School board race heats up The school board race in 2020 heated up this week with a total of nine Republicans and five Democrats seeking the five open seats. Shaun Murphy, Democrat, of Kings Mountain, became the 6th candidate to file for county commissioner, joining five Republicans who filed previously for the three open seats on the board. Filing for the March 3 Primary closed Friday at noon. Tim Moore of Kings Mountain, NC House Speaker, is running unopposed for his 10th term as District 111 Representative. Candidates for the board of county commissioners are Shaun Murphy, Dem-
ocrat; incumbents Johnny Hutchins, Kings Mountain, and Ronnie Whetstine, Shelby; Robbie Morgan, Fallston; Thomas McNeilly, Casar; and Dennis Davis, Lattimore, Republicans.

Cleveland County Director of Elections Clifton Philbeck said to determine the nominee for certain elections there is a primary election on Tuesday, March 3. If there is no clear nominee following the partisan primary election, there may be a second primary for that contest either on April 21, 2020 or May 12, 2020 if one or more federal contests for federal office in the state requires a second primary. In Cleveland County there will be a primary election for the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, Republican, and Cleveland County Board of Education, Republican.
During the citizen recognition portion of the City Council meeting, two citizens signed up to speak. Doug Lawing of 110 White Plains Road, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board, asked City Council to delay appointing two new slots on that board to allow them to complete the new comprehensive plan. He said it was a bad time to bring on two new people and would slow the process down. Council said they would take that into consideration. Dale Green, of 235 Landry Drive spoke in favor of term-limits for council and asked City Council not to give the proposed 2.5% pay increase to the City Manager, adding she had been given a pay increase last year. He

Sheriff Alan Noman honored with AG Dogwood Award ( R a leigh) Attorney General Josh Stein today announced that Sheriff Alan ALAN NORMAN Norman received the Attorney General’s Dogwood Award. These awards are given annually to honor North Carolinians who are dedicated to keeping people safe, healthy, and happy in their communities. “Sheriff Alan Norman is doing important work to pro-
tect public safety in Cleveland County,” said Attorney General Josh Stein. “From his commitment to keeping people safe from sex abuse to his tireless work to hold the dealers and traffickers who profit from people’s addiction accountable, I appreciate his leadership.” Sheriff Alan Norman is currently serving his third term as Cleveland County’s sheriff. A second-generation law enforcement officer, Sheriff Norman has worked in law enforcement for more than 35 years. “It is a shame that sex of-
fenders prey on our children and society,” said Sheriff Alan Norman. “Both are our future and it is my job to make sure that the public is informed of sex offenders within Cleveland County.” Sheriff Norman also added: “As long as I am Sheriff, we will continue to aggressively go after not only the street dealer, but all the way up the chain to the importer, in an attempt to make our community drug free, which lowers the crime rate. I humbly accept the Dogwood Award on behalf of the men and women I work with.”

