New owners for Big Red’s Café By Loretta Cozart On Saturday, October 3, Michael and Nakisha Wenzel took over as the new owners of Big Red’s Café. The couple moved to Kings Mountain a year ago to pastor and restart Kings City Church. In their spare time, they enjoyed visiting the coffee shop. Former owners Sandie Dee and Ashley Herndon recently decided to sell the business and looked for someone to acquire the cafe.
Over the last year, Michael and Nakisha had become regulars and that is how the conversation began. The new owners have kept the same staff and trained in the café for a month in preparation for a smooth transition. Kings City Church was designed with a coffee shop and community can rent the space for special events. Michael has experience in catering and came to Kings Mountain from Lockheed See BIG RED’S, Page 11

Over 3 months ago, I was approached by some of my staff about doing something special for breast cancer awareness in October. They knew that I am breast cancer survivor and some of them have had family members that have had it in the past as well.
My staff came up with the idea of getting pink polo shirts to wear some during the month to stand and support all of those who have fought and those who continue to fight this devastating disease. The staff did this on a voluntarily basis and those that want to participate were allowed to do so. I was diagnosed in 2009 with Triple negative Breast cancer with a growth rate

Land near Sara Lee Road, just off Canterbury Road at I-85, was annexed into Kings Mountain during the September 29 city council meeting.

forward on projects. He explained that the city delayed some expenditures due to the financial uncertainty the Coronavirus brought. “We aren’t 100% back to normal, but I am comfortable in moving forward with the purchase of a new garbage truck,” Costner said. “Our oldest garbage truck is 18years old and it constantly needs costly repairs. It just needs to be replaced.” Conner also reported that the auditors visited last month, and that the city’s fund balance remains at 51%, the same as last year. He also noted that he intends to have no findings, no issues, and no audit adjustments when their audit is received. Mayor Neisler added, “We are in the best shape (financially) of any city in the state of North Carolina.” Four Public Hearings were scheduled for Tuesday, October 27 at 6 pm to: • Consider a request from Brinkley Properties of KM, owner of 600 W.

Portions of the property were in both Cleveland County and Gaston Counties, making the parcels hard to sell due to the tricky tax situation that created for the owner.

By the grace of God, and an amazing team of dedicated doctors and nurses that He put together, I am alive to share the hope that lives in me with others.

