New fire district burning residents wallets Homeowners in the new county fire district south of the city are feeling the pain in their wallets since insurance costs spiraled with insurance classification change from the state, they told city council at the recent meeting. “It’s killing us, we need help from Kings Mountain,’’ said Bobby Maner, of Police Club Road. His neighbor, Mike Badger, of Alex Owens Road, also spoke during the meeting. The neighborhood outside the city limits along Highway 161- Lake
Inappropriate student/staff relationships rare in our area
Montonia Road, the old city water lake area and all the way to the South Carolina line - has been put in a Class 10 designation by the state Department of Insurance. Insurance companies are canceling fire insurance policies and costs to residents are sky rocketing. Kings Mountain Fire Chief Frank Burns says he is sympathetic with the residents. Burns said the city has been in negotiations with county officials for months and offered a contract to provide fire protection for the area.
Kings Mountain has had a mutual aid agreement for years with Bethlehem Fire Department, the primary responder to the 161 area, and responds to fire calls. “We can get there first because it’s closer,’’ he said. “But if a fire occurs there and in Kings Mountain at the same time KMFD is primary responder to Kings Mountain. Our first responsibility is to Kings Mountain taxpayers. “We haven’t been sitting around here doing nothing, we’re working on a resolution to your problem,� mayor pro tem Rodney Gordon exclaimed.
Several other residents of the outside city fire district were in the audience last Tuesday at city hall as Badger and Maner spoke of the community’s plight. “We want to be in the Kings Mountain fire district,’’ said Badger. ‘We eat, work, own businesses here and we’re neighbors to Kings Mountain.� Burns explained that the 161 (off York road) area has been served by the county’s Bethlehem Fire Department once considered by the state’s insurance department a district six

In addition to the other things parents have on their minds when they send their kids off to school are those disturbing cases where teachers or other staff members engage in what are often termed “inappropriate relationships� with students. Fortunately, cases where school staff members prey on students in a sexual way in Cleveland and Gaston counties are rare. “Cleveland County Schools has had no teachers suspended or fired for this reason in recent years,� said Donna Carpenter, director of public information for the district. In Gaston County, a case in January saw a Bessemer City High School bus driver, 33-year-old Kwanda Carpenter, charged with two counts of sexual activity with a student by a school employee after allegedly engaging in a sex act off campus with two boys, ages 16 and 17, last October. The male students allegedly tried to extort $60 from Carpenter via a Facebook post but they ended up being charged with blackmail. “Carpenter was dismissed from her bus-driving duties effective January 11,� said Gaston County Schools spokeswoman Bonnie Reidy. The only other recent case in Gaston County where a teacher was disciplined for alleged sexual activity with a student or students took place in February 2012 when East Gaston High teacher Bradford Wayne Mulkey, 32, was arrested and charged with indecent liberties with a child.

Relay sets goal of 100K Kings Mountain Relay for Life will have a goal of $100,000, according to Co-chairman Frank Burns, Chief of the Kings Mountain Fire Department. “We’re aiming high and we can make it,’’ said Burns who is co-chair with Tammy Wyatt. Team captains will choose their members from interested citizens at Monday night’s 6 p.m. meeting of the planners at Fire Station I beside of City Hall downtown. The closest amount raised to the goal of $100K from Relay for Life was four years ago. Last year Kings Mountain citizens raised $56,000. The Relay for Life celebration will be held May 3 at the Kings Mountain Walking Track.
miles from the houses it served. That all changed when insurance companies started using gps locators and found the distance from Bethlehem in the county was more than six miles. Insurance Service Office (ISO) set the insurance rates which went from a class 9 to class 10, policies are being canceled and rates went up. “These folks want the county to contract with the city for fire protection,’’ he added. Chief Burns held in his hands a sample contract that is still to be considered by the county.

