KM Police Chief Lisa Proctor retires June 30 By Loretta Cozart

Kings Mountain Police Chief Lisa Proctor will retire after 30 years and 3 months of service to the city at the end of June. In that time, she has served under six police chiefs, including her husband, Melvin. She has risen through the ranks from patrol officer to chief, serving in various roles in between, as a D.A.R.E. officer, patrol sergeant, and investigation of narcotics, ABC, and child abuse cases.

LISA PROCTOR KM Police Chief

Throughout her career, she has leaned on her faith to get her through tough cases and interviews and will continue to serve the Lord after her retirement. In late May, husband Melvin suffered a heart attack. After surgery and prayer, Melvin is doing much better. “While his heart attack didn’t have anything to do with my decision, I can’t stop thinking that it just confirmed that we had made the right decision.” Chief Proctor attended Basic Law Enforcement

Training at Isothermal Community College and graduated in October 1992 with the top score on the state exam. She took a part-time job right out of school at Shelby Police Department. “I even graduated wearing a Shelby Police Department uniform,” she recalls. While there, she heard of an opening at Kings Mountain Police Department and was interviewed and hired by Warren Goforth on March 30, 1992. Her first job was a patrol officer, and she soon

had an opportunity to go to D.A.R.E. school, where she graduated as a top team member. She recalls that a Sergeants job came open after her training, but just before school started back. And even though she was selected as the top candidate, she felt an obligation to the city to fill the D.A.R.E. role because she did not want to waste the city’s money or let the school children down. She turned down two sergeant promotions to fulfill her D.A.R.E.

responsibilities. A narcotics position opened and she took sergeants exam, and was selected. She took the job and eventually worked in an investigative role in narcotics, ABC, and child abuse cases for 18-years. “I found working the child abuse cases to be the most rewarding. These cases meant so much to me because it has a permanent impact on the victim’s life to help them bring closure,” Chief Proctor said. See PROCTOR, Page 4A

The celebration included performances and music participants from the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, performances by Jett Edwards, and a presentation by the Mauney Memorial Library. “Now that that we have laid a foundation for Juneteenth, moving forward I hope we will be able to build on it and making this event a city observance.

Storms, winds brought down trees Friday By Loretta Cozart

Storms swept through Kings Mountain on Friday, June 17, bringing gusty winds and spotty rain across the city. Due to those gusty

winds, several trees fell. One caused a power outage and internet loss for customers in that section of the city. Another tree fell on a home and causing damage. At approximately 5:30 p.m., the huge Oak tree at Matt and Brandi Maples home at 809 E. Kings Street fell, crashing power lines to the ground and breaking two poles in the process, resulting

in an entire electrical circuit for the city being down. The entire roadway was blocked, along with the sidewalks on both sides of King Street. Drivers traveling in that section had no option but to turn back and find a different route. The Oak tree came up by the roots, leaving a huge hole in the Maples’ See STORM, Page 4A

By Loretta Cozart Amy Allen will be retiring as principal of North Elementary School and will take on a new challenge as Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland County. “I have had a wonderful career in Cleveland County Schools and was honored to serve as prin-

cipal at North. Leaving is bittersweet, I am excited about the opportunity to try something new while still serving the county I love so much. But I'm sad to leave the great staff and students,” she said. “Habitat for Humanity's mission statement is ‘Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together

to build homes, communities, and hope.’ Habitat believes everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live. I look forward to serving alongside the staff and volunteers at Habitat for Humanity.” Allen retires on June 30, with over 31 years of experience in education. The last six have been as principal of North Elementary School.

Owners and City of KM at odds about buildings in downtown By Loretta Cozart Property owners in downtown, along with the City of Kings Mountain, are struggling with growth, both in progress and anticipated. Most of the downtown buildings are receiving some type of renovation, either for the owner’s own project or to prepare for new tenants. One thing is that is certain, change is coming. During recent city council meetings, building owners spoke about their desire to make changes to

their buildings, primarily by painting. However, the new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) adopted by the city only allows for painting a building in some cases if it is approved by the city’s advisory board, called the Downtown Design Advisory Review Committee (DDRAC). Currently three people serve on the committee: two from the Planning Department and one from the Kings Mountain Historical Museum. No building owners currently serve on the board.

