Yard sale fundraiser October 5
A Smile for Kairee By Loretta Cozart “A Smile for Kairee” yard sale fundraiser to help with medical expenses for Kairee Sanders will be held this Saturday, October 5 at the American Legion Post 155 at 613 E. Gold Street from 7 am to 4 pm. Before the event, donations of gently used furniture, small appliances, toys, clothing, shoes, teacher / school supplies, and household items can be dropped off at the American Legion on Friday October 4, between 4 pm – 8 pm. The day of the event there will be a hot dog lunch, bake sale, and Kona Ice truck. All proceeds go toward Kairee Sanders’ medical expenses. When Kairee was born 16 years ago, her mother Ashley Stinchcomb knew her daughter was going to have health issues. “On March 7, 2003 at 12:07 pm, Kairee was born and my life changed forever. I knew since I was six months pregnant that Kairee was going to have some health problems. She had cysts on her right kidney and the ventricles in her

Brinkley appeal against city denied By Loretta Cozart On September 25, the NC Supreme court denied a petition by Brinkley Properties and 15 other property owners for discretionary review in a civil lawsuit against the City of Kings Mountain and Orchard Trace, ending the 32month court battle that cost the city more than $106,000 in legal fees. A source close to Orchard Trace confirmed that their costs so far have been $300,000. “What great news for the citizens of Kings Mountain! Once again this confirms that the City of Kings Mountain’s process is correct. The city had to defend its decades old process that is standard for all local governments. I just hate it took three decisions with a lot of legal costs to finally end this challenge,” said Mayor Neisler. “This has stunted controlled growth that is necessary for the city to prosper. Investment in our community
increases the tax base and utility revenues that keeps our tax rate low. This has been a long journey and I am proud of staff and their hard work. We are starved for new market-based housing and finally construction can begin!” The order handed down Friday stated, “Upon consideration of the petition filed on the 17th of January 2019 by Plaintiffs in this matter for discretionary review of the decision of the North Carolina Court of Appeals pursuant to G.S. 7A-31, the following order was entered and is hereby certified to the North Carolina Court of Appeals: “Denied by order of the Court in conference, this the 25th of September 2019.” Superior Court Judge Lisa Bell ’’dismissed with prejudice’’ the civil lawsuit on March 5, 2019 and signed it on March 12, 2019. The judgment reads: “Having carefully considered by the motions, See APPEAL, Page 7A
In her 16-years, she has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, complete hearing loss in her left ear, epilepsy, glaucoma, legal blindness, sleep apnea and decreased kidney function. She is developmentally delayed; her entire left side of her body is
smaller than her right from head to toe and she has facial deformities. “Were it not for my family, we wouldn’t be where we are today. My mom, Cindi Smith, has always been there for me. My entire family has been there for us. We are so blessed for such a loving family,” she said. Kairee has two younger siblings, sister Braelyn, 10, and brother Channing, 4.
“Despite her challenges, Kairee has gone through multiple surgeries, scans, tests and has always come out smiling with no complaints. She has been a patient of Chapel Hill’s Craniofacial Team since she was 8-months old. Now that Kairee has stopped growing, they are ready to fix her jaw, nose, and give her a new set of teeth through a series of several facial surgeries,” her
mom says. “They will bring her top jaw forward, take bone from her hip and build up her top and lower jaw. Once that’s healed, they will remove the 5 teeth that she has left and start the process of dental implants. After the jaw surgeries and the teeth are implanted, they will reconstruct her nose,” she explains. See KAIREE, Page 4A

