Michelle Garey, Earl Scruggs Center Board member, said “Bryon McMurry (banjo) and Billy Cardine (slide guitar and dobro) are best known in our region for their band Acoustic Syndicate, whose unique blend of rock and bluegrass music combined with thought-provoking lyrics is a local sensation. Collectively, Bryon and Billy have performed at Farm Aid, Bonnaroo, Merlefest, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and the Ryman Auditorium, just to name a few. Like Earl Scruggs, whose memory the Earl Scruggs Center honors each day, Bryon and Billy are amazingly talented musicians who have taken their instruments to new heights through innovation and experimentation. Expect to hear some Scruggs classics as well as original, modern arrangements. As the title of one of Billy’s recent albums suggests, the music will be “looking forward as well as looking back.” What a treat! We are so excited to offer this experience at the Earl Scruggs Center! We believe events like this remind us of the rich musical history of our community, while showcasing current talent to celebrate and enjoy. Please join us on November 18!” This standing room only event will provide a social hour and opportunity for guests to meet McMurry and Cardine between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Newgrass Brewing Company and The String Bean are partnering with the Earl Scruggs Center to provide food and beverages for sale during the event. Music begins at 7:00 pm. McMurry, a Cleveland County native, said “The fact that we have in our town an establishment that will forever immortalize the soul and spirit of a true musical visionary who influenced every banjo player from his time forward is truly amazing. It’s something I am proud to be a part of. For

Whatever someone may be, if they can support late term abortion, dismembering babies and selling their body parts, Christians they are not. “Because they have forsaken me ..and have filled this place with the blood of innocents’’ (Jeremiah 19:4). The killing of the innocents was one of Judah’s sins God would not forgive ( Jeremiah 7:7-9). • The forcing of same sex marriage and trans-
genderism as normative, something society must accept, cannot be allowed to prevail. If marriage is whatever society defines it to be, then the man in Florida who sued to officially marry his porn filled computer, has as much of a right to do so as anyone else. Jehovah God has defined marriage (Genesis 2:24/Matthew 19:4-5). I could go on but time and space requires this commentary to come to a close. However, there are many serious issues that would bring God’s judgment which, at a minimum, we may have at least slowed down. Our American society, and
dare I say, those called by God’s name (II Chronicles 7:14), do not really seem concerned or interested in true repentance. But I do hope that everyone will sit back, draw a deep breath, and take a look at what the God of the Bible says. Then, thank Him that we have been given a little space in time to get our children, grandchildren, family and friends rooted and grounded in Christ and His Word. It’s our only real hope and the next administration is no guarantee we will turn things around, but at least we have a chance. We’ve been given “space to repent.” (Revelation 1:21). Let’s not miss it.

Room For over 30 years, the NCTC High School Play Festival has strengthened arts education in schools by bringing curriculum to life, challenging students to do their very best work, and contributing to the development of future audiences for live performing arts. The program was named one of the “Top High School Theatre Festivals” by Stage Directions Magazine, is the largest high school theatre event in the Southeast, and has been replicated in 9 other states. This year, 3,000 students from 90 schools performed 126 plays! Each fall, professional theatres, colleges and high schools host 8 regional Festivals across the state. The top 2 outstanding productions from each of the regional sites advance to the NCTC State High School Play Festival, which will be on November 17-18 at Greensboro College. Winners there go on to represent the state of NC at the Southeastern Theatre Conference’s annual convention, which will be in Lexington, KY in 2017. The atmosphere at the Play Festival is positive and exciting, and students are filled with energy as they
watch shows, learn from their peers and make new theatre friends. Schools travel with theatrical sets and load-in to a 10’x10’ backstage area. Before their 45 minute time limit begins, students eagerly await hearing the starting phrase, “Your time begins NOW!”, to which they respond with an enthusiastic reply. The 45 minute time limit includes setting up, performing the play and clearing the stage. Following their performance, students join their peers in the cheering audience to receive feedback from professional actors and directors with Broadway and Hollywood credits. Actors, designers, writers, directors and teachers are celebrated, and bring home awards that are displayed beside school sports trophies. The NCTC High School Play Festival is made possible with support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources; The Beattie Foundation; Lincoln Financial Group; the Moore County Unrestricted Endowment Fund; and Barbizon Lighting Company.