ATLANTA, GA – After 89 years of spirited and productive living, Charlotte Oriela Jenkins passed away peacefully in her Atlanta, GA home on September 27, 2020. Charlotte was born on October 25, 1930 to the late Andrew Campbell Jenkins and Fannie Sue White Jenkins in Mecklenburg County, NC. After graduating from Catawba College with a double major in English and Sociology, Charlotte relocated to New Orleans, LA to pursue and complete her Masters of Social Work at Tulane University. Her career started when Charlotte accepted a psychiatric social worker position in Tulane’s Department of Child Psychiatry; next she worked at Charity Hospital’s neuropsychiatric unit. She built a successful private practice in New Orleans, providing casework services in individual, group and family therapy. In 1970, Charlotte left New Orleans for Atlanta, GA to work for the Child Services and Family Counseling department at the Florence Crittenden Home in a very intense senior social worker position. She was promoted several times to administrative positions until retiring after 30 years in her profession. Always a life-long learner, Charlotte took classes to develop her artistic talents in pottery, stained glass, upholstery, hat making, beading, jewelry making, lapidary and photography. Charlotte described herself as a “perennial sophomore” focusing mainly on her passion for crafts. One of her main joys was gardening and she worked diligently to earn her Master Gardener credentials. After retiring from a successful career in social work, Charlotte started her own flower arranging business called “Charlotte’s Petals” and accepted a part-time position as executive floral designer at the Georgia governor’s mansion under Joe Frank Harris. Later in life Charlotte became a student of the internet and took classes to learn how to combine her artistic skills with computer skills and she created amazing slide shows!
Her zest for life was matched by her strong values, exceptional intelligence, unrelenting compassion, abundant determination and endless energy. She had close friends from every walk of life that she enjoyed and who loved and adored and enjoyed her right back. Charlotte could be the poster child for “to have a friend you have to be a friend.” She will be sorely missed but truly appreciated for making the world a better and more beautiful place. A graveside service was held on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at Mountain Rest Cemetery in Kings Mountain, NC with Nick Danna officiating. The family spoke with friends immediately following the service at the cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Charlotte requested donations to the “Charlotte O. Jenkins Scholarship Endowed Fund” which will be used for students with financial need in the School of Social Work at Tulane. Donations may be mailed to: Debbie Marx, Executive Director of Gift Planning Tulane University, Office of Development, 1555 Poydras Street, Suite 1000 New Orleans, LA 70112.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends? –Abraham Lincoln
Pieces of Kings Mountain History
Wednesday, October 7, marks the 240th anniversary of the Battle LORETTA of Kings COZART Mountain. I attended Kings Mountain City Schools from 1966 to 1978 and throughout my education we studied the Battle of Kings Mountain every year. Many of my teachers were from the area and descended from the patriots who participated in the battle. Our teachers were passionate about sharing this story with us and I thought all North and South Carolina students were taught the same information. Our family and neighbors always referred the Kings Mountain National Military Park as the Battleground. Signs referred to it as such and the road we drove to get there had the same name. To us, we will always refer to it as the Battleground. Mom began taking us there when I was five, as best as I remember. We walked the 1.5 mile loop, which was then just a narrow foot path. I remember the sound
of leaves underfoot. We stopped at each marker and read them aloud. In the area of the spring, we would crouch behind trees pretending we were being fired upon. Mom had us look for shot in the bark of trees. It kept us busy and made the experience real for us. When I went to college at Chapel Hill, I learned that most of my peers were ignorant about this pivotal Revolutionary War battle. In fact, many had never even heard of it. I was shocked! More disappointing was that the textbook used by the university to teach NC history relegated the story to one brief paragraph. It was a sad and disappointing realization that those who claimed to know North Carolina history didn’t have a clue about this battle. When I was engaged to a fellow UNC student, I took him to visit the battleground. Six years later, I walked the park while pregnant with my first child. And as my children grew-up, we took them to the battleground many times and shared our family history regarding this place.
As my daughters studied NC history in public school, I learned that their textbooks told a very different story of the battle than I was taught. The story shared in their textbooks said after the battle ended, the patriots massacred the men who surrendered. I was appalled by what a read and wrote the Textbooks Division of the NC Department of Public Instruction and shared my thoughts. In their reply, they said they would take my letter under advisement when the next revision of the book occurred… in 10 years. Through a lifetime of studying the Battle of Kings Mountain, I have learned that the hour and five-minute battle was the result of years of incidents leading up to it. British, Scots-Irish, Germans, Cherokees, Whigs, Tories, and Catawbas were involved. Thousands of families, men, women, and children were involved. More men died during the battle and subsequent to it than we know and many of their remains are buried somewhere near the battlefield. Nobody
Looking Back
In 1997, Lib Stewart wrote about the yards and gardens of Berdie and Bill Suber of North City Street. Pictured with them is their dog Muffin. The couple moved to the Pauline Mill Village in 1957. In those days, their yard was nothing but dirt according to the couple. Over time, they built a rock garden and waterfall and terraced off one end of their property. They planted hundreds of bulbs , thirty-five dogwoods, tulip trees, and red and pink azaleas. The couple had a 29-years old philodendron on their patio where they enjoyed visiting with friends. The couple had two children, Bill Suber, Jr. and Sherry Cochrane, and a two-year old grandson named Stephen Cochrane.

