Faunce withdraws rezoning request at well-attended zoning meeting Faunce Properties last Tuesday withdrew its request for rezoning a lot on the corner of West Mountain Street and Phifer Road from Residential to Neighborhood Business.

David Faunce told members of the Kings Mountain Planning & Zoning Board that he may submit a new zoning request to rezone the property from Residential to Residential Office.

Faunce Properties owns the site where Amazing Kids Day Care now operates.

A letter circulated June 29 by the West End Neighborhood Association encouraged neighbors to attend the meeting.

"Just about any retail business could be built on this property, some 100 different types of businesses from a convenience store to a drug store, tattoo parlor or strip mall for instance," according to the letter signed by Melvin Ware, Helen Hatch and Lewis Nantz.

A dozen West End neighbors attended Tuesday's meeting but did not speak.

Planning Director Steve Killian said that city council would probably act on the withdrawal of the zoning request at its next meeting and could set a public hearing for an upcoming meeting of the planning board on the new request by Faunce.

Domestic dispute ends in tragic murder-suicide A family is grieving the loss of a couple, whose lives, police say, were tragically lost in a murder-suicide Saturday night in Grover.

Prayers and well-wishes flooded social media sites over the weekend as news spread of the tragedy. The couple leaves behind two children, both students in Kings Mountain.

Police say that 60-yearold Dennis Moss, former operator of Cyberline, a fax/print/copy/sweepstakes cafe on Grover’s Main Street, shot his wife, Dawn Moss, 39, Saturday night before eventually turning the gun on himself.

A call to 911, regarding a disturbance, came in at 10:21 p.m. Within an hour, officers of multiple agencies had responded to the intersection of Briarcliff Road and North Main Street.

Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman said that his first deputy to arrive witnessed Dennis shoot Dawn as the deputy was exiting his patrol car. The deputy fired his gun, according to Norman, and Dennis fled the scene in a pickup truck, leading the deputy on a chase that ended where the shooting began.

There, Dennis shot and killed himself, according to the sheriff. He died on the scene.

Dawn was pronounced dead at Cleveland Regional Medical Center later that night.

Top chefs take over Battleground Kings Mountain investors Scott Campbell and Bobby Horne have sold their interests in Battleground Restaurant Steak & Bar and Shawn Bank of Mount Holly and Robert L. Curtin of Indian Trail, SC have joined forces to form Battleground Grill on South Railroad Avenue in downtown Kings Mountain.

"Our goal was to assist Kings Mountain however we could to recruit the right business and help get the building refurbished, which we have done," Horne and Campbell said jointly in a statement. "At this point we feel that having an owner/operator acquire our investment interests makes sense so we can move on to our next building project and let Shawn and Robert make the

restaurant even better," Horne said.

Bank is Executive Chef/Partner of Battleground Grill. He brings 15 years experience as a chef and in management to the new restaurant. He has been Executive Chef for fine dining legend, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Charlotte, and has manned the kitchen with world renowned Chef Gordon Ramsay at Maze in New York City and The London in West Hollywood, CA. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, SC, he resides in Mount Holly with his wife and two-year-old daughter.

A fixture in the Charlotte restaurant industry for 25 years, Curtin is Managing Partner of Battleground Grill. Formerly, he was the National Director of

Operations for Dan & Deluca as well as Corporate Chef for The Harper's Restaurant Group. While with Harper's, Curtin's restaurants received numerous national and local awards including Nation's Restaurant News "Hot Concept" designation. He joined the Harper's group in 1989, helped grow the company into the multi-concept it is today and was responsible for all culinary functions of the Harper's brand itself.

He currently lives in Indian Land, SC, with his wife, Shelly, and their five dogs.

Rainbow ‘somehow fitting’ at funeral of fallen airman Family and friends gathered to say goodbye Sunday to Senior Master Sergeant Robert (Robbie) Cannon, 50, son-in-law of James and Sandi Russ of Kings Mountain.

Cannon was part of the 145th Airlift Wing unit that responded to the wildfires out west.

The C-130 he was aboard crashed during a mission in South Dakota July 1, 2012 killing four men and injuring two others.

A service for SMSgt Cannon was held at a Carmel Baptist Church in Matthews Sunday afAt left - Senior Master Sergeant Robert (Robbie) Cannon

ternoon followed by burial at Forest Lawn West with full military honors.

