KMLT curtain going up on Hitchcock thriller The outrageously funny stage version of Hitchcock's 1935 film thriller, “The 39 Steps,'' opens Friday night at 7:30 p.m. by the Kings Mountain Little Theatre at the Joy Performance Center downtown with shows on Saturday night at 7:30 and 3 p.m. Sunday. “This show is unlike any I have done before, it's incredibly fast-moving and the cast is amazing as they create the scenes and characters before your eyes,'' says Director Wendy Walega. She continued “I read somewhere that tech is considered another member of the cast of “The 39 Steps” and its' true. There are almost 100 sound cues and about 50 light cues, not to mention the fog machine,'' she says. Walega says there are several homages to classic Hitchcock movies for those keeping a sharp eye and ear and just like in the movies the man himself may make a cameo appearance.
This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award winner includes theatrical hi jinks including gunshots and other loud noises, pratfalls, staged violence, daring feats of physical agility, unabashed silliness ad the use of flickering lights and fog machines. Kurt Hassler plays the ''hero'' Richard Hannay and Dawn Rickus plays all three female roles - Annabella Schmidt, the mysterious spy; Margaret, the Crofter's wife who becomes an ally of the wanted fugitive and Pamela, the feisty, reluctant partner. Kevin Burke, Jim Chandler, Trey Ross and Austin Willis play all the remaining 60 characters, at times changing from one character to another within seconds. The plot centers around Richard Hannay ( Kurt Hassler), a bored Londoner until See KMLT, Page 7A

Most of the articles I write are about the history of our area and things our community COZART does to promote the Battle of Kings Mountain. But, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution also provides local community grant funding to support projects exemplifying the organization’s mission areas of Historic Preservation, Education and Patriotism. The program is open to public charity 501(c)(3) entities only. Grant funding will be awarded to a successful applicant only once during a DAR administration (every three years).. Grants of $1,000 - $2,000 are encouraged, with a maximum amount of $10,000. Secured funds are not required to originate with the organization applying for the grant, but may originate with multiple donors or completed fundraising. Projects must be completed within one year of initial grant funding (official grant year is July 1 - June 30). Completed applications must be postmarked by December 31 each year. The Marker to African American Patriots is one example of a Special Projects Grant. This particular project originated with the Col. Fred-
erick Hambright Chapter themselves, but most projects originate with outside organizations and local DAR chapters recommend them for funding. Other examples of projects include, but are
tions to fly the American flag at national sites, and Erection of veterans’ monuments. Historic Preservation: Restoration of historic buildings or sites, Preservation of documents or records, including cataloging and digitalization, Conservation of cemetery
EDUCATION
CEMETERY not limited to: Education: Museum exhibits, Interpretive display panels, Children’s mentoring programs and teachers’ aids, Donation of books or resource materials for tutoring or literacy programs, and English language tutoring.

BEAUFORD BURTON I know evil has been here since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, but it seemed far removed most of the time from the people in the U.S. Certainly we had wars and rumors of wars. Most though were not on our soil. Surely too, we had people doing wrong including slavery and racism, not just against blacks but also against Chinese, Italians, Irish, Japanese and against poor whites. In the last 8 years these kinds of evils and many others have grown to unbearable numbers and they include some of the same old ones. The ones that haven’t touched us greatly until the Twin Tower calamity
were the terrorists grown out of Islam. The others that didn’t always stand out in peoples minds are the numbers of abortions, the attacks from our own President against our Constitution because of his desire for a one world order. The latest, close to home event, is the shootings in Charlotte. Notice please that I used the plural of shootings. First, the shooting of the man by a police officer. Next, the shooting of a man by a rioter supposedly angered or upset over the shooting of a man by a police officer. This one I never dreamed would be this close to us but I knew there was a possibility. There is no need for me to try and bring justification to the shooting of the man by a police officer and neither can I bring justification to the people that are protesting or rioting because I simply don’t have enough information to uphold either.
What I do have, that I think is worth sharing, is an opinion about the rioting. First, let me say that I was tagged in a post on Facebook that stated “No one can possibly know what is on the hearts of either group. Same pain different expression. “ I must add that I agree with the statement that no one knows the hearts of others, and I agree that some may need to express themselves differently than others. For example, some may choose to peacefully march with others in protest, some may choose to pray individually or with groups, some may want to buy billboard space to seed their message, some may want to do what I’m doing here and find a media to express their feelings. BUT, in NO circumstances should one or a group cause physical damage to another person or group, NOR should they cause damage to other’s property. The only time that behavior is even close to acceptable
is if war has been declared against someone. In the case in Charlotte it appears war has been declared against neighbors, businesses and innocents. Otherwise the second shooting and death would not have occurred. Folks, I’m not saying there are no race issues in this country. I believe there are issues on both sides and neither side has the right to be violent toward each other. In fact, if we’re truly Christian and brothers and sisters in Christ the only side should be one of compassion, but not justification of evil. Praying a colorblind prayer for all lost souls, especially those dealing with the unrest in Charlotte. Praying that once again God will bless our great nation of opportunity.

