Catawba Indian Nation breaks ground for a multi-million dollar casino Project represents $273 million investment and many jobs for Cleveland County; surrounding counties

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Special to Herald

Last Wednesday, July 22, representatives from the Catawba Indian Nation, located in Rock Hill, S.C., and the City of Kings Mountain, and from Cleveland County, met to break ground for the Catawba’s Casino Resort Project.

The group of individuals met at 10:30 a.m., at the Catawba’s 16-acres of land set aside for the casino, just off Exit 5 on I-85, the actual address being 260 Dixon School Rd., Kings Mountain.

In a Monday, July 20, media release from Tribal Administrator Elizabeth Harris, there was limited space available due to COVID-19

restrictions, and the expected mask and social distancing guidelines and rules were in place.

Catawba Chief William “Bill” Harris, after brief introductions of all those who were invited to speak and take part in the auspicious occasion, said, “We are privileged to work with the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners and the City of Kings Mountain. We are also pleased to be working with Delaware North as well as Sky Boat Development.”

Chief Harris spoke about the history of the Catawba Nation and the tribe’s close historical ties with first the English during the French and Indian War, then with the Colonial Americans, when they later took up arms against the British in the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Lewis’ barn quilts honor loved ones

By Loretta Cozart Emma Kay Lewis has been making barn quilts for six years and does so to honor loved ones by incorporating their interests in the pattern.

“I consider barn quits an extension of traditional quilting, which I also enjoy. Both continue the tradition of story telling, a means of passing on history and what is important to a person,” she said.

While barn quilts have been around for many years, there's been a spike in popularity in the last two decades.

“The first two barn quilts I painted were for my daughter,” Emma Kay explained.

“My daughter lives in South Carolina and I fell in love with barn quilts because it creates a whole different way See LEWIS, Page 6

LOCUST GROVE, GA – Mary Louise Allen died peacefully at the home of her son and daughter-in-law in Locust Grove, GA. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, she was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Elizabeth Harn Ammons of Largo, FL, her father Henry Bevins McMullin of Largo, FL, her sister Thelma Brannnon of Largo, FL, and her husband of 68 years, Rev. James E. Allen of Greenwood, SC. She leaves behind her brother, Charles Jowers (Kim) of Estill Springs, TN, her son Rex Allen (Dianne) of Locust Grove, GA, her daughter Vickie Allen Laurenzi (Larry) of Memphis, TN, grandsons Brian Allen (Megan) of Locust Grove, GA, and Brad Allen (LaShane) of Miami, FL, granddaughters Tori Ledford (Brandon) of Memphis, TN and Lindsay Allen Salcedo (Dave) of West Palm Beach, FL, great grandsons Zachary Allen of Lake Worth Fl, Bailey O’Keefe, Connor James O’Keefe, and Wyatt Salcedo of Wellington, FL, and Liam Allen of Locust Grove, GA. Raised in the Church of God Home for Children in Cleveland, TN from the age of 5 until she was 16, Louise married James E. Allen and partnered with him in his ministry, faithfully serving by his side for almost 67 years. Their service took them from Yakima WA, to Grenada, Marks, and Cleveland, MS, and from there to Chicago, IL, St. Thomas, USVI, Northport, AL, Minneapolis, MN, Memphis, TN, Nassau, Bahamas, Greenwood SC, Gastonia and Kings Mountain, NC, and Boynton Beach, FL. Upon retirement from full-time ministry, Louise and James were finally able to return to Greenwood, SC, which they always considered their true home. Even though they were officially retired, they still served in part-time ministry at the Hodges Church of God in Hodges SC. In July of 2015, Louise and James moved to Locust Grove, GA to be near family in their declining years.

As an adult through her first cousin, Elizabeth Gemmer (deceased), Louise became reunited with her biological family in Florida. For many years now, she has enjoyed a loving and supportive relationship with her brother, Charles Jowers, and her cousins Ron Harn and Marilyn Ward, both residing in Largo, FL. Louise loved music and enjoyed serving as the church pianist wherever they lived as well as focusing her attention on the children, which always captured her heart. Being raised without a mother of her own, she had great compassion for all children everywhere, but most especially for those in need.

