i i 1 a —— A — a mre FIXING WATER LINE - City employees repaired four breaks in a 20-inch water line on Crocker Road Monday and Tuesday. Hydrant flushing the rest of the week will eliminate the taste of rusty pipes, said City Engineer Tom Howard, who said city's hindsight in spending $12,000 last year to loop the system with a line down Phifer Road kept industries on Grover Road fully operational . County government leaders meet in Shelby Local school and city leaders came away from Friday's brain- storming session with other elected officials with no clear-cut plan to market Cleveland County but with some ideas on how to beef-up their individual corner of the county. Mayor Scott Neisler, City Manager George Wood, and Councilmen Al Moretz, Jim Guyton and Phil Hager attended the session on government interac- tion. School Supt. Bob McRae, Chairman Ronnie Hawkins and board members Shearra Miller, Sonny Peeler, Billy Houze and Priscilla Mauney attended the ses- sion on schools and community de- velopment. Economic development, county- wide zoning and improving educa- tional goals were the major priori- ties set by the large group in attendance at Cleveland Community College. Wood said suggestions were made for educational improve- ments by schools statewide to offer more math and science curriculum for kids aspiring for high tech jobs. Ronnie Hawkins said the group didn't get into the topic of county wide school consolidation which the Kings Mountain Board of Education has gone on record as opposing. ; Presenters said economic devel- opment could be achieved by progress in zoning and in the in- frastructure such as better water and sewer capabilities to encourage industry. It was the general consensus of the group to meet quarterly and take one topic and discuss it in depth rather than become bogged down in 10-12 topics. "Basically, the purpose of the fo- rum was to strengthen relationships ‘and awareness of mutual objectives that can be beneficial to the com- munity as a whole," said Peggy Bridges, president of the Cleveland County Chamber sponsoring the landmark work session. Wood said the group shared common concerns in economic de- velopment, community develop- ment and government interaction. "Everyone threw out ideas and opinions in a relaxed setting,” said Bridges, who pronounced the event highly successful.
