Kings Mountain in general – and young people in particular – lost one of their biggest supporters last week when Mearl Valentine died at the age of 81. From the time he played his first football game when midget football was organized here in the late 1940s, Mearl lived his life devoted to his town, sports, church and Kings Mountain High School. Whether it was playing on the youth and high school levels and even in adult recreation leagues, coaching youth sports, serving on the city recreation committee, or volunteering for well over 50 years as a spotter in the press box at Mountaineer football games, Mearl was a permanent fixture. He wasn’t all football, though. Until just a little while before his death he would be at every home basketball game. His grandchildren, Mary and Daniel Asgari, played for the Mountaineers and after his playing days were over Daniel would accompany Mearl to the basketball and football games. Mearl had to give up his football press box duties prior to last season because of his health. Daniel is now spotting for the PA announcer. Mearl would still be at every home game, though. Someone would meet him in the parking lot and drive him to the press box in a golf cart. It was so fitting that at
MEARL VALENTINE halftime of a game last fall, the Kings Mountain Hall of Fame and the Mountaineer Club honored Mearl and Jake Dixon for their service to the school. Combined, they gave well over a hundred years up top with their only pay an occasional Mountaineer hat or jacket. As Jake says, their salary was tripled every year but they got to where they just couldn’t count all those zeroes. No one will ever know the impact Mearl had on so many lives. He was not one to toot his own horn but when something needed to be done he would be the first to lend a hand. He’s the type that would bring a load of watermelons to football practice so the players could get refreshed after a hot practice session, or join with others to burn off a drenched infield so the Mountaineers could play, and win, a state championship baseball game in front of their home crowd. I first met Mearl in the See MEARL, Page 7A

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. –Mark 16:4-6 We are a church committed to spreading the Gospel (the good news of Jesus Christ) as directed through His Word, the Holy Bible.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.
–Milton Berle
Preserve SHIIP funding for senior citizens An effort is underway in Congress to eliminate $47 million that goes to programs like North MIKE CAUSEY Carolina’s NC Commissioner Seniors Of Insurance Health Insurance Information Program. Such an effort fits the old adage of being penny wise and pound foolish. North Carolina’s SHIIP office gets about $1.4 million a year from the federal government, making up about 65 percent of the program’s budget. The remaining 35 percent comes from state sources. The SHIIP program saved $60 million for the state’s se-
nior citizens last year alone. These are actual dollars that we can account for, not some number pulled from thin air. The program saved seniors more money in North Carolina alone than the cost of the program nationwide. We save senior citizens money by sitting down with senior citizens one-on-one, or talking to them individually by phone, and help them decide which prescription coverage plan is right for them, or which supplemental plan will save them the most money. SHIIP trains 960 volunteers across the state’s 100 counties. Those volunteers, along with our dedicated staff in Raleigh, counseled more than 102,000 Medicare beneficia-
ries across the state last year. In addition, SHIIP served almost 17,000 Medicare beneficiaries with disabilities. It counseled more than 28,000 people with incomes below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. Medicare is confusing. There’s Medicare Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. Then there are Medicare supplement plans. There are a lot of companies out there vying for senior citizens’ health care premium dollars. This can leave many seniors on fixed incomes wondering what they should do. SHIIP provides unbiased information to help clear up this confusion, allowing them to decide for themselves which plan works best for
them. It only makes sense that the federal government, which created this complicated system, would continue to pay for a proven program that helps senior citizens make sense of that same system. The people in Washington pushing to eliminate SHIIP funding say the program is duplicative. In reality, it isn’t. Sure, the federal government operates a 1-800-MEDICARE call line which seeks to answer citizens’ questions about the federal health program. However, if consumers’ calls get too detailed or complicated, the federal call center usually refers the consumer back to state SHIIP programs for answers to their questions.
If Congress eliminates SHIIP funding, the calls to the federal call line would likely quadruple. The federal government would most likely have to increase its staff to handle the cost, most likely wiping out any savings associated with ending the program. I encourage North Carolinians to reach out to their U.S. senators and members of Congress and encourage them to preserve SHIIP funding. SHIIP is a program that pays for itself many times over and shouldn’t be eliminated. (Mike Causey is North Carolina’s Commissioner of Insurance.)
Beware of scammers Frazier’s lovely language Easter Prayers In asking for personal worth the wait America - We Need It information By Paul Castrodale Medicare cards are undergoing a big change to make them more secure by removing the social security numbers from each card and instead, using a Medicare Beneficiary Identifier. New cards will begin mailing in April, but in the meantime scammers are taking advantage of confusion around the launch. How does the Scam work? You receive a call from a person claiming to work with Medicare. They are allegedly calling about the new Medicare cards, which will be mailed this
spring. The cards will be more secure because they use a “Medicare Beneficiary Identifier” instead of a Social Security number. The scammer claims that there’s a problem with your card. The con artist may say your new card was lost or someone tried to use your ID number. To resolve the situation, the scammer just needs your Social Security number. In another version, the scammer claims you must pay money to receive your new Medicare card. They may ask you for payment information, so they can See SCAMMERS, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION
Writer’s Block! Do you ever have it? Writers Block? Do you ever have the problem of knowing that you want to say someJAMES thing, but LOCHRIDGE, JR. 29G, Kamay, you’re Noord, Aruba just not sure how to phrase what you want to say? You see something you feel needs to be addressed for the sake of an individual or the community or maybe even for your own sake. But you don’t want to offend and you hope that whatever you say will be taken in the right spirit, but will it? Are you the
one who needs to say something or should you leave it to someone else? Or maybe you just don’t know what to say period. People are expecting you to spout words of wisdom and encouragement, but you can’t seem to come up with what you think they want to hear or something that will indeed add to the conversation and benefit the listener or reader in some way. Well, I have. Both as a preacher and a writer. I know people expect a sermon or an article, but what I want to say seems too harsh or personal or maybe my well has run dry and I simply haven’t anything to say. Too often, I am afraid that I haven’t let that stop me from babbling on. And have
you noticed that once you speak, the cat’s out of the bag and you can’t call those words back. There’s no pretending you didn’t say or write what you said or wrote. Sometimes you luck out as it were and your spoutings are well said or written regardless of your lack of control. Sometimes the listener or reader knows you are just being honest with good intentions and they are actually grateful that you didn’t hold back. Then there are those other times. Yeah! You know what I mean. The whole third chapter of James in the New Testament speaks to the fact that though the tongue is small in size, it is big in influence. Playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote in his 1839 play, Cardinal
Richelieu,” the memorable words, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” And both the tongue and the pen have lived up to their infamous reputations through the centuries. So, we do indeed need to be careful what we say and write. But that doesn’t mean we should always keep quiet. I can’t tell you how many times I have been talking to a total stranger that I have just met and will probably never see again and suddenly found myself telling them about an experience I had some years before or a book I had read a decade ago or some sermon illustration I heard on a tape (remember those) back in the dark ages. I know that I am speaking or writing at the time, but honestly, I would
not have been able to tell you where I was going with my words or what I thought I might be accomplishing. I was just speaking or writing what came to my mind at the moment. And then I notice a tear running down the cheek of the individual who is listening to me or have received a letter to the fact that someone was emotionally moved by something I had written. To their query, I can only answer, “When I got up this morning, I asked the Lord to use me and I guess He has. To His disciples in Matthew 10:19-20 Jesus said, “But when they deliver you up, (give you opportunity to speak or write) do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to
you in that hour what you should speak, for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.” Remember though to whom He was speaking. Verse 24 tells us He was addressing His remarks to those “who hear My words and believe in Him who sent Me.” I sat down today and asked the Lord if I should write another article and this is it. Don’t know why or if it will be read by anyone, let alone someone who really needs this encouragement. But these words go out with my prayer that I have been faithful and God will take care of the rest. Do you need to write or say something? Selah. Think about it. And Let His Light Shine On! (Rev.

