Harmon sworn in as new Fire Chief By Loretta Cozart On Friday, August 30, Tommy Harmon, II was sworn in as Fire Chief for the City of Kings Mountain by Mayor Scott Neisler. Harmon was joioned in the ceremony by his wife Amelia and his father, Tommy Harmon, Sr. City Manager Marilyn Sellers charged the Chief with his duties and responsibilities, encouraging him to set high standards
professionally leading the department and relying on God for guidance. She also charged city employees to pledge their support.

A reception honoring Chief Harmon was held in the lobby of Kings Mountain City Hall following the ceremony.
Clay-Barnette Funeral Home of Shelby and Kings Mountain is North Carolina's first funeral home provider of Human Aquamation. They are also the only complete aquamation facility in the U.S, offering the service for both humans and pets in separate systems located inside the Shelby funeral home. Aquamation uses water to gently dissolve the body and the remaining dust and ash can be returned to the family or back to the earth. Last summer, Noth Carolina legalized human aquamation and Clay-Barnette Funeral Home acquired the equipment, and the most advanced technology to perform the service. Eric Bester, owner of Clay-Barnette said, "I originally wanted to get into pets, because pets are a wonderful way to build relationships with people. When people called about pets, they would ask if the service is available for humans."
Clay-Barnette Funeral Home is the only complete aquamation facility in the U.S, offering the service for humans and pets. Photos by Mayra Littman Bester explained that most families initially ask about cremation but choose aquamation once given the option. He considers aquamation the superior method since it is a gentler,
eco-friendlier, and more environmentally sustainable because the process emits nothing into the atmosphere. “Since March of this year, we have had 35 of our families choose aquamation
over the cremation process,” Bester said. The scientific name for this water-based process is alkaline hydrolysis. It is the See AQUAMATION, Page 7A

The new roundabout at the intersection of Cansler Street and Mountain Street is now open. This is a single-lane roundabout and is easy to maneuver once you get the hang of it. As you approach the roundabout, slow down. Drivers yield to any vehi-
cles or bicyclists already in the roundabout. You enter the roundabout going to the right and travel in a counterclockwise direction. Remember, drivers in the roundabout do not yield to approaching vehicles. They have the rightof-way. Drivers should use turn signals when exiting and yield to pedestrians
using the crosswalks. If you are apprehensive about driving through the roundabout, follow these simple directions and you’ll be in and out in no time. According to KMPD, there have been no incidents in the roundabout since it opened last week.

the women realize time is precious, and if they're going to change their lives and achieve their dreams, they’ve got to get on it now! But Sugar Lee (Suzie Shetler), their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated. Carlene's (Leslie Brown) given up on romance, having buried three husbands. Nita's (Deanna Brown) a nervous wreck from running interference between her problematic son and his probation officer. Mavis' (Denise McCoy) marriage is so stagnant she's wondering how she can fake her own death to get out of it. And sweet, simple Crystal (Wendy Walega) entertains them all, singing Christmas carols with her own hilarious lyrics. The comic tension mounts when a sexy ex-boyfriend, Bobby Dwayne (Patrick Daley) shows up unexpectedly, a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor, Porter (Greg Dixon) and Sugar Lee's archrival, Bunny (Linda Sharp) vows she'll stop at nothing to steal the spa away from her. By the time the women rally together to overcome these obstacles and launch their new, improved lives, you've got a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and shout "Hallelujah!"

