visually impaired granddaughter of the Legion’s First Vice Commander, Larry Carroll and Canteen manager, Rachael Carroll. The ride was to raise funds to get Huntlee a needed Braille typewriter for Christmas for her to have See LEGION, Page 2A
Heating assistance for qualified families Cleveland County Department of Social Services is now taking applications from individuals who need financial assistance with paying their heating bills. Each eligible household may receive up to a maximum of $600 per year for heating and cooling assistance combined. This is a federally funded program and the total amount that Cleveland County received for heating and cooling assistance this year was $547,000. Of this total funding, $264,000 was paid to 1,342 households for cooling assistance this past summer. That deduction
leaves a remaining balance of $283,000 in the County’s emergency fund to pay for heating bills this winter. To be eligible to receive financial assistance with heating, a household must: • Be located in Cleveland County • Have at least one U.S. citizen or non-citizen who meets the eligibility criteria • Have income equal to or less than 150% of the federal poverty limit • For example: • For a household of one, an income of $18,732 or less • For a family of four, an income of $38,628 or less
Looking back at 2019 the year in review By Loretta Cozart The year 2019 has been a year of good news primarily, as most of the Herald’s headlines would attest. Members of the community have supported each other, giving to charitable causes and remembering our children throughout the year. A pictorial view of 2019 in today’s Herald won’t include every event but gives a review of the year that ended Dec. 31.

• Have a health-related issue that might be made worse without heat • Have a utility bill that shows how much is owed to the utility company • Be responsible for their heating cost Each household is individually evaluated, and if determined eligible for assistance, payments are made directly to the household’s utility company. Last year, Cleveland County provided heating and cooling assistance to 2,775 applicants for a total of $588,000. For more information on the program and eligibility, visit www.ncdhhs.gov/assistance/low-income-services/crisis-intervention. You also can call Cleveland County’s Department of Social Services at (704) 487-0661, ext. 394. Q&A about Heating Assistance Have requests already started this year? We are just beginning the process of making the community aware that this emergency financial assistance is available for help with heating bills. However, we provided assistance with utility bills for cooling to 1,342 households totaling $264,000 in financial assistance this past summer. Is there a cap on the number of people who can be helped? There is not a cap on the number of people who can be helped. However, the emergency assistance fund for heating and cooling has a limited amount of money. The total available for heating and cooling assistance this year is $547,000. As noted previously, $264,000 has been provided for cooling assistance, leaving a balance of $283,000 available for heating assistance this year. The number of people served will be determined by the number of people who are eligible and how much is needed per household. How is the heating assistance funded? The emergency financial assistance for heating and cooling is a federally funded program. How does heating assistance work? Does the person needing help pay a certain amount? Each household can receive a maximum of $600 per year in heating and cooling financial assistance. For example, if a household received $200 for cooling assistance this summer, they would be eligible to receive up to $400 more for heating assistance this winter. This program provides a total payment to the utility company on behalf of the person who has applied and determined to meet eligibility requirements. However, many utility bills bundle electric or heating with water, sewage and/or trash. This program provides financial assistance for the portion of the bill that covers heating. The purpose of this program is to resolve the financial crisis caused by the heating bill. If the total utility bill has fees associated with other utilities (trash, water, sewer), that portion of the bill must be paid before the applicant can receive financial assistance for heating, or else the crisis that the household is facing will not be resolved.

apply beginning January 2 through March 31, or until funds are depleated. Contact Cleveland County Department of Social Services at 704-4870661 to apply.

Post 155 brings American Legion State Tournament to KM in July By Loretta Cozart American Legion Post 155 has been named the host of the Department of NC American Legion State Tournament being held at Kings Mountain High School in July 2020. Commander Ken Breakfield, and alumnus of Kings Mountain High School, created a committee and set about the task of bringing the tournament to Kings Mountain shortly after taking over as Post 155 Commander. In early December, the post was awarded the NC State Tournament that had formerly been played in Cherryville. Each state tournament is an eight team, pool play tournament over five days Teams report on Thursday, July 23. Games start on July 24 and end on July 28. The Cleveland County team will be the host team. Winners will go onto compete at Regional Legion Tournament in Asheboro. Commenting on the event, Ellis Noell, Kings Mountain Tourism Development Director, said " It's
exciting to have such a large sporting event like this state championship planned for our city in 2020. The economic impact alone promises to be strong with all the North Carolina teams staying, dining and shopping in Kings Mountain over a five-day period. American Legion Post 155 worked hard to be awarded as the host of this state baseball championship which will run up to the regionals and on to the American Legion World Series, to be played this August in Shelby." The Herald will share more details about this event as they become available.

