Catawba Nation’s KM casino plan OK’d Building of large gaming enterprise could help area economically, according to Catawba and KM officials

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Special to the Herald

At a Friday, March 13, 1 p.m., press conference held inside the Kings Mountain

City Hall, Catawba Nation Chief Bill Harris stood with members of the Kings Mountain City Council, Cleveland County Commissioners, and Catawba Nation Tribal Council members and spoke about what is described as a “major economic development” for the area.

Catawba Nations Chief William Harris said that after seven years, two months of waiting and wondering, the

City given notice of $25,000 civil penalty

By Loretta Cozart On February 11, W. Corey Basinger, Regional Supervisor, Water Quality Regional Operations Section, Division of Water Resources, DEQ, issued Ricky Duncan, Water Resources Director for the City of Kings Mountain, a Notification of Violation due to the city’s failures to properly implement the pretreatment program, violations of North Carolina GS 143215.1 15A. According to the notice, a civil penalty not to exceed $25,000 may be assessed for failing to comply with the terms of their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

It is noted that the city did initiate enforcement

actions on two industrial dischargers; however, these enforcement actions were not done within the required thirty (30) day timeframe stipulated in the Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) on Commercial Vehicle Group for limit and reporting violations and on Kings Mountain International for reporting violations during the second half of 2019.

The city also failed to adhere to all of the IUP sampling methods during both semi-annual reporting periods at Cormetech in 2019.

The Environmental Management Commission (EMC) and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) create regulations to enforce the law. The regulations used by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Unit fall under Section 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code.

We have nothing to fear… but fear itself

By Loretta Cozart In his 1938 inaugural address, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt shared words of wisdom that are timely for Americans today, especially with the widespread fear of COVID-19.Roosevelt knew then, as we know now, that fear is the enemy.

In his speech, Roosevelt said, “let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which

is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.”

Nelson Mandela knew that fear was the enemy when he said “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

The nation is facing an unprecedented pandemic, one that may define our generation. A similar challenge happened more than 100 years ago, in 1918 to 1919.

National leaders must work together quickly to defeat this disease, with the help of the people.

President Trump declared a state of emergency on Friday, March 13, as a result of the spread of COVID-19, providing billions of dollars See FEAR, Page 5A

United States Department of the Interior came down in their favor, saying, via email, that 16.75 acres of land off Dixon School Road in Cleveland County would, after so many years of political wrangling, be set aside in land trust for the Catawbas to use for the building of a casino and gaming resort.

Atrium Health restricts visitors due to COVID-19 In conjunction with six other regional health systems, Atrium Health is expanding visitor restrictions to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In light of Governor Cooper’s declaration of a state of emergency in North Carolina due to the virus, Atrium Health is taking this additional measure to protect the health of our patients, their loved ones and our medical staff.

Effective immediately, only immediate family members, aged 13 and over, will be able to take part in hospital visiting hours unless deemed absolutely necessary by the patient’s healthcare team.

This standard will apply even if visitors are healthy and regardless of their age. Existing visitation restrictions already apply to all children age 12 and under due to the ongoing flu season visitor restrictions that remain in effect.

In addition, any and all visitors, including fam-

KM HOSPITAL ily members, with flu-like symptoms such as fever and new or worsening cough or shortness of breath will not be allowed in patient areas to help control the spread of illnesses. Nursing staff and the attending physician will work with families who have special circumstances, such as a critically ill or injured family member, on a case-by-case basis.

The visitation restrictions apply to all Atrium Health

inpatient locations:, including Carolinas Rehabilitation-Charlotte, Mt. Holly, and NorthEast.

This is a rapidly evolving situation and Atrium Health will take additional steps to help control the spread of COVID-19 as necessary.

Atrium Health recognizes that interacting with friends and family can be helpful to the healing process and strongly encourage everyone to utilize other forms of sup-

port for their loved ones, such as phone calls, video chats on cell phones or other mobile devices.

The decision to expand these visitor restrictions is a collaborative effort among Atrium Health and six other regional health systems including Carolinas HealthCare System Blue Ridge, CaroMont Health, Cone Health, Novant Health, Randolph Health and Wake Forest Baptist Health.

