Lumberton area to City Manager Marilyn Sellers and Mayor Scott Neisler. More than 1500 people were stranded in Lumberton Monday following a levee break. Some of those people were on their roofs, waiting for help. Helicopters and boats were deployed to rescue those residents. Hurricane Matthew left behind flooding, power out-

fought for our freedom that day,” said Loretta Cozart, Regent of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter. “We hope the descendants of these men will join with us to honor their service each year as we commemorate the Battle of Kings Mountain.” This is the first marker placed at the Kings Mountain National Military Park in almost 70 years.

The Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated an impressive marker honoring African American patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain Friday, October 7, at the Kings Mountain National Military Park. Dignitaries from the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, and National Park Service were in attendance. Brigadier General James Gorham, the first African American General in the North Carolina National Guard, spoke at the dedication. In his remarks he quoted Maya Angelou saying, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” The marker, dedicated to John Broddy (Broady), Essius (Esaius) Bowman, and Andrew Ferguson, among others, honors the African American men who participated at the Battle of Kings Mountain but for whom no recognition had been given … until that ceremony. The cost of the marker was $2,200.00 and the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter held a fundraising campaign in 2013. Donors of the project include:

■ MEDITATION
Don’t forget to live The grass always “looks” greener. We’ve all been there. We see someone’s life, achievements, possessions, appearance, and we envy them. We long to have their life. We see the slightest DR. JONATHAN insight into someone’s M. BUNDON life and say “I want Worship Pastor First Baptist Church that,” or “why couldn’t that be me?” It’s easy for us to do. Why? As a pastor, I hear about the lives of lots of people. You may be surprised to know many people are dissatisfied with their jobs, marriage, body image, income, etc. What I have discovered are the people who wish they had more_____ (fill in the
blank) are the same people who other people envy themselves. In other words, your life, which you may wish was “better” in some way, is the life other people wished they had. I think of some dear friends who make exponentially more money than I do. We both went to school for several years to earn multiple degrees, yet their occupation pays greater monetary dividends. What is unseen is the toll it takes on their health, time, and family. There may be someone looking at your life saying, “Wow! I wished I had his/her life. Then I’d be happy.” The fact is, God calls us to holiness, not happiness. There is, however, contentment found in seeking relationship and fellowship with God. Look at the Apostle Paul. He told us “I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me. I know what it’s like not to have what I need. I
also know what it’s like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough. I can do everything by the power of Christ who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:1113) Now it is important to note, Paul wasn’t writing this from Hilton Suites, rather a Roman prison. In his life Paul had been blinded, imprisoned, beaten, suffered from a continual affliction, and would ultimately be martyred, yet he says he was content. Why? Paul states it plainly, the power of Jesus Christ. For Paul, contentment wasn’t something to be achieved through action, but through attitude. Contentment comes from Christ working within us. As we become more like Christ, we become more content in what God has called us to be. There’s a book titled Worship where you’re planted intended to encourage pastors who are in a bad situation. The crux of the book is this, until the Lord calls you to
something else, give your best and be content in Christ. Allow him to strengthen you. In doing so, contentment will come as you rely on Christ. You may get the promotion or achieve new success, but contentment will ultimately come from Christ. It’s okay to own possessions, but don’t let the possessions own you. It’s fine to be physically fit, but don’t allow physical appearance to override spiritual wellness. Working diligently to achieve goals, promotions, and new jobs are commendable, yet do not let these pursuits cause neglect of your relationship with Christ and your family. In closing, I do not want you to come away with the impression that mediocrity should be tolerated much less embraced in our lives. Nor, do I condemn any of us from pursuing goals, enjoying gifts, and celebrating achievement. I do, however, pray we give our best in every area in our lives, but especially our relationship with Christ. It is only through Christ we find contentment.

