Jenkins’ project City mourns the death of helps homeless former Mayor Kyle Smith By Loretta Cozart
USA National Miss North Carolina Jr. Teen, BreAnn Jenkins, joined Mayor Scott Neisler to dedicate Patriot Park’s new Blessing Box on Tuesday, June 4. Joining them in the dedication were Corey Parker and Tracy Stewart, carpentry students at Kings Mountain High School who constructed The Blessing Box. When asked, BreAnn Jenkins explained why she took on this project. “I have a concern for the homeless in Kings Mountain. There are a couple Blessing Boxes in town, but Patriots Park is
centrally located in a spot many folks have access to easily. We hope this will be blessing to them,” she said. Currently, no church has taken on supplying the Blessing Box, so BreAnn Jenkins and her family are taking on the responsibility for now. It is filled with water, canned goods, ramen noodles, oatmeal, and toiletries. Participating in the ceremony were Mayor Scott Neisler, BreAnn Jenkins, Corey Parker, Tracy Stewart, and Rev. Dale Lawing who blessed the box. Theresa Wingo, an advocate for the needs of the homeless, also attended.
Smith in his own style led government transition Former Mayor Kyle Smith, who interjected his own style and personality in the mayor’s office, died last week at the age of 91 The city manager/council form of government was inaugurated and that was his platform when he announced for the seat succeeding John Henry Moss who had served for 22 ½ years and did not seek reelection ending an era in Kings Mountain politics. Smith led a smooth transition in government which included other big changes at city hall including a sev-

en-member city council with the method of electing by wards that has continued over the years. Smith did not seek re-election in 1991 after serving four years. “I’m stepping back just to be a good citizen,’’ he told The Herald.
By all accounts he was. An astute parliamentarian who rapped his gavel at times and led by the book, he also brought to the job his experience in public relations by not only formerly serving as personnel manager at Duplex Shannon and Combustion Engineering but prior to moving to Kings Mountain serving in the US Navy during WWII, Korea and Vietnam and retiring as Chief after over 20 years. Redistricting, another ‘first’ was accomplished during the waning months of his term as mayor. Smith told The Herald in 1991 that fairness to all was what he emphasized
and at his swearing-in as the chief executive he said, “no favors.’’ He pushed for pay raises for the employees. Another ‘first’ in the Smith administration was the seating of a minority member in Ward I. Norma Bridges served as mayor pro tem during the Smith administration. The present mayor was Ward 6 commissioner for two years 1989-91. “Kyle Smith was a great leader in a time when Kings Mountain needed one,’’ said Mayor G. Scott Neisler. “Everyone knew See SMITH, Page 7A

By unanimous vote Cleveland C o u n t y Commissioners have approved a $151,366,084 BRIAN EPLEY budget for fiscal year 2019-2020 with no increase in county property taxes. The tax rate remains 57 cents per $100 of assessed valuation of taxable property. The county fire service district’s tax rate will remain the same at 8.75 percent per $100 tax valuation for all county fire districts. County Manager Brian Epley presented the proposed budget at a recent meeting of the five-member board. The budget also includes a 2 percent cost-of-living
adjustment for county employees and a 3 percent raise for employees in the Sheriff’s Department. Although the county will see an 8 percent increase in employee health insurance the $700,000 is absorbed in the general fund and there are no insurance increases to employees. The county will continue to offer education assistance to full time employees with one year of service. The county reimburses the employee up to $1200 annually for tuition for both graduate and undergraduate work- related course work. Cleveland County will partner with Cleveland Community College and six local manufacturing industries in a new skills trade program which will offer high school students a
chance to receive training in HVAC, plumbing and electric. The county will also partner with CCC in the creation of a culinary program as part of their course offerings. Students will use the commercial kitchen at the LeGrand Center for lab space. The county continues to partner in workforce development efforts at CCC including the innovative Accelerate Cleveland project to be launched in 2020. Cleveland Community College is allotted $2,283,872 in the new county budget, an increase of $150,000 over last year’s budget. Public school funding in the 2019-20 county budget shows an increase. The allocation is $30.2 million, which equates to $2,017 per See BUDGET, Page 7A