A rainbow, which appeared in the sky as the service ended, was “somehow fitting” said family members. Cannon was married with two children.

Last week a memorial service was held for all four airmen killed in the deadly crash. In addition to Cannon, the fallen airmen were Lt. Col. Paul K. Mikeal, 42, of Mooresville; Major Joseph McCormick, 36, of Belmont, and Major Ryan S. David, 35, of Boone, all members of the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System MAFFS 7 crew.

Their names were added to a National Guard me-

morial wall, which was unveiled during that service at the Guard headquarters in Charlotte.

Funerals were held during the weekend in the communities in which the airmen resided.

The deadly crash was the first in the 40-year history of the MAFFS program, a joint Defense Department and U.S. Forest Service program that provides additional aerial firefighting resources when commercial and private air tankers are no longer able to meet the Forest Service’s needs.

MAFFS is a self-contained aerial firefighting system owned by the Forest Service that can discharge 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in less than five seconds.

BC amends city laws to allow sweepstakes centers Council approves privilege license fees, including extra tax on some businesses EMILY WEAVER Editor

Bessemer City City Council unanimously approved a text amendment to the city's zoning laws at its meeting July 9 that will allow sweepstakes cafes to operate within city limits on a "limited" basis.

The new amendment limits gaming centers to a maximum of 25 machines, sets hours of operation at 6 a.m.-midnight and strictly limits where the facilities can locate.

"No electronic gaming operation may be located within 500 linear feet of the parcel line of a house of worship, daycare center, library, public park, elementary, middle or high school," according to the amendment.

The text addition also prohibits sweepstakes facilities from operating within 1,000 feet of each other.

"It's very limited. It depends on (where)

the first guy (locates). The dominoes will fall from the first permit issued," said city Planning Director Kevin Krouse.

The ordinance requires "open" and "unobstructed access" to facilities during regular hours of operation; prohibits windows or doors from being "covered with signs or coatings to render them opaque"; and, prohibits any "flags, banner signs or flashing lights".

The amendment also bans any gaming center from operating on a site with an ABC license.

City Councilman Joe Will made a motion to accept the amendment, changing the maximum limit on machines from 15 to 20 before Councilman Howard Jones asked for it to be bumped up to 25.

"I've been told it takes 25 machines to make a profit," Jones said. "We have to permit them, if they're legal."

Will asked that the limit on hours of operation in the amendment also be changed from "8 a.m. until 10 p.m." to "6 a.m. until midnight". Will renewed his motion, including the changes in machine limits and hours of operation, and the amendment passed unanimously.

At a public hearing during the June 11th council meeting, Don Johnson of 503 W. Gold Street, Kings Mountain, spoke in favor of a zoning text amendment to regulate electronic gaming operations within the city. He had expressed interest of opening a sweepstakes game center in the Silver Express complex he owns on E. Virginia Avenue.

Electronic gaming operators must pay annual privilege license fees of $2,500 per business and $2,500 per machine to operate in Bessemer City.

The city has researched and reviewed the business license fees of other cities to "come

in compliance" and avoid any possible future civil litigation, said City Manager James Inman.

The city council approved a schedule of privilege license fees for businesses operating in the city at its July 9th meeting. The schedule includes an additional tax of $0.15 per every $1,000 earned at: adult establishments and cabarets, antique retail shops, barbers and beauty salons, instruction centers (i.e., music, voice, fine arts, etc.), machinery establishments, manufacturing plants, mercantile stores (not otherwise listed), and precious metal dealerships.

The minimum tax to operate a business in Bessemer City is $50 a year. The maximum tax is set at $3,000.

The schedule was approved 5-1, with Councilman Dan Boling opposing.

Contaminants in BC water supply 'under control' EMILY WEAVER Editor

BESSEMER CITY - At Bessemer City's July 9th council meeting, Public Works Director and interim Treatment Plant Director Melinda Beard reported the city has had a higher-than-standard level of contaminants in its water supply, but added there was no need for panic.

"Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you

should do and what we are doing to correct this situation," she reported to the council in a public notice.

"We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. The test results we received in December for the November, 2011 monitoring show that our system exceeded the standard or maximum contaminant level for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs)," she continued. "The standard for TTHMs is 0.080 milligrams per liter. The annual average level of TTHMs for the last 12 months, Aug. 1 through May 31, was 0.088 milligrams per liter."

