Cleveland County deputies from the Community Interdiction Team from the Sheriff's Department confiscated 14 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and 870 grams of methamphetamine with a street value of $87,000 August 21, according to Sheriff Alan Norman.

Norman said Ryan Ashley Robinson, 39, and Brandi Lee Hackett, 25, were traveling on I-85 when they were pulled over near exit 5, off Dixon School Road, for broken brake lights and not signaling before changing lanes.

Deputies allegedly smelled marijuana coming from the 2014 Chevrolet Impala Hackett was driving. Norman said

officers waited for a K-9 to come to the scene and search the vehicle. He said deputies found 14 grams of marijuana and 870 grams of methamphetamine in the trunk of the car.

Hackett, 1445 Forest Ridge Drive, Stanley, NC, and Robinson, 2869 Mount Ruhama Church Road, Maiden, NC, were charged with two counts trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Hackett received a $100,000 bond and is in Cleveland County Women's Jail. Robinson received no bond and is being held at Cleveland County Jail.

Donnie Richmond concert Sept. 11 in Kings Mountain A lot has happened for Donny Richmond since first visiting Kings Mountain in 2013. The multi-award winning gospel and country music recording star has since completed acting roles in two feature length movies. “The Christmas Reunion” will be released Nov. 1, and “Saving Faith” is released Feb 2017.

Singles from Donny’s new recording project, “Gems”, are charting internationally.

And his duet with Grand Ole Opry legend Stonewall Jackson, “Jesus Is My Lifeline” was certified nationally at #1 on the gospel charts for the international GTE Music Magazine’s July 2016 issue. This Christian/Country recording, which in 1996/1997 became the longest running national #1 Chart Hit in the history of the Music City News and Gospel Voice magazines, has now reached #1 nationally/ internationally in three different decades - a music history milestone!

Richmond will be returning to his beloved “home church away from home,” Penley’s Chapel, in Kings Mountain on Sunday morning, Sept. 11, for a concert at 11AM. He has promised to sing “Jesus Is My Lifeline” and will also include a section in memory of the significant date of the Concert – September 11. Though Donny lives in Tennessee, he keeps tabs on Kings Mountain activities by way of his online subscription to the Kings Mountain

Herald. Knowing his affection for KM, his subscription was gifted to him by local resident, Monzell Moore, who has become a faithful Penley’s Chapel attendee ever since Donny’s first concert there in 2013.

Donny Richmond is featured on the “Stonewall Jackson & Super Friends” CD which includes 50 of the best loved country music artists ever, also including Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Tim McGraw, and Charlie Daniels. Donny is a recipient of the Living Legend Award from the Country Gospel Music Association in Branson, USA. Other national awards include Artist of The Decade, Entertainer of The Decade, Male Vocalist, Songwriter, Producer, and Top Int’l TV Donny has scored 14 national #1s in the U.S., beginning in 1993, and numerous hits on the Country and Gospel Charts in Europe.

His songs have reached #1 in more than a dozen countries, as tabulated by the European Country Music Association.

Richmond’s concerts are considered a “must see” by gospel and country music fans internationally. He has appeared with such notables as Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Willie Nelson.

While living in Nashville in the 1990’s, Richmond was at the forefront in the development of the genre of music now known as “Christian

DONNY RICHMOND Country” and was arguably its most publicized artist, in print media and on TV. Donny first became acquainted with King’s Mountain at the invitation of KM Chief of Police, Melvin Proctor. Melvin and his family met Donny in Pigeon Forge while he was appearing at Biblical Times Music Theater. Upon arriving for his first visit to Kings Mountain in 2013, Donny was greeted by then Mayor Rick Murphrey, who

presented him with the Key To The City. Donny immediately came to love and appreciate the people of Kings Mountain, and found those including Pastor Doug Allen of Penley’s Chapel to be so gracious, he vowed to return to King’s Mountain.

Penley’s Chapel is located at 1508 N. Piedmont Ave. in Kings Mountain. Donny’s concert Sunday morning Sept.

11 at 11AM is free to the public. All are welcome.

