Mark your calendars for Mountaineer Days Mountaineer Days, a two-day community-wide Heritage festival which drew record crowds to the city some years ago, replaces Gateway Festival in the Fall, and will be held Oct. 20-21 at Patriot’s Park and Amphitheatre. Christy Conner, Main Street Program Special Events Coordinator, said that plans are in the works for free fun and entertainment for every member of the family. “Mark your calendar now for the event,’’ she says. The event coincides with the date of KMHS Homecoming and the football game between the KM Mountaineers and Burns High Bulldogs. A big homecoming parade will
be held on Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. featuring pretty girls vying for the title of Homecoming Queen, the marching band, and others and will form on W. Mountain Street behind First Baptist Church, proceed down Railroad Avenue and end at Patriot’s Park. A Pep Rally will be held in the Amphitheatre and music will be provided from 2-6 p.m. on Oct. 20 and 2-10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21. There will be food, games, rides, contests and vendors and a Ghost Trail will be a feature of the Saturday activities. “We have many things planned for everyone’s enjoyment,’’ said Conner. The City of Kings Mountain sponsors the event.
Kings Mountain’s Energy Director Nick Hendricks and six other linemen from the city’s electrical department along with one lineman from Maiden are seeing first-hand the devastation of Hurricane Irma in Georgia and Florida. “We’re in Sarasota, Florida today (Monday) where 259,000 people were out of power at 8 a.m. this morning and where 10,000 linemen are working to restore power,’’ said Hendricks, also the city’s assistant city manager and an experienced lineman and head of the city’s electrical department for many years. The many crews that work together as a team were dispatched by ElectriCities of North Carolina in which the various cities are members of this agency. Last Wednesday the linemen crews from Morganton, Huntersville/Cornelius, Maiden, Gastonia, Concord, and Statesville met the Kings Mountain crew with trucks and equipment at 6:00 a.m. at the I-85 Truck Stop and departed for Covington, Georgia under the supervision of Hendricks. They restored power in five towns in the Atlanta area before departing for Jacksonville, Fla. on Friday and worked there until Sunday night and then traveled to Sarasota. They all hope to return to their homes this weekend. Working in the Sarasota area they encountered a lot of wind damage along with many items of concern including snakes and animals that were displaced due to the hurricane while bringing lights back to homes that have been in the dark for many days. “They are working long hours and some of our sleep time has been in a tractor trailer, 36 linemen to a trailer, and there are 10,000 linemen on the job” stated

Flu vaccine now available The flu vaccine is now available to anyone over the age of six months at the Cleveland County Health Department. It is not too early. The last three flu seasons have begun early in North Carolina. The vaccine is safe and effective and the best way to protect yourself and your family from getting the flu, says Anne Short of the Health Department. The vaccine is available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.4:30 p.m. It is free of charge for children 18 and younger who have Medicaid, do not have insurance or are underinsured (meaning insurance does not cover the flu vaccine), who are an American Indian or Alaska native. The vaccine is also free for uninsured (non-Medicaid) pregnant women ages 19 and older who are serviced by the
health department and women 19 years and older who have a family planning (Be Smart) waiver and are receiving services at the Health Department. If you have insurance, Medicare of Medicaid, the Department will bill these third-party payers along with a $15 administrative fee. If you do not meet the above criteria or do not have insurance, Medicare of Medicaid, the charge for the vaccine is $33. There is also available a limited number of the high dose flu vaccines for those aged 65 and older. Insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, can be billed for this vaccine, or the cost is $60.
riverhillmonuments.com
In addition to vaccination, Health Department officials remind, practicing healthy habits can protect you from flu viruses: +cover your nose and mouth with tissue when you cough or sneeze. +Throw the tissue in the trash promptly after use. +Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. +Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. +Stay home if you are sick for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone, except to get medical care. Family Owned & Operated Since 1957

