FEST

; their Latin American outfits.
Following the opening cere-
monies, over a dozen more
skits, song and dance routines,
and dramatic scenes were acted
out in English, Spanish, and
French. Everything from fla-
menco dancing to the "Alouette
song" was performed to perfec-
tion. In the auditorium lobby,
special displays included a col-
lection of Latin American dolls,
coins, crafts, and other memora-
bilia by East School 5th graders.
The impact that the festival's
music and fun had went be-
yond the participants who
made it on stage, as the rousing
applause and excitement that
accompanied each performance
“attested.
"This is just beautiful," said
Laura Lowery, parent of North
School student and festival per-
former Megan Lowery. "It really
helps the kids learn about the
culture and dress of other na-
tions."
Not only did the foreign lan-
guage festival help to foster a
sense of community on the in-
ternational scene, it also
brought the Kings Mountain
School District together as well.
Local schools who participated
in the festival included
Bethware, Grover, North, West,
and East elementary schools,
Kings Mountain Middle School
and Kings Mountain High
+ School.
Foreign language teachers
who worked hard to make the
show come off were Adriana
Machiavello of Bethware and
Grover elementary, Grace
Mitchell of East, North, and
West elementary, Susan Lingg
and Carole Karas of Kings
Mountain Middle School, and
Carol Ann Peeler and Angela
Harris of Kings Mountain High
School.

COUNCIL
From 1A
He#oted that the ABC board
is operated by the state and the
city has never placed term lim-
its on any other board. Mrs.
Bridges concurred and noted
that the recent resignation of
the ABC Store manager and the
employment of a new manager
made it almost a necessity for
the current chairman to be in
place.
“I have head nothing but
good about the operation of the
ABC Store and frankly I don’t
have time to stay at Bojangles
and watch people going in and
out of the ABC Store,” Bridges
said to White.
“Are we going to tell people
what grocery store they can go
to? We can't tell people not to
go into an ABC store,” said
Bridges, referring to reports by
White of parents carrying chil-
dren into the store.
“We also can't tell parents
how to raise their children and
if they want to take a child in
that store with them we can’t
tell them not to,” said Hager.
“It would be a big mistake to
remove Andy Neisler from the
board,” said Bridges.
“I called City Hall today and
no one else has applied for a
position on the board.”
White said one other person
has applied but he did not give
the name. He said the ABC
board has had the same chair-
man and auditor since incep-
tion and it’s time for a change.
“We're questioning people's in-
tegrity and I don’t agree with
that,”Bridges said.
“The ABC committee is the
only city committee regulated
by the state and we should not
handicap future councils by
sticking to term limits,” said
Hager.
“Andy has done a terrific job
and he started the position from
scratch but we change our
minds and ordinances to suit a
situation,” said Kelly.
“I'm against changing an or-
dinance we have passed.”
“Mr. Neisler gives his ABC
salary to charity. We have more
important things to worry
about, get on with the business
of the city,” said Hager.

City Council approves
lake campground fees
City Council overturned 6-0
recommendation by the plan-
ning board for rezoning of a
piece of property Tuesday and
sided with the lake commission
4-2 instead of city plannerson
fee schedules.
The actions came during a
lengthy meeting.
Amendment of a fee schedule
at the lake would have charged
$125 per camp site for 13 camp
sites proposed by Tom Brooks
campground already approved
by the county. Planning
Director Steve Killian said the
Brooks proposal does not in-
clude a pier and practically lim-
its use of the city’s control strip
to fishing and picnicking dur-
ing daylight hours. Killian said
the city’s lack of an amendment

The sloping roof structure of
the concrete tilt-up building
picks up the motif of the new
police department. The high
building of the design is a gym-
nasium/auditorium with the
lower area a series of offices
and program areas. Scored wall
panels simulate a limestone ap-
pearance on the front. There is a
portico canopy to make car and
bus drop-offs easy.
“It will be a beautiful facility
of 15,000 square feet and much

chairman of the Senior
Advisory Board.

will not prevent Brooks from
operating a campground and
said city staff recommended the
fee schedule be implemented.
Moss Lake Commission vot-
ed 5-1 to not amend the fee
schedule, citing that doing so
would establish a precedent for
commercial uses at the reservoir
and would allow more day
trippers access to the lake,
among other things.
Councilman Gene White sup-
ported a conditional use permit
and said any pier proposals
would be presented to city
management for review.
“This property is already
zoned for a campground,” said ;
Maney. “The city position is to Mog
generate revenue.” ;
But Clavon Kelly said the JER
lake commission and lake prop- a
erty owners are “dead set b ]
against” a fee schedule.
“This is a narrow view taken
by the lake commission,” said KL
White. Bh
“Why limit the lake to short-
term use, this is an invalid argu-
ment,” said White.

is $38.42 monthly.
Maney read a letter from
Moretz Engineering which re-
ported the amount could be in-
creased by adding a bond
which could up monthly rates
by $10. But the mayor has stat-
ed at recent meetings that he
preferred raising the rates to
asking citizens to approve a
bond.
For several years the city has
absorbed increased rates from:
Gastonia but the mayor said the
city needs to start passing on
those rates.
The city has identified $20
million in capital projects over
the next 20 years.
Maney said the city isn't
making money on water and
sewer and the state’s general
statutes for cities with bond in-
debtedness require the city
must show a profit on water
and sewer operations.
“Build a water line into town,
update Spectrum's line for 2
1/2 million gallon capacity and
if Ingles becomes a customer of
the city Ingles can tap onto that
line and others can do the
same,” said the mayor at a re- -
cent meeting. The question
that Council has to address in
an upcoming budget meeting is
how many projects to do next
year and where's the money to
pay for them.

The building on Battleground
Avenue was constructed to
serve as both a temporary resi-
dence and as the initial site for
the Mauney Brothers Store.
At the time of the building
construction, Kings Mountain
supported only one other store
and by 1874 the Mauney broth-
ers moved the mercantile south
from Battleground to face the
railroad in the block between
Mountain and Gold Streets.
While the frame building was
abandoned by the Mauney
brothers in favor of larger
homes and a new store, the in-
creasing population in Kings
Mountain ensured the
dwelling’s continued use. vE
