New school offices nearing completion Moving Day is just around the corner for some members of the Cleveland County Schools staff. The target completion date for the Central Services Facility part of the campus (the former Shelby Middle School) is March 4th after a certificate of occupancy is presented to Supt. Dr. Bruce Boyles, Director of Public Information
Donna Carpenter said those staffers remaining in the Administrative Center on S. Post Road will move in March and the Board of Education will meet in the renovated facility on March 25. Other staff from the Instructional Center on Patton Drive in Shelby and the Business Center on East Ridge Street (old Central
School) in Kings Mountain will move in months afterwards to the new Central Services Facility. Carpenter said it will probably be this summer before all staff is located in the renovated building. Kings Mountain’s old Central School will continue to house maintenance staff and the Parent Center after the other staff mem-
bers move to Shelby. The county school’s data center is now located in a building on the former Shelby Middle School campus and the technology staff, formerly located on South Post Road, and moved in January. The other half of the technology center will house the Office of School Readiness, now located at 124 S. Post

Carpenter said that plans are for the new facility to be ready for Turning Point students in August.

ELIZABETH STEWART The 15th annual Kings Mountain Cleveland Chamber Business Showcase will be held Tuesday, Feb. 19, beginning at 5: 30 p.m. at City Hall and the public is invited. Theme of the show is “The Business of Art� and exhibits from Kings Mountain businesses and Industries will reflect the theme. Ribbons will go to the winning exhibits, and there will be plenty of food, music, and door prizes. Exhibits will be judged on how well they are tied-into the theme. Thirty-five businesses will be showcased. Last year 2,000 visitors visited the exhibits during the four weeks they were on display. Highlight of the event will be presentation of the outstanding business or business person of the year. Last year’s winner was Ron Isbell, Publisher of the Kings Mountain Herald, Belmont Banner and Cherryville Eagle. The exhibits will be on display at City Hall until March 15. Presenting sponsors are First National Bank and Shelby Savings Bank. Sponsors are City of Kings Mountain, Kings Mountain Hospital, Premier Credit Union, Warlick & Hamrick Insurance, and Kings Mountain Herald.

Relay - shorter hours, new events for 2013 Kings Mountain’s 16th annual Relay for Life on May 3 may feature fireworks and won’t be an all-night event at the KM Walking Track. It will run from 5 p.m. until midnight. Co-Chairs Frank Burns and Tammy White told team captains Monday night they hope the shorter relay will attract more people. Cancer survivors will walk the first lap around the track at 6 p.m. followed by a number of fun events including a tricycle race, a womanless beauty pageant, and luminaries at 9 p.m. Theme of the relay is “$100,000 for 100 years’’ an appropriate theme since the year 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the American Cancer Society. Relay monies raised go for research into cancer and to help patients needing transportation to medical facilities and other needs. Less than 10% of the funds are earmarked for administrative costs.

Four years ago the young couple used physical exercise as a way to cope with the diagnosis of their daughter. Both had run track in high school but took up running seriously. “Running became a great stress reliever but it turned into something much more special as well,’’ said Haley, the daughter of Krista and David Smith of Kings Mountain.

The city staff treated the Scouts to a pizza party afterwards at the Senior center. Mayor Rick Murphrey sent the Scouts to their assignments with a message: “This is a lesson in government and we are always glad to welcome you.� The mayor recounted some of the history of Kings Mountain, noting how diversification has changed the workplace in the city from the textile plants of years ago.

Gateway Trail receives $140K grant Two more miles of Kings Mountain’s Gateway Trail will be extended thanks to a $140,550 grant announced Tuesday by The Carolina Thread Trail governing board. Grant money will be used to fund the design and construction drawings for the extension as well as construction of the 2-mile segment of gravel trail. Once this extension is complete, the portion of the trail that is part of the Carolina Thread Trail will be approximately five miles long. This phase will include upgrades to an existing vehicle bridge over I-85 that was once used buy Chemetall Foote, now Rockwood Lithium, which donated land for the community
project. Thread Trail Communications Director Carmen Bray said “This presents an incredible opportunity for the trail to utilize an existing bridge that is no longer open to vehicles’’ With future phases, the Gateway Trail will eventually connect to Crowders Mountain State P ark, where users can then connect to Kings Mountain State Park and the Kings Mountain National Military Park. This grant is awarded as part of The Thread’s quarterly implementation award Gateway Trail past President Shirley Brutko said of the award, “The Kings Mountain Gateway Trail’s project is absolutely awesome and is still moving forward
thanks to this generous grant. This will give us approximately 7 total miles of trail when finished. A great big thank you to this 15county initiative for seeing that we are a worthy cause. I am thrilled to be part of this project.� Awards from The Thread help communities build trails that will add to the 113 miles of trails that are currently open to the public throughout The Threads 15county region. Cleveland County has adopted a countywide greenway master plan, making the county, cities and towns within Cleveland County eligible for grant funding from The Thread. In 2012 Gateway Trail on S.

