County ties up loose ends
as year nears conclusion
BY BRENDA THOMPSON
Staff Writer
With an unusually short and un
eventful agenda at hand, Houston
County Commissioners held their
final regular meeting of the '93-’94
fiscal year Tue*sday evening at the
Houston County Annex.
Business was essentially limited
to some routine “end-of-lhe-year
housekeeping” and the tying up of
loose ends as the county readies to
begin its new fiscal year which be
gins on July 1.
Among the actions commission
ers took Tuesday were:
•Approval of name changes for
two county roads which currently
have the same name.
According to the commissioners,
there are presently two Kersey roads
in the county, one on the north end
and one on the south end.
To remedy the situation and to
eliminate confusion for emergency
agencies dispatched to either road,
all future maps will have the roads
designated as North Kersey Road
and South Kersey Road, respec
tively.
•Appointed Houston County
Emergency Management Agency
(HEMA) Deputy Director James
Williams to the position of tempo
rary director.
Williams, who was also recently
selected to become the county’s
first fire chief, will fill the top
HEMA position vacated this week
by retiring director Bob Smith until
“such time as we nominate for ap
pointment a candidate for the posi
tion,” commissioners said.
Williams’ duties as the county
fire chief will begin July 1.

E. Stuckey makes bid for
local congressional seat
Eugene Stuckey, 55, a Bibb
County Democrat, is seeking the
United States Congressional seat
being vacated by J. Roy Rowland.
This is Mr. Stuckey’s first run for
public office, but he has been
involved in politics for a number of
years, having worked on the
campaigns of several prominent
Georgia candidates, including
President Jimmy Carter.
Growing up in Rhine, Ga., in
rural Dodge County, Mr. Stuckey
learned the conservative values of
small-town America, especially
hard work. One of eight children of
a farmer and a schoolteacher, he
worked from the time he was ten
years old in his family’s timber,
retail and farming businesses.
In his early twenties, Mr.
Stuckey began his career with the
U.S. Postal Service in Atlanta. He
was later appointed a rural letter
carrier and served in that position
for more than twenty years. He
worked his way through the ranks
of the Georgia Rural Letter Carriers
Association and ultimately was
elected state president
During this time, he also learned
the challenges of law enforcement,
as a deputy sheriff. From 1991 to
1994, he worked for the security of
all Georgians as a member of the
state Board of Public Safety, which
oversees the Geogia State Patrol,
Georgia Bureau of Investigation and
the Georgia Public Safety Training
Center. He is an honorary life
member of the Peace Officers’
Association of Georgia.
Houston landfill
to close July 4th
The Houston County Landfill
will be closed Monday, July 4,
1994 in observance of the
Independence Day holiday. We will
reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday, July 5.
Mr. Stuckey understands the
needs of small businesses. In the
late seventies, he created Stuckey
Rural Development and Stuckey
Management Corporations which
built and managed quality housing
for families with low to moderate
incomes. These companies created
seveal hundred jobs for Georgians
and provided affordable housing for
thousands more. He also served on
state and local committees on
housing and finance.
He has been a member of the
Jaycees and the Civil Air Patrol and
has served as both a deacon and a
Sunday school teacher in the
Baptist church.
Eugene Stuckey has worked hard
all his life. Given the opportunity,
he will continue to work hard to
represent all the people of Georgia’s
Eighth District in the United States
Congress.
