Appalachian Gear Company ramps up production with new KM facility Appalachian Gear Company, an outdoor lifestyle company specializing in American-made performance apparel and gear, is proud to announce its expansion into a new manufacturing facility in Kings Mountain. The move allows the brand to significantly increase production of its award-winning All-Paca™ products, while creating jobs in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Over the past 30 years, Appalachian Gear Company’s founders watched apparel manufacturing leave the United States. Since getting started in Charlotte in 2018, App Gear Co has always manufactured 100% of its fabric in its own facility, with product assembly taking place at various factories across the Southeastern U.S. As demand grew for the brand’s unique performance Hoodies, Crews, accessories, and gear, it became clear it was time to find a larger space that could accommodate the pace of manufacturing needed to

to historic Kings Mountain, where they started their first-ever manufacturing op-
eration. By staying in North Carolina, App Gear Co is able to have better oversight of the manufacturing process, ensure the production of higher quality garments and gear, and guarantee employees have a safe working environment. “App Gear Co really started growing two years
ago as more people began to find out about us, and then COVID struck,” says John Gage, co-founder of Appalachian Gear Company. “Ironically, 2020 was the year that our brand’s public awareness exploded, and we really struggled to keep up with demand in the face of global supply chain issues
that impacted our flow of raw material from Peru. I know to a lot of folks, the decision to find a bigger, better space to grow our business in the midst of all that was unthinkable, but we just see it as staying true to the entrepreneurial spirit that helped us start the brand See FACILITY, Page 4A

When Mike Butler decided to open Butler’s Garage in 1995, little did he know that his son, Bryan, who was about to graduate college at UNC-Charlotte, would follow in his footsteps twenty-four years later. Mike started the business after taking early retirement from Winn-Dixie when the Kings Mountain store announced it was closing. He opened a onebay garage at 205 E. King Street and over the years, the business expanded to three-bays. “Opening a garage wasn’t such a far reach for my dad. His father, Claude ‘Smokie’ Butler, was a backyard mechanic who taught his kids mechanical See BUTLER, Page 4A
Library renovations now complete City of Kings Mountain adopts new Unified Development Ordinance By Loretta Cozart
During the last year, Mauney Memorial Library has undergone some much needed renovations, including a new roof, plasterwork, paint, window restoration, new storm windows, and
new flooring. The efforts taken by the city have returned the luster to this community landmark. One of the first projects was to restore the windows throughout the home, and there are more than forty of them. Each window had to be removed and taken offsite to clean, remove years of old paint, repaint, and See LIBRARY, Page 5A

tions for land use and development in the City of Kings Mountain and its Extra Territorial Jurisdiction. The new ordinance replaces the City of Kings
Mountain Zoning Ordinance, originally adopted in December of 1996, and the City of Kings Mountain Subdivision Ordinance, originally adopted in April of 1996, and all of the subsequent amendments. These ordinances had long served the community. With changing times, it was time
for the ordinances to changes as well. The need for a UDO came about as a result of a number of factors. In 2019, the North Carolina General Assembly adopted a complete reorganization of the state’s planning and development See ORDINANCE, Page 8A

■ OBITUARIES
Ervin Bolin KINGS MOUNTAIN, NC – Ervin J.V. Bolin, age 90, went to be with the Lord on July 16, 2021. He died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, at his home in Kings Mountain. Larger than life, J.V. (while these were just initials, he coined himself “James Valentino” in his Navy days) lived many places in North and South Carolina. Born in Smyrna, South Carolina on August 25, 1930, he was the oldest of Madison Monroe and Hester Hudson Bolin’s nine children. Though he moved frequently during his early childhood, Kings Mountain was home. He graduated high school in 1949 from Bethware and joined the Navy shortly afterwards. After enlisting in the Navy, he took a train across the country to San Diego, California for basic training. From there, he sailed on the U.S.S. J. E. Kyes (DD-787) to serve in the Korean War. He often reminisced of the experiences he had during this time. After returning from serving in the Navy, J.V. married his high school sweetheart, Florene Chapman (known and loved as “Rene”). They celebrated their 59th anniversary before Rene’s death on December 15, 2013. They had two boys: Dennis, the creative, and Danny, the athlete. After a short stint in Charlotte, J.V. and his family built a house (that is now filled to the brim with memories) on the farm where he spent his childhood. J.V. retired in 1990 after spending 40 years with Winn-Dixie. A grocery store man to the end, he always enjoyed perusing produce departments. Over the past year, he did this with the love and support of his former “price changer” and current daughter-in-law, Leslie Bolin. An avid farmer, he was proud of his Black Angus cows and summer garden. A rabid sports fan, he pulled for the Atlanta Braves (as well as every team that boasted one of his grandchildren as a player). A saved man, he was a life-long member and attendee of David Baptist Church. A storyteller, he loved sharing his past with any willing audience. A child at heart, J.V. loved traveling, music, and a good hound dog. As a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather he was proud of his family. J.V. is survived by his eight younger siblings: Max Bolin (and wife Joyce), Hazel Wilson, “Lib” Gault, Faye Brock, “Pat” Cover, “Becky” Dye, Joyce Shuford (and husband “Buzz”), and Bob Bolin (and wife Jean); his sons and their wives: Dennis Bolin and

The family wishes to thank the many friends and loved ones who called, visited, and loved J.V. over the past few years. especially those who kept in touch throughout the pandemic. The funeral will be held at David Baptist Church in Kings Mountain on Saturday, July 24, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Brian Taule officiating. Visitation will be before the funeral from 1:00 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. at the church. He will be interred at the David Baptist Church cemetery.

