Pastor’s Cuba Trip was ‘Lifechanging’ ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
His recent trip to Cuba “was life changing” for Dr. Jonathan Bundon, Worship Pastor at First Baptist Church for the past 10 years. Jonathan said he hopes as the embargo is lifted that the Cuban people will remain strong to share the gospel and with all the new technology to distract them he prays they will be diligent in their memorization of scripture, study and teaching of music and continue to reach others through music. Bundon said “The Cuban people are loving, gracious and welcoming wherever we went and we were blessed by each encounter and ministry opportunity.” The Kings Mountain man is a member of the prestigious national vocal ensemble, The Centurymen, an auditioned men's chorus of 100 professional Baptist musicians from across the United States. Annually, the chorus tours nationally and internationally including Europe, Russia, the People's Republic of China, Greece,

City residents will find no increases for cemetery lots and opening and closing of graves in the proposed city budget. Their rates will remain the same: $350 for a lot and $375 for closing of graves. City Manager Marilyn Sellers said there was a typographical error in the proposed budget presented to the media at the recent work session. “Our citizens pay city taxes and the burden on customers outside the city limits is due to limited space for city residents and additional property anticipated to be needed within the next five years.” Proposed increases for outside residents are: $3,000 for a plot ( from $1750) and $3,000 for opening and closing of
graves ( from $530) For inside-city residents the proposed budget includes a 3 cent property tax increase ( from 40 cents to 43 cents per $100 valuation); sanitation fee increase from $7.63 to $9.54 per month; reycling fee increase from $2 to $2.75; and basic facility rate for natural gas, from $6.50 to $7.50. Public hearing on the budget is scheduled for Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 6 p.m. at city hall. The proposed budget can be viewed in full at City Hall and at Mauney Memorial Library, 100 S. Piedmont Avenue. City council will vote on adoption of the budget on June 16. The public is invited.

Market has variety on Thursday nights The Foothills Farmers Market continues every Thursday from 4-7 p.m. at Patriots Park downtown. See Nancy Fichter's column in The Herald for what you can expect to find a variety of foodstuffs to serve your family. Music at the Farmers Market Thursday will feature ''Jack Pearson and the Dangerous Wheel'' with
cool 70s tunes with assorted local talent,''The Fultons'' with their beautiful blend of bluegrass and old timey country, why “they're just silly with it” and Kat Carpenter with sweet vocals of current country and top 40 hits. Haley Wilson, Events Coordinator for the City of Kings Mountain, said she would like to thank RPM
Music for providing the “Produce Music” series on Thursday evenings at the Market. Last Thursday, the music at the market was kicked off by local crooner Austin Willis, the sweet guitar stylings of Tanner Collins and all topped off with the incredible KM Middle School Band performing for the first “Produce Music.”

Community Garden at Disney Recently, the City of Kings Mountain donated three truckloads of compost to enrich the soil for Disney’s Kings Mountain Technology Center community garden. Lance Strange and David Smith, both city employees, donated their time to work in the garden which is nearly half an acre. The produce raised is donated to the Kings Mountain Farmers Food Share program
to feed the hungry in Kings Mountain. This is the third consecutive year for this effort. Past years have netted a total of over 1,250 pounds of fresh produce donated to our community. This year, they hope to donate even more than last year’s garden, which produced about 750 pounds of vegetables, and they are off to a good start this year, having already donated 45 pounds of
produce. KMTC staff would like to extend their sincere thanks to the City of Kings Mountain Department of Public Works, Sunbelt Equipment Rental for donating the use of equipment, and a special thank you to good neighbor, Bridges True Value Hardware, for their continued support with a very generous donation of seed, seedlings, and fertilizer.

receive diplomas June 3 Twelve students graduated from Bolin's Day Care Inc. Friday night, June 3, at First Wesleyan Church. The commencement program included songs,
skits, nursery rhymes, a video and presentation of diplomas to the four-yearolds by Phyllis Weaver, teacher. Twenty or more from

