Windy Mountain Learning Center Seeks Funds to Keep Staff
Windy Mountain, a non-traditional high school in Bluefield run by Mrs. Cundee Price, relays a relaxed yet strict rule set for 16 to 21 year olds pursuing GEDs. The center relies on grants, notably a $135,000 CETA grant, and seeks $5,000 to retain a reading disability specialist, with additional funds sought from the Mercer County Commission to cover salaries and building repairs.

Mercer County Magistrate Demands Appearances to Curb Non-Appearances
Mercer County Magistrate David Pedneau announces subpoenas to compel appearances by complainants, officers, and attorneys in criminal hearings to reduce chronic non-appearances. If attendees fail to appear after notice, cases may be dismissed or held for contempt. The plan follows a rise in caseload from 15,000 in 1979 to 20,000 in the past year, with 1981 expected busier.
