Santa Claus is coming to town! It’s almost here! This year’s annual Christmas Parade is scheduled for 3 p.m. this Saturday in downtown Kings Mountain. The parade will continue tradition and form on East Gold Street at Mountain Rest Cemetery, proceed to West Gold, turn right on Battleground Avenue downtown, right at the overhead bridge onto King Street and disband in the area of Cleveland Avenue. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) will provide a full color guard
with representatives dressed in Revolutionary War period costumes. The Grand Marshal this year will be the recently formed Battle of Kings Mountain Chapter of the SAR. “We’re excited about this new chapter forming here in Kings Mountain,” said Mayor Rick Murphrey. “This group plays a big part, every year, in celebrating the October 7th anniversary of the Battle, bringing thousands of visitors our way!” Murphrey added. They will be joined by the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This patriotic opening to the parade will signal the start of an array of entries representing many local churches, service groups, first responders and dance groups. The Kings Mountain High School Marching Band, directed by Gil Doggett, will fill the streets with the sound of holiday tunes.

Keeter was honored as Teacher of the Year twice and as Star teacher. “I have a great love for students and everywhere I go I get a hug from a former student,” she said this week. Anna Grace Hughes, parade chairman, said the Grover woman is honored not only for her previous long service to students, but for her volunteer work with ‘Good news,’ a school publication, and by

other songs. You can look for several new features in this year’s show, which runs though Jan. 4. The Colored Cosmic Ribbon Tree is a giant pixel-screen display located next to the Joy Theater. “We’re expanding the show in that direction,” said Scott Neisler, who’s aiding the city and technician Donnie Beard in putting on the popular show. “It’s a really cool idea, because it can been used over and over
again and refreshed with new programs.” Also adding to the fun this Christmas is a laser light show that will play against some of the large building fronts on Railroad Ave. “We’re trying to stay cutting edge,” Neisler said during several days of testing the light show and working out the technical and aesthetic kinks. McAdenville’s (Christmas light show) is very traditional. We’re cutting edge.”
Beard, who put on the dazzling show at his Gold Run residence for several years before moving it downtown, has this year added a large snowman to the lighted objects that blink and pulsate to the carefully chosen music, which plays over Let It Snow Radio (101.5 FM). And there’s also a machine that spews out artificial snow. (But don’t try tasting it – organizers say See LIGHT SHOW, Page 8
Council says: Police are pro-active ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
Could the chaos and social unrest in Ferguson, Missouri happen here and if it did do police have policies in place? The question was posed by councilman Curtis Presley at Tuesday night's city council meeting. “We hate what happened in Missouri but it's important for Kings Mountain and cities across
the country to take note of everything that has happened in Ferguson in order to prevent similar situations. We care about our community," he added. Councilman Keith Miller was quick to reply that police have worked hard the last 10 years on being proactive in this community. He commended police for positive community relations. “We
are very blessed to have a police force that has worked hard to try and stay close to the people." Later in the meeting Presley asked if any special events were planned for kids in the community during the holidays. Mayor pro tem Mike Butler suggested that a good project would be helping him and cemetery workers light the candles on graves at
Mountain Rest Cemetery on Dec. 24. “Tell everybody to come at 4 p.m. and help light the luminaries." Councilman Tommy Hawkins and Mayor Rick Murphrey took the occasion to comment on Rep. Tim Moore's nomination by Republicans as the upcoming Speaker of the House of See POLICE, Page 7

Festival of Lights at GWU
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. — Gardner-Webb University invites the community to campus to celebrate the Christmas season with the annual Festival of Lights. This year’s festive holiday event is free and set for Thursday, Dec. 4, beginning at 7 p.m. in Dover Theatre, located in the Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center.

as a formal kickoff to the Christmas season,” Etter explained. The event will open with a concert featuring a variety of wind and string ensembles, including a choir, woodwinds, several brass groups, a string trio, and a larger ensemble that includes all of the performers. The Christmas story will be read by GWU President Dr. Frank Bonner, and scriptures will be shared by Dr. Tracy Jessup, GWU Vice President for Christian Life and Service and Senior Minister to the University. Festival participants will also sing Christmas carols. Following the concert, the community will walk
to the campus Quad for the official lighting of the University Christmas tree. Luminaries will then guide the public to the Tucker Student Center for refreshments and live music from several ensembles.

