Ramey unhappy Three Shelby men charged with city’s inaction in Kings Mountain robberies
By Loretta Cozart
On Tuesday, June 26, City Council heard a complaint from Keith Ramey of 109 Bessie Drive in Kings Mountain. According to Ramey, Mr. Hound of Wilshire Drive lives on a lot with a house off the water on Moss Lake. Hound has graded his property to give it a lake view. In the grading process, Hound pushed the dirt into the lake, almost choking off the cove. In Ramey’s estimation, Hound has pushed enough dirt into the cove to extend the shoreline ten to fifteen feet out into the lake. In July 2018, Ramey reached out to the Mayor, City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Mike Roper, and Ricky Duncan but no progress has been made. Ramey kept detailed notes with whom he has spoken during the last year and when; he has reached the limit of his patience.
Assistant City Manager, Nick Hendricks told City Council he agrees that the city didn’t meet the discussed deadline but shared that he was only told by Hound two weeks ago that he doesn’t have the money to correct the problem. The city has now given Hound 45 days to respond as to how he intends to fix the situation. If he doesn’t respond in the 30 days remaining, the city attorney will step in. When asked if he can live with that, Ramey replied, “I can live with it, but I’m not happy about it. This should have been fixed months ago. I’ve lost the sale of my property because of this situation. Make him (Hound) clean this mess up. In ten days, it will be a year I’ve had to deal with this. You are asking me to give you 30 more days. I’ll give you 45 days from today… 45 days.” Hendricks told City Council, See RAMEY, Page 7A

Free fishing day July 4 From 12 a.m. until 11:59 p.m., everyone in North Carolina can fish for free in any public body of water, including coastal waters, without having to purchase a fishing license or additional trout fishing privilege. Although no fishing license is required, all other fishing regulations apply, such as length and daily possession limits, as well as bait and tackle restrictions. Free Fishing Day always falls on July 4. It was started in 1994 and is sponsored by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and authorized by the N.C. General Assembly. To give anglers a better chance of catching fish, the
Commission stocks a variety of fish in waters across the state — including trout and channel catfish. The agency also provides access to fishing sites across the state, including public fishing areas and boating access areas. The interactive fishing and boating maps on the Commission’s website list more than 500 fishing and boating areas, many of which are free, that are open to the public. On all other days of the year, a fishing license is not required for anglers 15 years and younger, but anyone age 16 and older must have a fishing license to fish in any public water in North Carolina, including coastal waters.

Liberty Mountain is Stone solid By Robert Inman W e are fortunate to have one talented cast after another as we produce INMAN “Liberty Mountain: The Revolutionary Drama” through the years at the Joy Performance Center in downtown Kings Mountain. We always have some newcomers to the show, and for them, it’s a unique experience diving into the production and emerging from rehearsals as a tight-knit family of actors ready to treat audiences to the vivid, gripping story of a vital part of the Revolutionary War. Director Caleb Sigmon also relies on a solid core of actors who return year after year – folks whose knowledge of the play and experience performing it are invaluable in a tight rehearsal schedule. At the top of our veteran category you can put Katie and Chris Stone, brother-sister Kings Mountain actors. Each has been with us five out of the six years we’ve brought “Lib-
• • • • • •
erty Mountain” to the stage. They’ve played different roles from year to year, but their talent and commitment to the show are unwavering. It began with Chris, who was a member of our world premier cast in 2014. His mom encouraged him to audition for a role, and director Caleb Sigmon realized quickly he had a budding talent on his hands. Several months later, when we began our first summer production, Chris insisted that sister Katie come along. She, too, showed the talent and spark that has made her an essential part of our company through the years. This year, Katie portrays Elizabeth McQueen, the brave and sturdy mother of a family from the region beyond the Blue Ridge mountains where Patriots first gathered to fight at Kings Mountain. When husband and son leave for battle, she says, “I’ll put you in the hands of the Lord.” For Chris, it’s the opportunity to play one of the true bad guys of the story, William “Bloody Bill” Cunningham, a ruthless Loyalist outlaw who brings death and destruction to Patriot families in the backcountry of South Carolina.

