Brewery could bring jobs to town ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com

Stout Brewing Company, LLC is planning a malt beverage production facility at 518 N. Sims Street, a $6.5 million investment that is expected to create 61 new full-time jobs over the next five years. Cleveland County Commissioners were expected to approve an industrial incentive grant Tuesday night for the prospective new industry. Kings Mountain city officials are meeting with Stout company officials Wednesday morning on tax incentives and to iron out more details on the project. Stout officials are eyeing a textile building on North Sims Street which was most recently

utilized by a pest control business. Company officials have been looking at sites in the area for several months, talking with zoning and codes officers and city and county economic development leaders. The county board conducted on Tuesday night a public hearing regarding the industrial incentive grants being proposed for the economic development project. A legal advertisement on the public hearing noted that “the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners believe that this project will stimulate and provide stability for the local economy. They further believe that this project will provide local economic benefits for the citizens of Cleveland County through an increase in sales tax revenues and the increased purchases of local

Tripp Gault, 35, is fighting an hereditary kidney disease and had been on the list for a transplant until his insurance was canceled and his Tripp Gault funds dried up. His faith is still strong. His stepfather is fighting liver cancer.Tripp’s brother is battling juvenile diabetes. They all face life-threatening health challenges and ask for prayer. “My wife, Angela, and I have faith that God will provide, said a determined Tripp who drives to Charlotte to work 3 1/2 days a week, takes dialysis the rest of the week and cares for the couple’s children while Mrs. Gault works 24 hours on weekends. Hard times, the fledgling economy, and loss of secondary insurance worries a young family who has always been Good Samaritans, fixing goody bags for other patients at a local dialysis center. “Our family has never asked for help but if I stay on the transplant list we must,” said Gault. Five years ago doctors diagnosed Tripp with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disorder in which antibodies called IgA build up in kidney tissues. It is also called Berger’s disease. In Tripp’s case it’s hereditary, but Tripp found it out when he went to a doctor for treatment of a broken arm. After a blood test, the doctor ordered a biopsy. Tripp had lost 50% of his kidney function. In the early stages the disease has no symptoms and can be silent for years, even decades. “Tripp had always been the picture of health and he always worked hard,” said Angela. For 3 1/2 years Tripp has been on the waiting list for a kidney. For two years he has taken dialysis three times a week four hours each day. For eight years he has driven round trip from Kings See GAULT, 7A

Deputies from the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jose Luis Benitez Sanchez, 24, 1010 Dodd St., Shelby, on two counts of trafficking cocaine on Sept. 25. He was jailed in the Cleveland County Detention Center under no bond. Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman said that officers spotted a vehicle speeding on Cherryville Road, stopped the vehicle and noticed that the passenger in the car was extremely nervous and reached for the door handle several times as if he wanted to exit the car and run. Deputies became concerned about the passenger’s actions and had him step out of the vehicle. As the passenger stepped out of the vehicle deputies noticed a large bulge in his right front pants pocket. When one of the deputies brought the bulge to the attention of the other deputy the passenger grabbed the items in an attempt to conceal it further. Deputies removed the item from the passenger’s pocket and found that it was approximately one ounce of cocaine. As deputies attempted to place the passenger in handcuffs he pushed one of the deputies and started to run, but the deputies were able to restrain him and handcuff Sanchez without further incident, the sheriff said.

Some 1500 meters will be tested in two neighborhoods in the city this Fall. Additionally, Council authorized the mayor to submit a building reuse and restoration application for STEAG expansion - a $24,000 grant for building upfit construction, an addition to an earlier application to the Rural Center for a grant for $400,000.

Costner says goodbye after 34 years Saying goodbye to a career of 34 years in city government is bitter-sweet for Janice Costner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being city clerk means being part of a team and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known Bessemer City all my life as a family-friendly city with a lot of heart,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Costner said prior to her retirement party Thursday at Kiser Senior Center. The city fully trained her, she said, promoting her through the ranks from her first job in the recreation department. She wore a lot of hats, including deputy clerk, acting city manager and much more, according to council members and many friends at her party. Janice plans to stay involved in the community after a vacation trip with her husband, Sonny Costner, and grandchildren to Disney World. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that downtown revitalization will continue on Pennsylvania Avenue and other good things will happen under the direction of our new city manager, James Inman,â&#x20AC;? she said. Costner has come full circle at the City of Bessemer City. She organized recreational programs in her first job and her plans now are to enjoy all the recreational programs offered at Kiser Senior Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one in a million,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Howard Jones, city councilman for 18 years.

