17th annual event
Beach Blast Saturday in KM Splash into summer fun
CAPT. DEREK JOHNSON
Johnson tops in public service Police work has been Derek Johnson's life and he's by all accounts tops in his field. Captain Johnson, promoted through the ranks, was hired at age 20 by the late Chief Jackie Barrett and at that time one of two of the department's youngest patrol officers. He is re tiring July 29 at the age of 55 after 35 years of service with mixed emotions but with a good feeling of accomplishment in public
service because he has made a difference in the lives of others.. “The profession, the city, and the people we serve have been good to me. I have the utmost respect for everyone. You helped me fulfill a dream to give back to the community and make a difference but it's a two way street – you have given back to me your trust, your appreciation for the work that all of us do and your See JOHNSON, Page 4

Pokemon Go craze attracts players It depends on who you talk to about the newest digital popularity craze Pokemon Go. Since release of the Smart Phone “Pokemon Go” game last week kids and growups too have been using the phone's GPS technology to find and capture animated creatures – in real world places.
Every time the app is opened, a warning from game maker Niantic pops up, telling players to be aware of their surroundings. Players must also agree to fine print saying they cannot enter private property without permission. Some of the warnings aren't getting through in some areas. Police have reported no incidents of residents playing the game on private property or searching for the 'creatures' in places they See POKEMON, Page 4
Sadie Sadieisisa ahero! hero! Sadie, a chocolate brown and white Border Collie, is by all accounts a hero. She proved the old adage that “a dog is man's best friend” last Monday when she pulled a fiveyear-old little girl out of the ocean at Oak Island, NC. The “Grand dog” of Tammy and Keith Roper of Kings Mountain was on a leash and taking a stroll about 10:30 a.m. on the beach with Tammy Roper when she suddenly broke loose and bolted into the water where the child was apparently having a diabetic seizure and was

physically struggling. The dog held on to the child and got her safely to shore. “Sadie overpowered me, the first time I have ever seen this good-natured dog act the way she did, she sensed the child was in trouble,'' said Tammy, adding, “We were at the right place at the right time.” The child's mother had turned to unload a golf cart, told her daughter and other children not to go in the water. The water was just too tempting for the youngster who could have drowned if not for See SADIE, Page 4
Liberty Mountain: A Revolutionary Drama is a wonderful play about the COZART War for Independence in our own back yard. If you haven’t seen the play, you should go. If you have seen it, go again. Each
season, Bob Inman makes changes to improve the play which keeps it fresh for the audience. Everyone who has seen it says it just gets better and better each year. But Liberty Mountain isn’t the first play written about the Battle of Kings Mountain. During the sesquicentennial celebration in 1930, four performances of an historic pageant of the battle of Kings Mountain, sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, were performed for the public at Kings Mountain High School.

Parking lot to open July 29 The newly-renovated Cherokee Street back parking lot is scheduled to open to the public July 29 to allow ample time for asphalt curing, City Manager Marilyn Sellers said this week. Sellers said the paving process is scheduled for July 25 and painting and stripping is scheduled for July 26. Sellers said that if the time lines are met that the project has taken over the 30 day original time line. Ad-
ditional lights were installed to better cover the area; the addition of a catch basin to assist in storm water collection; an additional curbing area at the intersection of Gold and Cherokee to better mitigate the safety of pedestrians; and replacement of the sidewalk, curbing and entrance points on the west side of Cherokee Street that's adjacent to the parking lot will better mitigate the water and possible See PARKING LOT, Page 4

