KMHS seniors take diplomas plunge into summer and future DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Overcast skies could not dim the enthusiasm of nearly 300 graduating seniors who assembled Saturday morning at John Gamble Stadium to collect their diplomas in a ceremony that ushered them into adult life. To a packed and cheerful stadium, administrators and senior leaders said that the class of 2014 had overcome many struggles to get where they are. “It’s had its share of struggles,� said Maury Allen Williams, the president of this year’s graduating class. “It’s that strength that will carry on.� The awkward years are
KMHS seniors collect $2.27 million in scholarship funds! See the story on page 2B over, said Haley McDougal, the president of the Student Participation Organization, in her opening remarks. For class valedictorian Will Boyles, graduation day presented an opportunity to reflect on what made the class of 2014 distinct, and to riff a little on some passing fads of the day. To the delight of the crowd, he paused to take a selfie (a quick photograph taken of oneself with a cell phone) and comment on some of the popular expressions of 2013-2014, such as
“YOLO� (You Only Live Once) and “swag� (a current synonym for cool). “But hard work is not a fad,� Boyles told his fellow 281 seniors. “Do not listen to the naysayers – shut them up with your accomplishments.� Following a performance of the senior song “Maybe Someday� by the Symphonic Chorale Seniors, the proceedings got under way and each member of the class of 2014 stepped forward to collect his or her diploma from Principal
Ronny Funderburke, Asst. Principal Julie Rikard and Cleveland County Schools Superintendent Bruce Boyles. The ceremony was punctuated by wild cheers from friends and family members in the crowd as each name rang out across the school’s football stadium. At the jubilant moment when Funderburke pronounced them all high school graduates, many flung their caps and tassels far into the air. The field quickly became a flood of hugs – and some tears – as seniors looked ahead to their own futures. “I’m happy to finally get out,� said graduate John Clay, who wore the purple

Science-infused Summer Reading program begins Friday The Mauney Memorial Library is kicking off its Summer Reading program Friday with a full day of fun, including a puppet show, a Photo Booth event and a Story Walk. The festivities begin at 10 a.m. at Central United Methodist church across the street from the library, where the Red Herring Puppets will take children on an historical journey about the discovery of electricity and the impact it's had on human history.

The mayor will join city council members and staff members of the city’s Energy Services at a citizen fair Wednesday (today) from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Patrick Senior Center to demonstrate the new Smart Meter technology and to answer questions from customers. Visitors to the fair will be able to sign up for a raffle at a chance to win iPads and a flat-screen television. Officials will help those interested sign up for access to the information portal at the fair, which will also offer popcorn and cotton candy. Last week, the mayor, city manager and other officials of Red Springs, a small town in Robeson County, visited to check out the project and meet with Murphrey and a number of staff members from the Energy Services Department. Red Springs provides water and electric services to its residents and is considering adopting smart meters. The idea behind smart meters is to give customers as much current information about their usage as possible. Homeowners and business owners will be able to access daily and even hourly information on their electrical use. For water and gas consumption, they will be able to get information on a per-day
basis. For electric customers, smart meters will generate a bill projection based on current usage and usage patterns. Smart meters eliminate the need for monthly visits from door-to-door meter readers, city officials said. They’re also intended to provide accurate informa-
tion about outages and restoration times and to increase efficiency – letting its workers spend less time on the road reading meters and hunting down problems. To learn more about smart meters, visit www.cityofkm.com/portal.asp.
Mayor Rick Murphrey, left, showcases the new Smart Meter program with Electric Director Derek Edge, Town Manager James Bennett and Mayor John McNeil, all of Red Springs. The city officials from Red Springs review the advanced technology that will be available to city utility users.

Foster warns of dangers of dehydration ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
Collin Foster is a lucky young man. He owes his life to his friends who dragged the unconscious athlete from a pool Saturday during a graduation party. Foster, a rising senior at Kings Mountain High School, runs track and cross country, competes in triathlons and knew all about proper hydration and what he should do to maintain it – until Saturday. “I had been outside all day around the pool drinking soda and not a lot of water,'' said Foster. He became dizzy while playing basketball with his friends in the pool and started to see spots. That was the last thing he said he remembered before he passed out and went under water.
Dalton Cash, realizing that his friend was in trouble, picked him up and got him to the side of the pool where everyone else helped drag the unconscious man out. He wasn’t breathing, his skin was clammy and turning blue and he began to have a seizure. In the hospital emergency room he received two liters of IV fluids and a couple scans and was able to return home. "All of this happened because I was dehydrated,'' says Foster. Foster said anyone can become dehydrated and it can lead down some dangerous roads.’’ I am thankful for everyone who was present at the party and able to get me out of the pool and keep me from seriously injuring myself when I was having a seizure. Without all these people the scariest day of my life could have easily been the last day

â– LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor, I would like to respond to Matthew Messick's letter to the editor concerning our cemetery. To begin with, we have only three men to take care of our cemetery. They are continually cutting grass, weed eating and sowing grass on newly dug graves. My husband and I see this every day because we live directly across the cemetery. We have seen them dig graves for families almost every day, sometimes three at a time. If you read your paper, you know we have had many people to die in Kings Mountain and many buried here from other towns, to be brought home to be buried, lately. They haven't had a lot of time to do the small things, such as taking dead flowers from graves. They will get to it but instead of complaining, why don't you volunteer to help some time? This is a large and beautiful cemetery, and with as few as three men to take care of it, please don't complain. From my view, I think they do a fantastic job. Thank you for letting me give my point of view. Diana Hamrick Kings Mountain

