By Loretta Cozart In a p r e s s release f r o m House Speaker T i m Moore, TIM MOORE it was announced that North Carolina House has passed the Free the Smiles Act on February 17, “in a veto-proof, bipartisan vote of 76-42. The bill will give parents the right to opt out of student mask mandates for their children.” North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore said, “All health care decisions for our students belong with their parents, not with politicians or bureaucrats. No one cares about these children more than their parents, and no one is better-suited to make these decisions.” He continued, “This action is long overdue. While politicians have failed to roll back these onerous restrictions that have resulted in learning loss, young children have paid the heaviest price for ongoing mandates and restrictions that are simply not based on science or current data.”

OPINION

Wednesday, February 23, 2022

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out. – Robert Collier

Pieces of Kings Mountain History These last two years with the pandemic have been hard LORETTA on everyCOZART one. I do not know anyone who was not impacted in one way or another. Whether you are a business owner trying to navigate the new normal of business, or folks just trying to deal with the loss of family members dear to their hearts. We have all been impacted. Now the North Carolina legislature is working to remove mask mandates after two years of requirements to the contrary. Is it a good thing, or a bad thing? It all depends upon who you ask. It also depends upon who you trust.

Early on, Dr. Fauci insisted masks helped protect us from the coronavirus. People resisted as big government insisted that we wear masks and “follow the science.” On February 11, NCDHHS continued to recommend that students in the classroom wear masks. But by February 17, Governor Cooper issued a statement saying, “We are taking a positive step on mask requirements to help us move safely toward a more normal day to day life. It’s time to focus on getting our children a good education and improving our schools, no matter how you feel about masks.” In a rare instance, Republican’s agreed and have passed the Free the Smiles Act, in

which House Speaker Tim Moore issued this statement, “All health care decisions for our students belong with their parents, not with politicians or bureaucrats. No one cares about these children more than their parents, and no one is better-suited to make these decisions.” I do not know if politics plays into this decision, but politicians are certainly involved in making policy. One must keep in mind that it is also an election year. Does this fact impact their politician’s behavior? Only they know that answer. Surprisingly, both Republicans and Democrats now support the lessening of mask mandates, so that is the path forward for our state. It is nice to see them finally

You can at least say “howdy…”

agree on something. So, where do we go from here? I cannot suggest what others do, nor would I presume to do that. So, I suggest we all do what makes us most comfortable. There is no crime in wearing, or not wearing, a mask. But we all must live our lives as we see fit. We are responsible for our and our family’s health, so that decision is ours alone to make. Do what you feel is right for you. While the COVID numbers are declining, Cleveland County still reported 530 cases and 12 deaths last week. The week prior, we had 1,025 cases and one death. The 28086 zip code has experienced 8,178 cases and 85 deaths so far. Those 85 deaths are loved ones who will be forever

“Howdy” was a common everyday word where I grew up. Raised on old Stidham, now known as Milo Road, in rural Appalachia, I spent a lot of time at my Grandpa and Grandma Hinkle’s Glenn Mollette Guest Editorial store. People came and went, buying gasoline, sandwich meat, snacks, or groceries for the week. There were cane bottom chairs in the store. Often people would sit and chat for a while. Regardless of how many times during the week I walked down the road to that store, the opening salutation was typically, “howdy.” People were in and out of the Hinkle store doing business. A family member was often coming or going because my grandparents had raised 10 children and there were many grandchildren who frequented the Hinkle business. Often, family members were buying a soda pop or just stopping in to say “howdy.” We grew up on Milo Road speaking to most everyone who came and went. When a car drove by, we usually waved even though we didn’t always know them. At family or church gatherings we typically talked to everyone for a minute or two and shook hands or hugged a few people. The only time I can remember our family being speechless was when 15 or 20 of us were sitting on the porch and a man from New York City pulled up in an older car. My grandpa had received an advertisement in the mail about a great used car he could buy for $500. He ordered the car to surprise my grandma and we were all really surprised when this man pulled