program, “Women of the Civil War” was presented to Grover Women’s Club. His love of history was probably handed down by his father. The son of Clara Hughes of the Dixon Community and the late turkey farmer and historian Jack Hughes, his first book was “Bivouac of the Dead,’’ an incredible history of more than 2400 U. S. soldiers, a history of the formation of the National Cemetery System. He is widely recognized as the authority on Civil War cemeteries. Mark said he inherited his patience doing the long and tedious hours of research from raising turkeys as a young boy growing up in Newberry, SC on a turkey farm and helping his dad. His first book started when he began looking for the burial site of a greatgreat-great uncle who died in a Union prison camp during the Civil War. Pvt. Greenberry Hughes of the 3rd Confederate Army was interred in the early 1920s in Rock Island, Illinois. Hughes said it took him a year to find his uncle’s grave and that journey, he said, whet his appetite for discovery of other lost soldiers. His great-great grandfather Andrew Jackson Hughes joined the Cleveland Guards, the first Confederate Unit raised in Cleveland County one week after the outbreak of the war. He would spend time as a Prisoner of War and be wounded twice before the end. In 1923, Hughes’ son, Hatcher Hughes, was
Pottery by Susan Mellichamp
awarded the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1924, “Hell Bent for Heaven.” He was the great-great uncle of Mark Hughes. “I’ve been writing for 31 years and love it,’’ said Hughes, who has probably looked through 5,000 pictures for his popular, newest book, “Civil War Handbook” and estimates he has looked at 10,000 pictures before choosing those for the next book out next May. His wife, Pattie, and their daughter, Anna Grace, not only accompanied him on his travels to the National Archives, National Parks, and many, many other history-hunting sites, but Pattie typed all 330 pages for his first book. And they help him with his research. ‘’Bivouac of the Dead” w as dedicated to Pattie McDaniel Hughes. Hughes tells his family that “you make more from a yard sale than I do from my books” but his books are in numerous National Park libraries and book stores around the country. He is a popular speaker on Civil War history. He formerly taught engineering technology at two colleges and two universities. He is a native of Cleveland, Ohio but has been a North Carolinian most of his life and he and his family reside on a farm in the Dixon Community. Some excerpts from “The New Civil War Handbook” published by Savas Beattie LLC, El Dorado Hills, California: Women, most commonly the wives of soldiers, were a common sight in army camps - both as visitors and workers. Before she founded the American Red Cross, Clara Barton nursed wounded Union soldiers on the battlefield. At Antietam, she arrived with
30 lanterns and hundreds of candles so that mortally wounded soldiers would not die in the dark. Rose O’Neal Greenhow is best known as a Confederate spy. She was imprisoned for espionage in 1862 but earned her freedom and resumed her activities on behalf of the Confederacy. During a mission in 1864, she drowned when the rowboat she boarded while attempting to elude the Federal blockade capsized off the North Carolina coast. Not all army nurses were demure. When a Union surgeon questioned her authority, Mary Ann Bell Bickerdyke reportedly replied, “On the authority of Lord God Almighty, have you anything that outranks that?” Called “mother” by grateful men serving with the Western Armies, she cared for the wounded on at least 19 battlefields. Though she graduated from medical school in 1855, Mary Edwards Walker was allowed only to practice as a nurse during the war’s early months. By war’s end, she had risen to army surgeon, the first American woman ever to hold that position. Some women like Kady Brownell were as determined as their husbands to serve in the military. In 1861 after her husband Joined the Union army, Brownell convinced the governor of Rhode Island to let her accompany her husband to Washington, DC. His company, part of the 1st Rhode Island Infantry, took Kady on as its color bearer, a position she held at First Bull Run in July 1861. She and her husband continued serving – and saw more action- until his discharge for wounds received in December 1862.

