(AP) — The 325 residents of flood prone Clinchport, Va., who want to keep their community together, may get $2 million from the Tennessee Valley Authority to move the entire town. TVA’s board of directors will be asked at its meeting next Thursday to approve a project to help pick up the town and move it five miles from its present location near the Tennessee-Virginia border. “TVA is basically buying the town to get the people out of the floodplain,” Lee Boggs, exeuctive director of the Scott County Redevelopment Authority, said Friday. A delegation from Clinchport appeared before the federal agency’s board in July asking for help after 10 of the town’s 100 homes were destroyed and another 58 were heavily damaged by flooding last April. Mrs. Judi Crabtree, a Clinchport schoolteacher, said the rain-swollen banks of the Clinch River in April marked the fourth flood for many of the town’s residents in the past 60 years. “We want to keep our community together,” she said. “We’re all very close to each other.” Mrs. Crabtree said many of the towns’ citizens are retired while the others commute to work in Bristol or Kingsport, about 10 miles to the south across the Virginia- Tennessee line. TVA Chairman Aubrey Wagner has said the agency would try to find the funds to help move the incorporated town to an area where the residents would be safe from flooding. The residents made a similar request in 1973, asking TVA to either build a dam on the Clinch River to control the flooding or to help in relocating the town. However, TVA officials said a cost-benefit study did not justify the project then. TVA officials said Friday the $2 million will be used to buy homes and property on a voluntary basis so that Clinchport’s citizens can rebuild their town on a county owned 90-acre tract near Duffield, Va. The money also will be used to help with the actual moving expenses and TVA will provide technical assistance in designing the new town. The board also is expected to approve next Thursday a $l5O million project to build what would be the nation’s largest coal-washing facility at its Paradise power plant near Drakesboro, Ky. TVA’s staff has recommended going ahead with the project despite a pending revision in Kentucky clean air standards for the plant that would require other an tipollution measures in addition to the washer. The washer would have allowed TVA to continue burn ing relatively high-sulfur coal produced in the area of the plant and meet the existing standards. TVA officials said the washer, which will be able to clean 2,000 tons of coal and hour, is expected to cost SSO million. Related coal-handling facilities push the cost of the project up to $l5O million, they said. The Paradise plant does not now meet clean air stan dards set by Kentucky or the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Carter places wreath on tomb of ‘Soldier’ WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres ident Carter is leading the na tion’s Veterans Day observance by placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. Max Cleland, the head of the Veterans Administration, planned to accompany Carter to today’s ceremony. Cleland lost both legs and an arm in a 1968 grenade explosion in Vietnam. This is the last year the holi day will fall on different dates around the country. Next year all 50 states return to the tradi tional Nov. 11. Forty-seven states have al ready gone back to that date. Only Utah, Hawaii and Wash ington, D.C., are observing it today, while Rhode Island hon ors veterans Nov. 7. For most federal employes, the holiday is today. The confusion began in 1968 when Congress moved several holidays from their traditional dates to Mondays to create more three-day weekends. Since 1919 Veterans Day had been observed on Nov. 11. Be ginning in 1971, the holiday, originally called Armistice Day, was switched to the fourth Monday in October. Most veterans organizations vigorously protested the switch. Some, never acknowledging the change, have continued to hold their ceremonies on Nov. 11. Two years ago, Congress voted to move the holiday back to Nov. 11, but delayed the change until 1978 to accom modate calender manufac turers. OPEN DAILY IM* SUN. 14 - PLACE—- w THSYEAR, BEAR-HEADED!
