238 CHEROKEE GRILL
238 Cherokee Grill and 238 Pizzeria
Restaurants add flavor to downtown Kings Mountain By Janet Hart, City of KM In 1982, Robert Bolin left his hometown of Kings Mountain to join the U.S. Army. After his tour of duty was over with the Army, he decided to move back home. “When you have a passion for your hometown, you want to help in any way that you can,” said Bolin. Since he loved food, Bolin decided to open a restaurant. The first restaurant was 238 Cherokee Grill which opened in 2010. Next, came 238 Pizzeria in 2016.
While both restaurants share some similarities, they are definitely different. 238 Pizzeria has a casual atmosphere and serves a variety of pizzas and Italian foods. Whereas, 238 Cherokee Grill is more upscale and serves steak, fish, burgers, wraps and salads. Both restaurants are located in downtown Kings Mountain, but 238 Cherokee Grill is not actually on Cherokee Street. It’s located at 222 S. Railroad Avenue next door to Patriots Park and 238 Pizzeria is located at 238
Cherokee Street. If you get confused, just follow the amazing smell of garlic, onion and Italian spices to either restaurant. The restaurants are only about a block apart. “Having both restaurants in downtown Kings Mountain is the primary reason for our success,” said Bolin. “We get tremendous business when the City of Kings Mountain has special events in the Park and festivals downtown.” In the past six months, the City of Kings Mountain has See 238, Page 5

Abdul Rashid Gangoo, M.D., F.A.C.P., an internist who subspecialized in infectious diseases, retired on August 1, 2020 after practicing medicine in Kings Mountain for forty-one years. Dr. Gangoo was born and raised in the city of Srinagar in the picturesque valley of Kashmir. He grew up with four siblings all of whom still reside in Srinagar. Upon graduating from Government Medical College, Srinagar in 1968, he was employed by the Indian government’s health services. In 1972, he moved to the United Kingdom and worked at Poole General Hospital in Dorset, England and later at St. David’s Hospital in Cardiff, Wales. He then immigrated to the United States in September 1973 and joined Long Island Jewish Medical Center’s medical residency program in Internal Medicine. He spent his first two years of residency at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens, New York City and his third year at Queens
DR. ABDUL RASHID GANGOO, M.D General Hospital. From 1976 to 1978, Dr. Gangoo was enrolled in a two-year fellowship training program in Infectious Diseases at Nassau County Medical Center (affiliated with the State University of New York at Stony Brook). After completing his fellowship, Dr. Gangoo and his wife Firdous left the hustle and bustle of New York City and moved to Cherryville, North Carolina in September
1978 before settling in Kings Mountain in March 1979. For Dr. Gangoo, the slower pace of life that Kings Mountain offered was a very welcome change from his years amidst the frenzy of New York City. “A calmer and quieter atmosphere is much more suited to my natural disposition and personality,” he says. Dr. Gangoo was the first internist in Kings Mountain and the first infectious diseases specialist in Cleveland County. He joined the medical staff of Kings Mountain Hospital (KMH), Cleveland Regional Medical Center, and two hospitals in Lincoln County. He established his medical practice at a clinic located at 810 W. King Street which he shared with Dr. George W. Plonk, a well-established and beloved surgeon, and has been seeing patients at the same location ever since. “It’s been an honor to serve the Kings Mountain community. I am so grateful See GANGOO, Page 5

Earthquake felt in Kings Mountain By Loretta Cozart
Suzette Ross and Chief Proctor.
A 5.1 magnitude earthquake occurred two miles south-southeast of Sparta, NC on Sunday, August 8 at 8:07 am, according to a preliminary report released by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Due to fault lines and the earthquake’s intensity, it was felt 127 miles away in Kings Mountain. Aftershocks are anticipated. Kings Mountain resident,
Becky Husky told the Herald, “I felt the bed shake and it woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I saw the blinds shaking in the window and knew immediately it was an earthquake. It isn’t the first earthquake we’ve had in Kings Mountain. In the ‘60s and ‘70s we had them a lot more often.” The earthquake was felt as far west as Kansas, as far north as Ottawa, Canada, and as far south as Marathon,
Florida, the USGS reported. According to the Great Southeast Shakeout, a website dedicated to earthquake preparedness, “On December 13, 1969, a minor earthquake with a noise like a sonic boom awakened many at Glenville. At Pickens, South Carolina, windows, doors, and dishes rattled slightly and many in the community were awakened. Moderate rumbling earth noises were heard. The See EARTHQUAKE, Page 5

