Governor’s award to Ronnie Hawkins

Long Leaf Pine is top award to a civilian ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

The highest civilian honor in the state –the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, has been presented to Ronald J. (Ronnie) Hawkins, Kings Mountain native, by North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory.

It is the crowning cap to a career of extraordinary service and the most prestigious award to an individual with a proven record of service, including contribu-

tions to the community. “ I am very humbled,'' said Hawkins.

Hawkins has been a member of the funeral industry for 41 years and those years have all been at Harris Funeral Home in Kings Mountain of which he is general manager.

Hired by the late Senator J. Ollie Harris, Ronnie said that two men – Harris and former Scoutmaster Otis Falls Jr. - were big influences in his life and his choice of a career.

Utility Poles stir up Casino talk DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com

Ronnie Hawkins, above, holds the coveted Long Leaf Pine award he received recently from Governor Pat McCrory.

Volume 127 • Issue 19 • Wednesday, May 13, 2015

Folks driving along Dixon School Rd. in the last few days may have noticed a line of fresh utility poles that have sprouted up along a stretch of the road close to the intersection of Interstate 85.

That has led many who live and work in the community to speculate that the poles are related to the proposed Catawba Indian gaming complex, whose status has been in apparent limbo for nearly two years.

“There’s no connection between the new utility poles and the casino,” said Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey.

The development instead is part of the new relationship the city has with NTE, an electricity provider that the city has contracted with that will be breaking ground in June or July.

“We’re bringing them into the loop with electrical lines,” Murphrey said. “That’s pri-

marily what that’s about. '' Looping NTE into the city’s electrical grid is the first of three phases. After an electrical connection is completed, next will come water and natural gas ties to the energy provider. The city last year dropped it’s nearly 100-year relationship with Duke Energy when it forged an alliance with NTE. “Although they will supply the city with electricity, they’ll also become one of our largest customers for water and gas,” Murphrey said.

As far as the casino goes, Kings Mountain residents and especially those in the Dixon School Rd. community are increasingly seeing the Catawba’s gaming complex as an inevitability.

“I think it’s 70 percent yes and 30 percent no,” said Tehseen Bajwa, who is the general manager for the Kings Mountain Travel Center, a truck stop that sits just opposite of the possible casino site off I-85 on Dixon School Rd. “Many people would like

A plot of previously bare land on Dixon School Rd. that is the proposed site of a Native American run is seen adorned with a string of new utility poles earlier this week. But officials say the infrastructure is related to a new energy provider in the neighborhood and has no connection to a possible gaming complex. the casino to come, that is easy to say,” Bajwa said, noting still that business owners in the area have heard no official word. “We know that property values will rise.”

The Catawba Indian Nation submitted an application to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in September of 2013 for what some officials say would be a $600 million project on that parcel of 16 acres

of rural land that lies a few miles south of downtown Kings Mountain. Officials in Washington have provided no timeline a decision concerning the land-in-trust application.

Murphrey said city leaders have heard no news about the proposed casino.

“We don’t know anything,” he said. “It’s out of the city’s hands.”

“We know that many of the ills can be overcome with a trust in God,” said Advent Lutheran Church pastor Marty Ramey during her invocation for the solemn event. “We come to you first with confession, knowing that we have fallen short.”

Hospice volunteers and staffers joined area civic leaders and the Testa family at Friday’s unveiling of the newly named Hospice in Kings Mountain.

“We’re very grateful for this wonderful and generous gift.” That was the message from Myra McGinnis, the chief executive officer of Hospice Cleveland County, as she unveiled a new sign that showed off the new name of the Kings Mountain Hospice House.

The palliative care facility is now known as the “Testa Family Hospice House” following a donation from local businessman Jim Testa and members of his family.

“Our family is honored to be a part of helping Hospice become a better place,” said Testa, who told the crowd

■ OBITUARIES KINGS MOUNTAIN Paul William Cabe of 716 M e a d owbrook R o a d , K i n g s Mountain, NC passed away at home Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Paul was born in Franklin, North Carolina, on January 16, 1944.

Paul was a graduate of Western Carolina University where he served as student body president and was a member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. He later completed a master’s degree in History and English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Early in his career he worked in commercial real estate for Alcoa, Inc. and for the Norfolk and Western Railroad. He spent the latter part of his career in advertising and movie product placement. He served as Vice President for Product Placement for Warner Communications in New York City and Warner Movie Studios in Los Angeles. He Bruce K. Bridges, Jr., Clover, SC resident On the beautiful sunny afternoon of May 4th, 2015, B r u c e K e i t h Bridges, Junior made it home to the join the Lord and so many others he loved, most especially the welcoming arms of his Granny and PawPaw Robinson.

Bruce grew up in the idyllic town of Clover, South Carolina, a place he viewed as his real-life Mayberry and one that he could not have loved more. When Bruce graduated from Clover High, he went to bleed orange at Clemson University. He loved his Tigers and his friends there, but stayed closely connected to Clover and the loved ones in it.

The light of Bruce’s life was serving as a mathematics teacher then assistant principal for 23 years, most of those at White Knoll Middle School in Lexington, South Carolina.

The colleagues and students whose lives he touched there responded with an outpouring of love during his battle, and every card, call, and care package lifted his spirit and gave purpose to his fight. As an educator, Bruce was not only characterized by his exemplary work ethic and intelligence, but his empathy: He remembered the names, personalities, and needs of thousands of students long after they left the halls he walked each day.

Bruce was remarkably accessible, genuine, and unpretentious, yet still a true scholar and academician. Best put by a beloved former colleague, “while enthusiastically able to quote scenes and dialogue from ‘Mayberry’ Bruce was

also worked as an executive for the Mattel Corporation and Johnson and Johnson as well as other firms. While in Kings Mountain, Paul worked at the Kings Mountain Herald.

Paul had many interests.

