Actors Assemble for “Liberty Mountain” Summer Production by Caleb Ryan Sigmon Mounting a production of this scale is overwhelmingly exciting and challenging. But at the heart of it, the goal is to share our story and impact audiences. Theatre is one of the most enlivening forms of storytelling. It is a personal experience that is shared by everyone. For the audience, they have a ringside seat to the action. You can smell the gunpowder, see the sweat on actors’ faces, and sometimes get so caught up that you laugh, cry or even hold your breath. You find yourself involved in the story. For the actor, it is like walking on a tightrope, except this tightrope has no net to catch them if they fall. Different from film work, we can’t stop and redo anything. There are no second takes. The actor must leave their best work on the stage. Auditions were held in the beginning of 2015 to find the perfect cast for our summer run, lasting for almost two months. This included in-person auditions as well as online video submissions, phone and Skype interviews. We saw an incredible amount of local talent, including some performers from last year’s sold-out run. Also for this season, we received a large interest from college drama students and profes-
sional actors from across the southeast. In addition to our stellar group of “returners” from the premiere performance, we are hosting actors from Greensboro, Charlotte, Lincolnton, Raleigh, Wilmington, Hickory, Boone, and beyond. Rehearsals will begin this upcoming weekend, and promising to provide a rigorous and challenging experience. With only three weeks to put the epic drama together, we will collectively be working every day until Opening Night on June 26th. During this time, we will be staging every scene in the show, creating and learning the choreography for each fight scene (including the larger-than-life Battle of Kings Mountain), finishing details on scenery, cleaning weaponry, building props and fitting/finalizing costume pieces in our shop. A lot has to happen! Our first Company Meeting will take place at Kings Mountain National Military Park. We will be getting
their feet on the ground of the battlefield and immersing them into the rich history of our story. Our desire is for each person on stage to feel connected to what happened back in 1780. We want to bring it to life in a powerful way. We want you to experience history, and America, like never before! We promise to keep you on the edge of your seat. The show opens on June 26th and will play every weekend until July 19th. Tickets are available online and are selling quickly. You can secure your seats today, See specific show dates and times, as well as get behind-the-scenes info at: www.KMLibertyMountain.com Caleb Ryan Sigmon is t he Artistic and Fight Director for “Liberty Mountain – The Revolutionary Drama” by Playwright Robert Inman.

City of Kings Mountain steps in Human Trafficking to aid two ospreys at Moss Lake seminar, Friday When city workers noticed two ospreys building a nest atop a utility pole located at Moss Lake last week, they sprung into action to try to protect the birds of prey. In a clever turn, city officials figured that if the ospreys – a large raptor that feeds mostly on fish – were attracted to the top of a live utility pole perched 45 feet high in the air, they would give them one just like it nearby. Just minus the dangerous voltage. So city workers set out to plant in the ground a regular utility pole a few dozen yards away. And they went the extra mile of building a four foot by four foot wooden platform that they reasoned would be a suitable nesting base for the big birds which can grow to about two feet in length and have a wingspan as long as
six feet. They are often referred to as river hawks. “You’ll find that a lot of utilities actually do this to protect certain species of birds,” said Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey, adding that city workers have continued to monitor the actions of the ospreys at that location. “I think we got there just in time to save them from building in that dangerous spot. Now they have a little condo that should keep them safe.” Ospreys are migratory and these days are commonly found along the East Coast, especially near oceans and estuaries. Although their populations were sharply threatened in the 1950s and 1960s, even to the point of being placed on the Endangered Species List, the species has made a comeback since the pesticide DDT was banned in the
1970s. Today they are found on every continent except Antarctica. “We just wanted to help these beautiful birds in any
way we could,” Murphrey said.
Allysa McKenzie, representing 'Stand Against Human Trafficking,'' will be in Kings Mountain F riday and Saturday in a program, a human trafficking abolitionist seminar, open and free to the public, at East Gold Street Wesleyan Church. A video presentation in the church sanctuary is on
Friday from 6-9 p.m. A free training session will be conducted by McKenzie on Saturday morning from 9 a.m.-12 noon. A training manual (optional) is available for $25. “Our conscience cannot ignore the travesty of human trafficking.'' says McKenzie.

