National Poppy Day May 24 With Memorial Day just around the corner, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 155 reminds the public that Congress has proclaimed May 24 as National Poppy Day®. The American Legion encourages all patriotic Americans to wear or display a red poppy as a symbol of remembrance and hope.

“The American Legion Family is pleased to have brought National Poppy Day® to the United States,” said Pat Lemmon, President of American Legion Unit 155.

“Wearing a poppy the Friday before Memorial Day is a reminder to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and is a symbol of hope for the generations to come who will answer our nation’s call to military service.

It is important for Americans to remember that we have an entirely new group of veterans. Supporting them and their families is essential.”

The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed by those who fought and those who continue to fight for our

Duke Energy announces

New solar farms coming to Cleveland County and nearby The American Legion Auxiliary supports local veterans through the sale of poppies before Memorial Day. country following World War I. It was popularized by the publication of the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields.”

Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, M.D. while serving on the front line in World War I, the poem honors soldiers killed in battle.

In 1920, the poppy became the memorial flower of The American Legion Family.

In 2017, the Legion Family called upon Congress to designate the Friday before Memorial Day as National Poppy

Day. Each year, members of The American Legion Family, led by The American Legion Auxiliary, distribute poppies around town with a request that the person receiving the flower donate. All donations received on National Poppy Day® will be used by The American Legion Family to support the future of local veterans, active-duty military personnel and their families with medical and financial needs.

In April, Duke Energy announced that 14 utility-scale projects were selected during an independently judged bidding process – part of a 2017 comprehensive renewable energy law. Those projects are planned in North Carolina and South Carolina, with two in Gaston and Cleveland County.

Cleveland County’s 50-MW project will be located on McGraw Road in Mooresboro. Gaston County’s 25-MW project will be in Bessemer City.

The 14 projects represent the most competitive of the 78 that were submitted when bidding opened last July. The process used was approved by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) to select proj-

ects that would deliver the greatest cost and system benefits to customers.

"As solar energy expands in the Carolinas, the competitive bidding process will lead to better prices and more geographic diversity of projects,” said Rob Caldwell, senior vice president and president of Duke Energy Renewables & Business Development.

“This will enhance Duke Energy’s efforts to promote a cleaner energy mix at lower prices for customers.”

With the winning projects selected, Duke Energy and the winning bidders will execute contracts for the projects over the next few months. Once the contracting process is complete, Duke Energy and

Accion Group will finalize a report of all projects to be filed with the NCUC around June 2019.

“Duke Energy companies will complete six of the 14 winning projects – a strong reflection of how competitive we are in the open market at building renewable energy projects,” added Caldwell.

Most projects are targeted to be online around the end of 2020. However, the dates may vary depending upon local approvals and any construction delays.

According to independent administrator Accion Group, customers will see savings of around $375 million over the 20-year contract period versus the See SOLAR, Page 7A

Truth in Caller ID Act sent to NC Senate for consideration The North Carolina House of Representatives added prohibitions on caller ID spoofing to text message solicitations in the Truth in Caller ID Act approved by a unanimous vote of the chamber last Friday.

House Bill 724 Truth in Caller ID Act is sponsored by North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland), Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln), Rep. Phil Shepard (R-Onslow), and Rep. Chris Humphrey (R-Lenoir).

The bill would prohibit telephone solicitors from causing misleading information to be transmitted to users of caller identification technologies or otherwise block or misrepresent the origin of the telephone solicitation.

Telephone solicitors would be required to use either their contact information or the name and number of the actual entity the sales call is being made on behalf of under the legislation.

“This is going to regulate telephone solicitations made through text communica-

tions as well, so I appreciate your support to deal with this very troublesome issue for our citizens,” said Rep. Chris Humphrey (R-Lenoir).

Current law in North Carolina only prohibits telephone solicitors from knowingly using any method to block or otherwise circumvent a telephone subscriber’s use of a caller identification service.

Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln) said the bill was a commonsense reform to help families and businesses inundated with sales calls.

“We’re not the only state that is struggling with this,” Rep. Saine said. “All are trying to find ways to combat this. This is not a silver bullet, but it does give us a starting point. Citizens should know who is calling them and not have some of our oldest and youngest North Carolinians preyed up.”

Speaker Tim Moore said caller ID transparency would benefit customers and industries because confusing North Carolinians

with misleading phone numbers is not the way to do business in the state.

“I have heard more about this issue than anything else this year,” Speaker Moore said. “It shows what a big problem it is regarding these spoofing phone calls and texts. The constant use of misleading phone numbers by telemarketers and text message solicitors disrupts the daily lives of North Carolinians.”

“For most of us it’s an annoyance, but some people get tricked and lose a lot of money. They get a call thinking it’s a family member or loved one, but it’s someone trying to get money from them.”

“What this does is create an unfair and deceptive trade practice and a private right of action. This bill would protect our North Carolina citizens and customers.”

The bill was sent to the North Carolina Senate for consideration. If passed into law, it would become effective December 1, 2019.

Friday May 17 is the last day to view artwork in the “I Am Woman” exhibit at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain. This competition and exhibit is dedicated to the feminine or the essence of being a woman. Artists from around the region entered over 60 pieces of art paintings, photography and three-dimensional works for this competition. Mark Hamilton, Professor of Fine Arts at Winthrop University judged the show, selecting First, Second, and Third place prizes along with three merit awards.

Mr. Hamilton also offered comments on the winning works of art.

First Place went to Wil Bosbyshell for his graphite piece “Weight #8”.

“This work demonstrated strength in the execution of skill and technique and the woman who symbolically represents the inner-strength of all women.

The bolder that she lifts over her is representative of the human struggle to be our true self. It reminds us to be strong and identify the obstacles we still need to overcome in our personal journey.”

Second Place went to Leah Day for her art quilt “Dream Goddess”. “A wonderful display of color first warms us from a distance and stirs up a range of feelings and emotions.

As we get closer to this work we find all the small nuances of detail and lifeforce contained within the energetic lines of thread.

In the center is the earth mother from whom all life flows and on the reverse side the majestic blue heavens.“ Third Place went to Todd Baxter for his colored pencil drawing “Kassi”.

“Daughter, mother, sister, friend, wife, lover, we do not know the relation of the subject to the artist, however, we recognize the range of emotions and glow of spirit that radiates from the women in our lives.“ Merit Awards were given to Barbara O'Neal Davis for her watercolor “Joyful”, Deborah Winegar for her monoprint “The Good Mother”, and to Lynn Schilling for her watercolor “Taking Note”.

The I AM WOMAN exhibit will be on view in the galleries of Southern Arts Society through May 17, 2019. Southern Arts Society also offers a gift shop with a large variety of original artwork, pottery, jewelry, scarves, wearable art, woodwork and cards for the public to purchase.

for field day at East Elementary. Our students deserved it so much, and it was a blessing to have aid in giving them a special day.

“Because of the community's generosity, students were able to eat Papa John's pizza, drink Powerade, and dance to music as they cheered on their peers during the field day games.

Having the DJ made the day run smoothly as I was able to announce upcoming races and activities. When teacher Christy Campbell called in to the radio station, we could have never predicted the overwhelming backing we received from the community,” he said.

■ MEDITATION

Confident Faith

By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church Gastonia, NC

One of the most important aspects of any Christian’s walk is faith. Our faith is what brings us to Jesus. We come by faith or not at all. Nothing we can do will save us, simply our faith in Jesus can do that.

With faith being so important, what then are some of the essential aspects of faith? One such essential is a confident faith. Do you find yourself to be a person who stands confidently in God, knowing and believing that Jesus is who He says He is, and can do the things He says He can?

1 Kings 18 records a powerful story of a confident prophet, Elijah. Elijah prophesied in Israel during a time of great sinfulness.