He was an avid reader, an expert collector and appraiser of antiques, a renovator of houses and had a keen interest in local history and community affairs. Paul was an Eagle Scout and a member of Order of the Arrow. He was a camp counselor at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, New Mexico. In Kings Mountain, Paul joined First Presbyterian Church and was active in the community. He was a former member of the Gateway Trails Committee and the Downtown Improvement Committee.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Russell and Dorothy Cabe of Franklin, North Carolina, and by a nephew, Brian Russell Cabe of Alexandria, Viriginia. Paul lost his life partner, David Stephens, from a battle with cancer.

Paul is survived by a brother, Lewis Russell Cabe and wife Diane of Alexandria, Virginia; a sister Jane Cabe King and husband Jerry of Kings Mountain, NC; and

a niece, Tanessa Cabe Harte and husband Steve and two grand nieces of Forest Hills, New York. He is also survived by Jane’s stepchildren: Karen Moser and husband Jeff ; Todd King and wife Paula; Finley King and wife Eden; Susan King; and four grand nieces, three grand nephews and one great grand niece .

Visitation was from 9:3010:30 a.m. Saturday, May 9, 2015 at Harris Funeral Home, Kings Mountain, North Carolina. . Memorial services held at Ollie Harris Memorial Chapel following visitation at 11 a.m. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery in Franklin, NC. on Sunday, May 10, 2015 at 4 p.m.

Memorials are requested to First Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 1188, Kings Mountain, NC 28086 or the Brian Cabe Memorial Fund, ℅ Folger’s Shakespeare Library, 201 E. Capital Street, SE Washington, DC 20003. Harris Funeral Home of Kings Mountain is assisting the Cabe family.

just as articulate speaking the languages of higher math or Honors English.” He believed both in the students who initially shined, as well as the ones who needed a little extra light to do so. His family has been told that his whistling, Clemson orange overalls, and big grin will be missed in his school’s halls.

Most of all Bruce loved God, his school and those in it, Clover, and his family. Bruce delighted in God’s creations, from the flowers he replanted in his grandparent’s yard to his beloved horse Blackie to the incredible landscapes of the West. He was also a connoisseur of music and television with a steel-trap vault of a mind full of trivia, I Love Lucy, and The Beatles.

Bruce never had a bad day, in spite of the pain and suffering that accompanied an unexpected and untimely, yet most of all courageous, battle against cancer. Instead, he used his grin and his irrepressible spirit to lift up those around him. Inconceivably, he used his trials and tribulations as reminders of all the blessings he had and was thankful for. Bruce was at peace with his passing: He made it clear beforehand that he was at peace and ready— but not giving up—that his only concern was for those he loved and left behind, including a yet to be born nephew he had much hoped to meet.

When he was ready to go home, he was surrounded by love, his parents, a loving aunt, his baby sister and her husband—and their three very special children who brought light into his life during some of his darkest days.

Bruce and his family are immensely grateful to Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute and the care he received there. His doctors, nurses, and caregivers also became his friends—Bruce had that way about him—and he was

thankful for all of them, most especially Drs. Kudchadkar, Khan, and Lawson, among so many others. They gave him several happy months that he would not have otherwise experienced and shared.

Bruce’s life was marked by faithfulness, integrity, humility, compassion, and a playful sense of humor. He lives on through a great legacy embodied in the tens of thousands of lives he touched.

In addition to his school family, Bruce leaves behind his beloved mother Linda, father Bruce, baby sister Ashley— her family of her husband Christopher, Andrew, Elizabeth and Spencer, and many close cousins and other family members who brought immeasurable joy to his life.

All of those will miss Bruce everyday and know he’s smiling on us now.

Bruce’s life was celebrated with a visitation at M.L. Ford and Sons in Clover, South Carolina on Friday, May 8, 2015 from 6-8.

The family also received visitors at Oakdale Presbyterian Church on May 9th from 12:30 until his service begins at 2. The service was followed by a burial at Beersheba Presbyterian Church.

While flowers are welcome as memorials, as Bruce loved those so much, folks—as Bruce would say—may also make donations to The Bruce Bridges Scholarship Fund by mailing a check marked with Bruce’s name to The Lexington County School District One Educational Foundation, PO Box 1869, Lexington, SC 29071. After all, Bruce loved “his kids” even more than his flowers.

Pension plans in trouble Action Plan in the Wayne Turner retired in 1973 after 32 years driving a package car for United Parcel Service.

Now he says his monthly pension is at risk because of legislation passed by Congress last year that is meant to help underfunded multiemployer pension plans bolster their finances by giving them a way to cut benefits for some retirees.

“It isn't right and we definitely will have to adjust our lifestyles but I am not worried about me, I am concerned about what it's going to do for other drivers and their families,'' he said this week.

Turner says he doubts that many other retirees from not only UPS but Carolina Freight ( in this area) are aware of the risk of their pension being cut as a result of the legislation passed in December 2014 as part of a spending bill meant to run the federal government through the rest of its fiscal year. That legislation, he said, was added at the last minute and it is targeted at companies that enter into pension plans with other companies.

Turner is circulating flyers in the Cleveland and Gaston county areas to make people aware of what is happening and has scheduled a meeting for Saturday, May 30, at 2 p.m. at the Belmont Moose Lodge, Robert Russell Road, Belmont, exit 26

A meeting is also planned for Greensboro on May 31 at 2 p.m. at Clarion Hotel at 415 S. Swing Road, Greensboro Airport, exit 213 off I-40 Guilford College Rd/ Swing Road.

Karen Friedman, Policy Director of the Pension Rights Center, Washington, DC and Ken Paff, National Organizer of Teamsters for a Democratic Union, will be the speakers.

“We want everyone to come to this 'defend our pension meeting' to get the latest updates on the new law and threatened drastic pension cuts by the Central States Pension fund. We must learn what we can do

to protect our earned pensions,'' he said.

Petitions are being circulated by the committee to protect pensions, www. mycspensionhandsoff.com.

An independent audit will be paid by the Central States Fund to evaluate other alternatives and possible changes that may indicate other options to any proposed cuts.

