County growing International Industry

230 Jobs coming to Grover, Shelby ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

Cleveland County is continuing to grow international industry with two economic development announcements by Governor Pat McCrory in Shelby Thursday that 230 new jobs are coming to Grover and Shelby with a total $112M investment by the two big industries.

Uniquetex, LLC, Inc., a Chinese-based textile industry, intends to build a 150-person workforce in Grover over the next five years and invest $31.6 million in a production facility, its first in the United States.

KSM Castings USA, expanding its manufacturing presence in Cleveland County, is one of Germany's most innovative companies

and is expanding its operations in Shelby, creating 80 new jobs during the coming five years. The German manufacturer of automotive components will invest $80 million at its state-of-theart facility in Shelby. With the announced expansion of its site the company will hire production workers, machine operators, pourers and casters among other employees. Salaries will vary by job but the average compensation will be $42,300 per year. Groundbreaking for the new expansion will be in July.

Uniquetex officials said they plan to buy the 322,000 square foot building occupied by the former Entertainment Distribution Center at 700 S. Battleground Avenue ( the stretch of area near Grover an-

nexed by the City of Kings Mountain) and make some improvements and plan to open with 4-6 production lines in 2017.

Uniquetex manufactures non woven fabrics for use by medical and health care providers as well as other industries. The company is a joint venture between Foshan Nanhai Beautiful Non Woven Co., Ltd., one of China's largest non woven textile businesses and Wenzhou Chaolong Textile Machinery Co. Ltd., Zhejiang, China-based developer of equipment and technologies for non woven textile manufacturing.

Uniquetex intends to hire 150 workers at its Grover area operations. Positions will include machine operators, technicians, customer

Travis Hodge, Chief Executive Officer of the Lunar Data Systems LLC HODGE of Kings Mountain, objects to the recent prayer policy adopted by the Cleveland County Board of Education and he spoke at Monday night's school board meeting about his objections.

“Government has an obligation to represent its people and I strongly object to taxpayer dollars used for propagation of a religious agenda used for

political purposes,'' he said .

Hodge told the board “ I am not anti-religious but I don't agree with government officials making a religious policy. It was irresponsible for this board to vote for this policy.''

“I am disappointed with this board, it is not your duty to push a religious agenda.”

The board recently adopted a policy to allow invocations at the monthly meetings by individuals instead of silent prayer but requires those wishing to pray the invocations to sign up in advance with See HODGE, Page 4A

“We also have a greater commitment to use technology with our web page and Facebook page,’’ said Mrs. Campbell.

Evangelistic Lutherans in Kings Mountain dreamed of a mission in the area for many years but the first organized step was not taken until Oct. 10, 1950 when 11 men met at Keeter’s Department Store and took their concern to Dr. F. L. Conrad, Sr., then president of the North Carolina Lutheran Synod. Paul McGinnis Sr. started obtaining the list of names of 50 people interested in organizing a mission church and the Rev. Vance Daniel

accepted the call to serve as mission developer Feb. 1, 1951. On Feb. 4, 1951 the first worship service was held at West School auditorium by 73 people.

Due to the building limitation posed by the Korean Conflict, the group decided to move quickly to hold groundbreaking Feb. 25, 1951 and 300 people witnessed the beginning of a new Lutheran mission. On Palm Sunday March 18, 1951 a total of 81 members were received as charter members and 12 more adults joined on May 13. A building fund was started with a one dollar donation.

Present members of the Church Council are Doyle Campbell, president; Ashley M. Robinson, vice-president; Cathey Moretz, secretary’ and Kimberly Spicer, treasurer; and members Mary Ann Gibson, Sam Harrod, Carolyn Stalls, Ellen Abernethy, Kathy Goforth and John McGinnis.

During its long history a total of 12 pastors have served the congregation.

On Oct. 10, 2010, the church council voted to recommend to the congregation that Resurrection join the newly-formed North American Lutheran Church Synod. The recommendation was defeated in a church vote on Nov 21, 2010 and as a result of this decision some members left Resurrection and formed Advent Lutheran Church, now a congregation of the NALC. Today, 65 years after her founding, Resurrection “continues to stand as a beacon on the hill, welcoming all to join her in mission and ministry in the Kings Mountain community,’’ the historian wrote for the 60th anniversary celebration in 2011. “ We invite the community to join us in this special day of celebration,’’ said Mrs. Campbell.

