the death was accidental and foul play is not suspected.

However, the investigation remains open. If anyone has information pertaining to this incident, contact the Kings Mountain Police Criminal Investigations Division at 704-734-0444.

MANEY From Page 1A Brandon Bolin, Terry Bullock, Todd Parker, and Nick Hendricks were in the department and we have all been together until now.

“Over the years I have been a part of the many joys and sorrows of my fellow co-workers who are my ‘family,’ she said. “The thing I have appreciated the most is the sense of accomplishment when an emergency arises, and the citizens of Kings Mountain are depending upon this department to get their power restored.

Maney recalled the many improvements she has seen over the years. “When I first started in the Electric department we didn’t even have a generator at the Public Works building and, during an outage, we would literally sit in the dark with a flashlight and answer phone calls - the only thing workable in the building would be the phones and I would

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Kings Mountain City Council and Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, It has been our privilege to serve Kings Mountain and the surrounding areas as ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a part of the faith community, we have led our congregations to reach out to others like Jesus did. We seek to comfort the afflicted, help bind the broken and strengthen families in our pursuit of Christ.

We are writing to you to express our great concern and opposition to the casino that is being proposed by the Catawba Indians to be built in Kings Mountain, NC. Although a number of local officials have expressed support for the project, we want you to know that there is a growing number in the faith community who oppose it. Just recently, more than 1200 local residents signed a petition that was published in the May 5, 2019 edition of the Shelby Star objecting to the casino. Many of the signers are members of our local congregations.

Jesus taught His disciples to “love one another” (John 13:34) and to “love thy neighbor as thyself” (Mark 12:31). Based on the experiences that other ministers who minister in cities with casinos have shared and the clear commands of Jesus, we believe that this proposed casino will hurt our area in ways that money cannot fix.

The gambling industry preys upon the weakest in our society like the poor and senior citizens. It fundamentally promotes greed that will result in more broken homes, distress and suicides. We are convinced that the casino will leave Kings Mountain in worse shape than when it came.

Some people argue that the economic benefit is too big to refuse. Yet, the Bible makes it clear that “the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Unfortunately, some public officials are so fixated on the proposed financial gain that they sadly ignore the moral loss and damage that our community will suffer.

Just as brothels exploit the dark lusts of mankind

and the objectification of women, casinos exploit the greed of man. They both lead to the same destruction using different paths.

As ministers of Christ, we seek to reach people when they are at their lowest. We are convinced that your support of the proposed casino will accelerate the damage that is already taking place. More despair, broken homes, domestic abuse, and neglected children are in the future of Kings Mountain if the casino is built.

A casino may pump financial resources into government programs and token hotlines to help with gambling addictions, but the faith community of this area will be left alone to go forward with its limited resources to help those who are bruised and broken by this industry.

We, as a group of ministers who love God and our communities, ask you to join us in opposing the proposed Catawba casino.

dedicated employee for 38 years, but also being a mentor and prayer warrior for many employees and I will always remember the Christian example she displayed daily. She always put the

needs of others before her own and I will miss our talks but will stay in touch by cell phone instead of dialing an extension” Mrs. Sellers laughed.

Maney ended saying

“Thank you, City of KM for allowing me to serve you for the past 38 years! Thank you, City of Kings Mountain employees for being my family. I love you all!”

Patriot militiamen gather to plot strategy before the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Liberty Mountain: into battle with the South Fork Boys

by Robert Inman T h e S o u t h F o r k B o y s .

Sounds like a g o o d name for a blueINMAN g r a s s band. But if you had been around in 1780, you would have known them as a hardy, determined band of Patriots who played a key role in the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain.

We pay tribute to them and their fellow militiamen in our production of “Liberty Mountain,” continuing through July 20 at the Joy Performance Center in downtown Kings Mountain.

The South Fork Boys were from Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln counties, and they took their name from the South Fork River, which flowed through the land they had tamed and settled. Along its banks they farmed and traded, worshiped and raised families and – when times demanded – went to war.

