Chamber Honors Judith McCune as Outstanding Employee

The Robins Regional Chamber’s Small Business of the Month Committee presented Judith McCune, Dance Instructor for Academy of Dance, with the Outstanding Employee Award for the month of February 2011.  

Judith McCune, affectionately known as Miss Judy, was once the owner and director at the Academy of Dance.  She has mentored many young Warner Robins women throughout her nearly 30 year tenure at the Academy.

“She was not just a teacher,” says current Director, Kim Rowley.  “But she is a mother and now grandmother figure who goes beyond her position of teacher and still supports the Academy with fundraisers, seamstress duties, office work, as backstage manager during shows and as prop maker; refusing to take payment for many of the things she loves to do.”

Sen. Tolleson Reports from the Capitol

Submitted by Jacqueline Harnevious, 13WMAZ Community Web Producer
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011, 10:45am

Written by Senator Tolleson, Submitted by the Senate Press Office:

This week, the legislature took the final step to preserving Georgia’s greatest gift to its students, the HOPE Scholarship. The Senate and House agreed on a final version and have sent the bill to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. Putting the program on a financially sustainable path will ensure the viability of HOPE and the pre-kindergarten program for generations to come. With the first merit-based program of its kind, Georgia is still one of only ten states with an active lottery scholarship program. It’s imperative that we maintain this valuable education tool.

Elderly, Disabled Need Transportation in Warner Robins

Submitted by 13WMAZ Web Staff
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011, 2:01am

Some Houston County seniors say they need transportation, and there are simply not enough affordable options.

One non-profit transit service recently shut down, and another says they are so busy, they are turning riders away.

Some say the issue is affecting many people, but mostly the elderly and handicapped.

Last Thursday, 88-year-old Helen Stephens wasn't supposed to be at home. She had a doctor's appointment on that day, but canceled it. She needed to go to the appointment, but she didn't have a ride.

Stephens said, "Warner Robins is a great place to retire, a great place to live. The only thing they need is transportation for the handicapped and elderly."

Stephens says taxis and privately-owned shuttles can be costly, and with no public transportation system in Houston County, seniors relied on two non-profit van services.
