Seven arrested in drug round-up

Seven people were arrested in the initial phase of the annual narcotics roundup ALLISON by the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department. The operation, “Spring Clean 3-0,’’ is targeting mid-to-high level narcotics dealers who live in or visited Cleveland County for the purpose of selling drugs, according to a news release from the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office.
MORRIS Many of the targets in this investigation were identified as problems for various neighborhoods within Cleveland County through citizen drug complaints. Sheriff Alan Norman said the Sheriff’s Office will release the names of people who are arrested each week on Friday and will continue the operation until all suspects are arrested. “The Sheriff’s Office will continue to make drug investigations a high priority. Statistics have shown for years that drugs use leads to other crimes in particular breaking and entering and larcencies where users have to steal to fund their habit,’’ said Nor-

J o e l Shores was elected to serve as chair of the Cleveland County GOP at the party’s county convention on JOEL SHORES Saturday, March 11. Shores served on the Republican Executive Committee in the mid-1990’s and on the Shelby City Council for eight years, from 2005 to 2013, serving as Mayor Pro Tem from 2009 to 2013. Although the city council seat was a non-partisan position, Shores said he has always held conservative values. ‘’I look forward to the challenge,” Shores said. “I believe this last election where all Republicans won in Cleveland County is the true statement about how the county feels. I have had many tell me the Demo-
cratic Party has left them, and it’s not what it used to be. To those who feel that way I say, ‘join us.’” “As I said at the convention there are over 500 minorities that are registered Republican in Cleveland County. The Republican Party has got a stigma attached to it that it’s the rich, white man’s party, which it is not. I want all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability, to be a part of this party. My goal is to communicate who we really are, not who people think we are. The draw to the Republican Party, to me, has been its Judeo-Christian and family values and its belief in limited government and fiscal responsibility.” Don Allen was elected to continue serving as GOP vice chair and Pam Keller and Dawn Bowland were elected to serve as treasurer and secretary, respectively.

Neighbors watch with interest Equipment going to NTE Neighbors along Dixon School Road have watched with interest the numerous pieces of equipment being transported recently to NTE, the new power plant under construction on Gage Road, off Dixon School Road at I-85. Mark Hughes watched as a truck checking height of electric wires, a transporter and workers with hot sticks passed his house and submitted photos, along with a photo of the mail carrier in his driveway waiting on the transporter to pass by. “I didn’t think anything was supposed to stop the US Mail,’’ said Hughes. Since the transporter
took up almost the road the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department escorted the transporter. Hughes explained that the truck had a fiber glass pole to check the height of the cable and power lines before the heat recovery steam generator module reaches them. Even though the power company replaced power poles and raised power and cable lines workers still had to use fiberglass hot sticks to raise the lines so the module could go under the lines going to the Hughes home. The transporter is towed by a “Go Hopper.” Six wheels on the “Go Hopper” are driven by DC series
motors. The DC electricity is produced by a DC generator turned by a diesel engine manufactured in Germany by Mercedes. The DC series motors provide the high starting torque required to start the transporter moving. The “Go Hopper” is basically a small diesel-electric locomotive that runs on a road instead of rails. The transporter has a top speed of 5mph, however Hughes said it crept up the hill from Mill Creek to his house. “I could hear the DC motors whining long before the transporter reached the house,’’ said Mark.
A Sheriff’s Department escort provides the transporter an escort to the new NTE plant.
The mail man who delivers mail on Dixon School Road waits in the Hughes driveway for equipment to pass enroute to the new NTE plans.

