multi-faceted evaluation process that began with Jeff Richardson’s resignation in October. Since October, former commissioner and former three-time chairman of the board, Jason Falls
stepped down as commissioner to serve as interim manager. Falls was appointed by the board with the intent to provide proper time for their evaluation process of Epley and allow
other key staff opportunities to be considered. Melton’s promotion follows a recommendation culminating from a year long professional pay and classification study. Epley will be the seventh county manager to serve the citizens of Cleveland County. “I’m excited about the opportunity and look forward to a smooth transition,’’ he said, adding, “The board’s commitment to the growth and enhancement of Cleveland County makes this an exciting time to be
a part of Cleveland County government and I’m honored commissioners have given me the opportunity to serve in this role. My experience as finance director and deputy county manager have allowed me to work alongside a dedicated team of professionals. This is truly a great organization, with exceptional employees at every level. I feel confident that there will be a smooth transition. My goal is to help the organization continue to do its best work for the citizens of our See EPLEY, Page 7A

Hendricks said that interconnection with both Duke Energy and Williams Pipeline are complete and all city services, electric, natural gas, water, wastewater and fiber have been completed and are in service at the site. Hendricks said that as leg-
islation by the US Congress was passed (Federal Tax Reform) lowering the corporate tax from 35% to 21%, this affected the city through its energy wholesale cost. Savings will be shared to customers and the process has been solidified with Duke Energy and remains in discussion
with Williams Pipeline. In other updates: • The city’s peak generation assets have been an active part of the Energy Department since 1997. Through these assets the city has saved millions that electric customers have seen. See SNOW, Page 7A

Byers wanted in 2016 shooting death in Kingstown The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office needs the public’s help in finding Antarious Quashard Byers, 24, who is being charged in the Oct. 9, 2016 murder of 19-year-old Deasia Washington in Kingstown. With the location of Byers, whose last address was 116 Pleasant Hill Church Road, Shelby, officers say they have solved another cold case killing. According to Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman, Byers was aiming at another target when he allegedly gunned down Washington, 23. Byers was reportedly involved in a fist fight during a party at 137 Fox Hill Drive, Kingstown, on Oct. 9, 2016. “This is a tragic event, This young lady went to a party to have fun with her friends and was senselessly murdered by some coward she didn’t even know who was trying to kill someone else after a fist fight,’’ Norman said in a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. With more than 100 people at the party Norman said officers believed they would have more cooperation and witnesses to what happened but that was not the case.
Norman added, “I can’t imagine the grief that young woman’s family feels every single day, but I can tell you her father was ecstatic to learn that we charged the person who killed her. It is just a matter of time until we catch this coward. This is an example of the gang violence in our county. Among my goals for our agency is the total destruction of these street gangs that so negatively impact the quality of life for many of our citizens. We have had success toward this goal, but we are just getting started.’’ Byers has been on the run from law enforcement since May 2017 when he was sought for arrest in “Operation Red Rain,’’ a joint operation between the FBI, Cleveland County Sheriff’s
Office and numerous other law enforcement agencies that targeted the Nine-TreyBloods street gang under the Federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Byers faces a second-degree murder charge in Washington’s death, an attempted first-degree murder charge for allegedly shooting the man with whom he was fighting, and additional charges of discharging a weapon into occupied property causing serious bodily injury, possession of stolen firearm, possession of firearm by felon and federal indictment for Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act violation. Norman wants Byers behind bars. The Sheriff’s Office is working with the FBI to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest of Byers. Anyone caught aiding him in his flight from arrest faces felony charges of obstruction of justice and harboring a fugitive. Investigators ask that anyone with information on the whereabouts of Byers contact the Sheriff’s Office at 704484-4788 if you spot him call immediately 911.

