Students at Blacklick Valley High School can volunteer to take random drug and alcohol tests.

The voluntary tests must have the approval of both the parent and the student.

Staff at the school said they want to use the “Remembering Adam” program as a way to encourage good choices and reward students who are making the right choice to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

Blacklick Valley is the fourth school in the area to implement the program that is in memory of a Cambria County student who died of a cocaine overdose in 1998.

If a student tests positive for drugs, the principal said school officials will try to find the necessary help that the student will need.

The regular meeting of the Ashley County Quorum Court on Tuesday afternoon, July 10, was a very routine one with action taken on only two items.

The justices unanimously approved an ordinance to amend the county’s drug testing policy, as requested by Sheriff David Johnson. The ordinance had previously applied to deputies and others who carried weapons. As changed Tuesday afternoon, the ordinance defines public safety employees as all those people who work at either the county jail or in the law enforcement division of the sheriff’s department. The change means that all employees in each division will be subject to drug tests.

Ashley County Judge Emory Austin announced that he is appointing Dr. Ben Walsh to fill a position on the Ashley County Hospital Board now held by Dr. J. D. Rankin, whose term expires at the end of the month. The justices unanimously affirmed the appointment.

The county judge noted that a committee to study the proposed new cleanup ordinance will meet at 2:30 p. m. this Thursday. Also, due to the illness of Justice Nathaniel “Beby” Reed, Justice Corliss McCain will serve on the committee.

Justice Carl Vorhease announced that the budget committee will meet on August 6 at 9 a.m. to review this year’s budget items and begin work in next year’s budget.

The monthly report from the Ashley County Medical Center showed that admissions for the first eight months of the hospital’s fiscal year are up to 922 from 889 last year.

Inpatient days are up to 2,505 from 2,366 last year while swing-bed patient days are down to 292 from 349. Emergency room visits are up from 5,011 during the same period last year to 5,259 this year.

Surgical procedures are down slightly, from 754 last year to 721 for the first eight months of this year.

Outpatient visits are up from 12,921 during the first eight months of last year to 13,475 for the same period this year.

Over first eight months, the hospital has had a gain from operations of $18,803.

During the same period, the report indicated, the hospital has provided $39,553 in charity care and has had bad debts of $1,456,431.
