Arrowood is YMCA huge success story By Loretta Cozart A mother’s love and a YMCA membership put Colten Arrowood on the path to personal success. Two years ago, Arrowood’s mother, Lareina Carpenter felt increasing concern for her then 14-year-old son who was struggling with his own identity, as many adolescents do at that age. Carpenter faced the challenge head-on and took her son with her to the Kings Mountain Family YMCA every morning before going to work. “Colten didn’t like going to the Y at 5 a.m. but several police officers took him under their wing and showed him proper weight lifting techniques.” At 14, Arrowood didn’t have much to do after school. Over time, his confidence in himself was transformed through his activity at the YMCA. “Instead of playing video games all afternoon Colten now goes to the Y every chance he gets,” Carpenter said. “If he is unable to get
COLTEN ARROWOOD to Kings Mountain Family YMCA, he goes to Cherryville since full privilege YMCA members have the flexibility to use other YMCA facilities throughout
the country.” Two years later, Arrowood’s whole personality changed, according to his mother. “Through lifting weights, he has transformed his appearance, too,” she said. “But it isn’t about that. The Y has given him confidence in himself. He dresses differently. He acts differently. The Y has made a remarkable difference for him. “Through the YMCA, Colten gained the confidence to be himself while working on the man he wants to become. He can relax at the Y and meet people in a safe environment. The Y is a comfortable place to be himself,” Carpenter said. See ARROWOOD, Page 7A
On Friday, January 18, 2019 at 1 p.m., Interim Police Chief Lisa Proctor was promoted to Chief of Police by Kings Mountain City Manager Marilyn Sellers. “I am very proud of Lisa Proctor as the first woman Police Chief. It took a lot of determination and training to reach her ultimate career goal. We are very fortunate to have someone qualified inside the organization to step up as Chief that has a Christian heart and deeply cares and is dedicated to our community. I look forward to working with her in making Kings Mountain a better and safer place to live,” Sellers said. Working for six different Police Chiefs during her career, Proctor has served in every position in the department except Sergeant at Moss Lake. Proctor began her career on March 30, 1992, as a full-time patrol officer at the Kings Mountain Police Department until she became the D.A.R.E officer at the city’s elementary schools for the next three years. Her next assignment was as Sergeant over a pa-
LISA PROCTOR Kings Mountain Police Chief trol squad. She was later named Detective Sergeant over Narcotics and placed over the department’s K-9 and community-oriented policing. In 2016 Proctor became the first female Lieutenant supervising all criminal investigations at the Kings Mountain Police Department. In 2017, Chief Tessneer promoted Proctor to Assistant Chief on October 30, 2017, a first for KMPD. After the unexpected passing of Chief Tessneer last October, Proctor was promoted to Interim Chief. At 1 p.m. on January 18, 2019, Lisa Proctor was promoted to Chief of Police. After 26-plus-years in the department, Police Chief
Lisa Proctor has taken her place in history as the very first female Police Chief in Kings Mountain, and the very first for all of Cleveland County. Commenting on her promotion, Proctor said, “First, I want to thank my God for all He has done in my life. His Word says that “I know the plans I have for you to prosper you and to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 “I’d also like to thank my husband Melvin for his unwavering faith and encouragement! I also want to thank the rest of my family and all the friends I have made in this city over the past 26 1/2 years proudly serving this amazing city. I am truly honored and humbled by this opportunity to serve as your Chief. To God be all the glory,” she said. “I’m am also very proud to say I was promoted by the first female and longest serving City Manager in the history of Kings Mountain,” Proctor added. Lisa Proctor will be sworn in on February 1, at 3:00 p.m. at a ceremony in Council Chambers at Kings Mountain City Hall.
Super Wolf Blood Moon Lunear eclipse on Sunday By Loretta Cozart On Sunday, January 20th the only lunar eclipse until 2021 could be seen by everyone in the continental United States, depending upon local weather conditions. According to NASA, an eclipse happens when a full moon aligns with both the Earth and the sun, with the Earth sandwiched in the
middle. When the moon travels into the shadow cast by the earth, the eclipse occurs. The shadow of the earth makes the eclipse appear red. When the eclipse occurs in January, it is called “Full Wolf Moon.” What makes the eclipse a “Supermoon” is that it is very close to the earth in its orbit. Combine the three criteria and you have a “Super Blood Wolf
Moon Eclipse.” For those on the east Coast, the eclipse was at its peak at 12:12 a.m. on Monday morning. At that point, the moon appeared a reddish orange. The entire eclipse lasted one hour and two minutes. If you missed it, the next total lunar eclipse will occur in May 2021. The next Blood Moon won’t happen until 2022.
Shown above are different stages of the Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse taken by Ellen Devenney before midnight on Sunday, January 20. The eclipse happened Sunday night and early AM Monday.

