“They are made from love and laughs around the kitchen table, handwritten recipes on weathered scraps of paper, and the aroma of freshly made chips and salsa flowing through the entire neighborhood. When you dive into a bag of Chica’s Corn Chips, you are opening up a bag of history and authentic flavors.”

Today, Chica’s continues to be family operated.

NCDOT continues to pave Hwy. 216 through Kings Mountain. To date, the state road has been paved from Kings Mountain Blvd. to the Hwy. 74 bypass on Piedmont Avenue, with the exception of downtown.

“We’ll begin working on the Streetscape in downtown Kings Mountain in late March 2021 for completion scheduled

by September,” said City

Manager Marilyn Sellers.

“We are finalizing the Streetscape plan and presenting it to City Council at the end of this month.”

In downtown, water line updates need to be made in conjunction with the Streetscape project, so NCDOT skipped that portion of the work and will give the funds to the city for use when it comes time to pave Battleground Avenue.

NCDOT employees worked Saturday to pave N. Piedmont Avenue from the Arts Center to the Highway 74 bypass.

On November 9, Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office conducted a vehicle stop on Oak Grove Clover Hill Road.

During the stop, investigators located approximately 61.88 grams of methamphetamine and $9,253 in US Currency.

The driver, Shane Lewis Hamrick, 38 of Mooresville was charged with two counts of trafficking methamphetamine. Hamrick was placed in the Cleveland County Detention Center with no bond, due to violating the conditions of his probation.

Cleveland County Sheriff’s personnel were in the area of Oak Grove Clover Hill Road in an attempt to arrest Joshua David Burton, 30, of 124 Brackett Hill Road, Casar. Burton led deputies on a brief vehicle pursuit in that area a short time earlier.

SHANE HAMRICK Sheriff Alan Norman said, “These two related incidents just go to show a typical cycle of drug crime. Strungout thieves, like Joshua Burton, break into homes to steal for drug money, and drug dealers, like Shane Hamrick, from other counties, come into our county to sell drugs to the thieves. It is our continued mission, and one in which we have had success, to stop these criminals and put them in jail.”

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION Pieces of Kings Mountain History Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same –Ronald Reagan .

With COIVID-19 numbers increasing daily, the CDC adLORETTA vises us not COZART to gather for the traditional Thanksgiving meal, encouraging us to use online meetings or Facetime to share the holiday. But will people heed their advice?

Should we decide to forgo the traditional gathering, it doesn’t mean we can’t share time with family and friends celebrating the day. After all, we are only a phone call away from one another. Technologies like Facetime

and Zoom, even allow larger families to gather online.

Thanksgiving brings to mind some of the most precious memories with my parents, siblings, husband, children, family, and friends.

This year’s Thanksgiving will be different for me, though, because I lost a dear friend this year. I guess I am finally dealing with my grief because my thoughts keep taking me back to the fall of 1979. That was the year I spent Thanksgiving in Swannanoa with the McWhirter family.

Carl and Carolyn McWhirter invited me to spend Thanksgiving with

them at the farm where Carolyn grew up. I was excited to see the place I had heard about countless times. We piled into two vehicles and headed up the mountain toward Asheville.

The weather that November day was warmer than usual; we didn’t even need jackets. Arriving at the farm, Carolyn’s parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews greeted me with open arms. The family spilled out of the house onto the front porch and into the yard.

Carolyn’s mother cooked using a wood stove, and her home was neat and tidy. I had never seen someone cook on a wood stove,

gravel road and admired the leaves in their beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow. I can hear the sound of gravel underfoot still. As we walked along, she shared childhood stories with me. It was all very peaceful; just thinking about it takes me back to that moment in time. It is a precious memory.

Carolyn was a special person and helped me find my path in life.

She was an excellent teacher, mentor, and friend. By the time I reached high school, Carolyn had transitioned to a guidance counselor.

I think she did her best work in that role. I have no doubt her calling was

and I was intrigued. It reminded me of stories my mother told me of her childhood.

The Spivey farm was on the side of a mountain in Swannanoa. Just beyond its crest was the town of Fairview. I remember looking across the farm fence into Fairview and wondering how many times Carolyn had done the same, perhaps from the very spot where I stood.

I don’t remember the Thanksgiving meal, although I am sure it was delicious. I do remember being there with her family.

After dinner, Carolyn and I took a walk.

We strolled down the

to help others, and she accepted that calling without hesitation.

As I sit here writing, I think about that day and wish I could live it over again. I remember the time we shared and her kindness. Friends like her are rare.

All these years later, I remember the time I spent on Spivey’s mountain with a dear friend and her family at Thanksgiving. Forty-one years ago, I went from being a former student and became part of her family. It happened instantly; it was almost imperceptible. Yet, it happened. And I will carry the joy of that gift in my heart forever.

All I needed was the Light! Keep Thanksgiving; I suppose that really needed like many others them.

Instantly I remarked to myself, “All I needed was a light!” And it was like a lightning bolt come straight out of heaven, jolting me with the truth of that statement.

All I needed in my life many years ago was a light – but it was not just any light. A flashlight helped me find a pair of lost shoes, but the Light that shows us how to live each day is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the Light that brings us out of the darkness of sin and into the Light of His salvation. With Him we are no longer lost.

