TOURING GROUP – This men’s chorus of professional Baptist musicians will present two concerts Sunday at 8:30 am and 11 am at First Baptist Church. The concerts are free to the public as the church’s gift to the community.
Centurymen to give concerts Sunday vision overseas, including a 90-minute special in China which presented the group nation-wide with musical selections comprised of hymns, spirituals and American folk songs. Dr. Jonathan Bundon, worship pastor of First Baptist, is one of only four North Carolinians who belong to this group and the only one from NC who toured with them in Cuba. He says that while in Cuba, the group “was given special permission to sing in famous concert halls that had never allowed any religious group to perfom up to that point. Every concert was beyond seating capacity.” While in Cuba, The Centurymen not only performed 17 concerts but also went to various campuses to teach classes in music theory, voice and conducting. The group was founded in 1969 by noted composer, arranger and producer Buryl Red. His work, described by the Washington Post as “uncommonly creative,” has been heard in such widely diverse places as Carnegie Hall, Saturday Night Live and various Broadway stages. The October 8th concert in Kings Mountain will be The Centurymen’s first stop on the 2017 Northeast Tour See CENTURYMEN, Page 7A
Former resident Ray Parker was in Vegas Sunday night Ray Parker, brother-inlaw of Harris Funeral Home’s Monty Thornburg, is in Las Vegas, Nevada but thankfully, Monty said, he wasn’t at the outdoor country music festival Sunday night where 58 people were killed and over 500 injured in the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history. Debbie Thornburg Parker, who is visiting in Kings Mountain, called her husband
Monday morning when she heard the horrific news. The shooter, according to news reports, was Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old accountant from Mesquite, Nevada, who opened fire on the crowd of 22,000 Route 91 Harvest Festival attendees from the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Paddock killed himself in his room before a police SWAT team burst in. Debbie and Ray Parker are former employees of the Kings Mountain Herald. Ray Parker has retired from the military and the Parkers now reside in Georgia.

Decorate the Town black and gold for Mountaineer Days Heritage Festival October 20-21. That’s the suggestion from Main Street Director Jan Harris. Straw bales are being distributed to businesses in the Main Street District who have agreed to decorate them in Mountaineer fashion showing school spirit with black and gold decorations. “This year rather than Halloween or autumn décor we are asking business owners to decorate the bales in black and gold
and be as creative as possible,’’ said Harris. She said one idea could be to take pumpkins and paint them in KMHS colors of black and gold or decorate with Mountie or KMHS logo. Let your imaginations run free and have fun with this project,’’ said Harris. Black and gold bows will be on trees and light poles and there will be decorated store fronts. The decorating contest will be judged on Oct. 20 and ribbons will be displayed at the festival at Patriots Park on Saturday, Oct. 21.

Four drug arrests by Vice-Narcotics Officers, suspect wanted
Villagers in many remote areas in Africa dig wells, make the brick, provide the sand, stone and unskilled labor and everything is purchased, manufactured, maintained and administered in Africa by Africans. Kings Mountain Baptist Church Men of the Church are reaching out in the community for funds to help provide a village with a sus-
tainable source of safe drinking water. Funds raised at a barbecue Friday from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the church will benefit the well project under the auspices of Marion Medical Mission. Tickets are $8 for barbecue with all the trimmings. Statistics report that 1 in 5 children die before their 5th birthday because of lack of
potable water. A total of 29,000 wells have been built since 1990 and four million people, including 2.4 million children, have been helped by the Marion Medical Mission, Marion, IL. The goal in 2017 is that 2,800 wells will be provided and an estimated 420,000 of the extreme poor in Africa will have safe drinking water.

