The forum, which attracted over 65 people, was hosted by the Cleveland County Chapter NAACP at the Cooperative Extension Auditorium in Shelby. Topics ranged from voter identification, school privatization, job recruit-

ment, how to correct disparity in county employment, and judges’ temperament Mary Accor in handling cases. All three candidates for the Senate seat in the 46th District ( ClevelandBurke) John McDevitt (D), incumbent Warren Daniel (R) and Richard Evey (Libertarian) attended.

Battleground Grill closed Battleground Grill, 222 Railroad Ave., is closed and Gastonia businessman Nick LaVecchia, owner of the building, has posted a for sale sign. The business, which opened in Kings Mountain in the old Plonk Brothers Department Store location, was first called Battleground Restaurant and underwent a name change recently to Battleground Grill. LaVecchia said he wanted

to thank the Kings Mountain community for all their support, adding, “We enjoyed the time we had in Kings Mountain.” He said the building is for sale and most likely will house a chain concept from Charlotte called American Roadside Burgers, similar to Five Guys with atmosphere and flair. “They are more family style and would lend itself well to the community,’’ said LaVecchia.

Yours, Ours, Others

Quote of the week...

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.â&#x20AC;? Brace yourself for wormy weather!

If you think the little cool snap we had over the weekend was something, just brace yourself. I was walking Gary Stewart the Gateway Trail the other day and saw a wooly worm. He was black on both ends and light brown in the middle. You know that means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a rough winter at the start, followed by mild weather, and then capped off at the end with more rough weather! You know those little caterpillars are never wrong. No more than that famous Pennsylvania groundhog that comes out of his hole every February 2, is blinded by TV cameras and scurries back to bed. Well, this little worm wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in too big of a hurry - I could have easily crunched him with my size eleven and a half - but maybe the reason he was crossing my path was that he was looking for place to bed down til spring. Old-timersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; folk lore, I guess you call it, has been predicting the weather for years, even before Doppler radar and weather men and women who take up way too much time on the TV every day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear them a half dozen times every halfhour while the important stuff we want to hear (sports!) gets about 30 seconds. When I was a high school kid I worked Saturdays at Hermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blalock Grocery on Grover Road. Each year he gave away calendars to his customers at Christmas, but he always kept one nailed to the wall behind the checkout counter and made a big X mark for every foggy day in August. He said there would be as many winter snows as there were fogs in August, and his predictions came just as close, if not closer, than the weather manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He also shared another way of predicting winter weather. Cut open a persimmon seed. The inside middle of the seed will show the shape of either a fork, spoon or knife. It itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fork, the winter will be mild. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spoon youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to shovel snow. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a knife youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have cutting winds. Try it, if you can find a persimmon tree. The shapes are in there. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old-timers (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s folks my age) remember how the late WBTV

Letters to the Editor

weatherman Clyde McClain got his nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cloudy.â&#x20AC;? One night when he gave the weather he said it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;partly cloudy.â&#x20AC;? The next morning everyone awoke to almost a foot of snow and some guy from Kings Mountain called McClain at WBTV and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just shoveled 10 inches of partly cloudy out of my driveway.â&#x20AC;? My mother used to say that when snow stays on the ground for three days, it is waiting for another. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many times she hit that prediction, but I do recall back in the late 50s or early 60s it snowed for about six Wednesdays in a row. We got out of school a lot, but we had to go on Saturdays to make up for it. My father-in-law always had a saying that in January, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thunder before eleven, snow in seven,â&#x20AC;? meaning that if you hear thunder before 11 a.m. there will be snow within a week. The people back before the advent of TV looked to nature to predict the weather. They said if acorns are plentiful in the fall and you see squirrels working hard to gather them up, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for a bad winter. Look on the ground, there are a lot of acorns out there right now. Of course, there are ways to predict the weather in other seasons as well. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a few Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard or read: -If cows lie down and refuse to get up, a storm is on the way. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going fishing, if David Hughes sees that he says the fish arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to bite. Of course, they never bite for me if the cows are up or down. -Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to rain if you see a lot of birds sitting on a telephone wire. -Red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors delight. -When dogs eat grass, a severe storm is brewing. -If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raining when the sun is shining, the devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beating his wife. -If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dry in the spring, it will be wet in the summer. -One of the best Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard is that if you see your dog running around and ducking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hailing. Duh. I would think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be in his house. I do know one thing for sure. My dog, which I keep in the pasture, has access to the barn and a dog house. He sleeps in the barn most of the time, but if you see him in his dog house, you can mark it down: A storm is on the way. Maybe that wormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right too!