Resurrection Lutheran Church sponsors a community garden each year and several plots are available for people to plant and harvest vegetables.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY - One of the giving projects of the church is the prayer shawl ministry and many shawls are crocheted and given to the home bound and ill of the community.

WARREN: 101 votes in Primary From Page 1A now it’s her turn. Her big family, her extended church family, her neighbors and her friends at the Patrick Center love her.

“I used to pick and chop cotton, wash clothes on a scrub board and raised a dozen children, including two sets of twins,’’ she said Monday afternoon as she took a break in her comfortable apartment. “I don’t do any cooking now, Meals on Wheels is great, and my family and friends would never let me go hungry.

They look after me,’’ she

laughed.

The family also includes 43 grandchildren, 68 great-grandchildren and 58 great-great grandchildren.

Eight of Mary’s children were born at home. She delivered a couple of the children herself. She also worked at Clevemont Mill. “ When I was growing up I walked from the Dixon Community where we lived on Dewitt Hambright’s farm to Compact School and at 15 I married Clarence Warren in York, SC and my parents gave their blessings,’’ said Mary.

You can see Mary at the Patrick Senior Center most every day except Monday.

She admits to resting the day after the Sabbath because she spends most of the day in church.

Mary will celebrate birthday 102 in July and the celebration will probably be held at her church because when Mary has a birthday the crowd spills out from her apartment into the hall and pretty soon the entire population of the apartment complex join and friends come from all over the community.

In addition to the regular business of a lengthy meeting, board members commended Kings Mountain bus driver Brandy Donaldson and she received a standing ovation from those attending as well as accolades from the board.

School bus drivers are

the first people to greet students in the morning and the last say to say “see you tomorrow” in the afternoon and they take on the responsibility of making sure that boys and girls get to school and return home safely.

Donaldson helped a terrified child on a busy morning Jan. 27 at the bus stop when his parents were shot and his mother killed and

Many church theologians As she began to clean Jesus’ have long speculated that feet, how the sense of smell nard was used in the prepawas being triggered. We all ration of a body for burial have memories connected to in ancient times. So, little to our sense of smell. You walk Mary’s knowledge, she was into a bakery, and the scent of anointed and preparing Jesus’ baked bread transports you to body for death, or, did she your Grandmother’s kitchen; know?! or, you smell a flower, and it Lazarus being called back

to life had been witnessed by many of the persons sitting at the table with Jesus.

So death was still fresh in their minds. And as you all know, the Holy Spirit works as the Holy Spirit wills. Thus, it was not coincidence that Mary might have understood the role of Jesus as Messiah. But that’s a meditation for another time.

As Jesus and the disciples left and went on their way, Jesus was making his way ever to the cross. Scripture says that as the women went to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body after the crucifixion, they found an empty tomb. I wonder what spices they in them. I believe that they were so frightened, they dropped their vessels of spices while being con-

fronted with the truth that Jesus lives.

As their clothing was covered in the strong fragrances, they ran back to tell the disciples the news of Jesus’ resurrection. When the disciples heard the women speak, they could smell the fragrances of death on them; more so, they could smell the fragrances of victory and love.

Today, Kings Mountain, what do you smell like.

Do you smell like praise and love, like Christ…. Or do you smell like defeat, anger….. like the world. I pray you don’t smell odiferous, but rather flavorful wrapped in the love of Christ Almighty.

May the blessings of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit bless you all. Amen.

230 JOBS: coming to Grover, Shelby

CHINESE DELEGATION – Benny Denge, CEO/President of UniqueTex, left, is pictured with a delegation of Chinese visitors at last Thursday's industrial announcement that UniqueTex is coming to Grover and bringing more jobs to the area.

Photo by LIB STEWART From Page 1A service representatives and others. Salaries will vary by position but will average $36,313 per year. Cleveland County's overall average wage is currently $35,885 per year.

Cleveland Community College will offer training for the workforce.

“We are extremely excited to start up our first U. S. operations in Cleveland County, North Carolina. The combination of a skilled workforce, access for quality transportation infrastructure and the pro-business attitude of the community is what attracted us here,'' said Benny Denge, company CEO/ President.

The Governor said the project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant of up to $800,000 from the One North Carolina Fund.

