City welcomes Thombs as RED, WHITE newest City Council member SCENES FROM JULY 4TH

& BOOM Inside: A & B Sections

Kings Mountain woman helps the homeless By Loretta Cozart Every day Kings Mountain resident Teresa Wingo ministers to the homeless, those in need with precious little of their own. She learned to do this from her mother and grandmother before her, by watching and learning from them. “When I was six, I watched my mother give a woman her shoes. She just took them off and gave them to her.” “Grandma Georgia would bake cakes and make extra food for anyone who needed it. Her home was always filled with people. Helping others is a generational thing in my family.” Wingo follows in the footsteps of two strong women who set her on this path an early age. “When I was young people called the homeless ‘Hobos’,” Wingo said. “I didn’t understand and asked my Mom why people called them Hobos. “Mom said ‘we call people by their names, because they matter to God.’ “In elementary school, I would to give my lunch money to anyone who needed it. They were in need much more than me. I would give away my toys and anything I had that I thought others needed.” These early life lessons continued with Wingo into adulthood. Each day, she collects water, Gatorade, and snacks to distribute to the homeless. Folks wishing to donate supplies communicate with her on Facebook and she meets them around town to gather their donations. She loads up her coolers and ventures out four or five hours every day. “I go anywhere within one a half hour’s drive from Kings Mountain: Gastonia, Shelby, Lincolnton, Cherryville, Rock

On July 1st at 3:00 p.m., Annie Thombs was sworn in as Kings Mountain’s newest City Council member, filling a vacancy left by the passing of Howard Shipp in March. Thombs is a lifelong resident of Kings Mountain and has been married to husband Daniel for 48 years. Together, they have two children: Pamela and Danny. They also have 4 grandchildren and, as of last April, one great-grandchild. Early in her career, Thombs worked in the City of Kings Mountain’s Redevelopment Commission for 10 years. In that role she acquired and relocated 160 families. Subsequently, she worked for the City of Gastonia for 30 years and retired

as their Assistant Community Development Administrator. After retirement, Thombs began working with with grassroots non-profits, training and advising their Board of Directors. One such group is the Davidson Alumni Association that recently acquired Davidson Elementary School, which they plan to develop it as a one-stop-shop resource for the community. Thombs foresees this as a facility as a catalyst for positive change. Among other things, she envisions a program there that will help redirect children’s creative energies in positive ways.

I help folks in Kings Mountain, too. “I have an eye for the homeless, I can see them. I stop and offer them water or whatever they need. I ask people their names and spend time with them, because they matter to me. Everybody is God’s beloved,” Wingo said. She has become well known in the homeless communities where she visits. “I give them whistles and flashlights and when they see my car, they whistle or flash their lights, and I stop,” said Wingo. She is a lifeline for many in need and they are glad to see her. “Everything I do is for the Kingdom of God, out of my car, out of a cooler. I help ‘the least of them’ and I thank God for trusting me to love them right where they are. I go alone and don’t ask those I help how they got where they are now. “We all have bad days and we are instructed to help others. Only God can judge. Wingo says, “I just ask God to not let me love anything I own more than I love Him. “Every day, I work to help others, because God says, ‘through you, let them see Me!’”

Ferris lands featured role in Liberty Mountain By Loretta Cozart Devanna Ferris is a budding young actor who portrays the character ‘Franklin McQueen’ in the fifth season of Liberty Mountain. Ferris’ stage presence commands your attention as she breezes in and out of scenes with the finesse of a seasoned actor. During her first year of middle school, Ferris took a drama class and found that she loved acting. She has performed in ‘SHREK’ and ‘Rascals Under the Big Top’. She describes herself as a real ‘drama geek’. “When I take on a character, I become that character. It isn’t me pretending to be that person, I feel like I become that person.” Ferris has been watching Liberty Mountain for the last four years, since she was eight years old. Playwright Bob Inman is her grandfather and through him she has come to love the play and the story behind it. At the age of twelve, Ferris decided the time had come to audition for this year’s play and she was good enough to land a key role.

