Liberty Mountain drama celebrates faith and freedom By Loretta Cozart Liberty Mountain: The Revolutionary Drama has returned to the Joy Performance Center at 202 S. Railroad Avenue for its seventh season. And for one actor, Liberty Mountain is more than a play. It is a family tradition. Jeremy Trent Homesley of Cherryville has been cast in roles of Liberty Mountain since the first season, “I was drawn to the play for a combination of reasons: the opportunity to do theater and my love of history. I was working in Kings Mountain at a fabric company and Director Caleb Sigmon, and his wife Katy, came in to purchase fabric for the costumes that first year.” He went on to say, “I had been thinking about auditioning and when Caleb and Katy See LIBERTY, Page 8A

City of Kings Mountain celebrated the 30-year career of Police Chief Lisa Proctor in a ceremony in her honor on Thursday, June 30 at Patrick Senior Center. Among the crowd were city officials, members of many law enforcement agencies, friends, colleagues, and family members who gathered to honor the first woman police chief in the City of Kings Mountain. Chief Proctor was also the first woman to become a police chief whose husband once held the same position with the city. Assistant Chief Chris Moore welcomed the crowd gathered. After the posting of the colors, City Chaplain/ Pastor John Howze lead the invocation before the meal. Various speakers spoke during the program, including Past Mayor Rick Murhprey, Pastor John Howze, and friends Alan Propst and Suzette Ross. As is customary at retirement, officers showered the chief with gifts that included a throw pillow and blanket, a fishing rod, and a glass plaque and shadowbox with memorabilia from Chief Proctor’s career. The chief then addressed the crowd sharing her faith and appreciation for the support of her officers throughout her career.

Herald covered the event with a special article acknowledging the rescue squad for saving lives and serving the people. Then Captain John Harris said, “Mayor Neisler attended the celebration, along with Fire Chief Frank Burns. We had three former Captains: Jonie Blanton, Johnnie Hutchins, and Preston Leonard. Many prior EMTs and their families joined us, too. “For the last 60 years, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad has served its citizens

when their need is the most. The dedication of its members is second to none. Kings Mountain is lucky to have this service,” said Mayor Neisler. According to Captain Harris, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad was the first in Cleveland County and the second in the State of North Carolina. When the squad went into service, it was known as the Cleveland County Life Saving and First Aid Crew, Inc. No matter the official See RESCUE, Page 4A

The City of Kings Mountain’s Natural Gas Division, as part of their Capital Improvement Plan, has installed 3.1 miles of 8” steel natural gas pipeline. This latest expansion will connect the city’s two natural gas gate stations, from York Rd. to Gage Rd. This expansion also extended underneath I-85 to what will become the city’s eleventh natural gas regulator station. Once the new Gage Rd. gate station goes online which is anticipated to be the Fall of 2022, the city will then have another way to supply natural gas into the existing system should something happen to the station or feed at either place. This new expansion greatly improves the city’s already safe and reliable natural gas distribution system. The final expansion stage of a complete natural gas loop around the city will take natural gas up Kings Mountain Blvd to Shelby Road, once this future expansion is completed the city will have completed their second utility to have a distribution

Catawba Nation celebrates first anniversary of Catawba Two Kings Casino An early photo of Kings Mountain Rescue Squad. Photo provided

RESCUE From Page 1A name, when citizens need help, they depend upon the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad. Their very first call was to a drowning. “During July 1958, we responded to a call of a drowning on Lake James in Nebo, near Morganton,” Harris said. “We had 14 members, a panel truck, and a boat. We logged 1,000-man hours, but the victim was never recovered.” “For most folks I’ve worked with here, this job is a labor of love. EMTs see things that pull hard at your heart strings. Most of us have two jobs; we don’t do this for the money. We do it because we love what we do and do our best to help the community,” said Harris. Crews worked 12-hour shifts and had two EMTs on every truck. “We often had a third EMT in-training on a ‘ride along’ to sharpen the skills they learned in class. Folks trained with us from all over. Most recently we’ve had trainees from Cleveland Community College and from Gaston, Rutherford, and Cherokee counties,” Harris said. “Originally, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad was located on Parker Street, with only two bays and cramped quarters. That location was their home for 50 years.” Harris said. EMTs spend a lot of time together during their 12-hour shifts. Harris said, “Former Captain Jonie Blanton described it best when he said, “We spent more time here than we did with our own families.” For 60 years, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad has helped every family in the Kings Mountain in one way or another. They have spent

