Randy Chancellor

Sheriff’s department’s Peace Officer’s Memorial Day on Friday
   The Jones County Sheriff’s Department will have its fifth annual Peace Officer’s Memorial Day Ceremony on Friday beginning at 10 a.m. in the Circuit Courtroom at the Laurel courthouse.    This year’s guest speaker will be Sen. Chris McDaniel.
   The ceremony honor law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. According to Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS), about 140-160 officers are killed in the line of duty each year and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss.
   The Jones County Sheriff’s Department will give special recognition to the family of Randy Chancellor, a Jones County reserve deputy who was killed in the line of duty on Feb. 28, 2001.
   “Law enforcement is an honorable and noble profession,” Sheriff Alex Hodge said. “Officers protect this nation, its citizens and those unable to protect themselves every day. We commemorate the lives of all officers killed in the line of duty, and honor the heroism of the many men and women in uniform.”

In Jones County Schools, a kid can play ball no matter how good he or she is if thier family gives alot of money to the program. You don't have to be blind to see this. Just look at West Jones baseball program. It's called money ball or daddy ball. That's the reason they will never get to Jackson.

GET A LIFE FOLKS....THERE IS CORRUPTION IN NEARLY EVERY TOWN OR CITY. I LEFT LAUREL MANY YEARS AGO, AND AM THANKFUL THAT I LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THE LAW IS THE LAW AND YOU RESPECT IT. CRIME IS NEARLY NON-3XISTANT. WE DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT OFFICIALS, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO....NEARLY ALL ARE ELECTED BY THE MAJORITY, NOT APPOINTED. SO, IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT, EITHER CHANGE IT, IF YOU CAN, OR LEAVE. YOU WILL PROBABLY BE MUCH HAPPIER WITH THE LATTER, AS I HAVE BEEN....THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO LEAVE REALIZE THEY DON'T MISS THE DRAMA, GOSSIP, SCANDAL, ETC...BUT DO LOOK IN OCCASIONALLY TO APPRECIATE WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.

I was just wondering if there are any legitimate political figures? The sheriff is obviously not! Well I know for a fact that he is a liar! Everyone needs to not turn a blind eye to everything. This world needs us to stand up for what is right! Not for a buddy or good ol' boy who might help us if we turn our head to corruption. You have to stand for something, or you will fall for anything!

I am originally from Jones County and would love to read this newspaper online, however, I read papers all over the world and I'm not going to pay for THIS paper. Wow!

Just when you thought you would be the only paper after the Leader Call shut down, one day later it is announced a new paper is coming. Welcome The Chronicle to Jones county. IMO it will not be long before any written newspapers will be on sale. Any newspaper can be read online at anytime and does not require any effort.

So now that the Laurel Leader Liar went under, are ya'll going to a.) Publish daily and b.) Stop being tacky and charging for the online paper? This ain't the New York Times, you know.

If we do not get this guy out of office he is going to own Jones County. I go all though out this county and I know he is not as popular as the local media puts him out to be. ALEX HODGE IS CROOKED!

Congrats Lance. Do a great job and shut the mouths of the ones crying here. Well, just do a great job, those in here will still find plenty to cry about.

I think that the resumes from all applicants for the emergency management position should be made public! Let the public see what a sham the process really was..........

To our new executive director of the EOC: How can you apply and accept this position when just last July you resigned from a position that took too much of your time???? Sounds like you're just another politician: talking out both sides of your mouth! Oh, and as for those interview questions, bet you were well prepped for those by your boss Alex Hodge. You may be a public relations guy and good citizen, but most qualified you are not!!! Here is the article link: http://leadercall.com/local/x202400174/Chancellor-steps-down-as-PIO In case it won't open, just google "Lance Chancellor resigns" Too bad that the new executive director wasn't fairly and honestly chosen --- it is a very important position and definitely isn't for someone with a marketing degree and volunteer fireman!

The process for hiring a new EOC executive director was a sham! Shame on everyone involved and yes, Lance Chancellor is an outstanding citizen; HOWEVER, there were others more highly qualified. To you Sheriff Alex Hodge, you have the audacity to sit on a committee, yet you eat lunch with Mr. Chancellor and rub elebows with him daily ---- after all he is your department's grant administrator. So much for INTEGRITY --- I voted for you, but NEVER again. Good 'ol boy politics are alive and well in Jones County. I encourage citizens to speak up ---- don't let employment processes and selection be such a sham.

