NTE water line now under construction The City of Kings Mountain has contracted with Buckeye Bridge, LLC to install the water and wastewater infrastructure to the NTE Power Plant. Currently the majority of the work being performed is the installation of the water line.

Energy Director and Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks says the water line consists of tapping to the city's existing line near the Hospice Facility on Kings Mountain Blvd. and continues down the Blvd. to Dixon School Rd. intersection, at

which time they will utilize the existing electric right of way, boring under I-85 to reach the NTE site.

Currently the water line is 80% complete with the remaining work being the boring of Rail and Road ways.

He estimate the water line to be completed by the end of October, 2016.

The next segment will focus on the wastewater infrastructure. This will include one lift station upgrade on Tin Mine Rd, and continuing with the infrastructure under I-85 to a new lift

station that will be installed at the NTE power plant site.

The water and wastewater infrastructure is within budget and the timeline requirements. Hendricks added that the City is responsible for all of the infrastructure installation because this infrastructure will be turned over to the City for operation and maintenance. NTE is responsible for the reimbursement of all cost associated with both the water and wastewater infrastructure, installation and engineering.

KM Elite forum set for Oct. 4

New DAR marker honors African American Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Photo by MAYOR SCOTT NEISLER

Kings Mountain Elite is inviting the public to attend a KM Elite Community building forum on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. at Bynum Chapel Family Center for the presentation of a building project and what promoters say is a “strategic plan for the community.''

The KM Elite Trailblazers are launching a twoyear fundraising project for $980,000 for an educational/ athletic complex to serve area children in numerous programs such as tutoring and sports.

Maurice L. Tate, Founder/ President of KM Elite, said that during the past seven years Kings Mountain Elite's program has made great strides and gains in building community youth in the areas of education, recreation, and membership and currently has over 200 children who

participate in multiple segments of the program.

Kings Mountain Elite currently offers educational programs at different sites in the community, including Bynum Chapel and Mount Zion churches and East and Bethware Elementary schools. Basketball programs are alsos offered there, and football games are played at Kings Mountain High School.

KM Elite is a 501-C-3 nonprofit founded in 2007.

All donations are fully tax-deductible.

“We are excited about our future construction plans that will enable us to provide more access and resources to the children and families in the community,'' said Tate.

Plan to attend and email Vice President Bernadette Byars at kmeltrailblazers@ live.com. Light refreshments will be served.

Local church tolls bell, makes 90 arm bands

New marker delivered to KMNMP Tuesday On Tuesday, the City of Kings Mountain transported the new marker honoring African American Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain from Icon Masonry in Charlotte to the Kings Mountain National Military Park.

The marker’s final location will be just southwest of the Centennial Marker placed in 1880. That is the area the Virginia militia under Col. William Campbell attacked the British, facing three bayonet charges before finally taking the hill.

Lyman Draper estimated that twelve African American Men participated in some way during the battle. Unfortunately, only three can be proven as this time. As more information becomes available online, and older documents are digitized, more will likely be discovered.

The marker will be dedicated by the Col. Fred-

erick Hambright Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution on October 7 at 10 am at the Kings Mountain National Military Park.

Families of the honored patriots will be in attendance.

Guests will include national representatives from the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, and dignitaries from the National Park Service. The public is invited to attend.

Immediately following, there will be a wreath laying ceremony at the US Monument.

“Thanks to the generous support of local patrons, and a matching grant by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, we have been able to fund this marker and finally thank these men for their service to our country,” said Loretta Cozart, Regent of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter.

The election will be over, not HB2 What do you hate more?

The presidential election campaign?

Or the furor over D.G. MARTIN HB2?

The good news is that one will be over in a few weeks. The bad news is that the other won’t.

On November 8 the election campaigning ends. The heavy doses of drug-like campaign ads and cable news coverage the mean-spirited, misleading, and malicious barrages fired by and at the candi-

dates will halt.

But HB2 will still be with us, tearing us asunder, holding our state up to ridicule.

Unnecessarily, because reasonable people could have worked out a common-sense solution that recognized, respectfully and practically, the needs and aspirations of transgender people, while protecting the public from danger and abuse.

But politics gets in the way.

The governor’s re-election campaign ads tout HB2 as necessary protection for children in public bathrooms who could be threatened by adults of the

opposite sex.