WELLS FOR AFRICANS- This photograph shows African people who will benefit from a fundraiser Friday, Oct. 6 by Men of Kings Mountain Baptists Church. Barbecue tickets are $8 and the fundraiser will be from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Friday at the church, 101 W. Mountain Street.
Four people were arrested during the week of Sept. 25 by the Vice-Narcotics Division of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department and one suspect is wanted on an outstanding warrant. The Sheriff’s Office will continue to make drug investigations a high priority,’’ Sheriff Alan Norman said. “Statistics have shown for years that drug use leads to other crimes, in particular breaking and entering and larcenies, where users have to steal to fund their habit.” Norman continued, “The violence associated with drug dealing is also a huge concern of mine, and those dealers who possess guns during drug transactions will be a very high priority.” The Sheriff’s Office takes complaints of drug sales very seriously, Norman said, and requests that anyone with information on drug dealers in their neighborhood on drug dealers in their neighborhood contact the Vice/Narcotics Division at 704-484-4987.

Mountaineer Days gearing up to be one of best Oct. 20-21 Mountaineer Days Heritage Festival is gearing up to be one of the city’s best, according to Christy Conner, Events Coordinator for the sponsoring City of Kings Mountain. “This will be a big family-friendly event and there will be plenty to do and see,’’ said Conner. She said that all Kings Mountain schools will be dismissed on Friday, Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. and all schools plan to take part in a KMHS Homecoming parade at 3:30 p.m. The parade will form in the parking lot of First Baptist Church at 3 p.m., proceed up Mountain Street and turn right on Railroad Avenue and into Patriots Park where a Pep Rally will be held in the Amphitheater. “We hope that the parade will draw a crowd of onlookers and they will be enthusiastic with their Mountie spirit and applaud these parade participants,’’ she said. The events on Friday will close at 6 p.m. The Homecoming football game between the KMHS Moun-
taineers and the Burns High Bulldogs is at 7:30 p.m. in John Gamble Stadium. Several class reunion groups are planning to attend the parade and also the Mountaineer events on Saturday prior to suppers they have planned. There will be contests, including a Ms. Or Mr. or Mrs. Mountie Spirit, a sweet potato recipe contest, and a pet competition plus other Saturday, Oct. 21 events. A full schedule, with time of events, will be published in the Herald. The Ghost Tour at Gateway Park was a sellout in three days but those with tickets will be shuttled from Patriot Park to and from Gateway Trails. A Revolutionary Ghost, who is not one bit scary, will be one of the performers on the stage on Saturday. Events on Saturday are from 2-10 p.m. Music, food, games, rides, contests and vendors are included in event plans. “There is so much planned for everyone to enjoy,’’ said Conner.

By Loretta Husky Cozart This harrowing tale begins with a knock at the door. A constable called to duty in the middle of the night. A bar fight followed by a brutal murder. And a frightened widow riding through the night to save her three sons. This event didn’t happen in Kings Mountain but it is the family story of one of our residents, Norma Fuchs. The constable was called to break up a fight at Terrell’s Saloon in Irondale, Missouri. Herrington, then just 32, was stabbed to death before he set foot in the bar. He died hours later, on Oct. 4, after giving testimony as to whom had attacked him. But, the murder was much more brutal than Mrs. Fuchs was told when she was a child. Until recently, this brief description is all Fuchs knew of her great-grandfather, Samuel T. Herrington’s death in the line of duty in 1871. It was a tale told to her more than eight decades ago by her great-uncle Ed, one of Herrington’s sons who took that horseback ride as a small boy. Newspaper reports and court documents dating to the 1870s report Herrington was beaten to death, allegedly by three brothers, when Herrington tried to serve a search warrant at their homes to look for stolen property. They knocked him down, beat him with stones, kicked him and dragged him until “he was done for,” according to the Missouri Democrat. Hearing the news of the murder, his widow, Jeanette tied a rope to herself and their three sons, the youngest just 10 months old, and rode through the night on horseback to safety at her sister’s house 40 miles away. “Jeanette put the two oldest behind the saddle, and the 10-month-old in front of the saddle horn,” Fuchs said. “And you’ve got to remember how unsettled the area was. There must have been wild animals all over.” Five years after the death of her husband, Jeanette died of a broken heart. Relatives and neighbors raised the orphaned boys. Fuchs knew the story well but had no idea where her “Grandpa Sam” was buried and feared she may

