Unified Development Ordinance approved and other business by City Council By Loretta Cozart After months of work involving city staff and consultants, Kings Mountain’s new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) has been approved. The new zoning ordinance replaces former zoning used by the city. All cities within the state had to develop and implement a new UDO that had to be implemented July 1. The motion to adopt was made by Councilman Allen and the vote was unanimous. Architect Can Fleiger spoke against approval of the UDO saying he was doing so reluctantly. “I favor UDO’s that support neighborhoods and encourage neighborhoods to grow.” His concerns were regarding the term ‘detached residential’ and how that might impact single family housing in Kings Mountain. Prior to the vote on the UDO, Mayor Neisler said, “I want to thank the folks in our Planning and Development team and consultant Kelly McCormick. You guys
have really been working tirelessly, specifically Kimberly, and I think we’ve got a really great plan going forward. Now, is it going to be perfect? If you think this is going to be perfect, you are going to be terribly wrong and terribly disappointed, because it is going to need to be tweaked. The comprehensive plan will follow this, and we’ll be working on that until the end of the year.” In councilman’s remarks, Councilman Keith Miller made a public apology saying, “Thursday night we had a UDO meeting, and we had some passionate conversations. In the course of that passion, I think I was discourteous to Councilman Allen, Ron Humphries, and our consultant Kelly. I apologize for my intemperance, and I apologize to this body.” City Manager Marilyn Sellers reported on various projects in town: • The Meadowbrook waterline project should be complete with paving this week.

Catawba Nation and government leaders celebrate opening of Catawba Two Kings Casino The Catawba Two Kings Casino pre-launch facility in Kings Mountain opened to the public at noon on July 1, after Catawba Nation Chief Bill Harris cut a ceremonial ribbon with tribal, local, and state government leaders. The 500-slot temporary facility was built in only four months using prefabricated modular structures on part of a 17-acre site just off Interstate 85, about 35 miles west
of Charlotte. The facility, which will be open 24 hours daily, is providing an initial opportunity for patrons in the Charlotte region and beyond to game with limited food and beverage services and other guest amenities. For the Catawba Nation, July 1 opening represented the culmination of three decades seeking to finally benefit from the federal service area of six North Carolina
counties, including Cleveland County, that it was assigned by Congress in 1993 to recognize the tribe’s aboriginal and historical ties to the state. “Catawba Two Kings Casino represents the righting of a historical wrong for the Catawba Nation,” Chief Harris said. “But it is also so much more. It represents a prosperous future and renewed kinship between the Catawba Nation and the many com-
munities that now occupy Catawba ancestral lands, including Kings Mountain, Cleveland County, and the State of North Carolina. “For many of us, it represents a bright future – a future with more jobs and educational opportunities. We are thankful for the relationships that have been created in each community, for our partnerships with Delaware See CASINO, Page 4A

Gaston County Police charge man with possession of child pornography Gaston County Police have charged Andrew David McCullough, age 39, of 703 E. Main St. Dallas, NC with two felony counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a child, two felony counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a child, and one felony count of solicitation of a child by computer/electronic device to commit an unlawful sex act. The charges stem from a search warrant executed by Gaston County Police, with the assistance of Homeland Security Investigations and the Dallas Police Department. The search came as a result of a cybercrime tip received from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC). The tip involved the solicitation/enticement of a minor over the Internet using Facebook Messenger. During the ensuing investigation, a juvenile victim was identified, which led to the County Police obtaining a search warrant for the home of Andrew McCullough. During the search, County Police detectives seized electronic storage devices belonging to McCullough. Forensic examinations were performed on the devices, which led to the discovery of images and
in the Gaston County Jail, on a $250,000 secured bond. The investigation continues and anyone with information is asked to contact Det.
R.L. Smith at 704-866-3320 or Crimestoppers at 704861-8000. There is no further information available at this time.

