American Legion World Series Keeter Stadium – (Photo provided by ALWS)

American Legion World Series starts Thursday in Shelby

By Loretta Cozart T h e A m e r i can Legion World S e r i e s (ALWS) is this week at Veterans Field and Keeter Stadium in Shelby. Each day provides an opportunity to enjoy baseball, spend quality time with friends and family, and take time to honor our veterans. It is as American as hot dogs, baseball, and apple pie.

By the time teams get to Cleveland County for the ALWS, most of them will have played about 50 games; some will have played closer to 70 games.

But all of them typically will have won five games at the sub state level; five games at the state level and five games at the regional level. Once at Keeter Stadium, they’re faced with winning five games to become the ALWS Champion.

American Legion Post 155 will host the 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.

Make sure student vaccines are up to date As teachers, parents and students are preparing for the start of the 2019–2020 school year, public health officials with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services are reminding North Carolinians to ensure their children, especially teens and preteens, are current on their vaccinations.

“Vaccines are key to keeping everyone healthy, from infants to older adults, and helping prevent the spread of diseases in our communities” said Kelly Kimple, M.D., M.P.H., Chief of the Women’s and Children’s Health Section of the Division of Public Health.

To be fully immunized, children need all doses of all age-appropriate vaccines in the recommended schedule. If your child does not receive the recommended doses, your child and individuals in the community are vulnerable to serious diseases.

Check with your child’s doctor to find out if he or she is due for any vaccinations.

In North Carolina, vaccination records are checked when a child enters a childcare facility or a school. Children who have not obtained the required immunizations on the first day of attendance may be excluded from any school — public, private or religious — unless they have received immunizations appropriate for their age or have a valid, documented exemption or proof of immunity.

As children move into their preteen and teen years, they become more susceptible to certain diseases, making it especially important to stay current with immunizations. Preteens, ages 11–12, should get the following four vaccines: • Meningitis Vaccine (MCV4): Protects against some bacteria that cause meningitis and other diseases • Tetanus Shot (Tdap): Helps prevent tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough • HPV Vaccine: Protects against human papillomavirus infection and cancers • Flu Shot (Influenza): Recommended seasonally during fall and winter for everyone 6

months of age and older MCV4 and Tdap vaccines are required for all children by 12 years of age. A parent or guardian must present a certificate of immunization to the principal or operator of school on the first day of school attendance. These immunizations continue through adolescence to protect against bacteria that cause meningitis and other diseases.

An important change will be implemented for the 2020–21 school year. Effective Aug. 1, 2020 a booster dose of MCV4 is required at age 16 and before entering the 12th grade. Depending on risk factors, some teens may also need serogroup B vaccine.

Parents with teenagers should talk to their pediatrician or family physician about which vaccines are appropriate.

The Immunization Branch of the Division of Public Health is partnering with the North Carolina Pediatric Society and the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians for a monthlong awareness campaign to help ensure that school-age children are protected from vaccine-preventable diseases. Governor Roy Cooper has proclaimed August as Immunization Awareness Month in North Carolina to highlight the importance of vaccines and immunizations.

“You can use any health care visit, including for sports or camp physicals, school health assessments, checkups and sick visits to have your preteen or teen vaccinated,” said Susan Mims, M.D., MPH, FAAP, president of the N.C. Pediatric Society. “Talk with your pediatrician or health care professional to know what vaccinations are due and make sure your kids are protected.”

It is important to your child’s health to be up to date on immunizations. If you are unsure which vaccines your child needs at any age, you can find more information at the CDC website.

More information, including a list of all required North Carolina school immunizations, from kindergarten through 12th grade is available at www.immunize. nc.gov/family.

OPINION

Wednesday, August 14, 2019

TODAY’S QUOTE:

The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.

–Tom Peters

Pieces of Kings Mountain History August 14 marked the 244th anniversary of the signing of the Tryon Resolves LORETTA near BesseCOZART mer City in 1775. Christian Manuey built a public house where travelers lodged, and that structure became the Tryon County Courthouse. One of the rooms was set aside as the county jail. In that time, Tryon County encompassed modern-day Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland, and Rutherford counties.

