Page 2A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, April 25, 1985 Lublanezki From Page 1-A nurses in various school por- ches and out of the way spots in Panama. Lublanezki sees himself and other volunteers in the role of Goodwill ambassadors from this country and said the innoculation project hopes to help eliminate measles worldwide. Many children in the poverty stricken areas cannot afford and do not have the transpor- tation to go to doctors for measles shots. “This will be a good oppor- tunity to share our love with Panamanians and fellow Rotarians,” said Lublanezki who volunteered two months ago to join the team and has spent the last two months completing paper work, get- ting training in giving in- noculations and most recent- ly enlisted the aid of Congress man Jim Broyhill in renew- ing his passport which had expired. Included on the medical team will be a pilot, two doc- tors, a nurse, a pharmacist, a retired merchant, a veterinarian, a contractor, medical assistant, an op- tometrist, a forester, an engineer, a chiropractor, and a teacher. Lublanezki said that the team has been warned to ‘stay away from all con- troversy’’ and ‘‘do not be anx- ious about your safety.” They have been told they have no Joining Med Team In Panama reason to be afraid in Panama, to pack lightly for their trip and bring wash and wear, drip dry work clothes, no coats and ties. The good- will ambassadors will be working the entire time and will also be cooking their own meals. George has also been told to bring a safety razor, since there may be no elec- tricity in some of the areas in which the team will report for work. Although he doesn’t speak Spanish except for a word or two, George says that inter- Prefers will be available and e is taking along a Spanish to English dictionary which he plans to put to good use. Panamanians are friendly and loveable people, he has been told, and the Vice Presi- dent, Director and Assistant ‘Director of the Panama Health Department are all Rotarians. Weather in Panama will be hot and humid, said Lublanezki, and the volunteers will stay in hotels or hostels, available from $4 to $15 a day per person with food costs expected to run from $2 to $6 per day. Rotary International is paying the costs of the 18-member team and volunteers have been told to bring only about $100 in cash with them. ‘We won’t be going anywhere to spend any money’’, laughed George. He’s been told to leave coats and ties behind too, since there are no fancy functions to attend. It takes two weeks to receive mail in Panama, so he doesn’t expect any of his former students to write to him. Rotary International had planned a special project in Ethiopia but because of political unrest that volunteer team effort was cancelled and Rotary donated $246,000 to help star- ving people in Ethiopia. District Governor Paul J. Helms has been heading up plans for the Panama Trip. Rotary International Presi- dent Carlos Canseco’s theme, “Discover A New World of Service’ was the challenge to volunteers like Lublanezki. Donations from The Rotary Foundation of Rotary Inter- national, headquartered in Evanston, Ill., are used to im- rove health, alleviate unger, and enhance the human and social develop- ment of people, as a means of advancing international understanding and goodwill and peach. Other members of the 18-member team of% volunteers from Cleveland County is Gaines B. Washburn, building supply : manager, of Shelby. Lublanezki says he can i hardly wait to board the plane for Florida and then for Panama. He plans to keep a day to day performance record for Rotary and ex- pects to make pictures and slides to share his ex- ponionces in Panama with ellow Rotarians here and with civic and school groups in the Kings Mountain area. “I'm so excited about this trip and what we will be doin for these children,” sai Lublanezki. New Recreation Concept Approved By City Board From Page 1-A “I envision a program of real activity and I want to get all the community to rally around it”, said He Mayor.

USPS GARY STEWART Managing Editor ELIZABETH STEWART News Editor Cleveland County Republican Party Executive Committee believes ‘‘that the people have the right to direct par- ticipation in decisions affec- ting them.” “We protest the actions of the General Assembly in. Raleigh preventing North Carolina citizens from having the opportunity to vote on whether our Governor should have veto power. Since every other state in the Union en- trusts veto power to. their governor; and our founding fathers entrusted it to the President, shouldn’t North Carolina voters at least have the right to vote on it?,” the resolution asks. The resolution stated that the General Assembly’s refusal to allow a vote is ‘simply putting personal political ambition and Demoncrat Party ambition ahead of the people to voice their opinion.” In other action at its April meeting, the party welcomed new members Dorothy Young and Pat Hamner, and elected Skip McCartney, Greswold Gynette and Pat , Hamner to serve ont he State Executive Committee with John Cabiness and Dorothy Young.
