Imperial Lofts opening downtown this Spring Boom Supersonic brings 1,700 Triad jobs Boom Supersonic, the high-profile aviation company building modern supersonic airliners for commercial service, will build its manufacturing and final assembly facility in Greensboro, creating more than 1,750 jobs by 2030, Governor Roy Cooper announced today. The project will bring an investment of more than $500 million through 2030 at a site located at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Guilford County. “It is both poetic and logical that Boom Supersonic would choose the state that’s first in flight for its first manufacturing

Governor vetoes bill to delay primary to June On Friday, January 28, Governor Cooper vetoed House Bill 605, an act to “Set the date for the 2022 date for the 2022 primary as June 7, 2022; to allow the State Board of Elections to issue temporary rules for GOV. COOPER conducting the 2022 primaries and elections…” According to the State Board of Elections, districts must be finalized by the week of February 14, just 12 days after the Supreme Court hears TIM MOORE oral arguments in redistricting cases. This would give the courts a few days to make their decision before that deadline and would give the General Assembly little time to draw new maps if required. Governor Cooper made the following statement on HB 605, “This bill is an additional attempt by Republican legislators to control the election timeline and un-

dermine the voting process. The constitutionality of congressional and legislative districts is now in the hands of the North Carolina Supreme Court and the Court should have the opportunity to decide how much time is needed to ensure that our elections are constitutional.” North Carolina Speaker of the House Tim Moore said, “House Bill 605 is a reasonable measure taken by the legislature to ensure a thorough and constitutional process. Unfortunately, Governor Cooper’s veto undermines that process in the name of politics.” He continued, “Furthermore, during his time as Senate Redistricting Chair, Cooper presided over some of the most tortured and gerrymandered maps in state history. Now, he wants to sow chaos and confusion in the hopes that the Supreme Court will usurp the constitutional duty of the General Assembly to the benefit of his Democrat allies.”

In 2021, Hospice Cleveland County provided compassionate end-of-life care to nearly 900 patients and their family members. “Hospice Cleveland County is very grateful to the Catawba Tribe and Two Kings Casino for their support,” said Myra McGinnis, president of Hospice Cleveland County. “This generous gift will enable us to provide excellent care for patients and their family members.” Cleveland County Partnership for Children provides pre-k, Early Head Start and inclusive Smart

Start programs that help children and families access high-quality and affordable childcare, health care and family support services. The goal of CCPFC is to partner with families, businesses, and the community to ensure children are healthy and ready for school. The organization has been leading early childhood education in Cleveland County since 1993. “The Cleveland County Partnership for Children is so thankful to have the support of the Catawba Two Kings Casino,” said Executive Director Shannon White. “The donation will enable us to continue providing early childhood education and support for Cleveland County’s youngest learners and their families. Your contribution makes an impact, and we are extremely grateful that you decided to Come Grow With Us!” The casino launched the Share Change program several weeks after its July opening and anticipates that the program will grow as the casino grows. The first $10,000 donation benefitted the Cleveland County Fund for Children and Adults with Disabilities, and new charitable recipients will be designated every three months.

BOOM From Page 1A 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) at twice the speed of today’s fastest passenger jets. Overture has garnered significant commercial interest, including orders and options from United Airlines and Japan Airlines as well as contracts with the U.S. Air Force for government applications . Named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2021, the Boom XB-1 demonstrator aircraft rolled out in 2020, and its carbon neutral flight test program is underway. The company’s manufacturing plant in North Carolina, called the Overture Superfactory at Piedmont Triad International Airport, will house the company’s first final assembly line, test facility, and customer delivery center. “Selecting the site for Overture manufacturing is a significant step forward in bringing sustainable supersonic air travel to passengers and airlines,” said Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic. “With some of the country’s best and brightest aviation talent, key suppliers, and the state of North Carolina’s continued support, Boom is confident that Greensboro will emerge as the world’s supersonic manufacturing hub.” The North Carolina Department of Commerce coordinated the state’s recruitment of Boom, which also involved state, regional, and local organizations. “Ever since the Wright Brothers but even more so today, the aviation and aerospace sector drives a significant part of the North Carolina economy,” said Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders. “We’ve reached this achievement by developing specialized workforce development programs for

