“Home for Christmas” celebration planned for Downtown Kings Mountain It’s time to ring in the holiday season, and this year there’s no better place to celebrate than in Downtown Kings Mountain with its month-long celebration featuring amazing Christmas lights, interactive experiences, and free festive fun for the entire family.

Make plans to gather downtown for an evening with, Christmas lights, Victorian Carolers, Interactive Characters, Train Rides and Much More!

Kings Mountain takes great pride in its special blend of family friendly holiday magic. You’ll feel as though you’ve been swept up in a Hallmark movie as twinkling Christmas lights illuminate city streets with Mayor Scott Neisler’s signature Downtown Christmas Fantasy Light Show, where a dazzling display of lights synchronize to music playing on your car’s radio (tune into 87.9 to enjoy the show!).

Stroll through Patriots Park and experience Cost-

ner’s Christmas Lights Extravaganza, where several new displays will be unveiled, each one guaranteed to take your breath away.

South Railroad Avenue will be transformed into a Downtown Artisan Market featuring local goods that will make the perfect stocking stuffers, and, of course, the extremely popular Polar Express Train Rides will be returning for another season.

All this and more in Downtown Kings Mountain, Saturdays, December 4, 11, and 18, 2021 from 5:30 8:30pm.

Emily Durden quickly discovered that Ms. Durden had initiated con-

versations and shared sexually explicit materials with several 13 and 14-year-old children. As part of the investigation Ms. Durden was interviewed and admitted to sending the sexually explicit videos and pictures to the children.

CCSO app keeps citizens informed Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office app is available to citizens for iOS and Android to stay in the know about public safety issues as they occur.

To connect with more people in the community, the Sheriff’s Office developed an application for cellphones and tablets, where people could find

out more information about what is happening in the community and connected with law enforcement.

“This app serves as a way for the Sheriff’s Office to connect with Cleveland County residents and visitors, providing information quickly and efficiently to anyone with a smartphone,” read a statement

from the Sheriff’s Office.

The dashboard for the app includes icons for people to look at recent arrests, find contact information for Sheriff’s Office staff, lookup sex offenders and browse Cleveland County’s most wanted.

There are also options for people to submit tips to law enforcement. When

someone clicks on the button to submit a tip, the first thing to pop-up is if the Cleveland County Sheriff’s app can have the user’s location. After getting past that, people can submit an anonymous tip, and even include pictures.

To get the application, visit the App Store on your cell phone or tablet.

OPINION

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

TODAY’S QUOTE: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

– Martin Luther King Jr.

Pieces of Kings Mountain History

The Colonel Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter will be LORETTA placing COZART wreaths on the graves of veterans in Mountain Rest Cemetery on Saturday, December 18 at noon for Wreaths Across America Day. Due to the pandemic, fewer wreaths were purchased this year. But the importance of honoring our community’s veterans is not diminished by the number of wreaths we place.

At last count, more than 1,250 veterans are interred at Mountain Rest.

These men and women offered their lives in service to our county. Some paid the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives.

If you walk through the veteran’s section of the cemetery, near the cross and stage, it is humbling to see all the markers and realize that

many here died young, too young. Others were fortunate to return home and live full lives. In either case, they responded when the call for volunteers went out. That act alone speaks volumes to their character. And it is their sacrifice that brings the DAR back year after year to honor the veterans buried in this place on Wreaths Across America Day. The DAR does this, not for notoriety or accolades.

They do it because it is the right thing to do. In an earlier time, students learned the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag in school. They started their day with the pledge from first grade on. Due

to changes in our world, those routines are no longer done daily. So, we must lead by example and encourage parents and others to do the same.

If we begin this habit of honoring our veterans now, young people will perpetuate doing so long after we are gone.

DAR members cannot place all these wreaths on their own. We need the help of the community to honor these veterans.

We need the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, ROTC groups, American Legion Riders, church groups, and Explorers. We need kids from every elementary school to help, even if they only lay one wreath.

How can they learn if they do not participate?

Adults can volunteer, too. By watching adults, young people see the values of the parents, or admired adults, in action and learn that honoring those who served us while living, and after, is an honorable thing.

The Haiti kidnapped missionaries, consider the costs of such trips (Ed. Note: Since this was written, reports are that at least two misGlenn Mollette sionaries Guest Editorial have been released unharmed) The missionaries consisting of 16 Americans and one Canadian kidnapped by the Haitian “400 Mawozo” gang Oct. 16, is extremely scary. The gang has threatened to kill the humanitarian Christians if a million dollar per person ransom is not fulfilled.

