County to sweeten the pot on development? ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
Cleveland County commissioners were expected to sweeten the pot Tuesday night with incentives for a new data center in Kings Mountain and a new hotel in Shelby, expected to bring 27 new jobs and an investment of $78 million to the county. The Kings Mountain economic development project – code named Project Hawk – is located at 131 Riverside Court in what is known as
the T5 Data Center Park, where AT&T and Disney developments are located. The new data center intends to create 10 new, permanent full time jobs, including contracted services, in five years with a total initial investment of $70 million, including installations by tenants. The company will start upfitting the shell building and will begin operations in half of the building the first quarter of 2014. The Shelby economic develop-
ment project, Project Hampton, would create 15 new full time permanent jobs over the next two years and create a new investment of $8 million. The new structure, a 86 room facility, would go up on Cleveland Mall property in the spot previously occupied by a movie theater. Construction is expected to begin in two months. Between Jan. 1 and March 31 each year of the 10 year grant, the county will make an incentive grant payment to the data center in annual
amounts equal to 65% of the county general ad valorem taxes (with the current rate being $0.57 per $100 valuation) on real and personal property paid by the company to the county during the preceding calendar year. Both grants include stipulation that prior year taxes have been paid to the county. Between Jan. 1 and March 31 of each of the first three years of the grant term the county would make an incentive grant payment to the
hotel management in annual amount equal to 90% of the county ad valorem taxes (the current rate being .72 cents per $100 valuation) on real and personal property. Between Jan. 1 and March 31 of each of the last five years of the grant term, the county would make an incentive grant payment annually of 50 percent of the county ad valorem taxes on real and personal property paid on the project by the company to the county during the preceding calendar year.
New fire district ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
“No Man’s Land,’’ the common label in south Kings Mountain for the present Class 10 fire district, may soon become no more with the creation of the new Kings Mountain Rural Fire District. At the Herald’s press time Tuesday night the Cleveland County board of commissioners was voting on a new contract with the City of Kings Mountain to provide fire
protection to over 100 in the community on York Road 161, Lake Montonia Road, Alex Owens Road, the old city lake area and Shepherd Mountain. The contract, if approved by the county board, will be voted on by Kings Mountain City Council next Tuesday night and if inked by that board will result in substantial insurance savings to those homeowners. “We live in an uncovered “no See NEW FIRE DISTRICT, 4A
Meet the candidates Kings Mountain Woman's Club will sponsor “Meet the Candidates� Monday night at 6 p.m.at the Woman's Club on East Mountain Street. Invitations have been extended to candidates for city council, county school board and water board to at-
tend the meeting. Each candidate will have three minutes to state their platforms and afterward can talk with the public and socialize with those attending during a social hour. The public is invited.
Redrawing of ward lines to include newly annexed areas of the city is on the agenda for public hearing Tuesday night at 6 p.m. by Kings Mountain City Council. Several areas of the city have been annexed since the last elections. Those annexed areas will be assigned voter
precincts and people living in those areas would be prospective voters. The proposed ordinance would amend the city charter redrawing the ward lines (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and placing newly annexed areas into voting precincts for the City of Kings Mountain.

A group of Kings Mountain citizens and business advocates is publicly supporting a potential Catawba Indian gaming and resort facility, saying that such an addition to the community would add not only jobs but also economic diversity to the area. The Kings Mountain Advisory Council to the Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce voted last week to support a casino and hotel
complex that could open its doors as early as 2015. “It’s a show of support,â€? said Gina Collias, the council’s chairperson. “It means jobs and people and homes ‌ and an increased tax base.â€? The public support from the local group came just days after the Catawba Indian Nation filed an application with federal authorities to buy 16 acres of land where Dixon School Road and Interstate 85 intersect, just a few miles south of
downtown. The Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce, which the council reports to, has also publicly voiced its support for the development. “For more than a decade, Cleveland County has faced high unemployment and economic challenges, given the loss of our manufacturing infrastructure,� said Chamber President Michael Chrisawn. “While many North See CASINO, 4A
Harris to lead Y diabetes program Ashley Harris of Kings Mountain is the new Director of the Y Diabetes Prevention Program. Cameron Corder, CEO of the Cleveland County YMCA, made the announcement this week and said, “I’m very excited about welcoming Ashley to our team and am looking forward to her leadership around this important issue.� Harris has most recently worked as an emergency room nurse with Cleveland County Hospital System. She has also worked for the hospital system as a nurse educator at the Diabetes Center. “As a nurse and as a parent of a child who was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at the age of 2, I have seen the devastation that diabetes, both Type I and 2 can cause,� said Harris. “What impas-
sions me the most is that so many of the complications, and type 2 diabetes itself can be preventable. It is Ashley Harris exciting for me to be a part of a prevention program. So much of what I have seen in my nursing career is directly related to the havoc that this disease can cause.� Corder added, “Ashley is highly regarded within our YMCA. She has been a wonderful advocate for the Y and with her passion and enthusiasm she will
take our diabetes program to a new level.� The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is an innovative model to help reduce the burden of chronic disease. The Cleveland County YMCA finds itself at a perfect juncture with access to a proven program and a pressing community need. The Y will be assisted by the Centers for Disease Control and YMCA of the USA. The program is being partially supported by a grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation. Mrs. Harris is wife of John O. Harris III of Kings Mountain. They have three children: John, 13, and twins Abby and Layla, 11. Mrs. Harris is the daughter of Mal and Shirley Brutko of Kings Mountain and the late Roy Gossett.