Meanwhile, the Democratic challenger’s campaign energizes core supporters by calling for the immediate and unconditional repeal of HB2, exploiting its growing unpopularity in the sports and business communities.

Thus, a compromise solution would not serve the campaigns of either candidate.

Each side blames the other for the mess HB2 has created.

Conservative religious and “traditional values” groups are an important part of the Republican coalition in North Carolina.

Hillary Clinton has been sick, as the media has reported.

We’ve heard Glenn Mollette about her Guest Editorial pneumonia, seen her coughing at the podium and struggling to stay afoot as she was escorted to her car.

The strenuous pace of campaigning for President of the United States would surely take its toll on any human body.

Clinton has been accused of hiding her illness. Secrecy has been a pattern with her when it comes to emails, Whitewater, Secretary of State activities, the Clinton Foundation, mega-dollar speaking fees from none other than Wall Street and a sloughing off about the lifestyle shenanigans of Bill.

She has denied being the woman in Tammy Wynette’s song titled “Stand by Your Man,” but she did do a good job of standing by Bill during some tough years of adversity. Bill is now standing with her and what a better place for him to have eight more years to solidify millions and millions more in contributions to the Clinton Foundation. Even if money was refused from Middle Eastern powerbro-

kers during Hillary’s Presidency, continued relationships will be built for donations for years to come.

Maybe this is part of Hillary’s health condition? Sometimes there is simply too much on the plate.

Possibly, there have been too many powerful Saudis calling on the telephone with political suggestions.

Too much loss of sleep wondering where Bill is and what he is doing.

Maybe there have been too many late hours deleting emails and trying to cover up massive contributions to the Clinton Foundation.

No one knows for sure what is going on with Hillary Clinton’s health.

She looks tired. Her schedule is crazy. She is probably just worn down. It happens.

This can happen to anybody. Anybody can get sick. Trump may turn up with the flu.

They just need to say, “I’m sick and I’m going to bed. I’ll be back out when I’m feeling better.”

All of us battle physical ailments. We are all one heartbeat from death. Flu, viruses, sore throats, they happen to us all. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s paralytic problems began in 1921 when he was 39 years old. Roosevelt was diagnosed with poliomyelitis, although years later there were

other diagnoses. He was left with permanent paralysis from the waist down, and was unable to stand or walk without support.

He laboriously taught himself to walk short distances while wearing iron braces on his hips and legs. He supported himself with a cane, and he was careful never to be seen using his wheelchair in public. His troubles with illness were well known before and during his Presidency and became a major part of his image, but the extent of his illness and physical condition were kept from public view. In other words, he wouldn’t call CNN, Fox or NBC for a full video analysis and report of his condition.

Of course, it was a different day. People judged Roosevelt by who he was and what he could do in spite of severe physical limitations. They believed him. They had faith that he was the person to lead this country. He was a proven leader.

Americans aren’t that worried about Hillary’s pneumonia or Trump’s tax returns.

If one of them ended up on a walker or in a wheelchair it would be a moot point. Americans want somebody to have faith in and believe.

Right now, that’s our biggest problem.

■ MEDITATION Stumbling Blocks, Obstacles, and Hindrances I am all in favor of positive thinking and behavior, but sometimes, life is positively JAMES negative.

LOCHRIDGE, JR. We do the 29G, Kamay, best we Noord, Aruba can and prayerfully seek God’s will to walk in it, but Satan continually tries to throw roadblocks in our way.

Duh! That should come as no surprise. He’s been doing that since the beginning of time and though he sometimes wins minor skirmishes, we know that he won’t win the war. Jesus did that for all who will put their

faith an trust in Him, on that weekend a couple of thousand years ago on an old rugged cross and by rising from the grave on that first Easter Sunday morning.

From the beginning to the end of His printed Word, God has given us example after example of those who have sought to walk according to His revealed will. We have seen the likes of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Nehemiah, Daniel, the first disciples, the Apostle Paul and others face stumbling blocks, obstacles, and hindrances to their accomplishing the assignments God gave them. But we have also seen victory after victory when they have kept the faith. Hebrews 11 mentions a few of these and though they sometimes did not see the promised results in this life, we are told that they received the same reward given

the faithful servants in Matthew 25:21 & 23, “Well done, good and faithful servant. . . Enter into the joy of your Lord.” No greater reward can be given to any of us.