Beard told the council that higher levels in November are reflecting in the higher annual average. She added that she has not yet heard back on recent levels.

"Last time we checked, the water is now in compliance," said City Manager James Inman.

The notice informs citizens that they "do not need to use an alternative water supply", but those with specific health concerns should consult their doctor.

"This is not an immediate risk," according to the notice. "However, some people who drink the water containing TTHMs in excess of the

maximum contaminant level over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous system and may have an increased risk of getting cancer."

"Due to Bessemer City purchasing more water from Kings Mountain than we are producing, our clearwell storage is not turning the water over quick enough to stop the formation of disinfection by-products, like TTHMs," Beard said, adding that TTHM is a by-product of chlorine. "This along, with the higher than normal temperatures in November, 2011 has created higher

than normal TTHMs. We are still flushing our system on a regular basis to reduce the amount of chlorine being used, while still maintaing a safe level for disinfection.

We have implemented new procedures and hope this will enable us to keep our TTHM levels down and are still researching and implementing different avenues to take to avoid this problem in the future and are confident the problem is under control."

There have been a lot of towns in the state having this problem, Beard added.

Ice Cream Crank Off joins Beach Blast!

Big weekend coming up in Kings Mountain, thanks to efforts by the city and special events coordinator Ellis Noel.

It’s Beach Blast time!

The popular summer event will be held in Patriots Park in downtown Kings Mountain.

The Kings Mountain Herald will be joining the celebration in a special way this year as it co-hosts the Ice Cream Crank Off with the Green Banana Project.

A few Kings Mountainians have submitted their entry forms and are busy tweaking recipes and are warming up (or is it cooling down?) their freezers getting ready for the big day.

Ice Cream Crank Off aprons await those who pre-register and two winners, one selected by judges and one by popular vote, will win a Kindle Fire!

Carolina is known nationwide for its barbecue. Competitions exist all over the state to find the best BBQ man and fire can conspire to produce.

But...we at The Kings Mountain Herald are ready for a new competition. We’re after the best ice cream. Homemade. The best part of it all isn’t the ice cream or the prizes. All proceeds will go to Relay for Life. A spoonful of sugar (plus some other yummy ingredients) will indeed help the medicine go down!

Want to prove you’re the best? Fill out an entry form from Page 2A of today’s paper and you’re on your way.

Pick a category - as plain or off the wall as you like make up a batch and bump heads with other amateur Bens and Jerrys.

Categories run from vanilla to “you made it with WHAT?” We’ve seen recipes for ice cream as wild as hot pepper. Crank up a freezer full of an old family recipe handed down from your grandma or search the internet for something new packed full of wild ingredients. It’s wide open What can you bring to top that? We’ve even included some recipes on Page 5A to give you an idea or two.

A $5 entry fee and a gallon of your best gets you an official Ice Cream Crank Off cooks apron and a chance to win a Kindle Fire tablet where you can view pictures of your win on kmherald.net! Not to mention some “cool” bragging rights.

If you just aren’t the ice cream cranking type, you can still participate in two delicious ways.

A $5 contribution will get anyone the right to sample these delightful dishes, too (while the supply lasts), and the right to vote for the crowd’s favorite. This donation also will go to Relay for Life.

And Wendy will be cranking up her own supply of Green Banana Ice Cream. Buy a cup of this and your money goes straight to Relay for Life, too. We tried it out on the Rotary Club last week and got good reviews.

Crank It Up isn’t about this newspaper. It’s about helping cancer patients, and it’s about our community.

It’s new. It’s different. And we hope you will join us in stepping out into the unknown, having a little fun, and making a difference.

Want some help with getting started, have a suggestion, or just need more information? Call The Herald at 704-739-7496. Wayne, Wendy, Lisa or Kathy should be able to help you out.

Need a freezer? Howard at Hometown Hardware or Tim at Bridges Hardware and their staffs can help you out, and maybe offer you a winning tip!

By the way, The Green Banana Project is a new nonprofit organization we’ve set up to help us raise money to promote hope among those in our community who most need it. We hope to contribute to Relay for Life, Hospice, the Rotary Backpack program and individuals who need a reminder that buying a green banana isn’t such a bad idea...that things will get better.

You’ll find us from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the shade of the trees at Gold and Cansler cranking away. Electricity, salt and ice are provided. Just show up with your freezer and “mixins” and join in the fun!

