Artificial turf planned for Gamble Stadium, new tennis facility approved by KMTD Club The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club voted last week to raise $1.6 million for new tennis courts at KM High and artificial turf for John Gamble Stadium. President David Brinkley is asking everyone in the community to contribute to the project, which is being financed over a five-year period. However, Brinkley said, if the community supports this project as well as it did previous ones it will be paid off much sooner than that. The tennis courts will
be completely demolished, and all the sod removed and playing field being prepared for the turf immediately after graduation on June 10. “All of our athletic facilities were built in the mid to late 60s, and for the most part have not been upgraded,” Brinkley said. “The reason we looked at artificial turf is because the football stadium is used by multiple programs, including soccer, middle school football, KM Elite, and the band. When it rains the band is out there marching
on a sloppy field.” Upkeep on the grass football field is over $50,000 a year, Brinkley noted. “The turf is going to be very beneficial,” he said. “It’s a big upgrade for our teams. If it’s raining and not lightning they can continue to practice on a nice field instead of in the mud. Lacrosse is becoming popular all over the state and it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes to Kings Mountain. “Our track was built in 1974. It was designed for a

440 and they don’t run a 440 anymore. It’s 400 meters. If we were to break a state record on our track right now it would not be recognized by the State athletic association.” Brinkley said the tennis court has been an issue for years. “It was built in the sixties and there’s a six-foot drop off from top to bottom,” he said. “It’s not just used by our boys and girls but by the public.” Brinkley said it’s the Touchdown Club’s goal to eventually upgrade every ath-
letic facility on campus. “This is a brand new era and we try to reach the needs of people in several sports,” he said. “The turf has the capacity to reduce the heat on the field from 30 to 50 degrees. Safety for our children is another issue we looked at. This is a project for everybody. We’re not about just fixing up one of them.” Brinkley pointed out that the club has spent over $3 million in its 12 year existence. The new field house cost $950,000 and was paid
off in three years; the concession stand and restrooms cost $485,000 and were paid off in two years, and the weight room was $200,000 and will be paid off soon after just 12 months. “This is another project for everybody,” he said. “This is not just about fixing up one of them. We’re asking for a five-year pledge where people can give a lump sum or do a monthly bank draft. I know the people will support this.” See KMTD, Page 7A
KMPD focuses on speeders By Loretta Cozart Kings Mountain Police Department continues to focus on enforcement of speed violations, especially in school zones across the city. Chief Lisa Proctor asks, “KMPD Officers have been issuing tickets to many individuals driving well over the speed limit in our school zones, even ones speeding over 60-mph in a 25-mph zone. How much is your life, or the life of another, worth? Slow down! “KMPD will continue to protect our children as they travel to and from school by enforcing the speed limit. I ask the community to assist us by doing their part to slow down. Saving five to ten minutes of time is not worth losing a life,” Chief Proctor said. The Department will also participate in the Click it or Ticket it Campaign with the Governor’s Highway Safety Program, that runs May 20th through June 2nd. Make sure you and your children buckle up! During Click It or Ticket campaigns, law enforcement agencies increase the number of patrols and officers in an area, set up checking stations and use local media to reach

Violators of North Carolina’s seat belt law are fined $179 (or $263 if a passenger under age 15 is not properly restrained). North Carolina’s Click It or Ticket campaign was the first in the nation and is now used as the model by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Even with its success, more than 11,900 people have lost their lives since 1993 because they did not take the three seconds to buckle up. Chief Proctor said, “We want our citizens to have a safe and happy Memorial Day and we are going to do our part to keep our roads safe as you travel.”

Harbor in Florida. Still was commissioned to create two masterworks honoring the Belleview Inn's importance to the history of the Tampa Bay area. The first work, A New Day, a 60-inch-by-108-inch oil painting hangs in the lobby near the Belleview Inn's reception desk. The painting depicts the 1897 hotel as it looked when it was first opened as part of Henry Plant's system of railroads, steamships, and hotels. The artwork depicts the morning sun illuminating the hotel and its west balcony. Queen of the Gulf, Still's six foot-by-5-foot second painting, depicts symbols from the lives of many of the hotel's former guests. There are 54 items in the painting, each with its significance to the hotel’s history. The three-year project has kept Christopher Still occupied, and he is eager to resume painting in his home state of Florida. Still's works have been recognized nationally and internationally, some having been on display at the Smithsonian, the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Art, the Florida Governor's Mansion, and the chambers of the Florida House of Representatives. He was also selected to paint the official gubernatorial portrait for Governor Lawton Chiles. Still was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame and is the Artist in Residence for the Florida Legislature. In recognition of his significant and humane contributions to Florida State University and the citizens of Florida. Florida State University presented Tarpon Springs artist Christopher Still an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree. Still is the grandson of the

