Two restaurants join forces Big E’s BBQ moving into 238 Cherokee Street downtown EMILY WEAVER Editor

Two popular restaurants are joining forces in Kings Mountain. To the delight of diners downtown, all of the favored dishes at Big E's BBQ will be served at 238 Cherokee Street Tavern come Monday. Award-winning chef "Big E" Eric Pardo is moving into Robert Bolin's 238 on Monday, bringing with him his smokers, mouth-watering recipes and seven employees. "All of the great food you could order at Big E's, you'll be able to get here. And this merger is coming without any layoffs," Bolin said. His restaurant was chosen as the site of thenpresidential candidate Newt Gingrich's visit to Kings Mountain because of Bolin's commitment to create and keep jobs in a county that has been rocked by high unemployment. Gingrich came near the end of April. The restaurant was packed.

$13K Schools’ audit finds $2K as only misuse ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

School bullies create misery for children victimized by their actions. That's why parents and teachers are taking a stand, school board members said Monday night. "Eighty percent of our students do what you ask them, 15 percent do it but need direction and 5 percent need mediation," said Dr. Stephen Fisher, Director of Administrative Services for Cleveland County Schools, in a presentation on the NC Bullying Law to the Board of Education's Monday night workshop.
Big E's BBQ is likely to bring in more crowds to mingle with the many regular diners already enjoying the home-style favorites served at the Tavern. "I think what our menu has to offer and his seems to be a perfect fit," Bolin said. The Cherokee Street Tavern opened in January of last year, as a second location of Cramerton's Center Street Tavern. Bolin purchased the business on Aug. 15, a day before Pardo's birthday. The two restaurateurs have been talking about a possible merger for several months. The move will allow Pardo the freedom to explore his passion in cooking, catering and competing in BBQ cook-offs, while Bolin continues to manage the restaurant. Pardo has continued to place in the top 10 for pork in every contest he's competed in since 2009. Last year at Gastonia's Carolina Smoke-off BBQ

Do you see the difference at the West Gold Street train crossing? The City of Kings Mountain, in an increased safety effort, has installed new "stops" to keep trucks from crossing the tracks. Orange barricades and posts that eliminate wide vehicles from crossing add to the "absolutely no truck traffic" signs already posted. The city will conduct a public hearing June 26 at 6 p.m. on whether to permanently close the Oak Street crossing a block away. It has been the scene of numerous wrecks by truck drivers ignoring the signs. After meeting with railroad officials, city leaders are determined not to close the Gold Street crossing.
An independent audit of the schools' books has found no additional purchases for personal items by employees other than those questioned in a state probe last March into misuse of over $2,000 in local funds in the school system's maintenance department. Martin Starnes & Associates, hired by the county schools at a cost of $13,000, has completed a "focused" audit and reviewed the procedure used and the findings in a report to the school board Monday night. The accountant said his job was not to express an opinion. Some of the expenditures questioned in the 2011 state probe into the system maintenance department went back several years, Finance Director Dr. David Lee said. "We have been doing what we needed to do," he added, referring to the audit authorized by the school board after an investigative report from the N.C. Auditor that found local funds misspent by some employees in the maintenance department. Since hiring the accounting firm to perform a "focused" audit, the board has hired a permanent internal auditor for the school system and budgeted $89,539 for the position, including benefits.

Public hearing set Thursday on KM city budget City council will conduct a public hearing Thursday at 6 p.m. on the proposed $34.4 million budget for fiscal year 2012-13. The public is invited to give input at the special meeting in Council Chambers at city hall. After a public hearing, the board is slated to adopt the budget, which is $211,000 less than last year. It includes a 3 percent across-the-boards cost of living raise for the 180 full time
city employees and money for three new programs as well as capital projects. City Manager Marilyn Sellers said at recent work sessions that the big obstacle in balancing the budget was the cost to the city for health insurance. Last year the city's tab for claims for health insurance was $30,000 a week. City employees receive health and dental coverage and spouses get reduced rates. The pilot programs funded in the new year budget include a "Smart Meter" program, which is expected to expedite utility See HEARING, 7A

