BOARD From Page 1A Republicans’ top pick for their county board, the former board chairman Wayne King. Without giving details, state board member Joshua Malcolm, a Democrat, made the motion. Republicans voted against the measure and Democrats and the unaffiliated member on the board voted in favor. “This is a partisan motion to remove King from the board of elections. Let’s be transparent about that,’’ GOP member John Lewis was quoted by media covering the meeting. King, of Kings Mountain, is a former Vice-President of the State Republican Party and serves as Deputy Chief of Staff for 11th District Congressman Mark Meadows, who chairs the
efficiency and safety of travel. Section 6.16 Overlay Districts lists permitted and prohibited uses, among other standards for driveways and other points of thoroughfare access. US House Freedom Caucus. The state elections board approved 400 appointments to county boards across the state. Local political parties typically select county board of election members with the state board granting approval. The nine members of the Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement unanimously voted to put the North Carolina Green Party on voter ballots across the state, along with Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians, allowing voters to register as affiliates with the Green Party and means that Green Party candidates chosen by convention in 2018 will appear on the ballots in this year’s Nov. 6 general election. It was the first meeting of the new state board appointed by Governor Cooper.

Small Business Tax Incentive Expanded Since 2016 Cleveland County has provided an incentive to entrepreneurs and small business owners by offering a tax break. Any business that qualifies receives a reimbursement of a portion of their property taxes in return for their investment in either a new business or the expansion of an existing business. At the County Commissioners’ meeting on Tuesday, March 20, they approved an increase in their level of support for those entrepreneurs and small business owners by expanding the Cleveland County Small Business Tax Incentive Grant Program. The low and high thresholds have been modified to include a greater number of small businesses. The minimum new taxable
investment was lowered from $100,000 to $50,000. The maximum new taxable investment was increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The term of this incentive remains at 3 years. This will allow more entrepreneurs and small business owners to qualify fore reduced taxes. The impact of this change will improve their bottom line but it also confirms the fact that Cleveland County, a Verified Entrepreneurial Community, is entrepreneur-and small business-friendly. For more information about this program, contact Steve Padgett, Director of the Small Business Center at Cleveland Community College. Phone 704-6694146 or email padgetts@ clevelandcc.edu.

Why do you look for the living among the dead?
Gospel Explosion At Westover
nesses came to Jesus’ tomb that first Easter morn, they were fully expecting to find Jesus ‘s body. But what good news they witnessed, Jesus had arisen from the grave. He was victorious over death and the devil, Victorious for me and for you. However, we in our own lives keep looking for the dead things among the living. We trust that God takes care of all of our needs, yet somehow and someway we have doubt, we look for things that we shouldn’t be looking for in the dead parts of our lives. But look at what God has offered us: Life, salvation, grace, forgiveness of Sin, and His very presence in our times of need. When Christ died on the cross he
Happy Easter K i n g s Mountain! If you’ve been following the Kings Mountain minRev. Joshua isterial Morgan weekly Advent Lenten Lutheran Church devotions, you would see that we’ve taken the preparation for Easter serious. Lent was a time for us to prepare to meet the risen Savior, knowing that He has risen from the dead. Hallelujah Hallelujah Christ is risen indeed Hallelujah. When those first wit-
took all of our inequity so we would have life. Let us stop looking at the Past transgressions of our life, and lock to the life that Christ has given us in His own resurrection. As we enter this first week of Eastertide, may your hearts be filled with God ‘s immeasurable and incomprehensible love for us through Jesus Christ who paid it all. For we know God sent to us victory by His Son’s death on Calvary’s Cross. John 3:16 “for God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Peace be with you this week Kings Mountain!

