Commissioner Andrews retiring after 30 years of service to county
District 1 Clarke County Commis-sioner Rubye Andrews is retiring after 30 years of service to the county. Tuesday was her last official commission meeting. She has been District 1 commissioner for 16 years (four terms) and worked in District 1 for 14 years before that. She said "I want to thank everyone for their kind support. I do hate to leave. I have truly enjoyed my work with the county." Her fellow commissioners thanked her for her service. Elma Averett is the Democratic nominee for the seat and Henry Burge is the Republican candidate. Commissioner Patricia DuBose is also facing opposition on Nov. 7 from Republican Clint Odom. The candidates elected will take office right after the election. Commissioner Paul Bradford said there will be no work session on Nov. 13 but that the new commission will meet Tuesday, Nov. 14. The Nov. 7 election will decide two seats on the commission. Bradford said since it was her last official meeting, he thought it fitting that Andrews make the motion to adjourn. She did so with tears in her eyes.
