YMCA volunteers build playground By Loretta Cozart More than 25 volunteers participated in the YMCA Togetherhood 2018 project on Saturday Nov 3 and Thursday November 8, 2018. The Kings Mountain Family YMCA’s Togetherhood program connects people from all backgrounds to plan and carry out volunteer projects that address a need in the community. This project benefited the Kings Mountain Nazarene Church, giving youth an outdoor play area. Togetherhood leverages the YMCA’s charitable mission to unlock people’s potential to improve lives and create a more connected society. Sandie Dee, YMCA
Board Member and Togetherhood Chairperson said "Being a part of the YMCA's Togetherhood is something I look forward to each year. This year we met a great group of people from the Kings Mountain Church of the Nazarene. We are so happy to be able to give their youth a place to play outside at their church...thanks to all of us working together we made this happen!" Del Ford, Pastor of KM Nazarene Church said, “This being my first project, new to the area, and Youth pastor of Kings Mountain Nazarene Church, working with Togetherhood has been a wonderful experience. Not just because of our Church being the recipient of the
project but by the way it drew all of us together toward one common focus, ‘Working together for a better community.’ “Our Lives become so busy that we often forget what an impact this can be on a need. Small things become big successes one Heart and Hand at a time. We are so grateful for everyone that participated and all the sponsors that donated their time and materials to make this playground come to reality. My hope Is that in the future we can all come together even more and make Kings Mountain shine as an example of what true community is supposed to be, the heartbeat of who we should truly are.” See YMCA, Page 3A

Nurse Berry serves patients 42 years Special to the Herald from Atrium Health The recent name change to Atrium Health Kings Mountain occurred some 67 years after the hospital first opened in 1951. And Beverly Berry, a progressive care nurse, has been serving patients in that facility for two thirds of that time. Berry started as a fresh-outof-nursing-school grad from Beverly Berry Gaston College in 1975 (a year when Gerald Ford was president). And she has enjoyed all her specialties since then, including surgery and intensive care, before her current assignment. “Beverly’s tenure would be exceptional in any profession,” says hospital administrator Alex Bell, “especially so given the profound changes she’s seen in healthcare over the last four decades.” Atrium Health Kings Mountain currently has 67 licensed

beds. Bell points out that it is difficult in today’s world for community hospitals that small, situated in rural areas, to survive financially. He attributes the hospital’s continued success to its longstanding partnership with its sister hospital in Shelby, Atrium Health Cleveland, and the Atrium Health system itself. That partnership dates back to 1994, when Kings Mountain Hospital signed its first management services agreement with Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS). Bell himself has a lengthy tenure with Atrium Health, having started out as an administrator at Carolinas Medical Center in 1993. He says the various administrative transitions at Kings Mountain – from a CHS management agreement, to a lease agreement, to full ownership – were all positive and all relatively seamless. “We had a 20-year partnership before we finally got married to CHS,” Bell says, “so the benefits of full integration were clearly understood.” Bell doesn’t hesitate to name the biggest change he’s observed during a lengthy career in Kings Mountain: the impact of technology. “Even though we’re a small hospital,” he says, “we can serve patients in a way that combines the best of two worlds. The quality of individual care is extraordinary, because the See BERRY, Page 7A

Research shows that volunteers experience wellness benefits, including lower depression, improved mood and self-esteem, less stress, better heart health and lower mortality rates. A culture of volunteerism can also yield social benefits such as lower unemployment, greater income equality, and youth that are more likely to stay in school and avoid risky behaviors.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share. W. Clement Stone
A cause for Thanksgiving By Loretta Cozart The Oxford Dictionary defines serendipLORETTA itous as, COZART “Occurring or discovered by chance in a happy or beneficial way.” A few weeks ago, a serendipitous occurrence resulted in an excellent thing for the Boys & Girls Club of Cleveland County. Long-time friends of mine in Charlotte know I have a lot of contacts, so they called asking if I knew any group in need of a pool table. They are downsizing, and they didn’t need the table anymore. Instead of letting it gather dust in
storage, they decided to donate it to a charity. So, I did what I usually do and called Scott Neisler to help identify a charity. He immediately suggested the Boys & Girls Club of Cleveland County and offered to get the two parties together. The Boys and Girls Club has a new facility in Shelby, and their old pool table had seen better days. So, they were a perfect match. My friend once volunteered on the board of the Mecklenburg County Boys and Girls Clubs years ago, and he said he couldn’t have chosen a better match. The Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland County serves 160 children, and this gift will give their young people an opportu-