The Kings Mountain Battlefield: A Sacred Place I t ’ s not every community that has an historic battlefield in its back yard, and INMAN that’s one thing that sets Cleveland and surrounding counties apart from most anywhere in America. The Kings Mountain National Military Park is the site of the battle that turned the tide of the American Revolution and helped ensure that the colonies’ struggle to be free from British rule would succeed. The battle was a dramatic fight to the death between two forces of Americans – one, loyal to King George of England, the other composed of Patriot frontiersmen. The only British soldier there was Major Patrick Ferguson, who led the Loyalist force. The military park is a

must-visit site for Americans who are interested in how the nation came to be, and especially for folks in our region, many of whom are descended from the brave men on both sides who fought at Kings Mountain. The National Park Service maintains the battlefield site. The superb Visitors Center features interactive exhibits and an excellent film by the History Channel that takes visitors on a virtual trip through the days leading up to and including the battle. Visitors can walk a trail that winds around the mountain and along the way see the grave of Major Ferguson, who died in a hail of Patriot bullets at the end of the battle. It ends at the summit, where an impressive monument pays tribute to the combatants and lists the 28 Patriots who died there. The park is a busy place throughout the year. During school months, you’ll find kids from elementary to high school visiting a place

British major Patrick Ferguson, portrayed by renowned portrait artist Thomas Kelly Pauley. they’ve heard about in their classes. In the summer, visitors from literally all over America are there. At “Liberty Mountain,” we encourage families to make a day of history. A visit to the battlefield, and then an afternoon or evening at our play, where we tell the story of how the battle came to pass. We take you into the lives of the immigrants – many of them Scots-Irish who fled poverty, violence and religious persecution in Northern Ireland. They

came here to raise their children, make a living from the fertile land and dense forest, prosper, and worship as they pleased. Over time, they were caught up in the colonies’ struggle for independence, and formed the forces on both sides that fought the Kings Mountain battle. When you stand on the ground where the fight took place, you have a sense of the spirit of the conflict. It’s a sacred place. We have two more weekends of performances of “Liberty Mountain,” and we hope you’ll join us for an action-packed, family-friendly show you won’t forget. Visit our website for more information on the play and on-line ticketing for performances: www. Libertymountaindrama. com. Playwright Robert Inman is a former newscaster for Charlotte’s WBTV and the author of novels, movies, and stage plays. Visit his website at www.robert-inman.com.

HOWARD SHIPP HONORED – On Sunday, July 1, Kings Mountain honored longtime City Councilman Howard Shipp. Mayor Scott Neisler presented Shipp’s widow, Kay Francis Shipp, with a plaque honoring his service to the community (December 12, 1999 – March 19, 2018) after reading the Resolution presented during the March Council meeting.

FERRIS From Page 1A in any year, but we all do our part to tell the story.” Speaking of what it is like to work with her grandfather, Ferris said, “I’m used to seeing him every day as my ‘chill grandpa’, but in rehearsal he in engaged in a way I hadn’t seen him before. “He says without the actors his play is just words on a page. We help bring his characters to life,” she adds. “I really enjoy working with him and Caleb and everyone in the cast.” When asked what she was most surprised about the experience, Ferris remarked she “was most surprised how much fun we have backstage. We laugh and joke a lot. Everyone has a good time.” Bob Inman describes the scene backstage as “an anthill”. When asked about that, Ferris replied, “If it is an anthill, it is a very organized anthill. We manage to get to our scenes on time and don’t get in each other’s way, despite

the tight quarters in which we work. When someone needs by, you hear ‘excuse me, pardon me’ and by they go.” When asked whom she most admired in the cast, Ferris replied, “I enjoy working with Adam Phillips, who portrays Caleb Martin and has been in the performance for five years. He is phenomenal actor. I also enjoy working with Jackson Gembroys, who portrays Joseph Martin for the first time this year. He has a

