Davis gives legislative update to Kiwanians Education and tax relief figured prominently in both the House and Senate this year, State Senator Dennis Davis said in a update on this year's legislative session to the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club Thursday night. Davis, who has been a public school teacher for the past 25 years, discussed his efforts to im- prove the state's educational sys- tem. "The DENNIS DAVIS $ackbone of ed- ucation in North Cardlind® joer public schoot system,” said] "We need to give loca ol officials more authority and more flexibility," Davis reviewed the series of tax relief measures passed by the General Assembly this year. He noted that a family of four with an annual income of $25,000 would now pay 33 percent less in state in- come taxes. Davis paid special tribute to his predecessor, former State Senator Ollie Harris of Kings Mountain. "Hardly a day passes when someone doesn't ask me how Ollie is doing," he said. Senator Harris has a sterlifig reputation in Raleigh." Harris was presented an hon- orary membership in the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club in 1987 and is the only honorary member in the club's 55- year-old-history. Davis, of Lattimore, represents Cleveland and Rutherford Counties in the North Carolina Senate.

He also is requesting that the board hold a retreat planning meet- ing at the close of the September meting to plan a day's trip to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville and suggested that a facilitator for the retreat come from Gardner-Webb University. Williams chairs the committee. In his memorandums, Williams also wants the county attorney to explain the statutes involving care of rest home and mentally dis- turbed patients, particularly any li- ability that the county might have regarding crimes committed by wandering patients. Williams is also questioning the $9,000 purchase of office furniture and computers, the use of cellular phones, a $4,000 travel and subsis- tence budget and wants copies of a funding break-down for the depart- ment's recently obtained Kellogg, state, federal and county dollars. County officials eyeing sites for recycling center Cleveland County officials are looking at three sites in Kings Mountain for a possible manned recycling center. Mayor Scott Neisler said he is opposed to two of the proposed sites but has asked county officials _to investigate the possibility of ob- taining a right-of-way from Southern Railway for the third site. The recycling center would be placed on city property and would be paid for by a $15,000 grant the county has obtained. County health officials Sam Lockridge and Marty Allen visited the sites this week and met with the mayor, Interim City Manager Gary Hicks and interim planning director Jeff Putnam. Letter to Neisler said officials are looking at city-owned lots in the Linwood Road area near WBB trucking which he says is not a desirable lo- cation because it is in a residential section; at the old Roller Mill prop- erty across from Plonk's General Store in the downtown area and al- so at property off the spur line at the old Elmer Lumber Company property. "I object to a recycling center downtown and a recycling center in a residential area," said the may- Or. : "I hope that someone will devel- op that Roller Mill property for a new business sometime." Neisler said the matter could come up at Tuesday's September Council meeting at City Hall. Editor Writer disagrees with Heffner To the Editor: Jim Heffner made several points in last week's column(Sept. 14) with which I take issue. First of all, the"raw deal" Sen. Robert Packwood (R-Oregon) is getting consists, in part, of a $69,000 annual pension that he will draw until he dies. He was allowed to resign rather than face his accusers in public. If the Senate Ethics Committee had believed for one minute that the accusations were false, then Packwood would have been given his day in court. There are several possible reasons why the accusations are just now be- ing brought to light. Each woman might have thought hers was an isolated incident. Some might have been afraid no one would believe them, given a to take that kind of treatment. wPackwopd's stature.and long career. in the Senate. Some might have been an, attempt would be made to damage their reputations. And some have Been" ‘brought up the way so many of us were, believing they There is a world of difference between telling a woman her dress is pret- ty and putting a hand under that dress. The first action is a compliment; the second constitutes sexual harassment. The differentiation is easy to make. And what kind of specious reasoning connects the First Lady with in- creased sexual harassment charges? The same kind, one supposes, that holds President Clinton responsible for legalized abortion.