Register of Deeds office says ‘thank you’ to military veterans The Cleveland County Register of Deeds office is launching a new program to encourage veterans to record their discharge papers and also thank them for their service. Register’s offices in several other North Carolina counties are also offering the service, which won an award for the Guilford County register’s office when it came up with the idea. Beginning October 4, 2016, the office will offer “Thank A Veteran” photo ID discount cards to veterans who request them, entitling them to receive discounts at participating area businesses. The register’s office is signing up participating local-area merchants now. With their discount, these businesses will be saying “thank you” to veterans as well. The program is free for both veterans and participating businesses. “Taken together, the veterans’ records we preserve are such a moving testament to service given to protect and defend us all,” said Cleveland County Register
of Deeds Debi Mull Harrill. “Seeing these record books always stirs our gratitude. I am happy we can say “thank
you” to veterans in this additional way while serving their needs.” In planning the program, Harrill consulted with Debra Conn, Cleveland County veterans service officer. The county’s current veteran population is approximately 8,370. See Thank You, Page 7

McGill's legacy lives on Women's 'Journey' program Ministry offers information in music and ministry The late Nancy McGill's legacy lives on in the music and ministry of the Junior choir she led nearly 60 years ago at Boyce Memorial ARP Church. At Mrs. McGill's memorial service in Clover, SC on Oct. 1 her former junior choir sang “Brother James' Air,'' a song they learned when they were third graders and sang under McGill's leadership. Three of McGill's former choir members became professional choir directors. Others followed in her footsteps to carry on her work after she moved with her husband, Dr. Kenneth H. McGill, a surgeon, to found a hospital in the Republic of Congo. Nancy Thompson McGill graduated from Erskine College and earned her Masters in Sacred Music from Louisville Seminary, Louisville, Ky, in their first graduate studies class. Nancy and her husband lived in Kings Mountain eight years where Dr. McGill joined his brother, Dr. John C. McGill, in medical practice at McGill Clinic. Director of the Children's Choir music program at Boyce Memorial ARP Church, she taught over 100 young children. “We were taught to sing J.S. Bach in two-part harmony when we were in the third grade,'' recalls Frances McGill. “Very few children have that background now.” She said that Mrs. McGill learned about the Choristers Guild, established by Gastonian Helen Kemp, which offered
NANCY MCGILL regional festivals involving adult and children's choirs in the area accompanied with instruments and directed by a leading composer and workshop facilitator. “This experience led to the strong musical skills Nancy fostered in her choirs,'' said Frances, who earned a Masters degree in Music from Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and has directed choral programs at Erskine college and The Shuford School of Performing Arts at Catawba College and served as Organist/Music Director at many churches in the Carolinas. “Nancy McGill was my first children's choir director,'' said Reta Phifer. '''We learned many anthems and hymns and hymns were new for ARP churches at that time because only Psalms were sung. My most outstanding memory was singing “God of Our Fathers” with trumpet descant in Gastonia's First Presbyterian Church.'' Dr. Reta R. Phifer earned her Doctoral degree in Music

She has served as Executive Director of the North Carolina Music Educators Association and served as Choral Director for several Mecklenburg County schools in Charlotte and as director of Children's choirs at Trinity Presbyterian Church. “My most vivid memory of Nancy McGill is her willingness to work together as a team with everyone,'' said Trip McGill. He added, “She was an example of humility and kindness, always prepared and helped with music in any way that she was asked. She taught me that humility and service were so important in music and ministry.'' Trip McGill is a well known figure in the musical landscape of Gaston County. Director of the choral program at Ashbrook High School, he is the coordinator of the summer conference on Music for Adult and Children's Choirs at Bon Clarken, the ARP assembly grounds.

