On March 5, roof work continued at Mauney Memorial Library. A crew worked on the ground preparing the roofing for installation, as roofers replaced sections of the roof above the Harris Children’s Wing. This is an ongoing project by City of Kings Mountain, replacing the old clay tiles with modern metal roofing that can last many decades with proper maintenance.

North Carolina House passes resolution supporting Ukraine On Thursday, March 10, the North Carolina House approved HR 981, a resolution expressing support for Ukraine as its people fight for freedom, and urging Congress to increase domestic energy production.

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore said, “We stand firmly with the Ukrainian people as they fight to defend their country from Russian aggression.

As millions of refugees flee and hundreds of civilians have been slaughtered, it is crucial that civilized nations of the world stand

with them now.”

H e continued, “Furthermore, it’s time for our leaders TIM MOORE in Congress and in the White House to reverse course on unnecessarily limiting our production of energy.

We must increase our domestic energy production to strengthen our security here at home.”

Governor visits port as supply chain challenges continue NC ports increase capacity Governor Roy Cooper visited the Port of Wilmington and highlighted N o r t h GOV. COOPER Carolina’s strategic and long-term investments in the trade and infrastructure sectors.

The Governor toured the new South Gate Container Complex, the Port’s container berth and a NeoPan-

amax Crane.

“The increase in capacity at the Port of Wilmington brings North Carolina better paying jobs, helps ease supply chain problems, and helps reduce the cost of goods to every day working families,” said Governor Cooper.

“As today’s tour illustrates, North Carolina is actively working to help address nationwide shipping issues,” said State Transportation Secretary J. Eric Boyette. “Facilities like our ports, and the Carolina Connector intermodal terminal, show how important it is to invest in infrastructure that moves goods throughout North Carolina and beyond.”

On Friday, March 11, smoke rose adjacent to I-85 North, as The Keith Corporation prepares the land for the upcoming construction of Kings Mountain Corporate Center on Canterbury Road.

The brownish white smoke bellowed into the air, as remaining debris on the property was gathered into piles and set ablaze.

This work is part of the process for Keith Corporation to begin construction on a speculative industrial building of nearly 1.3 million square feet in Kings Mountain. It is the largest spec building in Cleveland County, North Carolina, and the southeast.

Kings Mountain Corporate Center is a 164acre, master-planned,

business park in Kings Mountain. The business park has extensive I-85 frontage with access to the interstate by two interchanges. And with Charlotte Douglas International Airport just twenty-six miles away via I-85, the location is ideal for many large companies.

“We appreciate City of Kings Mountain’s and Gaston County’s incentive grants, which will help draw potential tenants to this property,” said Justin Curis, Vice President, Industrial Development for The Keith Corporation. “Our intention for this property is for one company to occupy.

We anticipate completion at the end of 2022, with a new tenant operational during the first quarter of 2023.”

The smoke seen just before lunchtime on Friday, March 11, was Keith Corporation clearing land for their new office park.

Biscuitville doing a brisk business since opening

By Loretta Cozart Biscuitville held its Grand Opening on March 1, and traffic around the building has been busy since. A mini-traffic jam stretched .2 miles, or 1,056 feet, with cars at a stop from the restaurant all the way back to Los Tarascos Restaurant that makes the area difficult to navigate some mornings.

While the line appeared long, staff quickly delivered breakfasts to waiting customers. Online, customers commented that their entire wait took about 15 minutes.

■ OBITUARIES

WINSTON SALEM, NC – When one sits down to write an obituary, one’s first thought is to look at a typical write-up, and use that as an example. But this was no typical man.

Andrzej Bogdan Milewski was born on August 11, 1924 – the son Alfred, a decorated Polish army officer-turned-politician and Sabina, a dedicated, brave mother.

His childhood on the family farm in Bagrowo, Poland was idyllic, but war was never far. On February 10, 1940, Andrzej and his mother, sister, and brother were deported to Siberia. His father was already fighting on the front, and would be captured and imprisoned for several years. Through strong faith and luck, the family survived the brutal conditions of Stalin’s work camps. Released in March of 1942, he made his way to Kazakhstan and joined the newly formed Polish army (which would later become the British 8th Army, Polish 2nd Corps).

Following in the footsteps of his father, he joined the artillery regiment. Journeying from Siberia to Iran, Iraq, and Palestine, he ultimately fought in the Italian campaign at the Battle of Monte Cassino, and fought bravely until the last day of the war on May 8, 1945.

After the war, he moved to England and was educated at the Leicester School of Textiles – but not before he met Ewa Szymańska, the daughter of a Polish colonel, at a post-war party.