Correction Several weeks ago, the Herald reported on the purchase of W.A. Mauney’s second home in Kings Mountain. The property was inadvertently identified as 107 N. Piedmont Avenue, when it should have been identified it as 106 N. Battleground Avenue. The error caused the current resident of 107 N. Piedmont Avenue, Julia Cooper Wilson, and her friends a great shock. The home at 107 N. Piedmont Avenue has continuously been owned by the descendants of Jacob S. Mauney and has not been sold. The Herald regrets the error.
The Cleveland County Board of Elections unanimously agreed on a OneStop Early Voting plan for the November 3 General Election. The plan calls for 167 hours of early voting at four sites located across the county. “The health and safety of everyone is top priority this year,” says Board Chair Douglas Sharp. “Opening four large sites with early morning, late evening, Saturday and Sunday hours will give voters every opportunity to safely cast a ballot.” Significant safeguards are planned to protect voters as they cast their ballot.

Sites will be professionally cleaned throughout the entire seventeen-day period and election workers will routinely sanitize all surfaces.

Famous and Infamous Women of North Carolina
KM Historical Museum free event August 15 - 23 K i n g s Mountain Historical Museum presents “Famous and Infamous Women of North Carolina” is an RANDELL JONES entertaining and lighthearted look at some noteworthy history—the roles and accomplishments of just a few remarkable women, among so many, in whom we can all take pride as being part of the fabric which makes North Carolina so special. This is a free online event presented by Randell Jones that will be available for viewing from August 15 to August 23. Link access will be posted on the museum Facebook page and Website the day the event
starts. These stories are especially welcomed as we celebrate in 2020 the centennial anniversary of Women’s Suffrage advanced with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The presentation features a woman disguised as a Civil War soldier, a couple of famous pirates, a daredevil aeronaut, an internationally famous sharpshooter, a first lady who really, really, really liked being married to the governor, whoever that happened to be, and two remarkable sisters who traveled the world entertaining heads of state but loved calling North Carolina home. All these tales and more are revealed and shared in a most enjoyable presentation of illustrated storytelling. Randell Jones is an
award-winning history writer, storyteller, and video producer, serving since 2007 as an invited member of the Road Scholars Speakers Bureau of the North Carolina Humanities Council. The stories he presents come from “Scoundrels, Rogues, and Heroes of the Old North State,” which was recently recorded as an audio book by the NC Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. During the last 15 years, his occasional history-based guest columns have appeared on the editorial pages of his home paper, the Winston-Salem Journal.

OPINION Pieces of Kings Mountain History TODAY’S QUOTE:
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
–Eleanor Roosevelt
By Loretta Husky Cozart As the COVID19 pandemic continues, we constantly forego birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries, funerals, LORETTA social events and COZART commemorative events in an attempt to slow the spread. This is our life in the new normal. While we can’t gather, we can remember. A significant event in local Revolutionary War history occurred on August 14 this month, the signing of the Tryon Resolves. Two-hundred and forty-five years ago, the Tryon Resolves were signed at the Tryon County Courthouse, an area now in Bessemer City. Christian Manuey built a pub-
lic house there that became the Tryon County Courthouse. One of his rooms was set aside as the county jail. In those days, Tryon County was quite large and encompassed modern-day Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland and Rutherford counties. When the Tryon Association gathered to form a Committee on Safety, the meeting was held at Christian Mauney’s home. On August 14th, 1775, during their meeting, they condemned the behavior of the British for actions taken toward citizens near Boston on April 19th and 20th, 1775, proclaimed their right to defend themselves if attacked, and ultimately expressed hope for a reconciliation. A century later, we would come to refer to this type of document as a “Resolve”. In this Resolve, they wrote (spelling not corrected), “The un-

