Teal ribbons for Ovarian Cancer Awareness month

Suzy Beard presents the Beard Bell to Atrium Health CMC Main 4-B in memory of her husband Howard Beard.

The Beard Bell rings hope Howard Beard fought a type of blood cancer called Myelodysplastic (MDS) syndrome. He spent 14 of the next 18 months in the hospital in Charlotte fighting this disease. He received a bone marrow transplant on May 31, but other complications prevented him from getting better. After a hard fight, Howard passed away on August 1, 2018.

The Beard family want to honor their loved one and thank the 4-B staff at Atrium Health – CMC Main for the care, kindness, and love they had for Howard and his wife

Suzy during the long hospital stays. From that desire, the idea of the Beard Bell was formed.

“Patients will ring the bell when they leave the hospital.

It represents the completion of their journey, whether it be in-part or all. Either way, it represents completion and patients ring the bell as they depart,” said Suzy.

“The purpose, and hopefully the satisfaction, will be when people ask about the Beard Bell and what it means.

The nurses can enlighten them on Howard’s story, to the fact that he didn’t give up, he fought with dignity, kindness, and even humor sometimes. And even though he didn’t make it, he fought the battle. Hopefully the staff can enlighten people on our

love for one another during this most difficult journey of our lives.”

The Beard family plans a blood drive this October and hopes to make this an annual event. Suzy said, “I want the length of time Howard fought this disease to matter and to do something to help others. The disease requires many blood transfusions, so we hope our efforts can help with that.”

Last Friday, September 7, the Beard family dedicated the Beard Bell at Atrium Health and began their new journey helping others, inspiring them to not give up. Hope is a precious gift.

Thanks to his family, Howard Beard will inspire others with the gift of hope for years to come.

On September 1, Mayor Scott Neisler and the City Council of the City of Kings Mountain proclaimed September 2018 as “National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month” to increase public awareness of ovarian cancer.

To remind our citizens about Ovarian Cancer, the City decorated the Overhead Bridge with teal ribbons.

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States.

The mortality rate for ovarian cancer has not significantly decreased since the “War on Cancer” was declared more than 40 years ago.

The lack of an early detection tests means that approximately 80 percent of cases of ovarian cancer are detected at an advanced stage. All women are at risk for ovarian See RIBBONS, Page 3A

Kings Mountain Fall Litter Sweep will be Saturday, September 15 through Saturday, September 29, 2018 – Enjoy some time outside with a group of your friends, family and or coworkers and do a “litter sweep” of your neighborhood. Use any plastic trash bag and then place them on the edge of the road in a pile for the street or neighborhood and the city will collect them.

MAIN STREET From Page 1A

Main Street. A community begins with an analysis of economic drivers, an inventory of downtown and community assets, the market potential and the strengths and weaknesses internal to downtown, plus the opportunities and threats that are external to downtown.

“The Main Street Program is an asset to the City of Kings Mountain as it is through this program and its Four Point Approach and Principles, which consists of four committees (Design, Promotion, Economic Vitality, and Organization) that all downtown concerns can be addressed such as strengthening existing businesses, recruiting new businesses, revitalization, historic preservation, economic development and creating spaces and places where people will want to eat, shop, live, work and play. Through the Main Street Program, downtown can become more than a destination. It will become an experience.”

At the state level, the North Carolina Main Street and Rural Planning Center reported that the program helped create 1,410 new jobs, 275 new businesses and nearly $230 million in investment in fiscal year 20172018.

“The cities and towns represented in this report saw an increase of more than $30 million in investment over last year, demonstrating the health of communities that participate in the Main Street program,” commented N.C. Department of Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland.

NC Main Street Program Today, Main Street communities range in population from 1,760 – 88,815, but all had populations of less than 50,000 at the time of designation. Main Street programs are managed by a local public-private partnership made up of city and county staff, elected officials, a Main Street director, a board of directors and a host of community volunteers.

Main Street communities reported the following results from their 2017-18 work: • $222,523,817 in down-

CC Public Health Center extends hours for school immunizations All children in North Carolina are required to be vaccinated against certain diseases before entering kindergarten and seventh grade.