Hubbards woodworking art on display at SASI BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com
Ben Hubbard, Woodworker, moved to Kings Mountain from southern Indiana six years ago after spending more than 34 years working for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Hubbard is displaying and selling some of his pieces at the Southern Arts Society, located at the old depot on Piedmont Avenue in Kings Mountain, through the month of February. The Arts Society is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 – 4. During his career in natural resources and historic preservation his woodworking efforts were both a hobby and a secondary business. Ben first started building furniture when he married his wife, Cathy over 43 years ago. He quickly realized that getting married and finding a home didn’t leave much left over to purchase furniture. The first piece he built was a trestle dining table “because we had to have a place to eat,” he grinned. From there, he just started building whatever furniture he needed. Although Hubbard utilized some of his carpentry skills learned from his carpenter father, much of his woodworking is self-taught. He is a professional forester by education (Purdue University) as well as the son of a carpenter, both of which help to explain his life-long love affair with

As an artisan, Ben designs and creates both traditional and contemporary furniture, wooden boxes, cases and signs. Ben started out copying traditional pieces that he liked. As he gets older he likes original ideas. Hubbard said that he can’t draw designs, but he looks at a piece of wood and visualizes how something would look made from the wood. Ben seldom has to throw any of his creations away. He describes himself as frugal, not cheap. If he starts on a piece, and it doesn’t turn out like he had hoped, he will dismantle it and build something else out of it. Then if he still can’t use some of the wood, he will throw it away. . Besides building remarkable pieces of art, Ben enjoys restoring old houses. He will work on one at a time, doing all the restorations himself. When he finishes with a house, he will sell it, and begin renovating another one (Ben calls this flipping houses). Because of the amount of space needed to work on wood, Ben has a shop on Oak Grove Road in Kings Mountain. It isn’t a retail shop because “retail tends to tie you down,” he said. “This way you know who is to A Service of

blame if you mess up, and who gets the credit for a job well-done.” Hubbard and his wife, Cathy, moved to this area when she was transferred to Belmont with the National Gypsum Co. in Belmont. They started out in the Belmont area and slowly moved west, looking for just the right place to make a new home. When they got to Moss Lake, they realized it was the perfect location for them. They have two grown children, a daughter in Greenville, SC, and a son in Aberdeen, MD. Ben and Cathy go to Resurrection Lutheran Church, where Cathy is a fill-in organist. His woodwork has appeared in a number of small artisan shows and galleries in southern Indiana and was also included in the book “Woven Hills and Quilted Rocks, Folk Artists in Martin County Indiana.” Ben quickly got involved with the Southern Arts Society after moving to this area. He hopes that the citizens of Kings Mountain realize how remarkably fortunate they are to have the Southern Arts Society. The building, owned by the City of Kings Mountain, is large enough to house several exhibits at one time, and can display large art pieces which many other galleries cannot display due to their small buildings. Hubbard said that the gallery is a real benefit to the community. They have an entire calendar of events and classes which go on throughout the year. He encourages everyone in Kings Mountain to utilize and support the Southern Arts Society.

Sarah Miller sang a stirring rendition of Amazing Grace a capella at the Senior Center’s Black History program.
Trust God to keep the dream alive One God, One Dream, One Faith – A Program of Trusting God to keep the Dream Alive – was the theme for last week’s Black History program at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life and Conference Center. “I am proud to be a Black American and the opportunities afforded me,’’ said the Rev. Billy Houze, pastor of Lawndale First Baptist Church for 33 years. Comparing unity to a symphony, he said the warming up noise is atrocious but as soon as the conductor raises his baton here comes the sweetest music you’ve ever heard. This working together is called synergy. Extending greetings, Mayor Rick Murphrey pointed out that this is a special time in our Nation’s history when all Americans need to come together in prayer as we thank the Lord for our many blessings. ‘’ We have the opportunity for a new beginning and to rededicate our faith and commitment to Christ as Kings Mountain continues to move progressively forward,’’ he said. “Love sees no color‌we must remember there is only one place love is stored on earth in the hearts of each person,â€? The world does not
need more love‌only for us to be more loving,’’ Murphrey added. Sarah Miller sang a stirring rendition of “Amazing Grace.â€? Erma Lockhart then introduced the speaker. Houze gave a brief history of his career, starting with his graduation from high school and his desire to go to college. He was told he was not college material, and was determined to prove differently. Houze has since attended, Gaston College, Gardner-Webb University, Shaw University, and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has five children and eight grandchildren. Senior Center Director Monty Thornburg pointed out that 2013 is a special year for two reasons, it marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. He ended the program noting that “at the crossroads is equality.â€? Thornburg thanked all the volunteers who have assisted at the Patrick Center and said they have now exceeded 10,000 hours of volunteering. Following the program, refreshments were provided by volunteers.