For those who are concerned they many have contracted COVID-19, the CDC and Health Department are actively working to increase access to testing. Testing is currently being focused on patients who have symptoms of the flu and who came in contact with a confirmed coronavirus case.

For those that have flu or cold-like symptoms, please stay home from work or school until you have no fever for at least 48 hours without See ATRIUM, Page 2A

Gov. Cooper closes schools and bans gatherings of more than 100 people O n March 14, Governor Roy Cooper ordered all K-12 p u b l i c schools in North GOV. COOPER Carolina to close for a minimum of two weeks in response to COVID-19. The Executive Order also bans gatherings of more than 100 people.

North Carolina currently has 23 people in 12 counties who have tested positive for COVID-19.

“We do not have the luxury of a wait-and-see approach. These are hard decisions but they are necessary so we can learn more about the virus,” Governor Cooper said. “We do not want any regrets in the rearview mirror, and I am guided by one objective – doing what we

must to keep people from getting sick and to make sure that those who do can get excellent care."

The Executive Order directs all public schools to close beginning Monday, March 16, for at least two weeks. The two-week period allows time for North Carolina to further understand the impact of COVID19 across the state and develop a plan for continued learning for students should a longer closure be needed.

Governor Cooper made the decision in consultation with State Board of Education Chair Eric Davis, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mark Johnson, and North Carolina Health and Human Services Secretary Mandy Cohen.

Governor Cooper has appointed an Education and Nutrition Working Group to develop a plan to ensure

that children and families are supported while schools are closed. The working group will focus on issues including nutrition, health, childcare access for critical health care and other frontline workers and learning support for children at home.

The Working Group will be co- chaired by Susan Gale Perry, Chief Deputy Secretary of NC DHHS and David Stegall, Ed.D, Deputy State Superintendent of Innovation at DPI, and will have representatives from DPI, NC DHHS, the State Board of Education, as well as other education, nutrition and childcare associations.

“I am standing up this new working group to ensure that children have enough food to eat, families have care in safe places for their young children, and student learning continues,”

Governor Cooper said.

In addition to closing schools, the Executive Order prohibits mass gatherings that bring together more than 100 people in a single room or space, such as an auditorium, stadium, arena, large conference room, meeting hall, theater, or other confined indoor or outdoor space, including parades, fairs and festivals.

Violations of the order are punishable as a Class 2 misdemeanor.

The ban on gatherings does not include airports, bus and train stations, medical facilities, libraries, shopping malls and spaces where people may be in transit. Office environments, restaurants, factories, or retail or grocery stores are also excluded.

The Order received concurrence by members of the NC Council of State without

ficials to provide the flexibility and funding they need to respond to these rapid developments and keep North Carolina communities safe.”

In response to this Executive Order, Cleveland County Schools posted on their website, “The Governor of North Carolina issued an Executive Order that all schools throughout the state will be closed for students for two weeks beginning Monday, March 16. Therefore, Cleveland County Schools is closed for students beginning Monday, March 16. Please continue to check our website for updated information over the next two weeks. We will continue to provide you with additional updates on a variety of educational, instructional, and operational information,” they posted.

Bars and restaurants closed for dine-in service

CASINO From Page 1A Washington, D.C., was a dream come true for him and the entire Catawba Nation. He noted the decision about after an environmental assessment was finalized regarding the land off of I-85. That assessment, he said, began December 2019.

The Friday, March 13, press conference began with Kings Mountain Mayor Scott Neisler telling everyone how excited he was that all of the hard work by the City of Kings Mountain, the Catawba Nation, and Cleveland County has finally come to fruition with the land trust decision.

Said Neisler, “This is a surreal thing! While we are here welcoming the Catawba Nation, they should, in fact, be welcoming us. They and their ancestors have been around longer that we have but we are happy they are working with us to make this happen for Kings Mountain and Cleveland County, as well as other surrounding counties whose economies can and will be affected by this development.”

Neisler continued, “We look forward to the economic development that will come from this.”

The economic development Neisler speaks of is the possible 9,000 total jobs that could come about – 5,000 construction phase jobs, according to Chief Harris’ estimates, and another 4,000 when the facility opens up.

