Robert Sisa, head of the
city Building Department,
said the tract is “behind
Robbins and Free Realty and
the Nissan place” on Ga. 96.
The council also approved
the rezoning of the tract
from county to city R-2 (sin
gle family residential with
10,000 square foot minimum
lot size).
The request had been pre

directly related to annex
ation, is for $5,875 for a

south of Statham’s Landing.
It had to be annexed to allow
the annexation of a 125-acre
tract on both sides of Sandy
Run Road, which is cur
rently under development,
explained City Purchasing
Agent Mark Baker.
The other project is for
water systems improvement.
The $15,330 project will
install a repeater antenna
at a Watson Boulevard lift
station to assure adequate
communications to all exit
ing and proposed structures,
Baker explained.
The bid was awarded to

The facility also runs a
monthly yard sale. According
to its brochure, it accepts
“furniture, clothing, appli

functioning items that we
can sell in our monthly yard
sale.”
Yard sale dates are posted

recycling center behind the
Happy Hour buildings.
Happy Hour employs 270
people, of which 170 are
developmentally disabled.
“We provide jobs,” Smith
said. “We integrate them
into the community to help
them learn to do the nor
mal things we would do. We
teach them skills. We teach
them to be as self-sufficient
as possible.”
According to Smith, Happy
Hour got its nickname sever
al years ago when a mother
ask her child after he visited
Technical College in Warner
Robins - reportedly for
the construction of a Child
Development Center.
“Enrollment at these col
leges has exploded over the
past decade,” said State Sen.
Ross Tolleson in praise of
Wood said. “We are the con
nection that brings those
people together.”
This Christmas will mark
the fourth year PVO has

Agape Love.
Last year, the organiza
tion contacted more than 70

The eight-page tourism
brochure, the Warner Robins
Chamber of Commerce
Livability Book, will cost
$3,800 for 5,000 copies. It
was awarded to low bidder

in St. Simons Island.
The three fire department
equipment bids totaled less
than $25,000 for new bun
ker clothes, boots and fire
hoses.
The 10,000 feet, in 100-
foot sections of 5-inch fire
hose will be purchased
from NAFECO of Decatur,
Alabama, for $4,960. The 20
pairs of boots will be pur

$4,949. The bunker gear,
which includes 10 coats, 10
pants, 12 suspenders, 12
hoods, 20 gloves, four hel

caps and 10 retaining but

the facility, “How was your
day?”
The child replied, “It was
the happiest hour of my
day!”
“We want to establish that
to be the standard we try to
establish every day,” Smith
said.
Happy Hour relies on
donations, and the United
Way is a major source.
“The best way to help us is
to specify,” Smith said.
The donation form allows
donors to select specific
charities.

County governmental offices

$21,000 for this United Way
campaign.
Among some of the ser

should be demanding that
the extremists in their reli

retaliation at every offense.
By remaining mute, they
are in fact indicting their

it is a religion of violence.
As a Christian, almost
daily, I see or hear of offen

many of them emanating
from our own media, secu

has never occurred to me
to take to the streets and
commit unlawful acts of