The new UDO requires that a building owner who creates dwellings for tenants in their buildings must make provision for 1.5 parking spaces. This can be particularly challenging if the buildings have a zero lot-line, meaning the footprint of the building alone is all the property the building owner possesses. This is a significant new requirement, so the city decided to allow owners of buildings already undergoing renovation to choose by which guidelines they want See BUILDINGS, Page 5A

Clean up after your dogs, it’s the law The NC Pooper Scooper law requires that the person responsible for any dog must remove feces deposited by the dog from any private property unless the owner of the property has given permission allowing such use of the property. Removal of animal feces is not just a courtesy; it is an environmental necessity. When animal feces are not removed as required by law, rainwater carries it into the storm drains. The City's

Stormwater system is separate and does not treat water. This gravity-directed system merely carries Stormwater complete with litter, including animal feces, on its natural path to the creeks

and streams that feed into the Catawba River and the Broad River. Both rivers are a source of drinking water for our neighbors in North and South Carolina. The animal feces that you see going into that Stormwater drain will wind up in our creeks, streams, and Rivers. This pollution leads to the development of oxygen-robbing algae and other problem organism which can cause fish kills and human health threats.

Teen charged in Eastridge Mall shootings

By Loretta Cozart

Historians agree that the Battle of Kings Mountain in October 1780 turned the tide of the American Revolution and began the series of victories that led to the British surrender at Yorktown a year later. The rugged Patriot frontiersmen who defeated a larger, better-trained force of Loyalists at Kings Mountain secured for all of us the freedoms we enjoy today. We will soon begin our seventh season of “Liberty Mountain,” the Revolutionary War Drama, at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. It’s a compelling story of the settling of the Carolinas by pilgrims from the Old World who came to our land to build new lives, raise good families, and worship as they pleased. Our production is an action-filled 90 minutes that intimately portrays the lives of these hardy men, women, and children. It is an immersive experience of special effects, sights, and sounds. Audiences in our previous seasons have come away entertained and inspired. “Liberty Mountain” features a cast of more than 30 actors in a fast-moving, action-packed drama.

Older children should be supervised at all times. • Always wear eye protection. • Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when igniting the fuse. Back up to safe

distance immediately after igniting fireworks. • Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap. • After fireworks complete their burning, soak the spent device in a bucket of water several hours before discarding. • Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

Detectives from the Gastonia Police Department (GPD) have arrested and charged a 17-yearmale with multiple felony offenses related to a multi-victim shooting that occurred this afternoon at the Eastridge Mall. Due to the defendant’s age, North Carolina law prohibits the release of his name and photo. Investigators have now determined that all the victims were shot in the mall parking lot and that the victims fled inside to the food court area of the mall after being shot. Detectives have also now determined that a male victim, who was believed to have been the fourth person shot in this incident and who self-transported to a hospital in Charlotte, was not shot during the Eastridge Mall incident. This individual is now believed to have been shot in a neighboring jurisdiction. Investigators

are also now working to determine if there is any known relationship between the defendant and any of the victims. At approximately 12:10 p.m. on June 10, GPD officers, Fire and Rescue personnel, and numerous public safety agencies from the surrounding area responded to the Eastridge Mall located at 246 N. New Hope Road a shooting that just occurred. First responders located an adult male outside the mall near the food court suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers were told that there were additional victims inside the food court area of the mall. Officers entered the mall and

located an adult female and an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. These three victims were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A discarded handgun was located in the food court area of the mall. During the initial response, officers were told that a possible suspect was seen running from the mall and into a nearby wooded area. GPD officers entered the woods and located a 17-year-old male. A handgun was located in the woods near where the teenager was found. The teenager was taken into custody without incident and transported to GPD Headquarters for an interview. After the interview, the teen was charged with multiple felony offenses related to this multi-victim shooting at the Eastridge Mall. Detectives continue to work to determine a motive for these shootings.

PROCTOR From Page 1A “To this day, I remember a case in which I was interviewing a young woman. She was where she was because of things that happened to her during her childhood. I conducted a forensic interview and we talked, and I learned her story. In time, she went on to graduate Gardner-Webb University with honors and has an excellent job now. It blesses my heart. If you can make the difference in a person’s life, it is worth it.” Chief Proctor has also done undercover work from Kings Mountain all the way to Wadesboro and has done undercover work buying narcotics for Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, Shelby Police Department, Wadesboro Police and everywhere in between. “I love taking drug dealers to jail. I’ve been involved in Operation Sleigh Ride, Operation Street Sweeper, and Blue Thunder;

I can’t remember them all. We would arrest from 10 – 50 people at a time,” she said. “We didn’t have a big investigative team then, so I worked those cases. I handled the biggest drug bust in the city by our police department and I am proud of that because it impacted our community by taking those drug dealers to jail.” Chief Proctor is also proud of the support given to the police department by the community. “It has taken years to develop, and we get support from everyone in the community. What we have here is very special and it is important to continue those relationships,” said Chief Proctor. “When Chief Tessneer was promoted, he asked me to be his Assistant Chief. After his death, I applied for the Chief’s job and was selected. This job, from patrol to chief, is a calling. If you can stay in this job more than a year or two, it is a calling,” Chief Proctor said. “As Chief, I was asked about my feelings after an

officer’s being shot during a recent press conference. I promise you, to this day I cannot remember what I said. I didn’t think I should answer, but I heard a voice telling me, ‘Lisa, tell him how you feel,” and it just poured out of me. It wasn’t my message, it was God’s,” she said. That video went viral and made national news. She went on to say, “I’ve never been able to separate my job from my faith. It is humbling to know that the God who created the heavens and the Earth would help me in little things and in big things.” Once retired, Lisa Proctor will continue serving the Lord through her ministry at Penley’s Chapel Church in Kings Mountain, where she directs the music ministry. In addition, she has been invited to conduct Cowboy Church in October in Oklahoma and hopes to have more invitations, especially since she will have some free time on her hands.

