Lake levels are lowered for repairs dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Although it may look like drought conditions at Moss Lake in the coming weeks, there’s no cause for concern. The city is partially draining the 1,500-acre man-made body of water in order to make some routine repairs on the spillway, a mechanism that protects the lake’s earthen dam. In the next three weeks, millions of gallons of water will be gushing out of the lake in order to drop the water level by eight to 10 feet, according to Dennis
Wells, the City of Kings Mountain’s Water Resource Director. That will give contractors from Shelby’s Strickland Concrete access to the surface of the spillway, which they will resurface and shore up as necessary. The cost of the project, which is expected to take about six months, is coming in at just under $600,000, Wells said. The city has been draining the water in the lake for almost two weeks through a 52inch siphon pipe located at the dam, which is at the See LAKE LEVELS, Page 8A

Together we fund the fight to find a cure for cancer
INSIDE...
DAVE BLANTON
Yes today, the Herald is pink –from front to back. Why? To bring awareness in October to one of the deadliest forms of cancer. October, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Look around you and you will see pink in the 24 pages of the Kings Lib Stewart Managing Editor Mountain Herald today. Visit the Kings Mountain Hospital and the Kings Mountain Post Office this month and you will see the staff of the Radiology Department wearing pink, decorating a “Tree of Hope” and distributing information – the good news that many women – and men – can survive breast cancer if it's found and treated early. The 58 member staff of the Kings Mountain Post Office is pushing the theme, ''Fund the Fight, Find a Cure,''and for every single breast cancer stamp purchased you can place a circle of hope in honor or memory of a loved one on a community board designed by Miriam Bell. For every book of breast cancer stamps purchased you can also place a photo of your loved one in the circle of hope on the community board in the post office lobby. The 2014 Breast cancer research forever semi-postal stamp, originally issued in 1998, mandated by the U. S. Congress and signed into law by President Clinton, has been reissued this year. Each stamp costs 60 cents
which includes the 48cents first class postage plus 11 cents that directly goes to Breast Cancer Research. Kings Mountain postal employees are first in this postal district to beef up the campaign by sporting pink shirts with the stamp logo and white shirts with the stamp logo. Your mail carrier at your door delivering the pink Herald will be wearing a pink shirt today and every day this month. Postmistress Angela Greene, lead clerk Teresa Greene, and clerks Becky Bennett, Tim Lynch, Pam Wilson and Sandra Hamrick will be in pink greeting you inside the post office. “Early detection is the best prescription for successfully treating breast cancer,'' says Wanda Summit, Assistant Director of the Radiology Department and a mammography technician at Kings Mountain Hospital. The staff, which also includes Director Kyle Hentchel and mammography technicians Elaine Dixon, Ava Gash, and Susan Porter, have decorated a white “Tree of Hope” with pink ornaments to call attention to the month-long celebration of life. Summit said digital mammography improves the quality of images as she pointed to the new Hologic Selena Dimensions equipment that the hospital has used for over a year. Statistics show progress in the battle against cancer. By the grace of God and
Vivian Duncan, Doris Cloninger and Betty Spears, left to right, all Pink Ladies at Kings Mountain Hospital, are shown at the pink and white “Tree of Hope” decorated by the KMH Radiology Department in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Radiology staff is also distributing materials about how early detection by a mammogram saves lives. Photo by LIB STEWART early detection by a mammogram I am a 26 year survivor. After a mammogram and two biopsies I was told that no lump could be found, yet the mammogram was “suspicious.” I left the doctor's office with great news only to get as far as the car and was called back to the surgeon's office. The late Dr. Sam Robinson and retired KM Hospital pathologist Dr. Gentry had found the malignant cell and surgery, which required no treatment, was performed at
the local hospital on May 23, 1988. Health officials will tell you that regular screenings that result in early detection and awareness about the disease will keep statistics going in the right direction. National Breast Cancer Month in October is a chance to raise that awareness. Today's pink pages are dedicated to survivors, families and warriors as ''together we fund the fight to find a cure'' and pray that all cancer will someday be eradicated.

City of Kings Mountain Annual Great Pumpkin Halloween Parade, Friday, October 31
A tradition in Kings Mountain, the Little Spooks Great Pumpkin Halloween Parade is fun. Above, children walk from the city hall to Patriots Park in this Halloween 2013 photo. Photo by ELLIS NOELL The City of Kings Mountain will host the annual “Great Pumpkin Halloween Parade” on Friday, October 31. Children are invited to gather at the City Hall Plaza on Cherokee Street at Gold Street at 10 a.m. and walk with Mayor Rick Murphrey on the parade route to the Gazebo at Patriots Park for post-parade activities.

provide entertainment, games, Halloween stories, songs, sing-alongs and a haystack search for Halloween goodies. One lucky individual, in each one of the three age groups’ haystacks, will find the “Gold Pumpkin” and receive a $25.00 gift card to a local toy store. There will also be an inflatable giant slide and obstacle course. The Kings Mountain Police Department will provide reflective treat bags to the children and the Kings Mountain Fire Department will have a fire truck on display. Local merchants are encouraged to dress in costumes to greet the children along the parade route. Tables will be pro-
vided at Patriots Park for businesses to give away candy and treats. Afterward, children and parents are welcome to stay and play, have a picnic lunch or dine in one of the convenient downtown restaurants. The parade will start above the City Hall Plaza, on Cherokee and Gold streets, and continue to Battleground Ave., Mountain St. and south on Railroad Ave. and arrive at Patriots Park.

