March of Dimes:
Saving Babies
Together *
If you’ve had a baby, you’ve
been touched by the March of
Dimes and its campaign for
healthier babies. On Saturday,
September 16th, the March of
Dimes will sponsor its annual
Walk America in Perry. Walkers
from teams including Perry Hos
pital, The Bank of Perry, CB & T
Bank, Northrop, Balvaunuca
Club, Riverwood, The Inside
Scoop and the City of Perry will
be participating in this walk to
raise over $13,000 for the March
of Dimes.
Monies raised from
Walk America fund important re
search projects for the March of
Dimes, and also benefit our own
community. “The March of
Dimes plays an instrumental role
here in Perry,” said Mary Jane
Kinnas, Marketing Director of
Houston Healthcare Complex.
“Perry Hospital has received sev
eral grants from the March of
Dimes to purchase educational
materials for expectant and new
parents regarding healthy preg
nancies and newborn care.”
Last year, Houston Healthcare
Complex was awarded a 15-pas
senger transportation van from
the March of Dimes. This van
provides transportation services
for expectant mothers and new
mothers with infants under the
age of one to doctor’s appoint
ments and other non-emergency
medical appointments.
“Having the van has been ben
eficial to our new moms and
moms-to-be who do not have
transportation means, so that
they can get to their doctor’s of
fice and receive prenatal care
that is so important for ensuring
a healthy pregnancy and a
healthy baby,” added Lyliam Fox,
RN, a perinatal case manager
with Perry Hospital’s Family Be
ginnings Maternity Center.
This year’s Walk America will
begin at the Courthouse in down
town Perry. Organized by a com
mittee of local volunteers chaired
by Sue Fleming and Hattie
Fleming of The Bank of Perry,
this year’s event is expected to
include over 150 walkers.
The Walk America will feature
refreshments, entertainment
and more. For more information,
call the March of Dimes office at
743-9165.

Convicted dealer
denied parole
HOUSTON COUNTY The
State Board of Pardons and Pa
roles has denied parole to Ronald
Lee Davis, 36, who is serving a
life sentence for the sale of co
caine in 1994.
Davis was arrested when he
sold a rock of cocaine to an un
dercover drug task force agent.
The drugs were turned over to a
Perry police officer who in turn
arrested Davis. Davis was iden
tified by the drug agent. He was
convicted in February of 1994 of
Violating the Georgia Controlled
Substance Act, Sale/Distribution
of Cocaine and sentenced to life
in prison in Houston County Su
perior Court.
According to Parole Board
Chairman Walter Ray, parole was
denied due to the nature of the
and circumstances of the offense.
“Our society will never be free
of crime until we get rid of drug
dealers like Davis. It is because
of men like him that we have a
crack epidemic in this country.”
Davis will not be reviewed for
parole again until June 2002. He
is currently serving his life sen
tence at Valdosta State Prison in
Valdosta, GA.
Bids for exhibit
building on hold
PERRY Bid taking for the
construction of a new exhibit
building at the Georgia National
Fairgrounds and Agricenter will
be put on hold while members of
the Georgia Agricultural Exposi
tion Authority discuss price esti
mates with an architectural firm,
Tribble and Richardson.
According to project building
committee Chairman Felton
Jenkins, T&R was recently in
formed by a consulting firm that
a previous cost estimate for the
project would run about $3 mil
lion over the budgeted amount of
about $7.9 million due to a mis
calculation of the amount of steel
needed.
According to figures, about
$400,000 has been paid so far in
architectural fees.
Authority member Mary
Edenfield suggested the president
of T&R, Elmo Richardson, meet
with the Board. “We are no fur
ther than we were one and one
half years ago except we have a
design we can’t afford to build,”
commented Edenfield.
State legislators were able to get
the budgeted amount appropri
ated for the project a couple of
years ago.
Earlier this year, T&R was in
structed to rebid the project for a
second time after a number of bids
came in with too high numbers.
When complete, the building
would include 45,000 sq. feet of
exhibit space and two conference
rooms, among other features.
