Legislators, business leaders address state, local concerns If Voter ID is approved it would not be implemented before 2014, Rep. Tim Moore (R-Cleveland 111th district NC House) said Friday morning at a Cleveland Chamber-sponsored breakfast at LeGrand Center in Shelby attended by local and county leaders. Moore joined Rep. Kelly Hastings (R-Cleveland/Gaston 110th district) and N. C. Senator Warren Daniel, R- Cleveland/Burke 46 district) in addressing some local and state concerns of area government and business leaders. Attending the breakfast were KM Mayor Rick Murphrey and councilmen Dean Spears, Rick Moore, Tommy Hawkins, and Keith Miller. Highway funding was one of the major concerns that Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony brought to the table. “We have 120 miles of highway to maintain in Shelby,� said Anthony. He noted the recent economic-development industrial announcement by KSM Castings, saying the visitors from Germany noticed needed road repairs as they traveled in the county recently. Responding to a question about the progress on the US 74 Bypass of Shelby, Hastings said the Shelby bypass will be completed in 2030 and the bypass is being constructed in phases.

Moore, rules chairman and also cochairman of the elections committee in the N.C. House, responded to questions of Debra Blanton, Director of the County Board of Elections. He said because of low turnout a second primary is extremely expensive and his committee is looking at shortening early voting and also to remedy the problem of military ballots coming in after deadline. Reforming their state’s tax system is also a priority of the N.C.House, he said. He added that legislation is aimed at reducing the tax burden on businesses in the hope they will create jobs. “We have asked the Secretary of the Department of Human Relations to streamline the agency spending but the ball is now in the Senate for discussion,� said Moore, also responding to health care funding which he said the House had passed a bill on regulations. Sen. Daniel noted that some of the questions being asked are issues that must be answered by the federal government. He said the current gas tax system won’t meet the needs of the transportation system and said the legislature is looking at fracking to supplement dollars.

Keeping Kids Safe Tips to Prevent Poisoning in the Home Install safety locks/childproof latches on all cabinets to restrict access to children. Store potential poisons including detergents, medications, and chemical products (like pesticides and drain cleaners) out of reach and out of sight of children -- inside the house as well as in the garage or shed. Store potential poisons in their original containers. Do not transfer them to food containers like milk jugs, coffee cans, or soda bottles. Keep food and potential poisons separate; store them in different cabinets. Children can mistake the identity of products that look alike to

them. Return all products to storage immediately after use. Keep the products and your children in sight during use. Never mix products; dangerous fumes could result. Make sure medications are in childresistant containers. Vitamins and supplements also should be out of reach of children. Be especially alert at grandma's house. Older people with hand arthritis may get medication bottles that are not childproof. They're also more likely to leave medicine out in the open. Keep indoor plants out of reach; some may be poisonous.

The Hospice annual fundraiser and contest is underway. This year’s theme is “Hearts for Hospice.� For a donation of one dollar or more, you can honor someone you love, living or dead. The honored one does not have to be Hospice connected. Anyone can be honored. Last year’s donations received were one to one hundred dollars or more. This is an affordable project for anyone who wants to raise money to meet the needs of Cleveland County’s two Hospice facilities and also for Hospice in-home patients. Hospice is non-profit so they depend on the community for support. This is a great community support project for churches, schools, businesses, or individuals. A plaque will be present to the church, school, business and individual who raises the most money. The hearts are available in packets of 25, 50, or 100. They can be displayed around your office, classroom, or just about anywhere you please. For more information and to get your hearts, contact Sharon Martin, Director of Community Outreach for Hospice, at: 704-487-4677 ext. 163 or 704-751-3591 after 5p.m.