Prepare for storms now Patriot Day observance By Loretta Cozart As Hurricane Dorian threatens the southeastern coast of the United States, with a projected landfall near Wilmington on Thursday, it is important to prepare for late summer, fall, and winter storms now. The brunt of the storm will be at its worst along the coast, but ten to 20 mph winds are projected for our area as early as today. Current predictions show no rain for us, but vigilance in monitoring changing conditions is necessary to stay safe. Earlier this month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration upgraded its storm projections saying we should have an above normal season, experiencing five to nine hurricanes with two to four of those being named storms. With that in mind, it is best to prepare yourselves and our property ahead of the potential bad weather season. Even if a hurricane doesn’t come inland, water and wind often reach or area causing damage. Heavier than normal rains warrant cleaning gutters, allowing water to be averted away from your home. If you don’t have gutters, make sure water runs away from your home’s foundation toward ditches and storm drains. In preparation of high winds, bring in patio furniture, lawn decorations, tools, trash cans, planters, children’s toys, and other loose items. Anything that could become a projectile in a windstorm should be secured. Also check your property for opportunities for standing water. Buckets, tires, and sandboxes can become pools in a rainstorm and later harbor mosquitos. Bad weather predictions continue into the fall and winter. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts frigid and frosty
conditions for some parts of the country this fall and winter that will last well into spring. “This could feel like the never-ending winter, particularly in the Midwest and east to the Ohio Valley and Appalachians, where wintery weather will last well into March and even through the first days of spring,” says Almanac editor Janice Stillman. The South, “Winter will be warmer and rainier than normal, with below-normal snowfall. The coldest periods will be in mid-to-late November, early to mid-December, and early and late February. The best chance for snow will be in late February in the north. “April and May will be warmer than normal, with rainfall below normal in the north and above normal in the south. Summer will be cooler and rainier than normal, with the hottest periods in late July and mid- and late August. A tropical storm will threaten in mid- to late June. September and October will be warmer and rainier than normal, with a hurricane threat in mid-September and tropical storm threats in mid-October,” they predict. After preparing your home for bad weather, remember to keep an emergency kit on hand. Some items to include are: • A battery-operated flashlight, a battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio, and extra batteries for both • An emergency evacuation or shelter plan, including
a map of your home and, for every type of severe weather emergency, routes to safety from each room • A list of important personal information, including: • telephone numbers of neighbors, family, and friends • insurance and property information • telephone numbers of utility companies • medical information According to the American Red Cross, your emergency kit should include: • assortment of adhesive bandages • antibiotic ointment • sterile gauze pads in assorted sizes • absorbent compress dressings • tweezers • scissors • adhesive cloth tape • aspirin packets (81 mg each) • first aid instruction booklet (NOTE: Customize your first aid kit to meet your individual and family needs.) • A 3 – 5-day supply of bottled water and nonperishable food • Personal hygiene items • Blankets or sleeping bags • An emergency kit in your car Staying safe requires planning, before the shelves are bare and no water and necessities can be found. Even if you never need to rely upon your emergency kit, you will have the peace of mind knowing it is there if you need it.
The City of Kings Mountain will observe Patriot Day on Wednesday, September 11 at noon. This solemn anniversary is an annual commemorative service for those who lost their lives 18 years ago on September 11, 2001. “We should never forget 9/11 as it was a solemn day in the life of our country, but it taught us to be vigilant in being prepared to defeat evil wherever it raises its ugly head”, stated Scott Neisler,
Mayor of Kings Mountain. “We are so happy to partner with American Legion Post 155 for this event honoring those that put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.” The observance will be held at the American Legion Post 155, 613 East Gold Street, Kings Mountain at 12, Noon. Participants will include a musical tribute by Andrew and Sarah Fulton, the presentation of colors by
the Kings Mountain Police Honor Guard, an invocation by Police Chief, Lisa Proctor and Pledge of Allegiance by Fire Chief, Thomas Harmon. Mayor Neisler will speak followed by a moment of silence and the memorial ringing of the Fire Bell.