Letters To Editor To the Editor: This letter is being written to voice my opinion on the football game Friday night, Sept. 16, 2017 Kings Mountain’s amazing football team vs. Shelby High School. For many years I have not had the opportunity of attending a game due to being a caregiver for my husband, so I was really excited about attending Friday night’s game. All four of my sons played football, three stuck with football and one stuck with the band. What wonderful memories I have of those days so long ago and how SHOCKED I was to see how things have changed. The children and yes,
some fans, not all of them, have no respect for a moment of silence (and I want to thank Larry McDaniel for his prayer praying for the safety of both teams) or the National Anthem by talking, yelling, texting, etc. when they should have shown respect to God and Country and all the men and women who fought and gave their lives to give them THE RIGHT TO DO SO. I am a Christian and very patriotic. I came to watch my granddaughter and niece march in the awesome Kings Mountain High School Band and the fantastic job Mr. Andy Washburn and Mr. Clary do to achieve the great performance they do each Friday night. They practice
and work so hard every day starting their school year Aug. 1 working every day until the first Friday night game. Friday night’s game and Friday night’s performance showed it all paid off! Furthermore, the UNsportsmanlike conduct shown by the Shelby fans ON OUR FIELD was shocking and unbelievable. A Great Big Thanks goes out to Coach Lloyd and staff on the way they handle the situation. The Kings Mountain fans were and are proud of our team’s effort and their sportsmanship in this terrible situation. Go Mountaineers! A fan of long ago and today,
To the Editor: A big Shout Out and Thank you to all those folks who arrived when Mother fell in the yard, the lady who sat on the ground to shade Mother’s face, the lady who prayed God’s protection over Mother; the “knight in shining armor on a white horse” (was actually a man in a billed cap on a
riding lawn mower) he called 911 and got a quick response; the EMTs who assessed the injuries (not). they walked her into the den. Mother asked if he was good looking and had plenty of money. And, of course, the two policemen who came to check on Mother. Before they left I asked for help unloading the car of suitcases, hang-
ing bags, cooler and tote bags. They did that with a smile. For the care, concern, prayers and help I am most grateful. I don’t know your names, but I hope you know you each did a random act of kindness on Saturday.

Free finance seminars The Small Business Center at Cleveland Community College is offering two seminars with a focus on finance. Both of these are for existing businesses as well as entrepreneurs and business startups. The seminars will be held at the LeGrand Center on Thursdays at 6:00pm. Registration may be completed in person at the Small Business Center or online at www. clevelandcc.edu. These free seminars are: 1) September 21: The Importance of Credit and Cash
Flow Establishing credit with a credit reporting service, in the name of your business, is very important. Business credit reports compare the stability of a business to similar businesses participating in the credit reporting service. Businesses involved in extending credit use these reports to determine terms of financing. CASH moves in and out of your business. As a business owner, you need to think ahead in order to meet your financial obligations and run a profitable business.
Wednesday, September 20, 2017
2) September 28: Grant Seeking/Grant Writing This seminar will enable you to become familiar with grant proposal components, learn how to utilize specific research strategies to find best funder matches, and understand post grant proposal follow-up action items. For more information or for assistance with registration, contact Steve Padgett, Director of the Small Business Center at Cleveland Community College.

Drug investigations are a high priority for the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department which arrested five suspects the week of Sept. 15. Two other suspects have outstanding warrants. Statistics have shown for years that drug use leads to other crimes, in particular breaking and entering and larcenies, where users have to steal to fund their habit,’’ said Sheriff Alan Norman. He added, “The Sheriff’s Department takes complaints of drug sales very seriously and request that anyone with information on drug dealers in their neighborhood contact the Vice/ Narcotics Division at 704-4844987. The arrests: Mitchell Lee Sheppard, 25, 111 S. Gaston St., Kings Mountain, possession with intent to sell heroin, two counts; sell/ deliver heroin, two counts; possession with intent to sell/de-

