Weyerhaueser Donates to Recreation Program
Weyerhaeuser presented a check last week to city employees for S4OO. The
money will go toward paying for a newly-constructed sand volleyball court at
Rozar Park. Shown presenting the check to Mayor Jim Worrall is Weyerhaeuser's
public affairs assistant Janet McElmurray. Looking on are Mayor Pro-Tern Charles
Lewis, and director of the Recreation Department Ben Hamrick. Worrall
commended Weyerhaeuser for their funds: "The continuing support over the
years by the Flint River plant to enhance recreation opportunities in the Perry
area is greatly appreciated. Weyerhaeuser is truly a good citizen." The mayor said
he invites the community to visit the park to participate in the sport. (Times-

a state-mandated breakfast program
by the start of the 1995-96 school

require all state school systems to
offer free breakfasts to those
schools with 25 percent or more on
the free or reduced-price lunch
schedule.
The program targets those
students in grades K-8, and is
funded strictly by the federal
government.
In 1993, Houston County
Schools’ overall free or reduced
lunch recipients accounted for 35
percent of those students visiting
the lunchroom.
All Perry schools are currently
in the program, having earlier
voluntarily agreed to offer the
morning meals.
Not all Warner Robins' schools,
however, are included in the
program and are currently being
phased into die plan.
"It doesn’t matter if someone's
driving a Mercedes or a Pinto, that
doesn't necessarily mean someone
is getting breakfast at home,"
Johnson said. "A child without
breakfast can not learn on an empty
stomach."
One of the most anticipated
plans additionally being
implemented into Houston County
schools, said Johnson, is one that
will allow students to satisfy lunch
payments via computers.
Johnson said that educators are
seeing "a big drop off of those
students eligible for free or reduced
lunches when reaching the high
school level.
The reason for the decline,
Johnson believes, stems from the
fact that by age 14 students are "shy
or embarrassed" to acknowledge any
breakfast or lunch reduction in front
of classmates.
The computer system would
allow students to prepay, either by
cash or federal approval, and receive
a card with their own personal
number.
Currently, three Houston
County schools- Perry High, Perry
Middle and Warner Robins High
School- are assigned to the
computer plan on an experimental
basis.
"It's working out really well,"
Johnson said.

At Weyerhaeuser, we’ve been
growing and caring for trees
an endlessly renewable natural
resource since the beginning
of the century.
Today, trees we planted 30 to
50 years ago provide thousands
of products, from books to
building materials, that benefit
us all. Trees we plant this year
will benefit your children and
grandchildren.
Over the years, we’ve learned
a lot about growing strong,
vigorous trees, and about
caring for the environment.
We plan every step carefully
when we harvest our trees. We
build and maintain forest roads
properly. We use harvest
techniques that protect forest
soils and always have 97% of
our land growing new trees.
We leave natural vegetation
along streams to protect water
quality and to provide a diverse
habitat for wildlife.
And after harvest we promptly
replant our lands, to begin once
more the endless cycle of forest
renewal and growth.
All this adds up to responsible
forestry. And when you look at
our green, growing forests, it
shows.
A
Weyerhaeuser
