C. 15 CENTS PER COPY July 23, 1974 Ml Region B Hears Dissent To Relocation Of Family Planning Staff By BILLY PRITCHARD Citizen Staff Writer Opposition over the transfer of a regional family planning staff out of the Buncombe County Health Department into the Region B Planning and Economic Development Commission offices has caused a snag in the im plementation of a state In tergovernmental Human Services Program iIHSPi. The problem came to light Wednesday at a meeting of the Region B Commission, which formally changed its name to the I-and of the Sky Regional Council at a meeting at 85 Mountain St. Dr. H.W. Stevens, Bun combe County health director, brought the matter of the family planning staff transfer to the council's attention by way of a resolution from the Buncombe County Board of Health, for which Stevens serves as secretary. The resolution notes that 85 per cent of the people receiving regional family planning services do so at the family planning clinic located in the Buncombe Health Department, which has housed a combined regional and local family planning staff Rev. George A. Moore -Accepts Pastorate In Tennessee The Rev. George A. Moore who has served for three and a half years as Resident Pastor of the Madison County Presbyterian Paris (Hot Springs, Walnut and White Rock Churches i has accepted the pastorate of Rock Creek Presbyterian Church near Erwin, Tenn. Mr. Moore resigned from the Madison County Parish on June 30 and actually began his new pastorate on July 1. He and Mrs. Moore and two daughters, Jennie and Janice, moved on Tuesday of this week from their home bet ween Marshall and Walnut to their new home near Erwin. Mr. Moore was an insurance official before coming to Asheville in Juner 1966, from Baltimore. Md., to attend UN'C-A. He came to Madison County when he preached hit second sermon, ever in November, 1967; He aerved the Madison . County Presbyterian Parish as Student Pastor for three years and after being ordained he 'became resident pastor. Mrs. Moore is the former Miss Moselle Moss. They have three daughters. Misses Jennie and Janice Moore and Mrs. Julia Williams. In addition to his devoted work as pastor of the three Madison County churches, he is the originator of Glory Ridge, a 30-acre development rer Walnut which was rarv-d in 1372. This pie t irf , ?e area is st '.1 under cv-'tnKt. i aril "! tie in if r! ot, mat lor s I Ym Cf:-' ; tl I ( ;?!, . f s a r J ' -.s 'if , J i r t . . 'n f..if O.", I tlf :'1 for several years. Although the health board expresses approval of the IHSP in general in the resolution, R. Curtis Ratcliff of the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners, it also asks the Region B council to recondsider the transfer of the family planning staff. "The Comprehensive Kamily Planning Program is a health program and should remain under the ad ministration of a health agency, and the Buncombe County Health Department has demonstrated its ability to administer and operate an outstanding regional family planning program," the resolution states. The resolution calls to Ratcliff's attention that Buncombe County provides nearly 70 per cent of the local support funds i $42,444 1 to the regional family planning program and has already appropriated an additional $26,000 for expansion and remodeling of space in the county health building for the regional staff. Under the proposed IHSP merger, the regional family planning director, William Mashburn, two of his staff members and the public forts that Glory Ridge became a reality and although not completed it is already a spot to enjoy, relax, and worship. Mr. Moore was also active in the growth and develop ment of Madison County and is, indeed, one of the most respected and beloved pastors ever to reside in Madison County. He is co-chairman of the Madison County Bicen tennial Committee, an en thusiastic member of the Madison County Boosters Club, an ardent Patriot football fan, and in addition to his many duties has also aided in the American Red Cross campaigns and the Aston Park Hospital projects. Mrs. Moore, generally known as "Mozell", is also highly popular with all ages and has been an inspiration in all her husband's endeavors. Their sincere feeling about the people of Madison County is summed up in the following message from them: "We leave much love for people of Madison County and take their love and our fond memories of this experience with us." 4-H Congress In Raleigh The annual State 4-H Congress is meeting July 22-26 on the campus of N. C. State University. All outstanding -Hers from the 100 counties and the Cherokee Reservation in X. C. are meeting through the week. District demon stration winners will compete in the State finals for prizes, scholarships and an op : port unity, to ' compete ' nationally. Special speakers will be invited, the State Health King and Queen will be crowned, 4-H'ers from Georgia, Maryland, Penn sylvania, .Tennessee . and Virginia will be present to share ideas and a new slate of . state officers will be elected to name a few of the week's events.

' s ' V i i " M-tt.'.I f.'um health educator would be moved to the Region B Council's temporary staff headquarters on Merrimon Avenue, where it recently moved. Dr. Stevens said such a transfer would cripple the operations of the current family planning ad ministration in the Buncombe Health Department and remove the regional staff from the center of the operation the family plan ning clinic in the health department. As a compromise, the county health board asks that no more than 10 per cent of the federal $165,000 grant, or $16,500, be allocated for the regional family planning staff to be housed in Region B headquarters, rather than the $68,000 currently appropriated for regional administrative expenses. The Region B council took no official action on the family planning proposal Wed nesday, deferring action until after the Region B Family Planning Advisory Bo ird can consider a solution to the matter. The council also recorded a dissenting vote Wednesday concerning another phase of the IHSP, which calls for the regional council staff to ad minister a three-county man power program, thus reducing the role of the Buncombe Madison Opportunity Corporation.

After the third ballot only Norton and Joseph El Kouri of Andrews were in the contest, and Buncombe was not ready to vote when the roll of the counties was called on the fourth ballot. Hugh Stevens, Buncombe County Democratic party chairman, made a plea for a five-minute caucus, but was shouted down by delegates from other counties. Rep. Iiston B.