Mary Todd Lincoln and Varina Howell Davis, both US First Ladies, lost children during the Civil War. Joseph, the young son of Jefferson and Varina Davis, died after a tragic fall in 1864 at the Confederate White House in Richmond, Va. Willie Lincoln, son of Abraham and Mary Lincoln, died after a brief illness in February 1862. Hughes has also written “The Unpublished Roll of Honor” and two volumes of “Confederate Cemeteries.” The first book he ever purchased was William Price’s “The Civil War Handbook.” He was 10 years old and on a visit to the Richmond Battlefield with his family. He spotted a copy in the Park’s gift shop and the tiny volume in a mere 69 pages appealed to him. It was an instant classic, published in 1961, the first year of the nation’s Civil War Centennial celebrations. “I’ve kept my copy of Price’s work close at hand over the years and when I started writing books about Civil War cemeteries in the early 1990s I regularly consulted it as a quick and easy reference. Over the years understanding of the war has changed with modern photographic technology allowing for the restoration and publication of a greater number of Civil War images. And the Internet has opened up countless new opportunities to learn about the past, allowing researchers access to vast amounts of digitized archival and genealogical materials. “The New Civil War Handbook” by Mark Hughes is updated and expanded for a 21st century audience. It’s an entertaining and informative resource.

ELECTION DAY From Page 1A reelection to the NC House and Republican Betsy Harnage of Shelby, a first time candidate, secured nearly 54 percent of the votes in the county, beating Democrat and interim Register of Deeds Debi Mull Harrill Incumbent District Court Judge Meredith Shuford of Lincolnton secured her seat in District 27B, which also includes Cleveland County, narrowly defeating her opponent and a first time candidate from Kings Mountain Justin Brackett. With all 44 precincts between Cleveland and Lincoln counties reporting, Shuford received 36,376 votes and Brackett earned 35,767. The NC Governor’s race between Republican incumbent Pat McCrory and Democratic challenger Roy Cooper is still up for grabs as uncounted provisional ballots remain to be counted. Cleveland County overwhelmingly supported McCrory 62.07% to Cooper’s 36. 27 percent. With nearly 4.7 million votes cast, McCrory trailed Attorney General Cooper by about 5,000 votes. US Senator from North
Carolina Richard Burr, Republican who defeated Democrat Deborah Ross and Donald Trump, who defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton secured victories by comfortable margins. Cooper had declared victory, though the race became too close to call. County boards are expected to decide in the next several days which mailed absentee ballots and provisional ballots cast during early voting or on Election Day Nov. 8 should be added to the race totals. The trailing candidate then could ask for a recount. After a contentious race for the White House, Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States. After the votes were in early last Wednesday morning, Ronnie Whetstine, chair of the Cleveland County Republican Party, said last Tuesday night was a good night for Republicans. Cleveland County also joined the state in support of Republican Donald Trump for US President. The Cleveland County vote was 63.79% Trump; 33.46% Hillary Clinton, Democrat; and Gary John-
son, Libertarian, 1.90%. Thousands of protesters around the country have taken to the streets in protest of Trump’s election over Democrat Hillary Clinton who apparently has won the popular vote. Said Susan Allen, “I am excited to serve another term as Cleveland County Commissioner. I appreciate the confidence the voters have in me. It has been a great last four years with new businesses and expansions within current businesses, robotics in the school systems, new Health Department and Public Shooting Complex. We have seen a great increase in visitors from support in the county for travel and tourism. People are loving coming to Cleveland County. We love them being here.” She added,” Economic development and new jobs to our county will always be a top priority. We need to continue to pay attention to schools, public safety and our service providers. Public Health and our local agriculture are other areas we need to focus on. There will be training and community events to enjoy at the Public Shooting Complex such as the recent women’s firearms
class hosted at the range. We have a great team of commissioners who I consider friends. We work well together with the same common goals of serving our county with forward progressive thinking. I look forward to the next four years of ongoing progress. Thank you Cleveland County for the opportunity.” Said Johnny Hutchins, “I am humbled, blessed and truly thankful for the support I received to re-elect me as one of your county commissioners. It has been an honor to be your voice in county government. I am committed to the citizens and will continue to work diligently to make our county the best it can be. We have worked hard but we have more work to do to accomplish our goals and I am looking forward to working with the current board members to achieve those goals.” Said Hawkins, “I think it’s a statement that the community is supportive of all three county commissioners. That has been shown now by the vote. I appreciate being part of that team, and I will always continue to serve the community.”