nity to interact and thrive in a safe environment. On Wednesday, I was told the pool table had been picked up and was on its way to Cleveland County. When the table is setup, the friends will make the trip to Shelby to visit with the boys and girls who will enjoy it for years to come. During this Thanksgiving season, it is rewarding to be a part of small part of this kind act. It warms the heart and restores my faith in humanity. I am neither the giver or the receiver. I am a catalyst, as is Mayor Neisler. It is a humbling thing even to be a small part of it and is a great way to begin the holiday season.

Every American should have the option of choosing their doctor and place of medical care. Some people are not as fortunate. I have several friends who could not beat cancer and passed on this year. Often times the symptoms was already an indication that things were already too late for them to treat their condition. As a word of caution I want to strongly say that simply waiting to see what your condition does often ends up being an emergency down the road. If you have an early warning then trying to move forward to aggressively eliminate the problem or treat it is the only way to have a chance of winning. Of course, we are talking about our human bodies and there will always be something to repair or deal with concerning our health. We go from one thing to another if we are blessed to live long enough. Thus, this Thanksgiving I am thankful - very thankful.
The next UNC president Who will succeed Margaret Spellings as president of the UNC System? That is what folks in the university community are asking these days. The next question is, Can anybody be persuaded to take that position after how the system’s board of DG MARTIN governors has treated the last two presidents, Tom Ross and Spellings? Truth is, the UNC System job even with its governance problems, could be an attractive challenge for ambitious university leaders across the country. But before beginning a worldwide search for a miracle-promising leader from the outside, the board may decide that someone with experience in North Carolina higher education matters would be a better choice. If they go in that direction, there are a couple of obvious attractive options. For instance, N.C. State Chancellor Randy Woodson. Before coming to State, he was a top official at Purdue University. As a plant molecular biologist specializing in reproductive processes in agricultural crops, he has credibility with academia. At State, he leads successfully the system’s largest university, with more than 34,000 students and a $1.5 billion budget, and, arguably, our most complex and difficult-to-manage university. Keeping a focus on service to the state, Woodson has built not only a good record, but also a wide circle of admirers. There is a problem. Why would Woodson give up State’s wide-open opportunities for service to jump into the lions’ den of members of the board of governors? Another chancellor option is Harold Martin, who leads North Carolina Agricultur-

al and Technical State University, which he has helped shape into the largest and one of the most admired historically black colleges and universities. When Erskine Bowles was system president, he recruited Martin to serve as the system’s senior vice president for academic affairs. Because Bowles gave him such important and wide responsibilities, he would not need an orientation course before taking over the top job. In addition to these good choices there are a couple who are not so obvious: Fred Eshelman is a wealthy Wilmington business leader who founded a global contract research organization that had 13,000 employees when he sold it in 2011. He is best known for his support of the School of Pharmacy at UNC-Chapel Hill, giving or pledging more than $100 million. Conservative politically, he nevertheless is a strong advocate for public higher education. While serving on the board of governors, he teamed with then President Ross to develop long-range plans to strengthen and expand the system’s role and effectiveness. Nido Qubein has been the president of High Point University since January 2005. An immigrant with a Lebanese-Jordanian background, he is a walking-talking American success story. An author, business leader, motivational speaker, full of vision and drive, he was, nevertheless, not an obvious candidate to be High Point’s president. However, his unrelenting drive has pushed the university through an amazing transformation. Although his leadership has not been without controversy, it is hard to argue with those results. That results-oriented approach might be something both the board of governors and the university communities would welcome.

