OPINION
Wednesday, August 26, 2020
TODAY’S QUOTE:
What America needs is not just another politician or more promises. What America needs is a revival. – Rand Paul
Pieces of Kings Mountain History Changes are coming to Kings Mountain, and I’m not talking about the casino. LORETTA I am writing COZART about the renewed attention City of Kings Mountain has given to codes enforcement and cleaning up the community. Councilman Jimmy West ran on a platform of cleaning up the city, and city councilmembers stand behind him in his push to clean up of our community. A year ago, the city
hired Code Enforcement Director Clint Houser and he’s been working to search out dilapidated and abandoned properties. Last month, an abandoned home near the Margrace Community was razed because the owners couldn’t be found, and the house was a danger to the community. McGill’s Service Station was next on the list, but a buyer purchased the property and has begun work to save the building. Two weeks ago, the City of Kings Mountain announced the selection of Darren Graves to fill a newly-created position as a Codes Enforcement
Officer. In this role, Graves focuses primarily on insuring compliance with minimum housing standards, building codes for new construction and junk cars on residential properties. When I served as Executive Director for the Kings Mountain Chamber of Commerce 30 years ago, the city only had 700 houses. According to the City-Data.com, Kings Mountain now has 4,588 homes. It is interesting to note that of those homes, only 4,248 are occupied. Another interesting fact is that of the 4,248 occupied homes, 1,902 are rented. Out of curiosity, a
search on Cleveland County GIS of nine known landlords of rental properties in Kings Mountain showed that together they own 286 residential properties. One landlord alone owns 78 houses. While some landlords are good stewards of their properties, some are not, which brings me to my point. Hopefully the city’s codes enforcers will take note of rental properties to make sure they meet minimum housing standards and are kept in good shape. In April, the city held a Clean Sweep, even offering to haul away junk
cars. They also extended the event an extra week to make sure everyone had an opportunity to participate. That was a very generous offer and saved residents who took part lots of money. If you didn’t rid your yard of junk vehicles, the time is now to get those hauled away. If not, it could attract codes inspectors to your house, and they will probably take a harder look at your property while they are visiting. A proactive step now could save you money and other headaches. The bottom-line is that city council wants resi-
dents to take pride in their property and keep it clean and well maintained. Cut the grass, trim hedges and shrubs, and keep the house in good order. A little paint goes a long way in beautifying your home. If you do that, perhaps your neighbors will be inspired by your efforts. And, before you know it, the whole block might follow suit. If everyone took a little time this summer and early fall to tidy up their properties, it would make a world of difference the beauty of our city.
Looking Back Biden and Trump By Loretta Cozart Several years ago, the Herald featured a story on the teller window at First National Bank of Kings Mountain. That article brought information that the teller window had been sold to Gus’ 49er in Charlotte. Mary remembered the window well and even mentioned its brass railing. Mayor Neisler shared said the teller window had ornate decoration at each post that resembled Mercury, the god of shopkeepers and merchants. “The brass works weren’t that tall, maybe 18 inches high,” he said. Through research, it was discovered that UNC Charlotte had information on Gus’ 49er and the auction held when the restaurant’s collection was liquidated in January 1996. According to their records, the teller window had been acquired by First National Bank from the Independence Trust
Company that had been in the Independence Building in downtown Charlotte. Architect Frank Milburn designed the building that had been located on the northwest corner of Trade and Tryon Streets. In 1908, a reporter for the News and Observer of Raleigh wrote, “The only skyscraper in the State was being constructed in Charlotte”. In an article published in The Charlotte Observer on May 18, 1908, Frank P. Milburn boasted that a "new 12-story and basement steelframe skyscraper" was underway in Charlotte, which would be "the first building of this type and the most expensive office building in the State." Two floors were added later, making the building 14 stories tall. B.S. Neill became the Cashier for the First National Bank of Kings Mountain in 1931, having worked at the Independence Trust Company just prior. In 1933 President Hoover ordered a bank holiday
and many banks didn’t reopen, including the Independence Trust Company. Sometime after that, the teller window was brought to Kings Mountain. I suspect Mr. Neill facilitated that. Reading the Lilly Auction Company’s list, item #92 was a “Teller window and Brass Railings. From Independence Trust Company (Charlotte) dated 1908.” A handwritten note indicates it sold for $2,000. And the folks at UNCC noted it had been acquired by Gus’ 49er from Kings Mountain. The teller window had a grand life in the Independence Trust Company on the Corner of Trade and Tryon in Charlotte. It had been a fixture in the first steel skyscraper in the state of North Carolina and resided there for more than 20 years. When the Independence Trust Company failed, the teller window was brought

