National Police Week 2021 Honoring and remembering fallen law enforcement officers Communities across the United States, including Kings Mountain, honored and remembered those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends, and fellow officers they left behind. This year, the names of 394 officers killed in the line of duty were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 394 officers include 295 who were killed during 2020, plus 99 officers who died in previous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history until now. One hundred
On May 14, Kings Mountain Police Department’s PSAP Center (Public Safety Answering Service Emergency 911 Communication Center) was dedicated to the late PSAP manager Andrew “Andy” Underwood. Gathered for the event were Underwood’s wife, Sarah, and her parents. Also in attendance were their daughter Ashley and son Matthew, along with his wife who is also named Sarah. Chief Proctor said, “We decided to dedicate the center to PSAP Manger Andrew (Andy) Underwood because of his passion for this com-
munity and for providing the best possible service and the fastest answering time to our citizens.” “He had a passion to constantly work for the betterment of Kings Mountain Citizens and the safety of our Police Officers and Firemen when they were needed to provide emergency services and assistance,” Chief Proctor explained. “Andy worked numerous hours behind the scenes to make our PSAP Center one of the best in the State. His passion and drive to bring the best team together and to provide the best service to the citizens of Kings Mountain was a huge passion of his and he lived
and breathed this center and the safety of all in this city.” Underwood redesigned the Center in 2020 from top to bottom and strived for being the best in everything he did. He dedicated himself to serving others in this unique and stressful situation and this is why the decision was made to dedicate Kings Mountain PSAP emergency 911 Communication Center to Andrew Underwood, to honor his memory and his legacy and passion for the people. “He was by far the most passionate person I have ever seen in this PSAP Center,” Chief Proctor said. “He would find unique and better See UNDERWOOD, Page 8A
80 county landowners eligible for federal land settlement in Shelby Rail-Trail In late April, the United States Court of Federal Claims found in favor of three Cleveland County landowners, Jerry L. Allen, Kathy T. Dillow, and Settle Enterprises, LLC. The three plaintiffs said they were deprived their property which the Federal Government sold
to the City of Shelby for the Rail-Trail conversion without just compensation. Two other plaintiffs have since been included in the decision. The US Court of Federal Claims determined that, under the terms of the easements that created this right-
of-way and North Carolina law, Norfolk Southern did not have the ability to convert this abandoned railroad corridor into a public linear park. Seventy-five more landowners across Cleveland County may also be eligible to receive compensation
but must file before August 4, 2021 when the statute of limitations runs out. The situation began on August 4, 2015, when the federal government issued an order that preempted North Carolina law and allowed Norfolk Southern Railroad See SETTLEMENT, Page 3A

SETTLEMENT From Page 1A to sell its right-of-way to the City of Shelby to build a recreational trail. This order resulted in the taking of many properties in Cleveland County. Three landowners, represented by Meghan Largent and Lindsay Brinton of law firm Lewis Rice, received compensation for private property that had been taken for right of way by the federal government and that land was sold to the City of Shelby without compensating the original owners, which violated their Fifth Amendment Rights: “No person shall… be deprived

the alleged taking so that the property owner at the time held a fee simple unencumbered by the easement (abandonment of the easement). The five plaintiff’s are represented by Meghan Largent and Lindsay Brinton of law firm Lewis Rice that focuses on representing landowners across the country to pursue their Fifth Amendment Takings claims against the federal government. Largent and Brinton believe additional Cleveland County landowners could also be eligible for compensation; however, the statute of limitations relating to this taking will expire August 4, 2021. After this date, Cleveland County landowners will be barred from making a
claim. If you believe the federal government took your property for the Rail-Trail, the Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution requires the federal government to pay these owners for what the government took. “The statute of limitations for filing a claim for compensation for the Shelby Rail-Trail conversion is August 4, 2021. After that date adjacent landowners will be barred from filing a claim for the compensation due for the taking of private property by the federal government. If you are interested in filing a claim please contact us at 314-444-7777,” said Attorney Lindsay Brinton.

