Bipartisan Voter ID accommodations approved by NC General Assembly Bipartisan legislation amending the deadline and criteria for the State Board of Elections to approve voter identification cards received final approval by a 109-6 vote of the North Carolina House of Representatives on Tuesday. The legislation is anticipated to facilitate increased voting access for students using college-issued identifications across the state. In 2018 North Carolinians approved a constitutional amendment establishing voter ID in the state’s elections. Enabling legislation subsequently passed by the state General Assembly allowed a range of qualifying cards, as well as signed affidavits asserting a reasonable impediment to obtaining an identification, for voters to cast their ballots. North Carolina’s voter ID law accommodates religious objectors, provides for free government-issued IDs and accepts drivers’ licenses, passports, military and veteran IDs, student IDs, voter ID cards, as well as state and local government IDs. Drivers’ licenses from other states would even qualify in some circumstances.
House Bill 646 ID Approval/Flex Municipal One-Stop extends the date for universities, private and community colleges, charter schools, and state and local government entities to have their identification cards approved for voting from March 15 to November 15, 2019. The bill also clarifies that for the 2020 elections, identification cards for those entities may not be denied approval by the State Board See VOTER ID, Page 11A

Budget, board appointments, and tattoo parlors on agenda By Loretta Cozart At the May 28 Kings Mountain City Council meeting a variety of issues related to Budget, board appointments and zoning, were addressed. During Citizen Recognition, Alton Beal, Mayor of Lattimore, evangelist and the president of Ambassador Baptist College spoke against the casino asking city council members to reconsider supporting the project saying, "The love of money is the root of all evil." The Consent Agenda introduced several topics. Council approved Andrew Atchley with a term expiring June 30, 2020; Lindsey Bridges, with a term expiring June 30, 2021 and Debbie Mauney with a term expiring June 30, 2022 to the Mauney Memorial Library Board of Trustees. Council approved Lee Ann Long, Al Tate, Evelyn Pressley, Pat Blanton, Sharon Proctor and Charles Stephens with terms expiring June 30, 2022 to the Patrick Senior Center Advisory Board. A Public Hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at 6 p.m. to modify the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance “Section 6.16 – Overlay Districts” to combine the text for all thoroughfare overlay zoning districts into a common language creating a singular thoroughfare zoning district, identified only as a different
overlay district simply due to geography of location – Case No. Z-1-3-19. Councilmembers unanimously approved the amended consent agenda. A Public Hearing followed, allowing City Manager Marilyn Sellers to discuss the proposed Budget for FY 2019 – 2020. After returning to the Regular Meeting, a motion to approve the Budget was made by Jay Rhodes and unanimously approved by city council. A Special Events update was made by Christy Conner. The next major event is the Revolutionary 4th with live bands, food vendors, a scene from Liberty Mountain, and Fireworks. Planning and Economic Development Director Stuart Gilbert presented the Resolution to approve the Hall Crossing Subdivision, Phase V – Case No. MJS-1-3-19. The plan was received by the city on May 6 regarding the 12 acres. According to Gilbert, “The layer maps show a 1-acre lot that wasn’t owned by Mr. Hall, but he does own it. He could have built more lots, with R-10 zoning. He plans 7 total lots for a large lot and large house presumably.” Gilbert asked for input from city council regarding special regulations related to tattoo shops, body piercing, and vape shops. Councilman Council discussed allowing those businesses in General Business, but Keith Miller

reminded council that General Business Zoning exists throughout the city adjacent to residential districts and families may have issue with those types of business in their neighborhoods. Mayor Neisler stated that many young people do not consider these types of business a deterrent. Council member Tommy Hawkins disagreed saying he didn’t feel these types of business are good for the community. Councilman David Allen made the motion to approve scheduling a Public Hearing for Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at 6 p.m. to add tattoo parlors, body piercing and vape shops in the table of issues, as permitted uses only in the light manufacturing and heavy manufacturing zoning district, subject to new special regulations that will be included in the new text amendment – Case No. Z-1-5-19. Council unanimously approved. Following the Regular Meeting, a Closed Session was held, but no action was taken, and the meeting was adjourned.

