Candidate races set as election filing ends By Loretta Cozart
EUGENE BUMGARDNER
NCMEA inducts Gene Bumgardner into Hall of Fame As students from across the state gathered for the annual All-State Choral Festival in Charlotte on April 26-27, Eugene (Gene) Bumgardner was inducted into the North Carolina Music Educators Choral Director’s Hall of Fame. He was presented a plaque on Saturday at the closing concert. In his acceptance speech, Bumgardner shared the story of a young teenage tenor who attended a choral clinic with 2 friends in 1969, driven there by veteran choral director Mrs. J.N. McClure. They traveled the curvy country backroads to Mars Hill College to a clinic directed by the conductor of the Junaluska Singers, Dr.
Glen Draper. “From the moment he started the song (he sings) ‘Gossip gossip evil ting, much unhappiness it bring (sic). If you can't say something nice, don't talk at all is my advice,’ It was the truth and I was hooked,” he said. “Everyone who attended the clinic that year remembers the experience much the same as I do.” Dr. Draper’s love of music, and the songs sung at the choral clinic, brought out in Bumgardner a level of emotion he had never even imagined. “At that moment, I decided my life’s work. I was going to be a Clinician.
On Friday, July 19, filing for candidates closed at noon for the November election. Three new challengers filed for mayor and city council seats on the last day, including David Israel Dettloff challenging incumbent Mayor Scott Neisler, former Councilman Curtis Pressley challenging incumbent Councilman Keith Miller, and Jimmy West challenging incumbent Councilman Rodney Gordon.

ing. That interest motivates his desire to “find ways to include the children in our community.” Jimmy Ray West, and wife Pam of 318 Landry Drive, have been married for 30 years. They have one son, Tyler, who is 28 years old and is a Charlotte Mecklenburg police officer. “I am a retired police sergeant from the Gastonia Police Department,” West shared. “I retired from the police department as a Detective Sergeant in 2009 after serv-
ing 30 years, during my career I have serviced as a K-9 handler, SWAT team member, traffic enforcement officer, Juvenile Detective Patrol Sergeant, Detective Sergeant, Honor Guard Sergeant and K-9 Sergeant. “I started my career in 1980 with the Kings Mountain Police Department and served there for 10 years before leaving to go to Gastonia. I am currently employed by Gaston College as a campus police officer and I am the police depart-
ment’s training coordinator,” he said. The West family attends First Wesleyan Church in Kings Mountain and has for over 30 years. Pam is employed by the Cleveland County School System and has worked at Kings Mountain Middle School for 23 years as a data manager. West has served on the local church board and the couple has served over the church widow and widower ministry. See FILING, Page 7A

After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious and if they are going to change their lives and achieve their dreams, they have to get it now!

Harold Greene retires after 47 years of service By Sandra Jenkins On July 19, 2019, Harold Greene retired from STI after 47-years of service. He began his career on July 27, 1972 at the age of 16. Greene had made the decision to quit school, so his mother gave him one option…go to work. At that time, Kings Plush Inc. dba STI operated as K Mills producing commercial fabrics. His mother had been with the company for three years therefore she was able
to help him get a job. Greene’s first position was in Shipping. After only one day, he transferred to Weaving as a Doffer. Just three short days later he was Cleaning Looms and a Yarn Tender. Eventually, he found his home working in the Dye House and Finishing Dept. Many people were big influences in his life teaching him so much. Some of his fondest memories are not only working with people such as Bill Sellers,
Jerry Jenkins, Garry Bell and the late Glen Moss, but also spending time outside of the company with them. His co-workers allowed him to become part of their families and for that he is forever grateful. Greene met his wife, Vickie, in 1978 and they married in 1984. He said, “Vickie’s been a good wife and was a great mother to our son. I don’t know what I would have done without her.” Harold and Vickie had
one son, Josh, who passed away on June 11, 1998 at the young age of 11. When asked many times why he remained loyal to STI, his answer was always the same. “The people of STI have always been good to me, especially when we lost our son. We can never thank John Kay, Mark Hovis, Sean Gibbons, Jerry and Doris Jenkins and all the others for taking such good care of us during a very difficult time in our See GREENE, Page 7A

