KM area voters go to the polls Tuesday Kings Mountain area voters will go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3 to help elect county, state and national political leaders in an election season unlike any others because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Polling places open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. Kings Mountain area polling places are: Kings Mountain North at Patrick Senior Center, 909 E King Street; Kings Mountain South at Central United Methodist Church, 113 S. Piedmont; Bethware at Bethlehem Bap-
tist Church Activities Center, 1017 Bethlehem Road; Oak Grove at Oak Grove Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 1022 Oak Grove Road; and in Grover at Town Hall, 207 Mulberry Road. COVID 19 safety measures at polling places include social distancing, hand sanitizing and masks for voters and election workers who do not bring their own, barriers between election workers and voters at check-in tables, single use pens for voters to mark ballots and frequent cleaning of surfaces and equipment.
Several races involving area candidates are of interest to local voters. Local poll watchers point to the school board as the local race to watch because of the number of candidates, 10, and its significance because the results could also determine the majority Party on the 9-member board. Five Democrats and 5 Republicans seek the five open seats on the board of education. Candidates are Republicans Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Greg Taylor, Rodney Fitch and Ron Humphries. Democrats are Michael
Four more days of Early Voting Early voting continues for four days at Mount Zion Baptist Church, 220 N. Watterson Street, in Kings Mountain. Evening hours today (Wednesday) through Friday are 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Saturday hours are 1-5 p.m. No ID is required except for those registering who can also cast their vote at the same time. Safeguards are in place as voters cast their ballots including masks for all poll workers and voters who don’t bring their own, single-use pens for voters to mark their ballots, sanitation stations and protective barriers. The site is professionally cleaned throughout the 17-day voting period and election workers routinely sanitize all surfaces.
Tolbert, Samantha Davis, and Roger Harris, Richard Hooker and Shearra Miller, incumbents. Two other contested races involve local candidates. Four men seek the three open seats on the Cleveland County board of commissioners. They are Republicans Ronnie Whetstine, Johnny Hutchins, incumbents, and Kevin Gordon, and Shaun Murphy, Democrat. Jennifer Childers, Democrat, is challenging Republican Tim Moore for his District 111 NC seat in the
House of Representatives. The Presidential race, down to the home stretch, has four candidates from four Parties but chief interest locally is the hot race between the incumbent President Donald Trump, Republican, and Joe Biden, Democrat, former Vice President in the Obama administration. Other candidates are Don Blankenship, Constitution Party; Howie Hawkins, Green Party; and Jo Jorgensen, Libertarian. Local voters are also interested in the NC Governor’s race where incumbent
Roy Cooper, Democrat, is challenged by Dan Forest, Republican. Also running are Al Pisano, Constitution, and Steven DiFlore, Libertarian. The United States Senate race has also heated up in recent weeks. Incumbent Thom Tillis is challenged by Democrat Cal Cunningham. Also running are Shannon Bray, Libertarian, and Kevin Hayes, Constitution. Incumbent NC State Senator Ted Alexander of Shelby, District 44, Republican, is challenged by Democrat David Lattimore.

Helen Bullock turns 103 By Loretta Cozart Helen Williams Bullock celebrated her 103rd birthday on Sunday, October 25. Bullock has experienced a lot in her lifetime. The year after Bullock was born, the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 swept across America and eventually the world. This year, Bullock battled and survived the Coronavirus. “I got through it,” Bullock said. “I was lucky, because I had no symptoms. To live to my age requires being healthy.” Any other year, Bullock would have celebrated her birthday at the First Baptist Church where she is a mem-
ber. This year, the pandemic and Governor Cooper’s executive orders don’t allow for large gatherings. So, White Oak Manor, her friends and family arranged for a special drive-thru celebration so well-wishers could help her celebrate the big day. “My birthday was so nice,” she said. “I spent the day answering phone calls and greeting people at the window,” a popular way for friends to visit loved ones in assisted living centers due to the Coronavirus. “I got calls from cousins, one even visited me early. Other friends from Florida had an accident on the way. They are okay, See BULLOCK Page 5

success well beyond your expectations.” He added, “This was not easy to open a restaurant in the middle of a COVID virus.” Hubbard thanked everyone, saying, “I am a little overwhelmed by the crowd, but I’ve been overwhelmed since the day we opened by the support of so many of the faces here. Not just the support of getting this
place off the ground, there are many you who helped in the background. Since we’ve opened, there have been so many challenges.

