Faunce rezoning sent back to city staff - again ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
By vote of 6-1 the Kings Mountain City Council Monday night continued public hearing and sent the Faunce rezoning request back to city staff to continue working with the developer on his site plan. Councilman Tommy Hawkins, Ward 3, voted “no.� He said after the meeting that it’s time council takes action. “This has been going on too long,’’ said Hawkins. Four members of the West End Neighborhood Association – Helen Hatch, Pucky Lewis Nance, Melvin Ware and Lewis Nance spoke in opposition to the request
by David Faunce of Faunce Properties to rezone his property at 813 W. King Street, formerly 814 W. Mountain St. from RS-8 to Conditional Use Office. Four of the seven members of city council raised questions during an hour of discussion, their obvious concerns focusing on the proposed size of the building that Faunce is looking at for his .7 acre property, now the home of a child day care center which wraps around three streets at the west entrance to the city – West Mountain, King and Phifer Road. “Would you be willing to change the size of the building, I have a problem with that?� asked
Serving of beer and wine approved at 3 city properties ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
By 5-2 City Council Monday night authorized the consumption of wine and malt beverages on three city properties – the old railroad depot, the old US Post office building and the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center. Their action amends Section 130-10 of a city ordinance in effect since 1988 which had prohibited any kind of consumption of alcoholic beverages on city property. In a second motion, which passed unanimously, the board stipulated that the Patrick Center staff, before renting that facility for a social function, check for proper insurance of the person renting the property because he/she would have the legal liabilities, not the city. Southern Arts Society and Kings Mountain Historical Museum lease both the other properties and non-profits are adequately insured. Councilmen Mike Butler of
Ward II and Keith Miller, Ward 5, voted against the amendment. Approving were mayor pro tem Rodney Gordon, Ward 4, Howard Shipp, Ward I, Tommy Hawkins, Ward 3, and at large commissioners Rick Moore and Dean Spears. “I vote No,’’ said councilman Butler before Mayor Rick Murphrey called for the official votes tabulated electronically on a wall board in Council Chambers at city hall. City attorney Mickey Corry said that beer and wine could be served, not sold, at only the three properties. The tenant, or lessee, must first apply for the appropriate permits issued by the N. C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, the permits provided to the City of Kings Mountain prior to the event occurring for which the beverages are to be served. The amended ordinance allows the serving of beer/wine at special events, no mixed drinks, Corry pointed out. He said the inquiry to
Mayor pro tem Rodney Gordon. Faunce said that he has “wrestled with two stories versus one story but it has to do with parking places.� He added that he could consider a 6,500 square foot one story building if other things could be eliminated, shingles on the roof, etc. “I think there could be a resolution if you tweet a couple of things,’’ said Gordon, adding “I think we are the closest to a compromise than we’ve been in a long time.� Councilman Mike Butler asked Faunce if he would reduce the hours of operation, also a major concern since the Faunce property adjoins a residential neighborhood. Faunce said he wants whatever business is located there to be open 24/7. Neighborhood residents are suggesting 7 a.m.-9 p.m. “I do not agree to changing the hours of operation,’’ he said, adding that buffering would segregate his property from Mountain Street as well as additional fencing. Responding to questions of commissioners, he said that all four sides of the proposed building would be 90% stone or brick construction. “A lot of uses

have already been eliminated and the office use I am proposing is the least combative,’’ added Faunce. “Are you just hoping for a tenant or do you have one?� asked councilman Dean Spears. Faunce said the zoning change had to come first. A retired building contractor, Spears also questioned the size of the building as presented on the site plan. Councilman Keith Miller asked city planning director Steve Killian to research the question of 24-7 hours of operation of similar busi-
nesses in town. ‘’Does this need to be tweaked?’’, he asked Miller made the motion to direct the rezoning matter back to staff for further work with the developer. Miller said he could see positive progress. While the latest site plan includes certain items that are beneficial and serve to soften the transition between the West End Neighborhood and commercial use, the four members of the See FAUNCE, 6A
KMPD investigating stabbing death Octavius Leon Thomas, 26, 936 Shannon Bradley Road, Gastonia, died last Wednesday, March 20, from a stab wound that police say he got while horse playing with knives. Kings Mountain Police were called at 26 minutes after midnight
“in reference to a black male lying in the front yard of 1106 Groves Street and unresponsive.� According to Det. Sgt. C. N. Moore the officers began CPR and the man was transported to Gaston Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. According to Moore
officers learned during preliminary investigation that two black males at the residence were horse playing with knives at which time Thomas received a fatal wound. Thomas was reportedly visiting his girlfriend at the residence and the horse playing incident allegedly involved Thomas
and his girlfriend’s teenage son. No arrests have been made and the incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Sgt. C. N. Moore at the Kings Mountain Police Department, 704734-0444.

