President’s Inauguration Public hearing 6 pm Tuesday
KM Boulevard renaming on KM Council agenda ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
AT INAUGURATION - Wayne King and his son, Noah, are shown in Washington, DC on Friday for the inauguration of Donald John Trump as president. The Capitol is in the background and the seated section where they sat is behind them.
Awesome trip says Noah King North Elementary second grader Noah King, 8, had lots to tell his little friends when he went back to school this week. He saw five of the six living men who have served as President of the United States and saw Donald John Trump inaugurated as the 45th President. He will probably have pictures of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Jimmy Carter, and the new President Trump to show to his classmates and of course there will be pictures of the crowds. He was told that the sixth living president, the first President Bush, could not attend because of health reasons. “Sometimes he’s funny. It was awesome to see the President and former Presidents,’’ said young King. “He (Trump) said he would make America great again for ev-
eryone.” “President Trump pledged to put America first which is much needed,’’ said Wayne King. “He also paid specific respect to the people who make us safe every day in the military and the men and wo men in law enforcement.” King, who has been in Republican politics almost all his life, wanted to show his son Washington, DC and the inauguration. Noah went with his Dad to Charlotte and met Trump when he was campaigning for the highest office in the land. So, he was ready to make the trip to D. C. Wayne is Deputy Chief of Staff for US Congressman Mark Meadows in the 16-county district of Western North Carolina and is also chairman of the Cleveland County Board of Elections.

City Council will hold public hearing Tuesday night at 6 p.m. on the proposed renaming of Kings Mountain Boulevard. “There are strong feelings in the community that
MAYOR SCOTT NEISLER
CURTIS PRESSLEY
Kings Mountain Boulevard should remain Kings Mountain Boulevard and that if a person’s name is attached to any street that it should be an honorarium,’’ said Doug Lawing, chairman of the Kings Mountain Planning & Zoning Board. Previously matters that could involve the planning and zoning board have been studied by the board and recommendations made to the city council which has final say. City Attorney Mickey Corry said that since no zoning was to be considered that it was council’s decision. What portion of Kings Mountain Boulevard is to be renamed? Mayor Scott
Neisler says the boulevard ends when the old Dixon School Road comes into the new road just south of Compact School Road. There are numerous roads that come into the main road If it starts at Shelby Road, Margrace, Phifer, S. Battleground-Grover Road, Compact School Road, Dixon School Road. Corry said he hopes questions will be answered at Tuesday’s meeting. Neisler said the Department of Transportation was contacted about the proposed name change and they gave the green light for the proposed project. Lawing said that when streets are renamed that
mailing addresses have to be changed, maps have to be redrawn and there is administrative work to be done. “Honorariums are the way to go, that way no signs or maps have to be changed, no mailing addresses changed.’’ The mayor said only nine mailing addresses would have to be changed in the renaming of Kings Mountain Boulevard. A legal advertisement from the City of Kings Mountain in last week’s Herald called for the public hearing “regarding the renaming of Kings Mountain Boulevard in honor of a member from the African See KM BOULEVARD, Page 7A