PARKING LOT: to open July 29 From Page 1 entrance confusion along with replacing aged and deteriorating sidewalks and curbs. “We can't wait until the finished product is complete,'' said Sellers. She said she is very proud of her staff who have worked extremely hard on a project which has been top priority. “Unfortunately, we know there are citizens and downtown business owners in the area who have been inconvenienced and that the process has taken longer than first anticipated. As with any project, an estimated time line is given and it's always our goal to meet such time lines,'' Sellers added. Mayor Scott Neisler added that a ribbon-cutting will be held at completion of the parking lot and that $5 coupons will be distributed for citizens to shop at businesses inconvenienced by the new construction. The mayor said the city
donated $10 discount coupons for citizens to attend the Revolutionary War drama, “Liberty Mountain,'' which closes this Sunday after a highly successful run. A total of 174 out of 300 coupons were used, so the remainder of the unused money will be provided in $5 discount tickets and given out at the ribboncutting. Main Street Director Jan Harris said “this has been a once in a lifetime type of project.” She said the parking lot will be “so much better, more useful, more user-friendly and much more attractive than ever before and we have gained additional parking spaces while providing convenient access for large delivery trucks to enter and offload merchandise for the shops along South Battleground. We will wait until cooler weather in the fall to add the trees, shrubs and flowers which will beautify the new parking lot.”
SADIE: is a hero! From Page 1 the alert dog who sensed danger. The Kings Mountain Ropers have been dog sitting with Sadie for a year for their son, Justin who is a minister at Hickory Grove Baptist Church and he and his wife, Jenna and children Ennie, 4, and Lyla, 2, live in Charlotte. Justin trained Sadie and the Roper's son,
Ethan, a pharmacy student at Campbell University, also trained another Border Collie by the name of “Rowdy” who also quickly became a member of the Roper family. Most of the time Sadie digs for shells and driftwood but this day she came up with a special treasure. “God was with her,'' said Tammy.
PIECES: of Kings Mountain History From Page 1 The drama was under the direction of Miss Laura Plonk, director of the Southern Workshop, School of Expression and Arts in Asheville. Three hundred people were in the cast, and twenty-one scenes depicting various events from the American Revolution and Battle of Kings Mountain were featured. In 1951, The Kings Mountain Little Theater featured, “Then Conquer We Must,” another incarnation of the Battle of Kings Mountain directed by C.J. Spivey. As an aside, I don’t know exactly where Spivey got the name “Then Conquer We Must,” but it is used in the fourth verse of the Star Spangled Banner, which became our National Anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301), which was signed by President Herbert Hoover. “Then conquer we must when our cause it is just, And this be our motto – ‘In God is our trust,’ And the Star-Spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free & the home of the brave.” Another version of the
respect,'' he said. Johnson has saved lives and he has steered young people in the right direction. “You changed my life, you cut me a break” said a teenager who is now an adult. The changing of the times means more challenges for those men and women who put their lives on the line every day as policemen and policewomen and Johnson admits that a policeman is trained mentally and physically for a challenging career. A “people person,'' he gets out in the neighborhood and talks with people and is active in the department's “Shop with a Cop” at Christmas time, National Night Out, and in other community programs in which police are active. “I always wanted to be a policemen,'' said Johnson who joined the Grover Volunteer Rescue Squad at age 14 at the urging of his neighbor Roger Goforth, currently a reserve policeman at Moss Lake. That was the start of a busy career in public service. A 1979 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, he finished Rookie School in 1980 and for a year served as the police
officer in the Town of Grover and after that served a year as a deputy in the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office. In 1983 he joined the Kings Mountain Police Department as a dispatcher and was sworn in as a patrolman March 16, 1984 but resigned in April 1985 to take full time employment with the Shelby Rescue Squad but remained in the KMPD Reserves. He was a volunteer in Shelby Rescue Squad for 22 years. Johnson came to work at KMPD as a full time, road patrolman on Oct. 17, 1988, was promoted to Sergeant Sept. 18, 1989 and moved to the Detective Division Oct. 20, 1997 and was promoted to Lieutenant in the Detective Division May 30, 2000. He was promoted to Captain in the Detective Division Feb. 4, 2002. Johnson has served under six Chiefs of Police: Jackie Barrett, Bob Hayes, Warren Goforth, Houston Corn, Richard Reynolds and current Chief Melvin Proctor. “I'm going to miss everyone,'' said Johnson. He said it has been his “ultimate satisfaction” as a police officer to serve on the medical team with the EMS and Rescue Squads. His CPR training saved a
battle story, entitled “The Sword of Gideon,” was written by playwright Flora Henri. It was based upon her novel, “Kings Mountain” that was a complete sellout in 1950. With a cast of 150, the performance lasted about two hours. This drama was also under the general direction of the Kings Mountain Little Theater. This performance featured Dr. Phillip Padget and William P. Fulton of Kings Mountain. Over time, both “Then Conquer We Must” and “The Sword of Gideon” have been reprised by different generations of the Kings Mountain Little Theater. I’m sure other plays throughout the decades were performed that I don’t even know about. Now we have “Liberty Mountain,” a treasure of a story that we as citizens should celebrate by attending at least one performance. This weekend is the last showing of the 2016 drama. Going to the play not only supports the theater arts, our local history, and the community’s economy. Grab a bite to eat downtown, and do your part to support our downtown merchants. The Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter is proud that our newest member,
Erica Carpenter, performs in Liberty Mountain. This is her third year as a member of the cast. Erica has a love for history and “all things Kings Mountain” and we are proud to see her carry history’s torch for a new generation. Our community has a long embraced the story of this battle as an example of the tenacity of a people who only had each other to rely upon to protect themselves and their families. From our City’s founding fathers conceptualizing and implementing the Battleground Centennial Celebration in 1880 to the present day when the Kings Mountain Little Theater has supported various incarnations of the battle drama, it is obvious that we love this battle and are proud descendants of those who fought. If you or your family have lived in this area for two or three generations, it is likely you connect to a patriot from the battle of Kings Mountain. Hundreds of thousands of people across our nation descend from those pioneer patriots. You might be surprised to discover you are one among those who can claim their family’s role in the founding of our nation. When you re-
alize that connection… it is both a proud and humbling moment. As Senator James T. Broyhill, in the foreword to Randell Jones’ book, “Before They Were Heroes at Kings Mountain” writes succinctly: “If there had been no victory at Kings Mountain, there would have been no battle at The Cowpens. And if there had been no victory at Cowpens, there would have been no battle at Guilford Courthouse. And if there had been no Battle of Guilford Courthouse, there would have been no Yorktown and no surrendering of the British troops under General Lord Cornwallis. The victory at Kings Mountain initiated a chain of events that ended with America’s freedom. This victory was secured by the brave backwoodsmen and Overmountain Patriots who enjoyed a reputation that had grown in notoriety, legend, and respect.” If you haven’t yet done so, go see Liberty Mountain to celebrate our “own backwoodsmen” and their contribution, which turned the tide of the war in favor of the American Patriots. Had it not been for these men, we might not have independence to celebrate.