Also new to the festival this year is the hot wing BBQ cook-off under the watchful eye of Eric Pardo and Big E’s BBQ. See the ad elsewhere in today’s newspaper for details. Otherwise, the festival is as packed full of fun and music as ever...from watermelons to “woodies”.

How to unilaterally stop the health care takeover

By KEITH MILLER City councilman/Guest columnist

The Supreme Court almost decided the Health care law was unconstitutional. Do you realize that Congress and the President also have the power to declare any law unconstitutional?

The Constitution does not grant the power of judicial review to any one branch of government. All three branches are co-equal. Each branch has the same duty to defend the Constitution and we the people have the final word on constitutionality.

If the Supreme Court had struck down the Affordable Care Act, President Obama would be fully within the authority and duty of his office to disagree with the court and ignore their ruling if he believed the court was constitutionally wrong. Similarly, Congress may ignore the court and the President if it believes they have acted unconstitutionally.

If Governor Romney is elected and if he believes the employer mandate, the individual mandate, payment board, IRS regulations, or any other provision, is unconstitutional he can and should refuse to administer those provisions.

If the House of Representatives believes portions to be unconstitutional they should refuse to fund those portions.

If you want America to revert to the dictatorship we were as an English colony, then vote for people that want to grow the Federal government. If you want to see America remain the global superpower and defender of freedom, then vote for people that want to return the powers to the States which have been unconstitutionally confiscated by federal expansionists.

Letter to the Editor:

Want ideas for a better government?

I’ve always been told not to criticize unless you have solutions to offer, so consider these…

1. Put “In God We Trust” back in the forefront of government. Allow prayers in schools and before official ceremonies. Exempt non-believers from participation but require they not disturb the prayers.

Freedom of religion not to apply to sects that teach or encourage intolerance of other religions nor those that teach or fund violence or terrorism.

Atheism, devil worship, voodoo, etc. would not be considered as a religion and would have no religious rights.

2. Bring back all troops from the Middle East. The war on terrorism is being lost because of the great financial cost to the U.S. and its allies. We are currently playing into the hands of the late Osama Bin Laden and his followers by depleting our resources. The war could be better fought by very small groups of Special Forces or even small private groups of mercenaries.

3. Use the military to guard our borders, coastlines and ports. Strengthen the military’s ability to protect us by investing in the best weapons and intelligence. Assist our allies only when they are attacked on their own soil or when attacks are imminent. Use only drones, missiles and planes to confront the enemy.

4. Use ground forces in other countries only for help in distributing food, clothing, etc., in natural emergencies.

5. Make it illegal for foreign nationals to own property in the U.S. Those foreigners that

currently own land should be paid a fair and current price for it. If the foreigners are from countries that are our allies they would be able to lease land and buildings only for business or manufacturing services that benefit the U.S. 6. Begin paying back the debt to China and any other country that we are indebted to and make it illegal to borrow again from any foreign country without full approval of Congress. Make drastic cuts in aid amounts to other countries until our debts are paid and our infrastructure improved.

7. Start a flat tax system, doing away with all deductions. Repeal all other tax types, except social security and medicare tax and tax on non-essential items such as alcohol and tobacco. Have everyone pay 20% of their personal and business income to operate the federal government. The only people who would not pay would be those persons at or near the poverty level. It’s simple math. Anyone making $50,000 a year would pay $10,000. Anyone making $500,000 would pay $100,000 and anyone making $5,000,000 would pay $1,000,000, etc. Families earning under $50,000 would be exempt; individuals under $30,000 would be exempt. Tax on Social Security and Medicare would have no income cap.

8. Back the second amendment and allow anyone who could pass a local, state and federal background check to own and carry firearms. Make it a felony if anyone is caught selling arms illegally and make it as an act of treason if anyone is caught selling arms to any

foreign country without approval of the U.S. Congress.

9. Decrease our number of representatives and senators by 50%. Any pay or benefit increases for Congress, justices and the President would have to be approved by vote of the public. Base other federal employees pay on similar jobs in the private sector.

10. Stop piggy backing of legislation and require that all legislation pass or fail on its own individual merit.

11. Require all federal employees including the House and Senate members to have 20 years of tenure before having full retirement benefits except for self-funded 401Ks. 12. Begin a phase-out of the way Social Security is paid. Persons who have less than 20 years left to retire would remain in the current system.

