E. coli outbreak continues to grow ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

The E. coli outbreak is widening with near doubling of cases since the weekend Public Health officials Monday identified at least 38 people - up from 16 Friday who became ill in an E. coli breakout linked to the Cleveland County Fair. Gage Lefevers, a two-year-old toddler

Death of 2-year old boy linked to outbreak The death of a child is heartwrenching. “Understandably caring people want to know how they can help,’’ ‘ said Pastor Joan Grigg of Josh and Jessica Gage Lefevers Lefevers, a griefstricken Gaston County couple whose two-year-old baby boy is the first death from the outbreak of E-coli in the region. Grigg said traffic by the family’s home near Dallas has been very heavy since blonde, blue-eyed Gage Lefevers died Friday from complications of an Ecoli infection. As of Monday, E-coli cases had nearly doubled - to 38. “There’s just a lot of tears, people are coming from everywhere wanting to know how they can comfort,’’ said Grigg, pastor of Trinity Church of the Living God in Kings Mountain where the little boy has visited with family. His grandparents, Wayne and Tammy Lefevers, and great-grandmother, Linda Lefevers, attend the local church. Pastor Grigg will conduct the funeral service in Gastonia today. “Everybody loved Gage, he was a beautiful child,’’ said Grigg. The family is asking for prayer and friends have also opened a Gage Lefevers Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo banks, including the Kings Mountain Wells Fargo. “The family attended the county fair the first Sunday it opened and Gage and his 5-year-old sister, Jaiden, loved it,’’ Mrs. Grigg said she was told in visits to the home. Soon after Gage became sick with what doctors originally thought was a virus. ‘It just happened so fast, we just could not believe it,’’ said Grigg. Mrs. Grigg said Gage would have celebrated his third birthday next month. His Halloween costume hangs in his bedroom. Friends send condolences on the church’s face book page, “Trinity Church Beautiful by Design,” also asking for prayer for others sickened by the deadly strain of bacteria. “Gage had a huge support system from his family,’’ said Grigg. Gage Lefevers was born Nov.18, 2009 and in addition to his parents and sister is survived by seven grandparents, nine great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Funeral arrangements are with the South Chapel of Greene Funeral Service and Crematorium in Gastonia. Interment will be private.

from Gaston County, died Friday, Oct. 12, of complications from the infection. As of Monday at 1 p.m., 22 children and 16 adults are known to be/have been affected by this outbreak. Eight have been or are currently hospitalized. One young victims’ condition in Gaston remains serious. The county case counts are as follows: Cleveland County 18; Gaston County 7; Lincoln County 9; Catawba County 1; Union County 1; York County, SC 1; and Cherokee County, SC 1. Public health investigators have not yet determined a specific source of the outbreak but confirm that the Cleveland County Fair is the common link between all cases. All patients went to the Cleveland County Fair

between Sept. 26 and Oct. 7. E. coli are bacteria found in the feces of animals such as cattle, sheep and goats. If people touch contaminated material, food or animals, they can transfer the bacteria from their hands to their mouths, or to others. E. coli outbreaks have also been associated with food products. Health officials are studying each case to determine which strain of E. coli has affected the patients – whether it came from animal waste or from improperly prepared food. A funeral service for the young son of Josh and Jessica Lefevers will be conducted by Pastor Joan Grigg of Trinity Church of the Living God of Kings Mountain Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Greene Funeral Service South Chapel in Gastonia. Interment is private..

