Drama scene, fireworks to highlight July 4th ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
Playwright Bob Inman, seated, Bob Gunter, and Julia Carpenter prepare to film interviews about “Liberty Mountain'' for “NC Weekend'' which airs on UNC-TV Thursday, June 30 at 9 p.m. and Friday, July 1 at 8:30 p.m.
NC Weekend features drama A crew from the UNC-TV show “NC Weekend” was in town recently preparing a piece about “Liberty Mountain'' for their upcoming show. Traveling here from the Raleigh/Durham area, Julia Carpenter, the on air talent and producer, and Bob Gunter, cameraman, spent two days filming rehearsals, gathering information, and interviewing Playwright Bob Inman and Director Caleb Sigmon, among others. They took take after take of interviews about the play and its historical background. The crew spent time filming the full dress rehearsals of several scenes of the drama. They said it took a lot of stops and starts and filming the same scenes from different angles and perspectives but
they came away with a lot of footage to be edited down for the show. Both Carpenter and Gunter said they were impressed with the scope of the play. They were especially pleased that “Liberty Mountain” is performed indoors at the Joy Performance Theatre. This contrasts with other historical dramas they have covered such as “Horn in the West,'' which is performed outdoors. Julia, who is British, was the first to point out the irony that UNC-TV “sent a Brit to cover a play about the Revolutionary War.” The “Liberty Mountain” spot will air on the NC Weekend show on UNC-TV on Thursday, June 30 at 9 p.m. and on Friday at 8:30 p.m.

esophagus and spinal cord that resulted in a stroke after being stabbed with a knife and is in critical condition under sedation sleep at CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia.

The tickets originally cost $20 each. Local people say the Kings Mountain fireworks are not your ordinary fireworks. Billed as the biggest fireworks show between Charlotte and Asheville, the Kings Mountain 4th will be capped off with a spectacular show that draws thousands each year to Kings Mountain from the surrounding areas.

Employee raises Parades at Moss Lake in County budget Sunday, Monday All Cleveland County employees received a 1.6% cost of living adjustment and a ½ step pay adjustment for full time employees after a one year t e n u r e RICHARDSON in the 2016-17 budget adopted by county commissioners last week. Employee benefit enhancements also include an increase in health savings account dollars of $100 for non-smokers and those employees who participate and complete a smoking cessation program. Employees were also offered discounted rates and payment through payroll deductions for purchase of Fitbits. The $112.3 million budget contains no increase in property taxes. The property tax will remain at 57 cents per $100 valuation and both “no tax increase” and “more benefits for employees” were among a list of priorities of the five-member board of commissioners. Included in the budget is a modest 4% increase in the county's health insurance but County Manager Jeff Richardson said that across

the county employees are seeing an average of 20% increase for health insurance. Wellness programs such as health coaching, pre-diabetes classes, nutrition counseling and the Cleveland Cup are paying off in insurance savings. Other top priorities adopted by the board are a college tuition reimbursement program in which 10 county employees participated last year and a small business incentive with grants awarded to businesses in Cleveland County that create a net new taxable investment between $100,000 and $500,000. The first grants will be distributed in fiscal year 2016-17. Other focus areas are economic development and the recruitment of new industry for which the county will fund the Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership $ 163,693 for next budget year. The current employment rate is 6% in the county and the county will commit $45,000 in funding for a scholarship program at Cleveland Community College which focuses on Machining and robotics. In addition to the progression of the Volunteer Fire Departments' strategic plan, the county will fund a full time law enforcement See COUNTY BUDGET, Page 7A

Balloon lift-off Sunday A lift-off of a dozen hot air balloons filled the skies from a hayfield on the James P. Falls farm Sunday at 6 p.m. as friends and relatives paid tribute to the late James Patrick Falls, a hot air balloon enthusiast who died in his sleep after returning from a weekend balloon festival in Virginia on June 19,
2016. He was 70. The late Jim Falls would probably have enjoyed Candy Roe's poem, “Balloons,'' which was included in his memorial service, particularly the last verse: “It's a peaceful sight to look up and see those big colorful balloons especially for me.”

His name was synonymous with athletic excellence. But he would always tell you that the rules he lived by were the ones he learned at home with his feet under his mama’s table.