NOTICE

Dear Editor: Outsourcing is a big problem here in Western North Carolina. This issue is clear: if we want jobs at home to grow the American economy, we have to show our elected representatives that we are serious about stopping the outsourcing of American jobs. I am tired of my tax dollars supporting companies that ship jobs overseas. With eight percent unemployment nationally, why To the Editor: I strongly encourage all voters to cast a ballot in the general election. While there is much focus on the Presidential election, there are other important races that deserve our attention. We have a wonderful opportunity to elect John McDevitt to the N.C. Senate and Patsy Keever to Congress. John and Patsy will be hard-working representatives for all of us. John McDevitt is a Cleveland County native and Kings Mountain High School graduate. He cares about his hometown and is ready to go to Raleigh to concentrate on creating jobs and helping the economy grow and supporting teachers and protecting public To the Editor: I have a dislike for politics. I prefer to vote on the person and particularly do not like smears on a candidate from either party. I believe in the truth and the One who knows all things and who is in charge of all things. He is the One who will put whomever He wants in the White House for whatever reason He has. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it in the past - no matter how much we think we can change things. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that I do not vote - I believe that voting is a right. When someone says to me that â&#x20AC;&#x153;one vote wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a differenceâ&#x20AC;? I tell them that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I have been watching To the Editor:

We appreciate your letters to the editor. Deadline for letters to the editor for the Oct.24, 2012 editorial page is 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22, 2012. In fairness to all candidates, no letters concerning candidates in the Nov. 6, 2012 general election will be run in the Herald after the edition of Oct. 24.

Fellow citizens of the 10th Congressional District: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing to ask you to consider voting for Patsy Keever, the Democratic candidate for Congress. Because of the recent re-districting, you may not know Patsy as well as her incumbent opponent (Patrick McHenry). But she is a hard-working public servant, presently representing District 115 in the NC House. I first met Patsy two years ago. During the primary for her House seat, I heard her on the radio, advocating a position on energy (my spe wendy.kmherald@gmail.com

are we giving tax breaks to these companies? We have good workers right here in Western North Carolina who need these jobs. We need to elect a representative who is willing to stand up to corporate interests and stop this madness. Patsy Keever puts people, not corporate donors, first. She wants to stop giving tax handouts to companies that refuse to invest in American workers. Right now, companies outsource jobs because it makes sense financially.

They pay lower wages overseas and still enjoy American tax breaks. We need to take these tax incentives away so that American companies have more reasons to invest in our workers and in our towns. If Patrick McHenry isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to stop giving tax breaks to companies that outsource jobs, then he has no business representing the 10th district of North Carolina.

school education. These issues are extremely critical to our quality of life. Simply put, we need John McDevitt as our state senator. He is the only candidate in the race who has a long-time connection to Kings Mountain. John believes in family values and spent many years in law enforcement protecting our families and communities. All of us are fed up with the gridlock in the do-nothing U.S. Congress. We desperately need a new face to represent the 10th District in Washington, and Patsy Keever is the person for the job. A retired school teacher, Patsy is wholeheartedly committed to education, which I care about deeply, and she understands how significant our children

are to building a better future for America. As you prepare to vote, please do not believe the biased TV commercials and trash-talk mailers, which are created by political groups in Raleigh and special interest organizations that are trying to deceive us. Be an informed voter. Know who you are voting for and know where the candidates stand on the key issues. Most important, vote for the people who you believe will best represent you and your family and are capable of moving our community, state and country forward.

like the rest of the country to see who this man really is who is running for the Republican Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important position. What I had seen before the Florida convention did not show me who he is and what he stands for. Mitt Romney is the candidate I will vote for because America definitely needs a change. But again it all depends on what the Lord has in mind - and I do mean Jesus Christ our Triune God. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if you have noticed but America is now a country worshiping many gods - just like it is referred to in the Old Testament and what do the 10 Commandments say? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thou shall have no other gods before me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I am not writing this letter to preach to you. I want

to tell you what I thought about the last night of the convention in Tampa. Was Mitt Romney the best man for the job? Yes. Did he have the qualifications that most were hoping and looking for?Yes . Here was someone whose desire, I believe, is to pull us up by our bootstraps, turn our country toward a future that will help us overcome our debt, encourage businesses to once again hire the jobless, and look with faith towards the future instead of wondering if there would be a future for America. I am now confident of my my vote come November.

