Taylor, an advocate for children’s education retires Cathy Rayfield Taylor has been advocating for the value of a good education for children all her life and for 30 years she has made it her life’s work to assure children arrive at school healthy and ready for success. Taylor is retiring Jan. 25 as executive director of Partnership for Children for 22 years but before that she stayed in high school determined to graduate and held a job in a textile mill. Her first job was raising her own children while opening a day care center in her home. February 25, 1994, 19 days after her 41st birthday she became business manager as part of the inaugural staff of the newly established Partnership for Children which has offices in the old Central School plant, moving on to the See TAYLOR, Page 2A
The State House of Representatives elected Speaker Tim Moore (R Cleveland) to a third term as its presiding officer Jan. 9 making him the longest serving Republican Speaker of the House in North Carolina history. “It is with the resilient spirit of families still recovering from the storms that the North Carolina General Assembly reconvenes this session,’’ Moore said in Raleigh at the opening of the legislature. Speaker Moore said the state legislature should maintain its effective record of reform by collaborating on behalf of working people and businesses. “Tomorrow holds enormous promise for our people because today our state of storied tradi-
tions and rich landscapes faces far more opportunities than challenges,’’ he said, adding “I am proud to say that we are well prepared and poised to fulfill these opportunities.’’ Moore listed priorities for the new year, including continuing to prioritize recovery for citizens still suffering from devastating floods who need new investments to rebuild their school systems and higher education campuses. He said he will file this session of the General Assembly a second school construction bond essential to addressing those desperate needs he said he saw when he visited Eastern North Carolina and is in awe of the perseverance of the residents through both
storms. Speaker Moore said the state will continue to compete around the world for cutting-edge industries and a top tier workforce for the next generation whether you represent a major city, a historic small town or our rural splendor. ‘’ Each of us is here to give good people the voice they deserve in Raleigh and in their state government. Public safety is a top priority along with providing a strong education and getting good jobs for families, the Speaker continued. “We want to improve state government services and we each have a vision of serving our district for a better North Carolina,’’ he said.

Lou Ballew gave of herself to community and friends By Loretta Cozart

Shortly after Christmas, ‘Lou' (Louise) Ballew passed away from lung cancer at Testa Family Hospice House. Within a week, her friends began contacting the Herald and sharing stories about her life. For those who didn't know Lou Ballew, it is important to share that she dealt with everyone in a direct manner. This was a common fact shared about her by many of her friends. It was clear her friends always knew where she stood
LOU BALLEW
on things they did. If she liked something, they knew it. And if she didn't, they knew that too. For Ballew, being direct was an art. Her friends remembered
her for the many things she did in the community and for maintaining her active lifestyle well into her 90's. Stella Putnam shared this about Ballew, "It would not be fitting to omit Lou's involvement with the turfgrass industry in North Carolina. Around 1970, my father, Joe ‘Bud' Neisler, decided to start a sod farm at Oakland Plantation. At the time Lou was the bookkeeper for the family's yarn mill in Pageland, SC. This farm would be one of the first, if not the first turf farm in North See BALLEW, Page 2A

TAYLOR From Page 1A organization that would change her life. At the time of her promotion to Executive Director she enrolled in Southern Wesleyan University graduating in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Under Taylor’s leadership the Cleveland County Partnership for Children established Child Care Connections which connects resources and services for children and with Cleveland County Schools, the Office of School Readiness which provides services for three and four-year-old children to give them a positive learning experience before they arrive in Kindergarten. Taylor is credited for bringing Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to Cleveland County as the first county in the state to benefit and headquartered at Mauney Memorial Library. This program allows children zero to five years of age a free book a month until they turn five. Governor Roy Cooper recognized the Kings Mountain woman for her success with the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine.

