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.

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.

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 made a presentation to the council in work session Tuesday, presenting aerial photography that indicated the amount of paving, or This old house Volunteer team does some much-needed repair work By CHARLOTTE PERKINS 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.

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.