She is a role model to everyone that with hard work and dedication, you can achieve anything you want in life.” City Manager Marilyn Sellers said, “Chief Proctor has served the City of Kings Mountain with integrity and professionalism for more than 30 years. She has touched many lives and I want to thank her for being a true example of what it is to be a public servant. Her leadership has not only made our city safer but better. Her impact will serve the city well for many years to come.” Assistant Chief Chris Moore was selected to take the role Interim Chief at Kings Mountain Police Department upon Chief Proctors retirement. The city has advertised the position and is taking applications currently.

COVID vaccines available for children ages 6 months and older Children ages 6 months and older can now receive a safe and effective COVID19 vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends all children who are eligible receive a COVID19 vaccine. The vaccine is available in North Carolina following the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) emergency use authorization and the CDC’s recommendation. “Many parents and families have been eagerly awaiting a vaccine to protect our youngest North Carolinians,” said NCDHHS Secretary Kody H. Kinsley. “These vaccines are the best way to protect

children from COVID-19 -- they are safe, effective and free.” Children ages 6 months to younger than 5 get a smaller vaccine dose than any other age group. This vaccine dose differs from the vaccine that was previously authorized for children ages 5 to 11. Booster shots are currently not authorized for children in this age group. As with all routine vaccinations for children, these vaccines were tested and reviewed by the FDA and the CDC and their independent scientific committees to ensure they are safe for children. Results from ongoing clinical tri-

als that began in March 2021 showed the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective to protect children ages 6 months to under 5 years from COVID-19. The Pfizer vaccine is currently authorized for three doses, while the Moderna will initially begin as two. Moderna is currently testing their third dose, with data expected this summer. There were no safety concerns or serious side effects noted in the clinical trials for either vaccine. The first wave of shipments were expected to arrive in North Carolina on June 20. NCDHHS recommends that parents

and guardians contact their child’s pediatrician, medical provider, or local health department for more details on when the vaccine may become available. Call ahead to confirm the vaccine will be available before visiting a health care provider. Children between the ages of 3 and 5 have the option of getting vaccinated at a pharmacy or grocery store in addition to a doctor’s office or local health center. Children under 3 years are not able to be vaccinated by a pharmacist. Parents and guardians of children who do not have an established medical provider can visit

MySpot.nc.gov to search for a nearby vaccine provider. Children may be able to get vaccinated for COVID19 and other routine shots they are due for at the same visit. This is also a good time for them to get a routine checkup. Children may experience temporary and minimal side effects. These side effects are like adults: a sore arm, headache and being tired or achy for a day or two. According to the CDC, children under 5 had the highest rate of hospitalizations compared to other pediatric groups. COVID-19 cases in children can result

in hospitalization, death, MIS-C (inflammation in different parts of the body) and long-term problems with symptoms that last for months. Vaccines will help reduce infections and transmission, bringing all North Carolinians closer to fewer family disruptions ahead of the summer months and school year. Everyone ages 6 months and older can receive a free COVID-19 vaccine, even if they don’t have health insurance and regardless of their immigration status. Parents and guardians with questions about COVID19 vaccines should talk with their child's physician.

BUILDINGS From Page 1A their project held accountable: the city’s old zoning ordinances or the new UDO. Owners must choose one or the other depending upon their needs. A bigger issue is deciding what paint colors are acceptable. Other towns have created a color palate from which to choose. The paint must be a high-quality paint, one designed for the purpose of painting brick or similar surfaces. Current requirements offer no paint color options to building owners, so the whatever chosen must go through a review process. Even more challenging

is that some owners have owned their buildings for decades, some through the draught of customers who followed the grocery stores out of downtown. Most of the customers who once shopped downtown have gone to shopping centers or malls in nearby towns as the options downtown dwindled. Now that new growth is coming, the owners are working to improve their buildings, only to find that new guidelines prevent them from doing so. Façades are also an issue. In a few cases, the materials in the façade have historic significance. On the front of two buildings is a material known as Perma-stone invented in 1929 and popular in the 1950s

