Bill Willis Grover Mayor GROVER – Bill Willis, former mayor pro tem and councilman, was elected mayor last Tuesday as a light turnout of voters went to the polls. Willis, who received 76% Bill Willis of the votes cast, will be sworn-in along with four council members on Dec. 7 at the 6 p.m. meeting of the board. Mayor J. D. Ledford, who did not seek reelection, served the unexpired term of former mayor Robbie
Opponents of a proposed casino-hotel complex say last week’s local election results will breathe new life into their efforts to stop the Catawba Indian project. “It’s a whole new game now,” said Adam Forcade, who along with his wife Cynthia founded the grassroots Kings Mountain Awareness Group in 2013. “We want to lobby the council to pass a resolution reversing (its earlier support) of the casino project. We believe we have a majority right now (in city council).” Longtime Mayor Rick Murphrey and a vocal pro-
during his campaign had offered tacit support for the casino while also stating he was uncertain of the long term effects a casino would bring. Mayor-elect Neisler, though, said this week that he’s uncertain how much influence the city council will have on the casino decision. “I’m not so sure,” said Neisler, who has thrown his support behind the casino for what he called its economic incentives. “The majority of people in Kings Mountain understand that the casino project and its fate are in the hands of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.” He also said that BIA has plans to send representatives to the Kings Mountain area
to conduct a public hearing about the proposed gaming complex. “That’s the more appropriate action, I think,” Neisler said, adding that he would be amenable to someone requesting casino-related items be put on the agenda for a vote. “But again I’m only one voice.” In the fall of 2013, city council members penned a letter of support for the project. It was signed by all members except At-large member Keith Miller, who has continued to speak out publicly against the casino. Earlier this year, Ward 3 council member Tommy Hawkins rescinded his support for the project, saying See Casino’s Fate, Page 7A
Warm reception for Neisler, Rhodes after win DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Scott Neisler is returning to a familiar job after defeating Mayor Rick Murphrey in city elections last week by a vote tally of 810 to 620. For many observers, the outcome was about making a change at City Hall, where Murphrey has held the town’s top elected office since 2000. Longtime city council member Rick Moore also saw defeat – to political newcomer Jay Rhodes in a race that was far from close with Rhodes captur-
ing nearly 62 percent of the vote. Incumbents Howard Shipp (Ward 1), Rodney Gordon (Ward 4) Scott Neisler and Keith Miller (At-large) held on to their respective seats. “I feel a sense of real renewal,” the 60-year-old Neisler said this week. “What I would like to see is city government assisting in the ideas and projects that
can make things better.” The incoming mayor said one of the first things he wants to Jay Rhodes do is organize a retreat for members of the city council and city manager Marilyn Sellers. Neisler and Rhodes are set to be sworn in Dec. 15. “I think it’s a good idea to get together and break bread,” said Neisler who served as mayor from 1996
to 1999 after a turn as a city council member. “The idea is to find out what the expectations are for all of us – to really get on the same page.” And in the days after the votes in the election were counted, Neisler was quick to extend an olive leaf to the outgoing Murphrey. The mayor-elect said the city should be proud of Murphrey’s hard work and contributions in his last 15 years as mayor. He also said he’s eager to find a way for Murphrey to continue doing See RECEPTION, Page 7A

Sides, who moved out of the city limits, and then was reelected to a full term. Willis was opposed by Kristy Wyllys whose husband Todd Wyllys was elected to fill an unexpired term. Two write-in candidates received 42 percent of the vote. Patrick Shannon, with 53 votes, and Angelia Tuft Early, with 51 votes, were re-elected to four year terms on the board. There were 22 write-ins. Ledford chairs the committee planning a Christmas tree lighting and afternoon events following the Christmas parade on Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. There will be entertainment for children all afternoon with the tree-lighting at 5:30 p.m. followed by hot chocolate and cookies. The tree will be decorated in the lot adjacent to town hall where the bouncy house, photos with Santa, and other events will be scheduled.
ponent of the gaming complex was ousted at the polls last Tuesday. He Adam Forcade was defeated by Scott Neisler, whose support for the casino has been relatively much softer. Also losing in Tuesday’s vote was Ward 5 council member Rick Moore. Moore was a staunch supporter of the project, which proponents say would deliver much-needed jobs to the area, as well as enrich city coffers through its role of a large utilities customer. Moore lost to political newcomer Jay Rhodes, who
The Cleveland County Board of Education will vote on Nov. 23 whether to continue opening its meetings with a moment of silence or begin doing so with an invocation. The panel has heard vocal proponents of both options during a number of recent meetings. The public participation on the matter was expected to be so robust at the Oct. 26 meeting that officials moved the
venue to the Shelby Middle School gymnasium. There, more than a dozen speakers took the podium, the majority of which said they were in favor or having an invocation before the meetings. The board held a work session meeting Monday, and discussion of a new and tightly worded proposal that would allow for prayer before meetings was held, but no action was taken. At an early meeting in October, the board moved to keep the moment of silence by a See PRAYER POLICY, Page7A