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. –John Carmack
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Cozart I recently discovered a document in GooCOZART gle Books entitled The Affair at Kings Mountain, written by John Watts De Peyster. De Peyster states that Major Ferguson did not die at the end of the battle, as we were told. Using contemporaneous military documents, De Peyster cites both American and British records to argue his point. Abraham De Peyster was second in command at the Battle of Kings Mountain, but I cannot determine if the two men were related. They were
both from New York City from different generations and both were military men. John Watts De Peyster was an American citizen who served in both the Mexican American War and the Civil War. He wrote on the Revolutionary War and Civil War history and was a respected military author of his time. This document was published in the Magazine of American History in December of 1880, the centennial year of the Battle of Kings Mountain. Attached to his article are all the supporting documents used for citations. One account De Peyster uses is taken
from General Lenoir who was then a Captain under Major Winston’s command. He wrote to correct, “accounts of the battle (Kings Mountain) which are very erroneous” and states, “Colonel Ferguson had seven or eight bullets shot through him, and (sic) fell some time before the battle was over.” De Peyster goes on to write, “If General Graham, in his plan of the battle, locates correctly the spot where Ferguson fell, it is not unlikely that he was shot down in repelling one of the effective charges at the west end of the summit, opposing the advance of the left under Cleveland.
It is conceded on all sides that Ferguson might have burst through the American forces when his lieutenant drove their first attack down the slope in the direction of Tarleton and Cornwallis, as the latter advised him to do.” According to De Peyster, “Shelby said Ferguson was killed about 100 yards down the western end of the mountain. General Graham, in his drawing made on the spot, locates the place where the British Commander fell, on the summit, directly opposite the South Carolina regiment of Williams, so that it is very likely the two may have fallen
near together, but not at the same time.” British accounts also support John De Peyster’s argument. A subordinate of Abraham De Peyster testified in Charleston on January 30, 1781, “We lost, early in the action, Major Ferguson, of the 71st Regiment.” And Ferguson’s obituary notice in Rivington’s Royal Gazette (New York) dated February 25, 1781 begins, “On the death of Maj. Patrick Ferguson, who was killed early in the action at King’s Mountain, South Carolina.” Aside from Lyman C. Draper’s Kings Mountain and It’s Heroes account of the battle, this
is the most exhaustive research I have read regarding the battle. And this argument brings several issues into question beyond when Ferguson was killed during the battle. Current thought is that Major Patrick Ferguson died late in the action and the battle was subsequently lost. Which account is correct? We may never know. But if you’d like to read De Peyster’s account yourself, it is available on Google Books at https:// books.google.com. Search for The Affair at King’s Mountain. Settle in for a long and interesting read.

This past winter, my husband and I each predicted what the first night would be that we could sleep with the windows open. Happily we were both far off, our minds still set to New England, when nighttime lows are still usually in the forties well into May. It’s been windows-open weather here for weeks and weeks now, and we’re loving it. Feeling like the inside is outside enlivens the senses. Nothing is better than that first night in the spring when you don’t have to shut the window after a warm day. Impatient to turn the heat off and reluctant to start using the air conditioner, you’ll find all the windows in our house open as early as possible. When it’s about fifty five degrees, a bit of chill in the air, my mom will say “good sleepin’ weather tonight!” That first night, lying in bed with a little breeze coming in, we’re reminded how loud the train is, and how early in the season crickets begin chirping down south. A single pinecone outside the window falling into the