“I am proud to report that we are well prepared and poised to provide those opportunities,’’ said Moore. Rep. Sarah Stevens of Surry County was reelected Speaker pro tempore. Speaker Moore, 48, is a Kings Mountain attorney and lifelong resident of Kings Mountain, son of Rick and Jean Moore of Kings Mountain. He and his two sons reside in Kings Mountain. Says Taylor, “Children are our future and the investments made in children now will secure them a better tomorrow.” Angela Patterson Padgett, Smart Start Manager, said “So many parents and children can thank my Mom for the success children are having or have had in school.’’ Cathy Taylor grew up in the Hardin Community of Dallas, one of five children of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Rayfield. She graduated from Dallas High School, now North Gaston, in 1971 and continued to work at Hardin Mill. She was encouraged by her supervisor Frank Stillman to pursue her goals and moved on for 14 years to jobs where she would bone her skills as a leader and in business. By starting a child care center in her own home, she was setting her path toward serving children in her community. Upon moving to Kings Mountain in 1985, she worked as secretary at Temple Baptist Church and began her career as financial secretary and computer specialist for Cleveland County Head Start. Over the next six years she learned more about the Head Start program and in 1991 moved to the main office of Kings Mountain District Schools and under the leadership of the late Jean Thrift worked as testing coordinator for the school system. “Mom took advantage of every challenge and opportunity,’’ said Mrs. Padgett. The family is active in First Wesleyan Church in Kings Mountain. Cathy and husband Conley Taylor have a merged family of five children, and they are Angela Padgett, Michele Putnam, Charlotte Belcher, Jeff Taylor and Michelle Franklin and 10 grandchildren. In retirement the Taylors plan to travel, recently enjoying a six weeks Western trip.

BALLEW
She was very community oriented, volunteering on Planning and Zoning and the Board of Adjustments. But her community activity went further. She volunteered on the Hospital Auxiliary and set an example for all us senior citizens by staying active and involved long after retirement. Her impact was cross-generational, and she worked with folks of all ages over the years. "She also stayed active in her day to day life," Neisler said. "She attended lunch at the Senior Center and ate a Wendy's on Wednesdays with mother and her friends. She very much enjoyed Trivia at the Country Club on Monday nights and loved spending time with people." Ballew remained active, spending time with her friends at First Presbyterian Church, eating out, going to Sunday school class, attending circle and women of the church meetings, and enjoying life while contributing greatly to the community, Brutko shared." Lib Stewart shared,
"Lou served as the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 155 President the year I was President of the North Carolina American Legion Auxiliary. "Lou often called me to visit with her in her garden, sharing stories about planting and gardening for articles in the paper,” Stewart added. “Lou was active in the Town and Country Garden Clubs’ beautification projects within the city.” Mayor Neisler remembers most how Lou Ballew dealt with her cancer in the final weeks of her life. "She knew the prognosis wasn't good, but she made time to visit with friends until the end. She loved her friends, and they knew it. She handled the situation with dignity and grace. She was blessed to maintain her mental sharpness and continued to give to others until the end." A graveside service for Lou Ballew will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 19 at Woodlawn Cemetery, 1 Pine Knoll Drive, Greenville, SC 29609.

"She got heavily involved within the industry, insisting that the North Carolina Sod Producers Association be formed. She worked in sales for Oakland Plantation Turf Farm for many years and was loved throughout the sod industry. She became known as the ‘First Lady of Sod and Nursery.'" Shirley Brutko shared that "Lou Ballew was a pillar of the community and will be missed by many. She met with City Manager Marilyn Sellers regularly to discuss ideas for the city, and she volunteered at the Chamber of Commerce when I was the director." Mayor Scott Neisler agrees. "Lou had her fingers in a lot of projects and activities in Kings Mountain.