KMPD supported Operation Clear Track By Loretta Cozart On Tuesday, September 24 from 9 am -12 noon, during Operation Clear Track, Kings Mountain Police personnel were stationed at targeted railroad grade crossing locations to issue citations or warnings to violators. Officials will also disseminate railroad safety cards to motorists and pedestrians. The goal of Rail Safety Week was to reduce pedestrian and driver injuries and fatalities around railroad tracks through increased public awareness and enforcement. During Rail Safety Week (RSW), September 22 - 28, Kings Mountain Police, the Amtrak Police Department and Operation Lifesaver, the nonprofit rail safety education organization, participated in “Operation Clear Track,” along with more than 600 law enforcement agencies nationwide. The goal was to raise awareness and enforce state railroad grade crossing and trespassing laws. The rail safety detail is in its third year and was car-
ried out in 48 states. It is the single largest rail safety law enforcement initiative in the U.S. The Operation Clear Track Police enforcement and education event was held in 48 states at railroad grade crossings that have a high number of vehicle and/or trespasser incidents or near misses. Officers were at Railroad Avenue and Gold Street and / or Railroad Avenue and Mountain Street from 9 am – 12 noon. Federal statistics show that about every three hours in the United States, a person or vehicle is hit by a train. Operation Clear Track is an effort by law enforcement, Operation Lifesaver, Amtrak and rail safety partner organizations to raise awareness of the dangers around railroad tracks during Rail Safety Week, which is being observed in the U.S. September 22-28, 2019. "KMPD was proud to be able to participate in Operation Clear Track this year. We have a lot of vehicles daily that must cross over one or more of the tracks in our city. We want to be

NC House approves and Governor signs
Standing up for Rape Victims Act of 2019 T h e North Carolina House of Representatives approved legislation on Monday COOPER appropriating funds and establishing new protocols for the testing of sexual assault kits by the State Crime MOORE Lab and local law enforcement agencies. H.B. 29 was co-sponsored by Tim Moore, (R) of Cleveland County and Rep. Jamie Boles (R-Moore). On Friday, Governor Cooper signed into law the Stand-
ing up for Rape Victims Act of 2019, which appropriates $6 million to the North Carolina Department of Justice and requires agencies that process sexual assault kits to notify appropriate law enforcement agencies within 24 hours after DNA has been collected. The law also requires a law enforcement agency to take custody of a kit from a collecting agency within 7 days of notification, submit reported kits to the Crime Lab and unreported kits to the Department of Public Safety within 45 days of taking custody of the kit. Law enforcement agencies are authorized to establish review teams to conduct assessments of untested sexual assault kits and prioritize those for testing under the
bill, which also requires the state Crime Lab to notify law enforcement as soon as practicable of its approval to test a previously untested kit and provide shipment information. The legislation further requires the state Crime Lab to test approved kits and enter the results into the relevant databases. State House Rep. Jamie Boles (R-Moore) is the senior chairman of the House Appropriations Committee on Justice and Public Safety and noted the bill was the result of collaboration among state leaders. “This is a critical part of the budget that we passed, to stand up for victims of sexual assault and provide additional resources to bring their attackers to justice,” said Boles.

reminded city council that it has been 90 days since he last addressed them regarding issues on his property at Moss Lake. According to Ramey, his neighbor graded property on Wilshire Drive, which is off the water, to give it a lake view. In the grading process, the neighbor pushed the dirt into the lake almost choking off the cove. Ramey estimates the neighbor has pushed enough dirt into the cove to extend the shoreline ten to fifteen feet out into the lake. Ramey is very dissatisfied with the speed with which the city is responding to his concerns. Mayor Scott Neisler responded to Ramey and explained that these issues take time to resolve because several agencies are involved. Mayor Neisler responded, “We will get this issue resolved. We don’t have a hard timeline, but we are going to take care of your problem.”

A prayer for the faith to forgive Arise Carroll Getty’s annual Women’s family Retreat reunion reunion Nov. 1-2 seph. Twenty years earlier, his brothers had sold him as a slave to a caravan of merchants on their way to Egypt. But now that their father Jacob was dead, these brothers are afraid that Joseph will retaliate to “get even” because of the pain and humiliation they caused him so many years earlier.’ Joseph is able to respond in forgiveness and reconciliation because he sees the hand of God working in his injustice. After serving Potiphar faithfully for years, he was unjustly thrown into prison where he leaned that such evils can be a part of God’s plan. Now his brothers are standing before him
Gene s i s 50:1920 says, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? As for DAVID A. IRISH you, you Chaplain (Lt. Col.) US Army meant Kings Mountain e v i l against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones”. These are amazing words from the lips of Jo-
in their guilt for the evils they did to him yet he knew God would use their cruelty for greater good. If we see only the devil in the evil done against us, we will be led to despair. But if we can see that God is able to use evil for His purposes and our good, we will have an attitude that God can use. Thus, Joseph was able to forgive his brothers and take care of their needs. Remember, God is able to take the most difficult situations we face in life and turn them into blessing.
The ladies of Thirsty Thursdays Women's Ministry will host "Arise" Women's Retreat 2019 on Friday and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd at the Quality Inn Convention Center Hotel in Hickory NC.