Students must have received their required immunizations within 30 calendar days of school admission, which for this school year, is September 25, 2018.

In an effort to help working parents and guardians get these required immunizations for their children, The Cleveland County Public Health Center will be extending its Immunization Clinic hours on the following dates and times: • September 17 – September 20, 2018 from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm • September 24 – September 25, 2018 from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm In addition to these extended hours, the immunization clinic will continue to operate during its normal hours of Monday – Friday from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Walk-ins are welcome in the immunization clinic – no appointment is necessary.

Dorothea Wyant, Health Director of the Cleveland County Public Health Center, shares, “We realize that it can be difficult for parents to take time off of work to take their children to the doctor to receive their vaccinations. That is why we are

offering immunizations on select dates until 7:00 pm.

Hopefully, this will make it easier for parents while ensuring we are doing our part to protect children from vaccine preventable diseases.”

Seventh graders must receive the Tdap and Meningitis vaccines and kindergarteners must receive a number of vaccines. The diseases vaccines prevent can be dangerous, or even deadly. Vaccines reduce your child’s risk of infection by working with their body’s natural defenses to help them safely develop immunity to disease. As children get older, they require additional doses of some vaccines for best protection. Older kids also need protection against additional diseases they may encounter. As a parent, you may get upset or concerned when you watch your child get shots during a doctor’s visit.

But, all of those shots add up to protection for your child against dangerous infectious diseases. Help support your child’s wellness and education – get the school required vaccinations.

For more information about the required school immunizations, you may visit https://www.immunize. nc.gov/schools/ or call the Cleveland County Public Health Center at 980-4845100.

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Leave your ego at the door every morning, and just do some truly great work. Few things will make you feel better than a job brilliantly done.

– Robin S. Sharma

Pieces of Kings Mountain History

By Loretta Husky Cozart I am intrigued by the fact that Kings Mountain once had lodgings in LORETTA the downCOZART town called the Mountain View Hotel.

It wasn’t the first hotel, however. Jacob S. Mauney and his wife owned a hotel on the East Gold Street and Battleground Avenue in 1874 – 1875. That structure was later moved to Cherokee Street.

Over the last few months, I have learned a good bit about the Mountain View Hotel.

The structure was quite large, much bigger than the Joy Theater that now occupies that spot.

Melvin Ware told me about John Jackson, who moved to Kings Mountain to work at the Mountain View Hotel in 1901. I found a letter online with Mountain View Hotel Letterhead dated January 12, 1900. The author that wrote it indicated he was in the hotel and insurance business. From this, we know the hotel was in business as early as 1900.

Later, two sisters owned the hotel: Agnes and Emma Norris. Agnes handled the business side of things, and the establishment was well known for the quality of food served in their dining room.

Mr. Jackson took care of many tasks at the hotel for the Norris sisters. In

The Mountain View Hotel c. 1940 the “History and Program Commemorating the Centennial of Kings Mountain 1874 – 1974”, Jackson’s daughter, Missouri Morgan shared, “My father… worked over 40 years at the old Mountain View Hotel. Many remember that among his duties was ringing the dinner bell on the big front porch. He also took trays onto the trains. The price of dinner was 35 cents.”

Belle Miller F (unreadable) shared her recol-

lections, “The food at the hotel was excellent, and well-known in the county.

All the business men up and down the main street used to eat their noonday dinner with Miss Agnes.

When it was ready, she would send the waiter, John Jackson, out on the front porch to ring the bell for them. Even the train employees would ask that trays be sent to them on the train.

“Once a stranger passing through town

William Jennings Bryan in front of the Mountain View Hotel c. 1920s

Gene Brown and Friend posing in front of hotel c. 1940

stopped and asked Miss Agnes if she had heat in the hotel. Miss Agnes indignantly replied, “Of course we have heat!

Each room has a laundry heater, and we have fireplaces in the Dining

Room AND the Drawing Room!”

“The bathroom facilities were located in a small brick building to the rear of the hotel not far from the Neal’s barn.

The Misses Norris ran this

hotel for 36 years, and it became a meeting place for many civic clubs and the’ place for families to dine on Sundays.”

In 1923, Oscar Carpenter, president of the See PIECES OF KM, Page 7A

John McCain – Chart a new course

Mountain View Hotel in the background in early 1900s.

