Some folks are having difficulty driving through the intersection of Cansler Street and W. Gold Street with the new signals there. Flashing lights at an intersection can be confusing, but the rules to drive through them are relatively straight forward. If you approach a flashing yellow light, it has the same meaning as a warning sign: a flashing yellow signal light warns you to be careful. Slow down and be especially alert. Approaching vehicles facing the yellow flashing light may proceed through the intersection with caution, yielding the right-of-way to vehicles in or approaching

the intersection. Vehicles approaching the intersection from your left and right are required to stop before proceeding through. On the other hand, a flashing red light has the same meaning as a stop sign: STOP! After stopping, proceed when safe and observe the right-of-way rules. Approaching vehicles facing the red light shall stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles in or approaching the intersection. The right to proceed shall be subject to the rules applicable to making a stop at a stop sign. Vehicles approaching the intersection from your left and right have the right-of-way, so wait until they clear the intersection to proceed.

Cleveland was designed to help solve two problems: 1) Cleveland County has an urgent need for skilled workers to fill jobs with major manufacturers; and 2) Cleveland County has more than 9,000 residents who are employed full-time but are making less than a living wage. On July 29, 2019 the first graduating class from Accelerate Cleveland graduated and almost all graduates signed on for work with three employers: Greenheck, Clearwater and NEG. “We could not be more proud of the individuals who have graduated from Accelerate Cleveland,” said County Commission Chair Susan Allen. “They all took a leap of faith by participating in this new program and seven weeks later, they all have job offers.” "We appreciate the support we have received from Cleveland County's largest employers," Allen added. "The fact that these hiring managers extended offers to the graduates validates that this initiative is on the right track." “As we expand economic development in Cleveland County,” said Allen, “the demand for a skilled, job-ready workforce is a critical com-

Accelerate Cleveland’s curriculum was designed to combine three core components: soft skills training, Certified Production Technician (CPT), and the Career Readiness Certificate (CRC). The core curriculum – Certified Production Technician - consists of four modules: safety, quality practices and measurement, manufacturing processes and maintenance awareness. During the program, participants can tour major manufacturing facilities that are partnering with Accelerate Cleveland. These tours enable participants to understand job roles and expectations, and it helps them make informed decisions about where they want to work when they complete Accelerate Cleveland. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Accelerate Cleveland is funded by manufacturing partners, foundations and agencies, with support from the County. Upon completion of the program, participants are not guaranteed a job, but they are given an opportunity to interview with each of the industry partners. Partnering companies are committed to interviewing program graduates.

OPINION

TODAY’S QUOTE: As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. – John F. Kennedy

Pieces of Kings Mountain History Last week, Sonya McAbee posted a photo of North ElLORETTA ementary COZART School on the IF YOU LIVED IN KINGS MOUNTAIN FROM 1960 TO 1985’s Facebook page. Sonya always reminds readers about times growing up in the north side of the town. In her comment, she wrote, “Riding past North Elementary School today made me smile from ear to ear. It looks exactly the way I remember it growing up in the 60’s. I loved going to our bright and sunny cafeteria where sweet and loving ladies cooked us homemade delicious meals.” At that moment, a flood of memories came pouring in and I suddenly

felt 10 years old again, remembering fondly my years at North School. The cafeteria was a place bustling with activity, ladies preparing snacks for first graders: applesauce, ginger snaps, and orange juice. Simultaneously, our lunches were being prepared; the cafeteria staff worked like a well-oiled machine. Folks weighing in on the conversation argued as to which school’s lunches were better. While everyone claimed their school’s cooks were best, I suspect they were equally good and that the staff worked from a prepared meal plan. The conversation quickly turned to what was the best lunch. Jackie Ledford Goode voted for the rectangular pizzas. Those were very popular, because Kings Mountain

