Gas prices continue to climb At $2.62, gas prices are at their most expensive point in nearly three years and continue to climb. On the week, the national average increased a nickel. “Expensive crude oil prices, unrest in the Middle East and strong domestic demand, are some of the factors driving spring gas prices toward new heights,” said AAA Spokesperson Tiffany Wright. “Gas prices could increase another 5 to 10 cents this season, but

right now we don’t expect we’ll see the $3 mark.” In the Carolinas, pump prices have hit their highest of the year as well. In North Carolina, the state average is currently $2.62, a six-cent increase over the past week. In South Carolina, the state average is $2.48, a five-cent increase on the week. Despite the increase, South Carolina still ranks among the least expensive states for gas prices in the country.

Female robbery suspects sought by KMPD Kings Mountain Police are looking for two female suspects accused of kidnapping a Kings Mountain woman and forcing her at gunpoint to withdraw money from her bank account. Cpl. D. K. Davis said the incident happened on March 30 at a retail store on Shelby Road. The two suspects reportedly began a friendly conversation with the 52-year-old shopper and then one of the suspects al-

legedly told the woman she had a gun and demanded that she take them to a bank and withdraw money. The shopper complied, and a large amount of currency was withdrawn and given to the suspects. The trio then drove to the parking lot at 608 E. King Street and the two suspects left the area. All three women are African American. One suspect had short hair, of heavy build, and wearing a medical scrub top, blue pants and carrying

a large brown purse. The other suspect was of medium build with short hair and wearing a white shirt and blue pants. No one was injured in the incident. Investigators ask that anyone with information call Cpl. D.K. Davis at Kings Mountain Police Department 704-734-0444 or Cleveland County Crime Stoppers at 704-0784-8477.

Chris and Erin Jolly launch new business.

Wednesday, April 18, 2018

Photo by Lib Stewart

Mr. and Mrs. in business Chris and Erin Jolly have launched a new career in business together. The young couple opened Jolly Realty Group at 828 E. King Street in the front office of the Patriot Jack building three months ago and they say their goal is to find a way to bring young people back to Kings Mountain as first home buyers by being more than just a real estate agency. Erin Jolly has been in the industry four years and after the two talked about long term goals her husband said, “why not.” “We are deeply rooted in Kings Mountain and we want

to see our city thrive and we believe it can,’’ said Chris. He added, “We looked at the landscape and embraced the opportunity because we believe this area is ready to grow in ways we haven’t seen before.” Erin said their goal is to promote not just a home but what Kings Mountain and Cleveland County have to offer through a variety of channels. Jolly Realty Group is a member of both the Cleveland County and Charlotte Multiple Listing Service. “’We’re trying to move buyers away from the hustle and bustle of Charlotte to live here and are active on social media platforms and the

web and our data speaks for itself,’’ Chris told members of the Cleveland Chamber and area people at a ribbon cutting hosted by the Chamber Thursday and an open house at which the Jollys served refreshments. Both Chris and Erin Jolly are Kings Mountain natives and have two children: Olivia, 3, and Natalie, 19 months old. Chris, son of Jim and Pattie Jolly is a 2003 graduate of Kings Mountain High School. Erin, daughter of Kathy Ramsey and the late Scott Summitt, is a 2006 graduate of KMHS and a graduate of UNC at Charlotte with a degree in psychology.

■ MEDITATION

Checking in on my Hometown gotten to read. (When did I was just about I ever have time to work? to call it LOL!) a night Well sure enough, in the and turn second issue that I checked, in when there was my picture starI rememing back at me from my bered that article submitted for the I had not church news page (or JAMES checked wherever and whenever, if JR. in on the LOCHRIDGE, ever, they had room for it.) Hudson, FL news from Former Pastor I read it to make sure it was what I Second Baptist Church reprinted as I had submitted consider it and kudos to the editors my Home or whoever puts the paper toTown, Kings Mountain, NC. gether as it was complete and I actually lived there for 10 accurate just as I had written years; the longest time that it a few weeks before. I have ever lived anywhere What an honor! At least in my entire life. And so, that is the way this retired I sat down at the computer preacher sees it. Far too and began to check the few often in my humble opinion back issues I had simply not (I think that might be an oxy-