Here is the shocking opener of his new book: “I am a United States Army general, and I lost the Global War on Terrorism.” These opening lines come from “Why We Lost: A General’s Inside Account of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.” Bolger writes, “It’s like Alcoholics Anonymous; step one is admitting you have a problem. Well, I have a problem. So do my peers. And thanks to our problem, now all of America has a problem, to wit: two lost campaigns and a war gone awry.” Just what did Bolger and the other generals do wrong in Afghanistan and Iraq? He writes, “Despite the unmatched courage of those in U.S. uniform--including a good number of generals who led their people under fire--our generals did not stumble due to a lack of intellect. Rather, we faltered due to a distinct lack of humility. Certain we knew best, confident our skilled troops would prevail, we persisted in a failed course for far too long and came up well short, to the detriment of our trusting countrymen.”

them when necessary to make a point, teach a lesson, give a warning, or execute judgment. I am a mere mortal so I don’t pretend to be able to explain how He does this or when and to what extent He will involve Himself in the natural flow of things. But looking to the Word, I find some very interesting passages. God stopped the rain for 3 years in the days of Ahab, king of Israel, as a punishment and way of getting the attention of this wicked king and the nation of Israel. Then at His command and according to His timing, He restored the rain in abundance showing His mercy and grace to the still unrepentant king and nation. (1 Kings 17 and 18) Then when Jesus was crucified, Matthew 27:4554 tells us that there was a total eclipse of the sun and a tremendous earthquake as Jesus died on the cross. Coincidence? I think not.

Memory Bears workshops set
■ MEDITATION
Redeemer One of my fun summer projects involves reading the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis with my children. They have been captivated by the stories, illustrations, DR. JONATHAN M. BUNDON and their own Worship Pastor i m a g i n a t i o n s ; First Baptist Church particularly The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Though you may have not read the book, you may have seen the movie. Both the fantasy novel and movie hold deeper meaning, and as we read, we see the world of Narnia in need of redemption. The main story is an al-
Page 5A
legory of Christ’s crucifixion: Aslan (the great Lion) sacrifices himself for the boy Edmund, a traitor who deserved death, in the same way that Jesus took our place by death on a cross. My son quickly connected the land of Narnia, Aslan, and Edmund to our real world, Jesus, and the human race. “Daddy, I’m like Edmund,” exclaimed my son. I responded, “We all are, son. That’s why Jesus came. We all needed to be saved.” C.S. Lewis paints an incredible picture of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption. In Romans 5:8 we read “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Christ really came to save us. In the passage before (5:7) it states, “At just the right time, when
we were powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” We didn’t deserve to be saved. Nothing we could do could make us righteous in and of ourselves. Like Edmund, we had be tried and found guilty. Just as Aslan the lion took the place for Edmund, Christ (the Lion of Judah) entered our world and took our place at just the right time. Christians rejoice! For though we were once guilty, we are now justified. Once we were enemies of God, now we are “reconciled” through Christ. Christ has indeed lavished his love and grace on us. Rejoice and be glad! Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found. Was blind, but now I see.

Earth and Potter Fest reception free to public Saturday “Earth and Fire” Pottery Fest returns this month to Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain. Over 20 regional potters will have their wares for sale. The public reception on Saturday evening, July 2 from 6-8 pm is free and open to the public. Many of the potters will be on hand to meet the public and tell you about their work. Traditional folkware pottery will be available along with contemporary artistic creations. All sales are ‘cash and carry’ (SASI also accepts visa and MC). Barry Lockman of Dallas, NC has been making pottery for over 30 years. He hand digs his clay and processes it himself to make traditional wheel thrown bowls, cups and vessels that are functional and beautiful. His pieces are salt glazed and put in a wood fired kiln creating a finished piece with natural colors. Potter Lorrie Anderson of Moose Hollow Pottery in Thomasville, NC makes pottery featuring nature and animals in bright colors. Don’t be surprised to find an opossum scampering around one of her cheese plates, or a goldfish swimming in a “dish” of water. “Earth and Fire” is sponsored by Historic Kings Mountain Tourism and Development Authority and Southern Arts Society. Southern Arts Society is located in the old Southern Railway train depot and makes See Earth & Potter Fest, Page 7

