One-way street proposal tabled Concern from residents who don't like the idea of making a one block portion of Railroad Avenue and Mountain and Gold Streets oneway surfaced at Friday's 5:30 p.m. special meeting of Kings Mountain City Council at the Public Works Department.

Before the vote, councilman Howard Shipp said he had received numerous calls from residents. “I think it would be wise to table," he said.

And table they did. Councilmen Rodney Gordon and Tommy Hawkins made the motion to table all three proposals and the council was unanimous in its decision. Ward V Councilman Rick Moore was the only member of the sevenmember board absent and he was out of town.

Before the meeting Mayor Rick Murphrey said he also had received calls from concerned citizens. He said that a special committee had worked for a year on the project and had suggested that making the streets one way would be safer for pedestrian traffic and increase parking spaces. The recommendation by the committee was to make Gold Street from Railroad Avenue to Cansler Street a one-way street, Mountain Street from Cansler Street to Railroad Avenue a one way street, and Railroad Avenue from Gold Street to Mountain Street a one way street.

No motion was made to take the item from the table for more discussion or citizen input at another time.

Patriot Day 9-11 The community-wide Patriot Day service will be held Thursday, Sept. 11, at 12 noon, in front of Kings Mountain City Hall.

This solemn ceremony is an annual commemorative service for those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001 and also honors area law enforcement, firemen, and men and women in service.

The short program will include the presentation of the colors by the Kings Mountain Police Honor Guard, an invocation, pledge of allegiance to the flag and the singing of the National Anthem. Mayor Rick Murphrey will speak followed by a moment of silence and the memorial ringing of the Fire Bell. “September 11, 2001 was a very dark day for Americans and the world," said the mayor. “We will never forget those whose lives were lost and stand proud of our servicemen and women who continue to this day to defend and fight for the freedom we have here in America.�

City to begin repaving project ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

Good news! The city will start paving Mountain and West Gold streets from Phifer Road to Railroad Avenue and one block of Railroad from Gold to Mountain in the next two weeks. The cost to the city is $350,000, Mayor Rick Murphrey said this week.

City council at a special meeting Friday amended the city budget to finance the $350,000 cost of the paving because of all the cuts from water line rehabilitation. “It's the right thing to do," said the mayor.

Ward 3 Councilman Tommy Hawkins and Ward 2 Councilman Mike Butler,

mayor pro tem, made the motion to amend the budget which passed unanimously. The funds will come from the city's gas and electric funds and the Powell Bill, a state project to help with paving projects.

Water line rehabilitation is the first phase of a $33 million water improvements project for which the city borrowed money from the state. State Utility Contractors holds the contract at $5.2 million.

Workers were delayed 37 of 60 days at the start of the project in November 2013 due to bad weather. “Those workers were out in freezing weather working on water lines," said the mayor. “We are blessed to have utility funds in shape to borrow from," said City Manager Marilyn Sellers who said she wants to

thank the public for their patience during the water rehab project which got underway Nov. 11, 2013.

The mayor and all councilmen echoed her remarks.

An 8-inch line was installed and placed into service from Phifer Road to Goforth Street on West King, West Mountain and West Gold streets. An 8-inch line was installed from Goforth Street to Railroad Avenue, on West King and West Gold streets.

The mayor said other streets affected by the pipeline improvements will be the responsibility of State Utility contractors.

King Street will be repaved by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Market Minutes with

Margot

Fall is just around the corner, and unfortunately, that means that Foothills Farmers’ Market Kings Mountain only has a few more weeks until season’s end.

The market is scheduled to close on September 27 with a special Holiday market in November.

The market has seen some challenges this, its first full season. The street where our market is held has been torn up, dusty, muddy and bumpy, as many of our streets are these days in Kings Mountain. I think we are all ready for the water line project to come to a close. As market manager, I truly appreciate all the loyal shoppers and vendors who are there every week to support this market.

We have also been dealing with funding issues. This one could be a deal breaker, folks. Your Kings Mountain Farmers’ market needs some pledges of local support from individuals and businesses to be able to operate next year.

This market has been a blessing to many -through relationship building, community activity, a source of sizable donations through the Farmer Foodshare program to our local soup kitchens, as well as a traffic

Kaylee Truett, Kings Mountain High School senior, wants to join the Marine Corps after graduation next year. Her senior project ties in with her goal to be a Marine and she sought the advice of recruiting officer Gunnery Sgt. Anthony Green about her career plans and also her plans to sponsor a benefit Oct. 25 for Wounded Warriors.

Green, who joined the Marines 14 years ago, has been recruiting officer for five months in Shelby. A native of Charleston, SC, he talked with Truett about the various requirements and said one of the first steps is to get into a regimen of exercise to be in top shape.

He volunteered to help Green with raffle tickets to help raise funds for Wounded Warriors. The benefit will be held Oct. 25 at the Kings Mountain National Guard Armory from 5-8 p.m. and will feature refreshments and games for children and adults. All proceeds will go to the

Wounded Warrior project.

Truett comes from a military family. Her sister, Jade, serves in the US Air Force and is stationed in Nebraska.

Her grandfather, Lee Bridges, is a Viet Nam Army veteran. Numerous cousins in her family have served in the military.

Truett wants to major in criminal justice and would be taking training at Parris Island, SC. “We welcome young people who are interested in the Marine Corps at our office, open at Cleveland Mall from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. six days a week," said Green.

At Kings Mountain High, Truett is a three-year member of the swim team.

She has worked at Bojangles 18 months and she said Bojangles will cater the benefit.

Truett stands five feet nine inches tall.

She says she is excited about the prospect of being a candidate for the Marine Corps. She is the daughter of Tammy and Jeff Truett of Kings Mountain.

Cast members rehearse for a scene from “Liberty Mountain� and the battle at Kings Mountain that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War. The cast members must do more than just act.

They must become the people they represent in the story, with all their hopes and fears, triumphs and tragedies. Their job is to make sure the audience sees real people on stage, not just actors.

The rehearsal process makes sure that the actors have every opportunity to invest themselves in the story. It begins scene-byscene, with the cast talking through their characters, understanding their motivations, and then learning how they move about on stage, interacting with each other, and delivering their lines so that the scene comes to life.