Incentive Trusts Can Motivate Your Heirs Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about incentive trusts? I have two adult children that are financial disasters. Before I die, I want to put some type of requirements in place that they will need to follow in order to receive their portion of my estate. Otherwise, they’ll blow it all in the first year. Troubled Parent Dear Parent, If you want to influence your family members even after you’re gone, an incentive trust is definitely an option to consider. Here’s how it works, along with some tips to help you create one. Incentive Trust? An incentive trust is an estate-planning tool designed to help prod your heirs in a direction you desire when you’re no longer around. With an incentive trust, some or all of your assets are passed to your trust when you die rather than directly to your heirs. Your trustee is empowered to distribute funds from the trust
only if and when your beneficiaries do whatever it is you have specified in the trust. For example, an incentive trust might encourage a beneficiary to graduate from college, enter a particular profession, get married or even have children. They could also reward beneficiaries who do charitable work, or supplement the incomes of those who choose low-paying, yet meaningful careers like teaching or social work. Or, they could penalize beneficiaries who don’t work by cutting off or decreasing distributions, or placing restrictions on heirs with addictions by requiring that payments go directly to rehab centers. But be aware that these types of trusts can also have drawbacks. A poorly constructed incentive trust can have a high risk of unintended consequences. For example, if your trust provides a financial incentive for your children to be employed full-time, but one of them gets sick or seriously injured in a car accident and can’t work, they would be punished unfairly.
You also need to know that incentive trusts aren’t cheap. You can expect to pay an attorney $2,500 to $5,000 to draft one. There are also legal limits on what you can do with an incentive trust. While state laws vary, incentive trusts that encourage a beneficiary to join or leave a particular religion, or leave a spouse or not marry at all, can be challenged in court and possibly struck down. How To Make One To create a solid incentive trust that accomplishes what you envision, tell your estate-planning attorney that you want to include precise instructions that clearly spells out your wishes, but you also want to include language granting your trustee the right to use his or her discretion and that the trustee’s decisions should be final and binding. This allows your trustee to make common sense rulings, which will reduce or eliminate the chances of unintended and unfair consequences.
It also makes it very difficult for beneficiaries to successfully challenge the trust or trustee in court. When a trust grants final decision-making authority to its trustee, it becomes almost impossible for beneficiaries to successfully argue that this trustee is not correctly implementing the trust’s terms. The key is to select a trustee who’s smart enough to interpret your intent and has sufficient backbone to stand up to beneficiaries when necessary. You also need to select a successor trustee too if your first choice can no longer serve. Fees paid to a trustee vary widely depending on the state’s fee schedules, the size and complexity of the trust, and conditions laid out in the trust.

NC 3AA PLAYOFFS
Ledford here Friday for first round Two teams with identical records and similar offenses and defenses will square off Friday at John Gamble Stadium in the first round of the state 3AA football playoffs. The Mountaineers host a Thomasville Ledford team that also runs a spread offense that has a strong running attack and a quarterback who can throw and run. Normally, teams with eight wins and a #1 conference seed, usually draw a team with four or five victories but with the overall strength in the 3AA ranks this year there are only three
teams in the West and Midwest that didn’t finish above .500. “They’re a very solid team,” Lloyd says of the Panthers who finished second to Southern Guilford in their conference with a 5-1 conference and 8-3 overall mark. Kings Mountain tied with Crest and Burns for second in the SMAC with a 6-2 conference and 8-3 overall mark. But, because both of those schools went to the 3A division, KM was considered the #1 3AA team in the SMAC and earned a #3 West seed. Lloyd says Ledford will be the
“second best” team the Mountaineers have played this year. “Definitely, Shelby’s the best team we’ve played,” he said, “but they’re the next best. They have a lot of seniors and they have good size, good speed and are well-coached. This is definitely a tough draw.” Lloyd is especially impressed with the Panthers’ senior quarterback, Landon Varner, who is a dual threat. He is a good passer on both short patterns and deep, and he’s always subject See PLAYOFFS, Page 2B

