Masks are now optional at CCS

By Loretta Cozart At the November 8 Cleveland County Board of Education meeting, members voted 5 -4 to make mask wearing optional at school.

Robert Queen, Rodney Fitch, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, and Danny Blanton voted in favor of the policy change. Greg Taylor, Phillip Glover, Coleman Hunt and Dena Green voted against.

Superintendent of Schools Stephen Fisher said schools would need time to inform parents and staff and suggested changing the policy effective November 15.

School Board Member Dena Green said prior to the

Cleveland County S C H O O L S

vote, “I think our numbers are really doing good, but they are doing good because we are doing the right things.

I also know they are expecting a surge over the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I don’t know if that’s something you want to take into consideration or not.”

Under state law, school boards across North Carolina are required to hold a public vote every month on their policies regarding wearing masks at school, regardless of whether officials plan to change the policy.

Dennis Raymond Caveny

James Kenneth Plonk

NASHVILLE, TN – Dennis Raymond Caveny, age 58, of Nashville, TN finished his race on earth in the early hours of Sunday, November 14, 2021, about 18 months after being diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

Dennis grew up in Kings Mountain, NC, and after traveling to France in High School, looked for more ways to see more places around the world. His job in his early 20s for Piedmont Airlines allowed him the ability to travel to many states in the U.S., then a later job with Sony Music sent him to several countries in Asia, South America and Central America. In the late 90s, after a short-term mission’s trip to Kenya, he moved his family to Uganda for a long-term missionary assignment. After his time in Africa, he gained such a love for the people he met that he made multiple return trips there over the years.

Dennis was always up for an adventure, and he could talk engagingly with anyone. He loved a good story, and he loved to laugh. After he was diagnosed with ALS in May of 2020, he purposed to live more intentionally, and he and his family made some special memories in his last 18 months on earth.

Dennis’s deep and abiding hope and faith rested in Jesus Christ, and his greatest desire was that his journey would be a testimony that would point people to be reconciled to God; we feel like he did just that with valor and grace.

Dennis is survived

by Danielle, his bride of six years; his son, Aaron Caveny (Madison, daughter-in-love); his son, Christopher Caveny; his daughter, Anna Caveny; his daughter, Elise Caveny; his only granddaughter, Colbie Caveny; his mother, Frances Caveny; his brother, Dale Caveny; and a host of other family and friends who loved and were loved

by Dennis. He is preceded in death by his father, Floyd “Sam” Caveny.

A Celebration of Life service to honor and remember Dennis will be held at New Song Nashville, 316 Southgate Ct., Brentwood, TN on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at 10:30 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Daylight Christian Popakol, a ministry in Uganda that was very dear to Dennis. Donations can be made through New Song Nashville at https://pushpay.com/g/newsongbrentwood. (Please put “Caveny Gift” in the memo.)

Ken was preceded in death by his sister-in-law Rebecca Marvin Plonk. Ken is survived by brothers Thomas Plonk, Mike Plonk (Sue), Steve Plonk (Susan Thisell), Richard Plonk, sister Judy Plonk Davis (Steve Davis) and longtime friend Jaycie Claire. Ken was devoted to his extended family, and well loved by his nieces and nephews.

Ken was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina.

He loved his Tar Heels, a good debate, children, great food, pheasant hunting, bow hunting, the great outdoors, cats, dogs, wildlife and most of, all family gatherings. He was a kind, sweet, and an extravagantly giving man. He followed politics with a keen mind and invested in real estate for pleasure.

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

–Julie Andrews

Pieces of Kings Mountain History

During their November 8 meeting, Cleveland County School Board LORETTA offered a 60COZART day reprieve on the sale of Central School, a building that operated as Kings Mountain High School from 1933 to 1965. However, the property has housed a school for the city’s children since 1876 and the auditorium predates the current building by nine years. It was built in 1924.

This week’s column offers additional information than that written by Bonnie Mauney Summers and gives insight into the history of Kings Mountain Schools between 1876 through 1994.

In 2015, NC Department of Transportation contracted with Fearnbach History Services, Inc. and Acme Preservation Services, LLC to undertake a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of historic schools in Cleveland, Henderson, Polk, and Rutherford Counties.

Principal investigator Heather Fearnbach took a deep dive into the state’s records to understand the history of this facility.

This is Fearnbach’s report regarding Kings Mountain High School - Central School.

