"It's About
Time That Some
Facts Were Printed"
August 6, 1979
Dear Sir,
It's really been good to see our children. I don't feel this is
how many concerned people we true. However, if they vote to
have in Summers County re- spend several hundred thous-
Harding the future site of our and dollars on the acquisition
new athletic facility. However, I
have to wonder if they are
really concerned or just spout-
ing off about something they
know little about when they
decline to have their names
published. The men and women
who have to make the decisions
regarding our school system
cannot hide bellind closed
doors to make decisions and the
public should not be allowed to
print statements that affect
these decisions and request that
their names be withheld. Most
anyone is willing to play with
words if they can remain an-
onymous.
It's about time that some
facts were printed regarding,
the site of a new athletic fac-
ility, a new county high sch-
ool, a new county junior high
school, and our new element-
ary school.
First, I would like to give you
some facts regarding these
sites. The Comprehensive Plan
does not give an exact site for a
new high school. It states only
that it will be located on the
same 40 acre tract that houses
the Summers County Career
Center. That tract includes a
piece of land that joins Bass
Lake trailer park and contains
approximately 76,000 square
feet of land. The proposed high
school contains 73,300 square
feet. It is fact that the high
school could be built there.
Some people feel that the tract
of land mentioned above is too
small for a high school. Where
were these people when an el-
ementary school consisting of
40, 000 square feet was planned
and started on a site consisting
of 20,000 sq. ft.? When this
elementary school is complet-
ed, approximately fifty (50)
people will be employed on
Cross Street betwen Park Av-
enue and Main Street. Where
will these people park? Where
will the approximately 600
children play? Where were all
the concerned people when this
site was being chosen? A lot of
people are now concerned about
the railroad crossing. Where
were these concerned people
when the school system was
looking for a suitable site for a
vocational school and ultimate-
.ly chose the site at Brooks?
Second, some concerned peo-
ple say that an athletic facil-
ity would take the site belong-
ing to a [uture high school.
Before a future high school can
become a reality the following
things have to be considered:
I. The land belongs to the
vocational program and any
other use has to be approved by
the local board, the State De-
partment and the Federal gov-
ernment. If all of this is done,
then it has to be purchased at
whatever price the state and
federal government feels is
just.
2. The local board has to vote
to put a bond issue before the
people.
3. The people have to pass a
bond issued by a 60 per cenl
majority.
4+ The revenue from this bond
issue would have to build a
school consisting of approxim-
ately 73,300 sq. ft. Our bonding
potential cannot exceed 5 per
cent of our assessed values. As
of now, this would be a pot-
ential of $3,006,000. Our new
elementary is costing $2,162,150
for 40,000 sq. ft. Using this as a
comparison, the new high sch-
ool would cost approximately
$4,000.000. with nothing built in
for inflation.
When it is Lime to build their
new high school, I wonder how
many concerned parents will
support education!
Third, Hinton High School has
Subscribe
and preparation of needless.
land, then they can be accused
of putting a priority on foot-
ball.
In conclusion, I would hope
that the board members and all
of those concerned citizens will '
come to the public hearing :.
Thursday, August 9, 1979 So that
we can finally put this issue to
rest and apply our energies in a
new area.

been critiziced because of its
proximity to downtown. Con-
eerned parents have blamed
this for their chldren shoplift-
ing, being on dope, drinking and
etc. It's time those parents take
some responsibility for their
children and put the blame
where it really belongs- on the
parents. Our children turn out
the way they do largely be-
cause we don't have the time for
them that we should have and
because we don't take our res-
ponsibility seriously. A child's
behavior is influenced more by
his homelife than any other
single factor. What about the
children at Hinton High School
who don't shoplift, take dope or
drink? Some people have to
have something to blame for the
mistakes they have made with
their children and .they will
continue to blame the location
of ltinton tligh School.

accused of placing football be-
