All municipalities in Cleveland County, except Shelby, have the non-partisan plurality-type election which means the top vote-getters are elected, regardless of whether they

CLIFTON PHILBECK receive a majority.

The City of Shelby uses the non-partisan Primary and election method, says County Elections Director Clifton Philbeck which means if the number of candidates for the contest is greater than twice the number of seats to be elected there will be a Primary election. Shelby’s Primary election would be Oct. 8.

Four- year terms of board members in the Cleveland County Water District are expiring this year. They are Dewey Cook, C. J. (Pete) Pedersen, Bill Cameron and Tony M. Brooks.

Since Senate Bill S. 790 was introduced in March, politics in North Carolina have gotten heated as each side argues to have their opinions heard on a possible casino in Kings Mountain.

Last week, Senator Burr released a letter asserting that “the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) are arguing against the Catawba Indian Nation’s casino project to protect their gaming business.” That assertion, along with other accusations of greed and corruption, resulted in a sharp response from EBCI Chief Richard Sneed, saying Burr’s comments were “meanspirited and outright false statements about our Nation and our people.”

Burr’s letter states, "The tribe also donates hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to North Carolina politicians with little scrutiny…

Here in 2018 alone, the tribe donated nearly $360,000 to lawmakers in the North Carolina General Assembly.

Their sway was evident when many of those lawmakers then signed the Cherokee’s letter opposing the Catawba gaming facility,” he wrote.”

Burr was referencing a letter written to the U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee in May expressing opposition to the bill (S. 790) that was signed by 38 of the 50 members of the North See CASINO, Page 2A

Parker buys Fulton building

By Loretta Cozart Michael Parker, owner and president of Parker Construction and Development, purchased the building located at 119 W. Mountain Street downtown. Since being built, Sagesport, Fulton’s, Myers’ Department Store, and Piggly Wiggly among other businesses have occupied the building.

It is at least 100-years old.

Parker is married to Marlowe, daughter of June "Punkin" Higginbotham.

Last year, the Parkers built their forever home here. “I really love Kings Mountain,” said Parker. “It reminds me of my hometown of Canton, NC. When I saw the town, I immediately felt at home.”

■ OBITUARIES

James Anderson SHELBY – James Jackson Anderson passed peacefully at the Wendover Hospice House in Shelby, NC on June 17, 2019. He was born in Morganton, NC on January 3, 1932.

Mr. Anderson was the youngest child of William Powe Anderson and Rachel Pittman Anderson. Jim, as he was known, had three older brothers, William Powe, Jr. (Billy, killed in Korea), Robert Burton (Bobby), and the Reverend Charles Pittman Anderson, and two sisters, Hazel Rhyne and Mary Elisabeth (Libby) Brown.

His paternal grandfather was Dr. James R. Anderson, a Morganton physician. Jim’s great-grandfather was a distinguished Presbyterian clergyman, the Reverend Robert Burton Anderson, as was his great-great-grandfather, the Reverend James Henley Thornwell, an early president of the University of South Carolina.

Senator Sam Ervin was a cousin of Jim, as Senator Ervin’s mother and Jim’s paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Torrence Powe, were sisters.

Jim’s parents were able to make sure their family, and even others, had enough through the Depression. Jim was modest but justifiably proud of his family lineage and inherited many traits that made him a good and honorable person.

Jim graduated from Morganton High School in 1950.

He loved sports and played football and basketball.

After high school he joined the US Air Force, serving from 1951 until being honorably discharged in 1955. While in the Air Force he traveled abroad, including England and Japan. He was stationed at Kimpo Air Base in Korea, where he was part of a camera crew that maintained equipment for reconnaissance flights. He made some best friends in the service with whom he stayed in touch over the years.

Jim met his future wife, Patricia H. Anderson, in 1955 at the soda shop in Whiteley’s Pharmacy in Morganton. Jim and Pat were married on August 21, 1955, at Calvary Baptist Church in Morganton. Among the new couple’s friends from Morganton were Ned and Ann Thompson, with whom Jim and Pat maintained a strong lifelong friendship.

They both attended Appalachian State Teacher’s College in Boone, where Jim earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1958.