Anne Gamble, club editor, said the Fall Festival dates back to 1903 when some of the ladies in town, concerned because the cemetery received only an annual cleaning, formed a committee to rectify the situation. The nearby Town of York had put on a flower show and the Kings Mountain ladies were favorably impressed with the idea. Subsequently an annual flower show was held with the help of Ladies Aid Societies of various churches which successfully created funds for the cemetery project. By 1905 these ladies realized that other civic items needed similar funding and attention. The group, totaling 30 members, organized the Kings Mountain Civic League which in 1923 joined the Federation of Woman's Clubs. With its inception in 1903, the flower show or floral fair
as it was named became the annual fundraiser for the organization's community service activities. The Floral Fair was held in various places: some years in the Pythian Hall, sometimes in Caveny's Ice Cream Shop, once in a barn where the Chevrolet building stood on Railroad Avenue. In 1932, the Floral Fair was held in the new Woman's clubhouse; it became its permanent location at 108 E. Mountain Street. After moving into the new clubhouse, the members added a meal to the event and later both lunch and dinner became a part of the event, with a bazaar and exhibit of student and clubwomen's literary writing skills and crafts displays. For many years known as the Kings Mountain Floral Fair, today's Fall Festival incorporates many of the old ideas and also new ideas that are pleasing to festival-goers. The annual fall festival is a fundraiser for club and for community projects. Over the years money from the festival has been used to refurbish the clubhouse, provide student scholarships and help community service projects, drawing crowds from the greater Kings Mountain and Cleveland County areas.
and fun Oct. 13 “Writing your final chapter – there's more to plan than your bucket list'' is the theme of the Thursday, MONTY Oct. 13 two- THORNBURG hour session of Journey at Cleveland County Public Health Center, 200 S. Post Road, Shelby. Keith Larson, of WBT News Talk, and Eddie Winecoff, owner and corporate IT computer consultant at Computer Connections, will be speakers on the program which also answers the question, “What happens to your identity when you die?”
Monty Thornburg, president of Journey and a funeral director at Harris Funeral Home in Kings Mountain, invites the public to enjoy the acoustic sounds of Gene Cox and Tommy Forney from the band, “Haggard Dolly'' while enjoying refreshments, door prizes and visiting an information booth from 5:307:30 p.m. Everything is free in this second annual program of Journey, the county coalition of end-of-life decision making which promotes the importance of having advance directives in place in order to ease the burden on loved ones when death occurs.
THANK YOU: to military veterans From Page 6 Many businesses offer or want to offer discounts to veterans, Harrill said, but both they and veterans have found the process of qualifying for such discounts unwieldy. The customary “proof” of service is a veteran’s discharge/release document—DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. But few veterans are likely to have that document with them when requesting a discount. So in lieu of that, the new Thank-A-Veteran photo ID card provides certification that the veteran has presented a valid DD Form 214, to the Register of Deeds office. That assures a merchant that a customer is indeed a veteran qualified for a discount. And it enables more veterans to take advantage of offered discounts without hassle, Harrill said. The Register of Deeds office has established a new website at http://www.clevelandcounty.com/rod/vets/ with details of the program. Businesses that want to participate are encouraged to sign up online. Veterans may obtain their cards by visiting the Register of Deeds Office during its business hours and providing needed identification and documentation. In North Carolina counties, it’s the statutory responsibility of the register of deeds office to record and protect military discharge papers brought in by veterans for permanent safekeeping, at no cost. Although recording isn’t required, it’s a good idea. Otherwise, the original document may get lost or destroyed and not be available when a veteran or spouse needs it--for example, to prove service and claim benefits. If the document has been recorded, though, a certified copy can be obtained free. The Thank-A-Veteran card is only for the purpose
of obtaining discounts from participating businesses, Harrill said. It cannot be used as a valid ID for determining actual identity or residency. It is not issued by the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and it does not entitle the holder to any VA benefits. Veterans who visit the Register of Deeds office to obtain their cards will have their DD Form 214s, recorded if not previously done, Harrill said. There is no charge for recording them. The forms are provided permanent, secure storage, and free certified copies may be obtained when needed. Access is highly restricted only to designated persons such as the veteran and spouse. Veterans: how to obtain a free Thank-A-Vet photo discount card: --Visit the Register of Deeds Office at 311 E. Marion St., Shelby during its regular business hours. -- You’ll be asked to provide identification and documentation, and have your photo made. -- All applicants must present valid government-issued ID with a photo on it, such as a driver’s license. -- If you have NOT previously had your DD Form 214 recorded by the Register of Deeds office, you must present the original of this form. If you HAVE previously recorded this form, you need not present it again. The Register’s office will confirm that it’s recorded. Businesses: how to participate in the Thank-A-Veteran program: -- Determine the discount or incentive you will offer veterans. -- Review participation details and fill out and submit the online participation form at http://www.clevelandcounty.com/rod/vets/ -- Receive a window sign or decal from us identifying you as a participating business and be included in promotion of the program.