■ LIFESTYLES
Libraries open word of information for students Public Libraries of Cleveland County h a v e opened a world of I n f o r m a - SHARON STACK tion for students of Cleveland County Schools. Cleveland County Library System, Mauney Memorial Library and Cleveland County Schools have come together to make this exciting project a reality for all students in Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth grade. All across North Carolina, students in various counties are now able to go online and use their Student ID/child’s lunch number to access all appropriate digital resources offered by their public wlibrary. Using their school ID, each student is now a full-fledged member of the public library system as if they had a library
card. Schools and libraries are collaborating to support students’ ongoing education. They share the belief that a love of books and learning is a strong foundation for student success. They are working together to provide every Cleveland County Schools student access to books and resources found at their public libraries. All students can now use their Student ID number to access and borrow books and resources at each library location. This project is called StudentAccess. Dr. Brian Hunnell, Asst. Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction stated that “Access to these resources are very beneficial to our students’ ability to succeed in their assignments and growth throughout their school career.” Student ID accounts allow students to borrow e-resources and access library databases just like any other Cleveland County
Library System and Mauney Memorial Library card. Students can also borrow up to 10 print or audio books from the Cleveland County Library System and Mauney Memorial Library collection. Students will use their school ID/lunch number and PIN access the library’s services like ebooks and online research. The default PIN is the last 4 digits of the student ID number. More good news is that the student account is free. There are no overdue fines for student accounts, but students are responsible for any fees on lost or damaged materials. For more information. contact one of the public libraries in Cleveland County or the school your student attends. Contact Carol H. Wilson, Cleveland County Memorial Library, 704-4879069 ext. 222 or cwilsong@ ccml.org or Sharon Stack, Mauney Memorial Library, 704-739-2371 or sstack@ mauneylibrary.org
GWU Theatre Department presents an Adventure for All Ages A Journey at Sea Becomes a Thrilling Adventure for Young Orphan
Gardner-Webb University’s Department of Theatre Arts will present its latest production next month. Rick Elice’s play, “Peter and the Starcatcher,” will be performed in Dover Theatre in the Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center, located on the GWU main campus. Performances will be held April 12-15. A matinee performance will be scheduled for school groups who pre-register. The play is based on the 2004 novel, “Peter and the Starcatchers,” by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a dis-
tant island ruled by an evil king. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training. Molly soon realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a powerful celestial substance that must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates—led by a villain determined to claim the treasure—the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on April 12-14, and at 2:30 p.m. on April 15. Tickets are $15 for adults,
$10 for students, and free for GWU students with an ID. GWU faculty and staff receive two free tickets with an ID. For tickets, contact Shelia Toney at sbronner@gardner-webb. edu or 704-406-4656. To pre-register for a matinee performance, contact sbronner@gardner-webb.edu or call 704406-4656. Tours of the University and Theatre Department will be available after the performance. Auxiliary aids will be made available to persons with disabilities upon request 10 working days prior to the event. Please call 704-406-4270 or email disabilityservices@gardner-webb.edu with your request.
Cleveland County Partnership for Children and Smart Start Celebrates 25 Years Cleveland County Partnership for Children and Smart Start are celebrating 25 years of serving Cleveland County’s youngest children and their families with programs to ensure all children start kindergarten healthy, happy, and ready to succeed. In 1993, the North Carolina General Assembly created Smart Start, appropriating $20 million to 18 pioneer counties to begin the work of improving the quality of child care, strengthening families, and supporting healthy child development. By 1997, the funding had increased to $97 million and all 100 North Carolina counties were being served by Smart Start. In 1993, Cleveland County was selected as 1 of the 18 pioneer Smart Start initiatives. Over the past 25 years, Smart Start has become a nationally recognized leader in early childhood and healthy development. The Cleveland County Partnership for Children provides expertise, guidance and infrastructure to ensure children in Cleveland County receive the care and nurturing they need to thrive. The organization invests in early education, literacy, health, and family support so that Cleveland County’s children are ready to succeed and lead productive lives. “Our purpose remains no less important than when we began 25 years ago: children are our future, and the investments we make now will secure a better tomorrow for them”, stated Cleveland County Partnership for Children’s Executive Director, Cathy Taylor. Since its inception, not only has the Cleveland County Partnership for Children served children through Smart Start but under Tay-
lor’s leadership, CCPFC established the NC Pre-Kindergarten Program administrative unit (Formerly More at Four) and in 2015 became the Grantee for Cleveland County’s Early Head Start programs as well. In 2005, Duke Energy awarded the Partnership a $30,000 grant to implement Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Cleveland County. Today over, 103,818 books have been distributed thru Smart Start funding and the generous donations from the community. Currently, 75 local partnerships serve all 100 counties and because of the work of Smart Start, more children are in high quality child care, third grade reading and math scores have increased, special education placements have decreased, the number of developmental screenings has increased, and the number of children being read to daily has increased. On Friday, June 8, 2018, the Cleveland County Partnership for Children will celebrate its 25-year history with a celebration and fundraiser. The celebration and fundraiser will take place from 6:00pm-9:00pm at the Uptown Indigo, located at 112 North Lafayette Street, Shelby. Entertainment will be provided by 8 Track Vinyl and Christine Neal Cline, Anne Goss and Company. Meal will be catered by Dressing on the Side. Tickets are $75.00 for a couple and $40.00 for an individual. To purchase a ticket, please contact Angela Padgett, Smart Start Coordinator at 704.734.2052. Monies raised from the event will go toward the Partnership’s efforts to serve more children. Submitted by Angela Padgett

