Kiamesha Young buys McGill’s Service Station

By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain native Kiamesha Young is buying McGill’s Service Station at 100 E. King Street in Kings Mountain. The building was constructed in 1924 by Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and the McGill family ran the service station from 1926 to 1992. The McGill’s were well-known for their commitment to service, drawing loyal customers to their business for 66 years.

At the June 30 Kings Mountain City Council meeting, property owner Joe Champion introduced Young as the new buyer and asked

them to delay the Order to Repair or Demolish the building to allow her time for due diligence.

Young currently lives in Charlotte and has a degree in mathematics from UNC-Charlotte. She taught middle and high school math before entering into the real estate business. She has been in business in for 15-years and is no stranger to hard work. “I am very hands-on. My whole family is from Kings Mountain and we are hard workers,” she said. “That work ethic was instilled in us by our grandfather, Leroy Young. He laid See YOUNG, Page 8

The Herald reported on actions taken during the May 26 City Council Meeting in the June 3 edition of the Kings Mountain Herald, sharing the discussion of councilmembers who described two parcels of land as being gifted to the city. The Herald has since learned the land had instead been purchased by the city in September 2015.

On May 26, 2020, City of Kings Mountain held a Public Hearing before the annexation of two parcels of city-owned land located near Dixon School Road and across from the planned casino, being described as “New Lot 1,” consisting of .71 acres and “New Lot 2,” consisting of 17.11 acres as shown on a plat recorded in Plat Book 38 at Page 59 of the Cleveland County Registry.

Discussion by councilmembers followed, and Councilman Jimmy West asked, “How did we acquire the property and how long

Photo by Loretta Cozart have we had it?” City Planner Stuart Gilbert replied, “We acquired it on September 1, 2015.”

Councilman Jay Rhodes added saying, “Albemarle (Rockwood Lithium) gave us a large portion of it. And a family gave us the other small lot.” Mayor Neisler added, “We got it so we could provide power to the NTE (Energy Center) project.”

However, the property was not gifted to the city as described by city council.

The two properties were purchased by City of Kings Mountain for a total of $119,723.25 as noted in the July 28, 2015 City Council Agenda.

Item I of that agenda reads, “Authorize Mayor to execute documents purchasing 0.71 acres of the tract of land owned by PMC Hold-

ings, Inc., DB 1473 P. 777, in the amount of $50,000 plus closing costs and 17.11 acres of the tract of land owned by Rockwood Lithium, Inc., subsidiary of Albemarle Corporation; DB 1636 P. 19, in the amount of $69,723.25 plus closing costs for the purpose of utility infrastructure to and from the NTE Energy Center.”

By Loretta Cozart T h e Cleveland County Potato Project (CCPP) desperately needs help weeding their field DOUG SHARP at Washburn Switch Road in Shelby, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. The site is across the road from NEG, formerly PPG. Doug and his volunteers will be there at 9 am.

Recently, Doug Sharp has found it was easier to get potatoes from Washington State delivered to Cleveland County than getting people to weed in their potato fields.

This year, no Christian campers are coming to the county due to the Coronavirus. Sharp shared, “For the past few years, a gentleman

from Alabama brought school kids to Cleveland County for three weeks. They all came to our fields and worked on weed control. Another group from Vorhees, NJ has been here for the last several years and they always have a lot of hard working youth and chaperons. No one is coming this year.”

“Some of you may be too young to remember the days when neighbors helped neighbors with big projects such as raising a barn or a corn shucking,” he said. “People got together to get a job done that would have no return for the volunteers. That’s sort of like the Cleveland County Potato Project. Those folks removing weeds for the next few weeks will not get the potatoes. But neighbors will. Something we do in July and August can help feed someone in November.”

If you can’t spare time during the week to help out, Sharp suggests, “A civic club,

service club, business, Sunday School Class, bunch of buddies, male or female, could meet on a Saturday morning and work for an hour and then share breakfast for an hour. Each group can use its own imagination regarding breakfast: covered dish, Bojangles, grill on site, food flown in from NY, whatever?”

Doug adds, “Social distancing is easy. You can stay 50yards apart if you like.”

If you are unable to weed and still want to help, CCPP can seek hired help with a $10 per hour donation for the number of hours someone would work if they were able. Donations may be made to CCPP, 107 Quail Hollow Dr, Kings Mtn, NC, 28086.

