At the March 26 regular council meeting, C i t y Council SELLERS approved an average 10.8% rate reduction for all of their 4,929 electric customers. Mayor Scott Neisler stated “This is another historic event for our customers. In today’s economy, it is very rare to hear of any type of utility rate reductions. What a great way to improve our citizens’ quality of life.” Nick Hendricks, the City’s Assistant City Manager and Director of Energy Services presented the methodology to City Council in an earlier work session; explaining how this rate reduction is possible and is primarily through the removal of the Purchase Power/Coal Ash (PPA/CAR) cost per kWh. In examples given to City
Council, he showed a 1200 kWh residential electric customer which will see a reduction of $11.16 off of their electric bills beginning with their March utility usage showing on April bills and could be double or more that amount depending on usage. The examples for the commercial and industrial users show even greater savings, since this reduction is directly related to how much kWh a customer uses each month. “When you can reduce a Large industrial customers electric utility cost as much as $20,000-$25,000 per month, you just put your community in a better position in keeping and attracting commercial and industrial customers”, stated Stuart Gilbert, the City’s Economic Development Director. Giving the reasons behind how this rate reduction is possible, Nick Hendricks stated “the decision by our City Council to enter into a new Purchase Power Agreement with NTE Energy, though
a difficult one since the City had been with Duke Energy for over 100 plus years, was a sound and proven decision and the agreement puts the City into a stable rate market for many years to come.” The Mayor, City Council and City Management wish to thank Duke Energy for a great relationship and service and remind our customers that though we have left Duke as our wholesale power provider, we still are a customer of Duke’s Transmission Service. When asked what she wanted our citizens and customers to realize with this rate reduction, City Manager, Marilyn Sellers stated, “It is important that we as a City strive to provide safe and reliable utilities to our customers at affordable and competitive rates. This rate reduction will assist us as a City in attracting future development which will be a great benefit to all of our customers and citizens in bringing jobs and additional revenue.”

American Legion Riders deliver wheelchair By Loretta Cozart collection day is April 6 at the Cleveland County Public Health Center located at 200 South Post Road in Shelby from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
American Legion Riders are a motorcycle enthusiasts association within the American Legion that creates an environment where Legion family mem-
bers come together to share a common love for motorcycles. The project was begun by Legionnaire Daniel Holman who lost both legs on active duty in 1988. Many motorcycle dealerships
were not equipped with wheelchairs, nor were they designed with handicapped persons in mind. Holman began his Wheelcharrier program personally delivering wheelchairs to Harley-Da-
vidson motorcycle dealerships using his own truck. When the American Legion heard of his efforts, they adopted it and began delivering motorcycles to Harley-Davidson dealerships across eleven states.

Bill requiring Sheriffs cooperate with ICE clears N.C. House Judiciary Committee Legislation to require North Carolina sheriffs cooperate with federal authorities from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency seeking to serve detainers on arrested illegal immigrants charged with crimes was approved by the state House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. House Bill 370, Require Sheriff Cooperation with Ice, makes it unlawful for any county to prohibit federal immigration officials from entering or conducting immigration enforcement activities in a county jail, confinement facility, or other type of detention center. H.B. 370 is also sponsored by Rep. Brenden Jones (R-Columbus)
Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln), and Rep. Carson Smith (R-Pender). The bill is co-sponsored by state House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland). It also requires county sheriffs in North Carolina to fulfill detainer requests from the federal government for illegal immigrants who are already under arrest and charged with a crime. Rep. Destin Hall (R-Caldwell), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Criminal Matters, presented the legislation and answered questions from the committee Tuesday. “There are a small number of sheriffs in some of
our state’s largest counties who have decided to stop cooperating with federal immigration authorities, in many cases even deciding to stop communicating with federal immigration authorities, about illegal immigrants charged with crimes and currently in jail,” Hall said in committee Wednesday. “These sheriffs are putting politics ahead of public safety. This bill would put a stop to that.” Sanctuary sheriffs in North Carolina have released illegal immigrants charged with serious crimes including assault on a government official, assault on a female, manslaughter, indecent liberties with