It is noted, said Chief Harris, that any profit from the casino, once it is built and gets going, will go to the Catawba Nation to benefit it and its tribal members, it is not unreasonable to note that Cleveland County in general, and Kings Mountain in specific, will be the beneficiaries as well. Chief Harris talked about Kings Mountain utilities in the form of power supply to the casino, as well as what other attendant industries and such that might

objection.

House Speaker Tim Moore said the state General Assembly is prepared to support school districts with flexibility and funding they may need due to the closures.

“While I know this is a decision no one wanted to make, under the circumstances this is the right thing to do for North Carolina at this time,” Speaker Moore said Saturday.

“I hear from medical providers that their biggest need if schools close is childcare support for healthcare professionals, so I ask North Carolinians to pull together and support those families who serve on the front lines of this emergency.”

“School systems and students can rest assured the state legislature will work closely with education of-

Governor Roy Cooper and members of the Coronavirus Task Force introduced a new executive order in response to COVID-19 closing restaurants and bars for dine-in customers but allows them to continue takeout and

delivery orders, effective 5 pm, Tuesday, March 17..

The executive order, introduced Tuesday at 2 pm, also included an expansion of unemployment insurance to help North Carolina workers affected by COVID-19.

With members of the Catawba Nation Tribal Council and Mayor Scott Neisler of Kings Mountain behind him, Chief Bill Harris speaks to the press about what a great day it is for him and his people to be able to move forward with their casino project. Behind Chief Harris are Butch Sanders, Vice-Chief Jason Harris, Mayor Neisler, and Catawba Nations Treasurer Rod Beck. (photo by MEP/The Eagle) spring up around the casino, adding to the tax base as well.

Assistant Chief Jason Harris talked about the proposed casino and resort bringing the areas many young men and women who went away to college and to other areas seeking jobs, back to the county and the nearby towns.

Mayor Neisler commented on how Chief Harris, who has served for nine years as the Chief of the Catawbas, has been an inspiration for his tribe.

Chief Harris said this time in history is momentous because as his people befriended our relatives, so it has all come around full circle and the Catawba Nation is being welcomed.

Said Chief Harris, “This is, in a way, about a righting of wrongs; how that there are not many times we can be a part of something this historically significant.”

He continued, “We will work together to bring about a good economy and good things for our people.”

When asked when this would happen, Chief Harris smiled and said, “Now! As soon as possible! That’s what I would like to say.”

Much was made by some in the media present about the Cherokee not being happy with the federal government giving the land in trust to the Catawba Nation, to which Chief Harris replied, “We would like to work together with them, to unite with

them in this. Blood that runs through the Cherokee runs through the Catawba.” He said he wants to see a discussion take place whereby both nations might come together and work to bring people to both casinos.

The proposed Catawba Nation Casino has been touted by all as a “destination resort” and “entertainment complex”; however, no set date has been mentioned, let alone finalized, according to officials.

Chief Harris said this will be a “first class operation and it will be highly regulated. We are in it for the long haul!”

Chief Harris introduced Jack McNeill, of Delaware North, whose group is a consultant to the Catawba Nation, who noted the casino’s longterm impact on Cleveland County, Kings Mountain, and other local communities, as far as jobs are concerned, will be, as he termed it, “phenomenal.”

Regarding the Cherokee’s suing the federal government on the land trust matter, Chief Harris noted he didn’t feel, as these were “aboriginal lands”, the Cherokee Nation had any legal right on which to stand, so far as it goes.

He alluded to historical maps of the original 13 colonies and how land was divided up in those days.

“If you look at them (the maps from that time), they were drawn up by whites, not (Native Americans). These are aboriginal lands.”

On March 13, 2019 Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, of N.C. introduced legislation in Washington, D.C., allowing the Catawbas to take land into trust in order to build a casino on Dixon School Road near I-85 in Kings Mountain. Co-sponsoring with Graham were Thom Tillis and Richard Burr, who Mayor Neisler and Chief Harris thanked for their action and support in making this happen.

Officials at the press conference noted the finished casino will be roughly 1.8 million square feet and will generate the aforementioned 9,000 jobs as well as drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists to the area every year.

