Cleveland not the healthiest

Rankings are up With a ranking of 1 indicating the healthiest county and a ranking of 100 indicating the least healthy county in North Carolina, Cleveland County received an overall ranking of 81 in health outcomes, a slight improvement from the ranking of 82 in 2017.

DeShay Oliver, Public Information Officer for the Cleveland County Public Health Center, said one of the biggest areas of improvement is in the category of length of life, improving from a ranking of 89 in 2017 to 82 in

2018. This improvement, she said, is largely due to a decrease in the county’s premature death rate, defined as years of potential life lost between age 75 per 100,000 population, decreasing from a rate of 10,200 in 2017 to 9700 in 2018. This decrease could be attributed to a decrease in the number of unintentional medication and drug overdose deaths. However, despite this decrease, drug overdose remains the single leading cause of premature deaths among Americans ages 25-44 and continues to be an issue impacting Cleveland County.

Another notable area of improvement is in the category of Social and Economic F actors, improving from a ranking of 60 in

of the area an opportunity to look at the map, which will be on display, and have any questions answered.

The new district includes some sections of Bethlehem, Dixon and Love Valley communities as well as Kings Mountain Boulevard.

City Manager Marilyn Sellers said staff will be present to display a map of the overlay district and respond to any questions.

Mayor Scott Neisler says the overlay district is really a guide to shape the development of the Greater Kings Mountain area and protects the area for future

development.

The ordinance prohibits some commercial uses in the overlay district.

Eric Greenway, Planning Director for the city, said at the recent council meeting that the Thoroughfare Protection District would enhance the safety of those living in the ETJ by establishing requirements for those wanting to develop and bring businesses to the area.

Public hearing will be held by city council Tuesday, March 27, at 6 p.m. on adoption of the map of the new overlay district.

Four KM residents arrested on drug charges by Sheriff’s Office “There are severe consequences for dealing drugs in this county,’’ said Cleveland County Sheriff Allen Norman who said that citizens can help in the fight against drugs by providing information on drug dealers in their communities. He added, “When we take away the source of those drugs, we take away the impetus to commit those crimes.”

The number to call is 704484-4897, Norman said.

Four Kings Mountain residents were arrested during the week of March 12 on drug charges..

March 3 BYERS of Antarious Qaushard “Bang” Byers, 24, of Shelby, accused in the killing of Deasia Washington, 23, on October 9, 2016 at a party in Kingstown.

Byers arrest comes three months after the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department put out a call that he was wanted in the death of Washington.

Sheriff Allen Norman said it has taken a year and a half for investigators to put all the information together in the case.

Norman said Byers was in a fistfight outside of 137 Fox Hill Drive in Kingstown and aiming at another target. The shot missed and ripped through the wall of the house and struck Washington in the kitchen with friends, he said.

“Byers has been running for months, but he will be held accountable for all the misery he has left in his wake. Most importantly, I am ecstatic for the family of Deasia Washington because the coward who murdered their loved one is in a jail cell where he belongs. We look forward to his conviction, so he can spend the rest of his life in prison,’’ said Norman.

The Sheriff said that Byers was also on the run from the FBI since May 2017. Operation Red Rain, a joint operation between the FBI, Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office and numerous other law enforce-

ment agencies targeted the Nine-Trey Bloods street gang of which Byers was a member Investigators said Byers was driving a Chevrolet HHR with a head light out when he was stopped by Park Rangers at the Gatlinburg Welcome Center. Rangers smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle, frisked the suspect and a firearm was located in Byers’ pants leg. Byers failed to produce a valid name and was taken into custody. He was identified by his fingerprints at booking and investigators found he had federal indictments and murder warrants out of Cleveland County in addition to other outstanding warrants.

The Sheriff said Byers will be returned to North Carolina from Tennessee in the coming weeks.

How to Get Cash For Your Life Insurance Policy Dear Savvy Senior, I have a life insurance policy that I’ve been paying on for years that I really don’t need any longer. I’ve been thinking about letting it lapse, but I’ve heard that I can actually sell it for a nice payout. What can you tell me about this?

Interested In Selling Dear Interested, Selling a life insurance policy, even a term life policy that you don’t want or need any longer – a transaction known as a “life settlement” – has become a popular option among retirees in recent years that could use some extra cash. Here’s how it works.

A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party company for cash. Life settlements are typically best suited for people over age 65 who own a policy with a face value of $100,000 or more or someone younger who has experienced a significant change in health.