Insurance open enrollment period is underway through Dec. 15 RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin reminds North Carolinians who purchase individual health insurance coverage to take advantage of the open enrollment period to compare plans and choose coverage. The open enrollment period for 2016 coverage begins on Nov. 1, 2015, and ends Jan. 31, 2016. In order to have coverage effective Jan. 1, 2016, you must enroll by Dec.15. “I encourage people to take action during the open enrollment period,” Goodwin said. “Look at your options and decide if it’s in your best interest to keep the plan you had last year, switch to another plan or change insurance companies.” If you do not get health
coverage through your employer or Medicare, you can buy coverage in the individual market on the federal exchange at www.healthcare. gov. The exchange also determines if you are eligible for any subsidies, cost-sharing reductions or coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. If you purchased individual health insurance last year, you will be auto-enrolled in the same or similar plan unless you select a different plan. However, you should still verify your information, confirm your subsidy eligibility and look at the available policies. There may be a new option that is less expensive or better suits your needs. When choosing a plan, it’s also important to check to
see which medical providers (physicians, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, etc.) you may visit to receive covered care. You may also purchase individual coverage off the exchange through an agent or broker or directly from an insurance company, but you will not be eligible for subsidies. If you have questions about health insurance, contact the North Carolina Department of Insurance at 855-408-1212 or learn more at www.ncdoi.com. For questions related directly to enrollment through the federal exchange, contact 1-800-318-2596 or visit https://www.healthcare.gov/ contact-us/.

Rep. Kelly Hastings to Seek Re-election
National Hospice Month November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and hospices across the county, including Hospice at Wendover in Shelby and Testa Family Hospice in Kings Mountain, are reaching out to raise awareness about the highest quality care for all people coping with life-limiting illness. As Bob Chadwick, a hospice volunteer at Hospice Cleveland County noted, “Someone asked why I spend time volunteering for hospice. Because hospice was there for my family at a difficult time in our lives, and because hospice professionals provide the highest quality of medical care when people need it most. Why do I volunteer for hospice? It must be love.” “Every year, nearly 1.6 million people living with life-limiting illness receive care from hospice and palliative care providers in this country,'' said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “These highly-trained professionals ensure that patients and families find dignity, respect, and love during life's most difficult journey.” Visit the hospice w ebsite at www.hospicecares.cc/"www. hospicecares.cc or call 704487-4877 to learn more about hospice, not a place but a care program which provides pain management, symptom control, psyschosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their families when a cure is not possible.

Hastings also supports “Build a Better Boulevard,” which will improve traffic flow along the vital 74 corridor. Hastings also mentioned that he and many of his colleagues moved the North Carolina Rural Center to the Department of Commerce. “Cleveland County already received a lot of assistance from the former Rural Center, but Gaston County was basically one of the 15 excluded counties, except for in limited circumstances; now, all of Gaston and Cleveland counties are eligible for water

and sewer infrastructure assistance and other types of assistance related to job creation and retention,” said Hastings. Kelly nominated Philip Byers, the former Rutherford County sheriff, to serve on the UNC Board of Governors. “It was very satisfying to have the members of the House trust me enough to elect my nominee to the UNC Board of Governors,” Kelly said. During his first three terms, Kelly served as a chairman of the Energy Independence and Alternative Fuels Committee, the Homeland Security, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee and the joint House and Senate Committee on Civilian Credit for Military Training and State Adjutant General Selection Criteria. Kelly currently serves as a chairman of the Finance Committee and on the Alcoholic Beverage Control, Education – Universities, Health, Insurance, Judiciary III, Public Utilities, Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House, University Board of Governors Nominating and Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations committees. Hastings is a graduate of Appalachian State University and earned a graduate certificate in teaching from UNCC. He received an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps and Reserve. Hastings grew up in Cleveland County; he and his family live in Gaston County.

Shoebox collection begins Nov. 16
Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ I’m back at home after an extended time away hunting and preparing for some outdoor events. I had better not plan on staying around too long; if I get GARY MILLER too comfy I’ll miss a bunch of bucks on the move. The weather has been very inconsistent. I have hunted on days where the temperatures have soared to the mid-seventies and days when the skies have dumped two inches of rain. I have endured the cold and forty mile per hour winds. And all of this mostly in the same tree stand. The deer have also been inconsistent. I have witnessed bucks chasing does and also times that it seemed more like September than late October and November. All of these variables just emphasize once again that even though hunting has advanced in enormous ways, we are still subject to things that we cannot change and circumstances that we cannot understand. For instance, why did that nice buck not come the way that all the others came? Why did he turn around at that one particular time? Why did he stop at the one place where I had no shooting lane? No hunting invention will ever be able to answer these questions. It is just the way things are. It happens to the veteran and the novice. Their reactions, however, will be different. In our lives preparation is good. We do it in many ways. We buy insurance, save, plan, and even try to predict what might be around the corner. But if you have been around long enough, you know there are some things that you just cannot prepare for enough. There are some things that hit us so hard or come at us so fast that we are caught unaware. There are also some things that no matter how hard we try, we cannot do anything about. It is at those times that we must be able to lean on something that is greater than the things that have caught us unaware. It is not necessarily a time to learn, or listen, but simply to lean. I have found, there is only One that is greater than anything this world has at its disposal. He is the Lord. When we don’t understand, He does. When we can’t see the way clear, He can. When we don’t have the ability, He does. And when we are shaken and unsure, He is solid and unmovable. Don’t neglect planning and preparation. These will serve you well. But in your planning don’t forget to make plans for the things that you cannot change and the circumstance you cannot understand. Plan on leaning and leave the things you cannot understand to the One who holds the whole world in His hands. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

