KM councilman will continue to push for citizen rights Kings Mountain city councilman Keith Miller said this week he will continue to seek a “legitimate constitutional pathway to protect the citizens of North Carolina from the abridgment of their rights.�

Portions of a resolution, sponsored in the NC House of Representatives by two Rowan County legislators and written by Miller entitled “A Joint Resolution to Proclaim the Rowan County, North Carolina Defense of Religion Act of 2013� were constitutionally questioned, Rep .Tim Moore (R) of Kings Mountain told The Herald this week.

Rowan County officials are being sued by the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina accusing commissioners of violating a First Amendment ban on establishment of religion by routinely praying to Jesus Christ to start its meeting.

Moore said the Speaker’s Office in the N.C. General Assembly has said the bill will not move in its current form.

Some have interpreted the resolution to establish an official state reli-

gion in North Carolina. The two sponsors of the bill and the author said that was never the intent.

Miller said this week he is Keith Miller obtaining legal Ward 5 Councilman opinions from nationally recognized constitutional attorneys and when that is complete he will present it to the N. C. House leadership. “If it turns out that there is a legitimate constitutional pathway to protect the citizens of North Carolina from the abridgment of their rights I am confident our elected officials will stand with the people and do what is necessary and prudent,’’ said Miller. He added, “I am grateful that our elected officials care about this important issue and want to proceed wisely.�

Miller suggests readers can find out background information on the Defense of Religion Act on line at www.theDORAinitiative.org and www.if-I-were president.com.

Soldiers stationed in Afghanistan can relate to home with the three containers of kitchen hoods shipped from Kings Mountain’s Kitchen Ventilation Systems LLC. Plant Manager Bill Cowen said the company has also helped with ventilation projects aimed at increasing energy efficiency to battleships and military operations, among other uses.

Greenheck brand fans and ventilators, centrifugal and vane axial fans, exhaust systems, indoor air handling units and coils are shipped around the globe.

The local plant has recently completed a 100,000 square foot addition to its existing industry for production of makeup housetempered air fans, a green product the company is marketing.

Work on the building went up quickly. Choate Construction was construction contractor.

Kitchen Ventilation Systems, a Division of Schofield, Wis.based Greenheck Fan Corporation, is located at 212 Commerce Blvd. “Business has been good,�

Cowen said Monday. Ten people work in the new addition and 45 people work in the adjoining in-

dustry. “We’re only using half of the new space now but with future expansion of this product line we will need all of it.�

Cowen said the company has an investment of $7.8 million in Cleveland County and expects to add 50 more employees in the next three years.

Greenheck Fan was started in 1946, by brothers Bob and Bernie who decided one day to put a fan together. It worked and the parent company has 2,000 employees with similar plants in the U.S., China and India.

Greenheck, a leading manufacturer of air movement and control equipment, expanded its operation here in June 2012 to create 62 jobs. The project was made possible in part by a $150,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. The jobs are skilled labor such as machine operators, welders, and employees trained in assembly type jobs. “Greenheck Fan and Kitchen Ventilations continues to thrive and grow,� said Mayor Rick Murphrey.

their culinary skills outside of barbecue in two categories – dessert and non-dessert – which can include shrimp and steak, for instance. Firemen say there are promises of many exotic desserts.

Grills will be smoking on Friday as contestants prepare BBQ butts, beef brisket, chicken and ribs. Concessions will also be available both Friday and Saturday, and Southern Experience will play from 7-10 p.m. Friday night. The Anything Butt competition judging starts at 7:30 p.m.

We want to honor them at the Patriots Memorial Monument at Patriots Park and place their names on the other panels of the wall,� said Mayor Rick Murphrey.

The Vietnam Memorial section was dedicated during a ceremony at the Veterans Day observance in November 2012.

The city has collected names from other Cleveland County monuments, recollections of family members and the Veterans Association records.

King murder trial opened Tuesday Kings Mountain’s Jerry and Jane King and their family may soon get justice in the stabbing death of Michael and Thelma King in St. Maarten, a small Dutch territory of the Caribbean.

The murder trial opened Tuesday and may be over today (Wednesday) since under the Dutch system the case will be presented to a judge who will render a verdict likely in May. If convicted, Meyshane Kemar Johnson, a 28year-old Jamaican, Jeremiah Chevon Mills, 17, and Jamal Jefferson Woolford, 20-year-old Guyanese, could face life in prison.

Thelma King, 57, was found tied to a chair and Michael King, 53, was lying on the floor, partially over an overturned chair, on Sept. 21, 2012 in their beachfront condo in what police say was a robbery gone bad.

Do you need a ‘furever’ friend?

A sad face at Animal Control can become happy face at Clifford’s Army Rescue Extravaganza Saturday, April 13!

The second annual Clifford’s Army Rescue Extravaganza will be held Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Shelby.

The Cleveland County Animal Control takes in close to 7,000 dogs and cats each year with no budget for medical needs and Clifford’s Army Rescue Extravaganza (CARE) was born last year after a series of

events in Kings Mountain when two stray dogs got into a fight and both dogs ended up at the shelter with the Golden Retriever named Clifford fighting for his life. The dog had suffered septic shock from the wounds and with no veterinarian on the staff at the shelter the dog was taken to a vet’s office, pulled through, and was adopted by a family.

