On October 5, Cleveland County business development director Jason Falls, presented an updated plan for Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort to the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. Falls shared that on average 2,500 people have visited the pre-launch facility each day, which equates to over 900,000 visitors in a year’s time. On September 28, expansion modules were delivered to the casino property which will double

its size from 15,000 squarefeet to 30,000 square-feet. The completion date is set for December 15, but, according to Falls, “There is a big push from the owners, the Catawba Nation, to be open by Thanksgiving.’ The Introductory Phase has been renamed Opportunity Phase I. Initially, a 5-story parking deck was to hold 600 vehicles, according to Falls. That number has increased to 2,500 – 2,600 and will be 87-feet tall, which was approved by Kings Mountain City Council. All floors, total, will comprise 638,875

square-feet. The proposed building is referred to as Master Plan Phase I and is roughly 450,000 square-feet. It will have two floors comprised of an upper level of 198,400 square-feet and a lower floor measuring 57,432 square-feet. The original plan was for a 60,000 square-foot building, but those plans have changed. “They have changed things because of the number of visitors they have been seeing out there. Because of the success they’ve been seeing as far

as the casino, they have really ramped up how quickly they want to build and get into a larger facility,” Falls said. “One caveat is that the plans change often. So, this is what it is today.” The proposed hotel tower is 29-stories tall and will house four restaurants totaling 37,000 square-feet. A stoplight is planned for a new entrance on Kings Mountain Boulevard. To view the presentation, visit https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=PepV401uJDE

Senate passes Bill to create patient visitation rights L a s t Wednesday, the North Carolina Senate passed Senate Bill 191, "The No Patient Left Alone Act," which ensures that ailing loved ones in healthcare facilities can have a visitor present in their most trying moments. During the most stringent phase of COVID-19 restrictions, spouses and family members were de-

nied compassionate care visits, and many died alone. The No Patient Left Alone Act creates mandatory visitation rights for patients, including in nursing homes and hospice care facilities, and requires those facilities to follow federal Facilities found violating visitation rights would be subject to a $500 fine per day for each incident. Sen. Steve Jarvis (R-Davidson) said, “No patient in NC should be forced to remain alone & separated from

family while undergoing major medical treatment & no patient should die alone, nor should their surviving family members be forced to live with the knowledge that they did so. I am thankful for the passage of this bill and ensuring our state’s most vulnerable are protected.” The bill passed the Senate with a bipartisan vote of 49-0. It now goes to Gov. Roy Cooper for signature.

go overseas together. I certainly didn’t have any idea I’d be going to the Pacific. I knew Hazel a little bit because mother and daddy were friends to her parents.” Hazel was assigned to Europe and Bess was assigned to the Pacific. Bess began her service on the island of Hawaii at a Red Cross Rest Camp that had been established during World War I. “We had everything: a golf course and tennis courts. We had about 200 bicycles. All the men seemed to like to ride bikes. We had archery. And we’d take the men by van around the volcano and the bird park.” Every five days, five hundred men would arrive at the rest camp for fivedays of rest and relaxation. “We worked from 7 am to 10 pm,” said Bess. Every five days, a new group of men would arrive. “The men appreciated having a few days of rest. I didn’t realize it meant so much to them. They had such a poor life. Even when I was there, I knew it was rough. They would tell you a few things. But I didn’t realize it was quite as bad as it was.” By this time, Bess had received four promotions. She had “taken over as the head of the camp, seeing that it was all taken care of. I was over the Red Cross work, not the food,” she said. “It was a pretty big deal.” While working in Hawaii, Bess met her husband-to-be, Marriott Phifer who was a Kings Mountain native. Due to her duties, she didn’t see him much when he was at the camp. When asked if they dated in the Pacific, Bess replied, “When they told me they needed me to go to Guam, I got a week off. I spent a right smart time with Marriott that week.” While in Guam, Bess was assigned to a field hospital processing the troops who were freed from prison camps. “Most had spent four or five years as prisoners. And to see those fellows…” her voice trailed-off. “I stayed up all night trying to