Our move to Aruba was instigated by our response to the nudge of the Holy Spirit. There was no blinding flash of light, no booming voice from the heavens. Just that soft, gentle voice that I have heard so often.

As sometimes happens, in fact, as most times happens, the revelation has come in steps requiring obedience to the first step for the second to be revealed and so forth. Seldom, if ever, is the final outcome revealed at the beginning. I suppose if it was, there wouldn’t be a whole lot of need for the trust factor.

But the next step has always been revealed when we have

walked in obedience to the last one revealed. And never once have I been hung out to dry and left alone. God has always provided and I can give testimony, as many of you can, as to His faithfulness. Never has He been wrong. Never has His plan required change. Satan has never surprised Him or outwitted Him though he always tries. I have sometimes tried to run ahead or lag behind or to go rogue and walk in the flesh even with good intentions and of course, that has caused problems. But when I repent and refocus on Him, and walk in step with His directives, He forgives and shows the way, working out the details in the process. I guess that’s why it’s called faith. But I don’t know anyone other than God that has a 100% track record of keeping His word. Again let me remind you that Satan will do everything he can to stop God’s plan.

next one. We know Satan will come against us. We know that God will bless and Satan will persecute. But we know who wins and we are on His side. I don’t know what plan God has for you, but I encourage you to seek it and walk obediently in it. He will bless no matter what stumbling blocks, obstacles, and hindrances Satan puts in your way. And if we are faithful, one day we can look forward to hearing Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. . . Enter into the joy of your Lord.” Praise His Holy Name!

First step is to become His child by confessing your sinfulness and receiving His forgiveness.

Talk to Him. He will hear you.

Then listen and He will speak.

Then walk in obedience and be blessed. Selah! Think about it!

Then just do it! You’ll be glad you did.

He will send his demonic angels to stand in your way. He will use physical and psychological manipulations. He will attack our financial and social support.

He will be relentless until God tells him to leave us alone. But he will never be able to do to us more than God allows. Ask Job. That’s why we can sing with gusto, “There’s Victory in Jesus.”

Lord willing, we will head back to Good News Baptist Church in Oranjestad, Aruba on November 5. We are still waiting on the approval of our residency there allowing us to live there year round. We still deal with finances, health, logistics and other on-going challenges that we would face no matter where. The difference is, we know that God is in control.

He has revealed this step and we will walk in that revealed knowledge until He tells us the

HB2 From Page 4 They pushed for HB2 and resist its repeal.

But there are other important religions in North Carolina: sports and business.

The actions by the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to move important sports contests out of North Carolina sparked a new fire of

concern about HB2.

UNC President Margaret Spellings has been cautious and careful not to criticize HB2 directly.

“We are surprised and disappointed by the NCAA’s decision and regret the impact it will have on North Carolina’s student-athletes, coaches, athletic staffs, fans, and the North Carolina communities previously chosen to host these championship events.”

She says,. “We remain caught in the middle” On the other hand, a representative of a private college support-

SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE From Page 1

“We appreciate all those who are donating school supplies,'' said Janice and Richard Anderson, coordinators for the drive sponsored by the Missions committee. The Andersons said that pencil pouches, graphics paper and 2 inch binders are especially needed.

Church members are

picking up donated supplies at the various locations and taking them to East Elementary School, KM Intermediate School and Kings Mountain High School.

The Andersons say that if more supplies are donated by end of September that another elementary school may be included as a recipient of the gifts.

Investigation (SBI) arrested Deitra Morris, Casey Fenner and Jolisa Peeler for Accessory to Murder After the Fact. Ashley Hamrick of Shelby was also arrested for Harboring a Fugitive.

The investigation started on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, after the Shelby Police Department attempted to locate Irving Lucien Fenner Jr. to serve outstanding warrants. During an altercation, Officer Brackeen and Fenner exchanged gun shots and both men were wounded. Officer Brackeen was transported to CarolinasHealthcare system-Cleveland and then flown to Carolinas HealthCare System-Main in Charlotte, where he later died of his injuries.

