Michael Sharpe, 44, saw the side of his house on fire and smoke pouring out of his house on El Bethel Road early Wednesday morning and got his wife and six kids out of their burning house.

“This is not happening to us, this can’t be happening to us,’’ Florence Sharpe, 34, said Wednesday, as she and her husband watched everything they had go up in smoke.

The family dog, a Lab, did not make it out. “She went to check on the kids and never came back,’’ said Mrs. Sharpe.

Michael Sharpe turned the family’s space heater on around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday and the breaker blew.

“He flipped it back on, got ready for his job like he does every morning,’’ Florence Sharpe said.

Contact the theater at tickets@kmlt. org or visit www.kmlt.org The play takes place as Amelia Earhart attempts to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic

Ocean in May 1932. It is a grueling 15-hour flight with thunderstorms, equipment failures, weather icing problems, engine overheating and no way to leave the small, cramped cockpit. The stress, physical and mental, leads Amelia to look back on her life and people she has known. These flashbacks lead to a series of dramatic and comic vignettes which tell us more about this famous American aviatrix. A key prop of the play is a stage replica of her Lockheed Vega aircraft.

No one was injured.

Seven people came out of the house without shoes and in their night clothes.

Wednesday afternoon the Sharpe family was in the yard of the home and already getting help from people they didn’t know.

“This is why we like Kings Mountain, it is the best place to live,’’ said Mr. Sharpe.

Sharpe said the family has been without heat since December, using kerosene and space heaters on a faulty electrical system. He blames the faulty electrical system on his landlord for whom he has rented the house for three years. There were no working smoke detectors in the house, he said.

Bethlehem Fire Department, Grover Fire Department, Oak Grove Fire Department and Kings Mountain Fire Department battled the blaze which did not spread to houses on either side of the Sharp home.

The American Red Cross and many people in the Kings Mountain community are helping the family.

Mrs. Sharpe said she is so appreciative of the outpouring of love from the community.

KMPD Officer Jason Dee says the family has received truckloads of clothing and food donations but are still looking for a place to live. They have been staying at Comfort Inn. Dee is heading up a collection drive for gift cards from Walmart and Food Lion to help out the family when they get settled and these donations may be taken to Dee at the Kings Mountain Police Department.

“We have looked at a couple of places to live this week,’’ said Mrs. Sharpe.

American Legion Post 155 is also accepting donations for the family.

The Sharpe landlord, Mike Brown, has offered the couple a furnished cabin at Hounds Campground at half price, according to Mrs. Sharpe. “I wouldn’t be comfortable staying in any of his properties again,’’ said Mrs. Sharp.

The Sharpe children are in school. They include: Shaylin, 15; Floey, 14; Lauren, 12; Michael, 10; Jamey, 8; and Stephen, 7.

Michael Sharpe grew up in Kings Mountain.

OPINION

Wednesday, January 31, 2018

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.

–Willie Nelson

Will the groundhog see his shadow Friday?

Are we in for six more weeks of Winter?

The Farmer’s Almanac says we will have snow in March.

Do readers remember snow in March Lib Stewart Managing Editor every Wednesday?

Wednesday was press day for The Herald and the newspaper was printed on Wednesday. Everyone who could drive in the snow had a hand in delivering to some 25 or more dealers in town.

A survey by Maurice Guitron in National Today.com says that 67% of Americans think we’re in for six more weeks of winter.

There’s a legend that if the world’s most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on Ground Hog Day that the winter chill will continue. If the weather is cloudy and he doesn’t see his shadow, we can expect warmer temperatures and an early Spring.

Friday, Feb. 2 is Ground Hog Day. To conduct the National Today.com Groundhog Day survey, the researchers at www.nationaltoday.com asked 1,000 Americans how they plan to celebrate the quirky holiday. The survey of 1,000 Americans by Guitron found

that only 1 in 3 Americans think Phil won’t see his shadow this year.

The survey found that 78% of Americans surveyed had no idea where Phil sees his shadow or know how to spell the name of the town in Pennsylvania where the ground hog is located. Only 22% correctly spelled Punxsutawney, a town which has celebrated this fun holiday for 130 years.

Thousands of people travel to this small town to witness Phil’s prediction with events ranging from the crowning of Little Miss Groundhog and Mr. Groundhog at the annual Groundhog ball.