Video series begins Sunday at Eastside Baptist Eastside Baptist Church, York Road, will begin a special video series, “The Seven Churches of the Revelation” on Sunday evening, Oct. 2, at 6 p.m. The series will continue each Sunday evening in October, with exception of Sunday, Oct. 30, and the first and fourth Sunday evenings in November. The final three sessions will resume in January 8, 15 and 22, 2017. When Jesus Christ sent messages to seven First Century churches they were timely and accurate. But 2000 years later, in the 21st Century, those messages can help us and our churches as well. The primary meaning can have personal application for our lives. But those
seven letters also have an uncanny prophetic significance. Viewed in hindsight, the seven letters seem to chart the historical unfolding of the Christian church from then, until now. This video series, “The Seven Letters of Revelation,’’ focuses primarily on Christ’s condemnation and criticisms of the seven churches in Asia Minor. Rev. Ron Caulder, Eastside Pastor, extends an invitation to all who would like to learn more about these early churches and their message to us today as taught by Dr. David Jeremiah, pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California and founder of Turning Point Ministries.

■ MEDITATION
Wild Goats! Wish I had a picture, but just imagine looking out at the street in front of your home and seeing a herd of about 20 to 30 wild goats JAMES come parading LOCHRIDGE, JR. down the street 29G, Kamay, simply making Noord, Aruba their way aimlessly through the neighborhood. It’s a common sight in Aruba. Some months ago a herd came through while none of us were in Aruba and began eating the flowers in the beds in front of my brother’s house. The neighbors called the police and
when they arrived they thought it was funny and called the TV station. Soon a reporter and camera crew arrived and filmed the scene and interviewed my brother’s neighbor for the evening news. The police told the neighbor that she was within her rights to drive the goats on down the street and that if she wanted one for a neighborhood BBQ, to just single it out and take it as payment for damage to the community and private foliage. Don’t think she did then, but we’ve been thinking about it since they have come back down the street on numerous occasions since then. But I simply go out on the patio and tell them to scat and they so far have stayed on the other side of the road. They aren’t mean or threatening, they are just doing what wild goats normally do; eating and playing
around without any real purpose or goal in life. As I watched the goats, I was reminded of the Scripture found in Matthew 9: 35 - 38. “Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’ “ Matthew 25 tells us about the coming judgment and God separating as it were, the sheep (His children) from the goats (those outside of the family of faith because they have rejected God’s only means of forgiveness - Jesus, the Christ). The animals look a lot alike and make similar noise. Likewise, people with and without Christ, look very much alike and make similar noises. Some-
times it is hard to tell us apart. We sheep are supposed to live differently and talk differently from goats, but the truth is I have met sheep that acted like goats and goats that were better representatives of what sheep should look and act like that many of the real sheep I have known. Yes, I’m talking about Christians and non-Christians. I have often been treated better and respected more by non-Christians than by some who have identified themselves as brothers and sisters in Christ. Maybe it is the Shepherd and how closely we listen to and obey His voice that does more to differentiate us from one group or the other. Goats who imitate sheep are still goats and sheep who act like goats at times are still sheep, but all would do well to follow the Great Shepherd, Jesus. David said in Psalm 23 that the Shepherd would provide all his need, leading him into green pastures, beside still waters, along paths of righteousness and be ever present to protect in the valley of the shadow of death, to provide abundantly in the presence of
his enemies, and as his anointed, chosen as he responded to the Shepherd’s voice in faith, his cup would overflow with blessings and heaven would be his final dwelling place for eternity. I’m glad I said yes to that Shepherd as a 6 year old boy and have had the privilege of responding to His voice for some 60 years now. No doubt, there have been times I acted as though I had no Shepherd, but He has reached out in loving discipline to bring me back into the safety of the flock and His fold. The good news is that in spiritual terms, goats can become sheep by repenting of sin and confessing Jesus Christ, the Great and Good Shepherd as their Lord and Savior. I am told that in Israel, in the evening sheep from different flocks are often put in a common corral for safety. Then in the morning, the shepherds stand at the gate and call their sheep out by name and the sheep respond to his voice. I am so glad that Jesus knows my name. Does He know yours? If not, join His flock today. Not to do so is a Baaaa-d idea!

