February 6, 2003 The Kings Mountain Herald Page 3A SPACE From 1A heard of the disaster. However, he said the words the President spoke at the memorial service on Tuesday encouraged him. “I know they [President's words] were comforting to the families,” he said. He said he also thought the recounting of the vic- tims’ stories during the serv- ice showed how close the flight units at NASA are. Rev. Jeff Hensley, of Kings Mountain Baptist Church, said that they remembered the victims and their fami- lies during their prayer time on Sunday morning. One young adult Sunday School class discussed the event’ extensively, he said. “I think the majority of our people were shocked still,” he said. The older generations remembered the Challenger disaster as well, he said. He said the shuttle disaster was just another blow to the people who were already struggling with the fact that the United States may go to war with Iraq. He said he had a cou- ple people express anger at some people in the Arab world who might have seen the event as a sign from Allah. More people will begin to talk about it now that the memorial service is over, he said. He said the hospital- ized members that he visit- ed on Tuesday were glued to the service on television. While the nation is in mourning for the seven astronauts who were killed in the accident, local ele- mentary and high school counselors said that few children have confided in them about the event. “We really haven't done anything special for the shuttle. We left it up to the teachers if they needed me or if the kids needed me. There really wasn’t a con- cern. They just handled it in the classroom,” said Grace Costner, counselor at East Elementary School. “Honestly I havent had any come by and see me about it,” said Leigh Bell, counselor at Kings Mountain High School. She said another counselor, Shelby Bert, had had stu- dents make comments about the tragedy to her but none who seemed distraught or who needed counseling. If a child were to need counseling about the tragedy, Bell said she would talk with them and then let the parents know that their child was upset about the situation. LITTER From 1A said, although nothing "against it because of the cost at the time. The city would probably need to do curbside recycling in order getting filled up,” said Murphrey. “We all know to protect our environment, we've got to do something about recycling.” to have a successful pro- ram, he said. “I think it’s important to recycle. Our landfills are has been scheduled yet. The city has been lucky because the mayor of Gastonia, Jenny Stultz, serves on the national board, where she goes around and helps people set up branches of the organization, said Murphrey. Stultz has been able to help the Kings Mountain branch get started, he said. As part of the ongoing program, Ellis Noell, the city’s special events direc- tor and a member of the Keep Kings Mountain Beautiful project, said he would like to get local garden clubs and civic groups involved in the effort. He said he would also like to see a recycling area placed at all of the. city’s events. “If there's a way to keep things out of land- fills, so much the better,” he said. Currently, the city does not have a recycling pro- gram, although Murphrey said the city would discuss it again in the next budget review. Last year, the city looked at recycling and decided The city has to pay for the amount of garbage that goes to the landfill, he said. Reducing the amount of trash that goes to the landfill would save money which could be better spent in recycling. Noell stressed that the Keep Kings Mountain Beautiful project was not a group that walked down the street to pick . up trash. He said the group was looking at lit- ter prevention policies, recycling, and ways to beautify the city as well. “We want a healthy environment,” he said. Keep America Beautiful is a nonprofit organization dedicated to community improve- ment, litter prevention, and beautification. Currently the organiza- tion has almost 500 affili- ates. Kings Mountain is working to become certi- fied by the organization. For more informa- tion or to get involved in the Keep Kings Mountain Beautiful project, call Ellis Noell at 704-730-2103.