LETTERS TO EDITOR Letter to Editor: My kids are grown, and while I can empathize with parents, learning about the school system’s plans to return has not put my life into DEFCON 4. I do believe, however, as a citizen of Cleveland County, it is my role to support these very difficult decisions by helping our community respond in the best way possible. Tearing down the decision and the decision makers serves no purpose. This is a serious time for serious people, and when it comes to decisions that affect the future of our children, we need a
thoughtful, well-planned, and serious response. My role in leading the Y is similar. I can’t spend my days hidden in my office worried about where our membership revenue has gone and how we will pay our bills. I have to stay focused on the mission and vision of our organization and ultimately respond to the needs of the community. Some days it feels like we should just set our strategic plan on fire, but at the same time, our vision and our values remain constant. And that vision and those values remain our focus and drive our
work to serve people first. As schools return, one critical area that cannot be ignored by our community, regardless of COVID-19, is the care of our children during the non-school hours. If we put our heads in the sand and just rely on individual ingenuity, we will quickly see the separation of the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS. Care for our children in the non-school hours is an economic issue. Most parents and guardians need to go to work. At the Y, we often use the tag line, “Kids at the Y help

Letter to Editor: On July 1, 2020, we began our 14th year of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club. This simple idea to help improve and support our athletes at KMHS has grown to incredible heights. Over the last 13 years, we have provided equipment, buses, uniforms, food, weight lifting equipment along with substantial improvements to our facilities. Last year we undertook a $2.3 million project that ended up being a $2.8 million project because of unknown difficulties. We just finished our 13th annual golf tournament which is our major fundraiser. In the first year, we raised slightly over $7500. Through a lot of effort in 2020, we just exceeded $87,000!! I have to admit, at times this is overwhelming, but this shows the support, loyalty, and love this community has for their children and the athletes at KMHS. We have had the opportunity to improve the facilities to be one of the best
in the state of North Carolina. Every team and coach now has a Field house or coach’s office provided. Our athletes have the opportunity to enjoy and compete at the highest level in our region and in the state of NC. All of this is due to many efforts from volunteers, coaches, administration, and our citizens and supporters. Our golf tournament had $62,000 in sponsorships. Another $9,000 was raised in teams that participated. There was another $1,000 in donations, and $15,000 was raised from the auction. The COVID virus forced us to try the online auction. After it was complete, I heard nothing but positive comments. It was a fun event that helped a great cause! We still have much work to do to pay off a $2.3 million loan over the next 60 months. We have been fortunate to have a good banking relationship with Fifth Third Bank. They recently underwrote our loan to help us with payments that are
manageable. As we pay down this loan, they have agreed to adjust the payments on a quarterly basis. We will need approximately $500,000 per year to pay principal and interest. With our current balances and pledges, we are in good shape for the next 12 months. Our challenge will be to continue to raise money for this debt and collect all pledges along with memberships and our annual golf tournament. I want to thank all of our sponsors, team participants, donors, volunteers, and the participants in our auction. You guys are incredible! From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for believing in our mission and that we can continue to march forward in improving the lives of our athletes and coaches at KMHS.
handing out bigger and bigger dilemmas for Americans every year. Families must consider community or junior college for the time being. Typically, federal grants will cover most of the costs of a community college. This should be considered seriously if the student is in the first two years of college and still taking traditional required classes or electives. You don’t need
to be spending or borrowing $30,000 to $50,000 a year if you are drowning financially. Commuting or taking online classes from the local community college may not seem very glamorous. However, we are talking about surviving financially and a year or two of local community college keeps the studies going without adding debt and more pressure.
Banks and finance companies should come up with a six-month system that allows the unemployed a break from making payments. The money is still owed and has to be paid back but with proof of unemployment the debtor gets a ‘bye’ for a few months as they try to regain financial stability. The government should See UNEMPLOYMENT, Page 7