Have you been everywhere (in Cleveland County)? Al Dunkleman, Sociology instructor and discipline coordinator at Cleveland Community College, took guests on a musical trek through Cleveland County as he discussed the creative process journey from song to his CD, “Welcome to Cleveland County,'' at Mauney Memorial Library Monday night. Dunkelman's CD, his third, traces much of the cultural and historical landscape of Cleveland County in its 16 tracks that includes 11 original works as well as covers of songs by Earl Scruggs and Don Gibson. The musical journey took guests through Revolutionary times, introduced them to several of the county’s favorite locales and provided a glimpse into some of the tragedies that stay with communities long after they occur. The songs are delivered in a tight and engaging format, with lyrics that are heart-felt. Dunkleman describes the group’s musical style as “full-bodied organic Americana infused with hints of folk, bluegrass and oldschool country.” As he discussed the project, Dunkleman said that he “never set out to create a CD that would focus solely on
DUNKLEMAN Cleveland County -- it just sort of evolved over time.” The result is one that pleased him and he is proud of the collaboration with his band, Natural Blend, which features three North Carolina natives, including his wife Karen Dunkleman on upright bass; Randy Saxon on banjo, mandolin and electric guitar; and David Rhyne on percussion. Also featured on the project is guest artist Darin Aldridge. Dunkleman, who grew up in western New York in a family with 10 kids, was always appreciative of music but was really smitten with “old-time” music in his teens and later, during a visit to the Boone area of NC, decided he would move there. At age 21, he pursued a series of odd jobs and continues both his
formal and musical education. For the past 14 years, he has taught sociology at Cleveland Community College in Shelby while enjoying playing music with his friends. His two previous CDs were “Take the Road Less Traveled,” in 2007 and “When We Were Young,” in 2011. “Welcome to Cleveland County” is available for purchase in uptown Shelby at the Cleveland County Arts Council, Shelby Music Center, Shelby Café and Dragonfly Winery. Digital downloads are available at iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon and other outlets. Visit www. aldunkleman.com. His current project was made possible by generous support from Cleveland Community College and the Cleveland Community College Foundation. Additional support was provided by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the State Department of Cultural Resources, the Blumenthal Endowment and the Cleveland County Arts Council.

2017 with completion date of 10 months. The total cost of the project is $ 1.9 M. The estimated cost to construct the facility is $1.45 million including professional fees and construction loan interest. CHCC already owns the land. Additional funding of $147,000 is needed for programming changes including furnishings/ equipment and additional personnel. A total of $228,000 is needed for construction contingencies and a facilities maintenance fund. A total of $475,000 is budgeted for campaign fund raising and marketing costs. This project will provide Cleveland County's first completely independent residential living program for at-risk young people transitioning into adulthood. The nearest such services are more than 50 miles away. In the past three years, 22 young adults in Cleveland County have aged out of foster care. Two apartments will each have a living room, a complete kitchen with dining area, a bedroom, a bathroom and laundry facilities. Separate entrances, with no internal access to the rest of the building are provided to ensure the safety and the privacy of the resident. The apartment will be furnished, but each resident will have the opportunity to use their own resources to decorate and make the apartment their home. Each participant will have responsibilities and supervision at the level they require to ensure their success in the program. The new facility will allow for the expansion and improvement of other services such as the visitation program in which parents under a court order come to CHCC for professionally supervised visits with their child. While there is currently space for the visit to take place, there is no waiting area forcing parents and families to wait in their vehicle or on the porch for their appointment. Additionally, there is no private location for visitation staff to consult with parents prior to the scheduled visit. One of the first visitation programs in the country to be accredited and the only service of its kind in Cleveland County, the visitation program is a critical piece in the reunification of children and families.
FORUM From Page 1A in the Nov. 8 election – to come to the event and letters are going out to churches to send at least 10 members to the forum. Hager said that the church with the most members at the forum will receive a certificate and their group picture will be published in The Herald. As customary, the groups planning the event will serve free hot dogs with all the trimmings and door prizes will be presented. Candidates will present their objectives and proposals and questions will be put to each candidate about various concerns. Former State Rep. Pearl Burris of Gastonia will be moderator for the question-answer session
CHCC staff transport children to and from the current site, which is attached to James Home, for their court-ordered visitation with parents. Visits occur under professional supervision by CHCC ensuring the physical safety of the children. On average about 150 children are served each year. CHCC's outpatient mental health services will be able to double its professional capacity and the related clinical space with the new building. CHCC reeives on average 45-50 new calls each month for services and maintains a waiting list of at least 10 individuals. In service to individuals traumatized by physical, emotional or sexual abuse, CHCC offers the only local, professionally-trained therapists in trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral therapeutic methods that teach survivors coping skills to heal from abuse. Therapists are also trained to teach survivors how to change behaviors resulting from trauma and chronic stress. These nationally-recognized therapeutic techniques have proven rehabilitative outcomes. Last year, 130 individuals were served. Shared parenting because of divorce is often very difficult and communication is key, say officials. CHCC began offering co-parenting classes which teach communication skills, at the request of the Cleveland County District Court ,and is the preferred trainer of co-parenting classes. Statistics show that within four years of leaving foster care 25% of young adults are homeless, 71% are parents, 25% experience post traumatic stress disorder and 33% of males and 75% of females will require public assistance to provide basic needs. Tragically, out of desperation, many return to the unhealthy, unsafe environment where they lived before entering foster care. A local, independent living program can help Cleveland County beat these statistics, say leaders in the fund drive of the not-for-profit Children's Homes which have served children and families for a quarter century. Campagn co-chairmen Justin Merritt and Jay Gragg say that contributions can be made by contacting the office of the Children's Homes at 704-4842558.