AAA Carolinas: bad weather can signal Bad batteries With frigid temperatures expected in the Carolinas late this weekend and early next week, AAA Carolinas is warning motorists that the cold front could cause problems for their car battery. “Sudden temperature changes can shock a vehicle, hindering its ability to run properly,” said Dusty Holcomb, president of AAA Carolinas Car Care. “Car batteries are especially vulnerable during this time of the year and we want to caution Carolinians to be proactive ahead of the cold front.” At a comparatively mild 32 degrees, a car’s battery is 35 percent weaker than at warmer temperatures. At zero degrees, a car’s battery loses approximately 60 percent of its strength. As the air outside cools, the oil in the car thickens making it harder to turn the engine over. “We offer free battery checks at our AAA Car Care Centers,” added Holcomb. “Our experienced technicians can detect if there is any corrosion and inspect battery cables, posts and fasteners. We’ll test the battery to determine whether it needs to be replaced and get you back on the road safely.” If the starter motor cranks
Wednesday, January 23, 2019
the engine slowly or the battery/charging warning light is illuminated, there could be a battery problem. Another weak battery indicator on older vehicles is dim incandescent headlights, particularly at idle. However, not every failing battery reveals itself through obvious symptoms. AAA Carolinas recommends the following tips to motorists for battery maintenance: Get it checked. Have the battery and electrical system inspected by a trusted mechanic prior to extreme temperatures. This will prevent you from any surprises before you start your day. For a link to AAA Car Care Centers click here: https:// carolinas.aaa.com/automotive/carcare/ Get it tested. Every six months is a good guideline for how often you should have your battery tested, especially if it’s more than a few years old. This ensures that its available starting power stays at appropriate levels. Switch it off. Not the battery, of course, but the lights, heater and wipers.

North Carolina collects $188 Million surplus, reports solid growth in jobs and wages North Carolina collected $188 million more in tax revenue than projected over the first two quarters of the fiscal year and the state economy is “experiencing solid growth in terms of both employment and wages,” according to an economic report released Thursday by the state’s Fiscal Research Division. North Carolina’s General Fund Revenue Update said “the economy is on solid footing and remains in a stable growth pattern” as historic tax relief and business climate reforms continue to drive job creation and new investments in the state’s private sector. The economic report also predicted “a revenue forecast for stronger wage growth in 2019” and said the surplus suggests the pace for salary gains are ahead of projections in the first half of the fiscal year. North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) praised his legislative colleagues for enacting smart budgets and government reforms that help families and businesses: “Our state's excellent economic reports reflect a rising
quality of life for families and businesses in North Carolina as a result of our commitments to their priorities," Moore said. "The General Assembly must maintain our proven economic approach to creating opportunity and prosperity for millions of North Carolinians.” The $188 million revenue surplus continues a trend of North Carolina collecting substantially more in taxes than expected as economic reforms enacted by the Republican-controlled General Assembly take effect. The state has reported six consecutive revenue surpluses, including a $580 million surplus in May 2017, a $356 million surplus in May 2018, and a $400 million surplus in August 2018. “Corporate taxpayers are a big reason” for the state’s revenue surplus as corporate income tax collections exceeded expectations by $37.1 million and franchise tax collections were $45.8 million over target, according to the report. The two sources of income from primarily large businesses are a combined
$82.9 million above the fiscal year’s 6-month target. “In addition to being over target, corporate income tax collections are up 16.5% over last year” and “the economy is stronger now than it was a year ago,” according to the Fiscal Research Division report. “Since the economy remains on solid footing, the risk of the State not reaching the projected revenue for the fiscal year is minimal,” it says. “Current data on income and overall economic activity (i.e., Gross State Product) indicate that the State’s economy is growing at a steady, solid pace.” Though North Carolina has faced two major hurricanes inside three years – both producing ‘500-year floods’ that devastated dozens of counties – the legislature was well-prepared to inject immediate relief into those regions after saving a record $2 billion rainy day fund. The state General Assembly has committed over $1 billion in hurricane relief aid to North Carolinians since 2016.

