DeHaan pled guilty to tax evasion WASHINGTON, DC A Kings Mountain, North Carolina man who set up straw companies to evade income taxes and used cash from his business to build an underground bunker, pleaded guilty this week to tax evasion and possession of an unregistered firearm, announced Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo, head of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and U.S. Attorney Jill Westmoreland Rose for the Western District of North Carolina. According to documents filed with the court, Reuben T. DeHaan, 44, owned a holistic medicine business, which he operated out of his residence in Kings Moun-

tain under the names Health Care Ministries International Inc. and Get Well Stay Well. DeHaan admitted that, with the help of others, he set up straw companies and opened bank accounts in the name of the straw companies to hide his income and assets from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). DeHaan also admitted to dealing extensively in cash to evade the payment of income tax. During the years 2008 through 2014, DeHaan earned more than $2.7 million in gross receipts from his holistic medicine business, but failed to file income tax returns for those years

City Council last Tuesday “leveled the playing field” by voting 4-3 to amend a city ordinance to permit Sunday sales of beer and wine at convenience stores that had been restricted under the ordinance because they did not offer food to customers. Previously, only two businesses in the city could sell the beverage to customers on Sunday during the hours of 12 p.m. through 7 a.m. the following Monday and convenience store owners had objected that the policy was unfair. Mayor Scott Neisler opened the discussion by saying that “ I am for it and it's the fair and right thing to do.''

County commissioners seek support of local sales tax on Nov. 8 ballot Cleveland County commissioners are seeking support of a 0.25 percent local sales tax increase as a referendum question on the general election ballot Nov. 8. The board, at a June 21 meeting in which they approved the resolution, said the sales tax increase proposed is for public safety, including money to support volunteer fire departments, and making clear the sales

tax increase proposed is a way to avoid a property tax increase. There is no property tax increase for 2016-17 and the referendum on the ballot is an alternative method of funding volunteer fire departments and not raising county property taxes. Commissioner Johnny Hutchins of Kings Mountain made the motion to accept the resolution and

move forward with placing the referendum on the November 8, 2016 ballot. His motion was seconded by Commissioner Ronnie Hawkins of Kings Mountain and passed unanimously. Commissioners Jason Falls of Kings Mountain, Susan K. Allen and Eddie Holbrook of Shelby voted in favor. “This is a fair tax,'' said Hutchins who noted that this proposed tax is based

on consumption and not the commissioners adding more to the county property tax. “This is a fair way to raise funds for public safety,'' said Commissioner Allen. “If citizens want to go back and read the county charter they will read that it is the responsibility of the commissioners to provide See SALES TAX, Page 7A

Annexation okayed by city CCS graduation rate up City Council welcomed North Carolina State Employee Credit Union into the corporate limits last Tuesday night after voluntary contigu-

ous annexation petition from the business. The ordinance adopted unanimously by the board of commissioners after public hearing extends the city limits by 4.25 acres. The area will be provided with rolling services ( police, fire) that are substantially

equivalent to those within the existing corporate limits. All rolling services can be delivered without additional personnel. The land would be served by the city with public water and public sewer and it is possible to serve the site with commercial garbage pickup.

Looking back From the Sept. 8, 1994 edition of The Kings Mountain Herald Kings Mountain school offices will move several blocks east on Friday, Sept. 16 to the renovated Central School on East Ridge Street. Old Davidson School has served as the school offices since the late 1960s. Central recently got a almost million dollar face lift and its spacious quarters should serve the system well for years to come. Mary Accor, assistant principal of Kings Mountain Middle School, has been named principal of the new Kings Mountain Alternative School which will open at the beginning of second semester of the current school year at the current offices of Kings Mountain District Schools. His acquaintances call him by his childhood nickname “Tiny” but when it comes to gardening J. D. Lefevers of Grover thinks big.

uating the building as soon as the airplane hit the building and was already trying to get out when the second plane hit. Ann Hayes was not in her office at the World Trade Center at the time. She stopped on her way to work to vote. Molly Blanton was working in a nearby building which was evacuated. All three young people called their parents to say they were in a safe place. “I’ve never experienced anything to this extent,’’ the Herald quoted KMPD Chief Houston Corn. “We are more or less monitoring everything

that’s happening and if anything does occur around the Charlotte area then naturally we’d react in whatever fashion we need to.” Although no danger was feared, Mayor Rick Murphrey and city manager Jimmy Maney sent all city workers home except emergency personnel at 2 p.m. to be with their families. Schools operated as usual but Supt. Bob McRae said all staffs were on alert. Church would be a good place to be on Sunday.