moron - maybe if I was humbler, I wouldn’t be spouting off my opinion all the time; Selah) when we preachers get together the conversation will include gripes and complaints about how many people in our communities won’t come to church to hear us preach. I like clichés and remember one (I think) that says something like, “If Mohammed won’t come to the mountain, take the mountain to Mohammed’. (Feel free to write me and correct me if I misquoted that). At any rate, the Kings Mountain Herald and other papers often print articles, sermon excerpts, poems, letters to the editors, etc. free of charge to the submitters

and I have been told by more than one editor that they have trouble getting material. It has been a real blessing to see how local pastors have stepped up to the plate in KM in recent years and I certainly appreciate the opportunity afforded to me as a “foreign correspondent” as it were; first in Aruba and now on Sesame Street in Hudson, Florida, to share my thoughts and concerns and even my opinions. What a blessing to have this vehicle with which to reach so many who might never come to my church to hear me preach. The Apostle Paul wrote to young pastor Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2, “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season.” He goes on to admonish Tim, and us, I think, to “Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering (patience) and teaching.” He further explains that there will come a time when folks

Page 5A will not want to hear sound doctrine and will turn from the truth of God’s Word to anyone and everyone who simply tells them what they want to hear. Paul ends that passage in verse 5 by urging that young preacher boy and I believe all of us today who bear the banner of the cross to “do the work of an evangelist, (one who shares the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ), fulfill your ministry.” Well am I, I have to ask myself ever so often? Are you? I’m not suggesting all of you write for the paper. They might not ever have room for my feeble attempts to communicate again. But “preach the Word” as Holy Spirit has equipped you and gives you the opportunity. I write songs as well as articles and post them on YouTube under James T Lochridge Jr and Video under James and Belinda Lochridge and

lamplighters-ministries.org in their music section. From time to time, folks listen to them and I pray are blessed and encouraged or in some way drawn to the Savior. I can always find a listening audience at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. But those are some of my ways of sharing. I just want to encourage each of you to find your way to testify to the blessings the Lord has bestowed upon you. And remember a testimony is your story, not to be compared to others, but simply offered to the glory of God. You might be as amazed as I am as to how the Lord will use your “cup of cold water offered in His name.” Selah! Think about it. (Rev. James Lochridge is a former pastor of Second Baptist Church in Kings Mountain. He is retired and he and his wife reside in Hudson, Florida.)

After she completes her undergraduate schooling she wants to take a year before enrolling in Medical school to join the Peace Corps and help people around the world. “That’s why I want to minor in International Studies,’’ she said.

According to Darin Aldridge the benefit concert is all about everyone “having a good time raising money for a great cause. The Shriner’s Hospitals are just amazing. When we are on the road Brooke and I love visiting the hospitals and the kids they serve”.

the City of Kings Mountain and retired from the City of in the Gastonia in June 2010. She has turned her retirement years into being a community activist and in serving in various ministries in the United States and Africa. Dr. Everette B. Thombs, a Davidson alumnus, opened the first full time private practice of medicine by a person of African American descent in Kings Mountain. He served full time at Cleveland Regional Medical Center as well as Kings Mountain Hospital where he was Chief of Staff for five years. One of the ways he supports education is through the Davidson Alumni Association scholarship fund. In the late 1880’s Rev. A. L. Martin began teaching students in a brush arbor behind Bynum Chapel AME Zion Church and in 18881889 a one teacher school was opened at this church. As the years passed, a four-room frame building was erected on Ridge Street, now known as Cooke Circle. The school came to be known as the Kings Mountain Colored School. In 1925, land was purchased by the school board on Watterson and Parker Streets to build a onestory building. In 1937 additions and improvements were made to the building. Rev. R. J. Davidson, for whom the school was named, was principal from 1934-45. Davidson High provided education to many until 1960. The high school merged with a Com-

