UNITED
From 1-A
cept of community, to helping
those in need and to making life
better for everyone."
The event included the recog-
nition of Doug Camp, plant
manager of Copeland
Corporation, the 1997 recipient
of the prestigious R. T. LeGrand
Jr. Award for the Outstanding.
Campaign Volunteer of the
Year. Camp's involvement with
United Way includes service in
1992 as a Loaned Executive and
two years as a President's
Division campaign volunteer.
He serves as'a member of the
United Way's Board of Directors
and agreed to serve this year as
Chairman of the President's
Division campaign which ac-
counts for approximately 80
percent of the funds raised an-
nually. In this capacity he acted
as a catalyst to increased giving
from organizations and individ-
uals while helping to broaden
the base of support for United
Way in non-traditional areas.
The participation of 36 young
people in Thursday's program
was representative not only of
the future of Cleveland County
and United Way, but of every-
one doing their part for the
community. Thirty-four stu-
dents from Union Elementary
School near Polkville and
drummers Cecilia Henderson -
and Ron Feemster from Kings
Mountain High School assisted
Young in the unveiling of the
county's fund-raising achieve-
ment.
A new aspect of this year's
celebration was the addition of
"Best Campaign Practices" ex
hibits. Eight companies -
Hoechst Trevira Ticona, former-
ly Hoechst Celanese, The
Shelby Star, Cleveland Home
Health, Cleveland Regional
To Santa, From Kevin Jenkins
To Santa Claus:
I would like a Nintendo 64
with games, knee pads and el-
bow pads, a bike with straight
handle bars, lots of surprises,
and a little bit of candy. I love
you.

Medical Center, PPG Industries,
PolyGram, Copeland and First
Citizens Bank displayed their
fund-raising strategies, results
and improvements. The dis-
plays allowed companies to
tout their achievements, share
ideas and begin the planning
process for next year's cam-
paign.
Hoechst Trevira Ticona, FAS-
CO Controls Corp. and PPG
Industries Inc. emerged early
this year as heroes of the cam-
paign effort by providing full
time loaned executives for the
campaign. These loaned execu-
tives, Harold Barnes, Bryon
Rippy, Robbin Lee and Phil
Forney were responsible for
providing first-hand assistance
in developing and executing
employee campaigns.
The successful campaign ef-
fort will ensure continued fund-
ing of the 41 health and human
service agencies

ried to Jackie Chaney Johnson
and they have one son, Jack,
and are active in Chestnut
Ridge Baptist Church... .
Johnson said his military sta-
tus won't interfere with his
leadership of the group, de-
spite a military buildup in the
Middle East.
"It all depends on what
Saddam Hussein does," he told
the group.
He pledged cooperation.
"I can honestly say to every-
one sitting around this table, I
believe in fairness and I believe
everyone sitting around this
table believes in fairness."
Bolt's suggestion that the
group alternate meetings, one
month at City Hall and the next
month at the lake to give resi-
dents greater access didn't pass.
"The taxpayers built that
lake," reminded Parker, "and
we should meet here in Kings
Mountain."

Chairman Johnson said after
the meeting that holding meet-
ings at the lake "should be left
open to discussion” but he said
the city office building at the
lake is not conducive to good
meetings.
Potter urged the ‘group to
take a’look at the lake now buf
| both lake residents hesitated,.
saying the members need to
know the budget before they as-
sess what needs to be done. Bolt
asked Killian for a breakdown
of permits issued to lake resi-
dents and non-residents.
Increased lake fees imposed
by the city on lake residents
caused many lake residents to
protest. Rep. Debbie Clary, also
a lake resident, substituted a
bill in the North Carolina
General Assembly mandating a
lake commission for a local bill
the city had before the House of
Representatives to annex the
lake and water treatment plant.
The city responded by resur-
recting the Lake Commission
abolished last year.
"It's-a start and I see only
good things coming from it,"
said Johnson.