Cameron Stokes Ware Cameron Stokes Ware – lover of history, nature and politics, and fiercely devoted to his family – passed away peacefully on June 9, 2019, at his home in Kings Mountain. Born in Kings Mountain on July 15, 1926, to Wayne LaFayette Ware, Sr. and
Mary Black Ware, Cameron was a peach and apple farmer and owner of Mountain View Farms for many years. Socially, environmentally, and politically active, he worked closely with and served on the board of such volunteer organizations as Cleveland County Farm Bureau, Cleveland County Soil and Water Conservation, North Carolina Apple Growers Association and Bethware Progressive Club, and was particularly proud of his time as chairman of the Cleveland County Democratic Party in the 1970s. He served in the US Army as a Topographic Surveyor from 1945-1947. In addition to his love for peaches and politics, he was a devoted fan of the New York Yankees. Over the years, he took great pleasure in watching his son, Todd, play baseball, from tee ball through Kings Mountain High School’s state championship in 1993. He also enjoyed listening to his daughter, Kim, bang on the drums throughout grade school and later sing her songs to him about life’s blessings and challenges. He put others before him always, and was endlessly concerned for the well-being of his sister Jeanne. He deeply loved his wife Linda above all else. Cameron will be remembered fondly for his engaging, personable nature; quick wit; strong will; big ears and heart; and a work ethic that had no bounds. Many in the community will recall his distributing holiday fruit baskets to the local hospitals, nursing homes and neighbors; handing out apples and peaches to the kids along Phifer Road; serving as a boss and role model for countless young folks; and working to educate others about farming and land stewardship.

Pettis advocates awareness Cleveland County hosts Opioid and Heroin for Sickle Cell disease Jailah Pettis, Kings Mountain native and Miss Taste of Charlotte 2019, has chosen as her Social Impact Initiative “Strength in a Crisis: Advocating for Sickle Cell Disease Awareness.“ Her efforts bring attention to this inherited disease through community blood drives and by increasing public awareness. According to the National Institutes of Health, Sickle Cell Disease impacts 70,000 to 80,000 Americans each year and is the most inherited blood disorder in the United States. The disease is estimated to occur in 1 in 500 African Americans and 1 in 1,000 to 1,400 Hispanic Americans. Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells that have a crescent, or sickle, shape. These cells do not last as long as normal red blood cells, leading to anemia. The sickle cells also get stuck in small blood vessels and block the flow of blood and oxygen to major organs in the body. Signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease usually begin in early childhood and may include anemia, repeated infections, and periodic episodes of pain (called crises). Other complications include fatigue and delayed growth. According to the Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center, "The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition; the parents are known as "carriers". Autosomal recessive disorders are typically not seen in every generation of an affected family.” Treatment typically focuses on controlling symptoms and may include pain medicines during crises;

The Cleveland County Public Health Center in partnership with the Cleveland County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition will host an Opioid and Heroin Community Forum on June 13 as part of their continued work to help alleviate the impact of opioid and other substance use in Cleveland County. Local public health and treatment professionals will speak about local drug use trends, prevention and treatment resources available in the community, current efforts to help alleviate the issue, and what others Jailah Pettis chose “Strength in a Crisis: Advocating for Sickle Cell Disease Awareness,“ as her Social Impact Initiative. As Miss Taste of Charlotte, Pettis is guaranteed a spot in the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Pageant later this month. Photo provided hydroxyurea, to reduce the number of pain episodes; antibiotics and vaccines to prevent bacterial infections; and blood transfusions. The medication(s) listed below have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as orphan products for treatment of this condition. • Hydroxyurea (Brand name: Droxia) - FDA-approved indication: To reduce the frequency of painful crises and to reduce the need for blood transfusions in adult patients with sickle cell anemia with recurrent moderate to severe painful crises (generally at least 3 during the preceding 12 months). • L-glutamine oral powder (prescription grade) (Brand name: Endari) FDA-approved indication: To reduce the acute complications of sickle cell disease in adult and pediatric patients 5 years of age and
older. • Hydroxyurea (Brand name: Siklos) - FDA-approved indication: To reduce the frequency of painful crises and to reduce the need for blood transfusions in pediatric patients, 2 years of age and older, with sickle cell anemia with recurrent moderate to severe painful crisis. The FDA encourages the development of new Sickle Cell Disease treatments by giving certain drugs and biological products “orphan status.” (This designation is possible for products intended to treat rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States per year. These sponsors can qualify for incentives like tax credits and marketing exclusivity.)