Barrick returning to Ethiopia Kevin Barrick discovered his identity in Ethiopia. “I found myself as more of a helper-type personality when I first went to Ethiopia two years ago with ''Unforgotten Faces,'' said the Kings Mountain man who is returning this summer to officially begin his life as an English teacher to students of a different language. Barrick said he started with 'Unforgotten Faces' as a general walk-around tutor
but once he got the language under his belt he began to take classes in which the kids learned either reading, early phonics or basic grammar and conversational English. He teaches English but will also tutor students in math. ''If a child can learn English now while he or she is in school, then university will be that much easier and finding a good job will be
almost endless. Then their lives in the future will be fruitful,'' he says. Barrick plans to create a teaching atmosphere in which children can learn. He said English in a developing country is a very marketable skill and he will master the language barrier as he has spent time with his sponsor kid and has become part of a family, learning the language and culture while living with them.
Kevin Barrick is pictured with one of his students in Ethiopia.

■ MEDITATION
What are you afraid of? (4 Part Series - Part 2) If you are just now joining us in the series, this is the second part of the series dealing with fear. For my wife and I, this is now week two of “Tooth Watch 2016.” DR. JONATHAN M. BUNDON My son’s loose Worship Pastor tooth remains First Baptist Church firmly in place as does his resolve to never pull it. His fear, however, has lessened. My wife and I empathized with my son’s situation/anxiety, and encouraged him to overcome his fear. We all need encouragement to overcome fear. With this in mind, the Bible gives us several verses dealing with fear, stress, and anxiety.
The apostle Paul boldly declares: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 Wait, What? What is Paul saying here? Can we lift cars over our heads? Can we jump over buildings? Paul’s encouragement to us is not one of superhuman hopefulness, but of endurance. Remember, Paul was in prison suffering for the cause of Christ when he wrote this letter. With this in mind, it is important to look at the surrounding verses to help us more fully understand Paul’s context. Paul says “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” It is import-
ant to note Paul doesn’t deny the reality of his dismal circumstance, yet he understands what it means to be content to live in both time of plenty or want. Paul’s trust in God does not lessen based on his circumstance, but remains faithful. If we think in terms of marriage vows, the phrase “to love and honor, in sickness and in health” would be a good correlation. Paul wasn’t boasting about his abilities to overcome or sustain, but rather God’s. Paul realizes God strengthens him to endure whatever hardships may come. In the same way, those who are found in Christ can take comfort. You may not have the ability to change your current situation, but you do have the strength to endure through Christ our Lord.

CUBA TRIP: was ‘Lifechanging’
Jonathan Bundon, above and with musicians below. From Page 1A to more than 15 countries abroad, they were able to perform in concert halls in Cuba in which the Gospel could not be preached – but could be sung. This Grammy and Dove- nominated group is sought after for concerts and special appearances. NBC News called the Centurymen “the finest male chorus in America.” Jonathan and his father, Mike, are one of only two father/son teams in the men's chorus. The Centurymen performed 17 concerts in 10 days and at every concert they displayed the lyrics in Spanish so the people would be able to better understand. Each performance was more than a concert, it was an evangelistic worship service. They taught at two seminaries and several churches multiple classes on music (theory, voice, conducting) and biblical worship. They distributed over 4,100 Bibles, donated several musical instruments and saw over 100 people make first time decisions for Christ.
Havana, Cuba was KM man’s destination.
Jonathan gave out 145 harmonicas and the group gave out 4,100 tote bags with programs and Bibles. Additionally, the Centurymen were given special permission to sing in famous concert halls that never allowed any religious group to perform up to that point. Jonathan said that every concert was beyond seating capacity. The Cuban people love music with 20 percent of the population employed in some manner of musical arts, he said. The youth loved the harmonicas which Jonathan was able to pack carefully to pass customs inspections. He played several numbers and he said the teenagers were
especially delighted with the gifts and Jonathan taught them how to play. Jonathan observed a mix of poverty and prosperity. Cars are extremely expensive and many vehicles in Havana were maintained only for tourist purposes. He witnessed how the vast majority of Cubans really lived. Their lifestyle was quite austere with food being the hottest commodity. “I experienced, however, great hope for the hopeless,'' he said, adding that the churches in Cuba are active in missions, discipleship and ministry throughout the country. Jonathan said he was blessed to encounter the people of Cuba, build relationships and witness
Crowds in Cuba filled concert halls. the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He came home with only the clothes on his back because he had given everything he carried on the trip to the needy in Cuba. The Centurymen
2017 tour will take them to Washington, DC. In 2018 they plan to record in Nashville, Tennessee and in 2019 they will celebrate their 50th anniversary tour. “Christ smashes racial, socioeconomic and cul-
tural barriers,'' says the minister who used music and the harmonica in Cuba as a tool to further God's kingdom. He came home challenged to pursue his craft of music and theology even more so.