Eastside Homecoming September 24 Life Lessons, Part 3 of 4 “Don’t run with scissors” Sunday, Eastside Baptist Church, the good news of the Gospel
■ MEDITATION W h y do parents/ caregivers warn children not to run with scissors or sharp objects? Perhaps Jonathan M. parents Bundon want to Worship Pastor establish First Baptist dominance Church over their children and let them know who is in charge. Alternatively, maybe parents like to deprive their kids of pure joy. Parents must know how much fun it is to run at top speed around a corner while tightly clutching two sharp blades, and want to keep
this experience for themselves. Additionally, parents must not love their children and do not want to let them do what they want to. In short, parents must want to stifle their children’s freedom, creativity, and autonomy. Who among you believes this reasoning? I certainly hope not. On the contrary, parents do not allow their children to run with scissors because they love them and know an injury is inevitable. Parents may come across as harsh and unfair when in reality, parents want the best for their children and want to keep them from harm. If we want to give our best to our children, “how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11)
.
Jesus reminds his listeners, our Heavenly Father wants what is best for us and also wants to keep us from life’s pitfalls. Sadly today, we think we know better than our Heavenly Father. At times, all of us declare “God, you are unfair. God, why are you trying to keep me from having fun? Heavenly Father, leave me alone and let me do what I want to do!” The Bible is full of life lessons, yet we overlook them, neglect them, or defiantly ignore them. For instance, look at the 10 Commandments. If we consistently followed these, how would our lives be more fulfilled? 1. You shall have no other gods before Me. 2. You shall not make idols. 3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God
in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5. Honor your father and your mother. 6. You shall not murder. 7. You shall not commit adultery. 8. You shall not steal. 9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 10. You shall not covet. The Bible is full of accounts of where people obeyed God and those who disobeyed. Think about your life and your choices. Which category do you fit more often, obedience or disobedience. Pray and ask God to show you your “run with scissors” moments, ask for forgiveness and put the “scissors” down.
308 York Road, will celebrate Homecoming on Sunday, Sept. 24. Rev. Ron Caulder, pastor, invites everyone to attend Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., morning worship at 11 a.m. and covered dish luncheon following the service. Rev. Dustin Hoyle, who has pastored in the North Carolina area for 15 years, will fill the pulpit. Caulder says Hoyle loves sharing
and shepherding people into a mature relationship with Christ. Dustin and his wife, Tabatha, enjoy the outdoors and spending time with their two children, Riley and Beckett. Dustin is the grandson of the late Jack and Margaret Rayfield, longtime faithful members of Eastside church. “Come and be our guest,’’ said the pastor.
Carroll Reunion Oct. 1 The families of John William and James Edward Carroll and the sons of Edward and Barbara Evans Carroll will have their family reunion Sunday, Oct. 1,

Reading from Imagination Library Exciting for KM’s Boyd family Every month Cristi Boyd receives a new book from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and she reads it to her daughter, 10-month-old Charli Kate. Charli Kate has been exposed to books since she was born. She has learned to hold the book as her mother reads to her and to turn the pages. Her Mom says interest picks up every month with each new book and Boyd says that as a kindergarten teacher she feels the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is “an awesome program that exposes young children to books at an early age and prepares them for school.’’ Angela Patterson Padgett, Smart Start Coordinator for Cleveland County Partnership for Children, said that other parents are as excited as the Boyd family about the program.

CITY CREW From Page 1A Hendricks. City Manager Marilyn Sellers and Mayor Scott Neisler along with Councilmembers Jay Rhodes and Curtis Pressley and HR Director, Randy Patterson greeted the linemen last Wednesday morning at the I-85 Truck Stop on Dixon School Road and wished them well. Sellers has communicated on a daily basis with Hendricks by telephone. Hendricks said in a telephone conversation that “everything is going well,’’ adding, “We are seeing so much devastation and so many homes without electricity and people who have lost so much.” Before Hendricks left Kings Mountain he and his crew had cleared out any impact of Hurricane Irma in Kings Mountain and he left a veteran crew of lineman and personnel on duty here.

“We got lucky,’’ said Hendricks, about the storm, “but in Kings Mountain we were 100 percent prepared for the worst.” Kings Mountain always comes first, said both Hendricks and City Manager Sellers. The City had spotty outages in several sections of town including the high school area, York Road where a tree fell on lines, on Canterbury, Slater Street and the Piedmont Avenue general area. A tree fell on a garage on Church Street. “The City was definitely blessed with very little damage” said Sellers. Warnings were out in Cleveland County of high winds Sept.10-11. Kings Mountain had winds of 30-45 miles per hour. Hendricks said power was restored to 1,000 customers in the city about 1 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12. “We were prepared for the storm with good communication and always aware of the weather situation,’’ said
Sellers, in which a meeting of department heads was called over a week before the storm hit and communication updated as the storm whipped the Southeast. She said that updates were also on the City’s website and emergency system to keep citizens informed. She said each department head was assigned a duty to keep citizens safe. Some personal visits were made by police and other city employees to residents confined to their homes due to sickness. City-owned Moss Lake was drawn down in anticipation of torrential rains. Storm drains were cleaned out. Arrangements were also made for shelters. “We always try to prepare for the worst so we will be ready for whatever comes,’’ said Hendricks. Kings Mountain, along with ElectriCities, is continuing to monitor the ongoing activity in the Atlantic should a need arise for the crews to return home.

