'Divorce, Southern Style' opens at Joy on Friday The wildly, funny farce, “Divorce Southern Style,'' opens Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Joy Theatre and continues on Saturday night at 7:30 p .m. and Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. Next weekend shows are on Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. Kings Mountain Little Theatre and corporate sponsor Edward Jones: Jack and Pam Buchanan, are sponsors of the play by Jennifer Jarrett. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens. The play is rated PG-13. Directed by Teresa
Williams, who has also appeared on stage in numerous KMLT performances, is directing the fast-paced favorite of stock theaters. The play 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 Bender ( Mary Grace Keller) decides reconciliation with her ex-husband ( Greg Dixon) is her best hope. Supporting roles are played by Maddie Spurling, the daughter who is engaged again for the fifth time;
her long-standing fiance' (Jonathan Price) and the ex-husband current flame ( Suzi Shelter and Nikki Wood), a former classmate who was Eleanor's competition from high school. As the plot thickens which it does with growing hilarity, Eleanor's friends and neighbors ( Leslie Brown and Mark Griffin,) become involved in the action. Kings Mountain Little Theatre, a tax-exempt 501 (c) non-profit, is a funded affiliate of the Cleveland County Arts Council and is supported in part by a Grassroots Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council.
Project Maroon, a code name for a new industry looking at relocating to an existing building in the Kings Eddie MounHolbrook tain area, c o u l d mean 45 new jobs to the Kings Mountain area that could bring $55,000 in yearly salaries and an investment of $3.8 million. Eddie Holbrook, com-
missioner liaison to the county's Economic Development committee, said the formal announcement could come in early June. The county board of commissioners last Tuesday night approved an economic development incentive grant for Project Maroon for $14,480, which is a 5% match to a $297,600 NC Rural Division Infrastructure Grant for a total grant amount of $312,400. Holbrook said the City of Kings Mountain would be facilitating and administering the grant on behalf of the client. The grant would fund the construction of sewer and water infrastruc-
ture that is necessary for the proposed building to be considered viable for the operation. “This is a stable company and we feel good about it,'' said Holbrook, who said the proposed client would be taking an old building out of inventory and into everyday use with upgrades and renovation and adding revenue to the tax stream.” Kristin Reese, Executive Director of the Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership, asked the county commission last week to approve the incentive payment, saying that the company has a solid See 45 NEW JOBS, Page 7A

Children’s Homes of Cleveland County Celebrates 25 Years
Two Shelby men face federal drug charges
Children’s Homes of Cleveland County, Inc. celebrated their 25th anniversary April 22 with a garden party called “Growing Children, Changing Lives.” Guests at the event, held at the City Pavilion in Shelby, included former residents, donors, volunteers, past and present board members, and current and retired employees. Partner organizations, such as the United Way, the Department of Social Services, and the Windjammers Motorcycle Club, were also represented. In 1991, the Children’s Homes of Cleveland County was born out of the merger of two homes for children, the Shelter Home and the James Home. In the past 25 years, the organization has cared for countless children and their families. CHCC operates two group homes and also provides supervised visitation, counseling, co-parenting classes, and adoption services. CHCC is the only agency of its kind based in Cleveland County that is nationally accredited. The Honorable Larry Wilson works closely with CHCC in his role as the chief district court judge for the 27B Judicial Dis-
Two Cleveland County men – Kevin McArthur Bailey, 37, and Lonnie McDowell, 65, both of Shelby, are among eight facing multiple federal drug charges for their involvement in a drug conspiracy operating in Rutherfordton and Cleveland Counties. The other defendants are from Forest City and Rutherfordton. The eight defendants named in the 22-count indictment are each charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine and related drug charges. According to US Attorney
Chief District Court Judge Larry Wilson speaks at the Garden Party celebrating the Children’s Homes of Cleveland County’s 25th Anniversary with Kathy Wilson, President of the CHCC Board of Directors (left) and Executive Director Margie Christopher (right). trict. According to Wilson, “Working with abused and neglected children is extremely difficult work. I am always confident that those children that suffer are in good hands at CHCC. They work to provide the necessary services and do so with a respectful and caring heart.” Margie Christopher has been the executive director of CHCC for the entire 25 years and worked with the agency before the merger. She has seen the significant growth and expansion of the organization. “Our agency has been blessed
with excellent employees and an extremely visionary Board of Directors over the years. The Board has encouraged partnerships and the expansion of services. We are still true to our original mission and we continue to operate two group homes, but we also provide many other services that the general community does not see.” CHCC has big plans for the future. Those plans include expanded therapeutic services, improved visitation services, and continued partnerships with community organizations.