■ MEDITATION

“You’re such a ... stone!!!” As I read 1 Samuel 17 this morning about David and Goliath, I was struck (get it ... struck ... a little theological humor there). We have all heard the story, we’ve all been challenged to be more like David, have courage, face the giant, and trust God. And, that’s true, but something else nagged at me. I want to do more, so how ‘bout this, BE THE STONE! Here is my point. V.40 says, he “chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook…and he approached the Philistine.” David left Saul’s sword and armor because it was bulky, heavy, “untested” and he knew he couldn’t fight with it. So he had no offensive weapon. He had nothing to produce serious injury or

death to win the fight ... until he picked up those five smooth stones. Then he was armed, he was “locked and loaded” and prepared to fight ... prepared to meet force with force and destroy his enemy. He went out and faced Goliath, a giant who mocked him, who “disdained” him, his people, and even worse, God. So, this begs the question, can a Christian get angry and fight? You better believe it ... look at David. He got angry, he sought to defend himself, his people, and most importantly his God ... the only true God ... YOUR GOD!!! David knew the victory would come because of God, but he didn’t just sit back, he was prepared to fight, and I would suggest he wanted the fight, so

that he could show how big and powerful his God was. He proved this when he said, “This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD’S and He will give you into our hands.” Then the enemy came, and it says that David RAN TOWARDS the fight (v.48), eager for battle. He took out a stone, put it in his sling, slung it, and “struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.” (v.50). Then David ran to the giant and cut off his head with Goliath’s own sword.

And that’s when I was ‘struck’ myself. I want to be a stone. I want God to use me to strike the enemy with a blow ... and not just a blow, but a fatal one. My personality is not one to want to watch the fight from afar ... I want to be in it, I want to feel it, I want to know that I am dangerous to the enemy, and when given the opportunity and am “slung”, that I will strike him and kill him with God’s power and guidance. I want to be a stone, God’s stone. Exodus 15:3 says, “The Lord is a Warrior; the Lord is His name.” Well, warriors need weapons ... they need stones. I want to be His stone. I never went on a patrol in Afghanistan without any bullets (modern day stones), so why would I go on a spiritual patrol with no stones? I want to be a stone ... His stone. Do you?

■ LIFESTYLES

Tales from the Farmers Market 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold about 7 tablespoons water, ice cold 1. Mix together the flour and salt. Cut the butter into pieces the size of a walnut (about 1 1/2 tablespoons). Mix the flour and butter together in a large bowl, using only your hands, until the butter begins to break up. 2. Add the water, a bit at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Since the exact amount of water needed will always vary, you have to develop a feel for how much to use. 3. Remove the dough from the bowl to a floured surface and knead briefly, just until the dough begins to smooth out. Be careful not to overwork or over handle your dough, otherwise it will become tough. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate immediately. Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes. 4. When ready to roll out the dough, divide it in half. Place one half on a floured surface; return the other half to the refrigerator. To roll out the dough, form each half into a flat circle and quickly roll it out in the shape required. Always roll the dough very thin (about 1/4 inch). Line the pie pan with one half and set aside the second half for the upper crust. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Note: because I could not find my mother’s recipe for apple pie, though I am sure she used the one out of the Joy of Cooking, I adapted this recipe from Epicurious.com and Food. com.)

“Full Circle” The Foothills Farmers Market in Kings Mountain has come to a close. August 25th was the last day of the 2016 season. As with the end of a year, it is a time for reflection. Throughout the season I focused on community, because without community there is no farmers market. We have entered a time in our culture that a ‘farmers market’ is now a marketing angle for real estate. I will be the first to admit, I don’t want to live in a town that does not have a farmers’ market. Farmers’ markets are not just about the farmers under white tents selling local produce, children’s programs on our food system, music, and food tastings, it is about regaining what we have lost and coming full circle. There was a time when we knew our neighbors by first names, we baked cookies and took them over to the new ones, and kids played in the streets. I strongly believe, that one of the reasons farmers’ markets are growing in the United States is the desire to rediscover our roots and rebuild community. Farmers work the fields we see on the way to work or to the next soccer match. Much of that land has been owned by families for generations. Somehow by stopping by the farmers’ market it ties us to that land and fills us with gratitude and belonging. The fall season is fast approaching and I want to leave you with a recipe that is quintessentially community. No gathering is complete without apple pie.