New Year’s Eve is a wonderful time, with the ticking of the clock an old year passes, and a new year begins. It is an exciting time to share with family and friends. No matter where you live, from New York City, to Charlotte, to Kings Mountain, you can find ways to make the moment memorable while enjoying time with those you love. A New Year’s Eve countdown will occur on Railroad Avenue just before midnight on Tuesday. Arrive early as some merchants will be open trackside. Patriots Park is aglow with all the Christmas lights and the Holiday Light Show on Railroad Avenue shows a brilliant display at dusk. What better way to make memories than to get out and enjoy every, last bit of the holidays? Grab your camera and your family and join in the celebration. On New Year’s Day you can become tourists for a day in Kings Mountain and take photos doing things tourist might do shopping, dining, and exploring the sights. As an added benefit, you’ll also get in a little exercise. While the city is decorated for the holidays, be sure to take as many selfies as you can using the lights and window dressings as backdrops. There is a big Santa in the window of Ditto’s Consignment on Battleground Avenue and all municipal buildings are decorated for
Santa awaits your visit downtown. Be sure to visit before he heads back to the North Pole. Photo by Loretta Cozart the holidays. The new boutiques on East Gold Street have beautifully decorated windows that are sure to put your group in the holiday spirit. Merchants on Mountain Street did a great job with their displays, as well. Be sure to stroll over there to and get a photo of two. Churches throughout the community have wreaths on their doors. What a perfect spot to gather your family and get a photo. Or, perhaps they have a nativity on the lawn that would make a great photo with your family gathered around.
If you are more of the outdoor type, preferring nature to bright lights, Kings Mountain’s Gateway Trail is open during daylight hours for a brisk walk and giving you the opportunity to walk off those holiday calories. Lots of work has been done there and the views are beautiful. No matter how you celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, make the most of it with family. Take time to get out and about to walk off those holiday calories and make a few memories you’ll remember for years to come.
Better Business Bureau offers tips for holiday returns and exchanges Holiday returns aren’t easy! And we don’t mean the part where you explain to your mother why you returned the sweater she gave you. Stores are not legally required to accept exchanges or give refunds, unless the merchandise was defective or misrepresented. While most retailers do offer refund and exchange programs as a courtesy to their customers, policies vary greatly from one store to another. Add to the mix warranties, which are usually fulfilled by the manufacturer, and holiday returns can get confusing. The following tips should help to make your holiday returns run more smoothly. Get to know store policies. Before you make a purchase, find out if the store has a return policy and, if so, how it works. Understand that policies can change during the holiday season and may not apply to sale items. If the store does allow returns or exchanges, find out if you will need to pay a restock fee. Ask
the seller if they offer cash refunds, exchanges, or only store credit. Store policies are usually posted at the checkout counter or printed on the back of receipts. Understand online store return policies. If you are shopping online, search for the seller’s return policy and read it through before clicking “buy.” Find out if they accept returns or exchanges, and who pays the shipping when an item is returned. In some cases, you can save on shipping fees by returning an online purchase to the local brick-and-mortar store. Get the details on a product’s warranty. Most electronics and home appliances come with warranties that are to be fulfilled with the manufacturer, not the retailer. Find out how returns and repairs are handled if an item stops working or needs replacement parts. Will the retailer ship the item to the manufacturer for you? Or will you need to deal with the manufacturer directly? Knowing the answers
CB
will leave you well-prepared for any future issues. Keep your receipt and packaging. Most stores will only accept returns and exchanges if you can present the item with its receipt and original packaging. Always include a gift receipt with items you give and hold on to any gift receipts you receive. Bring your ID. To avoid holiday return scams, many stores ask to see your ID when you return an item. Sometimes retailers require you bring your ID and the original form of payment. If this is the policy of the store where your gift is from, you may need the assistance of the gift giver in order to be reimbursed. Make returns in a timely fashion. Almost all return policies are valid during a specific time period. Some stores modify their return period during the holidays, so don’t risk missing your chance to make your return. Take the item back to the store without delay.

To The Editor: In honor of how well this year's football team represented Kings Mountain Senior High School and its community, it was my sincere privilege to pay tribute to the team with my Christmas décor this year. It was ROYAL black and gold in the Smith household. I couldn't think of a better theme than that of this team who hustled and worked incredibly hard to gain the pigskin achievements that they obtained this year. Although I live here in Raleigh, NC, everybody that knows me KNOWS YOU! I have spoken very highly of and about how proud I am of this magnificent team, probably to an annoying level (smile). These
young men have been instructed by some of the finest coaches around, to include the Head Coach, Coach Greg Lloyd, and the others who so brilliantly contributed to the success of the team. Principal Rikard, you must be elated from this team's efforts. We may not have won the championship by title, but you guys will ALWAYS be champions to me. You played like beasts and represented to an extremely higher level than most. Again, I am so very proud of you and can't wait to see what next year holds. I'll see you then!

■ MEDITATION
The Joy in Giving O n e of my favorite things about Christm a s morning is Pastor w a t c h - Jeff Longwell Penley’s Chapel ing the Church reactions of children and grandchildren as they open their presents. It brings me such joy to see the eager anticipation and happiness in their faces as the wrapping paper is torn away and the gift is
revealed. Of course everyone loves to receive a gift, but as I grow older I have found I experience much greater pleasure in giving gifts than I ever did in receiving them. God is the greatest giver of all time and eternity! One of the most famous verses in the Bible highlights the heart of God the Father as a giver. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) God loved, so He gave; the two
go hand in hand. It’s been said, you can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. That is how He showed His love for us, by giving His Son to die for us. The prophet Isaiah said, ”Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him.” (53:10) God was pleased to sacrifice His Son because of His great love for us. This marvelous truth is revealed in the life and example of Christ. Jesus said, ” It is more blessed to give than to receive .” (Acts 20:35) He showed us this by giving us the most costly and pre-
cious gift He could give: His own life! The very reason He came was to, “give His life a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28) The truly amazing thing is that the scripture says He did it for joy. “Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross…” (Hebrews 12:2) He paid the penalty for our sins and that brought Him great joy! All around the world people celebrate the birth of Jesus by giving gifts to one another. It’s one of our holiday traditions and it reminds us of the greatest gift ever given: God’s own Son. I wonder how many would consider giv-
Page 5A
ing a gift to the Lord this Christmas? I am reminded of a story about the offering being received in an old country church one Sunday. When it came down the aisle to a young boy he took it, placed it on the floor, and firmly planted both feet in the center of the offering plate. Embarrassed, the boy’s mother asked, “What are you doing?” The boy replied, “I don’t have anything to give Jesus but me!” The greatest gift we could give to the Lord is ourselves. Whenwe truly give Him our all, we will experience the greatest joy in giving!