The group consists of men, women, children and an eight-month-old baby.

These missionaries have sacrificed their time and paid their own way to go to the poorest place in the Western hemisphere to try to spread God’s love and save some souls. In turn, the missionaries are experiencing a nightmare like they’ve never imagined. They’re imprisoned and being threatened with a bullet in the head.

Most of us will never

get over seeing journalists being beheaded and tortured in Syria and Iraq by the barbaric Islamic extremist group called ISIL. Burning people alive and beheading others were too graphic and gruesome to ever be forgotten.

Why do journalists, missionaries and humanitarian aid workers go to such places to risk kidnapping, rape, torture and unimaginable deaths? There is always the belief that “it will not happen to me.” Some might view such a trip as a vacation.

Years ago, I traveled to a third world country on a “missionary trip” with others thinking it would be a nice break.

I’ve never worked so hard in my life.

Sadly, the 17 missionaries in Haiti are undergoing a cruel experience that may end with the cost of their very lives.

What are they thinking now? What is going through the minds of the little children who traveled to a world to help others and spread God’s love?

Haiti has been the site of years of humanitarian efforts. The United States and other countries have

given billions of dollars to help Haiti. Sadly, hurricanes, political unrest, underdevelopment and extreme poverty have all made for a sad scenario.

How much money would the world have to give to Haiti to make life better for this nation?

This is a question no one can answer because usually aid is a short-term solution. We spent a trillion dollars in Afghanistan and they aren’t any better off today.

Good missionary people went to Haiti with good hearts for helping others in the name of God’s love. They went to share a message they hoped would bring about change and better lives. They may now lose their lives.

Christians point to Jesus as the model for such missionary efforts.

He came preaching and teaching in an effort to demonstrate and spread God’s love and it cost him plenty – his life, executed in public on a cross.

Looking Back

By Loretta Cozart Melvin Ware is a wealth of Kings Mountain history and strives to learn more about the history of our city. Recently, he shared a Herald article written on August 8, 1935, about a reunion for former students at Capt.

Bell's Military School. It is interesting that many of the names mentioned became prosperous industrialists in the area.

Even more interesting is that many local women were also graduates of the military school. This reunion would have occurred just two years after the current facility was completed in October 1933.

Pupils of Military School in Reunion A reunion of the pupils of the Kings Mountain Military School which was founded around 1876 by the late Captain W. T. R. Bell, was held

at Central School, the old site of the Military School, on Wednesday.

No set program was planned but the day was spent in pleasant reminiscences and before outof-town guests took their departure, the students voted on a motion of S.N. Boyce, of Gastonia, to make the reunion an annual affair and a committee was appointed to formulate plans for the meeting next year.

A bountiful meal was served in the cafeteria of the school by the daughters of the Kings Mountain students.

Among the students and visitors registered were R.L. Kirkwood, Bennettsville, S.C.; S. N. Boyce, Gastonia; John F. Schenck, Sr., Lawndale; Stonewall Durham, Bessemer City; John J. Crow, Monroe; J.O. Rankin, Gastonia; W.H. Kirkwood, Bennettsville, S.C.; J.H. Quinn, Shelby;

Mrs. J.H. Quinn, Shelby; Mrs. Sallie Anthony Hamrick, Shelby; Mrs. M.A. McSwain, Shelby; Mrs. S.E. Spencer, Gastonia; Robert Stowe, Jr., Belmont; Mrs. Lee Allison Falls, Gainesville, Ga.; and Miss Mattie Adams, Shelby.

The following students listed were all residents of Kings Mountain: S.A. Mauney, R.L. Mauney; W.A. Ridenhour, Mrs. Annie Dilling, Mrs. Ida Neisler, Mrs. Lona McGill, Mrs. Carrie Hord, Mrs. Laura Mauney, Mrs. J. B. Thomasson, Mrs. Cora Dilling Hunter, Mrs. Sallie Baker Fulton, Mrs. Lillie Allison Ormand, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hay, Mrs. Mildred Allison Moss, and Mrs. Laura Mauney Ridenhour.

their children with them truly believe they could be killed? Would they purposefully do this to their children? Who convinced these people that such a trip with small children was a good idea?

