KM Hospital licensed under Atrium Cleveland By Loretta Cozart Last week the Herald received several calls regarding the future of Atrium Health Kings Mountain. In response to those calls, we reached out to Atrium Health sharing those concerns. Atrium Health’s Corporate Communications Director, Marcey Stone shared a statement that reads,

“Atrium Health Cleveland and Kings Mountain are on track to complete the tri-annual accreditation survey at both campuses in 2019. “Our ongoing commitment to quality, safety, process improvement and outcomes keep us ever prepared for the survey and, more importantly, ready to deliver the very best patient care at both locations. “Atrium Health Kings

Roadwork scheduled for completion today By Loretta Cozart Roadwork began on Tuesday, April 9, to repair the roadway on Hwy. 161, near the Food Lion access road just south of Kings Street. For several months, the access road has been closed due to a washout beneath the roadway at the intersection. Detour signs were placed a week ago, according to Public Works Director Rick Putnam. Drivers traveling northbound on Hwy. 161 will be redirected right onto E. Gold Street, left on S. Oriental Avenue, left on E.

King Street and right onto Hwy. 161 North. Drivers traveling southbound on Hwy. 161 will be detoured right onto E. King Street, left on Battleground Avenue, left at Gold Street, and right onto Hwy 161 South. Drive with caution near the construction area. Work zones result in unexpected traffic patterns, so use caution in the area or utilize an alternative route to avoid the work zone. Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the day on Wednesday, April 10.

Mountain will move onto the Atrium Health Cleveland license and provider number effective August 1, 2019, and Kings Mountain will operate as a campus of Atrium Health Cleveland. Our goal is for the core services at Kings Mountain to stay the same, including emergency services, inpatient care, behavioral health, and outpatient services. “Under a shared license, both campuses will continue to participate willingly in quality surveys and data sharing that provide opportunities to showcase our quality and continuously improve. “The belief that we are better together is at the core of Atrium Health and practiced every day between Kings Mountain and Cleveland. For many years, we’ve worked as a unified team bringing health, hope and healing to all. This recent step makes it official. “Joining together under one provider number improves the longer-term financial outlook of Atrium Health Kings Mountain and enables us to provide robust healthcare to the community, with an opportunity to expand services in the future,” she wrote.

NCDOT road work planned for Shelby Road The NCDOT has plans for improvements along a 0.454 mile stretch of US 74 Business at the intersections of US 74 Business / Roxford Road and US 74 Business / Castlewood Drive. Work will include the installation of traffic signals and associated turn lanes as required at each intersection along with the associated grading, installation of appropriate drainage facilities, construction of concrete islands,

milling and resurfacing, and the installation of pavement markings along US 74 Business from west of Roxford Road to east of Castlewood Drive. The contract for this project will be let on April 23, with work beginninng by May 31. The contract completion date is scheduled to be October 31. This project, which is estimated to cost approximately $1.35M, is primarily funded with High Impact / Low Cost funds, a program funded by the General Assembly as part of Senate Bill 257 in the

2017-18 Session. High Impact/ Low Cost projects are intended to address needs such as intersection improvements, minor road widening, and other operational needs. US 74 Business currently carries approximately 10,000 vehicles per day through these intersections. This project, which can be constructed within existing right of way, will make intersection geometry improvements and will provide motorists with the opportunity to make their movements under signal control.

Legislators file new bill for death by distribution charge for drug dealers By Loretta Cozart Almost two years after the overdose death of Austin Chowdhury, on March 27, Legislators filed a bill that would create a new charge known as death by distribution for drug dealers who supply lethal drugs that result in overdose deaths. On June 9, 2017, Tammy and Nazural Chowdhury lost their son, Austin, to a drug overdose in his bedroom at their home overnight. His parents discovered, through phone records, that Austin had drugs delivered to their home the day he died. What Austin thought was heroin was almost 100% fentanyl, a lethal dose. “When he took it, he was gone,” Nazural said. Austin’s addiction began after a dental procedure when he was just 16 years-old. “The doctor prescribed hydrocodone for pain and he took it for

Austin Chowdhury died of a fentanyl overdose in 2017. Photo provided a few days until he felt better,” Nazural said. A few months later Austin’s experimented with the remaining drugs and became addicted. Current state laws limit prosecutors’ ability

to charge drug dealers in overdose cases with firstor second-degree murder. Typically, such cases result in involuntary manslaughter charges, which can carry a sentence of just 10 to 20 months. Under House Bill 474 and Senate Bill 375, a death by distribution charge could be brought against a drug dealer where death results from their distribution of an opioid, methamphetamine or cocaine. Simple death by distribution would come with a sentence roughly the same as the sentence for voluntary manslaughter – 3 ½ to 7 ½ years. For aggravated death by distribution, for drug dealers with prior convictions, the sentence would be 8 to 17 years – the same sentence as second-degree murder. Unlike first- or second-degree murder charges, death by distribution would not require prosecutors to prove malice, or intent to kill.