H OM HOME OM & Guide AR AR ARD RD D GARDEN Kings Mountain Herald
The basics of mulching Mulch is available in various forms. Like other land and garden products, mulch can go a long way toward helping plants thrive. Mulch comprises just about any material that is spread over the surface of soil. Its purpose is primarily to help soil retain moisture. In addition, mulch can staunch weed growth, keep soil cool, improve the aesthetics of garden beds, and even improve soil nutrient composition. When the right mulch is chosen, it can reduce the amount of time homeowners spend watering and weeding their gardens and insulate plants from dramatic changes in weather. Gardeners may not realize that mulch also can prevent garden soil from becoming overly compacted, according to HGTV. This can mean beneficial earthworms can move easily through the soil, creating channels for water and depositing their nutrient-rich waste products. Gardeners can choose organic or inorganic mulch. Organic mulches are derived from natural materials that will decompose over time, lending organic matter as well as various nutrients to the soil. Organic mulches
also may contain beneficial microorganisms that can fight against plant diseases. Inorganic mulches may be made of stones, landscape fabrics and plastic. Both types will need to be amended or replaced as they degrade. Those who want the most environmentally-friendly mulching materials can choose all-natural mulches instead of synthetic alternatives. To work effectively, mulch should be applied in a two- to three-inch layer of
material, state the experts at Old World Garden Farms. This is the ideal amount to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth without choking plants. Also, mulch that is too thick may make it impossible for water to penetrate, or it may prevent the soil from airing out, causing continuously wet conditions that lead to root and stem rot. The University of Connecticut Home & Garden Education Center says mulch should not be placed
directly against plant crowns or tree bases, as this can promote the development of disease. It may also serve as a habitat for bark- and stem-eating rodents. The center also suggests watering newly installed bark or wood mulches to prevent fungi from colonizing in dry mulch and causing problems like a water-repellent surface on the mulch. Home landscapers considering mulch types may find that compost, manure and grass clippings (from nonpesticide-treated lawns) can be inexpensive and versatile in garden beds. The home advice site The Spruce notes that newspaper may also be effective. Many newspapers have switched over to organic dyes, especially for their black and white sections. Newspapers are an inexpensive way to suppress weeds and act like organic mulch in beds. They can be covered with other organic mulch, like shredded bark, for more visual appeal. Mulch can be a versatile asset when doing gardening projects around home landscapes. And the benefits are more than just aesthetic.
Addressing spring ant problems The return of warm weather in the spring often marks the return of animals and insects as well. The spring season is a popular time for insects to mate and build nests. This also may be a time when homeowners see ant “swarms” in or around their homes. Ants and termites are social creatures, and when their colonies become too large, flying ants will spread out in search of new territories and to establish new queens. This mobility may also be coupled with an increasing number of ants marching on the ground and scaling walls. Although many species of ants are harmless, homeowners do not want to see ants inside their homes — especially in large numbers. The following strategies can help homeowners address ant infestations this spring. • Identify the type of ant around your property. Consult with online guides or books to identify the species of ant on
your property. Knowing which species of ant is in or around your home can help you address the problem more effectively. • Create a food trap. Ants are attracted to various food sources, such as fats, sweets and proteins. Mixing a very small amount of a food with boric acid can help control ant populations. Ants will bring tainted food back to their colonies and perish. • Keep a clean house. Use vinegar, soap and water to clean areas where ants are seen. Many leave a scent trail of pheromones to tell others where to go for a food source. • Treat carpenter ants at the source. Carpenter ants will not bring back food to the nest. Instead, sprinkle diatomaceous earth, or DE, around outdoor nests to eradicate colonies. • Work with an exterminator. If home remedies do not work, consult with a trained exterminator.

Anesthesiologists are being cut out of surgery. Conglomerate hospital systems like Carolinas HealthCare System - now Atrium Health - are considering radical changes to anesthesia care, where physician anesthesiologists may not be in the operating room when you need them the most. This could seriously jeopardize patient safety and the ability to deliver optimal care. Don’t go to sleep on radical changes in anesthesiology care. Because if an anesthesiologist is cut out of the surgical equation, then who is next?

