Man pleads guilty to shooting of Deputy Sims By Loretta Cozart On April 30, Dakota Green was sentenced to 21.5 to 27.5 years in prison with no opportunity of parole for shooting Cleveland County Sheriff’s Deputy Tim Sims in the face and leg last August After the sentencing, Sheriff Norman said, “This coward shot Sims when he was only doing his job. The individual took advantage and shot Sims, only because he didn’t want to go to jail. Sims almost made the ultimate sacrifice and this coward’s actions caused damage. “I wish that mandatory life without parole would be given to anyone who
SIMS shoots a law enforcement officer,” Norman said. Last February, the NC House introduced House Bill 224 Assault w/Firearm on LEO/Increase Punishment increasing the applicable penalty from a Class E felony to a Class D felony, a reform that requires
prison time for anyone convicted of the crime under North Carolina’s sentencing guidelines. Current law allows probation for some offenders who assault a law enforcement officer with a firearm, but H.B. 244 would require a minimum of 38 months in jail upon conviction. H.B. 224 has gone to the NC Senate for their approval. When asked how Deputy Sims is doing now, Sheriff Norman replied, “Sims is assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division and he hit the ground running the day he returned. He is doing a fantastic job and is totally dedicated to the people of Cleveland County.”

Chief Harris testifies in Washington, DC By Loretta Cozart On May 1, Chief Bill Harris spoke before the United States Senate Committee on Indian Affairs in Washington D.C. regarding legislation introduced by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that, if approved, would open the way for the Catawba Indian Nation to open a casino in the Dixon Community of Kings Mountain. Senator Graham introduced Chief Harris and explained the rational for S. 790, saying that the Catawba Indian Nation signed the Catawba Federal Settlement Act with South Carolina and North Carolina independently in 1993, the results of which would provide them 4,200 acres of land and the right to acquire land within the congressionally established service area.
Graham told the Senate Committee, “More than 25 years later, the Tribe’s reservation is only 1,000 acres. The Tribe is locked in poverty without claim to their native land and without the means to financially support themselves. He says this is “largely due to poor drafting of the Act.” Graham explained, “The language of the Act has been deemed ambiguous on the Tribe’s right to make limited land acquisitions in that state (NC). The bill specifically gives the Secretary (of Indian Affairs) the authority to make this decision. In a sense, this legislation is a technical correction to allow the Tribe to do what Congress envisioned. Nothing more, nothing less.” “Our government has promised a bright future for the Catawba people, but they have been deprived of that fu-
ture through a tortured legal process that has left them with little to show for giving up their land claims and treaty rights. And they did give it up. They didn’t get what they promised, and S. 790 will right that wrong,” he said. In his written testimony, Chief Harris explained, “The Catawba Land Claim Settlement Act was intended to settle a land claim brought by the Nation for its previous 144,000 acre, 15-mile square reservation. The Tribe also gave up its land claims in North Carolina and understood, as did Congressional and North Carolina leadership, that it had secured the right to take land into trust in North Carolina within its congressionally established service area.” Key Interior officials involved in the negotiation of See TESTIFIES, Page 2A

