NC lawmakers file federal lawsuit alleging backroom elections deal North Carolina lawmakers filed a federal lawsuit to stop “an alleged backroom MOORE elections deal struck by Democrats’ top D.C. attorney with his former client Gov. Roy Cooper and state Attorney General Josh Stein” on Saturday, according to a press release issued on September 26 by NC House Speaker Tim Moore.

The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order and follows a Friday press conference “that detailed the secret settlement reached by the Democratic Attorney General with a Democratic Party front group he recently gave the keynote address to at an annual convention - on elections.” A series of press releases this week by House Speaker Tim Moore laid out the case. The settlement comes after the State Board of Elections previously tried to rewrite absentee ballot laws in May but was unanimously rejected by the North Carolina Rules Review Commission. The Governor then filed a lawsuit seeking to disband the commission, which has

protected North Carolinians against executive overreach since 1986. In early September, a three-judge state court panel upheld absentee ballot laws the settlement now seeks to undo. The North Carolina legislature and Governor further approved the Bipartisan Elections Act of 2020 this summer, preserving and reforming many of the important absentee ballot. When confronted Friday regarding the settlement, “Attorney General Stein dismissed a reporter’s concerns as political noise,” the press release states. On Thursday, two Republican members of the State Board of Elections See LAWSUIT, Page 9

Historic Ware truck moved last week By January Costa, Director & Curator

On Wednesday, September 23, the W. A. Ware & Son Truck was moved from the old McGill’s Service Station located on E. King Street in downtown Kings Mountain. The service station property has been bought by Kaimesha Young to be used for her realtor business, so the truck needed to find a new home. For several years, the Kings Mountain Historical Museum has been using the building as a storage space to house its one of a kind collection piece. The truck was originally donated to the museum by Corky Fulton of Kings Mountain, and once restored by Terry Bowen of Kings Mountain in 2004. The Kings Mountain Historical Museum has just recently learned that the W. A. Ware Truck is a White Model 56 Truck built in February of 1927. Additionally, it was owned by the W. A.

Offenses Against God (5th & final part of the “Offense” Series) Some people are worried about what others think of them when they should be concerned about what God thinks. He is the sovereign and Holy God, the Creator of morality and truth. In Acts 4:19, Apostles Peter and John ask, “Which is right DANYALE PATTERSON in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judge.” Unfortunately, many have lost a reverential fear of God, because they believe they can take advantage of the Father’s grace and patience. They blasphemy his name, disobey his commandments and even turn others away from the faith in favor of doing whatever they please. This is an extremely dangerous position to be in. In Mathew 10:28 Jesus states, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” In addition, others grieve, resist, and quench the Holy Spirit instead of yielding and being sensitive to the Spirit. God’s desires and thoughts which are found in the Holy Scriptures must be a priority in our lives. The Bible reveals the Lord’s words and ways, and the Holy Spirit reveals his heart and plans.

Our heavenly Father is merciful and wants everyone to get it right. He waits for years, even generations for people to surrender to his love and perfect will for their lives - but he never forces anyone to do anything. Apostle Peter states, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance”. (2 Peter 3:9) He lovingly and firmly rebukes, warns, and waits. Finally, he judges if we don’t turn from our sinful ways. Our job is to receive the correction, repent, and obey what the Lord has spoken to us. 2 Corinthians 5:10 states, “For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.” PRAY THIS PRAYER: “O loving and kind God, you are righteous and holy in all your ways. I come before you broken and honest for that is what you desire. I can not hide anything from you. Forgive me for my sin of pride, doubt, and disobedience. Please cleanse me from wrong thoughts, ungodly words, and unholy behavior. I don’t want to grieve the Holy Spirit. I need your Spirit who guides me into all truth, empowers me to live for you, and works through me for your glory. Help me to be sensitive to your Spirit and quickly obey your word. Lord my desire is to please you in everything I do and say. In Jesus’ name - Amen.”

Principal Julie Rikard of Kings Mountain High School announced Wednesday, September 23 that Daniel H. Carley has been named a Commended Student in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2021 competition for National Merit Scholarship Awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.5 million students who entered the competition by taking

the 2019 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT). “Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success. Daniel is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Carley.