Gin twins stir up new liquors DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Southern Artisan Spirits, the Kings Mountain distillery that produces the award-winning and strong-selling Cardinal Gin, has recently released two new liquors that the small company hopes will stand out on crowded shelves, both locally and internationally. Charlie and Alex Mauney, the twins who started their micro-distillery on South Cansler Street four years ago, have released Butcher Whiskey and Turning Point Rye as white liquors for now. The plan is to test the market and explore distribution opportunities before going ahead with more time-consuming and labor-intensive barrel-aged whiskeys. And there’s a new twist on
their well-received gin that’s coming down the pipe. The 32-year-old entrepreneurs are experimenting and testing a barrel-aged gin, which would be a novel entry in the spirits market. Like other kinds of
liquor, the barrel-aging process would transform their gin into a dark, smoky beverage and take on some of the qualities of bourbon. The Mauney brothers, who say they work 12-hour
days seven days a week, have built the business from a dream they both had in 2009. Although they are the company’s only employees, they’ve forged inroads into some of the largest markets in
the South and Europe. The company ships its products to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Wisconsin. They say they’re now close to distribution contracts in Kentucky and Indiana. And in Europe, demand has been high for retailers in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, and the Netherlands. They also report strong interest coming from Belgium. The twins returned from a food and wine festival in Asheville in August where a bartending competition incorporated theirs and other Tar Heel beverages. Several years into the thriving business – which has seen sales top 30,000 bottles – Alex and Charlie remain the distillery’s only two employees, although dad Jim does pitch in a lot.
“Probably have to hire some people soon,� Alex said. “It’s grown faster than we thought.� The Mauneys are looking ahead to the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in April, where last year their Cardinal American Dry Gin won a Double Gold Medal and was the only domestic gin to win such high praise in the annual showing. Their gin also won bronze in a London world competition in 2011. The twins’ Cardinal gin is in fact one of the most awarded micro-distilled gins in the country, earning a 93 rating from the Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago. It came in as the highest rated domestic gin and tied Beefeater for the highest in the world.
$10,000 raffle prize goes to Hamrick Community wide The Kings Mountain Historical Museum’s 10th annual reverse raffle and auctions drew about two hundred donors to the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center Saturday, on a night that culminated in a grand prize drawing for $10,000. Along the way, dozens of ticket holders picked up door prizes ranging from minor league baseball season tickets, steaks, grocery store and restaurant gift cards and artwork. The event featured live auctions for things ranging from passes to Walt Disney theme parks, jewelry and cooking classes to yard work from professional landscapers. There were also silent auctions for sports memorabilia, dermatological care, framed artwork and many baked goods. All auction items were donated. The winner of the grand
prize was Shelby resident Gordon Hamrick, who bought the winning ticket from his cousin, Larry Hamrick, Sr. “I was certainly thrilled to hear that I won. I didn’t expect that,� Hamrick said, adding that he wasn’t able to attend the raffle because he was celebrating his brother Rush’s birthday party in Blowing Rock. “I’ve always been happy to support the museum.� “I would like to thank everyone here tonight for supporting our mission. I hope everyone enjoys the evening, and we look forward to seeing you all again at our upcoming exhibits, events and programs,� said Susan Champion, the president of the museum’s board of directors. It was the first time the annual raffle and silent auction was held at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior
prayer vigil Thursday
The winner of the KM Historical Museum’s $10,000 grand prize was Shelby resident Gordon Hamrick (right), who bought the winning ticket from his cousin, Larry Hamrick, Sr. Center. “We were really pleased with the facility,� said Adria Focht, the museum’s director and curator, adding that the 286 ticket sales were close to a record breaker. “It’s definitely the highest since the recession hit.� Tickets for the raffle were $100.
A community-wide prayer vigil for those who died in the recent mass shooting at the Naval Yard in Washington, DC will be held Thursday evening, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. at Bynum Chapel AME Zion Church, 213 Cansler Street, in downtown Kings Mountain. “Our nation is definitely in crisis,� said Bynum Chapel Pastor the Rev. Luke Curry Sr. “We are calling communities of faith and churches to come together and begin to pray. There is still power in prayer.� ''The one hour service is an opportunity for the community to unite as one and pray for the victims and their families,� he said.

