crats Mary Accor and Willie McIntosh. The seats of two of the five members of the board – chairman Jason Falls, (R) and vice-chairman Eddie Holbrook (D) are not up in this years's election. Cleveland County citizens will also decide between Republican Betsy Harnage and incumbent Democrat Debi Mull Harrill

“Cancer takes you out of your normal world,” says Jerry Ledford, participant in the fall session of Livestrong at the YMCA at the Kings Mountain Y. He continues, “I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013. There are a lot of platitudes that are meant to be encouraging. “More men die with prostate cancer than from prostate cancer.” And “if you’re going to have cancer, prostate cancer is a good one to have”. But the platitudes don’t matter…when they tell you that you have cancer, that’s the only thing you hear.” Jerry Ledford says, “I’m usually a very private person, and I really don’t enjoy sharing personal and intimate details about things, but I really feel compelled to share the Livestrong at the YMCA Program I’m in with Cheryl, Marion and Melanie. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a free program hosted by the Y facilities in Kings Mountain, Shelby, and Boiling Springs. It is designed for cancer survivors 18 years and older who have become de-conditioned or chronically fatigued from their treatment or disease. The goals of the program include: Rebuilding muscular strength and endurance, increasing flexibility and improving functional ability, reducing severity of therapy side effects, preventing unwanted weight changes, and improving self-esteem and energy levels.

Jerry Ledford, second from left, has been active in the Kings Mountain Family YMCA since his bout with cancer and says the LiveStrong program is one that helped him to become healthy again. Cheryl Vagnozzi, left, Melanie Ballard, and Marion Weiss, right, have been participants in the class. hours. Participants may bring a support person who can participate in a workout of their own. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this program is free to participants. Participants must receive medical clearance and are evaluated on an individual basis. Patients currently undergoing treatment may participate, but only if they receive proper medical clearance. The 90 minute sessions are held twice a week. The 12 week semesters begin in Feb, June & Sept. Specific days/times are determined for each location. Ledford shares, “The disease and it treatments effect you physically, mentally and emotionally. I’ve spent the last three years lying on the couch, exhausted and drained by the treatments, devoid of any energy or motivation. You become so passive about life while all this is going on. My wife tells me that I’ve spent the last three years waiting for the other shoe to drop.” But then he heard about Livestrong at the YMCA. He says, “The Livestrong Program is an exercise based program that measures where you are at the start of the program, and designs a program to fit your individual needs. But it goes beyond just exercise. It’s a support group designed to provide that much needed emotional and mental support as well. Daron, Stephanie, Leah and Lee are the program staff and have provided strong leadership and we as participants have already started to bond.” Ledford says, “I first heard about the program in a newspaper article featuring Susannah Harris of Charlotte. Diagnosed with
a form of leukemia, she got into remission, and then used a Wellness Program to “climb her way back to being my full self”. So many of the things she said in the article rang true with me. She said she felt like she was “starting at the bottom of the mountain” and how she “just wanted to feel like me again”. Harris is an inspiration to me, both in her own success and in motivating me to seek out a Wellness Program. I owe a real debt of gratitude to her.” Ledford says he couldn’t have made it this far alone. “I must say I simply couldn’t have endured the last three years without my wife, Sheila. A pillar of compassion and support, she not only drove me to all my radiation treatments and doctor’s appointments, but she was always there just to rub my back when I needed it most. My employers have been a jewel, incredibly supportive. Their attitude through all this is “do whatever you have to do.” It has made living with cancer and the treatments easier, and I’m immensely grateful for that. All my doctors have been great, too, including Drs. Christian Anderson and Bob Gosset.” You get to the point where you simply thirst for a return to normality. Harris said she felt like “I had re-entered healthy people land”. By the time our Livestrong Program at the YMCA is complete, I’m optimistic I can make the same claim.''

Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Husky Cozart There’s an old cliché, “You can't know where you are going until you know w h e r e you have been.” I believe that, so I try to learn as much history as COZART possible to prepare myself for the future. Earlier in the year, I wrote that I had been reading from the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter DAR Minutes Book found while going though old records. I continue to read it when I have time, because you can learn a lot about a community and its citizens from the various tidbits of information found in books like this. In a recent trip down memory lane, I read that the DAR ladies were concerned about the kinds of movies being played in the Opera House. That statement piqued my interest. Through the years, I’ve
heard about the Dixie, Imperial, and Joy Theaters. But, I’ve never heard of an Opera House. So, I began asking everyone if they knew where in town the Opera House was located. Nobody knew, so I was at a dead end. Later, Joe Rountree and I had conversation about historic local maps for our area: Mouzon, Kyzer, and others. That conversation brought to mind the Sanborn Maps I’d seen at the Cleveland County Courthouse years ago. Sanborn Maps show commercial properties and the materials they are made of, for insurance purposes. So, I looked online and found digital versions of the Kings Mountain Sanborn Maps of 1902, 1908, and 1919. I looked at the 1919 map, since that the closest to the date in which I had interest, but I found nothing. So, I looked at the 1908 map. And, Viola! There it was: The Opera House. Well, it wasn’t grand, but might have been considered such for its time.
concerned our DAR members. I’ll have to check that when The Herald is digitized and available for online search. Could it have been “Birth of a Nation”? Wouldn’t that be interesting to know? I also noticed the bank was housed at various locations up and down Railroad Avenue over the span of 17 years. Surprisingly, it wasn’t ever located at the intersection of Mountain and Railroad East (now Battleground Avenue). Between 1902 and 1919, a Drugstore was located there. Now, I want to learn more about the bank: when it moved there, why the brick facade is different colors, etc. As a small child, I remember banking there with my mother. Although a vague memory now, it is one that will remain with me all my life. I remember the teller window and wonder where it is now. If you know answers to these questions, feel free to share them with me, lhcozart@cccom.com. I’ll let you know what I discover.
“Moving pictures” were all the craze and Kings Mountain had an Opera House of its very own. The Opera House was located on Railroad Ave. East, what we now call Battleground Ave. It was located on the second floor above a Hand Printing Shop; the town’s Armory was located next door. Railroad Ave. was divided, East and West, by the railroad tracks. Perhaps traffic flowed in one direction on either side of the railroad tracks to make getting around easier. There was a freight depot on the east side and the Opera House was on the second floor directly across the street from it. The passenger depot was on the west side in front of Plonk-Kiser & Company Store. That made sense, considering the Mountain View Hotel was just down the street where the Joy Performance Theater now stands. So, now I’ve found the Opera House, but I have no idea what “moving pictures” were playing that

