Drama officials take battle history to county schools CHARLES RANDALL

MELANIE LANEY

Top Teachers are honored Charles Randall’s Title I classroom at East Elementary School is full of Star Wars memorabilia and other things that 30 children in K-4 like and these tools help them to have fun while learning. The 2017 Teacher of the Year left the grocery business after 16 years to teach and he loves it, all six years that he’s taught at East in Kings Mountain.

Melanie Navickas Laney, EC Assistant at East, is 2017 Assistant Teacher of the Year.

She teaches Exceptional Children at East Elementary and Grover.

Both teachers are building strong one-on-one relationships with their students.

Because her husband, Jack, worked with Shell Oil Company the Laney family lived in Texas twice and California and chose Kings

Mountain because he grew up in Taylorsville and has relatives there and this community is closer to the coast and to the Western North Carolina mountains they love to visit.

Jack Laney has retired from Bank of America and Wells Fargo where he worked in Information Technology. Mrs. Laney home schooled their three children for 11 years and this is her seventh year as an EC teacher, working the first year in Grover and six years at East, working part time in Grover.

“Any teacher can teach content but it’s up to the student to take the information in, to process it and learn it,’’ says Charlie, as everyone calls him. “I talk to the students about their day-to-day lives (and remembering what See TOP TEACHERS, Page 4B

Teachers from across Cleveland County came to the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain last Friday for a brand-new training session hosted by Liberty Mountain – the Revolutionary Drama.

During the breakout session, one teacher said, “I have been through lots of staff development and continued education events, but I have never seen anything like this. Absolutely amazing.”

The instructors included fourth, seventh and eighth grade teachers that specialize in teaching Social Studies and Language Arts.

The program unveiled a new campaign announcing Liberty Mountain’s efforts in furthering education in the community and was followed up with a surprise performance by actors from See DRAMA Page 2A

Hey Kids! 77 Years in Scouting Crawford has trained Easter Bunny at more than 50,000 scouts egg hunt Saturday The third annual American Legion Post 155 Easter Egg hunt will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at the American Legion sponsored by the American Legion Riders assisted by members of Unit 155 American Legion Auxiliary.

Children up to 5 years of age will begin searching for 600 eggs in the Post parking lot at 1 p.m. while older youth enjoy games and then will enjoy the egg hunt. Some monetary prizes will be awarded.

The Easter Bunny and friends will be on hand to entertain. Children should take their baskets with them and parents take cameras to take photographs with the Easter Bunny.

The Piedmont Boy Scout Council honored Kings Mountain native W. Donald Crawford, who has been active in scouting for 77 years, with the distinguished National Eagle Scout Association award at the recent recognition banquet at Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory.

Crawford estimates he has trained over 50,000 Scouts.

“I love Scouting and my Scouts keep in touch with me,’’ he said.

Crawford joined Troop 5 in 1940 as a Cub Scout and

CRAWFORD picked up rocks for 5 cents an hour to pay for his uniform.

The rocks were used to build the Scout clubhouse at the southeast corner of Cansler

and Walker Streets.

He is also recipient of the Silver Beaver award, the Order of the Arrow, and Charles Bell award, among many others.

Crawford fell in love with Scouting at age 11 and his dedication to the program is well known. He rose quickly to the rank of Eagle and the awards he has received over the years attest to his diligence and leadership locally, in the Piedmont Council, and in the state and nation. Manteo, NC and Kings Mountain See SCOUTS, Page 4B

DRAMA the show. During the lunch break, a brainstorming talkback was hosted by playwright Robert Inman and autistic director Caleb Ryan Sigmon.

Inman is well known for his years of serving as news anchor on WBTV and for numerous novels and television movies.

He said before the group, “How many folks can say that they have a battlefield in their back yard? We are a resource for you to use,’’

he reminded teachers.

The organization is providing field trip opportunities and hands-on, immersive assembly programs for schools in multiple counties, as well as equipping teachers with a study guide of the play, including fully detailed lesson plans that match North Carolina teaching standards and curriculum.

They have partnered with educators to create a tool that will change the game.

Sigmon had this to say, “One of our main goals is to revolutionize the way history is taught in the classroom. Using our one-

of-a-kind lessons plan and unique methods of attack, students will find themselves swept up in the American Revolution.”