pact. The elementary school remained on the old site of Watterson and Parker Streets until 1954 when it was moved into a brick structure at 500 W. Parker Street. C.A. Allison became principal in 1964. In the spring of 1968, integration closed Davidson Elementary School. In the 1970s the Davidson Alumni Association was organized to continue the legacy and history of the school and to provide scholarships to eligible high school seniors. The Association is composed of graduates and those who attended Davidson School. Today there are many alumni of Davidson school from the KM District Schools who are recognized an educators’ doctors, lawyers, judges and entrepreneurs. Elizabeth Jayne Pressley Orr is president of the Alumni Association, James Boyd Jr. is vice-president, Yvonne Boyce Whitehead is secretary and Valerie Boyd is treasurer. Valerie Boyd is president of the alumni board of directors which includes James Boyd Jr., association liaison Ronnie Byers, secretary; Margaret Hunter Smith, vice-president; Mary Sommers Neisler, member emeritus; board member Larry Orr and advisor Annie Cole Thombs.

Felony counts lodged against Grover man GROVER - Michael Dale B o w e n of Grover faces charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and BOWEN two counts of trafficking in methamphetamine and was jailed at the Cleveland County Detention Center April 11.

Deputy Aaron Sims of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department arrested Sims during a traffic stop on Main Street and Sims gave consent to search his vehicle. Deputy Sims located and seized a handgun, 34 grams of methamphetamine (with a street value of $1200) and $500 in U. S. currency (pursuant to asset forfeiture law). Sims said at the time of Bowens’ arrest he was on active federal probation. Sheriff Alan Norman

said, “This is another example of the hard work done by the men and women of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office. I would like to commend Deputy Sims for continuing his efforts to combat drug trafficking in Cleveland County. The Sheriff’s Office will continue to investigate and arrest anyone involved in the transportation and trafficking of any illegal drugs which have an adverse effect on our community.”

Fight during card game results In shooting in Grover GROVER - A fight during a card game resulted in a Gastonia man being shot in the stomach at 207 Darth Maul Drive last Tuesday mornHUSKEY ing at 5:30 a.m., according to Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department deputies who say robbery may have been a motive in the shooting. Raheim Lamar Huskey, 23, of 417 Hobbs Ave., Shelby, turned himself in to authorities the day after the alleged shooting. He faces charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting se-

rious injury and robbery with a dangerous weapon Qunale Connealis Rondo, 27, Gastonia, was transported by ambulance to Atrium-Cleveland Medical Center, Shelby, where he underwent surgery for an apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Sheriff Alan Norman said that according to witnesses Rondo was visiting his cousin and playing cards with a group inside the residence when a fight erupted between Rondo and another card player, Huskey, who had just recently arrived at the house. Huskey fled the scene Six days before the reported shooting Norman said that Huskey was arrested by Shelby Police and charged with possession of a stolen firearm,

possession with intent to manufacture, sell/deliver cocaine and possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver marijuana., Sheriff Norman said, “This is yet another example of an incident where the victim absolutely and completely refused to assist us in bringing to justice the person that shot him. Despite that, through investigative tenacity, my detectives have identified the shooter, charged him with several serious felony crimes. Mr. Huskey is an individual who is no stranger to the criminal justice system. I would like our citizens to contemplate why a victim would not assist us in every way possible when someone had just tried to kill him.’’

KMHS Blazer Band ‘strikes up the band’ in ‘President’s Cup’ in DC Working closely with the US Army Band in Washington, DC for performance in the “President’s Cup” in early April was the experience of a lifetime for members of the Kings Mountain High School Blazer Band. Three charter buses of band members returned home April 7 about midnight and were escorted to the high school by Kings Mountain Police. Doug Satterfield, father of band member Luke Satterfield, said that spring break could not have been better. The group was playing with the best, six bands from across the country all nominated for having a historically rich and strong band program. The event was hosted by the US Army Band and was held at the Hylton Center in Manassas, Virginia. A day prior to their performance the students par-

ticipated in a clinic with Pershing’s Own, the premier musical organization of the Army. With months of practice and plenty of rehearsals under their belt, the KMHS Band performed three songs at the collegiate or professional level. “I was really proud,’’ said Satterfield. Four members of the Blazer Band were selected to play with the US Army Band. They were Daniel Moore, Elizabeth Foy, Abbey Wray and Luke Satterfield. Band directors Andy Washburn and Kevin Clary said students worked hard in practices and in fundraising for the trip when they found out in October that the KMHS Band was nominated to participate in ‘’President’s Cup.” The Kings Mountain community helped raise the $68,000 cost of the trip.

