Gordon new face on county board Republican Kevin Gordon, Chief Emeritus of the Waco Fire Department with a 30-year career in public service, is the new face on the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. Cleveland County voters went to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3, and elected Gordon, a newcomer to county politics, and re-elected incumbent commissioners Johnny Hutchins and board vice-chairman Ronnie Whetstine. Shaun Murphy, Democrat and newcomer to politics, lost his bid for one of three seats open on the
board. Hutchins, of Kings Mountain, led the ticket with 32,821 votes or 28.5 percent of the votes cast. Whetstine, of Shelby, followed closely with 32,645 or 28.4 percent of the votes cast and Gordon, of Shelby, with 32,248 votes or 28 percent of the votes cast. Shaun Murphy, of Kings Mountain, received 17,294 or 15 percent of the votes cast. Other members of the board with unexpired terms are Republicans Doug Bridges and Deb Hardin, both of Shelby.
City Council passes sale of alcohol before noon on Sunday By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain City Council voted 5-2 in favor of an ordinance allowing alcohol to be served in restaurants as early as 10 am on Sundays during a special called meeting on Thursday, Nov. 5. All councilmembers were present, and Jay Rhodes and Keith Miller cast the dissenting votes. This topic had been voted on during the October 27 City Council meeting, however it was brought before council to be re-voted because the ordinance was
not officially passed due to a lack of 2/3 majority of the actual membership on the date of introduction. Under the voting rules in G.S. 160A-75, if the date on which the board votes on the ordinance is regarded as the date of introduction, an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the actual membership of the council is required to adopt the measure. If an earlier date is deemed to be the date of introduction, a majority of the members of the council would be sufficient. See ALCOHOL, Page 4

Record-shattering votes for Biden, Trump
Republicans win big in Cleveland County Republicans won big in Cleveland County and voters supported candidates in state and national elections. Tuesday’s turn-out in the 2020 general election set records. In the Presidential election more than 75 million people cast votes for Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat, and more than 71 million people cast votes for Republican President Donald J. Trump on Nov 3. President Trump is challenging the election results and declaration by media outlets that Biden has won the highly-contested race while votes are still being counted, including in North Carolina where the Presidential race is still up for grabs and Trump is leading Biden..
Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral votes, put Biden over the 270 votes needed to clinch the election Saturday night but President Trump’s challenge of alleged voter fraud may wind up in the courts. This year a record 103 million Americans voted early to avoid waiting in lines at polling places during a pandemic. More than 4.5 million people cast ballots in the Tar Heel State. That is more than 95 percent of all NC voters who cast ballot ins 2016. Turn-out at the polls on Nov. 3 was lighter. Cleveland County voters supported Trump 2-1 over Biden. The unofficial vote was: Trump, 33,664 and Biden, 16,879. Tim Moore, R - Cleve-

City council heard an update on Kings Mountain’s Comprehensive Plan during their Oct. 27 meeting. Presenting were President Gary Mitchell and Senior Associate-in-Charge Kelli McCormick of Kendig Keast Collaborative. The Comprehensive Plan helps the city and others make sound and coordinated decisions regarding the future of the Kings Mountain community. The project kick-off occurred in April, just after the COVID-19 pandemic began, resulting in a delay to their original timeline. In May, Kendig Keast held a remote introduction meeting with city council, referred to as the startup and early engagement phase, during which town meetings and listening sessions were to be held. This phase deadline was shifted to end in October and town meetings were removed from the plan. Phase 2 addressed Kings Mountain Today, consisting of advisory group meetings, reviewing the existing city report, and leadership workshops. This phase was shifted to June – November. Kings Mountain Tomorrow, Phase 3, includes advisory group meetings and the future-focused portion of the plan. This phase was changed to December through April 2021. Finalization and Adoption is the last phase in which implementation strategies, a public open house, a leadership workshop, and final hearings and adoption would be addressed. This is now scheduled for April to May 2021. COVID-19 has caused many issues with timelines and Phase 3 and Phase 4 may by pushed back even further, should the Coronavirus continue into 2021. An online survey was conducted and 218 individuals from Kings Mountain, Grover, Shelby, and Cherryville responded. According Kendig Keast, the response percentage is on average with most surveys they conduct. Approximately 30 respondents were not from Kings Mountain. About 115 people lived in the city for more than 20 years. The number of people who lived in the town 1–5 years was about 35. Twenty people respondents lived in Kings Mountain for 6–10 years. And about 18 people lived in the city for 11-20 years. Respondents reported that they worked in Gaffney, Charlotte, Shelby, Kings Mountain, Belmont, Stanley, or were retired. A few respondents also work remotely. Other municipalities were mentioned, but only one of two people worked in those communities. The top five priorities, according to those who took the survey were, (1) ongoing downtown enhancements and improvements, (2) public safety (police, fire, ambulance service), (3) more leisure/en-
tertainment options, (4) safety when walking/biking, and (5) more shopping choices. When asked what “small town feel” Kings Mountain needs to preserve, respondents indicated they wanted a traditional downtown, local shops/ restaurant vs. chains or fast food, community events / family activities, control traffic, maintain low crime rate, and that it be a walkable place. The majority of people felt the city needs more housing options. The top five indicated a need for more downtown residential, followed by move-up mid-level housing, large-lot housing for people to live in the city but be separated from their neighbors, more housing options for seniors to stay in Kings Mountain, and attached housing types like patio homes or townhomes. When asked what public service contributes most to quality of life, the top five included public safety, infrastructure, downtown development, parks / recreation / trails, and economic development. In evaluating the community’s character, Kendig Keast evaluated communities comparing three components: paving, open space, and buildings. A community with more buildings was considered Urban. Towns with an equal amount of buildings and open space was considered Suburban. And a city with more pavement and buildings than open space was considered Auto Urban. They urge Kings Mountain to address character and balance of paving, open space, and buildings in its plan for the future. Even in areas where seas of pavement currently exist, planning can make way for future improvement to balance it with trees and plantings. Strategic priorities for Future Kings Mountain Phase were identified as: • Housing - More supply, options, mid-market rental, condition of older housing stock, and more living opportunities in/near Downtown. • Downtown - Continue to enhance (businesses, restaurants, mixed use, aesthetics), find our niche to attract/retain next generations and keep our leisure activity and spending here (along with jobs). • Economic Development Keep building industrial base, more local job options, support business startups especially Downtown. • Beautification - Overall aesthetics, upkeep, and better streetscapes. • Natural & Cultural Resources - Park / trail improvements, protect lakes, tap into heritage tourism and National Park visitation. • Growth & Land Use Pace of growth we can manage while maintaining what makes life good in Kings Mountain, more connected community. • Education –-Technical and higher education to support area economy and higher-level jobs, improve quality of life and reduce poverty.