When the individual scenes are in place, Caleb and the cast put them together and begin to run entire acts in sequence.

And in the final days of rehearsals, scenes become the entire play.

Behind the scenes, equally important things are going on. Costumer Katy Biser is creating authentic period clothing,

Years ago, when I was just starting out as a playwright, a wise director told me, “Always remember, it’s always Robert Inman about Special the auto the Herald dience.�

It’s great advice I’ve followed through my career, and it’s the advice we follow as we continue rehearsals for my eighth play, “Liberty Mountain.�

When the curtain goes up at the Joy Performance Center for the opening night Gala Performance on Friday, October 3, it will be all about giving the audience a memorable theatre experience.

A play begins with the author, imagining characters, putting them in a particular time and place, and crafting their story. But when that work is done, it’s simply words on paper.

The playwright’s job is mostly done. That’s when the theatre company – director, actors, and technical experts – take over and turn those words on paper into magic on stage.

The director is key, and we have a great one, Caleb Sigmon. He brings a wealth of theatre knowledge to the work, and energizes it with youthful creativity and enthusiasm.

Caleb is excited about putting “Liberty Mountain� on stage for our audiences, and communicates that to everyone else in the company.

The director is the general, putting his troops in the right place at the right time and giving them the acting tools they need, both physical and emotional. But no playwright and no director can be successful without a talented cast of actors, and there again we are mighty fortunate. It’s a huge cast - around sixty men, women and children – and that’s what it takes to tell such a sweeping story of America’s beginnings

Director Caleb Sigmon guides cast members through a group scene from “Liberty Mountain.� based on exhaustive research. Original music has been written and recorded. Lighting and sound effects will add another dimension to the process. Since this story centers on a battle, weapons – muskets, swords, bayonets, knives and tomahawks – will help complete the picture of 1780 for the audience.

I’ve never been prouder

of a theatre company than I am of this one. They are talented and motivated.

They come to rehearsals on time with great attitudes. They share my belief that it’s all about the audience.

And because of them, I know that audiences who come to see “Liberty Mountain� will be entertained, inspired, and deeply moved.

noted that the city still has old pipes in the ground in 50-60 year water lines but that scheduled work on main transmission lines are completed. “You've done a good job on sidewalks and curbing," said councilman Rodney Gordon.

Councilmen noted that new asphalt was laid on one street, then dug up because

of two leaks on the Mountain Street water line.

A second water main leak occurred in front of the Joy Theatre Friday afternoon. On Sept. 28, crews working on the main water line in front of the Joy on Railroad Avenue were held up when one of the pipes being replaced sprang a leak. Water crews fixed both leaks. No customer was without water.

Senior Advocacy Day at Senior Center DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com

The weekly Friday lunch at the Patrick Senior Center attracted more than the regular members.

In what was billed as a senior advocacy day, several members of the city council, Mayor Rick Murphrey and City Manager Marilyn Sellers were on hand to mix and mingle with the 40 or more seniors present.

Over pizza, salad and iced tea, Kings Mountain residents got to know their elected officials a little better. For others, it was a meeting of old, familiar friends.

The conversations among council members, city officials and citizens before long turned to the senior center itself, which is expanding. Groundbreaking begins Sept. 30 on several ambitious additions to the large facility, which is a frequent host to city functions, civic club meetings and others, such as this Saturday’s Reverse Raffle to benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum.

The library and exercise facilities are both being expanded in the project. The center will also see more room for the popular crafts classes the center already holds.

The city received a $100,000 appropriation in the 2014-15 state budget, which was passed in August.

“There’s more activity going on right here than anywhere else in town,” said Ward 3 Councilman Tommy Hawkins.

The mayor added that the growth and expansion of the center, which offers exercise and computer classes, represents the city’s dedication to its seniors. The senior center is owned and staffed by the city of Kings

Silas Martin is going through a transformation. In the beginning he really just wanted to grow his crops and provide for his family. A soft spoken, religious man, he aims to lead the quiet life of hard work and independence in 18th century America, a promising new world for the farmer and his young family.

But Martin, portrayed by Pete DeGregory in the Kings Mountain Little Theatre production of “Liberty Mountain,” isn’t living in ordinary times or in an ordinary place. Colonial America is changing and he finds his livelihood and his dreams threatened by dark forces and an imminent conflict that broods on the horizon.

“He goes through a very dramatic change,” DeGregory said last week about Martin, one of the central characters of the play about the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain, about a month into rehearsals.

“He starts out as mildmannered,” said DeGregory, whose past theater work has included parts in area productions of “Southern Fried Murder,” “Grease” and “Footloose,” as well as turns in some Shakespeare and plays put on by the Carolinas Renaissance Festival.

But all that changes in the build-up to one of the Revolutionary War’s most pivotal battles.

“He becomes … well, not quite a madman, but has the fire,” said DeGregory, who has more than 30 years

of acting and directing experience and has even appeared in the 2001 Martin Lawrence medieval comedy film, “The Black Knight.”

DeGregory is careful to avoid spoilers in talking about the highly anticipated drama set to premier October 3, but he does say that Martin’s character arc includes strong elements of revenge and the need to “right a wrong.” The Martin family, he said, is at the core of the play written exclusively for Kings Mountain by writer Bob Inman.

For DeGregory, who is 57 and serves as the Postmaster for Bessemer City, this is his first time acting in a KMLT play. He said that not only has it been a lot a fun, but also one of the “most rewarding” experiences he’s had in theater. “(Director Caleb Sigmon) has been like a breath of fresh air,” DeGregory said, adding that Sigmon has been ingenious in helping the younger actors get into the rhythm of the big production. “He’s directed before and it shows. He’s done his homework. He has a very good sight of what he wants to happen.” He also had high praise for Inman’s lively script.

“Bob has done a great job of writing,” he said. “It’s a great story and we think it’s translating well to the stage.”

DeGregory said that in rehearsing for “Liberty Mountain,” he been able to reunite with a fair share of old theater acquaintances, but that the majority of the players are new to him.

Senior Center funds approved Rep. Tim Moore (RCleveland) confirmed this week that the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center has received an appropriation of $100,000 in the state budget for its building program.