Summit Place completes $50,000 renovation ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
Summit Place, the 65-bed Kings Mountain Assisted Living facility, celebrated Friday renovation totaling more than $50,000 which created more space for programs for Memory Care and Bridge for Rediscovery among other programs. “This is an exceptional place to live,’’ said Executive Director Tabrina Watford, who joined the staff eight months ago. Watford showed visitors on a tour of the 20-bed Memory Care unit which includes a number of new features. A new spa is a favorite place for residents and residents find enjoyment in activity and life skills rooms where they play checkers, enjoy baby dolls, even sort out the clothes and learn and remember about the normal part of life’s daily routines. There’s even a clothesline to hang the baby clothes on and a garden in the courtyard. “We try to give our residents in the Memory Care unit activities they once enjoyed, keeping them busy,’’ said Watford. There’s an oldfashioned Victrola, a television, comfortable chairs, a theatre room where pictures of movie stars, including Marilyn Monroe pictures, are on the walls. Other conversation pieces are their furry

Mayor Rick Murphrey, who brought greetings from the city, congratulated Summit Place. “This is a caring environment where residents are close to home and it’s important they maintain independence.� He added, “Summit Place has made continuous improvement and the upgrades you are showing us today gives such a quality of life for seniors.�
Kristina McNeill, Marketing director, said Summit Place is winner of the Assisted Living Federation of America’s “Best of the Best� award, the Bridge to Rediscovery. Bridge to Rediscovery celebrates the spirit within each resident through personalized activities that encourage creativity and self-expression. Summit Place staff works with each resident individually, striving for small successes each day that help to create a sense of
accomplishment. “We help residents discover what their contribution can be today, with the strengths and abilities they have now. If a resident loves to garden, he or she can plant vegetables and flowers in the courtyard or grow an indoor plant. If someone was a teacher, she might teach a new game to a fellow resident. In some cases, residents may even be able to relearn a portion of the skills they have lost, by simple activities and that are the goals, say officials.

Beach Bingo is the Friday night entertainment at Otis D. Green Post 155, American Legion. Vickie Looper of Lake Wylie, SC is conducting the bingo games and wants to get the word out since it has been months since the American Legion has sponsored bingo games on Fridays. “We start playing at 5:30 p.m. and the public is invited,’’ says Looper.

