City Council approves
Limited alcohol at Patriots Park By Loretta Cozart On Tuesday, November 27, City Council approved an ordinance amending Section 130.10 allowing sponsorship sale and consumption of beer and wine at Patriots Park. The initial discussion also included the Cherokee Street parking lot, but that was removed from the motion by Councilman Mike Butler and unani-
mously approved by Council. Mayor Scott Neisler commented on the challenges faced by law enforcement, since coolers are currently allowed at events like Beach Blast and Mountaineer Days. “We currently do not have good control over alcohol being brought into the park by festival guests, since folks can bring their own cool-
ers,” Neisler said. He also stressed, “By no means would we offer alcohol during youth activities or at the Fourth of July.” Council asked Assistant Police Chief Lisa Proctor if the town could limit or exclude coolers in the park. Proctor replied, “The City Council can exclude coolers. We enforce the rules See ALCOHOL, Page 2A
The Grinch stole the Christmas parade By Loretta Cozart The Grinch may have stolen this year’s Christmas parade, but he couldn’t steal the spirit of Christmas in Kings Mountain. Due to heavy rain, and to the dismay of many, Kings Mountain was forced to cancel this year’s Christmas parade. The Winter Wonderland Festival, scheduled to follow the parade, was also cancelled. Events scheduled to occur during the festival have been rescheduled to coincide with to the “Home for Christmas” events already planned in upcoming weeks. There will be plenty to do downtown on December 8, 15, and 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Carriage rides are also available during the Downtown Holiday Market. Tickets for carriage rides are: $5 for adults, $3 for

Costner’s gift continues to bless Kings Mountain By Loretta Cozart More than 20 years ago, Grady Costner retired from his floor covering business and kept himself busy year-round creating unique Christmas decorations in his workshop at his home in Midpines. He’d create a new display each year using small rods and his imagination. His wife, Katie strung the lights. Folks piled their families into their cars each year and made their annual trip to Midpines during the Christmas season. For many, Christmas wasn’t complete without the trip to the Costner’s. Katie and Grady Costner greeted visitors and “Santa” handed out candy canes to passing children. Over time, the display grew to the Costner’s front yard, back yard, and adjoining property. The winter

Visitors referred to the display as a mini-McAdenville (now called Christmastown USA.) Last year, after the pass-
ing of both Katie and Grady Costner, many feared the Christmas lights would go dark and the Costner’s legacy would only be a memory. But their son, Charles, kept the holiday tradition going for one more year to honor his parent’s memory and the community was given the See COSTNER, Page 3A

for proof of age.” City Attorney Mickey Corey explained “North Carolina’s very strict ABC laws are covered under Chapter 18B of the General Statutes. The City can also establish additional guidelines, which are forthcoming for the Council’s review.” Councilman Tommy Hawkins explained that he “voted against this issue before. I am concerned for our citizen’s safety. Why do we need to serve alcohol? I just don’t think this is the answer.” Councilman Mike Butler suggested Council approve but remove the Cherokee Street Parking Lot from consideration and Council voted to ap-
prove the change. The motion passed 5 to 2, with Tommy Hawkins and Tim Miller voting against. In additional business, the City scheduled a Public Hearing for Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 6 p.m. to consider a rezoning request by Mr. Ted Ford on property located at 201 E. King Street (KM Map 4, Blk 6, Lot 16 PIN#350510398) to be rezoned from Neighborhood Business to Conditional Use Zoning of General Business to allow Neighborhood Business Zoning District uses along with an Upholstery Business. City Council considered possible action regarding an Ordinance relating to repair, closing,
and / or demolition of non-residential buildings and structures presented by Planning Director Stuart Gilbert and Mike Roper of Codes Enforcement. Gilbert reported, “Reviewing these eye-sore properties is necessary to take care of unsafe structures. Once the roof goes bad, it is just a matter of time before the building goes down. City Council will be involved in the process and owners will be given a time frame in which to repair their buildings. Councilman Jay Rhodes made the motion to approve and the vote was unanimous.

