The request brought up a

TCHS fans watched the Cougoys’ last home game of the sessen Friday
night as the Cougs took their worst defeat of the year. Beaten by a larger,
more experienced team from Dennison, the Cougars did not lack effort.

Burglary—Colony police
said someone entered the
front door of a home in
the 7300 block of Augusta
Street the night of Nov.
1 and took a Mitsubishi
monitor, a VCR and a
tuner. Loss was $2,695.
Halloween was different this year.
Friday I went to the grocery store to get
ready for the little rascals and bought an
assortment of candy. Heck, I knew they
would pay my home a visit. They hadn’t
missed in years whether my porch light
was turned on or not, but this year there
wasn’t one knock at the door. Not one
trick-or-treater showed up, and I kind of
missed ’em.
Trick-or-treat has been discouraged
several years since more and more
dangerous objects have shown up in candy.
Adults have encouraged organized Hal-
loween parties instead. Also, I heard on
the radio a couple of days before Hall-
loween that youngsters faced more of a
threat than sharp objects in candy. An
X-ray could show that, and some hospitals
offered that service. However, an X-ray
couldn’t show poison, so it remained a
threat in 1986. It looks like trick-or-treat-
ing is going the way of the Model-T Ford.
However, the holiday for toddlers did
start me thinking. When did trick-or-treat
begin? In the good ole days when I was a

ball right at the Cougar
defense. QB Reggie Perry
connected with wide re-
ceiver Gary Wilson on a 25-
yard TD pass for the Yel-
lowjackets’ first score. The
point after was good and
Dennison led 7-0 early in
the first quarter.
Madden picked up his
first TD of the evening on a
one-yard run, capping a
four-play drive by the Yel-
lowjackets. The extra point
gave Dennison a 14-point
lead with 5:30 remaining in
the quarter. The Cougars
fumbled in the end zone on
their next possession and
big Scott DeFratus recover-
ed the ball for Dennison.
With the extra point good,
the spread quickly became
21 points. Madden leaped
over the Cougar line just
called for a joint public , j

breaking the plane of the
end zone for the Jackets’
final score of the half.
Perry’s two-point conver-
sion pass to HB Madden
was also good and the
Dennison lead increased to
29 points. The Cougars
managed to pick up a
couple of first downs late in
the second quarter as the
offense started to gel.
Shannon Trimble got the
Cougars initial first down
on a three-yard run up the
middle. Next, Ricky Love
broke outside for a seven-
yard gain and Derron Gil-
lum scratched for another
two yards. On fourth and
inches, the Cougars took a
chance and Trimble picked
up the necessary yardage

Marshall apologized for his
outburst, then explained
that time was becoming
essential because he ex-
pects to have the library
facility completed for move-
in by Dec. 15, but that car-
peting should have already
been ordered to make that
deadline.
Design consultant Glen
Taylor said his firm, Bran-
ch-Taylor Associates, Inc.,
could work with the archi-
tects to speed up the color
selection and it would not
hinder his work.
The episode gave newly
sworn councilman Steve
Glazener a baptism of fire.
He had taken the oath
filling Place 4 only few
minutes before. ' He re-
places Amick who was ap-
pointed mayor to fill out
Larry Sample’s term. Sam-
ple resigned recently.

The Dennison Yellow-
jackets kept their playoff
hopes alive soundly defeat-
ing the Colony Cougars
57-7 in the Cougs’ last
home game of the season.
Dennison’s win, coupled
with Boswell’s upset over
Gainesville, gave the Yel-
lowjackets renewed hopes
for a playoff berth in the
District 5-4A race. Senior
tailback Curtis Madden
racked up 110 yards against
the undersized Colony de-
fense, who despite the final
score, played hard against
the much more experienced
Dennison offense.
Dennison got their run-
ning game established ear-
ly, utilizing backs Madden

lad there was no such thing. It was all
trick. A group—perhaps gang is a better
word—would get together, and we would
start our rounds after dark. It was an
unwise adult who didn’t put his porch
swing under lock and key, take in the
garden hose and lawn furniture and any
other thing that could be moved. The town
road grader was one of our favorite targets.
It was no problem for a gang of 12 to push
it several blocks where it would end up in a
front yard.
We could unhook a squeaky porch swing
like a bunch of commandos with someone
in the home only 10 feet away. Swings and
garden hose found their way high on
telephone poles. Lawn furniture was
switched from one yard to another. Next
morning adults began searching the neigh-
borhood for missing objects. Most adults
got a kick out of the routine, for a few years
earlier they too had climbed telephone
poles. Youngsters enjoyed the thrill of
Halloween, too, unless we got caught.

Sparks flew briefly dur-
ing Monday’s City Council
meeting as Councilman
Marlene Poole and Marcon
Construction, Inc. presi-
det Leon Marshall tangled
verbally over carpeting in
the new municipal com-
plex.
The tiff was set off by
discussion of a change or-
der involving a cost allow-
ance for carpeting. Coun-
cilmen questioned wording
of the change which involv-
ed carpet color, noting that
city representatives have
not seen colors from which
to choose.
The matter was further
complicated by the fact that
the council had just accept-
ed a proposal from an
interior space design firm
for the interior designing.
This led Marshall to say

that he wanted the entire
carpet matter dropped, that
he was now expected to
answer to three different
entities on the same matter
and he considered that un-
acceptable.
John Firestone, an archi-
tect of the complex, said
that color specification was
included in his firm’s con-
tract. Poole replied, “We
are buying a pig in a poke.
I’m tired of Mr. Marshall
coming in here and wanting
things done his way right
now. I’m tired of him
trying to intimidate this
council and I won’t have
it.”
Mayor Don Amick listen-
ed to the exchange, then
commented, “FRS (the ar-
chitect) designs buildings
for a living. I’m willing to
trust their judgement.”
When the dust settled,
Commission. A recent
zoning change approved by
the council had failed to
indicate that the original
zoning had been for both
multi: and single-family
dwellings. City attorney
John Boyle said the process
should be repeated, includ-
ing both original zonings.
Fox & Jacobs had request-
ed the change to Office 1.
The hearing was conducted
briefly, with no comments
presented. The zoning was
approved in a subsequent
agenda item.
A separate hearing was
held on an application by
National Convenience Stor-
es for a specific use permit
to sell beer and wine for off-
premises consumption from
a proposed Stop ’N Go
market at South Colony
Boulevard and Paige Road.

Dennison well in control
and leading 29-0.
The Yellowjackets wast-
ed little time increasing
their lead as the second
half got under way. The
Courgars, working from in-
side their own 10-yard line
fumbled the ball on a pitch-
out and Dennison receover-
ed on the one-yard line.
Madden ran in untouched
for his third TD of the even-
ing, the extra point attempt
was good and Dennison led
36-0. The Cougars started
from the 21 as Derron
Gillum made a nice runback
on the kickoff. Gillum
picked up a first down on a
pitch to the right side of the
line as the Cougars’ offense