Historically, if an owner of a life insurance policy decided they no longer needed it, they would either let the pol-

icy lapse or turn it in for a meager cash surrender value. But now, with the life settlement option, you can actually sell your policy for more than the cash surrender value would be, but less than its net death benefit.

Once you sell it, the life settlement company then becomes the new owner of the policy, pays the future premiums and collects the death benefit.

How much money you can expect to get with a life settlement will depend on your age, health and life expectancy, the type of insurance policy, the premium costs and the cash value of your policy. You may be able to receive four to eight times more than the policy cash surrender value.

If you’re interested in a life settlement here are some things you should know: Shop around: Because payout can vary, to ensure you get the best price for your policy get quotes from several companies. Also, find out what broker and transaction fees you’ll be required to pay. Coventry, the nation’s first and largest provider of life settlements,

offers some of the highest cash payouts for life insurance policies. To get started, visit CoventryDirect.com or call 888-858-9344. To search for other providers or brokers, the Life Insurance Settlement Association provides a directory at LISA.org.

Be prudent: Life settlements are regulated in most states. Find out from your state insurance commissioner (see NAIC.org for contact information) if the life settlement company you’re interested in is properly licensed.

Protect your privacy: When you sell your life insurance policy, you will have to sign a waiver authorizing the release of medical and other personal information so that the buyer can determine how much to offer for your policy. Before accepting any offer, make sure that the company has procedures in place to protect the confidentiality of your information.

Understand the tax implications: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act recently updated the tax treatment of a life settlement to be treated the same as the surrender of a policy back to the insurance com-

pany. This can be complicated, so be sure to consult a tax advisor.

Other Options If you want to keep your life insurance policy but could use some extra cash, you may have some other options. For example, some life settlement companies may allow you to keep part of the policy’s death benefit while eliminating your premium obligations. You can also ask your life insurer if you can borrow against your policy, or if you’re in poor health, see if you’re eligible for accelerated death benefits. You should also find out if you’re able to convert the cash value of your policy into an immediate annuity (through a 1035 Exchange), which would make regular payments to you for a set number of years or for the rest of your life.

■ MEDITATION

Jesus gives unconditional love but do we? in the world we allow our love to wax cold like helium in a balloon. Day after day it floats unabated until one day it starts to go limp. Can we honestly say we love people or do we set requirements for sharing our love? Jesus forewarned us that in the last days, the love of many will wax cold (Matt.24:12). Today I would like to share this poem by James Patrick Kinney called The Cold Within.

As we continue in this season of reflection, I would like to reflect on uncond i t i o n a l Rev. John L. Houze l o v e .

J e s u s Peoples Baptist Church gave the c o m mandment in John 13:34-35, that we love one another as he has loved us. Even though he was going to be betrayed, abandoned and crucified, by choice he loved unconditionally. Due to the wickedness

The Cold Within James Patrick Kinney Six humans trapped by happenstance In bleak and bitter cold.

Each one possessed a stick

of wood Or so the story’s told.

Their dying fire in need of logs The first man held his back For of the faces round the fire He noticed one was black.

The next man looking ‘cross the way Saw one not of his church And couldn’t bring himself to give The fire his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered clothes.

He gave his coat a hitch.

Why should his log be put to use To warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back

and thought Of the wealth he had in store And how to keep what he had earned From the lazy shiftless poor.

The black man’s face bespoke revenge As the fire passed from his sight.

For all he saw in his stick of wood Was a chance to spite the white.

The last man of this forlorn group Did nought except for gain.

Giving only to those who gave Was how he played the game.

Their logs held tight in

death’s still hands

Was proof of human sin.

They didn’t die from the cold without They died from the cold within.

In Matthew 26:21-22, Jesus told his disciples “one of you shall betray me” and they asked a question we should ask ourselves when it comes to betraying the commandment to love as He loved; They asked, “Lord is it I?” Be Blessed.

Holy Week and Easter services 24 year old bicyclist killed at Dixon Presbyterian Church

by PASTOR RANDY PATTERSON Experience Easter at Dixon Presbyterian Church, 602 Dixon School Road, Kings Mountain.

MAUNDY THURSDAY MARCH 29 7: 30 p.m. The Thursday before Easter is set aside as Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday. It is a time to commemorate the last supper of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was at this supper that He exemplified the role of servant for us to follow.

