War in Afghanistan Hits Home First soldier from Kings Mountain dies of injuries in combat ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
SPC JAMES JUSTICE
"Over here there's no life," the last words of E/5 James Justice to his father from Afghanistan. The 21-year-old soldier, who died of injuries from small arms fire in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, penned his own epitaph. "Let people know to appreciate the freedom and the life they have in America and be proud." Justin's wife, the former Sissy Shronce of Grover, decided that her husband's mission of saving lives should be continued after his death as an organ donor. His lungs and heart may be

given to other wounded soldiers in Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany where James died. This was Justices' first tour in Afghanistan after joining the US Army Infantry at age 18. He had been in Afghanistan only 30 days and spoke to his parents, Randall and Melissa Justice, in Cherryville via Skype two days before he was shot in the neck. He was in a coma two days before he died Aug. 17. Randall Justice got a call from an Army doctor in Germany last week, 30 minutes before he was to depart to Germany to be at his son's bedside. The doctor reported to the grieving family there was no brain activity.
Saturday the Justices boarded a plane for Maryland where they joined their daughter-inlaw and grandchildren Harley, Laura and Bre'onng for memorial services Sunday. The family returned home during the weekend to make funeral and burial preparations expected to be held in Kings Mountain, his sister, Lisa Bolton said. "My brother lived the Army and loved it, volunteering to go to Afghanistan," said Lisa who described her brother as "full of smiles, everyone loved him, funny, outgoing and athletic." See JUSTICE, 5A

Faunce Properties' request for rezoning a lot at 813 W. King St. from RS-8 to Residential Office is on the agenda for Tuesday night's 6 p.m. meeting of city council. Although city council has the final say there could be no decision if council agrees with the planning board's call to continue the pubic hearing until Sept. 11 at 5:30 p.m. After a lengthy pubic hearing last Tuesday by the planning and zoning board, David Faunce and residents from the West Kings Mountain Neighborhood were asked to get together and make attempts to resolve what has become a controversial issue. "I'm tired, I want you guys to get together. I've been here every time this rezoning has come up and it's time to resolve it," said P&Z member John Houze. Other board members - Phil Dee, Christy McLeary, and Jim Potter - also urged residents of W. Mountain Street opposed to the rezoning to meet with David Faunce and be clear about what they don't want to see on the property which now houses a day care center. "We have a list of some of those things you don't want and that's a beginning for your discussion. I hope you will have it together," said McCleary. Melvin Ware, a resident of the Antioch Community who co-owns with his sister their family home at 815 W. Mountain St., across from the day care center, says rezoning of the Faunce property will affect property values for his home and other nearby properties. See REZONING, 5A photo by KYRA TURNER
City gets new early voting site Kings Mountain voters will be able to vote early at an early voting satellite site at Boyce Memorial ARP Church on the corner of King Street and Edgemont Avenue. The Cleveland County Board of Elections approved the site made possible by a $2,000 donation from the City of Kings Mountain. "We want to make voting as convenient as possible for
our citizens,'' said Mayor Rick Murphrey. Election officials and city officials expect a large turnout of votes in November since voters will help decide both the presidential and gubernatorial races as well as local races including the race for three seats open on the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. Democrat Mary Accor and Republicans Ronnie Hawkins and Johnny Hutchins, all of Kings Mountain, are running for reelection. See CITY, 5A

Sons of the American Revolution meeting held On Saturday, August 18, 2012 the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) held an informational meeting at Resurrection Lutheran Church in Kings Mountain. To help support this effort, the Colonel Fredrick Hambright Chapter of the Daughter of the American Revolution (DAR) added their support to the SAR meeting. Both of these organizations share a common goal of increasing awareness of the Patriots who participated in the Revolution and in recognizing modern patriotism throughout our country. Representing the SAR was the President of the Mecklenburg Chapter, James H. Woods, along with several other members from Charlotte.
The purpose of the informational meeting was to educate interested persons as to what is required to become a member, in either group, and to further discuss if there is sufficient interest to form a SAR Chapter in Kings Mountain. President Woods shared that there were more Revolutionary War engagements in North Carolina than anywhere else in the country; and the area of Kings Mountain was significantly rich with Revolutionary history that is directly linked to many families in the area today. Persons interested in joining either the SAR or the DAR must be a direct descendant of a Patriot who was involved with supporting the efforts to establish

