3.1 million gallons of untreated wastewater spilled into Potts Creek By Loretta Cozart A statement released by the City of Kings Mountain gave notice that it “had a discharge of untreated wastewater of an estimated amount of 3.1 million gallons between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm on February 7. The affected area was Potts Creek near Stoney Point Road and Tiara Drive in Kings Mountain. The untreated wastewater was discharged into tributaries of Potts Creek.” “The Division of Water Resources responded to the event on February 7, and determined the cause was due to experiencing torrential rain that eroded the creek bank causing damage to five sections of terracotta pipe. NC Department of Environmental Quality was notified of the spill,” the press release stated.

Patterson Free Youth Vaping Epidemic Grove Community Forum March 12th fundraiser breakfast
SHELBY, NC – The Cleveland County Public Health Center in partnership with the Cleveland County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition will host a Youth Vaping Prevention Community Forum on March 12 as part of their continued work to help alleviate the impact of youth vaping in Cleveland County. According to the 2019 Pride Survey, 35.3% of 12th grade students and 30.3% of 9th grade students in Cleveland County have used an e-cigarette in the past 30 days. This is more than triple the number of students that reported using traditional tobacco products in the past 30 days. DeShay Oliver, spokesperson for the Cleveland County Public Health Center, shares, “Research shows teens who use e-cigarettes are far more likely to begin using traditional
tobacco products in the future than those who do not use e-cigarettes. We have made great progress in reducing the prevalence of tobacco use among youth. There is a great concern than the use of e-cigarettes will begin to reverse the overall downward trend in tobacco use.” State and local public health professionals, parents and youth will speak about youth vaping trends, prevention and treatment resources available in the community, current efforts to help alleviate the issue, and what others can do to get involved. A local teen and his mother will tell their personal story about how vaping almost cost them everything. “A Juul pod, the cartridge that holds the e-liquid in a Juul vaping device, contains the same amount of nicotine as 1.5 – 2 packs of cigarettes. With some youth
using multiple pods a day, the amount of nicotine they are consuming is alarming, and can lead to not only extreme nicotine addiction, but also physical and behavioral health issues,” says Oliver. Participants will have the opportunity to pose questions to a panel of professionals from the public health, healthcare and tobacco prevention and cessation fields. Light refreshments will be served. Registering in advance is encouraged by calling 980-484-5335 or e-mailing jamie.todd@clevelandcounty.com. The Youth Vaping Prevention Community Forum will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2020 at The LeGrand Center, 1800 E Marion St., Shelby, NC 28152. Check-in and refreshments 5:30 – 6:00 pm. The program is 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

notify DEQ and send a press release or ad to a newspaper, leaves much of the public out of the loop.” Carson encourages members of the public to go to www.mountaintrue.org to sign a petition calling for an updated spill notification system. “An improved notification system would help ensure that this critical data gets to the people that most need to know when the river has elevated pollution levels,” he said. According to Carson, this current system has several flaws. “Many people no longer get news from their local print newspaper, and many newspapers in Western North Carolina are published only on a weekly or bi-weekly basis,” he says. “That means river users can be exposed to major pollution problems for days before learning about spills in the paper. Plus,
there’s no guarantee that newspapers will even publish the press releases about pollution spills.” MountainTrue works in 26 counties is the home of the French Broad Riverkeeper, the primary protector and defender of the French Broad River watershed, and the Watauga Riverkeeper, the primary watchdog and spokesperson for the Elk and Watauga Rivers. In 2015, David Caldwell became the Coordinator for the Broad River Alliance, a Waterkeeper Affiliate and program of MountainTrue. He has teamed up with regional representatives from the Broad River Greenway, Rutherford Outdoor Coalition, Rutherford County and Cleveland County Development Authorities and others to protect and promote the waters of the Broad River basin.