“I was just one of many good players,” Hillman says of KM 1998 football team (Fifth in a series of stories on the 2018 Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame inductees. The dinner and ceremony will be held Sat., May 12 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and available at Paul Ingram’s Barber Shop in downtown Kings Mountain, Kings Mountain High School and from members of the Hall of Fame committee. Tickets should be purchased in advance because it may be a sellout). Anthony Hillman, better known to his friends and teammates as Bubba, still holds all of the Kings Mountain High School rushing records but he doesn’t personally take credit for any of them. “I was just one of many good players on the teams that we had,” he says. “All of my teammates were incredible athletes and individuals. I consider many of them my brothers. We’re still close to this day and our friendship will last a lifetime.” Records may, or may not, last a lifetime but if anyone’s has a shot it’s Hillman’s. A three-year starter at running back during the Mountaineers’ five-year run under Coach Ron Massey in the late 1990s, Hillman set school and county records for yards rushing and scoring. Hillman, who seldom sees a Mountaineer game anymore because he works at night, admits his records could fall within the next two years if current sophomore running star Ricaylen Mack stays healthy. Hillman, a three-year varsity player, amassed a single season record 2,510 yards rushing in the Mountaineers’ 14-2 run in 1998, and a career mark of 5,618 for his varsity career from 1997-99. He has a career scoring record of 396 points but Mack broke his single season mark of 162 last fall. Even if other records fall someday, fans who were in the stands at A.L. Brown in Kannapolis that night in 1998 when the Mountaineers eliminated the defending state champion Wonders from the state 3A playoffs will never forget Hillman’s game-winning touchdown. With the Mountaineers down by 21-20, Coach Massey said later that he was setting up for a potential game-winning field goal with just 35 seconds left on the clock. But the Mountaineer offensive line opened a wide

hole through the middle of the line that sprung Hillman for a 20-yard game-winning run. Hillman said the run is not what he thinks about when he relives that night. “The win at A.L. Brown was not so much the game itself but the preparation we put into it,” Hillman noted. “We had lost to them the year before and the whole team wanted them again. Everybody on the team locked it in. We had a common goal. Our motto was ‘we have unfinished business to take care of.’ What stands out is that as individuals we came together to accomplish a goal.” After that victory the Mountaineers returned home to defeat Concord for the Western championship. The next week at UNC Chapel Hill, KM led the state championship game with 3:20 remaining when Winston-Salem Carver scored on a touchdown pass for a 33-28 victory. The Mountaineers rolled right down the field to inside the Carver 20 but a lost fumble ended their state championship dream. Hillman was at less than full speed because of a painful thumb injury that had bothered him all year. “In the state championship game it was actually broken,” he recalled. “I had it about all year and it just lingered. I never could get it healed because all year when I would get tackled people would pull on it. “Losing that state championship game was the most disappointing thing. It haunts me to this day. You don’t get a second opportunity. If we’d won it would have changed the course of a lot of individuals’ lives. It’s been 20 years and it still haunts me to this day.” But the overall memory of those years will never be forgotten. During Hillman’s varsity career the Mountaineers won 30 games and played for two Western NC championships. His freshman year of 1996, when the Mountaineers were 9-1-1 overall, Hillman was the leading rusher on the JV team. “Ron Massey was the best coach I’ve ever seen,” he said. “But my freshman year he made me cry. He had called up some of the JVs after the regular season ended and we were getting ready for a playoff game against Pisgah. We were practicing a play and I slipped and fell and messed it up. He really let me have it. He tossed me off the field. But that challenged me.

