Renovations continue in downtown KM By Loretta Cozart Renovations continue in downtown Kings Mountain as new owners invest in their properties in the central business district. Gregg Johnson installed new windows in his building on Battleground Avenue this week. The energy effi-
cient replacement windows match the original six-oversix windows that have been in the building since 1914. Brickwork for the patio was installed in the open space beside the John McGill / Tony Ruppe property on Mountain Street. Windows and doors were cut-in and brick flower boxes at
the front of the building were removed last week. Jim Thompson continues with renovations of the interior of Griffin Drug Center. Flooring and ceiling tiles were removed as workers cleaned out the building. Remaining fixtures include See RENOVATIONS, Page 8A
On Valentine’s Day, the Sweet House Bakery did a brisk business, with folks coming in and out all-day long picking-up treats for their special Valentines. Owner Karren Walls and her staff worked hard the day before, preparing chocolate covered strawberries for customers. They baked cupcakes... dozens and dozens of cupcakes of all varieties. According to Walls, their Strawberry Valentine cupcakes are almost as popular as their chocolate covered strawberries. “Valentine’s Day isn’t just about couples; it’s about love,” Walls explains. “And love is for everybody. “One of my customers came in and ordered Strawberries for the five favorite women in his life. When I turned and looked at him, he explained ‘No, I didn’t mean it that way.’ Then he explained he was ordering for his wife, mother, and three daughters,” she laughed. “He ordered two and a half dozen chocolate covered strawberries and had us put them in five individual boxes.” See BAKERY, Page 8A

The theme of this year’s program was “Celebrating Music from the African American Community.” Attendants sang together “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” the national Black anthem. Soloist Sarah Miller next sang “Somebody Bigger than You and I.” The program featured a fashion show with readings about significant African American female singers. Various types of music were discussed by guest Carol Boyd with accompanying audio samples. Ms. Boyd put together a fabulous display from her collection of African American music history that everyone enjoyed. Speakers at the event included Mayor Scott Neisler and Henry Gilmore. Mr. Gilmore highlighted several male musicians and sang selections by Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Luther Vandross. Event organizer Mary Jones said, “We wanted to show the great impact of African Americans in music by giving information on the history of music through important contributions by the African American community from the beginning of slavery until the present time.”

D r . Robert D. Billinger, Jr., Ph.D., “ R o a d Scholar” with the North CarRobert D. olina Hum a n i t i e s Billinger, Jr., Ph.D Council, will visit Mauney Memorial Library on Monday, March 11 at 6:00 pm to talk about the impact of baseball on mill towns during the Depression era. During the dark days of the Depression, the rural South had little to hang its hopes on: God, family, and baseball. The Prussian strategist, Carl von Clausewitz famously said, “War is the pursuit of politics by other means.” In “Hometown” North Carolina during the Depression, “Baseball was the pursuit of power/empowerment by other means.” Baseball was a game that everyone could either play or watch as they sought power/ empowerment: mill owners sought enthusiastic workers and loyal mill town citizens, players sought self-esteem and personal glory, and fans pursued excitement. Hear Dr. Billinger explain how mill town baseball was much more than a game; it gave real meaning to life. The program is free, so call the Library at 704-739-2371 to register, or visit mauneylibrary.org.
Dr. Billinger, a sports fan, a long-term member of the Wingate Bulldog Club, and former faculty athletic representative at Wingate University, has an interest in the role that sports have played in building communities, whether German POW camps or in North Carolina mill towns. He is a Professor Emeritus of History at Wingate University, where he taught between 1979 and 2014. He is the author of three books, including two concerning German POWs in America during World War II. This project is made possible by funding from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Humanities Council supports through grants and public programs vital conversations that nurture the cultures and heritage of North Carolina. Learn more about the work of the North Carolina Humanities Council at www.nchumanities.org .