MEDITATION May we be ‘holy’ and ‘blameless’

Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church In the first epistle to the Thessalonians, after Paul, Silvanus and Timothy were expelled from Thessalonica, the apostle worried over the new community there like some anxious parent. Paul’s concern was based not simply on the normal experiences of Christian living, but on reports that the new believers in Thessalonica had suffered persecution for their faith. This is why, when Paul re-

ceived Timothy’s uplifting news that his Thessalonian brothers and sisters had remained strong under stress (1 Thess. 3:6-10), he was encouraged and comforted. But despite this good news, Paul yearned all the more to go back and visit them (verse 10), and he even prayed night and day for that opportunity. The reason Paul gave for this desire was so that he could “supply” whatever was lacking in their faith. It was a strange word for Paul to use because it seems to suggest that Paul thought the Thessalonians had some sort of missing piece in the puzzle that was their faith. But perhaps what Paul was talking about had less to do with the Thessalonians and much more to do with Paul himself. Paul, you see, was a dynamic, driving personality who was never content with what he had accomplished, and always reaching for

more. In a similar fashion, Paul did not want any other believers to cease to grow and learn in their faith. Paul always wanted more for those he led to faith in Jesus Christ, so it may be that Paul was not concerned about a deficiency in the Thessalonians’ faith, but about his own hope to continue to help the Thessalonians be built up as a body of Christ followers. Although most modern translations break up Paul’s prayer into two verses (11 and 12), they are combined as one sentence in Greek. In the first part of the prayer, Paul expresses his desire to return to Thessalonica, and then in the second part he suggests that his real motive for the return is love. Paul then uses two verbs to express the intensity of that hoped-for love. First, he wants their love to “increase,” and then he wishes that it would “overflow” to others.

One characteristic of Christian love was that it should extend beyond the immediate community and into the world around, even to enemies. Paul concluded his prayer by offering his hope that the Thessalonians would be blameless before God when Christ returned. Paul’s powerful prayer is that through love and faith the Thessalonians might experience God building up their whole being. The terms “blameless” and “holy” stir up images of a heavenly court on judgment day, but Paul knows that no case may be brought against those who are truly God’s own holy people. Thus the situation in which Paul wants the Thessalonians to find themselves on the day when our Lord returns is the same situation he wishes for all of us, that we might be “holy” and “blameless,” not because of our nature but because of the nature of Christ at work in us. Amen.

The Town and Country Garden club met on Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013 at the Recreation Hall of First Presbyterian Church. 11 members were present for the meeting. Punkin Higginbothan and Rebecca Evans served a light meal. Cheryl Butler, club president, led the members in the reading of the Club Collect. Jewel Kendrick presented an interesting and informative program entitled “It’s for the Birds.” The average bird watcher needs binoculars, a bird identification book, and a camera. In the slide presentation, questions were asked: Why do we like birds? Birds are beautiful. We are overwhelmingly attracted to them. They are accessible. Many forms of wildlife are captivating or inspiring, but few are as available as birds. Most landscapes have a variety of birds. You can find birds at any time of the year because birds are a part of every season. These are also reasons why birds are important to us. We can provide birds with favorite habitats in the backyard. To inspire birds to take up residence in our outdoor spaces at our homes, we can increase the array of foods we offer which will increase the diversity of the birds. Many backyard birds are insect eaters, but will supplement their diets with nuts, seeds, fruit or nectar. Feeders should be available for hummingbirds from April to October. Wild birdseed stations should be available throughout the winter. Also, suet cakes and even fruit wedges hung in lower branches of trees may help in enticing the birds to stay.

Birdbaths are a simple, popular way to provide water and they add a decorative contribution to the landscape. Birds will remain in your habitat during the breeding season if they have places to nest and raise young. Get to know which species are likely to nest in your area and provide the appropriate habitat or structure. We should care about birds because they are important for many reasons. They help spread seeds to create new plants and they eat other animal species (like insects, rodents, reptiles, fish, etc.) and prevent overpopulation. Some theories relating to the decline of songbirds in North America are related to increase of deer population and loss of habitat. Another factor is that songbirds are very sensitive to noise and will avoid roads with a large volume of traffic. The brown-headed cowbird thrives along forest edges. They are an obligate brood parasite which means they lay their eggs in nests of other birds to rear their young. The parenting birds neglect their young in feeding the bigger young cowbirds. Jewel Kendrick gave each member a gift of a pinecone with suet, peanut butter and seeds to place in a tree to attract and feed winterizing birds. Prizes were awarded. At the end of the program, a test on “Do you know your birds?” was given. Susan Gibson, treasurer, gave her report. Rebecca Evans, a new member, was welcomed to the club. The March meeting will be hosted by Sarah Rhea.

