Hamrick honored with Old North State Award Larry Hamrick Sr., Kings Mountain businessman, was honored Thursday with the Governor’s top award to a civilian - the coveted Old North State Award. State Rep. Tim Moore made the surprise presentation on behalf of Gov .Bev Perdue to Moore at the regular weekly meeting of the Kings Mountain Rotary Club. “This is a distinct honor for me to present an award to the best gentleman I know who has exemplified both professionally and in his personal, religious and civic life his commitment for many years working for the community,’’ said Moore. Calling Hamrick a “pioneer” in Kings Mountain who helped turn the business community around with his leadership, Moore said the award is for “dedication and service beyond expectations every day of his life when some said they can’t and Larry said we can.” Hamrick won the Gateway award in 2006 for his contribution to downtown revitalization efforts and was 2011 Main Street Champion. Having seen the effects of suburbanization in the 1970’s, he chose to keep his business downtown and in the 1990’s he assisted with the formation of the business and Professional Association and contributed to the creation of The Mountaineer Partnership from 2000-2003 and served the non profit revitalization entity as

Police, SWAT teams called in for standoff “I could easily have lost an officer,’’ said Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman following Saturday’s standoff with Steven Charles Randolph, 49, who fired his high caliber rifle at Lt. John Humphries as he got out of his patrol car to respond to a domestic call. Norman said that another deputy who arrived on the scene moments later returned fire back and the standoff lasted for more than an hour as the suspect fired multiple shots in the ground and declared he “wasn’t going down without a fight.” The incident happened at a house on Raft Place, west of Boiling Springs. Norman said that negotiation and SWAT teams were called in and surrounded the residence and eventually the suspect walked off the front porch, placed his firearm on the ground and surrendered.

This pair of pit-mix dogs were rescued from an abusive home in Lawndale. Their prior owner was convicted of abuse and served jail time. They are now healthy & ready for adoption. Pictured below are volunteer Jennifer Hord and shelter worker Deb Hardin with two of the puppies that are currently available for adoption. All of the pets shown here are healthy, happy and ready for adoption into their ‘forever’ homes!

Ed Aiken of Mount Holly built his 1903 Oldsmobile replica from scratch by himself. Bits and pieces came from places as diverse as a junkyard in Kings Mountain and an old lawn mower.

Aiken creates ‘one cool car’! By Alan Hodge Alan.bannernews@gmail.com

When 71-year-old Ed Aiken of Mount Holly decided he wanted a cool car, he took matters into his own hands- literally. A skilled carpenter and all-around handyman, Aiken was hit by an inspiration to construct an automobile. Not just any auto, but a 1903 Oldsmobile replica. So, using a set of sketches as a starting point, he set to work. “I was looking for a fun project,” Aiken said. “It’s just something I wanted to tackle.” The first step in Aiken’s automobile construction journey was to assemble the materials he needed. “I went to Kings Mountain and got the aluminum for the fenders,” he said. “The wheels and tires are the type that come on a garden cart.” For the frame, Aiken took some square steel tubing and welded it himself. The body of the Olds is made of red oak that Aiken sawed, shaped, fitted together with screws and wooden plugs, then gave a good coat of stain and varnish just like a

piece of fine furniture. When it came time to choose a suspension system, Aiken turned to old-time technology once again. “The springs came from an Amish buggy seat,” he said. One especially challenging bit to build for the Olds was the gas tank. “The tank is made out of sheet copper I bent into a tube,” Aiken said. “Then I put caps on the ends and soldered everything together.” The engine on the Olds came from an old lawn tractor that Aiken’s neighbor donated for the project. The engine puts out about fifteen horsepower and can propel the Olds at the breakneck speed of about 20 miles per hour. “I had to rebuild the carburetor but other than that it runs great,” Aiken said. Final drive is by belt, chains and sprockets with a five-speed gearbox. Steering is via a tiller just like in 1903. Anther amenity on the Olds is an antique horn that came from the home of relative Irvin Brendle. The brass still shines, but Aiken had to source a new rubber bulb.

