Free Fishing Day held on July 4 July 4 is Free Fishing Day in North Carolina. From 12 am until 11:59 pm, everyone in North Carolina can fish for free in any public body of water, including coastal waters, without having to purchase a fishing license or additional trout fishing privilege. Although no fishing license is required, all other fishing regulations apply, such as length and daily possession limits, as well as bait and tackle restrictions. Free Fishing Day always falls on July 4. It was started in 1994 and is sponsored by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and authorized by the N.C. General Assembly. To give anglers a better

On Friday, June 26 at 5 pm, Governor Cooper’s Executive Order 147 required all North Carolina citizens to wear a face mask in public. The order places the burden of enforcement upon business owners, stating, “Citations under this Section shall be written only to businesses or organizations that fail to enforce the requirement to wear Face Coverings.” A growing number of Sheriffs across the state refuse to enforce Executive Order 147, including: Catawba, Carteret, Gaston, Burke, Iredell, Halifax, Bladen, Columbus, Sampson, Union, Stanly, Craven, Beaufort, and Pitt. Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck issued a statement the day the order

was released saying, “As a practical matter it would be difficult to enforce the face covering requirements of the Governor’s order based on the way the order is worded and the numerous exceptions present in the order; therefore, my office will not be enforcing the face covering requirements of Executive Order No 147. “ According to the order, Section F,2, “Law enforcement personnel are not authorized to criminally enforce the Face Covering requirements of this Executive Order against individual workers, customers, or patrons,” under EO 147, Section F, 2. “Operators of businesses and organizations are entitled to rely on their custom-

The General Assembly previously passed $1.5 billion in pandemic relief in May. This Legislature has now appropriated over $2 billion in CARES Act funding between the two bills. Senior House Appropriations Committee Co-

Chairs Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln) and Rep. Donny Lambeth (R-Forsyth) released a joint statement: "This powerful public health and economic relief will reach North Carolina communities directly while we continue to reserve federal funding for an uncertain future as our state faces a $5 billion revenue shortfall from the economic shutdown," Reps. Saine and Lambeth said. State House Speaker Tim Moore commented on the bill saying, "Through-

out this emergency and the hurricanes that came before, this General Assembly has provided North Carolina families with responsible budgeting of relief funds, careful stewardship of state savings, while preserving a forward-looking vision for our state. This bipartisan package continues to address critical public health and economic needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic as we work together to return North Carolina to one of the most competitive states in the nation."

Retired state employees to receive one-time reduction in supplemental dental coverage NC State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell, CPA, has announced a premium FOLWELL reduction of about 50% for retirees receiving supplemental dental coverage through Pierce Insurance due to diminished access to care triggered by Coronavirus shutdown. Policy holders will see nearly $2.3 million in savings. Treasurer Folwell, the Department of State Treasurer and Pierce Insurance, the state’s partner that provides supplemental insurance for retirees, negotiated a one-time reduction in premiums charged for dental insurance offered through UnitedHealthcare. UnitedHealthcare has agreed to forgive approximately 50% of the May dental premium for retirees participating in this supplemental coverage through Pierce Insurance. The one-time credit will be reflected in participating retiree paychecks in June. Regular deductions will resume in July. Treasurer Folwell likened the premium reduction due to diminished

access to dental care to initiatives put in place by most major auto insurance carriers. They have instituted refunds and credits for customers who are sheltering in place during the economic shutdown and therefore driving less. “We have seen the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in our families, our communities and in businesses we rely on each day. The Retirement Systems Division has been diligent in providing timely services and value to current and retired public servants of North Carolina,” Treasurer Folwell said. “I am proud of our staff and partners who recognized a need and negotiated a credit on behalf of our retired members.” Retired teachers, retired law enforcement officers and other retired workers who elected to participate in the UnitedHealthcare dental insurance offered through Pierce will see nearly $2.3 million savings on dental premiums this year due to the negotiations related to the impact of COVID-19.