a child, rape, kidnapping, and forcible sex offenses, during their ongoing refusal to cooperate with federal law enforcement officers seeking to detain those individuals, according to the Department of Homeland Security. “This codifies what most sheriffs in our state are already doing and what they’ve been doing for a long time, until very recently when a few sanctuary sheriffs decided to stop cooperating with federal immigration authorities,” Hall said. “Similar legislation has passed in other states and been upheld by federal courts. This just requires sheriffs who already ar-
rested someone to notify federal authorities when they can’t determine citizenship for that individual.” The legislation does not apply to persons who are victims or witnesses of a criminal offense, anyone who is reporting an offense, or anyone who can establish lawful United States citizenship or legal immigration into the country. “We are only interested in folks charged with a crime who are here illegally, in jail, and charged with a crime, in this legislation,” Hall said. The legislation advanced to the state House Committee on State and Local Government.

Fill the Boot Drive City presentations and proclamations to be held on May 4th
The Kings Mountain Fire Department shows its continued support for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) as they kick off their annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign to raise critical funds to help transform the lives of kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases. Continuing a 65-year tradition of giving strength to the MDA community, dedicated fire fighters from Kings Mountain Fire Dept will hit the streets and storefronts with boots in hand asking pedestrians, motorists, customers and other passersby to donate to MDA on Saturday, May 4th at the intersection of Battleground and Mountain. “We are thrilled to be working with the Kings Mountain Fire Department for another year of Fill the Boot to help provide the funds needed to find treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases that severely limit strength and
mobility,” said Lisa Swicegood, Associate Executive Director of MDA, Greater Carolinas. “The dedication of these fire fighters to MDA’s mission is unwavering, spending countless hours both with Fill the Boot and MDA Summer Camp to care for the kids and adults in Cleveland County. We know that their devotion to our families will make this year’s drive a success.” Funds raised through King Mountain’s Fill the Boot events in 2019 will help the MDA save lives and lift those up in need, by providing the MDA with vital resources to advance their mission of driving innovations in science and care for the neuromuscular community. Contributions have helped fund groundbreaking research and life-enhancing programs such as state-of-the-art support groups and Care Centers, including the MDA Care Center in Charlotte. They also help send more than 120 local kids to “the best week of the year” at MDA summer camp at
Victory Junction – all at no cost to their families. In addition to Fill the Boot drives, fire fighter contributions from yearround local events, including galas, Muscle Walk, and other fundraising events help support MDA’s efforts to raise awareness and provide professional and public education about neuromuscular diseases. The partnership between firefighters and MDA began in 1954 and their unwavering commitment to MDA has remained strong to this day. As MDA’s largest national partner, they have raised more than $650 million for the MDA to date. Today the firefighter/MDA partnership is finding new ways to save lives by working to expand newborn screenings in the U.S. with Pompe disease or Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), so that they can be immediately eligible for lifesaving and life changing therapies.

However, he did learn some valuable truths. “…..a wise man’ heart discerns both time judgment” (8:5) And ever this great adventure of exploration of the excesses and varieties of life’s pleasures and miseries, he does leave us with what he writes of the sum of it all. “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”. (And I would add the quite from the Apostle John (I Jn. 5:3),” ….and His commandments are not grievous”. “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”. (Ecl. 12: 13-14). And there is the bottom line truth.
We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Rom. 14: 10/II Cor. 5: 10); or the White Throne Judgment of God (Rev. 20: 11-15). Our eternal destiny will be totally determined by whether or not our name is written in that Book of Life. It can be there through no other way except through our receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (Jn. 3: 3, 5/Acts 4: 12). And with God, there is no respecter of persons (Rom. 2: 11/Col. 3: 25). And that’s the conclusion, sum of the whole matter. I pray we’ll all get ready and stay ready.