cialty as an engineer) which I consider misguided. As luck would have it, we both attended a community event a few weeks later, and I asked Patsy if she was open to hearing an opposing view. She was, and we began a conversation which lasted several weeks, due to all her follow-up questions. When the issue finally came up for a House vote in 2011, Patsy voted (along with a solid bipartisan majority) to defeat a very bad bill. She listens. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a lobbyist or a paid political staffer. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even a Democrat. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a concerned citizen whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old enough to remember a time before Congress became

todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hyperpartisan, gridlocked, self-serving kindergarten. With 25 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience as a schoolteacher, Patsy Keever is precisely the sort of thoughtful adult we need to help restore Congress to its proper integrity, dignity and purpose. Every vote is a sacred trust, and I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll grant yours to Patsy Keever for Congress. If the past is any indicator of the future, I can assure you that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll earn it.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor, As a voter, I am terribly dismayed by the huge amount of money coming from corporate interests to some campaigns. Super PACs and corporate money are hurting our democracy and are making it harder for voters to know truth from lies. We should not continue to allow this kind of money to influence elections. This year, we are seeing billionaires and corporations dump huge sums into camDear Editor: The other day I received a mail piece from the N. C. Republican Party located over over 200 miles away yonder in Raleigh. It touted a man we don’t know, have never met and probably won’t ever see as the greatest man we could possibly ever meet and one who could represent us in the North Carolina General Assembly. On the other side it disparaged John McDevitt, a man who grew up among us here in Kings Mountain. He went to school here and graduated from KMHS along with many of you. While a teacher at KMHS I had the pleasure of To the Editor: Just went to my mailbox and retrieved five shiny mailers trashing the Democratic candidates. These mailers cost a great deal of money to print and send— who really is paying for them? Where is the money coming from? How much is coming from Super Pacs outside our state whose donors aren’t disclosed? This election is more than mailers—it’s about issues. I hope voters will cast ballots for candidates based on who will represent Kings Mountain and Cleveland County with their eyes focused on solving our problems.

paigns. I sincerely hope that North Carolina voters aren’t stupid and will recognize that greedy billionaires aren’t donating money out of the kindness of their hearts, they expect something in return! The beauty of voting is that every vote is equal. It is my hope that Americans will cast their ballots in their own best interests or that of their friends and families and not believe the lies told by ads made with corporate money! I want a representative

who will go to Washington for me and my family and not the interests of big money. That is why I am voting for Patsy Keever for the US House of Representatives, District 10. She has a true grassroots campaign and will not be beholden to corporate interests. For this election, we need to show candidates like Patrick McHenry that elections are not for sale!

teaching “Fuzz” as we all called him then. His dad was the Chief of Police here in Kings Mountain and I might add a good one. I suppose John was called “Fuzz” because of his dad’s profession. I knew John to be a good boy who grew up and became a good man and a stellar citizen. He married and settled in Burke County, where he went into law enforcement rising to the high office of Sheriff of Burke Co. He must have been a good public servant for those good people, both Democrats and Republicans, to continually re-elect him sheriff. Ask the people of Burke County about John and his record, they will tell

you that John is a good man and will ably represent us in the North Carolina Senate. I ask you to vote for John McDevitt based on the facts you personally know rather than turning away from him based on condemnations conjured up by faceless, unknown, party functionaries, who work in a dark back room in republican headquarters in Raleigh. They wouldn’t know John if they saw him or met him. I ask you to take politics up a notch and vote for John McDevitt to be our Senator in Raleigh. He will serve us well.

Remember the times our NC Senator Walter Dalton responded to our needs— the Kings Mountain projects he sponsored in the NC Senate which helped our community—the checks he wrote to help our community clubs in their activities—the football suppers and games he’s attended at Kings Mtn High School. He considers Cleveland County his other home county which he has represented for 16 years—12 as our Senator and 4 as our Lt. Governor. As NC Lt Governor, he has worked tirelessly with our county to bring jobs resulting in 21 companies either expanding or locating here.

Walter Dalton is a proven leader who will make an excellent NC Governor—a Governor who has personal ties with Kings Mountain and Cleveland County—a Governor who has established a relationship with us. He’s not the candidate who only knows our city as the site of a famous battle in history. He’s earned my vote, and I hope you’ll join me in electing him NC Governor. Walter Dalton is not just a politician but our friend. Just tossed those negative, smear mailers into the trash can.

