Making His Move
It looks like there’s an intense game of checkers going on here. Jack Holcombe, of Forsyth
County, at left, and George Cook, of Gainesville, squared off Friday in the AARP’s challenge
of games. At right, Arthur Smith of Cornelia, assistant state director for AARP, shows his
form of pitching horseshoes. It wu a day of fun, even though the local group lost after all the
scores were totaled. (News staff photos by Lane Gardner Camp.)
Grand Jury Views Litter Contr\
The July term of the For
syth County grand jury rec
ommended seven steps to
control “the problem of lit
ter and illegal dumping
which persists throughout
the county” in its recent re
port.
The seven recommenda
tions are:
Briefing city and county
law enforcement officers on
litter laws to ensure more
alert and aggressive appre
hension of illegal litterers.

more properly contribute to our reve
nue picture while maintaining our com
petitive stance.”
Examples of Bell’s response to
this“new reality" include:
Twenty-five percent reductions
from normal day rates for customer-di
aled inside-Georgia long distance calls
placed between noon and 1 p.m. on
weekdays.
Reduction of minimum time peri
ods charged for inside-Georgia, person
to-person long distance calls to one
minute from the present three minutes.
This would make these rates closer to
rates charged for out-of-state calls.
Extension line charges would be

The Hamiltons do eight different kinds of butterflies.
All are local except one the Claudius which is native
to the northwest U.S. The reason they decided to add the
Claudius to their offering was that Ann’s mother had
complained that she needed a neutral-colored butterfly
to wear as a pin with her clothing. (The Claudius is
white and gray.)
The Hamiltons have all sorts of reference materials
on butterflies because of their commitment to having
the wing pattern and colors match the original as near
as possible.
As a matter of fact, Ann paints from the original
whenever possible. She says she and Tony have all kinds
of butterflies in shoe boxes that they’ve caught or found
on the side of the road or that people have brought to
Trail Bike
Is Recovered
A 1975 Honda Trail Bike
has been recovered by For
syth County authorities and
arrest warrants and juvenile
pickup papers have been is
sued, according to investiga
tor Randy Simms.
Simms said the bike was
allegedly stolen from the
residence of Larry Gilbert,
Cumming route 6. It was re
covered at a residence of
Highway 19 south.
The investigation also led
to the recovery of a second
motorcycle, allegedly stolen
from William R. Tidwell, Al
pharetta Route 1, just inside
Forsyth County.
When isNOW?
Hiring a special litter
control officer for the For
syth County Sheriff’s De
partment. This officer’s sole
responsibility would be to
catch illegal litterers and
dumpers.
Urging the county
Board of Commissioners to
consider using trash dump

eliminated and that cost placed on the
extension telephone itself.
Coin telephone rates would be in
creased to 25 cents from 10 cents at
those phones equipped with the Dial
Tone First feature, which permits a
call to an operator or a three digit
emergency number like 911 without
first depositing a coin.
Jennette explained that currently the
cost to the company for a coin call is
about twice the 10 cent charge to cus
tomers, the deficit being made up out
of their home and office phone bills. “It
is not fair to subsidize this service,
largely used by the traveling public,
with Georgia customers’ rates. This
proposal is designed to change that.

“The overall redesign of our price
structure reflects changes in the busi
ness and residence environments- in?
which we operate,” Jennette said.
“Some of those changes will be signifi

portance is that these pricing changes
will prepare us for a time when we will;

The antennas on the butterflies are made by Tony out
of floral wire.
Ann explained that when they first started creating
the butterflies, they tested them out by giving them to
relatives. This allowed them to assure that they were
durable.
The special thing about the Hamiltons’ craft, accord
ing to Ann, is that there’s something in it for each of
them. But at the same time, she says, “It’s something
we can share.”
The Hamiltons take their butterflies to about seven
shows a year. Coming up, they will be at the Wildlife Ex
hibit at Lenox Square on Oct. 25-27. And in November,
they will be at the Quinlan Art Center in Gainesville.
The Hamiltons have four children, Tracy, Bryan, Di
ana and Clark.