By Loretta Cozart American Legion Auxiliary member Deborah Hoyle and Patsy Payne Lemon, past president, delivered 24 afghans to veterans at White Oak Manor and Summit Place on Saturday, December 7. Hoyle spent more than a month in the Fall crocheting afghans for veterans as part of ALA Unit 155’s outreach to veterans program. “It was very touching when we gave the veterans their afghan. They were so happy, saying that is was a gift that would help them stay warm all Winter,” said Hoyle. “I crocheted 18 afghans myself and the remaining six were crocheted by another woman.” “We try to give the veterans something they can use and appreciate. With winter here, we knew the afghans would be a welcomed gift,” added Lemon. Kings Mountain has 24 veterans at both Summit Place and White Oak Manor.

iff's deputies drove up and down the road along Buffalo Creek, shining their lights on the water until they found him. They found the man in imminent danger of his car being swept down river or him being swept off the top of the car. The Cleveland County Sheriff's Deputies knew they had to act quickly to save his life, so they formed a human chain in
waist deep water to reach the man and bring him to safety. Sheriff Norman commeded the deputies saying, “I am extremely proud of the three officers who went above and beyond the call of duty, risking their own lives to bring someone to safety. At the end of the day, these officers along with other officers across the country, are underpaid for the jobs they do.”

Makerspace Demo Day coming to Library in February Make plans now to attend Mauney Memorial’s Makerspace Demo Day in February 2020. MML’s Makerspace will include a 3-D Printer, sewing machine, embroidery machine, Circuit digital cutter, and professional button maker. Makerspace is a buzzword for a space that contains tools and components that allow people to come in with an idea and go out with a component. Makerspaces
are communal, encouraging people to work together to learn and collaborate on projects. Those who participate in Makerspace explore ideas and create new things. They can even make improvements to things that already exist. In addition, Cleveland County Astronomical Society donated a 4.5-inch Astroscan Millennium Dobsonian Reflector Telescope from Scientifics Direct with
an Azimuth mount and star and planet locator. With this telescope, you’ll be able to see the rings of Saturn or some of the various nebulae in the night sky. Check it out on Facebook @mauneylibrary and keep watching mauneylibrary.org for more info. The Library will close at 5 pm on Tuesday, December 31, and will be closed New Year's Day, Wednesday, January 1.

Town and Country Garden Club meeting The Town and Country Garden Club met on November 14, 2019 at the home of Sarah Rhea. The Club Collect was read by the nine members present. A delicious meal of chicken cordon bleu, broccoli, cranberry salad, rolls and apple pie was served by the hostess. Sarah called the meeting to order. The minutes were presented by Glenda Crawford, Secretary and Susan Gibson, Treasurer gave the financial report. The Kings Mountain Post Office Project was updated with mulch, flowers, Camellias and Boxwoods. For the December meeting, members were reminded to bring greenery and old Christmas cards to make tray favors for the hospital, Hospice and White Oak Manor. Sarah Rhea read the Southern Living article of “What To Do In The Garden”. Sarah presented the program Wintergreen Plant Care. Wintergreen are low growing plants that are ground covers that are in the landscape even in winter. Gaultheria, or Wintergreen, is a sweet little plant with mint scented leaves and edible berries. It is perfect for cooler regions