They were a key element of the Patriot militia forces that fought a series of battles and skirmishes with the British and their Loyalist allies across the Piedmont.

By the time Kings Mountain came around, they were battle-tested.

In those days, militia groups chose their own

leaders, and the man the South Fork Boys chose to lead them was Frederick Hambright. He was a German immigrant who spoke English with a thick European accent. But there was no more dedicated Patriot, no one who believed more in the cause of American independence.

When the South Fork Boys gathered and joined other Patriot units surrounding the Loyalist force at Kings Mountain in October 1780, Hambright was at their head. But he was an older man and thought it best to put one of his younger colleagues, Major Chronicle, in charge for the fight. The South Fork Boys were positioned along the northeast corner of the mountain, astride the only possible escape route for the Loyalist defenders. As the battle commenced, they came under intense fire and Major Chronicle was killed. Hambright rallied the troops and attacked up the hill. He was shot and seriously wounded but kept leading his men until the victory was won.

Hambright’s modern-day descendants include Kings Mountain’s Patrick family, long involved in the civic life of the community.

They are the lead sponsor of Liberty Mountain, providing essential financial support.

The Patricks believe the play and the history behind it are part of this area’s legacy, and that support from

the area is essential to make it a continuing success.

What can you do to help?

First, come see the play.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to. If you have, come back because it’s evolving every year with new and exciting scenes and production techniques.

Bring your family and spread the word to friends and neighbors.

Second, thank the merchants, local governments and civic groups who are supporting the play. “Liberty Mountain” has a direct impact on the area’s economy by bringing in cast and crew who live and work and spend money here, along with hundreds of visitors from far and wide who come to performances.

They get a chance to see what a special area the South Fork Boys left for us.

Third, learn all you can about the Revolution and the Battle of Kings Mountain’s unique part in it. Encourage our school students to study and reflect on what our ancestors did to secure the freedoms we enjoy today.

For information and online ticket ordering, visit our website: www.libertymountaindrama.com or call 704-730-9408.

The spirit of the South Fork Boys lives on. Come help us pay tribute to them.

The Shelby Police Department shared a post on the K-9’s Facebook page from the family that adopted him, “He came to us by way of unimaginable tragedy and an expected brief stay turned into a permanent arrangement.

Ciko didn’t allow many humans to bond with him.

This bond required work and trust, but our relationship with him was so incredibly fulfilling. In Ciko, we could see the indelible mark Tim left on him through his personality and his mannerisms. Their exploits were legendary. We

The truth about roundabouts

By Loretta Cozart In the last month, Kings Mountain has added not one, but two, roundabouts.

Opinions around town vary from praise to downright distain. To gain a better understanding of this topic, the Herald reached out to Ron Humphries, Chairman of the Kings Mountain Transportation Advisory Committee for more information.

Humphries is retired from the North Carolina Department of Transportation with 30 years of service. He now works with TGS Engineers as a consultant embedded with the NCDOT Division Office in Shelby where he serves as the acting Division Design Construct Engineer.

When asked why a

roundabout is a better choice than a regular intersection, Humphries said it is all about safety. Roundabouts are safer than traditional stop sign or signal-controlled intersections due to possible conflict points. A four-way intersection has 32 vehicle points of conflict. A roundabout has eight. In addition, pedestrian conflict points are reduced from 24 to eight.

Fewer conflict points make roundabouts safer.

A second factor to consider is speed. “The City of Kings Mountain conducted a speed study of the section of South Cansler Street between Mountain Street and Gold Street, which traverses approximately 450 feet. The average speed was 55 mph.

From reports and citizen ob-

servations the high speeds occur as vehicles clear the signal at one of the intersections and race to beat the red light at the other,” he shared.

The maximum circulatory design speed for the proposed Cansler at Mountain roundabout is about 10 mph, with a design exiting speed of 15 mph.

“Mountain Street has as much or more pedestrian traffic than any other street in the City. Vehicle speed matters,” Humphries shares.

