Early voting underway KINGS MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL Photo by Loretta Cozart
Cleveland County Schools reach agreement with KMHS transgender student By Loretta Cozart On Feb. 11, Cleveland County Schools reached an agreement with a transgender student who identifies as male and has stage four kidney disease. The student and his parents sued Cleveland County Board of Education, Superintendent Stephen Fisher, and Kings Mountain High School Principal Julie Rikard last month. Prior to his freshman year, the student and his mother advised the school that he would be transitioning to a boy and asked the school to allow him to
accommodate his request to use boys’ restroom. His request was denied, and the student was told to use the girls’ restroom. After beginning testosterone treatments in his sophomore year, the student asked to be allowed to use the boys’ room a second time. The school instead allowed him the use of a single-stall staff restroom. The student and his family proceeded with the lawsuit. In a statement released by Cleveland County Schools Superintendent, Stephen Fisher, he said, “Pursuant to a court order signed by a judge, a student
who had been using single stall private restrooms was been given permission to use the student restroom of their choice.” “A final order for the matter was signed by Judge Bell earlier this month and the case has been dismissed. The finalized order provides summary details of the dismissal,” he shared. According to the dismissal order, the agreement does not change the school’s policy and does not establish a precedent going forward.

Six new beaver dams have sprung up along a narrow stream beside Kings Mountain Gateway Trail’s Foote Tail, on the south side of I-85. Trail Ranger, Cliff Laurich, opened the dams so the accumulated water could run-off. Beaver construct dams on flowing water to back it up so that it becomes deep enough for them to swim.
Beaver build a lodge of sticks that has an underwater entrance. With few natural predators, beaver can thrive and multiply anywhere there is water and ample food. According to North Carolina Wildlife Commission, the beaver were nearly trapped to extinction because their fur was highly sought after for hats and clothing. They were a vital part of the economy during
the 1800s. The last recorded native NC beaver was recorded in 1897. In 1939, 29 beaver were relocated to North Carolina from Pennsylvania. By 1953, more than 1,000 of their offspring inhabited seven counties. Today, beaver can be found in every county in the state. According to NC law, beaver may not be livetrapped and relocated. Trapped beaver must be released or euthanized.
Tornado cleanup continues By Loretta Cozart The Dixon community was hard hit when an EF-2 tornado touched down on February 6 before lunchtime. Six tornados were reported in North Carolina that day, but those living along Dixon School Road suffered the heaviest damage. One week later the cleanup has begun, but things aren’t back to normal. The four toppled high-tension electrical transmission towers have been replaced and the
teams of repairman have gone. Only the muddy ground filled with tire tracks hint at the level of work that took place there last week. Dixon Presbyterian Church’s roof has been repaired, but trees remain toppled all around the building. A red dumpster remains out back, a telltale sign that work on the interior continues. The home next to the church lost most of its shingles, a car port, and attached storage room. A tarp covering the roof until assessments can be made and work begins. Just down the block, the home on the corner at Bethlehem Road lost its
porch and fence to falling trees. Just beyond that, a barn was destroyed. The tin roof was lifted off, shredded, and cast about the area. Huge Oak trees were toppled over. Those that weren’t toppled lost their huge limbs that became projectiles in the wind. Areas off Dixon School Road also suffered damage to a lesser extent. On Wells Road, huge Oak trees had been cut and stacked like cord wood. A small house with roof damage was covered in blue tarps, with tree limbs piled nearby. The Dixon School Road community is slowly rebuilding. Friends and family have come together