and is native to North America. Any area of the garden that is shady to partially sunny make ideal Wintergreen growing conditions. These low growing plants form creeping mats of glossy green foliage that turns red to bronze in winter. The decorative red berries are an added bonus that are used in candies, gum, perfume, cosmetics, teas and other uses prior to synthetic flavorings. Wintergreen is a forest plan in its native habitat. It primarily colonizes areas around natives like Mountain Laurel and Rhododenrums in moist, acidic soils. This is an easy little plant to grow provided it is situated in a suitable location. When new plants are newly installed, the Wintergreen plant care should include regular watering. No pruning or mowing is required with this plant. It also has few pest or disease issues, partly due to the pungent oils, crushed leaves and berries emit. In summer, pale bell-shape flowers appear and lead to red drupes. The berries may persist well into the winter if birds, white-tailed deer, black bears and the eastern chipmunk do not eat them. Honey bees use the high-quality nector during dry weather to make a superior honey. It is also a medicinal herb. A fast method of Wintergreen plant propagation is through division. Divide plants in early spring and keep watered. Sarah shared with the members present a plantlet from the interesting flower called Walking Iris. This plant was given to her from her grandmother. The Walking Iris, Neomaricia sp., is one of the plants with a number of common names: Fan Iris, a name it gets from the appearance of its sword shaped leaves, which form a fan of greenery. It is also known as the
Apostle Plant, because it has to have twelve leaves before it will bloom. Another common name is Poor Man’s Orchid. This plant gets perhaps its most common name, Walking Iris, from its propagation habit. New plantlets form at the tops of flower stalks which then bend to the ground and take root. Eventually, the new plant will repeat the procedure. In this process many Walking Iris Plants “walk” through the landscape. They can be grown in full or partial shade, can tolerate a range of soil types, and will thrive in most locations. Walking Iris’ have interesting flowers, with outer petals that spread almost horizontally. Three curled inner petals add a pop of texture to the center of the bloom. The inner and outer petals have interesting yellow and mahogany markings at their base resembling tiger strips. These beautiful blooms only last one day, but as flowers die more will follow for an extended period. Flowering season for this perennial is spring into summer – February into August when fully established in the mild climate it prefers. Sarah closed the program by reminding us of the dependable garden beauty through four seasons, the Aucuba, a pretty broadleaf evergreen shrub. Full to partially shady spots are best for the variegated form of Aucuba. These are tough plants that are drought tolerant. Well drained areas are best to plant to prevent root rot. They grow from 5 to 10 feet high. Pruning in the early spring can hold these bushes to a desirable size. The Aucuba has been a favorite in the southern states for over 200 years. A most informable program was enjoyed by the club members.

Piedmont Lithium receives approval to develop largest mine in Gaston County Piedmont Lithium Limited announced that it has received a Clean Water Act Section 404 Standard Individual Permit (“Section 404 Permit”) from the US Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) for the Company’s 100% owned Piedmont Lithium Project in North Carolina, USA. The USACE completed an Environmental Assessment of the Project in conjunction with six other state and federal agencies based on Piedmont’s December 2018 permit application and the Company’s responses to agency and public comments. The EA resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact for the Project. The Section 404 Permit is the only federal permit required for the proposed mine and concentrator. The Company has also received a CWA Section 401 Individual Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. HDR Engineering’s Charlotte Office acted as lead consultant in the preparation of both permit applications. sThe 404 and 401 permit approvals were achieved on the Company’s planned permit timeline originally announced in April 2018 and represent a major milestone in the development of the Project.
Piedmont will now accelerate development activities for the integrated lithium chemical business and the company expects to complete a preliminary feasibility study (“PFS”) for its lithium hydroxide plant in Q2 2020 and a definitive feasibility study (“DFS”) for the Company’s integrated project by the end of 2020. Keith D. Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Securing a Section 404 Individual Permit is a major milestone for any natural resource project in the United States, and we are very pleased to have received this authorization. I want to thank our team members and advisors who have worked so diligently and cooperatively throughout this rigorous process and express our thanks to the Army Corps of Engineers for the highly professional manner in which they have approached this Project from day one. We will now move forward with the permitting of our chemical plant operations during 2020. Our project is unique in being the only spodumene-to-hydroxide project in the United States, and now also stands out as the most advanced American lithium project from a permitting perspective. We are very excited about the important milestones ahead of us as

