It really 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 The church is located at 1600 Main Street. The program is for children ages 2 months to 5 years.

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.

(Photo by Veto Roley) 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.