On August 14, 1775, the Tryon Association gathered to form a Committee on Safety and the meeting

convened at Christian Mauney’s home. The men condemned the behavior of the British for actions taken toward citizens at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19th and 20th, 1775. They proclaimed their right to defend themselves if attacked, and ultimately expressed hope for a reconciliation. A century later, we would come to refer to this type of document as a “Resolve.”

In a two-year span of time, North Carolinians signed five Resolves expressing their displeasure with the British Crown to varying degrees: the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, the

Charlottetown Resolves, the Liberty Point Resolves, the Tryon Resolves, and the Halifax Resolves.

By expressing their displeasure and signing these Resolves, citizens did what they could to support the patriot cause. And, when the war came to North Carolina, they were ready to defend themselves and their families from British tyranny.

The turning point of the American Revolution began right on our doorstep at the Battle of Kings Mountain. British Commander Sir Henry Clinton supports this assertion when he described the battle as “an Event which was immediately

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Several weeks ago we passed an accountable budget bill for North Carolinians, on a bipartisan basis, that would efficiently address education, health and human services, agriculture, natural and economic resources, justice and public safety, all of general state government, information technology, capital, transportation, tax

relief, and other important issues.

Unfortunately, Governor Cooper vetoed KELLY this bill.

HASTINGS Essentially, in my opinion, he is thwarting a responsible state budget primarily

because it does not include billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to expand Medicaid. While this is an important issue, it would be irresponsible to saddle North Carolinians with huge tax increases to fund the billions of dollars it would take to fund Medicaid expansion. In fact, we encourage the governor to work with us on fiscally responsible approaches to

Looking back

On July 1, 1965, the Burger Barn opened at 107 York Road. The quick serve restaurant offered 15 cent hamburgers, along with cheeseburgers, fries, fountain and soft drinks, milk shakes and apple turnovers. The barn themed restaurant was designed by Gus Hampton of Cherryville and came repleat with silos that served as restrooms. It also featured a drive-in window. Owners included Les Roark, Roland Hamrick, Jr., and Jack White. Next door was the Dairy Barn that served frozen treats during the summer months.

productive of the worst Consequences to the King’s affairs in South Carolina, and unhappily proved the first Link of a Chain of Evils that followed each other in regular succession until they at last ended in the total loss of America.”

One year and one week after this battle the patriots were victorious, and the issue decided. Cornwallis was defeated at Yorktown and a new nation was born.

Two Hundred and Forty-four years later, only the Tryon Resolves’ original document survives, stored safely in the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh.

Col. Frederick Ham-

bright, along with other men from the area, signed the Tryon Resolves. Later, these same men fought against the British at several battles including Ramsour’s Mill, Musgrove’s Mill, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens. Many DAR and SAR members descend from these men.

On January 23, 1781, General Cornwallis marched in support of Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton at Cowpens when he heard of Tarleton’s defeat. Cornwallis and his 4,000 men camped on the site of the Tryon County Courthouse during their retreat. It is hard to believe so many camped in such a small and unassuming

place.

The Tryon Resolves is the lone surviving document from all those issued in North Carolina in 1775 and 1776. This document is tangible proof of the lengths people would take to speak out against the unjust behavior the British military took on the colonist.

If you’d like to commemorate the Tryon Resolves, join the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter and other DAR and SAR groups this Saturday, August 17, at 10 am at the site of the old Tryon County Courthouse at the Tryonota Volunteer Fire Department at 2577 Tryon Courthouse Rd, Bessemer City, NC 28016.

affordable and accessible healthcare.

During my first term, which started in 2011, I was surprised by the hundreds of millions of dollars of Medicaid cost overruns.

Furthermore, this program involves the local, state and federal governments, and the federal government is trillions of dollars in debt. From a fiscal standpoint, it does not feel right to expand Medicaid since expansion would most likely worsen the debt and tax burdens.

As a chairman of the House Appropriations - Capital and Education Universities committees, my staff and I worked with Speaker Moore and others to approve funding for capital, repairs, and renovations for schools, community colleges, universities and other taxpayer assets throughout the state.