Cast members rehearse for the Gardner-Webb Theater production of Everybody’s Moving. The play which is raising awareness about human trafficking, specifically in the US will premier this week, October 3-5 at 7:30 p.m. and October 6 at 2:30 p.m. in the Dover Theatre at Gardner Webb College, inside Lutz-Yelton Center.
Gardner-Webb Department of Theatre Arts presents play about human trafficking Submitted by Jackie Bridges The Department of Theatre Arts at Gardner-Webb University is helping to raise awareness about human trafficking— specifically in the United States—with its fall production of “Everybody’s Moving.” Premiering Oct. 3-6, the original play was commissioned by GWU last year. “The play came about because Gardner-Webb has been working hard to increase awareness of human trafficking, and we wanted to do a play that tackled the issue in some way,” noted Dr. Chris Nelson, chair of the Department of Theatre Arts. “I asked my friend, playwright John Patrick Bray, if I could commission him to write a play about that subject for us to do here at Gardner-Webb. He and his associate Jake Hunsbusher wrote ‘Everybody’s Moving,’ which is the result of this collaboration.” The playwrights took
an unconventional look at a very tough subject, Nelson said. “They wanted to focus less on the aspects of the trade itself, and more on the ubiquity of it, and how many people can be complicit in the spread of human trafficking in this country and internationally. This play, I think, sheds light on that.” The cast includes GWU students: Marshall Townsend, Chris Adams, Markus Byrd, Joe Bragdon, Nick Howell, Olivia Ottinger, Sarah Bragdon, Cheyenne McCall, Ely
Thompson, and Betsy Shevick. The play runs Oct. 3-5, 2019 at 7:30 each evening and Oct. 6 at 2:30 p.m. in Dover Theater inside the Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center. Tickets for the general public are $10 and are available by calling the box office at 704-406-4656 or by emailing ashauf@ gardner-webb.edu. Viewer discretion is advised for this very serious topic. Auxiliary aids will be made available to persons with disabilities upon request 48 hours prior to the event. Please call 704-4064264 or email servicerequests@gardner-webb.edu with your request. Located in the North Carolina foothills, Gardner-Webb University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university. Gardner-Webb emphasizes a strong student-centered experience and rigorous academics to prepare students to become effective leaders within the global community. Ignite your future at Gardner-Webb.edu.

CLT’s Revolutionary War themed play starts Oct. 4 The Cherryville Little Theatre’s upcoming production, “The Entire American Revolution in 40 Minutes or Less!”, directed by Jim Chandler, is scheduled to run Oct. 4, 5, 11, and 12, at 7 p.m., and on Oct. 6, and 13, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door and $6.25 online. Director Chandler said of the show, “With the upcoming anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain this month, and the success of 'Liberty Mountain’ in Kings Mountain for these past summers, and the great musical 'Hamilton’ returning to Charlotte for this coming 2019-2020 season, it seemed only fitting that Cherryville should get into the historical frenzy as well, with our own take on the American Revolution.” Thus, we proudly present “The Entire American Revolution (in 40 Minutes or Less)”, here on the Cherryville Little Theater stage. Chandler added, “and, we feature a cast of thousands! Okay! Well, dozens at least. With thousands more waiting in the wings? “Seriously, this fastand-loose comedy by Eddie McPherson gives the audience a chance to laugh and learn as we watch the antics of historical figures such as 1700s Britain’s crazy royal, the mad King George III, America’s

