Page 6—MIRROR-HERALD—luesday, January 31, 1978 Grover Wants System (Begins on Page 1) connected to the system in the first year,” Fisher said. In 1975 Fisher wrote down projected income from tapcns and use at $40,630. IMs source of revenue would offset the construction costs and loan paybacks. Fisher said the FHA loan of $170,000 would be at a five percent annual rate. If the town accepts the grant and the loan the money will be put aside until that time the town is ready to use it "FHA has been very generous in its offer,” John Edwards commented. “U$liatly the FHA grant is the same amount as the loan offer. In this case the grant is much higher and we ai« ex tremely pleased with the offer.” If the town accepU die loan the payback would be $10,000 annually for 38 years. Ihe five percent rate would be locked in and not subject to change. Ihe estimated annual cost to the town of Grover for operating the waste collection and pumping system is $38,000. lhat cost includes treatment, main tenance of system and billing. “I suppose the best barometer we will have as to whether or not Grover residents want to the waste treatment system is if they approve the bond referendum,” Mayor McCarter said. Cooperate Without Merger (Begms On Page 1) members agreed that the three sig)erintendent8 meet with the principals before returning to the school boards with suggestions, with student reaction to the new program to be sought out Dr. Columbo, reviewing the school transportation system, said that 177 school busses are operated for Cleveland Cbunty students, 128 in the county, 33 in Kings Motiitain and 18 in Shelby, traveling a total of 1,619,480 mUes during a school year, the program costing $509,604, transporting 11,000 kids on a daily basis approximately 64.9 miles per day. He reported that the county com mission took bids recently for con- sb-uction of a new school bus garage on a 12 acre site below the county prison unit. Ihe new building is expected to be completed in late summer with the school system exchanging its present garage and four acre site with the county.__ Asst. KM Supt Bill Bates, who stgiervises the bus transportation system here, noted that it’s the responsibility of the local boards to buy the school buses from the state and the state maintains and pays salaries of bus (foivers. Supt. Columbo reported the county purchased five new buses at cost of $59,000. Vice Chairman Bill Gilliatt, who presided, noted that stetistically the safest {dace to travel in North Carolina is onaschoolbus, althoughthereare critics tit the youthful driver. He said 32 school bus accidents occurred in the county last year and that of 100 counties in the state (Seveland Cfounty ranks 13 in number of buses operated and 15th with thr largest fleet of students on buses, 11,486. Supt. Davis commended Tran sportation Director David Henson for the exceptional service he renders to the three school units. Cooperative efforts were alto reflected in the report Supt. Brown presented on special education programs in which all laiits participate — the Northside school for handicapped chiltken where one of the finest programs in the state is operated for 160 kids; the clinic for mentelly ill at Marion School; extended day care. TitleIV and Project Cascade; and Uie program for physically han dicapped. children at Graham School. Supt. Brown invited, and the group agreed, to hold their next meeting at Northside, with the students in oc cupational education serving light lun cheon. Supt. Davis reviewed another cooperative effort, th^ Head Start program in Cleveland County where 126 four-year-olds from disadvantaged families are served nutritional break fasts and lunch, provided medical and dental examinations and instructed in social skills and readiness for school, improving self-image. There are 21 full time employes and the program is operated on a 10 month basis with centers in Shelby at aeveland Schotd, in Kings Mountain and (jrover Schools and in Oeveland County at Elizabeth, Polkville and Lattimore School. Mrs. Angenette Homesley, director, has offices in the KM System. The program, an outgrowth of Com munity Action, is funded by HEW with $150,000 supplied this year with $37,000 in-kind matching funds. Sports Medicine Center is an in novative program in which all schools are involved, said Dr. Columbo. Only one of its kind in North Carolina, it is housed in aeveland Elementary School at Sbelby where a trainer is on duty daUy and on call to student or adult athletes. Ihe program grew out of outgrowth of athletic injuries, especially on the football field, where 70 percent of those iqjured initially suffered reiiijuries. Warren Ariail, trainer, also conducts workshops for student and adult trainers. Daring football season, the former GW College trainer, reported an average of 65 injuries a day with 30-46 persons visiting the clinic during the basketball season. During the first of the three year program, a total of 500 students, male and female, have registered for workshops. Dr. Columbo and KM Schools Super visor Howard Bryant reviewed the dental hygiene program which is now underway in K-5 grades of the systems and reported the program “well received” Only three students, two in the Shelby system, and one from Kings Mountain, did not want to participate in regular mouth rinsing and teeth brushing. Mr. Bryant, who presented a demonstration, said the exercise only required 10 minutes, and included a fluoride treatment After a preswitation on in-school suspension in regard to the new [ffogram for status offenders initiated by Governor Hunt, the board agreed to hear a community-based alternative representative from Cfoarlotte and form a program for use during the remainder (ff the school term. Supt. Davis explained that effective July 1 stetus offenders, students brought into court on truancy or nn-away charges, can’t be committed to training schools but home-based programs must be made available to them. An “in school suspension” program would mean that a student would be removed from the regular school program and isolated fivm the rest of his class but still given proper instruction in dansworfc, the program an outgrowth of the recent conference by N. C. Supterintendents with the Governor on status offenders.