and 1960s. Perma-Stone is such a common trade name that it has almost become generic for any of the cement-like materials applied to exterior walls and manipulated to look like stone. In Baltimore, Maryland, it is referred to as Formstone. At the height of its popularity in the 1950s, Formstone was a sign of wealth and stability in the working-class neighborhoods of Baltimore. But the longevity of Formstone was not living up to the company’s promises and the Formstone Co. went out of business in the late 1960s. No building in the downtown business district is considered an historic landmark. All of them have been altered too much, either due to fire or renovation. A few of the buildings are notable, by the façade materials or because of who once owned them. A survey by the state in the 1970s came to that conclusion and Mary Neisler confirmed when asked about it a decade ago. The argument that a building owner can do what they want with their own property is a compelling one. It seems logical. They own the building. But the downtown district is a community of sorts, one in which business owners rely on each other to draw customers to the area. And what is good for one owner might not be good for all of them. An example often used is that an owner would not want a neighboring building to be painted purple. While purple is a perfectly lovely color, it makes a point. One solution for this argument might be to create

a color palate of agreed colors that could be reviewed every five years, since color preferences change over time. This would be like what is done by Homeowner Associations to protect the neighborhood. And no two adjacent buildings could have the same color. It presents a cohesive look, and nobody is surprised. A bigger issue is who would make these decisions? DDRAC has no representation currently from a single building owner in downtown. It makes sense that the downtown business district should be considered like an HOA and that owners would decide what is best among themselves. Perhaps a local architect could provide guidance initially to keep the group on track as they get started. And would building owners be willing to serve on the review committee? These are all valid considerations. Another issue is if city employees should have

to make these decisions? This type of work is time consuming and difficult. Knowing what architectural features are important to save, or even if that is a consideration at all, must be decided. The reality is that Kings Mountain needs to decide how it wants to treat the downtown business district. Is it historic? Is it commercial? Do we want major chain stores downtown? Or does the community prefer smaller quaint businesses, restaurants, and entertainment? Once that is decided, then the path forward will be clearer To ignore the challenges of building owners and businesses results in frustration, which causes them to ignore the UDO altogether and do whatever they want. It has happened many times in downtown already and those who choose to work with the system are frustrated by it. Hundreds of thousands

of dollars are being spent in downtown to improve the infrastructure. Soon there will be beautiful sidewalks and plantings. But if no investors and businesses will locate here because the business climate is impossible to deal with, then what is the point? Taking a proactive stance on how to handle these issues helps solve the problem by starting conversations. Only then can discussion occur, and compromise be reached. And that is what is necessary to spur downtown renovation and redevelopment. These owners and merchants have skin in the game and have the right to create their own destiny, just as our founding fathers did in 1874. In the next few weeks, the Herald will highlight some challenges building owners are currently facing and what is being done to clear the path forward to accomplish their goals.

Called to Public Worship T h i s month we have considered God’s command for worship from everyone and everything in heaven and Rev. Robert earth. Thus Patrick, III Pastor far we have emphasized Boyce Memorial AARP private and family worship. It is clear in Scripture that these are important! But they aren’t ends in themselves, and don’t negate the priority of public worship among God’s people. The Greek word most

commonly translated “church” in our English translations of the New Testament literally means a “called out assembly,” or “congregation.” Throughout the week, private and family worship deepens our communion with God and tunes our hearts to praise God. On the first day of the week, called the Lord’s Day in the New Testament, God calls His people together for the purpose of corporate worship! Hebrews 10 warns believers against neglecting this corporate worship: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up

for those restricted to home. Many made use of online opportunities, some for shorter time, others longer. Unfortunately, there were those for whom leaving off with public gathering became comfortable, whether or not they were diligent in private and family worship. However comfortable or preferable any might find worshiping at home, or not worshiping at all, aside from providential hindrance there is no biblical argument to be made against the priority of public worship. Psalm 92, titled the a Song for the Sabbath, declares, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your

one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” The “Day” referenced is the day of Christ’s return. The promise of His return should heighten Christians’ longing for His presence, so that we delight to gather together for worship, even approaching God’s throne of grace in a spiritual sense as we offer praise. Covid resulted in necessary precautions for a long season, during which many were safer worshiping from home due to health issues. Churches responded by making worship accessible online

Wednesday, June 22, 2022 steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night...” God’s word not only commands faithful corporate worship, it warns against its neglect and celebrates its goodness! Do you find delight in serving the Lord with public worship on the day of Jesus’ resurrection? This is God’s will, on earth as it is in heaven! If your delight has grown dull, examine your practice: Have you left off with private worship or family worship? Have you neglected the meeting together of God’s people? The remedy will not be found in further absence and neglect, but in turning back to the will of God. “O Come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker!”

