Buffalo Baptist Church remains a fixture
CHURCH FROM 1A
Manufacturing Co. owner Tom Lattimore in 1913, Still, the schoolhouse did for several more years, and a room to it was added in 1922,
In the 1920s,services were held on the fourth Saturday and Sunday of each month. By 1934, it was two Sundays a month.
Itwas 1950before the church had its first full-time pastor, the Rev. O. B. Williams, and 1952 when the wooden building was moved over
a
little to make way for a new brick church, which opened in 1953..That is the sanctuary the congregation worships in today; and the congregation enjoys an educational building/fellow-ship hall opened in 1965. The
old wooden church was sold then, dismantled and moved.
. Traditions dear to Buffalo include Easter Sunrise service, with the Lord's Supper served out in the cemetery; followed by breakfast, now served in the fel-lowship hall.
Memorial Day - always the fourth Sunday in May - the day for remembering the faith-ful who came before, was an outdoor event too.
"Itwas hot and those flies ... but we had some good times there," Mrs. Stamey said.
Dinner on the grounds was sheltered by the tall trees, and flowers were brought to deco-rate the graves in the cemetery.
Church historian Bertha Lackey wrote in the preface to the 75th anniversary book in 1977,"We remember those who
have given us our heritage ... In His mercy, we face the future."

The first church building was a school house, and church members added
ed by agreeing to have EMS sta-tioned at the site.
And while fireflghters haven't been assigned to the station yet, Hamrick said they will enjoy a top-notch facility and
state-of-the-art equipment.
The fire department has already bought a new fire truck for the station. Hamrick said the coverage area is a mixture of res-idential and commercial build-ings, meaning the fire depart-ment needs a versatile vehicle.
He said the truck they bought fits the bill, with a 75-foot, 600-pound capacity ladder, rescue equipment and remote control water nozzles.
"You can run it like a Nintendo system," Hamrick said of the remote control features.
Hamrick said residents will be as pleased with the new fire station as he is.
"I think the community over there will be proud of it," he said.

Altman says Hollywood is now more interested in "toy films" than adult-oriented fare ..
"They are appealing to the 13-year-olds straight across. And they don't even do them well. There is no reason why this recent Tom Cruise film, 'Mission: Impossible 2,' can't be good as well as have all the action they need," Altman said. "They are making stuff that 11 1

Four firefighters and two EMS workers will be on duty at the station 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The station is the third sta-tion in the Shelby Fire Department; the other two are the Grover Street Station and the Charles Road Station.
Freeman said building the Kings Road Extension station has been a cooperative effort between the city, the county and Cleveland Community College.
"The property we're building on was owned by the community college," Freeman said. "The col-lege is building a classroom and fire training center at the rear of the property."
This training center will serve all of the fire departments

most people at first." Local ordinances in most Triangle governments now require a percentage of each development to be left as "open space," a policy that saves trees but encourages forest fragmenta-tion. Other ordinances aim to pro-tect street trees and buffers along adjoining properties.
But Kate Dixon, executive director of the Triangle Land Conservancy, said regional plan-ning for open space and forest preservation is minimal.
In April, the conservancy, an environmental group in Raleigh, called for a "Greenl'rint;" a devel-opment plan that would identify the remaining tracts of forest that could be targeted for protection.
"It's a tremendously complex problem we've got before us," said Neal Hunt, chairman of the Raleigh Planning Commission. "Tree preservation is critical .... On the other hand, we've got pri-vate-property rights."

Crocodile Dundee,
where have you been?
BRISBANE, Australia (AP)
- U.S.-based actor Paul Hogan will return home to Australia to make a third movie about Outback swashbuckler Crocodile Dundee.
The Queensland state gov-ernment said the filming of "Crocodile Dundee III" would start.in August at the Movie World Studios on the Gold Coast, 55 miles south of Brisbane.
A former construction work-er and stand-up comic, Hogan became a celebrity after starring as the laconic, wisecracking title character in the 1986hit
"Crocodile Dundee," which earned an Academy Award nom-ination for its three writers.
While still a hit, a 1988sequel was not as successful as the orig-inal and Hogan's career has ' flagged since. His most recent success has been as a celebrity pitchman for the Subaru Outback.
tailpipe test," Gordey said. However, since the OBD sys-tem didn't become standard until 1996, older cars can't be tested. Gordey said by 2004, most cars on the road will be 1996 models or newer and as time passes, a larger percentage of cars will need testing.
The tougher air pollution standards are designed to reduce ozone levels, which is the main factor in urban smog. Cars and trucks account for about half of the state's ozone-forming emissions, according to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Most of the counties added to the list of tested counties are in the Piedmont, the state's most heavily populated area.
The new standards take effect in Lincoln County on Jan. 1, 2004, and in Rutherford County on July 1, 2005.
EMISSIONS FROM 1A
Go~dey s.aid the testing pro-gram Itself IS changing and the "tailpipe test" now used in Gaston and other tested coun-ties won't be used when testing starts up in Cleveland County.
Instead, cars will have to pass an on-board diagnostic (OBD) test.
"In 1996, the auto industry standardi~ed ,~hisOBD system," Gordey said. They have a little plug around the dash area where you plug in an OBD tool."
