Kings Mountain Chief of Police Jerry Tessneer passed away early Monday morning. His funeral will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. at Penley’s Chapel and will be conducted by his predecessor, retired chief Melvin Proctor. The visitation is tonight from 5-8 p.m. at Harris Funeral Home. Tessneer, who joined the force in 1992, took command on June 30, 2017 upon the retirement of Chief Proctor. According to Mayor Scott Neisler, Tessneer recently underwent knee replacement surgery and it was successful, but he said Tessneer had felt poorly the last several days. “He got really short of breath yesterday,” Neisler said Monday. “I saw him last Friday and he was just not feeling very good. He wasn’t back to normal. “I swore him in as a Kings Mountain officer in 1992 and I swore him in as chief on June 30, 2017, the day that Chief Melvin Proctor retired.” Neisler said he expects

Photo by Gary Smart Assistant Chief Lisa Proctor will be asked to serve as acting chief until Tessneer’s replacement is appointed. “We are certainly all saddened by this news,” Mayor Neisler said. “He spent most of his career with us and he will be sorely missed.” Tessneer was one in a long line of Kings Moun-
tain chiefs to be promoted through the ranks. Before his retirement, Chief Bob Hayes worked with Tessneer during the early to mid-nineties during Tessneer’s early days with KMPD, and was his chief for two years. “He was a good man and a good officer,” Hayes said.
“Awesome” was the word Assistant Chief Lisa Proctor had for Tessneer. “He was an awesome officer and an awesome chief,” she said. “He was our chief, our friend, and our mentor and he had the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever been around. If you had See CHIEF, Page 2A

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from Noel Coward offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” one Madame Arcati. As the (worldly and un-) personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed, “passes over,” joins Elvira, and the two “blithe spirits” haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity. The cast: Edith - the maid – Denise McCoy.
Ruth - Charles' current wife – Sara Corbin. Charles - husband to Ruth and, before her passing, to Elvira - Robert Owens. Dr. Bradman – Scott Carpenter. Mrs. Bradman – Linda Sharp. Madame Arcati - a medium - Wendy Walega. Elvira - Charles' late wife – Erica Carpenter.

He shot his unarmed step-father several times in front of their family members. He robbed his own mother of her husband, and his own sister of her dad.

We are going to send him back there for a long, long time.

By Loretta Cozart According to the Center for Disease Control, it is time to get your flu shot. Last year's flu season was one of the deadliest, and the CDC have been advising people to act now before the start of flu season in October. Everyone six months of age and older should get the vaccine. Parents of children who need two doses of vaccine to be protected should start the vaccination process sooner because the two doses must be given at least four weeks apart. Check with your healthcare provider with any questions before treatment. An annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect you and your family against infection. Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after immunization. These antibodies help protect you against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine. The CDC reports that

Troop 92 stays aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown By Loretta Cozart Cub Scout Pack 92 spent a weekend last summer aboard the USS Yorktown, a decommissioned aircraft carrier in Charleston, SC. Scouts ate and slept just as the sailors did while the ship was still in active service. Boys also toured the destroyer U.S.S. Laffey, submarine U.S.S. Clamagore, and the Medal of Honor Museum, as well as the "Vietnam Experience" which is a replica of Marine
Corps artillery firebase. "I would like to thank the members of Central United Methodist Church and our faithful supporters throughout the community. Without their help, trips like this would not be possible," said Den Leader Brandon McComas. Pack 92 meets every Tuesday from 6:45 p.m. -7:45 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church in Kings Mountain. Troop U.S.S. Yorktown in Charleston, SC. (Photo provided)

Proud Supporter Of Kings Mountain High School Athletes!
By Robin Masters Meyer At each of the meetings of the Colonel Frederick Hambright DAR chapter meeting, there is a National Defense Report. This report is typically based on articles found in the National Defender Newsletter from our National Society. This committee focuses on our Active Duty Military and our Veterans. At the September meeting, I gave the following National Defense Report. Stacy Alexander Mullinax, Jr., Robert Neil Baird, John W. Blackwell – What do these three men have in common? All three of them are Veterans. Reverend Baird served in World War I. He died in 1948 at the age of 52 and was a former pastor at Boyce Memorial ARP Church here in Kings Mountain. Private Blackwell served and died during World War II. He died on March 31, 1943, less than 3 years after enlisting to fight. It took 5 years for his body to be returned to the U.S. for burial. He was a medic with the 1st Division and died in North Africa at the age of 22. PFC Mullinax was born in 1933 and was killed in action fighting the enemy in North Korea on April 21, 1951. He was only 18 years old. He served in the 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He was returned to the U.S. for burial on November 1, 1951. Why am I telling you about these three Veterans? They are just three of the over 1200 Veterans who are buried at Mountain Rest Cemetery. They are the

