THE CHOWAN HERALD Aces Wrestlers Root Ahoskie In Opener By Jerry LaVoie The John A. Holmes High School Wrestling Team started the 1977-78 season with a 63-12 rout over Ahoskie. In preliminary matches, Greg White, Chester Carta and Tony Lassiter were winners. The score is slightly misleading, however, as Ahoskie forfeited seven weight classes. Edenton forfeited only once. In the other six classes, the Aces won five. Alan Downum (13-3), Louis Rome (6-5), Raleigh Basnight (12-0) and Donald Rankins (5-1). Vonon Rome won by a pin (1:48, Ist). Yet with this lopsided score, the Aces still do not really know their strengths or weaknesses. Six new faces were on Monday night’s starting team. Tliree of these wrestlers won by forfeits. One lost. Alan Downum in the 98 pounds class looked impressive. Anytime a team loses five All-Conference wrestlers, one of which won the State title, it will be very difficult to replace them. Yet with practice, this team with six or seven freshmen and only one senior, this young inexperienced team, could be very tough come tour nament time, in the usual Edenton Aces tradition.

Do you know how new state and federal laws will affect their opportunities for ap-. propriate school program? These topics and others will be the focus of a Parent Conference being held at the Northeast Regional Education Center in Williamston from 9 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. on Saturday, December 3. Registration will begin at 8:30 A.M. The conference, which is being sponsored by the Department of Public In struction’s Division for Exceptional Children, has been planned to pinpoint services available in this area, and to allow informal exchange among parents, educators, and other service providers. The December 3 meeting is a follow-up to a similar statewide Parent Conference which was held last May. According to Theodore R. Drain, director, Division of Exceptional Children, the conferences are part of a continuing effort to keep parents up-to-date on the legal rights of their han dicapped children and to provide opportunities for the parent to meet with representatives of service agencies to discuss concerns and learn methods for ob taining services. Special topics of discussion will include family involvement in education programs, testing and psychological services, medical services, and special problems of children with specific handicaps. Additional conference information is available from Jeanette Shaw, N.E.

Many others perhaps you -art eligible for “SSI” and don’t realize it. SSI is designed to provide a floor of income fa people in financial need who are at least 65, blind, or disabled.

To be considered disabled for SSI, a person genaaUy must have a physical a mental impairment which has lasted (or is expected to last) at least 12 months. An individual can be eligible for SSI if he or she has assets—things a person owns—worth $1,500 or less ($2,250 for a couple). A home does not count as an asset, nor does a car of reasonable value. However, savings, insurance, and other property usually counts as an asset. , The maximum Federal SSI benefit is $177.80 a month for an individual, or $266.70 a month for a couple.
