Cleveland Co. Crime Stoppers group doing a great work Contact them and your anonymous tips can help solve a crime by MICHAEL E. POWELL CF Media michael@cfmedia.info Cleveland County Crime Stoppers are having a great year so far, and if all continues as is, they look forward to things getting even better, according to representatives of the organization. Also, having solid, local support certainly doesn’t hurt anything either. To that end, and thanks to a couple of fundraisers and contributions, they can continue with the great work they do, throughout the year. Recently, Mr. Jeff Yates said they were presented with a check for $1,500 from the Shelby Walmart Distribution Center, money he noted went to their TIPS payout fund, which, as the name implies, pays out, on a sliding scale manner. “Our mission with Crime Stoppers,” he said, “is all predicated on which crimes are happening in the county, and if the tips received ‘play out,’ or assist in the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator of said crime, then payment is based on how the information received factors into the investigation. We pay out up to $1,000,” Yates noted Crime Stoppers essentially “faded away” in early 2017, and the group’s members now wanted to see about getting the system revived. “Thankfully,” said Yates, “in early 2023 were able to do so.” They have a site on the Internet at p3tips.com, and their email is stoppers.c@yahoo.com, he said. “Our tip line phone number is (704) 481-8477,” he said, add-
ing, “But for the most information you can go to our Facebook page, or follow us on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter).” The group also has a QR code that can be scanned that will connect anyone right away with the organization, and that, Yates noted, is also to be found on the Cleveland County Sheriff’s web site. Group Chairman, Yates, a retired law enforcement officer from Iowa, said of the organization, “We have the complete support from our county law enforcement agencies – Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, Shelby Police Department, Kings Mountain Police Department, and Boiling Springs Police Department. Representatives of our law enforcement regularly attend our Board Meetings.” A person needing any information, from how to become a Board member, to how to make a donation may email them at stoppers.c@yahoo.com. “Donations are accepted by searching for Cleveland County Crime Stoppers Inc., in the Charities section on Venmo and PayPal. Checks may be sent to Cleveland County Crime Stoppers Inc, P.O. Box 1613, Shelby, NC, 28151. Donations may also be made direct from our Facebook page,” he said. At the recent check presentation, Yates noted that Frank, Dezio and Justin Sarff are office persons with Walmart’s Distribution Center. Yates noted he is the Crime Stoppers Chairman, and Mr. Cerizza is the GM of

(photo provided) Walmart Distribution Center. “Scott Howell is Vice-Chairman, and Sgt. Benson is our police coordinator for Crime Stoppers,” he said. Another Crime Stoppers/ Walmart Distribution Center fundraiser in the works is their Super Bowl Raffle to Fight Crime. The drawing for the winner of that raffle will be held on Feb. 3, 2024, at 11 a.m., on Crime Stoppers Facebook Live. Tickets for that can be gotten from any CS Board member, said Yates, or can be purchased ($10 for one, or $20 for three) at Olivers Hardware and Gar-
den Center at 3712 Fallston Rd. (between Shelby and Fallston), or at various locations in Shelby (three locations), Kings Mountain (two locations) and Boiling Springs (Pro Hardware and Supply). Yates noted you can also pay via Venmo or PayPal, by searching Cleveland County Crime Stoppers, Inc., in “charities.” Yates continued, “The main thrust of the program is the TIPS payoff line, which is funded entirely through donations. A person can go onto Facebook and donate funds via the feature that is on that site and remain anon-

Poultry Foundation Awards $7,000 to Animal Science Program Cleveland Community College’s new Applied Animal Science Technology program received a boost recently. The program was awarded a $7,000 grant from the US Poultry Foundation. This was the maximum award that the College was eligible to receive. The grant will be used to help educate middle and high school students on the Applied Animal Science Technology program, and career opportunities available in the poultry industry. Funds will also be used to support collaborative events such as college career days, animal science days, and poultry science judging contests, and to strengthen connections with local employers and poultry industry affiliates. The US Poultry Foundation provides these grants as part of its Industry Education Recruitment Fund. The fund supports recruitment at colleges that encourage careers in the poultry industry. The grant requests are reviewed by a committee of university professionals. The committee then makes recommendations to the Foundation Board of Directors.

