Editor’s Note: The shutdown of the federal government Monday at midnight means that the Kings Mountain National Military Park is closed — at least temporarily. The celebration of the 233rd Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain is up in the air pending legislative action but is scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday in the park’s amphitheater. Congress is wrangling over spending issues and in particular the funding of the Affordable Care Act, for which the first day of enrollment began Tuesday, Oct.1. The last and longest government shutdown came in December 1995, lasting three weeks. The Park program on Oct. 7 is the highlight of numerous activities planned beginning this week. The impact of the shutdown on the planned celebrations will depend on how long the shutdown lasts, according to KMNMP Supt. Erin Broadbent. City leaders say they still hope to take a group of Kings Mountain Middle School students to the Park Monday as planned. “The mayor (Rick Murphrey) and I can always hike with the students if a program is not held, talk with them about the battle history,’’ said the city’s special director Ellis Noell.
Events on the agenda for this week and Monday if the Park reopens include battle reenactments to militia drills and live music to talks from authors and historians and a range of fun activities centered around the 233rd anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain, a skirmish that Thomas Jefferson said See PARK, 6A

Richardson ready to tackle management role ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
New county manager Jeff Richardson reported to work Monday morning. Richardson, 50, has ties to Cleveland County government having served as Human Resources Director before taking a position with the City of Asheville as Human Resource Director in 1997. Since 2001, he has served the City of Asheville as Deputy City Manager. County commissioners and interim manager David Dear are welcoming him with open arms and last week prepared a “wish list� of short term and long term goals they are looking for his input on in months to come. “Be cautious on spending,� Dear told the full board as each commissioner led discussion on committees they chair – from economic development, grant writing, and animal control. The pet population figured on about seven of the goals. Johnny Hutchins suggested that Saturday hours of operation at the animal shelter be resumed since people work during the day and Saturday is a good time for families to visit the shelter and adopt a pet. That recommendation could come at the
November meeting of the board once a funding mechanism is in place. Hutchins is the member representing the health department on the board. “I have some ideas, I need to talk with others about a positive move but it will cost some money,� he said. Chairman Ronnie Hawkins added that the well being of wanted animals is important to the community. �Lets look at Youtube as a tool for our departments to use in the future,� suggested Jason Falls. Susan Allen, who her counterparts called a technology whiz, was asked to “run with the idea.� Two new hotels are in the future for Cleveland County and Marshalls is coming to Cleveland Mall, said Eddie Holcomb. Commissioners said they’d like to see an events calendar for the entire county so that some major events would not be scheduled on the same day. They said they would pass on that idea to travel and tourism leaders in the county. Falls is interested in the N.C. Adopt a Highway program which works with volunteers in cleanup efforts and beautification of roads. What about small business incentive programs?
a positive direction and it is clear that the county’s elected leadership is committed to continue its investments for long-term success. There is much more to accomplish and I am so excited to join Cleveland County’s team at this time,� said Richardson after he was hired in August by county commissioners. “With over 22 years of local government experience, Jeff will compliment our fantastic team of county employees,� said Hawkins.� We look forward to his leadership as he works with us and the entire Cleveland County community to continue to move Cleveland County in a positive direction.’’ Richardson is a graduate of UNC Asheville with a Bachelor of Science degree and UNC at Chapel Hill with a Masters in Public Administration. He currently serves on the North Carolina Credit Union Commission and is an Adjunct Faculty member of Western Carolina University in the MPA program. He is a member of the Asheville Breakfast Rotary club and has served for several years on the United Way board of directors. Jeff and his wife, Andrea, have three children.
Jeff Richardson Allen said that a system of checks and balances would be essential for success and Falls said that Mom and Pop type businesses need people to help with legwork when they come into a town to start a business. Why not try to hire someone to write grants? Holbrook noted that the key to success would be hiring the right person which would more than pay his or her salary. Hawkins said the board has regular work sessions in which they brainstorm. “I am so honored to have the opportunity to return to Cleveland County and serve in this role. My family’s prior time here was very special and the community made it that way. I see so many good things moving in

Painting the start-finish line and pit road wall pink at Charlotte Motor Speedway Tuesday with her favorite Dollar General NASCAR drivers was “awesome� for Renee Worcester, a local breast cancer survivor and store manager for Dollar General on Shelby Road. The 46-year-old Kings Mountain woman and her husband, Troy, are big racing fans but they met Matt Kenseth and Brian Vickers for the first time this week to kick off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Renee wore pink, of course, and she and her mother, Gail Norris, will join thousands in pink Saturday at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Charlotte. Renee started walking in the 5K event three years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The pink-schemed racecars will be unveiled at the Dollar General 300 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Oct. 11. Through its corporate mission of “Serving Others� and to further the support and research efforts to end breast cancer, Dollar General will present a $50,000 donation to Susan G.

