Mountain Holiday has laser fast gifts By Loretta Cozart
A variety of items are available for engraving at Mountain Holiday.
Mountain Holiday, a specialty gift and Christmas shop located in downtown Kings Mountain, has added in-store engravable gifts done for customers while they wait. Owner Beth White Allen added this feature in her store late last April and those who know about it love the convenience. Thanks to the Gravograph laser and software by P. Graham Dunn, customers can choose from an array of gifts right in the store. “Currently we use preset templates. But after our conference and training in Chicago later next month, we’ll be able to engrave your grandma’s handwritten recipe onto a cutting board or recipe box while you wait,” Allen explains. The best part, the engraving is included in the price of your gift. “Many customers ordered Christmas gifts last year and had us personalize them. Once the training is done, we can also scan logos and
The laser engraves your items as you watch. (Photos by Loretta Cozart) engrave a broader selection of items,” she said. “Our customers like the opportunity to make their gifts unique and unlike anything else they can find in town.” Engravable items are available for men, women, children and babies. From wedding gifts to graduation presents, there is a broad array of gifts from which
to choose. Allen points out, “I’m sure we’ll have new items available after the convention.” She says that engraving using the system is quite simple. The operator scans the bar code on the item and the software tells them which jigs to add onto the laser’s work surface. “Then we work with the customer
to choose the best font and layout. When that step is complete, we press a button and the laser does its job. It takes about 40 seconds to engrave a pen and a minute to engrave the money clip.” Allen explains, “We want to give our customers the ability to grab a gift, engrave it, and go.”
Practices make perfect One of America's for KM Little Theatre greatest treasures is just down the road By Loretta Cozart
By Alan Hodge Special to the Herald
A half dollar won't get you much these days, not even a candy bar, but that same amount of cash can get you a ride on one of America's most beautiful carrousels, and you don't have to go very far to find it. The city of Shelby has a number of downtown attractions such as the Earl
Scruggs Center in the old courthouse and the Gibson Theater around the corner on Washington St., but less than a mile away from courthouse square in Shelby City Park, in a special pavilion, is where the magic of the Shelby Carrousel is housed. The carrousel is basically a huge, mechanical artwork with music. It is a swirling
circle of brightly painted, galloping, wooden horses, mirrors, fancifully painted panels, and old time organ music rolled into one. It's been called a “theatrical thing of the mind”. The story of how the carrousel got to Shelby, how is it was restored, and the role it plays in bringing a See TREASURE, Page 8A
Before the curtain goes up for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” on Friday, March 8, a lot of rehearsal and collaboration takes place in preparation for the performance. Auditions where held in December and rehearsals began on January 3. Actors practice Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday each week from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Full dress rehearsals are scheduled each night during final week of practice. For Director, Wendy Walega and Musical Director, Libby Putnam, their work began in 2017. “We’ve been planning this play for over a year and a half, and are excited to share it with the community,” Walega said.

Pete, Ruth and Mickie Lynn. (Photo provided)
KM's lost soldier By Loretta Cozart On Saturday, February 23, author Chris J. Hartley spoke to a crowd who braved the cold rain to hear him speak at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum about his book, "The Lost Soldier." Hartley shared that he and his wife had visited "Grandma Ruth" Lynn in Kings Mountain in 1979. When Ruth heard of his interest in military history, she pulled a duffle bag from the closet filled with letters, documents, and a medal belonging to her husband, Pete. She told him the story of their life and that Pete was killed in action on November 2, 1944, during the Hurtgen Forest Campaign of WWII. Pete's real name was Felmer Lonzo Lynn, but everyone called him “Pete”. She shared with Hartley the story of their marriage and life on the Park Yarn mill village. All those years later, Ruth's love for Pete was as strong as the day she married him. Hartley listened intently to her story. Pete and Ruth attended Park Grace School, named from the two neighboring mills of Park Yarn and Margrace. Pete went to work at the age of 12, having completed school through the 6th grade. On February 24, 1934, the couple was married. They attended Macedonia Baptist Church and shopped at Ted Ware's store. They had a small house in the mill village and set up housekeeping. Pete was a Cart Hand at the Park Yarn mill. Ruth hemmed napkins at both the Park Yarn Mill and Margrace Mill over the years. When Pete left work, Ruth could hear him whistling as he made his way home. In the late 1930's the war overseas looked ominous and in 1940 Pete had to register for military service at the First National Bank of Kings Mountain. Before long, their oldest daughter Mickie came along. Their second daughter wasn't far behind. Until 1943, fathers had
Author Chris J. Hartley signs books at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum last Saturday. Photo by Loretta Cozart been protected from the draft, but with the lengthening of basic training, this protection ended. Textile workers were also protected from service since their industry was so important to the war effort. That year, Pete chose to see the world and decided against deferment. On March 15, 1943, Pete Lynn reported to the First National Bank of Kings Mountain. He got on a bus there and entered military service in the U.S. Army. Military life was tough at first, but Pete mastered the M1 rifle and earned the Marksman’s Badge. In letters home to Ruth regarding his training, Pete wrote, “We had a big-time rambling around in the woods.” Pete was considerably older than other men in his company, and they called him the “Old Man.” The depression years hadn't been kind to Pete, and he had to have his teeth pulled while in the service. Once fitted with dentures, he told Ruth, "I like to fainted over how good I looked." He sent a new photo home of him in uniform. She replied, "You look pretty swell." In early August 1944, Pete came home on leave and spent time with his young family. On August 12, Pete went back to war. Pete shared with Ruth that it took him until September to get to Scotland. Ruth replied in her letter, "I believe you are the last soldier." On October 7, Pete celebrated his 34th birthday by melting a chocolate bar in
CB
warm milk as he had done many times with his daughters. Three weeks later he was on his way to the Hurtgen Forest in Germany. In his last correspondence with his wife, Pete sent her $60 for her birthday. Ruth Lynn woke with a start on November 2. She thought she heard Pete whistling outside. This dream worried her, and a few weeks later a telegraph arrived with the news that Pete was missing in action. Pete was in Company B of the 28th Infantry Division. His company was out front 200 yards when German soldiers opened fire; Pete and three other men were cut-off from their company. The 28th Division had more than 6,000 casualties during WWII. On May 6, 1945, the Lynn's third daughter, Thelma Ruth "Petey" Lynn was born. After the war, Ruth had Pete's body brought home to Kings Mountain buried him at Mountain Rest Cemetery on Nov. 13, 1947 Macedonia Baptist Church held the funeral service, and townspeople paid their respects. In an article in the Herald, it was reported, "Only more love can fill love's empty place." The current exhibit at the museum is "Books: Stories that Shape Us." The Kings Mountain Historical Museum has copies of "The Lost Soldier" available in their gift shop.