“We need a second opinion to submit to the Secretary of the Treasury and other oversight bodies as well call for an immediate independent review of the Central States Fund by independent actuaries and pension experts,'' said Turner.

GROVER – Although Town Board is still waiting to hear from a IRS audit, board members voted Monday night to move forward and ask for assistance in creating an “action plan” for the town's future.

A third party is handling payroll duties and making payments in a timely manner, Mayor J. D. Ledford reported,, and state auditors have been designated power of attorney for the town's taxes.

The mayor has also asked for help in evaluating a new clerk and finance officer position for which applications are being received. The board voted to spend no more than $800 to contract with a sec-

ond party to evaluate candidates for the position.

“We are on track to be under budget by $14,000 in the general fund for the fiscal year 2014-15,'' the mayor reported.

“How can the town be under budget and still going though this financial situation,'' a Grover resident asked at the meeting.

Ledford said the budget is “tight” Another citizen commented, “You let go of the clerk but that's not the whole problem. Go back and review.”

“You took money out of one pot and put it on water/ sewer expenses and that doesn’t sound right, that de-

partment should stand alone,'' said another citizen.

The mayor explained that the town had paid water/ sewer bills in anticipation of a loan which is being held up by the Local Government Commission.

In other actions, the board: +voted to buy pedestrian signs for Main Street and Hardin Circle. +voted to accept applications for an open commissioner seat. The council member would serve until the November elections.

Four of Grover's five council seats are up for grabs in the November elections and the mayor's seat is also up.

Allen, local student inducted into Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society Steven T. Allen, of Kings Mountain, a member of the class of 2018 at Washington and Lee University, was recently inducted into Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, which is limited to students who complete the first term of their first year with superior academic records.

To be eligible for Phi

Eta Sigma, a student must be in the top 20 percent of the class at the end of his or her first term. Seventy-two W&L students were initiated at a ceremony held during W&L's 2015 Reunion Weekend.

“The academic accomplishments of the first year class, individually and col-

lectively, are very impressive,” said Jason Rodocker, associate dean of students and dean for first-year experience and adviser to the W&L chapter of Phi Eta Sigma. “Many Phi Eta Sigma inductees will obtain further academic accolades including graduate fellowships.”

East Elementary First Knight club donates to Nepal Since the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal and left thousands without a home, the Early Act First Knight Club at East Elementary School decided to send money from their highly successful talent show. .

The East School talent show raised $600 for local and international service projects. Last Thursday the club members conducted the meeting for local Rotarians and presented $300 to Rotary District 7680 and the money was doubled by the Rotarians and $600 sent to help with earthquake relief in Nepal. The remaining $300 proceeds was donated to a local cause – Relay for Life- to help with expenses for a local cancer patient.

An EAFK club was chartered at East School

by Kings Mountain Rotary Club in 2013 and, as any Rotary Club, the club is expected to choose and complete service projects. In April the East School club held the first ever East's Got Talent Show and raised $600 for local and international projects.

East Elementary is the first North Carolina elementary school to implement a EAFK program with Kings Mountain Rotary Club in 2013. Grier Middle School in Gastotnia was the first NC intermediate school to implement the program.

■ MEDITATION Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. 2By Josh Tucker Pastor this we know St. Matthew’s that we love Lutheran Church the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, 4for whatever is born of God conquers the world.

And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. 5Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:1-5

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, Jesus the living Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I recently taught a group of middle school students at camp; our topic was the Ten Commandments.

I had three, 90 minute sessions to cover all ten and discuss their place in our lives. It was quite the challenge, not only to talk about the Ten Commandments in terms that middle school students would understand but also in such a way that would help them understand how they apply to their rhythm of life.

Our conversation began by thinking about how the commandments aid us in the many relationships we have. If we follow the commandments God gives us, we remain faithful to the relationships we have and therefore can live lives of love just as the author talks about in this passage from 1 John.

The first three commandments (no

other gods before me, don’t take the Lords’ name in vain and keep the Sabbath holy) all have to do with our relationship with God. Our God commands a relationship from his children. So, if we remain faithful to these first commandments our relationship with God strengthens; we are able to experience fully his unending love for us leading us to a deeper faith.

The remaining commandments all have to do with our relationship with each other. It is only after we have established and experienced a loving relationship with God that we can begin to truly love others. Commandments such as “thou shall not steal,” “honor your mother and father” and “do not covet your neighbors house” all create for us an opportunity to live into the love that God has given to us by fostering a good and loving relationship with God’s people.

God has given us the Ten Commandments so that our relationships with God and with each other may be faithful, may be love-filled and may flourish.

In this passage from 1 John, the author writes that love for God comes when we obey God’s commandments. That, in obeying what God has commanded us to do, our faith grows into such a gift that it aids us in conquering the evil and the temptation of the world.

God’s commandments help us to establish faithful relationships so that we may experience the love of God and share that love with others. I pray this day that we see God’s commandments as a gift that are given to aid us in our walk of faith and not as a burdensome set of rules. May we experience God’s love through faith and obedience in what God commands from us this day. Amen.

TODD BAXTER shows off his oil portrait, “Luci,'' which won first place in the Southern Arts Society's “I Am Woman,'' competition.

The annual competition “I am Woman,’’ dedicated to womanhood or the essence of being a woman, attracted 60 entries in the Southern Arts Society’s competition and awards were presented at a public reception May 9.

Judging the artwork was Sharon Dowell, a painter, public art commissioned artist, and Rowe galleries Coordinator and Adjunct Professor at UNC Charlotte.

First place went to Todd Baxter for his oil portrait “Luci.” Ms. Dowell commented on the painting, “I enjoy the sensitive and visible brush strokes in this portrait. There is something nice about a work of art that makes you stop and draws you in, which is what this piece did. The painting feels intuitive rather than contrived – due to the way this woman is wearing simple, everyday clothes with her hair pushed back almost as an afterthought. Her beauty shines through.”

Second place went to Alex Pietersen for his photograph, “Emerging.”

