i i i ER Page 4A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, Octo (ETE EATERS. 1 j BOAT From Page 1-A said she was looking at a stern- wheeler 65-100 feet long and two barges wide which would accom- modate 100-150 passengers for a dinner cruise which would end at midnight. She said when she stated toying with the idea of asking the city for a permit, she had no idea the pro- - .... ject would mushroom. Even with a permit she said she didn't know if the proposal would get off the ground. "It may take a year or two _ to get a boat out there. All this may be so far out in left field that it can't happen.” Hays said she is talking to in- vestors to try to bring a boat simi- ‘lar to the Lake Norman sternwheel- er from the Ohio River but transporting it would be expensive. A boat dock would also have be built. "The primary purpose of Moss Lake is Kings Mountain water's supply and that must be our priori-- ty," said Pruette. Buford Cline. Bill Robinson, Burney Stephens, Jerry Ivester, Jerry Sneed, and Howard Harrill said they opposed the venture be- cause of potential noise and trash and space problems. Commission member J. D. Barrett questioned “~ Hays about docking and Pruette re- minded that the city ordinances prohibit beer and wine on the lake and he was doubtfui city fathers would change the ordinance. "I'm not a drinker and beer and wine isn't an issue," said Hays, who suggested it would be nice to offer wine with meals on a dinner cruise. Pruette said he didn't see how the board could grant a permit, un- + der a speculative proposal and re- minded that most people must post *. - bid bonds. Larry Wright said he was told when he built at Moss Lake that no business would, be permitted. He said he moved from Lake Norman because of the congestion of the waters. Cline cautioned the board to "take no chances in contaminating the drinking supply.” Robinson said he lived in Sterling, Illinois on the Rock River in a similar size population and a cruise boat lasted three months and went bankrupt. "If you pass this venture you should require that the developers maintain a bond and if they go ‘under they be required to remove the eyesore from the lake." Stephens said he was concerned with possible pollution. "I don't” think the lake is big enough for a boat that size.” The board voted 5-0 against the proposal. Evelyn Hamrick's mo- tion to deny was seconded by Barrett. City Council has the final say on the issuance of lake permits. Usually, city board takes the rec- ommendation of its advisory board. "We appreciate Lake residents coming to the meeting tonight and invite you to attend the monthly meetings to keep informed," said Pruette. In other actions, the board okayed Tony Berry's request to re- move stumps and brush from his yard. That recommendation will al- so be on the upcoming city council agenda. Other commission members pre- sent were Chuck Ballew, Paul Ledford and Billy Hawkins. Chairman Joe Smith was absence due to illness. HM Kings Mountain Planning & Zoning Board has canceled its meeting scheduled for October 22 since no scheduled items of busi- ness are on the agenda, according to Planning Director Eugene White. ber 15, 1992 > AE Fa 3 3 i NEW KIWANIS PRESIDENT - Jim Potter accepts a congratulatory handshake from Jim Dancy, Lieutenant Governor of the Carolinas Kiwanis, as he is inducted as President of the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club Thursday.

The Task Force was divided into five sub-commit- tees: Health, Transportation/Infrastructure, Economic Development, Education and Historical, Cultural Arts.

The results were that a number of recommenda- tions were made that hopefully will enhance the future ‘Attend town meeting in KM Earlier this year a Task Force of 150 people were in- volved in a series of meetings to study and discuss the future of Kings Mountain and Cleveland County.

New kidney stone treatment available Shock wave lithotripsy, the latest technological advancement in kid- ney stone treatment is now avail- able at Kings Mountain Hospital. Provided through a joint venture of Kings Mountain Hospital and the Carolinas Mobile Lithotripsy Service, this technology allows for the most up-to-date treatment of kidney stones. This method smashes kidney stones without surgery by focusing sound waves onto it, allowing the patient to pass the pulverized stone naturally. Kidney stones are a com- mon medical ailment in this part of the country. Most are formed in the urinary: tract from calcium and ox- alic acid'in the kidneys. "We're very pleased to have this service available to our patients," said Huitt Reep, Kings Mountain Hospital administrator. "With the use of this new equipment, we can treat the majority of our kidney stone patients locally." During this treatment, the patient is positioned on a specially de- signed table with a water-filled cushion positioned against the low- er back and kidney area. X-rays are used to determine the exact loca- tion of the stone or stones, then carefully focused shock waves are transmitted through the cushion in- to the kidney disintegrating the stone. No surgical incision is re- quired and the procedure is nor- mally performed on an outpatient basis. Clinical experience has demonstrated a success rate greater than 95 percent in lithotripsy pro- cedures. At Kings Mountain Hospital, pa- tients will be treated by Dr. S. N. Nara, a Kings Mountain urologist with the assistance of Ms. Lise Black, director of lithotripsy for the Carolinas Mobile Lithotripsy Service. Other hospital and Carolinas staff members will also be involved. Along with Kings Mountain Hospital, the Carolinas Mobile Lithotripsy Service travels to eight other hospitals including Frye Gary Stewart... covers vnivinnes Elizabeth Stewart Shirdey AUSHN o..coveiiirennnnn Bili Fulton Established 1889 Published Thursday at East King Street at Canterbury Road, Kings Mountain, North Carolina 28086, USPS 931-040, by Republic Newspapers, Inc.-2nd Class postage paid in Kings Mountain Darel AUBIN a Publisher WRAITH Advertising Representative Editor News Editor Cheryl Pullen Deniece Talbert.

"By listen- ing to our callers, the 31 partici- pants become a problem solver, able to handle the irate caller, take appropriate action and most of all to learn to put customers first." Pam Massey, manager of corpo- rate/external affairs for Southern Bell, helped arrange both seminars and also was highly pleased with the response. Thursday's session will open with registration at 9 a.m. Kings Mountain native Judy Byers Ross, Southern Bell staff manager, Human Resources, will lead partic- ipants in identifying their own stress levels through stress assess- ment surveys and then identifying the cause of the stress and experi- ence relaxation techniques and biofeedback to deal with it.
