as they bring Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" to life in their unique way. Make sure to stick around for photos and silliness during their exclusive Meet-and-Greet.

Kings Mountain is known for its synchronized downtown light show orchestrated to radio broadcasted music. Join Mayor Scott Neisler at 6 p.m. when the City flips the switch and turns downtown into a Winter Wonderland.

At 6:30 p.m., Mayor Neisler reads the classic

story "The Night Before Christmas" at the Gazebo before passing the spotlight over to Santa for his arrival atop a blazing red fire engine! Santa will meet with children of all ages, listening to Christmas wishes and posing for free photos on the Gazebo stage.

For the first time, you and your loved ones can take part in this new Christmas tradition! Kings Mountain's Downtown Christmas Celebration will feature an interactive walkthrough of Santa's Workshop, Victo-

Is Christ in our Christmas?

N o w that we’ve exercised our voting rights in the midterm elections, indulged JOHN L. HOUZE in a corPastor, n u c o p i a Peoples Baptist of food Church during t h e Thanksgiving holiday. (clothes might seem a little snug now) and battled Black Friday sales leaving us feeling a tad stressed as our finances become a little crunched.

Now we can begin the season to be jolly, the most wonderful time of the year, some might say. Let’s slow down and take a deep breath and ask ourselves what does Christmas truly mean to me? Really think before your answer.

With so much happening

in our lives today, like an unanchored boat we drift unaware, not realizing the currents of life are slowly taking us away from the shore. We get caught up in retail marketing campaigns and all the hype, forgetting that men emerge much better when they keep their primary focus on the main thing. For example, it defeats the purpose to buy milk because it’s on sale, all the while, knowing you’re lactose intolerant, and only needed to purchase juice.

It just occurred to me how much Christ is in our Christmas.

In the hustle and bustle of the holiday we will become more concerned about which stores have the best sale and less focused on the Virgin Born Savior.

Will our peace on earth be in finding a choice parking spot or good will toward all men?

In closing, I would like to give a “Shout Out” to the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry and the job they do promoting goodwill toward the community, especially the bell ringing which is always a blessing to be a part of. It gives us an opportunity to observe how people give. When you see someone drive up in a luxury car, dressed well and financially blessed, walk by the bell ringers as if it’s an insult to suggest they give or you see a child insists with excitement that his mother give him something to put in the offering bucket or maybe a father with limited resources, holding his small child, empty his pockets and say Merry Christmas. That’s the spirit of Christmas.

May we all ask ourselves how much Christ will be in our Christmas.

Be Blessed!

Carrousel Parade memories

By Loretta Cozart Thanksgiving brings many traditions: Turkey, stuffing, football games, and parades. Fifty-eight years ago, the Carrousel Parade reigned supreme among local Thanksgiving traditions and was the predecessor to today’s Novant Health Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The first Carrousel Parade began in downtown Charlotte in 1947, but it wasn't held on Thanksgiving Day. That didn't happen until 1950. The parade grew in popularity, and in 1968 a portion of the parade was even televised nationally on CBS. Mary Lillian Lewis (Pucky) Nantz, was named Kings Mountain's 1960 Carrousel Princess, elected by her classmates at Kings Mountain High School. "Robert Goforth came to the high school and crowned me ‘Carrousel

Princess,'" Nantz recalled. "We were nominated by different school organizations. The Future Teachers of America nominated me," she said.

In those days, all the Carrousel Princesses stayed the night before the parade at the Hotel Charlotte and attended a reception, dinner, and ball during the evening. Attire included formal Carrousel Princess Mary Lillian Lewis and semi-formal (Pucky) Nantz in her formal gown. gowns. membered.

"We received The morning before the written direction before the ball to ‘curtsy to the Carrou- parade, all Carrousel Prinsel Queen.' If we didn't know cesses attended a breakfast how to curtsy, they instructed and church before going to us to ‘ask for instruction be- the Executive Director's Lunfore attending,'" Nantz re- cheon. "We received written

direction about what to wear to every event. For the parade, we were told to wear a formal or semi-formal gown.

I wore a formal gown and am glad I did. It was so cold that day. Mrs. Catherine Neisler loaned me a mink stole to wear, and someone gave me hand warmers to keep in the pockets. We were able to wear a lap blanket, which I wore under my dress for warmth. We were told to wear our Crown, Ribbon, and orchid." Nantz remembers, "They told us to ‘Be cheerful and wave; be a real Princess.'"