TESTIFIES
olina officials Patrick Clark and James R. Trotter. When asked by the Congressional Committee why the Catawba Indian Nation didn’t choose a South Carolina casino location, Chief Harris replied, “We have been restricted by the Catawba Land Claim Settlement itself. When we first signed the agreement in 1993, there was gaming within the state of South Carolina. South Carolina later stopped gaming. So, we cannot game on our reservation,” he said. Chief Harris also provided documentation showing that the Catawba Indian Nation was a recognized Tribe by the British Crown during colonial times. At the time, the Tribe occupied “the Southern Provinces,” which encompassed both North and South Carolina. In written testimony, Chief Harris pointed out that “the Eastern Band of the
Cherokee Indians has the experience, funding, and proven record of accomplishment in gaming, the Tribe has approached them on several occasions about partnering on the Kings Mountain project, but the Eastern Band leadership has not been interested. So, the Tribe has sought to be respectful of Eastern Band interests, without sacrificing Catawba rights. “The Eastern Band, in its compact with the State of North Carolina, secured the exclusive right to live table gaming in all lands west of I-26, a line that roughly follows the generally agreed upon eastern edge of Cherokee lands,” he wrote. In a statement following the hearing, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian’s Principal Chief Richard Sneed released a statement saying, “Today’s hearing on Senate Bill 790 to give North Carolina land to the Catawba Indian Nation of
South Carolina for an off-reservation casino reaffirms our concerns about this bill. Congress has never authorized an off-reservation casino by legislation, for good reason. “The bill circumvents the federal processes that give local stakeholders - the State Senate, the Governor, community members, and interested North and South Carolinians - a voice in whether to move forward with the casino. Rather than hear from interested parties, this bill silences those voices and replaces the process with backroom political dealing. “We encourage Senators to reject Senate Bill 790 which is nothing more than a modern-day land-grab by the federal government of Cherokee aboriginal lands. We hope that the Catawba Nation will instead pursue economic development in its home state of South Carolina,” he wrote.
Councilwoman Annie Thombs expressed concern regarding property access from Waco Road. She shared that Belvedere Circle is a fragile community and expressed concern if access was allowed from that street. Falls replied that they don’t intend to use the access from Belvedere Circle and that a fence would be installed on the property to restrict access from Waco Road only. The fence is also needed to restrict foot traffic across the property from Belvedere Circle to Waco Road. No one spoke
against the project and Council unanimously approved. In further action, City Council unanimously approved modification of the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance to require a Conditional Use Permit in the R-10, R-9, RS-8, R-8, RS-6, and R-6 residential districts for the following uses: • Golf Courses, Including a Pro Shop and to consider a modification to the City of Kings Mountain Zoning Ordinance to require a Conditional Use Permit in the R-20 residential district for the fol-
lowing uses: • Golf Courses, Including Pro Shop • Golf Driving Ranges – Case No. Z-1-1-19 Retiring to the regular meeting, Council took no official action regarding upcoming vacancies on 2019 city boards, committees and commissions. Discussed were possible 3-year staggered terms, advertising opportunities for board vacancies, encourage public participation, and the development, funding, and operation of a Citizen Academy.
From Page 1A the Catawba Land Claim Settlement Act of 1993 shared statements of support as to the Catawba's understanding regarding the application of the Act to the Tribe's Federal service area in North Carolina during that time. Statements from Manual Lujan, who served as Secretary of the Interior during the negotiation of the Act, and Bill Ott, who was the Interior witness and representative at the Senate hearing on the Act and the Eastern Region Director for the Bureau of Indian Affairs were included with Harris’ testimony. Additional written support was provided from leaders of the Catawba Indian Nation; Congressional members Marie Howard Fabrizio and Patricia Zell and North Car-