President Trump speaks on border security crisis By Loretta Cozart Last week President Donald Trump addressed the American people for the first time from the Oval Office regarding the growing humanitarian and security crisis along the US-Mexico border. Following the president's address, Democratic Party leaders had equal time to respond. In his nine-minute speech, the president spoke about the challenge Border Patrol Officers face controlling immigrants trying to enter our country illegally. This "strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages. Among those hardest hit are African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans," the president said. "Our southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs including meth, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl… Every week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone." President Trump described the southern border as a "humanitarian crisis. Last month, 20,000 migrant children were illegally brought into the United States, a dramatic increase. These children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and ruthless gangs. One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico. Women and children are the biggest victims, by far, of our broken system. "This is the tragic reality of illegal immigration on our southern border. This is the cycle of human suffering that I am determined to end,"
Trump said. According to the president, his proposal was developed by law enforcement professionals from Homeland Security and "includes cutting edge technology for detecting drugs, weapons, illegal contraband and many other things. We have requested more agents, immigration judges to process the sharp rise of unlawful migration fueled by our very strong economy. As part of an overall approach to border security, law enforcement professionals have requested $5.7 billion for a physical barrier… a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall." The president stated that "the federal government remains shut down for one reason, and one reason only, because Democrats will not fund border security. My administration is doing everything in our power to help those impacted by the situation, but the only solution is for Democrats to pass a spending bill that defends our borders and reopens the government." Trump concluded his address saying, "this is a choice between right and wrong, justice and injustice. This is about whether we fulfill our sacred duty to the American citizens we serve. When I took the oath of office, I swore to protect our country and that is what I will always do so help me God." Speaker Nancy Pelosi presented the Democratic Party's position saying that "much of what we heard from President Trump throughout this senseless shutdown has
been full of misinformation and even malice… The fact is on the very first day of this Congress, House Democrats passed Senate Republican legislation to reopen government and fund smart, effective border security solutions. But the president is rejecting these bipartisan bills which would reopen government over his obsession with forcing American taxpayers to waste billions of dollars on an expensive and ineffective wall." Speaker Pelosi stated that "President Trump has chosen to hold hostage critical services for the health, safety, and well-being of the American people, and withhold the paychecks of 800,000 innocent workers across the nation, many of them veterans. "We can build the infrastructure and roads at our ports of entry. We can install new technology to scan cars and trucks for drugs coming into our nation. We can hire the personnel we need to facilitate trade and immigration at the border. We can fund more innovation to detect unauthorized crossings. "The fact is, the women and children at the border are not a security threat. They are a humanitarian challenge, a challenge that President Trump's own cruel and counterproductive policies have only deepened." Following Speaker Pelosi, Senator Chuck Schumer spoke saying that they were addressing the American people because, "the president of the United States, having failed to get Mexico to pay for his ineffective,
Dr. Brenton L. Young, DDS
unnecessary border wall, and unable to convince the Congress or the American people to foot the bill, has shut down the government. American democracy doesn't work that way. "Make no mistake, Democrats and the president both want stronger border security. However, we sharply disagree with the president about the most effective way to do it. "So, how do we untangle this mess? Well, there's an obvious solution. Separate the shutdown from arguments over border security. There is bipartisan legislation supported by Democrats and Republicans to reopen government while allowing debate over border security to continue. In conclusion, Senator Schumer stated, "There is no excuse for hurting millions of Americans over a policy difference…. Mr. President reopen the government, and we can work to resolve our differences over border security. But end this shutdown now." Both Republicans and Democrats agree that border security is an issue for concern in America. They differ on how to address it and remain at a stalemate. As of Wednesday, we are twenty-six days into the government shutdown with neither party willing to compromise. The real losers in this debate are the 880,000 Federal workers who are not being paid and have become political pawns in this government game of chess.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. –Henry Ford
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Cozart A few weeks ago, friends LORETTA posted a COZART question on Facebook asking when presidents visited Kings Mountain. When George H.W. Bush passed away last year, I used images of his visit in the paper from the Kings Mountain Historical Museum’s archives. To my surprise and delight, new pictures of the 1992 visit were posted online. Brad Austin posted images of his father, Gene Austin, riding aboard “The Spirit of America,” on then president George H.W. Bush’s 1992 tour. In the Herald, Gene Austin shared, “I felt WKMT owed it to the shut-ins who couldn’t see him wave from the train to give them coverage of the day’s activities.” “Every 15 minutes start-
Gene Austin rides President Bush’s train in 1992 Photos provided ing at 8 a.m. Wednesday when Austin boarded one of the eight press cars, he called by cellular phone to WKMT to report to manager Jonas Bridges and co-workers,” the Herald reported. Austin decided on a whim to request press credentials. After he was granted permission, his wife Phyllis Ware Austin gave him a camera as an early Christmas present. Austin boarded the train in Spartanburg, S.C. and