Liberty Mountain, the Revolutionary drama, is a live production that brings the epic Battle of Kings Mountain to life onstage.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2017 season. Reserve your seats for the drama through the website, where you can find more information about the show, and read about how they are impacting the community through theatre., Visit their website: www.LibertyMountainDrama.com

Lenten Service Today

A Perfect Recipe: Part 5 of 6 T w o m o r e weeks to go until it’s Easter; two more weeks to complete the Lenten j o u r Rev. Joshua ney that Morgan Advent we’re on.

We can’t Lutheran Church allow ourselves to start slacking nowTHE END IS ALMOST HERE! If you’ve been keeping up with the weekly devotions, we’ve been talking about turning our hearts back to God, living a life that allows others to know to whom we belong, and

how does our daily actions reflect the light of Christ.

Christ himself walked this earth for US. Not just a select few, but all of us!

He want to have a right relationship with you- a perfect relationship with you!

He went so far as to give his life.

This Sunday coming, we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem- and the last days before his horrific crucifixion. From being tempted in the desert, to flogged, betrayed, and mocked- he did it all for you!

He wanted to mend the old sinful ways of this world, set us in right relationship with God once more; and balance the scales so to speak.

The “Perfect Rec-

ipe” begins to take form.

See, we try so often to do things our way. We think that if we do x,y, and z OUR way then God will do a, b, and c OUR way- WRONG. That’s the mentality that got us into this awful jam in the first place.

Humanity stopped following God’s ways- and Jesus had to make a mends for our sin. The Messiah, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), the one who had been prophesied about came to make all things right.

That recipe for us starts to take form in divine essence: Ingredients: 1 Cross + 3 Nails + 1 Crown of Thorns + Sins of The World + Jesus’ Per-

fect Divine & Human Self + Death + Resurrection + Empty Tomb + Sitting At The Right Hand Of The Father = Forgiveness of Sin Directions: Mend you heart. Look to God. Repent daily. Ask for help. Seek his goodness.

Love your neighbor. Walk humbly before God. Repeat daily. Read scripture…. the list goes on, but here’s the start to our perfect recipe for next week’s final Lenten devotion.

May the blessing of Almighty God, Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit bless you now and forever more! Remember- God loves you so much that he God his only son to die for you (John 3:16)

Restoring your property after a long winter One of the best things about the dawn of spring and the return of warmer weather is the chance to get out of the house and get some fresh air. For homeowners, this is the perfect opportunity to assess any damage the previous months did to yards and develop a plan restore properties. * Don’t jump the gun. The first warm day of spring might seem like a great time get out in the yard and get your hands dirty. But it’s best to wait until the grass has completely dried out before getting to work. Raking on wet grass increases the risk of tearing out grass, which can cause bald spots and the growth of weeds down the road. In addition, stepping on the grass while the ground is still wet can compact the soil, which can slow drainage and block the lawn’s roots from breathing.

Patience should prevail with regard to mowing the lawn as well. A lawn’s roots will not start to grow until the average everyday temperature routinely reaches 40 F, so mowing too early is both unnecessary and potentially harmful to the lawn. When the temperatures regularly reach 50 F, then homeowners will likely start to see their lawns growing.

* Remove debris that’s piled up. Debris has a tendency to infest a yard over the course of the winter months. Fallen branches, stones and even trash can accumulate in a yard, putting those who spend time in the yard at risk of injury once the warm weather returns. For instance, bits of twigs and pebbles that are blown across the yard during a windy winter can be embedded in the yard, making the yard less of a haven and more of a hazard. Once the grass is dry enough to walk on, walk around the property and remove any debris that’s piled up over the last few months. * Employ a pre-emergent weed killer. Homeowners who routinely spend their summers agonizing over weeds throughout the yard should consider applying a pre-emergent weed killer around the beginning of spring. It’s important to do so around the end of March or early April, when the weeds have not yet had a chance to grow. When applying, follow the dosage instructions provided by the product’s manufacturer.

Such instructions often recommend a second application right before summer begins.

Mowing the lawn too early in the spring is * Remove thatch. Once the grass has dried, both unnecessary and potentially harmful to you can begin to remove thatch that’s built up over the winter. Thatch is potentially very the lawn.

harmful to soil, blocking sunlight, air and moisture the soil needs to ensure a lawn looks lush and healthy. Thatch removal does not necessarily need to be an annual task. If thatch buildup is insignificant, then it can be done every other year. Just use a dethatching rake to make the job much easier. * Aerate, particularly if the yard is a heavy traffic area once the warm weather arrives. If your yard transforms into a child’s wonderland upon the arrival of spring and summer, you might want to revive the soil by aerating.

