Cities cringe at new annexation reform laws Gone are the days of land-grabs and sprawling municipalities… here are the days of MAJORITY RULES EMILY WEAVER Editor
Cities, you have met your limits. If you want to grow, you will have to get permission. The North Carolina General Assembly passed a pair of bills recently that essentially fixes the boundaries of cities and bans involuntary growth. It also grants free accessibility to city services for all who are annexed. Annexation reform was near the top of a master to-do list for lawmakers in the short session, who returned from their drawing board with a July 1st death sentence on any
future involuntary annexations. "This makes it impossible for cities to continue to grow," said Mayor Rick Murphrey. "We have the infrastructure and the services to offer to those we annex and they have that when they're annexed." Police protection, fire protection, and solid waste removal services come to residents of every annexation, forced or otherwise. Although fire protection can lower a homeowner's insurance, city taxes and fees for services come to new citizens as well. Water and sewer utilities can also be accessed…for a price…until now. A few residents in the Crocker Ridge sub-
division, annexed into the city in 2010, were surprised to find their street lined with new green trash cans greeting them with a note that said, "Welcome to the City of Kings Mountain" July 1st. The city was surprised they were surprised. Notices of the annexation intention were mailed to all residents and appeared several times in advertisements and stories in The Herald. State law requires all municipalities to first pass a resolution of consideration identifying the areas intended for annexation. A copy of the resolution with a map of the pro-
posed area of annexation must be mailed to all property owners. Then, city fathers must pass a resolution of intent, give public notice, hold informational meetings and hearings before taking a final vote. But in four days the law will change. Before city leaders can vote on annexation, the ones being annexed will have to vote and their majority will be the one that rules. The city will pick up the tab for the election. In House Bill 925, which passed into law without Gov. Beverly Perdue's signature, property owners of annexed areas (voluntary See ANNEXATION, 7A

City council members and the public were weighing in on that question Tuesday night at 6 p.m. At the Herald's press time the seven city commissioners were hearing comments from the public. Three times this year truck and train accidents have happened at the Oak Street tracks because truck drivers have ignored posted "absolutely no truck crossing" signs posted by the city. Tractor-trailers and trucks are prohibited from crossing both the downtown Oak and Gold Street crossings. Undercarriages of the big 18 wheelers get stuck on the tracks and See HEARING, 7A
Crosby found mentally unfit to stand trial for murder Joe Crosby, 48, the Mary's Grove Church Road resident charged with murder in the 2010 strangling of his wife, Gaylain, 51, was found mentally incompetent to stand trial in Cleveland County Superior Court this week. Judge Timothy Kincaid ordered the man admitted to a state mental hospital for treatment. On Monday a psychologist testified in court that Crosby was afraid his wife was plotting to poison him. In the early morning hours of August 2010, law enforcement responded to a 911 call from Crosby who said he might have killed his wife. See CROSBY, 7A
Out-on-bond KM couple back in jail with 2nd meth lab A Kings Mountain couple - out on bond and awaiting trial for possessing a meth (methamphetamine) lab - is back behind bars after law enforcement officials say they found the two with another lab in room 221 of the Victory Inn. Narcotics officers with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department and Kings Mountain Police officers went to the Kings Mountain inn on June 22 to investigate possible drug activities. Officers knocked on the door of room 221 and found Mark and Catherine Stacey, who were busted on March 19 for possessing a methamphetamine laboratory in Gaston County.

Smith named a delegate to DNC
Arts Council, Maxwell Hamrick Insurance, and Neal Senior Center. All performances are at the Keeter Auditorium on the campus of Cleveland Community College.
On Saturday, North Carolina Democrats completed the selection of their delegates to t h e Democratic N a tional Convention to be held in CharROBIN SMITH lotte in September, and Robin Smith of Kings Mountain will be among them. She topped the ballot in a 10th Congressional District election held in conjunction with the N. C. State Democratic Convention in Raleigh.
Back in May, Nick Carpenter of Shelby was elected as delegate during the selection process undertaken at district conventions across the state. "We're delighted that two local Democrats will be among the 158 voting delegates in Charlotte,'' said Pat Poston, secretary of the Cleveland County Democratic Party. "We were proud to support their candidacies, knowing they'll represent us and the 10th District well." For 15 years as founder and president of It Takes A Village Child Development Center in Kings Mountain, Smith has advocated vigorously on the importance of quality education at the earli-
est stages of development from infancy to pre-school. She earned a master's degree in management at Pepperdine University and served 15 years in the U. S. Army in the United States and abroad, leaving active duty as a fieldgrade officer at the rank of major. She now joins the ranks of other veterans in the U. S. Army Retired Reserves. Smith worked hard as a local volunteer in Barack Obama's victorious 2008 presidential campaign, and being involved at the political grassroots-level led to her application to be a convention delegate. "Together,'' he says, "we must do it again."

