| RARSIVETRRIFRS REYNOLDS From Page 1A job at the Kings Mountain Police Department. Born in Hattiesburg, Reynolds moved to Kings Mountain with his family when he was nine months old. He is the son of Dot Reynolds and the late Tom Reynolds, a Kings Mountain na- tive. He and Cecile Williams married 31 years ago and have two sons, Mike, who is pastor of Mount Vernon Methodist Church in Trinity, and Todd, who is an assis- tant minister of First Wesleyan Church in Bessemer City. The family also includes Mike's wife, Janet, who is expecting their first grandchild in March, and Todd's wife, Michelle. Mrs. Reynolds is a nursing assistant at Gaston Memorial Hospital and made a career change from a secre- tary several years ago. Mike, a for- mer Gaston County policeman, is finishing up his last semester at Duke Divinity School. Reynolds' face glows when he talks about how his sons influenced his Christian life and the whole family's activity in First Wesleyan Church and his involvement with the Gideons. Active in the Kings Mountain Camp of Gideon International of which he is memorial Bible chair- man, Reynolds also volunteers at the Children's Homes of Cleveland County and is vice-chairman of Region C Law Enforcement. He is vice-chairman of the board of First Wesleyan Church Reynolds would recommend law enforcement as a career for a dedi- cated and committed man or wom- an but he thinks more law enforce- ment education is essential. Sgt. Bynum Cook was also a big influence in his young life as a cop. "He was the first man I rode with when I joined the force," he said. Reynolds and Hayes have worked together throughout their law enforcement career. "I worked a couple of times in Bob's squad when he was a Sergeant and his philosophy cer- tainly compares with mine about giving the best service we can to Kings Mountain citizens," he said. Reynolds, 49, has completed 2,141 hours of law enforcement training, including 350 hours at the Drug Enforcement Academy in Washington, DC and 50 hours at the National Training Institute in the nation's capitol. He also trained 352 hours at the N. C. Justice Academy in Salemburg. In the detective division he was in charge of internal investigations an prior to his promotion to lieu- tenant was in charge of priority cases and supervised crime scenes, gathering evidence for criminal cases. He has won numerous awards, including the Region C Investigator of the Year. Fishing and Dixie Youth base- ball are his hobbies but the church and Gideons are his loves and have been such an important part of his life that he wants to spend as much time as possible doing work for the Lord. The Reynolds family is a close- knit family living in the family homeplace on El Bethel Road and near his mother and sister, Chris Mondy. Close enough to town, according to Reynolds, but still in the coun- try.

Girl Scouts will sign up for the new program Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Pine Manor community room. Ollemi GS membership director Elaine S. Ollemi's grandfather taught her the Girl Scout Law as a child and she never forgot it. Now the new membership spe- cialist for the Cleveland and Mountain Grove Service Units of the Pioneer Girl Scout Council hopes to instill that same love of scouting in young girls and her zeal for volunteering with new vol- unteers. Ollemi always wanted to be a Girl Scout. The late Anderson and Minnie Smarr and Ollemi's mother, Clara Smarr Williams, taught her many of the same programs that Girl Scouts learn today and her goal is to involve more girls in scouting. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Already an organizational meeting is scheduled at the Boyce Memorial ARP Church on September 14 at 7 p.m. and a new troop is organizing at Pine Manor Apartments August 26. East School has a very active troop and Ollemi can talk on and on about at least eight new troops for girls age 5-17 that are gearing up this fall in Kings Mountain. There are also programs for - Adult Girl Scouts that parents can become involved in and Ollemi says parent involvement makes the program successful. "If parents don't get behind their ACCOR From Page 1-A versations that were frank and sincere on potential ap- pointees. "Subsequent to these meetings, we as a board of commissioners have discussed potential appointees who would be representative and would serve all citi- zens of Cleveland County. I feel that everyone, that is the board of commissioners and the NAACP, should be commended on their good faith and genuine effort in resolving this issue," he said. Previously, a federal judge turned down the board's second appointee, Shelby police officer Willie McIntosh, citing possible conflict of interest but seated Malloy. Accor began her teaching career at King Mountain's Central School in 1979 and was assistant principal at Kings Mountain Junior High and later the Middle Kings Mountain Weather Report (Compiled by Kenneth Kitzmiller) .

Ollemi says other volunteers are also needed. "I appreciate volunteers and we have to have them to promote a positive program and they must be dedicated," she says. ‘Ollemi lost her youngest son, Christian, last September in an au- tomobile accident in Italy and she said the Girl Scouts have helped her greatly during this time of be- reavement. Her oldest son, Kenny Ollemi, got the traveling bug ap- parently from his mother and comes home for visits. "I give God the highest praise for all the blessings he has be- stowed on me and my family be- cause as long as you have God in your life everything will work out," she said, quoting her grandfather, a former minister, in his philosophies of life. "God picked me up and carried me through my recent bereavement and led me to take the job with Girl Scouts in June," said Ollemi who lives in the Love Valley communi- ty near Kings Mountain and is ac- tive in Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Churchin Kings Mountain. She graduated from Compact High School in 1965 and has de- grees from M. T. I. Business School, New York Business School and Gaston College. Over 20 years ago when Kings Mountain was applying for and getting federal grants in the mil- lions of dollars, Ollemi helped do some of the grant research for then-Mayor John Henry Moss. "I really learned alot about grants from Mr. Moss. He was an expert," she said. Elaine said when she heard about the opening at the Pioneer Girl Scout Council she saw the job as a chance to combine her profes- sional skills with her love for chil- dren. "This is a great opportunity to use my skills of communication and to bring this program to the girls who need it, " she said. Ollemi's goal is to increase membership to 11 percent in Cleveland and Mountain Grove Communities and she is confident that she can do it. * "It 1s a challenge but there are so many girls who need Girl Scouting because it teaches life skills and leadership skills. "Girl Scouting teaches us all how to work together and trust each other." School for six years. During the first half of the 1993- 94 school year she served as interim principal at Bethware School.