When the yard gets heavy usage, it’s easy for soil to become compacted, which makes it hard for air and water to reach the lawn’s roots. That can eventually make for a less-than-appealing lawn. So if your yard is the place to be come the warmer months, aerate in the spring to loosen the soil and make it easier for the lawn to withstand the months ahead.

No matter how harsh the winter months might have been, spring is a great time for homeowners to restore the property around their homes.

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that many enthusiasts credit with helping them to peacefully escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Though gardening can be both relaxing and rewarding, it’s not as easy as it may seem, and the more time and effort a person devotes to his or her garden the more likely it is to be successful.

Gardening can be a little daunting for beginners who have little or no experience planting flowers or vegetables. But gardening need not be so intimidating, especially for those beginners who adhere to the following tips aimed at helping novice gardeners start their gardens off on the right foot. * Determine what you should plant. Where you live will go a long way toward determining what you should plant. While you can plant anything you can get your hands on, the United States Department of Agriculture as well as Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada have determined specific plant hardiness zones that indicate which plants are most likely to thrive in given locations.

Maps of these zones can be found at www.usda.gov and www.agr.gc.ca. By adhering to the maps, gardeners can significantly increase their chances of growing successful gardens. When in doubt about what to plant, consult a local gardening center or seek advice from a professional landscaper. * Think location when beginning your garden. Beginners with large yards have the luxury of choosing the right location on their properties to start planting. When choosing a spot, consider how much sunlight a location gets on a daily basis and the spot’s proximity to a water supply. If planting flowers, try to avoid planting in areas with heavy foot traffic so the

flowers are less likely to be stomped. If you’re planting flowers to accent walkways, then consider erecting a barrier around the flower bed to safeguard the flowers from foot traffic. * Get started before you plant. Preparing the soil a few weeks before you start planting can help the plants thrive down the road. Add some organic material, such as compost or fertilizer, to the soil roughly three weeks before planting. This helps the soil retain water and nutrients, which will help your garden thrive. * Time your planting.

When you plant is sometimes as important as what you plant. Some climates allow for year-round planting, but many do not. When buying seeds, the packaging might suggest what time of year to plant the seeds. Adhere to these suggestions or your garden might not grow much at all. In addition, keep in mind that many seedlings need significant light throughout the day in order to grow, so choose a time of year with ample daylight. * Don’t forget to mulch.

Mulch can be as aesthetically appealing as it is effective.

Mulch retains soil, helping roots to grow stronger, while deterring bugs and preventing weed growth. And many gardeners find mulch adds visual appeal their garden, and does so in a very inexpensive way. * Clean your tools. Beginners rarely recognize the importance of cleaning gardening tools before putting them away. Soil left on your garden tools can play host to potentially harmful microbes that might kill your plants.

Gardening can be a labor-intensive yet gratifying hobby. By sticking to a few simple rules, beginners can develop a thriving garden to reward all of that hard work.

How to create a paver walkway or patio Creating a walkway or patio out of paving stones can add aesthetic appeal to a property. Pavers are less permanent than concrete and decking. As a result, it is easier to change the design later on if you want to give the space a new look.

Homeowners who install their own pavers can save a considerable amount of money. Because installing paving stones can be labor-intensive, landscape contractors may charge a premium for installation. However, this is a project that can be tackled by the do-it-yourselfer.

1. Measure and plot out the area that will become the path or patio. The area of the space can be figured out by multiplying length times width. This will help you determine just how much material you will need.

2. Visit the home improvement store or a supplier of stone and other masonry supplies to determine the style and color of the paving stones you will use in the project. Some homeowners prefer to have the materials delivered to their home to save the hassle of extra heavy lifting and moving.

3. Using a shovel or a tiller, dig down and remove the grass to a depth of four to six

A paver walkway or patio can provide a nice sanctuary in your back yard. inches from the area that will become the path or patio.

4. Fill in the area you dug out with a paver base material, using a tamper (either manual or power-driven) to tamp down the paver base

until it is level and smooth.

5. Apply about one inch of paving sand to further level out the path or patio. This will be the material on which the paving stones are laid.

6. Begin laying the paving

How to determine if items can be composted Compost is an eco-friendly way to grow a healthy and flourishing garden bed or landscape. Full of nutrients and rich organic materials, compost is often called “black gold” by gardeners for the many benefits it provides.