- does age matter? John F. Kennedy was 43 years old when he was elected to serve as President Glenn Mollette of the Guest Editorial United States in 1960. His age did not hurt him on election day. Barack Obama was 47 years old when he became President of the United States in 2008. His age, skin color and limited number of years that he had served in the United States Senate did not hurt him when it came to election day. Donald Trump was 70 years old when he was elected in November, 2016 as President of the United States. He had never held a public office. He has gone through two divorces and had some ups and downs in his life, which did not prevent him from becoming President of the United States. We place a lot of emphasis on age. Youth always im-
presses us. Remember Tiger Woods? He was just 21 years old when he won The Masters in record breaking fashion in 1997. When we see a great singer like Tony Bennett at the age of 94 still singing and dancing, we can’t help but ask the question, “How old is he?” Because we are amazed at what a 94-yearold can do. His age doesn’t stop him. By the way Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87. Loretta Lynn is 88 and Sophia Loren is 85. The bottom line is age is just a number. There are talented and very capable people at every age category of life. Some people are too old when they are 45 years old and some people never get old. Some old people have never matured. While they are old in age they have never mentally grown up. We all have to move beyond age. We have to ask is the person up for the job mentally and physically? Do they have the energy? Do they have the career and educational background? Do
they possess the skills necessary to perform the tasks? Is the person hungry enough to work hard and do a good job or are they merely looking for a title? Americans want a President who will pull out all the stops to find a vaccine for Covid-19. Laboratories are working now. This disease has devastated our nation. No President would have been prepared for this pandemic. Americans still want a slice of the American dream. We want a place to live, a paycheck, good medical care and retirement. We also want to be safe. We don’t want thugs and gangs taking over our towns and neighborhoods. A strong police force and military are essential. Americans will go to the polls in November and vote for President Donald Trump or former Vice-President Joe Biden. What will matter is what you believe in, who you believe in and your hopes for America. Trump and Biden both have track records and their age won’t matter on election day.

Letter to Editor: The USPS is one of our oldest and most reliable entitites. This mail service has been a lifeline for many Americans during this coronavirus pandemic. The United States Postal Service is one of the few governmental agencies authorized by the U.S. Constitution. It has been delivering letters, documents, packages – including essential medicines – to Americans throughout the country since 1792, with roots predating the American Revolution. Private companies won’t deliver to certain remote areas because it is not profitable to do so, but the Postal Service is obligated to serve all Americans regardless of where they live – and right now, the Postal Service is

They are first responders and on the front line. It is insane to think that, at this time, the Postal Service’s budget may be cut along with none of the first Stimulus funds allocated to the Postal Service. In fact, the mail is heavier and busier than ever with the Postal service exhausted and working overtime. Now is the time to reinstate budgets and to include our first responders (the USPS) as recipients of the next stimulus package Our local postal service personnel are professional, friendly and 100 percent customer oriented.

This mail service, authorized by the US Constitution, has been a lifeline for many Americans during this coronavirus pandemic. They are on the front line and a jewel in our midst.

A Clean Slate
(4th and Final Part of “A New Beginning” series) Sitting in a garage does not make a person a car, nor does attending church, religious titles, or doing good works make an individual a follower of Christ. Jesus states in Matthew 7:21-23 (MSG), “Knowing the correct password — saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance — isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What DANYALE PATTERSON is required is serious obedience — doing what my Father wills. I can see it now — at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.’ And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat...You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here.” Mathew 7:23 (KJV)....”I never knew you.” A relationship with Christ begins when one recognizes and believes that through his death, burial, and resurrection - that Jesus is Savior, Lord, and the only way to our Heavenly Father. In humility, they ask him to forgive their sins and surrender their hearts to him. Then, a new life in the kingdom of God begins. He literally wipes the slate clean. Isaiah 44:22 says, “I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.”
Page 5
A born-again person should have a strong desire to please God, because of their love for him and are more interested in what God’s WORD says about an issue, rather than their opinion. However, when a person exalts their personal beliefs and rejects the Bible, it is time for them to evaluate who is Lord of their lives. Is it Self or Christ? The good news is God, the Creator of the universe has given us the privilege to come before his throne. When is the last time you utilized this opportunity to meet with God - bowing or laying before the Lord, soaking in His Presence, and repenting of your sins? Apostle Peter states in Acts 3:19, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord I am in awe of who you are. You conquered death and the grave. You rose from the dead and now sit at the right hand of the Father. You make daily intercession for me. You are my High Priest, Redeemer, Savior, and Friend. Thank you for dying for my sins. Forgive me for rebellion, sinful thoughts, and hidden faults. Forgive me for not representing you well to others, because of my selfishness, and imperfections. Help me to live for you in every area of my life. My desire is to always please you. I love you, Jesus. - Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501C3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

Southern Arts Society adds color and creativity to Kings Mountain As part of the City of Kings Mountain’s Main Street Vision and Work Plan, downtown Kings Mountain is looking to enhance authentic retail, dining, entertainment, and housing options by featuring a different business each week. This week, we spotlight Southern Arts Society which adds color and creativity to Kings Mountain. Southern Arts Society (SASi) is a nonprofit arts organization founded in 1984 by A.B. Mauney Snow and local artists. In 2002, SASi moved into the historic Southern Railway Depot on the corner of North Piedmont Avenue and Battleground Avenue in Kings Mountain. “Our mission is to promote the arts by training the artist and educating the public about the talented artists in our community,” said Curator Jewel Reavis. “We offer visual art displays in the community, rotating art exhibits, a fabulous gift shop, a variety of arts classes and workshops, scholarships for local students and artistic programs which include a demonstration of art with the goal of making
art, while having fun,” Reavis added. In Southern Arts Society’s gift shop and gallery, you will find work created by more than 75 regional artists in multiple media including oil, pastels, drawing, clay, glass, jewelry, fiber, fabric, paper, photography, metal, wood and wearable art. The gift shop and gallery are normally open five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 am to 4 pm and admission is free. However, COVID-19 caused the gift shop and gallery to close for six weeks and they have reopened with limited hours. SASi has also resumed a few classes with a limited size of six participants, all of whom are required to wear masks and practice social dis-
great job of promoting Kings Mountain,” said Reavis, “and we are excited to welcome more people to stop by to see
tancing. Gift shop sales, memberships, contributions and grants are important sources of revenue for SASi. “Although we are based in Kings Mountain, our membership extends throughout the Carolinas,” said Reavis. “We gladly welcome new visitors and members,” Reavis added. “All you need is a love and appreciation for the arts.” “I think the City does a

The late ‘Slow’ Robinson was Satchel Paige’s catcher This is the 100th year since the formation of the Negro Major League baseball league. A man who lived the latter years of his life in Kings Mountain, Henry Frazier “Slow” Robinson, spent several seasons in the league before it merged with the Major League. Robinson moved to Kings Mountain from California in 1989. He and his wife lived across from
Ebenezer Baptist Church on Cherryville Road. Robinson began his professional career in 1939 with the Satchel Paige All-Stars. He was Paige’s catcher. His career was interrupted in 1944-45 by World War II when he joined the U.S. Navy. He played for the Kansas City Monarchs, New York Black Yankees, Baltimore Elite Giants and the Baltimore Greys and
retired from the game in 1950. Robinson was born in Alabama, and moved to Oklahoma at a young age. His brother Norman Robinson also played major league ball and they played together with the Elites in 1946. Prior to moving to Kings Mountain, Robinson ran his own business, Sweep It Right Parking Lot Maintenance, in Los Angeles.

ing in the game before Burleson, who finished with 38 points, scored the last seven on an old-fashioned three-point play (a field goal and free throw, there were no threepoint goals back then), a tipped-in missed shot and a 23-foot jumper at the buzzer for the game winner. Otis Cole, who finished his senior season with 550 points and a 23.4 points per game average, went on to a great career with the Florida State Seminoles. Cole was on the FSU team that lost the NCAA national championship to John Wooden’s UCLA powerhouse in 1973. Cole still lives in Kings Mountain and is seen regularly at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium, cheering on the Mountaineers. Barnes, who went on to become a starting guard at Appalachian State and later coached basketball in Georgia and North Carolina, averaged 18.2 points per game and had a season’s total of 436 points. Francis, who was the #3 scorer with 238 points, joined Cole and Barnes on the All-Southwestern Conference team. Cole played in the East-West All-Star game and also made the All-American team.

Fifty years ago Kings Mountain High School put one of its best teams ever on the basketball floor. The first full five-year period after school integration proved to be one of, if not the best, in Mountaineer basketball history. The 1966-67 and 196768 teams that featured All-American George Adams posted back-toback seasons of 20-1 and 25-1, the first being upset by Marion in the first round of the WNCHSAA playoffs and the latter losing only to A.L. Brown of Kannapolis in the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association championship game. Coached by the late Bob Hussey, the 1968-69 team featured a mostly young group of players but still managed to finish 18-5 overall and second place in the Southwestern 3A Conference behind Cherryville. But players like Otis Cole, Charles Barnes and Phillip Francis polished their skills during that season, and in 1969-70 they and their teammates reeled off 23 straight victories before facing a giant in the WNCHSAA semi-finals. That giant was 7-foot-4 Tommy Burleson and Avery County, who came into the KMHS gym and scored the last seven points of the game to stun the Mountaineers 63-61. Kings Mountain led 61-56 with 1:59 remain-

Neely, Beaver win senior golf matches Dickie Neely and Tony Beaver were the winners in last week’s Cleveland County Senior Men’s golf matches at Crowders Mountain and Deer Brook. The men reinstituted the concept of a “Mystery Round” in which prizes double. Two mystery holes were added on the front and one on the back. Every golfer who birdied one of those holes was awarded a prize. The holes were not announced until after the round. Neely was low gross at Crowders Mountain with a 71. He also took low net with a 57 (57 minus his 14 handicap). Closest to the pin on 11 was Rick Martinez and sinking the longest putt on 18 was Jerry Carroll. Since Neely won both
gross and net, he was awarded the prize for gross score. John Allemeier, Tim Leu and Don Wease all tied for second net at 60, so they were awarded two sleeves of balls. The mystery hole winners on #1 and #18 were Toby Thrift, Larry Rikard, Al Dulude, Tony Beaver, Larry Hibschman and Tom Addis. Low gross at Deer Brook was Tony Beaver with a 71. Chuck Rinehart was low net with a 65 (75-10). Closest to the pin on 12 was Stewart Smith, and Ron Clendening sank the longest putt on 18. Mystery holes were four and 11. Tom Addis, Mike Barbus, Jim Medlin and Bill Crocker each won a sleeve of balls with birdies on those holes.

Synthetic ID theft, new trick for scammers Identity theft is an ever-evolving crime. As credit bureaus and individuals catch on to the schemes of identity thieves, the con artists simply modify their tactics. Scammers are now combining information from multiple individuals to invent a false identity, a technique called “synthetic” identity theft. It’s so hard to detect, you might be a victim and not even know it. How the Scam Works: Scammers pull together a stolen Social Security or Social Insurance number (often belonging to a minor or someone with no credit history), the address of an abandoned property, and a fake name and birth date. Using this information, the scammer applies for a credit card. Initially, they will be declined since they don’t have a credit profile, but this creates a record of a “person” that doesn’t actually exist. Next, the scammer adds that person to one or more legitimate accounts. Over time, the scammer builds up a credit history. They may even make charges and payments over several years, until they can qualify for large lines of credit. Once they are approved for a high line of credit, they do what is called a “bust-out.” The con artist charges their credit cards to the limit, pays nothing, discards the identity, and disappears. If your Social Security or Social Insurance number has been used in synthetic identity theft, it will be difficult to detect. Negative credit reports will be tied to your Social Security number, but not your name, phone number, and address. This means fraud alerts, credit monitoring, and credit freezes won’t stop the scammers or alert you to what is happening. However, unpaid debts left by the scammer can affect your ability to take out loans or credit. Also, jilted creditors will eventually track the debts back to the Social Security number and, ultimately, its real owner. How to Protect Yourself from Synthetic Identity Theft: ● Minimize your exposure. Don’t give out your Social Security or Social Insurance number if it isn’t absolutely necessary. When a business, medical office, or individual asks for this information, don’t be afraid to ask them why they need it and how they will protect your personal information. ● Protect your child’s personal information. A child’s identity is appealing to scammers
due to their clean, blank slate. See these BBB tips for more advice on protecting your child’s identity. ● Keep an eye on your communications. Monitor any mail, phone calls, email, or other communications you receive. Be alert
if something arrives out of the blue or doesn’t make sense. If you receive any mail or phone calls regarding you or your child that seem like a red flag, follow up right away.

FDA updates hand sanitizers consumers should not use FDA is warning consumers and health care professionals about certain hand sanitizer products, including those manufactured by Harmonic Nature S de RL de MI in Mexico, that are labeled to contain ethanol or isopropyl alcohol but have tested positive for 1-propanol contamination. 1-propanol, not to be confused with 2-propanol/ isopropanol/isopropyl alcohol, is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizer products marketed in the United States and can be
toxic and life-threatening when ingested. The agency urges consumers not to use these 1-propanol-contaminated products and has expanded its do-not-use list of hand
sanitizers at www.fda.gov/ unsafehandsanitizers to include hand sanitizers that are or may be contaminated with 1-propanol, in addition to other hand sanitizers the agency is urging consumers not to use. Young children who accidentally ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute are most at risk. Ingesting 1-propanol can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, which can result in death.
Symptoms of 1-propanol exposure can include confusion, decreased consciousness, and slowed pulse and breathing. Animal studies indicate that the central nervous system depressant effects of 1-propanol are 2 to 4 times as potent as alcohol (ethanol). Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing 1-propanol and are experiencing symptoms should seek immediate care for treatment of toxic effects of 1-propanol poisoning. Skin or eye exposure to 1-propanol can result in irritation, and rare cases of allergic skin reactions have been reported. Consumers who have products on the list of hand sanitizers with potential methanol or 1-propanol contamination should immediately stop using the
product and dispose of it, ideally in a hazardous waste container. Do not pour these products down the drain or flush them. Contact your local waste management and recycling center for more information on hazardous waste disposal. The agency continues to add certain hand sanitizers to the import alert to stop these products from legally entering the U.S. market and has issued warning letters to companies that violate federal law. 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 (also referred to as ethyl alcohol). FDA encourages health care professionals, consumers and patients to report adverse events or quality problems experienced with the use of hand sanitizers to FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program (please provide the agency with as much information as possible to identify the product): For an up-to-date list of hand sanitizers not to use, visit: https://www. fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/ fda-updates-hand-sanitizers-consumers-should-notuse and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Campus safety: avoiding a dangerous situation 133 WEST bar area.

LOOKING From page 4 to Kings Mountain and had a second life here. It played a role in the growth of our community when textiles boomed, and many admired the beauty of the window as they did their banking. After the First National Bank of Kings Mountain merged with First Union National Bank and relocated to their new building just across Mountain Street on Battleground Avenue where Wells
Fargo is located today, the teller window was considered a relic of the past and sold to Gus’ 49er. It remained there until the auction in January of 1996. Recently, the Herald discovered a booklet at DigitalNC that celebrated the first 50 years of First National Bank of Kings Mountain. Just after WWII, the bank was remodeled, and this booklet celebrated the 50th anniversary with 50 Years of Progress: First National Bank – City of Kings Mountain. Inside were photos of the teller window.
itself on freshness and seasonality. The décor is unique, unlike any seen in Kings Mountain restaurants and exemplifies Hubbard’s flair in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy chef inspired meals. The restaurant is lovely, and from the comments left on 133 West’s Facebook page their guests wholeheartedly agree. Guest Amanda White wrote, “Everything was great! The restaurant looks amazing! Can’t wait to come back for brunch on Saturdays.” The restaurant is located at133 West Mountain St., Kings Mountain.
This fall thousands of students will leave their families and friends to attend Cleveland County Sheriff college. Alan Norman For many, it will be their first time away from home and also their first experience with total independence. It’s an exciting time and a dangerous one. Concerned with this safety issue, Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County urges college students to exercise caution when living on campus. Across the United States college campuses are increasing security measures by installing emergency call box systems designed to immediately contact a 911 operator. They are usually located in frequently traveled areas such as parking lots and main routes used to and from class. Another popular security measure involves
campus escorts. This program recruits qualified volunteers to walk students to and from class after dark. Security cameras and bright lighting are also being used to heighten campus safety. “College campuses are extremely vulnerable to crime because of their openness,” said Sheriff Norman. “It’s difficult to keep buildings and dorm rooms locked because people are constantly coming and going. Another contributing factor is that students tend to develop a false sense of security because of the seemingly peaceful surroundings.” Campus crimes can take many forms – theft, date rape, and drugs to name just a few. It’s impossible to avoid all dangers. However, Sheriff Norman has some suggestions on how college students can better protect and educate themselves through campus safety education. • Never post information as to your whereabouts on your dorm room door,
or on social media. If an intruder knows that you are away – it’s an open invitation for them to break in. • Even if leaving your room for only a few minutes – lock your door. • When studying in outof-the way places, inform campus security as to your whereabouts. • When meeting a study partner for the first time, make arrangements to meet in a public place. • Encourage campus security to establish a photo identification program to deter outsiders from entering school buildings. • Work with your local law enforcement to organize a safety education program to teach incoming students the do’s and don’ts of campus safety. • Familiarize yourself with emergency call box locations. • Learn to trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of it. Don’t allow anyone to violate your comfort zone.
