Chief Harris to testify in Washington DC By Loretta Cozart On April 11, Chief of the Catawba Indian Nation, Bill Harris, BILL HARRIS received a letter from the U.S. Senate inviting him to testify before the U.S. Senate on May 1 regarding S.790. Bill Harris is already in Washington D.C. speaking to Senators regarding the proposed casino in Kings Mountain. On March 13, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced legislation 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. 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 puts the decision in the hands of the United States Senate. In a formal statement released in March, the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians “encourage(d) the Catawba Indian Nation to go through
the same process in their home state of South Carolina - in their community." Chief Harris responded, “You can’t use imaginary lines to show where our aboriginal lands once were. Our ancestors were here before there was a North or South Carolina. We were here before there was a Carolinas at all. early maps of America show that the Catawba Indians once occupied this land.” The 1.8 million-squarefoot project is estimated to generate 4,000 – 5,000 new jobs locally. According to initial reports, the facility will draw hundreds of thousands of tourists to the region each year.
A weapons demonstration will be held at the battleground this weekend. Photo provided

Donald Deal, the man behind the music By Loretta Cozart On Thursday, April 18, Donald Deal passed away leaving many friends, coworkers, and students with sad hearts. Mr. Deal’s students reached out to share their thoughts on the man who had been their mentor and friend. Known as a stern educator, Mr. Deal expected his students to be on time, practice, and do their best. He also had a softer side, helping many discover who they were on their path in life. Some went on to be music educators, but even those who didn’t teach remember his wisdom and passion. They remember the man behind the music.
Deal listening as the students played. After serving in the Navy in World War II, Mr. Deal taught band for 35 years. His bands received superior ratings in District and State contests and were
considered among the best in the state. In 2009, Deal was inducted into the North Carolina Bandmaster Hall of Fame for his exemplary work. With all the accolades, students remember Mr. Deal in a real and personal way. John Master’s recalled, “I’ve spent time rethinking how Mr. Deal treated us, turning us into a group that consistently got ‘superior’ grades at the band competition. It was subtle, but Mr. Deal had a way of letting you know that you were expected to show up, on time, and prepared. “Oh, he sometimes yelled, and none can forget that bullhorn he hung over See DEAL, Page 7A

Catfish Moon, a dramatic comedy with adult themes, will be performed by Kings Mountain Little Theatre May 3, 4, 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on May 5 at 3 p.m. The performance will be directed by Teresa Williams and will feature Joanna Brown, Scott Carpenter, Jim Champion and Greg Dixon. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens. For tickets and/or reservations go to kmlt.org or call 704730-9408. The story: The old fishing pier on the end of Cypress Lake has just fallen under the magic of another Catfish Moon. It was the favorite hangout for three best friends when they were kids – skipping school, skinny dipping and even experiencing the mysteries of kissing girls. Now Curley, Gordon and Frog are older and they have tasted the bitterness of life as well as the sweetness, and the pressures and problems that come with middle age have eroded the closeness between Frog and Gordon. The final straw comes
when Frog discovers that Gordon is dating his exwife. Curley, the “big brother” of the bunch, in an attempt to recapture the friendship and settle all disputes, convinces Frog and Gordon to go on an overnight fishing trip like old times. On the pier, the weight of adulthood is lifted by laughter and their love of fishing, and the three guys discover that their friendship was never really lost. However, in the midst of catching the biggest fish of all time, life brings them back to a painful reality.
The poignant resolution of the play brings Gordon and Frog to the realization that life is too prescious and too short to let true friendship get away.

