Property revaluation expected to begin in 2014 Property revaluation is coming and county commissioners will discuss the expected 2014 revaluation at a work session in April.

Commission Vice-Chairman Jason Falls of Kings Mountain said there has been some change in the real estate landscape since 2007

but there haven’t been “a lot of arms-length sales, “ he said.

Falls said the market has really slowed down in the last 4-5 years and there have been home foreclosures in Cleveland County.

He noted that as the economy worsened and the foreclosure-re-

CCS eyeing job cuts

lated sales climbed that commissioners in 2012 put off calling for a revaluation of county property for two years.

The state requires that such assessments be done at least once every eight years. The last revaluation was in 2007, effective in

2008.

Preliminary work on the revaluation is already underway at the Cleveland County Tax Office.

Chris Green and his staff are compiling data from prior years and developing a formula for tax values.

“We need to be prepared� says Boyles ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

Cleveland County Schools officials awaiting state and federal funding decisions could see job cuts in the 2013-2014 budget year.

But Supt. Dr. Bruce Boyles, in a budget address during the recent work session of the school board, said the system is not going to Dr. Bruce Boyles create a budget on what legislators may or may not do. “We are focusing our attention on the needs of our school system and the achievement of our system’s goals,’’ said Boyles. “It’s just something we need to be prepared for,’’ he said.

Boyles said the current proposed budget at the state level does not cut any teacher salaries but funding still goes through the N. C. General Assembly. He said the Governor’s state budget includes cuts for teacher assistants but no local positions have been identified. Teachers could lose tenure because of the Excellence in Teaching Act, charter schools could also come into play in the new year budget and Title I schools could face an 8 percent cut from federal money.

This year instead of worrying about the “fiscal cliff� school leaders are focusing attention on sequestration – mandated automatic across-the-board federal budget cuts.

Boyles said all federal education funding will be subject to the automatic reductions but they will be most apparent in programs like Title I and Title V1-B. These programs together are more than $8 million dollars for Cleveland County schools and an across the board reduction would exceed $600,000 per year.

Boyles said that the system made staffing adjustments early in the budget crisis last year and employees were spared the pain of either actual job losses or threats of job loss. The system implemented the classified salary equalization at the school level; increased certified supplements 10% for the second consecutive year; added curriculum technical coordinators; increased months of employment for Assistant Principals in the secondary schools; and added technology specialists with an ever increasing investment in instructional technology.

The process of attaching new values to properties all over Cleveland County is a challenge, Falls acknowledged.

Falls said the commission will also talk about goal-setting at its next work session.

Shriners provide help, hope for Toney family ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

Mark and Audrey Toney are grateful for the work of Shriners Hospitals for Children after adopting two special-needs orphans from China. “We wanted to adopt to help provide a forever home to children who might find placement a little more challenging,� said Audrey.

Nearly three years ago the Kings Mountain couple and their biological daughter, Allison, now 19, fell in love with the angelic face of Anna Grace, now 4, and were thrilled to learn that Shriners Hospital in Greenville, SC could help her receive the medical treatment she needed to correct a birth defect that kept her fingers from developing properly.

US 74 bypass finally set to begin in 2014 Workmen are expected to start moving dirt next year, working from West Shelby toward Kings Mountain, on the US 74 Bypass of Shelby which is tentatively scheduled for completion in 2030.

Meantime, commissioners from the counties of Polk and Rutherford adopted a resolution last week asking the Department of Transportation to study the possibilities of an interstate-style freeway network that would connect the mountains with the coast.

Cleveland County commissioners, after meeting with the two boards in Forest City, chose to put off adoption of the proposal for fur-

ther study. They may talk about the resolutions at the April work session. “We sure don’t want to throw a kink in the plan to get the road under construction,’’ said Commissioners Johnny Hutchins and Jason Falls.

A US 74 project has been in the works for more than 30 years as an alternate route around Shelby and for which construction is finally scheduled to begin in 2014.

Falls said that DOT officials said the portion of the new Bypass around Shelby is scheduled to be built to Interstate standards and the portion of highway West of Shelby to freeway standards.

Children got their photo taken with the Easter Bunny. Parents may pick up the photos at Walgreens at no cost.

Mauney Memorial Library, the YMCA, Walgreens, and Cleveland County Childcare Connections participated in the event.