Letter to the Editor In Response to Glenn Mollette Opinion Article “If Trump is not reelected, America will be hurting” from Oct. 21, 2020 KM Herald
forget Trump said he was going to get Mexico to pay for it (the wall) and he ended up taking the money out of the military budget. Hello Mr. Mollett, very few manufacturing jobs came back! I'm still selling furniture made over seas, and there are car parts still being put together in Mexico! I'm sure many people would love to find one of those $15.00 an hour jobs you are talking about. As a matter of fact, I challenge you to find a job in North or South Carolina that would pay much over minimum wage especially in the western areas. There are approximately 12.5 million people out of work (partly due to the virus) in this country! Many would love to find the $15.00 an hour jobs you are referring to! Maybe you could write an article about all these jobs!!! Talking about the tax relief for the wealthy, the "trickle down theory" has been tried many times and has never worked. The people who need the money never get it. It almost always goes into the pockets of the wealthy people and Trump has made many of them much more wealthy during his 3-3/4 years in office. You are right about people wanting to work but the health insurance isn't going to change under Biden, he
"Joe Biden believes to his core that there’s no greater economic engine in the world than the hard work and ingenuity of the American people. Nobody has more respect for the working women and men who get up every day to build and sustain this country, or more confidence that they can meet the challenges we face." "If Trump is not reelected, America will be hurting" America is already hurting! Right off the bat, I felt the title was threating and I reacted very defensively. To make sure I do not miss the opportunity to respond to the entire article, I will follow Mollette's format as much as possible. First of all, I have never heard one word about Biden tearing down the wall. My guess is that Mollette felt he could make up things as he wrote his article! That was one of the scare tactics Trump used to get elected in the first place, that caravans of human trafficking, terrorism and let's not forget the rapist in all these innuendos. Let's not
just wants to improve what is already there. The idea of socialized medicine came from Bernie Saunders. Biden has never supported that option. Trump likes to use it as another one of his scare tactics. As for the medical costs in this country, they have continued to rise and uninsured people can't get the help they need. Trump's plan is to eliminate the social security deduction and put an end to social security, as we know it, now. The professionals say that at that rate, social security will only last until approximately 2013. What are all those people going to do without their income? Many of us have paid into the SS program most of our adult lives and depend on that income. With many of the Senators taking big kick backs from the pharmaceutical companies they can't afford to vote against them, ergo, high prescription prices! NC Senator Tom Tillis has benefitted greatly by taking advantage of the pharmaceutical scheme. Another scare tactic used by Trump is the idea Biden would defund or eliminate police all together, that is an out right lie!!!

Some visitors had the opportunity to visit with Bullock but had to maintain social distancing and wear masks.
BULLOCK From Page 1 but their car was totaled. Friends from First Baptist Church called with wellwishes. It was wonderful.” Bullock's parents, Wray and Emma Mae Ware Williams, owned a farm where Watterson Street and Waco Road intersect. In 1941, she remembers that Watterson Street was opened from Davidson School to Waco Road. “Back then, that road just separated pastures and fields,” she said. “My parents decided to move out to the country. They were able to get a newer house with air conditioning. It was much more comfortable, and they were lucky to have that in their older years.” Bullock remembers walking to West School and then to Central High School. She attended West School from first-grade through sev-
enth-grade. "We walked to school and joined with other families along the way. Walking to West School and Central wasn't too bad. When we walked all the way to East School, that was hard," she said. “In those days, we didn’t have buses, so everyone walked to school. If it rained, daddy would drive me.” Bullocks parents had a farm, so she didn’t go into town often. “If mama needed something, she would send me to Mr. Gantt’s store, at the corner of Waco Road and Gantt Street. It was the only store I knew about back then and it was across the road from the Pauline Mill Mama would send me there for necessities; things we couldn’t get from the farm like salt and pepper, necessary things.” During her junior year of high school, Central School burned, and students attended two different schools while the facility was being rebuilt.
They attended East School in the morning and then went to Central late in the day. On some days, that schedule was flip-flopped. "The auditorium and classrooms below did not burn. Classes in those sections included primary grades and home economics," said Bullock. "We went to school in the evening for Home Economics, and I played basketball on the auditorium stage." Her high school class photo was taken in front of Central School. "I guess they finished rebuilding the school by graduation in 1934. It was tough dividing our class time across two different schools, but we got through it. We had 37 or 38 students in our senior class." "I do remember singing in the Glee Club for President Hoover when he came to the battleground in 1930," said Bullock. "Of course, we didn't get to stay to enjoy the celebration. As soon as we
finished singing, they took us right back to school." After high school, Bullock attended school at WC-UNC, later called the Woman's College of Greensboro. Today it is known as UNC-G. She earned a double major in Home Economics and Science. After college, she taught both classes in Seaboard, NC for four years. While there, she met her future husband, Welford Bullock. When World War II began, life changed dramatically. Bullock's brother was drafted. Her boyfriend, Welford Bullock, volunteered for the Navy and was stationed in the Pacific. Helen felt the call to serve and joined the Army but was turned down. A short time later, she applied again and was accepted in the Women's Army Corps. Helen said, "I joined for my well-being. It was an exciting time in my life." She worked in Intelligence for the Army, "The most exciting time I remember was an invasion that occurred during our shift. We went to work at 7 am before the invasion occurred. We worked through the night and weren't allowed to change shifts; they brought us food. It was exciting to know what was going on and to be a part of that." Helen and Welford Bullock married in 1944 before her tour of duty ended in May of 1945. "That was a difficult time of me," she said. After the war ended, the couple returned to Seaboard, NC, where she worked as a teacher of Science and Home Economics until she her re-

He has no intention of doing any of that. He believes people who break the law and set fire to businesses should be punished but everyone should be treated equal. There have been a lot of unfortunate situations occurring with the police and citizens around the country, Biden does not ignore those situations, he actually denounces them. Biden said he wants there to be a better way of handling situations that arise and he is planning to work with the police in this regard. The terrorism that has occurred, has been many of Trump's militant followers that consist of white supremacist, racist and KKK participates. Even the Neo-Nazi up rising in Charlottesville was not condemned by Trump. This country has no room for that type of terrorism. We are all equal in the sight of God and the constitution. So Trump is going to get rid of Social Security, the affordable care act and continue to cater to his top 1% wealthy friends. Trump does not care about the average citizen in this country