countless hours serving the citizens and saving many, many lives. Sadly, they could not save everyone. Harris commented, “When we lose someone, those days are the hardest. But when we do save someone’s life, that is a good day. And when their family members thank us, it makes us love the job even more. It doesn’t get any better than that!” Cleveland County Board of Commissioners voted to centrally administer Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Cleveland County during this year’s February 24-25 work session. The county commissioners were presented with recommendations with respect to emergency medical services. The county’s third- party consultant and medical director both recommended moving to a centrally administered EMS. Based on those recommendations. the Board of Commissioners decided that centrally administering the County’s EMS providers would be the most effective and efficient way to serve the citizens while meeting the increasing demand for services. The decision resulted in the closing of Kings Mountain Rescue Squad. Shelby Rescue, and Upper Cleveland Rescue. The County had granted these nonprofits franchises to operate within the County. At their website, the county stated that these service enhancements, as well as closest unit dispatch, will lead to reductions in response time and a higher level of patient care. Donna Rose, Former Director of Operations for Kings Mountain Rescue Squad, pointed out in the March interview that ambulance times would not be any faster because all calls are dispatched through 911. And the change will not enhance patient care

either. “All staff receive the same training, no matter if they work for the Rescue Squad or Cleveland County EMS.” Employees once on the crew of Kings Mountain Rescue Squad were invited to apply for work with County EMS. Jonie Blanton, whose career with Kings Mountain Rescue Squad spanned 20-plus years, pointed out an interview with the Herald, “The rescue squad does far more than just provide ambulance service to the community. We also provide services for a variety of activities in Kings Mountain including concerts and festivals, the annual YMCA Jingle Bell Rockin’ Run, and Murphy’s Toy Run benefiting the Shriner’s Burn Center, Oxford Home for Children, King’s Mountain Police Department’s Toy Drive, and Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department.” “We provide classes in first aid and CPR. We have supported local COYID vaccination events and are here for the citizens whenever the need arises. Now we face closure of the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad.” he explained. “We hope the people of Kings Mountain will support us with the county commission, so we can continue providing excellent care for our citizens.” This decision by the county commission marks the end of an era for Kings Mountain Rescue Squad. The service citizens chose to take on for themselves, are slowly being gobbled up by county government. It remains to be seen if response times will be better. If response times are slower, more will need to be done by the county to improve those times. It is the responsibility, and the duty of citizens to hold their elected officials accountable to see that their interests are taken into consideration.

Since opening a year ago in a temporary facility, the Catawba Two Kings Casino has had a significant beneficial impact on Catawba Nation citizens, Kings Mountain and Cleveland County businesses and residents, and the State of North Carolina. The casino opened July 1, 2021, with 500 gaming machines and expanded in December to 1,000 gaming machines, including electronic table games. The casino now counts more than 100,000 members in its loyalty club. An on-property sportsbook is planned to open before football season, bringing sports wagering to the Charlotte region, and an easily accessed food truck will be added soon to expand dining choices. The Catawba Compact with the State of North Carolina also allows the possibility of adding video poker, which the casino is considering. “As we celebrate the first anniversary of the casino, we are grateful for the support we have received and proud of what we have been able to do for the Cleveland County and Kings Mountain community,” said Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority and a Catawba citizen. “The casino has provided jobs and is doing very well, and we are continuing to add amenities for our guests.” The casino is celebrating the anniversary beginning Friday and running through the weekend with live DJs, musical entertainment outside the casino and free-play promotions for patrons. There will be daily drawings to give away three new Jeeps, and the bands playing throughout the weekend include Next Level of Charlotte, which

and management structure is also being launched for local college students, and a managerial training program for Catawba citizens is being developed. The casino’s Share Change program, which enables patrons to donate the remaining change on slot vouchers, has now raised $27,000 for local organizations, including Cleveland County Partnership for Children, Hospice Cleveland County, Cleveland County Fund for Children and Adults with Disabilities, Children’s Home of Cleveland County, and the Mental Health Association of Cleveland County. The casino has also donated meals to local social services providers and first responders. Full Casino Resort Update: Infrastructure work is also well underway on two key projects needed for development of the permanent casino resort and thus being funded by the Catawba Nation: Doubling the size of the Dixon School Road Bridge over I-85 near the casino entrance and new sewer lines. “Plans for the full casino resort are being finalized and necessary agreements are undergoing a thorough review by the National Indian Gaming Commission,” Troxel said. “A timetable for construction is anticipated to be announced later this year. It’s a large and complex development project, and we are continuing to work through it.” The full casino resort project is expected to create thousands of construction jobs in the region and 2,600 permanent jobs at full buildout.

