KM High School Seniors receive caps and gowns Kings Mountain High School distributed caps and gowns on Thursday, April 30. In addition, they gave every senior a yard sign and a poster with their senior class picture on it when they picked up their caps and gowns. Over 50 faculty, staff, and lined the bus lot driveway cheering on the seniors as 240 of them drove through during a 2.5-hour period. The school decorated the area with balloons and posters, and everyone wore KMHS shirts. Mountie pride was strong that day. The Kings Mountain Herald will publish our keepsake edition for seniors on June 5. Parents and the community can honor their 2020 KMHS graduate in that supplement, and local businesses

Signs of the times By Loretta Cozart As we approach the second month of North Carolina’s stay at home order, things in Kings Mountain have certainly changed. Restaurants are open for take-out or drive through service as dine in service is prohibited. Only essential businesses are allowed to operate and even those have restrictions on the number of people within their shops. Driving through town on May 1, the restaurants along Cleveland Avenue and York Road were busy at lunch time, with cars lined up into the roadway at Bojangles. Signs posted by business encourage customers to drive through or order via delivery services, like Doordash or Postmates. One of the most prominent signs as you drive South from Hwy. 74 toward King Street is one posted by the YMCA that reads, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” Psalms 56:3. Those are encouraging words during tough times. At the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and King Street, Hardee’s sign offers “Family Bundles, Drive Thru Open.” Further down Hwy. 161, Eastside Baptist Church in-

Kings Mountain YMCA sign provides encouraging words during this time. See more signs on page 7. Photo by Loretta Cozart vites congregants to “Join us for traditional worship” with Pastor Ron A. Caulder. The sign offers encouraging words to passers-by, “When fears arise, trust in God.” Just down the road, Taco Bell has a sign offering two drive through lanes with curbside service. That would certainly expedite wait time during peak business hours. Los Tarascos sign reads, “Now open all day. Daily special,” followed by their phone number encouraging call-in orders. It is obvious these restaurants are certainly hurting

and need the community’s support if they are to survive. The community often leans on these businesses to support sports teams, bands, and church groups. During COVID-19, these businesses now look to the community to support them. And even with all this uncertainty, both the new Starbucks and Burger King properties have made great strides toward completion of their facilities scheduled for later this year. On King Street, KFC has

Important Information from City of KM

Paying residential utility bills The City of Kings Mountain has important information for residential utility customers about paying their utility accounts. The City provides four utilities including electric, water, natural gas and sewer to citizens of Kings Mountain and utility customers in surrounding areas. As the COVID-19 crisis began impacting people, the City of Kings Mountain, and many other utility providers, suspended service disconnections and will continue to do so through May 31, 2020. The City of Kings Mountain reminds utility customers

that they are responsible for paying their utility bills incurred during this time. The City urges utility customers to continue making payments on their utility accounts to avoid accumulating large balances, even if they cannot pay their accounts in full. Utility account balances will not be forgiven – the payments are only being deferred at this time. Customers who are having trouble paying their utility bills in full should pay as much as they can each month. The City of Kings Mountain will work with residential utility customers, who have not been able to make payments, to develop payment

plans for their accounts. Utility customers will have six months – through November 30, 2020 – to pay their past due balances in full. The City will resume disconnecting service and charging processing and late fees on unpaid balances beginning June 1, 2020, unless a payment arrangement has been signed. Once a customer has signed a payment plan, their utility service will be subject to penalty and disconnection if the payment plan is not followed. To set up a payment plan or ask questions about your bill, please call the City of Kings Mountain’s billing department at 704-734-4616.

