Commissioners take a moment of silence EMILY WEAVER wa eweaver@kingsmountainherald,com The Cleveland County Commission meeting at Grover Town Hall Tuesday night ended with a very reverent moment as commissioners remembered the tragedy at Virginia Tech in silence. County Commissioner Johnny Hutchins suggested the silence and Chairwoman Mary Accor put thefidea in motion. Vice Chairman Eddie Holbrook reminded them to remember the citizens in Cleveland County who attended Virginia Tech or have ties to the university. “One thing this tells us is to always expect the unexpected. Sometimes we get to the point where we just do not expect any- thing like that to ever happen,” Accor said, and then it does. Commissioner Ronnie Hawkins suggested that they talk with local law enforcement and the community college to make sure the county is prepared for such an incident. Also at the meeting: County Fire Marshal Dewey Cook pre- sented resolutions for updated fire insurance district maps. The new county map includes amendments to areas covered by 12 fire departments, including Grover Rural (“Old Yellow”), Bethlehem (“Big B”), and Oak Grove volunteer fire depart- ments. The amendments are to increase their boundaries from five miles to six miles. “It will be a savings to the peo- ple in our county in regards to fire insurance,” he told the board. “Right now, if they're not within the five mile boundary they don’t get a break on their insurance.” Commissioners unanimously approved the resolutions. They also approved subdividing a parcel of land in the Cleveland County Industrial Park to sell to Ingles Markets to be used as a back entrance to their property. The parcel of land that will be subdivided is part of the Telerx property in the park. Patrick McHenry given ‘Spirit of Enterprise’ Award The United States Chamber of Commerce today presented Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) with its annual "Spirit of Enterprise” award for his strong voting record on critical business issues in the second session of the 109th Congress. "Rep. McHenry proved to be a valuable ally to the business community last year, supporting measures to stimulate job cre- ation and spur economic growth," said Tom Donohue, Chamber president and CEO. "The business community appre- ciates Patrick's dedication to a pro-growth agenda and we are proud to present him with this award." The Chamber's prestigious "Spirit of Enterprise” award is given annually to members of Congress based on rankings it gives for key business votes out- lined in its yearly publication, "How They Voted." Rep. McHenry compiled a 93% score with the Chamber last year and holds a cumulative 91% ranking during his tenure in Congress. The Chamber's designated "key votes" are recorded floor votes on issues established as priorities by the Chamber's board of directors, on which the Chamber informs Congress of its position prior to the vote. Senators and House members who support the Chamber's position on at least 70% of these key votes receive the "Spirit of Enterprise” award. 2 £5 BS n 2 BE From 1A teams are ready for the chal- lenge.

Our friends got us involved and we started going out and just the comraderie was amazing,” he said. “It’s a competition, yes, but it’s still like if somebody needs something there’s three or four people there to help them out.” He added if someone runs out of chicken and you have some extra then you'll share with the other team even if it means they could beat you with your own chicken.
