Butlers give bullet-proof vests to KMPD Ward 2 City Councilman Mike Butler and his wife, Kathy, presented two bullet proof vests that are rifle rated to the Kings Mountain Police Department this week.
Butler said the gifts are given in honor of Kings Mountain’s four past police chiefs Richard Reynolds, Bob Hayes, Houston Corn and Melvin Proctor and purchased from Pre-
mier Armor. A rifle vest also stops a bullet from a rifle. “We wanted to honor the Chiefs that I have worked with and also make the presentation in

Drug charges lodged against 5 KM suspects and 2 Grover suspects by Narcotics Officers Five suspects were arrested during the week of Oct. 23 by the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department on drug charges and two other suspects are wanted on outstanding warrants. “The Sheriff’s office will continue to make drug investigations a high priority,’’ Sheriff Alan Norman said. “Statistics have shown for years that drug use leads to other crimes, in particular breaking and entering and larcenies, where users have to steal to fund their habit.” “The violence associated with drug dealing is also a huge concern of mine, and those dealers who possess guns during drug transactions will be a very high priority,’’ Norman added. The Sheriff’s Office takes complaints of drug sales very seriously, Norman said, and requests that anyone with information on drug dealers in their neighborhood contact the Vice/ Narcotics Division at 704484-4987.

Janet Sneed Beani loves being in the kitchen at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life and Conference Center. Friday is the big day for senior citizens at Janet’s table where she is the chief Chef in preparing a good, generous and tasty meal for 65-80 people at the low cost of $3. Her cooking gets the ‘personal touch’ and that’s why she is popular in many other activities that she is involved in every day. “I love everybody,’’ she says. Sarah Miller, the assistant Chef, and volunteers June Bridges, Pat Lemmon and Deborah Hoyle are her right hands and their and Janet’s pay is a free lunch. But the enjoyment is worth all the effort. “God works in mysterious ways,’’ says Janet. She said that she prayed about taking the responsibility eight years ago and “it’s a calling.” Janet said she took the advice of Ruth Beam, retired teacher who has celebrated her 100th birthday and an active participant at the Senior Center. Beam told her the secret of long life is “staying busy.” And if Ruth’s advice holds and God-willing, Beani, 62, should attain that golden age. Born in Great Falls, SC, Janet moved to Kings Mountain with her mother, Virginia Myers Sneed, at age 12 and graduated from Kings; Mountain High School in 1973. She attended college for three years. She chose to be a caregiver for her mother and didn’t return to college but worked in Kings Mountain. Janet worked at Spectrum Dyed Yarns for 17 years and it was at work that she met the love of her life, Alberto Beani of Italy, who was installing automated machinery at the plant. They dated two years and were married in 1999. Mr. Beani works for Symtech of Spartanburg, SC and travels to various plants training workers to run machinery. ‘’Dr. Jelot gave me some good advice too. He told me to see Carolyn Bell at the Senior Center and I volunteered as an
Chefs in the kitchen at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life and Conference Center on Friday put the “personal touch” on their cooking. Pictured left is Sarah Miller, the Assistant Chef. Her specialty is cornbread which Is served with homemade vegetable soup. Right is Janet Sneed Beanie, Chief Chef, who is very popular in cooking and many other activities she is involved in at the Senior Center. Photo by LIB STEWART office assistant. “Carolyn inspired me,’’ said Janet. It wasn’t long until Janet was working bingo at the Senior Center. teaching a jewelry class, serving on the advisory board and volunteering four days a week. There was always something to do. She built a relationship with the seniors and approached then-Manager Monty Thornburg about serving lunch on Friday. Tomatoes from her garden provided the first meal she served at no charge and seniors liked the idea and for a year lunch on Friday was paid for by donations. Vegetables came from local gardens and Friday lunch soon became an enjoyable, growing process. With expansion at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center, Friday lunch became so popular that people were taking out 25-30 plates and 65-80 people were enjoying lunch and fellowship in the dining room on Friday. “I was going grocery shopping every week but now we order most of our food and supplies,’’ said Janet. She plans the
menu 90 days in advance and posts the menu at the Center. Hotdog plates are the favorite of moist seniors. She breads the chicken legs, makes the chili and slaw. Sarah Miller ‘s specialty is cornbread, always a favorite of the lunch crowd, and volunteers serve the meal. Soup has also become a favorite of Friday lunch-goers. Senior citizens lunch in a pleasant atmosphere and make friends easily. Janet says she and her staff are laying the groundwork for what she hopes will be on day be an open kitchen five day a week for anyone in the community to enjoy lunch. They have organized the kitchen, supplies and pantry. A new stainless-steel walk-in cooler, big, new walk-in freezer and an enlarged kitchen area gives plenty of space for storing, cooking, and planning meals. Janet’s enthusiastic team prepared food on Oct. 31 for the Fall Festival. “We are blessed,’’ says Janet, adding, “I believe God wants us to be at the Senior Center.’’

