Church offers house To Sharpe family The Sharpe family of Kings Mountain will soon move into the parsonage of Ross Grove Baptist Church in Shelby. Rev. Marcus McGill and his congregation have offered Florence and Michael Sharpe and their six children the use of the parsonage rent free for a month. Meantime, the family has been staying at Comfort Inn since their house on El Bethel Road burned Jan. 24. The Kings Mountain community and many people all over the county have rallied to help the Sharpes who lost everything in the early morning fire. Michael Sharpe was preparing to go to work and turned a ceramic space heater on and the breaker blew.

In addition to a GoFundMe page, monetary donations to the Sharpes can be sent in care of Ross Grove Baptist Church, 1225 Fallston Road, Shelby, NC 28150. The family also needs furniture. The church telephone number is 704-4826051. KMPD Officer Jason Dee is heading up a collection drive for gift cards to help the family out when they get settled.

■ MEDITATION
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1 I can still remember learning to ride my purple bike without training wheels. Let me begin my story with stating that Rev. I never reJill Rhinehart ally wanted Pastor Central United to take the Methodist Church training wheels off my bike. Personally, I saw no benefit to learning to ride my bike without training wheels. I could go wherever I wanted to go on my bike without ever worrying about falling over.
My training wheels were just fine where they were and we had a great relationship. I kept them on my bike and they protected me from possible damage to my body. My parents had another idea. They knew that I would be better off learning to ride a bike without training wheels. They knew that learning to ride a bike without training wheels was also a life lesson. It was a lesson of finding or discovering the balance within ourselves that is needed. They knew that it was a step to independence, self-confidence, and a lesson of working hard
to reach a goal. I was not convinced. One Saturday morning as I pouted, my father took the training wheels off my bike. We lived on a dead end road so it was the perfect location to try and learn to ride my bike. With great trepidation I crawled onto my bike as my father held me in place. He coached me about how to keep my balance, steer, peddle, and stop, of course, without falling over. With each extreme felled attempt, I wanted to stop. I just didn’t believe I could do it. I even begged for my training wheels to be put back on my bike. Eventually, I got better and better at balancing as my
dad ran beside of me holding on. I was terrified though when he would let go. I wobbled and swayed and sometimes even fell over but my parents put me back on that bike and refused to let me stop. After several attempts and cheers now from my father and mother, my father let go of the bike one last time and I remember finally achieving the skill to ride a bike without training wheels. I was so very proud of myself for what I had accomplished. I had learned a new skill that gave me the gift of independence and courage. Life is a lot like riding a bike. We have to find our own
place of balance. As much as we may want to ride around with training wheels we know deep inside that we really need to take off the wheels and learn a new skill. Balance in life can be a great challenge for many of us to discover. We are fine as long as someone is holding the bike for us. We beg them to not let go! But in the end we can never find the balance within ourselves until we continue to attempt, at least, to balance, steer, peddle, and stop by ourselves. There are those who will cheer us on but the greatest gift is the independence and self-confidence we feel for not giving up.

Football banquet Thursday
KM clinches at least tie for BS title
Kings Mountain High’s Big South 3A Conference football team will be recognized at an awards banquet Thursday, February 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center on East King Street, Kings Mountain. A meal will be served prior to the awards ceremony. The public is invited. Donations will be accepted to help pay for renting the building and buying food. The Mountaineers are coming off one of their best seasons in history, going 12-2 overall and running through the rugged Big South Conference with a perfect record. Their only losses came to five-time state champion Shelby in a non-conference game and to Concord’s Jay M. Robinson in the Western Regional semi-finals. Both losses came in overtime. The seniors on this year’s team had one of the best won-loss records in school history with 32 victories from 2015-2017.
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers clinched at least a tie for the Big South 3A Conference championship Friday night with a 90-40 victory at Burns. The win over the Bulldogs gave the Mountaineers an 11-1 conference record and two game lead heading into the final two games of the regular season. Kings Mountain was playing at Forestview last night and a win there would sew up the championship and top Big South seed for the upcoming conference and state tournaments. Hunter Huss and North Gaston, both 9-3 in the conference, are the only teams left with a shot at tying the Mountaineers. The Huskies kept pace Friday with a win over Forestview and North Gaston stayed in contention with a win over Crest, but Ashbrook, which had been tied for second, was upset by Stuart Cramer 82-76 and is no longer in the running. The Mountaineers close out their regular season at home Friday against their other Cleveland County rival, Crest, but will be at home next week for Big South Conference tournament games. Kings Mountain’s girls made it a sweep in the opener, defeating the Lady Bulldogs 72-63 for their fourth win in 12 Big South games. The Lady Mountaineers went into last night’s game at Forestview with a 4-8 record and tied with Stuart Cramer for fifth place in the eight-team league. The Mountaineers had