Hospice to offer volunteer training Hospice volunteering is a labor of love for Sandy Russ of Kings Mountain. “Sandy runs errands at Hospice House, visits with some of the residents and their families, and even cuts hair occasionally,’’ sys Krista Haynes, Patient/Family Volunteer Coordinator for Wendover in Shelby and Hospice House in Kings Mountain. “We need volunteers at both facilities,’’ says Krista, who will conduct training sessions Saturday, Oct. 13 and Saturday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m.3 p.m. at KM Hospice House, 321 Kings Mountain Boulevard. To get credit for the entire course, volunteers need to attend both sessions particularly if they wish to volunteer directly with patients and families. However, other volunteers are needed to help in the office, in the kitchen at both facilities , to run errands, to help with fundraising and computer work. In addition to the training sessions geared to volunteers working with Hospice patients and families in the facilities and community, Haynes said she will be happy to meet with any other prospective volunteer at the local facility. ‘Heart to Heart” is one of the programs of Hospice. Volunteers visit residents and families at both facilities. and also go into the community wherever a need. This month a “Memory Bears” project is underway and volunteers who like to sew are welcome. The bears are dressed in material from the clothing of Hospice patients. Russ volunteers at Hospice House two days a week, usually 8-10 hours each day. “I love it,’’ she says. Haynes says the Kings Mountain facility serves eight patients and Wendover at Shelby serves 16. However, there are some 130 Hospice patients in the area, some in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and in their own

homes. “We serve them all,’’ she says. There is also a Watchman program conducted through the churches and circle groups and other organizations also provide a much needed service with contributions and gifts. Hospice House opened in Kings Mountain in May 2010. Wendover at Shelby opened in 1996. Haynes joined the staff at Wendover 16 years ago. ‘ “I love recruiting and

training volunteers,’’ says Haynes. She said that those attending the upcoming classes are under no obligation to volunteer. “It’s educational and they learn a lot about this program. Hospice Cleveland County offers high quality skilled compassionate care and support for patients with lifelimiting, illness, their families and the community. Hospice Cleveland County serves people regardless of ability to pay.

To the Editor: We seniors commiserate about the miseries of old age while assuring ourselves “it’s better than the alternative!” But we do have a unique advantage. We’ve lived through a broad sweep of history and seen first-hand our beloved country becoming itself. What challenges we’ve faced! And not just wars. Together as Americans, we’ve pulled ourselves out of deep economic depression, devised ways for the old and poor to live in dignity, built the greatest middle class in history, invested in the future through the education of our children, pushed for the civil rights of all….I marvel at what I’ve seen these past 75 years, so proud my efforts and taxes contributed toward it. And always it has been the Democratic Party leading forward to our ever “more perfect union”—enduringly optimistic we Americans will prosper given opportunity and open doors. Notwithstanding the heat of partisanship, DeTo the Editor: I am running for the North Carolina Senate to represent Cleveland and Burke County. I just retired after 37 years as a law enforcement officer and after being elected to four terms as the Sheriff of Burke County. I grew up in Cleveland County and graduated from Kings Mountain High School. My father was a military policeman in the Air Force and then in law enforcement for 40 years, serving as the Chief of Police in Kings Mountain during the 60’s and 70’s. My wife is the Chief of Police at the North Carolina Hospital facilities in Morganton (Broughton Hospital), NC School for the Deaf. My wife and I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. Our oldest

mocrats have in times past worked with Republicans in Washington and Raleigh to enable that steady march forward. To keep working on intractable problems until we tamed them though it took years sometimes. But today I’m uneasy that the Republican Party has moved too far right for our moderate state and country. Uneasy that the solutions Republicans insist on would up-end this country we know and precipitously demolish the social covenant we’ve made together and rely on. It seems to me the Republican Party I’ve known and respected as proudly “conservative” has become just too radical now—for example, proposing the end of Social Security and Medicare as we know them, lessening our American commitment to public education, weakening safety nets, seeming to narrow rights, blurring our Founders’ separation of church and state, and, in some quarters, proposing even to change our Constitution. Hearing such proposals, I just want to stand up and

shout, “No, no! We Americans like our country the way we’ve built it!” Of course we have to solve the debt and deficit problem and continue getting the country back to full strength after two unfunded wars and the economic crash of 2008. Another potential economic chasm looms immediately before us. But history and my own experience living through it tell me we Americans can overcome this challenge and the many others before us, not by radically changing who we are but by being who we are. So I’ll vote straight Democratic again this election. For President Obama. And for all those other Democrats on the ballot, who do understand we like our country the way we’ve built it. Who understand their job is to make that country work, economically and otherwise, always looking forward and always seeking to improve. Far better for us all than the alternative.