“These funds will help

contribute to the Senior Center's continued success and hard work in Kings Mountain," he said.

Moore, who represents the 111th House District, is also chairman of the rules, calendar and operations of the N. C. House of Representatives.

Members are served pizza and salad by volunteers at Friday’s lunch at the Patrick Senior Center.

Quote of the week

“

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work

to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. ~ Robert Kennedy

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,

When I read the following I found it to fit perfectly into reasons why casino jobs do not fit our City, County or people of Christian faith. Why is this unseen by our elected?

Here is a paraphrased excerpt from Henry, Carl F. H. Bakers Dictionary of Christian Ethics. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1973 Pg. 100 I borrowed from a NC Christian Action League article: There are at least three classes of occupation which Christians should hesitate to enter: (a) occupations dealing with matters that are likely to hurt others; (b) occupations not providing any useful service to society, and (c)

occupations which, though permissible in themselves, are harmful for the particular Christian.

Now for my remarks: On August 26th Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey and the seven Council members were present for the monthly Council meeting. As had been common for the past seven months there were citizens there to oppose a proposed casino in Kings Mountain.

This citizens comment portion of the meeting had a little different tone this time. A more diverse group spoke out against a casino. The Mayor was visibly uncomfortable during the session. So were some of the

council members.

After the first person spoke against a casino there was applause from the audience, over 80% of whom were there on behalf of the speakers and also against a casino. The Shelby Star reported the following remark by the Mayor: “I know that you all get excited about hearing the same thing over again, but this is a business meeting. Please hold your applause,� Murphrey said.

I, for one, was angered by the Mayor's remarks. Not because he didn't have every right to ask that applause be held, but because he was out of line when he made the comment about everyone getting excited about hearing the same thing

Labor Day, any day, count your blessings The average American is happy to have a paying job with the opportunity to make a little more money. Glenn Mollette Most Ameri- Guest Editorial cans would like to work a few extra hours when they could.

However, many Americans dream of retiring to fish, golf, garden or relax. Others enjoy working so much that they never quit. It all depends on the kind of work you do. If you are a coal miner, then retirement at 55 looks great. If the daily manual labor is not too overtaxing then many enjoy staying on the job.

Some of my dearest friends are in their 70's and still work five days a week and sometimes more. A friend of mine who manages entertainers is 78 and has no current plans to retire. Another is 76 and is out every day working for a large corporation. Both agree that staying busy has been good for their mental and physical health.

On the flip side of this are people in their 70's who have to work. Often they have jobs they don't really enjoy but without working some they could not survive.

Life would be almost impossible without Social Security and Medicare for America's senior adults. Most of our elderly would be starving or

homeless without these two government programs. These programs along with people working whatever jobs they can find, keep most of America's seniors off the streets. I only wish the money collected from people would stay in these programs.

Unfortunately, millions of Americans would love the opportunity to work through Labor Day and the rest of the holidays if they could find a paying job. Without an income it's almost impossible to relax and enjoy any day. On Labor Day or any day, count your blessings if life is going well for you.

over again.

About a week has passed since the meeting and I've had time to reflect on the Mayor's comments, without the unclear thoughts during anger.

The Mayor, does have a point, although I doubt he and I would agree on how I reached that conclusion.

Even though each of the speakers always put a great deal of prayer, thought and effort into constructing a message they hope will open the eyes, ears and hearts of the elected, they are essentially saying the same thing. NO! NO! Mayor and Council, you didn't speak for us when you said “on behalf of the citizens�.

NO! Mayor and Council, we don't want you to use our names in an immoral way.

How many ways are there to say NO? Please think for a moment: our government is supposed to be for the people, of the people and by the people. If that is true and we can't get those who serve us locally to do our will, how much harder will it be to garner cooperation from the state and federal level. Somehow we must once again come out as leaders of this country and the elected should serve us, not themselves.

frustrated with Washington.

Well, he is there and we are here. We can’t break the gridlock in Washington but Congressman McHenry can certainly speak out and vote to do so. There is an alternative to Congressman McHenry and his name is Tate McQueen. Tate doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on ads but he has a track record of serving his community in Asheville. He is a public servant and will fight for what is right. Just ask the EPA and CTS Corporation. If you wish to donate to his campaign, Tate McQueen requests that you take ½ of what you plan to give and give it to your favorite charity.

This is different. Tate McQueen is different. He lives and models the kind of behaviors we need to change Washington.

Homecoming Sunday at Westover Baptist Church

■MEDITATION “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.� Matthew 5: 14-16 Grace to you and peace from Jesus, the light of the world.

Amen I have the opportunity each week to gather with the children of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church Pre-School to have chapel together. We spend time praying together, reading a bible story and singing songs together. One of their favorite songs is “This Little Light of Mine.� I cannot accurately put into words the joy on the faces of the children when we get to the verse (and do the hand motions) that proclaims: “hide it under a bushel, NO! I’m gonna let it shine.� The children are so excited to exclaim that light is not to be hidden, but to be shared.

Jesus, in the fifth chapter of Matthew’s gospel, exclaims to his disciples and to us today that we are the light of the world. Light: it’s an important necessity of our day. We gain light by means of natural resources such as the sun and moon. We benefit from light through man-made electricity.

And we experience the light as we are around others who radiate such energy and passion. Light brings into view the

dark places and spaces as it showers them with its glowing warmth. Light brings into view the pain and suffering that we see in the world; pain and suffering that is in need of restoration, attention and love.

The last verse to that children’s song exclaims, “Jesus gave it to me, I’m gonna let it shine; let it shine all the Josh Tucker time, let it shine.� Jesus has given us Pastor his light to shine throughout the entire St. Matthew’s world. We are called as Christians to be Lutheran Church his light. To go into the dark places of this world proclaiming the glowing warmth of God’s love for us; to shine forth God’s grace and forgiveness; and to bring to light all that is in need of hearing the good news that Jesus is Lord. So let us go forth to be the light of the world, shining the light of Jesus everywhere. Amen.

‘Big Hearts’ blood drive at Senior Center Applications being accepted for Sheriff’s Citizen Academy

DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com

Joel Rountree remembers the first time he donated blood.

