Ribbon Cutting celebrates renovated CCC Yetis Gym By Alan Hodge Last Saturday, January 13, 2024, saw Cleveland Community College celebrate the grand opening of its newly renovated Yetis gym with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The atmosphere inside the gleaming gym was electric with excitement. In addition to the ribbon cutting, two thrilling basketball games took place that saw the CCC Yetis men’s and women’s teams take on the Bryant & Stratton College (Va) Bobcats. The Yetis women fell 55-84 and the men won 10079. The ribbon cutting took place between the games. The ribbon cutting was the culmination of work that has transformed the gym from a ho-hum space to a state of the art athletic and other activities edifice. Extensive work was completed in the gym last year, most notably the installation of new hardwood flooring featuring the Yeti head. In addition, new locker rooms were built for both home and visitor teams, new flooring was installed on the walking track and a new Yeti Club room was

constructed. Much of the work was done by CCC’s maintenance staff with help from a few contractors. CCC public relations/media spokesperson Paula Vess explained the evolution of the gym. “In 2021, the first phase of the Yeti Athletics Complex was completed with the construction of a new baseball field. A new softball field was completed a little more than a year later. The softball field was finished during the off-season in 2022, and we held a grand opening in February 2023. The Board of Trustees approved adding volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball in May 2022, which created the need to completely renovate the gym. At the time, the gym floor was covered in carpet, there were no bleachers, and although there were men’s and women’s locker rooms next to the gym, they weren’t equipped to meet the needs of competitive teams and there was no visitor locker room.” Key spaces in the gym are named in honor of key CCC personalities and loved ones. The named spaces in the gym are: The Chloe and Gracie Langley Scoreboard was

King to honor his family. The Berry Family Yeti Club Room was named by Trustee Tony Berry to honor his family. The Charles Carrigan Memorial Wall was named by Trustee Betty Carrigan in memory of her husband. Several dignitaries shared

their thoughts on the new gym project. Remarks were rendered by CCC President Dr. Jason Hurst, Board of Trustees’ Chair Bill Turpish, Cleveland Community College Foundation Board of Directors Chair Steve Padgett, and the See YETIS, Page 7

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month were being trafficked. The law also expands the definition of what is considered human trafficking and sexual servitude to include patronizing or soliciting someone, which mirrors the federal law. The North Carolina Human Trafficking Commission is the legislatively mandated leader of anti-human trafficking efforts in North Carolina Supreme Court of North Carolina Chief Justice Paul Newby has proclaimed January 2024 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month and January 11 as Human Trafficking Awareness Day for the Judicial Branch through proclamation. Since 2010, January has been recognized as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month by a presidential proclamation. The anniversary of the presi-

dential proclamation, January 11, is known as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. “We set aside this month to help North Carolinians recognize and prevent the cruel crimes involved in human trafficking in our state,” said Chief Justice Newby. “Collaboration across state and local government and public awareness can help put an end to human trafficking in North Carolina.” North Carolina has made significant progress

over the last decade in reducing human trafficking, thanks largely to the efforts of the North Carolina Human Trafficking Commission (NCHTC). In June 2023, a new law was enacted that gives human trafficking victims a statutory right to seek permanent no-contact orders against their trafficker. It also keeps victims from being denied money from the Crime Victims Compensation Fund based solely on their conduct while they

per S.L. 2013-368. The Commission is charged primarily with examining and combating human trafficking; funding and facilitating research; creating assessment and accountability measures; informing and educating law enforcement personnel, social services providers, and the general public; suggesting new policies, procedures, and

legislation; and developing regional response teams and identifying gaps in law enforcement or service provision and recommending solutions. The Commission is housed within the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts and also works to increase awareness and foster partnerships to bring services to survivors.

