Last Saturday the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad celebrated 60-years of saving lives and serving the people of Kings Mountain. Captain John Harris said, “Mayor Neisler attended the celebration, along with Fire Chief Frank Burns. We had three former Captains: Jonie Blanton, Johnnie Hutchins, and Preston Leonard. Many prior EMTs and their families joined us, too. There was a table filled with memorabilia and photos. Everyone kept trying to identify folks they had worked with over the years. It was a great celebration.” Those attending enjoyed a BBQ dinner, corn hole, music, and cake. Young ones were entertained with bounce houses while others played corn-hole. “For the last 60 years, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad has served its citizens when their need is the

LIBERTY MOUNTAIN CAST– Photo provided by Bob Inman
LIBERTY MOUNTAIN: another successful season By Robert Inman We’ve brought the curtain down on our fifth seaINMAN son of “Liberty Mountain” at the Joy Performance Center, and as we take stock of everything associated with the play, we realize it has been a resounding success. Among the highlights: • Our cast and crew delivered 17 outstanding performances. We had the benefit of a high level of professional talent and some outstanding amateur actors from our area. Time and time again, they impressed out audiences with their energy and passion for the story. We hope many
of them will return next year. • Audience members told us without fail that it was our best show yet. The audiences were substantial and enthusiastic, and reminded us how important the play is to understanding where we came from as a nation and how the heroics of the Patriots turned the tide of the Revolution. • We had more young audience members than ever. It was gratifying to see families come together, and take home some lessons of history they can talk about in the future. This is history our young folks need to know. • From a technical standpoint, the production was the best ever. Director Caleb Sigmon and sound designer Matt Lucas took us to a new level with the use of light, sound, and
projected images. The result was that our audiences were surrounded by and immersed in the action. • Our patrons come from an ever-widening area, a growing number from other states. Our efforts to get the word out about “Liberty Mountain” are paying dividends. When folks come from other areas to see the show, they do much more than buy tickets. They eat in our restaurants, stay in our motels, and shop in our stores. More than ever, the play is a job-creating boost to our local economy. • We’ve enjoyed another successful collaboration with the National Park Service at the Kings Mountain National Military Park. So many of our patrons say they heard about the play while visiting the park, or made a trip to the park after seeing our show.
• The support we received from our sponsors and supporters has never been more gratifying. Local governments, businesses, and individuals help make “Liberty Mountain” possible. Ticket sales alone never support a stage show. It takes a whole community to make it happen We’re already at work on Season Six of “Liberty Mountain.” The story of our ancestors and what they bravely did at Kings Mountain doesn’t change. But we constantly look for new ways to tell their story. If you came to see our show this year, thank you. Tell your friends, relatives and neighbors about your experience and urge them to come to a performance next summer. If you haven’t seen the show, we’ll see you next year.

The Gaston College Human Services Technology program is introducing a new Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree track, Human Services Technology—Substance Abuse Concentration. Classes start in the fall 2018 semester, which begins on August 20. The Substance Abuse concentration prepares students to assist in drug and alcohol counseling, prevention-oriented educational activities, rehabilitation with recovering clients, managing community-based programs, counseling in residential facilities, and pursuit of four-year degrees. Course work will include classroom and experiential activities oriented toward an overview of chemical dependency, psychological/sociological process, the 12 Core Functions of a Substance Abuse Professional (Screening, Intake, Orientation, Assessment, Treatment Planning, Counseling, Case Management, Crisis Intervention, Client Education, Referrals, Report and Record Keeping, and Consultation with Other Professionals),
intervention techniques with individuals in groups, and follow-up activities with recovering clients. Graduates of the program should qualify for positions as substance abuse counselors, DUI counselors, halfway house workers, residential facility employees, and substance education specialists. With educational and clinical experiences, graduates can obtain certification by the North Carolina Substance Abuse Board. “The Gaston College Human Services Technology Program is offering the new Substance Abuse Concentration A.A.S. degree in response to the N.C. substance abuse treatment provider shortage, the current opioid epidemic, and requests from the community of service providers and people interested in helping those who struggle with addiction,” said Ann Elliott, Department Chair of Human Services and Early Childhood Education. Classes meet on the Gaston College Kimbrell campus in Belmont, N.C. For more information about the Human Services