process who they were, to gather a little information about them. “They looked like death standing, practically every one of them. I had seen a lot of wounded because at Guam I stayed at the field hospital. There were 200 – 300 doctors there. I ate the same places the men ate. In that hospital, all the wounded fellows were there. They couldn’t go home because they were waiting for transportation.” Bess was discharged on May 13, 1946. Six weeks later, on June 26, 1946, Bess Alice Hambright married Marriott Phifer in a double wedding at Antioch Baptist Church with sister, Lucy Hambright Kinard and her husband, James Herman Kinard. Marriott’s family belonged to Boyce Memorial Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, so they joined that congregation. She has now been a member for 75 years. Together, Bess and Marriott have four children: Dr. Reta Phifer, Doyt Phifer, Connie Savell, M.D. Phifer Jr., and one granddaughter, Lesley Phifer. Throughout her life, Bess Phifer held close to her faith. She never feared serving in the Red Cross, saying, “I wasn’t scared a bit. I felt like I was where I needed to be. I never felt like I shouldn’t have done this.” Last summer, Bess was interviewed by a representative from the Betty H Carter Women Veterans Historical Project UNC Greensboro Special Collections & University Archives to document her work in the American Red Cross during WW II. She wants most for her children to “stay close to the Lord.” When asked what got her through the difficult times of her life, Bess replied without hesitation, “I lean on the Lord all the time, every day. If you didn’t have him to lean on, you’d be in bad shape, wouldn’t you?”

From Page 1A Antioch Baptist Church, and she attended school in a one-room schoolhouse her mother founded. When Bess was just 12, she attended the one hundred- fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain. The year was 1931. President Herbert Hoover was the keynote speaker. Her mother had responsibilities during the celebration, so Bess and her siblings were free to wander. She remembers the throngs of people. “The President speech was good; I can remember seeing the speakers’ stand. Most of all,” she says, “I remember having the whole day free with all those people I didn’t know” While in her junior and senior years at Blacksburg Centralized High School, Bess played basketball and participated in class plays. In her senior year, she was a founding member of the very first Beta Club in the United States in 1934 1935. After high school, she attended Asheville college and earned a teaching degree. She taught 6th graders at Waco Graded School and coached their high school women’s basketball team. In the early part of World War II, Bess also took on work in the Shell Plant in Charlotte “making 40 mm shells. I inspected the little percussion cup to make sure it had powder in it. I did it at night on the third shift.” The plant went into operation on December 17, 1942 - just 10 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. With the war raging in Europe and the Pacific, Bess was about to face the biggest challenge of her life: serving in the American National Red Cross from 1943 until 1946. A co-worker at Waco suggested they apply for the American National Red Cross together. “When I got to Washington, Kings Mountain native Hazel Frye was there. I was in training with Hazel for six weeks. We thought we’d

COUNCIL From Page 1A by Annie Thombs. The vote was unanimous. Included in the consent agenda were several budget items. The first item was to budget funds for “Santa’s Workshop,” a high quality, standalone building to be used during the town’s Christmas event costing $65,000: $50,000 will be paid for by a TDA grant award and the other $15,000 is fund balance available due to significantly underspending 2020-2021 Special Events Budget. The second item was to add $30,000 to budget capital funds and a contingency for the library roof/gutter repairs. Final numbers were higher than preliminary estimates. The third item awarded a financing contract to United Financial Division of Home Trust in the amount of $465,306.11 with interest rate at 1.41% for the 2022 Jet Vac Truck.

Accident on I-85 causes backups in town by Loretta Cozart An accident on I-85 North near mile-marker 5 occurred on October 6 at 5:24 a.m. just below Kings Mountain Blvd. and backed up traffic in Kings Mountain for a large portion of the day. Northbound traffic was rerouted throughout the area. Traffic was routed onto Hwy. 216 and then onto

Dixon School Road, while other drivers took Hwy. 216 to Kings Mountain Blvd. to access I-85 North. Trucks and passenger vehicles drove bumper-tobumper on Battleground Avenue into Kings Mountain, with locals taking backroads to avoid the congestion. Interstate 85 North opened shortly after 3 p.m.

Not Too Young (Part 2 “Prepared for Eternity” Series) Living a long life is a blessing, especially when you’ve had DANYALE PATTERSON a chance to serve the Lord and spend time with several generations of your family members. Psalm 90:10a (NLT) states, “Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty.” Unfortunately, that will not be everyone’s testimony, as some people leave this earth at very young ages. Death doesn’t

discriminate between ethnic groups, age groups, or social-economic groups. It takes whoever it chooses and whenever it pleases. James 4:14 (CEV) says, “What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears.” Get Them Ready As parents or grandparents, our job is to teach children about who God is, what it means to have a relationship with Christ, and the importance of obedience to the scriptures. Deuteronomy 6:7 (NLT) says, “Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are