KMLT presents Clue: on stage Kings Mountain Little Theatre and Harris Funeral Home present Clue: On Stage at Joy Performance Theater from February 23 through March 3. Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue: On Stage is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by the butler Wadsworth, the guests - Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet – race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Though discouraged from revealing personal information, it is soon discovered that they all have fallen victim to the same blackmailer, their very host of the evening. What follows is a madcap, slapstick evening full of murder, mystery, and laughs as they seek to puzzle out the culprit among criminals. The main production staff include Producer Susan Champion, Director Wendy Walega, and Stage Manager Linda Mazzie. “We are thrilled to bring the beloved board game Clue to life on the stage,” said Director Wendy Walega. “Our talented cast and crew are working tirelessly to create a production that captures the essence of the game while adding a theatrical flair that will keep audiences engaged and entertained throughout the entire performance. “Audiences can expect a fast-paced and highly entertaining evening filled with suspense and humor. It’s a

classic whodunit with a modern twist that we know will delight both fans of the board game and the cult film.” There will be a drawing each night for a special edition of the Clue board game signed by the cast. The cast in order of appearance includes Kelsey Garber as Yvette, Nick Howell as Wadsworth, Caswell Martin as Cook, David Baez as Colonel Mustard, Ellie Dudeck as Mrs. White, Suzie Crews as Mrs. Peacock, Kevin L. Burke as Mr. Green, Chad Spurling as Professor Plum, Nicole Wilson as Miss Scarlet, Tim Evans as Mr. Boddy, Shawn Hougas as Motorist, Mark Griffin as Cop: Jackie SibleyNewton as Singing Telegram Girl, and Kevin Newton as Chief of Police. Performances are February 23, 24, and March 1, 2 at 7:30 p.m. Matinees are on February 25 and March 3 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. For info or reservations, contact tickets@ kmlt.org or call 704-7309408. Beginning February 1, tickets are available online at www.kmlt.org. This production contains mature themes and situations, suggestive and adult language, and depictions of stage violence. It will employ the use of theatrical weapons, gunshots, and a strobe effect. Patrons with health conditions should be advised. Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Inc. is a volunteerbased, 501c3 tax-exempt community theater. It owns and operates the Joy Theatre and the Liberty Mountain Garden.

It brings new life to our campus. Today, we celebrate an historical occasion with the gym’s grand opening.” Padgett thanked those who contributed to the gym project. “It was the great generosity of the donors who made this possible,” he said. Langley spoke about the impact the new gym will have. “This is an investment in all of our students,” he said. King added his thoughts on the forward thinking that made the gym happen. “It’s amazing what happens when people have a vision,” he said. “The sky is the limit for this institution.” Overall, the day was an upbeat milestone in the ever-evolving growth of CCC and the positive impact it has on our region.

CAKE 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled 2 teaspoon baking powder ½ tsp salt ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 large egg at room temperature ½ cup whole milk at room temperature 2 cups blueberries + 1 TBSP. flour for tossing STREUSEL TOPPING ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature ½ cup granulated sugar 1 /3 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled ½ teaspoon cinnamon Instructions CAKE: • Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. •In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream sugar and butter together until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and mix until combined.

•Add the flour mixture and milk in alternating additions, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, be careful not to overmix. • Coat blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and gently fold them into the batter. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan (it will be thick). STREUSEL TOPPING: • In a bowl, cut the butter and other ingredients together with a fork until it becomes crumbly. Sprinkle evenly on top of the cake. • Bake the cake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, and then remove it to a wire cooling rack. • Fresh blueberries are best. Tossing them with a spoonful of flour keeps them evenly distributed throughout the cake. If using frozen berries, there is no need to defrost first but your cake may need a few extra minutes to finish baking.

KM Crisis Ministry helps neighbors in need By Loretta Cozart

Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry (KMCM), an emergency organization sponsored by the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association, helps individuals and families in need in our community. With rising inflation resulting in greater needs locally, the ministry is asking the community for help. In 2022, KMCM helped 2133 people with food. That is roughly 25 percent of all the people living in Kings Mountain. This year, 259 families got help with utilities, 128 families were helped with rent, 184 individuals received clothes, and 72 families received needed gas or kerosene. Executive Director Lisa Harrison shared, “The numbers are double what they were the previous year, and we anticipate that even more individuals and families will need help this coming year. Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry is unique to our area. Shelby and Gastonia have nothing like this, it is truly an example of Kings Mountain people taking care of each other in the community.” “The individuals and families we help are in crisis, and they come from all walks of life,” she said. “They are in need, and we are able to meet them where they are and provide much-needed resources like food, rent, and utilities – to help propel individuals and families into a better position for success and well-being.” When the organization began, it was funded by local churches that pooled funds to help with the food needs in Kings Mountain. At that