Toms won the 55 meter dash and anchored the winning 4x200 meter relay team. Thai Tuttanon also came away with two medals, including first in the long jump and second in the triple jump. While most of the Mountaineers finished their season, seven will advance to the Indoor Track State Meet February 9 at JDL Fast Track Complex in Winston-Salem. They include: -Toms in the men’s 55m dash and 4x200m relay. -Tuttanon in the men’s long jump and triple jump. -Alexis Browning, women’s pole vault. -Kaleb Estridge, men’s pole vault. -Shyrone Reid, men’s 4x200m relay. -Don Crocker, men’s 4x200m relay.

Whew! Mountaineers edge Ashbrook 62-60 The three pointers had been falling all night for the Ashbrook Green Wave, but the one at the final buzzer bounded off the rim and Kings Mountain escaped with a very important 62-60 win over the Gastonia visitors in a Big South Conference basketball game Tuesday night at Parker Gym. The win put all other league contenders – Ashbrook, Hunter Huss and North Gaston – a full two games behind the Mountaineers heading into the final three games of the season. Kings Mountain junior Zeke Littlejohn hit a layup off an assist from Adrian Delph to break a 60-all tie with 22 seconds remaining. Seconds later KM’s Dontavius Hughes stole the ball and passed to Eli Paysour under the basket for what appeared to be an easy lay-up, but Ashbrook star Cameron June came from out of nowhere to block the shot. With just 4.4 seconds left June threw a three-quarter court pass to teammate Bryon Sanders but his long shot from beyond the arc bounded off the rim as the final horn sounded. Up until that point the
KM to host BSC games next week Kings Mountain’s boys basketball team will host at least one Big South Conference tournament game, and possibly more next week. On Monday, Feb. 12 the Mountaineers will definitely be at home for a fist round game at 6 p.m. The opponent will not be known until the completion of the regular season Friday night. If the Mountaineers end the season as conference champions and win their first round game they will also host semi-finals games on Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. and 7:30; and if they win then they will host the tournament championship games at 6 and 7:30 on Fri., Feb. 16. If the Mountaineers win the BSC they will go into the state 3A playoffs as one of the top Western 3A seeds and host at least one home game and possibly more. little trouble with the last place Bulldogs, who are going into the final week of the season with no conference wins. KM built a 49-25 halftime lead and coasted to victory. Adrian Delph led the Mountaineer assault with See BURNS-KM, Page 3B
BIG SOUTH 3A BASKETBALL STANDINGS (Through Friday)
Dontavius Hughes lays it up for the Mountaineers in last week’s win over Ashbrook. Green Wave had connected on 10 of 18 three-point attempts including seven from June who wound up as the game’s leading scorer with 32 points. Ashbrook led most of the first half as Kings Mountain’s top scorer, Delph, sat on the bench with two early fouls. June’s three from the corner gave the Wave a 19-12 lead at the end of the first period and they held a 31-28 lead
with a minute left in the half. Jerdon Pressley, who came off the bench to help the Mountaineers inside, muscled his way to a basket that cut the margin to 31-30 with 49 seconds left, then added a pair of free throws with 14 seconds remaining to put the Mountaineers on top 32-31. Zeke Littlejohn’s steal and lay-up sent the Mountaineers into halftime

KM Patriots win 2 of 3 in push for TC playoffs Kings Mountain Middle School’s boys won two of three games last week to stay in the thick of the battle for the Tri-County East Division championship and a berth in the overall conference championship tournament. The Patriots followed up their only division loss to North Lincoln Monday (6957) by defeating West Lincoln 53-42 last Tuesday. On Thursday they whipped East Lincoln 48-37 to move into sole possession of second place.

