Submitted Peppy cheep squad attends Flopida camp Special to the Journal Perry’s High School’s competition cheerleaders attended Fellowship of Christian Cheerleading camp at West Palm Beach Fla., in June. The team, according to a release, “had a wonderful experience becoming closer to God and bonding as a team.” SERSEY From page IB four miles an hour up hill and five miles per hour down. No matter where I visited, I made it a point to do some walking around. I called them jaunts. I got to see more on foot than I ever would in a car. I noticed everything. One of the first things I learned at ASU was that I’m invisible to any human who is not my age or older. People refused to make eye contact. They seldom greeted anyone they met and were offended or threatened if anyone speaks to them. Hey, it’s a beautiful morn ing. Say, “Hello!” Fortunately, I did most of my walking early in the morning, before 7 a.m., and met few people. Since I didn’t have to dodge other pedestrian traffic, I got a chance to see and smell the scenery. I have made early morning jaunts from New York City, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Warner Robins, Windsor Locks, Connecticut, to some Far Eastern locales with many hikes in between. I enjoy walking in cities. I get to eavesdrop on con versations. While in San Francisco, I heard two beg gars discuss the economics of competition. One was com plaining to the other that his income had fallen from S4OO a week to S3OO because com petitors had moved in. I made a jaunt through Nordstrom’s during that jaunt and listened to one man give makeup tips to another. A sad thing I see is lit ter. I am constantly amazed how willing Americans are to trash up their environment. I call litter the kudzu of humanity. Nobody wants it, and nobody will clean it up. I used to ignore the detritus of society until I realized I could combine another exer cise with walking. By bending to pick up cups, wrappers, and, yes, a used diaper, I’m stretching and probably use some muscle I can’t identify. I’m always amazed to note that most litter occurs within 10 feet of a trash receptacle. While walking I can get a good whiff of my surround ings. Maybe that’s why walk ing doesn’t equate to weight loss. It’s tough to pass the sweet smell of baking. The police aren’t the only ones with a lock on doughnuts. No matter where you walk, the cities, towns and coun tries are teaming with life. In Washington, D.C., I saw some of the biggest rats I’ve ever seen this side of the Pacific Ocean, and I’m not talking about politicians. One rodent was large enough to pay rent. I gave him all the sidewalk he Perry also brought home many awards including that of camp champs. In addition, Adam Gibbs was the jump-off winner, Stephanie Patterson, Sami Corcoran, Gibbs and Bethany Loggins earned All-American nomi nee honors, and Kayla Kratz, Sarah Evans, Loggins, Dusty McDowell, wanted. At ASU, a duck pond was located near the dorms and was populated by about 15 adult ducks. While there, 10 ducklings were added to the mix. Because I walked, I could easily stop and observe. Walking allowed me time to philosophize. Life is beau tiful but ethereal. Enjoy the now and drink Dr. Pepper. 1 ■ ' ' .■ ■ v ■' x'/Aa- ,’■■' • >*■ : ■ -,i * 1 ™ * *. ■ k 1 B;^| v ••. 111 H II V r I I ‘V; f 1 BBS | - . , I I iMPI *, smh . *4 * ; ', v / '*- v | ~ 3 ~— ■ j . - .

In Friday’s win over Masters City, Dillon Burgess and David Doyle each pitched two-plus innings, and Landon Hattaway and Avery Jones each went 4-for-4 at the plate. The team collected a slew of home runs. Jones, Cole McArthur, Doyle and Ty Odom hit the long balls. TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS Warner Robins American Little League made its first trip to the Tournament of Champions in West Virginia this year. The tournament for state winners of the 9-10 baseball division in southern states began Saturday and, unfor tunately for Warner Robins American, a North Carolina player was on his way to a tournament-record perfor mance. In a 6-3 win for the Southwest Forsyth Little League of Clemmons, N.C., Jacob Kennedy pitched a complete game, hit a grand slam and drove in a record five runs for the winners. DAVID OVERTON JEWELERS 905 Downtown Carroll St. • Perry 478-987-1392 HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL This record didn’t last for long, though, as also on Saturday Bobby Graven of Kentucky had seven RBI in a victory against West Virginia. Kennedy held Warner Robins to three hits. Warner Robins pitching had problems with the bases on balls prior to the slam, which decided the contest. Warner Robins American, or Georgia as the team is known by in the tournament, bounced back on Sunday with a 7-5 win against Citrus Park Little League of Tampa, Fla. Warner Robins American had a 3-2 lead after four innings then broke things open with a four-run fifth. That was important because Florida’s club had a three-run sixth. Jake Chastain, who hit a solo home run, was the win ning pitcher and Justin Jones earned a save. Four Warner Robins bat ters had two hits each. That group includes the top three hitters in the batting order: Payton Purvis, Hunt Smith and Cortez Broughton. Griffin Martin rounded out the multi-hitters.