KMH’s Class of 2012 is well on its way ‘Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning’ EMILY WEAVER Editor
Hundreds of loved ones crowded the home-side stand, overflowing onto the hills beside it inside of John Gamble Stadium Friday night. In silent reverence and in boisterous cheers they watched Kings Mountain High’s largest ever graduating class march onto the field. Dressed in caps and gowns of black, 325 seniors – 49 of them North Carolina Academic Scholars – marched to the beat of “Pomp and Circumstance” on their way, first to their seats and then to the bright unknown. “The fireworks begin today. Each diploma is a lighted match. Each one of you is a fuse,” said Chaney Barnes, president of the student body. These graduates were the first class to pass through the halls of Kings Mountain High’s Freshman Academy four years ago. These seniors garnered more than $1 million in grants and scholarships to further their education. Among this talented Class of 2012, lies great potential.

Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of unexpected fractures. Serious consequences can occur with some fractures. Causes: What Factors Create Strong Bones? Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease. It can be prevented with a healthy diet and staying physically active. What Causes Compression Fractures? Most spinal compression fractures are never diagnosed because many patients and families think the back pain is merely a sign of aging and arthritis. These weakened bones cause the spine to collapse. Overtraining and Osteoporosis: Is exercise ever a problem? When a woman doesn’t get her periods and she’s not pregnant or menopausal, she may be putting herself at risk for several health problems including thinned bones. Her lower estrogen levels can lead to osteoporosis, making it more likely to break. Prevention: Osteoporosis can be prevented. Exercise and a healthy diet can cut osteoporosis risk. Two dieteary items that can help are dairy products which are rich in calcium. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones. Vitamin D also helps your body absorb calcium.

The real enemy is subtle On my desk I have a small figure, which is about a foot high. It is not a figure of a person or a statue from antiquity, but a representation of the sort of armor that a first century Roman soldier would have worn during the time of the New Testament, especially in and around Palestine. The point of this little figure is not to help one understand the way Roman soldiers dressed, but to see representations of the pieces of armor that the New Testament writers had in mind when they talked about the “armor of God.” In Ephesians 6:10-20 we find a familiar passage that is commonly attributed to the Apostle Paul. The text falls into three parts: vv. 10-13, which emphasize the need to put on the “armor of God,” vv. 14-17, which describe the various pieces of armor, and vv. 18-20, which emphasize the need for be-
lievers to live in a constant state of watchfulness and prayer. Now the act of putting on this “armor of God” is the functional equivalent of doing what Paul says in Ephesians 4:24. In that verse the Apostle admonishes Christ-followers to “clothe” themselves with the “new self,” and it would seem that the instructions in Ephesians 6 are something like a stepby-step process of equipping one’s self with the tools that should characterize those who believe in Christ. Of course, even though this equipment is described symbolically as if it were pieces of armor, the text should not be read too literally, for the point is not the use and application of each individual tool, but the overall result of putting off an old humanity and replacing it with the new humanity of Jesus Christ. The reason why the “armor of God” is required
Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church
is because the ultimate foe of the faithful is not other people but the devil, despite the fact that the power of evil customarily works through human agency. The belief in spiritual forces being at work behind the scenes was widespread in the ancient world, but it was usually dealt with by embracing magic, resigning one’s self to fate, or joining one of the mystery cults. Even today it seems that there
are many strange ideas that dominate our popular culture and claim to offer the means for a full and meaningful life, but Paul argues that the only way to truly defeat evil and live abundantly is through a Christ-centered life. The fact is that the real enemy that we face is subtle and even we ourselves can be instruments of the evil one – even at times when we think we are being the most holy. Because of the subtlety of evil that so easily takes root in the human heart, we all need to employ spiritual tools like truth, righteousness, peace, faith and the word of God. Taken together, tools like these – much like the armor worn by a Roman soldier – provide us with the equipment we need to live the abundant life that was promised by Jesus. May God help each of us suit up as we should.