He was a freshman at Davidson College in 1967 and American forces were taking casualties in the Vietnam War on the other side of the world.

The retired National Guard officer and high school history teacher has given so often since then that he’s lost count, but he knows it’s well over a hundred. Rountree was at it again last week, joining more than 40 others in a blood drive Friday at the Patrick Senior Center. He said after the mandatory interview, the process of drawing blood can take as little as 15 minutes.

“I know I have the skills required – I can lie down and bleed,” he joked as a phlebotomist drew a unit from his arm.

“You don’t have to be rich to do it,” said Kathy Allred, who volunteers for both the senior center and the American Red Cross. “You just have to have a big heart. It’s the only gift you can’t go to the store and buy.”

Matthew Gray, 23, who read a novel in the Harry Potter series while waiting to be called for the interview, said Friday’s donation was approximately his tenth time giving.

He got started in high school, when a friend’s senior project dealt with raising awareness about donating blood. “It’s a way I know I can help,” said Gray, who is pursuing a masters in psychology. “It just takes an hour out of my day.”

American Red Cross collection specialists assist donors Joel Rountree (above) and Monty Thornburg (below) at a blood drive Friday at the Lawrence Patrick Senior Center.

Gray said his father also had an appointment for later in the afternoon. The senior center’s director Monty Thornburg could also be seen stretched out Friday in one of the Red Cross’ familiar donation chairs. “I try to give four times a year,” he said.

After a quick interview, potential donors are talked through the process, which extracts 550 milliliters (the equivalent of about a can and a half of soda) of whole blood from each individual. Blood is tested later at a centralized American Red Cross lab. A unit of blood has the potential to save three lives, according to Red Cross officials. The Patrick Senior Center hosts a

How to Get Social Security Benefits When You’re Disabled

Last year, around 3 million people applied for Social Security disability benefits, but two-thirds of them were denied, because most applicants fail to prove that they’re disabled and can’t work. Here are some steps you can take that will improve your odds.

line of work that you have been in over the past 15 years) for at least a year, or result in death.

There is no such thing as a partial disability benefit. If you’re fit enough to work part-time, your application will be denied. You also need not apply if you still are working with the intention of quitting if your application is approved, because if you’re working your application will be denied.

Your skill set and age are factors too.

Your application will be denied if your work history suggests that you have the skills to preform a less physically demanding job that your disability does not prevent you from doing.

To help you determine if you are disabled, visit ssa.gov/dibplan/dqualify5.htm and go through the five questions Social Security uses to determine disability.

The first thing you need to find out is if your health problem qualifies you for Social Security disability benefits.

You generally will be eligible only if you have a health problem that is expected to prevent you from working in your current line of work (or any other

If you believe you have a claim, your next step is to gather up your personal, financial and medical information so you can be prepared and organized for the application process.

You can apply either online at ssa.gov/applyfordisability, or call 800-

Dear Savvy Senior, What do I need to do to get Social Security disability? I’m 57 years old and have some health issues that are keeping me from working, but I’ve heard it’s very difficult to get benefits.

Need Assistance

The process of getting Social Security disability benefits can be tricky and timeconsuming, but you can help yourself by doing your homework and getting prepared.

772-1213 to make an appointment to apply at your local Social Security office or to set up an appointment for someone to take your claim over the phone.

The whole process lasts about an hour. If you schedule an appointment, a “Disability Starter Kit� that will help you get ready for your interview will be mailed to you. If you apply online, the kit is available at ssa.gov/disability.

It takes three to five months from the initial application to receive either an award or denial of benefits. The only exception is if you have a chronic illness that qualifies you for a “compassionate allowance� (see ssa.gov/compassionateallowances), which fast tracks cases within weeks.

If Social Security denies your initial application, you can appeal the decision, and you’ll be happy to know that roughly half of all cases that go through a round or two of appeals end with benefits being awarded. But the bad news is with backlog of about 900,000 people currently waiting for a hearing it may take a year or longer for you to get one.

You can hire a representative to help you with your Social Security disability

claim. By law, representatives can charge only 25 percent of past-due benefits up to a maximum of $6,000, if they win your case.

It’s probably worth hiring someone at the start of the application process if your disability is something difficult to prove such as chronic pain. If, however, your disability is obvious, it might be worth initially working without a representative to avoid paying the fee. You can always hire a representative later if your initial application and first appeal are denied.

To find a representative, check with the National Association of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (nosscr.org, 800-431-2804) or National Association of Disability Representatives (nadr.org, 800-747-6131). Or, if you’re low-income, contact the Legal Services Corporation (lsc.gov/find-legalaid) for free assistance.

Kids dig into science at KM YMCA camp

SHAWNA JACKSON - RYAN SHEFFLER

Jackson, Sheffler engagement announced William Lawrence Etters and Teresa Falls of Kings Mountain are pleased to announce the engagement of their niece, Shawna Jackson, to Ryan Sheffler, son of Richard and Dorothy Woodworth of Raleigh, NC. The couple will be married on November 8, 2014 at the Preston Woodall House in Benson, NC. The wedding will be officiated by a friend of the groom, Jonathan Holiday. The bridal party will consist of the Maid of Honor Lindsey Tote and bridesmaids Michelle McDonald and Sarah Armstrong. Best man will be Josh Tilly and groomsmen will be brothers of the groom, Jason Woodworth and David Sheffler.

In the absence of the bride's father, who is deceased, her close friend John Tyler Brann will be giving the bride away.

The engaged couple currently resides in Garner, North Carolina.

Pictured (top) are campers in the Summer Science Camp at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA. The two pictures (below) show some of the activities the young people enjoyed including hands-on projects that enhanced their camping experience.

By Judy W. Ford as well as the delicious pizza too!

Later on in the week the campers got to experience capturing macro invertebrates in the creek and lake at Crowder’s Mountain State Park, with the help of the Park Rangers. The comical screams of laughter and surprised shouts of “What’s this?” filled the forest with sounds of eager wet campers. The campers continued acquiring new skills as they canoed on the park lake.