Pandemic relief legislation approved by North Carolina General Assembly The North Carolina General Assembly unanimously passed two Covid-19 response packages on Saturday, May 2, approving over $1.5 billion of funding relief for critical needs and extensive policy measures to help local communities address the crisis as the state safely reopens its economy. The compromise spending plan is a significant investment laying the groundwork for moving the state forward and responding to the economic and human impacts of this pandemic. This commitment goes above and beyond previous requests and includes funding for testing, tracing, immediate recovery needs, and increasing access to broadband and electronic devices to access remote learning opportunities. North Carolina leaders issued a joint bipartisan statement Saturday:

“This legislation puts North Carolina on the right path to recovery,” Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham), Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue (D-Wake), House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) and House Minority Leader Darren Jackson (D-Wake) said. “For weeks, our citizens have been anxious about their future because of this virus, and today we can assure them that action is being taken to allay their concerns.” The bill addresses both immediate needs, like purchasing personal protective equipment and expanding digital infrastructure needs, and long-term research and development to fight the virus. It supports testing for uninsured patients, rural and under-served communities, and behavioral health services. “This recovery and relief bill is the product of bipartisan collaboration to help North

Carolinians return to their daily lives,” Sens. Berger, Blue, Speaker Moore, and Rep. Jackson said. “Our citizens have stepped up to support each other during this unprecedented time, and now we must look ahead to getting everyone healthy and back to work safely.” House Bill 1043 Pandemic Response Act appropriates over $1.5 billion in relief funding for North Carolina’s medical providers, education communities, broadband connectivity. See below for a summary of select H.B. 1043 appropriations. Senate Bill 704 Covid-19 Recovery Act provides tax relief, streamlines unemployment access, and makes policy reforms in education, healthcare, and government operations to assist North Carolinians through the pandemic and

Mother’s Day Sunday, May 10

These Local Businesses Would Like To Wish Moms Everywhere a Very Special Mother’s Day!

Famous Quotes FOR MOTHER’S DAY M

other’s Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world. Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother’s Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother’s Day many people know today dates back a little more than a century, historians note that ancient Romans kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods. In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while. One of the traditions associated with the current Mother’s Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothers-in-law and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom’s gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who want to add a literary tilt to their Mother’s Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won’t soon forget.

• “All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” – Oscar Wilde, Irish poet • “If I was damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine.” – Rudyard Kipling, in his poem “Mother O’ Mine” • “The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always ﬁnd

forgiveness.” – Honoré de Balzac, French playwright • “The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.” – Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France • “The God to whom little boys say their prayers has a face very like their mothers’.” - James Matthew Barrie, Scottish author

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION

Being a Mother is not about what you gave up to have a child, but what you’ve gained from having one. – Unknown

Pieces of Kings Mountain History I often write about the history of Kings Mountain, but the topic of this LORETTA COZART week’s article is one of current events which will one day become part of our community’s history. The Coronavirus takes many column inches, often sharing the sad details of the loss of life and the economic downturn. But through it all, residents are trying to find ways to lift each other up despite these trying circumstances. The sign at the YMCA shares the sentiment of many, “Don’t forget to do good and share with those in need. Hebrews 13:16. On Tuesday, April 28, city council met, and Jay Rhodes lifted up Mayor Neisler and Tommy Hawkins in prayer. These two men have been through a lot in the last few months. With all the political infighting we witness each day on television, it was refreshing to see how our councilmembers support each other through hard times. Mike Butler asked everyone to remember our seniors at KMHS, since they won’t have a prom this year and graduation is in limbo, his voice wavering with emotion. At the high school on April 30, KMHS staff and volunteers distributed caps and gowns to seniors in a drive-thru fashion in the bus lot. Two-hundred and fifty seniors filed through collecting their ordered

caps and gowns. They were surprised with a yard sign that read, “Kings Mountain High School 2020 - Congratulations Seniors!” Looking at Gary Smart’s photos, it is easy to see everyone had a great time that day and those seniors will never forget they way they felt from other’s generosity. People are searching for ways to help with the Coronavirus. The community has been asked to sew masks and remember our senior citizens with food donations, first responders, and health care professionals. Every little bit helps. Last week I reported about Beverly Owens, a KMMS teacher who is making PPEs for first responders and nurses in Gastonia, Kings Mountain, and Shelby. The injector for her 3D printer got clogged and she opened a GoFundMe page and raised $400 to replace it. Owen’s story inspired me, so I created a GoFundMe page for my oldest daughter who is a COVID-19 nurse in California. Her ICU unit only treats Coronavirus patients and they are running short of PPEs and protective gowns and gloves. She has to wear a special forced air unit because standard masks are too big for her face. So I decided to raise funds for that and created the listing on Wednesday night. By Saturday at noon, a person outside GoFundMe heard my daughter’s story and donated the money for her PPE. He asked that