Reminding us of the cost of discipleship
Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church
The Bible presents many sides to the experience of faith. For example,
it seems clear that God loves us with an unchanging, limitless love that is much more than merely an emotion. It is also apparent that God desires to meet our needs and provide for us in ways that lead to an “abundant” life. God also hears our prayers and responds to them, and it is clear that the life of a believer is a life of blessing, promise and hope. Yet, there are also a number of stories in the Bible that remind us of that the cost of being a faithful follower of God can sometimes be high. In fact, there are times when God asks
His followers to do things that are painful in various ways. In Deuteronomy, for example, we find the story of Moses’ death, and in this story we are told of how he was not able to enter the Promised Land, but was allowed to see it before he died. In the third chapter of the book, long before the story of Moses’ death is told, in the first of three sermons or speeches from Moses – which actually make up the content of the book of Deuteronomy – we read Moses’ own account of his final plea to God for the opportunity to enter the
land and see it first-hand. After all of those years of labor for the Lord, Moses certainly must have wanted to see the results of his service come to fruition, so Moses asked God to give him that opportunity. God’s response was to say something like, “The answer is ‘no’, and do not speak to me of this anymore.” The fact that God would not allow him to enter the land is a fact that Moses repeats later in the book, so it must have been a painful experience for him. Similar incidents occurred with other biblical

fered with some sort of “thorn” in his flesh, which God would not remove from him, despite his many prayers for relief. And more significantly Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that God would permit the “cup” that was the crucifixion to be replaced with another way of accomplishing salvation. Yet Jesus, like Moses, Hosea, Jeremiah, and so many others before him, submitted himself to the will of God. I think we need stories like these because they remind us of the true cost of discipleship.

personalities. The prophet Hosea was told to marry a prostitute and had to suffer the pain of disloyalty from his wife in order to be a living reminder of a spiritual truth for God’s people. The prophet Jeremiah was commanded not to marry, despite the fact that living a single life as a male was so unusual at the time that there is actually no word for “bachelor” in biblical Hebrew. As a result, Jeremiah was denied the joy of children and the comfort of a spouse. Similar incidents are found in the New Testament as well, for Paul suf-
is invited.

Grover passes budget Pirate costume contest with increases, pay raises Tuesday at 238 Cherokee
GROVER - A public hearing on the proposed budget for 2012-2013 brought no comment from the public Monday night as Grover town board approved a $652,845 budget. The budget keeps the tax rate at 29 cents per $100 valuation plus 38 cents for debt retirement for construction loans and necessary operational expenses for the Grover Municipal Sewer System. Combined, the rate is 67
cents per $100 assessed valuation. The seven city employees got a 3% costof-living raise. July bills to residents will reflect a 3% increase in water, a 3% increase in sewer and a $2 increase for trash pickup. The mayor announced after a closed session that Brent White, a councilman for eight years, has resigned.
Grammy Award winner to perform at Joy July 6th
Ahoy maties! On Tuesday, July 3, 238 Cherokee Street is hosting a "Pirates, Buccaneers and Privateers" costume contest. All ages invited to "walk the plank" of competition. There is no entry fee and prizes will be awarded in two categories, 16 and under and adult. Registration will be held on site and judging will take place at 7 p.m. for younger participants and at 8 for adults. Judging will be Revolutionary War re-enactors in town for the historic en-
campment set for the city's "Revolutionary 4th" celebration Wednesday at the Kings Mountain Walking Track. “Pirates and Privateers were an important part of the Revolutionary War, smuggling supplies in for the Patriot forces and menacing the shipping lanes of the British Navy. They were a big part of the successful outcome of the Revolutionary War,” said Ellis Noell, special events director for the city. This is the second year 238 Cherokee Street has hosted the costume contest.
“We think this is a great way to be part of this huge event in Kings Mountain, celebrating our country’s independence and having fun doing it!” said Kora Corey, 238 Cherokee Street manager. Militia groups expected to participate include members of the South Fork Militia, the Charlestowne Artillery and the 84th Highland Immigrant Militia.