“New, Abundant Life!” 10:10) In John 10, In this new year, Jesus describes His we have considered ministry by likening what it means to have it to a shepherd car“new life” through ing for sheep. The faith in Jesus Christ. good shepherd lays New spiritual power down his life for the for life, along with a sheep. He fends off new standing of acstrangers who are ceptance before God enemies and thieves. sounds good; but, is Rev. This is an image of it just “pie in the sky Rob Patrick, protection and care. in the sweet by and Pastor by,” as the old saying Boyce Memorial Psalm 23 describes the shepherd leading goes? Does new life ARP sheep to green pasin Christ make any tures and still wareal difference in anyters. In contrast, the thief has one’s life here and now? Jesus used “abundant” to no interest in the welfare of the describe this new life. He sheep, but only wishes to “steal said, “The thief comes only and kill and destroy,” abusing to steal and kill and destroy. I sheep for his own purposes. So what is the “abundant came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” (John life” that Jesus offers to those
who are His “sheep,” who hear His voice and follow Him? Abundance, or fullness of blessing, is found in the security Jesus offers those under His protection. Sin and Satan are very real enemies, and in every case, they will bring misery and destruction into our lives. Sin often leaves us burdened by guilt and insecurity. But in the abundance of God’s blessing of salvation, Jesus offers forgiveness, resulting in assurance of God’s love now and forever! This assurance of God’s love results in peace of conscience before God and man. However any of us have sinned against God or others, when we seek forgiveness and reconciliation with God, and even those
we have wronged, a remarkable blessing of peace fills our lives. This peace is a fruit, or result, of God’s continual presence with us. In fact, He has promised that in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control will be produced in our lives. Aren’t these the very things we constantly crave, desperately seeking them in relationships, behaviors, or even substances? Yet, they prove heartbreakingly elusive, and many of the ways we seek them become destructive. But they are offered to all who come to Jesus Christ in faith! This is what it means to have new, abundant life!

■ LIFESTYLES
Town and Country Garden Club January meeting held The Town and Country Garden Club met on January 10, 2019 at the home of Connie Marlowe. Cheryl Butler called the meeting to order by the eight members present, reading the Club Collect. A delicious meal of chicken pot pie, broccoli casserole, sweet potatoes and pie was served by our hostess. The business session began with Susan Gibson, treasurer, presenting a financial report. A memorial gift was given to First Presbyterian Church to honor our beloved club member, Lou Ballew. She loved her church and garden club. We shall miss her wealth of gardening knowledge and her officer installations. The minutes were presented by Glenda Crawford, secretary. A nominating committee was discussed. This will be decided at the February meeting. A work day for the Kings Mountain Post Office will be decided on according to
the weather. Connie Marlowe presented a very informative program on “Hydrangeas for Every Season.” Few plants are as nostalgic and desired as Hydrangeas. They are one of the most easily recognized flowering shrubs. The heights span from 1 to 10 feet, bloom from late spring through fall in shades of pink, blue, red and white and can be the highlight of our gardens. Pruning the plant correctly is one of the biggest challenges of growing Hydrangeas. Also, the time to prune is important. If pruned at the wrong time you risk cutting off next year’s flowers. The big leaf Hydrangeas bloom from early summer into fall. The soil type should be acid, rich. They should be consistently moist and well-drained. Plants are to be fed early spring and mid-summer with slow-release formula for acid flowers. Prune out dead wood in the spring. The big leaf Hydrangeas
grow from 1 to 6 feet tall and wide with huge showy blooms in shades of pink, red, purple, blue and white. If you want to change colors, test soil with a ph meter or kit and follow instructions. Flowers are bluer in acid soil and pinker in alkaline soil. White flowers won’t change color. Incorporate aluminum sulfate into the soil to make it more acid or add garden lime to make it more alkaline. Also coffee grounds will help with blue color and egg shells to change to pink color. Our zone is 7B – good for Hydrangeas. Panicle Hydrangeas bear oval to cone-shaped white flowers, that turn pink or red as they age. This is one of the hardiest and easiest Hydrangeas to grow. Prune in early spring, up to one third of total height. It blooms early summer into fall, soil type rich, slightly acid, feed once in early spring with slow-release formula made for acid loving plants. The Panicle Hydrageas grow from 2 to 10 feet tall and wide. See GARDEN, Page 7A