National Healthcare Decision Day April 16 Despite recent gains in public awareness of the need for advance care planning, studies indicate that most Americans have not exercised their right to make decisions about their healthcare in the event they cannot speak for themselves. To help Americans understand that making future healthcare decisions includes much more than deciding what care they would or would not want, The National Healthcare Decisions Day Initiative (NHDD) was formed to educate the public about the importance of advance care planning. The NHDD is a collaborative effort of national, state, and community organizations committed to ensuring that all

adults with decision-making capacity in the United States have the information and opportunity to communicate and document their healthcare decisions. This year’s National Healthcare Decisions Day is on Tuesday, April 16, 2019. To start off our Decision Day, Lee Ann Long, MSN, RN, CHPN, and Vice President of Professional Development for Hospice Cleveland County will explain and provide information about Advanced Directives including Living Wills and Healthcare Power of Attorney. Advance Directives guide your care when you are unable to make your own medical decisions. They are notarized documents that specify your

wishes concerning medical treatment at the end of your life. This presentation will help you understand what an advanced directive is, who should have an advanced directive, and how to implement an advance directive. At the end of the presentation, Hospice staff will be available to assist you in developing your Living Will or Healthcare Power of Attorney and can notarize your documents. This presentation will be at the Patrick Senior Center from 10:00am to 11:00am and is FREE to all seniors ages 55 and older. We hope you will join us on this day of Advance Care Planning as we celebrate National Healthcare Decisions Day at the Center.

OPINION

Wednesday, April 10, 2019

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That’s success. –Zig Ziglar

Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Husky Cozart In the early days of Kings Mountain, Piedmont Av- COZART enue was considered an ideal location to build a home by many business leaders. Most early business owners chose a location nearer to downtown, but as the town grew and new mills came in the late 1800’s, more people chose to build homes along North Piedmont Avenue. I remember many of those grand old houses from my childhood, most of which are now gone after construction of the Hwy. 74 By-pass in the early 1980’s. One of the homes I mourn the most was that of Philip Sylvanus Baker, who operated a textile plant at Crowder’s Mountain when he built the house in 1896 for his family of five children. He also operated the Lula Mill, named for his wife. An interesting aside is that Baker didn’t own the Lula Mill; it was owned by Capt. Freno Dilling who had intended to name it for his daughter, Cora. But Cora wouldn’t hear of if it. So, Dilling named it for Baker’s wife, Lula instead. When Dilling built his next Mill on Linwood Road, he named it for Cora without asking her permission. In her May 4, 1978 article entitled Save This House, Lib Stewart shared the story of the Baker home and an attempt to save it from the wrecking ball. Sadly, they house was eventually lost, not to the highway but to arson in 1980. Stewart wrote, “Timber for the sprawling mansion was hand-picked and cut in the Patterson Grove community. The beautiful hardwood floors, exquisite mantelpieces and chandeliers, and the elaborate construction would be an elegant setting for 10 or hundreds.” Local lore states that Baker was so meticulous about the wood chosen for his house, that he turned away more wood than he accepted. Stewart continues, “The house has six bedrooms, a winding stairway, balconies off the second floor, and a full attic which has a beauti-

(L-R) Mrs. Haywood Lynch, Mrs. Tommy Baker, and Dr. Bob Baker discussing plans to save the home.

Photo provided by DigitalNC.org ful cathedral ceiling. “A formal living room, foyer and entrance hall, formal dining room, den, master bedroom, kitchen and trophy room-library are on the first floor. The mantlepieces in all the firstfloor rooms are conversation pieces with intricate design. The rooms are all wallpapered and the elegant 18th century furnishings of the late Dr. and Mrs. Luther P. Baker enhance the residence. Bob Baker, his bothers Philip, Tom, Dick of Rock Hill, S.C., and sister Peggy Baker Fulton of Knoxville, Tenn. were all reared in the house. “There are five spacious bedrooms on the second floor and the third-floor houses and assortment of memorabilia handed down through many generations of Bakers, including old-timey baby carriages and family keepsakes,” Stewart shared. Included with the article were photographs showing the grandeur of the home. I remember going into the house after the fire, just a week before it was

demolished. Even with the furnishings removed, that grand house was amazing to behold. The Trophy Room might have also been considered a Study at one time. The thick pine paneling can best be described as handsome. It was stunning, even without furnishings. I lived just a block away and remember seeing the house across the field beyond my backyard from my earliest memories. The cupola on the roof stood as a beacon for the community and made the house unique. Dr. L.P. Baker started practicing dentistry in 1907 and was a dentist for 57 years before his death in

1967. His sons were also reared in the business and had a practice in Kings Mountain above Griffin’s Drug Center, later moving to a facility across from the Woman’s Clubhouse. Son Bob Baker lived in the home until May 1978, when he moved to W. Mountain Street to the prior home of Jonas and Doris Bridges, which was large enough to accommodate most of the relocated furnishings. Bob Baker’s nephew, Steve Baker has fond memories, “I remember growing up in that house and great memories playing and hiding all over the house.”