OPINION

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply. –Stephen Covey
Pieces of Kings Mountain History When I was young, I walked to Central School for COZART two years during my early teens. In the morning we were all about the business of getting to school. But on the way home, our pace was more leisurely. Our parents were strict regarding where we went and who we were with but walking home from school gave us some latitude that we could use to our advantage. My brother once told me about a foundation he discovered on one of his walks home after school. He had taken a shortcut through the woods behind the Southern Railway Depot to save time. He called his discovery the Tin Mine, but I wasn’t aware of a tin mine in all my 14 years of experience in our neighborhood. And my family
was relatively new to town, having only moved there in 1961. His friends’ families had been in the area a long time and they probably knew of things we didn’t. Last week I ran across a newspaper article chronicling a tin mine “west of the Southern Railway at the Piedmont street crossing”. That was exactly where my brother discovered the foundation, south of Morris Street and west of Battleground, behind what is now the Southern Arts Society in the old depot. According to the paper, the first tin mine in town came between 1888 and 1889, after a student at Kings Mountain Military School boarding at the home of Capt. Bell, at the corner of Gaston and Mountain Streets, discovered a rock containing tin ore in the yard. A Mr. Ledoux prospected in the southern section of town after that.
Later “a snappy old Englishman – Prof. Fur__ (the rest of his name is not legible), in Prince Albert coat and high silk hat came with his family to prospect and promote tin mining.” In 1907, the Blue Ridge Tin Corporation owned by the Fosters of West Virginia opened the Parker Tin Mine near the Piedmont Crossing of the Southern Railway. According to the article, “the shaft they sunk has now crumbled in and the large wooden mill has decayed, so now all that remains is a sunken hole of rubbish and rock”. I have seen a postcard of a Tin Mine in Kings Mountain, but I don’t believe it was the Parker mine. The article went on to say that tin mining never proved profitable in Kings Mountain. It is interesting to me the number of businesses that have come and gone in the town’s 145-year history. We’ve had gold mines, tin mines, military schools,
Tin mining in Kings Mountain and airports. We had a tin shop on Mountain Street and a NASCAR track below Margrace. Our citizens are willing to try new things. If they are lucky, those busi-
ness catch on. Who knows what businesses we’ll see in the next 100 years? It boggles the mind to try to imagine. Now I am intrigued by
that “snappy old Englishman with the Prince Albert coat and the silk hat.” I wonder if anyone has a photograph of him in their dusty archives.
Lookin’ Out My Backdoor—Late April 2019 The Scotts — too By Greta Reo-Cooper There is nothing like spotting the first warbler of spring; they are like delicate fairies flitting from here to there, often high up in trees just starting to leaf out. New World, or Wood-warblers, as they are more specifically known, are migratory birds, wintering in South America (though several species winter here in North Carolina) and often travelling to the far northern United Stated and
Canada to breed and nest. That means that for those of us in the Southeast, our only chance of viewing this gorgeous group of birds is during the spring migration. When my husband and I go for bird walks in the spring, seeing warblers makes us a little crazy. Binoculars in hand, we’re on high alert for anything flitting about, eyes peeled and scanning the trees. “There! Did you see it?” I’ll ask him, steadying my binoculars on a bird and

The March 28, 1978 Kings Mountain Herald showed a photo of the new wishbone goalposts being installed at John Gamble Stadium. They were the gift from the Kings Mountain High School Class of 1978. According to the paper, “Kings Mountain High gridders will be kicking extra points and field goals through two spanking new goal posts next fall. John Gamble Stadium will be one of just a few stadiums on the high school level with wishbone posts.”
trying to absorb all of its field marks as quickly as possible. “Where?!” He’ll answer. Then comes the funny part, the part where people walking their dogs past us must think we’re a little eccentric. “Alright,” I’ll say, grabbing him and yanking him towards me. “Ok, stand right where I am. See that tree with the branch that goes out at a funny angle? Now look to the left a foot, and he’s right there, with his back to us.” A few seconds later my husband is on it too. “Got it!” Seeing a warbler is one thing, but when you can share it with someone else, it’s truly satisfying. Birders call the condition of constantly staring up at the tree-tops “warbler neck,” and for good reason: these jewel-like birds are breathtaking to look at. Belonging to the family Parulidae, these migrants come in yellow, green, blue, orange—and in every combination of colors and patterns you can imagine. While this makes them stunning to admire through your binocular lens, it also makes them very tricky to identify, even for seasoned birders. Even if you get a good look at the bird, you may still find yourself wondering what you really saw: first-year warblers sport different plumage than breeding adults, and females sometimes look so different from males that they were once classified as separate species! When warbler watching, you’ll learn to cling to the memory of every field mark you observe: black eye stripe, gray head. It’s well-worth