The Kings Mountain area’s second solar farm, ATOOD, an acronym for Alternative to our Operational Dependency, will cut the ribbon on its 156kw solar field at 1835 S. Battleground Avenue Monday at 10 a.m. Brian Adams, chief executive officer, and Mayor Rick Murphrey, along with KM city officials, will officially open the operations center after which company officials will serve refreshments. “We are dedicating our largest project to date, a solar field that will produce energy to power 20 homes yearly,’’ said Adams, 27, who stepped out on faith, he said, to complete a project that started out as a dream but one that will provide cleaner,

less expensive energy. Adams said that ATOOD started the project in late July on 1/2 acres on Highway 29 near Grover (S. Battleground) to power 20 homes initially. What he loves about the project is that he sees solar as a key to freedom

from financial worries because it’s a huge tax incentive with low maintenance and energy efficient with less dependence on foreign oil. Adams is taking the “green” project to the schools, suggesting a curriculum piece about solar energy and the workplace.

A 2006 graduate of N. C. State University with major in mechanical engineering, Adams got the idea from his father, an architect for the big Rockwood (Chematal Foote) expansion and a project that included a covered See SOLAR FARM, 5A

McDevitt, community service a lifelong priority Community service through a 37 year career in law enforcement has John McDevitt been priority for John McDevitt, 57, all his life. Now retired, the Sheriff of Burke County who grew up in Kings Mountain is eyeing the new 46th District Senate seat up for grabs in November and was in Kings Mountain recently pumping hands and renewing acquaintances with friends he grew up with when his father, Tom McDevitt, was Kings Mountain Chief of Police from 1968-74. “Kings Mountain is my

hometown,’’ said McDevitt, who attended Junior High here and graduated from KMHS in 1973. His first jobs were at Falls Superette and the old Winn-Dixie, then at age 16 he ran a dryer for Jim Dickey at the old Margrace Road. “I cut the end of one finger off on that dryer,’’ he said, recalling some of the lessons learned in Kings Mountain. He graduated Western Piedmont Community College and followed in the footsteps of his father in law enforcement serving as the public service officer in Morganton for 18 years over fire and police departments. He ran for sheriff the first time in 1998 and it was in the Burke County Sheriff’s Department that he met his wife, the former Cathy

Cooper of Morganton, a former deputy in the sheriff’s department who is currently chief of police for state institutions including the N C. School for the Deaf. Mrs. McDevitt has worked nearly 30 years in law enforcement. One of his brothers is a former state highway patrolman and a sister is a dispatcher in the Forest City Police Department. The McDevitts reside in Morganton and have three children and two granddaughters. Former members of First Baptist Church of Kings Mountain, they are members of El Bethel Baptist Church in Morganton. McDevitt was voted “best elected official in Burke County” in 2010 and 2011, was recipient of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine

Accor: retiring after 33 years with CC Schools From page 1A of that group. Accor said one of her major milestones was the implementation of the school system’s first alternative schools in Kings Mountain District Schools. “One day the superintendent approached me and said there was a need for an alternative school in the system. He wanted me to lead the effort, we were given the old administration building on Parker Street and in four months the school opened,” she recalled. “Each child was a classroom for me and each one had a plan,” said Accor. Sometime during each school month after school Mary would rearrange the chairs. She didn’t want her students building cliques and being anti-social toward one another and by year’s end relationships were built between the students. Her first job in the Kings Mountain District School

system was teaching seventh graders at Central School. The summer before classes began she asked the principal to assign her children that some may consider a challenge. While the principal appeared astonished, Mary’s philosophy was that challenges are reasons for celebrating successes. “I wanted to make a real difference in the lives of those children,” she said, adding, “We brought many facets of home life to the classroom and so much joy to my life.” An alumni of the Kings Mountain school system Mary graduated from KMHS in 1975 where she was a cheerleader, Livingstone College in 1979 and UNC-Charlotte in 19881989 with a double masters degree in education. She said she followed the advice she often gave her students: “stay in school and get as much education as you can.” Wife of Charles Accor Sr., whom she married in August 1981, they are the

parents of one son, Charles Jr. and their first grandchild is Sioné Joshua. They are active in St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church. She is the youngest of five children of the late Amos and Mary Lee Smith Shear of Grover. Accor enjoys singing because “it soothes the soul,” drawing, calligraphy, decorating and developing crafts for mission groups. Her close knit family, her church, her work with children and her focus on economic development as an elected official, are her priorities. “Cleveland County was chosen for me by my parents but by choice I chose to remain here and there’s no place I would rather be,” says Accor.