NASCAR Nationwide Series driver of the Dollar General No. 20 Toyota, will be on hand at the Komen Race for the Cure to meet breast cancer survivors, including Dollar General employees, and unveil the new pink paint schemes on their Toyota Camrys. “My husband and I have always gone to the race track and are big NASCAR fans,� said Renee, who went to work at Dollar General five years ago, her first position at the York Road store. With more than 10,000 stores in 40 states, Dollar General has more retail locations than any retailer in America. Obviously, she loves her job and says the encouragement she receives from coworkers helps her to fight cancer. Together Renee and Troy have six children and 13 grandchildren. Son Chris Moore, 26, left on Monday for a second deployment in Afghanistan and a daughter served in Iraq twice plus one deployment in Afghanistan and is expected to return again to Afghanistan with Uncle Sam’s Army. The Moore family came from Kansas for a visit with the Worcesters. Their children are grown but Renee and Troy dote on the grand kids. They plan to send plenty of pictures of Grandma in the pink and painting at Charlotte Motor Speedway along with autographed copies of NASCAR drivers.

MEDITATION Me? Are you sure?
Josh Tucker Pastor St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church “But Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor even now that you have spoken to your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue. O my Lord, please send someone else.” (Exodus 4:10, 13b) God, are you sure you have the right person? Are you sure you I’m the right person for the job? In the book of Exodus, the Lord

came to his servant, Moses, in the form of a burning bush, capturing his attention and charging him with the task of going to Pharaoh and commanding him to release God’s people from slavery. The Lord had heard his people crying out for help and wanted his servant Moses to go and lead them out from under the rule of Pharaoh in Egypt and into the promised land of their ancestors. Upon hearing the Lord command him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses made excuse after excuse to get away from the task. He perceived himself to be unworthy to do the work of the Lord, until finally he said ‘Lord, please send someone else.’ Throughout the text in the third and fourth chapters (Exodus 3:11-4:17) we find a string of sentences
that begin, “but, Lord,..” and “what if..” These suggest that in those moments of discernment Moses was trying to find every excuse possible that would prove himself unable and unworthy of accomplishing the Lord’s work. As I came across Moses’ story again this week, I thought about those times in life when it seems very real that God is leading me to do a certain thing or guiding me in a new direction. It’s those times when God appears to us in the ordinary day to day, just as he did to Moses, and he says “come, I will send you…” (Exodus 3:10). Perhaps you’ve had that experience in your life; perhaps the Lord has come to you calling you to do his work in some way. How do we respond in those moments? Like Moses, do we try and find every infirmity
that we think would keep us from doing his work? Do we respond “Lord please send someone else?” Or, do we trust in the words from Scripture as we hear the Lord say to Moses, “I will be with you” (Exodus 3:12). The Lord our God promises to be with us. This promise is kept in the life, death and resurrection of his only Son Jesus Christ who was with us, is with us still and will continue to be with us forever as he sent the Holy Spirit to us saying, “come, I will send you..” We are God’s hands and feet in this world and he is calling us to serve. May we forever and always remain open and willing to hear those words from our God and may we ever be so bold to faithfully respond to him calling us to do his work in the world.