In retirement he will continue to teach basic law enforcement courses at Cleveland Community College and Gaston College and classes in CPR to first responders. “I will find stuff to do,'' he says. But it will take “a while” to get used to regular life. The son of Peggy and Eugene Johnson of Kings Mountain, he has two children: Courtney, 19, a student at UNC at Charlotte, and Cameron, almost 16, a junior at Kings Mountain High School. Johnson loves scuba diving, boating, the outdoors, and riding a motorcycle. What is his advice to rookie cops? Familiarize yourself with the public you serve, respect and trust them and they will respect and trust you, when they call you for help listen. Trust is a two-way street.”

Other stops are Mauney Memorial Library, Central United Methodist Church and the Barber House or 'gymn' for players to contest each other. "I don't know if Pokemon Go is going to be a windfall for tourism, an opportunity for players to take advantage of our walkable community or a way that students can learn more about our City." said Ellis Noell, Tourism Development Authority Executive Director. Noell continued, "Merchants and local attractions will be challenged on finding creative ways to invite these close by game players into their facilities. I think we'll see some very creative ways that this can be

some older people find, capture and train these 'monsters' who roam the land and then put them in battle against other players. The goal must be for friends to excitedly whip out their phones, walk around their neighborhoods and hunt down Pokemon which the game triggers at semi-random physical locations. When they find one it activates their phone's camera and shows up the Pokemon and photos are taken in all sorts of places. Pokemon Go is a new app from the Pokemon Co., Nintendo and Niantic Labs that's become an overnight sensation in some localities. Pokemon is a combination of the words “pocket” and ”monster.” A group of about two dozen Pokemon Go fans were seen walking in downtown Kings Mountain Monday night, all with their cell phones in hand.
done.'' ''What is Pokemon Go?,'' a Kings Mountain citizen over 40 asked. Her nieces and nephews could tell her. It's a free-to-play mobile app that you can download for iOS or Android. It's free to download and start playing but you have the option to use real money to buy in game currency called Poke coins which are used to purchase Pike balls, the items you need to be able to catch Pokemon. If you scroll through Twitter or Facebook, you'll come across what appears to be normal pictures of a grocery store, someone's fridge, a service station, library, museum where you might expect to find a Pokemon or someone looking for one. Playing this game could be a drain on your battery and cellular data. But the curiosity of chasing these “characters” or ''pocket monsters'' appeal to people. It's an insanely popular game as kids and