Anthony Hillman, KM’s all-time leading rusher and scorer and an All-State running back in 1999. “He challenged every player on every down. He always had our best interest at heart. He was a very good game planner and always put us in the best position to win. He was a great coach. “All of our coaches were. I was influenced by Coach John Bumgardner. He was one of the most influential coaches, not just in football but in track and in the classroom. He took an interest in all of his students. I was able to talk to him a few weeks before he passed away. “I loved all of my coaches. Coach (Dave) Farquharson, Coach (Alfred) Ash and Coach (Rick) Fortner; all of them were special. They all taught me something I could carry on.” While Hillman’s top overall rushing game was 298 yards in that big win at Kannapolis, he points to an earlier game that year when the

Mountaineers edged a strong East Rutherford team 14-6 as another great memory. “I got knocked out,” he recalled. “It was a concussion but they didn’t have the same protocol then as they do now or I wouldn’t have gone back in. I remember the trainer kept telling me to count to ten and I would go ‘one, one, one’ and the trainer said ‘he’s alright, put him back in there.’ “Julius Curry came over to me and asked if I could run straight ahead, and I told him I could,” Hillman said. “He told Coach Massey he’d do the blocking, so that’s what we did. East Rutherford had a very tough team that year.” Hillman’s athletic prowess was not limited to football. He was also one of the best wrestlers in the state. During his four-year career he won the conference championship three times and the Western Regional and State champi-

Anthony Hillman with Mountaineer coach Ron Massey in 1998. love to give back to the community because I really love Kings Mountain. “Honestly, the main thing I can relate to my football days is the relationship you have with coaches and players. I grew up as an only child so my teammates were my brothers. You’re able to build strong relationships that still exist to this day. They motivated me to be more than I was in more ways than football. That’s the one thing I will always be grateful for.” Being inducted into the Hall of Fame on the evening before Mother’s Day is special, he said “It will be a great Mother’s Day gift for my mother (Tanya Houser),” he said. “She was at every one of my games and every wrestling match. I believe I was a decent player but to be among the greats is terrific. I am honored.”

onships his senior year. “Matt Ash, who was our quarterback my last year, won it the same year I did,” Hillman recalled. “My junior year Julius Curry and Anthony Ash won it. “I believe wrestling taught me more about life than football,” he noted. “I still stay in touch with Coach Farquharson and Coach Ash. I talk to Coach Ash daily. “I still see a lot of my teammates like T.J. McClain, Julius Curry and Kareem Marshall. Most of my teammates are still around.” Hillman says if his work schedule changes in the future, he would love to give back to Kings Mountain as a volunteer coach. “I have been offered an opportunity with the Kings Mountain Elite but with my schedule I had to turn it down,” he said. “Hopefully, someday I can do it.

Mountaineers shutout Huss 3-0

Kings Mountain’s Joe Ruffalo works on a three-hit shutout of Hunter Huss Friday at Lancaster Field. Photo by Gary Smart

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers got a complete game, nine-strikeout performance from Joe Ruffalo and some timely RBI hits to edge Hunter Huss 3-0 in a Big South Conference game Friday night at Lancaster Field. Bryce Fisher’s second inning single plated Chase Johnson with the only run Ruffalo and the Mountaineer defense needed to nail down their third conference win in 10 outings and their sixth overall in 16 games. The Mountaineers tacked on insurance runs in

the third and sixth frames with the run in the third coming without benefit of a hit. John Harmon Melton reached on an error when his ground ball to third and relay to second for the second out of the inning was thrown away at first. Melton took second on the error, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored when David Bell’s fly ball to center was dropped. Ruffalo’s ground-rule double that bounced over the left-center field fence got the sixth inning rally going. He later scored when

he stole third base and the Huss catcher threw the ball into left field. Ruffalo held Huss to just one hit after the third inning, a sixth inning single by Jacob Hilton. Ruffalo struck out two batters in the fourth, one if the fifth, one in the sixth and fanned the side in the seventh. The Mountaineers had second place North Gaston on the ropes last Tuesday night in Dallas but the Wildcats scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for a 6-5 victory. Jackson Finger’s two-