Court rules Voter ID can move forward in North Carolina A bipartisan three judge panel ruled in Raleigh Friday that voter ID implementation can move forward in North Carolina and dismissed all but one of the plaintiffs’ six claims in a legal challenge to legislation implementing a constitutional amendment approved by voters last Fall. Thirty-four other states have some form of voter ID law. North Carolina is the last state in the Southeast to start requiring some form of voter ID. State House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) sponsored the voter ID constitutional amendment and said its implementing law was a model for balancing election integrity with accommodations for all voters. “North Carolinians know election integrity is essential to our democratic
process and strongly supported voter ID,” Speaker Moore said. “This law accommodates all voters’ access to a secure ballot with commonsense standards already in place in most states.” The case – Holmes v. Moore – is a state court challenge brought by the Southern Coalition for Social Justice in Wake County. The court denied the plaintiffs’ requests for a preliminary injunction. North Carolina’s voter ID law allows any voter to assert a “reasonable impediment” at the polls for why they don’t have a qualifying ID. It further accommodates religious objectors, provides for free state-issued IDs, and accepts a broad range of qualifying IDs including student IDs, drivers’ licenses, passports, military and veteran
IDs, voter and state employee cards, and Native American tribal cards. S.B. 824 even allows drivers’ licenses from other states to qualify in some circumstances. Governor Roy Cooper’s vetoed the legislation Senate Bill 824 Implementation of Voter ID Const. Amendment – accusing a majority of North Carolina voters of “sinister” motives in supporting a constitutional amendment proposing voter ID and calling the people’s approval of voter ID the “cynical origins” of the law. The three-judge panel included Judge Nathaniel Poovey, of Catawba, Burke and Caldwell counties, Judge Michael O’Foghludha, of Durham and Judge Vince Rozier, of Wake County

David Willis reported a black bear in his back yard on Mountain Crest Drive off Lake Montonia Road in Kings Mountain. He was sitting on his back porch playing a game on his phone when the bear “walked out of the woods and went straight for the bird feeder. He would look up at me every now and again, but he seemed uninterested in me and went on emptying the bird feeders. “He was at least five and a half feet tall, weighing between 250 to 300 lbs. easy. He had no fear of me at all and was very comfortable with me standing there. He was very bold but not aggressive,” Willis said. “He was just eating bird seed from the feeders.” After pulling down a tree limb to get better access to the feeder, the bear left in the direction of Crowders Mountain State Park. Last week, the Herald reported a bear sighting at Lake Montonia in Joe and Sarah Rhea’s backyard. On Wednesday, Joe Rhea shared that a neighbor had seen a bear in his yard around dusk. Bears are out in search of food this time of year. Check your yards for anything that might attract them, including food, bird seed, pet food, small animals, or your grill. Minimizing odors that attract bears will help keep them away from you and your property. The National Park Service offers some advice should you encounter a bear. Bears are wild and can be dangerous. Their behavior is sometimes unpredictable. Although rare, attacks on humans have occurred, inflicting serious injuries and death. Each bear and each experience are unique; there is no single strategy that will

Following some basic guidelines may help to lessen the threat of danger. Your safety can depend on your ability to calm the bear. Some of the most important things you can do is keep your distance and do not surprise bears. Most bears will avoid humans if they hear them coming. Pay attention to your surroundings and make a special effort to be noticeable if you are in an area with known bear activity or a good food source, such as berry bushes. If you encounter a bear, identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal. Remain still; stand your ground but slowly wave your arms. Help the bear recognize you as a human. It may come closer or stand on its hind legs to get a better look or smell. A standing bear is usually curious, not threatening. Stay calm and remember that most bears do not want to attack you; they
usually just want to be left alone. Bears may bluff their way out of an encounter by charging and then turning away at the last second. Bears may also react defensively by woofing, yawning, salivating, growling, snapping their jaws, and laying their ears back. Continue to talk to the bear in low tones; this will help you stay calmer, and it won't be threatening to the bear. A scream or sudden movement may trigger an attack. Never imitate bear sounds or make a high-pitched squeal. If a small child is nearby, pick it up immediately. Make yourself look as large as possible (for example, move to higher ground) or by waving your arms slowly. Do not allow the bear access to your food. Getting your food will only encourage the bear and make the problem worse for others. If the bear is stationary, move away slowly and sideways; this allows you to keep an eye on the bear and avoid tripping. Moving sideways is also non-threatening
to bears. Do not run, but if the bear follows, stop and hold your ground. Bears can run as fast as a racehorse both uphill and down. Like dogs, they will chase fleeing animals. Do NOT climb a tree. Both grizzlies and black bears can climb trees. Leave the area or take a detour. If this is impossible, wait until the bear moves away. Always leave the bear an escape route. Be especially cautious if you see a female with cubs; never place yourself between a mother and her cub, and never attempt to approach them. The chances of an attack escalate greatly if she perceives you as a danger to her cubs. If you spot a bear, make note of the time and watch to see what attracted it to the area. Do not approach the bear and let local authorities know of the sighting. After the bear leaves, remove whatever attracted the bear to decrease the likelihood of a repeat visit.