will play at 10 p.m. Friday. Amid overall increases in population, the first for Cleveland County in decades, and residential development with some 3,000 new units under development, the casino is contributing to overall business and tourism growth in Cleveland County, according to Jason Falls, the county’s business development director. About 60% of the casino’s approximately 260 employees are Cleveland County residents. According to hotel occupancy data, Cleveland County has seen an increase of 29% in overnight visitors since May 2021, and a 64% increase since March 2022. “Many of those visitors pair a trip to Catawba Two Kings Casino with visits to local restaurants, shops and recreational areas, and many businesses in Cleveland County have interacted with the casino as a vendor or have become a favorite restaurant for the employees and construction crews,” Falls said. “Our Small Business Services Center at Cleveland Community College has been busy working with business owners and entrepreneurs that want to position themselves to work with the casino as it grows.” The casino is also working with Cleveland Community College to develop training programs in security, culinary and gaming for Cleveland County residents and members of the Catawba Nation.

Career coaching now available for state employees on autism spectrum State employees with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a new ally GOV. ROY COOPER. in preparing for career advancement or change at their current job. The NC Career Advancement Resources for Employees on the Spectrum (NCCARES) pilot program is accepting requests from employees with ASD who need support in achieving workplace goals. Governor Roy Cooper announced the NCCARES initiative in April, when he also proclaimed World Autism Month in North Carolina. Crediting state employees with ASD for offering valuable skills and perspective at state government workplaces, Governor Cooper said the innovative program will help agencies “support and retain these employees and better serve our

state.” NCCARES reflects an expansion of support services available to state employees through Governor Cooper’s Executive Order 92: Employment First for North Carolinians with Disabilities, which recently marked its third anniversary in March. Interested employees may request support by completing an online request form for NCCARES, which is featured on the NC Office of State Human Resources website. State Talent Acquisition Manager Kristin Siemek will refer eligible employees to the coaching to be provided by UNC TEACCH Autism Center and the Autism Society of North Carolina. NCCARES career counselors will work in individualized sessions supporting efforts to hone management and interpersonal skills to be more effective with supervisors and colleagues, establish new and obtainable career goals, discover solutions to current employment

obstacles, develop an employment action plan, provide support to make any changes needed, create a more equitable culture, advocate for the resources needed to succeed, empower the individual to work with current management and future teams and facilitate change and understanding. NCCARES was developed in partnership with the NC Department of Health and Human Services, which will fund the year-long pilot program. The initiative grew from Linking North Carolina with Innovative Talent (LiNC-IT), a collaborative program of the NC Business Committee for Education (NCBCE). LiNC-IT provides internships for early career individuals with ASD and helps employers develop neurodiversity programs.

MountainTrue and local energy advocates urge the public to support a strong decarbonization plan

August 11-16, 2022

MountainTrue and local energy advocates urge the public to support a strong decarbonization plan MountainTrue, the Creation Care Alliance of WNC (CCA) and other local renewable energy advocates are pushing for a stronger decarbonization plan to help North Carolina meet the renewable energy goals laid out in HB 951, the “Energy Solutions for North Carolina” bill passed by the NC General Assembly in October 2021. The North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) is hosting a series of hearings in the coming months to receive public feedback on Duke Energy’s draft Carbon Plan. MountainTrue, CCA, NC Interfaith Power and Light (NCIPL), the Sierra Club and other local groups are encouraging the public to show their support for a stronger decarbonization plan at NCUC’s hearing in Asheville on July 27. • What: NCUC Hearing on Duke Energy’s Proposed Carbon Plan • When: Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. • Where: Buncombe County Courthouse, Courtroom 1-A, 60 Court Plaza, Asheville, NC 28801 Prior to the hearing, MountainTrue, CCA and NCIPL will offer a free webinar about Duke Energy’s draft Carbon Plan from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 13. The webinar will feature MountainTrue Central Regional Director Gray Jernigan and NCIPL Program Director Susannah Tuttle, M.Div as guest speakers. Webinar attendees will learn about the implications and shortcomings of Duke Energy’s draft Carbon Plan and leave with the information they need to take action in support of our state’s clean energy future at the upcoming NCUC hearing on July 27. The webinar is free, though registration is required: mountaintrue.org/ event/shaping-north-carolinas-clean-energy-future-webinar/ During the public hearings, NCUC asks that only one representative from a given organization speak.