It is also noteworthy to mention that many local governments and Crowders Mountain would receive infusions of money to help with local needs and

projects. This is the case with the Joint Conference Committee Report on the Current Operations Appropriations Act of 2019 and previous budgets we passed. We also appropriated money to help communities recover from natural disasters. Due to our budgetary accountability and efficiency and support from the taxpayers, we had the resources to help, without raising taxes, and we were able to set aside money for a rainy See LETTER, Page7A

■ MEDITATION

What Should I Do? This is the time of year that many people often contemplate the direction of their life.

Pastor I have Jeff Longwell one child Penley’s Chapel beginChurch ning college and one will graduate from high school this coming year. A very frequent conversation in our home is centered around, “What should I do?” and “What is God’s will for me?”

These thoughts are not limited to young people though.

Whether one is a young adult,

middle aged, or older, we all grapple with these questions.

Which job should I take?

When should I purchase a home? Whom should I marry? And it’s not just the life-changing choices, even smaller decisions are important. We all seek a course of action that will produce the very best results in our lives, but how do we accomplish this?

God’s Word has the answer to these questions. It may not tell us the specifics of our situation, but it gives us principles that will guide us if we will follow them. One of my favorite texts from the book of Proverbs addresses this dilemma. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean

not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) It begins with trusting in the Lord. We have to trust that He knows what is best, and He has good plans for us. Our problem is that we tend to think that we know what is best. We often lean on our own understanding like stubborn children. God is the source of all wisdom. Why would we not trust Him? When we learn to trust in the Lord, we will also acknowledge Him in everything we do. Simply ask Him in prayer and He will be faithful to direct us in the right way.

I’ve learned to pray about everything. A few years ago I

was computer shopping with my daughter and we couldn’t find what we needed. We were about to go into the fourth store when I remembered - we didn’t pray! We prayed right then and we found what we were looking for at that store, and it was on sale! My daughter said, “We should have prayed first!” And that’s how we learn to trust in God. Moment by moment, day by day, He will guide us if we will trust Him. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5)

If two security guards with semiautomatic pistols had been standing outside the Walmart in El Paso or the nightclub in Dayton, the mass murders could possibly have been prevented.

Finally, we have to

stop the hate. Let’s stop it everywhere from politics to social media, to the highways and to our national media. Let’s get hate out of television programs and our music.

Head Coach Greg Lloyd talks to his team prior to the start of heavy drills last week. The Mountaineers travel to Burns Friday for a 7 p.m. game with Newton-Conover in the Cleveland County Jamboree. They open the regular season on Friday, Aug. 23 at Burns.

Mountaineers face Newton-Conover at Burns Friday at 7 p.m. in Cleveland County Jamboree Kings Mountain High’s football team is getting a late start on scrimmages and jamborees after their scheduled opponent Berry Academy of Charlotte dropped out of last week’s East Rutherford Jamboree.

Except for practice, that left the Mountaineers idle heading into a scrimmage yesterday at Monroe Parkwood.

But, they’ll get in a half of football against the Newton-Conover Red Devils in the 7 o’clock game in the annual Cleveland County Jamboree Friday night at Burns High School.

The event opens at 6 p.m. with four half-games scheduled.

Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd is anxious to see his players hit someone else.

He believes the Red Devils will be a strong test.

“They have a ton of players and will be solid,” he said.

“They have eight starters back and a really good wide receiver, Brandon Johnson, who has been offered by Tennessee. They’ll throw to him a lot.”

The game will be a kind of homecoming for Moun-

taineer quarterback, Ethan Reid, who played at Newton Conover before transferring to a school in Texas last year and then coming here at the semester break.

“We beat them 21-0 last year (at Shelby), so they will be anxious to play us again,” Lloyd said. “We will have to be ready.

“We want go get everybody playing time, that’s the main thing,” Lloyd noted.

“We’ll be getting our special teams on the field. We hope to see improvement and play well. But we’re not going to

worry about the score. We want to try to improve.”

The Mountaineers have been working hard in practice and coaches are anxious to see them in a game situation.