The people were far away from God, led by the evil king Ahab and his wicked wife Jezebel. The people were lost in sin and idolatry, worshiping the false Baal and Asherah gods.

Elijah challenged these people to a contest. They gathered on Mt. Carmel, with Elijah against four hundred and fifty Baal prophets, and four hundred prophets of Asherah. They would build two altars and offer a sacrifice. Whoever’s god answered by fire would be the god in Israel.

■ CHURCH BRIEFS Elijah let the false prophets go first. They built an altar and offered a sacrifice, but received no answer. Next Elijah built his altar, and offered his sacrifice. He even had them wet his altar and fill a trench around it with water. He then prayed to God. God answered with fire, consuming the altar and drying up the water.

The people proclaimed, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39, NKJV) Elijah had confident faith. He boldly challenged the enemies of God, believing God would answer him. Like Elijah, we need a faith that is confident, depending on God to work in our lives. Elijah turned his confidence in God into action. He proved once and for all, that God was the

true God in Israel. Today as you walk confidently in God, turn your confidence in God into action. Boldly live and serve Him everywhere you go. Elijah stood confidently, because he knew God went with him.

God never failed Elijah.

You too can go confidently because God will walk with you wherever you go.

During good times, and bad, God will be there.

When Elijah prayed, God answered with fire. Is your faith that confident?

Step out in faith, confident faith, believing that no matter what you face, God will carry you through. Knowing that God goes with you, let that confidence help you tell others about Jesus. May it help you change hearts for Jesus. Live confidently in God today!

Meth bust On the afternoon of Friday, May 10, Cleveland County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested two Virginia women for trafficking 2.1 pounds of methamphetamine found while investigating a suspicious vehicle near 123 Battleground Rd., Grover.

Deputy Matthew Morgan made contact with what he initially believed to be a distressed family on the side of the road. Two women were traveling with their four young children in a Dodge Journey SUV displaying a Virginia license plate. While speaking with the women, the deputy alerted to the smell of marijuana. Further investigation revealed the large quantity of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $30,000, in the vehicle.

Additionally, $6,070 in cash was seized. Deputies also found 20 grams of marijuana, and eight Xanax pills.

The two Virginia residents, both 32, were charged with misdemeanor Child Abuse for trafficking narcotics with their children, from 17 months to 12 years-old, in the vehicle.

Sheriff Alan Norman said, “This incident exemplifies the great work being done by our deputies.

Deputy Morgan initially

HURLEY stopped to check on what he thought was a family in need of help. Instead, what he found were two drug mules. The four children with them were definitely in need of rescue.

To those who think drug use, transport, and sales are victimless crimes, I would respond that these children are absolute victims of the drug trade. They were exposed to great danger, and are now in the custody of Child Protective Services, because of their mothers’ choices. Each time a drug trafficker makes a delivery to a dealer, the prospect of robbery or other violence is high. Fortunately, because of our deputies’ great work, that exposure to violence is no longer a possibility for those children.”

Evidence Seized: Methamphetamine: 2.1 pounds, Marijuana: 20 grams, Xanax: 8 pills,

WATSON Cash: $6,070.07 Arrests: Autumn Danielle Hurley, 1556 Iron Ridge Rd. - Rocky Mount, VA. DOB: May 23, 1987. $250,000 Secured Bond.

Amanda Renae Watson, 3649 Yellow Mountain Road – Roanoke, VA. DOB: September 7, 1987. $250,000 Secured Bond.

