TIAN nth em, 2 Se WV 9 TOUR HOSPITAL - Paul Osemene, staff pharmacist at Kings Mountain Hospital, talks to students from the Central School Career Class during a recent tour of the hospital. Time Critical In Saving Lives Time is a critical factor in saving a life. It's not always enough to call an ambulance.

By learning CPR, you can make the most of crucial moments and save a life. The purpose of CPR is to help prolong life until a trained medical professional arrives on the scene. CPR classes teach the lifesaving skills needed to approximately re- act to respiratory and cardiac emer- gencies.

A cardiac emergency occurs when the heart functions improperly or when the heart stops breathing. In many cases a prompt CPR response can stabilize victims of respiratory and cardiac emergencies. To learn proper CPR techniques, you must attend a training course where you will learn and practice CPR with the assistance of a trained and certified instructor. According to the American Red Cross, a CPR course will teach you: *How to give first aid for chok- ing and other respiratory emergen- cies. *How to recognize when some- one needs CPR. *How to give CPR to someone whose heart has stopped. *How to use the emergency medical services (EMS) system. *How to reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. *How to recognize the signs or symptoms of a heart attack and re- duce the chance that the victim's heart will stop. *How to correctly administer CPR according to the victim's age. To learn more about CPR and how to register for a CPR course, contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross or Kings Mountain Hospital at 739-3601. The life you save could very well be that of a friend or family mem- ber.

The public is encouraged to participate in this discussion and to Icarn more about how this plan addresses Cleveland County's necds for trails, greenways, parks and playgrounds.

State Pla Kings Mountain businessman Larry Hamrick Sr. will receive the Appointed Official Award from the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association Wednesday in ceremonies at Chapel Hill. Hamrick will be cited for 15 years of service to the Cleveland County Planning Board, the last six years as chairman, his leadership of the Solid Waste Advisory Board formed in 1986, and his service on the Cleveland County Land Records Committee. Cleveland County Planning & Mapping Director Bill McCarter made the nomination. Said McCarter of Hamrick, "This real estate and insurance ex- ecutive, has made the long term commitment to promoting good planning principles as illustrated by his years of service to county government as an appointed offi- cial in service in a variety of roles, in addition to his leadership roles in church and civic organizations throughout the community." "Planning is of significant im- portance to Mr. Hamrick, "said McCarter. He serves as an educator to the public in planning policies, a mediator at public hearings and a planning lobbyist to the county commission. As chairman, Hamrick was instrumental in en- couraging the county to hire its first professional planner, and the development of the Planning & Thursday, April 5, 1990 -THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 9A KM's Hamrick To Get nning LARRY HAMRICK SR. Zoning/Mapping Department as it exists today. Under his direction, the Planning Board is currently tackling major revisions to the county's subdivision and zoning regulations, and addressing envi- ronmental concerns through flood plain management, watershed pro- tection and performance zoning techniques. Hamrick has conducted public hearings to promote recycling and numerous recycling projects have been started in businesses, church- es, schools and civic groups as a Award result of his coordinated efforts and the county health director. SWAT is rapidly becoming one of the most important advisory groups in mu- * nicipal and county government. Most recently, Hamrick agreed to serve on the Cleveland County Land Records Committee. This committee is charged with the duty of recommending a method of co- ordinating land related data, such as infrastructure, topography, cadastral, etc. into a comprehen- sive planning and management tool commonly referred to as a geo- graphic information system. A five year plan has been developed and the first phase of a contract initiat- cd to meet the implementation re- quirements of this plan. Mr. Hamrick was instrumental in the successful presentation of his plan to the board of commissioners for funding. "Mr. Hamrick's significance to the planning field can best be ex- pressed by the diversity of plan- ning projects of which he has been involved. From land use and devel- opment policies, to environmental issues, to geographic information systems, this individual has pro- moted an attitude of planning prac- tice that will lead Cleveland County well into the next decade," said McCarter. Call 611 For Phone Repair Service "611" is the new number Southern Bell customers can call for repair service. The three-digit number has re- placed the seven-digit numbers starting with "780" the company currently uses for service repair. "The telephone number 611 is much easier for customers to re- member than a seven-digit num- Friends ber," said Joseph P. Lacher, North Carolina vice president. "In fact, many customers probably remem- ber that 611 used to be the repair number." About 10 years ago, Southern Bell began using seven-digit repair numbers in order to handle residen- tial and business customers sepa- rately. Special account centers are now in place to coordinate repairs for large business customers’ sys- tems, so the 611 repair number is again being provided for residen- tial and most business customers. Until new directories are pub- lished, customers who dial the old numbers will continue to reach re- pair service.