didn’t have a pizzeria at the time. Others voted for the vegetable soup and cheese toast, pintos and greens, apple crisp, fried chicken, tuna salad on lettuce, liver mush and yellow grits, Salisbury Steak, pear slices on leaf lettuce with cheese on top, and cobblers. The single item with the most votes was yeast rolls. Their heavenly smell wafted through the school’s hallways, making everyone hungry. Kids always loved the cornbread. Many would poke a hole in the top and on the sides, shoving in the ketchup dispenser and filling it with ketchup goodness. Oddly, I always associate North School’s custodian with the cafeteria staff, because I often saw him there. He told us to call him Mr. T. He was a kind man whom

the students loved. More than once students witnessed him doing an act of kindness for a classmate which that endeared him to many. Contributors shared the names of the cafeteria staff they remembered: Elaine Ross, Mrs. Marlowe, Ginny Gibson. Even the cafeteria staff from other schools were shared: Mrs. Gallman at East, and Mrs. Ward from West. Charlotte Johnson shared, “I remember cafeteria received an order of canned black olives. They put a couple on your plate more than one time. To this day I can’t even look at a black olive. Remember the library and cafeteria were combined?” I vaguely remember it was but can’t picture it in my mind anymore. Lynn L. Brown described North School well

when she wrote, “(I had) “Old” Ms. Beam, Mrs. Spratt, MS McGill, Miss Roberts, Mars McCarter, and Mrs. Falls. I can’t remember what I wore yesterday but these teachers at North - I will always remember. It was special then. Everyone took pride in their work, whether it was teaching or cooking in the cafeteria. Good memories.” Sonya McAbee Gregory weighed in saying, “I also loved my 6th grade teacher Mrs. Sheilds (Jane King). She was my very favorite teacher of all!” Mrs. Kings always urged our class to do our best and gave us extra-credit if we could spell the longest word in the English language at the time, antidisestablishmentarianism. I always loved a challenge and got those extra points.

Jane Lovelace Redmon shared the thoughts of many when she wrote, “I sure remember the love and care and professionalism of the teachers and our principal, Hal Bryant. Not only were the teachers great at educating us for our futures, but they taught us character and morals and encouraged us to be our best and do our best.” Thanks to the teachers, administrators, cafeteria staff, custodians, and students, North Elementary School was a very special place. We were more than a school; we were a community. We challenged ourselves to do our best and had a little fun doing it. We laughed and cried together, and along the way we made some very special lifelong memories.

Looking back By Loretta Cozart In a 1914, the Herald ran an advertisement promoting a blacksmith shop in the back lot of Mauney Store on Cherokee Street. Early Kings Mountain Sanborn Maps show this lot, referring to as the Hitching Yard, because it was a place that shoppers could hitch their horses. Having a blacksmith there was a convenient offering. From the ad, it appears the proprietor was P.B. Falls. Later the Hitching Yard became a parking lot for vehicles, as automobiles became more affordable. Perhaps the first Town Hall was also located in the lot fronting Cherokee Street and would have

been located beside 238 Pizzeria. Another more recent establishment in the lot was Saunder’s Clean-

ers. Those buildings are long gone now, but the use of the lot for parking continues.

■ MEDITATION

Heart to Heart Whenever I read the Word of God, the Holy Spirit speaks to my heart. Then, I pour my heart back out to the Lord through my worship, prayer, and adoration of Him. This intimate dialogue between the Lord’s heart and my own occurs because the Word of God is living and powerful, discerning the DANYALE PATTERSON thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). Also, Jesus - who is the Word made flesh (John 1:14) - desires for us to draw near to Him. In return, He promises to draw near to us! (James 4:8) During one of my “heart to heart” moments with the Lord, I began to meditate on the goodness of God. As I meditated, I was prompted to turn one of my favorite passages of scripture, Psalm 63:1-8, into a heartfelt poem. Here is that poem:

A POEM OF PSALM 63

When I ponder about you at night, Praise will come forth with all my might.

O Lord, you are mine. You are merciful, loving and kind.

You have been my refuge, help and strong tower. I rejoice about your wondrous acts and power.

I get up early to seek your face, To fellowship with you, to get a taste. Of your goodness, my soul hungers and thirst. You are my God. You are first. My spirit yearns to be with Thee. Nothing else satisfies. I need you to be with me. I long to see your presence like in the temple, Glorious, Amazing, Holy, and Gentle Because your favor is more valuable than anything, Praises from my mouth will continue to ring. I will magnify you in this earth. I will lift up my hand showing your worth.

