Survey Underway
'Are you using less energy and
enjoying lower fuel bills? How
are you coping with escalating
energy problems?
The technology education pro-
gram at West Virginia Univer-
sity is conducting a survey to
identify innovative and creat-
ive ways that West Virginians
are solving .their energy pro-
blems and promoting renew-
able resources.
"Althoqgh it is called the
West Virginia Model Solar- Con-
servation Survey, the survey
includes biomass, small- scale
hydroelectric, geothermal,
wind and solar projects, " ex-
plained Susan Sauter, coordin-
ator of the survey.
She wants to hear from West
Virginians 'who have developed
community, family or organiz-
ational approaches to conserv-
ing energy or using renewable
energy. Such activities could
involve businesses, farm, eft-
ies, community projects, educ-
ational institutions, utilities or
governmental agencies.
Ms. Sauter said the West
Virginia project is part of a
national survey being conduct-
ed in every state under the
auspices of the Center for
Renewable Resources, a non-
profit organization with head-
I
quarters in Washington, D.C.
The activities will be summ-
arized in a West Virginia cat-
alog of solar- conservation pro-
jects and the moot innovative
will be considered for entry into
a national catalog.

project, please write or call

Shootings, Mar Fourth
Rain dampened many of the
planned Independence Day
festivities for families, friends,
and even whole communities.
Rain was reported over all of
southern West Virginia and the,
gas shortage added to travelers'
problems.
Hinton City Police reported
an unusually quiet holiday and
as of 8PM Wednesday, the
Hinton Detachment of the West
Virginia State Police reported
only one traffic accident in
Summers County.
Cpl G.B. Browning reported
that Stephen D. Sotak was
charged with improper backing
after his 1976 Chevrolet collided
with a 1976 Volkswagen driven
by Carol L. Thompson on the
Mt. View Road near Nimitz.
There were no injuries in the
accident.
The sunny weather earlier in
the week saw several incidents"
that kept local lawmen hopping.
A brawl was reported early
Sunday morning in Avis and
a raid was staged as a result.
Police Chief Lee Hunt said the
fight started after some out-of-
town men apparently became
too friendly with some girls
attending a party. City, County
and State Officers broke up the
fight and took three of the
strangers to the hospital for
treatment of cuts and bruises.
One Hinton man went to the
hospital on his own and report-
edly received fourteen stitches•
A small quantity of drugs were
discovered in a raid that result-
ed from the fight. However, no
charges were filed.
Bobby Lee Adkins of Hinton
reprtedly received a gunshot
wound to the hand Tuesday
night. Adkins said he could not
identify the assailant but said
the shots were fired from a
pick-up truck. Adkins claimed
he was in a parked car near
Summers and Third Ave.
Officers reported hearing
four shots .and theorize they
were fired" from a small caliber
gun.The incident is still under
investigation.
In another shooting incident,
Thelma Bowman of Brock, WV,
was reportedly undergoing
emergency surgery Wednesday
evening after she was shot by a
.22 caliber revolver. Cpl. G.B.
Browning said that the woman
was shot in her camper trailer
at Bass Lake Park. She had
gone into the camper to begin
packing and apparently shot
herself accidentally. Browning
said she was alone in the trailer
and her husband was outside
when the mishap occurred.
Traffic accidents earlier inthe
week kept troopers of the local
detachment busy. On Saturday
night James R. Burdette did
about $400 damage to his 1974
Ford pick-up when he went off
the Jim Creek Road near Wil-
lowood and went over a bank
and struck a tree. Burdette was
not injured seriously.
Trooper A.W. Maddy witnes-
sed a motorcycle accident in
which Edward Ray Brooks was
seriously injured near Pence
Springs. (see July 3 HINTON

Michael W. Vernott of Becldey

after Vernott struck two utility
poles and a store sign at Nimitz.
The accident occurred about 1
AM Monday.Mace also investi-
gated an accident on Madams
Creek Road in which Roger Lee
Bennett and Glenn R. Conner
sideswipped each other on the
narrow road.
On Tuesday, Cletis A. Pack,
19. of Hinton was charged with
failure to maintain control by
Trooper H.W• Lambert. Accord-
ing to Lambert's report, Pack
was driving a-1978 Ford truck
owned by Mountaineer Sanita-
tion of Hinton on Route 12 near
Lowell when a 1977 Ford driven
by Danny Lee Acord of Oceana,
Slowed to make a turn. Acord
reportedly signaled for the turn
and Pack, unable to stop the
garbage truck, tried to pass
Acord's vehicle. Pack struck
the side of Acord's vehicle and
both vehicles ended up in a
yard• Frank Ferrell of Hinton,
passanger in the truck, received
minor injuries.
Robert A. LtUy of Nimitz
truned a truck loaded with block
too sharply and struck a wall at
Hilldale causing minor damage.
Dwayne K. Ward of Rinten
escaped injury when his GMC
pick-up was forced off Route 3
about 11PM Tuesday.
Browning was called to help
investigate another accident
Wednesday afternoon. Although
the wreck occurred in Monroe
County, one of the injured,
Charles Goodall,17, of Bozoo,
was brought to the Summers
County Hospital where doctors
fought to save his life. Reports
indicate that two teenage girls,
possibly sisters, died in the
accident.