Crisis Center Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting
Bessemer City Area Chamber of Commerce and community members attending Bessemer City Crisis Center’s Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening on Tuesday, September 12, 2017.
In 1984 a group of Bessemer City Pastors and educators established the Bessemer City Crisis Center, a staple of the Bessemer City Community. The Crisis Center is known for its charitable events and its general contributions to the Bessemer City Community. The Crisis Center assists local residents in crisis by ensuring es-
sential utilities such as water, gas, power, and clothing needs are met. In an effort to serve the greater community, the Crisis Center moved a few blocks down to 315 E. Virginia Avenue. The new building allows the Crisis center to store frozen and refrigerated goods from the Second Harvest Food Bank and store household and
kitchen appliances. During the Tuesday, September 12th Ribbon cutting and grand opening, the Bessemer City Crisis Center thanked volunteers and the community for their contributions. Contact the Crisis Center for donations and volunteer opportunities (704) 629-2147 or www.facebook.com/BessemerCityCrisis-Center.

Autumn yard work gone ‘green’ Autumn marks the time to transition from the hot days of summer to the chilly weather of winter. As people remove sweaters and long pants from storage, cleaning up their yards also may be on their minds. Fall is a season of beautiful foliage, but once that magical color show is over, thousands of leaves have fallen to the ground, necessitating a few weekends’ worth of yard work. Some homeowners may be on the lookout for environmentally friendly ways to handle autumn yard work, and thankfully there are plenty of eco-friendly ways to tackle such tasks. Leaves The tallest task with regard to fall yard work is collecting the leaves that fall to the ground. Some homeowners prefer to wait until all of the leaves have fallen

before starting the collection process, while others handle the task in stages to make it more manageable. Regardless of your timing, skip the noisy gas- or electric-powered leaf blower in favor of a reliable rake. Raking not only collects the leaves but also helps men and women burn calories while ensuring they are not creating any noise or air pollution. Invest in a durable, ergonomic rake to get the job done quickly and without injury. Innovators are constantly reinventing the rake, and now there are designs that do not trap leaves, saving homeowners from the time-consuming tasks of cleaning the rake’s teeth. Rake on a calm day so the wind isn’t thwarting your efforts. When it comes time to bag the leaves, use biodegradable paper bags or look for mesh-like bags
that are made from cornstarch. These are more eco-friendly than plastic bags, which can take much longer to decompose. You won’t need to dispose of all the leaves you collect. Shred some to use as mulch, which can prevent soil erosion during the winter. Some leaves can be added to compost piles or used as a soil ammendment in planting beds. Compost Autumn is an ideal time of year to get started on building a compost bin. Take advantage of the cooler temperatures to make outdoor work more comfortable. According to the Audubon Society, American yards generate two tons of clippings each year. A lot of that waste ends up being bagged and thrown away. Instead of producing waste, compost leaves and