You can count on me now and in the future with God’s help. CURTIS PRESSLEY – I’m am active listener, I enjoy helping people and I communicate well with people being careful not to judge. This is what a person should possess in public life. And when disagreements arise with my colleagues, these traits have helped me to understand and work with anyone in trying to solve those difficult issues. DAVID ALLEN – A lifetime of real experience makes me the best candidate for the position of city Council Member. I have spent a full career in the public safety field, moving up the ranks into leadership roles that impacted a large portion of our state. I know how government should work at all levels and I believe that my experience and my numerous relationships will benefit our city. I completed a degree in Public Administration to enable me to possess a more complete understanding of best-case practices in government. Our city is supported through a variety of citizen advisory boards and I have served on these boards for over 25 years. I know council does not work in a vacuum, as it depends on input from many sources. By serving and leading boards such as with Planning and Zoning, Travel and Tourism and Parks and Recreation, I gained that knowledge. Today, I teach leadership across the country and I believe I can bring much of my knowledge to Council in order to make a positive impact on the future of Kings Mountain. Simply put, preparation makes me be the best candidate for Council. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE CURRENTLY FACING CITY COUNCIL? MIKE BUTLER – The biggest issue facing our city is planning for the future. With all corridors from Charlotte almost developed, growth will be coming our way. We need to promote good growth. Planning for the growth in
an orderly way so we do the right things. We need to investigate what other cities did right and what they wished they had done differently when growth suddenly overtook their cities. I want to keep the small-town family atmosphere that makes Kings Mountain a great place to live and raise families. PATTY HALL – I think some of the issues that will need to be addressed are repairing and replacing infrastructure, hiring and maintaining qualified employees, finding and maintaining good affordable insurance, and maintaining a high-quality level of public health and public safety to all our citizens. I think the power bills and the added charges have a big impact on citizens also. Many people struggle just to pay them each month. It definitely has an impact on all households! TOMMY HAWKINS – The nation as well as its political and economic vistas continue to change. The city of Kings Mountain faces challenges and requires proven leadership to advance our community forward into the future. Tommy proves his leadership ability not by word but by action. Tommy is a businessman who has made it his mission to always work for the betterment of the city and community. His proven abilities and civic involvement guarantee that he will continue to work hard to successfully move Kings Mountain into a brighter future. However, we need to maintain financial stability through expense and revenue monitoring. We need to retain economically strong even while other forms of government fail to do so. Since Kings Mountain provides insurance for its city employees, the city is at the mercy of the insurance companies and their increasing rates. Currently with rates rising quickly, the city is being forced to pay high premiums for insurance which could cause financial instability in the future. I have a strong vision for Kings Mountain in the upcoming years. I feel that we will be able to increase the number of companies locating to Kings Mountain, which therefore will immensely increase the number of jobs. I think that this is possible for a variety of reasons. The first is our location. We are within a 25-minute d rive to Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, which allows for fast and easy travel to other parts of our country. Yet, Kings Mountain has almost everything one needs in town. Kings Mountain has an amazing school system, a variety of restaurants, retail stores and a highly rated hospital. Kings Mountain is
not only a great place to work but also it is an amazing place to live and raise a family. I plan on incentivizing large companies and corporations to make Kings Mountain their home. CURTIS PRESSLEY – There are no major issues facing Kings Mountain because City Council and I over the past four years have been very proactive. We have planned for the future putting us in a position to grow. We continually address quality of life issues that affect our citizens, like keeping our taxes low and keeping our electric and gas rates competitive. And because we operate our own electric and natural gas systems they support the operation of our city giving us the resources to be able to fund police and fire departments. I’m proud to say during the past four years we are the 36th safest city in North Carolina out of 552 cities. DAVID ALLEN – While many issues face our community, I believe the most pressing issue can be summed up as challenges to our quality of life. The term quality of life encompasses so much of what most of us want in order to live fulfilled lives. In order to maintain this, we must ensure we have adequate resources to secure a safe community to live and work. Of course, that means supporting fire and police, but it goes beyond that to support a strong infrastructure of utilities and transportation systems. It also means our city must be a place where business is supported. A positive business environment, adequate housing, or too little, will always be the greatest challenge to our way of life. My goal would be to involve our citizens and staff, with Council, to ensure that our city maintains and grows in a sustainable manner. This will enable our overall quality of life to be a place people will want to live. This will not just happen. It will take leadership to keep us on a smart, planned path. WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER? MIKE BUTLER – My goals as a city council member are: continue to explore opportunities for business growth; work to maintain the city’s A credit rating; open doors for better communication for the citizens to voice their concerns; better pay and benefits for the city employees; ensure we maintain a high standard of city services; continue to seek no increases in electric, water and gas rates; no property tax increase; and to make decisions on the council that is best
for the citizens of our city. PATTY HALL – My goals are: to help make sure the city is run as cost effective as possible; to help make sure that Departments have what they need to operate efficiently and to stay safe; to help maintain a cost effective yearly budget; to never forget our citizens who are our great City and to help take care of them; if elected to make sure I never forget that being elected is not a right, it is a privilege! And it is a privilege that should never be taken advantage of! TOMMY HAWKINS – To keep our city moving forward for a bright future. A good quality of life for all our citizens. The way we can do this is to keep our utilities as low as possible, maintain good city services, no tax increase, no water rate increase, no waste water increase, no storm water increase, no natural water rate increase, and no increase in city fees. We must listen to every citizen’s concerns and issues and deal with them accordingly. Kings Mountain is on the move, we have a lot of good things happening in Kings Mountain. I want to be a part of this move and continue the betterment of Kings Mountain. I want to thank you for your continued support and please go out and vote Tuesday, Nov. 7. I am the most qualified and the most dependable candidate for Ward 3 city commission CURTIS PRESSLEY – To continue working with ElectriCities of North Carolina to help us with economic development and marketing so that we can continue to lure good paying jobs for our citizens. To provide more outdoor activities for our youth. DAVID ALLEN – My goal is to ensure that the vision for Kings Mountain is a complete one that embraces every aspect of our community’s uniqueness. Our city faces so many possibilities today we need to make sure we know where we are headed. For this to happen, everyone must be welcomed to have a say in that future. This is no small undertaking, as I believe it will require an exceptional effort to bring people into the conversation. I hope to be part of the team of staff, citizens, and council that charts the course so that in the years to come we will know how much we did together as a city and not as an individual.

