Casino coming?
Drug bust
Will Kings Mountain land a casino in the future? Reams of copy in the daily newspapers and reports on area TV stations have been grinding out stories that a South Carolina Native American tribe is reportedly eyeing property in this area, which could bring a hotel, a casino and other retail business. But most importantly, a project of that magnitude could bring thousands of jobs to a county where the rate of unemployment tops 10 percent. City and county officials say discussions on economic development projects require confidentiality. They are not talking. “I was at a meeting at a local site with a representative of the Governor’s office for about 10 minutes last month to show local property,� said Ronnie Hawkins, chairman of the county board of commissioners. The site was the Jim Testa property on Dixon School Road, 45 acres beside the Roadside Truck Plaza, 400 Dixon School Road, owned by the Testa family. For several weeks surveyors have been stationed along that stretch of road just off Interstate 85. Kings Mountain City

Properties eyed for demolition City Council is eyeing two pieces of property on Edel Street in the Midpines Community for demolition. Mayor Rick Murphrey said that council will consider adopting an ordinance ordering demolition of properties neighbors complain are a public nuisance. The neighbors say 10foot high grass is up to the roof of a vacant house at 307 Edel Street, has been cut only twice in three years and is infested by rats and snakes. A storm knocked out windows in this house. The other vacant property is at 311 Edel Street. The properties lie in the city’s extra territorial jurisdiction. Among other items on the Tuesday night 6 p.m. board agenda is a public hearing on a voluntary annexation request by Infocrossing.
Law enforcement officers are arresting and have warrants for 30 suspects on 84 drug related charges in the largest criminal roundup ever, “Operation Summertime Blues.� From left to right at a press conference Friday at the Kings Mountain Police Department are Mayor Rick Murphrey, Chief of Police Melvin Proctor, mayor pro tem Rodney Gordon and Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman.

“You do drugs in Kings Mountain and we’ll put you in jail,� Chief of Police Melvin Proctor said Friday morning as the Kings Mountain Narcotics Division of KMPD conducted the largest drug bust roundup ever in Kings Mountain. Thirty people were arrested on 84 total charges related to drug activity, involving a number of controlled substances, including pain pills, methamphetamine, crack cocaine and marijuana. Kings Mountain police started picking up suspects Friday at 9 a.m., assisted by the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department and other agencies. “I’m tired of what drugs have done to this community; we won’t

He added, “Drugs affect everyone economically and a collaborative effort that we have with law enforcement will put a stop to it, that’s our goal.� Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman echoed the chief’s words. “This just goes to show this is a partnership with law enforcement agencies that was developed years ago,� He added, “The drug dealer knows no city and county boundary and we all work as a unit to use our resources and you see the result of these efforts this morning.� Proctor said “Operation Summertime Blues� began in 2012 and another operation is in the works with several agencies involved. “There are high-risk individuals that you don’t know what they’re See DRUG BUST, 5A
Back to the books Busy time as teachers and administrators pack in training, hammer out new schedules and get classrooms ready.
DAVE BLANTON When mail carrier Mary Anne Figuerua was delivering packages and letters along one of her routes on a recent Saturday morning, she encountered something that’s not unusual to her or to her line of work: a pit bull terrier, off its leash. “He popped his head up,â€? she said. “I must have startled it.â€? Within moments, the powerful male dog was in attack mode and had sunk its teeth into her bare left leg. Mail carriers are trained to respond to such incidents with a pepper spray, their first line of defense against aggressive dogs they may come across. But the pepper spray wasn’t working to fend off this canine. Fortunately, a man who Figuerua believes was the dog’s owner intervened and managed to pull it off of her before she suffered more serious injuries. “Now I can (laugh) about it,â€? said the eight-year veteran of United States Postal Service. “But at the time I was mad ‌ and scared.â€? Figuerua was quickly treated and released at the Kings Mountain Hospital emergency room for the August 10 incident, which occurred

Nearly 15,000 students will pour into Cleveland County school campuses on Monday, and for the last two weeks or so teachers, administrators and other staff have been getting ready for the late August rush of orientation, scheduling and training that accompanies a new school year. “It’s a pretty crazy time for them,� said Greg Shull, Communications Director for the Cleveland County Schools. “There’s a lot of preparation and there’s tons of training,� referring to new software that is used, among other things, to track grades and attendance. “Basically, they’re developing the blueprint for an entire year.� Most teachers reported back to work for the first time on Aug. 14, when administrators held a systemwide staff orientation. New teachers
attended a separate orientation the following day at the system’s main offices in Shelby. There was also a teacher assistant rally on Tuesday. A 7:45 a.m. breakfast honoring 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year, Principal of the Year and Teacher Assistant of the year is scheduled for Friday at the LeGrand Center in Shelby. For Sharon Brown, a 6th grade language arts teacher at Kings Mountain Intermediate School, this is a busy and energizing time of year. She’s spent the last several weeks planning activities, meeting with other teachers and, of course, decorating her room at the school. “My excitement level every year has not diminished one bit,� said the seven-year teacher, who fulfilled a lifelong goal of becoming an educator after a first act in life as an office manager and holding other jobs in the manufacturing sector. For Brown and other teachers working at that grade level, the first week of school is focused on “learning the rules, the expectations.� “That’s the starting point – respect for the other students and respect for the teachers at the school,� she said.