Sheriff’s Office warns citizens to beware of scams The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office is warning local citizens to be aware of scams involving the elderly. In summer a group known as the European Travelers arrives in most counties across the area. These transient criminals are responsible for an overwhelming number of crimes and cost citizens an amazing amount of money. These groups approach people, trying to sell unused asphalt or asphalt sealing and other materials such as leftover paint and roofing materials. These groups offer to sell materials at a reduced rate because they purchased too much, and offer to asphalt driveways, paint houses or barns, or roof houses. The scam always asks for the person to pay them up front for the materials. The homeowner pays them and they never return or they start the job and never finish. Most often these criminals have left
the county before homeowners are aware they have been scammed. Sheriff Alan Norman would like the citizens of Cleveland County to remember a few things when hiring contractors to do work in and around your home: • Remember most reputable contractors do not solicit work by going door to door and they usually do not ask for money until they start the project. • Ask for references from the contractors and follow up on them. • Never allow someone you do not know personally into your home unless you invited them over to give you a quote on a project. • If you think what the person is offering to sell sounds too good to be true, then it is most likely a scam.

Plans taking shape for a ‘Revolutionary 4th’ Pirates’ Ball set for Thursday, July 3

Elisen to sing, distribute free CDs Marcel Elisen, 46, has written “Kings Mountain,'' a song to celebrate his love for this community. “I stay in Kings Mountain as much as possible, it's home,'' said the popular variety singer Tuesday morning as he was presented a key to the city by Mayor Rick Murphrey. Elisen will sing the song at the Revolutionary Fourth in Kings Mountain July 4 and will be signing copies of his CD which he will be distributing free to the public at the Revolutionary July 4th festivities at the Kings Mountain walking track. Songwriter and performer Elisen stands about 7 feet tall. A police officer in The Netherlands, he counts Police Chief Melvin Proctor as one of his best friends in Kings Mountain. Elisen and his wife visit Conda Myers, his ‘agent’ and her family
about three times a year and he always visits the Kings Mountain Police Department. “This is our home away from home,’’ he says. Elisen began his career in the early 1980s as an Elvis Presley impersonator but in the mid 80's he renounced his Elvis suits and in 1985 released his first single, “Rock Me.” His TV debut was in 1993 on “The Henny Huisman Show” when he sang the song, “Jacky” by Scott Walker. He performed with “The Silver Eagle Band” in Memphis, Tn. but his singing career was put on the back burner to his passion, painting. He creates paintings that are well received in the Netherlands as well as internationally. “I couldn't quit singing so I recorded a Christmas and country album in Memphis and 'Memphis Memories” was one of the songs I
recorded in The Netherlands in addition to 29 Elvis songs,’’ he said. In 2013 he returned to Tennessee and North Carolina for shows. The Kings Mountain Police Department presented him with a patch and he said he returned to his studio to write “Kings Mountain,’’ and recorded the song on a CD. “The people here are so special,'' said the artist who is appearing on June 27 at 7 p.m. at Gaston County Senior Center, Highway 279 Dallas and he also has shows booked in Charlotte this month. “There's just something about this place and I look forward to seeing many Kings Mountain people on July 4th,'' he said as he talked with the mayor, Chief Melvin Proctor, and Ellis Noell at city hall Tuesday morning.
As a prequel to the annual July 4th fireworks show in Kings Mountain, the Pirates’ Ball will be held Thursday night, July 3rd, the eve of Independence Day. “Pirates and privateers were an important part of the Revolutionary War, smuggling supplies into the colonies for the Patriot forces and also menacing the shipping lanes of the British Navy,” said Mayor Rick Murphrey. "These privateers were a big part of the successful outcome of the Revolutionary War.” Hosting for the fourth year, 238 Cherokee Grill is the site of the ball. “This is a great way to be a part of this huge event in Kings Mountain, celebrating our country’s independence and having fun doing it!” said Leon Camaj, manager of 238 Cherokee Grill, a sponsor for the evening’s event. A
Caribbean dinner special will be offered. Visiting militia groups expected to participate in this year’s Pirates’ Ball include members of the South Fork Militia, the Charles Towne Artillery and the 84th Highland Emigrant Militia. There is no entry fee for the costume contest and there will be prizes in two categories for best pirate's costume, 16 and under and Adult. Registration is on site with judging taking place at 7:30 pm for the younger entries and at 9 pm for the adults. Judging will be by the Revolutionary War militia members gathering in Kings Mountain for the historic colonial encampment during the “Revolutionary 4th” celebration. Entry forms are available at www.cityofkm.com.
Lauren Light to perform North Carolina recording artist Lauren Light and her band will perform at this year’s “Revolutionary 4th" on the Neisler Stage at the Walking Track Park. Light is a Lexington native whose soulful pop stylings have earned her comparisons to Fiona Apple and Katy Perry. She was named 2012 Best Rock Female in the Carolina Music Awards and was runner-up for 2013 Best Vocalist in “Yes Weekly.” She was also the winner of a local American Idol competition in Kernersville.
$120M budget approved Cleveland County commissioners approved the $120,039,139 county budget last Tuesday night, adding a 2% cost of living increase for employees, four new sheriff's deputy positions, money for Cleveland Community College and no increase in property taxes. The budget reflects an increase of $4,620,071 from the 2013-14 budget year. Commission chairman Jason Falls,
speaking at a state of community meeting recently in Kings Mountain, said that new industry, including the AT&T data center, Disney data center, Southern Power, Duke Energy and Clearwater Paper helped prevent a county tax increase. The budget includes money for the new county public shooting range and for upgrades to the county animal control site effective July 1.
‘Say Ahh!’ exhibit opens Saturday at KM Museum From doctors and dentists to pharmacies and folk remedies, the Kings Mountain Historical Museum exhibit, which opens Saturday, will celebrate the medical pioneers of this area. “Say Ahh.! The Incredible Medical History of Kings Mountain" will be on display until October 25, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The display will also highlight the evolution of science and technology in medicine over the past three centuries. Military and Red Cross medical history, as well as iconic Kings Mountain providers like Griffin Drug Center, Kings Mountain Hospital, and Baker Dental Care will be represented. The exhibit is sponsored by
Cleveland County HealthCare System. “We have had a great deal of community interest in this upcoming exhibit," said Director/Curator Adria Focht. “A lot of really intriguing, one-of-a-kind artifacts are being loaned and donated to the museum by medical professionals throughout the region and items are being selected from our collections that we've never exhibited before. This is a theme that the museum has not focused on previously. We think it will be exciting for our visitors to see things they've never seen before, things that are unique to this area and speak to our special place in history." The museum will present two programs in conjunction
with this exhibition. Kay K. Moss will lecture and sign her books on “Southern Folk Medicine” on July 9 at 5:30 p.m. and “Zombie Prep” on August 9 at 6:30 p.m., is a campfire program about real-life historical pandemics that contributed to the zombie culture. Participants will learn how prepping for a zombie apocalypse can help your family be prepared for more likely disasters like severe weather, epidemics, fires, earthquakes and terrorist attacks. The program is intended to promote awareness of the museum's new emergency plan with a fun, family-friendly event. There is no admission charge to the museum and programs but donations are appreciated.