Opinions...
“ Lib Stewart
Yours, Ours, Others
Quote of the week... A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady. Everything is wonderful Shades of Grandpa’s Day!
Managing Editor
Over a year now I have been expressing opinions, mainly about political Beauford Burton issues, in letters Guest Editorial to the editors of several local newspapers. Some of you have seen those opinions as being only negative. Just recently I was challenged by a friend to try and write something positive about our government and our representatives, including our President. The person said if I tried to see the good I would come away much happier. After thinking about that for awhile I decided to try it, so here goes. Our President has a unique gift for expressing his views and desires
and making many believe he represents our best interests. Our vice-President has a wide smile. Our senate majority leader hasn’t worn himself out being concerned about budgets so everything must be okay. Our secretary of state asks why what happened in the past really matters, and clearly looks forward to retirement and a run for the presidency in 2016. So, everything must be okay. Our secretary of defense is considering giving benefits to gay partners in the military before his official retirement, while considering cutting military pay to stay within budget. Isn’t that wonderful?
� Thomas Moore
Our democratic controlled government is making an all out effort to keep us safe by taking guns from honest citizens. Our government will give us all a free cell phone, free transportation and free healthcare if we agree not to work. Our gasoline prices are much lower than some other countries. Our unemployment rate has remained steady at 7.9%. Our government has found enough excess money to give F-16s and tanks to our newest best friends the muslim brotherhood of Egypt. I could go on and on but I am getting delirious with all the new happiness I’ve felt from pointing out the positives. I now feel like an Alfred E. Neuman understudy.
‘’Moore’’ News from Raleigh Stephanie Walsh and Sharon Stack with their book ‘Kings Mountain’. You’ll love some of the vintage pictures from “the way we were� in “Kings Mountain,’’ a first book by new authors Sharon Stack and Stephanie Walsh. The authors signed their 128-page softcover pictorial history of more than 200 vintage images at a book signing Tuesday night at KM Historical Museum. Sharon Stack, Mauney Library Director, and Stephanie Walsh, Historical Museum Director, wanted to help raise funds for both of these landmark organizations. What better way to do that, they said, than to compile pictures that looks back over 100 years of the city’s residents as they worked, studied, worshiped, played and celebrated their heritage. New to Arcadia Publishing’s popular “Image of America� series is “Kings Mountain� and the 128 page softcover book became available from Arcadia Monday at local retailers, online bookstores or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com 888-313-2665. The book is also available at Mauney Memorial Library and KM Historical Museum for $21.95 and makes a perfect gift for anyone. The profits from the sales at the library and museum will go for projects at both places. Stack believes in the power of public libraries to make a difference in the communities she serves. She says local history and genealogical collections is an important cornerstone of a community’s library and the opportunity to
share photographs and historical information with Kings Mountain residents through the book’s publication is a dream comes true. Stack credits the partnership and collaboration with the Kings Mountain Museum as proof that in small communities work is achieved better together. She hopes the documenting of the fabric of Kings Mountain through photographs and stories will be appreciated by its citizens and will validate the spirit of the community. Throughout her career, Walsh has enjoyed working closely with both the community at large and academic colleagues to share our American History. Neither Stack nor Walsh is a native of this area. Both love calling Kings Mountain home.
This week has been an eventful one at the North Carolina General Assembly. On Rep. Tim Moore Feb. 6 we honored the 50th anniversary of the State Legislative Building built in January 1963 and the first session convened Feb.6, 1963. North Carolina is the only state with a legislative building. All other legislative bodies of other states typically meet in the State Capitol along with the executive branch. This makes the anniversary all the more special and I am proud and honored to serve in such an extraordinary legislative body. Governor Pat McCrory and other past legislators joined us for a small celebration with cake following the session Aside from ceremonial events this past week and last week has been very important in regard to policy. Some of North Carolina’s most vulnerable citizens living in group homes were in danger of losing their Medicaid covered personal care services as former Governor Beverly Perdue’s executive order is set to expire. On Jan. 31, the House passed House Bill 5
which provides a short term solution to the problem by ordering that $39.7 million funds from the Department of Health and Human Services be utilized for the Group Home payments. The bill was sponsored by Rep Nelson Dollar and Rep. Justin Burr and passed unanimously, then referred to the Senate Committee on Appropriations which swift action was necessary to ensure that these citizens are protected, although a long term solution is still in demand. Unemployment Insurance Reform was also discussed at length. We owe $2.4 million to the federal government for unemployment benefits .Before economic times our insurance funds were depleted by the policies of past General Assemblies, leaving a miniscule amount of reserves. Over the past couple years, with an increase in unemployment claims, the state had to borrow from the federal government to help the citizens of North Carolina. House Bill 4, sponsored by Representatives Julia Howard, Harry Warren. Edgar Starnes, and Mitchell Setzer, offers an economically sound solution to pay off the debt by 2016. A billion dollar re-
serve will also be accumulated so that North Carolina will not once again find itself in a position to borrow from the federal government. This legislation also advocates for economic growth by promoting job creation through lowering taxes on small business in the long term. The bill was passed by the House Feb. 5. Under my proposed bill, House Bill 25, more harsh punishment would be ensured for those who commit a breaking and entering regardless of their motive. Under the current law, someone could break into a home, beat another person up and walk away with only two misdemeanors. This is a common sense bill which will be seen on the floor of the House soon. As Chairman of Rules, Calendar and Operations of the House, I presented the permanent rules that were adopted Feb. 7. I always work to produce the best set of rules to make for an effective and efficient session. I, again, want to thank you for the honor and privilege of serving as your Representative. I look forward to hearing from you. www.ncleg.net

MEDITATION
God gave us a new beginning A plastic surgeon reports that one day a woman came to see him about her husband. She told the doctor that her husband had been injured while attempting to save his parents from a burning house. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get to them and they both died in the fire. But despite this result, the woman said that her husband’s face was burned and disfigured because he went into the fire in the effort. Because of the horrible disfigurement, the woman’s husband had given up on life
■
and gone into hiding. He wouldn’t let anyone see him, not even his wife. Upon hearing the woman’s story, the doctor responded by telling her that the great advances that had been made in plastic surgery in recent years made it possible for him to be able to restore her husband’s face, and he was willing to try. She then explained that he wouldn’t let anyone help him because he believed God had disfigured his face to punish him for not saving his parents and this surprised the doctor and he
asked why then she had come. It was then that the woman presented her shocking request. “This is what I want you to do,” she said. “I want you to disfigure my face so I can be like him! Perhaps if I can share in his pain, he will let me back into his life. I love him so much, and I want to be with him, and if this is what it is going to take then this is what I am willing to do. Although the doctor would not agree to her request, he was deeply moved by what this woman
was willing to do, and he asked for her for permission to talk to her husband. The doctor then went to the man’s room and knocked on the door. There was no answer, so the doctor called out: “I know you’re in there, and I know you can hear me, so I’ve come to tell you that I am a plastic surgeon and I can restore your face. There was no response. Again, he called out, but still there was no response. The doctor then decided that he would try to get the man to respond by telling him what his wife
had asked him to do. “She wants me to make her face like yours in the hope that you will let her back into your life. That’s how much she loves you.” There was a brief moment of silence, and then ever so slowly, the doorknob began to turn. The disfigured man then came out of hiding, and he did so because his wife’s love had given him a new beginning. This is what God did for us through the Incarnation – the coming of God into human life. Because He loved us so much, He sent