These are people who have said, “To heck with our laws and rules we are coming to do whatever we please in America.” These people are robbers and thieves. They have no regard for what is expected in America. Their goal is to get into our country first and then gain the sympathy of America to allow them to stay here. We know many good hard workers come from Mexico. The “good” hard workers come legally. Most Americans are sympathetic people. We give large amounts of money to charities, churches, food pantries and pay large amounts of money back into our federal government which in turn utilizes our money to help millions of Americans, refugees and immigrants. Research how much money is paid out to refugees.

doesn’t offer to ignore our sin, or to pretend it hasn’t happened. He offers a righteous forgiveness through the work of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came to earth, conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost. He was fully God and fully man, able to face every temptation that you and I have faced, without ever sinning. As the Son of God he did not inherit the guilt of Adam and Eve. But as the Son of Man He was able to bear the guilt of their sin, even “the sins of the world,” (John 1:29) taking God’s condemnation for sin upon Himself. This is what changes our standing with God: God’s judgment for our sin, guilt, and shame, accounted to
Jesus in His suffering and death on the cross; and the record of Jesus’ perfect, sinless obedience, accounted to us in the sight of God. This is the good news that “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” (Romans 4:25) If you have never come to faith in Jesus, you are still under God’s judgment. But if you trust in Jesus, He bears your guilt and judgment before God, Who credits you with Jesus’ obedience. You can be sure that you stand accepted by God for Jesus’ sake! This changes everything!

GWU Alumnus will lead celebration week services from Jan. 28 to Feb. 1 Chris ‘Checkerz’ Williams speaking on the Theme, ‘Living on Mission’ BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—An 1997 alumnus of Gardner-Webb University is the guest speaker for the annual Celebration Week services, held this year from Jan. 28 through Feb. 1. Chris “Checkerz” Williams, pastor of Renew, a multiethnic and multigenerational church in Baton Rouge, La., will preach on the theme, “Living on Mission.” Services are open to the public and begin Tuesday, Jan. 28, with Dimensions at 9:25 a.m. in Tucker Student Center. Evening services on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be at 7:30 p.m. in Dover Chapel. Thursday morning’s service is at 9:25 in Dover Theatre. Students will participate in the services by leading music, offering prayer, and reading scripture. Sarah Lail, a senior Associate of Science in Nursing student, helped to coordinate the event. “I love participating in Celebration Week, because it is such an encouragement for me spiritually, mentally and physically,” Lail shared. “We get to spend quality worship time with our peers and acquaintances—aside from everything that is taking place in our daily lives.” She and Williams decided on the theme after discussing possible topics. “Prior to consulting with Checkerz, I was thinking about the following themes: whole hearted living, radical love and humility,” Lail related. “Checkerz explained that he wanted to preach on the importance of serving God where we are currently at in life. So together we decided that the focus was going to be on humility and service. He expressed his interest in

Payne said “Checkerz” nickname comes from Williams’ rapping and hip-hop talents. After praying about who should speak for Celebration Week, Payne felt led to ask Williams. “Chris loves the Lord, and I know that he will speak truth, and I trust that he will honor God in all he says and does,” Payne affirmed. “His testimony also is pretty amazing.” Williams, who was a part-time evangelist for 15 years, left his banking career in 2009 to go to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisiana with a goal to become a full-time pastor. Before his last semester in seminary, he was called to pastor Celebration Church in Laplace. While he was there, the church tripled in weekly attendance. In March 2017, he answered God’s call to start Renew, a church that believes every person is created in the image of God and should be treated with dignity, respect, love and compassion.

