ducted by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Officials with the Cleveland County Health Department say this improvement from 86 last year to 80 of 100 counties in the state in overall health ranking appears to be primarily as a result of improvement in the measurable outcome of morbidity/quality of life and the health factor of clinical care. In the category of morbidity/quality of life, there was a decrease in reported poor physical health days from 2015 to 2016 as well as a decrease in poor mental health days. In the health factor of clinical care, the percentage of uninsured adults in Cleveland County decreased from 18% in 2015 to 16% in 2016. The pre-
ventable hospital stays among Medicare population decreased and the percentage of Medicare recipients who participated in mammogram screenings increased. The ratio of both primary care physicians and mental health providers to the number of residents in Cleveland County improved from 2015-2016. Public Information Officer DeShay Oliver said that perhaps most noticeable is the regression in Cleveland County's health behaviors ranking from 55 in 2015 to 59 in 2016, mentioning specifically the increase in adult obesity and excessive drinking but there were marked improvements. Adult smoking and the percentage of alcohol-impaired driving deaths decreased as did the rate of sexually transmitted infections and rate of teen births in the county.
The health factors category of Health Behaviors is an area that the health department continues to work diligently to improve. ''We provide numerous programs and information, run media campaigns, and even work to make individuals' environments more conducive to making healthy choices. However, when it comes down to it, the behaviors in this category are individual choices,'' said Oliver. She continued, “Even if armed with the right information, knowledge and resources, someone can still choose to participate in unhealthy behaviors such as excessive drinking, unhealthy eating, or failure to exercise. We want to insure individuals live in an environment that encourages healthy behaviors and individuals have the information and resources to do so. See HEALTH RATINGS, Page 4A

Prayer Shawl Ministry at Senior Center gets another grant for yarn for shawls The late Pat Still's influence in establishing a Prayer Shawl Ministry was remembered last Tuesday when a plaque was placed in her memory and hung on the wall of the Crafts/ Knitting Department at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center. Doyle Campbell, a director of Thrivent Financial, presented a check for $400 to be used for the purchase of yarn to be used in the knitting of shawls which is the service project of the senior group. Receiving this money was based on a grant written by the late Mrs. Patricia M. Still, the catalyst for originating this community service project at Patrick Senior Center.
PAT STILL It is the second contribution to the Kings Mountain senior group from Thrivent, the first was for $500 and was received from a grant written by Mrs. Still. Dr. Still was also present for the presentation
which included the placing of a plaque “in loving memory of Patricia “Pat” Susan Matheson Still, Feb. 4, 1937-Sept. 16, 2014.” The inscription was written by Molly Savage and John Still. “Pat had a beautiful spirit and was an amazing artist. Wonderful art pieces are enjoyed in many homes and houses of worship every where she lived. Her compassionate nature defined her life. It led to the establishment of the “Prayer Shawl Ministry” at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center of Kings Mountain, NC. What better tribute to her life and legacy than to continue the “Prayer Shawl Ministry.”
GRANT TO PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY - Patrick Senior Center participants in the Prayer Shawl Ministry received a $400 grant from Trivent Financial Services, the second grant in a project started by the late Mrs. John Still. Doyle Campbell, a director, made the check presentation last week to Kathy Allred, the leader in the Crafts/ Knitting department of the Center, as other participants looked on with Dr. John Still. Seated, from left, Margaret Malloy, Lois Zeeman, Dixie Blanton, Cathy Carder and Peggy Wells.

HEALTH RATINGS From Page 1A
Then, it is up to them to do the right thing to take care of themselves.” Oliver said that social and economic factors impact an individual’s ability to choose and practice healthy behaviors. For example, healthy foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables and meats are more expensive than processed foods. Individuals may lack transportation, making it more difficult to access grocery stores, health care or physical activity opportunities. Individuals may live in an area where they feel it unsafe to allow their children to play outside, especially in areas that are not well -lit or lack sidewalks and playgrounds.
Oil $ Service
Despite regressions in the social and economic factors, Oliver said there are noteworthy improvements. This is the 7th year of the County Health Rankings, the most comprehensive report of its kind to rank the overall health of nearly every county in all 50 states by using a standard way to measure how healthy people are and how long they live. These rankings help everyone to see how where people live, learn, work and play influence their health and behaviors, said Oliver.