■ MEDITATION
FREE The Psalmist prophesied of Christ (68:18), “You have ascended on high, you led captivity captive, you have received gifts for men.” Paul writes quoting the Psalmist (Eph.4:8), “When he ascended on Bishop Roger high, he led Woodard Pastor captivity capKings Mountain tive, and gave Family Worship gifts unto men.” Those gifts are many, but certainly among the most important is the
gift of our freedom in Christ. Jesus Christ promised, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed (Jn. 8:36, emphasize mine). But what does it mean to be free indeed? Certainly not free from trouble, hurts, pain, pressure or sorrow. Paul makes it clear he had plenty of trouble (II Cor. 1:810). In fact, all of the Bible heroes had plenty of pain, hurts, trouble and sorrow. So, what does it mean to be free indeed? It means free from chains of bondage, free from sin’s hold, free from condemnation ( Rom. 6:22/8:1). It means we are “free from the law of sin and death” (Rom. 8:2), and we are now “adopted children of God” (Rom. 8:14-16). No, it does not mean absence
of trouble. “Tho I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me.. and your right hand shall save me.” It means walking free in the middle of our hottest trial ( Dan. 3:25). Walking free and having no hurt because the fourth man is walking in the flames of trial with us. It means walking on troubled water ( Matt.14:29), just as long as we keep our eyes on Him. It means we are free to serve Him, to walk the way of holiness ( Isa.35:8). Of course, if we are not interested in walking holy, our troubles will be compounded and we will be earth bound and sighted. Ultimately it means we are free to live with Christ forever (Jn.13:3). It’s all in your perspective. We
are not of the world (Jn.15:19), so the world hates and persecutes us. But Christ said “These things have I spoken unto you that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (Jn. 16:33). What precious freedom purchased at such great price ( I Cor. 6:20). Our challenge today is to walk in that freedom and “glorify God in our body, and our spirit, which are God’s. We are to be “overcomers” (Rev. 12:11); “more than conquerors” (Rom.8:37). And we can be, because, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (Jn. 8:32). And, “If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (Jn. 8:36).

Area women win awards for paintings, photography Seventy works of art were entered in the “I Am Woman” competition sponsored by the Southern Arts Society and the second annual photography contest excited entrants whose topic was Gateway Trail. Lucy Warlick of Clover, SC took first place for her painting,”The Work” I which judge Mary Tuma commented “This painting is exceptional in that the energy in the face of the woman portrayed seemed to jump off the canvass.'' Tuma, Head of the Fibers program in the Department of Art & History at UNC in Charlotte, gave the second place award to Valerie Kramer of Gastonia and commented, “Ruth'' is a wonderful work that explodes off the canvas with color and calls the viewer in.” Tuma gave the third prize for her textile entry to Adrienne Joslin of Belmont and “Wizened Eyes.” Tuma commented, “Struck me as a tender and delicate illustration of the inner power of woman of the world.” Tuma said three merit presentations were “strong, thoughtful and compelling” and honored Lynn Schilling, Liz McKay and Ellen Devenny. Trail photography awards went to Edy Bergstrom for “Babbling Silence,'' in which judge Joe Ciarland of Ciarland Photography in Charlotte commented, “great low angle perspective and beautiful use of slow shutter speed and slow motion.” Ellen Devenny won sec-
ond place for “Star Magnolia” in which the judge commented, “the soft light, use of focus and short depth of field all worked together to make this a beautiful image.” Third place award went to Amy Arnoldt for “O.9,'' which the judge said showed bold use of color and composition. Honorable mentions for photographs taken on the Gateway Trail were given to Edy Bergstrom for “Still Standing”; Alex Pietersen for “Reflective” and Shirley Brutko for “Autumn on the Trail.” A public reception was held Saturday at Southern Arts Society and awards were presented. “I Am Woman” and “Trail” exhibits remain open to the public in the gallery of the Southern Arts Society at the Depot, 301 N.