Nancy Fichter APPLE PIE One recipe of your favorite crust (one follows if you would like to try it) FILLING: Instructions: 1. Prepare the pie dough, divide half and roll out each half no more than 1/4 inch thick. Line a 9-inch pie pan with one. Keep lined pan and top crust chilled. 2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel and core the apples and slice them about 1/4 inch thick. Toss with honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and the flour. Fill pie with the apple slices, mounding them somewhat in the center. Dot with butter. Cover loosely with the top crust, using a little water to seal the crusts together. Crimp the edges. Using a fork or the tip of a knife, make several vents in the top crust. 3. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown. BUTTER PIE CRUST I know many will swear by a lard crust, but nothing beats real butter in my opinion. This recipe makes enough for two 9 inch crusts, just enough for one pie. Ingredients: 2 cups pastry flour 1/2 teaspoon salt

High Tea Oct. 9 by Herb Society The Foothills Herb Society will host a High Tea Sunday, Oct. 9, from 2:30-4 p.m. at the Shelby Red Cross building, 1313 Fallston Road, Shelby.

fire protection,'' said Hawkins. He stated at a recent meeting that the county had been lucky thus far with volunteer fire departments and if the county had to have paid fire service he was not sure the county would be able to afford it. Hawkins reminds citizens that this proposed fund amount would be above and beyond what is currently being given to public safety. What does a quarter cent tax equate to in property tax? County Manager Jeff Richardson said 2 cents across the whole county and 4 cents in the fire district. Commissioner Holbrook said he believes this tax would enhance public safety and that it's the right thing to do. Chairman Jason Falls reiterated that a sales tax falls in line with the commission's strategic plan to lessen the burden of property tax and to find alternative methods of funding for volunteer fire departments. He congratulated the county staff on their efforts in researching the possibility of making this alternative funding source possible. Voters will cast ballots for or against the local sales and use tax at the rate of one-quarter percent (0.25%) in addition to all other state and local sales and use taxes on Nov. 8. Also on the ballot are malt beverage and

from the Cleveland County Unit NCAE. Queen also received a gift from the Cleveland County Association of Teacher Assistants. “I believe in giving back to my students, teaching is a team effort because each student learns differently and come from diverse backgrounds,'' said Reed in a recent Herald interview before his selection. Reed added, “It's up to me and my co-teacher Julie Sparrow and our support staff and we're on the same page to reach all 54 of these teenagers so they want to be in school.” Reed, 36, brings excitement into his classroom. When Reed isn't in school he's on the Swarm Squad for the Charlotte Hornets and runs flags for the Carolina Panthers, part time jobs he has held for five years. His job begins when the Panthers score a

touchdown, he brings down the flags across the field and in the recent season when the Panthers won the national championship there were many touchdowns. “The final game was so exciting with the crowds and the celebration with confetti everywhere and I was a part of it,'' he said. The Swarm Team's job for the Hornets is to keep the fans energized by throwing out team shirts into the stands. Reed grew up in Western New York and moved to North Carolina in 2005 and taught grades 3-8 at Lincoln Charter Schools at campuses in Lincolnton and Denver. He started teaching Language Arts, Science and Social Studies at KMHS in 2012 ”With every lesson there is a life lesson,'' he tells his class.

STONE From 5A People have accused me of being “militant” when I preach and speak. Some have said, “you sound so angry.” Well, I guess in a way I am. The church (Christian’s) have become so “nice”, so “politically correct”, that everyone wants to stay behind the lines, peeling potatoes and shining their armor, but no one wants to become a Christian ‘savage’, slinging stones and fighting the giants of sin and the enemy. No one wants to kill the enemy and cut off his head like David did to Goliath because “good Christian’s don’t do that” right? But didn’t David? Didn’t countless men (and women) in scripture do battle for God, and seek to hit their mark and kill the enemy? I want to be a stone ... His stone. So ... say I’m too militant for you. Say

I am too ‘aggressive’, ‘offensive’, ‘angry’, or whatever descriptive is comfortable for you. But never let it be said that I was a coward, afraid of the fight, afraid of doing damage, inflicting injury, or even killing the enemy of Christ. If you want to stay back, behind the lines, inside the wire, polishing your armor and swapping made up ‘war stories’, then okay ... I still love you ... but stay out of my way, stay out of the warrior’s way. Satan is winning our land, evil is everywhere, and it’s because Christians haven’t made their presence known. I want to help stop it. I’d rather die fighting, than live on my knees begging. I want to be a stone. What do you want to be? In Him, Pastor Rob