County approves grant The drive for capital funds for expansion of the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center got a boost from Cleveland County Commissioners last Tuesday. By unanimous vote, commissioners approved a $150,000 donation to be paid over a four year period, adding that they welcomed a return visit from campaign leaders as progress gets underway. Saying the county would be in a budget crunch to donate the requested $300,000, commissioner Johnny Hutchins made the motion, seconded by commissioner Jason Falls, both of Kings Mountain, to make the grant and come back at the end of the campaign, if needed, to make another request for funds. “The county needs to scale back at this time,� said Falls.

Utility companies gather in KM to view new smart grid system Kings Mountain hosted a dozen Carolina utilities last Friday to demonstrate the city’s leading position in smart grid. Smart grids collect data for numerous locations throughout a utilities distribution network. Armed with data, utility managers make better decisions. Kings Mountain is the first utility in the Carolinas to pilot a Smart Grid for electric, water and gas. The Smart Grid Open House was kicked off by Mayor Rick Murphrey. The mayor welcomed visitors from Boone, Concord, Elizabeth City, Fayetteville Gastonia, Granite Falls, Landis, Red Springs, Shelby and Statesville. The mayor provided a history of Kings Mountain and explained how smart grids are a component piece of economic developments. Utility reliability and utility rates are important criteria for companies looking to relocate. City Manager Marilyn Sellers described the con-
sumer benefits of a smart grid. Consumers will be able to go on-line at any time to view their electric, gas and water usages. With smart grids consumers can better budget their utility expenditures. Energy Service Director Nick Hendricks guided the visiting utility managers through the selection process of choosing a smart grid partner. Kings Mountain has teamed with SAIC, Inc. on a 1200 meter pilot project. SAIC provides Smart Grid as a Service, a turnkey solution that includes meters, data collectors, computer software and web access on a subscription basis. Smart meters and software for this pilot project are manufactured by Raleigh-based Elster Solutions. Hendricks described some of the smart grid benefits such as remote meter readings, bad debt reductions, prompter billing and faster outage response. Holly Black, Engineer Standards Director, described how a smart grid project is implemented. The
lessons learned provide valuable insight for the visiting utility managers After lunch the visiting utility managers learned each of the components of the smart grid. Meters, data collectors and software were on display. One of the key afternoon activities was a tour of the Kings Mountain smart grid pilot area where the visiting utility managers witnessed a remote disconnect. At the end of the day the visiting utility managers returned to their communities with a wealth of knowledge about smart grids.

King says he will not seek reelection Kings Mountain’s Wayne King, who has emerged as one of the young stars of the Grand Old Party, has announced that he will not seek reelection as Vice Chair of the North Carolina Republican Party. King said he will continue to serve through the end of his term of office in June. He is serving as Senior Advisor to US Congressman Mark Meadows (NC 11) and plans to stay active in the N. C. Republican Party. King is a former Cleveland County GOP Chair and 10th District GOP Chair and earned a reputation as a tireless worker during his tenure and was considered by many to be one of the party’s most active and visible spokesperson over the past two years. His successor will be elected at the upcoming NCGOP state convention set for June 7-9 in Charlotte. “It has been an honor to serve as Vice Chairman and to have the opportunity to work with Chairman Hayes and many great Republican leaders across our state,” said King. “Because of the hard work of grassroots Republicans across this state we have enjoyed many successes. For the first time in 140 years we have a Republican Governor, a Republican Lieutenant
Governor, a Republican majority on the State Supreme Court and the largest Republican majorities in history in the state House and State Senate. We were the only battleground state to switch from blue to red on the presidential level. We elected three new Republican Congressman and now have a 94 majority in our Congressional delegation. What we have accomplished here in North Carolina is now being hailed as a model for other state parties and the national party.” King continued, “I am confident that the future is very bright for our party. Our new Governor and our Republican majorities in the state House and State Senate are charting a new Conservative vision for our state that will protect our freedoms, transform our economy and return out state to prosperity. We have tremendous grassroots leaders throughout our party from our precinct organization to our county and district parties. It’s a great time to be a Republican in North Carolina. I look forward to working with the next State Party Chair and Vice Chair to ensure a successful transition and to help ensure the continued success of the NCGOP.”

