The theme this year

is “Lord, pour out Your LOVE, LIFE, and LIBERTY.” The honorable Mayor Scott Neisler will call us to a season of prayer followed with the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag, the National Anthem, other special music, and then a time of prayer for our community and our nation.

You are invited to be part of this prayer gathering as we join our fellow citizens across America as we pray for God to pour out His love, life, and liberty throughout this nation.

We have to meet them in the middle

City Council agrees to meet with downtown businesses May 10 The April 27 City Council meeting stretched on for four and a half hours Tuesday, as nine people who either own businesses, properties or represent them voiced their concerns regarding downtown development throughout the meeting.

First to speak was Iris Hubbard, owner of 133 West in Kings Mountain.

“I thank the city for their support. We opened on August 26, 2020. My business employs four full-time employees and 21 part-time employees. I currently serve

on the Main Street Advisory Board and the Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors,” she said. “I request a meeting of building owners, business owners, city council, the city manager, and Director of Economic Development within the next 14 days to assure we can all achieve our goals for the better of our community.”

Next, architect Ken Pflieger represented two clients and said he has also served on the Main Street Design Committee for 12 years. “Main Street’s Mission is to create a pivotal lifestyle center in our community that offers locally owned shopping, dining, See CITY, Page 2A

City approves Cannon 35 rezoning

By Loretta Cozart During the April 27 City Council meeting, the R. Dean Harrell Company’s request for rezoning from R-10 to Conditional District R6 PUD was unanimously approved.

The decision was continued from the March meeting when several citizens complained that a limited number of impacted residents were notified of the community meeting. A second meeting was held at the Patrick Senior Center to inform the community of the plans for the project.

The R. Dean Harrell Company petitioned to rezone approximately 56.95 acres located in Cleveland County with road access on Kings Mountain Boulevard, Crocker Road, and located North of Margrace Road.

Citizens Charles Stevens and Trey Edgerton spoke against the project during the

For Dental Implants Locally Here In Kings Mountain

BAKER DENTAL CARE Preventative, Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry

Public Hearing. Mr. Stevens said, “There will be unsafe driving conditions with Beason Creek and Crocker Ridge.

I hope you won’t do it, but it probably will be done because citizens are at the bottom of the totem pole. The city’s transparency isn’t very good, and the casino is causing a lot of growth.”

“I’ve earned the right to live in peace. We are being kicked aside for the fourth time. We haven’t had one councilman call to see how we are doing, except Mrs. Thombs,” he said. “We need to have a person we can go to.

We seem to be ignored. The zoning signs were hidden in a field and people didn’t know it was in the plans. Transparency does not exist.”

Trey Edgerton said he wasn’t there so much to speak against but to warn the city of the coming growth like he witnessed in Boone, NC. He also said, “In the ETJ, we

have no voice. Think about what you approve before you approve it. Just because a plan is detailed does not mean that it is right.”

Councilwoman Thombs asked to speak and said, “I understand everyone’s concern about growth, and everyone’s concerned about change. Change is here; there is nothing we can do about it.

I am speaking as an elected official.”

“As far as the casino, whether it is there or not there, it is 16 ½ acres of federal land trust. Our responsibility is to govern the ETJ and that’s what we are elected to do. You might not like our decisions, but just because we don’t make the decisions you like, stop calling us corrupt, stop calling for investigations, because none of us is corrupt,” she said. “It is our responsibility to govern the ETJ. We have a choice to leave it as it is and let

anything spring up or do the responsible thing and vote to do the best we know how for this city.”

She went on to say, “You might consider that we are not transparent. We are as transparent as we know how to be, and we are constantly improving our being transparent. Just because you don’t like what we put out there doesn’t mean we aren’t transparent. The decisions I make, I make thoughtfully concerning all the citizens of Kings Mountain.”

In other action, the city council approved two items relating to facilities physically connected to the Catawba Indian Nation Trust property: • Councilman Miller made a motion to adopt an ordinance to change Article IV – Section 4.8 Height Limitation Exceptions as follows: Add the following text after See REZONING, Page 5A

Just a few benefits of Dental Implants:

• Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.

• Improved speech. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your dentures might slip.

• Improved self-esteem. Smile again and feel better about yourself.

• Durable. Implants are very durable and with proper care, can last a lifetime.

ization of downtown.”

Jimbo Thompson shared that his business, Gutter Guys, has 13 full-time positions and numerous subcontractors. “We would like to see more transparency and cooperation with the city to become partners in advancing downtown. We also fear retaliation for having a strong voice. I support having a meeting in 14 days,” Thompson said.

Jackie Falls and her husband own the Edward Jones building downtown and rent apartments above. “We love the people here and want to give back. We want to work to collaborate with revitalization downtown,” she said.

Stella Putnam shared, “I’ve seen a lot out of my window over the last 44 years. This city means a lot to me. I’ve watched public and private partnerships and am excited about what is happening. Look around. The business owners are putting blood, sweat, and tears (into their projects). These people live here! We are remodeling Neisler brothers after all these years! Everybody here wants the same thing.”

