The 17,000 square feet addition will add new space for a multipurpose room, exercise room, computer lab, nutritionist office, storage space, new rear lobby area, two new restrooms in back of building and renovated existing space for counseling offices, new space for billiard/game room to be dou-

Plans are also to expand the lunch program to allow the center to prepare and serve meals in house and increase food services for use of conference facilities. The former lunch program had served up to 120 people in the old train depot but because of cutbacks in federal
subsidy the number served in recent months has not met the need for a lunch program.

Think ‘pink’ Events planned for cancer survivors Breast cancer survivors are thinking pink at two events planned by two Kings Mountain businesses Wednesday (today) in Kings Mountain. Howard Elmore, president of Hometown Hardware, is rolling out the pink carpet at 10 a.m. for a morning of entertainment and prize drawings for area breast cancer survivors. Iredell County Fire Fighters Association’s pink fire truck will be on hand with pink tshirts available again this year. Hometown is also selling raffle tickets for $25 for items including a Pink BB gun, pink door decoration, pink tool kit, black Columbia fleece with pink ribbon, and a Case Cares mini trap-
per knife. All proceeds from the raffle drawings will go directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Rob Bolin, president of 238 Cherokee Grill, is rolling out the pink carpet at 1 p.m. for the third annual breast cancer survivor’s luncheon at 238 Cherokee Grill in downtown Kings Mountain. Featured entertainment at the luncheon will be an Elvis impersonator, and Cherokee Grill Manager Cynthia Howard says you don’t want to miss him. “We invite every breast cancer survivor to attend both events and invite others who may not have been contacted this week,� said Howard.
Students in the Cleveland County Schools celebrated Bully Prevention Week with a variety of activities last week. A number of elementary schools had guidance counselors visit every room and secure signatures on a no-bullying contract. West Elementary sponsored a Bully Prevention Unity Day rally, featuring orange t-shirts and matching orange balloons that were released into the sky. The day also featured an acrobatic performance by four Gardner Webb University cheerleaders. School administrators have also established a Bully Education Task Force that seeks to continue education and training in schools, develop a database of best practices and techniques to deal with bullying as well criteria for response.

Seniors beware of scam Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman is warning senior citizens of a scam operating in the county. “Someone is calling seniors and promising them big money but first they want a cashier's check for $500 wired to them to take care of
the paperwork,'' said Norman. Norman said the call is from an off-shore number and possibly in the New York City area. “Disregard those calls and call law enforcement,'' says the Sheriff.

Discovery Cove is an ‘underwater world’ First Kidz, the new children’s ministry at First Wesleyan Church, is a Sunday morning experience for children age 3 through 5th grade that your kids won’t want to miss. “I didn’t like to go to Sunday School and church and now I love it,” said one youngster. As one excitedly pointed to the launch pad, another welcomed visitors to Creation Cove, Discovery Cove, Jump Street and Designer Babies. The program is not limited to families of the church. It’s open to the community. Every Sunday about 10:20 a.m. parents and grandparents register young ones in the remodeled children’s wing of the church on Waco Road for a program from 10:45 until 12 noon. The Children’s Ministry is unique. Electric blue, orange, yellow and Congo green walls brighten individual classrooms and hall in an environment kids love. In Creation cove you might find monkeys in trees and more examples of God’s creation in a safari setting. Enter an ‘underwater world’ in Discovery Cove with kindergarten
and first grade students. Step on the launch pad with 2nd and 3rd graders and get ready to go to the moon with them as you examine the plans and purposes God has for your life. Take a giant leap in Jump Street as 4th and 5th graders learn there is only one road to follow the Son. A large theater is the blast off space station and really a blast the eclectic lighting, music, videos, games, and much more is the perfect spot kids love. Designer Babies – ages 0-2, is much more than a nursery. First Kidz is a worship experience that’s drawing many unchurched children and the goal of the program is to excite a child’s whole family in worship. “God gave us a clear vision,” said Youth Pastor Caleb Williams whose father, Rev. Don Williams has been pastor at First Wesleyan Church for 18 years. The church inaugurated the program with Vacation Bible School this summer, according to Debra Williams, wife of the pastor, who said that prior to the opening volunteers from the church painted