Collias rallies for gun safety Gina Collias, Republican challenger to U. S. Congressman Patrick McHenry in the primary election May 8, joined demonstrators Saturday in Hickory at the March for Our Lives Rally to end violence in schools. Collias, of Kings Mountain, was among those addressing the crowd at the YMCA Teen Center. Collias is the only woman challenging Rep. McHenry in North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District, which includes areas in central and western North Carolina, including Asheville. She is seeking to represent voters who feel their current representatives in Washington have become too extreme. The Hickory rally was one of 800 marches across the country, as well as the Washington, DC march expecting several hundred thousand people organized by students demanding changes in current gun laws. Collias stands with the students and promises to give them a voice and a seat at the table. Collias is herself a gun
GINA COLLIAS owner, but she agrees there needs to be action to help prevent further tragic mass killings. Gina is standing up because the waves of school shootings in recent years have failed to move poliicians in Washington to examine how to stop such deplorable violence against students and teachers. Gina believes in the importance of the 2nd Amendment and the right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms. “I also believe that common sense reform in gun laws can make Americans safer without compromising our 2nd Amendment rights,’’ she added. “The Parkland students
have inspired youth all over the country as well as adults to speak out on behalf of our children. Our politicians have a duty to find the best ways to stop this rampant violence and to ensure school safety,’’ Collias says. “I am guided only by my moral compass and I will not accept any funding from the NRA.” An attorney and small business owner, Collias has been married to her husband for 27 years. They have three children who are in college and middle school. Gina founded Rational Republicans, a Facebook group with more than 3,400 members, to unite moderate Republicans, Independents, and Democrats in civil discourse and to create a voting block to elect rational representatives. Collias’ centrist policies have inspired Unaffiliated voters and moderate Republicans to support her candidacy. She said that many moderate Democrats are even changing to Unaffiliated to vote for her in the May 8 Republican Primary.

