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

(NAPS)--Teens are not the
only ones fretting over school.
-NIany parents are worried about
how to help their kids get pre-
qmred every day, too.
School is the biggest part of
.most teens' lives, said Julia

Pressure on their children usu-

-nts can do to help their children
qt this time is to make sure that
they lfeei good about themselves

_Devillers.
Here are a few simple ways
that' parents can help their chil,
dren {ook and feel good for school:
• : ' Clear Up Skin

Start A Fitness Routine
Stress can lead to many ad-

might consider enrolling their
teens in yoga, karate or dance
classes. Do-it-yourself workout
tapes are also a good option for
the child who prefers to exercise
at home.
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.

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

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.
