Allen, Rucker Public Appreciates DOT (Continued from Page 1A) pavement were completely washed out. A heavy snow will obscure these hazards and ice will make the routes even more treacherous," he said. All major roads damaged by the floods have been signed and, in some cases, lighted with smudge pots. "But, as DOT's flood damage coor dinator Floyd Bass put it, "There are just not enough signs and lights to go around, " so some of the lesser travelled roads may not be properly marked. State transportation of ficials have strongly advised motorists, those familiar and, even more so, those un familiar with the roads in the disaster areas, to avoid travelling the damaged byways unless absolutely necessary Of course, DOT main tenance crews will continue to alleviate the problems as weather permits, but it will probably be spring before construction can be on a full scale basis. Although state forces will I perform most of the repair work, some major road and bridge consturction will be let to contract. Presently, repair work at 29 locations will be let to private contractors. Estimated cost of these jobs is $7.8 million. "These are being let to contract as quickly as possible because of the urgency to get them back in operation," Bass said. He also indicated that roads and bridges carrying the highest 'average daily traffic' will be the ones fixed first. The number of school buses, homes and people affected by a certain road will be taken into consideration. It is evident that DOT has put its best foot forward in dealing with the flood disaster. Chairman of the Yancy County Commissioners Carl Carter said, "I think DOT is doing an excellent job. It is doing everything humanly possible. I have no criticism whatsoever. Now, a lot of people have called me up to see when their road will be fixed," he continued, "but I haven't received any com 1 plaints in the county." Yancey County was the hardest-hit in the 16-county region of Western North Carolina, declared a national disaster by President Jimmy Carter. Gov. James B Hunt Jr. made the comment, "I have seen firsthand the damage that the floods did to schools, businesses, homes, roads and the lives of the people who live in our mountains. And I have seen firsthand how hard our state employees, including those in the Department of Transportation, are working to help bring the lives of those mountain people back to normal." A conversation between a bridge maintenance crewman and an area resident exem plified DOT's cooperation. E. J. Ledford, in charge of the DOT crew replacing a bridge on Hooker's Gap Road (Secondary Road 1220) in Buncombe County was ap proached by a lady on foot. She asked, "Will you fix a place for the kids to get across the creek this afternoon so they won't have to walk all the way around?" Ledford's crew was busy at work in knee-deep water, but he replied, "Yes ma'am, we'll fix a place for them." He later explained that they would place planks across the creek as a tem porary walkway for the children. A brief chat with Segal Phillips who lives on unpaved Bloody Fork Road (Secondary Road 1387) in Yancey County, summed up DOT'S efforts quite well. As he trekked down his muddy road completely destroyed by a nearby stream, he stopped in the midst of DOT crews at work to say, "These boys done a good job." EMC Adopts New Rates New rate schedules have been adopted by the French Broad EMC board of directors that will be in effect on all bills rendered after Jan. 1, 1978 This rate increase is necessary because of an in crease in wholesale power costs to the cooperative by Carolina Power & Light Co. of approximately 7 5 per cent. Under the regular farm and home residential rate, the monthly minimum charge will increase from $3.50 to $4 All electric residential accounts will also have a $4 monthly minimum Members whose usage is 500 KWH per month or less will see a smaller percentage of increase than those whose usage is about 500 KWH. The percentage of in crease will vary according to the number of kilowatt hours used, with those homes using large amounts of power seeing a larger percentage of in crease than the average coop member. Shown below are rates adopted by French Broad EMC for their North Carolina consumers. SCHEDULE A-2 (Regular farm and home), first 20 KWH, (4 per month ? minimum); next 980 KWH. 4 25 cents per KWH; over 1,000 KWH, 3.2 cents per KWH SCHEDULE AE-2 (all electric), first 20 KWH $4 per month (minimum); next 980 KWH, 4 1 cents per KWH. over 1,000 KWH. 3 1 cents per KWH SCHEDULE GS-2 (small commercial and schools), first 25 KWH, $5 per month (minimum); next 975 KWH, 5.0 cents per KWH; over 1,000 KWH, 3.4 cents per KWH SECURITY LIGHTS: 175 watt luminaire will be $5 per month, and 400 watt luminaire will be $7 75 per month All accounts will still be subject to a purchase power & fuel adjustment clause as this will still be charged to the cooperative by CP&L but this will be considerably less than members were seeing on their bills in the past Long Walk Some 10.000 to 12.000 years ago, it was possible to walk between North America and Asia, scientists say. Travelers, probably wan dering hunters who were forefathers of native Amer icans, crossed between Si beria and Alaska on a broad natural land bridge that ultimately disappeared beneath the rising waters of the Bering Strait.