time, it was called the Helping Hands fund. In the 1990s, the group moved to the YMCA at 208 Cleveland Avenue and began a food pantry, clothes closet, and financial assistance with rent and utilities. KMCM is a Second Harvest Food Pantry and receives donations of fresh produce, deli and bakery items from Food Lion and Walmart. They receive canned goods from businesses, churches, and individuals holding food drives and donating food monthly. Local realtors leave door hangers, and many individuals support the mission through them.

Ready or Not

(Part 3 of “Moments of Opportunity” Series) Have you ever been absent from church and was told something happened that DANYALE was special that day, but you PATTERSON missed it? Perhaps, someone came to town that you hadn’t seen in a long time, but you didn’t get to fellowship with them because you had to work, or had other responsibilities that prevented the interaction. No one likes to miss out. In fact, God doesn’t want us to miss out on our eternal relationship with him. He wants us to be ready. Luke 12:35 (NLT) says, “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning…” PREPARATION IS KEY

Jesus teaches a parable about 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins. The latter was not ready or prepared when the bridegroom came and was left behind. However, the wise virgins were because they had enough oil to last them through the night. Oil in the Bible often represents the Holy Spirit and one’s spiritual readiness. The oil represents the wisdom, knowledge, and relationship with God, which allow believers to stay strong and prepared for the coming of Christ. As believers, we must constantly seek God and His guidance, deepening our relationship with Him through prayer, studying His Word, and fellowship with other believers. HERE I COME Jesus’ return could happen at any moment, and we must therefore be vigilant and prepared at all times. In Mark 13:32-33

More info: dean@ newlifebiblecs.org or 704-923-2322. (ESV), Jesus declares, “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Missing out on a special event or opportunity can be disappointing and regretful. However, the consequences of being unprepared for Christ’s return are far more severe. We must heed the warnings in Scripture and ensure that we are ready for the glorious day when our bridegroom, Jesus, returns. May we always be prepared and never miss out on the eternal feast that awaits us. PRAY THIS PRAYER: Father, you are a loving, merciful, and patient God. You don’t want anyone to perish and you give us many opportunities to learn the truth. I pray that my eyes will be open to consistently see the light of the glorious gospel. I ask that you guide me throughout this journey, and keep me on the righteous path that leads to an eternal and intimate relationship with you.

Forgive me for anything and everything that displeases you. I want to be ready when you come for me. Either in this life or in death, may I see your glorious face. In Jesus’ name. Amen. CONNECTING TO GOD: TODAY IS YOUR MOMENT! Right now, ask forgiveness for all your sins. Then, ask Jesus to come into your heart to be your Savior and Lord. Ask God to fill you with his Holy Spirit and to lead you to a church where you can grow and serve. Start reading your bible every day. I’ll be praying for you.

January Gardening Tips By Jessica Strickland, NC Extension Agent As the holiday season is now behind us, many gardeners begin to dream of warm spring days when we can spend more time in our gardens. Take advantage of January to plan and prepare for the gardening season. General Garden Tips: • Make sure your tools are ready for the spring growing season. Sharpen any cutting tools you have and change the oil in any motorized garden equipment. • Add lime to your garden and landscape if your soil test results recommend adding lime. Lime takes several months to change the soil pH, so adding Cars and Coffee will be held the second Saturday each month from 8:00 until 11:00 a.m. in Uptown Shelby. The ﬁrst Cars and Coffee was held in March, 2023 and this year was Saturday, January 13th. it now will give it time to work Jeff Melton photo before the growing season. Lawn • Control winter weeds such as wild garlic and chickweed with a broadleaf herbicide, according to the label, on a warm day. • Avoid heavy traffic on dormant lawns to prevent the plant's crown from being damaged or killed. Trees, Shrubs and Flowers • Early in the New Year, winter-flowering camellias (Camellia japonica) will begin displaying their beautiful blooms. Enjoy their show but be vigilant to rake up and dispose of any spent blossoms that drop to the ground. These fallen flowers are breeding material