Mountain Street, and owner of Bridges True Value Hardware, thanked City Council for slowing traffic on Mountain Street. Miller added, “The round-about does not include the store.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. – Winston Churchill
Pieces of Kings Mountain History
By Loretta Cozart
As Mother’s Day approaches, COZART it is important to acknowledge all mothers and thank them. Being a mom is a tough job, because she always worries for her children. Even when the children are grown and self-sufficient, moms still worry. They can’t help it; it’s in their DNA. Some of us are blessed to have good mothers. And
others have been lucky enough to find good mother-figures through divine intervention. Some of my friends were even raised by loving grandparents. Grandmothers count as mother’s too. They just have extra practice. I realize how very lucky I am to still have my mother. In her 80’s, she doesn’t have the stamina she once possessed. Her mind is still sharp, and I am thankful for that. I can ask her questions about friends and family and learn things I was often too busy to bother with
before. The older I get, the more I realize the importance in the asking. When I was four-yearsold, my mother started a school for us at home. Those were the days before Kindergarten in elementary school, so mom took it upon herself to prepare us for first grade. I’m sure we only spent a few hours in class daily, but we learned the important routine of sitting still, writing our letters and numbers, and listening. Preparing my siblings and me to learn was a great
gift. I’ll always remember those days with great fondness and affection for my mother. I recently asked friends to share with me memories of their mothers and one friend was kind enough to do so. Bonnie Hinnant Miller wrote, ”One of my fondest memories growing up is our tradition of going fishing every Mother’s Day. “After church, we would load up my Father’s Ford Bronco with fishing gear (including live worms from his worm bed). Mother would pack a picnic, and
Lookin’ Out My Backdoor—Early May 2019 By Greta Reo-Cooper When we step outside these days, we certainly find ourselves in the midst of spring. There is new life all around us, and with new life always comes a bit of struggle, too. Last month, I wrote of the Carolina Wrens who had built a wonderfully ornate nest on a ladder hanging in our car port. We were thrilled to see three small eggs appear one day, and an attentive mother wren sitting on them. You can imagine how upsetting it was to find the nest on the concrete floor one morning, eggs smashed, and surrounded by raccoon footprints. Such a waste of effort for those little wrens! And yet later that day we heard them singing their loud song; such is nature, and we must move on. Their next choice of nesting location was also doomed from the start. One afternoon we observed one of the wrens, nesting material in beak, creeping under the hood
of my husband’s car. Sure enough, under the hood, on a vent, was an almost-complete nest. Sad as it was, we removed it, as I’m sure the wren parents would not have appreciated my husband’s commute to Charlotte. Hopefully the determined couple has found a more suitable location to raise their family. Remember the Barred Owl hooting during the day in early March? His vocal performance paid off, because barely a day goes by that we don’t hear a loud duet of hoots and caterwauling. We have also been lucky to see both owls several times over the last couple weeks. As we sat on the patio on a recent warm Sunday afternoon, the hoots grew louder and louder, until we saw two dark forms flying through the trees in our backyard. We neared the woods and were rewarded with a clear sight of the pair, perched right there so even our toddler could get a good, long look. She’s been perfecting her
Looking back In the May 8, 1965 Herald, Surgeon Dr. Sam L. Robinson, 36, was introduced to the community as the new partner of Dr. George W. Plonk who had just occupied a new medical clinic on West King Street. Dr. Robinson was veteran of 2½ years in the Air Force, having served in Germany. He received his medical degree from the University of Tennessee. Prior to moving to Kings Mountain, Dr. Robinson, his wife Annelle, and children had lived in Laurel, Mississippi.
owl call, and when we hear them hooting she declares, “the owls are at it again!” One evening, while walking down the driveway to get the mail, we heard the loudest “who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all” hoot yet, and looked up to see one of the Barred Owls sitting right in an oak tree next to our house. We stood under it for about ten minutes, as the nearby songbirds grew angrier and angrier, swooping in close to the owl in hopes of driving it away. But the owl played it cool, and every so often would look down at us with its big brown eyes. Next morning there were two bonefilled owl pellets under its perch, another reminder that nature can be cruel, that life sustains life. Our front yard bluebird nest box has residents! It was actually our soon-to-be three year old daughter who first spotted the female bluebird fluttering outside the opening one day as she looked through the window. Both male and female bluebird can be seen perching on the nest box roof, flying out to catch bugs, the female always returning inside to sit on her clutch of eggs. The bluebird pair also continues to eat from the suet cake hanging at our bird feeder. Although we tend to think of feeding the birds as a winter activity, it’s important to continue to put seed and suet out this time of year,
when parents are using a lot of energy to build nests, defend territories, and feed nestlings. The reliable food source helps! Ruby Throated Hummingbirds have returned too, and we’ve seen them enjoying nectar from our blooming foxglove and heuchera flowers, but they also spend lots of time at our hummingbird feeder. Lucky for the hummingbirds, lots of people feeding them. I’ve seen some feeders filled with artificial red nectar. Sadly, this red, store-bought “nectar” is colored with Red Dye #40, a petrochemical that is banned in many countries and causes tumors and reproductive issues in mice. Thankfully, you don’t need to buy red nectar to attract hummingbirds, as most feeders are red! This simple and healthier recipe will keep your hummingbirds happy all summer long, and they won’t fill up on the fake stuff: one part white table sugar to four parts boiling water. Let cool, and fill feeder. A warm breeze gently blowing the flag to and fro, the distant hum of a lawnmower, and a Brown Thrasher delivering its impressive (if a little noisy) repertoire from the top of a crepe myrtle; our first spring in North Carolina has made us fall in love with this state even more.
The Robinson family included four children: Cynthia, age eight, Sam, Jr., age seven, Jeff, age 4, and Jerry, age two. They occupied a home at 1010 Sherwood Lane.