Boy Scouting in Kings Mountain

Campsite prior to putting up tarps The Troop arrived in Damascas around 10:00PM and set up camp in the Damascas City Park. The park provides bathrooms, a fire pit and a large grassed area for camping. All the cooking was done on charcoal fires or over propane stoves.

By Jim Ferebee

Troop 92 Bikes Virginia Creeper Trail On Friday afternoon, August 12, 2016, sixteen Scouts, five leaders and a trailer load of bicycles left Kings Mountain for Damascas, Va. Troop 92 is sponsored by Central United Methodist Church of Kings Mountain. The group is led by Scoutmaster David Estridge and Senior Patrol Leader Caleb Sears.

The park is bordered on the North side by Laurel Creek and is home to a flock of mixed breed ducks.

Many years ago, a city resident released the ancestors of these ducks and began feeding them along the creek. Now, town’s people and visitors alike come to the park to feed and enjoy their semi-wild feathered friends. Each morning a flock of Canadian Geese flew up the creek serving as an alarm clock with their honking.

On Saturday morning scouts and bikes were shuttled to Whitetop Mountain to begin the descent. The bike trail was developed many years ago from on old logging train rail bed. The Southern leg, and the most popular, is 17 miles long and is all downhill or flat.

It is a very popular tourist attraction is a big boon to Damascas and the local area.

During the descent four bikes encountered flat tires and Scouts had three minor falls. Thanks to the preparedness of Leader Larry Hyde all flats were tended to getting the bikes and Scouts back on the trail.

Other than some minor

scrapes and bruises, all bikers were able to continue.

The complete ride took about four hours with a stop for lunch at the Creeper Trail Café in the Taylors Valley Community, about half way down the mountain.

Three overzealous Scouts did this first section in “hyper-drive” with the intention of also completing the Northern leg of trail.

After reaching Damascus they were bussed to Abington, VA to ride the Northern leg of trail. It starts in downtown Abington and is about 17 miles in length.

Unlike the Southern leg, it isn’t the consistent downward slope. The Northern leg consists of some uphill and some flat sections in addition the downhill sections.

This requires much more peddling. To make things even tougher the group encountered a couple of rain showers before arriving back in camp around 4:30 PM. This group consisted of Scouts Caleb Sears, Kaleb Estridge, Jalen Roberts and Leader Larry Hyde.

All bikers were wet, muddy and tired and ready to spend a leisurely afternoon around camp. We even had a small group that took a dip in the creek.

Near the campsite the creek is relatively wide and deep as it is just upstream from a dam. The water was cool and refreshing.

During the evening meal preparation, Scouts battled with intermittent thunder showers. Following the Scout Motto “Be Prepared” the troop had erected multiple tarp shelters over their chuck boxes and cooking areas. The troop was divided into three Scout patrols and an adult patrol for camping and cooking. The

Troll Patrol and the Gentlemen Patrol produced cobblers for the dessert cooking contest. The Scouts producing the cobblers were Edward Velky and Alex Barr.

Both entries were deemed excellent by the judges with Scout Velky’s Apple Carmel Cobbler barely getting the win.

Later in the evening, after the rain ceased, the Scouts gathered around the campfire for some relaxation and storytelling.

I was privileged to go on this outing and serve as the cook for the leaders. In my many years as volunteer in the Scouting Program, it is always encouraging to see our scouts stepping up to be leaders in today’s world that has so many distractions. Our youth leaders in the Troop continue to give me pride and hope for the next generation.

After breakfast on Sunday morning, tents and tarps were taken down and spread on pavement to dry from rain and dew. Our Chaplain’s Aide, Scout Ryan Dixon, led our Sunday worship service. It focused on “courage and doing the right thing”.

The Troop made a quick stop on the way back to Kings Mountain at Rankin Lake Park. There the group was formed into a circle to do our routine de-brief of the trip. This is dubbed “Roses and Thorns”. Each participant is asked to share what they thought could have went better (Thorn) and what one thing was the most awesome (Rose).

This input helps the Patrol Leaders Council and adults in planning for future outing. The consensus from the scouts was that the trip went well, was a lot of fun.