shared. The plan outlined by Mayor Neisler is to sell a vendor sponsorship, which allows that vendor to sell beer and wine. Beverages would be served in a cup and would be restricted to Patriots Park. No alcohol would be allowed beyond that designated area or on the streets. The City would be included as an “also insured” on the sponsor vendor’s insurance policy for added protection. Assistant Chief Proctor explained, “A sponsor has to go through training of the rules and regulations to serve alcohol.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive. –Matt Cameron
Pieces of Kings Mountain History The Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club had its organiLORETTA zational COZART meeting on March 7, 1940 in the Kings Mountain Woman’s Club. This was the town’s second national service club, second only to the Lions Club according to the Kings Mountain Herald. “Members of the Kings Mountain Men’s Club voted at their meeting last Thursday to become a member of Kiwanis International… The Men’s Club is an outgrowth of the Civitan Club which organized here in 1927 and changed to the local club in 1932.
“The Men’s Club has been a controlling factor in the growth and progress of Kings Mountain, as members have always been ready and anxious to sponsor and contribute to any movement for the betterment of The Best Town In The State,” the Herald states. Five new members joined that March 7 meeting: Fuller McGill, W.M. Morehead, R.H. Webb, W.A. Williams, and L.L. Benson. Charter night was held at the Hotel Charles in Shelby and the Shelby Kiwanis club sponsored the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club. Aubrey Mauney reported in the Herald, “It was a great occasion for the county – even the banks
were closed during the day and 200 gathered to honor. “Gifts to the local club were presented from surrounding communities. The Shelby club presented a large table dinner gong and gavel… Rutherford presented a complete records system, the Gastonia Kiwanis presented an American Flag, and the Lenoir club presented the Canadian Flag,” Mauney wrote. Photos were taken of the grand event at the Hotel Charles in Shelby, one of the nicest hotels in the county at that time. At the club’s very next meeting on April 25, 1940, the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club honored the Kings Mountain School Band with a banquet for the rating the band received participating in the State Music Contest in Greensboro the week before. Seventy-eight years later, the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club continues “Serving the children of the world,” one child and one community at a time.

the world for Christmas. A few days later one of my relatives was visiting in our home and he was admiring my white electric guitar. He didn’t make a lot of money but admired my gift and later commented that it was hard to buy many Christmas gifts on $20 a week. I felt a little bad about my beautiful guitar and sad for him. This was back in the day when decent money was $125 a week. Looking back, I can now see more clearly that his perspective was that of a struggling adult. I enjoyed that feel of being a little child. I didn’t worry about healthcare, about having food to eat, paying all the bills, sickness, or life’s longevity. I was free to enjoy the child’s perspective of Christmas. Today, as adults we are hammered with the harsh realities of life. We deal with See PERSPECTIVE, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION Church of Hudson (about 3 blocks away) where I serve as Minister of Music and Senior Adults and Belinda and I are visitation ministers. God is so good. I also have the privilege of teaching a Special Education Sunday School Class for 3 young men and leading the music and Bible memorization class for our Kids Club on Wednesday evenings. Then there is our church’s Food Pantry ministry on Wednesday mornings, a standing appointment at 2 different nursing homes once a month to share in music and the Word. And from November thru March, I am part of Club Wildwood’s Funky Kitchen Band that does programs in local nursing homes and for senior adult groups about twice a week, enjoy building relationships at Karaoke at our club house on Thursday evenings and Water Aerobics every morning from 9 to 10. In the midst of all the above, we squeeze in doctor and dentist visits for check
SALT Many of you reading this article will remember that I served as pastor of Second Baptist Church of Kings Mountain for nine years beJAMES fore retiring to LOCHRIDGE, JR. Aruba in 2015 Florida to pastor Good News Baptist Church in Oranjestad. Then when our efforts to qualify with their immigration laws failed in March of 2017, God led us to Hudson, Florida (about 35 miles north of Tampa on the gulf coast.) He then gave us a ministry to well over 500 people in Club Wildwood (a 55+ Double-wide park) where I am the volunteer chaplain and to First Baptist
ups, Veterans meetings in the park, HOA and Civic meetings, and vacation trips. Did I mention that I retired? LOL! God certainly has a sense of humor. So you’re wondering about SALT. Well that’s the name our senior adults at FBC chose for our monthly meetings. It stands for Senior Adults Living Triumphantly! And in the hustle and bustle of our “retired” life, I can truly say that Belinda and I are doing just that. It seems almost every day that God shows us yet another reason that He brought us to Hudson, FBC, and Club Wildwood. We have friends galore; perhaps because we have adopted the attitude of Proverbs 18:24a, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly.” Though we are not rich materially speaking, we have found Paul’s words in Philippians 4:19 to be true: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches
in glory by Christ Jesus.” We have also found that when we daily pray David’s prayer in Psalm 139:23 - 24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting”, He does just that. What a blessing! We have found that you can’t out give the Lord; “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” We have found a tremendously caring church family at First Baptist Church of Hudson by applying Hebrews 10:24-25: “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Those
verses also remind us that Genesis 6:3 tells us, “And the Lord said, ‘My Spirit shall not strive with man forever,”; there is coming a day of reckoning when every man, woman, boy, and girl will have to stand before God based on whether or not they have received His only gift of salvation (life abundant and eternal) by trusting Jesus alone for the forgiveness of their sins and then giving account of what they have done with their life and that with which God has entrusted to them. I want to be a SALT conduit. An old hymn pleads, Lord, “make me a channel of blessing.” Then of course, Matthew 5:13 says, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” Think I’ll stick with Senior Adults Living Triumphantly! Selah! Think about it!

