He removed the tattered banner and will replace it with a new one. By CHARLOTTE PERKINS Journal Staff Writer Sometime between the 6 p.m. Wednesday night and 7:30 Thursday morning, vandals showed up on the grounds of Advanced Drainage Systems in Perry, burned a Georgia flag, stole an American flag, and left the company flag on the ground. David Davis, CEO of the company, said that he found the desecrated Georgia flag at half mast on the center flag pole, where a large American flag had been flying. The stars and stripes was missing. Davis, who was visibly angered by the vandalism, said he planned to replace the flags the same day. The incident is under investigation by the Perry Police Department, with no suspects identified at this point, according to Capt. Heath Dykes. Anyone with information about this crime should call 988-2824.

(Note: If you’ve just gotta have ’em, the current starting bid on ebay is $3.98.) Also, voters reject a controversial school board proposal on construction and renovation but then-Superintendent Matt Arthur says it’s not over yet. “We most certainly will take these matters back to the voters,' he vows, referring to a state law that affords the BOE the option of resubmitting proposals back to the voters provided certain stipulations are met. 10 years ago: Pecans are great but not if you’re trespassing on other people’s property to get them. That apparently was the case as local law enforcement sends out a stern warning: “Get permission first, or else.” Also, a group of students from Perry High School prepare to make an appearance on the TV show Teen Challenge and Perry Councilman Ralph Gentry remained hospitalized after going into respiratory arrest.