Scouts gathered for worship service.

■ MEDITATION

■ CHURCH BRIEFS

Life’s too short to be bitter Have you been wronged? Sure, we all have at some point. You may be thinking about an instance (or person) right now. How we choose to deal with these situations makes the differ- DR. JONATHAN M. BUNDON ence.

Worship Pastor

First Baptist Church First of all, an attitude of bitterness can happen to any of us. Jealousy, disappointment and unresolved anger are just a few examples of how bitterness plants itself in our heart.

Then, every time we dwell on and recount the hurt or injustice, we in turn water the bitterness and help it to grow. If left unchecked and allowed to grow, the bitterness we have lovingly fed and watered will consume us. With this in mind, Jesus

proclaims, “In this world you will have many troubles,” yet we fail to remember the next phrase…“But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16.33. When life brings about trials and conflict, it is easy to allow bitterness to creep in. There is even a satisfying taste from the fruit of bitterness. We may enjoy dwelling on the injustice done to us by an individual or group. Martin Luther King Jr. pleaded with us not to “succumb to bitterness.”

Bitterness not only impacts our life and the life of the individual who has wronged you, it also affects your relationships with others. For the Christian, bitterness hurts you mind, body, and soul. Therefore, confess with King David “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10. We must confess our sin of bitterness to God, ask for forgiveness, and allow the Holy Spirit to create within us a clean heart. Only then can we reconcile with the individual or situation and allow forgiveness to flow.

It may turn out the person who wronged or hurt you doesn’t know it, or perhaps the one who offended you is eager to ask for forgiveness. Indeed, we are all in need of forgiveness and grace. Paul reminds us “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13. Additionally, he implores us to “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:30-31.

It’s safe to say we all have said or done something we regret. Personally, there are plenty of instances I regret said or done in a moment of anger. I have to check my attitude, ask for forgivingness, and allow God to renew a right spirit within me. I hope I will receive forgiveness, as in turn I learn to forgive others, because life is too short to live with bitterness.

■ LIFESTYLES

90 attend McGill Clan reunion in Kings Mountain August 21 Following Mr. Payseur's remarks, speaker and historian of Long Creek Presbyterian Church Brian Smith located the gravestones of eighth and ninth generation ancestors in that cemetery. John (William) McGill was the third congregant interred in that locale.

August 21 was also the 150th reunion celebration for Long Creek Church Most outstanding work for the year was produced by a new relative, Mrs. Ann R. Whaley of Charlotte. While searching on Ancestry.com she met a gentleman who has bought a monument company in York, SC and was using the stones for his garden. He came across the original headstone for Captain William and stated, “The inscription on this stone is for such a fine man I want to return this to the McGill family.” So Ann went to Shelby and retrieved the stone and the clan voted to restore it to its place in the Bethany ARP Church Cemetery.

The meeting concluded with a caravan to Long Creek

Presbyterian Church to hear historian Brian Smith and see the gravesites of the first McGills on American soil.

Officers were elected for 2017 and include Scott McGill of Virginia, James Frell Caldwell of Boone and Kure Beach, and Frances McGill of Kings Mountain, secretary-treasurer.

Agendas for future meetings were related to the group.

The 2017 meeting will be at the historic Brattonsville, SC site where the Mercantile Mall of entrepreneur John McGill of Clarks Fork, SC have been preserved. The log buildings were the post office, hardware, dry goods store, cotton gin, textile weaving loom and grocery.

Plans are in the works for securing a well known speaker for the 135th reunion celebration. Dr. Leonard R. Teel, of Georgia State University, the biographer of McGill cousin and Pulitzer prize winning journalist Ralph McGill of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, will address the clan.

The Captain William McGill Clan met Sunday, Aug. 21, for their 120th reunion at Boyce Memorial ARP Church in Kings Mountain. The relatives came from Atlanta, Ga., Knoxville, Tn., Williamsburg, VA, Wilmington, NC, and York and Cherokee counties in South Carolina.