Allens celebrate 70th wedding anniversary
Donald (Tripp) Jenkins and Michelle Marie Queen
Pair to wed On Nov. 18 ENGAGMENT ANNOUNCED - Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd (Peachey) and Betty Clark are pleased to announce the engagement of their grand-daughter, Michelle Marie Queen, daughter of Mr. Darrell Queen and Mrs. Angela C. Davis, to Donald (Tripp) Jenkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donnie & Pam Jenkins, grandson of Louise B. Kale. The wedding will be an event of November 18, 2017 at El-Bethel United Methodist Church.
Wiley Herndon Allen and Sue DeVeney Allen celebrated 70 years of marriage on October 19, 2017. Their life together began when they met as students at Bethware School around 1944. Back then, they spent their free time with friends going to church at David Baptist Church, and spending some time at The Pit and The Dixie Theatre in Kings Mountain. The couple were engaged to be married by the end of 1946. Their life together as husband and wife began in a ceremony on the Sunday afternoon of October 19th, 1947 at David Baptist Church in Kings Mountain. The groom wore a brown suit with a carnation boutonniere. The bride wore a cream colored suit and an orchid corsage. The church was decorated with pine boughs and baskets filled with flowers. Pastor Oscar Long presided over the ceremony. The church was brimming with friends, family and neighbors. Haywood Allen Jr. (The brother of the groom) and Stowe DeVeney (The brother of the bride) acted as pillars of strength, and stood up for the couple at the ceremony, and friend, Sonny Peeler, sang. The young couple honeymooned in Asheville,
MR AND MRS. WILEY HERNDON ALLEN …on 70th wedding anniversary North Carolina, and returned to Kings Mountain to begin their life as man and wife. Although 70 years have passed, Sue and Wiley Allen are as close as ever. Their love for God, each other, and their extended family, friends and church family at David Baptist has grown with each passing year. The couple celebrated their 70th anniversary on October 21st with immediate family at the home of their daughter, Jean Allen Moore,
in Shelby. They feel blessed beyond measure for the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren God has given to them. Children: Daughter Linda Allen Scism and husband David Scism of Kings Mountain, Son, Joseph (Joe) Allen and his wife Bridget Allen of Kings Mountain, Daughter Jean Allen Moore and her husband Pete Moore of Shelby. Grandchildren: Grand-
daughter, Catherine Moore Ware and husband Lance Ware of Shelby, Granddaughter Kelly Ann Moore of Shelby, Granddaughter Shellie Scism Doubleday and husband Joshua Doubleday of Brattleboro, Vermont, Granddaughter Angela Scism Cavazos and husband Bejamin (Ben) Cavazos of Pompano Beach, Florida. Granddaughters Caroline Allen of Wilmington, AnaFaithe Allen of Kings Mountain, Elise Allen and Lyla Allen of Kings Mountain. Great Grandchildren: Reece Ware, Stockton Ware and Presley Ware of Shelby, and Vivian Cavazos, Noah Cavazos and Daniel Cavazos of Pompano Beach, Florida. When asked what it takes to be married happily for 70 years the couple responded, “We’ve had our spats over the years, but we’ve gotten over them. You have to respect each other and talk things out. It’s supposed to be fifty-fifty. Don’t be one sided. Talk your differences out,” said Wiley Allen. Sue Allen stated, “It is by the grace of God who helped us through thick and thin. We put God first and said a lot of prayers. You have to have forgiveness, and you should support each other and be unselfish.”