for petal blight, a fungal disease that can discolor future blooms with ugly splotches of brown. • This time of the year is a good time to mulch landscape beds. Beds are easier to access during this time of year when there is less foliage and plants have died down. • Water plants just before a cold snap to help plants survive bitter temperatures. • Study your home landscape to see what additions or improvements can be made this spring. • Enjoy winter-blooming perennials such as hellebores, rosemary, and camellias. • House plants with large leaves and smooth foliage, such as philodendrons, dracaena, and rubber plants, benefit if their leaves are washed at intervals to remove dust and grime, helping keep the leaf pores open. Fruits, Vegetables and

Herbs • Order your small fruit plants like strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry for a mid-March planting. • January and February are the times to prune grapevines. • You can start cool season vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, collards, kale, lettuce, mustard, onions, garden peas, radishes, rutabagas, spinach, and turnips) indoors from seed in January. Plant these cool-season veggies outside in the garden in February. • Plant asparagus crowns this month when the soil is dry enough to work. • When reviewing your garden catalogs for new varieties to try, an important consideration is improved insect and/or disease resistance. Watch also for drought-tolerant types.

That tissue loss can be a side effect of aging, but even though the National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that half of all women over 50 will develop osteoporosis, older adults are not helpless against the condition. The Cleveland Clinic notes that cardiovascular exercise can help fight osteoporosis and reduce risk for hip fractures. It’s also important to note that men are not immune to osteoporosis, which has long been considered a more significant concern for women than men. Though women’s risk for osteoporosis is greater than men’s, UC San Diego Health reports that between 20 and 25 percent of all hip fractures occur in men. Cardio and your skin Physical activity increases circulation, which the Cleveland Clinic reports leads to clearer, healthier skin. Cardio promotes better blood flow to the skin cells on the face, which can reduce signs of aging and improve complexion.

In addition, routine cardiovascular exercise allows muscles to adapt to an increased workload, which can improve daily life by making routine physi-

Cardiovascular exercise is a key component of an effective fitness regimen. By committing to cardio, adults can benefit various parts of their bodies.

©Community First Media

Physical activity is a key component of a healthy lifestyle, and an effective fitness regimen is one that combines strength training with cardiovascular exercise. Recommendations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services urge adults to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week. Aerobic activity includes cardiovascular exercises like hiking, running, dancing, cycling, or other activities that increase the heart rate and improve cardiorespiratory fitness. Though cardiovascular exercise is often discussed in terms of its heart healthy benefits, the Cleveland Clinic reports that aerobic activities benefit various parts of the body, including the heart but also the brain, the joints, skin, and muscles. Cardio and your heart Routine cardiovascular exercise leads to a decrease in resting blood pressure and heart rate. That’s beneficial for the heart because it ensures the heart does not have to work unnecessarily hard. Cardiovascular exercise also improves good cholesterol levels and lowers blood fats, each of which also helps to improve heart health. Cardio and your brain The Alzheimer’s Society reports that studies have shown that exercise that increases heart rate in middleaged or older adults has led to improvements in thinking and memory and lower rates of dementia. The Cleveland Clinic notes that cardio also decreases stroke risk by increasing blood flow to the brain. Cardio and your joints Osteoporosis is a condi-

The Schiele Museum of Natural History is pleased to offer a free Teacher Institute to area K-12 teachers this summer. Thanks to a grant from North Carolina Humanities, a statewide nonprofit and the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, teachers will learn to implement cross-curricular education for their students based on the works of naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Schiele Teacher Institute is a program that provides natural history-based professional development classes to local teachers. Participating educators learn to incorporate relevant natural history into their lessons through meaningful excursions, professional resources, and museum collections. The first Institute, held in the summer of 2023, focused on Native

Schiele Institute Education Specialist Jenny Bumgarner says, “We want to ignite educators’ inspiration to find creative ways to engage and empower students to become agents of change in their schools and communities.” This year, North Carolina Humanities awarded over $344,000 in grants to 40+ organizations. Thanks to their support, the Schiele Teacher Institute remains free for local K-12 teachers. Summer Institute enrollment will open for applicants this spring.