Checklist for Fall Garden and Landscape Care
by Melinda Myers You can see and feel the change of seasons. Fall color is starting to appear, pansies, mums and asters are in the garden center and your thoughts are turning to preparing your landscape for winter. Those in warm climates are switching to winter annuals, while those in colder regions are fortifying their landscapes for the cold winter ahead. No matter where you live, invest some time in preparing your landscape for the change in seasons. Dedicating some time now will pay off with healthier more beautiful plants next spring.
• Continue to mow the lawn high as long as it continues to grow. There’s no need to cut it short unless that is the look you prefer. •Fertilize the grass with a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com). Fall fertilization provides the greatest benefit to your lawn and gives you the best value for the time and money invested. • Those in cooler regions growing bluegrass, fescue and perennial ryegrass should fertilize around Labor Day when temperatures start to cool. Then make a final application See CHECKLIST, 9A

Yours, Ours, Others
Quote of the week There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. Edith Wharton
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor: Over the past few weeks our State and Nation have seen activist judges mischaracterize our State and Federal Constitutions, and a Supreme Court that has abdicated its authority, and its responsibility, to lower courts allowing them to make monumental changes in the fabric of those documents. A few un-elected judges have overthrown the will of the majority of the voters in a blatant violation of the intent of our Founding Fathers. Cleveland County residents voted overwhelmingly, nearly
80%, that the definition of marriage should be the union of one man and one woman. Now, activist judges that do not even live here are saying that our votes don’t count. While the “legal� system may be holding all the cards, the NC Constitution remains in stark contrast to the judge’s decision. As one of your County Commissioners, I have asked both the legal and constitutional questions on this topic. It is my belief that the decisions from our legal system will negatively impact our County, State and Nation. It distorts the original
definition of marriage, the one found in the Bible, and twists it to fit a part of today’s society. I would encourage my neighbors to join our family in prayer for our Nation, our elected officials and our judges. We also need to be vigilant in electing officials that will stand with us on issues and have the fortitude to keep their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of North Carolina.
In light of the recent attacks on pastors in Houston, TX with regard to their preaching the Word of God, let me state my position so there is no confusion as to where I stand. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says, "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." In addition to this list of sins, Revelation 21:8 states, "But
cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Romans 3:23 reminds us that, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." The penalty for our sin is stated in Romans 6:23a, "For the wages of sin is death", but 1 John 1:9 promises, "If we confess our sins (agree with God that an action or thought is sinful and turn from it), He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I preach the total Word of
God, believe the Word of God, and seek to live according to the Word of God. At Second Baptist Church of Kings Mountain, everyone is welcome to attend; all are encouraged to repent of sin and to live by God's Word daily. But we unapologetically call sin what it is and remind attenders of the consequences of not repenting of sin. I also encourage attenders, without calling names or referring to political parties, to go to the polls and vote for those who share these values in word and deed. Let His Light Shine On.
To the Editor: Who is Emily Church? Emily is a teacher in the Burke County Public Schools. She is a resident of Valdese, NC, and the mother of two daughters educated in the Burke County Public School System. Emily Church has seen first hand what our current legislators have done over the past several years to our public school children, teachers, and support staff less money for supplies, text books, technology, crowded classrooms, less appreciation. There is a growing trend to
do away with our public schools and privatize education for our children. Imagine that. Our BCPS scores and achievements show that our students and teachers are doing well with what they are given. The classroom can really be challenging at times because of the problems that our children bring to school due to things that are going on in the homes. Our teachers have to be much more than a teacher. We need Emily Church in Raleigh to give the legislators a realistic report of the realities of
what has been done to our public school children and employees. They too often listen to hearsay from those who have never been in the classroom. Emily Church will vote for the needs of the people of Burke County and not vote with aristocrats in the eastern part of the state who only think of their selfish betterment. Emily Church is a people person. Please consider voting for Emily Church. Thank you.

To the Editor, November 4, 2014, is an historic day in North Carolina history. On that day, our state’s citizens will elect four justices – a majority of our state’s Supreme Court, the top tier of a co-equal branch of government. We depend on the Supreme Court to interpret our laws, to resolve our disputes, and to determine the liberty or incarceration of those charged with violating the law. There are eight candidates for these four seats. How many of us know their identity or backgrounds or what commends them for service on our highest state court? Recent polls do not give a promising answer to any of these questions. The common denominator of every poll indicates strikingly low knowledge about and attention to these races. In late September, one poll indicated that, even in the
To the Editor, During the 2013 Long Session the North Carolina General Assembly passed Senate Bill 399, “Criminal Defendant May Waive Jury Trial.� If approved on November 4, 2014 it will amend the North Carolina Constitution to provide that an accused may, with the consent of the judge, waive the right to a jury trial and be tried by a Superior Court judge (bench trial). It does not apply to capital cases. Some say the legislation will take away defendants’ constitutional right to a trial by jury. This is not true. Defendants will still have the right to a trial by jury in Superior Court. They can choose to waive that To the Editor: It won't stop with Houston. As far as I'm concerned, Annise Parker, mayor of Houston, Texas has proven one of the fears I've had about openly homosexual people to be true. She, by trying to demand access to Christian Pastor's sermons and later their speeches, clearly shows that she is using the office of mayor to further the homosexual agenda. I've always said that would be the case of gay politicians, gay teachers, gay scout leaders or other gays having influence on our children and society in general. Note that I used the word gay but intend it to mean all of the group whether, homosexual men or women, bisexual, transgender, pedophile or others I may have unintentionally left out. You might ask, what agenda?
chief justice’s race, 77% were “undecided.� There are also three contested races for the Court of Appeals and 39 contested races for seats on the Superior Court and District Court. Fortunately, voters can access evaluations of trial court candidates who filed for office in February at ElectNCJudges.org. This information is provided by the North Carolina Bar Association’s Judicial Performance Evaluation Committee through its surveys of N.C. lawyers. We don’t believe that our citizens are either indifferent to these races or to the significance of the judiciary to our democracy. Rather we believe that our busy lives make it difficult to find the time to learn what needs to be learned to choose the best candidates for these positions. Taking into account all the candidates who will be on the See LTE-VOTING , 11A
right if they wish to have a trial by a Superior Court Judge. But the accused does not get to pick the judge. District Attorneys, not defense attorneys, are the ones who set criminal cases on the calendar. The primary sponsor of the bill, Senator Pete Brunstetter (RForsyth), says “the amendment follows the well-established right of a defendant in federal court to choose to be tried by a judge, rather than a jury, and this has been upheld by the US Supreme Court.� I understand that 49 other states allow this as well. There are several benefits to giving defendants the right to waive a jury trial. Victims are See LTE-STAM, 11A
All LBGTQ organized prideful homosexuals desire to have a total acceptance of gay life by every other being, especially the Christians who believe that God finds the lifestyle an abomination to Him. Nothing in the past has kept homosexuals from performing their type of sex privately like most people do. They're not satisfied with that kind of acceptance. They want to be prideful. They want non-guaranteed desires to be granted and fulfilled by law, so they try to twist and turn constitutional words to benefit themselves. I know it will do no good to say I hope they will eventually accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, repent and turn from their sin but I really do hope that for them. I also would not try to keep them from any livelihood of their choice as