YMCA awarded mini grant Five local non-profit organizations were recognized and awarded “Mini” Community Health Grants at The HealthCare Foundation of Cleveland County’s annual Gala held on February 9, 2019 event at the LeGrand Center. The annual HealthCare Foundation Gala brings together business and community leaders, benefactors and caregivers to support a variety of healthcare initiatives in our local community. “What’s raised here, stays here,” as every dollar remains in Cleveland County to improve the health and wellness of our citizens and their families. “Our annual Gala is our signature fundraiser to support a number of programs, including our Because We Care Fund assisting local cancer patients, the SafeKids Cleveland County program and Community Health Grants to name just a few,“ said Foundation Executive Director Dick Baker. As a highlight of this year’s event, the Foundation selected five Cleveland County non-profit organizations with health and wellness related missions to be the first recipients of “Mini” Community Health Grants, with each organization receiving a
$1,000 grant to continue their mission. The local organizations recognized were: - Cleveland County Rescue Mission: To support their on-site health clinic which provides health screenings to the homeless and reduces hospital emergency room visits. - Common Ground Café: Providing nutritious meals based on the “pay what you can” model through pop-up events around the county - Farmer Foodshare: Collecting and distributing unsold produce each week from the Foothills Farmers’ Market and distributing to those in need through 18 different food pantries in the county, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. - Feeding Kids Cleveland County: Providing food boxes and weekend backpacks of food to over 850 students in 5 Cleveland County schools who face food insecurity through no fault of their own. - Kings Mountain YMCA /LiveStrong Program: A support group assisting those who are living with, through and beyond cancer to regain strength and improve their quality of life. “Cleveland County
is ranked 81st out of 100 counties in North Carolina for healthy outcomes and 89th in longevity,” said Baker, adding “The only way we can improve is to work together as a community to tackle these problems.” The HealthCare Foundation of Cleveland County receives no federal, state, or local government funding and must rely on public and private support to further its mission. “Our job is to be a catalyst to promote wellness and improve health in Cleveland County,” said Baker, adding, “The hope is that by providing these small grants to deserving local non-profit organizations, we can encourage them to continue their important work, while at the same time give them some much deserved public recognition.” The HealthCare Foundation of Cleveland County will continue to award similar grants to other Cleveland County non-profits throughout the year that are having a direct impact on improving health and wellness. More information on this and other foundation initiatives can be found on the organization’s website: www.healthcarefoundationcc.org
Beverly Oates-Jones (R) with her students at the After School Learning Center in Kings Mountain. (Photo provided)
After School Learning Center targets success for students By Loretta Cozart Beverly Oates-Jones started the After School Learning Center in the Ebenezer community of Kings Mountain ten years ago and in that time, all her students have passed their end of grade tests. Her program targets African-American students but is open to everyone. Oates-Jones’ mother taught school for 33 years in Cleveland County Schools and her father was a contractor. “Both parents were my role models, but I always wanted to be a teacher. I attended Gardner-Webb College, but didn’t earn an “A” or “G” Certificate to teach. I have degrees in both French and Health Education,” she said. After college, Oates-Jones learned the ropes in Char-
lotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) as an After-school Associate teacher, working at Devonshire and Park Road Elementary Schools four years. She then became a substitute teacher for CMS for another 17 years. She started the After School Learning Center with one student. She says, “The community had to see me prove myself, and I did. This year I have 10 students and I push them as hard as I can to do their homework and prepare themselves for their EOG’s. I work with children from four to thirteen years of age. “The parents and I discuss their child’s challenges and together we make a learning plan for them. We talk about their student’s needs and how to get them where they need to be..” “My father is a contractor
and built my basement as a self-contained space with a classroom, kitchen and restrooms. It is a perfect space for the After School Learning Center. “I have a 12-passenger van and pick-up my students from school and bring them to the learning center. I have a fee-friendly program and want to see the students succeed. I also feed the kids, because they can’t learn if they are hungry,” she says. Oates-Jones’ students aren’t the only ones who benefit from her health education background. “I’ve participated in various Health Fairs in the community and talked to people about living a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes folks have questions about diabetes and high cholesterol. I point them in the right direction and how to find the information they need.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Strive for that greatness of spirit that measures life not by its disappointments but by its possibilities.” –W.E.B. Di Bois
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Cozart The more I watch the changes in the COZART downtown area, the more curious I become about the businesses located there over time. I read the Herald archives located online at www.DigitalNC.com and am amazed by what can be learned. Newspapers are and excellent source of day-to-day news when other records are often lost. I’ve always been enamored with the Mauney Brothers Store and I know why. Pictures taken of the store from the early 1900’s show citizens standing in front of a building. They stand in a place I have walked and touched. I share memories from that place and feel a connection to it. I recently come upon a quandary regarding the Griffin Drug Center and it has me stumped. In his book, “Tracks Through Time,” Dave Baity shared the story of Griffin Drug
Company and E.W. Griffin, Sr., “Griffin bought the Carpenter Drug firm on Mountain Street in 1919. The first location for the store was adjacent to the present site… In 1953, Griffin bought the old Patterson Grocery next door and moved there.” This photo of Mountain Street was taken before the Mountain View Hotel was torn down in 1947. The hotel can be seen in the distance. In an article in the April 7, 1938 Herald, it was reported that the Hord Building, where Griffin’s was located, caught fire on Sunday April 3 and that the building and businesses there were heavily damaged. Most of the businesses, including the Home Savings and Loan next door, had to move due to smoke and water damage. Griffin’s temporarily moved to the Shulman Building on Mountain Street. When I look at the photograph provided in the Herald from 1938, the Hord Building is dated 1908 on the front of the building. So, the picture here was taken after the
A scene of Mountain Street, taken between 1938 and before the Mountain View Hotel was razed in 1947. Photo courtesy the Kings Mountain Historical Museum building had been rebuilt and then dated 1938. I have two quandaries then. First, where was the Shulman Building on Mountain Street? The second quandary is about Patterson’s Grocery. The future location of Griffin’s Drug Center is to the right of their store in
this picture - the Home Savings and Loan Building which was run by A. H. Patterson. Is it possible that Griffin’s moved to the location of the Home Savings and Loan and not Patterson’s Grocery? It could be possible that Patterson Grocery moved into the Home
Savings and Loan building. These are hard questions to answer, since city directories for this time period aren’t available and online deeds for Cleveland County begin in the 1960’s. If anyone knows the answer, please let me know. An interesting tidbit
I did learn was in that old 1938 Herald article. Kings Mountain once had a Piggly-Wiggly. I never knew. In the article, it was reported that Blalock’s Grocery moved to the “Fulton building on the corner of Cherokee Street, formerly occupied by Piggly Wiggly.”
…Lookin’ Out My Backdoor What’s really important – late February 2019 in America? By Greta Reo-Cooper
Looking back In the April 7, 1938 Kings Mountain Herald, Griffin’s Drug Store, “The Old Reliable” advertised a Fire Sale. The Sunday before, the Hord Building where the store was located had a fire in the upstairs doctor’s offices. Businesses in the building and next door suffered major smoke and water damage. Following the fire, Griffins relocated to the Schulman Building on Mountain Street. The Home Savings and Loan buiding next door suffered smoke and water damage and had to relocate. Eventually, Griffin’s moved to that location at 129 Mountain Street.
That blue Carolina sky will never get old, and in February, it reminds us constantly of why we traded Massachusetts for Kings Mountain. My husband, toddler, and mother and I relocated from New England eight months ago, and it’s at this time of year, in the dead of winter, that we feel most thankful. We know we made the right decision. When we moved in this past summer, we quickly realized that a pair of Red Shouldered Hawks already called our property home. Not a day goes by that we don’t hear them screeching in our suburban woods, or spy one, russet-bellied, perched atop a basketball hoop in the driveway, keeping watch for a tasty rodent (my mother wishes squirrel) to snatch up. But on a recent warm February day, returning home from a walk in the neighborhood with my two year old daughter, it was a pair of Red Tailed Hawks that flew from our backyard as we neared. They alighted dramatically, a blur of rust and white, and we watched as they soared into that endless blue sky. We’re glad to have two different pairs of hawks now, and wonder whether they will stick around when it’s time to breed. We enjoy a host of year-round birds here like the cinnamon-colored Brown Thrasher, Eastern Bluebirds, Eastern Towhees, and of course a large group of Northern Cardinals, North Carolina’s state