“The average pedestrian struck by a driver traveling at 20 mph has a 93 percent chance of surviving. For a 70-year-old, the chances are somewhat lower but still a robust 87 percent,” according to StreetBlogUSA.com.

to evaporation during these times of day than during the afternoon, when temperatures tend to be at their hottest.

• Choose the right watering method. It’s not just when but also how you water that can affect flowers during summer heat waves. Aboveground sprinklers might be great for lawns, but the NGA notes that such sprinklers can encourage the spread of disease on certain plants, including roses. Many gardening professionals recommend soaker hoses when watering flowers because they promote deep watering that can help the plants withstand the summer heat. If you must use an overheard watering system, set the timer so plants are watered in early in the morning or evening.

• Routinely check the soil moisture. Soil moisture can help gardeners determine if their flowers have enough water to withstand the heat.

The NGA advises gardeners to dig a 12-inch deep wedge of soil from their gardens to determine its moisture levels. If the top six inches of the soil is dry, water. If that area is still wet or moist, the plants have enough moisture to withstand the heat. Check these moisture levels more frequently during heat waves than other times of year.

• Avoid overwatering.

Novice gardeners may be tempted to water more frequently when they see wilted leaves on their flowers. But wilted leaves are not necessarily indicative of suffering plants. Plants release mois-

ture to protect themselves from excessive heat, and that release of moisture can cause leaves to wilt as the plants try to protect themselves by providing less surface area that can be exposed to the sun. So long as soil moisture levels are healthy, the flowers should be fine, even if their leaves have wilted.

(Lawns and gardens tend to draw the bulk of homeowners’ attention come spring and summer. But it’s important that property owners tend to the trees that dot their property as well.

The types of trees homeowners have on their property may influence when it’s time to trim and prune the trees.

Homeowners concerned about tree maintenance should speak with local landscaping professionals and tree services about caring for the trees on their specific properties, but there are a few tricks to pruning trees that homeowners should keep in mind when dusting off their gardening tools.

• Prune at the right time.

The Arbor Day Foundation® notes that pruning during dormancy (i.e., winter) is

the most common practice.

Pruning in late winter, after the season’s coldest temperatures have passed, can lead to impressive and healthy growth in the spring. The ADF advises that some trees, including maple and birches, may bleed sap during pruning. But this is normal and should cease as the tree starts to bloom. Novice landscapers should confirm with landscaping professionals about the best time to prune trees on their properties to ensure they are not inadvertently harming the trees or making them more vulnerable to fungus.

• Use appropriate tools.

When removing branches, use sharp tools to minimize damage to the bark. The ADF notes that young trees are best pruned with one-hand pruning shears with curved

blades. For trees with high branches, use a pole pruner or hire a professional tree service. Novices should avoid anything too risky when pruning their trees, leaving the more difficult jobs to the professionals.

• Follow the rules of pruning. When pruning trees, the ADF advises homeowners follow the one-third and a quarter rules of pruning. In adherence to these rules, no more than a quarter of a tree’s crown is removed in a single season, and main side branches are at least one-third smaller than the diameter of the trunk. When trimming deciduous trees, homeowners should never prune up from the bottom more than one-third of the tree’s total height. Finally, where possible, homeowners should aim

for side branches that form angles that are one-third off vertical to form 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock angles with the trunk.

• Water correctly. Like lawns and gardens, trees need water to thrive. Insufficient watering can make it hard for trees to thrive in summer, but overwatering can be harmful, too. The ADF suggests that watering each tree for 30 seconds with a steady stream of water from a garden hose equipped with a diffuser nozzle should be sufficient.

Newly planted trees may need more help as they try to establish deep root systems, so consider laying mulch around newly planted trees. Mulch helps the soil retain moisture and form deeper, stronger root systems.

Trees maintenance should

How to take care of your trees

How to help flowers withstand heat waves Heat waves are an inevitable part of summer in many places across the globe. While humans can escape indoors to air conditioned rooms when heat waves hit full swing, flowers planted around a property have no such luxury, putting their survival in jeopardy whenever the mercury rises to especially steamy heights.

