Grover students show reading gain Grover Elementary second grade students in the Chapter I reading program showed the high- est gains in reading comprehension among 234 Chapter I students on the California Achievement Tests. Jean Thrift, reporting to the re- cent meeting of the Kings Mountain Board of Education, said the system-wide average was 16 and Grover students had gains of 22.02 followed by West with 18.57, East with 18.52; North with 13.07 and Bethware with 7.18. Thrift said it is the first time gain for the system and she credited the success with the one-on-one tutori- - al program called CORE in which first graders are tested at the begin- ning of the year and tested again at the end of their first year of school. "The federal government expects us to make at least 1 NCE gain to qualify for Chapter I funds," she told the board. Thrift said the classroom teach- er takes 30 minutes each dgy in a prescribed format which is an adaptation of the national validated program called "Reading Recovery." She said that the use of comput- Free business counseling The Small Business and Technology Development Center at Western Carolina University's Center for Improving Mountain Living will offer free business counseling sessions in Boiling Springs on Wednesdays, August 9 and 23, and in Shelby on Thursdays, August 17 and 31.

The sessions involve one-to-one counseling with an experienced counselor familiar with small busi- ness operations and problems. The ers in Chapter I classes has also en- hanced the program. Thrift said the system is getting about half the money it got three years ago for special programs be- cause the county falls under the 15 percent statistic of poverty as de- fined by the government to qualify. "We are not considered a poor county," she told the board. The federal government targets schools at highest percentage of poverty, less than 35 percent, for money for free and reduced lunch- es, for instance, and other pro- grams. sessions set one-hour sessions are confidential and open to individuals who oper- ate existing businesses or those in- terested in starting a small busi- ness. Services provided include startup counseling, assistance in preparing business and financial plans to support loan applications, marketing surveys, patent search and product feasibility assessment.

World Championship Boxing It Could Happen To You The Family Channel Disney Channel ESPN Wyatt Earp USA Network Wolf TBS Yarbro Crest assistant principal Increasing parental and commu- nity involvement, and assuring stu- dents that they have an equal op- portunity to learn are two goals that the newly-appointed assistant principalat Crest High School hopes to achieve. John Yarbro, Jr. of Kings Mountain was named the new as- sistant principal at Crest High School by the Cleveland County Board of Education last week. "We want everyone to have the opportunity to learn," said Yarbro. "One challenge that's in schools now, and it's just a small percent- age of the student body, is that apa- thetic kid." Yarbro said that students who do not care about their education often create disruptions in the classroom, causing interruptions in the learn- ing process. Yarbro said he does not want a disruptive student to hinder the chance for another stu- dent to learn, and that parental sup- port and encouragement will help curve this problem. Yarbro would also like to see an increase in the amount of community involvement within the schools. Yarbro said he will assume his duties as assistant principal at Crest in August, and that he feels fortunate to work with Roger McSwain, the new principal at Crest High School. McSwain replaces George Litton, who retires on July 31. "It is going to be a changing of the guard," said Yarbro. "Dr. Litton has been there a long time. Mr. McSwain comes highly recom- mended, and I'm looking forward to working with him." Yarbro has been in the field of education for 15 years. For 14 of those years, he served as a health and physical education teacher and assistant football coach at Crest Middle and Crest High Schools. Yarbro coached golf at Crest Middle for 12 years, and served as athletic director. In 1990, he moved to Crest High School when JOHN YARBRO Crest Junior High became a middle school, and served as assistant principal of Crest Middle School for the 1994-95 school year. During the 1993-94 school year, Yarbro served as an interim assis- tant principal at Crest High School. Yarbro graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 1976, and received his degree in health and physical education from Appalachian State University in Boone in 1980. He also did his student teaching at Crest in 1980. Yarbro later received his masters degree in physical education from Gardner-Webb College, and he ob- tained his degree in school admin- istration from Gardner-Webb in 1993, according to Yarbro. As assistant principal at Crest Middle School, he served as eighth grade principal, athletic director, and was in charge of bus trans- portation. He said the position as the middle school assistant princi- pal was "a tremendous learning ex- perience." Away from school, Yarbro en- joys coaching and playing sports, and hunting. He also enjoys work- ing in the yard of his home on Moss Lake. Yarbro is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Yarbro Sr. of Kings Mountain. He is married to Regina Patterson Yarbro of Kings Mountain, and they have two chil- dren. Jessica, 6, is in the first grade at Bethware Elementary School, and Emily is 2. The Yarbros are members of Boyce Memorial A.R.P. Church in Kings Mountain, where John serves as a deacon. "I really respect the faculty at Crest High School," said Yarbro. "By teaching there, I know a lot of them, and I know they are hard workers. They are committed to Crest High School. Not only are they good teachers, but they are good people." Winn-Dixie reports dividend Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., the na- tion's fifth largest food chain, today increased its cash dividends for the 52nd consecutive year.