The survey’s goal was to identify a representative sample of existing public schools built during the 1920s and 1930s to provide architectural and historical context for Ruth Elementary School, which

was closed due to construction of Rutherfordton Bypass.

Fearnbach photographed all buildings on each campus deemed to merit documentation based on historic integrity and significance. Included were a few schools constructed after the 1930s, due to the Modernist cafeterias, gymnasiums, and classrooms erected both as additions and free-standing structures represent a statewide mid-twentieth-century school improvement campaign.

The Charlotte-Atlanta Railway’s arrival in conjunction with the textile industry spurred Kings Mountain’s growth during the nineteenth century’s final decades. In 1876, town residents constructed a two-story frame school on the current Ridge Street site of Kings Mountain School – Central High School.

Principal William T. Bell initially headed the private campus, which functioned as Bell School, Kings Mountain Military Academy, and then the Public High School of the Town of Kings Mountain, all subscription institutions, until 1905, when it became a public school under the direction of superintendent S. W. Carwile. That year, Carwile, who received a $29-per-month salary, and his faculty instructed firstthrough eighth-grade students in a building with an assessed value of $1,200.

A 1910 fire destroyed the frame building, which was replaced that year with a two-story, brick,

Classical Revival-style school distinguished by a full-height, four-bay entrance portico. The edifice encompassed twelve classrooms, an auditorium, a music room, and an office.

In 1920, increased enrollment required the conversion of the second-floor auditorium into four classrooms.

At the close of the 1920-1921 school term, Kings Mountain School Principal F. C. Nye reported 126 students registered in eighth through eleventh grades, with daily attendance averaging 108 youth. Sixteen pupils graduated that spring, completing their course of study under the direction of four female teachers.

A rear addition finished in 1924 provided eight classrooms and an auditorium. Principal J. Y. Irvin and six female teachers instructed 204 students in 1925, when the graduating class numbered twenty-five young men and women.

Students occupied eighteen classrooms, six of which housed high school grades.

Four students resided on campus. In 1929-1930, principal B. N. Barnes and thirty-five teachers oversaw 201 high school and 1,194 elementary school pupils.

Thirty-four students graduated that spring.

The Federal Emergency Relief Administration and the North Carolina Emergency Relief Administration subsidized grounds improvements at a cost of $5,537.25 in the early 1930s. The campus’s 1910 building was destroyed in a fire on November 14, 1932, but contractors

During the 1933-1934 term, principal Claude Grigg and twelve female teachers educated 475 first through seventh-grade pupils enrolled at Kings Mountain School. At

that time, the building comprised twenty-eight classrooms, fourteen of which housed elementary grades, as well as offices, a library, an auditorium, and a recently completed gymnasium.

Principal A. H. Patterson’s high school faculty consisted of eight teachers in 1934-1935. High school

enrollment comprised 352 students, twenty-eight of whom graduated. Works Progress Administration funds subsidized the gymnasium’s construction in 1937 and the lunchroom’s operation. Principal D. M. Bridges, thirteen full-time, and three part-time female educators supervised 579 See PIECES, Page 5A

Honor and care for our Veterans During World War II, on April 9, 1942, 75,000 United States soldiers and Glenn Mollette Filipino Guest Editorial soldiers were surrendered to Japanese forces after months of battling in extreme-climate conditions.

Soon after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese forces began the invasion of the Philippines. The capture of the Philippines was crucial to the Japanese. It would bring them one step closer to the control of the Southwest Pacific. The Philippines were just as important to the U.S. Having troops in the Philippines gave the U.S. footing in the Southwest Pacific. After the invasion of the Philippines, U.S. – Filipino troops defended the crucial lands.

These brave soldiers were responsible for the defense of the islands of Luzon, Corregidor, and the harbor defense forts of the Philippines.

They fought in a malaria-infested region, and survived on little portions of food. Some lived off of half or quarter rations.

The soldiers lacked medical attention. U.S. medics did what they could to help their fellow soldiers. They fought with outdated equipment and virtually no air power.

The soldiers retreated to the Philippine Peninsula when Japanese forces were reinforced and overwhelmed the U.S. – Filipino soldiers.

On April 9, 1942, the U.S. and Filipino soldiers surrendered after seven months of battle, combined with exposure to the extreme elements, disease, and lack of vital supplies. The tens of thousands of U.S. and Filipino soldiers were forced to become prisoners of war to the Japanese. The soldiers faced horrifying conditions and treatment as POWs. The soldiers were deprived of food, water, and medical attention, and were forced to march 65 miles to confinement camps throughout the Philippines.