Henry Howser House opens November 4th By LORETTA HUSKEY COZART The Brigade of Friends of the Kings Mountain National Military Park announce that the Henry Howser House will be open to the public on Saturday, November 4th from 11 am until 4 pm. This 1803 stone dwelling is only open to the public only two times each year. This is a wonderful opportunity for the public to explore the house and grounds. The grounds are unique because they have tiers for farming, which wasn’t a common feature in farms of that day.
The stone house was built by a Revolutionary War veteran and stonemason Henry Howser. Its thick, sturdy, stone walls convey prosperity and affluence at a time when most were living in log houses. The home remained in the Howser family for several generations and was one of the more prosperous farms in the region. It is now owned by the Kings Mountain National Military Park. The Brigade of Friends will host the open house. Members dress in period clothing and help tell the story of the Howser House.
Story-teller Judy Jones will be at the event and activities for children will be available. The Log Cabin String Band will play from 11 am to 1 pm. The Howser House is not handicap accessible and parking is limited. Visitors may reach the house from Rock House Road, off SC 216 (Battleground Road). Parking is available. A shuttle service from the parking area will be provided to the house. Good walking shoes are recommended. The event is free and open to the public from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday, November 4th.

Brett Butler, professional baseball player. Mark’s interest in electronics began at an early age at his parents’ turkey and cattle farms in the Carolinas: Newberry, SC and Kings Mountain, where he and his family moved in 1966 and Mark entered the 10th grade at KMHS. His parents were visiting a friend who was an amateur ham radio operator. He was talking to a ham in Kentucky and Mark became fascinated with the hobby and was part time radio announcer/ engineer for WKMT Radio in Kings Mountain for years. “When I left Kings Mountain I gave Jonas Bridges (the station owner) my key to the station. When I returned to Kings Mountain he gave me the key back,’’ said Mark. His hobbies are amateur radio and his call sign is WB4UHI, listening to talking books (a service of the Library of Congress for the visually challenged) and walking 2 to 4 miles four times a week at his home in the Dixon Community. Hughes graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 1969 and earned his AAS in Electronic Engineering Technology in 1971 from Gaston College. He received his B. S. in Electronic Technology in 1985 and his Master of Technology in 1986 from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. While in Durant, he was an engineer for the campus radio station and involved with the Baptist Student Union. He has done graduate work in Industrial Education at Clemson University and graduate work in history at Southeastern Hughes was named Faculty Advisor of the Year – Society of Manufacturing Engineers - at Southeastern Oklahoma State in 1988 and nominated for Cleveland (North Carolina) Community College Excellence in Teaching award five
times. In addition, he taught at Orangeburg-Calhoun (South Carolina) Technical College and Southeastern (adjunct in 1984-85). His wife, who he married Dec. 18, 1970, worked for Southeastern Oklahoma State University’s food service while he attended college. Mark said his wife encouraged him to return to college to get his degrees. Mrs. Hughes is employed by the Cleveland County School’s Child Nutrition Department and works at Kings Mountain Middle School. Their daughter, Anna Grace Hughes, is a teacher’s assistant and bus driver at North Elementary School in Kings Mountain. “Since I no longer see well enough to drive Anna and Patty are my drivers and research assistants,’’ said Mark. Hughes’ 2009 book, ‘’The New Civil War Handbook: Facts and Photos for Readers of All Ages,’’ has been called a long overdue update of a classic. Scheduled to be published in December 2017 is “Confederate Soldiers in the American Civil War: facts and Photos for Readers of All Ages.” His other works have included “Confederate Cemeteries Volume 1 in 2002 and volume 2 in 2003; the ‘’Unpublished Roll of Honor in 1996,’’ ‘Bivouac of the Dead” in 1995 and’’ Introduction to the Roll of Honor and Place Index to the Roll of Honor in 1995.’’ In addition, he has written articles on a variety of subjects for a number of magazines. He is the only author to publish books on both Union and Confederate Civil War cemeteries. During his research work he and his family have traveled to cemeteries all over the country. Mark is the son of Clara Humphries Hughes of the Dixon Community and the late Sidney Jackson (Jack) Hughes and he has a sister, Beth Hughes McDaniel, who resides with her husband and family in the Dixon Community.