House of Halloween horrors on Walker Street DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
One of the most ghoulish spectacles in Kings Mountain this Halloween season is at 212 Walker St., where Kim and Rick Wray have, for the third consecutive year, taken spook to the extreme. There you’ll find dark, foreboding tunnels filled with red demons, motionactivated skeletons in cages and horrific messages scrawled in black-light paint. They’ve also turned their small front yard into a cemetery filled with the tombstones of some of the biggest names in the killing business, fictional and otherwise. Here lies John Wayne Gacy, Ed Gein, Norman Bates, Jeffrey Dahmer and Bonnie and Clyde, among others. The Wrays concede they’ve been working on their seasonal decorations for more than two months - adding a few glowing eyeballs in a bowl here, a human heart in a jar of formaldehyde there. The roof, porch and much of the horrifying material on display is covered in a thick blanket of cobwebs, which they’ve fashioned from lint, paint and glue. That’s altogether fitting with the large black spider (made, in part, from a 50-gallon industrial drum) that sits ready to pounce just behind the skeleton wedding ceremony, complete with a presiding bones-only priest. Guests to the Wrays' yard first encounter a kind of makeshift shed with jars containing potions and various organs. Then they’re funneled into the first of two black-tarped tunnels where– after passing a sign that warns not to enter after dusk–a sound system
The view from the street hints at the dark scenes within the tarp tunnels that aim to startle and scare visitors to 212 Walker St.
heightens the dark mood with the sound of howling winds, a creepy narrator and other mysterious noises. The tunnels are fitted with hidey holes just big enough to conceal human actors in frightening costumes who aim to startle and alarm unsuspecting tour-takers. Then there’s the front yard, which they’ve covered in more scare fare. Featured prominently is a wretched woman emerging from a large tank of “infectious waste.” There’s also a pet cemetery (which is a facsimile of the couple’s actual pet cemetery
found in the back yard, where a dog they had once named Cujo is buried) and an array of dolls that appear to have been the toys of the children of the underworld. For the Wrays, the
macabre set-up is about more than just Halloween fun. The couple got married on their front porch on October 31, 2011, and every year since then they’ve transformed their home between Cansler and N. Piedmont into a blood-curdling wedding anniversary celebration. Last year they notched about 90 trick or treaters, and this year after adding a few elements to their morbid montage they hope to draw even more. “We just want to make it the best Halloween yard – for the kids,” said Kim, who said that next year they would like to expand the scare-fest into their large backyard. “We really don’t intend to scare really little children, but
teenagers that’s a different story. They might as well come prepared.” The Wrays had a little trouble with weather two weeks ago when a big storm
rolled through the area. “All that wind we got … we had to come out here and fix a bunch of stuff,” Kim said as she surveyed the yard last week.
An array of tonics, poisons and other beverages fill the shelves. Below: A witch greets visitors to the Kim and Rick Wray Halloween display on Walker St.

Lake levels: lowered for repairs From page 1 south side of the lake. This is the third time since 2000 that the city has lowered the level. Wells said he expects the lowered water level to have some impact on boating, depending on the length of piers and ramps in use. After the repairs to the spillway are completed, Wells said the lake will naturally rebound to its normal water level thanks to the creeks, streams and rainfall that feed the lake. Making up the 8 to 10 feet that’s lost during the draining could take anywhere from “a few weeks to a few months, depending on the weather.” Moss Lake is the water supply for the City of Kings Mountain, including its residential and commercial customers. The town of Grover is also
a customer. It’s also part of an emergency connection with Cleveland County Water. Moss Lake is typically home to about 15 billion gallons of water. About 2.4 million gallons a day are pumped from the lake through an 18-inch pipe that leads to the city’s water treatment plant. Wells said that the temporary drop in water quantity poses no threat to the city’s abilities to provide water to its citizens and other customers. “We could actually go down a couple more feet,” Wells said. “We would still be at adequate levels to supply the city.” The city hired a structural engineer who did a thorough evaluation of the spillway about a year ago. It was during that evaluation that the city decided to go ahead with major repairs.