Tables in the fellowship building were decorated with snapshots and memorabilia recognizing the long ministry of the couple and the several states they were active in ministry. A large crowd attended the bon voyage party which included cake, punch, fruit and party pickups.
Mayor Rick Murphrey joins other city workers as a utility pole is erected at Moss Lake last week. Officials installed the non-electrified utility pole with a platform that they hope will be attractive to ospreys that have been seen trying to build a nest on an actual utility pole at a nearby spot.

LIBRARY: summer program kicks off Monday From Page 1
that’s guaranteed to be anything but dull. Called “Bam! Pow! Read!” this summer’s free programs cover lots of ground – and lots of topics – in an effort to get kids off the couch and physically and intellectually active. It runs from Monday through July 22, with a little break built in right after July 4. “The reason we put together such a robust summer reading program is to combat summer slide,” said library director Sharon Stack. “If children are just sitting at home and not engaged, they turn their brains off. The whole point is to make reading fun. We’re going to give them a broad range of cultural subjects to stimulate their senses. The aim is to keep kids thinking during the summer months, when school is out and brains are in danger of shutting down a little. When they head back to school in the fall, the thinking is teachers won’t have to spent much
in National Register The Post Office is significant as one of the many necessary buildings built throughout the nation u under the Federal Works Agency, as part of the New Deal public works programs which were created by the FDR administration in response to the Great Depression. The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation.
time catching them up. “Summer slide can happen across all socio-ecomic categories,” Stack said. “There’s research behind it. It shows that kids who read 20 minutes a day are able to start school ready to learn.” Kids this summer will have ample opportunities to learn about lots of fun subjects – including a program on “Superlicious Sweets and Other Daring Foods” to the works of children’s author Hans Christian Anderson, two programs by Caleb Sigmon, an illusionist and the director of “Liberty Mountain: A Revolutionary Drama.” And every Wednesday features an ever-popular showing of “Judy’s Wild Science” at 11 a.m. Here kids can dive into a variety of fun and hands-on science activities that are geared to get them thinking about how the world works. “Bam! Pow! Read!” also offers programs on animation, a Super Hero Murder Mystery, art journaling and a career fair aimed at the younger set that explores re-
al-life jobs like police officers, firefighters, emergency responders and park rangers. The library has also partnered with many other organizations to give this year’s Summer Reading Program as much breadth as possible. There’s the Dive-In Movies at the YMCA that begins June 19. There participants can have a snack, a swim and take in a fun family movie. More Dive-Ins are scheduled for later in June and July. On Tuesday, June 30, the Summer Reading Program lands at downtown coffeeshop J. Oliver’s for a Evening Encore storytime by Lynn Hickernell that also features singing. Looking for treasure, curious children will be able to pan for gold and learn about the minerals in our area at KM Gem and Mining on Thursday, June 18. On Wednesday, June 17, participants will team up with the Southern Arts Society at the depot to jump into an intro course in journal binding. And the reading program will be making two stops at

■ MEDITATION Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” but does not obey his Josh Tucker commandments, Pastor is a liar, and in St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church such a person the truth does not exist; but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked. (1 John 2:3-6) Grace to you and peace in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Think about how you might get to
■ CHURCH BRIEFS know someone – a new friend or coworker, a neighbor or future spouse. Think about how much time and energy is invested in learning about the other person’s likes and dislikes, their history and their goals. Really getting to know someone requires an openness to connect with them on a personal level so that common interests might be discovered. As you get to know someone and a connection is made, it is likely that a relationship is established. We read in the Scriptures Jesus invites us into a relationship with him. Jesus invites us, just as he did with his first disciples, to come and follow him, to learn from him and to be his disciples in the world. Jesus invites us into a relationship with him so that we may carry on the good news of the gospel throughout the entire world. This passage from 1 John talks about how we come to know Jesus. This passage answers the question,
“how do you get to know someone?” The author of 1 John says that we are sure to know Jesus if we obey his commandments. That, in being obedient to God the Father and in learning from his only son Jesus Christ, we come to know him, personally. Getting to know Jesus in this way, following him in this way, in obeying his commandments and becoming his true disciples, we experience the true and perfect love God has for us. Getting to know Jesus, our Lord, our Savior, and our teacher is vital to our faith. As we get to know him, we become consumed with a passion and a will to do just as Jesus does – to love as he does, to teach and preach as he does, to sacrifice as he does. As we get to know Jesus and abide in him, the last verse of today’s passage holds true, we “walk just as he walked.” I want you to know Jesus and I want you to walk just as he walked.