This year’s festival features 12 North Carolina films.” The screenings for the festival will take place in the Joy Performance Center, 202 S. Railroad Ave., Kings Mountain.

BUMGARDNER From Page 1A
... Little did I know at the time, you had to have a real job before you could be a clinician. The job was called ‘Teacher,” Bumgardner said. In 1983, he was asked by Linda Torres, Burns High School choral director who was directly involved with the NCMEA at the state level, to conduct the “First ever Junior High Honor chorus,” thus helping the middle schools become an independent section of the organization. Bumgardner jumped at the opportunity. The choir met in the bottom floor of the Ramada Inn in Winston Salem to rehearse and perform during the music educators convention. There were 200 students selected through audition from across the state to sing in this first ever choir. “We rehearsed for 6-hours and presented the concert later that day. During one of the breaks from rehearsing, a little African American seventh grader walked up to me and said ‘Mr. Bumgardner, this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me,” I looked at him and said, ’me
too son, me too’.” Bumgardner expressed gratitude for many opportunities in his career to sing with great clinicians who influenced his life. He thanked Sarah Fulton, choral director of King Mountain High School Chorus, for nominating him and shared with pride that Dr. Kenney Potter, choral director at Wingate University and one of his former students, was tapped to direct the North Carolina High School Honor chorus two years ago, continuing another generation of choral music making as a clinician. Later, Potter shared, “Gene Bumgardner has been an inspiration to so many. His pursuit and drive for perfection (all-the-while showing love and care for his students) was an example for all of us. I was blessed to have had him for five years (eighth grade to twelfth grade) and I credit him for helping me discover the passion for making music and for the desire to help others discover their own abilities to create beauty in this world.” Eugene Bumgardner is a 1972 graduate of KMHS and a 1976 graduate of Gardner Webb University where he majored in music education with a concentration in voice and a minor in piano.
“Real to Reel is a competitive film festival with monetary awards presented to the winners in both the professional and amateur categories,” says Miller. The Best of Show Award will be $1,000. The professional winners will receive a $500 award, while amateur winners will receive a $250 award. The winner of the Best of North Carolina Award will receive $300. Audience members will be allowed to vote on their favorite film each night, with one winner selected at the end of the festival. Returning this year is Real to Reel Kids Fest sponsored by KidSenses Children’s Interactive Museum. “This special screening on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. will feature films made for kids and films made by kids,” says Miller. Tickets for the Kids Fest are $4 in advance and $5 at the door. Children ages 12 and under are admitted free.
He received recognition as a Distinguished Alumni of Gardner Webb University in 2006. The high school choral classroom was his home for 37 years. Thirty of those years were at his Alma Mater, Kings Mountain High School. During his career there, the group received superior ratings for 27 consecutive years. The Kings Mountain Symphonic Chorale performed the national anthem for the Atlanta Braves twice under his direction. He was awarded the Teacher of the Year Award from KMHS in 1993. Two KMHS students selected Mr. Bumgardner for the Star Teacher Award. He has served six churches as minister of music, including Boger City Methodist, Lily Baptist Church in Shelby, Pleasant Hill in Shelby, New Hope Baptist Church in Gastonia, Clover FBC and currently at Covenant Baptist in Gastonia. He is married to Becky Bumgardner, retired choral director of Forestview High School. They have three grown children; Benjamin Bumgardner, Beth Aron and Harrison Bumgardner. They also have 5 grandchildren; Atlee and Mack Bumgardner, Eleanor Aron, Sebastian and Margaret Bumgardner.