KMHM Cornwell House renovations continue The Kings Mountain Historical Museum officially started the George Washington Cornwell House Preservation Project on March 9, 2021, and are currently working on Phase I. The exterior siding restoration is being done by Foothills Historic Conservation, a general contracting / restoration company owned and operated by Chris and David Stone of Kings Mountain. The siding has been repaired, primed, and painted and a few finishing touches remain to complete the job. However, KMHM still needs the community’s support to continue work on the historic Cornwell House. Donations can be made by going the museum’s website click on Get Involved just below the logo to the right. Click on the link and you be taken to a new page where you can Make a Donation. The house’s original owners, George Washington Cornwell and his wife, Frances Lou (Lucinda) Smith, purchased the lot at 106 King Street in April 1876. They had just married and moved to the newly incorporated city of Kings Mountain, NC. George and

Lucinda built this house on their lot and raised seven children. George and his brother, William, who lived next door, were wagon makers. It is believed their shop was between their homes. Lucinda Cornwell, a devoted Baptist, was a founding member of Kings Mountain Baptist Church, located next to the museum, which started in 1890. The original building was a wooden structure located where the Mauney Memorial Library is today. Lucinda lived to see the current Kings Mountain Baptist building, built in 1919. In 1910, George and Lucinda sold part of their lot to their oldest son, Clarence. This house was placed on logs and rolled to the far side of the lot, so Clarence had space to build a new, fashionable house. When this move happened, the kitchen and back porch were detached from the house. The house was moved again in 2005 to its current location on the museum property, when Central United Methodist Church donated the structure to the Museum after purchasing the land.

KM daylilies in bloom By Loretta Cozart As you drive around Kings Mountain, keep an eye out for bright yellow daylilies in bloom right now. Unlike Yellow tiger

lilies, Kings Mountain daylilies have a large yellow bloom with ruffled edges. They were created by Van Mars Sellers of Iron Gate Gardens in Kings Mountain. Twenty years ago,

we do the right thing. because it’s the right thing to do.

Scott Neisler visited the nursery and bought six of his Kings Mountain daylilies to plant at First Presbyterian Church. “I planted them at the church, but they didn’t do well there. So, mother took them home to her yard and shared some with Lou Ballew. The daylilies thrived in her garden and soon she had so many she started sharing the bulbs around town,” he said. “Eventually she shared them with the garden clubs and even took some to festivals to give away.” The plants were wildly popular, and many folks took them home to plant in their own gardens. Most everyone knows that Mary Neisler had a particularly green thumb and a beautiful home gar-

den. As she aged, her ability to garden diminished and only a few of the daylilies remain in her garden today. But the ones that she gave away grace the yards of many in the community. We can all take a lesson from Mary to share the beautiful flowers we

enjoy and help beautify Kings Mountain. And what plant is more appropriate to share than a Kings Mountain daylily? These flowers are a special gift to the citizens of Kings Mountain that bloom each year around Father’s Day; a special gift

that the citizens of Kings Mountain will enjoy for years to come. And when you thin your daylilies, just remember to find someone to share a few of the bulbs from your garden with them. Mary would like that.

Scenes from Kings Mountain’s first Juneteenth Celebration at Patriots Park on Friday, June 17 at 6 p.m. Photos by Janie Mcvay

JUNETEENTH From Page 1A Event Coordinator Angela Padgett and she was very receptive. I hope that in the years to come this will be an annual event in our city, and event that will

be celebrated and talked about so that our young people will know the meaning behind Juneteenth and know the sacrifices that our ancestors had to pay so that they could have the opportunity that they have today,” she shared. “When Congress passed

the bill on June 16, 2021, making Juneteenth a federal holiday, I felt deeply in my spirit that this was such a great honor and that we needed to celebrate,” Mcvay added. “It should be a city event, and a big one. The emancipation of the last enslaved African

Americans is a big deal and I wanted to do something about it. So, I reached out and talked to people about it. The response was great. Juneteenth is an important memory in our lives, one that should be respected and celebrated on our community.”

W.A. Mauney House renovation nears completion By Loretta Cozart Chris and David Stone have poured years of blood and sweat into restoring the second W.A. Mauney House at 106 N. Battleground Avenue in Kings Mountain. Soon, their work will be complete. The home, a two-story vernacular Victorian, was built in 1877 by William Andrew Mauney, merchant, mill owner, and the city’s first mayor who also served in both the NC House and NC Senate. So far, the electrical has been completely updated and the house is air conditioned. Renovations took the house from a two- to a four-bathroom home and the kitchen now has a breakfast nook. Some windows are being restored by Chris Stone at the family business, Foothills Historic Conservation. “Things are moving along now, and I anticipate the house will be completed in four to six-weeks,” said David. “We have all the needed materials, and our crew is making substantial progress on the work. So, that timeframe is an accurate estimate.” Take note as you pass the historic W.A. Mauney House in the next few weeks, as the porch renovation is com-

