Council seats up for grabs ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
It’s a race for all three city council seats up for grabs in November as a Kings Mountain woman threw her hat into the political ring to contest Ward 2 incumbent Mike Butler. Previously filing for city council Patty Hall were Butler, Jerry Mullinax, who seeks to unseat incumbent Tommy Hawkins in Ward 3, and Curtis Pressley who is opposing incumbent councilman Dean Spears for the At-large seat. Patty Hall, 54, 111 Stowe Acres, who filed last week for the Ward 2 seat, has worked in city government for 26 years, beginning with the City of Bessemer City for six years as a labMike Butler oratory tech operator in the water department. She joined the City of Cherryville 20 years ago and heads the Water Department/ Treatment Plant where she supervises five employees and recently won awards from the state and the Environmental Protection Agency. “I want to give back to this community and feel that my experience in Jerry Mullinax running a water department will be valuable as Kings Mountain moves to run water lines and make improvements in water/sewer,� said Mrs. Hall. Her husband, Stanley Hall, retired from Chemtura after 34 years and has worked at the City of Lincolnton Wastewater Plant for three years. Daughter of the late Nora Elizabeth Croft and John Bennett Powell, Mrs. Hall’s mother was reared in Kings Tommy Hawkins Mountain. Mrs. Hall was born and raised in Morganton but moved to Kings Mountain 36 years ago. She is a graduate of Freedom High School in Morganton and is earning a two-year degree in Environmental Science. She served two years on the board of examiners in the Division of Water Resources which tests water and holds a grade A Surface Center certification in Curtis Pressley water and a grade 2 in wastewater treatment and is state certified in lab testing. Her 2012 award from the state was from the Area-wide Optimization program. Mrs. Hall presents the water department budget to Cherryville city council annually and says she and her employees in the water plant are very conscious of public health. The Halls attend Cornerstone Church of God on Margrace Road in Kings Mountain. Dean Spears

Cleveland County Arts Council’s 14th annual Real to Reel International Film Festival will start rolling tonight (Wednesday) at the Joy Performance Center with the showing of the first of 34 films from short length to animation clips, documentaries, and feature-length shows which will light up the silver screen through Saturday. The festival showcases the works of filmmakers in a variety of genres and is co-sponsored by the Kings Mountain Little Theatre and Historic Kings Mountain Tourism Development Authority. Filmmakers from as far away as Spain, Germany and New Zealand and as close as Concord will be showing their films during the four-day competitive festival. Show time is 7 p.m. each evening and includes a 1 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Returning this year is the silent auction, which runs throughout the festival. Items such as scripts from movies, trips to famous movie locations, and unique movie memorabilia will go to the highest bidders at the end of the festival. There will also be question/answer sessions with all visiting filmmakers and special giveaways throughout the festival. A wrap up party following the Saturday night shows will feature presentation of $1750 in cash awards to the winners in both the professional and amateur categories. The competition is keen. The 34 films were chosen from many that were
entered in the festival. Theatre-goers will view a number from North Carolina. Some of the films are of a mature theme. A schedule in this week’s Herald gives the showtime for each film as well as how the film is rated PG, G, or PG13. Another story in today’s Herald also gives a synopsis of each film for the four-day festival. At least five filmmakers are expected to be present for evening showing of their films or for the grand finale on Saturday. They include Bob Pondillo of Tennessee, “New True Charlie Wu� which shows Wednesday night; Kevin
Balling of North Carolina, “Bathanti� which shows Thursday night; Melanie Wainber of Florida whose “Dr. Gutman’s Eulogy� shows on Friday night; and Larry Evans of Raleigh, “Chairworks� and Margaret Williams of New York whose 90 minute feature “Wet Behind the Ears� shows Saturday night.