pile of suede-covered magnolia leaves below sounds louder than you might think. Nighttime is quiet, with the rustle of a small animal now and again, and of course the hooting owls. But the biggest treat of windows-open sleeping comes early the next morning, with the dawn chorus. What a remarkable time of day! There is the first Cardinal, a soloist, who cannot help but start his song before 5am, as impatient to sing as we are to have the windows open. He has the stage to himself for a while, inspiring the robins to begin next. Then more cardinals and more robins pipe in, until it’s quite a cacophony; but if you really concentrate and listen carefully, you can pick out the different songs. Then the Carolina Wren kicks in full blast, and you can hear him move around the yard, the origin of his rambunctious call constantly changing. The resident Brown Thrashers follow, almost as impressive at mimicry as their cousins the Catbirds and Mockingbirds, working through a fine repertoire: car alarm, cardinal, wren (as if his song See BACKDOOR, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION
The Sun Will Come Out! By Rev. Ron Tippens First Presbyterian Church Some years ago there was a very popular Broadway musical called “Annie” and then of course there was the movie, another movie and yet another. Do you remember the story? An orphan girl by the name of Annie, who had a very “hard knock” life ends up becoming a beautiful ray of sunshine in the lives of many people. These peope ranged from other little ragged orphan girls to billionaire Daddy Warbucks to F.D. Roosevelt. There is a song from Annie that can’t but help make you smile. A song that became a ray of hope to people lost in discouragement because of bad people and heart breaking
times. The song is “Tomorrow!” The sun will come out tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow there will be sun Just thinking about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow. When I’m stuck with a day that’s gray and lonely I just keep up my chin and grin and say, The sun will come out tomorrow. It’s only a day away! That song makes me feel good! It helps me to stay on the “sunny side of life” as Mother Mabel used to say. The song speaks to where at times I find my heart: in a gray and sad place. This is
why such a simple little song speaks to me and many others. Many of us know what it is like to be waiting for the sun to come out again - the times of waiting to see if things will ever work out and that tomorrow will indeed come. For some those times of waiting include walking through a valley of depression. Others are waiting to see if they will ever recover after personal devastating news or the loss of a dear loved one. The “prosperity gospel” we hear directed to us on TV is wrong. Our faith in God does not exempt us from the often harsh realities that all humanity struggles with. Many people that I know who are devout believers and love God with their whole beings
are waiting, in the midst of suffering, of the pain of death, in the midst of shattered dreams…waiting for the sun to come out tomorrow. Fellow believers (and those yet to believe) I remind you… The Son has come out! The Son is shining now! The Son will always shine! “On those who dwelt in a land of day darkness the light has shined.” CHRIST IS RISEN!! The physical sun will one day burn itself out. The Son will always be. “For heaven and earth shall pass away but the Word of our God remains forever.”

down Club for voting unanimously to approve these projects and know the businesses and individuals in the community will continue their support. “The subcontractors plan to be done by our first football game on August 23. The tennis courts will be completed except for lights, and we won’t have any night matches until October. “We just need everybody to get involved. We’ve set up a five-year pledge program. We will start our 13th season in July. We’re not just about football. We have been fortunate to improve most of our sports and people are seeing the results. We’re trying to build facilities that will last a long, long time. “The exciting thing for the Touchdown Club is that we’re bringing all sports together. Even though our name is Touchdown Club it’s not just football. We support every program. “The football stadium is a multi-purpose facility. The wear and tear has greatly damaged the field as well as the tennis courts.” “The tennis project will
include six courts instead of the current five, new fencing, three units of two courts each with 30 feet between each one so spectators will have space to sit and watch the action; locker rooms for the players and restrooms for the players and spectators. This project is pretty exciting. “We’re hoping to get the city behind us and help us with poles and permits for these projects,” he added. “We won’t have a lot of inkind gifts so we hope to have 15 to 20 people that will be willing to reach out and touch other people and raise the funds. I’m looking for volunteers. “This is pretty exciting. It will take us to another level. We’re not trying to compete with other schools in the county on facilities, we’re competing with ourselves. Future golf tournaments will go to this project. At our golf tournament a couple weeks ago we raised $72,000 which will almost payoff the weight room debt. “We want to see all of our children get better in sports and academics,” he added. “We have a lot of students involved in sports. My dream would be to get a thousand people involved in this project. Everybody can’t give a big lump sum, but hopefully can do a bank draft every week or every month to help
us make the payments. “There are a lot of good people in Kings Mountain. It’s really exciting what we’re doing. The citizens have always been involved in sports and band. It’s exciting to improve facilities built in the ‘60s and ‘70s. It’s a shame that the state doesn’t give money to improve old facilities. They want to give it to new schools. “Facilities get old,” he added. “We got lucky when we started the Touchdown Club. Everybody has supported us. I couldn’t be happier with the people of this town. We have something special here. A lot of good people have helped us. Most schools don’t have what we have. “A state championship is coming to Kings Mountain. We have had some winning programs but have not had the consistency like we have now. Our whole program has improved drastically since the Touchdown Club was formed. We’ve done things for every sport. It’s exciting. “I would like to challenge everyone to get involved in this project. I’ve always been one that likes a challenge. We can raise $1.6 million. People will support us. We will do this and then go on to our next project.”
From Page 1A There are naming rights associated. Those interested are urged to contact Brinkley. In addition to building projects, Brinkley noted that the TD Club has purchased uniforms, provided meals, rented buses for numerous teams, put a new roof on the weight room, painted the weight room and put a new trophy case in the field house. “I am really proud of our accomplishments,” he said. “The community has gotten involved in all of them. All of the improvement of facilities is for the athletes, and we hope when we get this project behind us we can get a new press box and improved seating. “Cleveland County is the top sports county in the state,” he said, “and we’ve set the standard to be as big as anybody. We have the best field house, the best weight room, the best concession stand and now we’re going to have the best football field and tennis courts. “I appreciate the Touch-