“A Journey Toward Easter” Special to the Herald by Robert Wilson For many Christians, this week marks the end of Lent. We enter Holy Week, wherein we mark the last days of Jesus on earth before His crucifixion. During this time, Christians focus their attention on the events that led up to the crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The week begins by processing with palms on Palm Sunday, and retelling the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Churches around the country, including many in Kings Mountain, are decorated with palms. For those of us at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, we bring a large cross to the front of the sanctuary and decorate it with palm fronds and will later decorate it with flowers on Easter Sunday. We read the story of how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while the people shouted “hosanna,” only to shout “crucify!” a week later. The next event during this special week is the commemoration of Jesus’ last supper with his disciples. This takes place on Thursday, and it is often referred to as Maundy Thursday. It is called “Maundy” because the word comes from the Latin word for mandate. We hear, through the reading of scripture, the command or mandate of Jesus to “love one another.” We then remember how Jesus shared

PRAYERS From Page 4A
Why do you even bother to pray? Prayer is a spiritual event of the heart and mind. Prayer often prepares you mentally and enables you to deal with what is going on. Prayer is about something that is beyond us. Prayer is about the unseen. It’s about the spiritual and is all about bringing God into the scenario. Jesus did not in any way fail in his prayer life. The intensity of his prayer was truly an-

We recall the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion (his arrest, trial, and execution). We reflect on our own shortcomings and need for a Savior, and we turn our attention to the cross. As we recall the death of Jesus, we remember that it is through His dying that we are given new life. Finally, we rise in triumphant victory as we celebrate • Never provide personal information to a stranger. Don’t share personal details with anyone who calls you unsolicited.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb University welcomes Nicole Braddock Bromley, founder of OneVOICE and executive director of OneVoice4freedom, to speak at the Dimensions program on Tuesday, April 3. This event will be held at 9:25 a.m. in Stewart Hall of Tucker Student Center on GWU’s main campus and is free and open to the public. Bromley breaks the silence about sexual abuse while sharing her personal story. Known for her charm, wit, and ability to speak eloquently on difficult topics, she is internationally recognized as an advocate for victims of sexual abuse. As a survivor, advocate, activist, and author, she wants to communicate that everyone has the ability to make a difference. “There are few topics that are more culturally relevant than sexual abuse,” says Dr. Tracy Jessup, vice president for the Office of Christian Life and Service and senior minister to the University. “As a survivor, Nicole Braddock Bromley carries a message of healing and hope through Jesus Christ.” Bromley founded the non-profit, OneVoice4free-
MEARL From Page 1A mid-sixties when I began my newspaper career. We became friends and served in the Mountaineer Club and Hall of Fame committee together. He was always willing to share his memories and expertise, give advice, sell tickets, or anything else that needed to be done. When Carl Champion, who was the original president of the Hall of Fame moved to Florida I happened to be vice-president and took over Carl’s position. I knew right off the bat that I wanted Mearl to be the vice-president. The VP’s work is much more important than the president’s because he’s the one that has to know Kings Mountain sports history and the athletes, coaches and others who were involved in sports in the KM area. The VP is also the chairman of the nominating committee and runs the meeting when it comes down to the final voting. Mearl knew all the greats because he either saw or played with them during their heyday. Mearl and his brother, Gerald, began coaching midget ball right out of high school and many of the great athletes since the mid-fifties got their start under them. I believe, to a man, anyone that played with or for Mearl will tell you he was a great mentor, great athlete and an even greater person. Mearl was probably best known for being a spotter in the KMHS football press box for over 50 years – maybe even longer since the Mountaineers played at the old City Stadium (now Shu Carlton Stadium) prior to John Gamble Stadium being occupied in 1967. But, he will also be long remembered for the work he did in the community and his church. Mearl served several years on the city’s recreation committee, including a span as its president, and along with others was responsible for a lot of im-