Second positive case of rabies odentified in Clev. County this year On December 23, 2019 the Cleveland County Health Department was notified of a skunk that tested positive for rabies. This is the second rabid animal identified in the county this year. The animal was found at Tibor Drive, Kings Mountain, NC. Any person bitten or exposed to potentially infectious saliva from this skunk should contact their healthcare provider or the local health department for a rabies risk assessment. You may contact the Cleveland County Health Department at 980484-5320 or 980-484-5100. Rabies is a fatal yet preventable disease if post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is administered. Rabies is transmitted by the bite of an infected animal or via contamination of open wounds or mucus membranes with potentially infectious material such as saliva. Prevention of rabies is based on protection of susceptible animals and people and appropriate management of persons and animals exposed to rabies: • Vaccinate pets. In accordance with NC State Law, all dogs, cats, and ferrets must be kept currently vaccinated against rabies and must wear a rabies tag. Cats are the most commonly identified domestic animal with rabies. • Control measures for pets exposed to rabies:
If pets are exposed to rabies they should receive a booster dose of rabies vaccine if they are currently vaccinated at the time of exposure. If pets are not currently vaccinated against rabies when exposed, the animals will be euthanized or quarantined for six months in accordance with state law. • Control measures for persons exposed to rabies: Seek medical guidance from your healthcare provider or the local health department if you believe you have been exposed to rabies. • Limit stray and feral animals. In the cities of Shelby, Kings Mountain, Boiling Springs, and Grover all dogs must be kept on a leash. Persons should not approach stray or feral dogs or cats. Feral cat colonies should be intensively monitored and their location reported to Cleveland County Animal Control. • Leave wildlife alone. Raccoons and other wildlife serve as the reservoir for rabies in North Carolina. Rabies occurs throughout North Carolina. Anyone that sees an animal demonstrating unusual behavior should call the Cleveland County Animal Control Department at 704481-9884.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pieces of Kings Mountain History I learned earlier this week that a dear teacher of mine had passed away. Phil Bryson, LORETTA the BioloCOZART gy teacher at Kings Mountain High School, left us on Dec. 14 at the age of 75-years old. Looking at the photo in his obituary, I could still see the Mr. Bryson that I had known. He was a little older and a lot grayer. Aren’t we all? Nonetheless, I recognized him. Mr. Bryson taught for 29-years in the same classroom at Kings Mountain High School. It is hard to imagine the thousands of students he taught in his career. I am thankful I was one of them. In those days, Kings Mountain Senior High School comprised grades 10, 11, and 12. The total school population was 1,000 students. The first day of school, I remember searching to find my homeroom by following a map that came with my class schedule. My brother and I had the same homeroom, so it made the job a little easier.
We descended the stairs from the cafeteria toward the bus lot, made a hardright turn, and entered the basement/fallout shelter of the school. Making another hard right, followed by a second, brought us to the classroom of Phil Bryson. The room had an odd odor, probably due to the formaldehyde. I feel sure it smells of formaldehyde still. Mr. Bryson’s desk was a lab table that took up a good portion of the front of his classroom. Desks accommodated two students each and had a black top, much like that of the teacher’s desk. Mr. Bryson greeted the class and was soft-spoken. One could tell he enjoyed being a teacher. I venture to guess that he loved teaching and enjoyed his students, since he and Jackie Lavender, who taught Chemistry and Physics, supervised the Science Club together. In my junior year, the Science Club trip was to Pisgah National Forest. We stopped at Sliding Rock on the way, and most of us were excited to participate. The water was a cool 55 degrees. I remember we took two buses on this trip,