Quote of the week
“Speak when you are angry and you’ll make the best speech you’ll ever regret”
–Laurence J. Peter
Sights and sounds of Christmas everywhere in downtown KM The sights and sounds of Christmas are everywhere in Kings Mountain this week. Downtown Kings Mountain Lib Stewart Managing Editor is the place to be Saturday. There’s something for everybody. After dark you can’t miss the fantastic Fantasy Light Show, a Christmas present again this year from the City of Kings Mountain and the Tourism Development Authority working with super technicians to present choreographed lights that blink, twinkle and sparkle in time with Christmas music––over 400,000 lights in the trees and on the buildings along S. Railroad Avenue. Read the full story on the front page of today’s Herald. Saturday events start at 9 a.m. with a YMCA Jingle Bell Rockin’ Run, always a highlight of the holiday season, kicks off at First Baptist
Church parking lot and culminates at the church. Read all about it in today’s Herald. Then while you are in the city visit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum (the old post office building across from Kings Mountain Baptist Church) for the “Toys, Games and Train” exhibit. Kids and adults love the train. The museum will be open from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. for “Spirit of Christmas Past” and after the parade a candlelight tour of the Historic Barber and Cornwell Houses just below the Museum is planned. In neighboring Grover the 96-unit Christmas parade will begin at 11 a.m. Kings Mountain special events director Ellis Noell says the 3 p.m. Kings Mountain Christmas parade will be bigger and better than ever, so plan to spend the day in town, visit some of the shops and dine in the restaurants while you’re waiting for the light show to go on about 5:30 p.m. And top off your Saturday eve-
ning activities by traveling down S. Battleground Avenue, turn on Margrace Road which will take you to the Midpines Community where thousands of lights will sparkle at the home of Grady and Katie Costner, a ‘Little McAdenville’. The schedule of lights at the Costner home are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:30-9 p .m. and on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays from 5:30-10 p.m. Santa Claus will also be on hand to give candy canes to children. Other events on tap will include the arrival of Santa’s Firetruck Express at the Historical Museum on Saturday, Dec. 13, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. On Christmas Eve luminaries will glow on every grave at Mountain Rest Cemetery from 5:30 p.m. until midnight. City workers are looking for volunteers to help light the candles beginning at 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Pastor Ron Caulder, Pastor of Eastside Baptist Church and President of the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association, would like to thank everyone who came out on a very rainy Sunday evening to attend the annual Community Thanksgiving Service which was held on November 23rd. Special thanks is in order for our host church, East Gold Street Wesleyan Church in Kings Mountain, their pastor, staff, praise team, and hostess committee along with the Kings Revue from Kings Mountain High School under the direction of Ms. Sarah Fulton. Also, to Rev. Ron Hawkins from the Grover Church of God who brought an inspiring thanksgiving message. An offering for the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry was received following the report given by Ms. Iris Frady, the Crisis Ministry’s director. Earlier in the service, Pastor Caulder and Pastor Marty Ramey, Secretary/Treasurer of the ministerial association, presented Rev. James T. Lochridge, Jr. a plaque honoring his devoted service for the past several years as President of the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association. Again, thanks to everyone who made this truly a service of Thanksgiving to honor our Heavenly Father who has so blessed us with His goodness and grace! Ron Caulder
To the Editor: The Kings Mountain Woman’s Club is grateful to all who attended the Breakfast with Santa on Nov. 22. Two hundred sixty-eight children and parents enjoyed breakfast at festive tables and had pictures made with Santa. Children also shopped at the Elves Closet in private for family, friends and teachers. We appreciate the support of everyone. LOIS BLANTON Club reporter To the Editor: There is a blind spot as people come south on Bethlehem Road right before Grandpa’s Store. All Kings Mountain citizens hopefully will support a warning signal on the north side of Grandpa’s Store on Bethlehem Road between Highway 216 and Highway 74. We just saw a young mother killed at the store right before the holidays. I personally don’t want to see another tragedy like this ever happen again. My heart goes out to her immediate family. A warning signal would be a simple task for the N.C. Department of Transportation. Please contact our state representatives about the necessity of a warning signal on this section of road in our community. God bless everyone over the holidays. BILL CROMER Kings Mountain