If your or your group are interested in helping, let Doug know by emailing dwsharp428@aol.com.

Executive order causes hard times for municipal utilities in NC In a press release last week, State Treasurer Dale Folwell, CPA, shared that he has sounded alarms for more than a month about the fiscal damage the executive orders have done to the citizen-owned utilities, especially in rural eastern North Carolina. He brought a resolution before members at a Council of State meeting on July 7 asking the governor to exclude municipal utilities from his executive orders.

Governor Cooper’s Executive Order 142 allowed customers of electric, natural gas, sanitation and water and sewer systems to delay payments for four months and granted them six months after that to pay their arrearages. The executive order prohibited utilities from disconnecting customers for nonpayment. Those orders end on July 31.

With revenue plummeting, some municipal utilities in NC have said they are facing potential insolvency without prompt relief. If a utility becomes insolvent the NC Department of

State Treasurer’s (DST) Local Government Commission would have to take control of the entity from the municipal owner.

During the June 11 Kings Mountain Budget Meeting, Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks acknowledged that many state municipal utilities were suffering as a result of the executive order, allowing for extended windows to pay utility fees.

Hendricks shared, “During the Governor’s executive order, City of Kings Mountain lost 2.8% in electric services, or $350,000. Natural Gas revenues decreased by 12%, or $500,000.

Those numbers could reach $1.5 million by the end of July.

However, due to the decrease in demand due to COVID-19 and a warm winter, the city also didn’t have to pay as much for the utilities to pass on to customers. In all, Hendricks estimates the actual revenue lost to be approximately $620,000.”

“As of June 10, 232 utility accounts are behind in payments in the amount of $126,924 in-

cluding electric, gas, water, and lake fees.”

“The situation is not as bad as it could have been, but better than most,” Hendricks said.

“Warm weather and shutdowns gave us a double whammy. The water department is suffering, as well. But, it’s okay for the shortterm.”

“Once the order sunsets (ends), customers who are behind will have to pay their regular monthly bill plus what is owed. The executive order allows us to stretch the back payments across six months,” Hendricks said. “You add those two amounts together to determine the monthly amount owed and some folks will be facing an uphill battle,” “We are willing to work with people. But it could take eight to nine months for some to repay what they owe,´ he said.

“We have to educate, promote, and encourage customers to pay as much as possible now (toward their utility bills). We need to come to a good strategic plan and prepare.”

In the last three weeks, the COVID-19 numbers in Cleveland County have increased dramatically, following the same curve seen statewide. While the numbers are lower in our area than other places in the state, the steady percentage increase is alarming and mirrors those of other communities.

On June 15, Kings Mountain had 25 cases of COVID-19. By July 1, Kings Mountain had 46 cases. Nine days later those cases have more than doubled again to 102. If this rate continues, the city could see 200 cases before

With July 4 holiday, people socialized in larger groups. Some gathered in smaller groups of bubble friends, trusted-friends who agree take precautions to stay safe, allowing the two families or groups to socialize.

Even with these measures, people continue to become ill. Because the incubation period can take from two days to 14-days, we may not see the impact socializing over the July 4 holiday had on Coronavirus cases for another week.

Dr. Gangoo, Kings Mountain’s Internist who specializes in infectious diseases warns, “People don’t comprehend the danger because they cannot see the virus. So, it is easy to for-

get about it. I advise all patients to safeguard themselves. The virus does not care if you are young, old, male, female, rich, or poor. It is seeking a host.”

“It could take years for a vaccine to be found, so it is up to you to protect yourselves and your loved ones, especially the elderly whose immune systems aren’t so good,” he warns. “Add to that issues with the heart, lungs, or cardiovascular system and you have a much bigger challenge. Even younger people with these issues are at much higher risk.”

“Don’t fool yourself; everyone is vulnerable to this virus. Wash your hands, social distance, wear a mask, and take all necessary measures to stay as safe as you can from the Coronavirus,” he said.

I knew the town had several theaters over the years, but I learned of a new one this week. The first movie theater was on Battleground Avenue, then known as Railroad Avenue on the East side

of the tracks. The road was renamed Battleground Avenue later on.

Viewing the 1908 Sanborn Map, The Opera House was located on the second floor above a Hand Printing Shop; the town’s Armory was located next door. It was just north of the Gold Street railroad crossing.