son if a Chief Warrant Officer in the US Army and is about to begin his 7th deployment to a war zone (Afghanistan). There are many reasons why I seek to serve Cleveland and Burke County in the NC Senate. I have 37 years of experience working with people and solving problems. When I took office as Sheriff, Burke County had its highest crime rate in recorded history. When I retired Burke County had its lowest crime rate in recorded history. I have been endorsed by the State Employees Association of NC, the NC Association of Educators,the NC League of Conservation Voters and the Fraternal Order of Police. I was voted Best Elected Official in Burke County in 2010 and 2011. I have become ab-

solutely disgusted with our political system. Our state and nation are so politically deadlocked that nothing is getting accomplished. As Sheriff I worked for all people, I am not about Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative. I don’t want to get involved in a war of words. I just want to brings jobs to Cleveland and Burke County. I just want to improve our schools and I will work with anyone who will do those things. I have enjoyed my years of public service and am asking that you trust me as the people of Burke County have for the past 37 years and allow me to be your representative in the NC Senate.

Said McKoy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No pros. I am a product of public education in Gaston County. There are going to be a lot of losers with parents that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the funds to send their child to private schools. It really hurts everyone across the board.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Evey said he believes in competition in schools but not in total privatization. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;We need more competition, more religious, charter schools,etc. to give parents the right to choose where they want to send their children.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Daniel said that he believes that the best education for our children is when parents have more school choices. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cap on charter schools in North Carolina, he added. Daniel said that children learn in different environments and they are better off with more options. McDevitt said he and his children are a products of public education. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place for virtual charter schools, he said, for those kids who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in public education all day. But he said that some kids are not receiving the right education when you take that public school away from them. McDevitt said more checks and balances are needed to make sure kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall through the cracks. County commission candidates were asked what their plans are to create jobs for the average skilled worker in Cleveland County and if incentive packages are offered to recruit industries should our citizens not have the expectation of employment first before hiring outside the county. To this question Mary Accor said that the county must be competitive in order to lobby and land new industry and that the county does have skilled laborers who go to work for these new companies and also for companies expanding. Both Ronnie Hawkins and Johnny Hutchins talked about tax incentives and the expansion of 21 existing industries and new industries that brought jobs. All three noted the importance of team working

by the commission and the partnerships, including job training at Cleveland Community College and Gardner-Webb University which offers incentives for the work force. Accor said numerous partnerships have resulted in 1/2 of the job corps reported by N. C.Economic Development in North Carolina. All three said the county has also worked with local and state representatives to bring jobs to Cleveland County. A second question posed to commissioners: In Cleveland Count the majority of county employees are white females, second are white females followed by black females. The lowest number of county employees are black males, Asians, Latinos, Native American and people with disabilities. What will you do to correct these disparities in county employment, McIntosh asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard to close the gap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Hutchins, who is county commission chairman. Accor and Hawkins added that recommendations are made but that ultimately the decision to hire is by department heads and new industrial leaders, some of whom sponsor job fairs. Accor said that education is the key, working one on one with students looking for work and encouraging their training at local colleges. What do you think the temperament of a judge should be? asked McIntosh of Meredith Shuford, candidate for reelection in District 27-B. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very important and essential to be patient,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Shuford who practiced law for 10 years before her election as district judge. She responded that the most important aspect of handling a docket of cases is making decisions in a timely fashion. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;People spend money to litigate issues whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil custody, family law, criminal, etc. and judges should render timely decisions and practice the highest standards of professionalism,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said.

Homecoming Queen

October 10, 2012

Mountaineers at North Gaston Friday GARY STEWART Sports Editor

Naeemah James was crowned KMHS Homecoming Queen during halftime of Friday night’s game with Ashbrook at John Gamble Stadium. She is the daughter of Ronnie and Candy McKinney.

North Gaston in the past has been a win most teams could take for granted. Not anymore. When Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers travel to Trudnak Stadium in Dallas Friday night they’ll face another tough task against a good Big South team. North Gaston’s 1-7 record isn’t that impressive, but the Wildcats’ offense is; so Kings Mountain’s defense, which is giving up an average of 29 points per game and 35 per game in September and October, must play its best game of the season. Second-year head coach Mike Patton has the Cats’ triple-option attack clicking at a rate almost as impressive

as the South Point redbone which he implemented when he became the North coach prior to last season. The Wildcats have played most of their opponents close, including perennial state powers like Asheville, Hickory and Crest. The only two teams they haven’t taken to the wire were South Point and Ashbrook, two of the most athletic teams in the state. Last week they led the Chargers most of the game before Crest scored on a busted play in the final two minutes for a 43-36 win. The week prior, they played a very good Forestview team a one touchdown game. The Wildcats roar behind a good offensive line and quick backs.