Trump's Inauguration Ugly American Rancor By Dr. Glenn Mollette By the time you read this column the Inauguration may be over. Like it or not Donald Trump is Glenn Mollette your Presi- Guest Editorial dent. Even if you claim he is not your President - he is. If you continue your citizenship in America he is your President. I heard and read reports of people who said they would leave the United States if Trump were elected President. How many have left or when are they leaving? Don't let the door hit you on the behind when you leave. Actually, that's not the attitude to have. The correct attitude is, "Come on people now love one another," or something like that. I'm all for us loving and hugging each other but it doesn't seem to be on the horizon for our country. I voted for Obama the first time but I voted for Trump this time. One of the reason's I voted for Obama was because of healthcare and stem cell research. We must have stem cell research to find cures for numerous diseases. I was impacted greatly by healthcare with a very sick spouse for twelve years. I know the pain of a medical insurance crisis. I also voted against Obama because he and Congress messed up healthcare so bad. I voted for Trump not necessarily because I am now a registered Republican but because we desperately need a new direction in this country. We have few jobs, a failing economy, failing infrastructure, growing poverty, tremendous despair and a nation run over by illegal immigrants. We also have a healthcare crisis. Of all the candidates I saw Trump as being in the best position to do some things to change our spiraling direction as a nation.
Congress people who have pledged to not attend Trump's Inauguration are free to stay home. Hopefully when their districts vote again they will let them stay home permanently. How will they feel if Trump and a Republican led Congress decide not to give additional money to their districts and refuse to work with them on any bills they might offer to Congress? I don't think that's the American way but sadly has become the American way. I'm not into an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Slapping each other back and forth accomplishes nothing but more ugly rancor. What we all need to see are Democrats and Republicans and Independents crossing the aisle, shaking hands and working together to bring jobs back to America. Together they must work to save our infrastructure crisis. Bring safe and clean water to America's communities. Infuse hope into our struggling military and elevating our beaten down Veterans. Equal opportunities and equal rights for all can only happen if the people in Washington treat each other with equal respect. This means doing unto others the way they want to be treated. Many people today are ready to join a movement. One movement we desperately need is a movement that involves all people from all parties, all states, all colors, all nationalities reaching out to each other with a passion to work hard, have strong individual ideas but determined to work together to solve our problems and make this country great again!

But now the rub- to be 52 day Christians ber has met the road, so to (just Sundays) but 365 day speak, maybe it’s getting Christians who let the love harder to meet your expec- of Christ shine. tations. After John bap-
tized Jesus in the chilly waters of the Jordon River, there was a new purpose to what John had been proclaiming in the desert. As he announced the coming of Christ, and telling of the power of God’s redeeming love… he had his own encounter with the promised Messiah. John didn’t simply have a message of hope “some” days of the week, no, he had a message that stretched from the desert to the city. John 1:29, ”John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
Are you like John in this New Year? Are ever refreshing yourself with the living Gospel, the Good News? Are you praying and asking for guidance to do everything God has for you to do? OR has the spirit of generosity faded as fast as our new year’s resolutions. It’s time for us to take a long hard look in the spiritual mirror and ask God to lead and guide us in Christian service to one another. Let you light so shine before other they you radiate the Lame of God, the one who takes away the
sins of the world. Let your life live out loud what God has placed in your heart. Don’t get weighed down by the ills of this world, but take encouragement knowing that you have a divine purpose in life that ever leads to the Cross of Christ…. So, my friendsdon’t let your New Year’s resolutions become stagnant, and for the love of God and Neighbor, don’t let your Christians witness dim! May the blessings of Almighty God be with you now, and forever more. Amen.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—The people of South Sudan flee their war-torn country looking for refuge in Uganda. Mostly women and children, they experience the trauma of losing husbands, fathers, siblings and their own self-worth. Jamie Elizabeth Efird, GW Class of 2016, has worked with mission groups to bring them a message of hope. “My heart breaks for the people of South Sudan,” Efird asserted. “They have experienced more years of war than peace since their independence from (Northern) Sudan in 2011.

Highlighted events include a large school choice celebration January 24 at the Foundation for the Carolinas. The counties of Union and Pasquotank and cities of Bethel, Charlotte, Clemmons, Enfield, Garysburg, Goldsboro, Harrisburg, Hope Mills, Lake Lure, Mint Hill, Morehead City, Mount Olive, Raeford, Wesley Chapel, and West Jefferson have issued official proclamations recognizing January 22-28, 2017 as “School Choice Week.” National School Choice Week provides families in North Carolina with the opportunity to research and evaluate the K-12 school choices available for their children in advance of the 2017-2018 school year. The Week also raises
awareness of the importance of providing every child with effective education options. “Children’s Scholarship Fund-Charlotte is excited about being involved in School Choice Week this year. Hosting this event will give our participating independent schools and homeschools an opportunity to showcase their programs to parents who seek education options for their children (grades K-8) in the 2017-2018 academic year,” said Ann Barnes, executive director of the Children’s Scholarship Fund-Charlotte. “Over the last 10 years, educational opportunities for children and families in North Carolina have grown significantly,” said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. “This is something to celebrate, and National School Choice Week will provide an unprecedented opportunity to celebrate the hard work and cooperation that made these choices a reality.” With a goal of raising public awareness of effective education options for children, National School Choice Week will be the largest celebration of education options in US history.

