The^stern Carolinian The Voice of the Students 20 PAGES THURSDAY FEB. 8,1979 Vol. XLIV No. 20 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Jackson County appoints Dicillo new manager BY AL LAGANO and EDDIE YANDLE Jackson County's financially troubled airport has a new fixed-base operator for the private sector of the airport's operations according to Wayne Hooper, chairman of the Jackson County Board of Commissioners. Frank Dicillo, who has worked as a flight instructor at the airport during the last year, has been contracted by the county to continue the private airport operations "at least until the end of this fiscal year." Dicillo will replace Phillip Ramsey, who was relieved of his duties on January 26 after the private sector of the airport fell in debt over $4500 to Jackson County and airport employees. Over $1000 in employees checks, paid by Ramsey, have bounced and Ramsey owes the county between $4500 and $6500 in back payments for rent, gas, and other services. Jackson County, under the agreement with Ramsey, was to receive a percentage of profits made on rent, gas sales, rental of hanger spaces and other services by the airport. Jackson County has since terminated that contract and renegotiated with Dicillo that he and airport employees would receive a set salary plus commissions on various services such as flight instruction. Jackson County will receive all the income Flurries up to 74 Inches from the private sector of the airport, less the salaries and commissions paid out to airport employees. Hooper said the final terms of the contract were agreed upon by Dicillo and county accountant Dan Deitz on Tuesday. Dicillo said the contract has not been signed by the two parties yet but both seem to agree on the proposal. Under the contract Dicillo will be in complete control of the private sector of the airport with the county meeting with him monthly to review the airport's financial position. Hooper said the county was not out to make money off the new agreement but was concerned with meeting debts already incurred. Hooper said he felt Dicillo was a very "reliable kind of person" and was confident of Dicillo's ability to operate the airport. Since Jackson County doesn't own any planes, Dicillo and other flight instructors will probably rent planes from Macon County to continue flight instructions. Macon County ownes and operates two planes. As far as Ramsey is concerned, Hooper said he had been in touch with Ramsey and both parties hoped to settle the financial problem out of court. "It's possible that we could sue," Hooper said, "but I think Mr. Ramsey wants to settle the problem out of court." inside today About this time last year, The Western Carolinian turned its photographers loose to shooot whatever they wanted, and we've taken time to do it all again. See their work displayed on today's centerspread. Some say Its great, some say it stinks... but the WCU cafeteria system Is the subject of an SGA study which In turn is having Its own problems. See page 4 for more. Snow dumped on Carolinas By The Associated Press A winter storm dumping snow, sleet and freezing rain from the mountains to the coast closed schools and businesses across the state yesterday and caused hundreds of minor accidents and traffic snarls. The storm, which blanketed some mountain areas with up to 14 inches of snow, crusted the Piedmont region with up to six inches of snow and dusted the Outer Banks with flurries. Gale warnings were posted along the North Carolina coast. A winter-storm warning remained in effect Wednesday, with snow, sleet and freezing rain expected to taper off last night as the storm moved into Virginia. The snow began late Tuesday afternoon in the mountains and southern Piedmont. The Highway Patrol said the snow line was generally from Rocky Mount west. The patrol said no major accidents were reported due to the storm, although there were hundreds of minor accidents. A patrol spokesman said law enforcement officers across the state had to cope with motorists Western Carolinian Photo Editor Lewis Green caught this hound in the act of teaching this couple how to fetch snowballs... stuck in ditches and massive traffic jams Wednesday morning. In the eastern part of the state, Wilson recorded three inches of snow, Rocky Mount and Goldsboro two inches and Elizabeth City one inch. Charlotte in the southern Piedmont received five inches of snow, while Greensboro and Winston-Salem had six inches. Most of the state's major airports were closed for part of the day Wednesday. The Boone area received about 13 inches of snow and was expected to get another four inches by last night. The temperature was hovering at the freezing mark at 3 p.m. with gusty winds. Tom Corbett, public information officer for Appalachian State University in Boone, said the main roads in Avery and Watauga counties were passable, with some snow and ice patches. But he said secondary roads were impassable. "It's really'a mess," Corbett said. "There are already drifts piled up along the roads from the last snow. And the snow plows are pushing up more on top ofthat." He said schools in Watauga and Avery counties were forced to close again Wednesday. The schools were open on Monday and Tuesday after being closed 10 consecutive days because of bad weather. Ski operators were jubilant, saying they are expecting record crowds this weekend. Most ski resorts are reporting four to six feet of snow on the slopes. Asheville recorded a seven-inch snowfall, along with some sleet and freezing rain. A spokesman for the Asheville Police Department called driving conditions "extremely hazardous" but said all main roads were passable. However, the spokesman said secondary roads in Buncombe and surrounding counties were impassable. The Asheville Airport remained closed until about noon Wednesday until runways could be cleared of snow drifts and ice. A Charlotte woman who could not get to a hospital because of the storm gave birth to a baby girl in a parked car Wednesday morning. Judith Vore received assistance from a city policeman and a newspaper carrier in delivery of the 8'/2-pound baby. Mrs. Vore and her baby were reported doing well at Charlotte Memorial Hospital.