He felt and knew the hurt of betrayal by one so close. He heard a vow of allegiance and admonished His dear friend’s human bravado. He felt the love and closeness of His dearest friends while realizing this was the last time he would share their company in His human form and that each of them would desert Him at a time when He needed them most. As He listened to them talk, their conversations made Him know just how short their time together had been, how little they had grasp of His teachings and how much more nourishment they were going to need to accomplish the task set before them.

That night He gave them a wonderful and powerful gift, an ever-present reminder that He would always be with them and in them. “This is my body, This is My blood. For as often as you eat this bread

and drink this cup, Remember Me. “ This is the promise for all who will call upon His name and acknowledge Him as Lord. He is the bread of life that we may be hungry no more. His is the blood shed for our sins that cleanses and makes us forever His. As we come to the table on this Maundy Thursday, we come to remember and to know.

TENEBRAE Friday, March 30th at 7:30 p.m.- The Service of Tenebrae follows a tradition of the Church dating back to at least the 8th. century, and perhaps even as early as the 5th century. The literal translation of the Latin word, Tenebrae, is “shadows,” and thus the service of worship moves from light to darkness. As each candle is extinguished it symbolizes the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross, and also reminds us of the fading loyalty of His disciples and friends. It is hoped that each person present will become more aware of the sadness and despair that was evident before and during the crucifixion.

Most who have attended a Tenebrae service say it is most impressive and memora-

ble. This worship experience unfolds through a series of readings and musical selections. Each offering a stirring account of the feelings, emotions, memories and impressions made upon their lives

by Jesus, the Son of God. You are invited to join us as we once again re-live the final moments of the life of Christ while here on earth. It is a time of remembrance, a time of reflection upon the sin in our own lives and our need for the Savior. We shall share in the passion, feel the love, know of the pain and experience the hurt. We shall leave in darkness, we shall leave in silence. We shall wait expectantly.

EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE - Sunday, April 1, at 7 a.m. Come celebrate with us the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior. The long night of suffering and death is ended.

The fast is over and the table is set. Stay and enjoy the fellowship around the breakfast table.

Worship service and proclamation of Our Savior’s Resurrection His Victory over death and the grave at 11 a.m. on Easter Sunday.

Emmanuel Baptist welcomes Wilson

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Emmanuel Baptist Church, located just outside the Cherryville city limits, and their Senior Pastor, Jerry Brooks, welcome their new associate pastor, Timothy Leon Wilson and wife Tracy, to their fold. Tim and Tracy are the parents of four, ages 21 to 29.

Tim, 47, is a graduate of Burns High School and Victory Bible Institute, in Gaffney, S.C., and served at Unity Baptist Church in Shelby under Pastor Chris Little from 2002 to 2017, he said.

Pastor Brooks noted that Pastor Wilson “ministers to several nursing homes in the area as well as some of the local jails and prisons.” pastor Wilson was saved

by God’s grace in August 2001 and noted he heard the call from God to preach the following year, in late 2002.

Said Rev. Wilson, “In January 2017 Pastor Jerry (Brooks) had a health issue and asked me if I would pray about coming to help him out here. I did, and here I am.”

Anywhere he can preach the gospel is just where Pastor Tim wants to be, he said.

He is especially happy to be at Emmanuel and is honored to be able to minister to the 50 to 60 families in attendance at the small Cleveland County church with the Cherryville address.

“It’s been great being here,” said Pastor Tim. “They have treated us real nice since

Pastor Brooks, in a conference call with the Eagle and Pastor Wilson, noted the congregation of Emmanuel Baptist are looking forward to serving the Lord with Pastor Wilson.

Reverend Wilson said the church has ministered at Carolina Care and Peak Resources in Cherryville, and also do ministry work at Lincolnton prison.

The Wilson’s were both born and raised in Cleveland County, though Tim has called Waco home as well.

He is also employed at Patrick Yarns in Kings Mountain. The couple have been married 11 years.

As for his time in the pulpit, sharing it with Pastor Jerry, Pastor Tim said, “I preach every Sunday unless I’m needed more. I also

preach every Wednesday night, and am the adult Sunday School teacher.”

Tracy said she teaches Sunday School at Unity Baptist Church.

Emmanuel Baptist is a Southern Baptist Church, and is part of the Southern Baptist Association of Greater Cleveland County, noted Pastor Jerry.

“The church has been here since 1964,” he added. “And I have been here since 1995.”

Rev. Brooks added their church and ministry has also been a licensed Bible Institute as of five years ago.