Never leave a child alone in Potato Project a car, not even for a minute needs your help In response to the latest hot weather, Kings Mountain Police Department has partnered with Safe Kids Cleveland County to host a Hot Car Awareness event. Using a large digital thermometer to display the temperature inside and outside a vehicle, Chief Lisa Proctor and Detective Sergeant Lance Hamrick demonstrate how temperatures can quickly climb to dangerous levels. The Kings Mountain Police Department used the display to show the difference in a car’s temperature one hour apart. The photos show the drastic change in a very short period. Last year, a total of 26 kids died in the North Carolina, related to being left in hot cars. Since 1990, 212 children have died across the US. As evidenced in the display, a vehicle parked outside with temperatures in the high 80s, can see temperatures rise inside the vehicle at 88.4 degrees to 133 degrees in one hour. At the two-hour mark, the car’s internal temperature reached 145 degrees. “The unfortunate thing is that these tragedies are completely avoidable,” said Jessica Crawford Safe Kids Coordinator for Cleveland County. “By taking simple steps, we can help one another prevent the tragedy of child heatstroke.” In the last 20 years,
By Doug Sharp
Safe Kids from all over the world have partners with agencies such as Kings Mountain Police Department to bring awareness and prevent deaths to children ages 0-18. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, children are more at risk of heatstroke as their body heat rises three to five times faster than an adult. On an 80-degree day, the inside of a closed car can, within minutes, exceed 100 degrees. Cracking a window does not help keep the inside of a car cool.

Awareness campaigns, such as Safe Kids N.C.’s “Look Before You Lock” campaign, along with hot car displays, help educate the public on the grave dangers of leaving a child in the car for just one minute. Detective Hamrick stated, “we feel it is our duty to not only protect our smallest citizens but to help prevent unnecessary injury and death when possible.” Please spread the word to never leave a child alone in a car not even for a minute. Safe Kids North Carolina reaches out to parents, caregivers, and children to prevent childhood injuries. For more information, visit www.ncsafekids.org. The display was moved to Patriots Park for the car show and concert last weekend to bring additional awareness and exposure to more people in other communities as well.
The Cleveland County Potato Project is asking for help from the community. Dry weather conditions have prevented the growth of tender young sweet potato slips. A three-acre plot has been plowed up and replanted. This site has totally missed all the rain that most of the county has enjoyed. Re-planting is an extra expense for the project, and they are asking for financial donations to offset this cost. Approximately $3,000 is needed for this purpose. We have been asked, “why bother?” The reason is simple; this is our most productive plot. For the past three years this one plot has produced over 40,000 pounds per year. When you consider that this will give you 120,000 servings, the cost is much cheaper than buying potatoes. Keep in mind, sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritional foods from the garden. When people ask if the senior citizens who lead this project are crazy, most would answer, “Of course.” But they may be motivated by the story a lady told as she was picking up a box of sweet potatoes. Seems she had been caring for three small grandchildren for a period of time and the only food they had was our sweet potatoes. “Over the course of the past 12 years you hear numerous stories like that, and it makes you thankful for having good food available at all times.

work; they had a garage on their property. Dad started buying equipment and pretty soon he was doing a lot of the pre-work with Kings Mountain Auto Sales, getting their cars ready to sell. They kept him really, really busy. His reputation just grew from there. He always had cars in the lot and had the reputation for hiring good mechanics,” Bryan said of his dad. After college, Bryan became a commercial relationship banker with a huge territory in western NC and worked in that field for 25-years. I did a lot of driving,” he recalls. “One day, dad came to me and said he was going to retire. Mom had retired and he was ready to do so, too. The more I thought about it, I thought maybe I could take the business, grow it, and have someone run it for me. My wife, Stephanie, was supportive of me and said we were in a good place in our lives to try and that I should go for it. When I asked dad about it, he said he thought that would be cool.” Two years later, Bryan and Stephanie bought a lot at 404 E. King Street, just down the block from the shop’s old location. “The rest is history. I disappeared from the banking industry and started doing this. I just wish I had done it 10-years earlier.” Mike now helps in the business. “I put dad on special projects. He’s my goto-guy for the motors and the bigger jobs that we get around here; I don’t think I’ve ever seen him happier. To be able to work with my dad now is really great, because I had been away from Kings Mountain for a long time.” Butler’s Tire and Auto Service currently has eightbays, with a mechanic working in each. They shop specializes in full-service work and are one of a few in town that do. “We do everything, from tires, to engines, to transmissions. Some places won’t do valve cover gaskets, but we do it all - including tires. We are a one-stop-shop,” Bryan said. “And we keep all the work in-house.” “We bought all-new