CHERRYVILLE, NC – Representative Kelly Hastings plans to seek re-election to the North Carolina House of Representatives. “If the people of Cleveland and Gaston counties decide to hire me again, I plan to continue to strive to be effective, accountable and trustworthy; enhancing economic security, protecting the hardworking taxpayers, fostering student learning and improving public health and safety are still some of my top priorities,” Hastings said. In his first three terms, Hastings, along with the help of many colleagues, sponsored major bills and resolutions that garnered state and national attention. “We cracked down on habitual drunk drivers, fought for life and traditional marriage, enhanced Second Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens, helped protect innocent and vulnerable children, increased penalties for school personnel who engage in inappropriate relationships with students and sought to prevent agitators from disrupting the funerals of fallen heroes; it was an honor to sponsor these and other bills and resolutions,” said Hastings. “During my first term, I asked the then-Rules chairman and now speaker, Tim Moore, to be my mentor; with his help, I’ve been fortunate to sponsor or co-sponsor many important bills and resolutions,” said Hastings. Behind the scenes, Hastings quietly used his position as a chairman of the

■ MEDITATION
Life’s A Beach Careful now. I know the other phrase and picture that just flashed through some of your minds. But stay with me. You know that as you read this, I am enjoying the next chapter JAMES of my life in Aruba. A LOCHRIDGE, JR. four minute stroll from 29G, Kamay, Noord, Aruba our house puts me on the sugar white sand of the Caribbean beach. The water is refreshing and crystal clear. The sun can be hot, but we time our trips to the beach to avoid its burning rays. The trade winds blow incessantly and late afternoon visits provide relative safety from sunburns and gorgeous sunset views. I can wade into the water with a bag of frozen peas or some bread and be immediately swarmed by fish looking for a
handout. Windsurfers take advantage of the breeze and put on a mesmerizing show. Children play and adults relax. It is a great place to be. And my brother would be more than happy to rent you a room and the use of the rest of the house for an embarrassingly cheap price given the going rates at the hotels along the beach. (check out vrbo.com/492648) But soak in the picture I just presented and then look with me at Jesus’ words in John 10:10. “The thief does not come except to kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.’’ Unfortunately, the scene I have painted above can be marred by so many different ways. Weather can be unpredictable. Accidents do happen. And though it has never happened to me, they say that one can actually become bored with that scenario. Life can behave in much the same manner. Things can be ideal one moment and turn chaotic the next. Jesus acknowledged that
Satan does his best to insure the latter. I think sometimes he even helps to make things good so the effect is felt all the greater when he yanks the rug out from under our feet. Satan is always thinking of himself and never about our well being. On the other hand, Jesus wants only the best for all people. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise as some count slackness, but is long suffering ( patient) toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) God created a perfect world and then when we sinned and messed it up, He provided a cure through the death, burial and resurrection of His Son in our place to pay the sin debt we owed in full. In Romans 8:28, we are told, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” I am told by those who can read and translate the Greek, that a better rendering of these words might be,”But in all things, in every situation, God is working for good for His children ( those who have put their faith
and trust in Jesus and seek to daily walk in obedience to His Word.”) In Psalm 23, David acknowledged that at times we walk through valleys, even the valley of the shadow of death. But following up on the use of the term shadow, a harmless, if sinister, apparition, he goes on to remind us that God’s children need fear no evil, for the Shepherd is ever present with His tools of protection and provision and aid to comfort His own. They tell me there are now sharks along the western shore of Aruba and I have indeed heard of no attacks. I have no reason to be afraid of swimming along the beach near our home. But I must admit to casting a wary eye around on occasion just to be on the safe side. And though Satan may cast an occasional shadow in my direction and play the theme song from “Jaws” in my ear, I have chosen to focus on the Giver of L ife, abundant and eternal and to depend on Him for my days on life’s beach. You’’’ have to excuse me now. I think it’s time to get wet and watch the sun go down. Won’t you join me?

