Quail Run Elementary School students are looking forward to some special guest readers next week. 

Northside High School football players will read to the children on Friday, Feb. 4, at 9 a.m. 

This is the fifth year in a row the players have read to Quail Run students, a Houston County Board of Education news release says.  

First grade teacher Jan Moore arranges the annual activity. 

Her son, Tommy, played for the Northside Eagles. 

“The players represent excellent role models for our children.  The players not only read to the kids, but they talk to them about the importance of working hard and trying your best in school.”

Northside High players and Quail Run Elementary children from last year’s reading session are pictured. 

Quail Run Elementary is located at 250 Smithville Church Road in Warner Robins. 

Flint Energies is searching for 14,000 members that are owed capital credit refunds. 

Capital credits are somewhat similar to the dividends paid to shareholders of investor-owned utilities except the cooperative’s shareholders are also the member-consumers that it serves. 

The “dividends” (capital credits) are distributed to Flint’s member-consumers, a Flint Energies news release says.

In the fall of each year, Flint Energies refunds capital credits.  Current active members due a refund received a credit on their Flint bill.  Members that no longer get their electric service from Flint are mailed a check.  Flint most recently refunded capital credits for the years 1981-1982 and half of 1983.

Due to the transient nature of Flint’s membership base, many former members have moved away from Flint’s service area without leaving a forwarding address.