run single gave the Wildcats the walk-off victory. It was North’s eighth straight win after losing a close battle to Crest in a battle for first place in the BSC. Melton led the Mountaineers at the plate with 2-for-4 and one RBI. Ruffalo and Zack Crawford added RBI doubles and Johnson had a RBI single. Fisher worked the first 4 2/3 innings for the Mountaineers, giving up four hits and fanning five. Daniel Bagwell came on in relief and took the loss.

The Lady Mountaineers took over sole possession of second place Tuesday with a 13-11 victory over North Gaston in Dallas. The Lady Mountaineers

scored six runs in the top of the sixth to pull within one run at 8-7. The big inning was capped by Jenna Ramsey’s first career home run, a grand slam. The Mountaineers trailed 10-7 going into the top of the seventh when they exploded again with six runs. The scoring was capped by Cassie Melton’s bases-clear-

ing triple. Emily Graham got the scoring started with a solo shot in the fourth inning. Summer Deaton went the distanced on the mound. Friday at Lancaster Field, the Lady Mountaineers defeated Hunter Huss 14-4 in five innings. Jesse Oehler went 3-for-3 with four runs batted in and Emily Graham slammed a

Patriots beat Crest 10-7 Kings Mountain Middle School’s baseball team split a couple of Tri-County Conference games last week, losing to East Lincoln 15-5 in six innings and defeating Crest 10-7. The Patriots scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth Thursday to defeat Crest 10-7 and improve to 5-4 on the season. Charlie Melton and Caleb Broome handled the mound duties, giving up seven runs on nine hits, three walks and 13 strikeouts. Broome and Melton had two hits each and Peyton Fisher had one hit. KM led 2-0 after the first and 4-0 after two innings. It was 5-1, KM, after three frames but Crest began to whittle away at the lead in the fourth and cut the margin to 6-3. Crest put up four runs in the sixth to go up 7-6 before KM launched its winning rally.

At East Lincoln, the Patriots and East were tied at 5-all going into the bottom of the fifth when East Lincoln broke the game open. A dropped fly ball in the outfield allowed East to take the lead at 6-5 and they added a three-run triple and a sacrifice fly to end the inning with a 10-5 advantage. Peyton Fisher and Cole Irby both went 1-for-1 with a pair of walks each to lead the Patriots at the plate. Others with one hit were Caleb Broome, Bennett Davis and Casey Smith.

Patterson wins top award By SM/2nd Lt. Cheryl Vagnozzi Shelby CAP PAO

There are times throughout life where we are among people of great character and leadership who don't get the recognition or thanks they deserve for their commitment to making this world a better place. They are silent in their good deeds but contribute so much to us and our surroundings. Captain Randy Patterson is one of these people. He has served our country in the Army, a former Highway Patrol Officer, currently a Rutherford County Airport Operations Manager and Helicopter Pilot for the Rutherford County Sheriff Department, a Scout Troop volunteer leader, and a volunteer in the Civil Air Patrol for the past 8 years at the Shelby Composite Squadron. His contribution to our country, citizens, and youth organizations is nothing

short of commendable. Recently, Captain Randy Patterson received the Grover Loening Award presented by Major Fitzpatrick, for his accomplishments in the Civil Air Patrol. The Grover Loening Award is an award given to Civil Air Patrol (CAP) members who complete Level III of the Senior Member Professional Development Program. It recognizes members who have dedicated themselves to leadership and personal development in CAP. The award was first given in 1964 and honors the late Grover Loening. A noted aviation pioneer, he was the first civilian member of the National Air and Space Museum’s Advisory Board. Of CAP’s over 35,000 senior members, only about 350 earn the Grover Loening Award each year. We would like to congratulate and thank him for his service and volunteer-

How to Find Great Volunteer Vacations Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are approaching retirement and are interested in learning more about volunteer vacations. Can you give us some information on this travel option, and refer us to some good organizations that offer these types of trips. Love to Travel Dear Love, If you’re looking to do more on your next vacation than relax in the sun or go sightseeing, volunteer vacations – also known as voluntourism – which combine travel and volunteer work, are a great alternative and a growing trend among retirees. Volunteer Vacations There are many organizations today that offer short-term volunteer vacation projects in the U.S. and abroad, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Common program themes include teaching English, working with children and teens, building and repairing homes and schools, and assisting with community or environmental projects.