The board also approved a budget amendment in the amount of $ 531,116 to pay for water and waste water improvements for the NTE project with reimbursement from NTE to follow and moved prior police restricted revenues of $74,263 to current year expenditures to be used for permissible uses under the asset forfeiture guidelines and budget amendment to allow for the

conclusion of all expenditures and receipt of funds allocated for the Library's LSTA Lifelong Learning Grant in the amount of $16,675. Council scheduled public hearing for Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 6 p.m. for an industrial incentive grant for Project STIX. After a presentation by Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks the board authorized the mayor to execute the second amendment to the existing contract for natural gas delivery between the city, Transcontinental Gas Pipeline and NTE. The board ratified the execution of a Moss Lake dredging agreement signed by the mayor between the city and Clark Ledbetter Grading & Hauling and

Penalties, fumbles cost KM in 1st loss Kings Mountain High’s volleyball players go through their post-game ritual after last week’s SMAC victory over RS Central at Parker Gym. (Photos by Gary Smart)

Momentum and field position are major factors in football games. Kings Mountain failed on several chances to gain both early in Friday’s game at Forestview, and their mistakes on offense eventually led to the Jaguars seizing them and rolling to a 28-0 non-conference victory. An early pass interception and return for an apparent touchdown by the Mountaineers’ Kavin Mosley was ruled pass interference, and other drives deep in Forestview territory ended in lost fumbles and incomplete passes. KM fumbled six times on turf left soggy from Friday afternoon’s rain, and lost five of them. The Mountaineers’ early failures, and the Jaguars’ switching from a spread formation to a power I, made the difference. They put big offensive lineman Nathan Whitaker in at fullback. With excellent blocking from a veteran offensive line, the Jaguars were able to control the rest of the game. The result left both teams with 2-1 records. “We had good opportunities early,” said KM coach Greg Lloyd. “We didn’t do anything with them and after they got the lead they were able to do some ball control and get the momentum. It got hard after that. We never could get the momentum back and had trouble blocking their defensive line.”

Kings Mountain High’s varsity volleyball team moved into sole possession of first place in a South Mountain Athletic Conference Wednesday at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium with a 3-1 victory over RS Central. While the Lady Mountaineers were winning, previous SMAC co-leader East Burke was losing to its arch rival Draughn, 3-2. Heading into this week’s action, the two Burke County powers were tied for second place. Kings Mountain has already beaten Draughn and will host East Burke on September 14. That will end the first round of play in the SMAC, but the Lady Mountaineers have to travel to both Burke County schools in the second round.

Mountaineers at East Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers travel to East Rutherford Friday for its first South Mountain Athletic Conference game, and if the past holds true it will be a tough battle. The Cavaliers lost their first game last week at TC Roberson 23-7, so both teams will be looking to turn things around and get an early share of the SMAC lead. Previously, they defeated East Henderson and North Gaston. “They’re a scary team,” says Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “They have a lot of speed. They always play us tough and it’s always hard to play at their stadium. They have a really good offense and a 3-4 deSee KM/ER, Page 2B

Kickers blank R-S Kings Mountain High’s soccer team split a pair of SMAC games last week, losing to Crest 3-2 on Tuesday and shutting out RS Central 5-0 Wednesday. The Mountaineers carried a 2-1 conference and 5-1 overall record into a home game last night with Stuart Cramer. The Mountaineers dominated RS Central on Wednesday. Josue Molina began the scoring in the fifth minute when he tapped in a close shot off an assist from Nolan Raby. The Mountaineers came close on several other attempts but didn’t score again until the 21st minute when Luke Rikard pushed the ball

past the keeper off another assist from Raby. Raby got an assist hat trick at the 34th minute when he set up Rikard for his second goal and a 3-0 KM lead. The Mountaineer defense was stout all night, limiting the Hilltoppers to just four shots on goal. Backs Will Robinson, Holden Bullock, Brandon Quevedo-Johns and Tristan Stenger formed a solid back line that rarely allowed the ball past the midway line. In the second half, KM continued to press the RS defense but the Hilltoppers didn’t break down until See SOCCER, Page 4B

THIS WEEK Kings Mountain at East Rutherford. LAST YEAR Kings Mountain won 42-23 in a game that was delayed by rain on Friday and completed on Saturday.