Drug bust in Shelby On May 15, 2019 Investigators with the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office conducted an operation that led to the seizure of 237 grams of Methamphetamine, 14 grams of Cocaine, $3200 in cash and a handgun.

year, raising $2.1 million nationwide. The red poppy symbolizes the blood shed by those who fought and those who continue to fight for our country following World War I. 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. Remember the veterans who have sacrificed much for our freedoms. Even the smallest of donations, combined with those of others, has a huge impact. 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.

On Memorial Day and Veterans Day, millions of red crepe paper poppies—all handmade by veterans as part of their therapeutic rehabilitation—are distributed across the country in exchange for donations that go directly to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in our communities. The financial benefit realized by our nation’s veterans as a result of poppy distribution is huge; nearly 3.5 million American Legion Auxiliary poppies were distributed by units last

The Eastern Towhees seem to be the last vocalists, with their simple but beautiful “drink-your-tea” melody. What a lovely wake-up call! Each region has its own unique dawn chorus. One thing I do miss about a summer Massachusetts morning is the melancholy call of the Wood Thrush, floating in the window from the damp, dark woods, a sound Henry David Thoreau described as “a pure and unmatchable melody.” I think to truly know a place you must become familiar with the songs of the resident birds, to open your windows and learn the dawn chorus. When I think back to the places I have lived, I can remember vividly the sounds I heard, half asleep and drowsy in spring and summer mornings: Ring-Necked Pheasants in the cornfield as a child in rural New Jersey, the rustling wings and cooing of Wood Pigeons at college in England, the Wood Thrush in Massachusetts as I lay in bed next to my newborn daughter. And now, here in Kings Mountain, it is the hoot of the Barred Owl, the whistles and gurgles of the Catbird, and the Towhees calling me to wake up, welcoming me home.