The installation sermon was delivered by Rev. Phil Bunch, Associate Pastor of First ARP Church, Rock Hill, SC and a former member of Boyce Memorial. Rev. Bunch used the sermon topic, “The Shaking Glory” taking his text from Hebrews 12:

18-20. Other ministers assisting on the program were Rev. Morrie Lawing, Pastor, Christ Church ARP, Denver, NC who asked the constitutional questions, Rev. Andrew Shoger, Pastor, Coddle Creek ARP Church, who charged the pastor, and Ruling Elder Kelvin Montieth, Reformation Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Gastonia, NC who charged the congregation. The congregation participated in a unison reading and sang “Whole-Hearted Praise”, “Adoration and Submission”, and “Lead on O King Eternal”.

Following the installation service, guests and members of the church gathered in the Fellowship Hall to welcome

Dr. and Mrs. Patrick and their family to the community.

Dr. Patrick grew up in White Oak, SC and is a graduate of Clemson University.

Dr. Patrick received the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Erskine Theological Seminary in Due West, South Carolina.

After interning at Boyce Memorial in the summer of 1993, he served for 12 years at Associate Reformed Presbyterian Churches in Gastonia, North Carolina; Clover, South Carolina; and 12 years in Bartow, Florida.

Dr. Patrick is married to Dr. Kim Patrick, who will practice veterinary medicine with Total Bond Veterinary Hospitals in Gastonia. The Patricks have four children.

Change your clock, change your battery Daylight saving time was March 11. N.C. Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Mike Causey wants to remind all North Carolinians -- when you change your clock, remember to change the battery in your smoke alarm.

“Smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a fire in half, but they need to work in order to do it,” said Commissioner Causey. “Taking just a few minutes to change batteries in smoke alarms can be the difference between life and death.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association, families have an average of three minutes to get out of their homes after their smoke alarm sounds due to fire.

However, those life-saving minutes only occur when

alarms are fully powered and operational.

The NFPA reports three out of every five home fire deaths across the nation resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

In fires in which the smoke alarms were present but did not operate, more than half of them had missing or disconnected batteries after nuisance alarms, such as the alarm going off during cooking. Dead batteries caused one-quarter of the smoke alarm failures. Hardwired power source problems caused 7 percent of the failures. The rest of the failures occurred because of defective or improperly installed alarms.

In addition to changing or checking your smoke alarm

battery, residents should take note of the following fire preparedness tips: • Place a smoke alarm on every level of your home outside sleeping areas. If you keep bedroom doors shut, place a smoke alarm in each bedroom.

• Teach children what the smoke alarm sounds like and what to do when they hear it.

• Prepare and practice an escape plan – know at least two ways out of a room, crawl low under smoke and plan where to meet outside.

For more information on how to check smoke alarm batteries or have an alarm installed, contact your local fire department at 704-734-0555 or the Office of State Fire Marshal at 1.800.634

obesity, excessive drinking and sexually transmitted infections increased. These health behaviors have already been identified as priority focus areas as a result of the Cleveland County Health Department’s 2015 Community Health Assessment. Oliver said much work has been done to address substance abuse, physical activity, nutrition and unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Although excessive

drinking slightly increased from 15% in 2017 to 16% in 2018, alcohol-impaired driving deaths decreased significantly from 2017 to 2018, going down from 34% to 31%. Despite the increase in the rate of sexually transmitted infections, teen births went down considerably from 47/1,000 in 2017 to 39/1,000 in 2018.

Oliver says the rankings are not about a race to the top, but rather about identify-

ing areas of improvement to make progress toward better health for communities.

The rankings are available online at www.countyhealthrankings.org. For additional information on Cleveland County’s health ranking or for assistance in interpreting the data available on the county Health Rankings website, contact the Cleveland county Public Health Center at 980-4845199.

KM Sports Hall of Fame to induct 8

Grover’s 1953 women’s basketball team, which posted a 33-0 overall record, will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame at its 31st annual ceremony Sat., May 13 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Front row, left to right, are Mary Louise Ellis, Treva Ponder, Rachel Hardin, Annie Laura Huffstetler and Catherine Hambright. Back row, left to right, Ann Davis, Colleen Reynolds, Sue Keeter, Theo Huffstetler, Peggy Keeter, Betty Watterson and Coach Gene Turner.

Peggy Keeter, ’53 Grover champs one of top scoring machines ever (First in a series of stories on the 2018 inductees into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be held at Central United Methodist Church on Saturday, May 12 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 and will be available in April at Ingram’s Barber Shop in downtown Kings Mountain or from any member of the Hall of Fame committee. You are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance because it may be a sellout).