investing in a reputable field guide, like Sibley or Audubon. And then there are the songs. Some birders can identify warblers solely by their singing, a wonderful and handy skill since sometimes that’s all you’ll be privy to, as these little acrobats hop and flutter from branch to branch, often obstructed by leaves. The names can be confusing too: Yellow Warbler, Yellow Throated Warbler and Common Yellowthroat are all different types of warblers. My favorite thing about the spring bird migration is the sense of adventure it brings, and I don’t mean for the birds. There’s nothing more exciting than waking early and heading to your favorite bird spot, never knowing what you might find. And warblers don’t often come to bird feeders, so you’ll have to do some exploring to track them down. My husband and I both keep a Life List of every bird we’ve ever seen, and it’s such fun adding to it. We sometimes choose a bird we’ve never seen before and set out to try and spot it. You can go online and read up on what species have been noted at certain parks or wildlife preserves which is helpful for finding specific birds. But the very best feeling for me is the thrill that comes when my husband and I are both focused in on the same bird, standing still in the quiet of the woods, and being privy to a sort of secret—one of nature’s most fulfilling rhythms.

Happy Easter! Christ is risen, Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia! T h i s past Sund a y , Rev. Joshua countless Morgan Christians Advent around the Lutheran Church world celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Yes, there where egg hunts, lilies, colored eggs, bunnies, and candy- but non of that is in comparison to what Christ did! He defeated the ancient foes of sin, death, and the devil. He broke the bond of sin’s death sting for us. His blood was shed on Calvary
so we might have everlasting life! Just like those firsthand witnesses to the empty grave and the risen Messiah, we must go and tell others. In St. John’s account of the resurrection, chapter 20, Jesus tells Mary Magdalene to go and tell his disciples that “I have seen the Lord” (v18). Mary had come to the tomb fully expecting to come to the tomb to find the body of Christ. She saw the crucifixion just days before. She knew that Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, “It is finished,” (John 19:30). However, as she approached the garden where Jesus’ borrowed tomb was, there was no body. How could it be now that Jesus was speaking to Mary
Page 5A
Magdalene to go and tell others of his resurrection? Jesus is, was, and will always be God deep in human flesh. God incarnate. The same Son of God who sat at the right hand of God the Father during creation came down to create in us a clean heart. To win for us salvation! That’s why we tell others of Jesus! So, many people feel that Easter is over with. However, that’s furthest from the truth. We now live in the days of Easter. We walk with the power of Christ’s resurrection. Today still remains Easter, so tell someone Happy Easterand then tell them “I have seen the Lord!” Have a blessed Eastertide Kings Mountain!

2018 Officers of the Wells Reunion – (L-R) Tom Wells, Robert Wells and Steve Wells. Photo provided by Betsy Wells
John and Britter Wells family reunion April 28 The thirty-second reunion of the John and Britter Wells family descendants will be held Sunday, April 28, at Dixon Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall at 630 Dixon School Road, Kings Mountain, at 1 p.m. in the Grover area. The family meeting will begin with a pot-luck dinner followed by a short business meeting. The group will ride to the old Wells Cemetery, located on the Hughes farm on Stewart Road, to view the re-conditioned graveyard and tombstones of the original members of the family and to see the newly-installed tombstone for family matriarch Britter Wells. Family members are asked to bring documents, wills, pictures, etc. for display. All descendants are urged to attend to share the food, fellowship, memories, laughter, and family genealogy. Current Officers of the Reunion are: Rev. Robert Wells - President, Steve Wells - Vice-President, and Tom Wells -Secretary/ Treasurer. Hilda Moss is the Historian.
John and Britter Wells were among the earliest settlers in this area, buying land in the Dixon Community from a land grant issued by the King of England prior to the Revolutionary War. Their cabin was used to treat the wounded from the Battle of Kings Mountain. Currently the oldest residence in Cleveland County, it is depicted on the historical mural on the Plonk Dept. Store wall in downtown Kings Mountain. The cabin is presently owned by Ms. Elizabeth Stewart on Stewart Road. John was one of the signers of the Tyron Resolve which predates the Declaration of Independence. The old Wells Cemetery, where John and Britter Wells are buried, is on the Betty Hughes farm located on Stewart Road, Kings Mountain. For additional information about the reunion, call Secretary / Treasurer Tom Wells at 704-6005706, or President Robert Wells at 864-489-8680.