this industry, and as our state strategic plan for economic development makes clear, we’ll keep working to make North Carolina First in Talent, and not just First in Flight.” The project from Boom Technology, Inc., operating as Boom Supersonic, will be facilitated, in part, by a High-Yield Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee earlier today, the first JDIG of this classification ever awarded. Boom’s project is estimated to grow the state’s economy by at least $32.3 billion over 20 years, the time period when the grant could be active. Using a formula that takes into account the new tax revenues generated by the 1,761 new jobs, and accounting for a company investment of $500 million, the JDIG agreement authorizes the potential reimbursement to the company of up to $87.2 million, paid over a time period of 20 years. Like all grants from the JDIG program, any state payments only occur following performance verification each year by the departments of Commerce and Revenue that the company has met its incremental job creation and investment targets. Boom’s JDIG agreement also calls for moving as much as $9.6 million into the state’s Industrial Development Fund – Utility Account. The Utility Account helps rural communities anywhere in the state finance necessary infrastructure upgrades to attract future business. The state approved additional support to help with final site preparations at the Piedmont Triad International Airport as part of the recently passed state budget (North Carolina House Bill 334). The legislature appropriated $106.7 million to the Department of Commerce to be used for site and road improvements

and the construction of one or more aircraft hangars. Salaries for the new jobs will vary by position, but taken together will average $68,792, increasing the regional payroll by more than $120 million every year. The Guilford County average annual wage stands currently at $53,994. “Boom Supersonic’s decision to build its new campus in North Carolina proves once again that we are a top state for job creators and have a deep pool of talented workers,” Senator Phil Berger, President Pro Tempore of the North Carolina Senate, said. “Over the past decade we’ve turned North Carolina into a jobs-friendly state with low taxes, reasonable regulations, and a world-class education system. Today’s announcement is a result of that transformation.” “We’re excited to see even more new jobs and investment come to North Carolina thanks to the thriving economic environment in our state,” said North Carolina Speaker of the House Tim Moore. “Boom Supersonic will write the next chapter of North Carolina’s great aviation story, and they’ll do it right here in the Piedmont Triad region.” Partnering with the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of N.C. on this project were the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, Duke Energy, the Piedmont Triad Partnership, Guilford County, Forsyth County, the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority, the City of Greensboro, the City of High Point, the City of Winston-Salem, the Carolina Core, the Guilford County Economic Development Alliance, and the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce.

Small Wonders Art Exhibit opens Feb. 1 “Small Wonders” Art Exhibit and Competition Exhibit run dates are February 1-25, 2022. The NEW Reception date will be Saturday February 5 from 6-8 pm. Southern Arts Society proudly presents Small Wonders, a new art competition and exhibit open to all artists in the region. This is a judged art show with cash prizes ranging from $50 to a $250 first prize. Regional Artists are invited to show small scale works in a variety of media showing the difficulty and skill to create works of smaller size. (Image size limited to 5”x7” or smaller.) Judge for the show will be Seymour Simmons III, a Professor of Fine Arts emeritus from Winthrop University, Rock Hill, SC, where he taught art education and studio art, primarily drawing. Prior to moving to South Carolina, he taught at Massachusetts College of Art and did research in arts education at Harvard Project Zero. He holds a B.F.A in printmaking from Colorado State University, as well as M. Ed. and Ed.D. degrees from Harvard. As an artist, he works primarily from the figure and landscapes in drawing and watercolor. His research focuses on the theory and practice of drawing instruction from ancient times to the present. His most recent publication on that topic is: The Value of Drawing Instruction in the Visual Arts and Across Curricula: Historical and Philosophical Arguments for Drawing in the Visual Age (Routledge, 2021). Early in his career, he co-authored with Marc S. A. Winer: Drawing: The Creative Process, (Simon and Schuster, 1977). 2022 CALENDARS SASi still has SASi 2022 Calendars for sale. Calendars are $30.

Think about His Love We are a month into 2022, and the shroud of COVID and apa t h y seem to Dr. Jonathan M. remain. Bundon Worship Pastor H o w ever, we First Baptist Church have a choice. You and I have an option to live victorious lives or defeated lives. We have an opportunity to be renewed through

Christ or attempt life in our strength. We, my friends, you and I can be restored mind, body, and soul. February, often dubbed love month, is an excellent time to reflect on God’s love for us and faithfulness to us in the past, look at what God is doing around us now, and trust God for the future. Today, let us look back. God encouraged Moses and promised He would be with him, and said, “Be strong and

courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” We find this promise throughout the Bible. The promises of the past are true today. Right now, take five minutes and write down instances and situations in your history where God helped you overcome. Write out specific times God led you through, strengthened, and encouraged you. It may surprise you.