KMHS soccer seniors go undefeated in conference for four years in a row
Lady Mountaineer senior Raegan Buchanan, who will be going off to play college soccer next season, was the Big South 3A Conference Defensive Player of the Year. fender. She was very strong. She was a very good center back. This year we moved her to play some holding defense middle for us. She had a great senior year. This was by far her best season. She very rarely came off the field. She was a really hard worker in the off-season and weight room.” Buchanan was this year’s Big South Defensive Player of the Year and plans to continue her soccer career in college. Baylee Marr was KM’s goal keeper, and a very good one. “She is going to Converse College to play soccer,” Coach Price noted. “She was a three-year starter. Her freshman year a senior started in front of her but she’s been the starter the past three years.” Olivia Martin was a fouryear defender, Price said. “She is another strong defender on the back line,” he noted. “She won a lot of fifty-fifty balls and kept the ball in play for us.” Nicola Bridges was another good defender. “She was a very fast center back,” Price noted. “She was a starter her ninth and tenth grade years and ran track her junior year. She came back as a senior so she was a three-year starter.” Hannah Clark, KM’s all-time leading basketball scorer, came out for soccer this spring. “She gave us a lot of good minutes, and got to score a couple of goals,” Price noted. “For somebody that hadn’t played, just from her basketball knowledge she knew what to do. She was very fast.” Ma-Kayla Smith played two years on varsity after playing JVs her freshman and sophomore years. “She gave us a lot of minutes off the bench,” Price said. “She was really fast
and strong.” The nine other team members who will be returning next season are sophomores Katherine Martin, Emma Goff, Rece Guy, Emma Herndon, and Kennedy Barnes; juniors Carly Johnson and Summer Campbell, and freshmen Cheyanne Ernst and Sage Wright. Price is looking for all of them to have good seasons, and will be looking to some players to come up from JVs to round out the team. “These younger girls understand the system,” he said. “We’re really looking forward to Johnson and Campbell to step into senior leadership roles next year. It really helps that they have been with the program for three years. They know what to expect.” Price has been the soccer coach for eight years and the program has grown tremendously under his leadership. His first year, 2012, the team went just 5-7 in the conference and 6-11 overall and in ’13 the Lady Mountaineers improved to 6-5-1 in the conference and 10-12-1 overall. Since that time they have not had a losing season and their overall record under Price is 119-45-4. In the past four years their overall record is 75-14-2. Price gives a lot of credit to his assistant coaches Ramey Kerns Bridges and Amber Smith, and JV coach Emily Rice. “Ramey was my assistant for three or four years,” he said. “She had to take a break this year because she was expecting. Amber Smith took over Ramey’s role this year. They both have been helping me for four or five years. Both coached the girls in middle school so they’ve been with this senior class for six years.” Price coached his daughter Makayla for three years, and his son Silas will be a
senior player in the fall. “I’ve been lucky to coach both of them,” he noted. Despite having a lot of holes to fill, Price is looking forward to next season. “A lot of people will be moving around into new roles so that will take a bit of extra time,” he said. “A lot of them play club soccer, too.” This fourth straight unbeaten season was no surprise to Coach Price. “I knew this year was a good group,” he added. “There was a lot of hype going into the season. “I ramped up the schedule a little bit to see how they could hold up,” he added. “They stepped up to the challenge. Halfway through their freshman year I realized we had a good group and they got better each season. We’re hoping to go farther in the playoffs next year, but Watauga was a very good team. They were big, physical, well-coached and very disciplined. “When these girls came up I knew they were a special group. It’s been a lot of fun. What they have done has been special. They knew how to stay focused. Many teams can’t say that. “This season was a lot of fun. We had a great group of parents that made it even more enjoyable. The parent support made everything run so much smoother.” Can Kings Mountain make it five championships in a row next season? And, can the senior girls keep that unbeaten conference record intact? Well, no one knows, but: “Our senior girls have made it very clear to the younger girls that they better not lose,” Price said. “We’re going to set the bar right there.”
Kings Mountain High soccer coach Erik Price has led his women’s team to four consecutive conference championships, and during that time the Lady Mountaineers were 59-0-1.
7 KM players all-conference Kings Mountain placed seven players on the All-Big South Conference soccer team this spring and also had the co-coach of the year in Erik Price. Price, whose team won its fourth straight conference championship, shared the honor with Jack Earl of Burns whose team showed tremendous improvement over last season.
Kings Mountain also had the Big South Defensive Player of the Year in senior Raegan Buchanan. Offensive Player of the Year was Madison Humphries of Crest. Lady Mountaineers joining Buchanan on the All-Big South team were Lindsey Deaver, Georgia Moss, Sarah Drennan, Rece Guy, Summer Campbell and Baylee Marr.
KINGS MOUNTAIN MOUNTAINEERS ATHLETE
OF THE
WEEK
TITUS PHILLIPS TRACK ©CommunityFirstMedia
Kings Mountain High has had a lot of memorable seasons during its almost 100-year history, winning championships in every sport and multiple championships in many. But, perhaps no team in school history accomplished what the KMHS women’s soccer team did over the past four seasons. From 2016 through the recently-completed 2019 season, the Lady Mountaineers not only won four consecutive championships – two in the SMAC and two in the Big South – but did it with undefeated conference records. The senior members of the 2019 team who played varsity for all four of their high school years left the field after the recent NCHSAA state playoff loss to Watauga disappointed, but will long be remembered for their 59-0-1 record against conference opponents. It all started in ’16 with a perfect 16-0 record in the SMAC, followed by another 16-0 mark and SMAC championship in ’17. The team was assigned to the Big South in 2018 and they finished 13-01, and followed that up this past season with a 14-0 record. “Most of this group of seniors came in as freshmen,” noted Coach Erik Price. “They have been playing together for a long time. They knew each other. They had a lot of talent in their class, and along with the other players was just a special group. “One thing about these girls is that they were very coachable,” he added. “Anything we asked them to do they were all in. They would listen and ask questions, and did exactly what they needed to do. When you’d draw up a play they would execute it.” The seniors who were a part of this year’s championship – and most all four years - included Lindsey Deaver, Georgia Moss, Reagan Buchanan, Sarah Drennan, Baylee Marr, Olivia Martin, Nicola Bridges, Hannah Clark and Ma-Kayla Smith. Coach Price had nothing but praise for all of them, not just as soccer players but as good students and good people. “Lindsey Deaver had a really good season this year, and she had a great career,” Price noted. “She scored over a hundred goals during her career even though she missed a season with an injury. Her total career was definitely outstanding. She had a great work ethic and could put the ball in the back of the net with the left foot, right foot or with her head. “She missed the last regular season game and both playoff games this year with a concussion that she suffered in the last regular season home game against Cramer,” he added, “We would have had her back if we had made it to the next round of the playoffs. “She would have been a four-year starter if she hadn’t been injured.” “Georgia Moss’s strength was that she is very versatile,” Price noted. “She played a lot of positions over a four-year period, sometimes in the same game. “She was a hard worker. She plays a very good diagonal ball all over the field. She will be going to USCAiken to play soccer.” “Raegan Buchanan was a four-year starter on defense,” he noted. “She played the first three as a de-