■ OBITUARIES
Dr. Scott Mayse KINGS MOUNTAIN – Ray Scott Mayse 69, passed away peacefully at his home on February 10, 2020. Born November 11, 1950 in Rutherford County, he was the oldest child of Peggy Taylor Mayse and H. Ray Mayse. He graduated from East Rutherford High School and Lenoir-Rhyne College before entering Bowman-Gray/Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 1976. Specializing in Internal Medicine, he attended the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston for his internship and residency. In 1980, Dr. Mayse opened a private medical practice in Kings Mountain. Scott loved spending time with his family, traveling the world with his wife Sarah, cheering on the Mountaineer football teams, watching his Panthers, and being frustrated by the Braves! He enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles, reading Harry Potter, and listening to the Beatles. Always willing to help a friend or a patient, he often remarked that he felt patient visits were like seeing old friends. In addition to his busy medical practice and hospital duties, he was an active member of the community. Scott was a member of St. Matthews Lutheran Church where he was a church council president and served on many church committees. Scott was the 1985 Jaycee Young Man of the Year and president of the Kings Mountain KIWANIS Club at the time they launched the idea of building a community indoor pool at the high school. He played an integral role in the project’s development and fundraising efforts. After the natatorium was completed in 1989, he served as President of the Kings Mountain Indoor Pool Foundation for over a decade. He was very proud of this project but always gave credit to others. Dr. Scott Mayse practiced medicine for over 43 years. He worked in Kings Mountain in private practice and then with First Charlotte Physicians in both their University and Epicentre offices. Returning to Kings Mountain last May, he planned to enjoy a slower life, reconnect with old friends, and reclaim his season tickets to Mountaineer Football games. Scott was preceded in death by his mother Peggy Taylor Mayse. He survived by his father Ray Mayse of Bostic, his wife Sarah Huss Mayse of Kings Mountain, children: Marie Johnston (Eric) of Nixa, MO., Nathan Mayse (Sara) of Charlotte, Elise Shelton of Summerville, SC, siblings: Jennifer Kay Cymbalski (Bob) of Rutherfordton, Susan Hollifield (Mike) of Bostic, Sharon Arrowood of Gastonia, Jeff Mayse (Dale) of Rutherfordton, and grandchildren: Evan Johnston, Ryan Johnston, Will Johnston, Seth Mayse, Amelia Mayse, Brian Shelton and James Shelton.

Cleveland County Potato Project dinner Thursday By Loretta Cozart The annual Cleveland County Potato Project dinner is Feb 20 at 6 pm at the Shelby Mission Camp on Sharpton Rd in Shelby. The event features the musical talent of Tommy Young and friends. The Cleveland County Potato Project grew out of an idea that came from a Sunday School Class at the First Baptist Church of Shelby. In 2009, Cleveland County had an unemployment rate of 12% and a history of layoffs and plant closings. Social service agencies were having a difficult time providing food and services. Those involved in the project say it is more than just a story about growing potatoes. It tells the story of choosing to do God's will. “God did not tell us to grow potatoes, but He did convey to us that we could grow potatoes,” said co-founder Doug Sharp. It is the goal of the Cleveland County Potato Project to produce white and sweet potatoes to be given to people in need of food. Local agencies such as the Salvation Army would be given these potatoes at no cost. Any agency receiving these products would be required to give them to their clients. The also seek donations of land, labor and supplies sufficient to grow significant amounts of potatoes. North Carolina Agricultural Service and local professional growers advise them. Physical assistance for land preparation, planting, weeding harvesting, etc., is sought from local organiza-
tions like Future Farmers of America, 4-H Clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, school groups, church organizations, and civic clubs. During one terrible growing season, 10,000 lbs. of white potatoes were grown and distributed. There were more than 20,000 pounds of sweet potatoes that were harvested the 2011 season. In the 2012 season over 80,000 lbs. of potatoes were harvested. Raising enough money to grow ten acres of white potatoes and three acres of sweet potatoes. If we reach these goals, we will try for more. Donations and grants are solicited from interested parties and donations are tax deductible. “We wanted The Potato Project to have broad support from the county. It was not to be a one denomination project or focus on only one area of the county,” Sharp said. “We were equal opportunity beggars. We also do not have any plans to sell any of the potatoes, we are not competing with any business. With the right support and facilities, we could provide potatoes for a period of 12 or more weeks per year and a year around supply of sweet potatoes. This is a unique 501c3 organization with no salaried staff and that helps a lot of people in the county,” said Sharp. For questions or reserve your seat, call 704 472 5128 or 704 480 1608 by sunset, Feb. 18. Cost for dinner is $8.00 per person and donations are accepted. The Shelby Mission Camp is located at 302 Sharpton Dr, Shelby, NC 28150.

