ROTARY GOVERNOR VISITS memento to Kings Mountain Rotary President Jerry King at Thursday's meeting at Kings Mountain Country Club.

C., she was the widow of James William Skinner and daughter of the late Andrew Jackson and Ida Burns Simpson. She was a retired textile employee and a member of Jehovah's Witness. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Betty Clary of Gaffney, Mrs. Helen Childers of Kings Mountain, and Mrs. Emma Rhinehart of Merritt Island, Ga.; two sons, Kenneth Skinner and Harry Skinner, both of Gaffney; 25 grandchildren; 52 great-grandchil- dren and 25 great-great grandchil- dren. - The funeral was conducted Wednesday at 3 p.m. at Shuford- From Pfige 1-A for Bethware's and North's percent- ages being out of range. He said minority students from Pine Manor Apartments, who had attended East in the past but were moved to Bethware this year, numbered 60 last year in grades K-5. This year there are only 35 K-5 students from Pine Manor attending Bethware. McRae said his staff and Bethware Principal Hugh Holland have been working hard to locate those other students. Some have moved into the North zone, some into Gaston County and others out of state. "If the numbers were the same as last year, Bethware's num- bers would be clearly within the five-percent range," McRae said. A factor for North's high per- centage, McRae said, is that the number of minority students from Carolina Garden Apartments in- creased from 22 last year to 28 this year. "Even if those numbers had stayed fairly close, the situation at North would still be out of bal- ance," McRae said. "But it's better to make the changes at the end of the year rather than moving chil- dren after school has started. Thirty-six percent is not a situation that cannot be dealt with. We need to let the children have a good sol- id year." McRae said another factor could be that some students are attending schools out of their attendance zone. He said his staff will contin- ue to monitor that situation "and try to make sure everybody's going where they're supposed to be." He said the system allowed fifth graders who had been moved into another attendance zone to stay at their old school.

It would take 24 students to bring North into the plus five percent range. McRae suggested that the board look at the numbers again in late winter or early spring. "We're off to a very good start," McRae said. "We really appreciate the people helping the children get settled into a new routine. The chil- dren have adjusted well." Board members made several suggestions that may help balance the figures. Doyle Campbell suggested that in the future the board allow the superintendent to make necessary changes during the first week of DAVID BURRIS David Andre Burris, 24, of Lake Montonia Road, died September 7, 1991 at Kings Mountain Hospital.

"That's before children are settled in and is less disruptive," he said. Billy Houze suggested that ma- jority students transferring into the system be assigned to North School. "We all have concerns of staying within the plus or minus five per- cent, but realize that this year there were several reasons why the im- balance occurred," said Chairman Billy King. "We need to continue to verify address and, if incorrect, re-direct those students."

Mayor Pro Tem Ronald Queen said he had been advised by the Cleveland County Board of Elections that qualified registrars from the Kings Mountain and Shelby area can render the service. Questions about the current leash law and noise ordinance came from citizens but police say the laws need to be tougher to be enforced. City Attorney Bill Lamb was authorized to look into both ordinances and make recommenda- tions at the next meeting. Customers complaining with higher-than-usual water bills got a fa SD EE Rr j TY TIEN (0 break. The board, after lengthy dis- cussion, authorized a one-time-per- year adjustment to utility cus- tomers in which they would pay the minimum only for sewer charge. "We've been pretty stern and made no exceptions but folks with water leaks have been getting big bills and it's time to set a prece- dent, " said Queen. Commissioner Tim Rowland suggested that the board give the one-time adjustment and clerk Sheila Camp was asked to make the adjustment for anyone filing a complaint by October 10. Rowland said bills had been higher for some customers since January 1 due to leaks and other water prob- lems. "We need to give every citizen in Grover the same treatment," said Commissioner Sandra Ellis. Ann McCarter Traugh asked if KINGS MOUNTAIN NC any customers in Grover were get- ting preferential treatment and Queen said that only Grover Rescue Squad and Grover Fire Department were excused from paying water bills in lieu of of a di- rect donation. Ellis objected to Traugh's questions during the meeting, noting that visitors are given an opportunity to speak at the opening of the meeting. Lamb said it was at the discretion of the chair to recognize people before they speak. "Are you saying it isn't legal for a citizen to ask ques- tions?" asked Traugh of the attor- ney. "No," he said, "but there's an orderly way to do it." Traugh asked for a copy of the statutes regarding the rights of a citizen to speak at a council meeting.