BC: A Tale of Two Classes; BCHS and BCECHS graduate together for first and last time FROM Page 3A graduates, the steps they took Saturday were ones of commencement. They’re off to conquer the world. It was the first and only time two classes of two schools held for four years under one roof would graduate together. “As the Class of 2012, we have accomplished more than what a transcript, Principal James Montgomery diploma or Grade Point Aver- welcomes the crowd. age can show. In addition to the education that we have acquired, we have also gained wisdom and friendship,” said Bessemer City’s Early College High School Salutatorian Victoria Ormand. The daughter of Mike Ormand and Peggy Lackey, Ormand graduated Saturday with a 4.37 GPA. She plans to attend Appalachian State University to major in Biology with a concentration in pre-medicine. “I encourage you to view graduation as what it really is, a celebration,” said Bessemer City High School’s Salutatorian Somer Victoria Picklesimer. “After all, today is no small accomplishment.” “Not everyone can be rich, famous or powerful, but oftentimes it is just the people who offer words of advice and encouragement that make the world a better place,” she continued. “Do what makes you happy and the rest will fall in place.” The daughter of Melissa Picklesimer, Somer graduated with a 4.62 GPA. She will attend East Carolina University in the Fall to major in biology and pre-medicine and attend medical school. Graduating with a 4.65 GPA Bessemer City Early College High School’s Valedictorian Franklin Andrew Necessary encouraged his fellow classmates to be great. “High school has given each one of us an opportunity to become great,” he said. “I am proud to have the privilege to say that this year greatness is pouring from this small town, from this graduating class.” “We are a small band of students from a small community who understand how to perform two important feats, that

He is the son of Bobby Necessary, Annie Stewart and Penny Cooper. Necessary plans to attend Western Carolina University to major in chemistry or pre-law with a political science concentration. During his senior year, he won the Star Student Award and several scholarships. “Our day has finally arrived,” said BCHS’ Valedictorian, 2012 Prom Queen and Carousel Princess Sierra Danielle Croft. “This is our chance, our chance to prove ourselves to Bessemer City and even the entire world…Motivation, determination and perseverance are all it takes to succeed in this chaotic place we call ‘society’.” Croft, who graduated at the top of her class with a 5.0 GPA, is the daughter of Jesse and Robin Croft. She plans to attend N.C. State University to major in chemistry and pursue a career in pharmacy.

markers I want you to remember,” said BCHS Principal James Montgomery in his address to the Class. “Your leadership has included over $4 million in scholarships for your class alone...Student achievement, as measured by test scores and report card grades, has improved in significant ways. Our athletic teams have claimed conference championships, coaches of the year, NC Final Four achievements and continued to set new school records in many areas. “You organized record collections to help the hungry, the homeless and those experiencing tragedy. When someone was in need it was you – the Class of 2012 – who stepped up and reached out. It is your heart that I cherish about you,” Montgomery continued. “It is your character that will come forth in those future moments where life gets tough and you choose to persevere. This legacy is a mark that paves the way for future classes to continue our journey toward greatness.” Montgomery awarded each salutatorian and valedictorian with a medal. After all graduates had received their diplomas, he proudly announced: “I give you the Class of 2012!” The crowd roared to life with cheers, applause and the bursts of air horns and green caps flew through the air.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Elizabeth Davis Baker, Valedictorian of Kings Mountain High’s Class of 2012, gave a stirring address at Friday’s commencement exercises. The following are her words. They inspired me and I hope they’ll inspire you. Maybe we should take a page from our graduates and remember to dream big and head for the stars. Dear Class of 2012, I hope you all spread your wings and stay true to yourselves as we enter this new chapter in our lives next year. Even though we are
going to look back on high school as the best days of our lives, we are the future. As we go forth into our college careers, I hope you always remember that today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Wait, wait, wait. Let me start over. I’ve used more clichés than a box of greeting cards. I mean, let’s get real. These phrases usually used at commencement ceremonies are little more than glittering generalities. What do they mean when they tell us to spread our wings? And a new chapter in our lives? I thought we were done with English class. This class is so much more than just a phrase that rhymes and looks good when people send a card. I mean, please. This class is dynamic, colorful and innovative. And those phrases are dull and worn out. Everything has changed since we started high school. The hair styles, the clothing and even the bands we liked, but the thing is most of these changes have been really good. We have been molded
into more complete people because of the experiences we’ve gone through in high school. We have been given all the tools that we need to succeed later in life. Everybody has that one class that they say they will never use in the real world. For me, it was definitely Geometry. But the thing is we all made it through those classes and they did teach us something. And no, I don’t mean that Geometry taught me SOHCAHTOA. I mean, they taught us perseverance and perseverance is the key to success. When I graduate college, I’m heading off to the second star on the right and straight on ‘til morning. Yep, you guessed it. My dream is to work for the Mouse himself. That’s why I take inspiration from the plight of the
wonderful and the powerful Walt Disney. Mr. Disney had his share of troubles during his lifetime, yes. Disney’s first animation studio dubbed the ‘Laugh-o-Gram Studio’, went bankrupt, but that didn’t stop Mr. Disney. Oh no. He moved to Hollywood, California, and his character ‘Oswald the Lucky Rabbit’ became quite the hit. But, once again, tragedy struck and Mr. Disney lost the rights to ‘Oswald’. And then, seemingly defeated, hopeless and really rundown Mr. Disney grudgingly created another character to replace his loved ‘Oswald’. And now Mickey Mouse is possibly the most recognized symbol on the planet. See BAKER, 7A