I am so very thankful for Jesus this year at Thanksgiving and throughout the year, especially this year of 2020.

Wishing a blessed Thanksgiving to all!

family and friends alive…

Joe Biden or Donald Trump will never visit me in my home, Glenn Mollette stand Guest Editorial beside me at the funeral home or dance at my wedding. I will not be receiving any calls from either of them to pray for me during sickness or to check on how my children are doing.

I probably will never sit in a room with them to visit, laugh, and tell funny stories, or just to hang out over a cup of coffee. I do not personally know either one. I welcome the opportunity to visit with either of them, but doubt it will happen.

I feel like I know them because I have seen them on television my entire life and heard them speak. I have been very emotional about them these last few months and felt very convicted about my vote. I have written words, spoken words and stood on the firing line for my candidate.

Most importantly, I voted. I have also received my share of emails, and real mail from people just as adamant about their candidate, often expressed in very colorful words.

Sadly, over the last few months, I have seen people who I have

known for many years, take as strong or stronger stance than I’ve taken. The distance between us has grown farther and the climate between us colder.

Acquaintances, lifefriends, school buddies and even family.

Both of our candidates have campaigned in their own, and different ways. The issues have been heatedly debated and argued.

As a nation, we have stressed ourselves to the max over these political candidates. And, while our vision for our nation has not changed, or our love and support for our preferred candidate has probably not dwindled, we must make a concerted effort to keep friends, family and the hopes and spirit of Thanksgiving alive.

As strongly as I feel about our nation and our leadership, I will not throw my friends and loved ones under the bus. My father was a Republican and my mother was a Democrat. They both voted and life went on. They were married for over 60 years. They did pretty well. They didn’t divorce over an election or politics. I do not remember them even arguing about an election.

This election was important to all of us, but I’m not going to stab my mother in the back or cut my father’s throat for Joe Biden or Donald

Trump.

By the same token, I have played sports with people all through school, sang in choirs, danced with friends, prayed and wept with people at hospitals and funerals, baptized thousands of young and old people alike. I’m not going to throw these people in the lake or smash somebody’s car.

I am not going to try to destroy somebody’s business or life for Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

Nor will I attend any Thanksgiving or other holiday meals refusing to be civil and gracious because of opposing political feelings and beliefs in the room. Why would any of us? For Joe Biden or Donald Trump?

I refuse to let this election kill Thanksgiving or any of the friendships and relationships that I share with real people in my life. Life, our friendships, our relationship with God and the personal work and service of being a good human being are most important to me.

Thanksgiving season is here. Life doesn’t always go our way, but we all have a lot to be thankful for this year.

Keep this good season alive with gratitude.

Most of all extend Thanksgiving to all others. If it’s not reciprocated, then it’s on them.

Keep Thanksgiving alive in your heart.

Saturday morning, grading equipment continued on the

Catawba Indian Nation’s property. Trees have been cleared from the property and extensive grading, along with retention ponds have been done.

Along Exit 5, all the trees were felled in preparation for

construction of the diverging diamond interchange that will replace the current bridge there. No start date has yet been set for that project.

According to the NCDOT website, a diverging diamond interchange allows free-flow-

ing turns when entering and exiting an interstate, eliminating the left turn against oncoming traffic and limiting the number of traffic signal phases. It is easy to navigate, eliminates last-minute lane changes, and provides better sight distance at turns, resulting in fewer crashes.

The design reduces congestion and better moves high volumes of traffic without the need to increase the number of lanes in an interchange.

In a national study, the design reduced crashes by an average of 37 percent after it was constructed at

26 interchanges across the United States. The design also reduced injury and fatal crashes by an average of 54 percent. (Source: 2019 article published in the Transportation Research Record, the journal for the Transportation Research Board)

Trees have been cut and the land is being cleared at Exit 5 on I-85 in preparation for reconfiguring the interchange to a diverging diamond. No start date for the building project has been set.

“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven…”

Over the past a reign to come couple of weeks, upon the earth.

I have drawn This reign will your attention to be the fulfillment the model prayer of prophecy. In Jesus gave to His Daniel 2:44 we disciples. read: “And in Previously, the days of these we examined kings shall the Pastor Ron Caulder “Our Father, God of heaven Eastside Baptist which art in set up a kingdom, heaven,” and which shall never “Hallowed be be destroyed: and Thy Name.” Following the kingdom shall not be these two statements is left to other people, but it “Thy kingdom come, Thy shall break in pieces and will be done, on earth as it consumes all these kingis in heaven.” doms, and it shall stand The kingdom Jesus is forever.” referring to is God’s kingIn Matthew 25:31 we dom… “Thy Kingdom.” read: “When the Son of Therefore, when we pray man shall come in his “Thy kingdom come” glory, and all the holy anwe are praying for God’s gels with him, then shall

he sit upon the throne of his glory.”

Our world today is consumed with sin and evil but some day all the earth will be restored to what it was before sin tainted the world. Some day the devil will be bound, and God will restore all creation, glorifying His Bride, the Church, and claim dominion over all the earth. So, when we pray “Thy kingdom come” we are praying that His righteous, absolute rule might be realized upon this earth.