Patriots Park gets a landscape renovation By Loretta Cozart During the last few weeks, Patriots Park received a facelift with new plantings. “After 20-years, many of the planting beds had seen their better days,” according to Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks. “Many of the shrubs had root rot, so we had to replace them with new plants.” In addition to new plants, Patriots Park also got new sprinklers and more lighting. With the help of a landscape designer, new plants were chosen for their beauty, heartiness, and with regard to future growth. As Patriots Park becomes a hub for the city, and with the city hosting more festivals and
events annually, the more important it is to choose the correct plants for the venue. “What a beautiful renovation of the landscaping around the gazebo! Being constructed more than 20 years ago, Patriots Park has become more important to us today since we are having to practice social distancing,” Mayor Neisler said. “And the re-beautification of an already great place to go, just makes it better. You will see in the coming months that improving the beautification of our downtown will be a big priority, with streetscape. It will help our downtown businesses to thrive while increasing the area where we all want to be!” he added.
With Christmas around the corner, and Thanksgiving just two weeks away, it won’t be long before the Kings Mountain Downtown Christmas Fantasy Light Show on 87.9 FM begins downtown. Luckily, this event was designed to be seen from your car while listening to Christmas music on the radio and is perfect for social distancing. After watching and listening to the show, drive by Patriots Park and admire the hard work of many city employees and staff making this place one all can enjoy and be proud of for generations to come.

nesses that have the necessary permit to sell malt beverages, unfortified wine, fortified wine, and mixed beverages for on premises and/or off premises consumption may now sell such beverages beginning at 10 am on Sunday when the local government adopts the necessary ordinance.

Sunday and employs four full-time and 15 part-time employees. The ability to serve alcohol during brunch on Sunday would be a game changer for us.” The ordinance is a result of 2017 legislation known as SL 2017-87, specifically Section 4, commonly known as the brunch bill, that passed on June 28, 2017 and was signed into law by Governor Cooper on June 30 and is subject to local government approval. In accordance with G.S. 18B-1004(c), a city may
adopt an ordinance allowing for the sale of malt beverages, unfortified wine, fortified wine, and mixed beverages beginning at 10 am on Sunday pursuant to the licensed premises’ permit issued. Shelby and Gastonia adopted the brunch bill in August 2017. “This bill basically was passed, by the state, to accommodate tailgating in Charlotte during Panther games on Sunday. Within a year of passing other local cities passed it as well,” said Mayor Scott Neis-
ler. “The restaurant business is already a tough business and I think as a city we have to support our restaurants, so they have no barriers to success. There has been a lot of questions surrounding this bill as to who would qualify. Interpreting ABC laws can be hard. If you have a business that possesses an ABC permit, I invite you to contact our ABC officer at the police department to get clarification on your specific situation.”
County voters supported Dan Forest, 31,919 to Cooper’s 18,463. Political newcomer and Republican Mark Robinson will become the state’s first African American to be elected Lieutenant Governor. Cleveland County voters supported Robinson 33, 182 to 16,881 for Democrat Yvonne Holly. Ted Alexander, former Mayor of Shelby, won 70 percent of the vote in his
race for re-election to District 44 NC Senator. His opponent was Democrat David Lattimore. Kelly Hastings won re-election to his District 110 NC House seat. Republicans make up majority party on both the Cleveland County Board of Education and the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners with five new faces on the school board and one new face on
the board of commissioners. Ballots are still being counted in the Tillis- Cunningham US Senate race in North Carolina. Tillis claimed victory Nov. 3 but Cunningham said he waits for the vote count as the race has been too close too call. Tillis said he held 89 percent lead on Nov. 3. There were 71 write-ins for US President by voters in Cleveland County.