provements to the program over the years. Many new fields, walking tracks, etc., were built or improved during those times. The last time I saw Mearl was the Friday before he died. He was sitting in his car outside a local store while his wife, Mary, was inside. He told me how he had to use a walker and that home health was coming to work with him to get him walking on his own. He had been in a convalescent home for a while but said he was doing better. He said the “best” thing about having to stay in bed so much was that he could watch all of the NCAA basketball tournament games. During his memorial service Friday at Grace United Methodist Church his pastor mentioned how much Mearl loved the University of North Carolina, but more importantly about how involved Mearl was in the church. He was not just a Sunday “attender” but whatever he was called upon to do he did it and stuck with it, such as the time he agreed to “try” to teach a Sunday School class for little while and the little while lasted for over 20 years. Everything she said about Mearl impressed me, but none so much as how he insisted that transportation be provided for some young people who were needing a ride to church. One in particular, now grown, told the pastor that because of Mearl making sure the kids had a ride, she was saved. We may know of some of the things Mearl accomplished in sports and recreation, and he may be in Heaven right now talking ball with a lot of people who got there before him. But it’s his devotion to the Lord and his personal ministry to people like the young girl he provided a ride is why Jesus said to him, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

Local Easter egg roll coincides with White House event Ready, set, roll! Kids nine and younger can extend their Easter joy a day longer this year by participating in the Presidential Culinary Museum’s (PCM) annual Easter Egg Roll on the Monday after Easter, April 2, 2018. The PCM is located inside of the Inn of the Patriots, 301 Cleveland Avenue, Grover. Synchronized with the White House Annual Easter Egg Roll, held each year on the White House front lawn, the PCM event will feature contests in egg-rolling, hula-hooping, best dress, drawing and most-decorated spoon. A “Largest Spoon Contest” along with music, prayers, healthy snacks and free prizes will also be offered. Participants are encouraged to bring their own spoon for the egg-roll to join in the fun. “Some of the eggs in the Easter egg hunt will contain hundred dollar bills, and others will include candy,” says William Wendling, Jr., PCM publicist. “This year we also have the 2018 White House eggs signed by Donald and Melania Trump. After the egg roll kids will be able to meet Peter Rabbit and will receive a free Easter photo taken in our 300-pound pink chair.” The PCM has been hosting the Easter Egg Roll for nine years, and kids and families alike seem to enjoy the event, with a typical annual attendance of around 150. First Lady Dolly Madison first began the tradition of Easter egg rolling in Washington, D.C., when local children joined her for an egg roll at the Capitol in 1814. Unfortunately the kids’ fun resulted in damage to the Capitol lawn, and so in 1876 Congress passed the Turf Protection Law, banning the use of the Capitol lawn as a playground. In 1877, bad weather prevented any sort of egg roll event, but in 1878 children stood outside the gates of the White House until President Rutherford B. Hayes invited them onto the grounds to continue the egg roll tradition. The White House Easter Egg Roll has taken place every year since then, with hiatuses during World War I, World War II and during the White House renovations from 1946-1952. President Dwight D. Eisenhower reinstated the tradition in 1953. The PCM roll is held simultaneously with the White House Egg Roll and features the live news broadcast from the Washington event each year. For more information about the egg roll event or about the PCM, search for “Inn of the Patriots” on Facebook or visit the web site at www.theinnofthepatriots.com.
Door of Hope Children’s Mission CEO to speak at Patterson Grove Baptist done”. Under the leadership of Pastor Cheryl Allen, the church made a hole in their wall and a ‘Baby Box’ was installed allowing for mothers to leave their babies any time day or night for the church to take care of them. The moment a baby is placed, care workers on duty receive an electronic signal alerting them. The baby is taken in and the anonymity of the “donor” ensured. News has spread and other babies have been brought personally by their mothers or have come through other means such as the police, community members, hospitals or clinics. Their 3 baby-houses are often commended for feeling like a home rather than an institution. They love their children and consider each house their home until such time as they are adopted, reunited with extended family, placed in specialized homes or join the Door of Hope Village family. They love nothing more than uniting families or to place these children with their new forever mom and dad (or
single parent) and possible siblings. Without Door of Hope, many abandoned babies would be at risk of dying in Johannesburg. Instead, they are cared for, loved, and supported on their journey toward finding a forever family. What makes Door of Hope special is that it is a place where precious little lives find love, acceptance, and comfort. The angels at Door of Hope name and nurture every child, and above all, fight for each one to have a future and a hope. The standard of care and love for each baby is very high. Each child is treated as an individual and staff show a high level of insight into their problems and needs. Door of Hope is a beacon of hope to children not knowing that they are lost and a blessing to families knowing that there is a little angel somewhere meant for them to find love with all their hearts. Check them out at doorofhope.co.za and join us April 8th at 10:00 AM.