PRAYER POLICY: before school board Nov. 23 From Page 1A
7-2 vote. That vote sparked concern among some in the community. The 700-word proposed policy reads, in part, “the invocation shall not be an agenda item for the meeting, and the invocation is not part of the official business of the Board.” The policy appears to take pains to make the policy as inclusive as possible, reading, in part: “No member or employee of the Board or any other person in attendance at the meeting shall be required to take part in or participate in any way in any invocation that is offered to the Board.” Part of the policy proposal offered a detailed method to be followed in choosing those who give an invocation, including local media to announce upcom-
ing open dates. “To ensure that the invocational speakers are selected from among a wide pool of the County’s religious leaders or leaders of organized assemblies, the invocational speakers shall be selected according to the following procedure: Within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this policy, the Superintendent shall post a notice inviting all religious congregations and organized assemblies that periodically meet within the County for the purpose of worshiping or discussing their religious perspectives to identify a speaker to deliver an invocation before a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. The notice shall be published at least annually in all newspapers of general circulation in Cleveland
County as well as on the Cleveland County Board of Education website.” The policy proposal ends with a recognition that the board serves a variety of faiths: “The Board recognizes that Cleveland County is home to people of a variety of religious faiths and beliefs, therefore, this policy is not intended, and shall not be implemented or construed in any way, to affiliate the Board with, nor express the Board’s preference for, any faith or religious denomination.” Other public meetings in Cleveland County do open with prayer. The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, Shelby City Council and Kings Mountain City Council have an invocation at the beginning of meetings.
SCHOOL BOARD From Page 1A total vote) edged out Robert Queen, Hoyle, Darius Griffin and George Falls in a close race for the fifth and final spot. A Board of Elections-sanctioned canvas later this week will ratify the unofficial results. A swearing in for the five is set for Nov. 14. Top vote-getters (won seat): Jo Boggs (4,869); Roger Harris (3,598); Shearra B. Miller (3,530); Richard Hooker, Jr. (3,079); Jeff Jones (2,944). Following the top five vote-getters (and not elected) were Robert Queen (2,797); Jerry D. Hoyle (2,791); Darius Griffin (2,718); George Falls (2,462); Yvette D. Grant (1,891). “I am a retired teacher and a product of Cleveland County schools,” said Jones, a Crest High School graduate who went on to teach history for three decades at Shelby High School. “My campaign was about my roots here in Cleveland County.” After high school, Jones
attended UNC-Chapel Hill, graduating in 1985. In recent years, he earned a masters degree in history from Appalachian State University. He retired from Cleveland County Schools in 2014 before working as a parttime instructor at Cleveland Community College, where he teaches U.S. history. The successful campaign for the school board was his first run at public office. “I’m very passionate about public education,” Jones said last week. “We have to be careful that we budget for things that are truly important for our school children. I think it’s important to be really focused on the whole child. Education is not about a number or series of numbers – it’s about the unique relationship between teacher and student.” Jones joins Boggs, a previous school board member who has also served on the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. “I want to thank the citizens of Cleveland County for your vote of confidence,”

Boggs said in a statement. “I am looking forward to once again serving the people of this great county and look forward to working with the other members of the Board of Education as we strive to work together to make Cleveland County Schools the best school system in North Carolina.” Incumbent Shearra Miller, who currently serves as the panel’s vice chair, extended her thanks to voters following her successful campaign and took a moment to welcome new members to the board. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to continue serving the people of Cleveland County through my service on the Board of Education,” Miller said. “I look forward to working with Mrs. Boggs again on the Board. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Jeff Jones and I look forward to working with him as well. I will definitely miss Jerry Hoyle. He has been a valuable member of the board with great insight, knowledge and integrity.”

CASINO’S FATE From Page 1A that after studying the matter more carefully he had come to believe that regional casinos do more harm than good to local economies. “We are now riding high on a wave of optimism and accomplishment,” Forcade said, adding that members of his group felt that Murphrey had long exerted too much influence over the thinking of individual council members. “We identified a serious issue that would, no doubt, change the character of our community in a negative way. We felt our elected officials were misrepresenting the issue. We made every attempt to educate them and change their
minds. We provided critical information we felt they had not examined carefully or considered.” Early in the group’s history, it found allegiance with the Christian Action League, which helped it recruit, develop, and maintain members who would educate the community about predatory gambling and fight against its harms. “All but one of the incumbents was in favor of the casino,” said Mark Creech, the executive director of the Christian Action League.“The group’s influence was instrumental in replacing Mayor Rick Murphrey, who held the seat for 15 years. Candidate Scott
Neisler, who has a more moderate position on the casino, was elected instead.” The Kings Mountain City Council has never formally acted on any matter regarding the casino – and it may never do so. That’s because the question of putting the land in trust for use by the S.C.-based Catawba Indian tribe has been a federal matter from the beginning. In the fall of 2013, the tribe petitioned the Bureau of Indian Affairs to put a parcel of land on Dixon School Rd. in trust. That application is still pending. Neither city, county or state officials have a direct say in the decision, according to gaming-law experts who have spoken on the issue.
RECEPTION: for Neisler, Rhodes after win From Page 1A what Neisler said he’s very good at: promoting the city and economic development recruitment. “I really believe the citizens felt comfortable with either him or me (in the race),” Neisler said. “He was on the ground floor with NTE (the energy plant that broke ground over the summer). Frankly, I think two heads are better than one. His talent with economic development is undeniable … and I would be foolish not to want to work with someone who has his expertise.” Neisler said he owes his victory to campaigning hard for the job. In the weeks leading up to the election, he set out to more than a dozen Kings Mountain restaurants where he set up a table and displayed a campaign sign. “Basically, I just listened to people,” Neisler said. “I welcomed people to ask questions about my ideas and my style of leadership. I think it was valuable because it got me out to places I don’t necessarily travel to very often.” For Neisler, pursuing the mayor’s office was about serving the community he has lived in virtually his entire life. But he also is interested in charting a “bigger, better” future for Kings Mountain, which he says is still struggling to pull itself out of a recession that has engulfed much of the country since 2008. “We’re succeeding as a city – with the utilities we sell and all the new industry we have a great revenue stream,” he said. “But I want to see that surplus go back to the citizens, too, in terms of lowered utility rates and better offerings for the people who have chosen to make this their home. I want City Hall to be an incubator for those kind of ideas.” For Murphrey, who came to symbolize the city after seven terms in office, he is looking ahead and wishing his city well. “I’m enjoyed my tenure,” said Murphrey, who also served on city council before running for mayor in 1999. “I wish the city best as it continues to move forward. We’ve
been progressive as far as jobs and quality of life in the 21 years I’ve worked in city.” For At-large member Keith Miller, Murphrey’s ouster means that although he’s losing a mayor, he won’t be losing a friend and mentor. “Mayor Murphrey often tells people Kings Mountain is a better place because of you,” Miller said. “Well there's no question that Kings Mountain is a better place because of Mayor Murphrey. Mayor Moss was a mentor to me for many years and Mayor Murphrey has been and will continue to be a mentor also.” Newcomer with long history of community involvement For Jay Rhodes, winning a seat on the city council last week was an exciting moment. But the 66-year-old former coach, banker and fundraiser is no stranger to making things happen in the community he lives in. Rhodes chaired a campaign that raised funds to build a Hospice House in Kings Mountain. He worked on the capital campaigns that led to the construction of the Life Enrichment Center and the H.L. Patrick Senior Center. As a younger man, he spearheaded the founding of Limestone College’s athletic department in the 1970s. He also serves on the board of the Kings Mountain Hall of Fame and sits on an advisory board for the Kings Mountain Hospital while serving as a deacon in the First Baptist Church. It was around Labor Day that he began to work methodically to build support for his campaign. He reached out to about 15 couples and tasked them with spreading the word about his candidacy within their neighborhoods. He also personally canvassed the neighborhoods of Ward 5. “I wanted to make it clear that I didn’t have an agenda, and that I still don’t,” Rhodes said. “Running and gaining the support I needed was very humbling, really, and I couldn’t have done it without a great team.” Upon succeeding the long-serving Moore, Rhodes sounds a conciliatory tone. “Rick has been a great servant for our community,” he said last week. “I just think
the baton has passed.” Rhodes has lived in Kings Mountain since 1990, when the Maryland native’s banking career brought him here to manage what was then Carolina State Bank. (It was later acquired by Fifth Third Bank). ‘Very positive’ Ward 4 council member Rodney Gordon, who scored a victory last week at the polls, says he and other council members are taking the shakeup at city hall in stride. “Scott’s been a friend of mine for a long time,” Gordon said. “It’s not like a stranger coming in. Since the election, he’s talked to a lot of people – everyone’s very positive about it. Everyone’s very optimistic. I think he’ll do a good job.” Gordon said chief among issues facing the city is economic development. “The casino – if it does come – is one area we’ll have to stay focused on since it’s in our ETJ (Extra Territorial Jurisdiction).” He also wants to join others – including Neisler – at drawing a bead on making downtown lively again. “People are tired of lip service – revitalization’s a worn out term,” Gordon said. “People want action.” For Miller’s part, he said he’s eager to get to work with the incoming Neisler. “I would like to express how excited I am about being able to work with Mayor Neisler,” he said last week. “His enthusiastic and loving spirit is contagious.” For others around town, there is a sense of a new start, a fresh look at the future. “I’m very optimistic that the town is going to benefit from him,” said Bobby Maner, an insurance agent for B.F. Maner Agency Inc. on York Rd. “He thinks Scott is more of a team player, and I think Scott will give everyone an equal shot.” When the city council convenes Dec. 15 and new officers take their seats, the panel will elect a mayor pro tem and vote to retain current city attorney, now held by Mickey Corry, or hire a new one.