The Struggle for Freedom: The Life of Dr. King The Cleveland County Arts Council is pleased to bring Bright Star Touring Theatre, a national professional touring theatre company based in Asheville, NC, to Graham Elementary School with their acclaimed show The Struggle for Freedom: The Life of Dr. King. Struggle for Freedom: The Life of Dr. King is an inspiring production that has received nationwide acclaim and seeks to honor the American Civil Rights Movement. The life and work of Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. provides the backdrop to scenes that recreate the Mont-
gomery bus boycott, the March on Washington, the Woolworth Sit-ins and much more. With excerpts of famous speeches, Civil Rights era songs and a variety of characters this moving 45-minute production has been hailed as one of ‘the finest touring shows available for young audiences. Struggle for Freedom: The Life of Dr. King is presented as a living history program in which the audience gets a wide-angle view of the life of Dr. King and his many contributions - from his early days as a minister to his
work to bring equality to all Americans. Racism, segregation and the tension between races can all be very challenging issues to understand and hear about as a student. Struggle for Freedom: The Life of Dr. King seeks to bring important material to life while being sensitive to the difficulty younger audiences may have with comprehending the material. We hope this production inspires many great conversations and questions. The program will take place in the Graham Elementary School Audito-
rium, 1100 Blanton St., Shelby, on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 6:00 pm. It is free for the community. Bright Star Touring Theatre serves more than 1000 audiences annually with a variety of programs ranging from Frederick Douglass to Aesop’s Fables. The company is committed to providing professional theatre to audiences at an affordable and all-inclusive rate. Information about all the shows touring this season, including production videos, photos, study guides and more is available online at www.brightstartheatre.com.

Lafar Native American village
May speaks at KM Historical Museum By Loretta Cozart On Saturday, February 22 at 2 pm Dr. J. Alan May spoke to attendees at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum regarding the Lafar Site: A Late Woodland Village on the South Fork of the Catawba. Dr. May is the Research Coordinator and Curator of Archaeology for the Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia. The initial archaeological survey of this pre-contact Native American site began
in 1985 with series of backhoe trenches and intensive surface collections based on the knowledge of local artifact collectors dating back to the 1950s. UNC-Charlotte Archaeological Field Schools were conducted at the site as well as volunteer sessions from the Schiele Museum and the site is referred to as 31GS30. Most items dug at the site were of pottery, but chipped stone tools were also found. Rare artifacts discovered include two cold-hammered and rolled copper beads and
one finely polished disk shaped “chunky stone” that may link the prehistoric inhabitants of the LaFar site with Mississippian culture in general and specifically to the South Appalachian Mississippian Native American culture known for mound-building. When asked if this site might be linked to the Joara site in Burke County, Dr. May said they have found no artifacts at Lafar that indicating the inhabitants interacted with the party of Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Wednesday, February 26, 2020
Believe you can and you’re halfway there. –Theodore Roosevelt
Pieces of Kings Mountain History Article contributed by Hayne Neisler
Kings Mountain in the early LORETTA 1930s was COZART a town struggling to overcome the Great Depression that had gripped the entire nation. The city’s textile mills were the main source of income for nearly 90% of the families who lived here. The largest employer in Kings Mountain was Neisler Mills, Inc. who employed over 1200 workers at its three plants in the city, the Pauline, Patricia and Margrace mills. The mill owners in town soon realized that in order to remain open and profitable the textile plants here needed to operate on a 24-hour schedule, the cost of start and stopping equipment was just too prohibitive. Kings Mountain’s textile leaders only had to look at nearby Gaston county where, in 1931, twenty-two cotton mills merged to form one large organization, Textiles Incorporated. This merger was heralded by textile leaders in Gastonia as a way to eliminate excessive price cutting between the rival mills and allow cot-
ton yarn prices maintain a profitable price. Quickly the merger began to unravel after these combined mills were only able to operate one shift daily and equipment stood idle for much of the workday. The Textiles Incorporated corporation which had been heralded with such hope and fanfare only months prior was forced into bankruptcy in 1933, thereby throwing thousands and thousands of mill employees out of work. Mr. Paul Neisler, Sr., Treasurer of Neisler Mills., pondered a way to staff the three Neisler plants here for an around the clock, twenty-four-hour three shift schedule. The main problem as he saw it was to get workers, many of whom had no cars or had lost them to creditors during the Depression, a way to physically get to the mills, especially at night-time and during bad weather. While traveling with his wife Kathyrn and their three sons, Paul Jr., Henry, and Charles to the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair he had an inspiration. Mr. Neisler was impressed by the semi-trailer buses which transported
the fair patrons from the massive parking lots at the fairgrounds and delivered all of them quickly and safely to main grounds of the World Exposition. Arriving back in Kings Mountain he contacted the Charlotte Power and Brake Company in Charlotte and described to them a bus he wanted built specifically for Neisler Mills. For a price of $6,500 Depression dollars the Charlotte Power and Brake Company delivered in November 1933 a fifty-two-passenger bus. The new bus was decorated with the dark green, gold and white colors of the Southern Railway. The Gastonia Gazette on November 7,1933 wrote the following article, ‘’ Kings Mountain - The Neisler Mills of this city last week put into operation perhaps the largest semi-trailer passenger bus so far built in the Carolinas. It was built in Charlotte by the Power and Brake Company.” “Although the bus has a capacity of more than fifty passengers it weighs only 7 1/2 tons. Its power plant consists of a light tractor capable of pulling at about 35 miles per hour. The bus operates many times

