Karen and Peter Cristiani, and their 11 year old son Brian, arrived in Shelby to- day with four enormous elephants that will perform at the Cleveland County Fair. “My father brought them over from India before I was born,” recalls Karen, whose family has been circus people for seven generations. Their names are Emma, Babe, Shirley and Carey, and they weigh in at four tons apiece. Asked how he felt about marrying into a family com- plete with four elephants, Karen’s husband Peter, replied that he treated the elephants as if they were his "children. ¢ Although Peter grew up in the circus too, and in his time has been a human cannon- ball, a trampolinist and a high-diver, he described his work with the elephants as his favorite because of the ‘outstanding relationship you can have with them.” KM Team Places Second KM High's Cross Country team came in second place in the Cross Country Meet Sept. 19th with South Point and North Gaston at South Point.