Randell Jones speaks at the Daniel Boone’s Life presentation. Photo provided
Women of Daniel Boone’s life On March 30, historian Randell Jones spoke about the women of Daniel Boone’s life to a group of 30 gathered at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum. While women of that period could not own property or vote, they still had great impact on those around them, according to Jones. The most famous story in Daniel Boone lore is that of Jemima Boone and Betsy and Frances Calloway. The three girls were kidnapped by Cherokee Indians and forced to march for three days without food or water. During that time, Daniel Boone and a rescue party were in hot pursuit. Jones shared, “The girls were spirited, capable, and resourceful women and they played key roles in their rescue. First, they left a trail as they marched through the wilderness so trackers could follow. When shots rang out and the rescue began, the girls fell to the ground to protect themselves from the gunshot and then ran away from their captors as soon as they could.” This story made Daniel Boone famous and was later adapted into James
Filmore Cooper’s novel “The Last of the Mohicans.” Jones said that Jemima Boone was certainly influenced by her father but explained that Daniel Boone was often gone for long periods, even years, at a time. In his absence, wife Rebecca Boone played an equally important role in teaching her children how to survive on the frontier. Rebecca Boone was often at the homestead alone with her children. Once when Daniel Boone was asked to report of the Shawnee Uprising, Rebecca and her children forted up with other families for protection. After a time, the men relaxed their guard and even went so far as to play a ball game outside the walls of the fort. They didn’t take their weapons and with the gates wideopen the fort stood exposed. Rebecca Boone and the other women decided to teach the lax men a lesson. They loaded guns with light powder, as did Native American’s of that time. Then they went behind the fort, shot the guns and closed the gates. The men bolted, looking for a way to get back inside. Some even jumped into a nearby pond to hide. After a
time, the men realized there was no real threat and the women had a good laugh at their expense. The men were so angry, they suggested punishment for Rebecca. But Rebecca, and other the women had made the point that the men should not let down their guard. A tough lesson, but a good one from those whom they considered “the weaker sex.” These and other stories of Daniel Boon’s wife, daughters, and granddaughters exemplify the strength and resilience of frontier women. They show us that Rebecca Boone and her daughters were capable women who knew how to survive on the frontier. During Women’s History month, it is appropriate to understand these women often showed great strength and fortitude in difficult times. Strength can be measured by both the weight one can lift, and the burdens one can bear to overcome adversity. This project was made possible by the funding from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Town and Country Garden Club meets Sarah Rhea was hostess for the March 14, 2019, meeting of the Town and Country Garden Club. Nine members were present and enjoyed fellowship and food. The Club Collect was read by the members before we enjoyed the meal of ham, green beans, pasta salad, deviled eggs, yeast rolls and pecan pie. The business session was conducted by Cheryl Butler. Susan Gibson, treasurer, gave a financial report. Brenda Sipe discussed work that needs to be done for the club scrapbook. The Kings Mountain post office project was discussed. Members will meet on Thursday, March 21 at 12 noon to work on the three flower beds. A decision will be made at that time about some changes to be made. Discussions about their personal flower beds were
offered and ideas were exchanged. Cheryl Butler gave an interesting program on Pittosporum, which is an evergreen shrub native to southern Japan and China. This shrub can reach 8 to 10 feet or more in height and can spread up to 12 or more feet. Pittosporum is great for hedges and screens due to their fast rate of growth. Dwarf varieties, such as MoJo grow more slowly and have compact growth, reaching only 2 fee tall. These are attractive used as high ground covers, mass plantings, and in containers. The leaves are tightly arranged in whorls at the ends of the branches. The white and grey-green variegated are more common than the solid green verities. It responds well to pruning. If flowers of the shrub

are desired, pruning should only be done right after flowering. The orange-blossom scented flowers appear in early to mid-spring. The flower clusters are 2-3 inches wide and are very show against the dark green foliage. They tolerate a range of soil conditions, as long as the soil is well drained and are drought tolerant once established. Japanese Pittosporum will grow well in both in full sun and shade, and the shrub is very heat tolerant. Water regularly while it is becoming established. Excessive moisture can lead to root rot diseases. They are very easy to propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings. Pittosporum are great to be used in flower arrangements.