This is the fourth rabid animal identified in the county this year. The animal was found at the 100 block of Main St, Shelby, NC. November 9, 2020 the Cleveland County Health Department was notified of a skunk that tested positive for rabies. This is the fifth rabid animal identified in the county this year. The animal was found at Fallston Rd, Shelby, NC. Any person bitten or exposed to potentially infectious saliva from a cat or skunk in these areas should contact their healthcare provider or the local health department for a rabies risk assessment. You may contact the Cleveland County Health Department at 980484-5169. Cleveland County Animal Services will be conducting a rabies vaccination canvass in the areas. Rabies vaccinations and boosters are available for cats and dogs at the Animal Services center located at 1601 Airport Rd Shelby, NC 28150 Monday – Friday 10 am – 4
pm. Rabies initial vaccines and boosters are $10 per pet. Rabies is a fatal yet preventable disease if post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is administered. Rabies is transmitted by the bite of an infected animal or via contamination of open wounds or mucus membranes with potentially infectious material such as saliva. Prevention of rabies is based on protection of susceptible animals and people and appropriate management of persons and animals exposed to rabies: Vaccinate pets. In accordance with NC State Law, all dogs, cats, and ferrets must be kept currently vaccinated against rabies and must wear a rabies tag. Cats are the most commonly identified domestic animal with rabies. Control measures for pets exposed to rabies: If pets are exposed to rabies they should receive a booster dose of rabies vaccine if they are currently vaccinated at the time of exposure. If pets are not currently vaccinated against rabies when exposed, the animals will be euthanized or quarantined
for six months in accordance with state law. Control measures for persons exposed to rabies: Seek medical guidance from your healthcare provider or the local health department if you believe you have been exposed to rabies. Limit stray and feral animals. In the cities of Shelby, Kings Mountain, Boiling Springs, and Grover all dogs must be kept on a leash. Persons should not approach stray or feral dogs or cats. Feral cat colonies should be intensively monitored, and their location reported to Cleveland County Animal Services. Leave wildlife alone. Raccoons and other wildlife serve as the reservoir for rabies in North Carolina. Rabies occurs throughout North Carolina. Anyone that sees an animal demonstrating unusual behavior should call the Cleveland County Animal Services Department at (704) 4819884 or visit their website at www.clevelandcountypets.org/contact-us and complete the form.

Nationwide, 237,584 people have died from the Coronavirus and cases in the US climbed by 100,000 each day from Nov. 4 through Nov. 6. On Saturday, Nov. 6, daily diagnosed cases in the US reached 132,830, the highest number of diagnosed cases per day during the pandemic. Last week, 18,704 North Carolinians were diagnosed with COVID-19. On Nov. 6, the state saw 2,904 individuals identified with the virus in a single day, according to NCDHHS website. Currently, 1,147 people across the state were hospitalized and 4,607 people died. In Cleveland County, 3,562 people have gotten the Coronavirus and 91 have died. In Kings Mountain 978 have been infected with Coronavirus and 30 have succumbed to it. Currently, five states have reported 10,000 or more cases in a single day. Those states include California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. In Denmark, 214 people were infected with a mink-related mutation of the Coronavirus, causing that nation to kill its entire mink population, according to Reuters. This discovery is concerning because those infected with the mutated virus have more difficulty producing antibodies against that strain. With Thanksgiving just two-weeks away, the CDC offers guidance to those who plan to celebrate the holiday outside their immediate family. They first advise Americans to stay home on Thanksgiving but know not everyone will heed those words. For those who don’t
choose to celebrate the holiday with friends and family, the CDC suggests, “As many people in the United States begin to plan for fall and winter holiday celebrations, CDC offers the following considerations to help protect individuals and their families, friends, and communities from COVID-19.” “When planning to host a holiday celebration, you should assess current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees,” the CDC shared on its website. “There are several factors that contribute to the risk of getting infected or infecting others with the virus that causes COVID-19 at a holiday celebration. In combination, these factors will create various amounts of risk, so it is important to consider them individually and together: • Community levels of COVID-19 – Higher levels of COVID-19 cases and community spread in the gathering location, as well as where attendees are coming from, increase the risk of infection and spread among attendees. Family and friends should consider the number and rate of COVID-19 cases in their community and in the community where they plan to celebrate when considering whether to host or attend a holiday celebration. Information on the number of cases in an area can be found on the area’s health department website. • The location of the gathering – Indoor gatherings generally pose more risk than outdoor gatherings. Indoor gatherings with poor ventilation pose more risk than those with good ventilation, such as those with open
windows or doors. • The duration of the gathering – Gatherings that last longer pose more risk than shorter gatherings. • The number of people at the gathering – Gatherings with more people pose more risk than gatherings with fewer people. CDC does not have a limit or recommend a specific number of attendees for gatherings. The size of a holiday gathering should be determined based on the ability to reduce or limit contact between attendees, the risk of spread between attendees, and state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations. • The locations attendees are traveling from – Gatherings with attendees who are traveling from different places pose a higher risk than gatherings with attendees who live in the same area. Higher levels of COVID-19 cases and community spread in the gathering location, or where attendees are coming from, increase the risk of infection and spread among attendees. • The behaviors of attendees prior to the gathering – Gatherings with attendees who are not adhering to social distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart), mask wearing, hand washing, and other prevention behaviors pose more risk than gatherings with attendees who are engaging in these preventative behaviors. • The behaviors of attendees during the gathering – Gatherings with more preventive measures in place, such as mask wearing, social distancing, and hand washing, pose less risk than gatherings where fewer or no preventive measures are being implemented.

“Hallowed Be Thy Name…” The Lord’s ity of being, to Prayer has perbe extraordinary, haps been the set apart. God is most recited all of these and prayer in history. more.

