million production plant in
Grover.
The 53,000 square foot facility
is slated to open April 1998.
The plant will employ 100 peo-
ple, 80 percent to be hired local-
ly and trained at Cleveland
Community College.
Mike Panveno, general man-
ager, said AGI Incorporated has
been in business 25 years in
Southern Illinois and plans to
be a "good corporate neighbor."
"We're excited,” said Penpino
as he helped Richard Block,
master of ceremonies, and other
officials distribute gold T-shirts
with the company logo. Block
introduced a team of AGI run-
ners who demonstrated in a re-
lay race how the company had
been built on speed "to go far
beyond expectations."

Block said the relay race sym-
bolized the speed of their oper-
ation and how quickly it can get
orders and turn them around.
“Block said one of the main
reasons the firm chose Grover
was because it was close to one
of its major clients, Polygram
Distributing. The move will
speed up the turnaround time
in printing information and
provide it to Polygram.
The new plant will produce
standard music packaging -
such as printed paper compo-
nents for insertion into CD
packages and audio cassettes.
Based in Melrose Park, ILL.,
AGI produces packaging for
clients that include Polygram
Records, Sony Music
Entertainment and IBM. The
company's first customer in
1969 was Mercury Records.
Block said the company is
"glad to be in North Carolina."
Police patroling
Rep. John Weatherly said he ~~ Weatherly. :
has been assured by the N. C.
Wildlife Commission and the
City of Kings Mountain that
law enforcement is evident and
‘ active at city-owned Moss Lake.
Weatherly, who lives on Moss
Lake, sought the report, he said,
because of statements made to
him that Moss Lake "does not
have sufficient law enforce-
ment."
"The Commission reported
that three wildlife officers who
work the lake with the primary
officer being Kenneth Cook
who patrols Moss Lake," said

An Open Letter to The Citizens of Kings Mtn. Schools
As a candidate for the At-Large Seat for Kings Mountain School Board I believe that it is
very important to get this message to each.of you. My decision to file as a candidate was
not made in haste, nor do I have an ax to grind. It was truly decided through a lot of soul
searching and consideration. With my families support I filed for the At-Large Seat.
Going into this race was well aware of those who involve themselves in malicious,
negative attacks on candidates. However, I can personally handle this part of politics
because our children are worth the effort. My heart is in the right place and I am willing
to serve and be a voice for all children. Kings Mountain is a great place to live.
Fortunately we have many excellent teachers and staff and it would be a pleasure to
work closely with each of them. It is my belief that all children can learn and contribute
to society. It is our responsibility to provide quality education for each child. There will
be and should be times that we agree as well at times we will disagree. I am not perfect
and have never claimed to be. However, 1 do truly believe in molding our leaders of
tomorrow by educating them today.