than two hours. Running a marathon is an amazing accomplishment and not for the faint of heart. Most people will never attempt such an endeavor nor even aspire to try. For many, jogging a couple of miles or even walking a mile or two is an accomplishment. The idea of running a mile in less than six minutes is certainly for the physically fit but what about running a mile in 4:34 minutes? Who could ever imagine running 26.2 miles at an average of 4.34 minutes per mile? This is exactly what Kipchoge did in Vienna on Oct. 12, in the unofficial Vienna run. The world record 34-yearold runner from Kenya is already a marathon record holder. In 2018, he set the world record in the Berlin marathon running 2:01:39. He also won the Olympic marathon in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. The feat will not go on the record books as an official world record because it wasn’t an open competition. Also, Kipchoge was assisted by a team of rotating world class runners who ran in front and alongside him in

a ‘V’ formation as he ran an average speed of 13.6 mph. If you are physically fit, you might try running on a treadmill at 13.6 mph for a couple of minutes to get an idea of how that pace feels. To prepare for the event organized by chemical company Ineos and sponsored by Nike, Kipchoge was reported to average running 140 miles per week at a high altitude. Setting a world record is probably not on your radar for today. What about finding a job, losing ten pounds, or getting your life in order? Completing this week or just this day may be your marathon and you are aren’t sure how it’s going to work out. Often our greatest accomplishment for the day is making a decision, a change in our lives, or just showing up for life! Kipchoge obviously had a goal, worked hard, and organized his life to achieve it. Keep in mind it’s possible. You can do it. With God, hard work, with help, in some way, by some miracle, it’s possible. Don’t give up!

Happy New Year! Most of our eyes were us are explaced in front of cited about us - instead of bebeginning a hind us. We can’t brand new move forward year. There’s looking back! something reWhy is it freshing about difficult to let “newness.” go of the past? It’s a time to For starters, it’s dream again, DANYALE PATTERSON human nature believe again, to want to be in and hope charge of every again. Yet, we know that aspect of our lives. Fawhile we like the idea of miliarity brings a level of new things, there is a ten- security and comfort to dency to hold onto that our emotions. I love the which keeps us from re- Serenity Prayer by Amerceiving and enjoying the ican theologian Reinhold NEW! There’s a reason Niebhur. The prayer re-
veals the right perspective on controlling our lives. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Secondly, the unknown can be scary. Have you ever played the “What If” game - the game of creating the worst possible scenarios in your mind until you are paralyzed with fear or too depressed to take action? Typically, these events we have concocted in our minds never happen. Lastly, we like what we
like! I had a pair of shoes that I really enjoyed wearing. They were comfortable, cute, and were given to me as a gift. I always wore those shoes. Even when they started falling apart, I did not want to get rid of them. Sometimes though, there are things, habits, places, and even people that we need to separate ourselves from, but we just don’t want to release them. In Isaiah 43:18-19 God instructs saying, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilder-
ness, and rivers in the desert.” Instead of holding on to the past, we have the opportunity to embrace the new. The new thing allows us to reboot. It helps us to make or adjust to changes that will establish the new beginning. In addition, new or different things can stretch us so we can personally grow and go to the next level of thinking, character, faith, and vision. It is possible to be in a good place or be better than we were before, but still not have God’s best. The Israelites had a choice to make. They could have had Canaan (the promised land), but they got stuck wondering in the wilderness for 40 years. The
wilderness was better than slavery in Egypt. They were free, they had provision and protection, but it was not the land of milk and honey. Although God was with them in the wilderness, he kept directing them toward Canaan. God is always moving us forward toward His best. When we embrace God’s plan for the new, we will always go from glory to glory! II Corinthians 3:18. Will you trust God in this New Year?