Quote of the week... For I remember it is Easter morn, And life and love and peace are all new born. Celebrating a year of giving
Wendy Isbell Publisher
The Green Banana Project will soon celebrate its first year of charitable activities in Kings Mountain, and we are extremely pleased with the support shown by Kings Mountain folk. Through your contributions we’ve been able to donate $250 to the KM Rotary Club’s BackPack Project, and $180 to KM Relay for Life. As you’ve heard and read, we are co-sponsoring with Summit Place the Music Fest 2013 on April 12 & 13 at the Joy, featuring Darin and Brooke Aldridge and Jimmy Wayne on Saturday, and The Kingsmen Quartet, Men Standing for Christ and the Aldridges on Friday. We are excited about this weekend of music–it was just one of the projects Ron had on his iPad to keep our family and the KM Herald family supporting and involved in the community. We hope to have local churches involved as well, with booths and groups during the day Saturday, and in the Joy in the afternoon. The profits from these shows will again help the Rotary and Relay. Last April, Ron shared his desire to help out individuals
and families in this area who were not adequately covered by medical insurance or otherwise unable to obtain needed equipment. This is another part of the ‘hope’ we aim to instill: that with a little help things will get brighter as the bananas ripen! We had discovered, during his hospitalizations, some items necessary to our every day living and moving about were considered convenience items by insurance providers, so not paid. And even though they could be purchased privately, some were too expensive for people who’d already spent a great deal on medical care. The Green Banana Project intends to create an inventory to provide those items for as long as needed, and keep them in stock for others to use. We’re considering walkers, canes, slide boards, bed tables, wheelchairs, bath/shower chairs. These take no special training to use but can make a huge difference in mobility and comfort. And, as with all non-profit groups, volunteers are always welcome! In fact a sweet lady emailed us through the web site last week asking what she could do, and jumped right on a current project. I know with her help we will have a tremendous turnout at Music Fest. Visit the site: greenbananaproject.org; we have photos from last year’s Ice Cream Crank-off and the information for Music Fest, and contact information. Please join us.

If either side of this debate is about race then President Obama is guilty of bringing that to the forefront of his campaign and administration. In February 2012 President Obama initiated a program called African Americans for Barack Obama. If you didn’t see it, you can find it on youtube. You’ll be able to see the video where he states “we are greater together than we ever could be on our own.’’ By saying that, he seems to be trying to convince a segment of citizens that he is bound to them by virtue of color, and that, in my opinion is a divide and conquer strategy. I hope the people of all races, color and ethnic background recognize it as such. All of directly, or by way of our ancestors, except for the American Indian, came from some other country and continent, but we’re all Americans now. There’s certainly nothing wrong with knowing your heritage or having pride in it if you want, but once you accept citizenship here you should be American without adjectives. I have a lot of friends of different skin and ethnic background. I served in the military with them. I’ve worked with them and I socialize with them. Some are Democrats (much to my chagrin), some Independents and some Republicans. I’m proud to have them all as my friends; I believe they will see President Obama’s effort as a self gain ploy as I hope everyone does. So, why did President Obama align himself as African American instead of American? It’s obvious to me he thinks he’s smarter than his target as a whole and that he can count on their vote by pretending to be bound by a special DNA connection. He certainly hasn’t earned their votes because he hasn’t reduced their unemployment rate, nor has he improved their standard of living; as a mater of fact, he hasn’t done that or any amerifan except for himself and some campaign contributors, and oh yes, his White House staff. If I remember his campaign speeches before
I am happy for anyone to come to the United States. We are truly a great country. I’ve been further convinced of this by visiting other countries. There are some wonderful places but I always feel better when I am on American soil. Our country has issues but nothing like those faced by most other countries. I can understand why people want to come here. Many of them are desperate to get into our country. All are hoping for a better life. I haven’t traveled out of the country very much but I have been to a few places. Whenever I travel abroad I make sure that I have my passport and any necessary visa that the country requires. I wouldn’t dream of trying to go any other way. I am amazed at the millions of people who risk it all to enter America illegally with little or no financial means to survive when they get here. I am in favor of helping people but they should come here legally. Entering the country without the proper documents is breaking the law. People who hire those who are here illegally are encouraging their illegal presence in our country. I can appreciate immigration reform. I don’t believe the process should take years. On the other hand we should not hand out citizenship like penny candy at Halloween. It’s worth something to be an American. My wife’s grandfather was once held prisoner of war during World War II in the Philippines. He paid a heavy price for America. My brother fought in Vietnam and a neighbor friend was killed in Vietnam. Another friend was left for dead after being thrust with a bayonet in Korea. He survived that experience to be shot on two different occasions in Vietnam. Many Americans have sacrificed their lives for America. Families today live with the sacrifice of giving up their loved ones for America. I think about how hard Americans have worked to make and keep this country free. Think of not only the wars but also the sacrifices of every generation that has battled to keep America free, strong and the kind of place desired by nationalities around the world. American freedom has not come easy and there will be nothing easy about preserving who we are and what we have.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor: Just a note to say how upset I was to see a house built in 1899 and in the Historic District on West Mountain Street being burned as a learning exercise for Cleveland Community College. This house is on the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, DC. It is such a shame that this house was not
offered for sale so someone could have remodeled it and enjoyed living in it while preserving the history of our town. So many people have done so much to preserve the old historic homes in our town. Many have done it strictly on their own, and now homes in the historic district can get tax credit for remodeling, according to the Preservation Society’s guidelines.
The Central School District, the Margrace Mill District, and the West End District are all Historical areas with signs posted at the entrance to each one. Again, thank you to all who have put time and money into caring for your historical homes. It is such a shame that this was allowed to happen. For the past few years, we have worked again and again to try to pre-
serve this residential neighborhood from undesirable encroachment. Many people in town enjoy walking, jogging, and biking on these streets included in West End. Thank you to everyone who has helped maintain it as a desirable place for the whole town. Mary L. Nance