Gardner-Webb students share faith in York, England over spring break Student works with youth in local church and school A group of 12 students from Gardner-Webb University traveled to York, England, over spring break to minister to youth in the local church and school. Led by Mindy Robinson, GWU coordinator for Community Engagement and Student Ministries, and her husband, Chase, the group partnered with UK-USA Ministries/Youth for Christ. A primary focus of their 10-day trip was teaching in the religious studies courses that are part of the Church of England School curriculum. The GWU team shared the parable of “The Rich Fool” from Luke 12:1321 in 16 different classes and presented the gospel to around 600 students, who

identified as agnostic or atheist. Raeanne Sugg, a sophomore from Seagrove, N.C., searched for ways to engage the students, who mostly didn’t want to talk about God. “Eventually, I was able to make connections and get the students thinking about the truths I was providing them,” she offered. “Despite the discouraging moments, some students showed glimpses of hope as they began to understand that what sets Christianity apart from every other religion is the grace of God and what he has done for us.” The younger students asked difficult questions, but Mekenna Boswell, a freshman from Mocksville, N.C., said she was able to find the answers. “I came to recognize that I can confess
God’s name to others and answer the hard questions that were thrown at me,” she observed. “If I could not answer a question confidently, I brought a leader into the group to answer the student's questions and add another perspective.” Maggie Mae Everett, a senior from Medina, Ohio, connected easier, because she is a member of the GWU soccer team. “I was able to reach them and build relationships by merging my passion for soccer with my passion for the gospel, all while extending grace and love to people of all ages and backgrounds,” she offered. “At the youth group session, the afterschool club, and the Friday barbecue, you would find me outside on the pavement playing soccer with about 10-15 kids.”

