Brinkley challenges Moore for NC House Seat 111 Eric Greenway, the city’s director of planning and zoning, speaks at a public hearing before city council approved an overlay district in the one mile perimeter of the city.

Overlay District approved City Council took the recommendation of the zoning board last Tuesday and approved an overlay district in the one mile perimeter of the city. Eight property owners spoke against the zoning change, charging there were no advantages to changes in the outside perimeter of the city. Eric Greenway, Planning Director, said the Thoroughfare Protection District would enhance the safety of those living in the extra-territorial jurisdiction (one-mile perimeter) by establishing requirements for those wanting to develop and bring businesses to the area. “The ordinance prohibits some commercial uses that will be prohibited, including
adult-oriented businesses, pawn shops, drive-in theaters, automobile wrecking, junk yards, flea markets, amusement video game arcades, vehicles, trucks or automobiles used as signs, Internet cafes and businesses, including retail, with sweepstakes gaming machines and the like,’’ said Greenway. The state standard for driveways and other points of thoroughfare access is a part of the ordinance. Public hearing will be held March 27 at 6 p.m. on a map of the Thoroughfare Protection District which the zoning board will ask council to approve. “This is really a guide to shape the development of the Greater Kings Mountain area,’’ said Mayor Scott Neisler, which protects the area
for future development. He responded to several speakers who said “we don’t want the city to tell us what to do with our property.” Another speaker said council should keep the area residents informed about everything and specifically whether or not a casino could be coming to the area. “The federal government is the authority on a casino, not the city,’’ the mayor responded. “Looks to me like it’s (the casino) has turned into a political football,’’ said another speaker. Councilman Howard Shipp, the only councilman voting against the “zoning ordinance text amendment for Article VI overlay districts,’’ said “We don’t know See OVERLAY, Page 5A
Sheriff says to school threats
We will charge to the fullest Sheriff Alan Norman said this week in the wake of threats in February at three of the high SHERIFF schools in NORMAN the county that “we will charge to the fullest extent of the law anyone who communicates threats of violence toward the school environment.” The most recent threat of violence came at Burns High
School. On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Cleveland County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a 16-yearold male Burns High School student and charged him with false report of mass violence on educational property, a felony, and six counts of disorderly conduct. He was jailed on a $20,000 bond. The student allegedly wrote threatening messages on a restroom wall, specifically targeting certain teachers and then announcing an intent to carry out a school shooting. An investigation by school officials and law enforcement found the source
of the threat. On Feb. 19 a male posted on social media that he was “thinking about shooting up Shelby High.” He is now being evaluated at a mental health facility. On Feb. 15, Cleveland County Sheriff’s deputies charged a 15-year-old male Crest High School student with false report of mass violence on educational property, a felony, through the Division of Juvenile Justice. “We want the citizens to know that if they see something suspicious, they should See SCHOOL THREATS, Page 5A

H i s family and supporters joined D a v i d Brinkley, owner of Brinkley Properties DAVID of Kings BRINKLEY Mountain, as he filed last Tuesday afternoon at the Board of Elections to challenge five-term Republican Tim Moore for N. C. House Seat 111 in the November election. Moore, Kings Mountain lawyer, is serving a second year as N. C. Speaker of the House. Filing for the 2018 election ended at noon last Wednesday with 26 running for seats representing Cleveland County. Seven
new candidates filed for Cleveland County races since the first week of filing. Brinkley, in a filing speech, said his reason for running for the House Seat is because he is concerned with “the divisiveness in our legislature and voter suppression which is not the American way.” He said there are so many issues that need to be addressed including teacher and law enforcement salaries. His campaign, which kicked off with his filing on last Tuesday, is a blend of the red party, the blue party and unaffiliated “for the betterment of the citizens of Cleveland County.” His team is “Team Purple.” “In Raleigh they reported the average teacher pay is
$51,000. I challenge you to find educators in Cleveland County District 111 that are averaging $51,000. The law enforcement officers’ pay is even worse. It is time we started concentrating on paying the people that are educating our children and grandchildren and protecting our lives. Their responsibilities seem to grow more every year with no pay increases. They claim pay increases in Raleigh, but they fail to tell you about additional health insurance and other insurance premiums having to contribute to the pension plan and averaging their longevity to count as a pay raise. The $51,000 average salary is a result of supplements from large school See BRINKLEY Page 4A