Thanksgiving – Shine like the Stars Surely all of us have something to give thanks for. We all have problems, aches and things that we desire. All of us have felt like we have missed out on something. Everybody has a regret or two. Most of have grumbled a bit about most everything. In the midst of it all Glenn Mollette Guest Editorial surely we can fine some way to give thanks. A thankful spirit eases the spirit. Surely it’s good for blood pressure ,chest pains, anxiety and a better night’s sleep. We all have worries. We stress out about life even if the problems are small. While many have big problems others’ problems are small in comparison. Thousands of Americans are homeless. We are having temperatures in the low 20’s in November. Many homeless people who I have personally talked to deal with not knowing where they will sleep or what they will eat. Many have small tents, or even try to sleep on park benches. I can’t imagine. About 20 years ago I was only about 12 months into buying a house and lost my job. The house payment was hefty plus I had two car payments, a very sick wife and two small boys. We were living paycheck to paycheck and suddenly I was on the bottom, terrified and desperate to quickly find a job. I learned at that time that the toughest time to find a job is when you desperately need one. I drove everywhere in search of a job. Prospective employers were kind suggesting that maybe later down the road they might have an opportunity. I needed something immediately. There was almost never a moment that I slept at night. After becoming unemployed, I also felt friendless. For years prior I thought I had zillions of friends. Suddenly it seemed as if no one knew me. I felt as if I had been dropped into a bottomless chasm and nobody cared. Suddenly I came up with a solution. I would end my life. Briefly I felt uplifted and hopeful. This would be the way out of what seemed to be no way out. I lived in a nice neighborhood at the time and decided to take a walk at 1 a.m. The sky was clear and it appeared as if every star was shining that night. It was one of those nights when I felt like I could touch each star. As I walked through the neighborhood that late summer evening I was very alone without the sound of cars or children playing. It was dead silent. I could hear my heart beating in the dead of the night. I started thinking, “I have a wonderful family who needs me. I have to be here for them. Taking my life would be a horrific act of selfishness.” I went back home and got on my knees and asked God to lead me and help me. If I ever needed a miracle from God it was then. I told God I would do anything, go anywhere. About two weeks later a man from Indiana called me and said “Glenn, would you be interested in moving to Indiana?” Quietly I thought to myself, God, anything but Indiana. Our family pulled up, moved and it ended up being the most empowering 20 years of my life. God took care of our family in an incredible way. Looking back 20 years ago I felt like we were just a month or two away from being homeless. It was a frightening feeling. I am sad for the thousands of Americans who do not have a place to sleep at night. I try to what I can yet never feel like it’s enough. I am so grateful. I’m grateful for a warm house and comfortable bed I’m thankful for food to eat and work that I love to do. I’m thankful for my loving wife, family and so much more. Maybe this Thanksgiving you are having trouble being thankful. Maybe your life is full of pain and you are spiraling downward into a dark chasm. My hope for you is that one night you might see the stars in their entire splendor and that your life will soon shine among them full of thanksgiving.