Mountaineers host Draughn Wildcats Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers hope to put their two recent losses to county rivals Burns and Shelby behind them and get back into the win column Friday when they host Valdese Draughn at 7:30 at
John Gamble Stadium. Draughn comes to town with a 0-3 conference and 1-5 overall record, but KM Coach Greg Lloyd cautions players and fans not to be over confident. The Wildcats have played some of the
toughest teams in the area. Draughn has dropped five in a row since opening its season with a 27-14 win over West Lincoln. Their losses have come to some of the best teams in the area, including Freedom, Pat-
ton, Crest and RS Central. Last week, the Wildcats fell 28-14 to a very good Chase team with the Trojans’ final touchdown coming on a long run on the last play of the game. Their quarterback, senior

KM JVs remain undefeated with 28-15 win over Shelby Kings Mountain used two time-consuming fourth quarter drives that resulted in touchdowns and a 28-15 victory over Shelby in SMAC JV action Thursday night at Gamble Stadium. It was the fifth straight win this year, and 14th straight over the past two seasons for the Mountaineers. Shelby got an 86-yard touchdown run from Fabian Pettis, and an extra point kick from Zachary Ledbetter to take a 15-14 lead with just 6:56 left on the clock. But behind the running
of Qua Brooks, who would finish the night with 134 yards rushing, the Mountaineers moved 62 yards in nine plays to take a 20-15 lead on a one-yard sneak by quarterback John Harmon Melton. Brooks carried six times for 38 yards in the march, and Melton had a 15-yard bootleg around left end for a key first down at the Shelby 20. With KM missing the point-after, Shelby still had a shot at winning, but two See KMHS JV, Page 2B

The two American flags the KMHS student section proudly waved prior to Friday’s football game at Shelby got everyone excited, but once the game started the red, white and blue gave way to yellow as the officials couldn’t keep their flags in their pocket in Shelby’s 39-9 victory over the Mountaineers. The two teams combined for almost 200 yards of penalties in the SMAC encounter, which took over three hours to play. Shelby maintained a tie for first with Burns, running its mark to 6-0 overall while KM suffered its second straight loss to fall to 1-2 in the conference and 3-3 overall.