Back to the basics - part 3 Over the last we can be righteous in God’s sight. This couple of weeks we was a tremendous have been explorsacrifice on the part ing the basics of our of Jesus, but it does faith, or at least the not come lightly basics as they perfor those of us who tain to the Trinity. have accepted it. In First, before we can Jesus’ own words, fully comprehend he calls each and the love, grace and Jeff Wilson every person who mercy that God has Pastor to offer, we must Kings Mountain believes in him to start by fearing Church of the go a step further and follow him. Nazarene him. Psalm 111:10 There is no says that the fear earthly way for us of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Secondly, we to ever come close to followlooked at the sacrifice that ing Jesus on our own. We Jesus made for each and are talking about the Son of every one of us. It was Jesus God and who are we comwho closed the gap between pared to that. To be honest, mankind and God; our sin this is where I find many has been atoned through the Christians today. We try so shed blood of Jesus, and now hard on our own to follow
Jesus, but all we end up with is a whole lot of fatigue and frustration. In fact, I have seen all too many people just give up and settle for a life of sin and misery instead. That, my friend, is not the answer and if we would instead cling to the final basic principle of the Trinity, I firmly believe we will be given more than a fighting chance to succeed. In John 14:16-17 and verse 26 Jesus says, “and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. But the Advocate, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” We have access to our very own advocate and teacher. That sounds like a recipe for success to me. I believe that if you want to follow Jesus, being led by the Holy Spirit is the only way to accomplish that. There is a whole big world out there that God has blessed us with, but lets all be reminded of the basics before proceed any further on this adventure. It is my prayer today that the Holy Spirit would lead you into this adventure and a new life that comes from fearing the Lord and following Jesus.

Women of Distinction make donations The Women of Distinction have made numerous donations this year. The group donated 55 pocketbooks with basic essentials included in each bag to the Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Council. Not only are these pocketbooks being given to help women that may have limited access to simple items needed on a daily basis, they are also filled with love. The club is committed to engaging in our community. Because of their strong family and sisterhood values, they are excited about
their future endeavors through the year of 2018. The donation was made on Friday, January 26th. They also donated over 25 book bags filled with school supplies such as notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers and notebook paper and personal items on April 10th to Graham Elementary School. The book bags will help the students in sustaining their studies while having access to basic school supplies they need to have replenished throughout the school year. The club felt a need to assist a school in
our community that would help relieve expenses for the school and parents. On April 9th, the Women of Distinction donated 4 baskets and 4 bags full of items that will allow families to have access to when they are visiting their loved ones at Hospice Cleveland County. The items included: cups, plates, cutlery, snacks, hand soaps, wipes and boxes of tissue. As a local non-profit organization, they were delighted to choose Hospice for their community outreach endeavor.

brown line through the eye. “Its habit of nesting on man-made structures shows that raptor can coexist with humans and even benefit from some of our activities “The osprey is almost always found near water containing abundant fish populations and can be seen along rivers, lakes and the
coast. Ospreys are excellent hunters of fish. They usually hover over the water until a fish nears the surface and then dive feet first, grasping the fish with their talons. Ospreys can dive at 30 miles per hour and have been clocked at 50 miles per hour by the time they hit the water. “They are able to take off from the water and can be seen shaking vigorously to remove water after they are
airborne. Captured fish are almost always carried with head forward for the best aerodynamics. Although they are almost exclusively fish eaters, ospreys occasionally take other prey including birds, mammals, mollusks and snakes.” Next time you visit Moss Lake, take a moment to observe the osprey in their nests or while hunting fish on the water.