LOCKHARTS: after 53 years of marriage believe love can overcome all obstacles From page 1A either!� This was enough to make them realize that the love they had for each other was enough to overcome any problems they might have. Eddie grew up in the Mt. Sinai area south of Shelby, and Erma grew up in Kannapolis. So how did the farm boy from Mt. Sinai end up in Kannapolis? “I got tired of working on the farm and my brother and cousin had told me about a construction company in Kannapolis where we could all three get a job. That was all it took for me to pack my bags and hit the road,� said Eddie. When the three boys arrived in Kannapolis, in 1958,
they rented a house across the street from Erma’s family. The guys would have to go to Erma’s house to get water because they didn’t have a well at their house. Eddie would see Erma peeking at him through the window. They have been teased that Eddie met his “woman at the well.� They dated for a couple of years, but would sometimes go as much as two weeks without seeing each other. Eddie’s cousin told Eddie that he wanted to date Erma. “Go ahead if you want to,� Eddie told him (knowing she wouldn’t date his cousin!) Early one summer, Erma was going to New Jersey to visit her sister and babysit while her sister worked. Her mother asked Eddie to drive
Erma to Salisbury to the bus station. As Eddie was walking away from the bus, he saw Erma pointing him out to the man seated beside her. She later told him that she had told the man that Eddie was her husband, hoping that would keep the stranger from “hitting� on her. At the end of the summer, Eddie went back to pick Erma up at the bus station with her mother. Out of the blue, Eddie asked Erma to marry him. Did he have to ask her parents’ permission? “No, because we eloped,� Eddie grinned. They went to Eddie’s church in Blacksburg and asked a deacon to lend them enough money to get married in Gaffney. They still re-

member Judge W.R. Douglas marrying them, and they later paid the deacon back the money which they had borrowed. Back in Kannapolis, no one knew about the marriage, and they each stayed in their own homes for a few days. Erma had hidden the marriage certificate under the piano lid and her cousin found it and told her mother. After “Mama� found out about the marriage, Eddie moved in for about three weeks then he and Erma moved to another house about a block away. After moving several times, always near “Mama� they moved to Kings Mountain in 1973, and lived at #65 Pine Manor, which was a brand new apartment. On May 5, 1976, Eddie and Erma moved to their new home they had built off Long Branch Road in Grover, where they still live today. After Eddie worked for Daniels Construction and Erma worked for Fiber Industries for a while, they were both hired by the Kings Mountain School System. Eddie went to work at Grover School March 9, 1975, one week after being hired by the school system. Erma started in the lunchroom at the high school, but
like Eddie, ended up at Grover. Eddie retired in December 1999, but worked until school was out in June 2000. He has been off and on with the school system ever since. He is currently a crossing guard at the middle school. Erma retired from Grover School in 2002 after working for 27 years, first in the cafeteria, then as a first grade teacher’s assistant. Eddie is a frequent visitor to Grover Elementary, where he is loved and teased by the staff, as well as teasing with them. He has been known to say that if his dinner isn’t ready when he gets home, he is going to pack Erma’s bags. The staff is quick to tell him that his bags will be the ones packed if he doesn’t get on home! Eddie and Erma have one son, William Lamont, and have raised Orlando Williams as their own since he was eight weeks old. When people used to ask if Orlando was Eddie’s grandson, Eddie would explain that he was his foster son‌until one day at McDonalds when someone asked the question, which Eddie answered, and little Orlando, about five at the time said “I’m not your foster son because foster means ‘not real.’ Lamont is your

Proceeds from the raffle will go to help the Theatre Department raise money for its trip to Kentucky to represent North Carolina at the Southeastern Theatre Conference High School Theatre Festival. ‘’Beauty and the Beast’’ is one of Disney’s most endearing musicals. It was a hit on the Broadway stage and paved the way for all the Disney musicals that came after. Following the story of Disney’s classic move, this is a timeless tale of a cursed man who must learn to love and a lost girl who seeks her place in the world. Through their meeting and relationship, they find challenges they never expected to face and hope they forgot could exist. With lyrics by Tim Rice
and Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken and the book by Linda Woolverton, the show ran on Broadway for more than 13 years, over 5,000 performances, and was nominated for 9 Tony Awards. ‘’Kings Mountain High School once again proves its incredible wealth of talent with its production of this challenging show,’’ said Theatre Director Dan Treharne. The Performing Arts Department brings together proven talent and promising new performers for a show that everyone is sure to love. Kelton Stone, best remembered as Red Riding Hood in the KMHS production of Into the Woods, returns to a lead role as the show’s leading lady, Belle. Stone expertly captures the innocent strength that confuses her peers and wins over the Beast. Playing the gruff but hopeful Beast is Alan Williams, a favorite as the Tinman in last year’s The Wiz. His honest portrayal of this tortured soul truly makes you understand both the fear the villagers feel and the affection Belle discovers. Along with Williams, several other favorites from last year’s musical are returning to the stage for Beauty and the Beast. Joining him are Justin Chapman and Josh Webb, who played the all-powerful Wiz and the silly, soulful Scarecrow. Fresh off an award winning performance at the State High School Play Festival, Chapman is delightfully horrible as Gaston, the man whose greatest love is his reflection in the mirror. Webb brings the energized goofiness of the Scarecrow to the quirky, but endearing Lumiere and makes a character that is truly memorable. New to the stage is Kasey Church, playing Lumiere’s grumpy, but well-meaning friend, Cogsworth. Approaching the part with an honesty that is refreshing, Church is sure to impress everyone with his performance. With an ensemble that matches the leads for energy and talent, Beauty and the Beast is sure to keep you smiling long after the curtain closes.