Dewey Davis’ business operates on a fairly simple premise. When ink and toner run low in printers, copiers and faxes, customers have two options. They can replace the cartridge entirely for around $30 or they can have it refilled for about $10. Davis provides the second option at Quality Inkjet and Toner on King St., which opened in May. Davis, who is also an electrician, has many of the most popular printer models on hand. That way, he can test and ensure that the cartridges he refills are working properly before handing them back to customers. “Our goal is to have no returns and we work really hard at that,� he said at his small shop last week, adding that the business has a money-back guarantee.
Working alongside Davis is his son Chris, a 2008 KMHS graduate, now a full time employee at the store. This is not the first time that Davis have been in the inkjet and cartridge refill business. He and several other family members owned a chain of the stores in Clover, Charlotte, Rock Hill, Shelby and Gastonia from 1999 to 2008. When the economy took a dive in 2008, the business was dissolved soon afterwards. Now Davis, who lives in Grover, is taking another run at it, in Kings Mountain. “This is kind of a testmarket for us,� said Davis, who would like to open more locations in other towns in the future. “We’re small and in the growing stages. We’re just trying to built it back up.� Quality Inkjet and Toner offers 10 percent discounts to churches and teachers.

The eunuch asked Philip, “About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?� Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripJosh Tucker ture, he proclaimed to Pastor him the good news St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church about Jesus. As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?� He commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. Acts 8:34-38 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen. In this section from Acts, we find an
Ethiopian eunuch reading the prophet Isaiah. The eunuch is curious about the scriptures and its interpretation. In verse 30, Philip, who has been led by an angel of the Lord to visit the eunuch, approaches him and asks, “Do you understand what you are reading?� The eunuch responds to the question, “How can I, unless someone guides me?� What a great revelation! It’s important to, first, understand what it is that God is calling us to do and how to discern and interpret God’s mission for us as Christians. And, second, it’s important for us to lean on the guidance and direction of God and others as we continue in our mission and in our ministry. The eunuch asks further, continuing his desire to fully understand the scriptures. The eunuch wants to know whom the prophet is writing about. Philip revealed the gospel to the eunuch and shared the story of Jesus Christ. How important is it for us to fully understand our mission, our vision for ministry and our purpose as disciples of Jesus Christ? Then, a little later in the story, the eunuch
asks Philip a very important question: “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?� The entirety of this story has led the eunuch to this revelation. He has studied the scriptures; he has asked for help and guidance in interpreting God’s word; he has heard the good news that Jesus Christ himself embodied; and now, he is asking to fully experience God’s love and the gospel. What is to prevent him from being baptized? The answer is simple: nothing! The story of Philip and the eunuch provides for us a model of how one might come to the faith and a model for how we might be faithful leaders in the world. It is my prayer that as we go about our daily lives, and as we strive to become better disciples of Jesus, we recall this story and the pattern of the faith it presents. I pray that each day God grants us the opportunities to go through the same revelations the eunuch did and that in the same way he leads us to help others to see the exact same revelations, all in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Stone celebrates third birthday Kipp Stone, son of Larry and Beverly Stone of Kings Mountain, celebrated his third birthday on April 29 and a Sheriff Woody theme birthday party was held Saturday, May 3, at his home on Brook Road. The party was centered around the outdoor cooking area with yellow table covers, cow print centerpieces, and bandana decorations. The many cousins, family and friends enjoyed Woody cake, ice cream and horse rides. The horses were the highlight of the party for children, especially Kipp. Each child received a bandana and sheriff's badge as part of the party treats. Rocky and Lisa Sneed, family friends, provided the horses as part of Kipp's birthday gift. Kipp has two older sisters: Kelton, 18, and Latham, 9. Grandparents are Larry and Gail Bollinger of Crouse and Bill and Sandy Stone of Kings Mountain.