Once a Mountaineer always a Mountaineer, Bo Goforth to be inducted into Hall of Fame (Third in a series on the 2018 Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame inductees. The banquet and induction ceremony will be held Sat., May 12 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and will go on sale April 13 at Ingram’s Barber Shop in downtown Kings Mountain and from members of the Hall of Fame Committee. Tickets, including a meal, are $15. You are encouraged to buy tickets early because it may be a sellout). His name is Warren G. Goforth Jr., but you can just call him Bo. Everyone else does. That nickname was given him by his mother, who was a native of Philadelphia and an avid fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and pitcher Bo Bo Newsome. “She didn’t want me to be called Junior so she called me Bo,” Goforth recalled. “Her dad had mostly girls so he took them to baseball games and her favorite pitcher for the Phillies was Bo Bo Newsome. I didn’t want that because of Bo Bo the Clown, so they just called me Bo.” This Bo knows Kings Mountain sports because he has been a part of them since he was a youngster playing midget football and little league baseball. He played baseball, football and basketball at Kings Mountain High and was a starting pitcher at Appalachian State University and coached youth and high school sports in Kings Mountain for many years. His success at so many different levels now leads him into his hometown Sports Hall of Fame. Because of his mother’s ties to Philadelphia, Goforth grew up wanting to be a pitcher for the Phillies. That dream ended in a nightmare in college when he was covering third on a Texas League fly ball to short left which resulted in the third baseman retreating for the ball and Bo leaving the mound to cover the hot corner. The ball was dropped and a runner bearing down from second hit him, knocked him out and permanently paralyzed his left arm.
BO GOFORTH Goforth can’t remember a time when he wasn’t involved in sports. “I always loved the competition,” he said, “I loved to practice and I could not have had better coaches. I started out playing midget football under Mearl and Gerald Valentine. People that volunteer their time to coach are very special.” At KMHS, he played football for John Gamble through his sophomore season and for Bill Bates his junior and senior years. They were two of his heroes. “Coach Gamble was my Sunday School teacher,” Goforth recalled. “His health was already on the decline then.” Less than a year after Goforth graduated in 1964, Coach Gamble died of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Goforth’s most memorable football game was during the Mountaineers’ undefeated season of 1963, his senior year. The Mountaineers and Shelby tied 7-7 at the old City Stadium (now Shu Carlton Stadium) and the two teams played the state’s first 10yard sudden death which at that time was used only to determine which team went to the playoffs if they ended the season tied for first place. “At that time it was a trial thing,” Goforth noted. “The score went down as a tie and we shared the conference championship. Neither team scored in the first overtime and we kicked a field goal in the second. We held them for three downs and on fourth down Jim Owens was about to tackle their quarterback and he threw a dead bird that tipped off my finger
right into Joe Phillips’ face mask for a touchdown.” Although that game eventually decided the conference playoff berth, Goforth said Lincolnton was the toughest team in the conference. “We were not expected to be on the same field with them,” he noted. “They had Dennis Byrd and Steve Warren and both of them went on to NC State and Byrd was a three-time All-American and played pro ball. “Lincolnton was running Byrd and it seemed like it took all of us to bring him down. But we beat them 14-7 and the season ended with us and Shelby still tied for first and they went to the playoffs.” The ’63 team featured Pat Murphy at quarterback. He went on to make All-American at Appalachian State and held all of that school’s passing records for several years. Mike Huffstickler was the go-to running back and he topped 1,000 yards rushing. Goforth played wingback, which is basically a blocking back in a wing-T formation. His limit was four carries a game. “I received the best blocking award but everybody knew I wasn’t the best blocker,” he said. “But to put all the puzzle together the wingback had to block. Coach Bates always said ‘for us to win Huffstickler has to carry the ball at least twenty times a game, and you have to block for him to do it.’” Tackling played a huge part, too, Goforth noted. The blocking resulted in 225 points for the offense while the defense held opponents to just 41 points. The most points KM gave up in a single game was eight to East Rutherford. Goforth would be the first to tell you that games are won on the practice field. “The big thing about us was that we played as a team,” he said. “But the greatest thing about our team was that we had players that had a lot of integrity and loved the game. When you love to practice you will win. We just didn’t make mistakes. We never beat ourselves.” Goforth was one of several KM players chosen
for the Lions Bowl AllStar game. It was played in Forest City with the top seniors from the Southwestern Conference facing the tops seniors from the Northwestern Conference. Goforth led the West in rushing with 49 yards, the most yards he gained in a single game. Goforth played basketball for Don Parker and he was a key member of the team. He did suffer an injury that set him back his sophomore year and Terry Leonard took over his guard position. He would letter as a junior and senior and started some, but basically was a backup to Richard Gold who had come to Kings Mountain when KM, Grover and Bethware consolidated in the fall of 1961. Gold went on to become a first team All-American baseball player at Florida State. Goforth said his high school baseball coach, Fred Withers, “was the best baseball coach I had, including college. He knew more baseball than anybody I played under. He knew every position but for him pitching was trial and error.” One of the highlights of Goforth’s baseball career was that he was the first Kings Mountain American Legion pitcher to toss a no-hitter. Post 155 shutout Bessemer City 5-0 in a game at Gastonia’s Sims Legion Park. The Bessemer City pitcher was Forrest Dover, who got his start in Kings Mountain and went on to become a pitcher at High Point College and in the minor leagues. “He was an outstanding pitcher,” Goforth recalled. “I got two hits off him that night, which was unusual. They did come close to getting a hit when a guy hit a line drive down the first base line. Jim Leigh, our first baseman, wasn’t that tall but he was able to step up on the bag and catch the ball. That probably saved the no-hitter. “I guess it was because of the no-hitter but I was the MVP that year,” he noted. “We had a lot of good players like Jim Leigh, Richard Gold and Pat Murphy.” Goforth was a four-year starter at Appalachian. As it turned out, his very first