Local re-enactor portrays hero of Revolution By THOMAS LARK BELMONT—Friday morning featured stepping into a time machine at the Belmont Historical Society’s offices. The BHS Cultural and Heritage Learning Center played host to the William Chronicle Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. And the group’s namesake himself dropped in for a visit. Well, not precisely. But if you squint, you just might think Rob Lewis of Bessemer City is actually old Maj. Chronicle, come to life again. Lewis, 42, is a veteran re-enactor of the American Revolution period. He has been portraying Chronicle for many years and is a big hit countywide and in Kings Mountain. With his tricorn, vest, spats and musket, Lewis is a dead ringer for the Revolutionary War hero. It was at the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780 that Chronicle gained his immortality. He and his South Fork Boys and other such local militia groups defeated a Loyalist force led by Maj. Patrick Ferguson. “The South Fork Boys were really a kind of special forces,” said Lewis, himself a U.S. Army veteran of Desert Storm, explaining that the militia’s members learned reconnaissance techniques from friendly Catawba Indians. “But the South Fork Boys did take some significant losses at Kings Mountain.” And both Chronicle and Ferguson died in the battle. But it was a resounding Patriot victory, and indeed, Thomas Jefferson later hailed it as the turning point of the war. In what would one day become Belmont, Chronicle was a major landowner. In fact, the BHS Center at 40 Catawba St., once the home of textiles magnate Robert Lee Stowe, Sr., is believed to sit on Chronicle’s property, according to
BHS member Beverly Lineberger. The Patriot leader is remembered with a nearby historical marker and in the names of Chronicle Street and the old Chronicle Mill, both also in close proximity to the BHS Center. As a re-enactor, Lewis told the DAR members that he strives for historical accuracy. He follows a strict code observed by re-enactors. “Inaccurate history is not good,” he said. “If something’s not true, don’t tell it.” Lewis explained his weapon, a Brown Bess, a British musket popular with Colonials. Many have been unearthed by archaeologists researching the Revolutionary War. This formidable firearm was the machine gun of its day, said Lewis, and a well-trained soldier could fire four rounds a minute with it. Appropriately for Ferguson, a Scot, a cairn marks the site of his fall and serves as his grave at Kings Mountain. But no one knows what happened to Chronicle’s remains, as Lewis revealed. “We assume he’s buried somewhere close to the mountain,” he said. Some 200 bodies are in a mass grave, said to be somewhere near the site. Yet even with modern archaeological technology, this spot hasn’t been found yet, Lewis informed. “That’s still one of the greatest mysteries of Kings Mountain,” he said. Lineberger and friend Diane Watts said the historical society was happy to host the DAR. “That’s what we’re all about,” said Watts. “We want to preserve our past for the sake of our future.” To learn more, call the Belmont Historical Society at 704-825-4848.

ANNEXATION: reform laws stunt cities’ growth, put more annexing privileges in hands of the majority FROM Page 1 and involuntary) will have free access to their new city's utilities. The city must provide those services within three-and-a-half years. And the city will pay the bills for laying the lines and connecting homes at no cost to homeowners. Any area that petitions the city for annexation, must not be denied. It will now be up to a petitioned municipality, not the county, to annex and extend services to those who
ask, regardless of whether or not the city has enough money in its coffers to do it. "These changes have sent a cold chill down cities' backs," said Steve Killian, city planning director. "This is going to stop annexation in its tracks." "Municipalities will not be able to grow now under that law," the mayor said. House Bill 5, which also passed without the governor's signature, voided recent involuntary annexations in 9 cities. Kings Mountain was not one of them, but for 12

City officials visited Bowling Green, Kentucky for a tour of that city's fiber optics project and liked what they saw. That municipality offers fiber optics to all residents as well as business and industry. However, a N.C. state law prohibits cities from competing with cable companies.

