Trinity Church helps others through ministry By Loretta Cozart Thanks to the support of Trinity Church, King’s Daughters Ministry (KDM) raised $40,000 at their annual fundraiser and dinner benefitting their women’s shelter. The event was held a mile North of Kings Mountain at Trinity Barn on Kristie Lane on September 14. KDM’s mission is to provide a safe and loving environment that fosters spiritual growth, emotional healing, and practical education to hurting women 18 – 40 years of age, and their children. Program participation is voluntary and provides 24-hour supervision that is free to participants. Trinity Barn is an outreach program for Trinity Church, which sits across
the road from the barn. Due to the hard work and vision of Denise Miller, who took on the job of building a playground adjacent to the barn after completing a project for her father, the barn has transformed into a social space for weddings and events. “My dad wanted to put a playground over here,” Miller said. “So, I started building the playground. The next thing I knew, I had started working on the barn and Cleveland County Community Service let me have community service workers, so now we can host events like the King’s Daughters Ministry and help them raise funds.” KDM Board Member Ron Smith said, “As a nonprofit, we are so grateful because it is tough to find See TRINITY, Page 7A

Veronét Vineyards and Winery opens Friday By Loretta Cozart On Friday, September 27, Veronét Vineyards and Winery opens officially to the public. Kings Mountain’s newest business is located at 1549 Ike Brooks Drive. The 6,300 square-foot main winery building is accented by a wall of oversized glass doors that highlight the vineyard and mountain views, and features an expansive open floor-plan tasting room, a 28-foot main bar and 20foot secondary bar, a private tasting room with floor to ceiling wine cellaring, and a 70-foot outdoor patio. The property includes the main winery, outdoor patio, and large outdoor space overlooking the vineyards. The vineyards, set with southern exposure and home to constant south-westerly winds, are planted on a gentle slope and accented by towering
pines, Crowders Mountain, and Kings Mountain Pinnacle. The nearly 5 acres of plantings are made up of Cabernet Franc, Viognier, and Chambourcin vines. The Sullivan family is excited to welcome their first estate harvest in the fall of 2020, and currently works to produce the healthiest vines while maintaining minimal impact on the land through a reduced use of chemicals and a variety of manual processes. The property and winery will initially be open only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for guests to sample a selection of eight wines that the family sourced through vineyard and winery partnerships throughout the United States, allowing them to focus on cultivating their first estate-produced vintages in 2021. “By using more environmentally friendly controls we know we are helping to protect our vineyard for future generations,” explained Sullivan. “You may see a few more weeds

We offer a variety of local craft beers, hot and
cold teas, and allow outside food at the vineyard. We hope guests will spend an afternoon with us ejoying cheese board or picnic while taking-in the scenic views our vineyard offers,” said Monique Sullivan, Founder and Managing Partner of Veronét.

My shirts are size XXXXXXL, which the big-and-tall stores shorten to 6X. I’m 6-foot-1, or 73 inches tall. My waist is 60 inches around. I’m nearly a sphere.” In “The Elephant in the Room: One Fat Man’s Quest to Get Smaller in a Growing America,” Tomlinson speaks to all of us who have trouble resisting Krispy Kreme doughnuts, bowls of ice cream, M&M’s, hot dogs, cinnamon biscuits, and Chips Ahoy cookies, all the while being worried about getting or staying fat.

some suggestions for one, exercise. Federal health officials recommend 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity every day. Daily prayer or meditation can make a big difference. An old song says, “Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.” Waldinger also states the importance of breathing. “Watch your breathing; people who get upset a lot breathe very rapidly and shallowly and it creates more anxiety. Breathing slowly from the abdomen helps slow the stress response,” he says. Waldinger said, “Don’t overdo alcohol. An extra drink seems to relax you but will only disturb your sleep and will act as a depressant.” Since money is such an American issue be on the lookout for a better paying job and be willing to prepare, train, educate and even relocate in order to move up in the financial pay scale.

