Parker building progress By Loretta Cozart Michael Parker, president of Parker Construction and Development, bought the old Sagesport/Fulton’s building last summer and has begun work to reclaim the century old building. The three-story structure had collapsed upon itself, from the rooftop to the basement. Many citizens worried about the outcome of this historic property, but the work to clear the debris and begin Parker’s new vision for this building has begun. It is an exciting time to witness the rebirth of an historic Kings Mountain landmark. This building has housed Sagesport, Fulton’s, Myer’s Department Store, and Piggly Wiggly, among other businesses. “I became interested in this building because it is one of the few freestanding buildings downtown. It is located on a corner lot and has plenty of parking nearby,“ he said. “I hope that our actions to save this building and revitalize it will spark even more mo-

It is interesting to see the structure with the interior stripped down to the walls. One can see that the large second story windows were once bricked in, leaving only small windows that reduced the sunlight upstairs. Plaster covered the new brick
inside. With electricity, the need for large windows was no longer a necessity. At the back of the second floor, doors were added to the window spaces, providing access to what one can only guess was used as a balcony. The building does have beautiful views of Kings Mountain. A doorway once provided access to Cherokee Street, but from the outside one can see it isn’t at streetlevel. So, there was once a See PARKER, Page 7
COVID-19 results in lost revenue
No tax increases proposed in city’s 2020-2021 budget By Loretta Cozart On May 21, at 4 pm, the City of Kings Mountain's mayor, city council, city manager and other city staff held a budget work session in Council Chambers of City Hall to review changes to the 2020 – 2021 proposed budget resulting from a decrease in city revenue from COVID-19. City Manager Marilyn Sellers presented the city staff’s proposed budget that was amended on May 18, due to a reduction in revenue that the staff estimates
to be approximately $1 million dollars as a result of COVID-19. According to Sellers, “The League of Municipalities and the Local Government Commission has stated that, “All the municipalities across North Carolina would experience substantial losses, not only in sales tax, but also in loss of utility revenue from businesses and industries due to cutbacks and closures. Additional anticipated losses could be due to suspension of late fees, delay in disconnections, and probably in
property tax collections. So, we have a lot of unknowns we are facing in preparing the budget.” The total proposed budget is $46,124,966 and is considered flat since it is lower than inflation. Police and Fire would be impacted most by the proposed budget, by approximately 40%. Public Works, sanitation, recycling, and garbage could be impacted by 21%. Primary revisions to the initial budget proposed by the city on May 1 and then revised on May 18 were: See BUDGET, Page 2

On Memorial Day, Kings Mountain National Military Park and Vicksburg National Military Park was joined by 30 other national parks across 12 states and the District of Columbia to host a virtual commemoration, saluting America’s fallen soldiers. A segment on Preston Goforth, who died during the Battle of Kings Mountain, was featured for this virtual commemoration. Goforth is buried in a family cemetery on Afton Drive across from the Food Lion on the Shelby Road. In 2005, the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter rededicated the cemetery and members do upkeep on the cemetery annually. Memorial Day is traditionally a time to reflect on American values by learning about our natural and cultural heritage, visiting historic places, and enjoying the great outdoors. This year’s virtual event offered way to connect with national parks from anywhere through a virtual experience. The 2020 National Park Service Virtual Memorial Day Tribute was a 13-hour social media event held on Monday. It featured a series of live streams, demonstrations, historic talks and other activities starting at 8 am. The commemoration covered memorials and stories of the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War and other topics. A video tribute of park rangers from Maryland to Montana reciting the Gettysburg Address was also featured. “National parks across the country are charged with preserving some of America’s most important moments of valor and sacrifice where those events occurred,” said Sarah Cunningham, acting superintendent of the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution Parks Group. “We are honored to provide greater access to these stories
by presenting a virtual tribute that pays respect to all who died in service to our country.” The Southern Campaign Parks, including Kings Mountain National Military Park, Cowpens National Battlefield, Ninety-Six National Historic Site, and the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, presented “Recognizing Revolutionary War Veterans” at on Ninety-Six National Historic Site’s Facebook page. Other event highlights included a national moment of remembrance, a wreath-laying ceremony, taps salute, the reading of names, a tour of the national cemetery and a livestream closing sunset. Visitors to the social media tribute were also invited to observe the holiday by performing an act of service in honor of a fallen service member, as part of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park’s Memorial Day of Service activity. Information about the volunteer
initiative, including service project ideas and a memorial certificate, is posted at facebook.com/KMNBP. For more information on the virtual Memorial Day celebration, visit go.nps.gov/ MemorialDay or follow @ KingsMountainNPS and #VirtualMemorialDay on Facebook. The National Parks Service offers numerous ongoing virtual experiences that extend beyond Memorial Day, including live tours, kids activities, reading lists, digital suggestions, and more.