The Clifford Fund is managed by the Humane Society, a group of concerned animal lovers who made it their mission to start raising money for a fund to help animals like the big, loveable Clifford.

Catherine Lane and 103.7 WSOC FM, Southern Experience, Geezers, and the Good Graces, Off the Wall Entertainment for the children, Clifford’s Obstacle Course rescues, vendors, low cost micro chipping, zumbathon, poker run, live auction, exhibitions by the Sheriff Department K9s, ClifMany cats and dogs are waiting for adoption at CC Animal Control.

CC Democrats’ annual convention set for Saturday Statesville attorney David P. Parker will keynote Cleveland County Democrats’ annual convention, to be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 13, in the auditorium of the county office building at 130 S. Post Rd. in Shelby.

A “Carolina Country Breakfast” fundraising event will be held just beforehand from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the same site, honoring longtime Democratic leader Mary S. Accor of Grover.

Parker is one of the state’s best-known Democrats. His three decades of party work reach from his days as a local precinct chair to managing a U.S. Senate campaign, to his just-concluded term as chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.

Parker’s experience and typically entertaining and energizing speaking style will underscore the convention theme, said Nick Carpenter of Shelby, county party chair.

That theme is “The future is ours to shape”—looking particularly toward the 2014 general election when Democratic candidates will be on the ballot for the U. S. Senate, state legislature, and local offices such as county commissioner and sheriff.

“We’ll come out of convention organized and ready to start on the new campaign cycle,” Carpenter said. Key business agenda items are the election for two-year terms of local party officers and county members of the NCDP state Executive Committee. Also to be elected are county delegates to the 10th Congressional District Democratic convention, to be held May 10 in Shelby.

Voting at the convention will be those elected delegates at Democratic precinct meetings held earlier this month.

However, Carpenter said, all interested registered Democrats living in the county are eligible and encouraged to attend, and the annual conven-

tion is typically a festive gathering of elected officials, experienced and new volunteers, and Mary Accor party leaders past and present. There is no cost to attend.”If you’re interested in k n o w i n g David Parker more or volunteering to advance our party’s ideals, come to convention and sign up,” he said.

The convention also will feature Democrats’ annual auction of items contributed by party members, typically including home-baked cakes and cookies, plants, and crafts.

The year all the proceeds will go to the Democratic Women of Cleveland County, handling arrangements for the sale.

The general public is invited to attend the pre-convention Carolina Country Breakfast honoring Mary Accor. The cost is $20 per person for the meal, payable at the door. Advance reservation is not required but highly recommended to ensure a place.

Reservations may be made online at www.clevelanddems.com or by contacting the CCDP secretary by phone at 704.457.9840 or email at ccdpartysec@gmail.com.

The breakfast program will pay tribute to Ms. Accor for

more than 30 years’ leadership in education, local government, and community stewardship. She retired in October 2012 as director of the office of school readiness for the Cleveland County School System, concluding a lifelong educational career in posts from teacher to principal to administrator. Ms. Accor also served 15 years on the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, including terms as vice chair and chair, and is a former president of the N. C. Association of County Commissioners. She’s an active member of St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church, serving as deaconess and teacher.

“Mary has always seen ‘servant leadership’ as a calling she describes as putting others before self,” said Todd Hagans of Kings Mountain, county party treasurer handling event preparations. “A milestone is a good time to recognize and appreciate,” Hagans added, “even as Mary’s calling continues and so will her contributions in the years ahead.”

ford’s canine cutie contest, coloring contest, Office Max Pet Photo booth and much more will be featured for the public on Saturday. Food can be purchased from Smokin’ Mountain Boys BBQ. Last year the event raised $5200 and the goal this year is to double that amount. The Clifford Fund has treated over 100 dogs taken to vets’ offices, sent medicines to Animal Control and bought 20 koruna beds to get some of these animals off the concrete floor. Thirty beds have been donated by A Kinder Life, and local citizens have purchased eight more beds. The goal is 64 beds.

CARE volunteers got permission to take pictures of dogs and cats and published pictures on Facebook and many animals were adopted. Officials said the euthanization

Spring Fling at KM Historical Museum The Kings Mountain Historical Museum will feature its annual daylong Spring Fling Saturday, April 13 at 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. This year’s fling will include living history demonstrations from the 38th North Carolina Civil War re-enactment group. Other events for the day include a performance by the Log Cabin String Band and a reading of Civil War letters by Joy W. Sparrow from the book Sparrows’ Nest of Letters, edited by Joy W. Sparrow at 10:30am.

The Log Cabin String Band performs old time southern string band music that dates to the decades between the Civil War and WWII. The group draws heavily on its Appalachian musical heritage performing traditional fiddle tunes, ballads, breakdowns, and novelty songs.

Quote of the week...

I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.

What can the BEA do for you?

The Cleveland County Chamber is a not-for-profit organization supported by membership dues of area businesses that support its efforts to Michael Chrisawn improve the community and enhance President, CC Chamber the business environment.

The Chamber is involved in a variety of programs designed to aid our members and in turn make Cleveland County a better place to live, work and play. The Chamber has programs that monitor the legislative actions of our state and federal Governments, programs that give our members opportunities to expand their businesses, and programs that help broaden the economic base of the community.

One program that is very important to the future of our community is the Business Education Alliance – BEA for short.