Chief Harris encourages the community to work together to build a future By Loretta Cozart In an emotional speech during the ribbon cutting at Catawba Two Kings Casino on July 1, Chief Bill Harris spoke of the shared history of the of people of this area with the Catawba Nation. He also spoke of the Catawba Nation’s role in defeating the British alongside the other patriots at Kings Mountain. “It has been a long time coming to get us here. But when you look at us getting here, it comes down to, ‘How did we get here?’” “It started out with a community having conversations with a nation and realizing we have a lot in common. We share a past, and it was time to come back and open the past back up.” “Today it is about working together. But it is also about building a future. And that is
CHIEF BILL HARRIS going to take all of us to make that happen. Recognizing that each of us brings something to the table is what everybody has to remember.” “First and foremost, it isn’t about Catawba, it is about people, and people sharing.” “I’d like to say on behalf of the Catawba Nation, I thank all of the dignitaries here today,
to acknowledge each of you, and the willingness to right an historical wrong for your native sons and daughters, and to catch the vision to rebuild our combined communities, economically and socially. We would not be here today celebrating the reunion of friendship dating back 250 years.” “Two-hundred forty-five
years ago this week, on the 4th of July, 1776, Congress wrote, ‘The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.’” “In my thoughts, those are the words that the Catawba leaders heard in that Declaration of 1776. And with that Declaration, they recognized the fight for freedom. And they fought side-by-side with the patriots in this war for Independence, even though they
were fighting against a former ally.” “In the Battle of Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780, which is considered a major turning point of the War of Independence, (the) Catawba were there fighting side-byside, shedding their blood. With that, I’d like to share the words of my grandfather Peter Harris. He spoke these words after there was a new nation.” “He wrote, ‘I am one of the lingering survivors of an almost extinguished race. Our graves will soon be our only habitation. I am one of the few stalks which still remain in the field after the tempest of the Revolution has passed. I fought the British for your sake. The British have disappeared. But, nor have I gained. I pursued the deer for sustenance. The deer are disappearing, and I must starve. God ordained me to be in the
forest and my ambition is to be within its shade. But the strength of my arms decays, and my foot fails me in the chase. The hand which fought the British for your liberties is now open for your relief. In my youth, I bled in that battle that you might be independent. Let not my heart in my old age bleed for the want of your commiseration. May this cry coming from the grave, awake in America’s heart some sense of justice.’” “In my heart,” Chief Harris said, “I believe the words of my grandfather are addressed here today. For with this celebrated day, his children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children have successfully awakened America’s heart to a sense of justice. May this day bring peace to the warrior’s heart of Peter Harris, my grandfather.”

CASINO From Page 1A North and SkyBoat Gaming, and for the invaluable leadership that came from local officials in making this project a reality,” Harris said. Harris was joined at the ribbon cutting by Catawba Assistant Chief Jason Harris, Catawba Council members and Catawba Gaming Commission officials, state and local government officials and representatives of Delaware North, the Catawba’s consultant on the casino project, and SkyBoat Gaming, its developer. “What an exciting day it is to finally get this entertainment complex open,” Kings Mountain Mayor Scott Neisler said. “It brings so many positive aspects to our community -- job creation, new housing opportunities, support for the Catawba Nation, and a significant economic
impact to our community for years to come.” About 250 people, including a significant number of Catawba Nation members, are employed at the pre-launch facility. It also created construction jobs in the region, with more to come when construction begins on an introductory phase of the $273 million full casino resort. “This new entertainment facility is another step in creating jobs and economic benefits by making Cleveland County a destination for people throughout the Charlotte region and beyond," Cleveland County Commissioner Johnny Hutchins said. “We thank the Catawba Nation and its partners for seeing this through and look forward to the casino resort’s continued development.” Construction on the introductory phase – which will be part of the permanent casino and feature an additional 1,300 slot machines, restaurants, and other ame-
nities – is expected to begin by year’s end and will take about a year to complete. The full casino resort project is expected to create 2,600 permanent jobs at full buildout and thousands of construction jobs in the region. “Delaware North is incredibly proud of our partnership with the Catawba Nation,” said Lou Jacobs, CEO of Delaware North, the project consultant. “Two Kings will be a world-class destination for hospitality and entertainment, as well as an enduring driver of economic opportunity for the region. We are grateful to everyone in Kings Mountain, Cleveland County and the state of North Carolina who helped to make today’s ribbon cutting possible.” The Catawba Nation’s Tribal-State Compact with the State of North Carolina will allow the state to share in revenues generated by the new casino.

this year allows the Catawba to conduct Class III gaming, including operating slot machines and table games. In March 2020, the U.S. Department of the Interior, following a thorough, yearslong review, took 17 acres of land into trust status in Cleveland County, North Carolina, for the Catawba Nation. The action recognized the Catawba Nation’s historical and ancestral ties to its aboriginal lands throughout North Carolina, as evidenced by names such as Catawba County and Catawba College, as well as in the six counties, including Cleveland County, specifically identified by Congress as part of the Catawba’s service area. The compact with North Carolina acknowledges this connection to North Carolina as well. In addition to creating revenue for the State of North Carolina, the casino will help support an education fund that will benefit environmental conservation,