After graduation, Jim started his career as a history teacher at the North Carolina School for the Deaf (NCSD) in Morganton for two years, where he also earned a diploma in the Theory and Practice of Teaching the Deaf in 1960. Jim also enjoyed being the assistant coach for the football and basketball teams when he taught at NCSD. He next taught at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine. In addition to teaching during the school year, he began working in summers at the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in St. Augustine.

He subsequently joined the National Park Service (NPS) and worked full-time at Castillo de San Marcos, then at the Wright Brothers National Memorial and Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on the Outer Banks of NC. In

1967 he joined Kings Mountain National Military Park (KMNMP) in South Carolina. In 1970 he returned to teaching at NCSD in Morganton for two and a half years before rejoining the National Park Service at KMNMP in 1973.

In addition to his training at the NPS Grand Canyon site, Jim participated in several training courses at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Atlanta.

Among his accomplishments at KMNMP was his participation in researching and determining the route now known as the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, which was traveled by eastern Tennessee patriots who marched to fight in the Battle of Kings Mountain, the latter of which is acknowledged as the turning point of the Revolution in the South.

Jim participated in Revolutionary War Round Tables in Washington, DC, and at the invitation of noted historian and author Thomas Fleming, he spoke at Fraunces Tavern in New York City, where George Washington bade farewell to his troops.

While with the NPS he also honed his skills as the World’s Greatest Teller of the World’s Worst Jokes and made more lifelong friends along the way. He retired from the National Park Service in 1994, having served as historian and chief of interpretation and resource management at KMNMP. Before retiring from KMNMP, he also began part time evening security work at Cleveland Community College in Shelby, NC. He then worked in the College’s bookstore before retiring completely.

Jim and Pat have 4 children, Susan (Kelly) of Charleston SC; Bill of Shelby, NC; J. Joseph of Cherryville, NC; and Laura (Jeff) of Grover, NC. They also have one granddaughter, Amélie, a veterinarian in Portland, Oregon.

Survivors include sisters-inlaw Lucille Carpenter Anderson and Mary Hurt Anderson, who live in Sebring, FL, and Morganton, NC, respectively, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Jim’s hobbies included playing cribbage, working crossword and Jumble puzzles, and watching Duke basketball and Alabama football.

He enjoyed reading fiction and nonfiction books. He loved his dogs (and the family’s cats) and walked the neighborhood with the dogs twice a day.

Jim Anderson lived a life of service. Whether in the military, as an educator, an employee in an educational institution, the interpreter at national historic sites, or as a caring family member and neighbor, he touched the lives of many. He provided a model of integrity, loyalty, and humor.

A memorial service will be held at the Chapel of Cecil M. Burton Funeral Home & Crematory, 106 Cherryville Rd., Shelby, NC on Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at 2:00 pm.

Contributions in Jim’s memory to Cleveland Community College Foundation (http://clevelandccfoundation.org/give-now/ ), the Cleveland County Humane Society Shelter (1609 E Marion St, Shelby, NC 28150), Hospice Cleveland County (https://www.hospicecares. cc/ ), or the National Park Service Foundation (https:// www.nationalparks.org/support ) are welcomed.

Cemetery cleanup an issue

KM ranked 20 in safety and security

By Loretta Cozart

By Loretta Cozart

Last week, WBTV featured the story of Brandon and Tara Waters, parents of Kyndal Waters who is buried at the Mountain Rest Cemetery. Their complaint centers around the condition of their baby’s gravesite and marker, which they said was constantly covered in grass and debris.

According to the news story, the family has reached out to the cemetery for years but have had no luck in correcting the situation.

Bria Bell, reporter for WBTV, reached out to the head groundskeeper who, she said, offered to ask his crew to wipe off the debris from the baby’s grave in the future.

Bell also reported that she was unable to get a statement

CASINO From Pgae 1A Carolina Senate.

Burr’s concern regarding political donations for political support is also shared by campaign finance watchdog, Bill Hall, who had released a statement in March calling on the State Board of Elections to investigate. “With the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) pushing legislation (SB-154/ HB-302) to add sports wagering to a sprawling gambling operation, it’s a good time to look at the tribe’s clout in the NC General Assembly.