Food banks getting $2M windfall DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
North Carolina food banks are in line to get $2 million in new grants to help fight hunger, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced Monday. That translates to about $400,000 in food aid for this area, which includes Cleveland County and 18 other counties in the Charlotte region, according to Noelle Talley, a spokesperson for Cooper’s office. The money comes at a time when the state’s food banks are working harder than ever to help needy families. Approximately one in five North Carolinians lack access to enough food to eat, including more than one in four children under the age of five. The largest food bank serving Cleveland County is Metrolina’s Second Harvest, which serves partner agencies in the county, according

The grants come amid a federal government shutdown, which could stifle funding of the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) food program. “It’s time for the president and Congress to remember who they work for. The American people pay taxes 365 days a year and have the right to expect the federal government to be fully operational every day of the year,� McCrory said in the release.
Shooting range coming to CC? Cleveland County is coming closer to having a public shooting gun range at the county’s landfill facility at 250 Fielding Road, Cherryville. The gun range has been a project close to county commissioner Johnny Hutchins’ heart, and after five years and more than 3,000 petition signatures it could become a reality. County commissioners were voting Tuesday night on an agreement with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, which is looking at placing shooting ranges throughout the state. Hutchins has pushed the idea because he believes a gun range would provide a safe environment for people to enjoy the sport of shooting as wells as gun safety and training.

WIC program secure through end of October RALEIGH — Secretary Aldona Wos announced that the Department of Health and Human Services has secured additional funds to continue the WIC program as of October 11. DHHS has determined it can ensure the stability of the program through the end of October using lapsing funds from the previous fiscal year, additional contingency funds from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and product rebates from WIC formula manufacturer, Nestle Foods. “By securing sufficient funds, we are able to continue supporting the women and children who depend on WIC,� said Wos. “Our state is one of the highest volume states for the WIC program so we take the impact of the shutdown very seriously.� In response to the federal government shutdown, the issuance of WIC vouchers was suspended on Oct. 8 because DHHS did not have sufficient funds to issue new vouchers. Local health departments are being notified to resume issuing WIC vouchers. The WIC Program has an annual budget of $205 million. During September, the program provided supplemental food, health care referrals and nutrition education for almost 264,000 women, infants and young children in North Carolina. WIC also impacts more than 2,000 local grocery stores and other food businesses around the state. The Cleveland County Health Department would like to thank the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association for their support and willingness to organize and distribute nutritious food items to WIC clients in need. The health department encourages the community to continue to donate specified non-perishable food items to the GCCBA because if the government shutdown continues, there will once again be a need for food items beginning November 1.

If the memorandum is approved by the commission, the next step would be final approval in Raleigh by the N. C. Wildlife Commission. If approved, the wildlife commission would provide design development and construction of the range site work, obtain all permits, provide $25,000 in funding towards construction of restrooms at the facility and request an NRA grant in the amount of $25,000. The county commission would provide necessary property for use of a shooting range including pistol, skeet and trap, rifle and 3D archery range and provide the staffing to man the range with a certified range officer during operation hours, routine maintenance, promote the range using the Wildlife Resources Commission logo and diamond on naming the facility, any office building, and designate a shooting range advisory board.