COVID-19 •Not accomplished – 2.5% - 5% allowance for market year rate increase due to COVID-19 •The city will continue to fund all vacant positions anticipating they will be filled if the positions are justified by the department head The city has not furloughed or had lay-offs due to COVID-19 and were able to maintain their employee base, however some employees were repurposed. The General Fund overview showed a reduction of $837,826 from FY 20192020 and FY 2020-2021, which includes the non-recurring transfer of $600,000. Funds of $500,000 would be transferred from the Electrical Fund to General Fund Reserve and $100,000 to the Library Capital Fund for roof work that had already been planned. The General Fund balance can only be spent for emergency or capital needs that would benefit and that the city is not able to finance. The budget amendments proposed impact four areas: •Expenditure reductions, all payroll related - $291,826 • Combination of factors – no rate increases combined
with a slight restatement of revenues - $691,826 • Not needed due to expenditure reductions and increased transfers - $200,000 • One-time non-recurring transfer related to COVID-19 - $600,000 City Manager Marilyn Sellers pointed out, “You’ll see budget amendments throughout next year’s budget that will come before you to approve.” City of Kings Mountain Finance Director Chris Costner added, “Our overall philosophy for the amended budget was to hold everything as flat as we can and to remain flexible enough and have the resources available to amend the budget as things become clearer.” The city did not propose a property tax increase however they did compare the current property tax rate with other municipalities. Among others, three municipalities nearby were noted. Kings Mountain has the lowest property tax rate among them at 43 cents. Comparatively, Shelby’s property tax rate is 52 cents, Lincolnton’s is 56 cents, and Morganton’s is 57 cents. On average, municipalities with populations of 10,000 and 20,000 charge a
property tax rate of 54 cents. Mayor Neisler concluded the meeting, noting, “We are blessed we are in a situation where we can maneuver it a little bit to make a balanced budget and not go up on property taxes when we know we are kicking the can (on a property tax increase) down the road. We’ll have to probably address that issue in next year’s budget. I think we all felt like it wasn’t the right time to get it done,” he said. Sellers advised council, “The public will be able to see the entire budget PowerPoint that was presented to you, and that you received, at the next city council meeting on Tuesday, May 26. You will be voting then to set the date of Thursday, June 11 at 6 pm for a Public Hearing to receive public input and the vote on the proposed budget which will be effective July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.” “The city clerk will advertise the Public Hearing notice, along with all the other required notices. We hope the public will listen and give input.”

NCDHHS reports state’s first MIS-C case The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services reported its first case of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 on May 21. While children generally experience mild symptoms with COVID-19, recently a possible link has been found between COVID-19 and a serious inflammatory disease in some children and teenagers who have current or recent infections. The first reports of this syndrome came from the United Kingdom in late April. Cases in the United States were first reported in New York City in early May. NCDHHS has requested reporting of suspected cases of MIS-C from all health care providers. The Department is also monitoring for possible cases using existing surveillance systems and will include this in the weekly surveillance report going forward. To protect the family’s privacy, the patient’s age and other specific informa-
tion about the case will not be released. MIS-C is a very rare condition, but as COVID-19 cases increase, additional reports of MIS-C could follow. Because children with this syndrome may become seriously ill, it is important that parents and caregivers know the signs and symptoms their children may have so they can get help right away. Most children with MIS-C have fever (temperature of 100.4 degrees F or 38.0 degrees C or greater) lasting several days, along with other symptoms. Other common symptoms include: • Irritability or decreased activity • Abdominal pain without another explanation • Diarrhea • Vomiting • Rash • Conjunctivitis (red or pink eyes) • Poor feeding Red, cracked lips or red, bumpy tongue that looks like a
strawberry Swollen hands and feet, which might also be red Call your child’s doctor immediately if your child has a persistent fever plus any of the above symptoms. The doctor will ask about your child’s symptoms and use that information to recommend next steps. If your child is severely ill, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 immediately. MIS-C is not contagious, but children with these symptoms could have COVID-19 or another infection that may be contagious. Parents and caregivers should take precautions to prevent spread, and health care providers will use infection control precautions when treating your child. Information about MIS-C cases in North Carolina will be updated each week in the surveillance summary on the NCDHHS COVID-19 website and data will be shared with the CDC to help track MIS-C nationally.

