Murphrey talks up quality of life, economic development DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com

Rick Murphrey forms a circle in the air with his hands as he talks about the things he says make Kings Mountain work. From a recent expansion of the H.L. Patrick Senior Center and the city forming partnerships with the Kings Mountain Little Theatre to economic incentives that bring new industry into town and extending a long-term youth sports contract to the local YMCA and the city’s partnership with the popular Gateway Trail. “All those parts come together to build quality of life,” said Murphrey, who at 70 has served as mayor since 2000

Mayor Rick Murphrey and is running for his seventh term this November (four two-year terms and two fouryear terms). “Building quality of life has been the biggest goal that the city has taken on in recent years – and reaching that goal is what makes Kings Moun-

tain Kings Mountain. It’s what makes Kings Mountain unique.” Murphrey, who spent a long career in textile sales before retiring in 2008, said he has brought the skills he learned in industry to the mayor’s job in Kings Mountain, a city that in many ways operates like a $39 million business. The city is in fact a business in a way that most municipalities are not. It supplies its residents and businesses with electricity, gas, water and sewer, as well as trash pick-up and recycling services. Like any business, Murphrey says, it has to keep a hard eye on growth. And that means aggressively recruit-

ing new industry to town at a time when much of the country is reeling from one of the biggest economic downturns since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Murphrey ticks off a list of some of the biggest recruitment success stories during his tenure as mayor. • $1.3 billion capital investment stem from the utilities giant Southern Company moving to town in 2008. • $205 million capital investment resulting from a Disney Corp. data center setting up shop in 2011. • $850 million capital investment in the form of a new AT&T data center in 2012. Additionally, an NTE Energy facility that is now under construction dominated

business headlines in the area over the spring and summer. The building of that large operation represents a $450 million capital investment. It is expected to come online in 2018, at which time it would become the city’s sole supplier of electricity while also becoming the city’s largest water customer. Coaxing industry to Kings Mountain creates lucrative customers for the city. It has also created, by Murphrey’s and the city’s calculation, around 3,000 jobs since 2000. While Murphrey acknowledges that industrial recruitment is “extremely competitive,” it is a job he feels at home with. “I’ve been a salesman my whole life,” he said in a con-

ference room in City Hall last week. “At Spectrum I had a great product to sell. In the mayor’s office, well, it’s really just a continuation of that in a way because I still have a great product to sell.” If Murphrey, who has been married to his wife Sandra for 48 years, seems like a highly visible mayor, he says that’s in part because he’s a people person who likes to get involved and see people succeed. He rarely misses a ribbon cutting for a new business that has decided to plant roots in Kings Mountain. And he eagerly takes up the microphone – or takes to the stage in Revolutionary War re-enactments -- at the city’s various festivals and outdoor celebrations. See MURPHREY, Page 8A

Kings Mountain to observe City officials embrace new motto Patriot Day Friday 9-11 The City of Kings Mountain will observe Patriot Day on Friday, September 11. This solemn annversary is an annual commemorative service for those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. “This was a very dark day for Americans and the world”, stated Rick Murphrey, Mayor of Kings Mountain. “We will never forget the attack on so many innocent people” Murphrey continued, “and we honor those whose lives were

lost and stand proud of our service men and women who continue, to this day, to defend and fight for the

freedom we have here in America.” The observance will be held on the plaza in front of Kings Mountain City Hall, 101 West Gold Street at 12, noon. Participants will include the presentation of colors by the Kings Mountain Police Honor Guard, an invocation by Police Chief Melvin Proctor, and Pledge of Allegiance led by Fire Chief Frank Burns. Mayor Murphrey will speak followed by a moment of silence and the memorial ringing of the Fire Bell.

