WATER From Page 1-A and at least one well in the area we hooked up one well for one resi- dent to get water while we were looking for parts to do the repairs. "We don't know what causes most water breaks and this is the second major one we've had in the last couple of weeks," said Ollis. "We were able to shut three valves and stop the leak but we have an odd size 20 inch asbestos and cement pipe to replace and this’ size is hard to find." Ollis said that summer thunder- storms and heavy rain had nothing to do with the break early Saturday, although he said lightning had "given the water lines a fit over the past several weeks." Ollis said when the line broke it ripped part of the highway and tore a hole big enough for a person to crawl into. PANTERS From Page 1-A Monday at 10 a.m. with NASCAR points leader Jeff Gordon on the pole.

All runners will receive a com- memorative Coca Cola/Carolina Panthers Run to History t-shirt. SHERRY From Page 1-A Now she tries to instill in the young people she meets the value of hard work and finds she has a tough skin when it comes to talk- ing to a healthy young man seeking a handout because he doesn't like to work. During the first half of this year the Crisis Ministry distributed $21,819.48 to the area needy, a ma- jority of that amount to what Hamrick calls the working poor. "Taxes, rent and food take most of one person's payroll check and in a family where only one person is the breadwinner it's hard," she said. Rent in Kings Mountain for a mobile home, for instance, can run $90 a week and for a person earn- ing $10 an hour in a regular job the major portion of take home pay goes for rent and utilities. Churches have been long sup- porters of the Crisis Ministry but Hamrick thinks churches can do even more by adopting a family and making that family account- able to the church for the help it gives them. She has seen that pro- gram work at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Kings Mountain and Elizabeth Baptist Church in Shelby. Sherry became a volunteer at the Food Bank at the Community Center after she read about the pro- gram in the church bulletin at Boyce Memorial ARP Church. Reading tutors and Crisis Ministry volunteers were needed. "I was a reading tutor for awhile “and helped several adults to learn to read but once I got started at the Crisis Ministry I guess I just fell in love with the program and the peo- ple," said Sherry. When the director's job came open she applied for it and was hired to run the office on Monday from 2-4 p.m., Wednesday from 10-12 noon and 2-4 p.m., Thursday from 2-4 p.m. and Friday from 10- 12 noon. In addition to the Food Bank, also at the Community Center, the Crisis Ministry operates a clothes closet at Kings Mountain Baptist Church which is open each MYERS From Page 1-A Sgt. Melvin Proctor was promoted to the criminal investigation divi- sion Myers was promoted sergeant of a five-member squad, which al- so includes a dispatcher. Married for 34 years to the for- mer Martha Raines, a local beauti- cian, he sings in the choir at First Baptist Church and lists his hob- bies as firearms training, target shooting and babysitting with his six-year-old grandchild, Kayla Buchanan. Other members of his family include two children, daughter Donna Lynn Keeter and son, Eric Myers, who is employed by the Gaston County School System. He is the son of Mrs. Willie T. Myers of Kings Mountain and the late Miles Henry Miles. He also has a half brother, Jerome Grant, and a sister, Sue Tesseneer. Myers' easy and friendly rapport with people has made him a popu- lar member of the Kings Mountain Police force, according to Hayes. "I like people and I like my job and hope that people will call on police and not just when there's trouble because we are public ser- vants and want to serve," he said.

SHELBY EYE CENTER Monday. She supervises at least a dozen volunteers. Sherry and her husband, Dan, formerly owned and operated Kawasaki Yamaha Motorcycle Company in Shelby. Married for 27 years, the couple moved to Kings Mountain in 1976 and built a new home in the Bethlehem Community. Daughter of Jones and Ruth Westbrook of Chapel Hill, she was born in Belmont and at- tended the Gaston County Schools. The family includes two chil- dren. Danny Hamrick of Raleigh is married to the former Sharon Stevenson and Kelley Ellis is mar- ried to Roger Ellis and they are parents of 10-months-old Jayme, the first grandchild and the pride and joy of the family. Sherry's fam- ily also includes one brother and two sisters. Sherry plans to help her husband on his part-time vending route and with his racing hobby. On Tuesdays the whole family watches Dan race Legends at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The church is very important to Sherry Hamrick. She became a Christian at age 27 and was raised in the Presbyterian faith. "I have been enjoying visiting churches in my community and in the area in recent weeks and feel that I can share my concerns about the needs I have seen in our com- munity with local pastors,” she says. "The Bible promises that God will take care of His people but Christians need to become more in- volved with others outside their own church circle of friends and get involved and make a differ- ence,” she said. Admitting to taking her work home with her, Hamrick said her telephone rings constantly because the needs are out there. "Kings Mountain is no different from the metropolitan areas, people are hurting and in need."