■ MEDITATION a life changed by the power of Jesus. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul unapologetically offered himself as a living model of Christ in which they can imitate. In 1 Corinthians Paul, speaking as a father to his children, “I urge you to imitate me.” Paul reminds the church at Corinth of their responsibility to be Christ’s imitators, children of God. Paul continues, “For this reason, I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.” Not only does Paul offer himself as an example to follow, he sends

I, however, want to ex- dren take on characteristics plore whom we imitate and without being aware. Their behavior can be in turn who imitates us. My children enjoy reen- both humorous and soberacting movies and pretend ing. Much the same way,
we take on characteristics of the environment and people who influence us most. What do you imitate? Whom do you imitate? For the Christian, the Apostle Paul challenges Christians, “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” Ephesians 5:8. Paul does not call us to be a weak imitation; instead we should be a living sacrifice for God. The Apostle Paul’s life typified
his dear son in the faith, Timothy, as another model. It must be said, neither Paul nor Timothy acted haughty or arrogant in their position of Christian models. Rather, Christ’s love consumed them, and as a result, they became imitators of Christ. What about you and me? Without a doubt, people observe our lives and there are those who imitate us. Would we be pleased or ashamed for others to imitate us? Throw off the world’s standard of imitation. Do not conform to the world’s imitators. Be imitators of Christ!

Local soldiers headed to Iraq are honored by KM community at luncheon on Thursday Local people said bon voyage to over 160 members of the 878th National Guard Engineering Company before the troop deploys to Iraq in February at a luncheon provided last Thursday by numerous restaurants in the community and hosted by the City of Kings Mountain at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life and Conference Center. The mayor and city council members had a chance to chat with the
soldiers as they and others in the community served lunch. There was no program, just good conversation, and the mayor welcomed the crowd, expressing gratitude from the community for the service of the National Guard. The 878th Engineering Company builds medical centers, offices, and living quarters for troops overseas. For some of the soldiers it will be their first deployment overseas.
“Patrick Center was closed Wednesday because of the snow and Thursday morning we had only about 1 ½ hours to get the facility ready. City crews pitched in to scrape the parking lot and entrance and Center staff and others put up tables and put the food out. City council pitched in to help serve the meal to the soldiers,’’ said Mayor Scott Neisler, thanking all those who helped to make the event a success.

By JIM MILLER Editor
What To Do When a Loved One Dies Dear Savvy Senior, This may seem like a strange question, but can you tell me what steps need to be taken after a loved one dies? My 80-year-old father has a terminal illness, and I would like to find out what I will need to do when he passes. Only Daughter Dear Only, I’m sorry about your father’s situation but this is a great question many families inquire about when a loved one’s death becomes imminent. Here’s a run-down of some things you can do now, and after his death, that can help keep a sad event from becoming even more painful. Before Death Occurs There are several tasks you can do now while your father is still living, that will make things a lot easier and less hectic for you after he dies. For starters, find out where your dad keeps all his important papers like his will (also make sure it’s updated), birth certificate, marriage and divorce certificates, Social Security information, life-insurance policies, military discharge papers, financial documents, and keys to a safe deposit box or home safe.
Also, if your dad doesn’t have an advanced directive, help him make one (see CaringInfo.org for free state-specific forms and instructions). An advanced directive includes a living will that specifies his end-of-life medical treatments, and appoints a health-care proxy to make medical decisions if he becomes incapacitated. In addition, you may also want to get a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order, which will tell health care professionals not to perform CPR when your dad’s heart or breathing stops. Your dad’s doctor can help you with this. You should also pre-arrange his funeral and burial or cremation. Immediately After Death Once your father dies, you’ll need to get a legal pronouncement of death. If no doctor is present, you’ll need to contact someone to do this. So, if your dad dies at home under hospice care, call the hospice nurse, who can declare his death and help facilitate the transport of the body. If he dies at home without hospice care, call 911, and have in hand his DNR
document. Without one, paramedics will generally start emergency procedures and, except where permitted to pronounce death, take the person to an emergency room for a doctor to make the declaration. If no autopsy is needed, you will need to call the funeral home, mortuary or crematorium to pick up the body. If your dad is an organ or tissue donor, contact the funeral home or the county coroner immediately. Within a Few Days If funeral plans were not pre-arranged, you’ll need to make arrangements and prepare an obituary. If your dad was in the military or belonged to a fraternal or religious group, you should contact those organizations too, because they may have burial benefits or conduct funeral services. Up to 10 Days After Death To wind down your dad’s financial affairs, you’ll need to get multiple copies of his death certificate. These are typically provided by the funeral home. If you’re the executor of your dad’s estate, take his will to the appropriate
county or city office to have it accepted for probate. And open a bank account for your dad’s estate to pay bills, including taxes, funeral costs, etc. You also need to contact your dad’s estate attorney if he has one; tax preparer to see if estate or final income taxes should be filed; financial advisor for information on financial holdings; life insurance agent to get claim forms; his bank to locate and close accounts; and Social Security (800-772-1213) and other agencies that provided benefits to stop payments and, if applicable, ask about survivor benefits. You should also cancel his credit cards and, if relevant, stop household services like utilities, mail, etc. For more information on the duties of an executor, a great resource is “The Executor’s Guide: Settling A Loved One’s Estate or Trust” available at Nolo.com for $32. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