Multitudes, Multitudes in the Valley of Decision Joel 3:14 This scripture describes our nation and our citizens as we approach what will be the most monBishop Roger umental elecWoodard tion of my Senior Pastor Kings Mountain lifetime. Family Worship The decisions made in the voting booths of the U. S. will set the fate of the U.S.A. for the rest of our lives, our kids and grand kids lives. The next President will have the opportunity to nominate 98 judges to federal bench their first week in office. One of them
will be to the Supreme Court. The court will decide whether same sex marriage, transgender issues, abortion on demand, restricted religious freedom for Christians, limits on free speech, 2nd Amendment freedoms and many other issues, will become the new societal normal. This is not just about Democrats and Republicans. In fact, I have great disdain for both and no respect for anyone who just votes party over issues. Partisans will vote party if the Anti-Christ heads the ticket. This is an election that requires serious prayer, searching the scriptures for knowledge and wisdom, and actually informing ourselves about what we will be supporting with our vote.
No matter what contemporary pundits espouse, this nation was founded, not just faith in any God, but on belief in the Holy Bible and the Christ revealed in that Bible. All the pabulum of we are a “pluralistic” nation is a lie. True, that’s what is happening to us, as these Anti-Christ crusaders successfully promote their destructive agenda. This nation was founded by Christians for worship of Jesus Christ and in their love of God and people provided for everyone to have freedom practice or not practice, any and all religions. And while arguments can be made concerning the depth of true commitment to Christ and His teachings, surveys still show over 70% of Americans
self identify as Christian. It’s well past time Christians step up and vote for Christian values. This is a very sobering reality. The remaining lines of Joel 3:14 states “for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” I tremble as I pray, when Christians and non-Christians also go into the voting booth that the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ will come upon us and compel us to vote righteously. There is so much at stake. I must declare with Joshua 24:15, “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.’’

■ LIFESTYLES
Gateway Trail, Duke Energy Women in Civil War partners in Butterfly Garden is program subject W h a t started the Butterfly Garden for the Gateway Trail? In 2015 a program was given at the SHIRLEY Kings MounBRUTKO tain Rotary Club about Monarch butterflies becoming extinct, and how communities could come together and plant butterfly gardens especially with the milk weed plant that would sustain Monarch butterflies. Kings Mountain is located on the Butterfly Highway, a Monarch migration route from Mexico to Canada and back every year. The Trail committee approved the idea and set aside funding to help start the project on the perfect site, The Plateau, which offers full sunlight. Dennis Paterson, committee member, agreed to head up the design and planting of the garden. Dennis plowed the area and prepared the site for planting. Research was begun with Angel Hjarding, head of Monarch butterfly gardens for the state, and director of pollinator and wildlife habitat programs, a chapter based in Charlotte. Cheryl Kelton and Randy Hinnant, Duke Energy Kings Mountain Generation Support Facility employees, were interested in starting a Duke Energy Teams4Good volunteer project and partnering with Kings Mountain Gateway Trail Butterfly Garden. “We discussed facts about the national movement, Saving our Pollinators. Unknowingly Shirley Brutko, Executive Director of KM Gateway Trail, had the same vision. Our first contact and conversation was a blissful match made in heaven feeling. Some connections are just meant to be and this was one of them. We found the pollinator facts to be amazing and the environmental cause much needed and knew this would be the
start of something w o n derful,'' Kelton and Hinnant said. InterCHERYL estingfacts KELTON about pollinators and Monarchs. One out of every bite of food we eat is pollinated by our pollinators, bee, butterfly, bat or moth. The monarch butterfly is the most recognizable pollinator and species of wildlife in America. They undertake one of the world's most remarkable and fascinating migrations, traveling thousands of miles from Mexico to Canada in the Spring and Canada to Mexico in the Fall, they're currently on their Fall migration and Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs only on the milkweed plant. Unknown to scientists, is how the two ounce insects instinctively know their migration journey and destinations to survive the most amazing migration of all species. The Kings Mountain Gateway Trail Butterfly Garden will take three years to become an adult butterfly garden and will eventually bloom across 3.5 acres. It will be a beautiful site with artistic additions including arbors, benches, educational markers and many other garden creations for enhancements. This project has many phases and will provide ongoing Duke Energy Teams4Good volunteer events for several years to come. Organizers and volunteers have since held two in-house presentations at Duke Energy Kings Mountain Generation Support Facility and three volunteer events at Kings Mountain Gateway Trail Butterfly garden. At the in-house presentations Scott Fletcher, Duke Energy Manager Environmental Services, provided an informative presentation about the importance of sav-
ing our pollinators. Packets of pollinator seeds were distributed to encourage starting pollinator plants at home. Last Thursday Craig DeBrew, Duke Energy Government and Community Relations Manager, presented KM Gateway Butterfly Garden with a Duke Energy Grant Foundation check for $4,000 and a Duke Energy Teams4Good volunteers presented a check for $ 500.00 for 40 hours of volunteering at the butterfly garden. The volunteer event, planting of the seeds, later followed at the butterfly garden where volunteers spread NC native pollinator seeds, placed rocks outlining a winding path through the garden and released 15 Monarch butterflies to take flight for Fall migration. Craig DeBrew presented the check to the Gateway Trail and Cheryl Kelton presented one on behalf of Duke Energy and the volunteers that worked at the trail. They have had several work days at the trail where they cleaned up the trail. One work day included moving rocks and debris out of the garden area. Also, on Thursday they planted seeds in the garden, raked & spread hay on top of the seeds, put rocks alongside of the path through the garden and helped release the butterflies at the end of the work day and dedication of the garden ''This event was such a beautiful and peaceful experience, knowing we were part of enhancing our environment,'' said Brutko. This event alone provided an additional 40 volunteer hours and $500 toward the butterfly garden project. Attendees have included Duke Energy volunteers and management, KM Gateway Trail Butterfly Garden board members, KM High School Science teacher Margot Plonk and students and Mayor Scott Neisler.f Duke engineers from Charlotte participated at a team