logged 1,000-man hours, but the victim was never recovered.” “For most folks I’ve worked with here, this job is a labor of love. EMTs see things that pull hard at your heart strings. Most of us have two jobs; we don’t do this for the money. We do it because we love what we do and do our best to help the community,” said Harris. Crews work 12-hour shifts and have two EMTs on every truck. “We often have a third EMT in-training on a “ride along” to sharpen the skills they learned in class.
Folks train with us from all over. Most recently we’ve had trainees from Cleveland Community College and from Gaston, Rutherford, and Cherokee counties,” Harris said. Originally, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad was located on Parker Street, with only two bays and cramped quarters. That location was their home for 50 years. Harris said, “We now have 3 pull-through bays and much more space than at the former location.” They are currently located at 1324 Shelby Road. EMTs spend a lot of time together during their 12-hour shifts. Harris said, “Former Captain Jonie Blanton describes it best when he said,
Secure his dreams Protect his future with life insurance from Auto-Owners Life Insurance Company, because it’s not about your life, it’s about theirs.
“We spent more time here than we did with our own families.” For 60 years, the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad has likely helped every family in the Kings Mountain in one way or another. They have spent countless hours serving the citizens and saving many, many lives. Sadly, they can’t
save everyone. Harris commented, “When we lose someone, those days are the hardest. But when we do save someone’s life, that is a good day. And when their family members thank us, it makes us love the job even more. It doesn’t get any better than that!”

TRYON EQUESTRIAN CENTER Photos by Erik Olsen
Huge equestrian event galloping our way By Alan Hodge Special to the Herald One of the largest sporting events in North Carolina history will be taking place in a couple of months at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Located at 4066 Pea Ridge Rd, just off US74 near Mill Spring, TIEC is only a short drive from Cleveland and Gaston Counties. Horseback heaven is a good way to describe TIEC- it had a “soft opening” in June 2014 with sanctioned horse shows and initial supporting amenities including 10 riding arenas, 850 permanent stalls, a covered riding facility- but now many more attractions are already open and even more planned. Starting in September, Tryon International Equestrian Center at Tryon Resort, will host the FEI World Equestrian Games making it one of the world’s premier equestrian lifestyle destinations. The FEI World Equestrian Games™, are held every four years in the middle of the Olympic cycle, they’re the property of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), the world governing body for horse sport recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It is one of the biggest events on the global sporting calendar, combining World Championships in the Olympic disciplines of Jumping, Dressage and Eventing, the Paralympic discipline of Para-Equestrian Dressage, as well as Driving, Endurance, Vaulting and Reining. The inaugural FEI World Equestrian Games™ were hosted in Stockholm (SWE) in 1990. Since then the Games have been staged in The Hague (NED) in 1994, Rome (ITA) in 1998, Jerez (ESP) in 2002, and Aachen (GER) in 2006. The first Games to be organized outside Europe were the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Kentucky (USA) 2010, where 57 countries were represented
by 800 human athletes and their horses. The Games returned to Europe for the 2014 edition, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™, which was held in Normandy (FRA). The 2018 WEG has the potential to be the largest sporting event in North Carolina history with over $400 million dollars of projected economic impact and 500,000 spectators over the 13-day event September 11 through 23. TIEC is preparing for a daily attendance of 40,000 – 50,000 people. The event will likely impact on Cleveland and Gaston counties as well. “Definitely there will be economic impact here when up to 500,000 people attend the largest sporting event ever in North Carolins. “It’s an international event, so people will be coming from all over the world. We’re going to be hearing a lot about the Equestrian Games for the next few months.” In addition to the spectacular horse shows, TIEC visitors also have the opportunity to enjoy some fine dining on-site. TIEC boasts a diverse range of affordable dining options, whether you’ve planned a family night out with the kids or an intimate evening of casually elegant dining with close friends. Open every week, 50s-inspired Roger’s Diner offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a menu of classic and southern favorites like burgers, patty melts, grits and milkshakes along with breakfast all day. Also offering lunch and dinner service and indoor