Some people sickened by E. coli may develop severe complications, including kidney failure or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Young children, the elderly and people with other medical conditions are particularly at risk. Calvin Hastings, manager of the Cleveland County Fair, said all food stands were inspected more than

what was required by law and certified before they were allowed to open. He said nine hand-washing stations around the fairgrounds had signs urging fairgoers to wash their hands. While health directors from both Cleveland County and Gaston County have said that it’s clear the cases stemmed from the fair not all the patients participated in the same activities. The importance of handwashing is stressed by all officials, noting that the bacteria can be transferred by hand and families of those already infected can get sick.

Kings Mountain receiver Tico Crocker rips off a big gain after catching a pass from Jonathan Clark in Friday’s win at North Gaston.

Mountaineers beat North Gaston Stay in running for 3AA playoffs GARY STEWART Sports Editor

Kings Mountain High’s football team succeeded in its goal to keep North Gaston’s high-powered tripleoption offense off the field Friday night and the Mountaineers came away with a 20-12 Big South victory to keep their state playoff

hopes alive. The win broke a fourgame losing streak for the Mountaineers, who improved to 1-3 in the BSC and 3-6 overall. North Gaston fell to 0-5 in the BSC and 18 overall. In preceding weeks the Wildcats had been running wild on offense, averaging over 400 yards rushing per

Bids sought for KM field house project The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club will soon be breaking ground for a new $802,000 field house at Kings Mountain High School. Blueprints have been received and the Cleveland County School Board has given its approval to begin the bid process. Hall Builders Inc. of Kings Mountain is the general contractor. There is still time for sub-contractors Gary Stewart in the Kings Mountain area to submit Sports Editor bids for plumbing, electrical, etc. Approximately $52,000 a year over the next three years is needed to have the project completely funded. Local subcontractors can contribute to that need by submitting good bids or in-kind gifts. All interested need to contact Tommy Hall at 704-730-9696. The club also needs more donations from individuals, businesses and families in the area. One-time donations and donations split over a three-year period are needed in any amount you wish to give. Also, monthly bank drafts can be set up at First National Bank, Kings Mountain. Field house floor plans are also on display in the lobby of First National... Some of Kings Mountain’s all-time great football players will be attending Friday’s final home game against Crest. It’s the final night of the celebration of 90 years of Mountaineer football and players, coaches and volunteers from 1922-1979 will be recognized at halftime. They will gather at 6 p.m. in the south end zone for a meal and to renew old acquaintances and memories. One of the stars coming is George Harris, KM’s only High School All-American football player. Harris quarterbacked Shu Carlton’s 1955 team to the school’s first-ever conference championship and played four years at Duke University. He was the starting quarterback for the Blue Devils in the 1960 Orange Bowl game. Also coming is Ken Baity, who was the running star on that 1955 team, as well as the 1956 team that won the WNCHSAA title and the 1957 team which was coached by John Gamble. Baity was KM’s first 1,000-year rusher. Pat Murphy, who quarterbacked the 1963 and 1964 Mountaineers to back-to-back SWC titles and a 19-1-1 overall record, will also be here. He re-wrote all of the passing records at Appalachian State in the late sixties and See BIDS, 5B

game and a week earlier led state 3AA finalist Crest to the final two minutes before falling 43-36. The Mountaineers’ plan going in was to run the ball more and try to control the time of possession, and for the most part they accomplished their goal. North Gaston, which ran over 80 plays a week earlier, was

held to 46 plays (38 running and 8 passing) while the Mountaineers kept the ball for 65 plays (48 running and 17 passing). For the first time in four weeks the Mountaineers did not give up a one-play touchdown and their defense did a remarkable job on the Wildcats’ talented quarterback Nick Haskin. Haskin gained almost 200 yards a week earlier against Crest but the Mountaineers held him to 64