East Lincoln regained the lead in the second period with a 4-0 run but KM answered with a 7-2 run for a one-point lead. The half ended 17-all. KM up its tempo with a 3-2 zone in the third period, holding East to just one point for the first five minutes.

with a 34-31 lead. Delph re-entered the game to start the third quarter and provided a threepointer and then a slam dunk to widen the lead to 39-31. Delph’s three and a free throw by Eli Paysour widened the margin to 50-41 with two minutes left. But, the Green Wave rallied again and June’s three from the corner cut the difference to 53-49 going into the final quarter. Paysour’s free throw at the 7:43 mark put KM up 54-49 but the Mountaineers would then go almost four minutes without scoring. Ashbrook battled back to tie the game at 54-all at the 4:50 mark, but the Green Wave’s production wasn’t that great either and the game was still tied at 54 when Paysour scored off an assist from John Harmon Melton to give the Mountaineers a 56-54 lead with 2:57 remaining. After another bucket by Paysour, who scored seven of KM”s nine fourth quarter points to finish as
the Mountaineers’ leading scorer with 19, put the home team up 58-54, June canned another three to cut the margin to 58-57 with 1:15 left. Paysour scored off an assist from Delph to make it 60-57 with 36 seconds left, but June came right down court and gunned another three from the corner to tie the game at 60 and set the stage for Littlejohn’s game winning basket. Littlejohn contributed 17 points to the winning cause, and despite his lack of playing time Delph had 11. Eli Paysour had nine rebounds and four assists to go with his 19 points and Kobe Paysour and Delph added six boards apiece. The Green Wave finished with an overall shooting percentage of 42 percent but it was the threepoint shooting of June that kept the game close. KM hit only 6 of 17 from beyond the arc with Delph getting three, Littlejohn two and Eli Paysour one. Kings Mountain hit 10 of 15 from the foul line and
Ashbrook 8 of 13. In the girls game, the undefeated Ashbrook ladies had little trouble defeating the Mountaineers 82-40. KM stayed within striking distance in the first half as Hannah Clark scored 13 of her 15 points. The Green Wave went into halftime up 41-25 and blew the game open in the third quarter by outscoring KM 24-8. Trinity Jones scored 22 points as the Lady Green Wave improved to 20-0. Clark had 15 and Niya Kelly 13 for KM. GIRLS GAME KM (40) – Drennan 3, Clark 15, Kelly 13, Rhodes 8, Barnes 1.

Become an official and stay connected to school sports By Bob Gardner, Executive Director of the National Federation of State High School Associations and Que Tucker, Commissioner of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.
They don’t make the headlines, their names are not in the box scores and they don’t make the allstar teams, but perhaps the most important individuals in high school sports are the contest officials. These individuals are so important that, in fact, there would be no organized competitive sports at the high school level without the men and women who officiate these contests every day across the country. Subtract the dedicated men and women who officiate high school sports and competitive sports would no longer be organized; they would be chaotic. In some areas, high school officials are retiring faster than new licenses are being issued. And ju-
nior varsity, freshmen and middle school games are being postponed – or even cancelled – because there are not enough men and women to officiate them. Anyone looking for a unique way to contribute to the local community should consider becoming a licensed high school official. For individuals who played sports in high school, officiating is a great way to stay close to the sport after their playing days have ended. Officiating helps people stay in shape, expands their social and professional network and offers part-time work that is flexible, yet pays. In fact, officiating is a form of community service, but with compensation. Another benefit of officiating is that individuals become role models so that teenagers in the community can learn the life lessons that high school sports teach. Students learn to respect their opponents and the rules of the game and the importance
of practicing good sportsmanship thanks, in part, to those men and women who officiate. And the objectivity and integrity that high school officials display is an example that every young person needs to observe firsthand. In short, communities around the country will be stronger because of the life lessons that high school officials help teach the next generation. Officiating is a great way to stay connected to sports and to give back to the local high school and community. We need dedicated men and women to become involved so that high school sports can continue to prosper for years to come. Individuals interested in learning more about becoming a high school official, and even begin the application process, can do so at www.HighSchoolOfficials.com.