The One NC Fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance standards to qualify for grant funds. One NC grants also require and are contingent on financial matches from local governments.

Since Governor McCrory took office in January of 2013, North Carolina has witnessed the net creation of more than 260,000 private-sector jobs.

“Cleveland County is helping to lead the pack in North Carolina's industrial comeback,'' said McCrory.

“Congratulations to this promising international company on its choice of Cleveland County for this important investment and to KSM Castings for its continued growth and success,'' said N.C.

Speaker of the House from Kings Mountain Tim Moore.

KSM Casting's expansion was made possible in part by a performance-based grant of up to $320,000 from the One North Carolina Fund. The fully-automated production facility of the German KSM castings group started production in 2014 and is already a success story.

A new building with 50,000 square feet will be built and will be occupied with Counter Pressure casting machines. Initially $27 million will be invested in new construction and for the first production machines for CPC processes KSM will hire 80 new employees between now and 2022. In total, KSM Shelby, will have made investments of $135 million and will by 2022 employ 269 employees at 120 Blue Brook Drive in Shelby.

Compared to conventional die casting processes, the CPC process is different. Here, the pressures of furnace and mold can be adjusted independently of one another so form filing and solidification of the melt under pressure is possible, according to CEO Franz Friedrich Butz. Additionally, KSM in Shelby is working together with local educational institutions on a concept for its own robot training center.

KSM operates eight production plants in Germany, Czech Republic, USA and China with a total of approximately 3, 300 employees.

Numerous state and local allies worked with EDPNC and N.C. Commerce in supporting Uniquetex's location plans and KSM Castings expansion. They include the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, Cleveland County, the Cleveland County Economic De-

velopment Partnership and Gardner-Webb University.

County Commissioner Eddie Holbrook said the two projects are an example of the county's vision over the past 10 years to get aggressive in terms of economic development. Since that goal was set he said the county has had around 60 project announcements with close to 5,000 new jobs and more than $5.6 billion in new capital investment, which does not include the $112 million in new investments announced by the Governor Thursday.

Prior to the announcements by Governor McCrory, Cleveland County Commissioners and City of Shelby officials held public hearings on incentive grants for the two economic development projects tabbed “Gold Knuckle” as progress on landing the new industry and assisting in expansion plans of an existing industry developed.

During the announcement presentations were made by the County of Cleveland ( Jason Falls, Chairman) and all commissioners and from City of Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony and all members of council to visiting delegations from China and Germany. The Governor also took the occasion to present state mementos, NC Shadow Boxes, to the visitors.

Kings Mountain and Grover officials at the industrial announcement and luncheon were Mayor Scott Neisler, City Manager Marilyn Sellers, Mayor pro tem Mike Butler, Planning Director Steve Killian and Grover Mayor Bill Willis.

Both mayors said they would welcome the new industry to the area and looked forward to the new jobs that both UniqueTex and KSM will bring to Cleveland County.

Program on 'Peonies' features Garden club meeting March 10 Ten members of the Town and Country Garden Club met at the Patrick House March 10.

After the reading of the Club Collect, hostess Connie Marlowe served a dinner of barbecue with all the trimmings and egg custard for dessert.

Ann Ward presented the program on “Peonies.” This lovely flower is native to Asia, Southern Europe and Western North America.

Peonies are outrageously beautiful in bloom with lush foliage all summer long.

These perennials have a long life. The plants require little maintenance as long as they are planted properly.

They do not respond well to transplantation. The rules for success with the peony are simple: full sun and well-drained soil. They do well in cold winters because they need chilling for bud formation. After the peony blooms, its bushy clump of glossy green leaves last all summer and then turns purplish or gold in the fall.

Peonies can be left undisturbed for many years but occasionally it become necessary to move established plants. Peonies shaded by large tees or shrubs should be transplanted to a sunny spot to improve flowering.

Large vigorous plants can be dug and divided for propagation purposes.

September is the best time to transplant established peonies. Begin by cutting the peony stems near ground level. After digging up the plant, gently shake the clump to remove loose soil from the root system. Using a large knife, divide the clump into sections. Each division should

have at least three to five buds ( eyes) and a good root system. Small divisions will require several years to develop into attractive plants.