The Mountaineers held the Jags to three and out on the game’s opening possession and were able to get to the Jags’ 19 with a first and ten. Facing third and eight, quarterback Darren Burns threw two incomplete passes and the Mountaineers turned the ball over on downs. . The KM defense slammed Forestview’s ace running back Jayveon Love for a one-yard loss, and quarterback Mac England hung up a pass down the Forestview sideline. Mosley picked it at the 40 and rambled down the sideline for an apparent pick six, but the officials ruled pass interference and the Jags retained possession.. On their next possession the Mountaineers drove the Jags’ 16, but Forestview’s defense kicked in and slammed quarterback Darren Burns for a 16-yard loss on fourth down. Fans could feel the momentum changing when Whitaker moved to fullback with 9:12 left in the half and Forestview in possession at their own 47. He had gains of nine and six yards sandwiched around Love’s oneyard loss, but face mask and

offsides penalties on two consecutive plays against KM gave the Jags a first and goal at the eight. Whitaker covered those eight yards in two bursts up the middle for a 7-0 lead that basically was the game winner. Forestview went on to get a touchdown from Love in the third quarter and one each from Love and Whitaker in the fourth to account

for the final margin. “Fumbling the ball six times was the biggest thing that beat us,” noted Coach Lloyd.” Although a loss is never good, Lloyd said if the Mountaineers respond in a positive way and go on to have a good year it could help their playoff record. NCHSAA rules allow teams to drop a non-conference

loss from their playoff record. The past two seasons, the Mountaineers swept their three non-conference opponents and didn’t have a loss to drop. “We’ll just have to learn from this and move forward,” Lloyd said. “Nobody got banged up, so that’s a good thing. We’ll put this behind us. We’ll be okay.”

fense that does a lot of slanting and blitzing.” The Cavaliers have a lot of starters back from last year’s team that led the Mountaineers at Gamble Stadium in the first half. The game was halted by a

storm and resumed on Saturday and the Mountaineers came from behind to win. “We’re going to have to play a whole lot better than we did last week if we expect to win,” Lloyd said. “We’re capable of winning every game but we have to buckle up and be ready to play. We need this one to

get some momentum back and get the conference off to a good start.” Lloyd said the Mountaineers should be “close” to full strength. Madisyn Bolin, who was a starting receiver last season, will be able to play this week after getting a late start due to travel baseball.

Lloyd said defensive lineman Nathan Lease, who was injured in the North Gaston game, should be back to full strength; and offensive lineman Will Quinn will be available for the first time after suffering a foot injury in preseason.

Still got it? Show it with KM pickup sports Teams choose up prior to the game. In addition to getting exercise, the program allows participants to meet other people. And, it’s all free. “There has been some talk about creating a league in the future, but right now it’s all for fun,” said Benton. “I created the group as a means for allowing anyone to quickly plan and assemble pickup games, and allow anyone interested to join,” Benton said. “We held our original game (Saturday, Aug. 27) with the help of a kind of sponsorship from Patriots Jacks. “The games so far have gone amazingly well,” he said. “Even with many traveling for Labor Day weekend, we have a larger turnout for this game than for the first,” he said while marking off the playing field. Due to the heavy interest, Benton said he has begun working with City of Kings Mountain Special

Events in hopes of making future games official community events. Benton said his dream is to someday see the interest spread to so many different sports and participants that a complex could be built to accommodate pickup games of all types, and also serve others who “want to have a place where they can just go and choose up and play sports for free. “I am hoping to build our numbers to the point that we can consistently have several events each month, if not each week,” he said. “Our target age group is 15 to 40, but it is by no means limited to that. Anyone is welcome to join our games.” The group tentatively has football, basketball and kickball scheduled for Saturday, August 10. Plans are also underway to soon expand to include softball, volleyball and dodgeball. For game times and other information log on to the group’s Facebook page.

Save A Life - Be A Kidney Donor

58036

Former Kings Mountain High athlete Larry Benton has a new idea for athletes and “wanna be” athletes in the area, and it has the possibility of growing by leaps and bounds. In a few short weeks since Benton began organizing pickup flag football games on weekends, it is catching on like a wild fire. He is hoping the interest will spread to many other sports. Thirty-five men showed up Saturday to play pickup football at Davidson Park, and about the same number of spectators were on hand to enjoy it. Players ranged in age from 15 to the 40s, but there is no age restrictions. Benton invites everyone interested to log onto Facebook and search for Kings Mountain Pickup Sports. You will see that the site already has over 1,100 members and is growing every day. Times and places for the upcoming weekends are posted as they are scheduled.

