Schools Save
<15000 On Fuel
m
Price negotiations during
tho past two weeks resulted
in a savings of approximately
$15,000 in thfe purchase of
No. 2 fuel oil for the school
system.
Superintendent L.S. Guy
to|d the board of commis
sioners several weeks ago
that the system needed
^?200 gallons of fuel to
Vnlast its underground tanks t
until they could be filled for
the next school year. At that
time, the state bid price for
No. 2 fuel oil was $1.18 per
gallon.
Since oil prices have been
dropping and the oil wasn't
needed immediately, the
county commissioners, asked
to advance the money for the
oil to the school system out of
year's budget, directed
Wiv to look into current oil
pricey
puy reported last week
that he could buy the oil from
F.&B Oil Co. of Wallace for
88.5 cents Der Ballon, a
savings of 29.5 cents a gallon
from the state bid price. Guy
said he was the told the price
had bottomed out.
^The board authorized Guy
mspend $48,321 for the fuel,
which includes the state and
local sales tax.
if the county commis
sioners had purchased the oil
for the county government,
they could have filed for a
rebate of the sales tax. The
school system must pay sales
tax. However, the countv
commissioners are not
authorized to make direct
^rchases for school pur
poses, despite the fact they
appropriate local tax funds to
the school systems.
County finance officer
Russell Tucker told the board
that several years ago the
county commissioners
authorized direct purchase of
a computer for the schools
and collected the sales tax
rebate. The county govern
^ nt had to return the sales
tax to the state as a result of
turning the equipment over
to the school.
In other business, the
commissioners approved
revision of costs of land
treatment measures for the
Limestone-Muddy Creek
Watershed project. Kenneth
Futreal, county soil conser
vationist, asking for the ap
proval before submitting the
revision to the state soil
conservation office in
Raleigh to send to federal
1 authorities.
The land treatment costs
will be borne by the federal
government if the project is
funded.
The commissioners, by a
split vote, adopted the state
wildlife commission's
recommendations for anter
less deer hunting areas and
dates in the county.
Dec. 1-8 will be set aside
for hunting anterless deer.
The area lies southeast of the
boundary formed by N.C. 11,
N.C. 24. N.C. 41 and S R.
101 in the southeastern part
of the county. Voting for the
recommendation were Com
missioners W.J. Costin.
Allen Nethercutt and Calvin
Turner, chairman. Voting
against was Commissioner
Franklin Williams. D.J.
Fussell abstained.
Tucker told the board the
county's revenue sharing
allocation for the current
fiscal year will be $837,095.
This will be about $16,000
less than previously esti
mated.
The commissioners will sit
as a board of equalization
and review at 11:30 a.m.
May 3 and 17 at the court
house.
Important Facts
About Rabies
Rabies is a preventable
, disease that can attack man,
dog, cat, fox, raccoon, skunk,
bat, or other warm-blooded
animals (except rodents). It
is caused by virus present in
the saliva of a rabid animal.
The rabies virus reaches
the brain by way of the
nerves and once rabies de
velops, it is always fiital to
both man and animals. How
ever. if started soon enough,
antirabies treatment in
humans will prevent the
disease from developing in
most cases.
Rabid animals show dif
ferent symptoms. In the dog
or cat, one of the first
symptoms is a changed per
sonality and disposition. If
your animal is sick, seek the
advice of your veterinarian
and follow his recommenda
tions.
.l.lliie Rabies
Rabies in dog6 and cats
has iot increased in North
Carolina, but there has been
an ihcrease in the wildlife
population south of us in
recent years. Beware of any
wild animal seen in the
daytime and which seems
friendly. These animals are
sick and may have rabies.
Normally, the fox. rpcoon
and skunk forage from sun
down until dawn and avoid
people. When they become
ill from rabies, they have a
complete change in person
ality, roam great distances at
any time and lose all fear of
man. They will invade farm
yards and buildings, chase
chickens and even enter
homes and cars if the door is
open. They will attack and
bite any animal or person
who gets in their way.
Rabies can be introduced
into our wildlife population at
any time. Care should be
used in handling foxes, rac
coons. skunks and other
wildlife which appear to be
sick or dead.
Bat rabies is present in the
majority of states and may
play a role in the spread
among other wildlife.
Caution should be used in
handling bats. It is best to
leave them alone. Bats do not
normally perch on porches or
hide in shrubbery in the day
time. One should never try to
administer to what appears
to be a wounded or crippled
bat. It would not be there if it
were healthy. Children
should be warned of thia ,
danger.
In 1981, there were 19
cases of rabies in bats found
in North Carolina. Also, in
1981, there were more caaea
of rabies found in cats than
dogs in South Carolina. Some
of these cases were along the
South Carolina/North Caro
lina border.
Recently pet skunks pur
chased from pet dealers in
various states have been
found rabid and were
trapped from the wild. Wild
animals do not generally
I ?
make satisfactory pets. It is
. not recommended that wild
animals be kept as household
pets. Any captured wild
animal may have been ex
posed to rabies and hay
develop the disease as long
as sis months after capture.
No rabies vaccines are avail
able to immunize wild ani
mals.
What to Do M Bitten
In every case of animal
bite or scratch, see your
physician at once. As a first
aid precaution, wash all
animal bites immediately
and thoroughly for 15-2Q
minutes with a warm soqA
solution. Notify your dog*
warden and local health de
partment. Biting animals
should be captured if pos
sible. If capture is not pos
ftble safely,'the animal
should be killed and held for
the do^ warden.
