Page 2A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, December 5, 1991 ®o Pole SRE a SHOE: a Dee Shirley, right, administers drug test to Bethware Elementary School bus drivers. Better safe than sorry Bethware bus drivers volunteer for drug test Six bus drivers from Bethware Elementary School huddled in an office storeroom Wednesday morn- ing getting ready to take drug tests. Dee Shirley from APPS Medical Services in Charlotte warned the drivers that any medication they had taken recently would show up on the tests -- they would even test for over-the-counter drugs. The six weren't nervous about it. They volunteered to take the tests. "As far as I know, this is the first in the state of North Carolina," said assistant principal Greg Payseur. "It was just to show the parents that we care about their children's safety," said bus driver Betty White. "I'm tired of people pointing fin- gers," said driver Charlie Strickland, "just because you drive a bus." Payseur said that on June 6 about 22 bus drivers held a meet- ing at the Western Steer and decid- ed that they would participate in drug testing if asked. The bus drivers got the monies for the test- ing on their own, he said. It costs about $40 per test. "We hope that all the bus drivers in Kings Mountain will follow suit and do this on their own," said White, who was the first of the drivers to mention voluntary test- ing. Payseur said that the bus drivers at Grover Elementary School have set up a time for voluntary drug tests next week, "Most of all, we want to thank our sponsors,” White said. Those who donated to pay for the testing included: Harper's Pharmacy, Clyde Short Co., Inc., Harris Funeral Home, James and Peggy Whetstine, T.D. Parnell & Sons and Country Kwik Shop. | Obituaries | WILLIAM HEFFNER William Cornelious Heffner, 71, of 202 Blanton Street, Kings Mountain, died December 1, 1991 at his home.