The 90 attending rejoiced at welcoming newcomers from four of the 13 original children of Captain William McGill. Their families embarked on the “Pirates Pillage the Plantation,'' a June day's adventure touring the 1,000 acre plantation of Captain William and learning about their ancestry.

Speaker for the meeting was Greg Payseur, President of the Broad River Genealogical Society, who delivered an outstanding talk about the McGill family tree, including DAR and SAR numbers for the Revolutionary War soldiers and other families they married into. He traced the McGills back to Immigrant John McGill from Tyrone County, Ireland.

KM kickers open SMAC with big win over Draughn

KM 56, E. GASTON 7

7 straight TDs highlight romp over Warriors

The Mountaineer men’s soccer team opened SMAC play with a decisive 5-2 victory over Draughn Wednesday at Gamble Stadium.

T h e y came out very quickly as Luke Rikard scored five minutes into the match off a RIKARD fine through ball from Mason Nguyen.

Although they would dominate possession it wasn’t until the 16th minute that Rikard once again found the net. This time it was Josue Molina who beat his man down the right flank and set the table for Rikard to tap in the goal from just three yards out.

Less than one minute later, Josh Scism took a nice pass from Nguyen at the top of the box, cut the defender and slid the ball into the far side netting for the third goal of the match.

Chase Yow got on the score sheet in the 23rd minute as Molina once again won the end line and served up a second tap in for a 4-0 advantage that would hold up until halftime.

“We had a little bit of a slow start, and our early turnovers kept them in the game,” noted Coach Lloyd.

“East Gaston did a nice job moving the ball early to slow the game down. Once we made some plays and got the good defensive play we sort of took them out of the game.”

Kings Mountain scored three touchdowns in a two-minute span just before halftime to take a 28-0 lead into intermission.

Following the loss of downs at the 3:26 mark of the second quarter, defensive lineman Nathan Lease took the football out of the hands of East Gaston running back TJ Sanders and rambled 25 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 3:18 on the clock.

Lease did the same thing to a North Gaston back the week before, but didn’t quite make it into the end zone.

The KM defense held East to three and out and took over with a fair catch See KM/EG, Page 8

KMHS faces tough test at Forestview It’s usually a tough, close battle when Kings Mountain and Forestview meet on the football field, and Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd expects Friday’s game on the Jaguars’ turf to be just that.

These two teams have gone tooth and nail for years, sometimes in conference games and sometimes non-conference. This just happens to be a non-league bout, but next year they’ll be butting heads once again in the Big South 3A. If Mountaineer fans think this week’s game will be a blowout like the first two against North Gaston and East Gaston, they best think again.

Lloyd knows this will

not be a 50-point game.

“They have a very strong team,” Lloyd said of the 1-1 Jaguars, who blew out a good Providence Day team in their season opener two weeks ago and were driving for the potential winning touchdown against undefeated Clover, SC last week before losing the ball on an interception.

“They run a 3-4 on defense, and they are very strong,” says Lloyd. “They are quick on offense with very fast backs and also have a lot of speed and lot of size on defense. They will be hard to move the ball on.”

The Jaguars run a spread See KM/FORESTVIEW, Page 8

strong in every phase of the game. The lead changed hands numerous times in the first set, but KM basically dominated the last two from start to finish.

All of the KM ladies played a big role in the victory.

Gretchen Boyles finished with 13 digs, five service points and 11 serve receptions.

Kaniya McClain, Ka’Myiah Pressley and Lindsey Deaver dominated the net for the Lady Mountaineers. McClain registered six kills and eight service points, Pressley had eight kills and five blocks, and Deaver recorded eight kills, five blocks and seven ser-

After experiencing their first two turnovers of the season early in the game, Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers scored on their final seven possessions to defeat the East Gaston Warriors 56-7 Friday at KM’s John Gamble Stadium.

It was the 60th win at KM for head coach Greg Lloyd, and the team’s second this season. In their first two games, the Mountaineers have piled up 110 points to just 17 for the opposition.

Eight different players had a touchdown apiece for the Mountaineers. Placekicker Micah Randall hit all eight of his extra point attempts.

