a sa Pool Hearing ls From Page 1-A reason to build a pool. Swim- ming is a non-contact sport. From a competition stand- point, we have other events and swimming should be con- sidered along with them.” Bob Tayler of 204 South Goforth Street stressed that the $150,000 figure is' a “guarantee from the school board’ that if the pool foun- dation does not raise over $600,000 that the schools will pay that amount. ‘‘There are quite a bit more drives com- ing forth to raise the money, and the extra year and a half will be adequate time,” he said. “We don’t know what the economical situation will be in 10 years. To allow this opportunity to pass, we'd have to hold our heads down when our grandchildren have to go to Shelby to swim. We're not asking for $150,000. Sure, that’s a lot of money. Give us time to raise it.” One of the two citizens speaking against the use of public money in construction of the pool, Henry Baity, said he and his children have been involved in swimming pro- grams at Shelby during the past 30 years. ‘I’ve got up early too, and I understand the sacrifice,” he said. ‘But I have also visited school facilities and talked to teachers. From what I've seen and heard, the money can be better spent in im- proving the facilities and meeting teachers’ needs.” Also stressing that the school system has “more pressing needs” was John Caveny Jr. of 401 Horseshoe Lane. “There are many good reasons to build a 1. I'd like to see one,’ he said. “There are more pressing needs by the school system.” He said the money figures being talked about ‘‘are ledges. What will be col- ected? If there is a cost over- run, we may be looking at $250,000 instead of $150,000. fo a better a tha a to be funded by entirely private contributions and be privately run.” Several speakers said the city needs an indoor swimm- ing pool to attract new people to the community. Hewitt Reep, ad- ministrator of Kings Moun- tain Hospital, said the hospital has a ‘‘doctor- recruiting’ campaign and that all prospective doctors who visit the city inquire about the school system. “When I tell them the pool will be real, they've been very excited,” he said. Marvin Chappell, also a Kings Mountain Hospital employee, said he did not . consider the swimming pool a luxury but that “it’s a necessity we can’t do without.” Local dentist Geeper Howard, who said he was speaking for the Kiwanis ~ Club, noted that the pool pro- ject is the biggest fund- . raising project ever under- taken in Kings Mountain. ‘Kings Mountain needs ki positive things to happen to it,” he said. “We need a arantee (from the school oard) to keep some of the i pledges we already have. We ~ pledge to continue to try to ~ raise the additional money over the next two years. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.” Grover Seeks $6,000 Grant From Page 1-A- During the discussion of eneral business, in which ard members voted to buy "new tires and repair the city police car, the board was told that the Town of Grover had been removed from civil ac- 8 j “tion brought by the family of Kelli Harry, and board members voted to pay the firm of Cloninger & Neisler for legal services amounting to $1,051.72. Need REAL ESTATE? Call The Pro: 739-3659 HAMRICK REALTY Corky Fulton, a downtown businessman, said the facili- ty is also needed for the local economy and for attracting new citizens. ‘When an in- dustry locates in Kings Moun- tain, many of the upper management people locate in Gastonia and Shelby. By not having these people living in Kings Mountain, we’re losing . many benefits. The pool won't be an answer to all things but we need everything we can to attract new people,’ he said. Fulton further added that the Kiwanis Club and Pool Foundation were ‘‘very disappointed by the way the drive was handled by the fund-raising firm (which was hired for a 20-week effort to raise the $750,000) but we still raised mone runds than any other endeavor. There will never be a time when a 201 will be the top priority of the school system but there will never be a time to get something built for so few dollars.” Another downtown businessman and Kiwanian, Glee Bridges, called the pool idea ‘‘one of the greatest things to happen’ in Kings Mountain. ‘‘I know the school board is in a dilemma,” he said, ‘but hope you look favorably at this.” Larry Hamrick Sr., presi- dent of the Kings Mountain Board of Realtors, presented the school board with a pro- clamation which he said was unanimously passed by the group. Textile executive Charles Mauney called the pool a “most worthwhile project” which could have best been served under a school bond referendum. “But,” he add- Open House Is Sunday Vocational student guides will. greet . guests attending the “community open house being sponsored by Kings Mountain Senior High School on Sunday, February 9 from 2 to 4 pm All programs in the school will be open to visitors.

A native of Kings Mountain, Scism at- tended Bethware School and graduated from Kings Moun- tain High School. He is mar- ried to the former Martha Ernst and they are parents of three sons, Darren, Jeff, and Kevin Scism and attend Pat- terson Grove Baptist Church. MUSIC PROGRAM The New Beginning Singers of Mars Hill College will pre- sent special music Sunday morning at 11 o’clock at Se- cond Baptist Church. Clayton Ollis, of Kings Mountain, will direct the group. Held ed, “since this effort has been so successful, it would be very foolhearty to let this money escape our hands.” Bobby Maner said many universities require incoming freshmen to pass a swimm- ing test before entering P.E. classes and some who do not pass the test think it’s an “‘in- dignity’’ to have to take swimming lessons. “This is something the town needs,” he said. ‘If we had one per- son to drown it would be a far greater loss than the cost.” Patrick Hamrick, Presi- dent of the KMHS Student Body, said he has talked to several students and has heard no negative response to an indoor pool. ‘‘The students should not be overlooked,’’ he said. “If it is necessary for completion of the project, the $l board should support i a2 : : Basketball coach Larry Sipe, who said he was speak- ing for the KMHS P.E. department, called swimm- ing a “lifetime sport” and said the pool is needed by the school system. “No other ac- tivity uses as many muscles as swimming,” he said. Betty Gamble, vocational director for the school system, echoed his feelings. “It’s not often a system is presented 80 percent of the cost (of a project) with the desire of the donor to present the full 100 percent,” she said. “If they're willing to of- fer that much money it’s time to re-arrange our priorities.” The school board, which did not enter into the discus- sion, will ultimately make the decision on whether or not to commit school funds to the project. The board meets Monday and may decide at that time. Chairman Bill McDaniel said the board has three alternatives: to accept the re- quest as it is, reject it, or to offer a counter proposal to the Pool Foundation.
