County Commissioners City meets with stakeholders decline opportunity to on Streetscape plan purchase Central School

By Loretta Cozart

By Loretta Cozart During the Cleveland County Commissioner’s meeting on Tuesday, October 19, it was decided to decline the offer by Cleveland County School Board to purchase Central School.

Commissioners are given the first right of refusal on surplus school property.

County staff decided they had no need of the property, so their recommendation was to decline to purchase. By doing so, Cleveland County Schools

can now proceed with their plans to sell the property.

There was no discussion and Commissioner Ronnie Whetstine made the motion not to purchase the property. The vote was unanimous.

On Monday, October 18, Assistant City Manager Nick Hendricks and consultant Richard Flowe of NFocus, Inc., along with members of the city’s staff and council members, met with stakeholders on the patio of 133 West regarding the downtown Streetscape plan.

In February’s city council meeting, the $1.5M plan was approved with plans for the first phase of the project to be completed by November.

Due to a variety of challenges, the Streetscape project was pushed off several times and, aside from removing the trees

along Battleground Avenue and Mountain Street, few outward signs can be seen. However, the task of slip-lining of pipes along both streets in the downtown core has been completed.

With winter coming, Hendricks explained that the project has now been divided into three sections: Phase IIA focuses on Mountain Street, Phase IIB includes Battleground Avenue, and Phase III concentrates on Railroad Avenue.

By dividing the project into three sections, work on nonstate roads can move forward even if there are delays on Battleground Avenue.

Stumps along Battleground Avenue will be

ground down in the coming week and the city will start the bid process by advertising in the Herald and on the city’s website. Once contractors are chosen, the work will begin in the spring as soon as weather permits.

The goal is to have received bids and chosen contractors by the city council in the December. “We hope to have everything ready to go so the project on Mountain Street can be completed in 90 to 120 days once construction starts,” Nick Hendricks told the group. Due to current supply chain issues, it is the city’s hope that materials can be ordered early in anticipation of project procurement.

NC HOPE Program marks first year and more than a half-billion in rent and utility awards The N.C. Housing Opportunities and Prevention of Evictions (HOPE) Program marked its Oct. 15 one-year anniversary with more than a half-billion dollars in pandemic relief funds awarded to North Carolina landlords and utility companies on behalf of vulnerable families. In total, HOPE has awarded $520.2 million to 135,213 families with more than $461 million of that amount already paid to landlords and utility providers across the state. The HOPE Program continues to rank #2 in the nation for number of households served, while North Carolina overall ranks #6 for spending of federal Emergency Rental Assistance money. The HOPE Program supports housing stability during the pandemic by preventing evictions and utility service disconnections.

“In its first year, the HOPE Program has helped more than 135,000 North Carolina families stay safe and warm in their homes during the pandemic,” said Governor Roy Cooper.

“HOPE will continue to pay landlords and utility companies to keep low-income renters in their homes with the lights on as we recover in the months ahead.”

In addition to supporting safe housing during the pandemic, the HOPE Program

has provided an economic boost to landlords who experienced financial setbacks due to COVID-19. During the second phase of HOPE that began May 17, the program has mailed checks to 30,727 landlords and more than 5,500 landlords have contacted HOPE to refer tenants. The program continues to accept landlord referrals of tenants struggling to pay rent due to the pandemic. Landlords may submit tenant names and contact information through the HOPE Program website or by contacting the HOPE Call Center at 888-9ASK-HOPE (888-927-5467). A program specialist will then follow up with the tenant to help start the application process.

HOPE is still accepting applications for rent and utility bill assistance from low-income renters in 88 counties. Applicants can apply online at HOPE.NC.gov or call 888-9ASK-HOPE (888927-5467) Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both English- and Spanish-speaking representatives are available to assist callers.

The HOPE Program is managed by the N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency, a division of the Department of Public Safety. To learn more, visit HOPE.NC.gov.

Catawba Two Kings Casino raises $10,000 for local organization assisting people with disabilities Catawba Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain, N.C. – through its new and ongoing Share Change program – has raised $10,000 for the Cleveland County Fund for Children and Adults with Disabilities.

The casino, which features 500 slot machines in a pre-launch temporary facility, launched the Share Change program several weeks after its July 1 opening. The proceeds for the Cleveland County Fund for Children and Adults with Disabilities were raised through Sept.

30. Casino patrons donated the remaining change on slot vouchers, dropping them in wishing wells and large ticket barrels located on the casino floor.

The Share Change program represents the Catawba Nation’s first charitable ini-

tiative with the new casino.

New charitable recipients will be designated every three months, with two organizations – Cleveland County Hospice and the Cleveland County Partnership for Children – set to receive funds raised this month through Dec. 31.

“The Catawba Nation and our Catawba Two Kings Casino are committed to making a positive change in our local communities, and the Share Change program is a way for us to begin fulfilling that commitment,” Catawba Assistant Chief Jason Harris said. “We thank our casino patrons for their generosity and are thrilled to provide these funds to such a worthy cause as assisting adults and children with disabilities.”

The fund, a service of the Junior Charity League of

Shelby, provides emergency financial assistance to individuals and families living with a disability. One example of how this fund helps is to provide orthopedic equipment to adults and children who may be financially challenged and unable to obtain these necessities.

The Junior Charity League of Shelby was established in 1934 as a non-profit organization with its primary purpose to raise funds to provide necessaries such as clothing, fuel, food, medications, or any other needs that arise for the children and citizens of Cleveland County.