I just learned that the next theater was called Pastime Movies and was located near, or perhaps in the same building that later became the Imperial Theater on East Mountain Street. As indicated on

the 1919 Sanborn Map, the theater had lights, electric, and heat stoves.

The Imperial Theater was owned by a businessman in Shelby and the Cash brothers ran the establishment and it was likely in business after 1920. By 1935, the brothers operated the Dixie Theater in a building owned by the Plonk family at 216 Railroad Avenue. The Cash brothers bought the fixtures and seating for that theater.

They played movies and, during the ‘20s and ‘30s, hosted Loretta Lynn and

countless road musicians on their circuit tours.

Next, the Cash brothers expanded their theater empire adding the Victory Theater in Cramerton in 1943, and the Gaston and Holly theaters in Mt. Holly the following year.

With those, the Cash brothers owned four theaters.

On June 1, 1949, David and Charlie Cash opened their fifth theater, the Joy Theater, in downtown Kings Mountain.

As was customary in the time, the newspaper grew from six to 20 pages that

week, filled with ads welcoming the new business.

The Joy Theater had the most modern equipment and seated 772 patrons.

The seats were made of padded leather.

When the theater was bought by a church in the late 1970’s or early ‘80s, there was no theater in town for over 30 years until the Joy Performance Theater opened. It is now a performance venue and shows films from time to time. But the experience of catching a movie at the local theater on a Friday or Saturday night is now

gone from downtown Kings Mountain.

With the Dixie property still available, one hopes a visionary with a passion to create a draw in downtown Kings Mountain might reclaim the old building for a theater or live entertainment space. We are witnessing a lot of growth in town of late and it won’t be long until that large space has a new lease on life. One can only imagine what the future might bring for the old theater, and our town.

Looking Back Life is a puzzle

By Loretta Cozart In the early days of Kings Mountain, many businesses celebrated each other’s accomplishments by running ads in the paper. Many of the business contracted to help build or remodel the project were the ones who, with ads, thanked the business for the opportunity to serve them.

Others were often suppliers.

From these ads, we can learn a lot about the work done 81 years ago at McGill’s Service Station. When it opened in 1924, this was a one room station as pictured in last week’s Herald.

Searching the archives, I

found an ad in 1939 congratulating the station on its expansion.

At the top, the ad reads, “Completely Remodeled and Enlarged. McGill’s Esso Service. Now Ready to Better Serve Motorists of Kings Mountain and Community. Specializing in Washing, Polishing, Friendly Service, Clean Restrooms. Try our service, you’ll like it. Signed N. F. McGill, Manager.

For each purchase of 10 gallons of gasoline, on Saturday only, McGill’s gave customer a choice of a free 25 cent can of Esso Handy Oil or Esso Lighter Fluid.

From the ads on the page, we can also learn which businesses pro-

vided materials and labor: J. R. Waddell of Charlotte, contractor; Hardin and Cash, plumbing; Phifer Hardware, materials; L.A. Hoke; electrical contractor; Bridges Hardware, materials; Gastonia Coca-Cola Bottling Company, supplier; I.G. Patterson, distributor of Esso products including Atlas tires, tubes, batteries, and accessories; Elmer Lumber Company provided all the lumber and building materials for the building; Kings Mountain Tin Shop provided the roof and all the metalwork, W. A. Childers proprioter.

Surprisingly, the roof looks like tile, but is actually made of tin.

The 1943 train wreck that still haunts Some North Carolina old-timers still talk about the disastrous 1943 train wreck south of D.G. MARTIN Fayetteville.

It killed 74 people, including the father of one of the central characters of beloved author Jill McCorkle’s new novel, “Hieroglyphics.”

McCorkle, who grew up in nearby Lumberton, says she remembers her dad talking about visiting the site right after the crash and seeing all the scattered debris.

The late Joe Oxendine, who was featured in my recent column dealing with Indian sports nicknames, told me that he and other boys from Pembroke drove over to see the wreck and

collect some of the stunning remnants scattered over the site.

McCorkle lived in Boston for a number of years. There she heard about a 1942 nightclub fire that took more than 492 lives, including the mother of another character in “Hieroglyphics.”

When Lil, whose mother died in the fire, and Frank, whose father died in the train wreck, first met, they discovered their common bond, a bond that held them through 60 years of marriage.