Kings Mountain’s state champion 13-14 year-old Dixie Boys all-star team will be going after the national championship August 4-8 in Bossier City, Louisiana. Pictured, front row, left to right are Charlie Melton, Marty Lovingood, AJ Wylie, Cole Irby and Landon Jenkins. Back row, left to right, Coach Eddie Lovingood, Coach Brad Melton, Lane Essary, Chris Ruffalo, Boone Cartee, Devin Pressley, Zane Brockman, Alex Woody, Coach John Gamble and Coach Mike Brockman.
KM Dixie Boys roll to state championship, next stop World Series in Bossier City, La. Kings Mountain’s 13-14 year-old Dixie Boys allstars rolled to the state championship last week in Winnabow, NC, and are now headed to the Dixie Boys World Series August 4-8 in Bossier City, Louisiana. The Kings Mountain team made quick work of all of their opponents in last week’s state tournament, scoring 64 runs and allowing only one in its five
games. Kings Mountain shutout its first three opponents, but briefly fell behind in its fourth game when Seth Jackson, the leadoff batter for Sampson County, hit a home run to give his team a 1-0 lead. Kings Mountain came back quickly and posted a 13-1 victory, its fourth straight win on the mercy rule, and followed that with a 10-0 win over Columbus
County in the championship game. After Jackson’s leadoff homer, KM pitcher Lane Essary responded by getting the next batter on a fly ball and striking out two more to end the inning. Kings Mountain took the lead in the bottom of the second, scoring four runs on hits from Chris Ruffalo, Devin Pressley, AJ Wylie and Boone Cartee. KM would add eight more runs
in the third inning and another in the fourth to end the game on the 10-run mercy rule. Essary pitched all four innings, allowing just the one run on three hits. He struck out ten. Cartee, Ruffalo and Pressley led the KM offense with two hits each. Zane Brockman, Alex Woody, Landon Jenkins and AJ Wylie added a hit apiece. Kings Mountain wasted
hole in that playoff to earn the No. 15 seed and never looked back. He won his first two matches 1 up and his last two matches 2 and 1 on route to his first CGA title. Through nine holes in the championship match Spicer held a 1 up lead, but gained a 2 up lead after a par on hole 15. He would lose the next hole after Helms made par, but finished the match off on number 17.
WILL SPICER
Barrett hits .307 in first pro season Kings Mountain’s Daniel Barrett recently completed the 2018 season with the professional Garden City, Kansas baseball team in the Pecos League. Barrett compiled a .307
batting average with five home runs and a .487 slugging percentage and .449 on-base percentage. His very first professional hit was a home run in Trinidad, Colorado.
KMHS women’s tennis practice begins July 30 The KMHS women’s tennis team will start practice on Monday, July 30 at 6:30 pm. All participants need to have an updated physical
on file before they begin any practice session. Contact Coach Rick Henderson via text message, email or call for any questions or concerns.
Alex Woody pitched the first four innings to get the win. He struck out nine. Chris Ruffalo pitched the fifth, fanning two, and Charlie Melton pitched the sixth and also struck out two. Kings Mountain ended the game with 11 hits, led by Essary and Brockman with three apiece. Ruffalo added two while Cartee, Wood and Wyle had one each.
Touchdown Club seeking members for 2018-19 year
Will Spicer 2018 state golf champ Will Spicer of Kings Mountain is 2018 North Carolina Junior Boys' 13 and Under champion. Spicer won three matches on the second day including a 2 and 1 victory in the championship match against Parks Helms of Fayetteville. Spicer shot a ten-overpar, 80 and had to compete in a three-man playoff for the final two spots in the championship flight. Spicer birdied the first
little time taking charge of Columbus County in the championship game, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first. Zane Brockman doubled with two outs and scored when Alex Woody reached base on an error. Chris Ruffalo’s single plated Woody. Kings Mountain added three more runs in the second inning, three in the fourth and closed it out with two in the sixth.

