Oh, the weather outside is frightful

By Loretta Cozart Due to inclement weather, the Downtown Holiday Market was canceled last Saturday. But Santa and his elves have a deadline to meet, so Santa’s Workshop at Trackside Traders was open for the children to share their Christmas wish lists with jolly old Saint Nick himself.

Christmas is fast approaching and there are only two weekends left to go downtown for the Hometown Christmas on December 15 and 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Carriage ride tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children ages (3 – 12), and children three and under are admitted free. Tickets will be sold (cash only) in the Cherokee Street parking lot, behind the buildings on Battleground Ave. Carriage rides are available Saturday, December 15 and 22 from 5:30 p.m.

Poor Pearl Jones. Christmas of 2018 was supposed to also be her "golden anniversary." But with the recent death of her husband, there is nothing for her to enjoy in this season; in fact, she can’t even sing the chorus of Silent Night… for her, there seems to be no “heavenly peace”.

First Baptist Church of Kings Mountain will be presenting two performances of “A Christmas to Remember”, an original drama writ-

ten by several of the church’s ministers and enhanced with a variety of both traditional and fresh musical styles.

As a contemporary Christmas story, the play’s setting is the town of Hope Springs, readying for it’s annual Market Square Christmas lighting ceremony. This year’s event is quite special: the opening of a time capsule that was buried during the Christmas celebration fifty years ago.

The audience becomes

the townspeople viewing the preparations of the festivities, the elaborate presentation of the “official” ceremonies, and the behindthe-scenes look at Pearl and her daughter’s family who are trying to support her through this tough time.

But her family cannot take the place of her now gone Frank, and it appears that Pearl is now without any sensation of the peace of Christmas …until she hears See CHRISTMAS, Page 2A

Windjammers 30th annual Ride for the Children

Saturday, December 15 is the 30th Annual Ride for the Children coordinated by Windjammers Motorcycle Club. Riders will gather at Cleveland Mall and leave for Aaron’s House in Lattimore at 1:00 p.m. The parade route will be down Marion Street, through Shelby to Hwy 74 and on to Aaron’s House.

This very unique Christmas tradition provides Christmas toys for boys and girls who are in the Cleveland County foster care system. The monetary gift goes to Children’s Homes of Cleveland County for needed items all year long – school pictures, class rings, clothing and sporting activities.

More than $500,000 in toys and monetary gifts have been donated in the previous 29 years.

In addition to local motorcycle riders there are usually riders from surrounding counties as well as some antique cars that join the parade.

Of course, Santa takes the lead - sometimes on a Harley, or a firetruck or in a military vehicle. Everyone is welcome to join the parade or to be a spectator along the way.

It really demonstrates the Christmas spirit is alive and well in Cleveland County.

“We’ll be honoring more than 400 veterans at Mountain Rest Cemetery this year,” said Renee Bost, Regent of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter. “This is not only an opportunity to remember veterans, but also to teach our young people the importance of remembering and honoring veterans year-round.

What our children learn from us, they will remember long into adulthood. The Wreaths Across America motto is ‘Remember, Honor, Teach.’

There is no better way to teach our children this valuable lesson than to have them help us as we remember these veterans at Christmastime.”

NORMAN From Page 1A sheriff’s deputies, 75 detention officers, and several part-time and special deputies also took their Oaths of Office. Many family members, friends, elected officials, and citizens attended the ceremony.

Sheriff’s Chaplain, Dr. J. Eric Davis, of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church; Dr. Timothy Sims, Senior Pastor of Bethel Baptist Church; and Dr. Barry Goodman, Senior Pastor of Faith Baptist Church, addressed the assembly, offering inspiring spiritual messages.

Alan Norman has served as Sheriff of Cleveland County since 2010. In November, he won re-election with a staggering 87% of the vote.

From December 2011 to December 2017 the overall crime rate in Cleveland County decreased 38 percent, with Breaking and entering cases being down 45.7 percent.