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

Town and Garden Club November meeting On Thursday, November 8, 2018, the Town and Country Garden Club met at the home of Glenda Crawford. Connie Bell, Club President led the nine members present in the reading of the Club Collect, after which a delicious meal was enjoyed. The business session was opened by presenting the former Club President with a North Carolina State Christmas ornament. Wendy Isbel will be moving back to her home in Indiana. She will be missed. Cards were signed to send to club members and former members who are unable to attend at this time. Cheryl Butler presented members with the 2018-2019 yearbook. Much thanks is given to Cheryl for her hard work in compiling this important information. Susan Gibson, Club Treasurer gave an update report after the annual dues were collected. Glenda Crawford, Secretary, read the minutes from the October meeting, which as held at the home of Connie Bell. It was at this meeting that everyone learned of Wendy Isbel’s accident and of her move. Connie Bell, Vice-President, was unanimously elected to President. A September meeting was not held because of Hurricane Florence. Discussion of the post office project was to prepare flower beds for winter months. The work date will be decided at a later date. This month’s program was presented by Glenda Crawford and the topic was the Dutch Iris. The Dutch Iris is a perennial that has been reported to be short-lived. This is not the case of one member, who has a plant that bloomed and multiplied for many years. She reported it was a lovely sight
when blooming in the spring. The Dutch Iris is very easy to grow, beautiful and relatively trouble-free. This is the most popular flower used by florists for cut flowers. The Dutch Iris is a group that has its beginnings in Spain, Morocco, Portugal and other Mediterranean countries. It is a bulb versus a rhizome. The flower needs plenty of sun to bloom best, though a little afternoon shade is tolerated. In planting the bulb, the soil should be fertile and very well drained. Fall is the best time to plant. The bulb should be planted three to five inches deep. It is recommended that they be planted 3 to 5 inches apart or up to 12 bulbs per square foot. Massing your planting gives the best show. Leaving the foliage until it
dies after the bloom ensures sufficient energy for next year’s bloom. Also in planting the bulb, the hair root side goes down and the pointed side up. Water well. Deer do not seem to like the Iris, but moles and mice do. To discourage them, add a few handfuls of crushed seashells or oyster shells to the hole. These animals don’t like the sharp, pointy crushed shells. The Dutch Iris come in colors of blue, yellow or white varieties. Iris is the name of the goddess of the rainbow in Greek Mythology. The December meeting will be a work meeting to prepare tray favors for the hospital. The garden club was pleased to welcome Teresa Fulton as a new club member.

