janiey § 6, 2005 The Kings Mountain Herald BY ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer Since 1941 Kerns Trucking has called Kings Mountain home. Local rock quarries attracted founders Clyde Kerns and Jim Kerns to the area. Today Clyde Kerns grand- sons, Butch and Clyde Kerns, run a business which serves the nation. The fleet working from the Kings Mountain headquarters includes 35 trucks. The Concord location, opened in 2003, includes 45 trucks. The Iron Station location, also opened in 2003, brokers loads going across the coun- try. “Most people know us as dump trucks in Kings Mountain but we’ve.gotten bigger than that,” said Doug Prestwood, business manag- er. Kerns officials credit diversification for its surviv- ing two recessions. Until 1991 gravel and sand were main stays. Today the com- pany hauls recycled goods, agricultural products and “anything imaginable in a dump truck,” Prestwood said. In November the compa- ny was named Fleet of the Month by Northland Insurance. The company started the recognition pro- gram a month earlier. “Our goal is to be the first two-time winner,” said Clyde Kerns, company vice- president. Butch Kerns is president of the company. He says safety is a habit at Kerns. Drivers are taught “haste makes waste.” A $500 annual safety bonus also works as an incentive.

Cleveland County has been chosen to receive $79,090 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and con- sists of representatives from The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, United Jewish Communities, Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A; and the United Way of America. The Local Board is charged to dis- tribute funds appropriated by Congress to expand the capacity of food and shelter pro- grams in high-need areas around the coun- try. A local board will determine how the funds awarded to Cleveland County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of funding. This funding is based on local needs as determined by the county’s unemployment rate. Under the terms of the grant from the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board, local public or private voluntary organizations eligible to receive funds must: 1) be non-profit or units of government, 2) have an accounting system and conduct an annual audit, 3) practice nondiscrimination, 4) provide regularly served meals, emer- gency food assistance, mass shelter, rent/mortgage assistance, or utilities and 5) have a voluntary board if a private volun- tary organization. All qualifying organiza- tions are urged to apply. Service providers requesting funds are asked to contact Julie Young, the local coordinator, for an applica- tion. Applications must be turned in at the United Way of Cleveland County office no later than noon on Tuesday, January 11, 2005. The local Emergency Food and Shelter board will meet at 1pm, Thursday, January 20, 2005 at the United Way of Cleveland County office (132 West Graham Street, Shelby). The Board will receive pro- posals from service providers, make agency awards, and set up and maintain an appeals process to govern disputes.
