•) «) •) (I 0 ♦) •> Alignment Of Gold Okayed Thunday. Saptambar 17. 1911-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Paga 3A Chevy Dealership Sold From Pag* 1-A the matter and bring a full report to the board in the future. The project, Moss said, will ^ also allow the city to complete • the widening of East Gold in the future from Gaston Street to Highway 161, and would make the city-owned property on the south side of West Gold more appealing to potential business citizens. Commissioners also discussed the possibility of constructing a walk-over in the mid-town area ^ for pedestrians to cross the * railroad tracks. Commissioner Norman King said a walk-over would be necessary for “safety”, and the alignment of East and West Gold would be good because “traffic going north and turning west onto Gold doesn’t know if the light is green or red.” Moss said drivers also “get 9 jammed up with left-hand turn ing traffic and you find yourself on the tracks while others are turning left.” KM Students Exceptional ^ From Pago 1-A Kings Mountain twenty teachers, two (2) educational diagnosticians, two (2) psychologists, two (2) aides and a child-find/social worker are employed spiecifically to work with exceptional children. All schools have a resource room to serve students. In a resource A room, the student may be taught ^ for part of the school day in a special class and spend the re mainder of the day in the regular classroom. In a cooperative ef fort with Shelby City Schools and Cleveland County Schools, Kings Mountain District Schools also serves orthopedically im paired students, multihandicap ped students and trainable men- • tally handicapped students. Some of these stu^nts are serv ed at the Children’s Center in Shelby. In addition to providing pro grams for a variety of students I other services are available ; which include an on-going child- find census to discover students who ar being served; staff development activities for 0 classroom teachers, special teachers, parents and ad ministrators; and special pro grams provided as the result of grants secured from special fun ding from the State Department of Public Instruction. Kings Mountain District Schools has been awarded two special grant awards for excep tional children in the past two ^ years. One award was to begin a program for secondary learning disabled students at Central School, Kings Mountain Junior High School and Kings Moun tain Senior High School. The other award was to train staff to provide a summer program for academically talented youngsters. — Although special grants are V quite helpful in providing sup port for special students, one of the most necessary and perhaps the key ingredient in providing appropriate services to excep tional children is the support net work provided by parents, teachers, school principals, ad ministrative staff, local and state legislators and the Division for A Exceptional Children. Success ^ for children depends on the cooperation, planning, caring and interest of all of these peo ple...and it is occurring in Kings Mountain. irS A GIRL Mr. and Mrs. Charles Allen of Denton, N.C., announce the birth of a daughter, Jennifer A Susan, eight pounds, 11 ounces, ^ on August 22 at Randolph Memorial Hospital in Asheboro. They also have a son, Jeremy, age 5. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Allen of Kings Mountain and Mrs. James Wilson and the late Mr. Wilson of Gastonia. ITS A BOY Mr. and Mrs. Myron George A of Raleigh announce the birth of ^ their second child, David Hunter, September 6 at Rex Hospital. Mrs. George is the former Joy Bridges. Grand parents are Mr. and Mrs. John George Jr. and Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Bridges of Kings Mountain, and great-grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. John George Sr. of Kings Mountain and Mr. and W Mrs. J.M. Franklin of Hickory. Moss said much of the work on the project can be handled by the city work force, but some work will have to be contracted out. The board authorized Moss to continue to develop the project and its costs and to report back to the board as it is carried out. In another matter Monday, the board, by common consent, authorized Moss to urge the Department of Transportation to consider an alternate route of detour in the North Piedmont Avenue area, where several streets have been closed off due to the Highway 74 bypa.ss con struction. Traffic has been re-routed to Cansler Street, but citizens in the area petitioned the board to re open some of the streets to local traffic only. Citizens are asking that Lackey, Gantt, Walker, and Waco Road be re-opened so local residents may use side streets to enter Piedmont Avenue south of the area where the bypass crosses North Pied mont. It was also reported that the Baker Street entrance to Pied mont has been clo.sed off, and residents of that area of town have only the end of the street which crosses the railroad tracks at Burlington Mill to get to and from their homes. The closing of the Piedmont end of the street would create a dangerous situa tion, the residents said, if emergency vehicles needed to get into the area and a train had the crossing blocked at Burl ington. “It’s a most inconvenient situation,” said Commissioner King, who is the District Four representative. “If we had a fire or needed an ambulance in that area, it would take quite a bit of time to get in there.” Moss said the DOT has been “very cooperative” during the construction period and “our ap proach would be to work with them in harmony.” In other action Monday, the board: *Approved annexation of the Charles E. Blalock property on Highway 74 West. •Adopted a resolution to close Pine Street between Oak Street and Cansler Street. •Forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board a request from Charles L. and Ruby M. Alexander to rezone property at the intersection of West Moun tain and South Watterson streets from R-8 to R-6 for the purpose of constructing a multi-family dwelling. •Proclaimed Sept. 14-18 as “Clean-up, Fbt-up Week” in Kings Mountain. •Approved a resolution of Ap preciation and Commendation for Plato James Heavner, who has retired after several years of service with the Kings Mountain Fire Department. •Approved the employment of Patrick Witherspoon as a full time fireman. From Pag* 1-A managed by vice president Barry Laughridge, and he will also con tinue to operate the Jim Testa Racing Team, which is currently based in Virginia. Tesla sponsors veteran driver Lenny Pond on the NASCAR tour. He said that operation may be moved back to Kings Mountain or to Spartan burg in the future. Testa said the new Chevrolet facility will be “three or four times bigger” than the current facility on Railroad Avenue, “and in terms of the physical ground, it will be six times big ger," he said. “I think the facility will be something the city can be proud of,” Testa said. “I’ve always lov ed cars, and this is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always thought I could sell cars but this is the first time an oppor tunity to purchase a dealership has come up in our area. I want to make it nice and make a profit too.” PUBUSHED EACH THURSDAY GARLAND ATKINS GARY STEWART DARRELL AUSTIN Publlahar Editor Gonoral Manogor MEMBER OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCUTION Tho Harold Is publlshad by Harold Publishing Housa.