While they ers and they will come to may not have been physilife as if I had experienced cally present, the stories them firsthand. Because of deliverance were still
theirs to claim. That was their family and those were their people. As we reflect on the 136 Psalm and on God’s deliverance, those are our stories too. In 2 Corinthians 9:15, the Apostle Paul writes that we are to be thankful for God’s indescribable gift. That gift is Jesus Christ, and His shed blood which provides freedom from sin. Even though you and I can struggle to comprehend and sometimes we cannot find adequate words to describe what God has done for us—we can tell the story of how we were brought out of a situation that would have surely destroyed us had it not been for God’s enduring love
that set us free. I have never seen an ocean part so people could walk through on dry ground, nor have I ever experienced surviving in a wilderness on food that God provided every morning. Nevertheless, those stories in Psalm 136 are my stories. You may wonder why Jesus would die for someone like you, and while it is indescribable, it is your story. Our stories of deliverance are something that we should be thankful for and are important to share with others. Sharing our deliverance stories this Thanksgiving is a tremendous gift, for we never know who may be ready to make that his or her story as well.

ALA President Pat Lemmon with Tar Heel Girl’s State delegate Baylee Marr. Photo by Loretta Cozart
Marr speaks at November Legion Auxiliary meeting By Loretta Cozart Baylee Marr was honored at the American Legion Auxiliary's November meeting last Thursday evening. Marr spoke about her experience as a delegate to Tar Heel Girl's State, held at Catawba College last June. "First of all, I'd like to thank the Auxiliary for sending me to Tar Heel Girl's State," Marr said. "I had a wonderful time and made lifelong friendships with some of the other girls. It was a fantastic experience." But Marr wasn't so sure she wanted to attend that early June morning when she and her mother drove to Salisbury. "As we drove there, I got more and more nervous. I told my mom, ‘I'm not sure I can do this,'" she confessed. "The organizers room you with another delegate with differing opinions, and I was afraid we just wouldn't get along." It didn't help that the mother and daughter arrived at Catawba College hours
before her roommate. "We got there very early, and eventually mom needed to leave. I begged her to stay a little longer." In the end, she and her roommate got along just fine, and Marr's fears were relieved. The girls stayed in dorms on campus and ate in the dining hall. Attendees were assigned to different cities and went about the business of forming governments. Marr was elected Mayor of Yellow City and worked with her constituents at both the local and state levels. "Since I love politics, I loved the whole experience. I ran for every office and ultimately gave up my Mayor's job to take a position at the state level. That was a difficult decision to make," she said. By the middle of the week, Marr declined phone calls from her mother because she was so busy. "I texted her to let her know I was fine, but we had so much going on I couldn't talk." Mother Lisa Marr shared,
Classic Sweet Potatoes 4 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and thick sliced 3/4 cup brown sugar 5 Tablespoons butter 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1-1/2 cups mini-marshmallows 1 cup pecans, chopped Arrange potatoes in 9x13 inch greased glass dish. Combine sugar, butter and spices and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour over potatoes. Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. Top with nuts and marshmallows. Bake 5 minutes more.
Pecan Pie
1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter 3 eggs, beaten 1 cup pancake syrup (do not use lite!) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 9” unbaked pie shell 1 cup chopped pecans
"When I got Baylee’s text, I knew she was fine and I didn't need to worry anymore. On our drive back home on Saturday, it was a quiet ride. Baylee fell asleep the entire time; she was exhausted." During the week, Marr learned there is much more to Tar Heel Girl's State than politics. "I developed good friendships with many of the girls. We are very tight and now text each other daily. We've even planned a meeting in Raleigh at Christmastime. I can't wait to see them," she said. Last week Baylee Marr signed with Tusculum University in Tennessee to play soccer in the Fall of 2019. Will the drive to college be easier than the one for Tar Heel Girl's State? It is doubtful. But mother and daughter can take comfort knowing that Baylee overcame her fear and thrived during this experience, allowing her to face future challenges with confidence.

If we have to do it one dealer at a time, that is what we will do. For those who think drug trafficking is a victimless crime, about 80% of all crime in this county has some connection to the drug trade. The family devastation we see from drug addiction, especially methamphetamine, heroin, and prescription drug diversion, drives us to put an end to these brokers of human misery. Our citizens can help us succeed by calling 704-484-4987, and providing information on drug dealers in their neighborhoods. So much good information comes each week from the many citizens who make that call.”