Looking back Seventy years ago, on September 17, 1948, Kings Mountain prepared for the Mountaineer’s opening game of the season.

Ads were purchased by local merchants cheering the hometown team to victory. Due to the polio ban, children under the age of 16 were not allowed

to attend the game that night. The Central Mountaineers faced-off against the Hendersonville Bearcats at City Stadium on Gaston Street.

I respected Senator John McCain.

I loved him as a war hero and a fellow Glenn Mollette American who Guest Editorial served his country in an astounding way.

Few people in our country will ever accomplish all that McCain accomplished in his life. He served his country in the military, suffered as a prisoner of war and became one of the most respected United States Senators in our nation.

He came to my Kentucky hometown when he campaigned for President in 2008. I am told the one sight he wanted to see in our town was the house President Lyndon B. Johnson visited in 1964.

Johnson put our county on the map and one of our families as the “poster child” of American poverty. He and his entourage visited a family with the promise of lifting them and all poor American families out of poverty. The man he visited died about as poor or poorer than he was the

day Johnson visited him.

John McCain had a good heart to come visit us. He respected us enough to consider our votes were important enough to expend energy our way. I have to appreciate anyone who shows this kind of respect.

I’ve been to the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

It’s a stately, regal place; a national treasure. The campus is unreal. To be buried in that special cemetery is a respected honor.

I’ve never heard of a Prisoner of War that wanted to be caught. All POWs are ‘caught’, as best as I know. Being a POW is not a vacation or anything one would want to endure.

My wife’s grandfather was a POW in the Philippines. He suffered at the hands of the Japanese for four years. He was forced with 80,000 others to walk the Bataan Death March, barely surviving it.

His imprisonment was something he couldn’t talk about. When he got back to the United States he weighed less than 90 pounds. When he got home he was met by his wife and two daughters – one, that he had never seen, was not quite four years old. He moved his family to Long

Island where he worked construction. He never received any parades; was never elected to public office, nor did he ever run for office. He lived a quiet life, died of lung cancer at 65, and was buried by family and friends who celebrated his life without any national attention. His name was Lyle Harlow. He was a Prisoner of War. He was an American hero.

Sen. McCain’s funeral strongly suggested celebration and admiration of a great American.

May the celebration of his life be symbolic of Lyle Harlow and thousands of other Americans who suffered as POWs. Many never made it back to America. Or, they made it home and gave their lives working and raising decent families.

If all Americans could just shut up and stop insulting and hurting each other it would make us better.

Surely, heaven and earth were all astounded

by John McCain’s life and demeanor. May it be that kind of demeanor and behavior ‘wows’ us and charts the course of this nation.

God made provision for us to carry on our way, with God’s help and guidance.

So, Kings Mountain, please hold fast to your Christian Walk! Christ will never leave us nor forsake us! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” Proverbs 3:5-6.

■ LIFESTYLES

DAR and Wreaths Across America Stealing Lincoln’s body presentation at Mauney Library September 17 at Mountain Rest Cemetery Local DAR members have begun efforts to honor veterans at Mountain Rest Cemetery this December on National Wreaths Across America Day. The ceremony, held simultaneously across the country at more than 1,200 locations, will be on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018. The goal: to place a live, balsam fir wreath at the grave of every veteran buried at the cemetery and to acknowledge their patriotism and sacrifices they made for our country.

From now until Thanksgiving, volunteers will host various fundraisers to sponsor wreaths needed to honor every veteran at Mountain Rest. Each wreath sponsorship costs $15, with $5 ultimately going to the local DAR chapter.

Wreaths can be purchased individually, or quantities of two, five, or ten. Those who wish to sponsor a wreath can do so online or by contacting Loretta Cozart at lhcozart@ cccom.com. Cozart is the Veteran Partnerships Chairman of the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter.

You may honor a living veteran or remember a specific veteran buried at the cemetery. Corporations and civic groups may also purchase wreaths to support the project. There are opportunities to participate in this event, by purchasing wreaths to placing them.

