Quick Ride To Jail Springs
For Local Man Reports
This Place, That Time
Before the turn of the century at church it was a common
practice for the female members to be seated on the
right-hand side of the center aisle of the sanctuary and
the male members on the left, thus dividing the families
as to their seating. Young children, both ma’e and
female, were seated with their mothers, perhaps for
disciplinary reasons, while older boys went with their
fathers to the left-hand side.
Lee B. Weathers, The Living History of Cleveland County
A.car theft lasting 29 minutes last Thur
sday may result in as much as two years
in jail for a Boiling Springs man.
Robert Lane Calltdian, 18, was arrested
Thursday sitting inside a 1978 Chevrolet
Monte Carlo 29 minutes after the vehicle
was reported stolen to Shelby police. The
car was parked behind Jackson’s Cafeteria
at Highway 74.
A volunteer fireman had spotted the car
and followed it to Jackson’s. Brian
Hawkins, with the Cleveland Volunteer Fire
Department, heard the police report of the
-theft in his scanner car radio at 12-;08
a.m. and remembered he had passed a
car with the reported tag number.
“The only reason I remembered the tag
number is that I’m taking a course in
basic police training at Cleveland Tech,”
said Hawkins, grandson of a Cleveland
County sheriff, in an interview Monday.
“Our instructor had told us to try to
remember tag numbers of cars as we
drove, and I remembered that I had passed
that car.”
After following the car to Jackson’s,
Hawkins alerted police with his radio.
Three Shelby patrolmen arrested Callahan
at 12:37 a.m.
A 15-year old juvenile also was detained.
Some damage was reported to the Monte
Carlo.
Car theft in North Carolina is punish
able by as much as two years in jail,
a large fine, or both. Bond for Callahan
was set at $5000.

Clean Air Act: Two Interviews
Two men will meet in a Washington office next
month who together largely will determine the safety
of the air we breathe, the acidity of rain that falls on
our crops, and the way our money is spent on the
environment.
Rep. James T. Broyhill, congressman whose 10th
district includes Cleveland County, and Dr. Russell
W. Peterson, former governor who is president of the
National Audubon Society, will meet at Broyhill’s
office this September when Congress reconvenes to
discuss Broyhill’s amendments to the Clean Air Act:
House Bill 3471.
((
Tve met with
Gov. Peterson.
On some issues we
we came to an
agreement, and on
some we didn’t.
Rep. Broyhill
Both Broyhill and Peterson are conservative
Republicans; both have worked in North Carolina as
corporate executives; both men, middle-aged, are
considerate and polite in manner; and both Broyhill
and Peterson possess the successful politician’s
instinct to avoid confrontation and seek the middle
ground.
That Broyhill and Peterson are meeting is a tacit
acknowledgement by both men that unless they can
find that common ground, House Bill 3471 will
provoke one of the largest confrontations to date
between environmentalists and the Reagan adminis
tration. In the middle of the fight will be the
Cleveland County congressman.
Environmentalists see the bill as an attempt,
described by the Clean Air Coalition, “to legalize air
pollution rather than control it.’’ Broyhill, who
champions business rights, sees his amendments as
allowing industry to determine, in part, the
regulations that govern it, and as giving state and
federal governments leeway to administer the act for
greater economic grovrth. Compromise sees difficult.
“I met with Gov. Peterson,’’ Broyhill told the View
Aug. 7 during office hours at Boiling Springs. “On
some issues we came to an agreement, and on some
we didn’t.’’
Peterson also was interviewed by the Foothills View
Aug. 7 at his New York office. He recalled meeting
the North Carolina Republican:
“We agreed mainly to meet again. I had gone down
10 Broyhill’s office in Washington and asked him if
his ideas (on the amendments) were set in concrete.
He said no, they weren’t in concrete.”
A ringing bell then interrupted Peterson’s meeting
with Broyhill as House members were called to vote
on President Reagan’s tax cut bill July 29. Before
Broyhill left to vote, the two men agreed to meet
again in September after the summer recess.
Peterson, talking to the View the week after the tax
vote, said he is worried by Broyhill’s proposal to take
into account “pre-existing” pollutants in determining
the clean-air standards for industry. “A certain!
concentration of pollutants, whether natural or
man-made, is hannful,” Peterson said.
As Broyhill’s bill is now written, “pre-existing”
also seems to include both man-made and natural
pollutants, neither of which would be charged against
an industi-y in determining that industry’s effect on
the air.
Broyhill told the View not taking into account the
background pollutants “brings new industry in a
region to a screetching halt.” Without Broyhill’s
amendments the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency is not allowed to consider local air problems
and has the power to ban constmetion in areas where
air quality does not meet EPA standards.
“The constniction ban applies to all new or
modified major facilities in such areas,” Broyhill
said, “whether or not the new plant would affect air
quality in the area.
“The uncertainty created by this situation disrupts
normal business planning,” Broyhill continued, “and
discourages desirable economic development and
associated job opportunities.”
Fiscal responsibility is returned to the Act by his
amendments, Broyhill believes. The second Clean
Air Act passed in 1977 during the Carter
administration will cost $300 billion in administrative
and regulatory costs by the end of this decade,
Broyhill told the View. “With that huge a cost
Congress has a responsibility to look at the Act,” he
said.
Broyhill emphasized to the View that his
amendments “do not embrace the cost/benefit
approach I’ve been charged with by the
environmentalists.” The cost/benefit approach

I asked him if
his ideas were set
in concrete, and
he said no, they
they weren’t in
concrete. ”