Kings Mountain Historical Museum bids farewell to student intern Tom Urig, a senior at Belmont Abbey pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in History, has just completed a spring internship at KMHM. After several years of work in customer service and sales, Tom decided to go back to school to turn his passion for history into a full-time career. In addition to his internship at KMHM, Tom is gaining experience as a volunteer at Latta Plantation and at the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts & Culture. In a wrap-up paper Tom wrote about his internship, he said of his experience: “During my time as Museum Intern at KMHM, I was able to see their collections of objects, photographs, and archives that it would seem would only be found in Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C. When I was going through the collections to find items from World War I for an exhibit for another museum, I found a small cup that was used by Kings Mountain native C.E. Neisler, Jr. and while I was holding it (with gloves) I was imagining him sitting around a small fire with other Allied troops during the war and trying to imagine what those troops were thinking about their future and what they had already seen. When it comes to studying history, we hear about who won which battle or war, but after I was done looking at the collections from Kings Mountain, it gave
me a far different outlook on history that people from a small town would have such an impact on the world. The City of Kings Mountain has a long history and the people there love to share it. It would be great to see more small towns across the country follow in the footsteps of this community. People from Washington are not the only ones who make history; it is the people from all over the country from small towns that can have an impact on the world.” Nearing undergraduate graduation from Belmont Abbey, Tom was applying for graduate school during his internship at KMHM. One of the benefits of interning is gaining not only the work experience but also the professional recommendations needed for acceptance into graduate school. Tom has been accepted to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s Master’s degree program in History, and plans to begin classes this fall. KMHM Director Adria Focht, who oversees the internship program, said “For me, this is one of the most rewarding aspects of our internship program: helping students get into graduate school and helping them achieve their academic and career goals in the long term. We take the mentorship aspect of the internship process very seriously; students who complete internships here have an advocate in us for life

Eaker says Medicare’s Preventive Services May Help You Stay Well Eaker says Medicare’s Preventive Services May Help You Stay Well Kings Mountain Patrick Senior Center Director Sharon Eaker says your Medicare benefits can do more than help cover the costs of doctor and hospital bills. Medicare’s preventive benefits help you to be proactive with your health in order to avoid serious illnesses or chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Whether you get a flu vaccine, are screened for diabetes or other illnesses, or want help to quit smoking, Medicare preventive services are covered no matter what kind of Medicare health plan you have. Preventive services can catch health problems early when treatment works best and can keep you from getting certain diseases or illnesses. Preventive services include exams, lab tests, screenings, vaccines, monitoring and information to help you take care of your own health. Medicare covers preventive care whether you’re in Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan (also known as a private health plan). If you have Original Medicare, you pay no coinsurance or deductible for certain preventive services if you see a provider who participates in Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans must also cover the full cost for preventive services that are free under Original Medicare as long as you follow the plan’s rules. Call your plan for details. Keep in mind, you may have costs related to some of these preventive services if your provider makes a diagnosis during the service or performs additional procedures.
For example, if your provider removes a polyp during a colonoscopy, the colonoscopy will be considered diagnostic and costs may apply. Eaker lists the following list of preventive services that are covered with no deductible or coinsurance: Welcome to Medicare Preventive Visit; Annual Wellness Visit; One-time Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening; alcohol misuse screening and counseling; mammogram screening; breast examination; cervical cancer screening; colon cancer screening;
depression screening; diabetes screening; heart disease screening; HIV screening; medical nutritional therapy; obesity screening and counseling; osteoporosis screening; prostate cancer screening, smoking cessation; sexual transmitted infection screening and vaccines. If you have questions about Medicare’s preventive benefits, contact SHIIP, the North Carolina Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program, at 855-408-1212 to speak with a trained counselor or to request a free brochure. SHIIP is part of the North Carolina Depart-
ment of Insurance and assists people who have questions about Medicare, Medicare Part D, Medicare supplement, Medicare Advantage and long term care insurance. SHIIP also helps citizens recognize and prevent Medicare billing errors and possible fraud and abuse through the N.C. Senior Medicare Patrol program. Trained SHIIP counselors are available for free, unbiased counseling appointments in all 100 North Carolina counties. Learn more at www.ncshiip. com
BINGHAM: to unveil new book April 7 From Page 1A ranged from Goody’s Powders to the history of Pinehurst Resort to the robbery of a 1930s Chapel Hill hot dog stand to the life of 18th century governor, Samuel Ashe. Given his former long career in financial services, Bingham has been a student of banking and insurance history and he even has a new talk on the history of life insurance, a talk that he promises is livelier than you think. Another favorite subject is George C. Marshall, the 20th century American general and statesman; Bingham has researched Marshall’s life in Pinehurst as a part-time resident from the end of World War II until his death in late 1959. Bingham first heard of President Washington’s Southern Tour in a college history class. Some years later when he decided to
Published by Community First Media, Inc. Lib Stewart - Managing Editor lib.kmherald@gmail.com
pursue public speaking as a hobby, he researched the subject and soon was delivering talks to civic clubs and heritage societies. That was over twenty years ago. The new book chronicles Washington’s Southern Tour, the first president’s visit to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia in the spring of 1791. The trip was the last of three journeys during Washington’s first term in office that carried him to all thirteen states. The closest that Washington came to Kings Mountain during the three-month trip was in his passage through upstate South Carolina to Charlotte. In these trips, Washington was subtly promoting the new constitution and federal government while gaining insight by meeting the people and seeing the country. Bingham met the love of his life in 1981, Kings Mountain native Laura Car-
penter, and they have been married for over thirty-three years. Laura retired as president of Peace College of Raleigh in 2010 after a twelve-year stint, and presently is a business and organizational consultant and partner with Newport Board Group. Since last summer, the Binghams have maintained a Kings Mountain residence to be near her parents, Charles Carpenter and the late Marion Carpenter, who died in February. This Kings Mountain book event kicks off a busy run of appearances for Bingham, who is promoting the book from D.C. to Georgia, and he will be featured later this year on UNC-TV’s “Bookwatch” program with D.G. Martin. Museum Director and Curator, Adria Focht, “invites everyone to join us on April 7 for an exciting presentation.”