Free breakfast Facilities in classroom? inspected School districts can apply Beginning today, North Carolina school districts can apply for grant funds from Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom (the Partners) to provide a much-needed healthy and nutritious morning meal to local students and help increase participation of the federally funded School Breakfast Program. School districts will be selected based on the number of students that qualify for free or reduced priced meals, average daily participation in the school breakfast program, and district and school-level support. The Partners, a consortium of national education and nutrition organizations, includes the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), the National Association of Elementary School Principals Foundation (NAESPF), the School Nutrition Foundation (SNF), and The NEA Foundation. The Partners selected 10 states to participate in the program based on need and potential for success, including: Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah. Across these states, the Partners have a goal of increasing access to a nutritious morning meal for 30,000 students. Through a $7.5 million grant from the Walmart Foundation, the Partners will work with state affiliates and rework how school breakfast is delivered, by offering it to all students at no charge and moving it from the cafeteria to the classroom. This is an effort intended to improve participation in the School Breakfast Program and boost learning and health. While most U.S. schools participate in the School Breakfast Program, barriers, including school bus schedules, late arrivals
to school, pressure to go directly to class, and reluctance to be labeled “low-income,” have caused school breakfast participation rates to be low. Nearly half of low-income children who are eligible for a free or reduced-price breakfast through the federal School Breakfast Program are not eating it, according to a 2015 FRAC analysis. “Grant funding from the Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom to help bring healthy morning meals into the classroom would have an invaluable impact on students and we encourage school districts across the state to apply,” said Mark Jewell, President of the North Carolina Association of Educators. “The proven benefits of moving breakfast from the cafeteria to the classroom include better attendance records, less tardiness, fewer behavioral and discipline problems and that’s just to name a few. Those benefits are what the students in North Carolina deserve.” Since 2010, 35 school districts in 18 states have been awarded a grant by the Partners to implement the Breakfast in the Classroom programs resulting in more than 63,000 students starting their day off with a healthy breakfast. The Partners’ grant will provide funding to school districts to assist with the upfront costs typically associated with starting a breakfast in the classroom program. That includes assisting schools with purchasing large and small equipment, marketing and communication needs, training for school building staff, and short-term school food and nutrition services staffing. The application is now open in North Carolina. For more information and to find out if a district is eligible and to review the application, visit www. BreakfastintheClassroom. org.
Restaurants and school cafeterias were inspected by the Cleveland County Health Department during September. They included: Carolina Crossing, Grover, 99; Gentle Moon Cafe, Gold St., 97; Starbucks Coffee at Ingles, 100; Jan and Bleeka's Catering, Countryside Road, 98; Kings Mountain Intermediate School, 99; KM Middle School, 98.5; North Elementary, 98.5; West Elementary, 99.5; Summit Place, Phifer Road, 98.5; Linwood Restaurant, Cleveland Ave., 95; Thai Hut, W.