Cleveland County Animal Control has many just waiting for a ‘forever’ home! CCAC partnered with Tractor Supply and Clifford Fund volunteers to hold a pet adoption day last Saturday. The animals were brought from the shelter and were displayed in the parking lot of Tractor Supply on E. Dixon Blvd. in Shelby. In all 8 dogs and 1 cat were adopted during the event, including Charlie, pictured on the front of todays paper.

Cleveland County commissioner Johnny Hutchins, said the initiative is an attempt to improve adoption rates and prevent pets from having to be euthanized. Hutchins said the shelter plans to have an adoption day each quarter about the time of rabies vaccination clinics. Contact CCAC to see how you can adopt or foster a pet or to make a donation to their care by calling 704-481-9884.

Aiken isn’t sure exactly how many hours it took to build the Olds, but the project launched in October 2011 and was unveiled in April 2012. By the way, the Olds has a name- “The Sadie Mobile”. Others have appreciated the skill and hard work it took to get the Olds rolling. The car won a special constructor’s plaque at a local show. Aiken doesn’t like to sit still, and has started another project hot on the heels of the Sadie Mobile. This one is a 1931 Model A Ford he and son-in-law Marcus Brendle recently picked up in Piedmont, S.C. Overall, the Model A is already in great shape but the ignition system needs fettling. “Marcus touched one of the spark plug wires and it knocked the fire out of him,” Aiken said. As for the future of the Olds, Aiken has already made plans to keep Sadie in the family for years to come by passing it on to Marcus’ wife, his daughter Penny. “I never told Penny I would buy her a car when she was a teenager,” Aiken said. “So the Olds will be hers.”

‘A Night with Bob Inman’, Oct. 20 Kings Mountain Little Theatre will sponsor “A Night with Bob Inman” October 20. Tickets are $25 each and are available at the KMLT box office and at Alliance Bank. Call 704-730-9408 for further information. The popular newsman, novelist, screenwriter, playwright and retired news anchor, will attend a performance Oct. 20 of his play “Dairy Queen Days” and will meet patrons and sign copies of his books. Coffee and dessert will be served. Many remember Inman as the longtime news anchor for Channel 3, WBTV, in Charlotte. He retired after 31 years of journalism in 1996 to devote full time to creative writing. He has authored four novels, seven stage plays, and screenplays for six motion pictures for television. Two of these have been Hallmark Hall of Fame Presentations. Many will remember ‘Home Fires Burning’, a 1989 adaptation of his novel. The other Hallmark production, ‘The Summer of

Ben Taylor’, won the Writers’ Guild of America award as the best original television screenplay of 1997. In “Dairy Queen Days,’’ Inman weaves a rich and evocative tale of a teenage boy’s struggle to forge his own identity beneath the searing Georgia sun. The year is 1979 and the stable moorings of 16-year-old Trout Moseley’s life have been torn loose. His mother is in an Atlanta psychiatric hospital for reasons he cannot fathom. His father, a 300-pound Methodist minister who rides a motorcycle, has begun delivering sermons comparing Jesus to Elvis and the Holy Ghost to his college football coach. Moving back to the small Southern town that bears his family name, Trout is caught between ancestral traditions and the need to create an identity of his own. Through Inman’s skillful writing, the characters pulse with life, crackle with energy and leave an ineradicable stamp upon Trout’s impressionable soul and he watching audience as well.

Attorney to answer questions on veterans benefits Attorney-at-Law Jesse Bone will explain to veterans how to get the benefits they deserve at a meeting Thursday, Oct. 4. The meeting, which is free of charge and open to any veteran or family member, will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Life Enrichment Center Adult Day Health Service in Shelby. Life Enrichment Center is located at 110 Life Enrichment Blvd., just off Fallston Road, between Teddy and Meekins Law Office and Cornerstone Dental Associates. Handicap parking is located behind Life Enrichment near the meeting room. For more information, please call Linda at 704.484.0405 or email: linda@lifeenrichmentcenter.org.