Richardson said Monday he’d settled on Baker Buffalo Creek Vineyard and Winery out of Lawndale for the wine. He was still scouting out local breweries as of press time. Some likely offerings from Baker Buffalo Creek? Traminette, a fruity, semisweet wine made from estate grown Traminette grapes and Mule Barn Red, a muscadine wine. He’ll also be pouring a Baker chardonnay and is thinking of adding cabernet sauvignon into the mix. “The event is all about local foods, wine and beer,” he said. “These should fit in nicely.” “We have been working together to source local foods to make this event happen,” said Kings Moun-

raise the most money and then return those favors to political action committees and wealthy corporate leaders while forgetting the majority of our citizenry and their need to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. I have pledged from the beginning to prove that campaigns can be won the old fashioned way without hundreds of thousands of dollars being thrown in a campaign hole. I hope that you will help me prove this as well with your vote. Our current legislature is trying to dismantle public education while giving our tax money to private schools and charter schools who are sometimes funneling it into the coffers of private businesses. As a lifelong educator, I will stand up for public education and our children’s futures. I became involved in this race because I could no longer stand by and watch these people damage our schools. However, I am not a “one- issue candidate.” I am concerned about our environment and will fight to keep
our land and water clean and free from damaging processes such as fracking and off-shore drilling. There are better ways to lower our dependence on foreign energy sources. I support tax incentives for green energy development and companies with a proven record of job creation, not just paybacks for large campaign contributions. I do not believe that big government or more taxation is the answer. I do believe that we can reallocate our current resources in ways that will serve the majority of the citizens of our state instead of just the top wage earners and big corporations. I would be happy to speak to anyone about my views or your concerns. My number is 828-4031505. I humbly ask for your vote; however, no matter who earns your vote, please go out and exercise your right during early voting beginning October 23rd or on Election Day, November 4th.

Checklist: for Fall Garden and Landscape Care From page 2A
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To Burke and Cleveland County Citizens, Over the past six months, I have met many of you at festivals and meetings, but there are many of you whose paths have not crossed mine. I want you to know who I am when you go to the polls. I am a mother of two young ladies, an Instructional Coach for Burke County Public Schools, a member of Waldensian Presbyterian Church, and a community volunteer in multiple organizations. I entered the race for the 46th District NC Senate seat in February of this year, and I have tried to get my message out through people to people conversations instead of filling your mailboxes with flyers that cost ridiculous sums of money and eventually fill our landfills. I want to serve you and your families in Raleigh because I believe it is time for an average citizen’s voice to be heard. Our government is based on the premise of rule by the people and for the people, but in recent years, it has become a contest based on who can

between Halloween and Thanksgiving before the ground freezes. • Those in warmer climates growing centipede, Bermuda and zoysia should also fertilize around Labor Day. However, be sure to make the last fall application at least one month prior to the average first killing frost. • Shred leaves as they fall. Leave some on the lawn to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil. As long as you can see the grass blades through the shredded leaves your lawn will be fine. • Use the rest of the shredded leaves in your compost pile, as mulch on top of the soil or as a soil amendment. Just dig a two to three inch layer into the top 12 inches of annual or new planting beds. These leaves will break down and add organic matter. By spring the leaves will decompose and the garden bed will be ready to cultivate and plant. • Plant a few bulbs now for a colorful early spring display. Incorporate compost, aged manure or other organic matter into the
planting area. Add a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer at the time of planting. In general, plant bulbs two to three times their vertical diameter deep. Follow specific planting and spacing directions on the package or tag. • Select animal-resistant bulbs to avoid squirrels digging up the bulbs and deer and rabbits eating the blooms. Daffodils, hyacinths, grape hyacinths and squills are a few to consider. Little Tommies (Crocus tommasinianus) tend to be more squirrel resistant than other crocus varieties. • Those gardening in mild climates need low chill bulbs that will thrive and flower after a mild winter. Or purchase precooled bulbs for winter planting and spring flowering. • Allow disease- and insect-free perennials to stand for winter. This will increase their winter hardiness and your enjoyment. The dried leaves, stems and seedheads provide beauty for you to enjoy, seeds for the birds and overwintering homes for many butterflies and beneficial insects. • Plant trees, shrubs and perennials. The soil is warm and the air is cool – perfect
conditions for planting and establishing trees, shrubs and perennials. And for those lucky enough to garden in warm climates, add a few winter annuals. • Continue to water the landscape as needed throughout the fall. Be sure to water evergreens and new plantings thoroughly before the ground freezes. No matter where you live or the size of your garden, get outdoors and enjoy the beauty of fall. And be sure to invest a bit of energy now to insure your landscape is ready for the season ahead.

■ DOWNTOWN Twenty-four downtown businesses participated in this year’s Fall Decorating Contest – a significant rise in participation over last year’s contest, according to Jan Harris, Main Street Director. Businesses large and small showed off their creativity using the straw bales and pumpkins provided by the Main Street program. Over 90 straw bales and pumpkins were distributed around the downtown area and additional pumpkins and mums were placed in the tree boxes lining Railroad and Battleground Avenues. Mommie & Maw Maw won first place for their inside/outdoor Fall decoration and in the same category Bullman Tattoo took second place and Everything Under the Sun took third. The wnners in the outdoor decorating contest were Dellinger's and Trackside Trader who tied for first place, Suzy B's, second; and Edward Jones, third. Downtown’s newest business, The Yoga Room located at 120 Cherokee Street integrated the spirit of the season with a skeleton in a yoga pose and the Sanskrit greeting “Namaste” painted on a pumpkin! The next contest will be for Christmas and will be based along the theme of “Home for Christmas in Kings Mountain.”