My Beloved Son
Beth Moore live simulcast at First Baptist
D o you have a Paul and Timothy in your life? No, not someone with DR. JONATHAN M. BUNDON t h o s e Worship Pastor names. First Baptist Church Do you have a mentor and mentee? Is there a person you consider your mentor? Is there a person whom you disciple? In my life, I have been blessed to have several mentors, my preaching professor Dr.
Calvin Miller being among the most significant. By contrast, I have had the opportunity to disciple others and invest in their lives. Paul was Timothy’s mentor and dear friend. When we consider Paul’s letters to Timothy, we gain insight into the relationship between them and the advice given. The apostle Paul, who some argue as the most celebrated Christian ever, mentored Timothy, a young man in the faith. Paul instructed Timothy in practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual development. As a
result, Timothy grew in knowledge and faith in the Lord. Paul and Timothy’s relationship was not onesided. I am certain Timothy enriched Paul’s life as well. Together, they developed a powerful bond so much; Paul addressed him as my “true son” and my “dear son.” The question I ask us, who are our Timothy and Paul? We need both Timothy and Paul in our lives. One of my favorite verses found in Proverbs 27:17 states, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” We must not undervalue the investment
in close Christian relationships. We all need a Paul and a Timothy. We need someone who can mentor us and stretch us spiritually. In turn, we need to invest in others who need guidance or are younger in the faith. I leave you with a twopart homework this week. First, write a letter or make a phone call to your Paul (mentor or mentors). Express specific ways in which they have enriched your life. Second, contact your Timothy (the person who looks to you). Let them know you care for them and want to invest in their life.

American Legion Post 155 busy in month of August By Loretta Cozart The American Legion World Series (ALWS) returned to Veterans Field in Keeter Stadium in Shelby earlier this month. The ball games, along with the 7th Inning Stretch Festival, are held in Shelby. Kings Mountain’s American Legion Post 155 took on an important Friday event, feeding the participating teams and providing a valuable learning opportunity to the players. A lunchtime, all participating baseball teams attended the Medal of Honor Luncheon hosted at the Otis D. Green Post home on East Gold Street. Three hundred plus team members and guests enjoyed a hearty meal while being welcomed by both National and State American Legion dignitaries. Most importantly, the players heard the story a Medal of Honor recipient shared in his own words. Harold “Hal” Fritz told the story of his experiences in war. He doesn’t consider himself a hero; he was just doing his job. It was decided to hold this event in Kings Mountain, because Post 155 has the largest American Legion facility in Cleveland County. The banquet room can hold in excess of 300 guests. The American Legion family is made up of four separate groups: The Le-
gionnaires (members who served in the military), Sons of the Legion (including sons, adopted sons, and stepsons of veterans), Legion Auxiliary (daughters, wives, and sisters of veterans), and American Legion Riders (Legion members in good standing who own a motorcycle). All these groups came together to feed the crowd who attended the Medal of Honor Luncheon. These Legion members, men and women, took on the task of planning, buying, preparing, serving, decorating, and cleaning up after the event. They did this for the love of veterans and to instill that same love and respect in future generations. But their commitment didn’t stop there. On Saturday, American Legion Riders from Post 155 rode to Keeter Stadium en masse with other chapters and onto Veteran’s Field for the opening ceremony of that day’s games. On Tuesday afternoon, prior to the ALWS Championship game, the American Legion Legacy Run happened to pass through Shelby and those riders stopped at Post 155 for a meal and fellowship. Some 300 motorcyclists participated. American Legion Riders departed American Legion Post 347 in Lady Lake, Fla., on Aug. 18, and will arrive in Indianapolis, Ind., on Aug. 22 for the 2019 American Le-
gion National Convention. Those participants stopped at Post 155 for a warm meal and fellowship before continuing their route. And what an impression they made, with motorcycles stretching off into the distance, engines rumbling so loudly they could be heard for miles. American Legion Riders are not a motorcycle club. Far from it . Members belong to chapters and are well known for their charitable work, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children's hospitals, schools, veterans homes, severely wounded servicemembers and scholarships. Since 2006, Riders nationwide have participated in The American Legion Legacy Run to annually raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund, and the money they raised that Tuesday goes to this fund established to provide scholarships to children of U.S. military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001. American Legion Post 155 works hard to honor local veterans, teach future generations, and support the veterans and their families. Post 155 accomplishes much without drawing attention to themselves. Why would they? After all, they are just doing their jobs.