“Every donation and

wreath sponsorship are a meaningful gift from an appreciative supporter who knows what it means to serve and sacrifice for the freedoms we all enjoy,” said Karen Worcester, executive director of Wreaths Across America.

“We are so grateful to the Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter for participating in our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach.”

“In addition to purchasing wreaths, volunteers will be needed to place the wreaths on the graves on December 15th. If your group or company would like to purchase wreaths or help place them during this event, please let me know,” said Cozart. “We encourage Scout Troops, Veterans Groups, Civic Groups, and individual citizens to join us that day. Many hands make light work, and this

event will be a wonderful opportunity for members of our community to honor our local veterans during the Christmas season. Paired with the luminaries used in December, the wreaths will make a beautiful way to honor the veterans from our community.”

National Wreaths Across America Day is a free event open to everyone. To donate online, please visit https://donate.wreathsacrossamerica. org/?pageId=44543&relatedId=44544 and click the red sponsor button. Or, scan the QR Code (below) with your phone or tablet.

Constitution Week is September 17-23, 2018

By Robin Masters Meyer

Next week is dedicated to celebrating an important document from our Nation’s history. A document that is as relevant today as it was at the founding of our Country.

As a member of the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution I am proud of one of our leaders who was instrumental in establishing September 17-23 as National Constitution Week. Before I go into that story, I want to point out something that has struck me as important in recent months concerning the beginning of that document.

Have any of you had to memorize the preamble to the U.S. constitution? For most of my life I had it memorized thanks to a cartoon series that used to be very popular called School House Rock. They put it to a catchy tune and I can still sing it to this day. The preamble to the U.S. Constitution begins with the following: “We the People of the United States of America…”. I’ll say that again, …”WE THE PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA”. It doesn’t say “We the Continental Congress” or “we the landowners” or “we the legislature” or “we the President”. It says WE THE PEOPLE. It is our document. It was established by the people for the people.

If you listen carefully, this one paragraph says everything that is important for a nation to survive and thrive.

It’s a pretty powerful paragraph when you really think about the meaning behind the words.

We the people of the United States of America, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves

and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

So, what does the Preamble to the Constitution have to do with DAR. We are a PATRIOTIC Lineage Society and the objectives of our Society are the same today as they were at our National founding 128 years ago – Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism. Each year September 17-23 is designated Constitution Week.

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started in 1955 by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Our then President General Gertrude S. Carraway (who was from New Bern, North Carolina) was responsible for the annual designation of Constitution Week. You see, DAR made its own resolution for Constitution Week, which was adopted April 21, 1955.

The National Society then petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week.

The resolution was adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August 2, 1956, by Miss Carraway’s good friend, President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Today, Constitution Week is celebrated by setting up displays in schools and libraries, obtaining city proclamations, providing copies of the Constitution and Bells Across America. This is an event that is scheduled for September 17, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. For one minute church and community bells are rung to celebrate our Constitution. Can you imagine what a wonderful sound it would be if you stepped outside on that day at that time and heard all of Kings Mtn.

Dr. Kevin L. Burke will present the fascinating story of, “The Attempted Theft of Abraham Lincoln’s Body in 1876” at the Mauney Memorial Library in Kings Mountain on September 17, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. The free presentation is open to the public. Registration is required.

This is the true story of a bizarre and surprisingly comedic caper that took place more than a decade after the death of one of America’s most beloved Presidents. A bumbling gang of Chicago counterfeiters attempted to steal Abraham Lincoln’s body and to ransom the government for its return.

Dr. Burke will discuss how the Secret Service and a comedy of errors foiled this criminal plot.

Shortly thereafter, owner Mr. Saunders put a notice in the paper that the Mountain View Hotel was put up for sale. I’m not sure what happened to the Norris sisters, but am still piecing the story together.

By 1947 the Cash brothers bought the property with the intention of building a new state-of-the-art movie theater. By September 1947 the building was razed, and the lot cleared to begin construction on the Joy Theater.

From these examples, we can see that the Mountain View Hotel was the hub of business, political, and social activity in Kings Mountain, drawing in locals and the famous from around the country.

One can hope that we will one day have another hotel downtown. A welcoming place known for good food and warm lodgings for all our citizens and visitors to enjoy.