Eliminate Big Money From Politics By Glenn Mollette An unknown politician recently ran for U.S. Congress and won. He had previously served as a county Judge in a remote part of the Congressional district. Most everyone overlooked him until midway through Glenn Mollette the election. The televi- Guest Editorial sion was burning up with TV advertisements promoting him. A young man in Texas who had inherited a bunch of money had created his own Super Pac and was spending over $500,000 on helping the candidate get elected. He was elected and is in Congress today. Big money enabled big advertising. Most of us who watched 60 Minutes last Sunday night were appalled by the story about our telemarketing Congress. Our congressional representatives have literally become telemarketers sitting in cubicles in a designated telemarketing building calling donors and asking for money. According to the 60 Minutes report our elected officials are expected to spend “hours� every day calling from a list and reciting a script to solicit contributions of at least $18,000 a day according to Representative David Jolly of Florida. I wouldn’t have believed this except 60 Minutes interviewed him and other elected congressional representatives who affirmed this reality and admit to this part of the job. Most of us realize that a career politician has to always fundraise and politic for the next election. However, our congressional officials going to a designated building and dialing for dollars every day is taking away from what we elected them to do- represent us. We have lots of problems in America. Our military and veterans are neglected. Our highways are neglected. Our bridges are neglected. Obamacare is a disaster. Our jobs are going to
China and Mexico. Poverty is on the increase. Millions are hoping for a $15 an hour burger-flipping job. Thirty years ago people got jobs that fed their families, provided health care and a real retirement. Today, Americans can’t afford to retire. We have 75-year-old people working minimum wage jobs just to buy their groceries or pay their rent. College students are graduating with massive debts that take years to repay. What are our representatives doing in Congress to help us? Nothing. They are sitting in cubicles for hours each day trying to raise money for their party so they can keep their jobs two or six more years. Super pacs are a bad idea. A corporation or anyone can donate massive amounts of money to a super pac. This unlimited stream of money is used in repeated television advertising to beat us down or brainwash us to the special interest’s way of thinking. Bernie Sanders will not be our next President. However, a candidate running a competitive campaign like he has run with the average contribution being $27 is to be applauded. How do you know for whom to vote in the upcoming primaries and general election? Take note of who the super pacs are promoting and not promoting. Our best representation in Washington may be the one they are not promoting. If he or she can be elected, maybe they will not have to spend all their time down the street at the telemarketing center. Maybe they will actually have time to represent us. Of course without the big money they probably can’t get elected and this takes us back to our problem of big money in politics.

FICHTER: new manager of KM Farmer’s Market From Page 1A
From Page 1A history in the industry and continues to innovate and grow their business to support new and existing customers. The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners has adopted the Cleveland County Industrial Incentive Grant Program to help existing industry to expand in Cleveland County through payment of a stipulated grant amount from the county's general fund. “This will be great for this area, we need jobs,'' said commission chairman Jason Falls
took his family all over the country when his work took him there and to such faraway places like Hong Kong. “I've lived in a number of states but my husband and I enjoy raising our son, Hans, a first grader, in this area,'' said Fichter. The establishment of a Cleveland County Food Council, of which she is founding member, piqued her interest in the Foothills Farmers Market. Her expertise as a good cook adds to her knowledge of selecting healthy food like homegrown products. “I like to connect with people as they discover how food impacts their daily lives through all phases
of the food system,'' says Nancy. She believes food is grounded in culture and wants the Farmers Market to be an experience that every citizen can embrace and enjoy through the exchange of local foods. Ellis Noell, Executive Director of the Kings Mountain Tourism Development Authority, was accompanying Fichter to various restaurants and places of interest in the area this week. He says the upcoming Market, which opens at Patriots Park on Thursday, June 2, will be bigger and better than ever and that plans are shaping up by the city events department to offer entertainment for the whole family as Mom and Pop shop at the Market.

