Dr. Yarbro
is promoted
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. - The
Board of Directors of Park
Scientific Instruments has an-
nounced the appointment of Dr.
Stan Yarbro as the President and
Chief Operating Officer of the cor-
poration.
Park Scientific Instruments was
founded in 1986 to develop the
new technology of Scanning Probe
Microscopes (SPM's). SPM's were
invented in 1982 at IBM's research
. facility in Zurich, Switzerland by a
team of scientists who were award-
ed the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1986 for this development. SPM's
allow scientists to view the surface
of different materials down to the
atomic level and in many cases,
can distinguish individual atoms.
This resolution allows scientist to
characterize the properties of new
metal alloys, semiconductors, and
insulators as well as investigate
biomedical interactions between
living cells and potential new
drugs. Park Scientific Instruments
was one of the pioneers in develop-
ing commercially available SPM's
and today is one of the world wide
industry leaders in both ambient
and ultra high vaccuum SPM's.
Dr. Yarbro has a Ph.D. in
Analytical Chemistry from the
Georgia Institute of Technology,
and a B.S. in Chemistry from Wake
Forest University. He has over 17
years experience in the analytical
instrument business prior to joining
Park Scientific Instruments.
Dr. Yarbro is a graduate of Kings
Mountain High School and is the
son of Ju Jim and Flora Lee Yarbro.

year to remain certified. The facili-
ty recruits nurses and assistants via
local community colleges.
At the 124-patient facility here,
all exit doors have alarms and the
alarm sounds continuously if the
door is opened. A trained profes-
sional routinely checks each pa-
tient every two hours day and
night. A doctor is available
around-the-clock, she said.
The facility offers intermediate
and skilled care with a 99 to 100
percent occupancy rate, according
to Alexander who joined the facili-
ty nearly three years ago. She was
transferred from a similar
Spartanburg, SC facility, one of 16
owned by Kent Cecil of
Spartanburg in the Carolinas.

of registered voters to call for the
special election," said White.
"The bottom line goal is to get
more and better qualified candi-
dates to come out and to encourage
more responsive and responsible
leadership," said White.
"Without accountable political
leadership the city can't possibly
progress. We are sitting in an area
with all the criteria that encourages
industry location and more and bet-
ter jobs but we can't do it without
good political leadership."
Blanton said this is the first ef-
fort in Cleveland County by citi-
zens calling for an election to
shorten terms of city officials.

Westmoreland heads retirement home group
Dean Westmoreland, retired edu-
cator and Grover farmer, will head
up the first major project of the re-
cently formed Consortium for
Progress Inc.
The ambitious project would be
built by private investors, privately
developed and privately run.
"We're not talking about a rest
home or a nursing home but a top
notch facility with apartments to
house residents as long as they are
able to maintain a home, a dormi-
tory building for those who can't
remain independent, a cafeteria,
and infirmary with a doctor and
nurse on duty," he said.
Westmoreland said the first step
for the new committee will be
looking at retirement centers. He
said he is anxious for other mem-
bers to see a beautiful retirement
center in Laurens, SC where his in-
laws reside.
Another project that
Westmoreland considers much
needed is an area adult day care
center.
Former mayor John Henry
Moss, consortium chairman, and
former Senator J. Ollie Harris, hon-
orary chairman, unveiled the
Consortium for Progress Inc. last
Wednesday. Moss said the organi-
Scholarship to honor Dr. Lee
A medical scholarship that
would obligate the recipient to
practice medicine in Kings
Mountain for at least three years
was established this week by the
Consortium for Progress Inc.
Dr. John C. McGill, retired fami-
ly doctor, said the scholarship will
honor the late Dr. Joe Lee, Kings
Mountain family doctor who died
recently of leukemia.
McGill said that tax-deductible
donations can be applied to the Dr.
Joe Lee Scholarship Fund and de-
posited at First Carolina Federal
Savings Bank.
Students already in medical
school may apply for the scholar-
ship by contacting McGill or other
members of the Citizens Health
Delivery Systems Inc., including
former Senator J. Ollie Harris, co-
chairman with McGill; Kelly
Bunch, Ernest Rome, Hubert

the fiscal year," he said.
In his memorandum, Nance said
that city staff is currently in the
process of seeking bids from all
area banks to administer the city's
four checking accounts. Nance will
hold a preproposal conference on
April 3 and will ask for bids by
April 17 with the awarding of bids
by Council on April 25.
Nance said that department
heads are working up budget pro-
posals/worksheets for 1995-96
with a deadline of April 1.
Johnson and treasurer Darrell
Keller.
"This scholarship would make it
possible for a medical student to
continue his or her education but
would also obligate him or her to
practice here for three years or re-
turn the money to another student,"
said McGill.
The scholarship fund was estab-
lished Monday night by the
Consortium's executive board as
the Dr. Joseph Lee Memorial
Scholarship in honor of Dr. Lee's
"outstanding dedication to the
practice of medicine and his influ-
ence on the community-at-large."
John Moss, chairman of the
newly-formed Consortium for
Progress Inc., said he was pleased
that "John McGill's outstanding
committee is working on behalf of
a most worthy project that will be
most helpful to the enhancement
of community life."
Nance said he will suggest to
Council that the annual budget re-
treat be held around the end of
April or first of May in order for
him to have more accurate projec-
tions on how the city will end the
current year budget and begin the
1995-96 budget.
Nance said he has authorized
Utility Director Jimmy Maney to
purchase a used bucket truck.
Maney said the boom on Unit 607
is unsafe to operate. Maney said
that he can stay within his current
gas/electric budgets by transferring
funds to pay for a used $37,000
1990 model cab and chassis with
new utility body and refurbished
boom.

zation would invest its own pool of
money and hopes to attract local fi-
nanciers to bankroll business ven-
tures in the area around Kings
Mountain. Two bankers at the
meeting, Gary Whitaker of First
Federal Savings Bank and Glenn
Anderson of BB&T, pledged sup-
port of the venture.
The Consortium would pay for
development projects, such as the
retirement center, to better the
community.
Another major project will be
announced soon by the committee
on health delivery headed up by
Dr. John C. McGill.
A 19-member board of gover-
nors will oversee a nonprofit foun-
dation using investments and
working with local governments to
push community projects and two
for-profit corporations, working
much like an economic develop-
ment commission with Moss as
chairman.
"We will be non-political," said
Moss. He said the group will meet
on the second Tuesday night of
each month. He said news media:
will be notified of the meetings.
"We want to fill the gap that
government won't do or takes too
long to do," said former city com-
missioner Jim Childers, who chairs
the committee on cultural beautifi-
cation and restoration.
Wendell Bunch, chairman of the
committee on environmental and
natural resources, said he wants to
actively recruit interest in a region-
al airport and a regional landfill.
He says the city needs to make use
of Moss Lake as a money maker.
Cecil Dickson, chairman of the
county board of commissioners,
commended the group for their
goals. "We are always interested in
progress in Cleveland County," he
said.
Moss said the reason he is
chairing the committee on econom-
ic development is because that's his
background of expertise.
DIRECTOR
From Page 1-A
A student, Todd Blanton, works
in this department on weekends.
The facility has two social work-
ers, director Donna Stallings and
her assistant, Teresa Toney.
"These two departments make a
difference in the quality of life for
our residents," says Alexander.
Alexander said a $2,000 memo-
rial donation from C. R. and A. L.
Boyles has enabled the facility to
purchase a much-needed piano for
the dining room, a self player
which provides taped music for the
enjoyment of residents. Flora
Green, mother of the Boyles broth-
ers, a long-term resident, died re-
cently at the age of 104.