McRae in George Whitfield Hall of Fame Kings Mountain’s Bob McRae was recently inducted into the George Whitfield Hall of Fame at the 46th ceremony at Wayne Community College. Over the years, the former legendary North Carolina high school baseball coach has inducted hundreds of athletes, coaches, and others who made significant contributions to their professions, society and their communities. McRae, retired school administrator who served Kings Mountain District Schools first as principal at KMHS and later as superintendent, was recognized for his long-
time involvement with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. In the fall, McRae was selected to the NCHSAA Hall of Fame and will be recognized with the other inductees at a banquet in Cary, NC in April. McRae volunteered his time with the NCHSAA for several years. He served as the group’s president from 1997-98 and chaired the realignment committee for three years. He was North Carolina’s Superintendent of the Year in 1985. Whitfield, now retired, is one of the winningest coaches in North Carolina sports history. He won over 1,200
Kings Mountain’s Bob McRae was recently inducted into George Whitfield’s Hall of Fame. games during his career at four schools and for years has hosted the George Whitfield Baseball Clinic which attracts players and scouts from all
over the nation. Joining McRae in this year’s inductee class are many well-known coaches, including UNC women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell who is a Gastonia native and graduate of Hunter Huss High School; Bob Lewis, legendary high school coach whose teams won three state championships; and Bob Paroli, former NC State player who coached prep football for 55 years at several different schools including Fayetteville 71st where his 2008 team won the state 4A state championship. All of the 27 inductees had an association with sports –
ball and baseball in college. He recently received the Medal of Honor from President Trump for heroism in action. McRae said it was humbling to be associated with so many fellow inductees who accomplished so much in sports and other endeavors. “I’m honored to be honored by such a fine gentleman as George Whitfield. It’s pretty humbling to have been nominated with so many people of great character. I was really impressed to be alongside a Medal of Honor winner.”
and most stood out at their high schools and colleges – but many were also saluted for their outstanding service in other areas. Each inductee shared the stage with Coach Whitfield, who spoke of their accomplishments and then invited them to the podium to speak. “The man who spoke before me (James McCloughan) was a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient,” McRae said. “That was hard to follow.” McCloughan, a Michigan native, was a four-sport athlete in high school and wrestled and played foot-
Paysour’s put-back lifts KM over Shelby Kobe Paysour’s put back with 24 seconds left in the game gave the Kings Mountain Mountaineers the lead for good in a hard-fought 57-55 win over Shelby in a non-conference game last Tuesday at Shelby’s Lloyd Little Gymnasium. The game was one of the biggest comebacks for either team in their long rivalry that dates back to the 1920s and was the 100th victory for Mountaineer coach Grayson Pierce. It looked like the Lions would avenge an earlier-season loss to the Mountaineers when the hosts jumped out to a 15-3 first quarter and 31-14 halftime lead. The Mountaineers overcame their cold first half shooting effort and outscored the Lions 18-7 in the third period and 25-17 in the fourth to post their 13th victory in 17 games. Kings Mountain trailed 26-5 with just under five minutes to play in the first half before making their move.