One of the main advantages to compost, apart from the way it boosts plant growth and health, is that it is relatively low cost to produce.

Compost is created by food scraps and other materials that are left to break down naturally. Backyard composting speeds up the natural process of decomposition. In optimal conditions, organic matter can decompose more quickly.

According to the University of Illinois Extension, microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes account for most of the decomposition that takes place in a compost pile. However, insects also can do their part to create compost. Such insects are referred to as “physical composters” because they break down materials by chewing, grinding and digesting them

into smaller pieces. Bacteria create an oxidation process that heats up the compost pile and aids in its decomposition.

Homeowners can create their own compost piles with just a few items.

Some of the staples of composting include foods that normally would be discarded. Vegetable peels, fruit rinds, eggshells, coffee grounds, and the like can be put into a compost pile. Meats and poultry should not be placed in a compost pile because of the threat of harmful pathogens and bacteria.

Other items that are not food-related also can be added to compost piles. It may be challenging to determine which ones are applicable.

These products are usually considered safe: • paper plates with no coating • products made from bagasse, a fibrous matter that remains after sugarcane or sorghum stalks are crushed

stones. Leave the appropriate distance between stones desired by your pattern. If the paving stones will not have any gap and serve as a continuous patio, leave only the smallest gap between them.

7. Spread more paving sand on top of the paving stones and, using a broom, sweep it over the stones and into the crevices between them to set the stones.

8. Create the rest of the

garden design around the patio or pathway using gravel, plants and even edging material to finish the look. Over time you may need to sweep more paving sand over the stones to keep them secure.

Former Mountaineer golfer Michael Jolly to be inducted into KM Sports Hall of Fame (Third in a series of six stories on the 2017 Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame inductees. The 30th annual banquet and induction ceremony will be held Sat., May 6 at Central United Methodist Church.

Tickets are $15 and are available at Kings Mountain High School, from any member of the Hall of Fame Committee, and at the door).

The best job in the world is doing something you’ve always loved to do.

Kings Mountain native Michael Jolly is having the time of his life working with Cleveland Golf as a “scout” for PGA talent.

This week, the 1998 North Carolina High School Athletic Association golf champion is at the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, GA watching some of the golfers he recruited compete on golf’s biggest stage.

Although his work schedule keeps him from playing golf as much as he would like, he gets to see not only his recruits but many of the best golfers in the world.

Every week isn’t spent at a pro event, however. Many are spent at a college tournament evaluating potential pros.

“I see a lot of guys who will be coming out of college,” he noted. “I watch them play and try to determine which ones we think can play at the next level.

Like a baseball scout, I scout them and recruit them to sign with and represent Cleveland Golf on the pro tours.

“I do a lot of work with them,” he added, “and give them some real opportunities to play on the tour. I get to watch a lot of golf. It’s pretty awesome.

“Most of the tournaments I go to are college tournaments, but I go to about 10 to 12 PGA events making sure they’re successfully making the transition. I’m on the road probably 30 weeks a year, sometimes for one day and sometimes for five.”

Golf has been in Jolly’s blood since he was four years old. He was introduced to the game by his dad, Jimmy Jolly. His younger brother, Chris, is also a golfer. They also played golf at KMHS. He credits his dad with lighting the golf fire in him,

and former Kings Mountain Country Club manager Mike Hicks with helping him develop his skills.

A baseball and basketball player in middle school, Jolly decided to try out for the golf team as a ninth grader at KMHS in 1996. He started as a freshman in the spring of 1996. The team, which also included Greg George, Chad Huffman and Brad Leonard qualified for the state tournament.

His sophomore year, the team didn’t qualify for the state but Jolly and teammate Will Hendricks did.

It was during that year, and the summer that followed, that Jolly’s game began to improve tremendously.

“I played all that summer,” Jolly recalled in a 2012 story in The Herald.

“Dad would drop me off at the golf course on his way to work and I basically stayed out there all day long. I got a lot better.”

That work paid off in the spring of 1998 – Jolly’s junior year – when he won the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s Western 3A Regional one week at Meadowbrook Golf Course in Rutherfordton, and the state championship the following week at Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill. He is the only KMHS golfer to ever win the NCHSAA individual championship.

In the state tournament, a two-day, 36-hole event, Jolly got off to a great start with a 72 and held the lead at the break. However, on the second and final day, it took him a while to put things together.

