4 seek 3 seats on County Board Voters will go to the polls in a local competitive race Nov. 3 to elect three members of the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners from a candidate list of four. Incumbents Johnny Hutchins, Kings Mountain, Ronnie Whetstine, Shelby, board Vice-Chair, political newcomers Kevin Gordon of Shelby, all Republicans, and Democrat Shaun Murphy, Kings Mountain, face-off in the general election. Susan Allen, board chairman, did not seek re-election because of planned family activities. Other members of the board not up for re-election this year are Republicans Doug Bridges and Deb Hardin, both of Shelby.
“Cleveland County has always been my home,’’ said Johnny Hutchins. He continued, “After serving in the United States Army I returned to Kings Mountain to start and raise my family. Over 20 years I volunteered and was Captain of the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad, so leadership and service define who I am. ‘’After retiring from the mining industry I felt the need to do something that would help better the lives of my children and grandchildren, so instead of talking about it I ran for county commissioner. Working for the people of Cleveland County is an honor,’’ said Hutchins. ‘’I have great interest in
improving and making this county the best it can be, for everyone, my greatest ‘’assets - live, work, worship and go to school here,’’ Hutchins added, Since being elected Hutchins said he has dedicated himself, giving 100 percent to Cleveland County, county employees and the citizens. “As your county commissioner, I will continue to make myself easily accessible for your concerns and issues. There are many projects that I am a part of that need to be completed and I will continue to work diligently for the development of Cleveland County,’’ he added. “My goals are simple - to See SEATS, Page 5A

The company will invest $24 million to establish a new production facility in Kings Mountain. “Even during a pandemic, companies like Benestar Brands can expand operations because of our strong workforce, quality transportation network and management of this crisis,” said Governor Cooper.

City Council considers economic incentive grants Oct. 24 By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain City Council will address the issue of economic incentive grants for the recently announced Benestar Brands (Project CHIPPY) and the yet to be disclosed Project TRIPLE PLAY during their
meeting on October 27 at 6 pm. Currently, the city does not have an Economic Incentive Grant policy but has been discussing one in closed session. The Herald reached out to Kings Mountain’s City Manager, Marilyn Sellers regarding the methodology being used in framing these agreements. Sellers replied, “Staff

is still working on information for our economic agreement. At the minimum we are adopting what Gaston County and Cleveland County are approving. We currently work very close with Gaston County’s economic development commission and Cleveland County’s economic development partnership regarding incentives.’
In the public notice that ran in Herald on October 14, it was shared, “The City of Kings Mountain proposes a financial grant that would be at least equivalent or similar to the Level 4 financial incentive grant approved on September 22, 2020 by the Gaston County Board of Commissioners.” To better understand what
a Level Four incentive grant means, the Herald referred to Gaston County’s Economic Development Commission’s Local Investment Grant Program documentation, since that is one after which Kings Mountain’s agreement will be mirrored. Under Gaston County’s Level 4 Industrial See COUNCIL, Page 8A

OPINION
Wednesday, October 21, 2020
TODAY’S QUOTE:
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. –John F. Kennedy
Pieces of Kings Mountain History Shopping in Kings Mountain is something I enjoy. I try to shop somewhere LORETTA in town COZART every time I visit to support local businesses. But last weekend, the leaves of Autumn called me to the mountains. I could hear their voices calling on the wind. My husband heard them, too. So early Saturday morning we packed the car and headed west… to Asheville. Once there, we visited a few favorite shops, mostly antique stores on the outskirts of town. We like these places because we never know what we’ll find there. At 60years old, it is fun to see so many of the household items and toys from our childhood. And the conversations those items spark always make me smile. Afterward, we drove Uptown and were surprised to see so many people out and about. It really shouldn’t have
surprised us because Asheville is a destination city that draws thousands of people every weekend, even more during leaf season. While it is a little early for vibrant leaf colors in Asheville just yet, the city provided lots of colorful characters and distractions. We grabbed an early dinner since most restaurants take reservations and we hadn’t planned ahead. Nonetheless, we were seated right away at a wonderful Italian restaurant on Broadway Street and enjoyed a hearty meal of Bolognese. The building featured a tin ceiling like ones we have in a few stores in town. It reminded me of home. An hour and a half later, we decided to shop along Broadway Street before driving home. To my pleasure, I noticed everyone wore masks. Shopkeepers posted signs encouraging people to do so and they even have a mask wearing campaign: Love Asheville: Pro Mask = Pro Asheville. What a positive message. Peo-