Finally, it was time for wildlife in our backyards. The campers soon discovered what scurries, slithers, and soars – yes even in their own backyards! Campers enjoyed hands on at Son Ridge Farms milking and bottle-feeding goats.

Home Depot of Gastonia came to join in the fun with hammers in hand and made it possible for all campers to build their own birdhouse for their own backyard wildlife.

Campers were presented a certificate of accomplishment for Summer Science Camp and were asked what was their favorite experience from the week. It was unanimous “EVERYTHING”!

The campers definitely had an experience of erupting, rocking, splashing in the backyard jungle of life at the KM Family YMCA’ s Summer Science Camp.

Science Campers unique quote for the week: “when your experiment doesn’t go right, never say ‘oops’ always say ‘ahh, interesting” “All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind.” – Martin H. Fischer

Fun time at Summer Science Camp at the KM Family YMCA was held for a group of energized campers. 1st through 3rd grade campers were invited to attend with lots of enthusiasm to discover the marvels of science outdoors.

Campers attending were Gideon Allen, Sara Kate Bridges, Branson Bouchard, Jasalyn Cash, Chance Habel, Elliot Habel, Cameron Herndon, Zach Johnson, Alexa Jones, Matthew Rikard, Thomas Spicer, Will Spicer, Max Thompson, Brooke Waseman, Lisa Welborn, and Camp Counselor Judy Ford.

The week began with hands on experiments to enhance the learning adventures of the campers. The explosions of coke and toilet paper were blasting ways of learning about the properties of matter.

Then it was off to the Gateway Trails where young minds gathered to learn more about minerals from Mr. Charlie Padgett, who shared his unique knowledge and collection. A hike on the Gateway Trail was a great way to find really cool specimens and enjoy a picnic lunch too.

Afterwards, the campers ventured down to the Martin Marietta Quarry with Dwayne Clark. Traveling through the quarry in a bus, campers got that “Magic School Bus” feeling as they explored the land of rocks and minerals. With hardhats on, they traveled from the bottom to the top, much like the rocks do. The campers were amazed how small they were, standing beside the heavy equipment used at the quarry. Rock collecting was a rockn’ hit with the campers

POLLUTION: Clean power plan limits carbon pollution From Page 1A children with asthma indoors on bad air days. We must reduce pollution before it takes a further toll on our children and families. As a nation, we have cut air pollution by over 70 percent since 1970, but today more than 147 million Americans (nearly half of the U.S. population) still live where the air is unhealthy to breathe.

Warmer temperatures from climate change will make it even harder to reduce air pollution in many places, and increase the likelihood of drought, wildfires and other threats to our health. Fortunately, we can fight those threats. Recently, hundreds of people attended public hearings hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Denver, Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC to speak out in support of the proposed Clean Power Plan to place first-ever limits on power plant carbon pollution. They spoke up because they recognize that reducing carbon pollution benefits the health of communities across the nation. The EPA’s Clean Power Plan provides states with tools to reduce the carbon pollution from power plants by 30 percent, moving us forward in the fight against climate change. But the plan would do more than that. When fully implemented, the carbon reduction plan will also reduce lethal air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and mercury by 25 percent, preventing up to 6,600 premature deaths and 150,000 asthma attacks in children each year. The plan would also help prevent heart attacks, hospital admissions and missed days of work or school due to illness. Public health experts call this prevention. For the rest of us, it’s just simple common sense.

That is why both our organizations support efforts of the EPA to establish national limits on carbon pollution. If we, as a nation, act responsibly now to reduce carbon pollution we can simultaneously improve our air quality now and prevent many of the adverse health and environmental impacts for future generations.

Downtown getting new restaurant A new downtown restaurant looks to offer diners a lighter, healthier fare when it opens later this month.

The owners of Gentle Moon CafĂŠ say its menu will include paninis, homemade soups, herbal teas, fruit and vegetable smoothies, and vegetarian options. “When we saw the space, we knew it was the perfect fit,â€? said Betsy Kukulka, who was busy with her husband and daughter getting the new restaurant ready for business last week.

Gentle Moon CafĂŠ will be located on E. Gold St. near the corner of Cherokee St., the former address of the Sub Factory.

The Kukulkas operated a pizzeria in the Buffalo, N.Y. area for 30 years before retiring and selling the business a few years ago. They moved to Kings Mountain then to be near some family members and it didn’t take long living here to see a new opportunity. “What we’re going for is a more health-conscious menu,� Kukulka said. “The focus will be on getting and staying healthy. Our smoothies will be made from fresh ingredients – no powders – and customers will see them made right in front of them.�

She said Gentle Moon CafĂŠ will strive for a laid-back atmosphere. “We’ll have a chessboard, a checkerboard and books,â€? she said. “We’re going to encourage people to donate or take books.â€?

First Baptist cookbook for sale After months of planning, editing and finalizing the content, the Women’s Ministry of First Baptist Church Kings Mountain is pleased to announce that its cookbook, First Baptist Family Favorites, is on-hand and ready for purchase. All proceeds from the cookbook go directly to support the Mission Readiness Fund, a fund that supports global mission work. “This cookbook is full of ‘tried and true’ recipes, the kind of food you will prepare over and over,� said Emolyn Lambert, director of the Women’s Ministry. “We have fabulous cooks in our church, and this is a collection of their favorite recipes. There is something in here for every taste!�

The cover artwork is the creation of Kings Mountain artist Jack Greenfield. The book has eight sections with divider pages featuring the missionaries and missions supported by the church. The cookbook has two indexes. The first, a recipe index, makes it easy to find an individual recipe, and the

second index alphabetically lists all the contributors and cross-references each of their recipes.

Lambert goes on to say, “These are beautiful, practical cookbooks. The three-ring binding makes it easy to use and the print is big enough to read when you are in the middle of cooking. We also included pages of helpful hints – measurement substitutions, cooking terms, baking hints and other cooking basics.�

The cookbook committee was chaired by Dianna Allen. Others on the committee were Jennifer Ann Conner, Carol Johnson, Kim Kornegay, Debbie Lineberger, Linda Newsome, Martha Sloan, Linda Rome, Missy Short, Linda Sing and Ruth Yarbro.