■ MEDITATION
Lenten service today
The Right Recipe: Part 3 of 6
Rev. Ron Caulder, President of the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association and pastor of East Side Baptists Church, will speak on “The Ears of Christ,’’ at the Lenten service (today,
As we continue our Lenten devotion series, I want to ask you a question. I’ve been talking Rev. Joshua a b o u t Morgan this idea Advent Lutheran Church of turning one’s heart back to God. How might our daily actions reflect that return to God? In my Lenten series, I’ve titled it “ The Perfect Recipe” because God has given us all we need- all things have been revealed to us in the Gospels, through Jesus Christ, by the
moving of the Holy Spirit. So, back to my question, what might those actions look like. First, you might say, Pastor Joshua, you’re starting to get into dark territory talking about “works righteousness” or “those things that buy us into heaven” and I’ll simply respond, “we do those good things because it’s a byproduct of our faith. Matthew 22: 37-40 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” LOVE seems to be an important theme when dealing
in the realm of God and what it means to be about His work. When returning to the Lord our God (Joel 2:13) the bases of my writings, I’ve been posing all types of conundrums- like Moses in the wilderness with those Isrelalites who made false gods in their image when left on their own too long. But back to today’s point. When we talk about being people who are sharing the message, the hope, the love, the grace, the powerful story of redemption of The Cross of Christ we can’t simply tell the story, but we must live the story. Love your God and Love your Neighbor! That’s simple enough, right? Well, sometimes that’s easier said than done. We are selfish, self-cen-
tered individuals, left on our own wonder into things that we should not, so much that Jesus had to come and rescue us (John 3:16). The point is, it’s hard! It’s hard to love when you don’t feel that you’re getting the love back. But thank God, we serve one who has unconditional love for us, poor sinners, and by His Grace, we are set free to be ever living, busy, living, active and mighty (Martin Luther)! So, in the remaining three weeks of Lent, let’s see how this perfect recipe take shape. May the blessings of Almighty God, Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit be with you now and forever more! Amen!

No Pot of Gold but they had fun building leprechaun traps Each year the Kindergarten students at West Elementary School put their creative minds in action to design and build leprechaun traps. It is said if you catch a leprechaun on Saint Patrick’s Day he has to take you to his pot of gold. Alas, they had no luck as the leprechauns just made a mess and ran away. Better luck next year!