OUTDOOR TRUTHS By Gary Miller ller
Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ My friend just ended his deer season on January 30th in Alabama. On the last day of the month he bagged a nice eightGARY MILLER pointer on a piece of property that had gone untended and had always been relegated as his least favorite and most undesirable. This normally would not mean very much except for the fact he did the same thing the year before. The other leases had been given better treatment. He had spent time on them. He had planted food plots and managed the property to hold deer throughout the year. This property just looked more capable and promising than the other. And after all, since the lease on the neglected property was cheaper, it couldn’t be as good as the more expensive ones. Could it? With a two-year success rate, my friend is beginning to rethink the worth of that which seems unlikely. As I listened to his story, I was immediately reminded how this same scenario is played out in many different areas of our life. We simply overlook that which seems unlikely. When it comes to possessions, this may not be a big deal, but when it comes to people it is everything. Let me ask it plain and simple. Who are you overlooking because they seem too unlikely or too convenient? Whose work are you ignoring because it may not be in the forefront or exotic enough? Who have you bypassed in order to get to someone who has great references and resumes? Whose results have you ignored because those results did not come from a more polished business or ministry model? Who have you walked past in order to get to someone who lives in another city or country? I’ve noticed in the church world, we will send mission teams to another state, and a church in that state will send their team to us. Could it be we are overlooking the obvious for the ornamental? Could it be we have spent too much time and money on that which looks good and have neglected that which is the most productive? Maybe we need to do like my friend and rethink where we are spending our time and money. Maybe our most productive places and people are those that God puts us around every day. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

Every year, millions of consumers fall prey to scams. Some lose money immediately, while others become the victims of identity theft that can lead to years of problems. Fortunately, there are practical resolutions you can make to help keep your wallet and identity safe in 2019. Add these must-dos to your New Year's resolutions list. By taking just a few practical measures, you can help make the upcoming year fraud-free for you and your family. I resolve to be cautious with email. Be on guard if you receive unsolicited emails from a person or a company. Remember that scammers can make emails look like they are from a legitimate business, government agency, or reputable organization (even BBB!). Never click on links or open attachments in unsolicited emails. I resolve to never send money to strangers. If you haven't met a person faceto-face, don't send them money. This is especially true if the person asks you to wire money or trans-
fer funds using pre-paid debit cards. Money sent to strangers in this way is untraceable and once it is sent, there's no getting it back. Likewise, do not handle money or make transfers for people you have met online; they could be using you as a "money mule" to facilitate a crime. I resolve to do research before making online payments and purchases. When shopping online, or if you are asked to make a payment online, do your research before you send the funds. Ask yourself: Is this a person or business I know and trust? Do they have a working customer service number? Where is the company physically located? Would I be making payments through a secure server (https://....com)? Have I checked to see if others have complained? I resolve to use my best judgment when sharing my personal information. Sensitive personal information includes your banking and credit card information, your birthdate, your address, your phone number, and your Social Security /
Social Insurance number. Never share this information with someone who has contacted you unsolicited and be cautious about sharing it at all. I resolve to be social media smart. Make use of privacy settings on social media and only connect with people you really know. Be careful about including personal information in your profile and never post pictures of your home or ID cards that reveal your address and other sensitive information. Scammers may use this information to make themselves pass as a friend or relative and earn your trust. For More Information To learn more about scams, go to BBB. org/ScamTips. For more about avoiding scams, check out BBB.org/AvoidScams. If you've been targeted by this scam, help others avoid the same problem by reporting your experience at BBB.org/ScamTracker.

They bloom from early summer into fall, feed once in early spring for acid-loving plants, prune early spring to up to one-third of total height of 1 to 6 ft. tall and wide. One of the most reliable rebooking hydrangeas is the Tuff-Stuff Mountain. Expect pink and blue lacecap flowers, every summer. Plant full

The Jetstream Oakleaf Hydrangea is a beautiful selection of our Southeastern species that forms a dense mound of disease-resistant dark green foliage. It’s topped with tall panicles of white flowers that bloom old wood and age to rose-pink. It blooms from late spring to mid-summer. Plant in full sun to part shade. In Southern gardens, Hydrangeas should be planted where they will receive morning sun and afternoon shade. The February meeting will be with Florrie Hamrick.