“Turns out EBCI donated $570,400 to state legislators, other candidates and political committees in the 2018 election – and a total of $1,300,000 in the past three elections, which ranks it among the three biggest PACs in the state, along with the Duke Energy PAC and NC Realtors PAC,” Hall wrote.

There are two Casinos in North Carolina, both owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

Last year, the EBCI broke ground on a $250-million-dollar expansion to Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and will add a convention center and hotel. Revenue was so good, each adult Cherokee received $14,000 from Casino revenues in 2018.

The proposed Kings Mountain casino is roughly 130 miles from Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee, NC. According to Smoky Mountain News’ April 24 article on Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, it had an estimated $750-million-dollar regional economic impact in 2018. They also noted that roughly 30 percent of the casino’s customers lived closer to the Kings Mountain site than to the EBCI reservation.

Senator Burr explained in his letter, “The Catawba’s case is simple.

Congress intended for the Catawba to be able to acquire land within their North Carolina service areas as part of their 1993 land settlement, but unclear language in the law itself left the question in limbo.

The bill I’ve introduced with other Carolina Senators would clarify the language. The Cherokee have implied our bill would cut the state out of the process, but that is patently untrue.

The law would still require the Catawba to negotiate a tribal state compact before building any casino, giv-

from the director of public works because he was out of town on vacation.

The Herald reached out to Mayor Scott Neisler, who had already reached out to the family via Facebook. The Mayor offered to meet with them and had already visited the baby’s grave. Later, Tara Waters called Mayor Neisler and they had a long conversation regarding her concerns.

The Mayor said, “There is nothing I can do to comfort the Waters in their loss, and we will do what we can to rectify the situation,” he promised. “My heart goes out to them and their family.

“The staff and crew at Mountain Rest Cemetery are very caring people that honor everyone’s last resting place.

They have a hard job,” he said.

ing the governor and legislature the final say. The Cherokee know this well because they hold a tribal-state compact that could serve as a model.”

In 1993, Act H.R.2399 of the United States Congress, "Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993," was approved by the U.S. House and U.S. Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on Oct. 27.

Under Section 3, Definitions, subsection 9, the ``service area'' for the Catawba Indian Nation included the area composed of the State of South Carolina and Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Mecklenburg, Rutherford, and Union counties in the State of North Carolina. (“H.R. 2399 — 103rd Congress: Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina land Claims Settlement Act of 1993.” www.GovTrack.us. 1993.

May 27, 2019 https://www. govtrack.us/congress/ bills/103/hr2399) Senator Burr opened his letter with a story about a “Native American tribe with deep historic ties to North Carolina announced its intent to purchase land across state lines for an ‘economic development’ that could include a new casino. In order to put up a casino, the legislature would have to pass a measure allowing gambling on the site, but the legislation has already been introduced by the tribe’s political allies,” he said. “The tribe is the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and the land in question is in Se-

The National Council for Home Safety and Security ranked King Mountain 20th out of all the cities in North Carolina. The organization reviews the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics in their analysis.

Kings Mountain was compared to 7,637 cities across the state, but cities who failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI were exempted from the list.

Police Chief Lisa Proctor said, “I am so proud of the job my officers and staff have done working together with our citizens to make this rating possible. The work that they do, and the support of the community continues to be seen and has made an amazing impact on our City.

“This is the best ranking we have ever had for Kings Mountain and I am one proud Chief. This is something worth celebrating as a community together.

“This special achievement would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of my staff and the amazing partnership we have with our citizens working hand and hand with them to combat crime,” said Chief Proctor.

According to the FBI, there are two broad classifications of crimes: violent and non-violent crimes. According to the FBI, “Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes are defined in the UCR Program as those offenses that involve force

LISA PROCTOR POLICE CHIEF or threat of force. Property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims.”

According to the National Council for Home Safety and Security, “We computed the total number of crimes reported by each city by adding violent crimes and property crimes. We then rated them using the population of the city and created a crime rate as the number of crimes per 1,000 population.”

This year, a new variable was added to the calculation, Police adequacy (TotalCrimes / Number of police employees). “We consider that the smaller the police adequacy statistic is, the safer the city is. Finally, we combined the two scores to create a safety score for each city,” they explain at their website.

vierville, Tennessee.”