grass trimmings to use as valuable fertilizer come the spring planting season. When choosing a location for your compost bins, be sure to place them a good distance away from the house but near enough to garden beds. Most yard waste and food debris can be added to the compost pile. Just avoid animal products, which can produce harmful bacteria. Keep the compost damp and turn it periodically to facilitate the decomposition process. Soak finished compost in water to create “compost tea.” This liquid mixture can be sprayed on lawns in the fall to give the yard a nutrient boost that promotes healthy regrowth when the warmer weather returns. Eco-friendly lawn care can save energy, money and natural resources.
Apple pie, pumpkins and blooming chrysanthemums are symbols of autumn. But nothing signals the arrival of fall more than the millions of leaves that begin to cascade from the trees as the temperatures dip. Many people feel nothing is more beautiful than the yellow, red, purple, and orange leaves that coat neighborhoods and countrysides each fall. But in spite of their beauty, leaves might be a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing the growing piles of them from their lawns. Those with large oak and maple trees in front of their homes understand the seemingly endless work of leaf removal. As the days begin to grow shorter and colder, these
changes trigger a hormone release in trees, prompting them to drop their leaves. This chemical message causes the formation of abscission cells where the leaf stem meets the branch, say botanists at the Missouri Botanical Garden. So rather than merely dropping off of trees when the wind blows, the leaves actually fall off deliberately. Left untouched, fallen leaves can contribute to lawn problems such as poor aeration, mold growth and moisture issues. Leaves also can cause staining on driveways and walkways. Prompt removal can help prevent any problems. To make faster and easier work of leaf removal, keep these tips in mind. • Mow over thin leaf cover-
vent back and arm pain, much in the way that ergonomic shovels do when shoveling snow. • Invest in a quality leaf blower. Using a rake is good exercise, but homeowners with large properties might want to use a leaf blower. These machines can dislodge leaves from bushes and hard-to-reach crevices, and they work faster than rakes. • Use a tarp. Rake or blow leaves onto a tarp and then drag the tarp to the curbside or to the back of a truck for proper disposal. Special leaf scoopers enable you to grab more leaves if they need to be picked up and transported. Otherwise, you can use the covers from two garbage pails to achieve a similar effect.
Make your fall leaf cleanup easier with a few good tips. age. If only a few leaves have fallen, use a mulching mower to shred the leaves until they are small enough that they won’t suffocate the lawn. The
small pieces will decompose in the lawn, reintroducing nutrients as a result. • Use an ergonomic leaf rake. Ergonomic rakes can pre-
Fall Things To Do Around Your Home
• Work with the wind. Rake in the direction the wind is blowing and downhill if your property slopes. This way it will be easier on you, and you won’t be working against Mother Nature. • Spread out the job. Do not attempt to remove all fallen leaves in a single day. Schedule a few cleaning days during the season to make lighter work of the job than if you tried to do it all at once. Keep in mind that leaves will continue to fall throughout the season and you may need to spend a few days removing leaves from your yard. Removing leaves is a large part of fall home maintenance. Employ these tips to make this task less strenuous.

KM at Cramer for Big South opener Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers can’t afford a letdown after last week’s tough loss to Shelby. Friday night, they begin Big South 3A Conference play at Stuart Cramer, a team that has improved by leaps and bounds in its four years of existence. Cramer, which made the state playoffs last year, has a veteran team and an explosive team both on the ground and through the air. Like Kings Mountain, the Storm comes in with a 3-1 record with their only loss to defending state 3A champion South Point last week. The 41-14 score is deceiving, though, as Cramer dropped a wide open pass in the end zone and was deep in the red zone several other times without scoring. Kings Mountain also suffered its first loss last week, 20-17 in overtime to the defending state 2AA champion Shelby. Cramer has a load of talented players, including two quarterbacks who give them a great balance of running and passing and several others who are battle tested in the
rugged Big South. Jaylen Rocquemore, a 6-2, 205-pound senior, is a talented running quarterback with great speed and slippery moves. He sliced through the strong South Point defense 14 times for 72 yards last week. Their other quarterback, junior Luke Carpenter, hooked up with 6-3 receiver Kendall Karr on touchdown passes of 80 and 30 yards. Those two scores cut a 20-0 first half Raider lead to 27-14 and the Storm was deep in SP territory several more times before turning the ball over or losing it on downs. “They are both good quarterbacks,” noted KM coach Greg Lloyd. “They’re both capable players. “They are a very good team,” he continued. “They’ve got a good season going. They’re very competitive and they’re anxious to get their conference started, just as we are. See KM/CRAMER, Page 13

Shelby nips Mountaineers in OT Shelby quarterback Malik Surratt completed only three passes in Friday’s game with Kings Mountain at John Gamble Stadium. One was for lost yardage, but one was a 17yard touchdown to Santana Eaves in overtime to defeat the Mountaineers 20-17. After the two teams tied at 14-all at the end of regulation, Shelby won the overtime coin toss and elected to play defense. Kings Mountain got a 20-yard field goal from Micah Randall to take a 17-14 lead. Kings Mountain’s Tyler Osborne threw running back Xavier Brooks for a seven-yard loss on Shelby’s first play. On the next play the KM defense was chasing a scrambling Surratt when he spotted Eaves wide open in the back of the end zone for the winning score. Except for two long plays, the Mountaineer defense held the four-time defending state champions at bay during regulation play. On the game’s very first series, KM apparently held the Lions to a 3-and-out and they lined up to punt on a fourth and seven situation at their own 23 yard line. Kings Mountain roughed the punter, though, giving Shelby a first down. Three plays later Brooks got loose on a 47-yard touchdown run down the visitor’s sideline for a 7-0 lead just 1:51 into the game. Kings Mountain battled back behind the passing combination of quarterback Kaylon Wade and receiver Christopher Brittain to See KM/SHELBY, Page 11