Letter To Editor To the Editor: Tax Cuts Work The new year is already off to a strong start thanks to the recent Republican tax cuts. Since Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, more than 100 companies have pledged to use their tax savings on employee raises and bonuses. And businesses based in North Carolina are not shy about following in those footsteps. Aquesta Bank, headquartered in my District, is offering a $1,000 cash bonus to all of its employees while also raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour. Contrary to popular
belief, business owners are not just keeping the money for themselves. When job creators are left with more of their hard-earned money, they invest in new technology/equipment, expansion opportunities, employee benefits, and more. The tax legislation is already working in favor of the American people, and I am grateful to the North Carolina’s Republicans that supported this bill.

RALEIGH – North Carolina’s recent winter blast has many residents wondering what to do if their home sustains damage due to the snow and ice or if they are involved in an automobile accident. North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey offers the following tips to help consumers deal with questions surrounding their property or automobile coverage: What to Do if Damage Occurs to Your Home • Call your insurance company or agent with your policy number and other relevant information as soon as possible. Cooperate fully with the insurance company, and ask what documents, forms and data you will need. • Take photographs/ video of the damage. • Make the repairs necessary to prevent further damage to your property (i.e., cover broken windows, leaking roofs and damaged walls). Do not have permanent repairs made until your insurance company has inspected the property and you have reached an agreement on the cost of repairs. • Save all receipts, including those from the temporary repairs covered by your insurance policy. • If your home is damaged to the extent that you cannot live there, ask your insurance company Dover YMCA 2 – 45, Cyclones – 48 C: Landry Crawford 17, Zach Crawford 14 Saturday 1/6 Warriors – 14, Bulls – 11 W: Ethan Crawford 6, Christian Hill 4 B: Coryon Gaines 11 Cobras – 12, Jaguars – 4 C: Cole 8, Jayden Scire 4 J: Christian McQuage 2, Zachary Cameron 2 Jaguars – 28, Tarheels – 26 J: Tucker Robinette 7, Kee’don Linney 6 T: Ethan Guy 13, Bradley Floyd 8 Blue Devils – 37, Hornets – 47 B: Jamie Wilson 15, Peyton Ladd 5 H: Dagan Whitaker 17, Zack Champion 13 Cyclones – 47, Jazz – 46 C: Nolan Raby 38, Anthony Clark 3 J: Alec Bell 20, Tanner Childers 7
if you have coverage for additional living expenses incurred while repairs are being made. Save all receipts to document these costs. What Damage to Your Home is Covered? Damage caused by wind, trees or other falling objects, and the collapse of a structure due to weight of ice or snow are all covered under most standard homeowners’ policies. Frozen pipes as the result of extreme cold might not be covered if the damage is due to negligence, such as failing to maintain an adequate temperature in the house when the ability to do so is there. Check your policy and call your insurance agent or company if you need clarification or have specific questions. What Damage to Your Home is Not Covered? The following events are typically not covered by the standard homeowners’ insurance policy: Interior water damage from a storm when there is no damage to the roof or walls of your home; damage as the result of a flood; removal of fallen trees (if the trees do not land on and damage your home); food spoilage due to a power outage; and water damage from backed-up drains or sewers. Some insurers offer endorsements (such as additional protection that may be purchased) for certain coverages not covered under the standard homeowner policy. Check with your agent or company to determine your needs.
What to Do if You Are in an Automobile Accident • Call the police. • Obtain the following information: The names, addresses, telephone numbers and driver’s license numbers of all persons involved in the accident, and any witnesses. • Record the time, date, location, road conditions, make and year of vehicles involved, apparent damages and injuries, and your version of what happened. • Call your insurance agent or company to report the incident as soon as possible. Ask your agent what documents, forms and data you will need. • Take notes each time you talk with your insurance company, agent, lawyers, police or others involved in the situation. Write down the dates, times, names and subjects you talked about, as well as any decisions or promises made. • Ask your insurance company if you have coverage for a rental vehicle if your car is not drivable. Save all receipts and bills, including those from renting a car or having your car towed and/or stowed. Contact the N.C. Department of Insurance If you have a dispute with your insurer about the amount or terms of the claim settlement, or for more information about choosing the right coverage, contact the N.C. Department of Insurance at 1-855-408-1212.