KM 21, CREST 19
Mountaineers stun state champs
Kings Mountain freshman Ricaylen Mack rips off a big gain in the Mountaineers’ 21-19 victory over Crest Monday night at Crest.
First win over Crest Chargers since 1998 Two big fourth quarter defensive stands followed by two exciting drives that resulted in touchdowns powered Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers to a 21-19 victory over defending state 3A champion Crest Monday night at Sid Bryson Stadium in Boiling Springs. The win was KM’s first over the Chargers since 1998 when the Mountaineers had their best season ever with a 14-2 record and a berth in the state 3A championship. The win was especially sweet for head coach Greg Lloyd, who played at Crest and was the offensive coordinator on two state championship teams there. Kings Mountain had four drives stopped by fumbles and interceptions in the red zone, including three in the first half at the two, four and 17 yard lines. Trailing 13-7, the Mountaineer D took matters into its own hands after the Chargers intercepted a pass in the end zone with 8:35 left in the game. With the Chargers taking over on their own 20, KM linemen Trevon Wilson, Khal Welch, and Jeremiah Brown threw the Chargers for three straight losses totaling 11 yards to force a punt from the nine yard line. KM took possession at the Crest 43, and Kaylon Wade threw incomplete on first down. Shun Allison went 15 yards on a reverse and freshman Ricaylen
Mack, who finished with 100 yards rushing, rambled 28 yards into the end zone. Micah Randall’s PAT from placement put the Mountaineers on top for the first time, 14-13. Following a kickoff out of bounds which gave Crest the ball on its own 35, Jerdon Pressley broke through to throw Charger running back Namari Borders for a one-yard loss. Two incomplete passes forced another Crest punt. KM took over at its own 39 with 5:30 to play. Wade went 15 yards on a keeper to get the ball to the Crest 45. Mack had runs of four and 22 yards, sandwiched around a Crest offside penalty, and then rambled 14 yards into the end zone to run the score to 21-13 with 2:51 left. The Chargers made it interesting, driving 77 yards in just six plays to score on a 11-yard burst by quarterback Cam Peeler, but Peeler’s two-point pass attempt to Jarius Strong bounced off the ground with 1:07 left, leaving the score at 21-19. After two offside penalties against the Chargers, KM’s Kavin Mosley covered an onside kick attempt at the Crest 45. With no timeouts remaining for Crest, the Mountaineers were able to end the game by taking a knee twice. Kings Mountain’s fans stormed the field to congratulate their players and coaches.

October 11 and 12, the Lady Mountaineers will travel to Crest to compete in the 3A segment of the SMAC tournament championship. The 3A will consist of the top six players from Kings Mountain, Burns and Crest.

The kids deserve all the credit. “The coaches did a great job,” he added. “The defense played great. We had a lot of turnovers early but the kids didn’t hang their heads. We were down in the fourth quarter and found a way to win. I’m very pleased with how they played.” Prior to the fourth quarter heroics, Kings Mountain’s only points came with less than three minutes left in the half after a 16-yard touchdown reception by Tyshun Odom put Crest up 10-0. Shun Allison returned the ensuing kickoff to the 48 yard line, and on first down Wade hit Madisyn Bolin on a slant and he rambled untouched 52 yards into the end zone. Michael Randall’s PAT cut the lead to 10-7.
Crest had taken a 3-0 lead on the opening drive of the night on a 39-yard field goal by Evan Davis. A 16yard reception by Wesley Bullard and a 40-yard run by Davion Pryor set it up. Davis booted another 25yard field goal with 3:08 left in the third quarter to push the Crest lead to 13-7. Kings Mountain, now 3-2 in the conference and 5-3 overall, has another tough challenge coming up Friday when R-S Central visits Gamble Stadium for the Mountaineers’ homecoming. The Hilltoppers have a wealth of speed and senior experience. The last time they came to KM (in 2014) they stunned the Mountaineers in overtime and have many of the same players that did the damage that night. Crest, which fell to 3-1 in the SMAC and 5-2 overall, travels to East Burke.

Last-second FG lifts Crest over KM 17-14 Dominic Cline’s 27-yard field goal with no time remaining gave the Crest JVs a 17-14 victory over Kings Mountain in a battle of the undefeated Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium. Most of the home fans thought the game should be going into overtime when the Chargers were flagged for illegal procedure with 0:00 showing on the scoreboard clock. The official time was being kept on the field, however, and apparently had not expired. The result left Crest alone in first place in the SMAC with a 6-0 overall record. Kings Mountain had its 15game winning streak snapped and fell to 6-1 heading into a game Thursday at RS Central. Both teams left some points on the field by not cashing in on opportunities prior to the winning kick. Kings Mountain had an opportunity to win late in the fourth quarter after recovering an onside kick after a two-point conversion catch by Christopher Brittain following a 15-yard touchdown reception by Lannden Zanders which tied the score at 14-all with 4:36 remaining. Kings Mountain recovered the onside kick at the Chargers’ 37. Facing fourth and one, quarterback John Harmon Melton hooked up with Brittain on a 16-yard pass for a first down at the 17, but the Mountaineers ended up losing the ball on downs at the 19. A roughing the quarterback penalty on the Mountaineers gave Crest a first down at the Chargers 34 with 43.9 seconds remaining. Two plays later Crest quarterback Michael Greene found running back Jalin Graham all alone down the left sideline and he was finally brought down at the 12 with just 16 seconds on the clock. After a spike and a one-yard loss by Graham left the scoreboard clock at zero, the officials marked off a five-yard false start penalty against the Char-