ROLLING STORM CLOUDS From Page 4A numerous other times when according to the Bible, God exercised His total control over the weather. And since He doesn’t change (MalachI 3:6) it makes sense that He might still be doing so. But let’s move on to some more positive verses. Leviticus 26:3-4 records God promising His people that if they keep His commandments and walk in His statutes that He will send rain in due season; the right amount at the right time. This promise is repeated in Deuteronomy 11:12-14 and 28:1&12. Then the converse is stated in Deuteronomy 11:16&17 - disobedience leads to God shutting up the heavens and allowing no rain. My point. Could it be that the God who created and maintains this world by the power of His Word, might actually be giving the nations of the world yet another warning through these “natural” occur-rences? Could it be that our weather problems are directly related to our practice of sinful activities such as abortion, homosexuality, murder, adultery, telling “fibs” (aka lies), etc.? Could it be that we are bringing these things upon ourselves with unrighteous living? And yes, I know that Matthew 5:45 says that God sends rain (good refreshing rain and bad storms and floods) on the just and the unjust (the saved and the lost). But the lost person can lose everything in addition to his soul. The saved person can’t even begin to imagine all that the Father has in store for him/her even if they lose all earthly materials. (1 Corinthians 2:9) Could it be that the world is suffering from major weather related problems because of the disobedience of God’s people everywhere? Selah - Think about it.

JULY 4TH From Page 1A explosions and fire we see in the sky with what we hear over the loud speaker. This year Neisler got a new supplier, Class A Fireworks of Stella, NC. “I drove to Stella, NC this weekend and met the connoisseur of fireworks Chris Moncourtois who gave me some great ideas and the city purchased some great fireworks,'' he said. Heart shells, choreographed to music, smiley faces to the tune of “Happy” and “Purple Rain” by Prince with purple fireworks will fill the night sky for what Neisler calls the most exciting show
ever in 20 minutes. Tony Goins' sound track featuring “Party Time” and the popular “Celebration Time Come On'' adds to the excitement of the show. Neisler started shooting fireworks when he first served on Kings Mountain city council in 1989. His crew this year includes David Allen and sons and Chris Parks and Tommy Carroll. Sponsors for July 4th in Kings Mountain are the City of Kings Mountain, Kings Mountain Tourism and Development Authority, “Liberty Mountain” and Gaston Rentals.
HELP: for stabbing victim From Page 1A Arnold Arrowood, 23, turned himself in at the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office just after 4:30 p.m. Friday and was charged with attempted first degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. He is being held at Cleveland County Jail under $100,000 secure bond. “James probably would
not want to ask anyone for help, but we know that he will desperately need it for the next few months to maintain a home and childcare and for physical and speech therapy which likely will not be covered 100% by insurance,'' said McFarland. “Our entire family thanks everyone for their prayers and support,'' McFarland added.
Woman receives donated vehicle
Love Valley Baptist Church Bus Ministry serves community Families of the bus ministry of Love Valley Baptist Church completed a three day revival recently by holding a drawing for a donated vehicle and Missy Jenkins of Gastonia was the winner of the 2008 Kia. Duane Reed and Jerome Bullock of Renaldo Dealership in Shelby were on hand to conduct the drawing for the SUV. The Renaldo Dealership Group of Shelby donated the vehicle. Love Valley Baptist Church has conducted a highly successful bus ministry for 15 years, providing transportation for families to go to church. A 10-bus fleet of buses operates every Sunday in Kings Mountain and surrounding
counties. Drivers leave after the morning service to run their routes and due to space limitations Love Valley has an afternoon service just for the bus riders. While the children are in service with the children's church workers the bus workers are eating lunch in the fellowship hall. After the services, the buses load up again and the riders are returned home and drivers are back at church for the evening service. “This revival service was held to be a blessing to the families who ride the church buses every week,'' said Assistant Pastor Michael Lindsay. Rev. Barry Philbeck is pastor of the church.