MEDITATION Standing on the shoulders of believers
Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church I grew up hearing about a number of great evangelists of a previous generation. One was a British evangelist named Rodney Smith, who was known to me by the name of “Gypsy” Smith. Influenced by his father, Ira Sankey, and by an encounter with John Bunyan, the famed author of “A Pilgrim’s Progress,” Smith was converted at the youthful age of 16. Young Gypsy taught himself to read and write and began to practice preaching, and was
August 22, 2012
known for singing hymns to folks – a quality of his personality that led to his becoming known as the “singing gypsy boy.” In the 1870s Smith became an evangelist with the Christian Mission (later known as the Salvation Army) having been noticed by William Booth. Another evangelist who was often mentioned in the sermons of my youth was a man named Mordecai Ham, who was an Independent Baptist evangelist and began his ministry with a radio broadcast. Having descended from eight generations of Baptist ministers, Ham reportedly claimed that from the age of eight years he had never thought of himself as anything other than a Christian. At the tender age of nine he had already begun to experience the sense that God was calling him into the ministry. Although Ham was significant in his own right, I suspect the one reason why he was lifted up to me as an example was because of his
connection to Billy Graham. It was the 1930s and young Billy’s parents had attended one of Mordecai Ham’s meetings. The preaching of Ham was so significant for them that Billy’s father claimed that Dr. Ham’s meetings opened his eyes to the truth. Despite his parents excitement, Billy did not want anything to do with someone known as an “evangelist,” and so he refused to go. Yet he later read in the Charlotte News of Ham’s charge that there were immoral conditions in the local schools, and Billy realized that this man might just know what he was talking about. The news report led to the plans of some students planning to demonstrate at the evangelist’s meetings, and it was this assertiveness on Ham’s part that attracted Billy, for he liked a “fighter,” who would stand up for what he believed in. Ham’s preaching so attracted Billy Graham that he felt as if he was hearing a voice other
than Ham’s – the voice of the Holy Spirit – and it drew Billy like a magnet so that even all of his father’s mules and horses could not prevent him from attending every meeting. What dawned on Graham during those weeks was “the miserable realization” that he did not know Jesus Christ for himself, and this led to his conversion experience and personal transformation. Growing up in the mountains of Western North Carolina, these were the kind of men who were often held up to me as models of Christian ministry. Although many things have changed over the years, and my own ministry has traveled in different directions, I thank God for the treasury of ministry that has been passed down to me. It is certainly true that we all stand on the shoulders of believers who have gone before, and it is a joy to know that we have the chance to pass this on to younger generations.

Charter bus available to attend Sept. DNC A charter bus will be leaving Cleveland County on Thursday, Sept. 6th, taking people to Charlotte for the last night of the Democratic National Convention at Bank of America Stadium where attendees will see President Obama accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for re-election to the office of President of the United States. The group will leave Cleveland Mall at 10 a.m., stopping in Kings Mountain at 10:30 a.m. at the YMCA, to travel to Carrowinds parking area. There they will
board shuttle buses to go to the stadium. At the conclusion of the stadium event, these shuttle buses will return the group to Carrowinds. Cost for riding the bus is $15 for each participant and should be paid to Betsy Wells. Each participant needs to go to BarackObama.com/communitycredentials to sign up for Community Credentials. If you do not have access to internet, contact Betsy Wells at 704-477-7024 or wellsbetsy@gmail.com
Forty-nine seats are available and they are selling fast, says Wells. “In 2008 in Denver, Colorado at the Broncos’ Stadium, seeing the thousands of people who came to see Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party’s nomination was an extremely awesome experience. I highly encourage the people of Cleveland County to grasp these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and go to Charlotte on Sept. 3rd and Sept. 6th," Wells adds.