Marlo Parker spoke, saying her husband is Michael Parker Construction, a general contractor who holds a realtor’s license and has a civil engineer background. “We have received violation notices. The Main Street Coordinator threatened to have my husband arrested for working on the building. The city also tried to enforce construction permits and liens when there is no construction time frame on this type of permit.”

She went on to say, “The straw that broke the camel’s back was a voicemail we received from the NC General Contractors’ Board from the city trying to file a claim against Parker Construction.

The board simply replied, ‘There is not a violation. There is no contract. I am not sure why the city is doing this.’

Why is the city being so malicious? Why aren’t they taking the time to promote growth instead of hindering the growth that is here?” She also asked for a meeting within 14 days.

Russ Putnam was the last to speak to represent downtown business and building owners. He said, “In many ways, Kings Mountain looks like it did when I was a child. I can’t stress enough the importance of working with and listening to the building owners and businesses in finalization of the downtown streetscape to make it work better.”

Later during a public hearing the city council discussed a proposed amendment to the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance for vacant properties located in the KMPPED overlay district. The amendment included language requiring upkeep maintenance to vacant buildings in the Main Street District and that would require owners of vacant buildings to register them and pay fees every six months that a building remains vacant.

Fees would range from $250 to start and going up to $1,000 after 18 months.

Under the proposed ordinance amendment, general maintenance of vacant properties would require that windows and doors remain intact and operable, storefronts and facades be maintained, all awnings and signs must not appear worn, tattered, or have missing parts, visible interiors be maintained, broken windows be replaced or re-glazed, and that properties vacant for more than 90 days have lighting at entrances and exits. Under the proposed ordinance, vacant buildings must be maintained in a way that does not provide evidence of vacancy. There were exceptions to the ordinance also noted.

Economic Development and Planning Director Stuart Gilbert shared with the city

From Page 1A live entertainment venues, as well as multi-generational options,” he said. He is currently working on two projects downtown, Taylor Commercial Properties, the former First Citizens Bank Building, and David Stone’s property at 138 W. Mountain Street.

“I have two concerns tonight. One is the formal complaint letter I sent this morning asking for a meeting. We are dealing with two issues. One is a pattern of obstruction on getting a flow of information regarding the streetscape into our hands. We’ve been asking for this since November 2020.” The city provided renderings of the streetscape last November, and they remain on display in the lobby of City Hall. “The specific area I’m working on is about the size of a matchstick, and there is very little detail about it,” he said.

“Since I’ve been asking, there have been patterns of withholding information that is needed until just last Tuesday. We met with Mr. Flowe at the project site and were very surprised to learn that plans are 99% complete. I have been tasked with an alternate study that does work with grade and entry points on either side of the alley. There is a one-anda-half-foot difference between the building and the plaza elevation. I don’t know how we are going to resolve that. We are asking for collaboration,” Pflieger requested.

Jewel Reavis spoke on behalf of the Southern Arts Society. She shared, “In 2025, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Depot. We support the businesspeople in town asking for a meeting with the city council, the city manager, and staff in the next two weeks to hear from the main street community on revital-

Two charged with death by distribution On September 2, 2020 Deputies were called to the residence of 675 Whitaker Road in Boiling Springs, in reference to an apparent overdose. Upon arrival deputies located the deceased Mr. Bradley Lail inside the residence. After further investigation deputies discovered that Mr. Lail had purchased counterfeit Oxycodone 30 pills that were laced with fentanyl, from Jessica Hope Alexander, 33, of 3222 McKinney Road in Mooresboro.

After an intensive investigation Mrs. Alexander was arrested and charged on April 21 with Death by Distribution for providing the drugs that caused Mr. Lail’s death. Mrs. Alexander is currently in the Cleveland County Detention Center under a $50,000 secured bond.

In a separate case that began on September 11, 2020, Deputies were called to the residence of 3656 West Dixon Blvd. Lot # 21 Shelby, in reference to an apparent overdose. Upon arrival deputies located Mr. Terry Ormond who was in medical distress. Deputies performed lifesaving mea-

sures on Mr. Ormond until Cleveland County EMS arrived, but Mr. Ormond could not be saved.

Deputies started an investigation into Mr. Ormond’s death and discovered that Mr. Ormond had purchased Heroin, from Brandon Curry, 32, of 3450 Polkville Road in Lawndale on the day of his overdose.

On April 22, 2021, after an intensive investigation, Mr. Curry was arrested and charged with Death by Distribution for providing the Heroin that caused Mr. Ormond’s death. Mr. Curry was also served with a previous outstanding firearm by felon warrant at the time of his arrest. Mr. Curry is

currently in the Cleveland County Detention Center under a $60,000 secured bond.