Wilted flowers that have succumbed to the summer sun are a sight many gardening enthusiasts can recognize. But there are ways to keep flowers safe and vibrant during periods of extreme heat.

• Water at the appropriate times of day. The National Gardening Association notes that it’s best to water in the early morning and evening because less water will be lost

■ OPINION

Is America Obsolete?

Part 2

It seems the crazies this country, if we in our country are said haven't already lost to be "woke". The it. abortionists are woke, Since 1980 LBGTQTUVWXYZ when our newly people are woke, atheelected mayor, ists and anti-christs Jane Byrne, began lovers are awoke. pushing a (I can Seems everyone one hardly stand to is "woke" cept the use the word) Roger R. Christian Church. I'm Woodard, ThD. "gay rights agenda Senior Pastor not Catholic nor Bap(which is really Family Worship tist, but I tell you, I tip special rights), Center my hat to both as they similar to San try to stop these evils Francisco, a group in our country. I've been in of priests and pastors joined tomeetings and rallies from D.C. gether to stop her. We formed and around our region and with C.R.O.S.S.(Coalition Re-enfew exceptions the Baptists and forcing Our Social Standards).

Catholics have been in the fore I was one of it's officers and front of the campaigns. What gave it its name. We lobbied in will it take before the Chris- Washington and Springfield to tians get "woke"? We're losing stop the abortion, homosexual

and gambling agenda. We experienced great hatred but we won. At least for a while. Now Chicago has elected an openly lesbian, liberal (of course) mayor. I could cry.

I continued the fight in a five year pastorate in the bayous of Louisiana, later in a ten year pastorate in Los Angeles and now approaching twenty three years in Kings Mountain.

One of my fears in coming here was/is battling the religious spirit that dominates the South and certainly here. Oh we have churches. I've been told there are about a 110 in and around the city. But I wonder how many souls were collectively saved at all of our altars last Sunday? How are we impacting our community?

Do we really care? While we are comfortable and smug in our churches, souls are dying around us and our nation is going to hell. Pastors say they don't believe in getting in involved in politics. Do you believe in the freedom to preach the gospel in the public arena? Well we're gonna lose that right IF WE DON'T GET INVOLVED!!!

Some of the black members of the church I serve said that very thing to me. We don't believe the church should be involved in politics. To which I replied, "Did you feel that way when Martin Luther King was organizing the Civil Rights Movement in churches?

Our country's revolution was started primarily by Pastors.

Slavery was stopped much sooner than it would have been because of Pastors.

Are you ready for infanticide of over 60 million babies and those that survived are killed outside the womb, and elected representatives give the legislation that allows it a standing ovation? Then we sell the body parts for profit. How dare we criticize tyrants of history when we tolerate this.

We're no better than they.

Are you ready for your President to kiss his homosexual "spouse" on the cover of nation magazines; and what if he's elected? What an inauguration that will be be.

Are you ready for fifty two genders and their right to sue if you get any one of them

wrong?

Are you ready for a godless, atheist, muslim dominated society?

Are you ready for political leaders whose agenda is, if you worked and saved to have anything, they want it? Space will not permit me to go on with the list that is choking the freedoms out of our lives before our very eyes! But these things aren't coming, THEY’RE HERE! Christ said to His Church, I have something against you; you don't love me like you used to. "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent" (Rev. 2:4-5). Wake up Christian before our America becomes obsolete and just a faded memory. Any Patriots left out there?

704-739-7496 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

CANDIDATES From Page 1A Club Acres, moved with his family to Kings Mountain in 1990. He retired from coaching basketball at the high school and college level and a banking career that spanned 16 years. He has been active in financial services, Chamber of Commerce and sports arenas for 12 years.

Humphries, a newcomer to politics and Cleveland County native, is chair of the city’s transportation advisory committee and retired after 30 years with the NC Department of Transportation and works with TGS Engineering in Shelby as a consultant and Division Design and Construct engineer. He serves on the city’s planning and zoning board and is a professional land surveyor.