On the other hand, if you take the left lane in the crossover, you must look right across another vehicle to see oncoming traffic. Depending upon the type of vehicle located there you may have no clear view, or no view at all, making the crossing deadly dangerous. Additionally, vehicles making left turns might not see you in their lane until it is too late to avoid a crash. When speaking to Police Chief Lisa Proctor regarding this maneuver, she said, “I have had several reports of people making left hand turns
at crossovers incorrectly with many near misses to an accident recently. If you enter the crossover incorrectly, you put you and your passengers in danger. If you are involved in an accident and are not in your proper lane, you could be charged with a traffic citation. “Take a moment and learn the proper way to navigate a divided highway crossover. Once you know the proper way, maneuvering these intersections will be less stressful and hopefully keep you and your passenger safe,” she said.

Making left-hand turns on divided highways is tricky business, so much so that 59.1% of crossing-path crashes involve left hand turns, according to Federal data. It is vitally important to be sure you handle this common traffic maneuver correctly to keep you and your passengers safe. When making a left turn at a divided highway crossover, treat the crossover itself as a lane and keep to the right. Doing so ensures that you have a clear line of sight of oncoming traffic.

After 42 years of having the opportunity to serve Kings Mountain and local area clients and treasured pets, the time has come for me to announce my retirement. I am looking forward to more time with my family and friends.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. John F. Kennedy
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Cozart As we prepare ourselves COZART for another graduation ceremony at Kings Mountain High School, my thoughts take me back to my own graduation. It was one of the first times I had experienced the flight of time;
everything happened so fast, and yet those memories remain locked in my mind forever. The last few months of school were a flurry of activity. During the last week, we practiced for Baccalaureate and graduation, and received our caps and gowns along with the other accoutrements required for graduation. The final week of
school, we had our awards day ceremony and celebrated the class’ accomplishments with a slideshow during a special program honoring our class in Barnes Auditorium. The Class of ’78. One of the last requirements was to return our books and any school property. Then we spent fleeting moments with fellow classmates

Also, seriously consider a trade school. Trade school studies can typically be completed in one to two years. The savings has been estimated to be as much as $75,000 compared to a four-year degree. You will also have a two-year early entry into the workforce. On average you’ll earn $10,000 to $15,000 less than average college graduates but you’ll have less debt and you might even have better job security. Your job as an electrician, plumber, machinist, pharmacy technician, dental hygienist and many others will keep you in the work
and teachers in the hallways before going home. It was surreal time. In some ways, it seemed as if we were divesting ourselves of our studenthood. Everything seemed so final; it was a time of great joy and overwhelming sadness as I realized my life was about to change forever. Yet, we were only doing what all classes do; graduate and venture into
adulthood. During the three years spent at Kings Mountain High School, we prepared ourselves for life. We learned to think, ponder, empathize, love, and consider those around us. We learned what is was to be part of a community. As we walked across the stage at John Gamble Stadium that evening, we also learned what it meant to be a gradu-
ate of Kings Mountain High School. Few have the honor to claim that distinction. Our friends and parents were proud of us. The entire community was proud of us not only for what we had accomplished, but also for what we could accomplish in life. They had prepared us well. We had only to take that next step into our future.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR May 20, 2019 It is important to periodically update people about transHASTINGS portation issues in the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (GCLMPO), Division 12, and all of North Carolina. A data-driven process, Strategic Transportation Investments (STI), is used to prioritize transportation projects. Though I was not a lead sponsor of the law, we study the law to help efficiently prioritize projects. Legislators don’t submit projects for prioritization; our official comments can influence the process, especially as they relate to types of safety and bridge replacement projects that can be primarily outside of STI.
See GRADUATION,Page 7A
Projects are submitted for prioritization by local elected officials who serve on planning organizations and by specified North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) personnel. The metropolitan (MPO) and rural (RPO) planning organizations are mandated by the federal government. Each planning organization and transportation division has a limited budget. A project can financially thwart other projects. As an example, a proposed toll road primarily in southern Gaston County earned a low score under STI and was entangled in a federal lawsuit. Though construction can’t begin under the current circumstances, it can financially constrain other projects if it remains on certain lists. Some projects are delayed due to federal permitting issues. The replacement of the Hoyles
Creek and Alexis High Shoals Road bridges and widening of the Dallas-Cherryville Highway are examples. The bridges are now complete and the Dallas-Cherryville Highway construction is underway. A statutory interpretation by NCDOT regarding pay raises led to tens of millions of dollars, and possibly over $100 million, that will not be available for construction. I am not against raises for great employees, but the interpretation could partially cause construction delays. I supported an amendment to help with clarification, but we were outvoted on the House floor. To help avoid construction delays, I voted to help NCDOT recover from the expenditures that were necessary to recover from natural disasters. See LETTER, Page 7A
Lookin’ out my backdoor—early June 2019 By Greta Reo-Cooper On days when our almost three-year old daughter takes a late afternoon nap, a late night is guaranteed. Instead of going to bed while the sun is still up, the sky peachy-colored, we’ll sit on the front porch, the growing darkness hiding us little by little, until our eyes have become accustomed to the dark and we feel as though we blend right into the shadows. The first bat appears about the same time as the first star in the violet sky, soon joined by its partner, darting every which way above our front yard, in a sort of dance where they never meet. We appreciate the show as well as the mosquito-control. Soon lightning bugs appear at the edges of the yard, the dark areas near the woods. They float about like little fairy lanterns, and our daughter exclaims “get my critter
cage!” Then the three of us head out onto the lawn, gently catching lightning bugs and letting them crawl into the little mesh contraption our daughter carries by a handle, letting them go quickly so they can “go see their friends.” Last week, on one such lightning bug-capturing evening, the quiet was disturbed by the unmistakable call of an Eastern Whippoor-will. A sound of summer nights that I have never heard and always wanted to hear, it came suddenly from the quiet woods. I couldn’t believe it! My husband recognized it immediately, remembering it from summer nights spent at his grandparents’ house in New Hampshire, a sound that is a very part of American lore, and could be a folk song in itself. It only called for a few seconds, a loud rhythm of “whip-poor-will, whippoor-will! “Oh, I wish he would keep going!” I lamented. “No you don’t,”
my husband told me. Apparently the whip-poor-will of his childhood carried on for hours. “Darn thing keeps me awake all night!” His grandfather would complain in the morning. This secretive, nocturnal bird with whiskers is more often heard than seen, its camouflage hiding it away and lending it the look of a toad rather than a creature that flies. The next morning as I walked down the driveway for a walk with my daughter, on the ground at my feet was a pair of Luna Moth wings, powdery and green, the color of limeade. I picked them up and showed my daughter. “Put them in your pocket, mom,” she told me. We’d add them to her box of dead bugs later. The Luna Moth is another nighttime creature I have never seen, the sort of creature that you cannot help but marvel at. They are big moths, with a wingspan of 4 ½ inches (though they can