Sheriff Norman states “We continue to see an uptick in overdose deaths, not only in our county but the state and the nation. We will continue to be as proactive as possible when investigating all drug crimes especially when death occurs from drug use. It is extremely disturbing to see the trend of people purchasing narcotics not knowing that are laced with Fentanyl or other toxic substances, which often times leads to the user’s death.”

Gaston County Police apprehend homicide suspect On Friday April 30, the Gaston County Police Department Community Policing Division arrested Donald Christian Wheeling, 26, of 205 Hall Street in Dallas, NC. Mr. Wheeling was arrested after fleeing from County Police Officers on a stolen motorcycle. Mr. Wheeling was taken into custody without incident.

Wheeling is currently incarcerated at the Gaston County Jail on a hold for 1st degree murder, felony fleeing to elude arrest, and poscouncil, “The Main Street Board recommended against the amendment the Planning and Zoning Board recommended for it. And as a Broker-in-Charge in the state of NC, I can attest to the fact it is important to maintain buildings.”

Jimbo Thompson spoke against the proposed amendment saying, “I have a total of four buildings. To even be asking for ordinances on zoning for downtown business owners after what you heard tonight from multiple constituents, from people that live here. What are you doing to encourage building owners to get these building up? Do you know how long I’ve been trying to get one building off the ground? I was encouraged to get architectural drawings. NC statutes say I don’t even need them. Steel has stopped, and I can’t move forward,” he said.

“Downtown, you want to find people to encourage them to upfit their buildings.

Have you talked to any of the building owners? Have you ever spoken to me? I have made complaints, and only one person spoke to me, and that was Keith Miller.

How can you make an ordinance part of zoning when you don’t have zoning? I think the zoning ordinance should be tabled or done away with,” said Thompson.

David Stone spoke against the ordinance as well, saying, “Based on what you heard from main street businesses, will this ordinance bring us together or drive a wedge between us?”

He encouraged a dynamic public / private partnership similar to those in Wilson and Belmont, NC. Mayor Neisler spoke,

DONALD WHEELING session of stolen property.

The Gaston County Police encourages anyone

with information about this incident to contact Detective R. L. Smith at 704-8663320 or Crimestoppers at 704-861-8000. Information leading to the identification, arrest and/or prosecution of suspect(s) involved in this incident can result in up to a $1,000 reward.

This is an on-going and evolving investigation. Due to the nature of this investigation, no further information can be released at this time.

saying, “To say we are not transparent… We are virtual, sharing meetings online, and have held community meetings. To say we don’t want public input is false. We want a strong and vibrant downtown. We have building owners who don’t care about their buildings. But not all business owners are like that.” He went on to say, “We go to the nth degree.

The character of our board is stellar. Zoning protects owners; it protects property. We have asked for public input.

We even hired someone.

We’ve invested in Patriots Park, where people want to go. We want downtown to be the same.”

The city council unanimously decided to table a decision regarding the vacancy ordinance until May 25 and scheduled a meeting with the main street building and business owners for May 10.

Councilman Jimmy West said, “We need to go out and meet with property owners. I don’t want to make it punitive for those who are trying to fix their buildings.

We have to meet them in the middle.” Councilman Keith Miller agreed to go with West to talk with all the business and property owners downtown before their May 10 meeting.

OPINION Pieces of Kings Mountain History TODAY’S QUOTE:

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

–Charlie Chaplin

On Saturday, hundreds of people flocked to downtown Kings MounLORETTA tain to enjoy COZART two concerts in Patriots Park with friends and family. A bonus was the car show that accompanied the event.

Cars of all shapes and sizes streamed into downtown beginning at 4 pm.

Those who arrived early displayed their cars on W. Gold Street. By early evening, cars were parked on both sides of Railroad Avenue, for two and a half blocks, from below W. Gold Street to King Street.

Downtown was abuzz with activity.

Automobiles from the 1940s to the present day were on display as car enthusiasts poured over each one. The connection people have to cars is palpable, and seeing these restored vehicles brought back many fond memories.

Before the concert began, people claimed their stake on the lawn of Patriots Park. People set

out lawn chairs to get the perfect view of the stage.

People waved to each other and asked about each other’s families as children played underfoot.

For a brief moment, life was back to normal after 14 months of living with COVID-19. We have dealt with the Coronavirus for so long that gathering almost felt like a guilty pleasure. But we shouldn’t feel that way. Isn’t this what we have been working to achieve? Normalcy.

We want to get back to life, visiting friends, and connecting with others.

In May 2020, Operation Warp Speed began, and seven months later, the Pfizer vaccine was approved. That is a medical miracle. In January, Pfizer released its vaccine, and Americans began getting vaccinated.

As of May 1, 243 million people in the US have received their COVID-19 vaccine. It is a lifesaver, especially for those seniors in congregate living since they are more vulnerable. For a year, America watched in horror as the death toll from the virus

climbed. Now the vaccine is available to everyone 18 and over. Some hospitals are now refusing delivery of the vaccine because demand has waned.