Blowing A Lot of Cash ? To Keep

‘War Prize’ painting donated to museum One of the Revolutionary War’s most notorious figures now has a face. Although the heroics of Col. Benjamin Cleveland are well known, no historically accurate portrayal of the controversial figure was in existence – until now. Artist Don Troiani, often described as the most respected Revolutionary War artist in the world, unveiled his “Benjamin Cleveland’s War Prize” in September. Troiani’s artwork has appeared on “The O’Reilly Factor,” as well as in “The Washington Post,” “The New York Times” and “National Geographic.” The Kings Mountain Historical Museum received a giclee replica – or an exact reproduction of the Troiani painting – this week from the Allan Jones Foundation based in Cleveland, Tennessee. The Foundation commissioned Troiani to paint the Col. Cleveland piece in 2011. “Troiani will only agree to do works that are historically accurate,” said Allan Jones. “Unfortunately, there are images that have been produced of historical figures like Col. Cleveland in the past that were not well researched. This is something Troiani was determined to avoid – and Col. Cleveland deserved nothing less.”

Cleveland was an American pioneer and soldier in North Carolina who achieved legendary status for his service as a leader in the local Wilkes County militia during the Revolutionary War. Cleveland’s team of militia was comprised of volunteers who were mostly farmers — or “Overmountain Men” who did not wear uniforms but instead put on their “Sunday best” to go to war. Cleveland played a key role in the American victory that occurred on Oct. 7, 1780, at the Battle of Kings Mountain. It was during the Kings Mountain battle that Cleveland and four other colonels defeated Maj. Patrick Ferguson, who served under General Lord Cornwallis in the British army. “The defeat was called the turning point of the American Revolution in the South, and was the first hope for the Patriots of defeating the English,” explained Toby Pendergrass of the Jones Foundation. “The victory inspired the local Patriot cause and discouraged Loyalists from joining the ranks of the invading British forces.” Pendergrass noted that Ferguson led an army into the mountains hoping to crush the rebels, but he was killed in the first 10 minutes of the battle. Col. Cleveland had his horse shot out from

under him during the last 10 minutes of the battle. “At the battle, Cleveland took Ferguson’s white stallion as his war prize and rode it back to his estate, called Roundabout. He also took an English drum and proudly displayed it at the entrance hall to his estate,” Pendergrass said. The white stallion was Cleveland’s “prized possession” and included a very fancy English-made leather saddle and an exquisite saddle blanket made of finer materials than Cleveland would have had access to in North Carolina. The Troiani painting features Cleveland leading his troops back home to Wilkes County on Ferguson’s white stallion after the battle. Jones said Cleveland was a larger-than-life character, which made him a fascinating subject for the painting. “He was a guy who knew how to get things done,” Jones said. “He was the richest man in his county and some said he actually controlled the county, although his home was15 miles out of town. Whether he was noteworthy or notorious depends on if you were a friend or an enemy.” Cleveland served as a judge in Wilkes County and was known for hanging large numbers of Tories, or those who were loyal to the king. He hung so many Tories

from an oak tree near the Wilkes County Courthouse that the tree became known as the Tory Oak, while Cleveland was called “The Terror of the Tories.” “He was and very tough,” Jones said. “People who knew him thought he was obsessed with hanging Tories and that he likely hung more of them than anyone else during the savage civil war between patriots and loyalists in this part of the South during the Revolution.” Cooke said that through the research that has been conducted for the painting to date, the team working on See PAINTING,

