Commissioners reach agreement with the Catawba Indian Nation By Loretta Cozart The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners met on Tuesday, March 19 at 6 p.m. for the regular meeting in council chambers on Marion Street in Shelby. On the agenda was a presentation by Leonard Fletcher of TGS Engineering who shared plans for the first phase of a multiuse entertainment complex, including restaurants, band venues, theaters, and a casino proposed by the Catawba Indian Nation. During the citizen recognition portion of the meeting, Alton Beal, Mayor of Lattimore, evangelist and the President of Ambassador Baptist College, spoke against the project asking commissioners to reconsider their decision to support the project. “The love of money is the root of all evil,” he said. “Please consider the ramifications this project will have on Cleveland County. I know you don’t make the final decision, but your input is sought by those who will determine the fate of this project.”
Commissioner Johnny Hutchins of Kings Mountain said, "This project will mean a lot to the county, 2,000 to 3,000 jobs. The upside outweighs the downside tremendously. I want to go on record stating my support." Bill Harris, Chief of the Catawba Indian Nation was asked to speak by Chair Susan Allen. He said it was an honor to address the board, "You are in need and we are in need. We can partner to present this opportunity to the community. This project is beneficial to North Carolina, too. We are a state-recognized tribe, and we come to you as good neighbors. No one group comes out ahead here; we all benefit," he said. "We recognize there will be controversy ahead, but we are willing to have heart-toheart conversations with all those who have an issue." After the regular meeting, a closed session convened. At its conclusion, the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners announced that they have reached an agreement in principal with
Alton Beal, President of Ambassador Baptist College, asked County Commissioners to reconsider the decision to support the casino project.

the Catawba Indian Nation on the provision of County services to the proposed economic development project, should it move forward. The catalyst reviving this topic occurred last
week when Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced legislation on Wednesday, March 13 in Washington, D.C., allowing the Catawba Indian Nation to take land into trust to build a casino on Dixon School Road
near I-85 in Kings Mountain. The two co-sponsoring Senators with Graham are Thom Tillis and Richard Burr of North Carolina. In 2014, the Catawba Indian Nation applied for similar permission with the
Department of the Interior, but a decision on the legislation stalled with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Five years later, this new legislation now puts the decision in the hands of the United States Senate.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That’s success. –Zig Ziglar
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Cozart Part of the fun of writing about the history of COZART Kings Mountain is that I know readers will help me understand the things I can’t figure out. That was just the case last week. Melvin Ware shared in an email saying, “I remember the Home Savings & Loan (run by Mr. Patterson) being located on the southwest corner of Mountain and Cherokee Street, as I would sometimes go there with my dad to make a house payment. “I recall it being a narrow building with a counter on the right as you entered the door. Seems the outside was trimmed or covered with some type of shiny stone (marble or granite) that was different from other buildings.” I decided to review the photo of E. Mountain Street again and discovered I had made a mistake about the Home Savings and Loan being at 129 E. Mountain Street. Zooming
Signage along E. Mountain Street between 1938 and 1947. Blalock’s Grocery, E.W. Griffin’s Drug Store Photo courtesy the Kings Mountain Historical Museum in on the signage, I could see the sign for Blalock’s Grocery and E.W. Griffin’s Drug Store in the Hord Building. Next-door, was an obscured sign that was difficult to read. After looking closer, I could make out what
seemed to read Home Stores. It was then I remembered the Dixie Home Stores was on Mountain Street. Until that moment, I had no idea where it was located. Now I do. Beyond that, at 133 E. Mountain was the Western Auto Asso-
ciates Store. Now if I could only determine the exact year of that photo. I am sure I will eventually figure this out. But it won’t happen without the support of those who knew the town before I came to live here. Thanks
go to Melvin Ware, Major Loftin, Anita Campbell and countless others who help me. I am grateful for the assistance. If we don’t record this history, it will one day be lost. That is a shame. Keeping this history not only
preserves the story, but also helps those who come after us understand the story of the hard-working men and women who provided goods and services for our citizens. And their stories are an important part of our town’s history, too.
Lookin’ out my backdoor – mid March 2019 College admissions By Greta Reo-Cooper
Aren’t Carolina Wrens the most delightful little birds? They look more like mice or chipmunks with their lively, jerky movements, hopping on the ground, investigating everything with an attitude of bravery and maybe even a little bossiness.
They’re the cheeriest shade of cinnamon with that playful, upturned tail and white eyebrow. And what a sound comes out of the plump little things! They
sing noisily all year round and have one of the loudest songs per body volume of any bird. One morning about a week ago we noticed a pair of Carolina Wrens were at it again—that is, making the most ornate of nests in the most human of places: inside our carport on my husband’s hori-
zontally-hanging ladder. Late last summer a nest seemed to appear there out of nowhere in the same exact spot, yet was never inhabited. Both males and females participate in nest-building, and the result is an impressive dome-shaped abode with See BACKDOOR Page 7A

