Lewis
and county and city offi
cials have kept me up-to
date on the many activities
in Perry.
Phone calls have meant
so much. Just hearing
familiar voices has kept me
feeling a part of the Perry
community family.
My new low-vision equip
ment consists of a key
board. computer, magnifi
cation camera, screen
(which can be split), scan
ner, printer, ability to make
disks or hard (paper) copy,
including envelopes, ability
to magnify letters and
numbers up to 6"-8” on the
screen and change back
ground colors from white to
yellow, tan, light blue and
light green.
It can play music or
allow you to play games.
I will obtain another
piece of software for use
with this computer which
will make greeting cards. It
is also capable of handling
e- nail when it is installed
in Perry.
I jokingly say that it is
Tribble
and other guns not used for
hunting must be stopped.
Others say more gun legis
lation and regulation is not
the answer. Neither will
prevent dangerous people
bent on violence from gain
ing access to a weapon.
The answers, they say,
are:
• to leave law abiding gun
owners alone, as criminal
use of guns cannot be regu
lated;
• to encourage parents to
be more involved in their
children’s lives;
• boycotting theaters that
show violent movies;
• to put prayer back in
public schools.
Some are saying that
while reporters, parents,
police, and citizens across
this country, are asking why
this' happened, the answer
is staring us in the face,
but we refuse to see it. We,
the generation which
preaches love and brother
hood, have created a soci
ety totally devoid of the veiy
love we preach.
We’ve created a vacuum,
a moral vacuum that our
children are filling with
hate and violence. Some
say we have ignored the
signs too long. We have
allowed our youth to shave
their heads and salute
posters of Hitler. We brush
Congratulations,
Darryl Albritton,
newly appointed Principal
to Kings Chapel Elementary School.
You are a deserving and caring human being
and we are so very proud of you.

capable of doing everything
except prepare breakfast
for me.
In addition to this
renewed connection with
friends and family. I have
enlisted the help of mater
nal and paternal cousins in
furnishing me with copies
of their personal history
which I will edit, and pre
pare final copy for consoli
dation and publication. I
have thoroughly enjoyed
reading their histories and
in preparing my own histo
ry. Time flies when you are
having fun! The first copies
will be printed as Gaines
and Lewis Family Histories.
These activities have
helped me to pass the time
profitably while trying to
mend my body, damaged
by my fall.
Also, this newspaper has
done a great job of covering
the news in south Houston
County. I can hardly
believe that so many
changes have been made
since 1 have been with my
sister in Milledgeville.

their black clothes and
dark music off as freedom
of expression without ques
tioning what it is they are
trying to express.
As citizens we should
participate in career days
at school, be a Big
Brother/Sister, mentor the
youth you hire in your
business, teaching them
responsibility and ethics.
Finally, some citizens are
saying our children con
sume a steady diet of vio
lence from the time they
first sit in front of a televi
sion. They learn that in our
society conflict is resolved
with superior firepower.
The entertainment
industry seems to believe
that firearm violence is just
another form of entertain
ment. They glamorize it and
raakfcrit seem normal;
Perhaps there is a bit of
truth that can be taken
from what each of our citi
zens across this nation is
saying. Perhaps those in
positions of leadership will
evaluate the truths that
come from these state
ments and formulate a plan
that will help to curb inci
dents such as the one at
Columbine High School.
Meanwhile, as we look
back on the terrible event,
we can truly say, what a
tragic day.

Our brother, Jimmy
Lewis, a former resident of
Perry and now lives in
Pawley's Island, S.C. will

During the past three
weeks, we've conducted a
subscription campaign.
More than 500 households
in the county have signed
on, and subscribed. We
welcome these readers, and
thank them for their confi

Those subscriptions will
result in a healthy contri
bution to the Houston
County Habitat for
Humanity organization. A
portion of each subscrip
tion sold during the drive
will be given to Habitat.
Additionally, we’ve added
a couple of new staff mem
bers I want to introduce.

graduate of Middle Georgia
Tech. She's an experienced
person in retail, and is a

1 have missed all of you
and hope to be one of you
soon.
My best regards to Editor
Jj Johnson and staff of the

to the many readers who

She’s packing her suit
case for a trip to Chicago
for a chance at a national
title.
Ellen has a wonderful
understanding of merchan
dising and advertising.
She’s here to help our mer
chants promote their busi
nesses. I believe they’ll find
her helpful and reliable in
her work.
Also joining the staff is
an old friend. Torey Jolley
worked in the newsroom
with me 10 years ago. After
getting her feet wet in this
business, Torey decided to
return to school and finish
her undergraduate degree
in English at Mercer.
She’s been working in
another field for the past
five years, and when she
had an opportunity to
return to the newspaper
business, she jumped at
the opportunity.
I'm delighted to have
Torey back on our team.
She will be with us in just a
few days and will be work
ing with the education and
city beats. Have a news
suggestion? Give her a call.
Speaking for all of the
wonderful HHJ team mem
bers with which I have been
blessed, I thank you for
your continued support in
the Home Journal, your old
reliable newspaper.