The captive soldiers were marched for days through the scorching jungles of the Philippines.

Thousands died. Those who survived faced the hardships of prisoner of war camps and the brutality of their Japanese captors.

The POWs would not

see freedom until 1945 when U.S. – Filipino forces recaptured the lost territory.

In 1945, U.S. – Filipino forces recaptured the Philippines and freed the captive soldiers who were suffering in the confinement camps. These soldiers would be impacted by the poor conditions of the camps and the mistreatment by their Japanese captors. About onethird of the prisoners died from health complications after they were freed. (The above information is from Bataan.com).

My wife’s grandfather, Lyle C. Harlow, was one of the thousands who lived through the 65-mile march and almost four years as a prisoner of war. When he and the others who survived were freed, he came back to his wife in Kentucky who had also survived and a daughter born right after his departure overseas.

He returned broken, weighing less than a hundred pounds and had to rebuild his life essentially from zero.

Harlow, like thousands of others, never received a dime from the United States government after his release from the military. He received some VA medical benefits and See VETERANS, Page 5A Kings Mountain Herald’s publisher and its advertisers are not responsible or liable for misprints, typographical errors, misinformation herein contained.

PIECES From Page 4A enrolled elementary school students in 1939-1940.

Bridges and thirteen other teachers instructed 397 high school students, sixty of whom graduated that spring. Extracurricular activities ranged from athletics to band, drama, and glee clubs. Campus improvements that year included music and first aid room construction and furnishing.

Principal J. E. Huneycutt, sixteen female teachers, one male instructor, and four part-time faculty members (three female and one male) oversaw 689 first through eighthgrade students enrolled in 1946. Daily attendance averaged 564 youth.

The student body also included 264 high school pupils educated by Huneycutt, nine female teachers, and three male faculty members in twelve of the school’s thirty classrooms.

Extracurricular activities included athletics, band, and glee, health, and stamp clubs. Facility improvements ranged from

cafeteria painting and updates to the acquisition of new library tables, chairs, and books.

In May 1950, Central School’s campus was so large that it had two principals. Willie McGill supervised 280 firstthrough third-grade pupils educated by him and seven female teachers.

Rowell Lane oversaw an additional eleven full-time and three part-time female teachers and one parttime male instructor.

Lane’s faculty taught 395 youth enrolled in fourth through eighth grades, where daily attendance averaged 339 students, as well as ninth through twelfth grades, where 314 of 361 students typically attended classes. The student body participated in after-school activities such as athletics, band, and health and science clubs.

Facility improvements in 1950 included exterior trim painting, installation of a new heating system and furnace chimney, and construction of a brick bus garage.

In 1954-1955, Lane and sixteen teachers edu-

During the 1959-1960 term, principal Harry E. Jaynes and twenty-two faculty members oversaw 542 high school students, 111 of whom graduated.

Campus updates included floor refinishing and the installation of a flagpole.

After the high school moved to a newly constructed campus in the

fall of 1965, Central School functioned as the district’s junior high school, accommodating seventh and eighth grades system wide. Ten years later, sixth grade replaced eighth grade, which relocated to the new junior high school on Phifer Road. Central School remained in oper-

ation until becoming the Kings Mountain District’s administrative offices in 1994.

had to rebuild their lives with no help from our country. This makes it difficult to understand how our government can consider handing out thousands of dollars to illegals pouring into our nation. Do we just hand them the American dream simply because they made it across our border?

Most Americans are charitable people. We do

more than any nation to help others. Yet, when our homeless Veterans are sleeping on America’s streets while shelters, medical insurance and even cash are made available for those who are unwilling to salute our flag, hate our culture and despise many of our values, then something is wrong – seriously wrong.

How Mom became a Christian Christian Testimonies of Some Family Members

body happy” goes the old saying. Well, thank God, my Mom was happy—full of joy and peace.

Here’s why: Mom was born in 1929 in Savannah Georgia. She enjoyed playing with her older sister, learning to sew from grandma, going to Tybee Beach, and excelling in school.

At Armstrong College she became Valedictorian of her class and the love of one student’s life!

That student borrowed her Psychology class notes but couldn’t read them. To Mom’s house he went.

