Bus driver Donaldson ‘hero’ to her kids ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
School bus drivers are the first people to greet students in the morning and the last to say “see you tomorrow” in the afternoon. The men and women who drive school buses take on the responsibility of making sure that boys and girls get to school and return home safely. Brandy Donaldson, a busy wife and mother, has been driving the bus that transports students to and from the Kings Mountain Intermediate School for nine years and she is on a first name basis with each of them. The morning of Jan. 27 began as usual but when the bus got to Barrett Road where she picks up a 12-year-old boy the happy mood on Bus No. 18 took a drastic change. “I stopped and opened
my door and he usually comes right to my bus, but he didn't that morning,'' said Donaldson. “I looked at him and he was yelling and I couldn't hear him because the motor of my bus is right beside me. He gets halfway to the bus and he hollers, “Help me, My Mom and Dad have been shot.” The bus driver quickly got through to the terrified child that he needed to get on the bus, all the while hoping to keep calm on the bus filled with 40 other children who had heard his cry for help. “I didn't know where the shooter was so I drove down the road a little further and called 911,'' she said. People like Sheriff Alan Norman and Cleveland County Schools Director of Transportation David Pless call Donaldson a hero.'' “I was just doing my
Contractors have set a target date of April 12 for the grand opening of the new Foothills Public Shooting Complex. Johnny Hutchins, the county commissioner from Kings Mountain who has spearheaded the project for the past seven years, said “it's a dream come true.” The 55-acre complex on Fielding Road on Highway 150 between Shelby and Waco is an estimated $3 million dollar project with $2 million from the North Carolina Wildlife Association and monies coming from donors. Hutchins said the county had stood out among others for its drive to build a full-service range that would include a 3-D archery range with 20 stands for archery, a 250 yard rifle range and three pistol target shooting bays. The range will also feature two skeet trap facilities and two 50yard utility ranges. A house on the property will house the administration building and plenty of room for gun safety classes, concealed weapons classes, and beneficial for all county law

Hutchins said North Carolina Wildlife “made this happen.''
Estimating that there are 80 million gun owners in the United States, an NRA official at the groundbreaking in the spring of 2015 said that many in that group lack access to an affordable range. Hutchins said the facility is the largest public shooting facility in North Carolina and probably in the

Mayor Scott Neisler is challenging the drafting students at Kings Mountain High School to redesign the Cherokee Street parking lot to maximize the spaces and make it more efficient for parking. The mayor was “Principal of the Day” at the high school last Wednesday and toured the facilities. “I was impressed with the students, the teachers, and the technology particularly in drafting and throughout the Business and Industry Tech building,'' he said. Neisler said that a group of business leaders have targeted signage, lights and parking as three major projects for downtown revitalization which grant monies could be used totaling $96,107. “The drafting students seemed to be excited with helping in the redesign of the parking lot,'' said the mayor.

Marion L. Carpenter
loving wife, mother, grandmother KINGS MOUNTAIN - Marion Laughridge Carpenter, 92, died at Hospice House of Kings Mountain on February 10, 2016, having lived a full life amidst family and friends. Her spirit overflowed with optimism, laughter and joie de vivre. Marion was born in Gastonia, September 12, 1923, along with a twin sister, Shirley. She was the youngest child born to Augustus Lawrence and Laura Rollins Laughridge. Marion and sisters, Shirley and Norma, sang on WGNC radio in their teens as The Laughridge Sisters.

Matthews of Matthews Belk’s and the National Bank of Commerce in Gastonia, and later for First Citizens Bank and BB&T Bank in Kings Mountain. Marion also worked at Carpenter Real Estate for ten years and as a tax listing clerk for Cleveland County. With special gifts of her contagious smile and warm hospitality, Marion welcomed many newcomers to her beloved Kings Mountain as a hostess for Welcome Wagon, sent thousands of greeting cards to brighten the lives of others, and for decades visited those in need as a faithful member of Central United Methodist Church. Marion made friends easily, relished trips to the beach and was an avid member of five bridge clubs for over 50 years. While living in Raleigh the last decade, store clerks would give her bouquets of flowers and strangers would remark on her radiance and beauty. For her 70th birthday, she sailed in Nantucket Bay; her 80th, she cruised the Thames and danced in the aisle of a London theatre. On her 90th, she hosted friends to paint canvases of butterflies, symbolic of the beauty and radiance of her life.

Carpenter, Jr. of Kings Mountain, along with son, Charles T. “Chuck” Carpenter, III and wife, Ellen, and their sons, Troy and Sam, of Norfolk, Va., and their daughter Katie of Charlottesville, Va.; Daughter, Laura Carpenter Bingham, and husband, Warren, of Raleigh and Blowing Rock, NC.