Kevin Kollock, of WalMart Distribution Center, dressed as a chicken, was on hand to lead the children in singing and dancing.

Lilly Helton was the winner of the two and under category; Brayden Hosey was the winner of the three – five category, and Reagan Gaddy won the six and up category.

The damp, chilly air and threat of more rain Saturday morning didn’t deter a number of families in the Kings Mountain area from attending the annual, fun Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the City of Kings Mountain.

Hundreds of brightly-colored Easter eggs were scattered over two large areas of the Jake Early Sports Complex beside of YMCA on Cleveland Avenue in Kings Mountain.

The arrival of the Easter Bunny in the city’s fire truck signaled the start of the big scramble for eggs and the hunt for the three gold eggs offering big prizes.

Activities included a petting zoo, games, storytelling and other activities for the children. Son Ridge Farm and Whispering Hope Farm exhibited live rabbits, chickens, tiny goats, a pony, and alpaca, among others.

For the egg hunt, one gold egg was mixed in with the other eggs in each age category.

Inn of the Patriots holds Easter Egg Roll Monday was a beautiful, warm day for children to gather at the Inn of the Patriots in

Grover for the Annual Egg Roll and hunt.

The kids started out their morning with a sidewalk chalk competition. The winning masterpiece of the Easter Bunny, in front of a house, was drawn by Addie Knotts, 7, of Kings Mountain.

Next, several of the children had decorated wooden spoons for a competition. The winner of that contest would have their spoon displayed at the Inn. Matthew Morrow, 7, of Kings Mountain won the decorated spoon contest.

Finally, it was time for the egg-rolling contest. There were three groups of kids competing. Allie Corl, 5; Toby Zirbel, 9; and Gavin Tindal, 9 were the winners in each division. Toby Zirbel was the Grand Prize winner.

Area Beauty queens were on hand to help celebrate the occasion. They enjoyed chalk drawing with the kids. Summer Welch sang the National Anthem, and Hailey Rotenberry read a story.

And finally, an egg hunt was held on the back lawn of the Inn.

Dixon Presbyterian celebrates Easter Saturday afternoon turned out to be a beautiful day for an egg hunt and toss.

Children at Dixon Presbyterian Church had an afternoon full of fun and hot dogs with all the trimmings and desserts by the women of the church.

They started out the day making Easter eggs from yarn, glue and balloons. Inside each egg they put little Easter toys.

There were several different egg hunts depending on the age of the participants.

After lunch, the older children participated in an egg toss - a big success. They were surprised to discover that only a few eggs cracked opened when being dropped!

All children were provided with treat bags at the end of the afternoon of fun.

SHRINERS: offer help, hope to the Toney family From page 1A

MUSIC FEST: set for April 12-13 From page 1A four albums, made a full-length DVD, hosted a TV series and become one of the most often played bluegrass artists on Sirius-XM Radio.

Music Fest is a benefit for the Green Banana Project and all proceeds will be used to help instill hope in the lives of needy people in Cleveland and Gaston Counties. The Green Banana Project is a non-profit foundation founded by Wendy Isbell and her late husband, Ron, owners of The Kings Mountain Herald. Banner-News in Belmont and Cherryville Eagle.

By the time that he was 14 Jimmy Wayne, who grew up in Kings Mountain, had been in and out of the foster care system and attended 12 different schools in two years. His mother was in prison and he had only his older sister. It was not an easy life for a bright and gifted child. When he was 15 years old, he found himself in juvenile detention for running away from a group home. At 16, he was still surviving by his wits, and living on the streets, until one fateful day when he met Bea and Russell Costner. The older couple (they were in their 70’s when they met Jimmy) gave him a home, the ability to complete his education and encouragement and most of all, stability and love. “If the Costners hadn’t stepped up and given me a home, I would not have survived,’’ he said.

A much sought-after speaker, his live concert appearances are filled with energy and passion. Wayne is the youngest-ever recipi-

Darin and Brooke Aldridge (above) will perform both Friday and Saturday evenings of the Music Festival.

The Kingsmen Quartet (top photo) will perform Friday, April 12. ent of the Salvation Army’s William Booth Award. His 2002 breakthrough hit “Stay Gone� captivated country music fans and critics alike. “I Love You This Much� and “Paper Angels� soon followed. Wayne’s biggest hit to date was the No. 1 single, “Do You Believe Me Now.� He is a songwriter, a first-tier vocalist, an advocate and an activist.

