Citizen comments bring fireworks at City Council meeting last month By Loretta Cozart During the August city council meeting, citizens expressed their concern over decisions by City Council and the leadership of Kings Mountain. Connie Green, of Landing Drive expressed her concern over decisions made by City Council. “Decisions are being justified that we are doing what is best for the city. Back room and front lawn

deals are conspired prior to meetings and the citizens never really know the truth behind the decisions or the details involved,” she said. “It seems that a few people vote, and this small group makes the decisions for many.” “There have been an awful lot of fireworks going on in the last few months. I realize a licensed professional was hired by Hounds Campground to do those fireworks,” she said. “But I question if the person hired had been different than who was hired, would the permit have been given?”

“Hounds Campground has been a topic of much undesirable activity. These activities can be viewed on Facebook and are despicable. The things I saw… I don’t know if you’ve seen them, but something needs to be done.” She went on to say, “Kings Mountain Police Department patrols my neighborhood; I see them in other neighborhoods, too. I’ve heard comments made that they (Hounds Campground) gets to do whatever they want. The city doesn’t See CITY COUNCIL, Page 8

For almost 18-years, the Community Kitchen has been staffed by volunteers from Central United Methodist Church and other churches in Kings Mountain. During that time over 500,000 meals have been served to those in need in our community. The church is most thankful for those volunteers for their dedication and service led by Jim Potter to make this ministry a success. Jim will be retiring from his work with the Community Kitchen and the community thanks him for his faithful service. The idea for a food ministry actually came about while Rev. Bob Little was the minister. Plans for a new activities building were being discussed and a committee was formed to help envision how that building could be used. See POTTER, Page 8

Coronavirus Relief Act 3.0 to provide $1 billion in relief On Friday, September 4, Governor Cooper’s office released that he would sign House Bill 1105: TIM MOORE Coronavirus Relief Act 3.0. Governor Cooper said, “This budget followed my

recommendations on school enrollment funding and invested in important areas like high speed internet ac- ROY COOPER cess and disaster relief, but legislators should have done more to

expand Medicaid, support small businesses, pay our educators, assist with rent and utilities relief and further help unemployed North Carolinians. Obviously I don’t agree with every provision, but the funding for pandemic support in this budget is critical and must move forward.” See RELIEF ACT, Page 8

It’s not too early to get your flu shot By DeShay Oliver, Deputy Health Director Cleveland County Public Health Center joins the NC Division of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in urging everyone to protect themselves by getting vaccinated against the flu. Everyone over the age of 6 months is encouraged to be immunized. It is not too early. The vaccine is safe and effective and the best way to protect yourself and your family from getting the flu. The flu vaccine will be available at Cleveland County Public Health Center beginning Wednesday, September 9. The vaccine with then be available Monday - Friday from 8 am -5 pm. In addition to vaccination, continue practicing healthy habits to protect you from flu viruses: • Cover your nose and mouth with tissue when you cough or sneeze. • Throw the tissue in the trash promptly after use. • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Stay home if you are

sick. The vaccine is free of charge for children 18 and younger who have Medicaid, do not have insurance or are underinsured (meaning insurance does not cover the flu vaccine). The vaccine will also be free for uninsured (non-Medicaid) pregnant women 19 and older who are serviced by the health department and women 19 and older who have a family planning waiver (Be Smart) and are receiving services at the health department. If you have insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, we will bill these third-party payers. If you do not meet the above criteria or do not have insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, the charge for the vaccine is $45. Cleveland County Public Health Center will also have available a limited number of the Flublok vaccines for those 18 and older and High Dose flu vaccines for those 65 and older. Insurance, Medicare or Medicaid can be billed for these vaccines, or the cost is $75. If you have questions or need additional information, call the Cleveland County Public Health Center Immunization Clinic at 980-484-5100. You may also find additional information about the flu at www.flu.nc.gov.

The COVID-19 crisis has overshadowed the 2020 Census but responding to the Census is very important. The Census is a complete count of everyone living in the United States. It’s only done once every 10 years and it determines how federal funding is allocated to local, state and federal programs and services and how many representatives we have in Congress. For every person who is not counted, we lose $1,800 per year. When the last Census was taken in 2010, only 67% -two thirds – of the people living in Cleveland County were counted. Our goal is to get everyone counted in the 2020 Census. We need to reach a 100% response rate! As of September 2, 77.1% of households in the US have completed the census. It only takes a few minutes to fill out and the impact on our community is worth taking the time to submit it. This year’s deadline is September 30.