American Community in Kings Mountain. Comments, oral or written, concerning the renaming of Kings Mountain Boulevard from all interested citizens will be considered.” At a recent council meeting the suggestion to rename the boulevard the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was suggested by city councilman Curtis Pressley. With some dis-
cussion, it was suggested that the boulevard/street be named in honor of a prominent African American from the Kings Mountain community. “We like to honor our own folks who have given so much to our community,’’ the mayor said after the meeting. The mayor says he expects a crowd to attend Tuesday’s council meeting.

The Ashbrook High School ROTC Cadets, military groups in full uniform, the Panther Fan Man with his Van with autographs of the Panthers on it, Police K-9 Units, and many more will participate. Mayor Scott Neisler will be master of ceremonies. The Kings Mountain Fire Department will display their firetruck holding up a large flag for posting of the colors. The public is invited to cheer runners as they cross the finish line. Dove grew up in Clover, SC and has lived in Kings Mountain 15 years and worked at Lifeway Christian Book Store in Gastonia. She grew up helping her aunt and uncle, marathon runners Wayne and Kathy Terry, time races in South Carolina and when her uncle became ill she worked a 5K and 10K race by herself five years ago, and she got hooked on racing and timing races. She launched Finish Well Timing five years ago, in Kings Mountain and by her fourth year in the business was running 40-50 races in the Carolinas and Georgia and found her niche. She loves to sponsor racing benefits, church and Bible camp races, and this
year she will time the Seventh Inning Stretch at the American Legion World Series in Shelby. Dove’s son, Max, 24, is in the National Guard and she says she honors his service by sponsoring races and spurring patriotism and love of country. She is engaged to Neil Dowell and they plan to be married on May 20th at Grace Lutheran Church in Bessemer City. Her parents are Harold Ray of Kings Mountain and the late Linda Ray. Twelve classes of runners participate in the competitive race and prizes are awarded. There is a $20 entry fee and runners can register at www.finishwelltiming.com Tom Wells is calling on businesses and organizations for sponsorships which run from $50 to $2500 and/ or in kind sponsorships such as food and drink, water, music and entertainment, printing of posters, race banners, awards, and gift certificates. The various sponsorship categories relate to the military: Private, Airman Basic, Seaman Recruit, Airman First Class, Petty Officer, First Class, Sergeant First Class, Sergeant Major and General. “Officer Brackeen gave his life with his service and what we are asking is that the community give something in return,’’ said Dove.
FAMILIES According to National School Choice Week’s organizers, families in North Carolina can use the Week to look for K-12 schools for the 2017-2018 school year. Parents in the Tar Heel State can choose from the following education options for their children: traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, online academies, private schools, and homeschooling. The state also has a program allowing qualifying children, in some cases, to receive scholarships to attend private schools.

CALL TO MISSIONS From Page 6A
teams to unreached people and places. When Efird came home to Cherryville, N.C., she took her time to discern the call on her life. She decided a Master of Divinity in Intercultural Studies could prepare her for ministry. “I chose to attend Gardner-Webb after speaking with Admissions Director Kheresa Harmon,” she reflected. “She was my first clue that Gardner-Webb Divinity School has a more personal atmosphere, and the faculty and staff really care about students. This was not my experience at other schools I had considered. Gardner-Webb also offered a lot of scholar-
ship opportunities.” Efird’s classes gave her practical experience, and her professors offered additional opportunities for academic growth. The most memorable was Professor of Missiology Dr. Terry Casiño, who taught students the questions to ask and ideas to consider when seeking to understand a culture, society or worldview. “I valued the investment that professors made in my education and their genuine concern for me as a person,” she observed. “Many of them encouraged me and shared with me in ministry opportunities outside of required class time. In my field of study, we were required to take a practicum travel course
and travelled to five different countries in Asia. We met with local church leaders and missionaries in each country and learned about their work and unique challenges. We had cultural immersion tasks, which involved us not being able to have a local guide or translator with us.” On a recent mission trip to refugee camps in Northern Uganda, Efird helped lead a conference for South Sudanese church leaders, who were all female. She assisted with presentations on trauma counseling and biblical teaching. “The majority of South Sudanese women are illiterate, so we focused on equipping them for oral storytelling of major Biblical narratives,”
described Efird, who now lives in Kings Mountain, N.C. “I want to see a change from the cycle of violence that has been repeating itself in Sudan. I dare to dream that perhaps a need for revenge can be replaced by forgiveness, that blessing could be extended to those who have spewed curses, that a view of equality and brotherhood could overcome deep animosity and embedded thoughts of tribal superiority. I dare to dream that hate could be replaced by love. This is the message of hope we proclaim through the gospel of Jesus Christ, a message of transformation, not just for individuals but for communities and societies.”