off to Mrs. Arnold Kiser’s pond we would go. There we would spend the afternoon catching bream. Every now and then Daddy would catch a bass! Some days were longer than others waiting for that first catch,” she shared. “Afterwards, we would return home. Daddy would clean the fish, and Mother would cook them. We were thrilled with the feast! “As I look back, I think WOW! There must have been one thousand and one other things my Mother would have liked to do on
Mother’s Day, but she knew how much her husband and children loved to go fishing. Such love!” Bonnie is so right. What we admire most about our mothers is the unconditional love and patience they had for us. If you can, spend some time with your mother on Sunday. The greatest gift you can give your mother is that same love she shared with you. Love is the gift that lasts a lifetime, spans generations and binds families together.
Celebrate Mother’s Day Happy Mother’s Day to my dear wife who is a great mom and to every Mother everywhere! Glenn Mollette My Guest Editorial brothers and sisters were all gone from home by the time I was eight years old. I missed them but during the summer I had my mother mostly all to myself. My dad worked third shift in the coal mines and slept most of the day. My mother’s main job was keeping me quiet so I wouldn’t wake my dad from sleep. Fortunately for him he had built a small place behind our house where he slept during the day. If I didn’t bounce the basketball and played quietly all went well. I was close to my mother growing up. My sisters always said, “I was mommy’s baby.” I came along ten years after my other brothers and sisters so probably it was a little easier raising one child than trying to raise my four sisters and brothers all at once. Life was relatively simple. Some mornings during the summer we had to put bug dust on the bean patch in the garden. Some mornings we hoed corn. We raised hogs and often there were middling’s to make. We had sulfur drinking water that was unfit for washing clothes. If we had not caught enough rain water then it meant carrying water from our nearby creek. We had about a hundred yard walk to the creek so we had to make a lot of trips back and forth to the creek for enough water. God forbid if I got busy chasing a crawl dead and stirred up the creek water. It always took a while for the silt to settle down and the water to clear up. Of course there was always lots of grass to mow with a push mower. One of the sweet parts of the day was having lunch with just mom. Usually it was sandwich, a soda pop and a Reese’s Cup, or something similar. Once I talked
my mom into letting me have a root beer. She said you won’t like it and if that’s what you choose you are stuck with it.” I didn’t like it and she stuck to her promise. I once asked her what she wanted me to be when I became an adult. She thought for a minute and said, “Become a school teacher.” Looking back I know the reason she said that was because in that era school teachers were the only people in our county who had stable jobs and incomes. My dad’s coal mining job was tough and she wasn’t wishing that on me. In her way she was saying she wanted the very best for me. I always felt like mom was on my side although she never tolerated misbehavior. We had a peach tree in our back yard and on more than one occasion she broke off a limb and used what we referred to as a “switch,” on me. I suppose that meant the peach tree limb would assist me in switching my behavior. However, mom was great. I remember how hard she worked. I know how passionately she loved our family. She took care of my dad and my four siblings. She loved God and prayed and she loved people. I miss my mom. By God’s grace and mercy I’ll see her again and my dad in heaven. My children’s mother is also deceased. My son’s and I miss her every day and I know they miss her love and devotion. They have now lived most of their lives without their mother. Mother’s day is a tough day as they can only remember. If you have a good mother, take a moment this Mother’s day and praise her. Good words, hugs, and any deed that might make her life a little easier are well deserved. Do something that pleases mom and for one day forget about yourself. Maybe your mom and grandma are deceased. On this Mother’s day maybe there are other special moms that you can graciously wish and express to them in some way, “Happy Mother’s day.” We can’t go wrong celebrating Mother’s Day.

■ MEDITATION
From Doubt To Faith By Rev. Ron Tippens First Presbyterian Church
Doubting Thomas DOUBT. Doubt? Have you ever experienced it? I have and that is why I’m very glad the New Testament included him. Thomas becomes a “stand in” for me; for all of us who want to see something for ourselves before we decide whether or not it’s true. For example, I’ve heard some pretty convincing stories on tv about UFO’s, but until I see for myself I will doubt. I’ve also heard about stigmata, out-of-body experiences and weeping statues of Jesus. I’m not saying they are not true but until I experience those things I will doubt.
Sesame Street has its Oscar the Grouch; Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, their Grumpy; Charlie Brown and the Peanuts kids have their Lucy and the early Christian church has their doubting Thomas! Thomas (the Doubter), why would the New Testament authors even bring him up? Why didn’t they just sweep this literal-minded maverick (who had to be convinced of everything) under the rug? “Unless I see,” Thomas said, “I will not believe!” Thomas – the Doubter
I have heard that NC State and Carolina are better than Duke, but until I see evidence I will not believe (just kidding). Doubt? Have you experienced it? A scholar has written that over the years he has observed that there are two kinds of doubters as far as the Christian faith is concerned. On the one hand there are angry doubters. They don’t believe and they don’t care. There is not really much you can do for them until someone or something changes their attitude. For example: a newspaper offered a prize for the best definitions of life. Most of the responses were beautiful, but some were
alarmingly negative. For instance one said: “Life is a bad joke. That isn’t even funny!” Another said, “Life is a disease for which the only cure is death!” Yet another said, “Life is a jail sentence that we get for the crime of being born!” Can you imagine what living life in such a continual state of negative doubt must be like? On the other hand there is a second group of people that we might like to call the honest doubters. There are people who genuinely want to believe, but they find it so hard; they wonder, they question, they brood, they doubt. Such folks are close to my heart. I understand where they are coming from. At times I’ve been there with them! They remind me of that man who wanting Jesus to heal his paralytic son cries out in desperation, “I believe,