The parade route ran from the intersection of East and South Boulevards to the Square, then down Trade Street to Morehead. "They took our photos on Morehead Street. We were instructed to look toward the judges and the cameras. "I just remember not knowing where I was and when I was supposed to

■ MEDITATION

I am grateful for God’s enduring love! (Part 4) “He remembered us in our It was Thanksgiving low estate His love enDay around dures forever. And freed 2pm and my us from our enemies. His celebration love endures forever. He was over. gives food to every creaOnce all the ture. His love endures forpreparations ever. Give thanks to the were comGod of heaven. His love plete, the endures forever” (Psalm Jeff Wilson meal was 136:23-26, NIV). No matPastor c o n s u m e d Kings Mountain ter the season or life cirand we all Church of the cumstances the Israelites Nazarene enjoyed experienced, they still took our time totime to thank God for His gether. God provisions, even when they provided that day and I was were full and maybe even very thankful, but I must tired of saying thanks. admit, I was also very full.

Maybe you find yourself As we close out our time like I did on Thanksgiving exploring Psalm 136, we are afternoon, full and unable reminded that the Israelites to consume one more bite. were purposeful in thank- When I am full, about the ing God for all He provides. only thing I can think of is

sitting still for a while, or maybe a nap. In our lives, when we are full with all that God has provided, we tend to act in a similar fashion. We are at risk of becoming lazy or content and there may be very little action, spiritually speaking, in our lives. The danger of only saying ‘thank you’ to God for all He has provided without taking action is that we can become spiritually full, therefore, making it difficult to receive more of God’s blessings.

“What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord” (Psalm 116:12-13, NIV). This verse is the best remedy. When we only consume blessing—

even though we are thankful—we miss a key point of action. The Psalmist is telling us to thank God with more than just words; we are to thank Him with the very living of our lives. When we put our thanksgiving into action, we then create room in our lives to receive more blessing as we call on the Lord. Our family, friends, neighbors and coworkers will see in our actions how truly thankful we are. As we turn from the Thanksgiving holiday and head into the Advent season, let us consider an amazing gift we can give the world. Let us go beyond only words of thanksgiving and put our thanks into action.

Wreaths Across America Ceremony will be held at Mountain Rest Cemetery on Saturday, December 15 at noon.

Wreaths Across America Ceremony December 15

By Loretta Cozart The Colonel Frederick Hambright Daughters of the American Revolution Chapter will hold its first Wreaths Across America Ceremony at Mountain Rest Cemetery on Saturday, December 15 at noon. Join DAR members as they honor the veterans buried here and place wreaths purchased by our community.

The ceremony begins promptly at noon, with the help of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Civil Air Patrol Cadets, American Legion Riders, and citizens. Wreaths will be placed after the cer-

emony at noon. As each wreath is placed on the Veteran’s grave their name is spoken and they are thanked for their service.

Robin Meyer, DAR District II Director shared, “We have over 1200 Veterans buried at Mountain Rest Cemetery. These are the Veterans who we hope to honor when we participate in Wreaths Across America Day on December 15, 2018 “We may not get 1200 wreaths this year. I hope we do. My biggest hope though is that we can grow this annual event, including more and more local organizations so that all 1200

Veterans can be honored. I want you to close your eyes and picture 1200 evergreen wreaths with red bows adorning the graves of our local Veterans. Let’s make that picture a reality,” she said.

Renee Bost, Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter Regent said, “Bring your family and make this ceremony part of your family’s Christmas tradition. Let the wreaths on these graves serve as a reminder that Kings Mountain remembers our veterans year ‘round and we appreciate their service…. especially at Christmastime.”

1 cup unsalted butter 1 cup granulated white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 egg 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 cups all purpose flour Preheat oven to 350° F. •In the bowl of your mixer cream butter and sugar until smooth, at least 3 minutes Beat in extracts and egg.

•In a separate bowl: combine baking powder and salt with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients. The dough will be very stiff. If it becomes too stiff for your mixer turn out the dough onto a countertop surface. Wet your hands and finish off kneading the dough by hand.

•DO NOT CHILL THE DOUGH. Divide into workable batches, roll out onto a floured surface and cut.

You want these cookies to be on the thicker side (closer to 1/4 inch rather than 1/8).

•Bake for 6 minutes for soft cookies or 7-8 minutes for crisper cookies.

Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.

NOTES: You can use salted butter (just leave out the 1/2 teaspoon salt).