Downtown blossoms City officials, staff, take the plunge! Have you noticed the summer flowers downtown? Main Street Director Jan Harris enlisted the help of volunteers and the Public Works Department in filling dozens of concrete pots with summer annuals. The first wave of colorful plants went into new pots on May 20 when 11 large pots (24 inches in diameter) and six small pots (19 inches in diameter) were set out along Railroad Avenue, Battleground Avenue and Gold Street. Last Tuesday an additional nine large pots were
set out along West Mountain Street and three additional pots were set out along Battleground Avenue. Two large pots were also added outside the main entrance at City Hall. Six more pots are being made and will be added to the downtown display as well. “I want to definitely thank the City of Kings Mountain Public Works Department and the volunteer who helped set out the pots and plant the dozens of flowering plants it took to fill them," said Harris.

What is the Cold Water Challenge? Mayor Rick Murphrey, Councilman Rodney Gordon, Police Chief Melvin Proctor, Captain Jerry Tessneer and virtually every city fireman and law enforcement officer can tell you because they took the plunge Thursday. It's a spinoff of the polar plunge most widely used by the Special Olympics as a fundraiser. The number of people multiplied quickly last week as well as donations to favorite charities. Those who got soaked by a stream of water from a fire hose on a city fire

truck made $10 donations to charities like Relay for Life but they, in turn, nominated a friend who followed them under the cold water and/or contributed up to $100, most 'calling out' fellow firemen and policemen and their families to all chip in with a donation. Several firemen jumped in the water last Tuesday at the fire department. Sheriff Alan Norman got in the fun but instead of driving to Kings Mountain to take the plunge he jumped in the cold water at a fire department in Shelby. Firemen made donations to the North Carolina Firefighters Foundation, police made donations to “Still

Rodney Gordon started the Thursday evening fun and charity event by calling out David Allen who added the names of Chief Proctor, Noah Allen, Vickie Gordon, Bobby Horne, Jake Allen and Scott Sanders. The mayor was called out by county commissioner Jason Falls, who took the plunge earlier in the week, and Murphrey called out city manager Marilyn Sellers, who elected to make a donation instead of getting in the water, and Ellis Noell, who was photographing the event.

Woman’s Club learns about Life Enrichment Centers Toni Camp, Assistant Director of Life Enrichment Centers in Kings Mountain and Shelby, presented the program at the May 26 meeting of Kings Mountain Woman's Club. Camp said that the adult day program began in 1980, named the Neisler Day Care Facility at Kings Mountain. The building is 14,000 square feet and the space is almost at capacity. The Shelby facility has moved into a 26,000 square foot facility to accommodate their growth. Hours of operation at both facilities are from 5:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday and the cost is based on individual needs. She encouraged visits from those interested in dropping in and learning about what the facility provides.
“Care giving is hard but with facilities like this persons can continue to live in the community and maintain quality of life and enjoy excellent programming and physical and mental stimulation and socialization," said Camp. The Home Life Community Service committee arranged the program and Jane Alexander presented the speaker. President Betty Gamble presided, Johnsie Reavis led the flag pledges and Betty Benton conducted a devotional, “Memorial Day.� Gamble recognized longtime member Karen Bunch who has been recognized as the top guidance counselor in Gaston County Schools this past year. Members discussed a theme for the Fall Festival in October and planned a
yard sale for August 16. Gifts for veterans at the VA Medical Centers have been donated and will be taken to the VA Hospital in Asheville. Hostesses for the social hour were Juliene Hambright, Kathy Falls, Karen Bunch and Arlene Barrett. The next meeting will be the annual picnic on June 28 at Lake Montonia.