Apollo 11 a Giant Leap for Mankind By Loretta Cozart Fifty years ago today, the United States’ first historic Moon landing mission was finally, fully realized. Just as important as their accomplishment of orbiting, landing and walking on the Moon five days earlier, the crew of Apollo 11 successfully splashed down in the North Pacific Ocean at 12:49 pm EDT. The inspiring achievements in space witnesses by millions across the globe just days earlier would be greatly diminished without the safe triumphant return of the heroes who journeyed there. The crew’s safe return was not at all a certainty. Even President Nixon, who called the astronauts in space to praise their success was prepared with alternative public statements that would mourn their passing if the mission turned out badly. So, it was with a collective sigh of relief, coupled with an intense swell of joy and patriotic pride that accompanied the three astronauts as they were picked up by the USS Hornet in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii and ferried to shore.

Apollo splashdown. Photo by NASA The ramifications of that successful “Splash Down” 50 years ago would not be fully understood for quite some time. There was much to learn and much to gain from this still young and fledgling space program. We didn’t know yet what we didn’t know. Less than three minutes before re-entry, falling 34,630 feet per second, the crew and the engineers on the ground experienced problems with an onboard tape recorder that required Lunar Module Pilot Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. to make last-minute reset adjustments. Moments, later during re-entry, Mission Control lost communication with the Columbia due to radio blackout

interference for three minutes and forty-five nail-biting seconds caused by the superheated atmosphere surrounding the capsule. Upon their arrival, the Apollo 11 crew were quarantined for 21 days immediately following their return for fear of Moon “bugs” or other unknown microbe contaminants. We did not know all the answers or what future outer space exploration would bring, but on July 24, 1969, we knew one very important thing. As Commander Neil Armstrong put it, we knew we had fully completed a “Giant Leap for Mankind.” Kings Mountain Herald’s publisher and its advertisers are not responsible or liable for misprints, typographical errors, misinformation herein contained.

“The Real Inconvenient Truth” “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Gen. 1:27). Not three genders or 52 genders, not evolved from primordial ooze, or deRoger R. scended from apes. Woodard, ThD. A unique creation Senior Pastor Family Worship of Almighty God Center and God said it was “very good” (Gen. 1:31). Problem was, satan saw him too and it reminded him of God. And since he couldn’t strike at God he became determined to destroy his creation, and the war has waged ever since. What we are watching played out before our eyes is the war between good and evil and we are approaching a climactic end. Truth is, we were created to live in
this body, in fellowship with God forever. Sin made that impossible. Sin brought about the viciousness in the animal kingdom, the thorns on the rose, the murderous thoughts and actions of evil people, AND, the aging process that brings about our death. But that was never God’s plan. Adam and Eve tried covering themselves with fig leaves. Mankind has sought their own way to deal with their sin problem ever since. They reject the one and only cure for our sin problem. “I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins” (Jn. 8:24). Here is that inconvenient truth, “For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither does God respect any person; yet does he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him” (II Sam.14:14). His means is Jesus Christ; Him crucified, raised from the dead, ascended into Glory, coming again for His
saints. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). “And it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb.9:27, emphasis mine). By the way, as a side bar, those of you who believe in reincarnation, have you ever met some one who in their previous life was a gnat on a horse’s tail? No, No, always something exotic. Inconvenient truth, there is no reincarnation. This is it. It’s all you get so you better get it right! “Remember now your creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them. While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows
be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: BECAUSE MAN GOES TO HIS LONG HOME, AND THE MOURNERS GO ABOUT THE STREETS: Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. THEN SHALL THE DUST RETURN TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS: AND THE SPIRIT SHALL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT” (emphasis mine, Ecl. 12:1-7). In light of this very inconvenient truth I must say with the Psalmist (90:12), “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom”.