Hallelujah Acres moving to Gastonia SHELBY - Hallelujah Acres, a health and wellness organization, has announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Gastonia. The new 13,000 square foot facility is located in The Arboretum on Cox Road in Gastonia. “This is a strategic move that will place Hallelujah Acres in the primary retail and medical district in Gastonia while centrally locating the company within the Metro area,” said Hallelujah Acres’ CEO Paul Malkmus. The new facility will allow the consolidation of key operations and enable further expansion for the company’s future growth. “With the increased focus around the
globe on healthy living, Hallelujah Acres is poised for tremendous growth,” said Malkmus. “This move will allow us to meet that global demand, serve the health-conscious community in Gaston and surrounding counties, and provide greater opportunities to access the talent and resources of the Metro area.” Hallelujah Acres is currently located on South Post Road in Shelby, and Malkmus said those facilities, including the company’s health food store, will remain open until the move is complete in late summer or early fall.

Sky is the limit for Childs Army veteran graduates with two degrees in two years, unveils artwork to the world EMILY WEAVER Editor
In the wee hours of Feb. 26, 2010, Army veteran Carl Childs became consumed with art and the passion to create. On May 11, he graduated with two Associates’ degrees, one in art and one in fine art, from Gaston College. Every day in between and since, he has used his craft to help others. Proceeds from the sale of his artwork have fed children, supported libraries and animal hospitals, fought cancer and brought hope to the elderly and disabled people. “I want to spread my artistic message globally to connect communities, bridge cultural barriers and promote healing,” Childs says. Serving in the U.S. Army, he led Operation: Task Force Hope in a Mississippi devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The Rochester, NY-native, who resides in Gastonia, is well on his way in his newest mission. His artwork has been displayed in galleries from the Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain to Brevard Station in Stanley, museums, libraries and college campuses throughout Cleveland, Gaston and Mecklenburg counties. His online gallery (www.carl-sgallery.net) has been visited by more than 9,700 viewers in 30 countries. His murals grace the walls and ceiling inside of the Smithsonian’s Schiele Museum and a wall at Believe in Abilities in Gastonia. He has interned at Arts on Main in Gastonia and the Schiele Museum. With the sale of his prints,
Carl Childs, at the May 11th Gaston College graduation exercises points, with a paintbrush, to the Web address of his online gallery on his sleeve. he has held free workshops for artists in Kings Mountain and Gaston County. On March 23-24, he hosted a “2012 Scripture and Scribbles Artist Workshop” at the Kings Mountain Art Depot. “It was a chance for artists to hear scripture, make art, get an in-depth art critique and earn awards,” he said. But, he noted, that the class and so many other of his projects like it would not have been such a success without the help of others willing to lend a hand. Kings Mountain’s Big E’s BBQ and Pizza Hut sponsored lunches during the workshops. “Out here, people come together to make something happen,” he said. Childs added that it’s in every artist to “capture, share and enjoy some of the most fleeting moments in life” and to be a light in a world shadowed by darkness. “I am responsible as an artist to help facilitate the personal connection between the individual, the art and nature, reminding them of the positive things of life,” he said. “I was created to gather materials and forge them into
something awe inspiring and new. Additionally, I am responsible to promote, encourage and remind present and future artists of our duty to capture every moment or event possible.” After many 6 a.m.-10 p.m. days, working in studios and classrooms at Gaston College, Childs mastered two degrees in two years, helping his classmates along the way. His 9/11 G.I. Bill and a scholarship covered all costs of tuition and even offered him a little extra to live on. Over the summer, Childs plans to return to Gaston College to teach BATS (Business Art Tactics and Sales) to help other students increase their focus and set realistic goals to make a career in art. He is working on building a scholarship fund to help future students with art supplies. Childs is looking to attend East Carolina University in Greenville, NC in the fall to possibly major in printmaking with a minor in ceramics. He is also writing two books, one about being an artist and another about education and strategies on how to succeed. Childs has won two art scholarships and two awards for his first masterpiece, “Cantaloupe Sky”, and “Lion Tablet” – a 3D creation, he may soon gild. Recently, he submitted work in international competitions. For Childs, whose first solo exhibit showcased his paintings of the sky, the sky is the limit. “I know if I go in there with a plan and the right energy, I can do anything,” he said.

