RE SRG LS er aa wlan re BIKE WINNER - Lindsay Taylor of Kings Mountain and John Schanewolf of Schanewolf's Cycle Sport in Shelby show off the Haro VO mountain bike Lindsay received for winning the Republic Newspapers coloring contest. Ingles wants to file permits under old ordinances Ingles’ Super Market, which holds an option to buy property for a new store on Oak Grove Road, wants its application for building permits to fall under the old, not recently adopted, new city ordinances. The owners of the property, Judy and Paul Scism, will for- mally request a change in the city ordinance governing build- ing permits at Tuesday's meet- ing of the Kings Mountain Planning and Zoning Board at 7 p-m. Scism seeks a change in the ordinance text which, in effect, would mean if Ingles got per- mits under the old version of JENNIFER From 1-A Salem and become a registered nurse. According to her mother, Jennifer is one of an estimated 15,000 children in the United States to have.a growth defi- ciency. ‘And het growth disor- der is only one of several that can stunt growth. While most short children don't have a serious growth problem, several genetic or hor- monal disorders can stunt growth. Jennifer's pituitary gland doesn't secrete enough growth hormone, a condition known as hypopituitarism. TAX HIKE From 1-A schedules and placements of 250-270 classified employees. He recommended that the board adopt the state board recommendation on minimum and maximum pay and adopt a 30-step schedule for all classified employees with one year increments similar to the plan under which teachers are em- ployed. He estimated the cost would approximate a one percent increase in pay the first year. The salary increase would cost the system $226,000 in next year's budget, according to fi- nance officer Terri Haas, who said teacher assis- tants would get a total of $107,000, custodians $15,000 and food service employees $43,000 in the Lease Turn In, Factory Warranty Only *1 9,990 1997 GMC Ext.

Planning Director Steve Killian says Ingles had asked questions about compliance with ordinances in materials sent to his office but had never formally applied nor made any payments for building permits. "Ingles could conceivably fall under the old ordinance but that would be up to the City Council which acts on planning board recommendations," he said. A genetic disorder - achon- droplasia - stunts the growth of long bones. A mysterious dis- ease called Silver's Syndrome causes the body's two sizes to grow at different rates. Turner's Syndrome, a genetic disorder, both dwarfs a child and affects the child's sexual maturing. Sometimes the growth disor- der goes undetected during childhood but Ms. Hickman is thankful for doctors like Day who knew of the new hormone therapy that has worked indif cles for Jennifer. "Dr. Day told us that he be- lieved everyone should get a good start in life," says Ms. Hickman. Jennifer weighed in at 3 pounds, 5 ounces at birth. A seven-months baby, she re- mained in a Charlotte Hospital 51 days before her parents increase. The board will also hear: a request from Sam Mitchem for rezoning of a lot adjacent to Community Grocery on Waco Road from residential to neigh- borhood business. Mitchem wants to make improvements to his current property. a request from Olin Love for rezoning from residential to general business three lots on the east side of Love's Fish Box. a request from Jody Champion to rezone a tract of land fronting N.

With a 3.6 grade point aver- age, her favorite subjects are Chemistry, English III and US History but the love of her life is the cheerleading squad where she has been a varsity cheer- leader for three years. At KMHS, she is also active in the Pep Club and Spanish Club. She belongs to St. Peter's Missionary Baptist Church in Grover. She placed third in the Dream Girl Pageant. It's no secret that Jennifer likes sports. She cheers not only for the home team but she's a big fan of the Duke Blue Devils. Although Jennifer fears her height will keep her from shoot- ing the baskets, she is happy to stand on the sidelines and cheer her team to victory. "This has been a long time in coming and we need to get a handle on it now," said Chairman Ronnie Hawkins. McRae said the increase in the supplemental tax could take care of $90,000 and there would be , Leathe 800-849-3330 other resources to make up the difference. McRae said the system may have to look at increasing lunchroom costs a nickel for operational costs. "It would take a 20 cent increase on lunch costs to pay employees from the money that school lunches generate," he said. The board endorsed the pay plan concept to implement in next year's budget if possible. Public hearing on the proposed current ex- pense budget will be conducted April 7 at 7 p.m. by the board of education at the school adminis- tration building. 1995 Cadillac Sedan Deville _ THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD Instead of teaching next year at Kings Mountain Middle School Gary Blake, 37, will be taking math on the road as a member of a state ABC's of Education team recently ap- pointed by the State Board of Public Instruction.

He will teach and demonstrate, observe teachers and analyze schools, diagnosing the problem and of- fering a prescription to get the schools back on track. These leaders have been charged with getting the stu- dents back on track even if they have to terminate teachers and run the school themselves, Blake says. Blake will attend several ah GARY BLAKE training sessions this spring and will report to his new job July 1 and will be assigned schools in the Charlotte region as far west as Cleveland County where students rank below the state average in reading and math.
