Tills week in NNJ history?
30 years ago:
Here’s just one example of a home for sale during this period. “Four bedrooms, three baths, delightful
15X30 sunken living room with fireplace. Carpeting. Tremendous master bedroom suite, 16X50 covered
patio, two-car garage, 100 fruit trees and many other extras.’’ And the cost? $59,000.
Also, Thomas B. Lance is advertised to be the guest speaker at the 22nd Annual Perry Area
Chamber of Commerce meeting. Introducing Lance, a prominent banker, former commissioner on the
Georgia Department of Transportation - and a whole slew of other accolades - is slated to be none
other than U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn of Perry. ,
20 years ago:
Westfield’s Lady Hornets repeat as region champions, running the table on the other teams with a
combined score of 31-4. They beat John Milledge 13-0, Georgia Military 5-4 and GMC 13-0 in the title
game. (And on a sidenote, one of the players is Kristie “Moncrief" so you know she's good.)
In other horrific news, a Perry High School Senior, Carla Ragin, is found murdered in her home. More
to follow in HHJ history editions as events unfold.
10 years ago:
The City of Perry gets an $821,100 loan to build a sewer extension that will in turn allow the new
school being built in Kathleen to hook into the Perry system. And, three men (an earlier HHJ history
item) accused of setting fire to an Elko church plead guilty. Plus, the Houston County commissioners
vote to review the $1.4 million magistrate court plan.

Perry ponders
new utility bill
By CHARLOTTE
PERKINS
Journal Staff Writer
A new kind of utility bill is
likely for Perry’s homeown
ers, as well as businesses,
churches and schools, with
the cost for the average hom
eowner reportedly probably
less than $5 per month.
Faced with increasing
housing and business devel
opment, and a need to avoid
flooding and other drainage
problems, the city council
is considering adding storm
water drainage to its list
of utilities, and creating
an “enterprise system” in
which improvements can be
made and costs covered.
The City of Warner Robins
has a similar ordinance in
place already.
Ronald A. Feldner and
Rich Geuel of Integrated
Science and Engineering

council in work session

This old house
Volunteer team does some
much-needed repair work
By CHARLOTTE

Journal Staff Writer
A poet once wrote “It
takes a lot of livin’ to make
a house a home.”
Sometimes it also takes
some hard work and money
to keep an old house safe,
warm and dry enough to be
a home.
Last week an elderly Perry
couple with limited income
got a new roof for their old
home. It has been leaking so
badly that both of them were
sick from the mold.
Last week life got a little
easier for a young man who
is paralyzed from the neck
down following a diving acci
dent. The doors in his home
were widened for wheelchair
access and a ramp was built
from a side exit. The changes
also meant that he’ll be able
to get out in case of a fire.
Last week a woman liv-

impervious surfaces, across
the city, and offering sev
eral different scenarios for
ongoing improvements and
maintenance as well as for
fees.
City Manager Lee Gilmour
recommended the lowest
rate, which would be about
$3.85 per month for the
average home.
There will be further
public education and pub
lic hearings before an ordi
nance is approved.
At the City Council meet
ing that followed, the coun
cil also:
■ voted to extend the
Planned Unit Development
moratorium for 60 more
days. The moratorium has
been in effect for nearly 90
days now while the city’s
guidelines for mixed-use
developments are being
reconsidered.
■ voted to enter a con
tract with Triton Water
Technologies and Citycapital
for establishing an automat
ed meter reading program.
ing in a weather-beaten old
shack had her home insu
lated, with aluminum siding
put in place over unpaint
ed board, and a new roof
to replace the old tin one.
The improvements meant
that she can keep on living
there.
Others got help, too. It
took donations of materials
from half a dozen area busi
ness, donations of money
from groups and individu
als, plenty of coordination
by Riley Hunt and Frank
Shelton of Perry Volunteer
Outreach and three dozen
hard-working volunteers.
Dividing into teams, the
volunteers, many of whom
were retirees, took on proj
ects across the Perry area.
They just put on their tool
belts, loaded up trucks and
vans with supplies and went
to work.