may offer testimony, and those who do not wish to testify may observe the proceedings and/or gather and demonstrate outside the hearing venue. Demonstrations are not allowed in the hearing room. A virtual statewide hearing is scheduled for August 23, 2022. More information on the process, schedule and opportunities for public input are available here: www. ncuc.net/Consumer/carbonplan.html Advocating for a just, equitable and science-based carbon plan is central to MountainTrue and CCA’s green energy and climate change-focused work. “Everyone has the right to clean and affordable energy with the assurance of equitable energy production, transmission, distribution and consumption that won’t harm our health, the health of non-human creatures or the climate,” says CCA Director Sarah Ogletree, “we invite all who are interested to attend this webinar, and we look forward to working together to shape North Carolina’s clean energy future.” HB 951 charges NCUC with developing a Carbon Plan that takes reasonable steps toward achieving our state’s clean energy future and addresses the threats posed by climate change. The bill directs state regulators to cut carbon emissions from energy plants owned and/or operated by Duke Energy by 70% from 2005 levels by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Last November, NCUC ordered Duke Energy to file a draft Carbon Plan by May 16, 2022. Duke Energy is proposing four different portfolios to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and they are requesting that NCUC approve all four options, essentially asking for blanket approval for whatever strategies and infrastructure the company wants to employ. Only one of the portfolios achieves HB 951’s interim goal of 70% carbon reduction by 2030, and that portfolio is the most costly of the four, according to Duke’s analysis. All four portfolios achieve the 2050 carbon neutrality goal, though the means used to achieve said goal are starkly different from one another, and each portfolio includes new gas-powered generation. “Duke Energy’s draft Carbon Plan makes significant advances in the development of solar and wind energy resources and battery storage. However,” explains MountainTrue’s Gray Jernigan, “Duke’s draft plan falls short because it relies too heavily on unproven technologies like small

modular nuclear reactors. Additionally, it proposes new natural gas plants and fails to use cost assumptions that reflect market realities of the affordability of renewable energy generation compared to gas.” You can review Duke Energy’s entire draft Carbon Plan and its summaries on their website: www.duke-energy.com/our-company/ about-us/carolinas-carbon-plan NCUC has the ultimate authority to adopt the best Carbon Plan for the state — not necessarily one of the portfolios proposed by Duke Energy. We believe that NCUC should develop a carbon plan that centers the wellbeing of NC communities, prioritizes a climate justice-based legislative approach and reduces our state’s dependency on fossil fuels to mitigate the effects of climate change. Therefore, MountainTrue is encouraging NCUC to exercise its authority to the fullest extent to achieve the goals of HB 951 and protect the people and environment of North Carolina. MountainTrue champions resilient forests, clean waters and healthy communities. 2022 marks our 40th anniversary and we are committed to keeping our mountain region a beautiful place to live, work and play. Our members protect our forests, clean up our rivers, plan vibrant and livable communities, and advocate for a sound and sustainable future for all. MountainTrue is active in 26 mountain counties, four river basins and nine watersheds in Western North Carolina and North Georgia. MountainTrue is also home to the Broad Riverkeeper, French Broad Riverkeeper, Green Riverkeeper, and Watauga Riverkeeper. The Creation Care Alliance of Western North Carolina is a network of congregations and people of faith united around a moral and spiritual call to care for our neighbors and to preserve the integrity, beauty and health of God’s creation. Our champions for creation care bring practical and hopeful solutions to communities of faith by engaging hearts and minds through inspiration, education, service and advocacy. The Creation Care Alliance of WNC is a program of MountainTrue.