Cleveland County reports second COVID-19 death within a week By Loretta Cozart The Cleveland County Health Department reported the fourth death associated with COVID-19 in Cleveland County, with two deaths within the last week. The individual, who passed on June 27, was in the age range of 50-64 and had multiple underlying health conditions. To protect the family’s privacy, no further information about this individual will be released. As of Monday at 2 pm, Cleveland County reported 76 new COVID-19 cases for last week and has confirmed a total of 286 cases to date. Health Department employees are so busy keeping up, numbers at the

Cleveland County Health Department’s website are not completely accurate. According to the website, Kings Mountain has 46 cases, Grover and Cherryville have 11, Shelby has 103, and Boiling Springs has 73. “Similar to the trajectories being monitored for the state of North Carolina, our county trends for number of new confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to move in the wrong direction,” Cleveland County Deputy Health Director DeShay Oliver said. “We are all ready for things to return to normal. In order for this to happen, we must all do our part each time we leave home. This means wearing a cloth face covering, waiting six

feet apart, and washing our hands. This also means following the Governor’s Executive Order on mass gathering limits and business reopening plans. Our actions now play an important role in our ability to move forward later,” she said.

On June 11, City Council approved rebranding the City of Kings Mountain by taking a fresh approach in its marketing, appealing to younger people and future growth. The rebranding goals were to create a memorable and unique mark that appeals to existing and future residents, business and commercial customers, and economic development within the area. The approach was to modernize the logo elements and fonts to appeal to younger audiences that would also work on modern mobile devices. To do this, City Manager Marilyn Sellers and her staff visited Lexington, NC, which had just finished a rebranding of their own with Electricities. They were impressed with what they saw.

“As you recall, we contracted with Electricities for economic development and along with that we asked them, as a third-party, to look at our branding,” City Manager Marilyn Sellers said. “We asked them to look at the city as a whole and they came very highly recommended from other cities.” Fresh colors were chosen to appeal to a younger audience, incorporating earthy colors of green, white, brown, and blue, replacing the old black, gold, and white. The City Seal

was updated and will soon be implemented by all staff and departments in all forms of communication. The City logo has been redesigned and boldly incorporates the letters KM. Again, the same fresh palate from the seal have been incorporated. The name Kings Mountain is included in the logo and a new tagline has been chosen: Living. Elevated. which is a play on words referencing mountain itself. Shane Potteete of Electricities explained, “The new tagine for the city is ‘Living. Elevated’, but the slogan can be adapted to the needs of the city in its promotion of amenities or for economic development: Industry. Elevated., for retail, Shopping. Elevated., for activities, Adventure. Elevated., and for schools, Education. Elevated” he explained.

Face mask use mandatory in public

Gov. Cooper extends Phase 2 Governor Roy Cooper and North Carolina Department of Health and Human GOV. COOPER Services Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen announced on Wednesday, June 14 that North Carolina will remain in Safer at Home Phase 2 for three more weeks. Cooper also announced that face coverings must be worn when people are in public places as officials seek to stabilize concerning trends of increasing viral spread. The order that moved the state into Phase 2 on May 22 was scheduled to expire on Friday but has been extended until July 17. The mask requirement took effect Friday at 5 pm. Cooper and Cohen were joined by Dennis Taylor, President of the North Carolina Nurses Association and Eugene A. Woods, President and CEO of Atrium Health. “North Carolina is relying on the data and the science to lift restrictions responsibly, and right now our increasing numbers show we need to hit the pause button while we work to stabilize our trends,” said Governor Cooper. “We need to all work together so we can protect our families and neighbors, restore our economy, and get people back to work and our children back to school.” “I know North Carolinians are strong, resilient and care deeply about our communities. We pride ourselves on helping our neighbors. The best way we can do that now is by taking the simple action of wearing a face covering that covers your nose and mouth. If we each do our part, we can get back to the people and places we love,” said Dr. Mandy Cohen, NCDHHS Secretary. Growing evidence shows that cloth face coverings, when worn consistently, can decrease the spread of COVID-19, especially

