The weapon, which is marked as “made in Pakistan", is “very dangerous" according to the chief. “It's the kind of weapon found among motorcycle gang mem bers," Potter said, “If you were hit in the side of the throat with it, you'd be dead. He added that the illegal weapon possibly came from a gun and knife show. He said that one concern law enforcement officers have about such shows is that there is no way to trace who bought the weapon and gave it to the juvenile. Disney ‘hires’ Perry band for movie By Torey Jolley Home Journal Staff tnr Perry' High School Marching Band has become a Mickey Mouse outfit lit erally. According to Perry High Band Director Joe Hutche son, “A producer for Disney called me on Oct 25 and asked if we would be inter ested in being in a movie they were shooting, and last Sunday was our first day of shooting.” The movie is titled. “Remember the Titans." It is a true story of the first integrated high school to win a football champi onship. The time is 1971. Hutcheson said. “We are the TC Williams Titan Band It will be a I’G rated movie about whites and blacks working together and suc ceeding. It stars Denzel Washington as the school’s football coach and there arc several other stars too." The band will be featured in three scenes. Their biggest scene will be the half-time show of the big football game. At first. Disney wanted to use all 150 brfnd members in the three scenes. Howev er, Disney said due to changes, they could only use 50 members in two of the scenes and the entire 150- member band in the half-time show scene. This caused Hutcheson Citizens aid in capture of Houston jail escapee From Staff Reports After a sustained manhunt. Neighbor hood Watch volunteers and other alert citizens aided in the capture of an escapee from the Houston County Detention Center on Kings Chapel Road. A convicted murder er, 39-year-old Amos Smith escaped from the jail at around 5 p.m., Oct. 31, and was See CAUGHT. Page 5A immense pain. He his first thought was to cancel the entire thing, but he said, “This really is excit ing. It is an opportunity for these kids.” Hutcheson's dilemma was how to pick only 53 stu dents. “The students voted how the process was going to go. They voted to send the 15 or so sectional leaders and then the remaining names went into a hat.” "It is important that these students know that without the effort of all 150 band members, working hard to be the best band that they can be, that no one would bC doing this movie. Disney wouldn’t have called us because of just 50 band members, said Hutcheson. "It took everyone to get this opportunity." And an opportunity it is. Ac cording to Hutcheson, the Perry High Band members will not be getting a pay check for their efforts, but instead, the band will get a large donation from Disney. “We will receive $6,000 from Disney. Not bad for working three scenes," said Hutcheson, adding, “Disney said we would be in the credits at the end of the movie. I am hoping I can get all 150 names and the school name into the credit lines, not just Perry High See BAND. Page 5A