Absentee ballot process secured by NC House in Bill increasing penalties for fraud Legislation enhancing penalties for absentee ballot fraud and creating new crimes for selling or receiving payment for returning completed absentee ballot request forms was approved by the North Carolina House of Representatives on Wednesday. Senate Bill 683 Combat Absentee Ballot Fraud also adds a Saturday to North Carolina’s early voting schedule, which has nearly doubled the number of hours available for early voters to cast their ballots. S.B. 683 requires absentee ballot requests be submitted with a photo identification to comply with the state’s voter ID law or an affidavit asserting a reasonable impediment to obtaining a qualifying ID. Voters must include their photo identification or affidavit with the request for an absen-
tee ballot under the bill, which eliminates the option for voters to provide the ID or affidavit with voted ballots. It further prevents the harvesting of absentee ballot requests by prohibiting the return of those forms by anyone but the voter, their near relative, or legal guardian. Voters must include their photo identification or affidavit with the request for an absentee ballot under the bill, which eliminates the option for voters to provide the ID or affidavit with voted ballots. S.B. 683 creates a new Class I felony for selling, purchasing, or attempting to transact in completed absentee ballots or application forms. It also creates a Class I felony for compensating others based on the number of returned requests for ballots.
It also increases existing Class 2 misdemeanors for committing absentee ballot fraud to Class 1 misdemeanors and creates a new Class G felony for intentionally failing to deliver or intentionally destroying request forms and absentee ballots. “Our democracy is only as good as the integrity of our elections,” said House Rules Committee Chairman David Lewis (R-Harnett). “I would like to thank the House Elections Committee Co-Chairs Rep. Holly Grange and Rep. Destin Hall for their help on this proposed legislation.” “This carefully crafted proposal will provide greater access to voters, close the absentee ballot loopholes, and secure our elections. I look forward to getting this bill across the finish line,” Lewis said.

Economic Development and Planning Director, Stuart Gilbert added that the agreement had been reviewed and approved by both Wastewater Resources and the City Attorney Correy. Council also approved an ordinance to place three pedestrian crossings, two on both the westbound and eastbound sections of West Gold Street at South Cansler and the other one on South Cansler Street at the intersection of West Gold street just North of that inter-
section. In addition, Council voted to change the traffic signal at West Gold Street and South Cansler from a regular traffic light to a flashing red light on both the eastbound and westbound directions of West Gold Street. A flashing amber light will be on the southbound and northbound directions of South Cansler Street. City Council went into a closed session to discuss two legal issues regarding Jones vs. the City of Kings Mountain and T.W. vs. the City of Kings Mountain, and a personnel matter.

AQUAMATION From Page 1A same process that occurs as part of nature's course when a pet or human is laid to rest in the soil. The process uses a combination of water flow, temperature, and alkalinity to accelerate nature's process. The difference between burial, cremation and aquamation is the time the process takes and how the transition occurs. With burial, soil and microorganisms are the catalysts and take as much as 25 years to reduce the body to bone. Cremation does so very quickly through the application of destructive fire. With Aquamation, the body is placed in a stainless-steel chamber where water and alkali are added, and the temperatureis raised. As the circulation of hot water (never boiling) and alkali work together, the earthly body is returned to its natural element of water, leaving the
skeletal remains behind. Bester describes the process as a quiet, water-based process that reduces the remains to dust and ash that is returned to the family. He points out, “We are bom out of water, many times
baptized in water, and our bodies are on average 65% water. With aquamation, we return to the earth as part of the cycle of life, and our elements reabsorbed as nature intended.”