In addition, volunteer vacations also give travelers the opportunity to experience the culture more fully and connect with the local people – much different than your run-of-the-mill sightseeing vacation. Most volunteer vacation groups accept singles, couples and families and you don’t need to speak a foreign language. Costs usually range from around $1,000 to $3,000 per week, not including transportation to the country your site is in. Fees typically cover pre-trip orientation information, room and board, on-site training, ground transportation once you get there, the services of a project leader, and a contribution to the local community that covers material and services related to the project. And, if the organization running your trip is a nonproﬁt, the cost of your trip, including airfare, is probably tax-deductible. Where to Look While there are many organizations that offer volunteer vacations, here are some good ones that attract a lot of retirees. • Global Volunteers (GlobalVolunteers. org): A pioneer in global travel, this

group tackles hunger, poverty and educational needs. It offers a variety of one, two and three-week service programs in 17 countries, including the U.S. • Earthwatch Institute (Earthwatch.org): With an emphasis in environmental conservation and research, they offer dozens of one and two-week expeditions in countries all over the world. • Cross-Cultural Solutions (CrossCulturalSolutions.org): Based in New Rochelle, NY, they focus on health, education, and economic volunteer opportunities in Central and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. • Biosphere Expeditions (Biosphere-expeditions.org): Offers wildlife conservation expeditions in 13 countries. • Habitat for Humanity (Habitat.org): Offers international house-building trips through its Global Village Program in more than 40 countries. • Sierra Club (Sierraclub.org): This venerable environmental group sponsors dozens of service trips in the U.S. each year, with more projects offered through local chapters. How to Choose With so many different volunteer vaca-

tions to choose from, selecting one can be difficult. To help you decide, you need to think specifically about what you want. For example: Where you want to go and for how long? What types of work are you interested in doing? What kind of living situation and accommodations do you want? Do you want to volunteer alone or with a group? Do you want a rural or urban placement? Also consider your age and health. Are you up to the task, or do you have any special needs that will need to be met? Once you figure out what you want and spot a few volunteer vacations that interest you, ask the organization to send you information that describes the accommodations, the fees and what they cover including their refund policy, the work schedule and work details, and anything else you have questions about. Also, get a list of previous volunteers and call them. 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.

Come July 1st, your intern won’t be the only new doctor in the operating room. Carolinas HealthCare System - now Atrium Health - is ending its 37 year contract with its anesthesiologists. That means July 1 will be the first day for a new group of anesthesiologists to come into the OR having never worked together. It will be the first day for CRNAs to team up with anesthesiologists they’ve never met. And it will be the first day for new interns to start work. What could possibly go wrong? If you have surgery scheduled on or after July 1, you might want to scope out the details of the radical changes that Atrium is making in anesthesiology care.

increase strength and balance, problem solve, and set goals. If you are concerned about falls or have fallen in the past – this program is for you! “A Matter of Balance” can help older adults improve their quality of life and remain independent. “This program makes such a difference in the lives of workshop participants,” says Linda J. Minges, a program instructor, “the fear of falling could actually lead to a fall because that fear limits activities, causes difficult emotions and leads to isolation, which can lead to poor balance and weakness.” “A Matter of Balance” program will be held at the Citizens Resource Center, located at 1303 Dallas-Cherryville Hwy., Dallas, NC. Classes are scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays, May 21st through June 18th from 10:00am – 12:00pm. There is no cost to participant in this program, but pre-registration is required. Contact Linda J. Minges, NC Cooperative Extension by May 15th to pre-register by email: linda_minges@ ncsu.edu or phone: 704.922.2127. Limited seating, so sign up now.

