She lives alone and is able to take care of her own pretty apartment. That speaks volumes for her independence. What is her secret? “I give credit to God and my family and I've worked hard all my life,'' says Warren, adding that trusting in the Lord and being good to older people has been her lifelong practice.

Church to offer free meals to less fortunate Hulsey loves DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
It wasn’t many months back that husband and wife members of True Gospel Holiness Church, located on the Shelby Hwy., told other members of his church they felt they had a calling to do something helpful. The idea was to provide a free dinner to anyone who wanted it and to expand that service based on attendance as time went by. “They’ve put their heart and soul into this,” said Leann Chapman, the church’s pastor, referring to the project headed up by members Danielle and Michael Miller. “Our church will rally around them and make it happen.” Starting June 6, a team of members will get together to prepare home-cooked meals for a 5 to 7 p.m. dinnertime. The plan now is to serve the free meal – which will consist of spaghetti and other dishes and “not just
soup” every other Saturday. “Can do serve 100 people based on our estimates,” Danielle Miller said. “We’re just willing to serve and we’re passionate about making this happen. Our whole church is rallying.” Chapman emphasizes that the effort is for anyone who is less fortunate in these difficult times. “It’s not limited to just the homeless,” she said last week, adding that the church will provide free transportation to the meal. Chapman’s church has also put together a Relay for Life team to help raise money for cancer research. And organizers at the small church say they also aim to use their booth at Kings Mountain’s May 29 Relay for Life event to raise awareness about their local efforts to reach those who have been hit by hard times and just need a helping hand. “We’re really grateful for the Millers, who have taken

Now she is still employed by the City of Kings Mountain but her office is a block from the library at the Kings Mountain Police Department Criminal Investigative Division. “I love it,'' says Landon, who graduated in 2010 from Gardner-Webb University with a degree in Criminal Justice.

They meet people from all over the country that come to Shelby for the event. “We hose it down, do it all,'' said Landon. Landon is also active in True Gospel Holiness Church and sings with the Praise Team. She is the daughter of Donna and Terry Hulsey of Kings Mountain. Her mother is finance director for the City of Stanley and her Dad works for Eaton Corporation. She has an older brother, Matthew. Has Landon had time to set a wedding date? “Well, she said, probably next year.”

■ MEDITATION “ T h e n [Jesus] took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of Josh Tucker you; for this Pastor is my blood St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:27-28) It seems to me that so much of the focus in the world today is on what’s broken. The economy is broken. The justice system is broken. Our system of legislation is broken. And, for some, the way of the
church is often viewed as broken. As God’s people, we can acknowledge that, because of sin, we are broken. We are broken and we are in need of a Savior; we are in need of God’s redemptive grace, love and forgiveness. Surely, during this moment recorded in Matthew’s gospel, when Jesus gathered with his disciples for the last time around the table at Passover, there were some thoughts among the disciples of all that was broken at that time and place. After all, Jesus had been warning his disciples that the end was near and he would be with them only a little while longer. The chief priests and elders were together conspiring with the high priest, Caiaphas, in a plot to crucify Jesus. And, Judas had already agreed to hand Jesus over to
the officials in a moment of betrayal. Indeed, there was a lot that was broken that could have been discussed around that Passover table. But, instead of focusing on what was broken in the world, Jesus embodies the broken by giving up himself on the cross in love for you and for me. Jesus embodies the broken in this scene by taking bread and wine and giving it for all for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus’ focus is not on what’s broken, but on what’s unending: God’s covenant; God’s promise of salvation to all who have faith. For in Jesus Christ, God has made a new everlasting covenant with his people - a continuous promise that is built upon his love for us. Such love that he would reach out to a broken world by sending
his only Son to save us. That, each and every time we gather around the Lord’s Table, we gather as a covenant people along with God’s people everywhere and all the saints to remember and focus on how the broken might be made whole again, in Christ. And so, in and through this heavenly meal, and in our Christian walk may we forever experience God’s love, grace and forgiveness through the promise of the covenant. May our focus as Christians be not on the broken in the world but on the one thing that that is and always will be whole: God’s love. May we have faith in the knowledge that in his covenant God chooses us, who were once broken, and makes us new to be his people sharing the promise of the covenant with everyone.