among people who are not yet showing symptoms of the virus. Until now, face coverings had been strongly recommended. Under today’s executive order, people must wear face coverings when in public places where physical distancing is not possible. In addition, certain businesses must have employees and customers wear face coverings, including retail businesses, restaurants, personal care and grooming; employees of childcare centers and camps; state government agencies under the Governor’s Cabinet; workers and riders of transportation; and workers in construction/ trades, manufacturing, agriculture, meat processing and healthcare and long-term care settings. “Wearing a face covering is an easy thing to do that can make a huge impact for all of us. A major spike in cases would be catastrophic to the system, and without your cooperation, nurses and our fellow healthcare providers will have a harder time caring for sick patients for weeks and months to come,” said Dennis Taylor, a nurse, and President of the North Carolina Nurses Association. “As the leader of the state’s largest health system, I am pro-health and also 100 percent pro-business. In fact, the two are inextricably connected and I’m very proud of the way business leaders and health experts are working together to keep our economy strong,” said Eugene A. Woods, President and CEO of Atrium Health. “Medical science says to reduce the spread of COVID19 masking works, and my sincere hope is that all the people of North Carolina can join forces to make wearing a mask not something we feel we have to do – but something that we want to do to keep each other, our neighbors, our children and our loved ones healthy and safe,” he said. Based on the metrics laid out in April by Governor Cooper and Secretary Cohen,

North Carolina is evaluating a combination of the data from the following categories that shows the indicators moving in the wrong direction, causing officials to implement today’s pause in Phase 2. Looking at the data: • North Carolina’s syndromic surveillance trend for COVID-like illness is increasing, based upon trajectory of Lab-Confirmed Cases Over 14 Days. • North Carolina’s trajectory of lab-confirmed cases starting to level but is still increasing, based upon trajectory in Percent of Tests Returning Positive Over 14 Days. • North Carolina’s trajectory in percent of tests returning positive remains elevated, based upon trajectory in Hospitalizations Over 14 Days. • North Carolina’s trajectory of hospitalizations are increasing, though we have capacity in our healthcare system. In addition to these metrics, the state continues building capacity to be able to adequately respond to an increase in virus spread. These areas include: • Laboratory Testing North Carolina is averaging more than 17,000 tests a day for the past week and there are more than 500 sites listed on online plus additional pop-up sites. North Carolina labs and labs around the country are seeing supply shortages for laboratory chemicals needed to process tests. • Tracing Capability There are over 1,500 fulltime and part-time staff supporting contact tracing efforts at the local health department level, including the 309 Carolina Community Tracing Collaborative contact tracers. These new hires reflect the diversity of the communities they serve, and 44% are bilingual. • Personal Protective Equipment The state’s personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies are stable.

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Ladies and gentlemen, God bless America - land of the free, home of the brave. –Dave Grohl

Pieces of Kings Mountain History

Last week I wrote an article about a film being shot at the LORETTA George COZART Washington Cornwell house located at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum. However, I incorrectly identified the original owner. To better understand who the original owners were, I decided to take a little time to learn more about George Washington Cornwell, his wife, and their children. George Washington Cornwell and his wife, Frances Lucinda (Lou) Smith, had just married when they purchased a lot in the newly incorporated city of Kings Mountain on April 1876 from the W.A. and Jacob S. Mauney. They built a 36 x 16 ft. home at 106 King Street, the lot to the right of the present day Family

Dollar store. The three-bay house consisted of a center hall, with front and back doors, front and back porches, and one room on either side. There was originally a back kitchen behind the left room. The house has the original sixinch tongue and groove 1876 floor, original plaster walls with repainted green woodwork, the fire box and hearths in both rooms have been reconstructed, the fireplace in the right room has a CAHILL coal grate from Chattanooga, TN, evidence that coal was the main source of heating in the home. George and his brother William, who lived next door, were both wagon makers. It is believed their shop was located between their homes. Lucinda was devoted Baptist and a founding member of Kings Mountain Baptist Church in 1890. Lucinda

FRANCIS LUCINDA SMITH CORNWELL lived to see the current building built in 1919 and died shortly thereafter. In 1910, George and Lucinda sold part of

their lot to their oldest son, Clarence. The small house was placed on logs and rolled to the far side of the lot, so Clarence had space to build a

new, fashionable house. At that time, the kitchen and back porch were detached from the house. The house was moved again in 2005 to the KMHM, when Central United Methodist Church donated the structure to the Museum after purchasing the land. Frances Lucinda Smith Cornwell was born August 19, 1846 and died September 5, 1919. George Washington Cornwell was born on October 2, 1848 and died on March 14, 1927. Both are buried at Mountain Rest Cemetery. Friends and family from near and far attended George’s funeral conducted by “Dr. J. M. Garrison, pastor of the deceased at the A. R. P. church of which he had long been a faithful member,” according to The Cleveland Star, Shelby, NC, Friday, 18 March 1927.