at Greenville in December. She graduated in Coursework in Sustainability and Environmental Management from Harvard University and earned a non-profit management certificate with concentration on program management and development from Duke University and has earned numerous training and professional certificates. A former Senior Regional Planner with Isothermal Planning & Development for three years Feb. 2013-March 2016, she has worked with Steve Killian in Kings Mountain 18 months. She previously managed the three-county region’s Appalachian Resource Commission funding through grants and technical assistance among other things. She is quite proud of one program in the Rutherford, Polk, McDowell Health District at Spindale that resulted in a Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) project which engaged people in active lifestyle changes to prevent and manage chronic disease. The program also used web-based apps to locate publicly owned recreation/ physical activity opportunities and fresh food outlets, such as farmer’s markets and roadside farm stands. “Summit Sustainability’’ included hours of research to
get a better understanding of the environment on public health in rural communities included special surveys on senior citizen heat related illnesses and presented her findings to the 2015 conference of Western NC Aging and Environmental Health. From August 2012 through January 2013 she was a part time Environmental and Social Justice Project planner for Piedmont Together developing a regional sustainability plan as required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). At UNC Greensboro from August 2010-January 2013 she worked closely with facilities services to reduce energy consumption, improving indoor air quality, and reducing water usage across the campus, designing programs that were presented nationally. She was employed as the Sustainability Education and Outreach Coordinator. For 10 years (June 20052015) she was an independent multi-media content developer, writing NC climate stories, participating in a radio documentary team covering immigration to central North Carolina and publishing more than 500 photos, and visiting many places in the state giving voice to people who are often overlooked. Grant writing has been one of her specialties, plus web development, audio recording,
training and teaching. Organic gardening, cooking and baking, distance running, swimming and yoga are hobbies. Her family hike together and she enjoys sewing, painting, crafting and classical piano. She met her husband, Bart, when both were students at UNC-G. They reside in the Golden Valley area of Rutherford County and their pride and joy are their two children: Elsa, 5, and Ira, 2. Family time is a priority for Jessica. Jessica commutes to Kings Mountain five days a week. “It’s 48 minutes one way and I use that time to think about my schedule of events for the day,’’ she says. Her husband is a chief supporter of her vocation and talents and usually has supper on the table when she gets home. One of her top priorities for Kings Mountain is launching a comprehensive planning process with members of a steering committee to get in full swing in February and continue meeting monthly throughout 2017. Each councilman is appointing one member and one alternate to the steering committee. After they study data complete their input, the plan will go to the Planning and Zoning Board for comment and recommendation to the full city council for adoption. City Council is expected to appoint the steering committee Jan. 31.
Jessica’s Planning & Economic Development Department is currently involved in two major projects: The rehabilitation of two buildings downtown that received a half million dollars grant recently and the plans by Orchard Trace for 920 new units of housing in the area of Margrace and KM Boulevard. Her department is also involved in implementation of a city branding and marketing effort, a bike and pedestrian plan implementation, a water quality management program on Moss Lake, and a development plan for a $14 million-dollar library facility. Enforcing zoning ordinances, site planning, facilitating the planning and zoning board and board of adjustments, Moss Lake Commission, and large scale reorganization are on her busy schedule. She is also responsible for managing the city’s 1600-acre reservoir that serves as the municipal drinking water source and supervises four employees. Obviously, Jessica loves what she does and does what she loves. This week she’s moving into a larger office in the Planning Department on the second floor at city hall. She welcomes input from the community and her office door is always open.