Richard Allen, CEO of Door of Hope Children’s Mission will be speaking about the mission on Sunday April 8th at Patterson Grove Baptist Church, 301 Oak Grove Road, Kings Mountain, at 10:00 AM. A covered dish dinner will follow for anyone who would like to hear more. Door of Hope, is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. In their 18 years of service, Door of Hope has helped 1604 babies including 667 adoptions and currently have 66 babies in their care. They are a faith-based organization that strives to reflect Jesus’ heart, and be His hands and feet, to the destitute children of the region. They believe that, by the providence of God, abandoned children can be welcomed into loving, forever families. They have a strong desire is to save children and help them to not only survive but to THRIVE. Abandonment of infants in South Africa is, unfortunately, a common occurrence. Many of these children are left to die, or simply abandoned, in dustbins, open fields, public toilets or on train tracks. In 1999 the Berea Baptist Mission Church said, “something needs to be

KINGS MOUNTAIN SPORTS HALL OF FAME
1980s were ‘Goode’ times at KM High and Limestone (Second in a series on the 2018 inductees into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony, preceded by a meal at 6 p.m., will be Saturday, May 12 at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and will go on sale soon at Ingram’s Barber Shop in downtown Kings Mountain and from members of the Hall of Fame committee. You are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance because the event will probably sell out). Kings Mountain’s Demetris Goode had a disappointing time when he entered Wingate University to play basketball after helping lead Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers to back-to-back Southwestern 3A Conference championships and the #1 ranking in the state of North Carolina 1981 and 1982. Although he didn’t consider himself the star of the team – he still gives that distinction to point guard Carl Smith who went on to break Dr. J’s (Julius Erving) assist records at UMass – he knew he didn’t need to be sitting on the bench. So after his initial season there, Goode transferred to Limestone College in Gaffney, SC and during a two-year career there made All-American and still ranks as the school’s #12 all-time leading scorer with 1,117 points. He led the Saints in scoring during the 1984-85 season with 19.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game and finished that year with 616 total points and shot 59 percent from the field. In his first year at Limestone he averaged 16.7 points and nine rebounds per game. “I will never forget my senior year at Kings Mountain when Limestone coach Craig Drennan came to watch one of our games,” Goode recalled. “After the game we were leaving the court and he came up to Coach (John) Blalock and said ‘I’ll sign all five of your starters right now.’” The Mountaineers were in the process of having the best two-year record in history of the school (51-5). In 1981 they dethroned RS Central’s defending state 3A champions and ended their 43-game winning
Demetris Goode at Kings Mountain High School. streak. They finished the season with a 25-2 record but were upset by Burns in the district championship. In 1982, they compiled a 26-3 record and ended the season as the top-ranked 3A team in the state, but they were upset by Shelby in the district finals and didn’t fulfill their dreams of winning the state. One thing that worked against the Mountaineers both seasons was that they had met both of their Cleveland County rivals on four previous occasions. Much like now, county teams played each other in a pre-season tipoff tournament, twice during the regular season, and sometimes again in the Christmas and conference tournaments. In both of those above-mentioned cases, the Mountaineers had beaten both Burns and Shelby four times by wide margins. Goode was All-Conference both seasons and averaged 13 points and nine rebounds per game. One of the amazing things about those numbers was that he achieved them while playing out of his natural position. He was a natural shooting guard but because the Mountaineers weren’t
blessed with great height he played center. Now living in Gastonia, Goode works at night and doesn’t get to see many high school games so he hasn’t been able to see any games during the Mountaineers’ recent two-year championship run. “I have a grandchild at Hunter Huss who is a cheerleader, so I got to see Kings Mountain beat Huss in football because it was Senior Night at Huss, he noted. “I talked a lot of smack with the people over there. I kept telling them we’d beat them, and I am so glad we did.” The starting lineups at KM in Goode’s day were impressive. Many players like Goode, Smith and Terrence Blalock went on to play college ball. Gerald Byers and Todd Wray were the other starters in ’81 and Goode calls sixth man Paul Ingram “the best sixth man ever. He could come in and do everything anybody else could.” Knocking off RS Central was his biggest thrill because they had won the conference championship the two previous years and were the defending state champs.
Demetris Goode at Limestone College. “They had some great players including Vincent Hamilton, who was one of the highest ranked players in the nation,” he noted. “They were a very tough team.” Goode, whose son Tyshon Goode was a starting wide receiver at Kent State University and his sister Sheryl Goode was a scoring and rebounding machine at KMHS and Johnson C. Smith University, said it’s a great honor to be selected for his hometown Hall of Fame. “I didn’t know if I would make it,” he said. “People kept asking me ‘when are you going into the Hall of Fame?’ and I would say, ‘That’s not my call.’ But I really feel honored.” Like most kids, Goode got his first taste of basketball in his yard on Tin Mine Road in the Compact School community. His father, E.F. Goode, made Sheryl and Demetris two goals out of two straight trees and a backboard that was an old wooden door. He said George Adams, an All-American at KMHS and three-time All-American at Gardner-Webb, would often drive down the road and stop and encour-
age him. He credits his teammates at Kings Mountain and Limestone for helping him achieve his success. “I remember in high school Jimmy Brown was the sixth man on our team our senior year and he also played with me at Limestone,” Goode said. “Jimmy Brown is the person that made me an All-American. Smitty (Carl Smith) was the best point guard I ever played with, but Jimmy Brown would have started anywhere else but Kings Mountain. You just don’t beat out a Carl Smith. But at Limestone, Jimmy would feed me the ball. He ran the offense the way it’s supposed to run. He’s supposed to get the ball to other people. He was a true point guard. “Carl Smith was unbelievable. When I was playing on the JV team at the junior high Smitty was starting on the varsity team so I really didn’t get to know him that well until we got in high school. The first
time I saw him play I knew he was something special. He did all the things a great point guard is supposed to do. He’s the best point guard I’ve ever seen. He led us in scoring and was a great assist man.” Goode’s athletic success wasn’t just limited to the basketball court. He was also an All-Conference performer in the long jump and set the school record at 23 feet even. “The guy who held it before me was Kevin Mack, so I was real excited about that,” he said. “I still tell guys that I went to the same high school as Kevin Mack. The first time I ever saw him run it was like the wind was blowing him, he was so fast. He was the best I’ve ever seen in the 100 yard dash. He was big and he could run.” He credits his sister, Sheryl, for helping him develop his basketball skills. “She was very good,” he said. “At Compact we competed against each other and she played like the guys. We’d get after each other. She was very competitive. A lot of other kids from the neighborhood would play, including Terry McClain, John Barnett, Daryl and Todd Friday and others. I grew up around some good athletes.” Although he was very young, Goode remembers some of the games at Compact before schools were integrated. “I don’t remember a whole lot about it. I just went there through the third grade. But when George Adams was playing pro ball, anytime he would come home he would stop his red Lincoln and talk to me and encourage me. I was always so excited to see him. “I was really little but I remember seeing George and Otis Cole in high school. They were really good.” Goode also remembers how packed the gym would be when the Mountaineers played a home game. “It was so packed and so hot in there I’d cramp up and you could wring water out of my shorts,” he said. “Those were some really great times.”