'Say Ahh! and Eek' at KM Museum Kings Mountain Historical Museum invites you to visit for the following programming: ''Say Ahh! And Eek,'' medical horror stories at the Museum and special Halloween-inspired tours available through Oct. 24 starting at 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Learn about the dark side of medical history, including the “American Chamber of Horrors,” Civil War era anesthesia and amputations, the study of cadavers, electrotherapy, the deadly Spanish influenza epidemic, and other cringe-worthy exhibit subjects. Hear the stories behind the bone screws, bed pans, human teeth, surgical tools, and foot-pedal dental drill on display with the exhibit. The tour is appropriate for ages 10 and up (a coloring station is available for younger children). General exhibit tours will still be available upon request. Next week will be the last chance to see the original exhibit: “Say Ahh!” The Incredible Medical History of Kings Mountain. The exhibit ends after Saturday, Oct. 25. The Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. From doctors and dentists, to pharmacies and folk remedies, this exhibit presents an historical overview of all things related to health and well-being in Kings Mountain and the surrounding region. The display celebrates the medical pioneers of this area, and highlights the evolution of science and technology in medicine over the past three centuries. Military and Red Cross medical history, as well as iconic Kings Mountain providers like Griffin Drug Center, Kings Mountain Hospital, and Baker Dental Care are represented. The “Say Ahh!” exhibit is proudly sponsored by Cleveland County HealthCare System and Ragan & Reba Harper. The annual Model Train exhibit will return on November 15. Admission is free.

Opinions. . . Winter is coming... are you prepared? With summer fading and winter fast approaching are you prepared for the cold winter days and nights? Did you know half of all home fires occur during the Frank Burns months of December KM Fire Chief through February? One out of seven fires involved heating equipment and one out of six home fire deaths. In the US in 2013 there were 1,240, 000 fires reported, causing 3,240 civilian deaths, and injuring over 15,000 civilians. In 2013 a fire department responded to a fire every 25 seconds– one structure fire was reported every 65 seconds. One civilian fire injury was reported every 33 minutes; one civilian fire death occurred every 3 hours and 42 minutes. So are you ready for winter?
with space heaters on. If you use an electric space heater avoid using an extension cord; if you use an electric cord make sure it is heavy duty and will support the amperage needed. If the cord gets warm to touch disconnect it immediately. It is best to plug them into a receptacle.
Winter Fire prevention tips
Plan your escape
Have a working smoke detector and test monthly to insure proper operation. Have your heating system checked for proper operations Be sure furnace controls and emergency shutoffs are working properly Check the flue pipe and pipe seams in heating appliances to insure they are free of holes and are properly secured If you use fossil fuels make sure to have a working carbon monoxide alarm and test it monthly. Keep combustibles three feet from heating appliances If you use alternative fuel read operation instructions and make sure to follow safe operations instructions Be sure to keep small kids and pets away from space heaters, have at least three feet of clearance from combustibles. Never go to bed and leave space heaters on and never leave the house
Practice it to insure everyone knows how to get out and have a meeting place to insure everyone is out and no one goes back in. In back rooms of the house make sure there is an escape window that will open freely. Often when windows are painted they stick and will not open, make sure you can get out if you are cut off from the front of the house in the event of a fire. Make sure water pipes are prepared for winter to prevent freezing; if they do become frozen never use open flame to thaw them. Members of the Kings Mountain Fire Department would like to remind everyone to check their smoke detectors and make sure you have an evacuation plan. For more information call the Kings Mountain Fire Department at 704-7340555.
Wood stove and Fireplaces Make sure to have your chimney checked and cleaned annually Don’t use flammable liquids to start or accelerate a fire Make sure wood stoves are installed properly and have at least 36 inches of clearance from combustibles. Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fire place opening to prevent sparks from arcing out into the room. When decorating for the holidays never put combustibles on top of a mantel or hanging down in front of the fire place.
Ebola, stop the flights from West Africa Ebola affected Liberians and other West Africans who can obtain plane tickets will be headed to the United States. How many more can we handle coming into our country? We only Glenn Mollette have a handful of hosGuest Editorial pitals that are currently equipped to handle Ebola. Each of these has only four or five equipped isolated treatment areas. I have friends in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria. We must help them by providing West African hospitals with what they need to fight this fatal disease. America spends billions on war every year. Spending a few billion on equipping West African hospitals and training staff will be a great investment in saving our planet. I hope the West African nations will help us financially since our nation is broke. Closing commercial flights from this part of the world is a prickly idea for many. We have Americans who are living or visiting in Liberia who need to get back to America. We can screen them and fly them home. Medical teams, equipment and tons of medicine must go to these areas. There are
plenty of planes that can be booked for the months and probably years of medical service that will be demanded. This will not be a permanent situation. However, we cannot allow everybody to board planes to the United States and circulate in our country while spreading Ebola. Securing our borders from illegals, drug traders, ISIS and Ebola is a task that seems almost insurmountable. We are not winning the war on border security. We don't want to lose the Ebola war. There must not be any surrendering in this area of national security. A few hundred Ebola cases in this country would be more than we could handle. The real answer to the Ebola crisis is finding a cure. More than ever we need billions of dollars invested in medical research. Millions of Americans simply endure and live with disease instead of beating disease. We are desperate for a new era in America's medical research. It's time for a cure for cancer, neurological disease and Ebola.