added her own touch to the mask-wearing message, taking creative license with the words to Queen’s song We Will Rock You: No mask on your face,
You big disgrace, Spreading your germs all over the place We laughed all the way to Mast General Store. As we walked through their doors, we were immediately greeted by a woman welcoming us. The two story shop was filled with people, shopping, sharing, and laughing. Some visited the candy section, while others browsed the clothing. People sat in chairs in the center of the shop and chatted. Mast sure knows how to make folks feel welcome. As we drove home, my mind wondered if we’d ever get a Mast General Store in Kings Mountain. I hope we do one day. It would be a great draw to downtown and would support the Gateway Trail. And the Gateway Trail would, in turn, support them. It could be one of those synergistic relationships everybody talks about. Later, my husband and I reflected on our visit to Asheville. It is a beautiful, wacky place. It is an excellent example
that even during a pandemic, people can do things right. Business can go on while helping each other stay safe. I long for the day when business in downtown Kings Mountain is bustling again. When I was young, we had parking meters everywhere downtown and spaces were hard to find. Cherokee Street parking lot was always full. People would park blocks away and walk. Kids from Central filled Griffin’s Drug Store’s Soda Fountain after school and just navigating the sidewalk on Battleground Avenue was a challenge in itself. Whatever Kings Mountain’s downtown becomes, I hope it is filled with the warmth and welcome I experienced at Mast General Store filled with people, shopping, sharing, laughing and enjoying life. Our town is open for business and we welcome you in.

SEATS From Page 1A work for the people to make Cleveland County a better place to live. Working with Economic Development, I have and will continue to support all public entities such as the Fire Departments, EMS and law enforcement to make certain they have the resources they need to continue to provide excellent service and protection for the county, Hutchins added. “Thank you for your support. Together we can make a difference,’’ he added. “As a native to Cleveland County it has been my ongoing desire to improve the place we live, work, play and worship,’’ said Ronnie Whetstine. He continued, “I feel our county and state is the best place in the country to reside.” Whetstine says he has served on many boards and projects as he and his wife, Susan, raised their daughter and built WW Contractors, Inc. into a business that has provided over 300 homes for the citizens of the county. He lists some of the accomplishments led by the commissioners and goals. • Built and develop Cleveland County for growth. • Protect our conservative Christian values.
• Keep taxes low. • Grow our workplace by promoting economic development including innovative ideas such as the Charlotte Back Yards program. • Tele-medicine expanded from Graham School to Marion and Jefferson Elementary in Shelby and North, East, West and Bethware in Kings Mountain. • County-wide insurance rating for property owners decreased an average of $15 per month due to implementation of VFD Strategy Plan. • Accelerate Cleveland-Program to help under-employed to move up to higher paying jobs which help employers advance and employers find higher qualified workers. Graduate salaries doubled after placement. (average wage approximately $42,000.) • Find more efficient ways of doing business, including replacement of out -dated IT and software systems. First upgrade in over 30 years. • Work to improve overall health of the county by supporting green spaces, trails, parks and the West End Reach. • Support all 15 municipalities within the county by sharing information, resources and working together on projects. Kevin Gordon says his opportunity to fill one of the candidacy seats for county commissioner parallels his professional
background and is of much interest after a 30-year career in public service including leadership roles in both city and county governments. After retiring as Deputy Fire Chief for the Charlotte Fire Department in 2018 he serves as Director of Emergency and Fire Services for Gaston County. Gordon is Chief Emeritus of the Waco Fire Department having served as a volunteer fireman since 1984 and for a number of years as Fire Chief. At Waco he led the transition of Waco Fire Department from a volunteer department to a combination department. A FLSA compliance program began July 1, 2017 paying stipends to volunteers and paid daytime firefighters. At Charlotte Fire Department he led a department of 1,207 and had a successful track record serving as chair of the joint legislative committee for NC State Firefighters Association and NC Association of Fire Chiefs and for five years instrumental in passing key pieces of legislation which became NC Session law. He is a past president of the NC Firefighters Association. Gordon resides in Shelby with his wife, Sherry, and their Labrador Retriever. The Gordons have two sons, Alex (Macy) and Zachary (Ann Marie) and grandson Elliott James Gordon. Gordon ‘s platform: • Strong advocate for
all public safety agencies, unwavering support for the Sheriff’s Department, Fire Departments, EMS, and Rescue Squads. • Proficient in maximizing efficiency of county operations and resources by modernizing outdated systems, processes and technology. • Champion of Economic Development and the creation of jobs with decent salaries and benefits to create sustainable growth within the county. • Experienced fiduciary manager with over 30 years public service in both city and county operations. • Steadfast proponent of fiscal sustainability, responsible spending, and effective use of county resources. Dedicated to fiscal conservatism, protecting conservative values, transparency in the county operation and improving the health and wellness of our citizens. • Facilitator of regional collaboration with adjoining counties and intergovernmental collaboration with the towns and cities in the county. .Partner who will maintain the state-county relationship through effective communication and maintain positive working relationships at all levels to acquire needed resources for our citizens. Born in Shelby and raised in Kings Mountain, Shaun Murphy’s mother and father were soldiers.
A 2004 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, he attended Appalachian State University from 2011-2013. He says since a young boy he has been a big fan of food, video games, music and swimming. “Learning life lessons the hard way eventually taught me that I really wanted to do something to give back to the community and that I could serve a higher purpose than just existing. I got my start serving on the John Henry Moss Reservoir Commission from June 2017-19 when I moved outside Kings Mountain city limits,’’ said Murphy. Growing up in Cleveland County all his life, Murphy said he’s more than qualified to have an influence and interest in what happens in the county. Said Murphy, “I know what it’s like to work long hours for not enough pay like so many of our residents do every day. While I can relate to many I feel I can better relate to anyone who has ever needed a second chance at anything or has ever had to start over from scratch. I know that life is not always perfect and that sometimes struggle is necessary to get to a better position. With me as county commissioner I promise to struggle for us all to get to a better position, a position where we can all thrive.”