As the story begins, they have retired to Southern Pines, which, coincidently, is not far from the site of the tragic train wreck.

Close by the wreck site is the modest home where Frank lived for several years after his dad’s death.

Frank and Lil have driven to the old house, now occupied by Shelley,

a single mother, and her young son, Harvey.

Shelley has seen Frank driving by before and is nervous. “It doesn’t help that that old man rides by so often now, his green Toyota slowing in front of the house and then circling the block.”

When Shelley meets Frank at the door, he explains, “I grew up here. I would love to see inside if convenient. My wife, too.”

Shelley resists, but at the end of the book Frank is in the backyard of the old house finding some closure.

In the 300 pages between its opening and closing at the old house, McCorkle takes us deep into the lives of the characters we met on the first pages: Frank, Lil, Shelley, and Harvey.

Frank carries the consequences of the train wreck throughout his life. Both his

father and mother were on the train, coming from Florida to their home in Massachusetts, where Frank and his grandmother waited for them. Frank’s seriously injured mother remained in North Carolina to recuperate. She was sure she heard Frank’s father calling, “Don’t leave me.” So she stayed and ultimately married a local man.

She and Frank lived in his house, and Frank grew up there. Ultimately, he went to college and graduate school, married Lil and became a college professor specializing in ancient history and archeological relics. Along the railroad tracks he collected relics

Shelley’s son, Harvey, is a collector of horror stories about the Beast of Bladenboro, the Glencoe Munchkins, and other scary tales that kept him awake at night and he used to frighten his schoolmates.

That McCorkle builds these complex characters together into a complex, layered, and gripping novel is just another example of her great storytelling genius.

Lil cannot get over the loss of her mother, a ballroom dance instructor, who had not told her husband and Lil that she was going to the nightclub. The questions of who her mother was with and why still haunted her as an adult.

She is also a collector. McCorkle uses Lil’s collected newspaper clippings and copious notes to help tell a story that include her agonizing experience of Frank’s misadventures with a younger academic.

A Good Fight in faith amid a worldly system that is antichrist and denounces biblical principles.

(Part 2 of the “Power of Faith” series) “Dear Lord, so far I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, haven’t lost my temper, haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I’m really glad about that. But in a few minutes God, DANYALE PATTERSON I’m going to get out of bed. And from then on, I’m going to need a lot more help!”

(Anonymous) Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not easy. In fact, it requires a fight. The moment we get out of bed and put our feet on the floor, we have to decide whether or not we walk in victory or defeat, walk in faith or fear, disobedience or obedience. It is a daily struggle of putting our fleshly sinful nature in check and making it submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Also, we must take authority over demonic forces that come against us, our families, and our communities. Lastly, we must stand boldly

POSITION OF VICTORY The good news is we operate from a position of victory! Jesus did the hard work of defeating the devil. He finished everything that would be needed for us to be triumphant. Also, he gave us access to the throne of grace, to receive what we need to be able to hold our ground and enforce the victory that already belongs to us. “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” Colossians 2:15 WEAPONS AND STRATEGIES In addition, in God’s kingdom, there are weapons to assist us in walking in victory. Through studying the Word, praying, and getting quiet before the Lord, the Holy Spirit will download the strategies we need. According to 2 Corinthians 10:4, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine

Page 5 power to demolish strongholds.”

We are not powerless in Christ but must preserve in the faith. Apostle Paul exhorts in I Timothy 6:12 saying, “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord, I exalt your holy and magnificent name. You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. You are all-powerful. I stand in awe of who you are. Thank you for your sacrifice on the cross so that I could be saved, healed, and whole. Remind me to reject opposing thoughts that are against your truth found in the Bible. Give me a desire to study, love, and apply your Word to my life.

Help me to live by faith and fight the good fight of faith by trusting in you, yielding to the Holy Spirit, and obeying your Word. In Jesus’ name - Amen.”

GIFT From Page 1 According to Cleveland County GIS, the 17.11 acres of land, identified as Parcel 63027, was sold to City of Kings Mountain by Rockwood Lithium for $69,723.25 plus closing costs. The current land value is listed as $188,210. The second lot, Parcel 62997, was sold to the City of Kings Mountain by Pyramid Motor Company, Inc. for $50,000 plus closing costs and the current land value is $4,259.00.