is one of the nicest fellows you’ll ever meet, but he uses his considerable talent and insight to become a convincing “Bloody Bill.” Katie has multiple duties in this year’s production. In addition to her role in the show, she’s a key assistant to the costume and weapons operations. She also directs a “second stage” production of the play “Into the Woods,” which members of the Liberty Mountain cast will perform for three nights later during the run of the main show. Both are keen students of history and see “Liberty Mountain” as an opportunity to portray the vital role that Kings Mountain and Cleveland County played in securing America’s independence. Chris is especially interested in historic preservation and will soon enroll in the American College of Building Arts, studying classical architecture. Come see Katie and Chris and their immensely talented colleagues bring this story vividly to life. Performances at the Joy run for three more weekends.

July 4th garbage and recycling schedule Garbage collection with be delayed by one day for citizens who normally receive pickup on Wednesday and Thursday. Recycling routes 8 and 9 will be collected on Thursday.
July 4th is just around the corner so let's stop and take a look at some of the local people and places that played a big role in the founding of our nation. Patterson Springs in southern Cleveland County is a quiet community with a long history. Six miles south of the crossroads of NC 226 and NC 180 is the former site of a Revolutionary War-era site once known as Graham's Fort. Now occupied by a house that is part modern and part antebellum, the "fort" was actually a large log cabin built by Colonel William Graham. Graham was quite a character. In addition to being a strong proponent of liberty, he was also a delegate to the Fifth Provincial Congress. In September 1780, Graham and his family and friends were attacked inside their fort by local Tories. In the ensuing fight, four Tories were wounded. The next month, Graham found himself fighting at Kings Mountain. Next stop is the town of Grover. Located on US 29 near Grover are historical markers that pinpoint two places that British soldiers were in evidence during the Revolution. The first marker indicated where troops of Major Patrick Ferguson bivouacked on Oct. 4 and 5, 1780 before they made their way to Kings Mountain. The other marker points to the spot where Lord Cornwallis and his men entered North Carolina in January 1781 on their second invasion of North Carolina. While in Grover, another interesting place to visit is the old Shiloh Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Located on a dirt road off Elm Street, the cemetery holds the remains of one of Cleveland County's most illustrious patriots, Colonel Frederick Hambright (1727-1817). Born in Germany, Hambright had prior to his service in the Revolution been an Indian fighter.

Col. Frederick Hambright’s grave at Shiloh Presbyterian Church in Grover. Another hero of the Battle of Kings Mtn. is William Chronicle from Belmont. A NC Highway Historical marker on Catawba St. in front of the Belmont Historical Society (pictured) points out the fact that the home of Chronicle, leader of the “South Fork Boys” was once located nearby. Chronicle was killed in the battle. In the city of Kings Mountain is another cemetery with Revolutionary War connections. Located off Afton Drive is a graveyard that contains the remains of patriot Preston Goforth (1739-1780). A native of Rutherford County, Goforth was killed in the Battle of Kings Mountain. In an interesting twist, Goforth had three brothers who were also killed in the battle–fighting on the side of Loyalists. Leaving Kings Mountain on NC 161, go about two miles and turn left onto Long Creek Road. Near where the road crosses Long Creek is the Washington Iron Furnace. This furnace was used during the Revolution to manufacture cannonballs and other implements. Outside Bessemer City in Gaston County is the Tryon Community. Created in 1769 by the colonial assembly, Tryon County once stretched from the shores of the Catawba River all the way to the mountains. Because it was named for one of King George's pals, Royal gubernator William Tryon, the county was dissolved in 1799 leaving only its name. During the Revolution, citizens of the Tryon community areas got together and drew up a set of proclamations on August 14, 1775 that
spelled out their displeasure at the way things were going between England and the colonies. Though the document didn't go quite as far as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, the Tryon Resolves nonetheless vowed that its drafters would fight for their freedoms if it came to that. While they were at it, the folks of Tryon also decided they would get muskets, powder and ammo from their patriotic friends in Charleston, SC. Today, a stone and bronze marker to the Tryon Resolves can be seen. The marker was erected by the DAR and lists the names of those who signed the document. Near the Tryon community is Pasour Mountain. Just off NC 279, Pasour Mountain was originally known as LaBoone Mountain for the LaBoone family who lived there. During the Revolution, the LaBoones, who were Tories, sometimes sought shelter in a cave. Eventually they felt local patriots' displeasure and skeedaddled. One of the best sources for information about places in North Carolina and their War of Independence connections is "Touring North Carolina's Revolutionary War Sites" by Daniel Barefoot. An attorney and resident of Lincolnton, Barefoot has gathered his vast knowledge of the Revolutionary period in our state together in a volume published by John F. Blair of Winston Salem.