“Can we ALL just get along?”
■ MEDITATION
Exiles and Prayer Daniel faced quite a challenge living as an exile: Could he maintain his identity and allegiance as an Israelite while living in Babylon, learning BabyRev. lonian language Rob Patrick, Pastor and literature, and Boyce Memorial serving King NeARP buchadnezzar? To make matters more difficult, his stay in Babylon would not be brief; Daniel lived among the Babylonians for over seventy years! Would Daniel feel pressure, or even temptation, simply to give in and live like a
Babylonian? For that matter, do we Christians feel pressure or temptation to “fit in” to the cultures in which we live? How do God’s people avoid acculturation? Prayer was a key to Daniel’s faithfulness. We see Daniel’s dependence upon prayer in Daniel 2. When Nebuchadnezzar planned to kill all wise men in his kingdom due to their inability to tell him his dream and its meaning, Daniel asked for time, and then requested that his friends pray for him. The LORD answered their prayers, giving Daniel knowledge of the dream and its interpretation, thus saving the wise men! Daniel literally en-
trusted his life to God in prayer! Daniel 6 displays his commitment to prayer when a later king, Darius, forbade prayer offered to anyone but him, upon penalty of death in a den of lions. Daniel prayed to the LORD anyway! In fact, he prayed three times a day with his windows open, demonstrating both the importance of prayer and fearless trust that God could deliver him. Daniel 9 records a prayer Daniel prayed during the reign of Darius. This prayer underscores the significance of prayer in Daniel’s life as an exile. Daniel’s prayer is ordered by God’s word, praising God and confessing sin as he pleads for God’s promised mercy upon His people. What does Daniel ask of God? “…for Your own sake, O Lord, make Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary, which
is desolate.” Daniel’s first concern in prayer wasn’t for comfort or safety as an exile; it was for God’s glory through His people’s worship. Daniel never forgot where and to Whom he belonged. Decades after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, he still prayed for restoration of the sanctuary for worship. Why is this prayer important? Daniel was praying for biblical priorities, not just the satisfaction of his preferences or appetites. The heart of the exile is guarded against acculturation when it is set upon the glory of God and filled with zeal for his worship. What priorities shape your prayers as an exile? We pray for the things that hold sway in our hearts. Do you pray for God’s glory?

In addition, the exhibition includes a display of stage outfits worn by Loretta Lynn and Connie Smith and objects owned by Alice Randall, the songwriter of “XXX’s and OOO’s (An American Girl),” a #1 hit for singer Trisha Yearwood. The Earl Scruggs Center will celebrate the opening of Standing Her Ground: Women in Country Music with a special donor and member reception on Thursday, February 13.

Those who are not registered can register and vote at the same time during the early voting period and make any address changes. Submit a signed absentee-by-mail request form to the Cleveland County Board of Elections by mail or in person by 5 p.m. on Feb. 25 and return the ballot to the county board by 5 p.m. March 3.

Seven to be inducted into KM Hall of Fame A team and six individuals will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame Sat., May 9 at Central United Methodist Church. This year’s list brings the total Hall of Fame inductees to 145 individuals and teams. The team is the 1999 Kings Mountain High School track team which
finished second in the NCHSAA by just two and a half points. The Mountaineers’ head coach was the late John Bumgardner. The ’99 team was the only one in school history to win all of its regular meets, the Southwestern 3A Conference, the Cleveland County championship, the Shelby Invitational championship and the Western
Regional championship. Individuals to be inducted are: -Jim Medlin, an all-star lineman on the 1963 KMHS team which shared the SWC championship with a 9-0-1 record. He played in the Lions Bowl all-star game and later played at Western Carolina University. -Tim Riddle, Mountaineer tennis star who won the

