Mayor Danny Wyatt also
has issued a statement correc
ting a misunderstanding by
some residents that the city
was charging fees for fire pro
tection in its monthly water
bills.
Brett Eugene Rudeseal was
third place winner at Trion

sent at the banquet.
The contest was open to all

CLARIFY
“I want to clarify that we
are not charging a fire protec
tion fee,"” Wyatt said Monday.
“*Several residents have called
about the fee added onto the
water bill, which is for garbage
pickup service, not fire protec
tion. A long time ago, we
charged a $2 fee for garbage
collection outside of the city.
We did away with the separate
fee some time ago and added $2
to each water bill. Now the ci
ty pays for garbage collection
for all city residents. We have
never charged a fee for fire pro
tection.”
However, the Lyerly Fire
Department does charge a ser
vice fee when it responds to a
fire outside the city limits.
Wyatt emphasized that this fee
I 8 to be paid by the
homeowner's insurance com
pandy and is not meant to be
paid by an individual.
PROMISED HELP
Wyatt next Tuesday will
report details of a recent
meeting with Chattooga Coun
ty Commissioner Harry
Powell. During the meeting,
Powell promised to help Lyer
ly pay K)r its new fire tanker,
Wyatt said. Powell also pledg
ed financial assistance to all
volunteer fire departments in
the county, except Summer
ville.
Mayor Wyatt has received
two bids on a chassis for the
department's new fire tanker.
The tanker will be leased from
the Georgia Forestrf' Service if
the Lyerly Council approves
Wyatt's recommendation next
Tuesday. Wyatt met with

fines of up to SIO,OOO and up
to two years in prison.
The Georgia Department of
Natural Resources has {)ro
grams underway to repopulate
Georgia with both bald and
§olden ea§les. Golden eagles,
rom surplus western popula
tions, are being reared and
released near Chattooga Coun
ty in Northwest Georgia and
bald eagles from a U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Breeding
Program, are reared and releas
ed in the coastal area. To date,
17 %olden eagles and 24 bald
eagles have been released.
Georgia also has four active
bald eagle nests. It is the goal
of these programs to release
these birgs so that they will
establish breeding populations
in Georgia and the
southeastern United States.
Both bald and golden eagles
have been killed illegally caus
ing significant setbacks to the
program. The Atlanta
Audubon Society is offering
the reward to discourage this
lawlessness.
Information about the kill
ing of any eagle in Georgia
should be reported to any Con
servation Ranger. The Depart
ment of Natural Resources
maintains a 24-hour toll-free
number for reporting viola
tions of the game and Esh laws

perating
There apparently were no
new developments with the
Chattooga aunty Ambulance
Service by mid-afternoon
Wednesday.
Harry Powell, Chattooga
County commissioner, was
reportedly appearing before
the February term Grand Jury
that afternoon and was not im
mediately available to discuss
the issue.
He said last week that he
had ruled out contracting the
service to an outside firm, a
possibility the commissioner
indicated he had considered
earlier. Tri-County Hospital,
Fort Oglethorge. and a Ring
gold funeral home and am
ulance service operator had
asked to be considered, Powell
said.
‘““As far as possible, that's
completely ruled out if we can
hané)le that here and it looks
like it's working out fine,”
Powell said late fast week.
He indicated he had talked
with some physicians about be
ing the medical advisor for the
service last week and ‘‘none
was unfavorable.” The com
missioner said district health
officials had told hiimn that the
service may continue to
operate without a medical ad
visor as long as one is being
souiht and as long as patients
are being transported directly
to hospitals where physicians
are on duty.
Powell said he gave Donnie
Fowler, then the ambulance
service director, 30 days to find
a new job in late January after
Fowler allegedly posted a
memo at the ambulance service
regarding inspection of medical
supplies and told service
employees to contact him
about vacation time or sick
leave, rather than Powell.
Fowler said, however, that he
resigned the post to take a g'lob
paying more money in Whit
field County.
After the incident, Dr.
Hugh Goodwin resigned as
medical advisor to the service,
saying he didn't want “‘two
bosses.”” Powell denied he had
interferred in operations of the
service, however.
