At County Fairgrounds
Relay for Life Friday Everyone’s reason to Relay for Life is unique as their own personal story of cancer. Cleveland County Relay for Life will get underway Friday at 4 p.m. and continue until 12 midnight with hundreds of people participating at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. For the first time in recent years, Kings Mountain Relay will merge with the county event and numerous teams are ready to have fun on the theme, “Super Heroes,’’ and rally for a good cause. The Relay starts at 4 p.m. with a Survivor reception at Goforth Hall, entertainment, light refreshments and distribution of survivor shirts. At 6 p.m. cancer sur-
vivors will circle a track together, either walking or riding a tram, to help celebrate the victories they have achieved. After dark, the luminary ceremony honors people who have been touched by cancer and remembers those lost to the disease. Teams of youth and adults representing churches and organizations from all over the county will have a wide variety of crafts, handmade items, baked goods and food available for sale for benefit of the cancer campaign. Funds raised help the American Cancer Society provide free information and support for people facing the disease today, and fund cancer research that will help protect future
Liberty Mountain: It’s All About the audience When I first started writing stage plays s o m e years ago, a wise theatre person ROBERT INMAN told me, “Remember, it’s all about the audience.” Everybody associated with a play – playwright, director, actors, crew members, volunteers – works for the folks in the seats. If everybody onstage and backstage does their jobs right, the audience has a satisfying experience. “Liberty Mountain,” the Revolutionary War Drama, which opens at the Joy Performance Center in Kings
Mountain on June 23, is my eighth play. And it’s still all about the audience. The job of my colleagues and me is to transport our audiences into the Carolina backcountry of 1780, to portray a cast of characters who are authentic and compelling, and to tell an important story using all the stagecraft at our disposal. We ask the audience to take a leap of faith with us into that time and place, and we help them do that through sight and sound, lights and music, words and actions. If we are successful, the audience “gets it.” “Liberty Mountain” has all the elements of a powerful tale – immigrants who come to America seeking a new life, the tragic conflict among neighbors who are divided by loyalty to the king on the one hand and the hunger for independence on the other, and an See LIBERTY, Page 4A
generations. During Relay for Life events, members of each team take turns walking or running around the track. Teams participate in fundraising in the months leading to the event, as well as in the event. Julie Pearson, Community Manager for a number of years, began her activity with Relay after the death of a family member. Many people participating in the event have suffered themselves from the insidious disease or some member of their family have suffered cancer and died and all come for the same reason. To save lives. More information on Relay for Life is included on page 3 in this week’s edition of The Herald.

Nothing is passed – and won’t be – until after a public hearing in June SELLERS on the 2017-18 recommended city budget of $42,540,931.00 by City Manager Marilyn Sellers. The proposed budget is on the table with no increases in any city services and no increase in the ad valorem tax rate of 43 cents per $100 property valuation. The seven-member city
council took their first look at the proposed budget Monday night and apparently liked what they saw. In her opening statement Sellers said, “I hope that you all are as excited about this budget as I am. It’s the beginning of a new day,’’ said Sellers. The manager’s budget proposes: • No sanitation increase. • No electric increase. • No water increase. • No wastewater increase. • No storm water fee increase. • no natural gas increase. • no cemetery increase. • no new positions • no increase in insurance benefits to employees
but health insurance that the city pays its 200 full time employees will go up 20% as well as a 10% increase in liability insurance. The increase to the city results from higher claims. Retirement and insurance benefits will continue for full time city employees. Sellers and Human Resources Director Randy Patterson encourage city employees to enroll in wellness/ preventive health classes to help reduce insurance costs. “I’m beginning to see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ thanks to a proactive staff, department heads, the mayor and city council. “You made some hard decisions to get us where we See BUDGET, Page 4A
Stewart Realty Investments
Historic bank building to get facelift and grant Stewart Realty Investments, LLC plans major renovations to the former First Union National Bank Building, corner of S. Battleground and West Mountain Street downtown. Monday night city council awarded a facade grant of $6,000 and a general inducement grant of $1,000 to the project. Jan Harris, Main Street Director, said that Frank Stewart of Belmont, owner of the historic bank building, plans to replace the exterior doors, the stucco entrance, and repair damages to the marble in the entrance area and repair the existing historic lintel and pilasters and bank sign, refurbish the pro-
tective bars on the windows and paint the exterior brick to cover three competing brick colors on the original building at cost of $250,000. Harris said a light to dark gray paint will probably be used. The original main floor downstairs will be a show room for law enforcement products, bullet proof vests, helmets, shields, etc. and the shop will be known as Premier Body Armor. One apartment on the second floor will be subdivided into two one bedroom units in the future. Rehabilitation projects of historic buildings must meet numerous standards by the U. S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation to qualify as “certified
rehabilitations” eligible for 20% rehabilitation tax credit. These standards apply to historic buildings of all periods, styles, types, materials and sizes. The historic character is being retained and preserved and any deteriorated historic features are being repaired rather than replaced. In other actions, city council at a special meeting Monday night: • Approved budget amendment in the amount of $10,000 for legal expenditures incurred by the Planning Department • Approved budget amendment of $45,000 for the addition of a tractor needed for street maintenance/ grass mowing.