Love blossomed and wedding bells sounded for Lewis Taylor and Marian Dunsmuir on December 16, 1950!

Two years later, their first-born son was born! Dad was providing through his Retail Credit Company (now Equifax) job. What more could mom want? But even with a wonder-

Gobbling down Mom’s peanut butter (“cowboy”) cookies, eating slice after slice of mom’s pumpkin pies, hearing Mom’s sewing machine whirl- DR. STEVE TAYLOR ing round Pastor and round, Bethlehem Baptist and songs Church like Amazing Grace sounding from mom’s lips—those are but a scoop of the happy memories filling my childhood!

“If mom ain’t happy, ain’t no-

LEWIS AND MARIAN DUNSMUIR TAYLOR ful husband and son, mom wistfully pondered, “Is there more to life?

Where is deep happiness found?”

God was already giving her the answer. She had seen her stepdad, Battey Bragg, miraculously converted by Christ. She had heard

Rev. Moulton preach about Jesus shedding His precious blood for her sins. She had received a Bible from her husband as a Christmas present.

The pivotal moment came one night. She and her husband desperately knelt by the bed. In a nearby hospital bed, draped with a protective bubble, lay their 2-yr-old son with Spinal Meningitis.

That day, the doctor had said, “We have done all we can. The only thing left to do is pray!” And pray they did! Dad, who had backslidden, got right with God. Mom, who said not a word, felt God calling and opened her heart to the Lord.

Mom nurtured her newly converted soul on Ephesians, her favorite Bible book, and Angel Unaware, Dale Evans Rogers’ book providentially sent by an aunt.

For over 50 years, Mom delighted in teaching God’s Word to

ladies in Sunday School, students at Memorial Day School, and children in her home! Neighborhood “children” like Cathryn Schaeffer McLeod, still visit Mom to say, “Thank you for telling me about Jesus!”

I also say, “Thank you for showing us how to trust Jesus!” For Mom has lived day by day with the joy of the Lord, whose Word says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:9). And mom has lived day by day with the peace of Jesus who says, “My peace I give with you” (John 14:27).

Often, she recites: Oh, the peace My Father gives, Peace I never knew before; And the way has brighter grown, Since I’ve learned to trust Him more.

Do you want true happiness? A life full of joy and peace? Like my 92-yr-old Mom—trust Jesus!

Parking downtown was an issue all day as shoppers traveled between two shows, one at Trackview Hall and the other beside the Joy Performance Theater. In addition, trailers from the Lifetime movie shot at Dellinger’s Jewel Shop Friday night remained in the back parking lot for part of the morning.

However, parking remained at a premium as shoppers traveled through downtown. Some shoppers took advantage of dining in local restaurants as holiday shopping once again filled the air with excitement in the central business district.

“We are happy so

many people came to visit the vendors and take a closer look at Trackview Hall. We’ve been open several months now and folks are interested to see how we’ve transformed the former Belk’s into an event venue,” Sherryl said.

“You wouldn’t believe the number of folks who have already been through,” said co-owner Shane Adams. “We had 2,000 stop in by 1:30 pm. It is just amazing and shows how supportive the community is of shopping local.”

Kings Mountain travels to Dudley for biggest test

Kings Mountain’s Javier Curry has a West Charlotte runner in his grasp in Friday’s second round playoff game in Charlotte.

Photos by Charlie Smith

Quick touchdown sparks Mountaineers to 27-17 victory over West Charlotte Kings Mountain quarterback Lamont Littlejohn Jr. hit Jake Lloyd with a 49yard catch and run across the middle on the third play of the game to spark the Mountaineers to a 27-17 second round state playoff win over the West Charlotte Lions Friday night at Waddell High School in Charlotte.

The win was Kings Mountain’s 10th in what most folks thought would be a rebuilding year, but instead the Mountaineers were just reloading.

The Mountaineers got some injured players back and they made an impact, and they hope to see even more return for this week’s third round game at Greensboro Dudley.

Junior running back Robert Kendrick, who returned the previous week to help the Mountaineers come from behind to open the playoffs with a 21-17 win over Franklin, was back in top form Friday. He carried the pigskin 22 times for 130 yards and a touchdown.

Lloyd’s early catch was his first of five and he finished with 104 yards receiving. Kings Mountain racked up 372 yards, including 234

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers travel to Greensboro Dudley Friday night for a third round game in the NCHSAA 3A football playoffs, and this will be by far their biggest test of the year.