When planting a peony, dig a hole large enough to comfortably accommodate the plants' root system. Position the peony plant in the hole so the buds are one to two inches below the soil surface. If planted more than two inches deep, the peonies often fail to bloom satisfactorily. Fill the hole with soil, firming the soil around the plant as you back fill. Then water thoroughly.

If planting more than one peony, space them three or four feet apart.

In late fall, November to early December, apply a four to six inch layer of mulch over the newly planted peonies. Weed-free straw and pine needles are great for mulching, which prevents repeated freezing and thawing of the soil.

Remove mulch in the early spring before growth begins.

If your soil is poor the time to apply fertilizer, such as bone meal, compost or well-rotted manure, is early summer, after the peonies have bloomed and you have deadheaded. Don't fertilize more than every few years.

If the stems are not strong enough to support the large blooms, three legged metal peony rings that allow the plant to grow through the center of the rings can be used.

Deadhead peony blossoms as soon as they begin to fade, cutting to a strong leaf so that the stem doesn't stick out of the foliage. Cut the foliage to the ground in the fall to avoid any over-

wintering disease.

Peonies are generally hardy, but they are prone to Verticillium wilt, ring-spot virus, tip blight, stem rot, left blotch, Japanese beetle and nematodes.

Many gardeners wonder why so many ants crawl on the peony buds. They are eating nectar in exchange for attacking bud-eating pests. Never spray the ants.

They are helping you nurture peonies to bloom.

Peonies make wonderful cut flowers lasting more than a week. For best results, cut long stems when the buds are fairly tight.

A question and answer session followed the very informative program.

Dot Dixon won the drawing – a lovely vase for peonies or other flowers.

President Connie Bell began the business meeting by displaying a pine cone decorated to appear as a zinnia. Pictures of Easter arrangements were displayed.

“What to do in the Garden Now” was presented by Bell who said that it's time to plant broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. Chrysanthemums need dividing and rose bushes and butterfly bushes can be pruned.

Susan Gibson presented the treasurer's report and Secretary Glenda Crawford read the minutes.

Members discussed a beautification project at the US Post Office and will decide on using new plants and shrubs for the flower beds outside the local Post Office in April.

Cheryl Butler will be hostess for the club's April meeting at the Patrick House.

GOOGLE GLASSES: A new Way of Learning very easy to work and had very good graphics to make virtual reality seem as lifelike as we can get it to be in its early stages. This device would make students more interested in the subject being taught and could help students who learn visually to get a better understanding of what he or she is is being taught in a classroom. I personally am a visual learner and I felt it was much easier to remember fact about a location in this simulation. I think this equipment would be useful because, for example in Social Studies you could be leaning about when the Declaration of Independence was being signed the teacher could tell the student to put on the goggles and show them how and when all these events took place.

A truly marvelous thing that we couldn't do until now.

While nothing replaces hopping on the bus for a field trip, Expeditions provide an unparalleled opportunity for supplemental learning. Seeing the brilliant ways teachers integrate VR in their classes has taught us so much already.

A box arrives with everything you need to travel: a tablet for the teacher, and Cardboard viewers and phones for every student.

Next, the teacher selects a destination, and the entire classroom jumps there automatically. Hi my name is Chloe Cooke and I am a student at Kings Mountain Middle School. I am here to tell you about how our students here at KMMS got to experience virtual reality through Google Glasses that Google brought in for us to use.

This is a new product that allows teachers to take their classes on virtual field trips, immersing students in experiences that bring abstract concepts to life and giving students a deeper understanding of the world beyond the classroom. There are many different places to go with the glasses. We went to canyons, mountains, Antarctica, and even underwater in virtual reality. This product helps teach kids on a new level. It lets them experience

what they are learning about in the classroom by giving the user first hand experience on what is being taught in the class. When we went to the virtual location our teacher read off a tablet to describe and teach about the climate, where it's location is, how this place formed and how it affects the animals and surrounding area.

These trips are collections of virtual reality panoramas — 360° photo spheres, 3D images and video, ambient sounds — annotated with details, points of interest, and questions that make them easy to integrate into curriculum already used in schools. The Wildlife Conservation Society, PBS, the American Museum of Natural History, the Planetary Society, and the Palace of Versailles contributed to developing the curriculum for students.