PARKS: closed for now but hope to re-open in time for 233rd anniversary of historic battle From page 1A changed the course of the nation’s war for independence. The festivities are set to kick off on Saturday at 10 a.m. with a weapons demonstration at the Kings Mountain National Military Park. There are also children’s militia drills planned throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. Michael Scoggins, author of “The Day It Rained Militia,� presents a lecture later that day called “Myths and Legends of the Battle of Kings Mountain� at 3 p.m. That’s followed by a weapons demonstration at 4:30 p.m. and a Celtic music concert at 7 p.m. Lantern tour of the battleground will also begin running every 10 minutes at 7 p.m. Reservations, which can be made at the park’s visitor center, are
required for the lantern tours. All day Saturday and Sunday (until 3 p.m.) the park’s camps will be open to the public and offer a variety of demonstrations from trades and crafts, medicine and loads of children’s activities. Sunday also offers guided battlefield tours at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and a Celtic music concert at 3 p.m. The park closes at 5 p.m. Sunday. Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey is also getting in on the action. He’ll escort a group of nine specially chosen students from the Kings Mountain Middle School for a limousine ride to the park on Monday, where he plans to speak in the afternoon. Earlier that day at 9:30 a.m., guests and history buffs can attend a book signing with Sheila Ingle, the author of “Courageous Kate� and “Fearless
Martha.� At 3 p.m. the Overmountain Victory Trail marchers arrive at the park’s amphitheater to coincide with a keynote speech by John Buchanan, the author of “The Road to Guilford Courthouse,� “The Road to Valley Forge� and “Jackson’s Way.� Author Sharyn McCrumb is also on hand this week to talk about her latest novel, “King’s Mountain.� It’s the tenth installment in her series of ballad books, which includes the New York Times bestseller “The Ballad of Tom Dooley.� McCrumb came to Kings Mountain and the national military park to research the book. She’s returning to the historic site on Saturday at 2 p.m. to talk about the book. She’s also appearing at a 6 p.m. booksigning at the Mauney Memorial Library in downtown
Kings Mountain on Monday. Most of the Wilmington native’s books turn on historical narratives of Appalachia and a handful of her books have been set in her home state. Readers like historical fiction because when it’s done right, she says, “they will accidentally learn something.� P. J. Dunn of Forest City, formerly of Kings Mountain, hopes to come to KMNMP for the service Monday and book signing of “King of the Mountain,� a Revolutionary War novel. Growing up in Kings Mountain, he became interested in the American Revolution when he visited KMNMP as a child. Yearly family reunions at nearby Lake Crawford in the South Carolina portion of the park gave easy access to the nearby Park Museum, walks along the trail. He said he remembers the closeup views
of the graveside of Major Patrick Ferguson and throwing another rock onto the rock pile signifying the grave and a climb to the top of the rock pile to declare,�I am King of the Mountain.� Members from more than a dozen chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution will descend upon the national military park over the weekend. One of their main tasks is to help feed the Overmountain Victory Trail marchers, which is comprised of men, women and children who are re-enacting the historic march from Abbington, Va. The march takes two weeks and picks up people along the way, according to Betty Masters, a representative from the Kings Mountain DAR chapter. The marchers, which numbers 50 people on average, also put on programs in schools on the route
as it winds through parts of Virginia and North Carolina. Dignitaries from DAR will also participate in a wreathlaying ceremony at 11 a.m. Monday. Also on Monday, the Sons of the American Revolution is chartering a Kings Mountain chapter in a 6:30 p.m. ceremony at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center. A representative from the group said it expects to induct at least 40 members. Activities at the Kings Mountain National Military Park are part of an Upstate Revolutionary War Weekend that includes events at Cowpens National Battlefield near Gaffney and the Festifall at Walnut Grove Plantation on Interstate 26 south of Spartanburg.

MORE JOBS: on the horizon as global finance company signs Data Center lease From page 1A Pete Martin, CEO of T5. Martin said the latest lease agreement was signed partly because of the attractive property tax rates, which will help attract additional tenants. “By partnering with the City of Kings Mountain, T5@Kings Mountain Park can attract new data center tenants and bring quality jobs to the area,� said Martin. T5 Data Centers are innovators in providing state of the art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for any enterprise. The city has annexed the balance of T5’s land. The tax incentive package provides T5 30 years of
property tax rebates for additional assets placed on the land. Mayor Rick Murphrey said the city will receive franchise fees for power consumed by the data centers and without annexation those fees would go to the state. Since data centers consume large quantities of power, the city would realize substantial revenue from franchise fees, as well as from water and waste associated with the data centers. “The ability to offer property tax concessions to prospective tenants is a huge plus for T5 and gives us a competitive advantage when competing with data centers around the county,’’ said Martin. He said the newest tenant found the T5@Kings Mountain data center attractive be-
cause of its superior security and system redundancy, its ready access to quality communications lines, the savings from tax incentives and the low cost of power. Additionally, he said Duke Power has dedicated a 180MW substation to service the T5 campus including a concrete duct bank system for reliable power delivery. In addition to savings from property taxes, state incentives offer up to 100 percent sales tax abatement on data center equipment and software. The economic development project has been code-named Roosevelt II. Kings Mountain Planning Director Steve Killian, in making a presentation to council last week, said that it still expected that the original goal of 45 jobs and $200
million in taxable investment would be achieved on the two original Disney parcels tagged Roosevelt I. Under the terms of the agreement the amount on the incentive on an annual basis would not exceed the annual taxes paid during the 30-year period. The city grant would equal property tax for the next 30 years and also the cost of building permits. About T5 Grant Centers T4 Grant Centers (T5) is a leading national center owner and operator, committed to delivering customizable, scalable date centers that provide an “always on� computing environment to power mission critical business applications.

The Kings Mountain Fire Department will be primary provider for fire protection of structures within the fire protection area. The county agrees to pay the City of Kings Mountain an amount equal to three cents per $100 dollars of property valuation in the fire protection area. This amount would be paid by the county to the city semi-annually in July and January each year.