The East Gold Street Gate to Mountain Rest Cemetery was dedicated with special rites 66 years ago on Sunday, April 2, 1953. Rev. L.P. Shore of Central United Methodist Church spoke on the importance of the cemetery to the community. Mayor Garland Still thanked superintendent Sam R. Suber for making the cemetery “the most beautiful in North Carolina.” Mr. Suber, Mayor Still and city council members gathered at the gate to cut the ribbon. Photo provided

■ MEDITATION
Darkness vs. Light “In the beginning was the Word (logos). And the Word was with God (theos). And the logos was theos. The Roger R. same was in the beginning Woodard, ThD. Senior Pastor with God. Family Worship All things Center were made by Him: and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life: and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness: and the darkness comprehended it not” (Jn. 1:1-5). Note the similarity to Genesis 1:1-3,
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved….” The darkness was/ is and the light came. Thus the battle was on and has waged since that day. Light has not expelled the darkness (yet), BUT NEITHER HAS THE DARKNESS EXTINGUISHED LIGHT!!! That’s what we are watching played out in our nation and worldwide today. The War between light and darkness. That darkness is “gross darkness” (Isa. 60:2). Christ warned (Lk. 11: 34), “Take heed that the light that is in you be not darkness”. When asked when shall the prophecy of the destruction of the Temple, and
what would be sign of His coming, AND the end of the world (Matt. 24:1-3)? The first words out of His mouth were “Take heed that no man deceive you”. (vs. 4). In Matthew 24 Jesus three times warns of deception in the run up to His coming. This is not a deception of the little petty things denominations and petty, pastors, who think they must be competitive with area pastors about, lest they lose members to another flock. This deception is so diabolical, if possible, it can bring damnation to the very elect of God (Matt. 24: 24). There is a demonic hatred unleashed in the world and all across the U.S.A. against anything Conservative or Christian. No standard or institution is too sacred not to be torn
down. • Traditional Marriage destroyed in favor man with man, woman with woman, multiple partners, computers or goat. Anything we want to define as marriage must be accepted. • Transgender Military. • Nine year olds allowed to decide that they want to be another sex, so surgery is performed to make a boy a girl or vice versa. It’s a new normal and shut your mouth thank you. • Kill a child if it survives an abortion. Take its body parts to sell, or experiment on mice. • The lunacy of opening our borders to over 25 million immigrants, and last month 85.5 thousand illegals crossed our borders unchecked, and we have to be o.k. with that or we are xenophobic. • Don’t speak of Christ in the schools, or public arenas,
but Islam, Krishna, Confucious, Shamanism or any other ism is just fine. Just don’t promote the foundation of America, CHRISTIANITY. And we Christians must step back and let our kids be indoctrinated. Most are obliging this lunacy. Obviously, I could go on, but space is limited. I thank the Herald’s staff for allowing leeway in exceeding the requested amount of words. So I end with this. We await two events in this War between Light and Darkness, which are of gargantuan importance. The return of Jesus Christ (Heb. 9: 28), and the revelation of anti-christ (II Thess. 2: 3-4). You cannot prevent these two events, but you can be prepared. Get on the side of light as revealed in God’s Word, The Bible, and stay there.

A Blessing of Hands The staff at Summit Place of Kings Mountain make quite a difference in the lives of residents, families, and the community. It can be difficult to accept that a loved one can no longer remain at home. Family members struggle with finding the right place and the right people to provide care and compassion. Summit Place of Kings Mountain is a warm and welcoming senior living community offering spacious assisted living apartments and short respite stays – all in one comfortable, secure, beautifully landscaped location. Services and amenities include restaurant-style dining, a full slate of social and recreational activities, regular outings, library, games room, wireless Internet, fitness and wellness programs, in-house salon/barber shop, transportation, laundry, and housekeeping. Five Star’s award-winning Bridge to Rediscovery program for people with Alzheimer’s or related dementias is also offered. The most important service, however, is the highly skilled round-the-clock staff who provide care and support to residents, easing the stress on family members. Their lives, their careers, the work of their hands – all make a difference. Hospice Cleveland County was honored to provide A Blessing of Hands at Summit Place on Wednesday, February 27th. This beautiful ceremony begins with a time of reflection led by hospice chaplains and ends with each staff member’s hands individually cleansed and blessed. Simple, yet, it has a powerful impact on each participant. It’s a reminder of their importance. “Our hands represent the many kinds of work that we do in caring for others in our community. This is our way of showing appreciation for the work that the Summit Place staff members do every day,” said Rachel Hill, VP of Homecare Services, Hospice Cleveland County. Hospice Cleveland County serves individuals in Cleveland, Gaston, and Lincoln counties; in homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, Wendover Hospice House in Shelby, and Testa Family Hospice House in Kings Mountain. We are honored to work alongside the caring staff at Summit Place.