in front of the store in an old beat-up looking car. He had driven the car from New York City, which was a long drive on those roads back then. After being drop-jaw stunned silent for a few minutes, everyone loosened up and eventually started talking to the man who was just doing a job but now had to get back to New York. By this time, some of us were chuckling just a little. A couple of the family members took the guy over to Kermit, West Virginia, to catch a Greyhound bus to begin his long journey back home. A part of American culture has been hand shaking and embracing those we know. A part of most American religious gatherings has been shaking hands. One church I attended insisted on everybody hugging each other. COVID-19 has impacted our world with death, sickness and business failures. The distancing for many of us continues to be tough. We wear our masks and seldom know who else is in the grocery store. We’re fearful of going to the funeral home to honor and respect the deceased. Shaking hands or embracing anyone anywhere is typically totally not welcome. Many holiday parties of large gatherings were fewer over the past holidays. People don’t want to be sick and so the distancing continues. We do have the telephone, social media and email which helps us at least stay connected. However, please keep in mind, when you do recognize someone at the grocery or any public place you may not feel comfortable embracing or shaking hands, but you can still convey a greeting and kindness by at least saying “howdy.”

Sibley-Newton) and his bossy big sister, Savannah (Mary Grace Keller), when he gets the call. Unfortunately, an air traffic controllers’ strike has just begun across the nation and Walker is at a loss for what to do. But his Mama, as usual, is not. And when she proclaims, “Family Road Trip!” Walker, from experience, knows disaster can’t be far behind. And is he ever right—as the clock ticks, Mama and her squabbling offspring jump in a car and sprint across two thousand miles of America and through its most unbelievably eccentric and colorful communities, and comedic chaos follows them everywhere. Despite experiencing zany alien encounters near Roswell, New Mexico, witnessing an uproarious last-minute wedding with off-their-rockers relatives, participating unwillingly in a high-speed police chase across Texas, surviving a churning river on a daiquiri party barge, and even escaping a wild New Orleans Mardi Gras night court, this exuberantly desperate trio drive on, determined to make it to Alabama before the new baby is born. And heaven help anyone who gets

The Town of Grover is at capacity, so Project South will assist them in needed capacity, upgrades, and expanding their customer base. Natural Gas infrastructure will also be part of the utility expansion into this area using a different route than sewer. NCDOT right-of-way installation was noted. As the city starts the proposed expansion, they will be contacting the property owners along the way to offer natural gas service, giving them the opportunity to consider becoming a natural gas customer of the City of Kings Mountain. Natural Gas service in the area is limited, so many use propane. The city is offering to wave tap fees during installation of the gas line expansion. Why does Project South need a Right of Way Easement? The County, the City, and the Town of Grover have recognized the need for sewer capacity along the 1-85 corridor and believe that the best alternative to provide sewer service to the 1-85 corridor is to develop a regional approach to solving the problem of needed sewer capacity. After reviewing various alternatives,

the group believes the best alternative is to provide a stand-alone wastewater collection and treatment facility in the service area that can meet the current and long-term needs for wastewater collection and treatment. The plan would provide a major collection line to provide gravity sewer service along the 1-85 corridor from Kings Mountain (Exit 8) to the Town of Grover and construct a new 4.0 million gallon per day wastewater treatment facility that can be expanded to sixty million gallons per day. If owners are asked to grant a Right of Way Easement, it is because a portion of their property has been deemed appropriate for the installation of the wastewater collection line.

Love God, Love others others. To be certain, some people are easier to love than others. For instance, I love my wife. She’s easy to love. Our relationship is strong. One would hope this would be the case for a married couple. We have been married for almost 20 years and best friends for 25. However, all good relationships take time to grow and deepen. We spend time together and do things for one another. We know each other’s love languages and try our best to care for one another as we put our love into action. Neglecting one another can result in a strained marriage. Similarly, we must not

As we finish our month together, I would like to offer final observations on loving o t h e r s . Dr. Jonathan Do you M. Bundon have a Worship Pastor hard time First Baptist Church dealing with difficult people? Sure, we all have moments when people test our sanity and ability to bite our tongue. For the Christian, our actions must go beyond tolerating people; rather we are called to love

neglect our relationship with Christ if we hope to deepen and grow in Christ. Our relationship with Christ directly affects how we relate to and love people. Christ’s love compels us. 1 John 4:19 reminds us of this, we love because he first loved us. A thriving relationship with Christ will positively impact the love for our family and friends as well as those who may be more of a challenge. The love Christ gives compels us to love others. You and I must live a life aware of Christ living in us and have the desire to love those as Christ loves us. Proverbs 3:3-4 reminds us

