Much Interest Shown
In Red Fox CC Bids
Over 20 letters of interest in
purchase of the Red Fox Coun
try Club have been received,
but no formal sealed bids have
been filed.
Individuals, groups or com
panies interested in purchasing
the Red Fox Country Club, golf
course and 109 unsold residen
tial lots have until July 3 to
submit sealed bids for the prop
erty, said Allen Fleming, a
member of Hatfield Phillips, the
asset management company for
The Resolution Trust Co.
(RTC), the substitute trustee on
the deed for the golf course and
unsold residential lots.
Though Fleming said that he
does not expect to receive
sealed bids until the July 3
deadline, The Club at Red Fox
organization has mailed "what
we consider to be a competitive,
all-cash bid," said Larry Heath,
chairman of the acquisition
committee for The Club at Red
Fox.
The Club at Red Fox pre
sented a joint bid with a group
of 10 members who bought the
109 unsold lots, Heath said.
Should they be granted the bid,
the Club at Red Fox will own
the deed to the country club and
golf course, and the 10 private
investors will own the deeds to
the unsold lots, he explained.
However, though the sealed
bids will be opened July 3, the
winner will not be notified until
July 10, Heath reported.

Sharon Case Randall
Landrum Graduate
Syndicates Column
Sharon Case Randall, a 1966
graduate of Landrum High
School, has recently syndicated
a column of personal reflections
and observations that she began
writing for The Herald in
Monterey, Calif.
"Bay Window" is the name of
her column which she began
writing in 1991 at the age of 43,
but which she first thought of
writing when she was eight.
Randall started at The Herald
in Monterey as a librarian in
1982 and moved into the Sun
day Department as a feature
writer in 1986. Since then, she
has written about issues such as
hunger and child abuse, and
reported on area events ranging
from the Butterfly Parade and
the Feast of Lanterns, to the
1987 visit of Pope John Paul II
and the Loma Prieta earthquake
of 1989. She has also profiled
individuals including actress
Doris Day, astronaut Alan
Bean, Dr. Benjamin Spock,
writer Iris Rainer Dart and oth-

Legislative Update
Whether or not North Caro
lina continues to allocate avera-
ge-daily-attendance funding
for out-of-state students is now
the decision of a Conference
Committee of selected House
and Senate members.
The House budget bill does
not cut funding for out-of-state
students attending N.C. public
schools, but the Senate budget
bill, as does the Governor's
budget, does, reported Superin
tendent James Causby. Wide
differences in the budget bills
passed in both houses of the
legislature mandate that a Con
ference Committee be formed
from appointed members of
both houses to resolve the dif
ferences, he explained.
Dr. Causby made a quick,
one-day trip to Raleigh
Wednesday to plead the case of
Polk County Schools, which
stands to lose in the range of
$150,000 should funding for
border-line South Carolina
students be cut.
Approximately 45 South
Carolina students attend Polk
County Schools at a cost-per-
family of assessed local taxes
designated for the schools.
However, these students arc
spread widely through grades
K-12. If they were no longer
allowed to attend Polk County
Schools, there are not enough in
each class to cut a teacher posi
tion, save room or save money
in any way.
As of Thursday, the Confer
ence Committee had not been