Persons having more than 20 years would be able to invest their money (including what they’ve already paid into the system) into private federallyinsured banks, mutual funds, etc. with a guaranteed minimum growth such as an annuity.

13. Make abortions illegal except when two qualified doctors say there is immediate danger to the mother or that the fetus is already dead.

14. Do not allow gay couples to legally marry or have the same considerations as heterosexual couples. Independent private companies should be able to offer benefits to same sex couples such as medical benefits if they choose to do so but not through a federal requirement.

KM's Bell tours Washington, D.C.

Ben Hall, Brittany Crotts and Wyneisha Bell, left to right, represented Rutherford Electric Membership Corporation at the Rural Electric Youth Tour in the nation's capitol recently.

Wyneisha Bell of Kings Mountain, Ben Hall of Marion and Brittany Crotts of Union Mills attended the 2012 Rural Electric Youth Tour June 16-22 in Washington, D.C. They were among nearly 1,600 high school students nationwide, who attended the Youth Tour to learn about electric cooperatives’ role in the national economy and foster students’ appreciation for the democratic form of the U.S. government.

Students also had the opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of our nation’s heritage.

Rutherford EMC of Forest City sponsored Wyneisha, Ben and Brittany.

The trip allowed participants to meet elected officials and better understand how the federal government operates. This year, North Carolina students who attended the Youth Tour were able to meet seven of North Carolina’s 13 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The representatives stressed civic involvement and leadership skills as key components in making a difference in their local communities.

The Youth Tourists also met with Senators Richard Burr (RNC) and Kay Hagan (D-NC) who talked to the students about the country’s energy policy, current job market and paying for college.

The Youth Tour has brought students to Washington, D.C., since the late 1950s. To date, more than 40,000 students from small towns in 44 states have participated in this program and walked away with a greater understanding of their role as a citizen. Past participants of the Youth Tour have gone on to design airplanes, work as congressional aides on Capitol Hill and serve in some of the highest ranks of our government, including the U.S. Senate.

The Youth Tour aims to educate youth on all aspects of rural electrification in order to promote a better understanding of the value of rural electric cooperatives. The Youth Tour provides an opportunity for youth to visit monuments, government buildings and cooperative-related organizations in order to become familiar with the historical and political environment of the nation’s capital.

The Rural Electric Youth Tour is a joint effort of local electric co-ops, such as Rutherford EMC, statewide co-op associations and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in Arlington, Va.

Your ‘Fruitful’ Tips with Jason Rhodes

Peaches...

Most peaches in the US have yellow flesh and tend to have more of an acid-tang than a white peach. Originally from Asia, white flesh peaches are becoming more popular in America.

Choose peaches that are firm to the touch but will give to a little pressure. The fruit should be unblemished and free of bruises.

A good indication of maturity is a well defined cleft in the shape of the peach.

Peaches can fully ripen at home if put in a paper bag with holes and put away from sunlight.

Unwashed peaches will keep for 3-5 days when stored in the refrigerator. Wash just before eating, not before storing.

Jimmy Peterson, Andy Rydquist, Brian Peterson and Mayor Rick Murphrey, left to right, chat at Badger Color Concentrates, a new Kings Mountain industry, which hopes to be up and running in October in the former Indian Motorcycle plant off S. Battleground Avenue.

COUNTY: approves tax-break incentives for two companies set to bring more jobs to KM FROM Page 1 Between the two, there is potential for more than 100 full time jobs and $9 million in tax investments over the next five to seven years.

Badger will hire 25 employees as it gets up and run-

ning in October but could have as many as 125 in the next seven years.

Kitchen Ventilations is expecting to add 62 more jobs in the next three years, more than doubling its present staff and investing nearly $8 million in a big expan-

sion. A new addition will be built beside the existing industry at 212 Commerce Boulevard (KM Business Park) and house tempered air products, a green product the company is marketing.

In months to come when local hiring begins the plant will employ 25 people initially on first shift jobs. Badger will notify the public of the hiring date.

Earlier this year Badger bought the building formerly occupied by Indian Motorcycle which has been empty for more than a year.

Fatta said in a telephone interview that the plant could have as many as 125 employees in the next seven years. He said Badger, founded in Mukwonago in 1998, is growing and is now doing about $30 million in sales annually. Packaging, especially for food, is a growth area.

"We were running out of capacity here in Wisconsin," he said. The company operates out of two buildings in Mukwonago and has 125 employees.