Income Tax Filing Requirements for Retirees Dear Savvy Senior, What are the IRS income tax filing requirements for seniors this year? I didn’t file a tax return the past two years because my income was below the filing requirements, but I got a parttime job late last year, so I’m wondering if I’m required to file this year. Part-time Retiree Dear Part-time, Whether or not you are required to file a federal income tax return this year will depend on how much you earned last year (in 2017), and the source of that income, as well as your age and filing status. Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s (2017) IRS tax filing requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2017 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefits, unless you are married and filing separately – was below the threshold for your filing status and age, you probably won’t have to file. But if it’s over, you will. • Single: $10,400 ($11,950 if you’re 65
or older by Jan. 1, 2018). • Married filing jointly: $20,800 ($22,050 if you or your spouse is 65 or older; or $23,300 if you’re both over 65). • Married filing separately: $4,050 at any age. • Head of household: $13,400 ($14,950 if age 65 or older). • Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child: $16,750 ($18,000 if age 65 or older).
$25,000 (or $32,000 if you are married filing jointly), you’ll probably need to file.
To get a detailed breakdown on federal filing requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “Tax Guide for Seniors” (publication 554), or see IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p554.pdf.
You can access this tool at IRS.gov/filing – click on the “Do I Need to File?” button. Or, you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. You can also get face-toface help at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. See IRS.gov/localcontacts or call 800-829-1040 to locate a center near you.
Check Here Too There are other financial situations that can require you to file a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS filing requirement. For example, if you had earnings from self-employment in 2017 of $400 or more, or if you’re receiving Social Security benefits and half your benefits plus all other income, including tax-exempt interest, exceeds
To figure this out, the IRS offers an interactive tax assistant tool on their website that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to file, or if you should file because you’re due a refund. It takes less than 15 minutes to complete.
Check Your State Even if you’re not required to file a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from filing state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very different. Check with your state tax agency before concluding that you’re entirely in the clear. For links
to state tax agencies see Taxadmin.org/ state-tax-agencies. Tax Preparation Help If you find that you do need to file a tax return this year, you can get help through the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE) program. Sponsored by the IRS, TEC provides free tax preparation and counseling to middle and low-income taxpayers, age 60 and older. Call 800906-9887 or visit IRS.treasury.gov/freetaxprep to locate a service near you. Also check with AARP, a participant in the TCE program that provides free tax preparation at around 5,000 sites nationwide. To locate an AARP Tax-Aide site call 888-227-7669 or visit AARP. org/findtaxhelp. You don’t have to be an AARP member to use this service. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Is My Food Safe To Eat, Or Should I Toss It The Bessemer City Parks and Recreation’s Senior Services division held a workshop on food safety and expiration dates Thursday, January 25th. Over 5,000 people die a year as a result of food borne illness. Food borne illness is the transmission of bacteria to people through their food. When it comes to your food safety, never rely on sight and smell alone. Instead you should pay close attention to the dates on your food and the
temperature in your refrigerator. The bacteria in spoiled food can survive for weeks at a time, meaning you can become ill up to six weeks after initial contact. So consider using these tips to ensure healthy food safety. After a trip to the grocery store, be sure to refrigerate all items within two hours if the temperature is 90 °F or below, and one hour when the temperature is above 90 °F. Place your milk container in the refrigerator and not on the door, label your
left overs and never keep them more than three days. Did you make too much? Consider freezing your left overs for next week. The “sell by” date on a package is not the expiration date. It simply means that the item should be replaced for display purposes. Generally, you have three to five days after the “sell by” date for maximum food quality and safety. However, you should consume or throw away items with a printed “expiration” date by that day.