Duke Energy proposes $62M Solar rebate program in NC CHARLOTTE – Duke Energy today proposed a $62 million solar rebate program designed to help its North Carolina customers with upfront costs of installing solar panels on their property. This is the first of three customer programs Duke Energy is proposing as part of the implementation of 2017’s Competitive Energy Solutions for North Carolina law – also known as House Bill 589. “The Competitive Energy Solutions law for North Carolina will reduce the cost our customers pay for solar, while also supporting their interest in solar energy in ways that are most meaningful for them,’’ said Duke Energy’s North Carolina president David Fountain. “For many customers, installing solar is a significant investment. Duke Energy’s rebate program will help them by lowering their initial costs.”
Currently in North Carolina Duke Energy has about 6,000 customers who have private solar systems – with a total capacity of just over 50 megawatts. The program expects to increase North Carolina’s private solar market by 200 percent over the next five years, providing an economic boost for the state’s solar installation business as well. “The proposed solar rebates program is the result of two years of collaboration between the N. C. Sustainable Energy Association and Duke Energy,’’ said Ivan Urlaub, NCSEA’s executive director. “If approved, this program will enable more North Carolinians across our state to realize the cost-saving benefits of solar. We are glad to have been a voice for electric consumers In the design of this program. NCSEA looks forward to partnering with all energy providers and their customers to continue inno-
vating solutions that open our growing clean energy market to everyone.” Under the program, residential customers will be eligible for a rebate of 60 cents per watt for solar energy systems 10 kilowatts or less. For example, a typical rooftop array of 8Kw would be eligible for a $4,800 rebate. Installed systems 10Kw or greater would be eligible for a maximum rebate of $6,000. Nonresidential customers would be eligible for 50 cents per watt. Nonprofit customers, such as churches and schools, would be eligible for an enhanced rebate of 75 cents per watt for systems 100Kw. or less. Installed systems 100Kw or greater would be eligible for a maximum rebate of $50,000 or $75,000 for nonprofit customers. The program needs to be approved by the N.C. Utilities Commission.
Goins to manage 2 Bridgestone plants NASHVILLE, TENN. – Bridgestone Americas, Inc. (Bridgestone) today announced one plant manager to oversee both of its North Carolina Firestone Fibers & Textiles plants, Kings Mountain and Gastonia, which are located about 10 miles apart. For the last two years, the plants were led by separate managers. Derrick Goins, Plant Manager of Kings Mountain, has been named plant manager for the Kings Mountain and Gastonia plants. In this role, Goins will oversee all plant operations for
both manufacturing facilities. Goins has more than 30 years of manufacturing leadership experience. He first joined the company in 2005 as an industrial fabric area manager at Kings Mountain and rejoined in 2014 as a business unit manager at the Gastonia plant. He also served as plant manager of the former Jackson, Mississippi, Firestone Building Products’ plant. “Derrick has been a true asset to our team. His experience, commitment to teammate development and overall leadership skills
will enable him to succeed in his expanded role,” said Brian Goldstine, president, Firestone Fibers & Textiles. “We are pleased to have Derrick’s leadership of Kings Mountain and Gastonia. This is a critical time for Kings Mountain with its expansion, so we are grateful for Derrick’s guidance through the project.” Goins holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from North Carolina Central University and an MBA from Averett University.
Begin Spring with Primroses in garden, say Town and County Garden clubbers Eight members of The Town and Country Garden Club met on Jan. 11 at the Patrick House. Club President Wendy Isbell led the reading of the Collect before hostess Glenda Crawford served a dinner of chicken casserole, green beans, cranberry-orange salad and pineapple cake. The business meeting, at which Mrs. Isbell presided, included reports from Susan Gibson, secretary, and Glenda Crawford, secretary. Florrie Hamrick will be hostess for the February meeting at which Connie Bell will present the program. “Primroses,’’ the common name of a group of early blooming plants, was the program topic of Glenda Crawford, program chairman. “When Primroses begin to flower spring cannot be far away,’’ she said, noting there are 400 different species ranging from those that prefer sun to those which tolerate deep shade. They vary considerably but can roughly be categorized into the evergreen auriculas, the taller candelabras which die right back in winter and
the Primrose – Polyanthus group, evergreen or deciduous, including the wild Primrose of Europe and Turkey Most primroses prefer partial shade although Primula Bhutanese and some of the cultivars of Primrose will thrive in more intense shade. Primroses are to planted in rich, deep, moist, fertile soil in Autumn or Spring with protection from extreme wet in winter. Mots species prefer slightly chalky soil with additional peat and leaf mould for the Ltimalayan species. Many are short lived and best raised from seed every four years. Cultivated primroses are among the loveliest of ornamental garden flowers. Many of these have been derived from the common primrose, which grows wild in woods and meadows of Europe. The primrose has deeply veined leaves and yellowish-white blossoms. A single blossom grows on one flower stalk. In the gardens and greenhouses, flowers of pure yellow, pink, lilac and various shades of red and single and double varieties can be seen. Some
primroses make excellent potted plants for windows. The primrose is the flower for the month of February. Primroses belong to the primrose family Primulaceae. The common primrose is genus primula species Primula Vulgaris, which has purplish, pink or red flowers from MarchApril. It is an evergreen or semi-evergreen perennial that grows to 6 inches tall, leaves to 4 inches, long forming rosettes of fragrant pale-yellow flowers with prominent deep yellow eyes. It is native to Europe, West Asia and North America, where it commonly grows wild in woods, hedgerows and pastures. In about 400 species making up the Primula-Primrose-Primulaceae family, more than 250 species have been cultivated, but only about 30 are important in the garden. Whatever the color or the height a Primrose is a lovely addition to the kitchen window or a special spot in the flower garden and a lovely way to begin Spring.