Eastside Baptist to present series from Book of Daniel
■ MEDITATION
Shine Your Light On March 19, a buzzard caused a power outage for 3,000 Kings Mountain households. Like many of you, our family was among those affected. DR. JONATHAN Thanks to the M. BUNDON Worship Pastor diligent work of First Baptist Church the Duke crews and our own city crews, power and lights were soon restored. What might have been a minor inconvenience for us today would have been a necessity at the time of Christ. Not electricity, but light. Light was essential to their way of life. When Jesus said in John 8:12 “I am the Light of the World,” he spoke
not of physical light, but spiritual light. Jesus dispelled the darkness of sin and death through his work on the cross. In doing so, he gave us eternal life. Additionally, Jesus goes on in the same passage to say, “Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Christians are to be light bearers, Christ’s ambassadors. So then, let us love the light and hate darkness by sharing the gospel of Jesus. Tell of his coming to earth, life, death, burial, resurrection and second coming. Furthermore, let our lives reflect the light of Christ in us. Instead of adding to the negative talk and hatred on social media and around the water cooler, shine the light of Jesus by encouraging others, helping others, and loving others. Your mission this week, should
you choose to accept it, is to do the following: • share the Gospel with at least one person, • pray with a friend who you know needs it, • speak positive words to your spouse, children, and co-workers, • encourage a friend who may be struggling with an issue. “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16. Go out, shine your light, and be a blessing!
Eastside Baptist Church, York Road, will present a video series, ‘’Agents of Babylon’’ beginning Sunday evening, April 3, at 6 p.m. and continuing each Sunday evening in April through June with the exception of Sunday evenings May 8 and 29 and June 19. Rev. Ron Caulder, Eastside Pastor, extends an invitation to all who would like to learn more of these prophecies as taught by Dr. David Jeremiah, pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California and founder of Turning Point Ministries. “Agents of Babylon” is a video series on the Book of Daniel as taught by Dr. David Jeremiah. The series focuses on what the prophecies of Daniel tell us about the end of days. Daniel was a young man taken into captivity to Babylon in 605 B.C. At first, he didn’t
think of himself as a prophet until God began speaking to him in dreams, visions, and wise understanding that came true. Some things he prophesied came true in his lifetime and shortly after he died, which gives us great confidence about those prophecies yet to be fulfilled. Daniel’s prophecies were delivered to and through a cast of characters that Dr. David Jeremiah calls, “the agents of Babylon.” In “Agents of Babylon”, Pastor Jeremiah introduces the agents and the role they played in the most exciting prophetic book in the Old Testament. As prophecy after prophecy of Daniel is fulfilled during and shortly after his lifetime, our confidence grows that the remaining prophecies God gave him will be fulfilled in the future.