It’s fitting of Andrzej that when their eyes met across the room, the power went out, and Ewa felt a tap on her shoulder and a voice saying “pay attention to this one. He’s important.”

And he was. They married on February 1, 1950.

He went on to successfully manage textile operations in England, Ireland, and finally, North Carolina, where he became known as a community leader for his fairness and kindheartedness. You could not go to the Food Lion in Kings Mountain without taking at least an hour, because he was always stopped by people wanting to talk with him – former employees, neighbors, friends.

Andrzej’s biggest success – his pride and joy – was his family. He and Ewa raised eight children with truly unconditional love. He is survived by Maciej (Helen, Karen, Peter), Teresa (Rodney), Lech (Anna, Ola, Kristina, Baqir), Halina, Jolanta (Scott, Matthew, Diana, Kate, Cameron), and Ela. He was preceded in death by his son, Bogdan, foster-daughter, Robin, siblings Teresa (Edgar, Raymond) and Stanislaw (Anita).

There is a saying by the late Maya Angelou, who fittingly lived in Winston-Salem at the same time Andrzej did.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget

The Port of Wilmington has three Neo-Panamex cranes that accommodate the loading and unloading needs of some of the largest vessels on the East Coast.

With the completion of the South Gate Container Complex, container yard expansion and three Neo-Panamax cranes, annual potential shipping container capacity has increased from 600,000 twenty-foot equivalent units to 1.2 million twenty-foot equivalent units.

The Port of Wilmington currently handles both container cargo and general cargo.

The North Carolina State Ports Authority and the State of North Carolina have funded several capital improvement projects including berth renovation

and expansion, turning basin expansion, air draft clearance and a refrigerated container yard. These investments will help create long-term solutions to ongoing supply chain issues.

Under Governor Cooper, North Carolina is making investments in infrastructure across the state to move products more efficiently. In November 2021, the Carolina Connector (CCX) intermodal transportation facility opened in Edgecombe County.

The facility’s opening enabled the North Carolina Ports Authority to launch the Wilmington Midwest Express, which provides port customers with a daily direct rail connection to the Midwest via the CCX. The North Carolina Ports Authority generates over $60 million in annual revenue. According to a 2018 study, the North Carolina State Ports Authority supports 87,700 jobs, $687.2 million in tax revenue and $15.4 billion in economic output.

As The Days of Noah Christ and his disciples were leaving the Temple (Matt.

24:11) and the disciples Roger R. were ad- Woodard, ThD. miring its Senior Pastor Worship b e a u t y . Family Center Indeed, it was a magnificent edifice and should be listed among the wonders of the ancient world. Jesus responded, “there shall not be left here one stone upon another” (vs. 2). The disciples ask

him three questions. “When shall these things be? (Fulfilled A.D. 70). “What shall be the sign of your coming and the end of the world”?

His first response is a warning against strong deception (vs. 4,24) Of all the signs what made days of Noah (vs. 36-39) stand out as unique.

Gen 1:27: God made man in His image, made Eve as his help meet (2:22), placed them in the garden - serpent comes with “the lie” that caused his fall from grace in his beginning (Isa. 14:13/ Ezek. 28:6) Pride, you’ll be like God and you’ll have great wisdom (I Jn. 2:15).

The great war between the

woman’s seed and lucifer’s seed (Gen. 3:15) has raged ever since Satan paid attention. He knew there would be a Savior coming that would do him in; and he set out to stop it by corrupting the blood line (seed). Gen. 6:1-7, without explanation, Moses records “there were giants in the earth in those days; and also after”. This begs the question where did they come from since God did not create them. Answer, they were offspring of fallen angels Enoch 1:7 records 200 angels (watchers) descended upon Mt. Hermon, during the time of Jared (7th from Adam).

Their task was to watch over

mankind but not interfere.

However, they lusted after the daughters of men and took wives of all they chose (Gen. 6:2). This was a great wickedness which God would not forgive (vs.

5 & 3), because this was Satan’s way of blocking the Messiah from coming and corrupting the bloodline. In plain language, Satan was creating hybrids.

Giants, soulless irredeemable offspring. But, Noah and immediate family were not contaminated with serpent seed. “A just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God”(6:9).

Have you ever wondered

what was so evil as to require worldwide flood to destroy everything? Enoch 7:1-16 spells it out. I know Enoch is not part of our Bible, but I feel is useful for it’s historicity and Jude 14-15 quotes Enoch 1:9 almost verbatim.

