Fourteen candidates and their families packed the Board of Election’s office in Shelby Friday as filing opened at noon with candidates submitting their paperwork and paying their filing fees for the 2013 fall elections. All three Kings Mountain City Council incumbents – Dean Spears,
Mike Butler and Tommy Hawkins and their wives – were among the first to register to file and incumbent school board member Kathy Falls of Grover arrived a little later in the day. Falls. 47, is running on her record for a second four year term on the Cleveland County Board of Education. “We have had a good board and we all work together and have tried
to make sound decisions,’’ said Hawkins, adding “We are trying to move Kings Mountain to the next level with major improvements and our priority is more jobs for our people.� All three council incumbents say they want to see projects completed that are on the drawing board, including the completion of the new water line from Moss Lake to town and other major water/sewer im-
provements, and downtown redevelopment. “Kings Mountain is the best city all around – not only for no property tax increase but with many improvements today and in the future,’’ said Butler who also said he thinks all city employees need a cost of living increase to which incumbents all agreed.

Thousands flocked to the city’s Fourth of July celebration Thursday to hear live music, see a dramatic reenactment of the Battle of Kings Mountain and take in a mesmerizing and regionally famous fireworks show that capped the sometimes rainy evening. The area saw nearly seven inches of rain in the days before the big event and Wednesday was marked by scattered thunderstorms. By about 8:15, as the crowd swelled in anticipation of a parade and the fireworks presentation, a heavy downpour forced people to run for cover. Although many were drenched by the sudden rain, most appeared to trickle back in to the main area – or at least stay put in their nearby cars – by 9 p.m. “What surprised me was that everyone came back,� said Scott Neisler, the pyrotechnician and Kings Mountain native who’s behind the show every year. He said while getting ready for the show he removed the tarp protecting the fireworks for a mo-
ment when a blast of rain pelted the area. He moved fast to cover the hardware, which costs a r o u n d $10,000. “I was risking losing everything,� he said. “I had a lot of good help out there.� Before the bombastic and colorful show set to patriotic rock and country songs, the crowd was wowed by even louder booms as reenactors fired cannons and muskets in a large play that recreates the October 7, 1780 battle
that was a turning point in the young country’s war for independence. The Battle of Kings Mountain was a decisive battle between the Patriot and Loyalist militias in the Southern campaign of the American Revolutionary War. The actual battle took place nine miles south of present-day Kings Mountain in rural York County, S.C., where the Patriot militia defeated the Loyalist militia commanded by British Major Patrick Ferguson of the 71st Regiment. See JULY 4th, 6A Matt Vincett portrays Major Patrick Ferguson of the British Army in a reenactment of the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain.

4 vie for manager’s seat Local Democrats attend Moral Monday protest
Candidate hopefuls for the position of Cleveland County Manager have been narrowed to four and commissioners met in closed session Tuesday prior to the regular meeting to interview the first candidate. Since the hiring process began some 30 resumes were received up to the application cutoff date of June 30. Commission Chairman Ronnie Hawkins said the interviews will be conducted through the month of July. Retired county manager David Dear stepped in to fill the position after the resignation of Eddie Bailes April 30. Dear retired two years ago
and had been employed under the economic development umbrella. Bailes was promoted from assistant manager to county manager two years ago and before that was HR director for a number of years. Commissioners heard a report from Planning Director Bill McCarter that Kings Mountain Gateway Trail had been designated a National Recreation Trail and received a resolution from its sister city in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, including a report from Vice-Chairman Jason Falls about his trip to Cleveland County, Oklahoma recently. Nine board appointments were approved.

Raccoon tests positive for rabies A raccoon on the property at 104 Myers Street June 26 has tested positive for rabies. Cleveland County Department Health Director Dorothea Wyant said the case is the fifth in Cleveland County in 2013. Wyant said that during the next six months anyone living in the vicinity of 104 Myers Street need to make sure that all cats, dogs, and ferrets have a current rabies vaccination. North Carolina State Law requires all cats and dogs to have rabies shots at four months of age and require a booster every three years. Wyant said residents need to make sure their animals are under their direct control. Animals that are allowed to run loose are at risk of coming into contact with a rabid animal. If your animals are exposed to a rabid animal and not vaccinated, the animals will have to euthanized or quarantined for six months.

