and far reaching in scope that it will energize our entire regional economy. The Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership and its member organizations have been extremely successful in the last 10 years at bringing new businesses and industrial plants to Cleveland County. Recent unemployment data suggests that for the first time in recent history, Cleveland County unemployment closely resembles our state unemployment levels at approximately 6.5%.

$10,000 prize goes to Steve and Eileen Sanders DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Hundreds of donors to the Kings Mountain Historical Museum came together Saturday evening to dine on good food, bid on a number of valuable items in both silent and traditional auctions, and of course to find out which lucky ticketholder was the winner of the $10,000 grand prize. That lucky donor is Steve Sanders, who museum officials described as surprised and very happy upon hearing the news a little later that night. Sanders and his wife Eileen weren’t present for the dinner and drawing, and museum representatives said it was their first time buying a ticket for the annual reverse raffle. “He was elated,� said David Dilling, a member of the board of directors for the museum. “In fact, he and his wife went to high school with me. So I called him personally because I wanted it to seem credible.�

Tuesday's town hall meeting is the second meeting about community concerns and schools in recent months. Neither of the meetings was called by the Board of Education.

ANTI-CASINO: group considering seeking audience with U.S. Dept. of Interior From page 1A send a delegation sometime after October 1 and before November 1. They anticipate sending a delegation of about five people. The South Carolina Native American tribe filed its request to put land in federal trust – a move that would pave the way for a casino to be built on 17 acres of land at the Dixon School Rd. exit on I-85 – one year ago this month. There is no word from federal officials what stage the application is in. The group has been vocal opponents of the project for the last six months. Its members have portrayed regional casinos as “economic vacuum cleaners” that are designed to suck
money out of local economies. The Forcades and many other supporters of the anti-casino cause have also confronted local elected officials in public meetings including the Kings Mountain City Council and the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. Both of those bodies have thrown their support behind the project, defending the tribal casino because it would bring jobs and growth to the area, which has been hard hit by the exodus of textile manufacturing jobs, and, more recently, a national economic downturn that began in 2008. The Kings Mountain Awareness Group come together Saturday afternoon at the Life of Worship Min-
istries Outreach on Cherokee Street, just steps away from City Hall, in a meeting that yielded a lighter than usual turnout of less than 20 people. Sheila Leonard, who runs the Outreach Ministry’s food pantry and clothes closet and has been an active member of the anti-casino group, lauded the Forcades “for the activism and energy they have have put into this cause.” She also said that Adam Forcade believes that “God called on him to warn the community” about the dangers of inviting a casino into the neighborhood. The Forcades presented a slide show that summarized much of the broad research they and others have done about regional casi-
nos. Among their major points: -- Majority of jobs created by the casino will be low paying or part-time. -- Crime could rise by 10-15 percent. DWIs could see a 30-40 percent jump. -- Studies of other communities suggest that substance abuse, prostitution and suicide all see growth after a casino comes to town. -- Casinos create no new wealth. There is a danger it could convert Kings Mountain and the area into a service-based economy. “Gambling and narcotics go together like salt and pepper” Adam Forcade told the group, which included the church’s pastor Ricky
Beatty, Cleveland County Sheriff candidate Carl Jensen, who has been an outspoken critic of the proposed development, and Beauford Burton, an active member of the group who has written a number of letters to the Herald and railed against the casino in a number of city council meetings. Most in the group believe that a casino will simply be bad for the people who already live in Kings Mountain and that the development will deter new residents from moving to the community. “I wouldn’t want to live here if I knew there was a monstrosity of a casino,” said Cynthia Forcade. “We already have 1,200 people going hungry in this
small community,” said Marie Jackson, a local business owner who also coordinates food for the needy projects in Kings Mountain. “I can only imagine that increasing.” Adam Forcade addressed what he called a rumor around town that his group’s effort are in some way backed by the Eastern Band of the Cherokee nation. “If this effort were being funded by the Eastern Band of Cherokee, there would be someone much slick and skilled than myself before you today.” To learn more about the Kings Mountain Awareness Group, visit its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Kings MountainAwarenessGroup.

