First Graders Write Their First Book
Special to the Ledger
The Cannon Cubs wasted no time writ
ing their first book. These first graders
at Kinchafoonee Primary have proven
themselves to be outstanding authors and
illustrators.
After reading Harold and the Purple
Crayon by Crockett Johnson, everything
was coming up purple for the Cubs.
The Cannon Cubs wrote their own ver
sion of the book. They took their purple
crayon and went for an imaginary walk.
Mrs.Cannon reported that the students
came up with some great stories. The
Cubs encourage you to read this fun book
and find out about Harold.
It was a fun time in room C15. The
Cubs did many fun things to celebrate
their first book. During the week they
ate purple popcicles, grape snacks, and
enjoyed a refreshing grape drink. Thanks
to a wonderful Cub parent, the children en
joyed working with their grape playdough.
The Cubs worked together and constructed
a large purple city on a huge purple crayon.
They worked as a team to write their first
class Big Book, titled Our Friend Harold.
The celebration came to an end on Friday.
This was the big day when everyone wore
their purple clothes to class.
It was an exciting adventure for the
Cannon Cubs. You never know one
day you might see these authors in your
favorite book store. Mrs. Cannon gives her
students a big PURPLE salute for a job
well done.
Leesburg library receives
grant worth up to $16,126
Special to the Ledger
The Georgia Public Li
brary Service (GPLS) has
announced the first round of
recipients in its Major Repair
and Renovation (MRR) Grant
Program for fiscal year 2006.
The MRR was a legislative
initiative late in the General
Assembly’s budget session
earlier this year. It provides
$2 million in state appro
priations to match local funds
earmarked for major renova
tions and repairs needed by
the state’s public libraries.
The special budget appro
priations received support
from both House and Sen
ate, including Sen. Joseph I.
Carter (R-Tifton) and Reps.
Bob Hanner (D-Parrott) and
Ed Rynders (R-Albany). The
appropriations also received
full support from Governor
Sonny Purdue.
In the initial phase of the
program, a total of $1,245,099
is being allocated to fund
needed repair projects at 17
public libraries across the
state.
Among libraries receiv
ing funds for roof repair and
replacement is the the Lee
County Public Library, which
will receive up to $16,126 for
its headquarters in Leesburg.
Funds will be provided on a
reimbursement basis and will
be based on actual
construction and
repair costs.
MRR grants
will pay up to
90% of approved
costs associated
with major repairs
and renovations
of existing library
facilities that are closed due
to catastrophic events. Grants
will also pay 50% of approved
costs associated with roof and
structural repairs of existing
library facilities.
Structural and roofing
repairs often have the great
est impact on the
physical integrity
of the buildings,
as well as on the
protection of their
contents.
The announced
first phase awards
include applica
tions from both
the first and second round of
grant applications. A third
and final round of applications
is due Oct. 15.

Each project must be part
of an organized and super
vised program of work. The
project must be planned and
operated with the help of the
organization adviser, produce
sufficient income to repay the
loan, and provide the youth
with practical business and
educational experience.
Each year, many young en
trepreneurs take advantage of
these loans and gain valuable
business experience in the
process. To qualify for a loan,
an applicant must meet the
following criteria:
•Be a U. S. citizen (or per
manent resident);
•Be between 10 and 20 years
old;
•Live in a town of less than
10,000 people;
•Be unable to obtain a loan
from other sources;
•Conduct a modest income-
producing project in a super
vised work program;
and
•Be capable of planning,
managing, and operating the
project under guidance from a
project adviser.
These loans may be used
to finance nearly any kind
of income-producing project
of modest size. Common
projects include livestock and
crop production, lawn and
garden services, repair shops
and roadside stands. The
maximum loan amount can’t
exceed $5,000.00. Loan funds
can be used to buy livestock,
equipment, and supplies; buy,
rent, or repair needed tools
and equipment; and pay oper
ating expenses for the running
the project.
Applicants must sign a
promissory note and be
responsible for repaying the
loan. In some cases, a co
signer may be required. Loan
collateral normally consists of
items produced or purchased
with loan funds. Repayment
terms can vary depending
on the type of project. For