Therefore, in lieu of flowers, we have selected two organizations that provide services for children. Memorials may be made in her honor to the memorial fund of Mary Louise Allen at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (stjude.org) 800-822-6344 or to Youth Villages (youthvillages.org) 901251-5000 in memory of Mary Louise Allen.

Due to the pandemic, Louise will be cremated and her ashes will be placed in the urn with her husband’s ashes until such time the family feels it is safe enough to gather in Largo, Florida, where she and James will be finally laid to rest together in the Rousseau/Harn family graveyard.

vehicle moving violation, seat belt infraction or unlawful use of a mobile phone.

• Have received training and passed a driving course from a certified North Carolina driving school approved by NCDMV within the previous 12 months and have not been convicted of a motor vehicle moving violation, seat belt infraction or unlawful use of a mobile phone.

Sheriff’s Narcotics Division stops $75,000 in drugs from entering the state Cleveland County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division and Community Interdiction Team conducted a vehicle stop on 1-85 on RAMIREZ July 18.

The vehicle being driven by a Janny Ortiz Ramirez, 34, of Winston Salem.

During the traffic stop approximately 3,084 grams of cocaine with a street value of approximately $75,000 was seized. Ramirez was transported to the Cleve-

land County Detention Center where she was given a $150,000 bond and later released pending court.

She was charged with trafficking by possession of cocaine, trafficking by transportation of cocaine, fail to maintain lane control, and open container of alcohol.

cense of the appropriate length for their age, either eight or five years.

How to Get Your License Those qualified for a road test waiver must make an appointment at a DMV license office. Chose “Driver License – First Time” as the type of appointment, then pick an office and select a date and time.

Level 3 drivers do not need to return to take a road test.

Waivers under this special provision do not apply to drivers who are governed by Legal Presence or Lawful Status or drivers in the Medical Review program.

This waiver will remain in place until DMV resumes road tests, which is anticipated when the state reaches Phase 3 of its re-opening.

job opportunities by saying, “Today, we celebrate the thousands of jobs that will be created; we celebrate the economic growth that will come about.”

Regarding that economic growth: it is estimated that a total of $428.1 million will be realized as far as an annual economic impact is concerned. The breakdown is as follows: $308 million (once operational, in per year of direct economic activity and employment of an estimated 2,600 workers); $77.3 million (an additional per year in indirect impact through local purchases from local business); and another $42.8 million per year in induced impact from employer expenditures, according to information provided by London & Associates (February 2020). This same study projects that construction activity alone will generate $311 million, with a “total employment of 2,347 from direct, indirect, and induced effect”, as per that same media release.

Harris continued, “Today the Catawba Nation wants to express it gratitude to Kings Mountain, Delaware North, Cleveland County, and Sky Boat, as well as others as this project unfolds.” Some of those others he talked about include U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham, Richard Burr, Tom Tillis, and Sen. Scott for their 2019 support that encouraged the request to accept the 16 acres of land into trust for the Catawbas. That decision is still being contested by the Cherokee Tribe but the casino continues to move forward, noted Chief Harris, in a March 2020 article in the Eagle.

According to the Project History & Timeline handed out at the groundbreaking, the projected Introductory Phase, complete with 1,300 operational gaming devices is possibly summer of 2021.

Kings Mountain Mayor Scott Neisler, who was one of the project leads, along with Cleveland County Commissioner Johnny Hutchins, was quoted on the handout as saying, “Finally, the Catawbas have the opportunity to perpetuate their culture as a meaningful elevation of their place in North American history.

OPINION

Wednesday, July 29, 2020

TODAY’S QUOTE: My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

–John F. Kennedy

Pieces of Kings Mountain History Two years ago, David Stone and his family moved from the Crowders LORETTA Mountain COZART area to Kings Mountain when they began purchasing and restoring key properties in Kings Mountain’s history.

Their company, Stonewright Properties, LLC, is owned by David, his wife Janet, and their son, Christopher. You might recognize Christopher Stone’s name from his performances in Liberty Mountain over a six-year span. The family’s love of history, historic landmarks, and all things old runs deep as is evidenced

by the properties they purchase and things they collect.

David understands what is required to restore and preserve historic buildings, both commercial and residential, through his real estate work. He also sits on the Historic Shelby Foundation board.