Bullock got ready to greet those who visited her for her birthday. Photos by Christy Speed tirement. "We moved back to Kings Mountain to take care of my sister, Maud Williams McGill," said Bullock. "She wasn't well and needed us." After McGill passed away, the Bullocks remained in Kings Mountain. Welford Bullock passed away in 2003 and Bullock now lives in White Oak Manor. "Christy Speed takes care of my clothes and business affairs. She does a wonderful job for me; she is very professional." Speed feels a similar admiration for Bullock. “She is an amazing person. She always does for others and continues to stay active,” she said. “Before COVID,
Helen ate lunch in the cafeteria and stayed active. I enjoy working with her because she has led an amazing life.” Helen Bullock has lived an interesting life and survived two pandemics. She has seen tremendous change in the city in her 103 years. But the pandemic is different, because it causes isolation, which is difficult for many people, including senior citizens. “The days are hard to fill now. We don’t have activities here due to the virus, so I welcome creative uses of my time to fill the day. We’ll get through this too, one day at a time.”
and does not understand their needs. He does not want to talk about the virus that is plaguing this country and has killed over 200,000 family members and friends. Trump has been saying there is a cure just around the corner, two weeks he says. Now since some people continue to gather in crowds unmasked and not following simple social guidelines the virus is spiking again. It's not going to just go away. Medical professionals say at best the end of the year or into 2021 for a vaccine. Biden has a plan to rebuild and support people so that this virus can at least be managed in a way doctors and the CDC recommend. Not closing down again! Then we will see things slow down, ready for the vaccine to be administered to everyone. Oh by the way, please show us, your readers, just what infrastructure Trump has rebuilt in the past 3-3/4 years. My guess is none! The only thing that Trump has done is keep the PPE from the people that really need it like hospital workers and people who work in frontline jobs. Trump is taken care of so he doesn't worry about anyone else! There for, people around
him have tested positive covid! Questioning whether or not you can have freedom of religion is a total falsehood. Biden is a far more religious man than Trump can ever think of being. If you would concentrate on being kind and understanding toward your neighbors and other people, this would be a much better country. Telling people what they should do or should not do is being authoritarian. No one has the right to judge what people do, if you want to worry about babies, look into the crisis in Texas. They separated all those parents and children, luckily most have been reunited. There are 545 children still in cages and they can not find their parents. Now that would be a good cause to get involved in, instead of something that hasn't even happened Some of the best people I know in the clergy are not judgmental. They are warm and giving. After all, the only being I know of that is afforded judgement is my Heavenly Father! Sincerely Submitted, Teri G. Deal Kings Mountain, NC

Hope in the Lord Today completes the final installment, Hope in the Lord. I have enjoyed this Dr. Jonathan exploration M. Bundon of why we Worship Pastor can put our First Baptist Kings Mountain trust and have confidence in the Lord. Now, I would like to share what it means to put hope into action. As mentioned before, trials will come in this life, but we are encouraged in Romans 12:12 to “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful
in prayer.” I was starkly reminded of this as I participated in a recent funeral. Though sadness and grieving accompany funerals, this funeral reminded those in attendance of the faithfulness of God and the hope we have in Christ, lived out in the life of one dear lady. She exemplified to all those around her what it meant to live out your faith. She was a prayer warrior, a leader in the church and community, loved her family, and loved her Lord above all else. Even in her last days, she remained confident of the hope she put in Christ
Part 4
so many years ago. Why? Her hope in Christ was not a one time decision, but rather a daily walking, trusting relationship. I’m reminded of the hymn which states: Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His Word. Just to rest upon His promise, just to know “Thus saith the Lord.” Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, how I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er. Jesus Jesus, precious Jesus, oh for grace to trust Him more. If you do not know Jesus and walk with him daily, it’s impossible to
live with the kind of confidence and trust-filled life conveyed in these lyrics. To be sure, a relationship with Christ can be contrasted with a relationship with a friend. It takes time to trust someone, and trust can be broken. Humans are imperfect and often make the wrong choices and decisions. Where humans fail, God does not. The perfect God who loves you has proven himself trustworthy over and over again will never fail you. Place your hope in Christ and live out that hope every day. Rest assured, you will not regret following Christ. When we put our hope and trust in Christ, we will not only look forward to the life here on earth, but also the
Wednesday, October 28, 2020
life to come. 2 Corinthians 4:18 reminds us “so we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what, is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” While we walk this earth together, may we be kind to each other, encourage one another, and remind each other of the hope we have in Christ. I leave you with a prayer of blessing found in Romans 15:13. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

DAR celebrates Day of Service By Libby Putnam, Chapter Regent The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution recently celebrated the National DAR Day of Service on October 11. Each year the Day of Service honors the anniversary of the founding of the
DAR on October 11, 1890 in Washington, D.C. Chapters and individuals are encouraged to engage in meaningful service projects in their communities each year at this time. This year the members of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter DAR donated bags of treats to the workers at
Summit Place, White Oak Manor, and the Hospice House in honor of service to their residents. The Daughters of the American Revolution is a society founded on service and DAR members across the country have logged almost 2 million hours of Service to America hours this year.

