Shelby's C.C. Guy files for State
Recently retired Shelby busi-
ness executive C. C. Guy has filed
as a candidate for the North
Carolina Senate District 37.
Guy, who is seeking public of-
fice for the first time, is challeng-
ing incumbent Dennis Davis, also a
Republican, in the GOP Primary in
May.
Walter Dalton, Rutherfordton
lawyer, has filed for the
Democratic nomination for the
37th District Senate seat.
Filing deadline is February 5.
"I believe that my experience
and success in business as well as
my strong financial background as
a certified public accountant and
chairman of a corporation traded
on the New York Stock Exchange
will provide the citizens of the NC
Senate 37 in Cleveland and
Rutherford Counties a strong
knowledgeable, and effective voice
in the 1997 session of the North
Carolina Legislature," said Guy in
a filing statement.
"As a businessman I know what
it takes to operate a fiscally sound
and profitable company. As a tax-
paying citizen I know that state
government needs to adopt those
principles of spending restraint, ef-
ficient operations and right-sizing.
State government also needs to bet-
ter evaluate the programs and ser-
vices it funds and alter those that
are not fulfilling their goals. We as
citizens can't afford the luxury of
paying for programs that don't
work and we can't afford to allow
lawmakers to raise our taxes be-
cause they have pet projects they
want to fund and certainly can't af-
ford to elect state legislators who
vote for high spending, irresponsi-
ble and unacceptable budgets," said
Guy.
Guy says the current state bud-
get is bloated with wasteful expen-
ditures and pledges that with his 20
years of professional experience he
will closely scrutinize and question
the budget.
During his campaign Guy said
he will emphasize constituent ser-
vice, ways to prevent crime, eco-
Board of Education workshop Friday
The Kings Mountain Board of
Education will hold a workshop
Friday beginning at 8:30 a.m. and
one of the major items on the agen-
da is input by board members for
the meeting agenda for the joint
meeting of all three boards of edu-
cation in the county February 19.
Chairman Ronnie Hawkins said
that Dr. Earl Watson,
Superintendent of Cleveland
County Schools, and Dr. Steve
Curtis, Superintendent of Shelby
City Schools, prepared a tentative
agenda .based on a recent discus-
sion by the 15 representatives of
the three boards in Shelby regard-
ing some of the items they would
like to see discussed.
The boards are expected to talk
about current areas of cooperation
among the boards, including such
areas as Vocational Education, stu-
dent services, exceptional children,
sports medicine, transportation,
staff development, ACTIVE and
Head Start.
Other areas of discussion could
include such topics as early birth
education, jointly sponsored voca-
tional classes, support of the busi-
ness community, local funding and
merger issues.
The agenda is expected to in-
clude closing statements by board
chairmen, each of whom is inviting
input from the public and encour-
aging the public to attend the meet-
ing February 19 at 7 p.m. in rooms
1138 and 1139 at Cleveland
Community College in Shelby.
The meeting was proposed in
September by the Shelby Board of
Education. Both Cleveland County
and Kings Mountain school offi-
cials agreed to meet as long as all
board members were allowed to at-
tend and the meeting was open to
the public.
Dr. Jack Hamrick, chairman of
the Shelby City School board, will
moderate the meeting. Tommy
Greene is chairman of the
Cleveland County School Board.
Dr. Bob McRae is Superintendent
of the Kings Mountain District
Schools.
"We hope to have open dialogue
on funding and educational oppor-
tunities," said Hawkins.
Schools to apply for Job Ready grant
The three county schools sys-
tems are jointly applying for
school-to-work grant funds for up
to $150,000 for Job Ready,
Pathways to Career Success.
Kings Mountain District
School's Vocational Director Sheila
Sisk said the grant application will
be submitted in February.
She said only 20 grants will be
awarded across the state and if the
local systems don't get an imple-
mentation grant they are hopeful
they would qualify for one of the
50 planning grants would would
range from $12,000 to $25,000.
The funds would be used in
grades K-12 and are an addition to
the Tech Prep continuing grants for
students in ninth grade through
Community College.
School to Work: would link the
systems with school based, work
based and connecting activities and
would enable the three systems to
enhance their apprenticeship pro-
grams, joo, shadowing and the re-
cent summer program, Teacher
Academy.
The new program would also in-
volve business and industry.
Currently, a curriculum is being
written which would be taught at
Crest High School by business
leaders. Sisk said that the
Vocational Department has plans to
hold a similar course at Kings
Mountain High School if represen-
tatives of the business and industri-
al community are interested in
teaching it.
The competitive grant is an out-
growth of the School to Work
Opportunities Act of 1994 which
was created to help state and local-
ities develop a program or system
to make education more relevant to
the skills in the knowledge of the
work place and to help the students
with their transition from school to
career, thus the name, Job Ready.
Ledders from a’ consortium of
the Cleveland County, Shelby and,
Kings Moiifitain School Systems
are in process of fine tuning the
grant application which must be in
the State office of Public
Instruction by February 19.

Trustees of Cleveland Memorial
Hospital, at their meeting Monday,
voted to change the organization's
name to Cleveland Regional
Medical Center.
The change is the result of an
extended discussion between
trustees, medical staff and hospital
administration. "I believe the new
name will more accurately reflect
the mission of the institution and I
am confident that our community
will appreciate the change," said
Jim Rose, Chairman of the Board
of Trustees.
The new name contains the word
"regional" because of the extended
area from which the medical center
draws its patients.
"Our patient base is from a pop-
ulation of over 120,000," said John
Young, President. "Since
Cleveland County's population is
somewhere around 90,000 people,
the other individuals in the patient
base come from a regional draw.
Besides the large patient base,
the medical center has all of the