Dudley is the highest scoring high school team in the state of North Carolina, and perhaps in the nation, averaging 49 points a game.

“They’re definitely one of the best teams we’ve seen,” says Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd whose young team won its 10th game of the season last week against West Charlotte.

The Dudley team has loads of experience as most of its starting 22 are seniors.

Their quarterback, 6-0, 188-pound senior Jahmier Slade has completed 81 of 132 passes for 1,778 yards and 25 touchdowns and he is also a good runner. As a team, they have hit 100 of 178 passes for 2,273 yards and 30 TDs.

Their top rusher, senior Michael Shaw, has rushed 97 times for 1,023 yards and 12 TDs, and his backup RJ Baker has 918 yards on 63 carries and 11 TDs. They also have two good receivers in Mehki Wall, who has 31 catches for 778 yards and eight TDs, and the above-mentioned Baker with 17 catches for 588 yards and nine TDs. “They are extremely big and fast and they are used to winning big. They are strong at home. This game will be very challenging,” Lloyd said. “They run out of a spread and a 4-3 defense.

They are very aggressive and good in all phases of the game.”

Kings Mountain has played some of its best games this season on the road, beating state playoff teams like Asheville, Burns, South Point and West Charlotte. Their only two losses were at home to county rivals Shelby and Crest.

HOW THEY GOT HERE Dudley

Kings Mountain running back Robert Kendrick is open against the West Charlotte defense in Friday’s game in Charlotte. on the ground and 138 in the air.

Kicker Jaden Ellis, who had one of his best nights of the year going 3-for-3 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals, made the Lions start deep in their own territory most of the night.

“We really played well,” said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd.” That was definitely one of the best games

we’ve played. We were good in all three areas of the game.

It was hard fought from the beginning, and it was a very good win over a very good team.”

After KM’s initial score, which took just 1:30 off the clock, Ellis put his kickoff into the end zone making the Lions start at their own 20.

They did experience some success moving the ball, but

a big 10-yard sack by KM’s Micah Ward on a third and seven play at the Mountaineers’ 38 forced the Lions to kick the ball away.

Thomas Feemster, who had been out of action since the South Point game, and Kendrick sparked a 10-play, 85-yard touchdown march which included a 16 yard reception by Lloyd to set up a

Kings Mountain was scheduled to go to East Lincoln yesterday for another key TriCounty Conference bout.

#1 seed Canton Pisgah.

They advance against their Gaston County and Big South Conference neighbor Forestview Jaguars, the 25th seed, who knocked off nine seed Parkwood. That game will be played in Belmont where the Red Raiders edged the Jaguars by a field goal in overtime during the regular season.

The BSC’s top ranked team, #4 Crest, was the only BSC team going into last

The Chargers defeated #20 West Rowan to advance to the third round against #5 North Davidson. That game will be played at Crest.

Five of the eight BSC teams qualified for the state tournament. The only first round loser was Stuart Cramer, which fell to Charlotte Catholic. The Storm went into that game without the services of its all-star quarterback, Justin Rocquemore

KMHS junior kicker Jaden Ellis was 3-for-3 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals to help lead the Mountaineers to a 27-17 win over West Charlotte Friday.

Kings Mountain High band did its usual fine job in supporting the Mountaineers in Friday’s win over West Charlotte at Waddell High School in Charlotte.

Junior receiver Jake Lloyd caught five passes for 108 yards, to help the Mountaineers defeat a good West Charlotte team in the second round of the state 3A playoffs Friday in Charlotte.

Line coach Kevin Cruise talks with his players while the defense is on the field taking care of the West Charlotte offense in Friday’s game at Waddell High School.

Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd keeps his eye on the action during his team’s big win over West Charlotte Friday.

Kings Mountain quarterback Lamont Littlejohn threw for 138 yards in Friday’s win over West Charlotte.

From Page 1B 22 yard run around left end by Kendrick for a 14-0 lead with 27 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

West Charlotte answered with an 88-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by a 38-yard reception by 6’5” Chancelor Morrow at the KM one. Anterius Carpenter scored to cut the margin to 14-7.