I will cling and I will chase hard after you, As long as I live, that’s what I will do. I encourage you today to begin this year by putting God first in every area of your life, and to open your heart to receive from His! Through these heart to heart moments, your relationship with Him will grow and deepen in ways you never could have imagined! Danyale Patterson is an Evangelist and member of Engage Church.

HOUSE

dressmaker was an artist and that some example of her work should be kept forever. We think that is a crazy idea, but we set aside the dress to humor mom. The Mint Museum was delighted. They wanted the dress. Mom was right again. Who will take the desk? Who will take the chest? Clear them out first. The letters. The photos. The old catalogs. Canceled checks from many years ago. Tax returns. There are thousands of photos. How can there be so many? One photo of my father when he was much younger than I am today is indistinguishable from a recent picture of my son. I go into a misty dream that brings him back alive and puts the three of us together as contemporaries and buddies. Letters. Letters. Letters. My brother settles in with the letters between my parents. Written 50 years ago they described their jobs and the pains of bearing children, moving, living through hard times with

optimism, and of loving each other. My brother is moved and cannot be pulled away. But where will these letters be stored? Who will hold them for the grandchildren? The doorbell rings. He comes in like a character from a Greek play--to bring a conclusion to our own drama. It is the flea market man. He helps us build a pile of our treasures for his bid. “I’ll give you an extra $50 for the old telephone. Maybe I can double my money. Maybe not. Thanks a lot. I have sure enjoyed getting to know you folks.” And we are finished. The last box is on the curb. Now the tears can come.

From Page 4A church? Who takes the pitcher that brought Mom’s mint-lemon iced tea to the table? Who keeps the bell that brought us to dinner together? Did we really eat supper together every evening? Who will take the books? The bookshelves in this house were such welcome places. Every book had a story to tell, with some special connection to our family. All the books together were a reflection of my parents and their special interest in ideas and places and people. Books signed by their authors evoke memories of special friendships and connections. Where will those books go? What will the grandchildren say if we give up any of them? Clean out the closets. Old ties, old dresses. Suddenly Mom thinks that the Mint Museum in Charlotte will be interested in one of her dresses for its collection. She thinks the

Who is this? By Loretta Cozart Last week’s person in the our Who is this? article was identified as Sam Oates. John Phifer, Marvin Caveny and Buford Ware called to confirm. John Phifer said he use to play on the street all the time. According to Phifer, Oates and many musicians performed there

in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Buford Ware said, “Mr. Oates lived in a 2-room house; he lived in one room and kept chicks in the other. We went over to his house and he gave us a watermelon.” In those days, it wasn’t uncommon for people to keep chicks indoors until

the weather warmed and the chicks were large enough to protect themselves. This week’s person was featured in the 1938 to 1940 film. This fellow appears to be working in the Post Office. If you recognize him, email Loretta Cozart at lhcozart@cccom.com or call the Herald at 704-739-7496.

Make these resolutions and give scams a miss The Better Business Bureaus of the Southern Piedmont reminds us that scammers are constantly devising new tricks and refining old ones.

Most scams urge you to act right now, before you’ve had a chance to consider your options. Always be sure to do your research. Depending on the occasion, this can be anything from getting three contractor quotes to performing a quick online search. Just don’t be pressured into a commitment before doing your homework.

PLAN From Page 1A This 10,000 sq. ft. Johnson Building has a new roof, windows, HVAC system, bathrooms, and stairways. Only the building’s 1914 tin ceiling remains unchanged, tying new history to the old. After a fire in 1914, one of W. A. Mauney’s last renovations added a trendy tin ceiling to both the Mauney Bros. Store and Mauney Drug Store. The McGill / Ruppe building’s new glass front gives it great curb appeal.

Young orators earn some of the most generous college scholarships available to high school students. Over $188,000 in scholarships can be awarded each year. The overall national contest winner gets a $20,000 scholarship. Second place takes home $17,000, and third gets $15,000. Each department (state) winner who is certified into and participates in the national contest’s first round receives a $2,000 scholarship.

