After about 15 minutes of deliberation in executive session the council returned with a unanimous vote to purchase the Southern Clinic Urgent Care practice in Clover, SC. CCHS Vice President Sam Cooper said that the property is a primary care and urgent care clinic of about five employees. There are no plans of yet to expand the facility, he added. Also at the meeting, Veronica Poole-Adams presented the report of the Quality Committee meeting that was held on Wednesday, June 6, at noon. She said that there will be changes to the format of the Quality Committee. “We will now have a consent agenda for capital that we will be routinely reporting,” she = said. “The Quality Committee meetings try to focus on in-depth quality issues and we discussed about having patient stories (shared) at the meetings.” The stories may begin to be presented in September. Bryon Gragg gave the report of the Planning Committee that met on Monday, June 11. “At Kings Mountain, the drawing for the end of renovations are being done and we hope for them to be completed within a month,” he said. The current vacancy rate (of job opportuni- ment is in the process of finding new graduates to address that issue,” he said. “At KMH the Emergency Department visits are above budget at three per- cent and there was a situation at which eight ambulances were diverted from Gaston Memorial to Kings Mountain within a two hour period. That is something that will be addressed.” Wade Hendricks gave the Finance and Compliance Committee report which met on June 19. “Sam Cooper presented a purchase option of property on Lake Street which we had previously considered,” he said, adding that a price has been set. The council unanimously agreed to purchase the property on Lake Street in Shelby. The council has yet to release any plans for the nearly one-acre piece of land.

BUSINESS SS SS SS SS SS The Kings Mountain Herald AR a June 28, 2007 Carolina Crossing Clover clinic Former BB’s Pizza expands to full restaurant, changes location and name EMILY WEAVER eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com Grover’s beloved Italian pie- makers, BB’s Pizza and Subs, have moved just down Main Street to its new expanded loca- tion behind Town Hall. Their new name is Carolina Crossing in honor of their strate- gic position between the two Carolinas and just over the rail- road crossing. But Carolina Crossing is offering much more than just pizza and subs. A smor- gasbord of choices awaits the hungry palettes of their cus- tomers, including breakfast, award-winning BBQ, ribs, Southern home-cooking, pizza, sandwiches, pasta, subs, salads, veggies, casseroles and deserts. “We like to cook like Mom used to cook,” said co-owner Linda Brackett. Her mom set the bar pretty high. She and her sis- ter and co-owner Patricia Ledford grew up in the kitchen, following the culinary footsteps of their mother. She made bis- cuits every morning even when she was mad at Dad, Ledford joked. Relatives would often come over for a biscuit and a tomato from their garden before dinner. They grew up in a large family of six girls and three boys in Kings Mountain and have been longtime residents of KM and Grover. Brackett and Ledford said that they opened their doors on Thursday, June 14. All of the hard work, long hours, sweaty brows and nail-biting frustration have proven to be well worth it. The dining area, a great deal eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com Wendy Saldo has worked in the beautification biz since the age of 16, where she started out at Personal Touch in Kings Mountain. At the age of 20, she was a licensed beautician. Today and about 15 years later she has her own one-stop beauty shop, Shear Designs Day Spa, at 706-1 E. King Street, near Frady’s Florist. The doors officially opened on the morning of Wednesday, June 6, with a ribbon cutting. As a teenager at Personal Touch, Saldo met her inspiration. The woman, behind which her dream took form, was Diane Barrett Ellis. “I learned a lot from her,” she said. “I saw how she changed people and made them feel better about them selves. She would do different things to change their appearance with their hairstyle and just seeing them feeling good inspired me.” Ellis passed away last year, leaving a sad mark on all of the hearts she “personally touched.” Faced with the memories of the shop she grew up in and an empty chair once ruled by her mentor, Saldo needed a new start. “Whenever I first went back in there, it wasn't easy after she passed away,” she said. “Even a lot of her old customers couldn’t go back in there. They larger than the one they had at BB's, is full of cozy booths, tables and chairs. The painted walls, framed portraits and pictures come together in the dining room to emulate not just a restaurant, but a home. “We tried to make our place feel like you are coming home to eat,” Brackett said, adding that although they may not be as quick as fast food chains, the quality of their food is worth waiting for. To make that wait more enjoyable, they hope that their homey atmosphere will help the stresses of the world today melt away. As BB’s Pizza and Subs, they had outgrown their small loca- tion on Main Street and decided to find a bigger building in town. But their decision to cook for the public has been brewing in the pot for quite some time. “I really got the fever for it cooking for Wednesday night suppers at church,” Ledford said. She loves the possibility of being creative in the kitchen, something that became limited in her service at the school cafeteria. Ledford and Brackett have about 30 years each in the food service industry. Ledford and her husband used to compete in BBQ contests as “Family Fun.” They racked up several trophies in their compet- ing days, including two consecu- tive first place wins at the Kings Mountain Firehouse Cook-off.

Broome has been a hair stylist for about four years. “It was my dream to do this, ever since I was a little girl,” she said.

Brackett and Ledford give a lot of credit to their hardworking, handy husbands who helped them get their new establishment up and running and to their val- ued staff, who, if not family members by blood, quickly become part of their family. Both Saldo and Broome worked together at Personal Touch and they both feel blessed having known Ellis. Saldo resides in Grover with her hus- band David and two sons Noah, 7, and Lucas, 2. Broome lives in Kings Mountain with her hus- band Harley. She has two chil- dren, Rusty McAbee and Melissa Simon, one son-in-law, David, and step-children Max, Fred and Lindsey Broome.