According to past predictions Punxsutawney Phil is accurate 39% of the time.

Some fun facts: 32% of American surveyed check on Ground Hog Day to see if Phil saw his shadow; 8% say they get up at sunrise to check whether Phil saw his shadow; 13% celebrate Ground Hog Day; 30% say it’s a pointless holiday; and 28% said they believed in Phil’s predictions when they were little.

Groundhog Day gives people an excuse to watch the movie “Groundhog Day” again and if their vacation takes them to Pennsylvania they could visit Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney where Phil hangs out.

On January 15, 2009, the flight took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City, bound for Charlotte, NC. Just three minutes later, the plane was floating down the Hudson River after

engine failure. The smell of burned feathers filled the plane.

Capt. Sullenberger devised a plan, “I needed to touch down with the wings exactly level.

I needed to touch down with the nose slightly up. I needed to touch down at a descent rate that was survivable. And I needed to touch down just above our minimum flying speed, but not below it. And I needed to make all these things happen simultaneously.”

When flight tapes were released, the captain seemed calm, See HUDSON, Page 7A

The flu bug - don’t touch porn stars, celebrities or politicians Where have people’s hands been?

When you shake hands with someone at church, the grocery Glenn Mollette store or Guest Editorial a restaurant what kind of germs are they carrying?

I once shook hands with Hillary Clinton and my wife told me to immediately go and wash my hands. She reminded me that her hands had been on Bill Clinton and that I wasn’t touching her until I washed my hands.

Think about the people with whom you shake hands. Would you shake hands with Harvey Weinstein? What kind of serious offensive disease might you contact?

Would you shake hands with Anthony Weiner?

What about Bill Cosby?

Kathy Griffin? Now our President has been accused of having an affair

with a porn star a few years back. There are reports she is starting up a tour to parade herself around the country naked to make money from the allegations.

Have the President’s hands been on a porn star? What happened to the $130,000 hush money that was allegedly paid to her? The truth about hush money is there is no such thing as hush money. If someone is trying to blackmail you there is no such thing as paying somebody to keep quiet because eventually they tell everything they know. How many people have come out in the last couple of years talking about stuff they had received money to keep quiet about?

Several. They didn’t keep quiet and I bet they spent the money.

What about our elected politicians? They lie to us all the time.

They lie about how they want to help us. They lie to us about how much they care. They lie

about where the money comes from and where it’s going. They make any promise under the sun for your vote. Do you really want to shake hands with these people?

What kind of crud are they carrying?

Today would be a good day to take a break from shaking hands and hugging strangers - at least through about April. Simply put - you don’t need the flu or the crud that is going around this country.

My wife and I visited a church last week down the street and about 25 people shook hands with us. This was very nice of course. People like to feel welcomed when visiting a church.

Many churches have what they call fellowship time when people turn around and shake hands with those around them.

Many people enjoy this and greeting people they know or meeting new people. Unfortunately this time of year you See FLU BUG, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION

New Creation saints continue to Take a moment worship God for to walk outside his mighty acts of and look at God’s creation. Indeed, creation. There humans are God’s are wonders and marvelous crebeauties to behold. ation as well, yet Think on this, in Christ, we are from galaxies and more. The Aposstars, trees and rivers, to micro- DR. JONATHAN tle Paul explains M. BUNDON through Christ; we organisms; God is Worship Pastor the creator.

First Baptist Church are made new.

Though it may “Therefore, if be easy for us to overlook or take creation anyone is in Christ, he is a for granted, the angels new creation. The old has never do. Read Genesis; passed away; behold the the angels marvel over new has come” (2 CorinthiGod’s handiwork. Read ans 5:17). When we accept Revelation, the angels and Jesus as Lord and Savior,

he forgives our sin and puts to death our old life and gives us life anew; hence the expression, born again.

Yet a problem remains.

As sure as we forget about God’s created world, we fail to recognize God’s new creation in us. The consequence, we live as defeated people. We rely on ourselves rather than Christ.

When Paul speaks of the new life in Christ, he lets us know, we are a NEW creation. Christ offers us a new life to the fullest, but only when we wholly rely on him. God does not want

partial obedience; he must have our total obedience.

Being a new creation in Christ is more than a partial surrender to Christ.