The Neisler Mills have the distinction of being pioneers in this new idea which because of its low cost of building and operating and its convenience for the employees has already attracted the attention of mill owners throughout the Carolinas.” Mr. Hayne Neisler, who worked many years at his grandfather’s textile plant in Shelby, Dicey Mills, recalls how many of Dicey’s older workers who had previously worked in Kings Mountain at Neisler Mills spoke very fondly of the company bus and how nice it was to have a safe, dry way to get to work. Along with his twin brother David, Hayne is a family historian of the Neisler family and its tex-

in Mt. Holly but grew up in Kings Mountain and is a graduate of Kings Mountain High school in the class of 1964. ‘’ Bonita is a very talented artist and was the main colorist at Dicey Mills in our printing operation for nearly twenty years. I knew if anyone could tackle this See PIECES, Page 7A

Nursing Home Care – a national issue About 1.5 million American seniors now live in nursing homes. Glenn Mollette Seventy Guest Editorial percent (70%) of them rely on Medicaid to pay the bill, which means they are low-income or have otherwise spent down their assets. My mother spent the last few months of her life in a nursing home. My first wife died in a nursing home. My wife’s mother spent a lot of time in nursing homes. Today, I have elderly friends in nursing homes who I try to occasionally go and see. It’s the same old story. I continue to see a multitude of lonely, forgotten people who have been warehoused in facilities until they breathe their last breath.

Placing my wife in a nursing home was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. She was in the final stages of multiple sclerosis and needed 24-hour care which I couldn’t physically give. However, looking back, emotionally and even physically, I don’t think I would have been as drained if I had just kept her at home and tried to have cared for her. Nursing homes are exhausting. You think at the time it’s the only answer, but then you are there numerous hours every day trying to make sure your loved one is not being neglected. In today’s nursing homes the chances are great they will be neglected because the average nursing home cannot keep enough staff to take care of everyone. One worker told me once she was in charge of taking care of 60 persons every night. She said oftentimes there would be

people she never saw on her shift. Nursing home care cost is astronomical. Just a bed, three meals a day and an occasional bath will cost you around $7,500 a month. My mother-in-law needed rehabilitation. Three years ago, her cost was over $15,000 a month for four months. My father-inlaw shelled out $60,000 of their life savings for rehab. They had worked hard to save that money, but you can’t take it with you. However, most people don’t intend to work all of their lives so that they can turn their savings over to a nursing home. Nursing homes are not a relief emotionally or physically and financially they will break you. Most Americans end up paying for their nursing home care via Medicaid.