■ MEDITATION A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every Josh Tucker valley shall be Pastor lifted up, and St. Matthew’s every mounLutheran Church tain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” Isaiah 40:3-5 Grace to you and peace in the name of our long-expected Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
The holiday season is upon us. It’s hard to believe we are already making plans. We are already busy preparing for what is to come this time of year. We are already hearing carols and wrapping presents. We are already seeing Christmas movies and commercials on television. We are already taking advantage of shopping discounts. But are we really ready for Christmas and the coming of Christ? I ask this question because I often wonder this time of year what it is that we feel we need to be in such a rush about. Are we trying to hurry along the Christmas season or is it that we know it will be here before we know it and we must be prepared for what is to come? That is, I think, precisely why the people of God need time for deliberate preparation during the season of Advent. Time to prepare so that hearing the story of Christ’s advent once again this year brings about God’s
glory and revelation to us. Many protestant Christians began the church season of Advent this week. Advent invites us into an intentional time spent preparing and anticipating the coming of Christ. Just when it seems our culture presses the fast forward button straight to the Christmas season (and every year it seems that the Christmas rush happens earlier and earlier) we Christians are called to slow down. Perhaps this rush to Christmas time is manifested by the cultural desire for instant gratification - to want things now so as not to delay the product to the consumer. Perhaps this rush is about our need and desire to feel prepared. Whatever the case, Advent invites us into calm, meditative and intentional preparation for the birth of Christ. The prophet Isaiah warned us about the need for preparation. In this section of Scripture, the prophet
shares with us that, as we take the time to prepare, the glory of the Lord will be revealed to us. As we anticipate Jesus’ coming, we look forward to the glory he brings. For when Jesus comes, paths are made straight, valleys are lifted up and mountains made low; uneven ground is made level and rough places are made plain. This is the glory of the Lord that is shown to us in the story of a virgin giving birth to a son in a lowly manger. This is the glory of the Lord that is foretold us in the promises of the resurrection and salvation to all as we await the return of Jesus Christ. And so we do well to faithfully spend time in preparation and anticipation this Advent season as we see once again the glory of the Lord revealed to us this Christmas season. I pray that you and your family may have a most blessed Advent as we wait and anticipate the coming of Christ.
Combined choirs to present cantata The combined adult choirs of Eastside Baptist Church and Second Baptist Church of Kings Mountain will present a joyous message of hope with “Mary Did You Know?” – an inspiring Christmas cantata which centers around one of the most dramatic and inspired songs ever written for the Christmas season on Sunday evening, December 7 (6 p.m.) at Eastside and again on Sunday evening, December 14 (6 p.m.) at Second Baptist.

KM Shutter Light club extends welcome mat ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
You can use a 'point and shoot' camera or any type of camera to join the Shutter Light Group in Kings Mountain. And, yes you can be a member if you've never used a camera in your life. The welcome mat is out to join the group on third Tuesday evenings of each month at Kings Mountain Art Center at the Depot. This group often takes trips to shoot pictures at Daniel Stowe Gardens in Belmont, for instance, and this month will be shooting pictures of the Christmas lights downtown. They host informative speakers who encourage participation on camera use and
handful of members and the club has continued to add as many as 60 members with average attendance of 15-20. Fifteen members recently participated in a print competition and submitted 64 entries which took prizes from a panel of three judges, including Haithcox Photography and Scott Huffman Dodie Huffman of Image Gallery. The scoring of entries was based on the Merit System used by the Professional Photographers of America to award their degrees master photographer, photograph graphic craftsman, etc. The judging was strict with scores of 80 and above to earn a blue ribbon, 76 to 79 to earn a red ribbon and 72 to 75 to earn a white rib-

bon. Tom Pacheco of Mount Holly, a Master Photographer, became interested in the club when he was in-
vited as a guest speaker for a monthly meeting. A wedding and portrait photographer in New Redford, Massachusetts for 30 years, he has been a free lance photographer for 10 years in Mount Holly. In the early 1980s he got hooked on photography after eight lessons in a photography studio and taught night classes at a local high school for 8 years. At age 24 he opened his own studio and as a member of Professional Photographers of America, he has been the recipient of dozens of blue ribbons. He moved to Gaston County to be near a sister. He says that judges look for impact, quality and composition when they view a photograph. Tom won five red ribbons and one white ribbon. His photo of his cat staring out a window of his home almost was a blue ribbon winner, missing by a point. “Judges are very strict for these competitions and we learn so much from them," he said. Ellen Devenny took three blue ribbons, two red ribbons, and one white ribbon in the show. The Kings Mountain woman is a pre-kindergarten teacher in Gastonia since 1974 and her pictures appeared in Our State Magazine in 19962009 and in NC Wildlife. “I love free lance work and I love photography contests," she says. The winners in the recent print competition chose a variety of subjects: abstracts, landscapes, nature, people, pets and animals, plus subjects that caused a photographer to think out of the box. The photography is on exhibit at the Kings Mountain Art Center at the Depot through the month of December. The winners include a