NEW FIRE DISTRICT: planned for KM ‘no man’s land’ From page 1A man’s land� (Class 10) area and very few insurance companies will write a policy,’’ said Kings Mountain insurance agent Suzanne Amos of the Amos Agency. Amos and her husband live on Shepherd Mountain, six miles from the city, and their homeowners insurance was canceled because of the Class 10 designation. “I am so grateful that the county and city are negotiating a contract for fire protection,’’ said Amos. Insurance man Bobby Maner, of B.F. Maner Agency, said that homeowners will receive a substantial savings on insurance. He said the state Insurance Service Office evaluates coverage areas about every seven years and the Class 10 district meant high costs for property owners but he said the new district will bring insurance availability to homeowners. “Now we will be able to buy homeowners insurance from standard companies with better rates and from those companies that would not write a policy for homes in a Class 10 fire district or “no man’s land,’’ he said. Kings Mountain Fire Chief Frank Burns said the new classification would be 9.S The proposed contract specifies that the city will provide fire protection for structures only in the fire district. The local fire department would continue to share a mutual aid assistance agreement with the Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department for the purpose of providing fire protection service in the event of grass fires, wood fires, and fires which may result from motor vehi-
cle accidents or any other kinds of fires which may occur in the area. Kings Mountain Fire Department would be the primary provider. Under the agreement, the county would make payment to the City of Kings Mountain of an amount equal to three cents per one hundred dollars ($100) of property valuation in the fire service protection area. This amount would be paid to the city semi-annually, in July and January of each year. The contract also stipulates that city firemen remain at the scene of the fire until the incident has been cared for and all necessary reports are completed. Copies of all calls within the fire protection service area by the city shall be to the county fire marshal’s office on a monthly basis. The Cleveland County Fire Marshal’s office shall provide any fire investigations that may be necessary and prepare any paperwork which may result from an investigation by the county Fire Marshal’s office. “Signing off on the contract will really help our area,’’ said Amos, who operates her insurance business in downtown Kings Mountain, an approximate six minute car ride from her home on Shepherd Mountain. Amos, Maner, and many other residents south of the city have been lobbying city and county leaders for several years to help bring their insurance ratings down by creating a rural fire district. The homeowners in the area are not inside-city residents but some work in the city and Greater Kings Mountain area.

From page 1A Carolinians are witnessing an economic recovery, our region of the state has witnessed what amounts to a prolonged economic depression.â€? Much of the talk about the possibility of such a large development – in the Chamber, the advisory council and elsewhere – has been about a potential boost in the jobs scene that might accompany it. “I think that if it’s any where near the number the jobs that we’ve been hearing, it will be a boon to Kings Mountain,â€? said David Faunce, a real estate developer who sits on the Chamber’s Kings Mountain advisory council. “It would be transformative ‌ I feel like there’s going to be more opportunities for everyone, no matter their skill level.â€? The casino and resort complex is reported to bring in the neighborhood of 3,500 new jobs to the area. Kings Mountain also stands to benefit directly from the entertainment complex because the city would likely be its sole supplier of water and electricity, Faunce said. He added that any business located within city limits would be required by state law – at least for a few years until it can establish a direct contract with state ABC authorities – to acquire its liquor from the local Alcohol Beverage Control Board. Faunce also serves as secretary for Kings
Mountain’s ABC Board. News of the possible development in Kings Mountain has brought immediate comparisons to Cherokee, the small Jackson County city located about 135 miles from Kings Mountain. In the mid-1990s, it welcomed a casino operated jointly by gaming giant Harrah’s Entertainment and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. It has since evolved into a large complex that at least two studies say is the largest private tourist attraction in the state, drawing more than 3.5 million visitors a year. Still, the idea to bring a casino to Kings Mountain has met opposition by some members of the North Carolina General Assembly. Earlier this month, 103 members of the state House of Representatives signed a letter opposing the project. A casino-resort project like the one proposed in Kings Mountain does not require the approval of N.C. lawmakers, but state legislators’ stance on it could have an impact on gaming licenses down the road. Tim Moore, a Kings Mountain Republican who represents the 111th House District, has voiced his support for the proposed development. “You can’t treat one tribe different from the other,� he said, referring to the success of Harrah’s in Cherokee, and noting that the federal government’s Bureau of Indian Affairs has the ultimate author-
ity in approving land trusts that pave the way for Indian gaming. N.C. Governor Pat McCrory has also voiced opposition to the development. “I’ve seen no argument to justify it whatsoever,� he told an Associated Press reporter on Friday. Many of the lawmakers – including the governor, who received $4,000 in 2012 – have received thousands of dollars in political contributions from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. For Collias, the casino represents an important opportunity to Kings Mountain and Cleveland County to survive in the long-term. “Look at Harrisburg,� she said, referring to the Charlotte suburb. “It has not had the success that Concord has. “The Charlotte Motor Speedway wanted to locate in Harrisburg. It didn’t want to be in Concord initially. Harrisburg said absolutely not.� She said Concord also “raised its hand� after Gastonia rejected a federal grant that would have helped build a Leerjet capable airport. “You’ve got to look at the big picture,� Collias said last week after the advisory council meeting. “We sit at a strategic location. Our connection and link to Charlotte, Asheville, Greenville and Spartanburg is clear. I don’t think of the casino as defining Kings Mountain. It’s a piece of the puzzle.�

More access to health insurance starts Oct. 1, but con artists see opportunity for new scams Raleigh: Key provisions of the Affordable Care Act are set to start October 1, giving more consumers access to health insurance coverage. Unfortunately, con artists are likely to use the changes to pitch new scams, Attorney General Roy Cooper warns. “Scammers are very good at taking the latest hot topic and turning it into a chance to rip you off, and we expect to see this with health care reform,� Cooper said. “Keep up your guard and don’t let the scammers keep you from getting access to quality health insurance.� The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division is watching closely for several scams that are likely to emerge in coming weeks, including: Scammers using the U.S. Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, as an excuse to call or email you and request your personal information. (We issued an alert last year about the possibility of such scams.) Attempts to sell people phony insurance plans such as medical discount plans, which are not really health insurance but simply make you eligible for discounts from participating doctors, dentists, hospitals and pharmacies. Impersonating official ACA navigators to try to steal your personal information or money. Consumers are encouraged to report potential scams to Cooper’s office by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM tollfree within North Carolina or by filing a consumer complaint form online at ncdoj.gov.

torney General’s Office by consumers in North Carolina yet, the Federal Trade Commission has reported getting complaints about callers pretending to be with Medicare. The callers request personal information, claiming to need it if the consumer wants to continue to be eligible for Medicare–even though the ACA doesn’t put Medicare eligibility or benefits at risk. In other states, people have also reported getting calls from insurance companies trying to pressure consumers into making a quick decision on a health care plan, threatening them with higher prices if they wait until after October 1 to purchase insurance. Consumers will still be able to shop for traditional health insurance policies directly from insurance companies after October 1, when they’ll also be able to start shopping for coverage via the Health Insurance Marketplace set up under the ACA. To avoid scams related to ACA implementation: If someone contacts you and asks you to give personal information such as your Social Security Number or bank account number in order to get benefits under the ACA or Obamacare, don’t do it. No legitimate government agency or company will call, email or text you for this information. Be skeptical of anyone who offers to help you understand the ACA if you pay them first. If someone claims to be an official ACA navigator, don’t just take their word for it. Ask for their credentials and then do your own research to determine if they are legitimate. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that their company is the only place you can buy health insurance that complies with the law. Don’t do business with anyone who threatens you or tries to intimidate you. Before you purchase a new health insurance policy, make sure you ask for and read the details of the plan carefully. Avoid so-called “discount health plans� that aren’t really insurance coverage and may leave you without the coverage you need. “Your personal information, your money and your health are all precious to you. Don’t fall for a scam that could put them at risk,� Cooper warned.

and senior citizens. The Verdeen family will keep you laughing. There's the bossy Aunt La Merle, played by Teresa Williams, who has been a thorn in everyone's side for long enough. She also prides herself on hosting the annual family reunion and keeping the family's reputation as shiny as a new coat of wax on a hardwood floor –doesn't matter to her what someone might be dealing with – as long as the public doesn't find out. Gaynelle Verdeen Bodeen ( Susan Champion), is a loving person on the edge of snapping; her husband has left her for another, and Aunt La Merle has pushed her one too many times. When they wedge a bet on which one can make the best red velvet cake, Gaynelle bets her house that she will win against LaMerle. The thing is, LaMerle is known the town over for making the best red velvet cake for years. Jimmie Wyvette Verdeen, or Jimmie Wy, as her cousins call her, (Bridget Allen) is a tomboy with a uni-brow( bless her heart) who is in a war of her own with neighbor Bitsy Hargis (Judy Jones) for the heart of the
widower next door. Peaches Veradeen Belrose (Dawn Rickus) is loudtalking and fun-loving and happens to be the best mortuarial cosmetologist in this part of Texas. She, too, has her own “man� issues. These three cousins decide they are going to put Aunt La Merle in her place once and for all by hosting this year's Verdeen family reunion themselves and by helping Gaynelle make the best red velvet cake, ever. It’s going to become whirlwind of a week; and they will stop at nothing to make this reunion a success. “The Red Velvet Cake War� also features KMLT veterans, Greg Dixon as Newt Blockage, Punkin Higgingbotham as Mamma Doll Hargis, Michael Medlin as Purvis Verdeen, Andy Neisler as Uncle Aubrey Verdeen, Linda Nicholas as Elsa Dowdall, Sean Whitworth as Sheriff Grover Lout, and Nikki Wood as Cee Cee Windham. KMLT is supported in part by a Grassroots Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency, and is a funded affiliate of the Cleveland County Arts Council.