Constable Samuel T. Herrington

never know the final resting place of her great-grandfather. On a chance meeting in a cemetery in 2010, Fuchs met Tim Ogle and they soon realized they were related. Ogle had discovered one of his family’s tombstones at that same cemetery and began to wonder where else his relatives might be buried. Once he found that missing grave, his hunt began to find more. Ogle, now describes himself as a cemetery detective and has been researching the Herrington family and locating their burial places. Ogle began searching for his Revolutionary War veterans. Eventually, he looked for the grave of William Drennon, a Revolutionary War soldier who was also an ancestor of Samuel Herrington. When he contacted Fuchs for help, she told him about an old family cemetery in the woods. She remembered a story that he had been buried on his mother’s farm about 50 miles away in Jefferson County. In the 1930’s the Drennon’s land was sold to the Hellenic American Progressive League and the family cemetery was part of that land. In early April, Ogle visited the cemetery with the help and permission from the Greek society and
started searching for the graves in an area under a canopy of trees. There he found several graves, including that of the Revolutionary War soldier under a layer of leaves and dirt. In May, Ogle dug up three pieces of white limestone about eight inches underground next to William Drennon’s grave. When put together, Ogle read the
name “Samuel Herrington”. He has spent the summer restoring the grave stone and cleaning the cemetery. Now, Samuel Herrington’s death is recognized as among the earliest recorded police line-of-duty deaths in eastern Missouri. And his name is now included on memorials in Washington and Jefferson City and online police memorials. On October 4, 2017, on the 146th anniversary of Herrington's death, sheriff's departments in the Washington and Jefferson counties of Missouri will honor him with the police funeral he never received. Norma Fuchs and her family will attend a ceremony honoring their “Grandpa Sam.” "I think it's time he had some recognition from the public that he would have had, had he died yesterday," said Fuchs. "I'm just so glad I'm going to live to see it."
Samual Herrington’s Gavestone is found beneath 8 inches of dirt.