Gathering around the hearth this winter? While a cozy, charming fire is the perfect place to relax, don’t take a vacation from practicing safety guidelines. Stay safe with the following checklist. Alarms, detectors-Check all of your home’s life-saving safety devices, including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms for functionality and to ensure batteries are still working. You should do this periodically, but it’s especially important during the holidays and other times when you use your fireplace. Fireplaces- Many decorating items and materials are combustible, so make sure yours are a safe distance from the fireplace. Conduct annual maintenance on your fireplace, chimney and associated elements. Outfit your gas fireplace with a safety
screens to prevent burns. Remember that the metal in safety screens can heat up, and your heating equipment — fireplaces, stoves, inserts and their surrounding material — will remain hot for some time after use. Candles- Lit candles add warmth and splendor to rooms, but they come with certain risks. Place these burning beauties in safe locations away from fabrics such as drapes and curtains, table centerpieces and other flammable objects. Place candles where they can’t be easily knocked over. Only burn candles in occupied rooms — if they are burning, never leave them unattended. If you have children, pets or an infirm person living with you, battery-operated, flameless candles or scented candle warmers make for safer alternatives that can offer you peace of mind.
Cold weather is here… things to keep your pet warm By Joann Hager Tri-County Animal Rescue During the winter season, many dogs feel the cold as much as their owners do, especially short haired dogs that are not used to being out in the cold. Keeping your dog warm through the winter months is important to maintaining top health, and it won't take you much extra effort to ensure winter coziness for your canine pal. Understand your breed's particular susceptibility. Some dog breeds are more prone to the cold than others, while some breeds adapt extremely well to the cold: Dogs that are great in the cold include Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies and Chow Chows. Dogs that find it harder include Dobermans, toy dogs, low hair or hairless dogs, and Greyhounds. Any shaven or excessively clipped dog will fall into this category as well because the thick winter coat is a dog's insulation. Provide appropriate shelter. It is optimal if your dog can remain indoors throughout winter, going outside for exercise and bathroom breaks only. This will ensure that your dog doesn't get cold while you're out or asleep. Young puppies should not be left outside as they don't have the ability of older dogs to keep themselves warm outside. If you have an outside dog, ensure that he has access to a shelter and bedding inside the shelter. Fresh straw and pine shavings provide a suitable layer of insulation against the cold of the ground for an out-
side shelter; be sure to change it regularly. An outdoor dog shelter should have a sloped roof, insulation and heating, especially for very cold climate locations. For rainy winters, ensure that the entrance way is protected so that rain cannot get into the shelter. Bring all outdoor dogs inside if the cold spell becomes exceptionally cold and long; even the barn is warmer than an outdoor dog shelter. Ensure that the bedding is warm and well placed. Bedding is an important part of keeping a dog warm through winter. If your dog sleeps on the ground or near drafts, place the bed up off the floor. A custom-made bed with cushioned insert, blankets, and old clothing make good, warm bedding. For old and arthritic dogs, consider using a heated dog bed. Clean and change bedding regularly to reduce fleas, germs, and mess. Use canine clothing options for particular dogs and situations. Canine clothing can help to keep your dog
warm through winter, especially for small or toy dogs, dogs without long hair, and old or sick dogs. One of the key signs of a cold dog is shivering, just like humans. Dog jackets, snuggies, and sweaters can be purchased or made (knit, sew, crochet, or quilt) for any sized dog. For wetter winters, you might like to attach a rainproof layer over the top but make sure that it is breathable. Take shorter walks when the weather is severely cold. Don't try to take your dog on the same length walks as during warmer weather. A shorter walk can still accomplish enough exercise and relief breaks without causing your dog (and you) to become too cold. Even if you are indoors, keep exercising. Play indoor games with your dog, such as fetch, tug-of-war, hiding toys, and if it's possible to let them run around inside, then do so. Run them up and down the stairs for agility practice. Keep in mind that if your dog has some joint or hip
problems they may not be able to run, so just let them walk up and down the stairs. Avoid overfeeding your dog. While it is important to eat regularly and well during colder months, in order to keep up energy and warmth, with an indoor dog there is no need to increase the food amounts. Doing so can risk creating an overweight dog. Be sure that your dog has constant access to clean, unfrozen water, indoors and outdoors. Heated bowls can be purchased for use outside. Keep winter-time toxic items away from dogs. Anti-freeze tastes unusually sweet to dogs and they will lick it if they can access it. If your dog does ingest it, see a vet immediately as treatment needs to be given within hours to save your dog's life. Another toxic problem during winter is rat bait, used in greater amounts due to everyone living in close proximity over winter. Keep all toxic items well out of the reach of dogs and other pets and clean up any spills immediately.

KM’s 2019 grid schedule features new opponents Burns Bulldogs here Aug. 23 for opener Kings Mountain High’s football schedule has been set for fall 2019 and will see the Mountaineers play one team that it has never played and another that it hasn’t played since 1960.
Because Burns is leaving the Big South 3A Conference for the 2A Southwestern Conference, the Mountaineers have been able to revamp their schedule and set an opening-season date with the Bulldogs on August 23 at John Gamble Stadium. The past two years of the current four-year alignment period, the Mountaineers had
an open date the first week of the season. Because of Burns’ switch, the KM open date will now fall on October 25. New teams on the schedule are Monroe and West Mecklenburg. Both of those games will be on the road. This will be the first meeting between the Mountaineers and Monroe. KM
and West Meck faced off six times from 1955-60. The Mountaineers won five of those games. All six were decided by a single touchdown. With the addition of those two teams, the Mountaineers will face a much tougher early-season schedule. Teams no longer on their schedule are South Caldwell and Cuthbertson.