MEDITATION
Josh Tucker Pastor St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church
An unknown road My grandma always used to love taking unknown roads when we were out driving around. Each time she would turn down a road
I had never seen before, I must have given her a worried look. “Who knows where it will take us,” she would say, “but you’ll never know unless you try it – we’re just out for a cool ride right now.” As a ten year old, I didn’t always agree that getting lost during a “cool ride” was the most enjoyable thing to do. After all, being lost is not a desirable place to be, not for a young boy at least who would always fear the worst. Perhaps her antics were used to teach me a lesson in the importance of trying new things, a lesson of trust, or even a lesson in being laid back and in going with the flow at times in life. Or, perhaps, these were times when she may have been teaching through
these demonstrations a lesson of faith. Of course, the resulting fear that came about from our “cool rides” together and in taking an unknown path was that we wouldn’t be able to find our way back home. That if we were lost and couldn’t find our way back home we would be forever separated from our friends and family; separated from familiarity and routines. But it never failed, that in the midst of the fear, in the midst of not knowing our way, I often found exhilaration and excitement. There was something fun about being lost in that car with her going down a road I didn’t know. It was a fear that I knew wouldn’t hold water; a fear that I knew
would eventually go away. Because, every time we would come to the end of the road, my grandma would look over at me and smile and say, “Oh, I know where we are now.” And suddenly, I saw familiar surroundings as well. Maybe she knew all along, but I always knew that our being lost was only a temporary thing. I think the life of the faith challenges us like this at times. Sometimes we may feel as if we are going down an unknown road. Sometimes we may not know our way, feeling as if we are lost and separated from familiarity. Perhaps even as we take risks on behalf of our faith, in taking new paths to live out God’s mission and ministry for us, we may find that
the unknown can be exhilarating because God’s love for us is never lost. We are never apart or separate from God; he is always present in our lives. He loves us entirely, even as we take an unfamiliar path and sometimes get lost in this world. Paul wrote, “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39). Thanks be to God for the truth of his love in our lives that our being lost in this world is only a temporary thing.

Grandparents Day at KMIS Grandparents of students at Kings Mountain Intermediate School had lunch with their grandchildren on “Grandparents Day� recently. “Grandparents are our heritage and essential members of our families
and communities and that’s why we honored them, said Tonnie Bearfield of the school staff. Children enjoyed having their pictures taken with their grandparents by Principal Gilmore.

DISCOVERY COVE: is an underwater world From page 1A the classrooms and 40 workers now run the program on Sundays. “They give up their worship service in the sanctuary to lead these young people and it’s just wonderful that God has blessed us this way,� she said. The teachers were trained in the ministry and enjoy a program that teaches kids about God, and they learn in a setting they relate to. “Children are learning that it’s fun to go to church and they tell us they look forward to coming to church all week long,� said Caleb Williams. He said the idea for the ministry came from a program he and his
family and some church members attended at New Spring in Anderson, SC. This mega church has 11,000 members and conducts four services on Sundays and at various campus churches. Caleb said New Springs has offered materials and activity suggestions on the theme: discover, (who God is) identify, (that God has a specific plan and purpose for their life) explore that plan and move forward in that plan. Interactive Bible study, games, skits, music, media, small group break-outs, nothing boring because doing God’s work is exciting and never boring, says the director. Reaching out to the community is the program’s goal. Obviously it’s working.
Four-time Grammy Award winner David Holt and rising acoustic music star and Grammy nominee Josh Goforth are appearing at the Joy Performance Theater this Saturday at 8 p.m. for a night of old time mountain music and storytelling. Between them they combine the virtuosic sounds of guitar, banjo, fiddle, slide guitar, mandolin, and a world of exciting rhythm instruments from hambone (body slapping) rhythms, to spoons, stump-fiddle, rhythm bones, jaw harp, and even paper bag. The duo’s songs, stories and musicianship is designed for listeners of all ages.
Holt is recognized as one of the nation’s foremost folk musicians and storytellers. For 35 years he has been collecting and performing the music of the old time Southern mountaineers. Josh is descended from many of the old-timers Holt learned from in the late 1960s in Lonesome Mountain, N.C. Holt said that for him combining forces with Josh is making a full circle. “Josh is one of the finest musicians in North Carolina and is helping bring the music that is his birthright into the 21st century,� Hold said. “Our show is about folk traditions that are exploding with creative energy and fun.� Holt first met Goforth
David Holt when he was 14 years old and the elder Holt was performing for his middle school. Tickets are the $20 in advance and can be bought via www.kmlt.org or $25 at the door.
MAMMOGRAMS: early detection is key
INMAN: in KM to talk about latest novel From page 1A In “The Governor’s Lady,� Inman focuses his lens on women in politics and the cost of political life. Inman’s character, Cooper Lanier, is a smart, feisty, independent female whose new position as governor forces her into a tumultuous arena and she must learn to follow her instincts and take charge. Cooper Lanier has been surrounded by politics her entire life. Her late father, Cleve Spainhour, was a beloved two-term Southern governor, as was her husband, Pickett Lanier. Now, Cooper is taking office as governor herself, succeeding Pickett as he campaigns for president. But the state is blindsided by a blizzard, and Cooper quickly realizes she is surrounded by leftovers from her husband’s administration and that Pickett intends to manage the state’s affairs from the campaign trail, even if it means undermining her every command.
Cooper is faced with the choice of seizing control or becoming a phony, irrelevant figurehead. “After a professional lifetime around politics and politicians, as both journalist and participant, I wanted to tell a story about how the political arena affects people and [their] values and relationships, and do so through the eyes of characters I care about,� Inman says. “The Governor’s Lady� shows how politics brings out the best and worst in people and how the public