‘Cute Critters’ invited to visit Gateway Festival

BUSTED: partying after the game results in teen citations From page 1A under $5,000 secured bond. Her son was arrested under $2500 secured bond. Their court appearance is Sept. 21 in Cleveland County District Court. “We hope we saved someone’s life, that’s our goal,’’ said Lt. Chris Hutchins, of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department, who said there could have been as many as 100 teenagers inside and outside the Gilbert house and many of them with cars. Hutchins said he learned about the party from a Facebook and Twitter post by one of the party-goers on the Internet. He said the department also received a tip that a large crowd was at the residence. A back up call brought other deputies and state highway patrolmen to the scene. They also assisted in

processing those cited and in notifying guardians. “I was called after 1 a.m. to pick up my granddaughter who was supposed to be at a friend’s house,’’ said one Kings Mountain grandmother, adding, “she’s been disciplined, no car, no cell phone.’’ The teen said she wanted to experience what others were experiencing at parties and the talk at school was that Friday’s party was the biggest and best. The cheerleader said some of her friends aren’t on the team this week and that some players were benched by their coaches. KMHS Principal Ronny Funderburke said he could make no comment. Said Sheriff Alan Norman, “Our goal is to save kids’ lives, not to mess their careers up, it’s just unfortunate.” “Let’s hope this incident was a lesson they remember,’’ said officers.

St. Peter Missionary Baptist dedicates new sanctuary GROVER - Pastor William Thompson and speakers at worship services called Sunday’s dedication of the new sanctuary at St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church, 116 Poplar Drive, a “grand day for celebration.” The $800,000 debt-free church project included the church building of which Crescent Metal Structures, Inc. was contractor, and also new pews, chandeliers and addition to the parking lot. The handsome building adjoins the Family Life Center built in 1997. ‘It’s really been a labor of love for our congregation of 400,’’ said the pastor, who said the next project will be renovation of the old sanctuary for a Youth Empowerment Center, a computer lab and lounge for 250 young people to hold services on Sunday at the same time as adult worshipers. The facility will also house special events and even homework sessions for youth in the afternoons. Thompson said that renovations to the old sanctuary is targeted for completion

The new sanctuary of St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church in Grover was dedicated Sunday. The $800,000 debt-free project was celebrated by the large congregation and visitors. by next summer. “Sometimes children get bored in adult church and this is a new generation, a global generation of young people and our church is very youth driven,’’ said Thompson, explaining a real need for an Empowerment Center. He added, “They need a place to hang out and we have a passion and a vision to bring more youth from a wide area of the community - Blacksburg, SC, Kings Mountain, Earl, Shelby,’ he said, adding that in the new Em-

powerment Center worship services will identify with youth in the way they worship, not who they worship. “We are excited how God has blessed us,’’ said Thompson. Ken Payne, Multi-Cultural Minister of the NC Baptist State Convention, was the speaker at the 11 a.m. service. Kathy Feemster, a daughter of the congregation and co-pastor of Miracle Tabernacle in Kings Mountain, was speaker at the 8 a.m. service. The ceremonial “burning

of a note” to represent a debt free congregation, was held at the 2 p.m. dedication service. The church is located just inside the city limits of Grover. Thompson conducts an 8 a.m. service for some 150 worshipers and a 11 a.m. service for some 300-400 worshipers each Sunday. Youth services on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. attract some 85 young people. Other events for youth are also held on Mondays and Tuesdays, including karate and other activities.

Shelby at Kings Mountain Friday Kings Mountain and Shelby renew the longest rivalry in North Carolina Friday night when the Golden Lions come to the east side of Buffalo Creek for a 7:30 kickoff at KM’s John Gamble Stadium. Both teams are in need of a victory as they hit the stretch run of their conference seasons next week. The Lions come in with a 1-4 overall record, but Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd warns not to pay too much attention to that because the Lions have played some of the top football teams in the state, including A.L. Brown, Crest, Ashbrook and Freedom. The Lions’ lone victory was over perennial 2A power Lincolnton. “They’ve played a very tough schedule,” Lloyd says. “They’re battle tested, and that’s a big concern for us.” The Lions have their usual speed in the backfield, and have been successful

in their new spread offense with Spencer Clark completing a lot of passes for big yardage. Their 4-3 defense is good, as usual. Kings Mountain comes in with a 23 overall record and will have several key players on the sidelines. Phillip Quinn injured his ankle in last week’s game with South Point and is questionable at best for this week. Safety Jose Sappia had a possible concussion Friday, and if that proves to be the case he will have to sit out this week. Defensive back Curtis McNamara will be out because he was ejected from last week’s game. Defensive end Dion Murray missed last week’s game with a shoulder injury. Lloyd hopes he will be back. “We’ll have to have some people step up,” Lloyd said. Lloyd has been pleased with his offense and special teams of late. The