to “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” Believe me, when you purposefully show the love of Christ to others, people will recognize it. As this world seems to grow darker, the light and love of Christ will shine brighter. Hence, we can be a light to this world. Love God, love others. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Speakers’ Series planned for KM Historial Museum By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain Historical Museum has begun a speaker series beginning on February 26 at 1 p.m. Planned events include: Author Talk & Book Signing for the Second Edition of Sorting Out the New South, by Tom Hanchett. Tickets · $8 via Eventbrite. How did American cities become segregated — both by race and income? Historian Tom Hanchett visits to talk about the new edition of his UNC Press history book Sorting Out the New South City. It uses Charlotte as a case study to explore the public policies and private choices that dramatically increased segregation during the 20th century. It is history that can help us understand issues that are swirling in the headlines today. Dr. Tom Hanchett retired in 2016 as staff historian at Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte. He writes widely on Southern history and culture, including studies of Rosenwald Schools, country music in North Carolina, and immigrant foodways in today’s South. www.HistorySouth.org Amazon currently offers the Sorting book at an attractive discount: http://www.amazon.com/ Sorting-Out-South.../ dp/1469656442/ Tales and Tombstones of Sunset Cemetery: Author Talk & Book Signing.

book Tales and Tombstones of Sunset Cemetery: Tracing Lives and Memorial Customs in a Southern Graveyard. The talk is a conversation between a journalist who tells the tales of interesting people buried in historic Sunset Cemetery in Shelby, NC, and an academic who discusses the epitaphs and icons on their tombstones. Come learn about a woman who has earned a reputation as a witch, the nation’s most successful bank robber, how people coped with tragically high infant mortality, what tombstones tell us about gender expectations, and much more. Joe DePriest is an award-winning journalist who grew up in Shelby, North Carolina. After graduating from Gardner-Webb College and the University of North Carolina School of Journalism in Chapel Hill, he was a United States Army journalist in Vietnam and a reporter for the Shelby Star, the Charlotte Observer, and other North Carolina newspapers.

HATS OFF! A History of Headwear By January Costa KMHM Director & Curator

Kings Mountain Historical Museum invites the public to mark the calendar for their upcoming exhibit opening, HATS OFF! A History of Headwear. The production and use of hats has seen cultural and social changes throughout history. In the past, hats were usually more about fashion than function. The Kings Mountain Historical Museum has collected a variety of hats and

head coverings over the years as part of an overall effort to preserve our communities' shared history. This exhibit will feature highlighted pieces from our collections and explore the history of headwear and its place in our culture. We will examine the creation and evolution of hats, symbolism and style, and how they are an expression of functionality and form. Exhibit is on display February 22 – May 14, Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Admission is free!

NC politicians agree on State House map In a vote of 115-5, following a mutual agreement between both Democrats and Republicans, the North Carolina House passed a new state map in a bipartisan vote on February 16. A joint statement from House Speaker Tim Moore and House Minority Leader Robert Reives shared, “Today, House Leadership from both parties reached

an agreement on a State House map. We are confident that this will result in a map that has bipartisan support. This agreement is the result of several days of good faith discussions between House leaders in both parties.” The new map was passed by the state senate on February 17 and includes proposed Con-

gressional District 14, that encompasses Cleveland, Gaston, and parts of Rutherford and Mecklenburg Counties. The North Carolina Supreme Court has until February 23 to approve the new map, because candidate filing begins on February 24. Earlier this year, U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn announced running in the

proposed District 14, and NC House Speaker Tim Moore announced his plans to focus on his re-election as Speaker of the NC House. With these changes, it remains to be seen if Cawthorn will continue to run in District 14, or if Moore will toss his hat in the race for Congress.

The NC Supreme Court votes on this new Congressional map this week and candidate filing resumes on February 24. Map by ncleg.gov

Taking a closer look at Project South By Loretta Cozart On February 8, City of Kings Mountain, Town of Grover, and Cleveland County shared a plan for the proposed Project South Wastewater Treatment system proposed for the Dixon Community. Those who attended the event received maps showing the project in greater detail.

The Herald obtained these maps so readers will have a better idea where the rightof-way may be needed. City leaders say the rights-of-way needed for lines is close to what they anticipate being needed, the location of the wastewater treatment plant has not yet been determined. Readers should reach out to City of Kings Mountain for further information.