Thirsty Thursday Women’s Ministry celebrates third anniversary
I will always love you
Thirsty Thursdays Women’s Ministry will celebrate their third anniversary on Saturday, September 28th at 5:00 pm at Mauney Memorial Mountain Library, located at 100 South Piedmont Avenue, Kings Mtn. There will be dynamic teaching, praise and worship, fellowship, and a good time of celebrating what the Lord has done through this women’s ministry. This event is free. Everyone is invited to attend. Please bring a covered dish.
Whitn e y Houston m a d e famous D o l l y Parton’s song “I Will Alw a y s DR. JONATHAN M. BUNDON L o v e Worship Pastor Y o u , ” First Baptist Church in 1992. S i n c e then it has been one of the most popular songs ever. Why? Certainly, Whitney’s iconic voice has something to do with it. But I believe it speaks to our deeper human needs and emotions. There is a
relatability to love songs in general. Hence, the list of love songs grows at an incredible rate. I propose the reasons we relate to so many love songs is this, as humans, we are created to need love and be loved. To be sure, there are different kinds of love which we do not have time to get into today. The love we share as people is imperfect and not always reliable — couples “fall” in and out of love. The good news, however, God’s love for each of us is unwavering. God does not love us one day and rejects us the next. God’s covenant remains faithful, even when
and false ideas. If we look in the book of Psalms, however, we will find songs which give us a real understanding of everlasting love. Psalm 136 reminds us to “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” The love referred to here is not the kind of love that fizzles out. The love of God is not the kind that changes depending on emotions. The word love in this passage means “loyal covenantal” love that can never be broken. If you come away with only one thought from this brief note, remember God saying, “I will always love you.”
we are not. John reminds us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). God loves us even when the cost is substantial. God’s love for us does not mean for the future only but here on earth as well. With this in mind, think about the love God shows us each day. “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are (1 John 3:1)! Today, there are too many love songs that give unrealistic expectations

Harkness Exhibit ends Friday at Southern Arts Society in KM Friday September 27 is the last day to view paintings by Anne Harkness at Southern Arts Society. “Wonder” features works covering many of Anne Harkness’ evolving series of paintings - Hometown America, Diptychs, Figure, Man vs. Nature, Small Works, and Nature. The more than 50 paintings on exhibit make an impressive showing of Harkness’s scope of work, giving viewers a strong sense of her style and depth as an artist. Working from her love of subject matter with a strong design element, Harkness focuses on the importance of line and shape in her work as a means of giving her compositions a strong foundation to reveal the many layers within each piece. Anne credits her emphasis on these particular components to her love of drawing and a desire to retain the looser marks that give a piece a more rustic, unfinished quality. A native of NC, Anne Harkness is an alumnus of the Atlanta College of Art and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from The Maryland Institute, College of Art. Her work as an art director in NYC for 15 years has embodied her work with a graphic element that astute viewers can detect in her paintings. As a contemporary artist, Anne seeks to
Race to Color by Anne Harkness capture a distinct point of view, often finding unexpected beauty in locations or views others would easily dismiss as ordinary, or too unattractive to be considered as the subject matter for artistic compositions. Harkness has been featured in American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur and International Artist Magazines. She is represented by Ava Gallery, Carteret Contemporary Art, Crossnore Arts Gallery, Providence Gallery, and Vision Gallery. Anne currently lives in Mooresville, NC Southern Arts Society (SASi) Gift Shop & Gallery

Hoyle Homestead Open House By Loretta Cozart The Hoyle Historic Homestead, in Gaston County, held its annual open house on Saturday, September 14 at 1214 Dallas Stanley Highway in Dallas, North Carolina. Many Hoyle families in the area descend from this Hoyle family. The home was open for viewing and various activities including vendors, music, and historical organizations had displays to promote preservation locally. The Hoyle House is important to Gaston County because it is the oldest residence in the county and displays a construction method, heavy timber frame with log infill, seen elsewhere in the mid-Atlantic Germanic settlement areas but not hitherto identified in North Carolina. The Hoyle House stands on a hill overlooking the South Fork of the Catawba River. It is a sturdy, twostory house sheathed in weatherboards and exhibiting important German American construction features. Family traditions states that the house was built in the mid-eighteenth century. With at least three additions, it is difficult to determine its exact age. According to the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form,
Scene from the Hoyle Homestead Open House. Photo provided “Whatever the details of its chronology, this complex and extraordinary house adds significantly to the story of German American architecture in North Carolina, and promises to enrich that story further as additional research becomes possible.” The Hoyle Historic Homestead is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization, the Hoyle Historic Homestead, Inc. was formed in 1991 to
purchase and preserve Gaston County’s oldest residence. In 1993, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The organization has raised and continues to raise funds from memberships, donations and from grants to enable it to preserve the buildings and grounds.