Memories of Halloween past in KM By Loretta Cozart Halloween in Kings Mountain has changed over the last century. Fifty years ago, I remember cars lining the streets near the Pauline Mill and kids piling out of trucks beds and vans in full Halloween costume. They’d go from house to house yelling “Trick or Treat” and collecting bucket of candy along the way. Store bought costumes in the ‘60s and ‘70s, if you could afford one, were a printed outfit you would step into, with a tie at the back and another at of the collar. The mask was made of plastic and was held in place by a rubber band. Later versions were made of fire retardant material, but we lived dangerously in the ‘60s. The masks were hard to see

Monkey Man-Mal Brutko, comes out every Halloween to entertain trick-o-treaters and neighbors. He has been doing this for many, many, years! Photo Shirley Brutko through, so parents or older siblings usually accompanied a group of trick-or-treaters from house to house. Scotty Price lived in Kings Mountain in the 40s and ‘50s. She fondly remembered that “Central School had a Halloween Carnival each year and that’s what I remember most. It was fun to see teachers dressed as gypsy fortune tellers and play the games. One hall in the main building was decorated. My friend Rose and I liked to dress as Indian princesses.” “My dad said in the ‘20s – ‘30s the teens always went uptown on Halloween with Rocks in their socks, hitting people, and turned over outhouses etc. Heavens!” she shared. “Daddy always wanted to go park downtown when I was little (‘40s) and see the people parading up and down Mountain St in costumes. It was always on Oct. 31, no matter the day of the week.” Joe King shared, “I remember going to Harris funeral home and they gave out full size candy bars.” Ernest Davis wrote, “I lived in KM in the late 50’s and early 60’s. I was a member of the MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) at Grace Methodist Church on Church Street. Every year on Halloween night our youth group would go Trick or Treating for UNICEF.” Sonya McAbee Gregory wrote, “I always loved going Trick or Treating in the Crescent Circle neighborhood in Kings Mountain. There was this cool house just as you got on to Crescent Circle off of Crescent Hill, to the right. They had a very long hallway and they would open the door
Gina Bradley shared, this photo from a Halloween party this year, 2020. and the coolest ghost would seemingly float down the hall to give you candy. And there was cool music to accompany the ghost’s arrival to the door. I'm not sure which family lived there in that house in the ‘70s. They also gave away great candy in the whole Crescent Circle area of homes. Cindy Jolly Troublefield shared her memories of the Halloween Carnival at West Elementary. “It was the best! Each classroom had a fun game, like bobbing for apples or a cakewalk. We wore great costumes, and had fun creating our own. We loved going to the cafeteria for a great hot dog supper. Such fond memories were created. Pam Patterson wrote, “We always went to a street in Linwood (I can’t remember the name) and a lady would sit on the porch with candy. My sisters and I always ran past it because rumors were that she was a real witch! One year we all got brave and decided to go up on the porch and she grabbed one of my sisters! The rest of us ran screaming and left my sister! We waited up the street a bit and she finally came

President Trump makes campaign stop at Gaston Municipal Airport in Gastonia. Photo by Bobby D. Dyer
President Trump visits Gastonia By Loretta Cozart President Trump made a campaign stop at Gastonia on Wednesday, October 21 at 7 pm. Initially, the rally was to accommodate 15,000 at Gaston Municipal Airport, but an estimated 23,000 people attended according to event officials. Seating was provided for 800 and the rest stood to hear President Trump.

Bess Elemen-
tary. The gates opened at 8 am and the president began speaking shortly after 7 pm. His speech lasted about an hour. Many supporters spent 12 hours at the facility. After the long day, attendees returned to the buses for a ride back to their vehicles. Attendees from Kings Mountain shared photos of the rally with the Herald.

Who knows what traditions will be added for young girls and boys to remember fondly in their adulthood? One thing if certain, whatever Halloween of the future brings, it will involve a fun time, with a little mix of scary, and lots and lots of candy.

1989, 1990 exciting years for KMHS sports (Fourth in a series of articles on some of the top players and teams in Kings Mountain sports history). During its more than 100 years of playing sports, Kings Mountain High School has had much success, and it seems many of the great years came back-to-back. Usually, every year sees a team that is outstanding. But one would have to admit the years of 1989 and 1990 at KMHS were very special. To say the Mountaineers dominated the Southwestern 3A Conference would be putting it mildly. During that time they were not just winning conference championships, but regional and state championships in multiple sports. In the spring of ’89, Coach Bruce Clark’s baseball team had some of the most powerful hitters in the state and won the state 3A championship in a best of three series against Rockingham County at KM’s Lancaster Field. Also, the KMHS golf team, coached by Denny Hicks, captured the 3A state championship at Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, just one week after winning the Western Regional at Cleghorn Golf Course in Rutherfordton. In the winter, Larry Sipe’s basketball team dominated the Southwestern 3A Conference, whipped a powerful Concord team for the Western Regional championship in Hickory and took another

Conley, down to the wire in a narrow loss in the state championship game at The Dean Dome in Chapel Hill. The Mountaineer golf team featured some of the top golfers in school history, including lefthander Brady Goforth, Brad Wilson, Matt Heavner, Ryan Broadwell and Mitch Morrow, who were the starting five in the state tournament. Goforth, who along with Lenny Wright were the only seniors on the team, shot a
76-76—152 to win medalist honor in the conference meet. He was the Southwestern 3A Conference Golfer of the Year. Wilson, who was second by a stroke, was the individual champion the two previous seasons. Wilson and Goforth were joined on the All-SWC team by Broadwell and Rusty Bumgardner. The Mountaineers returned the Cleghorn the following week to edge TC Roberson by five strokes in the Western Regional. Again,
Goforth claimed medalist honors with a three-over 75. With such a balanced scoring attack, the Mountaineers knew they would have a shot at being the state champion, but it wouldn’t be easy. The Mountaineers were three strokes off the lead after the first round, and things looked kind of bleak when they went down by 10 strokes early in the championship round. But every Mountaineer buckled down and they eventually won by four strokes.
Broadwell, Goforth, Wilson and Heavner all turned in sub-40 rounds over the back nine to give the Mountaineers the championship. They completed a fouryear run with a 27-0 record, winning the Southwestern Conference all four seasons. The 1989 Mountaineer baseball team was unlike any before. The Mountaineers had gone deep in the state playoffs numerous times in the past, including 1980 when
they lost the state championship series to Greene Central in Kinston. The success of the ’80 team, as well as the 1993 team that won the school’s second NCHSAA state championship, was because of great pitching and defense. But to put it mildly, the 1989 team could knock the heck out of the baseball. Led by Paul Brannon, who would set state home run records for a season and a career, the Mountaineers just See YEARS, Page 2B