We wish every citizen could spend an hour or two in one of our state’s domesticviolence courtrooms, attend a child custody hearing, or listen to a judge instruct a jury about to decide whether someone goes to jail. Nothing leaves such a vivid impression of the authority we give our judges. Yet when we vote for them, we hardly know their names.
From page 4A ballot November 4, many of our citizens will have “run out of bandwidth� when they reach the judicial elections. The North Carolina Bar Association has sponsored a series of forums to inform the public about the statewide races. All of those seeking election to the Supreme Court appeared at WUNC-TV in August to answer questions relevant to their service in the judiciary. Likewise, for two of the three contested Court of Appeals races, the four candidates participated in similar debates.

District Attorneys will also have more tools to effectively manage their case loads, allowing for swifter resolution of the criminal justice process. Only 1.84% of all Superior Court cases last year ended with a jury trial. District Attorneys may not plea bargain or dismiss charges as often if defendants can waive a jury. District Attorneys understand that jury trials demand more time and money, which is why they try to avoid them by plea bargaining and dismissing cases. Bench trials would give District Attorneys a faster and much more economical means of trial. Defendants who would otherwise plea bargain would have the opportunity to assert their innocence at a real trial before a judge. Waiving constitutional rights is neither new nor unusual. Individuals who choose not to possess a
gun waive their right to bear arms. Individuals who choose not to practice a religion waive their right to freely exercise a religion. A property owner gives up the right to that property when she conveys land by deed. When a homeowner allows the police to enter and search her home, the homeowner waives her 4th Amendment right to a search warrant. By testifying at his trial a defendant waives his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. Most rights are not absolute. Almost all rights
may be waived by voluntary acts. However, an individual can never sell himself as a slave. This right is guaranteed by the 13th Amendment. A person waiving the right to a trial by jury is no different from a person waiving any of the other REP constitutional rights that are waived every day. By voting for the constitutional amendment on November’s ballot you will make a criminal justice system more expeditious and just. REP. PAUL STAM

long as they don't try to influence others to accept their lifestyle as good in the eyes of God. To be fair to Ms. Parker, she has an impressive record in politics with Houston, having been in local office of some type (elected or paid) since 1998 if the Ask website has it right. She's a democrat (surprise). She attended Rice University. She graduated Jones College with a BA in anthropology, psychology, and sociology. The site lists her religion as United Methodist. She served on city council from 1998 to 2003, then was city controller from 2004 to 2010 when she took office as mayor. I've included this to show that Ms. Parker isn't stupid, just misguided. In 1986 she was president of Houston GLBT Political Caucus.

The mayor married another woman in 2014. The marriage took place in Palm Springs, CA. The website says Parker and her wife (not sure how they determine that-guess it's a lesbian and transgender thing) have been together since 1990 and they have two adopted daughters and one foster son. It's obvious, at least to me, that the children will be taught acceptance and tolerance of other people's sexual desires and displays, so that creates another chill down my spine because that is just one more way to further the effort of the homosexuals. You folks who don't think the LGBTQ is not a threat might as well rub yourself against one of the people infected with Ebola and hope you don't get infected. The odds are strongly against you if you ignore either threat. BEAUFORD BURTON Kings Mountain

Woman’s Club celebrates fall with annual festival
It was a feast of turkey, ham, green beans, stuffing, rolls, iced tea and more at last Wednesday’s Kings Mountain 111th Woman’s Club Annual Fall Festival. The event, which this year was themed “Country Time Festival", also featured a bazaar, floral exhibits and arts and crafts. Guests came for lunch or dinner at the longtime East Mountain St. club. Linda Appling was chair of the festival this year. Lori Sutherland and Carol Brazzell headed up the chefs in the kitchen including Glenda O'Shields, Betty Benton, Tammy Roper, Jane Alexander, Anne Gamble, Lois Blanton and Linda Appling. Roper, who also served as chair of table appointments, worked with participants to have a great show of table appointments.
“The Fall Festival is the highlight of our year, and the chief fundraiser for our projects,” said president Betty Gamble. She said club members appreciate the generosity of the community that has long supported the Woman’s Club in its many community project.
Participants produced beautifully decorated tables and the dessert table was a very popular destination. Members of the Woman’s Club served meals and visited with festival goers throughout the event.