While this phrase speaks prophetically, it should be our desire for God’s kingdom to be realized in our own lives in the here and now. This peti-

tion expresses a desire for God to be the enthroned within our hearts. Christians are already citizens of God’s kingdom who will reign with Him some day forever!

Now, let’s turn our thoughts toward “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This phrase is about resigning…resigning our will to the will of God. When Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was confronted with the demands of following the will of God. After agonizing in prayer as the cross loomed before Him He prayed “not My will, but Thy will be done.”

In our carnality, it is difficult sometimes to pray a prayer like this. We are so prone to “having it our way” or at least “wanting it our way.” We need to understand that our way is not always the best way.

We need to learn to trust in God and His direction for our lives. He knows what is best for us. It’s a matter of trusting in “our Father” Who loves and cares for us.

We are to pray for God’s will to be done here as it is in heaven. In heaven God’s will is carried out completely. It is done as God desires. It is done with joy and excitement. It is done with total devotion out of a love for

God. As we pray that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven, then we are praying that this world and our hearts will be brought into conformity to God’s will. We are yielding our all to “our Father.” Let us pray…

“Heavenl Father, help us to learn that we are to submit our lives to You and to pray for Your will to be done in our lives and in our world. Help us to relinquish our desires in order to embrace Your perfect will. We know that it is Your will that we become more like Jesus Who obediently followed His Father’s will. Amen.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. – Psalm 91:1-12

December 19 is Wreaths Across America Day

By Robin Meyer The 2020 Wreaths Across America theme is Be an American Worth Fighting For. The theme was inspired

by Staff Sgt. Daniel Strong and his keynote address during the 2018 escort to Arlington at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School in Fitchburg, Mass.

As an infantryman in the Marine Corps, he lost 18 Marines during his service.

Sgt. Strong's raw emotion was felt by all on that cold December day, as he spoke about his strong conviction to teach his JROTC students to exemplify, on a daily basis, the Wreaths Across America mission. “Be an American worth the sacrifice, in your daily operations, and in how

you deal with one another and how you live your life. Those young men and women who are in Arlington National Cemetery and other cemeteries, they earned the right for you to be an American worth fighting for.” We need you to be that kind of American now.”

This year’s Wreaths Across America Ceremony is fast approaching. Due to the global pandemic the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR chapter is far behind having enough wreaths for every Veteran buried at Mountain Rest Cemetery. If you know a Veteran buried at Mountain Rest and would like them to have a wreath this year please purchase one or more wreaths as soon as possible.

If you would rather pur-

chase by check, you can send your check made out to DAR to 209 South Roxford Road, Kings Mountain, NC 28086.

Include the name of the Veteran you are purchasing for and please have your check to us no later than November 20.

You may purchase online by going go to wreathsacrossamerica.org/nc0200P and purchase wreaths until the first of December. If you purchase online, please make sure to notify DAR via email with the name of the Veteran you wish to honor at ncdardoll@gmail.com. Wreaths can be purchased in memory or honor of anyone. Please help the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR chapter honor local Veterans this year.

Mountaineer Cross Country runners run the course at Kings Mountain in preparation for this week’s opening run.

High school sports get underway this week For the first time since early March, Kings Mountain High sports have resumed.

The KMHS cross country team hosted a meet yesterday and volleyball season gets underway this afternoon with the Lady Mountaineers hosting the Stuart Cramer Purple Storm.

For now, only 25 fans will be permitted at volleyball games and 100 at cross country meets.

In Kings Mountain’s case, the 25 volleyball fans will be parents until restrictions are lifted.

“All of us have been waiting for this day for eight months,” Commissioner Que Tucker, Commissioner of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, says.

“We are excited to once again be able to provide competitive learning opportunities for student athletes under the NCHSAA umbrella in North Carolina.”

Upon advisement from the Governor’s health advisors, DHHS and the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, the NCHSAA Board of Directors implemented a mask mandate for all individuals involved in indoor skill development activities as well as volleyball practice and contests.

“We believe this is a necessary and safe step to control the spread of

COVID-19 in our programs,” Tucker noted.

In-season sports are viewed differently than the sports that are in off-season, Tucker explained.

Sports other than volleyball and cross country may participate in skill development sessions only, but social distancing must be followed in those sessions, Tucker noted.

At this point, Tucker said no recommendations have been made to require the wearing of masks during basketball practice, which cannot begin officially until December 7.

Tucker pointed out that after two weeks of practice, several volleyball teams across in the state are in quarantine and will not start their season at this time. “With over 400 volleyball teams and nearly that number of cross country teams actively participating across the state at this time, we believe it is our responsibility to do all we can to keep this number as low as possible,” she said. “This mask mandate for all indoor skill development activities is the most effective way we currently have to mitigate the risk of infection, while allowing opportunities for athletic participation to continue.”

Kings Mountain Cross Country teams run the track at John Gamble Stadium to get ready for this week’s opeing run.

BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE CROSS COUNTRY SCHEDULE Nov. 17 – Crest and North Gaston at KMHS. Nov. 23 – Crest and Hunter Huss at KMHS. Dec. 1 – KMHS and Stuart Cramer at Forestview.

