ROARK
From Page 1-A
Margrace. She has worked a total
of 56 years in textiles, including
six years at Grover's Minette Mill.
"[ left Kings Mountain and went
to Minette briefly during the early
years but the Margrace was home,"
she said. Nina has a keen memory
and can recite the the birth dates
and death dates of all her family
and current information on the an-
nual Roark reunion.
She married J. FE. Crap”
Westmoreland at age 27. He died
February 18, 1964. In later years
she married Charles D. Falls of
Shelby and they divorced in
September 1975 but still remain
good friends. She had no children
but she considers nieces and
nephews her own and when they
come to see her she prepares a fab-
ulous menu that Mrs. Lancaster
cooks and serves in the dining
room. She bought her present
home in 1975.
Her hobby is decorating cakes
.and she is well known as one of the
best cooks in; town. She has suf-
fered hip deterioration of the bone
since 1994 and her cooking is lim-
ited to company. ‘A’ history ‘bd fs
she says she keeps her cog wheels
in her brain oiled and her marbles
rolling and retains her sense of hu-
mor.
"I prayed to God that If I lost all
my faculties that He would let me
keep my brain," she said.
Loudie, the nickname Falls has
given to her nurse, says she laughs
more since she came into the Falls
“home. They both hate soap operas
and Nina usually sleeps late and
they sing and talk and laugh to-
gether.
Loudie bakes homemade bis-
cuits which Nina declares is better
than hers but Nina also tries to
pitch in when they serve chicken
and dressing, French-styled green
beans, broccoli casserole, macaroni
and cheese pie, and chocolate pie
to sisters-in-law Dorothy, Ginny
and Vinnie Lee Roark and Vangie
Westmoreland; nephews and
nieces, Charles and John Houser,
Billy Roark Jr, Dean
Westmoreland, Faye McCloud,
Anita Ross, Joe and Lee Roark,
Bruce Lee Roark and Nancy Roark
Routs.
"I learn a lot from Nina," said
Mrs. Lancaster.
Falls and her late husband trav-
eled to California and Florida on
numerous occasions to visit rela-
tives but now she says the next big
event will probably be her 85th
birthday September 17.
She has seen a lot of good
changes in the Grover Community.
She attended three schools in the
Antioch Community, Grover
School and Blacksburg High
School during her growing-up
years. She said alumni of Antioch
Schools plan a reunion the second
Saturday in September and the date
is marked on her calendar.

the food store and the city concern-
ing the costs of running sewer lines
but Corry said it needed to be in
writing.
"Property values will fall imme-
diately,” said US Air Pilot Stan
Hallam who said he moved to the
area a year ago.for peace and quiet.
"Why ruin one of Kings
“Mountain's best assets to put a su-
permarket in the wrong place?" he
asked.
Charles Murdock of Asheville,
agent for Ingles, said the new store
would add $12,000 a year in prop-
erty taxes for Kings Mountain and
split $200,000 a year between
Kings Mountain and Cleveland
County in sales taxes.
He gave several options for in-
stallation of the sewer lines which
the board said it needed to know
the dollars and cents before mak-
ing a firm decision on the satellite
annexation.
The city could be asked to split
the $240,000 cost of running the
sewer line. Depending on water us-
age, City Manager Gary Hicks said
it would take between five and 10
years to recoup the city's costs.
Murdock called the proposed fa-
cility a state-of-the art 55,000
square feet shopping facility, a
hand-picked site by the chief exec-
utive officer Bob Ingles.
"Where else can you get a $3
million tax base by a single annex-
ation? "he asked Council.
He said Ingles has modified the
typical site plan and he sent a copy
to Gold Run resident Ruby M.
Alexander and she did not follow
up on his calls.
Mrs. Alexander confirmed that
she had spoken to the Ingles repre-
sentative on several occasions but
that she didn't return his calls about
GOLD RUN
From Page 1-A
"We need a fourth big super
market and this is the right loca-
tion, "he told Kings Mountain City
Council during a public hearing
Tuesday night.
US Air Pilot Stan Hallam dis-
agreed. He said he moved to Gold
Run for peace and quiet and to get
.away. from the noise of a big city.
"He “commutes
to Charlotte
Douglas International Airport
about 30 mirtutes away.
"This just isn't the right place for
it," he said. :
"The new store would be in the
front door of people's homes but
Ingles has ignored our concerns.
You (Council) holds the key to a
beer and wine permit."
Van Wilson said the neighbor-
hood has been stirred up for sever-
al months and concurred with
Hallam that the super market offi-
cials ignored their concerns. He
asked for a show of hands from
residents in the area if anyone had
been directly contacted by the food
store. No one raised a hand.
Wilson also commutes
Charlotte to work.
"We feel that this entire project
has been conducted under a cover
of darkness and we don't want the
store built here," he said.
Richard Rochford, also a Gold
Run resident who owns a business
in Shelby called the proposal a
short-term losing proposition for
Kings Mountain.
He agreed that an Ingles store is
needed in the area but not in the
Gold Run area.
"Make a business decision, not a
political decision," he told the
board. Roxford called the area an
easy-going, quiet and peaceful
place which should not be changed
by big development. He said the at-
traction of the quiet community is
what brought him to Kings
Mountain five years ago.
Jerry Facemeyer asked if the
proposed developer will keep up
the property.
"I work in Charlotte too and I
moved to Kings Mountain for
peace and quiet."
Dave Smith posed concern for
additional traffic in the area.

the site plan because property own-
ers had already made their decision
about fighting the proposed devel-
opment when 100 percent of the
property owners, 90, signed a peti-
tion opposing the choice of sites.
"I'm not the driving force at
Gold Run, the people own it," she
said.
Murdock called the proposal a
win-win situation for both the city
and the firm, creating 100 new jobs
for the area.
He presented a petition with
1100 signatures favoring the pro-
posed location, 19.1 acres on
Scism and Oak Grove Road on the
north side of U. S. 74 about two
miles from the Kings Mountain
city limits.
Murdock estimated that Ingles
sales would exceed $200,000 a
week at the location.
He said Ingles has applied for a
Community Development Block
Grant to pay for the cost of the
sewer installation by Kings
Mountain. Another option is a
50/50 split of the cost by Kings
Mountain and Ingles and a third
option is that Ingles will pay the to-
tal cost for the sewer lines.
Spears pushed for a written con-
tract and upon questioning of
Murdock by Hager, Murdock said
he had been authorized by Ingles
management to offer to’ fund the
sewer project totally.
Property owners Paul:and: Judy
Scism asked the city to annex the
parcel. Even if it isn't“annexed,
Ingles could still build a‘store at
the site because most of Cleveland
County isn't covered by zoning re-
strictions.
But if the property is satellite an-
nexed by Kings Mountain, the
store would receive city services,
including police, fire and sewer.
And the new firm could sell beer
and wine, permits only allowed in
Shelby and Kings Mountain, not
unincorporated Cleveland County.
Gold Run resident Van Wilson
is opposed to a supermarket be-
ing built in the community.
Mayor Scott Neisler rapped the
gavel after loud applause erupted
several times during the public
hearing.
After the 45-minute public hear-
ing there were comments only
from three council members and
the vote taken to postpone for
more information a decision on an-
nexation until the April meeting
was unanimous.
"I would just like to see some-
thing down in black and white
about the proposed costs to Kings
Mountain and how it would in-
crease our general fund,” said
Mayor pro tem Hager.