we continue to raise funds for a second mask to donate to her unit. So we did. My industrious sonin-law reached out to a distributor who agreed to sell them two of the needed PPEs for exactly the funds we had raised. So, we ended the fundraiser. It was a humbling experience. Saturday evening, my daughter sent me the following note to share with all those who donated. If you doubt your donations help anyone on the frontlines of this pandemic, read her words and hear how important this small act of kindness impacted her. Then go help someone. You’ll never forget how good you feel for the effort and never you’ll forget the words of Hebrews 13:16, “Don’t forget to do good and share with those in need.” She wrote, “Dear Everyone, thank you so very much! While I worked the past few nights, the donations for this campaign skyrocketed. Your support spread far and wide, and your generosity was immediately felt. Because of all of your contributions we were able to put not one but two PPEs on order for my COVID19 critical care unit. Wow, wow, wow!” “I cannot easily express just how moving your support is at this time. Because of your help, dozens of highly trained medical professionals will be able to continue to work tirelessly without fear. Certainly over the life of these machines, hundreds of professionals

Looking Back The Coronavirus pandemic has caused issues for many, ranging from shortages of toilet paper to a pending meat shortage projected for the summer. Kings Mountain has seen its share of hard times, especially during World War I. In 1917, the City of Kings Mountain was a small, tight knit community with a population of 2,800, having grown by 582 (20%) in less than a decade. By August, the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR chapter officially “decided to become the Auxiliary of the Kings Mountain Red Cross”. They agreed to “knit sweater sets, donate 2 jars of jelly per member as reserve hospital supply, (assemble) comfort bags for boys leaving from

Kings Mountain, and send (newspaper) clippings to the comfort committee for sailors.” In September, the chapter reported on their Red Cross work: “30 jars of jelly were collected, 2 knitted sweaters, mufflers, helmets, and wristlets were made, clippings were collected, and 350 Liberty Bonds were purchased”. In October, Bonnie Mauney and Daisy Carpenter were asked to “make a list of all of the Kings Mountain boys who had left for the Training Camps and put the list in the Red Cross work room.” Earlier that year, there was discussion as to “whether they should serve refreshments at the meeting; the food being so scarce and at such an

enormous price, since the World is at War.” The members decided to dispense with refreshments during wartime. Later in 1917, the United States enacted The Fuel and Food Control Act that was considered a major success since both the Homefront and Allies received more food. These were the days of “victory gardens,” “wheatless Wednesdays,” “meatless Tuesdays,” and “gasless Sundays,” encouraging those on the Homefront to support the war effort through personal sacrifice. Through it all, Kings Mountain weathered the storm of uncertainty and doubt with citizens doing their part to support the effort and take care of one another in the process.

My daughter, a frontline nurse in California. Photo provided will benefit. These machines will outlast this wave, as well as any coming waves of this virus for years to come. In the immediate future, it will be because of your help that nurses can remain steadfast at our patient’s bedsides in their greatest moments of need,” she explained. “Because of your support, nurses will be

able to confidently stay in COVID-19 rooms far longer than they could have otherwise to provide therapies, medications, and coordinate FaceTime calls to connect patients with their worried families. This gift allows our team not only to do our work, but to do our best work despite the circumstances. Thank you for gifting us the

peace of mind we need to operate at the height of our training,” she went on to share. “Thank you for gifting us the opportunity to rest assured that we are equipped to protect our own health, and the health of our families in the process.” One day we will discharge our last COVID-19 patient from our hospital (don’t we all look forward to that day?) because this pandemic will end. When we get there, we will look back on these days and reflect on how it all felt.” “I know many people consider us nurses as heroes. But just as much as we are heroes, so too is each person who stayed home, who made a mask, who reached out to help. If we nurses are heroes to some, then you are heroes to us. We will have you to thank for changing the way we could operate during the pandemic. It will be because of your contributions that we will have been able to act bravely and with confidence, rather than in fear. Thank you so very much. -- Kip and Loretta’s Daughter, a Frontline Nurse in California.”