Davidson High’s 1950 state finalist basketball team will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame on Sat., May 6 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Team members are, front row, left to right, Carl Rhodes, Eddie Kennedy, LC Burris and Clyde Taylor. Second row, Anglee Perry, Clayton Adams, John Blalock, Henry Carroll and Carl Adams. Third row Jimmy Bennix, Ikie Jammerson, Roosevelt Adams, Frank Burris and Coach J.A. Gibson. Not pictured, June Gamble.
1950 Davidson High basketball team to be inducted in Sports Hall of Fame (First in a series on the 2017 Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame inductees. Tickets are on sale from Hall of Fame committee members at $15 apiece. They can also be purchased at the door). Sixteen years before Kings Mountain schools were integrated, a men’s basketball team from the all-Black Davidson High School had one of the best years in KM sports history. The team, coached by Davidson Principal J.A. Gibson, made it all the way to the North Carolina High School Athletic Conference championship game in Raleigh.
Davidson lost the title game 42-23 to a Ridgeview team that won the third of its four straight state championships from 1948-51. Black schools were not classified during the time. Davidson, which had a very small student body, competed locally against teams such as Gastonia Highland, West Charlotte, Second Ward, Belmont Reid High and many others; and on the Regional and state level against teams like Laurinburg Institute, which produced UNC Chapel Hill’s first Black basketball player, Charlie Scott; as well as perennial state powers Winston-Salem Atkins, Rocky Mount, Wilmington,
Greensboro Dudley and Burlington Jordan Sellers. Davidson’s home games were played on a dirt court off Parker Street. When they played away games against larger schools like West Charlotte, Hickory and Second Ward, and later in the regional and state tournaments, they played in a gym. Only three players from the 1950 team are still living but all three - Carl Adams of Waco, Frank Burris of Kings Mountain and June Gamble of Washington DC - plan to be in attendance at the Hall of Fame ceremony. Burris recalled that Davidson earned its way to the state championship by winning the Regional Tourna-
ment in Hickory. The state tournament was played at Shaw University in Raleigh. One of the Davidson players, deceased KMHS basketball coach John Blalock, recalled several years ago when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame that the trip to Raleigh probably got him a college scholarship. He was seen by coaches from Livingstone College in Salisbury, and he later played four years there. He also played and excelled in football, noting that he had never put on a football uniform before going to Livingstone. Burris said Davidson’s dirt court was regulation size.
“We had two goals, just like they do today, but dust would be flying everywhere,” he noted. “We started the games at about two o’clock in the afternoon, and we had a girls and boys team. “It seemed like the goals were really high,” he added, “but I guess that’s because I was short.” Burris started at guard. The other starters were Blalock, Eddie Kennedy, Carl Adams and June Gamble. Other members of the team were Carl Rhodes, LC Burris, Clyde Taylor, Anglee Perry, Clayton Adams, Henry Carroll, Jimmie Bennix, Ikie Jammerson, and Roosevelt Adams.
“J.A. Gibson was the principal and coach,” he noted. “We would line off the court with lime and everybody would come out there and watch us play. I played four years in the dirt. When it rained everybody would go inside until it quit, and then go back out and finish the game. “We’d play anybody,” he added. “We’d play big schools like West Charlotte, Johnson C. Smith, Morganton and Asheville. “There were two referees, and it seemed like they missed a lot of calls,” he laughed. If it’s any consolation, there are three referees now and they still miss them!
Pats beat Burns, Lincolnton KINGS MOUNTAIN MOUNTAINEERS ATHLETE
OF THE
WEEK
MAGGIE LLOYD SOCCER ©CommunityFirstMedia
Kings Mountain Middle’s baseball team won two more games last week to improve to 2-0 in the Tri-County Eastern Division and 5-0 overall. The Patriots opened division play Tuesday with a 6-0 victory over Burns, and followed that up with a 16-0, five-inning win over Lincolnton on Thursday. It was a pitcher’s duel at Burns with both pitchers going the distance and striking out 18 batters apiece while issuing no walks. KM’s Clint Turner allowed only three hits, all to opposing pitcher Cade Hoyle. KM did not commit an error. Turner did a great job locating his pitches and staying ahead of batters. The Patriots collected nine hits off Hoyle, and also took advantage of two Burns errors. KM took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Turner’s RBI single scored Jaxson Bolin, who had reached on an error and stole second.

(Photo by Gary Smart) That was the only run until the top of the seventh when the Patriots struck for five runs. Austin Brown led off with a single. An out later, he moved to third on a hit by Brayden Garris. Garris stole second and
Bolin was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Turner’s second hit of the game scored two runs and left runners on second and third. Boone Cartee delivered a double down the third base line to run the score to 5-0. Cartee stole sec-
ond and scored on Brandon Bullock’s pinch hit single. Turner’s two hits led the Patriots at the plate. Bolin, Cartee, Bullock, Trey Crawford, Devin Pressley, Brown

Losses to Crest, RS drop Mountaineers to tie for 5th in SMAC Kings Mountain High’s baseball team took a nose-dive in the South Mountain Athletic Conference last week with losses to Crest Tuesday and RS Central Friday. The Mountaineers went into the week tied for first place with a 3-1 record, but the two losses dropped them all the way to a tie for fifth place with a 3-3 conference and 3-5 overall mark. Hitting continued to plague the Mountaineers last Tuesday at Crest and the Chargers routed them 10-1 to move into a tie for first place in the SMAC with East Rutherford and RS Central. Kings Mountain, which handed East its only loss in the first conference game, went into the game with a share of the lead. Righthander Riley Cheek held the Mountaineers to just three hits before leaving the mound in

Kings Mountain threatened in the fifth when Palmer Davis broke Cheek’s no-hit bid and the Mountaineers eventually loaded the bases on a walk and hit batsman. But Crest got out of the inning on a force play. Crest built a 6-0 lead after five before KM finally scored in the top of the sixth on John Bell’s single and a double by John