Greg Brockington puts up an underhand layup for two of his game-high 23 points in Kings Mountain’s Big South win over Stuart Cramer Friday night at Parker Gym.

Mountaineers defeat Cramer 102-71, girls stay in contention with 54-32 win Late in the fourth quarter of Kings Mountain’s Big South basketball game with Stuart Cramer Friday night at Parker Gym, the Mountaineer fans began the chant “We want Titus… We want Titus.” Seconds later Coach Grayson Pierce granted them their wish, sending junior Titus Phillips into the game. Not long after that, Phillips made their night when he canned three straight three-pointers, with the last one swishing the net to break the century mark in the Mountaineers’ 102-71 victory. The win kept the defending BSC champs within one game of leagueleader Hunter Huss heading into the final two weeks of the regular season. Kings Mountain was scheduled to face North Gaston last night and they will entertain Huss Friday and Ashbrook next Tuesday for games that could decide the conference championship. Kings Mountain’s girls also kept their championship hopes alive with a 54-32 victory. The boys game didn’t look like a blowout at the beginning when the Purple Storm built an early lead. But, the Mountaineers finally took control after Matt Toms hit two consecutive threes for an 18-13 advantage. Greg Brockington, who is just now getting into action after an injury, popped

Kings Mountain’s Kennedy Barnes (33) puts up a short jumper in Friday’s game with Stuart Cramer at Parker Gym. a three for the first of his game-high 23 points to spark a run that resulted in a 32-18 lead after the first quarter. The Mountaineers got a half-court shot at the buzzer from Isaiah Tate to go into halftime with a 62-32 lead and were out front 86-54 heading into the fourth period. By that time, all of the starters were on the bench cheering the subs on. Phillips’ first trey came with 2:40 left to give the Mountaineers a 95-62 lead,

and he canned another with 1:30 remaining to make it 98-66. LT Thomas had a chance to put the 100th point on the board when he was fouled with 1:07 remaining. He hit the first shot for a 99-67 lead, but missed the second. However, the Mountaineers regained possession when the Storm lost the ball out of bounds and they got the ball to Phillips in the corner and his shot hit nothing but net as the Mountaineers posted

their second 100-plus point night of the season. Eleven of KM’s 13 players got into the scoring act, with Tate (18), Matt Toms (15) and Rasheem Hughes (13) joining Brockington in double figures. Kings Mountain’s girls rolled to a 19-2 first quarter lead and were never threatened as they improved to 5-2 in the Big South and 6-12 overall. Saniya Wilson scored 10 of her game-high 24 points See CRAMER, Page 5B

Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams swept county rivals Crest and Burns last week. It wasn’t easy for the boys, who squeaked past both foes, but the girls won rather handily, 60-39 over Crest and 61-39 over Burns. The Mountaineers had a much tougher time with Burns than they did in an earlier lop-sided win at Parker Gym, but managed to come out on top 64-59. At Crest, it was a typical Mountaineer-Charger battle but KM survived 75-72. The Lady Mountaineers got 26 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals from sophomore standout Shaniya Wilson in the win over the Lady Chargers. Freshman Khalia King chipped in with 11 points and senior Essence Houser had a good all-around game with seven points, three assists and three steals. Zyiaa Hamrick led the Lady Chargers with 10 points. The Crest ladies stayed right with the Lady Mountaineers in the first quarter but KM gained the momentum in the second period and won going away. The Mountaineers got off to a quick start and built an 18-12 first period lead but Crest came back to cut it to 33-32 at the half and it remained anyone’s game after that. Kobe Paysour had an outstanding all-around game and finished with 27 points. Weston Hughes added 14. Jadin Merritt led the Chargers with 25 points. Wilson was in top form again on Wednesday, putting up 35 points in the victory over Burns. She also had five steals and six rebounds. Houser played a complete game as well, contributing 15 points, three steals and five rebounds. Andrea Melton scored five points and Khalia King, Daraniah Chjambers and Kennedy Barnes added two each. Spikes led the Lady Bulldogs with 20 points. The Mountaineers had some starters out and the Bulldogs put on one of their best showings of the See SWEEPS, Page 2B

Do I Have to File Taxes? Dear Savvy Senior, What are the IRS income tax filing requirements for seniors this year? I didn’t file a tax return last year because my 2018 income was below the filing requirements, but I got a parttime job late last year in 2019, so I’m wondering if I need to file this year. Semi-Retired

older; or $27,000 if you’re both over 65). • Married ﬁling separately: $12,200 at any age. • Head of household: $18,350 ($20,000 if age 65 or older). • Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child: $24,400 ($25,700 if age 65 or older).