The BEA is designed to bridge the gap between what the school system is teaching and what skill sets the business community needs from the school’s graduates. One of the skills that many of our businesses say they find lacking in recent high school graduates is what we refer to as soft skills.

Soft skills relate to a person’s ability to interact effectively with coworkers and customers and are broadly applicable both in and outside the workplace.

Skills such as problem solving, work ethic, communication skills, time management abilities, flexibility and adaptability are some of the “soft skills� that are important to employers. In an effort to impress the importance of these attributes on our high school students, the BEA has produced a short video in which employers and job seekers talk about the importance of these skills. Through the good graces of several sponsors the BEA has made this video available to all classes in grades 7 – 12. It will be accompanied by lesson plans that will help the teachers utilize the video to its fullest.

If you would like to view the video, log on to the BEA website at www.ccsbea.org/.

While you are on the BEA website take a look at the other information available for our students and the various activities undertaken by the BEA. It’s critical that we make sure our children have the necessary skills to compete in a world economy.

This is just one of the efforts your Chamber is making to insure a good work force for area employers.

Sequester Woes Recently the Pentagon announced that the Blue Angels would have to stop their air shows due to budget cuts.

If any of you don’t know, the Blue Angels are an elite group of Beauford Burton U.S. Navy Pilots that fly close Guest Editorial quarter acrobatics for special events, and to promote the Naval Aviation skills.

I feel somewhat qualified to write on this subject because I spent 4 years in the Navy working as an Aviation Electrician and was able to see the Blue Angels perform on more than one occasion. Even though I was not connected in any way to the group I still felt a since of pride when I saw them fly. They maneuvered those jets in formation at every angle possible and frequently just feet off the runway, wingtip to wingtip. They are remarkable.

But, this is really about the sequester and the budget.

If programs like the Blue Angels have to be cut in order to save millions then we should suffer the pain and do it without fanfare it is my belief that other less desirable programs could be cut instead but I’m sure eventually we will get to those programs that are special to someone or some group. That’s why some of the things we spend on are referred to as special interests and should be cut.

For those who disagree and think a program such as the Blue Angels is too important for the future enlistment of Navy pilots, or too important to history, consider this: we have the technical ability to show videos of the Angels past performances in schools, museums and on history television. Many more could see them than could attend the shows.

To me, it’s obvious that programs not essential to our defense have to be put into prioritized listing, and cuts have to be made to those items first that have the least damaging consequences to us as a whole.

Others have said this, but a good example to cut is the free cell phones that are obviously not free to the taxpayer and not necessary to the overall welfare of our citizens. Another good example is the study of the democracy of goldfish. One more is the study of reproductive organs of waterfowl. The list could go on and on but I’m sure you get the picture.

Any government expenditures, including the Blue Angels, that are cosmetic only, should be considered for funding cuts. Our economic health is much more important.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor: I have been reading Pastor Jeff’s column for the past month. I look forward to reading it each week.

I believe our local papers should print more articles like this.

Main Street is vital to the health and vitality of our community

We all know where our Main Streets are, but do we know what they are and why they matter?

Jan Harris Whether they are named First Av- Main Street Director enue or Water Street or Battleground Avenue, King Street, Mountain Street or Railroad Street, what they represent is universal. Main Street is the economic engine, the big stage, the core of the community.

Our Main Streets tell us who we are and who we were, and how the past has shaped us. We do not go to bland suburbs or enclosed shopping malls to learn about our past, explore our culture, or discover our identity. Our Main Streets are the places of shared memory where people still come together to live, work, and play.

This, in a nutshell, is what the Kings Mountain Main Street Advisory Board, its Committee members, and supporters are striving to do – to support, encourage, foster, and preserve the small businesses, unique sites and shops, and the character and heritage of Downtown Kings Mountain. Because Main Street is a place that matters, revitalization and comprehensive management is essential to the health and vitality of our community.

Main Street is an incremental and comprehensive program of economic revitalization mixed with historic preservation. Since 1977 when a three-year Main Street Project was launched to reverse the deterioration of downtown buildings until today, where over 2,000 communities share information and best practices, Main Street has been making a difference – one step at a time.

Kings Mountain became a North Carolina Main Street City in 2009. At that time, the program was managed by the Mountaineer Partnership, Inc. In 2012, the Main Street program was reformed as a department of the City of Kings Mountain but with roots still firmly planted in the private sector community.

The Main Street program in Kings Mountain is truly a public-private partnership. A 10-member board of directors made up of five city department heads and five members of the Kings Mountain business community was appointed by the city council to advise the program. The four Main Street committees: Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Restructuring are chaired by department heads whose areas of expertise most closely align to that particular committee.

As we enter our first full budget year under the city’s umbrella, the Kings Mountain Main Street Program is fleshing out projects and programs under the four committees, designed to bring about positive outcome and increased economic stability in the downtown area.

Some are already underway.

One such project under the Organization Committee is the quarterly Rise & Shine Breakfast. The first was held March 26 in the library’s community room and brought together over 20 business/building owners and non-profit managers to learn more about the Main Street program and to network with each other.

Organization is also in the process of developing a See MAIN STREET, 7A

Does your health affect your ability to do your job?

I n this day and age everyone is aware of t h e m a n y benefits Lauren M. Thomas of being Client Service Manager, healthy.