Heritage Day May 18
help my unbelief!” This man and Thomas give voice to what have been the cries of the heart of many honest doubters. Lord I want to believe but look! Tsunami has hit and precious children die. Worshippers are gunned down in America’s synagogues and churches. Young sons and daughters die in automobile accidents. “Lord I want to believe, help my unbelief!” There is good news for all honest doubters. Jesus does not dismiss Thomas or us from His circle of friends for failing to trust. Jesus came back to Thomas for his benefit alone. Jesus will come back to us. Jesus will come back to each of us to put our doubts to rest. For the simple and alarming truth is, that to stay in doubt will not lead to life.

KM Hall of Fame induction set for Saturday The 32nd annual Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame banquet and induction ceremony will be held Sat., May 11 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. The meal begins at 6 p.m. and the HOF ceremony will begin around 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available from members of the Hall of Fame committee. Some tickets will be available at the door on a first come, first served basis. Eight individuals and two teams will be inducted. The individuals are the late Don Gladden, James Robbs, Ramey Kerns, Curt
Pressley, Jimmy Brown, Ed Guy, Michael Roberts and Frank Hopper and the team is the 1977 KMHS tennis team. They will bring the total number of inductees to 105. All inductees are recognized on Hall of Fame plaques that are displayed in the gym lobby at Kings Mountain High School. Inductees from the early years of the HOF are also recognized on plaques on the walls of Barnes Auditorium. Don Gladden and James Robbs were Mountaineer football stars in the late 1950s, and Robbs’ se-
nior year was 1960. Those were the “golden years” of early KM football, helping Coaches Shu Carlton and John Gamble win numerous Southwestern Conference championships. Gladden was known as “Dashin’ Don” because of his excellent speed and quickness. Playing during a time when all teams ran between the tackles, he used his skills to turn many short runs and passes into long touchdowns. During his senior year of 1958 he became just the school’s second 1,000-yard single season rusher with
1,051 yards and also caught eight passes for 187 yards for a total mark of 1,235 yards. Ken Baity had gained over 1,000 yards in 1955 and 1956. Gladden had numerous 100-yard games with one of his most productive nights being 219 yards in just eight carries in a 38-6 win over Forest City. In that game, he went 90 yards for a TD on KM’s first play from scrimmage. In a time when quarterbacks mostly handed the ball off to talented runners like Gladden, Robbs was a dual threat. Although teams
didn’t throw that much back then he had high completion percentages each season and if someone was covered he could take it to the house himself. During KM’s tri-championship year of 1959, he hit 5 of 8 passes for 87 yards in a 44-7 rout of Chase, and 5 of 10 for 102 yards in a 14-0 win over a very good Cherryville team that put the Mountaineers in the Top Ten teams in the state in the Greensboro Daily News rankings. In 1960, he was the field general for a Mountaineer team that went 9-1 and lost
the SWC title in a controversial 6-0 loss to Lincolnton. For his career he hit 35 of 65 passes for 666 yards and 11 touchdowns, both school records at the time. Robbs was a three-sport athlete at KMHS, also excelling in basketball and baseball. An outstanding hitter and shortstop, he helped lead the 1959 KM American Legion team to the Area IV finals. When Ed Guy retired as KMHS tennis coach, he set a standard that is still going See FAME, Page 2B
Softball awaits State playoffs
State 3A playoffs underway
Kings Mountain High’s girls softball team dropped its third game to rival Crest this season in the championship game of the Big South Tournament Friday, 10-1. The Lady Mountaineers were awaiting word Monday from the NCHSAA as to their seeding and opponent in the upcoming state playoffs. The first four rounds were set to begin on Tuesday and will continue on May 10, 14 and 17. KM finished second in the Big South regular season. Depending on the records of other teams making the tournament field, KM could host a first round playoff game. The Lady Mountaineers’ only run Friday at Crest was a home run by Emily Graham
Three Kings Mountain High teams began play in the NCHSAA 3A playoffs last night and hope to be playing again in the second round Friday. The Big South champion girls soccer team was scheduled to play St. Stephens at 6 p.m. at John Gamble Stadium. KM is seeded fourth. St. Stephens was the third place team in a split 3A/4A Conference and is a very good team. If the Lady Mountaineers won last night, they will host the winner of the Watauga-Weddington game. The 14th seeded KMHS softball team (14-6) was at home last night against 19th seed Rockingham County. If successful, the Lady Mountaineers will meet the winner
in the fourth inning. By that time Crest had already put nine runs on the board. Graham’s homer was one of just three hits by the Mountaineers. The other two were singles by Brittney Reynolds and Jessie Oehler. Kings Mountain opened the tournament with a 10-1 home victory over the Hunter Huss Lady Huskies. The Lady Mountaineers grabbed a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first and cruised to victory. Huss scored its only run in the top of the fourth to cut the margin to 4-1 but KM closed things out with three runs in the fifth and three in the sixth. Summer Deaton got the See SOFTBALL, Page 3B

