just to be sure, others were
dispersed in all directions,
some to interview neighbors,
who were already coming
out to help, some to search
the area.
The Houston County
Sheriffs Office and the
EMS were both called for
back up, and the Georgia
State Patrol arrived with a
helicopter. Tikitia called her
husband who was on 1-75, on
his way home. A kind neigh
bor came and invited 8-year
old Areyhon to her home to
get her out of the middle of
what was essentially a very
frightening situation.
Meantime, Malik Glover
was on the move, oblivious
to all the excitement.

state level.
Another concern expressed
by the organization, and sup
ported by the Periy vote, is
that revenues generated by
the sales tax, which would
be added to services as well
as merchandise, would be
redistributed to close the
gap between more affluent
counties and poorer coun
ties, creating “donor” coun
ties and “donee” counties.
GMA has characterized
Richardson’s plan as “tax
shift, not tax reform,” and
claims that the plan, if
approved by the voters, would
“likely be a tax increase for
average Georgians, partic
ularly the elderly who, in
many communities, receive
property tax breaks.”

place in Georgia where etha
nol fuel is sold to the public.
Davis Cosey of Davis Oil
Company was recognized as a
Pioneer in Biofuels Thursday
by Georgia Commissioner of
Agriculture Tommy Irvin,
who praised Cosey and the
company for leading the
way.
“Davis was the first com
pany in Georgia to offer E
-85 to the public,” said Irvin.
“They have been selling
biodiesel and ethanol-blend
ed gas such as E-85 and E-10
and have had no problems
meeting Georgia state stan
dards for quality. It is impor
tant to recognize leaders like
Davis Oil that are innovative
and deliver the quality that
Georgia motorists expect and
deserve.”
Cosey in turn recognized
the work of the Clean Cities
Coalition, and the efforts
of Mark Hamby of Hamby
Chevrolet in Perry. Mark
Hamby said that his dealer
ship is selling 18 different
vehicles that offer flex-fuel
systems. He said this basi
cally means that you can mix
the ethanol fuel with tradi
tional fuel if necessary.
The ethanol being sold at
Davis Company’s two Fillers
locations is being made from
the by-products of a brewery.
The E-85 pumps are at the
new Fillers on Houston Lake
Road at Ga. 127, and the
Fillers on Marshallville Road
near 1-75.

This is not a shy or hes
itant little boy. This is a
bouncy, lively, very confident
kid.
Just past his third birth
day, he doesn’t stay still
long. Try to take his pic
ture, and he’s likely to stand
on his head on the sofa or
give you his best imitation of
Spiderman.
It’s Alice, the dog, who’s
on the shy and skittery
side. She was an aban
doned puppy at one point
and the Glovers adopted her
at Pet Smart a month ago.
She’s just 1-year-old now,
and a bit afraid of strangers,
quick to back away and bark

All the same, she knows
her job.
It’s clear enough that
Malik opened the door, and
that Alice not only went
with him when he wandered
away, but stayed right beside
him.
When Perry Police officers
Jason Jones and Quridsha
Gilliam found Malik a quar
ter-mile from home in a
wooded area it was because
they had followed the sound
of Alice’s barking, which
apparently was set off by
the helicopter just above the
woods.

ing to Capt Phelps.
The little boy had a few
scratches and some stickers
in his feet, and that was all.
The Glovers took Malik
to the Perry Hospital
Emergency room just to
be completely sure he was
okay.
Since then, they’ve child
proofed every door in the
house, and there are some
safety lessons other parents
of rambunctious toddlers
might want to note.
They changed the door
knobs from a newer kind
that opens with a simple
pushing down effort, to the
old-fashioned round kind,
and added chain locks above
the doorknobs on each door
leading to the outdoors.

The front doorknob now
has a plastic cover too big for
a little hand to grip and the
chain lock and wind chimes
that make a racket anytime
the door is opened.
“I am so safety-conscious
always,” Malik’s mom says,
“I teach children about stay
ing safe. I never thought
this could happen to me.”
Meantime, though, she’s
learned that she’s got good
neighbors all around her,
that Perry law enforcement
is on the job, and that the
lean and lanky black setter
who’s the newest member
of the family is one special
dog,
“I think maybe she’s an