Said Falls, “The reason I ran for the school board four years ago is because I felt we needed a parent influence on the board, a regular person that can relate to the average person and I listen.� She added, “It’s very important that parents and teachers have someone to talk to about issues.� Falls said she’s strong on returning phone calls and answering emails and she, along with other board members, visit all 29 schools in the district during the year. “ Being on the school board is more than going to a meeting and we meet and visit with students and talk with teachers at the schools,’’ she added. Falls has served three years on the Head Start policy council and is active in Cleveland County Schools Educational Foundation. Married to Jeff Falls for 28 years, they have three sons, Jordan, 29; Brandon, 16, a junior at Kings Mountain High School, and Zachary, 12, a 7th grader at KM Middle School.

Visiting Bishop receives key to the city
MEDITATION
“What Jesus Says to the Established Church� Over the next several weeks, I plan on writing a little about the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. The complete list is found in the second chapter. One thing about these churches as we learn about them: They were real churches that existed in real places. They were not Charlie Wallace merely symbols of apocaPastor lyptic literature. Six of the David Baptist Church seven churches had very real issues (sins) that were causing problems in their congregations. Fortunately for them, Jesus gave them very clear instructions on how to fix these problems. That’s what so great about God’s Word - every answer to life’s problems are found in it. However, we often don’t like hearing what we read in His word. We simply choose to ignore what God says. However, to ignore the words that Jesus was saying to these churches meant extinction. He would remove their lampstand. Don’t ever forget that it is King Jesus who starts churches, sustains churches, and eventually closes down churches. The first church mentioned is Ephesus. Ephesus was a doctrinally pure church. It was a church that was spiritually mature and filled with good Bible students whose children probably knew more Bible verses than you or me. They loved to wave the banner of Jesus Christ and show everyone around the wicked city of Ephesus that they were “taking a stand for Jesus� and that they had His back. But isn’t it funny to know that God doesn’t really need us to have his back? He simply wants us to obey Him. And the Ephesian church wasn’t being completely obedient to what God had called them to do. For established churches such as Ephesus, just sticking your flag in the ground and telling everyone that you are doctrinally pure and that your church preaches the Bible is great and all, but it’s not everything that Christ has called His church to do. The Ephesian church had toiled and worked for many years waving the banner of Christianity. But they had “abandoned their first love.� (Rev. 2:4). What was their first love? Loving Christ and doing what He had commanded: making disciples. Too many churches simply make disciples by birth. We’re content to physically birth people into the Kingdom of God while ignoring our part in seeing spiritual birth take place in the lives of adults. Jesus’ prescription for revival of the Ephesian church was simple: repent and remember your first love. Those that do so will eat of the tree of life and live in the paradise of God.
Kings Mountain Family Worship Center welcomed with open arms Ezekiel Sakala, the Provincial Overseer for the Church of God of Zambia. Ezekiel was invited to be the guest speaker for the church’s Earthen Vessels Mission’s annual banquet. He was in the area for about a week and a half. Ezekiel was excited to visit Kings Mountain and was tickled when presented with a key to the city by Mayor Rick Murphrey. He said he couldn’t wait to tell about his adventures when he returns home and is already planning to return and bring some friends with him. Another high spot for Sakala was visiting the Church of God Headquarters in Cleveland, Tennessee, where he met Jim Hill, World Missions Director for the Church of God. Sakala lives in the city of Katete and is Bishop over nine districts in Zambia, a total of 91 churches and about 11,000 people. Zambia is a very poor country in Africa. Most people earn less than a dollar a day and the average annual

income is $100 per year. Jeff Vernon, Administrator of the Earthen Vessels School of Ministry and Associate Pastor of Kings Mountain Family Worship Center, said that the church
has a two-pronged missions program. Two representatives are sent around Thanksgiving to Zambia to minister and baptize. Several more representatives go in the summertime to organize
and work in Bible schools. Jeff has been to Zambia on mission trips, and in 2010 he took his family along on a six-month extended mission trip.