Miller, At Large Councilmember of 102 Jason Drive, has lived in Kings Mountain for 30 years. He has worked for over 20 years with municipalities helping them with investments and bond financing and is a Chartered Financial Analyst candidate.

Neisler is married to wife, Dawn, for 10 years and together they have six children: Wendy, Garrett, Alex, Avan, Ashton and Allen. He is the son of Mary Neisler of Kings Mountain and the late Charles Neisler. A graduate of Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida with a B.S. in Health and physical education, he has served on the Cleveland County Healthcare System’s board for 26 years and is Elder of First Presbyterian Church and associate of Good Hope Presbyterian Church in Kings Mountain. He has shot the City of Kings Mountain’s 4th of July fireworks show for 30 years and initiated the downtown Christmas Fantasy Light Show.

In his filing statement Neisler said, “I have been the most blessed man to have had the opportunity to represent the citizens of Kings Mountain these last 4 years. It’s an honor and privilege that I’ve never taken lightly, as it is easy to represent this active community that has so much community spirit!”

Neisler complimented city council and staff for the accomplishments achieved in the last for years saying, “Time has really flown by in my first term back as Mayor. When I look at my cell phone pictures, my memory overflows with the wonderful events and projects we have been able to accomplish. All of this has happened with hard work

from a great team here at the City. They have done so many positive things for the betterment of our community.

“I’ve had the advantage of being the recipient of that hard work as we realized the benefit of signing with NTE Energy for our wholesale power,” he said. “It has paid great dividends, as we have reduced electric rates an average of 10% across the board. Reducing rates is unheard of in today’s climate!! I am also extremely proud that Kings Mountain continues to be one of the safest cities in North Carolina as we have been rated 20th in the state!

“Today, Kings Mountain is situated to have a bright future and I would not hesitate to say that we are in better shape than any other city in North Carolina. All of this makes me proud and more energized than ever to continue to work with City Council and a great City Staff,” Neisler said.

Thombs has been married to Daniel Thombs 49 years. They have two children, their spouses, grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

“Having served for one year, I am convinced that I can make a difference and bring new ideas as a change agent, help create vision and continued momentum for our great Citizens and the City of Kings Mountain,’’ said Thombs in a filing statement.

Thombs added, “During my one year on City Council, I have the privilege of serving on the Housing and Nominating Committees.

There is a desire to see citizens really become involved and educated about our great City government and become proactive citizens. My short term has been one of voting to finalize many great economic opportunities that were coming to fruition upon my arrival.”

Thombs said, “I am a community advocate and have a passion to empower others. I want to see the City of Kings Mountain become a flourishing economic community with great resources for the benefit of all citizens.”.

Life is busy... let an agent handle your insurance, and relax knowing they have you covered.

The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com just as committed today as I was then to serving with a high level of professionalism, trust, and integrity.

I will continue to work diligently to keep Kings Mountain on a positive and aggressive movement into the future,” Gordon said.

“I am currently serving on an ad hoc recreation committee. One thing we are focusing on is developing some small parks or playgrounds in different neighborhoods or expanding on the ones we already have. We already have a great working relationship with the YMCA that works great. I think there are some opportunities worth looking at for our youth, seniors, and all other age groups. These additional opportunities could be offered through the senior center and through neighborhood parks,” he shared.

“Citizen input and involvement is important to me. I have tried hard to get more citizens involved and I would like to hear more from the citizens,” he added. “Much like I manage my own business, I always stress the importance of being proactive, so we don’t have to be reactive.”

Gordon said, “A successful downtown business district is vital to the success of Kings Mountain.

A lot of focus has been placed on development downtown but there is still a lot of work to be done.

The development of the amphitheater at Patriots Park is a step in the right direction. Events that may be held there will put a significant amount of people downtown at certain times.

Hopefully this will strike an interest for businesses to locate downtown. Most of the buildings downtown are privately owned but we must continue to establish a better relationship and assist them with finding grants and funding that is already available through local, state, and government agencies.

“I am committed to continuing my expected duties as a council member and continue the work that goes above and beyond. I welcome the opportunity to meet or talk to anyone about Kings Mountain’s past, present, or future and always welcome your comments, opinions,’’ said Gordon.