Veterans who we hope to honor when we participate in Wreaths Across America Day on December 15, 2018. Wreaths Across America Day can be traced back to 1992. That's when Morrill and Karen Worcester of Worcester Wreath Company in Harrington, Maine began a mission that would spread across the country and beyond. Wreaths Across America day began as a way to use a surplus of wreaths the company had as the holiday season was coming to an end. Mr. Worcester had visited Arlington National Cemetery when he was a young boy, and it left a lasting impression. That year he arranged for the surplus wreaths to be placed at Arlington in a section of older graves that had been receiving fewer visitors. From humble beginnings, a movement was born to REMEMBER, HONOR and TEACH. This year there will be over 1400 Wreaths Across America Ceremonies, in all 50 states, abroad and at sea. One of those will be right here in Kings Mountain. I hope that by hearing the story of these three men, you will see the need to reach out to your family and friends to purchase wreaths. $15 is not a lot to ask to honor someone who served this country. The morning of the ceremony will be spent placing wreaths, saying the Veterans' Names out loud and thanking them for their service. It's said that we all die twice. The first when we take our last breath and
the second when our name is spoken aloud for the last time. Two of the men I told you about earlier did not live to father children. Before our meeting today, I wonder when the last time their name was spoken aloud. We may not get 1200 wreaths this year. I hope we do. My biggest hope though is that we can grow this annual event, including more and more local organizations so that all 1200 Veterans can be honored. I want you to close your eyes and picture 1200 evergreen wreaths with red bows adorning the graves of our local Veterans. Let's make that picture a reality. You can help honor our Veterans by purchasing one or more wreaths and by joining the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter on December 15th to help place the wreaths on the Veterans graves. You can donate one of two ways. 1. Mail a check made out to the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter to 131 Wright Road, Kings Mountain, NC 28086 or 2. Go online to wreathsacrossamerica.org, click the menu tab in the upper righthand corner, go to search locations/groups, click on local fundraising groups and enter the code NC0200P. If you and your family would like to help with this task or if you sponsor a local organization that would like to participate then, please contact the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter via email at ncdaughter@gmail.com or lhcozart@cccom.com or by calling 980-406-6659.

Life, Love, church comes in a hard Grace, Peace, Forgive2nd, 3rd, or 4th place. ness, Fortitude, Salvation, WE forget about what Homes, Family, Church...
the list could go on! Isaiah 40:31 boldly states “they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” This for us gives us hope that when Sundays seem like a day to sleep in, hang out, and do nothingwe should pray for that renewing power to enable us to go and give thanks for a life in Christ. Finally, back to the church sign. By falling into church, we show the
world where we stand. We bodily proclaim a big THANK YOU for making a way out of now way! So, Kings Mountain, this week, don’t forget all the benefits that God has given to you through Christ Jesus our Savior and Lord. Pray with me: Gracious Lord, help me be a bright beacon for others to see your love. Help me to give thanks always. Help me to remember the Sabbath. Forgive me all my shortcomings. Lead me onward. Through Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Tom Dooley: the truth behind the legend By Loretta Cozart Author Charlotte Corbin Barnes will speak about "The Tom Dooley Files" at a special presentation on Saturday, October 20th at 4 p.m. at the Mauney Memorial Library Community Room. Barnes' 500-page, non-fiction memoir earned her the prestigious "Book of the Year Award for 2017" from the North Carolina Society of Historians. Popular folk artist and musician Rob McHale, whose album Tom Dooley and Friends made the Top 10 on
the Folk DJ Charts, will perform and as a special bonus. In 1958, the legend of Tom Dooley became internationally famous thanks to the chart-topping, Grammy-winning ballad Tom Dooley, by the Kingston Trio. However, the song does not tell much about what really happened. Who was this Tom Dooley and why was he accused of murdering the girl he was allegedly going to marry? What did Grayson have to do with the story? Did Tom Dooley really commit the crime, or could the murderer have been
someone else? What do the people of the North Carolina mountains, where Tom Dooly was born and raised, really believe happened?
Members of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 155 delivered school supplies to Bethware Elementary School on Tuesday, September 25th. DeAnn Burton spearheaded the Bethware School Supplies Project for the American Legion Auxiliary this year. "It's always an honor and privilege to serve our community. This project is near and dear to our hearts because our children's progress in school greatly influences our future."
"The school supplies project was a great success," said Pat Lemmon President of the American Legion Auxiliary. Students (L-R): Katja Abbott, Samiyah Brown Wray, and John Meiers. L – R (back row) Deborah Hoyle, Pat Lemmon, Principal Amy Jones, Kathy Hambright.