After the family moved, he said, “A lot of great stuff was stolen out of the house, such as chandler’s, crystal doorknobs, brass hinges, and beautiful mantels from the fireplaces. “My Uncle Bob offered the house to anyone who would move it for free, due to the expense of moving such a large house. They had prepared to move it and had support beams underneath the house when someone set the house on fire. They decided that the house was still structurally sound enough to move, but someone set the house on fire again. It was then condemned and unable to be moved. I remember I was in High School when this happened around the 80’s. I had to miss school to close the house up to keep people out,” he shared. The Baker home was a beautiful example of Victorian architecture, having

all the fine accoutrements required as the home of a businessman of that day. Philip Sylvanus Baker built both a home and a legacy. His 1896 home sheltered four generations of Baker descendants. They loved the home then and still do today. Many of those who lived nearby also admired the home. Even though the Baker home was lost to arson, we still have photographs, news articles and memories preserving it as one of Kings Mountain’s most beloved homes. As of 2019, three generations of Baker men have served the dental needs of the community for 112 years. Kings Mountain’s citizens have placed their dental care in the Baker’s hands. That tradition continues today, as the third generation of the Baker family carry on the family’s legacy.

Looking back By Loretta Cozart For Easter, 1982, TG&Y ran an ad for Easter Egg goodies and other items. A mesh bag filled with 12 assorted color plastic eggs for 83 cents, Easter Grass for 33 cents, Jelly Bird Eggs for 50 cents, and 12 marshmallow eggs for 61 cents. Easter Lilly’s were sold

for $4.99, Florist Mums were $3.99, Geraniums in bloom were $1.99, and 10 inch hanging baskets were $6.99. Polaroid Time Zero color film was $6.63, Bic Twin Pack lighters were 77 cents, 16 oz. Planter’s Peanuts were $1.87, and Leggs Sheer Elegance Hose were $2.27.

Defining hardscape and how to use it C

urb appeal is beneficial in various ways. Curb appeal can make a home more attractive to prospective buyers and give existing homeowners a place they want to come home to. In its study of the worth of outdoor remodeling projects, the National Association of Realtors found standard lawn care and overall landscape upgrades were most appealing to buyers, as well as the most likely to add value to a home. Although plants, grass and other items can improve curb appeal, homeowners should not overlook hardscaping. Hardscaping is an industry term that refers to the non-living features of a landscape. These features can include everything from decks to walkways to ornamental boulders. Introducing paths or paver walls to a property helps develop that home’s hardscape. Hardscape and

soft elements often work in concert to create inspiring landscape designs. DIY landscape designers can heed certain tips to make the most of hardscape features on their properties. Choose materials As with many landscaping projects, homeowners must first determine what types of additions they would like on their properties. Common hardscape features include patios, decks, walkways of pavers or bricks, and retaining walls. Hardscape elements can be functional or simply decorative features that add whimsy to the yard. Choose a theme The right style allows hardscaping and softscaping materials to work together. For example, homeowners may want to give their yards an eastern feel, complete with a koi pond and decorative bridge or trellis. A formal English garden,

however, may include manicured paths with stepping stones and ornate topiaries. Mixing too many styles together can take away from the overall appeal. The pros suggest looking at the overall plan of the design, even if all of the work can’t be completed at once. This way the eventual finished project wil be cohesive. Think about the purpose Hardscaping can look good but also serve key purposes. Pebbles or gravel can mitigate trouble areas that don’t grow grass or plant life well. Retaining walls hold back soil in yards with sharply inclined hills. Mulch can set perimeters around trees and shrubs, as well as planting beds. Fencing, another form of hardscaping, is essential for establishing property boundaries and adding privacy.

Hardscaping refers to the elements in a landscape that aren’t living, such as paths, walls and fences.

Consult a professional While many hardscaping additions can be handled by novices, large-scale projects, such as patios and decking, can change the grading of the yard. Profes-

sionals can map out how to handle drainage issues and meet building codes. In addition, professional installation can ensure hardscaping features last for years to come.

Hardscaping should blend with the nature around it and take its cues from the surrounding environment. This can help softscaping and hardscaping work as one.

Early spring landscaping tips

D

uring the cold months of winter, many people stare longingly out of the window dreaming of spring and time spent outdoors. For those with green thumbs, images of tending to the garden and other aspects of their landscapes no doubt dominate such daydreams. Draw inspiration from those budding crocuses and daffodils pushing through the last remnants of snow and employ these tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season. • While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch of annuals, it’s better to know the last of the possible frost dates (check “The Farmer’s Almanac”); otherwise, you may waste time and money planting flowers or vegetables only to have them zapped by another frosty day. • Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency — just crumbling when lifting it. Soil that is too muddy after spring thaw can harden, making it difficult for plants to flourish later on. Speak with representatives at a local lawn and garden center about which types of amendments you can add to the soil in your particular area to enrich it. • Lawn and garden experts suggest filling in bare patches of lawn now by mixing a few

shovelfuls of soil with grass seed. Then apply this patch to the bare areas, water, and continue to care for the area until the spot fills in. • Spend a day in the garage or shed tending to the lawn mower and other gardening equipment. Clean all tools and ensure that everything works, repairing parts as needed. • Give outdoor entertaining spaces a good scrubbing, clearing away dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the winter. Use a leaf blower to blow away any leftover leaves. • Check if the front porch,

railings or decking need painting and/or staining. Tackle these projects when the weather is cooler so everything will be ready for those peak spring days. • Think about any annuals you might want to plant in the landscape this year that will complement any existing shrubbery or perennials. Come up with a theme so that the entire yard is cohesive. Before homeowners know it, winter is gone and it is time to once again enjoy long days spent outdoors. Get a jump start on spring lawn prep as soon as you can.