Social Security Offers Lump Sum Payouts to Retirees Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that Social Security offers a lump-sum payment to retirees who need some extra cash. I have not yet started drawing my benefits and would like to investigate this option. What can you tell me? Almost Retired Dear Almost, There are actually two different kinds of Social Security claiming strategies that can provide retirees a big lumpsum benefit, but you need to be past full retirement age to be eligible, and there are financial drawbacks you need to be aware of too. First, let’s review the basics. Remember that while workers can begin drawing their Social Security retirement benefits anytime between ages 62 and 70, full retirement age is currently 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954, but it rises in two-month increments to 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can find your full retirement age at ssa.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm. At full retirement age, you are entitled to 100 percent of your benefits. If you claim earlier you’ll receive less, while
if you delay you’ll get more – roughly 8 percent more for each year until age 70.
strategy. Again, this option is only available to people on (or after) full retirement age.
future survivor benefit to your spouse or other eligible family members after you die.
Lump Sum Options If you are past full retirement age, and have not yet filed for your benefits, the Social Security Administration offers a retroactive lump-sum payment that’s worth six months of benefits.
Here’s how this strategy works. Let’s say you’re 66, and you decide to delay your benefits. You could file for your benefit and then immediately suspend it. This gives you the ability to collect a lump sum going back to the date you filed. So if you need money at age 69 for example, and your full retirement age benefit was $2,000, you could get a three-year lump sum of $72,000.
You also need to consider Uncle Sam. Depending on your income, Social Security benefits may be taxable, and a lump-sum payment could boost the amount of benefits that are taxed. To help you calculate this, see IRS Publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits” at irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf, or call 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a copy.
Here’s how it works. Let’s say you were planning to delay taking your Social Security benefits past age 66, but you changed your mind at 66 and six months. You could then claim a lump-sum payment equal to those six months of benefits. So, for instance, if your full retirement age benefit were $2,000, you would be entitled to a $12,000 lump sum payment. If you decided at age 66 and four months that you wanted to file retroactively, you’d get only four months’ worth of benefits in your lump sum, because SSA rules prohibit you from claiming benefits that pre-date your full retirement age. Another option that provides even more cash is the “file and suspend”
Drawbacks The big downside to these strategies is that once you accept a lump-sum payment, you’ll lose all the delayed retirement credits you’ve accrued, and your future monthly retirement benefit will be reduced to reflect the amount you already received. Here’s an example of how this works. Let’s say that you are entitled to a $2,480 monthly benefit at age 69. By taking a three-year lump sum payment, your future benefits will shrink back to $2,000 per month, which is what you would have received at your full retirement age. This also affects your
One other caveat: If you’re married and you “file and suspend” your Social Security benefit, you cannot file a “restricted application” too, which gives you the ability to collect spousal benefits while delaying your own retirement benefit past full retirement age.

WEST SINGER: looks to Nashville gig From Page 1A a raffle for a shot to win a night of free fishing. Nashville Spotlight, an organization that seeks out young talent, identified the Kings Mountain student as a unique talent. It booked her to sing at the Wild Wing Café in a Nashville suburb, in conjuction with the Country Music Awards Music Festival. Events are planned downtown and throughout Nashville and its suburbs celebrating classic and contemporary country. For a week, thousands of music lovers enjoy live concerts, autograph signings and private parties. Young Jaiden, who loves country, pop and the blues, works with her father David in crafting original music, according to her mother Tamara. Jaiden’s been working
on polishing her repertoire. She’s already got four songs lined up including Reba McEntire’s “Fancy” and Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me,” according to her mother. The grand-daughter of Carla and Cody Presley and Fran and Ken Smith, Jaiden was diagnosed at six months of age with albunism, a disease that effects pigmentation of the eyes and overall development. Since then she’s been surprising doctors by doing things they didn’t expect her to ever achieve. “She really wants to be an inspiration,” her mother said. “We were told that she would never be able to see normal, she would never be able to attend a public school, and that she would always be behind and would not be able to grown up and be normal because
of the condition, but she is doing everything that doctors said she wouldn’t be able to do. God blessed her with a beautiful gift to sing, and she has been showing us her musical capability since she was very young.” In addition to travelling to Nashville in June, Jaiden will also be performing at Kings Mountain’s Relay for Life at the KMHS on May 29 and at Shelby’s Liver Mush Festival in October.