trade in this county. If we have to do it one dealer at a time, that is what we will do. For those who think drug trafficking is a victimless crime, about 80% of all crime in this county has some connection to the drug trade. The family devastation we see from drug addiction, especially methamphetamine, heroin, and prescription drug diversion, drives us to put an end to these brokers of human misery. Our citizens can help us succeed by calling 704-484-4987, and providing information on drug dealers in their neighborhoods. So much good information comes each week from the many citizens who make that call.”
Former CCS employee is under investigation The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department is conducting an investigation into an allegation that a former employee of Cleveland County Schools had an inappropriate and potentially criminal relationship with a student. The incident reportedly involved a high school teacher and
a high school student, but the school has not been identified. A statement released by Cleveland County Schools said: “As soon as we became suspicious, we involved our local law enforcement immediately. The Sheriff’s Department is now conducting an investigation regarding the former employee
in question. This is a very serious matter, and we do not want to offer any information that could compromise the integrity of the investigation. “We do though expect a thorough investigation and will do everything we can to help expedite the process.”

The celebration includes a ribbon cutting and students will demonstrate exercises on the school’s new outdoor fitness equipment called their “Fit Pit! The initiative goes beyond traditional fitness and is also is helping them build social skills, character and leadership skills. This is not your average gym class. The activities are both fun and intense. Research does show that not only is physical education important for a child’s physical development, it actually helps kids read and learn math. Physically active kids are better learners. Quality fitness in education has a direct impact not only a child’s health but their academic success,” said Stacey Cook, Executive Director, “We are extremely proud of Lids Foundation and Lids Sports Group for their commitment to bring this program to the community and for their dedication to improving the health and wellness of children.” About Lids Sports Group/ Lids Foundation

Fast Facts on the benefits of physically active children. -Source: American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness. *Better thinking skills: Studies show that people who exercise more are sharper mentally. The effects may be almost immediate. One study found that kids scored higher on math and reading comprehension tests after exercising for 20 minutes. *More confidence: Studies have found that kids who are physically active are more confident. In turn, that confidence may improve their academic performance, too. Active kids tend to get better grades. Though there could be a lot of reasons for that, including brain benefits, part of it may be better self-confidence. *Better moods: Many studies have found that kids who exercise feel happier. Physical activity releases brain chemicals that are natural stress fighters. Just about any physical activity seems to help. Physically active kids are better at managing their moods and have fewer mood swings, too. *Sounder sleep: Kids who exercise regularly fall asleep faster than other kids. They also stay asleep longer. The more vigorous the activity, the bigger the sleep benefit. Getting enough sleep lifts moods, improves judgment, and boosts memory. Fast Facts –Childhood Obesity in the United States Since 1980, the U.S. Surgeon General reports the rates of childhood obesity have tripled. Government estimates say there are 6 million American children who are now overweight and an additional 5 million who are on the threshold of becoming overweight. Doctors are seeing more children with what we typically consider adult diseases such as gallbladder disease, sleep apnea and Type 2 diabetes. Health experts indicate this may be the first generation not expected to outlive their parents due to the health problems associated with obesity.