First Baptist Family Favorites is $20.

Cookbooks are available at various venues in Kings Mountain and through the church office. Call 704-739-3651 to get your copies.

KMHS at East Friday for first SMAC game

KM - FV POSTGAME PLAYS OF THE GAME 1 – With KM leading 20-14 early in the third period, FV was driving for a potential game-tying or go-ahead TD when FV QB John Crawford threw deep to speedster Moe Neal. KM’s 6-1 safety Jake Merchant leaped high to intercept the pass at the KM 9 yard line. Brandon Bell then hit Tico Crocker with a short pass and Crocker turned it into a 53-yard gain to the FV 38. Crocker was stripped of the ball at the 45 but Merchant recovered it to retain possession.

2 - After KM went up 28-14 early in the fourth quarter, Cedric Wilson recovered an onside kick at the KM 47, setting up a 51-yard, fourminute scoring drive that put the game out of reach.

The Mountaineer defense showed its power early, holding the Jaguars to three and out on the game’s opening possession.

Then, the offense went right to work, driving 70 yards in 10 plays to take a 70 lead on a four-yard sweep of left end by Tico Crocker.

Sam Liss kicked the PAT. The Mountaineers squibbed kickoffs to the left side of the Forestview receiving team all night, and it paid off as very few were returned and those for just a few yards.

It’s a new season for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers Friday when they travel to Forest City to take on a very good East Rutherford team.

It’s the South Mountain Athletic Conference opener for both teams. While their three non-conference wins over Hunter Huss, East Gaston and Forestview were impressive, the games that count begin this week and it’s this eight-game stretch that will determine how successful the Mountaineers will be.

Kings Mountain swept its three-game non-conference slate, beating Hunter Huss, East Gaston and Forestview. East Rutherford is 2-1, having lost 41-24 to a very good Asheville Erwin team, and beating North Gaston 29-7 and perennial Western NC power Tuscola 39-29.

East is their usual self.

The Cavaliers are big and strong and have very good and quick running backs.

“They have a great running game,” says Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd. “They have three good running backs and a good fullback. The quarterback can run as well.

They’re a very impressive team. This is going to be a big game.”

Running back Kam Garrison has been the Cavaliers’ leader thus far, averaging 107 yards rushing per game.

But transfer Calvin Camp has also been impressive along with quarterback DJ Miller and others.

Mountaineers whip Jags 35-21 Kings Mountain’s offense continued to roll and the defense contained one of the best running backs in North Carolina as the Mountaineers defeated stateranked Forestview 35-21 for their third straight victory Friday night in Gastonia.

The win completes an undefeated run against nonconference opponents. Now, the Mountaineers begin to concentrate on the most important part of their season, an eight-game stretch of South Mountain Athletic Conference teams.

Kings Mountain’s defensive front and linebackers did a super job shutting down Division 1 recruit Moe Neal of the Jaguars, holding him to just seven yards rushing on five carries. His longest gain was three yards.

“We put as many people up there as we could and played man to man behind them,” Coach Lloyd said. “I am pleased with our players.”

That great defensive effort forced the Jaguars to go to a deep passing game, which had some success but not enough to outscore the Mountaineers.

Kings Mountain rolled to a 13-0 first quarter lead before lightning in the area resulted in a one-hour delay.

With a lot of penalties, incomplete passes and officials’ discussions which resulted in some waved off flags, the game wasn’t over until 11:25.

After the delay, the Jaguars seemed to catch a breath and rallied to cut the KM lead to 20-13. But the Mountaineers broke the game open in the fourth

quarter.

“That was a big win,” noted Coach Lloyd. “We played a good game. It’s been a long time since we played that well. I was impressed with how we executed on both sides of the ball and special teams.

“Our defensive coaches and players did a good job of stopping their running game and making them throw the ball,” he added.

Unbeaten East Burke spikers here Monday The Kings Mountain and East Burke high school volleyball teams are headed for a battle for first place Monday afternoon at KM’s Donald L. Parker Gymnasium.

The Lady Mountaineers remained undefeated in the SMAC last week with victories over Crest and R-S Central while East Burke won a close match over its nearest neighbor, Draughn, to keep its season unbeaten mark intact.

This game will complete the first round of conference play with the winner having the upper hand for the stretch run of the season.

The Lady Mountaineers, who have lost just two nonconference games against

strong opponents, came back from a 2-1 deficit to defeat Crest 3-2 in a big conference match last Tuesday at Crest.

The win gave the KM ladies a sweep of the other two 3A teams in the SMAC (Burns and Crest), and if they can sweep them again in the second half they would be the #1 SMAC team for the upcoming state playoffs.

Kings Mountain won the first game 25-13 but Crest rallied to take the next two games, 25-22 and 25-16. The Lady Mountaineers came back strong in game four for a 25-9 win and squeezed by 15-13 in the final game.

Kayla Bolt recorded 30 kills, two aces and 13 digs to lead the KM attack. Sara Pa-

sour had 42 assists, one ace and nine digs and Gretchen Boyles added seven aces and five digs.

Kings Mountain won the JV game 25-11, 25-9.

On Wednesday, the KM ladies swept R-S Central 2512, 25-18, 25-16 at Parker Gym. Kayla Bolt led the way with 23 kills, three aces and eight digs. Sara Pasour had three aces, seven digs and 34 assists.

R-S Central won the JV game 25-22, 25-19.

Kings Mountain will tune up for the big match with East Burke with non-conference games at Forestview today and Polk County at home Thursday.

KM/FV: Mounties cruise 35-21 Taking over at their own 38 following KM’s TD, the Jaguars immediately tried one of several deep throws.

The ball was tipped by both Jake Merchant and Marquis Camp of the Mountaineers, and Shawn Adams intercepted it at the KM 32. “That was a big interception,� Coach Lloyd noted.

The Mountaineers reached the end zone in just seven plays, with Crocker again sweeping left end for a 13-0 lead. Darian McClain had a 47-yard run to the Forestview 19, but hurt his shoulder on the play and played sparingly the rest of the game.

Mounties drop last 4 of 5 by one goal ence game last Tuesday at Crest.