who are at risk, to unemployment and a new era of poverty hitting out country, to people just going crazy over social distancing. The way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year is don’t forget. Don’t distance yourself from this celebration. Honor mom while you have her. Honor some other mothers too who have been special to you. When I was a child, I had $5 my dad gave me for being “brave” to have my tonsils removed. The only thing I wanted to do as a child was to take mom and dad to the local G.C. Murphy’s grill. We sat at the bar and we all had hotdogs and cokes that cost me about $3. My mom didn’t want me to spend my $5 but she smiled when I bought lunch that day as a 7-year-old kid. I would love to have mom back this Sunday and do anything that might make her smile. This Sunday, it could be the simplest thing but give it a try. Mom is worth the effort.

Cleveland Pines reports 12 cases of COVID-19 Cleveland Pines, a part of Atrium Health located at 1404 N. Lafayette Street in Shelby, reported 12 cases of Coronavirus according to the NC Department of Health and Human Services on May 1. Six residents and six staff members tested positive for the virus, and one resident died. According to Atrium’s website, Cleveland Pines offers “inpatient rehabilitation and recovery services, such as physical, occupational and speech therapy; short- and long-term healthcare; and end-of-life services that include emotional, spiritual and personal support.” A second facility, Atrium Rehabilitation Northeast, located in Cabarrus County reported 10 cases of COVID19, with 6 staff members and

four residents testing positive. One resident at that facility also died. In an effort to share more information about facilities with Coronavirus cases, on May 1, the NCDHHS shared, “In order to standardize reporting regarding COVID-19

outbreaks in congregate living settings, the NC Department of Health and Human Services will update this report two times per week that will include the names of facilities where there is an ongoing outbreak and the number of positive COVID-

19 cases at the facility related to that outbreak.” The statement continued, “In a congregate living setting, a COVID-19 outbreak is defined as two or more laboratory-confirmed cases. An outbreak is considered over if there is no evidence of continued transmission within the facility. This is measured as 28 days after the latest date of onset in a symptomatic person or the latest date of specimen collection in an asymptomatic person, whichever is later.” “If another case is detected in a facility after an outbreak is declared over, the outbreak is not reopened. It is counted as a case in congregate living settings, and if a second case is detected within 28 days in the same facility, it is considered a second, new outbreak in that facility. Outbreaks that are considered over can

be found on the last page of this report, under the previous outbreaks section.” Data will be updated on Tuesday and Friday by 4 pm and can be found at https://files.nc.gov/ncdhhs/ documents/files/covid-19/ Weekly-COVID19-Ongoing-Outbreaks.pdf Statewide, 76 facilities reported 2,126 positive cases, with 225 deaths. The Laurels of Chatham, Durham Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Pruitt Health-Carolina Point, and The Citadel at Salisbury all reported positive cases of 100 or more. The Citadel at Salisbury reported 144 cases, but Louisburg Healthcare and Rehab Center in Franklin County reported the highest percentage of deaths: 38.33%. Out of 69 confirmed cases, 18 of their residents died.

OWNER

NC 5-month reprieve on license and registration renewals If it is time to renew your driver’s license or vehicle registration, Governor Cooper and the General Assembly have just given you five months to get that done. On Monday, May 3, Governor Roy Cooper signed a bill into law allowing you to delay renewal of your driver’s license and vehicle registrations that expire between March 1 and July 31. The law adds five months to the expiration date of any license, registration, permit, and other credentials issued by the DMV. In addition, fees and penalties for late renewals are being waved. Vehicle tax payments and inspection deadlines have also been delayed by five months.