Green Wave rolls Mountaineers 44-18 KM spikers beat GARY STEWART Sports Editor

Kings Mountain’s defense continued to give up the big play as the Mountaineers fell 44-18 to Ashbrook in a Big South 3A game Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. Like Hunter Huss the week before, the Green Wave scored on its very first offensive play and added two more one-play touchdown drives to hand the Mountaineers their fourth straight loss. Kings Mountain has given up six one-play drive touchdowns in the last two games with Huss taking just one play to score three of its five touchdowns, and Ashbrook taking just one play to score three of its six. Kings Mountain hasn’t won since defeating Alexander Central 55-33 in a nonconference game on September 7 at Gamble Stadium. They hope to break their four-game skid Friday night at North Gaston against a team that had Crest on the ropes last week before falling 43-36 in the final two minutes. After Ashbrook’s defense forced KM to punt on the game’s opening possession, Marcus James took a handoff from sophomore quarterback Austin Mitchell and broke through the right side of the line for a 54-yard touchdown and a quick 7-0 lead. Kings Mountain rebounded briefly, driving from its own 20 to the Ashbrook two yard line before an offside penalty and quarterback sack forced them to settle for a 29yard field goal by Jeremiah Early. Kings Mountain’s defense was somewhat successful, holding Ashbrook to a 37-yard field goal by Ross Taylor that gave the Green Wave a 10-3 lead after the first quarter.

Taquisha Smith had nine aces and 16 assists to lead Kings Mountain’s volleyball team over Hunter Huss.

Kayla Bolt led the varsity with eight kills and three aces. Lyndsey Murphy had four kills and two aces. Tuesday the Lady Mountaineers defeated Hunter Huss 2516, 25-18, 25-9.

Kings Mountain's Tico Crocker tries to shake loose from an Ashbrook defender in Friday's Big South 3A game at Gamble Stadium. But the Green Wave rolled to 28 points in the second quarter to break the game wide open. After recovering a fumble at their 45, the Green Wave took just three plays to go up 17-3 on a 39 yard reception by E.J. Vanderpuye; and following a KM punt they converted a 3rd and 31 third down from their own 24 yard line and scored two plays later on a three yard run by Tylik Roberts.

A 62-yard catch and run by James on the first play following a KM punt increased the margin to 31-3, and with just eight seconds left in the half Grant Stafford intercepted a Jonathan Clark pass and returned it 90 yards to put the Green Wave up 38-3 at the half. Tico Crocker came over from defense to join the offense in the second half as Trevin Torres was hurting from an injury, and capped a

65-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run around left end to cut the margin to 38-10. Trailing 44-10 following a five-yard touchdown run by James with 9:40 remaining, the Mountaineers got a 28yard kickoff return by Xavier Johnson to set up a 71-yard drive capped by a screen pass from Clark to DaShon Guest covering 42 yards. Clark ran for the two-point conversion to round out the scoring at the 6:26 mark.

Vaccination Options for Seniors This Flu Season Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any new or different types of vaccines being recommended to seniors this flu season? Health Conscious Carol Dear Carol, There are actually several different types of flu shots available to seniors this year, along with a new FDA-approved shot for pneumonia. Here are your options. Flu Shots Just as they do every year, the CDC strongly recommends a seasonal flu shot to almost everyone, but it’s especially important for seniors who are more vulnerable. The flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills around 24,000 – 90 percent of whom are seniors. This year, all seniors 65 and older have two flu vaccine options from which to choose. A traditional flu shot, or a shot of Fluzone High-Dose. The high-dose vaccine contains four times the amount of antigen (the part of the vaccine that prompts the body to make

antibody) as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. And if you’re under age 65, your two options are a regular flu shot, or a shot of Fluzone Intradermal. The intradermal vaccine uses a shorter, thinner needle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like standard flu shots. If you’re squeamish about needles, this is a nice option. You also need to be aware that if you’re allergic to chicken eggs or if you have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past you should not get vaccinated without consulting your doctor first. To locate a vaccination site that offers regular, high-dose and intradermal flu shots, ask your doctor or pharmacist, or check the online flu-shot locator at flu.gov. Most chains like CVS, Walgreens, Safeway, Kmart, Walmart, Rite Aid and Kroger offer all types of shots.

*Contact Kristina McNeil for details.

