ground forces through communica
tions.”
To become airborne operations tech
nicians, Bloomberg and Leece each
went through a year of technical and
survival training. Both have flown
numerous missions that require men
tal and physical stamina needed to
endure the long hours in each sortie.
They even sit next to each other on the
aircraft, each sharing reasons why
they chose such a demanding job.
“When the Air National Guard came
on board with the (Joint STARS) pro
gram, I had an opportunity to
retrain,” said Bloomberg, who spent
eight years on active duty as a
weapons loader for F-15 Eagles and B
-1B Lancers. “I liked the idea of being
directly involved with the fight on the
ground.”
Leece’s reasons for joining the Joint
STARS team were just as personal.
“Since I can’t be involved with
ground combat directly, I thought
being airborne would be interesting
mentally. (It would be) challenging
and directly assist the guys on the
ground who risk their lives daily,” she
said.
The two are a fraction of the 22 peo
ple needed on each mission. The crew
includes not only active-duty and
Guard airmen, but also soldiers.
“We’re somewhat of a support sys
tem to each other by backing up one
another ... helping to pick out targets
in each other’s area when the other
one is busy performing another task,”
Bloomberg said. “It’s definitely a team
effort up here. We all work together.”

In other business, the city
is in the process of purchas
ing land to extend State
Street. City Manager Lee
Gilmore said issues are still
being worked out with the
owner of the land and more
information will be given in
the next meeting.
The council held the first
reading of an ordinance that
amends the Perry Land
Development Ordinance
regarding signs.
The ordinance says signs
must be maintained and will
be removed if the sign is
abandoned or no longer
advertises a business or
product, and will be
removed in 30 days after
written notification.
The ordinance also says
that outdoor advertising
signs may be used for 15
years if it is in good condi
tion, not structurally
altered, and not be re-estab
lished if damages cost more
than 50 percent of the cost
of the structure.
Also at the meeting:
•The city has begun plan
ning for the Dogwood
Festival. The Perry Area
Chamber of Commerce
requested that police barri
cades be placed at
Commerce and Washington
streets, Commerce and
Meeting streets, Carroll and
Meeting streets, Washington
and Main streets, and
Carroll and Ball streets. The
festival is planned for April
9-10.
Perry Police Chief George
Potter said the only question
left is manpower, and the
additional cost of overtime
of two officers at 40 hours
for the entire weekend. A
decision will be made in the
People Pleasing!