going to bed and when you are getting up”. It is imperative to let our youth know that they are not too young to have a surrendered life to the Lord. Ecclesiastes 12:1 (NLT) says, “Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.” Also, they need to learn the value of having an “others-centered” life of service and humility, as well as using their natural talents to glorify the Lord. I Stepped In Recently, I read a book about a 17-year-old girl named Angela who died a few years ago in a plane crash on her way to do ministry. She had spent her life teaching children about God

and leading people to Christ. Her father was distraught, as he dreaded to even look at the body. At that moment, someone called him in tears and told him that the previous night, in a dream Angela came to him and said, “Let my daddy know it didn’t hurt. I simply just stepped into Heaven.” A few weeks later one of the passengers who survived the accident described the last few minutes before the crash. He stated, “Angela was praying in the Spirit violently; then she just drooped over with her bible on her lap and was silent before the crash.” Wow! This teenager demonstrated that she knew how to pray and connect with God. In the last seconds of her life, she was full

of the Spirit and displayed a deep passion for her Savior. She was prepared for eternity - how about you? PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord, I don’t know the day or the hour when I will leave this place; I realize that my age doesn’t matter, so I want to be ready. Please forgive me for all unrighteousness. I ask you to be my Lord and Savior forever. Help me to live for you and to please you. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.” Danyale Patterson is cofounder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

Volleyball closing in on BS title

Good Cramer team here Friday for homecoming Kings Mountain will be having homecoming Friday night at Gamble Stadium, but the Mountaineers can’t afford to let the festivities take their focus off a very dangerous Stuart Cramer team. Cramer comes to town with two losses, but they were to very good teams and the Storm will come in with the goal of defeating the Mountaineers to strengthen their seeding for the upcoming state playoffs. Kings Mountain has to have the same mindset, because wins the next three Fridays could give them the Big South Conference championship and guarantee home games for the playoffs. “Cramer’s going to be just the opposite of what we’ve been seeing this year,” says Mountaineer Coach Greg Lloyd. “They are a passing team with one of the top quarterbacks (Justin Rocquemore) in the state. He is extremely mobile with a very quick release. “Their overall offense is very good,” Lloyd added, “and their defense has really improved. South Point just beat them by one touchdown and they were down just one going into the fourth quarter against Crest. No doubt, they will be ready. This will be a dog fight. “With the addition of another round, I expect both of us to be in the playoffs,” he added. “But we don’t want to go in with losses. Their losses were to two very good teams, and they will come in here with a lot of motivation.” Rocquemore, a junior, has been starting since his freshman year. Defensively, Lloyd said See CRAMER, Page 2B

17-point fourth quarter breaks tie, gives Mountaineers 24-7 win over Red Raiders For most of three quarters Friday night in Belmont’s Lineberger Stadium, it felt as though old rivals South Point and Kings Mountain may be going to overtime. A first half touchdown by each team had them tied at 7-all at the break but the Mountaineers used a good ground game, hard-hitting defense and a strong kicking attack to score 17 fourth quarter points and put the Raiders away 24-7. It was KM’s sixth straight win following an opening season loss to Shelby and kept them tied for first place in the Big South Conference with Crest. The Mountaineers showed their toughness on the game’s opening drive, moving 80 yards in 16 plays to eat almost eight minutes off the clock and score on a two-yard run of tackle by

whose final 56 knotted things up. The Mountaineers threatened to take the lead midway of the third quarter, driving from their own 38 to the South Point seven behind the running of Kendrick. But, South Point’s Micah Stowe intercepted a pass and returned it to the KM 42 yard line. “That was our only turnover and it was my fault,” KM Coach Greg Lloyd said. “That was not a good call.” South Point was able to make it to the KM 23, but a Jake Lloyd interception at the 1:28 mark turned the game in KM’s favor. With Kendrick and Thomas Feemster taking turns carrying the mail, the Mountaineers stayed on the ground except for the final play of the drive, a 10-yard pass to D’Andre Hoyle. The Mountaineers were flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct after the TD, but Jaden Ellis boomed a 42yard extra point to put KM up 14-7 with 11:34 left on the clock.