OPINION
TODAY’S QUOTE:
Wednesday, May 19, 2021
Honesty is the best policy. –Benjamin Franklin
Pieces of Kings Mountain History We often find the history of our community in the oddest of places. LORETTA David COZART Neisler recently shared the following story published in The Atlantic Journal which he discovered in the Library of Congress collection in Washington, DC. It comes from writings from Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., as he searched for his on after the Battle of Antietam and a letter he found on the battlefield that impacted a family in White Plains, an early name for this area before it was incorporated as Kings Mountain. The article reads: “During the early morning hours of September 18, 1862, prominent Boston physician Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., was awakened by a loud rap at his front door. He approached the door with trepidation, for rumors had swirled throughout the city the previous day of a large and bloody clash between Union and Confederate armies at a small town in Mary-
land. Upon opening the door, a messenger boy handed Dr. Holmes a telegram that brought the ominous news that his eldest son, Captain Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., had been seriously wounded at the Battle of Antietam. Within hours, Dr. Holmes would board a southbound train in a frantic search for his wounded son.” “Dr. Holmes recorded his trek to Maryland in an article that was printed in the December 1862 edition of The Atlantic Journal magazine. “My Hunt After the Captain” is considered one of the masterpieces of American journalism, a riveting tale of the emotions that ran through the mind of a desperate father and the horrific sights he witnessed as he passed over a landscape shredded by war.” “Five days after he left Boston, Dr. Holmes was walking about the Antietam battlefield with a group of reporters when he noticed an envelope flapping in the breeze. As he related in the article, ‘I picked up a letter...directed to Richmond, Virginia, its seal unbroken. ‘N.C. Cleve-
bloody cornfield of Antietam. I will keep this stained letter for them until peace is back, if it comes in my time, and my pleasant North Carolina Rebel of the Middleton Hospital will, perhaps, look these poor people up and tell them where to send for it.’” The J. Wright mentioned in the article was DR. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, SR. land County, E. Wright to J. Wright.’” “On the other side were a few lines from W.L. Vaughn who had been writing for the wife to her husband and continues on his own account. The postscript, ‘Tell John that Nancy’s folks are well and has a very good crop of corn growing.’ I wonder if, by one of those strange chances of which I have seen so many, this letter or leaf of the Atlantic will not sooner or later find its way to Cleveland County, North Carolina, and E. Wright, widow of J. Wright, and Nancy’s folks get from these sentences the last glimpse of husband and friend as he threw up his arms and fell in the

John Wright, a twenty-seven year old farm laborer from the small community of White Plains, North Carolina, which pre-dates the city of Kings Mountain. He would leave behind a wife and small daughter, as well as eight younger siblings. Captain Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,

Graduation and your destination Families across America are celebrating high school and Glenn Mollette Guest Editorial college graduations. American young adults are now faced with going to work or pursuing more education. Employers across America are looking for workers. Colleges are looking for students. Will you spend $25,000 to $60,000 per year to go to school? Or, will you go to work and earn $25,000 to $60,000 or more? Some of America’s graduates will find jobs working for state or federal government entities. One acquaintance went to work for her state government and retired by the time she was 46. With a full state retirement benefit she started a part-time business that seems to do well. She did not have one day of college education. She started out at an entry level job but worked hard, showed up and received several promotions that provided her
with a good income and a very good government retirement. A high school graduate can enlist in the military. He or she will start out on the bottom but show up and work hard every day and have a retirement by the time they are 38 years old. It’s only 50 percent of their salary but it’s a respectable check, which will provide them financial security for the rest of their lives. If school teachers start teaching at the age of 23 many can retire by about 51 years old. Retiring at 46 or 51 is seldom on the mind of someone 18 or even 23. Often, just finding an enjoyable job that is maintainable is the main goal. However, give some thought to the type of work you are pursuing. What kind of financial stability and security will it provide for you and when will it afford you retirement income? You don’t have to quit working at 46 or 50 just because you have obtained a monthly retirement check. There is a world of opportunities you can pursue. You can start a different career. You can work part-time. Or, you can stay with the
job you are doing. Or, just enjoy life. There is a sacrifice to a lot of jobs. Many jobs may be fulfilling but often come up short on solid retirement plans. Pursue and enjoy what you do but you can’t make a retirement plan happen out of thin air when you hit 60. Keep in mind you can save a little bit of money every month and it will grow. Be diligent about this every month and you’ll eventually see results. Start now. The career you went to school for may also allow you to retire at 55 if you want to. You may also train for a job you will enjoy doing into your late 60’s or even 70’s, or older. An acquaintance of mine is 82. He’s been in the hotel business for many years and loves his work. Another friend was a college President until he was 78 and loved every minute of his work. One of my friends is a surgeon and is 72. He loves working every day. Today is a good time to think about what you are doing and where it will take you. Consider what you want life to look like when you arrive at your destination.