Dear Semi, Whether or not you are required to ﬁle a federal income tax return this year depends not only on how much you earned last year (in 2019), but also the source of that income, as well as your age and your ﬁling status.

To get a detailed breakdown on federal ﬁling requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “Tax Guide for Seniors” (publication 554) or see IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ p554.pdf.

Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s IRS tax filing requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2019 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefits, unless you are married and filing separately – was below the threshold for your filing status and age, you may not have to file. But if it’s over, you will. • Single: $12,200 ($13,850 if you’re 65 or older by Jan. 1, 2020). • Married filing jointly: $24,400 ($25,700 if you or your spouse is 65 or

Check Here Too There are, however, some other financial situations that can require you to file a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS filing requirements. For example, if you earned more than $400 from self-employment in 2019, owe any special taxes like an alternative minimum tax, or get premium tax credits because you, your spouse or a dependent is enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace (Obamacare) plan, you’ll need to file.

You’ll also need to file if you’re receiving Social Security benefits, and onehalf of your benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest exceeds $25,000, or $32,000 if you’re married and filing jointly. To figure all this out, the IRS offers an interactive tax assistant tool on their website that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to file, or if you should file because you’re due a refund. It takes less than 15 minutes to complete. You can access this tool at IRS.gov/ help/ita – click on “Do I Need to File a Tax Return?” Or, you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. You can also get face-to-face help at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. See IRS.gov/localcontacts or call 800-829-1040 to locate a center near you. Check Your State Even if you’re not required to file a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from filing state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very different. Check

Fashion show features scripture clothing Fashion shows are not common in Cleveland County, but Gardner-Webb University (GWU) is presenting one that is even more unusual than most. The clothing items for this fashion show will be made of mixed media and will be wearable sculptures that display biblical content. Set for Monday, Feb. 3, 2020, at 7 p.m. in GWU’s Tucker Student Center, the Bible App fashion show is the creation of Delaware artist Stephanie Lael Barrick and is part of the GWU Distinguished Artists Series. “My hope is that this God-honoring wearable sculpture will bring to life

content from the word of God,” says Barrick. “Gardner-Webb students, faculty and staff will model these one-of-a-kind art garments in a unique presentation of truth, beauty and goodness. This body of work displays biblical content that explains, encourages and applies the truths of scripture to daily life and decisions.” During the fashion show, the wearable sculptures will be displayed by the GWU models walking a runway as Barrick will explain her inspiration for each piece. “I use the written word of God to make clothing — wearable art,” says Barrick. “The content and often the physical material used in the sculptures are God’s word.” One item featured in the show is a dress called “Steeped in Scripture” because it is made of tea bags to “illustrate how we should be soaking up scripture “Sheep’s Clothing” was inspired by the warning in Mat- continually,” accordthew 7:15 to “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in ing to Barrick. “As tea leaves steep, the sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

This dress, titled “Steeped in Scripture,” is made of tea bags to illustrate how we should be soaking up scripture continually. hot water is changed as the tea integrates into it. I hope audience members will allow the word of God to change them by steeping in scripture as well.” Barrick points to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as inspiration for this piece: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” After the Feb. 3 show, Barrick’s clothing sculptures will continue to be on

view through March 26, 2020, in GWU’s Ali Pouryousefi Memorial Art Gallery in Tucker Student Center. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m, Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. “I hope those who see the fashion show and the exhibit will find these pieces inspiring, informative and delightful,” says Barrick. For more information about the artist and the show, visit Barrick’s website at www.StephanieLaelBarrick.com.