Southern Arts Society presents “High Country Vision,'' the art of Frederick Craig Franz April 2-April 30. The public is invited to attend the free opening reception Saturday, April 2, from 6-8 p.m. and meet the artist. For Frederick Craig Franz, living in Western North Carolina's high country at the foot of Grandfather Mountain is a landscape artist's dream. The area surrounding his home on the northern border of the Pisgah National Forest is lush with dense forests and cascading streams. Nearby are the Roan Highlands, a 6000 foot p eak that is home to forests of Frazier Furs, expansive mountaintop balds, and native rhododendron and azalea that bloom each year with explosive color. Four true seasons visit the high country each year and provide Craig with unlimited inspiration from which to paint. Craig's journey as an artist began with a career as a jeweler/craftsman, designing and fabricating original creations in gold and silver. He studied drawing and painting in college, but did not choose to pursue those interests until into his 50's. An admiration of impressionism, especially the continued development from the 20th Century American impressionists, helped guide his path. Working in soft pastels and oils his award winning paintings are created both 'Plen Air' and in the studio. He paints in the style of the Blue Ridge Realists, an artistic movement developed in Western North Carolina based on rural realism, inspired by man and his connection to the regional landscape. Co-founders of the movement, Bob Timberlake and Ward Nichols, along with Hal Bryant, Cotton Ketchie, and Jack Greenfield, make up its
DOWN FROM JANE BALD by Craig Franz
FIRST SUMMER by Craig Franz first generation of artists. The second generation of artists are Philip, William Mangum, John Furches, Gary Freeman, Richard Oversmith, Scott Boyle and Frederick Craig Franz. “Capturing on canvas the mood and atmosphere from a landscape setting is a lifelong pursuit and challenge but one that is filled with
such satisfaction it is the reason painters have such excitement and passion for what they do,'' said Franz. Southern Arts Society ( the old train depot) is located at 301 N. Piedmont Avenue. Gift shop and gallery hours are free to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
'Divorce Southern Style' is next play of KMLT Kings Mountain Little Theatre has announced that the next production will be a fast-paced, wildly funny farce, “Divorce Southern Style,'' which will be presented at Joy Theatre May 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. and May 15 at 3 p.m. Nikki Wood is directing the play which features a cast of four women and three men. An established favorite with stock theatres, “Divorce Southern Style,'' centers on the zany schemes of a middle-aged divorcee who decides that the time is ripe to get back together with her ex-husband . Divorced for 15 years and running low on cash, Eleanor Bander decides reconciliation with her ex-husband ( whose second wife died the year before) is her best hope. To lure him within striking range, she tells
him that their daughter is about to be married, hinting that it is a forced situation, when the truth is that the daughter is merely engaged again ( for the fifth time) to her long-standing fiance'. The ex-husband Walter, not only arrives but brings along his current flame, a former classmate who was Eleanor's competition from high school days. As the plot thickens, which it does with growing hilarity, Eleanor's friends and neighbors become involved in the ac-
tion, culminating in a surprise birthday party where the truth, at last, comes out. But Walter is prepared to forgive and forget and falls easily into Eleanor's trap. So easily, in fact, that Eleanor is the one who now has second thoughts – deciding that it's better after all – to stay single and broke than to resume the bickering that drove her away from Walter in the first place. The play is rated PG-13 and was written by Jennifer Jarrett.

Carrie Brinkley Jones going into KM Sports Hall of Fame (First in a series on the 2016 inductees for the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. The event is scheduled for Sat., May 7 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available from members of the Hall of Fame committee and at the door.) Carrie Brinkley said the timing was right for her to play on some good softball teams and excellent volleyball teams during her career at Kings Mountain High School. The former volleyball standout with KMHS and the Gardner-Webb Lady
Bulldogs will be inducted into her hometown’s Sports Hall of Fame at its 28th annual banquet May 7 at Central United Methodist Church. Brinkley is one of only two players to compete on both of the Mountaineers’ state volleyball championship teams in 1998 and 2001. The other is the late Kristin Hardin. Brinkley played back line defense her freshman year when the KM ladies won their first state crown under Coach Dianna Bridges; and she was the setter for probably the bestever KMHS volleyball star, Shonda Cole, on the 2001
championship team coached by Suzanne Grayson. “I don’t know if it was luck or good timing, but I was fortunate to be on some really good teams in Kings Mountain,” she says. “It’s been an interesting experience and I am so very honored. “During the time I was at Kings Mountain High School there were a lot of teams and individuals that won state championships. The teams at that time were incredible. We had a football team that played for the state championship and other teams and individuals that won state championships. It was an
incredible time to be an athlete at Kings Mountain. It’s really fun when you win.” Brinkley grew up in an athletic family. Her father, David, was a star athlete in high school and came to Kings Mountain in 1978 to be an assistant football coach under Dan Brooks. Her sister, Kristie, was a senior on that ’99 KMHS championship volleyball team and later played with Carrie at Gardner-Webb University. Carrie was a two-time All-Southwestern Conference standout for the Lady Mountaineers, and was MVP in the state championSee BRINKLEY, Page 2B