The newest addition to Arcadia Publishingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular Images of America series is the Cleveland County Fair from local authors Marie Farrow Patterson and U.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rustyâ&#x20AC;? Patterson. The book boasts more than 200 vintage images and memories of fair days gone by. In the fall of 1923, the Shelby Kiwanis Club developed a plan to create a county-wide fair combining the Boiling Springs, Fallston and Union community fairs into one big event. Through the sales of $20.00 shares of stock, $15,000 was raised to establish the Cleveland County Fair. The first fair was held in 1924 with 70,000 in attendance. Since then, the theme has always been to celebrate city and farm life coming together through such popular attractions as agricultural exhibits, livestock, carnival rides, stage show revues, stock car racing, tractor pulls and demolition derbies. Today, the Cleveland County Fair remains the largest county agricultural fair in North Carolina and Cleve-

land Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest continuing attraction, drawing attendees in from a 75 mile radius of Shelby. The average annual attendance holds strong at over 175,000 people each year. Highlights of the new Cleveland County Fair book includes car, horse, camel and even ostrich races. Celebrities attending the fair. Agricultural impact on the economic development and the magic midway. The new book is now available at the Cleveland County Fair office at 1751 East Marion Street in Shelby at a cost of $21.95 set by Arcadia Publishing. Arcadia Publishing is the leading publishing of local and regional history in the United States. Our mission is to make history accessible and meaningful through the publication of books on the heritage of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people and places. Marie Farrow Patterson and U.L. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rustyâ&#x20AC;? Patterson are Shelby natives and grew up experiencing the Cleveland County Fair firsthand. Marie, a registered nurse

with Gaston Memorial Hospital, and Rusty, executive director of the Cleveland Community College Foundation, collaborated to bring the Cleveland Fair of yesteryear to life. Step back in time, smell the sawdust, taste the vinegar fries, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;meet us at the waterwheelâ&#x20AC;?.

When you go to the polls Nov. 6 you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just vote on political offices. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll choose local and state judges, and among the open judiciary seats is one on the North Carolina Supreme Court. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find an R or a D next to these candidates because judges are elected without partisan labels. The last time Judge Sam Ervin IV visited Kings Mountain he officiated a soccer game. Last week he stopped by the Kings Mountain Herald office and also visited downtown Democratic headquarters; The campaign pitting Democratic challenger Ervin against Republican incumbent and Superior Court Justice Paul Newby is drawing more attention as plans for a new Super PAC begin ramping up fundraising on behalf of the incumbent.

Exchange Club turns 40 The Exchange Club of Shelby celebrated its 40 year anniversary with a buffet dinner and party with cake on July 9 at Western Sizzlin in Shelby. Club President Michael Hamrick presided over the meeting and festivities. He recognized current members who are charter members of the club: Steve Costner, Buford Ellis, Cleatus Hunsinger, Paul Jolley, and Gene Webber. Each charter member was asked to share memories from their first years with the club. Many of them recalled events that took place during the Fall Foliage Railway Excursion, which was sponsored by the club in the 1970s. The Exchange Club of Shelby was chartered on July 1, 1972 with 38 members. Originally, only men were eligible to join, but in 1985 delegates voted to open membership to women. The focus of the Exchange Club of Shelby is to make a positive difference in the community. The Exchange motto is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unity for Service.â&#x20AC;? The Shelby Club looks for ways to contribute to Cleveland County and its needs and it hosts fundraising projects to finance its activities and donations. The first major fundraising project of the Shelby club

was the Sunshine Special, a scenic train trip from Marion, NC to Erwin, TN. The Shelby Club has received local and national awards, including the Distinguished Service Award from North Shelby School, the 20102011 National Exchange Service Award, Exchange Fundraising Award, Exchange Service to Seniors Award, Exchange Americanism Award, and the 100th Birthday Club N.C. District Challenge Award.