knows exactly where. It is a place of reverence and respect. If you don’t want this pivotal part of our history lost, take time to learn about this battle with your family. We can’t leave the education of our children to textbooks. Take your children and grandchil-
dren to the battleground and bring this story to life for them. It is one thing to read about it and entirely another to walk that hallowed ground. Your family won’t forget going there with you or that you took the time to teach them this important lesson in our nation’s history.
I’ll never forget that cool fall day, crouching behind trees near the spring with my mother and siblings. And I’ll never forget the effort my mother took to make this history real for me. Now it is my turn to take up the mantle again and teach this history to my own grandchildren.
Presidential debate or wrestling match? We must have better than this September 29, 2020, was just another bad day in 2020. We thought that with Covid-19, unemployment, and riots in the streets of America’s cities it could not get worse. It did. Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Chris Wallace gave us a “show” we will never forget. Our leaders used to make us proud. We grew up wanting to emulate people in high places who inspired us with their remarkable lives. We watched how they conducted themselves, communicated and chose their words wisely with dignity, diplomacy and grace. This doesn’t happen any more in America. Tuesday’s debate was just another plummeting example of how badly and poorly people can act in America. Biden and Trump are supposed to be our two best men running for the highest office in America. Chis Wallace works for one of the biggest networks in the world. Instead we saw a production of America’s scariest video, ‘Hee-Haw’ gone crazy, or big-time wrestling, COVID19 style. We’ve been on this track now for too long. The debates have gotten worse and worse. They have been more and more out of control. They have turned into 90 minutes of rudeness,

name calling, hollering and mud throwing. Our children are watching and learnGlenn Mollette ing. Guest Editorial Where did we lose civility in our nation? Did we ever have it? Is this just the way America has always been at heart and now we feel free to be who we really are? Rude, crude and ignorant? ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’ had far more class than we saw Tuesday night. They may have been uncouth and backward but they didn’t treat people badly. We’ve become scary in how we talk to, and treat, others in this country, starting with our national leadership and media. We have a nation of people who are quick to give you the middle finger on the highway, honk their horns at you on the road until you get out of their way and knock you down on the sidewalk rather than scoot over and give you some space to walk by. Today, in America, we are name callers. We feel entitled to everything everyone else has without working for it. We expect to be treated with respect and dignity while we act like buffoons. Words and phrases such as “please”,

“thank you”, “excuse me”, “may I”, “yes ma’am” and “yes sir,” have been tossed out of too many windows. Therefore, we are now reaping what we sowed. People feel like they have the right to treat others badly because of color or background, while others feel entitled to destroy and burn down our cities from Baltimore to Portland. We have a nation of people who believe they can do anything they want regardless of how others might be affected. This is one reason we can’t defund the police. However, some of the procedures of the police must be revamped. Be warned, another debate is coming soon. Candidates should be allowed one- and two-minute response times to questions and to respond to statements. At these one- and two-minute intervals the microphone should automatically be silenced so the next candidate can fairly respond with the same time limits. There has to be a fair, civil way to conduct and present a Presidential debate. We need to see and hear one. We are desperate to get this nation back together, one people, under God, united, with liberty and justice for all. We have to see some of this in this next debate and it has to come from the moderator, President Trump, and former Vice President Biden.

hosts virtual Paying tribute to patriots at KM Library Read Local Book Fair By Jim Champion
An historical landmark is approaching as the Carolinas look forward to the 240th anniversary of the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain. It was on October 7, 1780 that a fierce and determined band of Patriot fighters took on a larger, well-trained force of Loyalists on the mountain near the state line of the Carolinas and won what historians call the turning point of the American Revolution. The cast, crew and company of Liberty Mountain: The Revolutionary Drama are drawing attention to this year’s commemoration as they prepare for the stage drama based on the battle at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain, next summer. It will be the production’s 7th season after the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 performances. “This is a story every American, young and old, must know,” says Robert Inman, the author of the play. “If those sturdy Patriots hadn’t won that battle, we today might be singing, ‘God Save the Queen.’ We owe our freedoms as Americans to those brave men and the women who supported them and sent them off to battle.” The Liberty Mountain company is appealing for

