Royster wins first place
By ANDREA SELLERS

Several Perry Middle School stu
dents won awards at the Georgia
Science and Engineering Fair
Saturday.
Amy Royster placed first in the
Behavioral and Social Science Cat
egory for her project 'Does Color
and Texture Affect What Foods We
Like?' Amy also received a special
award for her project from the
Georgia Nutrition Council.
Amy was the only Houston
County student to win a special
award.
Amy took sixteen people and fed
them ten foods. She then asked each
to rate them. She then fed the same
sixteen people the same ten foods
but she died them a different color
and she changed the texture.
For instance she dyed the Brussel
sprouts black and chopped the pizza
into little pieces.
Amy discovered that for some
foods, like pizza, the color change
didn't effect the like or dislike.
The subjects like others foods,
especially vegetables, their natural
color.
Amy says she got the idea when,
while babysitting, she couldn't get
the kids to eat their vegetables.
She ended up dying them another
color and the kids gobbled them
down.
Allison Cooper received a third
place win in the Behavioral and
Social Sciences Category for her
project 'Music Versus Concentra
tion.'
She administered three tests to a
group of students.
The first was a control. The sec
ond test she gave while playing

Riddles told the committee
requests for bids on construction are
out and replies are expected by
April 26, with construction able to
rock music. The third test she gave
she gave while playing heavy metal
music.
She discovered that as far as short
term was concerned, the music
made no difference in a persons
ability to take a test.
Several students received honor
able mentions. They are Lisa Val
lely, Jennifer Gladu and Amy
Phelps.
The competition, which had over
500 entrants, took place in the
coliseum at the University of
Georgia in Athens.

Pleydell-Bouverie reminded the
committee all companies bidding
must be able to be bondable.
In other business, the C&VB
board voted not to have a
groundbreaking for the new

Instead, a grand opening will be
held once the center is open.

By JAN HAMPTON
Staff Writar
Benjamin Hamrick says he
thinks Perry has the potential to
develop the best recreation depart
ment in the state.
Hamrick, 37, was named Perry's
new recreation director Saturday by
members of the city council and
recreation commission.
"I hope to develop a recreation
program that will suit all age
groups," Hamrick said. "Recreation
is for every body. It's just a matter
of getting out there and making it
work."
A Perry resident, Hamrick, has a
B.S. degree in recreation from
Georgia Southwestern College. He
has worked for the Crisp County
Power Commission since 1981.
"I was happy at Crisp Power,"
Hamrick said. "But my first love is
recreation. There is so much poten
tial in Perry."
Hamrick said he will spend his
first day on the job (April 30)
meeting with the mayor and coun
cil.
"I need to see what they envi
sion the city of Perry doing recre
ation wise," he said. "Together we
can make plans."
The new recreation director said
he also hopes to meet with Hous
ton County commissioners to talk
recreation.
"I don't see recreation as being a
competitive type issue," he said.

traffic accidents in the county were

want to see what we can work out
to benefit every body."
Hamrick said he will meet with
the Older Americans Council to
share ideas.
"Senior citizens are an important
part of our population. If we can

wonderful," Hamrick said. "But I