We must come to the point when we say “Lord, I give you everything. Consume all the junk that keeps me from fully relying on you.”

To be sure, we all struggle with something. You are not alone, even though you may feel no one else experiences what you have to endure. I can empathize with you. Though not identical, I have been in the desert places as well. The Christian walk rarely mirrors an easy path. Instead, our walk can be compared to a mountain hike with rocks, tree roots, and ob-

stacles. Now and again the journey is smooth while other times the journey is slow and even painful.

I do not know where you are today, physically, emotionally, or spiritually; but God knows. In the midst of your circumstance, Jesus is there. Call on him. In the uncertainty of life, hold fast to the promises of God. The world’s temporary pleasures are merely that, temporary.

When you step outside into God’s creation, worship and rejoice. Rejoice in his mighty act of creation. Even more, worship the Lord, knowing that in Christ, you are his new creation.

But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord— who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

■ LIFESTYLES

DAR planning for special events, Wreaths Across America Project The January meeting of the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was held Tuesday, January 23 at the Italian Garden Restaurant. This meeting was a work session for the chapter as they plan for the NCSDAR State Conference and the NSDAR Continental Congress by electing delegates and discussing the responsibilities the chapter will have at State Conference this year. The chapter is part of District II, the host district for this year’s State Conference and is partnering with the Rendezvous Mountain Chapter from North Wilkesboro to host the Thursday Night Regents Welcome Reception.

Also on the agenda at this meeting was planning for the chapter’s DAR

year. Once again the chapter will be participating in Wreaths Across America.

This year it is the chapter’s goal to sponsor Mountain Rest Cemetery here in Kings Mountain and place a wreath on the grave of every Veteran buried there.

They will need the communities help to see this happen. Please consider sponsoring one or more wreaths to honor the Kings Mountain heroes buried there. Wreaths can be purchased through out the year with more details to come.

If you or an organization you are involved with are interested in assisting with this event you can contact the chapter through their website at www.colfrederickhambright.com.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to preserve the mem-

ory and spirit of those who contributed to securing American independence.

Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations with nearly 180,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide.

These members passionately carry out the timeless mission of promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism.

To learn more about the work of today’s DAR, visit www.dar.org or the Colonel Frederick Hambright webpage at www.colfrederickhambright.com.

CMart #2, Community Mart, adding restaurant, game room to grocery store CMart #2, Community Mart, is adding a restaurant and game room to its grocery store at 721 Margrace Road.

The family-oriented business is operated by husband and wife, Donna and Bobby Haskin, life-long residents in the Midpines Community.

The additions to the grocery store will be open next month.

Randy and Jazz Cheema, owners of the property, have completed major renovations to the grocery store and are planning a Customer Appreciation Day when the new additions are

finished.

The grocery store features popular food items and some items that the whole family will find helpful to check off their grocery lists. The North Carolina Education Lottery is available as well as beer and wine, Haskin’s brand of homemade boiled peanuts, popular brands of milk and soft drinks, ice cream, breads, bags of ice, and much more is on the shelves and in the freezer compartments. The shelves are stocked with dog food, everyday items that are useful in the kitchen, and even a few baby clothes and gifts

suitable for babies.

“We care about everyone and we want everyone to know that if they are unable to come into the store we can take their grocery list, fill it, and take it to them at their car,’’ said Bobby Haskin, who will manage the store. He and his wife have six children and 10 grandchildren and they are all involved in the operation of the grocery store, game room, and restaurant.

The grocery store is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m., 10 p.m. on Sunday, and restaurant and game room hours will be announced next month.

The satellite arrived at the spaceport in French Guiana last month for launch preparations.

“I thank Speaker Moore for trusting me enough to appoint me to be a chairman of major committees, and for helping me appropriate money for worthwhile causes such as community colleges and Crowders Mountain,” said Hastings.

“As part of my service, I constantly think about ways to help men and women who put their lives on the line for us, from firefighters, law enforcement officers and all first responders, to the men and women who serve or served in the Armed Forces of the United States. I enjoy helping people,” said Hastings.

In practice, though, only a handful of hosted payloads have flown for military and civil agencies to date because difficulties in finding suitable satellite hosts and contractual challenges, among other issues.

