pee Nn The Kings Mountain Herald April 20, 2006 GARDEN CLUB From 3A since the club was organ- ized over 50 years ago. Their beautification efforts have earned them local and state recognition over the years. Dumpsters were removed from the back parking lots and shrubs and flowers were added in the islands of the expansive area. Every year since 1993 a Crepe Myrtle tree was plant- ed by the club and last year the remaining 17 were planted to complete the project. The ongoing Cherokee Street project has drawn praise from city leaders who have encouraged store own- ers to join in the beautifica- tion effort by improvements to the backs of their build- ings. The stores front on W. Mountain Street and South Battleground Ave. Bridges. said that some store owners have become excited and got involved in the beautifi- cation effort and have remodeled exteriors of their buildings. “We want to have beauty in our city and we want to make Kings Mountain an ¥ inviting place to visit and to. live,” said Mrs. Bridges. FIRE From 1A smoke inhalation. Belle, a loyal pet and family mem- ber, was found inside after the fire. She did not make it back out the last time Fender did and died of smoke inhalation. “I look back and think what I could have or should have done. I should have known better. It says flam- mable on the bottle (polish remover),” Fender said. The day before the fire, she recalled continuously smelling the odor of burning plastic. Tuesday morning, when the fire occurred, both of her daughters, remember feeling a coughing or chok- ing sensation while in their separate classrooms at Kings Mountain High School. Two days before the fire started, Fender had a dream of the house catching fire. These premonitions and bad vibes, that were excused at the time, now add to their regret. The Fender family has a hard time sleeping at night, haunted by the fire that took so much away. Video tapes and other items filled with fond memories of her daughters’ childhoods may have been destroyed. Their clothes are infused with an odor that will never wash out. The insurance adjuster has labeled the remains “a total loss.” But the Bibles in her night- stand are still intact. The out- side covers are barely singed and the inside looks just as it did before. Not a verse or word is missing, signifying that hope and faith will make it through the hottest fires. As much as they have lost, they still have each other. The Fender family has a chance of making more fond memories from the life that was spared. “Everything happens for a reason,” said Fender's boyfriend, Bobby Wooten, hinting that this “total loss” may not be a total loss in the long run. She had lived in the single- wide trailer behind her mother’s house for 6 years. The family of four is now currently staying in a one- bedroom apartment. Her mother, Kathy Lovelace, has set up an account for public donations at the BB&T in Kings Mountain under the names of Kathy Lovelace and Ronda Fender. Fender says, “We need prayers more than any- thing.” She took her Bibles to church with her on Easter Sunday. KM Fire Report 4/9 at 7:45 pm - Service Call, 1303 W.

Kings Mountain Dr. Eskridge City hiring freeze to continue ELIZABETH STEWART Herald Correspondent A freeze on hiring and spending will continue by the City of Kings Mountain until July 1, Interim City Manager Marilyn Sellers said this week. Sellers, who held her first meeting with city department officers last week as the city’s executive officer, said no vacancies will be filled until after the new fiscal year starts July 1. She said all spending by departments must be approved by her office. Mayor Rick Murphrey said that Sellers and finance officer Lori Hall have been busy “putting the figures together on the new budget” and that city council will probably get its first look or draft of a a proposed 2006-2007 budget the first or second week of May. Several work sessions will be scheduled in May for budget review and possible revisions and public hearing and formal adoption will probably be at a special meeting in mid June. The proposed budget will be on display at city hall and available to citizens prior to the public hearing. “We're cutting all we can cut and we are asking employees to do that,” said Sellers. The mayor said the loss of 25 percent in revenues from natural gas and water. and sewer due to the down sizing of industry will be reflected in the upcom- ing budget. Murphrey said city employees who operate vehicles in police, fire and pub- lic works departments are cutting costs as closely as possible but not cutting services to citizens.
