Ea Ln —— Occult Seminar Set At East Gold Church Rev. Terry L. Ledbetter, Director of Aware Ministries, will conduct a multi-media seminar exposing the alleged evils of the New Age Movement and the occult at East Gold Wesleyan Church Sunday at 10am., 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Rev.George Simmons, pastor, said the public is invited. Ledbetter received his educa- tion from Circleville Bible College and Columbus Technical College with honors, the only person in Circleville Bible College history to receive both annual preaching awards simultaneously. He hosted his own television program in Columbus, Ohio and served as edi- COUNTY From Page 1-A the elderly and a regional airport. In the housing report there were incentives for cities and towns to develop low cost housing and sup- port of organizations dealing with the problem," said McRae. The need for planned and order- ly management was mentioned in the land use report. The political task force cited po- litical apathy and the need for co- operation between governments and agencies which both McRae and Alexander agreed there is co-- operation between Kings Mountain and Shelby agencies, governments and schools. "What I see most exciting com- ing from this is the potential for improved interagency cooperation between the different agencies in Cleveland County and the school system. So many kids carry heavy burdens to school with them and they need help that agencies, such as social services and mental health provide. By working together in Cleveland Challenge, we can help each other, said McRae, to keep our kids from falling through the crack." McRae and Alexander at a re- cent conference at the Kings Mountain Superintendent's office praised the efforts leading to cre- ation of Challenge but said the most significant effort lies ahead- in implementation of projects un- veiled in the study. The report that identifies the county's top needs isn't gathering dust. Alexander says that a track- ing process will keep up with what is being done on the three issues Challenge cited as the main priori- ties: education, infrastructure and social issues. Challenge issues are topics for tor of a community religious newspaper. "As a minister with. pastoral ex- perience, he has a deep concern for the invasion of the occultic/New Age philosophies into the thinking of the church," said Simmons. "Rev. Ledbetter sees this as an in- sidious and demonic attack upon the church and the church's influ- ence in the world. Aware Ministries attempts to alert the church to the apparent sinister in- tents and pervasive impact of the New Age movement in the church, education, government, entertain- ment, marketing, publishing, busi- ness, health, psychology and the arts." monthly meetings of the education group of superintendents of the three school systems along with department heads of mental health, health and social services depart- ments. Updates on various projects will be reviewed in a regular Challenge newsletter which will go out next month, Challenge's steering committee meets quarterly. Cleveland County commission- ers included the Challenge docu- ment in the new budget and the county is responding to Challenge recommendations in such areas as solid waste disposal and the cre- ation of manned container/recy- cling center networks. A case management study will tie in computer based information on service between mental health and social services departments for which the county recently applied for a state grant. Secondary school funding was increased $500,000 and the 400- acre expansion of the county land- fill was identified in the planning document. "It's a cooperative venture and it works,"said Alexander. Some accomplishments of Challenge to date: the county in- creased funding for education by 2 cents on tax rate; case management project/dropout prevention coali- tion established; vocational educa- tion improvement project started; planning grant received by Council on Aging for elder service plan- ning; medical shuttle service estab- lished; research started on "Cities in Schools" and "Success by Six" program; recycling coordinator hired/ two manned solid waste sites established; thoroughfare plans started for Kings Mountain and Shelby; and request for the Shelby by-pass submitted to the Department of Transportation. Cleveland Challenge programs are available to local civic groups. BETHWARE : From Page 1-A ing the school's recommendation on building plans. "Bethware Auditorium is in too good a shape to demolish and it's my gut feeling that it will take about $50,000 in necessary re- pairs," said Architect Roger Holland, who also designed the additions at Kings Mountain Middle School and Kings Mountain High School. Holland said the system can save $20,000 in demolition fees. Supt. Bob McRae said the cost of repairs can come from the capital outlay budget and the work done "in stages." ) Holland said the 2700 square foot addition would tie in directly with the existing building with easy access in and out of the build- ing. A staff parking lot would be accessible to the entrances and there would be sidewalks and a covered walkway. He suggested that the character of the existing building be retained. The 14 class- rooms would have work room ar- eas for each individual teacher. Included in the plans are two sets of toilets for younger and older children and a big conference room. "What we would do is preserve the auditorium with minimal re- GROVER From Page 1-A Grover Policeman Paul Cash suspects the vandalism was done at night. He has not ruled out juve- niles but says whoever broke up the markers and uprooted them must have used a heavy object to move the marble stones. "It just breaks my heart," said Rountree, who is attempting to contact the families who own the damaged monuments. pairs and not build fancy but nice," said the architect. A sloped roof similar to KMHS and terrazzo floors in high traffic areas of the new addition are projected. There would be a separate boiler system for the new building. Supt. McRae noted that work at Bethware could continue with the students in school. Responding to cost figures, the architect said he would prepare plans and specifications and pre- sent them to the November meet- ing. He estimated it will take about two months before the bidding pro- cess is underway. "With construc- tion materials down and suppliers overstocked, it's a good time to start but winter may be a bad time to begin construction,” Holland said. The building plans at Bethware also include continued use of the gymnasium. Dr. Allen said that the Grover School project is proceeding nicely and by the end of the week the new addition will have a top. He esti- mated that students may be able to move to the new school in late February, earlier than anticipated. "The weatherman has certainly been smiling on school construc- tion projects,” he said.