He added, “Citizens can help in the fight by calling 704-484-4987 and providing information on drug dealers in their neighborhood.”
Hargett accused of murder Melinda Ann Hargett, 29, of 2041-2A Stony Point Road, Shelby, was charged with the murder of her mother, Martha Hargett, 51, of 2041-2A Stony Point Road, Shelby, by Cleveland County deputies Friday, March 2. Responding to a 911 call officers were on the way to
the residence when another 911 call came from a woman who said someone was trying to kill her. Sheriff Alan Norman said that deputies arrived on the scene to find an older woman lying in the front yard while a second younger woman came out of the residence brandishing a meat
cleaver. At gunpoint, deputies ordered the woman to put down the weapon numerous times before she finally complied. Melinda Hargett was jailed without bond in the Cleveland County Detention Center and has since been transferred to Central Prison in Raleigh, the Sheriff said.
Remains of missing woman found A 10-year-old cold case of a missing Upper Cleveland County woman was solved Feb. 17 when two rabbit hunters found human remains off East Stagecoach Trail and Sheriff Alan Norman said the discovery will give closure to the family. The State Medical Examiner’s Office in Charlotte identified the remains on Feb. 17 as Mouy T. Tang, who disappeared in Sep-
tember 2008 from Unique Living assisted care in Lawndale. The medical examiner found no evidence of foul play and the Sheriff’s Office is treating this as an accidental death. ‘’After all these years we have held out hope that Ms. Tang would be reunited safely with her family. Unfortunately, that did not happen,’’ said Sheriff Alan Norman.
Norman said in a news release, “Since the beginning of this case, the Tang family has done everything in their power to assist in the return of their loved one. After much hard work, the family was instrumental in the closure of Unique Living Rest Home, which had been the target of many community complaints over the years of its operation,’’ he said.

The amendment, as adopted, establishes limitations on items such as the number of camping units, RVs, campers, tents, per camp site; requires that RV park roads and access meet the standards of the fire code; efficient enforcement by zoning and code enforcement officials by requiring that Rvs are to “maintain current reg-
istration and tags” and sets standards for rest room facilities based upon the number of campsites rather than the number of women and men anticipated/planned for. In other actions, Council authorized the mayor to sign a contract with N- Focus, Inc. for planning services at cost of $24,681.96 and contract and memorandum of understanding with Cleveland County Schools for three School Resource Officers for a term beginning Jan. 15, 2018 through Jan. 14, 2021 with officers assigned full time to Kings Mountain High School, Kings Mountain Middle School and Kings Mountain Intermediate School and Elementary Schools. The city will pay 10 months of base salary and benefits, plus $1000 for uniforms, $2500 for vehicle maintenance and liability insurance and $1000 for training for each officer. The contract shall not exceed
$132,845 during its term. Council also approved a resolution amending the John H. Moss Reservoir fee schedule to remove the $1 permit fee for non-motorized vessels as recommended by the Moss Lake Commission; approved a $16,412 budget revenues and expenditures for the Mauney Library digitization grant in the amount of $3,712 and Facebook grant in the amount of $12,700; approved budget amendment in the amount of $450,000 increasing the budget for stop loss fees actually received for expenditures in the health insurance fund with no additional funds requested. Council okayed request from Allen Crotts to hold a non-charity/non-profit Saturday Bass Tournament from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. beginning the first Saturday after approval through Oct. 6, 2018.

