Main Street Director Jan Harris said that her office, the fire department inspection office, Kings in- surance offices and codes department work with newcomers to town as they look at commercial proper- ties to rent.

The book is an historical fiction based on the true events of the Ra- dium Dial Painters, a group of female factory workers who, in’the early 1920s, contracted radiation poison- ing from painting glow-in- the-dark watch and clock dials with radium-based paint.

Last week, they worked on pouring concrete and installing parts of the ceiling. “We’re still looking to an early April opening for the restaurant — but right now we’ve got a mud pit,” said Ryan Anchors, a construction superintendent for the restaurant chain. Race Day: at Gateway a big hit From Page 1 and Jacob Broach shared second. Carter Bridges pulled down third place. Ashley Blanton was the top finisher among all females in the 5K sprint. The popular races and fun run drew more than 170 participants this year, a re- cord for the annual event on S. Battleground Ave. “It’s great to see a big turnout today on this, beau- tiful trail on this beautiful Saturday morning,” said Cleveland County Board of Commissioners Chair Jason Falls in welcoming runners, family members and spectators on a morn- ing that started out with near-freezing temperatures but saw the mercury climb into the 50s by the time awards were presented. Organizers added con- siderable distance to the longer run this year — stretching it from a: 10k race to a 10-miler because the trail itself has seen some expansions in the last year. Eventually, they’re aiming to host a half-marathan (13.1 miles) on the site. After a quick welcome message and prayer from Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey, race got under way.at Quarry Road. As the runners spread out, the course turns into the green way parking lot and onto the trail itself. Runners followed signs through the park. Most of the 5K course is paved, except for a spi- raling gravel trail in the center of the park climbing over 200 feet in elevation. The 10-mile course is all gravel, out and back along the Foote Trail. “This is our best turnout ever and we’ hope it gets better every year going for- ward,” said Shirley Brutko, president of the Gateway Trail board. “Thank you all for coming out today and compete and celebrate the Gateway Trail.” Trophies for winners this year were handmade and imaginatively crafted from railroad spikes by a local artist who wished-to remain -anonymous. The trophy design is a nod to the fact that the first quar- ter of a mile the Gateway Trail is on the old rail bed and since the trail is part of Rails to Trails for North Carolina. The Kings Mountain Gateway Trail in 2015 benefitted from the help of numerous sponsors, in- cluding the Historic Kings Mountain Tourism Devel- opment Authority, Fires- tone Diversified Products, Southern Company, Cleve- land County, NTE Energy, Martin Marietta, Neisler Bros.

Museum: needs your vote From Page 1 will air during 'Carolina Impact' and can be used by the organization to help pro- mote its cause. The video profile will provide expo- sure on television across WTVI's 13-county viewing region. Viewers will then choose the winner by voting at HYPERLINK "http://www. PBSCharlotte.org/"www. PBSCharlotte.org from April 21 through May 5. If chosen by the viewers, the museum could receive $10,000 in free underwrit- ing on PBS Charlotte as part of the Community Give Back nonprofit spotlight contest. This promotional support would go beyond the museum's current re- sources for advertising and marketing. Along with the oppor- tunity to win this money Focht says the museum will be able to use the video profile to highlight the com- munity partnership project centered around “Liberty Mountain," the Revolution- ary War drama by author and playwright Bob Inman and presented by the Kings Mountain Little Theatre. Museum President Susan Champion said the Museum is partnering with cultural non-profits South- ern Arts Society and Kings Mountain Little Theatre to create a community-wide effort to better promote cultural institutions. With cooperation and assistance from the Mauney Memo- rial Library, the City of Io ERTY Land Kings Mountain, the Kings Mountain Main Street Pro- gram, and the Chamber of Commerce, the goal is to use the promotion of local cultural groups to enhance Kings Mountain's image as a destination for tourism. This effort has been devel- oped under the auspices of the Main Street Program’s Organization Committee and is closely associated with revitalization efforts in downtown Kings Mountain. “Much like our City’s founders, who, in patriotic spirit, named the town after the pivotal Revolutionary War battle that occurred nine miles to the south, we recognize that the inter- national historical signifi- cance of the Battle of Kings Mountain has the power to draw visitors from around the world. We also recog- nize that through our collab- oration, which collectively represents the arts, culture, history, education, and eco- nomic development of this area, we can have a bigger impact and better serve the people of our region,” said Champion. Each of the partner or- ganizations will present programs and activities centered around Liberty Mountains’ summer run for 2015, whieh is expected to draw over 3,000 visitors to Kings Mountain. Added Champion," Our intent is to create a thriving, multi-faceted cultural expe- rience for local and out-of- town visitors, with a variety ‘of activities at multiple ven- ues. This project represents an economic and promo- tional opportunity for the city’s cultural institutions that will be further lever- aged by the video profile on PBS Charlotte. The video will improve our efforts to promote these activities as a single attraction, and will boost our publicity’s reach substantially. By increas- ing awareness of the cul- tural opportunities in Kings Mountain throughout PBS Charlotte’s 13-county view- ing area, our entire commu- nity will benefit from this promotion."