glory of God.” John Newton came to this realization. Newton had what we call self-awareness. He realized that nothing he could do in and of himself was good enough to save him. Today, people compare their goodness or faults to others to test how their lives measure up. Someone might say, “I’m not perfect, but I’m not as bad as him.” John Newton didn’t compare himself with another human; he knew he was nothing without Christ and admitted it. When Christ came into his life, John Newton experienced what each of us can experience: grace, forgiveness, and new life. Today, you may be depressed or critical of yourself.
There may be reminders of your past actions or thoughts which can invade your thoughts. Indeed, none of us are sinless, which is why we must confess our sins to God. In 1John 1:8-9, John reminds us, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Remember this, God loves you and wants to redeem your life, free you from your sin, and turn you from a sinner to a saint.

New CDC guidance on face coverings
Governor Cooper lifts many COVID-19 restrictions Friday, Governor Roy Cooper and North Carolina Department of Health and GOVERNOR COOPER Human Services Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. shared an update on the state’s COVID19 progress. Throughout the pandemic, state officials have taken a data-driven approach and have been guided by the science in making decisions. Following Friday’s guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that fully vaccinated individuals can safely do most activities without wearing a mask or the need to social distance from others, the state will remove its indoor mask mandate for most settings. Additionally, the state will lift all mass gathering limits and social distancing requirements. These changes are now in effect as of 1:30 pm today. “We can take this step today because the science
shows our focus on getting people vaccinated is working,” said Governor Cooper. “But to keep moving forward – and to make sure that we keep saving lives – more people need to get vaccinated.” The ability to lift restrictions sooner than anticipated following the CDC’s guidance shows the importance of vaccinating all North Carolinians. As of this week, even more people can get vaccinated. Younger teens between 12 and 15 can now get the Pfizer COVID19 vaccine. Young people are vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus, just like everyone else, and the percent of COVID-19 cases in North Carolina children 17 and under has been increasing. North Carolina continues to focus on distributing vaccines quickly and equitably. To date, the state has administered over 7.7 million doses. 51% percent of those 18 and up are at least partially vaccinated, and 46% percent of those 18 and up have been fully vaccinated. “I am so proud of the incredible progress we have
made in beating back this pandemic,” said Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. “Vaccines continue to be incredibly effective at protecting individuals from this terrible virus. And as more and more people get vaccinated, the results show in our stable metrics with lower cases, lower hospitalizations, and lower deaths.” In accordance with the new CDC guidance, there will still be certain settings where masks and other safety measures will be required. Masks will still be required in childcare, schools and camps as most children are either not yet vaccinated or are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. Everyone, including people who are fully vaccinated will still be required to wear a mask in certain settings such as public transportation, health care settings like hospitals, doctor’s offices and long-term care settings like nursing homes, and certain congregate settings like correctional facilities and homeless shelters. NCDHHS will continue to have strong public health
recommendations for individuals to continue to protect one another until more people are vaccinated. People who are not vaccinated should wear a mask and maintain distance in all indoor public settings and in outdoor settings when they can't maintain six feet of distance. Masks are strongly recommended for everyone at large crowded indoor events like sporting events and live performances. NCDHHS recommends public facing businesses post signage reminding guests to social distance and wear a face covering if they are not fully vaccinated; remind employees to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19; have a plan to immediately isolate and remove sick workers; and clean high-touch surfaces once a day. Businesses may choose to continue to require that their customers wear masks. The Department of Health and Human Services will also continue to expand strategies to reach people who have not yet gotten vaccinated.