My goal here is to simply say, think about such trips to places like Haiti. Afghanistan, Iraq, Northern Nigeria and numerous others countries are not vacation

spots. Foreign travel may sound exotic and adventurous but consider the possible cost.

Many missionaries and Christian workers have paid the ultimate price in order to spread the gospel of Christ.

Only eternity will reveal what their selfless sacrifice has meant to those whose lives they impacted.

By chance, if you decide such an interna-

tional trip is not for you, don’t feel bad. Consider helping in an American inner city, Appalachia or maybe your own neighborhood. Service at home is needed across America.

Let’s pray for the safety of these missionaries and for those negotiating their release. May God help them and all who may consider such endeavors.

Appalachian Gear location nearly complete.

US Supreme Court agrees to intervene in Voter ID case

Appalachian Gear Company nears completion of downtown location

By Loretta Cozart On October 21, Governor Roy Cooper announced Appalachian Gear Company and the City of Kings Mountain had been awarded a $50,000 building reuse grant for a building in Downtown Kings Mountain. Since then, work has progressed, and the project nears completion.

“The building is being leased currently and I anticipate the tenants will be in during December,” said

property owner Gregg Johnson. “They needed a facility for their cut and sew operations, along with a retail sales showroom and our building fit that need. Their products are extremely popular with serious hikers, like those who hike the Appalachian Trail and need the best performance products available.”

Appalachian Gear Company plans to create 12 jobs and invest $486,000 in the local economy.

On Wednesday, November 24, the United States Supreme Court granted legislators' petition for a writ of certiorari in the long-running federal voter ID litigation.

Previously, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied legislators' motion to intervene in the case to defend North Carolina’s voter ID law. The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments sometime between February and March.

House Speaker Tim Moore said, “We look forward to taking this fight to the U.S. Supreme Court. Attorney General Josh Stein has repeatedly put his political position above the will of the voters and cannot be trusted to defend North Carolina's constitutional voter ID law."

He continued, "The people have spoken. A resounding majority of North Carolina voters have approved voter ID at the ballot box. We will ensure their voices are heard. We will mount a vigorous defense of the law on behalf of the citizens of North Carolina.”

Sarah Lee Owensby selected as Christmas Parade Grand Marshal with special guest Kings Mountain native and 96.9 The Kat’s own Sarah Lee Owensby, has been selected as Grand Marshal for the Kings Mountain “Home for Christmas” Parade scheduled for December 4 at 3:00 p.m. The Herald has it on good authority that a special guest will accompany her in the parade!

Sarah Lee, who was born in Kings Mountain, has defied great odds to end up where she has found herself; as the co-host to Paul Schadt, a Country Radio Hall of Fame talent. Sarah Lee’s rise in media took root in Charlotte beginning as an intern for Ace & TJ, then becoming their direct competition when she was hired to host the morning show on what was then, 96-1 The Beat.

While none of it happened overnight, it didn’t take too long for her to leave Charlotte and become the co-host to celebrity Nick Cannon in New York City, followed by moves to Tampa, Los Angeles, and Nashville, before landing the job that would bring her back home, literally, now residing in her hometown of Kings Moun-

SARAH LEE OWENSBY tain, three blocks away from her parents and the house she grew up in.

In 2019, Sarah Lee became the recipient of The Spirit Award from the City of Kings Mountain for her strong support of her hometown. From publicly cheering on the KM High School Mountaineers football team, to inviting the world, through radio and social media to numerous events in KM, Cleveland and Gaston Counties, there is no question how much she loves Kings Mountain “Sarah Lee is a great ambassador for our city,” says Mayor Scott Neisler. “It is only natural she lead our Christmas parade.”

“I’m still beyond shocked

to be chosen as the Grand Marshall for our Christmas parade,” says Sarah Lee. “This such a HUGE honor!

The Kings Mountain Christmas Parade was something my family looked forward to every year. We never missed it. I’ve enjoyed many parades, but this will be my first experience actually being in one. I couldn’t be more excited and more honored to represent the town I love SO SO SO much and always try to highlight on air on 96.9 The Kat. I’m so thankful for our community, the support you have shown me and for the constant love you give.

God has truly blessed us with one of the greatest small towns in the country and I can’t wait to spend the day spreading Christmas cheer with all of you.”

Sarah Lee met her husband Rob in 2004, married in 2012 and have two boys, Bear 6 and Zion 3.