Bayada Home Health One asCare, Gastonia office. p e c t often not considered however, is the impact of an individual’s health and weight on their job and their ability to perform their job duties.

More importantly, how is the health of our health care providers? Over the past decade the need for in-home health care has greatly increased. This has tremendously increased the need for health care professionals who are able to provide nursing and home health aide services to thousands of individuals in the home. More often than not, this requires our health care providers to work around the clock, and provide care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

According to the American Nurses Association there are over 3 million registered nurses working in the United States alone. The American Heart Association estimates that over 148 million people over the age of 20 are overweight or obese. Given the current statistics, if the growth of obesity continues, health care costs related to obesity have potential to reach over $800 billion by 2030. The rapid increase in obesity in our country, com-

bined with a rise in overall health care directly impacts both hospitals and home health care companies.

There is demand for highly trained individuals to provide this care; and as a result of long hours, shortages of health care providers, and with more demands on these providers, it is more important than ever for nurses to be healthy.

Every day both nurses and home health aides help people recover from a surgery or an illness, take care of them day and night and ultimately help them maintain a healthier lifestyle. Despite their tireless efforts to help their patients be healthy, the concern for our health care providers’ health and, more specifically, their weight is rarely ever considered. The average person should take 10,000 steps every day for optimal health and to maintain a healthy weight. Nurses on average are taking anywhere between 8,000-15,000 steps each day while working.

This amount of activity theoretically requires a health care provider to be fairly healthy, but this is not always the case.

I recently had the opportunity to talk to Heather Kuzara, RN, Director of the BAYADA Home Health Care Simulation Training Lab in Charlotte. As a registered nurse with several years of experience both in the field and managing patient care as a clinical director, Heather knows firsthand how much an individual’s

weight can impact their job.

We discussed her weight loss journey and the impact her health has had on her job over the last few years.

Heather shared with me that being a nurse of any type, and even managing nurses for a home health care company requires a great deal of energy and that over all, optimal health is a huge benefit. “In April of 2011, I had gastric bypass surgery. Prior to my surgery per my insurance company I had to complete an extensive, medically managed weight loss program. As a result of both the six month program and my surgery, I was able to successfully lose over 100 pounds,� explained Heather, whose health both physically and mentally changed drastically as a result of her weight loss. “I was always very active as a child and teenager, and although my job required a lot of activity, prior to my surgery I was anything but active. I often struggled with my daily tasks and found myself exhausted at the end of each day. Ultimately, my energy level was greatly impacted. I was able to lose the physical weight, but more importantly I was able to increase my activity and as a result my energy level increased. This increase helped me perform several if not all of my job duties better.�

The daily physical and emotional stress that health care providers face also has a tremendous impact on their ability to perform their job

KING: Murder trial opened Tuesday From page 1A Jerry King said it’s been a lot for the family, dealing not only with the deaths but the legal proceedings as well. But he said that Michael’s brother being there is like carrying the torch for them and carrying their wishes and dreams forward.

Michael and Thelma King lived in Mount Pleasant, SC, but were part time residents of the island where they had bought a home and invested in rental property and in a rum business. On their last trip to the island

Michael and Thelma King the couple had visited the Kings Mountain Kings and

Jerry had taken them to Charlotte Douglas Airport.

WANTED: names of soldiers killed in action From page 1A “We are finding different listings of those killed in action and finding that there are soldiers named on one list but not another. It’s been a little confusing but with the public’s help, I am sure that no soldier will be overlooked for recognition,� added Ellis Noell, Public Relations/Special Events Director.

The city hopes to be able to dedicate the WWII and Korean War segments in time for a ceremony during the Memorial Day observance on Monday, May 27. These men are part of the reason the name Patriots Park was established, to honor our patriots who fought and died for our freedoms. The current list established includes WWII and Korea. Individuals who can confirm or add any additional information on those or any WWI combat deaths are asked to contact City Hall

at 704-734-0333.

The city has these names of Korea veterans killed in action: Billy Owens, Harvey Lawson, Dan Brevard Lail, Ralph Whetstine, Rufus G. Huffstickler, Pickney Roberts, and Johnny Alexander Millin.

The list of WWII veterans killed in action: Johnny William Blackwell, John C. Bridges, Earle E. Carpenter, James Gideon Darracott Jr., Moffett D. Davis, Robert Lee Falls, Marvin Foster, Howard B. Gantt, Roy E. Harmon, Jacob C. Huffstetler, Harold D. Jackson, Horace E. Lantham, Winfield F. Long, Sidney E. Lovelace, Felmer L. Lynn, J. C. Medlin, William Robert Millen Jr., Walter Manly Moorhead, Lester Pinkney Moss, James Calvin Nickels III, Robert Earl Owens, Howard L. Phipps, Colon B. Reynolds, William F. Smith Jr. and John C. Stewart.

duties. Often, nurses will be the source of emotional support for their patients in addition to providing their physical care. Heather explained how the demands of her job affected her mood, and how her struggles with her weight impacted her while working. “For me, losing weight was far more than just about my physical health. My mood and demeanor changed drastically after becoming healthier. I had more energy and my mood was much more positive. I was able to accomplish all of my job related tasks without feeling exhausted and could see a significant difference in my ability to manage my stress. In home health care, managing stress is a large component of the job for everyone. When I was struggling with my weight I felt less confident, and my over all morale was not where it needed to be,� she shared.