■ MEDITATION
Exiles and the Word This month we have considered Daniel’s life as an exile in Babylon long ago. He was a young man when carried away from Jerusalem with several others at the Rev. command of King Rob Patrick, Pastor Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar’s Boyce Memorial ARP idea was to take the best and brightest young noblemen of conquered nations to train for service in his kingdom. This would not only strengthen his own empire, but also weaken conquered nations, thus reducing the likelihood of rebellion.
Young exiles seduced by the culture and prosperity of Babylon could become very useful propagandists! Daniel remained in exile so long that he outlasted the Babylonian empire! When the Medo-Persian empire overwhelmed Babylon, he began serving its rulers, Darius and Cyrus. Despite serving two world empires over a period of more than seventy years, Daniel never forgot where and to Whom he belonged. He never ceased praying for Jerusalem; his heart’s desire was for the restoration of faithful worship of God in His temple. Praying for this protected Daniel’s heart so that he remained undefiled in his devotion
to the LORD. But, how did Daniel know for what he should pray? After all those decades of exile, how did his hope not fade? For that matter, how do Christians, whom 1 Peter calls “sojourners and exiles,” know what to pray when we grow weary, or discouraged? How do we maintain hope in difficult circumstances, and remain undefiled in our devotion to the LORD? When Daniel prayed, he wasn’t wishing upon a star for fanciful notions. He confessed sin and claimed promises from God’s word. In fact, Daniel 9:2 indicates a prayer motivated by diligent reading of the prophecy of Jeremiah. That same prayer references God’s word to Moses, the prophets, and His promises to Solomon in 2 Chronicles 7! When weary and perhaps discouraged after decades in exile, Daniel
didn’t give up praying, and he knew for what to pray because He knew the word of God and trusted His faithfulness! The life of the exile can still be wearying, discouraging, and even disorienting! Do you know how to pray and for what to pray when you are overwhelmed? God’s word has warnings and promises that should shape our prayers! The Bible is filled with prayers we can appropriate for ourselves, because God has promised in 1 John 5:14, “…if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” Do you want to know and pray for God’s will? Read and study His word! The Bible orders not only our lives and our hope; it orders our prayers! Praying God’s word keeps exiles’ hearts fixed on Him!

■ LIFESTYLES

(L-R): Daniel Nivens, center, with Gastonia Post 23 Commander, John Ackles, on the left and Post 23 Adjutant, Tony Sherrill, on the right.
Nivens wins American Legion Division 5 Oratorical Competition By Loretta Cozart Five students participated the American Legion Division 5 Oratorical Competition held at the Otis D. Green American Legion Post 155 in Kings Mountain on Feb. 22 at 11 am. Winning the competition was Daniel Nivens, sponsored by Post 23 in Gastonia, a student at Gaston Christian School. Upon graduation, he would like to attend the University of Notre Dame and study to be a constitutional lawyer. Last year, Nivens was selected as one of two North Carolina Boys State representatives to attend Boys Nation and spent a week in Washington DC learning about Government, meeting lawmakers and the President.
The second-place winner was Joseph Watson, sponsored by Post 29 in Lenoir, who hopes to attend Princeton, study neuroscience, and become a medical doctor. Third place winner was Maggie McBrayer, sponsored by pot 423, a student at Thomas Jefferson Academy who wants to attend Wake Forest University to study law. Jeremy Heidenfelder, sponsored by Post 122, is homeschooled. He has been accepted at Appalachian State University and will study geology and biology and become a paleontologist. Keanu Ammons, sponsored by Post 104, attends Tuskasegee Early College. Each contestant received $200 for their participation.
Daniel Nivens will represent NC American Legion Division Five in the Dept. of North Carolina State Oratorical Competition, on Mar. 7 in Pinehurst at Sand Hills Community College at noon. Nivens will receive $1,000 for his participation in that event. If he wins there, he gets another $2,500 and progresses to National Competition in Indianapolis. Judges for the competition were Brian McGill, Shirley Thompson, Joyce Orlando, Marge Hooper, and Monica Lockwood. Contest moderators were Jim McGill, Division 5 Commander, and Alan Mainer, District 24 Commander.
Who is this? For those who love history, there are two films about Kings Mountain recorded by H. Lee Waters that include hundreds of KM residents and locations. One film was shot between 1938 and 1940. The other was made in 1942. Kings Mountain Fire Department protected these two records of our history for many years. Now, copies are available at. https:// www.digitalnc.org/ thanks to the work at Duke University to preserve Waters’ work. Follow the link and search by Water’s name and
Kings Mountain to watch both films. In the 1930s and 1940s, North Carolinian photographer Herbert Lee Waters traveled the state filming people and places in a project he dubbed “Movies of Local People.” Waters arrived in different communities with his car clearly labeled, handed out a small sheet of paper to explain his purpose, and then proceeded to take shots of everyday life. Over 250 films were produced, many held at Duke University and the State Archives of North
Carolina. As time passes, the names associated with the recorded faces become less and less familiar. To preserve those memories, the Herald will share images and ask readers who recognize the individual to share that information with Loretta Cozart at lhcozart@ cccom.com. This week’s persons were featured in the 1938 to 1940 film. Here, two boys who appear to be twins, were standing outside Central School.