BEATING: the Odds From Page 1A His Mom says that only boys are afflicted with this form of MD, sometimes from heredity and sometimes spontaneous. She said her son's affliction was spontaneous. Brady can't run, jump or skip but he can walk short distances. Although he is never in school for a full week because of trips twice a week for physical therapy and for weekly infusions at Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, he makes A's and B's on his school work and will be a high school sophomore next year. A new motorized wheelchair enables him to stand up at eye level in the classroom. He loves electronic and computer games and applications. One of his favorite
things to do is attending MD Camp every summer and this year Kings Mountain Fire Department and Kangaroo Express provided $800 for Brady's week at camp and extra money for at least six other boys to go to camp one week in August. “I am so excited,'' he told local firemen who were out on the streets last Thursday for a Fill the Boot Drive for Brady and other MD patients. Kangaroo Express is still raising funds and have already raised $480 for six teens to attend the week of summer camp in York, SC. Brady comes from a close knit family: his parents, Billy and Martha Williams; his Grammy Pat Nivens, his grandparents Kay and Dick Barker and his younger brother, Blake Williams.

Concession stand work should begin this week The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club is still $43,000 short of its $265,000 goal to build a new concession stand/restroom facility between John Gamble Stadium and Lancaster Field, but President David Brinkley says if the weather cooperates work on the new facility should begin this week. The Touchdown Club is still seeking pledges and/ or contributions so the concession stand can be fully funded and be up and running in time for the Mountaineers’ first home football
game in August. Pledges can be made over a two-year period (the rest of this year and all of 2017). “We’re hoping people will keep responding (to the club’s plea of having 100 persons pledge $500), but we plan to go ahead and get going this week,” Brinkley said. “We hope to get the footings poured and get started on the ground floor by Friday.” On Tuesday, the club plans to begin work on a retaining wall which will allow for a visitor’s bull-
pen to be placed outside the right field foul line. “Our goal is to have everything done by the first football game,” he said. “We hope Mother Nature stays good to us. We have all the block ready. Hopefully we can put the plumbing in place next week. We’re hoping to get a big response from the public and have some parents and grandparents help us out.” The building will be used for many sports and other school system activities such as graduation. The concession stand will allow

Football workouts to begin Monday
KM’s Skidmore to participate in all-star game Kings Mountain’s Jacob Skidmore has been selected to play for the West in the annual East-West All-Star Basketball game at 8:30 p.m. July 18 at the Greensboro Coliseum. Skidmore is the second Mountaineer men’s basketball player in the past three years and the sixth all-time to be selected to the team. Skidmore, who has signed to play for the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears next season, helped lead Grayson Pierce’s Mountaineers to the South Mountain Athletic Conference championship this season. Skidmore led the Mountaineers in scoring with a 17.2 points per game av-
erage. He averaged 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.1 steals and 3.5 blocks per game. “Jacob is a special talent,” noted Coach Pierce. “He is a matchup nightmare for teams. “Jacob has worked really hard to get where he is today. He has worked every day to earn this selection and his scholarship to Lenoir Rhyne. “He is a coach’s dream,” Pierce added. “He is one of those players that plays with a chip on his shoulder each time he steps on the floor. He does the little things like taking charges and diving on the floor for the ball.”