Driving by Mauney Memorial Library on Saturday, one could see that the four front windows were boarded up. Inquiring with the Mayor, it was learned that the four original windows to the building were out for refurbishing. They are not being replaced, rather the originals are being repaired using as much of the original materials as possible to keep the Mauney Memorial Library true to its original form due
to it being on the National Register of Historic Places. Mauney Memorial Library is housed in the Hord mansion, which was built in the early 1920s by Dr. J.G. Hord. It was the first building in town designed by an architect. Two years were required to build the house. After its completion, Mrs. Hord was known to have beautiful roses and flowers in formal gardens on the property. The Hord family was large and social. The house offered a
great vantage point from which to watch President Hoover’s 1930 ride through town, which one of the Hord daughters remembers doing. Dr. Hord did not live long after moving into the house. In 1947, the Mauney children bought the house and gave it to the City of Kings Mountain in memory of their parents as a place for the town’s library. In 2014, the library building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

What Are You Learning? Studies suggest students who spend time using what they have learned to teach what they have learned go Jeff Wilson on to demonPastor strate a better Kings Mountain u n d e r s t a n d - Church of the ing as well Nazarene as enhanced retention of knowledge. Conversely, students who simply spend the same time re-studying do not
demonstrate better understanding and retained knowledge. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus says “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” When we consider that Jesus asks us to teach people what he taught us, it makes sense that we as teachers should be growing in our understanding and knowledge of Christ as we teach others. So why are
so many of us still stuck in the habits of only re-studying scripture in church or different bible studies? As a pastor, I will go on record in saying that church attendance and participation in small group bible studies (or Sunday School) is an important piece in the maturation of a Christ follower. However, church attendance and bible studies are only a part of what it means to be a Christ follower. A Christ follower is expected to learn and grow, but also to help others learn and grow. The goal is to find balance with investing
in the lives of others along with allowing others to invest in your life. If our church attendance is only for spiritual growth, I think we are missing out. Let me encourage you to go and find others who you can invest in. Alongside other people, we can model—or live out—what we have learned from Jesus. Within this, we can not only learn on a personal level, but collectively as well. Also, we can grow and mature together. This is an incredible opportunity to learn more about someone’s family, culture, interests and so many other fas-
cinating things about them. Remember, Jesus’ instruction to go and teach was equally about going and learning. The more we learn about God, the more we learn about people, I believe it becomes easier for us to teach—and model—in very tangible ways that Jesus loves them. Let me ask you, what are you learning about your neighbor, your coworker, your mechanic, the person in line at the post office, or the Nazarene pastor writing this article?

KM Special Events features White Oak Manor video By Loretta Cozart On Friday, May 21, Kings Mountain Special Events shared an uplifting video from White Oak Manor titled Our Family Matters. The video shared staff and patients dancing to the theme song of Family Matters. Staff from administration, nursing, therapy, social, activities,
human resources and staffing, housekeeping, bookkeeping, SDC, and others interacting to uplift patents and the community through the Coronavirus pandemic. The song alone is uplifting, but the participation of the staff made the video special. It just made you want to dance. To watch this and other videos, visit: https://www.

Quarantine fatigue By Loretta Cozart As the Coronavirus pandemic stretches into its third month, many North Carolinians are feeling quarantine fatigue. In other words, people are looking for ways cheat and interact with others in the safest way possible. Is that even possible? Last week, the Centers for Disease Control made subtle changes in its COVID-19 guidance, which emphasizes that the greatest risk comes from spreading the SARS-CoV-2 virus through person-to-person transmission. The biggest risk comes during gatherings where many people come together: graduation parties and Father’s Day forthcoming. However, a gathering of neighbors on your patio could expose you to Coronavirus if those people were out and about before visiting your home. The risk is exponential, the larger the number of those at your gathering, the higher the risk of exposure. At their website, the CDC shared, COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person. The virus that causes COVID19 is spreading very easily and sustainably between people. Information from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic suggest that this virus is spreading more efficiently than influenza, but not as efficiently as measles, which is highly contagious. It may be possible that a person can get COVID19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads,