Andy Rydquist, maintenance supervisor for Badger in Wisconsin, is working with the maintenance crew this week at the local plant. He said that Badger looked at many sites along the East Coast before deciding that Kings Mountain was the best fit.

Chatting with Mayor Rick Murphrey Monday morning, Rydquist said that the plant, when up and running, can ship products from Kings Mountain in one day to cus-

PRAYERS: sought for family grieving loss of mother, father in tragic ‘murder-suicide’ FROM Page 1

NEW CHEFS: transform Battleground Grill FROM Page 1 over and over," Bank said. "We also understand the importance of allowing a restaurant to reflect the community in which it resides and to provide jobs to local people. Our aim is to face the reality of giving great food and service in a down economy as well as make the dream of a successful new restaurant start-up to come true."

A new concept, price point and local flavor is the goal that provides value, quality and flair at good price points. Bank said Battleground Grill will feature casual American food with most menu prices ranging from $6.99 to $11.99 including 15 new items.

Lunch has over 40 items with burgers, sandwiches and salads starting at $5.99. A family Sunday brunch is also slated to open soon.

The murder-suicide marked the second family dispute to claim a life in Cleveland County in the past few days. On Friday, 21year-old Matthew Safrit was arrested for allegedly shooting and stabbing his stepfather

to death and stabbing his mother outside a home in Shelby. The feud was reportedly over a borrowed car.

Support and prayer requests for the Moss’ two children and family filled Twitter and Facebook over the weekend.

tomers up and down the Coast when before it could take three to four days from other areas. Kings Mountain Badger is also near a new facility that its customer AptarGroup Inc. built in May 2011 in Lincolnton.

Michael Madey, Badger Vice-President of Operations, talked with the KM mayor last week and said local, county and state officials have been very helpful in the process.

The company is receiving tax incentives (approved last Tuesday by county commissioners) from Cleveland County for investing in new machinery. Kings Mountain City Council has authorized the mayor to apply for a North Carolina Rural Center vacant building reuse grant which would provide $12,000 per job, up to half the cost of uplifting the building.

Badger would be a water/sewer customer of the city of Kings Mountain and the city would be issuing permits.

"We are delighted to welcome Badger to our community. This company produces color concentrates for almost every type of manufacturer in the plastic industry and will bring new jobs to our area and create a $1 million taxable investment," said the mayor.

"We can hardly wait to see this plant up and running and putting people to work."

$19M LeGrand Center set to open this month The state-of-the-art LeGrand conference center and new home to the Cleveland Early College High School is set to open this month on the campus of Cleveland Community College. The 89,000-square-foot energyefficient LeGrand Center, 1800 E. Marion Street, was designed by Holland & Hamrick Architects of Shelby.

The $19 million facility, owned jointly by Cleveland County, Cleveland Community College and Cleveland County Schools, was built by Matthews Construction Company, headquartered in Conover.

Designed to meet the strict criteria established by the U.S. Green Building Council, LeGrand Center is one of the largest facilities in Cleveland County registered to be cer-

tified as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver project.

The center utilizes energy-efficient materials, natural lighting and cutting-edge conference technology in both the education and conference spaces.

The meeting and event space is designed around a system of custom-manufactured Skyfold Walls, which can create seven separate rooms or be retracted vertically into the ceiling in minutes to expand into a 20,000square-foot ballroom capable of seating 1,000 people for a banquet or 1,700 people in a theater setting. The Skyfold Walls installation is one of the largest such installations in the world.

Each meeting room gives occupants com-

plete control of programmable touch-display panels for lighting, shades, audio/visual, thermostats and more. A control panel allows the user to manage a presentation with embedded PCs, HD video display and enhanced wireless communication. The facility features property-wide WiFi supported by one gigabyte of bandwidth.

The center has three conference rooms with video conference capabilities, a private boardroom and a green room for meeting preparations. Virtual-display kiosks direct guests to their events, and communication kiosks are designed to allow guests to stay virtual and connected. “LeGrand Center shows what can be accomplished when strategic community enti-

ties work together,� said Cleveland County Commissioner Eddie Holbrook, in a release announcing the center’s new logo. Holbrook serves as Senior Dean of Development and Governmental Regulations at Cleveland Community College.

