Rumors seem to be floating around that the safe in the Prosecutor's Office is jam packed with stuffpertaining to unsolved old cases. We want to dispel those rumors. The safe is empty and Prosecutor Jim McNeely has invited us up to take a picture. Actually the safe is taking up valuable space in the office and, because of the size of it, can't be removed without taking down a wall. So the prosecutor lives with a reminisce of the past and a curiosity by the all too often visitor. --- A Town Meeting concerning the Avis Overhead Bridge will be held at the Memorial Building on Monday, Sept. 22, at 5:30 p.m. It will include an official with the state's highway department. The meeting is to discuss the fate of the. bridge, constructed three-quarters of a century ago and the last of its kind standing on the North American Continent. Actually, when the new Avis Bridge was first under consideration demolition of the Overhead Bridge was part of the proposal; but, because of the architectural significance of this concrete monolith to America, built at the outset of the Great Depression, these plans were abandoned in 1995. Instead of using the million dollars it would take to dismantle it, Gev. Caperton pledged a million dollars to restore the bridge, turning it into a bridge for pedestrian traffic. We understand that Gev. Wise has pulled the plug on the million bucks (it probably wouldn't take that much to restore it) and now we are taking another look at it. So we have to decide if we want to spend a million dollars to destroy a National Treasure, or try to seek funding elsewhere because Smart Woman Rx at www. smartwomanrx.com.

Get In Gear Teens want to fit in and look great at school. To learn what's en vogue for teens, parents should browse through teen beauty, fash- ion and lifestyle magazines, such as Seventeen, YM, CosmoGirl/ and ElleGirl. Also, parents might take a trip to area malls to see what teens are wearing. of a the government that has turned its back on us. During the meeting of the City Council last month Council conducted the first reading of an ordinance to update the building cedes and provide for the hiring 0fa building inspector. Two readings are required before an ordinance can be adopted, in order to allow for public comment between the first and second reading. The only problem is the code is not available at City Hall and will not be available until shortly before the meeting tonight, when the second reading will be held. So no one, outside of maybe a few, have any knowledge of what this code contains and mandates certain policies and restrictions on the citizens of Hinton. No comment was made at the last meeting concerning the new building ode, what it contained, how it differed from the present cede, nothing. In fact, because of it size, it wasn even read and was suppose to be available for public inspection at City Hall the following day. We hope the Council gives people a chance to review this ordinance before they make it law, unlike the Traffic Ordinance that was adopted on a first and second reading without letting the people know what was contained in the law, and I'll talk about that next. Open Government includes putting changes and new policies before the people. - - - -.-  - ,y.- -)g-  Traffic laws. Shortly after Municipal Judge Curtis Shaver's appointment, he put together a new set oftraffc ordinances. These were adopted after a first and second reading without any disclosure. Confusion developed at'the last meeting concerning a fine for parking against the flow of traffic. Councilman Al Stone wanted to set the fine at $25. Councilman Bobby Wheeler said the cede mandated a fine of $5. Councilman Pat Jordan, aRer some discussion, recommended $10 and the motion passed by majority vote. What does the code say?

Kelly Lankfort Is Honored At Store Thursday, August 22nd., was designated as Kelly Appreciation Day at Betty's Bargains, 215 2nd. Avenue in Hinton. Customers were served refreshments and Kelly was congratulated. Kelly Lankfort,' now a tenth grader at Summers County High School, volunteered six weeks of her summer vacation to assist the Betty's at their thrift stere. When asked if it was a worthwhile experience, Kelly said that she learned many things. She really enjoyed helping to count money, make deposits and reconcile bank statements. She was surprised to learn that there are so many expenses in running a business. Kelly also had fun sorting through clothing and other donated items. It was sometimes a real challenge figuring out what things are and how they should be used. Betty Tope responded. "We really enjoyed having Kelly here. We appreciated her youthful energy and insight. She helped in all the aspects of the business from interacting with customers to keeping items neat on the shelves and racks. Kelly was dependable, trustworthy and pleasant. In short, she was a real God-send.  Betty Park's comment was that they would have no problem recommending Kelly for employment in many work areas.