BOLIN: KM Businessman of the Year From page 1A the train theme in the motif. Bolin, son of Coy and Jean Bolin of Kings Mountain, started his first business, Texsource, in 1997 with his Mom taking care of the office and one employee in shipping and Robert on the road selling screen printing supplies. Fifteen years later, he added Kings Mountain Signs, purchased The Printin’ Press in East Kings Mountain, and 238 Cherokee Street Tavern. He currently employs 45 people. He also owns the block of buildings on Gold Street where Sub Factory was located, available space for social events and new business. Community minded is how speakers portrayed the Businessman of the Year. The compassion he feels for others is seen in the food and coat drives he sponsors for the needy, a breast cancer awareness luncheon for survivors and toys for kids at Christmas, among others. He shares vegetables from his garden

with employees and others in the community. Family is important to Bolin. He and his wife, Lane, have been married 28 years. Their son, Ryan, 23, graduated in 2012 from UNCCharlotte with a degree in chemistry. Robert has two sisters, Angie Bolin and Angel Peterson, both of Kings Mountain. A 1980 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, Robert served in the US Army, 82nd Airborne four years and was in the National Guard Reserves for several years. He enjoys hunting, fishing, traveling with his family, gardening, and on occasion dons his bee suit and gathers honey from his bees. Presenting sponsors of the showcase are First National Bank and Shelby Savings Bank. Sponsors are City of Kings Mountain, Kings Mountain Hospital, Premier Federal Credit Union, Warlick & Hamrick Insurance, and Kings Mountain Herald. Food sponsors are 238 Cherokee Grill, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Linwood Restaurant and Subway.

From page 1A county board of commissioners, said he had heard that some county board membership may be cut but Moore said the county would not be impacted. He said he thought some Superior Court judgeships could be cut. Hastings reiterated that lawmakers are working on cutting tax systems and state spending. He mentioned the Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Automated Data Service (CJLEADS), a bill that shows a comprehensive view of an offender’s North Carolina

criminal information. It also develops, he said, a watch list of persons of interest. Daniel said a big focus of the legislature is the creation of the next state budget. A bill is on the governor’s desk to decrease the amount of benefits available each month for jobless residents. All said that measures underway by the legislature are aimed at securing the state’s financial footing by reducing the state’s unemployment debt, limiting financial burdens of the federal health care law and maintaining tax revenues.

KM softball to host Saturday scrimmage

KM boys advance in BSC tourney Kings Mountain’s girls saw their season end but the boys lived to play another day in the opening round of the Big South 3A Conference basketball tournament Monday night. The Lady Mountaineers lost to South Point 76-51 in Belmont but the Mountaineers knocked off fourthseed Forestview 61-58 on the Jaguars’ home court in Gastonia. The win sends the Mountaineers into a semi-final game tonight at #1 Hunter Huss. Since KM finished fifth in the regular season BSC race, the Mountaineers will have to beat Hunter Huss tonight and the CrestAshbrook winner on Friday to qualify for the state 3A playoffs. The Mountaineers trailed the Jaguars for most of the game Monday but moved ahead 48-46 in the fourth quarter on a basket by James Tillman, who was the game’s top scorer with 22 points. Solomon Hawkins, who finished with 10 points, put the Mountaineers ahead for good at 57-55 with 24 seconds left, and Cameron Bullock iced the game with two free throws with 13 seconds left. Chad Sanders scored 11 points to give the Mountaineers three players in double figures. Josh Sherer barely missed double digits with nine. South Point’s girls ran to a 20-2 lead in the first period and were in control throughout the contest. The Raiders led 46-18 at halftime and 6330 going into the fourth quarter. KM’s Monique Petty led all scorers with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Alecia Wade scored eight. “Obviously, a disappointing way to end the season,� said KM Coach Mike Harris. “But we’re looking at the bright side of things. Several players had the opportunity to move into a starting role on the varsity level late in the season.