We need for businesses and individuals throughout the area to get involved and to help us prepare. We also encourage you to participate in all the virtual programs about our region’s unique Revolu-
tionary War history, being kept alive by many great organizations.” Liberty Mountain is a production of Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Inc., a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit. Gilbert and Jancy Patrick are the Presenting Sponsor. Further details about our drama can be found online at www. libertymountaindrama.com. Requests for information about 2021 volunteer and sponsorship opportunities should be sent to jim@kmlt. org, KMLT/Liberty Mountain Drama, PO Box 1022, Kings Mountain, NC 28086, or you may call the Joy Performance Center at 704-7309408. The anniversary of the battle is traditionally marked
with a large public gathering at Kings Mountain National Military Park, complete with members of the Sons of the American Revolution in authentic uniforms. Like so much else, this year’s public celebration had to be cancelled. But the military park and the SAR have arranged for a virtual commemoration at the monument. It can be viewed beginning at 10 am on Wednesday, October 7 by logging on to https://us02web.zoom. us/j/81700673468. The men in their colorful uniforms will be there, along with the spirits of the Patriots who took up arms and helped secure the America we enjoy today.
Mauney Memorial Library hosts a virtual Read Local Book Fair from 9 am to 5 pm on October 12. Local authors share in their own words about their works and the thought that went into their books. Links will be provided to support our local authors on the library’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ mauneylibrary. “This year's Read Local Book Fair was originally scheduled to be held at the Patrick Senior Center but was cancelled due to COVID. The library has successfully transitioned programming to virtual, so we decided to go online with this event, as well. Many of our authors were willing to participate by recording short videos about themselves and their works,” said Library Assistant Terry Bivens. Here is the list of authors participating in this year's virtual book fair. More author submissions are expected as the registration deadline has been extended to October 6.

■ MEDITATION
Hope in the Lord! I want to give you hope for today and the future. Merriam Webster defines hope as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to come; a wish or strong desire.” While this may broadly define the word itself, hope means more (or should) to those who are in Christ. With this in mind, I want to share why we can have hope despite our circumstances. For the believer, hope and faith go together. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us, “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hope is more than just
N o doubt, these are difficult d a y s . Civil unrest, national and internaDr. Jonathan tional fiM. Bundon nancial Worship Pastor hardFirst Baptist ships, Kings Mountain physi c a l , mental, and spiritual sickness abound. We live in a time where people need hope more than ever, and we live in a time where hope is in short supply. Good news!
wishful thinking or a lucky charm. Hope in Christ is the belief and assurance that God is in control, can restore, and heal not only in the present, but the age to come. My hope that God cares and is in control is much different from me, hoping the Tennessee Volunteers will win more than one football game this season. Why? The Vols frequently let me down, but God never has and never will. The Vols are comprised of imperfect humans who make mistakes, get sick and injured, have finite strength, and do not know who I am. By comparison,
The Lord God Almighty is perfect in every way. God cares for me and never takes a sick day. I cannot promise this life will be fantastic for you, but I can promise God will be with you. Songs speak to the human heart in a way few things, if anything else, can. I love the lines of The Solid Rock, “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus name. On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” What are you putting your hope in? Finances? Sand. Politicians? Sand. Health? Sand. Tennessee Vols? Quicksand. Put your hope in
the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ. In the month of October, we will explore what hope in God means and how we can live it out every day. “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40: 28-31