Many people who need transplants of organs cannot get them because of a shortage of donations. Of the 123,000 Americans currently on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant, more than 101,000 need a kidney but only 17,000 people receive one each year. Every day 12 people die waiting for a kidney. Organ and tissue donation helps others by giving them a second chance at life. To learn more go to www.CarolinasHealthCare.org/Transplant-Surgery.

Kings Mountain running back Qua Brooks (24) picks up some tough yardage in Thursday’s JV game with Forestview at Gamble Stadium.

JVs roll over Forestview for second win Kings Mountain got big plays in all three phases of the game to roll over Forestview 32-6 in JV football action Thursday night at Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers, 2-0, were their own worst enemy on their first two possessions, fumbling the ball away at the Forestview 36 and having to punt from their own 34. But, the Jaguars fumbled that punt and KM recovered it at the Forestview 16. Five plays later, sophomore run-

ning back Qua Brooks, who would finish the game with 124 yards rushing, scored from four yards out for a 6-0 lead. A fumble recovery by Titus Clark at the KM 42 set up a seven play drive which resulted in a 10-yard touchdown run around left end by Brooks and a 12-0 lead at the 4:51 mark of the second quarter. KM threatened to score again late in the half after Lannden Zanders intercepted a pass and returned it

50 yards to the Forestview five, but with just 21 seconds on the clock the Mountaineers couldn’t push it in. Quarterback John Harmon Melton, who hit 10 of 15 passes for 183 yards, and receiver Max Ellis hooked up on a 62-yard catch and run down the seam to put KM up 18-0 with 5:03 left in the third quarter. The KM defense held the Warriors again, and the offense launched a 66 yard drive sparked by a 36-yard run by Brooks to the Jag-

uars’ 30. Melton hit Shyrone Reid with an eight-yard TD pass with 7.9 seconds left in the third quarter to run the score to 24-0. Following Zanders’ second interception at the KM 40 with 8:31 left in the game, it took the Mountaineers just two plays to score as Melton hit Christopher Brittain with a 53-yard touchdown pass down the home sideline. Laz Welch ran a two-point conversion for a 32-0 lead. Forestview’s only touch-

down came with just 1:47 remaining after the Jags recovered a fumble at the KM six. Two runs of three yards each by Elijah McCaskill provided the touchdown. Brittain had three catches for 72 yards to lead KM’s receiving corps. Ellis had one catch for his 62-yard TD, and Bishop had two catches for 42 yards. Kings Mountain’s defense forced five turnovers, including Zanders’ two interceptions and fumble recoveries by Bishop, Clark

and Isaac Watson. The run defense was also strong with good tackling efforts from Nathan Groves, Zach Crawford and others. On special teams, Estevan Vargas blocked Forestview’s PAT attempt. Kings Mountain is home again Thursday at 7 p.m. for its first SMAC game with East Rutherford’s Cavaliers.

SOCCER: Mountaineer soccer splits pair of SMAC games From Page 1B halfway through the period. Molina scored his second goal off a long throw-in from Quevedo-Johns. Josh Scism finished off the scoring three minutes later off an assist from Rikard. Landon Wright had a dinger from 25 yards out and Holden Bullock had some good looks late but they didn’t connect. Richard Hernandez came in with 20 minutes remaining to help John Harris preserve the shutout in goal. “I thought the game was truly a team victory as we pulled together to right the

ship after out disappointing outing at Crest,” said Coach Dan Potter. “I was pleased with their effort and their focus as they played much smarter.” At Crest, the Mountaineers fell behind 3-0, came back to cut it to 3-2 and had a shot at tying the game at the end. Crest came out quickly and scored off a deflected shot at the 24 minute mark on a goal from just five yards out by Ronald Ramsey. Six minutes later the Chargers were awarded a penalty kick and George Odembo drilled it in for a 2-0 lead.

The half ended at 2-0. Crest went up 3-0 early in the second half. The Mountaineers, who hadn’t trailed by more than one goal all season, got things rolling. Luke Rikard drilled a penalty kick that was initially saved by the Crest keeper, but the rebound was pounced upon by Rikard and he cut the score to 3-1 with 20 minutes remaining. KM had several more chances from Molina, Wright, Rikard and Scism, but couldn’t manage another goal until 30 seconds remaining when Robinson put back a partial clearance off a pass from Raby.