voters, and the rule of law.” In December 2018, the NC House was successful in overriding Gov. Cooper’s veto of rules to implement the voter ID
requirement, which NC voters supported in the Nov. 2018 election. After a heated debate, the vote to override Gov. Cooper’s veto passed 72 – 40.
someday to regain respectability and return to a good life, he is working in a cheap deli. There is more. His circumstances make him a target of sophisticated crooks. A stranger who calls himself Caleb visits the deli and proposes that Kevin cooperate in a multi-million dollar scam to con his malpractice insurer out of millions of dollars. As a part of the scam, Kevin would admit that he failed to follow up on a client’s option to purchase a parcel of mountain land for a little less than a million dollars. She lost the property, which later sold for six million dollars. If Kevin plays along, his lawyer’s malpractice insurer will pay five million to Kevin’s former client who is a part of the scam. When Kevin turns Caleb and his colleagues down, they use a corrupt law enforcement official to get a fake positive drug test and plant drugs and a pistol in his car. The resulting probation violation and new charges could put Kevin
in jail for a long time. His Job-like experience continues. He suffers a stroke just as his soon-to-be-exwife takes him off her health insurance coverage. His slow turnaround begins when he calls Dan Duggan, his Davidson College classmate and his roommate in law school at the University of Virginia, for help. Duggan helps him through the health insurance situation and then, at the end of the book, plays a key role in Kevin’s counter-scam to punish Caleb’s colleagues and deny them the fruits of their evil deeds. The author of this clever story, Martin Clark, lives on a farm near Stuart, Virginia, just above the North Carolina line and has written four previous best-selling novels. He recently retired as a Virginia circuit court judge, giving him, we can hope, time to write more “thinking man’s” thrillers. Clark will appear at UNC School of Law’s Festival of Legal Learning on Friday, Feb 7, at 8 a.m. at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill.

When a lawyer’s life collapses, it can fall hard and the devastation can be horrendous. Kevin Moore is in this sort of situation. The complications that cause his misery should be a warning to other lawyers. But such things make for good stories. His sad situation becomes the basis for Clark’s enticing book. Moore was an admired and successful lawyer in Roanoke. He was deeply devoted to his wife, but then briefly fell into a short fling of infidelity, drug use, and association with drug dealers. His first ever. The results: disbarment and probation. His wife has given up and left him. Hoping