Coach Ed Guy, ’77 tennis team going into Sports Hall of Fame (Ed Guy and the Western NC Activities Association 1977 state championship KMHS boys tennis team will be inducted into the KM Sports Hall of Fame Sat., May 11 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available at KMHS, Paul Ingram’s Barber Shop and from members of the Hall of Fame committee). When Ed Guy first came to Kings Mountain High School to teach, his desire was also to coach football. He had played football in high school, at Appalachian State and in the Marines. He approached then head coach and athletic director Bill Bates but was told he didn’t have an opening. A year later, Guy was asked by two of his students to coach tennis and Coach Bates allowed him to do so. The Mountaineers had been playing competitive tennis for only a few years, and there was no girls’ tennis. At the advent of Title IX, schools had to offer as many sports for girls and they did for boys and Guy started the girls’ tennis program. “Those days they would stick anybody they could in those positions,” Guy noted. “It was tough at first. The first year Coach Bates bought me two cans of tennis balls. I had to fight to get those balls. It was like pulling teeth.” He would go on to coach boys for 14 years and girls for 13 before going into school administration. He didn’t lose his love for tennis, though, as he returned to the court at every opportunity to see the KMHS teams compete. Even now, in his late 70s, he is still contributing by hosting summer clinics and attending matches and offering his expertise to anyone that asks.
“I really got into tennis because two students of mine had seen me playing out there and said they needed help,” Guy recalled. “I never dreamed I’d be a good coach or a Hall of Fame coach. All the credit goes to the players for their hard work and persistence. The first year I didn’t know a thing about it.” Guy and his teams had only one losing season – the first girls’ season – and won numerous championships. His biggest obstacle for winning championships came from across Buffalo Creek where Shelby High players began their tennis careers as small kids under highly-skilled coaches at City Park. “From the time Tim Riddle came along in the late seventies we were always better,” Guy noted. “Tim made you a good coach, and all of those people make you a Hall of Fame coach. The team is also going into the Hall of Fame, and I am more proud of them than I am for myself. “Tim Riddle was an excellent tennis player, but we had so much depth from top to bottom and that’s why we were such a great team. We had kids that year playing number six and lower that when the seniors aged out we had somebody to move right in and take their job. The boys’ team had strength from top to bottom. I knew we’d win at least 95 percent of the time. One of our losses that year was to Charlotte Latin and all six of their players went to college on tennis scholarships. I don’t know how many of mine went on to play college tennis. I was happy to take the kids we had and help them develop into the players they were.” Guy said it has been an enjoyable experience getting in touch with the players off the 1977 Western NC High School Activities Association championship team, which is going into the Hall of Fame with him. Members of that team
were Tim Riddle, Rick Deaton, the late Scott Summitt, Kevin Morehead, Kenny Boheler, John David Reed, Allen Cloninger, David Lynn, Chris Keeter, Bobby Horne, Tom Cox, Baron Wilson, Scott Brodnax and Kenny Mauney. Riddle was the star of the team. He won the individual association championship his junior year and was third in the state his senior year. At that time, there were not classifications for tennis in the post-season. All players from 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A schools that qualified played for one state championship. Riddle’s junior year he won the WNCHSAA singles championship and his senior year he finished third in the NCHSAA state championship with his only two losses coming to players from 4A schools. Of course, Guy noted, it takes more than one person to win a championship. “I always told my players, no matter what position they played they were important,” he said. Guy said it has been a joy to renew acquaintances with his former players. He has personally contacted all of them – many living in other states – to tell them of their selection to the HOF. “A lot of them have been gone so long they were hard to find,” he said. “We talked for hours reliving old times.” When he was no longer coaching, Guy continued to play and be around tennis. He joined the USTA and played in some singles matches both locally and in tournaments. “I played in a 35 and over tournament in Hickory one time and was leading a guy from Lenoir when it started raining,” he recalled. “We came back out after the rain and he beat me. I learned later that he was a highly-ranked player. “We had a men’s tennis league with other towns around here for a while,” he
Ed Guy may be retired, but almost every day you will see him at the KMHS tennis courts either watching practice or games. noted. “They would come here and we’d go to their place. I always enjoyed that. We had a tournament out at the high school one day and I played singles, doubles, mixed doubles and over 35 singles and doubles. I thought I’d die that Sunday after we finished.” A lot of adults and teenagers would get together weekly to play, and Guy said it was not unusual for him to play doubles matches with some of his players after practice. Guy recalled starting the girls’ tennis program because then-KMHS prin-
cipal Jake Atkinson had a daughter that wanted to play tennis. “I didn’t really want to do it, but he convinced me,” Guy said. “I guess I was an equal opportunity coach.” He was happy he started the girls program, because one day at school two of his players taught him a valuable lesson. “Every day, we would hold boys practice from 3-4:30 p.m., and girls from 4:30-6,” he recalled. “One day it was cold and misty and I went into the office to make an announcement that the boys would prac-
tice but the girls would not. I walked out in the hall and two girls approached me and asked why they couldn’t practice. I tried to explain it but they said they needed it, too. So I went back in the office and changed the announcement. They showed me that they were just as committed to tennis as the boys were. “That first girls’ season was the only losing season we ever had,” he noted. “After that we had good seasons all the way through my coaching career.”