Mountaineer basketball teams open November 22 Boys eye another big year
KM girls should be better too
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers lost four of five starters off last year’s SMAC championship basketball team, but if you think KM is in a rebuilding stage think again. Reloading may be the best word to describe them. “Somebody’s been looking after us,” says Coach Grayson Pierce. “We have some transfers who are really going to help us.” Two of those transfers – Malik Phillips and Shun Allison – are still involved in football and that’s fine with Coach Pierce. The other, Adrian Delk, has been practicing with the Mountaineers since day one and is more impressive every day. “All three of them are going to really help us,” Pierce said. Pierce says Phillips, who came to KM from Crest, is a “good ball handler, shooter and defensive player” and Allison, a transfer from Bessemer City, is a natural leader. “He’s a true point guard,” Pierce noted. “We look for him to make the big
Excitement is in the air for Kings Mountain High girls basketball. Veteran coach Adam Cooke has four of his five starting players back from last year’s team which was just the sixth in recent history to post a winning season. The 14-12 record was good enough for a tie for third in the South Mountain Athletic Conference and a berth in the state 3A playoffs. The Lady Mountaineers lost their opening round playoff game but expect to go deeper this year. Kings Mountain returns its leading scorer, sophomore Hannah Clark, whose 450 points represented one of the highest first-year totals in many years. Other veterans who either started or saw considerable playing time include sophomore guard Sarah Drennan, juniors Leeasia Rhodes who will be a three-year starter, and Jada Roberts, and seniors Kelsey Farmer, Diamond Wesley, Chaya Hunter, Ka’Myiah
Sophomore Zeke Littlejohn is one of many talented players on the Mountaineer basketball team, which hopes to repeat as SMAC champions. play for somebody else.” Delk is a junior transfer from Piedmont Charter and has the potential to be one of the best players to come out of Kings Mountain. “He is as good as I’ve ever seen on the high school level,” Pierce said. “He already has a large number of colleges looking at him. He is a pure scorer.” In just two years of high school ball, he has already topped 1,000 points in scoring. “He is a pure scorer,”
Pierce said. “He can shoot from deep or mid-range. There are college coaches in the gym every day looking at him.” With those three joining last year’s lone returning starter and Army signee Josh Helton, the Mountaineers will stand a good chance of being just as good as last year’s team which won 20 games and went three rounds in the state playoffs. See BOYS BB, Page 2B
Sophomore guard Hannah Clark, who had a 35-point game included in her 450 point total last year, joins three other returning starters on the KMHS girls basketball team this season. Pressley and Jess McClure. Joining the team are senior Shelena Mauldin, a 5-11 power forward, who is a transfer from Spartanburg, SC, and freshman Essence Houser who was a standout on last year’s team at Kings Mountain Middle School. “We expect both of them to be big contributors,” Cooke said. “Both of them did real good in our scrimmage last week. “We look for a big season,” he added. “Last year we were able to have a good
year in a very tough conference. We expect to be better this year.” Pressley, Hunter, and Rhodes, who are strong inside and out, are the other returning starters. Drennan, Wesley and Farmer got a lot of playing time off the bench and started on occasion. Cooke said KM will be a guard-oriented team. “I’m proud of how quick we are,” he said.

lieves they will make Kings Mountain proud. “We’re missing five from the football team and will be starting a lot of younger people,” Short says. “We’re real young but that’s okay. We have one senior, Darian McClain, that I know will start when he joins the team from football, but young is okay. That’s what’s got me so excited, because I really think we can compete for the 3A number one seed from our conference. Obviously, we’d love to win the conference outright but it would be nice to win the 3A side.” Short expects 2A teams Chase and RS Central to be the teams to beat. Chase has
a defending state champion, and as a team the Trojans went to the state finals last year. “They will be tough to deal with,” Short said, “but we look forward to it.” Short said when the football players join the team they will be about 30 strong. There will be a lot of competition for the 14 weight classes. Right now, some of the wrestlers looking good include 170-pound senior Austin Mosley, 145-pound junior Quentin Zanders, 182-pound junior Cedric Morgan, 220-pound freshman Xavier Brown, 106-pound freshman Koby Rikard, and 138-pound sophomore Thai Tuttanon.
Assisting Short now are former Mountaineer Harley Price and former West Lincoln wrestler Steale Barber, who was a multiple state qualifier for a team that is always one of the best 2A teams in the state. Barber has organized numerous club wrestling programs in the area, and Short hopes in the future he can get one started in Kings Mountain. “Most of the schools that compete for state championships have club wrestling,” Short said. Short said once football season is over, former Mountaineer head coach Kenny Bridges will also join the staff.