KM 48, CUTHBERTSON 19

KM-SHELBY

It’s KM & Shelby, ‘nuff said Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will face by far their toughest test of the young season when they travel to Shelby Friday night for a 7:30 p.m. game against the Golden Lions at Blanton Stadium.

The Mountaineers go into the contest with a 3-0 record while Shelby is 1-3, but don’t let that record fool you. The Lions play one of the toughest schedules in the state and they will be well-prepared for this test.

Shelby opened its season a month ago with a win over a very good Morganton Freedom team, but since then they have lost consecutive games to Burns, AC Reynolds and Crest, all very good teams.

Kings Mountain’s three victories have come against South Caldwell, TC Roberson and Cuthbertson, who have a combined record of 0-11.

Although the Lions and Mountaineers are no longer in the same conference, this is always one of the biggest games of the year.

Had Kings Mountain’s school board hadn’t cancelled the 1943 football season because of World War II this would be the longest running rivalry in the state, dating back to 1922.

Kings Mountain coach Greg Lloyd knows this is going to be his team’s toughest test, and to remain undefeated the Mountaineers will have to play their best game of the season – by far.

“Like always, they have a ton of speed,” Lloyd said of the Lions. “They are wellcoached and they’ve played an extremely tough schedule, probably the toughest schedule anywhere.”

In another county rivalry game last week, the Lions fell to undefeated Crest 27-7, but as the old saying goes, the game was much closer than the score indicates.

“They had some opportunities against Crest but just didn’t make the best of them,” Lloyd noted. “They are still very good. They have a good, tall quarterback with good receivers. He has a lot of guys to throw to.

“They also have one of the best defenses around,” Lloyd added. “They have excellent linebackers and a very fast secondary. And they are really good on special teams. They play a very tough schedule. They’re a good football team and they are going to have a good year. They play smart. I see a good ballgame against two rivals.”

This game will complete the Mountaineers’ non-conference schedule for this season, and Lloyd wants his team to make some big strides.

“I want to see us improve this Friday night, and on down the line,” he said.

Lloyd said he was disappointed in the Mountaineers’ high number of penalties last week.

“We need to play a cleaner game,” he said.

He stressed again, that the Mountaineers should not look at Shelby’s won-lost record.

“Every game we’ve won has been against teams that haven’t won a game,” he noted.

“Every game they’ve lost has been against very good teams. They play the most competitive non-conference schedule around.

“They have a great offensive team. Their quarterback is very impressive. He throws the ball well and he hides the ball good, and he has a quick release. He’s going to make you work.”

The Cuthbertson defense has no hope of catching KM speedster Christopher Brittain as he races down the sideline for an 80-yard touchdown catch and run in last week’s 48-19 Mountaineer win.

Air assault destroys Cavaliers Kings Mountain and Cuthbertson filled the air with passes in Friday’s non-conference football game at Gamble Stadium, but it was the Mountaineers’ second half bombs that meant the difference in the home team’s 48-19 win.

The winless Cavaliers from Union County gave the locals their toughest test to date, and actually led for most of the first half. But, Kings Mountain scored late in the second quarter to take the lead for good, and continued the heavy artillery in the second half to post their third straight win.

Cuthbertson senior quarterback Davis Walker hit 18 of 38 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown, but only 28 of those passing yards came after halftime when the Mountaineers made some defensive changes and shut him down.

Meanwhile, Mountaineer quarterback Kaylon Wade was even more on target, hitting 11 of 17 passes for his personal career high of 335 yards and five touchdowns, giving him 825 yards passing and 14 See CAVALIERS, Page 3B

KM gals serving up early victories Kings Mountain High’s women’s volleyball breezed to victories over a pair of Gastonia rivals last week to remain undefeated at 4-0 in the Big South 3A Conference and 11-0 overall heading into a non-conference game Monday against Clover, SC. Last week’s conference wins were over Hunter Huss and Ashbrook, both by 3-0 scores. Both were relatively easy and allowed head coach Heather Paysour to get all of her players on the floor.

Mountaineers won 25-11, 25-16 and 25-18.

Kyann Crocker had 12 service points and played overall good defense. Layla Harris provided 15 assists and Abbie Harris had eight kills and five service points.