Public reception Saturday for “Class Act”at Southern Arts Society at Depot A public reception will be held Saturday from 6-8 p.m. in the Reavis Gallery at the Southern Arts Society for the newest exhibit “Class Act” featuring instructor Darlene Godfrey and eight of her students from her class at Cleveland Community College in Shelby. Godfrey has taught painting at CCC for several years, having graduated from there herself before receiving a degree from Gardner-Webb University. Godfrey describes her students “as a great group of creative individuals, each with their own style and way of doing art, not feeling intimidated and enjoying the process”. The artwork in the show is primarily done in watercolor which Godfrey loves and excels at – both in teaching and painting herself. Watercolor is a challenging medium to work in and Godfrey is quick to give encouragement to her students. Exhibiting alongside their teacher are students: Beth Caveny, Carol Cox, Janet Dyer, Jane Edwards, Sherry Henderson, Jim Martin, Pat Parr and Evelyn

Army grateful as Christmas campaigns creep near goals By Cassie Herndon Tarpley Special to The Herald
SHELBY – Blessed and hopeful. That’s Sgt. Les Ashby’s reaction to results from The Salvation Army’s Christmas season fundraising. “I want to thank the community for its response,” Ashby said, “all the donors, bell ringers, the merchants, the Angel Tree sponsors – because we just can’t continue to do what we do without the support of our community.” Advisory Board Chair Chris Mabry agrees, he said. “I have witnessed a wonderful effort by our staff and Advisory Board members as well as so many community volunteers and organizations this past year that have given their time and talents.” The Star-sponsored Empty Stocking Fund, what
the Army terms “Christmas Cheer,” raised $23,916.05, just shy of the $25,000 goal set by the newspaper. Bell ringing at the red kettles topped 2015’s total by $16,000, bringing in $95,080, Ashby said, but still short of his goal. “Our goal was $100,000,” he said, raising his hand and declaring, “but God is good!” The corps’ annual mail campaign garnered about $10,000, falling about $6,000 short of the 2015 total. One Krugerrand and a few other coins of interest will be put up for sealed bids and bring in some additional money. “These results are good,” Ashby said, but a wellknown Army slogan expresses his feelings at this point. “‘Need knows no sea-
son,’ and we need people to keep giving throughout the year. Even a monthly gift of $25 would be helpful to us in our budget. It’s $40- to $45,000 each month that we need just to run this operation,” he said. In addition to Christmas help in 2016, Cleveland County cases totaled 1,008 representing 2,832 individuals. Those people received help with rent, utilities, food, clothing and prescription medicines. “Thank you to all who have served in so many ways to make this a great Christmas for those in need and a strong start for 2017,” Mabry said. “Please keep The Salvation Army in your prayers as we seek to improve our facilities this year so we may continue to be efficient and good stewards of our gifts for our neighbors

in Cleveland and Rutherford counties.” PROPERTY REPAIRS NEEDED As the Shelby corps gets ready to move its rented office space at 311 N. Lafayette St. back into the church-owned property at 305-307 N. Lafayette St., re-
pairs are necessary that will require donations in cash and kind from the community, Ashby said. Plans are underway for work on the buildings and the parking lot. Donations may be sent to The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 1764, Shelby,
NC 28151. For more information about the corps and what you might do to help its mission, contact Sgt. Ashby at 704-418-5351 or 704-4820375. To reach Chairman Mabry, call 704-472-1906. On the Web: salvationarmy.org