arena affects politicians’ values and relationships. The novel will appeal to those interested in a deeper understanding of the subtexts and complexities of American politics and the growing role of women in the political landscape. Inman said his latest book is about more than politics. “It’s also a motherdaughter story,� he said in an interview last week, adding that he relishes the chance to talk with readers. “I like to have a conversation (about the subject matter)�

The weatherman smiled on Gateway Festival 2013 and the steady stream of festivalgoers at Patriots Park Saturday. “It was a great day,� said City Events Director Ellis Noell. Noell, who starts working months ahead to get the show on the road, said that the fall weather added to the enjoyment of the day. Kids and adults alike enjoyed Patriots Park and all the activities from beginning to end. Rides on the Gateway trolley also took festivalgoers to the Kings Mountain Art Center at the depot and to the Historical Museum. For the first time since the festival’s beginning, the crowd didn’t make the trek to nearby Kings Mountain National Military Park. Because of the government shutdown, events were canceled at KMNMP. “Music, Muskets and Merriment� was the appropriate theme for the day. The festival showcased the music, art and history of Kings Mountain, designated by the National Park Service as the “gateway city� to all three area parks. The “Cute Critters� competition, as always, was a highlight of the morning activities but there was everything to whet the appetite all day plus fresh homegrown vegetables to carry home from the Foothills Farmers Market. Kickoff to the event was a 5K run/walk and proceeds were earmarked for a young student battling life-threatening illness. The mock Revolutionary War battle, cannon fire, and colonial period encampment was a history lesson for newcomers as interpreters brought frontier life in the mid 1700’s to Kings Mountain on October 11, 2013, over 233 years after the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain.

Cherokee Grill welcomes new management team Cynthia Huffman Howard and Michael Henshaw agree that the restaurant business is in their blood and they are bringing longtime expertise in cooking and serving top meals to 238 Cherokee Grill. Rob Bolin, owner of the downtown business, said he is proud to welcome Howard as general manager and Henshaw as kitchen manager. Howard grew up in Kings Mountain, the daughter of the late Ted Huffman who was a former Public Works Director for the City of Kings Mountain. She moved back to her family home in the Dixon Community from St. Augustine, Florida after the death of her husband, Donald Howard, a retired auto dealer.
“I married at 19 but my first job in this area as a student was busing tables at Kelly's Steak House in Ga ffney, SC working for the late Charles and Marie Kelly,'' said Howard. She was in the restaurant business over nine years in Florida. Henshaw, a military brat, was born at Cherry Point and followed his retired Marine Dad in the military but not in the US Marine Corps. He joined Uncle Sam's Army and served nine years. He married Lora Robinson on St. Patrick's Day March 17 and they live in the Crowders Mountain community. Henshaw has been in the restaurant business 19 years and worked in private resorts in Rhode Island and Florida. Marrying a local girl brought
him to the Kings Mountain area. He comes to Kings Mountain from the Charlotte restaurant market. “We will focus on quality and consistency of menus and will be big on hospitality,'' he said. “This homey atmosphere is quite different from other places that I have worked and I love it,'' added Henshaw. “ I am blessed to be back in Kings Mountain. It has been nice to see local people and many people who remember my Dad and our family,'' said Howard. Mrs. Howard will soon earn her B. S. degree from Gardner-Webb University. “They will make a great team,'' said Bolin.
Rise & Shine breakfast offers tips for merchants Local merchants and employees attending the October Rise & Shine breakfast picked up several tips on how to keep your employees, money and merchandise safe during the holiday season, and in this uncertain economy. 238 Cherokee Street hosted the quarterly breakfast, organized by the Main Street Advisory Board Oct. 8. Speakers were Sharon Stack, head librarian at Mauney Memorial Library, and Det. Lisa Proctor and Chief Melvin Proctor of the Kings Mountain Police Dept. Stack distributed a handout and talked on how to handle trouble in the workplace, how to keep your employees and customers safe. All businesses sell customer service and need to set high standards in the business. She discussed handling your emotions; your response to the customer’s anger; and helping them solve the problem they perceive. Det. Proctor stressed that your mindset and presence will dictate a troublemaker’s response most times. If you appear confident and ‘in
charge’ you will keep control of the situation. And that self-defense training is always beneficial to those who work alone or late at night, or in poorly lit areas. The police department offers classes. “Walk with confidencebe fully aware of your surroundings, and look in charge!” she stressed. She advised to make eye contact with patrons and pay attention to their appearance (comes in handy for identifying them later if needed). This also flatters patrons and makes them feel wanted. Also to watch for people working in teams: one will keep you occupied while the other scopes out the merchandise. And if you use a pen to check for counterfeit bills keep the ink fresh so you don’t get false readings. Proctor encouraged the group to call for assistance any time you feel the customer might not be on the up and up. They would rather come by and check on your safety than respond to an attack. The PD also provides late night escorts to parking lots and banks, and will drive by your business to