Out of those millions of people God was only able to find one worthy of grace (the free and unmerited favor of God). Because of Noah’s lifestyle lived in the midst of wickedness and violence greater than anything we have ever seen, his life was spared and the lives of people that he invested in. Today as in the days of Noah, violence and wickedness still surround us everywhere. Today as in the days of Noah, the wages of sin is
still death. Today as in the days of Noah, God still desires to spare us from destruction. However, unlike the days of Noah we do not need to build an ark to obtain salvation. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8 NIV) Today, our response to all the wickedness and violence that surrounds us should be to tell as many people as we can about God’s gracious gift, our salvation, Jesus Christ. If one man out of billions accomplished what Noah did, what can millions of Christians today accomplish?

Tales from the Farmers Market Slice the bread in ¼ inch slices, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, toast slightly. Spoon tomato mixture onto bread, and drizzle with balsamic reduction. ENJOY!
Paradise at Patriots Park Joining the lineup of vendors recently was 238 Cherokee Grill, serving up delicious dishes for Kings Mountain foodies to sample. They will be holding court at the market at 6 pm from now on. Once bitten by the famers’ market bug, you will find yourself unable to resist the temptation of Thursday afternoons in the sun at Patriots Park and will want to share the experience with a friend. This recipe is just one of the many tempting dishes we sampled last week and a glimpse into what will come. CLASSIC TOMATO BASIL BRUSCHETTA 4 Roma or plum tomatoes
Nancy Fichter ¼ Red onion finely diced 1 clove garlic minced 4 large basil leaves diced 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil Salt & pepper to taste Italian style hoagie Balsamic reduction Combine tomatoes, red onions, garlic, basil, salt and pepper, in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.

Florida artist Christopher Still honored with Honorary degree from FSU In recognition of his “significant humane contributions to Florida State University and to the citizens of the state of Florida,” Florida State University presented Tarpon Springs artist Christopher Still an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree recently. Christopher M. Still was born in Clearwater, Florida. His formal art education began at the age of eight. He received a full scholarship to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with continued education in human anatomy at Jefferson Medical School and classical Greek sculpture at the Frudakis Academy in Philadelphia. While attending the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the artist was awarded a European Travel Fellowship and the Pennsylvania Governor's award for outstanding accomplishment in Fine Art. In 1986, Chris returned to paint in his home state using the art skills he acquired through years of training. His passion for Florida's land and people has led him to work with the state's best biologists, historians, and archaeologists as well as the common people of Florida. Always driven by passion for excellence, he has gone to great lengths to identify what it means to be a Floridian. He engineered his own custom underwater painting box to paint Florida's coral reefs and springs. He has walked the bottom of the Gulf to observe the daily work of sponge divers, climbed ladders to pick fruit with citrus growers, and followed Florida cattlemen as the sun set on another beautiful day of hard work. He has traveled to Spain to walk through the church where Ponce de Leon was baptized and painted in front of the Havana Cathedral in Cuba while retracing the diary of an early Spanish explorer. In 1999, then Speaker of the House John Thrasher had a vision to renovate the Chamber of the Florida House of Representatives. He felt it was important to incorporate works of art that

When Chris received the call that he was selected for the project he knew it was the “opportunity of a lifetime.” Still was commissioned to complete 10 murals featuring decades of Florida's environmental history. These 10 paintings and the legends that explain them have become the foundation for lessons in history, art and science and a favorite field trip for Florida's school children. Acclaimed artist Christopher M. Still was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame and is the Artist in Residence for the Florida Legislature. His paintings can be found in museums and private collections including the Governor's Mansion of Florida and the Smithsonian Institution. At the ceremony, keynote speaker John Phelps, the director of the Senate Rules Committee, stated that ''Christopher's imagination speaks lyrically of Florida's soul, as he transforms what he sees into paintings of great beauty.'' Phelps further com-
mented that'' Chris heightens elements of the natural world through his art to reveal essential character.'' Christopher is the son of Dr. and Mrs. John L. Still of Kings Mountain and the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Garland E. Still of Kings Mountain.