The match got a bit physical as Crest received five yellow cards and KM one. As the final whistle blew, the Mountaineers were awarded a direct free kick from 30 yards out. “This was a fantastic effort on the part of both teams but I am especially proud of the never quit attitude exhibited by the Mountaineers,” Potter said. “We played an outstanding half and fell just short as we had more than enough opportunities to score enough goals for a victory. Some nights they fall in and other nights you cannot buy a goal.”

Cheap Cellphone Plans for Seldom Calling Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, What are the cheapest cellphone options available to seniors today who only want one for emergency purposes or occasional calls? I have a cellphone now that cost me $30 per month, but I hate paying for something I hardly ever use. Infrequent Caller Dear Infrequent, For seniors who don’t use their cellphone very often but still want one for emergencies or occasional use, there are a many super-cheap plans available, or depending on your income level you may qualify for a free cellphone. Here’s where to ﬁnd some of the best deals. Super Cheap Plans For seniors who are light/infrequent cellphone users, “prepaid” or “pay as you go” plans are the way to go if you want to save money. With these services, you buy a certain amount of minutes (for talk or text) that must be used within a speciﬁed period of time. While many cellphone providers still

offer these lower cost plans, the very best/cheapest deal available today is through T-Mobile’s pay as you go plan (T-Mobile.com, 800-501-0952). For just $3 per month, this plans provides any combination of 30 minutes of talk or 30 text messages. If you want more, you can pay an additional 10 cents per minute/message when you sign up, or you can make adjustments later. You also don’t have to worry about overage charges with this plan, because once you reach your talk/text limit for the month, the phone stops working. And, if you have a compatible device, you won’t need to purchase a new cell phone. If you’re looking for a little more talk time or text messages, another low-cost option is Pure Talk USA (PureTalkUSA.com, 877-820-7873), which offers a Senior AddVantage 80 Plan. This plan provides any combination of 80 minutes of talk or 240 text messages for only $5 per month. Pure Talk also accepts unlocked phones and they don’t have overage fees.

Senior-Friendly Cellphone If you would rather have a senior-friendly phone with a large keypad and simpliﬁed features, and an “SOS” emergency alert button, the Doro PhoneEasy 626 sold through Consumer Cellular (ConsumerCellular.com, 888-532-5366) is the best, low-cost option. It runs $50 for the phone, with calling plans that start at $10 per month. Free Cellphones If your income is low enough, you may qualify for a free cellphone through the Lifeline Assistance Program. This is a government-sponsored program that subsidizes wireless (and landline) companies who in turn provide free cellphones and usually between 250 and 1,000 minutes of free monthly talk time and texts to low-income Americans. (Some programs in some states charge a small monthly fee.) The free phones and minutes are provided by a number of big prepaid wireless companies like Safelink, Assurance Wireless and Budget Mobile, along with a host of other regional

carriers throughout the country. Most states have several wireless companies that provide the free phones and minutes. If you are eligible, the free cell phone you’ll receive is a basic phone that also offers text messaging, voice mail, call waiting and caller ID. To qualify, you’ll need to show that you’re receiving certain types of government beneﬁts, such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, SSI, home energy assistance or public housing assistance. Or, that your household income is at or below 135 or 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – it varies by state. To ﬁnd out if you’re eligible, or to locate the wireless companies that provide Lifeline government cell phones in your state, visit LifelineSupport.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Every day millions of students use school buses as transportation to and from s c h o o l . Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman Although school buses represent the safest form of highway transportation, there are a number of safety factors of which both student and drivers should be aware. Hoping to ensure school bus safety, Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County encourages caution whenever school buses are present. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an average of 19 school-aged children die in school transportation-related traffic crashes each year and more schoolaged pedestrians have been killed between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than any other time of day. “Children are often eager to get off the school bus because they are excited to tell their parents about all of the fun they had at school that day,” said Sheriff Norman. “It is crucial that parents re-enforce the school bus safety rules children learn at school.” Sheriff Norman also suggests that parents drive their child’s bus route with them to practice the proper safety precautions they can take to help ensure their child enjoys a safe ride to and from school. Sheriff Norman__ encourages all parents to discuss the following safety measures with their children: Student • Always arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes early. • While the bus is ap-

proaching make sure to stand at least three giant steps away from the curb, wait until the bus has come to a complete stop, the door opens, and the bus driver says that it’s OK to board. • Always walk on the sidewalk when preparing to cross the street near a bus. Make eye contact with the driver so that you are sure he or she sees you. • Never walk behind the bus. • If you are walking beside the bus, walk at least three giant steps away. • Use the handrail when entering and exiting the bus. Take extra precautions to make sure that clothing with drawstrings and book bags do not get caught in the hand rail or door. • Never stop to pick something up that you have dropped when a bus is stopped. Tell the bus driver or wait until the bus has driven off to avoid not being seen by the driver. Motorists • Remember that children are unpredictable in their actions.