TODAY’S QUOTE: What I’m not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period. –Stevie Wonder
Pieces of Kings Mountain History
By Loretta Cozart
Michael Parker purchased the SageSport LORETTA Building COZART at 119 W. Mountain Street. He has big plans for the property, breathing new life into the old building. Thinking about the building’s future caused me to wonder about her past. I knew very little about the it, except that it had been owned by the Fulton family and they had a store there.
Sanborn Maps show a brick building on that lot as early as 1908. The Sanborn Map prior to that was drawn in 1902. That year there was no building at that location. From these maps, we can prove the building is at least 111 years-old and could as old as 117. In 1902, C. J. Peterson had a general repair shop located on that lot. A blacksmith, woodworking shop, and planer shared the lot also. By 1908, Mr. Patterson’s name isn’t listed on the map, and the brick building we know now had been built. The map
indicates Clo. as the type of business operating there, I suspect it indicates they sold clothing. I know W. P. Fulton was a merchant in town and the building was owned by him, but I do not know conclusively that it was his store’s location. Without a newspaper or Sanborn map for guidance, we have a 19-year gap. In 1938, a Piggly-Wiggly opened in that building. The Piggly-Wiggly didn’t last long, because Myers’ Department store opened there by December 29, 1938. Oscar Winfred Myers owned Myers’ Department
Store and was “considered by many to be almost everyone’s favorite salesperson in Kings Mountain,” according to the Herald. In his obituary, it said he operated his store for more than 20 years before selling it to Ruth and Bill Fulton in 1964. Myers moved to Charlotte to be closer to his children and came back to work at Plonk Brothers at the age of 90. So, he must have been a wonderful salesman that everyone trusted. He eventually stopped driving due to age and took the bus from Charlotte. He walked the last two-blocks from
the Trailways Bus terminal, located near the Overhead Bridge, to Plonks Brothers Store every day. Ruth and Bill Fulton owned Fulton’s Department Store for 18 years, until 1982. That year, son Corkey Fulton closed his parent’s store and opened SageSport. The store sold Adidas, Puma, and other brands of athletic footwear. Fulton expanded his stores to eight locations. And as his other locations flourished, the Kings Mountain store closed. Now, Michael Parker owns the building. We have
high hopes he will bring the old building back to life so it can again become a hub of commerce. What business will be located there? That’s hard to say, since that is often determined by the lessee. We do know that the building will have strong walls, a new interior, and a sound roof. As a general contractor, Michael Parker will make sure of that. With a solid foundation, the Parker Building can begin a second life, celebrating its second century in downtown Kings Mountain.