AUTHORS From Page 4A (October 20, 22) In her 14th novel for young adult/teen readers, “The Rest of the Story,” Sarah Dessen introduces us to Emma, whose father is taking his new wife on a long honeymoon trip to Europe. Emma’s mother is dead, but somehow Emma winds up with her mom’s family in a working class section of a resort called North Lake, where her mom grew up. Her dad’s family had vacationed in a
wealthier section. Emma’s struggles to find a place in her mother’s family along with the usual adjustments required of a teenaged woman make for an inspiring story. There is a strong sense of place in North Lake, which Dessen says was inspired by her family’s vacation trips to a popular North Carolina vacation spot, White Lake, in Bladen County. (October 27, 29) All four books have inspired this North Carolinian to put his life’s challenges in perspective.

KM at Cramer for first BS game Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will open their third season in the Big South 3A Conference Friday night when they travel to Cramerton to take on the Stuart Cramer Purple Storm. Cramer is coming off a big loss to rival South Point, but the Mountaineers cannot afford to take them lightly. After last year’s Shelby game, which was a narrow 28-23 loss at Shelby, the Mountaineers suffered a letdown and Cramer almost pulled a big upset the next week at Gamble Stadium. “We can’t have a letdown,” said KM coach Greg Lloyd. “We will have to get off cloud nine and be ready to play. The conference games decide how you’re going to be seeded for the playoffs so we have to do our best every Friday night. This is a good, tough conference and we can’t look past anybody.” Cramer has changed its offense, becoming more of an option and ball-control team. The Mountaineers can’t afford to allow them to keep the ball away. “They played us a really good game last year,” he said. “They played us really tough.” The Storm is running a 4-4 defense and will try to confuse the KM offense by blitzing a lot. “They’ve been one of the toughest teams in the Big South the last couple of years,” he noted. The Mountaineers may be without the services of big tight end Bryce Fisher but right now it’s a wait and see situation, Lloyd noted. Fisher injured his knee late in the Shelby game. “I don’t think it’s major,” Lloyd said. “He may miss a little time but I hope not.” Kings Mountain will welcome back last year’s leading rusher Ricyalen Mack, who had knee surgery at the Easter See BS GAME, Page 3B
A ‘Moment to Remember’
Mountaineers declaw Shelby Lions 42-17 “The New Year’s Eve we did the town, the night we tore the goalposts down, we will have these moments to remember.” – From 1955 hit song “Moments to Remember” by the Four Lads. When players from the current Kings Mountain football team gather for future class reunions you can be sure one of the great moments they’ll remember from their high school days will be Friday’s 42-17 victory over their arch rival and defending state 2A champions, the Shelby Golden Lions. The Mountaineers took most of the roar out of the Lions early when they drove for a touchdown on their first possession and then continued to pile up yardage and points for their fifth straight win heading into the start of their conference season this week. Shelby, undefeated since last year’s narrow victory over the Mountaineers in Shelby, fell to 3-1 after three high-scoring victories to open its season. The Mountaineer defense set the tone early when it held the Lions to three-andout on the game’s opening series, and the offense immediately went to work by driving 57 yards in just five

Brooks would finish with two touchdowns and 138 yards rushing and junior quarterback Ethan Reid continued to put up big numbers, throwing for 296 yards and the other five touchdowns to join the KMHS 1,000-yard club with 1,140 yards passing and 15
touchdowns. The Mountaineers finished with over 400 yards total offense for the fifth straight week, and their defense recorded six sacks which resulted in the Lions gaining only nine yards on the ground. The bulk of the Shelby offense came from quarterback Isaiah Bess who threw for 185 yards and both
of the Lions’ touchdowns. “We had a solid game,” noted KM Coach Greg Lloyd. “That’s the best we’ve played and we needed to because Shelby was the best team we’ve played. They are so talented. “We played extremely hard and executed well. Both the offensive and defensive lines did a great job.