KMHS softball defeats Chase Kings Mountain came back from a 3-0 first inning deficit to defeat Chase 7-5 in a South Mountain Athletic Conference softball game last week at Lancaster Field #3. The Lady Mountaineers loaded the bases in the bottom of the first on a walk, Miranda Ellis’ double and consecutive walks to Payne and Jessie Oehler to trim the margin to 3-1. Chase matched that run in the top of the second to go up 4-1 but once again the Lady Mountaineers battled hard and cut the difference to 4-3 with singles by Ellis and Ashton Withers, a walk to Oehler which loaded the bases, and Cassi Melton’s two-run single to right field. Ellis’ RBI single off the top of the centerfield fence tied the score at 4-all in the fourth, and the Lady MounKings Mountain third baseman Hunter Champion goes high in the air for a hot grounder in last week’s game with Chase.

Five-run fifth inning lifts KM over Chase Kings Mountain rallied from an early 2-1 deficit to defeat Chase 7-2 in a South Mountain Athletic Conference baseball game last week at Lancaster Field. The win improved the Mountaineers’ record to 4-3 in the SMAC and 5-3 overall heading into this week’s Easter Tournament at Shelby. The Mountaineers resume SMAC play
next Tuesday at East Burke. Will Wilson’s first inning home run tied the game at 1-all in the bottom of the first. The Trojans regained the lead with a run in the second, but the Mountaineers put the game away with five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

BRINKLEY: KMHS and Gardner-Webb volleyball star going into HOF From Page 1B ship in 2001. She also played soccer and softball. She started four years at Gardner-Webb and set numerous school records, including career assists (2,574), single season assists (1,109), and career aces (123). She also ranked among GWU’s career leaders in numerous other categories. She remembers that both KMHS championship teams were very talented, and close-knit. Some of the leading players on the ’99 team, she recalled, were her sister Kristie, Jackie and Renee Hall, Lee Putnam, Csherian Coleman and Dee Chapman. Of course, Cole, a twotime North Carolina Volleyball Player of the Year who later starred at the University of South Carolina and the pros, was the leader on the ’01 team. But, she also had plenty of quality teammates in Brinkley, Hardin, Danielle Gill, Ashley Leigh, Lindsey Hamrick and others. “I have so many good memories,” Carrie said, “but the main thing about both of those teams is that we were really close and really big. In 2001, Putnam, the Halls and Kristie were all tall players. Csherian wasn’t that tall but she could really jump. It was a close team. “My senior year, we really wanted the win. Some of us were on the team as freshmen so we got a taste of what it’s like to win the state. We fell just short our sophomore and junior years, so it was like we had a mission. We worked hard and just came together as a team. “Arguably, Shonda Cole is one of the best female athletes to ever come out of Kings Mountain. She was really phenomenal. We had good athletes and good coaching. It was just an incredible combination.” Brinkley credits Bridges at KMHS and Twyla Robinson, who was the head coach at Kings Mountain Middle School, for building the strong volleyball tradition that still exists in KM
today. “When I came through we had such a good program at both the middle school and high school,” she noted. “It was like we had our own little feeder system with Mrs. Robinson at the middle school and Mrs. Bridges at the high school. They made sure we were taught right. They both went the extra mile to build our programs. And, then when Mrs. Grayson came in she was the same way. “It means a lot when coaches take time out of their own schedules and away from their own families to teach us. It means a lot to have coaches that care. They all sacrificed for us to be good.” Although she had a great individual career at Gardner-Webb, Brinkley would love to have seen the Lady Bulldogs have the kind of success the Mountaineers had. “We struggled,” she noted. “In my four years there we had three different head coaches. Having that much turnover is hard. A coach leaves and you have to start all over again. There was a lot of character building. We were always changing, but it was a good experience.“ Carrie played with Kristie at GWU as a freshman and sophomore. Kristie played for UNC-Asheville before transferring. “That was a cool experience to play with her in college,” Carrie said. “I feel very fortunate.” Carrie, now Carrie Jones, works with the family business, Brinkley Financial Services, in Charlotte. She and her husband, former Mountaineer and UNC tennis great Bryan Jones, live in Belmont with their son Colton, 2 ½, and daughter, Brinkley, 8 months. Bryan is also a member of the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. Carrie says she is appreciative of the Hall of Fame for selecting her. “I was shocked really, when I was told I had been chosen,” she said. “It’s a big honor. Kings Mountain has had so many really good athletes, before and after me.”