Going forward, Sheriff Norman says he, “will continue to fight the war on drugs and continue to push for higher salaries for Deputies and Detention Officers”.

Two KMPD officers injured Saturday night

By Loretta Cozart On Saturday evening, KMPD Officer Crosby and Officer Proper were struck by a vehicle while responding to an accident on the westbound on-ramp to the Highway 74 Bypass from North Piedmont Avenue.

One officer sustained minor injuries to his lower leg and the other sustained

injuries to his leg and knee and a cut in his ear. He will be out for a while pending additional medical treatment. Both were treated at the hospital and released.

"Both officers are doing great and, like myself, are very thankful that both survived and are on the road to recovery. This could have ended much worse," Interim Police Chief Lisa Proctor

said.

"This is a prime example of how if you don't need to be out on these roads unless it is an emergency.

When you choose to get out in these conditions, you choose to place yourself and others including our first responders in greater danger."

The North Carolina Highway Patrol is handling the case.

THE SAVIOUR IS BORN

We Celebrate Christmas Luke 1 The Birth of Jesus Foretold 26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

34”How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[c] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.” 38”I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

Feed the Children Day a huge success

By Loretta Cozart On Friday, December 7 from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Cormetech, Feed the Children, and the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry distributed food and essentials to 400 area families.

Distribution took place in the Cherokee Street parking lot.

Families receiving support were pre-identified by the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry through local school counselors working with the children in most need of assistance. Each family received a 25-pound box of food, a 15-pound box of essentials including personal care items and toys.

More than 18 percent of

families in Kings Mountain live below the poverty line.

With the help of Cormetech’s generous donation and the support of Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry, Feed the Children helps feed those in need in North Carolina communities.

“This was a great event,” said Mayor Scott Neisler. “Cormetech is a great corportate partner that cares about the people of Kings Mountain. This is the second year they sponsored ‘Feed the Children Day’ and I couldn’t be happier with the turnout last Friday. Thanks to Cormetech, the Kings Mountain Crisis Minsitry, and Feed the Children, many Kings Mountain famililes will have a brighter Christmas

this year.”

In fiscal year 2017, Feed the Children distributed 79.8 million pounds of food and essentials to children and families in the U.S. Internationally, it provided nutritious food or other benefits to 1,080,000 children, empowered 291,000 parents to make better decisions for their children, and positively impacted more than 1,200 communities and schools in 10 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Mary Visits Elizabeth 39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

Mary’s Song 46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name.

50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.

51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.

52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful 55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.”

Luke 2 The Birth of Jesus 1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

3 And everyone went to his own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Shepherds and the Angels 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14”Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

■ MEDITATION

The Gift of Your Presence

Have you ever been in any of the following situations: everyone is acknowle d g e d JOHN L. HOUZE except Pastor, you, being Peoples Baptist treated as Church though y o u didn’t exist, not being chosen to be on the team or the last one chosen, being snubbed because of your outer appearance or made to feel as if no one cared?

For some people, similar

feelings happen around the holidays; it’s called depression. But believe it or not and contrary to popular belief, depression and suicides are much lower during the holidays because our interactions are with people who have a better or more festive attitude; even grumpy folks grin during the holidays This why Christ was born, to make life better for all mankind, so let us try and do the same. We all have our various traditions but try to include others who would really appreciate your kindness.

I have my wife to thank for recommending years

ago that we stop exchanging gifts since all our kids and grandkids were grown (except one). We decided to have a Christmas Eve dinner and invite others who might not have anyone or limited family or friends with whom to share Christmas. We still do this as a part of our Christmas tradition and the fellowship, meals and games are rewarding to all who attend. Just to be able to bless someone is an awesome feeling, but the joy you receive in return is the greatest gift of all. In addition to the wonderful memories we make, it reminds us the reason Christ came was to

share His love.

