Moss Lake camping approved CHRISTMAS
jes
Came ons oom
LI
Long-term camping at six to
eight full service electric me-
tered sites at Moss Lake was
okayed Tuesday night by City
Council.
The fee schedule presented
by the Moss Reservoir Advisory
Committee was slightly modi-
fied.
Upon recommendation of
Councilman Gene White, the
board changed the word should
to shall in the draft of the rules
and recommendations to read
“there shall be no temporary or
permanent additions or free
standing structures other than
the camper shelter itself.”
Security deposits of $200 will
be required and the city manag-
er will sign the leases.
Originally the fee schedule
draft permitted no pets.
Councilman Phil Hager sug-
gested that indoor pets be al-
lowed as long as they did not
become a nuisance to neighbors
at the site.
Planning Director Steve
Killian said staffers at the lake
officg take the applications and
report any violations of permits.
The rules state that clothes
lines are not permitted; non
camping activities either in na-
ture or appearance are not al-
lowed; only a camper’s person-
al vehicles are allowed at the
campsite; no commercial vehi-
cles are allowed in the camping
area; boat trailers may be
parked only in the parking lot
over night; the camp site can
not be the customer’s perma-
nent residence, no private wire
phones are allowed but cellular
phones are permitted and no
mail boxes are permitted. A vio-
lation of the city’s rules would
be reason for the termination of
the permit.
City running new sewer line
A work crew under the direc-
tion of Moretz Engineering is
running a sewer line from KMG
Minerals to the lift station near
Combustion Engineering on
Battleground Avenue and a wa-
ter line extension from the city’s
water tank on Piedmont avenue
to serve the upper part of the
city.
Moretz said the water line
improvements update the old
16 inch line and 12 inch lines
that served that area.
He said the water line im-
provements will improve water
flow in upper Kings Mountain.
City workers, under the di-
rection of Water Supt. Walt
Ollis, are running smaller lines
in several small isolated areas
of the city.
The Kings Mountain Moretz
firm also held the contract for
engineering for both Davidson
and Deal Street Parks and

Heard concerns that street
paving has slowed. Maney said
has been seeded for the winter
and stone laid for the parking
lot to be paved in the spring.
Both parks are virtually com-
plete except for bathrooms and
concessions. The parking lot at
Deal Street will accommodate
200 cars and the parking lot at
Davidson Park will accommo-
date 100 cars. Total cost for the
major refurbishing project
topped $1 million.
The city is also improving
the capacity of its wastewater
treatment plant, renovating out-
of service basins at Pilot Creek
Waste Water Treatment Plant
and repairing the water tank at
the city’s water plant.

The year 1999 is also a city
election year when all seven
seats on city council and the
mayor’s seat are up for grabs.
“This ABC election is going
to run right into city politicking
time and is a hot issue which I
attempted to point out to coun-
cil at the recent meeting when
four of seven council members
rescinded their prior vote to call
for the election,” said White.
Opponents to the ABC peti-

Goforth, that closing the ABC

sales, will cost jobs and take
money away from Kings

MADE TO LAST- Winner of the Kings Mountain Senior Center quilt drawing, Ruth Adams admires
the work of the senior quilter's class. Pictured left to right; Ruth Adams, Sadie McLean, Ruth
Haynes, JoAnn Frederick, Ethel McGinnis, winner Nancy Ross.
A Dollar Well Spent
One dollar well spent will go
a long way towards keeping
Nancy Ross cozy this winter.
Winner of the Kings Mountain
Senior Center's quilt raffle, Ross
had bought a single ticket in the
contest. On hand to present
Ross with her prize last
Wednesday were the ladies who
had stitched the covering.
Eight weeks in the making,
the quilt featured lovely fan
patterns on a white back-
ground. Each fan was made of
several individually stitched
panels in a variety of colors.
The quilt was a labor of love
by members of the Senior
Center's quilting class led by in-
structor Ethel McGinnis. Class
members included JoAnn
Frederick, Ruth Haynes, Sadie
McLean and Ruth Adams, Pat
Hammett, Janie Ware, Delcina
Morgan, Thelma Gladden, and
Janie Dowda.
Carolyn Bell, Kings Mountain
Senior Center Activity Director,
was thankful for the communi-
ty's support of the raffle.
"We sold over eight hundred
one dollar tickets," Bell said.
"The money will go towards
our new building fund."
Quilting classes at the Kings
Mountain Senior Center are
held Monday and Thursday at
12:30 pm.

A highlight of this year’s
event will be horse and buggy:
rides which will originate from
First Carolina Federal Savings:
Bank and proceed down,
Mountain Street to Watterson,
then to Gold and back to the:
bank. i
Neely encourages the public
to purchase luminaries in mem-
ory or in honor of someone.
Those luminaries will line the;
route of the buggy rides and |
can be purchased even through.
Thursday night at a speciali
table which will be set up on
Railroad Avenue. The cost isd
jus $5 and proceeds will go to-;
ward completing the park at the:

The Association is also spon-
soring a can food drive to bene-
fit the Kings Mountain Crisis
Ministry. Those items may also ,
be dropped off at the special ,
table.

held on Railroad Avenue, in-"
cluding singing, dancing, food ,
and refreshments. Many.

“We're trying to keep it a lit-
tle more condensed this year so
people can take part in all of the .
activities,” Neely said. :
Most of the stores in down-,
town Kings Mountain will be ,
open late Thursday. With the.
weatherman calling for cold:
weather, it will not only offer’a’
chance to purchase some
Christmas gifts but also an op-
portunity to warm up. :
“Because we're dealing with
a school night, everything will ,
probably start to die down
about 9 o'clock,” Neely said.
“Afterward people might want’
to just mingle around and try to
stay warm.”