MEXICAN Mauney Memorial Library will kick off their summer reading program on Friday, June 14. Children will have the opportunity to participate in free activities each week through July 26.
A Universe of Stories summer reading program The staff of Mauney Memorial Library is planning for an "out of this world" summer! Kick off is Friday, June 14 at 10:00 am with the SkyDome Planetarium at Central United Methodist Church. Be sure and register for this fun and informative event at mauneylibrary.org. Each week from June 14 until July 26, the library will provide opportunities to participate in free activities. Programs will be offered for children, teens and adults. Back this summer will be “Come Back Crafts”, the Summer Reading Riddle and the Summer Reading Store! Stay up to date with our flyer and online calendar. Registration for SkyDome and all the other fun programs will open soon. Programming, materials, and activities for elementary-aged children should be a core part of every library’s offerings year-round. Traditionally, summer reading programs are designed to encourage elementary-aged
children to keep reading during summer vacation. Preventing the “summer slide” continues to be the main objective of summer reading programs. For many families with elementary-aged children, the public library is the only community space available during the summer months where they can access free educational and cultural enrichment activities and programs. The benefits of summer reading programming for children: Children are motivated to read. Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library. Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation. Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery. Children have access to experiences through which they can learn to work cooperatively.

DEAL From Page 1A his shoulder during marching band season. He made it clear when he was unhappy with us, but he also managed that gleam in his eye and his big smile when things went as planned.” Jim Payseur wrote, “In seventh grade, I enrolled in band and started out on the Cornet. After two years, Mr. Deal sat down with me and said, ‘You play well but you will never be first chair on the Coronet. I suggest you switch to Baritone horn. I believe you could become first chair at that. But the decision is yours.’ I took his advice and I couldn't have been happier. I loved playing that horn so much in the concert band, marching band and pep band! “Mr. Deal was one of the top mentors in my life. His way of teaching was demanding and very rewarding. He would never settle for mediocrity. He would find whatever talent you had and bring it out. Honestly if it weren't for him and his influence I don't know where I'd be today.” One of the most poignant stories was that of Steve Moss, who wrote, ”I was one of five children in my family and was the next to youngest. I followed my brother who was brilliant, talented, very popular and successful. More than once I heard that phrase ‘Why can’t you be like your brother!’ “Still, in high school I decided to make my own path in the opposite direction. I wouldn’t label myself a hellion, but I just really didn’t care. I would skip classes, never pay attention, and never study. I somehow managed to keep my head just above water until the 11th grade. That’s when I failed Mrs. Teer’s English class, and subsequently failed the 11th grade. I was forced to attend summer school to stay with my class. “As the next year started, I went by the band room to pick up my trombone. Mr. Deal asked me to come into his office. I fully expected to be put on probation, but instead he sat me down and