Life is busy... let an agent handle your insurance, and relax knowing they have you covered.
MOLASSES COOKIES The play is also a tale of love between Gertrude (a British Loyalist), played by Sarah Sandoval, and Floyd (a somewhat fickle Patriot), played by Christopher Hager. (photos provided) George Washington, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin (and others), as Patriots, battle the British from the Boston Tea Party to the Battle of Bunker Hill (or was that Breed’s Hill?). You will watch, in awe, as Washington crosses the frozen Delaware River. You will see a naval battle live, onstage, between French and British 'ships’. And, as in most great real-life historical stories, you will see the tale of love between Gertrude (a British Loyalist) and Floyd (a somewhat fickle Patriot).
Scarlett and Rhett, Rose and Jack (“Titanic” movie fame), Romeo and Juliet… these had nothing on the gripping wartime romance of Gertrude and Floyd... Laugh! Cry! Cheer on our heroes and civilians! This mix of young and ...mature...actors and actresses are just what we need! So, let them know how much you appreciate them with your laughter and applause. And, sit back and learn a little history as well!

Caution: give wisely to APPEAL Hurricane Dorian relief NC Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall cautions North Carolinians’s to beware of Hurricane Dorian charity scams. “As we begin to see the extent of the destruction in the Bahamas and here, we all naturally want to reach out and help those affected, but please remember that scam artists will try to use our generosity against us. I want North Carolinians to give generously to relief efforts, so follow these tips to make sure your generosity is getting to those who need it,” Marshall advised. • Research charities registered with the Secretary of State’s Charitable Solicitation Licensing Division at www.sosnc.gov/ divisions/charities and download the Smart Donor Checklist for a handy list of suggested questions to ask any charity that calls for donations. • Charity Navigator has a page dedicated to Hurricane Dorian that includes a list of established charities assisting with rescue and relief efforts. • Be wary of high-pres-
sure solicitations on social media, or through texts and emails. • Give to established charities that have resources on the ground in the affected regions. • Look out for soundalike names mimicking the names of established charities. • If you get an unsolicited call, text or email from an organization – don’t just click on the links provided. Research the organization yourself online and make your donation on the charity’s official site. If you believe that you have been contacted by a fake charity, take a screen shot of the solicitation or write down the information you remember from the call as soon as possible and immediately contact the Secretary of State’s Office or local authorities. You can reach our Charitable Solicitation Licensing Division at 1-888-830-4989 or file a complaint online.

From Page 1A including memoranda, exhibits and authorities, and arguments by counsel, the court hereby finds that there is no genuine issue of material fact as to any of Plaintiff’s six pending causes of action and both Defendants are entitled to a judgment as a matter of law as to each cause of action.” The plaintiffs had 30days to file a notice of appeal and did so on March 23, 2019. The decision issued Friday was a response to that appeal. The land dispute began over a rezoning request by Orchard Trace, a 120-acre development and proposed $32 million-dollar investment in housing along Kings Mountain Boulevard. Orchard Trace is located east of Bain Road, to the east of Testa Family Hospice House and west of Pinehurst Drive. Kings Mountain City Council held a public hearing on the request by Orchard Trace to rezone the property on December 20, 2016. City Council followed the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and rezoned the property from residential to conditional use property for a planned unit development. On February 8, 2017, Brinkley Properties of Kings Mountain, LLC initiated an action of declaratory judgement in Cleveland County Superior Court. Nine days later, 15 additional named plaintiffs were added to the civil lawsuit alleging that the city did not follow proper protocols. The lawsuit also requested an injunction which barred defendants from proceeding with the development. During the next 32 months, both plaintiffs and defendants filed motions