Campground expands with zip-line, fishpond and more on the way ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
The 60-acres of land where Park Yarn Mills once was a beehive of activity and at its heyday was employment for hundreds of people could by next spring be the busiest recreation spot in town. “We’re shooting for a grand opening in Spring 2014 at Hounds Gateway Campground Fun Park & Drive-In,� said Preston Brown, partner in the South Battleground Avenue business with his father, Mike Brown. If you visited the site two years ago you could not see the newest building that was part of the mill complex because of tons and tons of debris. Mill buildings had been torn down and the first order of renovation was removing some 100,000 tons of debris from the property – more than 100 truckloads to the landfills. Today, it’s a different scene. “Everything’s coming together,� says Preston. Just recently a fish pond was stocked with 1500 catfish and blue gill, with a zip line
running across the pond, a 26-jet Splash Pad in the works and the playground across from the main building equipped with sliding boards, horseshoes and volley ball court. Workmen have fenced the main area of the facility and this week were putting finishing touches in the main building. The renovated brick front combines the brick from the old mills to keep the old look of the mill and white metal posts to give it a modern look. The entire building is some 20,000 square feet with a 5,000 square foot banquet room that can be rented to organizations for special events; a game room, five offices, a kitchen, a laundry room for the campsite, and bathrooms for women and men which include showers, toilets and lavatories, compassing some 5,500 square feet of space. The bathrooms, offices, kitchen, and laundry room have been completed. The banquet room also includes a grill area in one end. Go carts, paddle boats, and a 18-hole miniature golf course are expected to be completed by Christmas, and a 600-car drive-in theatre is
also in the planning stages. The Browns say spring 2014 is the date earmarked for completion. Preston Brown and his nephew, Michael T. Brown, were working on a drain line and the Splash Pad this week. Their dream for Christmas 2014 is to show off the park with lights and special events. Developer Mike Brown has built and furnished four cabins near the Gateway Trail adjoining his property. He rents the cabins by night, week or month and also rents space in the campground. He said business has been good as some campers in RVs stay for long periods while they work at construction sites in the area. During the past two years the Brown family has made major inroads in their goal to establish a first class park, and since its location as neighbor to Gateway Trails, the business could evolve into a tourist attraction for the area. “We still have lots of work to do,� says Preston. Workmen are laying off the land for a 600-car drive-in theatre. Preston says he has told

his wife, Lynn, that in two years they may take a vacation. “We got no grants to help pay for this park, all out of Brown Construction,� he said. “We’re going to be proud of it and we think Kings Mountain people will be proud of it.� Recently the Browns installed a water fountain and
a small rest area off the portion of Gateway Trail that adjoins their property. Don’t call the cottages along the Trail cabins. It’s
camping out modern style. The cabins are furnished with modern equipment and with all the comforts of home.
CASINO: is one coming to Kings Mountain? From page 1A Council in May rezoned two tracts of the 45 acres from Light Industrial to General Business on request of Trent Testa. For sale signs
have been posted on the property for some time. For sale signs have come down in recent weeks. The Testa property is in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Starbucks has been educating its new employees about all aspects of the coffee business – from growing to roasting and brewing. The county’s only Starbucks location opens today at the Ingles on Shelby Hwy. DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
You may notice that folks around town are a little more wired than usual today. The credit – or blame – for that goes to Starbucks, which began serving lattes, espressos and other coffee concoctions at its new kiosk inside Ingles this morning. Work got underway at the store back in June and in the last few weeks, the world’s most famous coffee chain has been training sixteen employees to staff the new location. “They’re learning the basic drinks,� said Rhonda Ball, a merchandiser who works for the Black Mountain-based supermarket
SAVE 45%! Oversized Quad Chair w/Armrests
chain and is supervising the training. “We also have to educate them on the whole process. From the farmers and growers to the roasting of the beans. That’s all been a part of the training.� This is all good news for coffee lovers like Denver Goff of Shelby, who said he’s already a frequent shopper at that Ingles location. “My wife loves it, too,� he said, adding that they both favor double caramel lattes with whipped cream. “She can’t pass by a Starbucks. My daughter too.�
Portland Mauney, who commutes from Shelby to work as a cook at an assisted living facility in Kings Mountain, is excited about the opportunity to satisfy her fix. “I love cappuccino,� she said. “I might pop in the store just to get a cappuccino.� The Starbucks kiosk will have three to four people to staff it at any given time. “Perhaps a little more in the beginning,� Ball said.