Home health care in particular is constantly changing and evolving, which requires our health care providers to constantly improve and grow their skills set, learn new techniques, and constantly adapt to their changing environment. The healthier the nurse, mentally and physically, the easier it is for them to adapt to these changes.

Earlier this year, Heather’s role changed when she transitioned from being a director of a BAYADA service office, to taking on the role of the new Simulation Training Lab (SIM). According to Heather, Simulation Training uses advanced software to generate realistic patient emergency scenarios on state-of-the-art adult and pediatric mannequins that present realistic symptoms such as breathing, crying, eyes that open and blink, heart and respiratory sounds. The Lab allows the nurse to practice responding to medical emergencies in a safe, controlled environment, providing the training needed to perform these skills on ac-

tual patients in the home environment.

Heather’s role as the Simulation Lab Director is constantly evolving, she is not only learning new techniques herself, but she is then teaching health care providers these techniques for seven or more hours a day. Heather explained to me how her role as the Simulation Lab Director has challenged her in her role as a nurse. “The Simulation lab is where we are able to simulate patient scenarios for our field staff and patients’ families. Individuals are able to come into the lab and go through exercises on high fidelity mannequins so they have an opportunity for oneof-a-kind hands on training.� “Every day I run the computers in the lab, and am constantly moving around, helping teach individuals, doing hands on work. My weight loss has tremendously impacted the success of the SIM lab because I am now able to work eight hours a day teaching critical techniques to our nurses and families. If I were exhausted or had mobility issues, this process would be nearly impossible.�

Heather has a unique opportunity to not just teach nurses how to take care of their patients, but to demonstrate just how rigorous a nurse’s job duties can be during a shift. In addition to juggling all of the tasks for the SIM Lab, Heather is a mother of two, and like many working parents she doesn’t have an opportunity to rest or slow down after leaving the office. “Becoming healthier has affected my home life. My family has seen my journey and how the little things like managing stress and my energy levels affect me as both a mom and a nurse.�

Every day millions of people struggle with their health, and their weight. As a health care community, physicians, nurses, and home health aides are no ex-

ception. It is extremely important to constantly be educating both patients and providers on how to improve their health and wellness. It is a hindrance to the millions of people that require a nurse to help them each and every day if they are not healthy themselves. Nurses that provide in-home health care are tasked with having to be 100 percent physically healthy, but also mentally healthy. As a community it is crucial that we facilitate and encourage both our patients and providers to focus on maintaining good health, or strive to reach optimal health. This will only improve our patient care in the long run and help to decrease the growing cost of health care in our country.

At BAYADA, I feel proud to be part of an organization that supports one another on working towards weight loss goals and encourages everyone to be healthy. Heather shared with me how her journey has greatly impacted her family, and her co-workers alike. “One of things I’m most proud of regarding my journey is that I am able to be a great example to other nurses and my co-workers.

They have seen me struggle, celebrate victories small and large, and have encouraged me to reach my goals. I am able to run marathons now and my life has changed. I am able to represent my BAYADA family and show everyone that with hard work and determination anyone can reach a weight loss goal. “Being healthy is no longer just an option, in our field we need to set the example, and embody overall good health so that our patients can do the same. A few things that everyone can do immediately to improve their own health and help their coworkers include sharing healthy recipes, working out together, taking a walk on a lunch break and even forming a company-wide weight loss challenge to encourage results.

Rhema Outreach is dedicated to helping others BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com

Rhema Outreach Ministry is a small church with a big heart.

This church, located on the corner of King Street and Oriental Avenue, is dedicated to helping others.

Established on July 10, 2010, Rhema Outreach Ministry has helped many individuals and families in the Kings Mountain area with food, clothing and many items donated by the public.

T h e church was organized b y Archie and Betty Ross, Josh and Olita Conrad (pastors), James and Sandy Conrad, and Jimmie and Glenda Lancaster, all of Kings Mountain – friends with a vision to help others.

Every few months, as soon as their storage area gets so full that it can’t hold anything else, they organize a give away of everything that has been collected.

Nothing is ever sold, it is all given away on a first come first serve basis.

Inside the church, there is a food pantry available to anyone in need of food.

Rhema members encourage area people to donate any items to the church which can be given to others in need. If no one is at the church, the articles can be left in front of the church, where members check on a regular basis for donations.

Archie Ross said that he is in the process of building

a small collection building where donations can be left and will be protected from the weather.

But the real dream of church members is to have some sort of building, house, etc. donated to them for the sole purpose of storage.

They would not need it to have water or power, but basically four walls and a roof, where they could better take in furniture and appliances in addition to the clothes and household items they collect now.

Since the church was established in 2010, f i v e g i v e aways have been held. One of the bigger ones was held in the gym at the YMCA. There is no set schedule as to when the giveaways occur, it’s just when the small storage area can house no more. The March giveaway lasted about three hours. The entire area in front of the church, as well as a room inside was full of articles, gone in no time, including items to a family whose home burned.

Their stories touch your heart.

One day a lady was spotted going through the dumpster looking for anything which could help her or her family. She couldn’t understand why there was a bottle of oil in the dumpster. Olita explained to her that the oil was out of date, and that was why it had been discarded.

