KM Rotary Club recognizes teacher, officer of the year By KAMIE CHAMPION Two special people were honored by the Kings Mountain Rotary Club for their service and dedi- cation to the community at Thursday's luncheon meeting at Ramada Limited. : Lieutenant Melvin Proctor with the Kings Mountain Police Department was presented a plaque for KM Rotary Law Enforcement Officer of the Year and Danny McDowell, a 27 year veter- an teacher, was presented a plaque for KM Rotary Teacher of the Year. Proctor, a 12 year employee with the police de- partment, said he was “shocked and speechless” when he was notified of the honor. Proctor ac- cepted the award from Rotarian Paul Brintley with much appreciation and said he contributed his efforts to his belief in searching for the posi- tive aspects in life and being a role model for young people. “I believe in baseball, hotdogs, ap- ple pie, God, and taking time with kids because they are our future,” added Proctor. Proctor is the lieutenant of the detective divi- sion and the firearms instructor. His wife, Sergeant Lisa Proctor, is over the narcotics divi- sion. Proctor was the US Mideast Light weight Kickboxing Champion in 1985 and a past bull rid- er. He spends time with his two children, train- ing in marshal arts, and bowling. McDowell's service and dedication to the stu- dents at Bethware Elementary was more than ap- parent as his list of accomplishments and activi- ties were read by Rotarian Jane Alexander. McDowell, who is currently KM Teacher of the Year and a two-time state math teacher of the year, is very active with PTO and with Galilee Church. He says that he is continually searching for new and better ways to make a difference with people, especially students. When he began teaching fresh out of Appalachian State University he said he committed himself to being the best possible classroom teacher and a positive worker in the community. He added, “Service to the students does not stop in the class- room. I love what I do and I do it wholehearted- ly.” At the conclusion of the meeting the Rotarians gave these special people a standing ovation for what they do in the Kings Mountain community.
