Board To Be
Abolished?
Is Day Going To Adairsville?
The Summerville City
Council may consider
abohshigg the city’s recreation
board today, Jan. 2.
The council, which included
three new members as of
Wednesday, is expected to
meet at 6 p.m. at city hall.
The board has been the
center of controversy during
the I{)ast couple of months.
alph Sl;,anle , a new
member of the pane{ indicated
that it may consider the action.
He said early this week the
council was awaiting an opi
nion on the issue from Branch
Connelly, city attorney.
HANKINS QUITS
Meanwhile, outgoing Coun
cilman Guinn Haniins resign
ed from the council at 2:20 p.m.
Friday. The resignation letter
was apparently prompted by a
ruling by Connelly that a
memger of the council cannot
serve on another city board.
The ruling was handed
down after a local resident
found a 1986 court decision
that holding two such offices
was illegal and brought it to
the attention of Mayor Sewell
Cash.
Hankins apparently resign
ed the councif) seat so ie could
remain on the recreation panel.
However, if the board is
abolished, his resignation
would be a moot issue.
County Budget
Approved Friday
A budget of $5,733,892 has
been adopted for Chattooga
County’s use in 1992.
The action was taken this
past Friday morning by Com
missioner Jim Parker in his
office.
A public hearin%on the pro
gosal was held on Dec. 20 and
arker said last week that a
final review of the bud%e:t
didn’t turn up any changes he
felt should be made.
Lewis Stran:Fe, Atlanta-
Trion area, asked the commis
sioner to consider aid for the
Holland Day Care Center.
Parker said the county had
already assisted the center in
some areas and he would keep
it in mind during the coming
year.
Strangle)a also asked why no
bids had been taken on work
being done at the countg’s ex
istin(f landfill on Penn Bridge
Road. Pat&i' Construction Co.,
Summerville, is currently per
forming the work.
REVIEW
Commissioner Parker said
he would review the situation
in 1992. Patty already has ex
gfirience in operating the land
ill, Parker said, and he felt it
unwise to change contractors
because it has been difficult
keeping the dated facility in
compliance with state en
vironmental laws.
Parker said he had thought
when assuming office that the
landfill would have been closed
in 1989 and it would have been
“illogical” to change contrac
tors with that in mind.
However, he said, the issue has
been “‘dragged out” because of
difficultty in obtaining state ap
proval for a new landfill site.
The commissioner said
state law doesn’t require the
county to obtain bids for ser
vices, only for goods and sup
plies. He said he would review
the matter again this year.
TWO MEMBERS .
He also said he had named
Maxine Searels, Trion, and
Mike Hutchins, Chelsea area,

Hankins was defeated in his
bid for re-election and was
scheduled to %3 off the council
at midnight Tuesday.
Hankins was appointed to
the recreation board in 1982
and was elected to the council
in 1983.
DAY LEAVES?
In another recreation
related matter, it appeared
Monday that James “f immy"’
Day might not assume the post
of recreation director on
Wednesday, Jan. 1. Stanley
told The Summerville News
Monday morning that Day had
told him he was not %oing to
become director. Stanley said
Day told him that he was go
ing to accept a J)ost of assis
tant coach and teacher at
Adairsville H'ilgh School.
However, The News could
not reach Day for confirmation
of that rePort.
Part of the controversy in
volving the recreation board
concerned the hiring of Day to
replace Stanley as recreation
director.
If Day does not accept the
post, the board — or the coun
cil — would then have to hire
a new director to take over
Stanley’s duties.
The 1992 council includes
veterans Ira Pollard, mayor
pro tem, and Ed Bush. New
members are Stanley, Mike
King and Earl “Red’” Parris.
to be the county government’s
representatives on the county
wide solid waste management
advisory committee. It is ex
pected to meet in January.
Anne Von Itter, Gore, said
she wanted to be on the panel.
Another spectator at the
meeting last Friday morning
suggested Jerry Brown, Gore,
for the panel.