The peRon Caulder Eastside Baptist we addressed the tition “Hallowed opening to this be Thy Name” model prayer… could also be “Our Father which art translated,However, the in heaven.” Following holy name of God is often this phrase are the words: profaned. In our secular “Hallowed Be Thy Name.” society the hallowed name What does “Hallow” of God is used too often mean? It means to sanc- in vain.

ner. God’s name is often used in casual ways which also dishonors His holy name. And, when it comes down to it, we are all likely guilty. Instead of profaning the holy name of God let us exalt His name. The psalmist wrote in Psalm 34:3 “Glorify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together.” We are to come to God humbly. When Moses appeared before the burning bush, he heard the voice of God and removed his sandals because he was now standing on holy ground. When the prophet Isaiah beheld a vision of the majesty of God, he cried out in fear, realizing that
he was unworthy to appear before the Lord. David, when he prayed to the Lord, would first declare the majesty and holiness of God before he made any requests. Likewise, in most biblical prayers, worship preceded petitions. This is the pattern set for us in the Lord’s prayer… “Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed by Thy Name.” When we worship God either collectively or individually, we are to “hallow” His name. We worship and serve a holy God Who is to be honored and praised. Our purpose of worship is to honor God. Remember when Jesus re-
buked the money changes in the Temple? Jesus said, “This is a house of prayer and you have turned it into a den of thieves.” Not only should our worship hallow His name, our lives should do the same. Our lives should reflect His glory. In all that we do, wherever we go, the activities we choose, the habits we form, the friends we choose…all should be a part of hallowing the name of God. Let us walk the talk! I challenge you, as I do myself, to humbly bow before “our Father” and to “hallow” His name.

It’s leaf season During leaf season, from October 15 until February, leaves and grass may be placed loose behind the curb for collection by our vacuum trucks. Please place all yard waste such as grass, weeds, flowers, limbs, and leaves behind the curb and out of the gutters and ditches when put out for collection. When cutting your grass, do not blow grass onto the streets or into ditch lines. Debris will wash into the storm drain and end up in the creeks and streams. Grass and leaves are a danger to motorcycle riders and bicyclists. City leaf crews are currently operating on routes that will encompass the entire City which takes 10-14 business days depending upon the amount of leaves raked out for collection. The city asks for your patience as they try to accommodate all citizens. The vacuum truck is unable to process leaf piles that are full of sticks and limbs and will be left for the knuckle-boom to collect on their route. Place all leaves in the grass area behind the curb and off the roadway. This will as-
sist the city in complying with the Federal Mandated Water Pollution Control Guidelines, by preventing leaves from washing into the storm drains and causing blockages and increases in sedimentation and other organic materials. Please call the Stormwater Department with any leaf collection questions at 704-7344501.

Jones Tennis Building at Kings Mountain High completes one of best athletic facilities in NC A huge crowd attended Thursday afternoon’s dedication of the Jones Tennis Building at Kings Mountain High which is being hailed as the finishing touch to the best high school tennis facility in North Carolina. The $1.3 million facility will serve as the home courts for men’s and women’s tennis teams at KMHS as well as many youngsters and older people who still have tennis in their blood. When the loan for the facility is paid off, president David Brinkley of the sponsoring Kings Mountain Touchdown Club promised renovations to the KMHS baseball field. Earlier projects sponsored by the club and now in use include artificial turf for the football field and other improvements to Gamble Stadium, new field houses for football and softball, and one of the best-equipped weight rooms in the state. Brinkley recalled – and older folks in the crowd surely remembered - when the old courts were built and there was a six feet slant from top to bottom. “There was no water, no restrooms, and no lockers or coaches offices for tennis,” he noted. “But not anymore; now we have one of the best – if not the best – tennis facility in North Carolina. I would put it up against anybody’s high school facility.” Brinkley thanked all persons who had a hand in the project, including contractors, sub-contractors, the school system and public. He especially made note of retired tennis coach Ed Guy, who helped design the facility. Brinkley pointed out that of the 14 subcontractors, 11 are from Kings Mountain. “I have always believed we have enough talent in this town to do whatever we need to do,” he said. All six courts were sponsored by individuals or companies, he noted. Cleveland County Schools Superintendent Dr. Stephen Fisher, who is also a product of KMHS where he
was an All-State pitcher on the Mountaineers’ 1993 state championship baseball team, called it a beautiful facility. “I assure you there’s not another one like this anywhere,” he said. “These are state of the art facilities. I have visited a lot of schools in North Carolina and other states and I’d put this up against anybody’s. “I am amazed as a parent as well,” he said. “These facilities are so much to be proud of. When David Brinkley said we like to do it the right way, I also add that we do it the Brinkley way. People like the Brinkleys are just not around everywhere. We appreciate their leadership.” KMHS Principal Julie Rikard is also impressed with all the improvements being made for athletics. “I am blessed to live in Kings Mountain,” she said. “I have been in education for 30 years. We are so fortunate to have a community that supports us in so many ways. We appreciate everyone for their commitment to Kings Mountain. Facilities can make a tremendous impact on students’ lives. I can see the pride that our students have in our facilities.” Rick Henderson, a former KMHS tennis player who will soon begin his 14th year as coach, hailed the accomplishments of many past tennis players and feels the new facility will increase interest in the sport and produce even more state champions like Bryan Jones, Jackie Houston, Madelynn Frye and Natalie Lutz. “The Kings Mountain tennis community owes a lot to David and Marie Brinkley,” he said. “David had the idea 15 years ago and now it’s a reality. He has the drive and commitment to see things through. “My job is to teach these young people. We will rebound from COVID and bring some more championships to Kings Mountain.” Brinkley thanked the City of Kings Mountain for all of its help, such as taking down See JONES, Page 3B