Kings Mountain Touchdown Club is kicking off its annual membership drive and is looking for new members to join with returning members in making the overall Mountaineer athletic program one of the best in the state. The school has won its conference Wells Fargo trophy for three of the past four years and is quickly becoming one of the top 3A programs in the state. This is the 12th year of the Touchdown Club. Its success has not only made a big impact on the athletic program, but in the facilities as well. The new Brinkley Field House, concession stand and weight room are some of the nicest in the state. In fact, the recently renovated weight room which added $223,000 in state of the art weight equipment and a new roof, is the best high school weight room in the state according to the company that sold it. Club president David Brinkley said the improvement in the KMHS facilities is the result of a lot of hard work and devotion of members of the Touchdown Club and other individuals and business and industries in the greater Kings Mountain area. “We had a record setting golf tournament recently, raising over $61,000,” Brinley said. That is the club’s major fund-raising effort each year, but memberships also play a key role in the success of the organization. The club will continue the same format of meetings, eating and reviewing of films as it did last year. Meals are provided at no cost to the members, wives and guests (no children). Dates will change slightly this year
to accommodate the football schedule. Mark your calendar for this schedule: -Tuesday, August 14 at 6:30 – meal provided by the Cooking Maniacs (BBQ). -Tuesday, September 25 at 6:30 – Bobby Childers’ famous spaghetti. -Tuesday, October 30 at 6:30 – Chicken and ribs provided by Bobby Etters. -Tuesday, November 20 at 6:30 – Meal provided by Keith Falls. Brinkley said the club’s membership card along with a $20 Booster’s Club parking pass will allow members to park behind Kings Mountain Middle School. Persons planning to attend the August 10 dinner meeting should respond as soon as possible to brinkleym15@gmail. com or call 704-739-4689. The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club is a 501C3 nonprofit organization. Money is raised at the annual golf tournament and membership drive. All money raised supports the KMHS athletic program. The following levels of membership are: -First down - $100. -Second down, $200. -Third down, $300. -Fourth down, $500. -Coaches Club, $1,000 and up. Members and prospective members are asked to have their dukes in by August 24, the date of the Mountaineers’ first home football game. Make your tax-deductible check payable to Kings Mountain Touchdown Club and mail to PO Box 2017, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. You are asked to provide your email address to help control mailing costs.

Moss Lake event to offer disabled a chance to ski
Kids (and adults) who never thought they would be able to water ski because of a disability will have the opportunity to do just that when Wake the World comes to Moss Lake at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 6, 2018. “Wake the World is a non-profit organization that offers recreational water sports events for disabled or disadvantaged children or adults,” says organizer Chuck Hoyle. “The event on Moss Lake will focus on disabled children who have been physically unable to participate in water sports events such as water skiing or tubing.” Wake the World uses adaptive skiing equipment that allows a participant to engage in a range of water sports, from skimming the surface in an inner tube to sit-skiing to using a modified wake board. Hoyle is paralyzed from the waist down and is an avid adaptive skier. He is organizing the event for Wake the World. “Adaptive water skiing has been a wonderful addition to my life, and I want to share it with as many kids as we can. We are offering this event for disabled children to try something they may have
never tried before.” Volunteers are needed to help with the event, says Hoyle. “We need folks to help the children in the water and to get up on the skis and to help with logistics on the dock.” Participant spaces are limited, so those interested are asked to call Hoyle at 704-734-1050 as soon as possible. Volunteers can also call this number to sign up to help. Volunteer training is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2018. For more information about Wake the World, visit the organization’s website at www.WakeTheWorld.org.