Some NC families eligible for discount on internet and computers Beginning May 12, North Carolinians can get critical help to pay for highspeed internet from a $3.2 billion federal program for families and households working, learning, and shopping from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Many North Carolina families struggle to afford high-speed internet,” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said. “The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program will help bridge the digital divide so that people in need can get online to talk with their doctors, learn remotely, find or do work, and connect with friends and family.” The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBBP) gives a discount of up to $50 a month to a household’s internet bill. That increases to $75 a month for those living on tribal lands. Eligible households can also get a one-time discount of $100 toward the purchase of a laptop, tablet or desktop computer through partici-
pating providers. Enrollment in EBBP will open on May 12. Households with an income at or less than 135 percent of federal poverty guidelines are eligible for the EBBP. A household also qualifies if at least one member participates in a federal benefits program such as Medicaid, SNAP, or Lifeline, receives benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program, lost a job or a significant amount of income in the past year, received a Federal Pell Grant, or is part of an internet service provider’s low-income or COVID-19 program. “Affordability is one barrier among the inequities that prevent numerous North Carolina residents and households
from accessing high-speed, high-quality internet,” Jim Weaver, North Carolina Department of Information Technology (NCDIT) secretary and state chief information officer, said. “This benefit can spur demand for building infrastructure to bring that service into areas of the state that have little or no access to broadband.” Administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the program was created by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 to help Americans access healthcare, jobs, classrooms and businesses during the pandemic. Many types of providers, including those offering landline and wireless broadband, are offering the discount. The FCC gives extensive guidance for providers seeking to participate. The NCDIT Broadband Infrastructure Office (BIO) offers guidance on how North Carolina households can apply for the benefit and how providers in the
state can participate in it. The FCC’s consumer site has detailed information on how households can qualify and apply for the program. Households can also see a list of participating providers in their state. Governor Cooper has called on internet service providers in North Carolina to participate in the program so that more North Carolinians can afford to get online. The EBBP will end six months after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declares the pandemic is over or when the program uses all its $3.2 billion funding, whichever happens first. Providers must notify consumers at least 30 days before the discount ends and must let consumers opt-in to continue service before charging them a higher rate. To help get high-speed internet service to even more North Carolinians, NCDIT’s Broadband Infrastructure Office is currently conducting a survey to

From Page 1A ways of dealing with situations and getting things done even when they seemed impossible. He told me one time that he wanted to this to be the best Center in the State and in my opinion he achieved that. Calls status shows he was successful!” “He believed that Telecommunicators were the original first responders because by their mere definition they responded first to all 911 calls by answering them and providing that much needed calm voice in the storm. Our Telecommunicators hear every word spoken and even hear the sounds of gun fire and the desperate pleas of those in need of help. They deal with stressful things like hearing a child call-in begging for help for a parent that is unconscious or
a 911 call of someone in crisis who has been in a bad accident or involved in a shooting. These are the things Officers hear daily and those things can’t be erased from their memory.” “Andy, like myself, believed that our Telecommunicators need to be reclassified as first responders because they are now classified in the same category as an office secretary. This should not be so, and Andy was working passionately, prior to going out on medical leave, to find a way to make that reclassification happen and to give the 911 Telecommunicators the much needed status of Emergency Responders,” said Chief Proctor. “He and I shared that same passion as I will continue to strive to seek reclassification for our 911 Telecommunicators across this City and across this State.”

