Williams and a co-worker attended Parents as Teachers training, which has since allowed them to go into the Perry Community to work with families. According to Williams, the Center - which oper ates under the Houston County Board of Education’s Literary Initiative - serves 22 families, primarily com prised of single parent homes in which the parent is trying to obtain a GED or higher education. The program uses home visits to assess development. She speaks in support of the “wonderful website” because “it does not target a specific race or socioeconom ic status it can be used all across the board,” she said of the site’s applicability.

The site posts press SHEAR From page lA Parking lots will have to contain one canopy tree which is “at least two inches in caliper when planted” and will be protected by a six inch standing curbing. Moreover, parking lots between an arterial road right-of-way and a principle building must be visually screened by an evergreen hedge at least two and one half-foot high or landscaped earthen berm to obscure vis ibility from the road. Shrubs and hedges are to be maintained and should form a “continuous, unbro ken, solid visual screening within a maximum of two years after planning.” Even grass is specified, as having to be of “species nor mally grown as permanent lawn in the city of Perry.” Perimeter buffers will be required between single family residences and com mercial areas, with a six foot privacy fence and a vegetat ed buffer of at least 25 feet. Buffers will also be required between non-single fam ily developments and single family housing. Showing support orientation, lethargy, sleepi ness, and hunger, according to Narconon. As heroin has proven to be highly addictive, “cheese” appears to follow in the same characteristic and symptoms of withdrawal may onset as fast as within 12 hours of cessation of use, according to Narconon.

The site uses a research foundation “to provide the info, support and encour agement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life.” According to the site, the goals of PAT are to increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and improve parenting practices; to provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues, to prevent Frank’s Golf Car Center SALES, SERVICE, & RENTALS 1237 Watson Blvd. Warner Robins, Ga 31093 Phone: 478-918-0680 Fax: 478-918-0580 Cell: 478-396-5157 • 1-866-800-7722 uuii.fran As(/ot/ca teen le t. com Let Your Own Light Shine C c The Store A--Divi-.ion o: Sou'hci'!

The site for parents pro vides answers for numerous situations from everyday activities such as reading and dealing with separation, to those exceptional times of dealing with death or loss and coping with war or trau ma.

Bonaire, Kathleen, Clinchfield, Haynesville, Grovania, Elko and Henderson are part of the “Crossroads Community Character Area.” Bonaire, which is described as “nestled near the intersection of Highway 247 South and Highway 96,” is defined as a distinct residential area with its own fire station, schools and other facilities. The planners suggest that “the beauty and unique ness of this community may be threatened in the future with the spread of more intense urban devel opment that is gradually moving toward this area. Recommendations include setting standards for build ing design, parking areas and architectural elements for “the new development expected after the widening of Highway 96 and highway 2475.” The planners would also like to see strip com mercial development dis couraged along the major highways in Bonaire. Kathleen is defined as a mix of residential urban and commercial usage .with some questions about the future of the Oaky Woods Wildlife Management area. The planners sug gest that “Kathleen has the potential to become delays or health issues early. For more information, log onto the website or call 1- 866-PAT4YOU. We see people differently.

The planners say that “because of the environmental and transportation impacts” of the industry in Clinchfield, it is unlikely that other uses would be suitable. Little change is projected for Haynesville, which is described as “a lovely resi dential area with supportive and highway development dotting the landscape” on Highway 3425. Planners suggest that Haynesville has “an opportunity to take advantage of its position on the Golden Isles Parkway through the creation of small businesses to serve the tourist traffic heading to the coastal beaches.” Grovania is expected to maintain “its importance as a small rural residen tial hamlet situated at the crossroads of two major county roads, and Elko is considered likely to “become a respite to residents seeking a change from the rapid growth to the north, The plan- DAVID OVERTON JEWELERS ‘Jewelry Repair & Cleaning / \ ‘Watch Repair Engraving H<mrs; \ AMs / ‘Appraisals Mon., Ikes., Thurs., Fri V'sQr/ ‘Estate Jewelry 10am- 6 pm \ / Wed. \/ ‘Class Rings lOam-lpm 905 Downtown Carroll St. • Perry ners argue that because of Elko’s distinct character and beautiful older houses and churches, new residen tial development “should be strongly discouraged from locating in this vicinity.” The planners recommend setting building design and signage standards for Henderson, along with streetscaping and an effec tive transition between the “dramatic topographic change” that gives a scenic view of rural countryside, and the well-defined com mercial area at the inter section of Highway 26 and Highway 41. For parks, recreation and conservation areas, the plan recommends greenways, bicycle and pedestrian trails, passive recreation, timber harvesting, wildlife and fisheries management, and best management prac tices in agricultural land use.