What will it take to get folks vaccinated? I fear a resurgence of the virus will be the only thing to get the remaining population immunized. India and Latin American countries are dealing with that exact problem now. Will we be next? I pray not.

As we know, viruses mutate in search of a host.

That is how they survive.

Unless you have antibodies against the virus, you are susceptible to getting it, or at the least, carrying it. And you can only get antibodies by having had the virus or getting the vaccine.

What surprises me most is that the vaccine has become so politicized. I’m not sure how it happened, but it did. A year ago, President Trump introduced the initiative to defeat the Coronavirus. In January, President Biden improved upon the delivery, challenging Americans to administer 100 million

doses in his first 100 days.

Then the president doubled the number to 200 million, and Americans stepped up to achieve that goal. That is astounding.

If both political parties contributed to the making and delivery of the Coronavirus vaccine, how can refusing vaccination support one party over the other?

That makes no sense. The world is fighting an unseen enemy, and only if we stand together can we defeat it.

In a way, the pandemic only contributed to our current dysfunctional state of political affairs.

Without social interaction, we formed opinions and staked claim to the ideology with which we were

most comfortable. We became the armchair quarterbacks for the 2020 election. With sporting events canceled, we picked a political team instead and stood behind it 100%.

Are you Blue, or are you Red? Either way, we are all Americans, Red, Blue, or somewhere in the middle. The Coronavirus won’t change that, and we shouldn’t let politics get in the way of our humanity and caring for one another.

There is a reason why the phrase “God, Home, and Country” was coined.

God comes first, family comes second, and then comes country. In that order. I don’t mean to imply people should not have a political ideology,

Work on your Mother’s Day memories Plan your telephone call to say hello to mom this Sunday.

Better yet, if possiGlenn Mollette ble, make Guest Editorial a visit with a card or even some flowers or maybe some brownies or a special treat. Moms deserve to be treated special. Take her out to lunch or dinner if possible. It doesn’t have to be Sunday, maybe Saturday would work better. Tell mom what she means to you. Let her know that you love her and that you give thanks for all she has done for you. Let her know she was a good mother and that you are grateful for everything. Moms need to hear

it and you’ll be glad for everything you do for your mother.

However, you may not be so fortunate. My mother Eula Hinkle Mollette, passed away many years ago. My son’s mother Karen Mollette passed away in 2002.

The years go by quickly.

For too many, Mother’s Day can be a sad day because mom is no longer here. All you have is your many memories and too often memories are filled with mixed emotions. You remember what was wonderful but you may start thinking about all you wish you had done or could do if you had her today. If you have your mother today then celebrate in every way you can.

Sadly over 200,000 women are in prison or jail in the United States

but we shouldn’t let politics consume your lives or hamper relationships.

As I sat listening to the music in Patriots Park, I realized that those who made their way downtown Saturday were hoping for some normalcy. They wanted to enjoy the warm spring day, feel the sun on their faces, listen to music, and relax. Friends joined them, either by plan or absolute happenstance, to listen to music. Folks wanted to be with people they hadn’t seen in over a year. They just wanted life to be like it was before the pandemic. And for a brief time, people didn’t think about COVID-19 or politics and just enjoyed being together.

today. Eighty percent of these women have minor children. Mother’s Day is a painful day for these women and their families.

Millions of children live with parents who are addicted to alcohol or drugs or both. These children are raised in sad environments where they have had to emotionally and often even financially help their parents. Often, these daily struggles make it difficult to celebrate the “picture perfect” day that is touted by the flower and card companies. They may go to buy a Mother’s Day card but just cannot find one that really expresses how they feel. Many children have been raised in painful, abusive environments and Mother’s Day is depressing because they can’t conjure up that many good memories of mom.

Many of these children want mom to be well and healthy. They want to know that they are loved by mom. Unfortunately, there are so many adults who have mothers who could never turn their lives around. They are often exhausted from trying to make “Mom and family” work.

Mother’s Day is our opportunity to try to do the right things again.

Using words like, “I care, love, appreciate, thank you and any that express your heart’s desire to be connected are worthwhile expressions. When you do the best you can do, you can at least look back and know that you tried.

When Mom and our loved ones are no longer with us then all we have are our memories. If you have any time left to work on your Mother’s Day memories you won’t regret it in the years to come.

REZONING From Page 1A the word hospital, “Automobile Park (commercial) including elevator shafts when such facilities are physically connected to Catawba Indian Nation Trust Property.”

The height limitation was set at 130 feet and will facilitate the construction of Kings Mountain’s first parking garage. The vote passed 6 – 1, with Councilman Rhodes voting against. Councilman Rhodes voted against saying, “We shouldn’t make rules for specific projects and not the entire community.”

• Councilman Miller made the motion to adopt an ordinance to change Article VII – Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses. Section 7.4 Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses (See Table) Add on Page 61 and change the table of permitted and conditional uses as follows: Change Automobile Parking (commercial) from a Conditional Use Permit (C) to a Permitted by Right Use (X*) in the G-B zoning district and add as a note on the bottom of Page 61 (X*) “when such facilities are physically connected to Catawba Indian Nation Trust Property.”