“Gateway to the South” winning art Spivey’s photos of Ric Flair on display by Southern Arts Society In documentary Tuesday night James L. Normam. Alex Pietersen and Rosie Little were the big winners in the recent “Gateways to the South” art competition and exhibit at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain. The prize-winning oils and photograph will be on display, along with other exhibits, in the Galleries of Southern Arts Society through Nov. 20. Judge for the exhibit was Leah Mulligan Cabinum, Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC. Norman’s oil painting, “Family Visit” was “a simple, yet sophisticated and powerful composition,’’ according to the judge who gave him the blue ribbon. “This is a lovely marriage between formal aesthetics and humanity. It is honest. It gets under the skin and scratches at the soul. Bravo.” Alex Pietersen’s photo “Transpose” exemplified the perfect gateway into the South, according to the judge. “It is a clever and unique display capturing the essence of what it is to be truly Southern. This exhibit earned a red ribbon. Third place and a yellow ribbon went to Rosie Little for her oil painting, “Heron.” Cabinum said “the use of color and texture creates balance and unifies this piece, capturing the varied hues found in Southern landscapes.” Merit awards went to Martha Moore for her acrylic painting, “Cypress Knees,” Jennifer Myers Kirton for her ink drawing “Illusions of a Pineapple” and to Marie McDow for her oil painting, “The South.” Southern Arts Society Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Ave. in the historic Southern Railway Depot. There is no admission charge to view ongoing exhibits Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Thursday night to see the film and attend a reception at Regal Cinema and have her picture made with Flair who was there for the first showing of the film with his fiancée Wendy Barlow. Flair, who has been hospitalized, is much improved, according to Sheree, and gaining some of his lost weight. The retired wrestler was in this area with Jim Crockett Productions and wrestled also in Charlotte and Asheville.
Flair, 66, called Sheree after he saw 248 pictures she had posted on Facebook and signed a contract to buy 16 for the film. “His whole life, good and bad, is presented in the film from his adoption as a baby to his family of four children, death of a son in 2013, and his popularity as one of “The Four Horsemen’’, said Sheree.

But for one of the industry’s most legendary performers, there’s never been any separation between the ring and the world around it. His story starts in the Midwest, when a young Richard Fliehr sets his sights on rising to stardom in a unique world and decided to do anything necessary to get to where he wanted. A character was born, along with a singular desire “to be the man” and a drive that made him as popular and polarizing as any figure ever to step into the ring. “It’s really worth watching for 75 minutes,’’ says Sherri, who drove to Atlanta,

IT’S CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK Crest at KMMS today KMHS at Crest Friday Kings Mountain Middle’s football will be going for an unprecedented third straight Tri-County Conference championship Wednesday at 5 p.m. at John Gamble Stadium. Undefeated Crest, winner of the Western Division, will be the opponent for the Patriots who won the Eastern Division and defeated West runner-up East Rutherford 34-18 in the opening
round of the conference playoffs Wednesday at home. Crest defeated the Eastern Division runner-up North Lincoln in overtime to advance to the title game. Kings Mountain has won three championships in Tim Gunn’s six years as head coach. The Patriots defeated Crest two years ago and Shelby last year. The Patriots battled back
from early deficits of 6-0 and 12-6 last week. The East defense stopped the Patriots on a fourth and three running attempt at the Patriots’ 45 yard line and four plays later quarterback Grant Logan hit Jabar Mayse with a 20-yard touchdown pass. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, the Patriots answered with a 48-yard touchdown run around left end by Rashaard Brooks,
Coach Greg Lloyd and the Mountaineers know that the most important game of the season is the one coming up, and they will have to be at the top of their game. Kings Mountain goes into the game with a 6-0 conference and 10-1 ovearll record. Crest is 5-1 in the conference, having lost an overtime game to Hunter Huss earlier in the year. The last several weeks
the Chargers have shown much improvement and now appear to be just as strong as some of the Crest teams that have been competing for state championships over the past several years. Kings Mountain defeated the Chargers 21-19 last year to break a losing streak that dates back to 1998, the year the Mountaineers played for the state championship. Coach Lloyd, a former Crest
player and coach, wants his Mountaineers to get backto-back wins against his alma mater. The Mountaineers know this will be their toughest game of the year. “Crest has a very good ball team,” says Lloyd. “They are steadily improving as the year goes on. They’re an excellent team.” The Chargers dropped See KM-CREST, Page 2B

In the semi-finals Saturday Lutz morning, the defeated Catie Nelson and Lizzy Fiepke of Charlotte Catholic 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 for a shot at defending their championship from a year ago. Mountaineer coach Rick Henderson said the “emotion and mental and physical fatigue” from the semi-finals match with the heavily favored Catholic duo wore them down. Frye and Lutz had little trouble in their first two rounds Friday, and started off with a bang in their match with the talented Catholic players Saturday morning. The KM pair was up against one of the strongest teams they’ve faced during their two years together, and won the first set 6-2. They had some unforced errors against the aggressive Charlotte team and fell in the second set 6-2. Lutz and Frye started slowly in the third set but the momentum shifted and they See LUTZ, FRYE, Page 4B