GAME OF YEAR SO FAR
Huskies want to take a bite out of KM Kings Mountain’s toughest test to date – and possibly the toughest the Mountaineers will have in the Big South – takes place Friday at 7:30 at Gamble Stadium when the Hunter Huss Huskies come to town. The Huskies are off to a 6-0 start and are tied with Kings Mountain, Crest and Ashbrook for first place. That number will drop to two at the top Friday as Ashbrook plays Crest. KM Coach Greg Lloyd says Huss will be, by far, the best team the Mountaineers have played to date.
“They could be the most talented team we will face all year,” Lloyd said. “They have unbelievable team speed and great size. They’re by far the best team we’ve played so far and will present a lot of problems.” The Huskies’ only close games to date have been one touchdown non-conference wins over Cox Mill and Clover, SC. Lloyd said they will present a great challenge to his defending BSC champions. “Their quarterback (Zo Wallace) is big and he has a lot of good receivers,”
Volleyball still dominating BS Kings Mountain High’s volleyball team continued to roll last week with two more Big South 3A Conference wins, running their record to 10-0 in the conference and 18-1 overall heading into a game yesterday at Gastonia Ashbrook. The Lady Mountaineers defeated North Gaston 25-13, 25-11, 25-21 on Tuesday and Hunter Huss 25-16, 25-13, 25-9 Thursday. Lindsey Deaver led the way against the Lady Wildcats with nine kills and outstanding overall play on defense. Kyann Crocker contributed 11 service points and also played well on defense. Aaliyah Byers and Baylee Marr played well along the net with six and five kills, respectively. Each had a block. Against Hunter Huss, Crocker and Layla Harris had 11 service points each. Deaver had eight and Abbie Harris also played well on offense. In JV action, the Lady Mountaineers fell to North Gaston 25-23, 16-25 and 3-15. Mary Bearfield led the Lady Mountaineers with
five service points, five kills and two blocks. Lily Gold set the offense and had five service points, and Ashlyn Wood had four service points and played good defense. Against Huss, the KM ladies won 25-4, 25-13 with Shaelin Smith leading the offense. Jordan Parker had 17 service points and Bearfield had 15. In a non-conference twinbill last week, the Lady Mountaineers swept two very good North Lincoln teams. The varsity won 28-26, 16-25, 25-22, 16-25 and 15-9. Layla Harris led the way with 13 service points and 28 assists. Kyann Crocker had six service points and played great defense, Lindsey Deaver had nine kills and was also outstanding on defense, and Aaliyah Byers contributed eight blocks and 12 kills. The JVs won 25-23, 1525, 15-13. Lily Gold had nine service points, Riley Carroll led the offense and Rachel Johnson led the defense. The JVs carried a 13-6 overall record into yesterday’s game against Ashbrook.
Lloyd said. “They can throw the ball and they can run behind a big offensive line.” Wallace has thrown for 1,038 yards and 12 touchdowns so far and has great targets in Tony Davis (14 catches for 418 yards), Jaheim Mullen (12 catches for 223) yards and several others. They also have some outstanding running backs in sophomore Malik Corry (69 carries for 505 yards), senior Damarius Davis (35 carries for 296 yards) and others.
“Defensively, they are big and fast,” Lloyd added. “I don’t think we’ll see a team this year as good as Hunter Huss. They’re the real deal and we will have to play at a very high level to compete with them.” The Huskies’ linebackers are some of the best and quickest around. Prince Bemah already has 66 tackles, Chase Williamson 45 and Anthony Dye 34. And, if that’s not enough they have two big, quick defensive ends in Marcus Mauney and Deaven Lowery with 32 and See HUSKIES, Page 4B

Quick strike Mountaineers too much for North Gaston Kings Mountain scored three touchdowns on its first six plays from scrimmage and went on to demolish North Gaston 56-6 in a Big South 3A Conference game Friday night at Trudnak Stadium in Dallas. The win moves the Mountaineers to 2-0 in the conference and 5-1 overall heading into a big home game Friday night against the undefeated Hunter Huss Huskies. After James Ussery returned the opening kickoff to the North 22, the Mountaineers used three running plays – the last one a 13yard TD run by quarterback Kaylon Wade - and the rout was on. “We did some good
things,” said Coach Greg Lloyd. “We clicked well on offense and made some big plays. Kaylon operated the offense very well and the offensive line continued to improve. Ussery looked good running the ball.” After a North Gaston three and out, Wade hit Christopher Brittain with a short pass across the middle and the senior speedster turned it into a 65-yard scoring play and a 14-0 lead. When the Wildcats lost the ball on downs at their own 42, it took just one play for Kobe Paysour to get behind the defense for a 42yard touchdown pass from Wade. A fumble at the North See N.