Her apartment is decorated with photographs of her family and she likes to show visitors her scrapbooks that contain memories of her special life, including pictures of her 50th wedding anniversary and the entire family in attendance. “I read the Bible every day,'' says Warren. She likes to watch ball games and boxing on television. Mary will celebrate her 101st birthday in July. Her family is looking forward to hosting the event, probably at the church because when Mary has a birthday the crowd spills out from her apartment into the hall and pretty soon the entire population of the apartment complex joins in.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR: dies suddenly From Page 1A Dr. Dixon’s wife several times today and have expressed our concern for their family. I assured her that our district was praying for her, Dr. Dixon’s two children, and their entire family.” Dixon was a relatively new addition to CCS, having begun in his role as curriculum and instruction chief only last August. He, his wife, La'Toya Thomas-Dixon, and two children, Mitchell and Xavier, came to the area from Colleton County, S.C., where he had recently served as an assistant superintendent for more than five years. Prior to his move, he was the principal of Weldon STEM High for a year in North Carolina and principal
of James Simons Elementary School for three years in South Carolina. Before entering administration, Dixon taught middle and high school Social Studies. During his tenure as Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction in Cleveland County, he implemented programs with great success, school board member Donnie Thurman remembered of Dixon. He started the “Principal for a Day” program to get members of the community involved in the school system. Before beginning his 21 years in education, Dixon was a graduate from South Carolina State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in History Education. He earned a master’s degree in
Sports Management from the United States Sports Academy, a specialist degree from Cambridge College in School Leadership and a doctoral degree from Walden University. Dixon was also a successful basketball coach, leading his team to the South Carolina state championship and twice earned the Coach of the Year Award. Fisher added in his email to CCS faculty and staff, “Dr. Dixon had a passion for young people and worked to make sure students had every opportunity to be successful. Dr. Dixon stressed the importance of high school graduation and the need for higher education. A strong mentor himself, Dr. Dixon believed that students needed positive role models in their lives.”
CRISIS VOLUNTEER: a tireless servant From Page 1A “I’ve been active all my life and I want to still be active,” he said at his desk at the outreach ministry last week. “That’s why I volunteer. It’s meaningful for me to do this, and I’ll keep doing it as long as God gives me the strength.” That strength is what got Maddox interested in the ministry at an early age while growing up in Georgia. To pursue that goal, he attended Morris Brown College in Atlanta, where he studied theology. Following that he earned a B.S. in Social Science from Allen University in Columbia, S.C. It wasn’t long after finishing college that he became an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Maddox was making his name as a young African American pastor at a precipitous time in the South. It was the 1960s, the bloom of the Civil Rights era. Amid building two churches in Georgia and South Carolina and raising a family, he was beginning to see that the tide was changing for a region that was slow to reform itself following emancipation. “The younger generation just doesn’t know, but I lived through it as a boy and a young man, referring to Jim Crow laws in the South that mandated separate water fountains, restrooms and schools for blacks and whites.” While he working a second job as a juvenile court probation officer, he got turned onto the law. That interest led him to enroll in law school in Augusta, Ga., in the mid-1960s. He eventually had to take time off to focus on raising his growing family while continuing to work as
a pastor. But during that busy time, he found the energy to help orchestrate the building of one of the nation’s first federally funded housing projects, located in Athens. He also helped negotiate the freedom of Ralph Abernathy, a civil rights leader and head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who had been jailed following civil rights protests. Maddox, his wife Flora and several of their five children eventually settled in Kings Mountain, where he serves as an associate pastor at A.M.E. Zion on Cansler Street. He began volunteering about a year ago at Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry. In the early days, he pitched in the same way other volunteers did: He helped stock the food pantry and sort clothes that could be given away to those in need. But over time, he began to use his experience and insight as a Korean War-era veteran to help other veterans who came to the ministry. “He treats this as a serious job,” said Lisa Harrison, who is the executive director of the KM Crisis Ministry, which is located at the Kings Mountain YMCA. “He really takes ownership of his job here. He’s always picking up more duties here and finding ways to help. He writes thank you cards and gives veterans access to VA information and takes food to shut-ins.” Maddox, who is certified as a Clinical Pastoral Counselor, always prays with clients of the KM Crisis Ministry. “We will always have the poor,” Maddox said. “(The Crisis Ministry) is set up to help them and it does a good job of it. Our aim is to get people out of temporary
jams, to get them back on their feet.” The non-profit Ministry has a simple model. It collects free clothes and free or discounted foodstuffs from the community, mostly through churches and other non-profits who have arrangements with grocery chains. Then it distributes the food and clothing to those in the community on a mostly one-time basis to help make ends meet or when a family has been hit by unforeseen difficulties like job loss or high medical or prescription bills. It also helps eligible families with utility bills when needed. The Ministry has an operating budget of about $160,000 a year, which includes the salary of three part-time staffers, according to Harrison. It’s sponsored by the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association, and is supported by the City of Kings Mountain and the Kings Mountain YMCA. The Minstry is open from 10 to 1:30 weekdays to meet with clients. It’s closed Tuesdays. Maddox, who had his law education interrupted in the 1960s by more pressing matters, stuck to his original plan. After an almost tenyear hiatus, he re-enrolled at another law school – the City University of Los Angeles – where he graduated with a law degree and eventually passed the bar. And it was just in the last few years that he earned a Ph.D. in criminal justice by taking online clases at California Coast University, which is based in Santa Ana, Calif. “I feel like it’s important to keep learning and keep moving, and always to keep helping in whatever way I can.”

