appropriate. His lengthy

well worth encouraging and
remembering."

People In Llano County whose
property was damaged in the
recent flooding should be aware
that in some instances new
county permits are required In
order to rebuild. The damage
could also result In a lowering of
property appraisal if reported to
the Appraisal District.
Residences that suffered over
50 percent damage must be
permitted by the county for re-
building, according to County
Judge Howard Coleman. He
emphasized that no permits are
required on outbuildings such
as boat docks or storage sheds.
A form for rendition of taxable
property should be completed
by homeowners whose property
sustained damage. Since prop-
erty values are set as of Jan. 1 of
any given year, damage to boat
docks and other property im-
provements would reflect on the
valuation for the entire year.
Coleman said. Forms are avail-
able at the Appraisal District
Office in Llano, the Long Moun-
tain R.V. Park, Pepper's Steak
House lit Kirtgsland and at the
offices of Justices of the Peace
In precincts 2 and 3.
Coleman also said any new
buildings, whether built in place
or manufactured homes, must
have a development permit. Vi
olation of this requirement
places the county in Jeopardy of
being suspended from the FEMA
Flood Management Program.
This would mean that Llano
County would not be eligible for
fiany federal disaster funding in
the future.

Weight Loss
jSurprises
Researchers
5 WASHINGTON -A nutrition or-
ganization was hopeful that a nutri-
tionally complete "hi-tech** food
tablet would help erase world hunger
problems, until a study revealed that
one of the ingredients could cause
significant weight loss.
. Although other studies and sci-
entists may not agree, researchers in
Europe found that the ingredient, a
natural plant colloid, actually caused
people to lose weight, even though
specifically instructed not to alter
normal eating patterns, according to
pne study published in the prestig-
ious British Journal of Nutrition. Re-
searches in an earlier study had specu-
lated that the weight loss was aue to
a decrease in the intestinal absorp-
tion of calories.
While the project of National Die-
tary Research, aptly named Food
Source One, would not be used to
successfully fulfill its original goal,
the formula which has since been
improved with other natural colloids
has been a windfall for some over-
weight people. A Daytona Beach,
Flonda woman fighting a weight bottle
for 12 years used the product on the
recommendation of her physician and
lost 30pounds. She stated, “Not only
have I lost 30 pounds but my choles-
terol has dropped from 232 to 143.1
have two closets full of clothes which
have not fit me in two years that I can
now wear." In a separate report, a
telephone interview revealed that a
Wilmington, North Carolina phar-
macist lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks on
the product and was never hungry.
Food Source One tablets are part
of National Dietary Research's com-
prehensive plan to bring a rapid end
to obesity in this country. A variety
of nutritionally sound diet plans, spe-
cially prepared by NDR, accompany
each pottle and provide a natural,
drug free alternative for confronting
the problem of obesity.

which received over 50 percent
damage in the flood may be re-
quired to apply for a variance In
order to be allowed to rebuild.
Coleman said. Only new build-
ings are covered by the new
flood plain designations, which
were changed in recent years.
However, buildings which suf-
fered over 50 percent damage
and must be rebuilt may not re-
ceive permits if they are now in
the flood plain.
Violation of the flood plain
building code would subject the
person to a class C misde-
meanor fine of $500 for each day
of violation.
However, Coleman said he
didn't know of any residences In
Llano County which had been
damaged over 50 percent of
their value in recent flooding.

The procedure necessary for a
valid test is to disinfect the well
the night before taking the sam-
ple. Instructions for this step
are included tn the kit. The
sample must be taken on a
Tuesday and refrigerated until it
is delivered to the Marble Falls
oil ice. .
"We are trying to help well
owners in the areas of most se
vere flooding throughout the
river basin and have to operate
on a tight schedule," said
Kolleen Wilwerding, LCRA
director of environmental qual-
ity. "We urge well owners to plan
ahead so that they can follow
the procedures and get the
sample to the pick-up site on
time."
If owners miss the pick up.
they should obtain another
sample testing kit and re take
the sample the next week fol-
lowing directions in the kit.
They will not, however, have to
disinfect the well again.
The samples will be tested by
the LCRA Environmental Labo-
ratoiy in Austin. If there are se-
rious problems with the well
water, laboratoiy personnel will
notify the well owner by tele
phone. All other results will be
mailed. The samples will be
tested for total coliform bacte-
ria, total organic carbon, ni-
trates. and total dissolved
solids. Lead is not included be-
cause It is not flood-relatecj.
Well owners should hear the
full results of their tests in
about two weeks after returning
the sample. Until that time, they
are encouraged to continue
using bottled water or boil their
dr. Approximately 50 people at-
tend with every county repre-
sented.