In a media release from the Catawba Indian Nation, Chief Harris noted the land in trust is “located in close proximity to our current landholdings and is our ancestral land, in an area the Catawba people have used and occupied since time immemorial.”

By Loretta Cozart The Cleveland County Potato Project and the Jr. and Sr. Civitan clubs are combining forces to help people impacted by the Coronavirus.

“This idea is less than 24hours old, so we are working to set the plan and get the word out to our citizens who want to help their neighbors in this unprecedented time of need,” Sharp said. “And, we want those in need to know that we are also working to help them.”

“The coalition plans to collect fruits and vegetables that have a longer shelf-life, like potatoes, of course,” said Doug Sharp, co-founder of the Cleveland County Potato Project. “But onions, sweet

potatoes, and even apples would be appreciated.”

“The coalition is working this week formalize our plans to collect and then distribute basic foods that have a longer shelf-life to people impacted by the Coronavirus, including parents with children out of school, people out of work, those who have children in daycare who now have to keep their kids at home, and those struggling to get by. We don’t want anyone to go hungry,” Sharp said.

The group plans is to set up collection points at major supermarkets in the county to collect bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, and apples at local grocery stores on Saturday, March 27 and Sunday,

March 28 from 10 am until 4 pm. If collections go well, they’ll consider extending it.

The items collected would then be distributed to families in need through organizations like Crisis Assistance Ministry, the Baptist’s Association, the Salvation Army, and other groups.

At press time, the plans are still fluid, and no firm locations have been set. The Herald will share those details as they become available later this week at kmherald. com and on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook. com/KingsMountainHerald/ If you would like to donate, or need more information, contact Doug Sharp at 704 472 5128.

Three Cleveland County DAR chapters meet here

By Robin M. Meyer Cleveland County is home to three chapters of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution: Benjamin Cleveland Chapter in Shelby, Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter in Kings Mountain and Flint Hills Chapter in Boiling Springs.

On Saturday, February 22, the chapters held a joint meeting to celebrate Presidents’ Day. The Cleveland County Chapters were joined by a number of guests including the mayor of Kings Mountain and Daughters from Hickory Tavern, Major William Chronicle and Clear Creek Militia Chapters of North Carolina and Colonel John McIntosh Chapter of Georgia. It was a treat sharing the duties of a meeting and having a time to meet with other daughters.

After a lovely luncheon prepared by the Methodist Men of Central United Methodist Church, daughters and guests heard from Warren Bingham, a speaker and writer with a commanding grasp of Southern history, culture and lore. His

interest and research on George Washington’s “Southern Tour” of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia resulted in his book “George Washington’s 1791 Southern Tour” published by The History Press in 2016. It seems fitting that we heard new and interesting information about the first president of the United States on his 288th birthday.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to preserve the memory and spirit of those who contributed to securing American independence. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership.

DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations with nearly 180,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide. These members passionately carry out the timeless mission of promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. To learn more about the work of today’s DAR, visit www.dar.org

in federal funds. During the press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House, President Trump stated, “To unleash the full power of the Federal Government in this effort today, I am officially declaring a National Emergency.

The action I am taking will open access to $50 billion dollars for states, territories, and localities in our shared fight against this disease.”

The President urged every state to step up emergency operation centers, effective immediately and asked every hospital to activate its emergency preparedness plan, so they can meet the needs of Americans everywhere.

President Trump went on to say, “The emergency orders I’m issuing today will also confer broad new authority to the secretary of Health and Human Services, and the secretary will be able to immediately wave provisions of applicable laws

Guest speaker Warren Bingham with Chapter Regents Wendy Hopewell – Major William Chronicle Chapter, Libby Putnam – Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter, Rebecca Higgins – Benjamin Cleveland Chapter and Melissa Davis – Flint Hills Chapter.

and regulations to give doctors, hospitals, and health providers maximum flexibility to respond to the virus and care for patients.”

The reasoning behind the president’s action is because diseases like COVID-19 spread exponentially. On January 22, the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in America. On March 11, the World Health Organization classified the disease as a pandemic. As of March 17, there were 4,661 reported cases nationwide.

