Perry Players rehearse for Tintypes performance
Tintypes to be performed in Perry
By DENNIS HOOPER
Special to the HHJ
Mark it on your calendars and
plan to be there! The Perry Players
have a cast of 35 people prepared to
entertain you with singing and
dancing the way it was done 100
years ago! The play is called
"Tintypes" and is a collection of 50
songs from the years 1890-1915.
The title "Tintypes" has a double
meaning, according to Carol
Strandburg, the director.
"A tintype is a kind of photo
graph that existed in the early days
of the twentieth century. An immi
grant is introduced early in the
show, and we see him purchase a
camera and begin to develop the
photographer's craft. Much is the
show is held together by this im
migrant's experiences. The second,
more meaningful reference of the
world tintypes is that the songs of
this era accurately recorded the spirit
of the times. There was tremendous
patriotism, yet there was poverty
and hard things to different people.
Increased security ordinance draws public scrutiny
By ALAN WILLIS
Staff Writer
Councilman James Moore,
Chairman of the Public Safety
Committee, called a special hearing
with local business owners to dis
cuss a proposed ordinance. About
twenty sore owners and operators
came to the hearing.
The ordinance would require all
stores selling alcohol packaged to
go to set up a camera security sys
tem in their stores. Stores are ex
empted if they have three or more
employees on duty at all times.
Police Chief Frank Simons noted
that the ordinance would give the
department "evidence and assistance
in the even a robbery does occur."
He also believes the cameras will
work as a deterrent. "There will be
some aspect of prevention just by
having the cameras there," said Si
mons. He admitted, however, that
"cameras arc not a guarantee."
Moore told the group "we wanted
to know how you feel."
Several people raised concerns
over the requirement to have to
have an immediately available
backup camera system if the pri
mary system should become inop
erable.
According to Simons, the De
partment will employ a "sense of
reasonableness" in determine just
how long a store would have to
bring their system back on line
should it become inoperable.
If an officer sere to inspect a sys
tem and it was not working, Si
mons noted "that officer would cer
tainly have the right to issue a

The music at the turn of this cen
tury not only reflected life as it
was, but also allowed Americans to
express the possibilities and hopes
of life in this great land," Strand
burg said.
Those familiar with the work of
the Perry Players will know to ex
pect a high quality performance.
But this will be the first show in
the new Perry High School
Auditorium. Producer Karen Ban
said, "The seating in this new
facility is terriffic! Not only is ev
ery seat a good seat, the seats are
comfortable and roomy!"
This is quite a contrast to the
hard wooden seats of the Perry El
ementary Annex, where most of the
previous Perry Player shows have
been produced.
In talking about the stars of this
performance, publicity director
Dennis Hooper said, "There are ei
ther 35 or none, it depends on the
way you want to look at it. This is
what is called an ensemble cast,
where there are so many leading
citation."
Colton Sexton expressed his
concern that 'we're just at the mercy
of the people who arc working for
us...and the power company."
However, to the first point, Simons
noted that a citation would be is
sued to the clerk in the store at the
time the system was found
inoperable.
What the Police Department is
looking for, according to Simons,
is " a good faith effort." Simons
suggested that the operator of a
store should contact the Police De
partment if they are having diffi
culty with their system. Addition
ally the police could increase their
surveillance of that store while the
camera was down.
Simons also noted that "the end
of a citation is your right to come
to court." *
Several of the owners and opera
tors noted concern of the punitive
ness of the ordinance. Davis Cosey
noted "if we invest $4,000 or bet
ter, we want them [the cameras] to
run." He asked "if we are unfortu
nate enough to have mechanical
failures, why should we loose our
license."
The ordinance, as drafted, would
have automatically revoked the li
cense of an establishment the sec
ond time its camera was found to be
not functioning within one year.
While Simons explained that
"not every sore owner in Perry
shares the same sentiment," he and
Moore accepted the suggestion that
the Municipal Court Judge be given

roles that the wealth of talent that
exists in Middle Georgia can be
highlighted in the many group
songs, solos and dances."
Dennis believes the songs in the
show are common tunes we all
know. Examples are "I'm a Yankee
Doodle Dandy, "She'll be coming
'round the mountain", "Won't you
come home, Bill Bailey" and
"America the Beautiful."
"Tintypes" will be performed five
nights, March 7,8,9, 15 and 16.
The performances start at 8:15 p.m.
at the Perry High School Audito
rium. Advanced adult tickets are
available for $6 from any cast
member or from the Perry Book
store at 907 Carroll Street. If you
are unable to purchase advance
tickets, they will be available at the
door for $7 for adults, $4 for full
time students and $2 for children 12
and under. For more information

to do so.
Moore and Simons also agreed
that the camera's would be inspected
in the presence of a store manager
or operator.

Eaton appointed to Air Force Academy
By CAROL WOOLEY
Staff Writer
United States Senator Wyche
Fowler Jr. has announced the
nomination of Mark Eaton of
Kathleen to the Air Force
Academy's 1991 freshman class.
"It's great," said Mark, "I'm very
excited, but getting nominated is
easy compared to getting accepted.
The academies look at your record
is academics, sports and community
efforts. Only about 14% are
actually accepted. I should know
something around Easter.”
Mark was selected from a field of
more that 300 applicants from all
over Georgia who want to attend a
United States service academy and
to serve their country as
commissioned officers in the armed
forces after graduation.
"I am extremely proud of Mark
and all the outstanding young men
and women selected for nomination
this year," Senator Fowler said.
"They represent the best that
Georgia and the nation have to offer
"One big thing will be commu
nications," said Moore. He noted
that one of the best anti-crime tac
tics the convenience store operators
could have would be "to develop a
good relationship with the police
officers."

and spirit to lead our defense forces
into the demanding 1990's and