Put NC Back to Work Act vetoed by Gov. Cooper
Elizabeth Harris, Tribal Administrator of the Catawba Nation
Mayor Neisler welcomes the Catawba Nation and speaks of the project’s seven year history.
Media and dignitaries converge after ceremony concludes.
On a Friday afternoon ahead of the Fourth of July weekend, Governor Cooper vetoed SB 116, the Gov. Cooper "Put North Carolina Back to Work Act." Governor Cooper vetoed legislation that passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. SB 116 would have made unemployment benefits non-taxable income and withdrawn our state from the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation Agreement (FPUC.) The bill would have also used $250 million in the American Rescue Plan Act money to subsidize childcare for qualifying children. Governor Cooper made the following statement on SB 116, "Unemployment is declining with more people getting vaccinated and into the workforce as North Carolina has strengthened work search requirements for those receiving benefits. The federal help that this bill cuts off will only last a few more weeks and it supplements North Carolina’s state benefits, which are among the stingiest in the country. Prematurely stopping these benefits hurts our state by sending back money that could be injected into our economy with people using it for things like food and rent. I support strong efforts to make more quality childcare available and to provide businesses with funds for hiring bonuses and the bill falls short on both of these." Representative Jason Saine said, "Unfortunately the governor is short-sighted in his veto. We really need to get this economy back to full strength and providing childcare for those who need it to get back to work is a priority of the house."

I don’t think the solution is to However, one of our greatest throw in the towel and start over. threats is the discord our nation Let us build upon the foundation
that all people are created equal and all people are loved by God and so should we love all people. As a nation we are and have been on a journey. Let us stand up for the basic principles upon which this nation was founded. I, for one, don’t find anything wrong with being a patriot. I respect our national flag of red, white, and blue. We would not be experiencing the freedom we have today had it not been for brave patriots who fought and died that we, today, enjoy the liberties we have. I am still filled with emotion every time I sing ‘America, the beautiful” or “God Bless America.” We need to be thankful that we live in America. We need a renewed sense of gratitude. Our nation was conceived in the noble hearts of courageous, righteous men and women. She was born in the throes of holy prayer at Plymouth Rock by men and women of strong faith who held
the highest ideals found in the word of God. America today still stands as a fortress of freedom, loved by all free men, respected by the liberty-loving peoples of the earth, and feared by the enemies of God and human liberty. It’s quite apparent that more people want to come to America than any other place on earth. Why? Because America is, despite what many are saying today, is a land of opportunity for those who desire to have a better life and are willing to work hard to achieve it. Many of you, like myself, know this from personal experience. Anything worth having is worth working for. We must continue working together to make America an even better place. I, for one, stand up for my country… “My country ‘tis of thee, sweet of liberty, of thee I sing…” Now, while patriotism and
thanksgiving are so needed today, our greatest need is a more noble and sincere faith in God. I’m reminded of the words found in Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” What we are as a nation we owe to our underlying faith in God. We see this faith with the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock praying on their knees. We see it with General George Washington at Valley Forge praying for guidance and strength in the crisis of battle. We see it with President Lincoln calling the country to national repentance in the midst of civil war. Time and time again, we have seen our national leaders and spiritual leaders praying for strength in time of crisis. We need to be praying to God today because of the numer-
ous crises we are experiencing as a nation. We need the omnipotent, benevolent hand of God to reset the spiritual life of this nation. We need to take seriously our nation’s motto: “In God We Trust.” Back in May we observed the National Day of Prayer. Every day needs to be a national day of prayer. This means we all need to be on our knees and praying to God to heal our land and search our hearts for any sin that we need to confess to Him and then repent. This means we must each take on a personal responsibility to pray for forgiveness and self-renewal and to love God, to love this nation, and to love one another. When we do these things, God’s blessings will flow! Quoting again from the prophet Jeremiah: “….The Lord lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him they shall glory.” (Jeremiah 4:2).

