The dance team is made up of 90
groups of girls from all over the
United Stales. Only four teams in
Georgia are attending.
The girls will dance in the
parcade which will be televised on
CBS at 10 a.m. and during halftime
of the game which starts at 1:35
p.m.

she said, saying "I have seen a lot
of changes."
Baxley was the first woman ever
hired by the Perry Police Depart
ment. "When 1 started, there were
four of us, now there are 33 of us.”
In 1959, there was a chief, a day
patrol officer and night patrol offi
cer and her. Now there are four
people in the detective division
alone.
Even so, Baxley believes there is
room for more patrol officers.
In addition to being a radio
operator, Baxley "kccpls] labs on
the jail and work the computer."
She, and the other radio operators
attended classes in the use of the
computer system.
"Perry was just a nice, small lit
tle town," Baxley said of the days
she began working with the Police
Department. "The town has grown
so much," she said, adding "the
biggest change has been in the last
15 years."
Now that her years at the De
Trash, from 1A
county and the number of apartment
complexes in Warner Robins that
made it difficult.
Hafley and City Manager Marion
Hay agree that curb-side reduction
would not be cost-effective in
Perry. At two City Council meet
ings where the issue was discussed,
Hay said that if the city went into
curb-side recycling it would do so
"because it is a good thing to do,"
not because it would make or save
the city money.
Hafley pointed to Boone, North
Carolina where curb side recycling
was begun. He pointed out that the
"cost of the system was quite dra
matic."
Suggs has a different idea. He
proposed to build a center where
garbage would be separated into
nine categories for recycling and the
residue from the process sent to the
landfill.
However, Suggs had difficulty
selling the idea throughout 1990.
His original plan would have placed
the center in Kathleen, along Hwy
247 Spur. Residents showed up en
masse to a January County Com
missioners meeting to protest the
proposal.
"I totally agree with the idea of
recycling," Sharon Prickctt, a
Kathleen resident, was reported as
saying. However, she did not want
the site in Kathleen.
Residents noted odor, water seep
age and rodent problems as their
reasons for not wanting the center
built in Kathleen. Residents also
feared that he wanted the center on
rail lines to import garbage for re
cycling from other counties or
states.
Suggs responded, then, that the
building would be cleaned daily and
no garbage would be left overnight.
However, the center, which he
wanted to begin in March, was
never built.

The girls will be dancing with
the group called the Colton Bowl
Parade Dance Extravaganza. This
year's theme is "Gametime" and

teens and adults.

training schedule planned, there is
also tiem for‘the girls to sight see

game, the girls will leave Dallas on

partmcnl are coming to an end,
Baxley is looking forward to "doing
things I've never had time to do."
"I don't intend to sit at home,"
said Baxley. She may get a part
time job, but she is definitely go
ing to Florida with her sister and
then to Savannah.
"I'm going to miss the whole de
partment," she noted. "This is my
life, it is like a second home."
Baxley's best memories are the
friendships that developed at the
Department. "We always cared
about each other," she said,
remembering "we'd sit around talk
ing when we'd have the chance."
With Police work, however, she
said that was not terribly frequent
Finally, Baxley said "I always
enjoyed serving the people of Perry.
She added "1 want to wish all my
people a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year," saying she was
going to go to a New Year's Party
for the first time in many years.
in charge of the Houston County
landfill, the current facility is ex
pected to last 20 years. An addi
tional 200 acres which has already
been purchased would increase that
life to 40 or 50 years.
Suggs believes that under his
plan, the current facility's life could
be extended to 100 years.
Phillips believes the simplest
area of reduction would be yard
waste and cardboard, both of which
arc recyclable. "The aluminum is
already taken out," he said, noting
that "we need a complete recycling
program."
The County, according to
Phillips, will "probably look into a
composting facility." He also noted
that currently Perry does not
amount to a large percentage of the
garbage received by the County.
There have been numerous at
tempts elsewhere to reduce the
amount of solid waste from house
holds. In Vermont, according to
Hafley, disposable diapers were
banned. However, a "black market"
of disposable diapers opened up, and
people imported them from neigh
boring stales.
Vermont also began a household
"paint drop and swap," which
Hafley said "might be worth look
ing into." The project, according to
Andrea Cohen of the Vermont De
partment of Natural Resources, is
based on the idea to "reuse what is
reusable."
Here in Perry, another interesting
step toward recycling has been
taken. At the December 18 Cit
Council meeting, approval wa
given for the purchase of a truck
load of garbage containers. Hug!
Sharp, Superintendent of the Public
Works Department, told the Coun
cil that "these containers arc recy
clable themselves."

”1 found out about Santa working
through other people when 1 was
four or five years old," Joe said.
"My father was trying to fill our
Christmas stockings with peanuts.
He dropped those peanuts in the
floor and they rolled all over the
place. I knew then that Santa has
lots of helpers.”