Parker said it was ‘“‘possi
ble”” that the county’s
representation would be
expanded. ’
The 1992 budget is
$382,115 less than the 1991
budget of $6,116,007. Most of
the decrease involves a cut in
the amount allocated for solid
waste purposes during 1992.
Marijuana
Charges
Recorded
Three Chattooga Countians
have been charged with misde
meanor violations of the state’s
drug laws after a raid turned
up suspected mari"%uana.
Sheriff Ralph Kellett said
his officers and the Lookout
Mountain Judicial Circuit
Drug Task Force hit the home
of William L. Parker in Dowdy
Trailer Park at 7:45 p.m.
Friday.
Parker, 41, was charged
with g)ossessing marif'uana.
Also charged were Pamela Ann
Parker, 36, Summerville Rte. 5,
and Jeffery A. Pless, 21, 1
Megginson Dr., Summerville.
eriff Kellett and Inv.
Jerry Davenport said the
suspected pot was valued at
about $175. ¢
Two other separate drug ar
rests were also made duri:(f
the ]gast week. They included:
ennis W. Wilson, 31,
Athens, who was charged with
a misdemeanor violation; and
Charles G. Harris, 30, Old U. S.
Highway 27, Trion, who was
charged with a felony drug law
violation.
Details were not immediate
ly available.
Beverage License
The Summerville City
Council has approved renewal
of a malt beveraie license for
George's Kwi Service,
Highland Street, for 1992.
The action was taken
Thursday morning during a
called meeting of the panel. No
other business was transacted.

State standards require that all
bodies of water maintain PH
levels of 6.8 to 7.2.
A chemist who analfi the
water sample said the high PH
level revealed a caustic
material, probably - sodium
hydroxide, concerning the
nature of the production at the
facility.
NO SPILLS
When notified of the
discovery, Rile?el finiahins
plant manafi-e ent Snow sai
there had been no chemical
spills at the plant on the date
in question, Dec. 3, and though
plant chemists tested the
creek’s PH levels daily, there
had been no high PH reports.
After beinglcontacted by
the Industrial Waste Section of
the EPD, Riegel filed a report
on the incident.
According to EPD official
Allen Hallum, the report, filed
by Riegel chemist P. R. Grose
stated that at 8:35 a.m. Dec. 3,
gl(l)egcreek showed a PH level of
He said (Grose) “It was
checked later and was lower,”
Hallum said, adding that the
report didn’t indicate how
much lower or how much later
the test was made. The News
sample was taken from the
creeE at 3 p.m.
The News has been unable
to reach Riegel officials for
comment.
RAINFALL?
According to Hallum,
Efrose repowedtg the EPD
ter being or a report,
that the area had three inl::?les
of rain Dec. 1 and showed a PH
level of 7.4. It was further
listed that it rained 1.1 inches
Dec. 2 with a PH level of 7.2.
Hallum said Riegel officials
The Summerville News, Thursday, January 2,1992 .. ..
are considering the 10.9 PH the
morning of Dec. 3, as being a
storm water event that ‘‘they
will keep an eye on.” Riegel
also reported no rainfall on
Dec. 3.
WGTA radio’s official
weather station logs indicated
that the area recorded 1.21 in
ches of rain on Dec. 3.
Riegel officials also
reported that the h.l{l PH
“went away’’ later in the dal‘;
but did not specify how muc
later in the report. Again, The
News water sample was taken
at 3 p.m. that same day.
According to Hallum, the
report indicated that Riegel of
ficials could find no source for
the problem and assumed, it
was a problem with the dam,
that they will look into raising.
Riegel officials indicated on
the report that the creek water
contained a white color. The
News sample was the usual
blue shade.
Hallum said since the inci
dent was a one-day event and
it was not reporteci when it oc
curred, makmf it difficult to in
ves(;igate, a fine will not be
levied.
There was no evidence of a
fish kill.
