'* ENI/Gary Harmon TOP: Officials break ground for the Centerville Library during a ceremony Tuesday. ABOVE: Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue speaks to those in attendance. Lee Greenwood to perform Oct. 18 By DON MONCRIEF Journal Managing Editor He must have liked it so much - or others must have liked him so much (probably a whole lot of both) - that he’s set to make his return. Lee Greenwood will be per forming again in Warner Robins Oct. 18 as part of the Museum of Aviation’s grand opening of its World War II Memorial Hangar. Greenwood, who is also a strong supporter of Operation Never Forgotten, has had numerous hits over the years, but none bigger with audiences today than “God Bless the USA”. Operation Never Forgotten, by the way, is a non-profit, non-partisan national media communica tions organization, accord ing to its website, “keeping those serving our country since 9/11/01 in the public forefront.” “ONF creates recognition and remembrance through campaigns for our deployed troops, wounded warriors, fallen heroes, military fami lies and veterans.” They do that through, as you would expect, radio, R B S Gifff Infill! ! 24" Vent Free [ Logs L.P.

As far as God Bless the USA, it has become, accord ing to Greenwood’s website, more popular than “God Bless America” and the “National Anthem”. Other songs he’s had at the top of the charts include: “Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands”, “1.0. U” ( which earned him Top Male Vocal Performance honors in 1983), “It Turns Me Inside Out”, “Somebody’s Gonna Love You”, “I Don’t Mind the Thorns” and “Dixie Road”. He also has a new song out, “USA Today”. And, as an extra added pleasure, he will be performing alongside the Band of the Air Force Reserve. The concert is set to take place in front of the museum at 5:30 p.m. It is free and open to everybody but there are some restrictions, said Stephanie Robinson of the museum. For starters, the obvious: No alcohol allowed. Also, no coolers are allowed, she said and no pets other than see ing-eye dogs.

Sonny Perdue along with other state and city officials did the hon ors Tuesday to signal the beginning of construction for the $3.6 million facil ity, the money coming from SPLOST funds and a state capital outlay grant, said Marsha Christy, Houston county Public Library System Director. According to Christy, con struction on the building itself should start before the end of the year, and the doors open for business in early 2010. The new library will be 15,000 square feet, which is triple the space of the pres ent Centerville Library.

Steed worked for the adoption of the SPLOST, and McGlamry owned the property on which the library will be built. “The joint effort between government and the commu nity made this happen,” said State Sen. Ross Tolleson. He spoke about the impor tance of libraries for not just young people, but for the entire community. Perdue said the new library is a great example of the community coming together for the betterment of all. “Libraries are a bastion of democracy that proclaim the tenets of our Declaration of Independence,” said Perdue. The ceremony ended with him alongside state, coun ty and city officials tossing the dirt of what now is an empty field, but soon to be Centerville’s new library.