Gossett explained that for GOLD, a hosted payload made sense with the goal of the mission to get a global view of conditions in the ionosphere as it interacts with the solar wind and geomagnetic storms, which is not possible with a satellite on low Earth orbit.

Getting GOLD launched has been years in the making,

said Gossett.

“SES has been working with Richard Estes, principal investigator for GOLD at the University of Central, Florida and the GOLD team for a good part of a decade, Gossett, senior director of hosted payloads at SES Government Solutions, said at a NASA briefing in Florida recently. “Every time we go through this process, we learn a little something on how to take that process and apply it forward,’’ said Gossett.

Son of Shirley and Mal Brutko of Kings Mountain, Todd Gossett grew up in Kings Mountain. He graduated from Kings Mountain High School, UNC at Chapel Hill and joined the US Air Force. Col. Gossett retired two years ago from the military and joined SES Government Solutions.

Protecting what’s important

FLU BUG From Page 4A could be shaking hands with death.

Germs can be contacted anywhere. From the grocery store cart to sitting next to people at sporting events or the movie theatre there are germs.

Few people want to lock themselves in the house with disinfecting wipes or cans of Lysol. On the other hand nobody enjoys what comes with the Flu. Almost everyday that I turn on the news one of the top three leading stories is about somebody dying from the flu or the hospitals being overrun with sick people. So far this year 30 children have died from influenza. Last season 110 children died.

Every year according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention 12,000 to 49,000 people will die from influenza.

He later disclosed that he was anything but calm.

When asked by Couric if it was hard to keep cool, he said, “No. It just took some concentration.” The captain told the crew and passengers to prepare for impact.

In the cabin, flight attendants were chanting in unison: “Heads down.

Stay down. Brace. Brace.

Brace.”

“I could hear them clearly,” Sullenberger recalled. “I felt very comforted by that. I knew immediately that they were on the same page. That if I could land the airplane, that they could get out safely.”

The plane touched down on the water, bounced across the surface, and floated to a stop. Those there said the captain remained cool throughout the ordeal.

But, Sullenberger doesn’t agree, “I was in shock,” he said. “I just crashed an airplane.”

Images from that day show the Airbus on the Hudson River with passengers awaiting rescue on the wings and standing in freezing water. Tugboats and ferries rushed to their rescue.

2. Self worth. The feeling that “I am somebody” is a positive trait.

Parents who encourage children’s courage and dignity in dealing with others promote this value. The best leaders treat others with dignity.

3. Control. The need for control can be seen in two-year olds and teenagers asserting independence. Gaining self-control through discipline, structure, and clarity can signal someone who is a producer, who hates to waste time.

4. Pleasure. Contentment and happiness can be positive traits. Parents who teach that it is okay to fail and how to recover from it are giving their children a platform for positive happiness.

5. Love. We need it.

Bell says, “There is a genetic code need for love.” He says you can measure how others feel about you by a ”seek-me-out-index.” How many people seek you out for advice and help when they have a problem? He says that good listening skills draw people to you.

6. Play. Enjoying play is a trait of a good leader. In fact good strategic planning is playing with ideas.

What about the bad leadership traits?

POLICE From Page 2A Road. Property damage was slight.

JAN.22: Officer H. W. Carpenter said that a parked 2004 Kia owned by Kendra Robinson Pennington, 212 Cameron Drive, was struck by a driver who left the scene in the parking lot at 500 Phifer Road. Property damage was estimated at $2,000.

my in 1969, serving in Vietnam and attaining the rank of Captain. After the military, he became a commercial airline pilot and served as an instructor and Air Line Pilots safety chairman and accident investigator.

Those years of experience paid-off when he found himself attempting a water landing in the Hudson River. After the bird strike, Captain Sullenberger quickly assessed the situation and judged it too dire to attempt to fly to an airport. He knew what he had to do and chose the best, widest, most level surface available to him at the time.

Was the “Miracle on the Hudson” really a miracle? Captain Sullenberger wouldn’t think so.

But, the 154 other souls

on-board the plane that day probably wouldn’t agree.

1. Performer. They show off, self-promote, and go on overdrive.

2. Attacker. They are hostile, critical, and getting even, and only happy when they’re in a fight.

They never apologize.

3. Rigidity. An “unbender.” It is all black or white for rigid people. They order people to do things rather than working with them.