Confirmed case of mumps in Cleveland County Cleveland County Public Health Center reinforces the importance of vaccination On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, the Cleveland County Public Health Center received confirmation of a case of mumps in Cleveland County. This is the first confirmed case of mumps in Cleveland County since 2011. The Cleveland County Public Health Center is working closely with the individual and family to monitor for additional cases through the end of April 2019. As a preventive/protective measure, the Cleveland County Public Health Center encourages you to ensure that you and your children are current on the mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. What is mumps? Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus. Mumps symptoms include swollen glands under the ears or jaw, fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and loss of appetite. Some people do not have any symptoms. Others may feel sick but will not have swollen glands. How does mumps spread? Mumps is spread through respiratory droplets (created
when you cough and sneeze) and saliva. Sharing cups and utensils may also spread the virus. The time from being infected with the virus to developing symptoms can be as long as 25 days, but is typically 14-18 days. People with mumps are infectious two days before to five days after the onset of swollen glands. Infected people without symptoms of mumps may still be able to transmit the virus. The MMR vaccine is the best way to protect against the mumps. Children usually receive the first mumps, measles, and rubella vaccine (MMR) at 12-15 months of age and the second dose at 4-6 years of age. MMR vaccine is not recommended for children under one year old. Adults who have not had two doses of MMR vaccine can receive the vaccine. However, pregnant women or people that are immunocompromised should not receive the MMR vaccine. If you are unsure of your/your child’s vaccination status or if your child has not received the vaccine or has only received one dose, consult your healthcare provider. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even though the MMR vaccine has drastically reduced mumps cases,

starts grading papers at Yale for the kid who got accepted based on falsified information but can’t write a paper or read “See Spot run?” Is someone going to keep the money flowing for the student to receive passing grades? What happens when the student is passed through graduation? How long will he or she remain employed? Being a celebrity and having big money will obviously get you somewhere. Falsifying information and bribing people may move you further along the way. Eventually the way is a dead end, if not a fast track to jail.

outbreaks still occur. Outbreaks have most commonly occurred among groups of people who have prolonged, close contact, such as sharing water bottles or cups, kissing, practicing sports together, or living in close quarters with a person who has mumps. Some vaccinated people may still get mumps if they are exposed to the virus. However, disease symptoms are milder in vaccinated people. From January 1 to February 28, 2019, 30 states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. reported mumps infections in 151 people to CDC. According to the NC Department of Health and Human Services Communicable Disease Branch, there were a total of 12 cases of mumps (3 confirmed and 9 probable) in NC in 2018. If you or your child experience mumps symptoms, please do not go to work, school, or to public places. Contact your doctor’s office before going to the clinic. Tell them you or your child may have mumps. They may give you special instructions to help prevent spreading mumps to other people. For questions or additional information on mumps or the MMR vaccine, you may contact the Cleveland County Public Health Center at 980-484-5100.

Our resident wrens seem to prefer nest-building in the morning, always adding something here and there, disappearing for the rest of the day. Their nest is an exciting little first-taste of spring—a season we have yet to experience here in North Carolina.

The Gospelaires concert at Westover Baptist
Last May, before we made the move south, our neighbor in Massachusetts glumly declared “I hate the spring.” It was Memorial Day, and I looked out the window at steady rain. It was so cold that our would-be barbeque was forced indoors, a dreary location for the unofficial beginning of summer. And she was right: Spring in New England was cruel, maybe even crueler than the winter, but in a different way. After enduring snowstorm after snowstorm and months of freezing tempera-
tures, spring brought with it the promise of sunshine, warmth, and being outside. Yet year after year it proved to be a cold muddy mess. But here in Kings Mountain the landscape is exploding in blossoming trees. First were the Bradford Pear trees, bright white and cloud-like against smudgy grey surrounds, then the saucer Magnolias, with their pink or fuchsia cup-shaped flowers. A walk through the neighborhood with our toddler is a feast for the eyes: the delicate pastel-pink flowers of cherry trees, sunshine-yellow forsythia, and trees we’ve never seen before. These walks also give us ideas of what to plant in our new yard.

My mother, a northern gardener, is like a kid in a candy store at local nurseries and garden centers. She’s been holed up all winter surrounded by piles of plant books and magazines, learning what will grow here and what won’t, and making a list that seems to change daily. On a recent trip to a local nursery, she filled her trunk with gardenia bushes, hydrangeas and azaleas, and has been up at the crack of dawn every day filling in our empty garden. Our toddler looks forward to helping Mimi water the plants every day, and has her own little rake to help maintain the garden. To be outside at all in March is a joy. I catch my mom, early in the morning, standing at the back door looking out over the garden, admiring her work thus far. She’s already wearing her rubber clogs and wide-brimmed hat, coffee in one hand and gardening gloves in the other. The wrens fly back and forth from the patio into the carport, putting the finishing touches on their new home. The door creaks open and out goes my mom, because a garden, like anything alive and invaluable, is always a work in progress.