Did you know...

R

ain barrels provide an eco-friendly opportunity to repurpose rain water while helping homeowners conserve water and save money. But homeowners must exercise caution when using rain barrels in their lawns and gardens. Water collected by rain water should never be used for drinking, cooking or

bathing. Pet owners should know that water collected by rain barrels also should not be used to bathe pets. Rain barrel lids should also be tightly secured to prevent mosquito infestations. Secure rain barrels to also protect children and pets from falling in. Overflow valves should always direct water away from structures to prevent water

damage to homes or sheds. In addition, to reduce risk of falls and injury, homeowners should be certain that water is not directed toward sidewalks, driveways or other areas where foot traffic is common. Before the arrival of winter, homeowners should disconnect their rain barrels from downspouts to prevent the formation of ice.

Outdoor improvements that boost home value W

hether home improvement projects are design to improve the interior or exterior of a house, focusing on renovations that make the most financial sense can benefit homeowners in the long run. The right renovations can be assets if and when homeowners decide to sell their homes. So how does one get started? First and foremost, speak to a local real estate agent who is knowledgeable about trends in the community. While a swimming pool may be something coveted in one area, it may impede sales in another. It also helps to study generalized trends and data from various home improvement industry analysts to guide upcoming projects. The following outdoor projects are just a few renovations that tend to add value. • Fire pit: A fire pit is a great place to gather most months of the year. Bob Vila and CBS news report that a fire pit realizes a 78 percent return on investment, or ROI. • Outdoor kitchen: Many buyers are looking to utilize their yards as an extension of interior living areas. Cooking, dining and

even watching TV outdoors is increasingly popular. Outdoor living areas can be custom designed and built. In addition, prefabricated modular units that require a much smaller commitment of time and money are available. • Patio: Homeowners who do not already have a patio will find that adding one can increase a home’s value. Patios help a home look neat, add useable space and may help a home to sell quickly. The experts at Space Wise, a division of Extra Space Storage, say that refinishing, repairing

and building a new patio offers strong ROI. • Deck: Deck can be as valuable as patios. A deck is another outdoor space that can be used for entertaining, dining and more. Remodeling magazine’s 2018 “Cost vs. Value” report indicates that an $11,000 deck can add about $9,000 in resale value to the home, recouping around 82 percent of the project’s costs. • Door update: Improve curb appeal with a new, high-end front door and garage doors. If that’s too expensive, a good cleaning

and new coat of paint can make an old door look brand new. These easy fixes can improve a home’s look instantly. • New landscaping: The National Association of Realtors says an outdoor makeover that includes well-thought out landscaping can net 105 percent ROI. Installing a walkway, adding stone planters, mulching, and planting shrubs are ideas to consider. Many different outdoor projects can add value to a home.

How tree services can protect your property

C

old weather can take its toll on a property, especially in regions of the world where winters are harsh. Most parts of the landscape are vulnerable to damage from winter storms, but trees may be especially susceptible. By the end of winter, many homeowners wonder if their trees would benefit from some professional TLC. Tree services provide a host of services. While fall is a popular time to remove trees from a property, doing so in spring is not unheard of, especially if trees were affected by winter storms and now pose a threat to a home and the people who live inside it. Homeowners considering tree services can explore the following ways that some

professional arbor attention can protect them and their homes. • Tree services can help protect a home’s foundation. Old trees that stretch well into the sky can be captivating, but they also can pose a threat to a home’s foundation. Such trees may have especially large root zones that may extend beneath walkways and even a home. In the latter instance, foundations may crack as roots try to stake their claim to the ground beneath a home. According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, homeowners pay an average of just over $4,000 to repair foundation issues, though major problems can cost considerably more than that. A professional tree service can remove aging trees

that might be beautiful and awe-inspiring but still pose a threat to a home and the areas surrounding it. • Tree services can improve visibility. Trees that have aged a bit since their last trimming might affect the view of a property from inside a home. Overgrown branches can compromise residents’ ability to see and experience the natural beauty just outside their windows. The average homeowner may be able to trim short trees on his or her own, but if views from the second floor of a home or higher have been compromised, it’s much safer to call a professional tree service. Such services have the right tools and experienced personnel necessary to safely trim high branches on tall trees.

Professional tree services can help protect your investment.