“On behalf of the Junior Charity League of Shelby, we would like to thank Catawba Two Kings Casino patrons for their donations,” league representative Jennifer Reynolds said. “With these funds,

Dwayne Rogers (second from right), a council member on the Catawba Nation Executive Committee, presents a check for $10,000 to Jennifer Reynolds (center) of the Junior League of Shelby for the Cleveland County Fund for Children and Adults with Disabilities. The funds were raised by the Catawba Two Kings Casino from patron donations. At the Oct. 18 presentation were (L-R) Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority; Nicole Elmore, vice president of community impact for the United Way of Cleveland County; Reynolds; Rogers; and Catawba Assistant Chief Jason Harris.

Photo provided we will work with the United Way of Cleveland County to

help children and adults with disabilities who are in need within our community. Thank you for selecting the fund and for caring for the people of Cleveland County.”

Catawba Nation and Catawba Two Kings Casino leaders anticipate that the Share Change program will grow as the casino grows.

Construction work began in September to add an addi-

tional 500 gaming machines to the pre-launch facility by year’s end.

“With the expansion, our hope is that we will be able to provide even more for area charitable organizations as the number of casino patrons grows and as a result of their continuing generosity,” said Mike Ulizio, president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority.

Pink Hat Luncheon

By Loretta Cozart

A few years ago, Chief Lisa Proctor attended the Pink Hat Luncheon with her mom. Chief Proctor is a breast cancer survivor who often shares her story with the community to encourage women to get mammograms and protect themselves against breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month launched in October 1985 encouraging women to get mammograms and raise money for breast cancer research.

“Breast cancer death rates declined 40% from 1989 to 2016 among women. The progress is attributed to improvements in early detection,” according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. While rates have declined, it still claims thousands of women each year.

To protect yourself, it is good to know the statistics about breast cancer and what you can do to protect yourself from the disease. Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms.

Each year in the United States, about 255,000 women get breast cancer and 42,000 women die from the disease.

Chief Lisa Proctor is pictured with her mother at the Pink Hat Luncheon several years ago.

Photo provided Men also get breast cancer, but it is not very common.

About 1 out of every 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the United States is found in a man. Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or older,

but breast cancer also affects younger women.

Check with your doctor to schedule your mammogram today. It only takes an hour of your day and early detection could save your life.

USDA disaster declarations granted for eighteen western North Carolina counties United States Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack has granted North Carolina’s request for a primary county disaster designation for twelve North Carolina counties following excessive rain and flooding from Tropical Storm Fred that occurred from August 15 through August 17, 2021. Six additional counties were also named as contiguous disaster counties.

“Tropical Storm Fred devastated many Western North Carolina communities and I’m grateful for this additional support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that will help farmers and families get back on their

feet,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “We will continue to work to help North Carolinians in impacted areas have the resources they need to recover from this disaster.”

The Department of Agriculture designation makes farm operators in both primary and contiguous counties eligible to be considered for certain assistance including emergency loans from the FSA, provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for emergency loans.

Residents of these counties may apply for FSA emergency loans online and find

The disaster declarations cover the primary counties of Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, McDowell, Macon, Madison, Mitchell, Transylvania and Yancey counties and the contiguous counties of Avery, Burke, Graham, Polk, Rutherford, and Swain counties.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Fred dumped several inches of rain across western North Carolina, resulting in devastating flooding and landslides. Six deaths were attributed to the storm that caused record-setting floods along the Pigeon River.

CLT’s “Usher”: A totally teen comedy The works of Edgar Allan Poe are bone-chilling, dark, depressing – nevermore, quoth the raven!

This skillful Cherryville Little Theatre adaptation takes a grand mix of Poe’s writing and characters and weaves them together into a teen-savvy comedy loosely based on “The Fall of the House of Usher” but with more laughs and a much brighter ending.

Here’s the plot: After the bus breaks down on a dark and stormy night, a bunch of high school students on a field trip are forced to spend the night in the spooky house of Usher.

But they’re not alone! The spirits of Usher ancestors haunt the halls, cursed to stay trapped in the house forever, unless someone helps the last surviving Usher find the will to truly live life.

Along with a healthy dose of entertaining teen drama, “Usher” touches on some weighty issues that haunt the nightmares of most teens – isolation, loneliness, suicide, and peer pressure.

But lighten up, it’s a comedy after all!

With characters drawn from classics such as “The Cask of Amontillado”,

Local ghost stories, myths, and legends for the season This Sunday, October 31, Kings Mountain residents will hear the rustling, patter, and knocking of little ghosts and goblins as Halloween descends once again upon the halls of our city. While these spirited trick-er-treat visitors mean no harm as they issue their pleas for trinkets and tasty delights, there is a history of more disconcerting tales of things more sinister hovering nearby.

Our area has a rich history of well-known spooky ghost stories, scary occurrences, and strange phenomenon that have been witnessed by many and suffered by a sad select few.

Here, we recount the some to the legendary tales from our area and offer a warning to those who may disregard these warnings.

The Journey to the Battle Never Ends – Determined

ut Ask Abo

specters are often seen in our own Kings Mountain National Military Park. A major turning point in the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Kings Mountain was a bloody, hard-fought engagement resulting in the deaths of numerous patriot soldiers, and British loyalists alike.

At times, the faint spirits of these men can be seen as they eerily ride their horses along the Old Colonial Road leading between Charlotte and the mountain to meet their destinies on the battlefield.

Souls Rising from Brown Mountain – Near the Pisgah Forest in Burke County, when the conditions are right, mysterious green orbs can be seen floating up from the mountain, hover around fifteen feet, then suddenly disappear into the night. This unsettling

event appears so often that hundreds have witnessed and even photographed the lights. “The Legend of Brown Mountain” country song by Scott Wiseman and sang by Lulu Belle, immortalized the phenomenon as it rose to the top of the charts in the 1950s. It is speculated that the lights are unsettled souls from Cherokee and Catawba women who are searching for their long-lost husbands who could not be found after a great battle.