What’s the Difference Between Alzheimer’s and Dementia? Dear Savvy Senior, What’s the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia? My aunt has dementia, but they don’t know if she has Alzheimer’s disease, which is very confusing to me. Trying To Understand
ness that is the most common cause of dementia. Though many diseases can cause dementia, Alzheimer’s – which affects 5.7 million Americans today – accounts for 60 percent to 80 percent of dementia cases, which is why you often hear the terms used interchangeably.
Dear Trying, Many people use the words “Alzheimer’s disease” and “dementia” interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. In fact, you can have a form of dementia that is completely unrelated to Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s what you should know.
But there are many other conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia like vascular dementia, which is the second most common cause, accounting for about 10 percent of dementia cases. Vascular dementia is caused by a stroke or poor blood flow to the brain.
Dementia versus Alzheimer’s Dementia is a general term for a set of symptoms that includes memory loss, impaired communication skills, a decline in reasoning and changes in behavior. It most commonly strikes elderly people and used to be referred to as senility.
Other degenerative disorders that can cause dementia include Lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Frontotemporal dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Huntington’s disease and Korsakoff Syndrome. Some patients may also have more than one form of dementia known as mixed dementia.
Alzheimer’s disease is a specific ill-
Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, but the symptoms can vary depending on the cause. In the case of Alzheimer’s disease, protein fragments or plaques that accumulate in the space between nerve cells and twisted tangles of another protein that build up inside cells cause the damage. In Alzheimer’s disease, dementia gets progressively worse to the point where patients cannot carry out daily activities and cannot speak, respond to their environment, swallow or walk. Although some treatments may temporarily ease symptoms, the downward progression of disease continues and it is not curable. But some forms of dementia are reversible, which is why it’s important to be evaluated by a physician early on. Vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, brain tumors, depression, excessive alcohol use, medication side effects and certain infectious
diseases can cause reversible forms of dementia. Another treatable form of dementia is a condition known as normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is caused by a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain that can be relieved by surgically implanting a shunt to drain off excess fluid. This type of dementia is often preceded or accompanied by difficulty walking and incontinence. To learn more about the different types of dementia, including the symptoms, risks, causes and treatments visit the Alzheimer’s Association at ALZ.org/dementia. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Gabriel Muscat aims for success as archer By Alan Hodge Special to the Herald
Gabriel Muscat, 17, of the Crowders Mountain community doesn't wear green leotards, have a band of merry men, rob from the rich and give to the poor, or hang out in Sherwood Forest, but by George he can shoot a bow and arrow just as well if not better than the legendary archer Robin Hood. That fact is evident when you look at the many trophies and college scholarship offers Muscat has earned since he began competitive archery earlier this year. Muscat, who is home schooled by his mom Ginger and also takes high school level classes online, says he got interested in competitive archery
via some friends who attended Pinnacle Classical Academy charter school in Shelby. The Pinnacle Classical Academy Thunderbirds archery team has participated in both individual and team competitions as part of the Archery Shooters Association (ASA) tournaments that are held at a variety of locations. The Pinnacle team has won national and state championships. “I went with them to a tournament at South Mountains,” Muscat said. “I had shot bows and arrows all my life but the tournament was similar to golf where you walk from target to target. It was interesting and I shot really well.” Just how well? Muscat won.
“I was kind of surprised,” he said. Since then, Muscat has taken part in around thirty other archery tournaments at courses in locations such as Brown Mountain, Lake Wylie, and Shelby. Shooting a course takes about two hours. He's won his class in all but one event and in that one he scored second place at a national meet in Illinois. Muscat shoots a “recurve” bow. It is a more traditional type but made of modern materials. He made his own bow from parts. “It's made of carbon fiber and aluminum,” he said. “I spent about $180 for the parts.” Muscat says some of the other competitors shoot with bows costing thou-

sure no razor edge. When he's at a tournament, Muscat is focused. “You have to concentrate and not let your mind wander,” he said. He says he practices most every day. Muscat has attracted the attention of college archery teams. He's got a stack of scholarship offers from places like Georgetown College, Blue Mountain College, Campbellsville University and the University of Pikeville. “Archery is just like any other college sport,” Muscat says. But for now, Muscat has to finish his high school and gain a year or so in age. Muscat encourages others his age to explore archery as an alternative to more traditional sports like
football. “It's a lot of fun if you like competition,” he said. “If you enjoy the outdoors you will love it.” Mom Ginger agrees. “I'm all about his archery,” she said. “It's actually safer than a contact sport.” As for the future, until he reaches college age, Muscat will be shooting in tourneys, even though the travel can cost a lot. He says he's open to sponsorship in that regard. There's also the idea of giving lessons or coaching other archers. Interested in talking archery with Muscat? Call 704-913-6706 (dad Mike's phone) and let the arrows fly.