Now take some time to pray and thank God for his protection and provision. A famous chorus may help as you reflect on God’s love for us. Think about His love. Think about His goodness. Think about His grace that’s brought us through. For as high as the heavens above, so great is the measure of our Father’s love. Great is the measure of our Father’s love. I am sure you have

had struggles these past two years. To be sure, I certainly have had my share. There are times when I have felt alone, and it seems that this world is so messed up; why try to live a victorious life? I am quickly reminded and encouraged of two points, 1. This world is ultimately not our home. We are promised the hope of heaven and eternal life. 2 Corinthians 4:18 reminds us, “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is un-

seen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2. God promised that even though we will face hardships, he will be with us always. In John 16:33, Jesus encourages us, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Today, take heart, my friends. Jesus loves you and will never leave you.

Home Modification Tips for ‘Aging-in-Place’ Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I would like to make some affordable changes to our home so we can remain living there for as long as possible. Can you recommend some good resources that can help us determine what all we need to consider? Getting Old Dear Getting, Many older adults, like you and your wife, want to stay living in their own home for as long as possible. But being able to do so will depend on how easy it is to maneuver your living space as you get older. Here are some helpful resources you can turn to, to get an idea of the different types of features and improvements that will make your house safer and more convenient as you grow older. Home Evaluation A good ﬁrst step in making your home more age-friendly is to do an assessment. Go through your house, roomby-room, looking for problem areas like potential tripping or slipping hazards, as well as areas that are hard to access and difﬁcult to maintain. To help with this, there are several organiza-

tions that have aging-in-place checklists that point out potential problems in each area of the home, along with modification and solutions. For example, Rebuild Together has a two-page “Safe at Home Checklist” that’s created in partnership with the Administration on Aging and the American Occupational Therapy Association. Go to AOTA.org and search for “Rebuilding Together Safe at Home Checklist.” You also need to get a copy of AARP’s “HomeFit Guide.” This excellent 36page guide has more than 100 aging-inplace tips and suggestions that can be made to an existing house or apartment or incorporated into designs for a new residence. It explains how a smartly designed or modified home can meet the varied and changing needs of its older residents. It also features easy-to-do, low-cost and no-cost fixes that lessen the risk of trip hazards and increase the safety of highuse areas like the bathroom, kitchen and stairway. In addition, they also offer videos and a

HomeFit AR app (available for iPhone and iPad) that can scan a room and suggest improvements to help turn your house into a “lifelong home,” free from safety and mobility risks. Visit AARP.org/HomeFit to order or download a free copy of this guide, or to watch their videos. In-Home Assessments If you want some personalized help, you can get a professional in-home assessment with an occupational therapist. An occupational therapist, or OT, can evaluate the challenges and shortcomings of your home for aging in place, recommend design and modiﬁcation solutions, and introduce you to products and services to help you make improvements. To ﬁnd an OT in your area, check with your physician, health insurance provider or local hospital, or seek recommendations from family and friends. Many health insurance providers, including Medicare, will pay for a home assessment by an OT if prescribed by your doctor. However, they will not

cover the physical upgrades to the home. Another option is to contact a builder who’s a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). CAPS are home remodelers and design-build professionals that are knowledgeable about aging in place home modifications and can suggest ways to modify or remodel your home that will fit your needs and budget. CAPS are generally paid by the hour or receive a flat fee per visit or project. To find a CAPS in your area visit the National Association of Home Builders website at NAHB.org/capsdirectory where you can search by state and city. 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.