Others say the lights echo those of lanterns used by 19th Century search party trying to find a missing murdered women from the area who was never found.

Happy HALLOWEEN This yard at the 500 block of West Gold St. has a very creative “Halloween” display. The family of skeletons are interestingly posed in different activities every day. The photos were submitted by Reg Alexander. He has nicknamed the family of skeletons the ‘Bone Family’.

Several of his friends detour on their way to town just to see what the ‘Bone Family’ is up to and suggested they should be in the Herald.

A Dreadful Place There is a place that most people don’t enjoy talking about, yet Jesus talked about this place 70 times and it’s men- DANYALE PATTERSON tioned in the New Testament 162 times.

It is a place absent of love, peace, and joy, and filled with never-ending, fiery torment, darkness, and pain. According to Matthew 25:41, it was created for the devil and his crew.

This dreadful place is called “Hell”. Despite the horrors of hell, many people choose to

go there of their own free will.

Jesus states in Matthew 7:13 (NLT), “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.”

Which Way Are You Headed?

Attending a church doesn’t make you a disciple of Jesus, no more than sitting in a car garage would make you a vehicle. By the way, I am not saying don’t go to a local church. The point here is that God desires a dedicated heart toward him.

He is not impressed with religious activities that are missing an obedient and yielded life. In Luke 6:46 (NLT) Jesus asks,

Wednesday, October 27, 2021

(4th & Final Part of “Prepared for Eternity” Series)

“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?” Ponder on the following questions to help you identify if you are headed in the right direction: Do you have a surrendered heart to Jesus Christ that believes and strives to obey the Bible?

Do you have godly sorrow for your mistakes, repent of your sins, and yield to God’s will even when it’s difficult?

Do you strive to love God with everything within you?

The Great Throne According to Revelation 20:11-15, one day everyone will stand before God and be judged. When God opens up the movie curtains of your life

and reveals every unholy or disobedient thought, word, and action of your life, it will be too late to escape the penalty for sin. But there is hope! You can become born again right now through repenting of your sins, believing in the sacrificial offering of Christ (his death, burial, and resurrection), and receiving him as Lord and Savior. Romans 6:23 (ESV) says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Allow him to take the reins of your life. You won’t regret it, and you will be prepared for eternity!

PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father I praise you as the righteous judge and lawgiver.

I could never stand before you on my own merit. I am sin-infected and sin-contaminated.

My best efforts are like greasestained rags. Without Jesus, I am headed in the wrong direction. Please, forgive me of my sins and hidden faults. Search my heart and take away anything that stands between you and me. Thank you for sending Jesus to take the penalty of sin for me. I choose to surrender to Christ. I believe and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord.

I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit. I want to be with you basking in your love and Presence, now and throughout eternity. In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.”

Helen Williams Bullock celebrated 104th birthday

By Loretta Cozart Helen Williams Bullock celebrated her 104th birthday on Monday, October 25. Most who know Helen are aware that she and her husband, Welford Bullock, returned to Kings Mountain to care for her sister, Maud William’s McGill, when she became ill and needed someone to care for her.

Readers might even know that that Helen and Welford lived in his hometown of Seaboard, NC for most of their adult lives. Earlier this month, one of Helen’s former students from Seaboard, Carol M. Hartline, reached out to share details of their life in that community so people in Kings Mountain would know a little more about her life there. This is Carol’s story.

“Helen Williams attended WC-UNC, later called Women's College of Greensboro.

After graduation from college, she taught at Seaboard High School. Her main subject was Home Economics.”

“While living there, Helen became acquainted with Welford Bullock of Seaboard.

During the war years, Helen enlisted in the Women's Army Corps (WAC). Welford, like most young men, was either drafted or enlisted.

In 1944, they were married in Cleveland County, North Carolina.”

“Welford’s brothers, at least three of them, P. A. (as we knew him), Reese, and Welford, married ladies who were schoolteachers. I'm not sure if they all met when the ladies moved to Seaboard to teach, but this seemed to be a good place for young female teachers to meet nice fellows to marry,” she shared.

“Welford eventually opened a gas station on Railroad Street and Helen returned to teaching. Along

Helen Bullock celebrated her 104 birthday on October 25.

Helen Bullock teaching with their work, they were both active in the Seaboard community and at Seaboard Baptist Church. Helen sang a sweet alto and was in the choir for many years. She also taught Sunday School.”

Before teaching Carol, Helen also taught Carol’s mother, Irma Foster Moore, and her aunt, Janie Foster.

They graduated Seaboard High School in 1948. “When I entered high school, it was my turn to be her student. She taught me Biology, Typing and Home Economics.”

“During our second year of Home Economics, our project was to make a suit. I remember quite well how she stayed late several days to help me finish mine. She told

my mother I did very nice work, but it took me a long time to finish a garment,” she wrote.

“Mrs. Bullock was also the advisor for the Seaboard High School chapter of the National Beta Club. I greatly enjoyed being a member and we had two great trips to Raleigh and one to Asheville for the annual conferences.”

“By 1986, the school had been closed for some time and Helen had retired from teaching. She never had children of her own, but she was part of the ‘village’ of Seaboard that helped bring up a lot of Seaboard kids.”

“My mother and Janie were both Helen's students when she first came to Seaboard to teach, before she served in the military and got married. It's amazing to me that she outlived both and so many of her students. She is the only staff member or

teacher from our school who is still living. She has outlived many her students, including seven members of my class, the class of 1964. We only had seventeen students in our class when we graduated.”

Helen Williams Bullock has enjoyed an amazing life.