• Tree services can help prevent future damage. Even if trees made it through a recent winter unscathed, that’s no guarantee next winter or even the coming seasons of spring, summer and fall won’t ultimately prove their undoing. Travelers Insurance notes that weather-related roof damage, including damage resulting from falling limbs

and branches weighed down by snow during the winter months, accounted for more than half of all Travelers property loss claims between 2009 and 2016. According to BNC Insurance and Risk Advisors, homeowners may be liable if a tree they knew posed a threat falls onto a passerby or a neighbor’s property and causes damage

or injury. Having all trees properly trimmed each year, but especially those that can fall on your home and your neighbors’ homes, may prevent future damage and legal issues. Tree services can ensure trees maintain their aweinspiring beauty and help homeowners protect their homes and their belongings.

■ LIFESTYLES

I AM WOMAN” exhibit at Southern Arts Society The “I Am Woman” art exhibit and competition is on view Friday April 5 through May 17. “I Am Woman” is an annual exhibit dedicated to the feminine or the essence of being a woman. Artists from around the region have entered art - paintings, photography and three-dimensional works for this competition. This is a judged show with first, second and third place prizes along with three honorable mentions. Southern Arts Society has sponsored this yearly show since 2004. The I AM WOMAN competition was first conceived at Art One Gallery in Gastonia, NC, then taken on by Southern Arts Society after Art One closed. Much of the work in the current show is figurative, showing women in a reflective still pose or at work. There are portraits based on old family photos and some that blend historical with modern fantasy. Artists have presented work in a variety of media: oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. Judging the artwork is Mark Hamilton, Professor of Fine Arts, Winthrop University. Mark was born in Brooklyn, NY and fell for photography early on in life. After serving in the military, he returned to New York City and enrolled in the new photo program at Parsons School of Design. Mark left Parsons after one year to pursue a professional career. His photo work led to assignments with Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, then on to Woman’s Wear Daily and W & M magazine working with Anne Klein, Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, Cynthia Rowley, Malcom Forbes, Frank Stella, Ralph Lauren, Michael Graves, Carolina Herrera, Norma Kamali, among others. A move to North Carolina for Mark began a change to personal projects and a return to the study of fine arts at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, obtaining his B.F.A. Mark's first fine art projects debuted at the Blue Pony Gallery in Charlotte. He received an invitation to speak about his work at Winthrop University, which led

FREIDA by Joan Fogle acrylic to teaching at Winthrop University in a part-time capacity. Several years later, Mark started teaching fulltime and is presently a tenured Professor of Fine Arts at Winthrop University. Mark pursues personal fine arts projects, collaborative projects with photographer Jennifer Hamilton, along with commercial projects for select clientele. Mark's work appears in over 50 international publications. The public is invited to attend a reception for I AM WOMAN on Saturday April 13 from 6 until 8 pm to meet the artists. Presentation of awards will be at 7 pm. This is a free event and dress is casual. The I AM WOMAN exhibit will be on view in the galleries of Southern Arts Society April 5 through May 17. Southern Arts Society (SASi) Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Ave. at the intersection of Piedmont and Battleground Avenues in the historic Southern Railway Depot in Kings Mountain.

Lookin’ Out my Backdoor— Early April 2019 By Greta Reo-Cooper One of the perks of a lawn that is yet to be mowed for the first time this season, is the plethora of bees buzzing around the carpet of wildflowers that has taken over the grass. My two and a half year old daughter loves to stand in the middle of the yard and watch plump bumblebees enjoy this buffet of early spring, flying sleepily from dandelion to violet to wild strawberry flower, so heavy with pollen that some flower stems can barely hold their weight. It was my husband who first alerted me to the fact that there are more than just bumblebees and honeybees buzzing around, and a recent search into the subject surprised me: did you know that North Carolina is home to more than 500 species of native bees? Ever heard of a sweat bee? Or how about a squash bee? The truth is that our native bees are important not only to the health of the environment, but to our economy. In our state of North Carolina, bee pollination accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth in commercial fruit and vegetable yields per year (http://

ecoipm.org/native-pollinators/). The truth is also that bees are being threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and ever-popular hybrid flowers. But you can make a difference! Whether you have a huge backyard or a patio and a couple of flower pots, there are ways to help the bees. If you are interested in gardening you have probably read that native plants are best—best, that is, for birds, butterflies and moths, and also bees. The idea that both plants and animals that are native to a certain region are mutually beneficial makes enough sense, but learning what to plant can be a challenge. Nurseries, garden centers and plant catalogues are brimming with “new and improved” varieties of flowers. Though newer and showier blooms are beautiful, they’re not better for the wildlife that depend on our gardens. Have a quick perusal of any plant catalogue, and you’ll soon see what I mean. Take purple coneflower, for example, a flower that many people are familiar with and that often graces country and urban gardens alike. There are now hybrid coneflowers on

