Mark Smith is the proud owner of a
second location for his paving com-
pany.
Last Thursday, the Cleveland
County Chamber sponsored a ribbon
cutting at Smith Paving located south
on Highway 161, at 712 York Road.
After the ribbon cutting, Mark served
grilled hotdogs and hamburgers, with
all the trimmings, to his guests.
The new location will be home to
the seal coating, striping, DOT ap-
proved signs, and speed bump division
of Smith Paving. The asphalt division
will remain on Oak Grove Road in

Kings Mountain.
Smith Paving has been in operation
for 15 years providing paving services
to both commercial and residential lo-
cations.
Mark was previously in the NC
Army National Guard, and was de-
ployed twice — the first time to Ft.
Belvoir, VA, and the second time to
Iraq. He realized that being in the Na-
tional Guard made it harder to run his
company, and how the paving company ,
gets his full attention. :
He and his wife, Kathy, have two
sons, Maverick 11, and Gavin 6. Mark
KM locati
aii
is the son of Rock and Janet Smith of
Kings Mountain.
He pointed out that several of his
employees would be late for lunch be-
cause they were working on sealing the
parking lot at Subway here in Kings
Mountain. He employees four full-time
employees and is planning to employ
several more as his business continues
to grow.

Smith can contact him at

Carolina Cross Connec-

area for the 26th summer

erly homeowners who need a
helping hand.
Chelsea Spyres, Director
at Camp Loy White in Casar,
said campers will arrive Sun-
day and adults and youth from
three churches will be scour-
ing the neighborhood to offer
free service to senior residents
needing a wheelchair ramp,
porch repairs, yard work, etc.
“It’s a labor of love and we
get the names of those in need
from churches, social serv-
ices, and senior centers and
some 120 projects are in the
planning stages this summer,”
she said this week.
Spyres spent a week at
camp as a junior in high
school and got the volunteer
fever. Now a senior at the

will be welcoming campers
from Cross Connection to
Cleveland County and head-
ing up the local program.
During the first two weeks
in the county 52 campers —
8th graders through high
school age- and adults will
participate in a variety of pro-
grams. They expect to paint,
do a lot of yard work, repair
steps, and build wheelchair
ramps, among other things,
and also enjoy an outreach
ministry that provides an op-
portunity for young adults to
put their faith in action.
“We minister from tool
sheds and front porches,” said
Spires, adding, “Each year we
host over 1300 youth and
adult campers in five camp lo-
cations to be the hands and
feet of Christ to 700 house-
holds.”
Churches often pay tuition
for a week of activities for
youth 13-18, which not only
includes work assignments
from 9 am.-4:30 p.m., but
recreation, good food, free
time, games, sharing and wor-
ship at the camp site. Home-
owners are asked to provide
materials for home repairs or,
if they are unable to provide
materials, resources may be
provided.
Volunteers work in a three
county area - Cleveland, Gas-
ton and Lincoln - from June
17 until the first week in Au-

ates four service camps in
2013 and is staffed year-round
in Concord.
“Call 704-538-9113 to

volved in the program or if
you know someone who
needs a helping hand,” says
Spyres.