Mountaineers sweep Forestview, at Shelby tonight Kings Mountain swept Forestview in Big South 3A Conference basketball action Friday night at Forestview. The first place Kings Mountain girls broke out to a 38-15 halftime lead and rolled to a 62-40 victory, and then the Mountaineers rolled 84-60 to keep a strong hold on second place in the conference. Zeke Cannedy continued his assault on the record books with a 38-point

performance that helped keep the Mountaineers on a strong hold of second place behind conference unbeaten Crest. Cannedy had a double-double with 11 rebounds, and also provided five assists for other KM scorers. Maddox James and Curtis Simpson continued to be two of the best in the BSC at their positions. James contributed 24 points and nine rebounds and Simpson had nine points and nine re-

bounds. Nine girls got into the scoring act in their big win over the Lady Jaguars. Forestview stayed in the game during the first quarter, trailing by just 17-13. But KM took command with a 21-2 scoring advantage in the second period to build their big halftime lead. Junior Khalia King led the KM offense with 22 points. She also pulled down seven rebounds. KM’s leading scorer,

senior Saniya Wilson, was held to eight points but she dished out nine assists and grabbed 12 rebounds.

The KM ladies led 42-22 at halftime but the vis-

itors from Boiling Springs outscored them 17-9 in the third period and 18-11 in the final eight minutes to make it a close one.

Kings Mountain High’s varsity basketball teams swept North Gaston in Big South 3A Conference action last week in Dallas. The girls came out strong in the second half en route to a 49-32 win to keep them undefeated in the conference. The boys dominated from the get-go and rolled over the Wildcats 77-36. As has been the case in most games this year, the North Gaston defense couldn’t do a thing with KM senior Zeke Cannedy who stripped the nets for 31 points. Maddox James added 18. The North Gaston girls held the edge early, leading the Lady Mountaineers 10-8 after the first period before KM outscored them 12-8 in the second quarter to go up 20-18 at intermission. Led by senior standout Saniya Wilson, the Lady Mountaineers widened the gap to 35-23 going into the fourth period. Wilson finished with 20 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals and Khalia King also hit double digits with 14 points. All of the KM ladies had good all-around games.

As a result of a default in the obligations contained within the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust and the failure to carry out and perform the stipulation and agreements contained therein, the holder of the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust made demand to have the default cured, which was not met. Therefore, the undersigned Substitute Trustee will place for sale that parcel of land, including improvements thereon, situated, lying and being in the City of Kings Mountain, County of Cleveland, State of North Carolina, and being more particularly described in the heretofore referenced Deed of trust.

Kings Mountain High School Interact Club is selling YUDA bands to help an international student with expenses. Top seller, Kalin Brooks, pictured at the bottom right. (Photos provided)

KMHS Interact Club selling bands helping international student By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain High School Interact Club is tackling an international project by selling bracelets to help a student from Guatemala with her education expenses. Lucy’s father died last year of COVID, and the family is struggling financially. Her story touched the hearts of the Interact members and they have worked hard selling YUDA bands

to their friends and family. These bracelets were hand made in developing countries and their sale also benefits the artisans who produce them. Club members are proud to be able to send the proceeds to help Lucy with her education. The club’s top seller was Kalin Brooks. Kings Mountain High School Interact Club is primarily a leadership and service -oriented club. It is an offshoot of the Kings

Mountain Rotary Club. The KMHS faculty club sponsor is Margot Plonk. The club volunteers at many City-sponsored events and is involved with several annual projects such as the Rotary Spaghetti Supper, Rotary Thanksgiving meal at the Patrick Senior Center, as well as many other community events like the Jingle Bell Run.

DAR and America250 announce historic partnership to commemorate the nation’s birthday America250, the nationwide commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026 led by the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, has signed a National Partnership agreement with the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The Semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary of the United States spans from 2020 to 2027. The agreement outlines initiatives developed by the DAR to honor Revolutionary War patriots, engage youth through contests and educational programming, and support efforts to better tell the story of underrepresented and diverse patriots who helped to win the American War of Independence. The largest patriotic women’s service organization in the nation, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution has now become the first heritage society to formally partner with America250 and has been a leader in the national effort to coordinate the 250th commemoration. DAR Honorary President General Lynn Forney Young serves on the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission. “The Daughters of the American Revolution have committed their incredible

talent and resources to this effort since planning began for our 250th anniversary of independence,” said Daniel M. DiLella, Chairman, U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission. “This partnership is particularly meaningful given the longstanding commitment and dedication of Lynn Forney Young, a fellow Commissioner and Honorary President General of DAR who has championed both organizations’ missions to honor our history while inspiring the American spirit for generations to come.” “We are proud to partner with the Daughters of the American Revolution, its chapters and members in support of the largest 1776 commemoration in U.S. history,” America250 Foundation CEO & President Joe Daniels said. “DAR’s leadership and its members have been at the forefront of promoting historic preservation and education to honor the legacy of all patriots who fought for America’s inde-