performances on the football field of John Gamble Stadium. All three names are scribed in the KMHS record book. Blackburn began the 2011 season as the all-time kicking points leader, adding 32 kicking points to his already record-breaking 158 career total. He also caught two touchdown passes for 44 points overall on the season and 170 for his career. Robbs, who was one of the team’s best linebackers but was moved strictly to offense starting with the fourth game of the season, set a single game record for rushing attempts. He carried the football 311 times for 1,428 yards to become KM’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2008. Crawford, who doubled as a safety and wide receiver, entered the record book by intercepting three passes in an early-season loss to Burns. He also broke Cedric Thompson’s single game record for most receiving yards when he caught eight passes for 205 yards in a regular season loss to Crest. Ed Hopper, Collins Pressley, Shelton Price, Quincey Toms, Blackburn and Robbs were all named to the All-Big South 3A Conference football team last year. Several talented athletes signed to play on college teams, including Dallas Conner, who will be playing baseball for Western Carolina University; Shea Cogdell, who signed to play softball at USC-Salkehatchie; Gary Bennett, who will wrestle at Belmont Abbey College; and soccer stars Breana Stevens and Mary Kathryn Pasour, who signed to go to Anderson and Phifer universities. With the help of talented seniors, KM High's Women's Track team won the Big South 3A Conference track meet this year, finishing with a 29-0 record. Volleyball star Nicole Ford was invited to participate in this summer's Down Under International Volleyball Tournament in Australia. Leading scorer for the Mountaineers, Tim
Hines, was selected to the 2011-12 All-Big South 3A Conference basketball team. Conner, the Mountaineer's only .300 hitter, was selected to the 2012 All-Big South 3A Conference baseball team. Breanna Stevens and Morgan Scism were named to the All-Big South 3A Conference soccer team. Class Salutatorian Morgan Weeks and Valedictorian Elizabeth Baker won close to 20 scholarships and awards to further their education. “When I graduate college, I’m heading off to the second star on the right and straight on ‘til morning,” said a vibrant and confident Baker. Citing Walt Disney, she added, “‘If you can dream it, you can do it.’” With a little bit of luck, a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of hard work, dreams do come true, Baker encouraged her classmates. “We have been taught that the true meaning of life is about enriching the lives of others. Now that we have learned much of the real life stuff we are ready to travel the paths to fulfill our dreams,” said Morgan Weeks, class salutatorian. “Whether we are pursuing college, the military or employment, we are prepared to face the road that lies ahead of us. Whether we will influence people directly or indirectly, we are ready to make our mark on the world.” Citing the class song, Jason Aldean's “Tattoos on This Town”, Weeks added, “the Class of 2012 is remembering the past, enjoying the present and embracing the future. Now is the time to let the world know we are here.” Gary Stewart contributed to this report.

