Work Continues On Trion School Building
Three teachers from each
school will undergo 30 hours of
intensive training on the equi
ment at a central location, IE:
said, plus another 30 hours of
supervised workshop instruc
tion. They will bring their own
classroom materials, such as
class rolls, to create their own
forms and programs, Herring
continued.
COLLEAGUES
Following the workshop,
those teachers will return to
their respective schools with
the computers and train their
colleagues, he said. The
systems will be placed in the
teacher workrooms at each
school and will be for the ex
clusive use of instructors.
The grant is $3,100 short of
what he had hoped for, Herring
said, because of a
misunderstanding and error in
filing the afl)lication. An ad
{)ustment will have to be made
efore the computer systems
are purchased, he said, but
Russ Lloyd, Chattanooga, 'l'enn., for $48,250. It was the
low bid submitted to Ramsey. The remainder of the work
is being done by Ramsey on a cost plus 10 percent basis.
The structure is expected to be completed in the im
mediate future. (Staff Photo).
they should be in place ready
for training within a month.
PAPERWORK
The Quality Basic Educa
tion (QBE) has created
significantly more paperwork,
teachers have comprained. Her
ring said the computers should
help alleviate the paperwork
load on Chattooga teachers.
They will be able to do all
their tyfiing and word process
ing on the systems, he said. In
structors will place their Frade
books, parental reports, labels
for permanent records, student
rolls and other information on
the computer and print copies
when needed, he said. “We
hope to be able to eliminate
some paperwork.”
OPTION
The Chattooga system com
peted for the grant under a
third option of the program,
Herring said. Grants in this
category ranged from $5,000 to
$60,000 apiece. ‘“The grant pro
posals were rated by outside
raters for probable success and
the extent to which the pro
posal’s objectives met the state
purpose,’”’ said Myra Tolbert,
technolo%y coordinator for the
Georgia Department of Educa
tion. “Then the proposals were
ranked for eligibility according
to state criteria.”’
Another part of the pro
%'ram was a continuation grant
or systems that had received
funds last year. The second op
tion woul(i' allow systems Fo
emulate one or two ‘‘exemplary
technology programs chosen
from the first-year group,” Ms.
Tolbert said.
MORE FUNDS?
There is a possibility that
Chattooga ams other systems
that received funds under the
competitive portion of the
grant pr(:igram may be able to
receive additional monies dur
ing the 1989-90 school year.
Powell Orders Cuts
In Use Of Landfill
New Closing Date Is On Dec. 31
A major reduction in use of
the existing Chattooga County
landfill was announced this
week by Commissioner Harry
Powell. It will affect all area
private sanitation services and
industries, starting Saturday.
Powell made the announce
ment today in an ad he placed
in this week's edition of The
News. It was delivered to the
newh?aper Tuesday.
eanwhile, no recommen
dation on whether the state
should a%prove a 50-acre site
west of the Perennial Springs
community for a new landgll
had been made by Wednesday
morning.
PHASE-OUT
“Under orders from the
state EPD (Environmental
Protection Division) Board, we
will begin J)hasing out the pre
sent landfill on the Penn
Bridge Road immediately after
Oct. 1,” the commissioner’s ad
says. ‘“This notice is to inform
all private haulers of garbage
an(P all industries dumping
refuse in the Chattooga Cl())un
ty landfill that no dumping will
be allowed after Oct. 1 illlnéhat
tooga County landfill, with the
exception of the City of Sum
merville, who operates the
landfill.
“Small amounts such as
pickup truck loads and loads
carried in automobiles will be
allowed to be dumped at Chat
tooga County landfill until a
new site has been ezzfi)roved.
purchased, and opened for solid
waste landfill material,”” Powell
said in the notice.
AGREEMENT
Clark Reynolds, North
Georgia regional manager for
the EPD, Georgia Department
of Natural Resources, said
Wednesday that the state had
entered into an agreement
earlier this year with the coun
ty calling for the landfill to be
closed on Sept. 30 and a new
facility opened on Oct. 1.