pleted. Most remaining work inside is cosmetic, involving paint and installing cabinetry and fixtures. Wallpaper in several rooms will harken back to the late 1800s, when W.A. Mauney built this home for his family to enjoy. In ways, W.A. Mauney’s businesses and David Stone’s businesses are remarkably similar. Not because of the types of businesses they run, but because their family members are involved in many ways in their different endeavors. David Stone’s family is involved in historic preservation and real estate locally. They own Foothills Historic Conservation, an historic restoration and general contracting business, and StoneWright Realty, both at 508 Canterbury Road in Kings Mountain. They also own The Imperial Mercantile and Lofts at 138 W. Mountain Street and the F.R. Summers house on North Piedmont Avenue in town. Currently, David Stone also serves as the president of the Historic Shelby Foundation. What is meant by the description vernacular Victorian regarding the second W.A. Mauney home? R.W. Brunskill, author of Illustrated Handbook of Vernacular Architecture, says that in vernacular architecture,

Southern Living recently shared a story on hydrangeas. Why wouldn’t they? After all, Southerners love hydrangeas almost as much as they love sweet tea. And Hydrangeas are ideal to use throughout your garden in beds, privacy hedges, and even in large containers on your porch. A variety of Hydrangeas are available, but there are almost too many to mention. To make it easy, most gardeners breakdown the choices into three categories: Hydrangea macrophylla, Hydrangea quercifolia, and Hydrangea paniculata. Hydrangea macrophylla include ones commonly called bigleaf, mop head, lacecap, and French hydrangeas. The big-leafs are among the most common of the hydrangeas. The flower color of this group of hydrangeas can be changed to blue or pink depending upon the soil pH. Soil pH is responsible for changing the flower color in that it affects the aluminum uptake available for the plant. Acidic soils produce blue flowers (soil pH: 5 to 5.5), while alkaline soils produce pink flowers (soil pH: 6 or more). The only exceptions are white French and Mountain hydrangeas. They stay the same color no matter the

the variety. The growth rate of hydrangeas is quite fast. When selecting a site to plant hydrangeas, select a site that has well-drained soils. Hydrangeas do well in soils with plenty of organic matter. Hydrangeas do well in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. They should not be planted hot, dry locations. Many consider purchasing and planting hydrangeas when they see them blooming in the summer, but spring and fall is the best times to plant. Hydrangeas do well in receiving small amounts of fertilizer throughout the growing season. A complete fertilizer, such as 10-10-10 applied at a rate of 2 cups per 100 square feet in March, May, and July works well for hydrangeas. It is not necessary to remove the mulch when fertilizing, but water soon after application to help dissolve the fertilizer and send it into the soil.

pH of the soil. Hydrangea quercifolia are known as the oakleaf hydrangeas. Oakleaf hydrangeas provide a showy display of white flowers and have leaves that are similarly shaped to an oak leaf. Oakleaf hydrangeas not only provide an attractive flower display in the summer, but also provide in interest during the other seasons through fall foliage color, leaf texture, and attractive bark. Some oakleaf hydrangea varieties include: ‘Snow Queen’, ‘Snowflake’, and ‘Harmony’. Hydrangea paniculata is a group called PeeGee hydrangeas. PeeGee hydrangeas can be 10 to 25 foot tall. Instead of ball-shaped blooms, PeeGee hydrangeas have panicle-shaped blossoms. When it comes to growing hydrangeas, they are relatively easy to grow. Hydrangeas will grow four to twelve feet depending upon

Pauley’s Commanders Series on display at Joy Theatre during Liberty Mountain performances Artist Thomas Kelly Pauley announced that his Kings Mountain Commanders Series will be exhibited at the Joy Theater again this year for the 7th season of Liberty Mountain. This action filled, immersive play highlights life in the Carolina backcountry, showing events leading up to and includ-

ing the Patriot victory at the pivotal Battle of Kings Mountain. A battle that turned the tide of War for American Independence, and sent the British retreating to Charlotte, and on to Yorktown to their final defeat. The play and exhibit run from Friday, June 24 through Sunday, July 17.

Make today a good one Dr. Glenn Mollette Let’s all try to spend today and the rest of our lives more wisely. With rising inflation, we are all having to spend our hard-earned paychecks with care. Life is the same. We have less life today than yesterday. We don’t have as much life to spend today. We are all clueless how much life we actually have left to spend. Even if we have a lot of life left there is no guarantee of the quality of our remaining lives. Being able to walk, talk, breathe, see, hear and mentally function are all incredible gifts. Try to take care of what you have and even then, life changes beyond our control. We are all susceptible to injuries or diseases that can diminish the quality and end our lives.