Tickets will go on sale soon at downtown businesses and other locations.
KMHS tennis coach Rick Henderson speaks to the crowd attending tennis court dedication.
KMTD Club dedicates new tennis facility, football field Kings Mountain Touchdown Club turned over ownership of the new KMHS tennis facilities and football field during a ceremony attended by about 100 people Wednesday at the tennis courts. Club President David Brinkley presented the facilities to Dr. Stephen Fisher, Supt. of Cleveland County Schools, and Julie Rikard, principal of Kings Mountain High. All three spoke, as well as veteran KMHS boys and girls tennis coach Rick Henderson and football coach Greg Lloyd. The new facilities bring the total value of property raised by the touchdown club to over $5 million, Brinkley noted. “There was a lot of negativity in the beginning, but see what we have today,” he said. “Our community works together. I know I get a lot of credit – more than I deserve – but this is because of team work. I hope we have made a difference for our student athletes and the community.” Brinkley recognized
many individuals and companies that contributed, including the ones that were paid for their services and those who gave freely. Quoting Proverbs 15:22, Brinkley said “Plans fail for lack of counsel, which to me means don’t be afraid to ask for help.” Head football coach Greg Lloyd said interest in football at KMHS is at the highest point since he’s been here, and said construction of a new field house, an updated weight room and the new turf field helped bring it about. Since the first project – the field house – was completed five years ago the Mountaineers have won 59 games, he noted. Tennis coach Rick Henderson spoke highly of all persons and businesses that contributed money and their talents to provide one of the finest facilities in the state. “Having built a state of the art tennis complex such as this at our high school here in Kings Mountain, is something nobody could have ever imagined,” he
said. “Our tennis community needs to give David Brinkley a big thank you for having the vision approximately 13 or 14 years ago to start the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club. The entire city of Kings Mountain and the surrounding areas are very excited about the new KMHS tennis complex as well as the KMHS football field getting a new face lift. “This truly has been a community effort in making this all possible.” One of the happiest people in the crowd was former KMHS tennis coach Ed Guy, who spent 15 years coaching both girls and boys and still gives tennis lessons to youngsters and attends every Mountaineer match. “The new courts are a dream come true,” he said. “To see the flat new courts that are colored the same as the USTA US Open is amazing. I was happy with the walkway areas and spacing between the courts. Fans will be able to watch matches and have a great view from anywhere. With
KMHS football coach Greg Lloyd addresses crowd at dedication. two court sets, there will not be tennis balls rolling down the hill to put people in danger of turning an ankle or worse.” He also said he was glad to see so many people at the dedication. “There was the boys team, including my grandson, who came for their first practice,” he said. “Some of the girls team were there. I had the pleasure of seeing some of the best players that I coached.”
Retired – but the biggest KM tennis fan – Ed Guy listens as new tennis facility is dedicated.
Guy started coaching tennis in 1972 after being convinced by two players that they needed a coach. Principal Jake Atkinson asked him to start a girls team. “It was against my will,” Guy said, “but it turned out to be a great experience and I enjoyed coaching both boys and girls.” Guy said his players accepted that the courts were the best at the time, and over the years other attempts were made for improvement. “Money and will were the roadblocks that stopped progress,” he said. “A little over a year ago, David Brinkley came to me and
asked if I could design an ideal tennis facility. I did the drawings quickly and that is how we started. David is a high energy mover and shaker while I hate to ask people for anything. I am especially thankful to David and the Touchdown Club for their energy and support with this project and all others.” Guy was at the school every day watching the progress of the courts, and taking photos of the progress. “I suspect some of the construction people wondered who I was and what I was doing,” he said. “But it is a great source of pride for me and should be for the entire community.”

KM ladies whip Crest to finish in third place Kings Mountain’s girls basketball team completed its regular season Friday night with a runaway victory over county rival Crest, 64-36, at Donald L.

The Lady Mountaineers will be competing in the BSC tournament this week and hoping to get a berth in next week’s state tournament. They were playing Crest for the second time in four nights Monday in an opening round game at Parker Gym. The winner will advance against the winner of the Stuart Cramer/Forestview game Wednesday at 6
p.m. at Gastonia Ashbrook. The championship game will be Friday at Hunter Huss. Behind the scoring of sophomore standout Saniya Wilson and their only senior, Essence Houser, the Lady Mountaineers blazed out to a 16-5 first quarter and won going away Friday at Parker Gym.

Dunlap led the Lady Jaguars with 18 points and Wilson led KM with 17. Other Mountaineer scorers were Khalia King eight, Kennedy Barnes seven, Essence Houser two and CoRey Simpson one. KM-CREST KM (64) – Arnold 3, King 4, Wilson 25, Head 4, Houser 16, Simpson 2, Bell 6. C (36) – Downs 7, Bess 9, Petty 11, Hamrick 3, Smith 6.

Arielle Ritch had there and Kamari Odems two. “The girls played much better on defense but could not get any shots to fall,” said Coach Monty Deaton. Kamari Odems stood out on defense and Akireona Richardson led the team in rebounds. Ritch led the scoring with 11 points in the loss to West Lincoln. Surratt added seven, Allysia Pettis four and Farri Martin two. Odems and Brittany Blanton played well on defense.