Kings Mountain opened Big South Conference tournament play last week with an 8-1 victory over Stuart Cramer before falling to second place North Gaston 3-2 in the semi-final round. Cramer struck for a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on an RBI double from Matt Rhom but Kings Mountain took command in the bottom of the third on a grand slam home run by John Harmon Melton. Zack Crawford later scored when Boone Cartee reached on an error to give the Mountaineers a 5-1 lead. The Mountaineers added their final three runs in the fourth on a walk, single by

Kings Mountain traveled to North Gaston Wednesday for a second round game and led the second place Wildcats early before falling 3-2. Ruffalo pitched five innings and took the tough loss. He struck out five. Seth Kennedy worked one inning. Bell and Ruffalo each had two hits and each drove in a run. Melton also had two hits and Cartee, Broome and Stevens added one apiece. Noah Wallace and Nate Williams led the Wildcats with two hits each.

KM Elite Select third grade team wins USBA state championship Kings Mountain Elite third grade went 4-0 to win the USBA state championship tournament in Raleigh last week. The US Basketball Association is one of the leading grassroots basketball tournaments and camps for boys and girls of all ages in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. KM Elite Select won a very intense championship game against the Raleigh based Garner Road team, 4634.
FAME From Page 1B strong today. He started out coaching the boys and a year later began the women’s program. His 1977 team, which is going into the HOF with him, won the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association state championship, and his junior star Tim Riddle won the individual WNCHSAA championship. Guy coached for 14 years before going into school administration. He is now retired but has never lost his love for tennis. He holds summer camps for youngsters and can always be seen at KMMS and KMHS tennis matches. Kerns, now Ramey Bridges, took up soccer at a very young age and was a star at KMHS and East Tennessee University. She and
Braylon Brown, Silas Tate, Camren Houser and Aden Thompson led the Elite Select throughout the tournament. Amir Parker, A’mon Parrker, Jemarius Hill and Jaden Byrd also made solid contributions to help secure KM Elite Select’s first state championship, which earned them an automatic bid to the USBA National Basketball Tournament which will be held in Raleigh Convention Center in July.
Elect Select Third Grade has a 7-0 overall record and has won their second travel ball tournament. Game-by-game results: KM Elite Select 39, Duplin County Ball Stars 27. Leading scorers for KM were Camren Houser 13, Braylon Brown 9, Silas Tate 6, Jamarius Hill 2, Jaden Byrd 2. KM Elect Select 35, WCBA-Raleigh, 32. Leading scorers for KM were Braylon Brown 20,