Disney never ever gave up. He believed in a little bit of luck and a little bit of pixie dust, but most of all Disney believed in hard work. A brilliant master of witty epigrams, Mr. Disney once proclaimed this: ‘Around here, we don’t look backwards very long. We keep moving forward opening up new doors and trying new things because we are curious and curiosity keeps moving us forward.’ Mr. Disney also said, ‘You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth could be the best thing in the world for ya.’ I had braces for 11 years so we’re not going to concentrate on that quote tonight. Quite frankly, a kick in the teeth is the last thing I need. But really nowhere does Mr. Disney’s sentiment ring true than in this high school. Mr. Disney proclaimed the Magic Kingdom to be the place where dreams come true, but dreams are fostered right here in Kings Mountain High School as well. We have future doctors and star athletes, brilliant business people and expressive artists. I began to envision my dreams here at KMHS and I have been molded by some very special teachers, so thank you. But most of all, thank you to my Savior. I don’t know why He would choose me for this honor, but in my weakest moments He has proved His strength. He has shaped my dreams and ideals. As Rev. Billy Graham once said, ‘If I find in myself a desire, which nothing in this world can quench, than the only conclusion I can come up with is that I must be made for a different world.’ Whew! Now to the moment we’ve all been waiting for. I’m under no impression that all you lovely people are here to listen to me go on and on, and on and on. You’re here to see your loved one walk across that stage. I mean, who really remembers the Valedictorian speech anyway? So I’m going to leave you with one last cliché, but this one is for real. ‘If you can dream it, you can do it.’ Thank you, Mr. Disney for your clever insight. I just hope that one day I can say, not that it was all started by a Mouse, but that it was all started by a classmate of mine here at Kings Mountain High School. After all, it’s kind of fun to be impossible. Thank you.

At this year's Hog Happenin' BBQ contest in Lincolnton, Pardo finished in 6th place overall and brought home two plaques - one for 2nd place in pork ribs and one for 3rd place in BBQ chicken. Big E Original BBQ Company opened near the
edge of town at 717 York Road in June 2009. After the untimely death of his friend and business partner, Mark Beach, Pardo continued to run the popular restaurant while yearning for a place downtown. He found it at 238. "I'm really excited about the move. I've been wanting to come downtown," Pardo beamed on Monday. To make the sweet deal sound even sweeter, Pardo will also be getting a new truck with the move.
"We have purchased a catering and full-service food concession trailer. It has a full kitchen. We'll be able to cook anything onsite," Bolin said. Pardo, who grew up in the kitchen with his grandmother, says that he has pursued his hobby of cooking BBQ more than 20 years. Now, he looks forward to devoting more time to it…at another popular restaurant in downtown, in a kitchen with another talented head chef, Paul Zubel.
CCS: takes a stand against bullies; law requires employees to speak up FROM Page 1 That law, adopted by the N.C. School Board Association, says that any school employee shall report any incident of bullying or harassing behavior to an appropriate school official. It also states that a student or volunteer should report the incident to school officials. Under the Schools Violence Prevention Act, a school system can be liable for a bullying incident because students should be able to learn in an environment that is free from bullying and harassment. Fisher quoted a recent national survey in which 30
percent of students report bullying, resulting in kids dropping-out and skipping classes. "I think it's essential that we as a board address this issue," said board member Kathy Falls. Fisher said that bullying is one of the most difficult things on the surface to address because a single incident may not be considered bullying, it could be a harmless incident. Bullying, he pointed out, takes many forms: verbal, name calling, teasing, spreading rumors, hitting and punching on school yards, and the most recent form -cyber bullying on the Internet - which is difficult to monitor.
"We need to teach prevention in kindergarten," said Mrs. Falls. "It's really a society problem that the school system works hard to address," said board member Jerry Hoyle. "As leaders we have to demonstrate to kids how to deal with bullies and teach them how not to let bullies impact their lives," said board member Shearra Miller. Board member Richard Hooker said it's time that the board of education address this issue "to reassure parents and the community that we're responding accurately to types of bullying." Fisher said that school counselors provide anti-bul-
lying/pro-social classroom lessons throughout the school year. Bethware Elementary's first yearly lesson in guidance focuses on personal safety which addresses bullying and telling an adult. North Elementary students sign an anti-bullying contract that is posted in the hallways. Kings Mountain High School distributes a bullying survey to freshman for data, classroom lessons to address concerns from data followed up with individual cases where students disclosed they needed individual counseling. They also participated in Rachel's Challenge and counselors attended
AUDIT: reveals only $2,000 in funds misused at CCS FROM Page 1 An SBI investigation into the missing funds remains underway. The focused audit has centered on procurement (credit) card purchases from the school system's maintenance directors, as well as purchases from randomly selected maintenance department employees. In a report of findings to the Board of Education, the auditors said they sampled three years (2009, 2010 and 2011). They selected five months of procurement and logs (February, April, July, September and December) for testing and review supporting documentation for all purchases for that month for personal procurement card
use. The auditors noted that they found no transaction out of the 114 transactions tested that appeared to be for personal use or may warrant further review or investigation by management to verify if the purchase was for personal use. Auditors randomly selected five other maintenance department employees and sampled three years (20092011). They selected one month of procurement card logs (October) for testing and review supporting documentation for all purchases for that month for personal procurement card use. The auditors noted that they found no transaction out of the 56 transactions tested that appeared to be for personal use or may warrant further review or investigation by management to verify if