NC opioid overdose deaths drop for first time in 5 years For the first time in five years the number of unintentional opioid-related overdose deaths among North Carolina residents has fallen. According to preliminary data collected by the NC Department of Health and Human Services, unintentional opioid-related overdose deaths decreased by 5 percent in 2018. In 2017, deaths increased 34 percent from the year before. These figures are consistent with the decreasing number of emergency department visits for opioid-related overdoses which declined nearly 10 percent from 2017 to 2018. The decrease reflects a preliminary estimate of 1,785 deaths in 2018 compared with 1,884 in 2017. Governor Cooper signed the Opioid Epidemic Response Act into law in July 2019. This law removes the ban on use of state funds to pur-
chase syringe exchange program supplies, decriminalizes the possession of fentanyl tests strips that allow people to test drugs for dangerous contaminants, and increases access to office-based opioid treatment. The Department of Health and Human Services’ Opioid Dashboard tracks progress toward five overarching goals: reducing deaths, reducing oversupply of prescription opioids, reducing drug diversion and illicit drug flow, increasing naloxone access and increasing access to treatment and recovery services. While the numbers have declined for prescription opioids, the data captured as part of the state’s Opioid Action Plan continues to show that most deaths and emergency department visits continue to be due to illicit opioids such as heroin and fentanyl.
“Opioid overdose deaths and emergency department visits are two key metrics set forth in our Opioid Action Plan, and efforts to improve outcomes in those areas are clearly showing a positive impact,” said DHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen MD. “While this is a significant achievement, we know far too many North Carolina families are still suffering. We must continue to focus on prevention, reducing harm and connecting people to care.” Today’s announcement builds on the progress shared at the state’s second Opioid Summit held in June 2019. From 2017 to 2019, opioid dispensing decreased by 24 percent; prescriptions for drugs used to treat opioid use disorders increased by 15% percent, and opioid use disorder treatment for uninsured and Medicaid beneficiaries increased by 20%.

BACK TO THE FUTURE Mountaineers host TCR Friday on new turf Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will host the TC Roberson Rams Friday night at 7:30 on the new artificial turf at John Gamble Stadium. It will be the Mountaineers’ third game on turf this season, following a victory over Burns at Gardner-Webb’s Spangler Stadium to open the sea-
son, and a 35-20 win over Monroe on the Redhawks’ turf Friday. “We’ll be playing on turf for the third week in a row,” noted Mountaineer Coach Greg Lloyd. “But this week we’re going to be on the best turf.” TC Roberson comes to town with an 0-2 record, having lost to Watauga and
Crest. They have some juniors and seniors with varsity experience. “TC Roberson is a little young but they’re showing some promise,” Coach Lloyd said. “They’ve had a rough start but they have a strong tradition. Every game is a big game and we want to be ready.” Shak Hill and Brady
Whitson, two veterans, split time at quarterback and Trevon Hill is a good junior running back. “They throw the ball a lot so we have to be disciplined,” Lloyd said. “And, we need to try other ways to get the ball to Kobe (Paysour).” Workers were busy over the weekend and the first of
this week putting the finishing touches on the new field. This is the first major upgrade to Gamble Stadium since it was built in 1967. The first game there was a 7-7 tie with the East Rutherford Cavaliers. Even though the 10-yard sudden death was in effect then, it was only used if the two teams were in the running
for a conference championship to decide which one would advance to the playoffs and still went into the record books as a tie. “We are very excited about getting to play at home and the first game on our new field,” Lloyd said. “We look forward to it and hope we have a big crowd.”
KM recovers from bad start to roll over Monroe 35-20 Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers suffered Murphy’s Law for a quarter in Friday’s 35-20 endowment game victory over the Monroe Redhawks in Monroe. Anything that could go wrong went wrong in the first period as the hosts scored three quick touchdowns to go up 20-0. The Mountaineers experienced six turnovers in the first period – including two pass interceptions, three fumbles and a snap launched high over the KM punter’s head for a safety – to account for the early deficit. But, they finally regrouped and scored three second period touchdowns to take a 21-20 into the halftime break. Touchdowns in the third and fourth periods put their second straight victory on ice. “It was a good win but it was really a tale of two halves,” said Mountaineer Coach Greg Lloyd. “We got off to a tough start. Monroe came out ready to play. They were well prepared.” Kings Mountain won the pre-game coin toss and elected to defer until the second half. The defense held the Redhawks on their first series and forced a punt. Things looked good for the Mountaineers as they started off with a seven-yard gain by Marquis
Adams. Followed by a face mask penalty against the Redhawks, KM was on the Monroe 42 with a first down. But two plays later, the Mountaineers lost their first fumble and the problems began. Monroe drove to the KM 17 before fumbling on the 14. The Mountaineers appeared to be rolling toward a TD, getting a 23-yard run by Rashaard Brooks and a 17-yard Ethan Reid to Bryce Fisher pass for a first down at the Monroe 46. However, three plays later Monroe’s Salen Streater intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown and a 6-0 lead. KM fumbled the ensuing kickoff on its own 27 and on third and seven quarterback Matt Bennett hit Jordan Black for a 24-yard touchdown to put the hosts up 12-0. The Mountaineers couldn’t get anything going after the ensuing kickoff and were forced to punt. A snap from center sailed high over the punter’s head and went into the end zone for a safety and a 14-0 Monroe lead. After the free kick, Bennett hit Shaleak Knotts with a 35-yard touchdown pass to put the home team up 20-0. Monroe threatened to score again after Knotts intercepted a pass in the

