Page 2A The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net Chat n Nibble celebrates 10 years Chat n Nibble, a Kings Mountain restau- rant on N. Piedmont Ave., is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Julie and Jerry Yawn, owners and opera- tors, said the firm will celebrate with patrons Tuesday by raffling t-shirts and door prizes and cutting a cake and serving it at lunch time.

The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m.-2 p.m. and on Saturday from 6 a.m.-1 p.m. Cleveland County Democrats convene to hear candidates and gear up for campaign Cleveland County De- mocrats gathered in annual convention Saturday to cheer on their candidates and rally for a hard-fought general election in Novem- ber. Robin Smith of Kings Mountain, elected new chair of the county party, pledged its commitment to helping Democratic candidates win across the ballot. “Meet the candidates” was a main theme of the convention, held at the County Office Building au- ditorium, and the program was led off by those on the Democratic ballot in the May 6 primary for the party’s nomination for dis- trict attorney and county coroner. Following them were unopposed Dem candi- dates who’ll be on the No- vember ballot, focusing on the platforms they’ll take forward. Each received ap- plause and “amens” to calls for high Dem turnout to win in this non-presidential elec- tion year. Smith was elected CCDP chair to serve the remaining year of Chair Nick Carpen- ter’s unexpired term. Car- penter, who’s a candidate for the N.C. House District 111 seat now held by Rep. Tim Moore of Kings Mountain, thanked Dems for the oppor- tunity to serve and their sup- port, encouraging them to continue working hard to- ward victory in November. Smith has been county party treasurer and a mem- ber of the officer team lead- ing its Executive Committee. She also is one of the county party’s repre- - sentatives on the N.C. Dem- ocratic Party Executive Committee. Active locally in support of the 2008 and 2012 general election cam- paigns, she was elected a state delegate to the 2012 National Democratic Con- vention in Charlotte. Founder and president of It Takes A Village Child De- velopment Center in Kings Mountain, Smith earned a Robin Smith master’s degree in manage- ment at Pepperdine Univer- sity and served 15 years’ active duty in the U.S. Army in the United States and abroad, leaving active duty as a field-grade officer at the rank of major. With other veterans, she’s now in the U. S. Army Retired Reserves. The convention unani- mously adopted resolutions on two issues. One is in sup- port of public education in Cleveland County, asking legislators representing the county to support only leg- islation positively affecting public education. The other resolution is in support of the proposed Catawba Na- tion Economic Project in Kings Mountain, calling upon local governing bodies and organizations to advo- cate for it, asking that its federal application be ap- proved, and asking the state of North Carolina to support the Catawba Nation Resort in the same way it supports the resort operated by the Eastern Band of the Chero- kee Nation in western N.C. Two other resolutions were adopted unanimously in appreciation of the leader- ship and service of two longtime county Democ- rats—the late James W. Gold, a party leader and chair of the Shelby 7 Demo- cratic precinct organization, and the late Lester (Les) Roark, former Shelby city councilman and mayor.