gers but allowed them another play. Cline’s field goal split the uprights for the win. The Mountaineers drove deep into Crest territory three times in the first half, but came away with just one touchdown, a leaping 20-yard reception by Quentin Davidson with 1:22 left before the break. KM’s pass for a twopoint conversion failed. Brittain’s pass interception and return to the Crest 17 with 43.8 seconds left in the half gave KM an opportunity to build on the lead, but the Chargers’ Delonne Willis intercepted a pass in the end zone. Crest took over at the 20 but let the clock expire. Crest wasted little time taking the lead, driving the second half kickoff 68 yards in seven plays to score on a one-yard run by Graham. Cline’s extra point put the Mountaineers behind 7-6. After forcing a KM punt, it took the Chargers just four plays to drive 67 yards and score on a 13-yard run by Graham and a 14-6 lead. The KM defense got outstanding efforts from several players including Brittain (interception) and EJ Brown (numerous tackles and a blocked punt).

bles team, but we have the talent to send more than three,” says Coach Rick Henderson. A recap of the regular season: Sophomore Natalie Lutz again led the Lady Mountaineers at the #1 seed. She was 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the conference. She lost a total of three games during the overall season. Freshman sensation Madelynn Frye played at the #2 seed and lost only a total of eight games during the overall season, with the exception of losing to the #1 seed from Weddington when Lutz was competing in a SMAC golf match. “Madelynn has been a valu-
able asset to our team since she transferred in just shortly after the tennis season started,” Coach Henderson noted. Playing the #3 seed was MC Johnson who finished the season with an overall record of 11-1, the lone loss coming against Weddington. Carrigan Leatherman was the #4 seed and had a record of 10-2. Her two losses were to Weddington and Forestview in non-conference matches. The #5 seed was Kassie Johnson, who was 11-1 with the lone loss being to Weddington. Playing #6 was Amber Belcher who was 11-1, with her lone loss coming to Weddington. The Lady Mountaineers finished the conference season
(a combination of singles and doubles) with an impressive record of 59-0. “This is a record that is unheard of,” said Henderson. “This year’s team truly dominated every facet of the game during conference play.” The KM ladies will lose just two players, including one starter. “I look for our girls over the off season to improve their game and that’s from the #1 seed down to the bottom,” Henderson said. “We still have a lot of depth even after our two seniors leave. That says a lot about the strength of our team. “We are extremely excited about going back to the Big South Conference next year,” he added. “That’s why I chose
to play the premier teams (Ashbrook and Forestview) this year, simply because they typically dominate the Big South in tennis. These two schools have won numerous conference championships over the last 10 years, but the Lady Mountaineers will be a force stating next year as we participate in the Big South again.” KM dominated both Ashbrook and Forestview in early September by 8-1 scores. Henderson hopes to see all Kings Mountain tennis enthusiasts at the Mountaineer courts on October 18 at 4 p.m. when they begin their quest for a state championship. “I can assure you that you will not be disappointed in the quality of some of the players,” he said.

Kickers roll KM Elite sweeps Statesville over RS, 5-2 Kings Mountain High’s soccer team posted its eighth straight victory Wednesday night at R-S Central, 5-2. The win improved the Mountaineers to 13-2 overall heading into a home game Monday with first place Chase. The Mountaineers jumped on RS just five minutes into the match when Chase Yow put back a rebound off Josh Scism from six yards out for a 1-0 lead. Twelve seconds later, Yow assisted Josue Molina on a goal from 10 yards out for a 2-0 lead. The Hilltoppers got on the board just three minutes later as Zach Scofield drilled a shot from point blank range to cut the margin to 2-1. Each team had numer-
ous scoring chances but couldn’t score the rest of the first half. The Mountaineers came out of the gate quickly in the second half as Yow, assisted by Hunter Champion, scored off a direct kick from 23 yards out to make it 3-1. In the 52nd minute, Nolan Raby took a feed from Dewi Eagan to stretch the margin to 4-1. RS fought back and Colby Behrns blasted a shot past KM keeper John Harris to cut the margin to 4-2. Harris came up with several fine saves late in the game to fight off an RS comeback attempt. In the 87th minute, KM put the game on ice with a goal by Luke Rikard off a super crossing ball from Scism.