Harmon Melton. Against RS Central Friday night at Lancaster Field, the Mountaineers failed to capitalize on some early scoring opportunities and fell to the Hilltoppers 4-1. While senior righthander Madisyn Bolin was putting the Hilltoppers down in order in the first two innings – including striking out all three batters he faced in the second – the Mountaineers were leaving two men on base in the first and one in the second. RS Central
broke into the scoring column with an unearned run in the third to take a 1-0 lead and the visitors went on to score two more runs on two KM errors and a single by Jake Laughter. The Hilltoppers inceassed their lead to 4-0 in the fifth when Chase Harris led off with a double to left and later scored on a perfectly executed safety squeeze bunt by Keaton Snethen. KM’s lone run came in the bottom of the fifth when Palmer Davis doubled to center and scored on John Bell’s slicing double down the right field line. The Mountaineers finished with six hits. Davis and John Bell had two apiece and Hunter Cash and David Bell had one each. All four RS runs were charged to Bolin, who suffered his first loss of the season. Alec Seaward came on in the fifth inning.
JVs beat RS Central 5-3 Kings Mountain High’s JV baseball team scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to defeat RS Central 5-3 Friday at Lancaster Field. The visitors grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the second but KM battled back to tie the game after three. David Willis singled home Silas Price in the second and the Mountaineers scored on a wild pitch in the third.
RS regained the lead at 3-2 in the fourth, but KM responded in the bottom of the inning to tie it again. This time, Bryce Fisher singled home Ricky Wright. KM’s DJ Bagwell doubled home Blake Broome and Willis in the bottom of the fifth for the winning runs. Fisher got the win on the mound. He pitched the final three innings, allowing no runs
and striking out two. Joe Ruffalo pitched the first three innings, giving up three runs and fanning four. Bagwell led the plate attack with two hits. Seth Kennedy, Fisher, Zach Crawford, Willis and Wright added one each. Kings Mountain travels to Forestview this afternoon.

Unbeaten KMMS kickers defeat Burns, Lincolnton Kings Mountain Middle School’s girls soccer team remained undefeated last week with victories over Burns and Lincolnton. The Lady Patriots opened Tri-County East Division play last Tuesday with a 2-0 victory over Burns. Sage Wright scored both goals, assisted by Emma Goff and Cheyenne Ernst. Kennedy Barnes recorded the shutout in goal. Rece Guy and Maggie
Buchanan led the KM defense and Katherine Martin and Emma Goff led the midfield. On Thursday, the Lady Patriots turned back Lincolnton 8-2. Goff and Wright led the way as each recorded a hat trick. Wright assisted on two of Goff’s and the other was unassisted. Goff returned the favor, assisting two of Wright’s goals. Martin had the other.
Martin scored a goal on a penalty kick and Savannah Poston scored her first goal of the season, assisted by Toni Gunderson. Leading the Patriot defense were Guy, Buchanan and Marlee Arnold. The Lady Patriots were scheduled to host North Lincoln yesterday. They go to East Lincoln Thursday and host West Lincoln on March 28.

PATRIOTS: With wins against Burns and Lincolnton, boys now 5-0 From Page 1B and Garris all had a hit apiece. “Austin Brown’s pinch hit single was the spark we needed to get things going,”
said KM Coach Monty Deaton. “There was great pitching by both pitchers.” Against Lincolnton Thursday Devin Pressley, Boone Cartee, Jaxson Bolin and Chris Ruffalo combined for a one-hitter and 12 strike-
outs. Trey Crawford led the team in hitting, going 4-for-4 with four runs scored. Getting two hits each were Bolin, Cartee and Ruffalo. Peyton Fisher, Brandon Bullock, Charlie Melton and
Jamie Wilson added one hit apiece. Kings Mountain was scheduled to host North Lincoln yesterday and will go to East Lincoln Thursday. West Lincoln comes to KMMS next Tuesday.

