Attention owners of power skis: lake associations arc beginning to enact restrictions on the usage of Jet Skis. Starting Aug. 1, the Lake Wylie (S.C.) Marine Commis sion will require any 13-15-year-olds operating a power ski to have a photo ID showing that they've completed a three-hour boating safety class. Preteens will be banned altogether. Lake Norman (N.C.) Marine Commission is considering similar measures. Tickets will be issued to those teenagers that haven't com pleted the course, and to anyone who is found skiing recklessly. Jumping wakes within 50 feet of boats will also net a skier a ticket. Power skis are fun, but can be dangerous. Perhaps some sort of safety measures might be con sidered on Lake Lanier and Lake Adger? What's happening: There will be a childbirth preparation class at St. Luke's Hospital starting July 8.

N C 28782 No Athletics In Academic Hours Polk County students will no longer be headed for the locker room while classes arc still going on, unless it's PE class they're headed to. The Polk County Board of Education on Monday night approved on first reading a policy which would prohibit regular season athletic events from being scheduled "prior to the end of the last scheduled class of the day." The Western North Carolina Superintendents' Council Athletic Committee proposed the measure after studying the amount of lost school time due to athletic events. "Students were missing more time than we realized," Supt. James F. Causby told the board. He said he believes all western regional school boards will adopt the policy. A main culprit in taking students out of class has been golf team participation, Dr. Causby said. As part of the new policy, the board agreed to limit all regular season golf matches to 9 holes. "South Carolina has already gone to 9-hole matches," he said, and other Region 8 schools will likely do the same. The new policy must be given a second reading before becoming part of Polk County Schools' policy manual.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, thus obscuring all or part of the sun's light. This Thursday, July 11th, a total solar eclipse will occur, the eclipse will be total along a narrow path that crosses Hawaii, the mid-Pacific and parts of Mexico, Central and South America, however all of the continental United States will experience the partial phases of the eclipse. In the two Carolina's the eclipse will begin at approxi mately 2:38 p.m. when the moon will begin its trek across the face of the sun. The moon will be crossing the sun from west to cast and will cover more and more of the sun as time passes. Mid-eclipse will occur at 3:33 p.m. when one-third of the sun’s disk will be covered by the moon. After mid-eclipse the moon will move slowly off the face of the sun. IJie eclipse will end at 4:26 p m. when no part of the sun will any longer be obscured by the moon. WARNING: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN, IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR EYESIGHT.