Wayne is also the author of a work of fiction, “Paper Angels,’ which was inspired by his own life.

Tickets for the concerts are available at the Joy Performance Center Box Office, the Kings Mountain Herald, or on-line from TicketsNC.com or by phone at 704-4727762.

EXHIBIT: opens Saturday at the Depot From page 1A home to a unique gift shop.

Founded in 1920, the National Watercolor Society has a long history of continuing the tradition of offering opportunities to artists to show work, advance their education and be inspired to move forward in developing historical advancement in the medium. The NWS exhibition is an international endeavor. Global participation is expanding more every year and many more artists

than ever before are active on the international stage, participating in exhibitions in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Nationally, the NWS has made it part of their mission to make the annual traveling show available across the country in all types of locations sponsored by local galleries, societies and museums.

The Southern Arts Society, founded in 1984 by artist Alice Betty (AB) Mauney Snow and local artists, fosters love and appreciation for the arts. They also provide

visual art displays in the community, scholarships for local students and workshops open to all. “We always have a variety of classes offered throughout the year,� said Chappell and added, “We’re planning on having a number of workshops with some of the watercolorists, sharing their knowledge and expertise in this art medium.�

For additional information please visit SouthernArtSociety.org or call 704.739.5585.

Parkwood Baptist in Gastonia, and play with Anna Grace’s best friend, a cousin, Ella Toney. They will be homeschooled by their mother and already are learning quickly. Ask Anna Grace if she knows any Chinese words. She laughs and says a Spanish word. Easter Sunday they donned pretty dresses trimmed with flowers and attended church. Obviously the delightful girls like to have fun with new friends.

When the Toneys started praying about adoption, they learned the process to adopt a child from China took 1012 months. The wait didn’t deter their longing for the two little girls they adore. “Anna Grace had amniotic band syndrome, which kept her fingers from forming and adversely affected her right foot,� said Audrey. “Although we received recommendations to visit other specialists, it quickly became apparent that the Shriners Hospital was the only viable option to help her. Far from clinical, they let us know right away that they were there to improve Anna Grace’s quality of life.

From support staff to nurses to doctors, we felt their love and compassion from the moment we walked through the doors.�

Just a few years later they brought home another orphan from China and Maria Jane became a beautiful addition to the family. Also facing physical challenges due to hip problems, Maria Jane required specialist treatment in order to achieve the best long-term results. Although the Shriners Hospitals are currently not able to assist with Maria Jane’s specific issues, the Toneys feel extremely blessed to continue to utilize their expertise for Anna Grace. “She has another surgery scheduled for April 16 to separate the fusion of her right toes,� said her dad. “They’ve (Shriners Hospital) been phenomenal and truly the best experience

we’ve ever had at a hospital.

We aren’t a number with them. They know us by name and provide a place for us to stay together as a family.�

The family says the Shriners Hospitals have been instrumental in providing state-of-the-art care for Anna Grace, and they encourage local citizens to support the local White Plains Shrine Club as they host a barbecue fundraiser in Kings Mountain Saturday. “The monies raised at these events directly help families like ours,� Toney said. “If you believe in their cause, then make plans to stop by and buy some delicious barbecue. What starts out as a simple lunch or dinner for your family could result in a better quality of life for a child just like Anna,� he added.

Ricky Carroll is the current White Plains Shrine Club president and he believes the local tie with the Toney family helps spread the word about the incredible mission of the Shriners Hospitals for Children. “The citizens and businesses of our community, by supporting the barbecue, golf tournament and other local fundraisers, are the ones who make it possible for us to help Anna Grace and the thousands of other children who receive care at Shriners Hospitals,� Carroll said.

The barbecue is planned at the corner of York Road and Gold Street in Kings Mountain from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, and the club will be selling barbecue plates, chicken plates and

Boston Butts with all the fixings. Both dine in and carry out options will be available.

BBQ Butts with slaw and sauce are $35, barbecue plates for $8 include slaw, pickles, chips and bun.

Chicken half plates with half chicken, barbecue and fixings are $8. BBQ sandwiches are two for $6 and canned drinks are $1. The club is also planning to host its annual golf tournament fundraiser in June at Kings Mountain Country Club.