Fenner fled the area and a nationwide manhunt began.. The Shelby Police Department, the SBI, law enforcement agencies in other states, and federal law enforcement agencies,

including the FBI, United States Marshals Service, and the Secret Service have been working around the clock on the investigation and have been in consultation with the District Attorney's office throughout.

Last week the governor announced that the state was offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the shooting of Officer Brackeen.

Fenner remains in jail in Rhode Island without bond, charged with first degree murder in Brackeen's death. Prosecutors have said they plan to seek the death penalty.

The investigation is ongoing. The criminal investigative report will be sent to the Cleveland County District Attorney when complete, according to a statement in a release from the governor's press office.

Fisher, Superintendent of Cleveland County Schools.

Davidson School is the first property in Kings Mountain nominated and listed for its educational history and heritage in the African American community.

Other properties in Kings Mountain on the National Register are the King Street overhead bridge, Southern Raiway overhead bridge north of the King Street bridge, the Jacob S. Mauney Memorial Library and Teacher's Home and the United States Post Office, now the home of the Kings Mountain Historical Museum. Three historical districts – Central School, West End, and Margrace Mill Village are also on the National Register of Historic Places.

Writing the summary for the nomination, Hood said, “The small one-story six room classroom of 1950s era Modern Movement building on four acres on Parker Street holds local significance in the areas of education and black ethnic heritage. The school building was completed in 1954 and continued until 1969 when the building ceased to be used as a school for African Americans and for graded public instruction. Its significance in the areas of education and black ethnic heritage is represented in its history as the last built of three buildings known to have been constructed in the 20th century for black public education in Kings Mountain and the only one of the three to survive.

Hood continued,” Following on the pioneering local efforts of black churches and their ministers to provide rudimentary schooling for black children in the community, a small one-story, weatherboarded frame building was erected as a black

public school on West Ridge Street from 1900-1910. It was replaced in 1925-26 by a five-teacher- type school supported by the Rosenwald fund and erected on a two acre lot in the southeast corner of North Watterson and West Parker Streets. In the late 1940s. That building, named for its longtime principal, the Rev. Robert James Davidson, enlarged by classroom and toilet room additions and known in its time as Davidson High school, was acknowledged as inadequate. After delays, this current building was erected on a nearby site as an auxiliary facility for primary and elementary instruction with the high school grades remaining in the older building.

Hood continued, “As the processes of consolidation and desegregation advanced in the 1960s the high school grades were merged in 1961 with those at Compact High School, a rural black school. Black primary and elementary students in Kings Mountain received instruction in this building and the older building from 1961-62 through the 1966-67 school year, by freedom of choice beginning with the 1965-66 school year, and in this building alone for a single final school year 1967-68.

With the demolition of the Rosenwald-era building in 1967, Davidson Elementary School became the only historically, exclusively black public school in Kings Mountain. Full desegregation with the opening of the 1969-70 year when all black students in Kings Mountain attended formerly all white public schools. Davidson Elementary School housed special education classes in 1968-69, served as administrative offices from 1969-1994 and last housed a Cleveland County alternative school.''

Page 7 ed the ACC and NCAA. Davidson’s athletic director Jim Murphy wrote, “Davidson College has opposed the plainly discriminatory bill known as HB2 since the day it was hastily signed into law. The law harms many and protects no one….”

Meanwhile, other North Carolinians are counting the money that will not come to North Carolina because of HB2 and actions like those of the NCAA and ACC. A business recruiter told me recently that his community had lost

several large business prospects who told him they could no longer consider North Carolina because of HB2. He said, “We are just no longer on their list.”

After November’s election is over, maybe common sense can prevail, and HB2 can be buried respectfully. But getting North Carolina back on the lists of sports events and businesses looking for good locations will not happen quickly.

The ghost of HB2 will haunt us for a long time.

How to simplify fall leaf cleanup 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

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 prevent 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 hardto-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.

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 coverage. If only a few leaves have fallen, use a mulching mower to shred the leaves until they are small enough

Home safety checks to complete today

Otherwise, you can use the covers from two garbage pails to achieve a similar effect.

• 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.

A new kitchen or a bathroom remodeling job might be dream projects for many homeowners, but the right home improvement project at a given moment is not necessarily the most glamorous project. Sometimes safety upgrades around the house must take precedence over more popular projects.

