Page 2A Market Minutes win MArgot Fall is just around the cor- ner, and unfortunately, that means that Foothills Farmers’ Market Kings Mountain only has a few more weeks until season’s end. The market is scheduled to close on September 27 with a special Holiday mar- ket in November. The market has seen some challenges this, its first full season. The street where our market is held has been torn up, dusty, muddy and bumpy, as many of our streets are these days in Kings Mountain. | think we are all ready for the water line project to come to a close. As market manager, | truly appreciate all the loyal shoppers and vendors who are there every week to support this market. We have also been dealing with funding issues. This one could be a deal breaker, folks. Your Kings Moun- tain Farmers’ market needs some pledges of local sup- port from individuals and businesses to be able to operate next year. This market has been a blessing to many -through relationship building, community activity, a source of sizable donations through the Farmer Foodshare pro- gram to our local soup kitchens, as well as a traffic The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com Margot Plonk i Foothills Farmers [3 Market % & generator for downtown businesses.

Alternately, you may reply to Foothills Farmers’ Mar- ket, 130 Post Road, Shelby, NC 28152 It’s all about the audience Years ago, when | was just starting out as a play- 7 wright, a wise director told me, “Always remem- ber, it's always Robert Inman about Special the au- to the Herald dience” It’s great advice I've followed through my career, and it's the advice we follow as we continue rehearsals for my eighth play, “Liberty Mountain.” When the curtain goes up at the Joy Performance Center for the opening night Gala Performance on Friday, October 3, it will be all about giving the audience a memorable theatre experience. A play begins with the author, imagining charac- ters, putting them in a par- ticular time and place, and crafting their story. But when that work is done, it's simply words on paper. The playwright’s job is mostly done. That's when the theatre company — di- rector, actors, and techni- cal experts — take over and turn those words on paper into magic on stage. The director is key, and we have a great one, Caleb Sigmon. He brings a wealth of theatre knowl- edge to the work, and en- ergizes it with youthful creativity and enthusiasm. Caleb is excited about put- ting “Liberty Mountain” on stage for our audiences, and communicates that to everyone else in the com- pany. The director is the gen- eral, putting his troops in the right place at the right time and giving them the acting tools they need, both physical and emo- tional. But no playwright and no director can be successful without a tal- ented cast of actors, and there again we are mighty fortunate. It's a huge cast - - around sixty men, women and children - and that’s what it takes to tell such a sweeping story of America’s beginnings and the battle at Kings Mountain that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War. The cast members must do more than just act. They must become the people they represent in the story, with all their hopes and fears, triumphs and tragedies. Their job is to make sure the audience sees real people on stage, not just actors. The rehearsal process makes sure that the actors have every opportunity to invest themselves in the story. It begins scene-by- scene, with the cast talk- ing through their characters, understanding their motivations, and then learning how they move about on stage, interacting with each other, and deliv- ering their lines so that the scene comes to life. When the individual scenes are in place, Caleb and the cast put them to- gether and begin to run entire acts in sequence. And in the final days of re- hearsals, scenes become the entire play. Behind the scenes, equally important things are going on. Costumer Katy Biser is creating au- thentic period clothing, Linebergers © Linebergers MUSCADINES Pumpkins! Gourds!

Original music has been written and recorded. Lighting and sound effects will add an- other dimension to the process. Since this story centers on a battle, weapons — muskets, swords, bayonets, knives and tomahawks — will help complete the picture of 1780 for the audience. I've never been prouder of a theatre company than | am of this one. They are talented and motivated. They come to rehearsals on time with great atti- tudes. They share my be- lief that it’s all about the audience. And because of them, | know that audiences who come to see “Liberty Mountain” will be enter- tained, inspired, and deeply moved.

REPAVING: city to fix damage from water line project From page 1A noted that the city still has old pipes in the ground in 50-60 year water lines but that scheduled work on main transmission lines are com- pleted. “You've done a good job on sidewalks and curbing," said councilman Rodney Gordon. Councilmen noted that new asphalt was laid on one street, then dug up because of two leaks on the Moun- tain Street water line. A second water main leak occurred in front of the Joy Theatre Friday after- noon. On Sept. 28, crews working on the main water line in front of the Joy on Railroad Avenue were held up when one of the pipes being replaced sprang a leak. Water crews fixed both leaks. No customer was without water.