Freshman Aaliyah Byers had seven kills and two blocks.

In JV action, Kings Mountain won 25-12, 25-22.

Riley Carroll had five kills and Savannah Poston 10 service points. Lily Gold had five service points and did a good job setting the offense.

The JVs improved to 3-1 in the conference and 8-3 overall.

The Lady Mountaineers had little trouble disposing of Hunter Huss Tuesday at Parker Gymnasium.

The varsity rolled 25-3, 25-10, 25-8 after the JVs did the same, 25-11, 25-9.

In varsity action, Lindsey Deaver had 20 service points and played great defense. Kyann Crocker had 15 service points and played well defensively. Layla Harris had 16 assists and three kills and Aaliyah Byers added See KM GALS, Page 3B

Kali Weaver pitched Kings Mountain Middle over Shelby in the season opener last week.

Patriots split with Shelby, Crest Kings Mountain Middle School opened its softball season last week with non-conference games against county rivals Shelby and Crest.

In the opener against Shelby, the Lady Patriots won 26-6 in a four-inning

contest.

Austyn Dixon, Alayna Patrick and Paige Bagwell led the Patriots attack with three hits each. Caroline Barber and Makalyn Rikard also had multiple hits.

Kali Weaver started and pitched two scoreless in-

nings to earn the win. Barber and Patrick pitched an inning apiece.

On Thursday, the Lady Patriots jumped out to 2-0 lead after one inning and the lead stood for three innings.

But Crest tied it at 2-all in the top of the fourth and

went on to win 9-2.

In KM’s first inning rally, Dixon led off with a double and Patrick provided a twoout RBI single. Weaver fol-

lowed with a double to score Patrick.

Sam Harelson, Lindsey Wilson and Paige Bagwell also had hits for the Patriots.

Kings Mountain was scheduled to begin conference play Tuesday at home against Lincolnton.

KM second to Jags in home run Kings Mountain’s boys finished second and the girls third in the Mountaineers’ only home cross country meet Wednesday.

The event was scheduled for eight teams, but because of rain and lightning was postponed from Tuesday until Wednesday and ended up a four-team meet.

Forestview swept the meet. The boys won with 35 points to Kings Mountain’s 40. Stuart Cramer ran third with 57.

The Forestview girls finished far ahead of Stuart Cramer 24-49, with KM running third with 53.

Cramer’s Willer brothers – Nick and Zach – took individual honors by running 1-2 in 16:47 and 16:48, respectively. Kings Mountain’s Caleb Barnes ran third in 17:16.

In the girls race, Forestview’s Sophia Raspanti (17:46), Madison Lowery (19:49) and Phoebe Raspanti (20:01) were the top three.

Kings Mountain freshman Marlee Arnold was fourth in 21:04 and senior Nicola Bridges fifth in 21:34.

Kings Mountain’s boys had four runners in the top ten. Following Barnes were Parker Key in seventh, Dallin Campbell eighth and Jalen Roberts tenth.

Dylan Williams ran 12th, Jesse Hughes 15th, Aiden Wilson 16th, Justin Mathis 19th, Wyatt Wilson 32nd, Tucker Leatherman 36th, Kaleb Estridge 37th, Noah McMurray 43rd and Mark Allen 49th.

CAVALIERS

Mountaineers

From Page 1B touchdowns in just three games.

The Mountaineers grabbed a quick 7-0 lead when they drove the opening kickoff 71 yards to score on a 26 yard pass from Wade to Kobe Paysour. A screen to Quintin Davidson that went for 32 yards, and a fourth and six slant to Paysour got the Mountaineers into scoring position.

The lead didn’t last long, though, as the visitors returned the ensuing kickoff to the KM 41. After a five-yard KM offside penalty Walker hit Griffin Kelly for a 36-yard TD that tied the score.

From there the visitors kicked two field goals to go up 13-7. Christopher Brittain’s 60-yard catch and run regained the lead for KM at 14-13, but Brendan Sroczynski answered with another field goal midway of the second period to regain the lead for the Cavaliers, 1614. The Mountaineers scored on another Wade to Paysour pass – this one for 64 yards with just 56 seconds left on the first half clock – for a 20-16 lead at intermission.