People who lower their cars can come here and to get alignments and things like that.” Bryan says he focuses on customer service, offering a 2-year warranty on most repairs. “We are a good old family business with a good reputation. If someone is unhappy about something, they can just come talk with me. I’ll be glad to have a conversation with them and make it right.” Bryan said, “Our reputation is something I want to continue to build upon. That’s why we have been for around so long.” When asked where he sees the business going, Bryan said, “I feel we are going to continue to grow. We’ve got two-acres here and have plenty of room if we want to expand. I am always looking for other ventures, like popular franchises that might be a hit here. I own the property next to me it has good road frontage on King Street. So, I keep my options open.” “But my first job is to make sure this place does really well. So far, it’s been really good. We are growing every month and that’s all you can ask for,” he said. “I am excited I am part of the future here. If

I’m going to do this, I’m going to do it right. I want everyone to come here and feel comfortable while they sit in the lobby. Customers can watch TV and enjoy a free water or coffee. If you have to get your car fixed, and you have to stay here, I want you to be comfortable. This is my vision built on my father’s reputation.” When asked about the 1948 Ford he drives around town, Bryan shared the story. “We moved back to Kings Mountain about a year ago and we were looking for a house with property. We came across the Herndon residence and went to see it. That truck was in the garage. So I asked, ‘Does the truck come with the house?’” It did, and Bryan didn’t have to do anything to the truck; he drives it as he found it. “All I did was put stickers on the side and put gas in it. That’s it. It is definitely a conversation starter.” Bryan Butler and wife Stefanie now live in Kings Mountain with their two boys, Ethan, 20, a junior at Virginia Tech, and Corbin, 9, who is in the fourth grade. One day, Bryan may have a similar conversation with his sons about taking over Butler’s Tire and Auto Service. But for now, he’s glad to be back home in Kings Mountain with his family carrying on the family tradition in a business his father started over 25 years ago.

Two chandeliers, which are period to homes of this age, Two-story columns on the front porch had to be repaired and were donated to the library. Photos by Loretta Cozart repainted as part of the renovation.
LIBRARY From Page 1A reglaze. It was a painstaking process, but worth the effort. Storm windows were also installed and are allowed under the house’s designation with the National Historic Register because the original windows are single-pane, and the storms will help protect them. The cost to restore the windows and add storms was approximately $75,000 - $80,000. Library Director Christina Martin explained the process, “All the windows were marked and each one removed. After the windows were restored, each window was returned to its original space. We learned that a small detail in each window indicated the wealth of Dr. J.G. Hord. The window company owner came to give us an estimate and he touched this little piece of gingerbread and asked, ‘Do you know what that means? It means they had money.’” The small pieces of gingerbread in each window were hand carved, which took time and added to the cost of the home. The house was built in a time when Kings Mountain had fewer than 3,000 people, and the majority of the homes in town were built by the mill at a cost of $1,200 or less. Yes, Kings Mountain did have its share of nicer homes at the time, but the majority were modest dwellings for millworkers and shopkeepers. Without records, it is unclear the exact cost to build the Hord Mansion, but from the home’s detail one can see that Dr. Hord was a wealthy man. Another project undertaken by the city was new flooring. The mansion’s original floors
are wood, which give and flex when walked upon. In years past, tile was installed over the wood, but it cracked due to flexing. Now the entire main floor of the original 1923 mansion has luxury vinyl plank flooring installed. It continues from the front door throughout the original structure. The house also had two additions, one in 1988 and the other in 2000. “Our plan is to extend this flooring to those areas when the budget allows to give the three areas a single cohesive look,” Martin said. Another touch to unify the facility is new paint. The original home has been painted a lovely blue/gray paint color and the trim repainted white. It adds a soothing mood to the space and encourages readers to relax and enjoy their time at the library. The front room to the right of the foyer is now a reading room. In years past, it housed the card catalogue and, later, four computers. Now seating once again invites readers to sit and read. Last spring, the roof was replaced. The original tiles had seen better days and water was leaking into the house, so much so that plaster on the ceilings and walls had to be replaced in several rooms upstairs after repairs were complete. The new roof is metal, made with a similar pattern and color to the original clay tiles. This roof should protect the structure for decades, if not longer. “We are getting away from paper signs here at the library. Using the Cricut machine that we have in our MakersSpace, we made signs in-house that gives Mauney Memorial Library a more polished look. We utilized the city’s new color scheme and that adds a nice touch, too,” she said. When asked about the ge-