commanding stage presence and has a very cool vibe.” But Liberty Mountain is an educational play, after all. Last year, when Ferris was in history class, her teacher glossed over the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution, only giving it credit for slowing down the British until the French could arrive. Ferris took the opportunity to “share the story of the Battle of Kings Mountain and its historical significance

in ‘turning the tide of success’ which significantly impacted the entire outcome of the American Revolution. It amazes me how many people don’t know this story.” It seems that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Bob Inman’s family. And with another generation to carry on the story of the Battle of Kings Mountain, it seems what happened on ‘Liberty Mountain’ will be shared for generations to come.

THOMBS From Page 1A Thombs never thought of herself as a politician. And, even though she now serves on City Council, she still doesn’t consider herself one. “Being a politician never crossed my mind,” said Thombs in a recent interview. “Council member Howard Shipp asked me to serve, and I declined. So, he just asked me to pray about it. I considered the topic a done deal and didn’t think about it again. When Howard Shipp passed, folks in the community asked me to serve and I declined a second time. I was just too busy. “But after a while, so

many people asked that I thought it was something I should pray about. And I did. Afterward, I sensed it was something I was supposed to do, so I applied to complete Councilman Shipp’s term,” Thombs said. Of the three candidates considered, Thombs was unanimously chosen by City Council to complete the term that ends in December 2019. When asked to describe the physical boundaries of Ward 1, Thombs described it as a meandering line that begins in the Galilee Community and ends on Waco Road. It includes parts of King Street, Cansler, and Waterson Streets. “Ward 1 was created in a time when the Federal Government mandated re-

industry that can pay living wages and empower adults in a changing world. Something must move that barometer. The City has done a wonderful job planning for growth. Now it is our job to make that growth happen.” Thombs doesn’t see herself as a politician, but as a representative of the people. “I am here to listen and hear what people have to say. I am not here to be popular, I am here to represent the people,” she said. Kings Mountain’s newest City Council member is eager to help our community bring in more businesses to our community, resulting in higher wages and a better quality of life for all our citizens.

I was encouraged when City Council members explained that they may not always agree, but that they work together as a team.” Thombs’ passion for her constituents in Ward 1 is inspiring. When asked about her goals on City Council, Thombs explained, “I would like to encourage economic empowerment by bringing jobs to the city and surrounding areas. The median income of Kings Mountain is $38,000 and there is just not much a family can do on that income. “We need to bring in

about because we are too busy living out what we think is the faith journey God intends for us to be on. Over the next three weeks, I hope to help us explore the Trinity. As we look back at the basics of who God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are, we might be surprised that we have been missing some valuable details in our stories. Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” Fearing God is not a very popular message these days in the United States. I would imagine if you strolled down the aisle of any local Christian bookstore, you probably will find many books

teaching about how much God loves us. God does love us, that is true, but scripture says that we are to fear Him first. Proverbs 1:7 says that we are fools if we despise wisdom and instruction. When we skip past the point of fearing God first and jumping right to how much He loves us, we run the risk of putting ourselves in His place. We think “He cannot get mad at me for doing this, or not listening to that, He loves me, right?” Fearing God is not about bowing down to a tyrant. Instead fearing God simply means acknowledging the fact that He is God and we are not. When we start there, it is so much easier to truly see how much God loves us and wants to bless us.