Women’s soccer still undefeated

Kings Mountain High’s women’s soccer team remained undefeated in the Big South last week with a 3-1 victory over Crest at home and a 5-3 win over Stuart Cramer on the road. The Lady Mountaineers, 6-0 in the conference and 7-2 overall, were scheduled to host North Gaston last night and will host South Point in a varsity only match tonight at 6 o’clock.
Lindsey Deaver led the attack last week against Crest with two goals and an assist. Georgia Moss had one goal and an assist. Nicola Bridges, Rece Guy, Olivia Martin and Katherine Martin led the defense. Summer Campbell and Raegan Buchanan were strong in the midfield.
Chargers’ 9-run third inning Girls softball launches 12-0 win over KM beats Cramer Kings Mountain stood toe to toe with two-time defending Western NC champion Crest for two innings in last Tuesday’s Big South 3A Conference baseball game at Lancaster Field. But the Chargers sent 14 batters to the plate in the top of the third and scored nine runs and went on to a 12-0, five-inning win that kept them unbeaten in the BSC race and dropped the Mountaineers to 5-2 and out of a tie for second place. The Chargers got nine of their 11 hits during the third, with a hit batsman leading off the inning and starting the rally. Lawson Harrill’s single to center plated the first run – and the only one needed
for the win – but the Chargers also took advantage of a KM throwing error to plate two more runs. A single by Riley Cash for the fourth and a towering two-run homer over the centerfield fence by Trevor Nanney led to a 6-0 advantage. The Chargers would go on to score on a bases-loaded walk, a wild pitch, and a single by Green before relief pitcher Zach Crawford fanned Harrill to finally get out of the inning. Junior southpaw Jason Cooke, who pitched strong the first two innings, was the victim of the Crest assault and was charged with his first loss of the year. The Chargers added
their final three runs in the fourth on singles by Hoyle and Ledbetter and an infield out. While the Chargers were racking up the runs, their ace southpaw and East Carolina commit CJ Mayhew was limiting the Mountaineers to just one hit, a first inning two-out single by John Harmon Melton. He hit the next batter, Bryce Fisher, to put runners on first and second but that would be the only time the Mountaineers had a runner in scoring position. The Mountaineers would have just two more base runners, both on walks, but one of them was erased on a game-ending double play.
Kings Mountain High’s girls softball team rolled over Stuart Cramer 14-5 in five innings Friday in Belmont. The Lady Mountaineers scored three runs in the top of the first inning when Jozie Nail drove in one run and Emily Graham two. Nail finished with 2-for-3 with three runs batted in, and Nail was 2-for-3 with three runs scored. Irby went 3-for-3 with two RBI and Catie Payne and Brittany Reynolds each had a pair of hits. Payne went the distance on the mound, giving up just two hits and striking out eight. Kings Mountain fell to defending Big South champion Crest 11-1 in a battle for first place Tuesday night at Lancaster Field. Crest jumped to a 2-0
lead in the top of the first inning. The Lady Chargers added three more in the top of the fourth for a 5-0 lead, and KM scored its lone run in the bottom of the fourth. KM collected only four this with Jesse Oehler, Jozie Nail, Catie Payne and Emily Graham getting one apiece. Summer Deaton took the loss on the mound. The week’s results left Kings Mountain in second place in the Big South with a 5-1 conference and 7-2 overall record heading into a game last night against the North Gaston Lady Wildcats.. Crest leads the race with an 8-0 conference and 11-0 overall record.

KM edges Cramer 3-1 Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers bounced back from their loss to first place Crest with a 3-1 victory over Stuart Cramer Friday night in Belmont. The Mountaineers scored two runs in the top of the first inning and that would be enough for Bryce Fisher to nail down the vic-
tory. Fisher went 6.1 innings and sent 10 Cramer batters back to the dugout via the strikeout route. Zach Crawford came on to nail down the final two outs. David Bell led a 7-hit KM plate attack with 2-for3, including a double. Blake Broom had a dou-
ble and two RBIs. Boone Cartee, Cameron Stevens, Crawford and Silas Price added a hit apiece. The Mountaineers carried a 6-2 conference and 9-2 overall mark into a home game last night with second place North Gaston.
JVs fall to Crest Kings Mountain High’s JV baseball team couldn’t overcome an early 7-0 deficit to Crest and fell 10-6 Tuesday at Lancaster Field. The Mountaineers battled back to trim the margin to 7-2 in the bottom of the second and 9-6 after five innings but Crest tacked on a run in the top of the sixth to account for the final margin. Trey Crawford led the Mountaineers with 3-for-4 and one RBI and Jaxson Bolin was 2-for-3 with two RBI. Devin Pressley had two hits, including a home run, and scored two runs. Chris Ruffalo also had two hits. Peyton Fisher, Clinton Turner and Charlie Melton shared pitching duties.