grow up to 7 inches!). Their back, or hindwings, have a long elegant tail that curves out, their antennae are yellow and look like little furry leaves. Luna Moth caterpillars feed on trees such as white birch and sweet gum, but, amazingly, the adults do not feed, and only live for one week. The very idea of this beautiful, ornate moth flying about, pale green in the darkness and lasting only seven days is miraculous. Several days later, in the same spot in the driveway, I found a single Polyphemus Moth forewing, brown with a beautiful coral-pink stripe curving along it. Also a silk moth, like the Luna Moth, this huge moth gets its name from the cyclops Polyphemus of Greek mythology, and looks like it came out of a myth itself! When you look at a Polyphemus Moth, you see what looks like a pair of eyes that have heavy blue eyeshadow on them— only they’re on the moth’s

wings. These are used to distract and confuse predators. And talk about miraculous: the pattern of a Polyphemus Moth’s outspread wings closely resembles the face and head of a Great Horned Owl—one of the fiercest predators of the night. I don’t know why I have found two different giant moth wings in the very same spot in the driveway—maybe they are the remains of the whip-poor-
will’s midnight snack. Who knows what goes on late at night in the darkness? What myth-like creatures dance in the black air from dusk until dawn? Perhaps I will never see a Luna Moth, perhaps there will only be these fading, powdery wings in my daughter’s little bug box. But I can get up every morning, walk outside, and see what treasures the night has left for me. Fifty years ago, on
Looking back Fifty years ago, on June 12, 1969, the Kings Mountain Herald announced that three financial firms would no longer be open for business on Saturdays. As a result of this decision, the bank had to remain open all-day on Wednes-
day. Prior to this, downtown businesses also closed in the afternoons on Wednesday. Downtown businesses thus began a full Wednesday schedule for their staff, just in time for Father’s Day holiday.