BERRY From Page 1A staff and patients all know one another. And they know that on a given day they might end up treating a personal friend or family member. “Also, our connection with Atrium Health enables us to address a broad mix of complex medical problems on site, through telemedicine, and refer people out quickly if they need hands-on care at a more specialized facility.” Bell highlights specifically the benefits of virtual cardiology, virtual intensive care and virtual behavioral health. Also, in emergency situations when timing is critical, such as heart attacks, patients can reach Charlotte by helicopter in 45 minutes or less. “I can honestly say that each major transition along our journey has been accompanied by tangible and lasting enhancements in patient services and better opportu-
nities for staff growth and advancement.” Berry also endorses the benefits of being connected to a larger system, and says the biggest changes she has seen over time are the safety improvements associated with technology. “In the old days,” she remembers, “we’d admit a patient based on a one-page paper form with maybe 10 simple questions. Now, the screening procedures are so much more sophisticated and carefully thought out that there is no comparison.” And how does she feel about her unusually long tenure, 40-plus years, at a single facility? “Well,” she responds, “they say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I wouldn’t know, because I’ve never been on the other side of the fence. But it’s certainly been rewarding to be able to look after the people living in my own hometown. For me, working here has always been a calling, not just a paycheck.”

to the surrounding populous. Out of an abundance of caution, our personnel notified the staff of both the school and daycare. With this particular type of manufacturing method, the danger is to people immediately inside the residence from both chemical inhalation and fire. This matter remains under investigation, with the likelihood of additional charges yet to come. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Clandestine Laboratory Response Team is assisting in the investigation and decontamination process. This is only the second methamphetamine lab discovered in Cleveland County in 2018. Most methamphetamine is brought into Cleveland County through Atlanta, after it is manufactured very cheaply in Mexico. Additionally, our deputies and investigators are well-trained in identifying laboratories
during the course of their work. As a result, there has been a tremendous drop in the number of labs in this county over the past several years. Whether it involves the Mexican drug cartels, or the local “Mom & Pop”-type operations, we have a proven record of successfully investigating narcotics crimes. When drug addicts become amateur chemists, working with highly volatile chemicals, to support their habit, they need to know we are going to find them and put them in jail for as long as we possibly can. Approximately a dozen of our investigators have been certified as Clandestine Laboratory investigators, and additional awareness training is provided to all of our deputies. This incident reinforces how important that training is for our agency and the citizens it serves.

With the help of Cormetech’s generous donation and the support of Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry, Feed the Children can help feed those in need in North Carolina communities. “A big thanks to the City of Kings Mountain, and Cormetech for funding the event,” said Lisa Harrison, Executive Director of Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry. “Our community and other surrounding areas in Cleveland County were labeled as a “Food Desert” by the US Department of Agriculture. This event with Feed the Children will go a long way in helping many families have a very Merry Christmas!” This is one of many events Feed the Children has planned across the country to help defeat hunger. Feed the Children is committed to helping children and families across the U.S. and around the world. “We are blown away by the generosity of this gift Cormetech is giving again to our community,” said Scott Neisler, Mayor of Kings Mountain. “They have shown us that they are great corporate citizens that care for our community.” “Last year, we had food boxes left over after our event and Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry continued to give those away for several months. While we would love to give all away during the event, it was good we were able to help others who had a need after the holiday season,” the Mayor said. CORMETECH was formed in 1989 from the equity ownership of MHI and Corning. CORMETECH is the industry’s leading environmental catalyst manufacturer and full life cycle catalyst manage-
PRESIDENT From Page 4A Given the strengths of the four people and other North Carolinians, the board’s best choice still may be the one it has already chosen as interim president, UNC Health Care CEO and dean of the UNC School of Medicine, Bill Roper. His conservative Republican background in
leadership positions in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush give him credibility with the Republican dominated legislature and board of governors. His long term and successful experience as an academic and administrative leader give hope to the university community that he will be a credible and persuasive advocate for them as interim president, and longer, should the board remove the interim word from his title.

