Your recent article regarding the New River Parkway quotes Doug
Tolbert (NRPA) as saying 64% are in favor of the parkway and, of those,
49% favor the west side of the river. Those figures (if accurate) were
relative to prior proposals that assured private property owners a choice
to sell or not. The new proposal does the exact opposite and will have
great impact on private property along the New River Road.
i suggest Doug Tolbert retract his absolute figures and await
the outcome of the comment period on the new proposall
I also suggest the new proposal is not only adverse to all Prior
proposals but stands to violate my civil rights under 42USCS 1982 and
constitutes a collateral attack on my assigned contractural rights as an
owner of private federal patented land.

By Delegate Mary P, Compton
Union, West Vh'ginia - Education.
It's an important part of our daily
lives.
Whether we are grade school
children or working adults, West
Virginians are always learning
something new everyday. Some of
us are fascinated by current events
or the Internet, others enjoy new
gardening tricks or ways to
maintain a healthier lifestyle. Some
even continue their education in a
college or university setting, gaining
further insight on various subjects.
Naturally, human beings are
intrigued by new things. Education
is vitally important to us, not only
for the betterment of ourselves, but
for the betterment of our community.
Therefore, we must encourage West
Virginia's youth, and get them eager
to learn.
Studies show that West
Vrginians can now get excited about
recent reports that were released
concerning our state's educational
progress. According to Education
Week's annual Technology Counts
report, West Virginia public schools
are above the national average and
considered one of the nation's
leaders in several key areas of
education technology.
"West Virginia remains
committed to making computers an
integral part of teaching and
learning in its classrooms," the
report revealed.
With the 21st Century right
around the corner, educators know
how important it is to keep up with
current technology. We must
prepare our children for the future.
A future that is becoming more and
more high tech.
The report also noted other
achievements. They include
continuing investment in the Basic
Skills Computer Education (BS/CE)
program for elementary schools; the
Milken Exchange report, which
reveals the program's positive
impact on student achievement
and the
SUCCESS program, which
expands technology into both middle
and high school curriculums.
Education Week also analyzed
several other factors revealing that
West Virginia:
* is tied for 10th best in the nation
with 4.7 students per instructional
computer;
* has 8.8 students per
instructional multimedia computer,
which is better than the national
average of 9.8;
* has more Internet-connected
computers per student than the
national average (10.5 students
per Internet-connected c(;mputer
compared to 13.6 nationally);
* is above the national average
with 94 percent of eight grade
students in schools that make
computers available in a computer
lab.
These results prove that West
Virginians see technology in schools

PIECE OF TRADITION
Each piece that goes into a family quilt is stitched with love and care. For the
past 12 years, the Long Term Care Unit at Summers County ARH has been
helping families continue that tradition of caring by providing its residents
with a personal touch and the dedication they need. These residents are the
link to our past as we prepare for the future. That is why Summers County
ARH is so proud of the results of a recent West Virginia Long Term Care
Family Satisfaction Survey. Take a look at how Summers County ARH's Long
Term Care Unit is doing on their piece of tradition.