miles away. He and his wife took their family to church. He was a man who chose to teach by example. Mr. Bryson would assess a situation with his students long before talking, often taking the time to process the scene. With teenagers, that is probably a wise move. On more than one occasion, Mr. Bryson would shake his head, grin, and say nothing at all. I remember most vividly Mr. Bryson’s mannerisms. His bangs were a bit heavy, and he often brushed them out of his face with his hand. He always wore
a button-down shirt, tie, V-neck sweater, and slacks. Most teachers dressed slightly more casually, with only a handful of teachers still wearing suits. Farwell, Mr. Bryson. We wish you well and remember fondly our days with you at good ole’ KM High. May the road rise-up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Mountaineer nation mourns death of Donnie Mace Donnie Mace, who died over the Christmas holidays and was laid to rest Saturday, will be missed by everyone associated with Kings Mountain High School football. For well over 32 years, Mace gave freely of his time and talents to the Mountaineer coaches and players as equipment manager, sideline manager, videographer and any other thing needed. He would be seen at every practice and game. On the afternoon of the Mountaineers’ final regular season game at Crest in November, he went through pre-op for foot surgery scheduled for the following Monday in Charlotte. The surgery was successful but other complications arose after he was discharged and he would not get to see another Mountaineer game. Mace’s contribution to the program was evident to all the fans that came to practice sessions during the hot summer months and during the season. He would be on a golf cart, keeping an eye on both
the JV and varsity teams in case his services were needed. He loved talking to the fans and sharing his thoughts on the upcoming season. He would go to games hours before kickoff, taking sideline equipment and other essentials, and would be there long after the completion to return it to KMHS. He would search every area of the sideline to make sure everything that was taken – as well as any equipment forgotten by photographers and others working the game – got back to the school. He loved all of his time with the team, but without a doubt his favorite seasons were the four prior to the most recent when his grandson, Christopher Brittian, was one of the team’s top pass receivers and fastest runners. But, Mace was also supportive of all the other players. No doubt, someone will step up and take over Mace’s duties but it will be difficult for the coaches to find someone who will re-
Donnie Mace was a familiar face on Mountaineer sidelines for over 30 years. main for 30 years. “Donnie was extremely important to our program,” said Mountaineer head
coach Greg Lloyd. “We got to see him every day. It’s been a pleasure to know him and work with him.
“He did a lot of hard work for our program. He was a very selfless person. He would do whatever he
was asked to help the team. He will be sorely missed. He was a unique person who gave a lot of himself.”
Camp Coach Rhodes sends Mountaineers to Belk Bowl Fifty Kings Mountain High football players and coaches will be at Bank of America Stadium today for the Belk Bowl football game featuring Virginia Tech and the Kentucky Wildcats. KMHS graduate Keith Rhodes and his Camp Coach Rhodes non-profit organization in Shelby has donated 50 field level seats in appreciation of the Mountaineers’ recently-completed football season that ended with a seven-overtime loss to state champion Charlotte Catholic. “It was just a remarkable season,” noted Coach Rhodes, a 1993 KMHS grad. “I don’t know the history of football but to play seven overtimes has to be historical. I thought the team did a great job all year and I just wanted to reward them for it. I talked to my board and we decided to honor the players and coaches this
way and hopefully get them excited and they can someday get experience at the collegiate, and perhaps even the pro level.” This is not the first time Camp Coach Rhodes has honored county students for their accomplishments. In the past they have purchased over 1,200 tickets to Hornets and Panthers games as well as other activities. “We’ve been doing this for 13 years, and being a graduate of Kings Mountain High School myself I wanted to do this for them,” he said. “We were established in 2006 and started with basketball camps and tournaments and basketball development. More importantly, we provide education, motivation and encouragement.” Camp Coach Rhodes also provides support to needy students, providing such things as book bags, school
supplies, haircuts, horseback rides for children, etc. “A lot of things we’ve done have been under the radar,” he said. “The whole idea behind Camp Coach Rhodes is for kids to experience things and how it could change their mindset and create opportunities for them. We encourage them to keep working hard. “We’re just interested in giving back to kids,” he said. “When I was in school we had a village of people that supported us. So anything I can do can hopefully be a change for the better.” Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd said seeing a bowl game as a group will be great for the team. “It’s such a nice thing for him and his organization to do,” he said. “It’s so kind. The kids are looking forward to it. It will be a great experience for them.”

KM ladies drop KM to resume Big South play close one to ER Kings Mountain High’s girls basketball team fell to East Rutherford 55-49 in a non-conference game Friday at Parker Gym. With the return of Saniya Wilson, who was injured and did not play in an earlier 49-34 loss at East Rutherford, the Lady Mountaineers made a much closer game of it. A late third and early fourth quarter run by the Lady Cavaliers put KM into a 10-point deficit they could not recover from. Wilson, who is getting closer to a hundred percent, led all scorers with 25 points and also had four assists and four rebounds. Khalia King added 11
points and three boards, Kennedy Barnes 11 points and six boards, Monica Head two points and two rebounds, and Tyasya Bell six rebounds. Jaylyn Twitty and Jasmine Twitty led East with 19 and 12 points, respectively. Amarie Price scored nine and Destiny Hicks eight.

Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams are scheduled to get back into regular season action this week after hosting their annual Christmas tournament last week at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The Mountaineers resume Big South 3A Conference play Friday at Hunter Huss and will come back home on January 6 to host county rival Burns in a non-conference game. They go to Ashbrook for another BSC game on January 7 and host Shelby in a non-conference battle on January 10. The Mountaineers did not do well in their own tournament, losing their first two games to Gaston Day 53-52 and Mallard Creek 67-59. Because of
an early press deadline for the Herald, results of the Mountaineers’ final game were not available. The Mountaineers missed two free throws with less than a second to play and fell to Gaston Day 53-52 in the final game of the opening round Thursday night. The Mountaineers held the lead until midway of the third period but it changed hands numerous times the rest of the game. KM placed three players in double figures with sophomore Isaiah Tate leading the way with 19. Matt Toms scored 11 and Kobe Paysour 10. Chris Britt led the Spartans with 19 points.