Be prepared and safe during extreme cold temperatures Extremely cold weather is fast approaching, and with it comes a variety of health and safety hazards both indoors and out. To help ensure everyone in our community stays safe and warm, the Cleveland County Health Department offers the following tips for individuals; especially for those who are senior citizens: • Wear trousers, sweat pants, tights or leg warmers • Layer on shirts and a wool sweater or wear a jacket under a warm coat • Don’t forget a wool or synthetic hat; your body loses heat through your head; cover your head! • Mittens are warmer than gloves; they keep the fingers together • In very cold weather, wear polypropylene liners to give extra warmth and draw weat away from the body • Keep dry. Change wet clothing to prevent loss of body heat • Ask a friend or relative to check on you twice a day during exceptionally cold weather • Listen to the media for current weather information • A cordless telephone will not work in a blackout. Be sure you have a standard phone that plugs directly into a jack or a cell phone that is charged. • Keep a flashlight and backup batteries within easy reach • Store a 10 day supply of
prescription medicine and a list of your emergency contacts in the same location • Temporarily close off heat to some rooms • Don’t forget your pets. Make sure they have enough shelter to keep warm and they can get to unfrozen water • Watch for signs of hypothermia. These include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If detected, get the victim to a warm location, and put the person in dry clothing. Wrap their entire body in a blanket. Warm the center of the body first by giving them warm beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible. No one can stop the onset of extremely cold temperatures. However, if you follow these tips, you will be better prepared and safer when they come.
Cleveland Chamber and city officials will cut the ribbon at the new Cleveland County Animal Hospital, 103 S. Watterson St., on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 3 p.m. The public is invited.

Williams' book signing at KMHM Feb. 25 “The Uncommon Bond of Julia and Rose'', a presentation and book signing by Ann Williams, will be featured at Kings Mountain Historical Museum Thursday, Feb. 25, at 5:30 p .m. Admission is free. The new novel by Williams is the story of an unusually close relationshiip between a slave and her mistress on an antebellum Piedmont plantation. In 1860 against the background of impending war, Julia and Rose, each from her own point of view, tells the story of her life. Nearly every event of their half century lived together encumbered by the ever-changing com-
plex institution of slavery. Historian and author Ann Williams will present a program on her new novel, The Uncommon Bond of Julia and Rose. It is the story of an unusually close relationship between a slave and her mistress on an antebellum Piedmont plantation. In 1860 against the background of impending war, Julia and Rose, each from her own point of view, tells the story of her life. Nearly every event of their half century lived together was encumbered by the ever-changing complex institution of slavery. Ann Williams has been immersed in regional history
for over thirty years. She has a particular research interest in antebellum plantation life and cotton farming, and draws on a variety of sources to study slave life especially books and papers written by slaves or former slaves. Ann has authored Your Affectionate Daughter, Isabella, a documented story drawn from family papers about the experiences and adventures of the Torrance family, owners of a Mecklenburg plantation. She is also co-editor of A Life in Antebellum Charlotte, The Private Journal of Sarah F. Davidson, 1837, which portrays Charlotte in a pivotal year of its history.
Give Kids A Smile Day Local Dentists to Provide Free Dental Care to Cleveland County Children in Need Sixty third graders in Cleveland County will be smiling a little brighter thanks to more than $16,000 worth of free dental sealants that will be provided to them during the 18th annual Give Kids A Smile Day this month. On February 12th, 19th, and 25th, these 3rd grade students will be transported to local dental offices who donate their time and services to provide free sealants. The care is being provided as a result of the efforts of the Give Kids A Smile Day, which is a national event sponsored by the American Dental Association, NC Dental Society, local participating dentists, Communities In Schools of Cleveland County, Cleveland County Schools, the NC Oral Health Section, and the Cleveland County Health Department. Give Kids A Smile Day partners with Communities In Schools and the state public health dental hygienist who help identify children who are in need of dental sealants. The number of children seen depends on
the number of participating dentists. It all started back in 1998 with Seal the State in ’98 and continued under a different name, Seal Out, and now it has changed to Give Kids A Smile. This initiative is not just local or statewide, but a national event in recognition of National Children’s Dental Health Month. In the past 18 years, there have been over 2,000 students to receive dental sealants worth $400,000 of free care! Tooth decay affects more children than any other chronic childhood disease, in spite of the fact that it is almost entirely preventable. Nearly ½ of all 5 year olds have experienced tooth decay in baby teeth. According to a NC study, children with poor oral health were nearly 3 times more likely to miss school due to dental pain. 52% of Medicaid-enrolled kids in the United States went a full year without dental care— not even an exam. Every $1 spent on prevention saves $50 in restorative and emergency procedures. Not treating dental disease can lead to lifelong health complications such as malnourishment, bacterial infections, and emergency surgery; not treating infected (abscessed) teeth can be fatal. Dental
disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and poor pregnancy outcomes. Give Kids A Smile increases awareness of the importance of good dental health for children and adults. Thanks to these dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and staff for volunteering their time and services to promote Give Kids A Smile 2016: • Cornerstone Dental Associates (Dr. Kendalyn Lutz-Craver, Dr. Sara Karner, Dr. Steven Doering) • Stroud, Wilson, Thompson Family Dentistry (Dr. James Wilson) • Cleveland County Health Department Dental Clinic For more information please contact Joy Shuford, public health dental hygienist at 704-473-4375 or Communities In Schools at 704-480-5569.