I feel very fortunate to be apart of this experience. It was truly riveting to see all these places and learn what it would be like to actually be there. The device was

New greenhouse a welcome addition to Life Enrichment Center The Kings Mountain Life Enrichment Center, 222 Kings Mountain Blvd., has a new building that has the center’s participants blooming with excitement. A new greenhouse at the facility was opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 11, 2016.

“When we started a horticultural therapy program three years ago, the idea of building a greenhouse was just a little seed,” says Horticultural Therapist Beth Bruno. “In the three years since, the seed was watered and tended, and grew into the realization of a dream. Many people in the community donated funds, time and energy to help make it happen.”

The greenhouse is now filled with beautiful plants, a bubbling water garden, a large work table and chairs for participants to gather around.

“Horticultural therapy is a time-proven practice,” Bruno says. “Gardens and gardening activities have been used for therapeutic effect since ancient times. A greenhouse is a

Kings Mountain Life Enrichment Center plant-rich environment which encourages and facilitates interaction with the healing elements of nature.”

Bruno leads activities in the greenhouse that include planting seeds for the spring garden, watering plants, potting cuttings and reminiscing about gardens past.

The greenhouse has proven to be a magical place, Bruno says. “It brings a sense of calm and at the same time creates a sense of wonder and curiosity for the participants. Everyone who enters the greenhouse feels

the effect.”

Bruno says that many participants are life-long gardeners and that the greenhouse offers them an opportunity to garden in the winter months when gardening outdoors is impossible.

“It offers a warm, inviting space to interact with plants when the temperatures outside are unwelcoming,” she says. “The greenhouse has proven to be a real benefit to the participants and has taken the horticultural therapy program to a whole new level.”

First ever 'Beta Bowl' collects nearly 6,500 cans for families in need

From left to right are: Caitlin Floyd and Tiffany Fletcher, Bessemer City High School teachers and Beta Club co-sponsors; Melissa Heilig, Forestview High School media specialist and Beta Club sponsor; and Bessemer City High Beta Club officers Victoria Beam, Kelsey Griffin, and Chyna Pollard. (photo submitted) BETA BOWL AT BCHS – Caitlin Floyd and Tiffany Fletcher, BCHS teachers and Beta Club co-sponsors Melissa Heilig, Forest View High School media specialist and Beta Club sponsor and BCHS Beta Club officers Victoria Beam, Kelsey Griffin and Chyna Pollard, left to right, are pictured as Bessemer City High students earned a trophy and raised 6, 455 canned food items for needy families.

The students at Bessemer City High School may have earned the trophy in the first-ever Beta Bowl, but the real winners were the Gaston County service organizations who received 6,455 canned food items for families in need.

A competition between the Beta Clubs at Bessemer City, Forestview and North Gaston high schools challenged students to see how many cans of food they could collect in just one week. With a final total of 2,822 cans, Bessemer City High School came in first place. Their cans stocked

the in-school food pantry, and most of the items were sent to the Bessemer City Crisis Center.

“I was really pleased with our students and the initiative they took,” said Beta Club co-sponsor Caitlin Floyd, an English teacher.

To collect the cans, the Beta Club organized a school-wide competition with the winning first period class earning a free breakfast. Kelsey Griffin, club secretary, said the competition was a fun challenge.

“Even though we’re a 1A school, we beat two 3A schools,” she said, adding that she hopes more schools will compete in the Beta Bowl next year. “That way, we can donate more and make more of an impact.”

Bessemer City’s Beta Club focuses on developing students as leaders, explained Tiffany Fletcher, club co-sponsor and a science teacher. While the club does in-school service activities together, she and Floyd also require students

to complete 10 hours of service outside the school.

“They are learning how to find and organize their own volunteer opportunities,” she said.

The Beta Bowl was initiated by Melissa Heilig, Beta Club sponsor and media specialist at Forestview High School. Last year, Forestview and Ashbrook competed against one another in a canned food drive. This year, Heilig invited Beta Clubs at other high schools to join the collection efforts.

Her club at Forestview collected 2,578 cans, which were distributed between Gaston County Cancer Services, the Shelter of Gaston County, and Crisis Assistance Ministry.

“Now that we have established the Beta Bowl as annual event, I’m hoping we will get more schools involved next year,” Heilig said.

For this year, the Beta Bowl trophy is making its home at Bessemer City High School.