In 2019, Stonewright Properties purchased the W.A. Mauney home at 107 N. Piedmont and the Bonnie Mauney Summers property at 1220 N. Piedmont, becoming the owners of two of the most historically significant properties in the community.

Their most recent purchase occurred on April 30 for property at 138 W. Mountain Street, formerly

known as Friendly Billiards. Although, the history of this building goes back almost a century as it was the first modern theater in Kings Mountain and the first built exclusively for that purpose.

Looking Back

This photo was taken in 1959 near the intersection of Battleground Avenue and Mountain Street looking east. On the left side of Mountain Street is Carlisle Studio. Further down that side of the street, businesses included Friendly Billiard Parlor(134) and the Imperial Theater (130), which had a sign high on the building and a canopy marquee. The building between them (132) was vacant. Central Barber Shop was next (128). Just beyond, Sterchi’s Furniture (126) and Grayson’s Jewelry (124) complete the shops in that block.

LETTER TO EDITOR I would like to take this opportunity to thank Preston Brown, co-owner of Hound’s Drive-in, for the awesome job he has done to bring great entertainment to this great historic city of Kings Mountain, North Carolina and surrounding area.

Who would have thought in 2016 when the first screen was built what a huge success it would become here in our little community? Only two years later in 2018 another screen was added to accommodate all the loyal patrons that enjoy different events that are presented.

Due to the success of the first two screens, a third screen was scheduled to be finished in 2020, however, prior to the grand opening, a storm caused significant damage causing delays. It is being reconstructed and will be opening in the near future.

Then the Covid 19 virus

pandemic caused havoc all over the world and the world came to a standstill.

During Phase 1, the government mandated stay at home orders and we complied. No church services, no schoos, no shopping, no movies, etc. The Class of 2020 could not have sporting events, no proms, and no graduations. So, Preston Brown offered Hound’s Drive-in for church services, graduations, concerts, old movies, etc. All offers were gladly accepted to bring back a sense of normalcy.

As Kings Mountain resident, I had never been to Hound’s Drive-in until the Garth Brooks concert, and wow, what an experience it was! It was a sold-out event streaming live from Nashville, Tennessee and Hound’s Drive-in was one of those that was chosen for the event. Before the main attraction, the National Anthem was played,

and it was an amazing and emotional tribute to this great United States of America. People got out of their cars, removed their hats and put their hands over their hearts to show great respect to this great country’s flag. Garth Brook’s performance was awesome. Lots of horn blowing, shouts and singing. It seemed everyone had an amazing fun filled night. For my first time visit to Hound’s Drive-in, this was an experience I will remember and treasure for a lifetime.

If y ou have never been to Hound’s Drive-in, I highly recommend it for an aedventure you will remember always. It is a family friendly, non nonsense accepted, kind of place.

Hope to see you there!

Respectfully yours, Jan Deaton Kings Mountain, NC

The first task Stone took on with the newly acquired building was to repair the leaky roof and address other issues related to those leaks. The ceiling downstairs was taken down to the studs and the moisture issues have now been corrected.

The building itself is equal in size to 213 S. Battleground Avenue, with approximately 10,000 square feet combined across two levels. “Our thought about this building is to divide it into two retail spaces or keep it as a single,” David Stone said. “If we keep it single, we’d love to see a general store here. We think they could use the courtyard outside for a farmers market in the little alleyway, which would be a big draw. The other idea might be a tea and spice shop” “To me the town needs three to five good anchors.

Getting anchor stores to come in is difficult, because they have to be willing to see forward with you,” he said.

greatest people in your life.

I once heard someone say, “The person who loves God most is at his post when all the others have walked away.” It’s true with a friend. A real friend will be there regardless. How many people do you have in your life who will come to you if you are 200 miles away and your car is broke down?

Who will try to wire $500 to you if you are in a distant town and lose your wallet?

What if your business fails, you file bankruptcy, divorce, get a terminal illness or do some stupid things in your life? You may have already found out how people shy away from you during a life upheaval. Often, they don’t know what to say or do and so they walk away or become distant. They aren’t real friends. A real friend doesn’t walk away. A real friend doesn’t tell you what you want to hear but may tell you their thoughts without trying to wound you. They talk to you in love and in friendship.

So… how many friends do you really have?

Live by Faith Faith has a track record of victory and success.