Hope in the Lord Today continues the third in a series of hope and what it means to hope in the Lord. Dr. Jonathan Today, let M. Bundon us continue Worship Pastor First Baptist to explore Kings Mountain both what it means to hope in the Lord and how to live out the hope we have in Christ. Living a hope-filled life doesn’t mean to ignore the world around us in some sort of happy daydream. Nor does living a hopefilled life in Christ mean we will always be cheerful and free from worry. As
humans, we fail, worry, and can become overly concerned with the temporary. When we live a hope-filled life, we put our focus on the right things, or should I say the right One. By putting our focus on Christ and resting in his unchanging word, we are better equipped to handle the craziness of life. Last week we mentioned prayer and reading God’s word as two ways to hope in the Lord. Today, we look at another way to hope in the Lord, singing! We need to sing praises to God! Sing to God in the face of adversity. Praise God amid trials. We see in the Bible where music was used in situations of war
Part 3
to rally the troops(Joshua instructed the troops to shout and blow trumpets at Jericho and the walls came tumbling down), teach godly truths, and comfort those who are hurting. The same could be said today. Famous Hymn writer, Fanny Crosby, penned well over 5000 hymns in her life. Crosby, who was blind almost from birth, combatted her struggles in life by hoping in the Lord and writing hymns of praise to God. Today, her words still speak the truth and bring comfort. Among her more famous writings, Blessed Assurance continues to be one of the most well-known songs worldwide.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels, descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest, Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long;
Wednesday, October 21, 2020 This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. Fanny’s hope was not in the temporary, but the eternal. Her focus was not on the challenges and obstacles, but instead, she focused on the One who can move mountains. Take heart, my friends! Though we face struggles in life, Christ is with us and will be both now and forever. Jesus, before he left his disciples, explained the trials and tribulations they would face as Christians. Jesus also encouraged them, as recorded in John 16:33, “In this world, you will have many troubles. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Why DAR daughters use fresh wreaths to honor veterans As October arrives, so do cooler temps and the beginning of production for the live, balsam veterans’ wreaths that sponsors purchase and place this December. Why does Wreaths Across America only place live wreaths? The answer is simple, the wreaths are not used to decorate headstones. Through this program and the network of tens of thousands of dedicated volunteers across the country, Wreaths Across America honors all veterans and active military members by placing live wreaths. Fresh evergreens have been used for centuries as
a symbol recognizing honor and as a living tribute renewed annually. This tradition as a living memorial to veterans and their families. Ultimately, the sponsorship and placement of a veteran’s wreath means so much more. The veteran’s wreath serves as a catalyst to bring together communities, unite families, create opportunity for fundraising by other nonprofits and civic groups doing good locally, and teach children about the service and sacrifice that gives us our freedom in this country. This December, Wreaths Across America, DAR, and local citizens will work to-

Shelters welcome those in need By Loretta Cozart With temperatures dropping over the last few weeks, and significantly over the weekend, local shelters encourage those in need to utilize their services. While the shelters mentioned below are similar, they are not identical. Be sure to reach out to the shelter regarding availability to make sure space is available. Cleveland County Rescue Mission in Shelby is a non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to providing shelter, recovery programs, and support services to the homeless by proclaiming the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. The Executive Director is Pastor Micheal Woods. The Rescue Mission incorporates a holistic approach to recovery, addressing the needs of the mind, body, and soul. By doing so we help our residents confront and overcome the problems that led to homelessness in the first place. In addition to providing