KM/SHELBY: Ladies win, one game out of first place in SMAC From Page 1B action and would need undefeated East Rutherford (10-0) and Shelby (7-2) to fall apart in the stretch run to have a shot at retaining their SMAC championship. The Lady Mountaineers led the entire game even though Shelby was in striking distance in the first half. KM was on top 12-9 after the first period and 27-18 at the half. They outscored the Lady Lions 19-11 in the third period to break the game open. The final score actually was not as close as it indicated as Coach Adam Cooke substituted freely throughout the contest. Kings Mountain led 56-34 midway through the fourth period. Shelby scored 10 of their 15 fourth quarter points after that. Hannah Clark led the
Mountaineer attack with 20 points, including 13 in the second half. Ka’Myiah Pressley added 11 points and 14 rebounds. L’Mea Littlejohn, daughter of former Mountaineer athlete Lamont Littlejohn, led the Lady Lions with 14 points. The KM boys led only briefly at the start of the game as the Lions put up what was probably their best effort of the season to avenge an earlier loss in Shelby. The Lions led by only 26-25 at intermission, but came out blazing with a 16-0 run that put them up 42-25 with 4:35 left in the third quarter. Kings Mountain finally broke the scoring drought with a 3-pointer from Adrian Delph, but Shelby kept blazing and built a 48-30 lead with 1:48 left in the third. Shelby’s Quay Kim-
ble led all scorers with 24 points and Justin Boyd added 23. Delph scored 14 and Zeke Littlejohn 12 for the Mountaineers. Kings Mountain will be back at home Friday night against county rival Crest, and will travel to RS Central for a big test on Tuesday. After that, the Mountaineers will have just two more regular season games, against Chase at home on February 3 and at East Burke on February 9.

In a nutshell, Medicare fraud happens when Medicare is purposely billed for services or supplies that were never provided or received. Here are a few examples of some different types Medicare fraud that’s out there: • A healthcare provider bills Medicare for services you never received. • A supplier bills Medicare for equipment you never got. • Someone uses your Medicare card to get medical care, supplies, or equipment.
• A company offers a Medicare drug plan that has not been approved by Medicare. • A company uses false information to mislead you into joining a Medicare plan. What You Can Do The best way for you to spot Medicare fraud is to review your quarterly Medicare Summary Notices (MSN) or your Explanation of BeneďŹ ts (EOB). Be on the lookout for things like charges for medical services, medications or equipment you didn’t get, dates of services and charges that look unfamiliar, or if you were billed for the same thing twice. You can also check your Medicare claims early online at MyMedicare.gov (you’ll need to create an account ďŹ rst), or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. If you do spot any unusual or questionable charges, your ďŹ rst step is to contact your doctor or health care provider. The charge may just be a simple billing error. If, however, you can’t resolve the problem with the provider, your next step is to report the question-
able charges to Medicare at 800-6334227, or to the Department of Health and Human Services OfďŹ ce of Inspector General Fraud hotline at 800-4478477. When you call in, have the MSN or EOB with the questionable charges handy because you’ll need to provide them with the following information: your Medicare card number; the physician, supplier, and/or facility name where the service was supposedly provided; the date the service was rendered; the payment amount approved and paid by Medicare; as well as the reason you think Medicare shouldn’t have paid. As an incentive, if the suspicious activity you report turns out to be fraud, you may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. If you need help identifying or reporting Medicare fraud or resolving your Medicare billing errors, contact your state Senior Medicare Patrol program, which provides free assistance. Go to smpresource.org or call 877-808-2468 for contact information.
Protect Yourself To help you protect yourself from becoming a victim of Medicare fraud, you need to guard your Medicare card like you would your credit cards, and don’t ever give your Medicare or Social Security number to strangers. Also, don’t ever give out your personal information to someone who calls or comes to your home uninvited to get you to join a Medicare plan. Medicare will never call or visit your home to sell you anything. It’s also a smart idea to keep records of your doctor visits, tests, and procedures so you can compare them with any suspicious charges on your MSN or EOB.