building event. “Everyone is so thankful for Duke Energy's involvement and excited a bout the partnership with a national and environmental cause to save our pollinators,'' said Brutko. North American monarch butterflies are in trouble. Threats, including loss of milkweed habitat needed to lay their eggs and for their caterpillars to eat, are having a devastating impact on their populations and the migration phenomenon. Unless action is taken this amazing monarch would disappear in our lifetime. Conserving and connecting habitat for monarchs will benefit many other plants and animals. In the spring of 2017 flowers should start popping up in the garden. Later, pollinators can be viewed and the garden will be a place for visitors to enjoy for viewing and studying of the pollinators and for taking pictures of the butterflies and their surrounding.

City of Kings Mountain awards
CLEVELAND CUP WINNERS. - Three employees of the City of Kings Mountain were winners in the Cleveland Cup 5-k race recently. Mayor Scott Neisler, left, presents resolutions of appreciation to Taylor Thrift and Steve Killian, right. Not pictured: Meagan Noell-Teasley. PHOTOS BY JAN HARRIS
CONFEDERATE ROSE - Every Southern garden needs a Confederate Rose, says Kings Mountain resident Lou Ballew who says her rose only blooms in her yard at this time of year. It's easy to grow and loves the conditions in our area. The Confederate Rose ( or Cotton Rose) opens white, and over the course of two days the bloom lasts, they turn gradually from white to pink to almost red, when the flower finally falls from the bush. It is considered a large bush, the plant roots easily from cuttings, has few pests, is drought resistant and grows during the summer, the blooms appearing in the fall.
Mayor Scott Neisler presents a certificate of achievement to KMPD Officer Bryan McGinnis for 10 years service with the City of Kings Mountain.
ELECTRIC CREW – Pictured are members of the City of Kings Mountain Electric Department who assisted with relief efforts in Eastern North Carolina from damage caused by Hurricane Matthew.

has a well-earned reputation as one of the most advanced, well-run telediagnostic companies in the world and already had an impressive footprint in the U.S. market,” said King. “I’m thrilled to join this talented team as TRS seeks to expand beyond its first 100 U.S. hospital partners as it seeks to grow into the largest teleradiology service provider in the country.” Billy King Jr. has more than 15 years of professional sales and marketing experience, including over 12 years in medical sales and physician staff training. Prior to joining TRS, Mr. King served in various medical sales leadership roles, including Novo Nordisk (diabetes division), Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical (a Johnson and Johnson company where he worked in the anti-infective division in in Macon, Georgia) and ZymoGenetics, where his duties included product education for surgeons and nursing staff at hospitals, surgical centers and U.S. Department of Defense facilities across the Carolinas. Originally from Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Billy earned a degree in business administration from the University of Mount Olive.

State Champions! Frye, Lutz beat four opponents in straight sets to win doubles Kings Mountain freshman Madelynn Frye and sophomore Natalie Lutz swept the North Carolina High School Athletic Association doubles tennis championship Friday and Saturday at the Tennis Center in Burlington. The duo entered the tournament undefeated and won that event in much the same fashion as they did all of their regular season, South
Mountain Athletic Conference, and Western Regional matches. Going to Burlington just a week after winning the Western Regional championship in Asheville, they whipped four opponents in straight sets to become the first doubles team ever from KMHS to win the NCHSAA championship. Kings Mountain has five singles state titles to
its credit since joining the NCHSAA. Bryan Jones, who was a prep All-American at KMHS and went on to play at the University of North Carolina, won the state singles in 1989, and Jackie Houston won the state women’s single championship four years in a row (1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996) while amassing a career record of 83-0. She was the 1997 North Carolina
High School Athletic Association Female Athlete of the Year and went on to play four years at Wake Forest. Tim Riddle won the singles championship and the Mountaineers won the team title in the old Western North Carolina High Schools Activities Association in 1978. Frye and Lutz opened their quest for the title FriSee STATE CHAMPS, Page 6B