Jones Tennis Building at KMHS to be dedicated November 5 The Jones Tennis Building on the site of the Kings Mountain High School tennis courts will be dedicated November 5 at 4:30 p.m. The facility is named in honor of former KMHS football coach and athletic director Bob Jones, his wife Barbara and sons Brad and Bryan, the latter an All-American tennis player for the Mountaineers and later a star in the collegiate ranks. “This is an exciting time for the players and coaches as they will finally have their own dressing rooms and coaches offices,” said David Brinkley, president of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club that spearheaded the athletic facilities fund drive that included six state-of-theart tennis courts, a new turf field for the football team, a new athletic field house and renovations and new
equipment for the weight room. The tennis field house includes coaches offices, public restrooms and a water fountain. “This is the finishing touch to one of the best facilities in the state of North Carolina,” Brinkley said. “We appreciate the Jones family for their contribution as the lead donor for the tennis building.” Dr. Stephen Fisher, superintendent of Cleveland County Schools, will be present to accept ownership of the facility for the school system. All supporters of the facility, athletes and fans are encouraged to attend. “We thank the public, the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club and the student athletes at KMHS for their support,” Brinkley said.

Cleveland golfers hold fall tourney The Cleveland County Senior Men’s Golf Association held its fall tournament – a two-man Texas Scramble – Thursday at Deer Brook. Low gross overall were Henry Jones and Richard Addis with a 144. Low gross on the front nine were Tony Beaver and Roy Keeney with a 65. Low gross on the back nine were Miles Crouse and Kenny Howell with a 71. Low net overall were Tommy Glover and Tom Paine with a 139. Low net on the front nine were David Alexander
and Donnie Hunt with a 66. Low net on the back nine were Steve and Mike Boatwright with a 67. Eighty-two golfers participated on the 41 teams. In Thursday’s match at Woodbridge, Mike Helms and Clenon Tackett took low gross at 72. David Lowery (80-18) and Clenon Tackett (7210) tied at 62. Tackett won with a par four on the first playoff hole (#7). Bill Crocker was closest to the hole on number three and Paul Farris sank the longest putt on number nine.

runs, would return the next year to finish his high school career with a state-record 41 home runs. He was drafted by the Seattle Mariners and played one season in their farm system before suffering a career-ending injury. Brannon wasn’t the only star, though. Everybody on the team did their part on the mound, in the field and at the plate. In fact, Brannon often gives the credit for his home run hitting success to third baseman and clean-up hitter Dale Greene. Brannon said he was successful at the plate because pitchers could not afford to pitch around him to pitch to Greene.
From Page 1B blasted everybody. There was no 10-run rule back then. They finished 23-7 overall and won the school’s first conference championship in 10 years. The ’89 season saw them hit 50 home runs as a team with Brannon getting 20 of them. The Mountaineers hosted the ’89 state championship at Lancaster Field. Of course, what fans will remember most will be the Mountaineers’ two-game sweep of the Rockingham County Cougars. But, prior to the start of the first game KM had an all-day pounding rain. Rockingham County players and coaches were relaxing in a local hotel and thinking the game would be postponed but KM players, coaches and fans were working hard to get the field in shape to play. There was a long delay before the game got underway, and KM quickly fell behind 6-1. But, they got their bats going and won that game 8-6, and then got a four-hitter from lefty Keith Allen and rolled to a 10-0 win in the championship game. Brannon, who finished his season with 20 home
The 1989-90 basketball team had probably the most phenomenal year in school history, finishing with a 26-3 overall record. They lost close conference games to R-S Central and East Rutherford, with the latter coming in the SWC tournament championship game. But, they rebounded to blow out most teams after that. Their closest shave was the Western Regional championship game with undefeated Concord, which they won 80-74. The Spiders were coached by former Davidson College coach Bo Brickles.
Tennis tournament planned at new complex at KM High The new tennis complex at Kings Mountain High School has been very busy on Tuesday nights with an adult league in full swing. Now, the very first tournament at the tennis complex will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 10 and will continue for the next several Tuesday nights, weather permitting. There is a possibility that some matches will be played on Saturdays, depending on the weather.
KMHS tennis coach Rick Henderson is excited to have the new complex for his boys and girls teams, but also for the community. “Most of the folks using the complex have played tennis for years and are just now getting back into the swing of things,” he said. “But some of them are new to the game.” Since completion of the courts, a dozen or more
The Mountaineers were packed with talent; so much in fact that one of their top scorers from the previous year, Ryan Hollifield, rode the bench a lot because of an injury suffered during the fall football season. But Hollifield worked back into basketball shape and by the end of the year and was again one of the leading scorers and rebounders on the team. It was his 27-point effort off the bench in the conference championship against RS Central that got him back into the starting lineup. Kings Mountain was so talented that year that most of their players would have started at any other school. Joining Hollifield on the team were three-sport star and
KMHS Male Athlete of the Year Daniel Honeycutt, who went on to play at Limestone College; Western Regional MVP Darian Hager, a 6-6 center who went on to play at Wingate, and junior Era Vaughn who led the Mountaineers in scoring and rebounding in the state championship game. The other starter was guard Roderick McClain. Other members of the team were Darius “NuNu” Ross, Tony Currence, Petie McNeal, Scottie Hopper, Kevin Moss, Marcus Byers, Marquiz Williamson, Quan Smith and Alan Williams. Sipe would go on to coach for 10 more seasons and ended his coaching career at KMHS with 236 victories.
men and women have been enjoying the complex and the competition with one another, Henderson said. “So, I thought it would be fitting if we had a tournament and maybe we could draw some more folks out from the KM community to enjoy a little fun along with a little competition.” Only Kings Mountain residents will be allowed to compete in this first tourna-
ment, Henderson said. The tournament will include men’s and women’s doubles as well as mixed doubles. “Of course, that will depend on how many participants we have in each category,” Henderson noted. All persons interested in playing in the tournament may contact Henderson at 704-460-8066 or Rick. Henderson2@duke-energy.com