She grew up on a farm in Kings Mountain, witnessed the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain, attended Central School when it burned and graduated just after the school reopened in 1937, served in the Women’s Army Corps and worked in intelligence during D-Day. After Welford passed away in 2003, Helen moved to White Oak Manor. She has seen a lot in her 104-years, not the least of which was educating a community of children in a little town called Seaboard in Northampton County, NC.

Sheriff Norman offers tips Catawbas and the for a safe Halloween revolutionary war

Soon our streets will be scattered with little ghosts, goblins, and witches trick-or-treating this Halloween. “Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment and following some common sense practices can keep events safer ALAN NORMAN and more fun,” said Sheriff Nor- Cleveland County Sheriff man of Cleveland County.

The Sheriff reminds all Cleveland County residents to follow these safety tips: COVID-19: • Follow State and County health policies.

• Limit participating in traditional trickor-treating where treats are handed to children who go door to door.

• Halloween costume masks are not suitable to provide COVID-19 protection.

• Promote the use of hand sanitizer by trick-or-treaters and their families.

• Announce if there are any curfews in place.

• Encourage social distancing.

• Decline having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots.

• Do not attend crowded costume parties held indoors.

• Avoid going to an indoor haunted house where people may be crowded together and screaming.

• Discourage going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household.

PARENTS: • Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for children under age 12.

• Check the sex offender registry at www. ncdoj.gov when planning your child’s trickor-treat route. You can view maps that pinpoint registered offenders’ addresses in your neighborhood and sign up to get email alerts when an offender moves nearby.

• Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow. Know the names of older children's companions.

• Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route.

• Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are welllit and never to enter a stranger's home.

• Establish a return time.

• Tell your youngsters not to eat any treats until they return home.

• Review all appropriate trick-or-treat safety precautions, including pedestrian/traffic safety rules.

• All children need to know their home telephone number and how to call 9-1-1 in case of emergency.

• Pin a slip of paper with the child's name, address, and telephone number inside a pocket in case the youngster gets separated from the group.

COSTUME DESIGN: • Only fire-retardant materials should be used for costumes.

• Costumes should be loose so warm

SEASON From Page 5A spring water rising from the ground or paddle the French Broad River while enjoying the pleasing mountain countryside. The spring water were considered sacred by Native Americans due to its proximity to Paint Rock, a religious site of the local Cherokees. But, when visitors take a drip in the hot springs water, many claim that a Cherokee appears beside them in the soaking tub. The area is also considered to be cursed as not one, but two different resort hotels built in the area burned down under questionable circumstances in the 1800s.

Dancing with the Devil – Within ten miles of Siler City in Chatham County, it is rumored that evil spirits return the same 40-foot plot of land to dance and haunt the area. Nothing will grow

clothes can be worn underneath.

• Costumes should not be so long that they are a tripping hazard.

• Make sure that shoes fit well to prevent trips and falls.

• If children are allowed out after dark, outfits should be made with light colored materials. Strips of retro-reflective tape should be used to make children visible.

MOTORISTS: • Watch for children darting out from between parked cars.

• Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.

• Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.

• At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing.

FACE DESIGN: • When buying special Halloween makeup, check for packages containing ingredients that are labeled "Made with U.S. Approved Color Additives," "Laboratory Tested," "Meets Federal Standards for Cosmetics," or "Non-Toxic." Follow manufacturer's instruction for application.

ACCESSORIES: • Knives, swords, and other accessories should be made from cardboard or flexible materials. Do not allow children to carry sharp objects.

• Bags or sacks carried by youngsters should be light-colored or trimmed with retro-reflective tape if children are allowed out after dark.

• Carrying flashlights with fresh batteries will help children see better and be seen more clearly.

WHILE TRICK-OR-TREATING: • Do not enter homes or apartments without adult supervision.

• Walk; do not run, from house to house.

Do not cross yards and lawns where unseen objects or the uneven terrain can present tripping hazards.

• Walk on sidewalks, not in the street.

• Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic, if there are no sidewalks.

TREATS: • Give children an early meal before going out.

• Insist that treats be brought home for inspection before anything is eaten.

• Wash fruit and slice it into small pieces.

• Throw away any candy that is unwrapped or partially wrapped or has a strange odor, color, or texture.

HOMEOWNERS/DECORATIONS: • Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flame.

• Remove obstacles from lawns, steps, and porches when expecting trick-or-treaters.

• Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from curtains, decorations, and other combustibles that could catch fire.

• Do not leave your house unattended.

Halloween is a fun time in Cleveland County,” Sheriff Norman concluded, "but let’s make it a safe time as well. The major dangers are not from witches or spirits but rather from falls and pedestrian/car crashes."

on the Devil’s Tramping Ground. If an item of nearly any kind is carefully placed within the circle, it is always found missing, or tossed far away the next morning.

The Locomotive Disaster that Cannot be Avoided - A train wreck in Iredell County in August of 1891 was a real-life tragedy that some say is repeated each year. Traveling far too fast for the conditions and the curve of the tracks the Western Carolina Railroad train jumped the tracks of Bostain’s Bridge spanning Third Creek and plummeted down a 60-foot chasm claiming 23 souls in the disaster. On the anniversary of the wreck, a lonely phantom seems to return to the grisly scene of the accident, waving his lantern light along the path of tracks giving a warning to the train that was never seen. A terrible crash, the screams and groans of the passengers, and a fran-

tic whistle from the doomed locomotive may sometimes be heard as the souls of the unfortunate travelers relive the disaster each year.