say something,’’ said Norman, adding, “In this case several concerned students stepped forward, reporting they had overheard the suspect make threatening statements.” Since the shooting at Parkland, Florida high school on Feb. 14, there has been a nationwide trend of students communicating threats against schools. According to the Sheriff, the common reply from suspects when charged is that they were just playing a prank or simply trying to create a panic. “We are focused on providing a safe learning environment for our students and school staff through a variety of measures.

includes making examples of those who are involved in trying to terrify students, staff and parents,’’ said the Sheriff. He strongly encourages parents to have conversations with their children about not making reckless statements, social media posts, or any form of communications they threaten school violence in any manner. What they may see as a prank could have wide-ranging consequences for them, including criminal charges and expulsion from school, the Sheriff said. Norman said students planning to attend college will likely have a difficult time being accepted into any credible institution once they have a felony false report of mass violence on educational property on their record.

■ MEDITATION
Lenten Season: Time to reflect By Pastor John Houze Peoples Baptist Church As we enter into this Lenten season, we are provided with opportunities for reflection, repentance, remembrance and for love. It’s a time to take an honest look at our spiritual health. We can also see the importance of this in our physical health. Recently, during a routine colon exam, I was diagnosed with cancer. What was surprising is I was full of energy and feeling great. There were no physical symptoms indicating something was wrong. Surgery to remove the can-
cer was successful and my recovery period was filled with a deeper understanding that God is still sovereign. I also had time to catch up on current world events. It was troubling to see how the body of Christ has gotten engulfed in divisive political rhetoric from the pulpit to the pew. Psalms 11:3 states, “If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?” Our country was founded upon biblical principles that have been selectively misused to bring change through one political party or another. It grieves me to hear religious leaders say God was
not “in” when their chosen candidate is not elected and proceed ask believers to pray Psalm 109 (that he die and another take his place). But when their candidate wins they adamantly say this is of God and want the same believers pray l Tim 2: l-2 (pray for all that are in authority). God is Sovereign forever, regardless of winners and losers. God is holy, not Republican nor Democrat. We must remember as believers we are called to be salt and light. Let us not lose our flavor. As true believers we are to proclaim the gospel, not protest the
government. In 1 Cor. 9: 1 6 it states, “Woe unto me if I preach not the gospel”. I may be affiliated with one party and you with another, that is our choice, but as believers we are required to be Christians, and this is not optional, if we are truly followers of Christ. As our walk leads us to the Cross, we may not always agree. We can even disagree without becoming disagreeable (if you are married you can understand this). I have witnessed family relationships strain under the weight of political disparities. How many of us
have distanced ourselves from family, friends and acquaintances due to political disagreements. We have become so entangled in public consensus that there is no room for personal conviction. Let’s pull out of this political tidal- wave and go into our prayer closets for a spiritual checkup. We love our country and should not let the blessings of a democracy become a breeding ground for bitterness. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” Let this be a season for repentance. Jesus” said not my will thy will be done “Be Blessed!