Easter services
MEDITATION Through Christ even death is ‘reversible’
Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church Next Sunday is Easter – the Sunday many Christians call “Resurrection” Sunday. It is the highest point in the Christian year and a day when we remember the essential promise of Christian faith. I know that many people grow tired of hearing me mention a teenage son my wife and I lost six years ago. They act as if we should be “over it” now, or as if men-

tioning it is a sign that we have not “dealt with it.” What I suspect they don’t realize, though, is that a loss like that becomes a part of you, and you often think of it. Now I don’t think about my son all the time, nor do I weep whenever his memory rises up into my conscious thoughts, but there are times that I think of him and then I am reminded of the reality of a word that seems so final. It is the word “irreversible.” Death is irreversible. This is not the way many things are in this life. I purchase belts that are reversible, with black on one side and brown on the other, so that I can switch colors easily and can purchase just one belt rather than paying for two. Some jackets are reversible, with one side made of one kind of material and
the other is made of something else. The reversibility of clothes gives us a choice, or the opportunity to change. Our cars have a gear on them that is known as “reverse,” and when we put our car in reverse we can go backwards. We don’t have to keep going in one direction alone; we have a choice. Even some serious surgical procedures can be reversible in the sense that what was done by one surgeon can be un-done by another surgeon. But there is one thing in this life that is not reversible and that is death. I have spoken for many funeral services over the years, and at funerals I always try to say something meaningful about the person who has died. I may mention memories of hobbies, interests, or personality traits, even allowing those in attendance to chuckle quietly, but warmly
at the thought of their loved one’s idiosyncrasies. But the fact is that nothing I can say, nothing I can do can accomplish what everybody wants: to have that loved one back again. Yet the promise of Easter is that the Resurrection of Jesus holds out for each of us the promise of reversibility. This means that because of Easter nothing, not even death, is final. Even death can be reversed! The reversibility of is a spiritual reality that Christians proclaim with joy, for it means that when we are enveloped in a cloud of grief, we do not have to be defeated for we know that through Jesus Christ death is “reversible.” There is life ahead of us, and this makes Easter a joyful a time to celebrate, for “Christos Anesti” (Christ is Risen), He is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah!

Patterson Grove women attend retreat

Patterson Grove men help in Sandy’s aftermath Twelve men from Patterson Grove Baptist Church are back from New York where they spent six days helping out in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The mission project was
highly successful. The group stayed at the N. C. Baptist Camp at the Aquaduct Race Track. They repaired homes at the Rockaway Beach Area, cleaned basements, put up sheet
rock and flooring and sprayed anti-fungal spray to kill mold. The weather was in the 40’s and lower 50’s range. The Kings Mountain volunteers also assisted the
American Red Cross in distributing food from Red Cross emergency relief vehicles. The day before the cleanup, the group took a subway into New York City,

