Bainbridge - On Monday, more than 840 computers, including all their hardware such as keyboards and monitors, were being installed in the new Bainbridge High School.

It will take a crew of about a dozen technicians from Micro Technology until the end of the week to complete the installation, and then all next week to finish programming all the computers.

And all those 160-gigabyte Acer computers are just the beginning of how the new school is stepping up to be more hightech, said Steve Dunn, the director of technology with the Decatur County Board of Education.

Dunn said the school is impressive, but when people drive by, those in the school system don't want them to just acknowledge it as an impressive campus.

"We want them to drive by and say what an excellent learning environment it is," Dunn said. "We want to give it the look and feel of higher learning--this school is about academics.

The new high school also has 120 TVs, and enough fiber optic cables and other cabling that if it was stretched out from end to end, the cables would be 90 miles long," Dunn said.

Dunn, a 15-year veteran of the classroom, said today's high school graduates are competing for jobs worldwide now, and computers, the TVs and other high-tech systems being installed in the new high school are vehicles to allow for the students to go to the next level.

Blakely - Local authorities are investigating a fight that broke out between two groups of young black males Sunday night which left one local teenager dead.

Around midnight officers were called to the intersection of Chattahoochee and South Church streets adjacent to the Blakely Cemetery where they found 19-year-old Xavier Sanchez lying on the side of the street.

Several people at the scene told officers there had been a fight. Investigators told the News that eyewitness reports vary, but there may have been as many as 20 people involved in the fight.

Sanchez apparently died from blunt force trauma resulting from multiple blows to the head.

Authorities have arrested a 16-year-old juvenile and charged him with felony murder in connection with Sanchez's death.

Authorities are getting conflicting reports from the eyewitnesses being interviewed. However, they believe the incident started at a nearby party before escalating into the full blown violence by the cemetery. They also believe Sanchez's death was not random, but that he was the intended target.

Authorities became more concerned about the death Tuesday morning when gang-looking graffiti showed up on several buildings in town.

Investigators were exchanging information with FBI agents in an effort to determine if there was actually gang activity.

Blountstown - Investigators are awaiting results from the Medical Examiner's office to confirm the identities of a man and woman found stabbed to death in a Mossy Pond home.

Sheriff David Tatum told The County Record that Frederick Marshall III owned the residence on Lake Shore Drive where the bodies were discovered Thursday night. In an odd twist, authorities believe the man and woman killed each other during a domestic dispute.

Reports indicate the case began just after 7 p.m. when a young man from Wewahitchka went to the home in search of his mother who resided with Marshall.

"He had not been able to contact her for almost a week, so he came up to check on her," says Sheriff Tatum.

The man reportedly looked in a window, saw a dead body, and called the sheriff's office. Responding deputies peered into a kitchen window where they spotted two bodies, one female and one male.

It appears she first cut and stabbed him in the arms and chest. Then he took the knife and apparently stabbed her in the back and chest. They were found side by side in the kitchen floor.

The two have not been identified, but everything appears to be looking like it was the two that were living in the home.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Donalsonville - At approximately 9:14 p.m. on Tuesday night, June 23, 23-month-old Key'laysiah Jones darted into the path of a 1992 Honda Accord driven by 31-year-old Shanakia Mathis at 809 E. 7th Street, the home of the little girl's grandmother.

Mathis was traveling east on 7th when the child ran from the south side of the road into the path of the automobile.

No other information regarding the tragic accident has been released. The Donalsonville Police are continuing the investigation.