Peggy Keeter is shown with her trophies after leading Grover’s 1953 basketball team to a 33-0 record. Keeter scored 1,301 points for a 39.4 points per game average. In the Valdese Tournament, she scored 225 points in four games, a 56.2 ppg average, and made the All-Tournament team along with teammates Theo Huffstetler and Colleen Reynolds.

For the season, Peggy Keeter scored 1,301 points, an average of 39.4 points per game. She scored her personal record 66 points in a win over Waco. Some other big games were 53 in a 76-15 win over Waco, 47 in an 83-30 win over Bethware, 49 in a 56-41 win over Belwood and 43 in a 64-20 win over Fallston. In a 60-49 win over Piedmont that clinched the conference championship with two games remaining, Peggy Keeter scored 28 points, Sue Keeter 19 and Treva Ponder 13.

Peggy Keeter, now Peggy Kish and living in Richmond, VA, recalled that her high school career began in a Quonset hut that was located on the Grover campus. “I know we played there when I was a freshman, and maybe a sophomore,” she recalled. “When the new high school was built it included a gym and we played in the gym after that.”

With most of the same players, Grover lost only one game during the 1952 season under the direction of Principal W.F. Powell.

Turner came on board as a teacher and coach in the fall of ’52.

Peggy, who went on to play two years at Lees-

McRae Junior College, said basketball was her life back then.

“It was just a wonderful experience to go to a small county school,” she said.

“Things today aren’t like they were back then. We were a team. Our purpose was to win every game.”

Two of her teammates at different times were her sisters, Sue and Jo Ann Keeter. Jo Ann, after high school married Dub Hicks, an outstanding Grover athlete who transferred to Kings Mountain and later played basketball at Wake Forest. She now lives in Charlotte, and Sue lives in Mt. Peasant, SC. Dub Hicks was a member of the undefeated 1945 KMHS basketball team which is also in the Hall of Fame.

“Dub was our coach when Jo Ann was a senior and I was a freshman,” Peggy recalled. “After she graduated she became his wife. They were married for 55 years when Dub passed away. It was good to play with my family.”

The sisters get together as often as possible, and Peggy said she hopes they can all work it out to attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

“It was just good to play with my family,” Peggy said. “Attending

and playing basketball at a small school is interesting. Kids just don’t have that experience anymore.

It was fun times. There were only 13 people in my graduation class. I think of all of them a lot but we just don’t get back to Grover much. The only relatives we really have there now are Suzanne Keeter and her family. Suzanne’s husband Tommy was our cousin. About the only time we go to Grover anymore is to the cemetery.”

Peggy said it was an experience playing basketball in the Quonset hut.

After the new gym was constructed, the hut was used as a classroom for several years.

“The only heat in the hut was an old pot belly stove that sat over in the corner,” she recalled.

“All the men would stand around it during the games to stay warm.”

Peggy played basketball with her children when they were growing up, but now she is just a fan.

“I still love to watch basketball,” she said. “I am a Carolina fan at heart but I’ve been in Richmond for forty something years so I also pull for Virginia and Virginia Tech.”

third straight Southwestern Conference championship as well as the Western Regional title before losing on a late touchdown pass to Winston-Salem Carver in the state 3A championship game at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. Hillman is KM’s all-time leading rusher and scorer and made the All-State football team his senior year. In addition to being a leader on the line for the Mountaineers, Curry was a two-time state wrestling champion.

Bo Goforth was a standout wingback and defensive back on Kings Mountain’s undefeated 1963 team which shared the SWC title with Shelby. The Mountaineers and Shelby tied and Shelby won the state’s first 10-yard sudden death 6-3 in the second OT. Goforth also played baseball and basketball here and went on to pitch for Appalachian State’s Mountaineers.

Heffner was an All-State soccer player at KMHS, and also was an all-star volleyball player. During her four years as a starter in soccer, the Lady Mountaineers compiled an 84-13-4 record and Heffner was the Southwestern Foothills Conference player of the year and played in the EastWest All-Star game. She went on to play four years at East Carolina University.

Goode was one of the stars on Kings Mountain High’s 1981-82 championship teams under the late Coach John Blalock.

He went on to play two years of basketball at Limestone College in Gaffney, SC where he was an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American his junior year. He is still #2 on Limestone’s all-time scoring list with 1,117 points.