Nuts and bolts of caregiving By Lynn Lail Now more than ever, involving family caregivers is a necessary part of working with older people and adults with disabilities in all practice settings. As our population ages, more people with chronic and disabling conditions are choosing to live at home or in the community, launching their family members and close
friends into action as caregivers. Families provide 80% of the long-term care in this country, and the need for information is great and growing. Lee Ann Long, MSN, RN, CHPN, and Vice President of Professional Development for Hospice Cleveland County wants to help you prepare for and work through the challenges of being a caregiver.
Participants will be given tools and resources to help caregivers. Other agencies’ staff, families, and the public are invited to attend. Please call 704-7340447 to register for this presentation as a light supper will be provided. Come join us on Tuesday, June 18 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to gain some valuable insight on what every caregiver should know.

■ MEDITATION
Storms …. “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7, KJV) Just as we began to start the official vacation season and as we Rev. John Houze wind down the People’s Baptist Memorial holiday, Church June begins. It’s the month when summer arrives, Father’s Day is celebrated, and the school year comes to an end. It’s also the beginning of the hurricane season and a time for pop-up thunderstorms which often take us unaware and causes us some frustration, especially when we’ve
planned an outing or fired up the grill; but somehow, we manage to adjust and work with the circumstances as they are. Storms are necessary and beneficial in nature and even as a metaphor in our lives. Have you noticed how storms often wash away dead limbs from trees, dust and debris? How it waters the soil and purifies the air, giving a sense of freshness and and better appreciation for the clear days. In life we must realize storms will come; some we can prepare for others may take us unaware. But the difficulty is not so much the storms but how we respond to them. I’ve notice in areas where storms are really severe, the people prepare the best they can and after it has passed, they move
forward, never giving up. For those who have a relationship with the Savior storms come to make us better, not bitter. If it had not been for the storm, we would not have made some of the decisions that made our lives better. There needs to be some rain in our lives to appreciate the sunshine but remember, anywhere you have all sunshine and no rain, you have a desert. Most storms are short lived and once it’s over, we turn our chairs upright, pick up the debris and fire up the grill. We keep moving forward. In storm prone areas, they help each other through the storms. Just remember you can cast all your cares on God for he cares for you. -Be Blessed!

Library’s Community Garden Party a blooming success By Loretta Cozart On Saturday, June 8, Mauney Memorial Library’s Community Garden Party drew dozens of gardeners interested in the new Seed Library. The front lawn of the Library was abuzz with gardeners talking with Cleveland County Extension Master Gardeners Susan Arrowood,
Judy Ford, and Phyllis Phillips. Gardeners attending learned about different types of seeds, how to plant and save seeds, and why it is important to grow heirloom varieties. The Master Gardeners introduced the new Seed Library, where community members took seeds to try and were encouraged to share seeds they have

Shelby man charged with attempted first-degree murder Provided by Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department On June 6, Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a shooting in the area of Devine Road, located in Shelby, North Carolina. Deputies responded to the scene and located a vehicle at 4006 Devine Road. The vehicle was occupied by the driver, a seventeen-year-old male and his passenger a fourteen-year-old male. The fourteen-year-old had a single gunshot wound to his upper chest. Lifesaving aide was given to the victim until EMS arrived and transported him to Atrium Health in Shelby, North Carolina. While several deputies attended to the victim other deputies located the address where the shooting occurred. Deputies responded
ALSUBAGHA GABRIEL to the address of 908 Jim Elliott Road, Shelby, North Carolina where they located evidence of the shooting and the suspect, Gabriel Alsubagha. Mr. Alsubagha was detained as the investigation began. The driver of the vehicle was able to positively identify Mr. Alsubagha as the person who shot his friend. Investigators also served a search warrant on the res-
idence of 908 Jim Elliott Road and located a Glock .45cal handgun, approximately (2) ounces of marijuana, and approximately $1,800 in US Currency. Based on interviews and the evidence found during the search investigators believe the shooting was the result of a drug deal gone wrong. The victim was transported to Atrium Health in Charlotte, North Carolina after initial care in Shelby and is in critical but stable condition. The Investigation is still ongoing and additional charges are forthcoming.