bird. The bird feeder regulars in our new backyard are showier than the usual bunch we had up north. Seeing my first Brown-Headed Nuthatch, a bird which only occurs in the Southeast, squeaking as it pecked at suet, was a fun life bird to add to my list. They’re a tame bunch, even tinier than chickadees, not a bit wary of us as we sit on the patio. The Gray Catbirds and Northern Mockingbirds that stick around all winter are a constant reminder that we’re in the south, and so are all of the shrubs and trees that have remained evergreen, their leaves a perfect hiding place for all of the birds. What a thrill to look out the window all winter at green leaves! The backyard is just beginning to tempt us this time of year, with a mix of mild days and raw days. But after a cool rain, the Chinese Honeysuckle smells most intoxicating, and to hear the faint whir of honeybees buzzing around its drapey blossoms puts a smile on any northerner’s face. Our neighbors’ daffodils burst open earlier this month, though everyone warned us then that more snow was in our future. My daughter has been collecting violets, both purple and white, that dot the lawn for the entire winter, and sneakily filling her bucket with coral-colored quince buds when I have my back turned. “Don’t look, mom,” she tells me, thrusting in a handful.

■ MEDITATION
The Love of God less a devotional article. What I would like to remind you of is this: Jesus loves you, and you are his treasure. Each of you are special to God. In fact, Jesus left the glories of heaven and made a way for you. Arguably the best-known verse in the Bible would be John 3:16. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” God’s love for us may be best described as covenantal love. Unlike some other types of conditional love, God proved his unconditional love for us in this, “even while we were
Through February, we revisited some of the greatest love stories of the bible. We looked at the rela- DR. JONATHAN tionships beM. BUNDON Worship Pastor tween David and Jonathan, First Baptist Church Ruth and Naomi, Priscilla and Aquilla. Today, I conclude the month by exploring the greatest love of all, God’s love for us. To be sure, the subject of God’s love cannot be adequately expressed in all the writings of the world, much
sinners; Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) God’s sacrificial love for us gives us an idea of how far His love goes. A popular song gives further evidence for God’s love. “You gave up a throne for a manger, traded a crown for a cross. Laid down your life for a stranger and for all who are broken and lost. You came down from the heavens so we would know, how deep, how high, how long, and how wide, and how far love goes.” Through Jesus, we now have the opportunity for eternal life. Not only do we have life eternal, but we have life abundant here on earth. For Christians, the love of Christ lives in you. Because of Christ living in us, we can love others beyond human standards 1 John 4:19-21 proclaims,
“We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.” My hope is that we will show God’s love to everyone. Remember, one of the simplest and yet most profound hymns says it best: “Jesus loves me! This I know. For the Bible tells me so; little ones to him belong; they are weak, but He is strong. Yes. Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so.”

Bible Verses Of The Week Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13

New display cases at the museum By Sarah Lynch Thanks to the generosity of the friends and family of Priscilla H. Mauney, Kings Mountain Historical Museum has two new exhibit cases purchased by money given in her memory. The Priscilla Mauney Memorial Fund, started in November 2017, was built up by community member donations for several months and a testament to Mauney’s dedication to the museum now stands in the form of two display cases. The museum is very excited for the steps towards the future that these cases begin. To all who helped make this possible, the museum gives a heartfelt Thank You!