talked to me for almost an hour. He knew my brother well. In fact, he knew all my brothers, and my sister. And he told me that I was not any of them. I was Jeff. A person all my own with my own strengths, my own talents and my own life to live. And I was the only one who could choose what that life could be. “I will never forget that talk, because that was when I determined to change course. By that time my grades had suffered so much damage that getting into any major university was out of the question. But I graduated, went to a community college to get my grades up, then to NC State where I graduated four years later. All because a man cared enough to sit me down and share his wisdom. This morning, we lost this beloved soul,” Moss wrote. Trip McGill remembered Mr. Deal with these words, “I am thankful for his full life and for his influence! About eight years ago, he was at Ashbrook listening to the band and afterward visited my chorus classroom! He opened my classroom door while I was teaching and said to my students, ‘I’m the reason he is the way he is!’ Then he slammed the door closed. “Mr. Deal is a legend for those of us who had the great honor of sitting in his classroom! Yes, he taught music, but he taught us much more! He taught discipline, organization, that you must practice doing whatever you were going to do, persistence, endurance, being in time, following through and so much more! I learned how to be a teacher from Mr. Deal!” Toni Williams shared, “Mr. Deal is one of my most remembered teachers and one I absolutely loved. I saw him a few weeks back at Swooger's restaurant and I ran to open the door so I could speak to him. I told him who I was and that I played trombone in the band. He remembered me! I got to hug his neck and tell him how much he meant to me.” Deborah Hayes wrote, “I loved music, but boy did he love it times 100. I can see
him now leaning over the flutes to direct the horns, spit flying! Trying to teach us pinwheels on the football field. Who knows how many kids he touched with that joy!” Elizabeth Bradley Hodgkins shared, “He was not only a band teacher but like a parent. I learned many life lessons from him.” Cerese Feagans wrote, “Mr. Deal, how I loved him! I saw him frequently at the grocery store and he would always hug me and call me by name.” Jackie Ledford Goode said, “He was a great band director and I was fortunate enough, many, many years later to have him as my choir director at Resurrection Lutheran Church. He was an awesome person. Very much respected and loved.” For the many students who began their band career at Central, Trip McGill describes the experience well, “From that dreary, cold, old garage at Central School in seventh grade, through having band at the Kings Mountain Community Center during the ninth grade (while KM Jr High was being built), to that final concert in the Spring of 1978 in the stage of Barnes Auditorium, where we played the final notes of ‘Song for the Young’, we were taught how to live, work and be successful in life from a strict, firm, but oh-so-fair and caring band director!” John Masters summarized, “It would be easy to quip that April 18th in Kings Mountain was ‘the day the music died,’ but that wouldn’t be true. Mr. Deal gave thousands of us a deeper appreciation of music. He inspired many students to go into music education and college music programs across the state were proud to get students from Mr. Deal’s program. I’m sure those folks went on to inspire others so that Mr. Deal’s music continues to ripple through time, and I hope he’s proud of that.” Student Steve Moss remembers one of Mr. Deal’s hardest concepts to learn, “Rest in peace Mr. Deal. You have earned your spot in that Heavenly Band. Now we must experience what you told us so often. Silence is the loudest note of all.”

SCOTTS
a squeaker victory in a primary runoff over Blue. Scott used his new office to run for the next one, giving hundreds of speeches each year and eating meals of “razor thin roast beef, seventeen green beans, a wad of mashed potatoes and apple pie the density of lead.” Meanwhile, Christensen notes, “The growing white backlash against racial integration gave Scott reason for caution.” He won the 1968 Democratic nomination over conservative Democrat and later Republican Mel Broughton and African American dentist Reginald Hawkins. The results of the presidential contest in North Carolina marked what Christensen calls “the breakup of the Democratic Party.” Richard Nixon won; George Wallace was second, and Hubert Humphrey was third. Nevertheless, in the governor’s race Scott faced and beat Republican Jim Gardner. The mountains of bitter controversies in the areas of race, labor, student unrest, and higher education administration he confronted are too much for this column to cover. We will continue in a later column.
From Page 7A and plain-spoken, he appointed women and African Americans to government positions and disregarded criticism of his actions. Then, when elected to the U.S. Senate in 1954 as a liberal in a campaign managed by future Governor Terry Sanford, he nevertheless joined with fellow southerners to oppose civil rights legislation. Christensen’s greater contribution to the Scott family saga is his account of the political career of Kerr’s son, Bob Scott (1929-2009). Young Bob grew up on Kerr’s dairy farm and, like his father, became active in farmers’ organizations, working in political campaigns, including Terry Sanford’s 1960 successful race for governor. By 1964, at age 35, he was ready to mount a statewide campaign for lieutenant governor. But two senior Democrats, state Senator John Jordan and House Speaker Clifton Blue, were already running. Christensen writes, “In some ways Scott had broken into the line.” Nevertheless, with the help of powerful county political machines, he won