West Charlotte was threatening again late in the half but an offensive pass interference on fourth and eight at the KM 29 turned the ball over to the Mountaineers with 1:06 left in the half. Kendrick carried twice for 14 yards, and with 7.1 seconds left, Bryson Brown caught a 36-yard pass from Littlejohn and stepped out of bounds at the West Charlotte 22. A quick 12-yard run around right end and out of bounds by Kendrick stopped the clock with 1.7 seconds remaining in the half.

Jaden Ellis came on to drill a 30-yard field goal to send the Mountaineers into the halftime break with a 17-7 lead.

The Lions weren’t ready to be put in the den yet. They drove the second half kickoff from their own 15 to the KM five where they faced fourth and goal. Their Sulemani Fortuna came on to kick a field goal to cut the difference to 17-10.

Kings Mountain answered, though, and drove 71 yards

to score on a one-yard run by Micah Ward for a 24-10 lead that would end up being the winning points. Ward, who also played well on defense, had six carries for 35 yards during the drive.

That score held up until early in the fourth quarter when West Charlotte’s Khemaan Fleming returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown to cut the margin to 24-17 with 10:39 remaining.

“Our biggest mistake was not covering that guy on the punt return,” Coach Lloyd noted. “But our overall effort was good. We executed well and played good on both offense and defense.”

Things looked a little bleak for KM when the Mountaineers fumbled the ensuing kickoff and West recovered at the KM 30. But, three plays later a hard hit by KM’s Peyton Fisher and Seth Neal forced a fumble and KM’s Ward recovered with 9:34 remaining at the KM 45.

An 11-yard first down run by Kendrick, followed by a 25yard first down reception by Lloyd put KM on the West 20, but a 15-yard penalty pushed them back to the 35. Another reception by Lloyd got them back to the 25, but they faced fourth down. Ellis came on a drilled a 42-yard field goal to account for the final margin.

The Lions had only two possessions after that. Sacks

by Lloyd and Seth Neal ended one, and Neal had the other to end the game.

DUDLEY From Page 1B

“We will have to play our best game of the year,” Lloyd said. “We have to keep going with what we had going Friday night against West Charlotte. We have to keep that momentum up.

“Their quarterback runs the ball well and throws well,” he said. “He has some very good receivers. I don’t think they’ve punted the ball all year.

“They have the most yardage in the state in any

classification,” he continued. “They made a run last year and lost to a Mt. Tabor team that went on to win the state championship.

They’re hungry to do that, too, so this is going to be a tough test.

“We have to play our best game of the year to have an opportunity to win this game,” he added.

“We’ve beaten some good teams on the road before.

They’re tough, but we have to do what we did last week. We have to play well and we have to play hard.”

Lady Patriots volleyball sweeps West Lincoln Kings Mountain Middle School’s volleyball team recorded its third straight sweep Thursday, defeating West Lincoln 25-6, 25-6, 25-9.

Top contributors for the Lady Patriots were Abigail Hedgepath with six kills, 17 assists, seven digs, and 14 service points which included four aces.

Camden Pasour provided 12 digs, 11 kills, seven assists and 12 service points which included five aces.

Megan Harrison had four

kills, two digs and 21 service points which included 12 aces.

Kenzlie Morris had five kills.

Ava Tipton provided 13 digs and eight service points, including three aces.

“The entire team played a great game and kept their opponent to only 21 points altogether,” noted head coach Lindsay Ellis.

Kings Mountain was slated to host a good East Lincoln team yesterday.

Catawbas in the Revolutionary War Part II Several weeks ago, the Herald ran Part I of a story recounting the service given by the Catawba Nation during the Revolutionary War. The article was written by Ensley Guffey, Archivist, Cultural Services Division, Catawba Nation, and the Herald was given permission to reprint this story from their newsletter. This is their article.

Indeed, the young George Washington felt that having Catawbas under his command in the Ohio River Valley was important enough to repeatedly complain to Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie that not enough was being done to recruit and guide Catawba fighters to his command. The military alliance with Britain and its colonies thus allowed the Catawba to begin to recover from the hard times of the 1740s and early-1750s.

Tragically, in 1759, smallpox once again swept through the Nation, reducing the total population to an estimated 250330 people. In military terms, the Catawba could field 400 warriors when the French and Indian War began in 1754, but by 1760 warfare and disease had reduced this number to less than 75.

