I wash no cars, wash 4 loads of clothes per month and take a 6-8 minute shower each day. I did some calculating and came up with some interest- ing figures, and would like to know “ Where The Money Goes?” These figures are based only on water; no electric or sewer or land fill. I based this figure on 9,000 homes in Kings Mountain. I'm sure there are that many. My water bill alone is $10.80 per month. For 9,000 residents that is $97,200.00 per month. I . am paying myself for 1 year $129.60. For 9,000 residents that comes to be a whopping $1,166,400.00. Hey, that’s just for water, people. Where does all this money go? Add up the landfill disposal fee and the sewer fee and you will have one more hunk of change, my friend. All this does not even include the electric part of the bill. All this was based on my water bill alone and I am sure that most of the rich and high and mighty don't pay anywhere as much as I do because I am on disability and a fixed income and I am sure I have to carry the rich as the poor always does. Thank you Kings Mountain, you do give me a 10% dis- count, I almost forgot. Michael Wood Kings Mountain Herald article helped family To the editor: I would like to offer my sincere thanks to you and Andie Brymer for your publication of my husband’s (William “Butch” Phillips) fund raiser, conducted by our friends at Amvets Post 995 on October 15. Your fast response for an interview with Andie and our story made known in the Kings Mountain Herald, drew assistance from so many people, community members and businesses throughout Kings Mountain and beyond. This outpouring of assistance from those that know us, as well as people who did not, was overwhelming and such a display of human compassion that it is difficult for us to fully express our gratitude in words. As you quoted us in your story, he is alive with us today because of his positive will and outlook for life, hundreds of prayers and prayer lists, and most importantly God's will. He is also blessed with some of the best surgeons and doctors in the Southeast. Your article led to a call to Butch from another family in plight with liver disease. He was so happy to lend experi- ences as well as leads to some of his doctors to assist this family. Without your article the two of them would not ‘have connected to one another. The United Veterans Association in Gastonia also per- formed another benefit for Butch the following weekend, and we offer our sincere gratitude for their thoughtfulness and efforts to do this for us. There are so many friends, organizations, community members, business members, fellow bikers, co-workers and family members that we would like to thank personally, but to name all of them would require at least a full page of your newspaper! To all the numerous people and merchants that supported and donated raffle items for the Amvets event, we cannot tell you how much we appreciate your kindness. ; If you could find it in your heart to grant one more favor for Butch and myself by publishing this letter, so that all of the individuals that helped us know how extremely grate- ful we are to them. A very special thanks to out Amvets family and friends for all the hard work and personal time that they devoted to this benefit. They know that we love them all. Sincerely, Michelle Phillips Kings Mountain Thanks for reunion coverage To the editor: Thanks so much to Andie Brymer for the wonderful cov- erage in photos and writing of the 50th reunion of Bethware High School class of 1955. We had such a wonderful time that evening and you captured the event well. Thanks for all the news items you do for The Herald.