as a feeder school for the four elementary schools in the Kings Mountain area – North, West, East, Bethware elementary campuses, as well as Grover Elementary. For many students, it’s the first time since kindergarten that they are exposed to large numbers of new classmates. That school’s principal, Henry Gilmore, rounded up 42 of his teachers for a bus trip earlier in August that visited many area neighborhoods. “It’s really good for giving them a feel for the area the school serves,� he said. The school system this year will see some new faces at the highest levels of administration. Kings Mountain Middle School named Mickey Morehead as its new principal over the summer. That post was left open by Brian Hunnell, who is now the system’s director of administrative services. At North Elementary, Amy Moss is taking over the top job. She

FIGUERUA: carrier recovering after dog attack From page 1A quarantine is mainly to determine whether the animal is rabid, which is usually fatal in mammals. The incident points up at least one danger that mail carriers face on the job. More than 5,870 postal service employees were victimized by dogs or other animals in 2012. In the Mid-Carolinas District, which encompasses the southern half of the state and most Post Offices west of Morganton, there were 43 that year and 41 in 2011, according to Carl Walton, USPS Communications Programs Specialist for the Greensboro and Mid-Carolinas Districts. To the best of his knowledge, no mail carriers have ever died from the result of their injuries, he said. “We give regular ‌ talks that often include handouts with illustrations on dog posturing, proper use of dog repellent, demonstrations on how to protect yourself with the mail satchel, instruction on how best to look for danger signs, and instruction on presenting warning letters to customers whose dogs are not properly
restrained during delivery,â€? Walton said. As for Figuerua, who is 48, it wasn’t her first run-in with an unfriendly dog. But she said that attack, which occurred about five years ago, didn’t even break the skin. Figuerua and other postal employees say they have noticed a pattern when it comes to dog attacks on the job. “Most of our dog bites happen from customers who say their dogs don’t bite,â€? said Wayne Kelly, a supervisor at Kings Mountain’s Post Office. The dog involved in the attack earlier this month remains quarantined in a county animal control shelter and is showing no signs of rabies, according to Trip Bowling, an animal control supervisor with the Cleveland County Department of Health. For now, the dog, which he described as a pit bull terrier/boxer mix has been classified as a stray and officials will eventually conduct an evaluation of the animal’s temperament and overall health. “In a year’s time, we have about 250 bites like this ‌ that being bites that breaks the skin,â€? he said, referring to countywide figures on such attacks.

For Weaver, collecting is a passion DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Mike Weaver has been a collector since he was a small child. He accompanied his father to auctions and flea markets in search of the useful, valuable or simply interesting. The habit stayed with him in his adult life, eventually turning into a passion. Years ago the Maryland native turned that passion into a business, hunting for and collecting what interested him and selling what others found interesting over the Internet. Now he’s expanded that business into a bricks-and-mortar shop in Kings Mountain called Mike’s Great Finds. City officials and members of the Cleveland County Chamber on Thursday afternoon welcomed Weaver to the business community with a ribboncutting at his 443 N. Piedmont location. “Mike’s Great Finds is as close as you will get to being an “American Picker� without actually being in the TV series,� said Michael Chrisawn, president of the Cleveland County Chamber. “I had the opportunity to visit (his shop) a

says his house functions as his warehouse, adding that the items for sale in the store are just the tip of the iceberg. He says he’ll never stop “picking� – which is the art of hunting for treasures in unlikely or forgotten places, such as barn lofts or old bomb shelters. “I still have to take a day off pretty often just to get out there and see what I can find,� he said. “We