First Baptist VBS coming June 24-28
Rose Colored Glasses By Dr. John L. Houze “…. for wherein thou judgest another thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things”.(Rom.2:1 kjv.) As I was reading this particular verse, it was re- Rev. John Houze vealed that we are all guilty People’s Baptist Church of this and often do not realize we’re doing it. As the heat of summer intensifies, we become more irritable and less tolerant. We easily find fault in others not realizing we all do basically the same things. Many of us are familiar with the Twix commercial where the ghost and the spirit laugh at the idea they are both the same. How about a Custodian and Janitor, or Mortician and Undertaker? In those scenarios, each
does the same tasks or job, but doesn’t want to be associated with the other. Have you ever been in a situation where two parties refuse to change their point of view? Some may say one is just plain stubborn and the other is firm in their convictions. Maybe we can identify with this; you don’t want your child to attend a particular school and people call you prejudice, but if I don’t want my child to go, I’m just looking out for the best interest and welfare of the child. The world has endorsed this behavior by using a play on words to justify things that are wrong. In politics or on the news it’s called an “alternate reality”. But the bible says, “Woe unto him that calls evil, good and good, evil (Isa.5:20). We use terms to describe others based on our bias of the people involved. For example, saying Bob is a drunk as compared to Bob has
an alcohol addiction, or calling Suzy a dope fiend verses Suzy has a substance addiction or disease. Even in mental illness, calling a person crazy instead of mentally ill. We often criticize others because of our perceptions and judge ourselves based on our intent. Remember the Twix bar has only one manufacturer, one set of ingredients, and the same look and taste, whether on the right side of the wrapper or the left. Those commercials are just a sales gimmick to get people to buy their product. How long have we bought into gimmicks or looked at life through rose colored glasses instead of reality? May we remember, we all come from the same Manufacturer were created using the same formula. In the end, we are all flawed and imperfect beings, who do the same things. -Be Blessed!

Community Southern Garden Party to be held this Saturday
■ LIFESTYLES
Carolina’s Flute Circle and “Natural Beauties” at Southern Arts Society By Jewel Reavis The Carolina’s Flute Circle returned to Southern Arts Society (SASi) in Kings Mountain, Saturday, June 1st for their regional meeting and concert. Members gathered to share new music they have learned playing on Native American style flutes. The public was invited to listen to an impromptu concert throughout the afternoon and meet the members. Several members brought hand-made flutes to sell along with leather goods and music CD’s. Currently on exhibit at SASi is “Natural Beauties”, an exhibit and sale of objects made primarily from natural materials. Artists working in clay, gourds, wood, and glass have created both functional and decorative items that are for sale. While some art forms remain traditional, many artists have given these natural materials a decidedly different twist. Some potters make whimsical vases using non-traditional forms and others use ancient glazing techniques that look like they were found in an archaeological dig. Gourds are intricately carved and decorated with colorful paint. A mirror is framed with wood, twigs, pinecones, moss, and a variety of nuts to make a one of a kind statement-piece for the home. Artists use stained glass and mosaic tiles to paint a picture. There is something special and unique about every object as it relates to something made from the earth. Southern Arts Society (SASi) Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Ave. at the intersection of Piedmont and Battleground Avenues in the historic South-

Mauney Memorial Library hosts a “Community Southern Garden Party” on the front lawn this Saturday, June 8, from 10:00 a.m. until Noon. Drop in to visit with Cleveland County Extension Master Gardeners Susan Arrowood, Judy Ford, and Phyllis Phillips. Learn about different types of seeds, how to plant and save seeds, and why it is important to grow heirloom varieties.

Carolina in 1979 and has grown to 88 programs in counties across our state. Extension Master Gardener volunteers are trained to help connect North Carolinians with the vast reservoir of horticultural expertise and research developed at North Carolina A&T University and North Carolina State University. They help residents of their counties learn about a myriad of gardening topics, answer questions, conduct demonstrations and workshops, maintain community gardens, distribute gardening information at community events, and participate in gardening initiatives in their communities.

LETTER
and the South Fork are alternatives to the proposed “new-location” toll road and Catawba Crossing. The bridges are about 90 years old; replacement and widening plans are not currently threatened with lawsuits. Starting these projects does not prevent other projects from being submitted for analysis. If some in Gaston County had not fought it, I-85 could have been widened years ago. It recently earned a high score and should be widened in Gaston and Cleveland counties. Though generally positive, the STI law can lead to problems; the final phases of the U.S. 74 Bypass and other projects did not score as well as expected. However, we successfully supported the prioritization points for the phases of the U.S. 74
Bypass that were unfunded. Points can legally be assigned by Division 12 and the planning organizations to raise some projects’ scores; scarce points should not be wasted on projects that can’t be built. Based on the most recent score, the widening of I-85 currently does not need points. When the then-chairman of the MPO suggested tolling I-85 in Cleveland and Gaston counties, I attended the meeting and objected and, as of today, they have not submitted it as a toll project. There are many projects on the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that are being prioritized. Projects such as improving N.C. 150 in Cleveland, Lincoln and Gaston counties, improving I-85 at 321, widening the Lower Dallas Highway and upgrading other roads and bridges and modes of transportation in
all of North Carolina are needed. I recently chose to chair neither the Appropriations – Transportation nor the Transportation policy committees. Though I chose not to chair these committees, we successfully fought to have new transportation taxes removed from the transportation section of a proposed House budget. After helping to prioritize major transportation projects, it is time to accept other chairmanships. No matter which committees I chair, I am thankful to be able to continue to support capital and infrastructure projects that enhance economic freedom and safety for our area and all of North Carolina. Rep. Kelly Hastings Chairman: Appropriations – Capital Chairman: Education Universities
From Page 4A Virtually no transportation project starts without approval by the local planning organizations, the state transportation board, and the federal government. Some environmental groups apparently do not like some new-location projects and they file federal lawsuits. They generally don’t fight us on most projects that are not considered “new-location.” At the state level, we neither control federal laws nor the federal rules of procedure; they are controlled at the federal level.