Kings Mountain Middle’s tennis team continued to roll Thursday, shutting out East Rutherford 9-0 for its fourth straight victory. Kings Mountain was scheduled to host Burns yesterday and will entertain RS Central today. The team ends its regular season Thursday at Shelby. Adam Guy won 8-2 at the #1 singles position, playing his best match of the year. “He was in control throughout,” said Coach David McDonald. “He served well. He led the team to an easy win.” Tony Latham also won 8-2 at #2, which he played for the first time. “He started strong and never looked back,” McDonald noted. Hannah McCall won 8-2 at #3. “She stayed very consistent and hit some good shots,” McDonald said. “She took care of business.” Abigail Latham won a marathon at #4, 9-8 (18-16). “She was down 5-7, but kept hanging in to tie the match, which finally went to a tie-breaker,” McDonald noted. “Abigail outlasted her opponent to win.” Melissa Brooks took an 8-1 victory at #5. “She just keeps winning,” McDonald said. “She, like a
lot of other players, has improved greatly, which gives them an advantage over their opponents.” Railey Bolt took the #6 match, 8-3. “This match was never in doubt,” McDonald said. “Railey cruised to an easy win. The latter half of the match, Railey tried hitting more aggressive shots to improve her overall game.” Guy and Latham won 8-3 at #1 doubles. “This team will be hard to beat if they play to their capabilities,” McDonald said. “Good teamwork and great hustle!” McCall and Lillian Lutz took care of business at #2, winning 6-0. “The girls never gave the other team a chance,” McDonald noted. “The other team won very few points. This match was shortened due to time. This is another team that is going to be hard to beat going forward.” Karisa Waldt and Callie Stimpson won the #3 match, 8-6. “They just keep improving and it is seen every match,” McDonald said. “Both girls enjoy playing as a team. “As a coach, it is good to see that the KM tennis players communicate well with each other and support each other, during good and bad play.”

Students, volunteers replace KMMS tennis wall Several volunteers worked all day Saturday replacing the practice backboard at the Kings Mountain Middle tennis court. Retired KMHS tennis coach Ed Guy, members of his family and several others volunteered their time to tear down the old board and replace it. Guy said he noticed two weeks ago that the backboard was falling apart and it was difficult for players to practice. “I offered to take on the project with the help of my son, Jeff, and his family,” Guy noted. “The school funded the cost of materials that were needed to rebuild the wall and I had Lowes deliver them Friday at noon. I had suggested that parents volunteer to work on the project. “Friday was a teacher workday so the tennis players were free, but most parents had to work.” Guy and his grandchil-
dren, Jasmine and Adam Guy, along with Hannah and Hailey McCall and their mother Jen McCall, Karisa Waldt, Railey Bolt and her mother Katie Bolt, and Melissa Brooks and her mother Audrey Brooks started the project. “These tennis players were new to construction work, but jumped in willing to work and learn,” Guy noted. “The first thing was to tear down the old wall and remove it to be hauled away. I did the layout work for the walls, then led by Adam and Jasmine Guy work began on the new walls. We finished the day with wall framing on the pavement ready for Saturday work.” Saturday, several other volunteers came on board, including Jeff and Alba Guy, the McCall family, Katie Bolt and Aubrey Brooks. KMMS tennis coach David McDonald was also on hand to work. The walls were placed

Saturday afternoon volunteers. Photos by Gary Smart against the fence and bolted or attached. Parents and students painted the framing and plywood that would cover the wall. As sections of the wall went up, others
attached the plywood to the framing by using deck screws and screen guns. Most of that work was done by the students. “We finished the proj-
ect in the afternoon and all went home tired but happy,” Guy noted. “This was a tremendous experience for the seventh and eighth grade student/tennis players who
learned to use various tools, paint and build a wall, have fun together and build memories that will be remembered every time they pass the courts.”