Mountaineers have had a good balance of running and passing. Junior DaShon Guest has accumulated 737 yards rushing in five games and senior quarterback Jonathan Clark hit the 1,000-yard passing mark for the second year in a row in last week’s win over South Point. Sophomore Xavier Johnson (348) and senior Trevin Torres (312) have combined for 660 yards on pass receptions. “I was pleased with how we ran the ball last week,” Lloyd said. “We were very balanced on offense but we still left a couple of touchdowns out there. We blocked really well and I was pleased with our special teams. Clark threw the ball on the money.” “We just couldn’t get South Point stopped,” he added. “Their fullback hits the hole so quick. You have to give them credit. They’re averaging 50 points for a reason.”

Quick-strike Bray, Red Raiders whip KM 49-21 in BSC opener It took South Point only two plays to score on its opening possession and the Raiders rolled from there to a 49-21 victory over Kings Mountain in the two teams’ first Big South 3A Conference game Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. Things looked good for the Mountaineers early when they took the opening kickoff and picked up 20 yards on their first two plays. But the offense bogged down and was forced to punt, and South Point’s talented junior fullback Tyler Bray covered 72 yards on two runs up the middle to give the Raiders and early 7-0 lead. Bray went on to gain a Gaston County record 336 yards rushing on 26 carries as the defending BSC champions improved to 5-0 overall heading into another BSC encounter this Friday against Hunter Huss. Kings Mountain fell to 2-3 overall and will host Shelby in its final non-conference game Friday. South Point’s redbone offense was almost impossible to stop. The Raiders scored on four of their six first half possessions to take a 28-13 lead into intermission. The only times the KM defense was successful in stopping the redbone was when the Mountaineers stopped Bray a yard short of a first down on a fourth and three carry at the KM 15 yard line midway of the second quarter, and a missed 44-yard field goal attempt on the last play of the first half. Bray finished with three touchdowns on runs of 68, 15, and 7 yards. Kings Mountain’s offense played well. DaShon Guest rambled for 145 yards rushing but was kept out of the end zone; Michael Torres had a 2012 single game high of 113 yards receiving on eight catches, scored on a 35-yard catch down the South Point sidelines, and caught a two-point conver-

Kings Mountain’s Cassie Morton won last week’s cross country meet in Gastonia.

Morton, Smith finish 1-2 in Forestview meet Kings Mountain’s Cassie Morton and MacKenzie Smith ran 1-2 in a 7-team cross country meet at Gastonia Forestview Tuesday. Morton, last season’s Big South 3A Runner of the Year, finished the course in 22:53. Smith was just seconds later in 23:29.

Phillip Quinn had three catches for 41 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown run after catching a short screen pass from Jonathan Clark which cut the Raiders’ lead to 28-13 in the second quarter. Good defense by the South Point secondary turned back two scoring opportunities by the Mountaineers deep in South Point territory. One occurred after the KM defense stopped the Raiders cold on the opening drive after halftime. South Point was forced to punt, and KM took over at its own 19.

Grace Christian Mountaineer netters lose 6-3 at Patton Academy begins athletic programs

Kings Mountain dropped a 5-4 decision to Patton in a tennis match last week in Morganton. The Lady Mountaineers were playing without their #1 player, Maddie Lutz, who was playing with KMHS in a Big South 3A golf match. “Our players had to move up one position,” noted Coach Rick Henderson. “Even though a couple of the matches were lopsided in singles, there were four out of the six singles that went to tie-breakers, which is encouraging for us. Not having a top player

like Lutz can really hurt a team, especially when everyone has to move up one position, I was very proud of our team’s effort.” Hannah Mosley and Alyssa Greene won their singles matches and Greene teamed with Cheyanne Stirewalt for a doubles victory.