Campus Safety: Do you know how to avoid a dangerous situation? This fall thousands of students will leave their families and friends to attend college. For many, it will be their first time away from home and also their first experience with total independence. It’s an exciting time and a dangerous one. Concerned with this safety issue, Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County urges college students to exercise caution when living on campus. Across the United States, college campuses are increasing security measures by installing emergency call box systems designed to immediately contact a 911 operator. They are usually located in frequently traveled areas such as parking lots and main routes used to and from class. Another popular security measure involves campus escorts. This program recruits qualified volunteers to walk students to and from class after dark. Security cameras and bright lighting are also being used to heighten campus safety. “College campuses are extremely vulnerable to crime because of their openness,” said Sheriff Norman. “It’s difficult to keep buildings and dorm rooms locked because people are constantly coming and going. Another contributing factor is that students tend to develop a false sense of security because of the seemingly peaceful surroundings.”

Campus crimes can take many forms – theft, date rape, and drugs to name just a few. It’s impossible to avoid all dangers. However, Sheriff Norman has some suggestions on how college students can better protect and educate themselves through campus safety education. • Never post information as to your whereabouts on your dorm room door. If an intruder knows that you are away – it’s an open invitation for them to break in. • Even if leaving your room for only a few minutes – lock your door. • When studying in outof-the way places, inform campus security as to your whereabouts. • When meeting a study partner for the first time, make arrangements to meet in a public place. • Encourage campus security to establish a photo identification program to deter outsiders from entering school buildings. • Work with your local law enforcement to organize a safety education program to teach incoming students the do’s and don’ts of campus safety. • Familiarize yourself with emergency call box locations. • Learn to trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of it. Don’t allow anyone to violate your comfort zone.

MUSEUM BENEFIT - This photograph was taken at last year's highly successful KM Historical Museum benefit held at the Patrick Senior Center. Tickets are close to sell out at Saturday's 13th annual event which starts at 5:30 p.m. and features dinner, auctions, cake walks, and a chance for the big prize of $10,000.

Fun, friends, adventure, be a Girl Scout, organizational meetings set in KM Volunteers are the heart and soul of Girl Scouting and Christy Liverman of Casar is one volunteer who has served as a troop leader to 21 girls in Troop 01829 for four years. She works in partnership with her co-leader Amy Grooms who helps with badge work, while Liverman manages the leadership and details of the troop. “Girl Scouting teaches girls life skills and builds confidence to one day be leaders,'' Liverman said. “I love seeing the girls work as a team to accomplish what they need and want to do.” In kindergarten when Liverman's daughter, Kylie, asked to join Girl Scouts, she said making that choice was a simple one. “I started Girl Scouts in first grade and stayed in the program all the way through high school. I wanted her to have the same opportunity,'' Liverman said. “My mother was the troop leader, and she made sure that we had experiences that we might not

otherwise have without Girl Scouting.” As a Girl Scout, Liverman earned the Girl Scout Silver award, the second highest girl award. She knew a woman who had a daughter with cerebral palsy and carried her upstairs several times a day. Liverman collected donations for materials and recruited volunteers to install an elevator. She also earned her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest girl award. Her project focused on a remodel of a local shelter for victims of domestic violence. She collected donations of bed linens, curtains, blinds and toys, as well as painted a mural in the playroom and gathered additional clothing and food for the women and their children. Liverman said that each of her co-leaders and herself commit to several volunteer hours throughout the month to lead troop meetings, manage paperwork and coordinate troop efforts with the

As summer comes to an end, a new school year begins, including opportunities for local girls and adults to become active in the Girl Scouting program. Pictured are members of Troop 01829. girls guiding many of the decisions. “Even more importantly,'' she said, “Girl Scouting is relevant to shaping both the girls and the adults themselves in their daily lives.” This summer, the troop ventured to Columbia, SC for an overnight event at the Columbia Zoo. The girls worked collectively to raise funds for the trip. They also plan a troop family camp every August. But, travel is only a small focus of the girls' year-round experience. Every year the girls have donated hours of service in their communities to help others. They collected clothing for the Goodwill, helped with a church cleanup and completed various other projects. Liverman said spending time with her daughter and the other girls is an investment in teaching them positive skills and traits and part of making lasting memories