It will shield from heartache, anxiety, and distress.

(4th & Final Part of the “Power of Faith” Series) When something is repeated multiple times, it is an indicator to pay close attention. Throughout scripture, “The just shall live by faith” is mentioned in Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38. Faith is the foundation of Christian life. We must believe in Jesus DANYALE PATTERSON Christ and accept him as Savior and Lord, in order to have a relationship with God. Then we must walk in faith in every area of life. I wrote the following poem about faith. I hope you enjoy the poem and then review the principles that follow it.

“FAITH” Faith is the assurance of things we desire.

It moves mountains and takes us higher.

It is the proof of things we do not see.

It’s the conviction of their reality.

Faith caused barren women to conceive.

The dead were resurrected for those who believed.

They subdued kingdoms and became resistless in fight, Stopped the mouth of lions, and turned armies to flight.

They administered justice and promises were obtained.

They escaped the edge of the sword and fires were contained.

To please God - faith is the only way.

And He rewards those who diligently seek his face.

FAITH PRINCIPLES • Faith pleases God. “And without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” - Hebrews 11:6 • Faith is a protective shield. “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” - Ephesians 6:16 • Love should be the foundation of faith. “If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I

Page 5 have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” - 1 Corinthians 13:2 • Faith requires action. “But someone will say, “One person has faith, another has actions.” My answer is, “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions.” - James 2:18 • Faith focuses on God and his promises in the Bible and not the circumstance. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” Corinthians 5:7 • Increase your faith by meditating on the Word. “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

- Romans 10:17 PRAY THIS PRAYER: “I love you, Father. I enjoy spending time with you and resting in your love. Forgive me for doubt and unbelief. I want to be a person of strong faith, that pleases you. Help me to trust in you with all my heart and not to depend on my own understanding. I know your thoughts are higher than mine. I want to have a steadfast reliance on you and have unwavering confidence in your power, wisdom, and goodness. In Jesus’ name - Amen.”

2020 District 2 Daughters of NCSDAR meeting

NCSDAR District 2 holds annual meeting virtually The Daughters of NCSDAR District 2 gathered virtually to hold their annual meeting. Robin Masters Meyer, District Director was sad not be able to thank the Daughters in person for their support of her as she ends her term in office. Mrs. Meyer shared a quote from Past President General of the National Society Pressley Merritt Wagoner that summed up her feelings. “To serve those whom one admires, and respects is an honor. To lead them is an awesome responsibility.” Mrs. Meyer follows in the footsteps of the amazing ladies who have led the District before her most importantly her mother Betty Patterson Masters.

Keeping it in the family, Mrs. Meyer’s niece Cassie Hendricks, CAR MemberAt-Large performed the Na-

tional Anthem with her friend Lauren Cyr. Two other District Daughters shared their vocal talents with the group.

Libby McAteer, NCSDAR State Historian, past District 2 Director and member of the Major William Chronicle Chapter in Gastonia performed the NC state song “The Old North State”.

Holly Sweet of the Vesuvius Furnace Chapter closed the meeting with “Bless Be the Tie That Binds”. In person meetings always include these three songs and this was an effort to bring some normalcy to the day.

Mrs. Meyer shared an interesting bit of trivia, “One of the chapters in District 2 is named after the man who wrote our state song. The William Gaston Chapter is located in Gastonia. Mr. Gaston was a jurist and a U.S.

GOOD CHILI Darrell Austin 1 pound ground beef ½ stick margarine 2 Tbsp. chili powder 1 Tbsp. red pepper 1 cup catsup Salt and pepper Melt margarine in sauce pan. Add ground beef and stir constantly until brown.

Add other ingredients and simmer about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and leave covered until served. Drain excess grease. Excellent on hot dogs and hamburgers.

Simple but good.

Representative from North Carolina. He was born and is buried in New Bern, NC. Gaston County, the city of Gastonia, and Lake Gaston are all named after him.

Gaston Hall at Georgetown University is also named for him,” she said.

District 2 Daughters elected their new officers for 2020-2023. The ladies elected to serve the district were Director – Zela Beckett of the Daniel Boone Chapter in Boone, NC, Vice-Director – Jennifer Baker of the Vesuvius Furnace Chapter in Denver, NC, Secretary – Gina Abernathy of the John Hoyle Chapter in Hickory and Treasurer – Libby Putnam of the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter in Kings Mountain.