■ MEDITATION
Is America Obsolete? after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which He had done for Israel” (Judges 2:10). The result of this major drift from their moorings brought them to, “Nevertheless, the people refused to obey....for they said...we will have a king over us: THAT WE ALSO MAY BE LIKE OTHER NATIONS” (I Sam. 8:19-20, emphasis mine). God’s response was to give them a king, for He said ... “for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me” (Judges 8:7). History records the disaster of following that path. Here comes America. Founded by God Himself. Built on the Holy Bible and the greatest country ever on the face of the earth. In India a group of youth asked me if I felt superior to them because of America. That hurt me to have them
There is an unmistakable parallel between ancient Israel and the United States of America. With such an illustriRoger R. ous history Woodard, ThD. of being Senior Pastor founded by Family Worship God Himself, Center miracles, favor and blessings, Israel was the example to their world. A “peculiar” people (Deut.14:2/28:18). Peculiar doesn’t have the connotations we use today. It means unique, one of a kind. But ...“all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation
think that. But I replied, America’s superiority in the world is due to our founding and continuing to observe “In God We Trust”.. I said your country has 53 million (or is it billions?) of gods and that is the main reason your country’s greatness is retarded. I continued, if America turns from the God of the Bible, we will decline rapidly. Observe today how the freedoms purchased and maintained by the blood and sacrifice of American Patriots is disdained. Multi-millionaires, made wealthy because of their athletic or business acumen, but possible because of our Constitution and freedoms, refuse to salute our flag or stand for the national anthem. They ill not allow freedom voices of conservatism to be heard in the public arena. Socialism is embraced.
Forget the monsters Joseph Stalin, Mao, Che Rivera Maduro, Erdogan, countless others. Forget the system that allowed them to flourish, subjugated their populations, and kill or starve millions. There is a new generation in America determined to burn down the house. The are so blind and ignorant they think they can actually have everything free. They have no concept that someone has to pay for it. They government has no money. They have to rob they citizenry to continue a policy over $20 trillion of debt. Dear Old Margaret Thatcher was so right, “The problem with socialism is, sooner or later you run out of other of people’s money”. If the pandering of the socialist democrat candidates in the debates didn’t scare you, then you’re part of the problem. I
look at and read the news here and around the world virtually every day and I don’t mind telling you I’m appalled at this snowball of socialism running rapidly downhill. However all of us old gray beards aren’t gone yet. So this 4th of July and long thereafter, we will salute the flag and with tear filled eyes pledge allegiance to the “FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION. UNDER GOD. INDIVISIBLE. WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” AMERICA OBSOLETE? Not in my book and I expect I’m not alone!

OSPREY NEST AT MOSS LAKE – Mayor Neisler posted on his Facebook page a photo of the Osprey Nest at Moss Lake. The photo shows a mother with three chicks about to leave the nest. To see them before they fly away, go to: http://www.cityofkm.com/528/Osprey-Nest-Webcam. “I have been watching every day, and the chicks won’t be there much longer. Mom has done a great job taking care of them. She is in the middle of the picture,” the mayor shared. the museum while Ensley & Dale share stories of the stories played out on our screens.

American Legion Post 155 recognized for service American Legion Post 155 received a Certificate of Appreciation for providing 1,904 hours through work opportunities for the Community Service Work Program in 2018. Last year, the Otis D. Green Post 155 provided more Community Service Hours than any other organization in Kings Mountain. Computing those service hours by $7.25 equates to $13,789.50 in saved wages
for the American Legion. “I am so happy we were able help folks in our community by providing Community Service opportunities here in Kings Mountain,” said Rachel Carrol, Chaplain of the American Legion Auxiliary. “We hope those who performed their community service hours with us get on the right path.” According to FindLaw. com, “The theory behind court ordered community
service is that mandating minor offenders to perform community service offers more benefit to society than incarceration of those offenders. The community benefits from the work that the offender performs and avoids the cost of incarceration while the offender benefits from a lesser sentence and, it is hoped, is rehabilitated, educated and enriched through the work they perform.”