an 12-0 conference record into this week. R-S Central (10-2) and East Rutherford (9-2) are the only other teams with a mathematical shot at first place. The Lady Mountaineers got off to a slow start in their home games last week, trailing both East and Crest in the first inning. East used two hits, a walk, hit batsman and a Mountaineer error to start off Wednesday’s game with a two-run first inning. Last year’s State 2A MVP, Savannah Davis, pitched well early but her own wildness, errors and timely KM base running and hitting eventually led to her downfall. KM picked up its first run in the second inning when Kassidy Hamrick reached on an error and scored on Gretchen Boyles’ double to left. Davis hit opposing pitcher Emily Hester to lead off what would be a two-run KM third that put the host team on top for good. An East error, Mikeala Bell’s squeeze bunt and a wild pitch produced the runs. Leah Herndon’s RBI triple and Hester’s RBI single increased the lead to 5-2 in the fourth. East scored its final run in the fifth and Hester broke the game open in the sixth with

Crest struck for two in the first Friday night and held that lead until the KM ladies scored six runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth to put it away. Bell paced the Mountaineer attack with two hits and two RBIs. Kassidy Hamrick went 2-for-4 with one RBI, Ashton Withers 1-for-3 with two RBI and Miranda Ellis 1-for-4 with two RBI. Hester went the distance on the mound, scattering nine hits and fanning four. Bell pitched all five innings Tuesday night at
Draughn, giving up five hits while issuing eight walks and fanning three. Cassi Melton led the hitting with 3-for-3 and four runs batted in. Boyles was 2-for-3 with a RBI, and Hester and Herndon each had a two-run home run. Hester went the distance against East Burke, allowing four hits and two walks while fanning one. She also led the hitting with 3-for-3 with four RBI, including a three-run home run. Herndon went 2-for-3 and Bell was 2-for-4 with four RBI. The Lady Mountaineers go to R-S Central tonight and host Shelby Friday for Senior Night.
Kings Mountain High’s golf team won the South Mountain Athletic Conference championship Monday at Quaker Meadows Golf Course in Morganton. The Mountaineers, who finished the regular season 20-0, trailed by three strokes after the first round last week at Deer Brook in Shelby, but Coach Kevin Moss’s men shot lights out Monday with a 305 which gave them a tworound total of 649 and a nineshot victory over second place Crest (658). Shelby finished third at 669, followed by Chase 714, Draughn 722, East Burke 742, Burns 788, R-S Central 802 and East Rutherford 807. Four Mountaineers finished in the top ten individually to earn All-Conference honors. They were Alex Goff (155), Miles Robinson (163), Carson Bailey (163) and Dawson Adams (167). Tyler Withers of the Mountaineers shot 174. Shelby grabbed the first round lead with a 341 while Crest shot 342. KM’s 344 was its worst 18-hole score of the season. The Mountaineers had beaten all of its rivals handily during the regular season. Goff led the Mountaineers in round one with an 81, followed