‘Liberty Mountain’ narrator has big job DEAR: former DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
“Liberty Mountain� certainly isn’t the first play Erica Elizabeth Hall Carpenter has ever been in. The Kings Mountain High School senior has been learning her lines and saying them on cue since she was a small child in productions ranging from “101 Dalmatians,� “The Wizard of Oz,� “Winnie the Pooh,� “Puss and Boots� and “Charlotte’s Web.� But the young actress said her role in the Revolutionary War drama being put on by the Kings Mountain Little Theatre and set to debut in early October is probably her toughest to date. She portrays The Scribe, a kind of dramatic narrator who appears to tie together scenes and certain historical truths during the course of the action of the big play, which is directed by Caleb Sigmon and based off the script of playwright Robert Inman. “I have A LOT of lines,� the 17-year-old said of The
Scribe, which is an essential character in the play. She has a special connection to the real-life story of the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain. Carpenter had two ancestors who fought in the battle – one on the side of the loyalists and the other fighting for the patriots – and interestingly enough the two colonialists killed each other in the brutal battle just a few miles south of town more than 200 years ago. That ancestral connection was part of the reason that motivates the already busy high school student to audition. “When I heard they were doing the play I just had to audition for that reason ‌ and it’s been an awesome experience.â€? Carpenter is a busy young woman. Earlier this month, she was elected senior class president at the high school. That job follows her run as class president of her freshman, sophomore and junior classes. She's also the school’s Beta Club president, runs on its track and cross country teams, and is
Erica Elizabeth Hall Carpenter has lots of acting experience in Shelby and in Kings Mountain productions. In fact, this is her second turn playing a narrator. a member of the school’s chorale and King’s Revue. Erica’s mother, Linda Carpenter, is also a part of the production, helping to make period costumes for the actors. Like other players in “Liberty Mountain,� Carpenter has lofty praise for the director and for playwright Inman. “(Sigmon) is very enthusiastic," she said Monday,
two days before rehearsals were to go off-book (reading lines without the help of a script). “He has great energy. He’s a great role model. He’s trying to make us better ‌ and he’s been very kind in his way of going about that.â€? As for Inman, who has a string of successful novels, plays and screenplays under his belt after retiring from the broadcasting business some years ago, Carpenter has found in him a very flexible and helpful playwright who is quick to listen to actors’ suggestions and work hard to smooth out script problems. “I felt like one part didn’t flow well and he went home like that night and rewrote it. I thought that was awesome!â€? For Carpenter, the excitement is building as the cast looks toward a big opening night on October 3. “I’ll be so nervous I probably won’t be able to breathe,â€? she said. “But I’ll be ‌ ready to go. We’ll all be ready.â€?
Rotary spaghetti supper before Burns game Friday at KMHS Looking for a pre-game meal? Rotary spaghetti supper is 5 p.m. Friday Rotarians and a number of other volunteers will be hustling this Friday to prepare more than 800 meals at the annual spaghetti supper, which is designed to raise money for a number of Rotary projects in the community. Dinner will be served between 5 and 7:30 at the High School’s cafeteria. For $8, donors get a plate plate of spaghetti, salad, bread, tea and dessert. The meal is free for kids under 5, and take-outs are available. Tickets can be purchased at the door. Following the big feast, the Mountaineers host conference rival Burns Bulldogs at John Gamble Stadium. Proceeds from the spaghetti supper go toward scholarships for KMHS seniors, an Early Act FirstKnight program at East Elementary and the Backpack Project, that sends food home with local schoolchildren who might otherwise have little in the cupboards over the weekends. Rotarians have been working hard
procuring foodstuffs and selling tickets for the annual dinner, which pulls in approximately $6,000 in proceeds. And this year they’re trying a few new ideas. In order to cut down on expenses for the dinner, organizers sought out deals for the menu items and tried to get some items donated when possible. It also shifted the event back about a month, in order to capitalize on the expected turnout for the big Burns game. “We’ve done some things to lower the overhead, said Rotarian Doug Satterfield. “Ingles works with and gives us a good deal on bread. And Dole Foods (in Bessemer City) is donating lettuce.� On Friday, Rotarians will descend on the high school cafeteria early and start getting ready for the dinner, which organizers say is in its fourth decade. Also pitching in will be members of the high school cafeteria staff and members of the KMHS’s InterAct program, which is modeled after adult Rotary International clubs.
After the annual golf tournament in June, it’s the biggest single fundraising event put on by the local Rotary club. The Rotary Scholarship Fund aids high school students in attending the college of their choice in several different ways. Including its early college program and a scholarship that seeks to help students who are the first in the family to attend college, the Kings Mountain Rotary Club provides help for college costs to an average of five local recipients every year. The club also sponsors an 11th grader every year to the Rotary Youth Institute, which is hosted regionally. The Backpack Project coordinates with local businesses, churches and individuals to supply kids on reduced or free lunch programs with additional food. The purchase of the tickets is partially or fully tax deductible, depending on whether the tickets are used or simply donated to the non-profit.
SANDERS: wins big in KM Historical Museum fundraiser raffle, Friday From Page 1A able 300 tickets, board members said. Organizers have been more and more successful with each passing year in meeting their goal of selling out. Last year they hit a new high of 286. “The first year we had this it was in my backyard – and we had about 100 people,� said Priscilla Mauney, the museum board’s chairperson. “Of course, it’s been growing a lot over the years and until recently we held the raffle at the American Legion, which is a great venue for it.� Mauney said she wished the winner could have been present at the exciting moment when the last ticket is pulled from the barrel and she’s looking ahead to next year when – should the winner not be present – raffle organizers could call the lucky ticket holder and perhaps put
the phone to the microphone. She also said that down the road she would like to see the museum throw some other smaller fundraising functions throughout the year. The reverse raffle is an exciting twist on a traditional raffle. An array of door prizes valued at $25 or more are awarded to at least every fifth ticket drawn from a raffle barrel. The last ticket drawn at the end of the evening wins the grand prize of $10,000. This year's finale featured prizes increasing in value up to the last ticket drawn; the last four tickets drawn prior to the grand prize winner each received a special gift and the second runner up will win a vacation package valued at over $500. This year's cake auction featured something for everyone's sweet tooth – from a coconut lime pound cake to a seven layer chocolate cake, red velvet cake,
chocolate mascarpone crunch cake and more.

County Manager in support of casino From Page 1A mains alarmingly high. According to the Department of Social Services, 25,937 citizens in our county currently receive food stamps and/or Medicaid. Our goal is to provide an employment opportunity to every citizen in Cleveland County who is willing and able to obtain the necessary skills and training to be prepared to meet the challenges of the workplace. In order to meet this goal, our community has to be open minded and flexible enough to encourage and support many new and different types of businesses and industries. The Resort and Gaming Industry is just one of the exciting new employment and investment opportunities that we need to support. I applaud local public and private leadership whose vision and hard work has overcome many obstacles to give our citizens an opportunity for a brighter economic future right here in Cleveland County. The proposed Catawba Indian Resort will reside on a 16-acre site in southern Cleveland County. The development is estimated to cost in excess of $800 million and be comprised of approximately 1.8 million square feet at full build out. Amenities will include a gaming floor, restaurants, entertainment venues, 1500 hotel rooms, a spa, parking decks and more. The proposed Resort/Casino site (Dixon School Road at I-85) is ideal for this type of project. It is remotely located with excellent access to the interstate highway system. Travelers seeking the resort will be pleasantly surprised by the convenient I-85 location, but local residents will be pleased because it is remote enough to have little impact on the daily lives of local residents who choose not to visit the resort. The surrounding property is mostly undeveloped and affords a great opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors to more fully develop commercial property that otherwise may stay vacant for years to come. These surrounding businesses will also create many additional jobs and investment opportunities for our local citizens. Finally, commercial development along the I-85 corridor increases property and sales tax revenue for the county, while in general having overall less service demand burden than does residential areas. Currently, due to several factors that include population, age, median income, and several other economic factors, many of our citizens drive to neighboring towns to shop for retail merchandise that will not locate in our community. This Catawba Indian Resort affect will bring commercial development we do not have currently. You be the judge of whether additional commercial development along the I85 corridor in Cleveland County positively affects our citizens with additional shopping and restaurant opportunities. The primary reason this resort is so important to our local economic well being is the job creation potential. Construction of the proposed Catawba Indian Resort will generate and support

more than 4,000 construction jobs in the region, some of which will last for more than two years. The completed resort itself will directly employ over 4,000 workers, which does not account for the many hundreds of jobs that will be created by surrounding businesses that will support the resort's many activities. The payrolls associated directly and indirectly with the resort will be calculated in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. These payroll dollars will in turn be spent and invested in our local economy. The impact of the wages earned and the goods and services purchased in our community will create a total economic impact that is hard to imagine and project because it has never before been experienced in a rural North Carolina community with direct interstate access. This commercial resort has the potential to become the largest single source of revenue for Cleveland County Government and provide available funding for many community projects that could never be afforded otherwise. In addition, the City of Kings Mountain is positioned to receive millions of dollars annually in utility revenues that will enable them to provide better services and hold down costs to residents. The large number and wide variety of new jobs will create the need for several new or expanded educational programs at our excellent local community college. Opportunities will be created in such fields as gaming management, travel and tourism, hotel management, culinary, hospitality, security, electronics, and information technology, to name a few. Cleveland Community College stands ready, willing and able to serve these new and expanded opportunities. Large development in any community seldom is easy, nor does it happen without some level of community dissent. Our community continues to consistently hear from a small but vocal group who is convinced that this type of development will drastically change the very fabric and core of what makes Cleveland County so special in so many ways. I defend their right to plead their case. In this instance, however, the facts speak for themselves and the positives far outweigh the negatives, which is why I enthusiastically await the announcement of the project. In closing, I grew up here and spent most of my adult life working to make Cleveland County a better place. I am very proud of the many accomplishments our county has collectively worked so hard to achieve. I have many friends and business associates in our fine community and would never advocate any project that I felt might negatively affect them and was not a long term positive asset to the county. I have thoroughly researched the impacts, both positive and negative on the community and have staked my hard earned reputation and career on the fact that the proposed Catawba Indian Resort will deliver many years of positive economic opportunities to our citizens.