JUSTICE: first soldier from Kings Mountain to die of injuries in combat in Afghanistan war FROM Page 1 Six feet tall with an athletic build, young Justice had blonde hair and blue eyes. All he wanted to do, said Lisa, was to protect his country. "His family, his
church, his country were important to him." Lisa said James came home to Cherryville in on Tryon Courthouse Road in April to see family and friends. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Air-
borne Brigade, Combat Team, Caserma Edrle in Vicenza, Italy where he and his wife and children resided. "We hear all the time that President Obama is bringing the troops home and yet soldiers like my brother are still being deployed," said grief-
stricken Lisa, "I don't understand." Local people knew James as "Justice." He grew up in Kings Mountain, attended Kings Mountain Middle School, Cherryville High School and was in the ROTC at Hunter Huss High School
in Gastonia. In Kings Mountain he attended New Beginning Church of Jesus Christ off Crocker Road. The soldier's wife and their children returned to Cherryville with the Justices to make funeral arrangements.
"We don't know how long it will take for my brother's body to return home, probably 4-5 days, but he will have a homecoming in Kings Mountain," said his sister.
SCHOOL: bells ring Monday as thousands of students and teachers head back for another year FROM Page 1 This year, 12 schools (the top 10 percent) are invited to submit portfolios to identify the best practices contributing to their schools’ successes. They have the opportunity to represent the state in the National Title I Distinguished Schools program and are eligible for Reward School Mini‐Grants, with a base allotment of $20,000 and additional funding per the school’s ADM (average daily membership). Lamanna said a key to East’s success is the commitment by its staff to help students succeed. East’s culture is one of team spirit and focusing on putting the chil-
dren first, he said. “All our certified staff members stay after school and tutor students at least one day a week during the entire second semester,” Lamanna said. East, Bethware, Grover and North elementary schools will be open 3-5 p.m. Wednesday for dropin orientation. West Elementary is set to be open for orientation 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday. Open house sessions at Kings Mountain Intermediate will begin at at 10:30 a.m. and at 5:30 p.m. for fifth graders and at 3 p.m. for sixth graders. Kings Mountain Middle will open their doors to all new and returning students and families at 10 a.m. and at 4:30 p.m. on Thurs-
day. At Kings Mountain High, where four-year graduation rates climbed by nearly 10 percent last year, orientation for 10-12th graders begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. First period starts at 8 a.m. Monday. Principal Ronny Funderburke will welcome 341 freshmen and a total of 1,270 students to his halls this year. Several new teachers are also joining the KMHS team: Sierra Martin - English, Tara Rhom - English, Laura Boyles - Math, Laura Chapman - Math, Seth Freeman - Math, Margot Plonk - Science, Drew Howell - History, Casey Shirey - Spanish, Maurice Tate - Business, Cindy Robbs - Art, and Rachel Bye - Exceptional Chil-
dren. Kevin Queen joins assistant principals Julie Rikard and Michael Morehead on the KMHS administrative team. "Our scheduling team has worked tremendously hard this summer resolving conflicts so most of our students will have the opportunity to take the classes that they signed up to take," Funderburke said. "Our counselors spend a tremendous amount of time with this task. Our teachers are wellrested and we are very excited to get a new school year started." Kings Mountain Middle Principal Dr. Brian Hunnell said he is expecting around 700 students this school year. Mrs. Mary Knight,
who will be teaching Art, and Mrs. Danithza Baker, who will be teaching Spanish, will join the staff this year. "We are extremely excited about the upcoming school year and we are looking forward to making this the best year ever at KMMS!" he said on Monday. "We are truly blessed with a wonderful staff and community." Classes at Kings Mountain Intermediate and North Elementary begin at 8 a.m. Monday. The school day starts at 8:05 a.m. at West, at 7:55 a.m. at Kings Mountain Middle, and at 8:10 at Bethware, East and Grover.
REZONING: battle between developer and neighbors to come up before city council Tuesday night FROM Page 1 "As if market conditions were not already bad enough, zoning the day care property for commercial use will only serve to depreciate home values making it all the more difficult to market our properties for residential use," said Ware. He added that commercial development in any form would be detrimental to the historic neighborhood and be the catalyst for further development in any form. Faunce has not stipulated how the property might be used under a new zoning classification. "This is a piece of property with unique interface," said Faunce. "I'm one guy trying to maximize my property and I want the opportunity for the best use and to sell and develop it. It's a business, there won't be condos, I wouldn't live in a condo if you paid me. I am not in this business to destroy a neighborhood. What will happen out there will be good for the neighborhood." Ware said R-O zoning opens the door to 48 new business categories including such things as barber and beauty shops, tattoo parlors, tanning salons, finance companies and even a
CITY: to get new early voting site at local church in October FROM Page 1 The local early voting site will be open Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. beginning October 29 and continue through Friday, Nov. 2. The site will also be open on Saturday morning, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The two polling sites on election day Nov. 6 are the YMCA and Mauney Memorial Library.
drug store, to name a few. Also permitted are a variety of office uses, which he said could result in a multi level office building up to 50 feet, apartments, townhouses and condominiums, the very last thing he said zoning in June 2000 was done to prevent. Mary Lillian Lewis Nance said she grew up on W. Mountain Street where her son, Lewis, resides. Both said that families vested in their homes, saying the rezoning could set a precedent, the values of property would decrease and people would start moving out of an area where a portion of West Mountain has been designated a historical area. "I'm against it, don't put apartments and condos there. People love this neighborhood," said Mrs. Nance. In previous rezoning of the same property, she said a total of 500 signatures against the rezoning were presented. "Residential Office is not as benign as it sounds because many uses are inconsistent with a residential, single family neighborhood," said Helen Hatch, adding the geography of this site is different from other sites on King Street because