South Fork River Park OUTDOOR TRUTHS is a nearby wilderness By Gary Miller ller
Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ
If you think it’s necessary to drive to the mountains for a walk in virgin woodlands or to paddle down a river, then think again. Gaston County has a park just five minutes from downtown Mount Holly where those options and more are available. South Fork River Park is located on 44 acres at the end of Mountainview Street off Hickory Grove Road. The park boasts three trails with a total length of about one mile. The main trail, from the parking area to the South Fork River, was carved from a former dirt roadbed. The trails are broad, smooth, covered with gravel and feature benches where hikers can rest. A picnic table and more benches are on the riverbank where 800 feet of shoreline have been cleared. There’s plenty of nature to enjoy. As you walk the main trail to the South Fork River, you can hear the rapids even before they come into sight. And what a sight it is – the rushing, sparkling whitewater flows over boulders and around an island in the middle of the river. Upstream from the rap-
South Fork River Park, located five minutes from downtown Mount Holly, offers trails, benches, and picnic areas. Photo provided ids, the waters of the South Fork River are calmer. The smoother water is ideal for canoeing and kayaking, and the park provides paddlers with a riverbank ramp to launch their watercraft. Fishing will no doubt be a popular activity at South Fork River Park, as huge catfish swim in those waters. Birdwatchers will have plenty to see with many species of warblers, woodpeckers and songbirds populating the forest. Waterfowl of several types are
also evident. Mammals run the gamut, from deer to beavers. Several types of lizards can be seen darting among the rocks and leaves that line the trails. Plant life in South Fork River Park is diverse. The land is located where famed French botanist Andre Michaux discovered the rare Big Leaf Magnolia during the 18th century. South Fork River Park also includes another trail that leads to a stream at the base of a scenic cliff.
Though enjoyment of nature is the theme of South Fork River Park, there are some rules in place to preserve that tranquility. These include a ban on ATVs, hunting, campfires, alcoholic beverages and concealed weapons. The park is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information on South Fork River Park, visit the Gaston County Parks and Recreation website at www.co.gaston. nc.us/parksandrec/ or call 704-922-2160.
This has been one of the warmest winters I can remember. Even though there have been a few cold weeks, for the most GARY MILLER part it is as predicted – above normal. Last week and this week have temperature prediction highs in the 60’s and lows in the 40’s. What is normally a dead time for human activity has become an almost springtime event. Not only is it affecting the human world, but all creatures and creation are going about things differently because of the unseasonably warm weather. In my area the lakes and rivers are already producing crappie and walleye. Fishermen are having success in early January that is usually not had until February. I’ve even seen areas of plants that are showing the ‘green’ of spring. Even though this years’ warmth is attributed to La Niña, we are told the last three years have been the warmest three consecutive years for our planet. While many of us have been skeptical about climate change, it looks like it could be true. How much mankind is attributing to it, is still very debatable. The problem is, when change comes so very slow – almost negligible, it is hard to both notice it and want to do something about it. The warnings have been coming for so long and the change has been so small, it’s hard to believe it is going to happen. So, we just keep on going our own way and doing our own thing. We’ll be fine if it’s not happening. If it is, we may wait until it’s too late to do anything about it. For centuries now, pastors, preachers, lay people, and theologians have been warning us of the day that Jesus will return. Much like the skepticism of climate change, many people ignore these warnings and continue as if things will go on as it is forever. It seems to them since the warnings have been coming for so long and the change has been so slight, there is no need to think the future will be any dissimilar. What is different about this scenario is this. One writer of the Bible (Peter) predicted this denial! He said, “I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.” (2 Pet 3:3-4 NLT) See it? They too believed what was predicted about Jesus’ return would never happen. And many people still do. Let me give you another one. Do you believe Jesus will return this next year? Do you believe He will return in the next month or week? What about the next hour? Do you believe He will return in the next hour? No one does! “You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” ~ Jesus (Matt 24:44 NIV). gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

If you or someone you know is thinking about quitting, there is support. Smokers can talk to their healthcare providers about quitting and review the cessation options that are available through their health insurance. They can also take advantage of the free quitting support service, QuitlineNC at 1-800-QUITNOW(1-800-784-8669) or go to www.QuitlineNC.com.

Yet, Bessemer City Council recognizes that tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure are leading preventable causes of illness and premature death in North Carolina and the nation. So help our City with a heart be Tobacco and Smoke Free. For more information about the ordinance visit www.bessemercity.com.
Bessemer City is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its citizens, youth and the visiting public. As of August 8th, the Bessemer City Council passed a new ordinance that would prohibit the use of tobacco products and e-cigs in all City owned buildings, City owned vehicles, and City parks.