The Mountaineers got early goals from Arrick Rithiphong, Robbie Lysek and Chase Yow. Javier Avalos of the Chargers scored late in the first half to cut the margin to 3-1 at intermission.

Justin Wright scored early in the second half to trim the difference to 3-2.

Wednesday at John Gamble Stadium, the Mountaineers dropped a 2-1 decision to R-S Central in a game that was delayed for 40 minutes due to lightning in the area.

The visitors scored 19 minutes into the first half when they played a through ball past the defense and slotted the ball past the KM keeper.

The Mountaineers began to control a good bit of possession but couldn’t get any good looks at the goal.

After the delay, the Hilltoppers found the net

again in the final minute of the first half.

The second half saw the Mountaineers regroup and make several good runs at the R-S goal. Max Sappia beat one defender and then was taken down by a second defender inside the box for a penalty kick. Sophomore Brian Lysek calmly drilled the shot to the keeper’s left to bring the home team within a goal.

On four different occasions, R-S had a difficult time clearing the ball in their penalty area but the Mountaineers could not get the equalizer. “I was proud of the way our kids fought back in the second half and took it to them,� said KM Coach Dan Potter. “If we can just put together 80 minutes of good soccer we will dominate some teams later in the season.�

Jarrett Ledford and John Harris shared time in the goal for the Mountaineers.

“It’s hard to say if the layoff had any effect, but I think we handled it pretty well,� said Coach Lloyd. “The game ended up like I thought it would. Our guys did a good job and I am well pleased with the way they played.�

After holding the Jaguars to three and out again, KM started its third touchdown drive from its own 49.

Xavier Johnson caught a 20yard pass on a post route for a first down at the Jaguars’ 30, and two plays later Brandon Bell threw on the run to Jake Merchant for a 23-yard See KM/FV, 6B

After the ensuing kickoff, lightning was spotted in the Lake Wylie area and the stadium was evacuated.

The layoff seemed to switch the momentum to Forestview, because after the game resumed the Jaguars marched 58 yards in just seven plays to score on a three-yard run by Montavis Rogers to cut the score to 13-6.

Kings Mountain continued to move the ball well, but the Mountaineers’ ensuing drive was halted at the Forestview nine on a pass interception, the Mountaineers’ first turnover of the year.

East Burke edged Crest by one stroke (163-164) in last week’s SMAC golf match at Kings Mountain Country Club.

Draughn finished third at 185. Kings Mountain had no team score because the Lady Mountaineers don’t have

enough golfers to qualify.

Kings Mountain quarterback Hunter Blanton (2) finds a hole in the Forestview defense in Thursday's game at KMHS.

JV Mountaineers edge Forestview 13-12 Kings Mountain’s JVs won the battle but lost a big part of their arsenal in Thursday’s 13-12 victory over Forestview at John Gamble Stadium.

Starting quarterback Darren Burns suffered what will probably be a season-ending injury after sneaking for a first down to the Foresview 26 late in the first period.

Burns had thrown a 52yard touchdown pass to Madison Bolin on the second play of the game, and Micah Randall kicked the pointafter to put the Mountaineers on top 7-0.

Burns went to the field house to have his knee stabilized after suffering what was believed to be a MCL tear and possible torn ACL. He returned to see his teammates use timely offensive success and good defense to hold off the Jaguars.

Forestview answered KM’s early TD with a 65yard drive on its first possession. Semarjae Williams scored the touchdown on a 20-yard run around right end, but KM’s Khal Welch rushed through to block the Jaguars’ extra point attempt and that would be the difference in the game.

Kings Mountain appeared to be heading for a touchdown on its second possession. But when Burns went down to injury, the Forestview defense tightened and the Mountaineers lost the ball on downs at the FV 18.

KM’s defense was up to the task, though, forcing the Jaguars to punt and stopping another Jaguar possession on an interception by Welch.

Neither team could muster much of an offense in the third period, but KM started a late third period drive that resulted in a twoyard touchdown run by Welch early in the fourth quarter. The big play in the drive was a 33-yard sweep around left end by Kavin Mosley for a first down at the

Kings Mountain linebacker Houston Carringer puts he heat on Forestview quarterback Mac England in Thursday's game at KMHS. two.

After several penalties, KM missed the extra point and the score stood at 13-6.

Forestview got right back into the game when Ral Smith returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown.

The Jaguars went for a two-point conversion, but quarterback Mac England’s pass was dropped.

A fumble recovery at the Forestview six by Ian Bishop put KM in great position to break the game open, but the Jaguars’ defense stood firm and stopped the Mountaineers for zero or minus yards on all four running plays.

With no time outs remaining the Jaguars were able to move the ball to the KM 34 before an illegal procedure

penalty followed by two huge losses ended the game.

Kings Mountain got a good defensive performance from numerous players, including Welch, Brandon Manning, AJ Austin, Houston Carringer, Jerdon Pressley, Mosley and JT Cash.

The Mountaineers remain at home Thursday to face East Rutherford in their first SMAC game.

KM/FV: Mounties cruise 35-21 KM/EAST: First SMAC showdown From page 2B gain to the seven. A penalty set the Mountaineers back to the 21 but five plays later Bell hit Merchant for an 8-yard touchdown strike and a 20-6 lead.

With just a minute on the halftime clock, it looked like the Mountaineers would go into intermission with a twotouchdown lead, but Neal got behind the KM defense for a 32-yard pass reception which cut the score to 20-14.

The Mountaineers were held to three and out to begin the third quarter, and Forestview quickly moved the ball into KM territory and threatened to take the lead.

Facing fourth and seven at the KM 44, Forestview went for the bomb and Neal got behind the KM defense again. But, this time Jake Merchant made a leaping interception at the nine yard line.

That play, along with the very next one on which Crocker caught a short pass from Bell and turned it into a 53-yard gain to the Jaguars

38, put the game back in the Mountaineers’ hands.

The teams traded possessions until the Mountaineers mounted their fourth touchdown drive late in the third period.

With McClain on the sidelines with an ice pack on his injured shoulder, Dylan Frederick came in and ripped off a 21-yard gain. A 13-yard reception by Merchant, followed by a personal foul penalty against Forestview, gave KM a first down at the seven. Bell scored on the second play of the fourth quarter to put the Mountaineers up 28-14.

