VOTE PAT CALL OUT OF OFFICE

Miracle Valley Bible College was founded in 1958 by Rev. A. A. Allen. The college dormitories have never experienced any 12 month period where there was no one ever staying over-night in them.

When the County Regulations were established in 1975, the dormitories had been already housing students, visitors and guests over-night. Therefore, the dormitories were grandfathered inasmuch they had continual use.

Jim Vlahovich, Director of Cochise County Planning & Zoning Department, and Pat Call, County Supervisor have never made any statement informing our office regarding various individuals or groups of people not being permitted to spend a night or nights in our dormitories.

That is, not until the Minutemen arrived. And then all of a sudden, Mr. Vlahovich informed us that we were not permitted to allow accommodations for over-night guests.

Because our college accommodated the Minutemen on our campus (for a fee of $5 per night), I was fined $9,655 - the total amount of money the Bible College received from the Minutemen during the month of April 2005.

This amount included freewill offerings we received from our church services where Minutemen attended, various donations that some of the Minutemen made to the Bible College, as well as the funds we received for serving meals to the Minutemen in our cafeteria that is certified with Cochise County Health Department as a public restaurant.

We must have a change in our County Supervisors, and this November, together we can make that change. Pat Call no longers has my support.

I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as President of Miracle Valley Bible College. Normally, I do not get directly involved in politics; however, this situation demands proper justice, something that Pat Call is not capable of.

I hope that citizens of Cochise County, District One, will join with me in voting Pat Call out of office as County Supervisor.

I also hope that the new County Supervisors will relieve James Vlahovich of any association with Cochise County. Let's see if he can earn his $135,000 per year salary doing doing something else.

Am I upset? Most certainly I am!

You see, in addition to the fine of $9,655 imposed upon myself, Mr. Vlahovich and Pat Call made sure to include an additional fine of $50 per day to be added to the $9,655 until it has been paid in full. The $50 per day equates into $1,500 per month. To this date, we have been unable to pay this fine.

This fine is ridculous and equates into total harrassment for the Bible College and our work for God.

County officials are to be servants to the public, not dictators.

Vlahovich is a dictator who must go. He makes up his rules as he goes. Vlahovich knew beyond any doubt that the dormitories at Miracle Valley Bible College had continual use since 1958, thus were grandfathered, but nevertheless, he openly defied this fact and had his way instead. Do we want this type of administration? I think not!