KM falls to Forestview, Crest in final BS games Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers suffered two tough losses in their final two Big South Conference games last week, losing to Forestview 105-101 in double overtime in Gastonia on Tuesday, then having Crest come from 14 points down in the fourth quarter to beat them 63-61 in the regular season finale Friday at Parker Gym. After tie-breakers were determined, the losses left the Mountaineers as the fourth seed for the Big South 3A tournament that began on Monday night with the Mountaineers hosting Ashbrook. Action continues on Wednesday, and the championship games will be held Friday at Hunter Huss. The Mountaineers had seven players foul out of the game with Forestview,
which was KM’s third 100point game of the season. That’s probably the first time ever a KM team has had three 100-point games in the same season, but the won the other two. According to the KM scorebook, four of those players had only four fouls but the official scorer from Forestview had them with five. Logan Botts, the Big South’s leading scorer, led the Jaguars’ attack with 30 points. Jamarion Dawkins scored 20, John Martin 15 and Ayonta Griggs 12. With most KM starters in foul trouble and eventually fouling out, sophomore Zeke Cannedy led the Mountaineers with 27 points, including seven from three-point range. Greg Brockington added 25. Forestview, which had
only two players foul out, went to the charity stripe 50 times to KM’s 27. Friday saw Crest come back from a 53-39 deficit at the end of three periods to open the fourth quarter on a 9-0 run in less than three minutes to pull within 5247. Kings Mountain traveled on its trip down court and the Chargers’ leading scorer, Mari Adams, stole the ball and went in for a layup to get it within three at 52-49. KM still led 56-54 but had another traveling call, and Adams scored again to tie the game at 56 with 2:30 left. Baskets by KM’s Greg Brockington and Adams left it tied two minutes later before KM’s Westin Hughes hit the first of a one-and-one foul to put KM on top 59-58 with 1:43 to go. Kobe Paysour scored
on a drive and lay-in with 38 seconds left to answer a goal by the Chargers’ Jadin Merritt, giving KM its last lead at 61-60. After a timeout the Chargers went back on top 62-61 when Ray Hill drove the baseline for a bucket. KM had six seconds to get down court and score, but lost the ball out of bounds with 1.9 ticks left. Borders hit the first of two free throws to close out the victory. Paysour and Rasheem Hughes led the Mountaineers with 15 points each, and Brockington added 10. Following Adams’ 26 for the Chargers were Borders and Meritt with 11 each. KM (61) – Paysour 15, R. Hughes 15, Tate 8, W. Hughes 7, Odums 2, Brockington 10, Cannedy 3. C (63) – Borders 11, Merritt 11, Adams 26, Hall 9, Lytle 3, Hall 3.

10 Things Medicare Doesn’t Cover Dear Savvy Senior, I will be enrolling in Medicare in a few months and would like to find out what they don’t cover so I can avoid any surprises. Almost 65
Dear Almost, While Medicare (Part A and B) covers a wide array of health care services after you turn 65, it doesn’t cover everything. If you need or want certain services that aren’t covered, you’ll have to pay for them yourself unless you have other insurance, or you enroll in a Medicare Advantage health plan, which may offer some additional benefits. Here’s a look at some commonly needed medical services that original Medicare doesn’t pay for. Most dental care: Routine dental care including checkups, cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions and dentures are not covered by Medicare. However, some Medicare Advantage plans do cover basic dental care services. Routine vision care and eyeglasses: Medicare does not cover routine eye exams, eyeglasses and contact lenses (except following cataract surgery), but tests, treatments and surgeries for medical eye diseases like cat-
aracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration are covered. Some Medicare Advantage plans do offer routine vision benefits.
Alternative medicine: Acupuncture, chiropractic services (except to fix subluxation of the spine), and other types of alternative or complementary care are not covered by Medicare. Prescription drugs: Medicare (Part A and B) doesn’t provide coverage for outpatient prescription drugs, but you can buy a separate Part D prescription-drug policy that does, or a Medicare Advantage plan that covers both medical and drug costs. Cosmetic surgery: Most cosmetic procedures are not covered, however, if the surgery is due to an injury or deformity, it might pay. For example, Medicare will cover a breast prosthesis for breast cancer survivors. Hearing aids: Medicare will not pay for hearing exams or hearing aids, but may cover a hearing and balance exam if your doctor determines it’s necessary. Some Medicare Advantage plans do offer hearing benefits. Long-term care: Nursing home care and
assisted living facilities are not covered by Medicare. But, Medicare will help pay up to 100 days of skilled nursing or rehabilitation care immediately following a hospital stay of three or more days.
Personal home care: If you need to hire help for bathing, dressing or getting out of bed, Medicare typically won’t cover these costs either, unless you are homebound and are also receiving skilled nursing care. Housekeeping services, such as shopping, meal preparation and cleaning are not covered either unless you are receiving hospice care. But a few Medicare Advantage plans do offer in-home support services.
gap supplemental plans D, G, M and N cover 80 percent of emergency care abroad, and some Medicare Advantage plans cover emergency care abroad too. The best way to find out what Medicare covers is to talk to your health care provider, visit Medicare.gov/coverage and type in your test, item or service, or download the Medicare “What’s covered” app on the App Store or Google Play. And to look for Medicare Advantage plans that offer additional benefits visit Medicare.gov/plan-compare.
Routine foot care: Medicare does not cover most routine foot care, like the cutting or removing of corns, calluses and toenails. But they do cover medically necessary podiatrist services for foot problems like hammertoes, bunion and heel spurs, along with exams, treatments and therapeutic shoes or inserts if you have diabetic foot problems.
Also keep in mind that even if Medicare covers a service or item, they don’t pay 100 percent of the cost. You will have to pay a monthly Part B premium (which is $135.50 for most beneficiaries) and unless you have supplemental insurance, you’ll have to pay your annual deductibles and copayments too. However, most preventive services are covered 100 percent by Medicare with no copays or deductibles.
Overseas coverage: In most cases, health care outside of the United States is not covered by Medicare except for very limited circumstances – such as on a cruise ship within six hours of a U.S. port. But, Medi-