Some other good tips included– -making bank deposits during the day at varying times, and to keep your banking routine as secret at possible. -alert each other to known con games in the area. -don’t post on social
media when you will be gone. -never buy items unseen. -never give person security information over the phone. The Chief noted in closing that the best business safety resource is each other; stay in contact and network. “You know more than criminals do so use that knowledge to your advantage.”
Survey reveals teens’ access to alcohol Can high school students buy alcohol in Cleveland County? Four hundred freshmen in the county schools said “yes” in a recent survey conducted by the Cleveland County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition. The survey further pointed out that 39.5% of students agreed that youth use fake Ids to purchase alcohol and 28% were aware of stores in the county that sell alcohol to customers under age 21. Alcohol, teenagers say, is easy to get,. To kick off an underage drinking prevention initiative, the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition in partner-
ship with the Cleveland County Health Department, Alliance for Health and local law enforcement, hosted training for law enforcement officers and other community stakeholders to discuss environmental and policy change strategies to prevent underage drinking. Participants learned more on the prevalence of underage drinking in Cleveland County, why it's such a critical issue to address, and what specific strategies have been proven effective in helping to prevent it. What they decided was a more proactive approach to address the issue of underage drinking in Cleveland County. A three hour training session was held on Monday at the Don Gibson Theatre in Shelby, the first piece of a comprehensive approach to address the problem.
Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan and Buncombe County Lt. Randy Sorrels led the session. Leaders focused on law enforcement’s role in preventing underage drinking, the benefits of coalition work and concrete examples of effective environmental prevention strategies for law enforcement. The reported ease of access to alcohol was identified as one of the leading root causes of underage drinking in Cleveland County. Speakers noted that alcohol continues to be the most commonly used and abused substance by young people nationwide and here in Cleveland County. In 2012, a Pride survey revealed that 18.8% of 9th grade students and 35% of 12th grade students reported drinking alcohol in a 30 day period.

Early sworn to Grover Town Board
GROVER - Angelia Early was sworn in last week as the third woman on Grover Town Board and the first African American to serve. Mayor J. D. Ledford administered the oath of office at the regular October meeting of the five-member board. Early was elected to fill the unexpired term of Roy Dyer. Wife of Eugene Early, she has worked in the Materials department of Freightliner in Gaffney, SC for 16 years. The family includes two children, Larie (Mrs.
Ray Shawn) Carthen and Justin Early and two grandsons, Ashtin Early and Christian Carthen. The Earlys are active in Concord Baptist Church in Gaffney, SC. Early said she decided to throw her hat in the political ring to give back to the town and to push for more new business, particularly along Main Street where businesses closed. “I want us to see more positive things for our town,'' she said. Other members of the board are Jackie Bennett, Cindy O'Brien and Bill Willis.