taker, Trey Crawford, Chris Ruffalo, Tyriq Howard, Anthony Husky, Dylan Mullins, Lucas Perez and Chase Ellis.
BOYS BB: Kings Mountain boys eye another big year “Josh will be our leader and the focal point of whatever we accomplish,” said Pierce. “As he goes, that’s the way the team will go and we expect to go very well. We’re looking good. We will have to fine tune some things when the football players come out. They’ll add a lot of good athletes and depth.” Also playing a big role in the Mountaineers success will be sophomore Zeke Littlejohn, Dylan Thrift, Kavin Mosley, Nolan Raby, Landry Crawford, Eli Paysour, Jadien Adams, Mike
Toms, Jerdon Pressley, and Isiah Grier. “Zeke Littlejohn did very well as a freshman phenom last year,” noted Pierce. “He has grown a lot and has gotten a lot better. He will be a key part to our success. “Dylan Thrift is 6-5, and he’s a trash man. He can clean up everything.” Repeating as conference champions will be tough, Pierce noted, because the SMAC will feature a lot of outstanding teams “East Rutherford is going to be the team that gives us the most trouble,” he said. “They have a lot of people back and Josh Searcy transferred over from RS Cen-
tral. They’ll be very good. “Shelby and Crest will also be good. They always have good athletes and are well-coached. This is a tough conference and there won’t be any easy games. You have to play every night. We think we will be right in the thick of the conference race and make a deep run in the playoffs.” The Mountaineers open their season November 22 against private school power Charlotte Christian. “They’re a perennial powerhouse and the home of (NBA MVP) Steph Curry,” Pierce noted. “Hopefully, we will not have our football players then; that would
mean they won their first round playoff game. But we still believe we can compete with them.” The Mountaineers open conference play on November 29 at East Rutherford. This will be Pierce’s sixth season at the helm, and the team’s 20 wins last season puts his record here at 68-60. Last year’s conference championship was KM’s first since 2003-04 and the first 20-win season in 12 years. “We hope to have a lot more 20 win seasons,” he said. “This team is going to be very exciting to watch. We definitely have a chance to be very good.”
GIRLS BB: KM girls return 4 starters to 2016-17 squad From Page 1B run and press and try to spread the court and get the guards in the open. I like our chances.” Cooke expects RS Central, East Burke and East Rutherford – all 2A teams
– to be just as strong as they always are. “RS Central went to the state semifinals in 2A last year, East Burke went to the fourth round and has everybody back, and East Rutherford is always good. We will have to work hard, but
we tied for third last year and if we play up to our potential we can finish in the top three.” Kings Mountain opens its season November 22 at private school power Charlotte Christian and will face Forestview in a nonconfer-
ence game on December 1. “We were 10-6 in the conference last year and want to improve on that,” Cooke said.
PLAYOFFS: Mountaineers host Ledford Friday From Page 1B to pull the ball down and run for big yardage. “He’s their main weapon,” said Lloyd. “He can do it all kinds of ways. He’s going to Elon on a football scholarship. He’s a very good player.” Senior Billy Caulder is a good runner and receiver. Sophomore David Wetherington is a strong runner and senior Ingram McAllister and sophomore Reich Coleman are impressive receivers. Kings Mountain’s running attack features senior Darian McClain and freshman Ricaylen Mack. Quar-
terback Kaylon Wade is also capable of picking up good yardage on the ground and has some good receivers in Kavin Mosley, Shun Allison, Malik Phillips, Madisyn Bolin, JT Cash and others. With all the weapons on both sides of the field, the game could boil down to which team controls the clock and avoids penalties and turnovers. “We’re very similar,” Lloyd says. “We’re pretty much identical. They run the ball a little more than they throw it, just like us.” Lloyd said the key for the Mountaineers may be to get off to a good start on
both sides of the ball. “We can’t let the quarterback beat us with his legs,” he said. “He runs a lot of mis-direction. We’ve got to be smart, play hard and tackle.” Lloyd said early projections had the Panthers and Mountaineers facing off, so the team was able to get in some work against their scheme last week. They’ll be going out strong three days this week to finish their preparation. “We’re a carbon copy of each other,” he said. “It could come down to who wants it the most and plays the best.” Lloyd and many others
feel like the 3AA bracket this year is much tougher than the 3A bracket. “You’re going to be playing somebody that’s really good every week,” he said. “There won’t be any easy games. If we get past Ledford we’ll probably be going to Weddington next week. “We’d like to go out there Friday and get this one,” he said. “It won’t be easy. They have 29 seniors, so they’re an ‘old’ team. It’s going to be a fight, for sure. We need to just go out there and get on a roll.” Admission to the game is $7.00. Only state passes will be accepted.