The best way to defeat the virus is to take it seriously and put into practice the directions shared by the CDC. Make sure everyone in your family follows these guidelines to protect your family. The way to flatten the growth curve, as medical professionals call it, is by social distancing. As a result, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper cancelled schools for the next two weeks. But for that to be effective, all citizens need to limit social activity. Some companies are also allowing their employees to telecommute, or work

from home, when their jobs can be done in that manner.

Avoid social activity. If you must go out, do so in off-peak times and keep your distance from others. A space of six feet is suggested. Avoid touching commonly used hard surfaces.

And wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for a minimum of 20 seconds. Avoid touching your face, as that is the easiest way to transfer the virus.

Do you need to buy a face mask? The Centers for Disease control say no. Masks are for those infected and for medical professionals. If you have one already and it makes you feel safer to use it, go ahead. If you try to buy masks locally, you probably won’t find one as most have sold out. Online, sellers are charging astronomical amounts for a mask that would have cost $3 prior to the pandemic.

Common sense is the key to weathering this storm. Do as the CDC recommends: • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing,

Page 5A

or sneezing, or having been in a public place.

• If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

• To the extent possible, avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places – elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, handshaking with people, etc.

Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something.

• Wash your hands after touching surfaces in public places.

• Avoid touching your face, nose, eyes, etc.

• Clean and disinfect your home to remove germs: practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces (for example: tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks & cell phones) • Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces.

Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are people in

the crowd who are sick.

• Avoid all non-essential travel including plane trips, and especially avoid embarking on cruise ships.

If you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 because of your age or because you have a serious long-term health problem, it is extra important for you to take actions to reduce your risk of getting sick with the disease.

• Stock up on supplies.

• Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others.

• When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact and wash your hands often.

• Avoid crowds as much as possible.

• Avoid cruise travel and non-essential air travel.

• During a COVID-19 outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible to further reduce your risk of being exposed.

If a COVID-19 outbreak happens in the community, it could last a while. (An out-

break is when a large number of people suddenly get sick, not just one case.) Practice social distancing and stay away from anyone who is sick.

• Take extra measures to put distance between yourself and other people to further reduce your risk of being exposed to this new virus.

• Stay home as much as possible.

Our world is at war with COVID-19. Citizens who approach this disease head on and take the advice of medical professional seriously, will help stave off this disease. Allowing fear to overtake us only slows down progress.

The understanding and support of the people is essential for victory over COVID-19, because we fight it in the places we live, in our homes. Confidence and understanding will overcome the fear and allow us to defeat this disease.

■ MEDITATION

The Sick Need a Doctor T h e entire world is taking drastic action to fight a rapidly spreadPastor i n g Jeff Longwell virus.

Penley’s Chapel Schools Church a r e closed, sporting events have been canceled, travel is restricted, businesses are shuttered, and the population is encouraged to stay home. Medical and pharmaceutical companies are fo-

cusing all of their resources on treatment and prevention of further infection. People are panicking, clearing grocery store aisles of essential items as they look towards an uncertain future.

As a Christian I am reminded that as bad as this is, there is a greater threat to this world’s population: the sin-sickness of the soul.

While many live their entire lives unaware of their soul’s condition, the detrimental effects have eternal consequences.

In Mark chapter two, Jesus was teaching inside a house that was so full no one else could get in.

A man who was paralyzed was lowered down to Jesus through the roof by his friends, who wanted to see him healed.

Unexpectedly, Jesus looked at the man and said, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The Lord saw this man’s most important need was not for his body to be healed, but for his heart to be made right before God. Then as the people looked on in amazement, Jesus spoke the word and the paralyzed man walked out of that house carrying his bed.

Later in the same chapter, we find Jesus eating with sinners. The self-righ-

teous religious leaders asked His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?” They couldn’t understand why the Lord would hang out with the likes of those people! Sadly, their disdain for others kept them from seeing their own condition. If you don’t believe you’re sick, you won’t go to the doctor. Jesus said as much when He answered their objections. “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” The problem with the scribes and Pharisees was that they would never admit their sin-sick condition, so the

Doctor could do nothing for them.