Debi Harrill, sales manager for LeGrand Center, anticipates the center will host a wide variety of gatherings, including banquets, conferences, trade shows, fundraisers and weddings. Two of the earliest events planned for August are the “Welcome to Shelby - National Commander’s Reception� and the “Banquet of Champions�; both are events for the 2012 American Legion World Series.

Crisis Ministry seeks AC units, fans to help in heat The soaring temperatures have spurred an increase in local citizens seeking air conditioning units at the Kings Mountain Crisis Assistance Ministry.

The Ministry is asking for anyone with extra, unused units and fans to donate to the center to help them fill the demand. An upright freezer is also needed at the center to help them store food for the pantry, often visited by local citizens.

The Crisis Ministry will also accept food, appliances, furniture and money, used to help the thousands served each year at the center.

To donate or for more information, call the Ministry at 704-739-7256 or visit them at 208 N. Cleveland Avenue (at the back of the YMCA), Kings Mountain. The center is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Harold’s Weekly Health Tip...

Sore Throats Sore throats can be painful and annoying. Fortunately, most sore throats are caused by a minor illness and go away without medical treatment.

Several conditions can cause a sore throat.

Many sore throats are caused by a viral illness, such as: The common cold; Infection of the voice box (laryngitis); or Mononucleosis, a viral infection that tends to cause a persistent sore throat.

A bacterial infection may also cause a sore throat. This can occur from: Strep throat; Inflammation or infection of the tonsils (tonsillitis) the adenoids (adenoiditis); Inflammation of the epiglottis (epiglottitis); or Inflammation of the uvula (uvulitis).

A sore throat that lasts longer than a week is often caused by irritants or an injuries, such as: Low humidity, smoking, air pollution, yelling, or nasal drainage down the back of the throat; Breathing through the mouth when you have allergies or a stuffy nose; or Stomach acid that backs up into the throat.

Treatment for a sore throat depends on the cause. You may be able to use home treatment to obtain relief. Because viral illnesses are the most common cause of a sore throat, it is important not to use antibiotics to treat them. Antibiotics do not alter the course of viral infections. Always consult your doctor or local pharmacist is you have any questions.

Local artist highlight of exhibit in Boone gallery BOONE - "Portraits", an exhibition at the Looking Glass Gallery in Boone is featuring the portrait paintings of Appalachian State University Student Art major Josiah Mark Cameron of Kings Mountain. The exhibit is on display through August 3.

Curator of Looking Glass Gallery Dianna Loughlin says that, "Cameron's portraits cannot be described as photo-realistic, yet they breathe the life of his subjects with every stroke of his brush. His works are painterly in display and rich in their layers of oils or acrylics, charcoal, and graphite. Cameron has a keen eye for developing detail in areas that bring out the true likeness of a person, and has a skill for capturing this

likeness after only a few minutes of working the surface of a painting."

He takes great care to embrace the medium itself, too, stating, “It’s all about the paint; you need to see the brushstrokes.”

"While he works from the full body at times, his focus always leads back to the face of his subjects, as this is the area where first impressions are gathered and where the identity of a person is read," according to Loughlin.

With this, areas of less importance are purposefully left with a sense of incompleteness, but the works themselves feel finished.

“You don’t always need to tend to those other areas,” Loughlin said. “Jo’s portraits keep the focus on parts of the face that bring life to that

person and make them who they are. There are no fillers, so to speak. These portraits are of who they are.”

Josiah Mark Cameron was born in Kings Mountain in 1989. After a few years in community college, Cameron came to Appalachian State University in 2010 to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. His career as an artist began with an innate interest in drawing, an appeal that sparked Cameron to take up reading, drawing, and collecting comic books. While his interest in comics allowed him the ability to draw animated illustrations, he developed his skill even further with his paintings, which always capture a painterly, yet lively likeness

Cameron enjoys delving in other mediums as well, including sculpture and printmaking, but is sticking to his roots and pursuing a BFA

concentration in painting.

Along with being a full time student and artist, Cameron holds a studio space and is an active member of the Nth Degree Gallery in Boone.

He has exhibited his work in Art Expo 2012 at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Boone and was awarded StuSee CAMERON, 2B

How to Pick an Assisted Living Residence Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on picking a good assisted living facility for my mother? Her health has declined to the point that she can’t live alone anymore but isn’t ready for a nursing home either.

Need Assistance Dear Need, If your mother needs some assistance with daily living activities like bathing or getting dressed, managing her medications, preparing meals, housekeeping, laundry or just getting around, an assisted living facility is definitely a good option to consider.