Roper joins City of KM Boiling Springs teen places 3rd in Soul vocals as Zoning Administrator Olivia-Claire Wall, 11, from Boiling Springs, competed and placed 3rd in the 12 and under division of the Mountain Soul Vocal Competition on May 16, 2015 in Sevierville, TN singing 'All I Can Do.' Olivia-Claire is a 6th grader at Crest Middle School and the daughter of John and Holly Wall. She is Grand-daughter of Dan and Susan Denton of Kings Mountain, NC and Glenn and Sue Wall of Salisbury, NC. Olivia-Claire has been a Dolly Parton fan from the young age of 3. She was very excited that Dolly’s sister, Cassie, was one of the three judges. The Mountain Soul Vocal Competition is a unique competition that honors the songwriting of Sevierville native Dolly Parton by encouraging contestants from across the nation to sing one of the more than 3,000 songs she has penned — in his or her own vocal style.

Choosing a Home Blood Pressure Monitor Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer me any tips on choosing a home blood pressure monitor? I just found out I have high blood pressure, and my doctor told me I need a monitor for the house so I can keep an eye on it. Shopping Around Dear Shopping, Almost everyone with high blood pressure or prehypertension should have a home blood pressure monitor. Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure in a comfortable setting. Plus, if you’re taking medication it will make certain it’s working, and alert you to a health problem if it arises. Here are some tips to help you choose a good monitor. Types of Monitors The two most popular types of home blood pressure monitors on the market today are (electric and/or battery powered) automatic arm monitors, and automatic wrist monitors. With an automatic arm monitor, you simply wrap the cuff around your bicep and with the push of one button the cuff inflates and deflates automatically
giving you your blood pressure reading on the display window in a matter of seconds. Wrist monitors work similarly, except they attach to the wrist. Wrist monitors are also smaller in size and a bit more comfortable to use than the arm monitors, but they tend to be a little less accurate. To help you choose the best monitor for you, here are several things you need to check into: • Fit: Using a cuff that’s the wrong size can result in a bad reading. Most arm models have two sizes or an adjustable cuff that fits most people. Make sure your choice fits the circumference of your upper arm. • Accuracy: Check the packaging to make sure the monitor has been independently tested and validated for accuracy and reliability. You can see a list of validated monitors at dableducational.org. • Ease of use: Be sure the display on the monitor is easy to read and understand, and that the buttons are big enough. The directions for applying the cuff and operating the monitor should
be clear. • Extra features: Many monitors come with additional features such as irregular heartbeat detection that checks for arrhythmias and other abnormalities; a risk category indicator that tells you whether your blood pressure is in the high range; a data-averaging function that allows you to take multiple readings and get an overall average; multiple user memory that allows two or more users to save previous readings; and computer connections so you can download the data to your computer. • Portability: If you plan to take your monitor with you while traveling, look for one with a carrying case. Where to Shop You can find blood pressure monitors at pharmacies, medical supply stores or online, and you don’t need a prescription to buy one. The price will typically range anywhere from $30 to $120 or more. Unfortunately, original Medicare does not pay for home blood pressure monitors unless you’re receiving dialysis at home. But if you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a private health insurance policy
it’s worth checking into, because some plans may provide coverage. Some of the best arm monitors as recently recommended by Consumer Reports include the Rite Aid Deluxe Automatic BP3AR1-4DRITE; iHealth Dock BP3 (requires an Apple iOS device); Omron 10 Series BP786; A&D Medical UA767F; and the ReliOn BP200. And the top recommended wrist monitor is the Omron 7 Series BP652. After you buy a monitor, it’s a good idea to take it to your doctor’s office so they can check its accuracy and teach you the proper techniques of how and when to use it. For more information on how to measure your blood pressure accurately at home, see the American Heart Association Blood Pressure Monitoring tutorial page at homeBPmonitoring.org.