KM company helps to bring new life to old mill By Alan Hodge Special to the Herald
Thanks to the vision of John Church, CEO of Waterstone Asset Management and Church Realty, new life is likely going to be breathed into Belmont’s oldest cotton mill. Located on Catawba St., the 110,000 sq. ft. Chronicle Mill was built in 1901 by R.L. Stowe and other investors. Workers who laid the bricks for the imposing three-story structure earned $1.75 for every thousand they put down. Timber and other lumber used in the building cost $13 per thousand board feet delivered to the site. The mill’s name was chosen to honor a Revolutionary War patriot from Gaston County, Major William Chronicle, who had lived near the mill site and was killed in the Battle of King’s Mountain in October 1780. The first bale of cotton was fed into the Chronicle Mill’s steam-powered machinery on Feb. 28, 1902. By 1908, the mill was powered by electricity, a move that doubled production. In time, countless cones of cotton thread would be spun at the Chronicle Mill until it finally shut down a couple of years ago.
POLICE From page 2A registration. SEPT. 13: Montrell D. Floyd, Gastonia, displaying expired inspection certificate. INCIDENTS SEPT. 6: A resident of Pennington Place reported damage to property after a chair was used to break a glass storm door. SEPT. 6: A resident of Church St. reported breaking and entering and larceny of $600 in cash and $200 in assorted jewelry. A bedroom closet door and a back door and its framing were damaged in the incident, at an estimated cost of $380. A 37� TV valued at $800 was recovered after the incident. SEPT. 9: East Elementary school reported that a storage building was vandalized with spray paint resulting in $12 in damage. SEPT. 9: The City of Kings Mountain reported that an electricity meter valued at $50 was stolen on Linwood Rd. SEPT. 9: Baker Dental on E. King St. reported breaking and entering and damage to an exterior metal door and a dead bolt lock. SEPT. 9: A resident of Chesterfield Ct. reported breaking and entering and theft of WIC (women, infants and children) food vouchers of an unknown value. SEPT. 10: 238 Cherokee Grill reported the theft of food and services after a patron left the establishment without paying for a meal and drinks totaling $44. SEPT. 10: Kings Food Store on Waco Rd. reported fraud by credit card after a customer attempted to purchase $35 in gas with a fraudulent credit card. SEPT. 11: A resident of Cranford Dr. reported the theft of a snub nose .38 revolver valued at $110.
Following its closing, the Chronicle Mill machinery was sold and the once bustling factory sat empty and its fate in doubt- until Church, who lives in Cramerton, saw the potential of the building with its six acres of property and purchased them both. “After I bought the place my original intent was to tear it down and recycle the materials,� Church said. “But once I began to peel back the layers and see the maple floors, yellow heart pine beams, and the original brickwork, I saw the beauty and potential of the building and changed my mind.� According to Church, he hasn’t reached a definite decision on just exactly what the final incarnation of the Chronicle Mill will be. Possibilities could be residential and or office space. A large warehouse out back could become a gym or performing arts venue. The fact that the property backs up to the Carolina Thread Trail is another plus. Getting the Chronicle Mill from where it is now, structurally and aesthetically, to Church’s vision is going to take a lot of work, and money. “I have a team of architects, engineers, contractors, and environmental people working on the project to see
SEPT. 11: A resident of Shelby reported $300 in damage to the back window of a vehicle at Kings Mountain High School.

SEPT. 15: Police reported the recovery of a stolen 1998 Acura at the intersection of 74 Bypass and Hwy. 216. SEPT. 15: A resident of Afton Dr. reported the theft of $100 worth of copper wire.

The estimated damages to each vehicle were $1,000. SEPT. 12: Officer B.C. McGinnis said a 2000 Pontiac operated by Amanda L. Whittington struck a 2007 Chevrolet operated by Patricia C. Allen as both vehicles were traveling east on Shelby Rd. The estimated damages to the Pontiac and the Chevrolet were $800 and $1,000, respectively. SEPT. 12: Officer B.C.

what we have and if it can be renovated,� said Church. “I’m also contacting potential investors.� Right now, Church has a crew from Kings Mountainbased Applied Abatement Concepts knocking modern bricks out of the large, original 1901 window frames. In some places the bricks are four layers deep. Bill Beard is one of the workers tackling that job. “We bust out the bottom layer and then get on a scaffold to knock out the ones at the top of the window frames,� Beard said. Another big job will be removal of the truck-sized old air conditioning unit on the rear of the mill. “We’ll use a track hoe to pull it down,� said Beard. Other structural considerations that Church says will have to be examined soon include the roof and condition of the sprinkler system pipes. In the meantime, Church says he hopes to have reached a decision in 90 days or so on the direction he wants to take the Chronicle Mill. “A lot of people worked really hard in that mill,� he said. “I’m a big fan of Belmont and I want to develop this part of the community as a live, work, play destination.�

Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Khalil Hopper (7) applies the pressure to East Rutherford quarterback Austin Hollifield in Friday game at KMHS.
Kings Mountain football coach Greg Lloyd said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at all happy after his Mountaineers fell to East Rutherford 34-20 in their first-ever SMAC game Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. But, after seeing the video over the weekend he said the loss â&#x20AC;&#x153;wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as disappointing.â&#x20AC;? The difference, he said, came down to a few mistakes that he feels the team can correct. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was obvious the two blocked punts were not a lack of knowing what to do, but the lack of effort really hurt us,â&#x20AC;? he said. East Rutherford blocked the Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first two punts, returning the second one 30 yards for a touchdown and a quick 7-0 lead. What could have been a disaster on the first blocked punt on the KM 11 yard line was averted on great back-
to-back defensive plays by linebacker Alex Reynolds, who threw East back Kameron Garrison for a loss and then intercepted a pass. Kings Mountain rebounded to tie the score at 7all on a six-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Bell to Khalil Hopper, but more Mountaineer miscues helped East build a 20-7 halftime lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We turned the ball over and let them convert a third and long,â&#x20AC;? Coach Lloyd noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we played hard. East Rutherford has a bunch of good athletes. We just had three or four bad plays that cost us.â&#x20AC;? Kings Mountain rallied to score on two straight possessions in the third quarter to tie the game at 20-all. Both Mountaineer touchdowns came on passes from Bell to Tico Crocker. See Mistakes, 3B
Mountaineers at Burns Friday Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountaineers will face a state championship caliber opponent for the second time in three weeks Friday when they travel to Fallston to face the Burns Bulldogs. Fourth year Burns coach Matt Beam could have his best team yet, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying something since the Bulldogs have three straight SMAC championships under their belt. Kings Mountain hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beaten the Bulldogs since Beamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year at the helm (2009), but the Mountaineers have played them some close games. Led by all-star quarterback Chris Montgomery as well as a host of quick backs and receivers,
the Bulldogs havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a close game yet. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve defeated Ashbrook and Freedom, two perennial 3A powers, as well as Hunter Huss and a very improved Chase team. Kings Mountain goes into the game with a 2-2 record after losing back-to-back games to Forestview and East Rutherford. KM began its season with wins over Hunter Huss and East Gaston. Montgomery, who has committed to UNC Charlotte, is one of the best running-passing quarterbacks in the state. He has a host of running backs, led by Tylan Ruff, and a big line to block for him.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very impressive,â&#x20AC;? says KM Coach Greg Lloyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all the ingredients size, speed and experience. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a solid team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely, this is one of the best Burns teams Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;? Lloyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a state championship caliber team. They have size and speed and a lot of older kids that have played for a long time.â&#x20AC;? Lloyd is confident his Mountaineers will give their best effort this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played well against them in the past and I think we could again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an awful good chance to beat them up there last year but had some
dropped balls that hurt us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing I want to do is play mistake-free football,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get better will be our objective.â&#x20AC;? Kings Mountain hopes to have several players back that were out due to injuries last week, and others who were injured during the game with East Rutherford. Chance Fredrick and Dre Bell both missed the game and Josh Bell, Julian Coulter and Douglas Edgerton missed most of the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dre Bell was going to start at linebacker last week,â&#x20AC;? Coach Lloyd noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came to us right before the game and said his back See Mountaineers, 3B

Sabien Beam gets off a big run for Kings Mountain Middle School in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opener with Crest at John Gamble Stadium.
Quick start keys Crest over Patriots Crest Middle scored on its first two possessions and went on to defeat Kings Mountain 20-0 in the season opener for both teams Wednesday at KMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Gamble Stadium. The Patriots had numerous scoring opportunities later in the game but the Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense rose to the occasion each time to keep them out of the end zone. Kings Mountain was scheduled to open Eastern Division Tri-County Conference play yesterday at North Lincoln. The Patriots travel to East Lincoln next Wednesday for a 5 p.m. game. Crest quarterback Jhalen Cannon scored on an 18yard run to open the scoring with 5:46 left in the first period. After stopping KM on downs at the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 34, the Dragons scored again on a 35 yard pass from Cannon to Avery Eddings. Davion Pryor ran for a two-point conversion to bring the score to 14-0. The Kings Mountain defense stiffened after that and held the Dragons until late in the game when Cannon broke a 50-yard touchdown run. After the Dragons went up 14-0, the Patriots got their

MISTAKES: costly in 34-30 KM loss to ER Cavs From Page 1B Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the Cavaliers turned up their game and quarterback Austin Hollifield hit Calvin Camp for a 27-yard gain on a third and 15 situation, and KM committed a 15-yard face mask penalty on the very next play to put the visitors on the eight yard line. Two plays later Hollifield found Garrison in the end zone to go up 27-20. Tico Crocker returned the ensuing kickoff to the 36, and 15 yards were tacked on after a helmet to helmet hit on the tackle, putting the
Mountaineers in business at the East 49. They worked the ball down to the East 8 before a bad snap from center and two incomplete passes ended the drive at the 21. The Cavaliers, behind the running of reserve quarterback A.J. Miller, drove the distance to put the game on ice. East did a good job defensively against KMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running attack, holding the Mountaineers to 64 yards. Bell, playing in just his fourth varsity game, continued to impress at quarterback, hitting 17 of 27 passes for 191 yards and all three
KM touchdowns. He has thrown nine touchdown passes in the first four games. Freshman Jake Merchant hauled in four passes for 69 yards and Crocker caught six for 64 yards. Hopper continued to improve at the tight end position, grabbing four passes for 45 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had played a little better we would have won the game,â&#x20AC;? Coach Lloyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was pretty evident on the video. We just made too many mistakes and too many penalties. We just have to have a little better effort.â&#x20AC;?