love it.� Weaver arrived in the Charlotte area eight years ago when his job at the time as a fire protection engineer was transferred to Rock Hill. He and his four children have shifted westward since then, settling in Kings Mountain a few years ago. Mike’s Great Finds is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
KMLT membership drive Kings Mountain Little Theatre Inc. is kicking off its 2013-14 membership drive with a new membership level called “Angel,� which will offer special features and benefits including seating in the balconies. Season membership for “Angel� is available to only 20 people and funds will be used to outfit the balcony area with seating and tables. President Ken Pflieger said the 2012-13 season was one of the best seasons ever for KMLT and acknowledged support of the audience and financial contributors. “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever� and “Oklahoma� both set attendance records. Balcony renovations are currently underway and season membership packages remain a great value, he said, including four local plays
and a reciprocal ticket arrangement with Greater Shelby Community Theatre. KMLT’s season opening patron’s party is scheduled for late September. An invitation to 2012-13 supporters and 2013-14 member renewals prior to the party date will be forthcoming. The new theatre season will include: “The Red Velvet Cake� on Oct. 4, 5,6,11, 12. “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland� on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 2,6,7,8. Godspell� in March 2014, and “The Diviners� in June 2014. Memberships range from season membership $30; friend $60; Pillar $100; Cornerstone $250; and the new Angel, $500 for four balcony seats for each play, plus other benefits.

‘Wild, Wild West’ Art Camp - quite an adventure
Twenty-five young artists recently attended the annual Art Camp sponsored by the Southern Arts Society at the Kings Mountain Art Center at the Depot. Laura Laws, 14, a 9th grader at Spring Academy in Kings Mountain, said “I really liked making a drum from a coffee can covered in canvas and sealed with duct tape.� Sand painting was a favorite activity of Karlee Nantz, 9, a 4th grader at West Elementary. “I had a good time,� said Karlee
who displayed numerous items–as did other students–for their parents, grandparents and friends to “relive the camp experience.� Each young artist fashioned a western vest and wore a hat on the last day of art classes Friday in keeping with the theme, “Wild, Wild West.� Jewel Reavis and Johnsie Reavis, assisted by other volunteers from Southern Arts Society, served hotdogs with all the trimmings to the large crowd of families present for the closing
activities Friday. Students in the art class were Sarah Drennan, Maggie Honeycutt, Ella Popwell, Sara Kate Bridges, Olivia Hunt, Sally Ozmore, Jessie Ozmore, Judith Hubbard, Audry Hubbard, Chloe Hilderbrand, Max Thomson, Drew Hollifield, Landon Hollifield, Jalyn Wiggens, Karlee Nantz, Jasalyn Cash, Kate Hollifield, Ally Hollifield, Tee Hollifield, Morgan Elliott, Bailey Ledford, Jenna Peeler, Hunter Peeler, Marlee Arnold and Mary Quay Moss.