The KM defense was able to hold them, and the offense took over at their own 22 with 11:38 on the second quarter clock. Murphy’s Law ended, and the Rashaard Brooks show began. The sophomore running back, who finished with 211 yards rushing, had 36 in a nineplay drive that ended with
Luke Bishop circling right end for an eight-yard TD to cut the margin to 20-7. Kings Mountain’s junior All-American Kobe Paysour, who was triple-teamed all night, had his only reception during that drive, a 24-yard catch and run to the Monroe 25. A big sack by Javari Rice-Wilson and Devin Pressley forced a short Monroe punt that rolled dead on the Redhawks’ 35

Austyn Dixon had 11 service points, 10 assists and six digs. Caroline Barber had 12 service points, 10 digs and four serve receptions. In non-conference action last week, the KM teams fell to two very good Clover, SC teams. The varsity sandwiched a 25-20 win around losses
of 34-32 and 26-24. Byers had another good game with seven service points, 17 kills, two blocks and eight digs. Emma Goff contributed 12 service points, 10 kills and eight digs.

ROLL OVER From Page 1B The Mountaineers took up almost half of the third period driving 72 yards for a 28-20 lead. Penalties prolonged the drive, but Reid finally scored from three yards out with 6:36 on the clock. It was obvious the Redhawks were tiring out, but they were still able to hold off a couple of KM drives. Monroe’s offense couldn’t do much with the KM defense, though, and with 6:20 showing on the fourth quarter clock the Mountaineers began a 55 yard drive that clinched the win. A screen to Brooks covered 38 of the yards, and the shifty sophomore ended it with a 13-yard TD run with 3:39 remaining. Chance Cannon’s fumble recovery ended the Redhawks’ final drive at the Monroe 26 with 3:33 left. KM kept the ball on the ground to run out the clock. Brooks, who didn’t start, used his quickness behind good blocking to have one of the best nights of any KM sophomore back. Reid hit 9 of 21 passes for 156 yards. “I was proud of our guys for not giving up after we got behind,” Coach Lloyd said. “Brooks had a really nice game and Reid is showing a lot of improvement. “Our offensive line played the best they’ve played all year. Defensively, we pretty much stuffed them after that first quarter. It was a good team win.” Lloyd was also proud of the defensive effort. Monroe had only 135 yards total offense. The Redhawks’ defense was successful in holding down Paysour, but it took three defenders to do it. “They took him away,” Lloyd said, “but it was such a good team effort. Kobe makes a big difference just by being on the field. He did a great job at defensive back. “I thought Chance Cannon played his best game defensively, and Zach Crawford had a very good game. I thought Fisher played excellent at tight end. He made some good catches. “That big hit by Day Day Wilson on kickoff coverage set the tone for our comeback,” he added. “We pretty much dominated them after that.”