Mountaineers celebrate 90 years of football in final home game Friday with rival Crest roadblock in those plans. Like Kings Mountain, the Chargers have had some injuries, and like the Mountaineers they have been involved in some very close ball games, including the past two weeks against North Gaston and Hunter Huss. “They’ve missed their big linebacker (Duane Patterson) the last couple of weeks and I think that has affected their defense,” Coach Lloyd said. “But they have good players. They’re not 8-1 for nothing.” The Chargers have won 14 straight games against the Mountaineers on the field. KM picked up a forfeit over Crest after the 2005 season when the Chargers had to give up all of their wins because of an ineligible player. They come in with a lot of speed on both offense and defense. The game could come down to Crest’s running vs. Kings Mountain’s passing. “They run the majority of the time,” Coach Lloyd noted. “They have a very good outside and inside running attack. They have a good offensive line.” The Chargers have had trouble holding teams out

MOUNTAINEER POSTGAME PLAY OF THE GAME With 5:21 remaining in the game and North Gaston on KM’s 14 yard line, KM defensive back Dillon Frederick, who had been called up from the JV team, intercepted a pass inside the ten yard line and returned it to the 24. Behind the running of Guest (9 rushes for 43 yards), and two 15-yard penalties against the Wildcats (a face mask and an unsportsmanlike conduct call) the Mountaineers ran the clock out on a drive that ended with KM QB Jonathan Clark taking a knee at the NG 7.

We gave up a few big plays - not major - but we tackled their quarterback good and held him to only 64 yards. He had a very big game the week before against Crest). Haskin started off strong, with 60 of his yards coming See MOUNTAINEERS, 5B

90th Year

Kings Mountain High will culminate its celebration of 90 years of football Friday when the Mountaineers host Crest in their final regular season game. Numerous players from the past will be on hand and will be recognized at halftime. Player of the Decade Awards will be presented to George Harris (1950s), Pat Murphy (1960s) and Kevin Mack (1970s). Former players and other invited guests will gather at 6 p.m. in the south end zone for a meal and to renew acquaintances. The game is also the annual Senior Night observance with all senior players and their parents being recognized. The Mountaineers need a victory to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the upcoming state 3AA playoffs. Kings Mountain head coach Greg Lloyd feels his team has a chance if it can control time of possession and hold onto the football. Crest comes in with a 40 Big South and 8-1 overall record and is looking to another Big South championship meeting with defending champion South Point next week in Boiling Springs. Lloyd, a former Crest player and coach, would love to see his Mountaineers throw a

Kings Mountain got a good 1-2 running punch from DaShon Guest (169 yards rushing and two touchdowns) and Michael Douglas (69 yards rushing) and a solid passing effort from Jonathan Clark (12-for-17 for 129 yards and a 9-yard touchdown pass to Phillip

North Gaston’s Quadray Wats (5) breaks up a pass intended for Kings Mountain’s Dwayne Capps (88) in Thursday’s JV game at Gamble Stadium. Kings Mountain made a big second half comeback but fell short to North Gaston 2014 Thursday at John Gamble Stadium. The Wildcats got first half touchdowns from Rakeem Brown on a six-yard run and Marquis Hamilton on a 25-yard pass from Ethan Wiggins to take a 12-0 lead. Hamilton later intercepted a KM pass in the end zone to take a shutout into halftime. North threatened to go up by three touchdowns in the third quarter, driving to the KM seven before a pass interception in the end zone by Marquise Camp stopped them. An interception by Deerick Williams, which he returned 20 yards to the Wildcat 20, set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Jair McCluney that cut the margin to 12-6 with 8:55 remaining. North Gaston responded with a 78-yard drive, capped off with a 24-yard touchdown run by Wiggins to make the score 20-6 with 5:03 left.

