An open house was held Tuesday at Extension office hosts open house By STEPHANIE MOJICA LANCASTER A square-foot addition to the Garrard County Agricultural Extension Service office is virtually completed. Aside from a "few finishing touches," the Stanford Road building expansion is complete, said Mary Hixson, Garrard's extension agent for family and consumer services. The building, which used to be 800 square feet, needed more meeting space for groups such as Ag Development Council, Cattlemen's Association, Extension Homemakers and Future Farmers of America. Most 4- activities take place in the schools, though sometimes 4-H clubs use the extension service office.

The effort cost $700,000 and was mostly funded through state agricultural finance programs, Hixson said. The project also added a second entrance to the property's parking lot, which should ease traffic problems associated with major events. Approximately 350 people visited the revitalized building during an open house held Tuesday. The crowd included a number of local and state officials such as State Rep. Lonnie Napier, Garrard County Judge-Executive John Wilson, Garrard Magistrate Joe Leavell, Lancaster Mayor Brenda Powers and Lancaster City Council members Chris Davis and Maggie Mick.

"This is a beautiful building," Wilson said. "The people in Garrard County have a lot to be proud of when looking at this building." It took about six months for builders to complete the expansion. During that time, a number of community or- ganizations, including Lancaster Baptist Church, Friends of Paint Lick, Lancaster Housing Authority and Garrard County Public Library, lent space to extension agents when needed. Any community organization or business that would like to hold an educational event can arrange to use the extension service office's meeting space, based on availability, free of charge, according to Hixson. Extension agents also welcome visits from people who did not get to see the expanded building.

Official: Adams retiring from UGA ATLANTA (AP) Longtime University of Georgia President Michael Adams is retiring in 2013 after 16 years at the helm of the state's flagship campus, officials familiar with the decision said Wednesday. Adams also is a former president of Centre College in Danville. Adams is 'expected to make a formal announcement today at UGA's main campus in Athens. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because Adams' retirement was not yet public.

UGA spokesman Tom Jackson declined to comment on Wednesday. Board of Regents chairman Ben Tarbutton also declined comment. Adams, 64, did not immediately return a call for comment. Under Adams' leadership, UGA has climbed in college rankings and national profile. The university's enrollment has swelled to 35,000, including the most selective freshman class in its history.

UGA has been named one of the country's top 20 public research universities for the last decade by U.S. News World Report. Adams brought in more than $1 billion in new construction since he took office in 1997 and hired nationally prominent researchers to build UGA's federal grant coffers. After he forced beloved Athletic Director Vince Dooley into retirement in 2004, Adams was nearly ousted by a group of powerful boosters who were unhappy with the decision. He survived the controversy with the support of the university system's leadership and key state leaders.

Adams also was in charge Deputies injured by mobile meth lab Two Lincoln County residents were charged Tuesday night with manufacturing methamphetamine and wanton endangerment of law enforcement officers when sheriff's deputies made an explosive discovery in their vehicle. David Wayne Roberts, 43, of Kings Mountain, and Keesha Lynn Saylor, 32, of Stanford, were each arrested on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine, wanton endangerment and two counts of wanton endangerment of a police officer, according to jail records. Roberts also was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Sheriff Curt Folger said deputies responded around 9:30 p.m. to a call about a vehicle trespassing on a property in the area of Lee Banks Road, where they located a vehicle with Roberts and Saylor inside.

Deputies discovered warrants out for both people for failure to appear in court. The department K-9 was deployed and alerted on the vehicle, and a search of the vehicle turned up methamphetamine pre-cursors, according to a news release. A loaded shotgun was found in the vehicle, which led to the firearm possession charge against Roberts. Saylor and Roberts were detained in separate vehicles about 150 feet away from their vehicle. When the vehicle was being towed away, a one-step meth lab that had been hidden in the vehicle caused a small explosion that released fumes, which deputies Ryan Kirkpatrick and Bill Hester inhaled, Folger said.

Kirkpatrick and Hester drove themselves to the hospital for treatment and were later released, according to the news release. Saylor and Roberts were lodged in the Lincoln County Regional Jail. Saylor is being held on a $25,000 cash bond, while Roberts is being held without bond, according to jail records.