2019 Gaston Together MLK Unity Awards will honor Barber, Current and Rhodes The Gaston Clergy & Citizens Coalition (GC3), an initiative of Gaston Together, will present the 2019 Gaston County MLK Unity Awards to Donyel Bratton Barber, Dr. William A. Current, Jr. and Coach Larry Rhodes on Monday, January 21st at 10:30 am at the MLK Plaza. The Plaza is located on the corner of MLK Way/ Marietta St. and Long Ave. in downtown Gastonia. The Gaston County MLK Unity Award was established in 2004 by the GC3. The award recognizes current or former Gaston County citizens who have performed exemplary community service to help build bridges of unity across lines of class, race, gender, faith and/or municipalities within our county. Names of the honorees are engraved on the MLK Monument located at the Plaza. Some of the past winners include: Senator Marshall Rauch, the late N. A. Smith, Rev. Houston Matthews, James Biggers, Rev. Dr. Richard Boyce and the late Dr. Ed Sadler. A native of Gaston County, Donyel Barber is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hamrick Bratton. She attended Gaston County Public Schools and is a 1996 graduate of Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree. She has one son, Rodney Barber, Jr. Donyel has worked for many years in the human services field including with Child Protective Services and for 12 years as the Executive Director of Family Promise, formerly Interfaith Hospitality Network. Family Promise is a program dedicated to helping families in crisis and in homeless situations regain their independence and self-sufficiency. In 2005, she was one of ten Gaston County citizens to receive the Family Advocate of the Year. Donyel is currently the Community Centered Health Coordinator for Gaston Family Health Services, promoting community engagement, while identifying the social determinants leading to poor health in the community, in hopes of improving the overall health of the community. Donyel strongly believes that everyone deserves to be