However, when it became
apparent that the county
couldn’t meet the deadlines,
the state renegotiated with
Powell, he said. %he agreement
was amended on Aug. 20,
Reynolds added, calling ?or the
county to contract with a
licensed professional engineer
to draw a site closure plan for
the Penn Bridge facility. It also
called for the firm to design a
plan for use of a new langgl].
That closure plan is suppos
ed to be submitted to the ‘[?F(’)D
by Saturday, Oct. 15, for its
review, Reynolds said. Chat
tooga has apparently entered
into a contract with the Rome
engineering firm of Williams,
Sweitzer and Barnum, based
on conversations he has had
wi%l the company, Reynolds
said.
One of the more common areas
of injury to the back is the
slipping of the sacrum or
> tailbone, in relation to the bones
24 of the hip. This is commonly
( / referred to as sacroiliac strain.
, ; . The sciatic nerve can become
oy 3 % involved which can create
v § X further disability. An individual
Si 4 \ \‘ suffering from sacroiliac strain
) may not be able to stand straight
! without experiencing sharp pain.
A similar condition can be found
along any part of the spine. For
; example, if the strain is located
. in the upper back, the arms and
shoulders may become {
N involved. Heightened pain,
Wl whether laying, standing or
sitting, may be caused by
motion.
if left untreated, this pain and
strain may cause further
complications. Corrective
chiropractic adjustment to the
involved vertebrae can bring
about rapid relief of the
symptoms and correction of the
disorder.
You or someone you know may
be suffering needlessly from
upper and lower back pain at the
‘N risk of further complications.
s Please give our office a call if
it L back injury is suspected.

DEC. 31
The Penn Bridge landfill is
due to be closed on Dec. 31 and
the closure proposal is suppos
ed to outline interim ?{erating
pl:_xgs for the facility, Reynolds
said.
A new landfill is supposed
to begin operation by Jan. 1 of
next year, accordin% to the
Aug. go a ment, the EPD
official adged. :
The notice this week is ap
parently the commissioner’s
own decision to begin phasing
out operation of the Penn
Bridge landfill, Reynolds said
Tues%ay. “I believe Commis
sioner Powell is proceeding
along the line that we agreed to
in August,” he continued.
OBJECTIONS
1f the Perennial Spri?’g site
isn't approved by the EPD, the
county could — if it “‘rushed”
— sing another site and have it
in operation by Jan. 1,
Reynolds said. Notin% objec
tions to the landfill by
residents of the Perennial area,
Reynolds said it would be
doubtful that Powell could find
any site to which there
wouldn't be objections. I
don’'t know what's fioing to
hapgen to landfills in the future
(in eorgia)."
David Simonson of the
Geologic Survey branch of the
EPD was out of his office Tues
day and on Wednesday morn
ing and could not be contacted.
He said last week, however,
that he anticipated having a
recommendation on the Peren
nial site by late this week.
RECOMMENDATION
Jim Dunbar, program
manager for EPD, confirmed
Wednesday morning that he
had not received a recommen
dation on the site from
Simonson.
Some 650 people have sign
ed petitions against locatin
the landfill in Perennia%
because they're concerned
about it causing future pollu
tion of the area’s numerous
springs and eventually Rac
coon Creek, the main water
supply for the City of
Summerville.
Tech Board
Meet Monday
The Walker Tech board of
directors will meet at 5 p.m.
Monday at the school.
Grady McCalmon, Sum
merville, city manager, is vice
chairman of the board, and Ron
Hayes, personnel manager at
Harriet & Henderson Yarns
Inc., is the other Chattooia
County representative on the
board.
The Summerville News, Thursday, September 29, 1988
Summerville officials have
rejected the site and said they
won't participate in its pur
chase because of those
concerns.

Two sites for a potential
new landfill have already been
approved by the state but both
have been rejected by either
the city or county. One is
located off U. S. Highway 27
just south of Summerville. The
other is located adjacent to the
existing Penn Bridge Road
landfill.