CC HEALTH CARE RIBBON-CUTTING - City and health care officials of the new Cleveland County Health Care System cut the ribbon at the new care location at 2202 Carolinas Place, next door to Ingles Markets on Shelby Road June 3. Brian Gwyn, president and CEO, Dr. Neeraj Ashri of Cleveland Endocrinology, and Mayor Rick Murphrey participated in the ceremonies.
Heat stroke can happen at anytime A child died in Illinois from heat stroke and it can happen in North Carolina too. “These tragedies are absolutely heartbreaking and a reminder for all of us to beware of the dangers of leaving a child alone in a car,'' said Jessica Crawford, Safe Kids Cleveland County. She added, “Many people are shocked to learn how hot the inside of a car can actually get. And cracking the window doesn’t help. That's why Safe Kids is asking everyone to help protect kids from this preventable tragedy by never leaving a child alone in a car, not even for a minute. Bystanders can also help by calling 911 if they see a child alone in a car.” Crawford reminds that it doesn't have to be in the middle of the summer for a child to get overheated. Even with seemingly mild temperatures outside, the temperatures inside a car can rise 20 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. A child's body heats up three to five times faster than an adult's, making them more susceptible to heatstroke.
To help prevent these tragedies, Safe Kids, with the support of the General Motors Foundation, created Never Leave Your Child Alone in a Car as part of its Buckle up program, a national initiative established 17 years ago to keep children and families safe in and around cars. Remember to ACT, says Crawford. Avoid heat-stroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for a minute. And make sure to keep your car locked when you're not in it so kids don't get in on their own. Create reminders by putting something on the back seat next to your child such as a briefcase, purse, or a cell phone that is needed at your final destination. This is especially important if you are not following your normal routine. Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.
Stroke and osteoporosis screenings July 15 Residents living in and around the Kings Mountain community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Christian Freedom Southern Baptist Church will host Life Line Screening on July 15. The site is located at 260 Range Rd in Kings Mountain. Servio Manderochio of Holly Springs, NC attended a Life Line Screening and said, "I can't begin to thank you enough. The screening you performed save my life." Four key points every person needs to know: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability. 80% of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient. Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms,
and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Packages start at $149. All five screenings take 6090 minutes to complete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required. You may also visit the online press room located on our web site: www.lifelinescreening.com
Market Minutes with Margot
As the school year comes to a close, my mind turns to planning activities for the summer. One of these will be tending the raised -bed Margot Plonk Foothills Farmers gardens at Market KMHS that the Cleveland County Health Department built for the 9th grade academy. Students in my Earth and Environmental science classes planted the beds. Sara Pasour’s dad, Tony, a local farmer, donated the plants that we put in. Getting students connected to the community in which they live is a focus at Kings Mountain High School, and these garden beds are but one example of the ways KMHS students make a difference in other’s lives. The students involved in the project planted the seedlings, will tend the gardens, pick the produce, donate it, help prepare and then serve it as part of a meal to needy members of their
community. What better experience can we give our young people than serving a “Farm to table” meal that they grew, prepared and served to someone less fortunate? All produce picked from these beds will be donated to the Farmer Foodshare program, which is a part of the Kings Mountain Foothills Farmers’ Market. The idea behind Farmer Foodshare is to have a “donation station” to collect produce and monetary gifts at the market each week. Backyard gardeners are encouraged to donate any excess garden bounty as well! Monetary gifts are used to purchase produce from the farmers at the market, which helps us to “keep it local!” All this produce is weighed, tracked, and then delivered to the institutions in Kings Mountain that help to fight hunger in our city. The designated recipients are the “Community Kitchen” at Central United Methodist and Crisis Assistance Ministry. Community Kitchen
feeds a lunch meal on Mondays and a supper meal on Thursdays. They are always in need of additional volunteers to assist with cooking meals, delivering or serving meals. They also need extra help at commodity distribution times. If interested, call (704)7392471 for more information. Crisis ministry serves individuals and families residing in the Kings Mountain and Grover townships. They provide emergency assistance with food, clothing, shelter, etc. To volunteer with Crisis Ministry, call (704)739-7256. Farmer Foodshare will have a special fundraising event at the Kings Mountain Market on Saturday June 21st. There will be free popcorn and volunteers to talk to you about how you can make a difference in Kings Mountain! New vendors, including a wonderful new meat vendor from Lake Lure area, will be joining us possibly as early as this week. Blackberries are in, and Lineberger’s will be on hand Saturday to supply you with these purple-black beauties!
Owls to host Gardner-Webb event BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. — Gardner-Webb University invites alumni to connect with fellow members of the University family at the Forest City Owls baseball game Thursday, June 12 in Forest City, N.C. “It’s an opportunity for alums to meet other alums living in the same area to build relationships with the common ground of Gardner-Webb,” said Brad Vaughn, assistant director of GWU Alumni Relations. “It gives a chance to network for friendships or potential job opportunities, and it provides an opportunity to stay connected with the University, its events, and the campus.” Activities begin with an all-you-can-eat buffet from

6-7:30 p.m. at McNair Field, located at 114 McNair Drive in Forest City. Tickets are $10 per person. The cost includes admission to the game, which begins at 7 p.m. Alumni may register at gardnerwebb.edu/alumni-events or by calling 704-406-3862. The deadline to register is Wednesday, June 11. The Owls play in the Coastal Plain League, a summer baseball association that offers skills development opportunities for college players across the country. Gardner-Webb’s
own Mitch Warner, a lefthanded pitcher from Pennsylvania, is among more than 30 college players competing for the Owls this summer. Events like the GWU alumni gathering benefit both the baseball organization and the University, according to Owls General Manager Cory Dirksen. “It’s a huge win for the Owls because GardnerWebb is such an important piece of the community through the large number of students who want to attend and the quality of ed-
ucation that the University offers. There is a lot of pride among GardnerWebb alumni, and it’s important for us to have those alumni attending events in our ballpark.” GWU and the Owls will also partner June 27 for Faith Night, an event sponsored by the University and held at McNair Field. “That event will focus on faith activities and share our organization as a family-friendly entertainment option,” Dirksen shared. “Gardner-Webb is a great partner with us.”