Patriots host Shelby today for Tri-County championship Kings Mountain Middle School’s football team will be trying to repeat as Tri-County Conference champions when they host Shelby’s Blue Devils Wednesday at 5 p.m. at John Gamble Stadium. Tim Gunn’s lads punched their ticket to the championship game last week with an exciting 20-6 victory over Crest. Although the Patriots never trailed, the game was a nailbiter ‘til the end. It was the Patriots sixth straight win this year and 13th in a row over the past two seasons. They defeated Crest in last year’s conference championship game. Things didn’t look too good early for the Patriots, who never trailed in a conference game this season but did have to come from behind to defeat Shelby in their non-division season opener. On the second play of the game,
and with Crest on its on seven yard line, Nysir Downs broke up the middle on a quarterback draw and had a clear shot at the end zone. But, KM’s Kobe Paysour was able to catch up with him inside the five and stripped him of the ball. The Patriots recovered it in the end zone for a touchback. Crest missed taking the lead a couple series later when the Dragons’ Mavien Prokop recovered a KM fumble and returned it 67 yards for an apparent touchdown. However, Crest was penalized for a block in the back, and turned the ball over three plays later on a fumble recovered by KM’s Robert Lipscomb. With 7:49 left in the half, Kings Mountain finally gained its composure and launched a 12-play scoring drive that resulted in a six-yard touchdown pass from Titus Phillips to Paysour and a 6-0 halftime lead. See PATRIOTS, Page 4B
Kings Mountain’s Kobe Paysour is off and running for some of his 115 yards rushing in the Patriots’ 20-6 win over Crest.
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will play their final regular season football game Friday night at Gamble Stadium against the East Burke Cavaliers. Even though the Cavaliers come in with only two wins and will be putting their equipment away, it is still a big game for the Mountaineers. They cannot avoid a slip-up because it could cost them some home games in the upcoming state playoffs. Kings Mountain goes into the Senior Night contest with a 7-3 overall re-
cord and 5-2 mark in the South Mountain Athletic Conference. The outcome of this game could give them as high as a #1 conference seed or as low as a #3 for the 3A playoffs. As it stands now, the Mountaineers are tied with Burns for third place in the SMAC. Shelby, which is 2A, leads the way with an unbeaten 7-0 conference mark and Crest is second at 6-1. KM and Burns, which plays at RS Central, are both 5-2. See FOOTBALL, Page 4B

First-year coach happy with spikers’ success, will ‘come out fighting’ again next season Heather Pasour’s first year as head coach of the Kings Mountain High volleyball team was very successful despite a second round loss in the NCHSAA 3A playoffs. The Lady Mountaineers won the South Mountain Athletic Conference championship and finished with a 21-3 overall record. Their only loss in the conference – one of the toughest in the state in volleyball – was to East Burke 3-2. Pasour was somewhat familiar with the Mountaineer volleyball program, having coached against them during her tenure at North Gaston High School. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, KM had one of the premier programs in the state, winning two state championships. Since their last state
crown in 2001, the Mountaineers have not gone back to the Regional or State finals, and last year was one of the few times they didn’t win the conference. They were 10-6 in the league behind Draughn, East Burke and RS Central, and 11-10 overall. Pasour officially took over the program at the start of this school year, but did have prior knowledge of her players. Her first goal was to build a strong defense. “We focused our season early on serve receptions and defense,” she said. “Overall this season we were 91 percent on serve receptions. Our great defense then allowed us to have success on offense. “The focus of preseason and early season was on defense. If you cannot get the
pass up to the setter you will never result in a kill. After having success on defense early we were able to shift our focus more to our offense.” Big wins early in the season was probably the key to success, she said. “Once we were able to pull out big wins early against Draughn, East Burke and RS Central, it allowed us to build self confidence,” she said. “Our strong defense allowed us to win early.” Pasour will lose eight good senior players, many of whom should be on the All-SMAC team and one possibly being named SMAC Player of the Year. Seniors include Lindsea Smith, Ashton Withers, Mandy Hamrick, Jayla Hutchens, Ka’myiah Pressley, Gretchen Boyles and
Sara Pasour. Returning next year will be Lindsey Deaver, Baylee Marr, Makena Deaton, Kaniya McClain and Leeasia Rhodes. “We will be preparing to fill spots in the spring and summer leading up to next season,” she said. “We will miss these seniors. They were definitely key to our success this season, but I have full confidence that we have players returning that can fill those roles. “We want to continue to build on our growth on defense,” she added. “But for us to take the next step as a team we need to work hard to improve on offense. We will start off season workouts in the spring, summer workouts and a team camp. We will come out fighting again next season.” Kings Mountain’s Ashley Rhom passes to a teammate in last week’s 3A state playoff game at Parker Gym.
REGIONAL XC MEET
KM’s Bridges county’s only state qualifier Kings Mountain High sophomore Nicola Bridges will be the only Cleveland County runner competing in the state 3A cross country championship Saturday. Bridges finished 11th overall in a time of 21:23 in the Western Regional run
Saturday at Freedom High School in Morganton. Removing the runners whose teams qualified for the state, Bridges will go as the sixth best individual in Western North Carolina. The highest finisher for the KM boys was Malachi
Wingate who was 26th in 17:57. Twenty-five teams competed in the Regional. The KM boys finished 10th and the girls 13th. Conner Calhoun turned in the second best effort for the Lady Mountaineers with
a 23rd place finish. Brooke Clark was 67th, Zahra Roberts 85th, Kassidy Hamrick 98th, Zoe Eagan 105th and Caroline Foster 106th. Dane Skeith turned in the second best finish for the Mountaineers at 42nd place. Jalen Roberts ran 71st, Jesse
Hughes 73rd, Austin Mckee 93rd, Caleb Barnes 96th and Zachary Falls 104th. AC Reynolds won the girls meet with 92 points. Crest finished 12th. Asheville won the boys race with 76 points. Crest was 16th.
KMHS sophomore Nicola Bridges ran 11th in last week’s Western Regional cross country meet to qualify for this Saturday’s state championship.
KM netters beat Cuthbertson in first round Kings Mountain High’s tennis team rolled to a 5-2 victory over Cuthbertson last Tuesday at home in the opening round of the state 3A playoffs. The Lady Mountaineers were scheduled to host East Rowan, a first round winner over Gastonia Forestview, last night. The winner will advance to the third round on November 3. The Western Regional match is scheduled for November 9, and the state championship is November 12 at the Burlington Tennis Center. The Lady Mountaineers had very little trouble, winning four of the first five singles matches in straight sets. They closed out the victory when Lutz and Frye swept their doubles match with Cuthbertson’s Lilla Gladden and Clara Stone, 6-0, 6-0.