Burns, West Lincoln come back to beat KMMS girls Kings Mountain Middle School’s girls basketball team dropped a pair of tough Tri-County Conference games last week. On Tuesday at home, the Lady Patriots fell to county rival Burns 28-27. Leading the way for KM were Khalia King with 11 points and Miracle Davis with eight. Others scoring were Tyasya Bell four and Austyn Dixon and Corey Simpson two each. Bell and Simpson stood out on defense. Kings Mountain grabbed the early lead and was on top 10-9 after one quarter, 14-13 at the half and 32-26 going into the fourth quarter. But the Lady Bulldog defense put a bite into the KM offensive attack, holding the Lady Patriots to just four points in the
fourth quarter while scoring seven to squeeze out the victory. Thursday at West Lincoln, the Lady Patriots had a similar outcome. This time they fell behind 11-4 at the first quarter break but led 16-15 at halftime and 28-25 heading into the fourth quarter. But West Lincoln came back for a 37-34 victory. King again led the scoring with 14 points. Katie Platt added six and Davis and Simpson four each. Others scoring were Dixon, Bell and Cheyenne Mullinax with two each. Playing well on defense were Platt and Davis. Kings Mountain travels to Shelby Wednesday and East Lincoln Thursday.
Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams hold a one-game lead heading into the stretch run of the Big South 3A Conference season. The Mountaineers were scheduled to end first round play last night at home against the Crest Chargers and will go to Stuart Cramer Friday night to begin second round play. North Gaston visits Parker Gym Tuesday night. Both KM teams face what could be their toughest competition on the road in the second half with big games against Ashbrook and Hunter Huss. Kings Mountain had only two games last week because of exams, one of them a sweep of Forestview and the other a split with non-conference foe East Lincoln. At Forestview Friday night, the Lady Mountaineers held onto their one-game lead over Ashbrook and North Gaston with a 48-41 victory over the Lady Jaguars and the Mountaineers took a 74-65 win. The victories gave both KM teams 6-0 conference records. Hannah Clark led the Lady Mountaineers with 17 points and seven assists. The rest of the scoring was spread out with six players getting between four and eight points. Saniya Wilson had eight, Treazure Hopper six and Sarah Drennan and Kennedy Barnes five each. Yasmaine Love led Forestview with 12 points. The JV Lady Mountain-
eers fell to Forestview 3221. Yasmaine Robinson led KM with 13 points. Nikkie Wells and Daraniah Chambers scored three each, and Monica Head two. KM played without starting guards Brooke Ferree and Treazure Hopper. In the JV boys game, KM won 45-23 to go 6-0 in the conference and 6-2 overall. Weston Hughes scored 15 points, Marcus Ldums 10 and Caleb Johnson eight. The varsity split a non-conference doubleheader Saturday at East Lincoln with the girls winning 65-57 and the boys losing 79-57. The KM girls jumped out to a 21-14 first quarter lead and never trailed. They were on top 45-25 at the half and 54-36 going into the fourth quarter. Clark was hot from all over the floor and led the KM ladies with 27 points. Sarah Drennan added 13. East Lincoln’s Briana Tadlock led all scorers with 30 points. The Mountaineers were without the services of starting point guards Kobe Paysour and Kaylon Wade, and saw the Mustangs lead from the gate. Led by Sidney Dollar and John Kuthan with 24 points apiece, the Mustangs blew the game open in the third period after leading by only 33-29 at halftime. Eli Paysour led the Mountaineers with 29 points and Zeke Littlejohn added 14.

those sitting around you, embarrasses your child’s school and is the major contributing reason North Carolina has is experiencing shortage of high school officials. It’s true. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Sports Officials, more than 75 percent of all high school officials say “adult behavior” is the primary reason they quit. And 80 percent of all young officials hang up their stripes after just two years of whistle blowing. Why? They don’t need your abuse. Plus, there’s a ripple effect. There are more officials over 60 than under 30 in many areas. And as older, experienced officials retire, there aren’t enough younger ones to replace them. If there are no officials, there are no games. The shortage of licensed high school officials is severe enough in some areas of
the country that athletic events are being postponed or cancelled—especially at the freshman and junior varsity levels. Research confirms that participation in high school sports and activities instills a sense of pride in school and community, teaches lifelong lessons like the value of teamwork and self-discipline and facilitates the physical and emotional development of those who participate. So, if the games go away because there aren’t enough men and women to officiate them, the loss will be infinitely greater than just an “L” on the scoreboard. It will be putting a dent in your community’s future.

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town. The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt.

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework. Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation. “I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.” During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society.