Former KMHS, Gardner-Webb athlete Curtis Pressley going into Hall of Fame (Last in a series of articles on former KMHS athletes and teams that will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame Sat., May 11 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available at Ingram’s Barbershop downtown and at Kings Mountain High School. It includes a meal). Curt Pressley, who was one of the first two backs ever to gain over 1,000 yards each during the same season at Kings Mountain High, and later a standout at Gardner-Webb University, will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame during its annual dinner and induction ceremony Saturday, May 11 at Central United Methodist Church. Had it not been for injuries his sophomore and junior years that kept him out of action for most of the season, Pressley possibly could have been the school’s all-time leading career rusher up until that point. Despite an injury that cut his season short, Pressley led the team in rushing his junior year with 725 yards, and again his senior year with 1,185 yards. That year, Tracy Johnson, who went on to play at Clemson University and in the NFL, gained 1,142 yards. Coach Denny Hicks’ team was in line to qualify for the state 3A playoffs but dropped its last two games to finish in third place in the Southwestern Conference. Pressley had several 100 yard games during all three seasons, and his senior year had 228 yards in just 11 carries in a big win over Burns and 224 in a 32-12 victory over East Rutherford. He topped the 1,000 yard mark with 130 in a win over the North Gaston Wildcats. Before 1983, the only other two running backs to come close to 1,000 yards rushing in the same season were Ken Baity and Don Gladden, in 1957. Baity ended that season with 1,289 yards rushing and Gladden added 717. Gladden would top the 1,000 mark during his senior year of 1958 with 1,051 and he also added 187 on eight pass receptions for a total offense mark of 1,238. Pressley, who also played basketball, baseball and wrestled for the Mountaineers, was having a spectacular start to his high school career in 1981. He made the varsity as a sophomore (high schools were 10th, 11th and 12th grades at the time) and was leading the rushing until a season-ending broken arm injury. “I broke my hand in the pre-season,” he recalled, “and then shattered my arm against
South Point. I was having a good game, too. I had three carries for 83 yards when I broke it. I was in the hospital until 12:30 that night.” His junior year was off to a good start, also, but he sprained his ankle in the sixth game. “That killed my thousand yard season,” he said. “I hobbled the next three weeks. I really thought I’d have a shot at breaking Kevin Mack’s (single season) rushing record until that happened. “I was really disappointed. It happened in practice. Zack Roseboro hit me. I thought I would be alright, and if technology then was like it is now I could have played the rest of the season.” Prior to the injury, he had had a spectacular opening night, running for 226 yards in nine carries in a game in which the Mountaineers dominated Burns. “That was all in the first half,” he noted, “It was a pretty good night.” In another game against East Rutherford, he also topped the 200 yard mark. “My senior year, Coach Hicks changed the offense a little bit,” Pressley recalled, “and tried to key more on me on offense. Beginning my junior year he was trying to keep me more rested and I didn’t play defense as much.” After his senior season, Presley signed a letter of intent with Western Carolina University. But Gardner-Webb later offered him a full scholarship and he chose to stay closer to home. Gardner-Webb Coach Woody Fish recognized Pressley’s all-around athletic ability and kept him on the field most of the time. “I actually played both ways,” Pressley said. “I played fullback and halfback on offense. My junior year they moved me to linebacker. I was pretty aggressive so he asked me if I would play inside linebacker. “He said ‘I need you’ and I was glad that happened. My first game I think I had 14 or 15 tackles and had a really outstanding game. I played both offense and defense and played on every special team all four years.” Since graduating GWU, Pressley has remained in sports as a coach on many levels including youth, middle school and high school. He is currently a member of Greg Lloyd’s coaching staff at KMHS. He got into high school coaching while he was working at Carolina Freight in Cherryville. “In ’87 and ’88 I was an assistant to Tim Quattlebaum at Cherryville High School,” he noted. “He told me he needed
some coaches and asked if I was interested. I worked a flexible schedule – four days on and four off – so I helped him with the Cherryville football team and really enjoyed it. I didn’t get to go to all the games because of my work schedule.” Since that time, Pressley has been a volunteer coach in most of the recreation programs at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA, and most recently at Kings Mountain Middle and Kings Mountain High. He has coached football, baseball and basketball at the youth level. He was an assistant at KM Middle for three years under Coach Tim Gunn and during that time the Patriots went 6-2, 8-0 and 8-0 with two Tri-County Conference championships. All three of his sons played at KM Middle. His oldest, Jerdon, is now playing college football and his younger two, Devin and Belton, are playing football and other sports at KMHS. “I went out there one day and he asked if I could help,” Pressley recalled. “I agreed and also suggested a couple of others and he did a lot of things we wanted to do. He was a big stickler on the fundamentals. Jerdon had just left the middle school when I started.” Jerdon was a senior when he joined the staff at KMHS. Pressley’s all-around knowledge of the game of football made him a perfect fit at both schools. “I do a little bit of everything,” he noted. “I don’t coach a specific position, I’m mostly just one of the guys. My main focus is concentrating on helping kids that are not understanding their position. “I try to get across to them that everything is like clock work,” he added. “You have to work together to be successful.” Pressley has been part of one of the most successful eras in KMHS history. The Mountaineers have won 12 games in each of the past two seasons and made it to the Western NC championship game last fall. “Coaching at the high school really feels good,” he said. “The kids want to play. It’s been a good experience for me and I appreciate Coach Lloyd letting me help. “I’ve always tried to be fair to every kid. I don’t want anyone to be able to say ‘he’s there for his sons.’ I am extremely fair to every kid. A lot of the other players don’t even know that they’re my kids.” Pressley said he is a big believer in the fundaments. “Players can’t enjoy football if they don’t understand the fundamentals,” he noted.
Curt Pressley during his playing days at Kings Mountain High School. “It’s a really good feeling being out there. To be successful you have to practice like you’re a state championship team. Good teams practice for perfection.” Pressley said he is very proud of his sons. He is also basketball player Matt Toms’ legal guardian. “I want them all to feel that when you walk off the field you know you’ve done your best,” he said. Pressley takes his Hall of Fame election with gratitude and humility. “It’s very exciting,” he said, “but I thought others deserved it more than me at this time. But I am grateful to the committee for selecting me. It’s an honor to be recognized with others worthy to be in the Hall of Fame. “I am forever grateful for everything people in the City of Kings Mountain has allowed me to be,” he added. “I am a proud Kings Mountain Mountaineer. I am grateful God has granted me this opportunity.”
Curt Pressley is now an assistant football coach at Kings Mountain High School.

