  "And with the moving of the library and the auditorium, that does offer the opportunity for the hospital to expand, and to partner with VSU and the new healthcare training, we can then train therapists and nurses and become even maybe a teaching hospital where doctors that are training somewhere could do their internships here; that would be great!"

  6.d. Appointments to Lowndes County Library Board.
  If the Library Board has its members listed somewhere online, I can't find it. Nobody showed up to speak. County Manager Joe Pritchard said Edward Rawls and Rabbi Elbaz(?) asked not to be reappointed, and Kay Harris is asking to be reappointed. (They didn't mention that Harris is also the chairman of the library board and the editor of the VDT.) Names under consideration are [clatter, bang]. It's impressive the ways Pritchard finds to be unintelligible even with his microphone adjusted correctly.

  How about we find ways to locate new facilities like libraries and auditoriums in those "bad" neighborhoods to make them better?