What’s happening at ‘Engage’ ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

'Engage' at First Wesleyan Church, 505 N. Piedmont Ave., is not your traditional church service. “The music is loud, the lights are low, and the teaching style may be a little different but it's all done for the purpose of engaging the culture of today,'' says Pastor Caleb Williams who is speaker/teacher. This Sunday, September 13th is the one year anniversary of “The Engage Experience.” The celebration begins at 9:40 a.m. The Engage ministry began on Sept. 7, 2014 in the student facility and within five short months

Cory Cooper, an employee for Lexington-based Signworks of North Carolina, puts the new sign on City Hall last week. Cooper worked quickly, installing the 15-inch cast aluminum letters on the brick façade. The national motto “In God We Trust” was fitted in bronze lettering on the front of the City Hall building Thursday. The familiar expression was affixed to the public building at no cost to taxpayers. Two groups called “Return America” and the US Motto Action committee approached city leaders earlier this year with the pro-

posal to put the motto up at their expense. And in May, council members voted 6-1 to approve the move. The 15-inch dark lettering made out of cast aluminum was placed above the second story windows of the government building. To date 37 North Carolina jurisdictions have accepted the offer to have the motto placed on a building or in their council

chambers. The cost of installation, according to the groups, was $2,400. Both Gaston County and Cleveland County are having the motto installed in their government buildings. “This motto is an acknowledgment that is consistent with the mindset of our founders of this country and perfectly legal for a See NEW MOTTO, Page 3A

■ BUSINESS

Sign business already making an impression ative input from our side.” In either case, the company’s art director Adam Snyder is responsible for creating the design for a sign that helps to put a business’ best foot forward. “I learned sign making as an apprentice,” Snyder said, who went on to study design at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C. “It’s about taking a concept and fine-tuning it using graphics software to come up with a (product) that our customer wants and needs.” Direct Wholesale Signs has five employees now as it gets its business off the ground in Kings Mountain.

But with about 16,000 sq. feet of building space, they know they have the room and the ambition to grow. “We’re a comprehensive sign company that has lots of experience under our belts,” Caldwell said, adding that the company, which is also run by two other partners Phillip and Trina Caldwell, is looking to join the Cleveland Chamber soon. “We also do sign repair. If we grow at the rate we expect to, we would be hiring more people.” The sign company’s arrival in town could be the best of timing for the Caldwells. Matt, who is the

Adam Snyder, Art Director of Wholesale Signs project manager, said he’s heard from city officials that Kings Mountain will be offering grants to merchants that will pay for half the cost of new signs for their businesses. Plus, Caldwell said the business is ready for just about any custom job, from customers all over North America.

“We’re not limited to local customers,” he said. “We can do a full order here in our shop and ship it to California. We can print on anything that comes in a roll.” To find out more about one of Kings Mountain’s newest small businesses visit www.directwholesalesigns.co

Railroad Crossings Open What is a Gator Getter?

A “Gator Getter” is designed to removed large, potentially dangerous debris from major highways.

RR CROSSINGS – The two intersections of railroad crossings in downtown Kings Mountain were opened by city officials Friday with a ribbon-cutting. The large cement fixtures are more than just barriers. City officials say the crossings will be safer and they already plan for their decorative potential downtown.

CEREMONIAL RIDE – Members of city council took a ceremonial ride as the first vehicle to cross the recently completed railroad.

CLEARING RIGHT-OF-WAY - City crews from the Kings Mountain Energy Services Department have cleared the right-of-way for electric, water and natural gas delivery to the NTE Power Plant going up on Gage Road.

Have you ever driven down the road and noticed trash along the route? It could be big pieces of tires, trash bags or even debris from accidents located in the median or in the lanes. All that can be very dangerous for N.C. Department of Transportation maintenance crews to pick up. That’s where the Gator Getter comes in. The Gator Getter is a high-speed highway debris removal tool that is custom built to attach to heavy-duty trucks. The devise collects debris from general trash to remnants of blown-out tractor-trailer tires and car tires, and it works similar to a snowplow. The driver travels around 55 mph, lowers the device and scoops up the debris. Because the Gator Getter travels with traffic,

NCDOT crews can avoid having to provide traffic control or close lanes for rubble removal. “We take all these other factors out of the equation and then we have a safer operation,” said Division six safety officer Karol Koval. “[It] keeps our workers from exposure of actually stepping in to traffic.” Across the state, NCDOT crews are starting to use this tool along interstates and major highways for maintenance programs. Why is it called a gator getter? A “gator” is a trucking industry term for shredded remnants of truck tires on the highway. Division six, which covers Harnett, Cumberland, Bladen, Robeson and Columbus counties, recently received their Gator Getters and

trained employees in Lumberton. The manual process of removing debris requires workers to position themselves along the highway, some times just inches from on-coming traffic. In addition, manual debris removal often requires lane closures in order to remove large debris. Using a highspeed operation to remove trash and debris from the highway not only increases safety to the traveling public and employees, but it is also improves efficiency, cutting what used to be a four-man operation down to one. This saves both fuel and maintains costs. It can also help in recycling as tires and treads can be shredded and reused as tire-derived fuel for power plants or in construction projects.