Upstate Battlefield Group sets meeting in Gaffney
GOOD PLACE TO HIKE - Hikers are taking to the trails in Hike NC, a state-wide project. Closer to home, Kings Mountain area citizens can enjoy the Gateway Trail on S. Battleground Avenue.
The Upstate Battlefield Preservation Group will hold an initial interest meeting on Monday, December 5, from 4-6 p.m. at the City of Gaffney Visitor’s Center and Art Gallery, 210 West Frederick Street, Gaffney, SC 29340. The meeting is for Revolutionary War enthusiasts and members of the public interested in preserving Revolutionary War Battlefields in the Upstate, including Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Musgrove’s Mill battlefields. The meeting is free and open to the public. The meeting will be hosted by the Spartanburg Area Conservancy, a local nonprofit, with support from the American Battlefield Protection Program. The
Conservancy requests that anyone interested in attending the meeting complete a free registration at https:// revwarpreservationmeeting. eventbrite.com. To register by phone call 864-948-0000. “The Upstate’s Revolutionary War history is not only one of our richest cultural resources,” notes SPACE executive director Andrew Waters, “it is also one of the foundations of our tourism industry, an economic driver for our region. Across the country land conservancies are partnering with the National Park Service, tourism groups, landowners, and local businesses to preserve these national treasures and enhance the visitor experience.” Anyone interested in
this effort is encouraged to contact Andrew Waters at 864-948-0000 or andrew@ spartanburgconservation. org. The Spartanburg Area Conservancy is the local land trust that works to protect and preserve natural areas of ecological, historical, and aesthetic value to enhance the Spartanburg region’s quality of life. SPACE owns and maintains three public nature preserves in the Spartanburg Community: the Cottonwood Trail, the Walter Preserve at Glendale Shoals, and the Chinquapin Trail. For more information please call 864-948-0000. Or e-mail andrew@spartanburgconservation.org.
Trump - What Americans Can Do
Hikers taking to the trails Even as the changing fall scenery gives us picture-perfect views, many area people are still reluctant to explore the outdoors. Some people don’t venture out to North Carolina’s parks, forests and trails because they don’t know about all that the state has to offer. Closer to home, Kings Mountain people can enjoy the Gatway Trail, S. Battleground Avenue. Others are worried they aren’t in good enough shape to take on nature, or that they might get lost by themselves out in the woods. This fall, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross) and the North Carolina State Parks system launched Hike NC!, a new community initiative that will take the hesitation out of hiking and encourage North Carolinians to get moving. Hike NC! is a series of more than 60 guided hikes in North Carolina’s
state parks and nature preserves, led by the state’s top hiking and nature experts. A five mile two-hour hike is planned at nearby Crowders Mountain State Park at Boulder Access, Ridgeline Trail, at 10 a.m. on Nov. 15. Hike NC! will help make hiking easier and more approachable for North Carolinians, regardless of their age, fitness level or hiking experience. Each hike will be led by a trained guide or park ranger. The guided hikes will make it easier for individuals and families to: • Try hiking for the first time • Enjoy time in nature with friends, family and pets • Experience North Carolina’s nature areas, beautiful scenery and colors of fall · Learn about the plants and animals in the state parks and nature preserves “As a North Carolina

company, it’s our mission to improve the health and well-being of our customers and communities,” said Kathy Higgins, Blue Cross’ vice president of Corporate Affairs. “This fall, Hike NC! will help North Carolinians connect with their communities and state by making it easier to get outside and be active with friends and family. We’re removing all the barriers that prevent people from hiking so that now the only thing that should stop people is the beautiful scenery they’ll experience.” In addition to helping North Carolinians get active outdoors, Hike NC! is also part of Blue Cross’ efforts to promote health and well-being among North Carolinians. People who are physically active are at lower risk for chronic conditions and diseases, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Hillary's group known as America's "deplorables". These are the every day working people who are tired of working hard without much or no advancement. Paying more of their paycheck to support Americans sitting at home on welfare. Subsidizing millions of people flooding into our country with their hands out while our own Veterans are sleeping on America's streets or standing in line for healthcare. This is the group who are tired of breaking their necks to send their children to college, buy health insurance they can no longer afford while working harder and harder to stay afloat. All the while it seems that the government wants to make it harder and harder. People found a way to get to the polls. Their vote certainly made history in electing Trump. We will now watch Trump and a Republican Congress for the next four years. I do believe most Americans are hoping and praying for good things to come. We want national security, prosperity, good healthcare and a working, safe infrastructure. We also want to maintain our American freedoms, like voting. Because if Trump and Congress lets us down we must do what Americans can do and that is to vote them out in four years.