Walls going up on new KMHS concession stand, donations still needed to make it fully funded Work is underway on the new Kings Mountain High School concession stand/ restroom facility at John Gamble Stadium, but the sponsoring Kings Mountain Touchdown Club still needs assistance from the public to have the project fully funded. Total cost of the project is $265,000. Touchdown Club president David Brinkley said, to date the club has raised $253,664 in cash and pledges. The club needs $11,336 for the project to be fully funded. Brinkley said if 23 people would give $500 each the project would be fully funded. Trent Hagans Construction is the general contractor for the concession stand/ restroom project, and it is first class. It will include a large area where food can be freshly grilled. It is being built between

The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club is holding its annual renewal and sign-up for new memberships. The Touchdown Club provides much needed assistance to all athletic programs at Kings Mountain High School. The TD Club was formed in 2007 with 83 members. Since that time it has grown in membership and has donated over $1.8 million to KMHS athletics which includes the new Brinkley Field House and money raised for the new concession stand and restrooms. The club has also donated monies to provide equipment, travel expenses, and weight room improvements for all sports. The KMTD Club reviews game film with the coaching staff each Tuesday at 7 p.m. during the football season. The first meeting will be on August 30. The club also has hats available to purchase with the KMTD Club logo. They are $10 each. Members of the club are also entitled to park

Legion Riders growing here and nationwide Growth is nothing new to The American Legion Riders. Each year the Riders have broken records for funds raised during the annual Legacy Run. That extended to last summer, when the Riders brought in more than $1.2 million for the fund that provides college scholarships for the children of parents who died while on active-duty military service on or after Sept. 11, 2001, as well as the children of post-9/11
veterans with a Department of Veterans Affairs disability rating of 50 percent or higher. But the Riders aren’t growing just in terms of money they’ve raised. Recently, the number of American Legion Rider chapters hit 2,000 nationwide. Since March 31 alone, 115 chapters have been formed – an average of more than 40 a month. The Riders continue to be the fastest-growing program in The American Legion
POST 155 AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS - Pictured (right) are members of the Kings Mountain American Legion Post 155 Riders. They are: Commander Claude Pearson, Rodney Short, Kenny Davis, Joel Summit, Darrell Queen, Jeff Nauditt, Vice Commander Rick Hamrick, Mike Duncan, David Carroll, Mike Clack, Tim Oliver and Scott Thomas.

New partnership announced to combat opioid issue In the wake of a growing opioid epidemic in Gaston County, a new partnership will place doses of the opioid overdose-reversing drug Narcan® (naxalone) in law enforcement vehicles in Gaston County. Doug Luckett, President and Chief Executive Officer of CaroMont Health, Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger, and Mark Lamphier, Director of Gaston Emergency Medical Services (GEMS), have formed a partnership to help address the opioid overdose issue in Gaston County and their plans will be announced at a press conference today in the Gaston County Sheriff's Office at 2 p.m. Police officers and firefighters are often the first to arrive on the scene after a 911 call, so it is important they are equipped with the tools and training needed to begin treatment, according to Luckett.. CaroMont will provide 500 doses of Narcan® and supplies and GEMS will provide education for Gaston County Police Departments to ensure officers know how to administer medication to those who suffering from an overdose.
GEMS will also track all doses administered via a reporting card that will be completed by the officer who administered the dose and then provide a new ready-to-use dose to ensure the officer will have the supplies needed for a future call. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called opioid abuse an epidemic in our country, and the alarming effects
are being felt in the Gaston County community. In fact, Gaston County has one of the highest rates of opioid overdose in North Carolina. This partnership comes after the announcement of a community-wide initiative bringing together several agencies to help raise awareness and create an action plan to address the opioid issue in Gaston County