The Catawba’s service in the French and Indian War enabled King Hagler (Chief Nopkehi) to successfully negotiate with the Royal Governor of South Carolina for the creation of a 144,000-acre reservation for the Catawba, albeit at the cost of relinquishing any claim to the rest of the Catawba’s traditional lands. Nopkehi did not

live to see the establishment of the reservation by the Treaty of Augusta (1763), however, as he was killed by a Shawnee raiding party while travelling between colonial towns in yet another round of diplomacy.

The reservation gave the Catawba legal protection against continued white encroachment, and at least a chance at reversing their population decline. Further, British victory in the French and Indian and Seven Years Wars largely put an end to inter-tribal warfare among the Iroquois, Catawba, Cherokee, and Shawnee, providing further relief for the struggling Catawba Nation. However, by 1763, the diminution of the Catawba people had largely put an end to the Nation’s ability to influence colonial diplomacy, as they were no longer large enough to field a military force of any significance.

Nonetheless, the Catawba’s prowess in battle, and their skill as riflemen, trackers, and scouts was still highly regarded. With the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775, the South Carolina Council of Safety immediately courted the Catawba as allies, promising gifts and pay for soldiers in return for military service, indicating that, despite their reduced numbers (only about 400 people in total by 1775), Catawba warriors were still thought to confer a tactical advantage in battle. Of all the southeastern tribes who participated in the war, the Catawba were the only one who fought from beginning to end for the Rebel cause. In large part, this may be because the state’s Rebel government included See CATAWBAS, Page 5B

CATAWBAS From Page 4B many of the men who had negotiated the Treaty of Augusta, and the Catawba deemed them more likely to uphold the treaty and protect their reservation, and this was indeed a promise made by officials in Charleston. In any case, the Nation’s small number of warriors served widely and well.

Catawba riflemen would take part in the defense of Charleston and the Battle of Sullivan’s Island in 1776, rode with Rebel partisan rangers against marauding bands of escaped slaves and Loyalist units in the

Carolina backcountry in 17751776 and again in 1780-1781.

Catawba scouts and riflemen served with Colonel Andrew Williamson’s forces against the Cherokee in 1776, and invaded Georgia as part of General Benjamin Lincoln’s campaign in 1779. Later, under General Thomas Sumter, and as part of Colonel Henry Lee’s Legion, they saw action at the Battle of Haw River (a.k.a. Pyle’s Massacre) and the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781.

The Catawba also carried out a remarkable withdrawal of their people from South Carolina after the Rebel defeat at the Battle of Camden in 1780, when Catawba lands

The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com came under direct British control. Rather than switch sides, the Catawba called their warriors home to lead the women, children, and elderly north to Virginia and safety before returning to the fight later that year. In response, the British burned the abandoned Catawba homes and fields to the ground. A company of 50 Catawba warriors, led by Captain Thomas Drennan and by far the largest single Catawba contingent of the war, 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 (see sidebar at right spelling and capitalization as in the original document).

It is worth noting the that the company included both General New River, the leading Catawba chief during the Revolution, and his eventual successor, Jacob Scott.

After the war, and despite the promises of the South Carolina government, the treaty of Augusta was honored more in the breach than the observance, and even appeals by Catawba Revolutionary veterans to their old commander during

Page 5B the French and Indian War, George Washington, failed to put an end to the encroachment of white settlers onto Catawba land. Nevertheless, the Nation could be proud of its military service. Between 1754 and 1781, Catawba warriors had fought the Cherokee, Iroquois, Shawnee, the militias of New France, the French regular army, Loyalist Tory militias, Tarleton’s Rangers, and the regular British Army under General Lord Cornwallis to name just a few. In doing so, they not only gained military honor, but through their service ensured the survival of the Catawba Nation itself.

Does Medicare Cover Mobility Scooters or Wheelchairs?

Dear Savvy Senior, I have arthritis in my hips and knees and have a difficult time getting around anymore. What do I need to do to get a Medicare-covered electric-powered scooter or wheelchair?

Need a Ride

Dear Need, If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, getting an electric-powered mobility scooter or wheelchair that’s covered by Medicare starts with a visit to your doctor’s office.

If eligible, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost, after you’ve met your Part B deductible ($203 in 2021). You will be responsible for the remaining 20 percent unless you have supplemental insurance. Here’s a breakdown of how it works.

Schedule an Appointment Your first step is to call your doctor or primary care provider and schedule a Medicare required, face-to-face mobility evaluation to determine your need for a power scooter or wheelchair. For you to be eligible, you’ll need to meet all of the following conditions:

• Your health condition makes moving around your home very difficult, even with the help of a cane, crutch, walker or manual wheelchair.