CVG announces production milestone for KM facility Commercial Vehicle Group (CVG) celebrated a plant milestone on March 1 by producing their 500,000th C Series Cab. CVG’s Kings Mountain facility, which employs 184 people, manufactures sheet metal cab structures for the commercial vehicle industry using a variety of production processes including spot welding, MIG welding, assembly, sealing adhesive application, and E-Coat. “The Kings Mountain facility, and the customers and employees it supports, is an important part of our global manufacturing network,” said Dale McKillop, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Trim, Wipers and Structures. “I am thrilled to celebrate this milestone achievement with the team and look forward to marking additional production milestones in the future.” Kings Mountain employees, along with company officials and community leaders, gathered in the facility last Friday to celebrate the production milestone.
The event included lunch, a formal unveiling of the cab, and an opportunity for the employees to permanently affix their name or initials on the cab. Plant Manager Shelby Evans offered his congratulations to the facility. “I am proud of the entire Kings Mountain team for this production milestone. The finished cab will be displayed at our Kings Mountain facility as a reminder of this legacy achievement and our ongoing commitment to quality products and service.” “While 500,000 may seem small to companies that mass produce items, this has been an effort of love and hard work to achieve this milestone,” Steve Thomas, Human Resources Manager for CVG shared. “CVG’s Kings Mountain Plant employs a variety of processes and has employed numerous employees in this 30-plus year industry. The good news; we have just begun. We look forward to producing 1,000,000 cabs and employing more great people from the surrounding communities.”

Crowders Mountain State Park prescribed multiple burns through month of April Some plant communities and animal species rely on periodic fire for their existence. The prescribed burns also reduce the amount of potential wildfire fuel and help protect a park's resources and neighboring landowners if lightning, arson, or carelessness sparks a wildfire. In order to minimize smoke and assure the fire is controlled, the prescribed burn will only be carried out under strictly defined weather conditions of a fire management plan. On the selected day, the burn will begin in the late morning and will likely end by mid-afternoon
The NC Division of Parks and Recreation plans to conduct multiple prescribed burns at Crowders Mountain State Park from early March through April. According to Park Superintendent Glen George, the specific dates of the burns will depend on local weather conditions. The prescribed burns will be conducted in sections totaling approximately 200 to 600 acres at the park's Sparrow Springs Access Area. Some visitor areas and trails may be temporarily closed during prescribed burns. Prescribed burns are used as a resource management tool in many locations by the state parks system.

Gas prices continue to rise in the Carolinas Gas prices have gone up another nickel on the week across the Carolinas and most motorists are paying more at the pump than they were this time last year. North Carolina’s $2.46 average is up five cents on the week, 19 cents on the month and is two cents more than this time last year. South Carolina’s $2.33 average is also up five cents on the week, 11 cents on the month and mo-
torists are paying a penny more to fill up than they were this time last year.” “Since early February, gasoline demand has been steadily increasing while stocks have been gradually decreasing causing more expensive pump prices across the country,” said Tiffany Wright, AAA Carolinas spokesperson. “This week, we officially passed last year’s prices.”