Kings Mountain drove 62 yards to score on a one-yard quarterback sneak by Brandon Bell, and Bell’s two-point conversion with 2:53 left brought the Mountaineers within a touchdown. Wiggins broke loose for a 44-yard gain to the KM five, and a face mask penalty gave the Wildcats a first and goal at the two. But three consecutive tackles for losses by Bryan Sanders, Colin Watkins and Cedric Wilson resulted in the Mountaineers getting the ball back with just over a minute remaining and a shot at driving for the win. But a pass interception by Hamilton clinched the win for the Cats. Bell led the Mountaineers in rushing with 97 yards on 13 carries and McCluney, making his first start at running back, added 69 yards on 13 attempts. Sanders, Chance Frederick, Zavier Roberts, Gage Kornegay, Brandon Sheffield, Seth Ortega, Camp, Williams, Wilson and Watkins played well on defense.

KMMS plays tough against top two teams Kings Mountain Middle School’s softball team played great games against the top two East Division teams in their final Tri-County games last week. On Tuesday, KM fell to second place North Lincoln 11-1 in six innings. Jennifer Hamrick and Kassidy Hamrick split pitching duties. KM kept it close until a 7-run fifth inning by North Lincoln broke the game open. Ashton Withers and Megan McQueen reached base for the Patriots with Withers scoring on consecutive stolen bases.

On Wednesday, KM played its best game of the year against first place East Lincoln. KM built a 6-0 lead heading into the fifth inning. In the first, Withers was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on Destiny Hamrick’s single. KM increased its lead to 6-0 after four innings. Destiny Hamrick and Madison Hoyle led off the third with singles and scored on Briasia White’s one-out double. In the fourth, Withers singled and scored all the way from first on Cassidi Melton’s fielder’s choice. Destiny

Hamrick walked and came around to score on a Hoyle triple. Hoyle led off the seventh with a triple and scored on McQueen’s grounder, tying the score. KM held in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings. In the eighth, KM left the go-ahead run stranded at second base and East squeezed home the winning run on an intentional walk pitch out. Jennifer Hamrick and Kassidy Hamrick pitched for the Lady Patriots. KM finished fourth in the final division standings.

MOUNTAINEERS: beat North Gaston From page 1B in the first half. But several times he was thrown for losses by the Mountaineer line and linebackers, and on his only big run of the game - the 36-yarder - he was chased down from behind by Michael Douglas. KM probably would have dominated time of possession even more had the Mountaineers not lost two fumbles. However, on the first play after Haskin’s 36yard run he fumbled and KM’s Markel Hemphill recovered it at the KM 17 to

put KM’s clinching TD drive in motion. The biggest defensive play came with 5:21 remaining. With KM up 20-12, the Wildcats drove from their own 28 to the KM 14. But after a five-yard penalty put the Wildcats on the 19, Haskin went to the air. KM sophomore defensive back Dillon Frederick, who was just called up from the JV team, intercepted Haskin’s pass inside the 10 and returned it to the 24 yard line. Kings Mountain moved steadily down field behind the running of Guest and ran

the clock out at the North seven. “Except for the two fumbles, our offense played well,” said Coach Lloyd. “The line really played well and I thought our running backs had a good game. They both did a nice job. “Except for the one missed extra point, the special teams played pretty good. We got good play out of a lot of people. Frederick’s interception was big. It was a critical play. Everybody played hard. North Gaston is a pretty good team. That was a good win.”

scary story contest 3 Age Categories:

90th YEAR: Crest KM’s final home game From page 1B of the end zone the past several weeks, due largely to the absence of Patterson. Lloyd feels like he will at least see some playing time this week. “They have a couple super players (the other being Dane Rogers)” who have committed to Division I teams. “They have good speed on defense,” Lloyd said. “It’s a big challenge,” he

added. “But if we can play like we did last Friday and stay focused we have a good opportunity.” Lloyd wants to use the same philosophy that paid off for the Mountaineers last week at North Gaston, and that is to keep the Crest offense on the sideline. “We want to stay on offense and get lots of first downs,” he said, “and prevent turnovers. Last year, especially in the playoff game,

we turned the ball over early and it snowballed on us. We need to be sure we tackle on defense and stay on the field on offense and have no mistakes on special teams. Last year we gave up a big run deep into our territory on the first play of the game and that’s a killer.” Lloyd said keeping North Gaston’s offense off the field last week frustrated the Wildcats. “We need to use that same formula again.”

Downtown KM decorated for fall

photos by LIB STEWART

Suzanne Amos, left, who operates The Amos Agency, receives the first place award in the downtown decorating contest from the Chamber’s Shirley Brutko. Fall in October is bringing innovative decorations to the downtown. Shirley Brutko, Director of the Kings Mountain Office, Cleveland Chamber, invites downtown businesses to display decorations from now until Thanksgiving to treat visitors and citizens to the

beautiful Fall color and foliage. Contest prizes were donated by the Southern Arts Society, Battleground Steak House and Artist Shirley Brutko. Assisting the Chamber office with the contest were Renee Hill, Debbie Mauney and Jewel Reavis.

Mauney Memorial Library took the third place award in the downtown decorating contest.

‘Gateways to the South’ on display at the Depot New SAS exhibit features southern history, landmarks The Southern Arts Society Exhibition underway at the KM Arts Council at the Depot through Nov. 9 is generating excitement and adding to the appreciation from the public was a public reception Saturday and presentation of awards. Over 60 artists participated in the tough competition. Artists interpreted our southern history and well known landmarks in painting, photography and sculpture. ‘’My selection of the winning works was based on technical merit, creative thought and how the work drew me to discover its a aesthetic qualities,’’ said Dr. Mary Lou Hightower, USC Upstate Associate Art Professor. First Place was awarded to Gary A. Shelley’s oil painting, “Fallen Timbers”. This work demonstrated a strong technical skill that at first glance made you think that you were viewing a photograph. There was a subtle play of light reflected in the foliage and danced along the ripping water that gave the viewer a feeling of a cool summer day in the forest. Though at first glance, the work appears to be photorealistic, upon closer inspection the work reflects the creative hand of the artist interpreting the special place. He won a $200 cash prize. Second Place was awarded to Lori McAdams’ “Antiquing”. This scratchboard work was executed in high degree of technical merit. This medium does not allow any margin of error in achieving the perspective view of an antique shop. Again this work seems to follow the overall theme of the exhibition by allowing the viewer a special insight into a world of old items and treasures of the past. She won a $150 cash prize. Third Place was awarded to Ann Walker’s

fabric doll,“Addie”. This 3D rendering of female figure demonstrate a strong aesthetic sensitivity to form. The delicate handling of the features especially in the face and feet gave the work a demanding presence. This figure will cause you to wonder what the figure was thinking after a hard day’s work in the garden. She won a $75 cash prize. Merit Awards went to three artists who won $50 cash prizes. Martha Manco’s acrylic painting,“Chimney Rock in Autumn” was given the Merit Award for its creative impression of a wellknown landmark . Many artists have painted its likeness but the strong color palette of autumn moved away from photorealism to impressionistic view of the familiar scene. Tammy Farley’s “Era 1850’s” was a sensitive photograph that captured a homey porch scene. The decision of a straw hat placed between unoccupied old wooden chairs proved to a strong draw to this judge’s eye. The work portrays a warm look into bygone days. Lorene Lovell’s “Memory Spaces” was a technically executed watercolor. The artist’s decision to pull a strong burst of light through the background trees gives the work an almost eerie impression. This work conveys the artist’s special style to a memorable place. “Gateways to the South” will be on display in the galleries of Southern Arts Society through Nov. 9, 2012 at the depot, 301 N. Piedmont Avenue, Kings Mountain. Gallery hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Thursdays 10 a.m.8 p.m. and Saturdays 11 a.m.-3 p.m. For more information call 704-739-5585. This is a free event, there is no admission free.