NPS shares photo of battleground centennial celebration By Loretta Cozart Each week, Kings Mountain National Military Park posts various items of interest. Last week they posted a story about the dedication of the Centennial Marker located on the southwest portion of the battleground plateau that was dedicated in 1880. Here is what they posted. The act of constructing stone reminders of past deeds is a practice that can be traced back into Ancient History. Monuments help us remember a person and their deeds long after that person has left us and serve as visual aids in retelling their stories. Follow along with us as we examine some of
the monuments placed on Kings Mountain National Military Park with #MonumentalMondays! On October 5, 1880, a commemoration began marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain. The nation the Patriot soldiers had fought and died to create was now 100 years old, and the ensuing three days were a mixture of commemoration and celebration. Crowds gathered on the rocky ridgeline that was once a battlefield and shared the history as they listened to keynote speakers. The central event of this event was the unveiling of a new monument, the “Centennial Monument”
designed and paid for by the Kings Mountain Centennial Association. The resulting marker began with a base 18 feet square, rising in 5 pyramid steps to a “foursided, grey granite shaft.” Set into this granite were four marble slabs, each inscribed with an element of the battles history: one describing the battle, another explaining the significance of the fight in the American Revolution, and the other two dedicated to the Patriots who fought and died on those hillsides. Overall, the new monument measured 28 feet in the air, a welcome culminating addition to the efforts of preserving and remembering the Battle of Kings Mountain.

This is an old black and white photo of the 1880 commemoration at the battlefield. In the middle of the image is a large mass of people, a sea of wide brimmed hats and more stylish caps, tightly gathered together to hear the historical remarks. Beyond the crowd, a few scattered trees dot the hillsides, and other small groups of people gather in conversation or making their way towards the large crowd. The foreground shows four ladies and one man, sitting possibly on a fallen log or large rocks that can be seen dotting the surrounding clearing. The ladies wear dark jackets with bright hats decorated with flowers and ribbons. The man is wearing a dark suit and fedora hat, holding in one hand what appears to be a collapsed umbrella, as he looks back towards the camera. His is the only face that can be fairly clearly seen, all the rest blurred from movement or turned away facing the crowd. Photo courtesy NPS

• The city received DOT hydraulic calculations, so the city is close to meeting all the DOT requirements. The stormwater calculations are actually better with the streetscape. As soon as the city gets DOT approvals the city will go out for bids on the project. The contracts will set the schedule and the city hopes for completion in the fall, depending upon delivery of materials. Wi-Fi is being installed in the downtown area. During the regular meeting, Councilwoman Annie Thombs made a motion to approve a Developer Agreement to construct a 300,000 square foot shell building and provide financial incentives for PROJECT JOE (Equus Partners). Councilman Butler was absent from the room, but all other council members approved. Councilman Allen made a motion to adopt an ordinance amending the zoning map of the City of Kings Mountain, NC to rezone property located in the City of Kings Mountain at 1050 York Road, Highway 161. Property being further known as Parcel Numbers 12771 and 63398 and consisting of 0.73 acres and 7.16 acres, totaling 7.89 acres, from Heavy Industrial (HI) to Light Industrial (LI) – Case No. Z-6-5-21.

dinance approving the Sandee Run Subdivision, Phase I Preliminary Plan – Case No. MJS-17-5-21 was made by Councilman Hawkins. The vote was unanimous. Council discussed a motion to authorize the Mayor to execute into an agreement for an easement with Albemarle for a 30-ft. wide sewer right of way. Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks explained, “What we are looking to do is ask the mayor to execute. We are in a time crunch. At the end of Tin Mine Road there was 17-acres of land that the city purchased. Adjoining that acreage, the north side of Rockwood Lithium the was land that we did not purchase. There is a sliver of land that Rutherford Electric has an easement that we are requesting to obtain so we can continue to bring the sewer through that area down through the Hagen property and over to Exit 5 for future development. There would be no cost to the city to do this.” Councilman Rhodes made the motion to authorize the mayor to execute the easement agreement and the vote was unanimous. This 17.11 acre tract was once owned by the Hagen family but was sold by the city in an upset bid process last year to E5 Holdings. In the consent agenda, city council unanimously approved the following items: Authorize the City Manager to sign any additional Budget Amendments relating to end of the year closeout of the 20202021 budget in order to ensure statutory compliance for the FY ending on June 30, 2021 (Copies of the Budget Amendments will be available for your review). Listed below are three budget amendments which require Council approval:
• Budget amendment in the amount of $250,000 to budget additional funds to be transferred to the Workers Compensation Internal Service Fund due to several significant claims that continue to require funding and to increase/replenish fund balance in this account.