Underneath they dislike people. They command and destroy.

4. Avoider. They are unwilling to take risks.

5. Pleaser. They are too focused on being nice.

They do not communicate directly and reflect a low degree of competitiveness.

6. Drifter. Like those, Dr. Bell says, who live in Volkswagen vans, they crave freedom but avoid responsibility.

Bell asks his students to what degree they possess the six “best leader” behavior patterns and/or the six “worst leader’ patterns? Are they “more of an Entrepreneur (best leader) or a Performer (worst leader)? A Team Builder or a Pleaser?

A Producer or a Commander?”

When his presentation was over, I found myself wishing that Bell could take his leadership program to the Congress and the White House.

JAN. 23: Officer H.W. Carpenter said that Vanda Herring Lyons of Shelby, operating a 2006 Nissan, failed to yield the right-of-way on US 74 Business and backed into a 2018 Mercedes Benz operated by Patricia Ward Hendrix of Charlotte. Lyons was backing from the private drive of 1616 Shelby Road and Hendrix was traveling in the right lane of US 74 Business West. Property damage was estimated at $3000.

Pickle Ball exciting to watch and play at KM YMCA Winter Jam The game looks like tennis. It looks like ping pong.

It bears a slight resemblance to badminton. It is called Pickle Ball and it’s one of the fastest and largest growing sports in America.

Friday Pickle Ball attracted 40 players in a doubles tournament for men, women and mixed teams at the Winter Jam Pickle Ball tournament at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA. Not only is Pickle Ball fun but Tanner Ross, Sports Director at the YMCA, says it’s easy to learn. Nat Cook, Sports Director of Shelby’s YMCA, who brought some players from Shelby Y, and Kimberlee Farris assisting with registering and scoring, agree. Six teams beginning with Men’s Under 55 kicked off the event at 9 a.m. and continued with Women’s under 55, Mixed under 55, Women’s over 55, and Mixed team over 55

until 2 p.m.

Pickle Ball is a lively racket game and the Y gymnasium was busy.

Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court with paddles made of wood or high-tech aerospace material. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball but slightly smaller. The lower net and wiffle ball allows the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

“Pickle Ball is a game for the whole family,’’ says Ross, who says it was invented in 1965 by a family in Bainbridge Island near Seattle, Washington.

Points are only won when serving and the game is won once a team reaches 11 points, however, a team must win by two points.

Watchers on the sidelines and waiting their turn to play called the gam “exciting.”

Big finish keeps Mountaineers in first place in Big South 3A at halftime.

The Mountaineers were up 64-50 when Delph picked up his fourth foul with 56.7 seconds left in the third period. With Delph on the bench, KM widened the gap to 66-51 heading into the fourth period but the visitors rallied and cut the margin to 10 (69-59) with just over five minutes remaining.

With Delph back in the game, the Huskies continued to put the pressure on and got a put back from Trent Ostander to cut the margin to 72-66 with 2:54 left.

Eli Paysour, who had one of the best games of his career with 24 points, answered that basket to take the lead back to eight but the Huskies’ Blake Wilson hit a three from the corner to cut the margin to 74-69.

Kobe Paysour’s two free throws increased the led to 76-69 with 2:09 left, and neither team could score until Davis’ only bucket of the night cut the margin to 7672. Effective ball handling by the Mountaineers forced the Huskies into the fouling situation that resulted in the final score.

Delph with 22 points and Zeke Littlejohn with 20 joined Eli Paysour in double figures for the Mountaineers.

Savion Falls scored 18, Zoe Wallace 15, Blake Wilson 14 and Chase Nixon 11 for the Huskies.

Kings Mountain shutout Hunter Huss 10-0 over the final minute and a half to turn a close game into a rout and defeat the Huskies 86-72 in a Big South Conference game Friday night at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium.

The Huskies came into the match hoping to upset the league-leading Mountaineers, who had suffered their first conference loss at North Gaston the previous Friday, and throw the league race into a tie.

But after a three pointer by the Huskies’ Tony Davis cut the margin to 76-72, the Mountaineers got a steal and layup by Kobe Paysour, a steal and two free throws by Eli Paysour, two free throws

by Adrian Delph and a monster reverse dunk by Delph with 16 seconds left to keep their first place standing.