KM students among WCU Band leading Macy’s Parade The Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountains Marching Band led the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday. Eight students from Cleveland County participated in the performance. Marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is every band member's dream. Just ask any of the eight Cleveland County young people and they will tell you it was an experience of a lifetime. It was worth it, they said, to get up at 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day with the rest of the Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountains Marching Band for rehearsals at 3 a.m. and prep to lead the parade. ''Marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is every band member's dream. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to perform on one of the world's largest stages," said Brandie Penner, a senior student from Kings Mountain who has played clarinet all four years in college and played in the Kings Mountain High School band four years. “Being in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was a phenomenal experience and it's a memory I know will stay with me the rest of my life," said Emily Whitaker of Kings Mountain. Jesseca Gregory said, "Being a part of the 88th annual Macy's Day Parade was the most amazing thing I have
ever done and it's a memory I know will stay with me for the rest of my life.” Brandie Penner and Jesseca play clarinet, Alex Nanney plays saxophone, William Hord and Joseph Chapman were on the drumline and Emily Whitaker was on flute. Nicholas Spangler and Jordan Smith, both of Shelby,
rounded out the Cleveland County group among the 501 band members who had a Thanksgiving dinner at the Marriott, along with WCU staff, band directors and family members who made the trip. “An absolutely unforgettable experience," says Brandie Penner.

Building: on upswing in New Year 2015 From Page 1 a 7022 square foot building at 1201 Shelby Road. Valuation of this property, according to Tammy Scruggs of the city codes depart-
ment, is $668,878. Waffle House, Inc., Norcross, GA, plans to rebuild a 1700 square foot construction at 106 Holiday Inn Drive. The present building will be torn down
and the new building will go up at the site. The property valuation is $400,000, according to a commercial building permit in the city codes office.
Police: are pro-active From Page 1 Representatives. Moore's father, councilman Rick Moore, said he was proud of his son and would be in Raleigh for the swearing-in service on Jan. 14, 2015. “I consider Tim a personal friend, he always responds when we call him," said the mayor. Buford Burton, Marie Jackson, Sheila Leonard, Jamey Keever and Debbie Keever, representing the Kings Mountain Awareness Group, asked city council to withdraw their support of a proposed casino/resort. “How many ways is there to say that what you did by signing the support letter was wrong, wrong, wrong," said Burton. “Your time for correcting your huge mistake is running out. Why not admit the error and withdraw your support? If you can't accomplish it as a board, do it as an individual, especially since the letter was not a board action to begin with. You should even be ashamed for your part of allowing the letter to be signed and sent looking like an official board document," he added. Burton said the group “is here in an effort to make this city a better place, or
at least keep it from being damaged.” Marie Jackson shared excerpts from articles in the Watertown Daily Times that concerned one casino closed due to public safety, tribes at odds over casinos and a security team led by a former tribal leader that stormed the Chukchansi casino in California. "Financial losses are unclear because Indian casinos are not required to disclose earnings. This type of turmoil isn't unique, this is happening in too many places, too frequently and we don't want incidents like this happening here," she said. In actions of the meeting, the board: • approved request of the Cleveland County Sheriff's office to hold a Polar Plunge, a charitable event, at Moss Lake on Feb. 28, 2015 contingent on the group having a certified life guard for the event and assuming the water will be of sufficient depth in February. The event includes the jumping from one of the piers into cold water. Deputies are raising money for Special Olympics.

Christmas is just weeks away, which means that Christmas shopping is right around the corner. With it comes Black Friday, crowds, snarled traffic and the hectic hunt for deals, right? Not necessarily. You may be able to check off a number of friends and relatives on your gift list this year and not even have to leave the city limits. In the bargain you’ll snapping up some truly unique (and sometimes handmade) gifts, while giving back to some non-profits in the area. The Kings Mountain Historical Museum’s gift shop, located at 100 E. Mountain St., offers up a mix of locally made honey, soaps, pottery, jewelry, ornaments and souvenirs. That’s not to mention a wide selection of books on local history, an entire section of which are linked to the museum’s 2014 lecture series, which featured experts Kings Mountain’s role in the Civil and Revolutionary Wars. The focus here is on

On Fridays and Saturdays, it runs from 5:30 p.m. to midnight. On Christmas Eve and New’s Years Eve it will run all night long. You can follow the action and leave feedback to the project by finding the light show’s Facebook page, located at Facebook/ KMChristmas.