The City of Kings Mountain has received a clean (perfect) audit of its books for the 14th straight year. Aaron Smith, accountant with Martin Starnes & Associates, CPAs, P.A., told city council last Tuesday night that the audit is an unqualified opinion of the city’s financial statements which is the best opinion that can be given in an independent audit. Mayor Rick Murphrey credited the record to the strong commitment of employees. Smith discussed some of the financial highlights for fiscal year 2012 for city council, including information on property taxes, fund

Mary Manuel Lochridge Served as a missionary KINGS MOUNTAIN – Mary Manuel Lochridge, 88, left Kings Mountain Hospice House at 9:41 p.m. Feb. 1, 2013 and walked into her new dwelling place. She was no doubt greeted by her Lord and Savior with those words all of us should long to hear: “Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy your Lord has prepared for you.� The youngest of six children born to Rev. M.E.

take care of your heart by being familiar with these common heart conditions!
Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases When you think of heart disease, usually people think of coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries leading to the heart), but coronary artery disease is just one type of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease includes a number of conditions affecting the structures or function of the heart. They can include: Coronary artery disease (including heart attack); Abnormal heart rhythms or arrythmias; Heart failure; Heart valve disease; Congenital heart disease; Heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy); Pericardial disease; Aorta disease and Marfan syndrome; and Vascular disease (blood vessel disease). Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. It is important to learn about your heart to help prevent heart disease. And, if you have cardiovascular disease, you can live a healthier, more active life by learning about your disease and treatments and by becoming an active participant in your care.

Backpacks supply love, care, and healthy foods too BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com
Many Kings Mountain elementary school children are assured a nutritional weekend, thanks to the Kings Mountain Rotary Club. The Rotary Club sponsors a backpack program for the children. In these backpacks, which are distributed to the children at their schools on Fridays, is a full weekend’s worth of healthy foods for the children. The backpacks, which carry the healthy food, are provided by the Rotary Club. This year additional backpacks have been provided by C. A. Short Co. in Shelby. The Rotary International emblem was embroidered on the donated backpacks by Greg and Sherry Johnson of KM Embroidery. The backpack program has grown from providing ten backpacks at the beginning of school last year, to providing 50 by the end of the school year. This year, so far, there are 70 backpacks delivered each Friday to the different schools. Project chairman Brenda Lovelace said that they have set a goal of 100 backpacks this year. Every elementary school in the Kings Mountain area participates in the packpack program. Although the Rotary Club sponsors the program, area churches, organizations, and individuals volunteer their time, money and food donations. Some of the many area volunteers include the KM Crisis Ministry, Anew Beginning Baptist Church, East Gold Street Wesleyan Church, classes at Patterson Grove Baptist and First Baptist Churches, the City of Kings Mountain, the Patrick Senior Center and individuals wanting to contribute. Mrs. Lovelace told of one visitor who had wanted to help by providing the food for five backpacks. When she went to get the backpacks for the visitor, she realized there were