■ MEDITATION

Where Are You Going? I have been trying to take advantage of our “stay at home” guidelines in Jeff Wilson various Pastor w a y s ; Kings Mountain one of Church of the Nazarene which involves catching up on reading. A book that I am re-reading is The Tangible Kingdom by Hugh Halter and Matt

Smay. This book explores tangible ways that we can follow the mission of Jesus and transform our communities. During the month of May, I would like to use these articles to journey through this calling together. What is the mission of Jesus, and how can we apply that to our lives today? Maybe we can collectively find creative ways to live this out together. In Matthew chapter 28, Jesus commissions all his followers to go and make disciples. Before we explore what making disci-

ples looks like, it is good to remember that as Christians, first, we are called to “go”! All those years ago Jesus sent men and women to live lives that embodied this calling. They raised their families with this understanding that they were meant to go share the good news of being a Christ follower. Everywhere they went, they allowed others to see Jesus in them and they shared with people from all walks of life that they too could experience this same calling in their lives. Eventually this

group began to grow, and generation after generation began to spread around the globe. One day Christ followers settled into the great state of North Carolina and eventually ended up in a place I am proud to call home, Kings Mountain. Now it is our job to continue the legacy. We are people with a mission and that should be evident in the way we communicate with each other, where and how we spend our time, how we raise our families, what we choose to invest in and where we go.

Ask yourself, when the world around you may be in crisis and locked down, where is God asking you to go? We can still follow Jesus, wherever he sends us, while respecting the stay at home orders. Reach out to someone you have not spoken with in a while; send a letter, text, contribute to a worthwhile cause or just share on social media encouraging posts or comments. If our mission is to ‘go’, get creative and GO!

SIGNS From Page 1 a huge 5-foot tall sign that reads, “We’re Open” and another sign in the window announcing, “Drive Thru Open.” Across the street, progress has been made at Butler’s Tire and Auto Service. The park-

ing lot was filled to capacity with vehicles, since they are considered an essential business. The building and grounds are immaculate and a handsome addition to the King Street business district. Downtown, progress has also been made at 133 West. The patio railings have been installed and additional land-

Taco Bell scape work should also start soon in the remaining portion of the lot. Coronavirus or not, economic development in the City of Kings Mountain is vibrant as people look forward to an end of the stay at home order and a return to normal, whatever that will be post COVID-19.

The Herald solicited Mother’s Day memories from our readers. This story was shared by Melvin Ware and is a poignant and lovely remembrance of his mother, Eddys Latham Ware. Melvin writes, “Mother’s Day is a time of bitter-sweet memories for me. Sweet are memories of the 64 years I enjoyed my mother’s company. One especially vivid memory is that of red roses. When I was growing up it was customary than on Mother’s Day folks would wear a red rose on their lapel to honor their mother if still living or a white rose if deceased. Mom always made sure we each had a red rose on that special day and even cultivated a rose bush for that very purpose,” he shared. “On Mother’s Day weekend in 2007, the actions of a careless driver resulted in a traffic accident ending our mother’s earthly journey. We had planned for a Mother’s Day family gathering but instead spent Mother’s

Day planning her funeral. Yet the sight of a red rose bush in full bloom seems to soften the hurt and brings back memories that sweeten the bitter. Love you Mom!” Mrs. Ware taught generations of students at Kings Mountain High School and was admired by her students and peers. She retired from Kings Mountain High School in 1981 and was a former member of local, state and national teacher organizations and the Beta Chi Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa, an international honorary society for women educators. She was a member of Boyce Memorial ARP Church, Kings Mountain, where she taught for many years in the youth department. Mrs. Ware was born in York County, S.C., to the late Walter Ross and Iva Gettys Latham, she was a graduate of York High School and Erskine College, Due West, S.C. She taught school in Saluda and York counties, S.C., and in Cleveland County.