CHAPEL HILL – Legendary and long-time Executive Director of the NCHSAA, Charlie Adams, has passed away at the age of 81. He passed away peacefully ADAMS Sunday morning at his home in Chapel Hill, surrounded by his family and loved-ones. Mr. Adams led the Association through huge transitions and great expansions during his tenure as Executive Director from 1984 until he retired in 2010. He was the fifth Executive Director in the history of the Association. Prior to becoming executive director, Adams served as assistant executive director and supervisor of officials for the Association for some 17 years. He conducted rules clinics in various sports across the state during that time in addition to supervising a number of interscholastic programs. He was a visionary leader of the NCHSAA, contributing to a number of innovations during his time with the Association. One of Adams’ legacies is the NCHSAA Endowment, which was conceived, discussed and implemented under his leadership. It will help ensure that certain athletic opportunities for student-athletes will always be available. Other important contributions during Adams tenure include implementing a corporate sponsorship program, greatly expanding the state awards program, including the creation and implementation of Scholar-Athlete and Hall of Fame programs. He is also credited with developing more classified state championships and moving many to neutral sites. Under his guidance, the Student Services program was conceived, which includes a strong alcohol and other drug education-prevention component.

Kings Mountain’s Dontavious Hughes returns a punt in Friday’s game with Shelby.
KM/SHELBY: Lions edge Mountaineers in OT march 56 yards and tie the score on a one-yard blast off the left side by Ricaylen Mack behind the blocking of Jonathan Rikard, Sabeian Beam and James Parsons. Wade hit Brittain twice for a total of 47 yards, including a 37-yard catch and run that gave KM a first down at the Shelby four. On their very next possession, the Mountaineers took over on their own 42 following a Shelby punt. On a third and one at the Shelby 49, Wade took the snap from center, took one step to his left and went the distance to give the Mountaineers a 14-7 advantage. The Mountaineers had two other first half drives stopped just short of field goal range. After the defense forced a Shelby three and out, Dontavious Hughes returned a punt 16 yards to the Shelby 35 but a holding penalty pushed the Mountaineers back. A 14-yard reception by John Harmon Melton got them back to the 29, but the Shelby defense was able to stop them short of the first down on a fourth and four situation. Three minutes later Shelby punted from deep in its own territory to the Shelby 45. KM was able to pick up a first down at the 34. After two runs by Mack netted seven yards to the 27, two passes fell incomplete with 32 seconds left in the half.
Kings Mountain linebacker Michael “Tank” Pruiksma closes in on Shelby quarterback Malik Surratt.

On the very next play, Brooks went the distance to tie the game. Shelby didn’t cross midfield again, and KM managed to only make it to the Shelby 49 before having to punt. Although the Mountaineers were disappointed, Coach Greg Lloyd said he was extremely pleased with their effort. “I thought we played very well,” he said. “Both

teams played hard. It was a very evenly matched game. Both defenses played at a high level. It was a tough one to lose but our guys played hard. I was pleased with our effort and how we executed.” The Mountaineer defense got a great effort from many players, including Michael Puriksma, AJ Austin, Jerdon Pressley, Jeremiah Brown, JT Cash, Nathan Lease and Marquis Fewell. “I thought our line did a good job blocking on their number five (linebacker Jaylen Scott) who is the best
defensive player I’ve seen in a while,” Lloyd noted. Lloyd said he feels like the Mountaineers can build on the loss and be a strong contender in the Big South. “There’s no moral victories in my book, but we stood toe to toe with them,” he said. “It turned into a defensive struggle. We played a great game. Both teams played hard. It was a great environment and great sportsmanship. It’s good to play in that atmosphere and it will help us as we move forward.