Delany named 2023 Distinguished Woman of Cleveland County By Loretta Cozart Brianna Meagan Delany was honored as a 2023 Distinguished Woman of Cleveland County on November 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cleveland County Commission for Women’s Banquet at the LeGrand Center. She was honored for becoming a passionate leader in the T1D community after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes; “Hero of the Month” for having 20 IVs without complaints; youngest fundraiser of $1,000.00 for the JDRF; mentor to newly diagnosed children; Keynote speaker; Best phlebotomists Ever! Top of her class at Basic Law Enforcement Training; Only female patrol officer this past year; School Resource Officer; Pageant titles in Cleveland and Gaston Counties; and Servant Leadership. She was escorted by her mother, Ms. Jacqueline Janine Rochford, and was presented by her husband, Mr. John Michael Delany. In 1978, the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners established the county’s Commis-
BRIANNA MEAGAN DELANY sion for Women, charging it with identifying and responding to the needs of all citizens of Cleveland County, with the greatest emphasis being on the needs of area women. The Commission for Women was instru-
mental in establishing the Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Shelter for women in crisis situations. Working in conjunction with NC Equity (now NC Women United), the Commission participates in a Bi-yearly Legislative Agenda
where county women are given the opportunity to present their concerns regarding women ’s issues. Results of the Legislative Agenda are compiled by NC Equity (now NC Women United) and forwarded to state legislators. The commission, in 1991, surveyed the status and needs of county women, sharing the results with county officials. Since its origin, the commission has recognized the contributions of county women through special events and workshops held during Women ’s History Month. In 1992, the commission decided to host an Annual banquet recognizing the accomplishments and contributions of “distinguished” women. The Commission decided in 2009 to reactivate the Miss Cleveland County Fair Pageant. The Cleveland County Commission for Women strives to discuss and communicate the needs of county residents regardless of ethnicity or gender.
Merry Christmas!

Cleveland County and Cleveland County Schools Partner to Increase Teacher Supplements Cleveland County Commissioners and the Cleveland County Board of Education continue to work together by placing teacher supplements as a high funding priority. The collaborative work done by both organizations has resulted in significant increases in the local Cleveland County teacher’s supplement over the last two years. “Supporting teachers is a significant investment in our collective future. Increases to teacher supplements, coupled with the recent increases approved in the State budget, will assist in our efforts to recruit, and retain high-quality educators,” said County Commissioner Chairman Kevin Gordon. “We appreciate the teaching profession and the true dedication our teachers have to the future of our children and the future of our county.” In October 2023, the state’s budget became law and teachers, as well as other school employees, will see a salary increase of approximately 7% over the biennium. As a part of this year's local budget, the Commissioners and Board of Education jointly committed to again raise the local teacher’s supplement. Teacher supplements are a locally-funded percentage of the state base added to a certified teacher’s salary. Teacher supplements are critical because they serve
as a significant and meaningful local impact on teacher pay and differentiate what county districts can offer to their teachers. Just last year, the Commissioners and Board of Education agreed to increase the local supplement by 2% which raised the supplement rate to 7.75%. This year’s increase will bring the local Cleveland County teacher’s supplement to 9.25%. The cost of the supplements is approximately $800,000 per 1% increase. Local supplement increases are funded from local sources. “The School Board is thankful to the Board of Commissioners for their continued support and partnership,” said Robert Queen, Chairman of the Cleveland County Board of Education. “Cleveland County has been blessed with educators that make a difference in the lives of their students and in our community.” Teacher supplements will be paid based on salaries adjusted to include the increase approved during the state budget. They are distributed annually in November. It is the Commissioner’s and School Board’s intention to continue to grow the supplement with a goal to achieve a supplement percentage of 10%, by 2025.

Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ

By Gary Miller This time of year, orange fills the woods. It confirms gun season has come. I’ve sat in many places, thinking I was the only one around, only to scan the horizon with my binoculars to discover an orange vest in a tree closer than I wanted. I can remember one time while hunting in Muhlenberg, Kentucky, staying in a hotel, and nearly every single GARY MILLER occupant either leaving early that morning or coming in late that evening, with an orange hat and vest on. It was a hotel from heaven. Years ago, fish and game commissions determined that orange was both a color that deer cannot distinguish and one that stands out markedly to humans. Shortly afterwards, wearing some form of orange became the law. Some states require only hats, some only vests, and some both. And the nuances of when it’s worn have changed over the years. Sometimes you are allowed to take it off once you are in a stand or blind, and sometimes it must always be on. There is no way to determine how many lives this hunting requirement has saved. It makes no audible sound. It is simple in its design. It is standard in its application. It comes in sizes to fit anyone. And it makes the same statement whether it is worn by the unknown or famous, or by the extrovert or introvert. When I think about the statement the orange vest makes, I make an application to how I think one’s Christian life is best lived out. It is best lived out by letting it make its own statement. It’s best when it is seen and not heard. It’s best when it is just a part of our everyday lives and not something in addition to. It’s best when its simplicity and subtleness stand out. Gary Miller hasitwritten Truths forbest 21 years. has It’s best when shinesOutdoor like a light on articles a hill. It’s when He others also written fiveand books which includefor compilations of his articles see its value even its safety, themselves, and want and it. a father/son devotional. He also speaks at wild-game dinners and men’s I cringe at forcedand faith. Jesus did not come to force himself on events for churches associations. anyone. He came to gary@outdoortruths.org reveal what we didn’t know or understand about the Father. By his own words, He said he didn’t come into the world to condemn it, but to save it. And the way He would do that would be by Him putting on my sin and by me putting on His righteousness. Much like my orange vest. gary@outdoortruths.org

A Winter Wonderland During the winter season in my hometown St. Louis, Missouri, the landscape would be adorned with glistening DANYALE snowflakes and PATTERSON a serene blanket of white. Not only was I excited about having a snow day from school, but I was captivated by the beauty of nature as I gazed out of my window. Everything was covered; nothing was left untouched. This winter wonderland reminds me of God’s promise of hope and redemption. Isaiah 1:18 (ESV) says, “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” A HIGH STANDARD Sometimes we think we are pretty good people and don’t need to change, especially if we pridefully compare ourselves to other people. However, our Heavenly Father doesn’t want us to measure our righteousness to others, but to examine ourselves based on his laws. If we are humble and truly honest, we would realize that we fail miserably in at least one or more areas. I know without a doubt that if the Holy Judge and Creator of the Universe decided to replay every thought I dwelled on, every word I ever said, all the attitudes of my heart, and everything I ever did, I would be toast and extremely embarrassed. I have missed the mark a million times since I came

Graham St, Shebly, NC. into this world. Romans 6:23 (NLT) says, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” The good news is He has a plan called salvation that deals with sin. When we believe and surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, He will lead us by his Holy Spirit and the scriptures. If we humble ourselves before God like King David in the Bible, the Lord will make our lives like a winter wonderland. King David prayed in Psalm 51:7 (GNT), “Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father God my heart is filled with love and gratitude for your goodness and mercy. Your love is indescribable; I am in awe of your grace and kindness to me. Forgive me for my disobedience and prideful ways. Help me to be a vessel of honor that pleases you. Continue to mature me in the things of the Spirit and in your word. In Jesus’ name, I pray - Amen.”
CONNECTING TO GOD God loves you more than you can comprehend. He is waiting with open arms for you to ask for forgiveness and receive Jeus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Your salvation is the most costly gift you will ever receive, because Christ took the penalty of sin to keep your soul from eternal damnation if you surrender your life to him. Romans 10:9 (ESV) says, “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I hope so. I heard we are going to have a cold winter.
Yes, I think we will get some snow but not much.
I would like to say yes, but I don’t think so.
It might. We are going to have some ice before the 15th.
I hope it’s snows on Christmas, but I don’t think so.
