Cleveland County Zoning Administrator Bill McCarter admitted there is a loophole. “There are examples out there where that’s happened,” he said. The county planning board is working to close the loophole, according to McCarter. “We've got a proposal ready Former commissioner Max Rollins criticized the current council. “There is no use for me to say anything. These people aren't going to listen to any- thing. It’s a done deal,” Rollins said. In other business, Mayor Robert Sides said that the town’s water treatment plant had incurred a “small fine” of $350. However, the citation is not all bad news. Being fined often makes towns eligible for state assistance with water the line. Cherokee Fireworks needs the line to provide water to a sprinkler system.

He called it a “way to bring people together.” GROVER From 1A in Grover if the referendum passes. Heath owns the Lucky Diamond, a convenience store located just over the state line. The store sells 6,000 cases of beer each month, according to Heath. South Carolina state law for- bids alcohol sales on Sunday. Heath said he hopes that Grover will approve Sunday sales. During the public comment period at the end of the meet- ing Max Rollins, a former town commissioner, questioned whether the referendum can be held on an even numbered year. Wells said it was his understanding that the election could be held in 2006. After the meeting Toney said that he did not think the vote would cause strife among coun- cil members. “We'll agree on other things,” Toney said. Alcohol sales can come about three ways. A council can approve sales outright, call for a referendum and put the issue before the voters or 35 percent of the registered voters may petition for a referendum. In April Commissioner Bennett made a motion that the council approve a referendum; however, that motion died for lack of a second. Three of the commissioners on the board then lost their seats in November. Last year Calvin Huffman and other supporters attempted to collect the required 35 per- cent of signatures but failed. Supporters got approximately 115 signatures but needed 144. They say that some residents declined to sign the petition because it would become an open, public record. However, they said those people said they would vote for sales during a referendum, which like all elec- tions is confidential.