other outstanding players led Dan Potter’s Lady Mountaineers to the school’s only state championship appearance. Even though the KM ladies lost that game, they established an interest in soccer that still exists today with the current Lady Mountaineers who have won four straight conference championships. Bridges has been a big part of that as an assistant coach at KMHS and head coach at KMMS. She was an All-American at ETSU where she led the nation in scoring her junior year. She graduated early, skipping her senior year to go into teaching and coaching. Pressley was an allaround athlete at KMHS, but best remembered as an outstanding running back in the early 1980s under coaches Dan Brooks and Dennis Hicks. He led the Mountaineers in rushing his senior season, when he had numerous
100- and 200-yard games. He went on to play at Gardner-Webb University, starting all four years, first as a running back and later as a hard-hitting linebacker. In recent years he has been active in most KM sports programs as a coach of basketball, football and baseball in the rec leagues and at KMMS and KMHS. He is currently an assistant football coach at KMHS. Brown was an outstanding high school athlete in numerous sports, and went on to an outstanding basketball career at Limestone College in Gaffney, SC, where he and Limestone teammate Demetris Goode are both listed among the “Top 40” basketball players in the school’s history. Brown was one of two outstanding point guards during KM’s championship teams at KMHS in the early 1980s that went on to play college ball. The other, Carl Smith, who is already in
the HOF, played at UMass where he broke Dr. J’s assist record. Frank Hopper was an outstanding defensive lineman on the 1998 KMHS football team that played for the state championship. He went on to have two outstanding years at East Tennessee State before suffering a career-ending injury. Hopper was one of several players from Grover who learned their blocking skills under former KMHS coach Dave Farquharson when he was Grover’s PE teacher. When Hopper joined the high school team he was moved to defensive tackle and was one of the school’s best ever. Several of his teammates from that outstanding ’98 team – Julius Curry, Kareem Marshall, and Kendrick Bell – were among that Grover crew and are also in the HOF. Michael Roberts is one of the best quarterbacks in KM football history, setting
Doug Shuffler and Ken Wood were double winners in Cleveland County Senior Golf Association matches last week. They tied for first place in matches at Deer Brook and Kings Mountain, shooting 75s and Deer Brook and 72s at KMCC. Carl Straw took low net at Deer Brook with a 63 (7714). Pete Reed was closest to the pin on #12 and Andrew Janelle sank the longest putt on 18. Benny Grigg took low net at KM with a 57 (76-19). James Haynes was closest to the pin on #5 and Gil Stowe had the longest putt on #9.
STATE 3A of the West Rowan-Sun Valley game. If that’s West, the KM girls will be on the road for a 6 p.m. start. Kings Mountain’s baseball team (15-9) and the 21st seed, won’t have far to travel as it takes on fellow Big South foe North Gaston (19-5). That game will be at 7 p.m. If the Mountaineers (21st seed) are successful they will face the winner of the game between #5 Northern Guilford and #28 Parkwood at the site of the higher-seeded team.
passing and total offense standards that many thought would never be equaled. They were during the past season when Kaylon Wade, who will become a Catawba quarterback in the fall, broke them. Roberts was the ideal quarterback to run Greg Lloyd’s spread offense when he took over as Mountaineer coach in 2007. Like Wade, he could throw it from the pocket or on the run, and if people were covered he could take it the house himself. Led by Roberts and many others, Lloyd’s 2008 team won the school’s first conference title since Ron Massey’s state finalist team of 1998. Roberts went on to play one year at Georgia Military Academy and for the past several years has been the quarterback of the KM Force semi-pro team which last season won the national championship. Roberts was the MVP in that game.

At the April 30 Kings Mountain City Council meeting, the new Send-AKid to College scholarship was presented by Scott Neisler and unanimously approved by Councilmembers. Stepping from behind the council dais, Neisler relinquished the chair to Mayor Pro Tem Rodney Gordon. Addressing city council, Neisler explained the mission of the scholarship saying, ‘Send-A-Kid to College’ is for students who have been attending Kings Mountain High School for four years and are dependents of City of Kings Mountain Utility customers. “It is a community based ‘last stop’ funding mechanism to be used to complete a student’s funding requirements eliminating the financial burden of continuing education after high school. This Scholarship is aimed at helping students complete their educational journey in the community college system,” he said. The scholarship will be funded by the citizens and industries of Kings Mountain through donations made while paying their energy bills. A monthly donation of as little as a dollar, or another amount of the donors choosing, can be added to the monthly utility payment.
Collected funds will be paid directly to the Cleveland County College Foundation or another community college, if the student’s course of study not offered at CCC. Criteria of eligibility for the scholarship include: • Scholarship to provide community based “last stop” funding – This would be funds available after all financial aid awards such as FASFA, Pell Grant, work study have been exhausted to complete community college financial obligation. • Scholarship can be used for degree or technical certificate program at Cleveland Community College or any other community college in North Carolina if course of study is not offered at CCC. • Maximum commitment from the fund would be for 2 years, (the time it would take a full-time student to achieve an Associate’s degree from Cleveland Community College). • Students are required to summarize their progress on completion of the 1st year while requesting funds for the 2nd year. • Funds are collected by the City of Kings Mountain and paid directly to Cleveland Community College Foundation or other community college if course of study is not offered at CCC. • The Scholarship is for

Papa John’s Pizza delivery by Nicholas Broome and Arin Treadway. Photo provided
East Elementary Field Day was a magical day for all By Loretta Cozart On Friday, May 3, East School held their annual Field Day event, allowing students and teachers an opportunity to relax and have fun before the End of Grade tests begin. Teacher Christy Campbell reached out to a Charlotte radio station in hopes of winning the $400 necessary to fund the event. She didn’t win, but the radio station shared her story on-
the-air. John Lesko, Papa John’s Pizza Director of Operations in Charlotte heard the plea and had the local restaurant in Kings Mountain donate 90 pizzas for field day. Coca-Cola in Charlotte’s Organizational Capability Admin, Maria Martin, offered Powerade drinks donated from a nearby plant. After hearing about East Schools need for sponsors, the American Legion Fam-
ily (Legionnaires, Sons of the Legion, and Legion Riders), American Legion Auxiliary and Col. Frederick Hambright DAR chapter donated the necessary funds for the event. “Field Day was simply amazing! The donations from everyone helped make the day magical. We are so overwhelmed with the response. Thanks goes to all our sponsors for all their support,” Campbell said.