FAUNCE: sent back to city staff with rezoning request From page 1A Neighborhood who spoke Monday during public hearing, said it falls short of providing all that is needed. Helen Hatch, of 311 W. Mountain, who presented a petition from West End Neighborhood property owners, said the commercial use proposed by Faunce is detrimental to the residential quality of the neighborhood. She said that some commercial uses suggested for the site would not be detrimental but “Mr. Faunce wouldn’t go along with it.” The residents oppose the building size, she said, a two-story building way too large for the site, and they oppose a business open 24-7, citing traffic and lights, lack of sufficient buffering. She said a next door neighbor lives 20 feet away from the site. “We received copies of the site only a few hours before scheduled meetings of the planning board, done on purpose to minimize our reaction and no time to circulate petitions. This is not a simple zoning request,’’ she said. Hatch told the board “you need to change the way
this sort of thing is handled.’’ The Faunce property adjoins three residential properties on West Mountain Street where homes are now located – the Ware and Funderburke homes across the street and the Bolin home abutting the east side. There is also one vacant residential property adjoining from the King Street side. Melvin Ware, whose family owns the Ware property across the street from the Faunce property, said that West End Neighborhood Association has asked that the site plan be revised to specify a one story building with a maximum of 6,000 square feet of floor space and he said several good examples of office buildings that would be appropriate are Dr. Grady Howard’s office on King Street and the Alexander Professional Offices on Sims Street. Both are attractive one-story structures, he said, that blend well with adjoining and nearby residential properties. Another matter of concern is the hours of operation. “It’s only reasonable that the hours be limited for a residential neighborhood,’’ he said.
Mary Lillian (Pucky) Nantz grew up on West Mountain Street and echoed the concerns expressed by others that the size of the building proposed for the site and the proposed hours of operation were major concerns. “Help us maintain the integrity of our neighborhood,’’ she asked the board. “We’ve come too far and our Neighborhood stands to lose if this property is rezoned as presented in the site plan,’’ said Lewis Nantz, 309 W. Mountain Street. The city’s planning and Zoning Board split 4-2 at its recent meeting to recommend rezoning, adding a condition that eliminated the possibility of urgent care facility but Neighborhood spokesmen said the verbal agreement had not been included in the application or site plan. In a letter addressed to council by the West End Neighborhood Association, they wrote: “We’ve all spent considerable time and effort in working toward a practical solution and are willing to continue so long as progress is being made.”

Forty women from Patterson Grove Baptist Church–from teenagers to senior citizens–attended a weekend women’s retreat recently at Ridgecrest Assembly Grounds. Rita Hendrick and Jane Williams co-chaired the retreat which included a Bible study on the Book of Ruth. Youngest member present was Savannah Cash. Senior member present was Betty Jones. Seven mothers and their daughters were among the large group that worshipped and had fun at the annual retreat.
ORDINANCE: to serve beer and wine approved From page 1A amend the ordinance came from the Southern Arts Society which is hosting a big water color exhibit in April. Several years ago the Kings Mountain Historical Museum made a similar request. Senior Center officials suggested that with the amended ordinance the Center could become competitive for hosting such occasions as wedding receptions.
AMERICANS From page 4A elected President he was going to be the glue that truly pulled us together. Very recently, in one of our area newspapers a lady wrote she thought a lot of negative comments about President Obama were due to him being African American. I countered that notion by saying many of us would love to see someone like Allen West, Condoleezza Rice, Dr. Ben Carson or Thomas Sowella President. I don’t like Joe Biden, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi either, so the only prejudice I see I have is against liberal socialist. Look at the President’s successes or failures on their own merit, but evaluate them as Americans without adjectives.
IMMIGRATION From page 4A To just pass out citizenship to anybody and everybody who crosses our border legally or illegally without going through a fair and just process is a slap in the face of every soldier who has died for this country. It’s a slap in the face of every American who has spent his life filling out tax reforms, paying untold fortunes of taxes to the government and abiding by the law. I am thrilled that people want to come to America. Just please abide by the law and make our country better. America is here for you. Come one and come all. Salute our flag, carry your share of taxes, serve in our military and help us keep this country free and strong.

PPG Fiber Glass has donated $30,500 to promote STEMrelated education in the Shelby area. Pictured at left are high school students who attended an engineering fair at the Shelby industry recently. The PPG Industries Foundation has donated a total of $57,500 since 2011 to support initiatives promoting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education on behalf of manufacturing facilities in PPG Industries fiber glass business, such as its Shelby plant. For the Shelby community, it donated $18,000 to the Cleveland Community College Foundation and $12,500 to North Carolina State University. The Cleveland County grant funded the purchase of a 25seat license for MATLAB technical computing software, which is used throughout CCC’s STEM discipline areas. Many schools require undergraduate students to have experience with MATLAB software before beginning STEM-related coursework, and the mathematical software is widely used in industry. The grant to NC State University supported an engineering fair held at the PPG Shelby facility last October. The firstever local fair welcomed high school students considering careers in engineering and similar fields and it included a plant tour, a local manufacturers’ showcase, representatives from four colleges and a student competition involving construction of a miniature wind turbine. Another fair is planned for this year.