pendence. They have been crucial partners since the earliest stages of planning for the 250th commemoration and this agreement now formally recognizes that long-standing relationship.” “DAR members around the world are actively engaged in their local communities honoring the men and women who achieved American Independence and inspiring the American spirit in others through meaningful activities and outreach to the public,” said Denise Doring VanBuren, DAR President General. “We are delighted to amplify those efforts through our official partnership with America250 and to support its initiatives to commemorate our Nation’s historic upcoming anniversary.” The DAR’s America 250! Committee has been planning, promoting, and sharing ideas related to the commemoration since 2017. Examples to date include: erection of America 250 Patriot Markers across the country to honor

those who supported the Revolutionary War; creation of the E Pluribus Unum Educational Initiative, focused on educational programming and research to better tell the story of underrepresented and diverse patriots who helped to win American Independence; and launch of a new Patriots of the American Revolution High School Essay Contest for 9-12th grade students focusing on individuals who figured in the events of the American Revolution. More information about the DAR’s many activities and promotions to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the nation may be found at www.dar.org/ America250. About America250: America250 is a multiyear effort to commemorate the semiquincentennial. The purpose of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, created by Congress, and the corresponding America250 Foundation, is to catalyze a more perfect union by designing and leading the most comprehensive and inclusive celebration in our country’s history. America250 represents a coalition of public and private partners all working to create initiatives and programs that honor our first 250 years and inspire Americans to imagine our next 250.

in-person testing sites used to collect personal and insurance information. How the scam works. Several websites appear after an online search for a COVID-19 testing site in your area, and a testing clinic affiliated with a local pharmacy, or a pop-up run by a local group is selected. In one version of this scam, you arrive at the testing site and are asked to complete a form with personal information, your driver’s license and medical insurance cards

are photographed. Then, a swab is done, and a promise is made that test results will arrive within a short time. Unfortunately, the test is a fake and the results never arrive. It was an excuse to get your information. In another version of this con, you complete an online appointment form with personal, insurance, and medical information. In some cases, a small fee is paid. But, on the day of the appointment, the pharmacy has no record of your

more resources for Canadians from BBB. • Watch out for lookalike websites. Scammers have become adept at creating websites that look just like websites belonging to well-known, trusted businesses. Before entering your personal information to an online form, make sure the website you are visiting is secure and there are no misspellings or unfamiliar names in the URL bar. • Be wary of unsolicited callers and messages. No legitimate company or health clinic will call, text, or email you without your permission. If you get an unsolicited message from someone, it is best not to give the caller or sender any personal details before confirming it is from a legitimate source. Read the fine print on any documentation you are asked to sign. Question where the personal information is being kept as well as if it is secure, what lab is processing the results, and read the agreement carefully before signing. If anything within the agreement does not seem right, leave, and find another testing facility.

reservation. Again, the phony form was a way of phishing for personal information. One victim reported to BBB Scam Tracker this experience at a phony testing site: “Not until I got home, did I realize I provided WAY too much personal information. They used a swab of saliva and said I would be notified by email within 24 hours. It has now been 2 weeks with no results, and they are still there doing covid tests.” How to avoid COVID19 testing scams • Understand the COVID-19 testing options in your area. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reminds consumers that no-cost COVID-19 tests are available to everyone in the U.S. at health centers and select pharmacies. If someone insists you pay for a test, especially if they claim it will cost you hundreds of dollars, it is a scam. • Only get tested at authorized testing sites or health centers. Visit your state, tribal, local, or territorial health department’s website to find an authorized testing site in your area. In Canada, get information about testing for your province and see