Grover Elementary first graders learn about our Earth By Ann Smith, First Grade Teacher, Grover Elementary School
Grover Elementary’s first graders worked with Elizabeth Karnavas, Education Specialist with the Cleveland County Soil and Conservation Department, over several days as they studied some of the physical properties of the earth. During their first session, students created worm composting bins by tearing up newspaper and adding leaves, eggshells and soil in with the worms. The composting
bins are being kept and cared for in the classrooms. There are plants growing in the compost bins and students feed them weekly. During the follow-up session, students celebrated Earth Day by discussing water run-off and pollution and how this affects our Earth. Students also played a game by passing an Earth ball to each other. When they caught the ball, they observed where their right thumb landed - on water or land. This activity helped to prove that the Earth is 70% water. Grover Elementary’s first graders worked with Elizabeth Karna, Education Specialist with the Cleveland County Soil and Conservation Department to learn more about our earth.

City employee presentations Downtown building improvements continue and recognitions given April 30 By Loretta Cozart In the April 30 City Council Meeting, Director of Planning and Economic Development Stuart Gilbert reported that downtown building improvements continue. All 2016 Block
Grants received by the city have been expended. The community received $500,000 and two of the city’s most iconic buildings have undergone improvements. “One building is finished and awaits inspection. The
facades remain to be done, but progress is being made. Both buildings will be completed by June 2019. All requirements for the Federal Grant have been done, short of final inspections,” Gilbert reported.
By Loretta Cozart At the April 30 City Council Meeting, Mayor Scott Neisler recognized four employees for their service to the community. Cpl. Michael Howard was recognized by Resolution for receiving his Intermediate Certification through the North Carolina Justice Academy. Three employees were recognized but could not
attend due to scheduling conflicts: Wayne Carpenter, Police Department for 10 years of service; Ray Owenby, Natural Gas Department for 10 years of service; and Lynn Flowers, Public Works Department for 5 years of service. A Proclamation was read declaring April 14 – 20, 2019 as National Public Safety Telecommunications Week 2019 and honoring the men and women
who serve as Public Safety Telecommunicators in the community. Mayor Neisler invited Public Safety Telecommunicators in attendance to come forward as he read the Proclamation. May 12 – 18, 2019 was proclaimed National Police Week honoring the men and women who serve as Law Enforcement Officers in the community.
The 10,000 sq. ft. Johnson building continues toward completion. Significant structural and system updates were made, making the space attractive to new tenants. Photos by Loretta Cozart Cpl.

Music Hall of Fame headed to Cleveland County; Board of Directors named to oversee project A Cleveland County group has been working for the past several months on a Music Hall of Fame and looks to have its first induction ceremony in 2020. The Board of Directors composed of Phil Weathers, Tommy Ellis, Mary Fox, Ryan Fox, Alyssa Kole, Dwight Osborne, Angela Patterson Padgett, Jackie Sibley-Newton, Patti Weathers and Ronnie Whisnant all have a love for music and for the past few years have envisioned a Music Hall of Fame for Cleveland County. Their dream is now becoming a reality. The Hall of Fame will include all genres of music from rock, pop, soul, country, gospel, bluegrass, etc. The group plans to look at nationally known artists from the county, songwriters, disc jockeys and individuals who have promoted
music. The group plans to include a longtime band or artist each year as well. Eventually, a scholarship(s) will be offered to a local senior in high school who plans to pursue a degree in music. Currently, the group is working with King Law Offices to establish the Cleveland County Music Hall of Fame as a 501 c (3) and graphic artist Jimmy Car-
penter to design the organization’s logo. The group feels like Cleveland County is rich in music history and with the creation of this special organization, that history will live on. On Friday, August 9, 2019 the Hall of Fame’s first fundraiser, “Tribute to the Woodstock Music Festival”, will be held at the City Pavilion in uptown Shelby. The event, which will be held from 3pm until 9pm, will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival held in 1969. Three bands will be on hand playing music from the 1969 festival, Vendors and Classic VWs will be on hand as well. Participants will be able to bid on silent auction items and register for door prizes. More information concerning this fundraiser will be available soon.