Adrienne Green had eight kills and Olivia Blalock seven. Tyerah Blake had 24 digs and three aces and Logan Smith recorded 17 assists, seven kills and two block assists.

The Grace Christian Academy Eagles are one of the newest members of the Western Piedmont Athletic Conference (WPAC). This year is monumental for GCA as they have increased their athletic programs significantly. Programs being offered this year are cross country, volleyball, basketball, cheerleading and golf. Other programs GCA is planning to offer in the spring include softball, baseball and soccer. The Academy is also providing non-traditional activities through athletics and after school clubs. These programs include archery, outdoor adventure, camping and more as they utilize the nearly 100 acres of developed and undeveloped property located on 260 Range Road in Kings Mountain, also the home of Christian Freedom Baptist Church. GCA is very excited to be able to extend an invitation for participation in their programs to any homeschool students and any public school students that do not have that specific program offered at their school. This decision was made in efforts to allow all students the opportunity to participate in athletics with others. So far this fall there have been several home school students participating and the programs are off to a strong start. Daniel Woodard, GCA’s new Athletic Director commented, “Our goal at GCA is to use athletics as a way to help people grow in Christ. This fall we have already seen some amazing things that God has done and are excited about what He will continue to do.” The fall season is already underway and the Eagles placed 2nd in their first Cross Country meet last Tuesday in SalisSee GCA, 5B

Xavier Johnson returns a kick in Friday’s game with South Piont at Gamble Stadium. From page 1B with Johnson catching a four-yard touchdown pass and Torres catching a twopoint conversion to trim the lead to 35-21. Trailing 42-21, Kings Mountain marched back down the field on its next possession but lost a fum-

ble and South Point took advantage of that to put its final score on the board, a 7-yard run by reserve quarterback Diontrea King which was aided by three personal foul calls (45 yards) against the KM defense, and the ejection of one Mountaineer defensive back.

Brad McKee is the cross country coach as well as a professional runner. Some may know him by his heroic performance in the Boston Marathon this past year. McKee noted that “the

course is one of the most challenging I’ve ever run and this will give our team an advantage as we prepare for other teams.” Coach McKee’s determination to persevere has certainly set a tone for Grace Academy and the athletes running this season.

Brown needs assistance for double lung transplant Jackie Brown, 34, says it would be easy to “sit down and quit.” Her strong motivation to continue her job at Walgreens in Shelby wearing her portable oxygen machine keeps her focused. The Polkville resident, diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as an infant, needs a double lung transplant. A graduate of Burns High School and Cleveland Community College, Jackie led the youth choir and now her soprano voice is missing from the choirs because she doesn’t have enough breath or lung capacity to sing or take long walks. Even with insurance, the cost of a double lung transplant is phenomenal and Jackie and her parents, Jack ad

Sherry Wilkie, will need assistance for a $7,000 required hospital deposit and $1,000 a month for at least a year for antibiotics and anti-rejection medicine and for relocation of Jackie and her mother to Durham because for a period of time the young woman will need to be within 15 minutes of Duke Medical Center. Jackie’s sister and brother-inlaw, Jason and Michelle Clontz, are also from Polkville and all the family is active in Calvary’s Cross Baptist Church which is heading up benefits for Jackie. Several fundraisers are planned in the county to give Jackie “the breath of life.” A chicken pie supper and bluegrass

gospel singing featuring The Griggs, Timber Ridge and the Gospel Hymn Boys will be held at Big Springs Baptist Church with Jackie’s church, Calvary’s Cross Baptist church, assisting was held on Sept. 15. A pancake breakfast benefit will be held Sept. 22 at Fatz’s in Shelby. Tickets are $8. A bake sale will be held in front of Walmart in Shelby on October 6. Monetary donations may be sent to The Jackie Brown Fund, c/ Calvary Cross Baptist Church , PO Box 367, Polkville, NC 28136. At right: Jackie Brown

Dancing with the

Stars County Commissioner Johnny Hutchins and Juli McRae Moore, wife of State Rep. Tim Moore, of Kings Mountain, danced a rhumba and to the music of “Johnny Be Good” in the Saturday fundraiser in Shelby to aid students living in poverty. Crowds packed the Don Gibson Theatre. Proceeds fund Communities in Schools programs and services. Hutchins, chairman of the board of commissioners, and Mrs. Moore said they had fun dancing with 10 couples competing for prizes but most importantly for a cause.