From Page 4A force as long as you want to work. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to complete a college degree and beyond. I wanted to and it’s worked out great for me. A college education is a very rewarding option for many of America’s young adults but not everybody. Think about it. Make a plan. Talk to others. Don’t just arbitrarily go into debt. If you have a dream and
a passion that a college degree will help you fulfill then you won’t feel so bad paying off debt. If you are clueless about how you will use your college degree then sit down with someone and talk about your life, your goals and your best avenue of achieving them. It’s your life and your future. Make the best of it and happy graduation! Contact him at GMollette@aol.com. Learn more at www.glennmollette.com Like his facebook page at www. facebook.com/glennmollette

Tennis courts gone, courts, stadium turf project begins soon Kings Mountain High’s old tennis courts are no more, and work on the construction of six new tennis courts along with locker rooms and rest rooms at the facility will begin soon. T&L Grading and Hauling of Kings Mountain spent all day last Thursday and Friday, and again Monday tearing down fencing and poles and ripping up and hauling away the five courts that have been in place about 50 years. T&L did all of the work as a contribution to the $1.6 million Touchdown Club building drive that will not
just be for a new tennis facility but also for artificial turf for the football field and a new track at John Gamble Stadium. Both the tennis and football/track facilities should be completed by the first home football game on August 23. The building fund is already underway. KMTD Club president David Brinkley encourages all individuals and businesses in the city and area to contribute. Contributions can be made in a lump sum or through a draft at Bank of the Ozarks. Pledge forms are available by contacting
Brinkley and other members of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club. It is a five-year project but all of the other club building programs such as the new field house and weight room have been paid off early. All gifts are fully tax deductible. Checks should be made out to KMTD Building Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 2017, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. Naming rights are associated with all of the projects. Contact David Brinkley for more information.