It has been my honor and privilege to have served our city these past four years as a city councilman representing Ward 5 and I again offer my service for four more years,” he added.

WE CAN HELP STOP FORECLOSURES! OVERWHELMING CREDIT CARD DEBT! REPOSSESSIONS!

Humphries shared his vision for Kings Mountain in his filing statement. “The decisions made in the next four years will determine our City’s direction. Do we want to become a thriving exurb of the greater Charlotte region or remain ‘on the verge’ like we have for the last 20 years,” he asks?

“For our City to prosper we must plan for improving and expanding our infrastructure, work to be included in regional transportation plans, lay the groundwork for building a strong vibrant central business district, and develop a new comprehensive land use plan that provides for business, industry, transportation, housing, green space, recreation areas, healthcare, and amenities that will enhance the quality of life,” he says.

“With thoughtful decisions smart sustainable growth will occur and Kings Mountain will beautifully mature to provide many fruits for future generations. I do not see myself as running against anyone but instead asking you for the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience to help guide our City to a positive future.”

Miller and his wife, Julie, have lived in Kings Mountain for 30 years, where he has been a deacon at First Baptist Church.

They have been married for 37 years. Together they have three grown children: one is an attorney; one is an engineer; and, one is a registered nurse.

He currently serves on the Housing Committee, the Nominating Committee, the Gaston Cleveland Lincoln Municipal Planning Organization and have twice been the chair of the Finance Committee. He also served on the Planning and Zoning Board, as well as the Board of Adjustments.

In his filing statement, Miller said, “I was elected to the Kings Mountain City Council in 2005, Ward 5 seat, and since 2011 have served in an At-Large seat and would like to serve another term. I have experience and education that helps me try to do a good job for the citizens of Kings Mountain.

“Over my terms in of-

fice, I believe I have participated in analysis and votes that have saved the city millions of dollars and made the city millions of dollars. I have also learned policies and strategies used by other cities and presented them to our city. I believe I can continue to make valuable and positive contributions to our city,” Miller said.

“We have continued to invest in our electric, water, natural gas, sewer, storm water, fiber optic and data storage utilities to keep them well maintained and reliable. We have done the same with fire and police protection, aging services, trash pick-up, recycling, building and grounds maintenance, parks and street maintenance. All without raising rates and without skimping on responsible replacement and upgrades,” said Miller.

“We have been able to do this by seeking new technologies and strategies that provide efficiencies.

For example: smart meters, energy savings contracting, wholesale power purchasing agreements with NTE, prepaid natural gas purchasing, and by being proactive at economic development and intergovernmental relations to recruit new companies which provide new jobs, new utility revenue and new tax revenue,” he said.

By leveraging utilities and industrial development, we have been able to provide citizens a better quality of life without high taxes or high utility rates. We even recently lowered electric rates.”

“We are working on a comprehensive strategic plan and a review of our zoning and land use ordinances. We are also working to develop a housing stock development policy to provide greater local control over the quantity and quality of new and existing housing stock, while complying with state and federal fair housing laws,” Miller said.

ROUNDABOUTS

signed, including the one currently under construction on KM Blvd. at Margrace Road. Usually during the discussion someone will say that the problem is lack of enforcement. The simple fact is there are not enough officers to be everywhere all the time,” he explains.

Primary concern in a roundabout is whether trucks, school busses, and fire trucks get through it.

The intersection at Cansler and Mountain were tested and there were no problems.

They also added a “truck apron” to allow for any issues.

Humphries adds, “It’s interesting to note that FHWA studies have shown about an 80% public disapproval rate prior to roundabout construction and an over 80% public approval rate three months after its completion.”

He advises drivers to please be patient and obey the signs and flaggers during construction.

“I can ensure you that the City of Kings Mountain, the Engineering firm they consulted, and KMTAC made a careful and critical examination of the Cansler/Mountain St. intersection before deciding upon the roundabout option,” he said.