Friends of Crowders Mountain Inc. has received a $4,500 grant from the Community Foundation of Gaston County to support efforts to make the Crowders Mountain State Park experience more fulfilling to visitors who may have physical challenges and visual impairments. The grant will be matched by exhibit repair funds already allocated. The Sparrow Springs Visitor Center exhibit hall will be retrofitted to enable a guided experience for youth, elderly and others to achieve a similar connection to the Park as that experienced by the more than 700,000 hikers/campers/climbers who visit the Park each year. This experience will be a hands-on educational tour of erosion and rock formations and provide a closer connection to the monadnocks viewed by anyone traveling through the area. The Friends of Crowders Mountain, Inc. is greatly appreciative for the support of The Community Foundation of Gaston County for its support in this effort. This new display will serve those who visit the park for many years to come. The Community Foundation awards annual grants through a competitive application and review process. "If you have not visited the Crowders Mountain State Park Visitor Center, wait no longer. With the recent emphasis on the Go Outside Gaston campaign, attendance at Crowders Mountain is up to over 800,000 per year. The Community Foundation has awarded a grant

Letter To Editor Hi everyone, I need your help and support for one of our own. Jeff Putnam or "Coach Put" to the thousands of athletes that he coached, mentored or served as a role model to over the years, is having to face one of the toughest battles life can throw at you and needs our support. Coach Put recently found out that he has renal cancer. He is currently scheduled to have his kidney removed at end of November and receive further treatment after that. His wife, Sharon, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2009, and has undergone 14 surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. Thankfully, Sharon is now cancer free, but the Putnam family has accumulated a lot of medical expenses over the past several years. With the inability to work, his ongoing living expenses, and the cost of his medical expenses, a very heavy burden has been placed on him. Through his stint in optimist football, youth baseball, and high school football, Coach Put has made an unforgettable mark on Kings Mountain youth sport programs and the athletes who were lucky enough to have him
as a coach. Coach Put has always been a caring and giving person, and most of the time his acts of kindness are done without a lot of recognition. It's time to show Coach Put how much he means to us and that he is not alone in this fight! I am doing a little fundraiser for he and his family with T-Shirt sales or donations. All proceeds will go directly to his medical and living expenses that will be accumulated through his battle with Renal Cancer. Please share this with your friends, family and colleagues. Even if they don’t know Coach Put, if you care, so will they. Anyone who is willing to donate or buy a T-Shirt we will have shirts for sale at the 1st round football game (11/18/16). Also, we will have shirts for sale Thursday (11/17/16) at the Brinkley Fieldhouse, on KMHS campus, from 5:30-6:30. If you cannot make one of these events and want to donate or buy a T-shirt please email Matt Bridges at mdbridges@clevelandcountyschools.org. Short sleeve t-shirts will be $15 and long sleeve t-shirt will be $20. We are pre-ordering a good amount, but if sizes

If you or someone you know is thinking about quitting, there is support. Smokers can talk to their healthcare providers about quitting and review the cessation options that are available through their health insurance. They can also take advantage of the free quitting support service, QuitlineNC at 1-800-QUITNOW(1-800-784-8669) or go to www.QuitlineNC.com.
on City streets, sidewalks, or businesses where State Law allows. Yet, Bessemer City Council recognizes that tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure are leading preventable causes of illness and premature death in North Carolina and the nation. So help our City with a heart be Tobacco and Smoke Free. For more information about the ordinance visit www.bessemercity.com.
Bessemer City is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its citizens, youth and the visiting public. As of August 8th, the Bessemer City Council passed a new ordinance that would prohibit the use of tobacco products and e-cigs in all City owned buildings, City owned vehicles, and City parks. However, the ordinance does not prohibit smoking