Every person born since Adam has a sin nature. No one had to teach us to lie, lust, or be selfish; all of those things come naturally. This sin problem has separated us from God who loves us and offers the cure for a sin weary soul. Jesus is the healer. His death and resurrection have broken sin’s power over our lives, but we must acknowledge our condition and come to the Great Physician to be healed. Let’s get our hearts right before God first, then trust Him to deliver us from the physical sickness that threatens our world.

East Gold Street Wesleyan Food Pantry The East Gold Street Wesleyan Church, located at 701 East Gold Street, Kings Mountain, will open its food pantry to the community on Thursday, March 19th from 6 p.m. to 8 pm.

Shall Not Be Denied: Women Fight for the Vote

Nation celebrates 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment

By Loretta Cozart In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, stating that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States on account of sex.”

During the 100th year of ratification, organizations nationwide have begun celebrating this milestone during March, Women’s History Month.

The Daughters of the American Revolution, or DAR, is a genealogy society that began in 1890. The group was founded by progressive women, many of whom were suffragists. The DAR Museum in Washington, DC, will honor those who fought for the right to vote, as well as other women who broke down barriers, during Women’s History Month.

The DAR’s Women’s History Celebration will be held on March 14 and attendees can learn more about DAR members who advocated for women’s suffrage, discover inspirational artists, and learn more about other outstanding American women.

The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, Na-

Edwin Yates Webb of Cleveland County represented the Western District of NC and was the only North Carolina representative who voted in favor. tional Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.

The desire to address inequality and challenge the country to live up to its revolutionary promise led to a two-day convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848,

Women picket at White House. Photos Library of Congress where 300 women and men gathered to debate Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s Declaration of Sentiments.

Modeled after the Declaration of Independence, it outlined women’s inferior status and included a radical demand for suffrage. Their slogan, Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.

Tactics changed over time

and women chose public displays and parades. On January 24, 1917, a group of twenty suffragists, organized by Ella Riegel of Bryn Mawr, left Philadelphia and arrived by noon for “Pennsylvania Day.” Women carried signs that read, “Mr. President, How Long Must Women Wait for Liberty.”

Alison Turnbull Hopkins, of New Jersey, positioned her-

self, ensuring that President Woodrow Wilson could not avoid seeing her when passing through the White House gates on New Jersey Day, January 30, 1917. Her husband, John A. Hopkins, served on the Democratic National Committee in 1916 and helped run Wilson’s campaign in their state.

On 10 January 10, 1918, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Nineteenth

(Ed. Note: The recipes in today’s cooking column come from contributors to a cookbook sponsored by the Kings Mountain Woman’s Club as a fund-raising project.)

Alison Turnbull Hopkins positioned herself so Woodrow Wilson would see her as he arrived at the White House. She and her husband worked for his campaign in New Jersey during the prior election.

Diane Williams now.

Diane Williams during her playing days at KMHS.

Diane Williams during her playing days at LR.

Multi-sports star Diane Williams to be inducted into Hall of Fame (Second in a series of articles on the 2020 Kings Mountain Hall of Fame class. The ceremony is Sat., May 9 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church).

Diane Williams wasn’t just one of a few four-sport athletes in Kings Mountain High history, but she was one of the very best. She has Title IX, her God-given talent and a lot of help from family, coaches and teammates to thank for it.

Before Title IX, the only sport high school girls could play was basketball.

Williams was very good at that along with track, softball and volleyball.

She was an all-conference star in all four of those sports at KMHS, went on to make all-conference in three sports at Lenoir-Rhyne University and was the MVP in the USA National Softball Tournament in Oklahoma City, OK in 2006 when she helped lead her team to the championship.

Now retired from sports, she lives in Mebane, NC and works for GSK, a pharmaceutical company in Durham and in her job capacity has traveled all over the world.

The daughter of Paul and Lucille Williams of Kings Mountain, she was a

natural athlete and also excelled in academics, being ranked sixth in her graduating class of 273.

She came through Kings Mountain when it had a junior high school (grades 7, 8 and 9) and a senior high for grades 10 through 12.

At the junior high she was the basketball MVP as a seventh grader, MVP in basketball and track and most improved in softball, and MVP in basketball, softball and track in the ninth grade.

At KMHS, she was All-Southwestern Conference in basketball, volleyball, softball and track several times, runner-up for SWC Player of the Year in both basketball and track, MVP in volleyball, track and basketball and SWC Player of the Year in volleyball.