Kings Mountain’s offense was in high gear all night, but turned the ball over three times in its first four possessions – on a fumble, pass interception and loss of downs deep in East Gaston territory.

The Mountaineers did manage a touchdown on a four-yard run by Darian McClain to cling to a 7-0 lead.

KINGS MOUNTAIN MOUNTAINEERS

KMHS spikers stay undefeated Kings Mountain High’s varsity volleyball team kept its unbeaten South Mountain Athletic Conference record intact Wednesday afternoon at Parker Gym with a 3-0 victory over the previously undefeated Draughn Lady Wildcats.

It was the fifth straight win overall for first year head coach Sara Pasour’s ladies, who went into this week’s play tied with East Burke for first place in the conference. Draughn fell to 3-1 in the conference and 4-1 overall.

The Lady Mountaineers had little trouble after the first set ended with a close 25-22 victory. KM then finished off the visitors by scores of 25-10, 25-16.

Mountaineer kickers beat North, Highland Tech Kings Mountain High’s soccer team went into the South Mountain Athletic Conference play with an undefeated record after defeating North Gaston and Highland Tech in non-conference games last week.

The Mountaineers shutout North Gaston 6-0 before having to go overtime to edge Highland 3-2 to bring their non-league record to 3-0.

Will Robinson took a clearance off a corner kick that rolled straight out from the goal, and hammered home a screamer from 35 yards out for the winning goal against Highland Tech.

Highland’s Jason Ose-

meka got the scoring underway just three and a half minutes into the match as he beat two KM defenders and slid the ball past a diving John Harris.

KM was unable to penetrate the five-back system of the Rams’ defense early and went into the half down 1-0.

Finally, the Mountaineers pulled even with a Luke Rikard goal 17 minutes into the second half. Will Robinson gathered up the long cross and served up a beautiful cross to Rikard who calmly beat the keeper with a lot shot to the far post.

“I was proud of how we really picked up our inten-

sity after scoring that first goal,” said KM Coach Dan Potter.

At the 78 minute mark, Rikard picked up a throw in and hit Brian Lysek who got behind the defense and slotted the ball past the keeper for a 2-1 KM lead.

Seemingly the match was in hand but Osemeka struck again as he used his speed to get past the KM defense. Keeper Harris came out well and deflected the initial shot but Osemeka collected his own rebound to tie the score with just under six minutes left.

Even though it was a non-conference game, the two coaches agreed before-

hand to go overtime in case of a tie.

The previous week at North Gaston, the Wildcats came out strong and Harris had to make several good plays to keep the Wildcats scoreless.

KM’s Holden Bullock suffered a kick to the head that kept him sidelined most of the first half and the entire second half. Nolan Raby had to drop from striker to center back in order to shore up the defense.

The half ended scoreless, but in the second half the tables turned and the Mountaineers found their stride and scored early and often.

Just two minutes in,

Mason Nguyen hit a corner kick from the left side to a streaking Josh Scism, who hit a perfect header to beat the keeper for a 1-0 lead.

Three and a half minutes later, Nguyen took a throw in and headed it toward the North goal that was handled by a defender and a penalty kick was awarded. Brian Lysek beat the keeper to the right side for a 2-0 lead.

Three and a half minutes later, Lysek drove home another penalty kick, this time to the left of the goal.

Four minutes later it was Josue Molina that scored from eight yards out as he took a header from Lysek off a long throw from Bran-

don Quevedo-Johns. At the seventy minute mark, Will Robinson put back a deflection to make it 5-0.

The KM defense was outstanding in the second half, led by Alex Diaz-Garcia, Brandon Quevedo-Johns and Nolan Raby. Chase Yow and Mason Nguyen adjusted their midfield play and shut down the North attack in the midfield.

With a minute and half left, Robinson put back a rebound off a Travis Wright shot to account for the final score.

Harrris and Richard Fernandez recorded the shutout in goal.

KM/EG: Mounties trample Warriors in 56-7 blowout From Page 7 of a punt at the Mountaineers’ 47. On the first play, Coach Lloyd went to his bag of tricks and called a flea flicker. Quarterback Darren Burns handed off to McClain, who lateraled to Malik Phillips on a reverse.

