The three Senators, who have often been unopposed, have solid opposition from former TV person- ality John Carter, Mary Lou Craig and Jim Forrester, all Republicans. Long-time 48th House members Jack Hunt and Edith Lutz of Cleveland County, and Kings Mountain's John Weatherly, who recently completed his first term, also have three opponents. The Democrats are Lutz, Hunt and William Withrow and the Republicans are Weatherly, Dick Hoagland and Tony Helton. Kings Mountain's Joyce Cashion and Ralph Gilbert, both Democrats, face Republicans Dennis Bingham and Bill Claytor Jr. for two seats on the County FOOTBALL From Page 4-A football games, but we handled them the best we know how. "We had good cooperation from the school system and local fire departments and the city. We extracted a couple out for drinking and had one small fight, but anytime you go tc a ballgame you're going to have a couple of fights. The crowd was extremely controlled. Their temperament was very good and it was just one of the best ballgames I've seen in many, many years." KMHS Principal Jackie Lavender praised the police department, saying the officers "really went all out to make everybody feel safe and secure." Mrs. Lavender said all the rumors leading up to the game were unfortunate, but if anything good came from it it was that it made school officials take a look at the lighting situation at the ball field. Board of Commissioners. Mrs. Cashion is presently on the board. Other local races include James W. Morgan against Gregory Smith for District Court Judge; and Linda Cline Thrift against Kings Mountain native Pamela Morrison Edwards for Clerk of Superior Court. Sheriff Buddy McKinney, County Coroner Ralph Mitchem and Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors Paul Davis and Cameron Ware are all unop- posed. The U.S. Senate race between Harvey Gantt and Jesse Helms has brought the most attention. Helms has over 20 years of service but re- cent polls have indicated that Gantt is the front runner. T. Cass Ballenger of Hickory hopes to retain his 10th District Congressional seat over Daniel R. Green Jr. Several judicial seats are also on the ballot. "We (school officials) talked about it at the game Friday night and again at the soccer game last night," she said. "The more lights we have the better and we're going to leave the baseball stadium lights on at future home games. It costs a pile of money but it really lights up the whole back side of the stadium and that's where our problems always are." Mrs. Lavender said the school probably will install some additional security lights also. Although she heard all the rumors, Mrs. Lavender said she never received any threatening phone calls and, to her knowledge, no one else associated with the football program did either, including the player who reportedly had a threatening note attached to his car. In fact, Mrs. Lavender and other school and law enforce- ment officials met with the player and he assured them he had not received such a threat and did not expect any trouble. belongs. Nonetheless, school and police officials were wise to take the extra precautions. As for threats and ru- mors, we'd hope that those responsible would let all the "action" take place on the football field where it [mH TENT From Page 1-A knowing that much about it and had to pay them to set it up for me. It's cost $10,000 so far and they're not through yet." The tent is 140 feet wide and 220 feet long. Reynolds bought 2,800 chairs and Pike gave him 300. "We can seat 3,000 people comfortably but he said they've had as many as 5,000 in the tent with people standing up," Reynolds said. "The tent is 10 years old but the life of it is 100 years. It's inflammable and I don't in- tend to move it." Next weekend's revival will bring a lot of people and business to Kings Mountain, Reynolds said. The evangelistic team has already booked 10 rooms at a local hotel. Right now, Reynolds said, he's in the "thinking" stages of what to book at the tent. "I would think it would be ideal for gospel singings and I'm sure some evangelists would want to use it," he said. "That would be my first choice because the man (Pike) would want to see it continued used for that. "He sold it to me reasonably,” Reynolds added. "We could have some bluegrass festivals and maybe bring some talent down from Nashville. I have some name quartets in mind and we have a lot of good local talent Thursday, October 25, 1990 -THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 13A ere that could use it." Reynolds said he recently returned from a real estate convention in Myrtle Beach and is considering bringing the comedy act that performed there to Kings Mountain. Reynolds said he believes he can book some good entertainment groups and "make some money" with the property, as well as making it available for religious activities. “In Charlotte you'll pay $20 for a ticket and $3 for parking" for similar events, he said. "I figure I can charge $5 for the ticket and $1 for parking and seat 3,000 people and still make money." Reynolds said he won't allow alcoholic beverages on the premises and has hired security guards to look after the property at night. "We're going to start it off right and keep it right," he said. "If we have activities that young people are involved in, if they are not 18 years old their parents will have to be with them." : Admission to next week's crusade is free. "People tell me that Rev. Pike does not take up a collection,” Reynolds said. "People that know him and have heard him in person and on TV do- nate money to him. He used to go overseas and had two ships of his own that he sailed in. He has his own plane, his own bank and has a school that goes to the ninth grade." : WILLIAM ORR From Page 1-A 2} The district gave Orr over $1,500 in cash and the Connectional Lay Council honored him with a certificate.