Here’s how you can help us make sure that everyone living in the City of Kings Mountain is counted in the 2020 Census: Complete your Census and count everyone living in your household. Children are the most under-reported group, so please include them. Remind your family, friends, co-workers, church members and neighbors to take the Census. Offer to help anyone you know who may need assistance with completing their Census. These are easy steps we can all take to help reach our goal of 100% participation in the 2020 Census. You can respond to the Census online, by mail or by telephone. By now, you should have received sev-

eral mailings from the Census. If you haven’t responded, you may get a phone call from a Census taker who can help you complete your Census over the telephone. Or, you may get a visit from a Census taker who will help you fill out your Census form. Remember, you will not be asked for your social security number or bank account number or your credit card number. There is no cost to participate in the Census and no penalty if you haven’t responded yet. If anyone calls, emails or visits you and asks for any of this information or for money, it’s a scam. Please hang up immediately and don’t click on links in emails. Anyone who comes to your home taking the Census will have identification, so be sure to ask for it. If the person who says they are a Census taker can’t produce Census identification, they are an imposter. The City of Kings Mountain is counting on you to complete your Census.

OPINION

Wednesday, September 9, 2020

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. – Lyndon B. Johnson

Pieces of Kings Mountain History With all the craziness going on in the world, I yearn for the simpler times when I was LORETTA just a child. COZART In those days, I very seldom went anywhere alone. With a twin brother and a younger brother, I always had company. We traveled together most the time. Russ, James, and me. When we would leave the house, mom would tell us to watch out for each other, and we would. In school they gave us rulers imprinted with the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Life was simple then. I remember getting permission from our mom to take our wagon around the neighborhood and collect soda bottles. In those days, we could get two-cents a bottle and people left them everywhere, literally everywhere. We never understood why people would throw away money like that. It helped that we lived a half-block from the Pauline Store where Charlie and Mary Spearman supplied the groceries for folks in our neighborhood. When shift change occurred at the Pauline Mill, people would stream home after work, often after buying a soft drink at Charlie’s store.

When the soda was gone, the bottle was often tossed into a ditch on the side of the road. Of course, with three of us collecting bottles, we had to get a lot of bottles to amount to a single item for each of us individually. On good days, we each got something. On bad days, we split a single item. I remember traveling down Walker Street, Alexander Street, Fulton Street, Gantt Street, and even Waco Road. It was a lot of work collecting bottles, but some of my fondest memories with my brothers were spent searching for bottles and, of course, having fun along the way. While we weren’t making much money, we also thought it was a good thing to do to clean up the neighborhood. In our minds, we were doing our part to keep the neighborhood clean. Those were the days of “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute” campaigns. When we had enough bottles to buy what we wanted, we’d take them to the Pauline Store. There was a canopy out front that provided shade and we would park the wagon there, tell Mary what we were doing, and get soda crates from the storage room at the back of the store. One by one, we’d put the bottles in the crates and calculate the money we’d make. Mary exchanged the

bottles for cash, and we’d divide our bounty between us. I remember spending what seemed like hours in front of Charlie’s candy counter. Between the counter and me was a Sealtest ice cream box. On a hot summer day, the cool air from that box was reward enough for our efforts. Each time someone opened the box, the cold air would whoosh out and it would feel so good. The days of visiting with Mary and Charlie are gone. The store is but a shell of itself, and Pauline Mill was demolished years ago. We’ve moved into the 21st Century and have yet to solve the nation’s problems. I am not so naïve to think a party or person can solve such things. I remember the words of my mother and teachers. Watch out for each other and treat others as you want to be treated yourself. Life can be simple, if you follow Jesus’ words in John 13, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Doing so may not solve the nation’s problems, but it sure makes our little spot in the world a much better place to live.

Restoring Relationships (Part 2 of “Offense Series.”) We get upset when people have said or done something to us that we do not like, but how do we respond when we realize that we have offended or hurt others? Choice One: We ignore what we have done and hope the person forgets about it. Choice Two: We get into DANYALE PATTERSON a bigger confrontation with the person and make matters worse. Choice Three: We attempt to restore the relationship with the person. The Bible helps us out with the answer. Romans 14:19 states, “So then, we must pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.” 2 Little Words - “I’m sorry.” Simple, short, easy, yet POWERFUL! So why is it so hard to say? Some people refuse to apologize when they have wounded someone and will act like nothing happened. That’s called pride. Proverbs 13:10a states, “Where there is strife, there is pride…” Pride causes us to speak when it’s best to be quiet. It provokes us to react rudely when walking away

and calming down would be more beneficial. It takes humility to admit that we hurt someone and maturity to endeavor in “righting the wrong.” Today, many are on edge and families are falling apart. How much better would our relationship dynamic be if we demonstrated sincere remorse for offenses? Let’s value the people we care about and not take them for granted. Remember to enjoy them and make sweet memories. David states in Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.” Meditate on the following scriptures: Mathew 22:37-40: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Luke 6:31 - “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.” Romans 12:10 - “Love each other with genuine affection and take delight in honoring each other.” Philippians 2:3 - “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”