The Paul Schadt and Sarah Lee Morning Show can be heard each weekday morning on 96.9 The Kat beginning at 5:00 a.m.

Bold Faith

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting some remarkable young people while visiting a friend in Georgia and attending her church, Cornerstone Athens. Their pastor called them to the front to share their powerful testimony of bold faith. Camryn Wright, 17 and Jacob Wright, 18 who attend different schools started a bible study and invited all their friends, bringing two counties of students together. Thomas Waters, 17 attended this bible study where God began to deal with his heart. Eventually, he became born again at a camp. Once he had accepted Christ, he wanted to be water baptized. For a while he had waited to get on the church schedule, but decided to ask his friends Jacob and Jarius Johns, 17 to baptize him. Jacob with Jarius’ help quickly accepted the

his confession of faith. Proverbs 28:1b (ESV) says, “The righteous are bold as a lion.” While some are timid in their convictions, these young people are starting bible studies, baptizing their friends, and proclaiming their beliefs to their peers. They truly are a chosen generation of leaders who are transforming lives and bringing honor to God.

life-changing task. He stated, “It was one of the coolest things I have gotten to do.” His pastor publicly apologized for not getting Thomas on the church calendar sooner, but commended them for taking action and being model Christians. In addition, this wasn’t a private baptism; they invited their football team and others to gather around and witness

AMAZE JESUS The bible tells of a Centurion man who caused Jesus to marvel by his faith. He believed Jesus had authority and could heal by just speaking a word. Luke 7:9 (NIV) states, ”When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Like the centurion,

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

I believe that those students impressed the Lord by demonstrating their faith in such a powerful way. They were not ashamed to proclaim his name and live for him! They also brought the Lord great joy. Luke 15:7 (ESV) says, “Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” When Thomas surrendered his heart to Jesus, all of heaven rejoiced. In fact, each of them glorified Christ and their acts will be remembered throughout eternity. Also, I am very sure that the parents and pastor of these youth are proud of them.

to be bold and courageous so I can share my faith with others and live for you. I ask you to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit. I pray that everyone I come in contact with will see the light of Christ and will want to know you. Also, I pray that you will continue to use these students to bring glory to your name. I ask you to put a hedge of protection around them, bless their endeavors, and keep them on the path of righteousness. Lord please raise up more youth for your glory. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.”

Governors Highway Safety Program for the 2021 Thanksgiving “Click It or Ticket” campaign during this holiday period. The campaign began today, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 28 with the goal of reducing preventable injuries and deaths in collisions due to a vehicle occupant’s failure to use a restraint device.

The provided safe driving principles can help to ensure a safe holiday travel period: • Don’t drive distracted.

Avoid technological devices while operating a vehicle.

• Ensure all occupants are properly restrained in weight appropriate restraint devices, day, or night.

• Never drive while impaired. Have a plan and take advantage of the multiple ride sharing avenues available.

• Obey the speed limit.

The faster you drive, the longer it takes to stop your vehicle.

• Check traffic conditions before starting your travel at www.DriveNC. Gov As always, motorists can contact the SHP by dialing *HP(47) if law enforcement assistance is needed.

The State Highway Patrol is preparing for the holiday season and for the increased number of roadway users expected across our state. During the coming weeks, the Patrol will proactively target dangerous driver behaviors to include speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving.

According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), more than 48 million people will travel by automobile across our nation representing an increase from last year’s predictions. AAA relates this increase in travelers within our country due to relaxed travel restrictions. Accordingly, members of the State Highway Patrol will increase visibility on highly traveled corridors to promote safe driving habits.

“The safe travel of residents and visitors to our state is our highest priority this holiday season,” said Col. Freddy L. Johnson Jr., commander of the State Highway Patrol. “By all roadway users joining in a commitment to safe driving, we can reach our ultimate goal of no lives lost due to preventable occurrences.”

The NCSHP is partnering with the North Carolina

Prevention strategy urged N.C. HOPE Program with new COVID-19 variant tops $593 million in rent On November 26, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified a new variant, B.1.1.529, as a Variant of Concern and has named it Omicron. No cases of this variant have been identified in the U.S. to date.

CDC is following the details of this new variant, first reported to the WHO by South Africa.

The South African government and its scientists openly communicated with the global scientific community and continue to share information about this variant with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and CDC. The CDC is working with other U.S. and global public health and industry partners to learn more about this variant, as

they continue to monitor its path.