Experienced Lady Mounties eye good season

Pitcher Reagan Childers returns for her senior year with KMHS softball team.

The weatherman threw a curve ball into the Kings Mountain High baseball and softball scrimmages last Saturday. The Lady Mountaineers played two games in the Freedom Scrimmage before the snow began falling and they had to head back down the mountain. With the expectation of snow on Saturday, the baseball team postponed its scrimmage with the Clover High JV and varsity teams and re-set it for Thursday afternoon at Lancaster Field. The KMHS girls softball team will host 10 teams in its annual scrimmage Saturday at the YMCA. Action begins at 10:30 with games being played on four fields. Joining the Lady Mountaineers will be East Gaston, Crest, South Point, Burns, Butler, East Rutherford, South Meck, Freedom, and Shelby. Admission is only $5 for the entire day. With the prospect of rain Saturday, KM Coach Craig Short said he plans to do his very best to get the games in even if some have to be pushed back or moved to Monday. The scrimmage is an annual fund-raising event for the softball program. Although he was minus six players Saturday at Freedom, Short said he saw some good things and will try to build on that in practice this week and in Saturday’s scrimmage.

“We were a patchwork team,� he said. “We had a lot of girls playing out of position. We had five girls taking the SAT and one was out sick. But the pitching was pretty good with Reagan Childers and Mikeala Bell out there and we put the ball in play. But we were rusty.� The KM ladies were scheduled to open pre-season practice on Wednesday but had to cancel the practice due to rain. “We got in Thursday and Friday, and then the two scrimmage games on Saturday,� he said. “We’re hoping to get close to a full week this week.� Short currently has 16 players on the roster, and the possibility of one more joining the team after basketball. He lost only two seniors off last year’s team and has some promising freshmen and two transfers coming on board. “It’s early, but I have noticed that the maturity level is up,� he said. “The girls look older and wiser. Our practices have been pretty crisp.� The returning players have been in a special baseball/softball PE class, Short said, and that has helped them get in some weight lifting and practice. “Just them being around each other is good,� he said. “The preparedness level is better than it’s been in years past. But we’re See Softball, 2B

Mountaineer baseball team young with lot of optimism First-year Kings Mountain High baseball coach Matt Bridges will put a young but promising team on the field this spring that should bring the team a lot of victories over the next several years. Ten players, including eight starters, graduated from last year’s team and senior pitcher-shortstop Wil Sellers is the only player returning that started full-time last spring. In fact, Sellers, who will be joining the team as soon as the basketball season is over, has been a starter and one of the team’s leading hitters since his freshman year. The Gardner-Webb recruit will be the Mountaineers go-to guy on the mound, and when he’s not pitching he will be playing full-time at shortstop. Andrew Moore, a senior, has seen some playing time at third base in the past and Coach Bridges said he will be a “vital� player for the Mountaineers this year. Daniel Barrett, a versatile player who can play many positions, and Alex Reynolds, who will be playing first base this year, both started at times on varsity and JV last season and should be solid contributors. Coach Bridges is looking for Landon Bolin, who played JV last year, to be a big contributor on the mound. Left-hander Alex Grooms, up from the JV team, will see action in the outfield and on the mound. Sophomore Logan Stevens is a good fielder at second base, and Cameron Bullock and freshman Will Wilson could also see a lot of action in the infield. Wilson is a switchhitter and is consistent from both sides of the plate, Bridges noted. Zack Hegler, also up from the JV team, is the front runner for starting in left field. “We’re very young,� Bridges noted. “We’re carrying 13 players including a freshman and two sophomores. “We don’t have a lot of experience. It’s