One to remember: KM skins Cats 103-70 It took Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers a while to heat up in Thursday’s Big South matchup with North Gaston, but when they did they rolled to one of the school’s biggest scoring nights ever as they went into the Christmas break with a 103-70 victory over the Wildcats. And, it was obvious when Coach Grayson Pierce cleared his bench in the fourth quarter and the KM point total was approaching the century mark that fans wanted junior football star Javari Rice-Wilson to make the basket. Wilson managed just that, banking a put-back with 1:33 remaining for the final two of his six points on the night. As the ball went through the net the student section erupted and many of the fans ran from their front row seats across the out-of-bounds area to celebrate.
The win improved the Mountaineers to 2-0 as conference teams go into the Christmas break. Twelve of the 13 players on the KM roster got into the scoring act with Weston Hughes leading the way with 22. LT Thomas added 15 and Isaiah Tate 13. No one had a hundred in their mind when the Wildcats jumped on top early. The Mountaineers rallied behind excellent floor play of Kobe Paysour and big buckets by Tate to draw the deficit 14-13, and the Mountaineers went on to lead 19-16 at the quarter break. Hughes came in off the pine in the second quarter and poured in 12 points – including a pair of treys – as the locals built a 45-31 halftime lead. By the end of the third quarter the Mountaineers were up 74-50, and with 6:05 left in the game LT
Thomas slammed one home for an 89-50 lead. KM fans then began sensing a 100-point game. A steal and lay-in by Rice-Wilson put the margin to 93-55 at the 4:50 mark. Buckets by Rice-Wilson and Titus Phillips brought the score to 99-61 with 3:04 left, setting the stage for Wilson’s bucket to go over a hundred. Silas Price’s dunk closed it out with 25 seconds remaining. Kings Mountain’s girls continued to improve in the opener, coming from behind in the second half to defeat the Lady Wildcats 58-50. Sophomore Saniya Wilson, still not at full strength after a summer knee injury, had her best game of the year with 30 points, five rebounds and six assists. Freshman Khalia King contributed 13 points and four rebounds, Kennedy Barnes had seven points and six rebounds, and

freshman Alayna Patrick had five points and four steals. North Gaston led 17-11 after the first period and 40-30 at halftime but the Mountaineer defense shut them down in the second half. North’s Dorianna Goode, who finished with 25 points, scored only five in the second half. KM held the North ladies to six points in the third quarter and five in the fourth. Three of those came on a trey by Mallory Camp and the other two on free throws by Bailey Perry. Kings Mountain tied the score at 45-all at the 6:45 mark of the final period on a bucket by Wilson, and took their first lead at 50-45 on a Wilson jumper at the 5:02 mark. A quick North timeout couldn’t slow down the KM ladies and they stretched their lead to 53-45 with four minutes See ONE, Page 2B

Thirty-four of Cramer’s 43 points came from Ranja Hamilton, who scored 19 and Reece Wolfe who hit five threes for 15 points. The Mountaineers got a big game from sophomore Isaiah Tate with 31 points. LT Thomas added 19 and Matt Toms 14. Will Kelly was the big gun for Cramer with 26 points and 11 boards. The Mountaineers trailed 21-17 after the first period but rallied for a 33all tie at the half.