Mountaineers at Statesville Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers face a big – with the emphasis on big - test Friday night when they travel to Statesville to face the North Piedmont Conference champions in the second round of the state 3A playoffs. The Greyhounds have great size at every position. “Statesville will be the biggest team we’ve played,” noted Coach Greg Lloyd of the Mountaineers. “They have good size on both lines and they have a good runpass offense. They mix it up very well.” Statesville is a traditional power in North Carolina prep football, and is a lot like Kings Mountain with a good running and passing game and hard-hitting defense. “They mix it up very
well,” noted Coach Lloyd. “They spread it out but they also run a two-back system some. They have excellent speed.” Lloyd said the Mountaineers will have to play their best in all phases of the game. “Their defense is giving up only eight points a game,” he noted. “They have one of the best defenses we’ve seen. They run a 4-4 basically. They have big defensive lineman and a big middle linebacker. They will present a lot of problems. We’ll have to work for everything we get.” The Greyhounds have a good mix of experienced seniors up front, and very good sophmores and juniors at many of the skill positions.
Their offense is well-balanced with 6-3, 205-pound sophomore Nabanye Moore at quarterback, and they have three excellent running backs in senior Dorreco Davis (5-8, 180), sophomore Chavion Smith (5-9, 195) and junior Caylon Imes (510, 170). Moore is a high percentage passer, having connected on 128 of 215 throws for 1,739 yards. Davis, Smith and Imes have combined for over 2,300 yards rushing with Smith leading the way with 834. Most of their linemen on offense and defense are in the 250-330 range. “The key for us will be to try to find something that works offensively,” Lloyd said. “We will mix it up. We’ll run and pass and try to
keep them off balance. “Defensively we will have to tackle in space because they have a lot of speed. We’ll have to put pressure on the quarterback,
Special teams play will go a long way in deciding who wins.” Kings Mountain should go in at full strength. Lloyd said it will be important to
not have turnovers as the Mountaineers will be playing on another bad field that also was heavily damaged by last week’s rain.

Great team effort on a soggy field lifts Mountaineers over West Rowan On a soggy field following three days of rain, Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers put together perhaps their most balanced attack of the season Friday night at Gamble Stadium when they defeated the West Rowan Falcons 34-0 in the opening round of the state 3-A playoffs. The Mountaineers’ 1-2 punch of running back Ricaylen Mack (21 carries for 132 yards) and quarterback Kaylon Wade (12 carries for 129) accounted for 261 of KM’s 283 yards rushing, and Wade also hit 6-of-8 passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns to eclipse yet another all-time Mountaineer record. Those numbers made him the first player in the 96-year history of KM football to top 7,000 yards in total offense. He goes into Friday’s playoff game at Statesville with 7,035 yards, including 5,773 passing and 1,262 rushing. It was the defensive play of the game – and maybe even of the year – that probably put the game away as West Rowan was driving for a potential TD that would cut into an early 13-0 Mountaineer lead. Senior defensive back James Ussery intercepted a pass at the goal line and returned it 89 yards to the WR 11yard line to set up an eightyard TD pass from Wade to Quintin Davidson that put KM up 20-0 at the half. A great defensive effort
in the second half on West Rowan’s star running back Jaden Perry sealed the deal. The visitors were limited to just four second half possessions with two of them being three-and-out. A great defensive effort by Day Day Wilson, Javari Rice-Wilson, Jeremiah Brown, Nathan Groves, Michael Pruiksma and others, kept constant pressure on West quarterback Payne Stolsworth, sacking him twice in the first half and three times in the second half for minus 49 yards. “We played very well,” said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “The field was in bad shape but our offensive line just seemed to run block really well. And the backs did a very nice job and we kept our feet pretty good. “That was the best game our offensive line has played all year,” he added. We hit six of eight passes. The receivers did a good job catching the ball and they did a good job of blocking, too. All eleven players out there on both sides of the ball did a good job.” Kings Mountain drove the opening kickoff 61 yards in seven plays to take a 7-0 lead on Wade’s 39-yard keeper off the right side of the line. It came three plays after he hit Quintin Davidson on a 14-yard pass on third and eight. The KM defense had trouble containing Perry,
but made big plays on him in key situations. He finished as the game’s top rusher with 161 yards on 24 carries, but the rest of his team had minus 39. “West Rowan was a very solid team with a really good running back,” noted Coach Lloyd. “We had a very good red zone defense. We forced a couple of turnovers, and our special teams also did a good job. We played a complete game.” KM ran its lead to 13-0 when Wade’s 20 yard pass to Kobe Paysour capped an 80-yard drive that also included a 35-yard catch by Paysour. West Rowan appeared to be getting back into the game, driving from its own 23 to the KM four before a false start set them back to the nine. Stolsworth tried to hit Ty’Kese Warren in the end zone but Ussery stepped in front of him at the goal line and went down the home sidelines to the WR 11 yard line. Two cracks up the middle by Mack produced only three yards, but Davidson ran a perfect out to the right and Wade hit him in stride for a 20-0 lead with 5:45 to go in the half. Kings Mountain scored on its first two possessions of the third quarter, and between those two drives the defense held West Rowan to three and out on its two possessions. KM drove 85 yards to go See W. ROWAN, Page 2B
Kings Mountain quarterback Kaylon Wade keeps the ball for some of his 129 yards rushing in Friday’s first round playoff win over West Iredell at John Gamble Stadium. His big night of 239 yards running and passing made him the school’s all-time total offense leader.