Shriners Hospitals for Children are committed to providing the highest quality care to children with neuromusculoskeletal conditions, burn injuries and other special health care needs within a compassionate family-centered and collaborative care environment. In addition, they aim to provide for the education of physicians and other health care professionals. They work to conduct research in order to discover new knowledge to improve the quality of care and quality of life for both children and families. Their mission is carried out without regard to race, color, creed, sex or sect, disability, national origin or ability of a patient or family to pay.

The White Plains Shrine Club is a family-oriented group of local individuals who are committed to raising funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children. Their motto is “Love to the Rescue- Kids Defy the Odds.�

For more information on the barbecue fundraiser, contact Ricky Carroll at 704300-7913.

Aime Westfall of Maiden also filed a civil suit. She said her son, Dominic, attended the Cleveland County fair Sept.

Both civil filings noted the two families incurred medical bills in the treatment of their sons. The two families seek more than $20,000.

A second family from Cleveland County, the Tallent family of Shelby, is seeking damages of half a million dollars from the N. C. State Fair for two-year-old Hunter Tallent who they said still receives medical treatment after a 2011 E. coli outbreak linked to the N. C. State Fair.

More than 100 people experienced E-coli related symptoms after the 2012 Cleveland County fair and a two-year-old Gaston County toddler died.

E-coli outbreaks at both the N.C. State Fair in 2011 and the Cleveland County fair in 2012 were linked by state health officials to petting zoos.

Riley Brock, center, signs to swim with the Lenoir Rhyne Bears. He is seated with his KMHS swim coach, Beth Calhoun, left, and his mother Tiffany Smith. Standing are KMHS athletic director Dustin Morehead, left, and assistant principal Mickey Morehead.

Riley Brock to swim for Lenoir-Rhyne Bears One season of competitive swimming has earned Kings Mountain High’s Riley Brock a scholarship to Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory.

Brock signed with the Bears last week at the KMHS media center.

Brock had always concentrated on football and track as his sports. He played two years of football at KMHS and one year in Tennessee and competed for the Mountaineers’ track team last season.

His friends Ethan Anderson and Austin Toney, who have also enjoyed tremendous success on the KMHS swim team, encouraged Brock to go out for swimming this season. He not only did well locally but made the All-Big South 3A Conference team and finished 14th in the state swim meet.

When he visited the LR campus, he knew he wanted to go there to further his education and swim career.

“I loved it there,” he said. “It just felt like a good fit.”

The Bears are NCAA Division II and compete in the Bluegrass Mountain Conference. They are coached by Paul Schiffel, who owns Catawba Valley Aquatics

Club and also serves as swim coach at St. Stephens High School in Hickory.

Brock grew up in Kings Mountain and played sports at Kings Mountain Middle School before moving to Tennessee for a year, where he played quarterback on the football team.

He moved back to Kings Mountain prior to his junior year. He backed up Jonathan Clark at quarterback and also played tight end.

“But I just fell in love with swimming,” he said. “I felt natural in the water. I felt like it was the sport for me.”

Brock said he pans to study Exercise Science at LR in hopes of becoming a Physician’s Assistant or Physical Therapist.

Before heading to LR, there is still a lot of swimming to be done. He swims six days a week at the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center in Huntersville.

He credits Mountaineer teammate Austin Toney, and assistant Mountaineer coach and former state champion Michael Allen for helping him develop his swimming talent.

Open Gate Garden Club hears gardening program

Wil Sellers pitches for Kings Mountain Mountaineeers in Big South 3A game at Lancaster Field

KM falls to N. Gaston, Crest in Big South 3A Crest broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the seventh inning to defeat Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers 2-1 in their final pre-Easter game Thursday night at Lancaster Field.

It was the second straight loss for the Mountaineers, dropping them to 2-3 in the Big South 3A and 4-5 overall heading into a game yesterday against Mallard Creek in the Shelby Easter Tournament. The Easter tournament continues through Friday and the Mountaineers will resume BSC action Tuesday, April 9 at home against the Forestview Jaguars.

Kings Mountain managed only one hit against Crest’s Nick Hastings. Andrew Moore singled in the fourth inning and

S E R V I C E

scored on an error.

The Chargers scored their first run in the first inning when Dustin Jones singled and later scored on a single by Jonathan Presnell.

Crest scored the winning run in the seventh. Tripp Hastings singled and stole second. On a steal of third base the umpire ruled that Hastings was interfered with by the KM third baseman and was awarded home.