Rashad Brooks picks up yardage for Kings Mountain Middle in last week’s playoff win over Crest.
Wednesday, November 2, 2016
Kings Mountain’s Damien Wilson makes a big run in last week’s win over Crest.
PATRIOTS: Kings Mountain Middle School faces Shelby in championship game tonight From Page 1B The third quarter was a defensive battle. With Crest facing fourth and 15 at the KM 36, the Patriots’ Nick Burrows sacked Downs, giving the Patriots the ball
at their own 41 going into the fourth period. Paysour got off a 30-yard run around end, and three plays later caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Phillips. Damien Wilson ran a two-point conversion for a
14-0 lead with 5:37 left in the game. Crest wouldn’t go down without a fight, though. The Dragons drove 66 yards in just five plays to score on a six-yard touchdown run by Chaylin Parks that cut the
lead to 14-6 with 3:31 remaining. But KM’s Wesley Hughes caught a popped-up onside kick attempt and took a knee with 3:29 left at the KM 46 yard line. A big six-yard run by Paysour with 1:50 left gave
KM a first down at the Crest 44; and on a fourth and 10 with just 30 seconds left, Paysour broke around right end for a 33-yard touchdown run. After the kickoff, Paysour intercepted a Crest pass to end the game.
In addition to his defensive heroics at the beginning and end of the game, Paysour finished with 115 yards rushing on just nine carries and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 17 yards and a TD.
VOLLEYBALL: KMHS Spikers fall in second round of playoffs From Page 1B 22 digs and 17 serve receptions. Pasour added 15 service points and 33 assists. “We came out strong,” said Mountaineer coach Heather Pasour. “It was a huge confidence boost to jump out to a 9-0 lead in the first set. This was huge. Someone from the other team told us that they were
amazed at how we all played together so well and went after the same goal.” The next night against Hickory Ridge, the Mountaineers had trouble answering the much taller visitors along the nets. Kings Mountain hung tough in the first two games before falling 2520, 25-21, 25-17. Following late-game time outs in each of the first games, the visi-
tors went on a late run to take the victory. Kings Mountain fell behind early in the first game but battled back strong to tie the score 18-all and took their first lead of the game at 19-18 when Ka’Myiah Pressley’s block of a Hickory Ridge spike attempt fell in for a KM point. The visitors battled back for a 21-19 lead before Press-
ley’s kill cut it to 21-20. But, KM wouldn’t score again. The Lady Mountaineers grabbed an early lead in game two, and the lead switched hands several times before the Bulls took a 20-19 lead on Jayda Carlton’s kill. Leading 22-21, the Bulls scored the final three points. Facing an almost impossible task of having to win three straight games to ad-
vance, the Lady Mountaineers got off to a slow start in the third contest and never led. “Hickory Ridge had too many big hitters on all rotations,” noted Coach Pasour. “You never knew where the ball was going to come from. We are a short team and it is tough to defend this. I felt that our defense did a good job defending them, but because
of the other team’s height it was tough for our offense to get past their blockers. They went out fighting and that is all you can ask from a team. I am very proud of their hard work and dedication this season.” Hickory Ridge was eliminated in the third round Saturday, falling to North Iredell 3-0.
FOOTBALL: Mountaineers play host to East Burke on Senior Night From Page 1B A Kings Mountain win and a Burns and Crest loss Friday would give the top 3A seed to the Mountaineers. A Crest loss and KM and Burns wins would mean a three-way tie for second and a coin flip for the three 3A conference playoff seeds. With their record, the Mountaineers would probably have a first round playoff game at home regardless
of Friday’s outcomes. But, should Burns lose to RS and Crest lose to Shelby, the Mountaineers would probably be at home for at least the first two playoff games, maybe more. “We definitely need this win Friday for seeding purposes,” says Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “If it’s a two-way tie for second place between us and Crest we would get the top seed because we beat them. All of our scenarios depend on us
winning and Crest losing to Shelby. If we win and both Burns and Crest lose, that would make it easy for us.” Despite its loss to Chase last week, Lloyd expects a tough game from East Burke. Coached by the legendary Tom Brown, who is North Carolina’s winningest active coach, the Cavaliers are big up front and don’t make many mistakes. “They played a very solid game last week,” Lloyd noted. Their main running
back, Dakota Fox, carried the ball 40 times for 238 yards. “He’s quick and they will be trying to get the ball to him,” Lloyd said. “They’re predominantly a run team. They play a 3-4 defense and did very well against Chase. They have a solid kicking game. “They’ve been up and down this year,” Lloyd added. “But they always play hard. They will be tough. With it being their
last game, I’m sure they will play hard.” Lloyd said the Mountaineers had three good days of practice during their open week, and they’ll be putting the finishing touches on their East Burke preparation this week. “The open date has given us six practice days to get ready for East Burke,” he said. “I like the way we’ve been practicing. We seem to be getting better. We need a good game Friday so we can
SOCCER: KMHS opens playoffs at home; opponent TBD From Page 1B Last week’s match began with the Lions controlling the first few minutes of action on their Senior Night. Neither team could get a good look at the opponent’s goal in the first 20 minutes; then, KM’s Luke Rikard took a pass from Josue Molina just inside the box and blasted a nice shot that just sailed wide. The Lions threated on several long throw-ins but were turned away by KM
keeper John Harris IV. KM’s Will Robinson got on the end of a long throw-in by Brandon Quevedo-Johns that was cleared off the Lion goal line by a defender with 10 minutes left in the first half. Robinson also made a fine play as he took a semi-cleared corner kick, beat a Shelby defender and played a super dangerous cross that again was cleared by the Shelby team. Shelby got a good open shot at the KM goal but it