JVs defeat Chase12-1 on mercy rule Kings Mountain High’s JV baseball team ended its pre-Easter schedule last week at Lancaster Field with a 12-1, five-inning win over the Chase Trojans. The Mountaineers go into the break with a 6-1 conference and 7-1 overall mark. They resume action
Tuesday, April 5 against East Burke. The Mountaineers never surrendered the lead after the third inning when they scored six runs on a two-run double by Josh Ledford, and two singles. The Mountaineers added six runs in the fourth inning
on a groundout by Daniel Bagwell, a two-run single by KC Champion, a wild pitch and a RBI single by Seth Kennedy. Bagwell pitched four innings, and struck out three. He improved to 4-0 on the year. Scotty Richards closed
out the game, going one inning and surrendering no runs. Picking up hits for the Mountaineers were David Bell, Alec Bell, Seth Kennedy, Josh Ledford, Daniel Bagwell, John Harris, KC Champion and Joe Ruffalo.

BASEBALL: Mounties come from behind to beat Chase 7-2 From Page 1B fifth. Thomas Lavin doubled and scored on a double by John Bell to tie the game at 2-all. After Palmer Davis beat out an infield hit, Carson Bailey drove in what
would be the winning run with a sacrifice fly to left. Hunter Cash’s single and an error stretched the lead to 4-2, and a pair of wild pitches brought two more runners home. Kings Mountain tacked
on its final run in the sixth on a fielder’s choice. Absher went six innings to get the win. He gave up just four hits and struck out six. Bailey came on to pitch no-hit ball over the final two innings.
Bell and Davis led the KM plate attack with three hits apiece. Cash added two. Kings Mountain was scheduled to play Stuart Cramer yesterday in the opening round of the Shelby Easter Tournament.
SOFTBALL: Ladies rally to top Chase 7-5 From Page 1B taineers took the lead for good on Catie Payne’s sacrifice fly. Ellis finished with 3-for4, including a double, and had a spectacular defensive game at third base which included a bone-shaking diving catch of a hard line drive to help shutdown a potential Trojan rally, and going to her knees to catch a later liner coming straight toward her face.
The entire KM infield was on the top of its game, turning two double plays in key situations. Melton went 2-for-4 with three runs batted in, Withers was 2-for-3 and Payne was 1-for-4 with a RBI. Payne went the distance on the mound, allowing five runs on 11 hits. Kings Mountain is playing in the Cherryville Easter Tournament this week and will return to SMAC play Tuesday night at East Burke.

Zach Crawford and Parker Fleming led the hitting with 4-for-4 and 3-for3, respectively. KM’s pitchers had problems finding the strike score. They walked 12 batters while North Lincoln issued just one base on balls. The game went back and forth through four innings. KM led 2-1 after one and North Lincoln took a 4-2 lead into the third. Kings Mountain regained the lead at 5-4 in the fourth, but North Lincoln put seven runs on the board in the fifth. KM cut the margin to 11-9 in the sixth before North broke the game open in the bottom of the inning.

Trumping Freedom of Speech Inez, Kentucky in 1964 nobody dreamed of trying to yell down the President. I was there. When Barack Obama came to Indiana I stood in line for three hours to hear the Senator speak to almost 13,000 people. Everyone was courteous. No one yelled out or tried to interrupt Obama. My son and I went to hear Hillary Clinton a few years back. We went down and shook hands with her. No one tried to disrupt her speech. In each scenario it was Johnson's, Obama's or Clinton's party, people were invited to listen and not to make buffoons of themselves. If you have something to say free speech gives you the permission to say it. Rent your own convention space. Announce you have something to say and then stand up and say it. Have a party at your house, subdivision or stand in front of your courthouse or state house and say what you want to say. People should listen without interrupting you if they are interested in what you want to say. Freedom of speech does not mean forgoing all civility. If you are having a hamburger party in your backyard and want to espouse all your reasons for smoking Cuban cigars then so be it. You don't expect people to show up and shout you down. There are many ways to foster your first Amendment right. However, trying to Trump someone else's speech with your speech is out of line especially when that person is paying for the microphone.