IRS Introduces a Tax Form Created for Older Taxpayers Dear Savvy Senior, A couple months back I read that the IRS will be offering a new senior-friendly tax form this tax season that will be easier to use. What can you tell me about this? Paper Filer Dear Filer, It’s true. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has created a new federal income-tax form specifically designed for senior taxpayers, age 65 and older, that should make filing a little easier this year, particularly those who don’t file electronically. Here’s what you should know. Form 1040-SR Created by the 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act, the new two-page simplified federal income tax form is called the 1040-SR. Similar in style to the old 1040-EZ form that the IRS discontinued last year, the new 1040-SR has larger print and better color contrast that makes it easier to read. In addition, it also includes a chart to help older taxpayers calculate their standard deduction, which may
help ensure that fewer seniors neglect to take the additional standard deduction that they are entitled to. For 2019, the additional deduction for those 65 or older or the blind is $1,300. The 1040-SR form also has specific lines for retirement income streams such as Social Security benefits, IRA distributions, pensions and annuities, along with earned income from work wages and tips. And, it allows a child tax credit for seniors who are still taking care of a dependent child or grandchild. You can also report capital gains and losses, as well as interest and dividends on this new form. Any of the tax schedules available to those using the standard form 1040 may also be used with the 1040-SR. You should also know that the 1040SR doesn’t put a limit on interest, dividends, or capital gains, nor does it cap overall income like the old 1040-EZ form did. But, if you have to itemize because of state and local taxes or charitable giving, then you
will not be able to use the new Form 1040-SR. Paper Filing Advantage Seniors who use tax-preparation software to file their taxes will be able to generate a 1040-SR, but the new form will provide the most significant benefit to taxpayers who still fill out and file their returns on paper. Last year, about 88 percent of the 153 million individual federal tax returns filed to the IRS were filed electronically. About 5 percent were prepared using tax software, then printed out and mailed to the agency, while about 7 percent were prepared on paper. To use the new 1040-SR tax form for the 2019 filing year, taxpayers, including both spouses if filing jointly, must be at least age 65 before Jan. 1, 2020. You also don’t have to be retired to use the form – older workers can use it too. But early retirees (younger than 65) cannot use 1040SR. To see the 2019 draft version of the new 1040-SR form, go to IRS.gov/
pub/irs-dft/f1040s--dft.pdf. Tax Preparation Help If you need help filing your tax returns this year, consider contacting the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE) program. Sponsored by the IRS, TEC provides free tax preparation and counseling to middle and low-income taxpayers, age 60 and older. Call 800-906-9887 or visit IRS.treasury.gov/freetaxprep to locate a service near you. Also check with AARP, a participant in the TCE program that provides free tax preparation at more than 4,800 sites nationwide. To locate an AARP Tax-Aide site call 888-2277669 or visit AARP.org/findtaxhelp. You don’t have to be an AARP member to use this service. 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.

Landowner Protection Act clarifies laws on hunting, fishing and trapping Cooler weather brings Hunting Season for many NC game animals that continues into late January or February, depending upon species. Hunters, trappers, and fishermen need to be aware of the NC Landowner Protection Act as it relates to posted lands. The Act clarifies the existing G.S. 14-159.6 requirement for written consent to hunt, fish, or trap on posted lands by specifying that written permission, dated within
the past 12 months and signed by the landowner, lessee, or agent of that land, be carried and displayed upon request of any law enforcement officer. Landowner have had difficulty keeping their properties posted using signs, as they are often torn or blown down. If signs are used, the landholder can place notices, signs, or posters on the property boundaries at 200 yards apart or closer. As a remedy for this challenge, NC now allows landowners with posted
Millions of NC Drivers to be exempt from emissions inspection fees lenburg, New Hanover, Onslow, Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Union and Wake. Safety inspections will still required for vehicle registration renewal in all 100 North Carolina counties. Officials from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality said “this change is only possible because of the strides we’ve made in improving air quality throughout the state of North Carolina.” The state’s Division of Air Quality said it “determined that ending inspections in the exempted rural counties would not negatively impact air quality or interfere with the attainment status or maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.” The state legislature made earlier changes in 2015 that ended emissions tests for vehicles in North Carolina under 3 years old that have less than 70,000 miles. The state’s environmental agency announced that year that “North Carolina’s air quality has improved significantly since emissions testing requirements were expanded for motor vehicles in the early 2000s,” and that “we could eliminate emissions testing for motor vehicles in numerous counties without harming air quality or violating federal standards.” Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) helped see the regulatory reform through Washington, D.C. and called it “a badly needed reform” in a release. “I’m thrilled to see five of my district’s counties on the list of those who will see the benefits of the exemption,” Meadows said. “I want to thank Speaker Moore and State Rep. Presnell for their outstanding work and leadership on this issue, and the Trump administration for their willing assistance in seeing the policy through.”
AAA Carolinas warns of holiday road rage As Carolinians gear up for holiday travels and one last weekend of holiday shopping, AAA Carolinas warns of the dangers of aggressive driving and engaging in road rage. Research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety suggests that approximately 8 million U.S. drivers engaged in extreme examples of road rage, including purposefully ramming another vehicle or getting out of the car to confront another driver in the past year. AAA encourages drivers to maintain a cool head, and focus on reaching their destination safely. AAA offers these tips to help prevent road rage: Follow the rules of the road: Maintain adequate following distance. Don't tailgate drivers even if you feel they are going too slow. Use turn signals. Allow others to merge. Use your high beams responsibly. Tap your horn if you must (but no long blasts). Be considerate in parking lots. Park in one spot, not across multiple. Be careful not to hit cars parked next to you with your door. Remain-
ing calm and courteous behind the wheel lowers your risk of an unpleasant encounter – with another driver and with law enforcement. Dealing with confrontation: Avoid eye contact with angry drivers. Don’t respond to aggression with aggression. If you feel you are at risk, drive to a public place such as a police station, hospital or fire station. Use your horn to attract attention but remain in your locked vehicle. If you are confronted, stay as calm and courteous as possible. If you feel threatened, call 911. Always remember: Do Not Offend: Never cause another driver to change their speed or direction. That means not forcing another driver to use their brakes, or turn the steering wheel in response to something you have done. Be Tolerant and Forgiving: The other driver may just be having a really bad day. Assume that it is not personal. Do not Respond: Avoid eye contact, don’t make gestures, maintain space around your vehicle and contact 911 if needed.
ficers can write a citation on site and expedite proper and efficient enforcement of existing trespass law. If an individual or hunt club obtains permission to hunt on the land, the individual must carry the permission to hunt. If a hunt club obtains permission, individual members must carry both their hunt club membership card and the landowner’s permission to hunt with them.