Mountaineers, Hilltoppers renew rivalry Friday at R-S
Patriots knock off Lincolnton, throw division into 3-way tie Lincolnton built a 28-12 second quarter lead and appeared to be heading toward its fifth straight victory in a Tri-County Middle School football game with Kings Mountain Wednesday at Kings Mountain’s John Gamble Stadium. But the host Patriots scored on their final possession of the first half as well as their first possession of the second half, and came fighting back for a 38-36 win to throw the Eastern Division lead into a three-way tie between the Patriots, Lincolnton and East Lincoln. Kings Mountain travels to Burns today for its final regular season game. A victory would assure the Patriots of at least a share of the Eastern Division title, but if the race ends in a three-way tie it would be up to a coin toss or drawing to determine the two Eastern Division representatives in the upcoming Tri-County championship series. The Patriots are the defending Tri-County champions, having beaten Crest and Shelby in last year’s playoffs. Kings Mountain, trailing 28-12 after getting early Hunter Blanton touchdown passes of 62 and 18 yards to Mike Toms and Xavier Bell, respectively, turned the momentum after fumbling away a potential scoring drive with 56 seconds left in the half. Lincolnton was running the clock out but fumbled on a third down play with no time remaining. Kings Mountain’s Landry Crawford scooped up the ball at the 35 yard line and ran untouched down the KM sideline for a touchdown. Mike Collins ran a two-point conversion and the Patriots went into intermission See Patriots, 4B
Kings Mountain freshman quarterback Jake Merchant runs ball to five yard line on Mountaineers’ opening possession Friday against Crest. KM missed a field goal attempt and Crest rolled to a 43-7 victory.
Quick Crest too much for young Mountaineers Kings Mountain failed to capitalize on two early scoring opportunities and Crest reached the end zone on its next five possessions en route to a 43-7 victory over the Mountaineers Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers drove to the Crest five on the game’s opening possessions before a couple of costly penalties set them back and they missed a field goal try. After holding the Chargers to three and out, the Mountaineers drove back to the Crest ten, but fum-
bled. Three plays later the Chargers’ Jalin Moore broke a 90-yard touchdown run and the rout was on. The visitors posted their fourth straight SMAC victory to keep pace with county rivals Burns and Shelby for the SMAC championship. The Mountaineers suffered their sixth straight loss after opening their season with back-to-back non-conference wins over Hunter Huss and East Gaston. Kings Mountain gained 111 of its 186 yards rushing on its first two See Quick, 4B
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers hope to break a six-game losing streak and claim their first SMAC victory Friday night when they travel to R-S Central to renew a rivalry that ended with realignment after the 2008 season. The Mountaineers and Hilltoppers were longtime members of the old Western 2A and Southwestern 3A conferences and have had some epic battles over the years. Both need a win Friday to get into contention for a state playoff berth. The Mountaineers haven’t won since the month of August and have seen their record slip to 0-5 in the SMAC and 2-6 overall. R-S is 1-3 and 2-4. KM’s six-game losing streak is the school’s longest since 1984 when the Mountaineers dropped their last six games en route to a 1-9 record. That team was hard hit by injuries as well. The young men that were forced into starting duty turned out to be the stars the next two seasons when the Mountaineers went deep into the state playoffs and turned out several players that went on to play Division I football. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd knows the experience gained by young players this year is going to be valuable in the future, but he’s also hoping the wins will start coming this week. R-S Central, which won its first SMAC game last week with a 13-7 win over a very good Chase team, provides a strong test but one the Mountaineers can pass if they play up to their potential. “They look good,� Lloyd said of the Hilltoppers who are 2-4 overall. “They have good speed and a lot of experience.� See Mountaineers, 4B
KM kickers edge Ironmen Kings Mountain overcame an early 1-0 deficit to defeat Cherryville 2-1 in a non-conference soccer game Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium. The visiting Ironmen shot out of the starting gate with a bang as they put the ball in the back of the Mountaineer net barely four minutes into the match. The Mountaineers looked very sluggish as they were playing their third match in four