Cherryville little Theatre to perform
“The Christmas Bus” Actors at The Cherryville Little Theatre are hard at work preparing for their performance of “The Christmas Bus.” This cast of 21 includes adults and children who have been rehearsing for the last 7 weeks to put together this festive show. The Christmas Bus is directed by Sarah Fox Sandoval and written by local author, Robert Inman. The show is centered around an orphanage at Christmastime. The story is told by a humble newspaper editor (Travis Sinair) who wants to write the perfect Christmas story for the paper. When Mrs. Frump (Robin Cox), the aging and frazzled orphanage matron, learns that the busybody members of the Board of Trustees (Lutricia Bennett, Judy Jones and Denise McCoy) are plotting to shut down the Pleasant Valley Orphanage, she vows to make this last Christmas memorable. Mrs. Frump decides to rent a bus and take every child to stay with a family for Christmas for the true holiday experience. Along the way, the gang meets a musician known as The Traveling Troubadour (Caleb Wright) who wants to know if he can make it as an artist before settling down with his
girlfriend Darlene (Autumn Bolton). Sheriff Snodgrass (Dan Fox) is always helpful to the hooligans of the orphanage but is torn between following the law and his kind heart. The orphans are comprised of a mix of ages and personalities. The eldest, Thomas CLT kicks off their first performance this (Laurie Ricardo) Friday night, December 7 at 7 p.m. is an intelligent and young man inthrough the countryside in their terested in pursuing mechanical bus hoping to make it a Christengineering, if only they could mas they will never forget.

KM at Catholic Friday for Western 3A title
Coach Greg Lloyd cheers his Mountaineers on in last week’s win over Northwest Cabarrus.
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will face their toughest test of the season – maybe ever – when they travel to Charlotte Catholic Friday night for the Western Regional football championship. The Cougars are a perennial power in North Carolina, having won numerous state championships in the private school and now NCHSAA organizations. Catholic has won 13 games in a row after losing its season opener to another Charlotte private school power, Charlotte Christian 6-0. Kings Mountain comes into the game with a 12-2 overall record and a sev-
and are in the regional finals for the ninth straight year.” Kings Mountain is making its fifth appearance in the regional finals. The Mountaineers went in 1997 and ’98 under Coach Ron Massey and 2008 and 2015 under Coach Lloyd. Their only Western Regional title came in ‘98 but the Mountaineers lost the state championship game to Winston-Salem Carver. “Catholic has multiple state championships. It’s a high level program,” Lloyd said. “They are very sound on defense. They run a 4-3, they have great size and they’re very solid. See CATHOLIC, Page 2B
KM game on WGNC 101.1 and internet The Kings Mountain at Charlotte Catholic football game Friday night will be broadcast locally on radio station WGNC 101.1. The game can also be heard live over the internet at WGNC.net Mayor Scott Neisler will be doing the play-by-play. en-game winning streak since losing the Big South 3A Conference championship game to Hunter Huss midway of the season. The Cougars knocked off the unbeaten Huskies 28-7 last week while the Mountaineers knocked off undefeated Northwest Cabarrus
49-28. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd said Catholic is probably the best team the Mountaineers have played during his 12-year tenure here. “For sure, this is going to be the best team we’ve played this year,” he said. “They’re the defending state champion
Quick start sparks KM over Trojans Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers scored on five of their six first half possessions and went on to rout previously unbeaten Northwest Cabarrus 49-28 in the third round of the state 3A playoffs Friday night in Concord. The win moves the Mountaineers into the Western 3A championship game against Charlotte Catholic Friday night at Catholic. The Mountaineers got a record tying five touchdowns from quarterback Kaylon Wade, who scored on four one-yard sneaks in the first half and added a 22-yard touchdown run in the second half. The record is shared by several Mountaineers including Kenny Bell, Anthony Hillman (three times), Dashon Guest and Ricyalen Mack. Ricaylen Mack, who went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the second straight season, added touchdown runs of 27 yards in the second quarter and 22 yards in the third as the Mountaineers ran their overall record to 11-2 and dropped NWC to 13-1. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd said the first half performance was the best his team has played all year. “We came out of the gate and played exceptionally well,” he said. “Getting an early lead was critical. It was the best we’ve played in all three phases, and we also did a great job punting. We executed very well.” Wade’s first sneak ended a 72-yard drive after the opening kickoff. Along the way Wade hit 3-of-3 passes with a 27 yard slant to John
Ricaylen Mack is on his way for a touchdown in Friday’s game at Northwest Cabarrus. Photos by Gary Smart Harmon Melton setting up the TD just three minutes into the game. After the two teams traded three-and-outs, the Mountaineers were rolling again after a short Northwest punt rolled dead on the North 42. Passes of 16 yards to Kobe Paysour and 15 to Chris Brittain, plus an 11-yard run by Wade moved the ball to the one. Wade followed the blocking of center Nathan Bess and guards Blake Davis and Xavier Brown into the end zone for a 14-0 lead.
The KM defense held Northwest to another threeand-out, setting up a 55-yard drive with Mack going off the right side for a 28-yard touchdown run and a 21-0 lead. The Mountaineer defense stopped the Trojans on a fourth and two running attempt at the KM 49 yard line, and nine plays later Wade scored on another sneak to run the score to 28-0. A fumble recovery at the KM 34 by James Ussery set up a nine-play drive that
culminated with yet another Wade sneak for a 35-0 lead with 33 seconds left in the half. Key plays included a 40-yard pass reception by Paysour, a Paysour sweep around end for 18 yards, and another Paysour reception for 14 yards and a first down at the NWC six. “Kobe had a great game even though he didn’t have a touchdown for the first time this year,” Lloyd said. “We just happened to be at the goal line for most of our touchdowns, but I’d say overall this was one of his best games.” The hosts were able to get on the board in the final second of the half on a one yard pass from quarterback Nick Wilds-Lawing to end Marquan Williams. “Northwest Cabarrus was a very talented team,” Lloyd said. “We got on them quick and that proved to be the key. We’ve shown a lot of improvement over the last six or seven games. I am pleased with where we are right now.” The Trojans were jacked up for the second half and took the opening kickoff from their own 23 to a first down at the KM 7. A fiveyard penalty pushed them back to the 12. Marquis Fewell broke up a third down pass and Wilds-Lawing’s fourth down passed sailed high out the back of the end zone. After an exchange of punts, the Mountaineers drove 51 yards in four plays to go up 42-7 on Mack’s 22-yard run around left end. Mack got the drive going
with an 11-yard run to the 40 and Wade went 16 yards on a QB counter to set up the TD. It didn’t take the Trojans long to answer, though, as Wilds-Lawing hit I.J. Sturdivant on a quick screen and he stepped around a KM defender and raced 84 yards to the end zone to make it 4214. The Trojans pulled an onside kick, which KM recovered, but the Mountaineers couldn’t get anything going and had to punt. After the teams exchanged 15-yard
penalties, the hosts were able to cover 62 yards in just three plays with Tyrese Blake going 26 yards on a draw play to cut the margin to 42-20. Things got a little antsy when the Mountaineers coughed up a fumble and NWC regained possession at their 32. After a sack, KM was charged with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that gave NWC a first down at the 40. The defense tightened, though, and See TROJANS, Page 2B