Fall Litter Sweep starts Sept. 19 The Fall “Litter Sweep” roadside cleanup will take place Sept. 19-Oct. 3. Mayor Rick Murphrey says the cleanup will increase awareness of the need for cleaner roadsides and emphasize the importance of not littering and

encourage recycling of solid wastes. The cleanup will celebrate the 27th anniversary of North Carolina Adopt a Highway Program and its 5,815 volunteer groups that donate their labor and time year-round to keep

roadsides clean. The mayor has proclaimed Sept. 19-Oct. 3, 2015 as 'Litter Sweep” time in Kings Mountain and encourages all citizens to take an active role in making our community cleaner and beautiful.

been used on U.S. currency since 1864. The slogan is engraved above the entrance of the U.S. Senate Chamber as well as above the Speaker’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. On July 30, 1956, Congress adopted “In God We Trust” as the official national motto of the United States of America. The movement to place

the familiar motto on government buildings has not been without controversy. Some groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have fought city, county and state decisions to use the motto in tax-payer funded spaces, claiming it goes against the spirit of separation of state and religion.

Quote of the week

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it everytime.

The “Wall”

This is the time of the year for fairs The traditional Bethware Fair is now history and by all accounts was highly successful again for the sponsoring Bethware Progressive Club. The Saturday closing day brought crowds to Bethware School grounds as children enjoyed the rides and cotton candy and parents and grandparents watched them have fun. This year marks the Lib Stewart Managing Editor 115th Cleveland County Fair which opens Sept. 30 and runs through Oct. 11 at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. As a child growing up on the farm our family could hardly wait for the fair and

piled up in the car and spent the day on Saturday at the county fair. My favorite ride was the merry-go-round but my sister could get off one big ride and hop on another. Our Mom had special memories of the county fair. She told us that she and her sister rode with their Grandpa in a horsedrawn wagon to the county fair and spent an entire day on a Saturday. A different kind of fair will be held in Kings Mountain in October. It’s time for the annual Woman’s Club Fall Festival which began some years ago as a floral fair featuring some of the prettiest roses from Mrs. Carl Mauney’s garden and by other gardeners in the area who received blue ribbons. Club women are busy getting ready for the annual event.

What I learned from you, we must stop a nuclear Iran This year again I had the pleasure of spending August at home in Western North Carolina meeting with Patrick McHenry you, my US Representative 10th District bosses. Over the span of three weeks, I conducted seven town hall meetings throughout the 10th District. Along the way, I joined numerous Chamber lunches, Rotary club meetings and other public forums where I shared my concerns about the problems facing our nation and – more importantly, heard yours. Throughout these meetings, common themes emerged. Many in the 10th District have lingering anxieties about the economy and the job market. I heard time and again from constituents

Congressman Patrick McHenry overlooking the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem sickened and disgusted by videos exposing Planned Parenthood's treatment of aborted babies. And – thanks to Obomacare- increased healthcare costs to hurt many in our state. While each of these topics raised serious and meaningful concerns, the number one issue I heard ab out was the Obama Administration's proposed nuclear agreement with Iran. Time and again, at each of my sev-

en town hall meetings, I heard deep fears about this deal. Some believe it does not do enough to prevent a nuclear Iran. Others think it endangers our allies in the Middle East, including our most sacred ally Israel. As I mentioned above, I had the honor of joining 35 of my colleagues in visiting Israel during the month of August. Israel is one of our nation's most sacred allies and I welcomed the opportunity