Letter To Editor If you've ever felt compelled to do something that you hope will have a positive impact then you know how I feel as I write this: Smokers, know that I smoked for about 40 plus years. I've quit for 20 years now and I think my history gives me both expertise and the right to speak up and out and I hope you will agree. I know that non-smokers will like this, but I want you to know it is directed to current smokers. I know your addiction. It is all consuming. It helps calm you. It makes morning acceptable. It is an after meal delight. It fills a longing and hunger. It is part of you. Yet it is damaging you in ways you can't possibly understand, but more than that it is damaging your family, your friends, your acquaintances and even people you don't know. But you say, “I don't smoke in restaurants, I don't smoke in public places, I only smoke in my car and in my home.” I don't doubt you. What you as a smoker may not be aware of is the third hand (yes I said third hand) smoke on your clothing, your hair, your car interior and your home interior. I'm not just spouting about the smell although the smell is bad enough to be repulsive to non-smokers and even worse to ex-smokers. Worse than that though, it is extremely dangerous. Recent studies have shown that third hand smoking contains as many poisons as 1st and 2nd hand smoke and IS detrimental to health, especially to someone already prone to respiratory problems, infants and young children. In a closed area like a car or a home the cigarette smoke and all its many poisons accumulate on every surface. Everyone, except the smoker or smokers can smell it, but again that is
not the worst part. It won't clean off the surfaces. The more the area is smoked in, the more layers of the poisons build up. It will stay months, if not years after no one smokes any longer in the area. There is concern from the medical community that third hand smoke has as much, if not more, detrimental effect as first and second hand smoke and can cause acute bronchitis, sinusitis, other respiratory ailments as well as cancer. It is especially concerning for children's health and even I.Q. and can lead to short and long term health issues for the young. It's difficult to quit smoking. One of the hardest things I've ever done. You can get help, and it may take more than one effort but you CAN quit. Consider your children, your family, your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers and others. If you're not concerned about your own health be compassionate and concerned about theirs. The following quote is from Scientific American, but much more info is available from places like the Mayo Clinic and other reputable sources: Why is third-hand smoke dangerous? The 2006 surgeon general's report says there is no risk-free level of tobacco exposure…. There are 250 poisonous toxins found in cigarette smoke. One such substance is lead. Very good studies show that tiny levels of exposure are associated with diminished IQ. My hope is that you will give serious thought to my request for you to STOP smoking. God Bless, Beauford Burton Kings Mountain, NC
GWU School of Education Classes Collaborate with Teachers and Students at Washington Elementary By NIKI BLISS-CARROLL Spaecial to the Herald
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – The Gardner-Webb University School of Education is working with a local elementary school in Cleveland County, N.C., to provide meaningful learning opportunities for future teachers prior to their student-teaching experience. Each week, three GWU classes travel to Washington Elementary School near Waco, N.C., during their normal instructional time on Mondays and Tuesdays. Dr. Lane Wesson’s Language Arts Methods class, Dr. Cindy McKinney’s Fine Arts Integration class, and Dr. Jason Parker’s Social Studies Methods class are each involved in the collaboration, which helps provide muchneeded classroom exposure to pre-service teachers well in advance of their 16-week student-teaching experience. As GWU School of Education Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs, Parker believes the partnership is proving to be tremendously valuable for teaching

majors. “Clinical experiences are already built into every course in the education curriculum,” Parker noted. “But this expanded partnership offers a comprehensive, upclose interaction between our majors and the students and teachers at a school prior to the student-teaching semester.” Gardner-Webb alum Dr. Chris Bennett serves as principal at Washington, and he agrees that the partnership has been mutually beneficial. “Our students have enjoyed working with the Gardner-Webb students,” Bennett offered. “Our focus is on small-group work, and the School of Education students have jumped in during their time here to help students grow and become more successful. Beyond the curriculum, the student-to-student interaction furthers the relationship building through formal and informal conversations.” GWU students have received observational and hands-on experience with guided reading and math groups, and they have witnessed a variety of methods for integrating the arts in a range of subjects. In addition, the partnership includes professional development for teachers, presented by Parker and Dr. Kelly Clark, assistant professor of education.
Leaders at Washington Elementary and Gardner-Webb expect that the partnership will continue to grow and evolve as it is further refined. “This will be a continual work in progress as we provide real-world experiences for the GWU students and help them to become great educators—hopefully here in Cleveland County,” Bennett stated. “We are very appreciative of their work with our students during the course of the week. Our teachers have enjoyed the professional development opportunities offered each month and we are looking forward to watching the partnership continue to grow. We have great students, staff and a wonderful school community, and we are very appreciative of Gardner-Webb’s work with us as we seek to become one of the top schools in the area.” Parker shares Bennett’s sentiments. “The GWU School of Education appreciates our partnership with Cleveland County Schools,” he shared. “We are grateful for their willingness to provide valuable clinical experiences to our pre-service teachers as they work to acquire useful techniques and strategies for the classroom and develop stronger skills in communication and personal relationships.”