GIFT From Page 1 President, Dr. William M. Downs. David and Marie Brinkley have provided GWU with financial gifts throughout the years with assistance for student-athletes, the Godbold School of Business and various other programs. “First, Marie and I enjoy good music. We both come from a small town where the marching band was an integral part of Friday night football. Today, the bands are more sophisticated and talented. When we read about this, we decided to help launch this project. I encourage others to get involved no matter what level. We cannot wait to hear the Gardner-Webb Marching Bulldogs,” said David Brinkley. Gardner-Webb previously fielded marching band programs in the

1940s, 1970s and most recently, from 20072017. Cole is currently recruiting musicians for the Marching Bulldogs, which will take the field in fall 2021, with hopes of having 75 members. Cole’s experience includes leading several high school marching band programs. During his career as a Navy musician, he served as musical director for the Midshipman Drum and Bugle Corps at the U.S. Naval Academy, director of the Navy Band Memphis, Tenn., director of the Sixth Fleet Band in Naples, Italy, and assistant director/associate conductor of the United States Navy Band in Washington, D.C. “There’s nothing quite like the sights, sounds, and pageantry of college football Saturdays here in the South,” added Downs. “With the return of the Marching Bulldogs to Spangler Stadium, we will elevate the gameday experience for our fans and
help create that 12th Man that all great football teams want on their home field.” David and Marie have lived in Kings Mountain, N.C. for several decades, and have two daughters who graduated from Gardner-Webb as student-athletes. David is also a former high school football coach, and operates the Brinkley Financial Group investment firm. The Gardner-Webb Bulldog Club will host the 7th Annual Bulldog Club Golf Tournament, on August 6 at Riverbend Golf Course in Shelby, N.C. Proceeds from the event will also benefit the Marching Bulldogs.

EARTHQUAKE From Page 1 quake affected an area of about 9,000 square kilometers in the two States.” “A similar earthquake occurred September 9, 1970, in the region around Boone. Slight damage from this shock was noted at Boone and Zionville. Intensity V effects were also noted at Blowing Rock, Deep Gap, New Hope, Patterson, and Sugar Grove,” the website reported. The website also reported that the first recorded earthquake in NC was in Bath on March 8, 1735. In 1874, McDowell county experienced series of 75 earthquakes in a two-month span. According to the USGS, the area sits among three seismic zones: Charleston, South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and central Virginia. Four smaller quakes