SMITH From Page 1A that we would not always have a strong mayor like John Henry Moss to run the city. The council, under the leadership of Kyle Smith, stepped into the unknown in changing our form of government and not knowing what the result might be. The city manager form of government has proven to be a turning
point in our success in Kings Mountain and Kyle Smith is responsible for it.’’ The mayor continued, “Kyle was a great friend and mentor and from time to time I would update him on city business. He was always pleasant with the results taking pride that the city manager form of government was working and working well. ‘’We owe Kyle a debt of gratitude for the service he has given to us all,’’ said

Neisler. City Manager Marilyn Sellers said, “Kyle Smith was mayor when I was hired by the first city manager as administrative assistant 30 years ago. Kyle always supported staff and cared about the citizens and their needs. He has remained a friend over the years and would often stop by city hall to say hello and reminisced about years past and have a good laugh about old times. Sellers said she would “always remember Kyle for the love he had for the city and the encouragement he gave me when hired as city manager.’’

Cleveland Community College spring Commencement Ceremony On Friday, May 10, 2019 Cleveland Community College held its spring commencement ceremony in the James B. Petty Amphitheater. More than 450 graduates were eligible for a degree, diploma or certificate, and approximately 700 credentials were awarded. Jason Hurst, officially presiding over his first commencement as CCC president welcomed graduates and their family and friends, as well as staff, faculty, board members, and special guests, including Dr. Stephen Fisher, superintendent of Cleveland County Schools. Hurst commented that “our partnership with Cleveland County Schools is so valuable for our area high school students. It gives students an opportunity to explore career interests tuition-free.” Hurst went on to say that one partnership, the Career and College Promise Criminal Justice Program was celebrating a milestone that night as its 100th graduate would cross the stage. Board Chairman, Wes Westmoreland, introduced the commencement speaker, David Pitts, who retired last year as president of Classic Graphics, a printing company located in Charlotte, NC. Early in his speech, Pitts pointed out to the audience that he didn’t have an MBA or even a bachelor’s degree. He went to trade school. In 1983, he and a partner, both 23 years old at the time, started a printing company. When they sold it in 2013 sales were about $80 million. Pitts remained president of the company until his retirement last year. At that time, the company’s sales exceeded $90 million. In his speech, Pitts talked about his journey to
becoming president of a $90 million company, saying “Our secret wasn’t much of a secret. Everything we lacked in knowledge and experience and money, we just compensated for with long hours and hard work. The best part of my story is that I am NOT an extraordinary person. I am just too stubborn to quit.” He went on to offer this advice to the graduates: “Everything that’s behind you is just that, behind you. Your future is about what you do from this day forward. . .You already have within you the qualities and talents that will make you successful if you work to develop them. . .When people tell you that your limitations will make success impossible, succeed anyway.” During the program, 28 graduates were recognized for maintaining a 4.0 grade point average through the end of the spring semester. In addition, graduate Abigail Hamrick was recognized as CCC’s 2019 Academic Excellence Award winner. Dr. Hurst and Cleveland County Schools Superintendent, Dr. Stephen Fisher, presented Hamrick with a medallion and plaque to commemorate her accomplishment. Hamrick is one of 58 students chosen across the North Carolina Community College System as an academic excellence winner. She is a student at Cleveland Early College High School and will graduate as valedictorian of her high school class. Friday night, she graduated from CCC with an Associate in Science degree. Hurst also announced this year’s CCC Excellence in Teaching and Outstanding Staff Member award
Cleveland Community College spring Commencement Ceremony was held on May 10, 2019.
winners. The full-time faculty winner was Kevin Proctor, who has worked at the College since 2014. He is a Criminal Justice instructor who works primarily with our Career and College Promise students. The part-time faculty winner was Jeff Clevenger, who has taught in the Basic Law Enforcement Training
Program since 1992, and the Criminal Justice associate degree program since 2013. Annette Toms, who works as the TRIO SSS project director, was the full-time Outstanding Staff Member. She has been with the College since 2010 and works to assist and encourage TRIO students as they work toward achieving
their educational goals. This year, for the first time, the College recognized a part-time outstanding staff member. Sandy Logan received that award for her organizational and planning skills and her willingness to help her coworkers in any department. After graduates had their moment in the spotlight,
the evening concluded with Hurst conferring the degree, diploma or certificate on each graduate. “I take great pride in conferring upon you your associate degree, diploma or certificate with all the honors rights and privileges thereunto appertaining.” Congratulations class of 2019!