Page 5 PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father, I glorify your name. You alone are worthy of my praise. You are the faithful God, keeping your covenant of love to a thousand generations. You are the essence of love. Forgive me for pride and self-centeredness. Lord, help me to be mature enough to apologize when I have offended or hurt someone. Touch the hearts of people that I have hurt knowingly or unintentionally and fill them with peace. Help me to amend any wrongs I have done. I ask for wisdom and guidance from your Spirit. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. May I live a life of peace and shine the light of Christ everywhere I go. In Jesus’ name - Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

Real to Reel Film Festival goes virtual for 2020 It seems that many special events and annual activities have had to be canceled in this year of Covid19. But one yearly event has found a way to adapt to this turbulent situation – and so the 21st annual International Real to Reel Film Fest (RRFF) will be fully virtual in 2020. Planned originally by the Cleveland County Arts Council as an in-person festival this year, the RRFF has been modified to be an online exclusive platform, slated from Sept. 9 – Oct. 9, 2020. But even with the unexpected changes, the filmmakers and event planners for Real to Reel say they are looking forward to what this new version of the festival will offer. “We are excited to work with Seed and Spark (a virtual film festival provider) to bring Real to Reel Film Festival into the virtual festival space via their platform,” says festival director Violet Dukes. Festival tickets are now available for purchase at www.realtoreelfest. com. There, RRFF attendees will have the entire month span from Sept. 9 to Oct. 9 to view the wide variety of documentaries, short films, animation films and films made by children included in this year’s program. “One highlight for audience members will be the chance to hear behind-thescenes details about select films,” says Noel T. Manning II, Real to Reel co-

founder and selection committee member. “Several international filmmakers will share interviews on their craft, their film and the impact of film festivals on independent cinema.” These Q&A sessions will be available for the duration of the RRFF. The selection committee screened nearly 150 film submissions, from amateur and professional filmmakers, including animated shorts, live-action shorts, documentaries (shorts and feature length), feature-length narrative films, and films made by children ages 14 years and younger. International countries of origin for submissions include India, Japan, Iran, Russia and Slovakia, among others. The festival will screen 43 films based on the selections made by the committee. Awards categories will be classified by their student/ amateur or professional submission status. Last year’s RRFF saw an attendance of approximately 300 people. “While this year’s festival will certainly have a different feel, we’re excited to once again bring diverse, educational and entertaining independent films to our community and beyond,” said Shearra Miller, president of the Cleveland County Arts Council. For more information about this year’s festival, contact the Arts Council by email at info@ccartscouncil.org or by phone at 704-4842787.

Over his three-year career at KM, Paysour hauled in 171 passes for 3,696 yards, both career records. His 79 receptions for 26 touchdowns his junior year are also school records along with his 103-yard pass interception return for a TD in a state playoff game at Statesville in 2018. Of course, head coach Greg Lloyd and every KM fan hates to see Paysour go. But, with the ruling by the NCHSAA not to play fall football and with him due to enroll early at Carolina, Paysour wanted to play his senior year and Lloyd supports his decision. The Mountaineers have some talented pass receivers returning and Lloyd plans to move defensive back Titus Phillips, who was the leading receiver on the JV team as a freshman and sophomore, to Paysour’s spot. DeAndre Hoyle, who is up from the JVs, transfer Jaylen Mims and others, will also be receiving threats. “We support Kobe’s decision,” Coach Lloyd said. “He wanted to play his senior year and if he’d stayed here he would not have been able to since he’s going to Carolina early. “I think we’ll still be able to score a lot of points,” he said. “The offensive and defensive lines may be the best ones we’ve had since I’ve been here. I think we’ll be fine.” Kings Mountain fans interested in attending Gaffney games should make themselves aware of South

With COVID 19 delaying the start of North Carolina high school football until February, three Kings Mountain High senior standouts who had already committed to major colleges with intentions of leaving KMHS at the Christmas break had some tough decisions to make. Kobe Paysour, the Mountaineers’ all-time leading pass receiver who will be enrolling at the University of North Carolina for the spring semester, announced last week that he would play his final prep season with the Gaffney Indians. Defensive end Javari Wilson and linebacker Day Day Wilson, who have committed to Fordham and Missouri, respectively, have decided to stay at KMHS and help the Mountaineers in their quest for a conference and state championship. Paysour enrolled at Gaffney last week. The Indians are preparing for a slightly-delayed South Carolina football season that begins at home on Friday, Sept. 25 against Boiling Springs. Paysour will make the defending state champions and longtime South Carolina power even more powerful as he will help form one of the top 1-2 pass receiver duos in the state, just as he did with Quintin Davidson last season in KM. Gaffney also returns its top pass catcher from last year’s championship team, Natron Johnson, who caught 69 passes for 802 yards.