Cedric Wilson recovered an onside kick at the KM 47 and the Mountaineers drove in for a two-yard Bell keeper for a touchdown that put the game out of reach at 35-14 with 7:29 left on the clock.

Forestview worked the ball downfield and scored on a seven yard keeper by Crawford with 4:06 remaining. The Jaguars got the ball back with 2:25 left and picked up a couple of first downs before a

penalty set them back to the 28. Dre Bell recovered a fumble at the eight, and Bell took a knee to end the game.

“A lot of people played well for us,” said Coach Lloyd. “Dreshawn Bell played well. He recovered the fumble and Shawn Adams’ interception was big. A lot of people played well on defense.

“Brandon Bell did a good job at quarterback and Dylan Frederick came in after Darian McClain got hurt and gave us some good play. The offensive line was the best we’ve looked all year. All of them played well and blocked well. We’ve had only one turnover in three games.

We’re taking care of the football.

“I can’t say enough about our defense,” he added.

“Holding Neal to seven yards is a big confidence builder.

He’s a special talent. It has to give us confidence to shut him down like that.

Forestview is an excellent team. They are well deserving of their top ten ranking.”

From page 1B Lloyd said the Cavaliers are running out of a spread offense, “but they’re still mainly a running team. They throw a lot to backs coming out of the backfield.”

The Cavaliers run a 3-3 stack defense. “We’ll have to spend a lot of time this week on that,” Lloyd said.

“It will be a different look for our offense.”

Lloyd said the key to the Mountaineers’ success – in

this game as well as those to come – is to improve every week.

“We just have to get better at what we’re doing,” he said. “I think we’ve done that the first three games.”

Seeking new coping tools for veterans with TBI

by By John Crawford and Mitch Mirkin VA Research Communications

One of the most effective tools to manage a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is a smartphone calendar app, say VA researchers.

Considered the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, mTBI can result in memory loss, mood disturbances and other potentially disabling symptoms. For some, the injury can prove life-altering.

“With mild TBI, one of the most common symptoms is problems with prospective memory—remembering to do things,” explains Dr. Elizabeth Twamley, a neuropsychologist with the VA San Diego Healthcare System. “We want people to remember to take their medication and buy cards for their wife’s

birthday and do all the important things they need to get back to work and school.”

In previous conflicts, mTBI did not play much of a role, so little research has been done on the topic.

Now, with between 10 and 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans having sustained at least one mTBI, VA researchers nationwide are hunting for viable treatment options. In addition to pharmacological and other medical therapies being studied, researchers are learning how to use various cognitive rehabilitation strategies to best effect.

“When the service members started coming back with TBI, we began to look for literature on how to treat them and there wasn’t really any evidence-based research,” she said. “It became clear we needed to do something.”

Twamley developed Cognitive Symptom Management and Rehabilitation Therapy (CogSMART) to do just that. Over 12 weeks, Veterans going through CogSMART learn strategies to help with fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, stress, improving attention, memory and problem-solving.

“By working around impairments, we can take advantage of an individual’s strengths … and use different ways and possibly different brain areas to perform cognitively-demanding tasks.”

One of the key tools is smartphone calendars.

“They’re the strategies successful people use every day.” There’s no stigma associated with using your smartphone calendar to remember things. I use mine.”

Another smartphone feature that comes in handy is the alarm.

There’s no stigma associated with using your smartphone calendar to remember things.

An example of the nonphone strategies included in the program is using acronyms to remember things.

There are two broad categories of cognitive rehabilitation: Restorative Restorative approaches aim to restore cognitive abilities through drills and practice, or through other therapies. New brain cells and networks may be created in the process, thanks to brain plasticity.

Compensatory Compensatory approaches teach patients strategies to work around their deficits—such as using smartphone apps—so they can function better.

GWU to Collect Socks New effort to educate for homeless donation NC college consumers BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. — Gardner-Webb University will collect new men’s socks this month to donate to homeless people in the community.

“Socks are one of the most requested items for the homeless,” said Micah Martin, GWU Director of Student Leadership Development and Community Engagement. “But they are not frequently donated to homeless aid organizations since people typically donate used clothing and trash their old socks.”

The University sock drive is set to begin Thursday, Sept. 18. Donors are asked to take new men’s socks to the Tucker Student Center entry lobby.

Members of the community are also invited to donate socks at Gardner-Webb's home football game Sept. 20 in Spangler Stadium. The Runnin' Bulldogs will host Wofford at 6 p.m. All fans who donate a pack of new men's socks will be admitted free of charge, said Chuck Burch, GWU Vice President

for Athletics.

Socks will be distributed to homeless shelters in the region surrounding GardnerWebb, as well as additional communities, Martin shared.

For more information on the sock drive, contact Martin at 704-406-2135, or email volunteer@gardnerwebb.edu.

The clothing collection coincides with GWU’s 2014 Family Weekend activities.

College Cash & Credit Tour to cover student loans, establishing good credit, avoiding ID theft Attorney General Roy Cooper has kicked off an effort to help college students learn to be smarter consumers with an educational tour that includes visits to six North Carolina colleges and universities.

“The financial decisions you make today can impact your future,” Cooper told students. “Taking the time to learn how to be a smarter consumer now will pay off for years to come.”

Video of the presentations will be available at

ncdoj.gov, on YouTube and Facebook. Cooper’s office will also host Twitter chats to answer questions from student consumers on these topics.

As part of the education effort, the Attorney General’s Office also put together a checklist of steps college students can take to protect themselves from consumer problems, available at ncdoj.gov. The checklist includes steps like knowing what you owe on your student loans and understanding options for paying them off, comparing credit card interest rates, looking at overdraft options

when choosing a debit card, how to check your credit report and freeze it to prevent identity theft, and strategies for protecting your personal information while using WiFi and social media.

“My office is here as a resource for students and consumers of all ages,” said Cooper. “If you spot a scam or have trouble with a business, let us know about it.”

Consumers are encouraged to report scams and bad business practices to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division by filing a complaint at ncdoj.gov or calling 1-8775-NO-SCAM.