Kings Mountain’s Chris Brittain catches a pass for a twopoint conversion in last week’s win over Shelby.
good plays by KM’s Lannden Zanders sealed the win for the Mountaineers. First, Zanders put the kickoff in the end zone for a touchback, forcing the Lions to start their last-hope drive from the 20. After KM linebacker Michael Pruiksma stopped Shell for no gain on first down, Zannders made a remarkable leaping interception of a Shelby pass at the Mountaineers’ 40 yard line. After an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Lions, Brooks ran twice for 10 yards to set up Melton’s 36-yard keeper around left end for the insurance touchdown with 1:07 remaining. Melton passed to Brittain for the two-point conversion. On Shelby’ first play
after the kickoff, KM’s Titus Clark recovered a fumble to seal the deal. Kings Mountain got a five-yard touchdown run by Brooks to cap a 59-yard, 12play second quarter drive for an early 6-0 lead. A 17yard reception by Christopher Brittain set up the TD. Shelby responded with a one-yard touchdown run by Donye Fuller and a twopoint conversion pass from Shell to Fuller to go on top 8-6 with 5:53 left in the half. Kings Mountain drove 60 yards in 11 plays to go into halftime with a 14-8 lead. Melton hit Bryce Fisher with a four-yard touchdown pass, and then passed to Brittain for the two-point conversion. Harmon hit 16 of 21 passes for 141 yards. Zanders caught seven for 58 yards and Holden Turner caught four for 32 yards.
KM/SHELBY: Lions maul the Mounties 39-9 From Page 1B sive back Shun Allison made a perfect read of a sideline pass play. He cut in front of the intended receiver and had an open field in front of him, but dropped an interception. Four plays later Shelby quarterback Malik Surratt kept the ball for a five-yard touchdown run around right end to put the Lions on top 7-0. Kings Mountain got deep into Shelby territory on its first three possessions, but was able to get just three points on a 33-yard field goal by Micah Randall. The field goal was set up by freshman Ricaylen Mack’s 45 yard run to the Shelby two. After Shelby’s opening score, Allison returned the ensuing kickoff 49 yards to the Shelby 45. The Mountaineers worked the ball down field behind the running of quarterback Kaylon Wade and Mack and two timely first down catches by Madisyn Bolin and Kavin Mosley, but they eventually fumbled at the Lions’ seven. “We missed some good opportunities,” said KM Coach Greg Lloyd. “We had a couple of plays that could have put us ahead. We could have easily had a 20-point half and made a game of it.
Kings Mountain’s JT Cash closes in on Shelby QB Ben Philips in Friday’s game in Shelby. (Photo by Gary Smart) We needed to make plays but it just didn’t happen. “I thought we played much better in the second half,” he added. “Defensively, we put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. We were being held on every play but we still got pres-
sure on him. We just have to learn from it and move on.” Another Surratt touchdown and a safety pushed Shelby’s lead to 39-3 going into the fourth quarter. The Lions were driving again in the fourth period when KM’s Eric Garcia re-
covered a fumble at the KM 24. Behind the running and passing of Wade, the Mountaineers covered 76 yards in seven plays to score on a 22yard pass from Wade to Donatrius Hughes. Catches of 36 and four yards by Mike Toms set it up.
In their opening SMAC game, the Wildcats trailed defending state champion Crest by just 7-0 at halftime before the Chargers broke the game open in the second half in a 27-0 win. Two weeks ago, they fell to an
extremely talented RS Central team 26-7. Their two non-conference losses were to Burke County powers, undefeated Patton, and Freedom, whose only loss was to Shelby. “They played a solid
game last week (against Chase),” Lloyd said. “We have to get past our losses and come back strong. We feel like we will be back on the winning side and have a good season. This season is far from being over.”

Kings Mountain Middle’s Damien Wilson (22) scores for Patriots in win over East Lincoln.
Patriots roll over East Lincoln 40-6 Kings Mountain Middle scored on its first five possessions to defeat East Lincoln’s Falcons 40-6 in Tri-County Conference action Wednesday at John Gamble Stadium. The Patriots, 1-0 in the Eastern Division and 2-0 overall, travel to West Lincoln this afternoon at 5 p.m. Fifth quarter action begins at 4:30. It took the Patriots just three plays to drive the opening kickoff 55 yards for an 8-0 lead. Damien Wilson had two runs of 20 yards sandwiched around a 15yard run by Logan Patrick. Wilson’s second run accounted for the touchdown, and he also ran the two-point conversion.
After East Lincoln lost the ball on downs at the KM 24 and a five-yard illegal procedure penalty against the Patriots, it took KM just four plays to score. Quarterback Titus Clark and receiver Kobe Paysour hooked up on a 55-yard catch and run, and Rashad Brooks ran the two-point conversion for a 16-0 lead at the 1:32 mark of the first period. East Lincoln rebounded briefly and scored on a 20yard run by McConnell to cut the margin to 16-6 at the end of the first period. The Patriots drove the ensuing kickoff 55 yards in eight plays to take a 24-6 lead on Phillips’ one-yard run and Brooks’ two-point conversion. Wilson’s 20-
yard run set up the score. Phillips’ 15-yard pass to Caleb Watkins, and a twopoint conversion pass to Devin Pressley, increased the lead to 32-8 at intermission. A 21-yard run by Brooks set it up. A pass interception by Brooks on the first play of the second half, and a 15yard penalty against East for hitting Brooks out of bounds, put KM in business at the East 26. On first down, Phillips hit Paysour for a 35yard touchdown, and Wilson ran the two-point conversion to end the scoring. Kings Mountain coaches used the remainder of the game to get their reserves some playing time.