■ LIFESTYLES
First place $200 winner was Sara Dame Setzer for “Horse of Red Clover Hill” monoprint . Photos provided
“A Fresh Look” art competition and exhibit at SAS in Kings Mountain Provided by Jewel Reavis Southern Arts Society announced winners for “A FRESH LOOK” art competition at a public reception on Saturday night, July 20th. Artists from around the region brought their newest and best work to compete for prizes filling the galleries at Southern Arts Society with artwork. The one hundred fifty-six works of art entered include paintings in all media – oil, acrylic, pastel, along with colored pencil, mixed media, photography, fiber, ceramics and digital. There was no theme for this show, so artwork represents a wide variety of subject matter, from landscapes and pet portraits to abstracts. Artists were asked to show their most recent works taking a fresh look at the world around them; to try a new style; or a new medium; drawing ideas from their imagination, real life or events. Judging the show was Carmella Jarvi of Charlotte, NC. Jarvi is a full time artist and entrepreneur, McColl Center for Art + Innovation,Vermont Studio Center, and Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences alumna, and three-time Regional Artist Project Grant recipient. Her art has evolved from women in water paintings to abstract explorations of water through kiln glass — since a 2011 trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. She has returned to painting abstract water since spending summer 2018 at Hambidge Center AiR and, during her recent 2019 Atrium Health Artist-in-Residency at McColl Center. Jarvi had the difficult task of selecting winners from this year’s competition. She selected first, second and third place prizes along with three merit awards. Here are the winners with Jarvi’s comments. First Place went to Sara Dame Setzer for her monoprint “Horse of Red Clover Hill”. “There is something very enticing (& visceral) about this piece. Bold composition coupled with subtle details holds the gaze.” Second Place went to Lori McAdams for “Lower

3rd Place $75 winner was Ellen Devenny for “Tine Tuned” photography. Manhattan Street Scene” done in scratchboard. “Small piece, but the closer I get, the more I see. Love the color of windows & suggestion of figures.” Third Place went to Ellen Devenny for photograph “Tine Tuned”. “This strong composition intrigues me. It’s almost musical in balance of simplicity & complexity.” Merit Awards were given to Shelby Sabelli for her watercolor “Quiet”; Brenda Beard Bostian for her oil painting “Back to Shore”; and to Debbie Whitsett for her ceramic scuplture “Terra Madre”. “A FRESH LOOK” will be on display in the galleries of Southern Arts Society through August 23,

SASi offers a gift shop, ongoing exhibits and art competitions, programs and classes in a variety of media for artists of all levels. Currently on exhibit “A Fresh Look” runs through August 23, 2019.

For the tomato sauce 3 lbs. assorted large heirloom tomatoes 1 small sweet onion, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt 1⁄4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 TBSP. honey 1⁄4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips, more for garnish Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 1. To marinate the shrimp, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add the shrimp and allow to sit, covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. 2. Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal or gas grill. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. 3. To make the tomato sauce, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place one or two tomatoes at a time into the boiling water. Watch them and,
as you see the skin split, remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cool water. At this point, it will be very easy to slip off the skins. 4. Cut the peeled tomatoes into a small dice. Put the cut tomatoes into a large bowl. Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Stir gently to combine. 5. Skewer the shrimp, 3 per skewer. Grill the skewered shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are pink. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and a couple grinds of fresh pepper.
6. Just before serving, add the basil leaves to the tomato sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. 7. Ladle the tomato sauce onto a serving platter and arrange the skewers on top of the sauce. Garnish with more basil leaves and enjoy!

Sandra Jenkins, the HR Generalist/Recruiter for STI, remembers Green as one of the first people to teach her the ropes when she started in 1993. “I worked side-by-side with Harold for many years in Finishing and Shipping. Some of us were really young and we occasionally gave Harold a hard time. He tolerated us well and there was never a day that we didn’t finish well. Harold appreciated and loved us and we hope he knows that the feeling was mutual.”

Pressley is a sales representative of the North Carolina Education Lottery, coaches varsity football at Kings Mountain High School and is a basketball coach at the YMCA.