Mack scores four TDs, Paysour big on O and D Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers scored on their first eight possessions to roll over Forestview 63-7 and clinch at least a tie for the Big South 3A Conference championship in their final regular season home game Friday at John Gamble Stadium. Every phase of the Mountaineers game – offense, defense and special teams – took part in the scoring. Freshman wide receiver Kobe Paysour had a breakout performance He touched the ball five times, scoring two touchdowns, intercepting two passes and catching three passes for 161 yards. Senior Reese Reinhardt made one of the most unusual plays – maybe the first of its type in KM football history – when he caught a short punt off the foot of the Forestview kicker and rambled 16 yards for a touchdown. The play occurred midway of the second quarter when the Jaguars were facing a fourth and 21 at their own 49 yard line. The snap sailed high over the punter’s head and he raced back to try to recover the ball.
He did, but when he turned to punt Reinhardt was bearing down on him and the kick went right into Reinhardt’s hands and he raced ahead of everybody on the field to give the Mountaineers a 49-7 lead. The 63 points were the most points scored by either the Mountaineers or Jaguars in their hotly-contested series that began in the Jaguars first year of varsity football in 1999. Both teams have posted victories in the 40s, but never did one dominate the other like what the fans saw on the Mountaineers’ Senior Night. “We got off to a really good start,” said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “I was proud of how well we moved the ball. We got some momentum going early and good defense right from the beginning. “The guys were ready to play and played well in all three phases. I was pleased with the effort all the way around. It was as good a first half as we’ve had in a long time.” Mountaineer sophomore running star Ricaylen Mack scored See KM-FORESTVIEW, Page 2B

KM-CREST From Page 1A Some tough losses early in the year, but they were to perennial powers like Shelby and South Point. One of their victories was over the defending state 3A champion, Weddington. Since the loss to Hunter Huss, the Chargers have dominated their opponents. They beat county rival Burns last week 56-8 and at this point is the highest
scoring team in the Big South. “They’re playing real good,” said Coach Lloyd. “They’ve done a good job all year and the offense is coming around now. They’re playing disciplined, tough football. They’re definitely playing their best right now.” Lloyd is confident his Mountaineers will also be at top form. “We’ve got to play solid in all three phases of the game,” he said. “We have to eliminate their big plays.
Wednesday, November 1, 2017 We have to tackle well. “Offensively, it would be nice to win time of possession and keep them off the field. They are very explosive. We have to do a good job of kicking the ball and covering kicks. We have to win the field position battle.” Lloyd is confident his players will give their very best. “We realize it’s a good accomplishment to be 6-0 in this tough of a conference,” he said. “We also know if they beat us we will
share the conference. The winner gets the high seed, so there’s a lot riding on this game. It will be a dogfight.” Playing for the championship on the last game of the conference season will attract a huge crowd from both schools. “I think everybody in the Big South wanted a schedule that would have natural rivalries on the final night,” Lloyd said. “It’s nice to have a big county rivalry to end the regular season, and it’s special when it’s for first place.”

four rushing touchdowns, running his season total to 122 points. He carried all three times on the Mountaineers’ opening touchdown drive of 45 yards for a 7-0 lead just one minute and 26 seconds into the game. Micah Randall put the ensuing kickoff into the end zone for a touchback, and two plays later Paysour intercepted a Jake Lee pass and rambled untouched 36 yards to put the Mountaineers up 14-0. Forestview rallied briefly, covering 80 yards in just two plays to score on a 47-yard pass from Jake Lee to Kyra Peterkin. Lee set it up with a 33-yard keeper up the middle, but those two plays represented almost half of the visitors’ offensive output. Forestview gave KM fans a few anxious moments, when their Anthony Nance fell on a Reinhardt fumble on the ensuing kickoff. They ended up turning the ball over on downs at the KM 33 after back-toback tackles for loss for a combined 12 yards by James Ussery and Nathan Lease. Kings Mountain began its blowout when Kaylon Wade threw a quick out to Paysour, who sidestepped the Jaguars’ defender and rambled 67 yards for his first receiving TD of his young career. That 21-7 lead ballooned to 56-7 by halftime and the entire second half was played under a running clock. Mack scored from 14 yards out to run the score to 28-7 at the end of the first quarter, and Paysour caught a screen and rambled 61 yards to the Forestview five on the first play of the second period. Mack followed that with his third touchdown run for a 35-7 advantage. Yet another Mack TD run of six yards at the 7:11 mark of the second period ran the score to 42-7, Reinhardt followed that five plays later with his TD. Qua Brooks put the Mountaineers over the 50-mark with a two-yard touchdown run with 21 seconds left in the half, and the Mountaineer starters left the game to rest up for this week’s clash with Crest. Another high snap by the Forestview long snapper resulted in a 29 yard loss that gave the Mountaineers possession at the Jaguars 12 in the final seconds of the third quarter. Four plays later Seth Bishop scored

A host of reserves played very well for the Mountaineers, including Bishop, Joe Ruffalo, Zach Crawford, Logan Collins, Nathan Groves, Isaac Watson, Josh Phillips, Belton Pressley, and Robert Lipscomb. “I’m glad everybody got some playing time,” Lloyd said. “Our substitutes put in a lot of hard work and deserve a chance to play. They did a good job and played hard. “Kobe Paysour had a great game,” he added, “and so did Reese Reinhardt. The offensive line had one of its best efforts of the season. All five of them played great. “It was really a good team effort. Our senior night was a big success. I was happy to see the way everybody contributed.”
Kobe Paysour is going to the house after a reception in Friday’s win over Forestview. Jaguars pursuing are Anthony Nance (22) and Kyra Peterkin (27).

