Even without the Wonderland
in Lights, there are plenty of dec
orations around town for anyone
who enjoys holiday cheer.
As a service to our readers, the
Houston Times-Journal asked
readers call in and name houses,
businesses and subdivisions that
went all out to help spread the
Christmas spirit this season.
Once again, merchants in
downtown Perry have lit up
Carroll Street in honor of the hol
idays. From the County
Courthouse to the post office, dri
vers can enjoy the scenery of
sparkling white lights.
Other businesses have joined
the bandwagon this year as well
as hundreds of homes.
There are a few homes espe
cially worthy of seeing this year,
especially 528 Ansley St. as Bob
Harris once again lights his house
with sparkling detail.

Pinewood Court is located off
Tucker Road.
Jim Worrall, the mayor of
Perry, invites everyone to check
out his decorated house at 1043
Greenwood Drive.
Other streets decked out for
Christmas include: Rodgers
Street, Ross Street. Sandefur
Road, Shane Circle, Elizabeth
Avenue. Lucille Avenue Jackson
Street and Oldfield Lane.
This year, entire subdivisions
even went so far as to decorate for
the holidays. These subdivisions
include: Holly Hills, Brendale,
Devondwood, and Lea Glen.
One of the most popular homes
this year among readers was 206
Habersham Drive, which is the
residence of John and Alice
Sundquist. Another home to see
this year appears to be located on
the corner of Mt. Zion and
Houston Lake Road.

Police seek person who robbed Dairy Queen Dec. 16

Times-Journal Staff
Perry Police are looking for a
suspect who robbed the owner of
the local Dairy Queen located
along Courtney Hodges
Boulevard as he locked up the
business the evening of Dec. 16.
According to Capt. Mickey
Barfield, head of the detective
division, the 60-year-old owner
came out of the store and was
“closing up” when a black male
allegedly approached him and
told him to give the perpetrator
money.
Search for recreation
leader continues

If Perry City Manager Skip
Nalley has his way, a new recre
ation director should be getting
into the swing of things soon after
the New Year.
Nalley said he has conducted
four interviews recently regarding
the position since Tom Dominey
resigned Oct. 25.
Dominey cited personal rea
sons for the resignation. He had
headed the department since Feb.
1, 1995.
The city has received about a
dozen applications for the job,
Nalley added.
“I would like to have a recom
mendation for council by the first
of the year,” said Nalley. “This is a
very important position for us to
fill and we need someone with a lot
of experience in recreation to help
define what road we are going to
take in Perry (recreation).”
The ideal person to fill the
position will be able to “get along
with the public, city council and
recreation committee,” according
to the city manager.
City council members will also
have information brought before
them in the near future regarding
the purchase of a new fire truck.
Fire Chief Gary Hamlin has
been gathering information for
council to peruse. The proposed
75-foot quint truck is estimated to
cost around $500,000.
The truck will have a ladder
that will enable firefighters to bat
tle blazes in multiple story build
ings above the flames.
The store owner was holding a
bag containing the business
deposit money at the time.
The perpetrator then knocked
the owner to the ground, took the
bag and ran into an area behind
the Dairy Queen, Barfield said.
Detectives were called to the
scene to assist patrol officers with
a search for the subject. That
search was ongoing at press time.
Meanwhile, Perry authorities
have charged a Warner Robins
man with numerous drug offenses.
