Kite Season Here Again Warns of Kite Dangers
Appalachian Electric Power Company warns about kite flying hazards to about 21 000 students in Raleigh Fayette and Greenbrier counties. Posters inform youngsters to avoid power lines and television antennas, use dry cotton string, and fly kites in open areas away from roads and trees. If a kite touches wires do not climb to retrieve it and seek safety, and consider buying a new kite rather than risk harm.