Kings Mountain High’s soccer team defeated Burns 10-1 Wednesday at Burns. Both teams came out strong and the ball went up and down the field until Mason Nguyen took a slot pass from Luke Rikard and drilled a shot to the lower left hand side of the goal for a 1-0 KM advantage. Three minutes later it was Nguyen setting up center back, Holden Bullock, on a perfectly weighted back pass that was drilled from 25 yards out. The shot skimmed across the top of the grass and squirted underneath the diving keeper for a 2-0 early lead. Four minutes later it was Josh Scism that got into the action as he took a crossing pass from Nolan Raby and buried it from 8 yards out. Nguyen would score his second goal of the match five minutes later as he blasted a shot from 24 yards out that dipped into the right upper ninety for a four goal lead. Burns did not go down without a fight as they got on the board off a long throw in that fell at the feet of a Bulldog player. He calmly passed the ball around the Mountaineer keeper, John Harris at the 22 minute mark for a 4-1 score. Less than a minute after the Burns score, Luke Ri-
kard scored a tap in goal on the back post as Josh Scism set the table. It was Scism who got the favor returned to him as Josue Nemar Molina slid the cross to Scism that got the tap in goal just 3 minutes later. Rikard would get his second score of the night as Hunter Champion played a super through ball that Rikard collected and slotted home with 10 minutes left in the half. The final goal of the half was recorded by Mitchell Hord as he put back a deflection off a scoring attempts by Nguyen and Scism. The half ended with the KM defense holding strong and the offense piling up the goals with a 8-1 advantage. The second half started right where the first ended as Josue Nemar Molina scored less than a minute and a half into the period as he took a long throw in from Brandon Quevedo-Johns and dribbled in all along and slotted the ball past the Bulldog keeper. The final goal of the evening came off a nice pass from Mitchell Hord who slotted a ball between two defenders and sent Will Smith-Robinson in on a breakaway. Will calmly passed the ball just inside the far post for the final score of 10-1.

KM tennis remains unbeaten in SMAC
KM tenth in CC meet in Boone
Kings Mountain High’s tennis team shutout Burns and East Rutherford last week to remain undefeated in the South Mountain Athletic Conference. Monday, the KM ladies defeated East Rutherford 5-0 in a match cut short because of inclement weather in the area. “I couldn’t help but notice that East Rutherford had improved significantly over last year,” said KM Coach Rick Henderson, “but the Mountaineers were just too much for East Rutherford as we dominated the match in the five singles that were played. Our freshman sensation and #2 seed Madelynn Frye stepped in to fill the void at the #1 spot (due to Natalie Lutz playing in a SMAC golf match) and disposed
Kings Mountain High’s cross country teams finished 10th in the High Country Cross Country Classic Saturday at Watauga High in Boone. Twenty-three schools were represented, but all of them did not have enough runners to score as a team. Nicola Bridges was the top female for Kings Mountain, posting a 19th place finish with a time of 23:13. In the boys race, Malachi Wingate finished 31st with a time of 19:08. Other finishers for the KM boys were Dane Skeith 56th, Jesse Hughes 66th, Caleb Barnes 71st, Jalen Roberts 84th, Zachary Falls 90th, and Bryson Key 105th. Other finishers for the Lady Mountaineers were Conner Calhoun 48th, Brooke Clark 68th, Kassidy Hamrick 76th, Zahra Roberts 81st, Zoe Eagan 86th and Carolina Foster 91st.
of a much more experienced player (senior Carson Marshall) from East Rutherford by the score of 6 – 1, 6 – 1.” Wednesday, the Lady Mountaineers defeated Burns 9-0. In singles play Natalie Lutz, Madelynn Frye, MC Johnson and Kassie Johnson beat their opponents 6 – 0, 6 – 0. The top six singles matches for KM only dropped a total of three games, therefore dominating the Burns team. Natalie and Madelynn also won in doubles by not dropping a game. “Hopefully our injuries are starting to subside as we wind down conference play and prepare for the post season,” Henderson said. Lutz, last year’s MVP, continues her quest for Player of the Year honors
in the SMAC as she remains undefeated at the #1 singles position. She has yet to lose a single game in conference play and has only given up one game this entire season. Her overall record in singles play is 7 – 0. “I need Natalie to focus on one match at a time,” Henderson said. “Natalie came within one point of earning the POY honors in the final conference match against Crest last year where she had match point against Lauren Scism, but unfortunately hit a backhand too early and the ball landed out, therefore giving Scism a second chance against Natalie where Nat ended up losing a three set match against Lauren. Natalie and Lauren met two other times during the year
and Natalie got the best of Lauren as she disposed of Lauren in the finals of the SMAC championship tournament and then beat Lauren a week later in the regionals in straight sets.” The Lady Mountaineers face Shelby at KMHS on Monday, September 26 and are away against Draughn on Wednesday, September 28. Senior night is on Monday, October 3 at the KMHS tennis courts against county arch rival Crest. KM 9, BURNS 0 Singles Natalie Lutz (KM) d. Bailey Cantrell 6-0, 6-0; Madelynn Frye (KM) d.