Open Gate Garden Club news The Open Gate Garden Club traveled to Spartanburg, SC to meet with Mrs. Linda Tallon and Mrs. Louise Roberts on Wednesday, Sept. 19. A delicious lunch was served to nine members and two guests. After lunch, Lenora Morris called the meeting to order and expressed the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thanks to Linda and Mrs. Roberts for hosting the meeting. Linda Tallon presented the program on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Herbs that discourage insects.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Herb gardens became common during the Middle Ages when fleas and other pests infected most homes. While there is no way to totally eliminate fleas, ticks and mosquitoes from your pet or yard you can garden to keep them minimized. The

foliage of certain plants contain potent oils that are known to discourage insects. During the Middle Ages the foliage of certain plants was routinely cut and spread onto the floors where the residents would walk on the leaves, running them to release their oils. Homes with these oils were not only fragrant but naturally pest-free. Also when pets live and play among the plants, their fur naturally picks up the oil as they pass by. When your dog lies down in your Pennyroyal, the result isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a pretty plant, but Fido absorbs a good deal of the oil. Some plants to help you get started with the most proven ones to help with the insects are Wormwood, Pennyroyal, geranium, Citronella lemongrass, Rue, Lavendercotton,

and Catnip. It is important to remember that all these plants are effective because they contain potent natural oils. They can be highly toxic, so do not eat them or add them to teas and other herbal preparations. Jeanette Ross and Betty Grant will prepare the exhibit for the Fair Booth at the Cleveland County Fair. There is still some work to be done at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;back lotâ&#x20AC;? project downtown, reported Margie Bridges. The memorial marker for Margaret Tate needs to be cleaned.

MUSEUM: receives â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;War Prizeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; painting as donation From page 4A the painting has yet to find a firsthand account from the Revolutionary era that describes the appearance of Benjamin Cleveland in the war years. It is known that Cleveland was 6 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds, Cooke said. His nickname was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Roundabout,â&#x20AC;? yet he was reportedly very athletic. Jones said Troiani teamed with experts from across the nation to work on the painting, including Henry Cooke â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected tailor of 18th century authentic historic clothing and a regular consultant for the History Channel. Dr. Philip Mead, a professional historian from Harvard University who teaches Revolutionary War Theory, conducted research for the painting through the National Archives and located a period sword for Col. Cleveland. Tim Wilson, the shoe and boot maker for Colonial Williamsburg, made a pair of boots identical to the ones Cleveland would have worn. Williamsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms expert, Erik Goldstein, worked with Wilson to recreate a scabbard for an original Revolutionary War militia officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

sword located by Dr. Mead. Cooke hand-stitched the clothes and hat that are featured in the painting, while Tim Wilson, a shoe and boot maker for Colonial Williamsburg, is made a pair of boots identical to the ones Cleveland would have worn, right down to ordering specially made leather from England that is identical to that used in gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding boots in the late 18th century. Williamsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms expert, Erik Goldstein, worked with Wilson to recreate a scabbard for an original Revolutionary War militia officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sword located by Dr. Mead that was used in the painting, as well as an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sword belt based on an original belt in the Williamsburg collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The waistcoat in the painting features hand-embroidered silk that is identical to an authentic North Carolina waistcoat from 1770 that we are replicating,â&#x20AC;? Cooke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every detail, down to the buttons, was embroidered by hand.â&#x20AC;? Benjamin Cleveland was born on May 28, 1738, and died in October 1806, at the age of 68, reportedly while eating breakfast, Cooke said. The exact date of his death is unknown.

remove the need for fundraising from interests that eventually could appear before them. The state and judicial races non partisan, so political affiliation was removed from the process. Ervin said that he relies solely on public financing and disagrees with the argument that a candidate facing him would need additional support to overcome the public recognition of his family name. He said that when he ran for office in 2004 that 45 and older citizens recognized the Ervin name but younger voters did not. Ervin, 56, is the grandson of storied U. S. Senate Watergate Committee chairman Sam Ervin. His father was a federal judge. Judge Ervin before being appointed to the commission by Gov. Jim Hunt. He later returned to private practice until he was elected to the NC Appellate Court in 2008. Justice Paul M.