Town and Country Garden Club meeting egg shells, seashells and oyster shells discourage moles and voles from eating bulbs. Also, it was noted that voles do not like daffodils, garlic and chives. Moles eat insects and voles eat bulbs. The newest club member, Teresa Fulton and her husband, Ken, presented a program on Hammerhead worms. This is the common name for flatworms in the Bipaliium genus. They are also known as Broadhead Planarians and are absolutely terrifying – and they look it. In addition to their alarming appearance, is the strange way they affect humans. Hammerhead worms may not attack humans directly, but they are considered invasive creatures in Europe and the United States, largely because they feed on earthworms.
The earthworm is essential for the healthy growth

your seventies, consider preparing yourself for a job that you can physically and mentally do late in life. Underground coal mining may not be for you when you are 75. However, working out of your home two days a week as a plumber or carpenter might be enjoyable. A friend of mine downsized his insurance agency but still takes care of a few clients a few mornings a week from his home. Find something that you enjoy doing. If you enjoy it then it doesn’t feel so much like work. Longevity? Life is short. We are just passing through this world. Life is a gift. All in all, our most valued possessions are being at peace with our souls and our Creator, spending time with our family and friends and guarding our health.

Friends and family back home cannot believe we have flowers blooming while their entire landscape is covered in snow and I don’t think they actually believe that we have lizards on the

Locals tell us that warmer days are around the corner, that this much rain isn’t normal; but we’ll take it, happily, because that gray Carolina sky is just as sweet as the blue one.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. What Is Heart Disease? When people talk about heart disease, they are usually talking about coronary heart disease (CHD). It’s also called coronary artery disease (CAD). This is the most common type of heart disease. When someone has CHD, the coronary arteries (tubes) that take blood to the heart are narrow or blocked. This happens when cholesterol and fatty material, called plaque build up inside the arteries. Plaque is caused by: • Too much fat and cholesterol in the blood • High blood pressure • Smoking • Too much sugar in the blood (diabetes) • When plaque blocks an artery, it’s hard for blood to flow to the heart. A blocked artery can cause chest pain or a heart attack The good news? Heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions. Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to create opportunities for people to make healthier choices. Make a difference in your community: Spread the word about strategies for preventing heart disease and encourage people to live heart healthy lives. How can American Heart Month make a difference? We can use this month to raise awareness about heart disease and how people can prevent it - both at home and in the community. Here are just a few ideas: • Encourage families to make small changes, like using spices to season their food instead of salt. • Motivate teachers and administrators to make physical activity a part of the school day. This can help students start good habits early. • Ask doctors and nurses to be leaders in their communities by speaking out about ways to prevent heart disease. You can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developing heart disease. Controlling and preventing risk factors is also important for people who already have heart disease. To help prevent heart disease, you can: • Eat healthy.
• Get active. • Stay at a healthy weight. • Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke. • Control your cholesterol and blood pressure. • Drink alcohol
only in moderation. • Manage stress. Am I at risk for heart disease? Everyone is at risk for heart disease. But you are at higher risk for heart disease if you: • Have high cholesterol or high blood pressure • Smoke • Are overweight or obese • Don’t get enough physical activity • Don’t eat a healthy diet • Your age and family history also affect your risk for heart disease. Your risk is higher if: You are a woman over age 55, You are a man over age 45, Your father or brother had heart disease before age 55, Your mother or sister had heart disease before age 65 Signs of Heart Attack A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is suddenly blocked. Part of the heart may die if the person doesn’t get help quickly. Some common signs of a heart attack include: • Pain or discomfort in the center or left side of the chest – or a feeling of pressure, squeezing, or fullness • Pain or discomfort in the upper body – like the arms, back, shoulders, neck, jaw, or upper stomach (above the belly button) • Shortness of breath or trouble breathing (while resting or being active) • Feeling sick to your stomach or throwing up • Stomach ache or feeling like you have heartburn • Feeling dizzy, light-headed, or unusually tired • Breaking out in a cold sweat Don’t ignore changes in how you feel. Signs of a heart attack often come on suddenly. But sometimes, they develop slowly – hours, days, or even weeks before a heart attack happens. Talk to your doctor if you feel unusually tired for several days, or if you develop any new health problems (like pain or trouble breathing). It’s also important to talk to your doctor if existing health issues (like pain) are bothering you more than usual. If you’ve had a heart attack in the past, it’s important to know that symptoms of a new heart attack might be different from your last one – so talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about how you feel. But the good news is there’s a lot you can do to prevent heart disease. For more information, visit healthfinder.gov.

They easily track the earthworms by following their trails, then they secrete a sticky fluid and hold the prey in place with their muscles. They’re hermophraditic, which means simultaneously male and female and can reproduce secually or asexually. They can grow up to 20 inches. They can not be destroyed by cutting or chopping them. That only causes them to become two or more. Orange oil found at Home-

We have many local actors performing, but two brothers and a friend drive from Denver, NC to Kings Mountain three times a week. Everyone has made a significant commitment to the success of this performance. “The professional quality of the set pieces and costumes makes this performance special. Seamstresses, set designers, electricians, musicians, and technicians have shared their skills to make Josephfun for the whole family,” Walega added. “One of the most interesting things patrons often don’t realize is that theater is a family affair. In this play alone, we have brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, siblings, and mothers and daughters performing. Theater has something
all members of the family can participate in and enjoy,” she said. The Joy Theater was purchased by Kings Mountain Little Theater in 2001 and opened with its first performance of Forever Plaid in November of that year. The theater took out two rows of seats and extended the stage. There are 268 seats available downstairs with four wheelchair spaces. Sixteen seats were added in the balcony. Kings Mountain Little Theater schedules at least one musical each year. KMLT is accepting coats in new or gently used condition throughout the performance of Joseph to donate to the Kings Mountain Crisis Assistance Ministry. Contact KMLT directly at 704-730-9408 for reservations. Performance Dates: March 8, March 9, March 15 and March 16 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday Matinees March 10 and 17 at 3 p.m.