the market with descriptions that boast “double cones,” and “double” or “frilly” flowers.” While they are colorful and spectacular to look at, all the frills make it difficult or impossible for bees to get to their centers, and these hybrids usually have less pollen and nectar. Although it’s tempting to fill your garden with these beauties, it’s important to remember the bees and opt for classics like purple coneflowers, bee balm, black eyed Susan, joe-pye weed, salvia, butterfly weed and butterfly bush. Not to worry—these flowers are just as gorgeous and provide a rainbow of color for your garden! Luckily, it’s easy to find lists online and in books and magazines of plants that support these beneficial insects. Now you’ve got your garden going, but don’t forget another huge bee hazard: pesticides. We recently bought some shrubs for our front yard, and on their tags is a paragraph that cautions against pesticides, warning gardeners to check the labels on insecticides to ensure safety for bees. Think before you spray harmful chemicals on your plants! With a little mindfulness,

twentieth century. Whether you’re a birder or not, I’ll bet you’ve seen a bluebird box. Usually made of unpainted wood, with a little roof and small hole in the front, these boxes are either placed atop metal poles or on the sides of trees in open, grassy areas. Bluebirds nest in tree cavities which are decreasing due to habitat loss and use by invasive bird species, so these man-made homes have become essential to the well-being of this species, which is now increasing. We recently put up a bluebird nest box in our front yard, facing east, about five feet up the side of a tree, and watch it every day to see if the Eastern bluebird

pair that frequents our bird feeder has found it yet. This is an easy and affordable way to help out a species in need, not to mention interesting and satisfying, especially for children. If you are interested in putting up a bluebird nestbox, learn more at http://www.nabluebirdsociety.org/. Once you start to realize how you can make your property more animal friendly, the possibilities seem to be endless! I can’t think of a better way to spend a spring day than enjoying the fruits of my gardening labor among the buzzing bees and fledging bluebirds.

Former KMHS, Georgia Military quarterback Michael Roberts going into KM Hall of Fame (The Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame banquet and induction ceremony will be held Sat., May 11 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available from members of the Hall of Fame committee and at Paul Ingram’s Barbershop and Kings Mountain High School). Michael Roberts, one of Kings Mountain High’s all-time great quarterbacks, will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame Sat., May 11 at Central United Methodist Church. Roberts was a four-year starter for the Mountaineers, playing cornerback as a freshman before moving to quarterback his sophomore year in 2006. He excelled for three years, eclipsing all of the school’s rushing, passing and total offense records. During the 2006, ’07 and ’08 seasons Roberts rushed for 2,780 yards and passed for 3,901 for a total offense record of 6,701 yards that stood until last fall when Kaylon Wade broke them. That came as no surprise to Roberts, who after leaving Georgia Military served as the quarterback coach at KMHS for four seasons. He worked with Wade briefly during Wade’s sophomore season when he was moved to quarterback from cornerback after an injury to starter Darren Burns. “I always said he was going to be better than me,” Roberts said. “He had a lot of potential and was very smart. He was a quick learner and a very good runner.” Everyone who saw Roberts play could say the same thing about him. He was a talented passer and runner, and like Wade had the ability to avoid a rush and then find a receiver deep for a touchdown. Roberts passed for over 1,000 yards each of his three years on varsity but his senior season was one that he and true Mountaineer fans will never forget. Coach Greg Lloyd’s team overcame some early injuries to win the Southwestern Conference and got to

the Western finals before losing to former coach Ron Massey’s A.L. Brown Wonders. Few people knew it at the time – and most fans may not know it now – but Roberts played that final game with a torn meniscus, suffered the week before in a 56-55 victory over Anson County at Gamble Stadium. “I had scored a twopoint conversion,” he recalled. “When I got up I tore my meniscus. I was excited and got up real quick and felt it pop. I played on and we won.” The next week against Kannapolis, few people except for Roberts and his coaches knew about the injury. “I felt like I needed to be the leader and didn’t want to show it,” Roberts said. “I had a cortisone shot and it was kind of numb. I couldn’t run like I was used to but I wasn’t in pain. It was just numb.” Even with a loss in a game that would have put the Mountaineers into the state championship, it didn’t dampen what was and still is one of the best seasons in school history. Roberts said his greatest memory of 2008 was when the Mountaineers defeated Shelby 21-0 for the first time in eight seasons. It was also the first time in over 90 games that the Lions had been shutout. “It was raining,” Roberts recalled, “and our defense was real solid. They had a running back named Larry Raper who ran a 4.2 forty and we held him to 13 yards.” Raper went on to play for the Clemson Tigers. Roberts said he didn’t know at the time that he was the school’s all-time leading rusher, passer and total offense leader. “I learned about that later,” he said. “I wasn’t out there trying to get stats, but I was surprised and excited when it was brought to my attention.” Roberts credits Coach Lloyd and his new spread offense for his success. “The new offense was definitely the reason,” he said. “It gave me more options – the option to throw and the option to run. And I had some really good re-

ceivers in Terrance Young, Devin Thompson, Jacoby Giles, Cameron Roseboro and others.” While KM fans who were in the stands that night probably will never forget Kings Mountain’s 56-55 win over Anson County, it was not the highest scoring game that Roberts would quarterback. At Georgia Military he threw three touchdown passes in a 76-7 victory over Jacksonville. In each of his seasons as a QB – three at KMHS and one at Georgia Military – Roberts threw for over 1,000 yards. Roberts was quarterback coach at KMHS from 2012-15 where he coached some good passers in Jonathan Clark, Brandon Bell and Darren Burns. “I loved it out there,” Roberts said. “I felt honored when Coach Lloyd asked me to coach. I loved all of those boys and tried to get them to the next level and give them some of my knowledge. I will always be a die-hard Mountaineer.” Although Roberts will be remembered as a great quarterback, football wasn’t the only sport he was involved in at KMHS.