According to Native Business Magazine, the EBCI purchased 122 acres of land in Sevierville, TN for $7.656 million next to Smokies Stadium. Tennessee does not allow casino gambling, but there is discussion that Tennessee legislators may consider sports betting there.

Sevierville is roughly 50 miles from Cherokee, across the state line in Ten-

nessee.

With control of North Carolina’s casinos at stake, thousands of jobs in the balance, and the revenue from surrounding businesses in play, it is no wonder the proposed casino has drawn such political attention to Kings Mountain. Until the U.S. Senate decides the fate of Senate Bill S. 790, the posturing will continue as each side strives to make its voices heard.

Downtown renovation projects near completion

By Loretta Cozart Renovations in the Gregg Johnson and McGill / Ruppe buildings continue downtown.

While the facades of both buildings have not changed much in the last week, the interior work continues as both projects approach their scheduled completion deadlines.

The Johnson Building has new drywall and the bathrooms and stairway at the back of the store are now enclosed.

This 10,000 sq. ft. building has a new roof, windows, HVAC system, bathrooms, and stairways. Only the

building’s 1914 tin ceiling remains unchanged, tying new history to the old. After a fire in 1914, one of W. A. Mauney’s last renovations added a trendy tin ceiling to both the Mauney Bros. Store and Mauney Drug Store.

The McGill / Ruppe building’s new glass front gives it great curb appeal. But the interior’s open-beam ceiling is where its unique character shines. Framing continues throughout and it appears the building isn’t too far from the drywall stage. Along the west side, new windows and doors have been cut through to the new patio.

Next door, in Jim Thompson’s renovation of Griffin Drug Center, drywall has gone up and the tile floor has been removed and wood floor sanded. Additional framing continues at the rear of the store. While it isn’t under the tight construction deadlines as the first two buildings, progress steadily continues there.

With the sale of the Sagesport building to Michael Parker this week, four downtown buildings will be in various stages of renovation within the next month. These projects are just the precursor to big changes coming to downtown Kings Mountain.

The interior has been transformed and is almost ready for prospective tenants to complete for their particular use.

Framing continues in the McGill/Ruppe building as additional detail is being given to the open beams.

Museum annual fundraiser September 7

Nick Howell visits the Ferguson monument at Kings Mountain National Military Park. Ferguson was promoted to Colonel shortly before the battle but did not live to receive the commission. Most historical accounts of the battle refer to him as "Major."

Local actor stars in Liberty Mountain

By Robert Inman It’s 2012 and Kings Mountain’s Nick Howell, at age 13, is making his first appearance on stage in the play “Cinderella Kids” at Cherryville Little Theatre.

Nick isn’t much interested in the idea of theatre, but his parents, Mark and Lisa Howell, have urged him to give it a try. And much to young Nick’s surprise and joy, he loves it.

Fast forward to 2019 and Nick is playing one of the key roles in “Liberty Mountain” at the Joy Performance Center in downtown Kings Mountain.

He portrays the leader of the Loyalist forces at the Battle of Kings Mountain, British major Patrick Ferguson. For the run of the play, starting Friday night June 28, he’s no longer Nick Howell. He has taken complete possession of Ferguson’s character, and audiences will see his honest, vivid portrait of the man who, some would say, lost the American Revolution for the British.

Nick has done extensive research on Ferguson, who was considered one of the finest officers in the British army – brave and resourceful, a leader whose men called him “the bulldog.”

Nick describes himself as Ferguson: “I come from a refined way of life in a wealthy Scottish family. I’m well educated as a military man, and in the course of my career I’ve proved that I’m a fine officer. With my men, I’m firm but fair. On the battlefield, I can be vicious. My success gives me supreme confidence in my ability, but at the Battle of Kings Mountain, over-confidence

contributes to my downfall.” Nick’s preparation even includes mastering the particular dialect of the area of Scotland Ferguson was from.

Nick was one of the original cast members of “Liberty Mountain” in its 2014 premier, and during the six years of its life has played a wide variety of roles, including two of the key leaders in the battle, Col. John Sevier and Col. James Williams. An added dimension of his involvement in “Liberty Mountain” is that he is descended from one of the Patriot soldiers, Preston Goforth, who fought and died at Kings Mountain.