Town and Country Garden Club The Town and Country Garden Club met on February 13th at the Patrick House. Members shared a covered dish dinner with each other. The meeting was opened with The Club Collect. Susan Gibson, club treasurer, gave a treasurer’s report. Mrs. Gibson reminded everyone to save caps from hairspray cans to use for their therapy
project in December. Teresa Fulton reminded everyone that the Cabin Fever Garden Symposium is March 7th at Cleveland Community College. Connie Bell gave a program on the Lenten Rose. The Hellebores usually appears during the religious season of Lent. This year, Ash Wednesday is on February 26th. Many gardens are flourishing with the
colors of purple, red, yellow, blue, lavender and pink. The plants were first found in southern and Central Europe. Some ancient writings indicate that Lenten roses were used in witchcraft and medicine. When you plant, don’t crowd them. Cut the leaves as they die. The only negative about these flowers are they have no fragrance and the flowers
droop downward. You can plant in fall or late spring. Blooms can last 8 – 10 weeks. They are a perfect ground cover in the shade. Mulch is all they need. They do not require any fertilizer. Most plants will “self-sow”. The next meeting will be March 12th. The meeting was adjourned.

CARE
and many, many hardworking, caring nurses. There are some really bad ones out there too and they are all extremely expensive. All the time we hear about Americans being medically insured. What about long-term care insurance for aging Americans? Our nation is getting older. The baby boomers are a large chunk of our population – 75 million! Baby boomers are going to face bankruptcies and mega-financial challenges, as is this nation, with the long-term care of our generation. Our politicians must come up with a longterm care plan that doesn’t require the financial ruin of millions of Americans. I know
long-term care insurance is available if you are not sick and can afford it. However, somehow we have to add long-term care insurance to Medicare. Yes, it will cost us every month to pay for it just like we are paying for part B now. However, it would be for real medical care in the nursing home with real rehabilitation if it is needed; and not just for a bed and three meals a day and an occasional bath. Plus, it would spare the elders in this nation from having to file bankruptcy and go into poverty to have a shelter over their heads the last few months or even years of their lives. Please America, add this issue to the national discussion!
From Page 4A as it means, in reality, you no longer have any means to pay for your care. Twenty years ago, I was the pastor of a church with a small salary and financially we didn’t have anything except a house payment. Going to the local county office for health and family services and applying for Medicaid for nursing home care for the care of my invalided, dying wife was tough. It was our last resort. We were glad it was available but it was emotionally tough. It’s the same office where you go and apply for food stamps. There are some good nursing homes out there

PIECES
Neisler took in the 1930s,’’ Hayne states. ‘’Bonita used this photo as a model for her work. I think she did a fantastic job.’’ What happened to the bus? Hayne says, ‘’The bus was used every day in the 1930s and also during World War II in the 1940s with the strict gas rationing that was in effect. I believe around the early 1950s it was discontinued. When Neisler Mills was sold in
1955 , I believe the new owners stored it in a warehouse at the mill. The last time I saw it was in the late 1970s when I saw it in a field behind Bunch, Inc. on Grover Road.