Before you reject this out of hand, let’s do a quick scan of our Bible. Gen. 14:5-9 Abram wars with four tribes of giants. God promises Abraham and his descendants the land of Canaan. (Gen. 12:5-7). Satan heard that promise and once again tries to block the plan of God. When the Hebrews from Egypt arrive “giants were in their promised

land (Nu. 13:33) when they do dispossess the Canaan there were giants (i.e. Og of Bashan Josh. 12:4) Caleb had to displace giants (Josh.

14:12). David killed the giant who had four brothers, I could go on but space will not allow. I plan to continue this train of thought because we MUST know why it is important to us today, as in the days of Noah. I hope you can appreciate I have raced through this subject because of the stress of space. It deserves your sincerest and in depth examination.

Winners were announced this past weekend for the “I Am Woman” art exhibit and competition at Southern Arts Society (SASi) in Kings Mountain. “I Am Woman” is an annual exhibit for artwork that represents the feminine or female experience.

This is a judged show with first, second and third place prizes along with three merit awards. Though the exhibit and competition focus on the feminine, both men and women enter work for the show, allowing for a variety of viewpoints to be expressed. There were sixty-six entries in this year’s show by thirty-one artists from Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg Counties in North Carolina and York County in South Carolina.

Artists have created works in oil, acrylic, watercolor, photography, sculpture, textiles, and mixed media to interpret their view of “I Am Woman.” Many pieces in this year’s show reflect both the strength and the serenity that women exude over the course of their lives, in good times and bad. Women are shown as the mother figure – hardworking and resilient throughout all the trials and pain that life brings. And some pieces show that women are still girls who just want to have fun.

Judging this year’s show is Susan Carlisle Bell, former Professor of Art at Gardner Webb University. Awards were presented at a public reception on Saturday March 12, 2022. First Place was given to Sara Dame Setzer of Gaffney, SC for her oil painting “Dawn Reading at Kitchen Counter with Cat.” Ms. Bell offered comments for her first-place choice “This artist is a genius at composition and contrasts, organic to geometric, straight to curve, dark to light. There is a Matisse flavor to this more realistic painting.” Second Place went to Martha Manco of Tega Cay, SC for her oil painting “Thinking About It.” Ms. Bell said “The figure’s proportions and the projection of the left arm and knee shows a keen knowledge of anatomy. But it is the understanding of light and fluidity of the fabric that enlivens the figure. The brushstrokes are loose yet communicate mass of the figure and has a spontaneity that is refreshing.” Third Place was given to James L. Norman of Kings Mountain, NC for his oil painting “Silken Lady.” Ms. Bell commented on her selection “With a minimum of definition and a bravado of suggestion the artist has given us a charming image. It is impressive that the same surface did not limit his expressive use of color and brushstroke.”

Three persons were selected for Merit Awards.

Those were given to Lynne Parker of Kings Mountain, NC for her two photo’s “Dressed in Raven Cloth” and “No Pressure at Midnight”; to Kenny Walker of Lawndale, NC for his two drawings “Proverbs 31 Woman” pencil (graphite) and “Seventeen” pastel pencil; and to Barbara O’Neal Davis of York, SC for her encaustic painting “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.

Ms. Bell selected both entries by Lynne Parker and Kenny Walker for merit saying, “these two artists have entered works of equal merit which speaks to their mastery in their medium.” In awarding Ms. O’Neal Davis a Merit Award, Ms. Bell comments “Color, expression, and body language all communicate girls having fun together. En-

First Place was awarded to Sara Dame Setzer of Gaffney, SC for her oil painting “Dawn Reading at Kitchen Counter with Cat.” Photos provided

Second Place was awarded to Martha Manco of Tega Cay, SC for her oil painting “Thinking About It.”

Third Place was awarded to James L. Norman of Kings Mountain, NC for his oil painting “Silken Lady.” caustic-pigment suspended in hot wax is a tricky medium to work with because of its flow when hot and quick cooling.

She has done a good job in giving the figures individual personality and dimension.”

To see photos of the artwork please visit SASi’s website http://southernartssociety.org/. Artwork in the exhibit is available for sale.

The “I AM WOMAN” exhibit will be in the galleries of Southern Arts Society through April 22, for in person viewing.

In addition to gallery exhibits, Southern Arts Society represents over seventy-five regional artists offering fine arts and fine crafts in their Gift Shop where you will find a large array of jewelry, textiles, paintings, pottery,

glass, metal, and paper for home décor and gifts.