95-year-old Bill Yelton saw plenty of action in WWII
shoot a shell that weighed nearly 100 pounds. In 1943, Yelton got a chance to practice his craft. “We were shipped to North Africa to fight the Germans,” Yelton said. “We landed at Casablanca on Christmas Eve 1943. I was in several battles in Tunisia and Algiers including the Kassarine Pass where we filled the road with burning German tanks from our artillery.” After running the Germans out of North Africa, the Allies chased them to Sicily and Yelton's unit, the 87th Field Artillery, 9th Division, was in it hot and heavy.

Bill Yelton, 94, grew up in Cleveland and Rutherford counties and lived in Mt. Holly for over 30 years. He took part in six major WWII battles. On his chest are the Purple Heart and Normandy Invasion medals he received for his service. (photo by Alan Hodge/The BannerNews) “I was proud to do my part,” he said. “It was rough,
but thousands of us had to go.”

This is Bill Yelton as a young soldier in WWII.
That hit saw Yelton spend time in a field hospital that flooded, then a “real” hospital in Paris where he was still recovering when the war ended in May 1945. In 1951, Yelton moved to Mt. Holly and retired from Duke Power after 38 years. But his WWII experience had a big effect on him – a self described “country boy” who had grown up on farms and mill villages in Cleveland County. He decided to make a pilgrimage. “In 2000 I went to Germany,” He said. “It looked like no one had ever fired a shot. The German people were very nice. It seemed odd we tore their towns up and then helped fix them back.” Veteran's Day is just around the corner, so how does Yelton feel about being part of what has been called the “Greatest Generation?”