How to Recognize and Stop Elder Abuse in the COVID Era Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on how to recognize elder abuse and what to do if you suspect it? Concerned Relative Dear Concerned, Elder abuse is a big problem in the United States that has escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the National Council on Aging, as many as 5 million seniors are victims of abuse each year, but studies suggest this crime is significantly under-reported. Only 1-in-14 cases of elder abuse ever get reported to the authorities because victims are usually too afraid, too embarrassed, too helpless or too trusting to call for help. The term “elder abuse” is defined as intentional or negligent acts by a caregiver or trusted individual that causes or can cause harm to a vulnerable senior. Elder abuse also comes in many different forms: emotional, psychological, physical or sexual abuse, abandonment, neglect and self-neglect, and financial exploitation. Those most vulnerable are seniors that are ill, frail, disabled, socially isolated
or mentally impaired due to dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also important to know that while elder abuse does happen in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, the vast majority of incidents take place at home where the senior lives. And tragically, the abusers are most often their own family members (usually the victim’s adult child or spouse) or caregiver. How to Recognize Abuse So, how can you tell if an elderly relative or friend is being abused, and what can you do to help? A change in general behavior is a universal warning sign that a problem exists. If you notice that your relative or friend has become very depressed, withdrawn or gets upset or agitated easily, you need to start asking questions. Here are some additional warning signs on the different types of elder abuse that can help you spot a possible problem. • Physical or sexual abuse: Suspicious bruises or other injuries that can’t be explained. Sudden changes in behavior (upset, withdrawn, fearful). Broken eyeglasses. Caregiver’s refusal to allow visitors to see an elder alone.
• Neglect or self-neglect: Weight loss, poor hygiene, unattended medical needs, and unsanitary, unsafe living conditions. • Emotional or psychological abuse: The senior is extremely upset, agitated, withdrawn, unresponsive, fearful or depressed, or demonstrates some other unusual behavior. • Financial exploitation: Missing money or valuables. Unexplained withdrawals from bank accounts, or transfers between accounts. Unauthorized use of credit, debit or ATM card. Unpaid bills despite available funds. Checks written as a loan or gift. Abrupt changes in a will or other documents. For more tips on how to recognize the warning signs of abuse during the pandemic, see the National Center on Elder Abuse website at NCEA.acl.gov/Resources/COVID-19.aspx. What to Do The best ways to help stop elder abuse is to be in touch and keep the lines of communication open. If you suspect any type of abuse or neglect in your relative’s or friend’s home, report it to your local protective services agency.
Adult Protective Services is the government agency responsible for investigating elder abuse cases and providing help and guidance. Call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 to get the agency contact number in your area or visit NCEA.acl.gov/Resources/State.aspx. The agency will ask what you observed, who was involved, and who they can contact to learn more. You don’t need to prove that abuse is occurring; it is up to the professional. Or, to report suspected abuse in a nursing home or assisted living facility, call the local Long-Term Care Ombudsman – see LTCombudsman.org for contact information. If, however, you feel the person is in immediate danger, call 911 or the local police for immediate help. 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.

9-1-1 in case of emergency. • Pin a slip of paper with the child's name, address, and telephone number inside a pocket in case the youngster gets separated from the group. • Costume Design: • Only fire-retardant materials should be used for costumes. • Costumes should be loose so warm clothes can be worn underneath. • Costumes should not be so long that they are a tripping hazard. • Make sure that shoes fit well to prevent trips and falls. • If children are allowed out after dark, outfits should be made with light colored materials. Strips of retro-reflective tape should be used to make children visible. Face Design: • When buying special Halloween makeup, check for packages containing ingredients that are labeled "Made with U.S. Approved Color Additives," "Laboratory Tested," "Meets Federal Standards for Cosmetics," or "Non-Toxic." Follow manufacturer's instruction for application. Accessories: • Knives, swords, and other accessories should be made from cardboard or flexible materials. Do not allow children to carry sharp objects. • Bags or sacks carried by youngsters should be light-colored or trimmed with retro-reflective tape if children are allowed out after dark. • Carrying flashlights with fresh batteries will help children see better and be seen more clearly. While Trick-or-Treating: • Do not enter homes or apartments without adult supervision. • Walk; do not run, from house to house. Do not cross yards and lawns where unseen objects or the uneven terrain can present tripping hazards. • Walk on sidewalks, not in the street. • Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic, if there are no sidewalks. Treats: • Give children an early meal before going out. • Insist that treats be brought home for inspection before anything is eaten. • Wash fruit and slice it into small pieces. • Throw away any candy that is unwrapped or partially wrapped or has a strange odor, color, or texture. Homeowners/Decorations: • Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flame. • Remove obstacles from lawns, steps, and porches when expecting trick-ortreaters. • Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from curtains, decorations, and other combustibles that could catch fire. • Do not leave your house unattended. "Halloween is a fun time in Cleveland County,” Sheriff Norman concluded, "but let’s make it a safe time as well. The major dangers are not from witches or spirits but rather from falls and pedestrian/car crashes. “