BIRTHDAYS

Price turns 88 Richard Price, 88, may be the senior retired florist in the Kings Mountain area. His hands can’t move as fast now to fashion beautiful arrangements for weddings and churches. But he still enjoys flowers in the home at Elizabeth Apartments he shares with Olin Lanford. ‘I stay at home and try to go to church as much as I can,’’ he said on his birthday this week which he celebrated with Lanford, 73, and their caregiver for three years, Tom Rabon. “Richard has a strong faith in God and doesn’t know what the word quit means,’’ says Rabon. He calls Price and Lanford “an inspiration.” Lanford says they enjoy visits from friends and from Pastor Kenny Bell and members of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, Smyrna, SC, who often hold prayer services in their home. “On a good day,’’ says Lanford, ‘’ we go out to eat or to Senior Center or Life Enrichment Center and everyone welcomes us.” Both men love music and enjoy religious services and music programs on television. “We’ve always helped each other,’’ says Lanford, who is legally blind. His friend has severe hearing challenges and is in a wheelchair. Born in Cherokee County, SC Sept. 5, 1924, Price has worked for a number of florists over the years, including Stowe’s in Gastonia, Kathleen’s in Spartanburg, SC and Blossom Shop in Rutherfordton. With no formal training in the florist business, he started arranging flowers from the yards of neighbors and placing fresh flowers in churches. His favorite part of the florist business , he says, was arranging flowers for weddings.

Mother-daughter brunch set for Oct. 6 Katherine Hardy Pendergrass, Operations Manager at Created to Praise Dance Academy, has announced a Mother-Daughter brunch to be held on Saturday, October 6, 11 a.m.1p.m at the Patrick Senior Center. She says this event is in honor of her mother, the late Annie Lee Mitchem, and will celebrate the special bond between mothers/mother figures and

daughters. Attendees are asked to come with their Mom or daughter and if theirs isn’t nearby, they can adopt one for this special event. It can be a grandmother, godmother, stepmother, big sister or auntie. ‘Mrs. Annie’ was a very active 87 year old who died as the result of injuries she sustained in a car accident in 2008. Prior to her death, she

was actively involved in her church, community and the Patrick Senior Center. Since then her daughters, Katherine, Wanda Gilmore and Janice Raye, have held fundraisers for the Patrick Center which was one of Mrs. Annie’s favorite places. Created to Praise Dance Academy is owned by Mrs. Annie’s granddaughter, Kelli

Hardy Putman. It was ‘Mrs. Annie’ who encouraged Kelli to open a dance studio but Kelli didn’t actually do so’ until she felt led by the spirit.’ The studio is faith based and emphasizes the importance of recognizing where their talent comes from. Students also do community work and participate in various other activities See BRUNCH, 2C

Virginia Hunsinger Virginia Price Hunsinger, 100, celebrated her milestone birthday twice recently at White Oak Manor. Her three children honored her at a big party on Sunday, Sept. 2, and she was honored by staff and residents at a party Thursday, Sept. 6. Widow of Melvin Leroy Hunsinger of Gastonia, Mrs. Hunsinger has been a resident of White Oak Manor for 18 months, moving from Abbington Place in Gastonia where she had been a resident for 10 years.

one,’’ said her daughter, Jean Keesler of Greenville, S.C. Mrs. Keesler, her brother, Melvin Hunsinger Jr. of Holden Beach and her sister. Linda Powers, of Cramer Mountain, hosted the party. A fourth child of Mrs. Hunsinger, Helen Stroupe, is deceased. Twelve grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren also attended the party.

The seminars were led by representatives of various hospitals in the state. Legislative

update was presented by Jamal Jones, Director of Government Relations, N.C. Hospital Association.

