Nominations for Women
of Influence
The second annual awards for Women of Influence will be given
this year to two Appalachian students, a University faculty member, a University
staff member, and a member of one of our surrounding communities. This
award recognizes those women who are not always acknowledged for their
accomplishments or the quality of their everyday work; they are often unsung
heroes. These women work quietly with great compassion for others. They
value diversity and collaborate with others to make a difference in the
lives and communities around them.
Selected recipients will be recognized at the 1999 Women’s
Leadership Conference on Saturday, February 20. Recipients and nominators
will be notified prior to the conference and extended invitations to attend.
Nominations must include:
• The nominee’s name, phone number, and e-mail address
• The category to which the nominee belongs (student,
faculty, staff, or community member)
• The nominator’s name, phone number, and e-mail address
• A one-page description of the nominee explaining why
she is a woman of influence.
For more information or to submit your one-page nomination,
contact:

Helmets Required For
Bicycling
The Town of Boone’s traffic code (Section 71.11) requires
all persons operating bicycles to observe safety requirements. The regulation
is:
71.11 Bicycle Equipment and Operating Regulations.
(A) Preamble. This section is enacted because:
(1) The major cause of death and permanent disability
in bicycle accidents is head injury; and
(2) Helmets and child carrying devices which meet nationally
recognized standards have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the
number of head injuries; and
(3) Many cyclists do not use the appropriate equipment;
and
(4) Incentives are necessary to encourage bicyclists
to wear helmets.
(B) Regulations
(1) Every person operating a bicycle on a public right-of-way
or on any property open to the public or used by the public for pedestrian
or vehicular purposes shall ride on a permanent and regular attached seat.
(2) Every person operating a bicycle on a public right-of-way
or on any property open to the public or used by the public for pedestrian
or vehicular purposes shall wear a helmet of good fit.
(a) Meeting ANSI Z90.4 standards, or
(b) The Snell Memorial Foundation’s 1984 Standard for
Protective Headgear for Use in Bicycling, or
(c) ASTM bicycle helmet standards, or
(d) Subsequent amendment(s) to the bicycle helmet standards
described above.
(3) No person operating a bicycle on a public right-of-way
or on any property open to the public or used for pedestrian or vehicular
purposes shall allow anyone four years old or younger, or weighing 40 pounds
or less, to ride as a passenger on the bicycle other than in a seat which
shall adequately retain the passenger in place, and protect the passenger
from the bicycle’s moving parts; or else astride a regular seat of a tandem
bicycle.
(4) No person operating a bicycle on a public right-of-way
or on any property open to the public or used by the public for pedestrian
or vehicular purposes shall allow anyone to ride as a passenger unless
the passenger is wearing a helmet as defined in (B) or else in an enclosed
trailer or other device which meets or exceeds current nationally recognized
standards of design and manufacture for the protection of the passenger’s
head from impacts in an accident without the need for a helmet. Penalty,
see (section) 70.99