Everyone in the computer world will be testing their systems September 9 to see if the fateful figure of 9-9-99 has any adverse effect upon their operation. Kings Mountain Mountaineers hope to bounce back from Friday’s loss to Gaffney when they travel to Bessemer City Friday night for a non-conference game. Game time is 8 p.m. Hilda Goforth got in the habit of going to Sunday School and church on a regular basis when she was a small child. She

recently received recognition for 49 years of perfect attendance at Kings Mountain’s First Presbyterian Church. Bynum Chapel AME Zion Church will dedicate its new Family Life Center Sunday at 12:30. The City of Kings Mountain will soon be checking out the seven miles of 24 inch water line coming from Moss L ake into the city and this could be the first step in a multi-million-dollar project to bring an entirely new line into town to replace the 30-plus year old pipe. Champion Contracting began site development work recently at the new Cleveland County Industrial Park between Kings Mountain

and Shelby. Champion has 60 days to put in the roads, water, se wer, gas and drainage system for the 240-acre park. If anyone doubts that miracles can and do happen in Kings Mountain, they should have a chat with Paul Gaffney. While working at a construction site, he was accidentally shot in the head with a three inch nail which penetrated to the hilt in his skull. With an injury that could have easily ended his life, Gaffney calmly walked to his brother Mike Gaffney’s truck and rode to the hospital. The freak accident happened at a house Gaffney was building on Gold Dust Circle.

■ MEDITATION My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advoJosh Tucker Pastor cate with the St. Matthew’s Father, Jesus Lutheran Church Christ the righteous; and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, “I abide

in him,” ought to walk just as he walked. 1 John 2:1-3, 5-6 Grace, mercy and peace be unto you from God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen. “You can’t talk the talk until you learn how to walk the walk.” I remember hearing this phrase growing up playing little league baseball, especially as the team would succumb to the temptations of poor sportsmanship and begin to jaw at one another during practice. The coach would always intervene when a player would start to lose focus on their play and try to take over being the coach, telling other players how to better themselves. This usually resulted in some type of sprinting exercise

reminding us of our role as players and the coach’s role as coach. Coach would then say, “you cant talk the talk until you learn how to walk the walk” bringing us back to the reality that our play on the field should be all the talking we need to do. That, fully committing ourselves to the game and concentrating on our own development as baseball players, would translate to good game play on the field which would speak for itself in the eyes of others. This baseball memory came to mind as I read the final verse in our section from 1 John today, “by this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked. To the author of this verse, our actions as followers of Jesus speak for themselves. If we say that we are

Christian, if we confess Jesus as Lord and commit our lives to following him and his ways, then we should walk just as Jesus walked. This rings true especially after reviewing a 2006 study from the Barna Group where non-Christians identified Christians as people who are judgmental and hypocritical. Do we Christians walk the walk or have we fallen to the temptation of putting our words, our confessions, our proclamation of the gospel ahead of our actions? Just like the old children’s camp song goes, “they will know we are Christians by our love, by our love; yes they’ll know we are Christians by our love.” Let us always be quick to walk in the ways of Jesus; let us always walk the walk before we can talk the talk. Amen.

Roadside Assistance Services for Older Drivers Dear Savvy Senior, I would like to get my wife and I set up with some type of roadside assistance service in case we get a flat tire or our battery conks out. Can you recommend some good and affordable services for retirees on a budget? Too Old to Fix a Flat Dear Too Old, Getting set up with a roadside assistance service you can call on day or night if your vehicle breaks down is a smart idea, and can provide you and your wife some real peace of mind. Here are some different options to look into that help you find a plan. Already Covered? For years, auto clubs like AAA were the only option drivers had when it came to roadside assistance, but today you have lots of choices. Most roadside assistance plans provide services like towing, flat-tire changes, jump-starting a battery, lost-key or lockout services, fuel delivery and help with stuck vehicles. Before you start shopping for a roadside assistance plan, you first need to

find out if you already have coverage, or have access to inexpensive coverage that you’re not aware of. For example, if you drive a vehicle that is still under warranty, there’s a good chance you’re already covered. Most auto manufacturers now include comprehensive roadside assistance coverage for free when you buy a new or certified used car. This typically lasts as long as the basic warranty, but not always. Be sure you check. Also check your auto insurance provider, your credit card issuers and cell phone service providers. Many of these services provide different variations of roadside assistance as add-on plans that cost only a few dollars per year, or they’re free. But be aware that many of these services are limited in what they cover. When investigating these options, find out the benefit details including: Who’s covered (individuals and vehicles); how many roadside-assistance calls are allowed each year (three or four is typical); the average response time per service call; and the towing

rules on where they will tow (to the nearest repair shop, or one that you choose) and how far (about 5 miles for basic plan is common, although some plans might cap the amount they pay for a tow at $100 or less). Auto Clubs If you ﬁnd that you aren’t covered, or you want a better roadside plan than what’s currently available to you, you’ll want to check out auto/motor clubs. Most of these clubs offer two or more levels of membership depending on how much roadside assistance you want and are willing to pay for, and they often provide a variety of discounts on things like hotels, rental cars and other services. One of the best known and longest running clubs, AAA (aaa.com) offers comprehensive services and has an extensive network of more than 40,000 roadside assistance providers, which usually means fast response times. Costs vary widely from $48 to $162 per year depending on where you live and the plan you choose, plus an additional fee for adding a family member.