FILING From Page 1A In his filing statement, West shared, “I have always been proud to call Kings Mountain home, however over the past several years I have witnessed a decline in the overall appearance of our city. I am running for council to hopefully bring positive change to our city. It is heartbreaking when you drive down King Street which is our most busy roadway and see the houses with indoor furniture being used as the front porch decorations. “Seeing beer cans lying in the front yards and on occasion even seeing people lying in the yard along with the dilapidated old buildings. This is not the image that I want to display for our visitors and our citizens. Many of our streets are damaged to the point that you can hardly drive on them,” he said. “I do strongly feel that our current city council is doing what they want to see done and not what the people who put them in office want to see done. Our current council you only see every four years and that is when they are campaigning for office and you

Six candidates filed for four seats on the Cleveland County Water Board: Tony M. Brooks, Bill Cameron, Dewey C. Cook, Roger Costner, Bruce Martin and C.J. Pete Pedersen. Last week, the Herald inadvertently omitted a portion of former Mayor Rick Murphrey’s filing statement. Murphrey is active in the Kings Mountain community.

He told me if you have the time you should give back to your community. I have served Kings Mountain for 21 years, six years on city council, four as mayor pro tem and 15 years as mayor,” Murphrey added. “We were both honored and humbled to have our communities name a park with our name. I miss my dad, he passed away several years ago. I remember the talks about the different projects and how much pleasure it was to help people,” he said. “We talked many times how God had blessed us with the opportunity to improve the quality of life for people and to be a good role model, especially the children. Dad loved his hometown, as I do.”

Softball players needed to play tennis at KMHS The Kings Mountain High women’s tennis team is in dire need of more players. Six of the key players off last year’s team graduated in June. That leaves the Lady Mountaineers with only three returning players and of those three, two are seniors. “Women softball players have the same skill sets such as hand, eye and foot coordination as does a tennis player,” said Mountaineer tennis coach Rick Henderson. “I am a firm believer that a multi-sport player continues to develop their athleticism especially if they are playing multiple sports,” Henderson
added. “Is tennis a great for all softball players? Probably not, but one will never know if they don’t try.” Henderson is in his 12th season as head varsity coach for the KMHS women’s tennis team. His vision is that the program can and will continue to produce some of the best teams ever at KMHS. Anyone interested in playing tennis or needing more information can contact him by text message at 704-460-8066 or email Rick.Henderson2@ duke-energy.com
Practice to begin for KM girls tennis Kings Mountain High School women’s tennis practice will begin Thursday, August 1 at 6 p.m. at the Kings Mountain Middle School courts.

By Loretta Cozart Have you ever wondered what the phrase “Dog Days” of Summer means? If you are like many, you probably think the phrase references the heat of the summer and calls to mind the image of hound dogs asleep in the shade of an Oak tree in the yard of an old farmhouse. While it is a good guess, it is wrong. The phrase references the fact that, during this time of the year, the Sun occupies the same region of the sky as Sirius, the brightest star visible from any part of Earth and part of the constellation Canis Major, the Greater Dog. Sirius is also known as the Dog Star. On July 23rd, Sirius
rises and sets in conjunction with the Sun, and because the star is so bright, the ancient Romans believed it gave off heat and added to the Sun’s warmth, accounting for the long stretch of sultry weather. Their phrase for this time of year was diēs caniculārēs, or “dog days.” The term Dog Days of Summer came to mean the 20 days before and 20 days after this alignment of Sirius with the Sun—July 3 to Aug. 11. While hot summer days conjure up thoughts of lazy afternoons in the shade, nothing beats a tall glass of iced tea, with lemon or mint, to get you through these Dog Days of Summer.

