at Rozar Park in agreement
that pumpkin pie can’t com

Most of the ladies remem
bered chicken, not turkey,
for Thanksgiving, but they
also remembered fresh ham,
because fall was hog-killing
time.
Betty Hancock gets a
dreamy look on her face
talking about the cakes her
mother and aunts made
when the whole family gath
ered for Thanksgiving.
“That devil’s food cake was
made from scratch, not the
box stuff,” she says, “and it
had that white icing on it.”
Others remember the
fresh coconut and caramel
cakes created by their moth
ers and grandmothers, who
had wood stoves or kero

The request for an injunc

“If individuals receive

Medicare, they should not
accept the charges,” said
DAS Director Maria Greene.
“With the enrollment for
Medicare Part D upon us,
these types of incidences are
likely to occur. People with
Medicare should be on guard
and protect themselves.”
The open enrollment
period for Medicare Part D
began Friday and ends Dec.

this as an opportunity to
take advantage of those ben

the bend in Leverette Road
near Hatcher for apart
ments.
The applicant did not ask
for the multi-family zoning
to begin with because he
was not sure of the tract
size for the apartments. City
Attorney Jim Elliott said the
total size of the entire tract
will be slightly less than the
121.836 acres as the tract
excludes about 10 feet along
the eastern border to pre
vent the creation of islands.
Councilman John Havrilla
expressed concerns about the
buffer and asked, “what’s
coming closest to Deerfield
and Prestige?”
He was told the apart
ments. The large commer
cial development also will
have offices on the west side
as a buffer between the resi
dential and commercial.
Havrilla was concerned
about what was going in the
commercial tract and that
residents would have to look
at the commercial property.
The city could not disclose
what was going there yet,
except to say it was a large
commercial tract.

At Doris Williams’ child
hood home near Perry, there
was always chicken with
cornbread dressing, and col
lard greens, and - of course
- tater pie.
“We had a big crowd,” she
remembers.
“My older sister and my
mother would do all the
cooking.”
Ollie Coney’s family went
to her grandmother’s house,
and grandmother apparent
ly reigned supreme when it
came to cooking.
“She raised turkeys and
guineas and chickens,”
Coney says, “and we would
have some of all of them.’
The conversation veers
toward the killing and
preparation of all those
doomed Thanksgiving birds
and hogs. Hardly a lady in
the room hasn’t wrung a
chicken’s neck, and they can
demonstrate exactly how to
do it.
The annexation and
rezoning request by Jack
Smith calls for a planned
used development or PUD
with about 360 homes. It
was zoned R-AG (residential
agricultural) in the county.
According to the submit
ted plans there would be 127
60x90-foot lots, 87 70x90-
foot lots and 146 80x100-
foot lots.
The minimum side set
backs are five feet with 20-
foot front and rear setbacks.
Medicare beneficiaries can
enroll, change or renew their
drug plan options for 2007
during this period.
For help, individuals can
call the Georgia Cares hotline
at 1-800-669-8387 or go the
Medicare Drug Plan Finder
at www.medicare.gov.
Also, Georgia Cares SMP
would like to warn seniors
to be aware of telemarket
ers and door-to-door sales
men claiming to work for
Medicare or the Social
Security Administration;
salesmen pressuring you to
make decisions about your
healthcare and insurance
benefits; and companies
seeking you to offer “free”
services and requesting per
sonal information.
If you suspect Medicare
fraud, error or abuse, report
it at the aforementioned
number.
Mayor Donald Walker
said he didn’t mind com
mercial by his house. “I’ve
got a Wendy’s in front of my
house. I don’t mind a bit. It’s
nice rent check coming in.”
The city also annexed
the Flash Foods, 3211 Ga.
Highway 247 Connector. It
will stay at the C-2 zoning.
The site has been having
septic tank problems for
years. City Planner Robert
Sisa said the owner would
tear down the existing build
ing and build a new one on
the one-acre site in Peach
County.
Walker said the city was
able to negotiate with the
city of Byron to de-annex the
tract as well as another 40
acres so it could be annexed
into Warner Robins.
“Once we went across the
interstate,” Walker said,
“Byron in a panic annexed
about 40 acres on this
side through the General
Assembly.”
The city also annexed 1.85
acres for Scott Free from R
AG to C-2 near the intersec
tion of Ga. 96 and Lake Joy
Road. It is in the same area
as a proposed Walgreens, the
Publix shopping center and
Lowe’s.