was high and wide with three minutes left in the first period. The Mountaineers almost spoiled the Lions’ Senior Night as Molina had an open look from just inside the box, but it was handled by Shelby keeper Avery Gay. Shelby’s Silas Goss made a long run out of the midfield and almost penetrated the KM defense with 20 minutes to go in regulation. Molina made a super run down the right flank and nearly
connected with Rikard in front of the Shelby goal with 12 minutes remaining. The match would end as it started in regulation as neither team could finish their opportunities. “The match was played pretty wide open as each team tried to counter with the other with some quick passes,” said KM Coach Dan Potter, “but their attack faltered as they neared the final third.” Nolan Raby had a super game in the center-mid-

STATE CHAMPS: Frye and Lutz win state doubles championship From Page 1B day with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Meredith Jones and Grayson Lane of C.B. Aycock High School. In the second round Friday, the KM duo defeated Sophie McGraw and Tanya Slelvia of Terry Sanford 6-4, 6-4. That would prove to be their closest match of the tournament. In the semi-finals match on Saturday morning, Frye and Lutz defeated Ainsley Zubrinksy and Sophie Imhof of Marvin Ridge 6-2, 6-2 to reach the cham-
pionship match against Hallee Haymore and Sarah Nicholson of Union Pines. The KM ladies came out on top 6-3, 6-2. “One of the highlights of the tournament was simply reaching the finals against one half of last year’s championship team (Haymore) from Union Pines,” said Mountaineer coach Rick Henderson. “Her playing partner graduated back in June. Lutz and Frye were just too much for the Union Pines team and just wore them down.” Henderson noted that Frye and Lutz created a
number of first for the KMHS tennis program. “No other KM doubles team had ever reached the finals of the state championship,” he said. “This is the first doubles state championship in men’s or women’s tennis.” Henderson stressed that during the regular season and the conference, regional and state tournaments, Frye and Lutz did not lose a single set. “The tournament director (Bob Owens) of the 3A state championship shared with the fans that he was accustomed to having ju-
niors and seniors winning the championship but was glad to see the tide turn with the younger generation of freshmen and sophomores now winning the championship,” Henderson said. Henderson said many fans have asked if Frye and Lutz would compete in singles or doubles in the future. “I’m proud to say that I’m looking forward to these two great champions putting their talents together for a two peat – and possibly a three peat – as they defend their title next
fumbled on the first play from scrimmage and that provided the PowerCross with an opportunity to win. The Trailblazers defense sustained PowerCross from scoring as time expired. Elijah Reynolds (four tackles, one tackle for loss and a fumble recovery), Andre Pickett (five tackles, three TFL and one forced fumble), Jaden Brooks (four tackles and two TFL), Za’vion Wilson (five tackles) and Carter Simpson (three tackles and one interception) were the Trailblazers’ defensive leaders. The Trailblazers also improved to 7-1 heading into their battle against the 8-0 Rock Hill Cowboys at Myrtle Beach. Darious Wilson’s two touchdowns helped punch the Trailblazers 11U team’s
ticket to the championship for the second year in a row with their victory over the Charlotte Pirates. Jake Lloyd scored on a 33-yard run and Jamari Houston converted on a couple of two point conversions. Brandon McCall (three tackles, one tackle for loss and two interceptions), Dariyon Black (six tackles and one TFL), Chase Miller (four tackles, two TFL and one pass deflection), James Taylor (three tackles and two TFL), Zavian Smith (three tackles and one pass deflection), Sincere Love (four tackles and one TFL), and A.J. Adams (three tackles and one interception) led the defense. The 11U team also improved to 7-1 and will face an undefeated Cowboys team.
their KMHS teammates last night for a second round match against East Rowan in the state team tournament. Kings Mountain was favored in that match, and if the Mountaineers won they would host a third round match Thursday (time and opponent to be announced).