Kings Mountain had its two-game conference winning streak snapped the previous Tuesday at North Gaston, 5-1.

Daniel Barrett had KM’s only extra base hit, a double. Garrett Lowery and A.J. Cook led the Wildcats with two hits each.

The Open Gate Garden Club met at the home of Lenora Morris on Wednesday, March 13. Refreshments were served to the nine members present.

Lenora welcomed everyone and called the meeting to order. The Club Collect was read in unison.

Dot Ham presented the program on Container Gardening. She told that Container Gardening is easy, but there’s more to it than just dumping a bunch of plants in a pot and walking away.

Containers, soil, and plant need a little bit of planning so that when you go to a garden center you will have all the “stuff” you need to get started.

Gardening in containers is an excellent solution when space is limited or you want to add a touch of color to an outdoor living space.

Generally, people only grow colorful annuals in containers but many fruits, vegetables, trees and shrubs also grow well in them.

The first thing to consider is selecting the appropriate container to fit your needs.

Containers are typically made of concrete, clay, molded foam or lightweight plastic.

You will need to consider if you plan to move your container or if you plan for it to be in a permanent location as this will determine what kind of container you will

need.

You will need a container that has adequate drainage holes which is important and you will also need to make sure the pot is elevated off the ground at least an inch.

The most important consideration for a successful container garden is choosing the appropriate soil. A quality soil will provide the correct drainage, fertilizer, organic matter and water holding ability. Also, when selecting a soil, consider what type of gardener you are.

The avid gardener will tend to plants regularly and keep up with all their needs, but the casual gardener may just want to enjoy the containers.

Next, you will need to choose plants for your container. First, decide the amount of sun the plants will receive and make your plant selections accordingly. Once you’ve planted your container garden, you must care for it or it won’t thrive.

The most important requirement is water. If the container size is matched with proper plant selection, the average container garden should be watered about three times a week. You will need to make sure not to over water, so check before you water.

Most potting soils contain slow release fertilizer, but if you keep trees or shrubs in

containers, these will need to be fertilized.

You will also need to prune some plants or deadhead them for better flowers and sometimes you will need to upgrade to larger containers or transplant the plants into the garden in the fall.

Betty Alexander gave the timely tips for the month of March: snapdragons, marigolds, petunias, violas, and dianthus can handle cool days. Wait for warm days to plant impatiens, basil and tomatoes. Vines offer vertical solutions for color, fragrance and shade on fences, arbors, and walls. Plant bareroot and potted roses now while the selection is best.

Roses prefer a sunny location.

Club members were reminded that dues are to be paid this month.

The minutes for February were passed to be read and approved.

Motions were made to make a donation to Hospice of Cleveland County, and to send a memorial for Glenn Roberts to Piedmont Eye Clinic.

Cards were sent to several club members with health issues.

Next month’s meeting will be April 10 at Boyce Memorial ARP Church with Margie Bridges as hostess and Betty Alexander will present the program.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Flemmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; auditions Sunday at KMLT Kings Mountain Little Theatre will hold auditions for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flemming, an American Thrillerâ&#x20AC;? by Sam Bobrick and directed by Georgianna Wright on Sunday, April 7, at 3 p.m., Monday and Tuesday, April 8 and 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Joy Performance Center. For information www.kmlt.org or call 704730-9408.

The play will feature parts for five men and three women.

The characters: Henry Flemming, our hero, an unassuming man in his mid40s; Karen Flemming, Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife in her late 30s; Stan Spencer, the Flemmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pain-in-the-neck neighbor in his mid-40s; Suzy Spencer, Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long suffering wife, in her mid 30s; Walter Larsen, Karenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, in his mid 60s; Lt. Davis, a plainclothes cop in his later 30s; Miss Havenhurst, a sweet young thing

who has had a tough life, in her late 20s; and Vito Mardigian, a tough, threatening hoodlum in his late 20s.

The Play: Bored by his privileged but mundane life, Henry Flemming sells his lucrative brokerage firm to become a detective. On his very first case, and to the horror of his two crazy neighbors, Suzy and Stan, the Flemming living room begins to fill up with dead

bodies. Karen is further annoyed when one of them turns out to be her father.

Even though Henry keeps showing up at home every day more disheveled and beaten up, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier. Henry is convinced heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and Westport, Connecticut is safer for it.

The play is a spoof of the film noir thrillers from the 1940s and 50s.
