It was the first competition for the team, the only squad from Georgia to ever participate In the competition. Williams named to VSU Dean's List Deidre Renay Williams of Perry has been named to the winter 1994 Dean's List at Valdosta State University. To make the Dean's List, stu dents must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 and must have a quarterly grade point average of at least 3.66 with at least 10 hours of course work. Reid, from 1B grounds, efforts expended toward getting prepared for a career, and what MGT, its faculty, peers and experiences at the school had meant to them in reaching this point. Reid, the daughter of N.D. and Gail Moore of Perry received a tro phy and certificate, along with S2OO from the Student Council to defray her expenses at the state competi tion this summer. In accepting her award, Reid thanked all who had a part in help ing her reach her goal of complet ing studies at MGT. She also received roses from her husband, Kevin Reid, and congratulations from her parents, and friends as well as the faculty of MGT and her classmates. "I am very proud of Angela. She always worked hard to do her best. I hope she does as well in Atlanta,” her instructor Lewis Brinson said. Marsha Haley, Reid's supervisor when she was employed by the New Perry Hotel, said of Angela, "She was a good employee, depend able and well-liked by other em ployees and customers. She is well-deserving of this award." The GOAL program was spon sored by the Warner Robins Industry Now Group (WRING), and the chambers of commerce in Perry, Warner Robins, Peach and Dooly counties and Hawkinsville/Pulaski County. Begun in the early 19705, GOAL is an annual event held in Atlanta to select the outstanding technical student in the state. The program continues to prosper because state and local chamber officials support proper recognition of outstanding technical students of the year. MGT first competed in this pro gram in 1975. Although MGT has never been honored with a state winner, students from MGT have always competed admirably. Perhaps, with Angela Moore Reid, 1994 will be their year!

Stafford will serve on state rural health council Hon. J. Sherrill Stafford, Chairman of the Houston County Board of Commissioners, had been appointed by the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) to serve as one of two county government representatives on the State Office of Rural Health Advisory Council. Stafford replaces Taliaferro County Chairman Jesse Brown, who has retired from elected office, and joins Decatur County Commissioner Glenda Battle on the Council. The Advisory Council serves to advise the State Office of Rural Health and other policy makers on the unique problems and alternatives for delivering health care in the rural areas of the state. The Council is composed of some 25 members drawn from medical schools, rural businesses, the Georgia Hospital Association, the Georgia Medical Association, the Primary Health Care Association along with state agency representatives. Stafford and Battle bring the perspective of county government regarding these issues to the table. Currently, Ms. Denise Komegay, Program Director of the Area Health Education Center at the Mercer School of Medicine, serves as Advisory Council Chairman. The group meets bi-monthly at various locations around the state. According to the Council, health is a complex issue which is closely related to economics, education, transportation and ecology. Some 118 counties in Georgia are considered rural. ACCG believes that health care is critical to economic development and vitality; therefore, the availability and accessibility of health care resources is tremendously important to county governments throughout the state. As Stafford recently commented, "A lack of doctors, clinics and |^^^Kinnas| Melatonin can insure a good night's sleep Doesn't a good nights’ sleep sound great? For some people it sounds like the impossible dream. What a blessing it is to be able to sleep all night. If insomnia is a problem for you, there’s hope. The "hormone pill" that was on the television news and in the newspapers. Melatonin, was impossible to get for a month after it hit the news. Now it is in Perry. Dr. Julian Whitaker, Editor of Health and Healing Newsletter, recommended it to us last May for sleep disorders. In February, this year, he recommended it for jet lag also. Last month, it was reported by Dr. Bob Amot, on the CBS News, that some people experience side effects if the dosage is too high. What they experienced resembled the effects of a hangover. As a result, some companies have lowered their dosages of Melatonin to prevent these side effects. It is now available at Life Tree Natural Foods in Perry.