Council approval is required due to the fact that we are transferring monies between departments/functions. • Budget amendment in the amount of $570,000 to budget for stop loss revenues received through 5/31/2021. This represents funds paid to the City by our insurance company for amounts exceeding our per person maximum.

Trina Hamrick, leading scorer on KMHS’s championship 1983 girls basketball team, now a successful businesswoman in Kings Mountain and Charlotte.
Trina Hamrick’s parents look on as their daughter accepts the game ball from head coach Nancy Scoggins after Trina scored her 1,000th career point in a game against East Rutherford in 1983 at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium.
Lady Mountaineer basketball star Trina Hamrick to be inducted into Kings Mountain Hall of Fame Trina Hamrick had no intentions of playing basketball when she entered Kings Mountain Junior High School in 1980. But seeing how tall she was, coaches Candy Albergine and Becky Summit took an immediate interest in her. “They were my P.E. teachers and asked me to come out for the basketball team,” Hamrick recalled. “I went out not so much for the fun of playing, I just wanted to go to the games. I had no clue I would ever be successful with it. I couldn’t even do a lay-up. But they worked with me and I ended up really loving the game. They were excellent coaches.” Hamrick was so successful in basketball, she is the third-leading scorer in KMHS history and her 1,160 points came in just three years as the high school back then was 10th through 12th grades. Her career point total is third best in school history behind Shonda Cole’s 1,326 and Tameeka Anderson’s 1,235 and they were four-year varsity players. “At first, I didn’t like basketball,” Hamrick recalled recently while taking a break in her hair salon in Kings Mountain. “Coach Albergine and Coach Summitt made us run suicides ‘til it just tired us out. But, after they worked with me and saw that I could play the game I fell in love with it. They’d make us run suicides if we missed a foul shot or lay-up, and it paid off.” Hamrick was an instant success at KMHS where she played for David Brinkley and Nancy Scoggins.
Hamrick and her teammates led Scoggins’ 1983 team to the Southwestern Conference championship, the school’s first in the “modern” era. She averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds per game. “Nancy Scoggins was a really, really good coach,” Hamrick recalled. “She made us do a lot of pushups but it paid off because we won the conference. We had some awesome coaches in David Brinkley and Nancy Scoggins.” The ’83 team finished with a 22-5 record, one of the school’s best-ever in girls basketball. She was named the Conference Player of the Year and was KM’s first female basketball player selected for the prestigious North Carolina East-West All-Star game. She scored 70 points in three games in the SWC tournament and had a season high 31 points in a Christmas tournament win over West Mecklenburg. But, probably her most memorable moment was when the Lady Mountaineers’ game with East Rutherford was stopped after she scored her 1,000th career point and Scoggins presented her with the game ball. The team had a big party afterward. “When they stopped the game I had no idea what they were doing,” she noted. “I saw my mom and dad in the gym and wondered what was going on. Then they announced it and gave me the game ball, and I just thought ‘wow, this started as fun and ended a blessing.’” Hamrick had numerous offers from colleges, but she loved cosmetology and
that was her life’s dream. It has continued to be for years as she owns a beauty salon in downtown Kings Mountain and is a teacher and consultant for a beauty college in Charlotte. “I knew that’s what I wanted to do and it has given me a good life,” she said. “I took cosmetology three hours a day in high school under the late Vivian Whitworth; now I’m walking in my calling.” Basketball’s still in her blood, but as a fan watching her granddaughters play in Gaston County. “My memories of high school are still there, though,” she said. “Crest and Shelby were always our big rivals. It felt like when it came to Shelby we got intimidated. Shelby had some bullies. They had three on me elbowing me all night. That was the first game I ever cursed. Jimmy Curry was in the stands and he told me afterward, ‘Trina, you cursed.’ I’ve never been one to curse but they were bullies and I got intimidated.” She credited Mrs. Whitworth, her coaches, and teachers Eugene Bumgardner and Steve Baker for encouraging her. Hamrick said except for some recreation league softball, she hasn’t actively participated in sports since high school. “I worked two jobs for 11 years, at my shop and in cosmetology education in Charlotte,” she noted. “Now I’m a career planning specialist and plan to move to Belmont soon to be closer to my work. “Life has been good to me,” she said. “COVID came along and I had dou-
Trina Hamrick was also an All-Southwestern 3A Conference volleyball player for the Lady Mountaineers. ble pneumonia and was in ICU for five days and in the hospital for 10. It was a sad situation. The doctors didn’t think I would make it, but God…” After that, Hamrick said she had to re-think her life. “I sold my home in
Grover and got rid of some responsibilities I didn’t need,” she said. “I just wanted life, peace, happiness and to be free. God has given that to me. I am in a good place.” She said being selected unanimously for the Hall
of Fame is a blessing. “I want to thank everybody that believed in me,” she said. “I greatly appreciate this honor. It is a great feeling to be thought of in that manner. I am ecstatic.