DONALDSON: ‘hero’ to her kids From Page 1A job,'' said Donaldson who has become close friends with the boy's grandmother in Shelby where the young man is attending school. The child's mother and father, Jeffery and Myla Oaks, were allegedly shot in the head by their neighbor, Robert Chad Bridges. Myla Oaks died at the scene and her husband remains in serious condition in a Charlotte hospital. Bridges was charged with murder. “Every time I drive on Barrett Road I will remember,'' said Brandy, who returned to work the next day after the shooting. “These kids depend on me and I love them,'' she said. “Keep that family in your prayers,''

It has started, me what I’m giving the season of up this Lenten SeaLent. A time for son, and I always us to refocus and give them the same realign ourselves answer: I’m not saywith our loving ing. What I’m really Father, and his thinking, is… what will. Joel 2:13 am I adding to my is the hallmark spiritual disciple as Rev. Joshua scripture for a Christians to betMorgan Advent us to focus on ter serve our risen Lutheran Church during this time, Savior. Perhaps, I “Return to the feel compelled to LORD your God, for he is go out of my way to help a gracious and compassionate, stranger, or, thank God for slow to anger and abounding his many blessing spontain love.” That’s great news, neously. No matter what is it not? That our heavenly you do, don’t do it boastFather has so much compas- fully or with malice in your sion for us, that he sent his heart. We are called to be Son to bring us life, and life little Christ’s walking about more abundant. in this word, modeling the Many people have asked love of the Father. And as
we read Joel 2:13, our lives should show what the Father offers us. What if we as a community take on this task of loving our neighbor more; showing compassion instead of attitude; and allowing your life to radiate holy love? Well, if we were to do that, we would see a transformation in our community that would show God’s radical love. It might seem hard at first, but that’s the joy of it… after a while, it no longer seems to be as task, but rather a necessity for Christian living. I often tell the youth and children of my church that Jesus loves them so much, and so do the members of
our congregation. And so many times, when reading correspondents from my congregates, the remind me of that radical love God has for me. So, Kings Mountain, let your light shine in the darkness; let your love concur hatred; and most off all turn your face to God- he is gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love! May the power and transformation of this Lenten Season transform you into Easter people that radiate God’s love. May the blessings of God Almighty, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit bless you now, and forever more! Amen!

VALENTINES TO LEGISLATORS - Senior citizens from the Patrick Senior Center in Kings Mountain sent thank you valentines to legislators. From left, Lorada Mason, Timmy Brown, Guynetha Warren, Sarah Miller, Barbara Crosby and Christine Moore. Photo by LIB STEWART
Statewide advocacy event gives one voice to senior centers Senior centers across the state,including a large number from the Patrick Senior Center in Kings Mountain, recently joined together to mail valentines to legislators, sharing gratitude for funding senior centers and asking for continued support. The seniors mailed Valentines in time for them to arrive prior to Valentine Day Sunday, thanking legislators for their service. This advocacy event was coordinated by the North Carolina Senior Center Alliance (NCSCA). The goal of NCSCA is to provide a statewide organization for senior center professionals to advocate for senior centers, network and collaborate on com-
mon issues, share information, co-market initiatives and provide for additional staff training and development. Federal, state and local funding is vital to senior center programming and allows older adults to participate in free or low cost affordable activities and access needed services. This special valentine advocacy event provides seniors the opportunity to show their appreciation as well as place continued senior center funding at the forefront for future legislative action. A total of 99 senior centers across the state participated in the event. Calvin Vaughn of the Roy B. Culler, Jr. Senior Center in High Point steered the
valentine advocacy event for NSCSA. “The valentines mailed to state legislators gave one voice to thousands of seniors across North Carolina to share what local senior centers mean to them. The local senior center is a link to all services for seniors. It’s a place to maintain good health, volunteer, be involved and remain active. Continued funding for senior centers is vital to our seniors,” states Vaughn. For more information on the North Carolina Senior Center Alliance visit www.ncaoa.org or contact Alliance Chair, Thessia Everhart-Roberts at 336.242.2290 or Thessia. Everhart@DavidsonCountyNC.Gov