Chairman of the Cleveland County ETJ and Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board Doug Lawing spoke prior to the vote saying, “I’m here to see that we do this the right way.

My problem with all of this is that we can’t start making exceptions for every little piece of property. The fact is we want to give a setback to the Catawba Indian Nation because, whether through their fault or the Federal Government’s fault, they didn’t take adequate steps to plan ahead and know that they need more than 16 acres. That is what this boils down to. Undoubtedly they are going to use in excess of that 16 acres or they wouldn’t be asking for the ability to connect to their property.”

“There are two methods here we could have used to do this.” He went on, “The more conventional method would have been to go through the Board of Adjustment and ask for a variance. But we chose not to do that because we thought going through the legislative process would be much quicker. Stuart told the Planning and Zoning Board, ‘to move the process along, vote yea or nay.’ We felt like you, as the city council, wanted to know yes or no if we approved it. In other words, not put it off two or three weeks. We could have said, ‘No, it needs to go through the Board of Adjustment,’ which I assure you would have taken much longer.

But we chose not to do it that way and that is why the Planning and Zoning Board voted 9 -1.”

City council voted to adopt the ordinances 6 – 1, with Councilman Rhodes vot-

ing against.

• Authorized the Mayor to execute a Moss Lake Use Agreement which would allow the Cleveland Masonic Lodge #202 to host an Inaugural Bass Fishing Tournament on May 22, 2021 from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Mother’s Day Sunday, May 9 These Local Businesses Would Like To Wish Moms Everywhere a Very Special Mother’s Day! Each and every day a new woman becomes a mother for the first time or all over again. Being a mother changes a person’s life in dramatic ways.

Mother’s Day is a great time of year to honor mothers and attempt to give back just a portion of the tireless love and devotion moms offer their children. Some children provide large gestures, while others feel it’s the little things that can help a mom to feel appreciated.

For those needing a little inspiration on treating their mothers in special ways, consider these ideas.

• Make mom a breakfast in bed with her favorite morning treats.

• Enjoy a movie at home with mom. Let her

pick the flick and share her favorite film with you.

• Agree to not bicker for the entire day, especially if you are prone to getting into arguments with siblings.

• Put together a collage of photos from moments you have shared with mom or your family.

• Cook a meal together and learn about everyone’s favorite recipes or the family history.

• Give her a locket with your photo inside and have a duplicate you can wear containing her photo.

• Customize a coffee mug, tote bag or a blanket with a meaningful sentiment or photo.

• Treat mom to a day off from her chores.

Tackle all of the jobs she

normally does for the family.

• Bake a delicious dessert that mom will absolutely devour.

• Pamper mom with a gift card for her favorite nail salon or massage therapy location.

• Prepare a jar of mom’s favorite candies wrapped in pieces of paper that have loving sentiments written on them.

• Compile a playlist of songs and artists mom prefers and download them to her phone.

• Begin a charm bracelet tradition by purchasing a charm bracelet and a new charm each year that represents a meaningful memory you both shared.

• Write a new email each day with an

inspirational quote or special words of love for mom.

• Tackle a task that she may not want to do herself, such as washing the exterior of her car and vacuuming the interior.

Mother’s Day gift ideas should come from the heart and can show mothers near and far how much they are appreciated and loved.

Amazing Grace Have you ever d o n e something where you needed forgiveness and grace?

Sure, we Dr. Jonathan all have.

M. Bundon For Chris- Worship Pastor tians, we First Baptist should Church k n o w m o r e about forgiveness and grace than the world. Why? Because we have experienced firsthand, God’s forgiveness and grace to us.

Throughout May, let’s explore the immense gift God has given to us, Jesus

Christ. In the 18th century, a man experienced the grace and forgiveness of God, John Newton. Many of you are familiar with the life and ministry of John Newton.

However, it’s essential to highlight points in his life to understand his conversion to Christianity.

Newton left school at the age of eleven to begin a rough life as a sailor. Eventually, he became in the deplorable practice of the slave trade, which sold people worldwide. Through a series of events (fearful, dramatic, and tearful), John Newton accepted Christ, and Christ transformed his life forever.

Newton abandoned the slave trade and dedicated his life to God. His ministry continues

Part 1

even today through his songs, most famously, Amazing Grace.

What is amazing grace?

Though we can look to a dictionary definition, the English language has a way of confusing and overusing words. The word amazing, for instance.

We use the word amazing to describe everything from a wife’s cooking to the newest fabric softener. Few things in life are truly amazing, but God’s love is amazing.

John reminds us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him would not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

The love that God gives is amazing. God’s love is also grace-filled. Unlike

Wednesday, May 5, 2021

human grace and forgiveness, God’s grace is pure. A popular acronym for grace is God’s riches at Christ’s expense. Though this is not exhaustive, the acronym does help us think. Grace is unmerited favor. We could not earn God’s grace, yet God gives grace in abundance.