CDC is continuously monitoring variants and the U.S. variant surveillance system has reliably detected new variants in this country. They expect Omicron to be identified quickly if it emerges in the U.S. CDC recommends people follow prevention strategies such as wearing a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high community transmission, washing your hands frequently, and physically distancing from others.

CDC also recommends that everyone 5-years and older protect themselves from COVID-19 by getting fully vaccinated. CDC encourages

In a Meet the Press interview on Sunday, Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci warned, ““Whether or not we’re headed into a bleak or bleaker winter is really going to depend upon what we do. So, this is a clarion call as far as I’m concerned of saying let’s put aside all of these differences that we have and say, ‘if you’re not vaccinated, get vaccinated. If you’re fully vaccinated, get boosted, and get the children vaccinated also.’

We now have time.”

and utility assistance Since opening last fall, the N.C. Housing Opportunities and Prevention of Evictions (HOPE) Program has awarded $593.7 million in rent and utility assistance, with more than $518 million already paid on behalf of families financially impacted

by COVID-19. Of that amount, more than $472 million has already been sent directly to landlords statewide, providing a substantial economic boost to rental property owners that have also been affected by the pandemic.

A recent survey conducted by the HOPE Program showed a high approval rating among the 2,172 landlords that responded, with 84% agreeing they are satisfied with the HOPE Program and 89% agreeing they would recommend the program.

“As a landlord, I am truly grateful for the HOPE Program rental assistance,” wrote one Scotland County respondent. “This program has eased a lot of financial burden off the tenant and the landlord,” A Bladen County landlord added, “This program provided me an opportunity to catch up on back expenses and, hopefully, give the renter a chance to get their finances in order.”

To date, landlords have referred 6,846 tenants to the HOPE Program. Landlords may submit tenant names and contact infor-

mation through the website or by contacting the HOPE Call Center at 888-9ASKHOPE (888-927-5467).

A program specialist will then follow up with the tenant to help start the application process.

The HOPE Program is still accepting applications for rent and utility bill assistance from renters in 88 North Carolina counties. Applicants can apply online at HOPE.NC.gov or call 888-9ASK-HOPE (888-927-5467). The call center is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Both English- and Spanish-speaking representatives are available to assist callers.

The HOPE Program is managed by the N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency, a division of the Department of Public Safety. To learn more, visit HOPE.NC.gov.

Better Business Bureau offers shopping tips for the holidays Black Friday, traditionally the single busiest shopping day of the year, arrives a little earlier this year, with many stores already advertising Black Friday prices.

However, sales will continue throughout December to draw consumers back.

Instead of setting an alarm to brave crowds for deeply discounted items, dedicated shoppers are expected to look for deals online, like last year -- that is, if they haven’t already finished their holiday shopping.

Changes, such as the shipping delays, continued pandemic, hiring challenges and microchip shortages, are impacting how people will shop. Retail experts are predicting higher than normal crowds in the stores and increased percentages in spending on gifts, decorations, and other holiday-related items.

If you do decide to shop in person this holiday season, the Better Business Bureau offers these tips to make your shopping experience productive (and maybe even enjoyable): Stay Safe. Follow CDC guidelines to be healthy and safe while in the store.

• Make the most of deals. Start with a list of items and use sale flyers and promotions to determine which store has the best price. Set a budget and stick with it before heading out.

• Read the fine print.

Some retailers may offer an additional percentage off the purchase but could exclude certain deals or items such as “doorbusters.” Watch for companies boasting a high percentage off; the item may be “75% off,” but the original price could be

inflated. Carefully check the price tags, terms, and conditions. Research online using a secure Wi-Fi connection to see if competitors have the item at a better price.

• Plan out the excursion. Sometimes it’s not necessary to wait to see what special deals will be offered. Retailers often will release sales flyers weeks ahead of time, so consumers can plan out their shopping spree. Make a map of the stores to visit and what items are at which store. Some retailers only honor sale ads during a certain time frame, or on certain days, and could limit the amount of deeply discounted items available for purchase.

• Sign-up for email alerts. Many stores release their best deals and exclusive coupons to people who have subscribed to their emails. Sign up ahead of the holiday season, and then unsubscribe afterwards if needed.

• Do your research.

Read product reviews on extremely discounted items. It could be a cheaper model or brand advertised, and not what was expected.