Due to a leaky roof, the plaster failed and had to be redone. This is the parlor before renovation. nealogy collection, Martin replied, “We have the history and genealogy in the main collection. However, any items that we only have one of are housed in our archive room upstairs and visitors can request to see those files. We have filing cabinets filled with family histories and church histories upstairs to keep them safe.” Aside from the roof and windows, the front columns of the Hord Mansion were also repaired, due to cracks in the stucco. A pink substance was put on them as part of the repair process. “Several folks called us about that, and we reassured them it was only temporary,” Martin shared. Most visitors do not go up-
stairs in the library, but these rooms once housed a teacherage and apartments for a time. Now they serve as an office, storage, archive, and a break area. Over the years, the floors became worn, and the roof leaked allowing water to enter. The ceilings and walls have been replastered and the floors refinished. And city employees have taken an interest in the project. “Every light fixture up here period to the 1920s. Lights on either side of the hallway are cast. One is stamped 1914 and the other 1920. One of the guys in public works is an antiques collector and he found two crystal lights from a house built in 1920 and he gave them to us. He is a good friend of the library,” said Martin. The parlor, a smaller room sandwiched between what were once two bedrooms, sits behind the Juliette balcony seen from the front of the house. Before
the renovation it was a work room, with a copier and other office equipment stored there. After restoration, it has taken its place again as a parlor just outside the Librarian’s office. The room has been replastered and repainted, and the floors now restored. Martin shared, “When guests and dignitaries visit, as did city council last week, we welcome them in the parlor. It is the little jewel of this home. The transformation is just amazing and it is now a relaxing space.” “During the renovation, some molding was missing upstairs, so Darryl Dixon took a piece to Cleveland Lumber and they made us new molding to match,” Martin said. “I was really impressed with their work, I must say.” Future renovation plans for the library include replacing the shingles roofing on the additions with a metal roof also. We would also like to extend the luxury vinyl flooring to the additions too, to give better flow to the entire house. “When the question comes up if we are moving anytime soon, I tell people we aren’t going anywhere. This is where
we are going to be,” Martin says with a smile. While the library bears the name of Jacob S. Mauney, the Mauney’s never lived in this home. Dr. J.G. Hord built this home for his family in the early 1920s. It is believed to be the first building in town designed by an architect, but no plans exist, and the architect’s name is not known. Two years were required to build the house. After its completion in 1923, Mrs. Hord was known to have beautiful roses and flowers in formal gardens on the property. The Hord family was large and social, and 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 died three years after moving into the house. In 1947, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob S. Mauney decided to buy the Hord mansion and donate it to the city in memory of their parents as a home for the library. It was a fitting memorial to the couple who had been so actively involved in the education and betterment of Kings Mountain.

humanity. Providing us with the opportunity of salvation and eternal life, that which we do not deserve. But that is just like God’s love, stimulated by His character, not our virtue. Out of this love, God provides a home for those who open their hearts to receive His Son, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior. By confessing our sins to Him, we are assured of an eternal dwelling. The word “dwell” here in verse 6 means to reside or to settle down and be at home with. As David wrote this psalm as an old man, I believe he is saying that he never wants to step away from God. He had been down that road before and it had caused him great sorrow. Only through confession could his fellowship with God be restored. There is no better place to be in our lives than to be in relationship and fellowship with God. We

For some people, all of this may seem to be too good to be true. But it is true! In Psalm 23 (verse 6) David proclaims, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Why is God good? He is good because of His infinite love for us. God’s nature is to love—sacrificially, selfishly, extravagantly—beyond our wildest expectations. Never was this truth more magnificently portrayed as on the old rugged cross by His sinless Son dying on behalf of sinful
Wednesday, July 21, 2021 all have had times when we were out of step with God but thank God He is always willing, ready, and able to restore us to Himself. If you could ask God for one thing, what would you request? David tells us what he would ask. He longs to dwell in the house of God. He wants to move in with Him… forever! He doesn’t seek a temporary assignment, but rather a lifelong residence. While God’s home is something we don’t deserve, it is freely given through His Son who is also described in the New Testament as our “Good Shepherd.” Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11, NKJV). God is good and His goodness is seen throughout Scripture of how He cares for us in the here and now…through all the storms of life and when the toils of this life are over
we, through Christ, have an eternal dwelling. While we don’t deserve all of this goodness, we should be grateful for a loving, compassionate, and gracious heavenly Father who walks with us every day and knows our every need. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Amen!