“There were a lot of nights I didn't think I would see daylight.” That's one way 94-yearold Bill Yelton described his experience fighting in six major battles across North Africa, Sicily, France, and Germany in World War II. His service earned him several medals including the Purple Heart as well as a load of memories that have lasted a lifetime. Born in 1920 in Kings Mtn., Yelton grew up in several other Cleveland and Rutherford County communities including Mooresboro and Cliffside before moving to Mt. Holly where he lived for several decades. He's currently a resident of Brookdale New Hope in Gastonia. In 1939, Yelton made a life-changing decision. “I was in school in Mooresboro but decided to join the army,” he said. “I was just 18-years-old and had no idea that soon a war would start.” Yelton's military job was in the field artillery. He aimed a 155mm cannon that could
“We beat them there and then we were sent to England for training to get ready for the Normandy Invasion,” said Yelton. June 6, 1944 came and Yelton, along with tens of thousands of other guys, hit the D-Day shore. “The navy and air force had shelled and bombed the German pillboxes and beach,” he said. “Those holes came in handy for cover,” Yelton said. “Our artillery had to be brought by barge so I went in with just a rifle.” As the weeks and months following D-Day went on, Yelton and his gun crew took part in action in places like St. Mere Eglise, Cherbourg, and St. Lo, in France, until reaching the Rhine River on the German border. “Thousands of us crossed on the Remagen Bridge before the German's bombed it,” he said. Once in Germany, Yelton and his comrades also often came under air attack. “One day we heard their planes coming,” he said. “I ran for my hole but it was too late. I was wounded by a bomb.”

NC 3A PLAYOFFS
North Henderson at KM Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will do something they haven’t done in five years Friday night at 7:30. They will host a NCHSAA first round playoff game. And, it will be against another strong mountain team, the North Henderson Knights of the Western Athletic 2A/3A Conference. Admission is $7. No passes or Gold Passes will be accepted. The last time the Mountaineers hosted a playoff game was
in 2010 when Asheville Erwin came to town and handed the Mountaineers a 61-40 whipping. Kings Mountain’s wins over mountain teams have been few and far between in the past several years. Last year, they fell to West Henderson 41-27. The Knights come to town with a 7-4 overall record and a 4-3 mark in the WAC. The team is very talented and impressive in all three phases of the game. They’ve had two quarterbacks in the backfield at the same time over the past two

weeks, when they defeated Brevard and Smoky Mountain. Freshman Kalin Ensley, who is 6-2, is a dangerous runner and passer, and so is senior Trevor Craft, a 6-1, 200-pounder who has accounted for over 2,000 yards rushing and passing with 22 touchdowns. “They’re a very solid team,” says Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “They run a spread, sometimes with split backs and out of a shotgun. They have a lot of playmakers. “But they’re also very good on defense,” he added. “They

JVs beat E. Burke 48-0 to win South Mountain 2A/3A Kings Mountain High’s JVs rolled over East Burke 48-0 Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium. The win was the eighth in a row for the Mountaineers and their seventh straight against conference opponents. Their only loss in what turned out to be an 8-1 season was to private school power Charlotte Christian in the season opener. All of the Mountaineers’ wins See CHAMPS, Page 4B
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers pitched their second straight shutout and ninth win of the season to close out their SMAC schedule with a 34-0 victory Friday night at East Burke. The win in a battle for third place in the SMAC and a first round home game in the NCHSAA playoffs was settled pretty quickly as the Mountaineers rolled to three touchdowns in the second quarter to build a 27-0 halftime lead. The Mountaineers got an outstanding effort from all of their players, and because of the huge lead most of the team got playing time. “I felt very good about the way we played,” noted head coach Greg Lloyd. “It was one of the better games we’ve played this year. I was pleased with all three phases of the game – offense, defense and special teams. I liked our aggressiveness and the way we tackled and blocked.” The run and pass blocking was outstanding. The Mountaineers had a balanced attack. J’Air McCluney ran for 99 yards on seven carries, including a touchdown; and Darian McClain carried 13 times for 67 yards and a TD. Quarterback Darren Burns hit 10-of-12 passes for 194 yards. He threw touchdown passes to Kavin Mosley and Jake Merchant, and scored once himself on a quarterback sneak. “I was really pleased with the way Darian and J’Air ran the ball, and the way our defense and special teams played,” Lloyd said. “It was an all-around great team win.”

(Photo by KM Herald) An important statistic was that the Mountaineer offense didn’t turn the ball over a single time, while the defense stopped several potential scoring drives by the Cavaliers with three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. On their first possession, the Cavaliers used a strong running game and three key pass completions to drive for a first down
at the KM 39. But two tackles by KM linebacker Bryan Sanders and a pass breakup by Merchant forced the Cavaliers to punt from the 36. The ball rolled dead on the six-yard line, from which point a two-yard gain up the middle by McClain and an 11-yard pass from Burns to Madisyn Bolin resulted in a See KM/EAST BURKE, Page 3B

