facilities including cabins, R. V.
camping sites, water slides, boat
launches, shelters and lodge
halls, nature trails, etc. These
water parks
are located
adjacent to
reservoirs and
rivers.
Flint Creek
Water Park
was started in
the early
1960's as a
pilot project of
the newly formed Pat Harrison
Waterway District. There were
t.vo reasons Flint Creek
Reservoir was constructed. First
was for a means of flood control
the other was for recreational
activities. Flint Creek Reservoir
has the distinction of being des-
ignated as a public water supply
reservoir. It can possibly be used
as the town's water supply. In
May of 1969 Flint Creek opened
with the following facilities:
fishing, swimming, water ski-
ing, and boating on the 600 acre
flood Control and public water
supply reservoir, 56 campsites,
42 primitive campsites, and a
nature trail.
Through growing popularity
and demand a second camp-
ground was developed known
today as Camping Area II (sites
57-128l in 1972. Today there
are 132 tully developed camping
spurs tsome sites have 2
hookups).
Watertown. a water slide with
four adult water slides and a kid-
die area with two kiddie slides
opened in the spring of 1982
along with tour cabins. Last year
marked the twentieth anniver-
sat3' of Watertown. Watertown
usually opens Memorial Day
weekend and closes after Labor
Day weekend. After school
starts in Stone County which is
August 11 this year, Watertown
will only be open on the week-
ends.
A Land and Water
Conservation Fund Grant in
1985 allowed the construction of
five more cabins bringing the
total to i 5. There were six more
cabins built in 1993, andl2 more
in the spring of 1995 bringing
the total to 33. A state bond
appropriation in the year 2000
approved by the 1999 MS State
Legislature allowed for Phase I
of a capitol improvement project
to be completed. Phase I called
for the construction of 20 mil-
lennium cabins district wide,
with Flint Creek receiving eight
additional cabins. Phase II of the
ing. Cabins 1-!2 are called camp
houses. They have air condition-
ing, two bunk beds, and a televi-
sion. with cable, table, refrigera-
tor, stove, picnic table, and bath-
room. The scouts usually enjoy
this area, because these twelve
cabins are in an area by them-
selves. The camp houses are also
right on the water making it a

Dear Fellow Citizens of District 5.
I would like to request your vote and support, as your representa-
tive on the Board of Supervisors. ! feel that through the coopera-
tion of the Board of Supervisors a lot of good things were accom-
plished during the eight years that I served you from
1992-2000. Fire stations were built in the Big Level
and Ramsey Springs communities: over 10 miles of
gravel roads were paved and over 34 miles of exist-
ing paved roads ere overlaid or resealed in District
5, along with the construction and renovation of five
bridges: Stone County Citizens were relieved of the
hospital bond issue tax in 1996 and this has not been
on the tax levy since: The Stone County Health
Department was relocated to a larger and nicer facili-
ty to accommodate its growing needs; The new
Justice Court Building was completed: The Stone
County Covered Arena was completed: The Stone
County Baseball Complex "'ttood Field" received poles, lights, and
t;encing tbr three new fields. With a lot of work done by many vol-
unteers, the fields ere completed.
New business and industrial groxvth were on the horizon for our
county. During the last lbur years that I v, as on the Board, we sent
letters and made phone contacts to the WaI-Mart Corporation ask-
ing thern to consider locating in our area. I believe these contacts
spur,red their interest: and along v¢ith a lot of work from many
other people also, Wal-Mart became a reality to Stone County.
I I
Construction on the new Sheriff Department and County Jail along
with the Correctional Facility was started at no cost to the taxpay-
ers. The State of Mississippi, in a contract between Stone County
and the State, guaranteed the entire cost of the project.
Providing sufficient funds for Law protection was a pri-
ority of the Board of Supervisors, therefore the Stone
County Sheriff Department budget received a 60 %
increase during my term in office. This provided funds
for more deputies, patrol cars, and other needs of the
Sheriff Department.
If you will allow me to serve you again, I will provide a
good Road and Bridge Program, promote Industrial
Development, Provide for Health Care needs, Law
Protection, Recreation, Fire Protection, Senior Citizen
Programs, Educational Funding, and will work hard to
offer good services and to protect our natural resources.
I am an open-minded individual. 1 believe county and city offi-
cials, along with the Stone County citizens, should work together
to make and keep Stone County a great place to live, work, and
bring up a new generation. I will work hard to offer good services
and continued progress for each and every one of you.
For a county government run with honesty and integrity, please
vote Dale T. Bond, District 5 Supervisor, on August 5th. Your
prayers, vote, and support will be greatly appreciated.