High Shoals Homecoming
The Reformation: Part 1 W h a t if one day you woke to find yourself questioning the mundane things Rev. Joshua around Morgan Advent you. You Lutheran Church question your habits, your routine, and the life you’re living… or even the lives of those around you. For a small town German Monk, The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, he began to question what
was happening in the church. Being a monk, holding up the medieval pillars of theology, it seemed that YOU had to WORK your way into heaven, negating the fact that Jesus paid the wages of sin for you on Calvary’s Cross. For Luther, his spiritual awakening began with Romans 1:17. This was a one the pivotal scriptures, that spark, that ignition, that fanned the flames of The Protestant Reformation. It must be stated upfront in this four
.
part devotion that reformation is not a singular action or event, but rather an event that transcends time and place. In summation, Romans 1:17, “The Just Shall Live By Faith Alone,” was a breakthrough in the thought of climbing your way into Heaven by your good works. Because for Luther and others of his time, sin was not met with absolution and forgiveness, immediately, but only through an intercessor (a priest that would listen to your confession and pronounce absolu-
tion- hinged on the works you had to preform to get forgiveness). How can a human have power over the Divine? You can’t… thus, the words of Romans 1:17 echoed in Luther’s ear. Along with his fresh revelation with Holy Scripture, his Father Confessor, Johannes von Staupitz, from the Augustinian Order, always pointed Martin Luther to The Cross of Christ. Meaning, no matter what you’re going through, no matter the sin, your life is being lived in the shadow
of The Cross. Luther and Staupitz grew rather close, keeping Luther’s religious life in check and in constant motivation. So my question to you. If we have established that reformation is not a singular action, but one of fluidity- how are you reforming the environment around you? Are you allowing your light to so shine before other, that they know WHO you are WHOM you serve: The Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Getting a Handle on Prescription Medications Dear Savvy Senior, I’m concerned that my 80-year-old mother is taking too many medications. She currently takes 10 different drugs prescribed by three different doctors, which I think is causing her some problems. She also struggles to keep up with all the drug costs. Any suggestions? Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, There’s no doubt that older Americans are taking more prescription medications than ever before. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, around 40 percent of seniors, age 65 and older, take five or more medications. And the more drugs a person takes, the higher their risk for medication problems, and the more likely they are to take something they don’t need. Brown Bag Review To help you get a better handle on the medications your mom is taking, gather up all her pill bottles – include all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements – and put them in a bag
and take them to her primary doctor or pharmacist for a thorough drug checkup. This “brown-bag review’ will give you a chance to check for duplicate meds, excessive doses, and dangerous interactions, and for you to ask questions. Medicare Part B covers free yearly medication reviews with a doctor through their annual wellness visits, and many Medicare Part D plans cover medication reviews with a pharmacist too. You should also note that October 21, is “National Check Your Meds Day.” A number of pharmacies – Albertsons, Costco, CVS, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart and many independents – have agreed to support the effort. Some may even have extra staff on hand to help you review your meds. Ask your local pharmacy whether it is participating. When you get your mom’s review, go over the basics for each medication or supplement, such as what it’s for, how long she should take it, what it costs, and any side effects and potential interactions. Also ask if there are any meds
she can stop taking, and find out if there are any nondrug options that might be safer, and whether she can switch to a lower dose. To help your mom avoid future medication problems, make sure her primary doctor is aware of all the medications, over-the-counter drugs and supplements she takes. You should also keep an up-dated list of everything she takes and share it with every doctor she sees. And, be sure that your mom fills all her prescriptions at the same pharmacy and informs her pharmacist of any over-the counter, herbal or mail order prescriptions she’s taking so that there is complete oversight of her medications. How To Save To help cut your mom’s medication costs, there are a number of cost savings tips you can try. For starters, find out if there are any generic alternatives to the drugs she currently takes. Switching to generics saves anywhere between 20 and 90 percent. You should also ask your mom’s prescribing doctors if any of the pills she takes could be cut in half. Pill splitting
allows you to get two months worth of medicine for the price of one. And for the drugs she takes long-term, ask for a three-month prescription, which is usually cheaper than buying month-tomonth. Because drug prices can vary depending on where you buy them, another way to save is by shopping around (GoodRX.com will help you compare drug prices at U.S. pharmacies), and find out if your mom’s drug insurance plan offers cheaper deals through preferred pharmacies or a mail-order service. And finally, if your mom’s income is limited, she can probably get help through drug assistance programs offered through pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and charitable organizations. To find these types of programs use BenefitsCheckUp.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

KM rolls over North Gaston
Kings Mountain’s Ricaylen Mack runs behind the blocking of Jonathan Rikard (51) in Friday’s game with North Gaston at Gamble Stadium.
Big plays highlight Mountaineer win Things didn’t look good for the home team early in Friday’s Big South 3A battle between North Gaston and the host Kings Mountain Mountaineers at John Gamble Stadium. After a 47-yard Micah Randall punt pinned the Wildcats on their own three-yard line, the visitors used big plays to make it to the KM one before the Mountaineers’ Stefan Chisholm recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchback. Seven plays later the Mountaineers were in the end zone with a 7-0 lead, then rolled to a 56-20 win to move to 2-0 in the Big South and 5-1 overall. North’s Bryce Cobb reeled off a 66-yard run to the KM 31 on the ‘Cats first play from scrimmage. On the next play Kareem Kennedy rambled 21
yards to the 10. Facing a third and goal at the one, the ‘Cats hit the middle of the line but the ball popped loose and Chisholm came up with it. Facing third and 29 from the 23, Mountaineer quarterback Kaylon Wade hit freshman wide receiver Kobe Paysour in stride with a 68 yard pass play to the North 11 yard line. Two plays later Wade went around right end for a 12-yard touchdown and the rout was on. “It was another good win over a solid team,” noted Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “I was pleased with our production on offense, and minus the first couple of plays we played well on defense. “We had a couple of kickoffs that See NORTH GASTON, Page 4B