Relay for Life set for May 19 It has become a yearly tradition for many people in our area – walking the track and participating in the events surrounding the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Relay For Life of Cleveland County. This year’s event will take place on Friday, May 19, 2017, from 4 p.m. until midnight at the Cleveland County Fairground. Relay For Life “unites cancer survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and community members in an effort to free the world from the pain and suffering of cancer,” according to publicity materials. Jeff Wright knows that pain and suffering all too well. He first participated in the Relay in 2009 in support of his sister, who was battling leukemia, and his sisterin-law, who had breast cancer. Wright’s sister, Sheila Whisnant, died later that year. His sister-inlaw, Karen Martin, recovered and is doing well. Wright organizes his team, “Family Ties,” each year in memory of his sister and in honor of his sister-in-law. Wright’s “Family Ties” team is among close to 100 teams helping to raise funds for this year’s Relay. During the event, members of each team take turns walking or running around a track. Teams also
participate in fundraising in the months leading up to the event. “I think most families have been touched by cancer in some way,” says Wright. “This is our family’s way to help those who Cancer survivors walk (or ride) a lap around the track to kick off the Relay For Life event. have had to deal with it in the past celebration.” or who are dealing with it now.” Activities will continue His team plans to host a booth throughout the evening as team selling various food items.

budgets, but anytime you can present a budget with no increases in today’s climate - is a definite victory for us all! “We are in a good financial position,’’ said Sellers, who said $100,000 will be budgeted for the second year for a pay study to bring employee pay up to market standards via a ‘step’ program. Outside professional agencies have assisted in the process and all of the city employees have been identified where they place in the market and about 70% have been addressed in the current budget. Revenue was not impacted by the mild winter thanks to the additional electric load that NTE is utilizing during their construction period of the
power plant, increased electric load by STI and new customer Plastic Products. Customer meter count saw a 5% increase as the growth continues in the City’s residential customer base. The Finance Director, Chris Costner, stated with his many years of experience in the auditing world, that he is very impressed with the direction the City is moving and the plan of action in place for the future. A projected increase in the fund balance in the general fund is expected but no definite numbers are available until after the audit is completed.

He added, “Statistics have shown for years that drug use leads to other crimes in particular breaking and entering and larcenies where users have to steal to fund their habit.

I looked in the mirror and there was an old face with a gray beard looking back at me. The realization came swiftly. I’m old. But I was so young just the other day. Where did those days go?