glimpse of the past into the present day is one of love and labor- lots of labor. Briefly stated, the carrousel was originally owned by the James E. Strates Shows traveling carnival and amusement company. The City of Shelby bought it in 1951 for around six thousand dollars. It was taken apart and stored for a time under the grandstand at the Cleveland County fairgrounds where it narrowly avoided being destroyed in a fire. Years passed and the decision was made to finally resurrect the horses from their long slumber. Enter Tommy Forney. Forney had been injured in 1979 and needed a wheelchair for mobility. He had taken vocational rehab classes and learned woodworking and carving. The City of Shelby Parks and Rec. director at that time, Fain Hamrick, brought Forney on board to begin restoring the carrousel's horses and chariots. “A restoration workshop was set up in a locker room at the park gym,” said Forney. “A table was built that I could sit at while I worked on the carrousel.” Forney had his work cut out for him in doing the restoration. “Layer after layer of paint had to be stripped off,” he said. “Some of the horse's legs and tails were missing. Some parts were held on with rusty nails that had to be pulled.” Forney's vocational rehab courses came in handy. “The horses were like big pieces of furniture,” he said. “The bodies are basically a
box with the other pieces attached. We used basswood to make new parts. It carves real well.” The carrousel has 29 horses that were restored. Forney estimates it took at least sixty hours to finish each one. Forney also carved the carrousel's two chariots from scratch. Three of the horses are new. These were handmade by master woodcarver David Caldwell from Lawndale. Once the horses and chariots were done, they were given stunning paint jobs by three ladies- Alice Johnson, Nancy Haynes, and Brenda Lowery. The ladies also painted the scenic panels on top of the carrousel. Music for the carrousel is provided by an Artizan A-2 Military Band Organ dating to 1923. Shelby City Park Carrousel Friends, Incorporated, acquired the organ in 1997 to restore and use at the carrousel. This opportunity came about thanks to Mr. Lander Jenkins of Bessemer City who brought the instrument back from California in 1967 and kept it in working order at his former dairy farm outside of Gastonia. The organ works, playing beautiful tones from a Wurlitzer 125 size roll mechanism that was added at the Wurlitzer factory, replacing the original Artizan pressure pneumatics with the vacuum system common in most band organs and player pianos. The organ was repaired, with the vacuum pump, valves and pneumatics redone by Mr. Tony Marsico at his shop in Lincolnton. The carrousel was installed in the Shelby Armory in September, 1998 and a preview and ride was given
to members of the National Carrousel Association. The carrousel was then moved to its current location at the Anne Dover Bailey Pavilion and members of the public hopped aboard on October 17, 1998. The carrousel has been a hit ever since. It's also a popular attraction for special events like birthday parties. Last week, the Cheek family from Kings Mtn. was celebrating the birthday of son Adam. “The carrousel is a wonderful thing,” said mom Summer Cheek. “This is the fourth time we've had a birthday party here.” Carrousel operator Henry Hartley sees the smiles that the mechanical marvel generates. “I love to see the kids go crazy when they ride it,” he said. The carrousel is for kids of all ages. Bank employee Sharon Hodge of Belmont had this to say about the ride. “From the moment I climbed up on that horse and the music started, the stress and worries of everyday life melted away and I felt like a carefree kid again,” she said. “I plan on going to the carrousel with Alan many times. For fifty cents and a short drive, I can let my inner child be free.” For Forney, the carrousel is in many ways his artistic gift to anyone who wants to take a spin. “When I see the kids smile I feel great,” he said. “It renews my appreciation of everything it took to make it happen.” Want to know more about the Shelby Carrousel?

North Gaston scored the game’s first 25 points and went on to defeat Kings Mountain 58-48 in the championship game of the Big South 3A Conference basketball tournament Friday night at KM’s Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The North Gaston defense, which limited the Lady Mountaineers to one shot most of the night, didn’t give up a basket until Sarah Drennan hit a trey with 19 seconds left in the first quarter. The Lady Mountaineers fought back hard, but just could not erase such a huge deficit. Kings Mountain got to within four points (52-48) following a trey by freshman Saniya Wilson with 44.7 seconds remaining. The Lady Mountaineers’ only hope for victory was to put the Lady Wildcats on the foul line, and they hit five of six down the stretch to seal the win. It was North Gaston’s first win in four tries against KM’s Big South champions. KM had defeated the Wildcats in the East Lincoln Christmas tournament and twice in regular season Big South play. After the disastrous start the KM ladies rallied to make a game of it. Freshman Aaliyah Byers came off the bench to start the second quarter with a KM basket and by halftime the Lady Mountaineers had cut the difference to 37-16. North increased that margin to 39-16 in the opening 1:30 of the third quarter
KM teams at home in 3A state playoffs Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams opened play in the state 3A playoffs last night at Parker Gym and, if they won, will be at home again for a second round game Thursday. The third round will be played Saturday at the home of the higher seeded team. The Regional championship is March 9 in Hickory and the State championship March 16. Both Mountaineer teams are seeded fifth in the West bracket. The Lady Mountaineers were scheduled to open the playoffs with 28th seeded TC Roberson, and the Mountaineers were scheduled to face #28 Enka. If the locals won their openers, they could be facing some familiar opponents in the second round. Last night, the 12th seeded Hunter Huss Huskies were scheduled to host #21 Marvin Ridge. If KM is still alive, the winner of that game will be the second round opponent at KMHS. Kings Mountain, the regular season Big South champion, suffered its only conference loss to the Huskies but the Huskies came back to finish second and win the Big South tournament over Crest, which upset the Mountaineers in the semi-final game. If KM’s girls survived last night, they will host the winner of the North Gaston-Northern Guilford game. The Wildcats upset the Lady Mountaineers in the Big South tournament championship game. The top seed in the boys division is Southwest Guilford and the top seed in the girls division is Asheville Erwin. Other teams from the Big South qualifying for the playoffs are the Ashbrook boys and girls and Forestview girls. Ashbrook, the 29th seed, opened at #4 Charlotte Catholic and the Ashbrook girls were at Hickory. Forestview’s girls, the 29th seed, faced #4 Cuthbertson in the first round. If both KM and Forestview get past the first two rounds they would meet in round three at KM. but the Lady Mountaineers rallied again and were down by just nine, 42-33, following a long trey by Hannah Clark with two minutes left in the third. With North dominating
the boards on both ends of the court, the Mountaineers saw their visitors score the first eight points of the fourth quarter to go up 4933. See TOURNEY, Page 2B
Freshman Tate scores 41 but KM falls to Crest in OT Kings Mountain and Crest went to overtime for the second time in less than a week in Thursday’s semi-final game of the Big South 3A Tournament at KM’s Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. This time, though, it was the Chargers that prevailed 103-95 to eliminate the regular season champion Mountaineers and set up a championship game against Hunter Huss. The previous Friday at Crest, the Mountaineers broke the game open in overtime but this time it was the Chargers’ turn.
The Chargers’ Mari Adams scored in the opening seconds of the extra four-minute period to put the Chargers up 85-83 and Kings Mountain would never get back even. The visitors went on to lead 92-83 with 2:12 remaining before Zeke Littlejohn’s basket finally got the Mountaineers on the board. Eli Paysour’s follow shot cut the margin to 96-92 with 56.7 seconds remaining and the Mountaineers were forced to foul to try to stay in the game. Crest iced it at the charity stripe.
Despite the loss, Kings Mountain’s talented freshman Isaiah Tate put on a show that he won’t forget. His 41-point effort led all scorers and was just five points off the school record of 46 set in the 1970s by Butch Blalock. Tate canned seven treys and hit 8 of 9 free throws. Thirty of his points came in the second half and overtime Even though the Mountaineers led much of the game, they were at disadvantage as several of their starters spent more time on See TATE, Page 2B