Rick Hamrick, President of Legion Riders, smoked barbecue and prepared BBQ chicken with sauce and auxiliary members prepared covered dishes and served a red, white and blue birthday cake and desserts. Hamrick and Post Commander Louis Floyd welcomed Legionnaires, Auxiliary members and Sons of the American Legion and thanked them for their service to veterans, children and the community. Unit 155 Chaplain Lou Ballew gave the invocation. Organization of the National American
Legion began in 1919 shortly after the end of World War I and soon grew to remain the largest military and service organization with 2 1/2 million members. The Auxiliary and Sons of the Legion membership brings the total to nearly four million members. The American Legion is the nation’s most influential and dependable advocate of veterans affairs, fighting for better active-duty pay, improved housing for active-duty families and helping to ensure that the VA’s medical system can properly care for veterans. Locally, veterans’ benefits and children are high on the priority list at the local Post 155 as all three organizations are busy in the community.

Mountaineers whip Huskies, Ashbrook
Ashbrook’s Alexis Wallace scores on a wild pitch in the first inning of last week’s game at KMHS. KM pitcher Reagan Childers is covering home. Ashbrook’s lead was short-lived as the Lady Mountaineers came roaring back for a 14-3 win.
KM beats Huss, Ashbrook; unbeaten in Big South 3A Kings Mountain’s girls softball team opened up Big South 3A play last week by closing out Gastonia rivals Hunter Huss 20-4 and Ashbrook 14-3 in five innings. The Lady Mountaineers, 2-0 in the BSC and 6-2 overall, were scheduled to play at North Gaston last night and will end their pre-Easter schedule Thursday at home against Crest, one of the BSC’s pre-season favorites. The KM ladies continued to get good pitching from senior ace Reagan Childers and the offense ripped 19 hits against Huss and 11 against the Green Wave. Ashbrook’s defense aided the Mountaineers by committing six errors. The Lady Mountaineers went deep in both games, slamming multiple extra base hits including two home runs by Molly Short in the Huss game and one home run by Emily Hester against both Huss and Ashbrook. Childers gave up only two hits and struck out seven at Huss. Short went 3-for-5 with five runs batted in and Hester was 4-for-5 with four runs batted in. Freshman Miranda Ellis was 4-for-4 with two RBI, and Hailey Wheaton, Emily Bell, Leah Herndon and Amber Goins each had two hits. Childers got off to a shaky start Friday, walking the bases loaded and uncorking a wild pitch that gave Ashbrook a 1-0 lead. Kings Mountain got a
double by Hester - one of her two for the day - and a single by Short in the bottom of the first but the Mounties couldn’t score. Childers struck out the side in the second, though, and in the bottom of the inning the Mountaineers batted around and the Ashbrook defense committed four errors as KM scored five runs. Emily Bell led off with a single and Ellis reached on an error to set up a two-run double by Ashlee Harris and a 2-1 KM lead. Another error and a fielder’s choice pushed the lead to 3-1, and two more errors resulted in a 4-1 KM lead. Mikeala Bell’s single plated the fifth run. Ashbrook scored twice in the top of the third to cut the margin to 5-3 and their defense settled down in the bottom of the inning and kept the score intact. Childers fanned the side in the top of the fourth. In the bottom of the inning the Mountaineers sent 14 batters to the plate and scored nine runs to break the game wide open at 14-3. Ashbrook was retired in order in the top of the fifth to end the game. Hester’s long grand-slam home run was the highlight of the KM fourth inning assault. The Mountaineers had six other hits in the uprising, including Hester’s second double, a run-scoring single by Emily Bell, a two-run double by Harris, and singles by Childers and Herndon that loaded the sacks for Hester’s blast over the center field fence.
Kings Mountain’s Emily Hester is all smiles as she heads home after hitting a grand slam home run in Friday’s win over Ashbrook.
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers defeated Hunter Huss 5-2 and Ashbrook 8-2 in Big South 3A Conference play last week. The victories followed a narrow loss to defending champion South Point in their season opener and put them at 2-1 in the BSA and 4-3 overall heading into a game last night at North Gaston. The Mountaineers close out their pre-Easter schedule at home Thursday night against the Crest Chargers. They will compete in the Shelby Easter Classic next week and resume BSC action April 9 at home against Forestview. Hunter Huss scored two unearned runs in the first inning to grab the lead Tuesday night on the Huskies’ diamond. But Kings Mountain responded with good pitching, better defense and timely hitting to nail down the victory. Junior Landon Bolin worked the first six innings to get the win. He gave up just one hit. Alex Reynolds came on in the seventh to strikeout two batters and pick up a save. Cameron Bullock and Daniel Barrett led the Mountaineer hit parade with three each. Wil Sellers drove in two runs with a single and Logan Stevens and Alex Grooms each had RBI singles. Sellers got his first start on the mound in over two weeks Friday at home against Ashbrook. In a recent win against Burns, he had to leave the mound after facing just four batters and has been dealing with a minor arm problem. But Coach Matt Bridges decided to start him and limit his pitch count Friday, and he responded well. He reached his 60-pitch count after retiring the leadoff batter in the fourth inning. He gave up three hits and struck
Kings Mountain’s Daniel Barrett rounds third and heads home on a hit by a teammate in Friday’s game with Ashbrook at KM’s Lancaster Field.