important that we be situational hitters, play solid defense and be strong on the mound. The key is to be good at the plate. Reynolds and Bolin hopefully will be strong in the middle of the batting order.� Bridges will get the first look at his team against an opponent Thursday when the Mountaineers host Clover, SC in a JV/varsity scrimmage at 4:30. The Mountaineers travel to Chase Saturday for a JV/varsity scrimmage at 11 a.m., and they will open their regular season next Wednesday at home against East Rutherford, with games slated at 4:30 (JV) and 7 p.m. (varsity). East Rutherford, a perennial 2A power with several state championships to its credit, will help the Mountaineers see what they have to do to be successful this year. Other non-conference games are against Shelby, which should be very good this year, and Burns, which is always a strong test. “We purposely scheduled tough non-conference games to get us ready for conference,� Bridges said. “The Big South is always tough. South Point is always good, as well as Forestview, North Gaston and Crest. We can compete with them. If we put up some runs we should be alright.� Trey Robinson will be assisting Bridges, and former Mountaineer pitcher Eric Boyd will be varsity pitching coach as well as JV assistant to Coach Bridges’ brother, Jason. Those four men are working together to turn KM baseball fortunes around. The Mountaineers haven’t made the state playoffs since 2009 when they won the old Southwestern Conference. They haven’t finished higher than fifth since joining the BSC in 2010. “We’re a young team,� Bridges said, “But the kids are high energy. They have bought into what we’re doing.�

KMMS girls in Tri-County playoffs Hope to repeat as league champions after winning Eastern Division Kings Mountain Middle School’s girls basketball wrapped up its second straight Eastern Division title last week and this week is going after its second straight TriCounty Conference championship. Monty Deaton’s ladies defeated North Lincoln 51-25 last Tuesday and Burns 35-24 Thursday to close out its regular season with a 9-1 division and 9-2 overall mark. The Lady Patriots were scheduled to host Shelby yesterday in the first round of the Tri-County championship playoffs. A victory over Shelby would send the Lady Patri-

ots into a game Thursday against the winner of the Crest-East Lincoln game. If the Lady Patriots beat Shelby they would host the championship game if East Lincoln wins and play at Crest if Crest wins. Kings Mountain started slow but finished fast Thursday to beat an aggressive Burns team. Tatiyana Phillips’ 3-pointer gave the Patriots a 6-1 lead after the first quarter. The other three points came from the foul line with LeeAsia Rhodes hitting 2-for-2 and Kelsey Farmer 1for-3. Overall, the Patriots hit only

3 of 9. “We didn’t play much better in the second period as we did not capitalize on many opportunities,� Coach Deaton said. “Virginia Dellinger did give us a little spark, scoring four of her six points on two steals for fast break layups.� Also scoring in the second period was Rhodes with three more. Kings Mountain carried a 15-9 lead into halftime. After some motivation the team came out and played better in the second half. Another three by Phillips got the Patriots going and they

outscored Burns 9-6 to take a 2415 lead into the fourth quarter. Also in the third, Dellinger had another steal and layup and Rhodes hit two more free throws to finish the game with a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe. Tamia Ellis also scored two points. Scoring in the fourth were Farmer with two, Rhodes and Jessica McClure with four each and Tamara Adams with one. Rhodes finished with 12 points, Dellinger and Phillips six each, McClure four, Ellis and Farmer

KM ends regular season with two losses to Jaguars Kings Mountain’s varsity basketball teams dropped a doubleheader to Forestview in their regular season finale Friday night at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The Forestview boys edged the Mountaineers 68-64 to break a tie for fourth place and claim the Big South 3A’s fourth and final playoff berth. The Forestview girls rolled to a 90-45 win over the Lady Mountaineers to wrap up second place in the BSC behind Crest. The Mountaineers outscored the visiting Jaguars 16-5 in the second quarter to take a 34-24 halftime lead and they stayed out front for most of the second half before Forestview came from behind in the final two minutes to win. Devante Mackins was the big gun for the Jaguars, scoring a game-high 26 points. James Tillman led the Kings Mountain’s Solomon Mountaineers with 24 points Hawkins shoots a free throw. and 12 rebounds.