Mayor Scott Neisler added item – 10 H, requesting that the City of Kings Mountain City Council hold a public hearing at their regularly scheduled July 30, 2019 meeting to be held at 6:00 pm in the City Council Chamber of City Hall to Close out the Kings Mountain Downtown Redevelopment CDBG Program, CDBG #15-E-2770, consisting of $300,000 CDBG grant for 213 Battleground Avenue and $200,000 CBBG grant for 133 West Mountain Street.
A Public Hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. to consider Rezoning Request with a Conditional Use Permit for property located at 923 Cleveland Avenue from RS-8 to Conditional Use – General Business – Case No. CUR-13-19. A Public Hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. for a Draft Zoning Text Amendment to the permitted uses listed on the Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance and special conditions added in the general business, and light and heavy manufacturing districts, to include tattoo parlors, vape shops and body piercing shops – Case No. 2-1-5-19. A special called meeting and Public Hearing was scheduled for July 11, 2019 (or any other day the City Council deems) at 6:00 p.m. to determine if the City Council should establish a 60-day moratorium on new tattoo parlors, vape shops and body piercing establishments. – N.C.G.S. 160-A-381(e) – Moratoria. City Council entered into a Public Hearing to consider
a modification to the Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance “Section 6.16 – Overlay Districts” to combine the text for all thoroughfare overlay zoning districts into common language creating a single thoroughfare zoning district, identified only as a different overlay district simply due to geography of location – Case No. Z-1-3-19. When asked, Planning Director Stuart Gilbert confirmed to City Council that the KM Preservation District is not included in this modification. Both King Street and Cleveland Avenue would be included. Discussion then centered around new Pawn Shops. If approved, existing Pawn Shops would be grandfathered in, but no new pawn shops would not be allowed in any of the included thoroughfare overlay zoning districts. Entering back into the Regular meeting, Jay Rhodes made the motion to adopt a Consistency Statement in favor of modification to the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance. In discussion, councilman Keith Miller questioned the language regarding the trees allowed for planting, so Rhodes amended his motion to exclude the section on allowed trees. That item will be revisited next month. The vote was then unanimously approved. Jay Rhodes made the motion to approve the Ordinance modifying “Section 6.16 – Overlay Districts” to combine the text for all thoroughfare overlay zoning districts into common language creating a single thoroughfare zoning district, identified only as a different overlay district simply due to geography of location – Case No. Z-1-3-19. City Council unanimously approved.

in the community as the Lumbee Robin Hood. In the post-Civil War and Jim Crow times, Lumbees fought for Indian schools, state recognition, and a tribal name, finally settling on the Lumbee name in the 1950s. One defining event in Lumbee history occurred in 1958 when a large group of Lumbees disrupted a Ku Klux Klan rally near Maxton, and chased its leaders away, gaining positive national attention for the Lumbee. The Lumbee effort for federal recognition gained partial success in 1956 with the passage of the Lumbee Act. It recognized the tribe as Indian, but did not make its people eligible for the benefits
accorded other recognized tribes. As for the future, Lowery closes her book with a strong argument for full recognition of the Lumbee. “Under pressure of European settlement, our ancestors abandoned many of our oldest homeplaces, but having existed for nearly 300 years along the Lumber River, we will not forsake this place.” Lowery may not persuade everyone that the Lumbee Tribe should gain full recognition. But what she has shown conclusively is that the Lumbee people are entitled to respect, admiration, and appreciation for their 300plus years struggle to build and hold their community together.

Sheriff offers tips for a safe July 4th weekend With the approach of the July 4th weekend, S h e r iff Alan SHERIFF N o r m a n ALAN NORMAN asks all citizens to join him in making this Fourth of July holiday period a happy and enjoyable one for all. Traditionally during the July 4th Holiday, our highways experience one of the highest traffic flows of the year. The Sheriff reminds all Cleveland County residents to follow these safety tips: • Always shift your attention every few seconds, constantly scanning the road ahead and behind you.
Never blankly stare ahead nor fix your gaze on one point on the road. • When passing an automobile, always glance at the ground beside the front wheel of the car you intend to pass. You will know instantly if the car is about to veer - giving you an extra few seconds to respond. • You should pull out into the opposite lane of traffic when passing while you are still well behind the car in front. This should give you some time and space to build up speed and will enable you to pull back into your own lane should the need arise. Never cut abruptly out of your lane into the opposite lane when passing. • Always signal your intentions with your brake lights, turn signals, horn and/or headlights so that
other drivers will see you well before you change course. • Drivers should always “aim high” in steering. That is, you should glance frequently at points well ahead of you. Not only will this help your steering, but it will also help you check the position of vehicles in front of you as well as on-coming ones. • Never follow too close. Remember that, as your speed increases, it takes you substantially longer to stop. Also remember that it’s good to have an extra cushion of space in front of you if you’re being tail-gated, on a slippery road, or in low visibility conditions. “I would like to remind all motorists to practice the Golden Rule when driving. Be courteous and tolerant
of other drivers. Please don’t get angry with bad drivers or reckless ones – just get out of their way,” Sheriff Norman said. Sheriff Norman also wants citizens to use caution when swimming at a pool. Sheriff Norman said, “Sadly, most deaths from drowning occur within a few feet of safety.” The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. The Red Cross has swimming courses for peopleaof any age and swimming ability. To find out where lessons are offered, or to enroll in a CPR/AED or first aid course, contact your local Red Cross chapter. At a swimming pool, take the following precautions: • If no lifeguard is on
duty, do not let children swim unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult who knows lifesaving techniques and first aid. • Post CPR instructions and directions to call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number in the pool area. • Look around the pool area to be certain lifesaving devices are readily available for emergency use. • Be sure covers are installed on all drains of a swimming pool or in a wading pool. The suction created by the pool’s circulating pumps can be very dangerous unless it is reduced by covers. • Take frequent breaks (about once an hour) where everyone gets out of the water, drinks water, reapplies water resistant sun-
screen (SPF 30 or higher) and rests. • If a child is missing, check the pool first. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom, and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area. • To reduce the risk of eye, ear, nose or throat infection from contaminated water, swim only in pools in which water quality is properly maintained. The water should appear crystal clear, be continuously circulated and be maintained at a level that allows free overflow into the gutter or skimmer. There should not be a strong odor of ammonia or chlorine. In closing, Sheriff Norman said, “Let’s make this summer a safe and enjoyable one”.