Angels take KM’s Will Wilson in first round of major league baseball draft Kings Mountain’s Will Wilson was drafted #15 by the Los Angeles Angels in the first round of the major league baseball draft Monday night. Wilson recently completed his junior season with the NC State Wolfpack. He already has enough credits to graduate so he is expected to sign. Wilson is the only Kings Mountain High School product to ever be drafted in the first round. Paul Brannon, the state home run king off the 1990 Mountaineer nine, was drafted in the third round by the Seattle Mar-
iners and played part of one season in the minors before suffering a career-ending injury. Dick Gold, a first team All-American second baseman with the Florida State Seminoles in 1969, was drafted by the Chicago Cubs but did not sign. Wilson’s three-year career with the Wolfpack was remarkable. He hit over .300 each season and finished his career last week in the first round of the NCAA playoffs with a team-leading .335 batting average with 74 hits in 221 trips to the plate.
Jake Dixon memorials to KMHS turf project The family of the late Jake Dixon has approved memorials to the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club in support of the club’s newest project of turf for the playing field at John Gamble Stadium. KMTD Club president David Brinkley said $660 was given by golfers at the recent Touchdown Club tournament and additional memorials can be sent to Kings Mountain Touchdown Club, PO Box 2017, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. Put a notation on the check’s memo line “Jake Dixon memorial.” Dixon, a charter member of the Touchdown Club, volunteered his time with KMHS athletics for over 50 years, first as the clock op-
JAKE DIXON erator at varsity basketball teams and later as clock operator at football games. All persons giving money in memory of Dixon will be listed on the recognition board in the lobby of the new field house. If you are already on the board, the donation could move you to a higher level.
KM puts seven on All-BSC team Kings Mountain High placed seven players on the 2019 All Big South Conference softball team. They included pitchers Catie Payne and Summer Deaton, infielders Emily Graham, Jenna Ramsey and Jossie Nail, outfielder Brit-
tney Reynolds and utility player Jessie Oehler. They and other players led the Lady Mountaineers to a second place finish in the Big South for the second straight season. Crest won the conference both years.
VOTER ID
vember 15, 2019 for use in the 2020 elections. H.B. 646 also allows voter ID cards to contain photos not taken directly but obtained by qualifying institutions, provided there is a frontal image that includes the individual’s face and represents a clear, accurate likeness of the individual. State House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) sponsored the voter ID constitutional amendment approved by North Carolinians in 2018. “We remain committed to ensuring the integrity of our elections systems with commonsense voter ID laws and working with local institutions to help every eligible North Carolinian cast a ballot,” Speaker Moore said. The legislation also allows tribal enrollment cards issued by a state or federal recognized tribe to be used as voter ID, regardless of expiration date, and makes changes to rules regarding early one-stop voting locations and hours in odd-numbered years only. Thirty-four other states have some form of voter ID law. North Carolina is the last state in the Southeast to require some form of voter ID.
From Page 1A due solely to a lack of a printed expiration date on the card. North Carolina’s voter ID rules will apply to both in-person and absentee ballots beginning in 2020. “We worked together with our colleagues across the aisle and across the building to accomplish a common-sense solution to voter ID implementation,” said Rep. David Lewis (R-Harnett) during debate on the bill. “This update to the original bill conclusively resolves all known issues identified by the university system and Board of Elections. We worked with both of those entities to identify and address barriers to IDs being approved.” A qualifying voter ID approved by the State Board before March 15, 2019, would continue to be eligible for use in any election prior to December 31, 2022, without any further submission or approval under H.B. 646. Any identification card denied approval by the State Board before March 15, 2019, could submit a revised application by No-
He also led the team in doubles with 20, home runs with 16, slugging percentage (.668) and assists (125). In addition, he scored 55 runs, had 146 total bases, a .954 fielding percentage, 61 putouts and committed only nine errors. Wilson started all four of his seasons with the Mountaineers. He has won numerous awards while at NC State, making All-Atlantic Coast Conference and All-American all three years. He was recently named the ACC Defensive Player
of the Year At present, he is one of five finalists for the Brooks Wallace Award, which honors the nation’s top shortstop. Wilson is the first Wolfpack player to be named a finalist for the award since Trea Turner in 2014. The Wallace Award will be presented by the College Baseball Foundation this summer. It is named for former Texas Tech shortstop Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977-1980. He died of leukemia at the age of 27.

Graduation ceremony survival tips commodate more people. This subjects participants to the weather, whether that means blazing sun or wet and rainy conditions. Be sure to dress comfortably. If the ceremony is indoors, realize it may be hotter than normal in the auditorium or they may have the air conditioning turned up to overcompensate. Dressing in layers is may be your best option. * You may consider leaving young children at home. Graduation cer-
emonies can last for several hours, during which the audience is expected to remain quiet and attentive. Such expectations may prove challenging to youngsters. Encourage family members to keep young children at home; they can always enjoy the post-ceremony party later on. * Protect your skin when attending outdoor ceremonies. Even if the meteorologist warns of thunderstorms, play it
safe and coat yourself in sunscreen. This will protect your skin if you're sitting out in the sun and afterward when standing outside as well-meaning family members insist on taking photos on campus. * Eat before the ceremony and stay hydrated. Don't skip breakfast on graduation morning. Eat a hearty meal that will hold you over until after the commencement. Make sure to stay hydrated and bring a bottle of water
with you to the ceremony. A graduation ceremony is a special event, but one that can be lengthy and
tiresome. But there are ways to make it through the ceremony more manageable.
GRADUATING CLASS OF 2019!
ŠCommunityFirstMedia
School commencement ceremonies are right around the corner, meaning thousands of students and assorted friends and family members will participate in celebrations littered with life- affirming speeches and the distribution of well-earned diplomas. Graduation can certainly be a momentous event that is remembered for years to come. But some ceremonies are remembered for all the wrong reasons. Lengthy run-times and uncomfortable conditions can turn commencement celebrations into exercises in survival. Nerves may run high, and boredom may set in. But there are ways to make the best of the situation. * Get adequate rest before the ceremony. Soonto-be graduates should go to bed early the night before the ceremony in preparation for their big day. Some commencement ceremonies begin early in the morning, and feeling rushed or exhausted from a poor night's rest can only compound nerves and anxiety. Graduation eve should be a low-key night when grads and their friends and family enjoy a quiet meal and some time to reflect on the last several years. * Dress accordingly. Grads should watch the weather report and dress for the weather under the gown. Many schools opt to hold the preceedings outdoors because the open space can ac-