Kings Mountain’s Weston Harmon battles a Central Davidson player for control of the ball in Wednesday’s NCHSAA playoff game.
KM kickers get first playoff win in 23 years Kings Mountain’s men’s soccer team defeated Central Davidson 2-1 Wednesday night at John Gamble Stadium in the first round of the state 3A playoffs. It was their first playoff win in 23 years. Their second round game at North Forsyth on Friday ended with the same score; however, this time the Mountaineers were on the losing end. The Mountaineers came out with a quick start in both contests. Luke Rikard rattled the crossbar with just eight minutes gone in the first half against Central Davidson, but the Mountaineers couldn’t follow with a put back. Brian Lysek finally put the Mountaineers on the board as he took a through
pass from Josia Schneider and beat two defenders before slotting the ball to the far corner of the net at the 20 minute mark. Even though the Mountaineers controlled possession in the first half, it was the visitors that nearly tied the score right before half. The Kings Mountain keeper robbed the Spartan striker as he snuffed out a breakaway attempt with just over a minute remaining in the period. The visitors were not going down without a fight and they came out dominating play for the first 10 minutes of the second half. They hit the crossbar twice but neither would go in. The Mountaineers clung the slightest of leads until the five minute mark when a Spartan attacker was tripped
up in the box. They made their penalty kick to tie the score at 1-all with just over five minutes left in regulation. The game appeared to be heading for overtime, but KM’s Hunter Champion was fouled in the penalty box with just over 2:30 to play. Lysek faked to the keeper’s right and hurried the shot to the keeper’s left for the game winner. The Mountaineers struck quickly again at North Forsyth when Rikard scored a goal in the third minute of play. But, that would be all the offense could get on the night as North Forsyth fired 16 shots a goal, and hit two of them to eliminate the Mountaineers and advance to the third round for the first time in their history.
PLAYOFFS: Mounties host first playoff game since 2010 against North Henderson Friday From Page 1B run a 4-3 and are very aggressive. They come off the ball very well. Their defense has played well all year. We will have to play very well to win this game.” Lloyd said the Mountaineer defense will have to be aware that, with Craft now at running back, the Knights could be throwing some halfback passes. “I think they probably
moved him because he’s their best runner and he can get more carries,” Lloyd said. “But there’s always the possibility of halfback passes. The freshman (Ensley) is tall and pretty shifty. We’ll have to get some pressure on him.” Lloyd is pleased with the way the Mountaineer defense has progressed this year. The team is giving up an average of just over two touchdowns a game and has
three shutouts. “We will have to keep playing well,” he said. “We have to tackle well and can’t give up big plays. We have to do what we’ve been doing and we’ll have a good chance to move on.” The winner of Friday’s game will face the winner of the Freedom-Patton game next Friday. Freedom, the #1 seeded team in the 3A West, defeated Patton 50-0 last week.
KM/EAST BURKE: Mounties post third shut out, ninth win of season From Page 1B first down at the 19. On the next play, Burns and Mosley hooked up on an 81-yard bomb down the East Burke sidelines for a 6-0 lead. On East Burke’s next possession, Marquiz Camp intercepted a pass at the 46, and seven plays later McCluney broke off right tackle and rambled 26 yards for a TD. Micah Randall’s PAT made it 13-0. East Burke was driving again but two incomplete passes resulted in a loss of downs at the KM 13. Pass receptions by Mosley and Bolin got the offense going, and the hard running of McClain and McCluney put the EB defense on its heels. Burns’ one-yard sneak at the 3:05 mark of the second quarter, and another Randall PAT, pushed the lead to 20-0. The Cavaliers were able to cross midfield again, but with 1:31 left in the half KM’s JT Cash intercepted a pass at the KM 40 and
returned it to the EB 32. A Burns to Chance Frederick screen pass resulted in a 23-yard gain to the seven yard line, from which point McClain took it in with 28 seconds left in the half for a 27-0 lead. A fair catch interference penalty against KM on the second half kickoff resulted in East Burke taking possession on KM’s 39 yard line, and an unsportsmanlike conduct call on KM helped the Cavs get a first down at the 15. But the KM defense said “that’s enough,” and sacked the EB quarterback on two straight plays to bring up a third and 17. Frederick intercepted a pass and returned it to the KM 30, and a 31-yard burst by McCluney and a 39-yard TD reception by Merchant closed out the scoring. Kings Mountain’s second unit offense, led by the running of Shaun Grier, drove to the East Burke 15 before three straight carries for negative yards resulted in a loss of downs at the 25.
On EB’s first play, KM’s Quay Smith recovered a fumble and the Mountaineers were able to get to the EB 14 before a holding call took them out of scoring position. East Burke had one last chance to score after driving from their own 32 to the KM three for a first and goal with eight seconds left. But their hopes for a TD were dashed again when they fumbled and KM’s Bryan Sanders recovered it as the game ended. Coach Lloyd was extremely pleased with his team’s showing, and happy to see the Mountaineers earn a home game for the playoffs. “We knew East Burke had a good team, and some good players,” he said. “We knew they had been putting points on the scoreboard. I couldn’t be happier with our effort. I thought it was the best we’ve blocked all year. We executed good and were real aggressive. We made very few mistakes.”

