hotline, county schools are of
fering a free tutoring service
after school hours, Hayes said.
“‘Some county schools are even
usin%l their own funds to pay
for the project,” he added.
The hotline will be open
from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. again
this year. The majority of last
year's calls, Hayes said, was
made between 4:30 and 5 p.m.
Most calls were made on
Monday.
So f);r this year most calls
have been placed between 5
and 6 p.m. on Mondays and
Tuesdays.
North Summerville
Elementary School students
made the most calls last year,
171, makix:ig up 36 percent of
all calls made to the Homework
Hotline. Students at the Sum
merville Middle School follow
ed with 97 calls and 20 percent.
Chattooga High School
students made 18 calls
throughout last year, only four
percent of the total.

Berry said he doesn’t
practice the tactic of self
put-down before a match,
but, on the other hand he
says "‘I don't take no
prisoners, either.”
For him, and other
players at Saturday's event,
the game that takes place on
the squares of alternating
colors with round pieces of
other colors is akin to a
military encounter.
“It’s like a battle in the
Civil War. Your cavalry and
artillery have to come in at
the riggt time, or you'll
lose.”
That comparison may go
a long way to explaining the
passion these old Southern
men have for the game of
checkers.
* * *
Berry didn’t win this
tournament, but he has won
in the past, and he will cer
tainly win again. In tour
naments such as the one
held here, there are two divi
sions, a Masters and a
Minors division.
“We know each other
retty well,” Berry said, and
?won't let a star man in the
minors. I ran this tourna
ment, and sometimes there's
a little sandbaggin’ but we
try to keep the qualified
players in the Masters.” "’

In the Masters Division,
the first place trophy went
to Ernie Stephens, Ringgold,
and the second place trophy
went to Robert Armstrong,
Milledgeville.
In the Minors Division,
the first place trophy went
to Vernon Frazier,
Rainsville, Ala., and the se
cond place trophg went to
Charles Mason, Boaz, Ala.
The Summerville Checker
Club has announced that the
next tournament here will be
held at 9 a.m. (EDT) Aug.
26, 1989. There will be a
total of five rounds with two
hours to pl:}y each round.
For more information call
the Summerville Recreation
Center at 404-857-2614.
Darden said, adding he has
‘‘grave reservations about the
wisdom of building such a
facility there."”
Darden said he is especial
ly concerned about the damage
by members of the Council
following the discussion.
The gouncil is composed of
local GAE officers and
representatives from Chat
tooga, Walker, Dade, Polk,
Gordon, Floyd, Whitfield and
several city school systems.

that could be inflicted on water
resources in Walker and
Catoosa counties — both above
and below ground — by a spill
or leak of toxic chemicals.
“In rural areas such as this,
especially, wells are a key
source of drinking water,"
Darden said. *“We cannot af
ford to take an unreasonable
risk of polluting those precious
water resources.’
ACCIDENT
The congressman pointed
out that trucks serving the
waste facility would use
Georgia Highway 151 and In
terstate 75, two heavily travel
ed routes. “The danger of a
serious accident woul§ always
be there, and such an accident
would create the potential for
devastating damage to the en-
vironment, as well as a risk to
human life.”
Darden recently wrote to
Leonard Ledbetter, Georgia's
Commissioner of Natural
Resources, asking that the tox
ic waste permit application of
Chattanooga-based Redox Inc.
be given extremelg careful
scrutiny. Darden said the hufie
turnout for a recent public
hearing on the permit applica
tion ‘“‘proves that the people of
Walker County share my grave
concerns about this &mect.
“I have met with er of
ficials and urged them to use
all available legal means to pre
vent the openmg of this toxic
waste facility,” Darden added.
“*Georgia should not become a
dumping ground for toxic
wastes shipped in from other
states."”