Third Place went to Stacey Pilkington-Smith for her mixed media illustration, “Jala.”Special recognition went to three artists selected for merit awards: Liz McKay for her assemblage, “The Three Aspects: Maid, Mother, Crone; to Lynn Schilling for her watercolor portrait, ‘Marianne” and to Sara Dame Setzer for her oil painting “Kaitlyn Reading.”

Eagles Among Us

by JIM FEREBEE 17th in a series Dan Treharne was born in Orlando, FL in 1979. While still an infant, his family moved to Shelby, NC, where he grew up and attended school. He was in Cub Scouts and earned his Arrow of Light. In 1990 he joined Troop 101 sponsored

by First Baptist Church Shelby.

A short while later, Dan transferred to Troop 107 sponsored

by Aldersgate United Methodist Church. In that troop, he held various leadership positions including Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader.

Dan has many memories of his scouting experience. In particular, he recalls a camporee where there was so much rain it became known as the “rain-eree”. He was in awe watching a scoutmaster build a camp fire in those conditions. The summer camps at Camp Bud Schielde were especially enjoyable with Wilderness Survival and Swimming merit badge being highlights. Overarching his time in scouting, he fondly looks back

DAN TREHARNE on the camaraderie.

In 1997, he completed the requirements for Eagle and was awarded this rank. Dan earned about 30 merit badges in his tenure as a scout. One of the first events that made him recognize that his Eagle rank set him apart as “marked man” was when his high school drama teacher asked him to teach his fellow students how to tie knots. The teacher recognized that as an Eagle Scout he would know how to tie knots and also how to teach them.

Following high school, Dan attended UNC Greensboro earning a BSA in Theatre with Edu-

cation Focus. Since earning his degree he has been a Kings Mountain High School teacher/theatre and auditorium manager.

Dan is active in Central United Methodist Church in Shelby, NC, his home church. He is on staff as Director of Worship Media.

He has served on Boards of Directors of Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Greater Shelby Little Theatre, and North Carolina Theatre Arts Educators, and the North Carolina Theatre Conference. He is currently the President of Greater Shelby Community Theatre.

While Dan has not actively taken an adult leadership role back in scouting, he has been involved in a number of Eagle Projects.

In response to “what has scouting meant to you and how has it affected your like?”, Dan notes a number of character traits such as his “core values” and his self confidence that he attributes to scouting.

PLEA: for GOD’s help on National Day of Prayer From Page 1A Many of the speakers took the opportunity to touch on current events – both local and otherwise – that has caused many to look to a higher power.

“We are making the biggest investment in our children’s lives,” said Bernadette Byars, a Bethware Elementary School teacher, who said she and others in the community were still mourning the recent passing of 46-year-old assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction Dr. William Dixon, who died as a result of a blood clot in April.

“Lord, let us be reminded of the leaders you need us to be,” she said.

From Col. (Ret.) Joel R. Rountree, the message was God’s protection for the sometimes fragile existence of military personnel, who

he said have served their country bravely for more than 200 years.

In his prayer titled Prayer for Our Service Men and Women, Rountree asked God “to lay his hands on them and guide them” while making reference to National Guard members who have been called to help keep the peace in a handful of U.S. cities that have been seen riots and protests in recent months.

A recurring theme in Kings Mountain’s National Day of Prayer observances at City Hall was man’s need to be aided by God in his decision-making and leadership.

“You are our shepherd,” Dr. John Sloan, Jr., the pastor at First Baptist Church, said at the ceremony, which had the theme of Lord, Hear Our Cry. “We pray that you will shepherd our leaders.

He also thanked city council members for voting for the approval of an “In God We Trust” plaque to be affixed to City Hall.

Other speakers seized the moment to characterize the United States as a longstanding Christian nation that has drawn its strength from faith as much as any one element in its government.

“This nation was founded on God. We need to get back to trusting you,” said Dr. Robert Eng, who is pastor at New Life Family Worship Center. “Church of Jesus Christ is the most powerful thing on Earth.

Bless the men and women who serve you. We’re the greatest nation on Earth.”

Rev. James Lochridge,

Jr., the pastor at Second Baptist Church, led in the singing of The National Anthem. Mrs. Scott Whitney provided a solo performance of “Statue of Liberty.”The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked "to turn to God in prayer meditation". Each year since its inception, the president signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.

The modern law formalizing its annual observance was enacted in 1952, although earlier days of fasting and prayer had been established by the Second Continental Congress from 1775 until 1783, and by President John Adams in 1798 and 1799.

Governor Pat McCrory presented the plaque which includes the first verse of the official toast of North Carolina from a poem by Lenora Martin and Mary Burke Kerr -“Here's to the land of the long leaf pine.”

The award recipient is almost always surprised by the honor. Part of the uncertainty is how the award is decided.

While hundreds of people are nominated each year for outstanding service to the state or long records of public service, only the Governor may designate who is recipient of the award.

As of 2009, the Order of the Long Leaf Pine had been awarded to more than 15,000 people.

Symphony picks Potter to lead Oratorio Singers Dr. Kenney Potter of Charlotte, director of choral activities at Wingate University and formerly of Kings Mountain, will lead the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte beginning in the fall as director of choruses.

As he assumes the new responsibility, Potter will assume a larger role at Wingate University, where he has taught for 10 years.

He will become chair of the WU music department and Wingate will be adding a fifth choral ensemble this fall. He will continue to direct WU's University Singers and the Chamber Choir, as well as teaching classes in conducting and music education. And as department chair, he plans to take a more active role in recruiting students at Wingate.

Potter is a 1988 graduate of Kings Mountain High School and holds degrees f rom Florida State University, Portland State University and UNC Greensboro and his conducting experience goes well beyond choruses: He has been artistic director and conductor of the Union Symphony Orchestra and he annually

Potter said they were fortunate to have grandparents living nearby who can help when both he and his wife are busy with their many music-related responsibilities.

Potter said he was humbled and excited when the phone call came that he had been chosen as the next director of the Charlotte Oratorio Singers. He replaces Scott Allen Jarrett, who had been flying from Boston to Charlotte for the Oratorio Singers weekly rehearsals.