Warren Daniel (R-Burke, Cleveland) was selected by Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) to participate in a national conference last week with legislators from across the country to collaborate on issues related to state juvenile justice systems. The conference, sponsored by the National Conference of State Legislatures and the John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, was held in Lake Tahoe, NV. Sen. Daniel, co-chair of the Senate Judiciary II committee, was selected to represent the North Carolina General Assembly at the conference, where he joined 26 legislators from 18 states, as well as juvenile justice experts from across the country. Sen. Berger said, “Sen.
Daniel has been a co-chair of the Senate Judiciary II committee for the past five years, and has established himself as a leader in the area of juvenile justice. It is fitting that he should represent our state at this prestigious national conference.” “It was an honor to represent North Carolina at this event, and to discuss the future of juvenile justice re-

officer at the newly created Health and Human Services campus. The Health Department budget reflects a total county appropriation of $3,600,947, the Emergency Medical Services Department budget for the new year is $6,114,149 with creation of a central collections division which will manage EMS billing internally, rather than through a contracted agency. The Sheriff's office budget reflects a total appropriation of $12,643,057 with the addition of 13 new sheriff's vehicles to replace current high mileage vehicles, also adding two deputy positions in the Sheriff's Patrol Division and bringing the total number of new deputy positions to 12 over a three-year period. The county fire service district's tax rate will remain the same with a tax rate of 5 cents per $100 of property valuation for all county fire districts. The county's allocation to Cleveland County Schools totals $28,361,894. The per-pupil funding will remain the same at $1,890. Capital outlay will be $2,850,000, an increase of $150,000 from last year Just like the county's general fund budget, the county schools experienced a net decrease of 3.6% in value. The county schools tax rate
will remain flat at 15 cents per $100 of property valuation. The loss in property tax revenue is accounted for with sales tax growth and distribution. The overall appropriation of county funding in the Department of Social Services has decreased in excess of $400,000 for the second year in a row. This has been achieved due to full implementation of NCFAST, along with more intense multi-year budget planning and fiscal management. Cleveland County Department of Social Services continues to be a pilot program and one of the top performing counties for NCFAST implementation across the state. Cleveland County completed a mandatory revaluation of all real property in 2016 for the first time in eight years. Revaluation reflected a decrease in assessed value of 5.8%, Manager Richardson said in his budget message to commissioners. With a 2.2% natural growth, the county projected tax base is $7,948,048,617, a net decrease of 3.6% in assessed value for fiscal year 2016-17. Richardson said the county has continued to experience significant sales tax growth over the past several years due to continued Economic Development industry growth and a continued uptick in retail sales activity.
The county anticipates substantial growth, he said, in sales tax revenue due to state legislation changes which are expected to yield an additional $900,000 of county operational revenue, The county budget includes $581,196 for future capital projects. Richardson said it has been the commission's goal to increase the county's fund balance to be between 1820%. He said for the third year in a row the county's fund balance percentage will show positive growth and is projected to be 18.6% going into the FY 16-17 fiscal year, up from 14.6% in 2013 when Richardson came on board. Richardson said that in addition to financially managing through revaluation, during the heart of this year's budget project: +The county opened its new Health and Human services campus, co-locating Public Health, Behavioral Health and Social Services all within walking distance for all county citizens to more readily access. This campus now includes a newly completed 110,000 square foot state-of-the art Public Health/ Behavioral Health Center. This building was completed for $166 per square foot, which Richardson said is extremely competitive in today's construction economy. +The county opened its
forms across the country,” said Sen. Daniel. “I look forward to taking the knowledge I've gained back to Raleigh and working with my colleagues to implement important changes to our juvenile laws.” Daniel is currently serving in his third term in the North Carolina Senate, where he represents the people of Burke and Cleveland counties.
new 82-acre Foothills Public Shooting Complex through partnership with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. This recreational and training facility is the largest of its kind in the Carolinas and offers a wide array of unique gun and bow recreational shooting opportunities, as well as gun safety and certification training for citizens of all ages. +The Cleveland County Fire 2020 Strategic Plan Peer Review Report was completed to guide the county as a five to seven year strategic plan for all volunteer fire departments serving the citizens of Cleveland County. In his budget presentation last Tuesday, Richardson praised “the clear direction and vision of the board of commissioners'' and the county staff. Because of the uncertainties brought on by county-wide revaluation, multi-year financial planning was critical, he said, for the county to strategically balance the fiscal year 2016-17 budget and maintain positive momentum in the county's strategic plan focus area. He acknowledged the county staff who planned, prioritized and worked cross-departmentally to ensure the budget for the new year includes the efficient use of resources while continuing current service levels.