Women’s Suffrage and the 19th Amendment By Loretta Cozart
On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann, a Republican from Illinois and chairman of the Suffrage Committee, proposed the House resolution to approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote. The bill passed the House 304-89. The 19th amendment was ratified on August 18, 1920 and American women were given the right to vote - a right known as woman’s suffrage. Many women suffered greatly for this cause, bringing attention to a woman’s desire to have the right to vote and be treated equally to men. Efforts began prior to the Civil War, but were set aside during the war years and, in 1869, the National Woman Suffrage Movement was organized. Not until 1848 did the movement for women’s rights begin to organize at the national level. In July of that year, reformers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the first women’s rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York (where Stanton lived). More than 300 people—mostly women, but also some men—attended, including former African-American slave and activist Frederick Douglass. In addition to their belief that women should be afforded better opportunities for education and employment, most of the Seneca Falls delegates agreed that American women were autonomous individuals who deserved their own political identities. A group of delegates led by Stanton, produced a “Declaration of Sentiments” document, modeled after the Declaration of Independence, which stated: “We declare these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are empowered by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, autonomy, and the quest of happiness.” What this signified, among other things, was that the delegates believed women should have the right to vote. Following the convention, the idea of voting rights for women was mocked in the press and some delegates with-
drew their support for the Declaration of Sentiments. Still, Stanton and Mott persisted– they moved on to spearhead additional women’s rights conferences and they were finally united in their advocacy work by Susan B. Anthony and other activists. With the onset of the American Civil War, the suffrage movement lost some momentum, as many women turned their attention to assisting in efforts related to the conflict between the states. After the war, woman suffrage endured another setback, when the women’s rights movement found itself divided over the issue of voting rights for black men. Stanton and some other suffrage leaders objected to the proposed 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which would give black men the right to vote, but neglected to cover the same privilege to American women of any skin color. In 1869, Stanton and Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) with their goal set on a federal constitutional amendment that would give women the right to vote. That same year, abolitionists Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell founded the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA); the group’s leaders supported the 15th Amendment and feared it would not pass if it included voting rights for women. (The 15th Amendment was signed in 1870.) The AWSA believed that change could best be made through amendments to individual state constitutions. Despite the variances between the two systems, there was a victory for voting rights in 1869 when the Wyoming Territory granted all female residents age 21 and older the right to vote. (When Wyoming was admitted to the Union in 1890, woman suffrage remained part of the state constitution.) By 1878, the NWSA and the collective suffrage movement had gathered enough influence to lobby the U.S. Congress for a constitutional amendment. Congress reacted by organizing committees in the House and Senate to study and consider the matter. Even so, when the proposal finally
reached the Senate floor in 1886, it was defeated. In 1890, the NWSA and the AWSA merged to organize the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). The new organization’s strategy was to lobby for women’s voting rights on a state-by-state basis. Within six years, Colorado, Utah and Idaho adopted amendments to their state constitutions granting women the right to vote. In 1900, with Stanton and Anthony advancing in age, Carrie Chapman Catt stepped up to lead the NASWA. The turn of the 20th century brought momentum to the woman suffrage cause. Although the deaths of Stanton in 1902 and Anthony in 1906 looked to be setbacks, the NASWA under the leadership of Catt achieved rolling successes for women’s right to vote at state levels. Between 1910 and 1918, the Alaska Territory, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington all extended voting rights to women. During this time, through the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women (later, the Women’s Political Union), Stanton’s daughter Harriot Stanton Blatch (1856-1940) introduced parades, pickets and marches as a means of calling attention to the cause. These tactics succeeded in raising

awareness and led to unrest in Washington, D.C. On the evening of the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson in 1913, protesters attended a massive suffrage parade in the nation’s capital, and hundreds of women were injured. That same year, Alice Paul established the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, which subsequently became the National Woman’s Party. The organization staged numerous demonstrations and regularly picketed the White House, among other tactics considered by many to be militant. Because of these actions, some group members were arrested and served jail time. In 1918, President Wilson switched his stand on women’s voting rights from objection to support through the influence of Catt, who
had a less-combative style than Paul. Wilson also tied the proposed suffrage amendment to America’s involvement in World War I and the increased role women had played in the war efforts. When the amendment came up for a vote, Wilson addressed the Senate in favor of suffrage. As reported in The New York Times on October 1, 1918, Wilson said, “I regard the extension of suffrage to women as vitally essential to the successful prosecution of the great war of humanity in which we are engaged.” However, despite Wilson’s newfound support, the amendment proposal failed in the Senate by two votes. Another year passed before Congress took up the measure again. On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann, a Republican from Illinois and president of the Suffrage Committee, advised the House resolution to approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women
the right to vote. The measure passed the House 304-89—a full 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority. Two weeks afterwards, on June 4, 1919, the Senate passed the 19th Amendment by two votes over its twothirds required majority, 56-25. The amendment was then sent to the states for ratification. Within six days of the ratification cycle, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin each ratified the amendment. Kansas, New York and Ohio followed on June 16, 1919. By March of the following year, a total of 35 states had approved the amendment, one state shy of the twothirds required for ratification. Southern states were opposed to the amendment, however, and seven of them—Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia—had already refused it before Tennessee’s vote on August 18, 1920. The outlook appeared
bleak, given the events in other Southern states and made the position of Tennessee’s state legislators in their 48-48 draw. The state’s decision came down to 23-yearold Representative Harry T. Burn, a Republican from McMinn County, to cast the deciding vote. Although Burn opposed the amendment, his mother convinced him to sanction it. Mrs. Burn reportedly wrote to her son: “Don’t forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the ‘rat’ in ratification.” With Burn’s vote, the 19th Amendment was ratified. Certification by U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby followed on August 26, 1920. On November 2 of that same year, more than 8 million women across the U.S. voted in elections for the first time. It took over 60 years for the remaining 12 states to ratify the 19th Amendment. Mississippi was the last to do so, on March 22, 1984.