OPEN HOUSE
By SSG Casey M. Raza Army Reserves Recruiter Paige and Parker Rollins recently enlisted into the United States Army Reserve. Both are graduates of Kings Mountain High School, class of 2018. Their parents are Cindy and Robert Rollins, Jr. For Paige Rollins, the journey was not easy. However, Paige stayed confident and dedicated to her commitment to join. Once enlisted, her twin brother Parker Rollins made his decision to join. Parker Rollins enlisted shortly after Paige and was the first to leave for Basic Combat Training. Paige then left and before they knew it, their Army careers took off. Parker and Paige successfully graduated Basic Training and are soon to graduate their Advanced Individual Training (military job training). “As a recruiter, I could not be more proud of these soldiers. It takes an extraordinary person to stand up and take an oath to serve this great nation. To the parents, while it is not easy to let a child at such a young age go and serve, I commend them on their support and encouragement towards Parker and Paige. It was that support and motivation from their parents that pushed them to accomplish every milestone thus far and I’m sure the rest of their careers. "Paige and Parker now stand ready to support and defend the constitution of United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. To bear true faith and allegiance to the same. To obey the orders of the President of the United States and the officers appointed over them accord-

They both will attend college and now have full federal funding with their enlistment incentives they have gained for their service. Both will walk out of a college of their choice with no debt for their service to this nation.”

Special singing at Rhema Church
The love of a spouse It should be noted; I would not like to be under constant surveillance by media and scrutinized daily. Some couples stayed together, such as Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier, but they seem to be in the minority. Today, I would like to look at one of the bible’s celebrity couples, Priscilla and Aquila. They are always mentioned together actively serving and encouraging others in the Lord. Though there is not a significant amount of information about them, we can gain a great deal of insight into their marriage and ministry. To be sure, many of the qualities and characteristics evidenced in a marriage can transfer to other relationships, and are therefore applicable to all of us. First, Priscilla and Aquila de-
Quick. Think of a celebrity couple. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Do you DR. JONATHAN recognize one M. BUNDON or more of Worship Pastor these power First Baptist Church couples? To be honest, I had to check to be sure the couples were still together at the time of this writing. So many Hollywood marriages dissolve shortly after they begin and make headlines the next week when one or both are spotted with a new love.
pended on each other and were no doubt, encouragers. This power couple, tent makers by trade, worked alongside one another in occupation and ministry. I am certain there were days when Priscilla and Aquila had more challenges than others. I am also certain it was a blessing to have each other. Personally, I can put up with almost anything with my wife working alongside me. Second, they taught and encouraged other Christians with their love of Christ and love of each other. Priscilla and Aquila invited Apollos into their home and “explained to him the way of God more adequately.” (Acts 18:26) Furthermore, both worked alongside the Apostle Paul at great personal risk for the furtherance of the Gospel. Finally, both Priscilla and
Aquila exemplified a Christ-centered marriage and godly relationship. If you are married, commit to keeping your marriage Christ-centered. Read and pray together. Additionally, get to know your spouse and their love language. There are many books and helps including Dr. Gary Chapman’s book, “The 5 Love Languages.” For those who are single, keep your relationship with God the most important. By doing so, you will be better equipped to love others and cultivate healthy relationships. For Jesus reminds us in Mark 12:30, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
A special singing will be held at Rhema Church on Saturday, February 23rd at 11:00 am. Robbie Fraley will be the featured guest. Rhema Church is located at 602 Slater Street in Kings Mountain, NC. Soup and sandwiches will be served following the service. Everyone is welcome.
Women’s gathering February 21 Thirsty Women’s Ministry will be hosting “Not Built To Break” women’s gathering on Thursday, February 21 at 6 p.m. at the Gaston County Library, located at 1555 E. Garrison Blvd., Gastonia. This event is free. All women are invited. Bring a snack and a pair of brand new or gently worn socks to help Teresda Wingo clothe the homeless population.

Chicken Recipes
SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt 1 pinch Creole seasoning 1 tablespoon water • Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees. • Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and Creole seasoning. Place chicken in a broiler pan. • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees. • Remove chicken from pan.