Mountain to Charlotte to work. Just recently the couple got a call that Tripp is in the top 10 for a kidney. The good news was followed by bad news. Medicare pays for 80 percent of the surgery but a secondary insurance or payment out of pocket is needed for the rest, plus added costs of anti-rejection medicine. Although Angela is a match for her husband, Tripp is emphatic that both can’t be out of work at the same time. Their kids Brandon, 16, Timothy, 12, and Cheyanne, 4, come first in their parents’ lives. Angela has been in

close contact with the National Kidney Foundation for ideas to raise the money for the surgery. This week she opened an account at Alliance Bank and is asking the public for donations which can be deposited at the downtown bank. She has also taken the couple’s plight to Kidney4Tripp on Facebook and so far in the last few days the site had 1800 members. “We’ve got to raise at least $5,000 to get back on the transplant list,” says Angela. She will appreciate any suggestions for fundraisers. Her telephone number is 980-295-0948. Tripp can be contacted at 980722-0188.

Lightning fast Moore, Huskies hand Mountaineers 36-27 loss GARY STEWART Sports Editor

The lightning that delayed the start of the game by 45 minutes was nothing compared to the lightning strikes Kerrion Moore put on Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers in Friday’s 36-77 loss at Hunter Huss. The junior running back/receiver/defensive back/kick return specialist scored four touchdowns, including a 104-yard pass interception return that turned the game around, two long pass receptions and a kickoff return to amass over 300 yards of all-purpose yardage as the Huskies beat the Mountaineers for just the second time in six years. The win kept the Huskies in the

thick of the battle for the BSC title with a 2-1 conference and 5-2 overall mark while the Mountaineers fell to 0-2 in the league and 2-5 overall. Four of the five Mountaineer losses have been close games that went down to the wire, with big plays turning the tide for the opposition every time. The only game this year that the Mountaineers didn’t have a good shot winning in the fourth quarter was a 49-21 loss to defending champion South Point three weeks ago. Kings Mountain began getting the bad breaks as soon as the opening kickoff when the Huss kick returner fumbled the ball and the Mountaineers recovered at the Huss 30. However, the referee ruled that an inadvertent whistle had occurred. The play was wiped off

the board, the game clock re-set at 12 minutes and the Mountaineers kicked again. This time, the Huskies’ Keion Byrd returned it to the 35, and on the first play from scrimmage Moore streaked down the right sideline to haul in a 65 yard touchdown pass and put the Huskies on top 6-0. Kings Mountain battled back to take a 27-20 halftime lead. The Mountaineers marched the second half kickoff from their own three to the Huss 13 yard line, but Moore intercepted a Jonathan Clark pass four yards deep in the end zone and rambled 104 yards untouched to completely turn the game around. The two previous seasons the versatile Moore -who is the son of former See MOUNTAINEERS, 2B

Mountaineers to host Ashbrook for homecoming this Friday GARY STEWART Sports Editor

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers take on yet another athletic Gaston County team Friday when Ashbrook’s Green Wave rolls into John Gamble Stadium for KM’s annual homecoming game. The Green Wave comes in with a 1-2 Big South and 3-3 overall record. Ashbrook’s early schedule has been a rugged one, with close losses to perennial state powers Charlotte Catholic, Crest and South Point and impressive victo-

ries over Olympic, Shelby and North Gaston. Like most other teams in this area, Ashbrook has gone to a spread offense. This is their third year in the new offense and it now appears to be clicking for them. “They’re much better at running it now,” says KM Coach Greg Lloyd. “They are very athletic - a lot like Hunter Huss - but probably better than Huss.” Lloyd said it will take “good execution” for the Mountaineers to run the ball on their 4-3 defense. The most points Ashbrook has

given up this year were 30 in last week’s 30-13 loss to South Point, and 14 of those came late in the game. “They have very good talent,” Lloyd said. Lloyd is confident his Mountaineers will be in position to win; they just have to finish off drives and eliminate the big plays that have cost them four one-touchdown losses. “We can’t worry about our record,” he said. “We just have to play these last four ball games out and see

what we can do. We can’t make excuses - just play them one at a time and quit giving up big plays at the wrong time. All four of our remaining games are games we can win. We can still get in the playoffs; we just really need to win this week and give ourselves a chance.” The Mountaineers have won their last three games against the Green Wave, including an unforgettable 4134 come-from-behind victory the last time (2010) the two teams met at Gamble Stadium.