The Herald called City Attorney Mickey Corry to discuss the gifted land. Atty.

Corry, in turn, had Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks call the Herald. When told that the city had not been gifted the land as described during in the May city council meeting, Hendricks replied, “Let me explain to you how

the process works. We needed a 100-foot easement to supply NTE water, electric, and gas when they built their plant.

So, we went to Rockwell Lithium to get the easement and they wouldn’t sell it to us unless we purchased the entire parcel.”

He went on to say, “To service NTE, we had to put in the infrastructure that cost the city a lot of money. Monthly, every 30-days, the city bills NTE for the infrastructure and utilities. In that invoice they also pay us for the land we purchased, essentially making it a gift because we considered ourselves gifted to have received it.”

Henricks also explained that the land is filled with 100-foot drop-offs and the city considers the land of no value. When asked, “If that is the case, why did the city bother annexing the land into the city last month?," he re-

plied, “I don’t know. That is a question for City Manager Marilyn Sellers or Mayor Neisler. I can’t answer that.”

One month after annexing the property, during the June 30 city council meeting, councilmembers approved “a Motion adopt a Resolution to receive an Offer to Purchase in the amount of $150,000 from E-5 Holdings, LLC (Eddie Holbrook, David Brown, and Stuart LeGrand) for property consisting of 17 acres, more or less, and being located on Dixon School Road and authorize advertisement for upset bid process.” The land was neither identified by a street address nor a parcel number. Without discussion, council approved the motion.

When the Herald asked Hendricks, “Is the land that you discussed in item 15 on the June 30 agenda the same 17.11 acres purchased in 2015?,” Hendricks re-

plied, “It is one and the same, but the city is keeping a 100foot easement to NTE.” When queried why the property wasn’t identified by address and parcel number as it should have been,” he replied, “It must have been an oversight by the City Clerk. You can call and ask her.”

Legally, City of Kings Mountain purchased 17.11 acres of land in 2015. It was not a gift. On May 28, the city annexed that property into its corporate limits. One month later, city council approved authorizing advertisement for upset bid process for this same property without discussion, at the urging of E5 Holdings.

And, now, because the city annexed that property, the city is legally required by state law to provide all the utilities and services to that property that it provides to all owners within their corporate limits.

Cyber safety is important People rely on the internet every day. In recent months, reliance on digital technology was pushed even further as social distancing measures had the world going online for school and work and to maintain relationships with friends and family.

Students must exercise caution when spending time online. Connectivity can be empowering, but it also puts students at risk from others and even their own, sometimes irresponsible behaviors. Staying safe online should remain a priority for students who must spend more time on the internet and using digital education tools. These are some tips for maintaining cyber safety.

• Exercise caution when sharing information like your name, address, phone number, and other personal data online. Check with a trusted parent or teacher before sharing private data.

• Report any online activity that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared or confused, whether it is directed at you or a classmate.

• Think carefully before you post comments online. Data remains online indefinitely, and

• Respect others online by refraining from demeaning or bullying comments.

• Do not try to get around firewalls and blocked websites set up by school administrators. These limitations are there for your protection.

• Stick to school-sanctioned assignments and internet browsing when using school-issued devices.

Administrators may have the right to monitor student activity without students’ knowledge and you can easily get yourself in trouble.

• It is easy to hide or fake one’s identity on the internet, so never take someone you meet or speak with online at face value. Never meet up with someone you do not know or only met online.

• Talk to your parents or educators about extortion and ransomware that tries to trick you into providing payment in some shape or form to prevent a perpetrator from releasing private information about you, advises the Readiness and Emergency for Schools Technical Assistance Center.

From Page 1 The performance standards set the benchmarks for measuring an individual Main Street community’s application of the Main Street Four Point Approach to commercial district revitalization. Evaluation criteria determine the communities that are building comprehensive and sustainable revitalization efforts and include standards such as fostering strong public-private partnerships, securing an operating budget, tracking programmatic progress and actively preserving historic buildings.

“Earning Accreditation for our Main Street program makes the City of Kings Mountain even more attractive for residential and business development,” said City of Kings Mountain’s Community Planning and Economic

Development Director Stuart Gilbert. “The City was recently named as the Healthiest Housing Market in the country and these types of distinctions are important to families, businesses and investors.”