Bingham speaks on Washington's southern tour By Loretta Cozart The Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter hosted a presentation by Warren Bingham during its monthly chapter meeting at Central United Methodist Church in Kings Mountain on Feb. 22 at 11:30 am. Bingham spoke on the life of George Washington, focusing on his southern tour. Regent Libby Putnam introduced Bingham, saying that he had once lived in Kings Mountain. His wife, Laura Carpenter Bingham, is a Kings Mountain native who served as the president of Peace College. Bingham shared that George Washington was a man who "loved card games, Madeira wine, dancing, and horse racing. He was a land speculator, a proponent of crop rotation, and the father of the mule in America.
military officer his best way off of the plantation.”
Warren Bingham addresses DAR members and guests regarding President George Washington’s southern tour. Photo by Loretta Cozart Washington's father died when he was young, so he considered serving as a
Washington kept detailed notes in his diary on everything he did, from crop rotation to details on places he visited. He didn't embellish with personal opinion and stayed to the facts. "George Washington was strong physically and mentally," Bingham said. "He wanted smart people around him, and he always tried to improve himself. Washington made mistakes in his life, but he learned from them and didn't repeat that same mistake twice." President Washington struck out from Philadelphia for his Southern tour on Mar. 21, 1791. The three-and-onehalf month trip took him on the King's Highway down the coast of North Carolina along what is now NC 17. He arrived in Wilmington, NC, with much fanfare.

idential administration, and District Court, that he coined in Salisbury after witnessing court proceedings there. On his way back to Philadelphia, Washington stopped near what is now Washington, DC, and persuaded landholders there to donate land for the nation's new capital city. He was given a small window of time to complete this task, which he did at the conclusion of his southern tour. Had he not been successful, the location for the new capital would have reverted to Philadelphia. Bingham's presentation was filled with interesting facts and tidbits, sprinkled throughout with humor that kept the audience of 75 engaged. After concluding his speech, Bingham held a question and answer session, followed by a book signing of his most recent work, George Washington's 1791 Southern Tour.

horses rode along the ocean in what is present-day Myrtle Beach. Washington made a note in his diary of the beauty of the place. From there, he traveled to Charleston, SC, where a Presidential Ball was held in his honor. "Washington knew that his role as president would pave the way for future presidents. He often rode in his carriage but would take to his mount, riding his white horse as he entered cities. He recognized what a visual impact doing so had upon those he visited," Bingham shared. On his way back to Philadelphia, Washington entered NC near what is today Pineville. He visited at the home of Thomas Polk in Charlotte before traveling on to Salisbury. Bingham shared that Washington was no wordsmith, but he is credited with coining three phrases: towpath (a road or trail on the bank of a river, canal, or other inland waterways), pres-

Patriots win East, in conference playoffs Kings Mountain Middle’s boys basketball team finished off an undefeated Tri-County East Division season last Wednesday with a 44-29 victory over the Wildcats of Lincolnton. The Patriots were scheduled to host the Crest Dragons yesterday in the opening round of the conference championship playoffs. The championship game will be played
Thursday. KM got a good allaround performance to turn back a good Lincolnton squad. Bryson Brown got the Patriots going with a lay-up to tie the score at 2-all, then Curtis Simpson’s put-back gave the Patriots a 4-2 lead. Zavian Smith’s steal and lay-up increased the margin to 6-2 after the first quarter.
Qua Sanders and Jack Toney accounted for eight of KM’s 16 points in the second quarter for a 22-10 halftime lead. Nic Cole kept the Pats going in the third as he scored seven points to help KM extend its lead to 36-21 going into the final period. Simpson led the winners with his second double-double of the year, 12
points and 13 rebounds. Zavian Smith scored nine points on 4 for 8 shooting and had five rebounds and three steals. Cole had seven points, eight rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots, Jack Toney six points, Sanders four points and a block, Brown four rebounds, three assists, five steals and a blocked shot, and Micah Ward two points.
KM had 34 rebounds, 10 assists and six blocked shots. On Tuesday of last week, the Patriots clinched the East Division title with a 69-40 win over East Lincoln. KM’s full court 1-3-1 press got them off to a hot start, scoring seven straight lay-ups to grab a 14-5 lead. Zavian Smith had five assists during the run as he hit Nic Cole for the first points
of the game, and then came back to see a sprinting Micah Ward for another score. Smith also hit Curtis Simpson and Bryson Brown with passes as all five starters scored during the period to take a 25-12 lead. The second quarter saw KM extend its lead to 21 points as Qua Sanders, See PATRIOTS, Page 2B