Volunteers needed for 'Liberty Mountain Some 250 front-ofthe-house volunteers are needed for “Liberty Mountain,'' which opens June 26 at the Joy Theatre and continues through July 19 - four weekends of performances. Volunteers serve as ushers, take tickets, sell concessions, run the gift shop and generally do anything from the front of the stage to the front doors of the theatre. “We see them as good will ambassadors for Kings Mountain,''says Jim Champion of Kings Moutnain Little Theatre. Volunteers are asked to dress in black and white, if
possible. KMLT or “Liberty Mountain'' logo shirts are also recommended with black slacks, capris, skirts, but no short shorts. If you don't have black pants, wear khaki pants. Volunteers gather before the doors to the theatre open, by 6 p.m. for evening shows and by 1:30 for matinee shows, to help set up concessions and the gift shop, put out playbills and be trained on the duties they are expected to perform. A house manager handles any issues that arise and helps out where needed, among other duties. First-time volunteers are paired with others who
have helped before. Once the show starts, volunters can fill any empty seats and watch the show. After intermission concessions and clean up in the concession area takes only a few minutes. The lobby gift shop items are stored and paper products are refilled in the rest rooms. After the show carpets may have to be vaccumed and trash containers are emptied. Clean up lasts only a few minutes because everyone pitches in. Interested in volunteering? Contact Susan and Jim Champion at 704-7399603 or respond to jim champion@carolina.rr.com

Eagles Among Us by JIM FEREBEE 20th in a series Wendell Bunch was born in Norton, VA in March1950. The family moved to Kings Mountain, NC in February of 1957 (Ground Hog Day). He attended KM public schools and joined Boy Scout Troop 90 (previously Troop 1) Wendell held various leadership positions including Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader. He remembers that his Scoutmaster was Henry McKelvie, with Assistant Scoutmasters H. Lawrence Patrick and Manly Hayes. Of all the men interviewed to date, only Wendell and his brother Phillip have the distinction of being the only ones to have earned the “God and Country” award, Scouting’s youth religious award. This is a major accomplishment not achieved by many scouts.
Wendell earned his Eagle Rank in 1964 at the age of 14. In the process he earned 24 merit badges. His recollections of his time in scouting include: attending Camp Bud Schiele and completing the “mile swim”, going on a camporee that was so wet that he wound up using his Coleman stove to cook for his troop and other troops there. After high school, Wendell attended Western Carolina University earning a BS in Industrial Technology. He served six years in the Army Reserve reaching the rank of staff Sergeant (E-6). Wendell returned to Kings Mountain and has been active in the management of Bunch, Inc. This continues to the present. Additionally, Wendell owned and operated “Town and Country BBQ/ Catering”. He is married to Karen Alexander. They have two children: a son Wendell, Jr., who earned his
eagle in Troop 95, and a daughter Marlilyn. The family attends Church of Christ in Shelby. Wendell is active in community service. He serves or has served on the Board of Directors of First Citizens Bank, Cleveland County Solid Waste Board, County Planning Board, Kings Mountain Housing Authority Board, and Moss Lake Planning Board. As an adult Wendell has served as Troop Committee Chairman of Troop 95, when it was at El Bethel United Methodist Church. Also he was helped restart Troop 90 at Church of Christ Shelby. In response to “What has scouting meant to you and how has it affected your life?” Wendell says that he values the skills learned and particularly the discipline training they received from Lawrence Patrick. Mr. Patrick had been a Marine and taught discipline to the Scouts.