DAR Awards Day winners Artist Myla Athitang brings Swofford’s story to life

Submitted by Robin Masters

On June 8, 2018 members of the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, attended Awards Day at the Intermediate School and the Middle School to present the DAR Youth Citizenship Medals to four deserving students. This medal is given to students in Grades 5-11 who exhibit the characteristics of Honor, Service, Courage, Leadership and Patriotism. Chapter Chaplain Becky Scism presented the 5th Grade Award to Olivia Sanchez Soto and the 6th Grade Award to Bransyn Bolin. Chapter Member and past DAR Good Citizen Erica Carpenter presented the 7th Grade Award to Railey Bolt and the 8th Grade Award to Jasmine Clark. Miss Carpenter recognized the Chapter’s Seventh Grade American History Essay Contest Winner Eli Osborne. Eli’s essay was also the NCSDAR District II Winner and went on to State Competition. Each year the National Society sponsors the American History Essay Contest, open to students in Grades 5-8 and the Christopher Columbus Essay Contest, open to students in Grades 9-12. The 2018-2019 title for the American History Essay will be “The Women’s Suffrage Campaign”. Students are asked to imagine living in 1919, the year the 19th Amendment was ratified giving women the right to vote. The title for the Christopher Columbus Essay Contest will be “Comparing Ship Technology: The Ships Columbus Used Versus Ships of Today.” The essay information will be available at the Intermediate, Middle and High Schools at the beginning of the new school year.

given me was too vague,” she said. “I wanted to bring his vision to life and it takes a lot of talking to determine what someone envisions. What they see in their minds-eye might be totally different from what I interpret.” In the end, Myla submitted three sketches and a portrait of the main character speaking in church, with his father standing behind him with his hand on his son’s shoulder. When asked what is was like to be a published artist, Myla replied, “It is unreal. It took a while for the finished product to be ready. And, to be honest, I almost forgot about it. I had so much due at the end of the school year and was under a lot of pressure. “On top of that, my grandmother was ill with cancer, and I was dealing with all of that, too. I walked into my art class and Principal Rikard and Reverent Swofford were

there. He had framed and matted my portrait and came to my art class to present it to me. I just remember smiling when I saw it; it was just what I needed at that time.” “This whole experience is surreal. I feel as if I wasn’t the one who illustrated the book. But, I think it is great and may one day help me get into a college art program. “I want to thank Reverend Swofford for this experience…. I want to thank you for the opportunity.” Reverend Dale Swofford is an artist himself and understands first-hand the importance of reaching out to budding artists. “I enjoyed collaborating with Myla,” Swofford said. “I gave her vague descriptions, so she could interpret my book and bring the characters to life. I think she hit a homerun,” he said.

Myla Athitang is your typical rising junior at Kings Mountain High School. She prepares for college by taking A/P courses, always mindful of the requirements needed for college applications. She is the yearbook co-editor and has friends with whom she enjoys spending time. Her one diversion from all the pressure life brings is her art. Unlike any other student at Kings Mountain High School, Myla is a published artist having been chosen by Rev. Dale Swofford as the artist to illustrate his first book, “Goin’ South”. When asked what drew her to submit art for the project, Myla says that her art teacher presented the opportunity to the class. “I thought it was an interesting opportunity, but it almost didn’t happen. I forgot the deadline and submitted my work the day Reverend Swofford was coming by to review the submissions. “I read the chapter about getting a car fixed, so I drew a picture of a gas station.” Swofford liked the work and asked her to share some portrait work she had done. “I had drawn a portrait of a friend, so I submitted that,” she said. “With that submission, the project went from various artists illustrating the book, to me illustrating the entire book myself.” Myla collaborated with Reverend Swofford and asked for more details were needed to flesh-out a character. “I would ask for more descriptions, if I felt what he had

Matt Bridges named KMHS athletic director Three changes in the Kings Mountain High School athletic department were announced this week by Principal Julie Rikard. Kings Mountain native and former Mountaineer athlete Matt Bridges has been named athletic director, replacing Mark Latham who retired effective July 1. Kevin Cruise, who is beginning his 12th year as line coach for the football team, has been named assistant AD, a position he held from 2007-2010. And, Brad Melton has been named head baseball

coach, replacing Coach Bridges. Bridges, who served as assistant AD under Coach Latham, calls his new position a “good opportunity. I am honored,” he said. “Just to be leading our program, which has been very successful, is a great honor. This is the school and community I grew up in and hopefully I can build a good relationship with the community and coaches and be a role model for the youth growing up.” Baseball has always been in Bridges’ blood, but he said he wanted to give up

