THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
MOLONY
From page 1A
Daily Sun founder Foy S.
Evans remembers Molony
as an outstanding sports
writer.
“He wrote very populur
sports columns almost every
day," he said. “They were
read by every sports fan in
the Warner Robins area, and
covered recreation sports
too.”
Evans conceded Molony’s
sportswriting was the back
bone of the newspaper at
that time.
Molony’s knowledge on
every sports activity and the
involvement of the commu
nity led him to be admired
through his work and as a
person, Evans said.
“He seemed to be the type
of person who loved every
body and everybody seemed
to love Joe,” he said. “He
was enthusiastic about
everything he was involved
in and he always seemed to
be involved in everything.
He was an asset not only to
the newspaper but for the
past 40 years he was an
asset to the city of Warner
Robins.”
Throughout his communi
ty interactions, Molony was
deeply involved in numer
ous Lions clubs in Houston
County for over 20 years.
He was a former governor
for Lions District 18-E and
currently held the newspa
per editor position for the
Multiple Districts 18, which
blankets the state of
Georgia.

helps support surge

ROBINS AIR FORCE
BASE - Robins’ strategic air
lift directorate workers are
supporting a massive, joint
service, multi-national oper
ation to deploy and re-deploy
nearly a quarter-million U.S.
troops and more than 1 mil
lion tons of equipment.
The surge for strategic air
lift including people and
parts, heralded as the largest
equipment and troop move
ment since World War 11, is
expected to be completed
later this month.
A 1 Fatkin, strategic airlift
and C-5 System Program
Office deputy director here,
said their efforts at making
sure C-5 aircraft are ready
for duty are going well.
Proactive from the start,
directorate experts took a
number of actions to support
the surge including a plan for
organizing a Strategic Airlift
Control Center.
The SACC was to serve as
the nerve center of this surge
operation, providing a parts
action team to quickly react
to Air Mobility Command
needs 24-hours-a-day, seven
days-a-week.
Fatkin said, after further
contact with AMC, it was
decided that rather than
standing up the 24-hour-a
--day operation, they would
instead provide the more
needed expedited weekend
support requested.
“We did give them a 24
hour-a-day point of contact,
but it really hasn’t been used
as much as we would have
thought,” he said.
close Lions buddy Hank
Barks said Molony’s interest
in international service
clubs was indicative of the
type of person he was.
“The biggest thing about
Joe was that he attended all
the Lions functions,” Barks
said. “He always had a cam
era in hand and wrote arti
cles for the ... newsletter.”
Barks said Molony was
notorious for missing the
first shot while forgetting to
either take of the lens cap
off of the camera or turn on
the camera.
“He loved writing and was
quite an individual in his
own way," Barks said. “He
was proud of his Charleston,
South Carolina, heritage
and many times if he talked
fast it was apparent he was
a true South Carolinian.”
William Craig, council
chairperson for Multiple
District 18 Lions of Georgia,
said Molony was an ongoing
supporter of Lions’ charities
and fundraising activities.
“He was someone inter
ested and concerned about
helping others who were
less fortunate than himself,”
Craig said. “Joe Molony w r as
certainly willing to assist
people in any way possible
he could and give them any
thing that would enable
them to accomplish their
goals.”
Like many Houston
Countians, Skip Korson said
she will always keep Molony
in her heart.
“He was a very special
person," Korson said.

could interview him.
The suspect is described

about 5 feet 6 inches in
height, weighing about 145-
apparently burglarized the
residence when they stole
the SUV
Deputies found a TV set
taken from the Alpharetta
home in the back of the
vehicle.
The homeowners were out
of town at the time of the
burglary, he said.
The deputy director said as
far as surging, the direc
torate was in this mode even
before the request came from
AMC, and is continuing to do
so while making sure no
other opportunities are
missed.
“When you start a surge
there are two choices,” he
said. “One of those is you can
stop all non-essential main
tenance to meet the request
as we did during Desert
Storm. When you make that
choice, what happens after
you finish the surge is you
end up with a lot of extra
maintenance you have to do
to catch up.”
The second approach, and
the he said was chosen, is to
maintain its regular work
load, while maximizing air
craft availability so there is
no backlog at the end.
"We’ve tried to maintain
program depot maintenance
inputs and regular mainte
nance schedules in the field
and still maximize aircraft
availability by improved
parts support and focus on
priority airplanes,” he said.
The proof this equation
works is in the pudding, and
Fatkin said five aircraft
placed in short-term status
earlier this year being
returned to their home sta
tions shows that.
More evidence is in the
favorable remarks from end
users such as experts at
Travis Air Force Base, Calif.,
who recently reported no
mission incapable supply
rates on any of their aircraft
for a 24-hour period.
PERRY
From page 1A
A representative will be
sent around to area busi
nesses to measure the size of
traps and take samples of
their contents. Based on size
and grease levels, a schedule
of cleaning will be estab
lished.
So, little sandwich shops
that hardly discharge any
grease might need only
annual cleaning for their
traps, while chicken-frying
operations could be sched
uled for quarterly pumping.
The surveying method
settles an issue of fairness
that kept the council from
enacting an ordinance earli
er this year. Original drafts
called for regular cleanings
of all businesses and did not
take size into account.
Under the new plan, the
council is hopeful both costs
and clogs can be kept to a
minimum, and the results
will flow smoothly for all.
In other business, the
council:
