On July 29, Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) introduced the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) Reauthorization Act of 2020, legislation to extend the authorization of BRNHA through 2036. “The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area plays an important role in Western North Carolina’s economy and protects the area’s beautiful landscapes and unique history,” said Senator Burr. “Last year, we secured authorization for BRNHA through 2021, but this legislation will go one step further and extend BRNHA’s authorization for 15 additional years. That way, millions of visitors each year can continue to enjoy all Western North Carolina has to offer.” “The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area, including the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great

Smoky Mountains, is so important to the Western North Carolina tourism industry, creating thousands of jobs and contributing billions of dollars to the local economy,” said Senator Tillis. “I am proud to have worked with Senator Burr on this important legislation to extend this program so we can continue to preserve and develop the unique culture of Western North Carolina.” The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) was created by Congress in 2003 to preserve and develop the distinctive culture of Western North Carolina and South Appalachia. It includes North Carolina’s 25 western-most counties and two of the state’s most visited National Parks, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Since 2003, BRNHA has awarded 173 grants totaling

curly black hair with blond highlights and also wore make-up. The suspect was driving a white in color SUV, possibly an older model Chevy Tahoe. Anyone who recognizes this description of the person of interest or has other information in regards to this case is encouraged to contact Det. T.D.

over $2.3 million, with $5.6 million leveraged in matching contributions from local and private investments. Additionally, BRNHA supports more than 30,000 jobs and has an annual total economic impact of $2.39 billion. In 2017, Senators Burr and Tillis introduced legislation to extend the BRNHA authorization through 2021. This legislation was reintroduced last year, and it was included in the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, which was signed into law on March 12, 2019. The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) Reauthorization Act of 2020 will go one step further by extending BRNHA’s authorization through 2036.

The three houses he designed in 1927-1928 are large, important residences for Gastonia and Kings Mountain businessmen.” It is suspected White also designed the Kings Mountain Graded School (Central) extension in 1924, according to Hood’s application. Past research also confirms that Bonnie Summers served as the city’s first woman principal at Kings Mountain Graded School in that timeframe. It is not known if White knew the Summers from that project or other projects in Gaston County. According to the Hood documentation, “The F. R. Summers House (#122) in Kings Mountain is similar in spirit; however, its appearance is very different. Its red brick elevations are heightened in tone by the rusty-red metal Casement windows and the rust and cream half timbering; fieldstone is used for the main chimney.” Elevation drawings of the F.R. Summers house were found in the Hugh Edward White family archives held by White’s son. “We were excited to find that Mr. White’s architectural drawings, and we now have copies. We have learned a lot about the house from those original drawings.”

The foyer has two hammered copper light fixtures that mirror the one in the dining room.

During the last two years, David Stone and his family have painstakingly restored the home. “The kitchen has seen the most work. All the electrical was knob and tube, which had to be replaced. Most of the home’s water, sewer, and electrical run into the house through the wall behind the kitchen range. So, we had to rip that wall out in the kitchen to get everything updated. After remodeling the kitchen, that work is hidden and other original plastered walls were preserved,” Stone said. “The front foyer had a boiler, which was removed. Doing so left a hole, which we have covered with a strategically placed piece of furniture. As for the new HVAC system, we used the original boiler vents for returns and avoided having to install modern vents in the hallways,” he said. “It also maintains the original look of the home.” There are several hammered copper light fixtures used throughout the house. “One was missing, but we found a replacement on eBay. Later, we found several others like it at the Mauney home. We aren’t sure why the family bought extras, but they really must have liked them,” Janet Stone commented. “The fireplace in the living room is just beautiful. We restored the fireplace and lined the flues so we can enjoy the fireplace when the weather is cool.

A New Beginning August is my birthday month. Just like in January, I reflect on my weaknesses and strengths from the previous year and look forward to walking in a new beginning. However, I also realize that none of us have to wait until the new year or our birthdays for a fresh start. The Bible says that God gives us something new every day. In Lamentations 3:19-23, the Prophet Jeremiah states, ”I remember something that fills me with hope. The LORD’s kindness never fails! If he had not been merciful, we would have been destroyed. The LORD can always be trusted to show mercy each morning.” Sometimes the chaos of this world and the problems we are facing seem like they will never end. God wants us to take our eyes off of the situation and focus on him. He has great things prepared for those who love him. Apostle Paul states in I Corinthians 2:9, “But it is just as the Scriptures say, what God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!” He is willing and able

to turn our mess into a masterpiece for his glory, turn our misery into ministry to others, and turn our dry places into a spring of living water from his Spirit. Nothing is impossible for God and DANYALE PATTERSON he makes all things new: “But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 “The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” - Isaiah 58:11 “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.” - Job 42:2 “Jesus looked at them intently and

said, “For humans this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” - Mathew 19:26 PRAY THIS PRAYER: “I will praise you at all times Father. I will constantly speak your praises. I come before your presence with thanksgiving. Today is a new day full of new mercies. Thank you, Lord. I am grateful that I do not have to live in the past. I trust you for a new beginning. No matter what problems I am facing or the troubles that are in this world, my hope and expectancy are in you. One word from you can change the impossible to possible. You are more powerful than any act of humanity, nature, or satanic force. I love you and I know that you love me! In Jesus’ name I pray - Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

From Page 1 said Dellinger. “When we reopened we wanted to celebrate our 130th anniversary, so we had a 50% off sale and the community response was absolutely tremendous.” Dellinger hopes that all of the businesses in downtown Kings Mountain can rebound and he looks forward to seeing the downtown area grow into a hub of dining, shopping, events and festivals.

Shelby Amateur Radio Club cancels 2020 Shelby Hamfest but stays connected during COVID-19 restrictions Amid the COVID-19 Restrictions, schools, businesses and even civic groups have had to modify schedules and methods of meeting. The Shelby Amateur Radio Club is no different than other groups trying to adapt to the “new” and hopefully temporary “normal”. The Shelby Amateur Radio Club has had to cancel its 64th Annual Shelby Hamfest which was scheduled to be held at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds on Labor Day Weekend. The club made their decision during its June 9th meeting. The decision was a very somber moment as this is the first time in the club’s 64 year history that it’s had to cancel the Shelby Hamfest. Many members were in tears as the decision was made but the decision was made due to safety concerns, restrictions and the continued spread of the COVID-19 Virus. This event brings 1000’s of amateur radio and electronic enthusiasts from all over the U.S and several other countries to the Shelby Area. The club plans to hold a special event on-the-air on the weekend that would have been the 64th Annual Shelby Hamfest. This special event is called Shelby Hamfest At Home COVID

19 Edition. The club hopes to connect and talk with the many patrons who will miss this year’s hamfest. Plans are already underway for the 2021 Shelby hamfest. The Club has made many decisions that are keeping members in touch with one another during this time. The club normally meets at the former Red Cross Building in Shelby on the Second Tuesday of each month at 7PM. Since April, the club has been meeting via the ZOOM meeting platform on the internet. The club also had to modify their operating plans for the ARRL Field Day held in June. Rules were waived that allowed members to operate from home during the event and accumulate a club score. ZOOM was also used to allow members to connect during the event. The club has held weekly on-the-air meetings known as NETS on their repeaters for more than 50 years. This year, in addition to the Monday, Friday & Sunday VHF Emergency Nets, the club has added a Traders Net which allows operators who want to sell, buy and trade amateur radio equipment to connect with others. It has been very popular among amateur radio operators across the region with check-ins from as far

away as Charlotte, Waynesville, Spartanburg and Savannah GA. On July 19, 2020 the club held its first Prayer Net, during this net, the net control takes prayer requests from other operators and then prays at the end of the net. There are so many activities that amateur radio operators can participate in, even with the restrictions. For instance an amateur radio operator can connect with someone across the world with just 100 watts (radio) and a wire. Shelby Amateur Radio Club members enjoy many aspects of the hobby and those include but aren’t limited to Emergency Communication, contesting, radio control airplanes, rag chewing (having long conversations), experimenting with mesh networks, Parks-on-the-air, QRP Operation (5 Watts or less), CW (Morse Code), Digital Modes and transmitter hunting. If you’re interested in how you can become an amateur radio operator or you’re an amateur radio operator looking for a club full of mentors and friendly people then please contact secretary@ shelbyhamfest.org. You can find more information about the club at www.shelbyarc.org and more about the Shelby Hamfest at www.shelbyhamfest.org.

Six sites fail swim guide results for Broad River Broad Riverkeepers released Friday, that on July 24, Buffalo Creek at Kadesh Church Road, First Broad at Grover Street, Broad River Greenway, First Broad at Double Shoals, Paul & Elsie Matthews Overlook, and Chimney Rock River Park failed Swim Guide Results, according to the EPA limit for E.coli in recreational waters. Each Thursday evening throughout the spring, summer and fall, the Broad Riverkeeper releases new, upto-date bacteria monitoring results for six monitoring sites at public access points within the Broad River Basin. Results are posted to the Swim Guide website at theswimguide.org – the public’s best resource for knowing which streams and river recreation areas are safe to swim in, and which have failed to meet safe water quality standards for bacteria pollution. The Swim Guide lists each

testing site as either passing or failing according to the EPA limit for E.coli in recreational waters of 235 cfu (or colony forming units) per 100 milliliters. The results from testing on Wednesday, July 22, showed three of the nine sites at clean levels well under the EPA standard for health. The sites that met the EPA standard for E.coli are as follows:

• Lake Lure Swim Beach •Moss Lake at New Camp Creek •Broad River at Coxe Rd. Six sites did not meet the EPA standard for E.coli. Rain causes more bacteria to flow into our waterways through urban and agricultural runoff, which is most likely why these E.coli readings are higher than last week. The sites are as follows:

Thomas Kelly Pauley recently worked with York County, SC Historian Zach Lemhouse to contribute artwork to a Special Edition of The Southern Edge magazine, published by The South Carolina National Historic Corridor. The Historic Corridor, designated in 1996, is a geographic area stretching across 17 counties, running North to South and

dedicated to Preservation, Conservation and Environmentally Educational Programs in South Carolina. “I'm proud to contribute to anything that involves their good works,” said Pauley “The information in this issue of The Southern Edge, establishes the tremendous contribution and sacrifices made by people of the South Carolina region during the Revolutionary War, with

over 200 battles and skirmishes fought here, making it the most active Colony engaging the British during the course of the war,” he said.

Ecoli bacteria makes its way into our rivers and streams from sewer/septic leaks and stormwater runoff – especially runoff from animal agricultural operations with substandard riparian buffers. E.coli can also indicate the presence of other more harmful microbes, such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Shigella, and norovirus. Heavy rains and storms often result in spikes in E.coli contamination, increasing the risk to human health.

CITY OF KINGS MOUNTAIN NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING August 18, 2020 – 5:30 PM CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CITY HALL CASE NO. VA- 1- 7 – 20 – Requested Variance of Setback requirements Joel K. Hargis of Baker Donelson on behalf of Verizon Wireless is requesting a Variance on interpretation of City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance - Article VIII- Special Restrictions SR 19 (l) concerning setback requirements. The proposed 175’ monopole tower is setback approximately 25’ from the northern and western parcel boundaries. To mitigate the concerns with the tower not meeting the 75% of tower height setback, the tower has a 25’ engineered fall zone-radius so that in the event of tower failure, it should fall entirely within the parent parcels. The requested variance is 106.25 feet (75 percent of 175 feet –is 131.25 feet less 25 foot setback equals 106.25 feet.) The location is 500 South Railroad Ave, Kings Mountain. The proposed wireless communications tower is to be located on property zoned Light Industrial and said property is surrounded by other industrial properties. This property is also identified as Cleveland County parcel 13268. A copy of the application may be obtained at the Planning Department or you may call 704-734-4595 for additional information. You are welcome to attend the Board of Adjustment hearing at 5:30 pm to express your opinion on the above case. CASE NO. CUP-1-7-2020- Request for Conditional Use Permit for location of a Cellular Tower Joel K. Hargis of Baker Donelson on behalf of Verizon Wireless has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for Verizon Wireless Cell Phone Tower under the provisions of the Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance for Light Industrial – Textile Plant & Tower Site, Special Restrictions SR19 Radio, Television or Communication Towers. The property is located at 500 South Railroad Ave and is also identified as Tax Map Km10, Block 4, Lot 2 – Cleveland County parcel 13268. To receive a conditional use permit the applicant/property owner must comply with all requirements of the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance. The Board of Adjustment reviews the permit request under the quasi-judicial process. The zoning administrator has determined upon discussion with the UNC School of Government that the variance petition (Case NO VA1-7-20) would be reviewed first. If the variance is granted then the conditional use permit Case No. CUP 1-7-2020 would be reviewed as submitted. If the variance is not granted, then the Conditional Use Permit application will need to be amended showing compliance with all requirements of the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance. Social distancing and face masks required.

PERMIT From Page 1 Department before starting any project to find out if a building or zoning permit is required. Building and zoning laws are set by the State of North Carolina and municipalities have adopted those laws into local ordinances. To find out if a project requires a permit, contact the City of Kings Mountain’s Building Codes Department at 704734-4599. Obtaining a permit helps ensure that work being performed meets building code standards. “It’s for your safety and protection,” said Clint Houser, Director of City of Kings Mountain’s Building Codes Department, “For example: if you are building a deck, it’s important that the deck be structurally sound so that no one is injured by substandard work.” Permit applications are available online at the City of Kings Mountain’s website – www.cityofkm.com, under Your Government, then click on Code Enforcement. The direct link to the permit application is: https:// www.cityofkm.com/154/Permit-Applications-Forms

Permits can be obtained by emailing the application to the email address on the application - tammy.scruggs@ cityofkm.com. Permit applications can also be submitted in person to the City of Kings Mountain’s Building Codes Department, located at 1013 N. Piedmont Avenue in Kings Mountain. “We can usually fulfill a residential permit on the same day that an application is submitted,“ said Houser, “but certainly within one to three days.” Anyone who fails to obtain a permit before a job begins will pay a penalty fee equal to twice the cost of the permit. “We want to make sure that homeowners know that a permit may be needed for certain types of home repairs and improvements,” added Houser. “Doing unpermitted work on your home, can invalidate warranties and cause issues when reselling a home.” For more information about obtaining residential building and zoning permits, please contact the City of Kings Mountain’s Building Codes Department at 704734-4599.

Mountaineer football “touch” practices begin

Kings Mountain was able to get its first “touch” practice underway Tuesday morning at John Gamble Stadium. The NCHSAA approved touching the football beginning Monday, but Monday’s workout was canceled because of the weather. Backs, receivers and kickers are shown in these photos working out on the new Gamble Stadium turf.