QUICK: Crest too much for young Mountaineers From Page 1B drives. Forty-five of their remaining 75 rushing yards came on their last possession of the game when freshman quarterback Darren Burns scored from a yard out to cap an 80-yard drive that was aided by two 15-yard personal foul penalties against the Chargers. “We came out pretty good,� said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “We played good (on the first two drives), but when we fumbled the tide turned quick.� Moore, the SMAC’s leading rusher, had a field day gaining 227 yards on only ten rushing attempts. He had three more touchdowns on runs of 42, four and 12 yards. The Chargers, who had 438 yards of total offense, rolled to a 33-0 halftime lead, moved to 40-0 on their first possession of the second half and added a fourth period field goal to build a 43-0 lead. Their five touchdowns took only a combined total of 18 plays. The Mountaineers had used good running from freshman quarterback Jake Merchant and junior running back Tico Crocker to control the clock for 21 plays, and except for Crest’s three and out on its first possession, they consumed the entire first period. With better breaks early the Mountaineers could have had a two touchdown lead before Crest gained its second possession. “We did good things early,� said Coach Lloyd. “Things didn’t work out for us but we got a lot of young kids in the game. We’re just going to go back to doing whatever we can to get some (injured) guys back and be ready for these last three games.� Kings Mountain probably lost the services of freshman running back Darian McClain after he suffered his second concussion in three weeks. Several other players sat out again, including starting quarterback Brandon Bell, Chance Frederick, Dre Bell and Xavier Johnson. “Hopefully, Brandon will be ready to play this Friday,� Lloyd said. “Xavier is practicing a little bit. He may not play Friday night but it’s looking okay that he could be with us after that.�
PATRIOTS: knock off Lincolnton, throw division into 3-way tie From Page 1B trailing by only 28-20. The Patriots pulled an onside kick to start the second half, and recovered it at the Lincolnton 47. Collins covered the 47 yards in two plays, the second resulting in a 16 yard touchdown run. Blanton hit Toms with a two-point conversion pass to tie the game. “Our defense really played well in the second half, holding Lincolnton to only eight points,� said Patriots coach Tim Gunn. “I am really proud of the effort of this team and excited about the no quit attitude we played with.� The turning point oc-
curred with 1:35 left in the third period after Lincolnton intercepted a KM pass at the Wildcats’ three yard line. On first down, Jerdon Pressley delivered a big hit on the Lincolnton running back in the end zone and Christopher Brittain joined in to record a safety, giving KM a 30-28 lead it would never relinquish. A two-point conversion catch by Toms following a six-yard touchdown run by Collins with 5:46 remaining gave the Patriots a 10-point cushion at 38-28, meaning Lincolnton would have to score twice to keep its unbeaten record intact. The Wildcats did show signs of a comeback, going
50 yards in seven plays to score on a 3-yard Littlejohn touchdown pass and then tacking on a two-point conversion run by Littlejohn to cut the margin to 38-36. But the Wildcats would not get the ball back. The Patriots kept the ball on the ground and Lincolnton was forced the use its remaining timeouts. Lincolnton called its final timeout with 1:38 left and KM facing a fourth and seven at midfield. Blanton got good blocking off the right side and got the seven yards for a first down, then ran the remaining time off the clock by taking a knee three times.
KM: kickers edge Ironmen From Page 1B opening seven minutes of the second period to take the lead. We had two very close scoring opportunities in the first two and a half minutes before Isaiah Cole headed hoe a perfectly placed corner kick from senior co-captain Cameron Hord.� Two and a half minutes later, Bryan Lysek headed home a goal after a super long throw-in from Cole. The Mountaineers let up and the Ironmen began to string some passes together and get good looks at the
KM goal. “Hunter Presnell really stepped up in goal for us in the second half and quieted the visitors down as they attempted to tie the match,� Potter said. The Mountaineers had several chances to put an insurance point on the board but were turned back each time. Kings Mountain fell to Chase 4-1 in a SMAC soccer game Wednesday night at Chase. The Mountaineers started strong by taking a 1-0 lead at the 9-minute mark. Bryan
Lysek set up Weston Harmon with a perfect pass and Harmon blasted a low shot just inside the far post for the goal. Chase battled back and tied the score with just minutes remaining in the half. The second half saw the Trojans apply a tremendous amount of pressure on the Mountaineer defense. KM goalkeepers Jared Ledford and Hunter Presnell each made some super saves to keep the match close until the Trojans put the victory away.