The Mountaineers held the visitors to just one more field goal in the second half while breaking the game open to run their point production to 145 in just three games.

Even though the win ended up lop-sided, Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd had nothing but high praise for the Cavaliers.

“I thought they were the best team we’ve played,” he said. “I knew their offense would be a big test for us.

The quarterback made some good throws and he was very efficient. Their offense was definitely good.”

The Mountaineers settled down in the second half and looked more like the one that blew out South Caldwell 42-6 and TC Roberson 55-0 in their first two outings. Both of those games were played under a running clock in the second half. The Cuthbertson game was the first one the KM starting skill players

“I am glad we got a tough game,” Lloyd said. “Our first team had only played four quarters. We did some good things and had some big plays on offense. It would help if we could have more sustained drives to keep our defense off the field so much.”

The coaching staff put Wade and Paysour on defense in the second half, and that helped shut down the Cavaliers.

“We played a little better once it appeared they were going to pass on every down,” Lloyd noted. “We were trying to cover man-to-man with two safeties behind them.

Having Wade and Paysour out there didn’t hurt. They’re both such good athletes. We were having a lot of cramping issues and trying to keep more bodies on the field.”

The Mountaineer defensive line and linebackers did a great job as well, with guys like Zach Crawford, Jeremiah “Pork Chop” Brown, Chris Ruffalo, Michael Pruiksma and others keeping the heat on Walker. Walker was sacked numerous times and the Cavaliers picked up only three first downs in the second half – two on penalties and one on the last play of the game.

Meanwhile, the KM offense was having a field day.

After KM’s second half kickoff was returned to the 39 yard line, a chop block pushed the visitors back to the 22 where they were forced to points and Shaelin Smith eight digs and four kills.

Wednesday, the KM ladies swept East Gaston in a non-conference doubleheader. The JVs won 25-13, 25-18 and the varsity 25-13, 25-18, 25-17.

Kings Mountain took possession at its own 33 and eight plays later ran the lead to 27-16 on a 37-yard pass from Wade to freshman running back Marquis Adams.

A pair of 15-yard penalties on the same play – a pass interference and a dead ball personal foul against the Mountaineers – got the visitors to the KM 31 where Walker hit Griffin Kelly with a 20-yard pass and a first down at the 11 yard line. A sack by Pork Chop Brown for minus six yards, and a loss of 14 by Dalen Teasley, who was hurt on the play, resulted in the Cavaliers settling for a 37-yard Sroczynski field goal for their final points of the night.

After Sroczynski’s kickoff sailed out of the end zone, KM took possession at its own 20, and on a third and 10 play Wade hit speedster Christopher Brittain in stride

for an 80-yard touchdown and a 34-19 lead at the 2:47 mark.

On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, Paysour intercepted a pass at the Cuthbertson 24 and Wade scored on a one-yard sneak on the first play of the fourth quarter to run the score to 41-19.

After two more Cuthbertson three-and-outs, sandwiched around a KM fumble, the Mountaineers partially blocked a punt at the Cavaliers’ 30, and reserve quarterback Belton Pressley went nine yards off right tackle to close out the scoring.

“I thought we did a good job,” Coach Lloyd said. “I thought Wade and Adams and Ussery did a good job running the ball. We still have a long way to go but it was a good night. We need to do a better job covering kicks, but we beat a good team.”

AND

Kings Mountain High’s women’s tennis team continue its winning ways into the record book over the last three weeks by dominating five and increasing its overall record to 6 – 0.

The Lady Mountaineers beat Crest in a non conference match 6-3. Unfortunately the Lady Mountaineers were without their top seeded player (Natalie Lutz) due to her having a county golf tournament, therefore forcing all players to move up a position. Madelynn Frye forced a three set tie-breaker against the Crest Charger top seed (Miranda Adair) as Frye came up short by the score of 6 – 4, 4 – 6, 6 – 10 (3rd set tie-breaker). Frye gave Adair all she could handle and more but a few miscues during the third set tie-breaker cost her the set and the match.

“It was a great match amongst two great players in our conference, but Adair made less mistakes during the end of the match,” noted KM coach Rick Henderson.