Let’s face it, how many of us remember or truly value what we received for Christmas last year Did you really need another shirt, pair of socks, tie, perfume, shoes or that ugly Christmas sweater? It is truly much better to give than to receive, so why not give someone one of the greatest gifts you have, your presence. Isn’t this what God did? He gave us the gift of His presence when He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. Be Blessed.

Presidential funeral train carries George W. Bush to final resting place

By Loretta Cozart On Thursday, December 6, 2018 George H. W. Bush was laid to rest next to his wife, Barbara, at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University. On the last leg of the funeral procession, Bush was transported by train, making it the first Presidential Funeral Train in the last 49 years.

President Bush loved trains, as evidenced by his whistle-stop tour through North Carolina on Octo-

ber 21, 1992. Many Kings Mountain citizens welcomed the president as he passed through the community.

The Union Pacific 4141 George Bush locomotive was unveiled on October 18, 2005. This is only the sixth time that Union Pacific painted a locomotive in colors other than their signature “Armor Yellow.”

Commenting on the locomotive at the unveiling, Bush said, "It's a wonderfully emotional day for us.

It's a great day for Texas

A&M and for the Bush Library and this train is going to go all across the country and I am very grateful to Union Pacific and Dick Davidson, my friend, for making this possible for us to have this unveiled here."

Since production, the UP No. 4141 George Bush Locomotive has delivered shipments across all 23 states served by Union Pacific.

The 41st President of the Unites States, George H. W. Bush served one term in office from 1989 – 1993.

Lights on in McAdenville for 63rd year

By Alan Hodge Special to the Herald The weather didn't cooperate, but nonetheless the Yuletide spirit was warm as toast for the 63rd annual holiday light show in McAdenville- aka Christmas Town USA. The lighting ceremony took place in front of the Pharr family YMCA. The lights will remain on until Dec. 26.

As has been the tradition for several years, a student from McAdenville Elementary School threw the switch that turned on tens of thousands Christmas lights and other yuletide displays in the village.

The student that was selected from McAdenville Elementary School to turn the lights on this year is Tyler Lucas Singleton.

His parents are Maurice and Tiffani Singleton. He is in Mrs. Prillaman’s Kindergarten Class. He lives in McAdenville. His favorite thing about school is Reading. His favorite thing to do at home is to play football and his favorite video game” Super Mario”. His favorite food is a Chick fil A nugget meal.

His favorite color is blue.

He was thrilled about flipping the switch to turn on the “Christmastown USA” lights this year.

“I'm so excited to be on the stage and turning on all the lights,” Tyler said.

Going to see the lights this year? Here are some McAdenville Christmas Lights viewing tips.

Best time to see the Christmas lights- If possible visit on Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday or Thursday nights. A tremendous increase in traffic occurs on Friday – Saturday and Sunday nights.

Please remember the times- Monday – Friday 5:30 until 9:30 PM; Satur-

day and Sunday 5:30 until 11:00 PM. Lights will go off regardless of the number of cars in line. All Christmas lights in the common areas of town are on timers, which turn the lights on and off at pre-set times.

Respect Private Residents- Walking is a great way to see the Christmas lights, the decorated homes and to hear the sounds of the church chimes. However, when walking through town, please stay on the sidewalks and never go in the yards or on porches of our residents. The decorated homes are private residences, please be respectful while walking.

Questions and Answers How much does it costThe light display is free, no cost whatsoever.

Where can I park and what is the cost- There are four parking areas in town; A parking lot is located behind the McAdenville Baptist Church/Caromont Clinic. Another lot is located on Poplar Street, behind the small business area of town. A large parking lot is located beside the lake in the heart of Christmas Town. A parking lot beside the McAdenville Elementary School is a great place to park for those entering from US Highway 29-74. Feel free to park at any of four locations at no cost.

How long is the route thru Christmas Town- The route is approximately 1.3 miles long, on weekends it may take 30-45 minutes to drive the full route, most weeknights it will take less time.