Former KMHS, East Tennessee standout Frank Hopper going into KM Hall of Fame (The Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame banquet and ceremony is Sat., May 11 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 each and available at Kings Mountain High School, Paul Ingram’s Barber Shop downtown, and from members of the Hall of Fame committee). Most sports fans didn’t know that when Frank Hopper was playing defensive tackle for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers in the late 1990s and East Tennessee State University in the early 2000s that he wore glasses, except on the playing field. Still, he was one of the leading tacklers for the Western NC champion Mountaineers in 1998 and at East Tennessee for two years before a concussion ended his football career. Hopper will become the fifth member of Ron Massey’s 1998 championship team to be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame at its annual ceremony May 11 at Central United Methodist Church. Previous inductees were Kendrick Bell, Kareem Marshall, Julius Curry and Anthony Hillman. Four of those five – Hopper, Marshall, Curry and Bell – came to KMHS from Grover Elementary School and they learned their trade early in P.E. classes under Dave Farquharson, who was the offensive line coach on the championship ’98 team. “The guys I played with are still very close to this day,” said Hopper, who now is the defensive line coach at David Crockett High School in Jonesboro, TN, where his son Dominic is one of his players. “I didn’t think I would ever be the player that I was,” he says. “But we always put in a lot of hard work and made each other better.” As a senior at KMHS, Hopper had one of the best seasons ever for a defensive tackle. He had 118
Frank Hopper during his senior year of 1998 at Kings Mountain High School. solo tackles, including 23 for loss, and 15 sacks, the latter a school record. He went on to East Tennessee and started as a freshman and sophomore before a concussion ended his career. As a freshman he played in all 11 games and finished with 35 tackles and 2.5 sacks; and in 2001 played in 10 games and had 16 tackles not knowing at the time that he had a concussion. “I came home for a weekend and was asleep and my mom woke me up,” he recalled. “I don’t remember anything about it. I took two steps and passed out. She tried to wake me up. She took me to the hospital and the doctor came in and said ‘you have a concussion. Your football career is over.’” Hopper now lives in Jonesboro, TN, where he coached middle school football for two years before joining the staff at Crockett High. He works for the VA Health Care in Jonesboro. “We had a real good season this past season,” he noted. “We won the conference and were 12-1 overall, losing in the third round of the state playoffs.” Hopper still calls Grover his home, though, and has great memories of his days there and at KMHS. “I actually got interested in football at Grover
Elementary School,” he noted. “Coach Farquharson would work with me, Julius Curry, Rico Feemster and Kareem Marshall. Originally I wanted to play offensive line. When I got to Kings Mountain High School they had me focus on defense. It played out pretty good for me.” He credits Coach Massey for bringing out the best in him, and others. “He was a great coach,” Hopper said. “He had a passion for the game.” Although the Mountaineers fell in the state championship game his senior year, Hopper said one of his greatest memories was beating Kannapolis in the third round of the ’98 state playoffs. “Our junior year we turned the program around,” he noted. “Our motto our senior year was unfinished business. We made it to the fourth round of the state playoffs my junior year and lost to Kannapolis. We wanted to play them again. We did the next year. We beat them in the third round. “I don’t think we knew at the time how good we could really be,” Hopper added. “But that summer we worked very hard and everything started to click. I credit Coach Massey and Coach (Aubrey) Hollifield. They believed in me more than I believed in myself.” After whipping Concord at Gamble Stadium for the Western Regional championship, the Mountaineers moved on to UNC’s Keenan Stadium where they were on the verge of winning the state championship before Winston-Salem Carver scored in the final minutes to win. “I think about that state championship all the time,” Hopper said “I don’t think there was any one thing that beat us. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be. “We were ahead at halftime and I remember going to the locker room and hearing them (Carver) cussing each other. It just didn’t work out for us. It would have a lot cooler if
Frank Hopper and son Dominic, who is a defensive lineman at Jonesboro’s David Crockett High School where is father is defensive line coach. we had a ring.” Hopper is now hoping he can help his son and his teammates make it to the Tennessee state championship game, and win. “We came close this year,” he noted. “We were real talented. Maybe we’ll get one this year.” Hopper looks forward to joining some of his former teammates, and others, in the Kings Mountain Hall of Fame. “Honestly, when they called me I didn’t expect it,” he said. “I knew I was a good player. I remember when I was growing up I’d say to myself ‘maybe I’ll be there someday.’ It’s a great feeling.” Frank Hopper talks to one of his defensive lineman during Crockett High School game.

Harry scores golf ace
Mountaineers hand Bulldogs first BS loss

Kings Mountain Middle’s tennis team knocked off Crest 5-4 Wednesday to even their record to 3-3 after starting the season 0-3. The Patriots nailed down the win by winning two of the three doubles matches after the two teams split the singles events 3-3. Adam Guy made his first start at #1 but lost 8-3. He has been battling a sore ankle and feet. Hannah McCall lost a hotly-contested #2 match, 9-8 (8-7). Lillian Lutz took the #3 match 8-4, pulling away against another athletic opponent. Abigail Latham lost another close match, 8-6 at #4 where a point at any time could have made the difference. Tony Latham won a marathon at #5, 9-8 (16-14). “Tony got down early and his opponent was up 7-4,” noted Coach David McDonald. “Tony kept fighting. To get back into the match, his mentality was to win one point at a time, and one game at a time. Tony finally pushed the match to a tie-breaker. “In the tie-breaker both players went back and forth. An exhausted Tony won.” Railey Bolt won 8-5 at #6, avenging an earlier loss to her opponent. She got down early
Boone Cartee doubled and scored on a passed ball in the top of the ninth inning to lift Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers over previously undefeated Burns 5-4 in a Big South 3A Conference game last week at Burns. The victory, along with a Crest win over previously unbeaten North Gaston, created a three-way tie for second place behind the undefeated Chargers. The Mountaineers had the Bulldogs down 3-0 after two innings and 4-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh when the hosts tallied a pair to tie the game at 4-all and force extra innings. Cartee’s double was the only extra base hit in the Mountaineers’ 11-hit attack. David Bell and John Harmon Melton had two hits apiece and Cartee, Blake Broome, Cameron Stevens, Joe Ruffalo, Bryce Fisher, Zach Crawford and Silas Price added a hit apiece. Bell, Stevens and Fisher
BOONE CARTEE each drove in a run. Ruffalo came in to pitch the seventh and eighth innings and got the win. He struck out four. Justin Cooke pitched the ninth and earned a save, striking out two. Fisher started for the Mountaineers and worked six innings. He scattered five hits and struck out eight.