The company’s 129
COUNCIL From Page 1A Grants, all investments in real property, new machinery and equipment over $50,000,000.00 would be eligible for a grant as shown below. • Year 1 - 85% property tax grant Year 6 - 70% property tax grant • Year 2 - 85% property tax grant Year 7 - 70% property tax grant • Year 3 - 85% property tax grant Year 8 - 70% property tax grant • Year 4 - 85% property tax grant Year 9 - 70% property tax grant • Year 5 - 85% property tax grant Year 10 - 70% property tax grant In addition, investment grants are based on the increase in tax value of all real property, machinery and improvements above the base year prior to investment and no grant will be given to a company that would reduce their tax payment to an amount lower than the previous tax year. Also, purchases of any existing Gaston County facility or equipment will not qualify under their program. All grant monies are taken directly from the company’s tax payment and the company must be current with all other payments required by Gaston County. Economic incentive grants help municipalities stimulate economic development. If done properly, both the city and its citizens benefit by stabilizing the economy and through offering higher pay-
MICHEAL WOODS Executive Director CCRM and Heart2Heart Place basic services such as housing and food, the program also integrates practical life skills such as vocational training and educational classes. Work therapy and individual therapy assist in the recovery of each client, and Bible study classes add to the men’s total transformation. Upon graduation, the goal is that all residents live both independently as part of society, but also depend on their relationships with Jesus Christ. In the residential transition period that follows on site, the rescue mission new jobs will include managerial, operational, maintenance, warehouse and office staff. The average annual salary for all new positions is $43,021, creating a payroll impact of more than $5.5 million per year. Cleveland County’s overall average annual wage is $40,019. Benestar Brands’ North Carolina expansion will be facilitated, in part, by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee earlier today. Over the course of the 12-year term of the grant, the project is estimated to grow the state’s GDP by more than $431 million. Using a formula that takes into account the new tax revenues generated by the 129 new jobs, the JDIG agreement authorizes the potential reimbursement to the company of up to $1,212,000 over 12 years. State payments occur only after verification by the deing jobs that provide better pay. Both the city and its people must benefit from the agreement. An article written by Jonathan Q. Morgan, in January 2009: Using Economic Development Incentives: For Better or for Worse. Popular Government, 74 (2): 16-29, through UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Government examines how states and localities that aggressively use incentives in the job wars may win big—but at what actual cost? Morgan suggests several mechanisms that might help jurisdictions win with incentives but avoid the winner’s curse of paying too much for too little in return. These include some safeguards already adopted in North Carolina, such as clawback provisions, tying incentives to company performance, requiring performance contracts, conducting cost-benefit analyses and establishing standards for wages and job quality. “The City of Kings Mountain believes this project will stimulate and provide stability to the local economy and will provide local economic benefits as well as new diverse high paying jobs for the citizens of Kings Mountain,” the city’s public notice states. “This will have a positive effect on the City’s corporate tax base and further ensure stability for the City of Kings Mountain.” City council will decide upon the city’s first Economic Incentive Grant Policy on Tuesday, October 27. Done correctly, the city and its people could benefit from these decisions for generations to come.

George Adams was KM’s first All-American basketball player (Third in a series on some of the best athletes and teams in Kings Mountain sports history). When Kings Mountain schools integrated – partly in the 1965-66 school year and fully in 1966-67 – the Mountaineers hadn’t won a handful of basketball championships dating back to their beginning in the early 1900s. But the young people of that day – now ‘old-timers’ will never forget the 1966-67 and 1967-68 teams that featured some of the best players to ever come through Kings Mountain. The best then, and probably now as most old-timers will tell you, were young men like George Adams and Otis Cole who excelled not just on the high school level but in college. And, it Adams’ case, the pros. Total desegregation of schools began in the fall of 1966. But the year before, local Black students were given the option to stay at Compact for one more year or come on to KMHS. A lot did come on to KMHS, among them Ken Mitchem who was a Mountaineer basketball star and went on to play four years at Pan American University in Texas before becoming a slow-pitch softball superstar with the Pharr Yarns Reds and helping them win a number of national championships. After full integration, the Mountaineers under veteran coach Don Parker in 196667 and Bob Hussey the next three seasons, had their best four-year run in school history. They won back-to-back titles the first two years. In Parker’s last year they went 20-0 in the regular season before being upset by Marion (now McDowell County) in the bi-conference tournament in Hickory. The 25-0 run came in Hussey’s first year and Adams’ senior year of 1967-68 when they fell to Kannapolis in the WNCHSAA championship game. With Adams graduated, the Mountaineers had a much smaller lineup but a very good one in 1968-69, led by Cole and guard Charlie Barnes, the latter a very good guard for the Appalachian State Mountaineers, but they finished second in the SWC to a very good Cherryville team. Most of those players were seniors the following year when the Mountaineers won the SWC and built a 23-0 record before falling to Avery County and its 7-4 giant Tommy Burleson
George Adams during his pro days with the San Diego Conquistadors.
George Adams scores on a lay-in for the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs.
George Adams was Kings Mountain High’s first All-American basketball player and played in the East-West All-Star game in Greensboro. He was also a three-time All-American at Gardner-Webb University where he set the school’s scoring and rebounding records. He played pro basketball with the San Diego Conquistadors of the ABA.
in the association playoffs. Adams enjoyed his days at Compact and Kings Mountain. He literally lived just a stone’s throw from Compact High School and stayed there the first year of integration. He played as a freshman and sophomore at Compact under the late Coach John Blalock, who produced numerous championship teams at Compact in the 1960s and at KMHS in the 1980s. While Adams’ success at KMHS was what caught the eye of college recruiters, he had a good reason for staying at Compact. His mother had died when he was four years old and his father later moved up north and Adams was living with his elderly grandmother. “I talked to people like Ken Mitchem and he was telling me what an opportunity I missed out on by not going to Kings Mountain,” Adams recalled recently. “But in those days I had been accustomed to Compact for so long I was hesitant about stepping out. The next year it would be mandatory.
“I lived directly across the road from the little church near the school. I could just walk a few steps and be there. That affected my decision. I also wanted to play at Compact because my older sister and my four brothers had played there. “My grandmother (Mary Thompson) raised me. My father moved to New York sometime after my mother died. He always remained in contact with me and supplied my needs. He was always in my life and very understanding, but I was the youngest one in the family and I didn’t want to leave her.” Adams played JV basketball as a freshman at Compact, but started as a sophomore on a very good and exciting Compact team. He went on to become one of the top players in the state his junior and senior years at Kings Mountain. “My JV year at Compact
we had an amazing varsity team with guys like Jimmy Curry, Miles Boyd, Billy McCathen, James Hood and my brother Thomas Adams,” he noted. “They won a championship. I remember when we had a pep rally and they came out of the dressing room wearing blue Compact Cobras jackets. That inspired me to try to be like them.” If not for integration, Adams most likely would have remained at Compact but he also enjoyed his two years at KMHS. He became the Mountaineers’ first-ever All-American basketball player his senior year and was the school’s second-ever All-American, joining quarterback George Harris from the championship 1955 football team. In Adams’ two years at KMHS the team posted an overall record of 45-2. In addition to All-American, he See ADAMS, Page 3B

