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.

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.

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.