Artists’ Books: A Handmade Journey now open at Southern Arts Society "Artists’ Books: A Handmade Journey" opened Saturday February 16 at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain. This unique exhibit features handmade books from “The Bookies,” a collective of local artists that grew from a shared love of making books, creating papers and making marks. The exhibit will be on view through March 29. In 2007, a small group of bookmaking enthusiasts came together at Stillwater Studios in McAdenville. Anne Cowie and Dana Endsley had begun teaching bookmaking classes there the year before. There was so much interest that it seemed like all would benefit from a regular exchange of project ideas, tools, and looking into some of the many new books published on bookmaking. From there, “The Bookies” were formed. Among that original group were Susan Doggett, Pam Perkins, Laura Gardner, Anne Cowie and the late Bonnie Price. Workshops continued at Stillwater on book related topics like Paste Paper making and journal keeping. Each member expanded her knowledge through personal study and participation in workshops offered in other places and travelling to book exhibits in the region. After Stillwater Studios closed in 2009, the group met in various places, different artist’s studios (including Anne Cowie’s) and at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain. In the spring of 2013, The Bookies began meeting regularly at Southern Arts Society. Books in the exhibit “Artists’ Books: A Handmade Journey” are all made by hand, using a variety of methods and materials. Many are made from handmade paper or papers decorated by the individual artists. Some books are left with blank pages for future use, but most are filled with
ROASTED CHICKEN 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed salt and black pepper, to taste 1 TBSP. onion powder 1/2 cup margarine, divided 1 stalk celery, leaves removed • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. • Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. • Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken’s exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity. • Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees. Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.
JUICY CHICKEN BREASTS 1 lb. boneless chicken breasts 2 teaspoons olive oil Salt and pepper • Rub chicken with a little olive oil (1 teaspoon) and then with salt and pepper. • Heat another teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, place chicken breasts in and cook until edges are opaque, about 10 minutes. • Flip to the other side, then cover the pan, lower the heat and cook for another 10 minutes. • (Important: let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before you cut it so that all the juice will not flow out and cause the chicken to loose flavor). ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES 1 whole chicken 4 or 5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced into large pieces 2 cups whole carrots Onion, sliced in quarters Olive oil Garlic salt
• Preheat oven to 375. • Place whole chicken in center of large baking dish, rub with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt to taste. • Place vegetables in a dish with small amount of olive oil (2-3 tablespoons) and garlic salt to taste. Stir to coat. • Place vegetables around the outside of chicken in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees 1 hour. Uncover and finish baking until chicken reaches 165 degrees and lightly brown. Cooking time varies due to size of chicken. Remove chicken and continue cooking vegetables if they are not brown. • Stir vegetables several times during cooking process. BAKED LEMON CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE 1 tablespoon olive oil 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 lemon 1/4 cup butter 3 cups fresh sliced mushrooms 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup chicken broth, or more as needed 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Pour olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts in the dish, coating each side with oil. • Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each chicken breast. Slice the rest of the lemon and place a lemon slice on top of each chicken piece. • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes (165 degrees). • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are brown and liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir until coated. Add chicken broth, stirring to make a medium-thick sauce. Allow sauce to reduce, adjusting with a little more broth to make a creamy sauce. Add fresh parsley at the last minute. Spoon the sauce over the baked chicken breasts.

GWU student club fights human trafficking through Action Week, Feb. 25-Mar. 1 ‘Release the Captives’ offers tangible ways for advocates to get involved
NC Senator Ted Alexander (right) and Representative Kelly Hastings (left), and the County Commissioners to present the North Carolina Community College System’s 2019 Work
Planning for the Future
CCC hosts meeting with legislators On Monday, February 11, 2019, Cleveland Community College met with North Carolina Senator Ted Alexander, Representative Kelly Hastings, and the County Commissioners to present the North Carolina Community College System’s 2019 Workforce Development Legislative agenda and discuss how the System’s priorities can help students locally. During the meeting, two students spoke about their experiences with short-term job training programs at the College. Each told how their program helped them develop professionally and realize their own potential. One student, who began his higher education journey at a four-year university, said he quickly realized the university environment was not for him. He had also been unable to find a job that he enjoyed and that could support a fam-
ily in the future. He made the difficult decision to leave the university and search for a different path. That’s when he discovered CCC’s Electrical Lineworker Academy. Now, having reached the half-way point of the 10-week program, he has found what works for him. He said at the university he never became integrated into the campus culture, but in the Lineworker Academy he has found a sense of belonging, and a career he can envision doing for years to come. He spoke of the camaraderie he has found among his classmates, and how they encourage each other to overcome fears. Senator Alexander spoke about his personal experience with the shortage of workers skilled in trades such as plumbing, carpentry and electrical. He went on to say that community colleges and