The procession of water at the Lao New Year celebration at the Wat Lao Houeikeo Indharam in Kings Mountain symbolizes cleansing for a “Happy New Year.� Photos by ELLIS NOELL
Lao New Year celebration Submitted by Ellis Noell The Lao New Year was recently celebrated at the Wat Lao Houeikeo Indharam of Kings Mountain. The only Buddhist temple, or Wat, in Kings Mountain was host to over 400 families and hundreds of visitors for the three day event, the most widely celebrated festival in Laos, on April 14th-16th, the Year of the Horse. This is the year 2559 of the calendar in Laos and the New Year is celebrated by Laotians across the United States, Canada, France, New Zealand and Australia. Worldwide, it’s a time of celebrations and endless fun for all ages. Through the years it has become celebration of Lao identity, the strengthening of family bonds and an opportunity to reflect on the year ahead. Traditionally, water is significant in the celebration for cleansing and washing away bad things. Cleaning day consists of cleaning one’s home, community (temple, churches, family altar), settling old debts and obligations, all of which are symbolic forms of purification in preparation for the New Year. Traditionally, you would wish someone “Happy New Year� (“Sok Dii
Pimai�) before pouring water over their head. symbolizing the washing away of evils and immoralities committed in the past year, cleansing of old and bad actions and inviting the new and prosperity for the New Year. At this years’ celebration in Kings Mountain, dozens of children played and shot water through squirt-guns, or tossed water from bottles, buckets or pans to the crowd, creating an enormous water-fight that brought laughter to all. This blessing of relatives, friends and strangers alike with water continues throughout the three day festival. Additionally, young people pour water over on the hands of elders and ask for their blessing in the coming year. Similar to a New Year’s toast in western cultures, it is frequently followed by a short speech from parents or grandparents. During the speeches, many elders give their blessing to their family, highlighting important family events including births, deaths or marriages. Traditional music, food and dance are a big part of the celebration. One of the event highlights was a pageant with young girls vieing for the title, Nang Sangkhan (Miss New
Year).There are seven contestants each one symbolizing one of King Kabinlaphrom�s seven daughters. The historical reason for instituting the Nang Sangkhan myth with the Lao New Year festivities is quite practical. In an era when the majority of society were illiterate, the presence of the Nang Sangkhan provided this population a glimpse of time and space. Each of Kabinlaphrom’s daughters is associated with the days of the week. The specific day and time of the arrival of the Sangkhan Kheun Pii Mai (as determined by the passing of the Sun into the constellation Aries) determines which of Kabinlaphom’s daughters will lead the procession and whether she will stand, sit or lie down in her chariot.

Seniors lead KM to 11-2 win over East Burke
Dellinger breaks scoring record, KMHS soccer runs SMAC table Kings Mountain’s Virginia Dellinger set the school scoring record in the Lady Mountaineers’ 9-0 victory over East Burke in the final South Mountain Conference game Wednesday night at John Gamble Stadium. The Lady Mountaineers ran the table in the SMAC, winning all 16 games. They are 18-2-1 overall heading into next week’s state tournament. Dellinger finished the game with three goals and two assists. The game was stopped twice to present her with game balls. She set the single season
record with her 51st goal of the season and now has 102 for her career, which is also believed to be a school record. The previous season record of 50 was set by Ramey Kerns, who is now the head coach at Kings Mountain Middle School and Erik Price’s assistant at KMHS. “Hopefully, Virginia will add to those totals as we move into the playoffs,” noted Coach Price. As usual, Dellinger had plenty of help from all of her teammates. Lindsey Deaver and Natalie Lutz each contributed two goals, and Mackenzie Ramsey and
Abbey Pennington each had a goal on penalty kicks. Cassidy Calhoun, Georgia Moss, Raegan Buchanan and Paloma Dettloff each had an assist. Ashley Rhom and Baylee Marr split time in goal. Heading into Wednesday’s 6 p.m. playoff game at home, the Lady Mountaineers have 143 goals, which is also a school record. The old record was 105. Coach Price said the 143 goals are the most in the state 3A ranks right now. “Hopefully, all of these totals will hold up during the playoffs,” he said.

Hall of Fame induction held The largest class in the 29-year history of the Kings Mountain Hall of Fame was inducted Saturday night at Central United Methodist. Five individuals – Carrie Brinkley Jones, Ryan Hollifield, Daniel Honeycutt, Jake Dixon and Brad Wilson – brought the number of individuals in the Hall to 92; and the state champion 1977 Babe Ruth baseball allstars became the 21st team to be honored. A crowd estimated at over 200 also saw eight deserving KMHS seniors receive college scholarships. They included Max Peterson, Leon Tuttanon, Omar Petty, Gwen Hopper, Dylan Ervin, Miranda Ellis, Brenner Martin and Demetrius Hill. In its existence, the HOF has provided $105,000 in scholarships and athletic projects at KMHS, including the naming of the Donald Parker Gymnasium and Bill Bates Field House as well as donations to lighting at Gamble Stadium, displaying the plaques at Barnes Auditorium, and donations toward the construction of the Brinkley Field House and a new concession stand/restroom facility which will be built between the football and baseball fields. Carrie Brinkley Jones, a former threesport athlete at KMHS and a star volleyball player at Gardner-Webb, was inducted by her sister, Kristie Brinkley Williams, who was her teammate at both schools. Jones still holds some records at both schools. Williams said her sister had a special ability to play under intense pressure. She remembered the time KMHS was playing for its first state championship in 1999. The

