Caring Child 11-year-old raising money for grave marker for friend BY ANDIE L. BRYMER® Staff Writer An eleven-year-old Kings Mountain youth is helping put a headstone on the grave of a friend of the family. “Everybody deserves a headstone,” Charles Rainey said. “They're poor and don’t have enough money to get one.” As of Friday, Rainey had raised $262. A total of $862 is needed to buy the stone and vase. Any additional money will be donated to charity. “I'm amazed somebody his age has come up with that,” said Donna Hester. “He's a special person in my book.” The headstone will go on the grave of Hester's brother David Allen Parker. The 33- year-old man was killed Jan. 19, 2003 while trimming trees at the home of Hester's boyfriend Yancey Sturgeon. A rope he was grave plot. Charles’ parents Philip and Tara Rainey describe Allen as someone who was always willing to help others. The day before his death, Parker helped Philip Rainey load landscaping shells. They describe Allen as a fun person who loved his four daughters and one son. When Charles learned that a new Mountain Rest Cemetery policy disallowed flowers on unmarked graves he got involved. His mother Tara calls the policy “sad.” The Raineys are not surprised at Charles’ actions. They describe him as a caring child. Charles is an honor student at North Elementary and has earned good citizenship awards. Charles placed collection jars at McAbee’s Store, L&L Auto on Long Branch Road and Red Wok Express and Bankhead Surveying, using touched a live electrical wire. Sturgeon paid for the funeral and casket. Allen’s uncle Ernest Parker paid for the LOCAL both in Shelby. Donations also may be mailed to the Raineys at 1307 Piedmont Avenue, Kings Mountain, N.C. 28086. Crosswalk begins tonight Despite forecasts of cold weather and possible pre- cipitation, organizers of this weekend's Crosswalk were upbeat Tuesday afternoon. “We're just doing what we're suppose to do and trusting the one in charge,” Reg Alexander said.

This year’s Crosswalk will include more live ani- mals, expanded sets, church and community choirs and a crucifixion scene. The fifth annual passion play which moves through Moore bill would allow freeze on credit reports Kings Mountain Representative Tim Moore along with two other legis- lators have introduced a bill that would allow consumers to place a freeze on their consumer credit report should they become a victim of identity theft. House Bill 608, Consumer Credit Protection Act, was introduced in the state House of Representatives today. If passed, the bill would prevent a consumer's credit rating from being damaged if they learn that their identity had been stolen, according to Moore. The consumer would have the option of placing the freeze on their file by submitting an application to a consumer credit reporting agency. The freeze would prevent credit information to be given out to a loan company unless the con- sumer gives permission. Law enforcement agen- cies, child support agencies, downtown will take place Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. A project of the non-profit Regal Ventures, the audience moves with the action cov- ering five blocks and seven scenes. Crosswalk began five years ago when community members wanted something similar to a live nativity. From there the idea devel- oped to use that model but around an Easter theme. Tickets are $5 or $4 for groups of 10 or more.