Mike Huffstickler with his high school coach Bill Bates at Salute to Bill Bates Night at Kings Mountain Senior Center.
Mike Huffstickler, one of KM’s all-time greats, dies after long battle with Alzheimers disease Mike Huffstickler, one of Kings Mountain High’s great all-time running backs, passed away last week after a lengthy battle with Alzheimers. A celebration of his life will be held Wednesday at 3 p.m. at Bethany Baptist Church in Grover. Huffstickler was just the third 1,000-yard rusher in KMHS football history in 1963 when he and his teammates posted a 9-0-1 record and shared the Southwestern Conference championship with Shelby. The two teams played the Western NC High School Athletic Association’s first sudden death playoff after tying 7-7 at KM’s City Stadium. Shelby won the playoff 6-3 but back then a sudden death was only held to determine which team would go to the association playoffs. Huffstickler played during a time when teams seldom threw the football, so because of his talent he was in on probably 80 percent of the offensive plays. Pat Murphy, who was Huffstickler’s cousin and also quarterback of the team, said he and Huffstickler played baseball and football together from the time he was 10 and Huffstickler was 11. “He was a year ahead of me,” Murphy noted. “We started playing midgets at North School and then played varsity together. He had three really good years. “I would just give him the ball,” Murphy said. “He was good for 25 to 30 carries a game. Back in those days you basically just ran the ball. “He was such a reliable back. He tore his knee up his sophomore year and didn’t get to finish the season but he was our leading rusher his junior and senior years. After that sophomore year he didn’t have any injuries and was always ready to play. Our offense was geared to the tailback. “His stats were good back then,” Murphy noted. “You didn’t run as many plays as they run now. You didn’t have games where you ran 60 plays. There’s a lot more throwing now and that stops the clock. “The thing I remember most about Mike was how reliable he was. He was always healthy and ready to play. He always wanted the ball. You can’t beat that.” He wasn’t just a runner, though. Murphy said he would often throw to Huffstickler, especially on extra point tries. “He was extremely shifty. He could run sideways as fast as most people can run forward. That helped his longevity and helped him stay healthy. When you carry the ball 25
or 30 times the chance of getting hurt is not as great.” Steve Baker was moved from backup wingback to Huffstickler’s backup late in his junior year and recalled how Huffstickler, who was a senior, was worried when Coach Bill Bates announced that all backs had to be able to run the mile in less than six minutes. “Huffstickler never liked to work out,” Baker said. “Murphy and I decided we had to get him in shape. For almost six weeks we worked every day running the hill at East School and doing wind sprints in the field at Tommy Ellison’s store. Mike dedicated himself to get in great shape so we all worked out together. “He was just the third back to gain over a thousand yards. That was a big deal in that era because a running offense was what you concentrated on,” Baker added. “It would be 14 more years before another running back topped the 1,000-yard mark. Mike was a tough, hardnosed determined back and you knew when he got the ball he was going to get five yards.” Baker said one of the best compliments he could pay Huffstickler was his determination after his father, Chuck, came home from a Lions Club meeting one night prior to Mike’s junior year. “Coach Bates told the Lions Club that he had a running back that he could build a new offense around,” Baker said. “He was talking about Mike. Mike’s dad was in attendance and came home and got Mike and said, ‘come on, I’m going to buy you a steak.’ Mike asked why, and Chuck said ‘because you’re going to be the featured back in our new offense.’ That made Mike so proud, and he was determined he would fulfill that promise.” Baker said, in just about every game, Huffstickler’s rushing stats came out to five yards per carry and over 100 yards per game. “Probably the game I remember most that year (’63) was at Mooresville. We didn’t play many teams outside our area and Mooresville was a long trip. There weren’t any bypasses or a Lake Norman back then. But we went to Mooresville and the plan was to give the ball to Mike. He carried it 30 times for 151 yards. Right before halftime we had a long drive. Mike carried it on every play and we went up 7-0 and went on to win 14-0. Mike was so proud we won that game. That night is when we realized we could play with anybody. Mike had 100 yards by halftime. Mooresville couldn’t do
anything with our defense. There were only 38 points scored on our defense that year. It was phenomenal. If we had a lead we didn’t expect to lose.” Huffstickler was a diehard Mountaineer fan all of his life. “Until his illness, Mike went 45-plus years without missing a game,” Baker pointed out. “Even when he wasn’t in great shape Anna Grace Hughes took an interest in seeing that Mike got to the games.” Despite his illness, Huffstickler, helped to the field by Baker, was in attendance in 2012 when KMHS celebrated 90 years of football at a game at Gamble Stadium. Never one to take credit for his numbers, Huffstickler was always complimentary of his offensive line. Jim Medlin was the weak side guard on the ’63 championship team, and said he was little (175 pounds his senior year) compared to linemen today. “But if I could make just a wee little hole Mike could squirt right through it,” he said. “He was very agile, even with his knee problem that kept him out of college ball.” Medlin, who was senior class president and is getting ready for the Class of 1964’s 55th year reunion May 31-June 1, said Huffstickler attended every reunion until his health situation worsened. “Mike could tell you about a game and could remember every play that I had long forgotten,” Medlin said. “The early dementia just snuck up on him. I was just so devastated that he had dementia. I remember when we were all in little league playing against each other. “Mike was always a great guy. He was a good athlete. He was always stocky and muscular. He always took care of himself. He was a competitor. He never did anything underhanded. He was always above board.” Medlin recalled that Huffstickler was 1964 senior class superlative Most Athletic. “I remember the seniors on our team of ’63,” Medlin noted. “Fred Dixon was the first to die, now Mike. Mike did most of the running. I think Coach (Bill) Bates ran Mike only on offense. He was afraid he’d get hurt on defense because of his knees. Being injured and to rack up the kind of yardage he had is phenomenal.” Medlin recalled a game against York, SC their senior year. “I had a big guy in front of me. Mike ran off my side –the weak side – and this
big fellow stood me up. I was just trying to keep him busy. Mike ran between me and (center) Terry Leonard. I bet there wasn’t six inches between us and Mike went for a touchdown. “I remember the first game our senior year when we went up to Cherryville and beat them. Sometime after halftime I got hit in the head and had a mild concussion. To this day I don’t remember anything about it except it was the first game of our senior season.” Huffstickler ran for 140 yards in an 18-0 KM victory that dedicated the Ironmen’s new stadium. “Mike was just a very good competitor from the time we were just little guys,” Medlin said. “I admired him for his athleticism and competitiveness. He always did it right with enthusiasm and hard work.”