An Unwanted Guest Checks In – If you are ever issued a key to room 545 during your overnight stay at Asheville’s historic Grove Park Inn, you might not experience the sound sleep that you are expecting. Perhaps scorned by her lover, a beautiful young debutante tragically slipped and fell to her death from the hotel’s 5th-floor overlook. On regular intervals, guests innocently report encountering a young woman dressed in a pink gown, or perhaps surrounded in a soft pink glow. The kind, fun-loving spirit does not appear to be shy, and she is often very friendly to the guests, especially children, as well as employees of the inn. Visitors don’t often realize the woman is a specter

By Loretta Cozart Part One Most folks in Kings Mountain are familiar with the history of the Battle of Kings Mountain, for which the town took its name. The battle occurred just eight miles south of the city.

Some citizens descend from those patriots who fought.

And new history reveals a much more active role in this battle by local patriots who marched as far as the Overmountain Men just to fight in their own backyard.

In 2016, Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution honored three proven black patriots who also partook in this historic battle.

We know that Native Americans also fought in the battle of Kings Mountain, as Lyman Draper notes in his book, “Kings Mountain and Its Heroes.”

Last week, The Catawba Post newsletter released a story of 50 Catawba warriors, led by Captain Thomas Drennan, and by far the largest single Catawba contingent of the war, that returned to the Carolina backcountry in 1781 under General Thomas Sumter to help wage a vicious guerilla war against Loyalist forces and sympathizers.

Drennan’s company provides the most detailed information we have about individual Catawba in the Revolution thanks to a pay bill submitted in 1783 that lists the names of 41 Catawba who were confirmed to have served in the unit (spelling and capitalization as in the original document).

Catawbas who fought during the Revolutionary War as proven by the 1783 pay bill include Genl. Newriver, John Brown, Robbin, Willis, Suggar Jamey, Pintree George, Morrison, Henry White, John Cagg, Quash, Littel Mick, Patrick Readhead, Billy Williams, Big Jamey, Billy Cagg, John Connan, Doctor John, Chunkey Pipe, Capt. Petter, Billy otter, Littel Aleck, John Eayrs, Petter Harris, Jacob Earys, billey Readhead, John Tompson, Jove, Pattrick Brown, George Cantey, Jacob Scott, bobb,

Somethings Not Normal in Lake Norman – Many, many swimmers, fishermen, and boaters will no longer venture out onto the waters of Lake Norman, NC. There have been sightings, lots of sights, of something not quite natural lurking just under the surface of this popular manmade lake that was created back in 1963. The locals call the beast, “Normie.” Is it a giant, overgrown garfish? A monstrous, mutated eel? Or is it something not of this world. Regardless, divers and lake dwellers fear this enormous creature which is said to be large enough to swallow a person whole.

The Herald was given permission to reprint this story to add to our understanding of the Revolutionary War in the backcountry and those who fought to defeat the British. The article was written by Ensley Guffey, Archivist, Cultural Services Division, Catawba Nation. Due to its length, the article will run in two parts this week and next.

“By the middle of the 18th century, the Catawba Nation was facing multiple crises. The smallpox epidemic of 1738 had killed 50% or more of the Catawba population, and the Nation was only slowly recovering from this loss. Peace between the Cherokee and Iroquois Confederacy allowed Iroquois war parties free passage south to their traditional Catawba enemies, as well as a safe staging area for their raids, while the westward relocation of the Savannah-Shawnee freed that tribe from the colonial interference that had mitigated their warfare against the Catawba.”

“Once the Catawba had rebuffed French offers of alliance against the British, the colonies of New France further encouraged and supplied tribes to war against the Catawba. In 1755, Edmund Atkin reported that “I have heard [the Catawba] reckon up Eleven different Nations... who were at war with them at one time.”

Finally, the Nation’s trade and agriculture were also suffering repeated blows.

Catawba lands had been all but hunted out, particularly of deer whose skins were the primary trade good between the Catawba and white colonists. Hunters had to travel farther and

farther from home, which made them vulnerable to attack from their enemies.

Meanwhile, disease and the resultant loss of population had crippled Catawba agriculture simply from loss of labor, and the drought of the early 1750s only made matters worse.”

“Fortunately for the Catawba, the competition between the colonial powers of Britain and France was heating up, and their wellearned reputation among both natives and colonists as fierce fighters was unblemished. Two Catawba chiefs of this period were able to use this military reputation as an effective diplomatic tool. Chief Yanabe Yatengway managed to retain Catawba autonomy while cultivating a relationship with South Carolina Governor James Glen that secured the flow of colonial goods and foodstuffs in exchange for a military alliance. His successor, Chief Nopkehi (called “King Hagler”), continued this relationship, but also negotiated with the colonial governments of North Carolina and Virginia, playing the colonial governments against one another as they courted the Catawba, to increase the supply of goods flowing to the Nation. This political dance allowed the Catawba to continue to survive as a Nation, maintaining their independence while underlining their value as an ally.”

“When the French and Indian War began in 1754, Nopkehi used the Catawba’s military alliance with the British colonies to keep supplies flowing to the Nation in return for Catawba warriors serving alongside both colonial militias and British regulars. The Nation’s soldiers proved their worth repeatedly on the battlefield. Catawba warriors participated in expeditions into the Ohio River Valley, patrolled the Broad River Valley in the Carolinas, and fought in several major actions against the French-allied Savannah-Shawnee, and against the Cherokee during the Anglo-Cherokee War of 1758-1761.” (To be continued next week.)

Mountaineers go after second championship of 2021 when Crest charges into Gamble Stadium Friday night Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers can do something Friday night that hasn’t been done in 99 years of football at Central and KMHS – winning two conference championships in the same calendar year.

Because of COVID, last fall’s football season was cancelled and moved to late winter and early spring.

The Mountaineers went undefeated through the Big South Conference before losing in the second round of the state 3A playoffs.