Violet’s Garden Center, a new business at 2004 Shelby Road, features not only plants and flowers but bird baths and other unique concrete products. Violet Bream Clay, owner and garden enthusiast, gave one of her unique creations recently to the Kings Mountain Fire Department. The statuary has been displayed at Fire Station No. 1 downtown by Fire Chief Frank Burns and depicts a fireman, fire hydrant, ladder and other symbols of firefighting.
City Manager Marilyn Sellers and Mayor Rick Murphrey were also on hand to view the unveiling and presentation of the special gift. Violet and Steven Clay moved from Orlando, Florida to Cleveland County in 2005. Mrs. Clay had been in the landscape and nursery business for a number of years and Mr. Clay, now retired, worked in underground utilities. “We decided to return to the Kings Mountain area because my husband
was born here,’’ said Violet. She said she wanted to keep her green thumb in the growing of plants and in mid-May they opened a new business where she does just that. Roses, perennials, annuals, dahlias are just some of the pretty flowers that bloom profusely. The shop is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Sundays from noon until 5 p.m. Senior Day is on Wednesday with a 10% discounts to senior shoppers.

Rolling through the years with Plonk Tire DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Tim Plonk has seen all the trends. From low-riders in the 1980s and 1990s and more recently to what are called “tuners� – ordinary cars tweaked, modified and painted up to look and sound racy. Along the ways he’s witnessed the rise of the SUV, the monster truck – jacked four or even 20 inches higher than the factory setting — and everything in between. Fads, he calls them, with smiling eyes. “It’s always something different,� said Plonk, who’s owned and operated Plonk Tire Inc. for two decades. “There’s always some new style on the street.� He’s also noticed other changes: the people who buy tires and have other service done at his shop downtown. “The customer base has changed,� he said. “Fifteen or twenty years ago, it was pretty much all male.� Now that breakdown is about 50 percent or more women, he says. Of course, the tires have changed too. There are more breeds, brands and sizes on the market than were available a generation ago. And, take it from an expert, they’re getting better. “The quality control (at the factory) is much better,� he said while tracing his finger along a tire’s sidewall recently at his shop, which he runs with longtime business partner Dale Treece. “Tires last longer.� Most of what Plonk knows about automobiles he learned working alongside his late father, Wray, who owned the business before him. In that era, the Plonk family owned car lots and
distributed heating oil. The scope of the family businesses changed in the 1960s and 1970s. It left the car sales and oil business and focused on tires. Then, in 1980, it broadened the business to provide more automobile services – from oil changes, state inspections and “anything ride/suspension related.� Plonk, like his father and other family members involved in the business, are tinkerers. They like to build things, take them apart, rebuild them to their liking. If you peek back into the folds of Plonk’s large shop, you might spot the final big project his father, who died in 2008, poured many hours into: a copy of a 1965 Shelby Cobra, a muscle car that is as roadworthy as it is beautiful. It was that mechanical inclination and a desire to compete that led Plonk and Treece into street-stock class racing twenty years ago. Photographs of the race cars they built and drove in local competitions still hang in the waiting room. Plonk and Treece don’t race cars anymore, spurning the time-consuming and expensive hobby for other sidelines. “Spending a lot to make a little,� said Treece, referring to his past adventures with car and kart racing. “I’ve got too many to list,� Plonk says with a laugh, referring to his current hobbies. Chief among them is remote control model airplanes and woodwork. He also said he loves to bike. Plonk has learned a lot about customer behavior in his line of work. But mostly, he said, it’s that folks are loyal to a brand throughout their driving lives. “You could give a Chevy man an F-150, but he’s not gonna drive it.�

Big Bang Boom to perform July 15
MORAL MONDAY: attended by local democrats
Big Bang Boom Band will present a concert Monday, July 15, at 6 p.m. at Patriot’s Park as part of the 2013 Summer Reading Program at Mauney Memorial Library. Established in 2007 in Greensboro, this rockin’ 3-piece power pop band consists of talented artists and long-time musicians, and doesn’t play just any ole average music. These dynamic dads play parent-friendly music. After 20 years of touring, Chuck, Steve and Eddie decided to expand their horizons and play for parents (like themselves) who want more from children’s music. They write songs with a pop sensibility by cleverly mixing alternative, hip-hop, pop, country, and other genres to create music that parents and children can relate to and enjoy! Think of it as a “kidappropriate frat party.” The band is set to release their third CD. You can listen to Big Bang Boom on Kindiecast, Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl, and Spare the Rock Spoil the Child. Between 5 – 6 p.m., Created to Praise Dance Academy, owned and operated by Kelli Putnam, will be passing out free children’s books.

track, a concert by the rock and country Chris Marks Band kicked off the evening. Following a quick, drenching rain toward the end of the band’s performance, the opening ceremonies got under way, beginning with a Parade of Patriots, featuring Mayor Rick Murphrey in Revolutionary garb, members of the Kings Mountain Police Department Explorer Post and others.

Bailey Tate, a rising 9th grader at North Gaston High School, pulled down 6th and 8th place rankings at the ninth annual National Junior High Finals Rodeo (NJHFR) in Gallup, New Mexico, last week. Tate, who made the long trip with three fellow North Carolina National Junior High rodeo teammates, won 6th place in Barrel Racing and 8th in Pole Bending. “This is the biggest event, prestige-wise, that she’s competed in yet,” said her grandfather Randy Franklin, who attended the seven-day event along with Tate’s mother Kim Tate (Franklin) Stines and her brother Jayden, 10. Featuring more than 1,000 contestants from 41 states, including Alaska, five Canadian provinces and Australia, the National Junior High Finals Rodeo is the world’s largest junior high rodeo. In addition to competing for more than $75,000 in prizes, National Junior High Finals Rodeo contestants like Tate, 14, vied for more than $100,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named the National Junior High Finals National Champion. Rodeo Live broadcasts of each National Junior High Finals performance were broadcast online at www.nhsratv.com. Tate, who took up competitive riding at
age 7, is no stranger to winning. At 10 earned fifth place at the 12 and under Youth World Championship in Jackson, Mississippi. Last year, she was the Youth 1D champion saddle winner at Double HH Ranch in Kings Mountain, and placed third in the Ed Brown IPRA Rodeo. Tate was also an A Honor Roll student at W.C. Friday Middle School. “Bailey got to meet a lot of people – got to know people she competes with on the state level” at the New Mexico event, said Franklin.” Tate wasn’t the only member of her family who saw some action. On Saturday her younger brother spotted an unattended truck that was rolling because it had been left in gear. The youngster responded quickly and jumped into the cab of the truck, which was hooked to a trailer carrying horses, and brought it to a stop. “He said it himself and he’s right – he saved the day,” the boy’s grandfather said. “People could have been hurt.” Later this month Tate heads to Perry, Ga., to compete in the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) Days. Tate is sponsored by Dr. David White, DDS, PA, Orthodontist, Gastonia, Southern States farm supply of Gastonia, and the Double HH Ranch of Kings Mountain.

Post 155 drops first two in Area IV Legion playoffs Kings Mountain Post 155 was facing elimination from the Area IV playoffs in a scheduled doubleheader Tuesday night at Lancaster Field. After five days of postponements due to heavy rains, the best-of-five series finally got underway Monday night at Hickory with Hickory winning 8-0 and 16-2. Should KM be successful and win two Tuesday, the series would move back to Hickory today for the deciding game. A Hickory win Tuesday would end the series and send them into the second round against
the winner of the Gaston Braves-Rutherford County series beginning tonight. Kings Mountain held tough in game one before Hickory scored four runs in the sixth inning to put the game away. Game two was tied at 2-all before Hickory scored five runs in the second inning to take command and put the game away on the 10-run mercy rule after five innings. After going 6-1 to lead the East Division, Post 155 has dropped eight of its last ten games.