MORROW

was recognized as the 2013 HSL-48 Officer of the Year. Following a year at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, RI, Commander Morrow joined the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Financial Management and Comptroller, Office of Budget (FMB) at the Pentagon in Washington, DC in 2014 where he has served as the Senior Financial Manager for the readiness portfolios, providing operations and maintenance funding for all

of the Navy’s ships, aircraft, and shore facilities. Commander Morrow’s personal decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (four awards), the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (three awards), and numerous unit and campaign awards. He is married to the former Elizabeth George from Reidsville, NC and together they have two daughters, Lyla and Caroline.

coming, and we need to be conscious of that,” he said. “We need to make sure we are on top of that and I am going to ask County Commissioners to do the same thing.” “You are all in favor of the casino. I am not,” he pointed out. “I don’t think we will benefit from it. I also know that this council has put in an inordinate amount of time towards it. I would like to ask that this stop. I don’t want my tax dollars going towards that. If that’s the type of growth you want, that is the type of growth you will get.” Green also asked that the Mayor stop shooting fireworks at Hounds Campground. “I think it is inappropriate: Tuesday nights, Thursday nights, and Saturday nights. I applaud the police department for issuing a noise ordinance violation. I hope you will look at the noise ordinance and

revamp it because (allowing fireworks) on weeknights is clearly inappropriate.” Green asked Councilmembers Thombs, Hawkins, West, and prior to the meeting, Allen to team up and start clearing a path for a change in leadership. “I would seriously consider a vote of no confidence in our leadership in this community, starting with the Mayor, City Manager, and Assistant City Manager,” he said. “It’s time for a change. It’s time for us to start moving forward.” Mayor Neisler responded regarding his work shooting fireworks saying, “I was hired by the band that came and did a concert there. This was not the rave event you alluded to. I want you to know that I am licensed by the state of NC and go by all the rules. I do understand that it does make noise, but I am doing it legally,” he said.

livery of meals began after the pastor at Second Baptist and a helper volunteered for that duty. Soon volunteers began to deliver on regular routes as well as serve meals in the CAC. On Thursday, September 3 from 3 – 6 pm., the Community Kitchen will be transitioning from a ministry that serves prepared meals to a ministry where grocery items will be available for pickup. This new phase of the Community Kitchen ministry will continue as long as there is participation. Even though the nature of this ministry has changed, if you are interested in being a volunteer, you will be warmly welcomed, and your service greatly appreciated. For more information, please email central@cumckm.org or call 704-739-2471.

He commended the city for its efforts in cleaning up and for hiring codes enforcement officer. He encouraged council to increase their budget in the next cycle. “What has been done is commendable and I think Clint (Houser) is on the right track and you will continue to support him in his efforts to clean the city up.” He also encouraged City Council to hire at least two more police officers in the next budget cycle as a result of the casino. “Corruption is

John Plonk, John Maddox, and Jim Potter visited Shelby Presbyterian's five day a week food ministry to see how it worked. Contact was made with Second Harvest Food Bank and soon the Community Kitchen at Central was off and running. In addition to having contributions of food from Second Harvest, volunteers began picking up food donations from Food Lion seven days a week. Initially meals were cooked and served in the CAC only, but later de-

Ask the facility about ways they can help with this.” “Make sure your loved one’s facility has your emergency contact information. The facility may need to communicate with you about any developments regarding your loved one or about the facility as a whole.” “I prayerfully ask for your patience and understanding as we all work through this pandemic isolation period.”