BLAST FROM THE PAST
KMHS basketball over 100 years old, football should turn 100 in year ‘22 Had the pandemic not come along, Kings Mountain High School would be playing its 98th season of football right now. Hopefully, the season will be played in early 2021 with an abbreviated seven-game regular season and a fourround state playoff. It is assumed, if that happens, the players would hit the field again in the fall of ’21 but that, too, could depend on the pandemic and/or decision from the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. The first Mountaineer football team in 1922 did not even have a coach. Uniforms were hand-me-downs from Trinity College (now Duke) and their shoes were Boy Scout shoes to which a local cobbler attached rubber cleats for 50 cents a pair. Of course, none of the original Mountaineers are still with us but in earlier years players recalled the beginning in stories in The Herald. It all began when a few players from Davidson College came to Central School to talk to the high school boys about organizing a football team. Eighteen youngsters agreed to play. They didn’t have a coach. Two local doctors, Dr. Hood and Dr. Norman, agreed to coach and others around town helped out. Later in the year, Fred Ormand took over as coach. Although none of the original Mountaineers, when interviewed by The Herald later in life, remembered the team’s record it is believed to have been 3-2-1. Of the information recalled by players and reported in The Herald, the Mountaineers lost to Lincolnton 12-0 in their first-ever contest, tied Gastonia 0-0, beat Cowpens on a forfeit, shutout Mt. Holly 19-0, lost to Charlotte 25-0 and defeated the KM All-Stars 35-0. Some of the game results were reported to The Herald, and others were not with a small blurb saying “The Kings Mountain boys played football Friday.” In a Herald story in 1949, it was reported that Charlie Saunders ran a 60-yard touchdown against Mount Holly, Forrest Houser caught a touchdown pass from Hoyt
Kings Mountain High School’s first football team in 1922. Front row, left to right, Joe Lee Woodward, Herman Hayes, Hoyt Matthews, Tom Fulton and Jake Hord. Second row Forrest Houser (standing), Howard Pursley, Lloyd Ormand, Tom Saunders, Hoyle McGinnis and Charlie Saunders (standing). Back row Clemonsee Boone, J.M. McGinnis, Plato Goforth, Odell McGinnis, Fred Plonk, Royce Green and Lawrence Lovell. Standing in back is Supt. J.Y. Irvin. Mathews, and Lawrence Lovell scored on a “double pass” from J.M. McGinnis. The forfeit win over Cowpens came as a result of the Cowpens team getting upset with an official’s call and walking off the field. The Mountaineers - you never heard or read about them referred to as Mounties during that time - were leading 7-0. The late Joe Lee Woodward, in a 1974 feature story in the Kings Mountain Mirror-Herald, told editor Gary Stewart that the first football game he ever saw, he played in against Lincolnton. “They beat us on two endaround runs,” he noted. Woodward said the Mountaineers ran a “box formation” and the center snapped the ball directly to the player that was going to run it. Passing was almost non-existent at the time because footballs were almost round, Woodward noted. “The ball was big and bulky and we always played with one ball until it wore out.”
Teams traveled to games in cars. One of the original Mountaineers, Plato Goforth, was in the eighth grade. In his final year, 1926, the Mountaineers finished undefeated but did have four ties. The teams played their home games near Deal Street on a field at the current site of Bridges Auto Parts. He remembered that some fans would give a player that scored a quarter, and he caught five touchdown passes in a game against Mt. Holly. Members of the original team included Joe Lee Woodward, Herman Hayes, Hoyt Matthews, Tom Fulton, Jake Hord, Forrest Houser, Howard Pursley, Lloyd Ormand, Tom Saunders, Hoyle McDaniel, Charlie Saunders, Clemonsee Boone, J.M. McGinnis, Plato Goforth, Odell McGinnis, Fred Plonk, Royce Green and Lawrence Lovell. Pursley, who played baseball at KMHS beginning in 1918, said he thought the Mountaineers were playing
baseball as early as 1912 when he moved to town from South Carolina. Pursley was playing baseball in KM when the rivalry with Shelby began around 1921. He said it came about during a baseball series between Neisler Mills and a mill from Shelby. He recalled that just about every textile mill and many communities in all the area towns had baseball teams and they’d play about three games a week. It was a highly competitive league that drew a lot of fans. Pursley was a highly-recruited pitcher but chose not to go to college or the pros. Some other outstanding players here during those years included Coman Falls, Red Layton, Arthur Hord, Ormand and catcher Jake Early. Early spent 10 seasons in the major leagues and caught the entire 1943 All-Star game for the American League. Grover also produced some great baseball players during that time including
John Gold, Jim Blalock, Bub Keeter, Al Crisp, Buck Shuford, George Royster and Wayne Conner. Kings Mountain chose an all-star team which fell to Grover in the post-season. Players included Red Layton, Humphries and Carl Moss of the Margrace, Cornwell, Coman Falls and Skimp Stowe of the Stags, Morrison of the Bonnie, Cole of Pauline and Hunter and Hayes of Mauney. Pursley recalled that the Mountaineers played basketball on an old dirt court near St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church. In the thirties basketball was played on the stage at Central School. Woodward was a 6-3 eighth grader in 1922 and was the tallest player on the team. Of course, he was a forward. He played tackle and quarterback in football and first base in baseball. All games, especially basketball, has changed tremendously since then both in style of play and rules.
“Back then,” Woodward recalled in a 1974 article in The Herald, “after a basket the ball was taken back to center court for a jump. No players except the centers were allowed at center court. The other players went to the four corners of the court and the center would give a signal to let us know who he was going to tip the ball to. “The guards were called chewing gum guards,” he said. “They stayed with their forwards all the time. Because of that Ed Lovell coached his forwards to run in circles so we’d have a step on the guard when the ball was tipped.” As for fouls, he said, one could put his hands up in front of their man to keep him from getting a shot at the basket but you couldn’t hack him. “Play was rough,” he noted, “but I don’t remember ever fouling out. “Uniforms were usually cut off pants. Goals were home made and didn’t have baskets on them. Goals were made at a machine shop.”