Entrance and Exit Points- There is only one route through Christmas Town. If you enter town from Interstate 85, once you get to the town limits, continue through town

Lights throughout McAdenville are spectacular as usual. (Photos by Alan Hodge) until you reach U.S. Highway 29-74. At this point you will leave Christmas Town. If you enter town from U.S. 29-74 (coming from the Charlotte area) continue through town until you reach Interstate 85. At this point you will leave Christmas Town .

Are hayrides permittedYes, however, the wagon etc. used for the hayrides must be pulled by a Motor Vehicle. Animals pulling Wagons, Horseback Riding etc. are not permitted on the Christmas Town Route.

Are the light turned on in inclement weatherYes, more then 30 timers throughout town turn the lights on and off regardless of the weather conditions.

I have a dog, are animals allowed to walk thru Christmas Town with their owner?

Yes, however, all animals must be on a leash and controlled by their owner.

No person may, during the month of December launch, land or operate any unmanned aircraft system (UAS) from within the Town Limits of McAdenville.

Frosty got a little wet but he didn’t care.

Congratulations To KM Intermediate School Spotlight Jada Hardin Mrs. Hardin is new to KMIS but not education. She began her journey as a teacher assistant and bus driver in the Reading Lab at East Elementary. She then moved to Grover as an assistant and driver.

N.C. House approves nearly $300 million in additional Florence recovery assistance “We are fortunate to be able to do this because of prudent budgeting and tax structure that we are able to tap into a nice rainy day fund in order to do this,” said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Jimmy Dixon.

Senate Bill 823 further directs the Governor’s administration to develop a 5-year plan to replenish the funds transferred from the Savings Reserve to the Hurricane Florence Recovery Fund.

Provisions in the legislation also allow the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) to redirect up to $20 million of appropriated funds to provide loans to high-need

counties impacted by Hurricane Florence.

Finally, the bill reforms reporting requirements and auditing procedures for funds spent on recovery for both Hurricanes Florence and Matthew by transferring this authority to the state’s new Office of Recovery and Resiliency established in October.

Nearly $100 million will remain in the Hurricane Florence Disaster Recovery Fund if the legislation is approved. Almost $1 billion remains in the state’s savings reserve.

“This piece of legislation is very powerful for farmers, for fishermen, for local small business, again getting funding into these

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb University’s online nursing programs have achieved national recognition. OnlineColleges.com, an education information website, ranked the GWU Hunt School of Nursing (HSON) as No. 9 in the country.

“The Hunt School of Nursing has a proud legacy of providing a faith-based nursing education within a close-knit, supportive learning environment,” observed Nicole Waters, HSON dean. “We are honored and blessed to receive this recognition of our nursing programs.”

The website’s editors reviewed over 250 schools to compile the list. They analyzed data from the National Center for Education Statistics Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and a methodology that took into account graduation rates, admission rates, tuition costs and more. They also praised the school for offering online resources, such as counseling, personal and professional development, and academic and technological support.

“The faculty and I are committed to our HSON philosophy, to prepare students to care about and for individuals through the lifespan, to enhance the status of the global community, and to make significant contributions for God and humanity,” Waters affirmed. “We are dedicated to the success of students and to advancing the professionalism and the profession of nursing.”

Gardner-Webb offers an online RN to BSN program for undergraduate students.

of you now! lect one of three different tracks for their online MSN program: nursing administration, nursing education or family nurse practitioner. Post-graduate certificate programs in nursing administration, nursing education and family nurse practitioner are also available. In recent years, the MSN program has also received multiple honors from such sources as College Choice, the U.S. News & World Report and RNtoBSN.org.

Lawmakers also waived makeup days for school districts in October that were hit-hard by Hurricane Florence to help local education communities focus on immediate facility and scheduling needs instead of state calendar standards.

Additionally, the state legislature approved agreements to extend voter registration deadlines in October and allow local county election boards to replace hurricane-damaged poll sites. It further required state and local elections boards to educate local citizens about their options for voter registration and casting ballots.

hard-hit areas,” Dollar said. “We are going to be well-positioned as a state.