“We were thrilled with the talent and level of pro-

fessionalism of all of our qualified candidates but Dr. Potter was the unanimous choice to lead our chorus,'' said CSO music director Warren Green, who served on the search committee for the new Oratorio Singers director.

Potter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Potter of Kings Mountain.

KENNEY POTTER conducts productions for Wingate University Opera.

Like many musicians, Potter keeps fingers in countless pies. He's director of adult choirs at First ARP Church in Gastonia, a guest clinician at festivalsranging from Wisconsin to Georgia to Kenya this yearand a composer/arranger.

He is also founder and editor of Wingate University Music Press that publishes folk songs of South Africa, a teaching series he co-authored with Dalene Hoogenhout, conductor of the Wits Choir of Johannesburg.

“I guess it's all about balance,'' Potter said when asked about adding more to his already busy s sched-

Adam Mattox is a frontline fighter and fundraiser From microscopes to management, from his white coat in the lab to his coat-and-tie in the C-suite, RSF administrative intern Adam Mattox has explored the world of healthcare from numerous perspectives (and wardrobes).

But as the former lab supervisor at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital in Charleston, SC makes his way to a career in healthcare administration, he’s hoping to make a quick “celebrity” detour this year, and he needs your help.

Mattox is the son of Lynda and John Mattox of Kings Mountain.A 2002 graduate of Kings Mountain High School where he played on the golf team, varsity soccer team and ran crosscountry, he attended East Carolina University where he was active in the College Republicans, Kappa Sigma Fraternity, ECU Interfraternal Council and intramural sports.

After graduating with a BS in Clinical Laboratory Science, he began working at Medical Umiversity of South Carolina in Charleston, as a Medical Laboratory Scientist where he worked in Hematology, Mircobiology, Laboratory Client Services and Clinical Chemistry.

Bethel Ministries service May 23

says Mattox, a Kings Mountain native.

“Though I didn’t have direct patient contact, I was on the front lines by working in the lab, getting this crucial information to care providers quickly so they could help these patients. I witnessed the difference treatment could make when I’d see blood count results after a round of chemotherapy, for example.”

With a goal of raising $20,000 for the LLS, Adam hopes to make an even bigger difference in patients’ lives. “The LLS is a wonderful resource for patients and families dealing with these illnesses,” he says, noting that the Society can help pay medical bills and arrange transportation for patients to get to appointments.

So how can you help? You can go online and make a donation to LLS as part of the Man or Woman of the Year Campaign. Every dollar that Adam raises counts as one vote for him, and the Man of the Year with the most “votes” is crowned Man of the Year when the 10-week fundraising campaign ends on June 5, 2015.

Goff, Mountaineers win Western NC championship Kings Mountain High’s golfers are competing for the state 3A championship this week in Southern Pines after winning the Western 3A Regional Tournament last week at Mimosa Hills Country Club in Morganton.

Led by freshman Alex Goff, the Mountaineers shot 300 – their lowest score of the season – to edge three-time defending state champion Forestview by two strokes. South Point finished third with 315. All three teams advanced to the state tournament, which was played Monday and Tuesday at Longleaf Country Club in Southern Pines.

Other teams competing at Mimosa were Pisgah

(326), Hibriten (329), Patton (330), Tuscola (333), AC Reynolds (334) St. Stephens (343) and Asheville Erwin (382).

Goff’s three-under-par 69 was the only sub-par round turned in. Austin Sandford or Forestview shot 72, and Miles Robinson of Kings Mountain and Isaac Nycum of Pisgah tied for third at 73.

Other KM scores were Dawson Adams 78, Ty Withers 80 and Carson Bailey 91.

Coach Kevin Moss, whose team did not lose a match in the regular season to win the South Mountain Athletic Conference, was extremely proud of his

young team. Robinson is the lone senior.

“The guys really played well and picked a perfect time to play their best round of the season,” he said. “This was a great accomplishment for these five guys and they beat out some very strong teams. South Point beat Forestview twice during the regular season.”

It was the first time the Mountaineers played a match at Mimosa, but they did work in a practice round over the weekend.

“It’s a difficult course,” Moss noted. “It’s a private club and is one of the toughest courses we’ve played.

The greens were very difficult and fast with a lot of

tricky downhill putts. They were kind of hilly, depending on the position of the ball. They were hard and I think that helped us and probably hurt Forestview.

We caught them on a good day for us and a bad day for them.”

At one point, Goff was four-under-par. He holed two shots from off the green for birdies.

“He chipped in on number three,” Moss noted, “and flew one in from about 50 yards for a birdie on 16.

Those were two really good shots. It’s not often that someone holes out two from off the green.”

Moss was particularly proud of Miles Robinson’s

round of 73. He did not play last weekend’s practice round but played his best round of the season.

“This will be Miles’ first time to participate in the state championship,” Moss noted. “He has qualified individually for the regional tournament all four years, and now he finally gets the opportunity to play in the state championship tournament.”

Sophomore Ty Withers also turned in his lowest score of the season. That was important because Carson Bailey had an off day.

“Withers pretty much replaced what Carson would See KMHS GOLF, Page 2B

Kings Mountain Middle School placed all three of its spring sports teams in the Tri-County Conference championship games, and two of the three came out on top.

The undefeated soccer team, coached by former KMHS and East Tennessee star Ramey Kerns Bennett, swept Shelby 5-0 and Lincolnton 7-1 to complete a perfect 12-0 season in which they scored over 100 goals.

The tennis team, coached

by Audrey Harris, shutout fourth-seed Shelby 9-0 on Monday and then defeated Crest 7-2 in Thursday’s championship match on the KM court.

The KMMS baseball team, which went into the game undefeated with an 11-0 record, fell to #2 seed Crest 9-2 in the championship game after posting a 12-2 victory over #4 seed R-S Central in Tuesday’s opening round game.