Broad River Annual Congressional Taxing Art Competition Society work The general meeting of the Broad River Genealog- details announced information ical Society will be held Sunday, April 10, at 3 p.m. at the Neal Senior Center, 100 T. R. Harris Drive, in Shelby. Everyone welcome.
Auxiliary fundraiser Otis D. Green Unit 155 American Legion Auxiliary will hold a indoor yard sale and bake sale on Saturday, April 29, 7 a.m.-1 p.m. at the American Legion Post. Rent a table for $10 and hold your own yard sale as the members raise money for veterans projects. Call 704-419-1229 to rent a table.
Taxpayers get three-day extension The IRS has announced that the 2016 Tax Season will begin on Jan. 19, 2016 and that the filing deadline will be extended this year by three days, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. Instead of the traditional April 15 cutoff date for sending in your 2015 returns, the deadline this year will be April 18, 2016.
Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R-NC) recently announced submission deadlines for the 2016 Congressional Art Contest. The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982, and, since then, over 650,000 high school students have participated in this nationwide event enabling high school students to showcase their artistic ability. The winning artwork from each congressional district will be prominently displayed in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The “Grand Prize” winner will also receive two round-trip tickets to Washington, D.C., to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony and will be eligible for a scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design. All entries will be judged by a panel, and one winner will be selected. Artwork be submitted electronically to Joe Bost of Congressman McHenry’s Gastonia office. The deadline to submit the art-
work is April 15, 2016. Once all artwork has been received, submissions will be posted on the Congressman’s Facebook page and users can share their thoughts on the work by liking their favorites. “Over the last few years interest in the Congressional Art Competition has boomed in the 10th District,” said Congressman McHenry. “We've seen record entries and impressive works from students throughout the district. I’m hopeful this year will be more of the same.” The Congressional Art Contest is a privately-funded competition with support from Southwest Airlines and the Congressional Institute. For more information, please contact the congressman office at http://mchenry. house.gov/constituentservices/artcontest.htm.
for seniors If you are receiving Social Security and have extra income, you may wind up having to pay taxes on a portion of your benefits, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. The Association of Mature American Citizens, a.k.a. AMAC, says that you can work with your tax preparer to determine the exact amount of taxes you must pay using your Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099/1042S). The Social Security Administration automatically sends that statement out to all benefit recipients each year.

OUTDOOR TRUTHS By
Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ The turkeys are gobbling the woods down. Their call is one of the most recognizable in all of nature. Whether one is a GARY MILLER turkey hunter or not, everyone knows this familiar sound. And even though a tom turkey will gobble the entire year, he is especially vocal during the spring mating season. The turkey is an amazing bird. Just a few years ago there were so few that most hunters turned into fishermen during the spring. Now the turkey is in every state except Alaska. And not only are they surviving, they are thriving. The reintroduction of the turkey has been a great success story for fish and game commissions all over the country. There has been a concerted effort between them, some conservation groups like the NWTF, and the turkey themselves. Yes, the turkey has really done its part in this process as well. They have adapted. It seems no matter what type of terrain the turkey is placed in, it survives. And not only does it survive but it seems to accept its environment and make it its own. It doesn’t care if it is placed in the mountains or the flatlands, in the cold temperature or hot, it is going to not only endure its situation; it is going to enjoy it. That’s how I want to be. I want to be an enjoying Christian and not just an enduring one. And it’s really not up to anyone or anything but me. All of my life my circumstances have changed. I have noticed as I have gotten older, nothing stays the same. It seems just as I get a grasp on some new thing it is replaced by a newer thing. I could grumble, complain, long for the good ole days, refuse to change, and endure the rest of my life as a cantankerous old man. Or I can choose to relish the opportunity to learn, be thankful for the opportunity to live in this new arena, adapt, and enjoy every minute that I am blessed to be here. That is an easy decision for me. I hope it will be for you. But if you choose the former, don’t be surprised if I offer you a kind word of hello and then promptly leave. I’m not going to stay around long. I’d much rather hang with a flock of turkeys that are enjoying life than stay around a grumbling group of people that are not. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org