Spend time with the people you care about. At least call them on the phone and visit Mollette as often Glenn Guest Editorial as you can. We can all think of people who have departed this life who we miss. The only time you have people for sure is today. Consider what you really need to make you happy. How much stuff does it take? We spend life accumulating and storing up. Eventually we have to figure out what to do with all our stuff. Do we give it away or leave it for someone else to worry about? Leaving our junk for

others to throw away or put in a yard sale may not be a very nice way to treat family or loved ones. Friends of mine from Ohio are now about 82 and recently sold their nice large house and moved into a smaller place. They’ve spent the last year unloading a lifetime of accumulated things. It’s not easy to do but what are you going to do with all that stuff you aren’t even using now? What are the simple things of life that you enjoy? There are aspects of life that we have to do and some that we enjoy doing. If we can squeeze in some of the enjoyable then life is a lot more fun. Often what we enjoy in life is not the exotic or chaotic but often simple routines we do all the time. Continue to invest in

yourself. Take a class, learn a new hobby, and make a new friend. We need the old friends and a few new friends. Old friends often keep us grounded while new friends bring new thoughts and ideas. Continue to cultivate your faith and the spiritual side of your life. Your life is more than flesh and blood. Being at peace with God and yourself can only make your life feel more meaningful and level. Life is flying by. Find time to drink a glass of lemonade and sit on the porch. Be sure to savor that morning cup of coffee. Take a walk or ride by your favorite lake or stream. Have a scoop of ice cream. You may or may not have less money but we all have one less day. Make today a good one!

TIPS

Grilling is one skill, and smoking is another. As the popularity of food smokers has increased, prices have come down. Novices can visit barbecue competitions and talk to professionals about their tips for smoking foods, or learn more by watching tutorials online. Smoked foods take a lot of time to cook, allowing hosts an opportunity to mingle with guests. 3. Keep things simple. Serve only a handful of items to cut down on the amount of preparation required. Two main proteins and maybe three side dishes is adequate. Chips or other pre-made snacks can fit the bill. Condensing options also reduces how much you have to manage. Be sure to have options for those with food allergies or intolerances when planning the menu. 4. Set up clusters of seating. Grouping sets of chairs at tables around the yard encourages guests to mingle. Also, it helps space out people for social distancing and avoids a bottleneck around the food. Make the most of barbecue season by embracing strategies to be successful hosts and hostesses.

From Page 2B marks the unofficial kickoff to the summer barbecue season. After Memorial Day weekend, the smell of barbecue often can be detected on a nightly basis in suburban neighborhoods. Follow these tips to make backyard barbecues even more successful this year. 1. Make food safety a priority. A successful barbecue is one in which everyone goes home sated and stuffed with delicious foods. However, ensuring people don’t fall ill also is vital. Keep in mind that the temperature outdoors impacts the rate of spoilage for raw and cooked foods. Always keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold (place items on ice or in coolers). The Food and Drug Administration, advises moving leftovers indoors promptly and discarding any items that have been sitting outside for longer than two hours at room temperature. Items should be moved indoors or discarded even more quickly in especially hot conditions. 2. Learn how to smoke.

DASH Diet ranks first in NIH study Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) has tied for first out of 39 diets for “Best Diets for Healthy Eating” and “Best Heart-Healthy Diets” in the 2021 Best Diets report from U.S. News & World Report. DASH, which builds nutrient-dense meals around whole grains, low-fat dairy products, vegetables, and fruits, and includes fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and healthy oils, also ranks sec-

ond for “Best Diet Overall.” Researchers developed DASH more than 20 years ago with support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the Na-

tional Institutes of Health. Multiple studies have found that the eating plan helps reduce blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, two risk factors for heart disease. Compared to a standard diet, adults who follow DASH without altering sodium intake can lower their blood pressure within weeks. Study participants who reduced their sodium intake from 3,450 mg to 2,300 mg or less per day

had even greater reductions in blood pressure. People with high blood pressure who adopted a low-sodium DASH diet, the equivalent of cutting sodium intake in half, saw the greatest improvements. In addition to the low-sodium version of DASH, another modification includes swapping 10% of daily carbohydrates for protein or unsaturated fats. For DASH eating, no foods

How to create a sunroom As fall inches closer to winter, it’s not uncommon for people to look to the coming cold with a degree of lament. Spring, summer and fall provide ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, but such chances are few and far between once the winter freeze settles in. Though winter might compel the masses to huddle up inside, there’s still a way to take in the great outdoors on cold winter days and nights. It might not prove an exact substitute for summer nights around the firepit, but a sunroom affords homeowners a chance to marvel at snowy winter landscapes without venturing out into the cold. Sometimes referred to as “all-season rooms,” sunrooms can make for a great retreat on quiet summer mornings or crisp autumn afternoons. Sunrooms can be treated as blank canvasses, which makes decorating them more fun. But a few tricks of the trade can help homeowners turn their blank canvasses into welcoming spaces to take in all that nature has to offer throughout the year. • Define the purpose. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens recommend homeowners decide how they want