In the win over the fourth-seeded Shelby girls last Tuesday at the KMMS field, the Lady Patriots kickers grabbed a quick 3-0 halftime lead and then turned

the game over to its defense.

Lindsey Deaver scored a hat trick on three assists from Maggie Lloyd. Lloyd scored the other two goals, assisted by Deaver and Sarah Drennan.

Baylee Marr was credited with her sixth shutout of the season.

“Our defense (led by Natalie Lutz, Abigail Pennington, Zoe Eagan and MaKayla Smith) remained strong throughout the game,” noted Coach Bennett.

The Lady Patriots struck quickly again in Thursday’s title game, building a 3-0 lead before Lincolnton battled back to go into halftime down 3-1. Lloyd had a foot in all three KM goals, scoring one off an assist from Deaver and assisting two by Georgia Moss.

Lloyd added two more second half goals for her eighth hat trick of the regular season. Deaver and Summer Campbell also scored in the second half. Campbell’s goal was unassisted and Deaver’s was assisted by See KMMS CHAMPS, Page 4B

KM softball, soccer at home; baseball at Burns for state 3A playoff openers Three Kings Mountain High spring sports teams open state 3A playoff action Wednesday night.

Softball

The Lady Mountaineers, champions of the South Mountain Athletic Conference, will be at home for a 7 p.m. contest with South Rowan.

Kings Mountain goes into the game as the #2 seed in the West bracket with an 18-2 record. South Rowan is seeded #31 with a 7-10 mark.

Kings Mountain ended its regular season last week with a 8-2 win over Chase and a 3-2 loss to East Burke.

East Burke scored a run in the bottom of the eighth to hand the Lady Mountaineers their only SMAC loss of the season. The Lady Cavaliers (7-15) battled back from a 2-0 first inning deficit.

Mikeala Bell led the Lady Mountaineers with 2-for-3. Miranda Ellis and Ashton Withers each went 1-for-2 with one RBI. Others with one hit were Leah Herndon, Gretchen Boyles and Kassidy Hamrick.

Against Chase, Hester went the distance on the mound. She scattered eight hits and struck out three.

Herndon, Ellis and Bell led the hitting with two hits each. Herndon scored three runs and had one RBI and Bell scored twice and drove in two runs. Ellis had one RBI. Withers went 1-for-2 with two RBI and Cassi Melton added one hit.

Soccer

Kings Mountain’s women’s soccer team will open the state 3A playoffs Wednesday night at 6 p.m. home against Fred T. Foard.

The KM kickers carry a 13-4-1 overall record and the number 13 seed into the playoffs after ending the regular season last week.

Foard comes in as the 20th seed with a 13-7-1 record.

Kings Mountain defeated South Point 3-2 in a non-conference game last Wednesday in Belmont.

Virginia Dellinger scored two goals and Cassidy Calhoun had one goal and one assist. Ashley Rhom and

McKenzie Ramsey each had an assist.

In their final SMAC game Friday, the Lady Mountaineers shut out East Burke 8-0.

Dellinger and Jamie Slater scored two goals each. Ramsey, Paloma Dettloff, Meredith Baker and Molly Vongphouthone added one goal each.

Dettloff and Lyndsey Barnes had three assists each. Cassidy Calhoun had two.

Sara Smart was in goal for the shutout.

Baseball

Kings Mountain’s baseball team will face a very familiar foe in the opening

round of the state 3A playoffs Wednesday night.

Kings Mountain drew the #31 seed out of 32 teams and will travel to Lawndale to face county rival Burns at 7 p.m. The Bulldogs are the #2 seed after winning the South Mountain Athletic Conference and going 19-3 overall. The Mountaineers lost two close games to the Bulldogs in the regular season, including a 10-inning contest at Lancaster Field.

The Mountaineers posted victories over Hunter Huss and East Burke last week to close out their regular season with a 9-7 South Mountain Athletic Conference record and 11-10 overall mark.

Madisyn Bolin works on a three-hit shutout over Hunter Huss in Kings Mountain’s 10-0 win over the Huskies Wednesday at Lancaster Field.

Matt Absher’s two-run home run over the left field fence capped a seven-run fourth inning in Kings Mountain’s 10-0 win over Hunter Huss Wednesday night at Lancaster Field.

Madisyn Bolin retired the Huskies in order in the top of the fifth to end the game on the 10-run mercy rule.

Bolin went the distance, giving up just three hits and fanning six.

The Mountaineers built a 3-0 lead and then sent nine batters to the plate in the fourth to blow the game open. Robbie Lysek’s double and RBI singles by Brandon Bell and Shawn Adams preceded Absher’s

blast.

Adams and Colby Crisp led the Mountaineers with two hits each. Stevens, Absher, Bolin, Lysek and Bell added a hit apiece.

At East Burke Friday night, KM used a five-run first inning to take an early lead and added on throughout to post a 12-3 victory.

Lysek, Bolin and Brandon Bell led the Mountaineers with two hits each. Bell clubbed a triple and Bolin and Lysek each had a double.

Absher, Bryson Bailey and Lysek all saw action on the mound with Bailey earning the win.

KMHS earns SMAC Wells Fargo Cup Kings Mountain High School has won the Wells Fargo Conference Cup for having the best overall athletic program in the South Mountain 2A/3A Athletic Conference for the 2014-15 school year.

Kings Mountain compiled 54 points during the spring sports season to give it a total score of 122.5 points. Points are awarded on a scale of 9-to-1 based on nine points for winning a conference championship and declining by a point for conference position, down to one for finishing ninth.

KM edged out Cleveland County rival Shelby by four points. The Lions posted

118.5, followed by Crest 108.5, R-S Central 92.5, East Burke and Draughn 87.5 each, Chase 64 and Burns 56.5.

Kings Mountain won spring championships in golf and softball. The Mountaineers finished second in women’s track and tennis, third in soccer and men’s track, and fourth in baseball.

Kings Mountain trailed Shelby by seven points (75.5 to 68.5) after the winter season. The Lions won two championships in the spring (tennis and men’s and women’s track) but finished ninth in baseball and softball.