The woman found a shoe, and inquired about the mate, but it was missing, which was why it had been thrown

Recently, another woman came to the church inquiring about a car. She has several children, needs a job but no transportation. She told the members that she could afford to pay up to $1500 for a vehicle, but did not know how to go about finding one.

She just needed help locating a good, used car.

MAIN STREET: vital to the community From page 4A database of volunteers who stand ready to assist on projects of benefit to our community.

The Promotions Committee has posters in production that will promote properties available for lease or sale, and direct interested persons through the Main Street office so they may be made aware of programs that offer assistance to business or building owners. And in addition to the existing events which currently draw crowds into downtown Kings Mountain, the Promotions Committee is planning to bring back the Mountaineer Christmas with multiple events over a period of time to encourage traffic to our local merchants in Downtown Kings Mountain.

The Design Committee is developing a plan to improve the appearance of downtown by planting vinca minor in the raised planters. It will fill the beds and offer year-round visual interest. This committee would also like to move forward on a plan to replace the existing street trashcans with new powder-coated metal ones that are larger and more functional. Design also will work with other city departments to move forward the pedestrian crossing project that links Battleground Avenue to Railroad Street.

The Economic Restructuring Committee is developing a comprehensive prop-

Relay for Life at 6 p.m. at the Kings Mountain Walking Track.

Relay will begin at 5 p.m. and end at 12 midnight.

Entertainment and contests will run throughout the evening with opening ceremonies and Survivors’ Lap at 6 p.m. The famous and much-anticipated Womanless Beauty Pageant starts at 11 p.m. and fireworks at 11:30. Various teams will be serving food and drinks during the event with all proceeds going toward this year’s goal.

erty and business database that will be of use as we continue to track business opportunities and changes in ownership of the downtown properties. This committee is also working on a program to strengthen our existing businesses as well as a business recruitment package to encourage the relocation or development of compatible businesses to the downtown district.

Each of the four committees has several projects they would like to see move forward in the coming budget year. All of these projects are important and all would reap positive results in the downtown,. But the members of the Kings Mountain Main Street Program realize that progress is incremental and strength comes from the grassroots nature of the Main Street philosophy. Therefore, while reality dictates that not all of the various projects sought by the committees will be completed this coming year, these and other projects yet to be determined should be completed over time.

Again, Main Street is incremental and because of that it is strong.

KM second in Easter Tourney Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountaineers finished second to rival Crest in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Easter Baseball Tournament at Shelby High School.

The Mountaineers defeated 4A Mallard Creek 8-2 and Shelby 4-2 before falling to the Chargers 3-0 in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title game.

The Mountaineers got timely hitting and good pitching in their victories but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bunch hits and committed some costly errors in the loss to Crest.

Kings Mountain southpaw Alex Grooms and Ben Canipe of Crest hooked up in a pitcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duel in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game. Grooms allowed only two hits and the

Still the King Paul Brannon, left, who set the North Carolina High School Athletic Association home run record during his prep career in 1988-90 with 41 roundtrippers, said he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit a baseball since 1996 prior to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alumni Game at Lancaster Field. But the Georgia high school principal brought back a lot of memories for fans who saw him hit 8 of 20 out of the park to win the home run derby. His son, Brooks, helps him hold the commemorative home run derby bat, presented by Drew Fulton, right, who organized the event to raise money for the KMHS baseball program.

Kings Mountain High's tennis team opened Big South 3A Conference play March 28 with an 8-1 win over Hunter Huss.

"Hopefully, with this win will give us some momentum going into conference play," said Coach Rick Henderson.

"Even though we have a very young and inexperienced team they are gaining confidence with each and every match."

Kings Mountain was scheduled to host Ashbrook Tuesday and will battle North Gaston Thursday at Biggerstaff Park in Dallas. The Mountaineers host Crest next Tuesday.

The Mountaineers fell 9-0 to a strong Shelby team in a non-conference match on March 26.

Kings Mountain Middle Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball team defeated Lincolnton 12-1 in five innings Monday to run its record to 7-2.

Madisyn Bolin pitched the first two innings. He gave up only two hits and struck out four.

Bryson Bailey pitched the final three innings. He gave up three hits, one run and fanned three.

KM scored four runs in the first and built a 7-0 lead going into the third when Lincolnton scored its only run.

Bailey hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Brian Lysek hit a solo home run in the second.

Palmer Davis had three hits and Colby Hughes added a triple.

The Mountaineers staked starter Landon Bolin to a 4-0 lead early in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Shelby. He left in the sixth with a 4-0 lead and the Lions rallied in the seventh. William Ruffalo and Alex Reynolds pitched in relief for the Mountaineers.

Andrew Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single produced KMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first (and eventual winning run).

The second run scored when Daniel Barrett was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and Logan Stevens followed with a two-run single.

KMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bolin was recognized as the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top hitter.

Childs’ C15 exhibit is a celebration of women In celebration of Women’s Month American artist Carl Childs, a Gaston College Instructor, has a unique ceramics exhibit called “C15” at Greer Middle School in Gastonia. It will run through May 20, and will be available for viewing at Greer Middle School Library. The exhibit is free.

“When it comes to celebrating women, it shouldn’t be just for

birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day or Daughter’s Day. I believe that 15 minutes of appreciation for every day would show them justice they deserve,” said, Childs.

“The title of my exhibit is “C15.”

I want everyone to “see” or “C” that we should love and appreciate each other every day of our life.