Charges: Trafficking Methamphetamine by Possession; Trafficking Methamphetamine by Transport; Possession with Intent to Manufacture PrecursorMethamphetamine; Misdemeanor Child Abuse; Possession of Marijuana (Less than one-half ounce); Possession of Drug Paraphernalia; Possession of Schedule IV Controlled Substance (Xanax)

Two charged On May 6, 2019 Cleveland County Sheriff Deputies arrested Samuel Mason Burns and Michael Dean Young after receiving a report that someone had thrown a large object off of the Peachtree Road overpass on US 74 west. Sheriff’s Deputies who were in the area patrolling responded to the area and located a vehicle fitting the description of the suspect’s vehicle. Deputies stopped the vehicle and found that Burns and Young were the occupants. Deputies also found several large pieces of asphalt in the vehicle which were consistent with the objects that had been dropped on cars traveling along US 74.

The Sheriff’s Office along with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) had responded to seven reports of objects being dropped from the Peachtree Road overpass between April 16, 2019 and May 6, 2019. The Sheriff’s Office investigated four of the complaints and the Highway Patrol investigated the other three reports. The Sheriff’s Office immediately started working with the Highway Patrol to locate the suspects before someone got seriously injured by the falling objects from the overpass.

Sheriff Norman states “We

SAMUEL BURNS

MICHAEL BURNS

have a problem in today’s society of people not understanding the consequences of their actions. We could have easily been looking at two teenagers facing murder charges had an innocent life been taken. We are very lucky to have been able to catch the suspects before such a tragedy could have taken place.”

First Sergeant Joshua E Dowdle (NCSHP) states “We are very fortunate that no one was injured by these senseless acts. These type of cases often go unsolved with no one held responsible. We are very pleased that we were to stop these individuals before someone was seriously injured or killed. This case is a great example of what can happen when law enforcement agencies work together.

I appreciate Sheriff Norman, his deputies and detectives for their work and partnership.”

Samuel Mason Burns: 2119 Curt Ledford Road, Lawndale, NC 28020.

Charged with: 1. Assault w/deadly weapon (7 counts) 2. Damage to personal property (7 counts) 3. Going armed to the terror of the public (7 counts) Michael Dean Burns: 1016 Alpha Drive, Shelby, NC 28152.

Charged with: 1. Assault w/deadly weapon (7 counts) 2. Damage to personal property (7 counts) 3. Going armed to the terror of the public (7 counts)

As you know, the Sheriff’s Office has continued an aggressive campaign to rid Cleveland County of as much narcotics as possible. As we continue to make our community as safe as possible please note our slogan listed below.

Measles vaccine urged in NC With multiple measles outbreaks occurring in the United States, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is encouraging preventive measures and reminding everyone that vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones against measles.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that 764 people from 23 states were confirmed to have measles from Jan. 1 to May 3, 2019. No cases of measles have been identified in North Carolina in 2019, however, outbreaks have recently been reported in Georgia and Tennessee.

"Measles is a highly contagious disease and it spreads quickly in children and adults who are not vaccinated," said State Health Director and DHHS Chief Medical Officer Elizabeth Tilson, M.D. "All North Carolinians should ensure they and their families are up-to-date on their MMR vaccine.”

Measles can be prevented by the combination MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella. Public health experts recommend all children receive two doses of MMR vaccine, with the first dose beginning at 12

months of age and a booster at four to six years of age.

Adults born in 1957 or later who have not already been vaccinated should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine. Certain adults should get two doses, including college students, healthcare workers and people who travel internationally. A second or “booster” dose is not routinely recommended for other adults who have received at least one dose of a measles vaccine.

The Division of Public Health on Tuesday sent a memo to clinicians across North Carolina with recommendations to rapidly identify measles cases and control the spread of infection.

"Vaccines are one of the most important public health successes in protecting the health of our people and preventing disease and death, especially among our most vulnerable community members," said Dr. Tilson. "The science is very clear; the MMR vaccine is highly effective, safe and readily available. We hope these preventable outbreaks will encourage everyone who has not been vaccinated to contact their primary health care provider or local health

The accident happened in the turn lane of US 74 Business as Campbell was exiting the parking lot of Advance Auto.

Property damage was estimated at $3,000.