KM golfers 8th after first round Kings Mountain High’s golfers were in eighth place heading into the final round of the state 3A championship yesterday at Longleaf Golf and Country Club in Southern Pines.

The Mountaineers shot a first round team score of 314 on Monday. Defending champion Forestview and East Rowan were tied for first with 295s, followed by Marvin Ridge (303), Cuthbertson (306), Rockingham County (309), Corinth Holders (310), and South Point (312).

Freshman Alex Goff of the Mountaineers was

tied for 12th place with a 35-39—74. Miles Robinson was tied for 26th with a 36-41—77, Ty Withers was tied for 40th with a 39-41—80, Carson Bailey was tied for 54th with a 41-42—83, and Dawson Adams was tied for 59th with a 41-43—84.

Tuesday’s round was after The Herald’s press deadline. Check next week’s paper for final results.

KMHS GOLF: Goff, Mounties win Western NC Championship From Page 1B normally shoot,” Moss said. “He stepped up and played very well. He had been averaging 86 and to come in with an 80 was very important. It’s always good when someone steps up when someone else is having an off day.”

The Mountaineers played a practice round Sunday at Longleaf. Moss predicts it will take two 18-hole rounds in the 290s to win.

“The course is not as tough as Mimosa Hills,” Moss noted. “It has some challenging holes but it

has some easy holes. It’s a typical Southern Pines/ Pinehurst course with a lot of green side bunkers, flat and surrounded by pine trees. It’s a very good course to hold the state tournament.

“Hopefully, the momentum from being undefeated and winning the regional will carry over for us,” he added. “If we can play as well as we played at Mimosa we ought to be right there in the mix. Mimosa is one of the toughest courses we’ve played and it’s tougher than the one we’re playing on in the state tournament. “

HALL OF FAME: Four join KM Sports Hall of Fame From Page 1B

Leigh’s son Andy accept the award.

Leigh grew up playing baseball in Kings Mountain little leagues and pony leagues and he was an allstar player on the championship 1967 KMHS team.

He went on to a 33-year career as a teacher/coach at numerous schools in the Carolinas, including KMHS. “Tony came across as tough, but he was a simple person,” Coach Latham said. “He was a very supportive person. Whether you were right, wrong or indifferent he always had your back.”

Leigh was a lifelong Notre Dame fan and coached by the Fighting Irish motto “play like a champion today.” Latham said he also lived his coaching life like a favorite quote of his, “Each day I have the opportunity to be good, better or best. I won’t rest until

my good is better and my better best.”

Leigh coached numerous championship teams in softball at Canton Pisgah and Kings Mountain. One of his KMHS baseball teams finished fifth in the state and one of his Canton teams played for the state championship.

In thanking the Hall of Fame and others for their support of his father, Andy, who played baseball at KMHS under his father’s guidance, said Tony’s “biggest accomplishment was not winning or losing but when he came back to Kings Mountain to coach.

He always loved being a Mountaineer.”

Coach Leigh always put his players first, Andy said.

“In one breath he would chew you out and by the end of the day have them in a big bear hug and telling them how much he loved them,” Andy said.

Priscilla Rickenbacker was a standout basketball and softball player at

KMHS as well as Methodist College and North Carolina Wesleyan. In fact, she was Wesleyan’s first-ever All-American in basketball.

She also played volleyball and tennis at KMHS. In introducing her, her longtime friend Paul Ingram called her a “great coach, great teacher and great educator.”

Rickenbacker, who spent several successful years as an assistant basketball coach at major universities, gave credit to God, Tony Leigh and retired KMHS principal Jackie Lavender for getting her into coaching.

She said she really didn’t have a desire to get into coaching. But, the 1979 KMHS graduate was visiting relatives in Grover one day 14 years later and decided to go by the high school. It was the first time she’d been back since graduation.

“I went into Mrs. Lavender’s office,” she recalled.

“We began talking and she

told me I should be an assistant with Tony Leigh. Tony gave me my first coaching opportunity.”

She was Leigh’s varsity assisted and head JV coach at KMHS for two years and followed that with two years as head varsity coach at North Gaston, where she coached one championship team and was conference Coach of the Year. She then moved into the college ranks.

Coaching allowed her to plant seeds in a lot of young people that crossed her path, Rickenbacker noted.

She is now athletic director at Greater Providence Baptist Church in Charlotte and oversees a youth basketball program that serves 500 young people.

Mack was one of the original four inductees into the HOF in 1988 along with George Adams, the late Jake Early and the late John H. Moss.

KMTD golf tournament most successful ever Friday’s 8th annual Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Golf Tournament at Kings Mountain Country Club was its most successful ever.

President David Brinkley said the tournament grossed approximately $31,775 and should net about $27,851 after expenses.

“That was the best tournament ever,” said Brinkley.

“We netted $19,400 last year so that’s about an $8,000 growth.”

Thirty-two teams competed in the four-person, captain’s choice event. Five teams had to be turned away.

“We could not have done this without all the volunteers that worked so hard,” Brinkley said. “We appreciate every one of them for taking their time to come out and give of their time and talents.”

Winners were: First flight – Gerald Putnam, Russ Putnam, Jordan Van Dyke and Tommy Badgett.

Second flight – Bryant Wells, Toney Wells, Ty Withers and Josh Etters.

Third flight – Brad Jones, Andy Jones, Mark Griffin and Sean Sassano.

Fourth flight – Dustin Morehead, Kevin Cruise, Rai Robinson and Wayne Bridges.

Fifth flight – Kevin Osborne, Mike Seuss, Joey Bouchard and Jason Burgin.

Sixth flight – Raegan Harper, Jack Howell, Steve Murchita and Bill Booth.

“We want to thank everybody for the overwhelming support,” Brinkley said. “This is just unbelievable. We’re overwhelmed.”

Driving Safely with Dementia and Knowing When to Quit Dear Savvy Senior, Is it safe for seniors with dementia to drive, and if so, when should they stop? My dad has early Alzheimer’s disease but still drives himself around town just fine.

