board member recognition for out-
standing volunteer scrvice.
Lifetime board member Dr. Avery
. McMurray made the plaque pre-
sentation.
Besides family and church, Red
Cross is the love of her life, al-
though Lynne is modest about the
long hours she has volunteered and
what Red Cross officials say is su-
perb leadership of the Kings
Mountain blood program over
many years. ;
"Red Cross' overall service to
the community is vital," says
Mauney, who says the Cleveland
Chapter is one of the leaders in the
blood program and its Chapter
House is the envy of others in the
region. Some residents may not
know they can visit the Chapter
House in Shelby on Tuesdays by
appointment and be a autologous
donor--give blood for yourself in
event of surgery. There are also a
number of on-going classes, in-
cluding disaster training, CPR, and
+ safety classes.
In Kings Mountain only a small
percentage of the population gives
a pint of blood at blood visits but
Lynne says the cooperation at vis-
its is outstanding. "Our chapter has
a record of achieving our goal
bascd on the population with a ter-
rific turnout of work force at cach
visit," she said. Giving blood is
safc and simple, she says, if you
arc in good health, weigh at lcast
110 pounds and are at lcast 17
years old. Most pcople don't realize
they can give a pint of blood five
times a year, she said, and most
donors give only onc pint a year.
One unit of blood, however, bene-
fits many and technological ad-
vances have greatly increased the
uses of blood.
Lynne takes credit for the deli-
cious soup she makes every winter
to serve to 200 at the Red Cross
canteen during the winter visits of
the regional blood collecting unit.
The soup has been a favorite of
blood donors for years.
Lynne Wagner of Statesville and
. RUSSIA
From Page 1-A
ber one super power in the world,"
/ she said.
Alekseeva said the Russian im-
pression of all Americans is that
they are rich and live in luxury.
She finds Americans quite different
from Europeans. Recently she at-
tended a concert in Freedom Park
in Charlotte and was appalled to
see Americans sitting on the
ground in what she calls their uni-
J { form, t-shirts.
i Tanya, as she likes to be called,
i speaks German and English fluent-
Ly ly. She studied English for 10 years
: in public school and college.
in Are American students any dif-
ferent from Russian students, she
was asked. "They all know the
same tricks" she said candidly.
During a six week course she is
teaching at UNCC, Alekseeva is
exploring Russian theory and polit-
ical history. It is her third visit to
Charlotte and Sunday was her first
to Kings Mountain. Bridges
served an all-American meal: hot
1% (dogs and hamburgers, corn on the
«Y/cob, and homemade peach ice
Rcream with Southern pound cake.
\ "I like Southern hospitality," said
Alekseeva.
{| Martha Bridges said she was fas-
“nated with Russia when she and
" husband toured there. When
Te learned that Alekseeva was in
harlotte she called the UNCC
ampus and invited her and her
ponsor, Dr. Mike Corwin, to sup-
er. Alekseeva heads the depart-
nent of political philosophy in the
Russian Academy of Sciences’
Institute of Philosophy in Moscow.
The institute has an exchange
agreement with UNCC.
In Russia today Alekseeva said
what people used to talk about in
the kitchen they can now talk about
now in the streets. In the last year,
she said the whole system was
turned upside down.
“The Russia we saw in 1988 was
just like America in 1929," said
Martha Bridges.
Alekseeva said her father, 81,
was among the thousands of
Moscovites who received food
from America. For them democra-
tization has brought opportunities
and difficulties. She now finds it
easier to meet with Western col-
leagues, but her pocketbook has
felt the effect of shortages and in-
flation. Despite economic prob-
lems, she says she laughs, has a
good time. :
"We never could predict the dif-
ficulty of the change. We get let-
ters, we have warm water, central
heating, the telephone works. Life
goes on."
She stressed that Russia needs
more money from abroad. Anti-
democratic forces are powerful,
she points out, and use every short-
age to further their cause.
About the only thing she doesn't
like about this area is the summer
heat wave. "I've become the big
Southern patriot in Charlotte,” she
laughed.
She predicted that younger lead-
ers will run the government in ‘the
Soviet Union.
"Don't come to Russia now," she
says. "Wait a few years until things
settle down."