KM spikers tighten BSC race Kings Mountain High’s volleyball team is making the Big South 3A Conference race exciting as it heads into the final four games of the regular season. The Lady Mountaineers captured big wins over North Gaston and Hunter Huss last week and are now are within striking distance of another regular season championship. And, the race could come down to the final match of the season. Heading into this week’s actions, the KM ladies are in second place with an 8-2 Big South record. Their county rival, Crest, leads the league with an 8-1 mark but also making a run is Forestview with a
7-3 record. Kings Mountain was scheduled to face Ashbrook yesterday, then will play road games at Burns and Forestview before hosting Crest in the final regular season game on October 12. Last week, the KM ladies defeated North Gaston 26-24, 25-12, 25-17 on Tuesday and whipped Hunter Huss 25-15, 25-15, 25-19 on Thursday. Against the Lady Wildcats, Makena Deaton led the offense with 14 service points and Abbie Harris added 11. Mandy Breakfield had nine service points and played strong on defense, and Layla Harris led the offense in assists. Against Hunter Huss
Thursday, Layla Harris had 12 service points and 30 assists. Deaton had 13 kills and Abbie Harris and Kyann Crocker had 11 and 10 digs, respectively. Breakfield added 13 service points and Baylee Marr was outstanding on offense. In JV action last week, the Lady Mountaineers defeated North Gaston 25-22, 21-25, 15-19 and Huss 25-21, 25-12. Against the Lady Wildcats, Rylie Carroll and Jordan Parker had 13 and 12 service points, respectively.

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers face their biggest challenge yet when they travel to Hunter Huss Friday night for a battle of Big South unbeatens. The Huskies are coming off one of their best seasons ever when they won the Big South 3A Conference and went three rounds in the state 2A playoffs before bowing to four-time state champion Shelby. Among their conquests last year was Gaston County’s perennial champion, South Point, 21-16. The Raiders went on to win the state 3A championship. With 15 starters back off that team, the Mountaineers have their work cut out for them. “They have a very good team,” noted KM coach Greg Lloyd. “They are primarily an I-formation team but they do spread it out some and do a lot of play action. They run their offense very well, have excellent speed and probably the most athletic team we’ve seen. “They’re super aggressive on defense. They’re a wellcoached group and one of the favorites to win the conference.” They are good against the run and the pass and do not surrender many points. The Huskies are experienced at every position and are the quickest team the Mountaineers have seen so far this year. Their senior quarterback, Dallas Danner, is an excellent runner and passer and they have quick running backs and receivers who can break the long plays. Just like KM, the Huskies come into the game with a 2-0 conference record. They have BSC wins over North Gaston and Burns. Their two non-conference losses were to two of the best teams in the area, Clover, SC and Hickory by one-point margins. “We will have to play our most complete game of the season,” says Coach Lloyd. “We can’t have any breakdowns and give them big plays. We’ll have to be able to run and throw and hang on to the football.” With it being the Huskies’ homecoming, and with both teams being in a group of four undefeated teams in the conference, Huss will be fired up sky high. “They’re a good team that’s capable of beating anybody,” said Lloyd. “We look See HUSS, Page 4B

JVs rout Wildcats 38-8 Kings Mountain High’s JV football team rolled to its second straight Big South win and fourth in five games overall Thursday night at North Gaston, 38-8. The Mountaineers scored on all three of their first half possessions for a 24-8 halftime lead, and on their first possession of the second half to turn the game into a rout. Running back Ra’Sheem Hughes scored from seven yards out as the Mountaineers drove the opening kickoff 62 yards in six plays. Laz Welch, who would finish with 121 yards rushing, tacked on the two-point conversion for an 8-0 advantage. Welch got off runs of 18 and 19 yards to key the drive. After an interception by Luke Bishop, the Mountaineers drove 66 yards in six plays to take a 16-0 lead. Quarterback Belton Pressley connected with Bishop for a 42-yard TD and threw to Bryce Fisher for a two-point conversion. North Gaston’s triple option attack began opening holes for running back Michael Crosby who scored from two yards out to cut the margin to 16-8 with 3:40 left in the half. The Wildcats then successfully executed an onside kick, but four plays later Bishop intercepted a pass at the KM 37. A 24-yard keeper by Pressley keyed a 63-yard touchdown drive capped by Pressley’s nine-yard pass to Fisher, and then the two hooked up for a two-point conversion that sent the Mountaineers into the halftime break with a 24-8 lead. The KM defense stopped North Gaston on downs at the NG 40 to open the second half, and on the Mountaineers’ first play Welch covered the dis-

