Letters To The Editor
Jail Food Issue
Dear Editor,
I would like to commend Sheriff McConnell
and Commissioner Powell for brinflng in and
saving Chattooga County money. However, I
can not for the fife of me understand what the
problem is! Seems to me that both McConnell
and Powell are making the county money, or
should I say addin%lto the income of the coun
ty. McConnell by ousini the inmates from
other counties and Powell by preparing the in
mates food,
Another thing, what does it matter if they
have two or 20 prisoners in jail? Wouldn't those
two })risoners still have to have water, lights,
heat/ac and etc.? So what's the problem? If
Sheriff McConnell can house these inmates and
Wrap Up By Superintendent
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank you and The Summer
ville News very much for your cooperation in
working with the Chattooga County School
System during this school year. You have given
the system excellent coverage in regard to
board meetings, student accfiaim ans school
news in generfi which is very much appreciated
by everyone in the system.
I would also like to take this opportunity to
express my appreciation to all the teachers and
personnel whoF}’:ave helped to make the 1985-86
school year a profitable and successful year in
education.
I especially want to commend the teachers
who are retirilzf at the end of this school fyear
for an outstanding career in the teaching field.
The three teachers retiring at Chattooga High
School are Mrs. Sarah Coulliette, Mrs. Irene
Ratliff and Mrs. Betty Stephenson. These
teachers have long been an institution at Chat
tooga High and will certainly be missed when
school resumes in the late summer.
Miss Blanche Toles is retiring from Menlo
Elementary with 50 years of teaching ex
perience. 'lyhis is an outstanding recordß of a
teacher's allegiance to the students in our coun
ty and I commend Miss Toles for her
Family Tree Info
Dear Editor,
My family tree research on my Bowman
family has brought me to Chattooga County
Georgia. My family were on the federal census
there for the years 1840-50-60-70. The 1880 and
1900 censues have not yet been checked. I was
wondering if it would be 'l%?SSible to place a
query in {'our newspaper? This is the size query
I would like to have published. L :
“Desire information on the James M. and
Ruth BOWMAN family who lived in the Dirt
town area of Chattooga County from 1840 un
til 1870 and later. James was born 1805 in S. C.
His wife, Ruth, was also born in South Carolina
in 1809. They had 12 children: (1) John born
1828 S. C. married Lowania ‘‘Jane" Rudgo23

Since so much confusion is in the minds of the people of Chattooga
County who has nothing whatsoever to do toward the operation of the jail
and the food thereof, | do not feel that we should be aggravated with lies
that have been printed concerning the food that we have been serving.
We have found out that this trouble has been coming from sources that
you might well know who it is. | would like to state to the General Public
in the beginning that there will be several rules and regulations made
concerning the food, who eats the food and who pays for the food,
regardless of who might be the lucky bidder.
We have been furnishing ample and staple food for the inmates and in
tend to do so whether we intend to keep furnishing the food or let the
bids out.
There must be two meals a day furnished, containing at least 3100
calories per pay. This food must be in sealed compartment containers.
We reserve the right to accept or reject any bids whatsoever. These bids
will be opened June 17th at 10 A. M. and the winning bid will be announc
ed as soon as possible.
Commissioner, Chattooga County
the count.{. get dpaid for it I for one am all for
it! But, where does this money go? Does it fio
into the %aneral fund or is it returned to the
Sheriff's Department for the operations?
Another question? Why l?a[.\: five ladies
$60,000 a year to sit and watch the paint flake
when we can pay Floyd County a small amount
to house the females?
Seems to me Sheriff McConnell is trying to
do the right thing but, someone always seems
to find somethjnfi wrong. Commissioner Powell
seems to be bac iw off from the food service
a little too quick. Why? Was it because of the
inmates letter?
Respectfully,
Name Withheld Upon Request
perseverance and the faithful years she has
given to the Chattooga Count S‘;hool System.
At North Summerville lg'lementary Mrs.
Ruth Hoskins is retiring after 35 years of
teaching. I have had the opportunity of work
infi closer with Mrs, Hoskins than any of the
others while serving as Principal of North Sum
merville and I commend Mrs. Hoskins as the
epitome of the teaching profession, faithful,
concerned, courteous, cooperative and a sincere
disciplinarian. Mrs. Hoskins deserves the com
munity’s commendation for long and faithful
service.
Mrs. Nona Snow retired as lunchroom
manager from Lye;}iy Elementary School, she
will afiso be missed by teachers, staff and
students and will certainly constitute a loss to
the Food Service Degartment.
I hope these teachers and employees have
the opportunity to rest, travel and pursue in
terest which until now they have had to set
aside for lack of leisure time. Each one has had
a long and distiniuished career in the educa
tion field and certdinly deserve the acclaim and
appreciation of the school system and the
community.
Sincerely,
Don Hayes