■MEDITATION It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing. (Galatians 2:20-21) Grace to you and peace from God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen. I used to think that if I were a successful businessman I would have everything I wanted in life. In my understanding, being successful in my career equated to happiness throughout all facets of my life. I was motivated by my work, with the hope that my success in the workplace would allow me to purchase the things I wanted which in turn would make me happy. It’s what our society labels as “the American dream� and it motivated me. Have you ever thought about what motivates you to be a disciple of Jesus; a follower of Christ; a believer of God? What draws you into the faith? What provides you the inspiration to continue day after

day to model your life after Jesus’ example in the Scriptures; to make a difference in the lives of others by extending the message of God’s never-ending love for his children? The American culture provides for us many things that act as motivators in our lives: money, power, prestige, possessions and social status. These things and others motivate us to work harder, to do more and to further participate in various things in order to get ahead in society or in order to scratch a particular itch in our lives. In this passage from Paul’s letter to the Galatian church, he speaks of that which motivated him to share the message of the gospel with others. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me,� Paul writes as he conveys the inspiring force behind his ministry. For Paul, Christ’s presence within him motivated him to tell others about Jesus. It is because of his faith in Jesus and because Jesus gave himself through his life, death and resurrection that Paul continued to follow him. Paul’s motivation stemmed from his faith in Jesus and
his understanding that Jesus died for his sake and that because of his death, he gives us life eternal. This is what motivated Paul to become a believer and a follower of Christ. Josh Tucker Pastor I fear the church St. Matthew’s today has lost some Lutheran Church of the motivating factors that stir up in us the will to continue in the faith. The church has lost some of its inspiration for doing ministry as it becomes more difficult, more time consuming and requires much more effort. We must cling to the motivation that is our faith and that is salvation so that we are never absent from the will to follow Christ. For it is by his love for us that we can even experience the joys and the fruits of our ministry in the first place. Let us hold fast to the motivation that is Christ’s love for us this day. Amen.

Walking is life-changing event for Gene White We all know that walking is good for you but for Gene White walking has become a life-changing experience. White retired in 1994 as Planning and Economic Development Director at the City of Kings Mountain. He started walking in 2006 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and started recording his miles. During eight weeks of radiation, he walked 142 miles. That was eight years ago. Walking worked for him. This year he has already clocked 500 miles and today he has walked a total of 5,612 miles which equates to 647 miles a year. Gateway Trails on S. Battleground Avenue is Gene's choice of a relaxing place to walk with its panoramic view of Kings Mountain. The Herald asked White to talk a bout how walking has improved his health and he writes “the World's Best Kept Health Secret” for this special section of The Herald. “Gotcha! There is no such thing as the best kept secret to good health. ''You will not read anything in this article that you could not have read a hundred years ago, generally speaking. We have not been listening or practicing as well as we should. ''The same factors that applied in the good ole days are still viable, namely condition at birth, environment, medical science, nutrition, education and many others. ''The big one that I omitted on purpose is a well known by ill practiced factor, personal responsibility. ''Our good friends in the medical field will agree that we lay persons have met the enemy and he is us. ''In other words, folks, we have gotten ourselves in one heck of a mess. ''There is one factor in medical advancement that is not positive. ''We had led ourselves to believe that there is a pill remedy to overcome every lack of self discipline, personal responsibility, belief in instant gratification, you name it. We are gullible beyond belief- let me give you one example that you may view anytime. There is a large sign in front of a business in Gastonia which states in large letters, Lose 40 pounds in 30 days. ''Now we know that the only way we can lose 40 pounds in 30 days is if our pet goat runs away from home. I rest my case. ''The actual purpose of this article is for an update on my personal attempt to preserve my health through my walking program. ''The life-changing event that caused me
to begin my program of regular, recorded walking occurred in 2006 when I underwent 42 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. This lasted five days a week for eight weeks. Due to the horror stories of side effects, my decision was to begin walking and recording mileage each day as a distraction. ''During the eight weeks of treatment my mileage was 142. The last time I was a visitor it was still posted on the oncology wall. ''My side effects turned out to be minimal or non-existent during both treatment and to this d ay. That was the point in time I believed walking must really be a good thing. As of Sept. 7, 2014 I have recorded 5,612 miles walking or about 647 miles annually. ''The Gateway Trail was dedicated in November 2009. To date my mileage on the Gateway Trail is 3,244 miles of the total. At 2.25 miles average per day I have walked Gateway 1,441 times. I really like the walking trail. ''My walking program also includes other normal activities along with trying to practice good nutrition. We know how tough that is. ''Here is the big question- has this been worthwhile or actually beneficial? Do we have any real proof? This is my own clinical trial with no placebos, no blind studies and no large number of participants. I do admit that I have not been published in the Journal of American Medical Association or even the New England Journal of Medicine. However, I do remain alert for phone calls. Collect is O.K.