Looking Ahead Dear Looking, While most doctors agree that people with moderate to severe dementia should not take the wheel, in the early stages, the medical consensus is that driving performance should be the determining factor of when to stop driving, not the disease itself.

With that said, it’s also important to realize that as your dad’s driving skills deteriorate over time from the disease, he might not recognize it.

So it’s very important that you work closely with him and his doctor to monitor his driving. Here are some tips that can help.

Warning Signs The best way to keep tabs on your dad’s driving is to take frequent rides with him watching out for key warning signs. For example: Does

he have trouble remembering routes to familiar places? Does he drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate or drift between lanes? Does he react slowly or make poor driving decisions?

Also, has your dad had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on his vehicle? These, too, are red flags.

If you need some assessment help, hire a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. To locate a specialist see driver-ed.org or aota.org/older-driver.

Transition Tips Through your assessments, if you believe it’s still safe for your dad to drive, you may want to start recommending some simple adjustments to ensure his safety, like driving only in daylight and on familiar routes, and avoiding busy roads and bad weather.

Also, see if he will sign an Alzheimer’s “driving contract” (see alz.org/ driving to print one) that designates someone to tell him when it’s no longer safe to drive.

In addition, you should also consid-

er getting a GPS vehicle tracking system for his car (like motosafety. com or mobicopilot.com) to help you keep an eye on him. These devices will let you track exactly where he’s driving, and allow you to set up zones and speed limits that will notify you via email or text message when he exits an area or arrives at a designated location, and if he’s driving too fast.

ifetime.com – click on “Dementia and Driving.”

Time to Quit When your dad’s driving gets to the point that he can no longer drive safely, you’ll need to talk to him. It’s actually best to start having these conversations in the early stages of the disease, before he needs to quit driving, so he can prepare himself.

If he still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to see if they can help. Some states require doctors to report new dementia cases to the DMV, who can revoke the person’s license.

You also need to have a plan for alternative transportation (including a list of family, friends and local transportation services) that will help your dad get around after he stops driving.

For tips on how to talk to your dad, the Hartford Financial Services Group and MIT AgeLab offers a variety of resources at safedrivingforal-

Refuses To Quit If your dad refuses to quit you have several options. First, suggest a visit to his doctor who can give them a medical evaluation, and “prescribe” that he stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family.

If all these fail, consider hiding his keys or just take them away. You could also disable his vehicle, park it in another location so he can’t see it or have access to it, or sell it.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

championships.

Childers holds all the career pitching records at both KMHS and USC Upstate, most of which may never be broken, Grayson said. Some of the more impressive ones were a 91-8 career mark at KMHS with 1,284 strikeouts and a season record of 49 runs batted in; and at Upstate, 113 wins (also an Atlantic Sun Conference record). She and her teammates still hold several North Carolina high school records, including only two runs allowed in one season, 28 shutouts, 19 consecutive shutouts and 136 consecutive scoreless innings.

While records were established by Morgan’s outstanding talent in the circle, Grayson said “one word and one gesture” best described her. “The word is

competitor, and the gesture is heart,” she said.

Responding to a comment by Morgan that she was not heavily recruited, Grayson said “a lot of times college coaches aren’t looking at the right thing.

Just velocity shouldn’t be enough. Mo was the total package. She knew how to win.”

If today’s electronic craze had been in style during Childers’ playing days, Grayson said her hash tag would probably be “#mo’emdown.”

Childers gave credit for her success to her family and coaches and did not touch on any individual records.

“My favorite game will always be the no-hitter I shared in high school with my sister Jordan,” she said.

She called her high school coaches, Grayson

and pitching coach Don Sweezy, “the most dedicated coaches around. They taught us to be good teammates and good people. I would not have chosen anyone else to coach me.

“I had the best teammates anyone could have,” she added. “We were blessed to grow up playing together. We truly cared about each other.”

Dale Hollifield was inducted by his close friend and teammate, Jerry Adams. They met in seventh grade when they went out for the Central School midget football team. They played side by side for two years there, four at KMHS and three at Western Carolina University.

“Dale is a special individual,” Adams said. “He is a special husband, dad and granddad. A person like him is easy to look up to.”

Hollifield, Adams and many of their teammates were seniors on the 1960 KMHS football team that went 9-1 and played in the prestigious Lions Bowl allstar game in Forest City.

“That was a big all-star game back then,” Adams noted. “We were as proud of that as we would have been if it’d been the Shrine Bowl.”

Adams pointed to numerous benevolent projects Hollifield and his wife, Dianne, have supported in Kings Mountain and WCU. Hollifield was a walk-on football player at WCU, and he and his wife now sponsor a scholarship for walk-on players there. They also have pledged another scholarship for other athletes.

They also provided funds for renovation of the WCU football locker room, which is now named in their

honor.

“He left his mark on Western Carolina,” Adams said.

“Dale was alays a great team player,” Adams noted.

“We were beside each other wherever we played, so we just murdered whoever was in front us.”

Adams also pointed out some of Hollifield’s numerous contributions to KMHS and community athletics.

He joined the Booster Club in 1984 and has taken a leadership role every year since and he is on the Board of Directors of both the KM Hall of Fame and KM Touchdown Club, as well as serving on the Cleveland County Schools athletic board.

“I asked him one time why he does so much (at both Western and Kings Mountain),” Adams said.

“He told me, ‘I received a

lot from them and I want to give it back,’” Never one to expect credit, Hollifield simply said thank you to the Hall of Fame, his family, Jerry Adams and all of the men he played football for in Kings Mountain – Jim Conner and Bud Medlin at Central School, and John Gamble, Bill Bates, Don Parker and Fred Withers at KMHS. “Jerry inspired me to do better all of the time,” Hollifield said. “And all of my coaches here were good role models.

“I also want to thank the people I have worked with in the Booster Club, Touchdown Club, Hall of Fame and press box; and also the great crowd that is here tonight.”