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers went out of conference Wednesday and swept the Blacksburg Wildcats in Blacksburg. The varsity held off a late Blacksburg rally to win 8-6 after the JVs routed the Wildcats 15-3 in a four-inning contest called on the mercy rule. The varsity Mountaineers scored three runs in the top of the first inning and were never headed. KM led 4-2 after two innings and 8-2 going into the bottom of the seventh. Justin Cooke pitched four innings to get the win. He scattered four hits and struck out four. Seth Kennedy worked 2 2/3 innings, giving up three hits and four runs. Zach Crawford pitched one inning and didn’t allow a hit. The Mountaineers rapped 11 hits with Crawford going 3-for-4, and Bryce Fisher and Blake Broome added two hits
each. Broome had a double and three runs batted in, and Fisher slammed a home run and drove in a pair. Boone Cartee had an RBI double and Joe Ruffalo added an RBI single. Cameron Stevens and Silas Price also had singles. The JV Mountaineers scored four runs in each of the first three innings and added three in the top of the fourth. The Mountaineers were led by Peyton Fisher with 4-for-4 with four runs scored and an RBI. Trey Crawford, Jaxson Bolin, Jeremiah Hughes, Chris Ruffalo, George Long, Charlie Melton and Devin Pressley added a hit apiece.

KMMS netters dominate Shelby Kings Mountain Middle’s tennis team won its second straight match last Tuesday, beating Shelby 8-1. Hannah McCall lost a tough match at #1, 8-5. The match was tied at 5-all but Shelby’s player hit some good shots down the stretch to take the win. “I believe Hannah was tired carrying all the gold medals she and her sister won over the weekend at the Science Olympiad,” noted Coach David McDonald.
KM wrapped up the win by taking the other five singles matches and all three doubles. Lillian Lutz won 8-3, Tony Latham 8-4, Abigail Latham 8-0, Railey Bolt 8-1 and Melissa Brooks 8-0. “Seeds two through six made it look easy,” Coach McDonald said. “All of them played well and did not give the competition a chance to make it a competitive match.” In doubles, Adam Guy and Tony Latham won 8-3,
Abigail Latham and Lillian Lutz won 8-2 and Callie Stimpson and Karisa Waldt won 8-0. “All of the doubles matches, we won convincingly,” McDonald said. “The biggest positive was how each team communicated. They truly worked well together, encouraging one another. Hitting a lot of good tennis shots assisted in the easy wins.” Kings Mountain was scheduled to play its final home match Monday against RS Central.
Kings Mountain had to overcome a 4-3 deficit after three innings to defeat Forestview 12-5 in a Big South 3A Conference baseball game Friday night in Gastonia. The Mountaineers grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning but the Jaguars battled back with two in the first and two more in the third to take a 4-3 lead into the fifth inning. Kings Mountain made it no contest after that, scoring three runs in each of the last three innings to win going away. The Jaguars did their early damage off KM senior John Harmon Melton, despite getting only two hits off him. Seth Kennedy came on in the third to pitch one-hit ball over the next 2 1/3 innings to get the win.
Zach Crawford pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, giving up just one hit. Meanwhile, the KM bats came alive. Melton led the way at the plate with 3-for-4 including two runs and two RBI. Joe Ruffalo was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs batted in. Bryce Fisher had a hit and two RBI, and Crawford had an RBI double. Blake Broome had a hit and scored four runs and Cartee had a hit and RBI. Once again, base stealing was a big key for the Mountaineers. They swiped 10 bases with Silas Price, Cameron Stevens, Melton and David Bell getting two apiece and Cartee and Broome one each.