The first month-long summer production is slated for June 26, 2015. Caleb Sigmon is artistic director, Katy Biser is costumes/stage manager, Nancy Pinkerton is caterer and Jim Champion is producer. 1780. The American Revolution has dragged on for five wearying years, and is now at a stalemate. There have been victories and defeats on both sides in the New England colonies – Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Lexington, Concord, Trenton, Monmouth. But victory eludes the combatants. The British under General Clinton firmly hold New York, but little else. George Washington’s Continentals are unable to force a decisive battle. It is a complex and frustrating situation for King George III and his military. The long campaign, stretching back to the French and Indian war, has sapped the royal treasury. Parliament grows increasingly restive. And now the French have entered the fray on the side of the Americans. The King has vowed not to give up the Colonies. But how to resolve the situation? The answer: Go South. America’s southern colonies have, until now, mostly escaped the worst
ravages of the war. There have been battles and skirmishes by forces loyal to the king and those who advocate independence, but nothing on the scale of the New England campaigns. The Carolinas are mostly peaceful and increasingly prosperous. The new British strategy: invade South Carolina. Capture Charleston and drive north, establishing strongholds, attracting what’s expected to be an outpouring of loyalist sentiment and arms. Once South Carolina is subdued, continue into North Carolina, then to Virginia. Trap George Washington’s army between the British forces moving north and those coming out of New York in a decisive battle that will end the revolution. It almost worked, and would have except for Kings Mountain – a story being retold 234 years after the fact in a new stage drama, “Liberty Mountain,� by veteran novelist and playwright Robert Inman. With a world premier scheduled for early October, 2014 at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, the drama will be repeated every summer in the future. “Liberty Mountain� is told in the lives of the frontier families who settled the Carolinas in the early days of American history. They were predominantly ScotsIrish Presbyterians, immigrants from Northern Ireland who came with a chip on their shoulder, victims of hardship and poverty they blamed on British landowners. Thousands moved to America, many of them to the Carolinas, in hopes of building new lives,
raising families, worshiping as they pleased. Many held strong allegiances to King and Crown, many supported the drive for an independent America. But many were content to just be left alone . It was not to be. In May, 1780, it appeared the British southern strategy was working splendidly. Charleston had fallen and three thousand Continental troops had surrendered. Another huge defeat followed at Camden, and by now, there was no such thing as a Continental Army in the south. The British commander, Lord Cornwallis, reported to London that South Carolina was firmly in his hands, that Patriot resistance was crushed, that Loyalists were flocking to the King’s cause. By October, it had all turned to dust. British brutality and arrogance made Cornwallis and his allies their own worst enemies. Loyalist bands, little more than outlaws, murdered Patriots and looted and burned their homes and farms. A British legion massacred Patriot militiamen trying to surrender after a battle in the Waxhaw region of North Carolina. Rather than being crushed and subdued, the Backcountry regions of both Carolinas were enraged and up in arms, staging successful geurilla raids and defeating British and Loyalist units in a series of pitched battles. But if blame for the turning of the tide can be laid at the feet of one man, it is British Major Patrick Ferguson. On orders from Cornwallis, he recruited and trained a force of Loyalist militia in the area around Ninety Six, South Carolina,
then marched them north. Cornwallis captured Charlotte, and prepared to move further north with Ferguson in control of his left flank. Ferguson perceived his main threat to be from the area known as the Overmountain Territory, across the Appalachians in what is present-day Eastern Tennessee – a land settled by fierce and fiercely-independent frontier families, veteran Indian fighters. Ferguson sent a message: lay down your arms and swear allegiance to the King, or I will cross the mountains, hang your leaders, and lay waste to your homes. It was Ferguson’s fatal mistake. A thousand of the frontiersmen quickly organized and set out on a grueling journey across the mountains in search of Ferguson. They were joined by militia units from both Carolinas, and on October 8, 1780, they found Ferguson and his force camped atop Kings Mountain. Achieving complete surprise, they surrounded the mountain and attacked uphill, fighting Indian-style, using rocks and trees for cover. Within an hour, it was over. Ferguson was dead and his entire force destroyed – hundreds killed and wounded, the rest taken captive. The Patriots lost 28 killed and 58 wounded. Historians agree that it was the turning point in the Revolution. Cornwallis, his flank exposed, beat a hasty retreat from Charlotte. There were other battles in the ensuing year – a Patriot victory at Cowpens, a draw at Guilford Court House that left Cornwallis’s force decimated. And it ended finally with his surrender at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.

Leshea Perkins, who has taught yoga for two years but has been volunteering time to teach special needs children and their parents, said she stumbled upon the space for rent on Cherokee Street in downtown Kings Mountain a few weeks ago and decided to remodel the building and open it as her studio. “With my experience and my studies I would like to encourage more people and children in our community to practice yoga, breathe free and live a strong life," she said, adding, “I find yoga very rewarding and I am very grateful for this opportunity, and I consider myself a motivational teacher who gives others confidence in their bodies' ability to heal, strengthen and evolve both on and off
the yoga mat." As an introduction to the program, Perkins invites anyone with all types of yoga experience or none at all to free classes on September 27 at 9 a.m., 11 a.m .and 4 p.m. Perkins said she decided to teach yoga because she saw how much her daily practice changed her life and helped her to be stressfree. The wife and mother of two children, her oldest having Down syndrome, she said it was important to find time for herself, release stress and become healthy while maintaining a busy lifestyle. In order to take care of her family, she said wanted to keep them happy and healthy.
LESHEA PERKINS Perkins said practicing yoga reduces stress, helps you gain balance, flexibility, and better posture, detoxes the organs and helps with digestion, strengthens muscles, bones and core, improves circulation and respiration which are both
essential to cardiovascular fitness. Perkins and her husband, Robin Perkins, and their children, Naudia and Elexa, reside in the Crowder's Mountain Community of Gaston County.

KM couple called to serve in Honduras "And the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it to the least of these my brethren, ye have done it into me.” Matthew 25:40 "The Lord burdened our hearts nearly nine years ago and we said “send us” and Chris and I began leading our Mission Readiness groups from First Baptist Church to work with us in Honduras," said Donna Myers Keeter. Mrs. Keeter said the Honduras mission is an outreach effort of the local church which sends teams to work with Donna and Chris Keeter at 10 mission churches. “The two feeding centers where we feed 130 kids at First Baptist Church in San Ignacio is one of the big projects now and we work with Pastor Alex and his wife," said Chris. The Keeters are currently at home in Kings Mountain visiting churches in support of the many who are needy in Honduras. “It's a calling for us," said Donna, adding, “It was a step in faith." Chris Keeter, son of Suzie Keeter of Grover and the late Tommy Keeter, was first to go to Honduras with a youth group in 2004 and fell in love with the people. Donna, daughter of Bob and Martha Myers of Kings Mountain, was working in Charlotte and joined Chris and she too fell in love with the people of Honduras. The headquarters for the mission experience is First Baptist Church of San Ignacio, taking its name from First Baptist Church of Kings Mountain whose Missionary Readiness Program has become an extension of the Honduras church. The Keeters work out of the San Ignacio church, working with short-term mission groups from this area to Honduras, and say that because the Honduran people speak Spanish that has never been a barrier to their work. Donna says that Pastor Alex Gudoy speaks English fluently. The Feeding Center at San Ignacio is a big project where children are fed and involved in Bible study and games. Donna is currently working on a Christmas project, collecting items and filling “Jesus bags” with Christmas presents for 800 children. “This is a big event for the children and local people have always been generous," she said. A Day Care program was started at San Ignacio in 2007 and attendance is growing every year. It is an outreach program to the village and prepares the children for school. Another Feeding Center is an active place for 50 or more children in Naranjal where the pastor's wife and women of the church lead the program. Pastor Alex leads a pastor training session every other month and 12 pastors from different churches in the villages, including the pastors in the mission churches, attend to better understand the Bible so they can return to their churches and disciple their people. This group of new pastors will be graduating in December. Local churches that the Keeters work with include First Baptist Church, Kings Mountain; First Wesleyan Church, Bessemer City; Westview Baptist Church, Shelby; New Hope Bap-