only five backpacks left. It seems that some things just aren’t coincidence. No student’s names are given to the Rotary Club, rather the name tags have a number which will be matched to each student. The need for a student to have a backpack is determined by each school’s guidance counselor, who will also consider any requests for a student to be in the program. No student is turned down. If there are other siblings at the school or in the home, extra food is sent home for them as well. When there is a long weekend holiday, extra food is provided to compensate for the additional day(s). Recently, Kings Mountain schools were dismissed due to bad weather
before all the backpacks had been delivered. In this situation, the schools have a supply of food which they can pack up to send home with the children. Lovelace said that the backpack program has instilled a sense of responsibility in the participating students. They have learned that the backpacks should be returned to school at the first of the week. In the case that a student has not returned their backpacks in time, their food is still sent to the school to be provided to the student. A typical backpack for the weekend will include two breakfast items such as Pop Tarts and cereal, two lunch items such as Beanee Weenees and chicken and dumplings, two dinner items such as Beefaroni and Ramen
Noodles, juice boxes, applesauce and fruit cups, and snack items such as peanut butter crackers and fruit roll-ups. To stay consistent with what food is provided, most of the food is purchased in bulk. Some volunteers, such as the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry provide the Lance crackers and other foods on a regular basis. Donations of money are appreciated, and help with the purchase of the food. It is so inspiring to look at the food gathered in groups on a table, waiting for the Rotary volunteers to pack it in the backpacks. This gesture makes a big difference in how students may eat when they are home for weekends. The schools report that the students and their families are very appreciative of the food which is provided for the weekends. Mitch Johnson, one of the volunteers said, “We don’t deserve the highlights. The kids’ stories do.� The Rotary Club can always use more volunteers to help with the program. Rotary Club members along with Leslie Ramsey, Mike Weisman and Mitch Johnson help with packing the backpacks, and Mrs. Lovelace’s husband, Edward, generously provides his time and vehicle to deliver the backpacks on Friday. Hazel Thrift of the Rotary Club usually picks up and delivers to Grover on her way to Rotary on Thursdays. Several more people are in the process of assisting in the program by helping with pick up and delivery of the backpacks at the schools. If you are interested in volunteering with the backpack program, you can contact Brenda Lovelace at blovelace@bellsouth.net. If you know of any elementary age child who is in need of a backpack to provide weekend meals, you can contact the guidance counselor at the child’s Kings Mountain elementary school.
KSM Castings welcomed to Cleveland County KSM Castings, a German auto-products producer, will build its first US manufacturing facility on Washburn Switch Road in West Shelby and construction is expected to start this summer. NC Secretary of Commerce Sharon Allred Decker made the announcement at the LeGrand Center in Shelby at noon Friday before visiting plant officers, Shelby city, county and state leaders. “Governor Pat McCrory and I are committed to improving the economy of North Carolina and attracting plants like KSM Castings. These specially advanced jobs are what the Governor talked a lot about in his inaugural address.� Decker added, “We want to see products made in North Carolina and today is simultaneous economic development at work. We set policy in Raleigh but here in Cleveland County is where the rubber meets the road. We set the stage for growth and you make it happen.’’
Dr. Frank Boshoff, CEO of KSM Castings, said the investment in the Shelby plant is a big step in the company’s global expansion goals. He said the company plans to create 189 jobs in the county by the end of 2018 and invest more than $45 million into its Cleveland County facility, expected to be operational in early 2014. Hiring and staffing will begin in late 2013, he said. Compensation will vary by job function, but the average salary for the new positions is expected to be $42,810 plus benefits. The average annual wage in Cleveland County is $32,760. KSM Castings is one of the leading suppliers of complex lightweight metal components for powertrain and chassis components in the automobile industry. KSM operates six plants in Germany, the Czech Republic and China with 2900 employees. The company’s customers include principal automobile manufacturers

MEDITATION
We can listen and learn from each other In recent years, I have heard stories of young people who feel they have been hurt by the church. In fact, there are even new churches springing up that have as one of their intentions to reach out to those who have felt hurt, marginalized, or mistreated by the members of some congregation somewhere. Many churches in this category are described as part of the “emerging church” because they tend to challenge some of the ideas that have in the past been thought of as the essentials of our faith. Over against those who
have embraced this “emerging” faith, though, are others who seem to counter objections to traditional views with a kind of theological rigidity that seems to me to be reminiscent of the Pharisees, who were famed in Jesus’ day for having maintained a “hedge around the law,” and who even ended up making being a faithful follower harder than it had to be. An example of this second group is a young man I met recently. This young man was bright and talented, passionate about his faith and blessed with great potential.
Yet like many a new seminary graduate who fills his discussion of our faith with quotations from Barth, Niebuhr and Tillich, this young man felt he had mastered a collection of theological concepts. In a discussion about beliefs, I tried to explain to him my feelings about the gift of salvation, but my simple affirmation did not please my youthful dialogue partner, who made it clear that my words were not enough for members of “his generation,” whom he said needed “proof” of the Christian faith, and it was apparent
that he thought such proof could be found in making rigid choices between the so called “theories of the atonement.” Now I can appreciate why many young people feel uncomfortable with the local church these days, for we are living in a “pluralistic” culture where there is greater diversity than there was when the older generations among us grew up. In the past, many of us probably spent most or all of our lives with people who were largely like us, but today it is not uncommon to be exposed to a wide variety of
ways of seeing God and the world. As a result, many of us are realizing that the way a neighbor worships God or sees the world may be just as legitimate as the way we always have, but not everybody is as open to the views of others, which is why they tend to respond by becoming rigid and acting as if they are sure their way is the only right way and they need to defend it. Furthermore, if you don’t hold their view, then something is wrong with you. Now I don’t embrace everything that everybody else believes, but I do
Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church think we all need to learn to listen more carefully to one another so as to appreciate the unique way that each of us understands and practices our faith.

GROVER: drainage project From page 1A engineer at this point.� No action was taken on the possible sale of a building at 208 Main Street beside Grover Fire Department and council members are inviting firemen, who want to buy the building, to attend next month’s meeting to discuss a proposal made to them.