I would like to mention in North Carolina, probably unlike almost any other state, we’re able to address this historic crisis from our savings reserve, so no tax increase and no requirements to cut any services in our state as we handle this disaster.”

“I think that is a wonderful legacy this General Assembly is leaving for the future—and I hope future legislatures will keep the same kind of policies. It has put us in a position to actually help people even more than what we have been able to help people in the past for similar disasters.”

ber and developed by the state Department of Agriculture prior to the direction of state dollars to the fund.

“Once again, we had a historic natural disaster for this state, we have had a historic response in this state,” said senior House Appropriations Chairman Nelson Dollar (R-Wake).

“We are in a very smart, very methodical way, in a very responsible way, a way in which you will have accountability moving forward, putting another section of the funding out there to address our highest priority needs.”

Of the nearly $300 million appropriated in Senate Bill 823, $23.5 million of will be spent to repair and renovate K-12 public school facilities. Lawmakers also spent $60 million for public school facility needs in the October disaster recovery session.

More than $18 million is allocated to match federal funding to mitigate and remediate coastal storm damage to beaches and dune systems. The new legislation spends $10 million on commercial fisherman assistance, $5 million for loans to small businesses.

Courthouses damaged by the storm will also receive $1 million to replace equipment and cover unexpected costs due to the storm closure.

AND

The North Carolina House of Representatives approved nearly $300 million in additional Hurricane Florence recovery last week to aid victims of the state’s second major storm in two years.

In October the state General Assembly first convened to direct nearly $800 million from the state’s record $1.8 billion reserve to a new Hurricane Florence Recovery Fund.

Almost $400 million of that initial commitment was distributed to assist public schools, universities, local governments, housing needs, and community colleges.

The initial package in October also included tens of millions more dollars to aid behavioral health, community hospitals, small businesses, mosquito abatement, coastal beach renourishment, dredging, commercial fisherman and marine debris cleanup.

Last week, the House passed Senate Bill 823 Hurricane Florence/Supplemental Act, which directs $240 million to support famers in North Carolina devastated by over $1 billion in agriculture losses by Hurricane Florence.

The aid will be disbursed through the Hurricane Florence Agricultural Disaster Program of 2018 that was established by the General Assembly in Octo-

The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town.

The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade.

Photo by Alan Hodge working jaws, large and colorful butterflies, and more. The lamps were created

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework.

Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation.

“I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.”

During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society.

Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends.

“I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress.

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about.

At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions.

The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting.

The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered NC Cooperative Extension master gardener Dana suggestions.

Harper is a fan of backyard chickens. She’s seen with See CHICKENS page 3 one of her flock.

Mountaineer season ends at Catholic, 30-7 Charlotte Catholic took advantage of a Kings Mountain fumble to grab a quick 7-0 lead and rolled to a 30-7 victory over the Mountaineers in the Western 3A championship game Friday in Charlotte.

The win moved the Cougars to the state championship game for the ninth year in a row and ended the Mountaineers’ season with a 12-3 record.

It was the KM’s third 12-win season and second Western championship appearance in the past four years. They fell to South Point in the 2015 championship game.

The Mountaineers have made it to the NCHSAA Western Regional championship game five times, in 1997 and 1998 under Ron Massey and in 2008, ’15 and ’18 under Coach Lloyd.

“We just ran into a very strong team, the best we’ve seen in a long time,” Lloyd said of Catholic, whose nine straight trips to the state championship came at both the 4A and 3A levels.

“Their defense was especially strong. We haven’t run into a defense as good as theirs. The front four was so good they were able to drop a lot of people into coverage.”

Three turnovers didn’t help the Mountaineer cause.

The Cougars recovered

a KM fumble on the third play of the game at the KM 34. On their first play from scrimmage, Paul Neel went around end for a touchdown.

