Scouts host camporee this weekend
With the feeling of autumn in the
air, the changing of leaves on the
trees and the completion of the
National Fair, Boy Scout Troop 96
turns its attention to Camporee
time.
On October 23, 24 and 25, Troop
96 will find itself in competition
with a number of other troops from
the Middle Georgia area. This year’s
Camporee will be held at the
Industrial Park on Valley Drive,
compliments of the City of Perry.
Not only are the city officials al
lowing the Camporee to be held at
the park, but they arc making sure
drinking water is readily available
to all the campers. In the past
week, city workers have also been
busy with their mowers getting rid
of the summer's grass growth.

Club generously donated S4OO to

By BRIAN LAWSON
Staff Writer
Dr. Ken Jones, director of the
Central Georgia Research and De
velopment Center and an economics
professor at Georgia College, spoke
to the Perry Kiwanis Club Tuesday
about the work of the center.
"The Chancellor of the state col
leges started a program of forming
research and development centers on
campuses south of Interstate 20
four or five years ago. The purpose
was to get local colleges involved
in the economic development in
the areas where the centers are lo
cated. Georgia Southern and Val
dosta centers arc a product of a con
sortium of the local schools in their
areas. Plans to locate a center at
the Macon campus of Fort Valley
State College were cancelled due to
budget cuts. Georgia College de
cided to keep the project going and
we ended up locating the center
there," Jones said.
ft
The five schools involved in the
Central Georgia Center arc Fort
Valley State, Georgia College,
Gordon College, Macon College
and Middle Georgia College. The
center currently has 11 undergradu
ate programs and 12 graduate pro
grams.
"We have a number of programs
where students have been able to
help local businesses. One of the

Pawn Shop made a donation of sev
eral slop watches to be used during
the competition. Troop 96 grate
fully acknowledges the city, civic
and business support of local
Scouting activities.
Jack Stanley, scoutmaster of
Troop 96, hopes this will be the
best Camporee yet. There will be
six different events for the scouts,
tower building, knot tying, fire
building, first aid, orienteering and
pancake cook and toss contests.
The first aid competition will be
handled by the Grovania-Hayncvillc
Fire Department. The Scouts can
look forward to some realistic sce
narios according to Stanley. The
other events will be staffed by some
very capable volunteers from sev
eral troops. These events will be
held Saturday, Oct. 24 from 1
p.m.-5 p.m. Troop 96 hopes that
Mayor Worrall and members of
both Perry City Council and the
projects we engaged in was a study
to determine the feasibility of locat
ing a technical school in Baldwin
County. Following the study, the
board of Macon Tech approved a
satellite campus in the area and the
plan has been sent to the governor
for his signature. The study was a
model throughout the state and
other colleges have been using it,"
Jones said.
The center has also helped a large
business downsize while at the
same time helping the employees
who were going to be laid off iden
tify small business opportunities .
The students studied what busi
nesses were likely to be successful
and they are helping some of those
people build those businesses.
"We have 10 teams of students
working with 10 firms in the Mid
dle Georgia area and we're always
interested in new projects," Jones
said.
The center is primarily funded
through Georgia College with some
money coming in through project
fees.
"Faced with a problem of students
dropping out of school at an early
age, we have begun an economic
education program for children in
grades 3,5,7 and 9. Twenty three
teachers participated in the training