Opossums are about this time of year By Loretta Cozart
but we are still learning more about how this virus spreads. At this time, the risk of COVID-19 spreading from animals to people is considered to be low. It appears that the virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations. CDC is aware of a small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID19. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. You can take steps to slow the spread. • Maintain good social distance (about 6 feet). This is very important in preventing the spread of COVID-19. • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
• Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces. It is human nature to socialize. People gather to celebrate the milestones of life. They share both the joys and the sorrows and lift each other up through hardships. Getting through COVDI-19 is no different. But the advice of heath care professionals is counterintuitive to our nature. To prevent the spread of the disease we must not do what our mind tells us to do. We want to gather, but we can’t. We want to visit and support our elderly, but the disease is a huge risk for them. So instead, we call or FaceTime. When we do go out, we must continue to wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash our hands often. To protect each other, people must stay apart and go out only when necessary. Together, apart, we can save lives until a vaccine is found.
Have you seen any opossums hanging around lately? The opossum, a marsupial, or “pouched” mammal, and is related to other marsupials such as the kangaroo and the koala. This time of year, you’ll see them after dark, or in the late evening, as they forage for food. Opossums live an average lifespan of one to two years. This short lifespan is due in part to the presence of many predators including dogs, cats and people. The nocturnal opossum is attracted to our neighborhoods by the availability of water, pet food left out at night and overripe, rotting fruit that has fallen from trees. The opossum in turn helps keep our neighborhoods clean and free of unwanted, harmful garden pests and rodents, which may carry diseases. The opossum has earned the title of “Nature’s Little Sanitation Engineer.” The best way to keep them from visiting is to have tight-fitting lids on garbage cans, not leave any pet food outside overnight, and to remember to pick up any fruit that has fallen from trees. Opossums can be beneficial for your garden, eating snails, slugs, cockroaches, crickets, and beetles. Sometimes they
even eat small rodents.
Opossums are primarily nocturnal and generally spend the daylight hours in a den or abandoned squirrel nest. Although opossums do not hibernate, they may remain in a den during short periods of extremely cold weather.
opossum is a unique animal in North Carolina. In 1612, the English explorer, John Smith, described it as having the head of a pig, a tail of a rat, and being the size of a cat with baggage under her belly where she The Virginia Opossum is the native carries and suckles her to the United States and is seen at young.

provide adequate times for cleaning and sanitizing the facilities. Where possible, provide separate and clearly marked points of entry and exit for spectators. When sinks or showers are not 6-feet apart, consider limiting use to every other sink or shower so individuals can maintain social distancing while using. Provide readily available alcohol-based hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol). Personal training services and fitness coaching should also practice social distancing to the extent possible. When these services require physical contact between coach and athlete, wash hands immediately prior to and following the contact and face to face contact should be minimal. Additional guidelines cover cleaning, hygiene, monitoring people for symptoms of coronavirus, protecting vulnerable populations, combating misinformation, and water and
ventilation systems. While the NCHSAA is proceeding to the next stage of its COVID-19 re-opening plan, the ruling will not override what the state of North Carolina and Governor Roy Cooper decides is best for high school athletics. Individual School Systems, including Cleveland County Schools, have yet to formally announce how or when these new Phase 2 guidelines will be adopted locally, but announcements are anticipated this week.

Non-contact sports participants must also: Clearly provide 6-feet floor markings on sidelines, waiting lines, and other areas where there may be a group of people. Designate and arrange specific equipment for use that is properly spaced at 6 feet apart. Consider workouts in groups/pods of individuals with the same group always working out together, including weight training, to limit exposure should someone become sick.