and amendments with the NC Supreme Court before the case was finally decided. In the opinion of the NC Court of Appeals, “under the facts of the case, the change of the property’s use from residential to conditional does not constitute and actionable injury. As a result, plaintiffs failed to establish standing to maintain this action.” Additionally, the court found that the allegation that the proposed development would cause their land to lose value was “unsupported by direct evidence, and merely express neighboring plaintiff’s concern over possible interference with the enjoyment of their property.” Therefore, it was concluded, “For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the trial court’s order granting summary judgement for the
defendants, denying plaintiff’s motion for summary judgement, and dismissing plaintiff’s second amended complaint.” The NC Supreme Court upheld its earlier decision to “dismiss with prejudice” the civil lawsuit against the City of Kings Mountain and Orchard Trace. When a lawsuit is dismissed with prejudice the court is saying that it has made a final determination on the merits of the case and the Plaintiff is barred from filing another lawsuit based on the same grounds. Regarding the court’s decision, David Brinkley said, “I did what I thought was right by filing this lawsuit. As Christians, Marie and I do what we can to help others. There were 12 other families impacted by Orchard Trace who didn’t have the means to fight the city.
“I didn’t want to sue and asked the city three times to start over with a feasibility study. City Council moved ahead with the project anyway. The lawsuit cost a lot of money for everyone involved, but that wasn’t the purpose of suing. It what I to protect the people who couldn’t fight the city to protect their own interest,” he said. s“Marie and I have bought houses in town and refurbished or demolished them. Improving the looks of our town helps it grow. We feel the growth of Kings Mountain requires a strategy that is good for all people, not just a few,” Brinkley said. “We lost the lawsuit, and I’m okay with that. The people know who I am, and I will let my record stand for itself.”

‘Cats here Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers return to John Gamble Stadium Friday for a 7:30 Big South Conference encounter with the North Gaston Wildcats. While the Mountaineers were rolling over Stuart Cramer last week, the Wildcats were being torn apart by the Hunter Huss Huskies. Huss is open this week and likely will have their coaches in the stadium scouting the undefeated Mountaineers for next week’s battle that could be for first place in the conference. The Mountaineers will be heavily favored Friday but Coach Lloyd doesn’t want them to take the Wildcats lightly. “They’re a triple option team,” he noted, “and I expect them to come over here running the ball. Last week they were moving the ball but ended up throwing some interceptions that really cost them.” Although the Cats have See CATS, Page 3B
Mountaineers set scoring record In 69-16 win over Stuart Cramer The ‘storm’ that broke out at the beginning of Kings Mountain’s football game at Stuart Cramer got the home fans excited but it was soon over as the Mountaineers provided some ‘Thunder’ and ‘Lightning’ in a record-breaking 69-16 victory in their first Big South Conference outing Friday. The Storm’s Tyreese Morris took the opening kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown and an early 7-0 lead but the Mountaineers came back to put up the most points ever, breaking the 60-mark for the 10th time in history and the seventh under head coach Greg Lloyd. KM’s previous high came in 1999 when Ron Massey’s Mountaineers blanked Bessemer City 68-0. After that initial touchdown, the Mountaineers came back to go into halftime with a 41-10 lead, and despite a running clock put up four more touchdowns in the second half. Getting outstanding
blocking, KM running backs Ricaylen Mack (Thunder) and Rashaard Brooks (Lightning) ran over, around and through the Cramer defense for 220 of the Mountaineers’ 345 yards rushing. With quarterback Ethan Reid adding 100 yards through the air, the Mountaineers topped the 400-yard total offense figure for the sixth straight game. “It’s disappointing giving up a kickoff return to start the game, but after that we played pretty well,” Kings Mountain Coach Greg Lloyd said. “Especially in the second quarter. “They (Cramer) played hard and with a lot of energy,” he added. “They surprised us. We have to do a better job of tackling.” Kings Mountain responded to the Storm’s early TD by driving 57 yards eight plays to trim the margin to 7-6 on an 8-yard run by Brooks.