KM XC runners have worked months, now ready to begin 2020-21 season Rebuilding is a word used often in sports to describe a team that has lost many of its star players. But, even rebuilding may not be the proper word for this year’s Kings Mountain High cross country teams. The girls are basically starting from scratch, and the boys have only one runner that was in the top ten in last year’s Big South Conference meet. Veteran Coach Rayvis Key lost 13 runners off last year’s girls team and their top returner Marlee Arnold, who was one of the top three runners in the Big South, has transferred. And, the boys who ran a strong third to Crest and Forestview last year, have Key’s son Parker as their only returning scorer. The other nine scorers from last year’s team graduated. “So,” says Coach Key, “this is not just a rebuilding year but a total rebuilding year. We have a lot of new faces so it’s been a lot different from a year ago when our girls was the only team here to win a conference championship and that helped our athletic program win the Wachovia Cup. “We lost every single girl in the top five. Talk about rebuilding!” Key isn’t one to ever count a team out. The Lady Mountaineers may not be favored to win the conference

Forestview finished first but their numbers have dropped from previous years. “Forestview had three or four state qualifiers, Stuart Cramer had two and Ashbrook one,” Key noted. ”Ashbrok’s top runner is also a soccer player. Since soccer starts in January we don’t know if he will be running cross country or not. And, in Gaston County if you’re doing virtual schooling you can’t compete in sports.” Whether those stars are back or not, Key believes the Big South will be just as
competitive as ever. “On the guys side, we should be in the top four,” he predicted. “Other than the Forestview boys, the predicted finish is up in the air.” Key pointed out that some of his younger runners will be exciting to work with. “We’re really young, but Thalia Kushman is somebody to watch. I predict she will be pre-season All-Conference. “Parker Wilson, a freshman, looks good. She’s slightly behind Talia. “Our number seven last year, Divinity Ervin, has made tremendous gains. She’s going to come in and help with leadership. “Emma Herndon is our only senior and she should help us a lot. Nicole Poston, who was our number six
last year, should be in the top five along with Ashley Gural. We’re not as deep as in the past. If we lose one of the top five we could drop two spots.” On the boys side, Key’s son Parker is a two-time All-Conference runner. He finished 13th in the conference last year. “He’s got to step up and show leadership,” Coach Key noted. “Kohen Johnson has really impressed in workouts. Marty Lovingood, a baseball player, is out trying to build his leg strength for baseball.” Wyatt Wilson, a senior, will be the captain. “He should give us some leadership, and should be in the top five,” Key said. Also competing for the fifth spot are Hunter Cruise, Elliott Habel and Nate In-
thavong. KM runners and fans will see the sport a lot differently this season. “For the first time ever, you can only enter seven runners in a conference meet,” Key explained. That is a rule dictated by the NCHSAA because of COVID. In addition, Key said each conference decides how many teams and individuals qualify for the Regionals. “In past seasons everyone went to the Regionals,” he noted. “We want to qualify as a team, but surely hope a lot of individuals qualify for the regionals too.” Key said another rule this year is that schools can only run nine people. “In the past, you could take the whole team,” he noted. Key said the runners have been working since July, and because of the short season that could make a difference. “The conference meet is December 8,” he said. “That’s less than a month away so we’re hoping all of this practice pays off.” At present, the Western Regional meet will be in Boone on January 16. That could present a weather problem. “The coaches always vote for the regional site but it’s probably going to be very cold in Boone by
the time regionals come around,” Key noted. “I would like to see it moved to Freedom and have talked to several people about. I think we can pull it off. The private schools have already had their state championship and we haven’t even started our season.” Coach Key said his team has benefited tremendously from the hard work of assistant coach Miriam Wilson, and he is proud of her and their runners for abiding by social distancing. “We have to take temperatures before every practice,” Key noted. “She has a binder an inch thick of paperwork we’ve had since July. Every temperature for every practice is entered in it. She’s crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s. “And our kids have done an amazing job,” he added. “We’ve required every one of the runners and coaches to wear a mask for every practice. If one gets COVID we’d probably have to shut our season down. It’s a tribute to them for doing it right.”

Yetis to compete at Nationals Two members of Cleveland Community College’s Cross Country team will compete at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Cross Country National Championships. Freshman Noah Lesser (East Lincoln 2020) and Freshman Jonas Guffey (2020 Lincoln Charter) will represent the Yetis in their first ever trip to the Nationals.
The National Championship meet will be held Saturday, November 14 in Fort Dodge Iowa and hosted by Iowa Central Community College. The meet will include runners and teams from across the nation at the Division I, II, and III levels. Cleveland Community College’s runners will compete as individual runners in the Division II race. According to Yetis
Coach Steve McCachren, the national meet will be a boost to the second year Cross Country program. “Attending nationals provides excellent exposure for our team,” said McCachren. “This trip shows the commitment that Cleveland Community College has made to Cross Country and our athletics program. Next year, we hope to have even more runners com-
pete at nationals” Both Lesser and Guffey were named to the NJCAA Region 10 All Region team following the Regional Championship meet hosted by Patrick Henry Community College (Martinsville, VA). At that meet, Lesser was also named as the Region 10 Division II Runner of the Year.