Post 155 drops another late-inning loss, little hope of qualifying for Area IV playoffs Kings Mountain Post 155 will end its regular season this week with little hope of making the Area IV playoffs. Heading into a game last night at home against Queen City, Post 155 stood 3-11 and ninth place in the 10-team Eastern Division which will send only eight teams to the playoffs. Post 155 is scheduled to play its final regular season game Thursday at Shelby. To make the playoffs, Post 155 (3-11) must win its final two games and hope Gastonia Post 23 (5-10) loses its final two to force a special game for the final Eastern Division playoff berth. Post 155 has been a seven inning ball club of late, losing three of its last five games after leading in the seventh inning. The latest late-inning loss came Sunday night at Lancaster Field when the KM nine fell to Huntersville 9-6 in 12 innings. Kings Mountain led 6-2 going into the eighth inning. Alec Seaward pitched the first seven innings for KM. He gave up an unearned run in the fourth inning and served up a home run pitch to Nick Cici in the fifth as Huntersville chipped into an early 4-0 lead. KM built the advantage with a pair of runs in the second and single tallies in the third and fourth. Donnell Mitchell’s RBI followed a Tyler Swift single and a Huntersville error for a 1-0 lead in the second. Seaward’s ground ball force play plated the second run. Brandon Bell singled and later scored on Mitchell’s second hit for a 3-0 lead in the third, and Austin Sellers’ double to left made it 4-0 in the bottom of the fourth. Kings Mountain increased its advantage to 5-2
in the fifth on Daniel Bagwell’s double to deep centerfield; and made it 6-2 in the sixth on hits by Matt Absher and Hunter Champion and a Huntersville error. Absher came from shortstop to the mound in the top of the eighth, but had control problems. Errors didn’t help his cause either, and Huntersville rallied to cut the margin to 6-5. Jacob Nixon came on to pitch and Huntersville was able to tie the score at 6-6 on yet another KM error. Bagwell came on in the ninth to put down a Huntersville rally. He retired nine men in a row, including the first two batters in the top of the 12th before Huntersville rallied to win on four straight singles and another KM error. Mitchell led the KM plate attack with three hits. Absher added two and Swift, Brandon Bell, Sellers, Bagwell and Alex Bell had one apiece. In other games last week, KM lost to Shelby 9-6, Lincoln County 22-8, Gaston Braves 9-1, Cherryville 12-4 and forfeited to Mooresville. The locals held seventh inning leads against Shelby and Lincolnton before losing in the last two innings. Sellers and Absher had two hits each against Shelby. Brandon Bell, Andrew Baber, Hunter Cash and Bagwell added one each. Kings Mountain led Lincolnton 8-3 in the seventh. Cash, Baber, Mitchell, Brandon Bell, Alex Bell and Sellers had a hit apiece. Darren Guffey had the only hit against the Gaston Braves. Cash, Nixon, Champion, Absher and Sellers had a hit each against Cherryville.
Kings Mountain’s Tyler Swift was called out on this play at third base in Sunday’s Area IV game with Huntersville at Lancaster Field.
Alec Seaward pitched a strong seven innings for Kings Mountain Post 155 in Sunday’s 12-inning loss to Huntersville at Lancaster Field.
Kings Mountain’s Austin Sellers is out on a close play at third in Sunday’s game with Huntersville at KMHS. Brandon Bell rounds third and heads home for Post 155 Sunday against Huntersville at KMHS.