others played well defensively for the Mountaineers, and kicker Alex Browning’s booming kickoffs helped keep the Wildcats in their own territory most of the night.

last week’s game with an ankle injury but it’s not serious and he’s expected to play. AJ Austin, who sat out the last two games with an ankle injury, should be back as well. “I thought Kaylon had a really good game last week, and John Harmon Melton came in and did a good job at quarterback,” Lloyd said. “He’s a versatile player, is very smart and has good size. He’s a jack of all trades. Wherever we need him he’s going to contribute. AJ was really playing well before he got hurt; he’ll help us too.”
From Page 1B forward to the challenge and we’ll see what happens.” This is the first of two rugged away games for the Mountaineers, who travel to Gastonia Ashbrook next week. Ashbrook is much-improved under its new coaching staff and will face Crest in another battle of BSC unbeaten Friday. “This is a solid conference,” Lloyd said. Kings Mountain should go into the game at full strength. Starting quarterback Kaylon Wade left
they just about broke for touchdowns. We missed some tackles and blocking assignments, but it’s hard to fuss about it when you win that big. But we do have some things we have to improve on.” The Mountaineers built a 21-0 lead on runs of 17 yards by Wade and three by Ricaylen Mack, then answered a North TD in the final minute of the first half to go into the break up 28-6 on a 33yard Wade to John Harmon Melton pass. Then, in an unbelievable one minute and one second span of the third quarter the Mountaineers scored twice and the Wildcats once to run the score to 42-13. To start the excitement, KM’s Nathan Lease recovered a fumbled pitchout at the North 23. Mack covered the distance in two carries – the second for a 3-yard TD – for a 35-6 KM lead with 11:19 on the clock.
NETTERS From Page 1A Jasmine Guy (KM d. Anna Spurrier 7-5, 6-2; Ann Scott Baker (KM) won 6-3, 6-0.
Just 13 seconds later, Marquis Fewell intercepted a pass and returned it 23 yards for a touchdown and a 42-6 KM advantage. After a pooch kickoff to the North 23, Wildcat quarterback Isaiah McNeil rambled 75 yards on second down for a touchdown. Wade left the game early in the second half after a horse collar tackle, but his first half totals put him over the 1,000-yard mark in total offense for the year. He now has 1,173 yards total offense (353 rushing and 820 passing). In the penalty-filled third quarter that lasted over an hour, Melton, who replaced Wade at quarterback, scored on a five-yard run to put KM up 49-13.

award. "Bluegrass music has changed my life in so many ways. It's brought lifelong friendships, incredible experiences, opportunities to play with so many musical heroes and allowed me to be who God made me to be..."a singer." I'm completely honored to be this year’s IBMA Female Vocalist and have Darin share the moment with me too as the 2017 Mentor of the Year,’’ said Brooke. Darin Aldridge thanked “the many people who took time to help me along my journey to make music that inspires and encourages people. This Mentor Award means so much to me because helping and teaching others is my way of thanking all those people who helped shape and direct me. I’m just so very grateful. And so humbled”. When Darin and Brooke learned that their November 18th annual Holiday Concert at the Joy Performance Center sold out in just 22 days they added a 3p.m. matinee show. John Cowan, their good friend and touring partner, will join them for this special matinee. Local fans will be treated to the Cowan & Aldridge stage show that has performed more than 70 dates at packed theaters and festivals across the county (including the Grand Ole Opry Fourth of July special). Tickets for the matinee are $25 and can be ordered online at www. KMLT.org.