Letter to community (Ed. Note – The following is a letter from Matt Bridges, Athletic Director at Kings Mountain High School concerning the current Covid-19 regulations for KMHS sports). Kings Mountain Community, Kings Mountain Athletics is very fortunate to have a community who follows and supports our young athletes. We want to first thank each of you who continually find ways to provide lasting memories to our student athletes. In saying that, due to the impact of Covid-19 the NCHSAA has provided very strict guidelines for us to follow to start out our sport seasons. If you are unaware, the NCHSAA has modified our sport seasons and we continue to get guidance each and every week. We have been fortunate to finally get our try-outs and official practices started in Men's Cross-Country, Women's Cross-Country, Varsity Volleyball, and JV Volleyball. The first contest for these sports will start November 16th. We have many guidelines in place to hopefully allow a successful but safe sports year. Below are the guidelines that we have put in place due to the NCHSAA, CDC, and Cleveland County Schools leadership. We hope to get back to the norm in the future so that our KM faithful can continue their great support in our gyms and fields. These guidelines can change at any time and Kings Mountain Athletics will try to make sure updates are sent out to the community. Men's and Women's Cross-Country During practices and scrimmages spectators are not allowed. Any student athlete, coach, or school personnel will wear cloth face covering unless they are participating in an aerobic activity. Athletes will remain 6 feet apart as we can control. During our meets we will allow spectators but they must remain 6 foot apart unless they live in the same household, please don't gather. Spectators will have to wear cloth face coverings while on campus. Spectators will not be allowed in areas designated to the teams involved. Student-athletes will need to provide their own water. Volleyball Only 25 spectators are allowed in the gym. This doesn't include event staff, players, coaches, or media. All spectators will be required to have a cloth face mask on. All spectators must be seated 6 feet apart unless they live in the same household. Each JV and Varsity player will have the opportunity to buy two season tickets and distribute how they feel needed. Any leftover tickets will be prioritized to make sure that we have the ability for every person involved to be represented. We feel as a conference and county that parents of these athletes are our first priority. Only season tickets are being sold. No one else will be allowed to enter. JV spectators will have to leave the gym immediately after the JV game is finished. Varsity spectators will be allowed in the gym for the varsity game as soon as the gym is cleaned and JV spectators have exited. Varsity spectators please wait outside 6 feet apart with face covering on. Visiting teams will not be allowed spectators at KMHS. Any Big South or Cleveland County School teams will have the same restrictions. No visiting spectators will be allowed. KMHS Athletics is working to provide a free live streaming of our volleyball games so that community supporters can see the event online. We will be sending these links out through social media as soon as we get the capability to do so. Please work with us because this is very new to us. Road games may not have this provided, that is up to the individual school and their capabilities. All athletes need to provide their own water.
Workers put on the final touches to the Jones Tennis Facility project prior to the dedication ceremony Thursday at KMHS.
JONES From Page 1B the old lights and moving them to the middle school courts, and waiving all permit fees. Brinkley said when the TD Club started fund-raising for the new tennis field house, he put out the word they were looking for a lead donor. “Just two days later I got a call from the Jones family and they said they would like to be the lead donor,” he said. “Later, the cost escalated and I had to call them back and they accepted it without hesitation.” Brinkley, who was a teacher and coach at KMHS before going into private business, recalled many special moments with Bob Jones both in school and as members of the coaching staff. He said the Brinkleys lived across the street from the Joneses and about every day there was a small boy knocking on his door asking him to come outside and play basketball with him. That
young lad, Bryan Jones, is now Brinkley’s son-in-law. “The Jones Tennis Building is a fitting name,” Brinkley noted. “Bryan was a phenomenal tennis player, an All-American at UNC. And Brad was a good athlete. He played football and tennis. Brad’s senior year and Bryan’s freshman year, they played doubles together, won the Regionals and made it to the state semi-finals. “But Barbara is the unsung hero of the Jones Family,” he noted. “She had home cooked meals and sandwiches at every tennis match. She is just as important as the guys who accomplished these feats. I have always loved and appreciated the Jones Family.” Brad Jones, now a banker in Charlotte, said it is amazing what’s being done at KMHS. “When I was a kid I’d walk down Ed Guy’s street and come down here to play tennis. You’d have to wait your turn because there were so many people out here playing tennis. It’s fabulous
Dr. Stephen Fisher, Superintendent of Cleveland County Schools, accepts ownership of the new Jones Tennis Building on behalf of the school system. to know that the community will benefit from these facilities. It may produce a US. Champion one day.” Bryan Jones also thanked the school and community for the facilities. “They are unbelievable,” he noted. “They will help so many kids reach their dreams.
“When I was little, sometimes you’d have to wait 30 minutes or more just to get on the courts. Tennis was so popular back then. Now, this will give others the opportunity to reach their goals. This is a testament to the school and the community’s leadership.”