Luke Bishop is wide open in Kings Mountain’s 50-7 win over the Forestview JVs Thursday night in Gastonia.
JVs rout Forestview 50-7 Kings Mountain drove the opening kickoff 36 yards for a touchdown and rolled to a 50-7 victory over Forestview in JV action Thursday night in Gastonia. After Logan Patrick returned the opening kickoff 24 yards to the Jaguars’ 36, Luke Bishop rambled around left end for a 16 yard gain and three plays later Laz Welch went around the right side for a 13-yard touchdown. Belton Pressley hit Bryce Fisher with a two-point conversion pass and an 8-0 lead that ballooned to 36-0 by halftime. The Mountaineers scored on all five of their first half possessions and reserves played much of the second half. After the KM defense
held Forestview to three and out on its first possession, it took just five plays to cover 55 yards with quarterback Belton Pressley going 24 yards on a keeper. Welch ran the two-point conversion for a 16-0 lead. Bishop returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown to give the Patriots a 22-0 lead after one quarter. After another Forestview three and out, the Mountaineers drove 50 yards in six plays with Patrick scoring from the 10 for a 28-0 lead. Patrick scored again on a 19-yard run, and also ran for the two-point conversion to give the Mountaineers a 36-0 lead with 3:37 left in the half. The drive covered 46 yards in a minute and nine seconds.
Cross country ends season Kings Mountain High’s cross country teams wrapped up their 2017 season Saturday in the 3A Western Regional meet at McAlpine Creek Park.

Abigail Lineberry was 124th in 26:12.38, Brooke Clark 127th in 26:20.74; Zahra Roberts 129th in 26:36.18,
Belle Hollifield 144th in 30:31.41 and Brooklynn Forester 146th in 33:16. Dane Skeith led the Mountaineers with an 18:30 time, which placed him 84th in an extremely competitive field. Other KM runners were Caleb Barnes, 98th in 18:52.36, Jalen Roberts 115th in 19:39.29, Jake Stacey 120th in 19:51.32, Dallin Campbell 133rd in 20:11.78, Jesse Hughes 140th in 20:28.04 and Don Crocker 141st in 20:32.50.

tum switched a couple times during the first three games or so and then East Chapel Hill took a lead during the first set and eventually numerous unforced errors led to their victory. “As for the second set it became a power and finesse game as both teams were delivering unbelievable shots from the baseline as well as the net. In the end, we were just outplayed by a more consistent team and eventually were defeated to end the hopes of a two-year stint of being state champions.” The loss was the first for Lutz and Frye in their two year stint as doubles partners. They now have an overall record of 36-1. “The record of what Lutz

The match took a lot out of Lutz and Frye, though, as the East Chapel Hill team of Bright and Joksimovic had easily won their semi-final bout against Nele Steffens and Riya Vasa of Weddington 6-0, 6-1. “During the first couple of games nerves seemed to settle in on both teams,” Henderson said. “The momen-

The TD was set up with Bishop’s 21-yard run on an end around. Forestview rallied briefly by driving the second half kickoff from its own 25 to the KM seven. But KM’s Robert Lipscomb put a stop to that with a fumble recovery. The Mountaineers covered 75 yards in just two plays, with reserve quarterback Blake Emory keeping for 20 yards and Welch covering the final 55 for the TD and a 42-0 lead. Zack Crawford ran the two-point conversion to make it 44-0. That put the running clock rule into effect with four minutes left in the third period. The Jaguars rallied to cut the lead to 44-7, but KM moved 60 yards in just four
plays to round out the scoring. Facing third and eight at their own 42, reserve QB Titus Phillips went around right end for 48 yards to the Forestview 20, and Emory came back on the field and covered the final 20 on a sweep around left end. Welch finished the game with 105 yards rushing, Emory added 45 yards and Patrick 37. Kings Mountain played outstanding defense, led by Lipscomb, Titus Clark, Zack Crawford, Dylan Mullins and Parker Fleming. The Mountaineers improved to 5-1 against Big South Conference schools and 7-2 overall. They close out their season Thursday at 7 p.m. at home against Crest.
Trailblazers win their way to Myrtle Beach for championship All three Kings Mountain Elite Trailblazers football teams will be going to Myrtle Beach Saturday to play for the Southland United championship. All three won their semifinals matches last week at John Gamble Stadium. The 7U team defeated the Statesville PowerCross 28-6 as Cayden Smith ran the ball four times for 73 yards and a touchdown. Cam Houser scored on and Frye have displayed over the last couple of years is without a doubt a record that will not be broken for years and possibly decades to come,” Henderson said. “I feel it was the emotion, mental and physical fatigue that took place in the semifinal match against the heavily favored Charlotte Catholic duo and that’s what wore down Natalie and Madelynn. “Our top two players have shown all along that they belong as some of the elite players in the state of North Carolina. I can assure you that during their off-season they will work hard and I look for them to contend for another state championship in doubles.”

one out, but the Patriots couldn’t push the run across. After a one-out walk put a runner on first for RS in the bottom of the eighth, a misplayed ball in the outfield allowed the runner to score and give RS a walk-off win. Byers and Dixon led the Patriots at the plate with two hits each. Kaylee Carroll also had a hit. Kings Mountain finished the season with a 10-3 conference and 10-4 overall record.