$3 Million in grants available to NC minority owned small businesses from Wells Fargo Wells Fargo July 1 announced $3 million in grants to Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to help underserved small businesses in rural and Southern Appalachian communities manage the economic effects of COVID-19. Wells Fargo has selected Appalachian Community Capital Development (ACC), Carolina Small
Business Development Fund (CSBDF) and Natural Capital Investment Fund (NCIFund) to join the Open for Business Fund, a nationwide small business recovery effort. The funding will help increase access to capital with low rate
loans for minority-owned businesses in rural communities across North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and, West Virginia. The Open for Business Fund is a roughly $420 million small business recovery effort across the U.S. to help entrepreneurs recover and rebuild. The initiative focuses on three key areas: increas-
ing access to capital through CDFIs, technical assistance, and long-term recovery and resiliency programs. “The Open for Business Fund enlists the expertise of organizations like ACC, Carolina Small Business Development Fund and NCIFund to urgently assist small business owners with capital and technical assistance so they
can preserve local jobs in some of the most negatively impacted communities,” said Juan Austin, Community Relations senior manager for Wells Fargo. “By working with these organizations and other CDFIs, we can ensure that local minority-owned small businesses receive the resources they need to keep their businesses open.”
Funding four Black-led CDFIs across the Southeast The Open for Business Fund grant to Appalachian Community Capital Development Foundation, a CDFI intermediary with more than 20 members serving Appalachia, will support four Black-led CDFIs. Piedmont Business Capita l in North See GRANTS, Page 5B

Governor signs executive order:
Page Postsecondary appointed DA student-athletes can in Gaston Co. now be compensated District 38 On Friday, Governor Roy Cooper signed an Executive Order establishing rules for how student-athletes enrolled in a postsecondary educational institution in North Carolina can earn compensation or obtain representation, for use of their name, image and likeness while enrolled at the institution. These rules will set a standard for individual institutions to use as they formalize their own policies and procedures. Governor Cooper intends to work with the legislature on potential legislation to supplement this Executive Order. “This order ensures that North Carolina has rules in place to let collegiate student-athletes earn compensation from their name, image and likeness. Treating these athletes fairly and uniformly will help our state remain a competitive and desirable place to get educated and compete,” said Governor Cooper. On July 1, the National
Deadline: Friday at 12:00 Noon
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)'s new rules took effect, allowing student-athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness, following the enactment of state laws across the country and the US Supreme Court ruling finding that the NCAA’s restriction of certain benefits for student-athletes violated antitrust laws. The NCAA says these rules will be in place until Congress passes federal legislation setting a uniform standard for name, image, and likeness compensation. At least twenty-five states have enacted laws or issued executive orders allowing for student-athletes to receive compensation for their name, image, and likeness, with as many as ten laws and executive orders taking effect yesterday. Under the Order, compensation for a student’s name, image and likeness will not affect a student-athlete’s scholarship eligibility.
Governor Roy Cooper has appointed Travis Page to serve as District Attorney in Prosecutorial District 38, serving Gaston County. He will fill the seat to be vacated by the Honorable Locke Bell who is retiring at the end of this month. “Travis is an experienced attorney with comprehensive knowledge of the workings of the criminal justice system and how to keep making it better,” said Gov. Cooper. “I’m confident that he will provide steady leadership for the Gaston County community.” Travis Page is a Partner at Arthurs & Foltz, LLP. Previously, he was an Adjunct Professor at Cleveland Community College and an Assistant District Attorney for Gaston and Wake counties. He earned his Bachelor of Science at Appalachian State University and his Juris Doctor at the University of North Carolina School of Law.

