3:48 a.m., reports said. Chat

A car driven by Cameron
drove into the service station
lot at about the same time the
lawmen arrived, reports said.
They asked Cameron to step
out of his car and Kellett
ref)orted that he saw a sawed
off shotgun in the vehicle.
Reports at the police depart
ment said the gun has an
altered stock and measured
16% inches long. Authorities
said they also found a pair of
“non-chucks,” wooden c{l)xb-like
devices attached by a chain.
Police reports said Cameron
allegedly became abusive and
attempted to elude the officers.
When caught, he allegedly
resisted arrest, police said.
WARPED DOORS
Deputies transported
Cameron to the county jail, but
not before he had torn off an
arm rest and warped the back
doors of a sherif!pse patrol car
with his feet, authorities said.
After being placed in a
holding cell at the jail, the
suspect allegedly stopfied u{)
plumbing and flooded the cell,

TWO YEARS
Construction of the prison

It is designed to hold 750

28 Charged With DUI
Twenty-eight motorists, in
cluding eight women, were ar

of driving under the influence
(DUI) of intoxicants in Chat
tooga County, according to a
report issued by the Chattooga
Sheriff's Office.
Four of those arrested were
involved in traffic accidents, in
cluding a 51-year-old woman, a
25-year-old man, a 63-year-old
man and a 32-year-old woman.
None of the four had been ar
rested on a DUI charge
greviously. However, one had
een arrested four times before
on other charges and another
had been arrested once before
on other charges.
Five of the women arrested
were between 26 and 35, one
was between 35 and 45 and two
were between 46 and 60.
Seven of the men were bet
ween 16 and 27, six were bet

were between 26 and 35, bet
ween 46 and 60 and over 60.
The age of one was not
availab%e.
A 38-year-old man had been
arrested three times previous
ly on DUI charges and nine
times before on other charges,
the report showed. A 23-year
old man had been arrested
three times each on DUI and
other charges.
At least 17 of the 28 had
been in trouble with the law
before their arrest in
Se%tember. At least 10 of the
28 had been arrested before on
DUI charges.

OPPOSED
Residents of the South
Trion and Pennville areas
fought the DOC’s plans to
locate the prison just east of a
heavily populated residential
area. Most Chattooga
business, government and civic
leaders endorsed the concept of
a prison in the county but
many said they had thought
originally that the facility
would be located in a more
isolated area.
When it was first announc
ed, the prison proposal arous
ed a firestorm oF protest in
Pennville. Signs against the
%rison and égv. Joe Frank
arris sprang up in Pennville
and at other %ocations around
the county.
Although original funding
for the prison was diverted to
other facilities, the DOC kept
the project alive and tEe

“We're proud of our
association with the GPA and
the fact that we were able to
obtain this much-sought
display for the people of Chat

special week,”” said the
publisher and %]eneral manager.
‘We hope they enjoy the
photos as much as we do and,
at the same time, remember
that our republic is unique in
its tradition of a free press
unfettered by government
regulation. Some of the photos
displayed in the library could
not have been published in
many nations around the
world.

“We are honored to serve
the people of our county with
complete news coverage and to
record the events of our com
munity with pen and camera
for the current generation and
for future historians,” they
continued. ‘““The photographs
at the library show the vitali

Officials Say Water
Adequate For Prison
Summerville will have ade
quate water available for the
new state prison at Pennville
when it opens in about two
years even if the Chattooga
County Water District board
decides not to sell water to the
citfi'. according to Summer
ville's city manager.
Grady McCalmon made the
remarks Tuesday after some
reports surfaced that the city
doesn’t have sufficient water to
serve the prison.
The Council last month ask
ed the county water board to
sell Summerville up to 250,000
gallons of water per day to
serve the north end of the ci
ty's ?’stem. which is located
outside the city limits. That
section would also serve the
prison at Pennville. The re
(glest fueled speculation that
the city’s current water supp
ly is inadequate for the prison.
The water board, which met
after the Council issued its re
quest, didn’t discuss the sales
groposal in its f¥ubhc meeting.
ummerville officials said later
they had been told that the
board was awaiting further
studies to determine if the
county would have enough
water to sell to the city.
Results of the stud robab{y
wouldn’t be availabf; ?or about
another year, the city officials
said they were told.
McCalmon said the city has
been told that the prison would
require around 120,000 gallons
of water per day with the peak
time being the early morning.
The city has a permit to
withdraw three-million gallons
of water from Raccoon Creek
near Berryton but it has ex
ceeded its permit level on a
number of occasions. The city
wants the Georgia Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) to
issue it a permit to withdraw
3.75-million gallons of water
per day from the creek.
Summerville also has
another water source in Lowe
Spring. McCalmon said the ci
ty may withdraw a maximum
of 600,000 gallons of water per
day from the spring. During
the drought this year and last
summer, the city withdrew
about 420,000 galfi)ns per day
from the spring on certain
days, the city manager
ind};cated.
CARPET MILL
The city has been providing
an increased amount of water
to Bigelow-Sanford Corp. in
Summerville in recent months
since its sale to Fieldcrest Can
non Inc.
During the drought, the ci
ty's two storage tanks on
Goodwin Hill were down to an
unacceptably low level on a
couple of days, McCalmon said.
The combined storage capaci
ty of the tanks is 1.3-mjilion
gallons, he added. Those tanks
serve the north end of the ci
t{'s water system. In one tank,
the usual 20-foot water level
was drawn down to about the
seven- or eight-foot level,
McCalmon said.
“I'm sure it would have had
an impact and comi)licabed the
problem,”” McCalmon said
when asked what the effect
would have been this summer
had the prison already been
hooked to the city's system.
But, by the time the prison
begins operations in a couple of
years, Summerville will have
worked out any supply pro
blems, McCalmon said.
“Oh yea,” he replied when
asked if the city now has
enough water to supply con
struction needs for tfie prison.
The city has already run water,
sewer and natural gas lines to
the ’lprison site.
he city instituted a strict
water conservation program in
the summer, 1986, angr a less
severe conservation plan this
summer. McCalmon said the ci
ty’'s concern was over the low
level of water in Raccoon Creek
and in Lowe Spring. Had the
drought continued ?or another
few weeks in 1986, ‘‘there could
have been a problem,”’ the city
manager said.

City Wants To Buy Water From County
REQUEST
PRISON
ADEQUATE!
The supply situation on the
north end of the city's s{stem
was relieved somewhat this
summer when the six-inch line
along U. S. Highway 27 was
replaced with a eight-inch
main, McCalmon said. In addi
tion, there were some line
breaks in the city's system
that tended to reduce its water
reserve, he added.
TWO DAYS
There were two days when
the city's storage capacity was
at a lower than normal point,
McCalmon said. It was on
those two days that the city
could have al]);viated a poten
tial problem by buyinglwater
from the county, he indicated.
“We know that the county
water board has some extra
water and we'd like to bu(ir
some,”’ the city manager said.
Mayor Sewell Cash said he
understood that the county has
two of its wells on reserve and
is not withdrawing water.
WELL?
The possibility of the city
drilling its own well in the
Summerville-Pennville area
has been discussed but no ac
tion has been taken on the idea.