Accidents or injuries can occur in any part of the home, but homeowners who take certain preventative measures can greatly reduce their injury risk. The security resource A Secure Life points out that more than 18,000 Americans die every year from injuries that take place in the home. Unintentional injuries account for millions of medical

visits each year. Home injuries also are prevalent elsewhere in the world.

In the United Kingdom, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents reports that there are approximately 6,000 deaths every year that result from accidents at home.

Periodic inspections for potential hazards can keep everyone safe. The following are a handful of ways for homeowners to ensure their homes are as safe as possible.

• Check for sturdy handrails and prevent tripping hazards. Falls are one of the leading causes of home injuries.

Falls can be a particular threat for youngsters and the elderly. To help prevent falls, make sure that staircases feature

sturdy railings and that there is ample lighting in walkways. Remove obstructions from frequently used paths inside and outside the home. In addition, insert nonslip padding beneath runners or throw rugs.

• Check for frayed wires or faulty outlets.

Address any electrical problems around the house, including frayed wiring and faulty outlets. Sparks can lead to fires, and poor wiring may cause unforeseen problems behind walls.

Repair or replace any loose or frayed wires on all electrical devices. Be sure that cords do not run under doorways or rugs.

Replace outlets that are in disrepair and install ones with ground-fault current

interruptors as an added precaution. If small children live in the home, use plastic safety covers over unused outlets.

• Practice window safety. Young children are curious and do not always recognize the inherent dangers around them.

Children excited to see the great outdoors may climb up to peer out windows, and open windows are falling hazards. Screens do not offer an adequate barrier against falls. Consider locking windows or use safety bars to guard against falls. Test to see how easily screens can be pushed out, replacing any that do not provide adequate resistance to curious youngsters’ hands.

• Check smoke and carbon monoxide detec-

with a HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT!

tors. Replace the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors at least twice per year, and test them to make sure they’re in good working order at least once per month. The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing hard-wired smoke alarms every 10 years. Battery-operated alarms may need to be replaced even sooner. Many carbon monoxide detectors work for five to seven years.

Check the back of alarms for a date stamp that indicates how old the product is and when it expires.

Safety checklists are an important part of home maintenance. A proactive approach can prevent both injuries and damage to the home.

Kickers post two shutouts

Kings Mountain High’s soccer team posted a pair of impressive shutouts last week, defeating East Burke 9-0 in a SMAC game and edging a strong South Point team 1-0 in a non-conference contest.

The Mountaineers wasted little time getting on the scoreboard against East Burke at Gamble Stadium.

Just six minutes into the contest, Chase Yow headed home a perfect cross from Nolan Raby for a 1-0 lead.

Seven minutes later Will Robinson got a rebound and slipped a shot inside the far post for a 2-0 lead.

Less than two minutes later, Yow slid a pass to Luke Rikard for a 3-0 lead.

Josh Scism took a ball

into the corner from Rikard and beat a defender and the keeper for a 4-0 lead.

The second half opened with a flurry of goals, first by Scism and then by Landon Wright before the five minute mark. Rikard and Josue Molina set the plate for the goals.

At the 15-minute mark Rikard went one-on-one to beat the keeper for a 7-0 lead, and three minutes later Molina scored off another great pass from Scism on the right flank.

The final goal came with 19 minutes remaining as Molina again went all alone and buried the ball in the back of the net.

John Harris and Richard Fernandez split time in goal

for the Mountaineers.

Kings Mountain and South Point matched 7-2 records for their game in Belmont. South Point controlled most of the possession for the first nine minutes, then Brandon Quevedo-Johns launched a long throw-in to the back post where Rikard headed it home for a 1-0 lead at the 10-minute mark.

The Mountaineers began to play much better after the goal. Chase Yow and Mason Nguyen controlled most of the possession and the Mountaineers threatened on several occasions. KM almost scored late in the half when Rikard’s header off a cross from Yow sailed high and wide.

The Mountaineers started strong in the second half, but the second half of the final period saw the Raiders step up the pressure.

Dewi Eagan entered the game for KM and gave a boost of energy. Nolan Raby, Quevedo-Johns, Will Robinson and Hunter Champion were well organized on defense and helped the shutout effort.