Mount Olive Baptist food ministry Mount Olive Baptist Church's food ministry in the Compact Community began in 2006 with a handful of volunteers and now feeds more than 70 people at the church and provides meals on wheels to 64 shut-ins every Wednesday from 12 noon until 1 p.m.. “They are coming, God told us to feed the hungry and our door is open,'' said Mary Grier, chairman of the ministry. She said the food pantry is stocked from donations from the public and from church members. A kitchen committee meets at the church to prepare the Wednesday meals. Volunteers are welcome. The church turns no one away. No questions are asked, there is no cost. The church has also extended its food ministry with Second Harvest and there's a big giveaway once a month, the last Saturday in each month from 12 noon until 3 p.m. and over 200 families shop from a u-shape type grocery store and select the foods they like to eat – from meats to canned goods, cereal, pasta, soft drinks, etc. It's a unique service that the church provides because some foodstuffs are wasted if the items are placed in boxes and a family doesn't like something or because of health reasons can't eat certain foods. Second Harvest requires that families visiting the church's grocery store for the first time fill out an application. “We learned about Second Harvest when we were at Washington Baptist C hurch in Waco,'' said the pastor, Rev. Charles Grier, adding, “This is a wonderful way to heed God's call to feed the hungry and everything is free to the people who come the last Saturday in the month and the peo-

Mount Olive: food ministry From page 8A food,'' said Mrs.Webber. She said the church needs a commercial refrigerator and if there are persons in the community who may donate either of these items the church would be be most grateful. “These programs are really a blessing as we all work together to help others,'' said the pastor. Donations may be forwarded to Mount Olive Food Ministry, PO Box 98, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. Persons needing food from an emergency pantry may call Mary Grier at 704-772-5448 or leave a voice message at the church, 704-739-4516. In addition to its food ministry, church members also visit residents at White Oak Manor in Kings Mountain and White Oak Manor in Shelby and are hoping to begin a prison ministry on a regular basis. The members also plan a community
cookout at the church in October and invite everyone in the community to attend. “Wednesday is a busy day at our church because we start cooking meals at 8:30 a.m., preparing for the lunch crowd and preparing boxes and delivering lunch to the sick and shut in of the community. It's also the day that we start picking up food supplies from Second Harvest in Charlotte and start arranging our “grocery store� in the downstairs area of the church,'' said Grier. Grier said the church welcomes Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other youth of the community to help volunteers with the feeding programs. Among future goals of the food committee is placing recipes in the boxes they deliver and recipes in the kitchen as people enjoy the food they prepare for the Wednesday meal and also for the once-a-month distribution.

Patrick family connection to the ‘South Fork Boys’ I t ’ s hard to imagine a family more attuned to the importance of the RevoRobert lutionary Inman War Battle Special of Kings to the Herald Mountain than the Patricks. And that’s part of the reason brothers Larry and Gilbert and Gilbert’s wife Jancy are intimately involved in the upcoming premier of “Liberty Mountain,� the stage drama about the battle and the life and times of its participants at Kings Mountain’s Joy Performance Center. The Patrick family are the lead sponsors of the play, with both financial support for the project and a keen interest in its potential for the community their family has called home since those Revolutionary days. There is a direct connection: their ancestor, Lt. Col. Frederick Hambright, was one of the heroes of the Battle of Kings Mountain. He led a contingent of Patriots known as the “South Fork Boys� who came from what is now Cleveland, Lincoln, and Gaston counties. At the beginning of the fight Hambright’s force was positioned along the northeast corner of the mountain, astride the only possible escape route for the Loyalist defenders. As the battle commenced, the South Fork Boys came under intense fire. One of their leaders, Major Chronicle, was killed almost instantly. Hambright rallied the troops and attacked up the hill. He was shot and seriously wounded, but kept leading his troops until the victory was won. “Our mother beat that story into us when we were kids,� Larry Patrick says with a smile. His mother, a direct descendant of Frederick Hambright, passed along stories of her ancestor’s bravery and the importance of the battle to the winning of the Revolutionary War. “She even had a relic from the battle,� Larry tells, “a string of beads worn by a woman named Virginia Sal, who was believed to be British Major Ferguson’s mistress.� Virginia Sal, along with Ferguson, was killed in the battle. There’s another family link, related by Gilbert
Patrick: “We are also related to Author Patterson who at the age of 70, joined with Hambright’s regiment as his two sons were tied to trees within the Loyalists encampment at the beginning of the skirmish. He is actually listed on the monument in the park as killed during the battle, but lived for many years to follow.� Both brothers are passionate about preserving the legacy of the battle. “When I went to college,� Larry says, “I was surprised to find that no one had heard of the Battle of Kings Mountain. I couldn’t understand why there was not more interest, because that battle really did turn the tide of the Revolution.� So when Larry returned to Kings Mountain from several years in Georgia, he took an interest in reviving the story and at the same time doing something to promote the town of Kings Mountain. “This battle was the moment that defined our nation,� he says. “These men were acting for their own destiny, to carve out America’s place in the world. They put it all on the line.� Gilbert adds, “When I mention Kings Mountain and its significance to the history of our nation in my day-to-day conversations, maybe 1 in 100 people are actually literate of the importance of this event. And of the people that know, most are usually from South Carolina or Tennessee. However, if I mention Kings Mountain to a customer or supplier in England it's about a 50% chance they know the significance of this battle relating to the War of the Colonies.� The Patricks believe the production of “Liberty Mountain� will contribute substantially to a growing awareness of the battle and its role in American history. Following its October premier, it will be produced every summer in the future. The Patricks and their ancestors have long been involved in Kings Mountain’s civic, economic and cultural life. Gilbert and Larry’s grandfather P. D. Patrick was a beloved Presbyterian minister. Their grandfather Hambright owned and operated a cotton gin. And their father, Lawrence Patrick, founded Patrick Yarns in the early 1960’s. Gilbert, who directs the business today, is recognized as a national leader in the textile industry.