It was Senior Night for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers when they hosted East Burke in the final SMAC game at Lancaster Field. After being recognized along with their parents just before taking the field, the five seniors led the team to an impressive 11-2 victory over the Cavaliers. All five graduating seniors – Austin Gunter, David Gamble, Thomas Lavin, Matt Absher and Will Wilson – played a significant role as the Mountaineers ended their regular season with a perfect home record while taking second place in the conference. Lavin’s sacrifice fly drove in Davis with what would turn out to be the winning run in the bottom of the first inning. Davis walked with one out and took third on John Bell’s double off the right field fence. The Mountaineers blew the game wide open in the second with a seven-run outburst that included three home runs by seniors. To get things started, junior Madisyn Bolin and senior Gamble beat out infield hits to deep short. After a fielder’s choice and wild pitch, Gunter hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield. Wilson followed with a two-run homer over the center field fence. After Davis singled and Bell walked, Lavin homered over the left-centerfield fence, and Absher followed with a solo shot over left. East Burke managed its only two runs in the top of the fourth. KM answered with a run in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases on singles by Bell and Lavin, and a walk to Bolin. Gamble drew a walk to plate the run. Kings Mountain tacked on it final two runs in the fifth. Gunter’s leadoff walk was followed by a double to left by Wilson. Davis singled to left to make the score 10-2, and the final tally came home when Lavin reached on a fielder’s choice. Kings Mountain ripped 12 hits with Wilson, Davis, Bell, Lavin and Absher getting two apiece; and Bolin and Gamble adding one each. Absher went the route on the mound. Three of East Burke’s four hits led to their two runs in the fourth. Absher struck out nine and struck out the side in the second. He retired the Cavaliers in order three times.
Spring football to begin Kings Mountain High will begin spring football practice Monday after school. Coach Greg Lloyd said the players will hit the field around 3:45 p.m. The NCHSAA last year approved 10 days of spring practice. Lloyd said the Mountaineers will practice five days a week over the next two weeks. The only way they will practice on Saturday is if they lose time because of bad weather. Any new players interested in going out for football should contact Coach Lloyd.

noted KMHS head football coach Greg Lloyd during his induction speech. “He does it out of love. He has meant a lot to me. Sports do not run without people like Jake Dixon. The Hall of Fame would not be complete without Jake in it.” Dixon kidded about his salary being doubled every year and it’s added up to about “450 million” zeroes over the years. “It’s been worth it,” he said. “We have a lot of fun up there in the press box. I’ve really enjoyed it.” Hollifield and the late Daniel Honeycutt were inducted by retired KMHS coaches Larry Sipe and Denny Hicks, and Hollifield’s wife Susan. Both coaches talked about the two players’ determination and work ethic, as well as their all-around athletic ability. Both were three-sport competitors and would have played more sports if it had been allowed
at the time. “They were great athletes, tremendous competitors and best friends,” Sipe said Hollifield, who played football, basketball and track, threw the winning touchdown pass in the still talked about five-overtime victory over Smoky Mountain in the 1989 state playoffs. “As a coach I didn’t like to throw the ball,” Hicks said. “But when we needed to I knew we had someone who could do it.” Hicks called Honeycutt, who played football, baseball and basketball, “the most efficient athlete I ever coached. He may not have been the fastest, but he looked like it because he had no wasted motion. He was unique.” Sipe called Honeycutt a competitor who “wanted to be first in everything. He could have played any sport. He was a unique athlete. He could move from one sport to another and not miss a