“I didn’t do well at all on the front side,” he noted. “I had my only two birdies on the back nine. A kid tied me and we went to a playoff. He hit an 8-footer for a birdie and then I hit a 5-footer for a birdie to keep it tied. The next hole was a par 3. He missed the green and I hit it.

He missed his par putt and I hit mine to win it.”

Jolly didn’t repeat as champion his senior year but he and teammates Evan Osteen, Grey Howard and Justin Etters qualified as a team.

After graduating KMHS, Jolly played four years at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and worked briefly with Kings Mountain’s John Gamble at his golf shop in Charlotte.

As a player at UNCC, he had some contacts with

1998 North Carolina High School golf champion Michael Jolly will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame Sat., May 6 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church.

Cleveland Golf and was hired by them in 2004. Osteen, who previously was an assistant golf coach at Auburn University for several years, is now in the same business as Jolly. He lives in Dallas, TX and recruits golfers for Titleist.

As a scout, Jolly doesn’t have the time to play golf as much as he’d like.

“On ocassion, I will play with some golfers we have signed,” he said, “and when the opportunity presents itself I like to play with my dad and brother. I have a six-year-old daughter now, so from a time standpoint the opportunity to play doesn’t present itself very often.

“When I go on a trip, I’m usually by myself. My wife is a teacher, but there are a few events in the summer that she will come with me. Hopefully, my daughter will get interested in playing golf. She has some clubs and sometimes will go out in the yard and swing it. I just want to give her the opportunity. If she likes it, fine; if she doesn’t that’s fine.”

Jolly said he is excited to be selected for his hometown Hall of Fame.

“I am absolutely honored to be recognized,” he said.

“I am more than humbled.

“I never really thought about it, but it has given me the opportunity to reflect on what were some cool times for me. It has given me a reason to pause and think about my journey in golf and really appreciate where I came from.

“When I began reflecting on my high school years, it was interesting to think about all the good years our senior class had,” he noted.

“We had some exceptional athletes in our class. We had a volleyball team that won the state championship and is in the Hall of Fame.

Christie Brinkley, who played on that team and is in the Hall of Fame, was in our class. We had wrestlers like Julius Curry and Anthony Ash that won state championships and we had probably the best football team we’ve ever had.

“My relationship with these people has always been special. All of them are my friends and all had a high level of success. Being included in that group is very special. It’s really cool to have that much success in that class.”

It was a night to remember for Kings Mountain High’s Maggie Lloyd.

The talented freshman soccer player scored seven goals in a 9-0 South Mountain Athletic Conference win over East Burke Tuesday night at KM’s John Gamble Stadium.

On Thursday evening, she added another goal as the Lady Mountaineers edged East Rutherford 2-1 in a game that was ruled official after an hour and a half lightning delay.

Sarah Drennan and Raegan Buchanan had a goal and assist each in the victory over East Burke. Carly Johnson, Lauren Campbell and Olivia Martin also had assists.

Lloyd’s goal against East Rutherford came on a penalty kick. The other goal was by Drennan and was unassisted.

The victories gave the KM ladies a 9-0 conference and 11-0 overall record heading into last night’s SMAC game at Burns. The Lady Mountaineers host a very good Hickory team in a non-conference game tonight and entertain Shelby in a SMAC game Friday at 6 p.m.

KM’s John Harmon Melton takes a lead off first after second inning single in last week’s game with East Burke. Melton scored an out later on a single by Daniel Bagwell.

Pitching, defense key KM’s 1-0 win over East Burke

Kings Mountain senior Bryson Bailey works on a three-hit, 1-0 victory over East Burke last week at Lancaster Field.

Kings Mountain’s bats weren’t lively, but great pitching and defense made an early run stand up for a 1-0 victory over East Burke in a South Mountain Athletic Conference game Tuesday night at Lancaster Field.

Mountaineer pitchers Bryson Bailey, Alec Seaward and Daniel Bagwell combined for a three-hitter and 13 strikeouts as the KM nine got back over the .500 mark (4-3) in the conference.

Bailey pitched the first five innings to get the win.

He gave up just three hits

and struck out nine.

Seaward came on in the sixth and fanned one, and Bagwell struck out the side in the seventh.

The lone run came in the bottom of the second.

Catcher John Harmon Melton singled sharply to center to get things going.

Melton scored an out later when Bagwell ripped a RBI single to right.