Gateway Festival to add new events It's always been “Music, Muskets & Merriment� at the Gateway Festival in Kings Mountain but a few more elements have been added for this year's event on October 11, according to Events Director Ellis Noell. Plans include adding a Pumpkin Roll down Railroad Avenue, a pie baking contest, a 5K foot race and an opportunity to meet Smokey the Bear at the Gateway Trail. All the activities will take place between 10 a.m. And 5 p.m. except for the Gateway Festival 5K which will start at 8 a.m. All of the venues, the Art Depot, the Historical Museum, Joy Performance Center, the Gateway Trail and Patriots Park will be connected by a free shuttle that will run continuously through all locations with special departures visiting the Kings Mountain National Military Park Welcome Center. Activities have been planned at each venue during the festival and admission is free including the KidZone at Patriots Park. Starting the day early will be the runners who will participate in the Gateway Festival 5K or One Mile Fun Run, benefiting West Elementary School, when it
starts near the Gazebo at Patriots Park. The Pumpkin Roll is being put together by Nick Motello as part of an Eagle Scout project, working in conjunction with the Kings Mountain Fire Department. Participants can buy or bring their own pumpkins to race down Railroad Avenue, and, hopefully make it to the finish line. Well known food writer Cathey Noell will oversee the “Farm to table pie baking contest'' at Patriots Park, where entries will be dropped off to be tasted by celebrity judges. Limited number of free samples will be available. For the outdoor lovers, Smokey the Bear, along with representatives from all three area parks, will be available for photos with the family at Gateway Trail. A large display will be set up to showcase the gems and minerals mined over the years in Kings Mountain. Ken Hagans will demonstrate his wood carving skills and there will be other activities planned for the children. Applications for the different competitions are available online at www.CityofKM.com or by visiting City Hall or calling 704-734-0333.
The old Loray Mill is getting a face lift
LT COL. FREDERICK HAMBRIGHT Of the family’s major sponsorship of “Liberty Mountain,� Gilbert says, “We try to be a good civic partner in the community. If successful, ‘Liberty Mountain’ should increase tourism, help educate the public of the significance of this battle, and promote economic growth within our community. All positive factors that we are proud to be part of.� Civic activism and philanthropy run strong in the family. In addition to the family’s local contributions, Larry was one of the prime movers in the effort to establish the Chattahoochee River National Park in the Atlanta area while he was a
Georgia resident and renowned in whitewater rafting recreation. When the curtain rises on “Liberty Mountain� at an opening night Gala on Friday, October 3, the Patrick family will be front and center, watching with pride in the unfolding of the drama and their critical part in making it happen. Tickets for performances of “Liberty Mountain� are now on sale through Kings Mountain Little Theatre by calling 704-730-9408 or online at tickets@kmlt.org. After the opening night Gala, public performances are on October 4, 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. and October 5 and 12 at 3:00p.m.
A free event, “Loray Mill: Past, Present and Future", will be given Thursday, Sept. 25, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Gaston County Museum. Historic Loray Mill, the largest textile mill under one roof in the South, had once been the heart of Gaston County’s bustling textile industry. The mill operated from 1900 to 1993, employing thousands of Gaston citizens and providing homes for their families in the mill village that surrounded the factory. Since its closure, a massive renovation project has been taking place, led by Loray
Redevelopment, LLC. William R. Hughes, developer for the Loray Mill project, will be on hand to share information about this historic mill, talk about the restoration efforts, and share how the building will be utilized for generations to come. Attendance for this program is by reservation only.

Mountaineers beat Cavaliers 21-14, seek first win over Burns in four years Big fourth lifts KM over East Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers recovered from fumbles and untimely penalties over the first three quarters to put 14 points on the board in the fourth period and defeat East Rutherford 21-14 in their SMAC opener Friday night in Forest City. While the Mountaineers’ offense was unstoppable in the fourth quarter, the defense played its best football of the season by limiting the Cavaliers to just 11 plays and minus six yards rushing in the final quarter. East stunned the Mountaineers with a touchdown on their second offensive play, and again on a 72-yard touchdown run by Calvin Camp on the first play from scrimmage in the second half to take the 14-7 lead. Over 100 of the Cavaliers’ 273 yards total offense came on their first two plays of the first half and first play of the second half. Kings Mountain moved the ball all night but the four fumbles and 83 yards in penalties hampered them, including one holding penalty that negated a first half touchdown. See KM, 2B
KM 4-0, Burns 1-2 in first county game
Kings Mountain quarterback Brandon Bell rolls out to throw a pass in Friday’s win over East Rutherford in Forest City.
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will be seeking their fifth straight win – and their first over Burns in four years – when the Bulldogs come to John Gamble Stadium for a 7:30 p.m. game Friday. The Bulldogs posted their first win of the season Friday night in a SMAC game with Chase after losing two non-conference games to perennial 3A powers Ashbrook and Freedom. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd has seen the young Bulldogs on film, and for a quarter in person as the Burns-Chase game was suspended by storms Friday and completed Monday night at Burns. “They’ve got a really good defense,” Lloyd noted. “They have good size and will be the best defense we’ve seen this year.” One of the leaders of the Burns defense is senior linebacker Kyle Carroll, who is a former Mountaineer. The Bulldogs’ offense also looked good in Monday’s 20-3 win over Chase. AJ Camp gained over 100 yards rushing and senior Michael Tate is also a talented runner as well as a starter at linebacker. “The last few games
they’ve been moving the ball better,” said Coach Lloyd. “They’re improving every game. They will be very physical and this will be the hardest-hitting game we’ve had.” Lloyd hopes to see a lot of improvement in the Mountaineers this week. “Taking care of the football has to be our number one goal,” he said. “We can’t put the ball on the ground. We can’t give them a short field. “We have to finish our drives. We need to play a lot better than we did last week. We can’t give up anything big. We have to play hard the whole game.” The Mountaineers will probably be without the services of offensive lineman Keenan Baker. He took a helmet to the knee last week at East Rutherford, and though there’s nothing pulled or broken his leg is very sore. Lloyd said starting offensive lineman Max Peterson and defensive lineman Colin Watkins, who were injured in the Forestview game, will be back; and Kenny Williams, who started in the place of Peterson last week See Burns, 2B
Spikers beat East Burke, open 2-game SMAC lead The 2012 SMAC volleyball championship is Kings Mountain’s to lose after the Lady Mountaineers opened up a two-game lead Monday at home with a 3-1 victory over East Burke. East Burke came into the match with a 6-1 conference record and needing a win to tie the KM ladies for first place. Heading into the second round, the Lady Mountaineers lead both East Burke and Draughn by a full two games. KM will play both of those teams later in the season. Monday’s match at Donald Parker Gymnasium was hotly-contested. Kings Mountain posted a 25-4 win in game one, but the last three sets were extremely close throughout. East Burke won 25-23 and KM captured the third set 30-28 before closing out the match 25-19. Last year’s SMAC Player of the Year See Spikers, 2B

