Former Chattoogan
Awaits Transplant
By KAREN COOK
Contributing Writer
There was a time when Cyn
thia Palmer thought herse%na
perfectly healthy, normal per
son. That was before she was
diagnosed with having a hole in
the lining of her heart, or an
atrilseptial.
Originally from Chattooga
County, Mrs. Palmer now
resides in Plano, Texas. She is
31 Xears old, and needs a heart
and lung transplant.
Mrs. Palmer worked as a
bank teller in Plano, but she
started getting sick and miss
ing a lot of work. There were
many days when she did not
have the energr to get out of
bed. She was reluctant to %O to
a doctor but finally her hus
band, John, persuaded her to
go.
The Summerville News, Thursday, November 3, 1988
didates received 258 votes to
67 for Dukakis and Bentsen at
Chattooga High. Bush
garnered 84 percent of the vote
at Trion and 74 percent at
Chattooga High.
In the race for Georgia
Seventh District Con
gressman Democratic can
idate George ‘‘Buddy’’
Darden won, easily defeating
Robert Lamutt, 303 to 68.
Darden received 78 percent of
the vote.
SDI, YES
Trion students also voted
for or against five referendum
issues. Students were asked if
the Strategic Defense In
itiative (SDI), ‘“Star Wars”
program, should be the cor
nerstone of United States
defense. A total of 235
students, representing 56 per
cent of the votes, was in favor
of the proposal, and 131 were
against.
Voters were also asked if
they favored deficit spending
to balance the federal %?Jdget.
Sixty-one students were in
favor, and 303, or 79 percent,
were against.
AMENDMENT 1, NO
The majority of students

CONGENITAL
She was diagnosed as hav
ing a heart defect. Her doctor
said she had been born with the
problem. Had it been
discovered when she was a
child she probably could have
avoided a heart-lung
transplant.
According to her doctor,
Mrs. Palmer’s condition has
caused her blood to have a low
oxygen content and therefore
strains her lungs causing them
to deteriorate. :
Mrs. Palmer’s weight drop
yed from 105 pounds to a
ragile 85 pounds. At one time
she enjoyed swimming. travel
ing, working and shopping.
Now she spends her time wat
ching television and doing
crafts.
“I’m not the kind of person
to get depressed about
something like this. I try not to
get down about this because I
realize it’s not going to help me
to get upset,” she said.

THS One Of Four State Schools
Chosen For Satellite Courses
Trion High School is one of
four schools in Georgia chosen
to use satellite technology to
provide students with courses
many smaller schools are not
able to offer now. The program
will start in January.
High schools, with a low
number of students such as
Trion High, are not able to of
fer all the courses colle§e
bound students need, or would
like to take, said Bill Kinzy,
superintendent of Trion
schools.
The ‘‘interactive instruc
tion’’ provided by the satellite
grogram will give students Og
ions to take advanced math,
science and foreign languages
Trion has not been able to of
fer before, he said.

systems is the cost for hiring

Although rain kept the crowd smaller
than in previous years, about 450 children
turned out to receive candy from the main

starting their walk north on Commerce,
young children in costumes and their

armers and Merchants Bank. Winners
of the costume contest were above, from

Parents Beware: Satanism
Increasing Across Country
By RICH JEFFERSON
Staff Writer
Worship of the devil has
been increasing during the past
10 years in Gecrgia and across
the country, but may have
decreased in Chattooga Coun
ty since 1982 when Charles
Scudder and Joey Odom were
murdered at their home in nor
theastern Chattooga County.
According to Chattooga
County Sheriff Gary McCon-
Users Of The Great Outdoors
Are The Ones To Keep It Clean
Chattooga County hunters
and hikers need to be aware of
their responsibilities while out
of doors, according to Gib
Johnston, the information pro
gram manager of the Atlanta
office of the Department of
Natural Resources.
Johnston said that there
have been no problem with
hunters and hikers so far this
year, and that both need to
work to prevent any from hap
pening. ‘“We shouldn’t have
a handful of students, Kinzy
said. Hiring an advanced
calculus teacher for three
students cannot be justified in
light of Trion’s buc{get limita
tions, he said.
Kinzy, a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the
Georgia School Superin
tendents Association, said he
first heard that the satellite
%rogram was coming to
eorgia at one of the executive
committee's meetings. The
committee meets quarterly.
“When I heard the news I
immediately asked him
(Rogers) to consider Trion for
one of the pilot schools. This
program was tailor made for a
school like ours,” Kinzy said.
Rogers is the superintendent of
public schools.
FUNDING
Funding for the Krogram in

no growth in devil-worship
since Scudder and Odom were
killed in what came to be call
ed the Corpsewood Murders.
Even so, satanism is here,
and there are disturbing indica
tions that some students in the
Chattooga County public
schools are “dabglers" in
things related to devil-worship.
INVESTIGATOR
According to Ann Tate, a
Roswell police invest(ifator
who counsels parents and their
children on the realities of
satanism, devil-worshippers
have only selfish goals, and
any particular problems now,
with winter coming on,” he
said. ‘““That’s when the hikers
go inside and leave the outside
to hunters.”
He added that no real pro
blems have occurred with
hunting-related injuries. “I
don't think we’'ve ever had an
injury caused by a hunter,” he
said. “‘But if you do go into the
woods for any purpose, you
should wear flourescent
garments as a safety

recently awarded a $5.6 million

The grant will fund Trion’s
‘“‘distance learning E‘roject,"
along with the satellite pro
grams of three other schoo& in
Georgia. A total of 16 other
states have schools which will
soon start distance learning
projects, including nine in the
south.
The satellite program
solves the conflict between stu
dent needs and budget
restraints, Kinzy said.
Students will be able to “get on
the telephone and talk to the
teacher on the screen if the
have a question,” Kinzy sail
