Cleveland County Health officials said Monday that 71 people have reported being sick after the Sept. 7 Sandy Plains Baptist Church barbecue fundraiser, an event that has occurred in Shelby for 50 years and at- tracts thousands of people. Of the 54 cases, 11 have been confirmed and 60 are probable, according to DeShay Oliver. : The reported salmonella cases include 34 residents from Cleveland County and 37 from Rutherford County with 13 hospital- ized. Three people from Cleveland County were still in the hospital Sept. 20. Oliver said that although new cases are being reported, the most recent date of illness onset for all cases is September 14. She said this indicates that the illness is not continuing to spread. The Cleveland County and Rutherford County Health Departments in collaboration with the NC Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health are investigating this outbreak and have the following recommendations: » If you attended the event and became ill with intestinal symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting, consult your healthcare provider and inform them of your exposure at the event. * Persons who brought home food pur- chased at the fundraiser should discard it and not consume any remaining food. * Healthcare providers should inform their local health department of any associated case whether confirmed or suspected.

Kings Mountain’s Natural gas pipelines quietly, reliably and efficiently de- liver natural gas throughout the country for domestic and industrial use. As part of the greater industry’s 2.3 million miles of natural gas and liquid pipelines, Kings Mountain operates a natural gas distribution system that safely delivers large quantities of energy to fuel the economy and keep us warm every day. Pipelines are the safest and most cost effective way of de- livering energy in existence. The City of Kings Mountain would like to inform residents about the accident prevention efforts that are undertaken to main- tain the excellent pipeline safety record of the industry. Kings Mountain in- spects mains and services that are excavated as well as monitors above-ground piping for corrosion. They apply and monitor corrosion preven- tion measures to prevent steel from deteriorating below ground and they regularly patrol surface conditions for hazards to the pipelines. They also use leak detection equipment that can detect the tiniest quantities of gas to de- termine whether a leak may exist below ground. Equipment is inspected and maintained regularly as well, including below-ground emergency valves. In its ‘natural’ state, natural gas is colorless and odorless. The natural gas received by the City of Kings Mountain is mixed with an odorant so it is eas- ier to recognize a natural gas pipeline release. The odorant added to the nat- ural gas gives the gas a distinctive smell, often described as “rotten egg”. The City monitors the existence of this odorant to ensure its presence. Accidental releases of gas do occasionally occur, and in addition to the distinctive smell, other indications of a release may be a hissing, roaring sound, or blowing of dirt or dust. Persistent bubbles in water or pools of lig- uid with possible bubbling can also indicate a pipeline leak. If you smell, see, or hear any indications of a possible natural gas leak, please call the City of Kings Mountain at 704-734-4516 or emergency officials at 911 im- mediately. If there is an unintended release of gas, the main hazard is the chance of fire or explosion. If you have a gas release situation, immediately walk away, warning others to stay away or leave the area. Extinguish all sources of igni- tion such as, open flames, cell phones, pagers, motor vehicles or any other item that may cause a spark or static discharge. From a safe location contact the City of Kings Mountain at the number listed above or the emergency offi- cials. The leading cause of accidental releases of gas is due to damage of a below ground line by someone performing excavation or earth moving. The “NC 811” system was set up to help prevent this hazard. If you dig, please dial 811 or toll-free 1-800-632-4949 or log on to the website http://www2.ncocc.org/ncocc/default.htm to request a location of under- ground utilities. The North Carolina STATE LAW requires that excavators give at least 2 Day Notice prior to excavation. If you have any other questions or concerns about the City’s natural gas system, pipeline safety; or how to recognize or report a pipeline leak please give our office a call at 704-734-4516 we will WORK ™.= Mr Lean FOR YOU! + Funeral Directors + in the Service Directory Today! “It’s all taken I ON = =f 30 IT =< TJ > Belmont - 704.825.5301 www.mcleanfuneral.com "FUNERAL SERVICES Woodlawn Funeral Home 375 Woodlawn Ave. « Mt.