“That was a big extra point,” Lloyd said. “Ellis, our snapper Gabe Short and our holder Bryson Brown all did a great job.” The Mountaineer defense continued to make big plays. A 15-yard penalty on the Raiders and the first of two interceptions by Peyton Fisher basically put the win in the bag with 6:12 remaining. Three plays after the pick, Ellis split the uprights with a 43-yard field goal to run the score to 17-7 at the 4:46 mark. South Point was able to work the ball to the KM 35 and the Mountaineers put the win in the bag on just two plays – Alex Jackson’s sack and Fisher’s 63-yard pick six down the South Point sidelines. “We came up big in the second half,” Lloyd said. “I thought it was a gutsy effort. It was a big win at a tough place to play. “I thought our defense improved as the game went on, and the offensive line did a great job. We did a good job of taking care of the ball. “Fisher’s two interceptions were huge. We played really hard.”

JVs stop Raiders’ two-point try to remain unbeaten in Big South Their last two games have been nail-biters, but Kings Mountain High’s JV Mountaineers are still unbeaten in the Big South Conference following Thursday’s 7-6 win over a good South Point team at John Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers got by Forestview 6-0 a week earlier on a one-yard sneak by quarterback Kylei Anderson in Gastonia. And they took an early 7-0 lead over South Point Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium but had to stop a two-point conversion try by the Red Raiders for a 7-6 victory. It was their fifth straight win following an opening-season loss to the Shelby Lions. They travel to Stuart Cramer Thursday for a 7 p.m. kickoff. The Mountaineers and Red Raiders stopped each other on their first two possessions before the Mountaineers drove 63 yards in 10 plays to score on a 26yard run around left end by Kameron Adams. Max Thompson’s extra point for a 7-0 lead would eventually be the winner. Along the way, Adams carried the ball four times for 46 yards. Thomas Fair

and Zayvion Wilson also had big gains along the way. Each team got off some good drives during the night but couldn’t produce any points because of good defensive stops by the other side. Curtis Simpson’s pass interception gave KM a good scoring opportunity at the South Point 43. The Mountaineers were able to get the ball to the Raider 26 but an incompletion in the end zone gave possession back to the Raiders. The Raiders were moving late in the second quarter but big defensive plays by CJ Houser and Eli Lipscomb forced them to punt with 29.5 seconds on the clock. Lipscomb’s tackle for loss ended the Raiders’ first possession of the third period. A drive kept alive by an 18-yard reception by Ethan Guy and strong running by Fair, Anderson, Adams and Wilson kept the ball in KM’s possession until just 23 seconds remained in the third quarter. Backed up to their own six yard line, South Point’s Chance Ford rambled 42 yards to get the

Raiders out of the hole, and six plays later he went 23 yards right through the middle of the KM defense for a touchdown with 6:08 left in the game. The Raiders handed to him again for a two-point conversion attempt but he was smothered by a host of Mountaineer defenders and the score remained 7-6. Even though that eventually meant a KM win, the Mountaineers still had some shaky moments. Four plays later South Point recovered a fumble at the 50 but the KM defense stiffened and held them on downs at the KM 34. Anderson carried twice for 11 yards and a first down, allowing the Mountaineers to take a knee three times to run out the clock.

New grants for Half the city’s population has had COVID-19 early childcare programs By Loretta Cozart

Governor Roy Cooper visited and toured the Community School for People Under Six in Carr- GOV. COOPER boro where he announced an historic, one-time federal $805 million investment in North Carolina’s early care and learning child care programs. The North Carolina Child Care Stabilization Grants, made possible by funding from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, will support working families with access to high-quality, affordable child care. The grants will also help early care and

learning programs with recruitment and retention, enabling them to provide better wages and benefits to teachers, and promoting equity for all—children, parents, and teachers. Administered by NCDHHS’ Division of Child Development and Early Education, the application for Child Care Stabilization Grants application launches on Oct. 11. All private, licensed early care and learning programs are eligible to apply, including for-profit and not-for-profit, family childcare homes, and faithbased centers. To learn more about the grants and apply after Oct. 11, visit ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov.

According to NCDHHS, approximately half the population of Kings Mountain, or 5,049 people, have had Coronavirus. Since the pandemic began, 77 of those have died. As of October 8, Cleveland County showed 860 new COVID-19 cases during the prior 14 days. To date, 17,709 cases have been reported in the county and that accounts for 17.7% of the total population. Since the pandemic began, 295 total deaths have been reported in the county. Approximately 44% of county residents have been fully vaccinated, with 44% having had at least one dose. Average daily county transmission data shows that 77 people were admitted to the hospital daily in Cleveland County between September 21 and October 4. According to NCDHHS,

How to Find a Better Medicare Prescription Drug Plan

Dear Savvy Senior, Is it important to compare Medicare Part D prescription drug plans every year? My pharmacist highly recommends it, but it’s such a hassle sorting through all those different plans. Is there an easier way to shop and compare Medicare drug plans? Lazy Beneficiary Dear Beneficiary, Because Medicare’s prescription drug plans can change their costs and benefits from year-to-year, comparing Part D plans every year during the open enrollment season (which is Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) is always a smart idea.