short-term workforce training are essential to filling these voids in the workforce. The System’s highest budget priority, which is supported by CCC, is for $11.5 million to complete funding for short-term workforce training programs that lead to state- or industry-recognized credentials. The additional investment would place funding for these programs on the same level as funding for traditional academic programs. It also would allow community colleges to be more responsive and flexible to local business and industry needs since programs can be started quickly. The College also supports increases in faculty and staff compensation to bring it closer to the national average. North Carolina’s community college average faculty salary ranks 41st in the nation.
Hands-free bill moves to House AAA Carolinas is commending South Carolina legislators for continuing to advance a handsfree bill that would make it illegal for motorists to use hand-held communication devices, such as cell phones, while driving. Wednesday, H.3355, filed by Rep. Bill Taylor (R-Aiken) in December, was approved by the full House Education and Public Works Committee. The bill now moves to the full House for approval. “We applaud lawmakers for advancing this important legislation and taking a stand against distracted driving,” said Dave Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas. “Change starts at the legislative level and passing this bill into law will make South Carolina roads safer and save lives.” The hands-free bill would prohibit drivers from handling their phone and other electronic devices while behind the wheel. It will give law enforcement the ability to stop a driver for holding their phone, whereas in the past they had to prove the driver was actually texting. In South Carolina in 2018, there were 19,381 collisions resulting in 65 fatalities and 7,939 injuries as a direct result of documented cases of distracted driving, according to the SCDPS. AAA Carolinas believes the numbers were actually higher since law enforcement seldom documents the cause of crashes as “distracted driving’ because it is too difficult to prove and motorists won’t readily admit to it. The bill, as passed by the committee, carries a $200 fine. Last year Georgia became the 16th state to pass hands-free legislation and Virginia appears to be in the final stages of passing similar legislation as well. Of the 15 other states with similar phone bans, 13 saw at least a 16 percent decrease in fatalities since their laws went into effect. AAA Carolinas, an affiliate of the American Automobile Association, is a not-for-profit organization that serves more than 2.1 million member and the public with travel, automobile and insurance services while being an advocate for the safety and security of all travelers.
According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, North Carolina is one of the top 10 states for human trafficking, and Charlotte is the No. 1 city in the state. To bring awareness to efforts to prevent and end this injustice, the Gardner-Webb University club, “Release the Captives,” is hosting Anti-Human Trafficking Action Week (aHTAW) from Feb. 25 to March 1. During the week, club members will highlight the work of “Present Age Ministries,” an anti-human trafficking organization in Concord, N.C., that provides case management, counseling and housing for victims. Awareness activities are scheduled and donations will be collected for the ministry. Release Club Vice President Grace Lodholz (Cary, N.C.) said the club’s intention is to offer tangible ways for advocates to get involved. “The variety of events allows everyone—no matter what you’re interested in—to join the fight,” shared Lodholz, a senior nursing major. Jasmine Dee (Stanley, N.C.) joined Release when she came to GWU as a freshman. “I love being able to share what I know about combating human traf-

All activities are open to the public. • Feb. 25 – Art and Activism, 7-8:30 p.m., Tucker Lobby, create water color art pieces that will be donated to “Present Age Ministries” to encourage minors rescued from trafficking • Feb. 26 – Candlelight Prayer Vigil, 9 p.m., back patio

NAILED DOWN Sweep of Forestview clinches championship for KM teams Both Kings Mountain High School varsity basketball teams nailed down the outright Big South 3A Conference championship with a sweep of Forestview in their final regular season home games Tuesday night at Parker Gymnasium. Going into their contest, the KM girls had already clinched at least a tie for their first title since 1983. The 45-42 win over the Lady Jaguars clinched the championship for themselves. The KM men held a one game lead over Ashbrook heading going into their 85-64 win over the Jaguars. At the same time, Ashbrook lost to the North Gaston Wildcats giving the Mountaineers sole possession of the Big South crown for the second year in a row. The Mountaineers’ 6-8 senior James Parsons, making his first start, got the crowd excited early when he made good inside moves off assists from fellow seniors Kaylon Wade and Eli Paysour, for a quick 4-0 lead. Forestview did battle back behind impressive three-point shooting by Logan Botts and Reglen Miller to take a 20-19 lead after the first period. Except for Parsons’ two baskets and one by guard Kobe Paysour, the Mountaineers kept it close because senior Zeke Littlejohn canned 13 of his
26 points in the first eight minutes. It took a long three from freshman Isaiah Tate to give KM the lead at 24-23 less than a minute into the second period. Forestview battled back to tie the game at 24 briefly, but Eli Paysour’s basket with just over six minutes left in the half propelled the Mountaineers to a 45-30 advantage at the break. Forestview mounted a small comeback late in the third quarter behind Botts’ 15-point effort with four treys and three free throws that cut the KM lead to 60-50 going into the fourth quarter. Tate scored 10 of his 19 points in the fourth period as most of the starters were already on the bench. Coach Grayson Pierce did put seniors back on the floor with 3:05 left for a last hurrah for the regular season, but went the final 2:23 with all subs. Kobe Paysour joined Littlejohn and Tate in double figures with 16 points. Game scoring honors went to Forestview’s Botts with 32. Kings Mountain’s girls were hot early and cold later, and had to fight off a comeback bid from the Forestview ladies in the final minutes. The Lady Mountaineers blazed to a 15-4 lead in the first period but Forestview came roaring back to outscore their hostesses 10-5