Mountaineer spikers host North Gaston Kings Mountain High’s women’s volleyball team is still in position to successfully defend its Big South championship - or at least share it - when it hosts North Gaston Tuesday at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The Lady Mountaineers’ only loss in the BSC was to North Gaston earlier in the season in Dallas. The Lady Mountaineers, 6-1 in the conference and 124 overall, kept pace last week with a 20-25, 25-20, 25-5, 25-22 victory over

South Point. Logan Smith led the Mountaineers with 10 kills, six aces, 11 digs and 12 assists. Gracie Hunter had 14 digs. Kings Mountain’s only other match last week was a 25-15, 25-9, 25-22 non-conference win over Shelby. After North Gaston, the Mountaineers will close their regular season with games at Crest on October 11 and home against Forestview on October 15. State playoffs begin October 20.

Kings Mountain High’s JV football team got two touchdowns from the offense and two from the defense and broke a four-game losing streak with a 27-22 victory over Hunter Huss Thursday at John Gamble Stadium. Two defensive touchdowns in a minute and a half broke open a close game early in the fourth period. With the Huskies trailing 13-8 and backed up on their own 12 yard line, Kings Mountain’s Dwayne Capps intercepted a pass and raced 20 yards untouched into the end zone, and then caught a two-yard conversion pass to put the Mountaineers up 21-8. On the second play following the ensuing kickoff, KM’s Zavier Roberts’ crushing hit knocked the ball loose from Huss quarterback Jordan Taylor. Linebacker Gage Kornegay picked the ball up and rambled 16 yards to make the score 27-8. Kings Mountain never trailed, taking a 7-0 lead on its first possession when Dillon Frederick got loose on a 49-yard run around left end to set up a three-yard touchdown run by Raequan Allen. Isaiah Cole kicked the extra point. Hunter Huss couldn’t budge the Kings Mountain defense for most of the first half. The Huskies were thrown for losses on their first six rushing plays, and coughed up the football three times. Kornegay recovered one fumble and Julian Coulter two. After Coulter’s first recovery at the Huss 29, Allen scored from 16 yards out to put the Mountaineers up 13-0 at intermission. Huss had only one running play for positive yardage in the first half, but the visitors went to the air on their first possession of the third quarter and drove 54 yards to cut the lead to 13-8. Slade Moss caught passes of 34 and 19 yards to set up a one-yard touchdown run by Carlos Petty. Maurice Smith ran a two-

From page 1A Kings Mountain player Jeff Lockhart of Grover - had been held to minus yards rushing against the Mountaineers. But, Huss put in a new spread offense during the off-season and it has been a perfect fit for Moore. “We let him make some big plays,” noted KM Coach Greg Lloyd. “He is a super good athlete. The way they’re using him he can do a lot of things. He’s good and has unbelievable acceleration. He is a Division One athlete for sure.” Kings Mountain’s defense did a great job against the Huss run, limiting Moore to just nine yards in six carries and the team to 64 yards in 28 attempts. Moore caught two of the Huskies’ four completed passes for touchdowns of 65 and 78 yards and ran a kickoff back 82 yards for a touchdown. Kings Mountain outgained the Huskies 405

yards to 235 with DaShon Guest picking up 135 yards rushing and one touchdown, and Clark hitting 24 of 43 passes for 247 yards. Sophomore Xavier Johnson caught nine passes for 106 yards, including touchdown catches of 23 and 21 yards. “They just had too many big plays and that was the difference,” said Coach Lloyd. “Otherwise, we played well enough to win.” Kings Mountain started out in a no huddle offense and it worked well in the first half. They had to get away from it in the second half because most of their success had been on long passes and the tired downfield receivers weren’t as effective. “Xavier Johnson did a real good job in the first half,” Lloyd said, “but he wore down and started cramping up in the second half. We ran a lot of deep routes and we kind of wore

him out. We moved the ball and scored enough to win, we just gave up too many big plays.” The Mountaineers felt like they were going to put the game away right before Moore pulled off his highlight reel interception return. “The interception turned

the tide,” Coach Lloyd said. “The ball came off (Clark’s) hand too high and just sailed on him.” KM had more opportunities after that but lost three fumbles, including one on a hook and lateral that had touchdown written all over it.

Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Merchant, left, makes a great leaping catch and turned it into a 70yard touchdown in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with North Lincoln at John Gamble Stadium.

Patriots lose to North Lincoln Kings Mountain Middle School had trouble holding onto the football Wednesday and lost to North Lincoln 16-6 in a Tri-County Conference East Division game at John Gamble Stadium. The Patriots lost six fumbles, including two on onside kicks and two on lateral passes, and had one pass intercepted. North Lincoln also had trouble holding onto the ball, losing four fumbles, but the Panthers got a big rushing effort from big fullback Donnie Thompson, who plowed through the Patriot defense for 76 yards, one touchdown

Firemen appreciated for service

and a two-point conversion. Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Merchant had a big game at wide receiver, catching four passes from Darren Burns for 145 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown on a great leaping catch at the 30. He spun away from his defender and ran down the home sideline for the final 30 yards and the score. Merchant caught another pass for 67 yards to the North Lincoln two, but the Patriots fumbled on the next play. Kings Mountain, 1-1 in the division and 12 overall, travels to Lincolnton today at 5 p.m.

Lady Patriots win one, lose two softball games Kings Mountain Middle Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls went 1-2 in Tri-County softball games last week. The Lady Patriots scored their first win of the year Monday, defeating Lincolnton 18-0 in four innings. Jennifer Hamrick pitched a complete game one-hitter. Hamrick struck out six as the Lady Patriots played errorfree defense. Cassi Melton led the plate attack with two hits and four runs batted in. Madison Hoyle and Kassidy Hamrick finished with two hits and Gretchen Boyles, Ashton

Withers, Mandy Hamrick and MC May had one hit apiece. Tuesday, an 8-run third inning proved too much for the Patriots to overcome and they lost to Burns 14-8. Jennifer Hamrick and Kassidy Hamrick split pitching duties and held Burns to only four hits. At the plate, Ashton Withers had a double and triple. Cassi Melton, Madison Hoyle, Destiny Hamrick and Kassidy Hamrick also had hits. Jazmyn Vickers provided solid defense behind the plate.

On Thursday, the Lady Patriots fell victim to another bad inning and lost to defending champion West Lincoln 14-0. Jennifer Hamrick and Kassidy Hamrick split pitching duties. West Lincoln scored eight runs in the second inning, thanks in large part to a grand slam that landed on top of the batting cage over the left centerfield fence. Destiny Hamrick had the only hit for Kings Mountain. Kameron Marr reached base with a walk. Ashton Withers provided several defensive gems at shortstop. The Lady Patriots were scheduled to play at West Lincoln yesterday.

Wildcats are ‘turning up the heat’ with good character West Elementary School has a goal this year to reach 212 degrees academically, behaviorally, and socially! It’s that one extra degree of going above and beyond that can make the difference! West Wildcats are “turning up the heat” by displaying good character! Cleveland County Schools’ character education mission is to “create a social environment in which knowing the good, desiring the good, and doing the good are taught, modeled, and practiced.” The county highlights a different character trait each month. Individuals schools choose to promote the trait in different ways. At West Elementary School, teachers are asked to select one student from their classrooms that best exemplifies the character trait of the month. This year, West has chosen to include community members in celebrating achievements and promoting character education. Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey, agreed to highlight respect - September’s character trait. Through West TV, Mayor Murphrey spoke to all West Wildcats emphasizing the importance of being respectful. He then joined the 16 winners for the Character Breakfast of the year.