Roberts was one of the first players to sign on with the Force when its owner, Stuart Wallace, moved it from Concord to Kings Mountain. “He played offensive and defensive line at Shelby,” Roberts recalled. “He had years of experience and when he started the team here I was one of the first ones he asked to play. A lot of former high school players from this

Mountaineers fall to North, trounce Huss

Kings Mountain’s Andrea Melton forces a North Gaston runner at second base in last week’s game at Lancaster Field.

KM ladies whip Hunter Huss, lose to North in eight innings Kings Mountain High’s girls lost to North Gaston 10-8 in eight innings and defeated Hunter Huss 19-1 in Big South 3A Conference action last week. The Lady Mountaineers broke a 2-2 tie with a pair of runs in the third inning to take a 4-2 lead. North battled back with a run in the fifth and then scored four in the top of the sixth to go up 7-4. Kings Mountain answered with three in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at 10-all. North scored three in the top of the eighth and held on for the win after the Lady Mountaineers came up with two in the bottom of the inning. Emily Graham led the KM plate attack with 3-for4, including a double, triple and three runs batted in. Andrea Melton was 1-for-2 with three walks. Jessie Oehler, Keegan Irby, Brittney Reynolds and Karlee Nantz also had hits.

nings with three strikeouts. Kings Mountain traveled to Hunter Huss Thursday and dominated the Huskies 17-2. The Mountaineers were shutout in the first inning, but scored in each of the final five frames. KM scored four in the second for a 4-0 lead and carried a 9-0 lead into the top of the sixth when they exploded for eight runs. Huss scored its only two runs in the bottom of the sixth. Joe Ruffalo led the 10hit KM plate attack with 3-for-5 and two runs batted in. Zach Crawford was 2-for-3. David Bell hit a threerun home run. AJ Wylie, Cameron Stevens, Nathan Phillips and Clinton Turner also had hits Charlie Melton started for the Mountaineers and gave up just one hit and fanned five over three innings. Boone Cartee worked one inning and fanned two, Justin Cooke pitched an inning and fanned three, and DJ Bagwell pitched an inning and fanned one.

Emily Graham is held at third base by Coach Kevin Cruise in last week’s game with North Gaston. It was no contest Thursday night at Huss as the Lady Mountaineers rolled to victory. Kings Mountain broke the game open early with 10 runs in the third inning

with Reynolds, Bethany Schrader, Makayla Jarvis, Summer Deaton, Nantz and Savanna Briggs all providing RBIs. Reynolds and Oehler led the hitting with two

hits each. Summer Deaton went the distance on the mound. She allowed just three hits and one earned run while striking out seven.

KM golfers tie for third Kings Mountain High tied for third in last week’s Big South golf match at Kings Mountain Country Club. Forestview took first place over Stuart Cramer 305-311. KM and Crest shared third with 332 scores, followed by North Gaston 363, Burns 400 and Ashbrook 461. Nick Norman of Forestview was the medalist with a three-under 69. Cooper Putnam led the Mountaineers with a 76, followed by Brady Waters 81, Vince Mann 85, Tucker Leatherman 90 and Seth Wyte 94. “I want to thank Kings Mountain Country Club for all their help in allowing KMHS to host our conference golf match,” said Mountaineer coach Kevin Moss. “I want to especially thank Ken Nantz, Ken Bridges, Pat Murphy, and Travis Wright in helping accommodate all the players, coaches, and parents. Their help really made our match run very smoothly.” All BSC teams were scheduled to play at Riverbend Monday with Crest serving as the host team.

Kings Mountain High’s baseball team split a pair of Big South games last week, losing to North Gaston 11-3 in a battle for second place at KM’s Lancaster Field, and dominating Hunter Huss 17-2 in a six-inning contest in Gastonia. The visiting Wildcats jumped on KM starter Justin Cooke for six runs in the first inning to take over sole possession of second place and dropping the Mountaineers to third. Kings Mountain battled back with three runs in the third to cut the margin to 6-3 but North scored three in the sixth and two in the seventh to win going away. The Mountaineers collected only five base hits. Cameron Stevens’ double was the only extra base blow for the home team. Others with singles were Boone Cartee, David Bell, Bryce Fisher and Silas Price. Joe Ruffalo worked five strong innings for the Mountaineers, giving up just one run and fanning eight batters. Seth Kennedy finished up, going 1.2 in-