win,� Lloyd said. “That’s a concern.� The Hilltoppers have two experienced quarterbacks, a big line and good skill people. Most of them are seniors and three-year varsity players. Lloyd said they operate out of a 4-4 defense and “try to force you to throw the ball.� Lloyd is hopeful he will have his starting quarterback, junior Brandon Bell, back this week. Bell had 1,445 yards total offense (997 passing and 448 rushing) when he went he left

the lineup in the Shelby game after playing the previous two games with a hurt shoulder. He has been on the sidelines, but not in uniform, the last two weeks when the Mountaineers fell to Draughn and Crest. “The key for us will be to get Bell back,� Lloyd said. “We have to be able to throw the ball. With our style of offense we have to have a good mix of run and pass. “We also have to tackle better,� he noted, “and we’ve got to have some rhythm offensively.� The Mountaineers’ starting running back, freshman Darian McClain, will definitely be out of action this week and probably for the rest of the season. Lloyd said the Mountaineers will try to take up the slack with Tico Crocker, Jordan Ford and Jair McCluney sharing the running load. McCluney was called up from the JV team last week and did a good job on KM’s fourth quarter touchdown drive against Crest.

mired by Asian artists. The boldly physical use of paint in the cascade and trees give the image a sense of presence that makes it hard to resist. Like Asian paintings of “mountains and water', the classical landscape of China and Japan, the painting invites us to ascend, rather than stand apart and simply read the
VALERIE KRAMER First place Thirty-two local artists entered over 70 works in the second annual “Gateways to the South� art competition and exhibit and awards were presented Saturday during the Gateway Festival by the Southern Arts Society ( at the depot) in Kings Mountain. Michael Grady, professor of studio art at Appalachian State University at Boone, selected first, second and third place awards along with three merit awards. Featured prominently in the free exhibit, on display through Nov. 15 during gallery and gift shop hours Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.- are landscapes, historical sites, and the people and places that reflect our Southern history and culture. Valarie Pinkerton Kramer's oil painting, Charleston Morning, took the first prize. Commented Mr. Grady: “This painting, clearly taken from a photographic image goes far beyond the photographic vision. The artist makes excellent use of color harmonics – unexpected colors found in the edges and transitions of the composition that make the image resonate like a grand piano, or a fine wine. The visual dynamism of the composition supports the use of color to establish a strong sense of place. Like Charleston, this painting exudes a sense of
refinement, excitement,elegance, and adventure. It is both intimate and arresting , fun and sensuous. Charleston Morning reminds me of the soft breezes and the elegance of first encounters with the city as a teenager.� Second place went to Hal Bryant for his photograph “Nail Head.� Said Grady, “Although this piece is small and intimate, I found as I walked through the gallery I couldn't stop looking at it. Its mysterious darkness and the nearly meditative repetition of the nail heads formed a grid o f engagement,a vague sense of anxiety and a profound visual elegance all at the same moment. This is a complex work, completed using digital manipulation of ( assume) several photographic images. It captures the sense of the mysterious secrets that Southerners often keep. Nail Head speaks to a sense of beauty and tension that often makes life difficult, but makes art compelling and powerful.� Third place went to Denise Bost for her oil painting “Shaded Cascade.� Said Grady, The vertical format of this bold and dramatic piece reminds me of Chinese landscape painting. Bolder and more visually powerful than most East Asian art, this piece still captures the sense of flow and harmony long ad-
image. As the downward force of the cascade is accentuated with strongly painted gestures, our gaze enters the painting in the calm and peaceful foreground and rises to the patch of blue sky in the upper left corner. Shaded merit awards went to Bonita Lowe, Ada Offerdahl and Gary Shelley.