Dec. 8 – Big South Conference championship at Ashbrook.

Dec. 16 - Crest, Shelby and Burns at KMHS. Jan. 6 – KMHS, Crest and Burns at Shelby for Cleveland County championship* Jan. 16 – Western Regional championship at Boone Watauga or Morganton Freedom (Time TBA).

Jan. 23 – State championship meet at Ivey Redmon Park in Kernersville (Time TBA). *If this meet is snowed out, the Dec. 16 meet at KMHS will determine the CC championship.

(Regular season runs begin at 3:45 p.m.)

The Kings Mountain Middle School volleyball team kicked off its season Monday with an easy 3-0 win at Shelby, 25-3, 25-4, 25-7.

The match was centered around Kings Mountain’s aggressive scoring.

The Lady Patriots were led by Alexa Jones with

High schoolers asked House Speaker Tim Moore to take part in Ready, nominated for fourth term Set, App! competition and ties state record Governor Roy Cooper encourages high school students across North Carolina to sign up for the Ready, Set, App! Competition by November 30.

Teams of three to five students each will work together through the contest to develop a functional and original Android mobile app to solve a real-world problem in their school or community.

“Ready, Set, App! is an exciting opportunity for students to develop their technical skills while working together to solve a problem they’ve identified in their community,” Governor Cooper said.

“High schoolers have lots of creative ideas, energy and passion, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with.”

Ready, Set, App! is a continued collaborative effort between Lenovo and the North Carolina Business Committee for

Education (NCBCE), a business-led, education non-profit within the Governor’s Office. The second year of the competition launched in October and concludes in April. All ninth through twelfth grade public and charter school students in North Carolina are eligible and there is no cost to participate.

With more than 27,000 Information Technology jobs currently unfilled in North Carolina, Ready, Set, App! provides an opportunity for students to explore potential careers in computer science. The contest helps students develop and use three key skills: mobile application coding, teamwork and problem-solving.

“Lenovo is dedicated to advancing STEM education and increasing access to opportunity for diverse population,” said Libby Richards, North America community engagement manager at Lenovo. “The

Ready, Set, App! Competition’s focus on community problem solving provides students the opportunity to create real change, and to build valuable skills in coding and programming.”

The Ready, Set, App! program began in 2019.

The teams competed virtually and were provided student interns to assist with the app development process. Each member of the winning teams received prizes provided by Lenovo.

Winners of the first-ever Ready, Set, App! program were announced in June 2020 and included teams from Orange, Wake and Randolph counties. The winning teams designed apps to increase recycling, provide access to school supplies and educational opportunities and connect students with peer tutors.

To sign up for Ready, Set, App! or get more information, visit https:// readysetapp.devpost.com/.

When parents should expect extra credit grants On Sept. 4, Governor Roy Cooper signed into law the Coronavirus Relief Act 3.0, which was passed by the North Carolina General Assembly.

The law includes the Extra Credit Grant program to be administered by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.

On October 19, the NCDOR began mailing checks to individuals who automatically qualified through filing their 2019 State individual income tax return during Phase One. Due to the large volume, checks to most individuals who automatically qualified based on filing of their 2019 return were mailed over a 3-4 week period beginning October 19.

The NCDOR is currently processing applications for eligible individuals who were not required to file a 2019 state return and applied for the grant by the October 15 deadline under Phase Two. Payments to eligible individuals who completed the online or paper applications will be issued by check beginning in mid-tolate November through December 15. All checks must be issued before December 30 when the program expires.

According to the law, the purpose of the program is to use funds from the Coronavirus Relief Fund to help families with qualifying children in North Carolina by providing

economic support to assist with virtual schooling and child-care costs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The grant amount is $335.00 total for each eligible individual, even if the individual has two or more qualifying children.

All grant payments will be issued by check and mailed, with few exceptions, to the address listed on either your 2019 tax return or your application. If your address has changed, submit a change of address request. No grant payments will be made by direct deposit.

Most eligible individuals who filed a 2019 return before October 1, should have received their payment during Phase One.

The incoming state House Republican Majority nominated Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) by acclimation on Monday to a fourth term as presiding officer of the North Carolina House of Representatives, a span that would tie a state record for the number of legislative terms holding the position.

First elected to the General Assembly in 2002 from Cleveland County, Speaker Moore is entering his tenth term as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives.

The official election for Speaker is held among House members on opening day of the General Assembly's legislative session in January. House Republicans will hold at least a 69-51 majority in the in the 20212022 legislative biennium after gaining four seats this election cycle.

North Carolina became a national leader in education funding increases and business climate success under Speaker Moore's leadership in the state legislature since 2015.

Speaker Moore said Monday the state House will continue to focus on improving the economy and education systems as its top priorities, a Republican agenda that produced powerful results for North Carolina families and businesses.

"I am proud we kept our promises to North Carolin-

ians, that our record of results earned strong support from voters, and most of all that I can continue serving the people of Cleveland County who trust me to be their voice in this state legislature," Moore said Monday.