The win kept the Mountaineers alone in first place with a 9-1 BSC record and 15-5 overall mark heading into a home game last night against second place Ashbrook (7-2, 13-6).

North Gaston led only in the early stages of the first quarter before the Mountaineers got their offense in full throttle. Zeke Littlejohn’s dunk with three seconds left ended the quarter with KM up 22-12.

The Mountaineers opened up a 30-14 lead early in the second quarter before the Huskies rallied and trimmed the margin to 43-35

KM’s Morgan wins 182-pound BSC title Sedrick Morgan was Kings Mountain’s only individual champion in the Big South 3A Conference wrestling tournament Saturday at Crest High School.

Morgan pinned Jonathan Webber of Crest in 4:22 to win the 182-pound division.

Crest, which had beaten Kings Mountain last week for the regular season Big South championship, defeated the Mountaineers again for the tournament crown 172 to 155. Hunter Huss was third with 137.5,

followed by North Gaston 94, Ashbrook 88, Stuart Cramer 85, Foestview 81 and Burns 50.

Kameron Miller of Forestview was named the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler.

Finishing second for the Mountaineers were Koby Rikard, Gage Moore, Nathan Groves and Reese Reinhardt.

Rikard lost a major decision to Chance Contingham of North Gaston in the 106pound class. Moore was pinned by Ethan Stroud of Ashbrook in the finals of the 120 pound class. Groves lost by a technical fall to former teammate Quintin Zanders of Crest in the 152 pound class, and Reinhardt dropped a major decision to Kameron Miller of Forestview in the 160-pound class.

Wildcats hand KM first loss in BSC The Big South 3A Conference basketball race got a little tighter last week in Dallas as the North Gaston Wildcats handed the first place Kings Mountain Mountaineers their first loss.

The win moved the Wildcats and Ashbrook to within a tie of first place as the season hits the home stretch.

The Wildcats grabbed the lead early and held it for most of the game. They were up 19-12 after the first quarter but Kings Mountain rallied to take a 34-33 lead into the break. The Mountaineers clung to a 47-45 lead going into the fourth quarter.

LT Thomas led the winners with 19 points and Tyrese McNeal contributed 17. Kings Mountain’s Adrian Delph led all scorers with 26.

Eli Paysour had 13 and Zeke Littlejohn 12 for KM. Kings Mountain’s woes continued in the opener as the Lady Moutaineers dropped a 51-36 decision. Spencer Britton led North with 13 points and nine boards, and Sarah Grace Hayes also scored 13.

Whitaker, Addis senior winners After losing some playing time due to inclement weather, the Cleveland County Senior Golf Association got back into the swing of things last week at Cherokee National in Gaffney, SC. Roy Whitaker took low gross with a 75 and Tom Addison won low net with a 66.

Chuck Rinehart was closest to the pin on hole 17. Dub Martin sank the longest putt on 18.

Zeke Littlejohn, left, and Adrian Delph were recognized at Friday’s KMHS basketball game for topping the 1,000 point mark for their career.

Two Kings Mountain High basketball players surpassed the 1,000 point mark in games last week, becoming the second and third players this year to top the figure.

Earlier in the season, junior guard Hannah Clark scored her 1,000th point in her third year as a starter.

Last week at North Gaston, Adrian Delph topped the 1,000 mark in less than two seasons at Kings Mountain. He also scored over 1,000 in his two-year career at Gastonia’s Piedmont Charter School.

In Friday’s win over Hunter Huss at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium, junior Zeke Littlejohn topped the 1,000 point mark.

The game was stopped for Coach Grayson Pierce to present him a ball.

Because Delph passed 1,000 in away game, he was presented a ball at halftime.

This is the first year ever for two Mountaineer teammates to pass the 1,000 mark during the same season.

KM Middle girls beat Burns Kings Mountain Middle’s girls basketball team defeated Burns 28-23 Thursday to improve to 2-0 in the Tri-County Conference East Division and 3-3 overall Burns took a 15-8 halftime lead but the Lady Patriots went on a 9-2 run in the third quarter to tie the game at 17-all, then capped that off by outscoring Burns 11-6 in the final quarter for the victory.

Andrea Melton led all scorers with nine points.

Khalia King added six and Aalyiah Byers five.