Commercial vehicle supplier to invest $4 Million in Morganton expansion To add 25 new jobs nearby

Meritor, Inc., a supplier of commercial vehicle solutions, will add 25 new jobs in Burke County, Governor Roy Cooper announced last week. The company will invest more than $4 million to expand its trailer operation in the City of Morganton. “North Carolina has been intentional in our efforts to create a thriving manufacturing economy,” said Governor Cooper. “Companies like Meritor know they can rely on our extensive transportation network, affordability, and resilient workforce to execute their growth strategies.” A leading supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking, aftermarket, and powertrain solutions, Meritor has a portfolio including innovative products for commercial vehicle and industrial markets. As one of four operations in NC, the Morganton expansion will increase its production capacity of axles and underframe components for the North American semi-trailer market. “Meritor has a proud history in North Carolina,” said John Nelligan, Senior Vice President and President, Truck, Americas, at Meritor. “We look forward to further expanding our footprint with this important investment in Morganton.” “This expansion is another example of North Carolina’s ability to support companies across all industries,” said N.C. Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders. “Growing manufacturers want to operate in places where they have access to a highly-skilled workforce for their present and future needs. North Carolina’s First in Talent plan will engage workforce development partners and training systems that will meet employers’ needs.” The new positions will include engineers, techni-

Burke County’s overall average annual wage is $39,499. A performance-based grant of $75,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will help with Meritor’s expansion in North Carolina. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance to local governments to help attract economic investment and to create jobs. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for payment. All One NC grants require matching participation from local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being met. “This is great news for Burke County,” said N.C. Senator Warren Daniel. “These highly skilled jobs and continued investment will make a positive impact on the people of our community.” “Meritor’s expansion is a vote of confidence for our region,” said N.C. Representative Hugh Blackwell. “It is particularly exciting to know that the projected average wage for the company’s new employees is $63,200 per year. We look forward to supporting the company’s continued success and contributions to our local economy.” In addition to the N.C. Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, other key partners in the project include the North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina Community College System, Western Piedmont Community College, Western Piedmont Council of Governments, Burke County, Burke Development, Inc., and City of Morganton. of the desolate settlement. In this first historically comprehensive book on Lost Cove, the author paints a portrait of an isolated yet thriving settlement that survived for almost one hundred years. From its founding before the Civil War to the town’s ultimate decline, Lost Cove’s history is an indepth account of family life and kinship in isolation. The author explores historically relevant interviews and genealogical findings from railroad documents, old newspaper articles, church records and deeds. Also included are oral histories that provide authentic, conversational accounts from families in the cove. Christy Smith grew up in Erwin, Tennessee, a small railroad town known as “the valley beautiful.” Her passion for history and writing began in her teens with oral stories from her grandmother and grandfather. She graduated from East Tennessee State University in 2007 with a Liberal Arts degree in Appalachian Studies. Christy teaches part-time Appalachian Studies courses at King University in Bristol, Tennessee and she is the Director of Unicoi County Prevention Coalition which focuses on educating the community and youth about substance abuse and misuse.

Patriots beat Lincolnton to take sole possession of first

Senior Peyton Fisher, top photo, and sophomore Trevor Moore, bottom photo, represented KMHS in the state 3A wrestling tournament last week in Greensboro.

KMHS wrestler Peyton Fisher second in state 3A tournament Kings Mountain High wrestler Peyton Fisher sat out his junior season last year to concentrate on his baseball skills. That paid off for him as he received a full scholarship offer to play collegiately when he leaves here. He completed his high school wrestling career Saturday in Greensboro by advancing to the championship battle in the 3A division. He lost 8-3 to Jonathon Hance of Central Davidson. Even though he fell short in that match, he still accomplished something that many wrestlers do not. In just three years, he posted an even 100 victories. He accomplished