the final night tied with the Mountaineers for first place, fell to Crest leaving the Mountaineers all alone at the top. East Burke finished 11-5 in the SMAC and tied Crest for third place, one game behind Shelby. Beating a talented East Burke team wasn’t easy, but
the Mountaineers got some big plays at the end to pull out their 17th victory. They finished 13-3 in the SMAC. East Burke took a 45-43 lead with just over a minute remaining on a three-point shot by Christian Parsons. Kings Mountain’s Josh Helton scored the winning
layup off an assist from Omar Petty with 15 seconds remaining. Helton had an outstanding overall night for the Mountaineers with 12 points, 17 rebounds and two blocked shots. Freshman Zeke Littlejohn joined him in double figures with 11
points. Petty contributed eight points, 13 rebounds and two blocks; Jacob Skidmore had eight rebounds, and Dante Starr had seven points and seven rebounds. The game was close throughout with East Burke leading 11-10 after the first
quarter and KM on top 25-21 at the half and 30-29 going into the fourth quarter. BOXSCORE KM (45) – Hill 3, Littlejohn 11, Petty 8, Starr 7, Skidmore 4, Helton 12.
Clark hits 64 in 2 KM wins
KM wins tourney openers
Kings Mountain High basketball player Hannah Clark had a couple of games last week that she will probably remember for the rest of her life. In the Lady Mountaineers’ final two regular season games, the freshman point guard ripped the nets for 64 points, including 29 in Wednesday’s 63-52 win over Shelby and 35 in Thursday’s 69-61 win over East Burke. In the win over East Burke, she hit eight 3-pointers to tie Cedric Thompson’s school record for a single game. Leeasia Rhodes added 17 points and Miranda Ellis had eight. The win was the Lady Mountaineers’ 10th against six losses in the South Mountain Athletic Conference and left them 13-10 overall. East Burke fell to 13-3 in the SMAC and 16-8 overall. Her 3-point barrage began late in
Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams won their SMAC tournament opening games Saturday at KM’s Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The girls defeated Shelby 45-37 to advance to a second round game tonight at RS Central against the East Burke Cavaliers. The boys defeated Valdese Draughn 67-59. They were scheduled to host East Burke in a second round game last night following a rivalry battle between Shelby and Crest. The championship games are scheduled for Friday night at RS Central and teams that qualify will go into the NCHSAA playoffs next week. Both KM teams have already qualified but pairings will not be announced until this weekend. As the SMAC regular season champions, the KM boys will definitely have an opening round game at home. Senior Miranda Ellis scored 12 of her game-high 20 points in the first quarter as the Lady Mountaineers came out blazing. KM held a 20-8 lead after the first period and was on top 28-17 at the half and 34-25 going into the fourth period. Keniya Brown Smith led the Lady Lions with 12 points. The KM boys blazed to a 20-9 first quarter lead but the Wildcats clawed their way back and made the
the game against Shelby the night before when the Lady Mountaineers came from behind in the final five minutes to win. Clark hit an old-fashioned three with 4:55 remaining to put KM on top for good, 45-43. Shelby was still in the game until the 2:53 mark when Clark (3) and Leeasia Rhodes (1) hit treys on four consecutive trips down the floor to break the game open. Amazingly, Clark was held scoreless in the first quarter as Shelby built a 9-7 lead. Clark scored 11 points, including one trey, and Rhodes added seven as the KM ladies overtook the Lions for a 28-22 halftime lead. KM led 42-39 going into the fourth quarter. Rhodes added 12 points to the Mountaineer cause, as did Chaya Hunter whose strong play under the basket played a huge role in the win.

Mountaineers defeat Shelby Kings Mountain held Shelby scoreless for over three minutes at the end of the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Lions 65-53 in a SMAC showdown Wednesday night at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The win moved the Mountaineers into a tie for first place with the Lions, and the Mountaineers went on to win the conference when they beat East Burke and Crest upset the Lions the following night. Kings Mountain placed four men in double figures, but just as importantly was the defensive effort that held Shelby to its season low output and also held the
Lions’ outstanding guard Quay Kimble scoreless in the second half. After a 12-all tie at the end of the first quarter, the Lions led just once, taking a 23-22 lead with four minutes left in the half. With the Lions on top 2625, the Mountaineers put on a late quarter surge that saw Jacob Skidmore hit a three for a 28-26 Mountaineer lead, and Omar Petty go strong inside for two more buckets and a 32-26 KM lead at the half. The game stayed close in the third period with KM on top 46-42 heading into the final eight minutes. The lead stayed in the
two to five point range most of the fourth quarter until the KM defense put the pressure on. Petty hit a trey for a 56-51 lead with four minutes remaining, and Skidmore hit a bucket inside for a 58-53 lead with just over there minutes remaining. At the 3:11 mark, Josh Helton rebounded a Shelby miss and the Lions couldn’t get a good shot after that. Helton put back a Mountaineer miss at the 2:15 mark, and Skidmore’s thunderous dunk made it 62-53 at the 1:40 mark. Big rebounds by Petty and Helton in the final See KM/SHELBY, Page 3B