3A NCHSAA PLAYOFFS
Kings Mountain goalkeeper Baylee Marr makes one of her nine saves in first round win over Jay M. Robinson in NCHSAA soccer playoffs Wednesday at Gamble Stadium.
KM track stars win Western Regional
Lauren Campbell takes a shot for the Lady Mountaineers in win over Robinson.
KM kickers beat Robinson, Hibriten; at Cox Mill Wednesday in 3rd round Kings Mountain High’s women’s soccer team hits the road tonight for Cox Mill for a 6:30 p.m. third round game in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 3A playoffs. The Lady Mountaineers won 5-3 on penalty kicks to edge Lenoir Hibriten in the second round Monday night at KM’s John Gamble Stadium after the two teams battled to a 2-2 deadlock
in regulation and couldn’t break the tie in two 10-minute and two five-minute overtimes. The Lady Mountaineers, now 21-2, kicked first with freshman Maggie Lloyd putting a hard shot into the back corner of the net. Hibriten was able to answer that goal as well as another goal by Cassidy Calhoun to keep the game tied. After Lauren Campbell’s goal put KM up 3-2 on PKs,
keeper Baylee Marr batted away Hibriten’s third attempt. Goals by Virginia Dellinger and Sarah Drennan clinched the victory. Kings Mountain had taken a 2-0 lead in regulation with Drennan scoring with 2:45 left in the first half and Lloyd faking out the Hibriten keeper and smashing a goal into the middle of the net with 30:12 left in the second half. Hibriten’s Allison Her-
rera got open with 16:26 remaining to cut the margin to 2-1, and tied the game with a goal to the corner of the net with 4:58 left in regulation. Both teams threatened several times in the overtime periods but great play by the goalkeepers kept the game tied. Marr saved the game for the home team with 6:30 left in the second 10-minute overtime when she stopped a flurry of three
shots by the Panthers right in front of the net. The Lady Mountaineers opened the playoffs Wednesday night at home with a 3-0 victory over Jay M. Robinson. Lloyd, the leading scorer in the South Mountain Athletic Conference, broke the scoreless tie with a shortrange goal with 9:38 left in the half. Paloma Dettloff See SOCCER, Page 3B
10th KMTD tourney raises $48,440 The 10th annual Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Golf Tournament Friday at Kings Mountain Country Club was its best ever, raising over $40,000 for Kings Mountain High athletics. Brothers Chris and Michael Jolly teamed with Bryant Wells and Kenny Walker to win the first flight. Thirty-one teams participated. “It was by far our most successful tournament,” said KMTD Club president David Brinkley. “This was our tenth year, and we had more sponsors than any previous year. “A big thank you goes to the people that donated for the raffle prizes with items valued over $10,000, Brinkley noted. “With total teams, sponsors, and raf-

I would like to thank all of the volunteers that helped us put this tournament together as well as Kings Mountain Country Club for providing the use of the course. I also want to thank all of the participants and sponsors that See KMTD, Page 4B

Mack inducted into County Hall of Fame Kings Mountain’s Kevin Mack was inducted into the Cleveland County Sports Hall of Fame Tuesday evening at Shelby City Park. Mack was joined in the Class of 2017 by River Bend Golf pro Phil Wallace and former Burns High athlete Tony Scott. Mack was a standout running back for the Kings Mountain Mountaineers, Clemson Tigers and Cleveland Browns from 19781992. He helped the Tigers win the NCAA championship in 1982 and was the Rookie of the Year and two-time All-Pro with the Browns. Mack was one of the original four inductees into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame in 1988, along with the late Washington Senators star catcher Jake Early, the late KM Mayor John Henry Moss, and Compact High, KMHS, Gardner-Webb University, and ABA basketball star George Adams. Many of Mack’s supporters over the years, including his wife Ava, the entire KMHS football coaching staff during his senior season of 1979, teammates and friends were on hand to see him honored. Former Shelby and UNC tennis great Jim Corn inducted all three men to the Hall of Fame, pointing out that Mack’s illustrious career in football overshadowed outstanding achievements in high school track. Corn reminded the crowd that during Mack’s junior year at KMHS that he, Chuck and Rodney McSwain of Chase and Harvey McSwain of Shelby brought out huge crowds to local stadiums to watch them battle in the 100-yard dash. Mack and Chuck and Rod McSwain all ended up on the national championship football team at Clemson. Chuck McSwain and Mack were running backs and Rod McSwain was a defensive back. All three also ended up in the NFL, with Chuck McSwain in Dallas and Rod with the New England Patriots. During his senior year at KMHS, Mack set a school and county rushing record with 1,585 yards in 10 games while leading Coach Dan Brooks’ Moun-
taineers to an overall 8-2 record. South Point, which edged KM 15-12 for the Southwestern Conference championship, went on to win the state championship. South Point coaches will tell you to this day that Kings Mountain was the best team they played that year. At that time, only the conference champion advanced to the state playoffs. While at Clemson, Mack set the school’s single season rushing record for a fullback and was an Honorable Mention All-American. He played one season with the Los Angeles Express in the USFL. He was drafted 10th in first round of the NFL supplemental draft by the Browns and was an instant success. During his rookie season, Mack and Earnest Byner, an East Carolina product, became just the third duo in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards each in the same season. Mack led the team with over 1,100 yards, breaking NFL legend Jim Brown’s rookie rushing record. Mack told the packed house at City Park that breaking records are fine, but even individual records are a team accomplishment. “I always had fun playing the game,” he said. “We had some great teams in Cleveland County. It’s
amazing that I ended up at Clemson with Chuck and Rod McSwain. All three of us ran a 4.4 forty, and were from the same (high school) conference.” He said entering the Cleveland County Hall of Fame is “a great honor, and heartfelt. It’s always a pleasure to come back home.” He thanked his wife of 31 years, Ava, for “being behind me. She’s seen the good and the bad of playing football.” Football is still a big part of Mack’s life. He is employed by the Browns as Director of Alumni Relations. “I enjoyed playing football,” he said. “It will always be real close to my heart.” Several other KM athletes were also honored: KMHS senior Cooper Short received the Debbie Harris scholarship and Kassidy Hamrick received the KMHS Honor Athlete award. Certificate of Merit awards went to the following KMHS student athletes: Bryson Bailey, Darren Burns, Virginia Dellinger, Mandy Hamrick, Josh Helton, Steven Russell, Alec Seaward, Ashton Withers, Alex Goff, Natalie Lutz, Madelynn Frye and Cooper Short.