“Take 15 minutes each day to remember, acknowledge what has

been done for us!”

Current projects for Childs include writing the book for an upcoming summer class that he will be teaching at Gaston College entitled “Solo Exhibit.”

He is currently working the mediums metal and wood to create three different shields.

Childs will also be in Kings Mountain in April painting fire hydrants.

Spring festivals abound in NC RALEIGH, N.C. — Festive new events are blooming among the azaleas, dogwoods and rhododendron that color North Carolina’s spring landscapes. Joining Merlefest, three steeplechases and other perennial favorites are the inaugural NC Beer Month, the first statewide star party and a grand display of historic vehicles at the first Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance.

Here are some of the season’s highlights. Find more reasons to visit at www.VisitNC.com.

Biltmore Festival of Flowers Now - May 19: Asheville The gardens at George Vanderbilt’s 8,000-acre Asheville estate come alive with more than 100,000 tulips as poppies, pansies, snapdragons and acres of azaleas chime in. Roses begin a reign that runs through summer, and natural gardens and walking trails showcase native and exotic blooms. Designer presentations, seminars and accessible experts add take-home value to the experience, which is accompanied by concerts and other activities. www.biltmore.com NC Beer Month Now - April 30: With more than 70 breweries, North Carolina is truly the state for Southern beer. All month long, travelers can let their love of ales, porters, stouts and other styles lead them to festivals, tastings,

tours and other adventures from the mountains to the coast — and lodging packages sweeten the deal. Find details at www.ncbeermonth.com.

Triple Steeplechase Multiple dates: Raeford, Tryon, Mineral Springs Admire the nimble horses that run the course and enjoy the competition for fanciest hat and finest tailgate feast — it’s all part of the American jump-racing tradition. North Carolina has three steeplechases: the Stoneybrook Steeplechase, April 6, Raeford (near Pinehurst), www.carolinahorsepark.com; the Blockhouse Steeplechase, April 20, Tryon, www.trhcevents.org; and the Queens Cup Steeplechase, April 27, Mineral Springs (near Charlotte), www.queenscup.org.

North Carolina Azalea Festival April 10-14: Wilmington The historic city of Wilmington pairs spring’s burst of azaleas with a bevy of belles in antebellum gowns, a fleet of visiting boats at the dock, and a pageant with a royal list of past winners (Kelly Ripa, Phylicia A. Rashad, Polly Bergen). Home and garden tours, arts and crafts, a parade and even a circus play into this uncommonly stylish Southern festival. www.ncazaleafestival.org

Blue Ridge Wine & Food Festival April 10-14: Blowing Rock Amid the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the village of Blowing Rock presents pleasures from regional wineries in tastings, seminars, cooking classes and winemakers’ dinners. Highlights include a new Grillin’ and Chillin’ event with craft beer, the bartenders brawl, a re-creation of the Titanic’s last dinner and the final round of the Fire on the Rock Chef Challenge. www.blueridgewinefestival.com MerleFest April 25-28: Wilkesboro Upbeat songs and poignant notes will be in the air at Wilkesboro, home of one of the world’s finest traditional music festivals. Guitar master Doc Watson created the four-day event in memory of his music partner and son, Merle, who died in 1985. Headliners include North Carolina natives Charlie Daniels and the Avett Brothers plus the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who worked with Watson on the landmark “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” In what’s likely to be the festival’s most heart-felt moments, an allstar lineup assembled by mandolin virtuoso Sam Bush will pay tribute to Watson, who died in 2012. www.merlefest.org Grandfather Mountain Naturalist Weekend May 17-19: Linville

McClain authors ‘I Hunt’ Pvt. Millen “I Hunt,” a 84-page book with a cheetah on the front, is off the press and new author Terry Lee McClain hopes it will be a best seller.

“We are losing our youth to the streets and the influence of gangs,’’ said McClain, who hope that young people 12-29 will read about his life and its ups and downs and become inspired and gain new understanding.

He added, “This adventure in “I Hunt” into the world of true events will raise the hair on your arms.”

McClain warns that the mindset of children is turning to violence because of what they see, and encourages parents to get back to the grass roots of raising children.

McClain, son of Robbie and Sally McClain of Kings Mountain, begins the first chapter of his book – Today, Sept.

12, 2011- the day after the horrific assault on America. Chapter II is entitled “The Path.” As his writing continues, McClain talks about some of his own challenges in life that could have prevented him from finishing his publication. “A new way of understanding life has never been so revealing as to the spine tingling effect that will unfold before you,’’ he says about his book.

McClain served as an electrician in the construction battalion of the U. S. Navy Seabees in 1984-86. A 1981 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, he holds an Associate degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology and is currently a student at UNC in Charlotte. He attends Burge Memorial AME Zion Church in Mount Holly where he has taught Bible studies and is a longtime member of Ebenezer Bap-

tist Church in Kings Mountain.

“I have worked in various areas of industry from textiles to electrical and I believe I was put on Terry McClain earth to help others and to inspire them through my life experiences,’’ said McClain. He has a 25-year-old son, Philip McClain of Charlotte and a grandson. Philip and Sheeree McClain have a three-year-old son, Ariah McClain.

Terry McClain resides in Mount Holly with his future wife, Marvelous Isles, and her two children. He enjoys writing, fishing, and playing chess.