Some other clubs to consider that may be a little less expensive include Allstate Motor Club (allstatemotorclub.com); AARP Roadside Assistance (aarproadside.com) for AARP members only; Better World Club (betterworldclub.com); BP Motor Club (www.bpmotorclub.com); Good Sam (goodsamroadside.com); and GM Motor Club (gmmotorclub.com). On-Demand Assistance Another new money saving option to consider is pay-on-demand roadside assistance services like Urgently (urgent.ly) and Honk (honkforhelp. com). If you use a smartphone and live in their service area, these non-membership app-based services will let you call for help via smartphone, and will only charge you for the assistance you need at a low price. 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.

‘ENGAGE’ From Page 1A amazed at what God has done in the church in such a short time. “I know the best is yet to come,'' he added. Over this past year he has watched God move and transform lives in a way that only He can do. The ministry began after church leaders reviewed the demands of our culture and quickly saw that they must offer something different. The service is a highly energetic, passionate experience that will surprise you every time you walk through the door. Everyone is invited to “come just as you are, regardless of your past.” There is no dress code, dress the way you feel comfortable. “Engage may not be for everyone, so we continue to offer the beloved traditions of the church for those who prefer them, in the classic 11 a.m. worship service,''

Visual graphics, music, practical messages from Scripture and interactive participation features this new ministry which takes numerous, volunteers each and every Sunday. Williams says, “Our volunteers are the most loving and selfless people I know. Without them, we couldn’t do what we do each week.” The Engage Worship team leads in dynamic music that can be felt as well as heard. “We invite the community to celebrate with us every Sunday, beginning this Sunday with our special one-year anniversary service'' said 'Engage' Pastor Caleb. “What's happening at 'Engage' can't be explained, only experienced.” To learn more about Engage visit us at www.theengageexperience.com or facebook.com/theengageexperience.

technology company) and two solar farms, among other diverse businesses. Another economic development project that may or may not be on the horizon for Kings Mountain is a Catawba Indian casino that, if greenlighted by federal authorities, would likely sit at the intersection of I-85 and Dixon School Rd. Although it has the support of most members of the city council, including Mayor Murphrey, it is a concept that has not set well with others who say a gaming complex would be a negative force in the community in the long run. A grassroots group made up mostly of Kings Mountain residents has confronted city and county leaders at public meetings while also using the leverage of social media to oppose the proposed casino. “We look at it as economic development – pure and simple,” Murphrey said, who concedes the decision to grant the land in trust petition is nevertheless entirely out of local hands. “4,000 jobs available. $12 million to $15 million in additional gross revenues is the projection that the city is working with. It would jumpstart (that neighborhood). That’s the big incentive we see there.” Murphrey returns to what he sees as the big picture.

“The main thing is quality of life, “Murphrey said. “They came to our community because we have great quality of life. We’ve made the investments that are attractive to 21st century industries. We’ve made the investment in dark fiber (functioning fiber optic network that is unused but readily available to new businesses) and with Smart Meters, which lets businesses and residents track their energy usage in real time while at the same time saving the city about $500,000 a year.” The city is also entering phase three of a massive $33.85 million water system rehabilitation project that includes water main replacements and an upgrade to the water processing facility that will increase its output from eight million gallons a day to twelve million. Murphrey says his long tenure with city government (he also served on city council from 1993 to 1999) was inspired by a tiny seed his late father Oliver planted in his head when he was growing up in the small eastern N.C. town of Farmville. “He served on the city council there for 30 years,” Murphrey said. “He said if you have the time you should give back to your community.”

The Reverse Raffle is an exciting twist on a traditional raffle; a fabulous array of raffle prizes will be awarded for every fifth ticket drawn from a raffle barrel, and the last ticket drawn at the end of the night wins the grand prize of $10,000.