BLAST FROM THE PAST – The 1973 Kings Mountain Babe Ruth all-star team won the North Carolina state championship over Greenville at St. Stephens High School in Hickory and competed in the Southeast Regionals in Clearwater, Florida. Front row, left to right, are Steve Southwell, Kenny Baliles, Frank Hovis, Mark Thornburg and Jeff Reynolds. Second row Mike Sisk, Monte Falls, Jimmy Parker, Gary Proctor and Chris Johnson. Back row coach Tommy Pruett, Kevin Ford, Joel Burgess, Andy Bridges, Jeff Carroll and coach Tony Leigh.
ADAMS From Page 1B was also All-State and played in the East-West AllStar game in Greensboro. He received college offers from all over the United States, including national champion Houston. He chose Gardner-Webb where he was a three-time All-American and held the school records for scoring and rebounding for many years. For Adams, that was his only choice because his family always came first and he would be close enough to get home when needed. His freshman year at GWU, he averaged 18 points per game on a team that included All-Americans Artis Gilmore and Ernie Fleming. They were sophomores. GW was beginning a senior college program the next season and they decided to complete their career at Jacksonville University. Jacksonville offered Adams, also, but he wanted to stay at GWU. He left there after his senior year with 15 school records including most points (2,404) and most rebounds (1,113). The Bulldogs played in the National JUCO tournament his freshman year and the national tournament his sophomore, junior and senior years. Although he never sought special attention, Adams said “I really began getting exposure at Gardner-Webb. It was a great opportunity. I hadn’t had a chance to gain exposure before that and a new page opened up in my life. I go back to Gardner-Webb a lot. I still see and talk to a lot of my teammates. One of my teammates, Billy Ellis, is now the mayor of Boiling Springs.” Throughout his career at KMHS and GWU, Adams was the leading scorer and rebounder, but he never wanted attention. “I have always been the kind of person that ‘we won’ and ‘the team won.’ It never really was about me and how many rebounds and points I had. I try to apply basketball to my life – work hard and achieve.” Adams went on to play four years in the American Basketball Association. He was the first inductee in the GWU Sports Hall of Fame and joined Cleveland Browns football star Kevin Mack, the late Western Carolina League president and KM mayor John Moss, and the late Washington Senators baseball great Jake Early in the first induction class of the Kings Mountain
George Adams during his high school days at Kings Mountain. Sports Hall of Fame. “My father (Coleman Adams) only saw me play one time,” Adams recalled. “That was when I was with the Virginia Squires and we played in the Nassau Coliseum in New Jersey. He was at the game and it was one of the proudest moments of my life.” Adams has always been grateful for the opportunities he had on all levels of basketball – he even served as an assistant coach at Hunter Huss High School for several years. But, he always wished that other great players from Compact had had the same opportunities. “Believe me,” he said in a 1988 interview in The Herald, “there were a lot of outstanding players at Compact who never got a chance to prove themselves because of the timing. I was lucky.” Adams averaged over 23 points and 20 rebounds per game during his twoyear career at KMHS, and it could have been much more had he been a selfish player or if the Mountaineers hadn’t been as good as they were. In many games, the Mountaineers would build a big halftime lead and reserves would play most of the second half. In one memorable game at Lincolnton, the Mountaineers built a 42-0 lead and in one game at Shelby he pulled down a school record 29 rebounds. The only time he was held under double figures was in a non-conference game when York, SC went into a deep freeze and Coach Parker ordered his Mountaineers not to try to steal the ball because York’s game plan was to try to get them in foul trouble. The halftime score was 4-2. KM ended up winning 22-13 and Adams scored nine points. At GWU, Adams once scored 57 points in a single game and had a 26-rebound game. He averaged hitting 64.2 percent of his shots over a four-year period. Although he’s proud of his accomplishments there, he said the greatest thing was
playing for a man like Eddie Holbrook. Adams was drafted in the second round by the world champion Milwaukee Bucks (the 43rd draft choice overall) and played played four seasons with San Diego under NBA legends K.C. Jones (three years) and Wilt Chamberlain (one year). Just like the timing for integration had been off when he was in high school, his time in the pros was off because the multi-million dollar salaries players draw now were not the case then. Now retired and living in Gastonia, he returns home from time to time to catch a game at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium and cheer on the Mountaineers and perhaps even recall some of those great moments from the sixties. “I am thankful for all of the wonderful memories from Compact, Kings Mountain and Gardner-Webb,” he said. “I will take in a game now and then. I’ll go to local high school games and Gardner-Webb when I can stay up long enough to see it from start to finish.” He maintains contact with most of his former teammates, especially KMHS teammate Rick Finger who is a neurologist in Charlotte and helped George get the help he needed for a health problem a while back. He sees teammate Otis Cole from time to time and has a great appreciation for him. “Otis Cole was one of the best athletes I’ve ever been around,” he said. “He was not only a great basketball player but also a great softball, baseball and football player. And, now I think he’s gotten into golf and I’d say he’s great at that too.” Looking at his beginning at Compact, Adams recalled three people that really inspired him to be a good player. “I was around some very good players who were older than me,” he said. “I tried to pattern myself after them. There was a player named Billy Smith who was a great player and inspired me. And there was an athlete named Alex Smith – I don’t think the two Smiths were related – but he was 6-5 and one of the players that really inspired me. “I started out as John Blalock’s ball boy and trainer. Just sitting on the bench with him inspired me. John Blalock was a good coach and a good human being. He knew how to place people in the places where they would be more
effective. He was a father figure for the kids, including myself, who needed motivation and guidance.” And, he said, he is grateful for the two years he spent at KMHS. In the beginning of integration, a lot of schools had problems. “But I do not recall a single problem the two years I was at Kings Mountain,” he said. “The people were always supportive of the students and athletes. In the transition of integration I don’t remember any problems whatsoever. That made it great for me.”