KM, Brockman blank Jaguars
KMHS track sweeps county
able lead Coach Brad Melton went to his bullpen to save Brockman some pitches for this week. Kings Mountain showed its offensive strength in the top of the first inning, plating three runs and that would be plenty for Brockman and his defense to finish off the Jaguars. Cole Irby carried KM’s big stick at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a run and four RBIs. His triple in the first inning plated the first two runs. He drove in two more the next inning with a hard liner to center. Brockman had a pair of hits and also scored two runs and Devin Pressley, Boone Cartee and Parker Richards drove in runs. Kings Mountain also benefited from four Jaguar errors.

He is the 19th Mountaineer to be chosen for the contest, and the ninth since 2017. He will begin his college football career in the fall.

Darrick Marable scores one of the two Force touchdowns Saturday at City Stadium.
Force in conference semi-finals The Kings Mountain Force caused a white out at Shu Carlton Stadium Saturday with a 14-0 win over the Carolina Raiders from High Point. With a solid offense and relentless defense, the Force stopped the Raiders from
getting started. The Force is now on to the playoffs. The #2 ranked Force picked up a first round bye but will begin their quest for the championship in the semi-finals May 29 at Shu Carlton Stadium.
KMHS golfer Putnam qualifies for Regional Kings Mountain High golfer Cooper Putnam shot an 82 to place 15th in the 3A Western Regional Golf Tournament at Riverbend. He was the only KM golfer to qualify for the tournament. Medalist was Alex Bock of Freedom with a 72. Overall, KM coach Kevin Moss was pleased with his team’s progress this spring. Two of the Mountaineers’ three losses were by less than four strokes. “We are a very young team with two juniors, one sophomore and six freshmen,” Moss noted. “This
group of players love to play and practice. They were practicing the very next day after our season ended at KM Country Club. I haven’t had many players, much less the majority of the teams in the past, go out and practice the very next day after the season ended. They are a dedicated group and I can foresee us doing well next season.” KM’s only female golfer, Emma Short, is a junior and has also played and practiced her best every day, Moss said. “She is another player who loves to play and prac-
tice,” he noted. “After the first two matches of the season she started improving her score with each match. She scored her personal best with a nine-hole score of 54. “I would like to thank KM Country Club for everything they do for our golf program,” he added. “Ken Nantz, Ken Bridges, Pat Murphy and the rest of the country club staff make sure we are able to practice and host mathes. We are very fortunate to have KM Country Club and the support they give KMHS athletics.”
Connor Goodson All-BSC 3A tennis Kings Mountain’s #1 tennis player Connor Goodson was one of 13 players to make the Big South All-Conference team for the 2021 season. Goodson is a senior. It was his first time to be named all-conference. “As our top player on the KMHS varsity team this year, it was a well-deserved honor for Goodson to earn this top
award,” said Coach Rick Henderson. Goodson finished the season 2-4 in the conference. “But considering the strength of the Big South Conference and playing the #1 seed each and every match, the conference coaches felt he deserved the honor,” Coach Henderson said. “Connor was the leader of
our team in so many ways this year, and this award couldn’t have gone to a better student athlete on our team,” Henderson added. “He always set the example on and off the tennis courts. All of our players had the most respect for Goodson. He will for sure be missed as he graduates in the next couple of weeks.”
Jones has albatross in senior golf match Tony Beaver won both Cleveland County Senior Golf tournaments last week but the big news was that Henry Jones scored an albatross two on the par five second hole during Thursday’s match at Deer Brook. Jones used a three wood for the double eagle from
200 yards out. Kenny Howell, Stewart Smith and Greg Smith were his playing partners. Beaver’s 70 was the low score of the day. Floyd Latham took low net with a 63 (78-15). Richard Hammitt was closest to the pin on #12 and