This will be their first of two trips in a week’s time to Burns. Next Friday night, they open their regular season against the Bulldogs at Ron Greene Stadium. The game was originally scheduled to be played at KM’s John Gamble Stadium but stadium improvements will not be totally finished by then.

Opening season game moved to Burns, turf installation to begin later this week Kings Mountain’s opening football game with Burns, originally scheduled to be the first game played on new artificial turf at John Gamble Stadium, will instead be played at Ron Greene Stadium on the campus of Burns High School on Friday, August 23.

The Mountaineers’ turf should be in place by then, but due to conditions around the school such as broken pavement, etc., Touchdown Club President David Brinkley and Cleveland County Schools Superintendent Dr. Stephen Fisher agreed there could be a safety issue for fans.

The project, not only at the stadium but also at the site of the new tennis court

facilities, faced some unforeseen problems from the beginning. Soil compaction problems at the tennis courts caused delays that will result in the women’s tennis team playing all of its matches on the road, and problems with the piping under the playing field at the football stadium caused the turf project to be delayed.

Brinkley pointed out that Stott Construction and Medallion Construction have worked hard six days a week to keep the projects on schedule.

“Unfortunately, some of the problems we faced caused too much of a delay,” he said “Friday, we had to make a decision with the construction crews, Cleve-

land County Schools, and ourselves. The turf for the football field should arrive Wednesday and should begin being placed on the field Thursday or Friday. Though there may be ample time to get the turf in place, the construction site is too dangerous for our fans.”

Thus, Burns and Kings Mountain will just swap home games this year and next. Kings Mountain plays at Monroe for its second game, and Brinkley said the stadium project should be complete for the Mountaineers’ third game, a home contest with TC Roberson on September 6.

“I know this is disappointing,” Brinkley said. “There See SEASON, Page 2B

KMHS Mountaineers had heavy drills last week as they prepare for the football season.

Wednesday, August 14, 2019

Retaining wall in place at site of new Kings Mountain High School tennis court project.

Every week, people are looking for businesses just like yours.

SEASON From Page 1B was a lot of effort and time put forth to stay on schedule. With the delays, it was too much to overcome. Dr. Fisher and I felt this was the safest option for everyone involved. We could have rushed the project, but we were concerned with keeping the quality that we deserve.”

Brinkley said the tennis courts have been delayed for three weeks because of soil compaction problems. He

said work there should resume this week. He pointed out that Jason Butler and his landscaping crew stepped in and built a retaining wall in one week. Brinkley said the courts should be finished by mid-October and the locker rooms completed in December.

He said the community will be proud of the new facilities.

“These facilities should last for decades and reward many athletes and band members who will participate on some of the best athletic fa-

cilities in our region,” he said.

Meanwhile, he announced that the pledge program for the $2.2 million project has grown to $1.4 million. He urges those who haven’t pledged yet to do so. The first payment is due at the end of August.

“This is an incredible response for our size community,” Brinkley said. “This speaks volumes of how our citizens react and believe in what we are trying to accomplish at Kings Mountain High School.”

Hydrogen bombs fall on NC in 1961 On January 24, 1961, two 4-megaton hydrogen bombs fell from a B-52 bomber that came apart in mid-air over Goldsboro. The debris field lies north of Musgrave’s Crossroads, near Faro and Eureka. One of the two bombs began its detonation sequence as it fell from the sky, but a small switch failed, and it didn’t explode.

According to a now declassified Department of Defense Report, “a simple, dynamo-technology, low-voltage switch stood between the United States and a major catastrophe.” The

fallout from such an explosion would have been catastrophic.

According to a Stanford University report, “these Mark 39 nuclear bombs are 200 - 300 times as powerful as the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When the first bomb fell, the parachute opened and the safing pins that provided power to the weapon from the generator had been pulled, rendering the weapon de-armed.

The parachute on the second bomb was severed, and it impacted the ground at terminal velocity.”

The first bomb’s parachute got caught in a tree and the nose embedded two feet into the ground. The second bomb, with no parachute to slow it down, reached speeds close to 700 mph during its descent. Its core was found 18-feet below the surface.