In December millions of North Carolina drivers across 26 counties, including Cleveland County, will get relief from paying vehicle inspection fees for annual emissions testing after air quality improvements led state legislators to seek federal exemptions from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The state General Assembly took the action in a regulatory relief act Senate Bill 131 that Gov. Roy Cooper signed into law last spring. The EPA has announced approval of the exemptions will take effect in one month. State Rep. Michele Presnell (R-Yancey) and House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) were among legislative leaders who pushed for the reforms that are years in the making. “Saving drivers this annual cost is consistent with our policy priority to reduce unnecessary financial burdens on North Carolinians and help communities thrive,” said Speaker Moore. “People in my district cannot afford to replace parts on their cars that cost hundreds of dollars that do little to nothing to improve emissions,” Rep. Presnell said. “My constituents are tired of paying good money for useless government-mandated testing.” Emissions testing will be removed from the following counties: Brunswick, Burke, Caldwell, Carteret, Catawba, Chatham, Cleveland, Craven, Edgecombe, Granville, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Lenoir, Moore, Nash, Orange, Pitt, Robeson, Rutherford, Stanly, Stokes, Surry, Wayne, Wilkes and Wilson. Emissions testing will still be required in 22 counties: Alamance, Buncombe, Cabarrus, Cumberland, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Franklin, Gaston, Guilford, Iredell, Johnston, Lee, Lincoln, Meck-

Each paint mark must be a vertical line of at least eight inches in length, and the bottom of the mark shall be no less than three feet or more than five feet from the base of the tree or post. The paint marks need to be placed 100 yards apart or closer. Before the passage of the Landowner Protection Act, Wildlife Officers had to obtain an arrest warrant or criminal summons prior to enforcing trespass. As of Oct. 1, 2011, Wildlife Of-

Low gas prices mean it's a great time for a winter road trip Edited by Alan Hodge from NCDOT information
With the price of gasoline hovering just above two dollars a gallon and holiday traffic slowly but surely calming down, now is the time to get out of the house with a quick auto day trip on one of our area's official North Carolina Scenic Byways. Known as “The Crowders Mountain Drive”, this eight-mile jaunt takes motorists by Crowders and Kings mountains in Gaston and Cleveland counties. To begin following the byway, take Exit 10 from I-85 and follow U.S. 29/74 to the community of Mountain View. Exit onto Sparrow Springs Road (S.R. 1125),where the route begins. Follow Sparrow Springs Road and turn right onto Pinnacle Road (S.R. 1104) as they wind around the base of Crowders and Kings mountains. Crowders Mountain, named for a local settler, is one of the peaks in the Kings Mountain Range. The mountain range is about three miles long, extending from the southern end of Gaston and Cleveland counties in North Carolina into York County, S.C. The highest peak, called the Pinnacle, marks the northern end of the range. Its weathered granite cap, called a monadnock, stands above the other peaks as a king stands above his people. Continue on Sparrow Springs Road as it veers right into the area around Crowders Mountain State Park. The park showcases the local mountains, which are remnants of the ancient Appalachians. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking or rock climbing in the park. Continue following the byway by turning right to stay on Sparrow Springs Road for two miles, and then right again onto Pinnacle Road.
The first mile is gravel. Formed in 1841, Cleveland County was named for Benjamin Cleveland, a hero at the Battle of Kings Mountain during the Revolutionary War. Kings Mountain National Military Park, located in South Carolina, is the site of that decisive British defeat in 1780. The valley is also known as Sherrars Gap and separates the Pinnacle from the rest of the Kings Mountain Range. Pinnacle Road changes to Lake Montonia Road (S.R. 2292) at the Cleveland/Gaston County line. Follow this road for about one mile where it intersects with N.C. 161. Turn right onto N.C. 161 North for one-half mile to I-85 where the byway ends. For an interesting side trip, continue into South Carolina to the Kings Mountain National Military Park by turning left onto N.C. 161 South and driving four miles into South Carolina to the park’s access road. Another nearby day trip is the Drovers Road. This byway passes through Hickory Nut Gap, one of two gaps in the Blue Ridge Mountains used by early eastern settlers to reach the beautiful Asheville plateaus. Many farmers drove flocks of market-bound livestock through this gap, giving the byway its name. Though this area has changed considerably during the past century, its beauty still abounds and the paths blazed through this region a century ago are the same avenues of choice today. The byway’s western end begins along U.S. 74 Alternate at the Blue Ridge Parkway, just north of Fairview as the highway works its way through the mountains from Asheville. Traveling south, notice Little Pisgah Mountain (elevation 4,412