From Page 1A At the ballot in November, Murphrey will face his predecessor, former mayor Scott Neisler, who had the job from 1991-1999, Eugene “Sherlock” Holmes and Beauford Burton, both of whom are newcomers to politics. City officials, including those who serve on city council along with Murphrey, are realistic about the change that happened to Kings Mountain’s and the region’s economy starting in the early 1990s. “Kings Mountain was pretty much a textile community until the trade acts of the early 1990s led to a lot of industry moving overseas,” said Murphrey, who is a member of the Cleveland County Economic Development Board and the Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce. “The job losses there were just staggering.” With fabric, hosiery and canvas manufacturers moving out, the city has worked hard to fill the void. The tech booms of the 1990s and 2000s helped to bring data centers to the area. The Telerx call center – at one time the city’s second largest employer -- picked Kings Mountain in 2009. The city is also home to a brewing company, another data center (Wipro, an India-based information

Caleb was called to the ministry after completing his education at Southern Wesleyan University and UNC Charlotte and working as a mechanical engineer for 18 months while being co-founding Pastor of a church plant in Shelby. Caleb started his ministry experience at First Wesleyan by leading the students there. He then helped launch and lead the FirstKidz Ministry for PreK-5th grades, a program which is also growing in attendance, followed by launching ‘The Engage Experience’ one year ago and continuing as youth pastor and assistant minister of the church. He and his wife, Jordan, are parents of 3-year-old Baylee and are expecting a second child in February.

THE UNDEFEATED KM, Chase soccer teams battle tonight at Gamble Stadium

Mountaineers beat Jaguars, East Rutherford here Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers completed a three-game sweep of Gaston County non-conference opponents with a 35-10 victory over Forestview Friday night at Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers now turn their attention to the East Rutherford Cavaliers and their first SMAC game this Friday at 7:30 at Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers battled two lightning delays and a good Forestview defense in a game that didn’t end until after 11:30 p.m. The start of the game was moved up to 8 p.m. after lightning was spotted north of the stadium; and 20 minutes later it was delayed again for an hour by lightning to the south. After putting up 103 points and over 1,000 yards of total offense in their first two outings against North Gaston and East Gaston, the offensive production went down against an experienced Forestview defense.

But Kings Mountain’s defense and special teams stepped up to score the Mountaineers’ first two touchdowns; and the defense did a spectacular job on the Jaguars’ outstanding running back Moe Neal, holding him to just 26 yards rushing on 16 carries. Neal got a taste of things to come on the first play from scrimmage, when he took a handoff and was immediately thrown for a two-yard loss by KM defensive end Kahl Welch. For the night, Neal was held to zero or minus yards eight times. Numerous sacks by the Mountaineer defense resulted minus 35 rushing yardage overall for the visitors. “It was a hard fought game,” noted Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “It was a little sloppy by both offenses, but the defense was good. We know each other so well, we both took away See FORESTVIEW, Page 2B

Kings Mountain High’s men’s soccer team has started its season 5-0 for the first time in over 20 years.

Kings Mountain High’s JV football team rebounded from its season opening loss to Charlotte Christian with a big win of its own Thursday night at Forestview. The Mountaineers blanked the Jaguars 30-0 behind the strong passing combination of quarterback Kaylon Wade and wide receiver Mike Toms. The two connected for three touchdowns. The Mountaineer defense also gave a great effort, forcing four turnovers including a fumble that was returned for a touchdown by Jonathan Rikard. Tyler Osborne led the defense with an interception while Sedrick Morgan, Ian Bishop and Isaiah Dun-

ovant forced fumbles. Other defensive standouts included JT Cash, Reese Rhinehardt and Stefan Chisholm. The Mountaineers enter South Mountain Athletic Conference play Thursday when they travel to East Rutherford for a 7 p.m. contest.

