Frank Cloer, administrator for the
Georgia Department of Education's
facilities section, came to town Monday
to suggest that the “product’ of the Chat

be improved if the schools of Menlo, Lyer

eliminated and new buildings con

fifth grade; middle schools
would service students in
grades six through eight, and
igh schools would have
students in grades nine
through 12.
POPULATION
Almost no change is ex
pected in Chattooga County's
student population in the next
five years, Cloer said. Accor
ding to the state breakdown,
there are 1,601 students in the
county in kindergarten
through the fifth grafe. 740
students county wide in grades
six through eight, and the
number of students at Chat
too%a High School is 803.
ive years from now, those
numbers are expected to be
1,570, 774 and 793, resgective—
g. There are 3,144 students in
hattooafa County now, and
the total five years from now,
in the 199293 school year, is
ex%ected to be 3,137, Cloer
said.
Confirming statéments
made earlier by local educators,
that the Quality Basic Educa
tion (QBE) program is “‘slanted
toward consolidation,” and
that the QBE funding formula
is “‘the carrot on the stick” held
in front of the donkey to make
it pull the car faster, Cloer told
the board. Consolidation could
save the county more than a
million dollars by implemen
ting his proposed stuc%.
An amount of $1,020,335,
to be exact.
OPTIONS
The board has two options
for upgrading facilities in the
county school system, Cloer
said. Option one leaves the
schools the way they are but
the board must make im

Following a meeting with state officials
Monday morning, the Chattooga County
Board of Education toured construction

tions forces it to do so. Option
two is the consolidation option.
According to option one,
the total amount of E)cal funds
that will have to be spent in the
next five years is $1,454,143.
The total amount of local spen
ding in option two is only
$423,828, (E,loer said. :
For the next five years, the
breakdown for keeping the
schools the way they are in
cludes $2,915,018 in state
funds, $323,891 in required
local funds, and $,130,252 in
additional required local funds.
The total cost of building im
provements would run
$4,369,161 and total local
funds would amount to
$1,454,143.
Under option two, there
would be $5,579,478 in state
funds pumped into the county,
and there would be $332,872 in
required local funds, and only
$90,956 in additional required
local funds. The total spent on
consolidation wou{:ie be
$6,003,306, and the total

Parade Deadline
The deadline for submitting a &oposed theme for this
year's Christmas parade is Friday, Oct. 14, it was announced
this week by the Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce.
Entries in the theme contest must be submitted to the
Chamber office by that date. The person whose theme is
selected will receive a $25 cash prize.
The parade will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2. The
rain date is Dec. 8.
Jack Lively will serve as parade marshal for this year's
event. Grand marshals will be all veterans, past, present and
future. They will include members of the American Legion,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and
their women's auxiliaries, as well as Summerville's Company
H, Georgia Army National Guard.

$423,828
The difference between op
tions one and two, in local
funds, is the cost of keeping the
schools the way they are. It's
$1,020,335, according to
Cloer's plan,
“It'supto you,” Cloer told
the board. “It's totally up to
you. Let us know at the ap
proßriate time.”’
loer also told the board
that the consolidation could
cause less time riding buses for
many students. Several board
members said they simply did
not believe that eliminating
two elementary schools in the
county and busing those
students in to Summerville
would cut down on busing.
““We already have kids who
get on the bus around 7 a.m.
and who don't get off the bus
until 4:30 or 5 in the afternoon.
I don’t see how this plan could
have kids riding less,” said
Joyce Johnson, a long-time
board member.
Board members said the work looked
good, but it is proceeding more slowly
than they had expected. (Staff Photo By

Theft Investigated
The Chattooga County
Sheriff's Office is investigating
the theft of $60,000 worth of
video tapes from a Summer

The 2,300 video tapes were
stolen from Video Hut, Wal-
Mart Shopping Center, on
Sept. 21, according to a report
filed by Inv. Greg Latta. Klso
listed as missing were the cash
register valued at S3OO, S6O in

2x2-foot hole in the rear roof of
Video Hut, Latta's report said.
A lock on the rear door was

loaded into a vehicle at the
back door, it added.
HAIR STRAND
A strand of hair was found
at the roof opem’nF and the

External Analgesics
(Modern Rub Remedies)
Topical nonprescription medicines for the
relief of muscle, joint, and tendon pain go
by a number of names, including external
analgesics, counterirritants, and analgesic
rubs. Active ingredients in these
preparations produce a sensation of
warmth in the skin. This sensation
"distracts" the nervous system, making it |
difficult for both pain and warmth
messages to be preceived by the brain at
the same time. This temporary distraction
helps crowd out the feelings of pain.
Ingredients approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for use as ex
ternal analgesics include methyl salicylate,
turpentine oil, menthol, and camphor.
Products containing these ingredients are
supplied as liniments, gels, lotions, and
| ointments.
According to the Handbook of Non
prescription Drugs, gel-type products
provide a rapid and extensive penetration
of analgesic ingredients into the skin and
hair follicles. However, excessive
amounts of gel may cause an unpleasant
burning sensation to the skin.