Governor Cooper moves NC to Phase 3 North C a r o lina will ease cautiously some restrictions w h i l e c o n t i n u - GOVERNOR COOPER ing safety measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 as the state’s metrics remained stable in September, Governor Roy Cooper announced today. “Our top priority remains getting children back to in-person learning. This month marks a major shift for many families now and in the coming months as schools open their doors, some for the first time since the pandemic,” said Governor Cooper. “The virus continues to spread, so we must take the next steps methodically, and re-
sponsibly.” “We must continue our hard work to slow the spread of this virus,” said Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. “By practicing the 3Ws — wear, wait and wash, — getting your flu shot, and downloading the SlowCOVIDNC app, each of us can protect the progress we have made.” Dr. Cohen reviewed the state’s key metrics: • Trajectory in COVIDLike Illness (CLI) Surveillance Over 14 Days • North Carolina’s syndromic surveillance trend for COVID-like illness has a slight increase. • Trajectory of Confirmed Cases Over 14 Days • North Carolina’s trajectory of lab-confirmed cases is level. • Trajectory in Percent of Tests Returning Positive Over 14 Days
• North Carolina’s trajectory in percent of tests returning positive is level. • Trajectory in Hospitalizations Over 14 Days • North Carolina’s trajectory of hospitalizations is level. In addition to these metrics, the state continues building capacity to adequately respond to an increase in virus spread in testing, tracing and prevention. No-cost testing events are being deployed across the state and testing turnaround times are improving. New contact tracers are bolstering the efforts of local health departments. A new NCDHHS app, SlowCOVIDNC, is notifying users of exposure to the virus. Personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies are stable. As these metrics and
capacity remain stable, the state will ease some restrictions starting Friday. Executive Order 169 begins Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. and continues for three weeks through October 23. Its new provisions include: • Large outdoor venues with seating greater than 10,000 may operate with 7% occupancy for spectators. • Smaller outdoor entertainment venues, like arenas or amphitheaters, may operate outdoors at 30% of outdoor capacity, or 100 guests, whichever is less. • Movie theaters and conference centers may open indoor spaces to 30% of capacity, or 100 guests, whichever is less. • Bars may operate outdoors at 30% of outdoor capacity, or 100 guests, whichever is less. • Amusement parks may

This family enjoyed the Great Story Pumpkin Walk.
On October 1, 2020 the Cleveland County Health Department was notified of a fox that tested positive for rabies. This is the second rabid animal identified in the county this year. The animal was found at Morris Road, Kings Mountain, NC. Any person bitten or exposed to potentially infectious saliva from this fox should contact their healthcare provider or the local health department for a rabies risk assessment. You may contact the Cleveland County Health Department at 980-484-5169. Cleveland County Animal Services will be conducting a rabies vaccination canvass in the area. Rabies vaccinations and boosters are available for cats and dogs at the Animal Services center located at 1601 Airport Rd
Shelby, NC 28150 Monday – Friday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Rabies initial vaccines and boosters are $10 per pet. 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 Services. 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 Services Department at (704) 481-9884 or visit their website at www. clevelandcountypets.org/ contact-us and complete the Contact Us form.