year,” he said. “We just may have a tennis dynasty that we are building here at KMHS, especially with these young and very talented student athletes such as Natalie and Madelynn. “Having Natalie and Madelynn win the first ever state championship in doubles is for sure the highlight of my coaching career,” Henderson added “It was a phenomenal two days of tennis as the KM duo of Lutz and Frye dominated their opponents in Burlington.” The season isn’t over, as Lutz and Frye rejoined
Kings Mountain's James Taylor (4) moves in to make a tackle on a Charlotte running back in Saturday's Southland semi-finals playoff game at John Gamble Stadium. The Trailblazers won to advance to the Southland championship Saturday in Myrtle Beach, SC against the Rock Hill Cowboys.
Kings Mountain’s Natalie Lutz finished 20th out of 78 participants in last week’s state 3A golf tournament in Southern Pines. Lutz shot a 91 on opening day and an 85 on the second day. “She hit the ball very well on both days from tee to green, putting herself in good position for birdies and pars,” said Coach Kevin Moss. “Unfortunately, her putting gave her trouble on both days. She hit the ball as well as the top players, but she just couldn’t get her putts to fall. “She had a great sophomore year,” Moss continued. “She finished as the conference Player of the Year, made all-conference for the second year in a row and qualified for the 3A re-
gional and state tournaments for the second year in a row. “She’s not only successful in golf, tennis and soccer; she also is very successful in the classroom. She balances her time very well with all the activities she has going on with school and her athletics. She not only puts a lot of time practicing and participating in her athletic events, but she also puts forth her best effort in the classroom.” Moss said he was appreciative to Kings Mountain Country Club for its help and support of the KMHS golf program. “John McGinnis and his staff always make sure we have what we need and make room for us to practice and host golf matches,” Moss said.

Automatic Medicare Advantage Enrollment Causes Confusion Dear Savvy Senior, I’ll be 65 in a few months and I recently pre-enrolled in original Medicare. But last week, I received a member card in the mail for a Medicare Advantage plan that I did not enroll in. What’s going on? Medicare is so confusing with all the different choices, and now it seems like I’m getting automatically enrolled in a plan I didn’t even choose. Is this a scam? New to Medicare
care, many people are covered by a commercial or a Medicaid health care plan run by a private health insurance company. These insurers often operate Medicare Advantage plans too.
limited provider networks. If you unknowingly get enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and receive treatment from a doctor who’s not in the network your medical bills may go uncovered.
Under a little-known rule authorized by the federal government, some insurers can shift their beneficiaries who are turning 65 to their own Medicare Advantage plan. It’s a process called “seamless conversion enrollment,” and all it requires is that the insurance company send a letter to the beneficiary explaining the new coverage, which takes effect unless the member opts out within 60 days.
Consumer advocate groups like the Medicare Rights Center is pushing for a change in the rules. They want it set up so beneficiaries must respond to the letter/invitation before they’re enrolled, versus having to opt out of automatic enrollment. In the meantime, here are some things you can do to protect yourself from unrequested Medicare enrollment.
Automatic Enrollment? When Americans first become eligible for Medicare – typically at age 65 – they can choose to enroll either in original Medicare, or they can opt for a Medicare Advantage plan, which is offered by private insurance companies. But some people, like yourself, are being enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan without your knowledge.
The idea is to preserve continuity for those who want to stay with the same company. But some seniors are unaware that they’ve been signed up, in part due to the flood of mail they get around their 65th birthday from insurers marketing their Medicare plans. This makes it easy to miss a notice of seamless conversion or fail to understand the letter.
Self Protection Every one approaching age 65 should carefully read all mail received from your current health insurance provider. If you come across anything suggesting that the insurance company intends to enroll you in a Medicare Advantage plan that you do not wish to have, contact the insurer and decline to be enrolled.

It even might be possible to be retroactively enrolled in Medicare so that out-of-network expenses already incurred are covered.