‘The New Charlie Wu’ Polling change for KM to premier at festival ELIZABETH STEWART

Like Charlie in “New Charlie Wu�, the 30-minute film he wrote and directed for tonight’s opening of the International Film Festival at the Joy Theatre, Dr. Bob Pondillo was once locked in a job he hated. Dr. Pondillo, Professor of Mass History and American Culture at Middle Tennessee State University, wants the audience to leave the theatre tonight (Wednesday) with a sense of joy and hope and he chose a multi-cultural, multiethnic cast for that reason in the musical fantasy in which
he collaborated with Nashville songwriter Casey Kelley. He had never written a musical and he wanted to have fun with the film. Says Pondillo, “I hope the audience will see the universality of a basic human drive – the desire for authenticity in one’s life and how one’s work gives one meaning, purpose, and identity and that they see a little bit of themselves in the film, it may prompt them to have their own Charlie Wu moment.� See DIRECTOR, 7A

of Elections, met Tuesday with the Advisory Board of the Senior Center to discuss the proposed change in polling locations. The Advisory Board is expected to confirm the location change. Mayor Rick Murphrey said the election board is recommending the change to make voting more convenient for senior citizens and also to give all voters in the North Precinct more parking spaces. “The YMCA has been gracious to us to use the facility at the back of the building for voting purposes but the senior center will be nice, too, and convenient,’’ he said.

FNB to switch to Bank of the Ozarks August 1 First National’s branch bank on West Mountain Street will soon have a new sign – Bank of the Ozarks your hometown bank. First National shareholders approved the bank’s merger into Bank of the Ozarks and expect to close on the deal July 31 with First National Bank branches to open August 1 as Bank of the Ozarks. In recent months the $67.8 million bank deal, first announced in January, was approved by federal and state regulators and the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholder approval was one of the final steps to be completed.
City to continue seeking grants The city has applied for and received a number of job grants over the years from the North Carolina Rural Center but last week the N.C. General Assembly eliminated state funding for the nonprofit which was stung by a negative audit, triggering the resignation of its longtime president. Mayor Rick Murphrey said the city will continue to submit applications with the N.C. Department of Commerce . Murphrey said that numerous businesses have been successful in obtaining grants from the Rural Center, bringing jobs to Kings Mountain. “They have been good to work with and we have been pleased to help with applications for the grants,� he said. “It seems it just got to be too political.� By action of Governor Pat McCrory and the legislature a new division was created with the N.C. Department of Commerce to focus on improving services to the state’s rural counties.

MEDITATION Do not be influenced by ‘popular’ culture
Charlie Wallace Pastor David Baptist Church Today we continue our look at the seven churches of Revelation as we look at what Jesus said to the church at Pergamum. This church’s biggest problem, and the issue to which Jesus was writing them, was that it was too easily influenced by the surrounding culture. However, perhaps worse than just being easily influenced, the church at Pergamum enabled certain sinful practices (Rev.
2:12-17). What does it mean to enable someone or something? To enable means to “make possible” or “give someone or something the authority or means to do something.” Therefore, the city in Pergamum wasn’t just easily influenced by the ungodly culture of the city - it made possible these evil practices. The church went so far as to give the culture permission to act in these sinful ways. Jesus’ warning to this church was straightforward: “Repent.” That was it. Repent. Repentance has the idea of turning around. It carries the meaning of saying to oneself, “The direction where I am headed is the wrong way. Today, I’m going to make a commitment to move in the opposite direction.” The
church in Pergamum was going in the wrong direction. It was not only accepting the sinful practices of the surrounding culture, it was enabling and propagating them. What did Jesus say for them to do? Repent. Turn around. Admit your wrongs. Follow me, instead. Jesus said if they would not, then he would come and war against them with His Word. What a frightening warning! If the church refuses to turn around, Jesus declared that He will go into battle against the church itself! He will fight the church. And in so doing this, He will make the church suffer in its endeavors to be successful. When your church decides to side with the culture over and against God’s Word, then your church has decided
to invite God into battle against it. You don’t want that! Jesus said that he’ll fight his battle with His Word - the sword of his mouth. The thing about his Word is that it either softens the heart or hardens it. It produces the desired change or the conflict gets worse. The good news is that Jesus is longsuffering and patient with His church. He gives it chance after chance after chance to repent of its sins and follow Him. But at some point, Jesus quits being so patient. If you find yourself in an enabling church, prayerfully consider to repent. Speak to your leaders. Maybe you’re the leader. Look at your own heart and make a decision to turn around. The future of your church may depend on it.