Creativity, community and emergence: Book artists finding hope in isolation The Cleveland County Arts Council is excited to present a new exhibit that includes work from more than 25 artists from North Carolina’s Triangle Book Arts (TBA) created to communicate and express hope during the isolation of the Covid 19 pandemic. These artists will share work shown last summer in a group exhibit at Duke Hospital, which was open only to caregivers, patients, and their families; art they sent to each other in the U.S. Mail (“Mail Art”); and works they have made more recently during this uncertain time of emergence. The artwork ranges from charming and playful to the serious, beautiful, disturbing, and thought provoking. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on Thursday, July 7, 5:00 – 7:00, at the Arts Council, 111 S. Washington St., Shelby. Several of the artists will be there to answer questions about their artwork. The exhibit will remain up through August 11. Josh Hockensmith, a book artist living in Pittsboro, NC and working as a librarian at UNC-Chapel Hill will be the guest speaker at the reception. Hockensmith is the cofounder of Triangle Book Arts and

Accordion books are one of the forms of art that members of NC’s Triangle Book Arts have created to communicate and express hope during the isolation of the pandemic. Photo by Cleveland County Arts Center has a BA in English from the University of Richmond and subsequent coursework in printmaking at UNC. His books are held in more than 25 library and museum collections. He was awarded a 2017 Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artist Grant from the Durham Arts Council. Accordion books, button books, collages, printmaking, retablo installation, books in boxes, postcards, and bookmarks are just some of the forms of art that members of North Carolina’s Triangle Book Arts (TBA) have created to communicate and express hope during the isolation of the pandemic. Accustomed to sharing their work and meeting to share skills, swap supplies, and show their latest work in community workshops, the group sought

ways to communicate and share in new and challenging circumstances. Book art embraces a surprising array of skills and approaches from letterpress printing to origami, collage, painting, and photography. TBA members define “book art” widely, from art that uses and plays with forms of the book as a medium of expression to any work that refers to the book as an idea or form of inspiration. The Arts Council is open Mon. – Friday, 9:00 – 4:00 and Saturday from 10:00 – 2:00. For more information, call 704-484-2787 or visit www.ccartscouncil.org or https://www.facebook.com/ ClevelandCountyArtsCouncil.

MR. AND MRS. ANDREW BOLIN (SOMA SARKAR)

Sarkar, Bolin united in marriage Soma Sarkar and Andrew Bolin celebrated marriage on December 1, 2021, at Radhe Krishna Banquets in Kolkata, India. The traditional Bengali wedding was delayed by the pandemic until India reopened to international visitors. The bride is the daughter of Lakshman and Sandhya Sarkar of Kolkata. She is the grand-daughter of the late Harendranath and Radharani Sarkar of Kolkata and of the late Sunil and Biva Dutta of Kolkata. She graduated from Jadavpur University where she earned a B.E. degree in Instrumentation and Electronics Engineering. She relocated to Charlotte, NC in June 2017 for her work with Cognizant. Soma is currently employed by Bank of America in Charlotte. The groom is the son of Dennis and Leslie Bolin of Kings Mountain. He is the grandson of the late JV and Rene Bolin of Kings Mountain and the late Lester and Doris Dixon of

Gastonia. Drew, a homeschool student, graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He is employed at Reagents, Inc. in Charlotte. The bride treated the groom’s family to a beautiful and eventful trip to the Itachuna Rajbari on November 26 and 27 in where they enjoyed a traditional, delicious thali dinner and explored the Heritage Homestay site. On November 28, the bride’s parents hosted a Sangeet (family party) at their home. The roof was beautifully decorated with fabric and flowers and lights. Family members and friends sang and danced in an extremely joyous and fun celebration. The groom’s parents treated the bride’s family to a tasty dinner at Barbecue Nation. The wedding rituals filled December 1 from the morning to night. The morning included gift presentations and water pour-

ing (Jol Bhora), turmeric smearing (Gaye Holud), and prayers for blessings for the couple (Vridhi). In early evening, the wedding guests began to arrive. The colors and styles of their outfits were truly gorgeous. The ceremony included exchanging vows (Yagna), an exchange of garlands (Mala Badal), the couple walking around the fire (Saptapadi), and ended with the groom applying vermilion to the bride’s forehead. Family and guests then shared a buffet meal. The bride wore red Benarasi Saree, and the groom wore beige Sherwani with maroon Dhoti. The next evening, the bride’s family hosted an amazing reception and meal at their home. The roof had been redecorated and a colorful tent erected in the neighborhood. After a honeymoon in Darjeeling, the couple resides in Charlotte, NC.