The Southern Arts Society, located at 301 N. Piedmont Ave., features art shows throughout the year. But if you miss an exhibit, it’s easy to pop into its gift shop when you’re in the market for the work of some of the many artists who support the non-profit’s mission. There you’ll find the shelves lined with artisan pottery, sculptures, etchings, unique postcards and handmade jewelry. On the walls hang dozens of pieces

This year’s light show will see the return of the popular and moving segment “A Soldier’s Prayer.” “It gives me chills every time I listen to it,” Beard said. “To anyone with a military background it’s very touching.” Beard said he’s excited to have the show up and running again and thanked the City of Kings Mountain and
the Tourism Development Authority, both of which are funding the project. Beard and Neisler also say they’re already making plans for next year’s show, which they hope will again be expanded. “The city has done a marvelous job as far as embracing this project and making it happen in a big way,” Beard said. “We got such a tremendous response last year in our first year downtown that it inspired us to do more with it this year. We think the crowds
of original art – in water color, oil and other media. SASI board member Beth Caveny explains that while the store sees a small bump during the holiday season, the lines are never
long and the little shop never gets overly crowded. “It kind of varies with the economy – what we sell,” she said. “We sell a lot of art on sale in the shop, but we don’t sell an awful lot of higher priced items (such as oil paintings). It just depends on the overall economy, I think.” The H.L. Patrick Senior Center, located at 909 E. King St., functions partly as a consignment gift shop. Crafty folks in the community make things and bring them in and the shop puts them up for sale on their behalf. There you can find warm knit scarves and caps, jewelry boxes, decorative paperweights, teddy bears, baby blankets and a small collection of books, among other items. The biggest seller, according to gift shop employee Gloria Johnson, is jewelry. “People are amazed when they see the prices,” she said of the fine necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Johnson explains that the store buys the jewelry at a show held frequently in Charlotte and passes on the savings to Kings Mountain shoppers by charging just $2 over the cost. In a close second to jewelry are the handmade knit caps and handbags of various sizes the small shop sells. “Anyone can bring handmade items to the center and sell it,” Johnson said, adding that one local man for years has sold hand-carved walking sticks through the senior center’s shops.

Bell leads in seven defensive statistics for ’14 Mountaineers
Kings Mountain’s Omar Petty goes up high for a dunk in last week’s win over Forestview at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium.
Mountaineers win second straight, Forestview comes back to beat girls Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers continued to roll Tuesday night at home with a 70-42 victory over Forestview, but the Lady Mountaineers dropped their first loss when Forestview came from 15 points down in the second half to capture a 56-50 victory. The Mountaineers never trailed in posting their second straight non-conference victory over a Gaston County opponent. They had opened their season the previous week with a big win over the South Point Red Raiders. A full-court press which forced numerous turnovers and led to some easy baskets, and their rebounding strength were the big factors for Coach Grayson Pierce’s team. “Right now our defense is playing pretty doggone good,” Coach Pierce said. “We can get a little bit better on our half-court defense but our press is really good. We’re so long it’s hard for teams to pass over us.” Senior point guard Shawn Adams has been the leader of the press, chalking up eight steals Tuesday and 15 in the first two games. “That’s pretty impressive,” Pierce said. Kings Mountain rolled to a quick 14-5 lead halfway through the first period and was on top 22-7 after eight minutes. The lead ballooned to 36-19 at intermission and the Mountaineers completely broke the game open in the third period by out-

Senior guard Nelson McClain led the KM offense with a game-high 21 points, hitting eight of 12 shots from the floor. Omar Petty added 14 points and had a slam dunk to help get the Mountaineers rolling. Petty and Jacob Skidmore had five rebounds each and Skidmore also had eight points, four assists and three blocks. “We can still get a lot better offensively,” Pierce noted. “We’re not getting the ball inside to the big men like we should.” With Tiffani Thompson leading the way, the KM laSee KM/FORESTVIEW, Page 10

Bell led in tackles for loss, sacks, blocked punts and knocked down passes and teamed with Julian Coulter as the leaders in forced fumbles and with Chance Frederick in fumble recoveries and pass knockdowns.