MC Johnson, playing the second seed, was very impressive as she outlasted her opponent by the score of 6 – 3, 6 – 0. Rounding out the other wins for KM was Jasmine Guy by the score of 6 – 0, 6 – 3, Kassie Johnson by the score of 6 – 2, 6 – 1, and Anne Scott Baker winning 6 – 4, 7 – 5.

The Mountaineers proved too much during doubles competition by outplaying the Chargers by winning two of the three doubles.

On August 27 the Lady Mountaineers crushed Clover by the score of 5 – 1. Below are the results of that match.

LETTER TO EDITOR NC High School Athletic Assocation monitors impending arrival of Hurricane Florence “Like all North Carolinians, the NCHSAA Staff is monitoring the impending arrival of Hurricane Florence.

Per policy, the regular season schedule is primarily governed by the member schools and conferences. On Monday, due to numerous calls and emails, the NCHSAA offered the following suggestions for schools and districts to consider as they evaluate upcoming schedules: Pay attention to state officials and orders issued from the Governor’s office Local school policies must be adhered to during the regu-

lar season Every decision should be made with the safety of all participants in mind. This includes players, coaches, students, spectators and any others.

The NCHSAA Handbook Rule 2.2.8 addresses postponed contests and should be considered when it becomes necessary.

At this time, it is premature to think about whether the regular season will be extended, and playoffs pushed back. Any announcement, if necessary, would come from the NCHSAA office at the appropriate

time and would be communicated to member schools before it is communicated to media and the general public via the Association website.

We encourage all North Carolinians to take necessary precautions and follow safety guidelines issued by local and state governmental agencies.

Let us all make the right call by looking after ourselves, our families and our neighbors during the next several critical days in our state.”

NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker

Which Flu Shot Is Right for You? Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve been reading that there are a bunch of different flu vaccines for seniors this flu season. Which flu shot is right for me?

Flu-Conscious Carol Dear Carol, It wasn’t that long ago that if you wanted to get protected from the flu, you simply got a flu shot. But now days, there are so many flu vaccine options you might feel like you are ordering off a menu. To help you decide which flu shot is right for you, you need to consider your health, age and personal preferences. Here’s what you should know.

Flu Shot Options Just as they do every year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a seasonal flu shot to everyone 6 months of age and older, but it’s especially important for seniors who are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications. The flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills an average of 24,000 – 80 to 90 percent of whom are seniors. Here’s the rundown of the different vaccine options (you only

need to get one of these): Standard flu vaccines: If you want to keep things basic, you can’t go wrong with a “standard (trivalent) flu shot,” which has been around for more than 40 years and protects against three different strains of flu viruses. This year’s version protects against two A strains (H1N1 and H3N2), and one influenza B virus.

Or, for additional protection, you should consider the “quadrivalent flu vaccine” that protects against four types of influenza – the same three strains as the standard trivalent flu shot, plus an additional B-strain virus.

Senior specific vaccines: If you’re age 65 or older and want some extra protection, you should consider the “Fluzone High-Dose” or “FLUAD.” The Fluzone High-Dose has four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, while the FLUAD contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59. Both vaccines provide a stronger immune response for better protection.

Egg allergy vaccines: If you’re allergic to eggs, your flu shot options are “Flucelvax” or “FluBlok.” Neither of these vaccines uses chicken eggs in their manufacturing process.

ly this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it.

Fear of needle vaccines: If you don’t like needles, and you’re between the ages of 18 and 64, your options are the “Fluzone Intradermal” or “AFLURIA” vaccine.

The CDC recommends that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations – Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at different times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection.

The Fluzone intradermal flu shot uses a tiny 1/16-inch long micro-needle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like standard flu shot. While the AFLURIA vaccine is administered by a jet injector, which is a medical device that uses a high-pressure, narrow stream of fluid to penetrate the skin instead of a needle.

You should also know that if you’re a Medicare beneficiary, Part B covers all flu vaccinations, but if you have private health insurance, you’ll need to check with your plan to see which vaccines they do or don’t cover.

Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especial-

If you haven’t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 first, followed by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least one year apart.

To locate a vaccination site that offers both flu and pneumonia shots, visit Vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