Bethware Elementary School students raise $7,000 for two charities During March, Bethware Elementary School students raised money for both the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Through these efforts, students learn the importance of caring for others through service and sacrifice. Bethware Princiapl Amy Jones shared, “We
are proud of our students for raising over $5,000 for AHA and over $2,000 for LLS. Students were rewarded with the satisfaction of helping those in need, but we also celebrated their success with games in the gym. Coach Tripp Roark set up fun activities for them on March 22 and even took a pie to the face!”

Kings Mountain Intermediate School hosts Reading Carnival for students and parents On March 28, KMIS opened their doors and invited their students and families to a Reading Carnival. This carnival was the brain-child of the Title I Interventionists who serve KMIS’ students in reading and math. The Interventionists worked tirelessly to create reading activities that once the students completed were then paired with a game and prizes. Students had a scorecard with each activity listed. Students received a stamp for each completed station that could then be redeemed for snacks and drinks. Parents were provided with a session on how to help their students be successful in school as well as take home strategies and tips for working with their students in reading. Heather Lemmons, Assistant Principal at KMIS, described the event saying, “The attendance for this event was phenomenal, and KMIS is so thankful to all the families and friends who brought their students and participated in this extraordinary event. KMIS is thankful for the support shown by our staff, students, and families.”
The KMIS Reading Carnival was well attended by students and parents. Photos provided by Heather Lemmons

Underutilized Palliative Care Services Can Help Relieve Pain Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about palliative care? My husband suffers from lung disease and is receiving radiation for prostate cancer but is not terminally ill. I’ve heard that palliative care can help him with his pain and discomfort. What can you tell me? Searching Spouse Dear Searching, Palliative care is a very effective service that can help patients relieve the symptoms and stress that often comes with serious illness. But unfortunately, most people don’t know about it, or don’t understand how it can help them. Here’s what you should know. What is Palliative Care? Most people hear the words “palliative care” and think “hospice,” but they are different types of care. Hospice is reserved for when curative treatments have been exhausted and patients have less than six months to live.
Palliative care, on the other hand, is a medical specialty that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping and even depression. It can also help patients deal with the side effects of medical treatment. Anyone with a serious illness can benefit from palliative care, including those with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, HIV/AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and more. Palliative care is provided by a team including palliative care doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists that work with your doctor to provide an extra layer of support and care. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment.
Palliative care teams are trained to help patients understand all their treatment options as well as the quality of life ramifications, so they can make informed decisions about what’s best for them. Often patients assume their doctors will take care of their pain and stress, but most doctors in our specialized medical system have not been well trained in pain and symptom management. That’s why palliative care is invaluable. Palliative care was developed in the United States in the 1990s but only became a formal medical subspecialty in 2008. Today, three-quarters of U.S. hospitals with more than 50 beds have a palliative care program, and 90 percent of hospitals with 300 beds or more offer it. How to Get Care There are around 6 million people in the U.S. that have a need for palliative care, according to the Center to Advance Palliative Care, but most
patients don’t know to ask for it. If you feel that a palliative care specialist could help your husband, start by talking to his doctor and ask for a referral. If your doctor isn’t helpful, go to GetPalliativeCare.org, where you can search for a specialist in your area. Palliative care can be provided in in a variety of places, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, doctor’s clinics and at your own home. You’ll also be happy to know that most private insurance plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid, cover palliative care services. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