Relay for Life Team Project Feb. 17 (Ed. Note – The recipes in today’s cooking column come from “Recipes of a Lifetimeâ€? by Martha Smith Allen.) FRIED OYSTERS Martha Allen 1 pt. select oysters 2 eggs, beaten 2 Tbsp. water ½ cup plain flour Cracker crumbs Beat eggs, add water. Dip oysters in egg, then flour, back in egg and roll in cracker crumbs. Coat them good. After these have been coated, lay them out on wax paper at least 15 minutes before ready to fry. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. These are delicious. BROCCOLI CASSEROLE Helen Morris 2 boxes chopped broccoli 1 can mushroom soup 1 cup mayonnaise 2 eggs, well beaten 1 med. onion chopped 1 cup grated cheese Cook broccoli. Drain
and mix with other ingredients and top with cheese. Dot with butter and cover with seasoned bread crumbs or Pepperidge Farm dressing and bake about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. May be cut in half for smaller serving. CARROT CASSEROLE Shirley Rhyne 1 ½ lb. carrots, cooked until tender, drain 4 oz. Cheese Whiz 10 oz. cream of mushroom soup 1 can French fried onion rings Mix carrots, Cheese Whiz and mushroom soup while carrots are still hot, melting cheese. Place in casserole with onion rings on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. SWEET POTATO CRUNCH
Elvira Johnson Mix and pour into baking dish: 3 cups sweet potatoes, cooked, mashed 1 cup sugar ½ tsp. salt 1/3 stick butter or margarine 2 beaten eggs ½ cup milk 1 tsp. sherry, optional, or 1 tsp. lemon flavoring 1 tsp. butter flavoring Sprinkle with: 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup nuts, chopped 1/3 cup flour 1/3 stick butter or margarine Mix good and sprinkle over top. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes. CRAZY CAKE Martha Allen 1 cup plain flour 3 tbsp. cocoa 1 tsp. baking powder
ž tsp. salt ž cup sugar 2 Tbsp. margarine ½ cup milk 1 tsp. vanilla Place in mixer bowl the first 6 ingredients. Stir well and add milk and vanilla. Beat about 1-2 minutes. Mix the following in an 8-inch square pan: ž cup sugar, 5 Tbsp. cocoa, 1 2/3 cup boiling water. Mix this good in pan, dissolving all ingredients well. Into this pan, spoon lightly the first ingredients, spacing in the pan. This will be rather soupy but it is to have a custard appearance. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When ready to serve, cut out a square of the cake and put Cool Whip or ice cream on top. On top of this, dip some of the custard like mixture and place on top of Cool Whip or ice cream. Very delicious.
