GSP targets 122
Houston buses;
Grades top ‘loo’
By JIMMY SIMPSON
Staff Writer
The Georgia State Patrol,
usually in pursuit of autos, has
been focusing their attention on
buses in the Houston County
School System in recent days.
The county’s 100 buses were
part of more than 12,600 buses in
the state’s public pupil
transportation system to undergo
inspections by GSP troopers.
“As usual, we passed the test
with a 100 percent mark,” Houston
County Director of Transportation,
Houston Porter, reported this week.
The mandatory testing was
conducted to ensure all
transportation meets guidelines
prior to Houston students’ first ride
on Aug. 15.
An estimated 41 buses here will
transport Perry students to and from
home. That number represents
approximately one third of the
yellow transporters that will be on
the road throughout Warner Robins
during the school year.
“Our goal is to ensure the safe
travel of nearly a million students
daily in the public school system of
Georgia,” said Georgia Public
Safety Commissioner, Col. Sid
Miles.
Miles said the patrol would
ground any other county buses
found unsafe until deficiencies are
connected.
“We will identify any buses with
safety problems. During the third
week, we will work with the school
systems to correct the problems,
and by the 21st of August, we will
have certified the mechanical
soundness of every bus in the
system,” said Miles.
The state’s public safety head
said among the long list of items
inspected by the patrol are tires,
exhaust systems, fluid systems for
leaks, steering, and interiors of the
buses.
“We will check for overall
cleanliness, inside and out,” he said.
As many as 300 members of the

flood relief items such as food,
clothes and other items, for our
neighbors in Montezuma.
If you have items that you
would like to donate, bring them
to Stanley’s Parking Lot before
4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 12..

State Patrol engage in the annual
school bus inspection ritual.
“While some buses have been
found to have defects, there have
been few, and most are corrected on
the spot,” Miles explained. “School
transportation staff members have
been exceptionally cooperative and
helpful in getting the mammoth
inspection program completed,.”
There will also be an increase in
the number of bus drivers on the
road this year, according to Porter.
“We’ll have about 100 drivers,
and another 20 substitutes,” he said.
All drivers in the Houston
County are required to undergo
several tests prior to transporting
students.
In addition to the mandatory 18
hours of required state instruction,
drivers nationwide are expected to
obtain a commercial driver’s
license.
But Houston County officials
demand even more instruction.
Drivers in the local school system
must also complete 30 hours of
local training, according to Prater.
Drivers also are screened for six
hours on the buses without
students, and another six hours
while transporting students. A
special obstacle course and three to
four seminars a year must also be
completed.

Red Cross to ‘borrow’
sl7 million from relief
By VETO F. ROLEY
Staff Writer
Normally, the Red Cross helps
those who have been flooded. How
ever, with waters rising along
Corder Road in Warner Robins, the
American Red Cross found itself
flooded out
Sam Register, executive director
of the Houston Middle Georgia
Chapter of the Red Cross, which
has its new offices on Corder Road,
told the Exchange Club Thursday
that everything was fine at 8 a.m.
"At 9:20, water was up to the back
door, and we shut the power off,"
said Register. "I have never seen
water like that."
Register told the Exchange Club
that the Red Cross would dip into
its emergency relief funds for up to
sl7 million to cover operations in
the recent flood.
"The Red Cross does not try to
bring people to a point higher
(economically) than (they were) be
fore the flood," said Register, "But
it tries to give them a start."
Register said that the Red Cross
had spent sl3 million so far for in
disaster relief in the wake of the
flood, and was expecting to spend
an additional $4 million.
As of Aug. 3, Register said the
Red Cross had received $6.2 mil
lion for emergency relief.
A check card that actually saves you money, just

to new ideas seven days a week.