How to Find an Online Therapist Dear Savvy Senior, What is the best way to find online therapy services for my anxiety and depression? I just turned 63 and have become increasingly hopeless since the COVID pandemic hit and cost me my job. I need to get some professional help, but I’m also high risk for illness and very concerned about leaving the house. Need Help Dear Need, I’m sorry to hear about your job loss and the difficulties you’re going through right now, but you’re not alone. Because of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic downturn, fear, anxiety and depression is being reported by 45 percent of Americans, according a Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll. To help you through this difficult time there are a variety of therapists, psychologists, and other mental health providers you can turn to. And because of the pandemic, most of them are now offering counsel to their clients online through teletherapy services. This will allow you to interact virtually with
a therapist from the comfort of your home using only a smartphone, tablet or computer.
How to Find a Therapist A good first step to locating a therapist is to ask your primary care provider or family and friends for a referral. You can also look on your insurer’s website for a list of therapists covered under your plan. But be aware that some insurers have limited, or even no coverage for mental health, and many mental healthcare providers don’t participate in insurance plans. (Medicare does cover mental health services.) Other resources to help you find a good therapist include online finder tools at the American Psychological Association (locator.apa.org) and the American Psychiatric Association (finder.psychiatry.org). If you want some help, there are also online platforms that can help match you with a licensed mental health provider. For example, Talkspace (talkspace.com) and BetterHelp (betterhelp. com), are virtual services you can access through your phone or computer,
that contracts with thousands of licensed and credentialed therapists.
The process starts with a few questions to assess your goals, your condition, and your preferences, and then matches you with some top therapists in your state. If you don’t have insurance coverage or can’t afford therapy, you can call or text 211 (or go to 211.org) anytime for a referral to a provider who offers support at no cost or on a sliding scale, based on your budget. You can also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 24/7 and ask for a referral to a local resource or provider or ask to be transferred to their “warm line” for nonemergency calls, where you can talk anonymously to a trained professional at no cost. Another possible option is Federally Qualified Health Centers, which are community-based health centers, some of which may offer teletherapy services at no-cost. To search for centers in your area visit FindAHealthCenter.hrsa.gov.
There’s also this website called Open Path Collective (openpathcollective. org), where therapists offer low-cost online sessions for between $30 and $60. Interview Your Therapist Before you start sessions with a therapist, it’s important to make sure he or she meets your needs. If you’re not comfortable with the person, you’re unlikely to benefit from the therapy. So, schedule a call or a video chat to get a feel for each other, and to ask about the therapist’s training, years in practice, specialties, therapy techniques and fee. Ideally the therapist you choose will be a good personality fit for you and will be within your budget and/or covered by your insurance. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

