eae i INFRACTIONS From Page 1-A Given the state personnel laws re- garding public employees, neither the specific infractions nor the dis- ciplinary action can be made pub- lic. However, we do not believe the ‘infractions suggest any serious problems within the department. We also believe that overall the electric department is functioning well, and has saved the city a con- siderable amount of money on the recent bond improvements." Hambright, who was fired June 26 for failure to observe proper safety procedures, said he and oth- er employees were allowed to play basketball and other activities on city time. ; Hambright lost his job after a transformer fell from a city truck but he said neither of the two other employees on the job were disci- plined. City officials say Hambright was the crew member responsible for tieing the equipment. Damages amounted to $1,000. Wood said Kings Mountain, and most cities, use inclement weather ‘days when electric, street, and pub- lic works crews aren't on the streets for safety training classes and for clean-up duty. Inclement weather, he said, intensifies power outages, tree limbs in lines have to be re- moved, and employees in every department of the city must be ready for emergency situations. M-DAY From Page 1-A Store will sponsor the hot air bal- loon rides. The day's activities will be topped off with a street dance to music by "Mink" and fireworks. Mountaineer Day will commem- orate the 212th anniversary of the October 7, 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain. Falls said the city is planning the event early so local citizens can attend both the Kings Mountain celebration and the an- nual Cleveland County Fair. Members of the Recreation com- mission chaired by Mayor pro tem Norma Bridges completed plans for the celebration at Tuesday night's meeting. HAMMETT § From Page I-A about five years. After completing bereavement classes and talking with other people who had lost loved ones, she said she found it easier to return to her job and also to return to church and sit in the fa- miliar pew she had shared with her husband. __. "Hospice and our church have helped me to cope,” said Pearl who - was married nearly 47 years to Booty Hammett, who got that nick- name from his young brother try- ing to say "brother." Pearl Dixon and Booty Hammett met at Griffin Drug Store in 1944. Booty had been wounded in the Army in the legs and had been using crutches. She saw him sitting on a Coca Cola crate and it was love at first sight. After his hitch with Uncle Sam in World War II they were married and start- ed housekeeping in a little house on Cherokee Street. Pearl worked at Hightower's Store for 14 years and Hammett worked at Foote Mineral Company. Hammett said the support of her close-knit family helped her "get through the bad times." The family includes two daughters, Ann, who is married to Rick Harmon of Myrtle Beach, and Teresa, who is married to Joe Williams of King Mountain, and three grandsons, Greg Williams, a student at Liberty University; Blair Williams, a stu- dent at KMHS, and Ryan Wood, a student at Myrtle Beach, SC High School. Hospice of Cleveland County served 168 patients, a 16 percent increase, in 1991, and admitted 135 patient/families, giving 11,719 days of care compared with 10,938 days of care in 1990. Forty-one new volunteers were trained and added to the volunteer roster. Grand Otening Pizza Post 213 E. King St. Kings Mountain, NC 739-5455 Carry Out Or Delivery Hours: 4-till 11 Tues. - Sun.