CATHOLIC From Page 1B “They run a wing T offense. They’re basically a running team but they will hit you with big plays in the passing game. They are well-coached. They’re a top notch team. I can see why they’ve won so much. This is going to be a big test.” They have a balanced attack, but depend largely on running backs Lamagen McDowell, a 6-1, 205pound junior, and running back Michael Neel, a 5-11, 175-pound senior. Each has well over 1,000 yards rushing. Their quarterback, senior Chris Walton, has hit on 80 of 113 passes for 1,266 yards. KM fans would love to see the Mountaineers jump on Catholic like they did

Northwest Cabarrus last week, but Lloyd said that would be tough to do. “The key for us will be to keep doing what we’ve been doing – try to get first downs and hold onto the ball,” Lloyd said. “The line will have to block well and when we get into scoring position we have to score.
“Defensively we’ll have to get off the blocks and get them off the field on third down. We don’t want to let them have drives. “Our special teams will have to play well,” he added. “We have to be solid in all there phases of the game. We need guys to make plays in critical situ-
ations. “Their defensive line is big and athletic,” he added. “We have to be patient and take what they give us. We have to take care of the ball and work it down the field. “This is going to be one of the toughest tests we’ve ever had. We have to play at a high level.”
with Wade scoring from 22 yards out to ice the game with 2:54 left. The Trojans were able to respond with a 12-yard keeper by Wilds-Lawing, and a two-point catch by Sturdivant rounded out the scoring. Kings Mountain got a little banged up and lineman Robert Lipscomb is a
question mark for Friday’s game at Catholic. “I thought our line blocked exceptionally well,” Lloyd said, “and all of our guys were running hard. We mixed things up a lot and executed very well. We played at a high level and that’s a tribute to how hard our players worked. “Defensively, it was a
team effort. I thought Day Day Wilson had a solid game along with Isaac Watson, Jeremiah Brown Zach Crawford, Belton Pressley and Marquis Fewell. “Everybody hustled to the ball and tackled well. They got most of their yardage in the second half. Our defense did its job very well.”