KM/FORESTVIEW: Boys win second straight; girls fall in close contest From Page 9 dies rolled to an early 10-0 lead, but midway of the second period Thompson picked up her third foul and had to sit. The Lady Jaguars went to a full-court press and cut the margin to 27-20 at the half. With Thompson back on the floor, and freshman Leeasia Rhodes getting hot with back-to-back threes the KM ladies built a 35-20 lead with 4:50 left in the third period. However, Thompson picked up her fourth foul and had to go to the bench again and the Lady Jaguars were able to tie the game at 42-all with five minutes remaining. Thompson returned with 3:14 left and moments later Rhodes’ jumper gave KM a 47-45 lead. However, Foresview’s Kaitlin Kendricks hit a three with 1:51 left to put the visitors on top 48-47. KM’s Tamara Adams tied the game with a free
throw, and Thompson put in a rebound to give KM a 50-48 lead but the Lady Mountaineers wouldn’t score again. Thompson finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds, Rhodes had 12 points and Ka’Myiah Pressley added 10 points and 10 boards to lead the KM attack. First-year coach Adam Cooke gave Forestview credit for making the needed adjustments. “By the third quarter all of our guards were in foul trouble and Leeasia and Tiffani were in foul trouble pretty early,” he said. “We couldn’t be that aggressive. We need to do a better job of handling the press. We showed our youth.” BOYS GAME KM (70) – Hill 2, Funderburke 5, Adams 2, Petty 14, Cash 2, McClain 22, Starr 6, Roberts 3, Skidmore 8, Helton 1, Coulter 5.