Will Wilson leads off the bottom of the first inning with a home run to help Kings Mountain beat Gastonia Post 23 Tuesday night at Lancaster Field.
Four-run eighth lifts Post 155 over Gastonia Kings Mountain scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to defeat Gastonia Post 23 7-5 for its first Area IV victory Tuesday night at KM’s Lancaster Field. Post 155 trailed 5-3 going into the inning but collected five of its 14 hits after having mostly silent bats in its opening losses to Mooresville and the Gaston Braves. Jacob Nixon and Carson Bailey got things going with back-to-back hits, but things looked a little bleak when the next two hitters struck out. Will Wilson, whose leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning had given Post 155 its only lead of the night, ripped a hard shot down the left field line to cut the Gastonia lead to 5-4. With runners on second and third, Matt Absher singled to left to bring Bailey home with the tying run; and when the throw to the plate got past the Gastonia catcher Wilson hustled home with what would be the winning run.
Alec Seaward pitches against Gaston Post 23 in last week’s Area IV game at Lancaster Field. Brandon Bell took out an insurance policy with a RBI single to center to account for the final tally. Bessemer City product Donnell Mitchell came on in the top of the ninth to nail down the win. Bailey, who had entered the game in the top of the seventh with the host team trailing 5-2, got the win. Alec Seaward
started for Post 155 and retired the visitors in order in the first before Wilson’s homer put the KM team on top. But Gastonia took advantage of a walk, wild pitch and three hits to take a 3-1 lead in the second. Matt Absher came on in the top of the third and kept Post 23 at bay until the fifth, when Jason Odom’s RBI

left field fence, but Absher settled down to retire the next three batters. Bailey came on in the seventh to retire Post 23 in order, thanks to Will Wilson’s remarkable snag of a shot off the bat of Dylan Rex into the left field grass and strong throw to first for the first out. Kings Mountain narrowed the margin to 5-3 in
the bottom of the seventh as Wilson singled, stole second and scored on a single by Tyler Swift. Gastonia loaded the bases in the eighth on a single, wild pitch third strike and hit batsman, but Bailey coaxed a pop-up to first to end the inning. Wilson and Absher led the KM hitting with three hits each. Bailey and Nixon had two each and Hunter Cash, Swift, Bell and Sellers added one apiece.

Panthers Play 60 Camp opens for kids June 28 Carolina Panthers Play 60 Camp will bring the excitement and experience of an NFL training June 28 at 9 a.m. to Kings Mountain High School. Registration for the camp will be conducted at Kings Mountain Family YMCA. Call Amanda Little at 704-739-9631. The grassroots camp is designed for children ages 8 to 14. It is a non-contact camp and the eight stations operate simultaneously. The clinic can accom-
modate up to 200 kids and lasts two hours. Elementary and/or middle schools, youth organizations, YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, Boy/Girl Scouts, after school programs, church/civic groups, etc. and youth football leagues are logical fits for the camp. However, the simplicity and mobility of the camp allow it to be incorporated into virtually any controlled environment where there is space for kids to play football.
The camp is an effort to increase interest in team sports and inspire a healthy and active lifestyle. The non-contact camp features eight stations, which focus on keeping kids active while also incorporating football position techniques. Each camp contains a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, linebacker, special teams and other stations that focus on game-like skills. Junior sized footballs, pop-up dummies, cones, high-knee
ladders and step-over dummies are utilized to present the authentic feel of a real NFL training camp. The free non-contact camp serves as an outdoor classroom which demonstrates kid’s football drills and essential life skills such as teamwork, respect, self-confidence, sportsmanship, discipline and encouragement. The event is closed to the public. No Panther players will be in attendance.

Tales from the Farmer Market The Foothills Farmers’ Market in Kings Mountain opened on Thursday June 2nd with a thunderous light show from the heavens, sidewalk chalk art from a Van Gogh contemporary and a glowing performance of ‘Fly Me to the Moon” from a modern day Sinatra. The entertainment value alone was worth the effort of leaving our air conditioning behind and entering a foodie’s paradise. People strolled the grassy knoll of Patriots Park, as if they were interacting with living art
Nancy Fichter as they took in the sights, smells, and feel of fresh local produce, baked goods, plants, and hand crafted items. Each vendor beautifully displaying their
products, enticing each patron like Alibaba and the 40 thieves caves of riches. Before I close, I want to thank the KM middle school band for coming and giving a stellar performance under the Gazebo. And all the children both young and old for coming out to play in the splash pad, plant a chia pet with Mauney Memorial Library, and creating wonderful memories on a hot summer night. Please join us next Thursday June 9th at 4pm.
GRANT TO GROVER SCHOOL – Eaton Corporation employees, staff and students of Grover Elementary School received a grant to be used to improve literacy in the amount of $7,455. “Our school greatly appreciates the partnership with Eaton Corporation,'' said Principal Dr. Janet Anthony.