This game, by far, will be the toughest Kings Moun-

tain has had in the BSC this fall. Like the Mountaineers, the Crest Chargers come to town with a perfect conference record and they haven’t had a close game attaining it.

“They’ve been really impressive this year,” says KM Coach Greg Lloyd.

“They’re as good as anybody you’ll see. They have a big running back (Mari Adams). He’s fast and hard to tackle.”

But, he’s just one of many good athletes on the Crest team.

“They use two quarter-

backs – one for the ground game and one for passing – and both of them are very dangerous,” Lloyd said.

“And,” he added, “their defense is big, strong and aggressive. I can see why they’re good. Their only losses came early in the season to Shelby and Burns but they have improved tremendously since then.”

Kings Mountain still has some key players on the injured list, including big defensive standout AJ Richardson who sat out last week’s game at Ashbrook and will miss this week’s

too after having surgery on his hand. Lloyd hopes he will be returning soon.

“The key for us this week will be to tackle and get a lot of people to the ball,” Lloyd noted. “We will have to play disciplined football. It would be nice if our offense can stay on the field most of the night.

“And, we need to improve our special teams play,” he added. “This will be our toughest game to date, along with Shelby. We have to play really well on both sides of the ball.”

Caleb Holland saw his first action since the second game of the season at Asheville and helped lead the Mountaineers to a 51-0 win over Ashbrook Friday in Gastonia.

KM volleyball sweeps BSC title, opens playoffs with big victory Kings Mountain High’s women’s volleyball team polished off an undefeated conference season last week by winning the Big South with a 14-0 record, and then opened play in the NCHSAA 3A tournament on Saturday with an impressive 3-0 victory over North Da-

vidson at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium.

The Lady Mountaineers, 19-2 overall, were scheduled to host East Lincoln last night. A victory would have them hosting the winner of the Central Davidson-Crest game Thursday night. East Lincoln advanced with a

3-0 win over South Point Saturday.

The East and West Regional championships will be played November 2, and the State championship November 6 in Raleigh.

As usual, Kings Mountain got outstanding play from all of their ladies in

the opening round 25-5, 25-5, 25-8 win over North Davidson.

Paige Bagwell provided 30 assists, four kills and three service points.

KM’s Thalia Kushman Big South XC champion Kings Mountain runners on the men’s All-Big South team were Parker Key who finished fourth, Isaiah Watts, ninth, and Kohen Johnson, 15th.

In the women’s race, South Point was followed

by Kings Mountain, Stuart Cramer, and Forestview.

The Lady Mountaineers had beaten the Lady Red Raiders twice in the regular season, “but they brought out their full team for this run,” KM Coach Rayvis Key noted.

Two South Point runners – Maddie Franks and Rachel Tolbert, ran second and third See KUSHMAN, Page 2B

On the third play following the KM kickoff, the Mountaineers’ Quay Sanders picked off a pass and returned it 25 yards for a 13-0 lead.

“Our defense played well,” Coach Greg Lloyd said. “They did what they had to do. Ashbrook’s quarterback was out and that hurt them some, but it gave us some momentum coming into the Crest game.”

Although they didn’t seriously threaten to score, the Green Wave rallied somewhat after that and had a couple drives that kept the ball away from the Mountaineers. KM did drive to the Green Wave 17 early in the second quarter but missed a field goal.

OF THE

WEEK

Kings Mountain’s Thalia Kushman leads the pack in last week’s Big South championship cross country meet at Ashbrook High School in Gastonia.

Kings Mountain’s Thalia Kushman ran a 22:05 to win the women’s race and also the Big South Conference Cross Country Player of the Year Award in the annual conference meet last week at Gastonia Ashbrook.

Even though the two Kings Mountain teams didn’t win a team title - those went to the South Point women and Stuart Cramer men - they did place eight runners on the All-Conference teams. Joining Kushman on the ladies’ team were Divinity Ervin in fourth place, Brooke Waseman ninth, Nicole Poston 12th and Sindy Ulloa 14th.

It took Kings Mountain just four plays – and the first of those was an incomplete pass – to go 55 yards for a touchdown on their first possession and they continued to “roll the Wave” just about all night in a 51-0 Big South victory over Ashbrook Friday night in Gastonia.

The win was the eighth straight for the Mountaineers and puts them in the Big South Conference championship game against the Crest Chargers Friday at 7:30 at KM’s John Gamble Stadium.

After that incompletion, Micah Ward ripped through the Wave twice for 46 yards to set up a nine-yard touchdown run by Zay Smith with only 2:51 gone off the game clock.

held the Wave to three and out again, Mountaineer fans got a welcomed surprise when running back Caleb Holland, who had not played since suffering an injury in the second game of the year at Asheville, came onto the field.

With the Mountaineers starting at their own seven after an Ashbrook punt, Holland ripped through the line for 11 yards and on the very next play quarterback Lamont Littlejohn hit D’Andre Hoyle behind the Ashbrook secondary with an 83-yard catch and run TD. Bryson Brown passed to Curtis Simpson for a two-point conversion and a 21-0 lead.

“It was nice to have Caleb back out there playing,” said Lloyd. “He looked good and quick. All of our backs ran hard and the offensive line continues to improve.”

Taking over with 1:32 remaining in the half, Holland carried three straight times for 28 yards and a first down at the Ashbrook 22 with 48.8 seconds left on the clock. A screen pass to Hoyle got the Mountaineers to the nine, but penalties set them back to the 38. Facing third and goal, Hoyle went deep but was surrounded by two Ashbrook defenders inside the five yard line. The ball actually tipped off both Ashbrook players’ fingers and Hoyle grabbed it for the TD and a 28-0 halftime lead.

