of the Georgia Write Now Con
ference to Mrs, Cheri Parker,
asking her to hold workshops
at the conference that was held
Jan. 27-28, Mrs. Parker is a
sixth grade teacher at the
elementary school.
“When I came here I walk
ed into a school with a strong
staff. Mrs. Cheri Parker has
shown her competence in
teaching writing,” said Larry
Musick, principal at Trion
Elementary. "She’s already
been askedy back as a speaker
for next year's conference, and
those of you who have been to
conferences know how rare
that is."”
Musick said Mrs. Parker
has carved out her niche at
Trion as a writing teacher.
“She even uses her planning
period to work on projects in
other teachers’ rooms,” he
said. Mrs. Parker thanked the
board for promoting the kind
of schoo? system where
teachers may attend con
ferences to find out ‘‘what's go
ing on in the state in writing."
“I have a very simple way
of teaching writing. It starts
with the i%ea that ‘it can be
taught,” "' she said.

County Gets Verbal
Okay On Radios
Chattooga County’s
government has received ver
bal permission to start using
its two-way radio equipment,
Commissioner Jim Parker has
said.
The Federal Communica
tions Commission (FCC) called
his office last week and gave
verbal permission for county
work crews to start using the
equ}pment, he said. Written
confirmation should follow
within the next few weeks,
Parker continued.
EFFICIENTLY
It will take a brief period for
his office and crews to become
acquainted with the equipment
and to learn how to use it most

GSBA
James Simmons, vice chair
man of the board, was chosen
again as the board's represen
tative to the annual Georgia
School Board Association's
business meeting of the
GSBA's Delegate Assembly.
The assembly will be held in
Savannah on June 21-24,
This year's fee for Trion's
GSBA membership is $697,
said Bill Kinzy, superintendent
of Trion City Schools. The
board voted to pay the fee and
to keep its membership.
efficiently, the commissioner
said.
When Parker took office on
Jan. 1, he learned that the
county's FCC license on the
radios had expired. Two-way
radios already owned by the
county had apparently not
been used in some time, he said
at the time.
SAVE TIME
The radios were operable
but Parker was awaiting of
ficial permission from the FCC
before placing them back in use
by the county. They will save
the county time and money
and help prevent unnecessary
travel time by county crews,
the commissioner said earlier.
A base unit is located at the
public works department on
Stockade Road and in Parker’s
courthouse office.
No Reports
On Landfill
Chattooga County Commis
sioner Jim Parker had not
received any information from
the state by late Wednesday
afternoon on whether a Chat
toogaville site would be ap
proved as a new landfill site.
Parker said about 3 p.m.
that he hadn’t received any in
formation from the Georgia
Environmental Protection
Division on the suitability of
the 15b-acre tract at
Chattoogaville.
The commissioner last week
exercised a $5,000 option on
the property, which will hold it
until May 15. Price of the tract
is SI,OOO per acre.

“Sonny" Huggins of LaFayette is pic

reviews legislation to regulate the
establishment of hazardous waste sites.
The bill, which Huggins steered through
the Senate, would require the Department

Unemployment Claims Drop
Considerably fewer
unemployment benefit checks
were written to Chattooga
County workers in February
than in January, according to
the Georgia 6epartment of
Labor.
A total of 844 checks
valued at $113,094 was written
last month, compared to 1,726
checks valued at $187,152 writ
ten in January. A total of 780
checks valueJ at $89,720 was
written in February, 1988.
“The number of checks
does not necessarily mean that
there are 844 persons who are
unemployed in Chattooga
County,” said John Ard, a
spokesman for the labor
department. “*Since the checks
are issued weekly, some may
receive four checks, others
three, two or one.”
CLAIMS DROPPED
The number of jobless
claims filed by Chattooga
residents also dropped in
February, compared with a
reference week in January, Ard
said.
A total of 197 claims was
filed during the reference week
ending Feb. 18, while 279 were
filed during the reference week
ending Jan. 14, Ard added.
Of the claims filed in
February, 60 were textile
related. Forty of that number
were partial claims. A total of
92 textile claims was made in
January, Ard said.
CONSTRUCTION
CLAIMS
Forty-seven claims were fil
ed by construction workers,
down from 62 in January. Ap
parel claims dropped from 44 in
January to 30 last month. Two
of the apparel claims were
employer-filed, meaning that
the layoffs were to be
temporary.
The 19 wholesale and retail
trade claims were down from
25 in January, Ard said, while
durable manufacturing claims
fell from 10 to eight last
month. Services claims dipped
from 24 to 13.
Government claims remain
ed unchanged during last
month, with four claims filed.
One agricultural services claim
was ¥iled during February,