• You have significant problems performing activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, getting in or out of a bed or chair, or using the bathroom.

• You are able to safely operate, and get on and off the scooter or wheelchair, or have someone with you who is always available to help you safely use the device.

If eligible, your doctor will determine what kind of mobility equipment you’ll need based on your condition, usability in your home, and ability to operate it.

a power scooter or wheelchair, he or she will fill out a written order or prescription. Once you receive it, you’ll need to take it to a Medicare approved supplier within 45 days. To find Medicare approved suppliers in your area, visit Medicare.gov/medical-equipment-suppliers or call 800633-4227.

There are, however, circumstances where you may need “prior authorization” for certain types of power wheelchairs. In this case, you’ll need permission from Medicare before you can get one.

It’s also important to know that Medicare coverage is dependent on your needing a scooter or wheelchair in your home. If your claim is based on needing it outside your home, it will be denied as not medically necessary, because the wheelchair or scooter will be considered a leisure item.

Financial Aid If you have a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, it may pick up some, or all of the 20 percent cost of the scooter or wheelchair that’s not covered by Medicare. If, however, you don’t have supplemental insurance, and can’t afford the 20 percent, you may be able to get help through Medicare Savings Programs. Call your local Medicaid office for eligibility information.

Where to Buy If your doctor determines you need

Or, if you find that you’re not eligible for a Medicare covered scooter or

wheelchair, and you can’t afford to purchase one, renting can be a much cheaper short-term solution. Talk to a supplier about this option.

For more information about power mobility devices call Medicare at 800-633-4227 or visit Medicare.gov/ coverage/wheelchairs-scooters.

Medicare Advantage If you happen to have a Medicare Advantage plan (like an HMO or PPO), you’ll need to call your plan to find out the specific steps you need to take to get a power-wheelchair or scooter. Many Advantage plans have specific suppliers within the plan’s network they’ll require you to use.

Political activity puts attention on District 13

By Loretta Cozart North Carolina’s newest congressional district brought a flurry of political activity this week.

Redrawn District 13 includes the following counties: McDowell, Burke, Polk, Rutherford, Cleveland, Gaston, and portions of western Mecklenburg.

It was speculated that NC House Speaker Tim Moore would not seek re-election but would instead run for Congress in District 13. However, he announced on November 11 he will seek re-election as the Speaker of the NC House.

Regarding the decision, House Speaker Moore wrote in a tweet, “While much of the speculation about my potential congressional candidacy has been driven by the media

and political pundits, I have been humbled by the folks in our region who expressed their wishes for me to represent them in Washington.”

Moore continued, “I will continue to fight for my constituents, and I will work for what the state needs now – a balanced budget that cuts taxes and invests in our critical needs during these challenging times. I look forward to serving my colleagues as

Speaker of the House of Representatives and securing a supermajority for the Republicans next year.”

Former Mecklenburg County Commissioner Karen Bentley announced her intent to run against Moore.

Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn announced on November 11 he would switch districts and run for the U.S. Senate in District 13 in 2022.

November 2021 marks the centennial of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On November 11, 1921, following the end of World War I, the repatriated remains of an unknown member of the American Expeditionary Forces were interred at Arlington National Cemetery.

Since then, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has provided a final resting place for Unknowns from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. With more than 100,000

The Tomb has grown into a powerful national symbol of service and sacrifice. To this day, it is protected 24 hours a day by members of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, also known as the Old Guard.

"I can't tell you what the award means to me, especially when the story is so personal and heartfelt," says a humbled Dreama' Mrs. Gilligan' Denver.

Dreama Denver was married to late TV icon Bob Denver for three decades. Bob is remembered fondly to generations of fans as Gilligan, the hapless first mate shipwrecked on that tropical desert isle, and his fellow castaways on Gilligan's Island.

"Gilligan's Dreams: The Other Side of the Island" chronicles the behind-the-scenes stories of both the showbiz success and the behind-the-scenes family life of one of television's most popular and enduring stars.

Dreams was Bob Denver's loving nickname for Dreama.

"This is the journey of two imperfect people who fit perfectly together," says Dreama.

"Losing Bob was the most difficult thing I've ever faced, but his love left me stronger, more focused, and in the end, able to survive even when I thought I couldn't. Being loved by this man was the greatest gift of my life,