But the Crest defense held tough, forcing two incomplete passes and a loss on downs. The Patriots next possession ended with a pass interception at the Dragons 13 yard line.

Mountaineers beat East Burke, at East Rutherford tonight East Burke scored just two minutes into the match but Kings Mountain came back to defeat the Cavaliers 2-1 in a SMAC soccer game Monday night at East Burke. Steven Xiong beat two Mountaineer defenders and drilled a shot to the near corner. The Mountaineers struck back quickly at the four minute mark as Robbie Lysek scored off a long throw in from Isaiah Cole. Robert Baker passed the long throw off his chest to Lysek who hammered the shot for the equalizer. Although both teams had several good looks at goal, neither
wold find the back of the net as the first half ended in a 1-1 tie. As the second half began the Mountaineers put the host team under a lot of pressure and won a corner kick just 1 minute and 40 seconds in the second period. Senior co-captain Cameron Hord placed the corner just inside the six yard box to the back post where Isaiah Cole placed the header across the goal frame and into the side netting for the game winner. "Jarrettt Ledford did an outstanding job in the goal for us tonight," said Coach Dan Potter. Potter also praised the efforts of de-
fenders Tyler Batcher, Adam Kiser, Jordan Sweezy and co-captain JonMark Smith. "This was a total team defensive effort against a very skilled and well coached East Burke team," Potter said. The Mountaineers will stay on the road with matches against East Rutherford Wednesday and West Lincoln Thursday.
KM falls to Highland Highland Tech came from behind in the second half to defeat
Kings Mountain 3-2 in a non-conference soccer game Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium. Kings Mountain took a 1-0 lead 25 minutes into the first half. Isaiah Cole scored as Jonmark Smith served a perfect direct kick into the penalty area that Cole redirected into the net. Each team had numerous looks at goal but the half ended 1-0. Zac Vlasich scored just three minutes into the second period to tie the score for Highland Tech. A minute later, Kings Mountain responded with a goal from Robbie Lysek off a near impossible angle
off the right wing. Max Sappia had a fantastic chance to put the Mountaineers up further but missed a close range shot with his left foot. Highland’s Dylan Dorfmeister got the equalizer midway through the half as the visitors began to pressure the home side. With just under five minutes remaining, Highland’s Owen Levy scored the game-winner. Kings Mountain fell to 3-6 while Highland Tech improved to 3-5.

JV Mountaineers beat East, host Burns in first home game Kings Mountain High’s road warriors JV football team finally plays its first home game Thursday at 7 p.m. when county rival Burns visits John Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers won their third straight road game Thursday night at East Rutherford, 24-13, after having previously beaten Gaston County rivals Hunter Huss and Forestview. Freshman quarterback Darren Burns had a big night, throwing 70 and 63yard touchdown passes to Chris Robbins and Trenton Moore, respectively. Burns also ran three two-point conversions. Kings Mountain’s other touchdown came on an 80yard run from Corey Tate. Kings Mountain got a big defensive effort from linemen DJ Sumpter, Zavier Roberts and Trevon Wilson as well as a great effort from the linebackers and defen-

Sumpter, Wilson and Roberts combined for several sacks and multiple tackles for loss. Kavin Mosely intercepted two
passes and Dylan Sims and Moore had one pick apiece. The Mountaineers grabbed an early 16-0 lead and East Rutherford scored
late in the second quarter on a long pass to cut the margin to 16-7 at the half. Kings Mountain increased its lead to 24-7 late in the third quarter and had a fourth quarter touchdown called back on a penalty. East scored late in the game to account for the final margin. “Our kids played extremely hard,” noted KM Coach Jon Fleisher. “We obviously had some mental miscues and a few troubles in getting the correct personnel on the field at times. These are issues that we had not faced the first two games. “Our defense has played extremely hard and fast these first three games and we will need that same effort this week against Burns if we are to have a chance to win. This team has great heart and plays every play, so I like our chances. I am proud of them thus far!”

Today we remember the day that changed us forever. Mayor Rick Murphrey, the speaker for the Patriot Day remembrance service of Sept. 11 on the 12th anniversary Wednesday, asked the small crowd in front of a flag-draped wall in City Hall plaza to remember all those taken from us too soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hearts are still heavy with the loss of nearly 3,000 innocent people killed in terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, an act that was intended to scare and humble our nation and surrender our freedom. Our spirit of freedom cannot be killed, it lives in every Amer-

That kind of love endures,â&#x20AC;? said a prayerful Chief of Police Melvin Proctor. The tolling of the fire bell, as members of the fire department, police department, and others stood quietly was followed by a moment of silence in memory of the dead and in honor of American troops everywhere.

