Crowds On Hand
For Track Opening
_ This past weekend the Parks and Recreation Department was involved
In a couple of exciting community-wide events which, for the most part,
had good participation. We had our ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new
walking track adjacent to the Community Center on Saturday afternoon
at 4:30 with 100 or so participating.
The crowd heard Mayor Kyle Smith give the welcome and opening
remarks as well as thanking Champion Contracting for their outstanding
work on the project. The mayor also acknowledged the benefit of the
new track to our community as it has already proven to be an excellent
place for all segments of our population to exercise, socialize or simply
sit and watch.
Following the Mayor's comments, Council member Norma Bridges,
Chairperson of the Parks and Recreation commission, provided informa-
tion on the plans for the track. The Commission is interested in making
this a truly passive area with landscaping, night lighting, benches, picnic
areas and a tot playground.She also indicated that the Parks and
Recreation Commission has started soliciting material and manpower
donations to construct a restroom at the track. Mrs. Bridges also encour-
aged citizens to contact the Parks and Recreation Staff or Recreation
Commission members for suggestions as to other additions to the track
area.
Following the presentation, Recreation commission members, the
mayor and City Council members joined the citizens at the ceremony in
officially opening the new facility. All those at the ribbon cutting had
brought scissors, so everyone was able to participate in the cutting and
begin a tradition of community involvement and participation at the
track.
At 6 p.m. the Kings Mountain All-Stars demonstrated their raw tal-
ents in an exhibition game with the King and His Court 4-man fast pitch
softball team.The Kings Mountain team composed of Mayor Kyle
Smith, Police Chief Warren Goforth, Mike Smith, Tony Leigh, Ray
Robinson, Wayne Bridges, Scott Ellis, Scott Buchanan, Scott Hull,
Jimmy Dellinger and yours truly put on a good show for the local fans.
Those of you who missed the game missed a fun-filled exhibition by one
of the premier touring softball teams in the country and a great opportu-
nity to see some of your friends get totally embarrassed.
Looking ahead to July, the Parks and Recreation Department is mak-
ing final plans for the annual July 4th Celebration at Deal Street
Park. This year's festivities will deviate somewhat from previous years in
several ways. First, the Parks and Recreation staff is planning a totally
family type program in which parents and their kids will participate to-
gether in a variety of games and contests. The Deal Street pool will pro-
vide activities on a "Beach Party Theme.” and Mrs. Evelyn Bridges is
working on some great gospel groups for the late afternoon. The high-
light of the July 4th week will be the arrival of the Flaming Shows
Carnival which will be located at the park from July 4-7 with rides,
games and good fun for the entire family. Local church, youth, civic and
other non-profit organizations will be allowed to set- up booths during
the carnival as fund raisers for their organizations. Contact the Parks and
Recreation Department for details.
In closing, I would like to again acknowledge the excellent participa-
tion we had this past weekend at both the ribbon-cutting and the softball
exhibition. It was great to see such representation from all segments of
~ our population at both events. Special thanks also goes to Chet Buckner
and Rick Fortner for volunteering their umpire services and to Jackie
Barnette and Bob Myers for providing security at the ball game. We ap-
preciate your support and, as always, welcome your comments.

Summer Reading Program Kicked Off At The Library
Eka-a-ro-sir, eka-a-ro-ma.
Samalekum. Good morning, sir:
good morning, ma'am. Over 250
children practiced these greetings
in Yoruba and Swahile as Moses
Nueman led the kick off program
for the 1990 Summer Reading
Club at Mauney Memorial Library.
Dressed in a loose white robe
and a white hat, which is the tradi-
tional costume in Nigeria, Nueman
talked about the old Africa and the
new Africa. "We live in houses like
you do," he said. We have cities;
we have electricity and modern
conveniences, but not everyone.
Some people live in the villages,
and do not have the conveniences."
In talking about clothing,
Nueman said, "When we go to
work, we wear the same kind of
clothes you do." Nevertheless, tra-
ditional dress is still worm on oc-
casion and in some parts of Africa.
Nueman brought some examples of
traditional costumes and teen vol-

plain, and some were decorated
with fine embroidery. The King's
costume was the most beautiful
and elaborate of all, and was em-
broidered with silver threads. The
people in Africa are like people in
America and like people all over
the world. "People are the same, no
matter where thy live," he said.
Although modern in many re-
the traditional and African culture
is an exhilarating blend of the old
and the new. Many customs and
rituals have been handed down

made up of a skirt with a ruffle on
the bottom, a loose top, and a sash
which could be used for many
things, such as carrying a baby.
Nueman pointed out that all of the
clothing was loose, because it is
hot in Africa and loose garments
are cooler.
Nueman discussed the kind of
food people eat in Africa. "Food is
the same all over the world," he
said. "What makes the difference is
the way we cook it." When some
of the children expressed a dislike
for black eyed peas, Nueman said,
"Let me cook it for you. You will
like it then."

Damages were high in two in-
dustry fires which occurred last
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning.
According to Fire Chief Frank
Burns, a fire Wednesday night at
Parkdale Mills, 500 Railroad
Avenue, destroyed 156 bales of
cotton and caused extensive dam-
age to the structure. Firemen
fought the fire four hours. The fire
and smoke damaged cotton was
valued at $46,800.
Burns said the fire may have
started due to a spark from the met-
al bands that hold the bales togeth-
er,
at 7:48 Thursday morning to Anvil
Knitwear, 304 Linwood Road, and
extinguished a fire in a large fabric
dryer. Burns said it took firemen
about a hour and a half to extin-
guish the blaze. Damages were es-
timated at $3,000.
No one was injured.