Kings Mountain scored on four straight possessions in the second half to turn a 22-13 halftime lead into a 48-19 rout of the Shelby Lions in JV football action Thursday night in Shelby. The Mountaineers probably could have scored on all five of their second half possessions after JJ Thurman returned a kick 52 yards to the Shelby eight after the Lions scored their final TD with just over a minute remaining. Not wanting to rub it in, the Mountaineers took a knee twice to run the clock out. Kings Mountain trailed only briefly at 7-6 when the Lions were successful on a PAT following Dashon Jones’ 24-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.

JVs From Page 1B at the half. The second half was a different ballgame, though, as it was Shelby’s turn to make mistakes and KM’s turn to take advantage of them. The Lions were successful in holding KM to three and out to open the third period, but the Lions fumbled the punt and KM recovered at the Lions 35. It took just three runs by Caleb Holland to cover the 35 yards with his TD covering the final 28 yards around right end. He also ran the two-point con-
version to run the margin to 30-13. AJ Richardson snuffed a fourth and one first down try by the Lions and KM took over at the Shelby 33. Again, it was a three-possession drive with JJ Thurman covering the final 26 yards to run the score to 36-13. Cameron Rhom recovered a Shelby fumble on the last play of the third quarter and Ellis finished off a 50-yard, six-play drive with a one-yard plunge and a 42-13 lead. His nine-yard run set it up. The Mountaineer defense forced another three and out. Two plays later Thurman broke off left tackle for a 48yard touchdown run and a 48-13 lead.

The Lions were successful on a 37-yard field goal by Caden Sheely to cut the margin to 14-3 on the second play of the second quarter; and another drive stalled at the KM 47 and they punted to the 15. On KM’s first play, Reid faked a play action to Kobe Paysour and hit Quintin Davidson all alone down the home sideline for an 85yard catch and run TD. KM was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct but the Mountaineers got a perfect snap, perfect placement and a perfect 35-yard kick by Alex Browning for the PAT and a 21-3 lead. The Lions were able to

KM, which had won the pre-game coin toss but deferred until the second half, got a 38-yard return from James Ussery to set up a 50-yard, eight-play drive that ended with Davidson’s
26-yard reception for a 28-10 lead. Shelby answered with a 50-yard drive to cut the margin to 28-17 on Daley’s 11-yard reception. KM came right back downfield, though, with Ussery taking a pass from Reid on the Shelby 33 and side-stepping a couple de-
fenders to run the score to 35-17. Penalties and good defense hurt both teams for the remainder of the quarter but KM rallied early in the fourth quarter to put the game away on a 32yard Reid to Paysour pass. Shelby was able to get only one first down after that.
Lloyd noted. “But we’re going to try to get Mack in the game. We might play both of them at the same time and see how that works out. We’ll feel it out a little bit.” Brooks, a sophomore, has been an exciting addition to the varsity roster
after leading the JVs in rushing last year. He has had good rushing numbers in every game. “Rashaard has played super and has earned his job,” Lloyd said. “Having Ricaylen back will only make us better.” Kings Mountain also
benefitted last week from the presence of transfer junior defensive back Chaz Armstrong, who was injured before the first game. He made a lot of tackles and pass breakups. “He did a good job,” Lloyd noted. “He’s going to be a big asset.”