7 Top Tips
Back-to-school edition By Loretta Cozart
Now that public school is back in session in Cleveland County, here is a 7 Top Tips refresher-course to help you and your family prepare to ace that upcoming exam. Plan for Success – Like any endeavor, it is easier to generate confidence, as well as measure and realize solid success for your school-age children when working together with a clear plan to succeed. According http://ageofmontessori.org, as the school year begins, try sitting down with your student to create a workable game plan. Set ground rules and expectations for the new term. Schedule how and when the parent and child will collaborate each day to better navigate through the school year together. Balance schoolwork time with playtime and allow plenty of time for rest including a consistent bedtime and morning wake-up routine. Many families find that writing down key components of the plan and posting it on the family refrigerator serves a good reminder to help the family keep activity on track. Pay Attention to Your Child’s Health – Getting sick during the school year can play havoc to your child’s attendance, positive attitude and ability to perform well at school, according to healthychildren.org. While sharing the sniffles with classmates is sometime unavoidable, there are several simple steps that you can take to reduce the odds of spreading illness. Review basic hygiene tips with your children, reminding them to wash their hands carefully and frequently, get plenty of good sleep, avoid sharing food and drinks with their friends, sneeze into their elbow, regular use hand sanitizer, and maintain a clean workspace through the day. Encourage your child to communicate
Public Notice North Carolina Environmental Management Commission/NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Notice of Intent to Issue a NPDES Wastewater Permit The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission proposes to issue a NPDES wastewater discharge permit to the person(s) listed below. Written comments regarding the proposed permit will be accepted until 30 days after the publish date of this notice. The Director of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) may hold a public hearing should there be a significant degree of public interest. Please mail comments and/ or information requests to DWR at the above address. Interested persons may visit the DWR at 512 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC to review information on file. Additional information on NPDES permits and this notice may be found on our website: http://deq.nc.gov/ about/divisions/ water-resources/water-resources-permits/ wastewater-branch/ npdes-wastewater/public-notices, or by calling (919) 707-3601. The City of Kings Mountain has requested renewal of permit NC0020737 for its Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cleveland County; this permitted discharge is treated municipal and industrial wastewater to Buffalo Creek, in the Broad River Basin. KMH3892 (9/04/2019)
clearly with you early as soon as they may notice the beginnings of a sore throat, sneezing or coughing, as it better to miss a day at school rather than attend and risk infecting other classmates. And, check you medicine cabinet to make sure that you have a good supply of common over-thecounter medications handy so that you may take quick action to combat the outset of illness whenever the need may arise. Build a Support Network – No child is an island. Update your contact list at the start of each school year so that your student has quick and reliable access to others whenever help is needed. Make sure to collect full names, email addresses and mobile phone numbers and keep the information close by. Gather updated contact information of each child’s teachers, coaches and school administrators. Also have your child collect contact information for one or two students from each class and afterschool program they attend so that they may keep up with homework assignments and activity calendars when absent. Include parents of children living in your neighborhood which may come in handy when organizing carpools or coordinating bus schedules. Create a Designated Home Study Area – Set aside a specific dedicated location within the home where your child can read, explore studies and complete homework. This study area should be quiet, well-lighted, uncluttered, located apart from other games or activities, and free from other distractions such as television, radio, cell phones,