KM: comes from behind in fourth quarter to defeat East Rutherford 21-14 From Page 1B “It was a hard fought game,” said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “Both teams played hard and physical. But we had more mistakes than we did the previous three games combined and that put us behind the eight ball.” Following a touchback, the Mountaineers started the game at their own 20 yard line. Sophomore rushing standout Darian McClain, who finished with 149 yards rushing to lead both teams, ripped off an 11-yard gain around left end but fumbled. Just two plays later Kameron Garrison went right up the gut of the KM defense for a 20-yard run and 7-0 East lead. The Mountaineers battled back, though, driving 80 yards on 12 plays to tie the game on a 10-yard touchdown run by McClain. After a fumble recovery by Dwayne Capps at the 45, quarterback Brandon Bell hit split end Xavier Johnson on passes of 30 and 12 yards for a first down at the East 14. A holding penalty erased what would have been a goahead 10-yard touchdown run by McClain, and two plays later Bell coughed up the football at the East 11. KM drove into East territory again but was forced to punt; and East drove to the KM 24 before missing a 42yard field goal attempt. The fumble bug hit again on the Mountaineer’s next possession, as a hook and
lateral was pitched into the hands of a Cavalier defender at the 1:06 mark of the second quarter. Lineman Keenan Baker was injured on the play and will probably miss this week’s game with Burns. After a holding call pushed East back to its own 38, Dre Bell and Jake Merchant threw the Cavaliers for a three-yard loss to end the half. After Camp’s go-ahead TD, the KM defense buckled down and held the Cavaliers to just 18 yards rushing (on 18 carries) and one pass completion for five yards the rest of the way. KM’s fourth fumble recovery put the Cavaliers in business at the KM 33, but a 36-yard field goal attempt fell short. East appeared to be going for another touchdown on its next possession, but Chance Frederick recovered a fumble at the 1:12 mark of the third period. After two 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalties against the Cavaliers, KM took possession on its own 45 and Bell went off the right side 55 yards for the tying score. “That was a very big play,” Lloyd said of the fumble recovery. “Chance and Dre Bell both played really well. They were all over the field. They’re getting better every week.” Another sack by Dre Bell forced East to punt and KM took over on its own 12 yard line. Led by the power running of McClain, the Mountaineers worked their way to
the East 29. Bell went off the right side of the KM line again, this time for 29 yards and the winning touchdown. East returned the ensuing kickoff to the 40 and was able to pick up a first down at the KM 45 on a five-yard reception by Camp. But Chance Frederick and Dre Bell sacked the quarterback twice, and then Josh Bell and Julian Coulter dropped him for no gain on a fourth and 15 and the Cavaliers punted the ball away with 2:51 remaining. They wouldn’t touch the ball again as Kings Mountain ran the clock out. “We were a stronger team in the fourth quarter,” Lloyd noted. “We held them to several three and outs and scored two touchdowns. It was a good win.” The strong defense and improved blocking after the early big runs by East kept the Mountaineers in the game. “Our blocking was pretty good,” Lloyd said. “We had some breakdowns on defense early when they made some long runs but played pretty decent after that. As the game went on we blocked well and threw the ball well. “I believe we left a lot of points out there because of penalties and fumbles, but we still controlled the game, especially late,” he said. “Our fumbles kept them in the game. Turning the ball over that many times and still winning is the mark of a good team.”

Kings Mountain JV quarterback Madison Bolin (10) tries to stay inbounds in Thursday game with East Rutherford at Gamble Stadium.
KM’s Reese Rhinehardt helps an unidentified KM defender bring down East runner in Thursday game. KM plays its first away game Thursday at Burns.
Fumble recoveries set up KM JV win over Cavaliers Kings Mountain’s JVs used the strong running of Khal Welch and Roman Byers and an outstanding defensive effort to defeat East Rutherford 20-12 for their third straight win Thursday night at Gamble Stadium. With starting quarterback Darren Burns on the sidelines with a knee injury suffered early in the previous week’s win over Forestview, Madison Bolin took over at quarterback and directed an offense that sputtered at times but
also got good blocking to open the holes for the running backs. Kings Mountain’s defense leveled numerous big hits on the East Rutherford backs, forcing three fumbles that led to KM scores. Reese Rhinehardt’s fumble recovery at the East 15 yard line, followed by a 12-yard run around end by Kevin Mosely set up KM’s first score, a three-yard run by Byers with 3:43 left in the first half. Byers also ran a two-point conversion.
East rallied to score on a oneyard sneak by Juwan Blanton with just 14 seconds left in the half, but KM’s AJ Austin burst through to block the PAT and kept the Mountaineers on top 8-6. Following an onside kick, the Mountaineers went for a bomb but the Cavaliers Fonzbee Clyburn intercepted it and had a shot at returning it the distance before big Mason James of the Mountaineers leveled him with a jarring tackle at midfield to end the half.
A fumble recovery by Eric Garcia at the KM 47 set up a 53-yard drive midway of the third period which resulted in a six-yard touchdown burst by Byers. Malik Banner set it up with a 20-yard end around run. East fumbled again on the first play following the kickoff, and this time Collin Franks recovered for the Mountaineers at the Cavs’ 35. Bolin had two runs for 15 yards and Welch scored from nine yards out for a 20-6 lead.
East came right back with a four-play drive culminated by a 38-yard catch and run by David Hunt with 3:20 remaining in the game. Kings Mountain was led defensively by Franks, Garcia, Rhinehardt, Welch, Austin, Houston Carringer, Jerdon Pressley, and JT Cash. The Mountaineers play their first road game Thursday at Burns.
Fumbles costly as Patriots open with loss to Shelby
Kings Mountain’s Chris Brittain makes a spectacular one-handed catch for a touchdown in last week’s Kings Mountain Middle School game with Shelby at Gamble Stadium.
Shelby took advantage of two Kings Mountain fumbles to come from behind and defeat the Patriots 12-6 in the middle school football opener Wednesday at KM’s John Gamble Stadium. The host Patriots had taken a 6-0 first quarter lead on an outstanding one-hand 15yard touchdown catch by Chris Brittain. Kings Mountain drove 64 yards for the score behind good blocking, the pass-catch combo of quarterback Charles Osborne and Brittain, and good running by Kaylon Wade, Ricaylen Macky and Jason Pitts. But, Shelby’s defense adjusted and gave the KM offense problems on its next several possessions. After KM’s Xavier Brown recovered a Shelby fumble on the KM 21, a bad snap
from center resulted in Shelby recovering a fumble at the KM nine yard line. Two plays later the Blue Devils’ Isaac Green scored from the three to tie the game. On their second play following the ensuing kickoff, the Patriots fumbled again and this time Shelby’s Tavoris Scott picked it up and rambled 20 yards for the winning score. Brittain intercepted a Shelby pass at the KM 19 with 10 seconds left in the first half. Neither team offered a serious scoring threat in the second half, although the Patriots did drive to the Shelby 29 late in the game before losing the ball on downs. The Patriots open Tri-County East Division play today at Lincolnton and return home next Wednesday to face North Lincoln.