■ LIFESTYLES Winners announced for
Real to Reel Film “A FRESH LOOK” SASI Festival is back Art Competition and Exhibit in-person at the Joy Theatre
“A Fresh Look” art exhibit and competition continues through July 30 at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain. Twenty-eight artists from around the region entered work to be judged for cash prizes. Artists were asked to show their most recent work taking a fresh look at the world around them or try a new medium or technique. The open theme allowed for a wide variety of expressions by the artists. Artists entered work in a variety of media: oil, acrylic and pastel paintings, photography, mixed media and collage. Judging the exhibit was Andrew Leventis, an Assistant Professor of Painting at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Andrew earned a BFA from the American Academy of Art in Chicago and an MFA from Goldsmiths College, University of London. Venues exhibiting his work include York Art Gallery, UK; the Venice Arsenale, Italy; the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, Korea; and Manifest Creative Research Gallery, Ohio. His work has been featured in art periodicals such as Aesthetica Magazine and New American Paintings. Examples of his work can be seen at www. andrewleventispainting. com and on Instagram @andrewleventisstudio. Mr. Leventis selected First, Second and Third Place awards along with three Merit Awards from Seventy-three works of art entered in the show. In addition to selecting the winning artwork, Mr. Leventis shared in a jurors statement his thought process in choosing the awards saying “In judging the show, I looked for unique perspectives, and I was particularly impressed with artists who portrayed adventurous subject matter. I often feel that as artists, we choose subjects we think others will find beautiful, but we forget that it is up to us to point out overlooked elements in the mundane that will resonate with the viewer. I try to remind myself that paint can make the object I choose to depict more interesting than it really is… The artists I selected for awards presented unpredictable subjects in ways that made me see them as beautiful, or they depicted subjects that were perhaps more familiar, but they made me reexamine them through means of wonderful craftsmanship and skill.” First place was awarded to Lori McAdams for, “At the Coffeeshop”. Mr. Leventis’ comments “Her scratchboard and ink process, along with her delicate handling of portraiture captivated me. There are many wonderful things

Also intriguing is the unexpected color on the man’s face- blues, violets, greens, and reds which Lori anticipates that the viewer’s eye will optically mix to read as shadow.

memorable way what might happen inside a coffee shop on any given day. Congratulations to Lori on her award and on her remarkable artwork.” Second place went to
Michael Phillips for “Fall Harvest”. Mr. Leventis says “This excellent oil painting impressed me with its subtle tonal variations in its regions of land and sky. Michael deftly handled the shades of phthalo greens and earth tones one sees in a fall landscape. Anyone who has tried their hand at painting a landscape knows how difficult it is to mix green paint convincingly, so that it reflects the greens that occur in nature. Congratulations to Michael on his excellent painting.” Choosing Alex Pietersen’s photograph, “Unhinged” for Third Place was, Mr. Leventis said, “based upon its portrayal of a dilapidated building exterior and collapsing door. The combination of new, organic growth covering the old is an evident theme of the work, as well as Alex’s thoughtful contrasts of texture, light, and space. Congratulations to Alex on his outstanding photograph.” Three merit awards were given to Patricia Pietersen for “Spooling” (photography), Mimi Irwin for “L’arch a Aurebeau” (acrylic painting), and Ron Shepard for “Misty Bay” (watercolor). The winning artwork with judge’s comments and the entire exhibit can be viewed online at www.SouthernArtsSociety.org or visit their galleries in person through July 30. Artwork in the exhibit is available for sale. Southern Arts Society (SASi) Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Ave. at the intersection of Piedmont and Battleground Avenues in the historic Southern Railway Depot. SASi offers a gift shop, ongoing art exhibitions and competitions, programs and classes in a variety of media for artists of all levels.

Railroad Ave. in Kings Mountain, July 2124. The screenings will begin at 7:00pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings plus the 10:00am Kids Fest and a 1:00pm Saturday matinee.

A VIP Pass ($50) which includes special seating in the balcony of Joy with comfy chairs and tables, food, and drink server, one complimentary drink per night, free popcorn throughout the festival is also available. “A feature that we are continuing this year, that we did last year due to the pandemic, is to share interviews from several filmmakers online,” says Noel T. Manning II, Real to Reel co-founder, and selection committee member. “These filmmakers will share thoughts on their craft, their film, and the impact of film festivals on independent cinema,” added Manning. These Q&A sessions are available on our YouTube channel, https:// www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cleveland+county+arts+council . The selection committee screened nearly 120 film submissions, from amateur and professional filmmakers, including animated shorts, live-action shorts, documentaries (shorts and feature-length),