"Voters recognized that House Republicans protect taxpayers and implement effective reforms for their local communities, a shared commitment to successful leadership that helps us improve state government every day by listening to North Carolinians and committing to act on their concerns."

Despite a massive amount of out-of-state money supporting Democrats' efforts to take control of the state House of Representatives, Republicans won the popular vote for the chamber.

• The House Republican Majority also elected the

following leaders: • Speaker Pro Tempore - Rep. Sarah Stevens (R-Surry) • House Majority Leader - Rep. John Bell (R-Wayne) • Deputy Majority Leader - Rep. Brenden Jones (R-Columbus) • Conference Leader Rep. John Szoka (R-Cumberland) • Majority Whip - Rep. Jon Hardister (R-Guilford) • Joint Conference Leader - Rep. Pat Hurley (R-Randolph) House Republicans won six Democratic-held districts, regained seats in the state's largest counties of Mecklenburg and Wake, won key mountain and coastal seats by wide margins, and were victorious in critical suburban districts across North Carolina.

Automatic grant payments were mailed to the address listed on the 2019 return or an updated address provided through October 14.

The NCDOR cannot update addresses for Phase One payments.

Individuals must have reported at least one qualifying child on line 10a of Form D-400 of their 2019 tax return or amended return to automatically receive the payment.

Eligible individuals who filed a 2019 original return from October 1

through October 15, or a 2019 amended return, will receive their payment beginning in mid-to-late November through December 15.

The State of North Carolina has control measures in place to prevent fraud or to keep checks from being deposited twice. Deposit and check cashing processes and funds availability are up to individual financial institutions, check cashing businesses, or retailers that choose to cash checks. For example, mo-

bile banking deposits and mobile apps like Chime or Venmo may place a hold on the funds per the mobile deposit policy. Once the mobile deposit is initiated, other financial institutions and check cashing services cannot cash the check. Any issues or questions with the mobile deposit or mobile app should be referred to the specific financial institution or mobile app customer service and not the NCDOR.

How to Track Down Old Friends Online Dear Savvy Senior, I’m interested in tracking down some old friends I’ve lost touch with over the years but could use some help.

What websites can you recommend that can help me find them?

Tracking Tom Dear Tom, Thanks to the Internet, tracking down long-lost friends from many years ago is relatively easy to do and, in most cases, it won’t cost you a cent. Here are some tips and online tools to help you get started.

Remembering the Details Before you begin your search, a good first step is to jot down any information you can remember or find out about the people you’re trying to locate. Things like their full name (maiden and married), age or birth date, last known address or phone number, old e-mail address, names of family members, etc.

Knowing details can help you turn up clues while you search.

Social Media and Search Engines After you compile your information, a good place to start your search is at so-

cial media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. And search engines like Google and Yahoo.

When using search engines, type in the name of the person you’re searching for in quotation marks, for example, “John Smith.” You can narrow your search by adding other criteria like their nickname or middle name, the city or state they may live in, or even their occupation.

People Search Sites If your initial search comes up empty, you can also use people searches like AnyWho.com, Intelius.com or WhitePages.com. These sites will provide a list of potential matches from across the U.S.

however, sometimes provides home phone numbers for free.

Niche Finding Sites Here are a few other niche people-finding websites to help you with your search.

To look for old high school classmates, try Classmates.com. This site has contact information only for people who have registered with it. But even if your friend hasn’t registered, it could provide contact info for another classmate who remains in touch with your friend.

Because many people share the same name, these sites will also supply details to help identify the right person, perhaps including their age, prior hometowns, names of relatives, colleges attended or employer.

Another option is to check out your high school alumni website. Not every school has its own site, but some do, and you can look for it by going to any search engine and typing in the name of the school with the city and state it’s located in. You can also search at AlumniClass.com, a huge hosting site for thousands of high schools across the U.S.

While these sites are free to use at a basic level, they charge a small fee for providing certain details like the persons contact information. WhitePages,

If you’re looking for old college friends, look for an alumni directory on the school’s website. You might be able to access your friend’s contact

info by completing an online registration. Or, try calling or emailing your alumni relations department and ask them to pass on your contact info to your friend.

If you’re looking for someone you served with in the military, Military. com offers a free “Buddy Finder” service that has a database of more than 20 million records – visit Military. com/buddy-finder. You can also search for free at GIsearch.com, TogetherWeServed.com and VetFriends.com.

If you can’t find any current information about the person you’re searching for, it could be that he or she is dead.

To find out if that’s the case, use obituary databases such as Tributes.com and Legacy.com, which has a newspaper obituary search tool from hundreds of U.S. newspapers.

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.

Guess who’s coming to dinner

How to avoid hitting a deer

By Loretta Cozart October to December is deer mating season. With cooler temperatures and less forage, deer travel father to find food or a mate. For drivers, the likelihood of hitting a deer increases during this time of year. However, according to Erie Insurance, there are several steps you can take to decrease the odds.

You can find a variety of deer gadgets online, but hard evidence is lacking that proves a particular one actually deter deer.

Deer-vehicle collisions are the top animal-related claim in the U.S, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Here are some helpful tips on how to avoid hitting a deer… and how to handle things if you end up hitting one despite your best efforts.