Kerns strikes goal with position change by Patrick McCoy Atlantic Sun Conference

“It’s amazing how much you can accomplish when no one cares who gets the credit.” That saying is a favorite of ETSU women’s soccer head coach Adam Sayers and one that he has passed on to his team and top-goal scorer Ramey Kerns, who leads the nation with 15 goals. Kerns has a mantle full of awards and records from her lone striker position thus far in the season. The Kings Mountain, N.C. native owns the program single-season record for goals (15) and points (33) to go along with three Atlantic Sun Player of the Week awards in 2012. But if you talked with Kerns you won’t find a flashy forward, but rather a humble team player who has switched positions three times in her career and is quick to point out her recent accomplishments are the products of not only her efforts but also her teammates. “I never thought I could accomplish those feats. I’m just here to help the team out wherever possible and I’ve been lucky enough to get those records and it’s just a mark for this team and shows the hard work we put in and effort we give on the field.” In 2011, Kerns switched positions from forward, where she played as a freshman, to an outside midfielder as Sayers took over the women’s soccer program and brought a new system with him. The changes saw immediate results as the Buccaneers earned a share of the A-Sun Regular-Season title with FGCU and Jacksonville for the first time in program history. That team set program records for goals and points, while tying the ETSU marks for wins (13) and conference wins (7) as Genna Petersen, the 2011 A-Sun Player of the Year, and Jenna Caudle, the 2011 A-Sun Freshman of the Year, served as the offensive workhorses by combining for 21 goals and six assists. However, Kerns made her contributions to the team known as two of her three goals were game-winners in conference play. “With the role we asked her to play last year she didn’t score as many goals, but the ones that she did score were some of the most im-

Tied at 1-1 with Belmont on the road, Kerns found the back of the net in the 87th minute to give the Bucs the win after trailing 1-0 in the match. In the final match of the regular season vs. Mercer and ETSU needing a win for a share of the A-Sun title, Kerns once again struck late with a goal in the 81st minute to give ETSU the 2-1 win. With four conference matches remaining in the 2012 season, ETSU sits in sixth place in the A-Sun with nine points and can still capture the program’s secondever A-Sun title. Kerns, a sophomore on last year’s ASun Regular-Season title team, knows winning a conference crown takes more than one player to accomplish. “I’ve always kind of thought that I’ve been lucky to lead the team in scoring, but I just go out there and play my hardest and work my hardest and so does everyone else on the team. I want to be there for the team and help us win and I think everyone on the team has that same mentality about them.” With Kerns flourishing in her new role as a striker, Coach Sayers sides with Kerns that her teammates deserve a lot of credit for her goal total, but also concedes that one piece doesn’t work without the other. “The team is creating these chances for her very well, but the system still needs someone with very

KMMS golfers remain unbeaten heading into conference tourney Kings Mountain Middle School’s golf team defeated Crest and Rutherford County Monday at River Bend YMCA Golf Course to remain undefeated heading into next week’s Tri-County Conference tournament at River Bend. The Patriots shot a 175. Crest finished second at 183 and Rutherford County shot 186. Andrew Proper of Crest was medalist with a one-over-par 37. Alex Goff led the Patriots with a 41. Dawson Adams shot 44, Carson Bailey 45, JT Cash 45, Harrison Conner 47 and Elliott Mann 48. Kings Mountain was scheduled to play in the Cleveland County championship yesterday at Deerbrook against Shelby, Crest and Burns. Next week’s conference tournament will include Kings Mountain, East Lincoln, West Lincoln, Lincolnton, North Lincoln, Rutherford County, Burns, Crest and Shelby.