A 23-yard reception by Jake Lloyd and several big gains by Holland and Ward had the Mountaineers deep

in Ashbrook territory again but they lost a fumble at the 12. Facing third and 17 from their own 10, Ashbrook’s quarterback was scrambling to try to pass and threw the ball out of bounds from his own end zone, resulting in a safety and a 30-0 KM lead.

The Wave had to kick off from the 20, and a Smith return set the Mountaineers up at their own 48.

Holland carried twice for 30 yards and Ward twice for 11 for a first and goal at the Ashbrook 12. Three carries by Holland resulted in a touchdown and Jaden Ellis’s PAT ran the score the 37-0.

On the first play following the ensuing kickoff, Peyton Fisher scooped up an Ashbrook fumble and hauled it 65 yards for a touchdown and a 44-0 KM lead at the 5:07 mark of the third quarter, resulting in a running clock.

After another three and out for the Wave, KM took over on its own 38. Jonah Patrick hit Bryson Brown with a 17-yard pass on the final play of the third quarter, and on the third play of the fourth period Patrick hit Fisher with a 19-yarder and a first down at the Wave 24. With 6:20 left in the game, Smith scored on a two-yard run and Ellis booted the PAT for the final 51-0 margin.

Holland finished with 140 yards rushing to lead the KM attack and Ward, who spent most of his time on defense, added 60 yards in just six carries. Overall, the Mountaineers finished with 233 yards rushing and 232 passing.

Hoyle finished with three catches for 133 yards.

Kings Mountain’s Immanuel Feemster runs behind the blocking of Kylei Anderson in Friday’s JV season finale at Crest. KM won 20-16 to run the table in Big South Conference play.

Page 3B

JV Mountaineers take a time out during last week’s season finale against Crest. Mountaineers won 20-16.

JV Mountaineers beat Crest 20-16 in season finale, sweep Big South and finish with overall 8-1 record Kings Mountain scored on its first three possessions to take a quick 20-0 lead, but it took a pass interception by Curtis Simpson at the five yard line to clinch a 20-16 victory over Crest in the JV season finale Thursday night at the Chargers’ stadium.

The victory gave Coach Diron Bell’s Mountaineers a final record of 6-0 against Big South Conference teams and 8-1 overall. They were originally scheduled to face the Ashbrook Green Wave Thursday but that game, as well as the Chargers’ scheduled game with Hunter Huss, was cancelled.

The win also gave the JVs a record of 12-1 during the 2021 calendar year. In an abbreviated four-game schedule in the spring the Mountaineers went undefeated with victories over all three Cleveland County schools and South Point.

The fall 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID. On the game’s opening possession, CJ Houser broke a 61-yard run to the Crest 10 yard line to set up a three-yard touchdown run

by Thomas Fair. After Max Thompson’s point-after from placement the Mountaineers appeared to be taking command.

After the defense held the Chargers to three and out, it took just four more plays for the Mountaineers to complete a 77-yard drive with Houser scoring on a 37-yard pass from quarterback Kylei Anderson. Again, Thomp-

son split the uprights for a 14-0 lead.

After the ensuing kickoff, Crest fumbled on its first play and KM took possession at the Chargers’ 12 yard line. Zayvion Wilson’s oneyard run gave the Mountaineers their 20-0 lead.

Crest got on the scoreboard for the first time with 2:02 left in the half when a high snap on a KM punt attempt sailed out the back of the end zone for a safety.

Then, things began happening fast for the Crest offense.

Tate Ruff returned the Mountaineers’ kickoff for a touchdown, and then ran a two-point conversion to cut the score to 20-10.

That score stood until halftime, but on the first series of the second half the Chargers romped 63 yards in eight plays to score on a two-yard run. Their twopoint conversion pass attempt was intercepted by Zayvion Wilson, and with 6:43 left on the third quarter clock the scoring was over.

But, not the excitement – and the jitters!

Crest was able to march to the KM 30 before Curtis Simpson intercepted a pass.

But, again, the Crest D held.

The Mountaineers threw Ruff for a two-yard loss to end the third quarter and the Chargers had to punt the ball away with nine minutes left in the game.

The Mountaineers appeared to have the game in hand after a 12-yard run by

KM’s Zavion Wilson looks for running room against a good Crest defense in last week’s JV season finale at Crest. KM won 20-16.

Anderson gave them a first down at the 48 with just over two minutes left on the clock. But Crest recovered a fumble at the KM 48.

Three plays later, KM got a big sack at midfield, but was penalized for a late hit and Crest was on the KM 37 with a first and ten. The Chargers went for the bomb but Simpson made the big interception at the five with 1:24 remaining. With the Chargers out of time outs, the Mountaineers took a knee twice to run out the clock.

Kings Mountain High freshman golfer Kaliyah Watson shot a 106 to tie for 32nd place in last week’s Western Regional tournament at Glen Oaks Golf Club in Maiden.

“Unfortunately, she didn’t qualify for the 3A state championship but she gained some good experience in this tournament,” said KM Coach Kevin Moss. “She was able to see what she needs to do in preparation for the 2022 golf season and make it to the state championship.

“She had a very successful freshman year,” Moss added. “She was a match medalist for one conference match and co-medalist for another.

She finished fifth overall individually in the conference, made the All-Conference team and qualified for the 3A Western Regional tournament.

“She loves to practice,” he added, “and has made great strides in her golf game since she started playing in the seventh grade. Most importantly, she is a good student and has a great attitude about everything. She always has a positive outlook.”

Moss and Watson are appreciative to Kings Mountain Country Club for allowing them to practice and have matches there.

“Ken Nantz and his staff always accommodate both our golf programs to make sure we can practice and host matches,” Moss said. “They always find a way for us to host a match even if there is a scheduling conflict. They are really good to the junior players in Kings Mountain.