Nick is multi-talented.

He acts, sings and dances superbly. He does no singing in “Liberty Mountain,” but his extensive work in dance studios gives him a unique ability to move through the battle sequences of the show.

Nick recently graduated from Cleveland Community College with an Associate Arts degree, and in August, he begins classes in the theatre program at Gardner-Webb University.

In “Liberty Mountain,” Nick will take you skillfully into the heart of the drama and leave you entertained, inspired and enriched from the telling of this compelling story about how America became free and independent.

“Liberty Mountain” will have 17 performances over a four-week span.

For information on the play and online ticket ordering, visit www.libertymountaindrama.com. or call the Kings Mountain Little Theatre at 704-7309408.

KM Historical Museum gets new monument Submitted by Anna Lineberger On Friday, June 14th, 2019 the Kings Mountain Historical Museum hosted a monument reveal in the commons area between the two historical houses on the property. As the plaque at the site says, “this monument stands as a grateful tribute to the miners and rich mineral heritage of this region. The first national gold rush occurred in North Carolina, and mining has played an integral role in the development of the Kings Mountain area.”

The monument stone was donated by John Connor, President of Southeastern Geoscience, Inc. and the delivery of the stone was

donated by Clyde Kerns of Kerns Trucking. According to Mr. Connor, the stone is called pegmatite and is composed of the minerals feldspar, quartz, spodumene and other micas. Spodumene is the principal ore mineral of lithium. The stone is about 360 million years old and was mined at the site of the former Lithium Corporation of America near Bessemer City.

Following the monument reveal, the Museum’s Board of Directors hosted an appreciation BBQ dinner for Mr. Connor, Mr. Kerns and the Museum staff and volunteers. The Board also introduced Ms. January Costa, the new director and curator, to the staff and volunteers.

KMHS Class of 1974 plans reunion

■ MEDITATION

Who Do You Entertain? really enhance our lives. I recall one episode were the worker was kind and patient with the owner of the company who had disguised himself as a trainee; she showed him compassion and understanding. When the owner revealed himself to the employee, he sent her back to school and promoted her up to an upper management position.

One of my neighbors has a beautiful pit-bull and was telling me how ferocious she is. Sometimes, when I walked outside, I would talk to her and give her treats. In less than two weeks of doing this, she started coming to the fence for me to pet her. One morning we came out and she was sitting on our porch making sure

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.

(Hebrews 13:2) Is it pos- Rev. John Houze sible that we People’s Baptist have missed Church many blessings by not taking time to interact with someone because we didn’t think they had anything to offer, or we said to ourselves, we are too busy?

The tv show Undercover Boss is a great example of how we can view people who may be in position to

no one came in our driveway. Now we have a guard dog and even though she’s inside my neighbor’s fence, she warns us if anything is around or on our property. She also recognizes my children and granddaughter’s vehicles, but barks at everyone else. Kindness worked on a dog I was told was ferocious.

I treated her with kindness and it became a blessing not only for me but also for my family.

If this works for an animal, imagine if we were to take time to acknowledge people with kindness, even a simple smile and hello.

I realize we live in perilous times but what are we doing to make it better? I remember a shooting in California a few years ago when a disgruntled employee shot every-

one in his office except one lady and he told her, you were always nice but the others made fun of me.

Contrary to the glamour portraits we have hanging in churches of our Lord, Jesus; the Bible says he was not one to be desired, an ordinary looking fellow with nothing special about his physical appearance.

If Jesus walked up to you or you saw Him in your daily routine, would you know if it were Him? What if He was the pan-handler on a street corner, or a person sitting alone on a park bench with their head down, how about the unfamiliar face that came to your church? Would you honestly know if it were Him? Be Blessed!

Kings Mountain High School Class of 1974 will hold their 45th class reunion on Saturday, October 19, 2019. More detailed information will be sent out in early July via email.

Any classmate that has not received information in July, please email kmclassof1974@gmail.com to be sure the committee has your contact information.

Both of the suspects were on probation and convicted felons at the time of the Breaking & Enterings. Both were taken to the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center and are being held on No Bond.