and promote technological development.” As in past years, the State of North Carolina will provide matching grants to North Carolina businesses that have received either federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant awards. Applicants must, as further detailed in the solicitation materials, have received official Federal Notice of Phase I award by a Federal SBIR/ STTR agency during the Solicitation Period (March 1, 2020–December 1, 2020) to be eligible. Due to the conditions of the CRF funding, requirements for applicants are more for this round of grants, with the State of North Carolina able to provide matching grants of up to $100,000 on projects related to COVID-19 or for mitigating the pandemic’s impact on the applicant’s business. The program will prioritize providing full funding, to the extent possible, for applicants whose principal place of business is in a more economic distressed area (a Tier 1 or Tier 2 county). Examples of eligible expenditures include, but are not limited to: • Reimbursements for the business expenses of SBIR/ STTR Phase I projects that are directly or indirectly related to COVID-19 and incurred between March 1, 2020 and the date of Application for Matching Funds. • Reimbursement for the costs of employment or business interruption related to the SBIR/STTR Phase I projects caused by closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic and incurred between March 1, 2020 and the date of Application for Matching funds. SBIR/STTR grants are the single largest source of early stage technology development and commercialization funding for small businesses, providing approximately $2.5 billion annually, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. North Carolina remains among a handful of business-friendly states with a matching program to leverage federal funds and help homegrown businesses commercialize innovative technologies and create jobs. Since its inception in 2006, the program has helped 275 small businesses in 25 counties create and maintain more than 900 jobs and leverage more than $500 million in follow-on fund-
ing from other sources. This represents a 20-fold return on state investment. The 2020-2021 solicitation for One North Carolina Small Business Matching Funds, as well as program information, application instructions and supporting materials are posted at www.nccommerce.com/ grants-incentives/technology-funds/one-north-carolina-small-business-program.

The One North Carolina Fund (OneNC) is a discretionary cash-grant program that allows the Governor to respond quickly to competitive job-creation projects. The North Carolina Department of Commerce administers OneNC on behalf of the Governor. Awards are based on the number of jobs created, level of investment, location of the project, economic impact of the project and the importance of the project to the state and region. Applications are now being accepted for a new round of grantmaking from the One North Carolina Small Business Program, a key source of capital for North Carolina’s technology companies. The program, administered by the North Carolina Board of Science, Technology, & Innovation (Board) and the North Carolina Department of Commerce will focus this year on helping to promote job creation and economic recovery at small technology companies meeting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Applications will be accepted until December 1, 2020, or until funds have been exhausted for the program’s 2020-2021 fiscal year funding cycle. Funding for this round of the program is provided by the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) of 2020. The CRF is designed to provide ready funding to mitigate or respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency and to address unforeseen financial needs and risks created by the public health emergency. Applicants will therefore need to articulate and document how funds will be used as reimbursements to cover expenses they have incurred to mitigate the impacts from COVID-19, to foster job creation, and promote research and technological development in response to the pandemic. “Many of the most game-changing innovations take place in small, entrepreneurial businesses, and the coronavirus pandemic has directly impacted these businesses and their ability to add jobs to our economy” said Board Chair Michael Cunningham. “Accordingly, the Board recognized this and structured this year’s program to ameliorate the effects of the pandemic to quickly foster job creation

Martin Marietta KM Quarry honored Martin Marietta Kings Mountain Quarry was recognized as Best of the Best among 400 operations after recently winning their company’s prestigious Diamond Honor Award during a ceremony the Gateway Trailhead on October 2. The award is presented each year by Martin Marietta to the best operation companywide. While the award is the first for Kings Mountain Quarry, the team is no stranger to companywide recognition, having been named a Martin Marietta Honor Plant in 1999 and 2012. The Diamond Awards program succeeded Honor Plant recognition in 2016.
According to Martin Marietta’s Chairman and CEO Ward Nye, “operations considered for Diamond Honor Award status are evaluated based on their performance over the previous three years and must demonstrate continuous improvement over that period in the areas of safety, ethical conduct, operational excellence, environmental sustainability, cost discipline and customer satisfaction.” Kings Mountain
Quarry has a positive and long-standing relationship with both the city of Kings Mountain and the Gateway Trail. The land for the trailhead on Hwy 216 was donated by Martin Marietta and serves as a parking area, office/restroom facility and shelter area for the public. Martin Marietta recognized the team at Kings Mountain with a socially-distanced luncheon on October 2 at the Gateway Trailhead. At the lunch, Regional Vice President-General Manager Jim Thompson and Plant Manager Adam Thompson thanked employees for their dedication, hard work and commitment to