“Without the play of keeper John Harris IV the night could have been much different,” said KM Coach Dan Potter. “He came up real big in the last five minutes as the Raiders pressed to get the equalizer.”

Burns drops bomb on KM, 28-17 Things were looking good for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers when they scored on their first three possessions to take a 17-7 lead in Friday’s SMAC game with Burns at Gamble Stadium.

It marked 12 straight possessions that the KM offense had scored (it went 9-for-9 in a win over East Rutherford the previous Friday). But, leading 17-14 and moving on their final possession of the first half, the Mountaineers were dealt a devastating blow when senior quarterback Darren Burns left the game with a knee injury that may put

Wade will lead KM into Shelby Friday Sometimes when adversity strikes, it’s an opportunity for someone to step up and turn tragedy into triumph.

Doing that in a game against the three-time defending state champion Shelby is a tough order, but Coach Lloyd is confident Wade can handle the challenge.

Even losing his helmet couldn’t stop Kings Mountain’s Qua Brooks (even though this play was ruled dead as soon as the helmet came off) in last week’s JV game at Burns. Brooks gained 176 yards rushing and scored twice in KM’s 30-6 win.

JV Mountaineers win 13th straight, 30-6 Kings Mountain High’s JV football team won its 13th game in a row with a 30-6 victory over Burns Thursday night in Lawndale.

The Mountaineers haven’t lost since the first game of the 2015 season when they fell to Charlotte

Christian. They are 4-0 this season heading into a home game Thursday at 7 p.m. against Shelby.

Qua Brooks, who would gain 176 yards on 16 carries, scored from 24 yards out on the game’s opening drive to give the Patriots a lead they would not relinquish.

Holden Turner caught a two-point conversion pass for an 8-0 lead.

Lannden Zanders returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead later in the first quarter.

Kings Mountain drove 61 yards late in the second quarter to score on a 12-yard

run up the gut by Brooks for a 22-0 halftime lead. Christopher Brittain ran a twopoint conversion.

Max Ellis caught two passes for 18 yards, and Brooks had a big 24 yard run for a first down during the march.

The Bulldogs bit quickly

in the second half, driving the opening kickoff 50 yards in just six plays to score on a six yard run by Hopper to cut the margin to 22-6.

The KM defense adjusted and held the Bulldogs in check the rest of the way.

Kings Mountain’s Quentin Davidson caught a four-

yard touchdown pass from John Harmon Melton, and Melton passed to Bryce Fisher for a two-point conversion to round out the scoring on KM’s first drive of the fourth quarter.

Nathan Groves had a big defensive game for the Mountaineers.

KMMS Patriots beat Shelby 32-14 in opener Kings Mountain Middle School opened its 2016 football season Wednesday at Shelby with a 32-14 victory over the Shelby Blue Devils.

Even though both teams are in the Tri-County Conference, it was a non-division game. Kings Mountain

opens Tri-County Eastern Division play at home today at 5 p.m. against East Lincoln.

The defending TriCounty champion Patriots got off to a great start when Kobe Paysour returned the opening kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown and a 6-0 lead.

He would finish with four of the five KM touchdowns.

Paysour added another first quarter touchdown on a 10-yard catch from Titus Phillips.

Shelby came back to take a 14-12 lead at the end of the quarter, but Kings Mountain grabbed the lead for

good in the second quarter when Paysour caught a 15yard touchdown pass from Devin Pressley to make the score 20-14 at intermission.

The Patriots blew the game open in the second half. Logan Patrick scored from 10 yards out and Damien Wilson ran a two-

point conversion to run the score to 26-14 going into the fourth period when Paysour scored his fourth touchdown on a 65-yard punt return.

Wilson finished with 75 yards rushing.

The Patriots had “great line play and great defense” after the first period, Coach

Tim Gunn said.

KM/BURNS: Burns pulls away after loss of KM starting QB him out for the season.

KM’s offense was slowed considerably after that but the defense held on until the fourth period when Burns rallied with two touchdowns and a 28-17 victory that kept the Bulldogs undefeated (5-0) and sent the Mountaineers to 1-1 in the SMAC and 3-2 overall.

BJ Hopper got behind the KM defense for two touchdown receptions from quarterback Cameron Barbee, including a 55-yard catch that gave the Bulldogs the lead for good with 9:49 left in the game.