treated equally. Therefore, she strives to be intentional about promoting equity and opportunity for all people in the community in which she lives and serves! Her work to bring about this unity for all makes her Dr. William (Will) Current, Jr. was raised in Gaston County and attended Gaston County Schools. He received both his undergraduate and School of Dentistry degrees from UNC- Chapel Hill. While in dental school he began his service to others traveling alone one summer to Russia providing dental care. In 2010, Will and Dr. Bill Donigan co-chaired the first Mission Of Mercy Free Dental Clinic in Gaston County bringing the dental community together to provide a much needed medical service to those in need. He has remained a faithful provider at these events in our community. Will was also the driving force behind the vision and creation of the Rotary Community Garden in downtown Gastonia which has ultimately brought unity among many diverse groups in our community. In 2013, Will began his term as the Thursday Rotary Club President. In his desire to make a difference in “his community,” he felt called to start a Community Garden. He got the Rotary Club on board, found the land, got the land donated and wrote a grant application to Home Depot for funds. He persuaded all who would and could to join him in this effort to build the garden, harvest the crops, and thus provide fresh produce to local agencies to give to those in need. His vision for a Community Garden brought all citizens of our community together through a common mission of “feeding the
hungry,” beautifying the city, teaching a new generation, and knowing each other’s neighbors. Will’s efforts brought churches, garden groups, non-profits, businesses, young people, and other community organizations together to adopt a garden bed. This garden and vision have brought hundreds of volunteers from a wide variety of sectors together to work in the garden providing produce to several community organizations for their use and to give to the needy. Will Current has made a difference and provided the foundation of unity to serve others in our community. Coach Larry Rhodes moved to Gaston County in 1956 to follow his dream of coaching and teaching. It is felt by many that in addition to his outstanding coaching record, his main accomplishment as a coach was his leadership in working through the stressful first year of school integration. The community was apprehensive in 1966 as the all black Highland High School was converted to a Jr. High and most of its high school students were transferred to all white Ashley High School. Mr. Rhodes was a teacher and the head basketball coach at Ashley. The Highland student body had lost their school name, schools colors and mascot. Issues arose around the integration of teachers, club memberships, cheerleaders, etc. All head coaches were white at Ashley; teams would be integrated. Coach Rhodes’ ability to take the 1966-67 integrated basketball squad and mold it into a cohesive and successful unit was very unique. After the white starting center suffered an injury, Coach Rhodes started five black players. He was able to
draw the players and students closer together. At the State Tournament that year, thirteen integrated school buses were chartered to go to Chapel Hill for Ashley’s first round game. The 1966-67 Ashley basketball team under the leadership of Coach Rhodes eventually won the 1967 NC State AAAA Basketball Championship. Dr. Douglas Aldrich, pastor of First Baptist Church, and a member of the Gastonia Human Relations Committee in 1967 was quoted, “Larry Rhodes did more for integration than many will ever know.” Ronnie Lee Phillips (1966-67 basketball team) said, “Coach Rhodes treated everybody the same. He treated the players from Highland like we’d been with him all along.” Through his leadership building unity through sports, Coach Larry Rhodes truly exemplifies the spirit of unity designated in the Gaston Together MLK Unity Award. The presentation of the awards will be part of an annual event designed by the GC3 to recognize the dream of Dr. King for all. It is a dream very much alive in Gaston County. Please join the celebration as we honor those in our midst who have worked to build bridges of unity in our county. The GC3 is a county-wide, non-denominational ministerial association formed in the late 1990’s by Gaston Together. The GC3 meets on the second Thursday of each month at 9:00am at First United Methodist Family Life Center in Gastonia. For more information, please call Gaston Together (704-867-9869.)

KM ladies break Ashbrook’s 31-straight league win streak Sweep puts KM teams in first place Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams gained sole possession of first place in the Big South 3A Conference Tuesday night at home with a sweep of Gastonia Ashbrook. The Lady Mountaineers handed Ashbrook its first conference loss in three years, 50-43, before the Mountaineers led wire-towire to defeat the Green Wave 63-47 in the nightcap. The result left both KM teams at 4-0 in the Big South and pushed Ashbrook back to second with 3-1 marks. The Lady Green Wave had not lost a conference game since January, 2016, when they fell to Forestview. At that time, Kings Mountain wasn’t in the Big South. Ashbrook led only briefly early and was on top 13-12 after one quarter. Kings Mountain led 28-24 at the half and 37-35 going into the fourth quarter. Hannah Clark swished the nets for a pair of treys midway of the fourth quarter to put KM up 43-35.