Monitoring Solutions for Loved Ones with Dementia Dear Savvy Senior, My husband, who lives at home, has dementia and I worry about him wandering off and not being able to get back. Can you recommend some monitoring technology devices or any other solutions that can help me keep tabs on him? Exhausted Spouse Dear Exhausted, This is a concern for millions of Americans caring for a loved one with dementia at home. About 60 percent of people who suffer from dementia wander at some point, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. For caregivers, this can be frightening because many of those who wander off end up confused and lost, even in their own neighborhood, and are unable to communicate who they are or where they live. Here are some product and service solutions that may help. Simple Solutions For starters, there are a number of simple home modifications you can do to keep your husband from wandering away. Some solutions include adding an extra lock on the top or bottom of the exterior doors out of the line of sight or installing
door alarms on the exterior doors that let you know when they’re opened. See AlzStore.com for a variety of product solutions. And, be sure you hide the car keys to keep him from driving. You should also alert your neighbors that your husband may wander so they can keep an eye out and have a recent picture of him on hand to show around the neighborhood or to the police if he does get lost. Monitoring Technology For high-tech solutions, there are a variety of wearable GPS tracking devices available today that can help you keep tabs on him. Some top options to consider include AngelSense (AngelSense. com), which can be attached to clothing or worn around the waist; wristwatches like the Theora Connect (TheoraCare.com) or NurtureWatch (NurtureWatch.com); and the GPS SmartSole (GPSSmartSole.com), which is a shoe insole tracker. All of these products come with smartphone apps that would alert you if your husband were to wander beyond a pre-established safe area and would let you know where to find him if he did. These products (except the GPS
SmartSole) also provide two-way voice communication and auto pickup speakerphone so you can talk to him if he does wander off.
tals app network community that came within 80 feet of him would receive an alert and information about him so they could contact you.
Locating Services If the previously listed options don’t work for you, there are also locating services – like the MedicAlert + Safe Return program (MedicAlert.org/alz) and Vitals Aware Services (TheVitalsApp. com) – that can help you if he does wander off.
Another option that could help, depending on where you live, is a radio frequency locater service like SafetyNet and Project Lifesaver, which are offered by some local law enforcement agencies.
The MedicAlert + Safe Return program comes with a personalized ID bracelet that would have your husband’s medical information engraved on it, along with his membership number and the tollfree MedicAlert emergency phone number. If he goes missing, you would call 911 and report it to the local police department who would begin a search, and then report it to MedicAlert. Or, a Good Samaritan or police officer may find him and call the MedicAlert number to get him back home. The Vitals Aware Service works a bit differently. This is a free app-based network system that comes with a small beacon that your husband would wear. If he did go missing, anyone in the Vi-
With these services, your husband would wear a wristband that contains a radio transmitter that emits tracking signals. If he goes missing, you would contact the local authorities who would send out rescue personnel who will use their tracking equipment to locate him. Visit SafetyNetTracking.com and Projectlifesaver.org to see if these services are available in your community. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

OUTDOOR TRUTHS Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ By Gary Miller As I have written many times before, when one is in a tree stand, he notices Gary Miller the most intricate things. For ours on end a deer hunter is looking at the same view. He can only see so far in each direction. It never changes. So, within his parameters he must learn to look beyond what he would normally see and fi nd intrigue in minutia. These exercises remind me of days in a classroom when
we were given a narrow subject and had to write a paper on it. The only way I could ever achieve the word count was if I used every fl owery adverb and adjective I knew. There is just so much you can say about a stapler or a candle. The same thing goes for when one is in a tree stand. After a while you quit looking at the tree and start counting the leaves. What I have noticed however, is how everything changes as the sun changes locations. When it first rises it casts long shadows and illuminates only the east facing boundary. As it goes higher the shadows get shorter and its light encompasses nearly everything. As it sets, another part of nature
is revealed in a different and clearer way, and the long shadows return facing the opposite direction. The placement of the sun really does bring out different aspects of the same view. I’ve noticed that people are this way too. We are so different, and we look at things differently as well. Many of our differences cannot be explained by saying one is right and the other is wrong but instead by simply understanding that each of us sees things from a different perspective. I dare say the world each of us lives in would be a lot friendlier if we recognized this. A perfect
example is in our government. When someone writes, “I don’t know how someone can be a Christian and be a republican,” and someone else writes, “I don’t know how someone can be a Christian and be a democrat;” a light should go off that both are simply seeing things from a different point of view. This doesn’t mean there are not some things that are right or wrong, but it does mean that somethings are based on how God built us and how our environment infl uenced our perspective. The Bible is not silent on this as well. Paul informed the Roman
Christians about this when he wrote; “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or
fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.” (Rom 14:1-4 NLT) There really are no two people who see everything the same. We all get our views from a host of infl uences. They make each of us unique. But we can only be unique if we have others around us to reveal the differences. In other words, we need others to make us special. All of us do. And that means that while we may disagree on some things, what brings us together is more important than what has the potential to separate us. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