What Happens to Medicare if Obamacare is Overturned? Dear Savvy Senior, Will my Medicare benefits be affected if Obamacare is overturned by the Supreme Court? Concerned Beneficiary Dear Concerned, Unfortunately, yes. If the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – also known as Obamacare – gets repealed by the Supreme Court next year, it will weaken Medicare and increase costs for beneficiaries. Here’s what you should know. Currently, about 60 million people are covered under Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older and people of all ages with disabilities. Even though the main aim of the ACA was to overhaul the health insurance markets, most people don’t realize that the law also touches virtually every part of Medicare. Without the ACA, Medicare beneficiaries will have to pay more for preventive care services, which are now free; they’ll have to pay more toward their prescription drugs; their premi-
ums and deductibles will rise faster; and Medicare will face insolvency much sooner because of lost funding and cost cutting measures. With the help of Kiplinger’s Retirement Report, here is a more detailed breakdown of what happens to Medicare if the court invalidates the law. Preventive care services will no longer be free: Thanks to the ACA, there’s no copayment or deductible for potentially life-saving screenings for cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. Flu shots and annual wellness visits are also free. Before the ACA, beneficiaries had to pay 20 percent of the cost for most preventive care services, after their deductible was met. The doughnut hole will return: Since 2011 the ACA has been steadily closing the prescription drug coverage gap, also known as the doughnut hole, in Medicare Part D by requiring drug manufacturers and insurers to pick up more of the cost. The hole was finally closed this year with seniors paying 25 percent of the cost for both generic and
brand-name medications and manufacturers picking up 70 percent of the tab, while insurers kick in the remaining 5 percent. Before the ACA, seniors paid 100 percent of Part D prescription drug expenses while in the doughnut hole. Medicare premiums and deductibles will rise faster: The ACA also curbed Medicare payments to providers to help keep Medicare Part A deductibles and copayments in check. Similarly, Part B premiums and deductibles are much lower than projected before the ACA became law. From 2011 to 2020, Part B premiums increased 23 percent. From 2000 to 2009 – the nine years before the law’s passage – Part B premiums rose almost five times faster, increasing 112 percent over that period. Medicare Advantage plans will be more expensive: The ACA requires Medicare Advantage plans to spend 85 percent of premium dollars on health care, not profits or overhead. The plans also can’t charge more than traditional Medicare for chemotherapy, renal dialysis, skilled
nursing care and other specialized services. Those restrictions dramatically lowered costs for Medicare Advantage plan enrollees. Since the ACA became law in 2010, the average Medicare Advantage premium has decreased by 43 percent while enrollment has increased 117 percent. Insolvency accelerates: The ACA extended the solvency of the program’s trust fund by eight years to 2026, mostly by finding new sources of revenue and slowing the growth of payments to all providers. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that reversing those changes would cost the program $700 billion over 10 years, which would make Medicare almost immediate insolvent.

be strong include Lily Gold, Emma Goff, Meile Songaila, Myracle Davis and Andrea Melton. Byers, a junior, will be starting for the third year and should be a terror on the net. If she is not the best player in the area, as baseball great Dizzy Dean used to say she’s “right up there amongst them.” “We have a lot of girls who are close to six feet tall, and she is one of them,” Coach Pasour noted. “Our front line is pretty tall. Our shortest girl up there is 5-9. “Our blocking is going to be extremely good. Aaliyah and Meila (Songaila) play outside and they’re nasty. Freshman Myracle Davis is very good, too. She’s 5-10 and jumps really high.” To be frank, Pasour said she is not preaching a conference championship this year. “Our goal is to be a state championship contender. We definitely should go far in the playoffs because of our depth and hitting. “To be honest, we’re practicing for the playoffs because the season is so short. We’re always going to be competitive.” Since the number of matches allowed in a season have been cut because of the pandemic, Pasour scheduled two of the top non-conference teams in the area in Audrey Kell and Lincoln Charter. “Fewer people will make the playoffs, so you’re going to get the hardest competition beginning in the first round,” she noted. “There will only be 32 teams where in the past it’s been 64.” Normally, the volleyball season would be over by now. Pasour pointed out that, if the season occurred as usual the state championship would have been played last Saturday. “So, we’re looking to the state,” she said. “My first year here we had eight seniors and made a good run, but we’ve been on the rebound ever since. Now we have good volleyball down to the fifth grade. Now we’re getting solid replacements for those who graduated. Our program is finally to the point of being solid every year.” The coaching staff hasn’t changed in Payour’s tenure. Her assistants are Lindsay Ellis, Mandy Hamrick and Nicholas Inman.

Kings Mountain High volleyball could have its best team in Sara Pasour’s five years as head coach this season. The Lady Mountaineers dominated the conference in Pasour’s first season, but the last three years have not been as powerful. They’ve been trading first place about every year with county rival Crest. This year the team is blessed with a tall front line and good players at every position and should be a strong contender in the Big South Conference and the state 3A playoffs. “We’re definitely much stronger than we were last year” when the KM ladies finished second to Crest in the BSC, Pasour said. “I expect us to finish strong and make a run in the state playoffs.” Practice hasn’t been normal because of COVID restrictions, but Pasour said what the ladies have done they’ve done very well. “We’ve had what I would call semi-normal practices,” she said. “We’re able to block and everything now. We started tryouts last week with masks and social distancing.” The Lady Mountaineers can scrimmage but cannot have an entire practice. “We will have our first game this week (a scrimmage against South Point Nov. 12) but fans won’t be allowed in the gym,” she noted. “We can only have 25 fans in the gym and that will be parents.” The regular season begins November 18 with the Lady Mountaineers hosting Stuart Cramer. Because of COVID, there will be only two non-conference matches, at Audrey Kell on December 4 and at Lincoln Charter in Denver on Dec. 30. “We’re just playing two games a week, and we’re just playing a conference regular season and no tournament,” she noted. “The playoff berths have been cut in half so only the top two regular season teams will go to the playoffs. With no visiting fans in the stands, every team will have a home team advantage.” Pasour is carrying 11 players on varsity. Most of them are veteran players and all of them are really good players, she noted. Returning starters are Aaliyah Byers, Emma Goff, Paige Bagwell and Kyann Crocker. Others who will

ing focus. The upward orientation of the icon symbolizes our strong emphasis on students’ aspirations and our commitment to helping students move forward with their educational and career goals.” CCC has kicked off its "Same Great College, Brand New Look” campaign to introduce the new logo to the community and build public awareness through social media, email and billboard advertising. “With the unveiling of any new logo,” Dr. Hurst noted, “it takes time to build a brand. We are excited to come out of the gates with strong messaging to show the community our new look.”
Cleveland Community College is excited to unveil its first new logo since the 1990s. The logo consists of an icon and word mark (“Cleveland Community College”). The selection of the new logo capped a months-long process of reviewing more than 50 designs. The new identity features a clean, dynamic design whose blue and green colors complement CCC’s Yeti Athletics icon and word mark. CCC President Jason Hurst described the extensive process of selecting a new logo, saying, “After carefully reviewing numerous designs, we chose one that we feel best represents the College’s forward-look-