The new officers were sworn in by North Carolina DAR State Regent Carole

Weiss who was able to join the meeting from her cabin in the Virginia Mountains.

Technology can be a wonderful thing. With these ladies in charge the District will continue to work to tie their past to the present in order to gift it to the future.

Recently, Emma Kay learned about the Gateway Trail located just a few miles from her home and she ran a 5K there during the trail’s 10th anniversary.

“I run 5k and 10k races and people have encouraged me to use the trail more often because it is safe, especially during COVID-19.

What sold me on the idea is that everyone shared how safe it was,” she commented.

“While walking the trail one day, I saw a lady walking her little dog. She had a grabber tool and a bag, picking up any trash she saw. I thought how wonderful it would be if everyone did their part to make the Gateway Trail as nice as possible. Then, I realized I could offer my time and talents to create a barn quilt for the trail. That is something unique I can offer to give back,” she said.

Before making barn quilts, Emma Kay spent time with traditional quilting and still makes them.

“My mother-in-law taught me, and I made quilts for my kids when they were younger. As a mom, that’s what I did. I am a very sentimental person,” she said.

“Driving between VA and NC recently, I stopped in at the Visitor’s Center and found that NC has a barn quilt trail. I would love to see Cleveland County develop its own barn quilt trail here. Enough people in the community already have barn quilts and that number will only grow in time, because they are so popular now,” Emma Kay said.

“A pamphlet with a map and addresses could be created that includes the story behind the barn quilts. It would make a great daytrip and give folks something to do now and even after the pandemic is over,” she said.

LEWIS From Page 1 of creating something that connects to a person’s interests on the individual level. “My brother moved to Virginia a few years ago and has a cattle farm, so his barn quilt has cows on it,” she said.

Retiring in September 2018, Emma Kay planned to move to SC to be closer to her daughter. But she found a house she loved in the Bethlehem community of Kings Mountain and decided that it was close enough to visit her daughter easily. Prior to retirement, Emma Kay was an Elementary Teacher Assistant in Wayne County, NC. While vacationing in Western NC 10 to 15 years ago, she saw barn quilts and had to find out what they were about. But with children and obligations, she never found the time

to start. “Five years ago, a friend of mine in Wayne County put a barn quilt up and I decided the time had come for me to begin. My friend was instrumental in getting started properly.

We talked and compared notes on paint, sealers, hanging hardware, and things like that,” she said.

“I’ve made 30 – 40 barn quilts now and they are on display in NC, SC, VA, and PA. Most are made for people I know.”

Barn quilts aren’t only for barns, they can be used on sheds, homes, and fences. Emma Kay also has two-sided ones for mailboxes. Each piece is more complicated to create than it might seem. After priming the plywood square, the artist must transfer her design to the wood. Each section is masked-off and given three coats of paint.

Adjacent colors must be painted at different times due to the tape required for the straight-edge. And after all the paint for the

CHANCE CANNON

Seven Mountaineers pre-season All-State Seven Kings Mountain High senior football players have been selected to the North Carolina High School Football Friday Nights in the Carolinas pre-season all-state team.

Selected to the first team were quarterback Ethan Reid,

wide receiver Kobe Paysour, defensive lineman Javari Wilson and linebacker Dameon Wilson.

Making the second team were junior running back Rashaard Brooks, offensive lineman Blake Davis and defensive back Chance Cannon.

Reid, beginning his second season at KMHS, already holds the school record for most touchdown passes in a single season and was last year’s Big South Conference Offensive Player of the Year.

Paysour was the top pass receiver in the conference for

the second straight year and is already the KMHS record holder for receiving yardage.

Dameon Wilson led the team in tackles and Javari Wilson was voted the Big South Defensive Player of the Year.

Running behind the

blocking of Davis and others, Brooks rushed for over 1,400 yards last season.

From his defensive back position, Cannon was in the opponents’ backfield all night long pressuring the quarterback and tackling the runners.

Two of the KM stars –

Dameon Wilson and Kobe Paysour – have already committed to Missouri and UNC, respectively, and all of the others except Brooks are getting college offers.

After Brooks’ junior year, he should also be highly recruited.