Four arrested at Jail-A-Thon On Saturday, three elected officials and one city employee were arrested on nefarious charges, placed in manacles, and hauled by paddywagon to the ‘Jail House' at Patriots Park during Mountaineer Days. The three elected officials arrested were Mayor Scott Neisler and Council members David Allen and Rodney Gordon. Each had to raise $200 bond within two hours. Due to rowdy behavior, Rodney Gordon had to raise additional bond money. Mayor Neisler implicated Karen Tucker who was subsequently arrested for "Impersonating the City Clerk." Tucker had to raise a $25.00 bond. All funds raised benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum's history education boxes that highlight local history in Kings Mountain schools.

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about. At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions. The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting. The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered suggestions.

Keystone Powdered Metals’ employees see PINK in Breast Cancer fight by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com

Community Revival
Both Terry L. Stutter, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Plant Manager, and Pam Crotts, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Human Resource Manager, take great pride in the fact their co-workers and staffs are seeing pink nowadays. They’re not alone. Their co-workers do too as was evidenced by what they did to honor those who fight the fight. So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month they and a number of their day and night shift employees donned pink tee-shirts to let all know
they’re a team when it comes to the fight to battle and hopefully find a cure for the disease. For plant manager Shutter it’s personal as his wife Donna is a breast cancer survivor. “My wife and I have been supporters of the Susan G. Komen Foundation for years,” said Shutter in a recent interview at the Keystone plant. “This is just another opportunity to come together and do this in out plant.” Crotts agreed, adding, “And we love the camaraderie due to the shirts.” Crotts, a Dallas native, has two kids and four grandchildren, said she was awed by

How to Fight Age Discrimination in the Workplace Dear Savvy Senior, How does one fight against workplace age discrimination, and where can I turn to for help if I think I’ve got a case? Discouraged Donna Dear Donna, Age discrimination can happen to anybody over age 40, but it’s difficult to prove. With that said, here are the steps you’ll need to take to fight this growing problem if you think you’ve been treated unlawfully in the workplace. ADEA Protection The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is your first defense against age discrimination. This is a federal law that says an employer cannot fire, refuse to hire, or treat you differently than other employees because of your age. Some examples of age discrimination include: • You were fired because your boss wanted to keep younger workers who are paid less. • You were turned down for a promotion, which went to someone younger hired from outside the company, because the boss says the company “needs new blood.”
• When company layoffs are announced, most of the persons laid off were older, while younger workers with less seniority and less on-the-job experience were kept on. • Before you were fired, your supervisor made age-related remarks about you. • You didn’t get hired because the employer wanted a younger-looking person to do the job. The ADEA protects all workers and job applicants age 40 and over who work for employers that have 20 or more employees – including federal, state and local governments as well as employment agencies and labor unions. If your workplace has fewer than 20 employees, you may still be protected under your state’s anti-age discrimination law. What to Do If you think you are a victim of employment age discrimination, you may first want to talk to, or file a grievance with your company’s human resources department, but it’s important to remember that HR work for your employer, not for you.
If that doesn’t resolve the problem, you should file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 300 days from the date of the alleged violation. In some states, it’s 180 days. You can do this by mail or in person at your nearest EEOC office (see EEOC.gov/field/index.cfm) or call 800669-4000. They will help you through the filing process and let you know if you should also file a charge with your state anti-discrimination agency.
al Employment Lawyers Association at NELA.org, or your state bar association at FindLegalHelp.org.
If you do file, be prepared to provide the names of potential witnesses, your notes about age-related comments and other episodes.
Another option you may want to consider is mediation, which is a fair and efficient way to help you resolve your employment disputes and reach an agreement. The EEOC offers mediation at no cost if your current or former employer agrees to participate. At mediation, you show up with your evidence, your employer presents theirs and the mediator makes a determination within a day or less.
Once the charge is filed, the EEOC will investigate your complaint and find either reasonable cause to believe that age discrimination has occurred, or no cause and no basis for a claim. After the investigation, the EEOC will then send you their findings along with a “notice-ofright-to-sue,” which gives you permission to file a lawsuit in a court of law. If you decide to sue, you’ll need to hire a lawyer who specializes in employee discharge suits. To find one, see the Nation-
If you lose your job in a group termination or layoff, you should consider joining forces with other colleagues. There are advantages to proceeding as a group, including sharing costs of the litigation and strengthening your negotiating position.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Cleveland County has been awarded a 2018 federal Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). The grant award is $15,000 and is matched in cash by the County for a total project budget of $25,000. The funds will be used to conduct a comprehensive architectural survey of historic buildings, structures, and sites across Cleveland County. The county has hired Landmark Preservation Associates, a Lexington, Va.-based cultural resources consulting firm, to complete the project. Dan Pezzoni, a principal of the firm, is the project manager. The project, scheduled for completion in August 2019, involves the documentation of approximately 200 resources built between 1945 and 1975. Mr. Pezzoni will be in Cleveland County for a public meeting introducing the project Wednesday, Jan. 23, 5:30 p.m. at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 1207 W. Dixon Boulevard, Shelby, N.C. Mr. Pezzoni will return to Cleveland County for fieldwork from March through June 2019 and will meet with representatives of the county as well as local historians and preservationists. In addition to conducting archival research, recording architectural features, and photographing each resource, Mr. Pezzoni will identify individual properties and historic districts that appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and thus potentially eligible for state and federal tax credits for certified historic rehabilitation. The project will culminate in a final report that analyzes the county’s mid- to late-twentieth-century history through the lens of its historic architecture. Cleveland County’s historic resources were first documented in the late 1990s, when architectural historian Brian Eades recorded historic buildings and structures dating up to the mid20th century. Responding to an increased public interest in mid-century architecture representing the post-World War II era, the county applied for grant funds from the HPO to expand on this earlier work. This project will build on the earlier architectural survey for a more complete understanding of the county’s architectural resources. At the conclusion of the project, Cleveland County will receive digital files of the documented properties as well as the final survey report. Public access to the information will be available through HPOWEB, the HPO’s geographic information system, which is accessible online at http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/. The survey material will assist environmental review work by local, state and federal agencies and will aid in planning for future economic and community development projects. The survey project is supported and facilitated by the county’s Planning Department, which is coordinating meetings of local citizens who can assist the consultant by sharing knowledge of Cleveland County’s history and historic properties. For more information on the architectural survey of Cleveland County, contact Annie McDonald, preservation specialist serving the 25-county western region for the State Historic Preservation Office (annie.mcdonald@ncdcr. gov or 828-296-7230, extension 223) or Chris Martin, senior planner for Cleveland County (chris. martin@clevelandcounty.com or 704.484.4979).