N. GASTON From Page 1B 16 yard line prevented the Mountaineers from scoring on their first seven possessions. After that mishap, the Mountaineers went up 28-0 on a 48-yard catch and run by Paysour. The Wildcats were able to sustain a drive that went from their own 29 to the KM 37, but Robert Lipscomb stopped a fourth and three running attempt to give KM possession at the KM 36 with 4:00 left in the half. Ricaylen Mack covered the distance on three running plays, the last covering 12 yards for the TD and a 35-0 lead with 3:21 showing on the clock. On the first play following the ensuing kickoff, North Gaston’s Kareem Kennedy, who was the Wildcats’ only threat with 177 yards rushing, broke a 65-yard run to make it 35-6 with 3:09 left in the half. The Mountaineers made it six touchdowns in seven possessions when Wade went six yards on a sneak for
a 42-6 halftime lead. Belton Pressley’s 53-yard kickoff return to the North 15 was the big play. The Mountaineers made it seven TDs in eight possessions after North fumbled the second half kickoff and KM’s Joe Ruffalo recovered it at the Wildcats 43 yard line. Ussery covered the distance around left end, running the score to 49-6 just 12 seconds into the second half, putting the mercy rule into effect. All of the KM skill players and most linemen took the rest of the night off. The Wildcats picked up their only first down of the second half on their next possession, but their own penalties and good play by the KM defense got in their way of moving the ball for the rest of the game. After North lost the ball on downs at its own 35, Marquis Adams ripped off a 25yard gain for a first and goal at the 10, and three plays later scored from four yards out to close out the scoring. North had only two yards rushing in the second half and completed one pass for nine yards.
Belton Pressley gets off a long kick return against North Gaston. “I thought the defense played solid,” Coach Lloyd said. “We tackled better. We had far too many penalties, but all in all it was a good effort.” Defensive leaders included Titus Clark, Ruffalo, Zach Crawford, Marquis Fewell, Michael Pruiksma, Ussery, Pork Chop Brown
and Robert Lipscomb. Wade’s three touchdown passes increased his school career record to 52, and he also contributed 46 yards rushing in just five carries. Mack, who is recovering from an early season injury, had his best game so far with 80 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries.

win at Cherokee National. Bobby Winn (78-14) was low net with a 64. Caveny was closest to the pin on 17 and Lackey had the longest putt on 18.
Lackey shot a 73 to win at Lincoln Country Club. Dick Neely took low net with a par five on the fourth playoff hole (13) after he tied with Bill Geddings at
64. Neely shot 80 (handicap 16) and Geddings had an 89 (handicap 25). Lackey was closest to the hole on 17 and Carl Straw had the longest putt on 18.

JVs defeat ‘Cats in half of rainout their first win of the season, responded with Antwan Ottey taking the ensuing kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown. Michael Harris ran a two-point conversion to tie the game. Kings Mountain threatened a couple more times but couldn’t complete drives. The Mountaineers lost the ball on downs at the North Gaston one with 5:38 left in the second period. After holding the Wildcats to three and out, the Mountaineers took possession with 3:40 left in the half. Facing third and two at the North 22, Brooks was held to no gain
but was tackled by the face mask, giving KM a first down at the Wildcats’ seven, setting up Pressley’s winning TD on a run off tackle. Kings Mountain’s Dylan Rush recovered an onside kick with 1:59 remaining and the Mountaineers were able to run the clock down to two seconds. As the teams were going to the sidelines for halftime, the game was called. The Mountaineers, 4-1, hit the road for the next two weeks against Hunter Huss and Ashbrook. Their next home game is Thursday, October 18 against Burns.