Kings Mountain’s defense chases East Burke runner in Thursday’s JV football game at John Gamble Stadium.
CHAMPS: JVs win South Mountain 2A/3A Conference championship From Page 1B came by two touchdowns or more. The Mountaineers wasted little time getting started Thursday. After Sabien Beam recovered an East Burke fumble on the game’s opening possession, the Mountaineers covered 79 yards in 12 plays to score on a three-yard quarterback keeper by Kaylon Wade. Runs of 14 yards by Tyler Osborne and 13 by Quenten Zanders, and receptions of 17 yards by Zanders and 13 yards by John Harmon Melton highlighted the drive. The Mountaineers pulled an onside kick after the score, and Qua Brooks recovered it at the East 47. After an incomplete pass, Wade covered the entire
distance, and then passed to Holden Turner for a twopoint conversion and a 14-0 lead. The Mountaineers pulled another onside kick, and Reece Rhinehardt recovered at the 50. Eight plays later, Wade passed nine yards to Mike Toms for the TD and a 20-0 lead with 8:33 still left in the half. Along the way, the Mountaineers got receptions of 10 yards by Stefan Chisholm, 11 by Osborne and 15 by Toms. After the Mountaineer defense stopped the Cavaliers on downs at the KM 40, the Mountaineers scored in just five plays on a 37yard run by Zanders to go into halftime with a 26-0 lead. Once again, East Burke fumbled and Toms fell on
it at the East 32. Wade hit Rhinehardt on a screen that covered 18 yards, then found Toms in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard TD pass and a 32-0 lead. Melton took over at quarterback and the Mountaineers marched 80 yards, sparked by a 54-yard catch and run by Seth Bishop for a first down at the EB 26. Melton went 16 yards on a keeper, and after Brooks picked up eight yards to the two, Melton kept the ball off the left side for the touchdown. Brooks ran the twopoint conversion to make the score 40-0. Brooks rambled 50 yards, and again scored a two-point conversion, to make the score 48-0 with 9:44 left and cause a “mercy rule” running clock for the rest of the game.
Two Elite teams advance to championship games The KM Elite 9-10 and 11-12 year-old football teams advanced to the Southland Conference championship with wins in semi-finals play Saturday at Clover, SC. The championship is slated for Saturday at Clover High School, with the 9-10 year olds playing at 5:30 and the 11-12s at 6:45. In action last week, the 11-12s defeated the Rock Hill Cowboys 8-6. Kobe Paysour scored on a 12-yard run with 4:15 remaining, and Marquis Adams ran a two-point conversion. Paysour led the rushing with 94 yards. Adams and Derek Wilson also stood out of offense. The offensive linemen (K.J. Smith, Clay Barber, Ty Ledbetter, Dylan Rush and Marlo Allen) provided superb blocking on the TD drive. Ty Ledbetter led the Elite with five tackles, two tackles for loss and two sacks. Chance Cannon had
six tackles and two for loss; Kobe Paysour four tackles and two pass deflections, and Isaiah Tate four tackles and one pass deflection. The Trailblazers improved to 8-1. In the 9-10 game, the KM JVs shutout Statesville 6-0. Robert Kendrick’s 68yard kickoff return for a touchdown opened the second half stood and led the Trailblazers to their second straight trip to the conference finals. Dariyon Black led KM with seven tackles, three TFL and a forced fumble. A.J. Richardson had four tackles, three TFL and a forced fumble. James Taylor contributed six tackles and one TFL. Chase Miller had three tackles, one fumble recovery and a pass deflection; and Brandon McCall had three tackles and an interception. The JVs also take an 8-1 record into the finals. In 5-6 year old action, the Elite fell to Clover 18-

Senior-Friendly Furniture Aids for Mobility Challenged Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, I am interested in purchasing a recliner that lifts and lowers off the ground, or some other type of senior-friendly furniture that can help my elderly father. He’s arthritic and overweight and struggles mightily with getting up from most of the cushioned furniture in the house. What can you recommend? Need a Boost Dear Need, The task of sitting down and/or getting up from soft cushioned furniture is a problem for many seniors who struggle with excessive weight, arthritis or other mobility issues. Here are some different product solutions that can help. Lift Recliners One of the most popular types of cushioned furniture on the market today for mobility challenged seniors is an electric recliner lift chair. While they look just like regular recliners, powerlift recliners come with a built-in motor that raises and lowers the entire chair, which makes sitting down and getting up much easier.
With literally dozens of different types and styles of lift recliners to choose from, here are a few key points that can help you select a good fit for your dad. Chair size: The recliner needs to fit the person sitting in it, so your dad’s height and weight will determine the size of chair he needs. Reclining options: Aside from the lifting system, the degree in which the chair reclines is your choice too. Most lift recliners are sold as either two-position, three-position or infinite-position lift chairs. The two-position chairs recline only to about 45 degrees, which makes them ideal for watching TV or reading. But if your dad wants to nap, he’ll probably want a three-position or infinite-position chair that reclines almost completely horizontally. Style and features: You’ll also need to choose the type of fabric, color and back style you want the chair to be, or if you want any extra features like built-in heating or massage elements, or a wall hugging chair which is great if you’re tight on space. While there are many companies that make lift recliners – such as MedLift, NexIdea, Catnapper, Berkline,
Franklin and La-z-boy – Pride Mobility (pridemobility.com) and Golden Technologies (goldentech.com) have been around the longest and have some of the best reputations. With prices typically ranging between $600 and $2,000, you can find lift recliners at many medical supply stores and online. You’ll also be happy to know that Medicare provides some help purchasing a lift chair. They cover the lift mechanism portion, which equates to around $300 towards your purchase. Risedale Chairs If powerlift recliners don’t appeal to your dad, another option to consider is a Risedale chair. These are openlegged, wing back chairs that are different from lift recliners because only the seat cushion lifts instead of the whole chair. Sold by Carex Health Brands (carex.com), the Risedale costs $725. Furniture Adapters If you’re looking for something less expensive, or if your dad doesn’t want different furniture, there are also a number of assistive products that can
be added to his current furniture that can help too, like the Stander CouchCane or EZ Stand-N-Go (see stander. com). These products provide support handles that make sitting down and standing up a little easier, and they both work on couches and recliners. Available online at Amazon.com, the CouchCanes sell for around $110, and the EZ Stand-NGo costs $129. Another way to make your dad’s furniture more accessible is by increasing its height with furniture risers. These typically range from 2 to 5 inches in height, are made of heavy-duty plastic or wood, and are inserted under the base of the legs or supports of his furniture. Costs typically range from a few dollars up to $50 or more and can be purchased at retail stores like Walmart and Target, or online at Amazon.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