KM’s Shonda Cole selected for Gamecocks Hall of Fame Kings Mountain’s Shonda Cole, former volleyball star for the Kings Mountain Lady Mountaineers and the University of South Carolina, has been selected for induction into the South Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame. “It never even crossed my mind that I would receive an award like this,” Cole said. “I’m definitely blessed and grateful and honored to be receiving something so prestigious
like that.” Cole, a member of the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame along with her father, former KMHS and Florida State basketball star Otis Cole, is in her second year as assistant head coach of the Lady Gamecocks. Cole became the first Gamecock volleyball player to earn All-America honors, being named honorable mention in 2006. She was also named to the All-SEC first team in 2006, as well
as second team in both 2004 and 2005. Cole finished her career ranked first all-time in three major categories, points per set, kills per set, and attacks. She still holds Carolina’s career record for all three, accomplished in 2006. She also played several years of professional volleyball. “One of my goals as a coach is to make sure these girls have a great experience after their four years, and being able to relate to
them just because I’ve gone through the student-athlete experience at South Carolina, it has definitely helped them. Any time they have questions, whether it’s on the court or off the court, I try to share my experience that I had here with them.” Cole, who also played basketball at KMHS, led the 2001 KMHS volleyball team to the state championship and was North Carolina Player of the Year.

New concession stand, restrooms open at KMHS The new concession stand and restroom facility at Kings Mountain’s John Gamble Stadium was officially opened last week to a capacity crowd. The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club raised the funds for the facility, but still needs an additional $25,000 to cover late additions to make the facility more functional and more attractive. Touchdown Club president David Brinkley said epoxy flooring and astro turf for the outside entrance
were added, as well as new stainless steel commercial kitchen items. Persons interested in donating to this project may send a check to KMTD Building Fund, PO box 2017, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. “The building adds a beautiful dimension to the Kings Mountain High School campus,” Brinkley said. “We would like to thank Hagans Construction Group (Trent Hagans), and many sub-contractors involved in the construc-
tion of the new concession stand. These individuals worked tirelessly through a very hot summer, many times staying from daylight to dark in order to finish. They constructed a beautiful building of which we can all be proud.” Brinkley stressed that the Touchdown Club was dedicated to using local contractors. “Kings Mountain is very fortunate to have local talent that provides excellent services and pricing,” he said. The concession stand fa-
cility is phase two of a threephase building program that includes the new Brinkley Field House and will eventually include a new press box at the football stadium. The following contractors and sub-contractors worked on the building and grounds with many of them providing their services free or at a greatly reduced rate: Hagans Construction Group (Trent Hagans, Don Phifer, Scott Welch, Kenny Mitchem and Kevin Randall); Gray Surveying Co. (Joey Gray), Kerns Truck-
ing (Clyde Kerns), Just in Time Plumbing (Justin Watts), Martin’s Electric (Chris Martin), Butler Landscaping (Jason Butler), Quality Fence Solutions (Nathan Johnson), Bagwell Painting (Robert Bagwell), Baxter Roofing (Max Baxter), Masonry Unlimited of Cherryville (Martin and Jake), Brick Shale (formerly Cunningham), Concrete Supply (David Allen), Boiling Springs Concrete (Robert Bridges), Johnson Block (Lexington), Carolina Cooks (kitchen equipment),
City of Kings Mountain (waived permit fees), C&C Heating and Cooling (Bobby and Alex Childers), Calvin Huffman (free grading and column footing dig), Wesson Septic Tank Service (deal on porta john), Larissa Coles (retaining wall design), Larissa Coles (retaining wall design), Joel Wood and Associates (deal on wall inspection), Commercial Glass Curtis Farmer (store front windows and deal on mirrors), and Holland and Hamrick Associates (Roger Holland).