W. ROWAN From Page 1B up 27-0 on Mack’s three yard burst off the right side. Along the way he had six carries for 68 yards and Wade added a 19-yard keeper. After another West three
and out highlighted by Nathan Groves’ sack for a seven yard loss, the Mountaineers went 49 yards in 10 plays to score on Mack’s six yard run. The big junior, running behind good blocking, carried the ball eight times for 35 yards and Wade mixed in two carries for 13.
Kings Mountain threatened again on its next possession but lost its only fumble of the game at the West nine yard line. “We controlled the game in the second half,” Coach Lloyd noted. “The offensive line had its best game of the year. I thought James Parsons had his best game
and Xavier Brown stood out. Holden Turner did a good job blocking from the H-back position. “Jeremiah Brown and Isaac Watson did a really good job inside, and Day Day Wilson had a total effort on defense. I was really proud of all of our players.”

by Alan Hodge 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. Holly Lantern Parade. Photo by Alan Hodge working jaws, large and colorful butterflies, and more. The lamps were created

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. Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends. “I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress. See LAMP page 2

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 NC Cooperative Extension master gardener Dana suggestions. Harper is a fan of backyard chickens. She’s seen with See CHICKENS page 3 one of her flock. Dana Harper photo

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 Karen Tucker serves hard-time.

Kings Mountain High School Class of 1993 celebrated 25th reunion. (Photo by Gary Smart)
Four KMHS class reunions held Homecoming weekend By Loretta Cozart Four Kings Mountain High School classes held reunions last weekend. Celebrating were the Classes of 1968, 1973, 1978, and 1993. The Class of 1968 gathered for dinner on Friday night in Gastonia and celebrated at the Patrick Senior Center Saturday evening with 110 guests. Classmates bought ads and found creative ways to fund their event.
The three other classes attended the Homecoming football game and watched as the Mountaineers trounced Ashbrook. Sitting together at the 40-yard line, these alumni showed their Mountaineer pride wearing black and gold. The Class of 1973 held their reunion at the Kings Mountain Country Club, and 80 attended. At noon on Saturday, the class had a picnic at Lake Crawford, followed by the reunion later
of 1978 held their festivities at Deer Woods Farm in Bessemer City as 80 gathered for the celebration. After dinner, classmates danced to a DJ as others visited on the patio or gathered around the fire pit. Earlier in the day, classmates played a round of golf at the Kings Mountain Country Club. Class Treasurer Steve Laughter commented, "It was awesome getting together with our classmates

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

which are steel-toed for safety’s sake, to show how even tough items like that can be important in the fight against breast cancer!”, she noted.