Additional $40M COVID for small businesses Some North Carolina small businesses that have experienced extraordinary disruption COOPER to their operations due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic may benefit from a $40 million relief program to help offset fixed costs like rent, mortgage interests and utility bills, Governor Roy Cooper announced today.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy – powering our local communities and giving back in so many ways. They deserve our support, and this new initiative can help them weather this tough time,” said Governor Cooper. The NC Mortgage, Utility and Rent Relief (MURR), administered by the North Carolina Department of Commerce, can provide up to $20,000 in relief funds per qualifying business location. Business applicants from certain industry sectors that have not been able to oper-

tional prerogative to “[p] rescribe” the “Times, Places and Manners” of the federal election, the Board is violating the Elections Clause,” the lawmakers’ complaint asserts. “This agreement was official action, taken without constitutional or statutory authority, to influence the 2020 election after voting already started in a disgrace to American due process,” Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) said. “We have asked the court to preserve North Carolinians’ right to a fair and nonpartisan elections system free from backroom schemes launched after over 200,000 voters have already cast their ballots.” Major election changes included in the “consent agreement” released well-after voting has already begun in North Carolina include: • Rewriting the statutory deadline for the receipt of absentee ballots. • Subverting the absentee ballot witness requirement agreed to in the Bipartisan Elections Act of 2020. • Rewriting the statutory definition of “postmark” • Weakening protections against ballot harvesting State House Speaker Tim Moore released the following statement: “Roy Cooper and Josh Stein are attempting to gut the integrity of North Carolina voting laws by colluding with partisan Democratic attorneys from Washington D.C. while ballots are already being cast in this Presidential Election.” “These actions are utterly lawless, and we will be reviewing them to assess all of our legal options.”

Page 1 resigned saying they felt misled by the state attorney general’s office and staff when they agreed to a settlement weakening absentee ballot laws. “These resignations raise serious questions about the integrity of the Cooper-controlled State Board of Elections, Josh Stein’s Department of Justice, and the circumstances of how this collusive settlement was put forward,” Speaker Moore said. “Deceiving the minority Republican members of the board is completely unacceptable and damages faith in our electoral institutions. We are continuing to explore all of our legal options.” Over 1 million North Carolinians requested their absentee ballots, and over 220,000 returned them prior to the State Board of Elections attempting to arbitrarily change state law, the lawsuit notes, asserting the consent agreement thus violates the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. According to Saturday’s release, the board is administering the election in an arbitrary and nonuniform manner that inhibits North Carolinians who have already cast their ballot from voting on an equal basis with citizens who would vote after, the lawsuit contends, actions that would allow otherwise unlawful votes to be counted, thereby deliberately diluting and debasing lawful votes. “By usurping the General Assembly’s constitu-

and additional information on the program, visit www.nccommerce.com/murr. Governor Cooper and NC DHHS Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen also announced that effective October 2, large outdoor venues would be permitted to open at 7% capacity with key safety precautions in place. The announcement was made today so these locations could begin putting safety measures in place in order to operate. Large entertainment venues are those that can seat over 10,000. “We will continue analyzing our data and indicators as we determine how to move forward safely in other areas that may be included in the new order on October 2nd. In it, we hope to ease some

other restrictions, while still keeping safety protocols like masks, social distancing, and mass gathering limits in place,” said Governor Cooper. “With more things open and people moving around more, we need everyone to stay vigilant about wearing a mask, waiting six feet apart, and washing their hands often,” said Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. “Our progress is fragile and will take our continued hard to work to protect it.” State and public health officials will continue watching the key COVID-19 trends over the next week to determine if any further restrictions can be eased when the current Executive Order expires October 2 at 5 pm.

Last day to complete the 2020 Census By Loretta Cozart Wednesday, Sept. 30 is the last day to complete the 2020 Census. Data received from the census is important, because it impacts our community and brings tax dollars back to your community. As of Sunday, Sept 20, 62.2% of the households in Cleveland County have responded to the census and the county is ranked 34 out of 100 counties. Gaston County has responded slightly less, 61.3% of the households have responded and the county ranks 39 out of 100. If you want to see your tax dollars being spent in the county in which you live, take five minutes and

complete your 2020 Census at www.2020census. gov. More than $1,623 per person in federal aid and $205 in state aid are distributed annually based on the census count. CHIP, Medicare and Medicaid, SNAP (Food Stamps), Head Start, Foster Care and National School Lunch Program grants, and Highway planning and construction grants (including the NC Powell Bill) rely on census information. The US Census is required by the Constitution. The once a decade count determines how many representatives North Carolina will have in Congress and where state, county, town, and other local districts are