Several others will be honored with the Hall’s Distinguished Service Award. They include Maurice and Brandy Tate for their service with the highly successful Kings Mountain Elite program, former KMHS sports manager Charlie Watson who served for over 20 years on a volunteer basis, and KMHS athletic director Mark Latham, who will be retiring on July 1.

Numerous students, yet to be named, will be receiving college scholarships.

It may be a while – if ever – that a local basketball team matches the accomplishments of the 1953 Grover High School girls team that finished 33-0 and featured a player that scored 1,301 points in a single season.

That’s a career for most high school players, but Peggy Keeter did it in just her senior season for a school that won and/or played for numerous girls championships prior to consolidating with Bethware and Kings Mountain high schools in the fall of 1961.

The Grover girls, under the leadership of first-year head coach Gene Turner, rolled through the Cleveland County Conference regular season and tournament and put icing on the cake with a sweep of the inaugural Valdese Gold Medal Tournament.

According to an article in the March 12, 1953 Kings Mountain Herald, the tournament was scheduled after special passage of legislation in the General Assembly that allowed girls high school basketball teams to compete in tournaments.

In the Valdese tournament, the Grover ladies defeated Valdese 57-48 in the championship game after defeating Forest City 82-55, Oxford 68-56 and Crossnore 75-43.

Peggy Keeter scored 225 points in the four games, an average of 56.2 per game, and was named to the All-Tournament team along with guards Colleen Reynolds and Theo Huffstetler. Other Grover starters were forwards Sue Keeter and Treva Ponder and guard Betty Watterson.

Seven individuals and an undefeated girls basketball team will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame at its 31st annual banquet and ceremony Saturday, May 12 at Central United Methodist Church.

Tickets are $15 each and will go on sale soon.

Persons planning to attend should buy their tickets early because last year’s event was a sellout and this year’s is expected to be as well. Members of the Hall of Fame committee will have tickets, and they will also be available at Ingram’s Barber Shop downtown.

The Grover High School girls basketball team won all 33 of its games during the 1952-53 season and featured a scoring machine in senior Peggy Keeter.

Keeter scored 1,301 points for a 39.4 per game average. In the post-season Gold Medal Tournament in Valdese Keeter scored 225 points for a 56.2 per game average and was named to the all-tournament team along with guards Theo Huffstetler and Colleen Reynolds.

Individuals to be inducted this year include KMHS coaches Greg Lloyd and Dan Potter and five athletes who made their marks in several sports on the high school and college level, including Warren “Bo” Goforth, Demetris Goode, Anthony Hillman, Julius Curry, and Blair Heffner.

Lloyd and Potter are the winningest coaches in KMHS history in their respective sports, football and soccer. Lloyd has 78 wins in Kings Mountain in 11 seasons to go with the 16 he had at East Gaston in two years and should be topping the 100-mark in career wins in the fall.

Potter coached boys and girls soccer at KMHS before retiring in August to take a teaching position in Clover, SC. His final two seasons here, his boys broke the school record for wins. Previously, he coached one of his girls teams to the NCHSAA 3A championship game.

Hillman and Curry were members of Kings Mountain’s winningest football team ever. In 1998 under the late Ron Massey, the Mountaineers won their

Wilson is ACC Player of Week Kings Mountain’s and NC State’s Will Wilson has been selected ACC Baseball Player of the Week after leading the Wolfpack to a 5-0 record last week, including a sweep of perennial national power Clemson.

Wilson’s first multi-homer game in the series finale gave the Wolfpack its first-ever three-game sweep of the Tigers. His solo blast in the first inning got the Pack off to a 1-0 lead and his homer in the eighth provided the go-ahead run in the 5-4 series clincher.

Wilson finished the week with a .545 average with 12 hits, seven runs and five RBIs. He had five extra base hits and a slugging percentage of .955 and on-base percentage of .600. He had multi-hit games in all games during the week and extended his streak of reaching base safely to 36 games. He had a series high six hits in the Clemson series.

Wilson is a sophomore shortstop who was a Freshman All-American last season and a pre-season All-American this year.

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 Many parents are trying to live the dream through their sons and daughters – the dream of landing a college athletic scholarship by specializing in a sport yearround. Unfortunately, most of these dreams are never realized.

The odds of a sports scholarship paying for even a portion of a student’s college education are miniscule.