that the night before with a third round 6-1 decision over Colby Mace of Fred

T. Foard. He opened tournament action on Thursday with

a 6-1 victory over Michael Locklear of Scotland County, See FISHER, Page 2B

Kings Mountain Middle’s Patriots took over sole possession of first place in the Tri-County Conference East Division last week with an exciting 74-67 win over Lincolnton. Both teams went into the game with unbeaten records. Both got off to a great start exchanging baskets. Brayden Mull’s assist found Charlie Foster in the high post for a quick field goal 30 seconds into the game. Tucker Robinette’s steal and assist to Bradley Floyd gave the Patriots their first lead at 4-3. Caleb Nixon’s pass to Silas Tate for a deep three gave KM its biggest lead of the first half at 9-7 at the 2:30 mark of the first quarter. The lead exchanged hands nine times during the quarter as Lincolnton took the lead at 17-13. The fast pace continued in the second period, but

the Patriots got cold from the field and the Wildcats grew their lead to 28-17 with three minutes left in the half. Tate passed to Floyd for a 3-pointer and Floyd passed to Tate for a fast break layup to get the Patriots to within 28-24. Lincolnton went on to lead 39-32 at the half. The Patriots turned up their defense in the third quarter and limited Lincolnton to just three free throws over the first 3 1/2 minutes. Nixon’s floater tied the game at 42-all before Lincolnton went back up 47-42. Two free throws by Mull, Nixon and Mull lay-ups and a Nixon three gave the Pats their first lead since the first quarter, 51-48 going into the fourth quarter. Jumpers by Nixon and Floyd extended KM’s lead to 55-52. The Patriots tightened up their defense and See LINCOLNTON, Page 2B

Patriots beat Burns to go 12-0, playoffs underway this week Kings Mountain Middle School’s boys basketball team finished the regular season Thursday with a convincing 57-27 win over county rival Burns. The undefeated Patriots were scheduled to host Crest in the first round of the conference playoffs yesterday. The Patriots got off to a slow start against Burns, going 3 for 12 from the field in the first period. But, their free throw shooting and zone defense gave them an early lead. Caleb Nixon’s floater got the Pats on the board and free throws by Brayden Mull and Charlie Foster gave the team a quick 5-2

lead. Mull’s two offensive put-backs gave the Patriots an 11-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. KM was able to get going offensively in the second period as Tucker Robinette and Bradley Floyd scored eight and four points, respectively, and KM picked up its defensive tempo by limiting the Eagles to just three baskets to lead 27-8 at intermission. In the third quarter, KM came out hot from three point land as Nixon, Floyd and Robinette all contributed to increase the lead to 45-20 entering the final quarter. See BURNS, Page 2B

KMHS basketball ends season, advances to state tournament KINGS MOUNTAIN nale was a barn-burner. Ashbrook jumped out to a big 24-15 lead in the first quarter and was on top 37-27 at the half and 52-47 going into the fourth quarter. But, the KM ladies made it interesting at the end. A Saniya Wilson layup with under a minute to play tied the game at 6060. Ashbrook threw the ball out of bounds with 22 seconds left. Wilson was able to take a baseline inbounds pass from Alayna Patrick the length of the floor and was fouled with nine seconds left. She hit one of the two free throws to give the Lady Mountaineers the lead, but Ashbrook’s Kennette Bess was able to get to the free throw line with 4.5 seconds to play and hit both ends of a one-and-one to give the Lady Green Wave their victory margin. Wilson missed a buzzer beater from just beyond the arc as time expired. Wilson finished with another spectacular night with 34 points, giving her a record 1,672 in four years on the KM varsity. She also had six rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks. See BASKETBALL, Page 2B

WEEK

Kings Mountain High’s men’s and women’s varsity basketball teams ended their regular season last week with second place finishes in the annual Big South 3A Conference tournament and are playing in the state 3A tournament this week. Both local teams were scheduled to open post-season play last night at home. The women, ranked #16, were to face #17 Canton Pisgah with the winner advancing to a Thursday bout against the winner of the #1 Jesse Carson vs. #32 West Charlotte game; and the men, ranked #14, were to battle 19th seed Southern Guilford with the winner advancing to the winner of the #3 Crest vs. #30 Ashe County contest. The Lady Mountaineers, who tied with Ashbrook for the regular season conference championship, dropped a tough rubber-match decision to the Lady Green Wave 62-61 in the conference tournament finale Friday at Crest High School. The Mountaineers, who finished a strong second to Crest in the men’s race, lost to the mighty Chargers again in the tournament finals, 69-59. Like their two regular season games, the women’s tournament fi-

Saniya Wilson ran her KMHS career point total to 1,672 in Big South Conference tournament loss to Ashbrook and was ready to add to her total as the Lady Mountaineers opened state tourney action last night.