The Forestview girls jumped out to a 19-8 first quarter lead and led 42-22 at the half and 64-36 going into the fourth period. “Regardless of what the score looks like, our girls did not quit,� said KM Coach Mike Harris. “Forestview has been one of the top teams in the Big South for many years. They still have a loaded line-up and they have experienced players coming off their bench. They shot the ball extremely well, and I don’t want to take anything away from them. We had to play a base defense, and we had several JV players get some quality minutes.� Lauren Smith led the Lady Jags with 28 points and Bre Armstrong added 16.

The Crest ladies jumped to a 16-5 first period lead but the younger KM team made a game of it after that. “After a slow start, I was really proud of the way our girls played the reset of the game,� Coach Mike Harris said. “Crest is the top team in our conference.� KM’s Monique Petty was the player of the game with 23 points and 18 rebounds, both game highs. A more balanced scoring attack was the key to Crest as there players scored in double figures. Kings Mountain’s boys were on top early in the second half but the Chargers’ Demarcus Smith scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half to lead the comeback.

CCS students earn AP Scholar Awards

Students pictured left to right: Rikard Ploeger, Emani Williams, Reed Cooper, and Elijah Hunter.

Ronald McDonald visits North Ronald McDonald visited North Elementary on Friday, Feb. 8, 2013. Local McDonald’s owner/operators offer educational programs that are designed to enrich students’ academic year in a unique and entertaining way. Ronald McDonald knows how to get children in the kindergarten through fifth grade excited and delivers positive messages that are timely and critical to our students. Ronald McDonald presented the program,

“Giving Back with Ronald McDonald” to the student body at North Elementary. The program shows students how anyone, no matter their age, can help others by using their time, talent, and gifts with each other and their community. Ronald McDonald presented the program through music and exciting magic tricks. The students had a great time and received a wonderful lesson!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE – West Elementary first graders in the classrooms of Mrs. George, Mrs. Ware and Mrs. Wilson collected 100 food items to celebrate the 100th day of school. The students donated the items to the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry.

More than 100 students earned AP Scholar Awards for their outstanding performances on Advanced Placement courses and exams during 2011-2012. The AP Program offers AP Scholar Awards to recognize high school students who demonstrated college-level achievement through AP courses and exams. In Cleveland County, 104 students (including a number of 2012 graduates) received college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on AP exams. Cleveland County Schools recently was named to the 3rd Annual AP District Honor Roll for increasing student access to Advanced Placement course work while simultaneously increasing the percentage of students with scores of 3 or higher on AP exams. During 2011-12 about 20 percent of the more than 2.1 million students who took AP Exams worldwide performed at a sufficiently high level to earn AP Scholar status. Students receive award certificates, and the achievement is acknowledged on reports sent to colleges. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams: 1. AP Scholars: 69 students who received scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams including 10 from Burns High; 23 from Crest High; 17 from Kings Mountain

High; and 19 from Shelby High. 2. AP Scholars with Honor: 15 students who received an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams including four each from Burns and Crest high schools and seven from Shelby High. 3. AP Scholars with Distinction: 20 students who received an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams including two each from Burns and Crest high schools, five from Kings Mountain High and 11 from Shelby High. 4. National AP Scholar: Two students who received an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams: •Elizabeth Baker, a 2012 Kings Mountain High School graduate •Megan Nanney, a 2012 Shelby High School graduate Cleveland County Schools was among 539 districts in the nation and seven in North Carolina named to the College’s Board’s 3rd Annual AP District Honor Roll. The College Board said increasing the number of students participating in AP courses while increasing scores at the same time indicates a school district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students likely to benefit most from rigorous AP course work.
