‘Liberty Mountain’ cast to begin rehearsals Liberty Mountain: The Quest For Religious Freedom By Robert Inman We’re a week away from starting rehearsals for the fourth season of “Liberty INMAN Mountain” in Kings Mountain, and our thoughts turn to our ancestors who lived the story and shaped the outcome of the American Revolution. They took up arms, and many sacrificed their lives, to defend and preserve the freedoms they held dear, and none was more important to them than religious expression.
To understand how crucial this was to the settlers of the Carolinas, you have to go back to their roots in Northern Ireland. Many were Scots-Irish Presbyterians who fled poverty and misery in that land, compounded by religious persecution. The “official” religion of the British Empire in the 1700’s was the Church of England, and those who didn’t swear allegiance to that church were punished, often brutally. In the American colonies, they saw the opportunity to start a new life, one in which they were free to worship as they pleased. They came here, built homes and farms and churches and raised God-fearing families. But they were still subjects of the British king, and the Crown continued to attempt See REHEARSALS, Page 7A

Teenager and family fighting brain cancer Relay for Life last weekend has special meaning for cancer survivors and for those still fighting the insidious disease. Aaron Evans is a remarkable young man. He is battling Grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma, cancer of the brain, but does that get him down? No, he rides a 4-wheeler, loves everything outdoors, including motor car racing and fishing, and he’s a 9th grade student schooled at home but making good grades. A month before his 14th birthday in 2015, a doctor gave him and his parents, Jennifer and Charles, the word no one wants to hear – the C word. Aaron went through brain surgery twice, a month of radiation and a year of chemotherapy. The treatments were successful until See FIGHTING, Page 7A

Exhibiting “contagious character” is what she calls being enthusiastic, positive and respectful. “I feel that if I model the pillars of good character every day, no matter how challenging that may be, that my students will start to script those traits into their stories and
everyday lives,’’ she says. Santinelli has taught middle grades Math and Science seven years and is back in the classroom three years after being out as a “Mom” with her twin sons, Avery and Eli, who are now 10-year-old 5th graders.

Eagle Scouts honored at Court of Honor Anthony Vagnozzi and Luke Satterfield earned their Eagle Scout at a Court of Honor held at a Court of Honor recently at Central United Methodist Church in Kings Mountain. Anthony Vagnozzi's Eagle Scout project was centered on giving back to our military. He led two workshops at the Mauney Memorial Library teaching others how to make survival bracelets, collecting over 50 pounds of supplies for our men and women in uniform, writing cards and letters, and had an active soldier come out to share how sending these bracelets to the middle east while they are out in the field lets them know someone cares. With Troop 92 and the community they were able to make over 400 survival bracelets to ship overseas. These bracelets can be used in over 50 different ways and can potentially save a soldiers life. Luke Satterfield's Eagle Scout project was focused on installing a new flag

Quote of the week The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
– Ken Blanchard
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who Lib Stewart have died in Managing Editor service of the United States of America. It was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor our dead. Kings Mountain’s community-wide memorial service will be held on Monday at 10 a.m. at Mountain Rest Cemetery where graves in a memorial park in front of the white cross and those graves of other patriots all over the cemetery are marked with American flags. In downtown Kings Mountain at Patriot’s Park the impressive memorial wall and monuments honor World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam service men whom we have loved and lost. The Hughes Family of Kings Mountain sent five ancestors to war. William Hughes fought at the battles of Guilford Court-
house and Yorktown during the American Revolution. This year his descendants hold their annual reunion at the Dixon Presbyterian Church on Sunday, June 4, 2017. Hughes died before photography came to this area. His grave was basically unmarked until Jack and Mark Hughes placed

