one of the few things the
county can use to oppose
annexations.
County Administrator
Steve Engle said the requests
that were denied will go to
the land dispute process
between the city and the
county.
In other business:
• The upcoming July 18
primary election will cost
Houston County about
$21,487.
It is less than others and
below the average of about
$25,000 the county commis
sioners noted when approved
the expenditure on Tuesday.
Commissioner Gail Robinson
said the cost is for poll work
ers to operate the polling
places.
“We’ll probably see
another one of there,”
said Commissioner Tom
McMichael. “I expect to see
run-offs in several races
including agriculture com
missioners and secretary of
sate, since so many are run
ning.”
• The commissioners
also voted to give county
employees July 3 off with
pay, “to reward our out
standing employees,” said
Walker. “Several jurisdic
tions in middle Georgia are
taking it as an energy day.
I think Warner Robins and
Centerville are off.”
Sanders the action is a
reward for dedicated service.
I hope our employees enjoy
themselves and are safe.”
• The commissioners also
paid the final bills for fiscal
year 2006, which ends Friday.
Michael said the $684,958.08
in bills is “a lot of mop up for
anything pending.”

THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
By KRISTY WARREN
HHJ staff writer
A large group of Perry
kids gathered Tuesday for a
special presentation by per
formers Caroline Figiel and
Danny Jones.
The duo, from Atlanta,
travels across the U.S. with
the mission of entertaining
and educating children and
teachers with their origi
nal songs, skits and stories
at libraries, schools and
churches.
This was the first time
the couple who, who also
visited Warner Robins and
Centerville, took their per
formance to Perry.
Their accomplishments in
music and education have
them recognized by the
National Music Curriculum
and the National Counseling
Curriculum.
The School Library
Journal in turn has written
their program up as “top
notch.” Figiel has a degree
in Theater with a Masters
in Education, while Jones
maintains a background of
music.
Tuesday’s theme was
“character.” Songs such as
“Stand up For Yourself,”
“Don’t Tease,” and “The
Gimmies” were sung by
Figiel with the accompani
ment of pre-recorded music
and Jones on the guitar.
Sign language and dance
were also incorporated into
the show, getting the chil
dren up and involved with
the performance.
For more entertainment
from them or how to book
them for an event, visit their
website at www.kidsvalue
pack.com.
This was just one of many
“exciting” events staff mem
bers of the Perry Library
said they have slated for the
summer.
Call Children’s Program
Specialist, Regina Ray at
987-3050 for more details.