Soon our streets will be scattered with little ghosts, g o b lins, and witches t r i c k - o r - SHERIFF NORMAN treating this Halloween. “Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment and following some common-sense practices can keep events safer and more fun,” said Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County. The Sheriff reminds all Cleveland County residents to follow these safety tips: COVID-19: • Follow State and County health policies. • Limit participating in traditional trick-or-treating where treats are handed to children who go door to door. • Halloween costume masks are not suitable to provide COVID-19 protection. • Promote the use of hand sanitizer by trick-or-treaters and their families. • Announce if there are any curfews in place. • Encourage social distancing. • Decline having trunkor-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots. • Do not attend crowded costume parties held indoors. • Avoid going to an indoor haunted house where people may be crowded together and screaming. • Discourage going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household. Motorists: • Watch for children darting out from between parked cars. • Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs. • Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully. • At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing. Parents: • Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for children under age 12. • Check the sex offender registry at www.ncdoj.gov when planning your child’s trick-or-treat route. You can view maps that pinpoint registered offenders’ addresses in your neighborhood and sign up to get email alerts when an offender moves nearby. • Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow. Know the names of older children's companions. • Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route. • Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well-lit and never to enter a stranger's home. • Establish a return time. • Tell your youngsters not to eat any treats until they return home. • Review all appropriate trick-or-treat safety precautions, including pedestrian/ traffic safety rules. • All children need to know their home telephone number and how to call

Medicare open enrollment NCDHHS releases new continues to December 7 COVID-19 guidance The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that 2021 Medicare Open Enrollment is officially open and will run through December 7. More than 60 million people with Medicare can review health and drug plans and make changes to their healthcare coverage for next year, based on their financial and medical needs, from the comfort of their homes. With Medicare Advantage (or private Medicare health plans) and Part D prescription drug plan premiums at historic lows – and hundreds of healthcare plans now offering $35 monthly co-pays for insulin – there are plenty of reasons to compare coverage options. As part of this year’s open enrollment, CMS also reminds people with Medicare to get their flu shot, beware of open enrollment scams, and seek virtual assistance if they need it to enroll in a plan amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. “I hope everyone with Medicare takes time over the next few weeks to review their health and drug coverage for next year,” said CMS Administrator Seema Verma. “There are more plans than ever to choose from, many new benefits, and historically low plan premiums. You may well find a plan that’s a better fit for you and save yourself some money in the process. Shopping for plans is easy with Medicare Plan Finder.” During Open Enrollment, Medicare beneficiaries can compare coverage options like Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, and choose health and prescription drug plans for 2021. Medicare health and drug plan costs and covered benefits can change from
year-to-year. CMS urges Medicare beneficiaries to review their coverage choices and decide on the options that best meet their health needs. Over the past three years, CMS has made it easier for seniors to compare and enroll in Medicare coverage. The redesigned Medicare Plan Finder makes it easier for beneficiaries to: • Compare pricing between Original Medicare, Medicare prescription drug plans, Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policies; • Compare coverage options on their smartphones and tablets; • Compare up to three drug plans or three Medicare Advantage plans side-by-side; • Get plan costs and benefits, including which Medicare Advantage plans offer extra benefits; • Build a personal drug list and find Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage that best meets their needs. Highlights for 2021 Open Enrollment include: A 34 percent decrease in average monthly premiums for Medicare Advantage plans since 2017. This is the lowest average monthly premium since 2007. Beneficiaries in some states, including Alabama, Nevada, Michigan, and Kentucky, will see decreases of up to 50 percent in average Medicare Advantage premiums. More than 4,800 Medicare Advantage plans are offered for 2021, compared to about 2,700 in 2017. Similarly, more Medicare Part D plans are available, and the average basic Part D premium has dropped 12 percent since 2017. Medicare beneficiaries can join a prescription drug plan that will offer many types of insulin at a maximum copayment
In the past two weeks, North Carolina has seen an increase in COVID19 clusters from social events and other gatherings such as parties, family gatherings, weddings and funerals according to a new weekly report the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services added Friday to the NC COVID19 Dashboard. The department has also released new guidance for private gatherings. “I know people want and need to come together, particularly as we head into the holiday season. At the same time, no one wants to spread COVID-19 to their family and friends,” said NCDHHS Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. “The best defense is to wear a mask every time you are with someone you don’t live with; maintain social distancing, limit any gathering to a small number of people and host it outside; and wash your hands frequently.” The COVID-19 Clusters in North Carolina report includes total cumulative reported clusters, cases and deaths broken down by type of cluster since May 22, 2020 and graphs per type of cluster showing trends over time. This report will be updated each Monday by 4pm. In addition to social gatherings, the report
of $35 for a 30-day supply. More than 1,600 Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug plans are participating in the Part D Senior Savings Model for 2021. People who enroll in a participating plan could save up to an estimated $446 a year in out-of-pocket costs on insulin. CMS has added a new “Insulin Savings” filter on Medicare Plan Finder to display plans that will offer the capped out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Beneficiaries can use the Medicare Plan Finder to view plan options and look for a participating plan in their area that covers their insulin at no more than a $35 monthly copay. Free, personalized counseling on Medicare options is also available through the nonprofit State Health Insurance Assistance Program or calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users can call 1-877486-2048. Finally, CMS urges people with Medicare to practice safety measures to guard against identity theft during open enrollment. Beneficiaries should not give their Medicare card or Medicare number to anyone except their doctor or people they know should have it. CMS removed Social Security numbers from all Medicare cards last year to reduce fraud and protect beneficiaries from identity theft. Even with this change, people with Medicare should guard their Medicare card like they would a credit card. They should also check their Medicare claim summaries for errors and questionable bills and report fraud to Medicare’s toll-free customer service center at 1-800-MEDICARE or online.