The summer can be slow for bass fishermen. The water is warm and the oxygen that fish need for peak activity is not found GARY MILLER in warmer water. Therefore they tend to go deeper or become more active when the days are at their coolest. That’s why early in the morning is some of the best time to be on the lake or river. My favorite way to start is by being ready to cast my first bait when the sun is barely peeking over the horizon. One must take advantage of every minute the fish are active because in the summer those minutes are few. As many of you know, my favorite way to wake bass up this time of year is with a top water bait. The sound of this plug echoes for unknown distances at the break of day and each plop signals to the fisherman to be ready for what might be lurking just below the surface. The combination of sight and sound can at times be just too much for nearby bass to ignore. And for the fisherman, the crash of water just behind that bait can also be as addictive as well. Once you see and hear that unique moment, you will place it in its own mental compartment, and nothing will ever join it. Thankfully there are other moments that deserve their own special place. I imagine me making a file and labeling it with that moment but never adding anything else to the file except that which caused me to make it in the first place. It’s like making a folder on your computer for certain types of pictures or documents and only finding one picture or document that fits in the folder. In one way you are hoping for other occasions to add to the folder, but it seems that nothing ever fits like that first file. There are a few things like that in my life. A first degree. A first accomplishment. A first purchase. All of these things were so special to me then and still hold their own special place today. But what really matters are not fish or firsts but moments when someone wrote something or said something that caused me to change into a better man. It was a sentence that wowed me. It was a lesson that challenged me. It was a gesture that took me aback. You see while things like these may deserve a place in their own folder; unlike fish and firsts, their benefits continue not just as motivation but as actual ingredients that mold me every day. So, this week don’t forget that while you are making memories someone needs you to become a good one for them.

using sunscreen and take frequent breaks away from direct sunlight. Plan ahead. If you or members of your family have elevated health risks, or even you are just planning an outdoor activity, make advance preparations in response to a potential heat emergency. Ask your doctor if your health condition requires that you take proactive measures to prevent a heat emergency. Keep health-related supplies and equipment, such as oxygen tanks and battery backup power devices closeby and ready. Frequently check on elderly family members and your neighbors to ensure their well-being. Watch for these heat-related distress symptoms. Heat rash is an itchy, painful skin condition caused by excessive sweating and exposure to hot humid air. Dehydration and cramps indicate that you need to take in more fluids and find a place to relax and cool down. Heat exhaustion presents heavy sweating, fast or weak pulse rate, shallow breathing, and muscle soreness or cramps, tiredness or dizziness or fainting, headache, nausea or vomiting. Heatstroke is likely to occur when your body temperature rises above 104.5 degrees, producing symptoms such as red, hot and dry skin, a dry or swollen tongue, rapid pulse and rapid shallow breathing, intense thirst, headache, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, confusion, poor coordination or slurred speech, aggressive or bizarre behaviour, loss of consciousness, seizures or coma, and can cause long term health challenges. People experiencing heat exhaustion or heat stroke symptoms should request professional medical assistance immediately. Place ice packs under your arms, back of your neck and groin area to cool down as quickly as possible while help arrives.

With more than 17 days this month of July presenting weather temperatures at 90 degrees or higher, many Kings Mountain residents are faced with increased health risks due to the excessive heatwave. The typical average daily high temperature in July is around 89 degrees, but this year a succession of midto-upper 90 degree days have raised health concerns for a much broader range of people. According to TheWeatherChannel.com, body temperature changes in as little as one degree can adversely affect a person’s biochemistry, and for those with pre-existing health challenges, the higher temperature could be catastrophic. HealthDirect.gov reports that individuals with higher risk during excessively hot days innclude elderly people aged over 75-years, babies and young children. People with longterm health conditions like heart or respiratory disease, diabetes or circulatory diseases, as well as people who are obese or who are taking certain medicines, are especially impacted by hotter temperatures. The heatwave can also threaten people who are socially isolated, who work outdoors, who stay in hot i poorly ventilated areas, people engaging in vigorous physical activity in hot weather and those who are not acclimated to the heat, like overseas visitors. There are several steps you can take to protect yourself and others during a heatwave. Drink plenty of water even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol, hot and sugary drinks (including coffee and tea) which can increase your risk of dehydration. Keep your body as cool as possible by limiting your time out in the sun and wearing light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. Keep perishable food safe and refrigerated. If you venture outside, avoid sunburn by