Check BBB.org’s business profiles of the stores and read what other customers have experienced.

• Know the return policy and warranty information. Pass along any information about returns, exchanges, repairs, and warranties to the person who will use the item. Gift receipts are an easy way for recipients to return or exchange a gift if it’s not just right, but make sure the item is able to be returned before purchasing.

Town of Forest City Hometown Holiday festivities schedule Come celebrate the holidays with the Town of Forest City! For years this small town in Western North Carolina has been known as a “Hallmark Christmas” movie set during the holiday season. In fact, RomanticAsheville.com calls it the #1 Christmas town in the greater Asheville, area and the #2 place to see Christmas lights in Western North Carolina!

The Town of Forest City kicks off the holiday season on Thanksgiving night, November 25, with the annual tree lighting ceremony near the fountain! The ceremony begins at 6pm and features live music from the local quartet, “In His Glory”. At 7pm, Mayor Steve Holland and his special guest will flip the switch to turn on over one million Christmas lights!

The ice-skating rink will be open. Ice-skating is $8 per person and includes skates. Many of the Main Street Merchants will be open, so come out, support local, and get an early start on your holiday shopping!

New this year, Main Street will become a pedestrian walkway on Thanksgiv-

ing! Main Street will be closed to traffic and parking from Broadway Street to Church Street beginning at 10AM. People attending the tree lighting are asked to park in the municipal parking lots between Main Street and Trade Street, the grassy area across from First Baptist Church, and around POPS. Main Street will reopen at 9PM. On Sunday, November 28, the Forest City Merchants Association and the Town of Forest City present the Forest City Parade at 3pm. With an estimated 100 units, this parade is always a crowd pleaser! The parade lines up at McNair Stadium and travels East on Main Street to the First United Methodist Church.

There will be no parking

allowed along the parade route.

Beginning Friday, December 3, the Town kicks off the weekend Hometown Holiday Festivities!

On Fridays through December 17, join us for carriage rides, hayrides and ice-skating! Reserve your own, private, horse-drawn carriage for a ride under the lights along historic Main Street. Visit www. exploreforestcity.com beginning November 29 at 12PM to make reservations. Carriages can seat 4 adults or fewer adults plus additional children. Carriages are $40 for 15 min.

Carriages load in Huntley Street behind the POPS concession stand. Hayrides run from 6pm-9pm.

Tickets are $3 per person.

Officials at Gardner-Webb and Gaston (N.C.) Christian School (GCS) announce dual enrollment Cost-Saving Program Allows GCS Students to Earn College Credit at GWU Following their ongoing commitment to provide an affordable world-class Christian education, officials at Gardner-Webb University have signed a Concurrent (Dual) Enrollment Agreement with Gaston (N.C.) Christian School (GSC). For

the 2021-2022 school year, GWU and GSC are offering classes that can be taken concurrently for GCS high school credit and GWU college credit.

“I am grateful to Dr. Marc Stout and his team at Gaston Christian for the wonderful partnership we have just initiated,” shared GWU President Dr. William Downs. “We’ve been developing this program for some months now, and it is

nice to see it come to full fruition. Strengthening the ties between our two institutions is a clear win-win, and we certainly hope to create a pathway for students from GCS to GWU that will be frequently traveled in the years to come.”

The GCS classes eligible for concurrent high school and college credit are: • (GCS) A.P. Statistics = (GWU) Fundamentals of Statistics and Probability

(MATH 105) • (GCS) Honors Psychology = (GWU) General Psychology (PSYC 201) Students have the potential to earn up to a maximum of 27 credit hours through Gardner-Webb. To take part in concurrent (dual) enrollment, GCS students will need to complete a concurrent enrollment application for Gardner-Webb, pay the $195 tuition fee for each course they are taking and

complete the course at GCS with a B average or better.

The students will receive official credit from Gardner-Webb, a fully-accredited university, granting three credit hours for each course.

This program is cost-effective for families, because the $195 tuition fee for each three-hour course is usually more like $750-$1,000 per single credit hour at most private colleges and universities.

SPIRITUALITY WORD SEARCH AFTERLIFE AWAKENING BELIEF BLESSING COMMONALITY CONCEPT CONGREGATION CONSCIOUSNESS CONTEMPLATION CUSTOMS ESSENCE EXISTENCE

Students will be enrolled in their GCS class for the full school year with enrollment in the concurrent college course at Gardner-Webb being for the 2022 Spring Semester. Beginning in November, students may submit an application and the fee to Gardner-Webb, which must be received by Jan. 31, 2022.