Free fishing on 4th of July The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reminds anglers and would-be anglers of all ages that July 4 is “free fishing day� in North Carolina. From 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., anyone can fish without having to pay for a fishing license or additional trout privilege license in all public waters, including coastal waters.
While everyone - residents and non-residents alike - can fish in public waters without a license on July 4, all other fishing regulations, such as length and daily possession limits, as well as bait and tackle restrictions, apply. Boating maps on the NCWRC website list more than 500 fishing and boat-
ing areas, most of which are free and open to the public. Public fishing areas range from well-developed access areas with universally accessible boat ramps and piers, to sites with only gravel parking lots and an access trail leading to the water. These include Community Fishing Program (CFP) sites that are devel-
oped through partnerships between the Commission and local municipalities and organizations. Many of these sites receive routine stockings of channel catfish and often have a universally accessible fishing pier. Some CFP sites have loaner rods and reels that anglers can borrow for the See FISHING, Page 3B

Kings Mountain Historical Museum showcasing “Turning Point: The Battle of KM Kings Mountain Historical Museum is showcasing “Turning Point: The Battle of Kings Mountain� in an exhibit which runs through October 15 Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission to the museum is free. Museum members were treated to a preview of the exhibit last Tuesday and barbecue with all the trimmings, an after-hours event which included some attendees in colonial costume. “These after-hours events are one of the biggest draws of our museum membership program,'' said Museum President Susan Champion. “As a non-profit organization that doesn't charge an admission fee, our membership program helps sustain the museum's operations, from free educational exhibits and programs, to the care of our historical collections. Our members are treated to private special events, each of which offers a fun and unique cultural experience, along with the satisfaction of supporting the good work of the museum.'' “We hope to grow our membership program with many new faces this year,'' said Museum Director Adria Focht. “Our existing members are continuing to renew their commitment to the museum.�
Some of the exhibits featured items from Kings Mountain Little Theatre productions including “Then Conquer We Must� and “Sword of Gideon,� outdoor dramas presented at the Kings Mountain Battleground amphitheater. A dress worn by Suzanne Amos as “Virginia Salter� in the early 1980s performance of Then Conquer We Must and playbills and other paraphernalia from the 1950s “Sword of Gideon� were conversation pieces. Sara ( Mrs. Wilson) Griffin wore her colonial-style dress and bonnet that she wore in the 1974 Kings Mountain Centennial and Mountaineer Days celebrations. Ellen Abernathy and Gene Patterson shared an ancestor who fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain and Patterson provided some of the history and exhibits among the varied historical collections. Displays relating to annual celebrations of the Battle of Kings Mountain reflect the spirit of their time and an enduring commitment to commemorate those who bravely changed the course of American history. This exhibit is presented with items on loan from the Kings Mountain Little Theatre and Liberty Mountain, the Revolutionary Drama, the Inn of the Patriots &

day on a first-come, firstserve basis. Through the Commission’s Tackle Loaner Program, anglers can check out a fishing rod and reel in much the same way as checking out a library book. They receive a Tackle Loaner card, which is valid at all tackle-loaner sites across the state, although the rods and reels must be returned to the location where they were borrowed. Anglers age 15 and younger who register for the Tackle Loaner Program for the first time receive a mini tackle box filled with hooks, fishing line, a bobber and a stringer. In addition to providing free places to fish, the Commission stocks a variety of fish in public, inland waters across the state throughout the year to give anglers a better chance of catching fish. Cool mountain waters are stocked with brook, brown and rainbow trout, as well as walleye and muskellunge. In warm waters, Commission staff stocks largemouth bass, American shad, striped bass, channel catfish and sunfishes. Authorized by the N.C. General Assembly and enacted in 1994, North Carolina’s annual free fishing day always falls on July 4. On all other days of the year, a fishing license is not required for anglers 15 years and younger, but anyone age 16 and older must have a fishing license to fish in any public water in North Carolina, including coastal waters.