If you must chill the dough just leave it on the counter top for 10 minutes before rolling or work the dough with your hands for a few minutes. Lemon flavoring may be substituted for the almond flavoring. Truffles can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

NO BAKE COOKIES 2 cups white sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 pinch salt 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter 3 cups quick cooking oats • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa, milk and margarine. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, peanut butter and oats.

• Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow cookies to cool for at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.

State settlement with Atrium Health over healthcare pricing North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein announced November 15, that he has reached a settlement with Atrium Health as a result of the antitrust lawsuit the North Carolina Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Justice filed in 2016.

“As a result of this settlement, people will be able to purchase lower cost, high quality healthcare and gain transparency of healthcare pricing,” said Attorney General Josh Stein. “We can’t allow Atrium to use its size and market dominance to the detriment of healthcare con-

sumers.”

The settlement prohibits Atrium Health from entering into contracts with insurers that would: • prevent them from disclosing healthcare prices to consumers or punish them for providing price transparency; • restrict them from offering consumers financial incentives to use lower cost, high quality providers; • require Atrium’s prior approval for insurers to introduce new, lower cost benefit plans; or • require that Atrium be included in the most-pre-

ferred tier of benefit plans even if it does not meet price or value criteria.

“My office has appreciated our partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice in this matter,” said Attorney General Josh Stein. “Together, we have been able to achieve greater competition and price transparency for healthcare consumers in the Charlotte area.”

The settlement requires that Atrium notify insurance providers within 15 business days that it will no longer enter into or enforce contracts that violate the above terms.

Grover Christmas Parade Line Up for December 1, 2018 Line Up 10 a.m.

Parade 11 a.m

Beautiful downtown McAdenville Christmas Town USA (File photo)

Thousands of visitors expected

Christmas Town USA lights return this week Provided by NC DOT The arrival of the holiday season means more traffic for the Gaston County community of McAdenville, also known as Christmas Town, USA. As thousands of visitors are expected to drive through the area, the N.C. Department of Transportation is working to ensure traffic flows smoothly, both for motorists heading to McAdenville and for drivers passing through to other destinations.

The town will officially kick off its 63rd year of

this popular free attraction at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, continuing through Wednesday, Dec. 26. Visitors can enjoy the festive light displays Monday through Friday from 5:30 – 9:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 5:30 – 11 p.m.

Steve Rankin with the Christmas Town Committee says visitors will have a special experience. “McAdenville is so unique versus other Christmas displays”, says Rankin. “McAdenville is a real town with real people, decorating real homes…it’s all free. Even the parking is free.”

Due to the large number of vehicles expected in the area, motorists should expect delays and slow down during the holiday season.

One option for visitors is to arrive early, between 5 – 5:15 p.m., find a parking spot and wait for the lights to come on at 5:30 p.m.

NCDOT will place message boards on I-85 to inform motorists of the following: Drivers coming from Charlotte should use U.S. 74 (Wilkinson Boulevard) into McAdenville; an alternate route is from I-85 South to Exit 27 ( N.C. 273) to U.S. 74;

Motorists driving north on I-85 should use Exit 22 (Lowell) into McAdenville; and The ramp from I-85 North to Exit 23 (N.C. 7) will be closed nightly during events.

Walking through McAdenville offers another way to see the lights while hearing the church chimes ringing in the background.

Pedestrians are asked to remain on the sidewalks and not enter homeowners’ private property.

Big test Friday at Northwest Cabarrus Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will face by far their biggest test of the season Friday night when they travel to Concord to face undefeated Northwest Cabarrus.

The Trojans rolled through the regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs with a high-scoring offense that has burning speed.

The Trojans are coached

by Brandon Gentry, who played at Crest High School when current Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd was an assistant there.

The Trojans have had only two close games, a 28-24 win over North Stanly and a 33-30 victory

over Cox Mill. They compete in the South Piedmont Conference, one of the toughest in the state that includes former state champions like Kannapolis AL Brown and Concord.

“They are the fastest team we’ve seen,” noted coach Greg Lloyd. “They have unbelievable skill people and as good an offensive line as we’ve seen.

“They’re definitely the best offensive team we’ve seen,” he added. “They mix in passing very well. They have an extremely good offense.”

The Trojans have put up 531 points to date, an average of 40.8 per game. In the state playoffs, they’ve

defeated North Bumcombe 56-21 and Tuscola 41-8, and were a missed PAT away from having the Tuscola game going to a running clock.

Their 6-3 quarterback, junior Nick Wilds-lawing, is very versatile. He hit on 11 of 12 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns last week and also ran for a 39-yard score. Four of those passes went to senior I.J. Sturdivant for 84 yards.