Hopper’s pick six with 3:41 remaining put the icing on the cake for the improving Bulldogs, who showed any doubters they might have had that they are back after a couple of sub-par seasons.

“I was pleased with the way we came out,” said KM Coach Greg Lloyd. “We dominated the first quarter.

I thought our offensive line blocked the best we have all year, and that’s encouraging.

“On our first three possessions we were really jelling,” he added. “We were in rhythm and moving the ball and finishing drives. But after that (Burns injury) we never got anything going.

Our defense was okay. But in the second half we gave up too many big plays; that and our turnovers doomed us. It was a tale of two halves, really.”

Kings Mountain built a 10-0 lead on its first two possessions before the Bulldogs’ offense got in gear.

After the Mountaineer defense held Burns to three and out on the game’s opening possession, the offense marched right down the field to the Burns 12 but had to settle for a 35-yard field goal by Micah Randall.

Another three and out and a Burns punt put the Mountaineers in business on their own 21. Freshman running back Ricaylen Mack broke a 40-yard run to the Burns six, and two plays later Burns hit JT Cash with a four-yard TD and a 10-0

Burns got its offense in gear and drove inside Mountaineer territory. The Bulldogs appeared to be stopped when a third and six pass was incomplete, but KM was flagged for a late hit resulting in a first down at the 16. Three plays later Magale Burris went off tackle for a 4-yard touchdown that cut the KM lead to 10-7.

A 47-yard kickoff return

by Shun Allison put KM in business at the Burns 33, and three plays later Burns hit Kavin Mosley for a seven-yard TD and a 17-7 KM lead.

Hopper out-jumped KM Mosley to score on a 44yard TD pass to account for the 17-14 halftime score.

Sophomore Kaylon Wade came on to play quarterback for the Mountaineers in the second half,

Kavin Mosley’s gain to the four-yard line set up a four yard Darren Burns to JT Cash touchdown pass in Friday’s game with Burns.

and the Mountaineers drove the second half kickoff into scoring position. Darian McClain, who re-injured his shoulder earlier, got off an 18-yard run on the first play of the third period, and Allison caught a pass from Wade for a 25-yard gain to the Burns 21. But Hopper proved to be the defensive star of the show for the Bulldogs, too, when he intercepted a pass in the end zone to end what would be the Mountaineers’ final threat.

On the Mountaineers’ first possession of the fourth period, the Burns defense forced a punt and took possession at their own 44.

After a one-yard gain by Burris, Barbee sent Hopper right down the middle of the field and hit him with the 55 yard pass that sealed the win.

KM/CREST: Mounties face defending state champs From Page 10 game and a big crowd – a tough spot.

“But he did some good things out there and he will learn from it. He’ll play a lot better this week. He’ll be ready to go.”

Lloyd said losing Burns, who set a school record for touchdown passes last year and was closing in on the all-time KMHS passing mark, is tough.

“He was playing really good,” Lloyd said. “He had a good first half. He really didn’t get hit. He just sort of

got hung up in the grass.”

Lloyd knows Shelby has one of the best teams in the state, but he is confident that his Mountaineers can play with the Lions.

“Their defense is tough,” he said. “If we can play with them and stop their running game we have a chance to slow them down. I think we’ll play good. We have to stay upbeat and not let what happened last week get us down. We have to be ready to play, and not have any turnovers. We play a lot of people both ways. We just have to suck it up and keep in the game.”

KM netters beat East Burke Kings Mountain High’s tennis team ran its SMAC record to 2-0 Wednesday with a 9-0 victory over previously unbeaten East Burke, but lost their first match of the season Thursday to state power Weddington, 9-0.

Against East Burke, both Natalie Lutz and freshman transfer Madelynn Frye beat their opponents 6-0, 6-0.

They also won in doubles without dropping a game.

The top six singles matches for KM only dropped a total of seven games.

“We are starting to have numerous injuries as we come down the stretch in conference play,” said KM Coach Rick Henderson.

“Most of our injuries seem to be shoulder related. Presently, Natalie is nursing a re-occurring shoulder injury from last year. Playing golf and tennis in the same season is starting to take its toll on her body. Madelynn is dealing with some shoulder issues as well as Carrigan Leatherman. Kassie Johnson is dealing with an Achilles tendon issue.