■ BRIEFS

MEDITATION It is up to us to plant the seeds

Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church Megan McKenna makes an interesting suggestion that is a reminder of the spiritual truth that God typically works in this world through those who are His followers. McKenna suggests that God’s work is much like planting good seeds, and then she tells the story of a woman who wanted peace in the world and peace in her heart, but she was very frustrated because such things seemed so unlike the world she knew. One day, this woman decided that she would go shopping, and she went to a nearby neighborhood shopping center and then picked a store at random. The woman walked into the store and was surprised to see Jesus standing behind the counter. She

knew it was Jesus because he looked just like the pictures she’d seen on holiday cards, on the walls at church, and in devotional books. When she finally got over her shock and stirred up enough nerve, she went to the counter and said, “Excuse me, are you Jesus?” “I am,” he said. Still somewhat overwhelmed, she asked Jesus, “Do you work here?” To which he replied, “No, I own the store.” “Oh,” the woman replied, “what do you sell here?” “Just about everything,” Jesus said, so feel free to walk up and down the aisles, make a list, see what it is you want and then come back and we’ll see what we can do for you.” The woman did just that. She walked up and down the aisles, admiring all the choices of wonderful things. On one shelf she found the label marked: “peace on earth.” On another shelf was “no more war,” which was just above a shelf designated “no hunger or poverty.” On another aisle she found products like “peace in families” and “no more drugs,” and in a corner where the fixtures were painted green she found “harmony,” “clean air,” and “careful

use of resources.” She saw so many things she wanted that she had to write furiously in order to get them all down. By the time she got back to the counter, she had made a long list. Jesus took the list, skimmed over it, and then looked up at her and smiled. “No problem,” he said, and then he bent down behind the counter and picked out all sorts of things, and stood up and laid out several packets. “But what are these?” she asked. “There’re seed packets,” Jesus replied. “You see, this is a catalog store.” “You mean I don’t get the finished products?” she responded. “No,” Jesus said, “this is a place of dreams. You come here and see what they look like, and I give you the seeds. You are the one who has to plant the seeds, nurture them and help them to grow.” All of us would certainly like to have many of the things that woman saw in the store that day, but it is so easy to forget that in order to have them we need to be willing to let Jesus use us in order to help the things we seek become realities. May God help us to make it so.

CCC named a Military Friendly School

SCHOOLS: designated Title I Reward Schools From page 5B schools. Fallston Elementary was among the top Title I schools in the state last year and a finalist in the Distinguished Schools Program. This year, East Elementary is among the top 10 percent of the Reward Schools. This year, 12 schools (the top 10 percent) are invited to submit portfolios to identify the best practices contributing to their schools’ successes. They have the opportunity to represent the state in the National Title I Distinguished Schools program and are eligible for Reward School Mini‐Grants, with a base allotment of $20,000 and additional funding per the school’s ADM (average daily membership). East Elementary Principal Eric Lamanna said a key to East’s success is the commitment by its staff to help students succeed. East’s culture is one of team spirit and focusing on putting the children first, he said. “All our certified staff members stay after school and tutor students at least one day a week during the entire second semester,” Lamanna said. Fallston Principal Mary Frye cited numerous programs used to target deficiencies and intervene and improve students’ basic reading and math skills. She said student progress is closely monitored and assessed and best practices from

S E R V I C E

proven instructional leaders are used. Both Mrs. Frye and Mr. Lamanna said their schools offer numerous recognition programs to encourage and reward their students’ performance. Both partner closely with businesses, agencies and others in the community to provide for their students and their families. Both schools also promote parent involvement and emphasize parental communication. Title I schools (about one half of the state’s public schools) are subject to be categorized under three designations: Priority, Focus and Reward schools. This year’s designations are based on 2010-11 data. School districts that receive Title I funds must use them in schools where at least 40 percent of the children receive free or reduced-cost meals. Eligible schools may use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school. Currently all local elementary schools and Shelby Intermediate have schoolwide programs. Cleveland County Schools is to receive more than $4.7 million in 2012-13 that will provide reading labs, in-class and pull-out programs, preschool programs and parent centers. The Title I program provides funding for 33.5 teaching positions, 43 teacher assistants, two parent center coordinators and two assistants and three curriculum coordinators.

Victory Media, the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has named Cleveland Community College, to the coveted Military Friendly Schools® list. The 2013 Military Friendly Schools® list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus “Inclusion on the 2013 list of Mili-