Remembering Preston Goforth (Ed. note: Preston Goforth was killed at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Gene Patterson is one of his ancestors and he has contributed this article about the family along with photographs in today's Herald.) S. P. and Alice were both born in 1860. Their families were neighbors in a rural White Plains community west of the present city of Kings Mountain. Both attended Falls School which was located on County Line Road. Their families were members of El-Bethel Methodist Church. S. P. and Alice were both direct descendants of Preston Goforth, who was killed at the battle of Kings Mountain. The Preston Goforth Cemetery is located about ½ mile from where they were raised and where they lived as adults. S. P. was the only child of Wm. C. and Frances “Fannie” Hardin Goforth. Wm C. joined the Confederate Army and left for service when S. P. was six months old. He was wounded at the Sharpsville Virginia Battle and died in a Confederate hospital in Richmond in 1862. He was buried in a Confederate War Cemetery in Richmond. S. P.’s mother, Fannie, returned to the Antioch Community, where she was raised. Her parents were Abraham and Rachel Whisenant Hardin. After Wm. C.’s death, Fannie re-married a cousin, John L. Hardin. She died in 1868 and is buried in the Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery. S. P. was raised by his paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Berry Goforth, who was left a widow with ten children after her husband Preston Goforth died in 1859. Preston and Elizabeth are buried at El-Bethel. Alice was one of four children of Samuel and Susannah Dickey Weir Harmon. Samuel’s grandfather, John Harmon, was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. John and Mary Hovis Harmon are buried at El-Bethel, as are Samuel’s parents, Peter and Rachel Harmon. Samuel Harmon survived his Civil War service only to be killed in an accident in 1878 while working as a carpenter. Susannah Weir Harmon was the great, great granddaughter of Captain John Weir of the American Revolution. Captain Weir and his wife Elizabeth McKelvey Weir are buried at the old Pisgah ARP Cemetery, as are Susannah’s grandparents, John Jr. and Susannah Dickey Weir and her mother Ruth Falls Weir. Susannah’s father William Weir is buried at Mtn. Rest Cemetery in Kings Mountain. S. P. and Alice were married in 1880 at her mother’s home. They ac-

Student earns high school diploma with help of new FINISH program When Aaliyah Smith walked into Cleveland County Schools Central Services, she had a newspaper in her hand, her grandmother by her side, and a nervous feeling about the unknown. But she had come with one goal in mind — and with it, one question. “Can someone help me graduate?” Smith was 18 and a senior at Crest High School when she dropped out to start working a few years ago. “I wasn’t really interested in school at the time,” she said. “I felt like the workforce had more value.” She had been working full-time at Family Dollar for over a year and had quickly moved up in the company to assistant manager when she realized she needed a high school diploma for any further promotions. When her grandmother read a newspaper article about another student who had gone back to finish their degree through CCS’ new FINISH program, she immediately started to convince Smith to try it. A week later, the pair took the next step and showed up at Central Services, and Smith was on her way to graduation. “I was nervous,” she said. “I didn’t know what the outcome would be.” Smith started the program in February and had five courses left before she could obtain her diploma — and she had only a short period to complete them. She had to finish before she turned 21 on July 3, when she would age out and be ineligible for enrollment. Smith is the 6th out of 7 students expected to graduate from the program this year. While most students take 4 or fewer classes per semester, Smith managed to complete her last five courses within one semester — an exception to the norm and no easy feat, according to Jane Blake and Karen Martin, her FINISH coaches. With the tight deadline and difficulty of balancing school and a full-time job, Smith’s journey was not without its obstacles. Though the program is online, Smith
AALIYAH SMITH would often come in before work or on her days off to seek help from her coaches. “The best part about the program was actually having help to get through it,” Smith said. “If you’re struggling with something, they actually talk through it with you and help you.” Blake said Smith had come a long way from the girl with the “deer in the headlights” look on her face from when they first met. She was now more confident in herself, pushed herself harder, and had a better attitude. “It’s been different working with her because of her maturity level, having already experienced the workforce,” Martin said. “We are just extremely proud of her.” Smith hopes to use her diploma and work experience as an assistant manager to continue up the ladder for a big corporation in the future — a dream she is now closer to because of the Finish program, her determination, and her support system. “If I had it to do over again, I would have stayed in school,” Smith said. “For a better position and better pay, you have to have your high school diploma.” But for those like her who want to graduate, her advice is never to give up, even if it means asking for help. “Stay to it,” she said. “No matter how hard it is.” About the FINISH Program The program began in the fall when Dr. Anita Ware, director of secondary education, and others started examining attendance data. They decided to create a program
that targeted students who had stopped going to school and were within a few credits of graduating. The program reaches out to students who were referred by their high schools, enrolls them in a blended high school custom program, and provides them with help from retired educators as FINISH coaches. It kicked into gear during the 2016 spring semester. Dr. Ware said the realistic goal of the program was to help 5-10 kids graduate each year. She said the best part of the program is the flexibility it allows in getting creative and customizing it to each student. Since the students in the program may have other responsibilities like work or kids, the program gives them a way to do it all without having to fit into the traditional high school mold. Though it is an online program, students can text, call, or visit their coaches when they want help. The district provides a Google Chromebook for each student, along with coaches to help them. “There is nothing more powerful than having an advocate who supports and encourages you in the process and never gives up, and that is exactly what Jane Blake and Karen Martin have done for these students," Dr. Ware said. Dr. Ware said Smith exemplifies the kind of student the program was made for — someone who needed a nontraditional high school setting, realized the value of a high school diploma, and was willing to do the work it took to graduate. "We are proud of her," she said. "It takes a lot of courage once you're out of the high school environment to step up and meet that goal, so she is very impressive." Students under the age of 21 who are interested in the FINISH program should contact Dr. Anita Ware at 704476-8075. Students over the age of 21 who are interested in finishing their high school diploma should contact Dan McKay at 704-480-5414 extension #103.

