BEN LEDBETTER / THE HERALD Students from East Elementary take time to pose before WATER From 1A “Personally, speaking for myself, I think we've got enough on our plates right now,” Spears said.

From 1A Bob Wooten said he filed a complaint with DSS after the facility allegedly tried to transfer his father-in-law Robert Goforth Sr. According to Wooten, this was after he spoke with Summit Place Executive Director, Kristi Anthony, A about alleged abuse of Goforthorserraét ENR - OC\ © One of the issue's sur- rounding the possible trans- fer was Goforth’s condition. ‘Goforth had been on dial- ysis before he died on February 22. In a letter dated February 8, Anthony requested that Goforth’s family keep a nurse on-site to be with Goforth, which would meet the requirements for skilled care. The, letter said’ skilled care requires a Ssessmient’ and © obser¢HtiBI GH ied ged bin nurses on a 24-hour basis. PARK From 1A efforts. We don’t have as many rangers to do as much programming.” Other areas, such as main- tenance also had to adjust to the state’s financial situa- tion. Sox said some trail and grounds maintenance have had to wait while his staff concentrates on maintaining the park’s buildings and picnic areas. While the state budget sit- uation has not been cata- strophic, Sox said the biggest impact has been the hiring freeze. But Crowders has been able to acquire land that connected the park with the Kings Mountain National and State Parks in South Carolina. That occurred in December 2000. “In some ways, on capital projects and land acquisi- tions, we were able to get some things done that may have been delayed right before all of this happened,” he said. The state didn’t pass a budget before the July 1 start of the fiscal year for the second consecutive year. With that in mind, Sox said there is a possibility certain facilities could be closed a couple days a week. “We hope not, but that is still a possibility until we receive some direction from the administration,” he said. Sox said he’s seen job freezes while at Crowders, but he did not want to spec- ulate on the current finan-« cial situation. But despite the recent financial situations in the state and nation, Sox still sees positive things in his job. “The greatest joy for me in working for parks is being able to be involved in preserving and protecting unique and significant natu- ral resources,” he said. One of the difficulties with his job is the hours. Rangers work most week- ends a year. Since he lives at the park, Sox ¢ould be! dalled 24 hours a daycduring an emergency, something he cited as both an advantage and disadvan-, tage. Sox, who became interest- ed in working with the out- doors in college, said the job does have its perks. “It's a wonderful job. There's not a lot of money involved,” he said. “It’s one of those jobs with great vari- ety to the work and there are frequent rewards - instant and long-term.” COUNTY From 1A sion participants had to stop using. “Somewhere we've got to get away from a county- wide tax to provide Shelby water,” he said. “That is simply a misnomer.” Kings Mountain City Manager Jimmy Maney | questioned whether the plan would benefit Kings Mountain like it would Shelby and the Sanitary District. “The question is, is this the right plan,” he said. “Is this the answer to the coun- ty’s water problem?” Maney said most of the tax dollars in the plan would go to either Shelby or the Sanitary District. He said it would be tough to explain a tax increase for water to some- one who is not served by one of the county’s water providers. COMPLEX From 1A request for the land, said the construction company was turned down for the credit because it did not have enough points to qual- ify. The application only needed a couple more points, Beam said. “We are in the process of renegotiating with the ~~ * Eagan group to put in another application for the project using a local lender,” Beam said. “They feel confident, with a local lender, they can bé success- ful inthe fext round.” SEPTEMBER SALE Your ring sized same day purchased.

I think he was wanting something quite a bit sim- pler but I ended up covering every single wall that he ave me." Although she paints many afternoons, Hardee also works at an area doc- tor's office and teaches at the Kings Mountain branch of the Cleveland County YMCA. Having painted on walls in her hometown of Sanford during high school, Hardee had few problems with the walls at Grace. "Walls aren't really a stranger to me," she said. "These were a little bit tough. They're textured, almost like a popcorn ceil- ing. You can see they're real- ly kind of rough. They were really hard to do a lot of detail on. It made it a little = bit harder. It was a chal- lenge, but it was a lot of fun." Since she had not done a mural in a while, Hardee said she was excited to do the one at Grace. It started in the nursery and went to the other class- rooms. "I just started in the nurs- ery," she said. "I had a good idea of how I wanted it to look and I pretty much threw that together.” Hardee portrayed scenes from the Bible with 36 species of animals pared together similar to descrip- tions in the Old Testament story of Noah's Ark. She has not received any- more requests for murals, but Hardee stays busy recre- ating vacation photos on canvas for family and friends. . With the completion of one mural, Hardee said she might do another one. "I might consider it," she said. FRAME MASTERS CA TY ERY Janes Workman Berry, CPF Past President Carolinas/Damrom C.