West Wildcats celebrate academic success By Nikki Nolen Kings Mountain High School graduates, cheerleaders and band members came to West Elementary School on May 28 to participate in an academic pep rally for West School’s third and fourth grade students. In return, West School students celebrated the accomplishments of the high school graduates by lining the halls and cheering for them as they
marched through. The third and fourth grade students along with the graduates participated in an EOG pep rally with songs led by school counselor, Beth Lloyd and fourth grade teacher, Casey Mauney. While the third and fourth graders were participating in the pep rally, the Pre-K through second grade students lined the walking track outside. They held up signs of en-
couragement and test tips for the students who would be taking the EOG the next day. When the third and fourth graders came out to the track, they ran a few victory laps while being cheered on by the entire student body. This was an outstanding opportunity for everyone to celebrate academic success from PreK to high school. We are so proud of all of our students!

KM Sailor instructs aboard Navy Destroyer Wallen punctuates his career story, noting the birth of each of his three children along the way. “I will be honest, there are times that you will be separated from your family for months at a time, I did it for 15 months and only saw my family for 10 days out of those 15 months. The end goal is to provide for your family, yourself, and a level of security for your loved ones,” he says. “The decision to join the Navy has allowed me to mature from a wet behind the ears 18-year-old, to a professional leader who dedicates

NC, every day for leading me on this journey. My accomplishments are as much hers as anyone else's,” Wallen says. “It has been my honor
AND
Twenty years ago, James Wallen graduated from Kings Mountain High School and enlisted in the US Navy. It was a decision that changed the course of his life. Since then, he served both aboard ship and shore side, learning from each assignment and gaining the skills necessary to lead Sailors. Today he is a Senior Chief Boatswain's Mate aboard the USS Mason, deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet areas of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points. Over the course of his career, Wallen has served in various capacities. He was first assigned to the Guided Missile Cruiser, USS Bunker Hill and then served at the Navy Recruiting Station in Raleigh. Next, he was assigned as a Navy Recruiter in Goldsboro. While in this assignment, his oldest son, Corey, was born. From Goldsboro, Wallen was next stationed at Mayport, FL onboard the Guided Missile Frigate USS McInerney where he was meritoriously advanced to the rank of Petty Officer First Class. “My time on the USS McInerney was most rewarding because of our mission. We were responsible for stopping drugs from being transported to the United States from South America,” he said adding, “In 2010 my second son, Jacob, was born.” With the assignment as Chief Petty Officer, Wallen was required to transfer to another shore side command in 2012. With limited options, he chose to go back to recruit-
ing at Cyberspace Recruiting in Millington, TN. “In this role, I became apt to the ways of interpersonal relationships to ensure that people fully understood what the Navy was about and how the Navy could possibly benefit them. This tour was very successful, and I was able to learn about a whole new side of the Navy. It was there that I met my, now wife, Alexandra and we have a beautiful daughter Beaux, pronounced ‘Bo’, he adds. “In 2015, I took a demanding role overseas on the Patrol Craft, USS Whirlwind for 15 months. I was introduced to proper Sailorization techniques and the complexities that are involved with Executive decision making in the Navy. “In 2017, I reported onboard the Guided Missile Destroyer, USS Mason, it is here that I became the figure-head of stern fairness and professionalism. In my capacity I have been directly responsible for the lives and careers of multiple Sailors. My selection to Senior Chief Petty Officer came as a full surprise. I had been eligible for the position since 2015 and it seemed like all hope was lost. I am truly honored and blessed to be in the top 4% of all Enlisted Sailors serving in the United States Navy,” Wallen said. “If anyone ever thinks that life has dealt them a bad hand, I encourage you to speak with a Navy Recruiter, determine what it is that you could become for yourself, your family, and your future. Twenty years may sound like a long time, but I still remember my 18-year-old self, checking onboard my first ship. The opportunities are boundless. All that is needed is a will to exceed and a desire to change your life for the better,” he said.
