LIFESTYLES
Winners were announced
for the “I AM WOMAN”
artist competition on Satur-
day June 1 at the Southern
Arts Society at the Depot.
Judge for the exhibit was
Susan Carlisle Bell, profes-
sor of art at Gardner Webb
University in Boiling
Springs. Ms. Bell selected
first, second and third place
prizes along with four merit
awards.
Forty-eight artists from
around the Carolinas entered
105 works of art in this
year's show. Entries ranged
from clay sculpture to paint-
ings in all media. Artwork in
the "I AM WOMAN" ex-
hibit is meant to speak to
Womanhood, the Feminine
or the Essence of being a
Woman.
First place was awarded
to Brenda Beard Bostian of
Gastonia for her oil painting
"Mistress Mary Imagina- ’
tion." Ms. Bell says of her
work “the artist is intuitively
responding to the language
of color and the act of paint-
ing. There is a wonderful in-
terplay of positive/negative
space, lost/found edges, de-
liberate strokes/spontaneity.”
Second place was
awarded to Todd Baxter of
Tega Cay for his oil painting
"Purple Hat." “Radiance of

Merit Awards were given
to Jessica Gordon, Elisa

by the Southern Arts Society.

ment. Groups are welcome.

Two Kings Mountain
men are hoping to stir up a
little excitement about his-
tory, and have some fun in
the process.
Doyle Campbell and
David Allen’s efforts to char-
ter a local chapter of Sons of .
the American Revolution are
gathering steam. The pair
has held a series of free
workshops since January at
the Resurrection Lutheran
Church on Crescent Circle to
generate interest and provide
education about the charter
project. The next workshop
is set for June 25.
“With the history of
Kings Mountain, this is the
right place, this is the right
time” Allen said, referring to

the 1780 Battle of Kings
Mountain and the state and
national parks that bear its
name. It was there that pa-
triot forces defeated loyalists
to the British crown in what
figured to be a turning point
in the young country’s war
for independence.
Now, 233 years later,
Campbell and Allen are
seeking descendants of those
who played a role in the his-
toric struggle to be a part of
something that honors the
past and takes a passionate
look at the history of the
area. “Those that fought on
our side, of course — that’s an
important stipulation,” Allen
says, referring to the moun-
tain men and farmers who
opposed and fought against
British rule.
Allen, a captain. in the
North Carolina Highway Pa-
trol, and Campbell, a retired
hospital administrator, have
a little help. They are both
members of the Charlotte
chapter of SAR, which will
promote and support a group
here until it can take form
and split off into a new en-
tity. But what they see them-

Mountain.
selves needing most right
now are local folks who care
about their link to the past.
“Of course, everybody
who’s eligible isn’t inter-
ested,” Campbell said.
Who is eligible? Males at
least 18 years of age who can
prove lineal bloodline de-
scent from an ancestor who
actively supported the 18th
century revolution.
Campbell, Allen and the
organization itself offer
some help in the research,

bers. Many web sites, like
ancestry.com, offer assis-
tance in the matter.
“People will need to be
somewhat invested,” Allen
said. “They’ll need to do a
lot of the legwork.”
The Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution has no affili-
ation with the larger and
well-known Daughters of
the ‘American Revolution,
but the two non-profits share
similar histories ‘and mis-
sions. SAR is actually 14
years older, dating back to
1876. Kings Mountain has
long maintained a Daughters
of the American Revolution
chapter.