From Page 3A

At 30 mph one in five pedestrians will not survive.

At 40 mph statistics and the laws of physics really take hold with the average survival rate for a healthy 30-year-old dropping to 43% and for a 70-year-old to near 0%.

The deadliest types of highway collisions are head-on crashes, striking a fixed object, and T-bones.

Roundabouts lower the possibility of those to near zero.

Speed also determines the survival rate of vehicle to vehicle collisions. Roundabouts are not perfect but the accidents that do occur in them are almost always low speed side swipes that result in minor injury or property damage only.

“Drivers cannot ‘run’ a roundabout. To the best of my knowledge only a few fatalities have ever occurred in modern US roundabouts and they had extenuating circumstances, such as a motorist running from the police on a dark rural highway,” he said.

Humphries has “conducted and been involved in more than a few public meetings and workshops for roundabouts “I have de-

The free event featured food vendors, a “Kid Zone” area, and a local author book signing, and “Revolutionary War reenactors”. The Kid Zone area included inflatables, games, and a drum circle. There were fun activities

for the entire family.

Shortly after 9 p.m., the fireworks show began as one of the event’s largest crowds gathered to celebrate the nation’s 243rd birthday.

Police Chief Lisa Proctor commented, “It was a good day for my department; we had no major incidents to deal with at this huge event.

Lots of people came to enjoy the day celebrating their freedoms as we continued to do what we do best serve and protect our citizens.”

City Manager Marilyn Sellers said, “We had a lot of people. I predict Beach Blast will be the same.”

Work continues on Gamble Stadium drain

Work is winding down on the new drain for John Gamble Stadium. As of early Monday morning, workers had installed pipe from the end zone in front of Bill Bates Field House and were within 10 yards of the end zone at the south end of the stadium. They were within about 40 yards of the creek and, with good weather should be finished soon. After their work is complete, preparations will begin to install artificial turf. Weather permitting, the project should be completed in time for the Mountaineers' opening-season home game with the Burns Bulldogs on August 23.

Zane Oakley wins first place in Pinewood Derby World Championship Nine-year-old Zane Oakley won the World Champion Title in the Pinewood Derby’s Worldwide Championship on June 30, 2019, winning first in place for Cub Scout in the Stock Car Bear Division (third graders). The annual event is held in Times Square in New York City.

Oakley is a member Cub Scout Pack 93 sponsored

by East Elementary School and is a rising 4th grader at West Elementary. This is his third year competing and he steadily improved in the standings each year until he won his championship title.

In the Pinewood Derby, Scouts build their own cars to specifications with the help of a parent. So, his father, Wayne, helped his son to build the car. Contestants start with a piece of wood, two axles, and four wheels.

That’s it. It is up to the parent and child to make the car

as aerodynamic as possible and requires a great deal of collaboration and research.

The project encourages team building skills and family time.

When speaking of his win last year, Zane said, “You also have to align it, so it doesn’t bump the track and that makes it faster. And, then we had to make it pretty. We worked two hours a day to get the car ready.”

About the whole building process, Zane said, “You sand it a lot and make the car pointy, so it goes faster. You sand the axles, too. It takes a lot of sanding, a lot of sanding. It took us two months to build it.”

If your child is interested in Scouting, Cub Scout Pack 93 meets at East School at 7 pm every Tuesday. Contact David Evans at 704-4729611 for more information. Cub Scouts includes students in Kindergarten through Fifth grades.

Miles Crouse and Mike Melton each shot 78 to take low gross in last week’s Cleveland County Senior Golf Association match at Deer Brook.

Jamie Richard (86-22) took low net with a 64.

Roger Thompson was closest to the pin on 12 and John Wortman sank the longest putt on 18.

There was no match on Thursday, July 4.

On Thursday, June 27 at Cherokee National John Caveny, Ralph Justice, Keith Lackey and Jim Ramsey tied for low gross with 74s.

Jim Ramsey (74-16) took low net with a 58. Richard Harvell was closest to the pin on 17 and Gil Stowe sank the longest putt on 18.