KM soccer off to 4-0 start in BSC Kings Mountain High’s girls soccer team continued to roll in Big South 3A Conference play last week with victories over one of the pre-season favorites, Forestview, 4-1, and Burns 10-1 to give them a 4-0 conference record heading into a game last night at country-vial Crest. Crest also went into the
game with a 4-0 Big South record and both teams must face another 4-0 team, Stuart Cramer, before the standings really start to take shape. Heading into last night’s game, the Lady Chargers were the only undefeated team overall with an 8-0 mark. The Lady Mountaineers, 6-2 overall, got an outstand-
ing defensive effort from Raegan Buchanan, Rece Guy, Olivia Martin and Mackenzie Ramsey, as well as Baylee Marr in goal, to hold back a very strong Forestview squad Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. The Lady Jaguars left KM with a 3-1 conference and 7-2 overall mark. Cassidy Calhoun and
Lindsey Deaver had outstanding offensive efforts with two goals and one assist apiece. Georgia Moss also had an assist.

had a big night with a hat trick. Scoring one goal each were Carly Johnson, Georgia Moss and Cassidy Calhoun. Sarah Drennan provided two assists with Katherine Martin, Calhoun, Emma Goff , Georgia Moss and Johnson adding one apiece. Baylee Marr was in goal for the shutout.
Kings Mountain will close out its pre-Easter schedule with a doubleheader Friday at Stuart Cramer. JV action begins at 5 p.m. The Lady Mountaineers have a non-conference game at Providence Day on April 6 and will resume Big South play on April 10 at North Gaston.
Summer Deaton got her second win in two nights as the Lady Mountaineers defeated Forestview 11-8 Friday.
Lady Mountaineers beat Burns, Forestview Kings Mountain High’s girls softball team stayed in the thick of the battle for first place in the Big South 3A Conference last week with impressive wins over Burns 5-4 and Forestview 11-8 at KM’s Lancaster Field #3. On Thursday night, Summer Deaton’s walkoff single drove in Jozie Nail with the winning run in the victory over Burns. Cassie Melton hit a pair of two-run home runs, giving the Lady Mountaineers leads of 2-0 and 4-2, but each time the visiting Bulldogs came back to tie the game. Deaton also got the win
on the mound, going the distance and striking out six. Brittney Reynolds also had a big night at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a triple and two walks. Ali Hartman hit a tworun home run for Burns. On Friday, the Lady Mountaineers got into a see-saw battle with Forestview and didn’t take the lead for good until the bottom of the sixth inning when Jessie Oehler singled in two runs. Deaton again got the pitching win, going 4 1/3 innings allowing just three hits and two earned runs while striking out four.
Catie Payne worked 2.2 innnings with six strikeouts. Oehler led the hitting with 3-for-4 and three RBI. Reynolds was 3-for3, Melton 2-for-4 and Kameron Marr 1-for-3 with three RBI. It was the Lady Mountaineers’ fifth straight conference win after opening their season with a loss to Stuart Cramer. KM was 5-1 in the conference and 6-2 overall heading into last night’s game at Crest, which was 6-0 in the BSC and 9-1 overall.