It’s the story about a persistent and self-indulgent beaver who is not a very good neighbor. That is, until he meets a precocious no-nonsense turtle. In Oneida society, the oral tradition is very important and represents the soul of the Oneida people. From generation to generation children are taught about their Oneida traditional beliefs from an Elder who has the ability to speak with meaning and confidence. The film opens with that scene.

Harmon and Wendell are two WWI concentration camp escapees, chained together at the wrist.

Eddy is a small-time Chicago criminal with a penchant for dim-witted schemes and he’s on the run. After ripping off his boss, he hightails it to Mexico but gets distracted by a pretty hitchhiker on the way. What begins as a simple tryst ends with Eddy beaten up, broken down and penniless in Wyont, Texas, inadvertently witnessing a murder by Willet Nash, the county’s all powerful Sheriff. Eddy tries to hold up a bank and make a run for it, but his cockamamie plan goes awry and he’s caught in the act by Nash himself. Eddy’s only chance to make it out of jail alive is his fiancĂŠe Jeannie, who he left jilted at the altar back in Chicago. Saturday night shows include two shorts, two animations, a documentary and a 1 ½ hour feature film followed by a party and presentation of awards. “Spaghetti for Twoâ€? is an 18-minute, 31-second short rated G from Germany.

The project explores the parallels between a child’s brain development and the development of the global brain of the Internet, offering insights into the best ways to shape both. “Oh Willy,� rated PG-13, is a 15 minute animation, from Belgium. Willy, forced to return to his naturist roots, bungles his way into noble savagery. After intermission, “Wet Behind the Ears,� a 90 minute feature film rated R, from New York with Margaret Keane Williams, executive producer and lead actor, Sloan Copeland, writer, director, editor, producer. What do you do if you just graduated college? Well, most people would say it’s time to get a job. But in a country where more than half of recent college graduates are unemployed, it’s more likely that the end of college means moving back in with your parents. Join Samantha Phelps on her journey into the job market, where a minimum wage or jail time seems to be the only options. “Wet behind the Ears� takes a comical look at joblessness and adjusting to the real world in a way that will resonate with an underemployed generation.

DIRECTOR: Pondillo to be at ‘The New Charlie Wu’ premier From page 1A Pondillo wrote the script for the film in the summer of 2008 but the idea he said had been “rattling around in my head for 16 years.” He had a dream that put him on a path that changed his life. “A woman floated toward me and said, ‘Be somebody else before you’re 40.’ I suspect that in this economy a good many folk are waking to the fact they’ve got to change their lives too.” David Lawrence, who played Mr. Nugatorius in the film, is a rising Hollywood actor and was seen as a recurring guest star (playing the villain Eric Doyle) on the

The “New, True Charlie Wu’’ won six awards in 2010 as Best Comedy Short in the Smogdance International Film festival, Pomona, CA; Fifteen Minutes of Fame film festival, Palm Bay, Florida; Kent film festival, Kent, CT; Staten Island International film festival, Staten Island, NY; Wildwood festival, Wildwood, WI; and Remi Gold Award, Worldfest, Houston, TX.

The synopsis of Wednesday’s show, rated PG, follows: Charlie Wu has been an accountant for years, stuck in a job that’s sucking his soul. He knows he should leave and go for his dream, but he just can’t, or won’t quit. If he leaves his good paying position, he fears his parents and
friends will think he’s a stupid failure – and he knows he could fail. So, Charlie waits and stews as the seasons pass. One night Charlie has a vision where he meets Eudaimonia, the Queen of his soul. She whispers: “Be somebody else before you’re 30” and launches Charlie on a wild, funny, touching and
ultimately life changing musical fantasy. Says the writer, director: “If you’ve ever lost your way on life’s journey, if you ever settled for a paycheck instead of your passion, if you’ve ever postponed your special dream, The New, True, Charlie Wu is for and about you.”