Hands-on project helps give chickens a home
win BIG
Laurel and Enoch Gordon, 4-H club members, get their chickens ready for their new home thanks to the help provided by Lowe's Hardware and Kings Mountain High School Carpentry Class. Cleveland County 4-H and Kings Mountain High School youth have collaborated on a project that offers both hands-on learning and opportunities to teach each other. This is a youth helping youth project that has benefitted both the Cleveland County 4-H Backyard Poultry participants and the Kings Mountain High School Carpentry classes. With the assistance of Lowes Hardware of Shelby, Cleveland County 4-H was able to purchase enough supplies to build 8 chicken coops for 4-H members interested raising chickens. Some of the members have worked through the 4-H Embryology curriculum and hatched their own chicks for the project. After purchasing coop supplies, the program was in need of expertise to build the coops. This help came in the form of other youth in the county interested in helping and sharing their skills.

Cleveland County 4-H Agent Wendy Turbyfill contacted Kings Mountain High School Carpentry Teacher Daniel Blanton with a proposal to work together on this project. "Mr. Blanton and his students were extremely helpful and eager to assist us with this project," said Turbyfill. "With their help, we have chickens moving into their permanent homes and youth continuing to learn life skills through our program and this new opportunity." At the same time, the Carpentry students were provided with additional project work for developing their skills and learning to apply methods taught in their class. This program has provided opportunities to youth who may not have otherwise had the ability to raise their own animals and develop interest in livestock. At the same time, it has helped students be able to apply the skills they have learned in the classroom. It has also fostered a relationship of teamwork, sharing, contributing to group effort and cooperation - priceless skills preparing the next generation to be responsible and helpful citizens.

The New MIND Diet May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that there’s a new diet that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. What can you tell me about this? My 80-year-old mother has Alzheimer’s and I want to do everything I can to protect myself. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, It’s true! Research has found that a new diet plan – called the MIND diet – can have a profound impact on your brain health as you age, and can even lower your odds of getting Alzheimer’s disease. The MIND diet takes two proven diets – the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet and the blood-pressure lowering DASH diet – and zeroes in on the foods in each that specifically affect brain health. The MIND diet, which stands for “Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay,” was developed by Martha Clare Morris, a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University Medical Center, through a
study funded by the National Institute on Aging. The study followed the diets of nearly 1,000 elderly adults, who filled out food questionnaires and underwent repeated neurological testing for an average of 4.5 years. It found participants whose diets most closely followed the MIND recommendations had brains that functioned as if they were 7.5 years younger, and it lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by as much as 53 percent. And even those who didn’t stick to the diet perfectly but followed it moderately well reduced their risk of Alzheimer’s by 35 percent. The MIND Menu The MIND diet has 15 dietary components. The emphasis is on eating from 10 brain-healthy food groups, and limiting foods from five unhealthy groups. Here’s a rundown of the healthy foods you should work into your diet: • Green leafy vegetables (like spinach and salad greens): Eat at least
one serving per day. • Other vegetables: At least one other vegetable a day. • Whole grains: Three or more servings a day. • Nuts: Five one-ounce servings a week. • Beans: At least three servings a week. • Berries: Two or more servings a week. • Fish: Once a week. • Poultry (not fried): Two times a week. • Olive oil: Use it as your primary cooking oil. • Wine: One glass a day. And the five unhealthy food groups you should limit include: • Red meat: Eat fewer than four servings a week. • Butter and margarine: Less than a tablespoon daily. • Cheese: Less than one serving a week. • Pastries and sweets: Less than five servings a week. • Fried or fast food: Less than one serving a week.
Other Benefits One of the best things about the MIND diet is that it’s easer to follow than most other diets and you don’t have to stick to it perfectly to gain the benefits, which makes it more likely you’ll follow it for a long time. And the longer you eat the MIND way, the lower the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Another advantage is that the MIND diet can help you lose some weight too, if you keep your portions in check and are careful about how the food is prepared. It’s also important to understand that even though diet plays a big role, it’s only one aspect of Alzheimer’s disease. So get regular exercise, if you smoke, quit, and learn how manage your stress to lower your risk even more. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
