September 135, 1983 School Calendar Changed The Kings Mountain Board of Education Monday night revised its 1983-84 calendar to reduce the number of annual leave days for employees. Dr. Larry Allen, assistant superintendent, said it was necessary to reduce the calendar from 12% leave days to 10 leave days for .employees with less than five years of service. Employees with less than two years of service will be eligible for only 10 leave days per year, while employees with 2-5 years of service will be eligible for 11. The legislature recently took action to grant leave days for school employees on the same scale it uses for other state employees. The board approved using Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 19-20, and a half-day on June 8 as workdays instead of vacation days, and approved using Organ Recital Scheduled John Acker, noted Organist, will present an Organ Recital of sacred music at the First Wesleyan Church, 500 Block North Piedmont Avenue, on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 6 p.m. Acker began Organ study at age six, served as accompanist for school and church choirs, served as Organist/Director of Choir at the following Churches: St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Sidney, N.Y ., St. Bartholomew’s Lutheran, Trenton, N.J., Im- manuel Presbyterian, Bingham- ton, N.Y ., St. Stanislaus Kosata R.C. Church, Binghamton N.Y ., First Christian Church, En- dicott, N.Y. and the First United Methodist Church, Franklin, N.Y. Acker attended Westminister Choir College in Princeton, N.J., and studied with Robert Car- within, General Editor of the new Presbyterian Hymnal. He is currently working with Parker- Gardner Music Co. in Charlotte as an Institutional Sales and is churches. The public is invited to attend. January 19, March 23 and June 6-7 as mandatory workdays. In reply to a question by school board member Paul Hord Jr., Allen said teachers had not been asked for input on Allen’s recommendation. Dean Westmoreland, a teacher at Kings Mountain High, said it has been past policy of the board to discuss policy- making decisions with the Per- sonnel Policies Committee. “I'm sure teachers would appreciate an opportunity to look at mat- ters that affect them,” he said. Vice<hairman Bill McDaniel disagreed. “This has nothing to do with the Personnel Policies Committee,” he said. “This has to do with changing the school calendar.” “But, when you change it, it becomes policy and the people affected are the teachers,” Westmoreland said. Patti Weathers, a teacher at Central and president of the Kings Mountain Association of Educators, said she talked with several teachers and “we feel like principals and other people in- volved should have been con- sulted. Some people that had an- nual leave days may have already made vacation plans and now will feel like they’re going to have to be at work. They might want to have an option.” In other matters Monday night, the board: *Heard a report from Superintendent Bill Davis on the opening of school, which he said “was as smooth and problem free as any opening I can remember.” Davis said Kings Mountain’s total enrollment is down 75 from the 10th day of last year 4,148 this year compared to 4,223 last year). “If we have a normal kindergarten class next year, we could be back up to the 4,200 category,” he said. Davis said some kindergarten classes are a little larger than they’re suppos- ed to be. *Delayed implementation of the $3 instructional fee at least until the beginning of the second semester. Davis said if all goes well, the fee might not have to be charged at all this school year. *Gaye Davis the authority to establish” a" Health Education Council. It will be be made up of teachers, parents, public health MOUNTAINEER From Page 7-A at half-time. One local paper predicted Shelby to win in a close decision. One of the top radio stations around predicted Shelby to win by a great margin. They all said that Kings Moun- tain would not score. The power of the Mountie of- fense has apparently been under- estimated. Shelby has always been an arch-rival of the Moun- taineers, and will probably always remain that way. However, both teams fought hard all the way up to the end of the game. Shelby played good, hard-nosed football, but they just couldn’t cope with that tough Mountie defense. The third quarter was a back and fourth affair—all except for the first series of plays. Kings Mountain picked up two first downs before giving the ball to Shelby on downs. On Shelby’s first play of the second half, they fumbled the ball and Kings Mountain end, Ross Springer, recovered the ball to run 20 yards for the touchdown. Clark Mauney received a pass from Mullinax in the end zone for the extra point and Kings Mountain took the lead by a score of 19-0. Kings Mountain again dominated the ball in the third quarter as they picked up four first downs and a total of 57-yards rushing. Shelby picked up only one first down and 4-yards rushing. The Lions proved that they could be tough also, when late in the fourth quarter Shelby fullback David Jackson took the pigskin for a 22-yard gain and the first down. Ted Whitworth and Bill Miller helped Shelby pick up their next two first downs. Then on the se- cond down Robby Reynolds completed a pass to Ted Whit worth for an 8-yard gain and put them on the Kings Mountain 16-yard line. A personal foul penalty against Kings Mountain put Shelby on the Mountie 1-yard line. Whitworth, again carried as he stormed through the Moun- taineer line for the TD. Robert Yarbro booted the extra point and the game ended just like that - 19-7, Kings Mountain. “Our offense worked together for the first time tonight,” said coach Bates, “We had everybody going about full speed, except Brown.” ‘Mullinax helped on defense also,” continued Bates, “And so did Steve Spencer.” They were hitting just as hard as the men on the line, sometimes harder.” Kings Mountain is now in se- cond place in conference stan- dings. They have won two, lost one, and tied one. In overall standings they have won three, lost three, and tied one. The Mountaineers play their last away game this Friday night as they meet the R.S. Central Hilltoppers at Rutherfordton.

RGGI GY NG WAL $ Water Project Ok’d From Page 1-A 2238 and tie in with the city’s southeast Cleveland County line just north of Grover. Mayor John Henry Moss said phase one of the project would provide water for the areas of the Kings Mountain bypass and phase two would provide water in the Bethlehem and Grover areas. The city now provides water for Bessemer City and Grover, but Moss said the proposed pro- ject would “establish a policy for the city to sell water in all of what can be considered as the Kings Mountain perimeter area. “This proposed project would enhance the growth and economic development and pro- vide many job opportunities for Kings Mountain and area citizens,” he said. A third phase of the develop- ment would be for the construc- tion of a hydro-electric plant at Moss Lake, using excess water from the spillway to expand the Pilot Creek Waste Water plant. In its resolution, the city board authorized the W.KK. Dickson Company of Charlotte to prepare preliminary plans for the project, and authorized Moss to seek federal, state and other funds to finance the im- provements. Although no figures have been arrived at, Mayor Moss said the project would “pay. for itself financially. Obvious- ly, the cost of service outside the city limits would be greater than inside,” he said. Moss said he expects the Dickson Company to complete its preliminary study within 90-120 days.