Are You At Risk? If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, your odds of developing diabetes increases. • Are you over age 45? • Are you overweight? • Do you have high blood pressure – 140/90 or higher? • Do you have a parent or sibling with diabetes? • Are you sedentary? • Are you African American, Hispanic/Latino American, Native American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or Alaska native? • Did you develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy?
The problem with diabetes is that most people don’t start thinking about it until they’re diagnosed, and that’s too late. Diabetes is a disease that develops over decades. Most people have prediabetes for a long time before the disease becomes full-blown type 2 diabetes, and even then it progresses gradually. That leaves a big window in which to stop, slow or reverse the disease. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to
To help you determine your risk of developing diabetes, take the free online quiz at Diabetes.org/risk-test.jsp.
Get Tested If you find that you’re at risk for diabetes, there are three different tests your doctor can give you to diagnosis it. The most common is the “fasting plasma glucose test,” which requires an eight-hour fast before you take it. There’s also the “oral glucose tolerance test” to see how your body processes sugar, and the “hemoglobin A1C test” that measures your average blood sugar over the past three months. It can be taken anytime regardless of when you ate. Most private health insurance plans and Medicare cover diabetes tests, however, if you’re reluctant to visit your doctor to get tested, an alternative is to go to the drug store, buy a blood glucose meter and test yourself at home. Some top options, recommended by Consumer Reports, include FreeStyle Freedom Lite, Bayer Contour Next, True Metrix Blood Glucose Meter, OneTouch UltraMini, and the ReliOn (Wal-Mart) Micro, which all cost under $25.
If you find that you are prediabetic or diabetic, you need to see your doctor to develop a plan to get it under control. In many cases lifestyle changes like losing weight, exercising, eating a healthy diet and cutting back on carbohydrates may be all you need to do to get your diabetes under control. For others who need more help, many medications are available. For more information on diabetes or to find help, join a lifestyle change program recognized by the CDC (see CDC.gov/diabetes/prevention) that offers in-person and online programs in more than 1,400 locations throughout the U.S. Over the course of a year, a coach will help you eat healthy, increase your physical activity and develop new habits.

Adrian Delph led KM High in scoring with 673 points during the 2017-18 season.
Appalachian State-bound Adrian Delph was the statistical leader for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers in their recently-completed 2017-18 basketball season. The Mountaineers, who fell to Greensboro’s Ben L. Smith in the third round of the state 3A playoffs, ended their season with a 24-6 overall record and the Big South 3A Conference regular season and tournament championships. Delph led the scoring with 673 points and a 22.4 point per game average, assists with 184 (6.1 per game), 3-point field goals (69 of 159), rebounds 306 (10.2 per game), steals 86 and was second in blocked
shots with 24. Junior Zeke Littlejohn, who with Delph topped the 1,000 point mark for his KMHS career, was second in scoring with 493 points (16.4 ppg), led the teams in blocks with 26, was third in rebounds (159), and fourth in steals with 43. Junior Eli Paysour gave the Mountaineers three double-digit scorers with 387 points, an average of 14.3 points in 27 games. He got a late start after helping lead the Mountaineer football team to the Big South 3A title and three rounds in the state playoffs.