Pharr announces sale of its textile operations Pharr, a diversified provider of differentiated textile products and assorted real estate businesses, has reached agreements with Coats Group plc (Coats) to purchase Pharr High Performance, yarn supplier for the protective apparel industry; and Mannington Mills (Mannington) to purchase Pharr Fibers & Yarns and Phenix Flooring, suppliers of yarns, residential carpet and specialty flooring products. The acquisitions are expected to close in early 2020. “Throughout its 80-year history, Pharr’s spirt of innovation and willingness to adapt to change have allowed the company to evolve and succeed,” said Bill Carstarphen, Pharr president and chief executive officer. “These transactions reflect the next step in that evolution and will deliver great benefit to our customers, associates and communities. We know each of these groups will benefit tremendously from both Coats and Mannington and expect these transactions will result in a broad range of future opportunities and growth for our associates.” Founded in 1939, Pharr is a closely held, privately-owned company based in McAdenville and comprised of five companies with total employment of 1,200. Pharr High Performance manufactures yarns primar-
ily for the protective apparel industry in North America and globally, providing technical yarn solutions to the Military, Fire Service and Industrial Thermal Protection industries. Pharr Fibers & Yarns manufacturers fibers and yarns for the carpet industry in North America and globally. Phenix Flooring manufactures and sells residential carpet to large retailers and specialty flooring retailers in the U.S., and also sells luxury vinyl tile and commercial carpet tiles and broadloom. Coats, the world’s leading industrial thread company, is a publicly traded manufacturer with operations in 50 countries and a workforce of more than 18,000. The company was founded more than 250 years ago and has its headquarters in London. Mannington Mills is a manufacturer of residential and commercial sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl, laminate, resilient and hardwood floors; as well as commercial carpet and rubber. The company, privately held and owned by the Campbell family, is based in Salem, NJ and was founded in 1915. “As a result of these transactions, each of these Pharr businesses will become part of much larger operations with greater capacity, resources and reach.” Carstarphen said.
“We sought leaders in their industries with proven track records, and who understood and respected what we had built. Coats and Mannington emerged as ideal partners in all regards.” Carstarphen said both companies plan to retain Pharr’s workforce and continue operations at its manufacturing facilities in McAdenville, NC and Dal-
ton, Ga. With the addition of Pharr High Performance, Coats will have six North Carolina manufacturing sites located in McAdenville, Kings Mountain, Marion and Hendersonville as well as its corporate office in Charlotte. The acquisitions of Pharr Fibers & Yarns and Phenix Flooring will help establish Mannington as one of the largest suppliers in the floor
covering industry, participating in both residential and commercial hard and soft surface categories. The acquisitions will not affect Pharr’s two remaining divisions: Belmont Land & Investment Company, developer of residential and commercial real estate and hotels; and Strand Hospitality Services, which manages a portfolio of hotel properties
throughout the Southeast. “Pharr will continue growing and diversifying our real estate holdings while exploring new companies to invest in and operate,” Carstarphen said. “And our company will maintain a strong presence in Gaston County, investing back into the community as we always have.”