coaching the sport to give the AD position the time and devotion that it deserves. Bridges is a 2001 graduate of KMHS where he played baseball and wrestling for four years, and football his senior year. He played two years of baseball at Rockingham County Community College and two years at Gardner-Webb University. After college, he spent some time coaching in a collegiate wooden bat league in New York before returning home. He taught and coached at Shelby Middle

and Shelby High for several years before joining the faculty and coaching staff at KMHS. He was head baseball coach for six years (201318). His best team, which featured current NC State All-American Will Wilson, was in 2016 when the Mountaineers went 20-6 and three rounds in the state 3A playoffs. That was the Mountaineers’ seventh winningest season in school history. Although it was tough to give up coaching baseball, Bridges said he hopes to continue the outstanding

tradition of overall athletic success Kings Mountain has enjoyed over the years. “We want to continue moving forward,” he said. “We want to build a lasting relationship with all of our supporters and athletes. This is a great program to be a part of.” Bridges is a second generation athletic director. His mother, Dianna, coached volleyball and served as athletic director before moving into administration. His father, Wayne, and brother, Jason, were also athletes at KMHS.

Matt Bridges has been named new athletic director at KMHS.

Cruise back on clock Melton named baseball as KMHS assistant AD coach at his alma mater Longtime assistant football coach Kevin Cruise has been named assistant athletic director at Kings Mountain High School, Principal Julie Rikard announced this week. The Georgia native and former Gardner-Webb football player said he will continue as line coach of the Mountaineer football team and will also continue his duties as head coach of the women’s softball team. Cruise came to Kings Mountain in the fall of 2007 when Greg Lloyd was hired as head football coach. Cruise held the assistant AD position for three years before giving it up. He said he is excited to be back in the role to help continue the overall success of the Mountaineer athletic program which has won numerous Wells Fargo Cup awards over the past 11 seasons. “My (new) job is basically to help make Matt Bridges’ job a little easier while still supporting all of the athletes,” he said. Cruise has been an important part of the Mountaineer football success over the past 11 years. He has

Kevin Cruise has been named assistant athletic director at KMHS. developed offensive linemen who have helped the Mountaineers post numerous double-digit win seasons as well as conference championships in both the Southwestern and Big South Conferences, which are recognized statewide as two of the toughest 3A conferences in the state. Spring is probably the busiest time for athletic directors but Cruise said he will continue to give full attention to the women’s softball program which has

improved tremendously during his two-year tenure. His team finished second in the Big South Conference in the spring and three of his players made the All-Region and All-State teams. Cruise said he also plans to continue his duties on the PA system for Mountaineer basketball games. He said he looks forward working with Matt Bridges overseeing the entire Mountaineer athletic program. “Matt and I will still be involved with football and help each other with the other fall sports,” Cruise explained. “I will still be at the basketball games and also the wrestling matches. It may be a little bit more me in the winter because I will still be coaching a spring sport. We will do our very best to divvy it up but there will be times when we will both be there. We both enjoy athletics as a whole. “I am proud to be in this new role,” he added. “Kings Mountain is dear to my heart. We hope to continue the course that Mrs. Rikard has placed us in, and continue the success that Coach Mark Latham has started.”

Brad Melton, former football and baseball player at KMHS, has been named baseball coach of the Mountaineers and is anxious to begin his new duties when school starts back in August. Although the season won’t start until next February, Melton can work with baseball players during PE with most sessions dealing with weight training. There will be opportunities to get on the baseball field, but only during PE time. “We hope to develop speed and get a lot stronger,” he noted. “A lot of the young guys are good players and I just hope they can develop quickly.” One of Melton’s first duties was to recruit Johnny Gamble to be a varsity assistant and head JV coach. “We’ve coached together for several years and I wanted him for the development part of it. He is strong in fundamentals,” Melton said. Melton played on some of the KMHS powerhouses in the early 1990s, including the 1990 team that won the conference championship under Coach Bruce Clark.