• Know where the deer are likely to be. Areas with high deer populations are normally marked with a bright yellow sign. Deer also tend to graze in wooded areas or open fields. When driving your usual route to work, be attentive to areas where you’ve seen deer in the past – they are likely to cross there again.

• Be alert at sunrise and sunset. Deer are more active during dawn and dusk hours.

• Use your high beams.

When possible, use your

high beams for better visibility. The extra light will help make it easier to spot a deer, or other animals, lurking alongside the road.

• Don’t rely on deer gadgets. Whether it’s a deer whistle, deer fence or other type of product to scare away the deer… don’t rely solely on them to keep deer away.

Research isn’t exact on whether or not these products truly work. (Related: Fact or Fiction? Debunking 6 Common Myths About Deer) • When you see one… you’ll probably see more.

Deer travel in groups. If one comes across your path, proceed with caution in case there are more.

• Don’t swerve. Swerving isn’t always the safest option. Hitting a deer might often cause less damage than swerving to avoid it… and then hitting a more dangerous obstacle, like a vehicle in oncoming traffic. (Related: What’s Safer… Swerving or Staying the Course?)

• Wear your seat belt. If you do hit a deer, wearing a seat belt decreases your chances of injury.

• Spread the word. When friends or family head out on the road, let them know to be careful and alert. Even a simple reminder can help prevent deer collisions.

Taking the above precautions can help you avoid hitting a deer… but nothing

By Loretta Cozart

can entirely rule out the possibility. Here are steps you can take after you hit a deer.

• Pull over. Move your vehicle to a safe place off the road. Don’t forget to turn on your hazard lights.

• Stay away from the deer.

An injured deer can still lash out and hurt someone.

• Assess the damage.

When you’re out of harm’s way, examine your vehicle and take photographs of any damage to your car. Use good judgement to know if your car is safe to drive or if you’ll need to call for a tow truck. Learn how to add Emergency Roadside Service to your ERIE auto policy.

• Call for help. Depending on the circumstances, consider calling the police or an animal expert. While it’s not always required to file a police report, it can provide evidence if you decide to make an insurance claim. If

the deer is still in the middle of the road, a trained professional from animal control, the game commission or your local fish and wildlife service can move it away for everyone’s safety.

• Know if you should file an insurance claim. An insurance professional like an Erie Insurance agent can help you make the decision based on the specifics of your auto insurance policy. Talking with someone you already know and who is familiar with the claims process can help put your mind more at ease.

To verify if your specific insurance carrier covers you in deer-vehicle accident, check with your insurance agent. Most carriers cover those accidents under comprehensive coverage, but to be sure they do, give your contact your insurance agent.

The bigger challenge is that folks are just tired of modifying their behavior due to the virus.

Simply put, people are tired of dealing with Coronavirus when they need to be most vigilant.

Choosing to not visit grandma during Thanksgiving might just save her life. It is a difficult decision for any family to make. If you do decide to visit, keep visits short and remember the 3-Ws: wear a mask when you aren’t eating, keep a social distance, and wash your hands frequently.

Last month, Canada celebrated its Thanksgiving on October 12 and two weeks later they are experiencing their highest Coronavirus numbers to date. Remember, the number of Coronavirus cases we experience in month will depend on the decisions we make in the next two weeks.

If you must gather, the National Institutes of Health advise, “it’s important to remain vigilant, even when interacting with dear friends and loved ones. The greatest risk for spread of COVID-19 right now is these family gatherings.”

“Remember there are risks associated with travel and with interacting with people who’ve not been tested for the coronavirus prior to the event, especially if they reside in a COVID hot spot—which is almost everywhere these days.

Try to keep any family gatherings brief and relatively small, about five people or less. If the weather permits, hold the get-together outdoors.”

Coronavirus is on the rise across the country and Cleveland County is no different.

With Thanksgiving a week away and Christmas five weeks out, deciding to gather for the holidays could be a life or death decision for many, especially the elderly and those with health issues.

As of Sunday, there have been a total of 3,785 cases of COVID-19 in Cleveland County. On November 13, there were 18 new cases reported, 182 new cases were reported in the last 7 days, and 433 new cases were reported in the last 14 days. Currently there are 14 people hospitalized and a total of 95 COVID-related deaths in the county.

In Kings Mountain, there have been 1,031 cases of Coronavirus and 33 deaths. Grover has seen 164 cases and three deaths.

Saturday North Carolina reported its highest COVID19 numbers to date with 3,385 cases in one day. Nationally, more than 100,000 cases per day have been reported for 12 days, with a daily death toll of $1,000 people per day. As of Monday, 246,224 people have died of the virus during the pandemic in the US. Changing people’s habits can be difficult but asking people to not gather during the two most popular holidays of the year can be nearly impossible.

After all, who wants to give up turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie?

Gov. Cooper lowers indoor gathering limit to 10 Governor Roy Cooper announced last week that North Carolina’s indoor mass gathering limit will be lowered to 10 people in an effort to drive down North Carolina’s key COVID-19 metrics. Executive Order 176 went into effect on Friday, November 13 and will be in place through Friday, December 4.