Anthony one of the most widely known suffragist of her generation and became an icon of the woman’s suffrage movement in the United Sates. She was born in Adams, Massachusetts on February 15, 1820. When she was 25, the Anthony family moved to Rochester, New York, and they became active in the antislavery movement. In 1848 Anthony worked as a teacher in Canajoharie, New York and became involved with the teacher’s union when she learned that male teachers had a monthly salary of $10.00, while the female teachers earned $2.50 a month. Her parents and sister Marry attended the 1848 Rochester Woman’s Rights Convention held August 2. The Anthony family also became active in the
antislavery movement that same year. Antislavery Quakers met at their farm, where they were sometimes joined by Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison. Anthony’s experience with the teacher’s union, temperance, and antislavery reforms, and her Quaker upbringing, laid fertile ground for a career in women’s rights reform to grow. The career would begin with an introduction to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851. This introduction began Anthony’s interest in women’s rights. Anthony devoted the rest of her life to women’s rights. In 1853 Anthony campaigned for women's property rights in New York State, speaking at meetings, collecting signatures for petitions, and lobbying the state legislature. Anthony and Stanton
founded the American Equal Rights Association (AERA) and in 1868 became editors of its newspaper, The Revolution. The masthead of the newspaper proudly displayed their motto, “Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.” Anthony and her three sisters voted in the 1872 Presidential election. She was arrested at her Rochester, New York home and put on trial in the Ontario County Courthouse, Canandaigua, New York. The judge instructed the jury to find her guilty without any deliberations and imposed a $100 fine. Anthony refused to pay the fine and the judge didn’t have her arrested. From 1881 to 1885, Anthony joined Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage in writing the
History of Woman Suffrage. This extensive work focuses solely on white women suffragists. In her later years, Anthony continued the fight for women’s rights. She led the National American Women’s Suffrage Association until 1900 and traveled the country giving speeches and collecting signatures for petitions. In 1895, Anthony toured Yosemite National Park by mule. In 1898, Anthony joined the DAR and lamented that she could not take a more active role, writing, “I have been and must continue to be busy working to secure for the women of this day the paramount rights for which the Revolutionary War was waged.” Susan B. Anthony died on March 13, 1906 of heart failure and pneumonia at her Rochester home and

SUFFRAGIST SUSAN B. ANTHONY Photo Library of Congress was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery. She did not live to see passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. As a final tribute to Susan B. Anthony, the Nineteenth Amendment was named the Susan B.
Anthony Amendment. It was ratified in 1920. Susan B. Anthony is also the first non-fictional woman to be depicted on US currency: from 1979 to 1981 and again in 1999, her portrait was on the United States dollar coin.