Even if you’re happy with your current coverage, there may be other plans out there that you’re not aware of that offer better coverage at a lower cost. You never know until you look. Here are some tips to help you shop and compare Medicare drug plans. Medicare Online

If you have internet access and are comfortable using a computer, you can easily shop for and compare all Medicare drug plans in your area and enroll in a new plan online if you choose, and it only takes a few minutes.

Just go to Medicare’s Plan Finder Tool at Medicare.gov/find-a-plan, and choose the type of coverage you’re looking for, enter your ZIP code, financial assistance (if you receive any), select the drugs you take and their dosages, and choose the pharmacies you use. The plan finder does the math to identify the plan in your area that covers your drugs at the lowest cost. This tool also provides a five-star rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer service records and suggests generics or older brand name drugs that can reduce your costs. When you’re comparing drug plans, look at the estimated drug costs plus premium costs that shows how much you can ex-

pect to pay over a year in total out-ofpocket costs.

Also, be sure the plan you’re considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restrictions. Most drug plans today place the drugs they cover into price tiers. A drug placed in a higher tier may require you to get prior authorization or try another medication ﬁrst before you can use it. Any changes to coverage you make will take effect Jan. 1, 2022. If you take no action during open enrollment, your current coverage will continue next year. Need Some Help? If you need some help choosing a new plan, you can call Medicare at 800-6334227 and they can help you out over the phone. Or contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free Medicare counseling. They also conduct seminars during the open enrollment period at various locations throughout each state. To ﬁnd a

local SHIP counselor see ShiptaCenter. org or call 877-839-2675. Financial Assistance If you’re lower-income and are having a hard time paying your medication costs, you may be eligible for Medicare’s “Extra Help” program. This is a federal low-income subsidy that helps pay Part D premiums, deductibles and copayments. To be eligible, your income must be under $19,320 or $26,130 for married couples living together, and your assets (not counting your home, personal possessions, vehicles, life insurance policies or burial expenses) must be below $14,790 or $29,520 for married couples. For more information or to apply, call Social Security at 800-772-1213 or visit SSA. gov/extrahelp. 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.

Hall of Fame holds 2-year induction The Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame held its 33rd and 34th induction ceremony Saturday at Central United Methodist Church. Because of COVID 19, the 2020 event could not be held so the ’20 and ’21 classes were honored on the same night. Joining the 2020 class were the 1999 KMHS track team that finished second in the state 3-A championship; former Mountaineer football standouts Joseph Bell and Jim Medlin, WNCHSAA tennis champion Tim Riddle, KMHS and Western Carolina University star pitcher David Ray Robinson, KMHS and Lenoir-Rhyne four-sport standout Diane Williams, and KMHS basketball star Marquiz Williamson. The 2021 class included the winningest coach in KM Middle School history Monty Deaton, KM’s only female East-West all-star game representative Trina Hamrick, and former NC State All-American and now professional baseball

standout Will Wilson. Wilson could not be in attendance because he is competing in a fall league with the professional San Francisco Giants. His award was accepted by his father, Brad, who was a Hall of Fame inductee in 2016 following an outstanding golf career in the collegiate ranks. Retired KMHS principal Julie Rikard and John Gamble were recipients of the Distinguished Service Awards. Hall of Fame scholarship recipients from the past two school years were recognized. The Hall of Fame committee will begin working on next year’s ceremony in early 2022. Normally, it is held on the Saturday night before Mother’s Day. Committee members are Dale Hollifield, Steve Baker, Jay Rhodes, Lucille Williams, Diron Bell, David Bolton, Ed Guy, Katherine Hicks, Paul Ingram, Terry McClain, Curtis Pressley, Larry Sipe and Gary Stewart.

Anthony Ash accepts the Hall of Fame Award for the 1999 KMHS men’s track and field team which won the conference and regional championships and finished second in the state 3A meet just four points behind the winner.
