Rives: Three-Lane
Set Before Bypass
Hal Rives, commissioner of
the Georgia Department of
Transportation (DOT), has
pledged in writing to build a
three-lane roadway into Sum
merville from tfle foot of
Taylors Ridge and to complete
the work before construction of
a U. S. Highway 27 bypass.
*“lt is our intention to widen
U.S. 27 — from the foot of
Taylors Ridge northerly into
the City of Summerville — to
a three-lane road,” Rives wrote
53rd Dist. Sen. Waymond
“Sonny"’ Huggins. “‘As I have
promised you in the past, we
will cause this widening to be
effected and comFleLed prior to
the completion of the construc
tion of the proposed Summer
ville bypass.”
BRIDGE
The project would include
the widening of the U.S. 27
bridge over the Chattooga
River southeast of Summer
ville, Rives said. -
The letter, dated last
Wednesday, June 22, is the
latest round in a series of
discussions over the future of
U. S. 27 into Summerville.

county school. (Staff Photo By Buddy
Roberts).
Summerville Mayor Sewell
Cash and Grady Mcgalmon, ci
ty manager, said some 15 DOT.
en%ineers at a meeting in
Atlanta on June 21 were un
familiar with any plans to
widen the roadway into Sum
merville from Taylors Ridge.
Huggins said the next gay
that Rives had promised that
the work would ge done. “The
top brass (at DOT) doesn't tell
those engineers everything,”
Huggins said last week. Rives’
letter seemed to confirm Hug
gins' statement.
SCHEDULE
The DOT engineers told
Cash and McCalmon that work
is supposed to start in July,
1989 on widening U. S. 27 from
Russell Airfiort in Floyd Coun
ty to Highway 156 at Ar
muchee. The stretch from
Highway 156 to Gore is sup
posed to begin by October,
1990, the engineers said.
The bypass work is suppos
ed to begin by Sept. 1, 1991,
the city officials were told.
Rives’ means that the
widening of U. S. 27 to three
lanes from Taylors Ridge into
Summerville would begin
sometime in 1990 or 1991 and
be finished before work on the
controversial bypass is
completed.
BYPASS
The bypass would start at
Gore, travel up Taylors Ridge
and then north down the slope
of the ridge. It would paralfi:l
the east side of Penn Bridge
Road to near Selmans Lake
and then west roughly along
Spring Creek Road to U. S. 27
at Mountain View.
The DOT engineers said it
could cost $1,500 per linear
foot to stabilize Tayfi)rs Ridge
along the new route,
McCalmon said.
Although the DOT had
lanned originally to build a
?ive-lane roadway into Sum
merville from Taylors Ridge,
that all changed when Rives
became DOT commissioner,
succeeding Tom Moreland.
Rives sai(f earth slides along
the current U. S. 27 route on
Taylors Ridge would make the
construction of additional lanes
too costly.
Cheri Teague In Nation’s Top 10
Cheri Teague, a Eraduat-e of
Chattooga High School, placed
in the top 10 at the Vocational
Industrial Clubs of America
(VICA) National Leadership
Conference and VICA United
States Skill Olympics ¥repared
speech competition. The con
ference was held in Wichita,
Kan., last week.
She is the daughter of
Charles and Martha Teague,
Lyerliy.
VICA’s more than 277,000
members are in 14,000 clubs in
51 state and territorial associa
tions, including Puerto Rico
and the Virgin [slands.
LEADERSHIP
The VICA U. S. Skill Olym
pics (USSO), is a national-level
com;fetition in 38 occupational
and leadership skill areas.
Miss Teague, refiresenting
not only CHS but the state of
Georgia, competed against 46
other students, representing
their respective states across
the country.
In the ¥irst round of com
petition, Miss Teague
presented her s?eech on leader
shi(i) to a gane of six judges
and an audience.
Passing this round of com
getition, she carried Geor%? to
he finals. This put Miss
Teague and Georgia in the tup
10 in the nation. Though she
didn't place in the top three,
she should soon hear t}r)om the
national office exactly how she
placed.
She and Freddy Dowdy, her
advisor, and CHS DCT-VOT
coordinator, and his wife,
Janice, were accommodated at
the Wichita Royale Hotel.
OBSERVER
Miss Teague had a busy
week as she toured Wichita.
She observed some of the other
competitions such as carpen
try, cosmetologi and culinary
arts. Along with the Dowdys
and her newly-made frien(g,s.
she visited an Indian museum
and several other art exhibi
tions. They spent some time at
the Little and Big Arkansas
rivers which run through
Wichita.
They also visited Cowtown,
a simuf;ted old western town
and the zoo.
“I had a great time. If I had
not been successful, the trip
would have still been wor
thwhile because of all the new
friends I made,” commented
Teague.

far I had come until the awards
ceremony. Then I realized that

Landfill Assistance
Matching Grant Okay
Chattc oga County has been
given a matching grant of
$29,886.92 to help finance the
cost of closing the existing
landfill and developing a new
facility.
The funds were announced
by Gov. Joe Frank Harris, who
said the money is in the form
of a solid waste management
grant from the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR).
ENCLOSURE
Part of the funds are sul;:-
posed to be used to enclose the
current landfill on Penn Bridge
Road when it is closed, said
Bruce Osborn, environmental
coordinator for the En
vironmental Protection Divi
sion of the DNR. Another por
tion of the money is designated
for the preliminary work in
volved in developing a new
landfill, Osborn added.
None of the state money
can be used to buy pr;)f)erty for
a new landfill or for salaries, he
said.
If the county wants to use
its share of the matching funds
to purchase land, that can be

SUPPORT
“l want to thank Janice
Dowdy along with Frank Yates
and Claude Cox from
LaFayette High School who
gave me a lot of support all
week. I couldn’t have done it
alone,” Miss Teague continued.
“l want to thank my
parents, who have always
given me the freedom and sup
done, Osborn said.
J. Leonard Ledbetter, com
missioner of the DNR, cited
Chattooga Rep. John Crawford
and 53r§ Dist. Sen. Waymond
“Sonny"’ Huglgins for their
assistance in funding the solid
waste grant program.
RESPONSE
When Powell responded to
a consent order from the EPD
in March on the existing land
fill, Osborn said, the commis
sioner wrote the state to ask
for financial assistance with
the project. The state wants to
help counties or municipalities
that are forced to take certain
steps in re:l;mnse to state en
vironmental laws or regula
tions, Osborn said.
The maximum amount the
state can dispense under the
solid waste grant program is
$50,000, the environmental
coordinator said. The reason
Chattooga received $29,886.92,
Osborn continued, is because
that’s all the money that was
left in the state’s grant [}‘ro

“I encourage other

advantage of onortunities
such as this, that are offered
throu%h school and chubs such
as VICA,” Miss Teague said.

secretary, said Tuesday after
noon that she didn’t have any
information on whether Inland
Container Corp. had signed a
contract grovidipg 50 acres of
land to the county for a new
sanitary landfill.
The tract is located west of
the Perennial Springs com

an application to the EPD for
approval of the site. The coun