Kings Mountain defenders Peyton Fisher (11), AJ Richardson (44) and Troy Pruiksma (32) scramble for a fumble by Stuart Cramer in Thursday’s game at KMHS.
KM JVs rout Cramer 48-0 Kings Mountain’s JVs rolled to their fifth straight victory Thursday at home with a 48-0 victory over Stuart Cramer. The Storm defense, was able to stop Kings Mountain’s first drive of the night but had little fortune after that as the home team put the game away by halftime, 33-0. At the same time, the KM defense was turning the Storm into a gentle breeze by holding them to minus 23 yards total offense for the game. After that initial stop by the Storm, the Mountaineers began clicking on all cylinders. It took them just three plays to score after a fumble recovery by AJ Richardson at the Cramer 28. On the second play Caleb Holland went around left end for a 32-yard run and a 6-0 lead at the 2:55 mark of the first quarter. Early in the second period KM drove 73 yards in five plays to go up 14-0. Holland scored from eight yards out and Thurman ran a two-point conversion. Two big AJ Richardson interceptions deep in Cramer territory turned the game into a rout. His first interception was returned from the SC 35 to the 12 and QB Cole Irby sneaked it in for a 20-0 lead at the 3:32 mark. On the first play following the kickoff, Richardson intercepted it again and took it to the house for a 26-0 lead with 2:57 on the clock. Following the kickoff, Cramer fumbled and KM’s Deshawn Dean recovered it at the SC 11. On the first play Thurman covered the distance and Aidan Harris added the PAT for a 33-0 lead. On the second play following the second half kickoff, Irby hit Hoyle on a quick out and he rambled 51 yards and Harris ran the

numerous tackles. Others making big plays included Troy Pruiksma, Jake Lloyd, Chase Ellis, Deshawn Dean, Mark Thomasson, Cameron Rhom, Anthony Hyman, and Dalton Smith.

RECORD From Page 1B on a high snap on a punt attempt, the Mountaineers went on a four touchdown spree in just under five minutes to turn the game into a 41-10 rout at the half. It took just four plays to go up 20-10, with Reid sneaking over from the three with 8:31 on the clock. Three plays later, the Storm faced a third and 12 from its own 30. They tried a lateral pass but it bounced in front of the intended receiver. An alert Chase Cannon scooped it up and took it the house for a 27-10 KM lead at the 7:01 mark. On the ensuing kickoff, the Storm fumbled a bouncing kickoff. KM’s Day-Day Wilson recovered at the SC 33 and Reid promptly hit Quintin Davidson on a pass down the right sideline for a touchdown. Only eight seconds had gone off the clock, and it was now 34-10. On the next series, Cramer was backed up to its own 18 on fourth and 17 and punted. Kobe Paysour returned it 20 yards to the SC 31. Brooks covered 30 of the yards on two carries, and Reid took it in from the one and a 41-10 lead with 3:46 on the first half clock. Even though the lead was not 42 points which
is the norm for a running clock, the officials granted the Cramer coach’s request that they go to a running clock for the second half. That didn’t even bother the Mountaineers as Ussery returned the second half kickoff to the 33, setting up a five-play drive ending in Kobe Paysour’s 12-yard catch and a 48-10 lead. Cramer was able to stop the bleeding a little when DeAngelo Bruton got loose for a 65-yard touchdown run. Ussery blocked the PAT leaving the score at 48-16. KM responded as Bishop returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards to the SC 35, and Mack covered the distance in two carries to run the score to 55-16. Logan Patrick recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff at the SC 19, and Mack covered the distance for a 62-16 lead. Reserve running backs Albert Hope and Marquis Adams put on a show for the final KM TD, which began on the 17 yard line. Hope went around the right side for 27 yards to get things going and on four consecutive carries racked up 57 yards. A 15yard penalty set the Mountaineers back, but Adams carried three times for 35 yards and scored the final TD on a seven yard run. “Our offense really played well,” Lloyd said.