KM kickers shutout Shelby Kings Mountain High’s soccer team got a first half goal from Josh Scism to defeat Shelby 1-0 in a SMAC match Monday night at Gamble Stadium. Both teams came out hungry to get on the board first but neither team was getting very good looks at the others goal. Shelby had a deep throw-in that was calmly caught by the Mountaineers keeper John Harris IV at the 12 minute mark. That scenario was played out many time throughout the match as the visitors were denied many scoring opportunities by Harris. With 15 minutes left in the first half Nolan Raby sent a long ball up to Scism, who beat a Lion defender and dribbled all alone into the penalty area. The keeper came out but Scism passed the ball into the back of the net for the only goal of the game. Just five minutes later Luke Rikard was denied a goal from point blank range. Back and forth the teams battled but the half would end with the host Mountaineers up 1-0. The second half began with the Golden Lions beginning to apply a good bit of pressure on the Mountaineer defense. Hunter Champion, Brandon Quevedo-Johns, Holden Bullock and Will Robinson held the Lions to few scoring opportunities. With just 6:30 into the second half, the match was delayed due to lightening in the area. Both teams went into their respective locker rooms and the waiting game ensued. After being inside for just about an hour, the
teams were beckoned back on to the pitch. The Lions would control most of the possession as the Mountaineers settled into a bit of a bunker for the remainder of the match. Fifteen minutes remained in the match when the clouds dumped tremendous amounts of rain onto the pitch. Lacking any lightening, the match continued. Each team had players that completely lost their footing as the ground became extremely slippery. At least three times in the closing five minutes of regulation, the Golden Lions missed opportunities to tie the match. Mountaineer keeper John Harris came up with several outstanding saves to preserve the shut out and win the match for the host team that now sports an 11-2 record for the season. "This is the first time that the men at Kings Mountain have defeated Shelby in well over 15 years," said coach Dan Potter. "I couldn't be any prouder of these young men for their efforts in tonight’s match." They celebrated at center field shortly before they sprinted to the end of the field and rang the Victory Bell. "John Harris was certainly the Man of the Match as he denied the Golden Lions multiple chances to score tonight,." The Mountaineers will travel to Draughn in SMAC conference play on Wednesday before hosting Polk County on Thursday. The matches Thursday are scheduled for 5 and 6:30.

Kings Mountain’s Natural gas pipelines quietly, reliably and ef¿ciently deliver natural gas throughout the country for domestic and industrial use. As part of the greater industry’s 2.3 million miles of natural gas and liquid pipelines, Kings Mountain operates a natural gas distribution system that safely delivers large quantities of energy to fuel the economy and keep us warm every day. Pipelines are the safest and most cost effective way of delivering energy in existence. The City of Kings Mountain would like to inform residents about the accident prevention efforts that are undertaken to maintain the excellent pipeline safety record of the industry. Kings Mountain inspects mains and services that are excavated as well as monitors aboveground piping for corrosion. We apply and monitor corrosion prevention measures to prevent steel from deteriorating below ground and they regularly patrol surface conditions for hazards to the pipelines. We also use leak detection equipment that can detect the tiniest quantity of gas to determine whether a leak may exist below ground. Equipment is inspected and maintained regularly as well, including below-ground emergency valves.

In its ‘natural’ state, natural gas is colorless and odorless. The natural gas received by the City of Kings Mountain is mixed with an odorant so it is easier to recognize a natural gas pipeline release. The odorant added to the natural gas gives the gas a distinctive smell, often described as “rotten egg”. The City monitors the existence of this odorant to ensure its presence.
YARD SALES
The leading cause of accidental releases of gas is due to damage of a below ground line by someone performing excavation or earth moving. The “ONE-CALL” system was setup to help prevent this hazard.