These Kings Mountain High football players received awards at last week’s Awards Night at B.N. Barnes Auditorium. Left to right, Bryan Sanders, Chance Frederick, Dre Bell, Micah Randall, Jake Merchant and Marquise Camp.
Bell, Burns, Camp players of the year A huge crowd of supporters were on hand Tuesday night at B.N. Barnes Auditorium to honor one of the best football teams in Kings Mountain High history. All members of the SMAC championship JV team that finished with a 9-1 overall record, and the Western Regional finalist varsity that went 12-3 with all of their losses coming to state finalists, were recognized and received participation awards. The main focus, though, was the major awards that go annually to some of the stars of the varsity team. And, this year, there were many. Before the varsity presentations got underway, Athletic Director Mark Latham pointed out that only 16 out of 379 teams in the state advanced farther than the Mountaineers. Head coach Greg Lloyd said all of the players – not just the major award winners – had a hand in this Mountaineer team scoring the most points (455) than any team in the 93-year history of KM football. Along the way, he said, were some very memorable moments. “For me, one of the most memorable games was when we went up to Freedom and defeated the #1 seed (and the nation’s topranked senior running back, BJ Emmons). “That was one of the biggest wins we’ve ever had.” He also pointed out that the team set a record for the most shutouts in a single season, four, including three in a row. Many of the varsity and JV highlights
were shown at the close of the meeting. Many players won multiple awards. Many of them were seniors who will be missed next season, and many were underclassmen who should be in for another banner season next fall. Players of the Year included Dre Bell, Defensive Player of the Year; Darren Burns, Offensive Player of the Year; and Bryan Sanders, Special Teams Player of the Year. Bell also was named best defensive lineman. Bell enjoyed a banner senior season. His numbers were staggering, and that’s the way the Louisburg College recruit left a lot of players that he hit. Bell led the team with 130 tackles and 42 tackles for loss. He recorded 18 sacks, forced four fumbles and recovered three. “It’s going to be exciting to watch him compete at the next level,” said defensive line coach Micheal Kennedy. Defensive coordinator Darrel Wilson also had good things to say about Bell when he presented him the Best Defensive Lineman award. “He comes from a football family,” Wilson said. “I’ve known the Bell family all my life. I played against many of them. “He is one of the fastest players I’ve ever coached as far as coming off the ball. We will miss him. You can’t replace him, but hopefully we will have some to help us there.” Offensive Player of the Year was junior quarterback Darren Burns, who had the
best passing season in the school’s football history. “He made our team go,” noted Coach Lloyd. “He had an excellent year and grew as the season went on.” Kings Mountain’s special teams improved tremendously, and one of the big reasons was Player of the Year Marquise Camp. Coach Mike Harris said the improvement became evident in the third game of the year against Forestview, when the Mountaineers blocked a punt for a touchdown and then returned the second half kickoff for a TD. He called Sanders’ recovery of a squib kick the “turning point” in the playoff win at Freedom. “He (Sanders) was our go-to guy,” Harris said. “He led the special team in tackles with 14 and also had 12 assists. He came up with a lot of big plays.” Another terror on the defensive side was Chance Frederick, who received the Best Linebacker award. Frederick was a player that seldom came off the field. When he wasn’t on defense making big tackles, he was on offense catching touchdown passes and blocking for his teammates. Frederick recorded 115 tackles, 37 for loss, and four sacks. He intercepted three passes and forced three fumbles. “We had a tremendously good defense,” linebacker coach Jeff Putnam noted. “He was our leader. He never missed a play because of injury or by taking himself out of the game for a break. I am confident he will be successful in whatever he decides to do.”
The best defensive back award went to junior safety Jake Merchant who, like Frederick, seldom came off the field. He led the team with eight interceptions, just three short of the school record of 11 held by Petie McNeil of the 1989 team. DB coach Mark Latham noted that he also had numerous pass break-ups. “He played both sides of the ball and his effort was always at a high level,” Latham said. Merchant and Kavin Mosley received the Best Receiver Award. They combined for almost 2,000 yards receiving, making numerous highlight reel catches and runs after the catches. Both will be back next season. Senior Bryan Sanders received the Defensive Coaches Award. Although listed as a linebacker, Coach Darrel Wilson said he was a “coach on the field” who “played wherever he was needed. “He is a great athlete,” Wilson said. “He has a lot of heart. He’s not the biggest guy but one of the toughest. I wish I could coach him a couple more years.” The Fred Plonk Blocking Trophy, which is the oldest at KMHS originating in 1953, was earned by senior center Max Peterson. “I had a very hard working group of linemen,” noted Coach Kevin Cruise. “Most of them have been with me four years and all are fine young men who did everything I asked them to do. It is very special that they are part of an offense that scored the most points of any team in school history. “Max has a tireless work
ethic in the weight room,” Cruise added. “He’s got his own way of getting people fired up. He is always in the right place at the right time, in sports and in school.” The Best Offensive Back Award went to senior J’Air McCluney, who gained over 1,000 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. Coach Luico Holland called him a “great student, great teammate and great ball player.” Center Gage Kornegay received the Offensive Coaches Award. “He’s not the biggest, fastest or strongest,” Coach Cruise noted, “but he gave everything he had to the team. He is a fine example for every student athlete.” Cruise pointed out that Kornegay was a finalist for the prestigious Bronko Nagurski Award. Junior running back Darian McClain was presented to Toughman Award by Coach Lloyd. Always strong at running back, linebacker and in the weight room, McClain had to overcome some roadblocks this season. He suffered a serious ankle injury early in the year that probably would have put most people out for the season, but he worked his way back and was one of the big reasons the Mountaineers made it to within one game of the state championship. “It was a very difficult injury,” noted Coach Lloyd, “but once he got back he was a big man for us.” Senior offensive and defensive lineman Keenan Baker received the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Weightlifting Award from strength and condition-
ing coach Ted Trahan. He said Baker was among six players over 500 pounds in squats and 20 that did 225 pounds or more in the power cling. He stressed that weightlifting is not something to do just during the season but requires a year round effort. “We didn’t go 9-1 in JVs and 12-3 on varsity by starting in August,” Trahan stressed. “Last week we started again to prepare for next season. This is a prestigious award. It takes dedication and sacrifice.” Game balls were presented to Jake Merchant, Darren Burns and kicker Micah Randall for breaking or tying school records. Merchant set a new school record for career pass receiving yards (1,951); Randall tied the mark for most kicking points in a season (59); and Burns set season records for 25 TD passes and 2,669 yards; and 357 yards in a single game. Other awards included: All-SMAC conference – Chance Frederick, Jake Merchant, Marquise Camp, Max Peterson, Dre Bell, Kennan Baker and Darren Burns. All-Gazette – First team, Keenan Baker, Jake Merchant and Dre Bell; second team, Max Peterson; honorable mention, Darren Burns, Chance Frederick, Marquise Camp, Jair McCluney and Kavin Mosley. All-ClevelandCounty – Chance Frederick, Jake Merchant, Keenan Baker and Dre Bell. AP All-State – Dre Bell.