Brad Melton is the new head baseball coach at KMHS. “That was great, but really the relationship with the people is what stands out,” he said. “Coach Clark was a very hard-nosed, straightlaced man. We all loved to hit the field whether it was for practice or a game. And, obviously, watching Paul Brannon hit all of those home runs was special.” While Melton isn’t predicting to have another Paul Brannon, he does plan to get the most out of his players and he is looking forward working with the talented

varsity returners and younger players that will be coming up from JVs next spring. “We will have our top two pitchers and several others coming back, and some good kids coming up from the JVs should be able to step in,” he said. “I’m looking for a good year. I think we will be balanced with good pitchers and we will also be able to hit the ball. We should be able to compete for the conference championship.” Melton is also pleased with the progress the younger baseball players in Kings Mountain are making and is confident the talent level will continue well into the future. “It’s a good time for baseball in Kings Mountain right now, at all levels,” Melton said. “We have two (all-star) teams playing next week and some good players from last year’s middle school team will be in high school this year. It should be a special year for us.” Melton will continue his assistant coaching duties with the KMHS football teams.

KM teams headed to state tournaments Two Kings Mountain all-star teams won District 3 championships last weekend and will compete in upcoming state tournaments. The 11-12 year-old allstars shutout West Lincoln 15-0 and Boger City 15-0 Saturday at the Kings Mountain YMCA and will head to Eden July 13 for the state tournament. The winner will advance to the World Series in Lumberton. Members of the team are Ethan Carroll, Tucker Cash, Gavin Cutler, Ethan Guy, Alex Jackson, Brett Ledbetter, Caleb Ledbetter, Caleb Marr, Kenyon Moore, Colton Mayes, Ryan Ropp and Jackson Toney. Rusty Putnam is the manager and

coaches are Andy Leigh and David Gamble. The 13-15 year old Dixie Boys will begin play July 13 in Brunswick County. The winner there will also advance to the World Series.

By JIM MILLER Editor

How to Make the Most of Your Doctor’s Visit Dear Savvy Senior, I manage a large health clinic that treats thousands of seniors each year, and we’ve have found that patients that come prepared when they visit our doctors are much more satisﬁed with the care they receive. Can you write a column educating patients on how to prepare for doctor’s appointments? Healthcare Helper Dear Helper, There’s no doubt about it. Studies have shown that patients who help their doctors by providing important health information and preparing themselves for appointments tend to get better care than patients who don’t. Here are some simple things we can all do to help maximize our next visit to the doctor. Before Appointments Gathering your health information and getting organized before your appointment are the key steps to ensuring a productive meeting with your doctor. This is especially important if you’re seeing multiple doctors or are meeting with a new physician. Speciﬁcally, you need to:

Get your test results: If you’re seeing a new doctor for the first time, make sure he or she has copies of your latest X-ray, MRI or any other test or lab results you’ve recently had, including reports from other doctors that you’ve seen. In most cases, you’ll need to do the leg work yourself which may only require a phone call to your previous doctor asking them to send it, or you may need to go pick it up and take it yourself. List your medications: Make a list of all the medications you’re taking including prescription and over-thecounter drugs, supplements and herbs, along with the dosages and take it with you to your appointment. Or, just put all your pill bottles in a bag so you can take them with you. Know your health history: Being able to talk to your doctor about any previous medical problems and procedures, even if they’re not the reason you are going to the doctor this time, can make an office visit much more efficient. Write it down if it’s complicated. Genetics

matter too, so knowing your family’s health history can also be helpful. Prepare a list of questions: Make a written list of the top three or four issues you want to discuss with your doctor. Since most appointments last around 15 to 20 minutes, this can help you stay on track and ensure you address your most pressing concerns ﬁrst. If you’re in for a diagnostic visit, you should prepare a detailed description of your symptoms.