Nothing complicated for the mayor, though,

KM hosts Hunter Huss in opener Friday night
KM star Logan Smith commits to The Citadel
Kings Mountain freshman running back Darian McClain (23) rips off a big gain against AC Reynolds in last week’s Cleveland County Jamboree at John Gamble Stadium. Upper right, corner Jake Merchant (11) gets the angle to tackle AC running back.
KM defense must contain Moore Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers officially open their 2013 football season Friday night at home against a dangerous Hunter Huss team. The Huskies have an explosive offense, led by Duke recruit Kerrion Moore and junior quarterback Andrew Jordan, both of whom accounted for over 2,000 total yards of offense last season. Moore, the son of former KMHS player Jeff Lockhart of Grover, destroyed the Mountaineer defense last season at Huss, scoring on a kickoff return, pass reception and a school record 104-yard interception return. The previous two years, the Mountaineers held him to minus yardage. Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd knows it will be tough to shut down Moore, but hopes the KM defense can contain him most of the time. “He’s going to get the football a bunch of times,” Lloyd said. “We can let him run wild on us.” Moore gained over 1,000 yards rushing last year with 13 touchdowns. He also caught four touchdown passes
and returned two interceptions for scores. He’ll likely be a favorite target of Jordan, who threw for over 1,600 yards and 17 touchdowns last year. “Jordan is a good athlete,” Lloyd said. “He throws the ball good. They don’t just give it to number 4 (Moore) every time.” Lloyd said he was also impressed with the Huskies’ linebackers in scrimmages that he saw them play against the likes of Shelby, Crest, Hendersonville and Gaffney. “They’re very good,” he said, “and they also have a really good kicker. Huss stayed right with all of those teams.” Lloyd says the key for the Mountaineers is to keep the ball on offense. “We need to make some big plays and control the clock,” he said. “We need to pick our (scoring) chances but pick up first downs.” A big key for the Mountaineers will be if Xavier Johnson is ready to play. He injured his ankle in Friday’s scrimmage while trying to scoop up a punt.
X-rays were negative and he should be ready to go. Johnson, fellow junior Tico Crocker, freshman Jake Merchant and senior Keeneh Dimetros all did a good job catching the ball from new quarterback Brandon Bell. Kings Mountain lost the scrimmage to Reynolds, 27-26, but the perennial Asheville powerhouse had to come from behind in the final minutes to win. Freshman running back Darian McClain scored two of the Mountaineers’ touchdowns on two-yard runs. Merchant caught a 33-yard touchdown pass and Crocker intercepted a pass and returned it 35 yards for a TD. The difference in the score was that KM missed two of its four extra point tries and the Rockets hit 3 of 4. Lloyd hopes to see improvement in his defense this week, as Reynolds’ skill players also had a field day. “We need to get off our blocks and run to the ball, and slow them down,” he said. “We don’t want to get in a shootout.”
Kings Mountain High volleyball standout Logan Smith won’t have to worry about calls from recruiters during her senior season. The All-Conference star has given a verbal commitment to play volleyball at The Citadel, a military school in Charleston, SC. Smith has visited The Citadel on many occasions and is excited about playing there for Coach Amir Khaledi. “I went down there last year just to visit,” Smith said Monday morning before heading to the KMHS gym for the Lady Mountaineers’ season opener with East Rutherford. “I didn’t think I could go at all. I felt like it would be so much discipline and military lifestyle. But I thought it was beautiful after I got there. When I talked to the coach he told me about their engineering program and foreign language program and that really interested me.” On her second visit Smith said she fell in love with the school. “It was so pretty and everybody was so welcoming,” she said. “I’ve taken three trips there and it was so welcoming and so nice and I loved it each time.” She went to Charleston on August 15 to meet all the volleyball players and watch them practice. “I loved their practice and how their coach runs the team,” she said. “I got to spend about an hour with the girls. I got to know them and how they feel about The Citadel. They got to feel me out and see how they liked me. We ate lunch and all the girls said they love it there. They said they wouldn’t take it back for anything. So I’m really excited.” Smith said she was just as impressed with Coach Khaledi. “He was the most welcoming guy I have ever met,” she noted. “He was so nice. He was very encouraging in me visiting and meeting the girls. He is always so positive and I love that. I love the way he runs the practice. He is just a nice man overall.” A setter, Smith said she expects her first year at The Citadel will be a learning process but she hopes to get a lot of playing time all four years there. “At my position, they have a junior already,” she noted. “The other person at setter is a freshman. A setter is like the quarterback. Basically, he said I am coming to learn from their other setters. I can get the feel of things and basically learn everything. So it’s up to him. He really didn’t say if I would start.” Being a military school, Smith said The Citadel requires all students to have short hair (less than three inches long) and go through strict military training. But they are more lenient on ath-
LOGAN SMITH letes. She plans to have her mother, Pam, who is a hair stylist, cut her hair just before she enters school. “The coach told me the military lifestyle definitely affects athletes, but it doesn’t affect them as much as other students. Athletes get more privileges. Regular students have to ask for permission if they want to eat. If upper classmen feel they shouldn’t eat that day they say no. Athletes go into a different floor of the cafeteria or cafe and get special foods…healthy, fresh foods. It’s pretty good. It’s better than what normal students get.” Smith said sometimes it’s hard for The Citadel to get the very best volleyball players because they don’t want to cut their hair. “I’m excited to cut my hair,” she said. “They said do it before you come down there. They have two barbers. If you let them cut it they’ll have a field day. If you have it short already they’ll pass you on through.” After her senior year at KMHS, Smith said she will play club volleyball until next June and then start a vigorous training routine for her freshman season. “I’m definitely going to get more in shape,” she said.”I will have to run more than I already do and start lifting weights more.” But, before then, she hopes to lead the Lady Mountaineers to the SMAC championship and deep in the state 3A playoffs. A three-year varsity starter, she helped lead them to the Big South 3A title two seasons ago and a second place finish last year. “I think we’re going to be awesome,” she said. “I think we’re going to do very well, actually. Our team’s been like a family. We’ve worked together and played together for a long time. Since we’re losing so many seniors this has to be a good year for us. “We should be really good in the conference,” she added. “We’re hoping to be conference champions.”

Kings Mountain High’s men’s soccer team opened its season Monday night with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Stuart Cramer High in the Storm’s first-ever soccer match on their home field. The first-year team from Cramerton played extremely well and mounted a comeback in the second half. Isaiah Cole opened the scoring for Kings Mountain at the 30-minute mark off a super cross from Jordan Sweezy. The half ended with
just one goal differential even though the Mountaineers had several good looks at the goal. In the second half, the Storm put the Mountaineers under a great deal of pressure and tied the score at the 65th minute mark on a goal by Zack Hamam off a super cross. Less than a minute later, the Mountaineers would answer the bell with the game winner as Brian Lysek scored off a cross from Cole