game interesting until the final seconds. Draughn was down by 41-30 at the half and 55-44 after three quarters but came to within four points of overtaking the Mountaineers in the fourth quarter. Baskets by Josh Helton and Jacob Skidmore on their first two trips downcourt in the final stanza put the Mountaineers on top 5946. But Draughn scored the next seven points and were within 59-51 with five minutes remaining. Draughn’s Jeremiah
Daye hit a three-pointer to make the score 61-56 with 1:50 remaining and the Wildcats’ Myrain Reid canned another trey with 1:15 left to make the score 63-59. That would be the Wildcats’ final points, though, as Skidmore and Helton each came up with big rebounds following Draughn misses, and Demetrius Hill hit three free throws and Helton one to clinch the win for the Mountaineers. Skidmore finished with 22 points and Hill 15 to lead the Mountaineer attack, and Andrew Lilly scored 22 for
Draughn. GIRLS GAME KM (45) – Clark 7, Ellis 20, Pressley 1, Rhodes 8, Wesley 2, Hunter 7. S (37) – Natt 7, Smith 12, McCluney 5, Robbs 7, Brown 4. BOYS GAME KM (67) – Hill 15, Petty 7, Skidmore 22, Starr 7, Helton 6. Littlejohn 9, Mosley 1. D (59) – Reid 15, Justus 2, Lilly 22, Daye 10, Price 8.
KMTD Club Supporters: The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club recently announced the plans for new concession stand and restroom facilities. These facilities will be over 1700 square feet with 8 ladies stalls and 7 men’s stalls. Both restrooms will include entrance and exit doors for ďŹ re protection. Located in the middle is a concession stand with a back porch area to provide the opportunity to grill and deep fry foods. This building is positioned so that anyone working the concession stand will have the ability to view the baseball game from the front and the football game from the back. Four years ago, you were kind enough to be a part in helping us build a new ďŹ eld house. We were fortunate that the public responded as we raised $985,000.00. I would like to ask you to consider participating in the building of the new concession/ bathroom facility. Our fund raising has been a little slow most likely due to the Christmas holidays. Bank of the Ozarks will be supporting the loan for this project. Estimated cost of this project is $265,000.00. The bank is requiring us to have $65,000.00 on deposit before we can break ground. To date, we have $131,000.00 in total pledges, and $37,473.00 in deposits. Bank of the Ozarks is asking for signed pledge forms to use as collateral on this project. It is important if you decide to participate to not only mail a check, but also sign a pledge form. We are asking for a two year pledge. I have attached a pledge form for your convenience. Your generosity helped us achieve our goals in Phase I, and I hope that you will consider helping us in Phase II. I understand there is a large demand on many in our community to raise money. This project is much needed and is very important for the individuals who attend our sporting events at both the High School and Middle School. The Recognition Board will be adjusted up if your gift for both Phases moves you to the next level. Thank you for all of your participation and support of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club. Please remember all gifts are tax deductible because we are a non-proďŹ t organization. Sincerely, David C. Brinkley

Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Husky Cozart As a member of the local DAR chapter, I have a strong interest in the Battle of Kings Mountain. Ida Pauline Neisler was the first Regent of our chapter in 1916; her half-sister, Bonnie Eloise Mauney Summers was the first historian. Growing up in Kings Mountain during the 1960’s and 1970’s resulted in my love for the history of this community and its people. I remember reading the works of Bonnie Summers regarding the forefathers of our city and tried to imagine what life in Kings Mountain was like in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I wasn’t sure why these ladies chose to form our DAR chapter in that year, but I knew they had hoped to name the chapter the “Kings Mountain Chapter” or the “Kings Mountain Battle Chapter,” but the name was already taken by an existing DAR Chapter in York, SC. So, they decided to name the chapter for Col. Frederick Hambright, “because six Charter members were of lineal descendent” and because they considered him to be “one of the bravest officers in the battle.” Last week I stumbled across a pamphlet at the Library of Congress online entitled “Battle at King’s Mountain, Proposed Centennial Celebration, October 7, 1880”. To my surprise, I realized that the individuals who conceived the idea of a centennial celebration were from the City of Kings Mountain. Imagine that! Just five years after the city received its charter on February 11, 1874, our citizens became the impetus for the 1880 celebration of the Battle of Kings Mountain. While reading the program, I found the following passage. I have taken the liberty of using the gentlemen’s full names when I knew them. “A meeting of the citizens of Kings Mountain and vicinity, on Saturday May 24th, 1879, to take the initiatory steps towards the celebration of the centennial of the battle of Kings Mountain. Dr. James Wright Tracy, was called to the chair; Isaac Walton Garrett and William Andrew Mauney were appointed secretaries.” Others noted in the meeting were Capt. William T. Reilley Bell, Dr. Benjamin Franklin Dixon, P.S. Baker, Dr. T.J. Walker, F.S. McGinnis, and R. S. Sugg.” A second meeting was
planned for July 25, 1879 and in that meeting the Kings Mountain Centennial Association was formed. The Executive Committee included the names of Governors of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Committees on “Invitations and Correspondence”, “Ways and Means”, “Historical Records and Relics”, “Monument”, “Troops”, “Police”, and “Transportation” formed. It is obvious that the planners of this event knew that in order to be successful, influential men of means from across the region would be needed to bring their goal to reality. It was at that moment, I realized that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Ida Pauline Mauney Neisler and Bonnie Eloise Mauney Summers, two charter members of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter, were carrying on the footsteps of their father, William Andrew Mauney, who made great effort to honor those who sacrificed much for liberty at the Battle of Kings Mountain. The other charter members of our chapter, and every new member since, joins to honor those who came before and won for us, as Thomas Jefferson said, “the seal of our Independence.” In a Report submitted by the Library Committee, Senate Report 557, Sixtieth Congress, First Session, Mr. Swanson reported: “It was a battle in which there was not a regular soldier of the American Army, but was fought solely by the people of a few States who helped to create the country and to win its independence” It is very humbling to realize that the citizens of Kings Mountain continue to associate themselves so closely with the Battle of Kings Mountain, not to be boastful or to brag. We do so to honor those patriots who sacrificed much for our freedom. They left their families during the height of harvest season, with possibility of Indian raids eminent, to put an end to the treats issued to them by Maj. Patrick Ferguson. Col. William Chronicle and Col. Frederick Hambright, with their “South Fork Boys”, were chosen to lead the men to Little Kings Mountain to meet and defeat Ferguson. They did their job and quickly returned home to their families, without desire for fanfare or praise. To them, God, Home, and Country meant everything.