by Robinson 87, Bailey 88, Withers 88 and Adams 89. Bailey led the Mountaineers in round two with a 75, followed by Goff 76, Robinson 76, Adams 78 and Withers 88. Monday’s 305 in Morganton was more along the lines of a typical KM match. Crest shot 316, Shelby 328, Chase 336, Draughn 344, East Burke 363, RS 374, Burns 386 and East Rutherford 394. Kings Mountain qualified as a team for the Western Regional Tournament which will be played Tuesday, May 5 at Mimosa Golf Club in Morganton. This is Kings Mountain’s finest season in golf since the early 1990s when the Mountaineers won five straight conference championships and the 1993 state championship.

Baseball drops two 4-3 games

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers couldn’t hold on to leads and dropped two 4-3 contests in SMAC play last week. Kings Mountain scored three runs in the fifth to break a scoreless tie only to see Draughn come back with four runs in the sixth to take a 4-3 win last Tuesday night in Valdese. On Friday night at Lancaster Field, the Mountaineers scored two runs in the third to take a 3-1 lead but saw Crest come back to tie the game in the fourth and then win it in the fifth on a solo home run by Ben Canipe. Madisyn Bolin started at Draughn and went 4 1/3 innings for the Mountaineers. He didn’t give up a run and
allowed only three hits. Bryson Bailey took the loss, going two-thirds of an inning and giving up four runs on two hits and two walks. Will Wilson pitched the final inning. Brandon Bell collected two of KM’s five hits, including a double. Crest catcher Brad Keller led off Friday’s game at KM’s Lancaster Field with a towering home run over the left-center field fence. KM starter Matt Absher shook it off and pitched well until the fourth. In the meantime, the Mountaineer offense rebounded to tie the game at 1-all in the bottom of the first when Canipe hit Logan Stevens with the bases loaded. Brandon Bell and
Will Wilson singled and John Bell reached on an error to load the sacks. Kings Mountain went up 3-1 in the third. Wilson singled and John Bell doubled to put runners on second and third, and Absher delivered a single to drive in Wilson. Stevens’ sacrifice fly scored Bell. The lead was short-lived, though, as Crest plated two runs in the top of the fourth to tie the score. Cody Kale’s triple to right-center got things going. Elijah Spurling’s single plated Kale. After a fly out was followed by a dropped fly ball in the outfield, Luke Proctor singled to right to tie the score. Following a double play in the top of the fifth, Canipe parked an Absher fast
ball over the left field fence to account for the final margin. Crest threatened again in the sixth, loading the bases with just one out. Robbie Lysek came on to pitch and struck out Jesse Hollifield and got Keller to ground into a force out at second. Matt Bridges relieved Canipe on the mound in the bottom of the sixth and earned a save. The Mountaineers finished with six hits. Wilson led the way with two singles. John Bell had a double and Brandon Bell, Absher and Colby Crisp each had a single. Crest collected eight hits, led by Spurling with two