Chief Justice issues new NC Court emergency directives In a press release issued by the North Carolina Judicial Branch on Thursday, May 21, Chief Justice Cheri Beasley of the North Carolina Supreme Court issued new emergency orders about court operations across North Carolina. The orders extend some filing deadlines, postpone jury trials, and require in-person court operations to take place with some defined restrictions to ensure safety protocols like social distancing and routine cleaning take place. “Court is going to look different for a while. Dockets will be smaller. Cases will be heard online. We’re going to have to socially distance in the courthouse,” said Chief Justice Beasley. “North Carolinians are resilient and resourceful, and we approach our challenges with a spirit of cooperation and innovation that I know will carry us through the challenging days ahead.” Under the orders entered Thursday, some deadlines for filings and other required actions have been extended to July 31. • Filing deadlines for criminal matters are extended until July 31. • Filings due pursuant to statutes of limitation or repose are extended until July
31. • Filings and actions due in civil matters that had been previously extended are due June 1. The Chief Justice has also placed restrictions on in-person proceedings to avoid crowded courtrooms and allow for social distancing: • No session of court may be scheduled if it would result in the public being crowded into courtrooms or waiting in close proximity without social distancing. • Senior Resident Superior Court Judges are directed to have courtroom seating and all areas where lines form marked with sixfoot intervals. • They must also ensure that public areas of the courthouse are cleaned throughout the day and that hand sanitizer is provided at every entrance and exit. Local courts are required to have seating and waiting areas clearly marked in six-foot intervals, establish maximum occupancies for courtrooms, and ensure that hand sanitizer and cleaning services are provided. Many of these steps will require cooperation and support from county governments who own and manage the court facilities. The Chief Justice also ordered that no jury trials will be held until August while the court system works to identify alterna-
tives to allow those trials to be safely conducted. • Jury trials are postponed through at least the end of July. • Senior Resident Superior Court Judges are also directed to assess local court facilities to determine whether juries can be convened with social distancing. If not, they must secure alternate facilities for jury trials. The orders also include several measures to limit in-person contact between the public and the staff of local clerk of court offices, filings by mail are encouraged and clerks may require filings be dropped off rather than submitted face-to-face at a service counter. Access to public records must be provided, but clerks may require appointments and limit hours. To encourage filing by mail, a 5-day grace period will be provided for documents delivered by mail. • Encourage filings by mail • Grace period of 5 business days will be provided for filings submitted by mail • Clerks must accept filings and provide access to records during business hours • May use a secure, physical drop box for filings • May require appointments and limit hours for public access In addition, the Supreme
Court of North Carolina entered an order on May 14 that made changes to several rules in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. • Court calendars may be published with less advanced notice. • Attorneys may designate additional secured leave from court. • Judges will receive continuing education credit for online courses. Information about specific county operations is available on the court system’s website at NCcourts. gov. The public can use online tools on the website to check for upcoming court dates, sign up for court date reminders, and pay or dismiss traffic tickets. For a list of orders from the Chief Justice and the Supreme Court of North Carolina, please visit the continuously updated Coronavirus (COVID-19) announcement page. The public is encouraged to visit NCcourts.gov to find answers to frequently asked questions before calling the local courthouse. Announcements from local counties about changes to court operations can be found on the county page as well as the closings and advisories page. The public may also visit the Judicial Branch Facebook page and Twitter account to access information related to the coronavirus health concern.
Small Business Seminars – SUMMER SERIES Business Risk Management We have scheduled a special seminar on June 11 and encourage all business owners to attend. Small business owners need to learn the real power of Facebook ads as it has over 1.49 billion monthly users. With less than 3% of your customers seeing your post on Facebook today, it is more useful to view Facebook as a powerful paid advertising platform than a free social media site. With Facebook ads you can display your best content in front of key customers that have clearly self-identified themselves as good customers by their interest on Facebook. You can get started with Facebook ads with as little as a few dollars per ad. You may register for any of these seminars online at www.clevelandcc. edu. For more information or for assistance with registration, contact Steve Padgett: Phone 704-6694146 or email padgetts@ clevelandcc.edu.
The Small Business Center at Cleveland Community College is offering eight (8) FREE seminars this summer on Thursdays, 6:00-8:30pm. Depending on the Covid-19 situation, the sessions may be held in person at the LeGrand Center in Shelby or online using the ZOOM platform. “We want to continue giving all businesses and organizations in Cleveland County opportunities to improve their potential for success,” said Steve Padgett, Director. The summer schedule includes: • May 28 – Financing Your Small Business • June 4 – Non-Profit vs For-Profit: Regulatory Differences • June 11 – Facebook Paid Ads for Business Owners • June 18 – How to Write a Business Plan • June 25 – Basics of Bookkeeping • July 16 – How to Start a Business—Identifying the ABCs • July 23 – Insurance...

Artist’s conceptual drawing of the new Parker Building.
Photos provided
Conceptual rendering of the rear of the renovated building.
PARKER From Page 1 side entrance there, accessible by stairs. A new section was added at the rear of the building at some point, probably for storage or a perhaps rear window dis-
play. The addition also provided access to the basement. The new owner would like to see a restaurant occupy this building. The artist’s rendering shows Parker’s vision for the structure when all the work is done. Whatever business
leases this space, it will add another draw to downtown Kings Mountain. Upgrading these old buildings provides the catylist for change downtown and Kings Mountain developers are doing just that, one building at a time.