KMHS seniors earn WorkKeys certificates One hundred fifty-nine students at Kings Mountain High School were awarded the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (ACT WorkKeys NCRC). The assessment-based credential is issued at four levels.
The NCRC measures and certifies the essential work skills needed for success in jobs across industries and occupations. A National Career Readiness Certificate is earned by completing the three WorkKeys Assessments: Applied Math,
Workplace Documents, and Graphic Literacy. This year, 180 KMHS senior concentrators took the NCRC. Congratulations to those students who earned a certificate: 26 Platinum, 38 Gold, 62 Silver, and 33 Bronze.

Tackling environmental issues is important to Dewi Eagan KMHS senior Dewi Eagan has a passion for the outdoors and wants to better the relationship with people and the environment by tackling environmental issues. Emphasis on litter and pollution in Cleveland County was the focus of his graduation project as he worked with David Caldwell of River Keeper Association and volunteered his time cleaning up the First Broad River. Dewi plans to attend the University of Utah this fall where he was offered an ac-
ademic scholarship as well as admission to the Honors College. He plans to double major in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Science with emphasis on climate and energy. At KMHS he is active in the National Honor Society and President of both the Beta Club and Student Participation Organization, the student body. An honor student, he ranks academically in the Top 10 in the senior class and served as a Junior Marshal last year at 2018 commencement activities. His parents are Brian
and Shelley Eagan of Kings Mountain. Eagan’s senior project pointed out that our surroundings, the geographical environment where we live, constitute our environment and it’s essential that we protect our environment and tackle pollution now to conserve our natural resources and the environment for future generations. “I appreciate working with David Caldwell and look forward to more opportunities to make a difference,’’ said Dewi.

How college students can cut living expenses The cost of college tuition is a concern for many college-bound students and their families. The cost of a college education continues to rise, but it’s not just tuition and room and board that students and their families must account for. College students may underestimate cost-of-living expenses when planning their school-year budgets. But such expenses can be substantial, catching even the most well-prepared students off guard. Fortunately, there are sev-
eral ways for college students to save money on living expenses and still make the most of their time on campus. • Venture off campus. Towns that rely heavily on colleges or universities to support their economies typically offer great deals to students willing to venture off campus. Local businesses, including bars, restaurants and entertainment venues like mini golf facilities or bowling alleys, may offer student discounts to entice kids to leave cam-
pus. Students can take advantage of these offerings to save on food and entertainment, which tend to be among the more pricey cost-of-living expenses college students contend with. • Buy secondhand furnishings. College students living in their own apartments or dorm rooms may not have the financial resources to purchase new furniture. Rather than purchasing brand new items they are likely to discard after moving out or gradu-
Congratulations
ating, college students can purchase secondhand items from local thrift stores or used furniture retailers that offer sturdy furnishings at low prices. • Become a resident advisor. Resident advisors, often referred to as “R.A.’s,” typically receive free or reduced room and board in exchange for living in the dorms and monitoring the floors they live on. Competition to be an R.A. can be competitive, but students who become R.A.’s can save thousands of dollars on room and board costs over the course of their time at school. • Make your own meals. Meal plans may be ideal for college students during their freshmen years, when students may still be adjusting to campus life. But older college students can skip the meal plan in favor of preparing their

affordable than on-campus apartments or dormitories. Students eligible to live in off-campus housing can contact local real estate agents to get a feel for the off-campus housing market before making a final decision. Cost-of-living expenses at colleges and universities can be considerable, but savvy students can find various ways to save money.

own meals. Doing so can save students substantial amounts of money, and some students may even prefer the variety available at the local grocery store over the more limited offerings available at dining halls or other campus eateries. • Move off campus.