Kings Mountain’s Devin Pressley scored from three yards out with 2:03 left in the first half to break an 8-8 tie and give the JV Mountaineers a 14-8 victory over North Gaston Thursday at John Gamble Stadium. At halftime, a strong thunderstorm rolled in and the game was called. Pressley scored on a 20yard pick six with 5:27 left in the first quarter to give the Patriots the early lead. Jonah Patrick passed to Jaylan McGill for a two-point conversion and an 8-0 lead. The Wildcats, seeking

HUSKIES From Page 1B 31 tackles, respectively. Kings Mountain had several starters out last week but Lloyd says they should all be back this week. Javari Rice-Wilson and Chris Ruffalo will help out with the tackling and Holden Turner will be back on offense at H-back. No doubt, practice will be serious this week. “We’re going to have to work on all areas of the game,” Lloyd said. “We ha-
ven’t been sound in all areas yet. If we make mistakes this week they could lead to touchdowns for Hunter Huss. We have to take care of the ball and play as hard as we can play.” The Huskies’ kicking game will present a challenge as their kicker usually puts the ball in the end zone on kickoffs and is averaging 46 yards per punt. “He is very good,” Lloyd said. “They’re good in all phases of the game. We have to get ready and play well. It would be a big lift for us if we win this game.”

Rick Clark's classic bike shop is a blast from the past by Alan Hodge Special to the Herald Marlon Brando had one, Steve McQueen had one, and Rick Clark has a shop full of them. What's the commodity? Vintage British motorcycles. When you enter Clark's Sandy Run Classic Cycles on U.S. 74 near Shelby, the first impression is of going back in time to a British motorcycle dealership from the late 1960s or early 1970s. Row after row of Triumph, BSA, and Norton motorcycles stand in gleaming array. The heady aroma of oil and rubber fills your nostrils. Vintage motorcycle posters festoon the walls. Helmets and other riding accessories fill the shelves. There's even a bright red English phone booth in one corner. Out back, Clark has a repair shop where he and his assistants fix and fettle bikes that folks bring in for work that is becoming a lost art. Clark grew up in the British bike business. “My father, Charlie Clark, sold motorcycles,” Rick says. “In 1969 he bought the Triumph dealership in Forest City. By 1971 he was selling $250,000 a year in bikes. He was so successful the Tri-
umph company sent him on a trip to their factory in England and also Paris.” Rick was 14 years old in '71. “Daddy had my brother Heath and I take the new bikes out of their crates and put them together,” Clark said. “That's how we learned to work on them. A new one at that time cost $1,250.” Rick went to college and pursued a career as a youth counselor and social worker. That included 28 years with Cleveland County Schools. He got married to his wife Linda and had two daughters. The motorcycle bug bit again and he began looking for a place to open up a shop reminiscent of the one he, his brother, and father had once operated. “I just wanted to tinker with them,” he said. About 15 years ago, Clark found what he was looking for, a shop right on US 74 on the banks of Sandy Run creek. “The building had been a fish camp and in the early 1970s filmmaker Earl Owensby had shot a scene for the movie Hell Driver,” Clark said. “Later it was a rug factory, then it was empty for a while.” The building is not pretentious, but just the right size for a down home shop
where folks can pop in and talk vintage bikes. “We have had customers come from as far away as Michigan to have us restore their bikes,” Clark said. “We've also had folks come from Texas, Florida, and Arizona. We love visitors and hearing their stories.” At any time, there as many as forty or fifty vintage Britbikes in the shop. Outside a number of storage units hold even more bikes and parts. Clark's customers all appreciate the styling and panache of the old bikes. “A lot of them are professional people who remember the British bikes from when they were younger,” said Clark. “Often, they want to relive that time.” Clark does whatever it takes to help those dreams come true. “The riders have a passion for these bikes,” he said. “The shop is my passion.” Clark wants to expand his love of the older bikes. “I am looking at the possibility of opening up a larger place that would also be a museum closer to Shelby,” he said. In the meantime, Clark says his door is open at the Sandy Run location. The current construction on the Shelby Bypass has cut off direct access to
Sandy Run Classic Cycles owner Rick Clark stands surrounded by just a portion of the many vintage British motorcycles he owns and displays in his shop. the shop from US74. To get there take Exit 193 just west of Shelby to McBrayer Homestead Rd. then a quick right onto Broadway Dr. the shop is at the end of that street. The phone is 704-434-2421. Hours are Thursday and Friday 9-5 and Saturday 9-4. Mechanic Wayne Morrison gives this classic Triumph a new lease on life.