KM provides training ground for elite runner DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Amelia Martin is probably the fastest runner in Kings Mountain you’ve never heard of. The 18year-old got her first taste of jogging in the local YMCA’s Jingle Bell Rockin’ Run as a 7th grader, and she’s been working on her skills – speed, stamina and pacing -- ever since. Two years later, she joined her high school’s track team and began making a name for herself as one of its speediest members. It was around that time that she also started running cross country, sweating out much longer courses and collecting prizes. Martin trained hard and pushed herself, eventually winning state championships in the 1-mile and 2-mile events. If the name and the face aren’t familiar, it’s because the brighteyed and modest Martin doesn’t live in Kings Mountain or even attend school anywhere in North Carolina. She does, however, commute three to four times a week from her Blacksburg home to use Kings Mountain’s YMCA and its city streets as her main training ground. Martin, and her brother and parents say they have found a second home in the local YMCA, after having discovered its familyfriendly environs about ten years ago. “We were looking for a Y that we could work out as a family,” she said last week before a workout that included the elliptical machine, free weights and some
Amelia Martin is owner of four state crowns in track and cross country. Martin is pictured above competing in a cross country meet this spring. outdoor running in warm spring weather. “This one does that more than others.” Martin got the urge to be part of some of team when she was about 12, and tried basketball first. “I didn’t like it very much,” she said. “I think maybe I’m not aggressive enough for it.” It wasn’t long after that she discovered running, and she’s been competing at higher and higher levels ever since. She actually put her feet to work for two different high schools in South Carolina. Because Blacksburg High School doesn’t offer a cross country team, she was able to join nearby 4AA Gaffney’s squad. They were glad to have her. She made the cross country all-region team from the 9th through the 12th grade, and the cross country CC all-state team from the 10th grade through her senior year. This past year, Martin traveled to Columbia to compete in the state track and cross country cham-
pionships. There, she came away with first place in two major categories, grabbing a victory and setting a personal best of 5:19 in the 1-mile contest and tying a personal best of 11:40 for the 2-mile event. And just last month, while representing Blacksburg High, she also garnered 2A state track championships in the 1,600 and 3,200meter events. Martin’s hard work earned her much interest in college track and cross country recruiters. She was sought out by the University of Mount Olive, Winthrop University and Anderson University. She eventually decided on accepting a full athletic scholarship to King University, a liberal arts college in Bristol, Tenn., because she was so impressed with the coaching staff there. An A student in high school, Martin says she plans on majoring in biology with an eye on becoming an occupational therapist down the road. For Martin, running is
probably the biggest one element in her young life. “It’s a confidence booster … and it’s just relaxing,” she said. Martin’s younger brother, Jacob, 16, seems to be following in her footsteps. Like her, he has run for his school’s track team and Gaffney’s cross country team since the 9th grade. Martin’s other interest include reading, writing and fishing, the last one being another activity the family does together. “We fish for anything,” she said. “We have a lake in our back yard.” The Kings Mountain YMCA, for its part, has been grateful to be part of her story. “We’re blessed,” said Kevin Osbourne, the Y’s ex-
ecutive director, referring to the Martins’ enthusiasm and loyalty to the local Y. A lot of people feel that way – that we’re a running community.” “She’s got a great attitude,” he said of Martin, whose family he has come to know well over the years. “She’s so humble. But it just goes to show you that good things do happen to good people.” “We have definitely gotten a lot out of it,” said her mother Laura Martin, who accompanies her son and daughter to Kings Mountain at nearly every opportunity. “It’s so family oriented and we haven’t found one like it in our area – it’s definitely worth the drive.”

"Muster at Kings Mountain" concert at KM Military Park Saturday The Kings Mountain National Military Park will hold a benefit concert in the amphitheater on Saturday, June 14 at 8 p.m. featuring David Childers and the Overmountain Men. Rain date is June 21. Proceeds benefit the Brigade of Friends, an allvolunteer nonprofit organization founded in 2000 to work with the National Park Service to provide support and funding for special projects at Kings Mountain National Military Park that aid in preserving the Park's cultural and military history, protecting the Park's environmental integrity, and enhancing the enjoyment of the Park by visitors and area residents. The KMNMP amphitheater seats 300; tickets are available now for $20. Bob Crawford was looking for a creative outlet aside from his work with The Avett Brothers band. Bob
collaborated with renowned NC singer-songwriter David Childers on what would become Overmountain Men’s first release, Glorious Day. Childers’s son and Overmountain Men’s drummer, Robert helped Crawford produce the record and contributed ideas for sound collages, and coming up with the band’s name. The band is named after the militiamen who helped American forces win the battle of Kings Mountain in 1780. Band members include: David Childers, Robert Childers, Geoff White, Korey Dudley, and Dale Shoemaker. “My goal was to blend history and music,” Crawford says. Both David Childers and son, Robert, have ancestors who fought in the battle of King’s Mountain. By day, David is an attorney in Mount Holly, NC where he helps clients with their Social Security disabil-
ity benefits. “We refer to the concert as a “Muster at Kings Mountain,” said Loretta Cozart, one of the event coordinators. “In 1780 our ancestors mustered forces to protect friends and family from the threat issued by Major Patrick Ferguson. This ‘Muster at Kings Mountain’ is designed to raise funds to protect the park and preserve its historic role in the formation of our nation. We are fortunate to have this event in early summer and welcome David Childers and the Overmountain Men to the Kings Mountain National Military Park. What we are doing this year is a prequel to the National Park Service's 100th anniversary scheduled for 2016. We hope to offer concerts and other special events in the upcoming years to support the National Park service in their effort to reach out to a new genera-
tion of Americans and encourage them to visit the park.” Cozart thanked sponsors Duke Energy, Representative Steve Moss, SC District 30, South Carolina Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, and Representative Tim Moore, NC 111th House District. Tickets are available at all Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce office in Kings Mountain, Gaston County Chamber of Commerce, Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce in Gaffney, SC, York County Chamber of Commerce in Rock Hill, SC, The Don Gibson Theater in Shelby, and from any member of the Brigade of Friends. Tickets are $20 in advance and at the door. This is a family, friendly event, so children 12 years and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.