“Our players need some rest, but we have to dig deep and finish the task at hand and that’s to focus on winning the conference championship. Repeating

as conference champions would be sweet, but we have to maintain our focus on playing one team at a time and not look too far in front of us.”

The Lady Mountaineers entertained a very strong team from Weddington Thursday. With the exception of one or two matches, the remaining matches were close.

“The match was closer than the score indicates,” said Coach Henderson.

“We’re not taking anything away from the Weddington team; they were more consistent than we were.

Without the services of Natalie Lutz due to resting her shoulder, that pushed our girls to play one position up and it made a difference.

Had Natalie played, the outcome would have been different, I can assure you.

“Weddington has been a semifinalist in the state tournament the last two years and three years ago won the state championship.

Having played Weddington will only make us a stronger team as we come down the stretch in conference play and as we face post season play.”

6-0; Madelynn Frye won 6-0, 6-0; MC Johnson won 6-0, 6-0; Carrigan Leatherman won 6-1, 6-2; Kassie Johnson won 6-2, 6-0; Amber Belcher won 6-1, 6-0.

How to Prevent Falls at Home Dear Savvy Senior, My 79-year-old mother, who lives alone, has fallen several times over the past year. Are there any extra precautions we should take that can help prevent this?

Worried Daughter Dear Worried, Falls are a big concern for many elderly seniors and their families. Each year, 1-in-3 older Americans fall, making it the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for those age 65 and older.

But many falls can be prevented. Depending on what’s causing your mom to fall, here are some different tips that can help protect her.

Encourage exercise: Weak leg muscles and poor balance are two of the biggest risk factors that cause seniors to fall. Tai chi, walking, water aerobics and strength training are all good for improving balance and strength, as are a number of simple balance exercises that she can do anytime like standing on one foot for 30 seconds then switching to the other foot, and walking heel-totoe across the room.

For additional balance and leg strength-

ening exercises the National Institute on Aging offers free exercise guides and a DVD that you can order at Go4Life.nia.nih.gov.

Review her medications: Does your mom take any medicine, or combination of medicines, that make her dizzy, sleepy or lightheaded? If so, gather up all the drugs she takes – prescriptions and over-the-counter – and take them to her doctor or pharmacist for a drug review and adjustment.

Get her vision checked: Poor vision can be another contributor to falls, so get your mom’s eyes checked every year.

She may be wearing the wrong glasses or have developed a condition such as glaucoma or cataracts that make it harder to see obstacles on the floor.

Modify her home: There are also a number of simple household modifications you can do to make your mom’s living area safer. Start by arranging or moving the furniture so there are clear pathways to walk through, and by picking up items on the floor that could cause her to trip like newspapers, shoes, clothes, electrical or phone cords.

If she has throw rugs, remove them or use double-sided tape to secure them.

In the bathroom buy some non-skid rugs for the floors and a rubber suction-grip mat or adhesive non-skid tape for the floor of the tub or shower, and have a carpenter install grab bars in and around the tub/shower for support.

Purchase some helpful aids: If your mom needs some help, talk to her doctor or a physical therapist about getting her fit for a cane or walker.

For more tips, call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 and order a free copy of their “Preventing Falls at Home” brochure. Or, get an occupational therapist to come in and assess your mom’s home for fall risks. Medicare will pay for this service if prescribed by a doctor.

Also, to help ensure your mom’s safety, and provide you some peace of mind, get her a medical alert device like Bay Alarm Medical (BayAlarmMedical. com), one of the most reliable and affordable devices available today. For less than $1 per day, this offers an emergency alert button – either in the form of a necklace pendent, wristband or wall-mounted buttons placed in high fall risk areas like the bathroom and kitchen – so she could call for help anytime if she were to fall or need assistance.

Choose safe footwear: Your mom should be aware that going barefoot or wearing slippers or socks at home can also cause falls, as can wearing backless shoes, high heels, and shoes with smooth leather soles. The safest option are rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes.

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.

Also, make sure the lighting throughout the house is good, purchase some inexpensive plug-in nightlights for the bathrooms and hallways, and if she has stairs, put handrails on both sides.

From the moment you step through the door, you’ll feel right at home.