HOLLIFIELD: To be inducted to KMHS Sports Hall of Fame From Page 1B string and lettered. He started both ways at tackle his junior year and helped lead the Catamounts to a 7-3 record, which was their best during his time there. “We lost our first two games to Appalachian and Guilford,” Hollifield recalled. “Coach Robinson told us ‘we have sunk as low as you possibly can.’ We didn’t lose again until the last game when we lost to Tampa University.” Hollifield had another year of eligibility, but graduated and joined the work force. One of Hollifield’s teammates at WCU was his high school teammate, Jerry Adams. Adams, who will induct Hollifield into the Hall of Fame, also played on that seventh and eighth grade midget team at Central that was coached by Bud Medlin, and he and Hollifield have been great friends ever since. “That was my first encounter with football,” Hollifield noted. “I played in the ninth through 12th grades at the high school. Back then freshmen had the choice to go out for the JV or varsity and I chose to play varsity.” Hollifield, along with Adams and many of their teammates, were All-Conference in 1960 and played in the Lions Bowl all-star game. Hollifield also played basketball, and was a member of the inaugural track team at KMHS. “I was a freshman when Coach Gamble started the track team,” he recalled. “Coach Gamble required that you play either baseball or track in the spring. I was a half-miler and got pretty good at it. I felt like that made it better for me in football because I could run for a long time.” The original track team ran at the City Recreation
Department, where the YMCA is now located. Hollifield remembered a story that Bill Bates once told about the Mountaineers’ first-ever home track meet with York, SC. Coach Bates noted that a lot of the runners were running a low nine-second hundred yard dash before he and Gamble realized they had laid the track off 90 yards instead of 100. “Don Gladden was our sprinter and he was fast, but even he couldn’t run a low nine-second hundred,” Hollfield said. “The fastest guy I ever saw was Ken Morgan at Western. He later coached at R-S Central. He was very fast. He was like 9.5 fast.” Hollifield recalled graduating from WCU on Sunday, May 28. On Monday morning, he joined the Kings Mountain National Guard. He reported for duty in August, went to OCS and served for over 20 years reaching the rank of Major. He was Company Commander of the KM unit in the mid-seventies. His profession was in management with United Parcel Service. He retired in 1995 with over 28 years of service. It was during his oldest son Aubrey’s athletic days at KMHS that Dale began a run of over 30 years of close association with all KM sports programs. “I joined the Booster Club in 1984 when Aubrey began playing varsity football,” Hollifield recalled. “The club had to have a representative for the basketball team. That was Aubrey’s first year of basketball and Larry Sipe got me involved.” That was the only year that Dale was not an officer in the club. “Mearl Valentine was the president and talked me into becoming president the next year,” Hollifield
noted. “I kept it until Ron Massey came in as football coach in 1995. That’s when I became treasurer and I’ve been treasurer ever since.” Coach Massey also talked Hollifield into working in the press box on Thursday and Friday nights and he’s been there ever since, too. “I started that when the NCHSAA put in a 25-second play clock,” Hollifield recalled. “Coach Massey asked me to run it and I did that until the state starting requiring a referee to do it. I took over the scoreboard when Delbert Dixon retired and I have really enjoyed doing that.” Hollifield has also served on the Hall of Fame Committee for several years, including the last seven as President, and he is a member of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Board of Directors. He is proud of what all three organizations have contributed to Kings Mountain Sports. “The Hall of Fame is responsible for naming the high school gym for Coach Don Parker and the Gamble Stadium field house for Coach Bill Bates, just to name a few; and the Booster Club contributed $30,000 for new lights at the stadium and quite a bit toward the purchase of the new scoreboard,” he said. Both organizations also sponsor scholarships for deserving KMHS seniors which are presented each year at the Hall of Fame ceremony. “The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club, led by David Brinkley, has raised a million dollars for a new field house which is second to none,” he added. “All of those improvements are something we can really feel good about.” All the contributions Hollifield has made to the Kings Mountain commu-
nity and WCU sports pale in comparison to the contributions he makes to his family. “It was awesome watching my kids play sports,” he said. “I wish I could have been more involved. After I retired I was at most of their football and basketball games and track meets. Ryan and Andy were really good milers. Ryan broke the school record and then Andy came along and broke Ryan’s record. “Aubrey played football at Wake Forest and both Ryan and Andy played at Appalachain State. I only missed one game when Aubrey was at Wake and that was when they played at Clemson. Ryan talked me into coming to one of his games.” Ryan played quarterback, end and wide receiver at ASU and Andy was a defensive back. Ryan also played basketball his senior year. “He said if he’d realized how easy it was he would have played basketball all four years,” Dale remembered. “He was able to travel all over the country with the basketball team.” Now, Dale is at a game about every day watching his grandchildren play at different levels. His grandson, Dax, was the leading tackler on Shelby’s 2014 state championship team as a freshman and has already received full scholarship offers from UNC, NC State, Wake and Clemson. “We’re real proud of him,” Dale said. “The main thing I tell him is don’t get a big head and don’t get hurt.” No doubt, all of those Hollifield children and grandchildren will be in the audience cheering on their dad and granddad when he accepts his Hall of Fame plaque, just as he has supported them at all of their games.