It can be a business advertisement, in memory of someone, in honor of someone, anniversary, etc. The sign will be displayed on the front lawn of KMCC. The tournament organizers, Stoney and Peggy Jackson, are the backbone of the tournament with countless hours of hard work and organization done with excellence. “Stoney and Peggy also maintain our feeding ministry with faithfulness and servant hood,” says Pastor Robert Eng, senior pastor of New Life Family Worship Center. The generous contributions from golfers and sponsors have made the past six tournaments a huge success. Proceeds have helped build a church in
out four to pick up his first victory. William Ruffalo worked 2.2 innings in relief, giving up six hits and fanning five and working out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth. Grooms came on to pitch the final inning. He walked three but also struck out three. The Mountaineers led all the way, scoring twice in the first on singles by Logan Stevens and Alex Reynolds and Landon Bolin’s infield out; and then breaking the game open with four in the second. Ashbrook had cut the margin to 21 in the top of the second on John Bradshaw’s RBI double to left field. KM sent eight men to the plate in the bottom of the inning, getting five of their ten hits for the game. Alex Grooms led off with a double to right-center and Colby Crisp singled to left. Cameron Bullock plated both runners with a single to center and Daniel Barrett’s RBI double made the score 5-1. After Stevens walked, Sellers ripped a double to left-center to put the Mountaineers up 6-1. Kings Mountain stretched its lead to 8-1 in the fourth. Bullock singled and Barrett and Stevens were hit by pitches to load the bases. Bullock scored when a third strike to Sellers got past the Ashbrook catcher, and Reynolds followed with a sacrifice fly to center to plate the eighth run. The Mountaineers loaded the bases with one out in the fifth on singles by Ruffalo and Crisp and a walk to Bullock, but Ashbrook relief man Ben Palmer got Barrett on a pop-up behind the plate and Stevens on a fly ball to center to get out of the jam. Ashbrook tacked on its final run in the top of the sixth on a walk, hit batsman and single by Sparrow. The Green Wave left the bases loaded in each of the final two innings.
Hendersonville, NC and Guyana, South America. In addition, contributions have helped build a Bible college and secondary school in Africa, feed needy children, and host evangelical crusades throughout the world.

