  • Page 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN TUESDAY MAY 6, 1975 Plan drafted for developing park (FROM PAGE 1) fore it's too late to do something about it." Reibe hopes to avoid further strip developments in places such as Cherokee and the heavy- construction on Hood plains that have plagued and blighted the mountain towns that have developed haphazardly. But the group here can only make suggestions, and the county commissioners in the area have not been impressed with land useplanningof federal planners telling them how tode- velop their counties. As one federal forest ranger put it, "They don't trust us worth a damn." His feeling echoed many others' scepticism over their plan's acceptability. But Reibe hoped to win the commissioners' respect and offer them the data the group used in making their analysis. Over the past year, the region's soil has been analyzed for construction suitability and visitors and residents have been questioned about what they would like to see in the area. Reibe said the mountain people were proud, independent and did not like outsiders telling them what to do. "But somehow you've got to help people without themknowingyou're helping them," he said. By offering the commissioners the data collected and used here, Reibe hoped the commissioners would make the same conclusions reached here. But he also wanted to make amends where the federal government has apparently abused the counties in past years. In 1943 the federal government agreed to replace a Swain County road flooded by Fontana Lake by an alternate 40- mile route around the north side of the lake. Only nine mijes have been completed and work stopped due to the land's inability to support construction. Meanwhile, Swain's economy has faltered, its population has dropped about 10 per cent in 20 years, and its tax base has been reduced by the federal government's take-over of 80 per cent of its land. It blames its problems on Washington's failure to meet the road agreement. At the meeting here, there was considerable support for building an alternate "Trans- Mountain Road" which was halted by conservationists in 1968 and would have connected Bryson City in Swain County with Townsend, Tennessee. Many here thought it would revive Swain's economy and handle the traffic problems at the same time. However, Bob rarmer, a representative of 22 conservationist groups in the area, said there would be national opposition to any attempt to build the road originally stopped by his groups in 1968. Farmer said he could not support road construction through the park due to its fragile eco-system. However an alternate "Circumferential Highway" that would be constructed south of the park and Fontana Lake connecting Bryson City and Fontana Dam was not opposed. **************************** Victory over Erskine tops off golf team's season * * * * * * * * * * * THE BOOK STORE HALLMARK CARDS and ASSORTED GIFTS for MOTHER'S DAY Monday - Saturday 8:30—5:30 586—2463 Main Street in Sylva * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Western Carolina University's golf team swept to a convincing 38 stroke victory over Erskine College last Thursday, and finished the regular season yesterday with a strong 15-2 record in dual meets.