APRIL 26: Officer D. K. Davis said that Christopher Hopper, Raven Drive, operating a 2000 Mercury, stated that he swerved to miss another driver on Industrial Drive and hit a ditch on the left side of the road. Property damage was minor.

APRIL 27: Officer Brent Herndon said a 2017 Hyundai operated by Khaliha Propst of Shelby backed into a 2011 Nissan operated by Pamela White, Mahogany Lane, in the drivethrough at Hardees. Property damage was minor.

APRIL 29: Officer G. L. McKinney said that Cora Byers, 1001 Phifer Road, operating a 1989 Lincoln, failed to stop for a red light on US 74 Business at Kings Mountain Boulevard and struck a 2015 GMC operated by Jordan Shelton, 1435 Bethlehem Road.

Property damage was estimated at $2200.

MAY 2: Officer J. L. Dee said that William Picklesimer, Lincolnton, operating a 2007 Ford, failed to stop at a stop and go signal and hit a 2010 Jeep operated by a 17-year-old driver who had started into the intersection at NC 161 and East Gold Street. Property damage was estimated at $20,000.

MAY 3: Officer G. L. McKinney said that Tyler Chariker of Clover, SC, operating a 2002 Ford, struck a 2013 Honda operated by Stacy Putnam, 121 Castlerock Road, as he was turning left on US 74 Business. Property damage was minor.

MAY 3: Officer J. Peeler said that Wendy Leigh Postell, 620 Meadowbrook Road, operating a 2006 Ford, struck a 2007 Subaru operated by Ebony Jackson, 228 Morris Street. The accident happened at a stop sign in the parking lot of North Elementary School.

Property damage was estimated at $3,000. department."

Measles is a respiratory disease that is spread through the air by coughing and sneezing. It also can be transmitted through contact with secretions from the nose or mouth of an infected person. Initial symptoms may include fever, runny nose, watery red eyes and cough, and it is followed by a rash that can spread over the entire body. Measles can also lead to pneumonia and other complications, especially in young children. The disease also poses serious risks for pregnant women, including miscarriage and premature birth.

In 2018, North Carolina reported three cases of measles. One case occurred in an unvaccinated traveler who became ill after returning from overseas, and the disease spread to other members of the household. The last large measles outbreak in North Carolina occurred in 2013, when 23 cases occurred after an unvaccinated traveler returned from India to a community with a low vaccination rate.

Check with you doctor to get the vaccine. While local pharmacies can administer it, the drug is in short supply and many don’t have it in stock. You also need a prescription from your doctor, unlike flu shots or shingles vaccines.

8 individuals, team join Hall of Fame Eight individuals and the 1977 KMHS men’s tennis team were inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame at its 32nd annual banquet and ceremony Saturday night at Central United Methodist Church.

The new members bring the total number of inductees to 137.

Marcus Bell, Linda Carpenter and Eddie Payne received Distinguished Service Awards for their longtime support of sports in the schools and community. Fifty-five persons have received that award which began in 2003.

Scholarship recipients were Caleb Barnes, Jeremiah Brown, Aleenih Carter-Kee, Hannah Clark, Sarah Drennan, Nathan

Groves, Isabella Hollifield, Georgia Moss and Natalie Lutz.

One hundred and 48 KMHS seniors have benefitted from the HOF scholarship program, which began in 1997.

This year’s individual inductees included men and women who excelled not just at KMHS but also on the collegiate level. They included Jimmy Brown, the late Don Gladden, Coach Ed Guy, Frank Hopper, Ramey Kerns Bridges, Curtis Pressley, James Robbs and Michael Roberts. Most of them excelled in multiple sports.

Pat Gladden Smith accepted the award for her brother, the late Don Gladden who was a football and track star for the Mountain-

eers in the late 1950s. In 1956 and ’57 he was one of the top 1-2 running back combinations in school history, along with Ken Baity, and as a senior in ’58 he was the school’s third 1,000yard rusher. Baity was the first to top the 1,000 mark in ’56, and repeated in ’57.