Together, George and Lou raised their seven children, according to the KMHM in the home. Of those, I could only identify six, Clarence Tracy Cornwell of Kings Mountain, Mrs. J. B. Youngblood of Durham; and Emma Cornwell Austell who was a teacher and made her home with her father. Daughter Annie Cornwell Bridges died in young womanhood. Leslie Cornwell died at 18-months and another infant died at birth. Honorary pall bearers, who had for a long time been associates and friends of George Cornwell were D. M. Baker, J. S. Mauney, J. C. Baumgardner, Rev. A. H. Sims, and Dr. O. G. Falls. Try as I might, I could find no stories about Mr. and Mrs. Cornwell. However, I was able to find their photos on Find-AGrave.

social gatherings. We miss going to our places of worship. Only so much can be done at home for so long. Working at home, watching worship at home and doing everything at home is not all that much fun for many Americans. Some thought it would be great to do everything from home but many have gotten tired of never leaving the house. Many Americans will welcome the opportunity to go back to work, to church and the local gathering spots. As we celebrate our independence, we look to God, pray for our leaders and have hope that we all will grasp and stand firm on this truth from our Declaration of Independence, “that all people are created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” May we each hold to and extend this hope to every American.

God is Truth! (Final & 4th Part of “Attributes of Father God” Series) The struggle since the beginning of time, and which is prevalent today, is the battle for truth. Many are asking, “Is the Bible true?” Some in society have accused the Bible of being false - but affirm that their personal DANYALE PATTERSON theories, ideologies, and opinions are correct. Why is there such a conflict with defining what’s right or wrong, good or evil, truth or lies? WE HAVE AN ENEMY WHO TWISTS THE TRUTH AND DECEIVES PEOPLE “…Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” - 2 Corinthians 11:14 “And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” - Revelation 12:9

In the garden of Eden, the devil accused God of lying, thereby planting seeds of doubt in Eve’s mind about God’s word. In essence, he made it seem like God was keeping something good from them. Through the years. his tactics have not changed. He is a liar and the Father of lies. PEOPLE WANT TO PLEASE THEMSELVES RATHER THAN OBEY GOD “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes”. - Judges 21:25 “For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.” - 2 Timothy 4:3 As soon as we enter the world, our human nature is kicking and screaming to get its own way. We must be taught morals and self-control. Even as adults, we wrestle with fulfilling our own plans instead of being led by the Spirit. However, once we submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we learn that Father God knows best and that He wants to bless us, not hurt us. JESUS ADDRESSED THE CONFUSION OF TRUTH Jesus made many bold statements about Truth. Here

Page 5 are a few: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6 “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” - John 16:13 “Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:31-32 PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father God, you are forever righteous. It is impossible for you to lie. Teach me your ways that I may live according to your truth! You are the God of my salvation. Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. Lord, I ask for sharp discernment to perceive the blatant lies and subtle deception of the enemy. Protect me from the traps and snares of the wicked one. In Jesus’ name I pray - Amen.” Danyale Patterson is an Evangelist and member of Engage Church. Contact her at www.danyale.com to share a testimony, send a prayer request, or book her to speak.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors ﬂew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. Acts 16:25-26 And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. II Chronicles 20:22

Patterson is guest speaker at East Gold Street Wesleyan Evangelist Danyale Patterson will be guest speaker at East Gold Street Wesleyan Church on Sunday, July 5th at PATTERSON 11:00 AM. “The community is welcome to come experience this anointed Woman of God as she preaches the transforming message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as it is her desire to see churches and communities changed through the hope and holiness of our Lord,” said Pastor Scott Whitney. A native of the inner city of North St. Louis, Missouri, Evangelist Danyale Patterson has experienced how poverty, drug abuse, and crime deteriorate families and communities. However, as a young child, it was evident that the hand of