Chicken lips fresh daily
Kings Mountain Service Stations By Loretta Cozart When Highway 74, a 451.8-mile route connecting Asheville to Charlotte and then on to Wilmington was built in 1927, distant parts of the state became much more accessible to the average person. Add to that good wages and more affordable vehicles, and you’ll understand why we had so many gas stations in Kings Mountain in the 1950s and 1960s. Early on, drivers had to wind their way to drive through Kings Mountain, entering on Cleveland Avenue from Bessemer City, then turning west on Kings Street, left onto Battleground, and right onto Mountain Street, the route then took them to Shelby Road. Eventually, the highway crossed over I-85 from Gastonia and brought drivers right through town without nary a twist or turn. And with that, a booming service station industry began in Kings Mountain. There were 20-plus service stations in town by the 1960s, most on Kings Street and Battleground Avenue, and competition between them was fierce. An enterprising fellow named Blackie Oates owned the gas station at the intersection of King Street and Cleveland Avenue. To draw attention to his station, he put a sign out that read, “Chicken Lips Fresh Daily.” His marketing ploy worked so well that many Kings Mountain residents remember the sign to this day. It was so crazy, it bordered on genius. Even after Oates sold the station, the sign continued to be used to draw in customers. The new owners even ran ads in the Herald into the 1980s with that hook. Jimmy Payseur’ s grandfather owned a Fisk Service Station and he shared this about his grandpa, “It's just at the edge of town on Cleveland Ave (Hwy. 161) towards Bessemer City across from my grandparents' homeplace. Granddad, BR Payseur, ran the steam engine room at one of the mills and had the gas station and tourist camp on the side. It sold ice cream, too. Quite the capitalist. They also raised and sold produce and livestock. He died in the 1930s so I never got to meet
Fuller McGill at his station. (Photo KM Historical Museum)
Otis Falls’ Exxon sign owned by Tyler Falls. Photo by Tyler Falls him. I think it was one of the first gas stations in town.” Payseur’s station very likely was one of the first service stations. The earliest service station in town proper that most people remember was Fuller McGill’s Esso Station at 100 E King. But it didn’t take long for gasoline stations to start springing up everywhere, especially after World War II when all the servicemen returned home to a booming economy. Motorists had a cornucopia of choices when it came to purchasing gasoline. Whether driven by friendship, price, or quality, Kings Mountain shoppers certainly had choices. (This is not a compressive list, as only a few City Directories are currently available. Some addresses in the list duplicate, as businesses changed hands over time.) Driving East to West on Kings Street, drivers could fill-up at: Thrifty Service Station, 611 E. King Oates Shell Service, 601 E King Oates and Henderson, 601 E. King Bridges Texaco / Bridges 66, 600 E King East King Esso Service Station, 518 E King Cornwell’s Atlantic Service Station 213 E. King Street Conner’s Tenneco, 201 E. King St. King St Gulf Ser, 112 E King Harold’s Gulf, 112 E King McGill’s Esso Service Center, 100 E King City Ser Station, 113 W King PUROL, 114 W. King McCoy's Ser Station, 201 W King West End Grocery, Shelby Rd Jolley’s Amoco, Shelby Road Byers Amoco Ser,
Shelby Rd Driving from Bessemer City, drivers had the option of shopping at Early’s Crown, Cleveland Avenue. It may have been located at the intersection of Linwood Road and Cleveland Avenue. In the late 1960s most just called it the Crown Station. Driving toward Grover, shoppers could fill up at: Gore's Shell Ser, 121 S Battleground Av Gamble’s Shell, 121 S. Battleground Av Center Service, 125 S Battleground Av Further out but not yet to Grover, drivers could choose between: Battleground Ser Station, Grover Rd Conner’s Shell, 904 Grover Road Sanders Shell Service, Grover Rd Sanders Shell Service, Grover Rd At the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Battleground Avenue, there was even a neighborhood station called Harold's Shell Service at 215 N Piedmont Ave. It was conveniently located across from the Southern Railway Station and Payne’s Grocery. Central School was less than a block away. Prior to the Hwy. 74 by-pass being built, there were many days when driving from Point A to Point B in town became quite a headache on Kings Street. During peak leaf season, or the occasional automobile accident, or students on break from college, the traffic would come to a screeching halt for what seemed an eternity. Crossing Kings Street was near impossible until stop lights were added, which slowed down traffic even more. It became a Catch-22. To solve the problem, the state proposed a bypass. And while the bypass
did ease traffic congestion, it also caused traffic to bypass all the gas stations in town, as well. So, one by one, the old stations closed. Remnants of those early stations can be seen throughout town, most notably McGill’s Esso / Exxon Station. Perhaps, one day, we’ll come up with a new enticement to draw drivers into town. Until then, we could try borrowing Blackie Oates idea and see if offering Chicken Lips Fresh Daily on a sign along the highway might do the trick.