She was the KMHS Booster Club Female Athlete of the Year in 1981, a Cleveland County Honor Athlete (an athletic and scholastic honor), led the basketball team in all offensive statistics, set a school record for scoring 59 ½ points in track and going to the state regionals two years in a row, and still had time to participate in numerous clubs and the National Honor Society.

If her high school career

wasn’t impressive enough, she accepted a volleyball scholarship to LR and then was recruited to play basketball and softball. She received more awards there and lettered in all three sports.

After college, she played softball for many years in Durham before ending her playing career after undergoing two major ACL surgeries.

She credits her coaches and teammates at KMJH, KMHS and LR for her success.

“When I was in the seventh grade my coaches were Candy Albergine and Becky Summitt,” she noted. “They took my raw talent and turned it into something. They were not only good teachers of the game, but they found ways to motivate you.

“In high school, the thing that meant the most to me was a trophy I received for academics, which is really what got me the sports scholarship to Lenoir-Rhyne.”

Playing softball on the national level was exciting for many years. Her Durham team won the national title two years in a row. She was injured and didn’t play much in the first one. She played every inning in the second cham-

pionship run.

“To be able to come back and make it to that point again was exciting,” she noted. “It was not an accomplishment for me but it was really a whole team coming together to win it both years.”

She said she will remember winning at KM and making so many All-Conference teams several years in a row, but her biggest personal thrill was being named Player of the Year in volleyball.

“We didn’t have volleyball in junior high,” she recalled. “The first time I ever played it was in the tenth grade. I loved it. Ending up as player of the year was amazing, but I also remember getting my very first stitches from diving for a ball.”

Like most Mountaineers, she said she enjoyed the rivalry with Shelby.

“Shelby always got me motivated,” she said. “Having the opportunity to play volleyball is what got me my scholarship. Our coach was Kathy Brooks. I loved her as a coach. She was very motivational and encouraging.

“I want to thank the school for allowing us to play volleyball. The camaraderie is the important thing. The knowledge you

learn and skill of playing; you learn a lot of life skills.

What meant more than winning was that we had players with a lot of different personalities, and that has carried me through my working life. I have managed a lot of people and that made my transition into a career a lot easier.”

Williams said she doesn’t remember all of the games, but it is amazing that the adrenalin one gets from playing sports is still there in her working life.

“When the game’s on the line, and there’s three seconds on the clock and you score a basket to win the game and you forget how tired you are and how hurt you are, it comes back to you in life,” she said.

She fondly remembers her KMHS teammates on the 1981 team that posted a 16-9 record which was one of the best since girls basketball went from six players to five.

“We had some good players on that team,” she said.

“Sheryl Goode played center and I played forward. A lot of times both of us would be right under the basket fighting for rebounds. Trina Hamrick was a sophomore and she was a very good player. We made a pretty good trio for

getting rebounds. Bridget Glass was our point guard and she did a good job getting us the ball.”

Williams said one of her biggest thrills playing softball in Durham was getting to play in the East-West All-Star tournament in the old Durham Bulls Stadium where the popular movie Bull Durham was filmed.

Williams said she is excited about going into the Hall of Fame, but she is quick to give the credit to others.

“It is an awesome feeling and a huge honor. I am very proud to have been a Patriot and a Mountaineer.

Kings Mountain has been a very important part of my life,” she said.

“It just kind of puts the candle on the cake. It’s the ultimate award for the work and time you put into sports. I appreciate the committee electing me and I am very proud to be a member of the Kings Mountain Hall of Fame.

“But you don’t get this kind of an award without the support of family, coaches, teachers, fans and friends. It’s not a road you travel alone. You had a lot of help from a lot of people.”

Lady Mountaineers 2-0 in BSC as NC schools closed for break Kings Mountain High’s girls softball team blasted North Gaston 15-4 in five innings Friday to go 2-0 in the Big South 3A Conference as all North Carolina schools go into at least a two-week break of practice and playing because of the Corona virus scare.