Scalia’s Death, last thing we need An autopsy should be performed on U.S. Justice Antonin Scalia. His sudden passing was unexpected and shocking news. We’ve heard reports that he died peacefully and from natural causes. In order to Glenn Mollette eliminate all future spec- Guest Editorial ulations and criminal theories and suspicions an autopsy should be done to clear the air about his passing. Families have to make their own decisions and maybe he had a history of health problems that made his sudden passing not so sudden to his family. Could someone have wanted Scalia dead? Who stands to gain the most from his passing? Sadly, very little time has been given to mourning the death of Scalia as a furor has broken out over replacing him on the Supreme Court. Scalia could have very easily died from heart failure as death comes to us all. However, making sure of this through an autopsy would avoid all the crazy tabloid stories, books and ridiculous television investigative stories that could come from his passing. President Obama has every right to make his nomination to replace Scalia. The Republican led Senate has every right to block or stall approving anyone. Remember, this is American politics where nobody gets along. We are talking about the big divide in our nation where it’s all Republicans versus all Democrats and conservatives versus liberals. There is very little crossing of the party line, as Repub-

In the meantime our thoughts and prayers should go out to the family and close friends of Justice Antonin Scalia. While politicians fight to replace him on the court he will not be replaced in the hearts of those who loved him and held him dear. Replacing Scalia will be a news heavy item for several months as the President, Congress and media all weigh in with opinions and political posturing. Don’t expect to see any video on television of the President sitting down with Senator Mitch McConnell, Rubio, Cruz and Harry Reid. There won’t be any long coffee sessions with these politicians discussing, debating, or praying about the next Supreme Court appointee. Such activity would be civil, moral and old fashioned. Expect more liar, liar, liar, ranting and division in this country, which is the last thing we need. Glenn Mollette is an American Syndicated Columnist and Author.

One of N.C.'s best Scenic Byways is just around the corner
By ALAN HODGE The N.C. Department of Transportation has designated 51 scenic byways to give visitors and residents a chance to experience North Carolina’s history, geography and culture, while also raising awareness for the protection and preservation of these treasures. Byways are carefully selected to portray the diverse beauty and culture of the Tar Heel State and provide travelers with safeand interesting alternate travel routes. These byways are in-
tended as an alternative to the faster-paced traffic and commercial areas found along our state’s major highways and interstates. Following the byways, motorists will see some of North Carolina’s most breathtaking scenery, from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west to the fertile plains of the Piedmont to the crystal blue shore of our coast. The Crowders Mountain Drive takes motorists by Crowders and Kings Mountains in Gaston and Cleveland counties.
To begin following the byway, take Exit 10 from I-85 and follow U.S. 29/74 to the community of Mountain View. Exit onto Sparrow Springs Road (S.R. 1125), where the route begins. Follow Sparrow Springs Road and turn right onto Pinnacle Road (S.R. 1104) as they wind around the base of Crowders and Kings mountains. Crowders Mountain, named for a local settler, is one of the peaks in the Kings Mountain Range. The mountain range is about three miles long, extending from the southern end of Gaston and Cleveland counties in North Carolina into York County, S.C. The highest peak, called the Pinnacle, marks the northern end of the range. Its weathered granite cap, called a monadnock, stands above the other peaks as a king stands above his people.
Continue on Sparrow Springs Road as it veers right into the area around Crowders Mountain State Park. The park showcases the local mountains, which are remnants of the ancient Appalachians. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking or rock climbing in the park. Continue following the byway by turning right to stay on Sparrow Springs Road for two miles, and then right again onto Pinnacle Road.The first mile is gravel. Formed in 1841, Cleveland County was named for Benjamin Cleveland, a hero at the Battle of Kings Mountain during the Revolutionary War. Kings Mountain National Millitary Park, located in South Carolina, is the site of that decisive British defeat in 1780. The valley is also known as Sherrars Gap and

separates the Pinnacle from the rest of the Kings Mountain Range. Pinnacle Road changes to Lake Montonia Road (S.R. 2292) at the Cleveland/Gaston County line. Follow this road for about one mile where it intersects with N.C. 161. Turn right onto N.C. 161
North for one-half mile to I-85 where the byway ends. For an interesting side trip, continue into South Carolina to the Kings Mountain National Military Park by turning left onto N.C. 161 South and driving four miles into South Carolina to the park’s access road.