Laura, Haley and Will Buchanen From page 1A energy into raising funds for the Joubert Syndrome & Related Disorders Foundation and to raise awareness of the disease. They have raised thousands of dollars for the small non-profit JSRDF using chili and bake sales, raffles and tee shirts. The Inaugural race to raise awareness for, research and education (R. A. R. E.) will be held at George Poston Park in Lowell beginning at 9 a.m. Coinciding with World Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28, this will be the first race of this kind for Joubert Syndrome, joining other efforts around the world to raise awareness for rare diseases as a whole. It will also be the inaugural race at Poston Park in Gaston County. Situated on the edge of 1, 250 feet Spencer Mountain, Poston Park trail offers challenges for all levels of runners. Register in advance online at www.raceforrare.com or in person until 8 a.m. race day. Fee is $30 for the 5K and $40 for the 10 mile race. Rare diseases are ironically not so rare, says Laura. There are 7,000 known rare diseases affecting nearly 30 million people in the U. S. or 1 in 10 Americans and 50% of those affected are children. She said that rare diseases are often under researched, underfunded and unrecognized by insurance companies leaving children without proper treatment or therapies. She said policy development is urgently needed to help promote education and treatment of rare
diseases. Laura said that her baby could not crawl or even get up on all fours at age 12 months. After an MRI, radiologists recognized the disease but most doctors had never heard of it. Laura graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 1996 and Will from McDowell High in 1995. The couple met after college and was married 10 years ago. They lived in Columbia, SC for a few years before returning to Dallas in 2004. Will works as a branch manager at South Central Pool Supply in Charlotte. Laura is a part time home health nurse and is attending graduate school at the University of Missouri to become a doctoral prepared pediatric nurse practitioner. Will and Laura both ran cross country in high school and he also ran track. As adults they both ran off and on until creating Jog for Joubert Syndrome (J4JS). They appreciate the numerous sponsors and corporate sponsors for the upcoming race, including Warlick & Hamrick Insurance of Kings Mountain. Haley enjoys watching the races and cheering for the runners. The Buchanans are confident that Haley will one day be running beside them. (To donate to J4JS email raceforrare@yahoo.com.