FORESTVIEW: Mounties battle two weather delays to topple Forestview From Page 1B some things that other teams may not. We played outstanding defense.” The Mountaineers’ first two touchdowns came just about as fast as the lightning. Chance Fredrick blocked a punt on Forestview’s second possession, and Bryan Sanders picked up the ball and rambled 17 yards for a touchdown to put the Mountaineers up 7-0. Just before halftime, the Jaguars took advantage of a slew of Mountaineer penalties to get to the KM three yard line where they were able to get a field goal from Dylan Disarro with 10 seconds left in the half. Kings Mountain’s Kavin Mosely returned the second half kickoff 67 yards for a touchdown and a 14-3 lead. A twoyard touchdown run by Darian McClain made it 21-3 going into the fourth period. “We got a great effort from our special teams,” Lloyd said. “Then, in the second half we got our game going. I was proud of our effort. All in all, it was a good night, especially holding their running back (Neal) like we did. We had a good game plan by our defensive coaches. We ran to the ball better. We basically dared them to throw the ball. We had eight guys stacked up for him. Our defensive front did a great job. We swarmed him. I’d say during his career there have been very few games, if any, that he hasn’t scored. Jake Merchant did a great job on him. We moved him up to outside linebacker and he spied him all night.” The Mountaineers broke the game open early in the fourth quarter on 20-yard touchdown

reception by Madisyn Bolin, and a 15-yard scoring run by Shaun Grier to go up 35-3 with 7:02 left in the game. Late in the game, a pass interference against KM gave the Jaguars a first down at the KM 27. After two incomplete passes and a two-yard sack by KM defensive lineman Sabien Beam, the Jags’ Jalen Sanders outjumped a KM defensive back for a 29-yard TD pass to round out the scoring. East Rutherford, a team that always plays its best against the Mountaineers, comes to town Friday with a 2-1 overall record. Lloyd expects the Cavaliers to be a tough test. “They always produce a very good team,” he said. “They run some spread and shotgun. They have good backs and good team speed. “They run a 3-3 stack defense which we don’t see very often, so that’s going to be a challenge. They’ll come in here ready to play.” Lloyd said a big key for the Mountaineers is to get back the offensive momentum they had in their first two games. “We have to take care of the ball,” he said. “We got in a hole early against Forestview with a dropped pass and some fumbles. We have to get that of our system and be consistent on offense. “Defensively, we need to keep the momentum from last Friday – run to the ball and tackle well. We had too many penalties and we’ll have to adjust that in practice this week. “We’re still looking to put all three phases (offense, defense and special teams) together every week,” he added. “If we do that our best games are still ahead of us.”

In Loving Memory of Billy Patterson September 1, 1982 – May 3, 2003 You went to sleep one night, never here to wake again. But everything was alright, between you and Him. So you woke in Heaven’s courtyard, free from pain within. The angels gathered around you and they took you by the hand. You are finally at Home serenaded by Angels. Happy Birthday Billy, We Love You!

THE “WALL”

The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com

Page 7B

DO NOT KILL: police officers, black people, white people or any people From Page 1A

From Page 4B and his group asked for design bids for construction, and “now you know the rest of the story.” This is the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. At one time, we were young men who answered the call to go to a far-away place known as Vietnam. Now, as older men, and veterans of an era gone by, we want to honor our dead comrades and visit the “Wall.” If you could help to make this a reality it would be greatly appreciated.

Nevada town two years ago and The Ten Commandments were posted in front of the courthouse. I would tell you the name but I don’t want someone fussing and fuming at those good people for keeping The Ten Commandments up front and public. Actually there are still several state and county buildings where you can find The Ten Commandments posted or engraved even in granite. The Ten Commandments has never kept

this nation from doing anything wrong. People went right on killing; stealing, disrespecting their parents and doing all sorts of stuff that The Ten Commandments forbid us from doing. I totally understand separation of church and state. I don’t want to see something from the Koran on my local court or state house. However, I think this would be a good time to bring back the sixth commandment. We don’t even have to refer to it as the sixth commandment. Let’s just simply start

reposting in our elementary, junior high and senior high schools these three words, “Do Not Kill.” Or, “Do Not Murder.” The minds of little children are very impressionable and teachable. My father put the fear of God into me when it came to smoking. From the time I was a young child he successfully made me afraid of smoking or drinking alcohol. This kind of teaching and impressing is harder when children become teenagers. Teenagers start becoming smarter than their

parents so they think. I realize hanging “Do Not Kill” on every wall and home in America will not eliminate the murder of black people, white people, Hispanics or police officers. However, how could it hurt? Glenn Mollette is an American Syndicated Columnist and Author. He is the author of eleven books and read in all fifty states.