ORDINANCE From Page 1A regulations. State standards from 1905 to present day were revised, consolidated, and clarified. The new Chapter 160D mandated that every city and county development regulation in the state to be updated by January 1, 2021. Due to the effects of Covid 19 a six-month extension was allowed, thus bringing the new deadline to July 1, 2021. The City of Kings Mountain UDO became effective on July 1, 2021 in compliance with the state law. The city planning staff worked with Kendig Keast Collaborative, a consulting firm known for their work in land use codes and specializing in performance zoning. Bret Keast, Principal, and Kelli McCormick, Senior Associate, worked with the city planning staff to evaluate the existing city ordinances and draft a new unified ordinance to carry the city into the future. A series of community meetings were held via Zoom
and in-person. The City Planning & Zoning Board hosted public input sessions, board workshops, and participated in joint workshops with city council. Edits and public hearings continued until the time the ordinance was adopted. One goal of the UDO process was to make the code more user friendly and understandable. The entire ordinance was moved to EnCode Plus software. The use of EnCode allows the ordinance to be easily accessed by any from the city’s web site. The code is now a searchable document and can easily lead users to the sections in which they have interest with a simple search by topic. Reference sections appear as interactive links for easy access to charts, tables, and diagrams. Definitions are also linked to text for clarity. Another feature of the software is its link to the official zoning map. Once updated, users can search by property address and easily access zoning information
as well as information linked to the Cleveland and Gaston County GIS databases. The map function will go live once the official zoning map is updated with the proper zoning terminology. The UDO replaced the old Euclidian zoning model that had been used since the 1990’s with a hybrid zoning classification system that merges aspects of Euclidian zoning with performance based zoning. In so doing, the zoning classifications were changed. An example of this type of update that effects residential properties is in the difference between the old Residential-10 zoning and the new Suburban Residential Classification. Residential 10 (R-10) zoning was converted to Suburban Residential (SR). The Suburban Residential (SR) classification now allows for three different development types based upon the desired character of a neighborhood. Standard lots (S) is most similar to the old R-10 designation. Cluster (C) and
Planned (PL) are additional designations in this classification that allow for higher density development upon compliance with additional development standards. This approach allows housing to be addressed with residential standards, allow for clustering, and bonus techniques compatible with resource protection and quality design. The UDO and the related Official Zoning Map are the first steps in moving the development and land uses forward. The City of Kings Mountain and surrounding ETJ are currently experiencing record growth and development requests. Ensuring that land use compatibility is maintained, and that growth is managed in a controlled fashion are critical to community development and sustainability. Development guidelines can often be perceived as difficult or overbearing. In reality, good development is always welcome in a community and encouraged. Development increases the tax base, allows for vari-

ety of housing options, new commerce, new jobs, and quality of life. The UDO can be accessed on the City of Kings Mountain website on the Community Planning & Economic Development page. The link is: http://online. encodeplus.com/regs/kingsmountain-nc-update/ The UDO and official zoning map did not make broad scale changes to zoning classifications. If your property was zoned residential prior to July 1, 2021 it is still zoned residential today. The name of the zone has changed. Some changes have been made in allowances and setbacks within zoning classifications. A table of uses is included in the UDO that outlines what uses are permitted in each of the zones. Some uses require special use permits and other uses are limited. Terms and definitions are included to provide clarity. Questions and concerns about land use and the UDO may be addressed to the planning office.

Zoning permits, rezoning applications, subdivision requests, address requests, and text amendments will be handled as in the past. Forms for such requests continue to be available online. In the near future, these forms will be moved to OpenGov, a new online format being implemented by city staff. At that time, all new applications will come through the online portal and be reviewed by staff. A new zoning map will be generated in conjunction with the comprehensive plan that is being written. The City of Kings Mountain had paused its work on the Vision 2040 Comprehensive Plan due to Covid 19 and the inability to host community input sessions in person. The planning staff has restarted these efforts and will work to complete the new plan by the end of 2021/early 2022. Based upon the findings of the comprehensive plan and analysis of existing land uses, economic forecasts, development needs of the community, and supply of undeveloped land, the zoning map will be updated to meet the needs of the future of the community. Public input is welcomed as this process moves forward.

KM’s Cannon in tonight’s East-West All-Star game Recent Kings Mountain High graduate Chance Cannon will be playing outside linebacker for the West team in tonight’s annual East-West All-Star football game at Greensboro’s Grimsley Stadium. Game time is 8 p.m. Except for last year when the game was cancelled because of COVID 19, the game has been played every July on the final day of the North Carolina High School Coaches Clinics. Many players from past games have gone on to make their marks in college and professional football. The first all-star football
game was played in 1949. Coach Bob Jamieson, Director of the NCCA, received the keys to the stadium from the contractor at 4 p.m. on the day of the game. Coach Jamieson then went onto the field at his school and coached the West team against the East’s Leon Brogden, Wilmington’s legendary coach. The football game has featured hundreds of future NCAA Division I stars and many have gone on to successful careers in the NFL. Over 3,400 North Carolina boys have had the chance to wear the royal of the East or the scarlet of the
West. Cannon was one of the key players for the Mountaineers in one of their most successful runs in their 99year history. During the spring 2021 season which was cut to seven regular season games because of the COVID epidemic, he and his teammates went undefeated through the Big South Conference and finished 8-1 overall. Players and coaches to represent KMHS in the East-West Game: 2021 – Chance Cannon 2020 – Quintin Davidson, James Ussery. 2019 – Kaylon Wade, Jeremiah Brown.
2018 – Jerdon Pressley. 2017 – Head coach Greg Lloyd 2017 – Darian McClain 2017 – Cooper Short 2011 – Cedric Thompson 1999 – Julius Curry 1999 – Frank Hopper 1988 – Coach Dennis Hicks 1986 – Edwin Sherer 1980 – Kevin Mack 1973- Mark George 1967 – Coach Bill Bates 1965 – Hubert McGinnis