CCC announces first Athletic Director JV Mountaineers
CCC approved to start athletics On Tuesday, March 12, 2019 the Cleveland Community College Board of Trustees approved a proposal for CCC to begin athletics and join the National Junior College Athletic Association. “We are excited to announce this approval by our Board. I have worked at other colleges that offer athletics, and I have seen the positive effects they have on a college campus,” said Dr. Jason Hurst, president of CCC. “Cheering for a sports team creates a strong sense of community on campus. Students have a common activity to rally around, and our community has another reason to come on campus.” CCC plans to compete in both men’s and women’s cross country, beginning this fall. With the Board’s approval now in place, Hurst and CCC staff will immediately begin the process of naming an Athletic Director, hiring a running coach and recruiting student athletes for the team. The next phase of the plan
will form a women’s softball team with the goal of beginning play in spring 2020, followed by men’s baseball in spring 2021. The College is already in the process of choosing a mascot. This was in process at the request of the Student Government Association before plans to offer athletics were discussed. Students, staff and faculty are participating in a survey process to narrow down a list of suggested mascots to a top three. At that point, students, staff, faculty and the public will be asked to vote for their favorite. This process has already generated some excitement on campus with survey participation being much higher than is typical. “If you attend a high school athletic event in Cleveland County, it is evident that this area loves athletics,” said Hurst. “We look forward to sports fans extending their loyalty and support to CCC’s teams.”
Help CCC choose mascot Cleveland Community College invites the community to help them choose a mascot. A Facebook poll on the Cleveland Community College Facebook page is
now open and will remain open through March 31. Three choices are offered, Yeti (Knobby), Cardinals, and Cougars. Everyone is invited to vote for their favorite.
Hannah McCall was incorrectly listed as Hannah McGill in last week’s KMMS tennis story.
Whether you are on the water or in the woods, if fish or game is involved, so is scouting. Just because your boat is in the GARY MILLER water, doesn’t mean all you have to do is drop a line in order to catch fish. The same goes for the woods. It doesn’t matter what game you are after, just surrounding yourself with trees will not guarantee any success. And then there are the signs that give proof that fish or game have been there before. This is especially evident in hunting. Game trails run throughout the woods. These paths are proof positive that some or perhaps many types of critters are moving throughout the area you are in. But again, these signs do not guarantee a successful place to hunt. I can remember the early years of deer hunting being so excited about these trails only to realize that I knew nothing about what was using them or when they might be using them. This was of course before trail cameras. I can also remember the days when I would unload a boat and immediately begin to fish the first place that looked “fishy.” It didn’t take me long to realize fish live in the entire lake, so it all looks fishy. Again, the signs were no assurance I would have an encounter with the bass I came after. Now it is true the more signs one has, the greater the opportunity. This goes for fishing or hunting, and yet we have all been in the perfect place only to leave empty handed. Sometimes the barometric pressure is not right. Sometimes the wind is not right. And sometimes the water is too high or too muddy. Signs are a great thing to use but signs are not what we are hunting or fishing for. They simply point to the real thing. This fact is especially true when it comes to creation. If you have read one of my columns for any period of time, you know I am continually showing you how creation points to a Creator and how creation gives us a great opportunity to worship this Creator. But please don’t miss the point. Creation is only a sign of the true God, not a god itself. For if creation keeps you away from being the follower of Christ that you are meant to be, then it has become an idol you have used to replace the one and only God. So, ask yourself this question as you continue to pursue your passion in the outdoors: Are the signs I see from nature making me want to become a better follower of Christ? Or are they replacing that desire? Only you know the real answer and only you can change it. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org
out the scoring. Charlie Melton scattered seven hits over five innings to get the win. Devin Pressley came on in the sixth and gave up two runs but buckled down to stop the Bulldogs’ rally. Jaxson Bolin led the Mountaineers at the plate with 3-for-4 and one RBI. AJ Wylie had two hits and Trey Crawford, Chris Ruffalo, Melton and Pressley added one apiece.

between colleges that offer sports, and colleges that do not, as it pertains to enrollment, marketing and fundraising. In speaking of his excitement at being named to the position, and getting the program started, he had a message for students, staff, faculty and the community. “The athletic department cannot do this alone, we need all of you to help spread the word,” said Nanney. “When a student or parent learns that we have a new opportunity here in Cleveland County it may open a door for that student to come here and compete.” The CCC Board of Trustees, at their March meeting, voted unanimously to begin athletics at CCC. After receiving approval, the College formally requested to join the National Junior College Athletic Association. As a member, CCC will be part of Region X and compete against teams from across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

of our students, both on and off the field remains our top priority. I believe we found that person in Dr. Chris Nanney.” Nanney has worked at the College for more than 25 years. Currently, he serves as the Dean of College and Career Readiness, the College’s program to help people earn their high school diploma or high school equivalency certificate. He will continue to serve in that capacity as he takes on the additional responsibilities of athletic director. “This has been a long time coming. . .,” said Nanney. “I have wanted to have an athletic program here at CCC for more than 20 years. I also hoped that if we ever got athletics, I would be the athletic director, so this is a dream come true.” Nanney has a passion for sports. While working toward his doctorate degree, he wrote his dissertation on athletics and looking at the differences

On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, Dr. Jason Hurst, president of Cleveland Community College, announced Dr. Chris Nanney will serve as the College’s first athletic director. “This is an exciting day in the life of NANNEY our College,” said Hurst. In looking for the person to serve as the first athletic director, Hurst said he spent months thinking about who the right person would be. “I want someone who shares CCC’s vision and values; who believes in the mission of this institution; a person who knows athletics is a student-first program. I’m looking for the person who knows that success