COUPLE: back behind bars after being caught with second meth lab found in KM’s Victory Inn FROM Page 1 Officers identified themselves and briefly interviewed the Staceys' about their involvement in making meth - a controlled prescription drug that can brewed illegally from store-bought MARK STACEY items in make-shift laboratories. Eight such operations have been shut down so far this year in Cleveland County, according to deputies. After receiving a consent to search, officers said they found "several items in the room that are consistent with the methamphetamine manufacturing process". The Staceys were placed under arrest and the room was sealed until a search warrant
could be obtained. On June 23, CCSD and KMPD officers returned with agents of the State Bureau of Investigation to execute the warrant at the Victory Inn. While processing the items found previously in the room, CATHERINE STACEY officers determined that the materials were consistent with an "inactive meth lab". Mark Kevin Stacey of 638 Bell Rd., Kings Mountain, and Catherine McAbee Stacey of 612 Charles Street, Kings Mountain, were each charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of precursor chemicals, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They are both being held under a $500,000 secured bond.

years, the issue of those land-grabs cannot be brought back to the table in those municipalities. "Cities sometimes keep tax rates down by annexing more areas," said Sen. Wes Westmoreland (R-Cleveland, Rutherford). And not all municipalities, he added, have always played fair when it comes to annexation under the public's eye. "Cities, as they currently exist, are going to have some difficulty," he said. "People are moving out and see less of a need to be in a city, which makes it tougher on the city…Cities are going to have to make themselves more relevant." Mayor Rick Murphrey said that he and several other municipal leaders visited Raleigh to talk lawmakers out of the new reforms. "We expressed our concerns on several occasions. We went to Raleigh. We were just unsuccessful," he added. "We wanted to continue to grow and grow progressively, but this stops you in your tracks. We won't be able to grow."

Westmoreland agreed that there were real concerns in annexation reform, but he - like the 71 others who voted in favor of HB 925 - said the issue falls back to the landowner. "I believe he or she has a right to determine where their land lies," Westmoreland added. House Bill 925 passed the chamber by a vote of 72-45 on May 29. House Bill 5 passed on the same day by a vote of 66-50. The "Annexation Reform Act of 2011", HB 845, passed last year to protect property owners from involuntary annexation by a petition of at least 60 percent of property owners. In March, Wake County Superior Court Judge Shannon Joseph struck down the petition part of the law citing that it was unfair to disenfranchised renters residing in areas to be annexed. He said they too should have a vote. The short session, which meets from May to July, convenes in even-numbered years for lawmakers to make adjustments to the state's biennial budget adopted during the long session.

Your ‘Fruitful’ Tips with Jason Rhodes
Blackberries... Select plump, well-colored blackberries. They should not have stem caps attached. If hulls are still attached, the berries are immature and were picked too early. Avoid berries showing any signs of decay. Always pick the plumpest and most fragrant berries. They should be firm, bright, and fresh looking. If possible, buy locally grown berries. They're likely to be sweeter and juicier than those that are bred for shipment. Select berries that are in dry, unstained containers. (Stained containers may indicate over soft berries that are not freshly picked.) Mold on berries spreads quickly. Never leave a moldy berry next to a good one. Do not wash berries until you're ready to use them, and refrigerate unwashed berries as soon as possible. Store them in a colander in the refrigerator. This allows the cold air to circulate around them. Tip: Remove berries from refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before serving. Berries are at their fullest flavor at room temperature.

without wearing gloves. A small, unbroken blister [less than 1 in. (2.5 cm) across], even a blood blister, will usually heal on its own. Home treatment may help decrease pain, prevent infection, and help heal large or broken blisters: Do not try to break the blister. Just leave it alone. Leave the blister uncovered unless something rubs against it. If you do cover it: Apply a loose bandage. If the blister is in an area where pressure is applied, such as on the bottom of your foot, protect it with a doughnut-shaped moleskin padcamera. Leave the area over the blister open. Most large blisters will break on their own and then heal. Do not remove the flap of skin covering the blister unless it tears or gets dirty or pus forms under it. Apply an antibiotic ointment, such as polymixin B or bacitracin, if you are not allergic to it. Do not use alcohol or iodine on the blister because these may delay healing. Do not use an ointment if you know you are allergic to it. Change the bandage every day and any time it gets wet or dirty. You can soak the bandage in cool water just before removing it to make it less painful to take off. Do not wear the shoes or do the activity that caused a friction blister until the blister heals.
