The National Park Service
released this week for public
review a draft Land Protection
Plan for the New River Gorge
National River.
"This document is anot~
.Important step in the Park
Serviee's planning process ~or
the national river," said
erintendont Jim Carrico.
The plan identifies the land ~r
interests in land, within tie
boundaries that are proposel
~or federal ownership in ords"
to achieve the purposes of tb
national river. It addresse
compatible and incompatibl~
land uses, recommends ways t~
protect the resources of the
gorge establishes priorities for
protection.
Copies of the plan are now
being mailed to owners of
record and to those who have
requested a copy, Copies are
also available at park head-
quarter at Oak Hill.
To explain the plan further
and answer questions from
those who own land within the
boundary or other interested
persons, six public meetings
and three opon houses will be-
held from February 27 through
March 9.
"We have identified several
tracts within the boundary for
which we have been unable to
locate owners," Carrico said. "
If ~ou are a landowner and do
not receive a copy of this plan,
or believe you are a land-
owner, please call or write our
headquarters and we will be
pleased to send you a copy."
Copies of the document have
been sent to the West Virginia
Congressional delegation, to
Governor Rockefeller, the De-
partment of Natural Resources
and local officials. An official
public notice was published in
the Federal Register Feb-
ruary 8.

ings and open houses:

Approximately 62,000 a~res
of land are within the national
river boundary. Of this total,
approximately 4,800 acres are
owned by the State of West
Virginia ( including Babcock
and Grandview State Parks)
and 538 acres by the National
Park Service. Another 1,500
acres are included in developed
communities such as
Thurmond, Thayer, and Terry.
The remainder is privately ow-
ned and mostly undeveloped
with the exception of the
Chessie System Railroad right -
of way, two coal preparat-
ion plants and a surface coal
mine.
The plan discusses several
alternative methods of land
protection such as fee acquis-
ition, less-than-fee acquisition (
i.e. easements), zoning, coop-
erative agreements and pro-
tection by the state.
The plan does not constitute
an offer to purchase land or
interests in land, but instead
will guide subsequent land pro-
tection actions, subject to the
availability of funds and other
constraints. The contents of the
plan in no way diminish the
rights of private or corporate
landowners. Future requests
by the Park Service for acq-
nsition funds will be based on
this plan when it is approved.
The Land Protection Plan
will be revised as necessary to
incorporate public comments,
then sent to the Mid - At-
lantic Regional Office. When
approved by Regional Director,
James W. Coleman, Jr.; it will
be implemented.
The West Virginia Public
Service Commission granted
West Virginia Telephone Com-
pany rate increases totaling
$1.146 million or about 51 per
cent of their request and all-
owed the company a 13.95 per
cent return on investment.
The rate increase will affect
the average residential cust-
omer's bill by $2.79 a month.
However, this figure will vary
from one locality to another,
depending on the number of
telephones that can be called
on a local basis and the type of
service provided.
Jim MeLaughlin, vice - pre-
sident and state manager of
West Virginia Telephone Com-
pany, stated that he was pl-
eased that the West Virginia
Public Se! ,rice Commission had
granted the $1.146 million in-
crease, but pointed out that it
represonts only 51. per cent of
the amount needed.
Commenting on service, Mc
LaughJin stated, " All the in-
dexes we use to measure ser-
vice show continuing improve-
ment throughout the state of
West Virginia, but we are ded-
icated to providing even better
service in the future."
That amouat is $1.10 million
less than the company asked
for in April of 1983, wh~ it
applied for rate increases that
would generate a 16.75 per cent
return on investment.

$3,000 For New Lighting Needed
Due to the poor lighting that
exists at Perry Memorial Gym-
masium a fund Raising Project
to replace the old lights has
been started.
The cost of the new more
modern daybright lights is
$105.75 each and it will take 28
lights to complete the project.
The present lights are 750 watt
bulbs that have been in the
Gym since it was cOnstructed in
the early 1950's.
The newer and brighter bulbs
are 400 watt and we will be able
to discontinue 16 fixtures which
should lower the power bill that
our tax dollars pay.
Due to a limited budget and
the lack of excess levy monies
it is impossible for the Board of
Education to pay for ..this
project. The Gym is in use most
every night by either school
related activities or church
groups and independent bask-
etball games.
If each parent that has a child
connected to basketball games
that are played in the gym
should donate the goal of
$3,050.05 should be reached
with little effort and the new
lights should be installed by
tournament time or sooner.
Anyone wishing to donate
should make checks payable to
Gym Lighting Fund, c - o Ray
Pivont, P. O. Box 1027, Hinton,
Wes~ Virginia 25951. Any
money in excess of the $3, 005.00
goal will be divided equally and
be distributed to all the county
schools to help finance their
athletic programs.