LINCOLNTON From Page 1B held to Wildcats to just one bucket in the first three minutes. A Floyd jumper and a Nixon three-pointer gave KM its biggest lead of the game, 62-55, with just over 3:30 to play. Foster’s offensive rebound helped KM maintain its lead at 64-58. The Wildcats were able to pull within 64-62 before Floyd’s put-back gave KM a two possession lead with two minutes to play. Mull’s layup and Floyd’s tip-in finished the scoring. The win clinched the number one seed for KM in the East Division. Floyd led the KM attack with 25 points on 11 for 14 shooting. He also had eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and five blocks. Nixon scored 22 points on 8 for 15 shooting. He hit two threes and dished out three assists. Brayden Mull had a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds, and also had two steals. Charlie Foster scored six points to go with nine rebounds and a block, Tucker

Robinette four points, Silas Tate five points and three assists, Christian Jarrett two points and Ty Howard two rebounds and a steal. KM hit 34 of 40 shots, including 30 of 56 inside the arc. The Patriots turned the ball over only 11 times and had 37 rebounds, including 18 on offense, 14 assists and six blocks. “This was one of the most intense games I’ve ever been a part of,” said Coach Shane Cole. “Two teams battling for first place. We were fortunate to win. LJ Smith for Lincolnton was unconscious. We threw everything at him. We slowed him down a little in the second half. He had 41 points, so we didn’t slow him down much. “It was a great team win,” Cole added. “Robinette and Tate on defense put the team first. And our bench came through again. The combination of Tate, Jarrett and Howard (seven points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal) were a tremendous lift for us.” Kings Mountain was scheduled to host Crest Tuesday in the first round of the conference playoffs.

update mask recommendation Governor Roy Cooper and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services S e c r e t a r y GOV. COOPER Kody H. Kinsley provided an update on the state’s COVID-19 metrics and trends on February 17. As North Carolina’s COVID19 metrics continue to move in the right direction and with vaccines widely available, Governor Cooper encouraged schools and local governments to end their mask mandates. “We are taking a positive step on mask requirements to help us move safely toward a more normal day to day life,” said Governor Cooper. “It’s time to focus on getting our children a good education and improving our schools, no matter how you feel about masks.” As entities decide how to move forward, people and businesses should continue to make the best decisions for themselves, their employees, and their customers. There are still some places, such as health care, long-term care, and transportation like airplanes, where a mask will be required because of the setting or federal regulations. As it has throughout the pandemic, North Carolina is adapting its response based on the data and for the current stage of the pandemic. Vaccines and boosters are widely available and have protected millions of people against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Treatment is available for those at higher risk of severe disease. And the state’s COVID-19 trends are decreasing, lowering the risk of infection, and improving hospital capacity.

“NCDHHS has always been committed to using the right tools at the right time to combat COVID-19 and chart a course for us all to get back to the people, experiences, and places we love,” said Secretary Kinsley. “At this time, the most effective tools are vaccines and boosters. Everyone five and older should get a COVID-19 vaccine and everyone 12 and older should get a booster as soon as they are eligible. It’s not too late to vaccinate.” To date, North Carolina has administered over 15.7 million doses of the COVID19 vaccine, with 71 percent of the adult population fully vaccinated. About 75 percent of adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine, including 96 percent of North Carolinians 65 and over. About 51 percent of eligible adults have received their booster shot. North Carolinians can learn more about the state’s vaccine distribution at myspot.nc.gov (English) or Vacunate.nc.gov (Spanish). Find a nearby vaccine provider using NCDHHS’ online tool, Find a Vaccine Location. The state’s COVID-19 vaccine hotline number is 888675-4567. Changes to K12 StrongSchoolsNC and ChildCareStrongNC Toolkits were announced this week and become effective March 7. As the state emerges from the latest surge, the COVID-19 landscape looks different today than it did two years ago, or even two months ago. “We continue to learn more about the virus and have effective tools to reduce to risk to people. As it has throughout the pandemic, NCDHHS adapts its response based on the emerging science and evidence to best protect North Carolinians and use the tools we have to get back to the people, experiences, and places we love, the announce-