God was on her life and she was destined to rise above the despair to proclaim the good news of Christ’s Kingdom. During her professional career, with a Bachelors of Science degree in Education, she taught in Missouri and Tennessee Public schools in addition to teaching online to Chinese students in Beijing, China. She also became a Parent Educator for Parents as Teachers, and a Prevention Specialist for the National Alcoholism and Drug Prevention Association. Her spheres of influence have opened many opportunities for her to equip children, parents, other educators, and ministry leaders. As a revivalist, her preaching style ensures that God is glorified, people are edified and demons are horrified! She believes in God’s power to save, heal,

and transform people. As a result, many years of her life have been spent reaching out to the hurting and serving in local churches. Other ministerial responsibilities have included Christian discipleship, intercessory prayer, baptismal ministry, prison ministry, missions, street evangelism, children & youth programs, women’s ministry and radio media ministry. Currently, She is writing a book called “Parenting Like God”, which will be released in Fall 2020. She is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries with her husband Brandon Patterson. They are the proud parents of their 10-year-old daughter, Kalia Patterson who ministers beside her parents.

New tennis field house coming along nicely Kings Mountain High’s new tennis field house is coming along nicely and should be finished in two to three weeks. David Brinkley, president of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club which has been responsible for the upgrade and/or replacement of many athletic facilities at KMHS, said when the field house is completed it will represent about $1.4 million in improvements and making the facility one of, if not the best, in the state. “We’re hoping to start laying the turf Wednesday,” he reported. “We will be painting the floors black with gold chips.” He said locker equipment has already been ordered, and there is still work to be done in under-pinning and fencing. Signage for each court will also be coming soon. After all work on the building is complete, there will also be grading work and re-planting of grass. “It’s going to look great,” Brinkley said. The field house will include locker rooms on each side, a coach’s office on each side, storage areas, and public restrooms in the middle. There will also be public water fountains where fans can not only get a drink of water but will be able to fill water jugs. “It’s going to really look good,” Brinkley noted. Brinkley, general contractor Trent Hagans, and

contractor Jason Butler put their years of experience together to plan the facility. “I haven’t seen any high school courts in the state that can compete with these,” Brinkley said. “They are as good or better than any I have ever seen anywhere. Between the football field and tennis courts we have really improved our situation. I hope it adds value to our community.” Once construction is complete, a special recognition board will be erected noting KMHS tennis players that won state championships, including Bryan Jones, Jackie Houston, Natalie Lutz and Madison Frye. Each court will be numbered by individuals and companies that sponsored its construction, including: Court 1- David and Marie Brinkley. Court 2- Kerns Trucking and Martin Marietta of Kings Mountain. Court 3 – Kings Mountain Touchdown Club. Court 4 – John O. Harris Interests, Ed Guy and Todd Wilson. Court 5 – Natalie and Madison Lutz, Baker Dental and Rick and Paula Henderson. Court 6 – Quality Fencing, Turning Point Paving, Butler Landscaping and Hagans Construction. Brinkley said at the appropriate time, the building will be named.

Kings Mountain High School’s new tennis field house is being constructed and should be finished in two to three weeks.

On June 17, FDA contacted Eskbiochem to recommend the company remove its hand sanitizer products from the market due to the risks associated with methanol poisoning. To date, the company has not taken action to remove these potentially dangerous products from the market. Therefore, FDA recommends consumers stop using these hand sanitizers and dispose of them immediately in appropriate hazardous waste containers. Do not flush or pour these products down the drain. FDA reminds consumers to wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing one’s nose. If soap and water are not readily available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend consumers use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent ethanol.

On June 19, FDA advises consumers not to use any hand sanitizer manufactured by Eskbiochem SA de CV in Mexico, due to the potential presence of methanol (wood alcohol), a substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested. FDA has identified the following products manufactured by Eskbiochem: • All-Clean Hand Sanitizer •Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer • CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol • Lavar 70 Gel Hand Sanitizer • The Good Gel Antibacterial Gel Hand Sanitizer • CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol • CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol •CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol • Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer FDA tested samples of Lavar Gel and CleanCare No Germ. Lavar Gel contains 81 percent methanol and no ethyl alcohol, and CleanCare No Germ contains 28 percent methanol. Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and should not be used due to its toxic effects. Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning. Substantial methanol exposure can

