We are a “Reading First” school and believe that reading is the founda

ment. Our class sizes offer the best teacher-pupil ratio in North Georgia.

as part of their daily instruction.
They are printing their reports
and stories with computer print
ers donated by Best Manufactur
ing Co., Menlo.
The class also receives The
Atlanta Constitution courtesy of
the Menlo company.
In 1997, Mrs. Waters heard
about a program in, which
schools and focal businesses
formed partnerships to better
enhance the quality of education
in a school system.
Mrs. Waters approached
Marty Brown, then a company
official, and asked Best to form a
designated partnership with her
class.
NEWSPAPERS
Mrs. Waters’ telephone call
resulted in the Menlo company
supplying The Atlanta Constitu
tion to the Trion class daily.
“The students really enjoyed
The Constitution and use it con
stantly in classwork by cutting
out articles and looking for spe
cific words, math graphs, and
reading about current events,”
she said.
The fourth graders espe
cially enjoy the “Kids News,” sec
tion whici,i specifically targets
youth by offering stories, puzzles
and jokes for youth, Mrs. eVaters
said.
PRINTERS
Best gave Mrs. Waters’ class
two Brinters.
The extra printers have
been really benefi’zial to the stu
dents as they can print graphs,
make greeting cards and do book
reports now, she said.
Students used the new
printers to firint letters of appre
ciation to the Menlo compan{l.
“I greatly appreciate this
example of business and educa
tion combining for the better
ment of youth,” she said.
ROSE
TIME
February isn’t just a great
time to give roses. It’s a great time
to plant bare-root roses, say ex
perts with the University of Geor
gia Extension Service. Select a
quality plant with at least three
to five strong canes.
The Summerville News, Thurs., March 2, 2000 —
Check Stolen During
1998 Used At Store
A check that was stolen dur
ing a 1998 burglary has surfaced
at a local bank, according to
Chattooga County Sheriff's Of
fice rggorts
ward L. Tudor, 6707 Dry
Creek Road, Subligna, reported
that someone wrote a $286
check to Home Depot, Rome.
That check was stolen during a
burglary at his house in 1998,
accordins to sheriff’s reports.
Tudor told deputies he was con
cerned that other checks might
begin to appear.
It showed up at the local
bank this past Friday.

In other incidents, deputies
reported:
* They arrested Jason
Mitchell, 29, of 79 Azalea Drive,

sessing less than an ounce of

County To Collect
Ice Storm Debris
Chattooga County won't
hire a special contractor for sev
eral hundred thousand dollars to
clean up roadsides from the ice
storm, Commissioner Jim
Parker said. ;
“We're Foing to foriet con
tracting to clear brush,” he said.
The cheapest price from a
contractor was $549,000 from
DRC Inc., Mobile, Ala. The other
g_roposals were higher: $749,500
om Grubbs Construction Co.,
Brocksville, Fla. and $687,500
from Storm Reconstruction Ser
vices Inc., Tuscaloosa, Ala.
TWO AREAS
Since county crews and ex
tra inmate crews from Hays State
Prison, Pennville, have cleared
much of the valley west of Tay
lor Ridge except for Lookout
Mountain, Commissioner Parker
said, he decided it would be less
costly to let them continue rather
than hiring an outside firm.
The Federal Emergency
Manafifment Agency (FEMA)
through the Georgia Emer&ency
Mana%ement Agfincy (GEMA)
would have paid the contractors,
Parker said, “but that’s our tax
mon’f%, too.”
e clean-uicrews will start
next in the Lookout Mountain
area and east of nglor Ridge, the
commissioner said.
;11"( some ru)rall areas, v:le'll
use the (county’s) chipper and go
along the road and l?at the boot
camg inmates dput the limbs in
it,” Parker added. “GEMA will
pay for the overtime worked by
the Hays officers and by our
crews and also for the time our
equipment is used.”
ESTIMATE
He had first estimated that
it would take about $103,000 to
reimburse the county for the
emergency work it did during
and for a week or so it did after
the Jan. 15-Jan. 16 ice storm.
“We haven't had an estimate
since then,” he noted.

Tuscaloosa, has been grinding