ment states. Three specific differences were noted: vaccines and boosters are widely available and help protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death, treatment is available for those at higher risk of severe disease, and trends are decreasing, lowering the risk of infection, and improving hospital capacity. At this phase in the pandemic, for the K12 StrongSchoolsNC Toolkit, NCDHHS recommends that schools: • Promote vaccinations and boosters for students and staff by providing accurate information and hosting vaccination events • Participate in the School Testing Program • Consider moving to voluntary masking at the discretion of local authorities as universal masking is a less important tool in lower risk settings like schools. • Masks are recommended in indoor settings for people at high risk for severe disease and who are not up to date on vaccines Masks are required following a COVID infection and recommended after a COVID exposure. • Because masks can add a layer of protection for those who want it, schools should support students and staff who choose to wear a mask. For the ChildCareStrongNC Toolkit NCDHHS recommends: • Vaccines and boosters are widely available and help protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. • Treatment is available for those at higher risk of severe disease. • Trends are decreasing, lowering the risk of infection, and improving hospital capacity.

As documented by this international honor, LCI is dedicated to delivering world-class treatment that never overshadows its commitment to the real people, families and lives touched by the care provided by LCI teammates. “The Planetree award helps us to focus each day on the needs and concerns of our patients and their caregivers,” said Derek Raghavan, MD, president of Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute. “While we consistently focus on all the medical aspects of care, we don’t neglect the nuances and subtleties that are part of making patients feel safe and among friends. Our Planetree commitment extends to all aspects of our treatment and research and to all parts of our community.” Examples of this work in action include: • The establishment of a Patient and Family Advisory Council – an outlet for patients and families to share their input on how to improve the overall patient experience at LCI. • The creation of a lounge at LCI funded by the Carolina Panthers so family

members of patients can rest or work while supporting a patient receiving treatment. • The founding of the first Financial Toxicity Tumor Board, which helps patients experiencing financial challenges with cancer receive support on how to best navigate the costs of cancer care. • Enhanced focus on ensuring that cancer patients safely and effectively receive appropriate care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This dedication to COVID-Safe care allowed LCI to publish national guidelines on this topic in the early stages of the pandemic so that other cancer centers have a trusted playbook to follow when navigating similar challenges. • Ongoing support to care for all through outreach programs that provide cancer education and screenings to more than 60,000 people per year, many of whom are underserved and impoverished. • The development of the first mobile CT scanning unit that screens underserved populations, mostly in rural environments, for lung cancer. Research conducted by LCI shows that with early interventions, they can offer a cure to some of these patients. The lymphoma team has published data to show that minorities diagnosed with lymphoma do not have worse outcomes if optimally managed and survival figures are equivalent to those of patients who are well insured and well resourced, and which are equivalent to the best in the USA. “The Planetree Certification is the only award that recognizes excellence in person-centeredness across the continuum of care,” said Susan Frampton, president of Planetree International, a not-for-profit organization

Proper way to turn at median crossover By Loretta Cozart With the two new crossovers now available on Shelby Road, Kings Mountain Police Department wants to refresh everyone on the proper way to make a left turn at a median crossover. In front of the Swoogers, or at any median cross over without a light, be sure to turn into the far side of the crossover as you enter it and come to a complete stop. Drivers coming into the median crossover from the oncoming lane of approaching traffic should enter to your left, their right. The reason behind this is that both drivers can then see traffic approaching the crossover. If drivers use the left side instead, the view of approaching traffic is blocked. Chief Proctor reminds everyone that drivers should remain at a stop until all approaching traffic passes. “You are responsible for making sure all lanes of traffic are clear before proceeding.” If you use the crossover at Roxford Road, be sure to follow the directions from the traffic signal.