Tips for grads considering studying abroad Study abroad programs give students unique opportunities to experience other cultures while pursuing their degrees. Such programs appeal to students who want to see the world
without interrupting their studies, and many students who study abroad develop an affinity for travel that remains with them for the rest of their lives. When considering
studying abroad programs or attending college overseas, recent high school graduates or current high school students should consider a few factors before committing to a program.
Language barrier Students, particularly those who are not fluent in a foreign language, may find it easier to live in countries where English is the primary language. While study
abroad students can expect to work with professors who speak English regardless of where they go, life outside the classroom can be difficult for young students who do not understand the pri-
mary language spoken in the country where they will be studying. Life overseas Students who want to attend school full-time See TIPS, Page 11B

Beekeeping was a diverse project for KMHS senior Kayla Hornbaker Beekeeping is a diverse project that KMHS senior Kayla Hornbaker chose to bring awareness to the endangerment of bees. The last stage of the experience was harvesting the honey. Beekeeping is so trendy because honey bees help produce great fruits and vegetables and it’s essential the novice learn everything about beehive management before the bees arrive. And one of those important rules and regulations is wearing the right clothes and covering your face, hands, wrists and ankles to avoid being stung. Preparation includes choosing the right location for your beehive before moving forward with raising bees. Under the direction of Jenkins, Kayla was suited
up properly. Bees release a pheromone when they sting which beekeepers say alerts other bees of attackers. By wearing previously stung clothing you are begging to be stung. So, beekeeping clothes are washed periodically. When handling bees a smoker is essential to calm the bees and a small one is fine for a couple of hives. You can buy smoker fuel to produce cool white smoke or use dry pine needles in your smoker. A hive tool to loosen frames and boxes is another basic supply recommended by beekeepers. Kayla, daughter of Martin Hornbaker and Tonyia Hornbaker, plans to attend Cleveland Community College and transfer to Central Piedmont Community College to pursue a ca-

major in Elementary Education. His career goal is to teach Physical Education. Son of Andy and Joanie Gregory, he is active in the youth group, choir and student leadership team at First Baptist Church. At KMHS he was a member of the National Honor Society, Beta club, FCA, and Mounties Make A Wish Club. He ran indoor and outdoor track all four years in high school.

Mayes gained new perspective on homelessness A desire to help others was KMHS senior Caleb Mayes’ focus for his graduation project – homelessness. Who better to call as his mentor than Kings Mountain’s Teresa Wingo, a strong advocate for the homeless. For the past five years Wingo has traveled around the county and served homeless families with staple food items from the trunk of her car. “This project gave me a new perspective on homelessness as we visited shelters and talked to families and became friends with them. I learned a lot from the stories I heard,’’ said Mayes. Son of Craig and Kaye Mayes of Kings Mountain, Caleb ranks scholastically in the top 10 in the Class of 2019. He is active in the National Honor Society, Beta Club, Career and Technical Honor Society, and is secretary of the debate club. He served as a Junior marshal at 2018 commencement activities. Caleb says his favorite subject in school is math-

a new start in life. And he plans to continue as an advocate for homelessness. He won’t forget the new friends he encountered and the new perspective on homelessness he can share with others. Caleb Mayes visits a homeless shelter.
TIPS overseas may benefit by first studying through a study abroad program before committing to a two- or four-year program in another country. This gives students a chance to get a feel for a country and its culture and lifestyle before making a long-term commitment to living and studying there.

Program size The safety in numbers philosophy is applicable for all travelers, but it can be especially beneficial for young students studying abroad. Students may feel more safe and comfortable when signing up for programs that include many students as opposed to more exclusive programs that include only a handful of students. Large programs provide a built-in social network, and students may feel safer exploring foreign cities in large groups made up of fellow students than going it alone or traveling in small groups. Documentation Students should speak with program directors about the documentation they may need to make the most of their time overseas. CEA Study Abroad recommends that students bring photocopies of all important documents, including passports, driver’s licenses, airline tickets,

Students also should include a list of any medical conditions or medications they take among their documentation and include their emergency contact information on this list.

Joshua Bolin will enroll in GWU as a Junior KMHS graduating senior Joshua Bolin planned his high school curriculum in such a way that he graduated from Cleveland Community College May 10 with his Associate in Arts degree and will enroll this Fall as a Junior at Gardner-Webb University. He accomplished this goal by taking both seat and on-line Career and College Promise courses and completing 61 total credit hours. It was natural that he chose wildlife management as his senior project because of his love for hunting and fishing and his passion to help wildlife species. Josh worked with
the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and helped provide white tailed deer with deer plots and built a deer feeder. He also planted soybeans and peas on a farm in Chester, SC. Son of Chris and Brooke Bolin, Josh ranks scholastically in the Top 10 of his senior class. At KMHS he has been active in the National Honor Society, Beta Club, Career and Technical Honor Society. He is a member of Love Valley Baptist Church. After college, Josh aspires “to be a good nurse.’’ His goal is to join a medical office or clinic as a Physician’s Assistant.