Spring sports get underway Kings Mountain High’s spring sports will get into full swing this week after opening on a limited basis last week. Most games were affected by the rain, but the Mountaineers were still able to get started in golf, baseball, softball and women’s soccer. BASEBALL Jordan Lathe’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted the South Point Red Raiders over the Mountaineers 8-5 in both teams’ opener in Belmont. Kings Mountain led 2-0 after two innings and 5-4 after five before the Raiders scored in the bottom of the sixth to knot things up.

Last year’s 3A individual medalist Alex Goff, who recently signed with the Kentucky Wildcats, leads the KMHS golf team into the 2018 season.
After losing three experienced starters off last year’s team, Kings Mountain High’s golfers probably won’t be favored to win the Big South 3A Conference but veteran coach Kevin Moss hopes they will improve as the season goes on and make a run by the end of the year. The Mountaineers, who opened their season last week with a third place finish in the Big South’s opening match at Cramer Mountain, lost three experienced players and have a freshman and two sophomores on the six-man roster.

KM college players off to a great start Kings Mountain players are off to a good start as collegiate baseball is getting into full swing. Alex Reynolds, a junior, is hitting .355 over the first 20 games at Lenoir-Rhyne University. He has 27 hits in 76 at-bats and has scored 19 runs. He has eight doubles, a
triple and two home runs. Will Wilson, a returning All-American at NC State, has moved from second base to shortstop for his sophomore season. He has been bothered by a painful hand injury that has affected his grip but is still hitting . 250 (10-for-40) with 12 runs
scored, two doubles and three home runs. His two-run double helped the Wolfpack beat Bowling Green 11-1 Friday and his two-run homer produced the only runs in a 3-2 loss to Canisius on Sunday. Freshman catcher Thomas Lavin is off to a great start with the Erskine Flying Fleet.
He is hitting at a .400 clip (8for-20) with two home runs. Freshman righthander Alec Seaward is 1-0 in a relief role at Limestone College in Gaffney, SC. He has a 0.00 ERA in three appearances. Another Saints pitcher from Kings Mountain, Alex Grooms, has started four
games but has not entered into a decision. Redshirt senior Wil Sellers has a 1-0 record and 3.52 ERA in 7.2 innings of relief for the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs. He has yet to walk a batter and has five strikeouts to his credit. Davidson catcher Eric
Jones, son of former KMHS athlete Brad Jones of Charlotte and grandson of Kings Mountain residents Bobby and Barbara Jones, is hitting .417 (15-for-36) for the Davidson Wildcats. He has scored 12 runs and has three home runs and 18 RBIs.
John Caveny wins Senior Golf event Cleveland County Senior Golf Association played last week at Deer Brook and Kings Mountain Country Club. Thursday’s round at KMCC was in the rain, so it did not count as a legal round. On Tuesday at Deer Brook, John Caveny won low gross with a 78. Low net was a three-way tie at 65 between Richard Harvell (80-15), Mike Melton (80-15) and Al Morris (7318). Melton won with a par four on the first playoff hole (#9).

— Baldor Electric Company is now ABB A history of innovation. A future of opportunity. When Baldor Electric Company was acquired by ABB in 2011, we knew we were becoming part of something big. Since that time, while we continued to manufacture industrial motors in Kings Mountain, we received global support to sell our motors around the world and invest in our business and community. Together, Baldor Electric and ABB share humble beginnings, a history of innovation, a desire to take care of customers, and the values of safety, integrity, and honesty. Together, we believe that US manufacturing is important for our US customers. Together, we believe in our employees and the communities in which we live and work. Together, we see the future with more opportunities for our employees and customers, investments in technology and innovations that will take us to the next level as a Forbes Global 250 company.
Over the next few weeks, the signs on the buildings will change, but ABB’s support of our employees, customers and the Kings Mountain community will not. For the past seven years, we have been a member of the ABB Group. Today, we are ABB.