DALLAS - Have you turned down a chance to go out with family or friends because you were concerned about falling? Have you cut down on a favorite activity because you might fall? If so, A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is a program for you. One out of three adults age 65 and better fall each year. As we age, we can develop a fear of falling. This fear can result in a decrease in physical activity and lead to increased isolation. Studies show 30% of individuals who fall suffers injuries that decrease mobility and independence and result in high medical costs. The National Council on Aging reported the total cost of fall injuries in 2013 was $34 billion with 78% being paid by Medicare. Now is the time to take control by learning how to prevent falls and to manage falls that may happen. “A Matter of Balance”, a national program sponsored by Centralina Area Agency on Aging, will be offered by NC Cooperative Extension and Gaston County Extension & Community Association (ECA) beginning in May. This program is provided at no cost to participants. You will learn how to make changes to reduce fall risks at home, view falls as controllable, increase physical activity,

Historic Osage Mill Redevelopment Project Once established as the center of Bessemer City’s textile economy, Osage Mill located in the heart of downtown, is now getting the opportunity once again to breathe life back into the community. Osage Mill Residential L.P. successfully acquired the property in February 2018 and plans to start redevelopment efforts towards the end of the year. This mixed-use, multi-purpose rehab project will include more than 150 one, two, and three-bedroom loftstyle apartment units as well as 30,000 square feet of retail/commercial/ community space creating jobs and revenue growth, in the heart of downtown Bessemer City. One of the city’s first textile mills, the 260,000 square foot mill dates back to the late 1800s and was built by the city’s founder, John A. Smith. Osage Mill serves as an iconic landmark in the heart of the community that embeds the social and cultural fabric of Bessemer City together. At full occupancy, the project will bring more than 400 new residents to

Bessemer City (approximately a 10% increase in City population). The mill will drive new foot traffic, while also providing needed retail/commercial space, and making neighboring properties more attractive for investment. Osage Mill’s redevelopment adds an exciting element to Bessemer City. The project will redefine Bessemer City’s future, by creating opportunities for local small businesses to grow and thrive, while creating, , a unique living experience for tenants. Residents will be able to walk to local amenities, services, retail shops and restaurants. Millennials, baby boomers, seniors, and others, will enjoy the benefits of the project. “Bessemer City is on the move toward success. We invite all to come experience the City with a Heart and the city with ample opportunity for growth and development in the Charlotte Metro Region,” said Mayor Becky S. Smith. “We look forward to seeing additional investment projects and business growth.”

On Tuesday, April 3, 2018, the City of Bessemer City, Gaston County, the Gaston County EDC, Secretary of Commerce Secretary Anthony Copeland, members of the public and other organizations gathered to celebrate a $32,000,000 investment by Dhollandia MFG, Inc. in Bessemer City. The new plant will be located along Southridge Parkway between Dole and Tosaf. The North American headquarters will include 150-200 jobs. Dhollandia N.V. is a Belgium-based global company. Dhollandia N.V. plans to invest $30,000,000 over a five (5) year period to construct an advance manufacturing facility in the South Ridge Business Park. This location will be the company’s North American corporate office. The company plans to create at least two-hundred (200) new jobs beginning in 2018 through 2021. The average wage of $46,100 per year is higher than the county average, which is $38,438. Bessemer City is extremely excit-

ed about this new project as Bessemer City continues to grow business, create new jobs, and better the quality of life for citizens. Mayor Becky S. Smith said “I am especially glad that the South Ridge Business Park was chosen for the Dhollandia N.V.’s newest facility. Landing this project in Bessemer City shows that our small town can produce large outcomes with the partnership between the City, Gaston County EDC and all others involved. Bessemer City offers many amenities to businesses including our close proximity to Interstate 85 and the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. Bessemer City strives to offer businesses a prime environment and one that exemplifies small community character and hospitality. We believe our community is the best of both worlds with preserving our quaint character but also providing international businesses like Dhollandia N.V. opportunities for success.