KM girls declaw KINGS MOUNTAIN MOUNTAINEERS Jaguars 70-30 managed just seven points with all of them coming in the second half, including five in the fourth quarter. From their early 2-0 deficit, the KM ladies went on an eight-point run en route to an 18-8 lead at the end of the quarter. They built the lead to 34-12 at the half, already with enough points to win the game. KM coach Nicholas Inman, who had been playing most of the year with just eight players – just seven in the earlier win over Forestview – increased his roster to 12 following the completion of the JV season and nine of them got into the scoring act. Senior Hannah Clark led the way with 29 points, with See KM GIRLS, Page 2B

Kings Mountain’s pressing defense was too much for Forestview in Wednesday’s semi-final Big South tournament game at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The Lady Mountaineers saw the visiting Jaguars take a quick 2-0 lead but made sure that would be their last hoorah as the home team scored the next eight points and went on the win 70-30. Just eight days earlier, the Jaguars gave the Mountaineers all they could handle before the home team came away with a 45-41 win. Forestview guard Kenzley Dunlap, who scored 16 points on four threes and four free throws in their previous loss, was blanketed by the strong KM defense and

KM had a chance to trim the margin even more but went to the line three times without coming away with a point. Following a time out, the free throw situation improved with Niya Kelly hitting two and Clark one of two to cut North’s lead to 49-41 with 2:52 left. An old-fashioned three point play by Drennan with 58 seconds left trimmed the difference to 51-45, and after a North Gaston free throw Wilson canned her long three that cut the difference to 52-48 with 44.7 seconds left.

How to Choose a Good Home Stair Lift Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good stair lift companies? I have a difficult time getting up and down the stairs anymore and am interested in purchasing a stair lift for my house but could use some help choosing one. Arthritic Ann Dear Ann, A good home stair lift is an excellent solution for those with mobility challenges who have trouble with steps. A stair lift will carry you up and down the stairs in a safe seated position, providing easy access to the second story or basement level of your home. To help you choose a quality stair lift that meets your needs and budget, here are a few shopping tips, along with some top-rated companies that make them. Types of Lifts There are two basic types of stair lifts that are sold today: straight and curved. The type you need will depend upon the design of your staircase.
A straight stair lift is one that travels in a straight line up a flight of stairs uninterrupted by landings, bends or curves, and costs between $2,500 and $5,000 installed. Curved lifts, however, are much more elaborate and will go around corners, bends and changes in direction. Curved lifts are also much more expensive, typically running between $8,500 and $15,000 or more depending on the complexity of the installation. You also need to know that all stair lifts mount to the stair treads, not to the wall, so they are very sturdy and can be installed in almost any home. If you are a large person, you may need to get a heavy-duty lift with a wider seat and bigger lifting capacity – all companies offer them. Or, if you’re tall, find out about raising the seat height during installation. Most stair lifts available today also have seats, armrests and footplates that fold up out of the way, and swivel seats that make getting into and out of the chair easier. They also come with standard safety features like seatbelts,
breaking systems and footrest sensors, push-button or rocker-switch controls located on the armrest for easy operation, and “call send” controls which allow you to call or send the unit to the other end of the stairs. Make sure the lift you choose has all these features.
some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay. There are also many states that offer Medicaid waivers that will pay for lifts to those that qualify, and the VA offers cash grants to veterans with disabilities for home safety improvements.
Depending on the company, you may also have the option of choosing between an electric (AC) and a battery powered (DC) stair lift. Battery powered units charge at the base station (some recharge anywhere on the track) are quieter, smoother and better than electric lifts, and will work even if there’s a power failure in the home.
To save some money, you may want to consider purchasing a used or refurbished model. Or, if you need a stair lift for only a short period of time, consider renting one. Most companies offer these options, and many offer financing programs too.
Where to Shop While there are many companies that make and sell stair lifts, two of the best, based on reputation and customer satisfaction ratings, are Bruno (Bruno.com, 800-454-4355) and Stannah (Stannah-Stairlifts.com, 888465-7652). Unfortunately, original Medicare does not cover stair lifts nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but
To get started, contact some stair lift companies who will put you in touch with a dealer in your area. All dealers provide free in-home assessments and estimates and can help you choose an appropriate lift. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
7 ways newspapers benefit students Classrooms have come a long way since the days when pioneering settlers would send their children to single-room schoolhouses. Modern classrooms might be technical marvels, but one less flashy learning tool remains as valuable as ever. Newspapers might not be as glamorous as tablets or other gadgets, but they are still an invaluable resource to educators and students. The following are seven ways in which newspapers in the classroom can benefit students. 1. Newspapers build vocabulary. Numerous studies have found that reading can improve youngsters’ vocabulary. Each day, newspapers are filled with fresh stories that can introduce kids to new words, helping them to strengthen their vocabularies and make them more effective communicators. 2. Newspapers improve reading skills. Like the old adage says, “Practice makes perfect.” Reading newspapers each day can help kids develop
their reading and comprehension skills. 3. Newspapers promote critical thinking. Newspaper reporters are trained to objectively report the news, sharing facts without allowing their own opinions to influence their stories. Educators can choose stories from the newspaper to serve as catalysts for discussions that focus not just on the facts listed in the story, but what might be behind them. Such discussions can help youngsters develop their critical thinking skills. 4. Newspapers bring ideas and current events to life. Many children are aware of major world events, even if they don’t know or understand the details. Newspaper articles about world events can be used as avenues to discussions about what’s going on in the world. 5. Newspapers build global awareness. Customized newsfeeds funneled through social media outlets can make it hard for young people to recognize and understand the world be-
yond their own communities and interests. Each days, newspapers include local, national and international stories that can illustrate to kids that there’s a world beyond their own. 6. Newspapers promote social consciousness. Without newspapers, young people may

