  • western ■ • • arolinian Around The State I news February 4,1998 Young to Run for T-Shirt Sale Supports Congress in 11th District Special Olympics Buncombe County Commissioner andbusinessman David Young has announced he will be a candidate for Congress in the Eleventh Congressional District. "I seek this office to represent and speak for the many thousands of individuals in our district who are not being heard in Washington today," Young told an enthusiastic crowd of supporters at the Buncombe County Courthouse in Asheville on last Monday. "The politicians in Washington are simply out of touch with real people and real lives," Young said. "They say things have never been better. Well, that may be true for politicians, but it's not true for many of the people I speak to in Western North Carolina." Speaking to what kind of Congressman he wants to be, Young said, "I am a listener. I enjoy getting out of my office and spending time with the people to make things work in Western North Carolina. When you talk with people, you find out their concerns firsthand. That is the kind of Congressman I will be for the people of the Eleventh District." Young, 38, is an owner in Fugazy Travel, a small business with offices in several counties in the Eleventh District. He is serving his second term as a Buncombe County commissioner and is a member of the Asheville Airport Commission. Young has been instrumental in efforts to improve schools, parks and recreational facilities, and libraries in Buncombe County. He chaired the Buncombe County Schools Foundation—a private partnership that raises funds to purchase computers, lab equipment and other teaching resources for the Buncombe County Schools. "Washington has plenty of talkers," Young added. "It needs more people who listen to the concerns and understand the real-life problems of people who are working hard to pay their bills, educate their children, and save for retirement. That is the approach that I will take in Congress." David Young and his wife, Leigh, live in Asheville. They have two daughters, Ashley and Kathryn.

Special Olympics RALEIGH—Law enforcement officers across North Carolina have pledged to raise $850,000 for Special Olympics North Carolina by selling T-shirts and baseball caps to support the 1998 N.C. Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. The 1997 N.C. Torch Run raised over $681,000, placing it second in the nation and fourth in the world for total funds raised. The multi-color T-shirt features a runner carrying the Flame of Hope across North Carolina, and the back has a list of Torch Run sponsors and last year's top fund-raisers. The embroidered Torch Run cap is khaki with a dark green bill and also depicts a runner carrying the Flame of Hope. "The Torch Run has a major impact on Special Olympics because it is our largest special event fund raiser," said Keith L.Fishburne, president of Special Olympics N.C. "We couldn't provide the quality sports training and competition program that we do without the efforts of the officers through the Torch Run." The goal for 1998 is to raise $850,000 through T-shirt and cap sales, donations, special events and corporate sponsorships. Approximately 35,000 T-shirts and 5,000 baseball caps have been ordered for the fund raiser. The T-shirts and caps are $ 13 each. Presented by GlaxoWellcome and the N.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, the 2,000- mile, 13-day relay involves over 2,500 law enforcement officers from nearly 200 law enforcement agencies across the state. CellularOne/ GTE Wireless is a silver sponsor. Bronze level sponsors include BFI, Carolina House, Carolina Hurricanes, Equitable, Ericsson, Fraternal Order of Police, Hanes, Klingspor Abrasives, Kroger, Manpower, Nissan, North Carolina Troopers Association, SAS Institute, Sports Authority and T-Shirt Specialty. Raleigh Police Lieutenant Mike Teem, who volunteers as the N.C. Torch Run Director, implemented a state-wide incentive program in 1992 enabling the Special Olympics North Carolina Torch Run to grow from $ 131,000 that year to over $681,000 in 1997. Teem is also the first North Carolinian to be inducted into the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Hall of Fame. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is an international event to raise money for Special Olympics, which provides year-round sports training and competition to people with mental retardation. The N.C. Torch Run will begin May 12 in Asheville. The run will end in Raleigh on May 29 at Hardee's Walnut Creek Amphitheater for the lighting of the cauldron during the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics N.C. Summer Games. Those interested in purchasing a cap or T-shirt may visit the Asheville Police Department or WCU's Office of Public Safety.

WCU to Host Prospective Teaching Fellows by James Carter High school seniors with hopes of becoming North Carolina's next batch of Teaching Fellows will meet at WCU this Saturday, February 7. The meeting will help the seniors learn more about WCU's Teaching Fellow program and will give the prospects the chance to speak with WCU Teaching Fellow faculty and students. Carol Burton, who directs WCU's Teaching Fellows program, says that about 60 program semifinalists from across the state are expected to visit. This "recruitment day" will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Taft Botner Room of Killian Building. Established Catamount Teaching Fellows will be given the chance to speak to the prospects about such things as college life, the Teaching Fellows Program, and the extracurricular activities offered through WCU's program. If chosen as Teaching Fellows, the high school seniors will receive $20,000 over four years of college in exchange for four years worth of teaching in North Carolina's public school system, as well as the recognition of being part of one of the nation's most renowned teacher scholarships. \<J/SkL FORD MERCURY r DUNNAHOE SHAW BACKS THE CATS!
