ya Tax referendum is the first step to better schools ^ On Tuesday, May 17, Buncombe j {County voters will be asked to go to the ' polls to vote on a referendum to approve !r]a tax rate of up to 20 cents per $100 Evaluation. As much as any of us dislikes paying * additional taxes - and especially so in these difficult economic times - the fact [lof the matter is that additional funds are ^ needed to property supply our schools land in come instances, to provide yiHMMXmaaehers. B is ptmpoaed that the monies raised ^ by this tax levy be returned to individual school districts on a per student basis ^and aDoted by school to be spent as the principal, professional staff and ad visory councils agree. These funds will not be spent on athletic programs; they are intended to meet academic needs. Workbooks, special staff, science lab equipment and enrichment programs are some of the things that could be paid for from these funds. The Owen district generates con siderable revenue and this would be one way of assuring that it is returned to the students here in the Valley. The School Board has passed a motion of intent that the revenue be spent in these ways. The first step in helping our youngsters is to vote "for" on Tuesday. Hie second, and equally important step, is to attend the school board meetings and to make sure that the funds are alloted as stated in the motion of intent. Hie third step is to talk with teachers, principals, and advisory council mem bers about what you believe the needs of the school are where your child spends a major portion of his formative years. Good things won't happen for your child unless you help make them happen. Remember the first step is to go to the polls and vote. PAH {Letters to tAe e^xtor... [RT School year shoutd not be shortened Dear Editor, The Genera! Assembly will awn reconsider whether to repeal legislation 5 which allows local school districts to ^ shorten the length of the school year on ^ their own. That legislation, passed in ** the 1982 session of the General As ' sembly, was a response to the problems i many school systems have in making up g days lost due to inclement weather. ^ Under the law, school districts can ^ decide not to make up as many as five Hays. In other words, in some of our school districts, the school year has been reduced from 180 to 175 days. Our children are growing up in a complex and difficult world-far more complex and difficult than the one we grew up in. When there is so much more to ieam, it does not make sense to reduce the amount of time we provide for the teaming of our children. One of the arguments put forth in favor of allowing school districts to waive five days is that making up days in the heat of June is too hard. Working in hot weather is part of being a human being. Certainly, hot weather makes learning more difficult than fine spring weather. When, however, did we arrive at the notion that conditions must be perfect for learning to happen? 1 do not want my own children thinking that everything has to be just right in order for them to learn, and I doubt that most folks in this state feei any differently. We have a good state school system, one that I would put up against any in the land. Our children, however, cannot compete well against children in other areas if they do not leam as much as those other youngsters. Our children need more education, not less. Reducing the amount of time they spend in school is a step backward. It is very important that the General Assembly repeal the legislation which has resulted in less education for too many of our children. Sincerely, C D. Spangler, Jr., Chairman N.C. State Board of Education Car! Mumpower Living and Growing All Ain't What !t Seems We live in a worid of false faces. Masks, walls, and painted faces conceal ;a variety of tarnished realities. Highly deceptive, and sadly effective, these many covers confuse us as to what's true and what's false about the compl icated business of life. - Take the person who's called cocky, egotistical, or big-headed. On the outside the package looks pretty tight. Confidence shines out and power is visibly in hand. Yet if this is true, that the image outside is designed to distract us from the less appealing realities that are going on inside. The theme with this person is not so much confidence as the lack of it. Rather than a sense of power, there's a fear of having too little. In -fhort, all the bravado is a con job designed to hide the fear and insecurity beneath it all. Another good example is the food we *at. White bread that looks good and pastes good, but has little nutrition and Jots of additives. Apples on our grocer's pooler shelf may look great, but how pften have you bought one that tastes Hke cardboard. The classic example is Jhat nice looking roast. You know the one that has the meaty side up, fat side down, and takes a chain saw to slice. 9nce again, we discover that looking good and being good are two entirely different things. Once in a bar in Saigon, I met a very jpretty lady who told me that she had Worked in bars when the French $oldiers had been in her country. Simple arithmetic told me that she must be a fairly old woman, but her appearance indicated that she, like me, was in her teens. Closer scrutiny made me aware of the false eyelashes, wig, padded bra, heavy make-up and dim lights, loud music, alcohol, capped teeth and the like that helped subtract fifteen years off of this lady's life. I was naive, but not altogether blind, and at the end of my beer, moved on to younger pastures. It was, like many of my experiences there, an early lesson in some of the deceptiveness of our world. Then there's my old friend from Iran, the Ayatolla. Remember him? He was the guy who was going to save his country from the abuses of the Shah. Well, it is true that a lot of his followers no longer have to worry about the Shah. In fact many of his followers will no longer have to worry about muds of anything. Looking like someone's sweet old grandpa doesn't necessarily mean that one thinks and acts like one. So, take care to look a bit deeper than the package. Be it a husband, job, used car, politician, home, spiritual direc tion, or revolutionary leader. What's on the outside may be a whole lot different than what's going on inside. Look closely, look long, and look wisely. Our eyes and their appearance may not tell us the whole story. A bad roast is one thing, but if we're not careful we might wind up being roommates to another Ayatolla. . . Raleigh addresses of N.C. Representatives Honorable Marie W.

This is just one of several federal programs that apply In the majority of states Medicaid Acts also recognize doctors of chiropractic as primary health care providers. As people get older they are often bothered by structural problems such as degenerative joint disease or arthritis and many other problems related to the spine and the nervous system connected to it. Pain and stiffness are common complaints that can often benefit from chiropractic treatment. The doctor of chiropractic is a specialist in treating disorders that involve the spine and nervous system, and all the parts of your body that depend on these structures for normal functioning. H you are feeling any pain or discomfort in your neck, back, or some other part of your body, you may be able to benefit from a chiropractic examination and treatment. H you have medicare insurance, it is comforting to know that your coverage includes chiropractic care. Swannanoa VaHey Ch!raprac(ic Dr Murray Croonttpam Rt 70, Bax !45 Btack Moantato, C.