Due to the high number of the breaking & enterings in this investigation detectives are continuing to follow up on leads and more charges are likely against these suspects.

Cleveland County Potato Project celebrating 10 years Submitted by Cassie E. Herndon It’s Wednesday morning and a crew of volunteers, eyes to the ground, follows a creeping tractor.

Other eyes scan the skies, hoping not to see the start of extensive rain forecast for the next several days.

This is the first day of sweet potato planting season for the Cleveland County Potato Project.

What do 24,000 sweet potato slips look like?

Twenty cardboard cartons, each smaller than a laundry basket, bursting with a green carpet of spinach-like leaves.

Each slip must be individually handled, placed in a clamp, doused with water and mechanically inserted into row after row in a 3-acre field off Botts Road north of Shelby.

The heads-down group watches, steps, then slides a shoe through the soil to shore up the new plants.

The rains hold off and by the end of the workday, 10,500 leafy green slips are ready to take root, possibly a project record for one day’s planting, according to CCPP co-founder Doug Sharp.

One more day and all 24,000 are in the ground, with room for 3,000 more coming next week.

Sharp and fellow founder Bill Horn, marking the tenth year for this almost-all-volunteer project, are ecstatic about a new $2,000 grant recently announced by Dick Baker, executive director of the HealthCare Foundation of Cleveland County.

HFCC’s mission: “To be a catalyst for promoting wellness and improving health in Cleveland County.”

“We seek to make transformative grants that

Slow and steady gets the job done, in this case planting more than 10,000 little green leaflets called sweet potato slips. Volunteer members of Junior Civitans helped a couple of adult workers in the painstaking process Wednesday as the Cleveland County Potato Project continued its tenth anniversary year.

address the social determinants of health and well-being that affect the citizens of Cleveland County,” Baker said.

“In particular, we like to support innovative programs and initiatives from smaller non-profit organizations that directly impact specific needs, such as hunger and access to healthy foods, among others.

“The Cleveland County Potato Project has a long history of success, solely through the efforts of volunteers. We are hopeful

this community health grant will enable them to serve more people in need in the coming year.”

CCPP’s first money came from the N.C. State Baptist Convention, a gift prompted by the work of the Rev. Charles Reed, retired missions director of the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association.

“And we get individual donations too,” Sharp said, “and appreciate every one of them. We always need money.”

As you know, the Sheriff’s Office has continued an aggressive campaign to rid Cleveland County of as much narcotics as possible. As we continue to make our community as safe as possible please note our slogan listed below.

PARKER From Page 1A one of the few freestanding buildings downtown.

It is located on a corner lot and has plenty of parking nearby,“ he said. “I hope that our actions to save this building and revitalize it will spark even more momentum in the area and inspire others to take the same initiative and invest in making Kings Mountain a better place to raise a family, live, work and play. This is a beautiful town and with the unity and support of local government, businesses and the community, we can make it great again.”

The building is in rough shape. The roof failed and has collapsed into the build-

ing. But Parker’s structural engineer assures him the building’s exterior is sound. The walls are 16 to 18-inches thick and are completely square, he says.

“Once the interior bracing is in place, we can go inside safely and clean out the debris.”

Renovation of an old building is an expensive endeavor. Compared to constructing a new building, restoration can cost twice the building’s value when completed. “I hope that we will be awarded grant money to offset the renovation costs of our project and that others who want to renovate downtown buildings will be able to do the same.

These grants, along with the fact that these properties are in the opportunity zone,

are huge incentives to draw in other investors,” Parker said.

“Through the revitalization of these buildings in downtown and providing usable, leasable space, we can attract new and exciting businesses and jobs back to the area. We can provide our local citizens places of dining and entertainment to visit and enjoy and, hopefully, keep more of their disposable income in our community instead having that money go to Charlotte or Belmont,” he said.

“This is our home and I want more than anything to make a positive impact in our local community. I hope this becomes something I can be proud of and pass on to my children someday,” he said.

CCC hire Bowles as Head Baseball Coach Cleveland Community College has chosen Gene Bowles as Head Baseball Coach. Bowles comes to CCC from Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland. Bowles will head up the new program which will begin play in the Spring of 2021.