Today, we need the grace of the Lord. Furthermore, we need to allow God’s love and grace to be shared with others. This world is in a mess.

Let us covenant together to show the love of Jesus this week.

Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found, Was blind, but now I see.

Oak Grove Baptist Church (Kings Mountain) will be having their annual "Memorial/Homecoming Service" on Sunday, May 16th at 11am with an on-campus luncheon to follow.

Come worship with them as they celebrate

God's faithfulness from the past and the "promise" we share in Him for today and in the future.

■ LIFESTYLES The Mountain Calls: Echoes of Appalachia

New exhibit at SAS now open A new art exhibit opens last week at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain.

The Mountain Calls: Echoes of Appalachia is on view now through June 4.

Four local artists: Stacey Pilkington-Smith, Jenna Webb, Robert Webb, and Crystal Whitesides strive to capture the life, magic, and forgotten ways of the Southern Appalachian people through various art mediums.

The four friends, Stacey Pilkington-Smith, Jenna and Robert Webb from Lincolnton and Crystal Whitesides from Vale, traveled around Appalachia to research and document scenes to use in their artwork.

Stacey Pilkington-Smith's mastery of illustration beautifully explores the folklore, myth, and curiosities about life in Appalachia, capturing a rapidly declining culture and their stories before they disappear or are rearranged to suit the needs of the future.

Robert Webb uses his skill of his camera lens to capture a moment in time that remains forever still for the viewer. Robert’s photographs are contemporary scenes but can easily be placed in the distant past as the landscape remains seemingly unchanged for over a century.

Both Jenna Webb and Crystal Whitesides high-

light the flora and fauna of the region in their different processes.

Jenna Webb creates her imagery with linocut printmaking and green crafting focusing on nature, and more specifically medicinal and edible plants of the Appalachia.

Crystal Whiteside translates her visions into ecoprints and mixed Diggin in the Garden media works of

Mountaineers blank Cramer, North Gaston to open season

Kings Mountain High’s softball team defeated Forestview last week to finish second to unbeaten Crest in the Big South Conference and earn a berth in the state 3A playoffs.

Photos by Gary Smart

KM softball beats Forestview to qualify for state 3A playoffs Kings Mountain High’s women’s softball team was scheduled to open play in the NCHSAA state tournament Monday at Monroe Piedmont.

A win there would set up a possible Kings Mountain at Crest battle Wednesday.

The Lady Chargers go into the tournament as the #1 seed from the West while the Lady Mountaineers are nine. Crest defeated KM twice during the regular season but had to go to the bottom of the seventh inning to win 1-0 in the final conference battle Wednesday.

Jenna Ramsey collected the Lady Mountaineers’ only hit while the Lady Chargers got seven hits off KM pitcher Kali Weaver with Addie Beaver getting two hits and scoring the only run. Mackenzie Hayes went the distance for Crest, striking out 15 batters and issuing just one base on balls.

The Lady Mountaineers wrapped up the second seed from the Big South Conference last Monday with a 10-9 victory over Forestview. The Lady Mountaineers led 5-1 after two innings, 7-1 after four and 8-4 after six before the Lady Jaguars rallied to take a 9-8 lead in the top of

In the bottom of the seventh, the Lady Mountaineers got a pair of walks and a single by Jenna Ramsey to load the bases with two away.

Alayna Patrick stepped to the plate and won the game with a two-run single.

Patrick finished with 3-for-5 with three runs batted in and pitcher Kali Weaver went 3-for-5 with one RBI

FINAL BSC SOFTBALL STANDINGS Teams Conf. W-L All W-L Crest 12-0 12-0 Kings Mountain 8-4 8-5 North Gaston 7-5 7-7 Stuart Cramer 7-5 9-5 Forestview 6-6 7-6 Hunter Huss 2-10 2-12 Ashbrook 0-12 0-12 while striking out 13 batters.

Ramsey, Andrea Melton and

Austyn Dixon added two hits each.

Kings Mountain High’s baseball team is off to a fast start in Big South Conference play with wins over Stuart Cramer and North Gaston.

They were scheduled to host Hunter Huss last night at Lancaster Field and Ashbrook will visit the Mountaineers Friday at 7 p.m.

The Mountaineers opened their season last Tuesday with a 7-0 win over Cramer at Lancaster Field, then traveled to Dallas Friday and shutout North Gaston 4-0.

Good pitching and defense were the keys, just as head coach Brad Melton was looking for in preseason practice.

In those first two games the Mountaineers did not commit an error and got good pitching by committee.

The Mountaineers took advantage of a lot of their opponent’s pitching and fielding mistakes in their win over Cramer. The North Gaston game was much tougher as KM saw two of the best pitchers in the Big South in Jairo Oseo and Devin Toney, but got good pitching from their own Zane Brockman and Wyatt Davis as well as timely hits that broke the game open late.