Led by junior running backTyrese Blake, who is 5-8, 187 pounds, the team is very quick and shifty.

“Their defense is good, too,” noted Coach Lloyd.

“They run a 4-2-5 and fly to the ball. They mix up their

coverage really well. They have an excellent kicker.

He kicks it deep. And, they are good at covering kicks.

I can see why they are 13-0.

“They have big time

They’re good from top to bottom.”

Lloyd said this will be the toughest test the Mountaineers have had.

Mountaineers pound Greyhounds 35-21 The music over the PA system Friday at Statesville High School was asking “who let the dogs out?”

It doesn’t matter who let them out. Kobe Paysour and the Mountaineers put them up.

When the Greyhounds were barking near the end zone with a chance to turn a 28-21 Kings Mountain lead into a tie, Paysour’s school record 103-yard pass interception return for a touchdown sealed a 35-21 win in the second round of the state 3A playoffs.

“Our guys just stepped it up,” said Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd. “The main thing is that we won. It definitely was not our best game but we played hard.”

The win ran the Mountaineers’ record to 11-2 heading into a third round game Friday at undefeated Northwest Cabarrus. Statesville put its gear away with a 9-4 mark.

Kings Mountain held the upper hand the entire game, but the talented Greyhounds made it interesting in the end.

They actually held the upper hand in the rushing and passing stats.

After both offenses opened the game with threeand-out, Kings Mountain drove 54 yards to take a 7-0 lead on an eight yard keeper by quarterback Kaylon Wade, who would finish with 78 yards rushing and 180 passing to boost his all-time Mountaineer total offense record to 7,493 yards.

A fumble recovery by Zach Crawford with 3:22 left in the first quarter set up a 72-yard, six play scoring drive that culminated with Paysour’s first of three touchdowns on a four-yard pass

from Wade. Paysour actually took a slant pass from Wade and rambled 67 yards for an apparent TD but was ruled out of bounds at the four.

Another Crawford fumble recovery halted a Statesville drive at the KM 11, but three plays later Chavion Smith recovered a KM fumble and raced 43 yards for a TD that cut the lead to 14-7.

A high snap from center sailed over the Statesville punter’s head in the final minute of the first half and KM recovered at the Greyhounds’ eight yard line. Wade found Paysour crossing the front of the end zone on first down for a 21-7 lead at the break.

Smith went 20 yards on a double reverse to cut the KM lead to 21-14 on the opening drive of the third quarter but KM answered with a 67-yard drive that ended in a 19-yard touchdown pass across the middle from Wade to Holden Turner.

Statesville responded with a 67-yard drive that saw Smith score on a fouryard burst up the gut of the Mountaineer defense, and all of a sudden it was 28-21 with 2:29 still showing in the third period.

Statesville got the ball back with 39 seconds left in the third and mounted a potential game-tying drive. On a second and goal from the six yard line, Paysour made a remarkable one-hand interception three yards deep in the endzone, hit the KM sideline and outran everybody to the Statesville end zone.

Statesville was able to get as far as the KM 13, but the KM defense turned up the heat and a sack by DayDay Wilson resulted in Statesville losing the ball on downs at

KM’s Zach Crawford puts the pressure on Statesville offense. the KM 18.

Statesville was able to make it back to the KM 45 late in the game but an interception by Marquis Fewell, followed by a 35-yard burst from Ricaylen Mack, sealed the victory.

“We were solid on defense in the first half but they sort of got us on our heels in the second half,” noted Coach Lloyd. “But when the game got close our guys just stepped it up and turned a potential tying touchdown into a 14-point lead.

“They were big on defense and it made it hard on us in making plays. They’re not an easy team to move the ball on, but we scored more points on them than anybody this year.”

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 Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with 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.

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. Sarah Lunch, Museum Director, and Curator commented,

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.

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

The day, or first, shift crew at Keystone Powdered Metals in their pink shirts they wore last week as part of their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (photo by MEP/The Eagle) how the employees came together to do this.

“We had one firstshift employee who even bought pink duct tape and duct-taped his work boots,

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.

A Community Revival “Together for the Gospel” is planned for October 25-28, 7:00 p.m. nightly for all ages.

This will be a tent revival across from Bethware School (Kings Mountain). There will be a special children’s event on Saturday, October 27, from 3 - 6 p.m. at D id B ti t Ch h

Deadline Friday 12:00pm Circulation 2,700

The plant has a total of 150 employees and has as one of their main clients Ford Motor Company, as has had many major appliance corporations as well in

the past.