LEGAL NOTICE

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF CLEVELAND

From Page 4

NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND DEBTORS Having qualified on the 23rd day of July, 2020 as Executor of the Estate of ANN G. WILLIAMS; AKA: ANN GOFORTH WILLIAMS: AKA: SADIE ANN GOFORTH-WILLIAMS, deceased of Cleveland County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons, firms, and corporations having claims against the estate of said deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned, Thomas Richard Williams, Executor, on or before the 29th day of October, 2020 or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. All persons, firms, and corporations indebted to the said estate to please make immediate payment to the undersigned.

This the 29th day of July, 2020.

Thomas Richard Williams, Executor Estate of: Ann G. Williams; aka: Ann Goforth: aka: Sadie Ann Goforth-Williams PO Box 380 Polkville, NC 28136 (7/29, 8/05, 12 & 19, 2020)

was done at 213 S. Battleground around the same timeframe. Notes made on the I beam give us the only evidence of the date of their installation.

The upstairs space has most recently been used for storage. The new owners have now cleaned out that space. All that remains is a metal fan that hangs in the center of the ceiling.

If they do decide to divide the space, Stone plans to put lofts upstairs since access there is separate from that of the space below. “If we do divide it,” Stone said, “we’ll put five lofts there of various sizes. But that remains to be determined.”

The old pool tables have been sold and buyers are currently moving them to various locations, along with pool balls and cues. Vending machines line the wall.

A few other items from outside the original facility are being stored in the building for now. “I collect things like reclaimed timber from Firestone Mill,” David said. “I had a storage building in Gastonia and a sink I have here came out of that building. I save stuff like this because I can use it in other projects.”

Luckily, the other two properties the Stone’s own are currently being restored as primary residences for he and his wife, and the other for his son. As those projects near completion, I’ll be sure to share those stories.

Tennis lessons, leagues to begin at new complex Kings Mountain High tennis coach Rick Henderson invites tennis enthusiasts to enjoy the new six-court tennis facility at the high school and consider taking tennis lessons and get involved with a tennis league that is forming.

Henderson said he is looking for tennis enthusiasts of all ages for lessons and leagues that will start in the near future.

“We hope to draw a number of folks that haven’t played in a number of years,” he said. “Hopefully we will draw dozens of folks that are new to the game of tennis as well. We currently have approximately 20 people that have shown an interest in the adult league. I’m not quite sure what day or time the adult league will start but it

will be soon.”

Henderson said he is looking to start in the latter part of August to begin the adult league along with group and private lessons on Saturday mornings.

Former high school players will assist Henderson with the lessons.

“I’m excited about our new tennis complex and know there are hundreds of other folks in the community that are excited as well,” Henderson said.

“We no longer have to dream about having tennis courts in our community.

It’s now a reality.”

Anyone interested in participating in the tennis league and/or lessons, call Henderson at 704-4608066 or email Rick.Henderson2@duke-energy. com.

Camp, Multi-Sports Camp and plans to offer Golf Camp as well as Dance Camp.

Upcoming sports camps there are at capacity of 18 participants, with the exception of Dance Camp that has a capacity of 9 participants.

Adams reaches highest rank possible in karate Dave Adams, a 1963 Kings Mountain High School graduate, was awarded the highest rank possible in the martial art of karate, a 10th Degree Black which is signified by the Red Belt.

Adams was inducted into the Legends of the Carolinas Fraternity of Black Belts In North and South Carolina and is credited as the Power of Karate in North Carolina.

The Museum of Martial Arts for the United States awarded him the History of Generals Award for his years of promoting, teaching, and competing in the martial arts.

His Black Belt line of students has promoted over 2,000 Black Belts who have become teachers, doctors, lawyers, preachers, politicians, nurses, and leaders in their community. Three time NC fighting and form champion, 1967 Tri-State (NC, SC, GA) fighting champion, and 1968 Southern Coast Middle Weight Champion, Adams is recognized as one of the most productive instructors in the county. His Black Belts have won three world titles and their awards and stature has rivaled his accomplishments.

“My goal was to make them better than me,” says Adams. “God has blessed me, so I have tried to bless each of them.”

In high school, Adams played on the football and baseball team. His brother was the late Coach Jerry Adams who made his mark in football while in high