NC Dept. of Travel and Tourism photo No matter what the time of year or vantage point, the landscape around Crowders Mtn. State Park and its scenic byways offer great viewing. feet) on the left. This peak was once known to the Cherokee as Konnatoga Little Pisgah Mountain marks the beginning of the climb up and through Hickory Nut Gap. This gap was once known as Sherrill’s Gap after a historic inn and tavern located nearby and owned by Bedford Sherrill. The inn, open between 1834 and 1909, was a wellknown comfort stop for weary travelers, settlers, drovers and Civil War soldiers. Listed as a National Register Historic Site, the inn is now maintained as a private residence and is visible from the wide curves between Ferguson Mountain and Tater Knob. The hillsides along the byway are covered in stands of mature trees. Descending from the gap, the byway passes into Hickory Nut Gorge. Bearwallow Mountain is on the right. Hickory Nut Creek (also known as the Rocky Broad) parallels the route. Five miles from the beginning of the byway is the quaint village of Gerton, previously known as Pump. As the story goes, the town’s original name came from the frequent practice of thirsty patrons to leave money by a local water pump. Upon their return, they would find a jar of clear potent liquid unique to these hills. The drive through this area offers several craft shops, stores, campgrounds and roadside stands. A popular destination for generations and only about an hour from Gaston and Cleveland counties, the Black Mountain Rag Scenic Byway is full of twists, turns, ups and downs. Along the sharp curves and hairpin turns of N.C. 9 lies the town of Bat Cave, which was aptly named for a nearby cave inhabited by these winged mammals. This portion of the byway is not recommended for recreational vehicles due to sharp curves.
Flowing to the right of N.C. 9 the Broad River, which ends at the community of Lake Lure, is joined by Hickory Nut Creek near the intersection of U.S. 64, U.S. 74 and N.C. 9. To visit Lake Lure, turn left and follow U.S. 64/74A/N.C. 9 East. Departing Bat Cave, take U.S. 64 East to Chimney Rock. Chimney Rock is a weathered granite monolith that rises from Chimney Rock Mountain. Motorists may want to take a side trip to Chimney Rock State Park to visit this unique rock formation, which overlooks Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. Hickory Nut Falls, cascading more than 400 feet into the Broad River, adds to the beautiful mountain scenery and have been featured in a number of movies including “Fire Starter,” “Last of the Mohicans” and “A Breed Apart.” The gorge runs southeast from Hickory Nut Gap and drops 1,800 feet before ending at Lake Lure. The resort community of Lake Lure was established in 1927 and provided the scenery for the movie “Dirty Dancing.” Before crossing Pool Creek, where N.C. 9 and U.S. 64/74A split, notice the historic resort hotel on the right. To continue following the byway, backtrack along U.S. 64 West eight miles to Bat Cave along the winding edge of Lake Lure. In Bat Cave, follow U.S. 64 toward Hendersonville. Along this six-mile route, enjoy the beautiful masses of mountain laurel and some of North Carolina’s finest apple orchards. This area was settled in 1830. The Black Mountain Rag byway ends at Mills Gap Road. For more information on scenic byways and drives in North Carolina, go to http://www.visitnc.com/ scenic-byways-drives.
