Gaston County GOP barbecue din- toner, "To win this race, I will need strong support from Republicans and conservative Democrats in Gaston County,” Gardner said. "I : am confident that when we inform : voters about the issues, the majori- ty of them will agree with us." On education. Gardner calls for . more local control and less bureau- © cracy. "Local parents, teachers and principals know more about their local schools than the Raleigh bu- rcaucrats,” he said. "That's why 1 want to cut bureaucracy to ensure that more education authority and morc dollars reach the classrooms." To alleviate North Carolina's ris- ing crime rate, Gardner advocates a plan to build more prisons so the state can keep criminals locked up longer. "These new prisons don't need basketball courts and color television," Gardner said."I want to see barracks-style prisons and have the prisoners put in eight hours of work a day." Gardner has also taken a strong position to control government spending and hold down taxes. "Too many tax dollars are getting tied-up in the Raleigh bureaucra- cy," Gardner said." We don't need more spending and more taxes. We need better management.” Cleveland Memorial sets Open House Cleveland Memorial Hospital officials will hold open house Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. to show the public the new $35 million fa- cility which held ribbon cutting ceremonies Monday.

All patients admitted after that date will be admitted to the new facility. The light-colored brick building reaches five stories and extends 244,000-square feet. The 230 pa- tient rooms are private with private baths. "This is the newest, most mod- ern facility in the state," said CMH President Curtis Copenhaver. He called the hospital a dream of 12 to 14 years ago. Construction of the hospital be- gan three years ago after voters ap- proved a $25 million bond issue. Another $10 million was raised through contributions, savings and grants from the Duke Endowment. "Cleveland Memorial now com- pares with any major medical cen- ter," said Copenhaver. Staff reduction concer Vocational staff members in, the Kings Mountain school district arc concerned over a State Board of Education action to reduce state staff positions in the Department of -Public Instruction, according to District Vocational Director Betty Gamble. Similarly, teachers across the state arc upset over the plan to ex- pend $1 million less for state ad- ministration of vocational educa- tion than previously planned for 1992-93, says a press release from North Carolina Vocational Association. - : The $1 million would be sent to the local level on a competitive ba- sig in the form of grants, the re- lease said. "My teachers have been dis- cussing it," said Gamble, "and they're pretty upset.” Gamble said she feared services such as the annual summer work- shop, which was just held this month, would be sacrificed without state coordination from administra- lors. "We nced that week's time to keep up with what's going on in vocational education," she said. Furthermore, the state is now re- sponsible for curriculum develop- ment, and Gamble said that respon- sibility could not be addressed on a local level. Gamble said that it would defi- nitcly come down to hurting the students in the long run. "The impact will eventually be on the students,” she said, adding that student organizations on the state level would be affected. "We certainly could lose a whole lot more than we could gain," said Gamble. System Superintendent Dr. Bob McRae said he would take a wait and see stance. He said it could be positive but it was too early to tell.