Kings Mountain High’s 2021 women’s tennis team. From row, left to right Karisa Waldt, Melissa Brooks and Katie Murray. Back row, Hailey McCall, Hannah McCall, Railey Bolt, Katelyn Fleming and Coach Rick Henderson.
Lady Mountaineers tennis opens with four wins Kings Mountain High’s women’s tennis team is off to a good start with victories in their first four matches with Stuart Cramer, North Gaston, Hunter Huss and Ashbrook. Coach Rick Henderson’s ladies will be at home today at 4 p.m. against the Shelby Lady Lions. Henderson has four returning players from last year’s team including Hannah McCall, Hailey McCall, Railey Bolt and Karisa Waldt. New players are Melissa Brooks and Katie Morrow, who played last year at KM Middle School, and an experienced tournament player who transferred from the state of Georgia, Katelyn Fleming. “She will definitely help our team,” Henderson said. “Being optimistic, but I do look for Forestview to win the conference and the battle for second will be a toss up between Crest and Kings Mountain,” he said.
“Our players have worked very hard over the last several weeks and I feel the results will show on the court for all the hard work they have put into their practice sessions. “Staying healthy throughout the season will be a big bonus for us, especially with having only seven players,” he added. Over the first two weeks of action, the Lady Mountaineers kicked off the season with a 5-4 win over Cramer and later defeated North Gaston 8-1, Huss 9-0 and Ashbrook 9-0. “Being 4-0 these last two weeks truly shows that the girls will earn a little respect going forward,” Henderson said. “Knowing the Lady Jaguars, I do look for them to have a very strong team even though they have some newcomers.” KM’s opening match with Cramer was tight with the Lady Mountaineers winning 5-4. They took two doubles matches after the
two teams split their singles matches 3-3. “This was the first ever home match at our new tennis complex,” Henderson said, “and it couldn’t have been a better match against Stuart Cramer.” It was much easier against North Gaston, with the KM ladies winning 8-1. The only loss was by default by Railey Bolt who had to leave early for a chorus concert. KM had no trouble at all with Huss and Ashbrook, leaving KM and Forestview tied at the top of the standings. Today’s game with Shelby should be close and exciting. “I don’t know anything about Shelby’s tennis program this year,” Henderson said, “but I don’t intend on overlooking them due to their rich history in tennis. It’s been several years since the Shelby ladies have beaten our Lady Mountaineers, so it should be an exciting match.”
Mountaineers clip Raiders 3-1 Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers faced their first big test of the season last Tuesday at Belmont South Point and passed it with flying colors The Mountaineers beat a very good Red Raider team 3-1 with Boone Cartee driving in all of the runs and Charlie Melton, Wyatt Davis and Zane Brockman turning in an outstanding pitching performance. The Kings Mountain de-
fense committed just one error. Although the Mountaineers had just four hits, they placed them perfectly at the right time. Cartee’s three ribbies came on a base hit, sacrifice fly and bases-loaded walk. Melton started and worked the first four innings to get the win. He allowed no walks and struck out six. Wyatt Davis worked two innings, giving up the lone South Point run and striking
out two. Brockman came on in the bottom of the seventh and held the Raiders to just one hit. “No walks, that’s huge,” Coach Brad Melton said of his pitchers. “Their lefthander Jake Baity pitched very well in his six innings and Ethan Simmons relieved him in the seventh. Both teams had good pitching. It was like two bulls locking horns.”
Goff competing in NCAA regional Kentucky sophomore golfer Alex Goff of Kings Mountain was selected as an individual player in the Noblesville, Indiana, NCAA Regional May 17-19.
Goff led the Wildcats this season with a 72.28 stroke average, three top-20 finishes, two top-five finishes and a win at The Blessings Collegiate Invitational.

PCA receives $10K NGPF Gold Standard Challenge Grant Pinnacle Classical Academy is one of 141 high schools in the nation that have received a $10,000 Gold Standard Challenge Grant from Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF), a nonprofit committed to ensuring that all students leave high school with the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly complex financial world. Mary Stockham of Pinnacle Classical Academy is one of only three North Carolina teachers to receive the award, which supports personal finance programs. The school’s Econom-
ics and Personal Finance class “has been extremely informative,” said one student. “We have learned how to invest in the stock market, how to save for retirement, and how to avoid debt.” “I’m excited to see the momentum behind this initiative occurring across the United States,” added NGPF Co-Founder Tim Ranzetta. Founded in 2013, Pinnacle Classical Academy is a tuition-free K-12 public charter school. It attracts 1,083 students from five counties.