Cowpens celebrated anniversary Jan 15 Southern campaign played a significant role in American Revolution By Loretta Cozart Each year, the National Park Service commemorates various battles in the Eastern United States that led to our independence from Great Britain. On Jan. 15, Cowpens commemorated its role in the American Revolution. Historically, it was the only successful double envelopment in the American Revolution. Rangers were on-site to speak with visitors of this 241st anniversary of the battle and they posted on Facebook virtual events to educate those interested in Revolutionary War History in the Southern Campaign. In Kings Mountain, we remember the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7. Cowpens is just 40-minute ride south on 1-85 and well worth the ride. Both Kings Mountain and Cowpens are sister parks included in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution Parks Group, along with Ninety-Six National Historic Site, and Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail. Like Kings Mountain, Cowpens claims to be the turning point of the American Revolutionary War, as do other Revolutionary War battlefields. One distinction makes Kings Mountain unique among

them. On Nov. 10, 1822, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to Col. John Campbell, Esq. lauding Col. William Campbell’s conduct during the Battle of Kings Mountain. This letter was 41-years after the American Revolution had ended, giving Jefferson time to reflect upon the battle’s significance. He wrote, “I remember well the deep and grateful impression made on the minds of everyone by that memorable victory. It was the joyful annunciation of that turn of the tide of success which terminated the Revolutionary War, with the seal of our independence.” It is hard to argue with the third president of the United States and the man who penned the Declaration of Independence. Bragging rights aside, we should all support events commemorate the Southern Campaign, as many people do not know its significance in American history. History from your own backyard is worth learning. Significant battles within a day’s drive of Kings Mountain include: • Savannah: On 29 December 1778, the British occupied the most important city in Georgia. • Charleston: From 2 April to 12 May 1780, British Army and Navy besieged Charleston forcing it to surrender. • Buford’s Defeat: On 29 May 1780, Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton’s British Legion killed 153

Cowpens Battlefield in late Fall and early Winter. Photo NPS Virginia Continental soldiers about nine miles east of present-day Lancaster, SC. • Ramsour’s Mill: On 20 June 1780, militiamen from the Charlotte region defeated Loyalist militiamen in present-day Lincolnton, NC. • Huck’s Defeat: On 12 July 1780, South Carolina militiamen from present-day York County defeated Major Christian Huck cavalrymen at present-day Brattonsville. • Hanging Rock: On 6 August 1780, Colonel Thomas Sumter with many

Mecklenburg militia under Colonel Robert Irwin defeated a major British outpost south of present-day Heath Springs in Lancaster County. • Camden (aka Gates’ Defeat): on 16 August 1780, Lord Cornwallis defeated a large American Army. • Charlotte: On 26 September 1780, Lord Cornwallis’s army encountered by Colonel William R. Davie’s mounted soldiers at the courthouse. • Kings Mountain: On 7 October 1780, Overmountain Men and many North

Carolinians and South Carolinians defeated a force of about 1,100 Loyalists. • Cowpens: On 17 January 1781, Brigadier General Daniel Morgan defeated British Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton and capture about seven hundred British soldiers. • Guilford Courthouse: On 15 March 1781, Major General Nathanael Greene’s American army greatly weakened Lord Cornwallis ‘s army in a battle Cornwallis had to win. Yorktown fell in October 1781, just one year and twelve days after the Battle

of Kings Mountain. South Carolina alone had more than two hundred battles in its colony during the American Revolution. North Carolina had many significant battles, also. According to the National Park Service, “Daring militia leaders played a crucial role in the War for Independence, but they were part of a much larger and oft-neglected drama-a bloody civil war often pitting neighbor against neighbor -- evident in the South, especially in the Carolina backcountry.”

Estate of long-time supporter donates $100,000 to WGSE $100,000 – the largest donation in WSGE’s 41-year history – follows nearly $70,000 in support over the years. Cathis Hall, WSGE’s Station Manager since 2006, is extremely honored and grateful for McBurney’s generosity. “Throughout my years of knowing Mr. McBurney, I found him to be a warm and giving person who truly desired to see the station prosper,” she said. “He never wanted on-air recognition— he was a man who gave from his heart. With the financial blessings he has bestowed on us, I believe he was WSGE’s angel.” When presenting the do-

nation to WSGE on October 30, John and Tracy Stiff, close friends of McBurney and executors of his estate, said, “Bob loved the station so much, and he was a big fan of [WSGE deejays] Kyle Beam, Johnny B., and Junior Norfleet for years. He was a very generous man who left most of his estate to charity.” “I am grateful for the legacy of giving by Mr. McBurney to the Gaston College Foundation,” said Luke Upchurch, the Foundation’s Executive Director. “His generosity and dedication to WSGE through his estate gift, along with the contributions from WSGE’s community of supporters, will ensure the financial stability of the station for years to come.”