Hal Fritz
Medal of Honor recipient to speak at AL World Series American Legion Post 155 will host the American Legion World Series (ALWS) luncheon on Friday, August 16 at 11 a.m. at the Otis D. Green Post home on East Gold Street. Harold “Hal” Fritz, Medal of Honor Recipient, will speak to an anticipated gathering of 300 people. National Commander Brett Reistad and National President Kathy Dungan will also address the luncheon crowd. Mayor Scott Neisler will also bring greetings to the players and coaches. Hall Fritz received the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Capt. (then 1st Lt.) Fritz, Armor, U.S. Army, distinguished himself while serving as a platoon leader with Troop A, near Quần Lợi. Capt. Fritz was leading his 7-vehicle armored column along Highway 13 to meet and escort a truck convoy when the column suddenly came under intense crossfire from a reinforced enemy company deployed in ambush positions. In the initial attack, Capt. Fritz’ vehicle was hit, and he was seriously wounded. Realizing that his platoon was surrounded, vastly outnumbered, and in danger of being overrun, Capt. Fritz leaped to the top of his burning vehicle and directed the positioning of his remaining vehicles and men. With complete disregard for his wounds and safety, he ran from vehicle to vehicle in complete view of the enemy gunners in order to reposition his men, to improve the defenses, to assist the wounded, to distribute ammunition, to direct fire, and to provide encouragement to his men.
When a strong enemy force assaulted the position and attempted to overrun the platoon, Capt. Fritz manned a machine gun and through his exemplary action inspired his men to deliver intense and deadly fire which broke the assault and routed the attackers. Moments later a second enemy force advanced to within two meters of the position and threatened to overwhelm the defenders. Capt. Fritz, armed only with a pistol and bayonet, led a small group of his men in a fierce and daring charge which routed the attackers and inflicted heavy casualties. When a relief force arrived, Capt. Fritz saw that it was not deploying effectively against the enemy positions, and he moved through the heavy enemy fire to direct its deployment against the hostile positions. This deployment forced the enemy to abandon the ambush site and withdraw. Despite his wounds, Capt. Fritz returned to his position, assisted his men, and refused medical attention until his wounded comrades had been treated and evacuated. The extraordinary courage and selflessness displayed by Capt. Fritz, at the repeated risk of his own life above and beyond the call of duty, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army and reflect the greatest credit upon himself, his unit, and the Armed Forces.

Workers began Friday removing leaky water pipes under the playing field at John Gamble Stadium. As soon as the new pipes are installed work will begin on removing the sod and putting artificial turf on the playing field as well as a new track. The work is scheduled to be completed in time for the opening season football game with Burns on August 23.