Also consider taking some notes or ask the doctor if you can record the session for later review. If you don’t understand what the doctor is telling you, ask him or her to explain it in simple terms so you can understand. And if you run out of time and don’t get your questions answered, ask if you can follow up by phone or email, make another appointment, or seek help from the doctor’s nurse.

During Appointments The best advice when you meet with your doctor is to speak up and get to the point. So right away, concisely explain why you’re there. Don’t wait to be asked. Be direct, honest and as speciﬁc when recounting your symptoms or expressing your concerns. Many patients are reluctant or embarrassed to talk about their symptoms, which makes the doctor’s job a lot harder to do. It’s also a good idea to bringing along a family member or friend to your appointment. They can help you ask questions, listen to what the doctor is telling you and give you support.

For more information, the National Institute on Aging offers an excellent booklet called “Talking With Your Doctor: A Guide for Older People” that can help you prepare for an appointment and become a more informed patient. To get a free copy mailed to you, call 800-222-2225 or visit order.nia. nih.gov. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Follow the city's permanent conservation measures on when to water your lawn. Mandatory watering times are in the morning and evening for both in-ground and hose-end sprinkler systems. Watering at these times, when the evaporation times are low, are the most efficient times to water even if you are watering by hand. • Replace water intensive grasses in the spring or fall with a drought tolerant variety. Combine this with letting your grass grow 3-5 inches before mowing and watering your lawn for longer periods and less frequently will stimulate the roots to grow deeper-maximizing water retention. • Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street. • Avoid planting turf in areas that are hard to water, such as steep inclines and isolated strips along sidewalks and driveways. • Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower • Minimize evaporation by watering during the early morning hours, when temperatures are cooler, and winds are lighter. • Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year. • Divide your watering cycle into shorter periods to reduce runoff and allow for better absorption every time you water. • Only water your lawn when needed. You can tell this by simply walking across your lawn. If you leave footprints, it's time to water. • Use the sprinkler for larger areas of grass. Water small patches by hand to avoid waste. • Water your summer lawns once every three days and your winter lawn once every five days. • Install a rain shut-off device on your automatic sprinklers to eliminate unnecessary watering. • Choose a water-efficient drip irrigation system for trees, shrubs and flowers. Watering at the roots is very effective, be careful not to over water. • Reduce the amount of grass in your yard by planting shrubs, and ground cover with rock and granite mulching. • Remember to check

your sprinkler system valves periodically for leaks and keep the heads in good shape. • Don't water your lawn on windy days. After all, sidewalks and driveways don't need water. • Water your plants deeply but less frequently to create healthier and stronger landscapes. • When watering grass on steep slopes, use a soaker hose to prevent wasteful runoff. • Group plants with the same watering needs together to get the most out of your watering time. • Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light, and water. • While fertilizers promote plant growth, they also increase water consumption. Apply the minimum amount of fertilizer needed. • Buy a rain gauge to track how much rain or irrigation your yard receives. Check with your local water agency to see how much rain is needed to skip an irrigation cycle. • Teach your family how to shut off your automatic watering systems. Turn sprinklers off if the system is malfunctioning or when a storm is approaching. • Set a kitchen timer when watering your lawn or garden with a hose. • Use sprinklers that throw big drops of water close to the ground. Smaller drops of water and mist often evaporate before they hit the ground. • More plants die from over-watering than from under-watering. Be sure only to water plants when necessary. • Adjust your watering schedule to the season. Water your summer lawn every third day and your winter lawn every fifth day. • Water only as rapidly as the soil can absorb the water. • Place an empty tuna can on your lawn to catch and measure the water output of your sprinklers. For lawn watering advice, contact your local conservation office. • For hanging baskets, planters and pots, place ice cubes under the moss or dirt to give your plants a cool drink of water and help eliminate water overflow.