Kings Mountain collected only four hits off East Burke’s Gabe Elkin, with Melton getting two and Bagwell and Madisyn Bolin one apiece.

East Burke’s only scor-

ing threat came in the fourth when singles by Ayden Lail and Emory Propst put runners on first and third with one away. Bailey struck out Greyson Hoyle and got Bryan Lockee on a fly ball to left to end the inning.

The Mountaineers weren’t as fortunate on Friday night when a strong East Rutherford team came to town for a game that was interrupted in the first inning by rain and lightning.

The Cavaliers prevailed 13-1 to stay in a tie for first place with their arch rival RS Central in a very tight SMAC race.

Pats win county track, host conference meet Kings Mountain Middle School’s track teams ran away with the Cleveland County meet last week in Shelby and now have their sights set on the Tri-County Conference championship meet which they will host today at 1 p.m. at John Gamble Stadium.

The Patriots won 10 events and almost doubled second place Crest in points. The Patriots finished with 104.5 points, Crest had 63, Shelby 33 and Burns 28.

The Kings Mountain girls won four events en route to a 7.5 point win over Crest. Kings Mountain finished with 81.5 points, Crest had 74, Shelby 48.5 and Burns 21.

Two Patriots were double winners. Titus Phillips won the high jump and long jump and Jacob Stacey won the 1600 and 800 meter runs.

Shay Portee was a double winner for the KM girls, in the triple jump and long jump. Also finishing first were Jasmine Clark in the 400 meter run and Dreama Mason in the high jump.

Patriots score 10 in 6th to beat West Lincoln Kings Mountain Middle’s baseball team bounced back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat West Lincoln 12-5 in a Tri-County Conference game last week at Lancaster Field #2.

The victory improved the Patriots’ record to 4-1 in the Eastern Division and

8-1 overall heading into a game yesterday at Lincolnton. The Patriots travel to North Lincoln Thursday.

West Lincoln took a 3-0 lead in the top of the third before KM responded with two in the bottom of the inning. Brandon Bullock reached base on an error and moved to second on

Brayden Garris’s fielder’s choice.

With one out, Jaxson Bolin hit a triple to right-center, scoring Bullock. Bolin scored on a fielder’s choice.

The game stayed 3-2 until the sixth inning when the Patriots struck for 10 runs to put the game away.

Boone Cartee led off with a double and tied the game 3-3 on Clint Turner’s RBI single. Chris Ruffalo was hit by a pitch, and Devin Pressley singled to load the bases. Peyton Fisher delivered a two-run single which would prove to be the winning hit, moving the Patriots ahead 5-3.

An out later Garris plated two runs on a double steal squeeze bunt.

Cartee and Turner each recorded their second hits of the inning to close out the scoring.

Cartee, Pressley and Bolin handled the mound duties, giving up eight hits, two walks and striking out

nine.

Leading the team at the plate was Bolin with 3-for4, Turner and Cartee with two hits each and Trey Crawford, Presley, Fisher and Brandon Bullock with one hit each.

Negus designed and built Organic Compost Tumbler Kings Mountain High School Senior Austin Negus has completed a unique recycling project for Neisler Life Enrichment Center in Kings Mountain.

Beth Bruno, horticulturist for the Center, says the staff and participants will enjoy the smooth operating piece of equipment invaluable that was presented to the facility last week.

Austin designed and built an organic compost tumbler

which consisted of a metal drum and well-treated 2x4 lumber and PVC pipe. His former second grade teacher, Judy Ford, was his mentor on the subject, “To recycle or not to recycle” and the paper he is presenting with the project details the project and pictures relating the benefits of recycling.

Negus has enlisted in Uncle Sam’s Army and will report for training after high school graduation.

He was employed by the National Park Service eight years, including six years at Cape Hatteras National Seashore at Manteo and two years at Kings Mountain National Military Park.

After retiring in 1980, he became active in the real estate and insurance business. His love for genealogy has led to a huge book of family histories which required time-consuming research. He is on the board of Kings Mountain Historical Museum and he uses his hobby of photography to snap pictures for the museum.

“Crawford has accompanied Scouts on 28 day trips to Philmont Ranch in New Mexico and as deputy camp chief for the USA visited Gilwell Park, the birthplace of scouting in England. He laughs and says, “This is where a Scout or scouter gets his ticket punched, it’s like a Christian visiting the Holy Land or an ARP (he is a long, active member of Boyce Memorial ARP Church) going to Erskine college or Bon Clarken Assembly grounds.