Jonathan Clark signs a national letter of intent to play football at Limestone College in Gaffney, SC. He is seated with his younger brother Titus Clark, mother Shawn Clark and father Sean Clark. Standing, left to right, are KMHS principal Ronny Funderburke, head football coach Greg Lloyd and athletic director Dustin Morehead.
KM’s Clark to play football at Limestone When the Limestone College Saints march into their inaugural football season in the fall of 2014 Kings Mountain’s Jonathan Clark will be right there with them. Clark signed a national letter of intent Wednesday to become a part of Limestone ‘s first football team. The Saints recently selected Bobby James, former defensive coordinator at Wingate University, to launch the school’s football program. The first class of recruits will all be red-shirted next fall as they practice for their inaugural season in 2014. Clark, who is Kings Mountain’s all-time leading passer, is one of four quarterbacks signed by the Gaffney, SC school. The Saints’ first recruiting class also includes three players from Gastonia Ashbrook and one from Highland Tech. Clark said he sees Limestone as a great fit for him. “It’s a good opportunity to get to play as a freshman,” he said. “I visited the campus and really liked it. I felt right at home there.” Coach James plans to run a pistol offense, which should be a good fit for Clark who starred in Greg Lloyd’s spread offense his junior and senior years when he passed for over 4,000 yards. “The pistol offense fits me good,” Clark said. “Getting to start as a freshman is likely if I go in and win the job through hard work and practice.” Clark said he doesn’t plan to wait until the fall to start that work. As soon as the current KMHS wrestling season ends he plans to hit the weight room hard and get ready for the next level of play. He feels like playing for Kings Mountain under Coach Lloyd has prepared him to be a college quarterback.
“Playing at Kings Mountain was a really great experience,” he said. “I gained a lot. My character grew from my freshman year through senior year. I played with a lot of good guys and good coaches. Kings Mountain is a great atmosphere for football.” Coach Lloyd has no doubt that Clark can play a lot of football on the collegiate level. “He is very strong fundamentally,” Lloyd said. “He has always had good technique. He’s not the fastest guy and not the tallest, but has a lot of intangibles that make him very good. He is accurate and he is smart. He’s good in the clutch and he’s a good leader. He has plenty of the qualities you look for in a quarterback. “He’s going into a great situation,” Lloyd added. “Being in the first class of recruits he will be red-shirted this fall and will have five more years to play football. The ceiling is very high for him. Based on his work ethic he will be an outstanding quarterback.” Coming into high school, Clark said he set a lot of goals for himself but really had no idea he could become the school’s alltime leading passer. To his and his coaches’ credit, he basically got his 4,000 plus yards in just two seasons. He was the JV quarterback his freshman and sophomore years. “I set goals but it’s not something that I expected,” he said. “You just have to work hard to make it happen. All of my coaches, teammates and the camps I went to was the reason for it.” Clark plans to study pre-dental at Limestone and become an orthodontist. “I just want to thank my friends and family, teammates and coaches for all they support they’ve given me all along the way,” he said. “They supported me a hundred percent.”
KM Lady Mountaineers fall to Ashbrook, North Gaston
Kings Mountain’s Monique Petty is hammered as she goes up for a short jumper in Friday game with North Gaston.
Kings Mountain’s girls lost to Ashbrook and North Gaston last week in Big South 3A Conference games at KM’s Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The Lady Mountaineers were scheduled to go to Crest last night. They will face Forestview in their regular season finale Friday night at home and will compete in the BSC tournament next week. The KM ladies couldn’t hang with the talented Green Wave Tuesday and dropped a 61-22 decision. KM fell behind 16-8 in the first quarter and then scored only three
points in the second quarter as Ashbrook built a 29-11 halftime lead. KM outscored the Green Wave 6-4 in the third quarter but was outscored 28-5 in the final eight minutes. “We did a great defensive job on their leading scorer (Wallace, who managed only four points),” said KM coach Mike Harris. “Unfortunately for us their other two guards shot a very high percentage from the floor. Ashbrook is a tough match-up for us; their defensive pressure doesn’t allow us to get easy looks at See KM Ladies, 2B
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers defeated North Gaston 80-70 Friday night at Parker Gym to keep their post-season hopes alive. The win boosted the team’s record to 4-6 in the Big South 3A and 8-13 overall heading into the final week of the regular season. The Mountaineers were scheduled to go to third place Crest (6-4, 10-8) last night and will host Forestview in their final regular season game Friday. Forestview and KM are tied for the fourth and final BSC post-season berth. Since the Mountaineers have already lost to Forestview once this year, they must beat the Jaguars Friday night and may also have to beat Crest to gain the playoff seed. Balanced scoring was the key for the Mountaineers in Friday’s victory. James Tillman led the way with 19 points and also grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds and blocked four shots. Chad Sanders and Cameron Bullock scored 15 points apiece and Josh Sherer had 12. Bullock also grabbed six rebounds. Daquan Mintz and Deon
McCray scored 23 and 20 points, respectively, for the Wildcats. The Mountaineers lost to co-leader Ashbrook 75-43 Friday night at Parker Gym. Ashbrook is presently tied with arch rival Hunter Huss for first place and, barring upsets last night, the two Gastonia schools will settle the conference championship Friday night at Ashbrook. Ashbrook broke a 14-14 tie by outscoring the Mountaineers 20-8 in the second period. A 23-9 scoring advantage in the third quarter turned the game into a rout. Delshon Leach led the Green Wave with 24 points. Chad Sanders and Solomon Hawkins scored 12 each for the Mountaineers, and James Tillman added eight points and 14 rebounds. KM (43) - Cole 2, McClain 6, Sellers 3, Sanders 12, Tillman 8, Hawkins 12. AB (75)- Leach 24, Rodriguez 6, Dellinger 2, Blalock 10, Stafford 14, Mitchell 8, Givens 3, Bess 8.