Roberts pens ‘Abram’s Covenant Wives’, a Biblical love story ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
“Let’s get up Mom and play with the angels,� Rose Burris Roberts’ 5-year-old daughter said as she forced the Kings Mountain woman out of her grief over losing her father, brother and mother during a three-year period in 1993-96. Roberts, now 59, said she asked “why, God?� and she found that a higher power was calling her to make a difference. Roberts had studied Bible at a Bible college in Charlotte, lived in Oklahoma City when her children were small, moved back to Charlotte in 2005 and from Charlotte to her hometown of Kings Mountain in April 2013 and then took a job in Shelby. “I always wanted to write about Job but I turned to the book of Genesis and became fascinated with Abraham and fell in love with that patriarch and started doing research and wrote “Abram's Covenant Wives,� she said. Roberts has written a second book in the Abraham series. It’s called “Abra-
Rose B. Roberts ham's Covenant Wives� and one of the characters is his third wife, Keturah. Wendy Isbell, publisher of the Kings Mountain Herald, edited her copy for the second book which is 189 pages. Roberts calls both publications a labor of love. “I really started writing about 15 years ago,� she said. “Abram's Covenant Wives� is the story of the maturation of the promise of God to one man for the redemption of many and for many more to come. This is the story of unceasing love between a man and his God and also restoration of the
people. In’’ Abraham’s Covenant Wives� Roberts presents a look at the life of Abraham that will bring about a new understanding and appreciation for this monumental character from the Bible. Known as the father of all who have faith, Abraham is depicted as a man of love – a man who is devoted to God and a man who loves and is devoted to his wives. Abraham is used as an instrument of God as the Holy Spirit directed his life. Some customer reviews have labeled “Abraham’s Covenant Wives� as one of literature’s great Biblical love stories. The second edition will be available soon from Strategic Book Publishing, Houston, Texas. Roberts, daughter of the late Golden Roberts and Mary Daniel and Alexander Burris, grew up on a farm in Kings Mountain in a family of 13 children. She graduated from Kings Mountain High School and started studying the Bible at an early age and attended Bible College in the 1980s. She is a member of East Gold Street Wesleyan Church.
“Reading was a safe and informative passion for me and I hope that by writing these books that it will inspire others to become passionate about writing,� said Roberts. Writing is her ministry. Says Rose, “In Genesis 15:13 we get to know Abram as a prophet, servant, priest and king. We get to know Abram, Sarah and their new extended families. Abraham’s answer to God’s call was to redeem Canaan and the land of Promise. Abram feels like an old man when he rescues Lot and receives God’s promise in the many events that follow. We
discover how important all these seemingly–randomly picked people are to each other and to the importance of family as God has ordained it to be. Then we take a different look at the gift that produces the son born to Abraham. And we identify that they are covenants or contracts from God that are still affecting our history and our future. Rose said the first story of the trilogy about Abraham comes from Genesis 12 as he answers God's call to deliver Canaan. In her next book Isaac is born. Meet the amazing Keturah, number three wife,
Genesis 25, and the rest of Abraham’s sons. “Abram’s Covenant Wives� is available on soft cover for $20 in a pre-sale promotion until Dec. 1 from Roberts, PO Box 563, Kings Mountain, NC 28086.

Kings Mountain running back RaeQuan Allen (25) picks up yardage against a tough Shelby defense in Friday’s SMAC game at John Gamble Stadium.
Lions shutout KM 49-0 Shelby dominated all phases of the game to defeat Kings Mountain 49-0 Friday at John Gamble Stadium, sending the Mountaineers to their fourth straight loss and third in a row in the new SMAC 2A/3A race. Shelby improved to 3-0 in the conference and 4-2 overall heading into a homecoming battle against East Burke Friday night. Kings Mountain hopes to regroup when it travels to Valdese to take on the Draughn Wildcats. Shelby scored on three of its first four possessions to build a 21-0
halftime lead, and then scored on all four of its third quarter possessions to put the game away. “We got beat by a better team,� said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd who had hoped his Mountaineers could give a similar performance to the one it gave the previous Friday in a 20-15 loss to defending SMAC champion Burns. The Lions scored all seven of their touchdowns in a combined 20 plays, including returning two pass interceptions for scores. They built their 21-0 halftime lead on just eight plays.
After Adam Webber’s 26-yard interception return put the Lions on top 14-0 early, the Mountaineer fans could see glimpses of a possible comeback similar to the week before when the Mountaineers erased a quick 14-0 Burns lead to take a 1514 lead into the final minute of the game. Kings Mountain drove from its own 12 to the Shelby 12 but ended up losing the ball on downs as two passes fell incomplete.
KMHS kickers sweep Draughn
Patriots fall short at East Lincoln East Lincoln scored on a late 40yard touchdown run to nip Kings Mountain 20-14 in a Tri-County Middle School football game Wednesday at East Lincoln. East Lincoln led 14-0 before Hunter Blanton connected with Landry Crawford for a 55-yard touchdown pass in the second period. Sabiem Beam ran a two-point conversion to trim the margin to 148. Kings Mountain’s defense played very well in the second half, making several big stops and giving the offense the ball in good field position for its second TD on an end around 35-yard run by Landon Zanders. The two-point conversion attempt failed, leaving the score at 14-14. Kings Mountain had another good drive deep in EL territory but was stopped by penalties.