No one has applied for conditional use permits and Internet sweepstakes businesses

are closed. He said the N. C. Attorney General’s office has declined to offer an advisory opinion as to what types of video sweepstakes, if any, can continue to operate under a ban Dec. 14, 2012 by the North Carolina Superior Court. City council is enforcing its overgrown weeds and vegetation ordinance and cracking down on violations. Warning letters have been delivered to two residents and one has complied. Another letter will be delivered to a resident who has three days to comply without a fine. After 10 days, the fee increases to $25 each day.
STUDENTS & STAFF: inappropriate relations cases rare From page 1A The incident had allegedly taken place on Nov. 29, 2011. He resigned his position at East Gaston on Dec. 16, 2011. In July 2012, Mulkey pleaded not guilty to sexual battery. Mulkey had been hired by GCS in 2007. Mecklenburg County Schools have had several recent cases of inappropriate staff/student activity. The most recent being that of a Myers Park High School exceptional children teacher, 43-year-old Kristina Ngum. She was arrested Jan. 5, 2012 and charged with one count of sexual activity with a student. The alleged sex with a male student was off-campus. Even though cases such as Carpenter, Mulkey, and Ngum crop up, Gaston, Cleveland, and other school districts across North Carolina, as well as the NC Dept. of Public Instruction, have policies and procedures in place to try and stop individuals from being hired who have a criminal background. Also those who having been hired and later fired for a crime or crimes that make them a bad risk for being around kids, then move to another location in the state looking for an education job. Vanessa Jeter, director of communications for NCDPI, explained. “We look across the whole state and take these situations extremely seriously. If a person does a crime in one district we want to make sure they can’t just go a couple of counties over to another school district.� School staff who commit acts that require discipline are ultimately dealt with by officials in Raleigh. According the NC Board of Education, there are nine grounds for suspending or revoking a teaching license in North Carolina. One of these includes “illegal, unethical, or lascivious conduct�. School administrators can also get in hot water for failing to report knowledge of
such conduct by members of their staff. In Burke County, administrators at Hildebran Elementary School are currently being sued for allegedly failing to tell officials about a teacher who pleaded guilty to posting explicit photos of children on the Internet and also to sexually assaulting them. The teacher, Michael Alexander, was sentenced to 50 years in Central Prison. Even if a school staff member is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student in North Carolina, the process to take their teacher’s license can be a long one involving several layers of hearings and appeals. Since 1967, the State Board of Education revoked 430 licenses statewide. If a teacher’s license is revoked, the State Board of Education reports the action to the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification Clearinghouse (NASDTEC), so that other states can be made aware of the situation. NC General Statute 115C333(d) requires local school boards such as GCS or Cleveland County Schools to notify the State Board of Education each time it fires an employee for any reason other than reduction in workforce. Local boards must also send copies of dismissal letters to the Legal Affairs Office of the State Board for examination and filing. The State Board is required to make these names available to school systems which is done by a secure Internet site. Only authorized persons are able to access the list of dismissed teachers. Even though cases of inappropriate relationships between school staff and students are rare, they sometimes take place, but that doesn’t mean that every step humanly possible isn’t taken by state and district officials to prevent them from occurring or if they do, that the guilty party is dealt with as quickly and firmly as possible.