Congratulations to Cleveland Community College’s 2019 National Technical Honor Society Photo provided by Paula Vess inductees.
New members inducted into National Technical Honor Society On April 30, 2019, Cleveland Community College’s chapter of the National Technical Honor Society inducted 40 new members. The National Technical Honor Society was formed in 1984. Since that time, the
Because spring weather is so unpredictable, you may be unprepared when severe weather hits, according to the Centers for Disease Control. And when severe weather hits unexpectedly, the risk of injury and death increases. So, planning-ahead makes sense; prepare for storms, floods, and tornadoes as if you know in advance they are coming, because in the spring, they very likely will. Advance planning for thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes, and floods requires specific safety precautions. You can follow many of the same steps that you would for all extreme weather events. Keep an emergency kit on hand. Some items to include are: • A battery-operated flashlight, a battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio, and extra batteries for both • An emergency evacuation or shelter plan, including a map of your home and, for every type of severe weather emergency, routes to safety from each room • A list of important personal information, including: • telephone numbers of neighbors, family, and friends • insurance and property information • telephone numbers of utility companies • medical information • According to the American Red Cross, a first aid kit may include: • non-latex gloves • assortment of adhesive bandages • antibiotic ointment • sterile gauze pads in assorted sizes
• absorbent compress dressings • tweezers • scissors • adhesive cloth tape • aspirin packets (81 mg each) • first aid instruction booklet (NOTE: Customize your first aid kit to meet your individual and family needs.) • A 3 – 5-day supply of bottled water and nonperishable food • Personal hygiene items • Blankets or sleeping bags • An emergency kit in your car Prepare your family members for the possibility of severe weather. Tell them where to seek appropriate shelter as soon as they are aware of an approaching storm. Practice your emergency plan for every type of severe weather. Show family members where the emergency supplies are stored, and make sure they know how to turn off the water, gas, and electricity in your home. Often by the time we are aware of an approaching storm, we have little if any time to prepare for it. But we do know that when spring arrives, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and floods are real possibilities. So why not take the surprise factor out of severe weather and prepare yourself, your family, and your home? If thunderstorms, tornadoes, and floods do occur, you’ll be ready for them.