Mountaineer basketball season underway Odums and freshman Isaiah Tate played great defense during the run. Zeke Littlejohn led the KM scoring with 26 points. The Mountaineers are awaiting several players from the football team, including Kobe Paysour, Titus Clark, John Harmon Melton, Kaylon Wade, Belton Pressley and James Parsons. The Mountaineers, coached by Grayson Pierce, hope to repeat as Big South champions. Pierce is assisted by Randy Drennan, Matt Bradley and David Morris. Bradley also serves as head JV coach. Kings Mountain’s girls have a new coach in Nicholas Inman, but he is certainly no stranger to Mountaineer basketball. He served as head JV boys and assistant varsity coach for several years.

Others who started and/ or saw considerable playing time last season include Essence Houser, Treazure Hoper and Niya Kelly. Inman will be assisted by Darrel Wilson and Haley Blanton.

The Retirement Benefits of a Health Savings Account Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about health savings accounts? I’ve been reading that they are a great investment that can help with growing health care costs when I retire. Planning Ahead Dear Planning, It’s true! A health savings account is a fantastic financial tool that can help you build up a tax-free stash of money for medical expenses now and after you retire – but there’s a catch. To get one, you must have a high-deductible health insurance policy. How They Work Health savings accounts (or HSAs) have become increasingly popular over the past few years as health care costs continue to skyrocket, and because more and more Americans have gotten high-deductible health plans. The benefit of a HSA is the triple tax advantage that it offers: Your HSA contributions can be deducted pretax from your paycheck, lowering your taxable income; the money in the account grows tax-free; and if you use the money for eligible medical expenses, withdrawals
are tax-free. And if you change jobs, the HSA moves with you. To qualify, you must have a health insurance policy with a deductible of at least $1,350 for an individual or $2,700 for a family. This year (2018), you can contribute up to $3,450 if you have single health insurance coverage, or up to $6,900 for family coverage. Next year (2019) you can contribute slightly more – up to $3,500 for single coverage or up to $7,000 for family coverage. And people age 55 and older can put away an extra $1,000 each year. But you cannot make contributions after you sign up for Medicare. The money can be used for out-of-pocket medical expenses, including deductibles, co-payments, Medicare premiums, prescription drugs, vision and dental care and other expenses (see IRS.gov/ pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf, page 5, for a complete list) either now or when you retire for yourself and your spouse as well as your tax dependents. And unlike a flexible spending account,
an HSA doesn’t require you to use the money by the end of the year. Rather, HSA funds roll over year to year and continue to grow tax-free in your HSA account for later use. In fact, you’ll get a bigger tax benefit if you use other cash for current medical expenses and keep the HSA money growing for the long term. Be sure to hold on to your receipts for medical expenses after you open your HSA, even if you pay those bills with cash, so you can claim the expenses later. There’s no time limit for withdrawing the money tax-free for eligible medical expenses you incurred anytime after you opened the account.
tutions, as long as you have a qualified high-deductible health insurance policy. If you plan to keep the money growing for the future, look for an HSA administrator that offers a portfolio of mutual funds for long-term investing and has low fees. HealthEquity, OptumBank, The HSA Authority and Bank of America are the top ranked HSA providers for long-term investing according to the investment research firm Morningstar. To search for providers, visit HSAsearch. com.
But be aware that if you do use your HSA funds for non-medical expenses, you’ll be required to pay taxes on the withdrawal, plus a 20 percent penalty. The penalty, however, is waived for those 65 and older, but you’ll still pay ordinary income tax on withdraws not used for eligible expenses.
After setting up your HSA plan, adding money is pretty straightforward. Most plans let you do online transfers from your bank, send checks directly, or set up a payroll deduction if offered by your employer. And to access your HSA funds many plans provide a debit card, some offer a checkbook and most allow for reimbursement.
How to Open a HSA You should first check with your employer to see if they offer a HSA, and if they will contribute to it. If not, you can open an HSA through many banks, brokerage firms and other financial insti-

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.

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

Keystone Powdered Metals’ employees see PINK in Breast Cancer fight by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com
Children’s activities include pumpkin painting. (Photo provided)
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