The College Board, a not-

for-profit organization comprised of 6,000 of the world’s leading educational institutions, reports that a moderate cost for college students who attend a public university in their state of residence is $25,290 per year. The annual cost at a private college averages $50,900.

Meanwhile, the most recent data from the NCAA reveals that the average Division I athletic scholarship is worth only $10,400. More significantly, the same study shows that fewer than two percent of all high school athletes (1 in 54) ever wear the uniform of an NCAA Division I school.

Even if the dream is realized, parents likely will spend

more money for club sports than they ever regain through college athletic scholarships.

Thanks to the costs of club fees, equipment, summer camps, playing in out-ofstate tournaments and private coaching, youth sports has become a $15 billion-peryear industry.

There is an option, and it’s a financially viable one: Encourage your sons and daughters to play sports at their high school.

In education-based high school sports, student-athletes are taught, as the term implies, that grades come first. The real-life lessons that students experientially learn offer insights into leadership, overcoming adversity and mutual respect that cannot be learned anywhere else.

Unlike club sports, coaches in an education-based school setting are held accountable by the guiding principles and goals of their school district.

And the cost of participating in high school sports is minimal in most cases.

While there is a belief that the only way to get noticed by college coaches is to play

on non-school travel teams year-round, many Division I football and basketball coaches recently have stated that they are committed to recruiting students who have played multiple sports within the high school setting.

In addition, by focusing on academics while playing sports within the school setting, students can earn scholarships for academics and other talents—skill sets oftentimes nurtured while participating in high school activities.

St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser will help veterans A St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser hosted by Unit 155, American Legion Auxiliary, was held Saturday and spaghetti with all the trimmings was served from 5-7 p.m. at the American Legion Building.

Special Events Chairman DeAnn Burton decorated the club dining rooms with St. Patrick’s Day décor in

the green motif and Auxiliary members helping with the cooking and serving wore green hats, green beads and other décor for the event.

Mrs. Burton took the occasion to thank those who attended and said the proceeds will be used to help veterans.

Since March is the birth-

day month for the American Legion, the Auxiliary cut and served a birthday cake celebrating the 99th birthday of the American Legion. Post Commander Rick Moore said the Legion appreciates the work of the Auxiliary and thanked them for remembering the Legion on its birthday.

Deana Cramer, Sonya Lovelace and Patsy Lemmon, left to right, are pictured. Cramer and her mother, Mrs. Lovelace, are new members of the Auxiliary. Mrs. Lemmon is Unit President.

John Skipper, Blackmail in America - Who needs that? stripper Blaze Starr who said her encounters with Kennedy before he was President were more than about social issues.

Of course Kennedy was assassinated at such as young age he never had to face buying somebody’s silence on a major publicized scale that we know about. Who knows what kind of little back room deals or power moves were made to keep Kennedy’s mistakes submerged? In the day in which Kennedy lived the question must also be asked did anyone else care about what he was doing with Marilyn Monroe, Blaze Starr or the many other names who are out there? Obviously, yes, people always raise an inquiring eyebrow but it didn’t hit the fan like it does today.

Today we have our current President who is being alleged to have a past involvement with a porn star. Allegedly his attorney paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about an affair with President Trump before he began his actual campaign for office. Has Stormy Daniels kept quiet? Apparently $130,000 doesn’t buy silence.

With all the media attention surrounding President Trump and Daniels she knows there is much, much bigger money to be made.

A hardback book deal can easily make her a million dollars and probably several million.

Someone will want to make it into a movie thus more mega dollars. Someone might offer

her a cable television show that would run for a few weeks or some kind of crazy radio deal where she might talk about her allegedly nasty details with Trump. Possibly another way to look at Daniels being quiet is that $130,000 buys silence until one learns they can get more money.

My question though is who really wants to hear the details? If there is truth to it I don’t want to hear about it. I got so tired of hearing about Clinton, Monica and a cigar. Who wants to hear this stuff?

Just recently the sad news about ESPN President John Skipper broke. He met with the executives of the Disney Corporation that owns ESPN and sadly disclosed that he had a problem with cocaine. Someone he had bought cocaine from was threatening Skipper about breaking the news pertaining to his problem.

Thus what Skipper thought was something the drug world people would keep under wraps and protect their own was a mistake on his part. He is just too big a fish for some dope head to keep confidential about. After all, there might have been big money to be made from blackmailing Skipper.

He did the right thing by coming out with his problem with corporate executives. His loss is personally crushing to him and the sports world. After all, who wins from any of this? The answer is nobody. However, the extortion

jerk has not profited any more with his tidbit of information that he has about Skipper that we know about.