When Will Medicaid Pay for Nursing Home Care? Dear Savvy Senior, What are the eligibility requirements to get Medicaid coverage for nursing home care? Caregiving Daughter
their state. Most states require that a person have no more than about $2,000 in countable assets that includes cash, savings, investments or other financial resources that can be turned into cash.
Dear Caregiving, The rules and requirements for Medicaid eligibility for nursing home care are complicated and will vary according to the state where your parent lives. With that said, here’s a general, simplified rundown of what it takes to qualify.
Assets that aren’t counted for eligibility include their home if it’s valued under $560,000 (this limit is higher – up to $840,000 – in some states), their personal possessions and household goods, one vehicle, prepaid funeral plans and a small amount of life insurance.
Medicaid Eligibility Medicaid, the joint federal and state program that covers health care for the poor, is also the largest single payer of America’s nursing home bills for seniors who don’t have the resources to pay for their own care.
But be aware that while your parent’s home is not considered a countable asset to determine their eligibility, if he or she can’t return home, Medicaid can go after the proceeds of their house to help reimburse their nursing home costs, unless a spouse or other dependent relative lives there. (There are some other exceptions to this rule.)
Most people who enter nursing homes don’t qualify for Medicaid at first, but pay for care either through long-term care insurance or out-of-pocket until they deplete their savings and become eligible for Medicaid. To qualify for Medicaid, your parent’s income and assets will need to be under a certain level that’s determined by
After qualifying, all sources of your parent’s income such as Social Security and pension checks must be turned over to Medicaid to pay for their care, except for a small personal needs allowance – usually between $30 and $90.
You also need to be aware that your parent can’t give away their assets to qualify for Medicaid faster. Medicaid officials will look at their financial records going back five years to root out suspicious asset transfers. If they find one, their Medicaid coverage will be delayed a certain length of time, according to a formula that divides the transfer amount by the average monthly cost of nursing home care in their state. So if, for example, your parent lives in a state where the average monthly nursing home cost is $5,000 and they gave away cash or other assets worth $50,000, they would be ineligible for benefits for 10 months ($50,000 divided by $5,000 = 10). Spousal Protection Medicaid also has special rules for married couples when one spouse enters a nursing home and the other spouse remains at home. In these cases, the healthy spouse can keep one half of the couple’s assets up to $120,900 (this amount varies by state), the family home, all the furniture and household goods and one automobile. The healthy spouse is also entitled to keep a portion
of the couple’s monthly income – between $2,030 and $3,022. Any income above that goes toward the cost of the nursing home recipient’s care. What about Medicare? Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors 65 and older, and some younger people with disabilities, does not pay for long-term care. It only helps pay up to 100 days of rehabilitative nursing home care, which must occur after a hospital stay. Find Help For more detailed information, contact your state Medicaid office (see Medicaid.gov for contact information). You can also get help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see ShiptaCenter.org), which provides free counseling on all Medicare and Medicaid issues.

KMHS Choral Students at GWU Choral Clinic
SUITED UP - Mayor Scott Neisler dresses up in some of the armor at the new Premier Armor in downtown Kings Mountain. Frank Stewart held open house at his new business Saturday.
pus. Kings Mountain (N.C.) High School was one of 17 high schools at the event. Attending with director, Sarah Fulton, were Lanya Adams, Austin Brown, Samara Cole, Chance Cummings, Makayla McCurry, Donald Lee Page, D’Asia Seright and Ke’Shawn Strong. “We participate in the
Gardner Webb Choral Clinic because it gives students a chance to sing with likeminded peers throughout North Carolina,” Fulton noted. “The clinicians for the clinic are always top notch. My students enjoy being able to sing all day and have fun with their friends and students from other schools.” Dr. Philip Copeland, di-
rector of choral activities and associate professor at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., was guest clinician.

The most important job of a community is to educate its children. I am proud that I have spent over 40 years as an educator in Cleveland County (mostly in Kings Mountain). I have served as a teacher, principal, and school board member. Cleveland County can be proud of its schools. We have an outstanding staff. Our teachers, assistants, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians, secretaries, nurses, maintenance workers, resource officers and administrators all work hard to provide an excellent learning experience for our students. We have good, well maintained facilities. We have excellent community support with many community groups, churches, businesses, school PTO's, Booster Clubs and individuals working hard to support our schools. Our students are learning. High school dropouts are down. Many more of our students are going on to college, into the military, or into good paying jobs. Our school system is doing a good job in spite of declining support per student from the state. We have been blessed with excellent leadership from our superintendent and School Board.