You’ll also be happy to know that if you’re a Medicare beneficiary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any flu shot. But if you’re not covered, you can expect to pay around $25 to $35 for a regular or intradermal flu shot, or $50 to $60 for a shot of the high-dose. Pneumonia Vaccine The other important vaccination the CDC recommends to seniors – especially this time of year – is the pneumococcal vaccine for pneumonia and meningitis. Pneumococcal diseases hospitalize around 300,000 U.S. seniors each year, and kills around 5,000. The CDC currently recommends all seniors 65 or older get a one-time only shot of the vaccine Pneumovax, as well as those under 65 who smoke or have chronic health conditions like asthma, lung and heart disease, diabetes, or a weakened immune system. Pneumovax, which protects against 23 strains of the pneumococcal disease, is also covered 100 percent under Medicare Part B, and you can get it on

Power Lift Chairs Just 549.99

the same day you get your flu shot. If you’re not covered by insurance, this vaccine costs around $45 to $85 at retail clinics. You also need to know that this year, there’s an alternative pneumococcal vaccine available to people age 50 and older called Prevnar 13. This vaccine, which has been available to children for several years, may provide seniors longer lasting and better protection against pneumonia than Pneumovax. Talk to your doctor to determine which pneumonia vaccine is best for you. Prevnar 13 is also covered by most insurers including Medicare Part B, but if you aren’t covered the shot runs between $100 and $150. Send your questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman OK 73070, or visit Savvysenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Middle School golfers off to perfect start Mary Baxter wins first $5,000 raffle

Kings Mountain Middle School’s golf team is off to a great start with three straight wins, and hoping to run the table in the Tri-County Conference. Coach David McDonald’s team has won by 12, 10 and 28 strokes in their first three matches, the latter coming Monday in misty and cold conditions at Kings Mountain Country Club. The Patriots finished with a 9-hole total of 172 to outdistance West Lincoln (200), East Lincoln (202) and Burns (207). Only 10 of the 28 golfers shot under 50 in those conditions. Six of them were from Kings Mountain. Dawson Adams was medalist with a 40, followed by Ben Gates of West Lincoln with a 41. Other KM

scores were Carson Bailey 43, JT Cash 44, Alex Goff 45, Elliott Mann 45 and Landon Ervin 46. The Patriots opened their season on September 25 at KMCC with a win over North Lincoln, Rutherford County and Burns. The Patriots shot 160, followed by North Lincoln 172, Rutherford County 192 and Burns 199. Aaron Digh of North Lincoln, a two-state regional champion in youth golf, was medalist with a 34. Adams led the Patriots with a 38, followed by Goff with a 40, Bailey and Harrison Conner with 41s, Cash 44 and Mann 48. On October 3 at Riverbend, the Patriots shot a 169 to beat Crest (179), North Lincoln (187) and West Lincoln (188). Goff and Andrew

MS Sports Briefs Patriot kickers lose to Burns Kings Mountain Middle’s soccer team fell to Burns 4-3 in overtime Monday afternoon. Mason Nguyen scored off an assist from Josh Scism to tie the score at 1-all at halftime. Neither team scored in the second half. Burns won in overtime on penalty kicks. KM’s kicks were from Will Robinson and Justice Lamb.

Patriots lose 7-6 to Burns Kings Mountain fell to Burns 7-6 in a Tri-County Middle School softball game Monday. Jennifer Hamrick and Kassidy Hamrick pitched for the Lady Patriots. Megan McQueen and Destiny Hamrick had hits and Mandy Hamrick scored two runs.

Lady Patriots win cross country title Kings Mountain Middle had the top three runners and five of the top ten as the Lady Patriots won the Tri-County Conference cross country meet Thursday at the KM 2-mile course. Kaitlyn Moss finished first, followed by Virginia Dellinger in second and Meridith Wyte in third. Kayla Capps finished ninth and Brooke Patterson tenth. Montanna Smith, Carmen Henwood and Ashley Sprenger also finished in the top 22 out of 90 runners. Austin McKee led the KM boys with a sixth place finish. Landon Ervin ran 20th. Others scoring for KM were Lane Bell, Bryson Key and Michael Sparks.

Patriots defeat Lincolnton Kings Mountain defeated Lincolnton 46-20 in a TriCounty Middle School football game Wednesday in Lincolnton. Jake Merchant led the Patriots with three touchdowns, including two rushing scores and a 30-yard pass reception.

Kevin Mosley scored on a 65 yard reception and a fumble return. Darren Burns had one rushing TD and threw two touchdown passes. The Patriots scored on their first three possessions and built a 30-6 halftime score. The defense recovered there fumbles and intercepted a pass. Kings Mountain, 2-1 in the division and 2-2 overall, travels to West Lincoln today at 5 p.m.