Ramey Kerns • Has scored 15 goals and has three assists so far this year. • Broke the ETSU record for goals in a season (12) set in 2002 by Erin Ashton. • Broke the ETSU record for points in a season (30) set in 2005 by Erin Ashton. • Currently leads the NCAA in goals scored with two other players (Daphne Cortez, Georgetown ... and Stephanie DeVita, Furman). • Leads the NCAA alone in goals per game (1.154).

Seventy-two golfers raised $6,100 for the Kings Mountain Family YMCA We Build People campaign in the second annual Y golf tournament Wednesday at the YMCA Riverbend Golf Course near Boiling Springs. The team of Don Essary, Jody Delvechio, Dave Field and Marcus Hunt of Hickory shot a 17-under-par 55 to finish in first place. Second was the Kings Mountain team of Jim Jolly, his sons Chris and Michael Jolly, and Jimbo Thompson, who combined for a 14-under 58. Third were Pat Phifer, Lujak Ridings, Stefin Bridges and Chris Lowndes with an 11-under 61. Corporate sponsors were Brinkley Finan-

sharp quick movement inside the 18-yard box and has the instinctive ability to finish accurately with a firsttime shot and she is pretty good at that.” As long as Ramey continues scoring and ETSU continues to accomplish more on the pitch, Kerns and Sayers don’t care who gets the credit. Mal Brutko sinks a birdie putt on #5.

cial Corporation, Eric and Cathy Moore and Cheyenne International. “The tournament was very good,” commented Kings Mountain YMCA Director Kevin Osborne. “We were blessed to have Brinkley Financial, Eric and Cathy Moore and Cheyenne International as our corporate sponsors.” Funds raised go to the We Build People campaign which provides financial assistance and scholarships to young children for participation in YMCA sports, summer camps and after school programs. “It was a great day for Kings Mountain,” Osborne said.

Ronnie Franks barely misses a birdie putt on #15.

Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church An old Jewish story tells of a man who had two sons, and when the time came for this man to die, he called his sons together and told them that he was ready to disperse his land between them. To the older son he gave the harder land, because he would know how to work it. To the younger son he gave the bottom land, the best land, because he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been with the father as long and did not know how to farm as well. And then he told them to remember that they were his sons and brothers always, and always to stay to-

gether in heart even if they were separated in life and circumstances. Soon after he died, and the two sons took their land and began their lives. The older son never married. He worked the poorer land, but did very well on it. The younger son married and had many children. He worked the bottom land and sometimes did well, but he needed everything to care for his family. Many years went by, and the brothers did not see each other, so involved were they with their separate lives. One night the older son was counting wheat sheaves in his barn and wondered how his younger brother was doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My younger brother has so many mouths to feed,â&#x20AC;? he thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good harvest. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring him some sheaves tonight and just leave them in his barn.â&#x20AC;? So he counted out twelve sheaves of wheat and took them to his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barn.

Meanwhile, the younger brother was thinking about his older brother: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother never married and he must be lonely without a wife and children. My harvest has been especially good this year, so I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take some sheaves of wheat over to him.â&#x20AC;? So he counted out twelve sheaves and slipped over in the darkness and left them in his brother's barn. The next morning they were both counting their sheaves and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out how they had given away twelve and yet still had the same number as before. They decided to bring more the next night, so that night they counted out twelve more and did the same as the night before. Again the next morning, they found that they still had just as many sheaves as before. So once more they counted out twelve sheaves as a gift, but this last night there was a full moon, so the brothers met each other at the border of their lands.

When they realized what each other was doing, they fell into each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms weeping, remembering their father and praising God, and they renewed their promise not to

forget each other in their hearts. Jewish tradition says that the spot where those brothers met was the spot where the elders of Israel chose to build the Temple in

Jerusalem, for wherever brothers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or sisters, families, neighbors, or even nations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meet sincerely and respectfully is holy ground and God is glorified.