Workman pumped water out of the swamp while as dug for the bomb, but the water table was too high. The men are unable to retrieve the entire bomb. The military regularly tests nearby wells for contamination.

Bintime is a warehouse overstock store with no frills 70 minutes Southwest of Kings Mountain.

According to their Facebook page, they have bin sales every Saturday through Tuesday with the pricing gradually reduced: Saturday and Sunday, items are $3. On Monday, they drop to $2. On Tuesday, prices drop to $1 per item. Due to the overstock nature, the store is a barebones affair with overhead kept at a minimum.

2019 Hot Nights Cool Rides Car Show in Forest City

CCC to host Open House On Tuesday, August 6, 2019 Cleveland Community College held an open house event for the community.

“This is my first my open house since becoming president of Cleveland Community College last year,” said Dr. Jason Hurst. “I am excited about the effort our faculty and staff put into the event, and the enthusiasm of everyone in attendance.”

Informational and interactive displays were set up in the Student Activities Center for visitors to learn more about programs and services offered at CCC. More than 130 faculty, staff and student volunteers were onsite to assist visitors.

In addition to the displays, educational sessions were offered to help prospective college students learn more about the CCC’s programs and services, how to earn college credit while still in high school, how to navigate the admissions process, and how

to apply for financial aid.

“Applying to college can be intimidating,” said Dr. Andy Gardner, vice president of Student Affairs at CCC. “Knowing this we understand the importance of providing support and assistance throughout the admissions process. Open house is a great way to provide a more relaxed environment for prospective students to explore all we have to offer.”

WOHS radio was broadcasting live during the event and interviewed several CCC faculty, staff and a member of the Board of Trustees.

Drawings were held throughout the evening for prizes including two, 2019 fall tuition scholarships and a Chromebook.

The open house was held in advance of the fall term, which begins August 19, 2019.

Contact admissions at 704-669-4081 for more information on enrolling at CCC.

Nationwide Shortage of TB Skin Test Antigens

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is a national shortage of Tubersol, a purified protein derivative used by healthcare professionals to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis, often referred to as TB. Tubersol is used as a means of diagnosing TB, and is in no way used for the prevention or treatment of TB. It is unclear when this shortage will resolve.

Due to the nationwide shortage of Tubersol, the CDC and North Carolina Division of Public Health recommends temporarily suspending TB testing for the general population, so the supply may be saved for those populations identified to be at greatest risk for TB infection. As a result, the Cleveland County Health Department has temporarily suspended TB testing for residents who may need a TB test for school and employment, and is reserving Tubersol for TB testing for those who have been identified to be at greatest risk for TB infection. The CDC has identified the following categories as persons of highest public health priority, in priority order: • Those with contact to a person with pulmonary or laryngeal TB • Persons with symptoms suggestive of TB disease • Persons arriving from medium or high TB incidence countries (i.e. countries in Latin America, Asia,

Eastern Europe, or Africa).

Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) serology testing is another screening tool for TB. It is available at the Cleveland County Health Department at a cost of $75. It is not recommended to substitute the IGRA for annual TB testing as part of an infection control program (i.e. employee screening).

Per CDC guidance, the following groups should either defer skin testing or use an IGRA: • Staff with direct inmate contact upon employment • Inmates in the custody of the Department of Corrections (both testing upon incarceration and yearly thereafter) • Staff of licensed nursing homes upon employment • Residents upon admission to licensed nursing homes or adult care homes • Staff in adult day care centers providing care to persons with HIV/AIDS upon employment.

Once the Cleveland County Health Department receives an adequate supply of Tubersol, we will notify the public and resume regular TB testing for the general population. For more information on TB testing or if you need clarification on whether to defer or receive the IGRA testing, you may contact the Cleveland County Health Department at 980-484-5100,

Move Band.

The fun and excitement continues with a free showing of the movie “Smokey and the Bandit” at POPS after the trophy ceremony! The movie will start at dusk (approximately 8:30pm). Come early and have your picture made with a Pontiac Trans AM, just like the one that Burt Reynolds drove in the movie! The POPS Concession stand will be open providing all your favorite movie snacks!