Gary Stewart, who inducted Gladden, pointed out that he had “lightning speed and quickness” and just one block from any point on the field would spring him for a touchdown.

Gladden was also a member of the school’s first-ever track team and excelled in running events.

James Robbs, another star from the late 50s and 1960, was and outstanding See HALL OF FAME, Page 3B

KM spring sports teams eliminated from playoffs The post-season didn’t last long for KMHS baseball, softball and soccer teams. The baseball and softball teams were eliminated in the first round and the soccer team fell in the second round.

The kickers won their opening round game Tuesday over St. Stephens 3-0 but fell Friday night to a very good Watauga team, 3-1.

Still, the Lady Mountaineers had another in a long line of conference championships, winning their fourth straight under veteran coach Erik Price.

Senior Sarah Drennan, who ended the year as KM’s leading scorer, scored all three of their offense’s goals in the playoffs. She had two in the win over St. Stephens. The other – the first of the game – came during a scramble for the ball and a St. Stephens player kicked the ball into the KM net.

Olivia Martin provided two assists and Kala Buchanan one.

Baylee Marr and Kennedy Barnes shared time in goal.

The Lady Mountaineers got off to a slow start Friday against Watauga, due mainly to an outstanding defensive effort by the Lady Pioneers.

Watauga took a 1-0 lead with just one minute and nine seconds gone off the clock when, in a scramble for the ball in front of the goal Watauga standout Lilly Suyao kicked a slow roller that managed to get past Marr and into the net.

The visitors appeared to have scored again moments later, but it was nullified because of a penalty.

Kings Mountain didn’t get many good looks in the first half. Several long attempts were either outside the goal or saved by the Watauga goalkeeper.

Kings Mountain got back into the game with 30 minutes remaining when Drennan drilled a penalty kick into the net.

The tie didn’t last long, though. With just over 16 minutes remaining Brelyn Surgile put the visitors back on top 2-1, and just a minute and a half later Suyaco drilled a left-footer to account for the final margin.

The KM baseball team fell to North Gaston 7-1 to finish its season with a 15-10 overall record. It was North’s fourth win over the Mountaineers this season.

The Wildcats went up 1-0 in the fourth inning on a squeeze bunt by Adam Anderson and went on to score four more runs on a double by Luke Bumgardner, single by Will Farnsworth, and an error.

KM’s only run came on an RBI single by John Harmon Melton, who finished with two hits in four trips.

three-sport star in football, baseball and basketball. He held the school passing record before future Appalachian State All-American Pat Murphy came on the scene a few years later.

A shortstop, Robbs helped the Post 155 American Legion Juniors to the Area IV finals in 1959.

Coach Ed Guy inducted his 1977 Western NC champion tennis team, which was led by all-state star Tim Riddle who later along with one of Guy’s former female standouts Karen Ledford Roberts inducted Guy as an individual.

The ’77 team lost only two games – one to national power Charlotte Latin and the other to county rival Shelby – but the Mountaineers went 17-2 overall with Riddle and the team winning the association championship.

Guy admitted not knowing anything about coaching tennis when two students asked him to coach them in 1971, and athletic director Bill Bates was happy to let him.

The next year, at the urging of former Principal Jake Atkinson, Guy started the girls program. He led the teams for 14 years but can still be seen at most tennis matches at KMHS and KMMS, and each summer he holds a clinic for young tennis hopefuls.

“Ed Guy played a critical role in a lot of students’ lives – in tennis and in life,” noted Roberts.

The KM ‘guys’ won the Association, but Riddle and others were quick to point out that he put just as much effort into coaching girls.

“I went back over his records and his winning percentage for boys was 80 percent and his winning

percentage for girls was 80 percent,” Riddle noted. “He didn’t slight one over the other.”

HOF inductee Carl Smith inducted his friend and KMHS teammate Jimmy “Smoke” Brown. He said he was often asked who was the best point guard he ever played against, and he always answered Jimmy Brown, in practice.