“I’m extremely happy to welcome Gene to the CCC family,” said Dr. Jason Hurst, President.

“His coaching career speaks for itself, and I am excited to see what he brings to the college’s first baseball team.”

Cleveland Community College added National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) sports on March 12 by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees. The Yetis will begin competition in the 2019-2020 season as Cross Country will start this fall followed

by Fastpitch Softball in the Spring of 2020. Both Cross Country and Fastpitch will begin practice in August.

With Baseball beginning in 2020-21 year, Bowles will have a full year to recruit players to the team. Currently, Bowles is serving as Bullpen Coach for the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod Summer League. The Cape Cod League is one of the best known and most prestigious summer leagues for the top collegiate players in the nation.

Bowles will be on campus in August once the Cape Cod playoffs are finished.

“I’m very excited to be the first ever head baseball coach in Cleveland Community College history,” said Bowles. “I’m really looking forward to all aspects of starting a new program. I can’t wait to get on the recruiting trail and help potential student athletes find a home to develop their skills, not just on the diamond, but also in the classroom.”

Bowles’ coaching career is extensive including two stops at Prince George’s. In between, he served as pitching coach

• The message says you owe back taxes or unpaid bills and face legal or financial consequences if you don’t pay immediately.

• The message says you've won a big lottery or sweepstakes prize and tells you to press a key or call a number to claim it.

Things to do if you get a robocall: • Do hang up on illegal robocalls.

• Do add all your numbers to the Federal Trade Commission’s National Do Not Call Registry. It won’t stop fraudulent calls, but it will make them easier to spot because most legitimate telemarketers won’t call numbers on the registry.

• Do explore free and lowcost call-blocking options, such as apps and services that screen calls and weed out spam and scams. Ask your phone service provider if it offers any such tools.

• Do verify the caller.

If the robocall claims to be from, say, Social Security or your bank, hang up and look up the real number for that entity. Call and ask if they contacted you.

• Do report scam calls to the proper authorities (see More Resources below).

Every report helps authorities piece together a fuller picture of what scammers are doing.

• Do review a company’s privacy policies before you give it permission to call you.

You might be authorizing them to share your contact information with others.

Things not to do if you get a robocall: • Don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. The FCC recommends letting them go to voicemail.

• Don’t press any keys or say anything in response to a prerecorded message. This lets scammers know yours is a working number and will lead to more spam calls.

• Don’t follow instructions to “speak to a live operator.”

This will likely transfer you to a call center for an aggressive sales pitch or a phishing expedition.

• Don’t judge a call by caller ID alone. Scammers mask their location by tricking your phone into displaying a legitimate government or corporate number, or one like your own (a practice called “neighbor spoofing”).

Don’t wait 1-2 hours in long lines...

According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), Robocalls calls have become epidemic.

They report that nearly 48 billion of them, or 146 for every person in America, were placed nationwide in 2018.

Illegal robocalls include everything from unsolicited telemarketing calls to blatant attempts to steal from you.

To make matters worse, caller ID spoofing makes it difficult to determine if the person who calls you is really who they say they are.

Robocalls may claim you have won the lottery, need to pay your utility bill or have services cut-off, or that a grandchild is in jail and needs you to provide money to make their bail. Sometimes, they will ask you to buy gift cards to use to pay them.

This is a red flag that you are dealing with an unscrupulous person.

Not responding to the system is the key to reducing robocalls, according to the AARP. “Whatever the message, don’t engage. Doing so can lead you to a real live scammer, who’ll pressure you to make a purchase or pump you for personal information, like a credit card or Social Security number.

Even just pressing a key or answering a question, alerts scammers that they’ve hit on a “live” number, and they’ll call it again and again.

Not all robocalls are illegal, however. “The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allows them for some informational or noncommercial purposes, such as polling, political campaigning and outreach by nonprofit groups (including AARP). Your dentist’s office can robocall you with an appointment reminder, or an airline with news about a flight change,” they say.

The AARP offers the following advice when dealing with robocalls: Warning Signs • You receive an automated sales call from a company you have not given consent to contact you.

• A prerecorded message tells you to press “1” or some other key to be taken off a call list.