How to Find Financial Assistance for Aging-in-Place Improvements Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any financial assistance programs that can help seniors with home improvement projects? I would like to help my grandparents make a few modifications to their house so they can continue living there safely, but money is tight.

Searching Grandson Dear Searching, Yes! There are a number of financial aid programs available that can help seniors with home modifications and improvement projects for aging-in-place, but what’s available to your grandparents will depend on their financial situation and where they live. Here are some different options to explore.

Medicare Advantage benefits: While original Medicare does not typically pay for home improvements, if your grandparents are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, it may offer some aid for modifications based on need. Contact their Medicare Advantage provider to see if this is available.

Medicaid waivers: If your grandparents are low-income and eligible for Medicaid, most states have Medicaid Home and Community Based Services waivers that provide financial assistance to help seniors avoid nursing homes and remain living at home. Each state

has different waivers, eligibility requirements and benefits. Contact your Medicaid office (see Medicaid.gov) for information.

Non-Medicaid government assistance: Many state governments and several agencies within the federal government have programs that help low to moderate income seniors, who aren’t eligible for Medicaid with home modifications. For example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development offers HUD Home Improvement Loans by private lenders. Contact a HUD approved counseling agency (call 800-569-4287) to learn more.

And the U.S. Department of Agriculture has a Rural Development program that provides grants and loans to rural homeowners.

Your local USDA service center (see offices. sc.egov.usda.gov) can give you more for information.

Many states also have financial assistance programs known as nursing home diversion programs. These programs, which may include grants or loans or a combination, helps pay for modifications that enable the elderly and disabled to remain living at home. Modifications covered typically include accessibility improvements like wheelchair ramps, handrails and grab bars.

To find out if there are programs in your grandparent’s area, contact the city or county housing authority, the local Area Aging Agency (800-677-1116) or the state housing finance agency – see NCSHA.org/housing-help.

Veteran benefits: If your either of your grandparents is a veteran with a disability, the VA provides grants like the SAH, SHA and HISA grants that will pay for home modifications. See Benefits.va.gov/benefits/ factsheets/homeloans/sahfactsheet.pdf for details and eligibility requirements.

Some other VA programs to inquire about are the “Veteran-Directed Care” program and “Aid and Attendance or Housebound Benefits.” Both programs provide monthly financial benefits to eligible veterans that can help pay for home modifications. To learn more, visit VA.gov/geriatrics or call 800-827-1000.

Nonprofit organizations: Depending on where your grandparent’s live, they may also be able to get assistance in the form of financial aid or volunteer labor to help with modifications. One of the most noteworthy is the organization Rebuilding Together (RebuildingTogether.org, 800-473-4229), which offers three programs: Safe at Home, Heroes

at Home, and National Rebuilding Day. Another option is community building projects, which provide seniors with volunteer labor to help them make home improvements.

To search for projects in your grandparent’s area, do web search containing the phrase “community building project” followed by their “city and state.”

Reverse mortgage: Available to seniors 62 and older who own their own home and are currently living there, a reverse mortgage will let your grandparents convert part of the equity in their home into cash – which can be used for home improvements – that doesn’t have to be paid back as long as they live there. But reverse mortgages are expensive loans, so this should be a last resort.

For more information on these and other financial assistance programs, go to PayingForSeniorCare.com and click on “Senior Care” followed by “Home Modifications.”

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Spirit week at North Elementary North Elementary School celebrated Spirit Week October 11-15 in honor of Kings Mountain High School’s Homecoming. Students and staff had the opportunity to dress up in different outfits each day.

The days consisted of North Spirit Day, Superhero Day, Favorite Sports Team Day, Survivor and Class Color Day, and Mountaineer Day. Students were also able to see videos of former North students that are now on the football team, cheerleaders, and in the band. The former North Tigers encouraged the Current North Tigers to do their best and stay in school so they will be able to enjoy the real meaning of Homecoming.

Scenes from North Elementary Spirit Week that was held on October 11-15. (Photos provided)

Nearby road trips to enjoy When You Place Your Fall’s changing colors Western Carolina is well known for its vibrant Fall leaf foliage and now is the time to start enjoying Nature’s annual showcase. There are numerous outstanding vistas waiting for you just minutes’ drive from Kings Mountain and Cleveland County.

Keep in mind that leaves located in the highest elevations change and brighten first and they are often the most colorful, while other leaves that are nestled in the North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont take a bit longer to reach their peak visibility.

The Blue Ridge Parkway present a wide variety of well-known, breath-taking views. Just 130 miles from Kings Mountain, you can take the northern trek along this historic curving mountain pathway. Graveyard Fields which is found near the Pisgah National Forest as well as Linville Gorge is peaking now, displaying some wonderful color, especially in areas above 5,000 feet. Another popular leaf peeping destination along the Blue Ridge Parkway is Grandfather Mountain and the High Country region.

(20 Words or Less) sightseeing tour with one of North Carolina’s many waterfalls and creeks? Along US 276 is the famous Sliding Rock, surrounded by nature’s colorful canvas. Hike the 3-mile trail to Looking Glass Rock surrounded by a vast variety of trees with remarkable foliage in October through mid-November. Take NC 63 West to NC 209 where you’ll find Hot Springs with its hot mineral waters, including the historic Hot Springs Resort and Spa. Journey along US 19 between Maggie Valley and Cherokee to witness stunning Fall colors along with babbling brooks and experience a bit of local history along the way.

Weather and quickly shifting Fall temperatures can

alter the timing, duration, and brilliance of the changing leaf colors, so make sure to do a little reconnaissance before you venture out. The recent cold snap in the higher elevations will accelerate the changing colors.