“This reduction in our indoor gathering limit aims to slow the spread and bring down our numbers,” Governor Cooper said. “It also sends a serious signal to families, friends and neighbors across our state. Success in slowing the spread will help our businesses.”

As the weather gets colder, more people will be gathering indoors. Science has shown that indoor gatherings increase risk of transmission of COVID-19, and this Executive Order seeks to limit indoor gatherings that could rapidly and dangerously spread the virus.

Governor Cooper and NC DHHS Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen also underscored the need for people

to wear a mask anytime they gather with people outside of their immediate household. As the holiday season approaches, NCDHHS released health guidance to help people celebrate as safely as possible without spreading the virus.

“Let’s keep our friends, family, and loved ones safe this holiday season. If you are going to travel or get together, plan ahead to reduce the risk to your family and friends,” said NCDHHS Secretary Cohen. “Remember, it’s not how well you know someone when it comes to wearing a mask.

If they don’t live with you, get behind the mask.“ Dr. Cohen also provided an update on North Carolina’s data and trends.

Trajectory in COVIDLike Illness (CLI) Surveillance Over 14 Days- North Carolina’s syndromic surveillance trend for COVIDlike illness is decreasing but still elevated.

Trajectory of Confirmed Cases Over 14 Days- North Carolina’s trajectory of cases is increasing.

Trajectory in Percent of Tests Returning Positive Over 14 Days- North Carolina’s trajectory in percent of tests returning positive is level but above 5 percent.

Trajectory in Hospitalizations Over 14 Days- North Carolina’s trajectory of hospitalizations is level but high.

In addition to these metrics, the state continues building capacity to adequately respond to an increase in virus spread in testing, tracing and prevention.

Testing- Testing capacity is high.

Tracing Capability- The state is continuing to hire contact tracers to bolster the efforts of local health departments. There have been almost 350,000 downloads of the exposure notification app, SlowCOVIDNC. Personal Protective Equipment- North Carolina’s personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies are stable.

FAMILY FEATURES

T

he holiday season and all its celebrating often means full days of visiting family and friends, opening gifts and enjoying moments with loved ones, even if much of that interaction may take place virtually this year. With all the laughter and happiness, you’re bound to get hungry, and feeding the family throughout the day means you’ll need recipe ideas ready for the occasion.

Starting the big day with a bountiful breakfast helps begin the festivities on a high note, while appetizers help hold everyone over for the main course, sides and, of course, dessert. Consider these tasty dishes to take your holiday gatherings to new heights from morning to night.

9LVLW &XOLQDU\ QHW WR ÂżQG PRUH KROLGD\ meal ideas.

Centering your holiday meal around a turkey cooked to golden perfection is the ideal way to serve a feast. Without the right preparation and execution, however, your bird could fall short. To ensure your holiday dinner centerpiece lives up to expectations, follow these simple tips, from purchase to plate: 1. Buy the right bird. Finding a turkey that’s just the right size for your expected party is the start to a successful gathering. One

common rule of thumb is the buy 1 pound of turkey per person – so, for a 10-person meal, purchase a 10-pound turkey. Don’t forget that nearly everyone loves leftovers, so you may consider buying a few pounds more than necessary.

2. Be patient. If you opt for a frozen turkey, don’t rush the thawing process. For larger turkeys, it can take days to defrost properly.

3. Timing is everything. Finding the right amount of time for your turkey to spend

in the oven is crucial but not always the easiest thing to do. For an 8-12-pound bird, aim for 2.5-3.5 hours; 12-16 pounds for 3.5-4 hours; 16-20 pounds for 4-4.5 hours, and so on. The key is bringing the turkey to a temperature reading of 170 F. 4. Let it rest. Instead of pulling the turkey out of the oven and immediately carving it, give it a chance to rest for 20-30 minutes, which allows the juices to soak into the meat and moisten it up.

Shelby Sons of the American Legion Squadron 82 Chartered at special October 21 ceremony

by MICHAEL E. POWELL michael@cfmedia.info

The Commander of the Shelby chapter of the Sons of the American Legion’s Squadron 82, Dr. Jack Weller, said their group received their Charter Presentation at a ceremony held on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020.

Dr. Weller said, “There were about 80 people present from American Legion Post 82, Auxiliary 82, Legion Riders, and Sons of the American Legion, with state and national offers participating in the ceremony.”

Weller, an instructor who teaches Introduction to Business at Cleveland Community College on Tuesday and Thursday mornings continued.

“The Shelby Sons of the American Legion (SAL) Squadron #82 received its charter in a special ceremony from State SAL Commander Gene Bellando that Wednesday, at VFW Post 4066.

“Joining in the ceremony was National American Legion Commander Bill Oxford and State American Legion Commander James Moore, who participated in the Charter presentation ceremony.”

Dr. Weller noted how National Commander Oxford shared how Legion Posts are growing by involving more young people through the SAL program.

“All four units that make up the American Legion Family in Shelby were honored with Unit Ribbons,” said Weller. The Legion Riders, the Auxiliary, American Legion Post, and SAL officers, all received the ribbons from National Commander Bill Oxford and State Commander James Moore.