Animal Control sees changes, improvements The start of the new fiscal year marks the start of new and exciting changes for Cleveland County Animal Control and the community. Effective July 1, 2014, Cleveland County Animal Control will be offering new extended operational hours. The Animal Shelter will be open Monday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Animal Control will also be partnering with the Humane Society of Charlotte to offer a new low-cost spay/neuter program called “Get on the Bus with Us.” The low-cost prices for the various services included in the program are as follows: Dog Services: Spay (female) $75; Neuter (male) $65; rabies vaccination $10 and microchip $20. Cat Services: Spay (female) $60; Neuter (male) $40; rabies vaccination $10 and microchip $20. For more information on the “Get on the Bus with Us” program or to register your pet, you may call 704481-9884, or e-mail animal.shelter@clevelandcount y.com. Also on its way is the elimination of the Euthanasia (Gas) Chamber. Effective July 1, Cleveland County Animal Control will no longer use the gas cham-
ber as a means of euthanasia in Cleveland County. Instead, only Euthanasia by Injection (EBI) will be used as a means of euthanizing animals. The drop-off pens in front of the animal shelter are no longer in use—this is already effective! All animals must be dropped off during Animal Control’s operational hours (MondayFriday from 10:00 am-4:00 pm effective July 1). Any person being the owner or possessor, or having charge or custody of an animal, who willfully or without justifiable excuse abandons the animal is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. Violators will be prosecuted—don’t be charged with abandonment! You can now be more confident when rescuing or adopting an animal from the Animal Shelter, that you are taking home a healthy pet. Cleveland County Animal Control’s Rescue/Adoption Coordinator is now vaccinating all puppies and kittens with the 5-in-1 (distemper combination) vaccine and de-wormer. The Animal Shelter welcomes donations to assist them with continuing to be able to provide these vaccines in an effort to make their sheltered animals healthy.

FOSTER: warns of dangers of dehydration From page 1A signs: Initial signs of dehydration when the body is depleted of about 2% of total fluid: thirst, reduced appetite, skin flushing, dark colored urine, dry mouth, fatigue, mild headache, chills, dizziness or feeling light headed. At this point simple consumption of hydrating fluid will generally arrest any further development of symptoms.
If the dehydration is allowed to continue to develop so that fluid loss reaches 5% of total fluid the following symptoms of significant dehydration are evident: decreased sweating and urination; increased heart rate, respiration and body temperature; extreme fatigue; muscle cramps, severe headaches, nausea and constipation; and tingling and numbness. At this point medical care and intravenous fluid are required.
When 10% of body fluid is lost immediate emergency help is required and in many cases this level of fluid loss is fatal. The symptoms of severe dehydration include: muscle spasms, vomiting, rapid pulse, dim vision or temporary blindness, painful urination, confusion, respiratory depression, neuromuscular seizures. Foster’s message to everyone is to stay hydrated this summer. Drink plenty of water.

From page 1A young he almost drowned. This trauma and the loss of his mother in the same accident has left him deathly afraid of water, although he has the talent to “divine” water. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best. He works as a me-
chanic for the boy's father. The town doesn't have a preacher and the women try to persuade him to preach while he tries to persuade the child to wash. When the preacher finally gets the boy in the river, the townspeople mistake the scene for a baptism. They descend on the event and, in the confusion, the boy drowns. Said “Variety” of the play, ''A
splendid drama by young playwright Jim Leonard Jr. with poetic as well as human feeling.” “The Diviners renders the humor of the hinterlands with staggering accuracy," wrote “New York Magazine.” Members of the cast are Jackson Champion, Jenni Hassler, Chris Huffstetler, Frank Lattimore, Trey Ross, Linda Nichols, Randy Whitworth, and Maddie Spurling.