Mountaineers drop two, host Cramer Thursday Hitting and fielding woes continued for the Kings Mountain Mountaineers baseball team in a pair of tough losses to Big South opponents Burns and Forestview Thursday and Friday at Lancaster Field. The Mountaineers collected only four hits in Thursday’s 8-0 loss to the Bulldogs, and managed just five in a 5-2, eight inning loss to the Jaguars on Friday night. In both games, the Mountaineers had some early scoring chances that didn’t pan out and the visitors came back in the middle and late innings to send the home team to its fourth and fifth losses in the Big South and seventh in eight games overall Senior right hander Daniel Bagwell held the Bulldogs in check for the first three innings Thursday before the visitors from Lawndale erupted for two runs on three hits and two KM errors to take command in the fourth. Prior to the fourth, Queens College signee Bagwell had allowed just
one base runner and he was erased on a double play. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers missed scoring opportunities in the first and third innings. They had runners on first and second with just one out in the bottom of the first but couldn’t manage a hit; and Zack Crawford led off the bottom of the third with a double to right but Burns pitcher Alex Pendleton struck out the next two batters and got the third on a grounder back to the mound Burns took the lead on a two-run single by Thomas Bridges with two out in the top of the fourth and that was enough for Pendleton and the Bulldogs to nail down the victory. Kings Mountain’s only hits after that was a triple to deep centerfield by John Harmon Melton with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, a single by Chase Johnson to lead off the fifth, and a single by Bagwell to lead off the sixth. Kings Mountain did put two runners aboard with one out in the bottom of the seventh,
but relief pitcher Max Lowe came on to get Alec Bell to hit into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game. Against Forestview Friday, the Mountaineers took a 1-0 lead in the third on a hit batsman and two-out back-to-back singles by Bagwell and David Bell but the Jagaurs came right back in the top of the fourth to take a 2-1 lead on a bases-loaded balk and sacrifice fly by Evan Owenby. The Mountaineers responded with a run in the fifth to tie the game at 2-all on singles by Bagwell and David Bell and a wild pitch that scored Bagwell from third. With relief pitcher Joe Ruffalo on the mound, the Mountaineers held the Jagaurs in check until the top of the eighth when they struck for three runs to put the game on ice. Dakota Caughey led off with a single to right and Jason Odom drew a walk, but things looked better when the KM defense pulled a 6-4-3 double play, leaving Caughey on third
with two away. But Billy Todd’s infield hit to deep short plated Caughey with what would be the winning run and the Jaguars tacked on two more on a double by winning pitcher Dalton Thomasson, a walk and a wild pitch. Bryce Fisher and Kevin Champion drew walks in the bottom of the eighth but Thomasson got Alec Bell on a fly ball to center to end the game. With the win the Jaguars improved to 3-3 and fifth place in the 8-team Big South while KM stayed tied with Ashbrook for sixth with 1-5 conference marks. The Mountaineers were scheduled to test undefeated Crest last night and will end their pre-Easter schedule with a home game with Stuart Cramer on March 29. They are scheduled to play in the Shelby Easter Tournament April 2-5 and will resume Big South action April 10 against North Gaston.

Kings Mountain scored its lone run in the bottom of the
first and East scored again in the seventh to close it out. Charlie Melton pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on three hits. He walked four and struck out nine. Caleb Broome closed out the game. He gave up one run on two hits, walked two and struck out two. The loss dropped the Patriots to 2-3 overall heading into a home game Monday afternoon against Shelby.

The Patriots hosted their first home match on Tuesday and fell to RS Central 6-3. The rain caused a wet start while players warmed up and hoped for dryer courts. Kings Mountain winners were Ben Bridges, who won 8-1, and Andrea Melton who won 9-8 in a tie breaker. Adam Guy

GWU Department of Music Presents ‘Night of Staged Scenes’ Current Students Present Solo Performances BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—The Gardner-Webb University Department of Music presents a “Night of Staged Scenes” April 5 at 8 p.m. Under the direction of Associate Professor of Music Dr. Stafford Turner, the performances will be in Blanton Auditorium, located in Hamrick Hall. The event is free and open to the public. While past nights of staged scenes have focused
on ensemble performances, this night will feature solo performers. Seven students will perform vocal pieces in both English and foreign languages, including Italian and German. The focus on solo performances teaches students to connect with a character within a work, a practice Turner calls “subtexting.” “If a singer is singing as though they were a character, then it enhances their performance. This enhances the connection to the audience, as well as the audience’s en-
joyment,” says Turner. “This practice allows students to focus on the piece and not the ‘what-ifs’ of what could go wrong.” This one-night event will include performances from Abigail Auman, Madeline
Bame, Maria Mull, Isabel Mull, Cheyanne McCall, Christopher Stroud, and Isaiah Crawford. Accompanying the soloists will be pianist Rebecca Turner, professor of voice at Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C.
