4-H'ERS DEBATE DISNEY

Youth 4-H leaders from across Virginia debated the proposed Disney theme park in Northern Virginia during an annual 4-H Congress at Virginia Tech last month.

``I think Disney will encourage people who don't now focus on history to do so,'' Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Becky Norton Dunlop declared, to start the debate.

Responses were divided among the 16- to 19-year-old students, the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation News Leads information sheet reported.

Delphia Taylor of Gloucester questioned whether Disney would bring the type of jobs the community wants. ``But if you're out of a job, you're going to take any type of job to survive. So I think job creation is a good thing.''

Roy Leatherby of Alexandria was concerned about the extensive changes the park would bring. ``I'd rather have the environment, because if you don't have the environment, you don't have people ... or jobs or Disney at all,'' he said.

As part of a problem-solving exercise, the students held discussion groups on Disney and other social issues. Dunlop promised to take their recommendations to Gov. George Allen.

`10 most wanted'

WYTHEVILLE - The Wythe County Sheriff's Office has drawn up another ``10 most wanted'' list.

Fugitives on it this time are Anthony Leon Coffey, Vincent Kyle, Gay L. Butler and George William Drysdale, all for failure to appear in court; Michael Jay Kelly, failure to appear and threatening to kill; Kimberly Dawn Cox, Mark Estep, Theresa Hardy and Jeffrey A. Morton, felony bad check; Gary Wayne Gutherie, larceny.

Anyone with information on any of the individuals listed can call the Sheriff's Office at 223-6000.

The most-wanted list has been successful in snaring fugitives and is now being done in the New River Valley, as well.

Lieutenant honored

WYTHEVILLE - Lt. Kent Vaughan was recently honored by the county Sheriff's Office for 30 years of service.

Vaughan recalled that, when he started in mid-1964, the office had only five deputies, three jailers and a cook. Road deputies had to provide their own cars and got 7 cents for each mile traveled on duty.