Kings Mountain faced one of the quickest teams it will see last week in Shelby. The Mountaineers will see one of the biggest Friday night when they travel to Valdese for their first-ever game against Draughn High School. The Wildcats, also a Black and Gold team, have several linemen 250 pounds or better, not to mention senior fullback Adam Estep who weighs in at 260. “He’s humongous,� says Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. And, he’s good too. Estep and the Wildcats had a very good Chase team on the ropes last Friday before falling 13-7 in the last minute of the game. Draughn was driving the field and was at the six-yard line when a fourth down pass was broken up in the end zone. Draughn was driving with a 7-0 lead in the first half when Estep fumbled at the Chase 16 and it was returned for a touchdown. Chase added two field goals in the second half to win the game. “They had Chase beat, and Chase stayed right with Shelby the week before,� Lloyd noted, “so it’s going to be a pretty big task for us to go up there and win. We’ve See Big Test, 3B

Adrienne Greene (3) of Kings Mountain returns a shot to Draughn in SMAC volleyball game Monday at KMHS gym.
KM spikers move to top Kings Mountain High’s volleyball team avenged an earlier loss to Draughn Tuesday night at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium and in the process moved into first place in the SMAC 2A/3A. Draughn had beaten the Lady Mountaineers 3-2 in an earlier meeting in Valdese. The victory improved the KM ladies’ record to 11-1 in the conference and 13-2 overall.
Kayla Bolt, Gracie Hunter and Logan Smith were outstanding for the Mountaineers. Bolt had eight kills, five aces and 11 digs; Hunter had 11 digs, and Smith added five kills, 12 assists and two digs. The Lady Mountaineers were scheduled to host St. Stephens in a non-conference game last night. They go to Crest today and host R-S Central in a big game October 7 at 4:30.
Kings Mountain High’s soccer teams swept Draughn in a SMAC twin bill Monday night at John Gamble Stadium, with the varsity winning 3-0 and the JVs 3-1. Robbie Lysek put the Mountaineers up 1-0 in the 18th minute of play. Isaiah Cole made a long throw to the back of the post where Lysek headed in the goal over the outstretched arms of the Draughn keeper. Each team had good looks at the opponent’s goal but were turned away and the half ended 1-0. “Jarrett Ledford made a couple of good plays early in the match to keep the momentum for us tonight,� said KM Coach Dan Potter. The Mountaineers made a statement two minutes into
the second half as Robert Baker scored off a breakaway off a super pass from Arrick Rithiphong for a 2-0 lead. “Arrick drew defenders to him as he then slotted the perfect through pass to Baker,� said Potter. “Co-captain Jonmark Smith took a hard blast to the head near the end of the first half and it required a series of personnel moves to rearrange our lineup. But these young men responded very well Cameron Hord moved to fill the void at center back and Weston Harmon moved into the center midfield slot that Hord normally occupies. Jordan Sweezy moved into Harmon’s place as we had all team members contribute a See KMHS, 4B