“We see so many kids on the news these days that are in trouble and I feel their pain,’’ said McClain. “We need to put America back to work and get back to guiding our children to a better way of living.” He added, “As Blacks and Whites in this country we can get back to work if we use our God-given hidden talents.” (“I Hunt” is available at www.authorhouse.com for $13.95 plus shipping and handling or at Amazon, Books a Million, Wal-Mart, or call 704-9641085.)

Do you know the state flower?

“What do these have in common?” asks Doug Blackburn as he begins his program on “State Flowers.”

On March 14, the Town and Country Garden Club met at the home of Sarah Rhea.

A delicious meal was

enjoyed by the 11 members present for the meeting.

The Club Collect was read by the members.

Doug Blackburn of Cherryville presented a program entitled “State Flowers.”

He began the program by giving a quiz on the state flower of North Carolina. The Dogwood is the state flower of North Carolina and was adopted in 1941. It was chosen as the state flower because it is a native flower in all one hundred counties in North Carolina.

Virginia’s state flower is also the Dogwood.

Some states have traditional flowers as the state flower: South Carolina,

Jasmine and Indiana, Iris.

Nontraditional state flowers are representative of some states: Arizona, Saguaro (giant cactus) and Maine, White Pine Tassle Cone.

A discussion of different states and their state flowers and state birds concluded the program.

Susan Gibson, treasurer, gave the treasurer’s report.

Glenda Crawford, secretary, read the minutes.

The club project at the Kings Mountain Post Office was discussed.

MEDITATION Seeing suffering through Jesus’ eyes

Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church André Gide was a twentieth century French novelist, who won the Nobel Prize for literature. In 1919 Gide wrote a short meditation on Christianity that he titled “The Pastoral Symphony,” which was later adapted into a three-act play and a 1946 motion picture that starred the French actress Michèle Morgan.

The story in “Pastoral Symphony” revolves around the relational dynamics be-

tween a beautiful young woman named Gertrude, who was blind from birth, and a devout Swiss minister, who rescues her from a hovel and then guides her from darkness into light. Although the story has positive qualities, such as when surgery makes it possible for the young woman to be able to see, there are also some sad twists.

One of these sad twists appears after the young woman can see. Once she is in the light, Gertrude discovers that she can then see both good and bad in the world.

On the one hand, she notices that her eyes are opened on a world that is more beautiful than she had ever dreamed it could be. “The daylight was so bright, the air so brilliant, and the sky so vast.” But on the other hand, she saw in people’s faces the weight of their anxiety, pain and emptiness, and this almost made

her wish that she had never been allowed to see.

By contrast, when Jesus looked into the eyes of ordinary people and saw their suffering and pain, he did not see it as a reason to recoil in horror but as an opportunity to provide hope. Although it does not really seem to make sense, God’s presence is most often found in places of stress and suffering because that is where God is at work, and where Jesus has taught his followers to be at work.

The Easter story reminds us that God has always provides some of his most wonderful blessings through suffering. That is after all the truth of the Cross, for it was through Jesus’ gift of himself on the Cross that God provided hope and joy to those who embrace faith in him.

In John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress” we read of just such a hopeful incident.

“Up this way, therefore, did burdened Christian run,” writes Bunyan, “but not without great difficulty, because of the load on his back. He ran thus till he came to a place somewhat ascending; and upon that place stood a Cross, and a little below, in the bottom, a Sepulchre… just as Christian came up with the Cross, his burden loosed from his shoulders, and fell off his back, and began to tumble, and so continued to do, till it came to the mouth of the Sepulchre, where it fell in, and I saw it no more. Then was Christian glad and lightsome, and said with a merry heart, He hath given me rest by his sorrow, and life by His death.”

Although none of us want to suffer, it is often true that we discover God most deeply in the pain and suffering we experience.

■ BUSINESS Eaton donates $25K to Farmers’ Market

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton recently demonstrated its commitment to Cleveland County’s rapidly growing local food movement by providing a $25,000 grant to Foothills Farmers’ Market. Designated toward a permanent market facility in Uptown Shelby, Eaton’s gift provided the impetus to move forward with construction of the facility this year.

Eaton, which employs approximately 400 workers at its transmission division plant in Kings Mountain, directs all of its philanthropic efforts toward making a difference in the quality of life in communities where they operate. Joe McClain, EHS manager at the plant, served as project sponsor and helped secure the gift from the Eaton Charitable Fund.

Each year, the fund contributes approximately $5 million to nonprofit organizations in support of community improvement, education, and arts and cultural programs.

McClain and his colleagues have supported a number of hands-on community projects, including

filling backpacks with food and school supplies for students at Grover Elementary School. County extension director Greg Traywick, who made the funding request, is working with McClain to identify other ways for NC Cooperative Extension and Eaton Corporation to collaborate. Possibilities include making local foods readily available to the plant’s cafeteria, composting cafeteria waste and providing the environmentally-friendly byproduct to local farmers as a soil amendment, and creating school or community gardens to combat hunger and food insecurity in Grover and Kings Mountain.

Ed Faylo serves as plant manager and heads Eaton’s local leadership team.

“Eaton strives to be a good corporate citizen and to conduct our business in a way that respects the world around us,” Faylo says.

“We’re committed to making the communities where our employees live and work vibrant and sustainable, and we’re proud to support Foothills Farmers’