Return of Spring perfect time to hike By KELLY ARCHER Special to The Herald
The return of spring is the perfect time to get outside and check out what’s blooming across the state. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross) and North Carolina State Parks today announced the return of Hike NC, the free hiking program that makes it easier for participants to hike and enjoy nature regardless of age or experience level. Hike NC’s spring season offers a series of more than 60 guided hikes throughout the state. Hikes give North Carolinians who might otherwise be hesitant about exploring the outdoors an opportunity to be active and focus on their health and well-being. Hike NC debuted in fall 2016 and is back because of overwhelming participation across North Carolina. Hike NC makes hiking convenient and achievable for
all North Carolinians. There’s something for everyone, with hikes designed for all ages, fitness levels and hiking experience. All hikes are free, and each hike is led by a trained guide or park ranger. The guided hikes help participants: • Try a new form of physical activity individually or with friends and family members • Take a break from busy schedules to enjoy the natural wonders of North Carolina • Experience spring beauty in North Carolina’s state parks and nature preserves • Explore the outdoors with convenience and ease without the need for any special equipment “Hike NC’s fall launch was a success, with more than 800 people across the state signing up for a guided hike,” said Kathy Higgins, Blue Cross’ vice president of Corporate Affairs. “We want North Carolinians to discover
what spring has to offer on the trails with friends and family. Hike NC not only gets people outside and active but also allows them to explore their breathtaking state in a unique way.” Hike NC is part of Blue Cross’ efforts to promote health and well-being among North Carolinians. Regular physical activity is shown to help control weight, improve mental health, increase stability and lower the risks of heart disease and cancer. Suggested hikes: March 26 at 2 p.m.- South Mountain State Park, High Shoals Falls Loop. This is a 2.7-mile hike moderate too strenuous with estimated time 2.5 hours, April 1 at 9 a.m. – Carolina Thread Trail, 12-mile Creek Greenway, 3.5 miles, easy to moderate, two hours. April 2 at 10 a.m. – Crowder’s Mountain State Park, Boulders Access, 3 miles-two-hour hike, easy.
This week marks the beginning of SPRING! Enjoy a hike at North Carolina State Parks, Kings Mountain Gateway Trail, Crowder’s Mountain State Park or to the top of Kings Mountain.