KM all-stars ousted from state tourney Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11-12 year-old all-stars lost two straight games in the Dixie Youth Majors State Tournament Saturday and Sunday in Lumberton. Kings Mountain fell to West Roberson 10-0 in the opening round Saturday and then lost to Fuquay-Varina 5-4 on Sunday. Kings Mountain couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get its bats going in game one and also committed numerous errors that led to West Roberson runs. David Bell started on the mound and pitched well. He allowed only three hits, one earned run and struck out four in three innings of work but was the victim of three unearned runs in the third inning. Kings Mountain managed only two hits, a double in the first by John Harmon Melton and a single in the third by Jake Woods. West Roberson broke the game open with six runs in the fourth inning. Against Fuquay-Varina Sunday, Kings Mountain jumped on top in the bottom of the second when Frank Stump led off with a hit that got past the left fielder and left him on third base. He later scored on a passed ball. John Harmon Melton started on the mound and pitched three hitless innings, but five errors in the third inning produced four unearned runs which put Fuquay-Varina up 4-1. Kings Mountain answered with two runs in the bottom of the third to make the score 4-3. Hunter Helms pitched the next two innings, giving up one unearned run in the fifth that turned out to be the insurance run. Kings Mountain answered in the bottom of the fifth with a lead-off home run by Joe Ruffalo to pull within 5-4. David Bell pitched the last inning and held Fuquay-Varina scoreless. KM put two men on in the bottom of the sixth when Bell singled and Melton walked, but they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score. Bell led the KM offense with three hits and Melton added two. Stump, Silas Price, Ruffalo, Blake Broome and DJ Bagwell added a hit apiece.

member of my family believes that I was one of the judges for a Down H o m e Country C h e f Cook-Off. Lib Stewart T h e Managing Editor reason is that I coll e c t recipes (I got more last Thursday) and cook very little. My best friend in the kitchen is the Microwave. But I know what tastes good and the Chefs at Summit Place of Kings Mountain and Morningside of Gastonia (two Five Star senior living facilities) know how to treat your taste buds. Just ask Herald Publisher Wendy Isbell and Advertising Director Rick Hord who also were guests at the cook-off. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;battle of the culinary artsâ&#x20AC;? was between Chef Tyrone Corbitt of Summit Place of Kings Mountain and Chef Sherri Marana of Morningside of Gastonia. I voted for both to win but when the votes were tallied the top score went to Marana with Corbitt runner up. The win was by a mere eight votes. The other judges were Allen Lang-
Chamber; Ted Turner, regional director of 5 Star for the two Carolinas facilities; Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger, who has lost an amazing 90 pounds and turned away banana pudding; and Dr. Allen Clark, the medical director of the new Senior Life Care which opens in Gastonia in November. Ray Goforth was master of ceremonies, Jeff Whittington was a oneman bluegrass band for the event held at Morningside, The Boot Scooters entertained with line dancing, and it was a fun competition. The judges were the last to sample the great food as the audience watched us take a bite or more from every dish and rank them 1-5 and comment on appearance, quality, etc. The Chefs ranked high on presentation as well as taste. Born in Northern Ireland, Chef Morana moved to the US in 1988 and her first experience in a professional kitchen came at age 14. She served us Cowboy Caviar, (a one-dish meal of a variety of country vegetables) Baby Back BBQ Ribs with corn on the cob muffin, potato salad and banana pudding for dessert. Tyrone Corbitt also developed a passion for good food at a young age. His menu was Grannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fresh Garden Bites, country buttermilk fried chicken with macaroni and cheese, green beans with cherry tomatoes, and homemade sweet potato pie.
cooks
Chef Sherri Marana, first place winner, and Chef Tyrone Corbitt, runner-up. Both good cooks, they work with special diets and dietary needs, to the benefit of the residents at the two facilities they serve. Since I was raised in the country, I was really sold on the fried chicken, green beans with tomatoes, sweet potato pie, and potato salad. Since the theme was country with a bluegrass twist, Maranaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cowboy Caviar was a big hit and her homemade barbecue sauce for the entrĂŠe was exceptional. Corn on the Cob Muffin was a treat as well as banana pudding. Everything on the menu was a culinary delight. Some of the prize-winning recipes I will share with readers of The Herald.