After an exchange of punts, Kings Mountain was getting back into the game, driving from its own 38 to the Catholic 24, but a third and nine pass that could have tied the game was intercepted by Catholic’s

second half with Brian Jacobs returning the kickoff from the 22 to the KM 35 before being tackled from behind by James Ussery.

From there, it took the Cougars just five plays to score with McDowell bulling in from the one for a 21-0 lead.

Ussery returned the ensuing kickoff to the Catholic 45 to set up the Mountaineers’ only scoring drive. It took six plays with Kaylon Wade sneaking in from a yard out at the 6:57 mark of the third period to cut the margin to 21-7. Kobe Paysour caught passes of 12 and 28 yards to set it up.

The Mountaineers were held to 3-and-out and a total of only two yards on their next three possessions while the Cougars wrapped up the victory on a safety and 43 yard TD pass from Walton to Michael Neel.

The big killer for the Mountaineers in the second half were Catholic two punts inside the KM five yard line, including one that was batted out of the end zone and marked inside the one yard line.

Kings Mountain was able to mount another drive after Neel’s score with 3:44 remaining, going from its own 20 to the 50 in eight plays. But a pass interception with 1:24 left, followed by the Catholic QB taking a

Daniel Boll in the end zone.

Following a KM punt, the Cougars covered 65 yards in just three plays.

After a couple runs by big running back Lamagea McDowell, Cougar quarterback Chris Walton found Michael Neel all alone behind the KM secondary for a 55 yard TD and a 14-0 lead that stood until the half.

The Cougars started the

Hospice plans fundraiser, luminary display For most people, Christmas and the holidays bring happy and busy times full of fun and joy. But for those who have lost a loved one recently, this time can carry a wide mixture of emotions. Each year Hospice Cleveland County (HCC) provides a way for family members to remember their loved ones with a special luminary display at the Shelby court square. This year’s “Lighting the Way” display has been rescheduled to take place on Friday, Dec. 21, 2018, from 6pm-9pm due to incelement weather.

“The holidays bring memories of times past and anticipation of holidays yet to come,” says Pam Sharts, director of marketing and public relations for HCC. “Memories are our way to hold on to the people we love, and the holiday season is a beautiful time to reflect on the happy times we shared with those so dear to our heart.”

For each contribution of $10, a luminary will be placed on the court square. Each luminary will be labeled with the name of the individual to be remembered. There is a limit of one name per luminary. Forms and ordering information are available by calling 704-4874677 or online at www.hospicecares.cc.

In addition to the “Lighting the Way” celebration, this year HCC is also sponsoring a “Holiday Prize Extravaganza” to be held Friday,

December 14, starting at 6 pm, and featuring a raffle at 7pm for a number of prizes, including a 14-carat diamond watch valued at more than $4,000. Other drawings will be held for a Yeti cooler, a fire pit, a luggage set, a 43-inch smart TV, a Kindle, a WORX circular saw, a dinner and wine tasting for 10 people, a hot air balloon ride, an overnight Biltmore escape and numerous gift cards.

Tickets for the raffle are $20 and are available at the Hospice Administration Building, Testa Family Hospice Store, the Hospice Store, Computer Connections or online at www.hospicecares.cc.

“Proceeds of the raffle will go to support the general operations of Hospice Cleveland County,” says Sharts. “One $20 raffle ticket donation can pay for medications for a Hospice patient for two days.”

“The luminaries will be displayed on the Marion Street side of the court square starting on December 21, at 6 p.m. and will remain until 9 p.m.,” says Sharts. “We ask that folks look for the Hospice tent to receive a program listing all of the luminaries. We will also be selling hot chocolate, ornaments, Christmas cards and other holiday treats.”

“We look forward to seeing everyone for this special celebration and fundraiser for Hospice of Cleveland County,” says Sharts.

For more information about any of the events or the raffle, call 704-487-4677 or visit www.hospicecares.cc.