the purchase was for personal use. For all departments, auditors randomly selected 20 employees with procurement cards and sampled three years ( 2009-2011). They also selected one month of procurement card logs (March) for testing and review supporting documentation for all purchases for that month for personal procurement card use. Per review of detail procurement card logs and the supporting documentation they noted no transaction out of the 238 transactions tested that appeared to be for personal use or may warrant further review or investigation by management to verify if the purchase was for personal use.

Mike Harris named Kings Mountain High School women’s basketball coach GARY STEWART Sports Editor
Michael Harris has been named head girls basketball coach at Kings Mountain High School.
It will be a busy time this summer and fall for Mike Harris, who was named Friday to replace Amos Myles as the women’s basketball coach at Kings Mountain High School. Myles resigned his position on Thursday and suggested to Principal Ronny Funderburke and Athletic Director Dustin Morehead that they offer the position to Harris, who was Myles’ assistant in his first season as coach in 2011-12. Myles anticipates moving back to South Carolina after July 1 to take a job an assistant football coach in Sumter. He will remain with the KMHS football team through the month of June.
Harris said after he was offered the position, he thought about it overnight and notified Funderburke and Morehead on Friday morning that he would take the job. Harris has been involved in coaching for several years, working with youth teams when his son Cameron, now a quarterback at Davidson College, was playing on that level. He also served as an assistant coach under Monty Deaton at Kings Mountain Middle, but stepped away from there during the two years that his son was playing for the Patriots. He rejoined the staff after Cameron moved on to the high school level. Harris has also helped both the KMHS men’s and women’s track teams, concentrating on discus and shot
throwers. He said the offer at KMHS seemed like a good fit for him. “When I went to Appalachian State my intent was to be a PE teacher and coach,” Harris noted. “As it turned out I had a very good opportunity to go into business.” Harris inherits a team that went 3-18 last season; however, Myles’ intention going into that job was to play young players (he had six freshmen, five sophomores, and one junior on his roster) and build a program for the future. Harris says his plan is to continue that building process. “I met with the players Friday and all of them showed up,” Harris noted. “We expect to have some
more come out. We have added a transfer from Burns and we will be getting some players from a very successful team at the Middle School that won its conference championship.” With all that youth, Harris said the school plans to add a junior varsity team this year in hopes of taking the Lady Mountaineer basketball program to a higher level. Calvin Wingo, who helps with the coaching duties when he is available, will remain on staff and Harris has added Randy Drennan, who has been successful coaching basketball in the youth ranks. If they have enough players to form a JV team, another coach will probably be added.