Others scoring for the Lady Patriots were Tyaysia Bell four, Monica Head three, and Marly Arnold one.

Melton, Arnold and Byers played outstanding defense to close the gap to three points in the third period.

In a non-division game last week, the Lady Patriots lost to Shelby 42-17.

Yasmine Robinson led the team in scoring with six, and Andrea Melton added five.

Others scoring were Katie Platt, Aaliyah Byers

and Tyasya Bell with two each.

Playing well no defense were Byers, Bell and Melton.

Kings Mountain Middle’s boys lost to Shelby 67-54 and Crest 62-26 last week.

Kings Mountain played its best game of the season in the loss to the Blue Devils.

Isaiah Tate led the scoring with 29 points, hitting 5 of 11 from the floor including 3-for-4 from beyond the arc. He hit 15 of 19 from the free throw line and also had four assists and four rebounds.

Zeke Cannedy scored 11 points, including three treys. Rashaard Brooks scored six and grabbed four rebounds, DeAndre Hoyle had four points and five rebounds, AJ Richardson two points and four rebounds, and Kassim Turner two points and three rebounds. Brooks led the defensive effort.

Kings Mountain hit 17 of 21 shots from the foul line, 3 of 17 from three point land, and 8 of 20 from two-point land.

Looking for students who want to work

SNOW SCENES – These two photographs by Shirley Brutko show the Gateway Trail and entrance covered with snow on Jan. 17. ”I couldn’t resist taking out my camera and making pictures, it was beautiful,’’ said Brutko, Director of the Trail.

Advanced Manufacturing Academy prepares high school students for after graduation Last fall, Cleveland Community College and Cleveland County Schools partnered to begin an Advanced Manufacturing Academy open to rising eleventh graders. The first Academy class has finished a successful first semester, and the selection process is underway for the next Academy class.

The Academy is a twoyear program in which students learn job skills, earn valuable credentials and complete their high school studies, all at the same time.

Students train to enter the workforce following high school in one of the following areas: Automation Engineering, Computer-In-

tegrated Machining, Facility Maintenance, Industrial Systems, Mission Critical Operations, and Welding. These areas were selected to fill the skills gap for these high demand jobs in Cleveland County.

During their senior year, students will be placed at a local manufacturing plant where they will gain on-thejob training. Often, these experiences lead to full-time employment and many students’ first job.

Interested tenth graders from Cleveland County Schools must attend an information session/open house on Thursday, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. at Cleveland Community College, Hunt Campus Center, Room 1140 to learn more about this exciting opportunity.

Support team Sets fundraiser Deploy, Inc has been. established to become the leading support team for families of deployed soldiers from the Army National Guard, Air National Guard and Army Reserve in both North and South Carolina.

Deploy, Inc. is a registered 501c3 in North Carolina.

On February 10th, Deploy will host a barbeque fundraiser at Shelby City Park gymnasium with 100% proceeds going directly to Deploy, Inc. Doors open 3pm. One plate will in-

clude BBQ, homemade fries, hush puppies and dessert.

The mission of Deploy is to work to ensure peace of mind to the soldiers by providing support if home and auto emergencies arise during deployment. The local non-profit is embarking on a fundraising campaign which will enlist donors and sponsors who will come alongside the organization in order to support the mission. For more information, visit www.deployinc.org.

Red kettles overflowed during Christmas season

By Cassie Herndon Tarpley Special to all media SHELBY – Red kettles overflowed for the 2017 Christmas season fundraising, topping the $100,000 goal by nearly $4,000.

The kettle total was $1903,896. The mail total

was $31,589.00 The corps’ annual mail campaign garnered nearly $32,000, almost double that of 2016.

“I want to thank the community for its response,” said Sgt. Les Ashby, corps administrator for The Salvation Army

CHRIS MABRY

SGT. LES ASHBY

Moore and Hastings among speakers at inaugural legislative gathering North Carolina Speaker of the House Tim Moore, also NC House Representative MOORE from District 111, and Rep. Kelly E. Hastings, of District 110, both of Cleveland County, w e r e a m o n g HASTINGS speakers at the inaugural Isothermal Legislative Gathering Monday at Tryon International Equestrian Center, Campagna Italian Grille, Mill Spring.

