Roley, from 4A
Monday is a day set aside to
honor those who died for more than
a flag. It is a day set aside for those
who died for an powerful idea—the
idea that man should live in peace,
justice and freedom with his fellow
man, that individual liberty and in
dividual responsibility were the
Flint EMC offering farmers
savings through power plan
Today, more and more farmers
are relying on irrigation as
insurance against dry weather. For
those farmers who irrigate their
crops, pumping costs can be a
major expense in the production
process. Since many farmers are
now using electricity to pump
water to their irrigation systems,
Flint EMC has made available a
plan whereby farmers can
significantly reduce their power
bills, and therefore, their cost of
production.
The plan is called "Load
Management," and here's how it
works. Farmers can voluntarily
agree to allow Flint to install a load
management switch on their
irrigation pump. The switch would

The public is encouraged to
attend and pay their respects to the
memory of those who gave their
lives to ensure our freedom.
Surplus, from
Tolleson said the surplus would
be reflected in sharply lowered re
quests for funding from the various
county governments. In the current
fiscal year, local governments pro
vided $113,000 of the authority's
$161,000 in operating funds.
Perry contributed $7,345 to the
authority during the current fiscal
year, while Houston County was
responsible for just over $69,000.
The majority of the surplus
comes in two areas: salaries paid to
authority personnel and interest
payments to the authority. The au
thority was able to save over
$20,000 in salaries, primarily due
to its operating without an execu
tive director after Dick Ulm's resig
nation. The authority has also re
ceived over $21,000 more in inter
est payments than what was bud
geted for the current fiscal year.
The authority has also not
touched the $7,000 it placed into
the contingency fund for the 1994-
95 fiscal year.
In other business before the au
thority, executive director Tim
Martin said that Frito-Lay still has
not signed the bonds to complete
the chip expansion at their Kathleen
facility.
Martin said a gas-fired combined
cycled cogeneration plant proposal,
which will be built at the Frito-Lay
plant, has taken up most of their at
tention. The cogeneration plant will
provide steam for the plant, and
electricity to Georgia Power. Cur
rently, the Georgia Public Services
Commission (PSC) is holding
hearings on the co-generator plant.
Martin said officials at Mid-Ge
orgia Cogen and Frito-Lay were
reasonably optimistic about the
chances of the PSC approving con
struction of the plant. The plant,
which will cost around $175 mil-
cornerstones to build a truly great
nation.
And, in honoring those who
have died, we have to remember
that we have a responsibility to live
as free men. The worst insult we
could give the dead is giving up the
freedom they died to give and pro
tect.
automatically turn the pump off
when the peak demand for
electricity is greatest, typically
during the few hottest summer
afternoon hours. By allowing their
electric service to be temporarily
interrupted, farmers can be put on a
special "off-peak" rate that will
reduce their monthly power bills.
Savings under the load
management plan will vary
depending on pump size. Yearly
savings would average from several
hundred dollars for smaller pumps,
10 to 15 horsepower, to several
thousand dollars for larger pumps,
75 to 100 horsepower and above.

lion, should employ around 200
construction workers and 40-50
permanent full time workers.
Although Frito-Lay has not
signed the bonds to construct the
new chip line, a $25 million ex
pansion, Martin said the company
would sign the bonds. The new
chip line is expected to create 100
new jobs at the Kathleen facility.
John Sundquist, chairman of the
Perry Area Chamber of Commerce,
told the authority that the Perry
Marketplace, on Sam Nunn Boule
vard, has exceeded expectations for
profits.
Kroger, he said, expected yearly
sales in the SB-9 million range.
However, the store was drawing
Sl4 million a year, with two-fifths
of their customers coming outside
of Perry, said Sundquist. K-Mart
has seen its sales go up 80 percent
since moving into its current loca
tion at Perry Marketplace.
Sundquist, who is also manager
of human relations at Northrop,
said company officials have been
making a lot of visits to the Perry
plant. "They must have tripled fuel
sales at the Perry airport," he said,
"with the way that the (Northrop
company) jet has been coming in
and-out."
"We expect to hear several an
nouncements (of expansion at
Northrop) during the summer," said
Martin.
The authority also elected its
board for the 1994-95 fiscal year.
Steve Byrd won another term as
chairman, while Tolleson will re
turn as secretary-treasurer. Draper
Watson and Neal Rearden will serve
as vice-chairmen.
Grant,
from 1A
funded.
Construction on the projects is
expected to start sometime after
July 1, after the city’s new fiscal
year budget goes into effect.
In addition to the shelters, Hay
also added Thursday that the city is
planning to construct a couple of
fishing piers at the park in the near
future. Again, help from city work
ers and volunteers will be sought.
The $12,500 grant awarded by
the state were appropriated from
the Department of Natural Re
source’s Recreation Assistance
Fund (RAF).
In filing for the grant, Perry
competed with more than 300 other
applicants requesting almost $4.7
million in funds for fiscal year
1994-1995. Total appropriations for
the RAF program was $1 million
for the upcoming fiscal year.
Working with Gov. Miller to
secure the grant for the City of
Perry were members of the local
legislative delegation to the General
Assembly, including Sen. Sonny
Perdue and Representatives Robert
Ray, Johnny Floyd, Roy H
“Sonny” Watson, Jr. and Larry
Walker.

struction projects at Rozar Park or