DAR representatives attend meeting

BRUNCH: for Mothers and daughters set for Oct. 6 From page 1C throughout the year. The theme of the mother-daughter brunch is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cherish the Momentsâ&#x20AC;?. Pendergrass said it was chosen â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;to remind attendees to cherish time together because things just happen so fast,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; adding, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;There are seasons in our lives in which it seems we move rapidly through time. One minute a child is in your arms, the next, going for driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, then off to college and before your know it, married. As children, we have our parents to love, comfort and guide us. Then one day, we become aware of their slowing down a bit, then retiring and at some point our roles may reverse. Whereas mothers are used to taking care of their child, there may come a time when the child must look after the mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to cherish each moment you have with each other while you can.â&#x20AC;? This is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wear your Sunday bestâ&#x20AC;? affair. The speaker for this event is Annie Thombs. Mrs. Thombs is the wife of Daniel Thombs and resides in Kings Mountain. She is a former City of Gastonia Administrator and the mother of successful entrepreneur, Pamela Hawkins as well as son Danny Thombs. Tickets are $10 for adults; $5 for children under 12 years and can be purchased at the Patrick Senior Center, Created to Praise Dance Academy (144 W.

PATRIOTIC - This fire hydrant is located at 510 Crescent Circle. Mrs. Ervin Simmons asked Linda Belk to paint it in honor of her grandson who is deployed overseas.

Kings Mountain Rotarians enjoyed a slide show Thursday of the restored, elegant Joy Theatre as KM Little Theatre President Ken Pflieger updated the club on the new season line-up, plans for expanded programming and recapped the seat dedication campaign. The pictures showed the challenges in the renovation which began nearly two years ago and the hard work by many in restoring the theatre, the installation of the 224 comfortable seats, beautiful aisle carpet. Pflieger said that on the drawing board are improvements in the balcony area. Cafe tables may be placed at a future time for functions and/or dinner type theatre where patrons could enjoy a catered meal and enjoy the show. Wings and stage expansion, a motorized main curtain, side yard improvements to an exit ramp, and technical upgrades will soon be in the works. “This is an exciting time for little theatre,’’ Pflieger told

Rotarians at the club’s noon meeting at the Patrick Senior Center. Jim Champion, a past LT president and veteran director, was program chairman and assisted in the presentation. Andy Neisler will direct “Dairy Queen Days,’’ which premiers October 12; Nikki Wood will direct “Best Ever Christmas Pageant” on Nov. 30; auditions will be held in early December for ‘’Oklahoma’’ to be directed by Jim Champion in March 2013; and ‘’Fleming, An American Thriller, will be directed by Georgiana Wright in 2013. The Rick Dancy Concert Series has added Bluegrass entertainer David Holt to its 2013 concert dates and the popular Bluegrass entertainer will be appearing again at the Joy in October 2013 and has asked for six concert bookings in the new year. Brooke and Darin Aldridge and the Aldridge Band will present a Christmas Concert at the Joy with shows beginning Nov. 10.

Not pictured: Weston Shuford. SHELBY - Cleveland Community College recently hosted its inaugural ClubMed, in equal partnership with Cleveland County Schools and Cleveland Regional Medical Center. ClubMed is a week-long camp that introduces the world of allied health to rising high school freshman across Cleveland County.

“We have been strategizing with CCS and CRMC since September to make this first ClubMed a great experience for students,” said John Lattimore, Dean of Business and Allied Health at CCC. The camp gave 18 students hands-on experience in the field of allied health, so that they could better understand jobs that are available in

the industry. “Nurses play a vital role in the health care industry, but not everyone can be a nurse. This program sheds light on other areas of the healthcare field that students may not know about,” Lattimore said. Students were chosen by Career Technical Education Counselors in their high school. The club is also de-

signed to make students aware of how crucial science is to their potential career in the health care field. “ClubMed has provided a valuable opportunity for these students by creating a handson health-care experience. This gives a student a chance to see if health-care is an area to pursue or if another career field would be a better fit for

them. Either way it is a winwin for the student,” said Tony Fogelman, Director of Career and Technical Education at CCS. CRMC also played an important role, allowing students to come three days and tour their facilities. At CRMC students were able to see actual medical professionals working in a field that they

may be working in one day. Students also toured GardnerWebb University’s nursing school, to get a feel for what college is like for those who want to become medical professionals. Lattimore said that due to the success of the camp and student feedback, CCC, CCS, and CRMC plan to offer the program again next year.