Elite Trailblazers beat Chase teams 5-6 yr Tiny Mite Division K.M. Elite Trailblazers 27 Chase Trojans 0 Summary: Tristan Pressley, Zee Phillips, C.J. Houser, and Curtis Simpson scored a touchdown each all in the 1st half on their win against the Trojans. Jordan Littlejohn led the Tiny Mites offense with 5 carries 56 rushing yards. Davaugh Norris led the Trailblazer’s defense with 6 tackles (2 for a loss), 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery. The Trailblazer Tiny Mites improve their record to 4-2 in the Mid Atlantic Carolinas AYF Conference Division. Kings Mountain’s Darian McClain (23) gets off a good run against Shelby in Friday game at John Gamble Stadium. Shelby won 49-0.
LIONS: shutout KM 49-0 From Page 1B On their next drive the Mountaineers advanced to the Lions’ 29 before losing the ball on downs, and in the process lost their wide receiver and safety Jake Merchant to a leg injury. On Shelby’s first play Raekwon Washington took advantage of Merchant’s absence by catching a seam pass from
R.J. George and streaking through the Mountaineer defense for a 70-yard TD and a 21-0 lead. “The early turnovers turned the game around,� Coach Lloyd said. “They were just so quick it sort of snowballed after that. Losing Merchant didn’t help us at all. It was just a tough night.� The Mountaineers drove into Shelby territory three
more times in the second half but couldn’t dent the scoreboard. Kings Mountain’s passing game was held under 200 yards for the second week in a row. Brandon Bell was operating at a slower pace due to a rough night at Burns a week earlier and being hammered by a strong Shelby defensive line and linebackers. He finished with only 122 yards passing
with three interceptions and was held to 19 yards rushing on 12 carries. Tico Crocker accounted for 90 of the passing yards on seven receptions. Freshman Darian McClain led the KM rushing effort with 59 yards on 12 carries and RaeQuan Allen had 44 yards on seven attempts.
Summary: Darius Wilson led the Trailblazers with 7 carries 142 yards 2 touchdowns in their 26-6 victory over the Chase Trojans. Bryson Brown and Christan Smith also scored a touchdown a piece in the win. Sincere Love led the defense with 12 tackles (2 for a loss) & fumble recovery and A.J. Richardson added 5 tackles and 2 sacks. The K.M. Elite Mitey Mites improve their record to 5-1 in the Mid Atlantic Carolinas AYF Conference Division. 9-10 yr Jr. Pee Wee Division K.M. Elite Trailblazers 20 Chase Trojans 0
BIG TEST: Draughn has veteran backs, big OL and DL From Page 1B got to get past last week and go up there and play hard. It’s not going to be easy.â€? Lloyd said the Wildcats run multiple formations and like to run a lot of counters and sweeps. Defensively, they are multiple as well. “We didn’t get the greatest look on film (vs. R-S Central, who Draughn defeated, and Chase),â€? Lloyd said. “We just have to worry about ourselves. We have to execute and play better.â€? A lot of Mountaineers are questionable for this week, including freshman wide receiver Jake Merchant. “Jake will be back; I just don’t know if it will be this week,â€? Lloyd said. The status of several other players, including Dre Bell and Chance Frederick, is uncertain as well. Frederick, who has been out four weeks with a knee injury, was scheduled for a MRI this week. Bell has missed the last two games with back pain. The Mountaineers have been without the services of last year’s leading receiver, Xavier Johnson, all season. He had surgery on his foot 2 ½ weeks ago and will be out at least another two weeks, possibly more.
7-8 yr Mitey Mites K.M. Elite Trailblazers 26 Chase Trojans 6
Summary: Kobe Paysour led the K.M. Elite Jr Pee Wee’s charge with 5 carries 142 yards 2 TDs and Derek
Wilson added 2 carries 34 yards 1 TD in their back-toback shut out victory. Isaiah Tate and Damien Wilson led the Trailblazers defense with 4 tackles and 1 sack a piece. Javari Rice and Lucas Perez also had 4 tackles each. The Trailblazers improve their record 5-1 and we will be playing for 1st place in the Mid Atlantic Carolinas Jr Pee Wee Division showdown against the East Rutherford Cavs (6-0) on this upcoming Saturday at Kings Mountain High School @ 2:00 p.m. 11-12 yr Pee Wee Division K.M.

Racaylen Mack added 4 carries 126 yards 1 TD and Marques Fewell 4 carries 30 yards 1 touchdown. Racaylen Mack and Marques Fewell led the defense with 7 tackles each and Elijah Howell’s 90 yard interception return for a touchdown. The Trailblazers Pee Wees remains in 1st place in the Mid Atlantic AYF Conference with a 5-1 record. K.M. Elite Trailblazers will be hosting the East Rutherford Cavs on this week at Kings Mountain High School. The games start at 11:00 a.m.

Some more freshmen will probably be playing if Jake can’t play. “Bell is still beat up from two weeks ago,� he added. “He’s had a sore shoulder since the Burns game and he wasn’t feeling good Friday night. We’re going to try to get him as healthy as we can and get him to feeling better and maybe something good will happen this Friday night.�

Luke Rikard makes a drive down the field for the JV team’s 3-1 win against Draughn in Monday nights match-up at home.
KMHS: kickers sweep Draughn From Page 1B minimum of 25 minutes of playing time.” Ten minutes later, Rithiphong would steal a pass in the midfield and blast a 45-yard shot that went over the Draughn keeper who had played well out of his line all night. “I told the players at halftime to take a crack at a long shot as their keeper plays so far off the line,” said assistant coach Ted Trahan. Hunter Presnell helped celebrate his father’s 50th birthday with two outstand-
ing saves in the Mountaineer goal in the second half. “This was a total team victory and it marks the time third this season that the Mountaineers have shut out an opponent,” Potter said. “We are very proud of their efforts tonight as the players are really starting to reap the benefits of the off-season conditioning program.” The Mountaineers will be traveling to play at Crest on Wednesday for a very important SMAC match. The JV game begins at 5 p.m. followed by the varsity at 6:30.
The JV team also played a very good game Monday to run its record to 3-2-1 on the season. Wesley Hensen played solid in goal as Josh Scism, Luke Rikard and Sam Liss did the scoring for the Mountaineers. “Brandon Anderson, Noah and Riley Coleman had outstanding games on defense while Hunter Champion, Will Robinson, Justin Queen and Austin Humphries played very creative soccer in the midfield,” noted Coach Adam Bridges.
Kings Mountain Middle School's golf team is well on its way to defending its TriCounty Conference championship. The Patriots remained undefeated last week, shooting a 175 to outdistance North Lincoln (188) and Rutherford County (205) in a threeteam match. Alex Goff led the Patriots with a one-over-par 37. Harrison Conner shot 41, Tyler Withers 49, Natalie Lutz, 48, Chase Johnson 50 and Micah Randall 50. Coach David McDonald said credited all of his players with the success of the team. "Alex Goff has been playing excellent golf since the season started," McDonald said. "His highest score for nine holes is a 41 and that is with only irons. He is usually around par every practice and match. In two matches this year, he has been top medalist both times. I predict he will shoot a 33 or lower before the season is completed. Also, I predict he will be the top medalist in the county and conference. "Harrison Conner has been playing pretty well," he added. :At both matches and at all the practices Harrison scores around 40. In both matches so far, he has come in second place overall behind Alex Goff. Alex and Harrison are a great 1-2 punch. "Tyler Withers struggled yesterday; however, Tyler shot a 37 last week," McDonald noted. "Tyler has made a lot of progress from last year. He is still a little in-
consistent. When he is on he is just as good as Harrison and Alex. "Natalie Lutz is a seventh grade and has improve her game since the beginning of the golf season," McDonald said. "She had two bad holes yesterday. Last week, she shot her best score, a 42. She shoots around 45 overtime in practice. "Chase Johnson is getting better," McDonald said. "He is shooting 50 almost every time. I believe in a week or two he will be shooting 45 or lower. "Micah Randall is very capable of shooting in the mid 40's," McDonald said. "After he gets a little more consistent he will be an automatic starter. "Trenton Carson never played golf until early summer," McDonald pointed out. "KM Country Club stated that he was at the course almost every day during the summer. Trenton is a 7th grader. I expect Trenton and Natalie to carry the team next year. Trenton is still a little inconsistent; he is capable of shooting in the 40s. "Blake Reynolds is playing better than he was at the beginning of the season. Blake stays after practice to improve. He is shooting around 50. I expect Blake to be shooting in the 40's soon. "Logan Fleming has improved greatly since the beginning of the season. His scores are getting lower every time he plays. His swing, his putting, his chipping - all aspects of his game have improved. I expect Logan to be shooting in the 40s as well."
Lady Patriots lose to Burns in softball Kings Mountain Middle School lost to Burns 18-9 Thursday. Burns scored six runs in the first inning but the Patriots answered with seven in the second to take the win. The score wa tied at 8-8 going into the sixth before Burns opened up the game.

Corey Tate (40) picks up good yardage for Kings Mountain in JV game at Shelby Thursday.
Quick start lifts Shelby over KM JVs Shelby roared to an early 34-8 lead and held off Kings Mountain 42-24 in JV football action Thursday night in Shelby. The Lions scored the first two times they had the ball and eventually built a 34-8 lead halftime. Kings Mountain scored two quick touchdowns - on their last possession of the half and first of the third period - to trim the margin to 34-24 before Shelby tacked on a late touchdown. Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jayden Borders was unstoppable, scoring four touchdowns and a twopoint conversion to personally outscore the Mountaineers. KM also threw four pass interceptions, with Borders getting two of them. Borders caught a pair of six-yard TD passes to put Shelby up 14-0 at the 5:54 mark of the first quarter. Kavacia Shell caught a 56yard TD pass from Darquez Lee as Shelby went up 21-0 with 8:22 left in the half. The Mountaineers got a 21-yard kickoff return from Kavin Mosley to set up a 56yard drive that cut the margin to 21-8. Corey Tate scored from 13 yards out and Treyvon Wilson caught a two-point conversion pass from Darren Burns. Borders returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards to put Shelby up 27-8, and later caught an eight-yard TD pass to make it 34-8 with
Kings Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kavin Mosley (5) blocks for Trenton Moore in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s JV game at Shelby. 1:25 left in the half. KM got a 25-yard return from Mosley to start a 55yard, four-play touchdown drive which culminated with a 34-yard pass from Burns to Mosley with 4.6 seconds remaining in the half. Jair McCluney ran the two-point conversion to bring the score to 34-16. On the first possession of the second half, the Mountaineers got a 43-yard run on a reverse by Trenton Moore to set up a 3-yard TD run by McCluney. Burns ran the
two--point conversion to bring the Mountaineers within 34-24. Kings Mountain threatened several times in the second half - including one time when a touchdown run by Moore was called back - but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dent the scoreboard again. After stopping KM at the 20, Shelby drove 80 yards in eight plays to round out the scoring with 1:38 left. Kings Mountain got an outstanding effort from several players. McCluney fin-
ished with 64 yards rushing on 18 carries and Tate had 48 yards in six carries before being injured late in the first half. One of KMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading defenders, Seth Ortega, also left the game in the first half with an injury. Mosley had a great allaround game on offense, defense and special teams and Moore had 47 yards rushing on just three carries. Khal Welch played well on defense.