From Page 1 to have been warmly embraced by this town, and I am indebted to my patients for entrusting their medical care to me,” he shares. “The most heart-warming and rewarding part of practicing medicine in Kings Mountain has been forming and building long-standing relationships with patients and their families. Being able to treat three generations of a family is an incredibly unique experience. My patients have, in turn, treated me as a part of their family as well. There is a certain level of trust, rapport, and comfort that has developed over time,” he said. Dr. Gangoo served as President of the Cleveland
were felt in the Sparta area within the last week. Two earthquakes 2.6-magnitude or lower rumbled near Sparta on Saturday and early Sunday. Two more tremors struck a few miles from Seymour, Tennessee, last weekend, the USGS says. Local resident Jerry Ledford has his own theory on what causes earthquakes. In a note to the Herald, he wrote, “In 2011, I broke a tooth. Geeper (Howard) sent me to a guy in Gastonia, who because the tooth was broken, had to use a hammer and chisel to get it out. So he gave me Percocet pain killer, told me to start taking it before the numbness wore off, and to go home instead of back to work.” “Following his instructions, I took a Percocet and was stretched out on the couch that afternoon when I felt the couch move. I asked, ‘Why is this couch moving?’ My wife Sheila and my daughter Emily were
across the room, and they both looked at me like ‘You fool, you are so doped up!’, so I just shut up,” he shared. “Later that afternoon, Emily had to go to the drug store and as she was waiting for her prescription, she was watching the TV in the store. She called me all excited ‘Daddy, Daddy, there really was an earthquake!’ Turns out it was the Washington D.C. quake that damaged the Washington monument,” he said. “I've told this story many times since then with the punch line "Watch out for that Percocet, it causes earthquakes!" He continued, “I've had no occasion to take Percocet since 2011 until this past Saturday night, when, having back spasms, I took some. And, yes, first thing Sunday morning, we're rocked with the Sparta earthquake! "Watch out for that Percocet...it causes earthquakes!"
County Medical Society from 1998 to 1999. He has also held the position of Chief of the Medical Staff at Kings Mountain Hospital for several years. In 2007, he had the honor of being elected a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. The landscape of healthcare has changed drastically in the past several decades, including the management of small and rural hospitals. Dr. Gangoo witnessed this first-hand when Kings Mountain Hospital transitioned to Carolinas HealthCare System-Kings Mountain in 1995 and more recently to Atrium Health Kings Mountain. In 2015, Carolinas HealthCare System-Kings Mountain received national recognition when it had been named as one of the country’s “Top Rural Hospitals” by The
Leapfrog Group. Since 2015, however, certain patient services were gradually phased out, and more recently, the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit was downgraded to a Progressive Care Unit. “I would like to see specialized inpatient and outpatient services and the ICU return to the hospital once again so that it can better serve the needs of Kings Mountain. The care services a hospital provides ought to align with the needs of the community.” In addition to thanking all of his patients, Dr. Gangoo wishes to express his gratitude to his fellow physicians who have helped him with patient care. He is especially indebted to Dr. Everette Thombs, Dr. Martin Stallings, Dr. Christian Anderson, Dr. Cornelius Okonkwo, Dr. Temidayo Adelekun, and Sigrid Smith of Charlotte Area Health Education Center for their friendship and support. He also would like to thank all of the former and current nurses and technicians, hospital staff members, and hospital administrators. “Their tireless hard work and dedication made my job easier.” Last not but least, Dr. Gangoo is thankful for his office staff members: Julie McDaniel, Kathy Brooks, Janet Burns, Sherry Sellers, Amber Norman, and his wife Firdous for their invaluable contributions in caring for their patients. “This practice simply would not have been possible without them.” In his retirement, Dr. Gangoo plans to spend more time with his wife and children, Talia and Basit, and pursue his hobbies of gardening, woodworking, and painting. “I wish all of my patients and members of the community the best of health. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.”

The past is the past (Part 2 of “A New Beginning” series) I love to take out old pictures, scrapbooks, and videos of my sweet memories. Sometimes, I think about how fast time flies by and how quickly things change. I ponder over my accomplishments and then, I dwell on my mistakes and what might have been if I had done things differently. It’s OK to go down memory lane briefly for a moment of enjoyment, but it’s a waste of thoughts to beat ourselves up because things didn’t turn out like we wanted them to. If we let them, these thoughts can paralyze us, and we will find ourselves unable to move beyond what we perceive were the “good ole days.” Get Unstuck There’s a story in the Bible about a woman who was told that life as she knew it was over. She was warned to not look back at where she had been, but to look ahead. The angel states in Genesis 19:17, “...Don’t even look back. And don’t stop in the valley. Run to the hills, where you’ll be safe.” However, she looked back, and as a
result, her life was destroyed. I believe God does not want us to get stuck in the past. There is a reason we have two eyes in front of us instead of in the back of our heads. Our God-given viDANYALE PATTERSON sion is in front of us. In addition, in order to follow Jesus, we must pay attention and stay close. Just when we think we have figured out the direction he is going, God will do something different. Through this, he is teaching us to completely trust him and keep moving. Ponder on the following Scriptures about moving forward: “The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward.” - Exodus 14:15 “The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.” - Deuteronomy 1:6 “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you” -
Proverbs 4:25 “...I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us..” - Philippians 3:13-14 PRAY THIS PRAYER: “I will exalt you, my God and King. I will praise you every day. I will praise your name forever and ever. Forgive me for being preoccupied with my past accomplishments or mistakes. You want me to go from faith to faith and glory to glory. Lord help me to keep moving forward in you. I don’t want to get stuck in the past. Remind me that everything I do is for your glory. It is through you that I live, move, and have my very being. In Jesus’ name - Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