East Rutherford scored nine runs in the top of the seventh inning for a comefrom-behind 15-8 victory over Kings Mountain in a non-conference baseball game Wednesday night at Lancaster Field. The Mountaineers led 8-6 going into the inning but the Cavaliers took advantage of three walks, three errors and some seeing-eye hits to pull out the win. East sent 13 men to the plate against KM’s Zach Crawford, who came to the mound the previous inning to relieve starter Bryce Fisher and got out of a bases-loaded jam to maintain the lead. But two walks to open the seventh started the Cavalier comeback and an infield hit by Walker Waters and a single to left against a drawn-in infield tied the score at 8-all. A throwing error brought in the goahead run and two more errors and three hits closed things out. The game started out rocky for Fisher when East grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. But, KM rallied in the bottom of the inning when David Bell sent the first pitch from East starter Gavin Bright high over the left field fence for a home run.

An out later, John Harmon Melton cleared the fence in dead centerfield to cut the East lead to 3-2, and the Mountaineers later tied it on an error. The Mountaineers, sparked by Bell’s two-run homer over the left field fence, followed later by a Broome single and a passed ball, went up 6-3 in the second. During that stretch, the Cavaliers brought Preston Helton to the mound. After a short time of working out the kinks, he put down the final 10 Mountaineers in order. The Mountaineers were able to get two runs without benefit off a hit off Helton in the third, taking an 8-3 lead on a sacrifice fly by Bell and a passed ball. The Mountaineers still had two men on, but Helton buckled down to strike out Fisher to end the inning. He wouldn’t allow another base runner, striking out five of the next six KM batters and finishing with 10 K’s overall. East was able to cut the difference to 8-6 in the top of the fourth with two unearned runs scored after a two-out error. Jordan Harris’ home run over the right field fence accounted for both.

JVs whip North, East Kings Mountain High’s JV baseball team won close victories over North Gaston and East Rutherford last week. The Mountaineers scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to edge North Gaston 6-4 on Tuesday, and then scored one in the bottom of the sixth to nip a strong East Rutherford team 3-2 Wednesday. Chris Ruffalo ripped a pair of doubles and drove in three runs in the win over North Gaston. Jaxson Bolin went 2-for-3 with one RBI and Peyton Fisher

was 1-for-2 with two RBIs. Devin Pressley and Maddox Brown had a hit each and AJ Wylie scored two runs. Fisher went five innings, scattering four hits and fanning seven, and Charlie Melton worked one inning. Devin Pressley pitched a complete game four-hitter in Wednesday’s win over East Rutherford. He struck out eight. Fisher had a two-run single and Bolin also had a hit.

It’s hard to find a better month for hunting and fishing than April. With the fish biting and the turkeys gobbling, I find myself GARY MILLER in a fevered pitch trying to fit it all in. If I could just get my grass to stop growing until June, then I’d be fine. But there’s also the garage and the other outside maintenance that is calling my name as well. Since most bass fisherman love throwing spinner baits, they are in lake heaven right now. There’s nothing like feeling the sudden stop of moving bait. And there’s nothing like seeing that largemouth trying to spit out what seemed so appetizing just a few seconds before. For the land lover, the turkeys are in high gear. And it should become a little easier to find even more willing gobblers in the next couple of weeks. All in all, I’d give this spring an A+, so far. What I really enjoy is tying both of these pastimes together. I like to go fishing with my hunting gear stored readily in my boat. Then, as I cast, I listen and occasionally call. There have been a few times I’ve had to make a quick jolt to the bank in order to set up on a fast moving tom. The only thing that could make that trip any better would be to stumble upon some Hickory Chicken mushrooms on the way back to the boat, after I’ve killed a turkey. I would definitely consider that a day that was ordained and orchestrated by God. In fact, every day creation is ordained and orchestrated by God. It has a purpose and plan. It is on God’s schedule. The turkeys will lay their eggs on God’s timetable. The fish will spawn, and the doe will give birth to its fawn on that same timetable. The tree and plant life also work in unison with those who need them most. They will provide much needed food and cover for the new families that are “moving in.” Yes, it’s all of God, and it’s designed to point an undeniable finger back toward His existence and power. You and I, then, are to respond to those attributes by trusting that He also has a purpose for us and that He will fully provide all along the way. The Scriptures put it this way. Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? Yes, all of the signs tell us that God is good at sustaining that which He has created. He will especially do that for His most special creation… us.

This summer, Jaxon Chapman from Kings Mountain will join outstanding elementary school students from across the state to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM, taking place in Winston-Salem. NYLF Pathways to STEM is one of the Envision family of programs (www.envisionexperience. com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom. Jaxon was nominated to attend the forum by his third grade teacher at Bethware Elementary. In addition to participating in AIG, Jaxon is also passionate about sports and plays soccer at the Kings Mountain YMCA. Jaxon looks forward to being a part of the Envision program and hopes the diversity of his experience will help him determine his career path in the future. “As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Jaxon to meet, work, and collaborate with fellow high-aspiring students from other cities and schools,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision. “Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow.