Even though a friend took me on my first turkey hunt, my first kill came while hunting alone. That morning I remember GARY MILLER that my tools of the trade amounted to a Lynch box call and a ten-gauge H and R shotgun. No slate calls and definitely no mouth calls. I can also remember moving from place to place on this farm without having much confidence. Late in the morning I made my way to an area that was known to hold deer. I crossed a hay field and crawled under a barbed wire fence before giving that box call another go. As soon as I slid the lid of that call across the box, I heard a turkey to my left. I didn’t even recognize at the time that it was a jake. But it really didn’t matter to me. My heart started beating like I was drawing my bow back on a deer, but this was even stronger because of its newness. The turkey came running and soon was in front of me. It couldn’t see me, however, because of a log that was lying parallel to the ground. I could see its legs as it walked but I wasn’t able to shoot until it cleared the log. In a few seconds it was over. I’m so grateful that someone took me on my first turkey hunt. I watched, listened, and soaked in as much information as I could. And even though the excitement ran high, I knew I had to temper it in order to learn. My guide would not always be with me. As in most areas of our life, there comes a time when we must step out from the security of the teacher and into the risky business of going alone. It can be a time of trial and error, but it is nevertheless necessary if we are going to stretch ourselves into new and exciting arenas. I think about my daughter. When she was a young teenager, she would get a cookbook and try to recreate the delicacy on the page. If she didn’t know what a particular ingredient was, or if we didn’t have it, she would substitute it with something of her choosing. Many times, maybe even most of the time, the results were not that good. But what I was most proud of was the fact that she was not satisfied to set on the sideline until someone helped her. She decided she would try it on her own. Friends, some of you have had the best teacher, but now it’s time to go out alone. If you keep letting the fear of failure stop you, you’ll never get the opportunity to see if failure itself stands a chance against you.

moved from the cabinets and pantry and discarded, wipe down the interior of the spaces before installing fresh shelf paper. If the critters didn’t make their presence known in the cabinets, that doesn’t mean they haven’t made your kitchen home over the winter. Some might have opted to spend their winters behind appliances, including the stove and the refrigerator. As a result, it’s best to pull these appliances off the wall each spring, sweeping or vacuuming the dust and crumbs you find before mopping the floors.

Spring cleaning is a ritual in many homes, though some might be forgetting to address an area of their homes that can be especially vulnerable to insect infestations. According to PestWorld.org, kitchen cabinets and pantries used to store spices and baking items, such as flour, can make for inviting hideouts for various types of pests. These unwelcome guests include beetles, Indian meal moths and ants. To remedy this issue or prevent insects from becoming an issue, discard stale spices or dated baking items. Once such items have been re-

From the ashes of tragedy, family finds loving kindness by Pat Jobe Special to Community First Media
Tragic death breaks hearts. Loving kindness puts hearts back together. When Shelby’s Ed Cushman died in a fire on the way to this year’s Super Bowl, his family lost a beloved son and brother, but came to a deep understanding of how loving kindness works. Ed’s brother, Rob, did all he could to save him, living through burns to his own right hand, right leg, and right knee, but “suddenly there was a presence behind me, letting me know I had done all I could. An angel or something took over my body for about 30 seconds. All I could do at that point was get everybody else away in case the van exploded.” Ed was in a motorized wheelchair which became locked in place when the electrical system failed due to the fire. Rob tried three times from three different angles to free his brother, but ulti-
mately could not. Their father, Bert Cushman, jumped from a car that was following his sons and tried to help with the rescue, but ended up falling, as Rob put it, “I guess he forgot he had a stroke and couldn’t walk without a walker.” Bert’s stroke happened only a few weeks before the tragedy. Ed was 39 years old. He was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, two years ago, but had been in declining health for four years leading up to that. He lived in Shelby with his parents, Bert and Joy Cushman as he battled the disease. “He was riding shotgun,” Rob said as he recalled the accident. “The van began to shake violently. I thought I had a flat tire. As soon as we pulled over and started looking, there was smoke and within seconds flames.” In the wake of the rescue effort, the loving kindness started pouring forth. “The people in Lavonia, GA, were just unbelievably kind. It was an outpouring of love.”
Rob had high praise for EMS personnel, state troopers, hospital staff at St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital. “Some anonymous person even paid for the motel room that night,” Rob said. Rob and Ed’s mother, Joy, who was in the car behind with their father, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the love they received in Georgia and the family and friends who have rallied round since. Bert’s sisters and brothersin-law gathered the family the next day and transported them home. They’re Craig and Lorin Weaver and Julie and Jeff Joyce. Joy’s sister, Emma Richardson has come from Columbus, MS, to help out. Joy has played the organ at Shelby Presbyterian for more than 40 years and the church has been critical to the family’s wellbeing during these hard times. The church’s pastor, Luke Harkey and former pastor, Fred Rose have been on hand and offered critical care.
Ed Cushman (left) with his brother, Rob, who tried to rescue him Joyce Boyette has coordinated meals even before the Super Bowl tragedy. “Both Bert, with his stroke, and Ed, with an infection, have been in and out of the hospital and in rehab, so the church has been bringing meals for weeks and continues to do so. However many people I have needed to feed, the church has been there,”
Ed Cushman with his nephew Caden and niece Lia
Glass sculpture exhibit coming to DSBG Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is thrilled to celebrate its 20th anniversary with the announcement of an awe-inspiring, larger-than-life botanical glass exhibit, Grandiflora: Gamrath Glass at the Garden, opening Fri., May 24. Guests will be mesmerized this summer by dozens of vibrant sculptures by Seattle-based artist Jason Gamrath (pictured) including towering 10-foot orchids, vivid pitcher plants, energetic Venus flytraps and more. The immensity of Gramrath’s botanical works captivates audiences and calls attention to the beauty of normally tiny details within the natural world. A Seattle area native, Gramrath began studying glass sculpting at the young age of 15 and has worked and trained with many renowned artists including Preston Singletary, Karen Willenbrink, Richard Royal, Ross Richmond and Sally Prasch. His work is collected internationally and
the pieces on display at the Garden will also be available for purchase. “The purpose of creating this series on a macro scale is to bring to light the beauty that exists within the micro scale of nature,” said Gamrath. “It is my hope that when people admire my large-scale renderings, they become curious and captivated by the hints of realism I incorporate into my designs. I encourage people to attempt to observe with the same eyes through which I humbly and graciously experience our natural world.” Guests can experience this unique exhibit daily May 24 through Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and also in the evenings Thursdays through Sundays May 30 through Sept. 29 from 6 to 10 p.m. with the exception of June 16 when the Garden will be closed for a private event. Admission to the Garden and exhibit is $14.95 per adult, $12.95 per senior ages 60 and up, $7.95 per child
Photo provided by Jason Gramrath ages 2 through 12, free for children under age 2, and free for Garden Members from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. while Members receive a 30% discount on admission for evenings from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets will be available at
the door for daytime admission and both online and at the door for evening admission. For more information, call (704) 8254490 or visit www.DSBG. org.
Joy said. Was Ed’s faith a solace to him over the six years of his illness? Rob said, “At first, I think he really struggled with it, but especially in these past two years, it has really helped.” Rob and his wife, Alena, operate the Palmer Children’s Home just south of Memphis. They have two children of their own. “Ed loved his niece and nephew,” Joy said. He graduated from Shelby High School where he played tennis and ran cross country. His brother said of him that he was “Funny, athletic, could light up any room he was in.” Until his illness cost him is ability to work he served in environmental health in both Scotland and Richland counties. He enjoyed rescuing animals. When he began to suffer the symptoms of ALS, he was determined to beat it, according to his brother, did lots of exercise and took medication intended to slow or reverse the symptoms. “In the last year, he has not been as passionate about his ability to beat the disease,” Rob said. Joy says the grief has left her not able to be herself. “I have someone tell me that I need to do something and I intend to do it, but then something else comes along and I forget the first thing.” The family expressed deep appreciation for the many acts of loving kindness, food, cards, emails, texts, and Facebook messages from people

all over the country. Rob said his family is feeling some relief that Ed is no longer suffering from ALS and that he is in a better place. Family friend and fellow member of Shelby Presbyterian, Bill Jobe, said, “They are just such good people. It’s tough that they have had to deal with all this for so long. They are just such wonderful people.” The Super Bowl tickets were paid for by the Team Gleason Foundation, which was started by former New Orleans Saints standout Steve Gleason. Gleason is best known for his 2006 blocked punt against the Atlanta Falcons in the first home game the Saints played after Hurricane Katrina. The Saints went on to upend the Falcons 31-21 in that game. The foundation promotes research into cures for ALS, but also research into other neuromuscular diseases and special experiences for patients who have ALS. Ed Cushman wrote to the foundation back in July and received the tickets after submitting an essay to the foundation. Gleason left the NFL in 2011 after learning of his own diagnosis of ALS. Memorials for Ed Cushman may be made to The Team Gleason Foundation (teamgleason. org) or to Shelby Presbyterian Church, Post Office Box 1444, Shelby, North Carolina 28151, to the Member Care Committee Fund or the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund.

Event offers escape from cabin fever It’s that time of year – winter doldrums have set in and the four walls seem to be closing in all around. Spring seems to be far in the future as the gray days of late February and early March seem to stretch on and on. In the midst of this dreariness, the Cleveland County Master Gardeners (CCMG) are offering the group’s second annual garden symposium. Appropriately titled “Cabin Fever,” the event is scheduled for Saturday, March 2, 2019, from 8 a.m. - 3:45 p.m. in the Student Activities Center at Cleveland Community College in Shelby. This year’s theme is “Gardening in Your Backyard.” “Our classes and activities are aimed at reducing the winter chill and getting folks ready for spring,” says Bill Cameron, president of the CCMG. “Novice as well as expert gardeners will enjoy educational topics that will engage and awaken us from our ‘Cabin Fever.’” A wide variety of presenters will be featured at the symposium:
Dr. Lee Reich will be the keynote speaker for the symposium. Dr. Reich is a “farmdener,” author and consultant. He first got interested in gardening more than 40 years ago, working as an agricultural scientist with the USDA and with Cornell University. He also developed a personal interest in organic farming, leading him eventualůLJ ƚŽ ĚĞǀĞůŽƉ ŚŝƐ ŽǁŶ ͞ĨĂƌŵĚĞŶ͟റ;ŵŽƌĞ than a garden, less than a farm). He then left academia to lecture, consult and write.
Dr. Bodie Pennisi will be offering presentations titled “What’s All the Buzz About?” and “Flavor, Fragrance, and Medicine from the Garden.” Dr. Pennisi is a professor and a statewide extension landscape specialist for the University of Georgia’s horticulture department. She teaches college undergraduate and graduate courses and serves on the boards of several statewide industry groups. She also serves as a scientific advisor to the board of the national non-profit organization Green Plants for Green Buildings.
Jim Kunkle will offer a presentation titled “Birds in the Backyard.” Kunkle’s love of drawing, painting, photography and wildlife led him to volunteer as the Cleveland County Bluebird Coordinator after recently retiring from an architectural career of 40 years. Kunkle is an avid artist whose current mediums includes pen and ink, watercolor, and photography. He recently won an award at the RCVAG Gallery in Rutherfordton for a photo of a great blue heron.

He holds a master’s degree in entomology and a Ph.D. in horticulture, both from the University of Georgia. He is also the author of five books on gardening and the environment and is a contributing editor to Fine Gardening Magazine.
Dr. Jim Barilla, will be offering a presentation on “Lessons from Backyard Wildlife Gardening.” Dr. Barilla is an associate professor of English language and literature at the University of South Carolina. He is the author of two nonfiction books, including his latest, My Backyard Jungle: The Adventures of an Urban Wildlife Lover Who Turned His Yard into Habitat and Learned to Live with It, which considers the habitat of a typical urban yard in light of what’s happening with wildlife in burgeoning cities like Delhi and Rio de Janeiro.
Dr. Jeffrey Gillman will be offering presentations on “The Truth about Organic Gardening” and “The Plants We

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
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

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 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

Keystone Powdered Metals’ employees see PINK in Breast Cancer fight by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com

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