Kings Mountain High School and the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club will continue to stream games this upcoming football season. The streaming began last year due to limited COVID attendance and was a huge success for people who could not watch the game because of health, age, etc. David Brinkley, president of the Touchdown Club, noted that the first several games were a test and after purchasing a new camera the quality was substantially better the rest of the year. “Overall, we had tremendous success in households watching the games,” he said. “We had upwards of 1,000 households watching every Friday night. With that success, our sponsors had broad exposure to advertise their business along with our supporters who also participated financially in this endeavor.” Because the streaming reached so many people, especially those who are unable
to personally attend games, Brinkley said the KMTD decided to continue the streaming this season and is asking for sponsors. Sponsorships for individuals and businesses are as follows: Title sponsor - $2,000 (two available), includes all packages listed below. Bug sponsor - $500 (no limit on availability), includes electronic logo display on a 15-second rotation. Coaches show - $1,000 (5 available) includes Bug, Tuesday night interviews after the previous game with Coach Lloyd and players. Pregame show - $1,000 (five available) includes Bug, Pregame interviews with Coach Lloyd. Halftime show - $1,000 (one available) includes Bug, recap of the first half and coverage of special events.

Oliver, Deputy Health Director, Cleveland County Health Department. “Our vaccine uptake locally is quite a bit behind the state of North Carolina, with 45% of our state’s population being fully vaccinated and 48% having received at least one dose.

According to NCDHHS, nearly 100% of all new COVID-19 cases are in people who are not vaccinated, with most new cases being among our young people due to lower vaccination rates in these age groups. “I think some parents are less inclined to get their children vaccinated because young people have a lower risk of severe illness from the virus,” Oliver said. “However, it is im-
portant for parents and others to understand that while the risk of severe illness in young people is lower, there is still a far greater risk of severe illness from the virus than there is from the vaccine. Over 300 children under the age of 18 have died from COVID19 in the US. Furthermore, even if you have a mild case of COVID-19, research shows you may still struggle with longterms ef

This bipartisan legislation will help home health care workers provide their patients with the best, highest-quality care in their own homes while reducing hos-
pital visits and health care costs.” In 2015, Senators Burr and Bennet introduced the Patient Access to Disposable Medical Technology Act to modernize Medicare coverage of durable medical equipment to include disposable technologies in home health care settings, which was later signed into law as part of a larger funding bill. Currently, CMS has not fully implemented this updated payment pathway, slowing treatment options for Medicare patients. The Better Wound Care at Home Act would put disposable durable medical equipment, such as the commonly used negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device, on a level playing field with non-dis-

Senators introduce bipartisan legislation to enhance access for innovative at-home treatments On July 15, Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) introduced the Better Wound Care at Home Act, bipartisan legislation to update payment rules at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to give Americans better access to cutting-edge technology and treatment options used in home health settings. “Outdated Medicare payment methods and billing rules shouldn’t limit treatment options for Americans,” said Senator Burr. “It’s important that seniors receiving care at home have access to the most up-to-date and innovative treatments. This legislation will ensure just that by modernizing CMS payment policies to make disposable wound treatments as readily

posable NPWT devices, giving Americans more options of treatment and better access to cutting-edge technologies. Specifically, this legislation would standardize the payment methodology nationally by applying a neutral area wage index for payments made to home health agencies (HHAs), clarify that payments to HHAs for disposable NPWT devices are to be made for the device itself, not accompanying professional services, and reduce administrative burdens by streamlining the billing forms. Representatives G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives on April 5, 2021.
Need a new driveway? Look out for asphalt paving scams If your driveway needs paving or repairs, don’t trust just anyone to do the job. The BBB has received numerous reports of unscrupulous contractors who trick homeowners with supposedly good deals. Homeowners end up with shoddy pavement -- or nothing at all -- to show for what they paid, and in some cases have lost over $8,000 in the process. How the Scam Works A contractor leaves a pamphlet or shows up at the door. They claim they’ve been doing work in the
area and just happened to notice the condition of your driveway or sidewalk. Since they're already working nearby, they can give you a discount. If the price is agreeable, they will then ask for a large percentage of the fee up front. There is some hesitancy if there is a question on the price or details about the business and where it's located. Once the transaction is complete, the scam contractor may disappear completely. The contact number or email may not work, quickly helping you realize that the contact information was a sham. If you protest, the contractor may use intimidation tactics, such as threatening a lawsuit, to See SCAM, Page 8B