Harmful Algal Bloom on Moss Lake By Loretta Cozart On June 8, Michael Meilinger of the Division of Water Resources Mooresville Regional Office investigated a report of an algal bloom in Moss Lake. Results of analysis released on June 10 showed this was a harmful algal bloom, but there were no reports of health effects attributed to it. This bloom was determined to be of the cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon and Cylindrospermopsis and the diatom Synedra. Blooms of these algae are very common in North Carolina lakes during summer. According to North Carolina Environmental Quality, “Algae are responsive to the physical and chemical conditions in the aquatic environment. Sometimes their rapid reproduction causes nuisance growths or blooms.” Most blooms occur when favorable environmental conditions exist, such as an extended daylight during summer, sufficient nutrients, and slow-moving or stagnant waters. The NCDHHS’s website states that although there are no documented reports of people getting sick from blue-green algae

in North Carolina, people should follow these common-sense, practical precautions around blue-green algae blooms: • Don't wade or swim in water containing visible blooms and avoid direct contact with dense mats of algae. • Don't drink untreated water or let children, livestock or pets get into or drink untreated water. • Make sure children are supervised at all times when they are near water. Drowning, not exposure to algae, remains the greatest hazard of water recreation. • If you do come into contact with the algae or water around a bloom, simply rinse off with fresh water as soon as possible. • Please see also our guidelines specifically for the protection of children and dogs. Public drinking water supplies are carefully monitored at water treatment plants and by the N.C. Public Water Supply Section to ensure safe drinking water. Algae can be removed from drinking water by filtration, and unwanted odors and tastes caused by algae are removed with activated carbon and potassium permanganate during water treatment.

Hours of operation are 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; • Visit a local Wildlife Service Agent.

Employment scams hit those already in financial crisis A new study released by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) finds that nearly three-quarters of those who lose money to employment scams are already in financial crisis, and do not have enough income to cover their monthly bills. In addition, more than half of people targeted by employment scams (53%) reported being unemployed at the time of the encounter. Employment scams were the #1 riskiest scam in 2018 and 2019, according to the BBB Risk Index, which measures exposure, susceptibility, and monetary loss based on reports to BBB Scam Tracker . Only weeks after the release of the latest BBB Scam Tracker Risk Report in early March, the COVID19 pandemic forced the shut-down of businesses across North America. Hundreds of thousands who lost their jobs began seeking new jobs via online platforms and other

means. In response, BBB launched a new research project to better understand how employment scams are being perpetrated, who is being targeted, the overall impact of these scams, and how to help people avoid losing money to them. “This research was timely as we found that more than half of scam targets were seeking work-from-home opportunities,” said Melisa Lanning Trumpower, executive director of the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust, which produced the report. “As more people search for flexible employment opportunities following the coronavirus outbreak, they need to know that scammers are out there in force and targeting those most in need.” The Employment Scams Report examines findings from an April 2020 survey of 10,670 U.S. and Canadian consumers re-

tody and will be transferred to the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility. In making last week’s announcement, U.S. Attorney Murray thanked the FBI’s Charlotte Division, the Myrtle Beach Police Department, the Horry County Police Department, and the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office for their investigation of this case. They received assistance, according to the media release, from FBI Knoxville, FBI Birmingham, Homeland Security Investigations, the Cherryville Police Department and the Gastonia Police Department. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Asheville prosecuted the case. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 by the Department of Justice, aimed at combating the growing online sexual exploitation of children. By combining resources, federal, state and local agencies are better able to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue those victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.

