—g Williamson top scorer for Mounties Sophomore Marquiz Williamson took what could be a big step to- ward becoming Kings Mountain High School's all-time basketball scoring leader this year. The 6-1 forward popped the nets for 457 points in leading Coach Larry Sipe's charges to a 19-7 over- all record. KMHS finished second in the Southwestern 3-A Conference and were ranked as high as seventh in the state 3-A poll. Williamson averaged 17.5 points per game, the most ever for a KMHS sophomore. He hit 128 of 247 two-point field goal attempts (52 percent) and 21 of 74 three- pointers (28 percent). In addition, he led the team in steals with 76.

Proposed neighborhood park detailed In an effort to inform the public | on the recent application for Federal Land and Water Conservation Funds, I want to de- tail the proposed park and again encourage community participation in this entire process. Before we start looking at the components and function of a neighborhood park, let me remind everyone of the sec- ond scheduled public hearing on March 26, 1991 at 7:30 pm in City Council Chambers. Neighborhood parks serve an important function in the overall park and recreation system of any town or city by providing open space for a variety of recreation "interests expressed by the resi- dents". To be a quality asset of any park system, a neighborhood park must contain components which are desired by the residents, other- wise the park is poorly utilized. Neighborhood residents can help assure the quality of the facility by remaining actively involved in the development, management and se- curity of the area. As mentioned at the first public hearing on this proposed facility, the Parks and Recreation Co! ion has endeavored to de-, gob # fl a> sie " TRACK From Page 6-A the running events and hopes to see improvement in the field events. "Running is definitely our strength,” she said. "Last year we had ‘trouble finding girls in the - field events but this year a lot of the new girls are showing a lot of promise in those events." Dooley has a young team over- all. She has only two seniors-- Suzette Feemster and Nete Moore- -but they should be among the best in the conference. Other members of the team are Reecie Barnes, Sheila Bryson, Emily Campbell, Lashay Carrier, Carlie Chambliss, Amanda Halmess, Keisha Coulter, Lori Edwards, Denisha Gaines, Dawn Hardin, Jacqueline Harmon, Gina Lewis, Christi McCleary, Carrie Moss, Douang Mounghane, Siamphone Phanthalack, Euarry Siphanthone, Bridget Williams, Kelli Hardy, Every Hutchinson and Sharice Kilgore. From Page 6-A "We made some fundamental er- rors that cost us a couple of times," he said. "But I was impressed with the way the kids handled the pres- sure late in the game. I was very impressed with East Gaston. I felt like they had the best outfield arms I've seen in high school since I've been here. We were real competi- tive against a real good baseball The Mountaineers left nine men on base, including six in scoring positions. Jenkins, Melton, Putnam and Caja Ormand finished with two hits apiece to lead the nine-hit KM attack. KM native Benji Postell, / Alan Bolin and Jerry Brooks had two hits each for East Gaston. Score by innings: R-H-E KM 0000012 3-9-2 EG 012100x 4-9-1 Tommy Payne, Donald Bell (3) and Raymond Couch; Aaron Pressley, David Forrester (7) and Brad Davis. WP - Pressley. LP - Payne. S - Forrester. David Hancock KM Recreation Director sign a facility which meets the spe- cific interests of the neighborhood while addressing facility deficien- cies cited in the recent Master Park and Recreation Plan. Through this effort, a park which consists of ar- eas for passive uses such as walk- ing, enjoying nature, picnicking or watching kids enjoy the play- ground equipment, can be devel- oped. Other interests or concerns about the project can be voiced at the public hearing on March 26. Neighborhood parks also pro- vide area residents with the flexi- bility of engaging in leisure pur- suits without having to, for example, pack the family in a car, drive to a place where mom and dad can walk while son and daugh- ter can play in the playground or JHEOW a frisbee. Ing essence, neg zh pony Grave pedo k borhood parks are the social focus for many communities and are an important factor in the selling or purchase of a house. As a park developed along a creek, Bridges Drive Neighborhood Park would also function as an important natural * buffer from any development which may occur to the south of ‘Hillside Drive. From an environ- mental standpoint, planting of trees and the addition of landscape mate- rials will improve the habitat for small animals such as birds, rabbits and squirrels. The aesthetics of the neighborhood would be improved by converting what is essentially an open field into a "greenway- type" park with a variety of attrac- tive park facilities and amenities. Many communities reserve open space, similar to the proposed park area, for trail development and oth- er passive pursuits in an effort to provide functional use of the city properties and easements. With property costs escalating and open space diminishing, the greenway or strip park has become an efficient, cost effective method of meeting the changing recre- ational interests of the public. Cities are able to use floodway ar- eas and various easements to de- velop trails which can link key fa- cilities of the community and thus provide avenues for alternative forms of transportation or recre- ation such as bicycling and walk- ing. There are as many reasons for developing neighborhood parks as there are prospective users. In this instance, the Park and Recreation Commission has worked to meet the needs of this area as expressed by Commission members living in the area and their contacts with neighbors. It is critical for those residents who desire this facility to make their thoughts known at the upcoming public hearing. Equally important, is for those who have concerns over security, compo- nents, design, etc. to express their concerns at this meeting. As always, the Parks and Recreation staff is eager to discuss this or other projects or programs with the public. We welcome your constructive comments and urge the public to become actively in- volved in shaping the recreation in- terests of this community. - Myers bowls 429 in duckpins Allen Myers turned in one of the top performances of the season in Mixed Duckpin Bowling League action Thursday night at Dilling Heating.