“Gene Bellando, State SAL Commander, shared in his remarks that Squadron 82 was the sixty-sixth Squadron in the state and the first in several years. There are over 2,450 SAL members across the state.”

As a bit of background and history, Weller said in July 2019, American Legion Warren F. Hoyle Post #82 passed a resolution to sponsor a Sons of the American Legion Squadron. Under the direction of Post Commander Jim Quinlan and Past Post Commander Jim Holland, potential members were recruited to join the Squadron as charter members. Dr. Jack Weller agreed to be the Squadron Commander and worked with the Legionnaires to obtain 25 members to charter a squadron.

Weller continued with the mini-history lesson.

“Squadron 82 signed the charter application on Nov. 11, 2019, the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day in World War I. The Squadron has met monthly on the second Thursday of the month at Post 82 on South Lafayette St., in Shelby.

“During the COVID restrictions, the group met using Zoom and still offer that option to members who wish to self-quarantine. Its membership has grown from the original 25 members to 47 members, and their goal is 60 members by June 2021.

“The first meeting of the Squadron was on Jan. 27, 2020, with 16 of the 25 charter members present. Those not in attendance were sons of Legionnaires who wanted them to be part of the charter class. The sons live in Alaska, Canada, and other parts of North Carolina. The Squadron’s youngest member is almost a year old, and the Squadron believes it has one of the youngest officers serving the SALs in Cy Cook, who is 10, and is the Sergeant-at-Arms, which is the same office his grandfather, David Rose, holds in Post 82.

“The Squadron is honored to have as members State Senator Ted Alexander, City of Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony, and Shelby City Council member David Causby.

“The Squadron hit the ground running by coordinating efforts with the American Legion Family to identify and decorate over 1,100 veteran’s graves on Memorial Day at Sunset and Webb cemeteries, located in Shelby, NC.” Weller continued, “On Flag Day, the Squadron participated in the American Legion Post 82 Flag Retirement Ceremony. The Squadron also coordinated a Patriot’s Day program in September 2020 involving emergency first responders, veterans, and firefighters.

“Also, each month the Squadron focuses on community service projects to help others in need. In October, the Squadron and the American Legion family raised over $900 and donated over 200 cans of food to the Church of the Redeemer Shepherd’s Table Food Ministry.

“In November, the SAL hosted a Hot Dog Lunch for veterans after the Veteran’s Day Ceremony on Cleveland County Court Square.”

Dr. Weller took a moment and reflected on how he got involved in the SALs. “My Dad was in the Navy during WW II. He was Radarman, Third Class, onboard the USS Starr,” he said. “I am one of six kids – number four in the batting order – and I remember how whenever an organization needed somebody to help, my Dad would volunteer. He was president of the PTA, coached our Little League baseball team, sang in the church choir, and volunteered with the Chamber of Commerce. He taught me the importance of giving back and helping those who need a helping hand.

“My wife will tell you I cannot say ‘no’ to a worthy cause. At each meeting, as

we go through the opening ceremony, we are reminded of why SAL exists – to honor our Dads. I know he is looking down from heaven and giving me a thumbs up for helping to start this SAL Squadron.”

As per the presentation ceremony booklet, the original 25 members and officers are as follows: Charter Officers – Dr. William “Jack” Weller (Commander); Elwood “Woody” Weaver (First Vice Commander); Craig Ferree (Second Vice Commander); James R. Quinlan (Adjutant); Art R. Gordon (Finance Officer/Adjutant); Roger S. Cox (Chaplain); Zack T. Parker (Historian);

and Cy J. Cook (Sergeant-atArms).

Other Charter Members are: W. Ted Alexander, II; Dale F. Bridges; David Causby; Ronald O. Dobbins; Cory Ferree; Jeff A. Fitzgerald; Ethan B. Gordon; Tanner D. Heagen; Chris D. Holland; James D. Holland; Tucker McIntyre; Kevin T. Moss; Austen Mullinax; Samuel I. Parker; Andrew S. Price; Carl L. Sims; and Jason Thomas.

At this same ceremony, Weller said the Shelby Units received their American Legion Family Ribbons as National Commander Oxford recognized Post 82’s four units of the American Legion Fam-

ily.

Said Dr. Weller, “A Unit Ribbon was presented to Riders Director Keith Elledge, myself (as the SAL Commander), Past Post Commander Jim Quinlan, and Past Auxiliary Unit 82 President Linda Quinlan.

Dr. Weller noted each member of Sons of the American Legion Squadron #82 also received a commemorative coin to remember the Charter Presentation Ceremony.

The coin was designed by former commander Jim Quinlan, and has the SAL logo on the front and North Carolina State Flower (Dogwood) and Bird (Cardinal) on the back.

Said Dr. Weller, “There is

a military tradition to give military coins as gifts of honor, respect, gratitude, and loyalty.

The origin of these coin gifts is unknown, but legends are dating back to World War I.” He noted if a member of the SALs was not present at the ceremony, please contact him (Commander Weller) at (704) 473-5282, or (704) 484-2898 to receive your coin.

Weller concluded by saying, “If you are interested in being part of SAL Squadron 82, you can either call him, or go to their Facebook Page and send a message, or contact him at wsweller@aol.com.