The Renaissance Festival is Back! Submitted by Matt Siegel Located just north of Charlotte, NC is a village where imagination, fantasy, and history burst to life. It is a place where adults can feel and act like children while children are treated as royalty. It is a magical realm where you will forget about your daily cares. It is the Carolina Renaissance Festival and Artisan Marketplace -operating 8 consecutive Saturdays and Sundays, October 5 through November 24. Fairhaven Village – It is the 16th century and The Renaissance Festival’s story-book village is Fairhaven; a peaceful shire filled with charming cottages, castles, kitchens and pubs, all nestled amongst 245 acres of beautiful fall forest. It is within the village walls of Fairhaven where pleasure and celebration rule the day as villagers, artists, craftspeople, musicians, performance troupes and food vendors have all gathered together to create a marketplace festival in celebration of the arrival of their visiting Queen. Immersive Theatre – With trumpets blaring and cannon blasting, The Lord Mayor orders the gates of Fairhaven to swing open at 10:00 am and close at dusk. The day is filled with an abundance of attractions appropriate for all age groups, presented upon 14 stages, each packed with a unique mix of continuous music, dance, comedy shows, and circus entertainments. From barely balanced acrobats to one-of-a-kind old-world mu-
sical instruments, the entertainment options are endless. The stage shows are always spontaneous, and you can take part in the action if you wish – or sit back and enjoy watching the audience volunteers who make a spectacle of themselves. You will never know what happens next, on stage or off. The entertainment also takes place right in front of you within the village streets as a costumed cast of medieval commoners, knights, and royalty celebrate a 16th century day of play. Part of the Renaissance Festival experience is meeting and interacting with the colorful characters roaming the village, creating an interactive street theater. Musical fairies and lively woodland sprites embody childlike innocence. Close up magicians amaze and amuse. Wonderful statuary comes to life. There is even a walking tree! You can take audience with the Queen or mingle with peasants who endlessly proclaim… “Hip Hip Huzzah!” - all part and parcel of the Festival day. One of a kind Attractions
– In addition to the non-stop schedule of entertainment, you cannot miss the birds of prey exhibition where the royal falconer will don his hunting garb and take you on a thrilling trip into the past explaining and demonstrating the use of falcons, hawks, owls and more in the ancient sport of falconry! Listen to fascinating bits of history delivered while a hawk flies overhead in a simulated hunt displaying the unique skills that enraptured nobles long ago and made falconry the sport of kings. It is both educational and awe inspiring as you learn about the popularity of falconry in the renaissance while watching a falcon dive at over 100 miles an hour! The Renaissance Festival wouldn’t be complete without a depiction of one of the grandest events of the time period – the popular tournament Joust! Occurring three times daily, each joust is full of pomp, pageantry, action, comedy and chivalry as noble Knights strap on heavy suits of armor and mount two tons of snorting steeds. With plumes waving and chain mail
clanking, they take up their lances and charge at one another in tilt. Shattering lances, clashing swords, and daring deeds of bravery all collide into a realistic recreation of a joust to the death! All for the Queen’s amusement! From gallant knights to the marvels of the vast ocean, the Lord Mayor outdoes himself once again in a bid for the Queen’s favor with a personal gift - the return of the Living Mermaids - Fairies of the Sea! These beautiful sirens frolic about in a 3,000-gallon aquarium! Children love watching the underwater flips, blown bubble hearts and splashing tails. And families can sit together atop the mermaid throne for a meet and greet photo experience. NEW entertainment for the family this year includes Lady Alice of Wonderland and Lady Wendy of Neverland - visiting Fairhaven to share amazing tales of science and adventure! And kids will love watching Pirouette the Magical Dancer as she ventures out of her Musical Magic Box to dance and delight! And if you are lucky, she might just reach right into the sky and gift you a magical star of your very own! Action & Adventure – The Carolina Renaissance Festival is home to a most unusual collection of people powered rides and games of skill. Inspired by the joust? Try your skill with a lance on the Slider Joust challenge game. You can storm the castle in a paintball battle or try to solve the riddle of climbing Jacob’s Ladder. Mix skillful
pleasure and comic adventure by throwing tomatoes at the insulting fools locked in the stocks at Vegetable Justice. Test your skill at games like the Dragon Climbing Tower, the Archery Range, and the Maze. Fly high into the sky on the Pirate's Assault Catapult. Take a ride on Christopher Columbus’ Voyage to the New World, the Piccolo Pony (a rocking horse bigger than an elephant), and Leonardo’s Flying Machine; a people powered amusement ride based on Di Vinci’s designs for human flight. A family favorite is Mother (and Father) Goose brought to life with their costumed ducks and geese, the Petting Farm, and Camel rides. Shopping – Early holiday shoppers can peruse over 140 craft shops in an open-air village market which provides a diverse selection of handmade items such as pottery, jewelry, perfume, glass blown ornaments, ceramics, bath & body products, medieval costumes, hand carved candles, unique musical instruments, children’s toys, a full spectrum of clothing, and much more. Watch artisans make a masterpiece right before your eyes. Enjoy demonstrations of fine skills such as weaving, woodcarving, blacksmithing, glassblowing, pottery, and jewelry making – all through the use of ancient skills and low technology. Be your own artisan! Learn to blacksmith and create your own souvenir at the all NEW Dragon Forge! Feasting – Did you work up an appetite perusing all the
shops and enjoying all the entertainment? Well you will be pleased to know that the food is as spectacular as all the attractions. Village kitchens cook up an endless feast of bread bowl stews, steak-on-a-stake, gourmet sausages, and the festival’s famous giant roasted turkey legs. Gluten free and vegetarian options are also available. For dessert, try the fresh crepes, the cakes and cookies from the Monks Bakery, candy delights from the Chocolate Shoppe, Italian ice, gelato, and a favorite of all renaissance wanderers: a bag of cinnamon-roasted almonds. Festival pubs offer a wide variety of craft beer, wine, champagne, ale, honey mead, soft drinks, Medieval Margaritas and all NEW Friar Puck’s Premium Lemonade!