• The message offers you goods or services for free or at a suspiciously deep discount.

OUTDOOR TRUTHS By

Gary Miller ller

Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ In my area, June has been a very pleasant month for outdoor activities. There have been many days where the mornGARY MILLER ings have had a nip to them and where the midday seemed almost deplete of any humidity. These will soon be overcome by the sweltering days of August. But until then I will savor each moment.

Fishing has become the pastime of most outdoorsmen. Many of these trips have a camping aspect attached which makes them even more memorable.

I’ve already enjoyed a night on the riverbank, sitting beside a campfire. I enjoyed a baked potato cooked by the embers from the fire, along with fried redeye that was caught that evening. I often challenge myself by not taking anything of substance to eat on these trips. If I catch something, I eat. If I don’t, I don’t.

This makes me fish for quantity and not quality. I use the bait I think is most likely to catch a fish – any fish. And what otherwise would be catch and release, is now catch and cook, even the ones that are usually considered too small. It’s a fun way of really seeing if I could live off my little land. The key, however, is not having a backup plan. And to be honest, even something as little as one night without a good meal doesn’t sit well with me.

That’s really a shame. I have never known of anyone who died from missing one meal. We Americans could stand to miss a few more. But I digress.

Do you have backup plans? Most of us do. Sometimes we never know what they are until we are put in a predicament whereby plan A fails. It’s at that time our mind begins to work frantically to find another way; to make it work; to adapt, overcome, improvise. And all of this sounds honorable, but did you know that real faith- the greatest faith – has no backup plans.

There are no contingent strategies if plan A fails. Did you know that God calls us to trust Him in this way at times? It’s true. Even in the first and most basic aspect of our hope, God asks us to trust Him to get us to Heaven. We do, and then leave it there, without any thought of what we might do if we are wrong. If God would ask us to trust Him in this, without any backup plans, why would He not ask us to trust Him this way in other matters as well? He would and He does. My friend, don’t think it strange if God asks you to do something and leaves no room for contingencies. He is simply testing the depth of your faith. Real faith jumps far enough out, leaving no possibility of reaching back to anything that might be attached to the security that we just left.

Sometimes it’s God or nothing. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

Bessemer City City with a Heart

Bessemer City y celebrates its first Juneteenth!

Pictured: Families from all around Gaston County were able to come together and celebrate African American culture. African drummers were one of the performances at the event.

The City of Bessemer City celebrated its first Juneteenth on June 14th. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, specifically the June 19, 1865 announcement in Galveston, Texas. Juneteenth is a day to remember and celebrate African-American culture and history. Bessemer City held the celebration in

Centennial Park. Elements of Empowerment, a nonprofit who hosted the Belmont celebration partnered with Bessemer City to help organize the event. The event was filled with African American music, arts and culture with live music performances, vendors, and great food. Bessemer City also partnered with St. James, Mount Pleasant, and Gastonia Tabernacle,

historically black Baptist churches for entertainment.

Other performances included the reciting of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, signing of the Black National Anthem, the review of the Emancipation proclamation and choir. Bessemer City would like to extend a large thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success.

BC Welcome to Purple HeartHeart Veteran!!!

BC Gives givesa aWarm warm welcome to Purple Veteran On Tuesday, June 11th Mayor Becky S. Smith, Mayor Pro Tem Joe Will, and City Councilman Alfred Carpenter attended the Purple Heart Homes’ Key Ceremony to welcome Army Veteran Michael & Marie Stackpole to the City with a Heart! The Stackpoles recently relocated to Bessemer City from New Hampshire. “We were very speechless when we received word that we would receive a home from Purple Heart Homes. Nothing has come easy for Michael and I,”Marie Stackpole said. Purple Heart Homes is a non-profit out of Statesville. The

organization is run by veterans, for veterans. The family was chosen for Purple Heart Homes “Home Ownership Program.” The organization gets homes donated by banks, then contractors donate their time for renovations to accommodate the needs of wounded veterans. After five years in the home, Purple Heart Homes then gives the money the family has invested back to them.

This way they have achieved home ownershipnd in five years have a substantial amount of money to choose to invest in their kids’ education, or savings for retirement.