AB&T announces Distinguished Alumni Earnings increase DePriest honored by GWU - AB&T Financial Corporation (OTC Pink: ABTO), the parent company of Alliance Bank & Trust Company, today reported its third quarter 2016 results. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, net income available to common shareholders was $112,000 or $0.004 per basic and $0.003 per diluted share, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $(235,000) or $(0.007) per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. This $347,000 increase in earnings was largely attributable to increases in net interest income of $123,000 and a reduction in non-interest expense of $241,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Earnings for the first nine months of 2016 increased by $1,221,000 to $335,000 compared to a net loss of $(886,000) for the same period in 2015. Fully diluted earnings per share
for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 were $0.01 compared to $(0.042) for the same period in 2015. Total assets at September 30, 2016 were $147.0 million, an increase of $3.3 million or 2.3% over the $143.7 million at December 31, 2015. Loans totaled $108.7 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $113.2 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $4.5 million. Investment securities available for sale decreased $4.0 million to $14.3 million at September 30, 2016. Total deposits increased to $119.1 million on September 30, 2016, from $115.4 million as of December 31, 2015. Nontime deposits increased from $81.8 million at December 31, 2015 to $88.5 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $6.7 million or 8.2%. Non-performing assets decreased to $4,650,000 at September 30, 2016 from $7,371,000 at December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily driven by a
reduction in other real estate owned of $2,190,000 from $2,559,000 as of December 31, 2015 to $369,000 as of September 30, 2016. Dan Boyd, President and CEO, commented, “Core deposit growth and continued emphasis on margin improvements and operating expense management have allowed us to continue to make significant progress in returning the company to profitability. This improvement in profitability is a result of the dedication and commitment provided by both our staff and board of directors. We hope to continue to attract new customer relationships by leveraging the fact that we are the only locally owned and managed financial institution in the markets we serve.� Alliance Bank & Trust Company, which opened in Gastonia, North Carolina in 2004, operates four North Carolina banking offices two, in Gastonia, Kings Mountain and Shelby.
Duke Energy lowers facilities charge; 1,954 Smart meters purchased Duke Energy lowered its facilities charge rate from 1.22% to 1.04% effective Sept. 1 in an agreement which means yearly savings to the city at $28,380.48, Energy Services Director and Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks reported to city council last Tuesday. “Although the savings are relatively small in the overall concept, any savings is worth the effort,'' said Hendricks in a memorandum to council. Council authorized the mayor to execute the Network Integration Transmission Service agreement. last Hendricks, City Attorney Mickey Corry, and Utility Summit and Progressive Engineering evaluated the agreement and a one-time consultant cost of $2,500 was paid by the city. Another major item of business was the execution of an agreement between the city and Leidos Engineering for the purchase of 1,954 AMI water meters, along with the associated managed services, in the amount of $546,673. This will complete the full implementation of the smart meters. Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks said that when the city first installed smart meters the city was unable to complete all the water meter infrastructure due to cost and over the last few months funds have become available from the state for the purpose of water/waste water infrastructure improvements and the completion of the AMI water meters qualifies for these funds. In other business, city council: .Changed the date of the December council meeting from December 13 to December 20 at 6 p.m. at city hall. .Awarded bid for engineering services for the replacement of the Long Branch Force Main and construction of a new 16-inch water interconnect in a new cross-country R/W parallel to I-85 to Joel Wood and Associates based on evaluation rating. This is a grant funded project. .Adopted ordinance lowering the speed limit from 45 m.p.h to 35 m.p.h. on Waco Road and Walker street on recommendation of Police Chief Melvin Proctor. This
lowered speed limit begins at the Patterson Road intersection and then becomes Walker Street ( where SR 2026 merges off Waco Road) and ending where SR 2026 meets Cansler Street. .Public hearing was set for Nov. 29, 6 p.m., at city hall to consider a request by Danny Phillips to rezone property at 409 Walnut Street from Residential to Conditional Use General Business. .After public hearing, city council approved request by Deborah Bingham of Gastonia to rezone property located at 800 Cleveland Avenue from Neighborhood Business to Conditional Use General Business. The new tenant plans a small auto repair shop with office and three bays to perform light mechanical work for a car lot and public storage for up to 15 cars being prepared for sale. The tenant will
also have tires for sale, will rotate and balance tires, change oil and inspect vehicles. Landscaping improvements are also planned with installation of a security system. .After public hearing, city council approved request by Brian Smith, Lake Wylie, ( Robin Smith Lowery - property owners) to rezone property at 818 Cleveland Avenue from Neighborhood Business to Residential R-10. The rezoning makes an existing residential use a conforming use positively contributing to the residential community that prohibits the unnecessary intrusion of commercial development into a stable residential area. The planning board, in making the recommendation to rezone the property, said such rezoning was in the best interest of the community.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb honored outstanding members of the University family with induction into the GWU Gallery of Distinguished Alumni during 2016 Homecoming activities Oct. 14-15. Six alums were recognized as new members of the prestigious gallery, including longtime journalist, Joseph DePriest of Cramerton, N.C. A Shelby, N.C., native, DePriest enrolled at Gardner-Webb College in 1963 after graduating from Shelby High School. He came as a day student, working after class at the Cleveland Times newspaper, a semi-weekly published in Shelby. He worked there as a “printer’s devil,� melting type into molten metal that formed bars for the linotype machine. Since he wanted to be a journalist, the editor let him write a few stories and two of his earliest were about special guests at Gardner-Webb. As he considered the time he spent on campus, DePriest reflected, “Gardner-Webb – its dedicated teachers and culture of car-
JOE DEPRIEST ing – guided me towards an appreciation of community. It was an invaluable lesson‌one that has lasted a lifetime. I’m honored and flattered that I would be chosen for this honor.� After graduating from GWU in 1965 with an Associate of Arts degree, DePriest entered journalism school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated in 1967. For six months, he was a reporter at The Shelby Star before joining the U.S. Army. While in service, he was a reporter for the Fort Bragg Paraglide newspaper and the U.S. Military Command Vietnam’s MACV Observer based in Saigon. Back in the civilian world, DePriest rejoined
The Shelby Star and spent 20 years there covering community news in the N.C. towns of Rutherfordton, Cliffside, Boiling Springs, Grover, Kings Mountain and Cherryville. DePriest joined the Charlotte Observer in 1990. Among the highlights of his 30 years there were interviews with Cleveland County, N.C., natives and musicians Earl Scruggs and Don Gibson at their Nashville, Tenn., homes. In 1994, the Observer sent DePriest back to Vietnam where he gathered material to produce a special section that won second place in the N.C. Press Association competition. Among the most remarkable people DePriest interviewed was the late Martha Mason of Lattimore, N.C., a polio victim and GWU alumna, who spent more than 60 years in an iron lung. DePriest is married to Shelby native Janet Crawley. He has two step-children, Julie Mills Perry and Fred Goode Mills, as well as four grandchildren.