Baritone John R. Fulton III will be in concert Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. in Hamrick Hall’s Blanton Auditorium, located on the campus of Gardner-Webb University. Presented by the School of Performing Arts Distinguished Artist Series, the program is free and open to the public. Fulton has been a soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Or-
the Sydney Symphony. In the 2017 season, he made his operatic debut at the famous Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari, Italy. After his debut under the baton of Lorin Maazel as a part of the 2011 Castleton Festival—in which he sang the baritone arias of Gershwin’s masterpiece “Porgy and Bess”—he became a wellknown artist on the European scene. He recently joined the faculty at Hampton (Va.) University as an assistant professor of music and voice. Fulton has performed guest recitals at the Eastman School

WRESTLING From Page 4B
Construction on Dhollandia Building Begins A New Year brings new changes to Bessemer City! Construction has begun in the industrial park, South Ridge Business Park for Dhollandia MFG Inc. Dhollandia, a Belgium based company, initially planned on the site being 150,000 sq. ft., but now that size has been changed to 200,000 sq. ft. This site will be Dhollandia’s North American facility that will bring in 150-
200 jobs to Bessemer City. Dhollandia’s investment in Gaston County is projected to be more than $30 million, according to the Gaston Economic Development Commission. We are ecstatic to see the continuing progress of this amazing project! Visit us online to view additional construction footage and updates on the project at www.bessemercity.com!
&LW\ +DOO $QQH[ 8SGDWH The City of Bessemer City will officially open City Hall Annex this January 2019! The finance/customer service, planning/zoning, and code enforcement departments will now be housed in the former SunTrust bank building located at 125 E. Virginia Avenue. This new location features a drive-thru to assist customers paying utility bills. Please note the following City Hall Annex policies effective January 2019, City Hall Annex will close daily, Monday through Friday, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM to perform essential maintenance. Every customer that plans to utilize the drive-thru must have their printed bill in order to process payments efficiently. The City Hall Annex drive-thru will
only accept the following forms of payment: cash, check, money order, and Visa/MasterCard Credit Card. No debit cards will be accepted at the drive-thru. Customers seeking to use a debit card must come inside City Hall Annex. This new location will give citizens a better experience when visiting City offices. Please remember, the City Manager, City Clerk, Economic Development, and Human Resources Offices will still be located on the second floor of City Hall (132 W. Virginia Avenue). City Council Meetings will continue to take place on the second floor of City Hall. Stay tuned for additional updates and ribbon cutting information with these exciting changes!