From Page 1 show that as a result of the events surrounding his arrest, the FBI coordinated an extensive multi-state and multiagency investigation. As Hilliard admitted in court documents, law enforcement discovered that, over the course of eight to 10 years, Hilliard had secretly produced multiple secret recordings of at least 16 child victims at various locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama, including aboard his yacht, in his homes, in various hotel rooms, and elsewhere. Court records also show that, at times, Hilliard produced secret recordings of victims he had hired as babysitters for his young children, and used multiple hidden devices to record his victims from different angles while they were using the shower and changing clothes. Some of the victims were as young as five years old. According to court records, also Hilliard engaged in sexual acts with one of the minor victims, which he secretly recorded. On April 22, 2019, Hilliard pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor and possession of child pornography. He is currently in cus-

porting employment scams to BBB Scam Tracker. One surprising finding is that sixty-five percent of consumers reported that their “job offer” was related to becoming a “warehouse redistribution coordinator” or some similar titles involving the reshipment of packages (which often involve stolen goods). In many cases, these scammers impersonated well-known retailers like Amazon and Walmart to seem legitimate, posting jobs on major online employment platforms with few prerequisites or requirements. The report also highlights those who are most at risk for employment scams. Students and individuals ages 25-34 were more susceptible and likely to be victimized, while those ages 45-54 and 65+ reported higher median dollar losses. In addition, military spouses and veterans were more likely to fall victim than non-military consumers and reported losing

significantly more money to employment scams. “These critical findings can help guide our scam prevention outreach to those most vulnerable to these scam types,” Trumpower said. “Employment scams don’t just affect those who lose money. For every victim who lost money, at least one other worked without pay, and yet another lost personal information that could lead to identity theft.” Survey results reinforced that consumer education is a critical component of fighting back against these scammers. Those who avoided losing money were much more likely to report previous knowledge of employment scams and tactics (20% versus 7%).

Sheriff Norman’s tips for a safe July 4th weekend 9-1-1 or your local emergency number in the pool area. • Look around the pool area to be certain lifesaving devices are readily available for emergency use. • Be sure covers are installed on all drains of a swimming pool or in a wading pool. The suction created by the pool’s circulating pumps can be very dangerous unless it is reduced by covers. • Take frequent breaks (about once an hour) where everyone gets out of the water, drinks water, reapplies water resistant sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and rests. • If a child is missing, check the pool first. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom, and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area. To reduce the risk of eye, ear, nose or throat infection from contaminated water, swim only in pools in which water quality is properly maintained. The water should appear crystal clear, be continuously circulated and be maintained at a level that allows free overflow into the gutter or skimmer. There should not be a strong odor of ammonia or chlorine. At the beach, take the following precautions: • Swim in a supervised, marked area with a lifeguard present, and swim with others. Never swim alone. • If you are caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. Once you are free, turn and swim toward shore. If you can't swim to the shore, float or tread water until you are free of the rip current and then head toward shore. • Watch out for the "dangerous too's" – too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun, too much strenuous activity. • Look for water that is reasonably clear and free of floating materials and odors. Avoid swimming at beaches where there are large populations of ducks, geese or gulls. The waste produced by these birds causes high bacteria levels in the water. • Look for movement in the water; it helps keep the water clean. Do not swim in stagnant or still water. • Do not swim at any beach right after a heavy rain. Runoff following a heavy rain may result in a high bacteria level.

• When diving at a beach, exercise extreme caution. Beach water is not as clear as water in a pool, so underwater obstructions may not be visible. • Avoid having beach water in your mouth or nose. Sheriff Norman said, “Following these precautions will help the children and citizens of Cleveland County stay safe and healthy this holiday weekend and throughout the summer.”

With the July 4th weekend approaching, Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Nor- SHERIFF NORMAN man asks all citizens to join him in making this Fourth of July holiday happy, enjoyable and safe for everyone. Cleveland County citizens should remember that fireworks, as enjoyable as they are to watch, can be dangerous and should only be handled by professionals. According to the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission, there are nearly 13,000 emergency room-treated injuries associated with fireworks a year. You can enjoy a safe Fourth of July by following these safety tips: • Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging. • Keep a supply of water close-by as a precaution. • Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection. • Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight "a dud." • Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. • Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials. • Stay at least 500 feet away from professional fireworks displays. • Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks. Sheriff Norman also wants citizens to use caution when swimming at a beach or at a pool. Sheriff Norman said, “Sadly, most deaths from drowning occur within a few feet of safety.” The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. The Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability. To find out where lessons are offered, or to enroll in a CPR/AED or first aid course, contact your local Red Cross chapter. At a swimming pool, take the following precautions: • If no lifeguard is on duty, do not let children swim unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult who knows lifesaving techniques and first aid. • Post CPR instructions and directions to call