to use the sunroom before they begin decorating it. When the weather gets too chilly to dine outside, will the sunroom serve as an alternative dining space in the same way patios and decks do during the warm weather? Or do homeowners want to turn their sunrooms into reading rooms? Though it’s possible to make sunrooms multipurpose spaces, it may be hard to create a relaxing vibe in rooms that are too crowded with furnishings or too busy. Defining how the space will be used also makes it easier when shopping for furnishings. • Define when the room will be used. In addition to defining how the room will be used, homeowners should give ample consideration to when the room will be used. A year-round sunroom will need to be heated, while a three-season sunroom likely won’t require heating. Cooling might be a concern on hot summer afternoons, but many homeowners will likely spend such days outside anyway, so cooling the room may be as simple as installing a ceiling fan and ensuring windows can be opened to let fresh air in. Homeowners who want a year-round sunroom should install insulated glass to keep the room even warmer when

the mercury dips. • Opt for bright colors. Bright colors can make sunrooms feel all the more inviting and make for a perfect match with all the natural light already in the room. The renovation experts at HGTV note that white walls and ceilings can maximize the warm illumination of the natural light that will be pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Better Homes & Gardens adds that brightly colored cushions, pillows and area rugs with similarly hued colors and patterns can add visual interest and texture to a sunroom. • Make use of a view. Homeowners needn’t direct too much of their focus on decor if their sunrooms come with a view. Art on the walls and other decorative items around the room are less important if a sunroom affords a view of the ocean or a lake or dense woods that attract local wildlife. In rooms with a view, arrange furniture so residents and guests can comfortably look outward and take in all the surround landscape has to offer. Sunrooms are a great place to take in nature no matter the weather.

How to Choose a Medicare Supplemental (Medigap) Policy Dear Savvy Senior, I’m planning to enroll in original Medicare in a few months and have been told I probably need to get a Medicare supplemental policy too. Can you offer any tips on selecting one? Almost 65

ly premiums for Plan G typically range between $100 and $300, depending on your age and the state you reside in. If that’s more than you’re willing to pay, there are also high-deductible plans that have lower premiums but impose higher out-of-pocket costs.

Dear Almost, If you’re enrolling in original Medicare, getting a supplemental policy (also known as Medigap insurance) too is a smart idea because it will help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and the Part A deductible. Here are some tips to help you choose an appropriate plan.

For more information on the different types of plans and coverage details, including Medigap options in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, go to Medicare.gov/publications and type in “choosing a medigap policy” in the Keyword box, and download their 2022 guide. Or call 1-800-MEDICARE and ask them to mail you a copy.

Medigap Plans In all but three states (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin), Medigap plans, which are sold by private health insurers, are available to new enrollees in eight different standardized plans. These plans are labeled with the letters A, B, D, G, K, L, M and N, with two more, C and F, that are only available to those eligible for Medicare before 2020.

How to Choose To pick a Medigap policy that works best for you, consider your health, family medical history and your budget. The differences among plans can be small and rather confusing.

Plan G is the most popular policy among new enrollees because it covers the most comprehensive range of beneﬁts. Month-

To help you choose, visit Medicare.gov/ medigap-supplemental-insurance-plans and type in your ZIP code. This will give you a list of the plans available in your area, their price ranges and the names, and contact information of companies that sell them. But to get speciﬁc pric-

ing information, you’ll need to contact the carriers directly or call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program. See ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2675 for contact information. Since all Medigap policies with the same letter must cover the exact same beneﬁts (it’s required by law), you should shop for the cheapest policy. You’ll get the best price if you sign up within six months after enrolling in Medicare Part B. During this open-enrollment period, an insurer cannot refuse to sell you a policy or charge you more because of your health. You also need to be aware of the pricing methods, which will affect your costs. Medigap policies are usually sold as either: “community-rated” where everyone in an area is charged the same premium regardless of age; “issue-age-rated” that is based on your age when you buy the policy, but will only increase due to inﬂation, not age; and “attained-age-rated,” that starts premiums low but increases as you age. Community-rate and issue-age-rated policies are the best options because they will save you money in the long run.

You can buy the plan directly from an insurance company, or you can work with a reputable insurance broker. Drug Coverage You also need to know that Medigap policies do not cover prescription drugs, so if you don’t have drug coverage, you’ll need to buy a separate Medicare Part D drug plan too. See Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare plans. Also note that Medigap plans do not cover vision, dental care, hearing aids or long-term care. Alternative Option Instead of getting original Medicare, plus a Medigap policy and a separate Part D drug plan, you could sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan (see medicare.gov/ plan-compare) that provides all-in-one coverage. These plans, which are sold by insurance companies, are generally available through HMOs and PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors.