KMMS girls regain first place Kings Mountain Middle School’s girls won two games last week to regain sole possession of first place in the Tri-County East Division. Heading into the final two games of the regular season, the Lady Patriots will be the top division seed for the upcoming state playoffs unless they lose both games and East Lincoln wins both of theirs. At present, the Lady Patriots are 7-1 in the division and East Lincoln is 6-2 with both losses to Kings
Mountain. KM was scheduled to host North Lincoln yesterday and will travel to Burns Thursday. “Unbelievable!,� Coach Monty Deaton said to the Lady Patriots’ 40-35 victory over East Lincoln last Tuesday. East Lincoln almost led from start to finish but Kings Mountain came from 11 points down in the second half to tie the game at 33-all and send it into overtime. Kings Mountain trailed 9-4 after the first period and 18-9 at half-
time. East still led 28-20 going into the fourth quarter. LeeAsia Rhodes scored on an inbounds play with eight seconds left to send the game into overtime. The Lady Patriots went on to build a five-point lead as Rhodes scored five of KM’s seven overtime points. Rhodes finished with 16 points to lead the KM attack. Jessica McClure added nine, Erica Nelson seven, Tamara Adams four and Gretchen Boyles three.
Kings Mountain continued its offensive fireworks Thursday at home with a 50-8 rout of Lincolnton. KM led 22-2 after the first quarter and 43-2 at halftime. “The shots were falling and the defense was tenacious,� Deaton noted. Chaya Hunter scored six of her seven points to spark the Patriots’ fast start. Rhodes scored six of her 10 leading points in the second period as the Patriots scored 21 more points and held Lincolnton scoreless. Tamara Adams scored seven
points, Kayla Capps six, Marr five, Kelsey Farmer four, Danielle Ellis four and Tatiyana Phillips two. “From the three minute mark of the second quarter we played our backups the rest of the game,� Deaton noted. “This win assured us of a playoff game coming up the week of the 18th. We are the number one seed and will stay that way unless East Lincoln wins out and we lose our final two games. Burns and East Lincoln are fighting for the other playoff spot and will play Tuesday.�

Friday against North Gaston, the KM ladies broke out to a 15-11 first quarter lead but several players, including KM’s tallest players, Petty and Alecia Wade, got into early foul trouble and had to spend a lot of time on the bench. North went on to win 70-52. The Lady Wildcats assumed command in the second period and built a 33-21 halftime lead. They led 5335 going into the fourth quarter. Polk led the Lady Wildcats with 22 points and Cloninger added 18. Petty led KM with 22 points and 13 rebounds. “Since we had the luxury of having a deep bench with no JV game, we worked the majority of the game in man
to man defense for the first time this year,� Harris noted. “It gave us a good chance to get a lot of different combinations of players on the floor, including some of our JV girls.

Do you need to file income tax this year? Dear Savvy Senior, My income dropped way off when I retired early last year, and I’m wondering if I fall into the so called “47 percent” of Americans who won’t have to pay and income taxes this year. What can you tell me? Curious Senior Dear Curious, The percentage of seniors, age 65 and older, who won’t have to pay income taxes this year, is actually around 56 percent according the Tax Policy Center. Here’s a breakdown of the 2012 filing requirements along with a few other tax tips to help you determine if you need to file. IRS Requirements Whether or not you’ll need to file a federal income tax return this year will depend on your filing status, your age, and your gross income. If your gross income falls below the IRS filing limits, you probably won’t have to file. Gross income includes all the income you receive that is not
exempt from tax, not including Social Security benefits, unless you are married and filing separately. You probably don’t have to file this year if: • You are single and your 2012 gross income was less than $9,750 ($11,200 if you’re 65 or older). • You are married filing jointly and your gross income was under $19,500. If you or your spouse is 65 or older, the limit increases to $20,650. And if you're both over 65, your income must be under $21,800 to not file. • You are head of household and your gross income was below $12,500 ($13,950 if age 65 or older). • You are married filing separately and your income was less than $3,800. • You are a qualifying widow(er) with a dependent child and your gross income was less than $15,700 ($16,850 if age 65 or older). Special Situations Be aware that there are some special financial situations that require

you to file a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS filing requirement. For example, if you had net earnings from self-employment in 2012 of $400 or more, or if you owe any special taxes to the IRS such as alternative minimum tax or IRA tax penalties, you’ll probably need to file. To figure this out, the IRS offers a resource on their website called “Do I Need to File a Tax Return?” that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to file, or if you should file because you’re due a refund. You can access this page at www.irs.gov/uac/Do-I-Need-to-Filea-Tax-Return%3F, or you can get help over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. Check Your State Even if you’re not required to file a federal tax return this year, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re also excused from filing state income taxes. Check on that with your state tax

agency before concluding you’re entirely in the clear. For links to state and local tax agencies see taxadmin.org – click on “Links.” Tax Aide If you do need to file a tax return this year, you can get help through the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE) program. Sponsored by the IRS, TEC provides free tax preparation and counseling to middle and low income taxpayers, age 60 and older. Call 800-906-9887 to locate a service near you. Also check with AARP, a participant in the TCE program that provides free tax preparation at nearly 6,000 sites nationwide. To locate an AARP Tax-Aide site call 888-2277669 or visit aarp.org/findtaxhelp. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Planetarium visits KM High Last Tuesday, ninth graders in Mrs. Margot Plonk’s science class had the opportunity to visit Morehead Planetarium without ever leaving the school! The mobile planetarium, which is based out of Chapel Hill’s Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, started touring five years ago, mostly in elementary schools. They have now expanded to include middle schools and high schools. Addie Jo Schonewolf, a full-time employee with the Morehead Planetarium, explained the program to the students and answered any questions they might have. Mrs. Plonk’s Marathon training partner, Bruce Putnam, encouraged her to apply for a PPG Education grant which paid for eight shows for Kings Mountain High School students.