Natural Gas Awareness and Safety Natural Gas Awareness and Safety Notice “City of Kings Mountain Natural Gas Division” The City of Kings Mountain owns and operates a natural gas system that provides service to industrial, commercial, and residential customers in and around the city limits of Kings Mountain for use in manufacturing, space heating, water heating, and cooking, etc. Kings Mountain’s natural gas pipelines quietly, reliably and efficiently deliver natural gas throughout the City for domestic and industrial use. As part of the greater industry’s 2.3 million miles of natural gas and liquid pipelines, Kings Mountain operates natural gas distribution and transmission pipelines that safely deliver large quantities of energy to fuel the economy and keep us warm every day. Pipelines are the safest and most cost effective way of delivering energy in existence. The City of Kings Mountain would like to inform residents about the accident prevention efforts that are undertaken to maintain the excellent pipeline safety record of the industry. Kings Mountain inspects mains and services that are excavated as well as monitors above-ground piping for corrosion. We apply and monitor corrosion prevention measures to prevent steel from deteriorating below ground and regularly patrol surface conditions for hazards to the pipelines. We also use leak detection equipment that can detect the tiniest quantity of gas to determine whether a leak may exist below ground. Equipment is inspected and maintained regularly as well, including below-ground emergency valves. In its “natural” state, natural gas is colorless and odorless. The natural gas received by the City of Kings Mountain for its distribution system is mixed with an odorant, so it is easier to recognize a natural gas pipeline release. The odorant added to the natural gas gives the gas a distinctive smell, often described as “rotten egg”. The City monitors the existence of this odorant to ensure its presence. Accidental releases of gas do occasionally occur, and in addition to the distinctive smell, other indications of a release may be a hissing sound, roaring sound, or blowing of dirt or dust. Persistent bubbles in water or pools of liquid with possible bubbling can also indicate a pipeline leak. If you smell, see or hear any indications of possible natural gas leak, please call the City of Kings Mountain’s Natural Gas Division at 704734-4516 or emergency officials at 911 immediately. If there is an unintended release of gas, the main hazard is the chance of fire or explosion. If you have a gas release situation, immediately walk away, warning others to stay away or leave the area. Extinguish all sources of ignition such as, open flames, cell phones, pagers, motor vehicles or any other item that may cause a spark or static discharge. From a safe location contact the City of Kings Mountain at the number listed above or emergency officials. The leading cause of accidental release of gas is due to damage of a below ground line by someone performing excavation or earth moving. The “ONE-CALL” system was setup to help prevent this hazard. If you dig, please contact the NC One-Call Center toll free at 811 or log on to the website http://www.nc811.org to request a location of underground utilities. North Carolina STATE LAW requires that excavators give at least a 3-Day Notice (3 full working days not including the day of the call) prior to excavation. If you have any other questions or concerns about the City’s natural gas system, pipeline safety, or how to recognize or report a pipeline leak please give our office a call at 704-734-4516 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Sincerely, Nick Hendricks Jr. Assistant City Manager / Energy Services City of Kings Mountain, NC

Pickleball Tournament draws teams to KM By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain Family YMCA held a Pickleball Tournament Friday, September 13 and Saturday, September 14, drawing 90-plus people during the two-day event, including two teams from Pennsylvania. Friday’s play was for participants ages 50 – 59, 60 – 69, and 70+. Events on Saturday were open play by skill level: 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0+. “We have enjoyed having a local tournament here in Kings Mountain. It is nice to see so many people come together of all ages and play a sport that we all love,” said participant Steve Goforth. In the Men’s 4.0 plus division, Mark Rankin (Teal shirt) smashes the ball across the net toward Jeremy Simpson in white. Simpson’s teammate, Carl Clary, stands ready to assist.

Attention Volunteer Firefighters On August 27th, House Bill 597 was signed into law containing a key provision allowing any volunteer firefighter that has been an eligible member of any volunteer fire department for five consecutive years, including the prior fiscal year, to purchase any adult resident lifetime hunting or fishing license for a 50% discount. This fee reduction becomes effective on October 1. “This is a small but important token of appreciation for our volunteer firefighters,” said Representative John Bell and Senator Jim Perry. “It will also serve as a key recruitment and retention tool for volunteer firefighters that our communities so desperately need and rely on. We are hopeful that all eligible volunteer firefighters will take advantage of this great opportunity.”
Brian Johnson, in black, slams the ball across the net.