North Shelby in line for new building
PATRIOTIC – Teachers and students at Resurrection Lutheran Church Pre-School showed their patriotism on September 11 by wearing red, white and blue to classes.
Seniors connect with Internet, computers Dave Blanton dave.kmherald@gmail.com
The journey from student to teacher has come easily to Pat Bolte. When a spot opened this spring to teach a computer skills class for seniors at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center, she stepped right into the role after more than a dozen years as a student in the free class. “When I started (taking the classes) I didn’t know anything,” the sixty-six year old retiree says. “I started from scratch.” Since then, she has spent a great deal of her free time exploring the world of computers and the Internet. She’s also enrolled in many other classes over the years, including a few at Cleveland Community College and Mauney Memorial Library, which offers a free class in researching genealogical records. Now she says has several computers at home and is comfortable enough with them to take them apart and put them back together again. Bolte’s approach to teaching is fairly straightforward: she works one-on-one with the students until they learn what they want to learn. And she doesn’t spend time trying to teach the spreadsheet Excel or other elements of Microsoft’s Office suite to the students who come to class because she’s learned from experience that
there is little interest in such subjects. “I just go with the flow,” she said. “Because if I don’t, they’re gonna leave.” After she covers the basics about using a mouse and a keyboard, Bolte simply tries “to find out what they’re interested in.” Those interests vary as much as the range of topics found on the internet, she says, but some of the most popular activities for students in the senior center class are researching information about car parts, looking up recipes, sending flowers for a funeral or an anniversary and hearing about local goings-on. Most new students arrive not knowing much about email, which many have found to be a great tool for keeping up with far-flung children and grandchildren. Sarah Manning is one of Bolte’s most enthusiastic students. “I’ve learned a good bit since being in the class,” said the retiree who has been taking classes there for several months. Manning admits to being a neophyte when she first enrolled, but now says she can look up anything she wants and has a lot of fun poking around the Internet. Although she’s had a computer and an Internet connection at home for about 10 years, Manning said she was not really getting much out of it until she picked up
Pat Bolte has been ushering other senior citizens into the digital age through a Tuesday and Thursday computer skills class at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center since spring. Bolte herself is always learning more, she says, sometimes through other classes in the area and sometimes just by figuring things out on her own. some of the basics in the senior center class, which is held every Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Still, Manning maintains a healthy suspicion about at least the pitfalls of being online. “Sometimes computers are the worse thing you have because people can hack into you,” she said, referring to the potential of identity theft and other privacy concerns that can affect Internet users. For most students the class affords an opportunity to cruise online offerings like newspapers from around the world or to delve into the seemingly boundless world
of games that can be found across the web. That’s the case for Charles Sellers, who spends hours tinkering with – and sometimes mastering – popular games like Candy Crush and a bowling simulator. Both are stimulating, he says, and he’s really able to connect with the bowling game because he still visits the actual lanes when he can. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Sellers, who’s been active in the computer lab since March. “The people who attend the class can really learn a lot. They find out whatever they need to find out.”
Charles Sellers is a frequent visitor to the free class and computer lab at the senior center. He’s become very competitive at many of the games that are found online, such as bowling simulators and Candy Crush.

North Shelby School is in line for a new building probably in five years and upgrades are proposed at eight other schools in facilities upgrades discussed at the recent meeting of the Cleveland County Board of Education. John Yarbro, Assistant Supt. For Operations, said 20 people from each of the four attendance zones toured the schools and are making recommendations for new school construction, which will take several years. The most recent school construction projects completed were a new Shelby Middle School, Central Services offices and Turning Point Academy. Yarbro estimated that the North School project could
be as expensive as the Shelby Middle School project. Phase I projects are top priorities and Phase 2 projects are facility upgrades. The Phase 2 projects include upgrades at Bethware Elementary, Grover Elementary and Kings Mountain High School. Building age issues and buildings not connected at Bethware are being looked at. Grover has a building that uses steam heat and renovations are needed. A new classroom addition is projected at Kings Mountain High that has had 12 mobile units since 1999. Renovation of the football stadium press box, concession stands and restroom facilities are also proposed at KMHS.