A visit to Murray’s Mill, located near Catawba, NC makes a great day trip.
Murray's Mill is a great day trip destination Photos and story courtesy Murray’s Mill Looking for a place not that far way where you can see what folks used as technology 100 years ago? Then a day trip to Murray's Mill near Catawba, NC is in order. Murray’s Mill Historic District, in the rolling countryside of eastern Catawba County, nestles just as it was a century ago along the banks of Balls Creek. It's perfect for an afternoon picnic or a quick leg-stretcher. A placid pond slips over a mill dam, and the 28’ waterwheel of this National Register Historic Site makes its slow way 'round. Nailed to a door-frame in the general store, an old coffee can catches bottle-caps, and a porch swing awaits you out front, as does a chat with a friendly guide before beginning your tour. Preserved intact are the 1913 mill itself, the 1890s Murray & Minges General Store, the 1880s Wheathouse, used as an exhibit gallery, the 1913 John Murray House, furnished to the period, and numerous outbuildings. Run by three generations of the Murray Family who closed operations in 1967, the picturesque structures and surrounding land form the last milling complex in the county, meticulously preserved and interpreted by the Catawba County Historical Association since 1980 when restorations began. Governor James G. Martin attended the opening ceremony in 1988. Murray’s Mill STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF CLEVELAND NOTICE TO CREDITORS Having qualified on the 11th day of July, 2019 as Executrix of the Estate of CAMERON STOKES WARE, deceased of Cleveland County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons, firms, and corporations having claims against the estate of said deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned, Linda Lutz Ware, Executrix, on or before the 17th day of October, 2019 or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. All persons, firms, and corporations indebted to the said estate to please make immediate payment to the undersigned. This the 17th day of July, 2019. Linda Lutz Ware, Executrix Estate of: Cameron Stokes Ware 1143 Phifer Road Kings Mountain, NC 28086 KMH3888 (7/17, 24, 31 & 8/07/19)
The centerpiece of the historic district is Murray’s Mill, built by John Murray, whose father, William, had operated a mill on the site since 1883. In 1906, William deeded the property to his sons, John and O.D. In 1907, John Murray acquired a 5/6 interest from his brother O.D., who would take over operation of the general store. In 1913, John replaced his father’s mill with the current two-story structure, adding a 22’ overshot waterwheel, in lieu of the former turbine. Making room for the mill’s expansion, the Murrays moved the general store to its present location. In 1938, John’s son, Lloyd, raised the dam six feet and installed the 28’ waterwheel. (It’s said that William’s original wooden dam stands beneath the surface of the present pond.) Inside Murray’s Mill, visitors will find William’s original one-ton French buhr millstones for grinding corn, as well as Sprout Waldron & Co. roller mills that John installed for grinding wheat into flour. All of the mill’s storage bins, each partitioned by tongue and groove sheathing, have been preserved, too. When the CCHA overtook the mill’s restoration in 1980 the bins still held flour from the day Lloyd Murray shut the doors due to bureaucratic red tape and increasing taxes. The Murray & Minges General Store Inside “the mercantile department of O.D. Murray and Company,” the two-story, gable-front general store (later adding an additional name, Minges, through marriage), visitors can crack the lid of an antique Coca-Cola refrigerator and grab a drink in a glass bottle. The store is also stocked with old-fashioned wooden toys, such as yoyo’s, as well as toys made by local woodworkers. Sweet tooths will find local honey (in season), local molasses, Cow Tails, Striped Coconut, as well as a mix of modern candies. Old-fashioned soaps and Happy Home Flavorings (some popular with fish, according to the fisherman who stop in), are joined by locally made pottery and aprons, and Murray’s Mill t-shirts, bags, magnets, and mugs. Bead-board ceilings and walls are notable architectural elements, as is the ceiling’s octagonal opening, used by O.D. Murray to keep an eye on the register while re-stocking the upstairs. Murray's Mill is also the site of the Murray’s Mill Harvest Folk Festival celebrates Catawba County’s agricultural heritage with an array of exhibits, craftsmen, and activities, including petting zoos, pony rides, antique cars, tractors and farm machinery, and traditional food preparations
such as molasses making. Bluegrass, Country, and Gospel comprise the impressive band schedule, the Cockman Family hosting musicians and audience in the Murray’s Mill Amphitheater. Included in the ticket price ($5 at the gate) is a tour of the mill, whose original French burr millstones grind away producing bags of flour and cornmeal.