Grover Elementary places first in eBOB Competition By Angel McCray Grover Elementary recently earned first place in the CCS Elementary Battle of the Books (eBOB). These eleven 4th grade team members read 15 novels which were selected by the NC School Library Media Association committee. Coaches at each participating elementary school gather a team, read books and do comprehension skill activity assignments to better understand each book. During the competition, there are nine total rounds and students compete in each round. Each question starts with “In which book”, details are given
and students must be able to identify the book, author and answer the question with the book’s title. Three points are awarded for correct title and author answers. Students have no idea what book will come up in their round so they must be knowledgeable of all novels read. Winners are identified through cumulative points. Throughout the school year, the eBOB team met weekly and after school during the month of February to practice. Mrs. Kim Duckworth, Media Specialist at Grover Elementary, is the eBOB coach and works with the students each year. “This program and competition
Grover Elementary’s eBOB team won first place during their recent competition. Front row seated L-R: A'zarrianna Hosch, Taylor Lovelace, Skye Trombetta, Gracielynn Calderon. Back row, standing (l-r): Whitney Wilson, Aniya Hunt, Camari Brown, Lucian Parker, Bryanna Ellis, Emma Whitener, Alijah Hall, Coach Kim Duckworth. Photo provided by Angel McCRay introduces readers to new authors and novels. It increases their awareness of different genres and promotes literacy. Win or lose, it provides an outlet
for students to talk about what they love, reading and books!” Students at Grover welcomed home their winners with an exciting celebra-
tion when the eBOB team returned to school. “I am very proud of our eBOB team”, said Mrs. Linda King, Principal at Grover. “They have worked hard
with Mrs. Duckworth to prepare for the district eBOB competition. They have represented our school very well!”
West Elementary School - Leprechaun Traps By Nikki Nolen
The kindergartners at West Elementary School were determined to catch a leprechaun on St. Patrick’s Day. The planning process took several days to complete. On the first day, kindergartners worked together in small groups and created blueprints for their traps. They discussed and drew out the plans they would use. On the second day, they made a list of supplies they would need to complete the traps. They used supplies from home and their classrooms. On the third day, the students made decorations and were challenged with making a sign to persuade the leprechaun to enter their traps. On Friday afternoon, with their traps set and loaded with ‘gold’ (chocolate) coins, the students left school hoping that when they came back to school they would have a leprechaun in one of their traps. When the kindergarteners returned Monday morning, they found a giant mess with tables and chairs tipped over and tiny green footprints everywhere. Sadly, they did not catch a leprechaun but at least there were some ‘gold’ treasures left behind. Maybe next year’s kindergarteners will have better luck!

But first, what is an educational forest? The North Carolina Forest Service operates a system of Educational State Forests (ESFs) designed to teach the public - especially school children - about the forest environment. Each forest features selfguided trails that include exhibits, tree identification signs, a forest education center and a talking tree trail. Specially trained rangers are available to conduct classes for school and other youth groups. Teachers or group leaders choose from a selection of 30-minute programs that cover all aspects of the forest environment - from soil, water and wildlife to timber and forest management. North Carolina's Educational State Forests offer a variety of classes compatible with teaching objectives listed in the N.C. Department of Education science curriculum. State forests and state parks both offer outdoors experiences, but of different types. State forests are managed for multiple resources including wood products and wildlife habitat, hunting may be allowed in some circumstances, and recreational opportunities vary between forests. On the other hand, state parks focus on preservation, with minimal manipulation of natural systems, hunting is not allowed, and offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities. Also, state forests are focused on education rather than recreation. Currently, there are six educational forests operating across our state. These include Clemmons, Holmes, Jordan lake, Rendevous Mtn., Turnbull Creek, and Tuttle. When it reaches its operational status in a few years, Mt. Island will join those ranks. The Mt. Island story goes back to 1998 when Gaston County, Lincoln County, and the City of Gastonia pooled resources to give the NC Forest Service a lease on nearly 2,000 acres of prime property near Mt. Island Lake. The land was owned by Duke Energy's forestry and real estate arm, Crescent Resources. Laura Shidal, Mt. Island's forest supervisor, had this to say about the deal. “The land is perpetually conserved,” she said.
“There will be no housing developments.” Currently, Mt. Island is in a relatively early stage of its path to becoming a fully functioning state educational forest. The site has an office and maintenance facility, various fields and sections of the large forest are being managed and small groups of interested organizations are allowed access with prearranged permission. Right now, the place is not open to the general public. “We hope to be open to the general public within five years,” Shidal said. Things are definitely moving in that direction. Last October, ground was broken in the woods for a 6,000sq. ft. education center. Completion of that project could take a couple of years. Architecture of the education center will resemble the one at Crowders Mtn. State Park. “The center will have two classrooms for education as well as exhibits showing the plants and animals that live here,” Shidal said.”Classes will be on topics such as tree growth, North Carolina wildlife, soil quality, and water quality.” Mt. Island will also have other forest education-related features as well. “There will be a half mile loop with 'talking trees',” said Shidal. “Those will be audio recording devices placed on trees along the trail. When you push a button, the recording will play an explanation of what type of tree it is in the tree's 'voice'.” Again, education is the focus. “This is a managed forest,” Shidal said. “Not a park or a preserve. Recreation is a by product of what we do.” For now, groups of ten or more interested parties can visit Mt. Island- but only by appointment and when Sidal has time. For more information on Mt. Island Educational Forest in particular, contact Shidal at 704-813-356. For more information on the NC Educational Forest system visit https://www. ncesf.org/.
