Officially opened Tuesday with a ribbon cutting and speeches, Lube N' Cruise at 400 York Road in Kings Mountain is a full-service vehicle mainte- nance facility combining a high- ly trained staff, premium lubri- cants, and the latest in computerized auto record keep- ing ; "Lube 'N Cruise is committed to educating our customers about the advantages of proper vehicle maintenance so they can extend the life of their cars,” said owner Dale Short. "Everything at Lube 'N Cruise is geared around preventive ve- “hicle maintenance. We also keep computerized records on all the cars we service. That way, we can alert owners when a partic- ular aspect of their car needs at- fention.” . .. Seeing to it that the techni- cians at Lube 'N Cruise stay on top of the ever changing auto- mobile scene, at least ten hours per month are spent on train- ing. Several local business leaders and dignitaries attended the Lube 'N Cruise ribbon cutting. "We wish Lube 'N Cruise a long and successful business," said Kings Mountain Business Association president Joe Smith. ; El Kings Mountain mayor Scott Neisler said that he was already a Lube 'N Cruise customer.

Dubbed "Patriot Radio," the broadcast will be a repeating message of around three minutes duration covering the general vicinity of the middle school grounds. "The station is an educational tool to alert parents of upcom- ing events and other items of interest at our school,” said Kings Mountain Middle School principal John Goforth. Items that will be featured on the air include sports scores and upcoming games, birthdays, student accomplishments and special event dates. Put out by transmitter in Goforth's office, the range of the broadcast is ~ limited to the school parking lot and just beyond. "We have so many parents waiting in their cars to pick their children up, we felt it would be good to provide them with some information while they waited," said Goforth.