Johnson breaks receiving record, Mountaineers fall to R-S in OT

KMHS senior Kayla Bolt (5) crushes the ball through an East Gaston block attempt with teammate Angel Peterson (8) providing backup.
Spikers beat EG, advance in 3A State playoffs Kings Mountain High’s volleyball team opened state tournament action Saturday at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium with a 3-0 sweep of the East Gaston Lady Warriors. The Lady Mountaineers avoided a slow start in games one and two to win 25-10, 25-9, 25-17 and advance to a second round game last night at home against AC Reynolds. The winner of that game will face the Fred T. Foard-West Henderson winner Thursday and the winner of that game will advance to the Western Regional championship game on October 25. (Games are at 7 p.m. unless otherwise agreed to by the schools involved). The state championship is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh. Even with a younger than usual team this season, Coach Ashley Pridgeon’s Lady Mountaineers have continued their dominance in the SMAC 2A/3A after winning numerous titles in the old Southwestern, Southwestern Foothills and Big South 3A conferences. The Lady Mountaineers have only three seniors – Kayla Bolt, Angie Peterson and Gracie Hunter – but players brought up from last year’s JV team have made exception strides. “We played very solid,”
Pridgeon said of the effort against the Lady Warriors. “We scrimmaged East Gaston in the preseason and that gave us a little idea of what to expect. A lot of our girls play with a lot theirs on club teams so we know them pretty well.” The Warriors came in ready to play and took a quick 2-0 lead. But after a 55 tie, reigning SMAC Player of the year Kayla Bolt had two monstrous kills to give the KM ladies the lead for good. KM went on to build a 20-6 lead before East Gaston rallied briefly at the end. Game two was similar as East Gaston scored first. An Angie Peterson kill tied it and the Lady Mountaineers got on another roll. The lead grew to 10-4 and 20-8 and Bolt closed it out with another strong kill. Kings Mountain took a 1-0 lead and never trailed in the third game, although the Warriors kept it closer longer than in the previous two games. East trimmed the deficit to 21-16 late before the Lady Mounties pulled away. Pridgeon said the sweep, as well as the season, has been a surprise. “It’s been a long season but our confidence has been exceptional so far,” she said. “We have six or seven sophomores playing a lot and all See VOLLEYBALL, Page B2
Senior split end Xavier Johnson broke Terrance Young’s career pass reception yards record but the Mountaineers were upset by R-S Central 21-14 in overtime in a SMAC 2A/3A Conference game Friday at John Gamble Stadium. Johnson caught nine passes for 129 yards, giving him 99 catches for 1,569 yards in his career. Young caught 78 passes for 1,558 yards during his career. Johnson caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Bell with 6:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, and Sam Liss kicked the extra point to tie the game at 14all and force the overtime. Running back Matt Atchley scored from three yards out in overtime to put the Hilltoppers on top 21-14. A fourth down pass intended for Johnson in the back of the end zone was tipped away by a Hilltopper defender to hand the Mountaineers their second straight loss and third in the last four games. The Mountaineers carry a 3-3 SMAC and 6-3 overall record to Chase Friday night and will then have an open date before hosting East Burke in their final regular season game on Friday, Nov. 7. They need victories in the final two games to strengthen their seed and hopefully secure a home game for the first round of the state 3AA playoffs. For the second straight week, the Mountaineers couldn’t get their running game going, but the return of Bell at quarterback, which allowed Tico Crocker to go back to his slot receiver position, strengthened the KM air assault which netted 204 yards. The Hilltoppers dominated play in the trenches, holding KM to less than 100 yards rushing for the second straight week. Meanwhile, their running game, led by senior Matt Atchley, racked up 253 yards and ate up a lot of clock. Atchley, who also played an exceptional defensive game, finished with 130 yards and the winning touchdown. Three times, the Hilltopper D turned back the Mountaineers in the red zone, including a dropped pass in the end zone, a loss of downs at the three yard line, and a pass interception inside the five. R-S built a 14-0 lead before the Mountaineers bat-

The Hilltoppers drove the opening kickoff 67 yards with Atchley carrying twice for 42 yards to set up a oneyard scoring plunge by 230pound fullback Juwan Watkins. Xavier Johnson returned the ensuing kickoff from the three to the 29 yard line, and behind pass receptions of 13 yards by Jake Merchant, 20 and 13 by Johnson, 10 by Darian McClain and eight by Crocker, worked the ball to the RS five. Facing second down and just two yards for a first down, R-S threw Dylan Frederick for a oneyard loss and stopped McClain for no gain and a one yard gain to take over on downs. After KM was forced to punt late in the first quarter, R-S drove 66 yards to score on a three-yard keeper by quarterback Tyrese Tate and go up 14-0. Another Johnson KO return to the 31, followed by a 15-yard personal foul on the tackle, resulted in KM taking possession at the 46. See KM/R-S, Page B7

Moss finished second in 22:40.70, less than a second behind winner Aleah Blalock of Draughn (22:40.10). Blalock was selected SMAC Runner of the Year and Kings Mountain’s Rayvis Key was Coach of the Year. Morton, a two-time Runner of the Year in the Big South 3A Conference, ran fourth in 23:51.10. Smith was eighth in 24:32.00 and Wyte ninth in 24:43.50. All of the top ten runners were named SMAC All-Confer-

the girls are always talking to each other and lifting each other up. That was displayed very well today. “We’re short, but we’re a scrappy team. We have a lot of sophomores and three seniors and they’d never played together and I’m sure it was scary for them. But we went through three-a-day practices in preseason and they bonded after about three weeks and have played very well together.� In their final two regular season games last week, the
Lady Mountaineers lost to Gaffney, SC 3-0 in a nonconference game and defeated East Burke 3-0 in their final SMAC contest. Gaffney came to Parker Gym and defeated the KM ladies 27-25, 25-15, 25-20 after winning the JV game 25-16, 25-17. Bolt led the varsity with 14 kills and 13 digs and Peterson had seven kills. Hunter had 16 digs and Sara Pasour had 24 assists. At East Burke Wednesday, the Lady Mountaineers closed out a 15-1 conference season with a 25-22, 25-15,
25-23 victory. Kings Mountain has won the SMAC each of its two years in the split 2A/3A conference. The Lady Mountaineers’ only two losses during those championship seasons were to Valdese Draughn (one loss each season). Bolt had 15 kills, eight digs and five aces to lead the KM ladies. Shanyia Portee had seven kills and Peterson four. Pasour had 31 assists. Hunter had 28 digs, Gretchen Boyles 14, Ashton Withers 11 and Pasour eight.