“The NC Main Street & Rural Planning Center is proud of this year’s accredited communities,” said Liz Parham, Director of the NC Main Street & Rural Planning Center. “These communities have worked hard to build sustainable organizations, which are able to create vibrant downtowns that can pivot quickly during a crisis like COVID19. We commend these communities and their volunteers on these accomplishments and look forward to seeing their continued success.”

“This is another great honor for the City of Kings Mountain,” said Mayor Scott Neisler. “First, SmartAsset. com, a web-based financial

technology firm, named Kings Mountain as the Healthiest Housing Market in the United States,” Mayor Neisler added.

“Now, Main Street America has recognized our downtown revitalization efforts as one of the top 48 in the state,” Since 1980, The North Carolina Main Street program has generated $3.25 billion in private and public investment. In 2019, North Carolina Main Street downtown districts generated 345 net new businesses, 148 expansions of existing businesses, 2,211 net new jobs, 378 façade rehabilitations, 297 building rehabilitations, and logged more than 150,000 volunteer hours.

The success of the Downtown District is a partnership requiring strategic planning and financial investment from both the public and private sectors.

“The leadership of the City of Kings Mountain and

the dedicated property and business owners in Downtown Kings Mountain have worked hard to create the type of positive changes that brought forth the National Main Street America Accreditation,” said Main Street Coordinator Susan Matheson. “Being an Accredited Main Street community is an honor to achieve and we appreciate everyone who has helped us to reach this milestone.”

The City of Kings Mountain has been intentional in creating appropriate improvements that maintain the historic integrity of our downtown structures such as the building restorations along South Battleground Avenue and those currently underway on West Mountain Street.

The City’s strategic planning helped guide the development of new amenities such as the Amphitheater and updated Streetscape along Cansler

“We are proud to recognize this year’s Nationally Accredited Main Street America programs that have dedicated themselves to strengthening their communities,” said Patrice Frey, President & CEO of the National Main Street Center. “These Accredited Main Street programs have proven to be powerful engines for revitalization by sparking impressive economic returns and preserving the character of their communities. During these challenging times, these Main Street programs will be key to bringing economic vitality back to commercial districts and improving quality of life during the recovery process.”

Main Street America has been helping revitalize older and historic commercial districts for 40 years. Today, it is a network of more than 1,600 neighborhoods and commu-

nities, rural and urban, who share both a commitment to place and to building stronger communities through preservation-based economic development.

Swim guide results for Buffalo YMCA pool now open for members and non-members Creek and Broad River Is it safe to swim in Buffalo Creek and Broad River? The answer to that question is yes and no.

Each Thursday evening throughout the spring, summer and fall, the Broad Riverkeeper releases new, up-to-date bacteria monitoring results for six monitoring sites at public access points within the Broad River Basin.

Results are posted to the Swim Guide website at theswimguide.org – the public’s best resource for knowing which streams and river recreation areas are safe to swim in, and which have failed to meet safe water quality standards for bacteria pollution.

The Swim Guide lists each testing site as either passing or failing according to the EPA limit for E. coli in recreational waters of 235 cfu (or colony forming units) per 100 milliliters.

The results from testing on Wednesday, July 8, showed clean levels well under the EPA standard for health at these sites: • Moss Lake at New Camp Creek • Lake Lure Swim Beach • Rocky Broad at Matthews Overlook • Rocky Broad at Riverside Park, Chimney Rock The sites that did not pass the EPA’s limit are as follows: • Buffalo Creek at Kadesh Ch Rd • First Broad at Grover Street • Broad River Greenway • Broad River at Coxe Rd • First Broad at Double Shoals Samples are collected on Wednesdays, processed using the Idexx system, incubated for 24 hours, and results are analyzed and posted on Thursday evening. Results are available on the Swim Guide website (theswimguide.org) or on the smartphone app, available for Android and Apple iPhones.

E.coli bacteria makes its

way into our rivers and streams from sewer/septic leaks and stormwater runoff – especially runoff from animal agricultural operations with substandard riparian buffers. E.coli can also indicate the presence of other, more harmful microbes, such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Shigella, and norovirus. Heavy rains and storms often result in spikes in E.coli contamination, increasing the risk to human health. Contact with or consumption of contaminated water can cause gastrointestinal illness, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic, and wound infections. The most commonly reported symptoms are stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever.

