A Tribute To Sharon
Madison County School Administrators, Faculty
and Students at Marshall School, and Title I Reading
Teachers mourn the loss of their teacher, co-worker,
and friend, Sharon Sluder Hensley. She had a unique
inner beauty which brightened the path of all those
whom she chanced to meet All who knew her, loved
her
The Title I Reading Center at Marshall
Elementary School where she taught remedial
reading classes was a place of beauty as well as
learning She worked constantly to make the room
more beautiful and the program more appealing for
children with special needs in the area of reading.
Many extra hours were spent in preparing teaching
aids to assist the child with reading difficulties.
Each student who came to the reading center was
evaluated an individualized program planned for
him baed upon his deficiencies, and allowed to
move at his own pace to eliminate these deficiencies
Sharon's reading program was one of the best in
North Carolina Many educators visited her center
and came ;iway inspired with new ideas and en
thusiasm Sharon left many happy memories in the hearts of
all with whom she worked. These memories will
remain with us to challenge each of us to do his job
well. She began excellent programs, which we must
continue, else all of her work will have been in vain.
There is no better way that we can pay tribute to this
outstanding, very talented teacher, our friend, than
to give our best to the children of Madison County
whom she loved so well

Letter To Editor
Lyngholm Critizes, Tolly
Explains Nuclear Publicity
November 18, 1975
French Broad Electric
Membership Corporation
Mr. Charles R. Tolley, Acting
General Manager
Marshall 28753
Dear Mr. Tolley:
It is with utmost surprise
and deep dismay I notice that
the French Broad Edition of
the November CAROLINA
COUNTRY did not bring Mr.
Henry T. Harrison's reply to
your August issue's pro
nuclear propaganda piece -even
though you had promised
your readers this reply in the
October issue.
Considering that Carolina
Power it Light Company plans
to build a nuclear power plant
on the Buncombe - Madison
county line and the EMC
might buy one of Duke
Power's nuclear plants you
certainly owe it to your
readers to bring them the
facts. m
It is ironic that this month's
magazine on page 22 carries a
piece "EMC Communications
Efforts Needed" - and then
you proceed to insult your
readers by omitting Mr
Harrison's pertinent report
while bringing us a spitting
contest!
I strongly urges you to bring
Mr. Harrison's article in your
December issue, the last one
to be mailed to all members,
as I understand it.
Yours sincerely,
-s- Edgar Lyngholm, I) C

Dear Dr. Lyngholm:
In response to your letter of
November 18, 1975, I would
like to bring the following
things to your attention:
1 . Your letter is addressed to
me, not to the Editor of
CAROLINA COUNTRY. I
have not promised anyone to
print anything in the
CAROLINA COUNTRY
magazine.
2. French Broad EMC does
by an agency of the U.
want it witn no
not receive Duke Power and
will not by itself purchase one
of Duke's nuclear plants. The
North Carolina Electric
Membership Corporation as a
statewide unit is negoitating
for such a purchase.
3. As previously indicated, I
did not omit Mr. Harrison's
article and I did not bring a
spitting contest to your at
tention in the November issue
of the CAROLINA COUNTRY.
French Broad EMC has been
allowed two pages in the
CAROLINA COUNTRY for
communication with our
members; however, we do not
have the authority to say
which two pages will be used
for this. Neither do we have
authority on what articles will
be published in this magazine,
what letters and editorial
conunents will be made. This
authority rests solely with the
Editor of the CAROLINA
COUNTRY.
4. It has been the feeling for
some time by the Directors
and management of French
Broad Electric that the
CAROLINA COUNTRY does
not serve the specific needs of
French Broad Electric
Membership Corporation as
well as a monthly newsletter
published by French Broad
personnel, and for that reason
French Broad Electric will not
subscribe to the CAROLINA
COUNTRY after December,
1975.
We at French Broad have no
desire to mislead any of our
members or to take a pro
nuclear or anti-nuclear
position. We do not feel that
we have the expert knowledge
to qualify us to make such a
stand.
Our sole purpose for
existence is to provide our
members with the most
reliable electric service we
possibly can as economically
as we possibly can.
I can assure you that any
information published by this
office will be as fair and as
impartial as we can possibly
make it.
If we can be of further
assistance to you, please let us
know.
Sincerely yours,
French Broad Electric
Membership Corporation

Dear Mr. Cleveland:
Thank you for your letter of
the 3rd inst., I do appreciate
your taking the time to discuss
this matter with me.
However, I continue to
disagree with your statement
that nuclear power will be the
solution to our energy problem
and I do so because en
vironmental and, now, purely
economic factors make it
unacceptable.
I should like to point out that
you are mistaken when you
say some of the presently
operating nuclear plants have
been in operation as long as 30
years. The oldest commercial
plant started operation in
December 1957 and, fur
thermore, is a very small (90
MWe ) plant not comparable at
all to those being built today.
You are also misinformed
when you state "there has
never been an accident that
has caused any concern for
the safety and health of those
working in the plants and
living close to them." 3 men
were killed in 1961 in a nuclear
excursion at the National
Reactor Testing Station,
Idaho, and, to mention just
one recent example, there was
certainly (or ought to have
been) concern for the people
living within quite a few miles
of TVA's Browns Ferry
nuclear power plant on March
22, 1975. Please see enclosed
newsletter's report on this
fire.
As for reliability of nuclear
plants as compared to coal
fired plants I do know that
repairs at a nuclear plant, due
to its radioactivity and
complexity, take months
whereas repairs at coal-fired
plants take days or weeks
only.
I am also concerned that the
EMC is committing its
membership to a bad business
deal if you really contemplate
to buy Duke Power's plant "as
is," (Asheville Citizen, Oct.
31 ) that is without guarantees
that the plant will operate
efficiently, safely, continously
and without significant
mechanical failures. Given
the presently operating
plants' poor performance
record this sounds simply
incredible and I trust you will
refute the story9
It would seem more ap
propriate for a membership
owned corporation to promote
environmentally land
economically) sound
generating methods such as
processing refuse into fuel for
generating plants. Small
towns ( Ames, Iowa ), big cities
(e.g. St. Ixmis, Missouri) are
doing it and TV A has talked of
building a plant for conversion
of garbage into fuel here in
Asheville. Rather than TV A
hauling it all the way to
Tennessee why doesn't the
EMC build such a plant, and
use it for generating elec
tricity right here in Western
North Carolina'
Yours sincerely,