Boy Scout Troop 92 backpacking trek On Thursday, April 8, 2021, Boy Scout Troop 92 from Kings Mountain began a backpacking trek from Crowder’s Mountain State Park that ended on Sunday, April 11, 2021 in Kings Mountain National Military Park. The trip began at the Linwood Access of Crowder’s Mountain State Park. The Scouts backpacked 4.5 miles to the family campsites. On Friday, April 9, they traversed 12.2 miles. Along the way, they summitted
Pinnacle and the Boulders. They stopped in the Kings Mountain State Park primitive campsites and spent the night. On Saturday, they travelled 9.75 miles and rested in the Kings Mountain National Military Park at the Garner’s Creek campsite. A fierce game of bocce ball broke out at the Garner’s Creek campsite. Sunday, April 11, was the last day of the journey. The Scouts backpacked to the top of Brown’s Mountain for a church service.
They continued to the Battlefield Trail at KMNMP. The Scouts prepared dehydrated meals to pack in for meals. Where necessary, they filtered water from nearby creeks. Most of this contingent was part of a larger group that is going on a backpacking trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, New Mexico in the summer of 2022. The Crowder’s Mountain to Kings Mountain trip was good practice for what is to come.

Should You Be Screened for Lung Cancer? Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about lung cancer screenings? I was a big smoker but quit years ago, so I’m wondering if I should be checked out. Former Smoker Dear Still, Lung cancer screening is used to detect the presence of lung cancer in otherwise healthy people with a high risk of lung cancer. Should you be screened? It depends on your age and your smoking history. Here’s what you should know. Screening Recommendations The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force – an independent panel of medical experts that advises the government on health policies – recently expanded their recommendations for lung cancer screenings. They are now recommending annual screenings for high-risk adults between the ages of 50 and 80 who have at least a 20-pack year history who currently smoke or who have quit within the past 15 years. This is a change from the 2013 recommendation that referred to patients ages 55 to 80 with 30-year pack histories.
mended for every high-risk patient. LDCT scans have a high rate of false positives, which means that many will undergo additional (and unnecessary) screening or medical procedures, such as another scan three, six, or even 12 months later to check for changes in the shape or size of the suspicious area (an indication of tumor growth). For some patients, the anxiety or worry that goes along with waiting can be a real issue.
tor before making a decision.
This can help to ensure an accurate read of your scans by a highly trained, board-certified or board-eligible radiologist.
You’ll also be happy to know that most health insurance plans cover lung cancer screenings to high-risk patients, as does Medicare up to age 77.
Or you may need a biopsy (removal of a small amount of lung tissue), which has risks, especially for those with underlying health conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema. For example, in people with emphysema, there’s a chance of a lung collapsing during the procedure.
Screening Pros and Cons Doctors use a low-dose computed tomography scan (also called a low-dose CT scan, or LDCT) of the lungs to look for lung cancer. If lung cancer is detected at an early stage, it’s more likely to be cured with treatment. But a LDCT isn’t recom-
If you meet the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force criteria for high-risk lung cancer, the University of Michigan offers a free online tool (see ShouldIScreen.com) to help you decide if you should get an LDCT. It’s also important to discuss the benefits and risks with your primary care doc-
A 20-pack year history is the equivalent of smoking one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years. In 2020, lung cancer killed more than 135,000 Americans making it the deadliest of all possible cancers. In fact, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. Lung cancer also occurs predominantly in older adults. About two out of every three people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older.
Tips for Testing If you and your doctor determine that you should be screened, look for an imaging facility whose staff follows American College of Radiology requirements when performing low-dose CT scans. You can find accredited facilities at ACRaccreditation.org.
You may need a referral from your primary care provider. Most insurance companies, including Medicare require this before they’ll cover the cost of screening.