Kings Mountain High football players have found out that it pays off to work hard during the football season, and in the off-season. The hard work on the practice field has resulted in the Mountaineers building one of the toughest teams in the area, going to the state playoffs in four of their five seasons under head coach Greg Lloyd. But they also work in the off-season to earn money so they can get a lot of “extras” that they otherwise would not enjoy. For the past several summers the Mountaineers have sold discount cards, worked the stock races during Speed Week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, hosted last summer’s High School All-American Bowl, and washed Cleveland County Schools buses to earn money to purchase extra equipment as well as things such as shorts, tshirts, socks, and cleats. The extra money also helped supplement the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club’s purchase of new football helmets designed to cut down on concussions. Part of the money the players raise is used to put their names on the back of their jerseys. The discount cards, which go on sale just before the start of the football season, offer the holder discounts or free items at numerous local businesses. During race week, 25 to 30 people take a day each working the five-day race week which includes the sportsman race, truck race, all-star race, 300 and the World 600. The Moun-

taineers have been doing that for four years. They put in 10 hours each day for a combined total of 50 hours. Beginning in July the players travel by activity bus to the Cleveland County Bus Garage to wash school and activity buses which are used by all schools in the county. Head coach Greg Lloyd said the team raises between $12,000 to $20,000 each summer. “We’re trying to supplement the athletic budget and Touchdown Club to buy some extras,” he said. “It has worked out real well. All of the kids are willing to help. We’re trying to pull our weight.” Players younger than age 16 cannot work at the speedway, but everyone has worked at least one of the fund-raising projects. “Everybody sells the discount cards, and most of them go at least one day to wash buses,” Lloyd noted. Lloyd said it took three to four hours a day for five days to wash 220 buses last summer. “After the last day we take them all to Love’s Fish Box to eat,” he noted. “Some kids want to go every day. We wash the buses inside and out. It takes 15 to 20 per bus and we do three buses at one time.” Lloyd can see that the work done in the summer pays off in the fall. “It promotes team unity,” he said. “Anything extra you do helps team chemistry.” Since football gate receipts funds most of the athletic programs at KMHS, Athletic Director Dustin Morehead is appreciative of the Mountaineers’ extra effort. “It certainly helps the total athletic program when our largest team makes that kind of effort,” he said. “It takes a lot of money to run the athletic program and it says a lot about the dedication of the coaches and players to raise that kind of money to get the kind of things they have. That, and the money raised by the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club saves us a lot of money to go to the other athletic programs.”

COACH: It’s going to be a busy summer and fall for new women’s basketball coach Harris FROM Page 2B Harris has scheduled open gym Monday through Thursday, June 18-21, from 6-8 p.m. at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. Any girls interested in playing basketball are invited to attend. Harris’ said his philosophy will be much like Myles’. “We’re going to try to emphasize more of a pressure de-
fense with more man to man to try to build our offense off our defense,” he said. “Last year we didn’t feel like we were ready to go to man as much as we wanted to. Offense was our weakness. If we’re not going to outscore people we want to play good defense to keep us in the game.” Harris said he and the Lady
Mountaineers will be very busy over the summer playing scrimmage games, going through mini-camp and putting in a conditioning program. “A lot of the girls will be playing club basketball and volleyball and will have to do a lot on their own,” he noted. “We will play together when we can and hit the ground run-

ning (when pre-season practice begins). According to NCHSAA regulations, the girls can work on basketball as much as they want in June and July but there is a dead period July 31 through September 14. Harris said he appreciates the confidence that Coach Myles, Funderburke and Morehead have in him to lead
the program “Since we’re not having a huge turnover of players, it’s worked out great for me,” he said. “There’s just going to be a few more people added to the mix.” Harris said KM’s leading returning scorer and rebounder, All-Conference Monique Petty, will be having surgery soon and will proba-
bly miss most of the summer workouts but should be ready to play when the season starts. “Coach Myles got the ball rolling toward rebuilding the program,” Harris said. “I will just try to carry that out to keep improving. Several coaches in the area will get phone calls from me to bounce some things off of them and get some ideas.”