Both Kings Mountain High varsity basketball teams ended their regular season last week with second round losses in the Big South Conference tournament, but the Mountaineers qualified for the state 3A tournament as the #28 seed and were scheduled to go to Hunter Huss for an opening round game last night. The Lady Mountaineers, who finished with a 10-16 overall record and third place in the BSC, fell to Forestview 56-45 Wednesday after defeating Crest 68-47 in the opening round on Monday night. The Mountaineers, who finished 12-14 overall and fourth place in the BSC, won their opening round match over Ashbrook 70-47 but then fell to BSC champion Huss 75-64 in the second round. The KM girls, with only one senior on the team, were much better than their overall record indicates. Their non-conference schedule was the toughest of any school in the conference and their overall strength of schedule was ranked #1 in the Big South. Kings Mountain led all the way in defeating Crest in the first round. Sophomore standout Saniya Wilson had a spectacular night with 30 points, seven steals, four rebounds and four assists. KM led 25-6 after one period, 38-19 at the half and 48-37 going into the fourth quarter. Freshman Khalia King scored 15 points, had five steals and two rebounds, and the team’s only senior, Essence Houser, added eight points, eight boards and two assists. Kennedy Barnes had six points and six rebounds. Rounding out the scoring

Vanesa Petty led Crest with 17 points. KM got another big game from Wilson in the
second round but Forestview put forth a more balanced attack to win 56-45. Wilson finished with 20 points, six rebounds and three assists. King also sored double figures with 11, and brought down three re-
bounds. Barnes had eight points and five rebounds and Houser six points and four boards. Forestview’s 6-4 junior forward Jimena Vezquez had a big night with 22 points and 15 rebounds. See PLAYOFFS, Page 2B

We hope our citizens will use the facility and enjoy it.”
PATRIOTS From 1B Jayden Byers and Jack Toney combined for 11 points. KM continued its full court trapping defense in the third period, doubling East 16-7 to take a 30 point lead. All five KM starters scored in the quarter along with Bradely Floyd.

BEYOND THE GAME FELLOWSHIP OF
PLAYOFFS From Page 1B Dajah Miller added 12 points and Kianna Robinson 10. KM coach Nicholas Inman had nothing but praise for his ladies who are laying the groundwork for a big year next season. “I am extremely proud of the growth that we showed this season,” he said. “We had only three players with varsity experience, and only one senior” (Essence Houser, who will be attending Johnson and Wales University to study culinary arts and play basketball). “Saniya Wilson is one of the top ranked players in the state for the Class of 2022,” he added. “She had a fantastic season, averaging 20.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.6 steals per game.

She will likely be named to the All District team. “We often started two freshmen each game. Khalia King – a name to watch in the coming years – averaged 10.4 points per game and Alayna Patrick is an unbelievably hard working player. “Kennedy Barnes made a big leap forward this season. New comers to the varsity team, junior Daraniah Chambers, sophomores Andrea Melton, Monica Head, Brooke Ferree, Marlee Arnold and Jacie Jarvis, and freshman Tyasya Bell and CoRey Simpson made great growth as they are learning the game at the varsity level. “This was a great group of girls to coach, both on and off the court. We as a coaching staff (Inman, Darrel Wilson and Haley Blanton) are so proud of these girls. They represent Kings Moun-
tain in all the right ways.” The Mountaineers stayed with the loaded Huskies for most of their semi-final game, but Huss outscored them 22-13 in the fourth quarter to win going away. The Huskies led by just 19-15 after one quarter, 38-36 at the half and 53-51 going into the final chapter. Balanced scoring was the difference for Huss as Dontavius Nash led all scorers with 21 points. Rasheem Hughes scored 20 and Isaiah Tate 14 for the Mountaineers. Kings Mountain had little trouble disposing of Ashbrook 70-47 in the opening round. KM used a 15-2 run to end the first half to basically put the game away. Isaiah Tate led the scoring with 14 points. Zeke Cannedy added 13 and Greg Brockington 12.
yards and 14 touchdowns. He had three games with over 100 yards receiving. Ussery was a threat to go all the way on every kickoff, and he was also a terror at safety on defense. He recorded 66 solo tackles, intercepted two passes and blocked several punts including one for a safety that got the Mountaineers
going in a third round state playoff win at AC Reynolds. Both players plan to play football in college. Two Cleveland County coaches – David Devine of Burns and Nick Eddins of Crest – will be on the West coaching staff.