Dixon, Construction Supervisor for the City, has been working with his crew to pressure wash all of the elements at the park, replace cracked and damaged wood and then seal and add mulch, all environmentally safe for the children. The playground was built in 2001 in one week with the help of over 2,000 volunteers. The playground will remain closed to the public until renovations are finished, with the expected completion on August 2.
Hospice Cleveland County recognized as a We Honor Veterans program partner â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospice Cleveland County is pleased to have recently partnered with the We Honor Veterans program,â&#x20AC;? said Patti Ellis McMurry, Vice President of Access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veterans may have experiences from their military service that present unique needs at the end of life and we want to be prepared to provide excellent care to these men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. Only 33% of veterans are enrolled in the VA to receive their entitled benefits and we want to educate and assist veterans and families in obtaining these benefits. Also, VA medical facilities care for only 4% of veterans at the end of life; 96% die in the community. Twenty-six million veterans are alive today; 25% of all deaths in the U.S. are veterans; and more than 1,800 veterans die each day. This is a large segment of the population who needs our care and needs our understanding of their unique needs.â&#x20AC;? To help provide care and support that reflect the important contributions made by these men and women, Hospice Cleveland
County has become a national partner of We Honor Veterans, a pioneering campaign developed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). As a We Honor Veterans partner, Hospice Cleveland County will implement ongoing veteran-centered education for their staff and volunteers to help improve the care they provide to the veterans they proudly serve. The nation is seeing many of the men and women who served in World War II and the Korean War pass away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the number of deaths of Vietnam veterans is beginning to rise. The We Honor Veterans campaign provides tiered recognition to organizations that demonstrate a systematic commitment to improving care for veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partnersâ&#x20AC;? can assess their ability to serve veterans and, using resources provided as part of the campaign, integrate best practices for providing end-oflife care to veterans into their organization.

Kings Mountain Little Theatre Inc. will conduct auditions for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Velvet Cake War,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Monday, Aug. 5, and Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 7 p.m. at Joy Performance Center, 202 S. Railroad Avenue. Veteran KMLT Director Jim Champion will direct the comedy with roles available for four men and eight women. In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmy Wyvette â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. Their outrageous antics have delighted local gossips in the small town of Sweetgum (just down the road from Fayro) and the eyes of Texas are upon them, as their selfrighteous Aunt LaMerle is quick to point out. Having â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentallyâ&#x20AC;? crashed her minivan through the bedroom wall of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doublewide, Gaynelle is one frazzled nerve away from the number one mortuarial cosmetologist in the tri-county area, is struggling to decide if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to have her long absent trucker husband declared dead. And Jimmie Wyvette, the rough-aroundthe-edges store manager of Whatleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Wear, is resorting to extreme measures to outmaneuver a prisspot neighbor for the affections of Sweet gumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest widower. But the cousins canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back out of the reunion now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on and Gaynelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosting. Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette have decided its success is the perfect way to prove Gaynelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sanity to a skeptical court-appointed See Auditions, 4B