Annual tribute to Jim Horn
Mountaineers 1-2 ALWS Baseball game in Easter tournament scheduled for April 30 Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers won one of their three games in last week’s Cleveland County Easter Tournament at Shelby High School. The Mountaineers defeated South Pointe, SC, 18-8 in the opening round before falling to Crest 2-0 and the South Point Red Raiders 7-5. Against Crest, the Mountaineers were victim of a perfect game from Charger ace CJ Mayhue, who had defeated the Mountaineers earlier in the season in a Big South Conference game at Lancaster Field. Mayhue sent 15 of the 21 KM batters back to the dugout via the strikeout route Seth Kennedy pitched his best game of the year for the Mountaineers, giving up just five hits over six innings of work. He struck out four and only one of the
two Crest runs off him was earned. In the opener against the South Pointe Stallions, the Mountaineers opened with seven runs in the top of the first and were never threatened. John Harmon Melton led the hitting with 2-for-4, including a double and three runs batted in. David Bell was 2-for-4 with one RBI and Joe Ruffalo was 2-for-5 with three RBIs. Bryce Fisher had an RBI double and Cameron Stevens and Silas Price each had a single. Fisher worked two innings on the mound to get the win. He allowed just one hit and struck out three. Kennedy, Crawford, Clint Turner, Charlie Melton and Devin Pressley also saw mound duty, giving up only three hits and striking out eight between them.

The Mountaineers closed their week with a loss to Belmont South Point, a team they had defeated in a non-conference game earlier in the season. South Point struck for five runs in the bottom of the first for a 5-3 lead.

David Bell went 2-for-3 and scored two runs, and Ruffalo had two hits in three trips. Fisher had an RBI double. Zach Crawford had an RBI single and Stevens and Melton each had a hit. Ruffalo pitched 2 2/3 innings and took the loss. Fisher worked three innings and allowed three hits while not giving up a run, and Cooke worked 1 1/3 innings.
Wake Forest University plays Gardner-Webb University at Keeter Stadium The local American Legion World Series (ALWS) committee is pleased to announce that this year’s college game played in tribute to Jim Horn will be between Wake Forest University and Gardner-Webb University at 6:00 PM Tuesday, April 30, at Shelby High School’s Keeter Stadium. No ticket is needed for attendance.
“This game is important to the ALWS committee because it honors one of our original co-chairmen, who was dedicated to the ALWS in Shelby long before many others joined the effort,” say Eddie Holbrook, who served as co-chairman with Horn from 2002 until Horn’s death in 2015. “Jim was an alumnus of Wake Forest University and he and his wife Linda became friends with baseball Coach Tom Walter. This annual tribute is Coach Walter’s way of honoring their friendship
and the loyalty Jim Horn showed to his alma mater. Coach Walter gives up a home game to play in Jim’s hometown and we are privileged to be a part of it.” The gates will open at 4:00 PM for the game and concessions will be available. WFU will have six games remaining on this year’s schedule after April 30; GWU will have nine games remaining. Call the ALWS office at 704-466-3103 for more information.