York Animal Shelter volunteer orientation
Ashley Kerns engages students at Bethware Elementary School By Loretta Cozart Principal Amy Jones of Bethware School recently shared that Ashley Kerns, the school’s media coordinator “engages students in lessons every day.” In a recent assignment, students were challenged to choose an ebook from Trueflix by Scholastic and then to cite the source and record three facts from the ebook and write it in their own words. It was an exercise in citing sources and avoiding plagiarism. “Trueflix is a wonderful resource that we use for re-
search because the articles are very engaging and reliable,” explains Kerns. “This assignment was chosen to reintroduce students to this resource that we will be using for our research projects in a few weeks. Through this assignment, “Students have learned the meaning of plagiarism, the consequences of plagiarism, and are in the process of learning strategies to avoid plagiarism. Students must be aware of plagiarism and how to avoid it in order to be prepared to do research. Additionally, students need
to know how to avoid plagiarism in their school careers. Giving credit to the original author is a must do,” Kerns teaches her students. “Overall, the students did a good job on the assignment. They all correctly cited a book and the majority had time to find and record three facts from their article,” she said. "The biggest challenge was not having enough time to find and choose three facts from the Trueflix article," student Morgan Sanders commented on the assignment.
Third grader, Jamarius Hill, awaits instructions from Media Coordinator, Ashley Kerns.

BC Middle Middle School School Tigers Tigers“Taking “Takingthe theChallenge” Challenge” BC Bessemer City Middle School participated in the “Great Kindness Challenge” the week of January 28th. This challenge is a worldwide program that creates a culture of kindness in schools, and many schools in Gaston County said “yes” to the challenge. Classrooms participated by planning and implementing kind activities throughout the week. Participating students and teachers enjoyed the challenge and were motivated by helping others. These acts of kindess included
putting sticky notes on lockers with encouraging messages, picking up trash around campus, providing treats and goodies to classmates and staff members, and writing thank you notes to staff members. Students were also encouraged to complete a checklist of 50 kindness challenges on their own. The students pictured are 7th grade Alize’ Ponton, Areaona Butler, and Holly Soard. These students chose to make a poster to hang in their classroom to
promote kindness. More info of the Great Kindness Challenge and its positive impact can be found on their website. Speaking of kindess, Bessemer City Mayor and City Council proclaimed February 14, 2019 as “City with A Heart Day.” This proclamation was declare to encourage all citizens to complete random, simple acts of kindess on the daily basis. Random acts such as volunteering at a local school, hospital, visiting a nursing home, can be done to promote general kindness.

2019 Bessemer City Sewer Sewer System System Smoke Smoke Testing 2019 Bessemer City Testing In the coming months, the City of Bessemer City will be conducting a test of the sanitary sewer system throughout the city. This test involves blowing harmless “smoke” into the sewer system to find where unwanted stormwater enters the sewer system. As a result, you may see “smoke” coming from roof vents, building foundations, manhole covers and various other areas. This is normal and is not a cause for an
alarm. The smoke should not enter your home or business if your building has proper plumbing, ventilation, and water traps that contain water. The process is quick and testing of your section of pipe will be completed in approximately one hour. Testing crews will be in and out of your neighborhood in one day. Follow these steps if smoke enters your home during testing. First, open your windows and pour
water down drains. The smoke vapor will dissipate soon. Next, report to Bessemer City Team to make them aware of where smoke may be escaping the sewer system. Issues where smoke has escaped the sewer system and entered into your home can be an indication of a dry water trap or a broken sewer line. Please consult a professional plumber for advice, and inform the Bessemer City team of any broken sewer lines. Have a question? Give us a call at 704-629-5542.