safety. Honorees recognized at this event included Ronald Borum (plant manager who retired in May), Adam Thompson, Chris Safrit, Peter Glisson, Phil Wright, Chris Foster, Deborah Dover, Todd Scism, Thomas Whelan, David Barnette, Kyle Jarrell, Michael Jenkins, Rodney Lynch, Travis Brady, Randy Cogdell, Timothy Harvely, Brandon Frigo, Mark McWhirter, John Williams, Kenneth Caveny, Keith Smith, Michael Sanders and Jakob Garcia.
I’ve mentioned before how I try to pace myself when deer season opens. When I was younger, I felt like GARY MILLER I had to be in the stand every waking minute. Any hour could be the hour that buck walked by. Granted, I didn’t have trail cameras to verify anything, but I still should have known my odds were not as good early in the year. While there was nothing wrong with being early and often, my problem was fatigue. By the time the pre-rut was taking place it was hard for me to drag myself out of bed to get in the stand. And by the time the second rut was taking place, I was finding every excuse to stay home while everyone else was sending me pictures of their best buck ever. So, for the past several years, unless I have a trophy on camera, I will wait until late October before I ever get into that stand. I still want to be eager to get up during the second week of December when the biggest bucks show up. Whenever I think about this scenario, I’m always reminded of the words of one pastor. He quoted Amy Carmichael. “I would rather burn out than rust out.” Of course, this sounded admirable. He was bragging about long workdays, no days off, and no vacations. He thought God must be proud of this remarkable commitment and heralded the fact that any worthwhile man or woman of God ought to do the same. What he didn’t realize (or didn’t care about) were the needs of those who called him dad, husband and friend, and about God’s own command to care for his own body which was the temple of the Holy Spirit. He thought the only two options were burning out and rusting out. He never thought about the possibility of a third – planning it out. Plan out working enough, resting enough, and even playing enough, that when the end comes, there will not only be fruit, but longevity – there will not only be worthwhile accomplishments in the lives of parishioners, but worthwhile accomplishments in the lives of those who sometimes physically look up to him as well. I have not always followed my own advice, but I’ve always remembered that God doesn’t need me. He LETS me. And the longer I can stick around, the better chance I have of not only being the leader I need to be, but being the human I need to be as well.

ooking with your kids is a fun way to bond while teaching basic culinary skills. It provides practical lessons like counting ingredients and dividing portions. Plus, meals cooked together offer kids something to look forward to during lunchtime. They can enjoy the food they helped prepare, and you’ll be able to check at least one meal off your to-do list while teaching valuable life lessons. One way to make cooking more exciting for the family is to prepare food for a bento box using pantry staples. Bento boxes are considered an act of love in Japan and are a fun way to get your family involved in the kitchen. Bento boxes are similar to single-portion lunchboxes except they feature small compartments for each element of your meal, making it easy to encourage kids

Pack each bento box evenly with rice, pickled cucumbers and salmon. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Garnish with tomatoes and lemons. Substitutions: If ingredients are unavailable or difficult to find: Use 1/4 cup soy sauce to glaze salmon in place of miso paste; use low-carb rice such as cauliflower or broccoli rice in place of sushi rice. Tip: To prevent sogginess, separate wet components like cucumber pickles by using aluminum foil or silicone muffin liners inside bento box.

CLEVELAND COUNTY POTATO PROJECT UPDATE – Muddy conditions kept folks at the Cleveland County Potato Project out of the Botts plot until Saturday. Twelve volunteers from Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church came to help with the work on Saturday and the family that owns the Botts site treated all workers to a pizza lunch. Just a few weeks ago, this site was predicted to not bear many potatoes. However, it has produced 38,000 lbs. of really nice potatoes. Only 10 rows remain in finishing this plot and the group hopes to have finished the field by Tuesday. For more info on the Potato Project, call Doug Sharp at 704-472-5128. Photo provided
“Keep Cleveland County Warm” Coat drive Family Worship Submitted by Regina Arrowood A coat drive called “Keep Cleveland County Warm” is being held in memory of a Rutherford County woman, Pat Parker. Organizers are asking the community for donations to help keep people warm this winter. The donations will be distributed to schools, nonprofit organizations, and shelters in Cleveland County where they will then be given to children and families who need warm clothing. The coat drive is being held by Parker’s family and citizens of Cleveland County in honor of her. “We lost our mother a few years ago. She was always thinking about people in need and how she could help. We organized this event in memory of her, with the hope of helping families in need,” said Event Organizer Regina Arrowood. The coat drive has been a huge success in Rutherford County for the last four years. Tim Early and Leigh Ann Self, local natives of Cleveland County, decided this year to expand the coat drive to include Cleveland County. Now through December 4, 2020, donations of new and gently used coats and outerwear will be accepted at the following locations: Shelby Fire Dept (Grover Street), YMCA (Shelby), Shelby Police Dept, Cleveland County Li-