ORDINANCE
Allen Withrow, who owns the
largest mobile home park in the
| city -- 38 units off Gold Street --
has completed extensive improve-
ments at his park. Wood said the
Park "has improved dramatically
and had a bearing on the city
‘council's decision to consider a re-
- peal of the ordinance."
i Joe Ann and Don Crawford and
, James J. and Frances Crawford
own Deal Street Mobile Home
{ii Park, ;
Jim Amos owns the East Gold
Street Park.
‘| Park owners Withrow and
Li Foes fearing they would have
or close up and move, have hired
+ ‘attorneys to fight the action in
i court.
Crawford said a lawsuit could
«weaken the N.C. law of amortiza-
tion against adult book stores and
billboard signs, both of which are
included with junk cars in the use
Jaw under study by the General
At the January 19, 1991 Council
‘meeting commissioners told the
threc park owners their manufac-
tured housing parks must be built
to standards and all three owners
said they doubted they could con-
© form to new R-6 mobile home
zone classifications and the new
; | 4 “ordinance would put them out of
business. At that meeting council
extended from three to five years
the amortization period for parks to
come in compliance with new
codes and added an additional ycar
in financial hardship for park own-
ers to recoup their losses.
Park owners maintained at the
time that Council's decision was
, merely "a softening of the blow."
0 Withrow, of Charlotte, said at
the time that he was not defending
ithe accusations because "I was em-
barrassed to sce the condition of
i property but the city council
tok an absolutely wrong approach
toysolution of the problem.”
LHow can the council take away
our Yivelihood and housing for pco-
ple who can't afford to live clse-
whelfc?" asked Amos at the time.
}
{
"Where will the people go?"
City Council's decision last year
was seen as either a victory for
neighborhoods or a blow to afford-
able housing and landlords, de-
pending on who was talking. City
officials said the parks were built
before the city passed its building
codes.
"If these parks adhere to stan-
dards there's no way we could put
them out of business,” said
Commissioner Al Moretz at that
meeting. He said the new zoning
provides for less density, 20 feet
paved streets, paved driveways,
underground utilities, buffer strips
around the parks, and a "very nice
neighborhood for people to live
in."
Amos said last year that some of
his tenants make too much money
to live in public housing and can't
afford other apartments. He said if
his park closed that some of the
tenants would have to move in
with relatives.
Charles Mauncy of Kings
© Mountain, son of Mrs. Carl [I<
Mauncy, met on a blind date as col-
lege students and were officially
introduced by Lynne's cousin,
Annc Mayes Ware of Kings
Mountain. "We had scen cach other
as children swimming at Lake
Montonia but had never dated until
Anne asked us out onc evening,”
said Lynne, daughter of Mrs. Jack
~ Wagner, sister of Mrs. Lib Mayes.
Marricd 34 ycars, the Mauncys
lived in Kinston for two ycars be-
fore returning to Charles Mauncy's
hometown, where they reared four
children: Leigh Mauncy Davis,
who is marricd to Wally Davis of
Statesville and parents-of Hiley, 3,
and Hunter, 11 months; Cathy
Keibel who is married to Bill
Kiebel of Denver, Colorado and
they have a thrce-months-old
daughter Hanna; Carla Mauncy
Matheson who is married to Colin
Matheson and they live in Golden,
Colorado; and Stephen Mauncy, a
graduate student at Appalachian
State University.
Lynne calls her three grandchil-
dren, the three H's and they call her
"honey" instead of Grandma.
Active on the board of trustees
for Lutheran Family Services of
North Carolina, Lynn sees the pro-
gram as a hands-on gospel and a
wonderful servant of the people
dealing with problems of family
crisis and an effective prison min-
istry in addition to broadening its
children's program. In Cleveland
County three churches have pur-
chased a home as a community
based alternative for kids to live
who are delinquent or having prob-
lems at home. As a member of the
board of the Children's Home
Society, she helped expand an
adoption program to include hard
to place and older children.
In Kings Mountain she is active
in St. Matthew's Lutheran Church.
She helped co-edit the Centennial
booklet for the Kings Mountain
celebration and volunteers with
Gastonia Community Concerts and
Kings Mountain Symphony,
among other activities.