Stretching Tips to Help Seniors Gain Flexibility and Reduce Pain Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer some good stretching tips for seniors who are staying home during the pandemic? I’ve gotten so stiff and achy in recent years that I have a hard time doing basic activities like bending over to tie my shoes. Stiff as a Board Dear Stiff, Of all possible exercises, stretching tends to be the most neglected, yet nothing is more vital to keeping an aging body limber and injury free. As we age, our muscles naturally lose their elasticity if you’re not active, which can make common dayto-day activities like reaching down to tie your shoes or looking over your shoulder to back your car out of the driveway, difficult. But the good news is, by incorporating some simple stretching exercises into your routine (at least three times a week) you can greatly improve your flexibility, as well as enhance your balance, posture and circula-
tion, relieve pain and stress, and prevent injuries. In addition, stretching is also important as a warm-up and cool-down for more vigorous activities, and leg stretching is an excellent way to prevent nighttime leg cramps too. Simple Stretches Stretching exercises should focus on the muscles in your neck, shoulders, arms, chest, back, hips, thighs, hamstrings and calves. If you’ve had hip or back surgery, you should talk to your doctor before doing lower-back flexibility exercises. While stretching, it’s very important to listen to your body. You want to stretch each muscle group to the point where the muscle feels tight. If it hurts, you’ve gone too far. Back off to the point where you don’t feel any pain, then hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Relax, then repeat it three to five times, trying to stretch a little farther, but don’t bounce. Bouncing greatly increases your chance of injury.
It’s also a good idea to warm up a little before you start stretching by walking in place and pumping your arms. And remember to breathe when you stretch. Also, keep in mind that muscles that have not been stretched in a while take time to regain their flexibility. So be patient and go slow. If you don’t have much experience with stretching, the National Institute on Aging offers a free guide that provides illustrated examples of flexibility exercises to help you get started. Go to order.nia.nih.gov, and type in “Exercise & Physical Activity: Your Everyday Guide from The National Institute on Aging” to view it online. There are also senior fitness programs, like SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com) and Silver&Fit (silverandfit.com), that are currently offering online flexibility and balance videos that can guide you through a series of stretching exercises you can do at home during the pandemic. There are also a wide variety of
stretching exercise DVDs or videos you could purchase at sites like CollageVideo.com or Amazon.com. Yoga and Tai Chi Another great way to improve your flexibility is through gentle yoga or chair yoga. In chair yoga you replace the yoga mat with a chair where most poses can be duplicated. This is much easier on tight, inflexible muscles. Tai chi and qi gong are also great exercise options for improving balance and flexibility. To get started, there are many DVDs and videos that offer instructions and routines for seniors you can do at home. The YMCA has also launched a new series of free, online health and fitness videos at YMCA360.org that includes gentle yoga, chair yoga and tai chi videos.

PPP Loan forgiveness deadline approaches By Loretta Cozart If your business received a PPP Loan this year, time is fast approaching to apply for loan forgiveness. Borrowers use local lenders to manage their loans, so the application for loan forgiveness must be submitted through those lenders. To complete the correct forms, borrowers should contact your PPP lender to complete the correct form. Your lender can provide you with either the SBA Form 3508, SBA Form 3508EZ, SBA Form 3508S, or a lender equivalent. The 3508EZ and the 3508S are shortened versions of the application for borrowers who meet specific requirements. Your lender
can provide further guidance on how to submit the application. Next, you need to compile your documentation which is comprised of payroll expenses and non-payroll expenses. You need bank statements, tax forms, and payment receipts to support your forgiveness application. Check with your lender for the exact documents they require. This task takes the most time to gather, so give yourself plenty of time to pull that documentation together. Complete your loan forgiveness application and
submit it to your lender with the required supporting documents and follow up with your lender to submit additional documentation as requested. Consult your lender for additional guidance and provide requested documentation in a timely manner. Continue to communicate with your lender throughout the process. If SBA undertakes a review of your loan, your lender will notify you of the review and the SBA loan review decision. You have the right to appeal certain SBA loan review decisions. Your lender is responsible for notifying you of the forgiveness amount paid by SBA and the date on which your first payment will be due, if applicable.
SCAM From Page 7B convince you to pay up. In other cases, the contractor work, once complete, is shoddy and unprofessional, but the full payment has been made. Reaching the company the contractor was allegedly representing is impossible, or another company was impostered in the process. In any of these scenarios, the chances of getting a refund or the work fixed are slim. How to Avoid Contractor Scams • Be wary of unsolicited offers. Most scams involving contractors begin when a random contractor tries to go out
Wednesday, July 21, 2021 of their way to offer an estimate that was never requested. • Research companies and contractors before you hire. Start with BBB. org. If the contractor has multiple negative reviews and complaints, don’t hire them. Often, a simple internet search will reveal companies or individuals that have been involved in fraudulent activities or provided unsatisfactory work to previous clients. • Get everything in writing. Ask for an estimate in writing before payment is even discussed. Don’t let a contractor start working on a project until a written, signed contract outlining start and complete dates, a detailed description of the work to be provided, material costs, payment arrangements, and warranty
information is provided. • Stagger payments. Most contractors will require a percentage of the total price up front, but it should never be the full price before the work has begun. Instead, make an agreement to stagger payments, so work can be inspected at various stages of the project. • Use safe payment methods. Paying with a credit card provides some peace of mind, since the credit card company will help you if the company is fraudulent. If you use a check, write them out to a company, not an individual. Paying cash or using an electronic wallet app is risky, since there is no way to stop the payment or get cash back if anything goes wrong.