Alex Goff 22nd in state tourney Kings Mountain High’s Alex Goff tied for 22nd in last week’s 3A state championship golf tournament at Foxfire Golf Resort. Eighty golfers participated in the two-day event. Goff shot a 155, including 81 on the opening day and 74 on the second day “Alex had difficulty getting into a rhythm on Monday and just couldn’t get his game going in the right direction,” noted Mountaineer coach Kevin Moss. “However, on Tuesday he bounced back and started his round by birdieing his first hole. He closed out the first nine holes two over par (38) and finished the round with nine consecutive pars to finish with a 74. He gave himself several birdie opportunities and could have easily shot under par on Tuesday. He really showed his toughness and competitive nature by overcoming such a disappointing first round by playing so well on Tuesday. “Our team didn’t finish the season the way we wanted but we still had a very successful season. We won the Cleveland County High School Tournament, we won the conference championship, we qualified as a team for the 3A Western Regional tournament, we had three individuals make All-Conference (Dawson Adams, Alex Goff and Joey Blanton) and Alex Goff won the Conference Player of the Year and was a

Emma Goff scored two goals off assists from Sage Wright, and Wright scored two with Martin and Rece Guy providing the assists. Cheyenne Ernst scored the final goal, assisted by Martin.
ALEX GOFF state championship tournament qualifier. We’ll be losing some very good players due to graduation. Dawson Adams, Carson Bailey and Cameron Mack have played all four years of high school and represented KMHS really well. My other senior, Joey Blanton, played only two years but was a big part of our success this year. He really improved over the
past year and became a big contributor to our success. “I want to thank Ken Bridges, Ken Nantz and John McGinnis of Kings Mountain Country Club for all their help and support of our golf programs. They always help and make sure we have everything we need, especially on the days we host a match.”