American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Unit 155 members will distribute red crepe paper poppies around town to honor military service members in exchange for donations that goes directly to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in our communities. Connecting the visual image of the poppy with the sacrifice of service made by our veterans has been an important goal of the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Program since its inception in 1921. The local Poppy Program is being managed by Deann Burton and Kathy Hambright, along with the support of ALA members. After World War I, the poppy flourished in Europe. The red poppy flowers bloomed above the battle graves because the ground was cultivated as the war dead were buried. Lt. Col. John McCrae wrote the WWI war poem "In Flanders Fields" on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
American Legion Auxiliary remembers those who fought and died and continues to honor our military service members with the Poppy Program. funeral of friend and fellow soldier. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. In 1918, Moina Michael popularized the idea of wearing a poppy flower in memory of the war dead. The last living WWI Veteran died in 2012, but the American Legion Auxiliary remembers them and continues to honor our military service members with the Poppy Program. Look for “Poppy Ladies� at business around town and support our local veterans. All donations received will be used by The American Legion Family for their programs that support veterans, the military community and their families.

Warmer weather and sunshine are finally here, and the tax filing deadline is behind us. Chances are that your seasonal chores include a spring cleaning. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) have teamed up to remind everyone that when clearing out clutter, don’t forget about the critical need to protect your volumes of valuable information. Whether you are tidying up your home or sprucing up your office space, everyone needs to spend a few minutes to help keep personal online data more secure. Taking some simple, proactive steps will go a long way in safeguarding you against any number of potentially disruptive issues – like identity theft, loss of funds or credit card fraud – that can cause mayhem by compromising your data. “Whether you are running a household or a company, today everyone is non-stop busy – juggling schedules, activities and deadlines. Our ‘always-on’ lives require that we take simple, actionable steps to stay safer online,� said Kelvin Coleman, NCSA’s executive director. “If you are a business leader, it makes good sense to make this a priority – both for you and your customers. Think about your valuable data – photos, videos, and confidential contacts along with highly sensitive financial and health records – which could potentially get into the wrong hands. Take the time to put into practice a few precautionary measures and you will have greater peace of mind – not only this spring but all year round.� The BBB is encouraging everyone to follow our top three “take-action tips� and enjoy the benefits of the internet. In addition, to
assist in the safe disposal of electronically stored data – like past tax returns – be sure to participate in “shred dayâ€? events in your area. “Safeguarding your personal information is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of identity theft,â€? said Tom Bartholomy, BBB president. “It’s important to safely store needed paper records and to shred what you no longer need. The same is true for your digital information. Most of us don’t do everything we can to protect our key data, but once you have a good system in place, it’s much easier going forward to keep your information secure and to properly dispose of old data you no longer need. Digital Spring-Cleaning Take-Action Tips: • Lock Down Your Login: Both at home and at work, security is critical to protecting highly personal accounts. One of the first things everyone needs to do is ensure that passphrases are lengthy, unique and safely stored. In addition, it is essential to fortify accounts by adopting strong authentication, which adds another layer of protection. • Update Your System and Software: Don’t procrastinate any longer! Having the latest updates, security software, web browser, and operating system is one of the easiest ways to keep devices secure and protect data. This simple “digital to doâ€? is a must to help keep cybercriminals at bay. • Back It Up: Protect your personal and workplace data by making electronic copies – or backups – of your most important files. Whether its family photos, health records or employee contacts, back up your files this spring and set a schedule to do so regularly throughout the year.