From page 1A immerse young folks in a world of books, reading and intellectual stimulation to combat what educators have identified as the “summer slide,” an acute drop-off of mental activity when school’s out. “If they go home and sit in front of the TV, what happens to the brain? It veges out, too,” said Sharon Stack, the library’s director. “Then teachers have to spend a lot of time getting kids back on track academically and mentally. Just twenty minutes a day of enrichment activities inspire children to learn more.” This summer’s program is called FIZZ, BOOM, READ!, and it will thread science education through its many events, which tar-
get young children 6-11, teens and adults. The summer reading program is also partnering with the Kings Mountain YMCA, which will play host to Dive-In Movies on Friday nights. There, participants can swim under the watchful eye of lifeguards, watch a movie and enjoy snacks poolside to escape the summer heat. Other highlights of the summer reading program include a June 23 Slime Time provided by the Catawba Science Center at the library and a Walk in the Woods events about giant sea turtles on July 14. Another partner in the summer reading program is the Southern Arts Society, which will hold a pottery clinic June 19 at the Depot on Battleground Ave. to teach teens about the science
and art of pottery making. “It should be lots of fun,” Stack said. “It will introduce kids to science through art with the medium of pottery." The Kings Mountain Historical Museum is also getting in on the fun. The museum is holding a “Zombie Prep” event around a campfire on Saturday, August 9. Museum director Adria Focht will mix in the fun of zombies with the reallife history of some scary pandemics that have visited mankind. Students will learn how prepping for a zombie apocalypse can help their families be prepared for more likely disasters such as severe weather, fires, earthquakes, epidemics and terrorist attacks. The library’s summer reading program features a program every Wednesday at Central United Methodist
Church at 10 a.m. for children aged 6-11. With a continued emphasis in science themes, children will be able to explore such diverse topics as fire and ice, reptiles, fish and chemistry. Throughout the summer’s program, children are encouraged to earn book bucks, which they can spend in the library’s summer reading store. Participants can earn bucks by checking out books, finding the summer reading mascot from weekly clues, completing activity sheets and other fun tasks. “If you can approach it in a fun way, kids sometimes don’t even know they’re learning,” Stack said. To learn more about the free summer reading program, view a full schedule and register, visit www.mauneylibrary.org.

SPORTS Champion signs to wrestle Post 155 earns first loss of the season against Shelby for Belmont Abbey Kings Mountain’s Brandon Bell slammed a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning to give Post 155 a 2-0 lead but Shelby came roaring back for a 153 victory in seven innings in an American Legion Area IV game Tuesday night at Lancaster Field. It was KM’s first loss after three opening season wins over Burke County, Rutherford County and Cherryville. Shelby took command in
the second inning when Nick Hastings hit a grand slam. Kings Mountain managed just five hits for the game, with Jha’qui Adams getting two, including a solo home run. Starter Hunter Stinnett took the loss for Post 155. Kings Mountain hosts Caldwell County tonight at 7 p.m. Post 155 travels to Asheville Friday and returns home Saturday against Haywood County.

Coach White receives Long Leaf Pine Award One of the highest honors the governor can bestow on a North Carolina citizen, The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, was presented to Alexander County retired educator Richard O. White on Sunday afternoon, June 1, 2014. A contingent of former students, friends, and family, surprised White, who is affectionally referred to as “Coach” at his home in Taylorsville when they arrived with Nada Lawrimore. She is Governor Pat McCrory’s liaison for Northwestern North Carolina. Ms. Lawrimore presented the award to White after she was introduced by James “Burkie” Jennings, a former student and current county commissioner. White graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 1950 where he played football, basketball, and baseball. He was selected captain of the football team and served as president of the student body his senior year. He enlisted in the Navy and served on a destroyer as a radioman during the Korean Conflict. He met his wife, Barbara, while stationed in Key West, Florida, and they married in 1954. After his military service,
he earned his AB Degree in Physical Education at Lenoir-Rhyne College and got his first teaching and assistant football coaching job at Taylorsville High School. He later received his MA Degree in Education from Appalachian State University. He also coached boys and girls basketball at THS. At the time of the consolidation of the county’s four high schools in 1970, White chose to remain on the junior high level where he spent the next 26 years serving as teacher, coach, athletic director, and assistant principal. He taught at Taylorsville Junior High, Hiddenite Junior High, and East Junior High. “Coach” managed Northwood Swim Club in Taylorsville where he taught swimming each summer for 30 years. He is a member of Reformation Lutheran Church where he has served as Council President and taught Sunday School for 42 years. Several of White’s former students and players expressed their admiration of his caring and effective leadership and instruction. This included Mayor George Holleman and Alexander County Sports Hall of Fame
members Kay Wilson Hammer and David Elder. Coach White and his wife, Barbara, have two sons, Mark and Jeff. Mark, who is also an educator, lives in Greensboro with his wife, Jada, and they have one daughter. Jeff and his two daughters live in Catawba County. His children and their families were present for the festivities and hosted a reception following the award presentation and official toast. The award reads: “State of North Carolina, Pat McCrory, Governor, Reposing special confidence in the integrity, learning and zeal of Richard O. White, I do by these presents confer The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, with the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary privileged to enjoy fully all rights granted to members of this exalted order, among which is the special privilege to propose the following North Carolina Toast in select company anywhere in the free world: Here’s to the land of the long leaf pine, The summer land where the sun doth shine, Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great, Here’s to ‘down home,’ the Old North State!”

Kings Mountain walking track, beside the YMCA, will be the site of Well Walk 2014, to raise money for a deep well to be provided by World Vision. More than 80% of childhood sickness is caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. No other humanitarian intervention produces a more dramatic effect on life than access to clean water and sanitation. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and
their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. World Vision works to provide access to clean water in Ethiopia, Ghana, Honduras, India, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia. Clean water lies hundreds of feet below layers of hard rock in many communities. Children have no choice but to walk long distances to find water that is often dirty and full of disease. Along with poor sani-
tation, this unsafe water kills 2 million children a year. The public is encouraged to sponsor a walker with donations or obtain sponsors and walk. Make checks payable to World Vision or donate on line to The Deep Well Project (go to www.melodyhord.com for a link to our page on the World Vision Catalog Website) Sponsors are Melody and Rick Hord, Jennifer and Brenda Ferreira. Call 704473-1684 for more information.