National Museum of the Army opens November 11 The US Army plans to open the National Museum of the United States Army on Veterans Day, November 11. Building construction and exhibit installations are now complete, and the museum is ready to open its doors to the public for the first time. The National Museum of the U.S. Army, located on a publicly accessible area of Fort Belvoir, Virginia, will be the first and only museum to tell the entire history of the U.S. Army since its establishment in 1775. “The U.S. Army and the American Soldier forged the birth of our nation,” said Secretary of the Army, Ryan D. McCarthy. “The National Army Museum will be a place for members of the total Army family to gather and share their stories, while also creating an opportunity for visitors to connect with our nation’s history through the eyes and voices of individual Soldiers.” The museum’s Experiential Learning Center will provide visitors of all ages a
unique opportunity to participate in hands-on, educational and team-building activities in the areas of geography, science, technology, engineering and math. “The museum is stunning, and it is an honor to present this history in a way that shows the connection between the American Soldier, the U.S. Army and the nation,” said the museum’s director, Ms. Tammy E. Call. The museum will open with enhanced health and safety measures for visitors. Free, timed-entry tickets are required to manage visitor capacity and provide an optimal experience to visitors. “We have worked hard to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors, and we are excited to open the doors of this longawaited national museum,” added Call. The museum is a joint effort between the U.S. Army and the Army Historical Foundation, a non-profit organization. The AHF constructed the building through private funds, and the U.S.
Army provided the infrastructure, roads, utilities and exhibit work that transformed the building into a museum. The Army owns and operates the museum, and the AHF manages retail, catering and special events. “The Army is people. They are our greatest strength and our most important weapon system,” said the Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. James C. McConville. “The National Museum of the United States Army is designed to tell the compelling and heroic stories of our people and take visitors on an exciting journey through the history of the U.S. Army as told through the American Soldiers’ point of view.” The opening will be pre-
ceded by a small ceremony that will be livestreamed to encourage people around the world to participate in this historic moment. A link to the livestream will be posted on the museum’s website and social channels as soon as it’s available. For more information, please visit http://www. theNMUSA.org. For inquiries on the National Army Museum, its holdings, site, tours and tickets, please contact the National Museum of the U.S. Army Public Affairs at (202) 246-1610. A virtual grand opening ceremony is scheduled on Nov. 11 at 2 pm. To view the ceremony, visit https://www. dvidshub.net/webcast/25129.
Roberts receives Eagle Scout rank Troop 92 has been active in some form or fashion in Kings Mountain since 1935. During that time, over forty Scouts have achieved Scouting's highest rank, the Eagle Scout. On August 8, 2020, Troop 92 awarded their first Eagle rank to an African American Scout. Jalen Marek Roberts began Boy Scouts in 2011. During that time he spent many nights camping, canoeing, hiking, working on merit badges, and serving his community. He also began diligently working on his Trail to Eagle. Roberts' Trail to Eagle culminated in his Eagle Scout Project. The Eagle Scout Project is designed to be a project that provides a community service and leave a lasting legacy. The Eagle Scout candidate is expected to plan, lead, acquire financing for, allocate resources to, and carry out the project.
Roberts worked with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office to help them implement a video surveillance registration system. Roberts designed fliers that would be disseminated throughout the county to notify the people about the program and detail how they could get involved. Roberts coordinated groups of volunteers to hand deliver the fliers to several neighborhoods in the Kings Mountain area. Roberts earned twenty six merit badges during his Scouting career. In addition to being an Eagle Scout, he was an excellent student at Kings Mountain High School. He was involved in music and athletics. He holds several school records in Track and Field. He is currently attending the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia.

UNC’s spring plan: some in-person instruction, limited dorm space The University of North Carolina plans to house about 3,500 students in single-occupancy rooms in dorms and Granville Towers for the spring semester and to teach some in-person classes. Most classes with more than 35 students, however, will be taught remotely. Classes will start Jan. 19, and UNC will forego spring break in anticipation of continued disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, planning instead for five break days incorporated into the calendar, either individually or in clusters. The last day of classes will be May 5; Commencement is scheduled for May 16. There will be mandatory reentry and regular COVID19 evaluation testing for
students, faculty and staff. Details on frequency, administration and processing of the tests have not been announced. All plans could change, as they did dramatically when the University shut down in-person instruction and most dorms in the first week of fall classes. About 1,500 students with special circumstances have remained in on-campus housing this fall. On-campus rates of COVID-19 infection by mid-October were negligible. UNC will offer five modes of instruction for the spring: two in-person and three remote modes of synchronous and asynchronous learning. Deans are working with their schools and depart-

The university will be able to accommodate a limited number of courses with up to 50 students for in-person modes of delivery based on the needs of the course. Generally, priority for in-person courses will be

given to classes designed to allow first-year students to explore a discipline; classes designed to provide seniors opportunities to enroll in capstones, seminars and specialized topics; and classes at any level that especially benefit from hands-on, in-person instruction. Normal dorm capacity
plus Granville is 9,500. Besides offering only single-occupancy rooms, UNC plans to expand quarantine and isolation spaces. Carolina Housing is sending information to all current residents and those who previously held housing contracts. Decisions about who will be able to live in the limited dorm space
have not been announced. Decisions on in-person and remote courses are linked with those regarding on-campus residency and testing. Registration appointments for the spring will begin Nov. 30 and continue through Jan. 25.