LIBERTY From Page 1A walked through the door, it cinched it for me. I auditioned and was offered the role of Ferguson that first year. My wife Ashley says that I originated the role in the world premiere!” He reprised his role for three more seasons before taking a hiatus with another role. This year he has taken up the role of Ferguson once again. One might wonder why Jeremy decided to play Ferguson. He explains, “You must do the role justice, with honor and respect for the human who existed and was well-known. If you are going to embrace the story, you have to embrace all parts of it. And what an interesting person he was! He is a vital part of this story.” “Ferguson was Scottish, and people living here weren’t a lot different,” Jeremy says, referring to the Scots Irish who were Ulster Protestants who come to America from Ulster in Northern Ireland in search

of land and religious freedom. “Many settlers here had Scottish and Irish accents,” Jeremy said. “And Ferguson, I think, represented the old world to them. I’m sure it was tempting to choose to side with him and stay loyal to the King.” Many who chose to oppose the crown had come to America with a chip on their shoulders, victims of poverty and hardship in Ireland and blaming their British landowners. They came to the colonies seeking both land and freedom to worship as they pleased. When the war moved south, both violently and suddenly, settlers were forced to choose sides. And that was not an easy task because their very lives, and the lives of their families, depended upon which side they chose. But a choice had to be made. This dilemma is key to understanding how civil war came to the Carolina backcountry in 1780. The story is real for many whose family members included both Loyalists and Patriots, whose ancestors

founded this region, and the descendants who continue to live in Kings Mountain today. For many, the battled pitted brother against brother. To them this story is a part of their family history and Liberty Mountain brings their story to life. Over the years, the play has evolved. Jeremy says, “With Bob’s writing at the heart, the story has stayed true and has driven everything in a very consistent way. What has changed is this: what started as a traditional theater experience has now been combined with an outdoor theater experience. Over time, those two experiences have met in the middle.” He explains, “You can see how open the stage is because of our combat and choreography. The use of projection allows us to free up our stage. In the first two years, we had traditional set pieces and the stage was very cluttered. The fight scenes were limited because of space and access. By meeting in the middle and using a few moving set pieces, we keep the stage open like a traditional

outdoor drama.” Jeremy Homesley, a native of Cherryville, is married to Ashley DeMar and together they have a son, Roan, named for Roan Mountain that is mentioned in the play. “We met during Liberty Mountain, and I proposed to her on the stage after one of the shows.” Jeremy says, “To us, Liberty Mountain is a family tradition.” His parents are Scott and Robin Homesley, also of Cherryville. This year’s performance features 21 actors, who share the story of people who lived in the backcountry of North and South Carolina, including the Martin family, who faced many tragedies in Scotland, Ireland, and America that led them to support the Patriot cause. At times, the realities of their lives are too much to bear. Speaking of the actors, novelist, screenwriter, and playwright Bob Inman says, “I am so proud of this year’s cast. They are, youngest to oldest, professional, not just for Liberty Mountain, but for any play I’ve ever run. They are really,

Wednesday, July 6, 2022 really, good.” “By the end of the first week, they had everything down. I mean everything, the fight scenes, the whole bit. The second week was just cleaning up,” he added. “They were able to run the whole play on the Friday night of the first week of rehearsal.” Liberty Mountain is an exciting, immersive story that keeps guests on the edge of their seats. Action on stage spills out into the audience as they become part of Continental Congress, hearing debates between colony delegates who determine the nation’s path toward independence. Gun and sword fights are action packed, as the drama unfolds before your eyes. Characters dressed in authentic period clothing with long rifles take you back in time over 241 years ago. Liberty Mountain performances are on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through Sunday, July 17. Only two weekends remain to experience the drama that is Liberty Moun-

tain. Fridays and Saturdays have 7:30 p.m. performances. Matinee performances run Saturdays and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. The box office opens one hour before each performance. Tickets are available online at www.LibertyMountainDrama. com, by phone, 704-730-9408, or at the box office for walkups. Come 30-minutes early to attend our educational weapons display and other activities or stay after the show to Meet the Cast for autographs and photos. Adding to your revolutionary experience is a display of Revolutionary War historical portraits by renowned artist, Thomas Kelly Pauley. Questions should be directed to jim@kmlt.org or call the box office at 704-730-9408. Liberty Mountain is produced by Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Inc. with Gilbert and Jancy Patrick as the Presenting Sponsor. It is also funded in part by a grant from the Kings Mountain Tourism Development Authority.

