The Home Ec teacher, Linda Home Advisory Council is talking with Julie Dixon, serves as coordinating teacher. ‘Order To Compel’ Field Former Mountain Rest Superintendent Ken Jenkins, through Shelby attorney Bill Lamb, filed motions in Cleveland County Superior Court Tuesday for ‘Order to compel” WBTV television reporter Chris Clackum and Kings Mountain Herald reporter Lib Stewart to disclose under court” identity of confiden- tial sources in a $3.8 million libel and slander suit against the City of Kings Mountain. Both WBTV of Charlotte and The Kings Mountain Herald have relied upon First Amendment protection, refusing to name or identify confidential informants in news stories and television reports dealing with the in- vestigation and operation of Mountain Rest Cemetery by then-superintendent Ken Jenkins who was fired by the City on Aug. 16, 1985. Lamb also filed a motion for extension of time within which to file notice of appeal ‘“‘seal of. and motion for order to com- pel discovery and for imposi- tion of sanctions. Four of seven claims against city officials by former Cemetery Supt. Jenkins in a $3.8 million lawsuit were dismissed Feb. 1 by Superior Court Judge Robert Lewis. Judge Lewis did not rule on motions to dismiss three claims of libel against the ci- ty but gave Attorney Lamb until Feb. 29 to produce evidence that one or more of the city officials named in the suit were responsible for allowing the publication of a confidential report regarding Jenkins tenure at the city- owned cemetery. Judge Lewis dismissed claims of invasion of privacy, denial of due process, breach of contract and intentional in- fliction of emotional distress against Jenkins. Jenkins filed the suit against the city in 1986 nam- ing former Mayor John Henry Moss, Commissioner Humes Houston and former Commissioners Irvin M. Allen, Jr., James Dickey, Curtis Gaffney and Corbet Nicholson. In affadavits presented to the courts the defendants contend they did not keep their copies of the confidential report and didn’t give them to anyone. In his deposition, Commissioner Norman King, the only one of the six to vote not to fire Jenkins and the only commis- sioner not named in the suit, said he kept his copy of the report but turned it over to Lamb shortly after Jenkins was fired. Judge Lewis said he would rule on all the libel claims and Jenkins request to recover punitive damages against the city during the Feb. 29 term of Cleveland County Superior Court. x