During his long tenure in

scouting, he has served Kings Mountain District, Piedmont Council, Battleground District, and Tidewater Council as a Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, wood badge Scoutmaster, assistant district commissioner, assistant Council commissioner and member of the Piedmont Council executive board to name a few of the positions he has held.

He has attended 10 national Boy Scout Jamborees. In 1973 and 1977 the national jamborees were held at Morane State Park, PA. He attended as a representative of the National Park Service on the conservation trail and was the Mountain Man firing a flint lock rifle, telling the difference of life then and now.

He helped develop a living history program on the site which is still used by the National Park Service at Boy Scout Jamborees.

“My late wife Joe Ann always said Scouting was my first love and she was my second. Not so, we were married over 50 years and our daughter, Donna, earned the curved bar in Girl Scouting. I guess you could say we are a Scouting family,’’ he said.

Not only his family but leaders in the church supported his work as a Scouter. When he memorized the Scout oath, “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country,’’ the Scout law and Bible verses and the catechism at church they became real to him.

Crawford said Scouting continues to survive by keeping current with the needs of boys without sacrificing character building traits and helping boys develop into men of good, solid character.

was discussed.) He said a lot of kids just want someone to listen to them talk about what’s going on in their world.

Taking pictures of himself as a child and even dressed up like the Grinch, pictures of animals on the walls, his working knowledge of Dora the Explorer, Sponge Bob, sports for instance, and other things kids like, he says helps him to give life’s lessons to build a stronger relationship.

“My first main philosophy of teaching is you have to get your students to buy in to what you are teaching. You need to get them to trust you and want to make you proud,’’ he added.

His second philosophy is that you have to make learning fun. “I dance on the table to celebrate a student’s success, a change of scenery in another part of the building is always good and the very outgoing Charlie tells the corniest jokes that the kids love.

His students are from 5-10 years of age. “You never know what to expect but I can relate to them and their parents because I worked different shifts on my former job in super markets,’’ he said.

How Working in Retirement Can Affect Your Social Security Benefits Dear Savvy Senior, I’m considering retiring later this year and starting my Social Security benefits, but would also like to work part time. Will this affect my benefits, and if so, how much?

Ready to Retire Dear Ready, You can collect Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time, but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, some or all of your benefits could be temporarily withheld. Here’s what you should know.

Working Rules Social Security says that if you’re under your full retirement age – which is 66 if you were born between 1943 and 1954, or 66 and 2 months if you were born in 1955 – and are collecting benefits, then you can earn up to $16,920 in 2017 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $16,920 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $2 over that amount.

In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies.

If that happens in 2017, you can earn up to $44,880 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $44,880 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $3 over that limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefits being reduced at all.

Wages, bonuses, commissions, and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment earnings, interest, capital gains and government or military retirement benefits do not. To figure out how much your specific earnings will affect your benefits, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at SSA.gov/OACT/COLA/RTeffect.html.

It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefits because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be recalculated to a higher

amount to make up for what was withheld. For details and examples of how this is calculated, see SSA.gov/planners/retire/whileworking2.html.

a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefits.

For more information on how working can affect your Social Security benefits see SSA.gov/planners/retire/whileworking.html, or call the Social Security at 410-965-2039 and ask to receive a free copy of publication number 0510069, “How Work Affects Your Benefits.”

For information, call the IRS at 800829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits,” or you can see it online at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915. pdf.

Tax Factor In addition to the Social Security rules, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too.

Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefits taxable.

In addition to the federal government, 13 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefits to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to check with your state tax agency for details.

Here’s how it works. If the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefits is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About

However, in an effort to maximize all resources and align with the City’s vision the park was renovated to triple

in size and become a multi-use space in September 2015.

The park now spans over 9,000 square feet and features a platform stage to accommodate City concerts and events, a green space for relaxation and comfort, and a display of local talent through artistic paintings.

Bessemer City employed the services of Andy Lutz Construction, McGill Engineering Associates, and the help of the Bessemer City

Downtown Development Board to complete the magnificent project.

The purpose of Bessemer City’s Downtown Development Board (BCDD) is to coordinate, promote, facilitate, and encourage downtown revitalization in Bessemer City.

BCDD is an affiliate of the North Carolina Main Street Program through the Department of Commerce as well as the National Main Street Center.