Photos by Gary Smart

Mountaineers beat NG to go 2-0 in Big South Clinton Turner retired the side in order in the top of the seventh inning to save a 4-3 victory for the Kings Mountain Mountaineers in what could be their last game for the next couple of weeks, and maybe even longer because schools have been dismissed because of the corona virus.

The win gave the Mountaineers a 2-0 Big South record.

Senior southpaw Bryce Fisher started for the Mountaineers and pitched five strong innings before running into trouble in the top of the sixth. Fisher had a 4-0 lead but the Wildcats rallied for three runs on four hits to get back into the game.

Three consecutive singles by the Wildcats ended the Mountaineers’ shutout hopes. The visitors had runners on second and third when Turner came to the mound.

After a couple of strikeouts by Turner, North rallied again and cut the score to 4-3 on a bloop single to center

by Peyton Long. The Mountaineers got out of the inning when North’s Bryan Wallace grounded to second base.

North was still in the game as the Mountaineers left the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings, but Turner struck out Parker Richards and Dylan Arms to open the seventh and then got Wood on a pop-up to second base to end the game.

Kings Mountain, which left the bases loaded in the second, broke on top with three runs in the bottom of the third. Cameron Stevens reached on a dropped fly ball by the North left fielder. Zane Brockman walked and Boone Cartee was hit by a pitch. An out later, Chris Ruffalo’s single to center plated two runs,

Kings Mountain Middle School nabbed the lead late in the game to defeat Burns 11-8 in Tri-County Conference baseball action Wednesday, running its record to 2-0 going into the Cleveland County Schools mandated break.

The Patriots were down 8-7 in the top of the seventh inning when Aiden Taylor singled on a 2-0 count to drive in two runs.

Jack Toney collected four hits in four at-bats to help lead the KM victory.

Toney singled in the first, doubled in the second and fourth innings, and singled again in the seventh.

The Patriots fired up the offense in the first inning on Colton Mayes’ double.

After KMMS scored two runs in the top of the second, Burns answered with two of their own. The Patriots scored when Toney doubled on the first pitch, driving in two runs. Burns

answered when Dubesko doubled home two runs.

Burns scored three runs in the fifth inning on a single by Hoyle.

Taylor pitched KM to victory. He lasted two innings, allowing just one hit and no runs while striking out one and walking none.

Brayden Patrick and Ethan Carroll entered the game out of the bullpen to help save it.

Hoyle took the loss for Burns. He allowed 14 hits and 11 runs over six innings.

Mayes started for Kings Mountain. He went four innings, allowing five runs on five hits and striking out four.

The Patriots racked up 14 hits. Toney, Patrick and Taylor all had multiple hits.

KM was sure-handed in the field and didn’t commit a single error.

While KM benefitted from North errors, the Mountaineers left 12 men on base to North Gaston’s four. The Mountaineers left the bases loaded in their final two at-bats.

Fisher and Turner combined for 11 strikeouts, with Fisher getting seven in five innings of work and Turner adding four.

Kings Mountain High’s baseball team opened its Big South Conference season last week with a 7-2 win at Stuart Cramer.

Justin Cooke started on the mound and pitched the first four innings. He gave up two runs on three hits while striking out six.

Bryce Fisher came in relief in the fifth inning with runners on first and third and no outs. He then proceeded to strike out

the next two batters, and the third out was recorded when the runner on first attempted to steal second.

Fisher was perfect in the sixth and seventh innings.

He ended the day with three innings pitched and eight strikeouts.

Blake Broome led the offense with three hits.

Cameron Stevens, Zane Brockman, Boone Cartee, Fisher and AJ Wylie also had hits.

We are currently working to finish the new tennis field house and restroom facility. Kings Mountain High School is a showcase in the county.

In addition to the facilities, we have provided uniforms, meals, equipment and travel

expenses to all teams.

“This is made possible in large part to the response we receive from the golf tournament. It is the primary fund raising event for the Touchdown Club.

Last year, we grossed over $70,000 from the event. We hope to make this year’s tournament even bigger.

Proceeds will go to the building fund to help pay down the debt on the existing projects.”

sale, with all proceeds benefiting leukemia research/patients. All performances are co-sponsored by Cleveland Community College and will be at the Mildred H. Keeter Auditorium at the College.
