Perhaps ths vsry diffsrsi^s of the mountains is what makes me feel so drawn to them. This summer I spent a lot of time in the mountains around Boone. The weather was always cool, and it was wonderful to escape on weekends from the pressures of work and school. Not to mention it was a relief to be in a place in the summer where people didn't smear themselves with oil and line up body to body on the sand :d Is le h JS 1J, n e , : p m 1 I H o~ < / WEHT S AMD All i s y ' How Sad Wh e To the editor: This Is to notify the public that all K roads south of U.S. 17 and bounded on UK- itrai oy onauouc itiver, on the n east by 1 ockw ood Kolly Rtvcr and on tlie south by the lntracoastal Waterway are being considered (or closing to the public (those not owning pror perty along said roadways).

My favorite moment at Ramp Fest as watching a 90-year-old woman ressed in a loosely-fitting bright ink polyester pantsuit play her ashboard. She jumped around and layed and sang with such a high icrgy level that a rock star would ave gotten tired watching her. I Pink polyester and white hair mov1 up and down to the bluegrass beat. After her performance she uologized that she was feeling pooror she would have put more into ;r performance. My friend dryly remarked that if I le ever went on tour in good health .'en Prince would have some com;tition. Many of the performers at RamD est had less than a high school lucation, but they were better musians than many people I know with aster's degrees in music. And some people have the nerve to iter to the arts from this area as arimitive" art. One afternoon my friend and 1 ove up to the top of a mountain callI Howard's Knob. It was a steep, irrow road; I think I held my cath most of the way up. My previous idea of "high" had en defined by large sand dunes. Perhaps you've heard of Howard's nob. It's the mountain on which ASA constructed the experimental indmill in Boone. They finally took i down, but the windmill is still a vorite subject of conversation in e area. When we reached the top, it came obvious the drive had been arth it. We were surrounded by mountains i all sides; it was like being in the iddle of a green fro/en ocean. You could even see the profile of randfather Mountain in the stance. I want to see that scene hued in dlows and reds, but I guess there is ways next year. For now I can remember sitting on I huge mossy boulder with my vonte person, enjoying the view I id having an enlightening conversa)n on bunnies and 'possums Who could ask for more'' )lic Interest ason do you have to enter our ivate domain'' It's a sad day when developers id/or individual property owners ek to deny access to that which has en public since the Indians fished, ammed, oystered, swam and enyed.