In general, waterways that are located in more remote areas or near protected public lands that lack a lot of agriculture, development or industrial pollution sources are the cleanest and will be less affected by stormwater runoff. Areas closer to development and polluting agricultural practices are much more heavily impacted.

We ask that families limit their pool visit to 2 hours to accommodate capacity guidelines.

Please note that we will not have any chairs or picnic tables available. Be sure to bring your own chair!

Also, you will need to bring your own US Coast Guard approved life jackets and puddle jumpers. We have lifeguards on duty to ensure a fun and safe time.

Y sports camps begin in July The Kings Mountain Family YMCA announced they will provide sports camp this summer. Camps will be constructed and programmed to maintain social distancing, capacity regulations and best safety practices.

Each camp has a capacity of 18 participants, with the exception of Dance Camp that has a capacity of 9 participants. Camp is for ages 7 – 12 years old. Register online at CleveCoYMCA.org or contact Michael Peeler at MPeeler@CleveCoYMCA.org. for pricing.

Young explained that she is transitioning into the contractor’s side from the real estate industry in this project. “I have a vision for the property and have a building contractor’s license, so I have the resources to make sure the work gets done, and done well,” she said. “I own the Y3 Work Bar in Gaston County, so I understand the kind of hard work that is required.”

The Order to Repair or Demolish, issued by City of Kings Mountain, cited four primary issues with the building: (1) Loose and overhanging objects or leaning objects that constitute a danger of falling on persons on the premises, (2) Exterior of the

building is not in good repair or free from deterioration, (3) Broken glass, loose wood, crumbling brick and similar hazards, (4) Flaking and peeling exterior surfaces need to be scraped and repainted.

On Monday, Moon builders began repairing the brick, cornice, and windows of the Service Station. “We want to preserve the history by restoring the building to its original look on the exterior,” Young added. “The inside will definitely have a more modern feel. The two bays will most likely become conference space and a lounge area, with glass doors in the front. Features we want to keep include the wall safe and the service pits.”

Once completed, Young will move her real estate business into the building. “Right now, I am pretty much a oneman show. But my goal with this building is to provide opportunities and jobs in the city through real estate.“ Like the McGill fam-

ily, who developed a loyal customer base through hard work, Kiamesha Young intends to continue that commitment to quality service at 100 E. King Street in the heart of Kings Mountain, and she invites other entrepreneurs to bring their business to town.

“For people like me who moved away and started businesses outside of Kings Mountain, I would say that it is time for them to bring their resources and talents home.

It’s just time.” Young added, “Kings Mountain is growing and there is a place for us now. There are opportunities for us to make a difference.”

Joe Champion and Steve Wallace purchased McGill’s Service Station in 2005, along with several other properties that had once housed or distributed fuel products.

“People kept telling me that reclaiming these properties couldn’t be done. But it can!”

“People offered to help us but couldn’t come up with the money. The hardest thing for people to understand was that work had been done, but they couldn’t see it because it was below the ground.”

On December 4, 2017, NC Department of Environmental Quality, UST Division, Waste Management, Asheville Regional office issued a No Further Action determination letter for 100 E. King Street. That decision came with a deed restriction designating the site as only suitable for industrial/commercial businesses, due to groundwater contamination “exceeding residential” Maximum Soil Contaminant Concentration Levels (MSCCs) from petroleum in the ground. Left undisturbed, that petroleum poses no issue, according to state guidelines.

Don’t let a federally-indicted South Carolina

casino developer take

advantage of North Carolina.

South Carolina alrea ady rejected this casino. Now, a Soutth Carolina casino developer who haa d o n ce been in n dicted for ope e ratin n g an n illegal gambling business, an nd whose companies have left beh hind a trail of lawsuits, is trying g to imp pose this casino on us. This caasino projject is a loser for North Caarolina: • It will line de evelop pers’pockets and leave nearby communities stuck with inccreassed traffi fficc an nd law enforceme ent exp penses.

• It’s the prroduct of a shady deal that could open the e fl flo oodgaatess to more unwaanted gam ming accross the statte.

• It will siphon millions in critiical revenu ue from Norr th Carollina comm munities and send it out of statte.

Tell the Kings Mountain City Council to oppose this dangerous casino project.

A casino deal for a federally indicted developer is a losing bet.