of the way King turns and the streets come to a point. Mrs. Hatch says there's more frontage on Mountain than on King and the rezoning would allow heavy retail traffic entering and exiting directly on W. Mountain with lights, noise, and the view of dumpsters and parking lots ruining the livability of houses near the rezoned lot. Hatch says the uses authorized by R-O are even worse for the adjoining residential district than the rezoning requested on the four previous failed rezoning attempts. "The landowner is essentially asking the Planning and Zoning board to put money in his pocket - at the expense of the community just so he can flip this property," Hatch said. "This rezoning request is going to come up over and over," Phil Dee said. "We would be better to address it and come up with something that respects the property owners and acknowledge the site." Said Houze, "Change is inevitable. They (the property owners) want to know what's going on that site and they just need to get-to-gether."

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
KM running back making first varsity start ties touchdown record in win over Cavaliers photos by GARY STEWART / HERALD
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers entered Gamble Stadium for Friday’s game through a new smoking Mountaineer blow-up mascot which was a hit with players and fans. GARY STEWART Sports Editor
Kings Mountain junior running back Dashon Guest made his first varsity start one to remember Friday night when he scored all five Mountaineer touchdowns in their 36-19 opening season win over East Rutherford. Guest electrified a large home crowd at John Gamble Stadium, scoring five touchdowns which tied the all-time record set by Kenny Bell in 1978 at Burns and tied three times by Anthony Hillman during the Mountaineers’ Western Championship season of 1998. Dashing Dashon scored on runs of 6, 40, 8, 41 and 9 yards and finished with 210 yards rushing on 25 car-
ries. He also caught four passes for 74 yards. “Guest is a good back,” said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “He’s a strong runner and protected the ball. He ran hard. The line gave him some nice holes and he hit them. Our receivers also did a good job blocking downfield.” For the most part, the Mountaineers did well on both sides of the ball. The offense accumulated 317 yards rushing on 37 attempts and senior quarterback Jonathan Clark completed 13 of 19 passes for 218 yards and no interceptions. The Mountaineers scored on all four of their first half possessions, getting a 22-yard field goal from See MOUNTAINEERS, 5B

Mountaineers face “big” test at Burns Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers face a much tougher test Friday when they travel to Fallston to take on the defending SMAC champion Burns Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have won the SMAC the past two seasons and look for a threepeat. They fell to county rival Crest 14-13 last week but probably should have won that game as they gave Crest eight points (a fumble recovery in the end zone and a safety) and then failed on a two-point conversion try following their second TD in the final minute. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd is impressed with Burns’ size and speed and hopes his Mountaineers will be at the top of their game as they try to break a two-year losing streak to the Bulldogs. “They have incredible size,” noted Lloyd. “Their defensive front is humongous. They play very aggressive. Their run defense is very good, their free safety is very good, and they know where they’re supposed to be.”
The Bulldogs run a spread offense and their new quarterback, Chris Montgomery, looks very impressive. “He is a dual threat,” said Lloyd. “He runs and throws well. They have some very tall receivers.” Lloyd says the key for the Mountaineers will be eliminating big plays and executing on offense. “We had some mistakes on defense last week,” he noted. “We missed some assignments and lost contain several times. Speed is our weakness on defense so we have to take better angles.” Lloyd said he was happy with the defense’s aggressiveness. “That’s going to help us,” he said. “Offensively, we have to build on what we did last week. We have to take what they give us and execute. We have to be able to control the ball and put pressure on their defense. We can’t let their big linemen dominate.”
Former players to be honored at Mountaineer football games Kings Mountain High School’s football team is honoring all former Mountaineers at designated football games this fall. This is the 90th year of KMHS football. Five home games have been designated to honor players by decades. All former players, coaches and volunteers will be admitted free, be See FORMER, 5B MICHAEL ROBERTS, Kings Mountain High's all-time leading passer and total offense leader, was recognized as the Mountaineers' Player of the Decade 2000-2010 during halftime of Friday's East Rutherford-Kings Mountain football game at John Gamble Stadium.