BC Community Thanks BCPD for Great Work!!!
Pictured: The BCPD met with some special guests from BC Primary and Central and Susie’s Daycare. They were even treated to a song by the BC Primary and Central school! Pictures taken by Hydeia Hayes.
The Bessemer City Community celebrated “Thank a police officer day” on Friday, September 16th. National “Thank a Police Officer Day” is the third Saturday of September each year. This is a day to show your support for law enforcement. National “Thank a Police Officer Day” was established as a way to show sup-
port and appreciation of our everyday heroes and heroines. Oftentimes, we forget the cost many Police Officers bear for our basic freedoms. Captain Long, Officer Costner and Officer Worley greeted kids from Susie’s daycare and BC Primary and Central. The kids from BC Primary and Central even read and sang to the
BCPD Officers! The Kiser Senior Center was also filled with refreshments and items donated by local groups from the community. Bessemer City would like to remind you to thank your local police officers for all the hard work they do.
The City with a Healthy Heart Bessemer City, the “City With a Heart,” now has a silver heart. The city qualified for the Healthy Gaston “Silver Level” through a city-wide focus on health and wellness. Healthy Gaston is a county initiative to help businesses, schools, and churches create a culture of wellness for their em-
ployees. The Healthy Gaston initiative walks organizations through guidelines to help them organize, plan an action strategy, analyze that strategy and celebrate wellness success. Based on levels of the Healthy Gaston criteria, organizations earn a Bronze, Silver or Gold Level of recognition. With 53 employees,
the City of Bessemer City has strived to promote a healthy quality of life in the office and around town. Through strategic planning, Bessemer City has implemented four main focus areas to help employees: eating healthy, not using tobacco, participating in physical activity, and participating in Preventive Care. Pictured: Bessemer City staff cooked a great Mediterranian meal for workers. BC will have another Health fair this October. Pictures taken by Hydeia Hayes.
Public Works Stormwater Management The City of Bessemer City reminds you to maintain your storm drain by keeping it clear of debris! Streets lead to streams. Trash, leaves and yard clippings enter our storm drains and can harm aquatic life. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies storm-water as the biggest source of pollution to lakes, rivers, and streams
in our country. Washington’s Department of Ecology estimates that millions of pounds of toxic chemicals including petroleum, copper, lead, and zinc enter the Puget Sound each year. These materials can also clog storm drains and lead to localized flooding. Report clogged storm drains to 704-629-5542.