For more information call the Forest City Events Line at 828-247-4430 or the Town of Forest City at 828-247-4417.

NC State Health Plan includes Atrium Health

By Loretta Cozart On August 8, State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell, CPA, of the State Health Plan and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina announced that the Plan's network for 2020 will consist of Blue Options Network and the new North Carolina State Health Plan Network.

As of August 5, Atrium Health had not signed on to Folwell’s Clear Pricing Plan, and the hospital system would have been considered out of network for state employees in 2020. On Thursday, it was announced the state’s revised plan would allow health care systems that didn’t sign the agreement to remain in the plan for one more year. For members, this means they will continue to have access to the provider network they utilize today along with some new providers that were not previously part of the Blue Options Network.

The network begins January 1, 2020 and will be offered to the more than 727,000 members of the Plan during Open Enrollment this fall. The network is designed to comply with access to care requirements for hospital coverage as well as build upon the Plan's success in recruiting 28,000 medical providers, including 5 hospitals, who are

committed to open contracts and lower prices.

The decision to create the network comes after more than a year of meetings and negotiations with providers. At a stakeholder meeting in July 2018, Treasurer Folwell asked medical providers to help cut $300 million from the $3.3 billion annual spend for the Plan.

The spending reductions are needed because medical and pharmaceutical spending is increasing 5 to 9 percent annually, while the Governor and General Assembly have provided only 4 percent increases year-over-year. At current spending rates, the Plan estimates that it will run out of money by 2023.

NC House Speaker Tim Moore supported passage of H.B. 184 Study State Health Plan Design to help all stakeholders achieve consensus on improving transparency and pricing in the State Health Plan. The Speaker said, “I am pleased that the State Health Plan came to an agreement with Atrium Health and other providers to avoid disruption of in-network services for teachers, state employees, and retirees as they continue collaborations toward improving access for patients, affordability for beneficiaries, and accountability for taxpayers.”

The 2019 Miss Fourth of July Pageant winners were Photogenic Miss Elizabeth Mull, Miniature Miss Karter Edwards, Tiny Miss Journi Carter (front row) and Majestic Miss Oakleigh Herring, Young Miss Meadow Parsons, Little Miss Savannah Hubbard, Bitsy Miss Addison Lackey (back row).

• Be wary of unsolicited communications. Package delivery companies will never contact you unsolicited via telephone call. Instead, if a package cannot be delivered, they usually will leave a note on your door. They may follow up with an email, but most official communications will be within your secure online account.

• Track your packages. Always keep track of your online purchases and expected deliveries. Request tracking numbers so you will know when each package is due to arrive. When you know what you are expecting, it will be harder for a scammer to fool you with the claim of a fake package delivery.

• Never give your personal information to strangers. Even when the caller is friendly, always use caution when asked for personal information. You can always hang up, look up the official customer service number, and directly contact the company to confirm their request.

Whenever possible, use the customer service contact information or chat function within your account at the company.

• Never click on links in unsolicited emails. Links in emails can download malware onto your computer.

Don’t click links in emails from people you don’t know or from companies who you have not asked to be contacted by. Be wary of official-looking email; popular brands can easily be spoofed.

HOWL

The Better Business Bureau warns that with so many people shopping online, package deliveries are on the rise… doubling since 2010.

Scammers, never missing a beat, are taking advantage of this to fool consumers into giving out their personal information.

How the Scam Works: You receive a call or an email from someone claiming to be your mail carrier or a parcel delivery service saying that they were unable to deliver a package to your home. If you don’t remember ordering anything that needs to be delivered, the caller may try to convince you the package is a gift from a friend or relative.

The caller may sound friendly and professional, making the scam harder to spot. The email messages also look legitimate - containing official logos and using professional language.

However, things get suspicious quickly. The caller will ask you to verify personal information or give them your credit card information to reschedule the delivery.

Email messages may ask you to click on a tracking link for your mystery package. When you click, you may download malware onto your computer that gives con artists access to any personal information and passwords. No matter the method of contact, the package doesn’t exist. Sharing your personal information puts you at risk for identity theft.