Gardner-Webb PA studies program receives accreditation
Police car struck Ellis Noell photo
N.C. Highway Patrol officers investigate an accident between two vehicles on the King St. overpass early Monday morning, while members of the Kings Mountain Police Department attend to the scene. Kings Mountain Police Captain Derek Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department-issued Ford Explorer was struck from behind by the gray compact operated by Angel Raynor, according to Trooper Phillip Glover. He said that Raynor, who admitted to being asleep at the wheel, was charged with careless and reckless driving. Raynor banged her knee in the collision, while Johnson reported discomfort in his neck. Neither driver was transported to the hospital. The Highway Patrol investigates accidents involving on-duty police officers.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Gardner-Webb Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Physician Assistant Studies Program has received accreditation-provisional from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). Provisional accreditation is an accreditation status for a new PA program that has not yet enrolled students, but has demonstrated its preparedness to initiate a program in accordance with ARC-PA accreditation standards. Regional accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools-Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) is still pending. In May of 2012, leaders announced that GardnerWebb would launch a physician assistant (PA) studies program beginning in 2014. University officials believe the new PA program will help address an increasing need within the healthcare industry for primary care providers by training medical professionals for the primary care field. Dr. Gregory Davenport, a physician assistant with a doctorate in health science, is the dean and program director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;GWU is embracing the opportunity to create a program that will address a dire need for health care access among traditionally underserved populations,â&#x20AC;? he shared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The provisional accreditation approval shows that we are exactly where we need to be in the accredita-
tion process. The next steps of accreditation include a provisional monitoring visit within six months of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural cohort graduation and again 18-24 months after that visit.â&#x20AC;? Set to begin in January, the program will last 28 months and will be broken into two parts. During the first 16 months, students will take classes five days a week, for approximately eight hours a day. The second half of the program will feature hands-on learning experiences in local hospitals and doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices. Davenport said the physician assistant program at Gardner-Webb will focus on the fundamentals of the PA professionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;diagnosing and treating common medical conditions as part of a physician-PA team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to get PAs back into that primary care arena, and help close that gap between access to care and patient demand,â&#x20AC;? he offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To make this happen, GardnerWebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PA program aims to expand the healing gifts that students already possess.â&#x20AC;? To achieve this goal, the didactic year curriculum will include innovative approaches to education including essential skills training, the use of patient models (actors, task trainers, etc.) and problem-based and team-based learning. The didactic training will be followed by nine clinical experiential rotations, each lasting three to six weeks.

MEDITATION
Where do you fit in? Grace to you and peace in the name of Jesus. Amen. Where do you fit in the story? Often, when I am studying a passage of scripture I ask myself this question. I ponder where I would fit in a particular story. I attempt to place myself in the position of each character in the story, imagining myself to be walking in their shoes for a moment. I think about what character I would most likely be and how I would react to the action of the story. I think about how the story relates to my life now, how it influences the decisions that I have to make or issues that I face. I like to explore how I, a person living in the 21st century, can possibly relate to a Biblical story that was written thou-

sands and thousands of years ago. In this simple exercise I ask myself, how would I have reacted if, like Moses, God came to be in the form of a burning bush. I wonder what it would have been like to be one of the disciples walking the road to Emmaus and having the risen Jesus w alking along with me. I question my reaction as I imagine myself to be a Roman soldier who was ordered by Pontius Pilate to crucify the King of the Jews, and I question if I would have had the willpower that the apostle Paul had in his proclamation and ministry to spread the faith with the early churches who were in such a state of disarray and conflict. I think this exercise can
aid us in our study of the Scriptures. Placing ourselves in the story enlivens the message of the text as we can more easily relate the Biblical story to our own story. When we are able to link the Biblical narratives to our own story, our faith is enriched and we grow in relationship with God and his people. Deeper and more meaningful study of the Scriptures leads us to faithful Christian discipleship. So, where do you fit in the story? I encourage you in a time of daily devotion to take a step further in your interpretation of the Biblical text. Imagine yourself as a part of the story and a character in it. How do you react to the plot of the story? What characters and stories in the

Sarah Thomas, vice-president of Black Mountain Home for Children, will speak at the 11 a.m. worship service Sunday at Dixon Presbyterian Church, 602 Dixon School Road, Kings Mountain. Mrs. Thomas will speak about the BMHC ministry and the programs it offers to foster and orphaned children in Western North Carolina, and the upcoming October 12 fall festival which is the annual fund-raising event at the Home. BMHC currently serves 51 children at its campus in Black Mountain and the recently-acquired Cove in Brevard. Unlike most childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes that have to turn children away when they reach the age of 18, BMHC has an off-campus Independent Living Center for its high school graduates who go on to college in the Asheville-Buncombe County area. Their high school students attend nearby Owen High School. The public is invited to attend Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service.