Brockman worked five and two-third innings to get the win and Davis came on in relief and did a great job also.

Brockman fanned nine batters and Davis two.

“Our pitching was really good,” said Coach Melton.

“The pitchers have been spot-on in these first two games and (at North Gaston) we manufactured some runs when we had to.”

Jacob Hamrick had two hits for the Mountaineers and AJ Wylie, Brockman, Boone Cartee and Charlie

Melton added one each. The big hit was a two-run single

by Peyton Fisher that put the Mountaineers up 3-0 in the sixth inning. KM had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the first and capped off the win with a sacrifice fly by Cartee in the seventh.

“Zane’s pitching was really good, but he didn’t really have his A game going,” Melton noted. “But he competed enough to throw a solid game through five innings.

That’s a good sign when you are not on your game but can still compete like that. North Gaston has two really good pitchers and it’s good to get a win like that. It really felt good to beat them. We had only seven hits but we had three or four balls hit really well but right at somebody.

We had good pitching and hitting and I was proud that we didn’t make any errors.”

KM-CRAMER Kings Mountain got only one hit but took advantage of Stuart Cramer mistakes to score four runs in the first inning on the way to a 7-0 win over the Purple Storm Tuesday night at Lancaster Field.

Parker Richards’ bases loaded single – his first of three hits for the game – plated AJ Wylie with the Mountaineers’ first run of the season. Wylie had actually struck out to lead off the home half of the first but reached first safely on a passed ball.

Walks to Zane Brockman and Boone Cartee loaded the bases for Richards. KM went on to score on a passed ball, Charlie Melton’s sacrifice fly and a wild pitch to complete the four-run inning.

North Elementary supports Relay for Life

By Anna Hughes

Kali Weaver works on a win over Forestview in last week’s game at Kings Mountain.

North Elementary School’s Relay for Life Team, No one Fights Alone, had a week’s worth of fundraising activities the whole school could participate in. The school’s goal

was $500. The Relay Team raised $3,440.27!!

The activities included buying paper feet and cupcakes to honor someone or in memory of someone, Love’s Fish Box spirit night, a coin drive, sno cones, and a hat day. The

biggest hit was the coin drive, it raised $2,184.27 alone!!

There was a friendly competition between classes. The 1st place winner for Pre-k - 1st: Mrs. Deason and Ms. Cannedy’s First Grade Class and 2nd place went to Mrs. Feaster and Mrs. Legg’s Pre-K class.

The 1st place winner for 2nd - 4th: Mrs. Berryhill and Ms. Crawford’s Second Grade Class and

2nd place went to Ms. Sherrill’s 3rd Grade class.

These classes will be having an ice cream party.

The school also had a North Tigers fight for a cure day, Superheroes fight for a cure day, and Relay for Life and purple day! North School was truly thankful to all of their students and families for helping contribute to such a great cause.

SEASON From Page 1B hits while fanning five batters over a 3.1 inning stretch.

Wyatt Davis, Caleb Broome and Zane Brockman also took turns on the mound and the foursome combined for 13 strikeouts. Broome and Brockman had three each and Davis two.

Wylie’s solo home run over the left field fence and Richards’ RBI single to left made it 6-0 in the second inning. KM’s final run came in the sixth on a single to left by Richards.

Cramer’s three pitchers combined for six walks and seven strikeouts.

Cleveland County Health Department announces the launch of its new website available at www.clevelandcountyhdnc.com.

‘Ironically, our website crashed due to a virus right at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said DeShay Oliver, Deputy Health Director, Cleveland County Health Department.

“Since that time, we have been utilizing a subpage of the county’s website to continue to provide information, but on a somewhat limited capacity. During a time when more people than ever are visiting our website for COVID-19 information and updates, we recognize the important of

having a high-quality and user-friendly website. We hope our community will find our new website just that.”

You can continue to reach the health department’s new website as a subpage under “County Departments” from the Cleveland County Government website available at www. clevelandcounty.com or you can visit it directly at www. clevelandcountyhdnc.com.

“We encourage community members and partners to not only visit our new website, but to also share with others who could benefit from this information,” says Oliver.

NC House passes No Veteran Left Behind Act On April 22, NC House of Representatives unanimously approved the No Veteran Left Behind Act (HB 370), which seeks to help law enforcement better serve veterans who are dealing with mental health and substance abuse emergencies. A group of severely wounded veterans attended the House session and were honored by the lawmakers on the floor during the bill's consideration.

In conjunction with North Carolina-based, The Independence Fund, the No Veteran Left Behind Act will launch a pilot project across the state to

provide additional training for law enforcement to help improve interactions between first responders and veterans in crisis.

“We’re very excited to partner with such a great organization like The Independence Fund, which has a proven-track record of assisting veterans and their families,” said primary bill sponsor, House Majority Leader John Bell (R-Wayne). “Through our early conversations, we realized we had a shared goal for helping our veterans and we identified a few areas of need in North Carolina. This includes the No Veteran Left Behind Act, which will bet-

ter equip law enforcement personnel with the necessary tools to assist veterans in crisis.”