ATRIUM From Page 3B that has been at the forefront of the movement to transform healthcare from the perspective of patients for more than 40 years. “This Gold Certification signals to its patients and community that Levine Cancer Institute is an organization where staff partner with patients and families, and where patient and family comfort, dignity, empowerment and well-being are prioritized as key elements of providing top-quality clinical care.” Levine Cancer Institute

is focused on the welfare of its patients and their caregivers, while simultaneously having a focus on providing the best medical care, the newest, most effective treatments, and a commitment to developing new approaches to diagnose and treat patients. Because of this deep level of responsibility to putting patients first, LCI is invited to participate in many clinical trials that have led to FDA approval of new anticancer treatments. A significant achievement in this space includes the enrollment of the first patient in the world on multiple groundbreaking

The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com trials. “Our work is a demonstration of not just advancing cancer research but providing real benefits to patients, weaving in unmatched support for the emotional, physical and financial challenges that cancer can cause, as early as possible,” said Raghavan. The criteria that Levine Cancer Institute satisfied to achieve Planetree Gold Certification reflect what patients, residents, family members and healthcare professionals in hundreds of focus groups say matters most to them during a healthcare experience. This

qualitative data aligns with the growing evidence base for person-centered care, and establishes the Person-Centered Care Certification Program as a concrete framework for defining and measuring excellence in person-centeredness. The criteria address components of a person-centered healthcare experience, including the quality of patient-provider interactions, access to information, family involvement and the physical environment of care. Importantly, the criteria also focus on how the organization supports staff, opportunities for staff, pa-

Page 5B tients and families to have a voice in the way care is delivered, and the ways that Levine Cancer Institute is reaching beyond its walls to care for its community. As part of the certification process — which included a validation assessment by representatives from Planetree — discussion with Levine Cancer Institute patients, families and current staff validated that specific person-centered policies are in place, including non-restrictive visiting hours and a shared medical record policy; that staff members at all levels are involved in the implemen-

tation of person-centered care; and that the organization’s physical environment supports patient and family engagement in their care. The process also included a review of the organization’s performance on patient experience and quality of care measures, and how measurement of these indicators improves organizational outcomes.

How to Convince an Elderly Parent to Stop Driving Dear Savvy Senior, What is the best way to deal with older drivers who probably shouldn’t be driving anymore? My dad, who’s 86, is bound and determined to keep driving as long as he’s alive. Backseat Daughter Dear Backseat, For many families, talking to an elderly parent about giving up the car keys can be a very difficult and sensitive topic. While there’s no one way to handle this issue, here are a few suggestions that can help you evaluate your dad’s driving and ease him out from behind the wheel when the time is right. Take a Ride To get a clear picture of your dad’s driving abilities, a good first step, if you haven’t already done so, is to take a ride with him and watch for problem areas. For example: Does he have difficulty seeing, backing up or changing lanes? Does he react slowly, get confused easily or make poor driving decisions? Does he drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate or drift between lanes? Also, has your dad had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any

dents or scrapes on his vehicle? These, too, are red flags.

If you need some help and your dad is willing, consider hiring a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate elderly drivers and provide safety suggestions. This type of assessment typically costs between $200 and $400. To locate a professional in your area, visit AOTA.org/older-driver or ADED. net. Transitioning and Talking After your assessment, if you think it’s still safe for your dad to drive, see if he would be willing to take an older driver refresher course. These courses will show him how aging affects driving skills and offers tips and adjustments to help keep him safe. Taking a class may also earn your dad a discount on his auto insurance. To locate a class, contact your local AAA (AAA. com) or AARP (AARPdriversafety. org, 888-227-7669). Most courses cost around $20 to $30 and can be taken online. If, however, your assessment shows that

your dad really does need to stop driving, you need to have a talk with him, but don’t get carried away. If you begin with a dramatic outburst like “Dad, you’re going to kill someone!” you’re likely to trigger resistance. Start by simply expressing your concern for his safety.

For more tips on how to talk to your dad about this and evaluate his driving skills, the Hartford Financial Services Group and MIT AgeLab offers a variety of resources to assist you. Visit TheHartford.com/lifetime and click on “Publications” on the menu bar, then on the “We Need to Talk” guidebook. Refuses to Quit If your dad refuses to quit, you have several options. One possible solution is to suggest a visit to his doctor who can give him a medical evaluation, and if warranted, “prescribe” that he stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family. If he still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to see if they can help. Or call in an attorney

to discuss with your dad the potential financial and legal consequences of a crash or injury. If all else fails, you may just have to take away his keys. Alternative Transportation Once your dad stops driving, he’s going to need other ways to get around, so help him create a list of names and phone numbers of family, friends and local transportation services that he can call on. To find out what transportation services are available in your dad’s area contact Rides in Sight (RidesInSight.org, 855607-4337), and the Eldercare Locator (800-677-1116), which will direct you to his area agency on aging for assistance. 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.