Pieces of Kings Mountain History In the 1990’s, I learned that my Grandma Finger’s Tennessee family LORETTA had migrated COZART there in 1805 from Lincoln County, NC. So, I began attending the Peter Finger family reunions in Maiden to learn more about my ancestors and the role they played in our local history. Peter Finger took his Oath of Allegiance seriously, as did many German emigrants. His wife was Barbara Reinhardt, daughter of David and sister to Christian. During the reunion, we visited the site of the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill, where many cousins had ancestors who fought. Most of these ancestor connections were through the wives who married into the family. We drove as close as we could to the battlefield and then walked from the Lincolnton High School parking lot up the hill to see the mass burial site. Many men from both sides are buried here. It was humbling to stand upon that land, only to realize how many men lost their lives during that
two-hour battle. This was their final resting place after fighting the British for independence. Many of the survivors went on to fight at the Battle of Kings Mountain less than four months later. That visit had a profound impact and fueled a fire in me to learn more about the men who fought. I might even learn I have a patriot who fought at this battle, since my family was from there. All the men who fought that day were colonists, 1,800 in total. Only 400 were Whigs (Patriots). The remaining 1,400 were Tories (Loyalists) who supported the British Crown. The Patriots won the battle, due to the element of surprise. It was a foggy day and the Tories weren’t aware of the advancing Whigs until it was too late. I’ve researched the names of the men who fought, but can’t find a comprehensive list. So, I may never know how my family participated, if at all. I did learn that the battle began on Christian Reinhart’s farm and then spilled over onto the Ramsour’s Mill property. Thus, the name: Battle of Ramsour’s Mill. I’d like to think Chris-
Reinhardt monument at the site of the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill. tian Reinhardt fought for American Independence, but I may never know. I am comforted in knowing that a school complex sits upon the land he once owned. And, that the battlefield is protected for future generations by the Lincoln County Historical Society. If you’d like to attend the commemoration of the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill, mark your calendar for June 10th. The ceremony
will be held at the FD Jack Kiser School, 301 Jeb Seagle Drive, Lincolnton, NC 28092, beginning at 10:00am. Loretta Cozart grew-up in Kings Mountain and is a member of the Col.

The Unit also contributes its “fair share,’’ set by the state organization, to veterans in the four VA medical centers, and particularly with donations to the VA Medical Center in Asheville where many local veterans go for doctor visits and and to fill prescriptions. The American Legion designated the red poppy as its official flower in 1920.

When British troops occupied the Carolinas and those who were still loyal to the king went on a rampage of murder and mayhem, these Scots-Irish rose up and fought back.

He put that image into words: ‘’ In Flanders Fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row.” That led to the red poppy’s emergence as an international symbol of military sacrifice. Elizabeth Stewart of Kings Mountain, National President of the American Legion Auxiliary 19992000, visited Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial in May 2000, a World War I cemetery on the Southeast edge of the town of Waregem, Belgium and placed a bouquet on the grave of a North Carolina soldier buried there during World War I. While in France where she placed wreaths at numerous American and French cemeteries, she also laid a wreath of poppies at the Arc de Triomphe, a famous monument in Paris.

thousand Loyalists under the command of British major Patrick Ferguson. In seeking to intimidate the western area of the Carolinas, he burned churches, hung Patriots, and threatened to lay waste to their communities. The Patriots were enraged, and when they destroyed Ferguson’s force at Kings Mountain, they were striking a bold blow to ensure their freedoms – including worship – survived in an independent land. That quest for religious freedom is a cornerstone of our play, “Liberty Moun-
tain.” We especially welcome church groups to our performances because we think it’s important for their members to recognize and honor the sacrifices of our ancestors who made today’s America of religious freedom and tolerance possible. “Liberty Mountain” opens June 23 at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain for 17 performances. Information on the play, group rates, and online ticket ordering, is available at our website: www.libertymountaindrama.com and on our Facebook page.

In the meantime, he has enjoyed fishing and his close-knit family which includes his brother, Tavis, 13; and his sisters, Carley, 12, and Keira, 9. Meantime, Jennifer has lobbied the N.C.

of committee which would allow North Carolina citizens to vote on whether or not they want to legalize medical marijuana (cannabis) with a doctor’s prescription. Jennifer said a recent Elon University poll showed 80 percent of North Carolina voters approve of medical marijuana, 73 percent were Republicans. This Mom and others like her are speaking out for a vote legalizing medical marijuana and they urge others to follow them in their appeal to the Legislature to allow the public to have their say.

Following that one sentence of light gave way to more light that enabled me to see the way to numerous other endeavors and projects. Following that light showed me the way that I needed at that time. There is something to this old saying that is true, “Let us not grow weary in doing good. We
will reap a harvest if we don’t quit.” Another truth I have heard is, “Believe in the light while you have the light so that you may become children of light.” I don’t know what you are dealing with today but don’t quit. It’s easier said than done, I know. However, maybe, if you hang in there and keep your head up and your hand stretching out in front of you, then just maybe, you will feel the string dangling in the darkness.