KSM: welcomed to Cleveland County From page 3A Investments, and up to $705,000 One North Carolina Fund, plus incentives from Cleveland County and Shelby city governments. Under the terms of the JDIG grant, the company is eligible to receive a grant equal to 65 percent of the state personal income withholding taxes derived from the creation of new jobs for each of the 12 years in which the company meets annual performance targets. If KSM meets the targets called for under the agreement and sustains them for 12 years, the JDIG could yield as much as $2.86 million in maximum benefits for the company. KSM plans to construct a 110,000 square foot production facility in Shelby and install 8-10 high pressure die-casting machines. Products made at the new plant will include fully machined transmission, engine and steering parts. Potential future expansion could include the production of gearbox housings, and body and chassis applications that partly require additional production processes such as gravity diecasting and counter pressure casting. “Our decision to invest in North Carolina is an important step towards the company’s strategy to increase its global production footprint,’’ said Boshoff. He said the new facility in Shelby will enable the company to expand its business with existing and new customers in the US in the background of increasing demands for lightweight casting solutions that help customers comply with stricter emission regulations and im-
prove driving performance at the same time. We are fully convinced that the technology expertise provided by KSM Castings and the availability of a skilled manufacturing workforce in an emerging automotive cluster make a perfect match for achieving our future goals,’’ he said. County Commissioner Eddie Holbrook said the announcement of KSM Castings is a great way to start 2013. “Our Economic development team has been working to land this project for over a year. Congratulations to them for a job well done,’’ he said, signaling out Kristin Fletcher, Executive VP of Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership, for her strong leadership over the past five years, recruiting more than 35 companies to Cleveland County with 3,600 new jobs and $4.7 billion in capital investments. “This is a great day for the citizens of Shelby, Cleveland County and the entire state of North Carolina,’’ said city of Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony, welcoming the visitors from Germany and speaking in their native German as he welcomed them and wished for them success and prosperity for many years to come. He took the occasion to present a flag and plaque with a key to the city of Shelby. Cleveland County Commission Chairman Ronnie Hawkins expressed thanks from the commission for the hard work of Kristin Fletcher and the entire Economic Development team. “We are excited about the increase this project will bring to our tax base and we are especially pleased that KSM will create

The History of Valentine's Day Every February candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — possibly his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia
festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. The boys sliced goat's hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans in 1415 to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to

exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass-produced valentines in America.

Good Hope Presbyterian - a small church that’s big on love ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
“Without Love, you have nothing,’’ said Elder David L. Moore Sr. in his message to the congregation of Good Hope Presbyterian Church Sunday morning. Prior to his message Moore said that his small congregation is a mission church full of love and they
practice that love by sharing in the benevolent program of missions and for over 30 years have sponsored an after school tutorial program open to students who need help with homework. Clerk of Session Julio Washington said that Presbytery of Western North Carolina records show that two elders, J.W. Crawford and C. S. Kibler, were in attendance
during 1885-1897 and that elder E. O. Webb had attended a meeting of the church’s ruling body in 1910. “Our church history goes back at least 100 years,’’ said the pastor who says Good Hope, with 20-25 members, is among the smallest churches (membership wise) in the area but one of the most active.
The new sanctuary was built in 1938 at 105 N. Cansler Street. Under the leadership of the late Rev. State Alexander (1976-2004) the congregation completed a major renovation. In 1978 paneled walls added to the beauty of the sanctuary and an upper level addition at the rear of the church was constructed for two classrooms and two

bathrooms. Spiral stairs lead down to the kitchen and dining room. A parking lot was added on the northern side of the church in 1979. Elder Moore, who succeeded the retiring Alexander in 2004, has also led major renovation projects and additions to the worship program. Renovations to the entrance of the church include relocation of the church office and construction of a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Additionally, kitchen repair is completed. In the sanctuary, lighting and a baptismal font are some of the new highlights. Moore is proud of the newly formed Adult choir, the addition of a youth elder and young people participating in worship services. Former mayor Scott Neisler, a member of First Presbyterian Church and associate member at Good Hope, leads the very popular children’s sermon on Sunday mornings. Regina Love also helps with the children’s church. Pastor Moore said Neisler has helped the congregation obtain music and equipment as well as air conditioning and cushions for the seats in the sanctuary. He also helps with a community picnic in the summer. Joint services with First Presbyterian Church at
11 a.m. on fifth Sundays are a worship highlight. A skit, “Black History,” will be presented on Feb. 24 at the 9 a.m. worship service. The church shares a loving relationship with sister churches in the area and Moore sees that love reaching out in the community with the tutorial program which is staffed by volunteers. Rev. A.W. Foster was minister in the early 1950’s. In the mid 1950’s Rev. P. L. Ross was moderator with ministers and student ministers including C. M. Young, Archie Alexander, and Wilbur Davis, H. L. Henigan, Eugene Randall, Leroy Horsley and others. Rev. P. L. Ross returned as moderator in July 1962, serving until March 1, 1976. For the last 10 years Elders Addie Grier and C.A. Allison have been attending Presbytery meetings. The church bulletins on Sundays point to the mission of the church “to move forward in unity and remain faithful and vital in winning souls for Christ as well as carrying out the mission of the Presbytery of Western North Carolina.” Good Hope services are at 9 a.m. on Sundays. The public is welcome.