I know three of the guys that applied and I know, they are more better suited for the job. I agree, Lance is a good guy but I didnt know that he was a good ole boy............this has scam written all over it!!!!!!

I think real highly of Lance Chanceller, but now Alex Hodge will have his hooks in the EOC. Lance is a good guy, i wish him luck,but, there were MUCH BETTER PEOPLE WHO APPLIED. THIS IS POLITICS AT ITS WORSE. SHAME ON YOU BOARD!

I am looking forward to Mr. Parker taking over as superintendent for Jones County Schools. He does a great job and will be a great leader. The majority of Jones County voters feel the same way!

Really? You have to ask why coaches are leaving the Laurel School District? Coaches need players that are committed and can remain eligible to play the sports they coach. From reading your post, it is clear that you are uneducated, and thus not eligible. Why don't you put the education of these children first and make that important, after that, everything else will fall into place. And to everyone elso on here, if you are going to post something on these forums, please learn how to spell, type, and read. It's obvious that people form the Laurel School District do not have these priorities.

I agree with R U Kidding! It is what it is. We all have made bad decision a time or two in our life. Some of us got caught and some of us did not. Unfortunately for Coach Bush and teacher, their wickedness has been brought to light and know they have to live with the consequences. To Serena G...People are going to point fingers, whisper, GOSSIP, etc. Nothing we can do about that. I just hope that the Coach and teacher have learned from their fornication.

Wasn't there some other things at that school that was swept under the rug that the public whispered about last year and earlier this year? Some of it was kept quiet cause of who they are. And while we are on the topic of things kept quiet, isn't there an administrator in the district that was dismissed from a previous school due to inappropiate behaviors? And our wonderful school district hired him?

Submitted By: R U Kidding?	Submitted: 4/15/2011
It's NOT gossip when its the truth.. He had to resign or get fired because he was having an affair with another teacher at the school and got caught. Plain and simple...

Submitted By: Serena G	Submitted: 4/12/2011
If you really want to gossip, why not gossip about the wrong doings and playing favors at that school. From what all the gossipers say, it was some of the big dogs at the school who wanted Coach B gone because he showed BACKBONE when asked about their child's playing time and riding the bus back together as a team after a game. He proved to be a leader time and time again but some people just have to have their own way so it cost him a job. LEAVE IT ALONE JONES COUNTY.

He resigned because he was having an affair with another teacher.. NOT A STUDENT!

Submitted By: Serena G	Submitted: 4/12/2011
Come on Jones County!!! Don't we have enough to do other than run down other people all the time? It's as if gossip is all we do around here in this small town of ours. Coach B is a good man with morals and values. He has always respected others and especially his players! It's obvious that he had other matters that needed his attention. Stop all the drama and speculations. Can't we focus on the good things in our county? Surely there is something we can talk about that is positive and encouraging.

HMMMM????? Didn't he have a brother that coached at wayne co and was in trouble with the law for an inappropriate relationship with a student? Now I know his brother has passed-but things aren't always as they seem. Who is to say he wasn't doing the same thing>? Just saying

Why did this outstanding coach walk away from his job with only a few weeks of school left? That don't make sense!

Submitted By: Deedra	Submitted: 4/10/2011
Coach Bush is a devoted and caring Coach who loves each and every one of the young men on his team. HE DID NOT TURN HIS BACK ON HIS TEAM! What most people do not know about Coach Bush is that he was not only a coach to his team he was also a mentor who cares about his players grades in school, their attitude and he went to great lengths to make sure each player could be part of that team whether they could afford it or not. My son plays on the South Jones Braves baseball team and he, along with all the other players, know that Coach Bush still lives in their hearts and is still with them at their games. Coach Mac has done and will do an awesome job coaching these fine young men to the playoffs....BEWARE THE BRAVES ARE ON A WAR PATH!

Submitted By: James	Submitted: 4/10/2011
Mac has been there the whole time with Clay.... They will play for him just like they would for Clay. I'm sure their focus is still on making the playoffs no matter who their coach is..... I wish them luck in their run.

Clay Bush is a great coach he will be greatly missed no disrespect to Lane but Clay has turned that program around this team is very young and has a very strong group of kids. But from what I can tell these kids loved to go out and fight on that field for there coach those kids would die for there coach so if Clay has plans to coach else where we sure would love to see him stay in Jones co