Other speakers representing McDowell, Polk and Rutherford Counties were Rep. Josh Dobson of District 85; Rep. David Rogers of District 112; Rep. Cody Henson of District 113; and Scott Dadson, IPDC Executive Director.

Mayor Fred Baisden of Saluda and chair of the IPDC board of directors welcomed the 130-people representing 28 county and municipal governments to the brunch and to hear legislative messages

from the legislators.

Kings Mountain Mayor Scott Neisler was among elected officials who attended the 10 a.m. brunch and meeting.

“We have worked together to access over $4.4 million in Appalachian Regional Commission funds since 2010 to leverage $9 million in other dollars for projects around Polk, McDowell, and Rutherford Counties to help local employers through the Region C Workforce Development Board, which averages $1.3 million per year in our four county region to benefit employees in On the job training, Dislocated Worker Program and Youth Programs; USDA has made a total of $216 million in investment in our four county region in the areas of housing guarantees, housing projects, community facilities, water and environmental projects auch as public utilities, and business development; over $6 million in EDA funding has been received in Region C to leverage over $18 million in investments such as the Earl Scruggs Center in Shelby and Workforce Development at Cleveland and Isothermal Colleges and infrastructure investment in Marion and McDowell County,’’ reported IPDC Executive Director Dadson.

Legislators heard goals in

economic and workforce development, human services, transportation and housing. In Human Services, the Isothermal Planning Commission sought increased funding by an additional $300,000 in recurring funds for senior centers, sought establishment of a joint legislative committee to examine issues pertaining to the state’s growing older adult population and to make recommendations on how the state can better support ways for North Carolinians to age with dignity.

Under Transportation issues, the group asked legislators to continue to seek future interstate status for US 74 from I-26 in Polk County through Cleveland County to I-85 and to advocate for Complete Streets whenever roads are modernized or widened and under Housing issues to support an increase in the level of funding for the Home and Community Care Block Grant, the HUDVASH program and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and assist local governments in finding sustainable and affordable options for housing rehabilitation in existing neighborhoods and in providing multi-modal transportation options to connect affordable housing developments to employment and cultural centers.

in Rutherford and Cleveland counties.

“This is our best season since Mary and I have been serving here,” he said.

Advisory Board Chair Chris Mabry also had praises.

“Thank you to Sergeants Mary and Les Ashby for their leadership and to the staff, seasonal bell ringers, our Advisory Board members and to all the volunteer bell ringers. The generosity of everyone who gave their time and resources is such a blessing.”

One down side - for the first time in many years, no special coins showed up in the kettles.

Kruggerands and other gold pieces, as well as specialty coins, have landed in area kettles for at least 15 years. Ashby speculated that perhaps the donors have passed on.

“We’d love to see someone, or several someones, pick up that tradition again.”

“Overall,” Ashby said, “these results are good,” but a well-known Army slogan expresses his feelings. “‘Need knows no season,’ and we need people to keep giving throughout the year. Even a monthly gift of $25 would be helpful to

us in our budget.”

With a monthly budget of $40- to $45,000, Mabry said, “The Salvation Army provides services to our neighbors all year long and we hope you will continue helping us serve those in need.

“We have great momentum,” he said. “Please consider participating throughout 2018 to help make this our best year ever!”

Sgt. Mary Ashby praised companies, groups and individuals who adopted 506 angels in Cleveland County, as well as 37 volunteers who helped with the distribution, working 148 hours in that effort.

In Rutherford County: 539 angels, as well as 259 food orders for families collected by school groups; 92 volunteer bell ringers who gave 106 hours, and 54 volunteers who helped with the toy and food distribution, working 336 hours in that effort.

Demand on the food pantry has been great and is expected to continue.

“Our small staff is hard pressed to keep up with stocking and serving our clients at the same time,” Sgt. Mary

Ashby said. “We really need volunteers who can help us a few hours in the morning or a few hours in the afternoon. To sign up, call her at 704-6928515.

Repairs to the church and office at 305 N. Lafayette St. are necessary that will require donations in cash and kind from the community, Ashby said. Plans are on the table for work on the buildings – things as simple as installing small windows in interior doors and repainting some walls – to a major repaving for the parking lot.

Craftsmen willing to help should call Sgt. Ashby at 704418-5351. Donations may be sent to The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 1764, Shelby, NC 28151.