Strength Training Tips For Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve fallen several times over the past year and my doctor has recommended that I start a strength-training program to help prevent future falls. But at age 72, I’ve never lifted weights before and could use some help. What can you tell me? Looking for Help Dear Looking Weak leg muscles and poor balance are two of the biggest factors that cause seniors to fall. Most people, after age 40 lose about one percent of their muscle mass each year, which really adds up over time. But study after study has shown that it’s never too late to rebuild muscle through strength training. Regular resistance or strength training can help you build muscle strength, increase your bone density and improve your balance, coordination and stamina, and will help prevent falls. It can also help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions too like arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, back pain, depression and obesity. And some studies even show
that it helps improve cognitive function too. Here are some simple ways to help you get stronger.
Getting Started After you get your doctor’s okay, consider working with a professional trainer or physical therapist for a few sessions to help you develop a safe and effective routine you can continue on your own. Or go to GrowingStronger. Nutrition.Tufts.edu for a free program from Tufts University in Boston and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Also see Go4Life.NIA.NIH.gov, a resource created by the National Institute on Aging that offers a free exercise guide that provides illustrated examples of exercises you can do at home to strengthen your body. You can order your free copies online or by calling 800-222-2225. To improve your strength you have to keep stressing your muscles, so you’ll need to exercise at least two or three days a week for 30 to 45 minutes, and increase resistance and the number of
repetitions over time. But be sure you give your muscles a day off between workouts. It makes the muscle stronger and more able to resist future injury.
Equipment If you work out at home you’ll probably need to invest in some equipment. While some strength training can be done using your own body weight (like push-ups, sit-ups and leg squats), hand weights, ankle weights, medicine balls, resistance bands or rubber tubing, are all great tools for strength training. You can find all these products at sporting goods stores, or online at Amazon.com for around $10 or less. Cans of soup, water bottles or plastic milk containers filled with water or sand can also be used (like small hand weights) for resistance. Senior Classes If you don’t like exercising alone consider joining a gym, or call your local senior center to see if they offer any strength training exercise classes. You should also check out SilverS-
neakers (SilverSneakers.com, 888423-4632) or Silver&Fit (SilverandFit. com, 877-427-4788), two fitness programs offered in thousands of fitness centers, gyms and YMCAs throughout the U.S. that offer special classes designed for older adults. These programs are available for free to seniors that have certain Medicare supplemental policies or Medicare Advantage plans. Aerobic and Balance Exercises Some other good fall-prevention exercises that can help you get stronger include aerobic activities like walking, cycling or water aerobics. And to improve your balance there’s Tai chi, along with a number of simple balance exercises that you can do anytime like standing on one foot for 30 seconds then switching to the other foot, and walking heel-to-toe across the room. 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.

we are taking a proactive approach and are prepared for potential scenarios,” said Governor Cooper. “This task force will continue coordination between our agencies and federal partners so we can keep the public informed and safe.” Currently, DHHS is working with local health departments and clinicians to evaluate any potential cases and coordinate care and testing as needed. Working closely with the CDC, the department is coordinating health information sharing as this situation continues to evolve. North Carolina has not had any confirmed cases of the virus. The task force agencies will continue coordinating communications with local entities through the Department of Public Safety and its NCEM division’s traditional channels as needed. The risk to the general public in North Carolina, especially without history of travel to China, is still considered very low at this time. Re-
