4A Kingsport News Wednesday, June 1,1977 D-B Track Continued From Page 1 Actual paving is scheduled to start the week of July 16. The contractor is trying to locate a paving machine which will lay a continuous 28-foot wide strip. Normally, the machines pave a 14-foot strip which leaves a seam in the middle of the road. That seam presents maintenance problems which the-school department is trying to avoid. A one-inch layer of Resilite or its equivalent will be poured over the.

asphalt. Resilite is rubberized asphalt, made from "ground up tires" with a polyurethane binder. It is what makes the track surface springy but tough enough to stand up to metal cleats. Resilite can by dyed any color. Since the track has already cost $284,000 and another $70,000 added next year, some will wonder how any color other than green can be considered.

There's a chance the track-could be left black. Ring said there have been reports from other dyed tracks that the color is "bleeding out," leaving the track owners with a maintenance dilemma much like the sky blue artificial grass the Miami Dolphins play on. D-B track coach Dan Crowe, two of the architects and the contractor are in Knoxville today checking out tracks which will be similar to Kingsport's. They will be looking at the University of Tennessee's track, Knoxville Fulton and Sevierville's Chevron 440 track, the high-priced surface D-B passed on. They will talk about maintenance problems before deciding which color the track should be.

The decision to use the Resilite surface is firm, Ring said, but architect David Leonard will be in Boston later this week talking with the firm which will be doing the work "just to make sure they're going to do it right," Ring said. While all this is going on behind the scenes, the'first signs that a track is being built will appear this week. If the weather holds, the concrete discus, shot put and pole vault pits will be poured. TVA Asks Continued From Page 1 act Etnier worked with TVA in devising a program to transplant the fish in the Hiwassee River where it reportedly has reproduced. TVA also argued that the endangered species act was not meant to halt big federal projects simply because some new form of aquatic, plant or animal life were discovered in the project area.

And the agency contended that Congress had, in effect, exempted Tellico from the law already by continuing to fund the reservoir after being fully informed that certain fish and other aquatic species would be eliminated by the new reservoir." But the Sixth Circuit judges held that the law does apply to Tellico, overturning a ruling the U.S. District Judge Robert L. Taylor in TVA's favor. TVA has launched a twopronged attack on the appeals court ruling, carrying its appeal to the Supreme Court and lobbying with Congress to exempt Tellico from the endangered species act. Rep.

John Duncan, introduced legislation which would exclude Tellico from provisions of the act. While the battle over the snail darter goes on, the Interior Department has identified a group of 20 fresh water snails which might be added to the endangered species list. Twelve of them live in Tennessee waters. One, Anthony's river snail, has been found in the Little Tennessee River, Tellico River and the Nolichucky. Others on the proposed list likely will affect TVA's $142 million Columbia Dam, which already is threatened with federal court action because of a mussel found in the Duck River and listed as endangered.

Body Found Continued From Page 1 With darkness falling Tuesday evening, investigators ordered bystanders and the press off the McQueen Knob Road, then carried the body from the woods onto the grave! road in an effort to get a better look at the body. Tuesday night, sheriff's department spokesmen in Blountville reported that portable lighting equipment had been dispatched to the scene along with a plastic "body bag." Sheriff's department investigators questioned a number residents of the area Tuesday in an effort to determine if anyone had seen any supicious activity in the area. No identification had been made late Tuesday, but officers had recovered a set of rings from the body, and may have uncovered other clues. Investigators withheld official comment on the matter, however. At one point as many as 20 investigators were at the scene Tuesday night.

Besides Gardner, the sheriff's department had investigators Keith Westmoreland, Sherrell Lyon, Harold Walton, and Curtis Taekett on the scene, plus deputies Charlie Arnold and Bud Harr. In addition, Tennessee Bureau of Criminal Identification agent Jim Keesling aided the team of special state investigators at the scene. Rosalynn Continued From Page 1 lined two balconies of the airport terminal overlooking the reception area, and they waved American flags and cheered as Mrs. Carter stepped off the plane. Costa Rica, the only democracy in Central America and a bright light in terms of human rights, has warm relations with the United States.

U.S. officials said there are no bilateral disagreements between the two countries, and Mrs. Carter hopes to discuss human rights at length during her meetings with Oduber in hopes of soliciting his views on how the countries can work together to improve the policies of other Latin American nations. Facio called "understandable but riot acceptable" the criticism that has been leveled against President Carter for interfering in the internal policies of countries with poor human rights policies. "The respect for human rights is today an international responsibility, and its observance has left the purely domestic sphere in which the repressive regimes had strived to keep it," he said.

Facio told Mrs. Carter Costa Ricans' pressure in favor of respect for human rights "is a formidable weapon that, to remain authentic, must be applied equally to the dictatorships on the to those of the right." Mrs! Carter began speaking in English, expressing optimism that the talks here will result in greater friendship between "our two democracies" and that the nations "can work with each other to strengthen the cause of human rights." Then she launched into her Spanish, using a slightly stiff delivery but with a strong and confident voice. The crowd applauded vigorously in response. "It's a great pleasure for me to be here in your beautiful country," she said in Spanish. "My husband and I were here when he was the Governor of Georgia, and I'm very happy to return here.

"We're very impressed by the marvelous country of Costa Rica and Costa Ricans. Thanks very much for your so nice welcome." In Jamaica the first lady said she had been asked by Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley, a close friend of Cuban President Fidel Castro, about the prospects of re-establishing diplomatic rela-, tions with Havana.

Sauer indicated TVA security forces will be relying on shotguns in the event of a takeover attempt.

"We are great believers in shotguns. If you're talking about an assault group coming in, there's hardly anything like a shotgun with buckshot in it. If you're talking about a sniper at long range, then the chances are less that he will injure as many people, and alone, he won't do as much damage to plant property," he said. Sauer said he is confident TVA's nuclear security force will be adequate if an attack ever comes. Funerals Nightclub Continued From Page 1 minimum standards.
