FILING

Norris family includes three
children, Shana Zwick and
Chris and Lance Norris and
three granddaughters and they
attend Family Worship Center
Church of God. Norris is
Sunday School Superintendent
and serves on the church fi-
nance committee.
"I am concerned about the fu-
ture of Kind Mountain and
that's why I'm
running in Ward 5," said Norris.
"The negative publicity about
Kings Mountain has hurt the
town and its growth as well as
industry and I want to promote
more industry to bring in more
jobs for Kings Mountain citi-
zens."
Norris said he would push
for a more positive image of
Kings Mountain.
Guyton, of 707 Groves St., is a

ried to Shirley Yarbro Guyton

said he would promote year-
round recreation for youth and
adults including a new swim-
ming pool and tournaments in
the summer.

especially ordinances on junk
cars, and I would like to see a
general cleanup of the whole
community with roads paved
on a systematic system and
drainage problems fixed," he
said. "Keeping taxes as low as
possible and utilities in order
are priorities and *Moss Lake
should be kept under the con-
trol of city council and all com-
mittees responsible to city coun-
cil," he added.

he appreciated city manage-
ment promoting city employees

BARNETTE
From 1-A
"The doctors gave Billy two
weeks to live when we left the
hospital. 'Do you know what
you're getting into,?' they said
to me, but I told them that ev-
ery child needs a home and
love. Billy is the most loving
child you could ever know,"
said Mrs. Barnette.
The Barnettes' financial prob-
lems escalated when Helen had
to leave her job at Kings
' Mountain Hospital, due to her
illness and Butch was laid off
from his loom fixing job after
22 years. Now Butch has re-
turned to school to get his high
school diploma and wants to
take a course in aircondition-
ing/heating to supplement
their income. Helen says she's
thankful she can still continue
her insurance through the local
hospital at least for 18 months
but then hopes she can quality
for disability.
"Our community and various
churches have been our savior
through all this," she said this
week. "We really appreciate
their prayers and support.”
Barnette said she decided to
raise her grandson as her son
because she herself was an or-
phan raised in Presbyterian
Home in Black Mountain."
"I was six years old, Billy's
age, when my parents couldn't
raise me and I lived in an or-
phanage until I was 15 and
went to live with an uncle," said
Barnette who married at age 16.
Her first marriage ended after
27 years because she said she
and her first husband "outgrew
each other."
Helen and Clarence Barnette
have been married 13 years and
live in the No. 3 Community of
Cleveland County. They also

isa
have nine grandchildren.
"T had always wanted to be a
nurse and when my children
were small I went back to
school at Cleveland
Community College and got
my GED and later my nursing’
"degree," she said.
Helen also took special train-
ing at Duke and -Baptist
Hospitals and specialized in
New Born and Premature Care. -
She started her nursing career
at Shelby Hospital where she
worked 10 years, then as an in-
dustrial nurse at Doran Textiles,
Union Carbide Plant and
‘Clevemont Mills. A Red Cross"
CPR instructor; she received an
award from the Blue Ridge
Safety Council for saving the
life of a fellow worker at
Clevemont who had developed
respiratory distress. She was a
charge nurse at Divine Sayiour
Hospital in Rock Hill and has
been with Kings Mountain -
Hospital for six years working
second shift on North Station
Wing B.
"] always wanted a nursing
career to help people but never
realized that my calling was to.
also learn how to care for my
grandson," she said.
"The Lord puts children like
Billy in special homes," said
Helen.
Barnette says the state has ap-
proved around the clock
Medicare health care for young
Billy until she's out of the hospi-
tal and back on her feet.
"Love goes a long way in a
patient's full recovery, we've
found that to be true in our
lives and in the patients I've
nursed," said Helen. :
Butch Barnette says the fami-
ly is asking for prayer for both
his wife and son.
He said, "Helen and Billy are
real troopers and right now we
want her home where she be-
longs."