WILSON RAY RIKARD
Ford, Rikard earn $2,000 Kings Mountain Hospital Auxiliary scholarships Two Kings Mountain students and recent graduates of Kings Mountain High School have each been awarded $2,000 scholarships from the Kings Mountain Hospital Auxiliary. Kellie Jayne Ford, daughter of Jay and Michelle Ford, and Wilson Ray Rikard, son of Julie and Quinton Rikard, plan to study in the health care field. This is the 15th year that the Auxiliary has presented scholarships in the health care field due to the generosity of Kings Mountain people supporting the Christmas Tree of Life project every December. A total of 32 students have been recipients of scholarships. Ford will be studying Pre-medicine at N. C. State University and she also plans after graduation to attend graduate school to obtain a degree in medicine, either in pediatrics or pharmaceutical areas. At Kings Mountain High School, she was active in Ambassador Club, Inter-
national Thespian Society and Beta Club. She was layout editor for the KMHS yearbook. An active Girl Scout for 14 years, she created a trail at Gateway Trail and was recognized by the city for her accomplishments. She is a student Bible leader at her church. She has also studied dancing and voice. Rikard will be attending Gardner -Webb University this fall to major in nursing with a goal to become a physician assistant. At KMHS he was active in the National Honor Society, a junior marshal, Beta Club, Ambassadors, AP Scholar, and was treasurer of the junior class. Captain of Junior and Varsity football, he coached Powder Puff football and was founder and president of Disc Golf club. Active in his church, he refereed Upward Basketball games, participated in Relay for Life and Make a Difference Day and worked at youth football camp.
Good things are on the horizon for Young and Associates. With deep roots to the area, Young and Associates have enjoyed a long relationship with the people of Shelby and Cleveland County. And from the looks of it, that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to change any time soon. Since the retirement of Eugene Young, DDS, plans have been in the works to continue his vision and they will soon be expanding to be able to treat even more of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental needs. The current owners Pauline Cahill, DDS, and Brenton Young, DDS recently broke ground for their brand new office, which is scheduled to be completed by July of 2014. The new office will be located on West Ross Grove Rd, just around the corner from their current location. In addition to being beautiful, the new office will also be more technologically advanced, and will have a greater capacity to treat pa-
GROUNDBREAKING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shelby Dental Care Center, formerly Young & Associates, recently broke ground for a new office on West Ross Grove Road in Shelby. The new building is located beside the present office and is expected to be completed in July 2014. tients in the same pastoral setting they currently enjoy. Doctors Cahill and Young also added Dr. Jessica Lackey, a lifelong Shelby native, to the team last year and she is enjoying great success in her role as an Associate. Her addition brings even more life to an already vibrant office.
By recognizing the unique needs of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness, Hospice Cleveland County is better able to accompany and guide veterans and their families toward a more peaceful ending. And in cases where there might be some specific needs related to the veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military service, combat experience, or other traumatic events, Hospice Cleveland County will find tools to help support those they are
caring for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All hospices are serving veterans, but often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service in the armed forces,â&#x20AC;? said J. Donald Schumacher, NHPCO President and CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through We Honor Veterans, we are taking a giant step forward in helping hospice and palliative care providers understand and serve veterans at the end of life and work more effectively with VA medical facilities in their communities.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;VA shares a common goal with our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospices and that is to provide
bination of a new state-ofthe-art building, and a renewed spirit, Shelby Dental Care Center will be the office to treat all of your dental needs. With the most advanced technology available, they will use their craftsmanship and dental artistry to create a smile that will last a lifetime.

Doctors Cahill and Young have also decided that a fresh new building should also come with a fresh new name and one that better to reflects the broader service of oral health care needs in our community. Young and Associates will now be known as Shelby Dental Care Center. With the com-
the best possible care specifically tailored for veterans, meeting their goals of care in their preferred setting. As we focus on working together and unite our services and skills, We Honor Veterans will channel our combined strengths directly to them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever they are receiving care.â&#x20AC;? The resources of We Honor Veterans focus on respectful enquiry, compassionate listening, and grateful acknowledgment, coupled with veteran-centered education of health care staff caring for Veter-
ans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans have done everything asked of them in their mission to serve our country and we believe it is never too late to give them a heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcome home. Now is the time that we step up, acquire the necessary skills and fulfill our mission to serve these men and women with the dignity they deserve,â&#x20AC;? added Schumacher.

Unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Things spin hilariously out of control when a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes
the best red velvet cake. As this face-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious climax, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun. Kings Mountain Little Theatre Inc. is a volunteerbased, 501Š 3 nonprofit community theater.