Lysek’s goal lifts Mountaineers to 1-0 victory over East Burke Brian Lysek’s goal with just over five minutes remaining in the game gave Kings Mountain High’s soccer team a 1-0 SMAC victory over East Burke Monday night at John Gamble Stadium. Lysek blasted his shot to the left of the keeper to break a scoreless deadlock and give the Mountaineers their second win in six SMAC outings. They are 3-6 overall. East Burke came into the match with a 1-5-1 record, with the tie coming against perennial state 2A power Shelby. Jarrett Ledford recorded his second shutout in a row in goal. KM 4, CHERRYVILLE 0 Kings Mountain defeated Cherryville 4-0 in a non-conference soccer game Wednesday at John Gamble Stadium. Robert Baker scored two goals and Arrick Rithiphong and Max Sappia one each. Baker opened the scoring at the 27th minute as he took a pass from Brian Lysek and headed in. Rithiphong scored at the 37th minute mark off a header from a long throw in from Robbie Lysek. Baker notched his second goal early in the second half off a header. Noah Coleman hit a scoop shot from 20 yards out that hit the crossbar and rebounded to Baker just eight minutes into the second half. Sappia took a through pass from Brian Lysek and went just inside the box and blasted a ball into the back side netting 14 minutes into the half. Jarrett Ledford and John Harris shared time in the net for the Mountaineers’ first shutout of the year. Kings Mountain hosts East Rutherford in a SMAC game Wednesday and

Be up to date with your childrens’ vaccinations Raleigh, N.C. - Department of Health and Human Services is reminding parents to ensure children are up-to-date with vaccines to avoid suspension from school. North Carolina law requires children who are home-schooled or attend a public, private, charter or religious school to be up-todate with North Carolina-required vaccinations within 30 calendar days from the first day of
school. Failure to show proof, such as shot records, will result in the suspension from school until the required immunization has been obtained. Vaccine-preventable diseases, such as chicken pox, meningitis, pertussis (whooping cough) and others, are still experienced throughout North Carolina. Staying up-to-date with Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention recommended vaccinations is the best way to protect schools and communities from diseases that can cause unnecessary illnesses and death. "Ensuring that children are current on all CDC-recommended vaccines is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children's health, that of their classmates and their communities," said Wendy Holmes, Head of the N.C.
Immunization Branch. For a complete list of required vaccines or additional information, visit: www.immunize.nc.gov Parents can view the recommended vaccine schedules to stay on track with immunizations for children from birth through age 18 on the CDC webpage: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/childadolescent.html

Patriots Day in KM ELIZABETH STEWART
Kings Mountain Firefighter Matthew Moss stands aside a symbolic bell at a Patriot Day event Thursday downtown.
Life changed forever all across America and every part of our globe on Sept. 11, 2001. Thirteen years after the nearly 3,000 people who died that day at the hands of 19 terrorists Kings Mountain people remembered in a solemn ceremony Thursday at noon in front of Kings Mountain City Hall. “We will never forget," said Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey, speaker for the annual Patriot Day which also recognized law enforcement, first responders, firemen, and emergency teams. But Murphrey said that from that tragedy on 9/11 emerged a stronger nation, renewed by the spirit of national pride and a true love for country. “We could never imagine terrorist attacks that we have read about and observed on television occurring in distant lands could ever happen in America but on that day an unprovoked and horrific, cowardly act of terrorism occurred when four commercial aircraft were hijacked and death plunged from the sky in New York City, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. We will always remember where we were and what we were doing when our nation came under attack," said Murphrey.
He told the 30-40 people who stood quietly in front of a huge American flag draped over the front of city hall that Kings Mountain is a grateful community. “We send the message loud and clear that we are united behind our troops and we will keep alive that same spirit and hope that led America in so many crises. We will never forget.” In the invocation, KMPD Chief Melvin Proctor asked God to bless the families of 9/11 victims, and those who sacrificed their lives to help others, and prayed for the children whose parents and grandfathers didn't return home and left a void in their lives. "Bring us back to One Nation Under God," he said. Prior to the service Sara Workman of Emmanuel Baptist Church played “Going Home” and later in the service “Amazing Grace” on bag pipes and a firefighter tolled the fire bell after which Workman played “Taps.” The KMPD Honor Guard advanced and retired the colors, Fire Chief Frank Burns led the Pledge of Allegiance and Shana Adams' beautiful rendition of “The National Anthem” enhanced the impressive 20-minute Patriot Day service.

An Education in Identity Theft for college students By Attorney General Roy Cooper Starting college is a time of new friends, new knowledge and new opportunities. For many students, it also means new responsibilities including making financial decisions. It’s important that people starting out in life learn to protect their personal information to guard against identity theft. Identity theft usually happens when someone steals your personal information and uses it to run up debts in your name. ID theft can cost you a lot of money and can hurt your credit, which could keep you from getting loans, credit cards, or even a job. College students can be especially vulnerable to ID
theft. They’re in a new environment with people they don’t know well, they usually have clean credit histories, and they may be less cautious and more likely to share personal information, for example through social media. Nearly one out of five victims of identity theft is between the ages of 18-24, according to the Federal Trade Commission. When college-age consumers do become victims of identity theft, they’re slow to report it and seek help, taking on average more than four months to report it. If you’re a college student, take steps now to protect yourself from identity theft: • Protect your personal
information. Don’t share your Social Security Number, account numbers or other details with anyone you don’t know who contacts you.
in your name, freeze your credit for free online. Learn how at ncdoj.gov/freefreeze. • Keep all financial info in a safe place. Don’t leave your credit card, bills or other financial documents lying around your dorm or apartment. Lock up or forward financial information to your parents’ address, and shred financial documents you don’t need.
• Monitor your credit card and bank accounts and report any purchases that aren’t yours immediately. • Check your credit report. You can get one free credit report per year from each of the three credit reporting bureaus at annualcreditreport.com. Use your free reports to check your credit every four months and report any activity that isn’t yours.
• Opt out of pre-approved credit card offers. An ID thief can steal one of these offers, fill it out, and get a credit card in your name. Go t o www.optoutprescreen.com or call 1-888-5OPT-OUT to stop getting theses offers in the mail.
• Consider a free security freeze. To keep criminals from opening new accounts
Remember that future employers and graduate schools may also consider social media activity when making hiring and admissions decisions.
• Protect yourself online. Log off your laptop, mobile phone or tablet if you aren’t using it. Keep anti-virus software up-to-date. Use strong, difficult to guess passwords and consider using two-step authentication for online accounts.
This has been a crash course in how to protect your personal financial information and reduce your risk of identity theft. For more information on protecting your personal information and help if you’ve become a victim of identity theft, visit www.ncdoj.gov. Attorney General Roy Cooper and his staff are here to serve North Carolina consumers when you need us, but through consumer education efforts like these columns we hope to help you avoid problems from the start.
• Use Wi-Fi wisely. Limit activity on public Wi-Fi to surfing only, not checking your bank account or making purchases. Ask an employee to make sure you connect to the correct Wi-Fi network instead of falling for a copycat. • Think carefully about what you share online. Sharing too much personal information can leave you vulnerable to hackers, scammers and other criminals.