RELIEF ACT From Page 1 The state General Assembly gave final bipartisan approval to a $1 billion historic relief package the day before that includes direct payments to North Carolina parents of $335 to cover unexpected childcare costs. The relief measure also increases North Carolina’s unemployment benefits for families to the second highest in the Southeast, while maintaining tax rates for employers still recovering from the pandemic and rehiring displaced workers. The measure delivers on a top public school priority of holding education funding levels as harmless, regardless of expected drops in enrollment. The hold harmless funding policy was cited by education leaders as the most important mea-

Therefore, the City’s

Relief for North Carolinians in House Bill 1105 Coronavirus Relief Act 3.0 includes: • Childcare support of $335 to North Carolina parents • Better unemployment benefits increased $200/ month • $75 million for PPE to protect North Carolinians • Promises kept to K-12 schools to “hold harmless” funding • A total increase of $115 million to education • $17 million in grants

tree trimming contractor will trim back all of the trees on the mainline to an approximate point of 15 feet. “This action is necessary to reduce the number of outages and blinks caused by squirrels and tree related issues,” said Hendricks. “Even though the City did not plant the trees along the mainline, we are still required to engage in preventative tree trimming,” added Hendricks. Taking a more aggressive approach to tree trimming will affect the appearance of some trees, but this approach will assist in preventing unplanned service disruptions. Key points: • The City’s Electric Division is working with Zoning to ensure that future zoning regulations consider tree growth and will specify that smaller trees be planted near power lines. • The City understands the frustration with blinks and power outages and the disruption to daily life that can adversely impact our

residential, commercial and industrial customers. • Prospective residents, businesses and industries review reporting indexes on reliability when choosing sites to locate. With safe and reliable power as our number one priority, it is imperative that the City proactively and aggressively trims trees to mitigate safety hazards and reliability concerns. • There is no way to trim the trees without, in some cases, completely topping or side cutting them in order to maintain a safe clearance of the branches from our power lines. This City observes a fifteen (15) foot right-of-way for mainline tree clearance and does not have the right to cut beyond fifteen (15) feet. • Citizens will have to choose -- at their expense -- whether or not they want to remove a tree after trimming has occurred. “Beatification after such trimming has occurred is the responsibility of the landowner.

Hawk Watch returns to Grandfather Mountain Being a mile high has its advantages. From atop Grandfather Mountain, visitors can grab a front-row seat to one of nature’s most stunning spectacles – thousands of raptors migrating over the mountains and heading south toward their wintering grounds. Guests can observe the raptors during the annual Hawk Watch, in which official counters note the number of passersby in the sky throughout the entire month of September. Raptors are birds of prey, such as hawks, eagles, owls and vultures. The telltale signs of the raptor are sharp talons, a hooked upper bill and keen eyesight. While some raptors remain in place during winter, most will travel south, where food is more abundant. Grandfather Mountain is a prime spot for viewing

A red-tailed hawk soars through the High Country sky. Throughout the entire month of September, visitors to Grandfather Mountain can observe red-tailed hawks and numerous other raptors, as they make their annual migration south. (photo by Judi Sawyer/Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation) this phenomenon, because it sits along the eastern escarpment of the Appalachian Mountains, and its rocky peaks generate strong thermal uplifts and allow prime visibility. Perhaps the most dramatic visual display comes courtesy of the broad-winged

hawk, which migrates in groups of hundreds or thousands, called kettles. Those sightings are most common around the second to third week of September. During 2015’s Hawk Watch, Grandfather Mountain president and executive director Jesse Pope spotted a

kettle of some 4,800 broadwings passing over in less than 30 minutes, along with numerous other kettles of considerable size, amounting to nearly 10,000 raptors in one day. Aside from offering a visual spectacle, Hawk Watch serves an important purpose. The annual counts from Grandfather Mountain and other locations help track hawk populations and migration routes over time and provide important data to inform land management decisions. In fact, Grandfather Mountain is one of more than 300 Hawk Watch sites officially designated by the Hawk Migration Association of North America. Counts will be conducted every day the weather permits – the hawks don’t typically fly in fog or storms – from an area inaccessible to the general public and will be

posted daily at HawkCount. org. Although visitors cannot participate in the official watch this year, due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, they’re welcome and encouraged to witness the annual phenomenon, with prime viewing locations on Linville Peak (across the Mile High Swinging Bridge) and Half Moon Overlook (the first major overlook when entering the park). “It invokes that sense of wonder we always talk about at Grandfather Mountain,” Pope said. “It’s that time of year where you’re watching a majestic bald eagle soar over the mountain, and you can’t help but ask questions, like, ‘Where are they going?’ or ‘Why are they making this annual journey?’ It’s just an awe-inspiring time of year.” This helps demonstrate

why September is one of Pope’s favorite months on Grandfather Mountain. Along with migration, it’s a time when the mountain sees a kettle’s worth of seasonal changes. “September is a very transformative month on Grandfather Mountain, where we go from the flora and fauna of summer to those of autumn,” he said. “You don’t know what you might see on any given day.” The not-for-profit Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation strives to inspire conservation of the natural world by helping guests explore, understand and value the wonders of Grandfather Mountain. For more information, call (800) 468-7325, or plan a trip at www.grandfather.com. For now, tickets are only being sold online at www. grandfather.com.