Patriots win Tri-County East, host Shelby today in playoffs Kings Mountain Middle School’s Patriots wrapped up the Tri-County Eastern Division championship Wednesday at home with a 46-18 win over Burns and will host Western Division runner-up Shelby today at 4:30 in the opening round of the conference championship playoffs. The Patriots won all five of their East Division games after losing to Shelby 12-6 in a non-division season opener in Kings Mountain. Fumbles plagued the Patriots in that loss as both Shelby scores were set up by KM miscues. Fumbles were also the culprit in their only close East division game, a double-overtime win over East Lincoln. Last week’s game wasn’t close for long as Kings Mountain drove the opening kickoff 78 yards to take an 8-0 lead on a 9-yard run by Ricaylen Mack and twopoint conversion run by Marquise Fewell. The Patriots added 10 more points in a 12-second span in the second period to take command. KM’s Jason Pitts had intercepted a pass at the Burns 26. After a holding penalty set the Patriots back to the 36, Christopher Brittain pulled in an over-the-shoulder catch at the Burns six. The Patriots then lost a fumble which resulted in Burns being backed up inside the 10-yard line. KM’s Nathan Groves sacked Burns QB Kujuan Pryor in the end zone for a safety and a 10-0 lead. Burns free-kicked from the 20 yard line and KM’s Devin Allen returned it 60 yards
for a touchdown. Charles Osborne passed to Pitts for a two-point conversion and an 18-0 lead. Burns rallied to score on a 36-yard touchdown catch by Dontayvious Jones to cut the score to 18-6 at the half, but the Patriots put 14 points on the board in each of the final two quarters to put the game on ice. Pitts scored from 14 yards out and Estevan Vargas ran a 49-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Kaylon Wade passed to Landon Zanders for a two-point conversion after Vargas’ TD to run the score to 32-6. After another touchdown catch and run by the Eagles’ Jones, KM tacked on fourth quarter touchdowns by Fewell on a two-yard run and Zanders on a 15-yard scamper. Ian Bishop ran a two-point conversion following Zanders’ TD, making the score 46-12. Burns’ Chavius Reid got off a 63-yard touchdown run on the last play of the game to round out the scoring. Shelby comes to Gamble Stadium this afternoon with a 5-1 overall record after losing 7-6 to Crest in the Eastern Division championship game last Wednesday. This is Kings Mountain’s third straight trip to the conference playoffs. They won the championship in 2012 with playoff victories over Crest and Shelby. The key players on that Patriots team, including Darian McClain, Jake Merchant, Trevon Wilson, Cooper Short, Kaven Mosley, Darren Burns, Roman Byers, and Malik Banner are now with the KM Mountaineers.

KM/R-S: Mounties fall as Xavier Johnson breaks receiving record From page 1B Jair McCluney entered the game and got the Mountaineer running game going with a 14-yard run to the RS 40. Pass receptions of 13 yards by Crocker and eight by Johnson, a two-yard run by McCluney and a sevenyard keeper by Bell moved the Mountaineers to the 7. R-S jumped offsides, resulting in a first down at the three. McClain bulled his way to the one, and an unsportsmanlike penalty against R-S tacked on an additional 18 inches. Bell snuck it in and Sam Liss booted the PAT to cut the margin to 14-7.

The Mountaineers were successful on a hook and lateral in the third quarter. The pass to Johnson, who lateraled to Crocker, resulted in a 32-yard gain to the RS 14. Two plays later, though, Atchley intercepted a pass at the goal line and returned it to the 14. After a fumble recovery by Shawn Adams with 6:42 left in the game, the Mountaineers took over on their own 39. A 13-yard catch by Johnson put them in RS territory, and a 30-yard TD pass from Bell to Johnson, and a PAT by Liss, tied the game at 14 with 6:42 left. R-S reached as far as the KM 27 before Keenan
Baker sacked Tate for an 11yard loss, and Jake Merchant intercepted a pass in the end zone with 55 seconds left. KM elected to take a knee and send the game into overtime. KM won the toss and elected to play defense, but they couldn’t stop the RS ground game and Atchley scored on third down. A run for no gain by Crocker, an incomplete pass and a five-yard reception by Johnson put KM in a fourth and goal situation. Johnson was open in the back of the end zone but an alert RS defender was able to jump high and tip the ball out the back of the end zone.
Kings Mountain’s Darian McClain (23) runs for some tough yardage against R-S Central in Friday’s game at Gamble Stadium. McClain saw his first action in three weeks after being injured in the Shelby game.

McAbee brothers are diehard football fans The McAbee brothers – Danny and Kenny – are diehard football fans. And, yes, they support the hometown Mountaineers but that's where their joint support ends. “I am a Cowboys fan and my brother is a Redskins fan," says Kenny, who takes every opportunity to tell his younger brother that Monday night's big football game in Dallas, Texas between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins will be a winner for the Cowboys. Kenny will be decked out in a Cowboys hat and shirt in front of his TV set. Danny will be decked out in his Redskins “Hog” and shirt in front of his TV and both have fun wagers that each others team will win. Both men worked at McAbee's Grocery for many years on Piedmont Avenue.
Kenny teased his brother unbearably when the Cowboys won a game and to the customers' delight would ride around the store on a broom with bragging rights, “How about those Cowboys?” All that “bragging” is going to be for the Redskins," laughs Danny. “Not so," laughs Kenny, who has a small wager with Philip Mosier of Central Barber Shop, a Redskins fan, that the Cowboys will be at the top of the game. “I'm planning on getting get my haircut free," he laughed.
Danny McAbee, left, and Kenny McAbee will be in front of their TV sets Monday night. Danny will be cheering for the Washington Redskins. Kenny will be cheering for the Dallas Cowboys.