him his talents early. He put the perfect people in his life at the perfect time.” Coach Hicks also inducted Brad Wilson, a star golfer who won numerous championships at KMHS and Campbell University. He held PGA certification for several years after leaving Campbell. “As his golf coach, I knew I was not going to mess with his skills,” Hicks said. “He was always in control. The way he approached the game was very professional. He had a tremendous amount of confidence. “Nothing has changed,” Hicks added. “You see him on the course now and his swing is still as solid as it’s ever been.” At KMHS, Wilson was a two-time player of the year and three-time conference champion. He was MVP
on three straight conference championship teams and won the Western Regional championship. He went on to win the Big South Conference individual championship at Campbell and was all-conference and BS Player of the Year. Wilson also played basketball at KMHS for three years, but didn’t play his senior year. “I remember there being two guys who were going to be juniors and their names were Daniel Honeycutt and Ryan Hollifield,” he said. “That helped me see I wasn’t going to be playing my senior year.” Wilson recalled several other outstanding golfers at KMHS, including those from a younger group that would go on to win the state championship for Coach Hicks in 1990. “The guys that I played
with would push each other to get better,” he said. “You can get better or fold up. You think you’re good but get to college and everybody was the best golfer at their high school. “It’s a great experience. Coach Hicks knew a lot about golf and he helped me get better.” Max Brooks inducted the Babe Ruth all-star team, which won the first-ever 16-year-old state championship in 1977 at KM’s Lancaster Field. “This team has always been close to my heart,” he said. “They brought a lot of laughter to my life. “David Robinson (who was head coach) and I had the most fun out of these guys,” he noted. “They always played good ball. This group not only excelled in baseball but turned into great young men.”

KM tennis in second round of playoffs Kings Mountain High’s tennis team defeated Statesville 6-2 in the opening round of the state 3A playoffs last week at the KMHS courts. The Mountaineers were scheduled to host Hickory in a second round match Tuesday afternoon. All five Kings Mountain players fell in the first round of the individual state playoffs later in the week. “This is the second year in a row we have made it to the second round,” noted Mountaineer coach Rick Henderson. “Hopefully we can manage a win against a powerful team such as Hickory.” Sending five players to the individual Western Regional
matches in Hickory may have been a first for Kings Mountain. “All five players played their hearts out throughout their matches,” Henderson said. “Unfortunately, all of our matches resulted in playing one of the top four seeds in the tournament. “Our players have a lot to be proud of having the season they had this year, especially having lost five players to graduation last year. I was truly looking for Dylan Ervin and Gibson Conner to repeat their heroics by advancing to the state championship, but unfortunately they came up short.”
DYLAN ERVIN KM 6, STATESVILLE 2 Singles Dylan Ervin (KM) d. John Waugh 6-2, 6-4; Gibson Conner (KM) d. Francisco Mass 6-2, 6-3; Bailey Goodson (KM) d. Aston Johnson 6-3, 6-2; Landon Ervin (KM) d.

Dellinger, KM girls soccer Kings Mountain Family have record-breaking year YMCA spring 2016 results Kings Mountain junior Virginia Dellinger and the Kings Mountain High women’s soccer team are having a record-breaking year. The Lady Mountaineers won their first conference championship since 2009-10 with a 16-0 record and were 18-2-1 overall heading into the state playoffs which began last night. The Lady Mountaineers have scored 143 goals to lead the state in scoring. That is also enough to take over the school record for most goals that was set in 2000 with 115. “This was all accomplished this season with the mercy rule in full effect,” noted Coach Erik Price. “The mercy rule states that the game must be played for the entire first half even if a team is up by nine or more goals. If at any time in the second half a team goes up by nine goals the game is over.
“This has been a total team effort so far this season and we are going to have to stay focused as we move forward into the playoffs. Our keepers, defense, and mid-fielders have had a great year. Our defense has allowed only 10 conference goals this season, and 26 goals overall.” Dellinger led the team in regular season scoring with a record 51 goals, surpassing the record of 50 set by Ramey Kerns in 2008. Her 51 goals also moves her into sixth place on the NCHSAA record books for most goals scored by a junior in a season. Dellinger also scored her 100th career goal this year to move her to the top of the record book for a career at KMHS. She has also taken over the assist record at KM with a single season record of 28 to surpass Lesley Potter, who had 18 in 2000.