MS girls beat Lincolnton Kings Mountain defeated Lincolnton 12-1 in a TriCounty Middle School Conference softball game Thursday. Kassidy Hamrick threw a complete game for the Lady Patriots. Ashton Withers was perfect at the plate, going 4for-4 with two doubles and there runs scored. Jennifer Hamrick and Briasia White had RBI doubles and Madison Hoyle had a RBI triple. Cassidi Melton, Destiny Hamrick and Mandy Hamrick had hits for Kings Mountain.

Propper of Crest shared medalist honors with 38s. Other KM scores were Adams 41, Conner, Bailey and Mann 45 and Cash 47. Kings Mountain was scheduled to face Crest and RS Central yesterday at Riverbend, and will go to Deerbrook Oct. 16 for the Cleveland County Tournament. Their season ends Oct. 23 with the conference meet at Riverbend. The Patriots finished fourth in the conference last season, but McDonald and his Patriots are hoping for a much higher finish - possibly the conference championship - this year. Their confidence is understandable, because the Patriots have several players that have been playing golf most of their young lives.

Alex Goff, who plays regularly at KMCC and in youth tournaments, is just 12 years old and in the seventh grade but has been playing golf since he was two. He regularly shoots in the high 30s and low 40s. Dawson Adams, an eighth grader who is playing school golf for his second year, says he is “more consistent” this year than last. So is Carson Bailey, a 13-year-old eighth grader who has been playing golf since age 5. “Really, this year we’re all shooting better scores,” Bailey said. “A lot of people this year have better short games.” All the Patriots agree that playing regularly - whether with the school team or on their own - has been the reason for improvement.

KM girls second in Forestview CC Kings Mountain’s girls finished second and the boys fourth in a six-team cross country meet last week at Forestview High School in Gastonia. Cassie Morton and MacKenzie Smith finished second and fourth, respectively. Morton finished in 21:28 seconds, just behind winner Deja Anderson of Shelby (21:16). Smith ran the course in 22:49. KM’s Mariah Roberts ran 14th, Annamarie Fulbright 18th, Katie Ellis 25th, Radhika Patel 26th, McKay Williamson 29th, Emily Crouse 33rd, Erica Carpenter 44th, Spencer Burton 50th and Sydney Morris 51st. Shelby won the team battle with 39 points, followed by KM 60, Forestview 64, Lincolnton 76, East Gaston 80 and North Gaston (no score). Logan McGill led the KM men with a seventh place finish in 19:24. Vincent Comesana of Forestview was the individual winner in

MOUNTAINEERS: at North Gaston Friday From page 1B fullback, and junior quarterback Nick Haskin are two of the best backs in the area. The offense will be a challenge for the Kings Mountain defense, which has given up a lot of long scoring plays over their first eight games, including six one-play touchdown drives in the last two games. Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd said Kings Mountain’s best chance at winning is to keep the North Gaston offense off the field. “They run their offense really well,” he said. “It’s a big challenge for us. We’ll have to do our best to keep our offense on the field and keep them off the field. We want to stay out there and keep them on the sidelines.

“It will be very tough,” he added. “They are playing as good as anybody in the conference right now. They could have very easily beaten Forestview and Crest the last two weeks. It’s been hard for them to get over the hump but they’ve controlled games.” This season, which in preseason was shaping up as a good one, has been frustrating for the Mountaineers. They’ve had to play through injuries to key personnel and other adversity. “It’s been frustrating,” Lloyd says, “but we’ve got some players that are playing very well. Things just haven’t come together the last two weeks. We’ve played good competition. We’re beat up and have battled through losing some key players. But we haven’t quit.”

Four of KM’s six losses came by a touchdown or less. Only South Point, which is ranked #2 in the state, and Ashbrook, which is always one of the most athletic teams in the state, beat the Mountaineers handily. “Ashbrook’s got the best players we’ve seen,” Lloyd noted. “They just outplayed us and were a better team.” The Mountaineers may be without the services of more key players this week but Lloyd is confident his team will give a great effort Wide receiver/kick returner Trevin Torres, who hurt his arm two weeks ago against Hunter Huss, cracked a bone in the arm last week and could be out for the rest of the season. Lloyd will know later in the week if he can play. “He’s probably out,” the coach said. “If he can play with a cast we’ll play him at defensive back and move Tico Crocker to

offense. Tico did a fine job on offense (after Torres had to leave the game) Friday night. If Torres can play we will switch them. If not, Tico will play both ways.”

The Mountaineers’ leading rusher DaShon Guest has also been bothered for the past month with a broken finger. “We hope he will be alright,” Lloyd said.

Through Pastor Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anointed leadership, we were able to purchase land and build a new church home at 127 Countryside Road.

Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about my life, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about hers.