Is this true? If so, how can we know if his phone will be affected, and where can I find him a simple new one that he can operate.

Searching Daughter

Dear Searching, Yes, it’s true! If your dad’s mobile phone is more than a few years old, he will probably need to upgrade it in the very near future.

Why? Because all of the major cell phone carriers – AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile – are shutting down their older 3G networks in 2022 to free up airwaves for 5G and other advanced services. So, if your dad is using an old 3G phone, like millions of other older Americans, he’ll need to get a new device if he wants to make calls, text or reach 911.

But you should also know that it’s

not just older cellphones that will be obsolete. Older home security systems, medical devices and personal emergency response systems that still harness 3G will also be affected.

Adding to the confusion, older 4G phones that don’t support modern cellular voice technologies, such as Voice Over LTE or HD Voice, are impacted, too. Those customers may need a software upgrade or a new phone.

Here are the timelines for the 3G shutdowns: AT&T - Feb. 2022; T-Mobile - July 1, 2022; Verizon - Dec. 31, 2022; Sprint (which is owned by T-Mobile) - March 31, 2022; and Sprint LTE - June 30, 2022. Other smaller carriers like Tracfone, Cricket, Boost and Straight Talk, will also be affected, because they rely on airwaves from the big three.

Is Your Phone Affected?

Cellphone carriers say they have been alerting customers who use older phones that services are ending, sending a combination of texts, letters, phone calls and emails. If

you’re not sure about your dad’s phone, contact his carrier or check their website for a list of affected devices.

Another way to see if your dad’s phone is 3G is to look up his international mobile equipment identity number which can be found by pressing *#06# on his keypad.

Once you have it, go to www.imei. info and type it in the search bar to get the phone’s details. If his phone has a frequency of 900 megahertz (MHz) or 2100 MHz, it’s 3G. You can also look for a “3G” icon at the top corner of his phone, but not all 3G phones have that icon.

How to Upgrade If you find that you do need to upgrade your dad’s cellphone, carriers are offering discounts and special promotions on replacement devices. If you’re worried about your dad having to learn your way around a new device, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of modern new flip phones available that work on the next-generation networks.

Or, if your dad decides that he would rather forge ahead without a phone than upgrade, then he will need to cancel the service. Most carriers will let you cancel your plan without any penalty. However, if he forgets to cancel his phone plan and doesn’t upgrade to a working device, the company won’t automatically stop charging him just because he isn’t able to access their network.

How to Recycle If your dad does have to replace his old cellphone, the best way to dispose of it is to recycle it. Large retailers, such as Best Buy, offer recycling programs for old electronics.

Or you can search for local recycling programs on websites like Call2Recycle.org and Earth911.com.

everyone safe and still enjoy shopping for local handmade gifts.

The 2022 Calendar themed "North Carolina Mountain, Wildflowers and Waterways", consists of 12 original pieces of hand pulled silk-screened art. Each month is designed by a different artist, giving you twelve individual original art prints. Artwork featured in the calendar this year reflects the beauty of nature found in our great state of North Carolina. Their popular Calendar Tote Bags are available again this year, printed with the same images from the Calendar.

The late A.B. Mauney Snow and a dozen friends founded Southern Arts Society in 1984 to promote the talents of local artists around Kings Mountain. Soon after the group formed, the idea began of producing an art calendar by hand to earn money for the group. The 2022 edition marks 37 years of producing the limited-edition calendars.

The Calendars are reserved from year to year by loyal collectors with many being shipped all around the country, leaving only a small number open to sell to the public.

Be sure to get yours early before they sell out. The twelve-month calendar set sells for $30, and a frame (in black, gold or silver) to hold the calendar may be purchased for $30. Many who purchase the calendar refuse to look at them ahead of time, wanting to be surprised as each month comes along to turn the page and see a new work of art.

Shopping hours are Hours: Tues – Sat, 10 am to 3 pm. They are also open by appointment by calling 704-739-5585.

SASi’s “Holiday Boutique” will be in the galleries of Southern Arts Society now through January 7, 2022.

Southern Arts Society (SASi) Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Avenue in the historic Southern Railway Depot, at the intersection of Piedmont and Battleground.