video games, and similar attention temptations. Study hours should be consistent from day to day and protected from common interruptions from pets, friends and siblings as much as possible. More importantly, the study area should be close to a parent who is easily accessible to observe and assist when questions or difficulties present themselves. Over time, the student will be conditioned to more quickly focus on studying while working within the designated study zone. Establish an Upfront Rewards System – While many students enjoy schoolwork and studying, all children may occasionally need an extra incentive to remain focused over the long haul. Discuss this with your child at the start of each term and set clear obtainable goals along with some specific STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF CLEVELAND NOTICE TO CREDITORS Having qualified on the 19th day of August, 2019 as Administrator of the Estate of Alexander Wayne Chicosky, deceased, of Cleveland County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons, firms, and corporations having claims against the deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned Matthew Jordan Rollins, Administrator on or before the 28th day of November, 2019, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. All persons, firms, and corporations indebted to the said estate will please make immediate payment to the undersigned. This the 28th day of August, 2019. Matthew Jordan Rollins, Administrator Estate of: Alexander Wayne Chicosky 640 Poplar Drive Shelby, NC 28152 KMH 3891 (8/28, 9/04, 11 & 18/2019)
corresponding incentives for good work and achievement. Keep in mind, that rewards can potentially motivate both behavior (study habits) as well as larger achievements (good grades, assignment completion, etc.). Offer small incentives to encourage your student to establish routine behaviors that will lead to greater success long term, such as writing down homework assignments or reading ahead before attending the next day’s class. Suggest larger rewards when the child achieves major milestones, such as finishing a project ahead of schedule or performing well on a major exam. Offer rewards that hold the greatest meaning to your child, from small tokens or privileges to larger gifts and experiences like a trip to a nearby museum or park can be a great fun motivator as well as an additional learning experience. Get in the Game – Perhaps the biggest impact on your child’s success in school is your consistent and active involvement as both the mentor and co-learner. Take the lead. Children learn by example. If you display enjoyment in reading and problem solving, your child will learn and mirror that behavior. Show interest in your student’s lessons and projects. Go beyond “Did you finish your homework?” Ask detailed questions about the day’s subject matter and point out how the subject can apply to real-life situations. The key is actively partnering with your child throughout the learning process so he or she feels supported and encouraged. Homework and studying become a fun family activity as the child build a long-term sustainable appreciation for schoolwork and achievement through education. Remember Cleveland County’s Homework Hotline – Everyone needs a bit of help along the way. So, when you and your child are struggling with the latest version of “new math” or wrestling with a difficult science experiment, remember that you can call the Homework Hotline for quick assistance. The hotline connects you with teachers representing all grade levels with knowledge spanning all curriculum subject areas. Assistance is available weekday evenings and is provided by the Cleveland County Schools Education Foundation and the Board of Education. Call (704) 476-8315 or visit http:// www.clevelandcountyschools. org/students/homework-hotline.
Workers were busy Tuesday afternoon putting the finishing touches on the new playing field at John Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers will play their first game on the new turf Friday at 7:30 p.m. against TC Roberson.

%HVVHPHU &LW\ DVNV \RX WR 7KDQN D 3ROLFH 2IÀFHU Bessemer City asks you to Thank a Police Officer National “Thank a Police Officer Day” is always the third Saturday of September each year. This year you can show you support for law enforcement on Saturday, September 21st, 2019. National “Thank a Police Officer Day” was established in September of 2012 by President Obama as a way to show support and
appreciation of our everyday heroes and heroines. Oftentimes, we forget the cost many Police Officers bear for our basic freedoms. Police officers spend their days coming into harm’s way, often risking their own lives while protecting others. So don’t forget to thank a police officer for their service on Saturday,
September 21st. Also, the City of Bessemer City will host our annual “Thank A Police Officer Day” on Friday, September 13, 2019 at the Kiser Senior Center from 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM. Join us in celebrating our esteemed Bessemer City Police Department!
Public Works Department Cemetery Clean-up Clean-Up Public Works Department Cemetery The Bessemer City Public Works Department will perform a clean-up of the two city-owned cemeteries during the week of September 23 - 27, 2019.