Phillips lateraled back to Burns and he hit Kavin Mosley with a 52-yard pass to the Warrior one. Burns scored on the next play for a 21-0 lead.

On the Warriors’ next possession, Khal Welch recovered East QB Kobe

Creamer’s fumble at the Warriors 32, and on the first play Burns hit Kaylon Wade down the left sideline for a touchdown to run the score to 28-0.

“We got a good effort out of our defensive front, and we ran the ball really well,” Lloyd said. “We saw some improvement but still have to improve in all areas.

Our offensive line sustained their blocks a little longer but we still need to get our passing game going better.

We added some variety and the running backs ran hard.

It was a good win.”

Jerdon Pressley’s strip of

the ball and fumble recovery on EG’s first possession of the third quarter launched a 51-yard, five-play touchdown drive that culminated with freshman Ricaylen Mack’s 24-yard run for a 35-0 lead.

After another Warrior three and out, KM took just five plays to score on a 37yard run by Shun Allison that put KM up 42-0 and put the running clock rule into effect.

A bad snap in punt formation resulted in the KM defense throwing Nick Ferens for a 12-yard loss at the EG 12, from which point

Roman Byers scored for a 49-0 lead.

Houston Carringer’s pass interception and 40 yard return to the Warriors’ 38 set up a six-play drive with Phillips scoring from nine yards out for a 56-0 lead with 3:17 to play.

Randall’s kickoff went out of bounds and East gained possession at the 35. East was able to cover the distance with three pass plays, the last going to Sanders for a five-yard touchdown with 38 seconds remaining.

offense and have a lot of talent.

“They are very balanced,” Lloyd said. “They have two fast backs and a quarterback who is tall and is a good passer. And they have a freshman kicker who kicks the ball in the end zone every time.”

Lloyd said the Mountaineers have to “mix it up” on offense. “We have to

stay on the field and keep our defense fresh,” he said.

“Our offensive line has to keep improving on their blocking. This is going to be a tough test. They’re by far the best team we’ve played.”

Kings Mountain will go into the game at less than full strength. Defensive lineman Nathan Lease hit his head last week and also banged up his shoulder.

“He is questionable this

week,” Lloyd noted. “Reese Rhinehart banged up his shoulder, too. Right now I’d say he’s probable.”

The Mountaineers have been without the services of offensive lineman William Quinn all season. Lloyd hopes to have him back by the first or second conference game.

“That was the best half of soccer we have played this season,” said coach Dan Potter.

In the second period the visitors came out with a chip on their shoulder and took it to the host team. It took them less than two minutes to ruin the shutout for the Mountaineers as Irvin Sanchez got in behind the defense and hit a blast from 15 yards out.

The Wildcats continued to press and finally scored a second goal with just under six minutes to play in regulation. This time Andy Lee stole an errant pass 35 yards out and hit a shot from 25 yards out that would hit the upper left corner to cut the KM lead to 4-2.

The Mountaineers would add a little insurance goal at the 87th minute as Rikard knocked in his third goal of the match off a perfectly placed cross from Dane Skeith.

DREAM

Hopper said John Boy had an aunt who died from cancer. When he heard about the show, he wanted to volunteer his time and talent to help.

“He wanted to support us,” Hopper said. “When he found out Cricket's mother (Patrice McCaskill) was involved, he wanted to come, too.”

From page 1 until the fashion show got well underway. Hopper said McCaskill modeled and when he went to change, brought the Wobble Man back with him.

BLAZING: A NEW TRAIL From Page 1 educational facilities would come first, with the football facility coming last.

The Elite is the brainchild of Kings Mountain High teacher Maurice Tate, who serves as President of the organization.

Tate and many other Elite leaders have pledge forms available. Bank of the Ozarks is the lending institution. Donors can pay by cash, check, credit card or through a monthly draft over a three-year period at Bank of the Ozarks. Checks should be made payable to KM Elite Building Fund.

KM Elite presently serves over 200 children in the greater Kings Mountain area.

