Guest artist will be “New Vision,” a musical outreach en- semble of Charlston Southern University. There is no charge for admis- sion and food will be served. TRIATHLON From 1A “It was a fun course,” said Jeff Murray of Charlotte. “The hills made it challenging.” Murray was not only first out of Moss Lake, he also took first place in the Male Division with a time of 1:12:55. Competitors for the Over the Mountain Triathlon came from as far away as Georgia to take part in the event. Folks in sever- al age groups as well as female athletes participated. In the Cleveland County Male results, Billy Wease of Kings Mountain finished second with a time of 1:43:17. County Female results saw another Kings Mountain athlete, Jordam Wollak come in second with a time of 1:47:28. Some athletes chose to con- centrate on one portion of the three leg course as part of a re- lay. One of these was Kings Mountain's own Tim Plonk who rode the bicycle part. “It was like ridin” home ground,” Plonk said of the 15 mile course. “It was not particu- larly difficult, yet is wasn’t easy either. I gave it 100 percent.” Plonk said that the event has the potential for growth. “If the organizers can get the event on the North Carolina se- ries next year, then I think it could double the number of competitors,” he said. “I think everyone enjoyed it a lot.” The Over the Mountain Triathlon was part of the inau- gural “Good 4 You Festival” sponsored by the City of Kings Mountain, the Kings Mountain Business and Professional Association, and several other local business and civic organi- zations. Besides the Triathlon, other events that were part of the Good 4 You Festival includ- ed a Health Fair, Bluegrass Jam, Sports Art Competition, Good 4 You food court, information booths from organizations such as the Cleveland County Arts Council and Kings Mountain National Military Park. Additional events at the Good 4 You Festival included a Mini Trike Triathlon for the kids, and the Mayor’s Invitational Bike Ride that saw cyclists join Kings Mountain mayor Rick Murphrey on a 1.7 mile circuit around town. “I'm very excited about how the Over the Mountain Triathlon and Good 4 You Festival went,” said Murphrey. “We plan to make next year’s event even bigger and better.” Results Male Division; Jetf Murray, Charlotte, 1:12:55.

Other requests for changes to the zoning map revolved around business ventures. On example was a request by Allen and Rhonda Nivens of 516 Oak Grove Road to have a new por- tion of their property changed from R-10 to General Business so they could expand an auto business. This recommendation was approved. Another busi- ness owner, Betty Grant of Putnam Road, was asked to provide more information to the Zoning Board before a de- termination of her request for change from R-10 to a business designation could be finalized. Throughout the meeting, citi- zens approached the micro- phone and let the Zoning Board know how they felt about the ET] as a whole as well as their individual cases. Pete Ruff of 213 Wright Road summed up his feelings with some vigorous oratory. “People, especially older peo- ple, have a lot of questions about the new zoning regula- tions,” Ruff said. “Many of us have bought our lands to spend our days on, and now we don’t know what the future may bring.” § Zoning board chairman Jim Childers sought to allay Sverye one’s fears. “All we are trying to doi is Kings Mountain Weather Report anyone’s livelihood or proper- Zi or = Childers went on to say that anyone who wanted to com- ment further on the ET] ques- tion could do so at the City Council meeting on September 126. In other business, the Zoning Board voted Lou Ballew as vice chairman. The Board also agree . to draw up a list of their top 10 ordinance and minimum hous- ing violators for review at their next meeting. The Board also heard from Lake Montonia property owner Shirley Brutko who expressed that area’s de- sire to work with Kings Mountain to “enhance and pre- serve” that unique and historic enclave.’ SHOOTING From Page 1A According to Bumgardner’s repost, three men and a.woman were driving through the park- ing lot of McDonalds at the KM Plaza when a silver Cadillac oc- cupied by four black men pulled up. The driver of the Cadillac reportedly began yelling at them as they drove off. When the vehicle stopped for a traffic light at the intersec- tion of King St. and Phifer Road, two black males report- edly exited the silver Cadillac. One was alleged to have pro- duced a handgun, and the other alleged to have taken it out of his hand and fired several shots - into the car as it was trying to leave. MERGER and the Cleveland County Commissioners spoke briefly before the Board cast its vote. The vote of reaffirmation was necessary because the Kings Mountain School Board ap- pealed the June decision to an Administrative Law Judge. He later ruled that the State Board followed the law in approving the merger plan. But, the reaffirmation doesn’t settle the issue by a long shot. Kings Mountain Schools can appeal that decision, and still pending are two lawsuits and preclearance by the U.S. Justice Department. Kings Mountain School Supt. Bob McRae was not able to at- tend last week’s meeting in Greenville, but said he antici- pates that KM attorneys Richard Schwartz and Brian Shaw will appeal the decision to Wake County Superior Court. “Our Board has instructed our attorneys to consider every potential avenue to stop the merger,” he said. “I suspect they will pursue that.” McRae said from his discus- sions with legal experts, the lawsuits appear to be moving along at a typical pace. “I don’t know how long it will take to resolve all the is- sues,” he said. “It could be the first of the new year. Just fol- lowing the normal process, the Court of Appeals situation could take a minimum of three months.” : The Cleveland County Commissioners had planned for the merger to take effect on July 1, 2000. They named an interim board to oversee the merger of the three systems, and the Board has already chosen Cleveland County Supt. Gene Moore as the superintendent, -with McRae and Shelby Supt. Cliff Wilson being his assistants. However, Kings Mountain's lawsuits against the Commissioners and the State Board won last minute stays in Cleveland County and Wake County Superior Courts, re- spectively, and then the Justice Department requested more in- formation from the County’s merger attorney and said it would take up to 60 days to make a decision. The merger must be cleared by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Department. “The pace has not been as hectic as it was during the spring and early summer,” McRae said. “We just continue to operate and our teachers are doing their usual very focused job of trying to teach the kids. We'll be prepared to keep func- tioning as Kings Mountain District Schools, and if we hap- pen to come out losing on our contention on the merger issue we'll be prepared to help in the transition.” CALL From 1A about what I thought appropri- ate action would be, including the individual board member who was the victim of the call. “At this point in time I have no verifiable evidence that the employee has not fully com- plied with the disciplinary ac- tion imposed.” Danny. Bolin said the employ- ee’s remarks were clearly in vio- lation of school personnel poli- cy. “I don’t want her to lose her job, but I want them to take care of it,” he said. “It was never our intention for this to get blown out of the water like this. I'm disappointed that it hasn't been handled. She breached their agreement, in my opin- ion.” Chamber Night set at Gardner-Webb Cleveland County Chamber Industry Appreciation Night will be held Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Gardner-Webb-Mars Hill football game.