LETTER From Page 4 parents work without worry.” Employment buys the groceries, turns on the AC and pays the rent. Employment also allows our corporate community to survive and stay in business. By my estimation, working parents have budgeted around $2000 for the school year to provide after school care for their children. Moving to an alternating school environment adds another almost $2000 to the cost of child care. That equates to close to $250 a month they may not have. A financial burden that will force families to make some exceedingly difficult decisions. One example may be to allow a 10-year-old to stay home and supervise themselves and their younger siblings. Early in my Y career, a young child in my program lost his life because he was left unsupervised at home with a loaded handgun. Letting kids stay home alone is not a good solution. Unfortunately, there is also a huge risk in not starting back to school at all. The social, emotional and academic development of our children will be affected. If we ignore this issue, we will see a widening of the academic achievement gap. Our community already battles a summer learning loss challenge, but a full calendar year of learning regression could set our community back a decade. It is time for us all to step forward to offer innovative ideas, solutions, guidance, and help. Churches that have gyms need to offer the spaces to serve their neighborhoods. Adults with appropriate skills need to use those skills to help our children and youth. Families with resources need to give money and support community agencies that serve kids. Funders, municipalities, and the corporate community should explore ways to send our children back to school safely and provide financial support to the children and families who are in need. As a community, we should be broken hearted knowing that children are being lost and left behind because they can’t afford a social and emotional learning environment during the non-school hours. I implore everyone who reads this to search your own heart and find a way to be part of the solutions and help our community needs. “If not you, then who? If not now, then when?” Cameron Corder, CEO, Cleveland County Family YMCA

As the pandemic became an increasing threat, the company realized how critical and necessary it was to produce high quality PPE locally. As a result, Uniquetex’s sister company Ecoguard, Inc. was formed in February, with only one mission and that was to produce face masks. Both companies continue to provide high quality PPE during the coronavirus pandemic.

The namesake for the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter and Christian Mauney were among the signers of the Tryon Resolves. Many of these signers fought against the British at local battles, including Ramsour’s Mill, Musgrove’s Mill, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens. Many DAR and SAR members descend from these brave men. Many other local DAR Chapters honor these men by taking their names, too. General Cornwallis was on his way to help Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton at Cowpens when he
heard of Tarleton’s defeat. Cornwallis and his 4,000 men camped on the site of the Tryon County Courthouse during their retreat on January 23, 1781. Were it not for the surviving Tryon Resolves document, we might never know the risk our patriot ancestors took in the early years of the American Revolution. If you’d like to visit the location of the old Tryon County Courthouse, the Tryonota Volunteer Fire Department sits upon the spot. It is located at 2577 Tryon Courthouse Rd, Bessemer City, NC 28016.