during Adams tenure, coming on staff to begin work with the Student Services department. She offered these thoughts: “Charlie Adams was a man who was kind and generous. He loved all of us who worked with him, and it showed in his face every time we were together as staff and colleagues. He was proud of and found tremendous joy in the work of the NCHSAA. There was never a time, that I could not talk to Charlie or that he would not offer advice –asked for or not! Some may have known him as I did, but those who didn’t, missed out on knowing not only a great leader, but more importantly, a great man.” Adams NCHSAA roots run deep, as he was a member of a State Championship winning basketball team at Cary High School, where he later became a Championship coach and mem-
ber of the school’s Hall of Fame. He left Cary to join the NCHSAA staff in 1967. Adams was well regarded by his peers in state high school association work throughout the country and was very active in the National Federation of State High School Association (NFHS) activities throughout his time as Executive Director. He is one of seven people with NCHSAA-ties to be selected and inducted in the NFHS Hall of Fame. He served as president of the NFHS in 19971998. The NCHSAA’s Distinguished Service Award bears his name, presented annually at regional meetings to one person in each of the state’s eight regions. It is given to an individual still actively serving as an educator who has gone above and beyond what would normally be expected in service to NCHSAA programs and served in education for at least 10 years.
KM/CRAMER: Storm up next for Mountaineers From Page 10 “They have a lot of speed all around, and they blitz a lot on defense. They have a lot of good athletes and a lot of experience. They’re quick, they’re going to run and pass and they have good receivers.” Kings Mountain’s defense may be without the
services of senior AJ Austin, who suffered a high ankle sprain in last week’s game with Shelby. Lloyd expects Austin to be back pretty soon, but probably not this week. Running back Ricaylen Mack rolled his ankle last week but returned to the game and should be fine Friday.

Top New Cars for Older Drivers Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I are both in our late sixties and are looking to buy a new car. Can you recommend some good resources that can help us evaluate and choose a good car for older drivers? Car Shoppers Dear Shoppers, With more than 40 million licensed drivers in the United States age 65 and older, many automakers today are designing certain vehicles that are friendlier for older drivers. But what makes a good car for seniors? For many, top priorities include a vehicle that’s easy to get into and out of, easy to adjust for fit and comfort, easy to operate and see out of, as well as reliable, safe and a good value. To help you narrow your vehicle choices, Consumer Reports and the American Automobile Association (AAA) offer some great information and tools to assist you. CR Best Cars Consumer Reports recently put out a top 25 ranking of new cars for se-
nior drivers. Each vehicle on their list offers excellent or very good ratings on reliability, safety, road-test performance and owner satisfaction. And, they offer a variety of senior-friendly features that are extremely important to older divers, like: • Easy front-seat access: Vehicles with low door thresholds, wider door openings, and step-in heights that reduce the need for ducking or climbing, make getting into and out of a car easier for those with physical limitations. • Good visibility: Being able to see well out of the front, sides, and back of a vehicle for tall, medium, and shorter drivers. • Simplified controls: Easy-to-read gauges and simplified/intuitive controls for changing the radio, shifting gears, and adjusting the heating and cooling is a high priority among older drivers. • Bright headlights: Powerful headlights can make driving at night easier for people with decreasing or compromised vision. They also weighed in extra safety features (standard or optional) like a
backup camera, automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning and blind-spot warning.
meets your needs is the AAA online tool “Smart Features for Older Drivers.”
Their picks include a variety of compact and midsized sedans and SUVs, two minivans and a station wagon from seven different automakers. Here’s their top 25 ranking, starting with one through 25: Subaru Forester; Subaru Outback; Kia Soul; Subaru Legacy; Kia Sportage; Toyota Highlander; Toyota Prius V; Toyota RAV4; Honda Odyssey; Nissan Rogue; Honda Accord; Ford C-Max Hybrid; Hyundai Sonata; Toyota Camry; Subaru Crosstrek; Toyota Sienna; Honda CR-V; Honda Pilot; Kia Forte; Ford Escape; Toyota Corolla; Kia Sorento; Ford Flex; Hyundai Santa Fe; Hyundai Tucson.
At SeniorDriving.AAA.com/SmartFeatures you can check the areas you have problems with – like diminished vision, cognitive decline, limited upper body range of motion, decreased leg strength, arthritic hands, short stature or overweight – and the tool will identify vehicles that have the features that will best accommodate your needs. Although this tool looks at model-year 2016 vehicles, in many cases the features shown are carried over for 2017 models.
For more information on their top 25 list, see ConsumerReports.org/elderly-driving/top-25-new-cars-for-senior-drivers. AAA Tool Another great resource that can help you evaluate and chose a vehicle that

Dr. Barrett earned his undergraduate degree from UNC at Chapel Hill in 2010 and his Master’s degree in Cell and Molecular Biology in 2013. He is the son of Joey and Lori Barrett of Waco. His mother is a clerical assistant in the EC Department at Kings Mountain High School. His father, a former assistant softball coach at KMHS from 2009-16, is a truck driver for USF Holland.