Fitness tools available for participants to achieve their fitness and lifestyle goals.
YMCA opens The LOFT functional training center The Kings Mountain Family YMCA recently opened The LOFT, a functional training center for all ages who want to take control and enjoy the activities and lifestyle they desire. The vision for The LOFT is about two things: building community and enabling achievement for all ages and abilities. Functional fitness trains your muscles to work together and prepares them for daily tasks by simulating movements you might do at home, at work, or in sports. It trains your whole body while emphasizing core sta-
bility. While cardio, strength training, and group fitness classes meet important needs, The LOFT connects you with trainers and other people like you, equipping and inspiring you to reach your goals. Their mission is about helping you enjoy the life of movement and independence that you want. Wellness director, Daron Dwyer notes, “You don’t just walk into a class, do the workout, and leave, or hit the weights or a cardio machine hoping it will somehow work this time and get
you where you want to be. Our staff discover your personal goals – what you want to achieve – and incorporate you into a plan to get you there. They aren’t there to workout themselves, but to guide you on proper form, motivate you, answer questions, hold you accountable, connect you with important science, data, people and information so you can achieve.” Whether it’s a child seeking better athletic ability, a senior desiring to regain their mobility and independence, mom’s and dad’s
wanting to improve quality of life and health, or an everyday athlete wanting to meet the demands of life or special fitness events, the LOFT and our staff there are here for your success. We will offer targeted classes, programs and events in this space, designed to help you connect with others and accomplish your goals. We provide you with the data, plan, motivation and accountability to get you to where you want to be. One tool employed in the LOFT soon is Myzone, an innovative wearable heart
rate-based system that uses wireless and cloud technology to accurately and conveniently monitor physical activity. Wearing the device at the Y, you can see your heartrate on the screen and work in the zones needed to meet your goals. Myzone is successful due to its accuracy at 99.4%. This is the tool for anyone who wants an accurate, gamified and motivating wearable. Myzone monitors heart rate, calories and time exercising that convert into Myzone Effort Points (MEPs), with a focus on
rewarding effort rather than fitness. It has an app for smartphones and works anytime you have it on to track activity, whether you are at the YMCA or not. So, it is a great investment in your health. The LOFT is open to members and non-members of the YMCA at affordable rates. Information about The LOFT and other special programs offered for the summer and throughout the year are available at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA.

of the 2019 Safe Boating Campaign. While the event itself has passed, it is important for boaters to remember to wear their life jacket when on or near water. Educating the boating public about the safety and comfort of life jackets has been the primary focus of the campaign. Most boaters know they’re required to have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved wearable life jacket on board for every person on their boat. Boating
safety advocates recommend that all boaters and passengers not only have a life jacket, but also wear it while boating. Accidents on the water can happen much too fast to reach and put on a stowed life jacket. Drowning is the reported cause of death in 76 percent of all boating fatalities – and 84.5 percent of drowning victims in recreational boating accidents were not wearing a life jacket in 2017. The good news is that today’s life jackets are

much more comfortable, lightweight and stylish than the bulky orange style most boaters know. Life jackets that use inflatable technologies are cool and comfortable. They may resemble a pair of suspenders or a belt pack. Many inflate automatically when immersed in water. There are life jacket styles available for almost any boating activity. Cruising in an open motorboat: Comfort is key – choose a life jacket you’ll want to wear. For ages 16 and older, inflatable life jackets are a great option. Fishing: Designed with the angler’s needs in mind; vest-style life jackets have features such as pockets and clips to replace the fishing vest and keep the angler safe, while allowing for the needed full range of motion and mobility. Personal watercraft and water sports: Inherently buoyant, lighter-weight life jackets are rugged, with multiple buckles and clasps to keep them secure
after impact with the water. Hunting and cold weather: Full coats and suits are available in camouflage colors for waterfowl hunting and for those who boat when air and water temperatures are cool. Paddling: Special life jackets are designed with large openings for arms to allow ease of movement. Children: Virtually all styles available are sized especially for children – some with cartoon characters or other high-visibility themes, and many include additional safety features such as straps for pullingchildren from the water. Pets: Life jackets are even available for our fourlegged friends. It’s helpful to purchase one with a handle on top to easily pull your pet out of the water, if needed. Remember, any time you’re boating, set an example for others and always wear a life jacket and boat responsibly.

North Elementary Author’s tea
North Elementary School first graders wrote books to remember their time in first grade. They held an Authors Tea on May 10 where parents could come and have the authors autograph their books for them. Titles include “Swinging Through First Grade”, “First Grade Memories”, and “Camping Through First Grade”. The staff of North Elementary is very proud of their first grade students. Pictured are various scenes from the special day. Photos provided by Anna Hughes