The 8th grade students of Kings Mountain Middle School had the chance to meet and interact with several different people from various careers at their Career Day on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Twenty-six different professionals presented programs to the 8th grade classes throughout the day for a total of 104 different sessions. Students were able to hear first hand from people in the “real world” about what they actually do in their career and how education helped them get to where they are today. The students were engaged as they listened to the presenters’ experiences. They asked many questions and received answers about what they can start doing now to prepare for their futures. One of the speakers who held the students spellbound was Robert Helton, Assistant Chief of Police for the city of Gastonia. He talked about the history of police work in his family, going all the way back to his great-grandfather. Helton began his police career at the age of 20, and recalled that he had to have another officer purchase his bullets because he was not old enough to buy them. He emphasized the importance of education in the police world, stating that all officers hired in Gastonia now are required to have a fouryear degree. When asked why he originally wanted to
be a police officer, Helton said that it was the excitement. He said that the motto, “We are here to protect and serve” is the reason he has been in the profession for 27 years. “It feels good to protect and help others,” Helton told the students. Katrina Cochran, an ER nurse at Cleveland Regional Hospital was another professional who held the students’ attention. She pointed out the different levels of nursing degrees, how many years it took to obtain the degrees, and the difference in the pay levels in the different degrees. Cochran also explained the duties that each level of nursing could perform. The students enjoyed learning about the Lifepak 10, a defibrillator/monitor/pacemaker device. Ms. Cochran chose random students to interact with her by allowing her to demonstrate the Lifepak 10 on them. The students were given a copy of the results which they could take home and tell about the experience. Maury Williams and Sean Daily represented the Army National Guard. In various classes, they presented teacher-chosen students with awards for displaying the seven Army values as they would apply in school: Loyalty – Bear true faith and allegiance to the US Constitution, the US Army, your unit, and other soldiers, Duty – Fulfill your obligations, Respect – Treat
people as they should be treated, Selfless Service – Put the welfare of the nation, the US Army, and your subordinates before your own, Honor – Live up to US Army values, Integrity – Do what’s right, legally and morally, and Personal Courage – Face fear, danger, or adversity (physical or moral). There were other representatives from different walks of life such as computer technology, nurse practioner, pharmacist, and firemen. The day was a great success in helping students to be better prepared as they continue to build their futures.
Ruth Fuller, custodian at Kings Mountain High School since last August, was recently selected as Custodian of the Month for “exceptional work ethic, attitude of service and attention to detail.” Married to Robert Fuller, they have four children and nine grandchildren.

AG announces student contest to fight prescription drug abuse Prescription drugs are 2nd most abused drug among teens
Students in Ann Smith’s first grade class recently read the story, My Robot, by Eve Bunting. The story is about a little boy who receives a robot for his birthday. The robot does many things for the boy, but the best thing the robot can do is to be his friend. The boys and girls colored a picture of a robot, wrote a story about a robot, and constructed their own robot. Seated L to R, Cole McKenzie and Desaray Richards. Kneeling L to R, Lucas Bradley and Canyon Evans.
North Carolina high school students can help fight prescription drug abuse and overdose deaths by entering a video contest sponsored by Attorney General Roy Cooper and the NC Department of Justice. To educate young people about the dangers of prescription drug abuse, Cooper is partnering with the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators, the North Carolina Parent Resource Center, and the Governor’s Institute on Substance Abuse to sponsor a student video competition. Cooper is asking students to create public service announcement videos on the topic of teen prescription drug abuse. All students enrolled in grades nine through 12 in North Carolina are eligible to enter. “Prescription drug abuse is a silent killer that’s on the rise, especially among young people,� Cooper said. “We’re asking students to help us fight this epidemic.� More than 130 students entered the contest last year. Last year’s winning videos are available online at ncdoj.gov and YouTube. Data from North Carolina and other states demonstrate that prescription drugs kill more people than illegal drugs (See HHS 2007 Study –The Burden of Unintentional Poisoning in NC). Approximately 1,000 people died in North Carolina last year from overdosing on prescription drugs, according to preliminary data from the NC Division of Public Health. Nationwide, fatal drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death due to unintentional injury, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The intentional abuse of prescription pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and sedatives to get high is a growing concern, par-
ticularly among teens. Among people ages 12-17, prescription drugs are now the second most abused drug, behind marijuana. Though overall teen drug use is down nationwide, there are troubling signs that teens view abusing prescription drugs as safer than illegal drugs. “Young people need to know that prescription drugs can be every bit as dangerous as street drugs when you misuse them,� Cooper said. “By participating in the Stop Rx Abuse contest, students can educate each other about the dangers of prescription drug abuse and hopefully prevent tragic overdose deaths.� The student video competition runs through April 26. More details including the contest application are available atncdoj.gov. Information on the contest has also been sent to high school principals statewide. The student whose video is judged to be the best will win an Apple iPad, and the runners-up will receive an iPod Touch and an iTunes gift card. The winning video will also be featured on the website for the NC Department of Justice. To participate in the contest: 1. Produce an original video and upload it to YouTube. 2. Send an email to stoprxabuse @ncdoj.gov that includes a link to the video, your name, grade level, and school name. 3. Complete the application and release form (available at www.ncdoj.gov) and mail it along with a transcript of the video to: Prescription Drug Abuse PSA Competition; NC Department of Justice; 9001 Mail Service Center; Raleigh, NC 27699-9001.
Grover Elementary Kindergarten was recently the location for the marriage of the letters Q and U! Students learned these letters are always together in a word. Boys dressed up for the day as quarterbacks and girls as queens. Rev. John Sloan, pastor of First Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, performed the wedding ceremony. A reception was held for all.