drawn. The Census is the largest and most reliable picture of our communities and is vital to planning for future services like schools, streets and utilities, hospitals and clinics, shopping and more. Census data also helps future generations learn about you, where you lived, your education, what you did for a living, and the name of your spouse/ partner and children. The census is one of the most important tools genealogist have at their disposal to lean about their families. Census data is not available to the public for 72 years, so there is no need to worry it will be available publicly for a

long time. For example, the 1950 census records won’t be released in April 2022. The US Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. In fact, every employee takes an oath to protect your personal information for life. One day, your grandchildren and their children will be able to use the census you completed to learn more about you. If you skip completing the census, your descendants will have a hard time finding you, especially if you move frequently. The census acts as a breadcrumb to future generations enabling them to find you.

NCDHHS releases COVID-19 exposure notification app The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has launched a COVID-19 Exposure Notification app called ‘SlowCOVIDNC’, which began on Sept. 22. The app will help North Carolinians slow the spread of the virus by alerting them when they may have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. It is completely anonymous and does not collect, store or share personal information or location data. SlowCOVIDNC, which leverages Google and Apple’s Exposure Notification System (ENS), alerts users who have the app if they have been in close contact with an individual who later tests positive for COVID-19. It is voluntary to download and use and designed to enhance the state’s existing contact tracing efforts. The app completed Beta testing earlier this month and can now be downloaded for free through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. “With SlowCOVIDNC App, North Carolinians have another powerful tool to help slow the spread of COVID-19 right in their pockets. Downloading SlowCOVIDNC is a practical step each of us can take to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our state,” said NCDHHS Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. Here’s how SlowCOVIDNC will work:

Download the free SlowCOVIDNC Exposure Notification app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and enable Bluetooth and Exposure Notifications. Bluetooth must be on for the app to work. After opting-in to receive notifications, the app will generate an anonymous token for the device. A token is a string of random letters which changes every 10-20 minutes and is never linked to identity or location. This protects app user privacy and security. Through Bluetooth, phones with the SlowCOVIDNC app work in the background (minimizing battery) to exchange these anonymous tokens every few minutes. Phones record how long they are near each other and the Bluetooth signal strength of their exchanges in order to estimate distance. If an app user tests positive for COVID-19, the individual may obtain a unique PIN to submit in the app. This voluntary and anonymous reporting notifies others who have downloaded the app that they may have been in close contact with someone in the last 14 days who has tested

positive. PINs will be provided to app users who receive a positive COVID-19 test result through a web-based PIN Portal, by contacting the Community Care of North Carolina call center, or by contacting their Local Health Department. SlowCOVIDNC periodically downloads tokens from the server from the devices of users who have anonymously reported a positive test. Phones then use records of the signal strength and duration of exposures with those tokens to calculate risk and determine if an app user has met a threshold to receive an exposure notification. NCDHHS is partnering with institutions of higher education, local businesses and influential North Carolinians to promote SlowCOVIDNC and educate the public about how widespread use of the app can slow the spread of COVID-19. To learn more about SlowCOVIDNC and to download the app, visit https://www. covid19.ncdhhs.gov/slowcovidnc, which also includes an FAQ.

Feed the birds and watch them with your family As fall approaches, remember to feed the birds that live in your yard. Did you know that over 100 North American bird species supplement their natural diets with birdseed, suet, fruit and nectar obtained from feeders? According to the NC Audubon Society, bird feeding can benefit birds and also provides great bird

For example, even if you are satisfied with your current Medicare Advantage or Part D plan, there may be another plan in your area that covers your health care and/ or drugs at a better price.

Fall is here If you hadn’t noticed, fall arrived last week. As if mother nature anticipated the date, the weather turned cooler over the weekend just after the remnants of Hurricane Sally blew through. With cooler weather comes sweaters, fall foliage, pumpkin lattes, football, mums, apple cider, and Halloween; things both big and little we use to mark the changing of the season. While many of our beloved fall traditions won’t be the same this year, participating in as many as possible will help to mentally transition into fall. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, September temperatures will be cooler than normal and linger

The obvious time to feed birds is in winter when natural food supplies are scarce; however, additional species visit feeders during the spring and fall migrations, and also during summer while nesting.