Governor’s reopening plan may result in football being played in early 2021 North Carolina high school sports will be further delayed after Governor Roy Cooper’s announcement last week that Phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan will now be delayed until at least September 11. Kings Mountain, which has been holding fall sports workouts for several weeks, will be off this week and next and will resume workouts the week after the first full week of school. But, that doesn’t mean the Mountaineers will be playing anytime soon. The North Carolina
High School Athletic Association has announced that the start of school sports practice will be delayed beyond the previously announced date of September 1. Que Tucker, Executive Director of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, issued the following statement: “The NCHSAA Staff and Board of Directors will review all available options, seek input from SMAC, DPI, a sports Ad Hoc Committee, and announce a calendar for
playing sports during the upcoming school year. It is hoped that we can make this announcement prior to August 17, 2020. “We want to play sports during the upcoming school year and are making plans to do so; however, the health and safety of all participants, including coaches and other essential staff, will be a priority as decisions and plans are made.” KM athletic director Matt Bridges and head football coach Greg Lloyd are confident that all sports will be played, but some
fall sports such as football could be played after the first of the year. If football is played in the fall, there is speculation that it would be a seven-game regular season schedule and four playoff rounds. “We’ll keep doing workouts,” Lloyd said. “I do think we’re going to play football whether it’s in the fall or the spring. Right now we’re just kind of waiting.” There has been some talk that basketball could begin in November and go through January, and foot-
the fall, things like cross country, tennis and golf,” Bridges noted. “And then play everything else in the second semester. Things like volleyball, soccer and football are a higher risk. “We may have to create a third season (for sports like baseball and softball) during the spring semester. A lot of spring coaches also coach other sports,” Bridges noted. Bridges said he expects an announcement from the NCHSAA by the end of this week.

ball begin in February and end in early April. “Whenever we play we’ll have to look at it positively,” Lloyd said. “We’re going to have a good team. We want to play whenever we can play.” There has also been speculation that if football is played in the fall there would be no spectators, and no one wants to see that since football provides about 75 percent of the funds needed to fund a total athletic program. “We still hope to be playing low risk sports in

BBB offers tips for college student to avoid identity theft
As college students prepare to head back to campus in the next few weeks, and COVID-19 precautions are taking center stage, fighting fraud may not be at the top of their list of priorities. However, college students are very susceptible to identity theft; by establishing good habits for monitoring and detecting fraud, students can lay a path for healthy financial practices for the rest of their lives. The Better Business Bureau recommends that college-bound students take the following nine steps to fight identity theft on campus: ● Send sensitive mail to your permanent home or a post office box . School mailboxes are not always secure and often can be accessed easily in a dorm or apartment. ● Important documents should be stored away safely. This includes your US Social Security card, passport, and
Piedmont Council
Boy Scouts of America giving back Webelos den leader, Dave Evans, shared that the Piedmont Council of the Boy Scouts of America is asking for your help to support frontline workers who are giving so much during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The scouts are offering a BOGO, or a Buy one-give one, offer on their 2020 Camp Cards. These cards are only $10 each and provide tremendous savings and you will get your $10 back by just using a couple coupons. They have 16 different cards covering the eleven counties we serve of Western NC. If you don't live in one of these counties, you
can still help by donating your purchase and we will give two cards to frontline workers. Their goal is 500 cards donated . Help the scouts help those who have given so much during this difficult time. Buy them for yourself, your co-workers, your employees, friends and family. Together, we can make a huge difference.
https://www.piedmontcouncilbsa.org/discountcardsale “You can help make a difference in our communities by purchasing multiple cards for your friends, family, coworkers and / or employees. Again, thank you for your support of this council-wide program,” said Evans.

bank and credit card statements. Shred credit card offers and any paper documents that have sensitive financial information rather than just tossing them out. ● Never lend your credit or debit card to anyone. Just say no if your friend wants to borrow your card or asks you to co-sign for a loan or financing for items like a TV. When using an ATM or credit card machine, don't let anyone shoulder surf your personal identification number (PIN). ● Guard your passwords and don't give them out to anyone. Use strong passwords and don't use the same password for
all sites. ● Watch for phishing. Be vigilant and be careful of clicking on links in emails and texts; verify the content with the website. More on phishing scams. ● Make sure your computer has up-to-date antivirus and spyware software. Always install any updates and patches to your computer’s operating system or browser software, which help keep your computer safe from any new advances by identity thieves online. ● Always check your credit or debit card statements closely for any suspicious activity. The sooner you identify any poten-
tial fraud, the less you’ll suffer in the long run. ● Be careful when shopping online. Check out businesses on BBB.org. Look for the BBB Accredited Business seal; click on the seals to confirm that they are legitimate. ● Check your credit report at least once a year.