AARP expands tool to help veterans access health care In June, AARP launched the updated Veterans and Military Families Health Benefits Navigator to bring together valuable information and resources to help veterans, military families and their caregivers navigate their health care options. The tool provides North Carolina’s veterans with critical information about what is required to qualify for health care benefits

from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or Department of Defense (DoD). “Veterans and military families faced many difficulties serving our country; accessing health care benefits they earned shouldn’t be as challenging,” said AARP volunteer Ret. Colonel Shirley Gerrior. “This free, one-stop resource will help make the process less confusing

and overwhelming for veterans and military families as they navigate the best path for their health care needs.” The AARP Veterans and Military Families Health Benefits Navigator has just been expanded to help veterans and their families access VA Specialty Care Programs and Services in the following areas: • Women Veterans

Health Care Program • Specialty Emotional and Mental Health Services • Specialty Dental, Oral, Hearing and Vision Services • Family Caregiver Assistance Program Nearly 60% of all veterans are eligible for VA health care services, yet less than half of those eligible veterans use VA health benefits, according

to a RAND study. And a survey conducted by the VA Center for Women Veterans found women veterans aged 50-plus are the least likely group to use their earned benefits. In addition, of the approximately 724,250 veterans living in North Carolina, only 29% have utilized their earned benefits at VA health care, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Yet quality of care de-

livered by the VA is generally equal to or better than care delivered in the private sector, according to a RAND study. Frustration with the application process and confusion about qualification requirements keeps many veterans from receiving their health benefits.

Arthur Patterson. Sr. at the Battle of Kings Mountain In the program for Liberty Mountain drama, an account was shared about Arthur Patterson, Sr. that brings a both chuckle and a smile. The story reads: “Mark Twain wrote from London in 1897, “The report of my death is an exaggera-

tion." The same could be said of Arthur Patterson, Sr., whose name appears on both the 1880 and 1909 monuments as having been killed at the Battle of Kings Mountain.” “Arthur Patterson, Sr., in fact lived into the 19th century and was quite active in the

community. Still, the reports of his untimely death persist to this day, prominent in many accounts of Kings Mountain History.” “Arthur Patterson lived a few miles north of Little Kings Mountain, just over the state line into North Carolina. On the morning of October 7, 1780 (or perhaps the evening before by some accounts), he sent three of his sons out to check on their stray cattle. When they did not return Patterson went out to investigate. He discovered that a foraging party from Ferguson’s camp had taken one of his cows and was holding his three sons William, Thomas, and Arthur,

Jr, along with neighbor James Lindsay and some others.” “Wanting to free his sons Arthur, Sr., joined in with the patriot militia who encircled the mountain. It is reasonable that he joined in with friend and neighbor Frederick Hambright and the Lincoln County Militia attacking from the northeast quadrant. When the fighting began, the Tories who were guarding the Pattersons joined in the battle, forgetting their charges; the two cooks Virginia Paul and Virginia Sal helped the Patterson boys escape. Arthur, Sr., may well have been looking for them at Ferguson’s supply wagons near

the spring at the east end of the promontory. He was likely in the thick of the fighting. His wife Elizabeth came to the battlefield that afternoon to help with die wounded, perhaps her own husband.” “The Tories had killed Patterson’s cow, of course, and that was prominently noted in later accounts of the battle which circulated: “the Tories killed Arthur Patterson’s cow.” Indeed, the Patterson boys were quite vindictive against the Tories following the capture and escape. On October 8, the day after the battle, two of the Patterson brothers hanged a Tory forager for holding them

prisoner, for killing their cow, for both, or for some other reason.” “After some time, the accounts that others had heard got muddled and what got passed along as family history was that the Tories had killed Arthur Patterson. In 1785/86 Arthur Patterson, Sr., and Frederick Hambright purchased 100 acres to be used for a public meeting house at Shiloh. In 1798 Arthur Patterson, Sr., appeared in court on matters of an estate and his will was dated 1803. By all the evidence available, the reports of Arthur Patterson, Sr.’s death were indeed an exaggeration.”

First and foremost, as Chief of Police, Lisa commits each day in prayer asking the Lord to cover the officers and staff that serve under her leadership, as well as for the protection of the City of Kings Mountain as a whole. She is a dedicated public servant having conducted herself in a professional manner, earning the respect of those with whom she served, and those she was entrusted to serve, contributing to the betterment of her department and the community as a whole.” Mayor Neisler and the city council thanked her service and for being an outstanding City employee.
