Page 14A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, June 10, 1993 Grover residents complain to Town Board GROVER - Although the beer and wine election is now history in this small town the emotions still run high and some of them spilled over during the Monday night Town Board mecting. Grover KJo's owner Kay Saltz told the board that she was ap- palled that a person living in Grover would hire a private detec- tive to check out the residence of a Grover Republican elections judge. "People in Grover should be more concerned about each other," said Saltz who did not accuse any- one in the council chambers, but said she wanted everyone to know her opinion. Saltz took the board to task for not installing lights, as she said they had promised, on Main Street but the board, on motion of Sandra Ellis, decided against it. Saltz and her daughter, Cindy, and several other citizens asked that the board recant on a decision to allow citizens at board meetings TONY WARE Ware promoted by Carriage Ind. CALHOUN, GA. - Tony Ware, a Kings Mountain native, has been promoted to director of sales and marketing for Carriage Industries, a major carpet manufacturer. Ware, a 19 year veteran of the Calhoun based carpet manufactur- er, was formerly general sales man- ager for Carriage. He has held vari- ous sales and management positions. He and his wife, Kathy, and their two children, Scott; 22, and Tyler, 15, reside in Chattanooga, TN. Carriage Industries is a vertical- ly integrated manufacturer of car- pet for specialized markets. The company is a leading supplier to the manufactured housing, recre- ational vehicle, small boat and cx- position/trade show industries. Carriage also produces carpet for the contract/residential, hospitali- ty/commercial and home center needlebond markets. Carriage is a subsidiary of Dixic Yarns, Inc., headquartered in Chattanooga, TN. Most of Carriage's 800 employees are in Calhoun, GA. Sales offices and distribution centers are located across the United States. The com- pany's transportation subsidiary op- _erates one of the largest fleets in the industry. to be recognized only once to spcak three minutes on an issuc. "We pay taxes here and we pay your salarics," Kay Saltz said. Saltz a asked why she was de- nicd copies of the board's min- utes."It's public information and I'm willing to pay for them," she said. She also said sidewalks on Main Street arc chipping and arc in serious need of repairs and streets need swept. Saltz said that both she and her daughter sweep Main Street but they thought that mainte- nance employees should be respon- sible for the job. Saltz also suggested that the trees lining the streets in front of the businesses be trimmed or cut down and that a parking area be lined off, as she said the board had promised over a year ago. Jack Pollock asked the board to stick to its policy of not allowing heavy trucks to park for long peri- ods of time on Main Street. He re- ferred to a big flatbed truck that held two wrecked cars and adver- tised the recent beer and wine ref- erendum. "What's good for the goose 1s sauce for the gander,” said Pollock, who said the board had sent the police to tell other truck drivers to vacate the premises but shortly before the recent clection changed their minds. "You arc dis- criminating," he said. The board sct a two-hour park- ing policy for trucks over 3/4 ton and voted, on motion of Sandra Ellis, not to install lights on Main Street. Ellis said that the board is responsible for all streets in Grover, not just Main Street, and there are no funds to put up the ex- tra lights. Max Rollins, a newcomer, said he is interested in zoning and wants the town to adopt zoning or- dinances similar to Cleveland County or at least look into zoning. Mayor Ronald Queen said he would invite county planner Bill McCarter to a meeting to discuss steps to pursue the matter. Queen said the holdup of the street lights in front of KJo's and other downtown businesses is that Southern Railway is charging a one time lease agreement of $5762 plus the additional cost of the lights from Duke Power at $1200. Queen said there are no funds in the bud- get to pay for the lights. Saltz argued that the town can't afford not to put lights on Main Street. She said one accident could cost more than the initial cost of the lights. "You spend moncy on the ball park and no one uses it and you en- danger people's lives by inadequate lighting," she said. Spokesmen agreed that the may- or had been liberal in allowing them to speak more than once on the same subject and at length. However, other commissioners said the time limit should be main- tained and that citizens should ask to be placed on the agenda. "If everyone had 10 items to pre- sent like you have talked about tonight, we'd be here all night,” said Ellis to Saltz. After pushing the board for a decision on sweeping the streets, the mayor volunteered to do the job himself. "I object to that,” said Ellis. Attorney Colin McWhirter said that minutes of meetings don't be- come public record until they are approved by the board. "Grover is not a billion dollar town," said Qucen, defending the question about not spending moncy for more street lights. "I think you're doing a terrific job to spread the money," said Saltz. The preliminary budget of $249,000 was adopted by the board without comment.
