The mayor said DOT plans to for rehabilitation improvements to the City Lake and Davidson Lake dams at cost of $6500.

Faile performed with Smith for 18 1/2 years, and was always one of that troupe's most popular mem- bers. He was not only well-liked as a singer of country and gospel music, but also for his comedy. For years, he teamed with the late Ralph Smith to form the hilari- ous Brother Ralph and Cousin Fud comedy team. Everywhere he‘goes; Faile says, fans recall his most famous recordingy ‘The Brown Mountain Light," and some of his most famous comedy and commercial quips such as "You're standing on my righ-toe" and "If it's fresher than Bost it's still in the stove." In addition to radio and TV shows, members of Smith's team traveled all over the southeast performing with top Grand Ole Opry stars and also performing in local communities and schools. He loved meeting the fans - and still does. ‘Faile had a chance to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry but turned it down because he dread- ed the heavy travel schedule, and also because he and his wife were just beginning their family. "I've always been one to love to play and sing, but I've always been content to go fishing and have a good time," he said. "I've never been interested in pursuing that type of ca- reer.” Faile has appeared on the Opry as a guest on several occasions and has worked with virtually every "old" Opry star such as Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Ray Price, Carl Smith, Faron Young and Little Jimmy Dickens. Faile has always believed in offering good, whole- some entertainment, and refuses to sing any song that has a curse word in it or relays any kind of negative message. He still enjoys performing for churches and small groups. "I still love to just sit on a stool and sing songs and tell stories," he says. After leaving Arthur Smith in 1968, Faile had his own syndicated TV show for four years while continu- ing to do personal appearances, record and write. His top-selling song is "The Brown Mountain Light," which is a North Carolina legend, and the best song he ever wrote was "Phantom Three O Nine, which was recorded by Red Sovine and sold a million and a half copies. It was voted as the number one song in the na- tion by truckers in 1977. "I've just done a conglomerate of things," he laughed. He didn't plan to become a radio disc jockey, but it came naturally, too. Several years ago, he noted, a friend who hosted an all-night country show in Charlotte asked Faile to fill in for him while he took a week's vacation. That eventually led to his own Country Gold Show on K-97 in Charlotte, and since that time he's hosted country shows on several other area stations. He joined WKMT several weeks ago and is enjoy- ing meeting folks in the Gaston-Cleveland County ar- eas. "I still love to perform," he says. "Everywhere I go people ask me how old I am. I tell them I've been in business a lot of years. They ask me when I'm going to retire and I tell them when I can't tote a note. As long as I'm able to play and sing I'm going to keep it up." Faile has won numerous awards for singing, writing and commercials, but, loving people as he does, he said the best compliment he ever received was several years ago when he was doing his all-night radio show for WBT in Charlotte. "I played one of my own songs by request," he re- called. "At 3 a.m. the phone rang and a lady told me that her mother who was 93 and had been in a coma for several days awoke as the record was playing and said, 'Is that Tommy Faile singing, the man I love to hear so well?" Believe me, that makes it all worth- while." Stock #9889, Pwr. Locks, Cruise/Tilt, AM EW SERPIPEITEETEVAPRM GE Stock #1172-C. Wine. Auto, Pwr.

MOUNTAIN STREET, CHERRYVILLE, NC 28021 GENERAL DENTISTRY TELEPHONE: 435-9696 arrests in 1993, which compared to 23 in 1991; 24 in 1991; and 34 in 1990. A total of 504 suspects were ar- rested for larceny in 1993, com- pared to 472 in 1992; 483 in 1991; and 536 in 1990. June was the big month for larceny investigations, a total of 67 reported by police. In December, only 10 people were booked for larceny but 60 people were charged in April, 46 in January, 45 in August and November, 44 in May and July; 41 in September; 31 in March; 30 in February; and 27 in October. Police were on the scene of 258 burglaries in 1993, compared with 227 in 1992; 207 in 1991; and 143 in 1990. The high month for burglaries was October with 35 arrests. Goforth said the crime rate is up all over the United States in com- munities, large and small. And he predicts that calls for services won't decline. "We appreciate the citizens who call us, that's what we're here for." "But the trend in the future for all police may have to be to look at the nature of the calls and work to handle some of them in the police station rather than dispatching offi- cers to the scene."