Kings Mountain defeated East Rutherford 27-6 in its JV football opener Thursday night in Forest City. Sophomores Dillon Frederick and Raequan Allen had outstanding rushing efforts and the Mountaineers got a great defensive performance from numerous players. First year head coach Jon Fleisher saw his team move 21 yards in five plays to score after East Rutherford’s opening possession ended with a bad snap on a fourth down punt attempt. Quarterback Brandon Bell, playing his first football game, scored from four yards out on a keeper around right end. Isaiah Cole, who joined the team Monday after being released from the doctor after breaking his ankle during a summer basketball camp, kicked the point-after touchdown for a 7-0 lead. Dwayne Capps forced a fumble on East Rutherford’s second possession at the Cavaliers’ 13 yard line, and Dillon Frederick took a pitch around left end and covered the distance in one play. Cole’s second PAT put KM up 14-0. The Mountaineers moved on top 20-0 early in the second period after gaining pos-

Kings Mountain fell to Shelby 6-3 in its opening tennis match season Wednesday at Shelby. The Lady Mountaineers were in the match all the way. They split the six singles matches and were close to winning the #2 and #3 doubles matches before falling by close scores. “After winning three of the singles matches I truly felt that we had a very good
chance to bring a victory back to KM,” said Coach Rick Henderson. “I was thinking we would need to win just two of the three doubles matches but we came up short, losing all three doubles. Two of the thee doubles matches were closer than the score indicated. The same went for the singles matches. They were all close with the exception of the #1 seed.”

MOUNTAINEERS: have a night to remember; KM running back ties school’s touchdown record
GARY STEWART / HERALD
East Rutherford receiver Stamey is about to feel the pain of a hit by Kings Mountain linebacker Alex Reynolds (5) in Friday’s season-opener at Gamble Stadium. GARY STEWART / HERALD
FROM Page 1B Jeremiah Early for a 3-0 lead, and following that with touchdowns runs of 6, 40 and 8 yards by Guest for a 23-7 halftime lead. The Cavaliers were successful on just one of their four first half drives, with quarterback T.J. Watkins throwing a 13-yard tipped touchdown pass to Stamey. Watkins got the Cavaliers back in the game briefly when he rambled 61 yards around left end on the first play from scrimmage in the third period cutting the margin to 23-13. It stayed that way for awhile, but the Cavaliers were playing a lot of people on both offense and defense and they eventually tired. Watkins left the game midway of the third period with cramps and the Cavaliers had to punt from their own 31 yard line after Mountaineer defensive end Landon Keeter threw reserve quarterback Austin Hollifield for a five-yard loss on third down. The Mountaineers began to blow the game open when Guest broke through a huge hole on the right side of the Mountaineer line and rambled 41 yards for his fourth TD for the night and a 29-13 lead.
East rebounded briefly after fair-catching a kickoff at the 44 yard line. Edgerton broke a 45-yard run down the sideline before being chased down by KM corner back Tico Crocker at the seven. Kalael Hopper sacked Hollifield for a five-yard loss but McIntyre broke through the line for a 12-yard TD that cut the margin to 29-19. Kings Mountain answered with a quick touchdown sparked by a 22-yard kick return by Trevin Torres, who was tackled by the face mask and put the offense in possession at the 44. Guest rambled 19 yards on a screen pass, then tacked on another run of 11 yards around left end. On a first down gain of 10 yards from the 28, Guest was tackled out of bounds and that 9-yard half-the-distance penalty set up Guest’s record-tying TD, a 9yard burst around the left side. “It was a real good start, as first games go,� Coach Lloyd said. “It’s much what we expected. We executed good on offense and the defense made a lot of stops. We just gave up some big plays.� All three East scores occurred on, or were set up by big plays, but for the game the Cavaliers had only five plays to go over 10 yards. They were thrown for losses or held to no
King Mountain sophomore wide receiver Xavier Johnson (15) runs after catching pass during Friday’s opening game at Gamble Stadium. gain 11 times, including their first three plays of the game (a tackle for a six-yard loss by Alex Reynolds followed by tackles for no gain by DJ Moody and Reynolds). East Rutherford felt the pain from hard hits by the likes of Reynolds, Moody, Dion Murray, Jose Sappia, Hopper, Markel Hemphill, Donterius Simmons, Landon Keeter, Cody Griffith, Curtis McNamara and
Crocker. Reynolds leveled several hard hits to East backs and a bone-jarring hit by Murray on an ER kick return could be heard all over the stadium. “East Rutherford was about what we thought they’d be,� Lloyd said. “They have good speed and decent size. They have improved from last year and their quarterback (Watkins) is extremely fast.�

KM teacher wins $2K Unsung Heroes grant Meredith Alexander, a teacher at North Elementary, is one of only 100 winners across the nation, and one of five in the entire state of North Carolina to win $2,000 for an innovative teaching program in the 16th year of the ING Unsung Heroes Awards Program competition. She is now being considered for the top three national winners who will receive an additional $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000 to bring their programs to life. Alexander’s winning project, “Read and Ride,” incorporates literature and fitness to create a new and exciting way for students to learn. The “Read and Ride” classroom engages students in reading while riding stationary bikes. The classroom would be used for centers, accelerated reader time or as a reward. Alexander hopes the project will motivate students to read and stay active physically. In addition to reading and riding, students will also solve math problems and learn about healthy living habits. The project aims to increase student reading and comprehension scores as well as help them improve their focus and physical fitness. The ING Unsung Heroes® program strives to uplift, inspire and honor educators who are making a significant impact on their students and the educational experience in the classroom. Winning programs over the
years have exemplified teachers who utilize innovative and engaging teaching methods and techniques to improve learning for America’s students. Because many educators are often under-appreciated, underpaid, and unrecognized, ING U.S. continues to salute them through its ING Unsung Heroes program, now in its 16th year. As a benchmark, studies at another school showed that when students attended the “Read and Ride” room for 20 minutes three times per week, they had an average increase in test scores of 113 points of growth and an overall reading proficiency of 61 percent. Alexander, who resides in Cherryville, hopes her students will increase their exposure to daily, healthy living activities. “ING is proud of the hard work and dedication of all of our nation’s teachers,” said Maliz Beams, CEO of ING U.S. Retirement Services. “It is a privilege to invest in the innovative ideas of educators across the United States who are preparing our children for the future. We hope the additional funds Meredith Alexander is awarded through ING Unsung Heroes will help sustain her program and continue to make an impact on the children in her community.” ING U.S., a leading provider of retirement plans and programs for teachers,

Five local elementary schools are designated as Title I Reward Schools for being among the highest performing in the state.

identify the best practices contributing to their schools’ successes. They have the opportunity to represent the state in the National Title I Distinguished Schools program and are eligible for Reward School Mini‐Grants, with a base allotment of $20,000 and additional funding per the school’s ADM (average daily membership). East Elementary Principal Eric Lamanna said a key to East’s success is the commitment by its staff to help students succeed. East’s culture is one of team spirit and focusing on putting the children first, he said. “All our certified staff members stay after school and tutor students at least one day a week during the entire second semester,” Lamanna said. Fallston Principal Mary Frye cited numerous programs used to target deficiencies and intervene and improve students’ basic reading and math skills. She said student progress is closely monitored and assessed and best practices from proven instructional leaders are used. Both Mrs. Frye and Mr. Lamanna said their schools offer numerous recognition programs to encourage and reward

their students’ performance. Both partner closely with businesses, agencies and others in the community to provide for their students and their families. Both schools also promote parent involvement and emphasize parental communication. Title I schools (about one half of the state’s public schools) are subject to be categorized under three designations: Priority, Focus and Reward schools. This year’s designations are based on 201011 data. School districts that receive Title I funds must use them in schools where at least 40 percent of the children receive free or reduced-cost meals. Eligible schools may use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school. Currently all local elementary schools and Shelby Intermediate have schoolwide programs. Cleveland County Schools is to receive more than $4.7 million in 2012-13 that will provide reading labs, in-class and pull-out programs, preschool programs and parent centers. The Title I program provides funding for 33.5 teaching positions, 43 teacher assistants, two parent center coordinators and two assistants and three curriculum coordinators.
