Teachers' salaries
House to keep raises intact
By MIKE PRINCIPATO
Staff Writer
The Georgia House of Represen
tatives has recommended keeping
teachers longevity pay raises intact.
The announcement came late
Thursday, February 21st.
The most recent announcement
came following an initial education
subcommittee recommendation that
longevity rates be permanently cut
from budgetary consideration.
Subcommittee members reversed
their recommendation Thursday, in
a report before the full education
committee membership.
"It still has to go before the Sen
ate for approval," said State Educa
tion and Legislative liaison Glen
Newsom.
"But as it stands now, incremen
tal longevity pay raises are now in
the 1992 budget."
Newsom's remarks came in the
Hafley thanks Kiwanis
for recycling program
By ALAN WILLIS
Staff Writer
Bill Hafley told the members of
the Kiwanis Club on Tuesday that
"it was through the Kiwanis Club
that we initially started the paper
collection" for the Happy Hour
School.
The administrator of the Happy
Hour School and Workshop re
cently wrote Hafley a letter saying
"I want to especially thank you for
your efforts in Perry in the recy
cling program on our behalf."
Hafley pointed out that a program
started by the Kiwanis Club has
spread to the schools and Northrop,
and now Kellwood, and PPG
Industries are both interested in
starting similar programs.
Hafley then explained what is re
cyclable and what is not.
According to Hafley, Happy Hour
will take paper, card board (which
includes everything from cereal
boxes paper roll centers) and is try
ing to start a can recycling pro
gram. He pointed out that batteries
are recyclable at K-Mart and that oil
can be taken to local service sta
tions.
With the State mandate to reduce
waste by 25 per cent beginning in
the year 1992, Perry has begun a
composting program. "In Perry, we
feel we can meet the mandate with
out a problem."
Hafley addressed the issue of a
materials recovery facility, noting
that "taking all the garbage destroys
the incentive to conserve."
A program Hafley saw as more
promising is one like that used in
Palm Beach, FL. The plant is called
a materials recycling facility, and
"collects only recyclables."
Through burning the residue, the
center creates 60 mega watts a day
for Florida Power.
Hafley noted that, in the near fu
ture, plastic containers will be
coded on a rating from 1 to 6. Only
those plastics rated 1 ( for example
soft drink bottles) and 2 ( for
example milk containers) are recy
clable.
While milk cartons can be turned
into fence posts, Hafley noted "it
takes 10,000 milk cartons to make
one fence post." He did point out
"that fence post will last for ever."
midst of controversy of whether
teachers would lose a portion of
their annual income.
"We don't want to see it happen,"
said Houston County Superinten
dent Harold Chapman earlier this
week.
"Teachers have been very under
standing about the tight budget.
However, they had assumed they
would still get earned incentive in
come. If this passes their not going
to be happy."
According to Chapman, remov
ing longevity pay rates would make
state-wide recruitment extremely
difficult. Furthermore, Chapman
feels removing longevity pay rates
would remove teacher's incentive to
work in the state.
Educators were notified earlier
this year not to expect annual cost
of living pay raises due to tight
budgelary restrictions.
Bill Hafley
On a final note, Hafley told the
Club that "the Slate is obligated to
find a location and build an inciner
ator for hazardous waste."