Marker honors Patriots at Kings Mountain at the Kings Mountain National Military Park other divisive war, “the last full measure of devotion.” Dr. Maclean’s marker stands today at the spot where Major Chronicle and others killed that day were buried. The 1815 slate marker deteriorated in time, and in 1915, the King’s Mountain Historical Association of Yorkville, South Carolina, erected a companion marker replicating the original inscription. Daniel Boone Footsteps, 1959 N. Peace Haven Rd., # 105 Winston-Salem, NC 27106, www.danielboonefootsteps.com DBooneFootsteps@gmail.com (336) 407-3035 Text for “Liberty Mountain” marketing committee about Maclean’s 1815 marker That marker reads: Major William Chronicle, Captain John Mattocks who were killed at this place on the 7th of October, 1780, fighting in defense of America. Colonel Ferguson, an officer of his Britannic Majesty, was defeated and killed at this place on the 7th of October, 1780. Sacred to the memory of William Rabb and John Boyd,
Kings Mountain. As he was from the South Fork area, he was keen on recognizing the patriots from his community who had fallen in that battle 35 years earlier. Under his own initiative and at his own expense, he erected a slate marker to honor four fallen heroes: Major William Chronicle, Captain John Mattocks, Lt. William Rabb, and Lt. John Boyd, all of Lincoln County, all known as “South Fork Boys.” Dr. Maclean’s commemorative marker was dedicated in a ceremony on July 4, 1815. This year, 2015, is that marker’s bicentennial. It stands at what has since become the Kings Mountain National Military Park. Even as the National Park Service begins its 100th anniversary celebration, this hallowed marker has stood in silent and proud commemoration for twice that period of time. It has honored through day and night, through winter snows and summer droughts, through prosperity and economic depression, through peace and war, those who gave, as such heroism would later be called after an-
The second oldest marker in the United States commemorating the American Revolution was placed 200 years ago in 1815 to honor four patriot militiamen from Lincoln County, North Carolina. That marker stands today at the site where they died, on the field of battle at Kings Mountain. The American Revolution was won during its Southern Campaign, and principal among those pivotal victories was the Battle of Kings Mountain, fought on October 7, 1780. Among the all- militia patriot force in that battle, North Carolinians left their homes in the valleys of the Broad River and Catawba River to join in. Some of them lived in today’s Lincoln, Gaston, and Catawba counties. One of those groups, near today’s Belmont and Mt. Holly, were known as the “South Fork Boys.” By 1815, Dr. William Maclean, a prominent citizen of Lincoln County and himself a veteran of the War for Independence, was distressed that no monument had been erected to honor the patriots who fought at
Principal among the men honored by Dr. Maclean was Major William Chronicle, the leader of the South Fork Boys. We know the story of Major Chronicle and, even at his young age of 25, how well he was revered and loved by his men. At The Cowpens on the night of October 6, it was Major Chronicle who recommended militiaman Enoch Gilmer as a most competent spy to send forward. We know it was Gilmer who learned from two local women he had tricked into thinking him a loyalist that British Major Patrick Ferguson was camped, as Gilmer reported, “on a ridge between two branches where some deer hunters had a camp the prior autumn.” We know it was Major Chronicle and Captain John Mattocks who recognized that description as their own hunters’ camp. It was Major Chronicle who, because of his personal knowledge of that terrain, was given command of the entire Lincoln County Militia by Lt. Colonel Frederick Hambright. And we know that Major William Chronicle, exuberant
Writers Bob Inman and Randell Jones, right, talk about the marker honoring the Patriots at Kings Mountain at the Kings Mountain National Military Park. The two men are pictured at a recent Liberty Mountain drama meeting. Photo by SHIRLEY BRUTKO to a fault, his champions later mourned, who led his men up the slope at Kings Mountain, ten paces ahead of them all, with his hat raised high and giving a shout, “Face the hill.” We know it was Major Chronicle who was then shot in the breast and killed, perhaps the first of all the patriot casualties that day. Inspired by Major William Chronicle’s
bravery, his men and his fellow officers fought on, taking their places in the line, moving upward and onward, and fighting with determined heroism. Stories abound of courage and determination from the Battle of Kings Mountain. These were men who would not fail. They were protecting their homes and

GRADUATES From Page 1 lives to live out whatever gifts we’ve been given,” said valedictorian Sara Scism. “Some of us will be artists, teachers, parents, community volunteers … and you may still be working to find your gifts. As Gandhi said, ‘Find yourself by losing yourself in the service of others.’” Senior class treasurer Noah Coleman presented the class gift, which was
a number of plants and benches around campus. The class of 2015, with its choice of “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars, which includes the refrain “Don’t believe me? Just watch,” seemed to be about defiantly dreaming big. KMHS principal Ronnie Funderburke seemed to pick up on that vibe, telling the eager soon-to-be-graduates “Just know that you can do anything through hard
work.” He was joined by a host of assistant principals, other administrators, including district Superintendent Dr. Stephen Fisher and school board members in seeing off the large senior class. Moments after the ceremony came to a formal close, seniors dispersed across the football field, meeting and regrouping in small and large circles alike as friends and family de-
scended to the field bearing hugs and smiles. “It was great to see everyone in a good mood, being positive,” said Rielly Neal, a 2015 graduate who’s headed off to Appalachian State University in the fall to study performance theater. “No separations, no differences.” Looking back on the big morning, newly minted graduate Lauren Ferrell was all smiles.