Right is the team’s manager, Roy Pearson. game as a freshman was a four-hit, 1-0 shutout and his last game as a senior was a four-hit, 1-0 shutout. He and his former KMHS teammate, Barry Gibson of Lenoir-Rhyne, hooked up on several occasions, including a game that Goforth carried a two-hitter into the ninth inning. ASU was up 4-0 when Goforth walked two batters and the coach took him out. LR came back to win 8-4. Since any chance of playing pro ball was out because of his injury, Goforth wanted to teach and coach and Fred Withers offered him a job as a science teacher at Central School. “I told him I was not a science teacher,” Goforth recalled, “I’m a health and P.E. major. He said it didn’t matter but I needed to get my feet wet. I taught seventh grade science and when (KMHS basketball coach) Bob Hussey went back to ASU for his masters that left his heath and P.E. position open at the high school. I taught for 42 years, most of them at the high school teaching P.E. and coaching and I also did driver’s ed part-time. I had over 5,000 students at the wheel and it seems like everywhere I go to this day someone will come up and say ‘you used to be my driver’s ed teacher.’” At KMHS Goforth coached wrestling for several years (he coached state champions Alfred Ash and Chuck Gordon) and he assisted Bob Hussey with the
1969 baseball team that won the Western NC High School Activities Association championship. “I was basically in charge of the pitchers,” he said. “We defeated Statesville, which was coached by Larry Helms who was a great football player at Cherryville and Lenoir-Rhyne.” Goforth was also an assistant football coach under Bill Bates, Bob Jones, Dan Brooks and Dennis Hicks. He said one of his most memorable coaching stints was with the 1966 VFW Teener all-stars who won the North Carolina and Southeast Regional championships and finished third in the Teener World Series in Hershey, PA. Players were Ken Mitchem, Mike Smith, Gene Putnam, Wayne Mullinax, Clarence Ash, Glenn Perkins, Joe Cornwell, Geeper Howard, Darrell Whetstine, Rocky Goforth, Jack Bell, Larry Carroll, Eddie Black, John Reynolds and Corky Fulton. Goforth’s sports activities now consist of pickle ball at the YMCA and an occasional round of golf. He always plays in the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club golf tournament because it benefits KMHS athletics. “Playing ball in Kings Mountain was special,” he said. “I appreciate the coaches I had. They are the reason I went into teaching and coaching. Young people need to be around people like that.”

Lindsey Deaver scored her 18th goal of the season with 15:08 left in the first half to give the Lady Mountaineers the point they needed to break the tie for first, but the big difference in the game was the Mountaineers’ great defensive effort.

a diving save with just over eight minutes remaining on a great shot by the Crest offense. The Lady Mountaineers had to come from behind to tie Stuart Cramer 3-3 in their final pre-Easter game Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium.

What to Know About the New Medicare Cards Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the new Medicare cards? I’ve heard there are a lot of scams associated with these new cards and I want to make sure I protect myself. Leery Senior Dear Leery, The government will soon be sending out brand new Medicare cards to 59 million Medicare beneficiaries. Here’s what you should know about your new card along with some tips to help you guard against potential scams. New Medicare Cards Starting this month (April 2018), Medicare will be removing Social Security numbers from their new Medicare cards, and begin mailing them out to everyone who gets Medicare benefits. The reason for this change is to help protect your identity and reduce medical and financial fraud. The new cards will have a randomly generated 11-character Medicare Number. This will happen automatically. You don’t
need to do anything or pay anyone to get your new card. Medicare will mail your card, at no cost, to the address you have on file with the Social Security Administration. If you need to update your official mailing address, visit your online Social Security account at SSA.gov/myaccount, or call 800772-1213. When you get your new card, your Medicare coverage and benefits will stay the same. If you have a relative or friend who lives in another state and gets their card before you, don’t fret. The cards will be mailed in waves, to various parts of the country over a 12-month period starting in April 2018, and ending next April 2019. Medicare beneficiaries in Alaska, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia will be the first to receive the mailings, between April and June. The last wave of states will be Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee, along with Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. When you get your new Medicare card, don’t throw your old one in the trash. Instead, put it through a shredder or cut it up with a pair of scissors and make sure the part showing your Social Security number is destroyed. If you have a separate Medicare Advantage card, keep it because you’ll still need it for treatment. Watch Out For Scams As the new Medicare cards start being mailed, be on the lookout for Medicare scams. Here are some tips: • Don’t pay for your new card. It’s yours for free. If anyone calls and says you need to pay for it, that’s a scam. • Don’t give personal information to get your card. If someone calls claiming to be from Medicare, asking for your Social Security number or bank information, that’s a scam. Hang up. Medicare will never ask
you to give personal information to get your new number and card. • Guard your card. When you get your new card, safeguard it like you would any other health insurance or credit card. While removing the Social Security number cuts down on many types of identity theft, you’ll still want to protect your new card because identity thieves could use it to get medical services. For more information about changes to your Medicare card go to Go.medicare.gov/newcard. And if you suspect fraud, report it to the FTC (FTCcomplaintassistant.gov), AARP’s fraud help line, 877-9083360, or your local Senior Medicare Patrol program. Go to SMPresource. org for contact information. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org.