Kings Mountain High’s varsity basketball teams swept Burns in Big South 3A Conference action Friday in Lawndale. The Mountaineers were idle last night because of exams but will resume Big South action Friday night at Gastonia Forestview. Both varsity teams are 5-0 in the conference with one game leads over Gastonia Ashbrook. The Lady Mountaineers put up a balanced scoring attack to turn back the Lady Bulldogs 79-50. Freshman Saniya Wilson led the way with 20 points. Hannah Clark added 16, Sarah Drennan 12 and Niya Kelly 10. Aleenih Carter-Kee barely missed double figures with eight. Macey Earls led the Lady Bulldogs with 15. Burns (2-3, 5-7) trailed by only 17-12 after the first quarter but the Lady Mountaineers increased the margin to 39-28 at the half and 59-42 going into the fourth quarter. KM outscored the Lady Bulldogs 20-8 over
the final eight minutes. The Burns boys gave the Mountaineers one of their toughest battles of the year early. Kings Mountain led by just 30-28 at intermission but scored the first five points of the third period to go up 35-28. Burns managed to cut the margin to 54-47 but KM outscored the Bulldogs 21-9 after that to win going away. Zeke Littlejohn led the Mountaineers with 19 points and Eli Paysour added 15 before fouling out. Marcus Odums added 10. Rashun McDowell and JA Wells led Burns with 19 and 12 points, respectively. Kings Mountain’s JVs also won and both of those teams are also undefeated against conference teams. The girls won 33-14. Brooke Ferree led the way with seven points and Monica Head and Yasmaine Robinson added six apiece. Treasure Hopper and Daraniah Chambers scored four points each, Nikki Wells three and Marlee Arnold two.
Kelly qualifies for state meet
KM’s Niya Kelly pulls down a rebound in the Lady Mountaineers’ win over Ashbrook. the Lady Mountaineers a 45-35 lead with just over two minutes remaining. Ashbrook was able to get the difference back under 10, but Wilson hit three key free throws and Sarah Drennan one to hold off any Ashbrook hopes for a comeback. Wilson finished with 16 points, including nine in the second half, to lead the KM scoring. Clark added 14, including her two big treys, and Niya Kelly added 10 points and also did a good job inside on defense. In fact, the entire Mountaineer team played perhaps its best game on defense, putting good pressure on the Green Wave’s
talented scorers. Summer Schloss led the visitors with a game-high 21 points, but Aaliyah Byers and Kelly held the University of Alabama Birmingham commit to just six points in the second half. Zoey Ward was Ashbrook’s only other double-digit scorer with 11. The rest of the team scored only 11 points. Eli Paysour’s two free throws 35 seconds into the game put the Mountaineers on top 2-0 and they never looked back. The big thing that turned the Wave into a ripple was the play of sophomore point guard Kobe Paysour, who scored 11 of his 17 points in the first quarter as the Mountaineers rolled to
a 20-5 lead. Paysour’s all-around performance opened up the inside for senior standout Zeke Littlejohn who pumped in a game high 21 points, including 19 in the second through fourth quarters. Eli Paysour scored 10 before leaving the game with an injury in the third quarter. Kings Mountain led 40-20 at halftime and 50-31 with 4:46 left in the third when Eli Paysour had to leave. Ashbrook rallied briefly and trimmed the margin to 55-37 heading into the fourth quarter. Littlejohn hit two free throws and a two-point basket from just inside the See ASHBROOK, Page 2B

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town. The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade. Photo by Alan Hodge working jaws, large and colorful butterflies, and more. The lamps were created

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework. Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation. “I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.” During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society. Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends. “I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress. See LAMP page 2

Four arrested at Jail-A-Thon On Saturday, three elected officials and one city employee were arrested on nefarious charges, placed in manacles, and hauled by paddywagon to the ‘Jail House' at Patriots Park during Mountaineer Days. The three elected officials arrested were Mayor Scott Neisler and Council members David Allen and Rodney Gordon. Each had to raise $200 bond within two hours. Due to rowdy behavior, Rodney Gordon had to raise additional bond money. Mayor Neisler implicated Karen Tucker who was subsequently arrested for "Impersonating the City Clerk." Tucker had to raise a $25.00 bond. All funds raised benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum's history education boxes that highlight local history in Kings Mountain schools.

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about. At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions. The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting. The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered suggestions.

Keystone Powdered Metals’ employees see PINK in Breast Cancer fight by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com

Community Revival
Both Terry L. Stutter, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Plant Manager, and Pam Crotts, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Human Resource Manager, take great pride in the fact their co-workers and staffs are seeing pink nowadays. They’re not alone. Their co-workers do too as was evidenced by what they did to honor those who fight the fight. So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month they and a number of their day and night shift employees donned pink tee-shirts to let all know
they’re a team when it comes to the fight to battle and hopefully find a cure for the disease. For plant manager Shutter it’s personal as his wife Donna is a breast cancer survivor. “My wife and I have been supporters of the Susan G. Komen Foundation for years,” said Shutter in a recent interview at the Keystone plant. “This is just another opportunity to come together and do this in out plant.” Crotts agreed, adding, “And we love the camaraderie due to the shirts.” Crotts, a Dallas native, has two kids and four grandchildren, said she was awed by