Tate stresses that the organization impacts area youngsters in a positive way, stressing educational needs first and athletics last.

“The growth of the program has caused us to spread through multiple facilities,” he said. “Now, we are in the place of planning and transition. We have to choose voice over volume.

The volumes of the world and in our communities are speaking loudly through social media, culture trends, through division and disorder; however, KM Elite will be that light on the hill that cannot be hidden.

“We cannot afford to allow the various volumes of the world to take over our generation. There is a sound of greatness that lives in every child. The sound of greatness lies in every family unit. It lives in every person. It's time to

ramp up our voices to make a psotive difference. We need solutions. We need positive outcomes. True voices produce true outcomes. Voice provides the momentum for the sound waves to enter the heart of man to activate humanity in moving forward. KM Elite will be one of the voices and sound waves for our community.”

The Elite, Tate knows, has become a pillar in the community by serving children in areas such as education, winter and summer recreation, football and cheer, basketball, color team, a drumline academy and summer enrichment.

Vice president Bernadette Peters said adults work with children every day in tutoring, and also go into the schools as mentors and lunch buddies.

Marcus Bell has coached in the Elite sports programs since the beginning, serving children ages 3-11. He said academics always come before athletics. He is proud that this year the Elite has its first athlete, ninth grader Ricaylen Mack, on the high school football team.

Mack and most of the other players on last year's Kings Mountain Middle School championship team came through the Elite program.

“We stress basic fundamentals and teamwork,” Bell said. “We have an off-season conditioning program from April through July. We encourage students to do good in school and stay out of trouble. We want them to be pillars of the community.”

“We're building champions today for tomorrow,”

Marcus Bell, who has been a mentor and coach in the KM Elite Trailblazers program since its beginning, speaks to the crowd at Thursday's pep rally and fund raising campaign at East School. added Peters.

Tate said the Elite needs the help of everyone in the community to join in their effort.

“The great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stated, 'you do not have to see the whole staircase to take the first step,'” Tate said. “This work will take faith and effort to accomplish our goal.

It's grinding time. Grinding means to act of becoming industrious; it's to polish or to be sharpened, to perform, to operate. Faith without works is dead. We need the work and commitment of our community stakeholders and supporters to make this project possible.

“We signed and are

currently under contract to acquire 10 acres of land.

We have other options and possibilities that have been presented but the start of our vision is to acquire this land. We are excited. We are elated to provide new possibilities and opportunities for children and their future by building a place we can call home. We will have better flexibility to offer additional programs and resources consistent with our strageic purpose.

It's time to cross over.”

Sheriff offers Safety Tips for Back To School Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County offers some safety tips for those youngsters who will be walking back and forth to school this year.

“Parents can teach their children the following safety tips which will inform the youngsters of the danger signs to watch for and avoid when walking between school and home,” Sheriff Norman said.

“Drivers should be cautious of children walking back and forth to school,” added the Sheriff. “We can all learn from the safety tips below and abide by them to make Cleveland County safer for all.”

SHERIFF ALAN NORMAN • While walking, remember to always travel with a friend. Two heads are better than one, especially if there’s an emergency.

• A stranger is anyone

you or your parents don’t know well.

• You or your friend must never take candy, money, medicine or anything else from a stranger.

• If a stranger in a car asks you questions, don’t get close to the car (you could get pulled in) – and never get in the car.

• Strangers can be very tricky – they can ask you to walk with them to “show” them something; they can offer to pay for your video game, or ask you to help them find a lost dog or cat.

Don’t be fooled!

• Don’t tell anyone your name or address when you’re walking and don’t think that because some-

ACTIVITIES From Page 11

one knows your name that they know you – they may just be looking at your name printed on your lunch box, school bag or T-shirt.

• If you think you’re in any danger, yell, and run to the nearest store or “safe house” or back to school.

• Always tell your parents or teacher if a stranger has approached you.

“By taking the time to carefully prepare your child on how to handle these situations, you can insure your child’s safety whether they are on their way to school or home, playing on a playground or riding their bikes,” Sheriff Norman concludes.