implement prevention and control measures, identify risk factors and understand settings where transmission of COVID19 is most likely to occur. NCDHHS defines clusters of COVID-19 in non-congregate living settings as: • A minimum of 5 cases with illness onsets or initial positive results within a 14-day period, and • Plausible epidemiologic linkage between cases, meaning cases are present in the same general setting during the same time period without a more likely source of exposure for identified cases (e.g., household or close contact to a confirmed case in another setting). • Spread of COVID-19 is most likely to occur in indoor settings with large numbers of people, particularly those where mask use and social distancing are not being observed. While clusters in some settings have decreased over time, continuing clusters in many workplace and community settings reinforces the need for all North Carolinians to practice the 3 W’s: Wear, Wait, and Wash.

Earl Scruggs Center offers Halloween fun Those looking for some safe Halloween Day fun for young and old alike will be pleased to learn about the program planned this year at the Earl Scruggs Center (ESC) in Shelby. At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, the ESC will offer special “Jack Tales� storytelling programs and an opportunity to win a Halloween-themed gift basket. Children will receive free admission throughout the Center’s hours, and costumes are welcomed. Careful Covid-19 preventative protocols will be followed throughout the event to ensure the safety of all of those in attendance. “We are delighted to host storyteller Ron Gulledge, who will bring local and regional folklore to life,� says Mary Beth Martin, ESC executive director. Parents and children will learn about how Jack Tales passed down through many generations of storytelling families in North Carolina and played an important role in early Appalachian culture. “Jack is a character, usually portrayed as a clever boy, who appears in many tales whose origins are traced back to England. These stories were adapted and
told throughout the mountains of North Carolina,� says Martin. “Folklorist Richard Chase collected these stories and published them in his book, The Jack Tales, which helped further spread and popularize them. These are beloved stories that many children, including me, grew up hearing from their parents or grandparents. “Jack Tales almost always follow the same pattern: Jack meets an obstacle or a challenge, and through his wits or luck, finds a way to succeed or get out of a sticky situation. These are wonderful, entertaining stories based on a trickstertype hero.� The 11 a.m. Jack Tales program will feature stories specifically for young children, and the 2 p.m. program will feature stories suitable for the entire family. Attendance is limited for these programs to allow for social distancing, and registration is required. To register for this event, visit www.earlscruggscenter. org/event/skelefun-day/, or call the Earl Scruggs Center at 704-487-6233. Throughout the day, visitors may stop by the gift shop to play a guessing game and enter a contest to win a Halloweenthemed gift basket. In addition, a limited number of treat bags will be available for children. “To prevent the spread of Covid-19 in our community, face coverings are required inside the Earl Scruggs Center and gift shop,� says Martin. “In addition, guests must maintain six-foot social distancing in the museum and related programs, and we encourage them to take advantage of several hand sanitizing stations throughout the facility. Guests may notice increased cleaning and sanitizing of all high-touch surfaces, and we ask for patience as timed entry may be enacted, as needed. “If you have a fever, are experiencing symptoms, or have been in close contact with a person with Covid-19, we ask that you visit us another day.� For more information about the Halloween-day activities or about other programs offered by the ESC, visit www. earlscruggscenter.org or find the center on Facebook at www.facebook.com/the. earl.scruggs.center.

in a survey of GWU business students. Dr. Jerry Gilsdorf, Gardner-Webb professor of sport management, said the new masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree can be completed in one or two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Courses are offered in five eight-week units throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? he related. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The overall goal of the Master of Sport Management is for each student to become an effective and efficient sport leader, who is well versed in the field, equipped with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and functions as a sport leader with an ethical and moral compass grounded in Christian principles.â&#x20AC;? Students who earn a MSM degree will be prepared for various careers in the field, such as athletic director, event coordinator, facilities manager, sports agent and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program allows individuals to move to the mid- and upper-level management in the sport industry,â&#x20AC;? Gilsdorf observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students will synthesize current issues and theory in managing sport, and gain experience applying them in real-world situations with sport leaders. In addition, this program allows students to develop relationships with current and future sport leaders and experience a one-on-one mentorship with a sport leader.â&#x20AC;? The 30 credit-hour curriculum includes a required internship capstone course. The courses are also designed for students who come from different disciplines of study. Through their studies, they will acquire the ability to perform
administrative, business, and leadership tasks necessary for success in this high-growth arena. Gilsdorf helped design the curriculum from his experience in the field. In addition to teaching at Gardner-Webb, he has served in leaderships positions for the North Carolina Alliance for Athletics, Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Dance, and Sport Management (NCAAHPERD-SM), North Carolina Alliance for Athletics, Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Dance (NCAAHPERD), the South Carolina Homeschool Athletic Association, the North Carolina Sport Management Coalition, Cleveland County (N.C.) Senior Games, and the Ruby Hunt YMCA Board. He has also been a presenter at national and regional conventions and conferences.