KMMS girls edge Burns 32-31... Kings Mountain Middle School’s girls won their biggest game of the year so far Tuesday at home, coming from behind in the final seconds to defeat Burns 32-31 in a Tri-County Conference East Division game. The win improved the defending Tri-County champion Lady Patriots’ record to 5-0 in the division and 5-1 overall. The game was decided with onethird of a second remaining. Kings Mountain was ahead 32-30 when
Burns’ Paris Baker was fouled. Burns was in a bonus situation, getting two shots. Baker hit the first one but missed the second to end the game. Kings Mountain trailed most of the game until the final two minutes when LeeAsia Rhodes drove for a basket and a two-point lead, and then stole the inbound pass and scored again to put the Patriots up by four. Burns came right back with a steal of their own to cut the margin to two. A technical foul gave Burns two shots and
the ball and they were able to tie the score at 30. With eight seconds remaining, KM’s Jessica McClure got a putback off an offensive rebound to give the Lady Patriots a 32-30 lead and set the stage for Baker’s last-second free throw attempts to send the game into overtime. Rhodes led the KM ladies with 12 points. McClure added seven, Adams four, Chaya Hunter three and Erica Nelson two.
...but then lose to West Lincoln After an important victory over Burns last Tuesday, Kings Mountain Middle School’s girls dropped their first Tri-County East Division game of the season Thursday at West Lincoln, 38-27. Monty Deaton’s ladies jumped out front early and led 25-19 with just four minutes remaining. The game turned into a free throw shooting contest and
West Lincoln hit 17 of 30 while the Lady Patriots managed just 3 of 16. “It was a physical game and hard fought and the shots did not fall late in the game for us,� noted Coach Deaton. “We had many opportunities to pull away. Give West credit for not giving up and making some crucial baskets and free throws at the end of the game.� LeeAsia Rhodes led the KM offense
with nine points. Tamara Adams scored four, Erica Nelson four, Tatiyana Phillips two, Kelsey Farmer two, Virginia Dellinger two, Jessica McClure two and Chaya Hunter two. KM fell to 5-1 in the division and 52 overall. The Lady Patriots were slated to go to East Lincoln yesterday to play for first place in the division.

Students talk about how to help community
Doctor to speak Dr. John Billinsky will present the program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dealing with Chronic Illness,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Life Enrichment Center, 110 Life Enrichment Blvd, Shelby on Tuesday, Feb. 26, from 6-7:30 p.m. The meeting is free of charge and open to the public, anyone with a life-altering disease such as Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, stroke, accident, Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, etc., or the care partner whether spouse, parent, sibling, professional.
Ticket Out! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Science students in Margot Plonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9th grade class were assigned recently to research the question on â&#x20AC;&#x153;what kind of project would be good for the community?â&#x20AC;? The ideas were varied but these freshmen had some good thoughts about how to help the community and how to enlist the help of Kings Mountain area people. Taylor Davis wants to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big sisterâ&#x20AC;? to kids facing cancer treatments and her first step would be to get the name of a family to help. Then, she would plan a fundraiser to help the family with costs of transportation back and forth to the hospital.

Bethany Wilson said that teens could join the county potato project and offer to help plant and harvest potatoes and other homegrown food. She said one of the first steps would be to organize a fundraiser, car wash or bake sale, and start an organic crop, for instance, as an agriscience project. We all need to eat healthier, she said. Autumn Ellis says the city needs a greenhouse stocked with fruits and vegetables for the less fortunate. She said this idea is a perfect class project but it would require adult volunteers as well as the community support. She said it would be nice to have a greenhouse on the school grounds to replace

Trevor Alexander said a cool project would be a public bus that runs all over town for public transportation. He suggested that fees would be charged but noted that citizens would love parking their cars for a while and less cars on the roads would reduce emissions. He suggested that the class contact the mayor and city council with the idea. Amber Sellers and Layla Bolin said a class project can be helping the hungry and the environment and they like the idea of a community greenhouse. Annette Waters agrees that young people should get on the recycling bandwagon and volunteer to help in a clean-up campaign, picking up trash and helping those who are homebound with trash pickup.