WIT Improv Troupe plans six shows The Kings Mountain High School WIT Improv Troupe presented its first Improv show in six series planned for the rest of this year and in 2017. The shows will be held on Dec. 3, Jan. 13, March 17, April 7 and May 20 at 7:30 p.m. in B. N. Barnes Auditorium on the high school campus. WIT? Improv Show is
similar to “Whose line is it, anyway?'' in which players present several short-form improvisation games. In each game, they will use various ideas and scenarios to create scenes for your enjoyment. All scenes will be created on the spot, with participants having no prior knowledge of the characters, locations, or quirks they are given. The blend
of spontaneity and creativity created by the members of the troupe is always entertaining and impressive. This year's troupe is being trained by a professional improvisation coach, Austin Simmons. For more information visit www. facebook.com/kmhstheatre or call Dan Trehane at 704476-8330.
Destiny Fuqua, Ethan Clinard and Sam Mayes, left to right, were among the members of the Improv Troupe to present an evening of improvisation at Barnes Auditorium last Friday. Other programs are planned.

Forgetfulness: What’s Normal, What’s Not? Dear Savvy Senior, At age 76, my husband has become forgetful lately and is worried he may have Alzheimer’s. What resources can you recommend to help us get a grip on this? Concerned Wife Dear Concerned, Many seniors worry about memory lapses as they get older fearing it may be the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease or some other type of dementia. To get some insight on the seriousness of your husband’s problem, here are some resources you can turn to for help. Warning Signs As we grow older, some memory difficulties – such as forgetting names or misplacing items from time to time – are associated with normal aging. But the symptoms of dementia are much more than simple memory lapses. While symptoms can vary greatly, people with dementia may have problems with short-term memory, keeping track of a purse or wallet, paying bills, planning and preparing meals, remembering appointments or
traveling out of the neighborhood. To help you and your husband recognize the difference between typical age-related memory loss and a more serious problem, the Alzheimer’s Association provides a list of 10 warning signs that you can assess at 10signs. org. They also provide information including the signs and symptoms on the other conditions that can cause dementia like vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and others – see ALZ. org/dementia. Memory Screening Another good place to help you get a handle on your husband’s memory problems is through the National Memory Screening Program, which offers free memory screenings throughout National Memory Screening Month in November. Sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, this free service provides a confidential, face-to-face
memory screening that takes about 10 minutes to complete and consists of questions and/or tasks to evaluate his memory status. Screenings are given by doctors, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers or other healthcare professionals in thousands of sites across the country. It’s also important to know that this screening is not a diagnosis. Instead, its goal is to detect problems and refer individuals with these problems for further evaluation. To find a screening site in your area visit NationalMemoryScreening. org or call 866-232-8484. It’s best to check for a screening location at the end of October, because new sites are constantly being added. See a Doctor If you can’t find a screening site in your area, make an appointment with his primary care doctor to get a cognitive checkup. This is covered 100 percent by Medicare as part of their annual wellness visit. If his doctor suspects any problems, he may give him the Memory Impairment Screen, the General Practitioner Assessment
of Cognition, or the Mini Cog. Each test can be given in less then five minutes. Depending on his score, his doctor may order follow-up tests or simply keep it on file so he can see if there are any changes down the road. Or, he may then refer him to a geriatrician or neurologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease. Keep in mind that even if your husband is experiencing some memory problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean he has dementia. Many memory problems are brought on by other factors like stress, depression, thyroid disease, side effects of medications, sleep disorders, vitamin deficiencies and other medical conditions. And by treating these conditions he can reduce or eliminate the problem. 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.