Gosey named as new Athletic Director for Pinnacle Classical Academy Brandon Gosey, an educator and coach with 14 years of experience in the Cleveland County and Rutherford County Schools, has been named Pinnacle Classical Academy’s Athletic Director. A graduate of Western Carolina University, Gosey has worked as head coach of East Rutherford High School’s varsity cross country and track teams and Coordinator of Isothermal Community College’s Adult High School. Since 2014, he has served as an elected member of the Rutherford County Board of Education. Gov. Patrick McCrory appointed Gosey to the Southern Regional Education Board, and House Speaker Tim Moore named him to the Opioid Sentencing Reform Task
BRANDON GOSEY Force. Gosey is currently a member of the Disciplinary Hearing Commission of the North Carolina State Bar. “We are thrilled that Brandon Gosey has joined the staff of Pinnacle Classical Academy,” said Dr. Shelly Bullard, the school’s headmaster. “He has an exceptionally rich and varied background in coaching, teaching, leadership, and community service.” “Research shows that
exercise leads to improved motor skills, better thinking and problem-solving abilities, stronger attention skills and improved learning,” said Gosey. “As the newly hired Athletic Director, I am excited to bring a holistic approach to learning that includes both the mind and the body.” “Pinnacle Classical Academy offers numerous opportunities for students to engage in physical activity and healthy competition,” Gosey added. “It is my desire to work closely with our coaches, administrators, families, and student body to provide opportunities for all students to engage in athletic opportunities that will improve their physical fitness, mental clarity, sportsmanship, and academic success.”

Video Calling Solutions for Tech-Challenged Seniors network – home Wi-Fi is not required.
Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some simple devices that can help tech-challenged seniors with video calls? My 80-year-old mother has been isolating herself for months now in fear of the coronavirus and I haven’t been able to see her faceto-face in quite a while. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Video chatting is a great way to stay connected and keep tabs on an elder parent when you can’t be there, but it’s even more important now during this pandemic as many isolated seniors are also suffering from chronic loneliness. To help connect you and your mom virtually, there are various products on the market that offer simple video calling for seniors who have limited ability or experience with technology. Here are four devices to consider. GrandPad: This is a top option for simple video calling, and much more. The GrandPad is an 8-inch tablet specifically designed for seniors, ages 75 and older. It comes with a stylus, a charging cradle and 4G LTE built-in so it works anywhere within the Consumer Cellular
Ready to go right out of the box, GrandPad provides a simplified menu of big icons and large text for only essential features, providing clutter-free, onetouch access to make and receive video calls, send voice emails, view photos and videos, listen to personalized music, check the weather, play games, browse the Internet and more. A GrandPad tablet costs $250 plus $40 monthly service fee and is sold through Consumer Cellular at GrandPad.net or call 888-545-1425. Amazon’s Echo Show: With its built-in camera and screen, the voice-command Echo Show also provides a simple way to have face-to-face chats with your mom, but she’ll need home Wi-Fi installed. Echo Shows, which come in three screen sizes – 5-inch ($90), 8-inch ($130) and 10-inch ($230) – will let your mom make and receive video calls to those who have their own device, or who have the Alexa app installed on their smartphone or tablet. Once you set up her contacts, to make
a call your mom could simply say, “Alexa, call my daughter” And when you call her, she would ask Alexa to answer the call (or ignore it). There’s also a feature called “drop-in” that would let you video call your mom’s device anytime without her having to answer it.
Home Wi-Fi is also required.
Available at Amazon.com, the Echo Show also offers thousands of other features your mom would enjoy like voice-activated access to news, weather, her favorite music and much more.
Facebook Portal: If your mom is a Facebook user, a voice-command Facebook portal (see portal.facebook.com) is another simple way to stay connected – home Wi-Fi is needed.
If you decide to order an Echo Show device for mom, be sure your ask Amazon to mark it as a gift so it doesn’t get tied to your Amazon account. For instructions to help your mom set it up, or if she doesn’t have a smartphone, go to Amazon.com/gp/help/customer/ display.html, and type in “Help Loved Ones Set Up Their Echo Show Remotely” in the “find more solutions” bar. ViewClix: This is a smart picture frame specifically designed for elderly seniors that lets family members make video calls, send photos and post virtual sticky notes with messages to their loved ones ViewClix from their smartphone, tablet or computer. Seniors, however, cannot initiate video calls from their ViewClix.
Available in two sizes – 10-inch for $199, and 15-inch for $299 – you can learn more about this product at ViewClix.com.
Portals, which come in three sizes – the original 10-inch Portal ($179), the 8-inch Mini ($129) and the massive 15-and-a-half-inch Portal Plus ($279) – are like Echo Shows, except they connect through Facebook. With a Portal, your mom can video call your smartphone or tablet (and vice versa) using Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. 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.