During their time at KMHS in the early 80s, Coach John Blalock did not believe in playing people at two different positions so Brown, who had played the point in junior high, was Smith’s back-up.

“Smoke was considering transferring,” Smith noted, “and my heart dropped. I wasn’t thinking about basketball, I was thinking about losing a friend.”

Brown stayed and had some outstanding games as a back-up as well as a starter during times when Smith was injured. He was not recruited, but Smith was and every time Smith went on a recruiting trip he took Brown along.

Brown was impressed with Limestone, and with the help of his teacher Betty Gamble and Limestone president Bill Briggs, a KM native, he was accepted and went out for basketball as a walk-on.

Very early in his career he was red-shirted, but later got his chance to play against Gardner-Webb in the WBTV Classic. He had a spectacular game and ended up starting every game after that. He finished his career with several school records and was recently rated as one of the school’s all-time top 40 players.

Frank Hopper, inducted by former KMHS coach Dave Farquharson, has always been a man of few words. He just did his job on the field and no defensive linemen in KMHS history has done it any better.

Farquharson trained

Kevin Mack tries to coax his putt into the hole on #9. many offensive linemen such as Hopper, Kareem Marshall, Andy Leigh and Rico Feemster, when he was PE teacher at Grover Elementary. When those guys moved up to KMHS, new coach Ron Massey was putting in a two-platoon system and Hopper was moved to defensive line.

“Grover produced more players during that time than any other,” Farquharson noted. “Not just those linemen, but a lot of the Bells were from Grover. It’s unbelievable that a small town like Grover can produce so many great athletes.

“Frank was the silent one of the bunch,” Farquharson added. “He let his presence be felt on the field. He demanded respect. When it came his time to play, he played.”

Hopper and Farquharson credited Aubrey Hollifield, who was the defensive line coach at the time, with bringing out the best in him.

Farquharson pointed out that Hopper once made 15 solo tackles in a game – still a school record.

Hopper had a great freshman and sophomore year at East Tennessee State before suffering a career-ending concussion. He is now defensive line coach at a high school in Jonesboro, TN, where his son is one of his players.

Hopper thanked Hollifield for instilling in him a work ethic that made him “the player that I was.” He encouraged young players in attendance to “protect yourself, and listen to your coaches.”

Former KMHS soccer coach Dan Potter inducted Bridges, who was an All-American at ETSU and is now head soccer coach at KMMS and assistant at KMHS. Her final year at ETSU, where she graduated in three years, she led the nation in scoring.

“She had the ability to score,” Potter said. “She was

incredible. She shot the ball harder than most and she could do with either foot.

“She was competitive.

Some players are game players and some practice players.

She was both. She was so competitive in practice she made the others lift up their game.

“She had the ability to push her teammates and encourage them to work harder, and she would congratulate them when they did well.

“Sometimes when you have a great player they have an ego,” he added. “But she was always down to earth.

She just did her job.”

Curtis Pressley, a standout football player at KMHS and Gardner-Webb, was inducted by his longtime friend and neighbor Arnold Jordan. Both men mentioned how they were always playing football in the street.

Jordan noted that Pressley played on two undefeated teams at KM Junior High, then stood out as a running back at KMHS and linebacker at GWU. “If anybody deserves this honor, it’s him,” Jordan said.

Pressley thanked his friends, family, KMHS and GWU coaches and others for giving him the opportunity to play.

“This city has afforded me to do a lot of things,” he said.

“This is definitely an honor, but I never imaged that I would be on this stage at this time; perhaps later in life. A lot of people took me under their wing and made me feel important. I had a great offensive line (at KMHS). It was real easy to run behind those guys.”

Mike Roberts, who held the all-time KMHS total offense records until Kaylon Wade broke them last fall, was inducted by KMHS head coach Greg Lloyd, who noted that when he first met the team in 2007 a skinny young kid came up to him and told

him “My name is Mike Mike.