Nick Whichard joins St. Luke Hospital St. Luke’s Hospital is pleased to introduce Nick Whichard who has joined the staff as the Information Services Director. With 18 years of information technology experience, Whichard has a strong background in telecommunications and healthcare information systems. His formal education is focused in Information Technology and Health Sciences. He is certified by the American Board of Imaging Informatics as an Imaging Informatics Professional. He worked as a telecommunications supervisor in the United States Army, manager of Clinical Support Systems (8 years) and most recently, Whichard worked as the Epic Enterprise Training Project and End User Support Manager
at the Medical University of South Carolina, where he received several awards and recognition. “St. Luke’s IT team is a committed and talented group. I hope to add to their existing strengths by supporting patient safety efforts, capturing cost-saving opportunities, supporting reimbursements and improving the end user's overall experience with software applications. I also hope we can implement new technologies to increase efficiencies,” says Whichard. One of Whichard’s first tasks at St. Luke’s Hospital will be to understand its current state. “It is difficult to go forward until you understand where you are,” Whichard explains. “This will in-
Shop locally That's what Jan Harris and the Kings Mountain Main Street program are promoting to stimulate the local economy. More and more people are being encouraged to stop locally. This movement isn't just a fad, and it has benefits that reach beyond keeping small mom and pop retailers afloat in a difficult economy. Here are just a few reasons why it's important to shop – and do business – local whenever possible. • When you stop at locally owned stores the money you spend stays in the community. That's because local businesses are more likely to purchase from other local businesses. The result is that the local tax base grows and you can help your local businesses keep each other growing. A stronger tax base means improved schools, better roads and greater support for your local police and fire departments. • Many people don't shop local because they think they can't buy the things they need in a local store. That's simply not true; small business owners are more willing to carry and stock special items their
Be a savvy shopper this holiday season Avoid common problems With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season upon us, Attorney General Roy Cooper offers the following tips to help consumers avoid common shopping problems that come up around this time of year. “Giving gifts to others is a huge part of holiday traditions for many families,” Cooper said. “By taking time to make smart decisions you can avoid the unnecessary stress of holiday shopping mishaps.” Buy from stores you know. This will improve the odds that you’ll be able to return or exchange a purchase. To check out a company’s track record, call the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-5-NOSCAM or contact your local Better Business Bureau. Shop safely online, too. Stick to well-established companies with secure web sites (look for a lock icon on the site and a web address that starts with “https”). Get the company’s street address and telephone number and verify them before you place an order. If you are buying gifts off of websites like Ebay or Craigslist be sure to check out the seller and the product before you agree to buy. If you are meeting someone to purchase an item, do it at a public place like a shopping center or even police station
customers need in order to be more accommodating. • The customer service is better. When you run into a problem, you're more likely to receive a satisfactory resolution from a local business owner than from a big box chain. That's because you probably know the people in charge at a local store. Large chains quickly become bureaucratic, and by the time you're in touch with someone empowered to remedy the problem, you're frustrated beyond repair. • Shopping local benefits you. Because local businesses help grow the economic base of your community, the dollars you spend have a domino effect. In many ways, that money will eventually find its way back to you. • You don't have to shop local every time to make an impact. Getting in the mindset of shopping and doing business locally first is all it takes to start improving your community.
clude an inventory of existing systems and their cost, meeting with key stakeholders within the hospital for their input, interviewing each member of the IT team and reviewing the IT project list (existing and future) to make sure they are aligned with the overall goals and strategies of St. Luke’s Hospital,” he said. Whichard is very excited to begin at St. Luke’s Hospital. “St. Luke’s Hospital is very different from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) where I have worked the last 16 years. These differences are positives for me. I was looking for a smaller, more focused organization. After interviewing with staff, it was clear the culture here was one of patient first, respect for all, close knit
family and seeking to do the best for the community. This is extremely appealing to me,” says Whichard. Ken Shull, St. Luke’s Hospital’s CEO, is looking forward to utilizing Whichard’s expertise with physician training. “As the manager of the EPIC Enterprise training project, Nick gained experience and expertise in bringing new users along as we continue to implement electronic health records. This is a huge investment for our hospital, so we look to Nick to help lead our staff and physicians to a higher level of confidence and understanding.” Currently, Whichard will reside in Shelby. When not working, his focus is on his faith, taking care of his family, teaching classes in the com-

GWU names Wagner, Fish to administrative leadership team BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Officials at Gardner-Webb are pleased to announce the appointment of two new senior staff members to the University’s administrative leadership team. This week, GWU President Dr. Frank Bonner revealed that Patrick Wagner of Green Bay, Wis., has been named the new vice president for university advancement, and Woody Fish, most recently the associate vice president for development and alumni relations, is now the vice president for external affairs and special assistant to the president. Fish begins his new duties immediately, and will be assisted in the transition phase by Scoot Dixon, who currently serves as special assistant to the president and will retire at the end of the year. Wagner has served as
Patrick Wagner the associate vice president for development at St. Norbert College (De Pere, Wis.) since 2009. As manager of a 27-member staff, Wagner led the college’s strongest annual giving performance and a record-setting overall gift production. With the lead responsibility for St. Norbert’s $90 million fundraising campaign, Wagner and his team significantly exceeded their goal. In addition, officials say Wagner is accustomed to raising the majority of
needed funds prior to the launch of a project. In his new role at Gardner-Webb, Wagner will oversee alumni relations, major gifts, the Bulldog Club, and the annual fund. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Lawrence University (Appleton, Wis.) and was previously employed in the private sector as a territory manager for Fuchs Lubricants and as general manager for Hicks Oils. Harry Woodrow “Woody” Fish earned a Bachelor of Arts in Health and Physical Education from Gardner-Webb in 1973, and received a Master of Arts in Health Education from GWU in 1983. Following graduation, Fish worked in a variety of coaching and administrative roles at GWU—including 12 years at athletic director and head football
Woody Fish coach. From 2001 through 2006, Fish worked as a coach and administrator for Duke University’s football program, and served as defensive assistant coach, linebackers’ coach, director of football operations, and director of high school relations for the Blue Devils. In 2006, he returned to Gardner-Webb as assistant vice president of development for athletics and has served as associate vice president of development and alumni relations since 2008.