Scenes from July 4th RED, WHITE & BOOM Photos by GARY SMART

Letter To Editor We are brand new homeowners in Kings Mountain...moving here in the middle of June from Austin, Texas. We decided to go to the Revolutionary 4th to see how Kings Mountain celebrated Independence Day. We were very impressed by the community, the event and the celebration. Although there were some audio issues, the fireworks were spectacular and close! It lasted over 17 minutes and definitely delivered. We were also very touched and pleased that veterans were honored with the bag pipes. And on that note, we really appreciated the DJ, his words, and him hosting the event. We are now very proud citizens of this great city and very happy we made the move from Texas!” William and Melissa Harris 100 Jason Drive Kings Mountain, NC 28086

Community Swimming Pool July 4th Celebration Bessemer City Parks & Recreation Department would like to congratulate all winners and thank participants who attended the 2018 July 4th Celebration at the City Swimming Pool. Without Bessemer City participants this annual event would not be possible. For additional photos, more information about the Bessemer City Parks & Recreation Department mission, or future events please visit www. bessemercity.com or call (704) 629 – 5111.

Bessemer City Police Department Project “Pool Pass”

Bessemer City PD Project “Pool Pass”

The Bessemer City Police Department is now offering youth 16 and under a unique opportunity to earn a FREE fun day in the sun with project “Pool Pass”! This new project is funded by the United States Department of Justice COPS grant and is exclusive to local Bessemer City youth. Project “Pool Pass” is a program designed to encourage our youth to get involved through community service and ran-

dom acts of kindness. Pool passes will be given to children who complete random acts of kindness or community service by picking up trash, helping a neighbor do yard work, helping an elderly person take in groceries, etc. Each pool pass will be redeemable for one day admission at Bessemer City Swimming Pool, and must be used by he end of the Pool 2018 Season. Recommend a child today!

Plan to attend our monthly 2018 Sounds of Summer Community Concert & Cruise- In Saturday, July 28th, hosted by Bessemer City's Parks & Recreation Department. The night will feature groovy tunes from "The Catalinas". The Catalinas began in 1957 and celebrated their 60th Anniversary in 2017! The bands popularity is based primarily in southeastern US, however, The Catalinas music is played on radio stations in the UK, Greece and Australia to name a few. Known for their quality, tight sound and energy onstage, they are one of the "in demand" groups for city festivals and private parties, always playing a variety of music that suits all ages. Though known for Beach Music, regionally and nationally for the mega hit "Summertime's Callin' Me", they play all styles to a high standard of excellence. "Summertime's Callin' Me" has become the anthem of North and South Carolina beach goers as they struggle through the

winter waiting on summer to arrive. So don't forget to join us at 6:00 PM in downtown Centennial Park (114 W. Virginia Avenue) for good music, classic cars, and family fun! Visit us at http://bessemercity.com/ explore/2018soundsofsummer/ or facebook.com/ BessemerCity for additional 2018 Sounds of Summer Concert & Cruise-In Series information.

4th Annual Somethin’ Pumpkin Cooking & Decorating Contest Somethin’ Pumpkin (SP) is a cooking contest, pumpkin decorating contest, and festival designed by NC Cooperative Extension as part of Cotton Ginning Days. From growing and cooking with pumpkin, festival activities encourage families to connect with local agriculture and community resources. The contest includes six categories (main dish, desserts, miscellaneous, home grown, youth: ages 8-12, and youth: ages 13-18). Entries are judged and displayed as part of Cotton Ginning Days. Cash prizes are awarded for first, second, and third place in each category, as well as a grand prize winner. Youth activities are also provided, such as pumpkin decorating and face painting. Over the past several years, Somethin’ Pumpkin has become a family-centered event

which carries on not only the skill of cooking, but also the enjoyment of preparing food with family and friends! So plan to join the cooking contest and represent Bessemer City Saturday, October 13th at the Citizens Resource Center in Dallas, NC at 8:00AM! For more information and registration form visit https:// bessemercity.com/4th-annual-somethin-pumpkin-cooking-contest-festival/.