I’m your quarterback,” “I looked at his skinny legs and thought ‘I’m not so sure about that,” but it didn’t take long to realize he had a player.

“He was wonderful,” Lloyd said. “He was tough.

He was coachable. He played hard and he was his best in the biggest moments.

“He is one of the best quarterbacks I’ve ever seen, if not the most talented player I’ve ever coached,” Lloyd said.

“He is very intelligent. He had a strong arm, and probably the best dual threat player you’ll see in high school.”

During his senior year of ’08, Roberts led the Mountaineers to their first conference championship since 1998. They shutout arch rival Shelby 20-0 and demolished a good Burns team by 40 points.

In a tough playoff opener against Hickory, a three-overtime win over Mooresville, and a memorable 56-55 win over Anson County, Roberts was unstoppable. That Anson team featured linebacker Stephon Anthony, who was an All-American and first round NFL draft choice at Clemson.

His Clemson jersey is still displayed at the Burger King in Wadesboro.

“Top to bottom they were bigger and faster than any team we played,” Lloyd pointed out. “After we went up 56-55, we stopped a two-

point play to end the game.”

Not many people besides Roberts and the coaches knew it, but Roberts tore his meniscus in that game. With a Western championship meeting with Kannapolis coming up the next week, the Mountaineers kept it quite.

KM took all but five seconds off the first quarter clock on a 22-play drive that put them up 7-0.

“Michael didn’t run a single play, and they figured out that he was hurt and they took advantage of it and beat us,” Lloyd noted.

Lloyd said one of Roberts’ biggest attributes was that he worked hard and his teammates noticed it.

“Players like him make you a good coach,” Lloyd said. “I was a good coach that year.”

Roberts said many coaches like Lloyd, the late Jeff Putnam and Farquharson, who was his head coach his freshman and sophomore years, inspired him.

Roberts, who played at Georgia Military and last year led the KM Force to the national championship, said Lloyd was one of the best coaches he ever had.

“He always lifted me up,” he said. “I love what he’s doing in the community.”

Megan Allen – Beyond the Classroom Songaila to participate in Young Leaders Conference This summer Meile Songaila will join outstanding middle school students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience – Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, DC. Junior National Young Leaders conference is one of the Envision family of programs that enable students to explore their interest and to experience learning beyond the classroom.

Meile was nominated to attend the forum by her seventh grade math teacher, Mr. Trey Robinson at Kings Mountain Middle School. In addition to participating with the schools Educational Battle of the books team (E-BOB), she has made the A honor roll consistently throughout school. Meile is also passionate about sports and plays volleyball on a top 30 national ranked team (upwards stars). She was offensive MVP on the Kings Mountain Middle School volleyball team this year.

MEILE SONGAILA Meile is a life member of CAR (National Society of Children of the American revolution). Meile loves to read and learn. She is looking forward to gaining knowledge of important concepts of leadership that will further prepare her for academic success: communication, goal setting, problem solving and teamwork.

“As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Meile to meet, work and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision. “hands down, my favorite part

of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At the Junior National Young Leaders Conference, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel in high school, college and the workplace. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges and with new people, which, given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.

Since 1985, Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students in more than 145 countries, with programs designed to help stuents develop the leadership and career skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive college and career landscape.

Delta Tau's Megan Allen was featured in the recent Beyond the Classroom Art Event, an art exhibit through the Cleveland County Arts Council. Megan teaches Art at Jefferson and James Love Elementary Schools.

Several pieces of her artwork were showcased at this recent event, which featured artwork from teachers in Cleveland County.

One of Megan's pieces featured a drawing of her nephew.

Delta Tau member, Windy Bagwell said, “We are very proud of how Megan uses her strengths and talents in her schools and her community. Megan is very involved through Delta Tau as she supports the Beginning Teachers in Cleveland County Schools.”