Production is underway for the fourth season of “Liberty Mountain: The Revolutionary Drama” in Kings Mountain. The play will run for 17 performances, beginning June 23, at the Joy Performance Center in downtown Kings Mountain. “Liberty Mountain” tells the story of the settling of the Carolinas by hardy Scots-Irish immigrants who came to America to start new lives, raise families, work and worship, and how they became caught up in the conflict of the struggle for independence from Great Britain. Their story culminates in the Battle of Kings Mountain in October, 1780, which historians agree was the turning point in the Revolution. In an hour of savage hand-to-hand combat, Patriot militiamen defeated a larger and better-trained force of Loyalists, triggering a series of Patriot victories that led to the British surrender at Yorktown a year later. “Liberty Mountain” fea-
tures a cast of more than 30 actors in a fast-moving, action-packed drama. Playwright Robert Inman says, “The talented cast and crew bring our audience a production that is true to history, highly entertaining, and inspiring. Every American should know the story of Kings Mountain and the crucial role it played in granting us the freedoms we enjoy today.” Director Caleb Sigmon has been guiding “Liberty Mountain” since its premier in 2014. He says, “We use the entire auditorium to bring the story to life. We immerse the audience in the action. It’s great entertainment for the entire family.” The play incorporates authentic weapons and costumes. Information on “Liberty Mountain” is available on the production’s website: www.libertymountaindrama.com, including performance dates and times and online ticket ordering, and on the play’s Facebook page. Group ticket rates are available.
Wendy Isbell Installed Garden Club President Town and Country Garden Club met on May 11, 2017, at the home of Brenda Sipe. The club collect was used as a devotional before the meal. Mrs. Sipe served the members chicken pasta and pineapple casserole with strawberry delight for dessert. Connie Bell, club president, called the meeting to order. Susan Gibson gave the treasurer’s report and the minutes were accepted as information. Plans were made for the post office planters. Discussion was given to visit a day lily farm or a trip to Lake Lure to see the Flowering Bridge. Many of the members have the Confederate Rose in their gardens. Lou Ballew gave a very interesting report about the Confederate Rose. Once upon a time, it was believed that the Confederate Rose was pure white. During the Civil War, a soldier was fatally wounded in battle. He fell upon the rose as he lay dying. During the course of the two days he took to die, he bled more and more on the flower, until at last the bloom was covered with his blood. When he died, the flower died with him. Thereafter, the Confederate Rose or Cotton Rose, opens white and over the course of the two days the bloom lasts, they turn gradually from white to pink to almost red. Then the flower falls from the bush.
The Confederate Rose or hibiscus mutablis is actually a Chinese import. It was brought into English gardens in the 1600’s. It gained favor in the South due to its ease of cultivation during the hard financial times after the Civil War. The Confederate Rose is a member of the family that includes the tropical hibiscus and the Rose of Sharon .It is a large bush or a small multi-stemmed tree. The plant roots easily from cuttings, has few pests and grows vigorously during the summer. Once established, it is drought resistant. The blooms appear in the fall. Lou Ballew installed the new officers for 2017 – 2018, She told the members that the new officers were like angels. Angels lead like the president, have a back-up like a vice-president, can count and manage money like the treasurer, and keep records of the meetings like the secretary does. The new officers are Wendy Isbell, president; Connie Bell, vice-president; Susan Gibson, treasurer; and Glenda Crawford, secretary. The meeting was adjourned. Members exchanged plants with each other. Our gardens will pop with color from plants shared by the members.

CCC SPEAKER – Ayala Cuevas spoke about his transformation from a high school student who did only the minimum of work required into a college student who wanted more in his commencement address to his fellow graduates of Cleveland Community College.
Commencement at CCC May 10 featured area student speakers More than 500 students were awarded more than 700 credentials, including degrees, diplomas or certificates at commencement exercises last Wednesday at Cleveland Community College. Commencement speakers and fellow graduates Edly Rachel Massanga and Erik Ayala Cuevas told their stories of the challenges and rewards of time spent in college. Massanga, who was born in the United States but grew up in Haiti, spoke about her experiences growing up and the challenges of moving to the U. S. without her immediate family as a teenager.

Albemarle Corporation and its predecessors have been operating in Kings Mountain since the 1930s. Continued investment in Kings Mountain operations shows the value and dedication the company has in the Kings Mountain community.. Albemarle acquired the Kings Mountain site when the company completed the acquisition of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. in January 2015. Lithium mining operations at the site shut down in 1985. Since that time the facility has been used as a production and processing site that supports Albemarle’s global lithium operations. Over the past five year Albemarle has upgraded the site to a modern and state of the art production facility. As of today approximately 150 employees work at the 720 acre site. Our global team is proud to help drive one of today’s fastest-growing specialty chemicals markets – and A spokesman for the company
said, “We value both the opportunity and responsibility that come with it. Albemarle is proud to have adopted a stewardship position for our lithium operations that celebrates environmental sustainability, community betterment and corporate responsibility’’ The Albemarle Foundation has designated over $150,000 to be donated in the Kings Mountain community and recently announced a $50,000 grant that was awarded to The Children’s Homes of Cleveland County. Lithium is a critical component of the significant technological evolution our planet is undergoing. Without lithium, the remarkable changes in how we power travel, how we power the tools that support our busy lives, and the promise of cleaner air would not be possible. The Kings Mountain operations are a key component of Albemarle’s strategy to deliver lithium products that power this change.