Calhoun had four assists, Dellinger two and Dettloff one. Smart was in goal. Kings Mountain returns to action Thursday at 5:30 with their Senior Night contest against Chase.

Save our pension meeting in Belmont, May 30 Local citizens are encouraged to attend an informational meeting on Congress-approved pension cuts in Belmont Saturday, May 30, at 2 pm. at the Moose Lodge on
Robert Russell Road, exit 26 off I-85 and follow the signs. Wayne Turner of Kings Mountain says that if you can’t attend the Belmont meeting that a meeting is set
for Greensboro on Sunday, May 31, at 2 p.m. at the Clarion Hotel, 415 S. Swing Road, Greensboro Airport. Exit 213 off I-40 Guilford College Road/Swing Road.
“We are trying to protect our pensions and hope we can get enough signatures on a petition,'' said Turner. He added, “Congress approved pension cut legislation in a sneak at-
tack amendment to the budget bill. The legislation guts federal pension protections and paves the way for pension cuts in the Central States Pension Funds and very possibly some
other Teamster funds. Come to the Defend Our Pensions meeting to get the latest updates and learn what we can do to protect our retirement security.”

EAFK talent show Patti McMurry honored was big success as Social Worker of Year Three East Elementary students won top prizes at the Early Act First Knight Club of East School's talent show fundraiser April 23. Austin Putnam won first place in dancing and Nyirah Petty and Brooke Hamrick were second and third place winners in the singing category. Suzanne Amos was announcer and Hazel Thrift Morrow operated the concession stand. EAFK is chartered by
the Kings Mountain Rotary Club. The EAFK club's service projects are Hospice, Relay for Life, and International polio initiatives. Amos is Rotary Club SAFK chair, Hazel Thrift Morrow is Rotary EAFK coordinator. Kim Reel, East School counselor, also served on the planning committee for the event. “It was a big success and East students have talent,'' said Amos.
Patti Ellis McMurry, Vice-president of Access and a Hospice employee for 25 years, has received the award as Cleveland County Social Worker of the Year. McMurry was honored at the annual Social and Caseworker's luncheon held at Carolinas Healthcare System Cleveland. In 1990 McMurry was hired as the only social worker at Hospice Cleveland County in 1990. With
the help of her vision and passion, Hospice Cleveland County has expanded and now employs eight social workers, three grief counselors, three chaplains, and several other key staff members under her leadership. McMurry also facilitates educational forums in the community to promote the importance of social work services in the continuum of care.
