Board Passes New
Town Ordinances
The Burnsville Town
Board announces the adoption
of four new ordinances
dealing with parking, littering _
on public and private proper
ty, the creation of unneces
sary noise, and loitering in
public places. Elsewhere in
this issue of the Journal, the
ordinances*are printed in full.
~ The new town regulations
in the main consist of'
updating older ordinances
previously on the books.
Revisions have been made in
a number of instances to
reflect changed conditions,
such as the removal of
parking metiers in the down
town area. Other changes
have been made in response
to numerous suggestions from
the town’s citizens for needed
improvements. The new or
dinances relative to littering,
noise and loitering all incor
porate suggested changes,
and the Board believes that all
will improve the quality of
living within Burnsville.
All four new ordinances
largely follow models furnish

ed by the N.C. League of
Municipalities, and are quite
similar to regulations apply
ing in many other towns in
North Carolina.
Enforcement of the park
ing ordinances will be by the
issuance of violation tickets by
the Town Police, imposing a
penalty of two dollars, pay
able to the Town Clerk at the
Burnsville Town Office. Fail
ure to make the penalty
payment will be followed by
issuance by the police of a
warrant requiring appearance
at the District Court. The
minimum court cost of $25
which became effective July
first, will make failure to pay
the violation ticket a quite
expensive matter.
The new ordinance of most
concern to Yancey County
people is the one dealing with
parking. This specifies the
areas where two-hour parking
applies, and also the limited
area near the post office,
where only brief parking is
permitted. These areas are
now marked with informative
signs, but in the absence of
penalties some people have
been failing to observe the
time limits. Regulation of
parking is recognized as
essential if the business
district is to serve the public
as a convenient place for
shopping, hanking and other
transactions.

Cast As Sisters In This Week’s Production
Tittle Women ’ Is
Parkway Charmer
This week for their third
production the Parkway Play
house Company is presenting
the classic charmer Little
Women and its blend of
ftfimor and heartbreak is
unforgettable. The production
will be at the Playhouse
through Saturday with curtain
time at 8:30 p.m.
Under the skilled direction
of veteran Parkway director
Lauren K. (Woody) Woods,
it seems as though the
characters and locales of
Louisa May Alcott’s novel
have leapt right off the page
and onto the Parkway stage.
Appropriately, the four
sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and
Amy, dominate the play and
four of Parkway’s loveliest
actresses adorn the stage as
the Little Women. Standing
out is Kim Hanabergh as the
'tomboyish Jo, opinionated,
funny, and very touching as
she blooms into a woman.
Miss Hanabergh commands
the stage and her presence
alone is worth a trip to the
Playhouse. However, this
production has much more to
offer. Susan Mickey appears
as the ill-fated Beth and her
charm and sweetness become
heartbreaking when we learn
of her fatal illness. Miss
Mickey is able and attractive.
Jane Fesmire gives a marve
lous performance as the
delightfully giddy Amy, alter
ego of Jo, and her confronta
tions with Miss Hanabergh
are among the dramatic
highspots. Miss Fesmire is
hilarious, but also fine in her
more serious moments. As
the fourth and oldest of the
Little Women, Linda Hicks is
a lovely and controlled Meg.
She gives a strong and
attractive performance.
As fine as the Little
-Women are, they are matched
by an equally fine supporting
cast. Valerie Coyne (memor
able as the Mother Abbess
singing "Climb Every Moun
tain” in The Sound Os Mask)
appears as Marmee, mother
of the girls and she is
excellent. Phil Hafer is Father
of the brood and is quite
loveable. Hannah the house
boy-next-door who loves Jo
but marries An,,. is^pl.£d
marries Meg and gives a
strong performance. Jamey
_ w
10 c
raves at everyone and every
thing.
The atmospheric sets by
James Parker do much to give
the production the accurate
period flavor (the Civil War)
and Kaye Brown’s costumes
are beautiful.
Director Woods has han
dled the play with loving care
and staged the production
with his usual fine flair and
eye for the details that make a
play unforgettable.
Little Women is a fine
evening’s entertainment.
Don’t miss it. Reservations
can be made—by calling
682-6151.