Southern Arts Society (SASi) Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Ave. at the intersection of Piedmont and Battleground Avenues in the historic Southern Railway Depot. SASi offers a gift shop, ongoing art exhibitions and competitions, programs, and classes in a variety of media for artists of all levels. Gallery Hours: Tues through Sat, 10 am to 3 pm, and by Appointment.

Admission is Free. The public is asked to wear a mask when visiting. For more information visit their website at http://southernartssociety. org/ or call 704.739.5585.

Kings Mountain High’s women’s softball team was able to get its doubleheader with East Rutherford in Friday but the visitors took both contests, 4-2 and 7-1.

It was the Lady Mountaineers’ only action of the week as all other contests were postponed because of rain. The non-conference contest was originally scheduled for last Tuesday as a single game, but due to both teams having postponements all week they agreed on two five-inning contests.

Kings Mountain stayed close throughout in the opening game. The Lady Cavaliers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first as Mollie Burgess led off with a single to left and later scored on an error.

Kings Mountain’s Austyn Dixon slammed a home run high over the centerfield fence for a 1-1 tie in

It’s time to apply for scholarships at Gaston College College is a major financial and time commitment that can be a challenge for any student to take on. The Gaston College Foundation hopes to ease those burdens for some students with the help of scholarships.

Applications for the 2022-2023 academic year are now being accepted through the Gaston College scholarship portal. All

prospective and current Gaston College students are eligible and encouraged to apply now through April 30, for priority consideration.

Whether this is your first time enrolling in college or you are going back to school, the Gaston College Foundation wants to help students no matter where they are on their educational journey. Thanks to generous donors, nearly $400,000 will be awarded through more than one hundred scholarship funds. The hope is that these scholarships

will help ease the financial strain of paying for college and allow students to put their time and energy into their studies.

Applying for scholarships is easy! Gaston College uses a system that automatically matches you to any scholarship opportunity you qualify for, therefore, for the majority of scholarships you need to submit only one general application.

Be sure to fill it out your application completely and write a letter/statement for the “Why I Need a Scholarship” portion as

this is a significant piece of the scoring for scholarships. To get started on your scholarship application or for more details, visit gaston.edu/scholarships.

For more information about financial aid or applying for scholarships you can contact the Financial Aid office at financialaid@ gaston.edu or 704.922.6227.

Scout Troop 92 travels to Tekoa Foothills Twenty Scouts and six leaders of Troop 92 travelled to Tekoa Foothills, in Casar, for some service project work, troop elections, and recreation.

Several Scouts commented positively on the recent outing. Joey S. said, “I think our dinners were above average for this trip. This trip is one of my favorites to go on because we cooked great food compared to our other trips. We also got to put in a couple of service hours this weekend doing the projects we were assigned. Overall, this has got to be one of my favorite trips!”

"I had a blast. I loved hanging out with the young Scouts. They were hard working and proactive. We got a lot done for the people who own the cabin, like moving rocks to fill in potholes, we built planter boxes and we cleared out a bedroom for renovations. I love our new electee for Senior Patrol leader. I hope we go again next year," William Stockham said.

Boy Scout Troop 92 meets locally on Monday nights. If you would like more information, please visit us online at https://www.troopwebhost. org/Troop92KingsMountain?

Scouts Caleb M, Ethan C, Zane O, Justin, and Tyler move large stone gravel to improve a road access as part of their service project. (Photos provided)

Scouts playing Gaga ball after putting in some service hours. Gaga is a fast paced, high-energy sport played in an octagonal pit. The more players the better! Dubbed a kinder gentler version of dodge ball, the game is played with a soft foam ball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout.

guideline to gauge water needs.

• Size correctly. Plants should be sized to the container.

Consider dwarf varieties of certain plants if your containers are small.

• Choose the right soil. Fill containers with a commercial potting soil rather than soil from the garden. Garden soil can dry into a solid mass, while commercial mixtures have amendments like peat moss, vermiculite, compost, and other ingredients to help with soil texture and moisture retention.

• Mix it up. When planting containers of flowers and other greenery, Good Housekeeping says to include “a thriller, a spiller and a filler” as a good rule of thumb. The thriller is the focal point, the spiller a trailing plant, and a filler has smaller leaves or flowers to add bulk and color.

• Poke holes. Drainage holes are essential so that soil will not become waterlogged. Holes don’t need to be large, but should be enough of them so that excess water can drain out readily.

• Select the right container material. Container materials may be affected by gardeners’ budgets, personal taste and other factors. For those who live in hot climates, selecting a light-colored container can help prevent further soil heat absorption.

Container gardening is a healthy and enjoyable activity that can pay dividends in various ways.