Assisted living facilities are residential communities that offer different levels of health or personal c While there’s no standard blueprint for how they’re constructed, an assisted living facility may be part of a retirement community or nursing home, or they may stand alone.

Most communities have between 25 and 125 suites, varying in size from a single room to a full apartment. And some even offer special memory care

units for residents with dementia. Here are some simple steps you can take to help you find a good facility.

Make a list: Start by calling your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-6771116 or visit www.eldercare.gov for contact information) for a list of assisted living facilities in the area. You can also do a search online at senior housing locater sites like snapforseniors.com, or check your local yellow pages under “senior housing” or “assisted living.”

Call your ombudsman: This is a government official who investigates long-term care facility complaints and advocates for residents and their families. This person can help you find the latest health inspection reports on specific assisted living facilities, and can tell you which ones have had complaints or other problems. To find your local ombudsman, call your area aging agency or see ltcombudsman.org.

Call the facilities: Once you’ve narrowed your search, call the facilities you’re interested in to find out if they have any vacancies, what they charge and if they provide the types of serv-

ices your mother needs.

Tour your top choices: During your visit, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It’s also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and different days of the week to get a broader perspective.

Also, find out about staff screening (do they do background checks) and training procedures, and what percentage of their staff leaves each year. Less than 30 percent annually is considered good. More than 50 percent is a red flag. To help you rate your visit, the Assisted Living Federation of America offers a handy checklist at alfa.org/checklist.

Assisted Living Costs Since Medicare does not cover assisted living, paying for this type of housing is another area you may have questions about or need assistance with. Monthly costs for assisted living ranges anywhere from $2,000 to

$5,000 or more, depending on where you live, the facility you choose and the services provided. Most residents pay out-of-pocket from their own personal funds, and some have long-term care insurance policies.

If, however, your mom is lower-income and can’t afford this, there are some states that have Medicaid waver programs that help pay for assisted living. Or, if she’s a veteran, spouse or surviving spouse of a vet, she may be able to get funds through the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefit. To find out about these programs, ask the assisted living facility director, or contact her local Medicaid office (call 800-6334227 for contact information) or regional VA office (800-827-1000).

Are you a ‘true’ follower of Christ? ■ CHURCH BRIEFS

What is the greatest problem facing the church today? If you asked this question of a group of pastors and other church leaders you would get a wide variety of responses, but one of the challenges that I often wonder about is authenticity. What I Dr. Jeff Hensley am thinking about Pastor here is a concern that Kings Mountain is revealed by a numBaptist Church ber of pastors who lament that they are worried that many of the members of their churches are unsaved.

Or to put this more specifically, what I wonder is how many people there are out there who attend church every week, but who are basically going through the motions of religious life, even serving in roles of leadership or on committees in their churches, yet they have never really experienced a Divine-human encounter and do not have what Christians describe as a “relationship” with Jesus Christ. In my opinion, these are people who lack authenticity, and I often wonder if our churches would be healthier if this was not the case.

I tend to think that this sort of thing happens far more often than most of us realize. For example, a woman named “Mary” grew up in Michigan, where she attended a church from her earliest childhood.

In her teen years, she became friends with a number of other Christian young people and this defined her life in many ways. Her religious devotion even continued into her adult years, and she attended church on and off as she grew older. When she was in her early thirties, she was invited to attend a crusade. Mary didn’t know exactly why she chose to attend, but she did, and while she was there she truly heard the Gospel message for the very first time. When telling of her experience later, Mary said that she had been “playing religion” all her life, but finally she could genuinely say that she was a follower of Jesus.

Although I have heard this sort of story from people over the years, I tend to listen to it with a grain of salt, often wondering if some people who report such an experience have confused a life of trust and faithfulness with a largely emotional experience. However, as I watch the way church members behave and see how much superficiality there seems to be in church life, even in large and programmed churches that seem so successful, it seems that our greater challenge is not people who confuse true faith with mere emotionalism, but believers whose faith seems only skin deep.

We may of course wonder how it is that people can hear about the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ so often, and make some overture of commitment to Christ and His Church, but still lack an experiential knowledge of Jesus. Perhaps it is because we actually become numb to the message, but whatever the reason for this may be, I am concerned that many of us in the church today are just playing religion, and this should concern all of us.