Could You Have Glaucoma? Dear Savvy Senior, What are the warning signs for glaucoma? My 65-year-old brother lost some of his vision because of it but never had a clue anything was wrong. Could I be at risk too? Concerned Sister
This disease develops very slowly when the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time, leading to blind spots in the peripheral or side vision. By the time you notice it, the permanent damage is already done.
Dear Concerned, It’s called the “silent thief of sight” for a reason. With no early warning signs or pain, most people that have glaucoma don’t realize it until their vision begins to deteriorate. Here’s what you should know.
Are You at Risk? It’s estimated that more than 3 million Americans have glaucoma today, but that number is expected to surge to more than 4 million by 2030. If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you’re at increased risk of developing it. • Are you African American, Hispanic/Latino American or Asian American? • Are you over age 60? • Do you have an immediate family member with glaucoma? • Do you have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, migraines or extreme nearsightedness? • Have you had a past eye injury? • Have you used corticosteroids
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss and blindness if it’s not treated. This typically happens because the fluids in the eye don’t drain properly, causing increased pressure in the eyeball. There are two main types of glaucoma, but the most common form that typically affects older people is called open-angle glaucoma.
(for example, eye drops, pills, inhalers, and creams) for long periods of time?
What to Do Early detection is the key to guarding against glaucoma. So if you’re age 40 or older and have any of the previously listed risk factors (especially if you’re African American), you need to get a comprehensive eye examination every year or two. Or, if you notice some loss of peripheral vision, get to the eye doctor right away. If you are a Medicare beneficiary, annual eye examinations are covered for those at high risk for glaucoma. Or if you don’t have vision coverage, check into EyeCare America, a national program that provides free glaucoma eye exams and there are no income requirements. Visit EyeCareAmerica.org or call 877-887-6327 to learn more. While there’s currently no cure
for glaucoma, most cases can be treated with prescription eye drops, which reduce eye pressure and can prevent further vision loss. It cannot, however, restore vision already lost from glaucoma. If eye drops don’t work, your doctor may recommend oral medication, laser treatments, incisional surgery or a combination of these methods. For more information on glaucoma, visit the National Eye Institute at NEI.nih.gov, and the Glaucoma Research Foundation at Glaucoma. org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Gasoline pump prices getting even cheaper
first thing in the morning for a daily energy boost. For an easy and healthy way to add flavor to your water during the day, consider putting an herbal tea bag of your choice in it. For example, Chumbley recommends ginger as a digestion-helper, mint as a caffeine-free way to awaken and chamomile to calm. Make healthy swaps. Looking for alternatives is an easy way to eat healthy. Consider swapping out heavier carbs for vegetables such as grilled Portobello mushrooms as pizza crust or zucchini noodles instead of pasta. Swap mayo for avocado when eating egg, chicken or tuna salad. You can also use the sweetness of ripe bananas to decrease the need for added sugar in recipes like cookies, muffins and pancakes. For an additional nutrition boost, consider adding a scoop of gluten-free protein powder like Premier Protein's line of 100% Whey Powders, which are available in chocolate or vanilla milkshake flavors and feature 30 grams of protein and 3-4 grams of sugar per scoop, plus no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Get moving. Commit to stepping outside and taking a daily walk. Whether it's 1 mile or a walk around the block, you can burn calories and receive the added benefits of mental clarity, increased energy and improved digestion. "Use these tips as one small thing that can make a powerful positive impact on your day," Chumbley said. "Choose one of these and do it every day. Keep the strategy simple so you'll be more likely to stick with it. When implementing these health tips, think 'progress' not 'perfection.' If you are progressing, you are successful."