The initial pilot program will include the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the Sheriff's Departments in Brunswick, Chatham, Craven, Cumberland, McDowell, Nash, Onslow, Union, and Wayne Counties.

“As a thirty-three year law enforcement veteran, this is a muchneeded bill that will be a great benefit to local communities,” said Rep. Charlie Miller (R-Brunswick), who is a primary bill sponsor and the Chief

Deputy of the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office.

“I have personally dealt with situations where this training would have been very helpful. I want to thank The Independence Fund for their partnership in this effort to provide law enforcement with additional tools to assist veterans.”

Under the bill, The Independence Fund will provide additional education and training so that a mental health emergency is not criminalized, but rather the situation is deescalated, and the veteran is connected with help and support.

North's PE teacher, Coach McDaniel, said he would shave his beard if the school raised their goal.

The students and staff were very excited to see Coach McDaniel without a beard! The class that raised the most money was Mrs. Orders' 4th grade class, they raised $686.11! Mrs. Wyte and Mrs. Camp's first grade class and Mrs. Deason, and Ms. Cannedy's first grade class had the most students

State Highway Patrol encourages driver vigilance near agricultural areas As the state’s vibrant agricultural industry becomes more present on the roadways this time of year, the State Highway Patrol reminds motorist of practices they can take to keep everyone safe.

It is legal in North Carolina for farm equip-

ment to travel on public roads except for controlled access roadways such as interstates. Farm equipment in general would be more active on roadways during the early morning and late evening periods and in areas that could be marked with NCDOT

warning signs indicating their potential presence.

Although this time of year and the fall are peak times for farm equipment to be used along our state’s roadways, the public should be alert to their presence yearround.

Medicare Coverage Options for Retirees Eager to Travel Dear Savvy Senior, What are the best Medicare coverage options for COVID-vaccinated retirees who are eager to travel? My wife and I will both turn 65 over the next few months and would like to know which Medicare plans are best for extensive travelers.

Almost 65 Dear Almost, The best Medicare plans for retirees who plan to travel will vary depending on your destinations. But, before you book a trip make sure you know the current CDC COVID-19 travel recommendations (see CDC.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers), and research your destinations too so you can know if restrictions apply wherever you’re going.

Medicare Review Before we dissect how Medicare works for travelers, let’s start with a quick review of your different Medicare options.

One option is original Medicare, which covers (Part A) hospital services and (Part B) doctor’s visits and other medical services.

If you choose original Medicare, you may also want to get a Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan (if you don’t already

have coverage) to cover your medications, and a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy to help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

travel domestically, original Medicare may be the better option because it provides coverage everywhere in the U.S. and its territories as long as the doctor or hospital accepts Medicare.

Or, you could get a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan instead, which is sold through private insurance companies, and covers everything original Medicare covers, plus many plans also offer prescription drug coverage and extra services like vision, hearing and dental care all in one plan.

Medicare Advantage plans, on the other hand, which have become very popular among new enrollees may restrict your coverage when traveling throughout the U.S. This is because most Medicare Advantage plans are HMOs or PPOs and require you to use doctors, hospitals and pharmacies that are in the plan’s network within a service area or geographic region.

So, if you’re traveling outside that area you may need to pay a higher fee, or your services may not be covered at all.

To help you evaluate your options contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see ShiptaCenter.org), which provides free Medicare counseling.

You can also shop and compare Medicare health and drug plans and Medigap policies at Medicare.gov/find-a-plan.

Also note that whatever Medicare plans you choose to enroll in, if you find that they are not meeting your needs or your needs change, you can always switch to a different plan during the open enrollment period, which is between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7.

U.S. Travel If you and your husband are planning to

If you do decide to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, be sure you check the benefit details carefully to see what costs and rules apply when traveling outside your service area.

Traveling Abroad If you’re planning to travel abroad much, a Medicare Advantage plan may be a better option because many Advantage plans today offer emergency care coverage outside the U.S. But be sure you check before you choose a plan because not all plans offer it.

Original Medicare, on the other hand does not provide coverage outside the U.S. and its territories except in rare circumstances (see Medicare.gov/coverage/travel), and Medicare drug plans will not cover prescription drugs purchased outside the U.S. either.

But if you do choose original Medicare, you can still get some coverage abroad through a Medigap policy. Plans D, G, M and N plans will pay for 80 percent of medically necessary emergency care outside the U.S. to new enrollees, but only for the first 60 days of the trip, and you have to meet an annual $250 deductible first.

There’s also a lifetime limit of $50,000, so you’d need to cover any costs above that amount.

Some beneficiaries, regardless of their Medicare coverage, purchase travel medical insurance for trips abroad, which you can shop for at InsureMyTrip.com or SquareMouth.com.