Who’s Eligible for Social Security Survivor Benefits? Dear Savvy Senior, Who all is eligible for Social Security survivor benefits? My ex-husband died last year at the age of 59, and I would like to find out if me, or my two kids – ages 13 and 16 – that we had together are eligible for anything? Divorced Widow Dear Divorced, If your ex-husband worked and paid Social Security taxes, both you and your kids may very well be eligible for survivor benefits, but you need to act quickly because benefits are generally retroactive only up to six months. Here’s what you should know. Under Social Security law, when a person who has worked and paid Social Security taxes dies, certain members of that person’s family may be eligible for survivor benefits including spouses, former spouses and dependents. Here’s a breakdown of who may be eligible. Widow(er)’s and divorced widow(er)’s: Surviving spouses are eligible to collect a monthly survivor benefit as early as age 60 (50 if disabled). Divorced surviving spouses are also eligible at this same age, if you were
married at least 10 years and did not remarry before age 60 (50 if disabled), unless the marriage ends. How much you’ll receive will depend on how much money (earnings that were subject to Social Security taxes) your spouse or ex-spouse made over their lifetime, and the age in which you apply for survivors benefits. If you wait until your full retirement age (which is 66 for people born in 1945-1956 and will gradually increase to age 67 for people born in 1962 or later), you’ll receive 100 of your deceased spouses or ex-spouses benefit amount. But if you apply between age 60 and your full retirement age, your benefit will be somewhere between 71.5 – 99 percent of their benefit. To find out what percentage you can get under full retirement age visit ssa. gov/survivorplan/survivorchartred. htm. There is, however, one exception. Surviving spouses and ex-spouses that are caring for a child (or children) of the deceased worker, and they are under age 16 or disabled, are eligible to receive 75 percent of the worker’s bene-
fit amount at any age. Unmarried children: Surviving unmarried children under age 18, or up to age 19 if they’re still attending high school, are eligible for survivor benefits too. Benefits can also be paid to children at any age if they were disabled before age 22 and remain disabled. Both biological and adoptive children are eligible, as well as kids born out of wedlock. Dependent stepchildren and grandchildren may also qualify. Children’s benefits are 75 percent of the workers benefit. Dependent parents: Benefits can also be paid to dependent parent(s) who are age 62 and older. For parents to qualify as dependents, the deceased worker would have had to provide at least onehalf of the parent’s financial support. But be aware that Social Security has limits on how much a family can receive in monthly survivors benefits – usually 150 to 180 percent of the workers benefit. You also need to know that in addition to survivor benefits, surviving spouses or children are also eligible to receive a one-time death benefit of $255.
Maximizing Strategies Social Security also provides surviving spouses and ex-spouses some nice strategies that can help boost your benefits. For example, you could take a reduced survivor benefit at age 60, and could switch to your own retirement benefit based on your earnings – between 62 and 70 – if it offers a higher payment. Or, if you’re already receiving retirement benefits on your work record, you could switch to survivors benefits if it offers a higher payment. You cannot, however, receive both benefits. You also need to know that if you collect a survivor benefit while working, and are under full retirement age, your benefits may be reduced depending on your earnings. For more information, visit ssa.gov/ survivorplan or call 800-772-1213. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