Escort Services That Can Help Seniors With the Rigors of Travel Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any services that help seniors with the rigors of traveling? My youngest daughter is getting married in a few months and would love to have my 82-year old mother attend, but she needs help flying across the country. Searching Daughter
navigating busy terminals and hotel lobbies and much more.
Dear Searching, Traveling can be daunting under the best circumstances but for elderly seniors, those with disabilities, or those recovering or rehabilitating from an illness or injury, it can seem particularly overwhelming or unmanageable.
But be aware that these services aren’t cheap. You will pay for the travel companion’s tickets, the companion’s hotel room if necessary, meals, incidentals and fees for the service. The price to accompany a client on a plane trip within the United States – including the companion fees and travel costs for all parties – can range anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 or more for coach airfare. Business or first class would cost more.
Fortunately, there are a number of companies that provides traveling companion/escort services to help older adults with the rigors of travel. Whether it’s seniors going on vacation or grandparents wanting to join their far-off families for weddings and graduations, travel companions help clients who need help moving through airports, managing luggage,
Some companion services even provide personal care like medication reminders, dressing, bathing and feeding. And for those with specific medical needs, traveling nurse services are available too.
To locate a travel companion service in your area, search online for “senior travel companion” or “senior travel escort,” followed by your mom’s city or state. Or use an experienced national service like Flying Companions (FlyingCompanions.com) or
FirstLight Home Care (FirstLightHomeCare.com), which has a national network of franchises that provides in-home care for seniors, and offers travel companion programs in about one-third of its 130 franchises. Or, for medical travel companions do a search for “traveling nurse escort” or “medical travel companion,” or checkout Travel Care & Logistics (YourFlightNurse.com), which provides registered nurses as escorts. If, however, your mom doesn’t require a lot of assistance, or if you can’t afford a travel escort, consider asking a trusted family member or friend that has some air travel experience. Questions to Ask If you’re interested in hiring a travel companion service to help your mom, there are a number of things you need to check into to ensure you get the right escort. First, if you mom requires personal or medical care while traveling, find
out if the escort is trained to manage her healthcare needs. What sort of medical certifications do they have? (Nursing credentials? C.P.R. training? etc.) Also, find out how many trips the companion has taken with clients. Have they completed trips with travelers like your mom? How long has the travel service company been in business? What is the company’s safety record? And what sort of insurance does it carry, and what and who does it cover? Also, get a quote breaking down exactly what you’ll be required to pay, in addition to the companion’s fees. And, get a list of two or three clients/ references who has used their service and call them. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

DRAFT of Public Hearing Notice Osage Mill Redevelopment Project NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PURSUANT TO NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTE 158-7.1 The City Council of Bessemer City intends, subject to public comment at the public hearing for which notice is hereby given, pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 158-7.1; to approve eligibility specifically for the OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, identified as the building located at 201 S. Twelfth Street in Bessemer City with a property identification number of 121368, to participate in the County’s Local Investment Grant Program as a one-time exception. The actual qualifying Local Investment Grant to be provided will be determined by the actual value of the net new taxable investment as determined by the Gaston County Tax Assessor. This is not in any way to be construed or interpreted as a general eligibility for similar type projects in other areas of the City. The City Council believes that by providing a one-time eligibility for the Local Investment Grant Program that this project will stimulate and stabilize the local economy and promote business resulting in the creation of new jobs in the County and especially in Bessemer City. OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT plans to invest approximately $38,600,000 which includes the purchase of the site and redevelopment of the facility for commercial and residential uses. The Gaston County Tax Assessor will determine the final value for all net new taxable investment in real estate and machinery & equipment placed into service by the OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. The final assessed value of the redeveloped existing real estate may be lower than the capital expense made by the OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT for the project. The OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT must take this factor into account before potentially assigning a value of any local incentive grant into any type of facility budget or pro forma report. The aforementioned one-time eligibility for the Local Investment Grant Program being offered by the County for OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT will be used to provide any required local match for a successful application in one or more State or Federal programs which may be awarded to OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. A three party economic development agreement (EDA), consisting of the City of Bessemer City, Gaston County and the legal entity of the OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, will be produced and executed. This EDA will provide the details of this one-time eligibility and will also include a date of April 15, 2022 by which time the legal entity of the OSAGE MILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT must have applied for the appropriate level grant contained in the current Local Investment Grant Program, a copy of which will be included as an exhibit in the EDA. The City Council of Bessemer City shall hold a public hearing on the City’s proposed incentive agreement at 7:00 o’clock p.m., at City Hall, 132 West Virginia Avenue, Bessemer City, NC 28016 on Monday, April 10, 2017 at which time any person may be heard regarding the project. The City Council invite all interested persons to attend and present their views. DRAFT of Public Hearing Notice Osage Mill Redevelopment Project Any person wishing to comment in writing, prior to the public hearing on the proposed conveyance, may do so by forwarding comments to the Deputy City Clerk, Hydeia Hayes, at hhayes@bessemercity.com, 132 West Virginia Avenue, Bessemer City, NC 28016, or by phone at (704) 6295542.