Recalling friendship with McWhirters had to introduce the student who sat behind us to the other members of the class. I introduced Shepherd Wolf Lanier, but everyone just called him “Flip”. Mr. McWhirter asked if anyone wanted to help him by operating the video camera he had set up in the classroom. I jumped at the opportunity! I had never seen a video camera before and loved the whole idea of the technology. After that experience, I was hooked. Throughout my high school career, I videotaped many events at the school. I was sent “on assignment” to Carl Sandburg’s home, Connemara. It was easier to send me than an entire class and we viewed the video in our Literature class. I was also trusted with expensive equipment and given responsibility. That appealed to me at that young age. In my senior year, Todd Gatts and I interviewed Doug Mayes when he came to Kings Mountain for one of his “On the Square” segments for WBTV. It was a wonderful experience visiting with Mr. Mayes and he encouraged us to come visit him after we graduated college. Wow! He thought I would graduate college!
Carl and Carolyn McWhirter encouraged me to take college prep classes and I immersed myself in those during my junior and senior years, attending summer school for additional math courses. It was a tough way to catch-up, but it worked. I applied for early admission at UNC-Chapel Hill and received my admission letter on January 1, 1978. I graduated with a degree in Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures in August of 1982. Over the last 43 years, I have come to admire the McWhirter’s very much. They are good people, caring for others like they cared about me. I have witnessed them nursing invalid family members, doing what was necessary to keep them comfortable for years upon years. They once “adopted” an elderly neighbor and took her food during in the later years of her life. Their compassion for others is beyond reproach. I remember watching Mr. McWhirter work with his students in the classroom. He helped them gain an appreciation of the arts and literature. He treated them with kindness and respect. We would often
read a story or novel and then watch the movie adaptation in class. Many students loved that approach and it impacted them in a real and meaningful way. I most admire that Mr. McWhirter doesn’t judge people. He accepts them as they are in life and doesn’t attempt to change them. I know this first hand. He behaved that way with me as a student and continues to do so all these years later. He always asks about my family with genuine concern and love. And I know he is sincere in the asking. I have no idea how many students Carl McWhirter and Carolyn McWhirter taught during their professional careers. With a classroom size of 30 and two semesters in a school year, I am sure they taught more than 20,000 students between them. They have touched the lives of many. I have no doubt that Mr. McWhirter will survive this ordeal. But his family’s healing will go far beyond the wounds inflicted.

BC Annual Easter Egg Hunt Fun In The Sun
The Bessemer City Parks & Recreation Department would like to thank all volunteers and participants for attending the March 28th 2018 Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Kevin Millwood Park. The evening was
filled with joy and candy for all present! For more information about the Bessemer City Parks & Recreation Department mission or future events please visit www. bessemercity.com or call (704) 629 – 5111.
City Hall Customer Service/ Finance Division Relocation On Friday, March 2, 2018, following an air quality test, the City of Bessemer City was advised that City Hall’s HVAC system, along with some ceiling tiles and a portion of the ductwork that service both the first and second floors, is in need of replacement. The building’s HVAC system is causing a moisture issue in the air at City Hall. The report indicates that there are elevated counts of Alternaria and Clado-
sporium in the Customer Service/Finance Division office space on the first floor of City Hall. Although this mold exposure is not toxic, it can affect individuals with autoimmune deficiencies. More information on these mold types is available at https:// www.cdc.gov/mold/faqs. htm. The City will relocate the Customer Service/Finance Division to the Kiser Senior Center (123 West Pennsylvania Avenue, Bes-
semer City, NC 28016) on Monday, March 26, 2018. The division will remain at the Kiser Senior Center until repairs and cleanup efforts are completed. Programming at the Kiser Senior Center is canceled, or will be relocated to the Allan Farris Community Center (when possible) until further notice. For further information contact James Inman, City Manager at 704-629-5542 or jinman@bessemercity.com.