Dellinger also took over the lead for career assists with 47, also previously held by Potter with 35. Dellinger moved into the record books with multi goal games. She had seven games in which she scored a hat trick. Meredith Ware held the previous record with two in 2001. Dellinger also had two games with four goals, and two with five. Lindsey Deaver, a freshman, also had a great year for the Lady Mountaineers. She scored 45 regular season goals which moved her into second place behind Dellinger for the single season high. Her 45 goals puts her in fourth place in the NCHSAA record book for most goals scored in a season by a freshman. She also tied Dellinger with seven hat tricks in the regular season. She also tallied two four-goal games.

New Kids Visit Club Kids Three baby goats or kids made their first public appearance at the Boys & Girls Club of Cleveland County Monday afternoon. Allison Stumbo, owner SonRidgeFarms, Kings Mountain, wanted the children to meet her two new angora goats she had just gotten after driving to a farm in Ohio to get them. A surprise visitor added to the event was a dairy goat kid that was born two days earlier. As the children circled around her to meet the goats, you could feel their excitement as one of the goats nudged their hand or sat on their lap and allowed them to be petted. (insert circle of kids picture) Stumbo runs the SonRidgeFarm summer farm experience camp near Kings Mountain. Some of the younger children from the Boys & Girls Club are able to attend the farm camp each summer. The camp allows the children to experience farm life first hand. They learn to feed a baby goat, how to milk a goat, ride horses, and other activities related to farm life. The highlight

Simple Steps to Protect Yourself from Melanoma Skin Cancer Dear Savvy Senior, Does skin cancer run in families? My 63-year-old brother died of melanoma last year, and I’m wondering about my risks of getting this. What can you tell me? Younger Sibling Dear Sibling, While long-term sun exposure and sunburns are the biggest risk factors for melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – having a sibling or parent with melanoma does indeed increase your risk of getting it two to three times. Each year, about 75,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma, and around 10,000 people will die from it. While anyone can get it, those most often diagnosed are Caucasians, age 50 and older. And those with the highest risk are people with red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, fair skin, freckles, moles, a family history of skin cancer and those who had blistering sunburns in their youth. Skin Exams The best way you can guard against melanoma and other skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas) is to
protect yourself from the sun, and if you’re over age 50, get a full-body skin exam done by a dermatologist every year, especially if you’re high risk. Self-examinations done every month or so is also a smart way to detect early problems. Using mirrors, check the front and backside of your entire body, including the tops and undersides of your arms and hands, between your toes and the soles of your feet, your neck, scalp and buttocks. Be on the lookout for new growths, moles that have changed, or sores that don’t heal. Follow the ABCDE rule when examining suspicious moles. • Asymmetry: One half of a mole doesn’t match the other. • Border: The border is blurred or ragged. • Color: The mole has uneven colors, often shades of brown, tan or black, with patches of pink, red, white or blue. • Diameter: The lesion is new or at least a quarter-inch in diameter. • Evolving: The mole is changing in size, shape or color. For more self-examination tips and actual pictures of what to look for, see
SkinCancer.org or Melanoma.org. In the spring and summer, there are a variety of places that offer free skin cancer screenings. Check with the American Academy of Dermatology (888-462-3376, aad.org/public/spotskin-cancer), which offers screenings done by hundreds of volunteer dermatologists across the U.S., and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (asds.net/skincancerscreening.aspx). Sun Protection Even though you can’t change your skin or family history, there are some proven strategies that can help you protect yourself. For starters, avoid tanning beds, and when you go outside, slather on broad-spectrum SPF 30, water-resistant sunscreen on both sunny and cloudy days. If you don’t like the rub-on lotions, try the continuous spray-on sunscreens which are easier to apply and re-apply and less messy. Also, seek the shade when rays are most intense – between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. You can also protect your skin by wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and long
sleeves and pants when possible. The best clothing options are tightly-woven fabric that help prevent the sun’s rays from reaching your skin, or you can wash-in an invisible shield sun protection into your cloths with SunGuard laundry additive (see sunguardsunprotection.com). You can even buy a variety of lightweight clothing and hats that offer maximum UV protection in their fabric. Coolibar.com and SunPrecautions.com are two sites that offer these products. Treatments If melanoma is caught and treated early, it’s nearly 100 percent curable. But if it’s not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body, where it becomes hard to treat and can be fatal. Standard treatment for melanoma is surgical removal. In advanced cases however, chemotherapy or radiation may also be used, along with a variety of new drug treatments. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