SOCCER: Lady Mountaineers advance; to face Cox Mill on the road tonight From Page 1B provided the assist from the corner. The Lady Mountaineers got their offense moving quicker in the second half and broke the game open on a pair of goals from Calhoun. Calhoun scored with 25:38 left, and again with 16:41 remaining to finish off the shutout. Olivia Martin and Lloyd had the assists. Marr had nine saves to keep the visitors off the board, with most of them coming in the first half as the 19th-seeded visitors
fought hard for a possible upset. The Mountaineers kept the ball on their end of the field much of the second half. The winner of tonight’s KM-Cox Mill game will advance to the fourth round May 20 against the winner of the Marvin Ridge-Tuscola game. The Western Regional is slated for May 23 and the state finals is May 27. SOFTBALL Kings Mountain’s girls softball team ended its season Wednesday with a 3-0 loss at Sun Valley High in

Nifty Gadgets That Can Help Seniors with Hearing Loss Dear Savvy Senior, What types of products can you recommend to help people with hearing problems? My 65-year-old husband has some hearing issues, but doesn’t think he needs a hearing aid, so I’m looking for some alternative devices that can help. Loud Talker
especially in noisy environments, there are personal sound amplification products that can be worn in the ear like a hearing aid, and are designed to amplify sound while reducing background noise. Two top rated products to consider that were recently recommended by Consumer Reports are the SoundWorld Solutions CS50+ and the Etymotic Bean.
Dear Loud, If your husband feels he’s not ready for a hearing aid but needs some hearing help, there are dozens of “assistive listening devices” on the market today that can make a big difference.
The CS50+, which costs $350, looks like a Bluetooth cell phone headset, and has customizable settings that can be programed with a smartphone. The Etymotic Bean, which costs $399 a pair or $214 for one, is ready to use right out of the box and is best suited for those with high-frequency hearing loss.
Assistive listening devices are over-thecounter electronic products (they are not FDA approved hearing aid devices) that can amplify and improve sound to help your husband in different listening situations. It’s also important to know that these products are best suited for people with mild to moderate hearing impairment, and they usually aren’t covered by insurance or Medicare. Here’s a breakdown of some of the different devices that can help. Personal amplifiers: For better hearing,
If these are too pricy, there are also a number of small hand-held or body-worn amplifiers – like the Williams Sound Pocketalker ($139) and Bellman & Symfon Mino Personal Amplifier ($188) – that have a microphone and headphones or earbuds that are very effective too. TV amplifiers: To hear the television better, there are TV listening devices that will let your husband increase the volume and adjust the tone to meet his needs, without blasting you out of the room.
Some of the best options include wireless infrared, radio frequency or Bluetooth devices that come with standard or stethoscope headphones. Sennheiser makes a variety of quality products with prices running between $130 and $450. Or, for a more affordable solution, consider the Serene Innovations TV Sound Box for $120. This is a wireless amplified TV speaker that would sit near your husband, and provide clear stereo sound from the TV without the need for headsets. Amplified telephones: To have clearer phone conversations, there are a wide variety of amplified telephones that offer enhanced volume and tone adjustments, and they usually come with extra loud ringers and flashing ring indicators to alert him when a call is coming in. Some top makers of these products are Clarity, ClearSounds and Serene Innovations, and a top seller today is the Clarity XLC2+ Amplified Phone ($144), which is a cordless phone that provides three tone settings and 50 decibels of amplification. Alerting devices: There are also a variety of alerting devices that can help people
who have trouble hearing the doorbell, phone, alarm clock, smoke detector or even weather radio. These products use flashing lights, multi-tone ringers or vibrating devices as a means to alert you. Some popular products in this category include: The Bellman & Symfon Care Home Alerting Solution that provides door and phone notification with a flashing alert ($198); the Silent Call Weather Alert Radio with strobe and bed shaker ($165); and the all-in-one Serene Innovations CentralAlert CA-360 Clock/Receiver Notification System, which provides alarm clock, doorbell, phone, motion and storm warning alerts ($180). To locate these and any other hearing loss products visit Harris Communications (HarrisComm.com, or call 866476-9579), which offers more than 2,000 assistive devices and provides customer support services to assist you. 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.

Modern Downtown Art In Bessemer City
The City of Bessemer City made a casting call for all artist in the surrounding areas to submit art for a chance to be featured in the downtown Centennial Park. Since the park’s renovation in 2016, it has tripled in size and allowed for a mural display. The images painted or photographed created by artists are replicated and placed on the walls of the park at no cost to the artist. The Spring 2017 mural display features many pieces created by local Bessemer City High School students. So the next time your’re downtown in Bessemer City stop into the Centennial Park and view the art along the walls made with local Bessemer City pride.