In short - there is no such thing as buying silence. People tell what they want to tell. Usually it’s to protect themselves, build themselves up, make someone look bad or to gain attention or cash. Sometimes it’s ugly blackmail or extortion that is taking place and who needs that?

Morgan to Lead Lenten service Rev. Josh Morgan, pastor of Advent Lutheran Church, will lead the last in a series of Lenten services Wedneday ( today) at 12 noon at Bethlehem Baptist Church The community Lenten services are sponsored by the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association This year’s series of services were on the subject “Were You There?”

There is no such thing as buying someone’s silence.

Silence really doesn’t exist. If people want Glenn Mollette to tell the Guest Editorial world it’s easy to do. Tell one other person in the world and if the information is grimy enough it will be retold a thousand or a million times. Bad news travels fast. Sordid news for some reason always rises to the top. Regardless of how hard you try to cover it, you can’t. Blogs, news media, social media and the massive ability to communicate around the globe sends bad news out faster than a Texas tornado.

Bad news was hushed a bit back in the day. We’ve heard rumors and stories for years about President John F. Kennedy.

Many years later they have been retold and written about so many times. Of course is there any real proof that any of the rumors were true? Did anybody actually see with their own eyes Kennedy doing things he wasn’t supposed to be doing? There are those out there in media/gossip land who will rise to say yes while others will attest either the stories were fabricated or not accurate.

Of course you have the famous

Public libraries opening world of information for students

Duke Energy, Piedmont Natural Gas give $200,000 to Gaston College

Public libraries of Cleveland County are opening a world of information for students of Cleveland County Schools.

Cleveland County Library System, Mauney Memorial Library and Cleveland County Schools have come together to make “Student Access’’ a reality for all students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.

All across North Carolina, students in various counties are now able to go online and use their Student ID number to access all appropriate digital resources offered by their public library. Using their school ID, each student is now a full-fledged member of the public library system as if they had a library card and can now access books and resource materials with their student ID numbers at each library location.

DALLAS, N.C. – Gaston College today announced a $200,000 investment from Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas. The funds will be used to connect students with hands-on training and career development opportunities.

The investment, from the Duke Energy Foundation, will be used for tuition support for Advanced Manufacturing students participating in Apprenticeship 321.

Apprenticeship 321 is a flexible education and training program sponsored by Gaston College in collaboration with local industries in Gaston and Lincoln counties. The purpose of the program is to cultivate highly skilled workers to meet the local demand from participating companies and currently provides training for the following occupations: Chemical Operator; Industrial Maintenance Mechanics; Machine Set-Up Operator; Mechatronics Technicians; and Tool & Die Maker. Appren-

Dr. Brian Hunnell, Asst.

Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, stated that “Access to these resources are very beneficial to our students’ ability to succeed in their assignments and growth throughout their school career.� He said that schools and libraries share the belief that a love of books and learning is a strong foundation for student success.

Student ID accounts allow students to borrow e-resources and access library databases just like any other Cleveland County Library System and Mauney Memorial Library card. Students can also borrow up to 10 print or audio

books from the Cleveland County Library System and Mauney Memorial Library collection. Students will use their school ID number and PIN access the library’s services like e-books and online research. The default PIN is the last 4 digits of the student ID number.

More good news is that the student account is free.

There are no overdue fines for student accounts, but students are responsible for any fees on lost or damaged materials.

For more information. please contact one of the public libraries in Cleveland County or the school your student attends. Carol H. Wilson, Cleveland County Memorial Library, may be contacted at 704487-9069 ext.222 or email c wilsong@ccm.org or Sharon Stack, Mauney Memorial Librarian, at 704739-2371.

www.momsinprayer.org

ticeship 321 was created through an Advanced Technological Education Grant from the National Science Foundation in 2015. Gaston College was the first community college in North Carolina to be registered with the U.S. Department of Labor as the sponsor of an apprenticeship program. “We are so grateful for this investment from Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas,� said Dr. Patricia Skinner, President of Gaston College. “It is a testimony to the important contributions the Apprenticeship 321 program has made in support of local industries, and we are excited that the investment will enable us to help more students get the training and education that will prepare them for rewarding careers.� “We are proud to partner with Gaston College to connect students with apprenticeship and workforce training opportunities,� said Martha Thompson, Duke Energy district manager. “These

students will directly help meet the needs of the region’s manufacturing industry.�
