Recycling suspended Effective April 1, 2020, the City of Kings Mountain will suspend residential and commercial recycling collection. The primary factor for this change is the decreased market demand for raw recyclable materials, such as plastic, glass, and paper. Processing countries, such as China and others are no longer purchasing these materials. On Monday, March 30
(Route 1), City crews will begin collecting the blue recycle containers from the road after the recyclables are collected, and this process will continue thru Thursday, April 9 (Route 9 & 10). From this point forward all recyclable materials should be bagged and placed in your green refuse container for collection on the scheduled day for gar-
bage pick-up. Those who wish to continue recycling can carry the sorted recyclables, paper, plastic, and aluminum to the County Dump Site at 615 Margrace Road and place them in the appropriate bin. If you have any questions please contact the Public Works Department at (704)734-0735.

Athitang publishes first book By Loretta Cozart On January 23, Myla Athitang, a senior at Kings Mountain High School, published her first book, Annalise: Twenty Years Everlasting. The book came about as part of her senior project and a lifelong goal to write a book. “This is really a coming-of-age story for Clyde, an eight-year-old boy, and his friend, Annalise. I don’t want to give too much of the story away,” Myla said. “Clyde sees things in an abstract way, while most children see things in a very concrete way. Annalise helps him cope during a difficult time in his life. After leaving town, Clyde returns 20 years later only to find Annalise has disappeared” This book isn’t Myla’s first publication. Last year Myla collaborated with Reverend Swofford to illus-

Free Youth Vaping Epidemic Community Forum March 12 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 See VAPING, Page 7A

KM Community Lenten Services Community Lenten services are continuing through April 1. Theme: The ‘I Am’
Mary Louise Baker Dr. Mary Louise (Gehring) Baker passed away Sunday, February 9, 2020. She was born in Oakdale, LA on March 21, 1922 to the Rev. Francis and Voss Gehring. Mary Louise graduated Baylor University in 1943, received her Master of Arts from Louisiana State University in 1949, and then her Ph.D also from Louisiana State University in 1952. She served in the United States Coast Guard from 1944 to 1947, as an Education Specialist while stationed in Japan. After her return from service, she began her career in academia, where she excelled and enhanced the education of many lives for 30 years. She worked at Auburn University, the University of Southern Mississippi, State University of Iowa, Stetson University, the University of Wisconsin, Westhampton College of the University of Richmond, and at Baylor University where she led various roles from Instructor to Dean. She was a trailblazer for women in education, even speaking on expanded roles at the Southern Baptist Convention in 1979. She retired after marrying the love of her life. She was married to Dr. Robert N. Baker on March 10, 1979. They had met 34 years earlier through a wartime courtship, and as they once stated “fate looked after us 34 years before.” They lived together in Kings Mountain, NC, and the years they had together were the highlights of their lives. From boating adventures to ski trips to world travels, they truly lived life to the fullest and they brought out the best in each other. Mary Louise was an active member of Lake Shore Baptist Church while she lived in Waco, TX and St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church while residing in Kings Mountain, NC. She was an avid reader, and always had a love for learning. She had a love for music, was a pianist, and lifelong choir member wherever she worshiped. She also enjoyed spending time with her friends, working on educational committees, the community theatre, travelling, and watching sporting events (especially when the Baylor Bears were playing). She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Robert N. Baker. Mary Louise has many nieces, nephews, and friends who are left to cherish her memories. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Park Springs in Stone Mountain, GA for all of the care, support, and comradery she received while she lived there.

Members of The Fathers House of Worship feed the homeless the third Saturday of each month. Photos by Pastor Roger Mitchell
Local church helps the homeless By Loretta Cozart The Fathers House of Worship helps the homeless the third Saturday of every month at the main bus stop on Main Street in Gastonia at noon. The church’s biggest goal over the last several years has been to feed and clothe the hungry and homeless by going to the streets and setting up tents, tables and warm meals. According to Pastor Roger Mitchell, “Members of our church play hymns and sing with the homeless. We give away clothing to those in need: coats, shoes, hats, gloves and raincoats. We are totally self-funded.” The Fathers House of Worship is a non-denominational Church with a focus on outreach, the preaching and teaching of the word with dynamic praise and worship. “We desire to be an agency of God for evangelizing the community and the world; to be a corporate body in which people may worship the Father without man made rules. We desire to give continuing emphasis on reaching the lost and broken, to encourage and promote the worship of God,” Mitchell said. Originally, The Fathers House of Worship secured a large room at the YMCA, along with all the items they needed to hold worship services there. As the congregation grew, it became evident that they needed their own facility. “The Lord led us to our new home, a 5,000 square foot building sitting on just under 2-acres at the foot of Crowder’s Mountain, located at 527 Bunker Hill Rd. Gastonia / Kings Mountain. The building was owned by Americas Christian Credit Union located in Glendale California,” Mitchell shared. “By the grace of God we were able to convince them that is would be more profitable for them to have
Members gather with those in need of prayer. an occupant to care for the building rather than letting it remain empty. The offer was accepted, and we moved in. Work began to restore the building and God began to bless us with people and resources.” Pastor Mitchell went on to say, “When our lease was coming to an end, the Vice President of Finance contacted me with offer, to which I explained that God had told us the amount to pay and to pay anything else would not be in his will. His reply was ‘the board will not accept our offer.’ In turn, our reply to him was, ‘Please tell your board that we serve a God who can change the hearts and minds of Kings and Nations’” “Americas Christian
Credit Union responded to us several days later accepting our offer and also agreed to make all necessary repairs on the building before closing on the property,” Mitchell said. “Together, we’re striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible, where there’s down to earth teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we’d like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time,” Pastor Mitchell said. “The journey of faith continues. All the Glory goes to God!”
Free clothing is given to those in need during monthly outreach events.

KM ranks 25th among the safest cities in NC By Loretta Cozart Alarms. org just released its 2020 Safest Cities Report Lisa Proctor and Kings Police Chief Mountain ranked #25 in North Carolina. In the report, Kings Mountain’s crime rate was the best in Cleveland County, with no other Cleveland County city listed in the Top 50. Gastonia ranked 49. Pinehurst was rated as the safest city in the state. Overall, North Caroli-
na’s violent and property crime rates are a bit above national levels in both categories, owing to high crime in large cities like Durham and Charlotte, where violent crime is nearly double the national rate of 3.69 offenses per 1,000. To identify the safest cities, they reviewed the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report (UCR) statistics and eliminated any cities that failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI and cities with populations under 10,000. This left 3,381 cities (out of a total of 9,251). Alarms.org computed the total number of crimes
reported by each city by adding violent crimes and property crimes. They then created a crime rate as the number of crimes per 1,000 population and then transformed the total crime rate variable so that the skewness was reduced and normalized. Data from 2,831 law enforcement agencies was then collected to determine police adequacy (Total Crimes / Number of police employees). The study considers that the smaller the police adequacy statistic is, the safer the city is. Regarding the ranking, Kings Mountain Police Chief Lisa Proctor said,

“This is great news! Especially since this past year was the first year we have had to fully implement the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBERS). Not every agency in NC has switched over to the new reporting system. Eventually all agencies in NC will have to be on the new system,” she added. According to PoliceChiefMagazine.com, “On January 1, 2021, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will retire the Summary Reporting System (SRS). Thereafter, the FBI’s UCR Program will collect crime statistics only through the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), making it the only nationwide format for crime statistics in the United States.”
ROTARY NEWS - The Feb. 20 Rotary luncheon meeting was held at the Duke Training Facility in Kings Mountain.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. –Zig Ziglar
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Cozart Recently, reader Carolyn Owens LORETTA Evans wrote COZART saying, “Much of the time your news focuses on schools within the city limits of Kings Mountain. Many of your readers attended other schools that were once part of the Kings Mountain School District, such as Park Grace, Compact, Davidson, Grover and Bethware,” she said. “Each school was, and is still, special to its students.” After reflecting upon her comments, I agree. So I encourage others to share their memories with me of their days at various schools in our community to create a record for future generations. As schools close and former students age, it doesn’t take long for the history of these places to be forgotten. “I attended Grover, first through the fifth grade,” Evans wrote. “My first-grade class was in the older building that has since been torn down. The school was for all grades, first through twelfth, all ages rode the same bus. I vaguely remember the high school age students being there during my first-grade year.” “Then the next year I was able to go to classes
in the new building where all first through fifth graders were. I admired my teachers who were Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Byers, Mrs. Cox. Mrs. Roark (who was young), and Miss Blalock; who made learning fun. Mr. Scruggs was the principal, who was a very tall man to a very short girl! Zeke was my bus driver for a while as I lived in the country.” “Lunches were always delicious, the lunchroom ladies really could cook, but not as good as my mother,” she added. “At first we had milk in bottles with a cardboard type lid, which some students would save to pretend it was money.” “On the playground one would play softball, jump rope, play with marbles, or just draw houses on the ground to play pretend housekeeping. We just loved to be outside. Some of the teachers would play with us, but most times they just stood on the sidelines and watched over us.” “No matter which school any student attended of these listed, I am sure we all had similar experiences. My favorite memories being allowed to have devotions daily, saying the Pledge to the flag, and having extra money to buy ice cream in the afternoons,” Evans Shared. “We learned by the way of information on
the intercom (by radio) that Alaska and Hawaii had become part of the United States.” “Times have changed. I urge readers to tell your family stories of going to school. Just don’t start with ‘when I was your age!’ Too many stories of how much excitement we, as grownups had, are being forgotten. Now remember those moments that made you who you are now.” I agree with Evan’s urging of others to share their memories and experiences with family members, because oral histories are an important way to record history in a real and meaningful way for future generations. To learn more about Grover School, I visited with Joel and Patsy Rountree, as Joel possesses his mother, Jeanette Harry Rountree’s, archives. She collected information about all-things Grover and passed them on to Joel and Patsy. In his mother’s belongings Rountree found an Annual Report of the Public Schools of Cleveland County for the year, July 1, 1905 to June 30, 1906, published by Aurora Publishing Company of Shelby, NC. “I have no idea where she got this booklet, but I’m sure glad she kept it,” he said. The report revealed that the teachers at Grover School were Mr. See Pieces, Page 7A

should live your life. An old minister said once, “If you please God it doesn’t matter who you please, and if you displease God then it doesn’t matter who you please.” Keep in mind that you can please God and others may still be displeased. People have opinions about how you should vote and how much of your money you should turn over to the government in taxes. People have opinions about how much of your money you should be allowed to keep. You’ll never make everybody happy, nor will Trump, or Bernie Sanders, or Joe Biden. Sometimes people let you know how disappointed they are in you. It’s common for us to be disappointed in people especially if we are counting on them to make us happy. If your happiness today hinges on others, you are already bound to face a disappointing day. If your goal is to make everybody happy today then you are already having a frustrating day. Just do, and be, the best you can. That’s all you can do.

■ MEDITATION
The Path to Greatness showed them a different path to greatness than they ever could have anticipated. Some of the other disciples heard the conversation and were upset with the request of these brothers. Then Jesus began to teach His followers how to truly be great in His kingdom. He reminded them the way of the world is that those in positions of power tend to, “lord it over them” and “exercise authority over them.” We’ve all seen people who will push and shove, stepping on others
When James and John came to Jesus in M a r k chapter ten, t h e y Pastor Jeff Longwell w e r e Penley’s Chapel seeking Church positions of greatness in His kingdom. Their request, “That we may sit, one on your right hand and the other on your left,” was met with an unexpected response. Jesus
in order to reach the top. They don’t care who they hurt or how it may affect those around them, as long as they can elevate themselves. The kingdom of God is radically different from the way this world operates. Jesus said, “Yet it shall not be so among you.” He doesn’t want us to be like the world. The believer attains greatness by another means.”Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.” I’ve always found it fascinating that Jesus didn’t
scold His disciples for their desire to be great, He simply corrected their method of getting there. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be great. Indeed, we ought to pursue greatness in everything we do. I desire to be a great dad, a great husband, and a great pastor to my church. Yet I understand the way God would have me achieve these goals is not through self promotion and grasping for authority, but through service. To be a great father I must lay aside my own desires and serve my children with my time, love and training. To be a great hus-
band I have to find ways to serve my bride, putting her needs ahead of my own. If I am able to be a great pastor, it will be through humble service rather than asserting authority. Jesus was our greatest example in this. If anyone had the right to impose their authority over others, it would be Him. After all, He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords! But He came to show us a different path to greatness. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Thomas Kelly Pauley’s portrait of Major Patrick Ferguson. Photo by Thomas Kelley Pauley
Pauley’s portrait of Ferguson featured in national magazine The February issue of Muzzleloader Magazine, targeted to those interested in Black Powder Rifles and 17th and 18th Century firearms, carried an article in its January/February issue: Flintlocks at War! A Study of Four Battles in the
American Revolution. The article, by Dick Weaver, features Thomas Kelly Pauley’s portrait of Major Patrick Ferguson, the British Commander who lost his life, and subsequently the Battle of Kings Mountain, in 1780.
We had no response to last week’s image of two women sewing in a downtown shop, taken from the H. Lee Waters’ film. Hopefully, this week’s image will elicit response. This man was photographed walking on Railroad Avenue in front of Plonks Department Store. Here, he pauses long enough to get a glimpse of the photographer’s camera. Waters’ films are can-
did and only lightly edited. Some of the most common scenes are of local schools and schoolchildren playing games or simply smiling for the camera, as well as busy downtown streets and workers exiting mills or businesses at the end of the day. Such was the case of the film from Kings Mountain. If you know his name, email Loretta Cozart at LHCOZART@CCCOM. COM.

SHERIFF ALAN NORMAN
On March 4, 2020 at 1:19 a.m. the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from 3822-9 Towery Road in Shelby, NC. The residents were awoken by someone beating on the side of their mobile home. Donald Bautista who is a resident of 3822-9 Towery Road went outside to investigate. Mr. Bautista was armed with a pistol when he saw someone run into the wood-line behind his mobile home. While continuing to check around his residence he was attacked with a wooden deck railing by the subject who was later identified as Robert

What’s in future for Myla? “I plan to go to college to study at either UNC-Chapel Hill or UNC-Charlotte. What I do after that depends on many things. If you know the right people, good things will come to you,” she says. “I have been accepted at one university and am waiting to hear back from the other.” Recently, Myla met Sunny Panyanouvong-Rubeck, a Laotian American running for election for judge of the North Carolina 26th Judicial District. “She and I discussed various opportunities for me
VAPING From Page 1A 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
PIECES From Page 4A B.M. Weir and Miss Edith Hambright, who earned $29 in salaries each month. A census of the school showed 65 boys and 55 girls enrolled, for a total of 110 students. The average attendance was 77. One family from the area declined to attend school. There were no illiterates on the census roll and the school then had seven grades. The grounds and furniture were valued at $400. “A special tax have been agitated by some of the leading citizens,” the report stated. “Factions among the patrons have proven unfortunate for the school year. We hope to establish a permanent high school here later,” it read. “In those days, the school had no running water, Rountree shared. “The first boy to class each day had to go to the spring and get a bucket of water for his class.” Rountree attended first grade at Grover School in the Fall of 1955, following in the footsteps of an
Burns. Mr. Bautista sustained several defensive wounds before firing one shot, which ultimately led to Robert Burns’ death. During the investigation deputies learned that Mr. Burns had been staying at 3822-4 Towery Road in the same mobile home park with friends. Mr. Burns left that residence shortly before the
shooting after getting into an altercation with one of the residents from that address. From witness accounts it appears when Mr. Burns left the residence at 3822-4 he was extremely impaired. Mr. Bautista told investigators that he did not know Mr. Burns prior to this incident. The investigation is ongoing, and the Sheriff’s Office is awaiting autopsy results from The North Carolina State Medical Examiner’s Office. The case will then be submitted to the District Attorney for review and determination if any charges will be filed.
once I graduate college. I don’t know where my future will lead me, but I intend to be a positive role model for the Laotian community.” “Laotian refugees came to America in the early 80s with very little and have built new lives for themselves In Kings Mountain. We work hard to contribute to the community,” Myla said. “We are a warm and welcoming people and are doing good things. In our culture, we are uplifting to one another and show respect. We are grateful for each other and the opportunities we have here.” Myla’s parents escaped Laos in the mid-1970s and sought refuge in Thailand. In the early 1980s, many Laotian refugees were brought to Kings Mountain by local churches to begin anew. These families have worked
hard to build a better life for themselves and their children., including Myla. Myla is now working on another book, sharing her parent’s story of being imprisoned for attempting to leave Laos and the struggles they faced. They eventually escaped by swimming across the Mekong River to Thailand and from there came to America. Myla Athitang will participate in Mauney Memorial Library’s third Read Local Book Fair on Tuesday, March 24 from 10 am until 2 pm. “I’m really looking forward to participating, to introduce my book and meet other local authors,” Myla said. This year’s event will be held at the beautiful H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center, located in Kings Mountain at 909 E. King Street.

older brother, Bill, and sister, Jaquitha. The twostory building for younger students burned during his years there and it was decided to make that building one story. “We didn’t have a fire department and many men from the town, including my father, Glenn Rountree, helped fight the fire,” he said. “The building has since been demolished, but some of the old floor joists from the second floor of that building were repurposed by my family for use in the ceiling of our dining room.” The building next door was then the school’s cafeteria, but a new cafeteria was completed while Rountree attended. The high school included upper-grades, 9 – 12 and was located between the cafeteria and the gymnasium, that only had dressing rooms for boys. “The girls either wore their uniforms to school or changed in a classroom, as I recall,” said Rountree. Rountree transferred to Shelby in 1961, just prior to the consolidation of schools and the formation Kings Mountain School District. He has vivid

memories of playing with friends in the school yard and fondly remembers his teachers and school staff. Through his words, it is easy to understand that he enjoyed his years at Grover School. Walking across the school yard, Rountree points to a huge oak tree, saying that the tree was there when he was a little. “Somewhere on that old tree are my initials carved into the bark, along with those of a pretty girl I knew,” he laughs. “We started school in August each year and took two weeks off in September when it was time to harvest cotton. Ours was an agricultural community back then. When the mechanical cotton picker came along, the school’s schedule changed because manual labor was no longer needed,” he said. Rountree’s family has been in Grover since the mid-1800s, owning land on Jacob’s Branch. His family owned Minette Mills and Rountree’s Friendly Gas Station. But those are topics for future stories as we take time to remember our friends in Grover.

1999 KMHS track team to be inducted into Kings Mountain Sports Hal of Fame (First in a series of articles on the 2020 inductees into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. The ceremony is at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 9 at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15). A dropped baton in the final relay event kept Kings Mountain High’s men’s track team from winning the 1999 NCHSAA championship. Southern Nash took advantage of the situation to win the final event of the day and
claim its third straight state title by 2.5 points. “We dropped the baton and was disqualified or we would have won the state championship,” recalled Dave Farquharson, who was an assistant coach to the late John Bumgardner. Even with the disqualification, Southern Nash had to finish first or second to overtake the Mountaineers and they finished first. Southern Nash finished with 46.75 points to KM’s 44. Durham Hillside with 42 points and
North Buncombe with 35 rounded out the top four. Kings Mountain was led by Kareem Marshall, who scored 20 of the Mountaineers’ points by winning the shot put and discus. Other top scorers for the Mountaineers were Chad Pearson who scored 14 points with a second place finish in the 3200 meters and third in the 1600 meters; Anthony Ash with a fourth place finish in the 110 hurdles, the 4x100 relay team (Danny Wright, Dwayne Littlejohn, Stanley Whitesides
and Jamar Moore) with a fourth place, and Joe Williamson with a fifth place finish in the 110 hurdles. Even with the narrow loss in the state championship, the Mountaineers posted their best season in school history. Earlier they won the Southwestern Conference, Western 3A Regional, the Cleveland County championship and the Shelby Invitational, marking the first time in school history that they swept all of those events in the same year. The Mountaineers won
the Western Regional at TC Roberson with 106 points, far out-distancing North Buncombe in second place with 80 points, North Gaston third with 75 and Asheville fourth with 69. Top scorers for the Mountaineers were Marshall in the shot and discus, Kendrick Bell in the 100 meter run, Bell, Dwayne Littlejohn, Stanley Whitesides and Jamar Moore in the 100 meter relay, and Ash, Littlejohn, Whitesides and Bill Welsh in the 200 meter relay. Marshall, who finished
second in the state his sophomore and junior years, set a school record with a discus throw of 155 feet, eight inches. Marshall, Dwayne Littlejohn, Jamar Moore, Anthony Ash, Joe Williamson, Kendrick Bell and Chad Pearson were all named to the All-Conference team. Marshall was the SWC Player of the Year in field events and Pearson, who later made All-American at NC State, was SWC Player of the Year in field events.

Mountaineer baseball opens with an 8-1 win over Raiders Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers opened their baseball season Wednesday at Lancaster Field with an 8-1 non-conference win over the South Point Red Raiders. Southpaw Stephen Fisher and right hander Clinton Turner shared pitching duties, combining for a five-hitter and 11 strikeouts. Kings Mountain blew the game open with five runs in the bottom of the sixth and South Point tallied its only run in the top of the seventh. Cameron Stevens,
Boone Cartee, Zane Brockman, Jackson Bolin, Zach Crawford and Chris Ruffalo had a hit apiece for the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers scored what would be the winning run in the bottom of the first without benefit of a hit. After getting KM leadoff hitter Blake Broome on a fly ball to open the inning, South Point pitcher Grayson Thomas hit a wild streak. He issued free passes to Stevens and Fisher and got Boone Cartee on a fly ball to left before back-to-back walks to Crawford and
Brockman forced in the goahead run. KM increased its lead to 2-0 in the third when Brockman’s sacrifice fly to left plated Cartee, who had led off the inning with a single to left. The Mountaineers went up 3-0 in the fifth. Brockman singled to left with two away, went to second on a wild pitch and third on an error. Bolin’s single to left brought him home. KM sent 11 men to the plate in the bottom of the sixth to score its final five runs. A walk to Broome, Stevens’ bunt single and
a walk to Fisher loaded the bases. Broome scored when Cartee reached on an error and Crawford’s infield hit followed by an error ran the score to 6-0. Brockman walked to reload the bases and set up a sacrifice fly by Turner for the seventh run. After Bolin was hit by a pitch, Ruffalo singled to right to round out the scoring. South Point’s only run, which was unearned, came when Justin Smith reached on an error and later scored on Jake Baity’s single to right.
The top 1-2 pass catching duo in Kings Mountain football history have made their college choices. Kobe Paysour, a junior who is the Mountaineers’ all-time leading receiver with another year left to add to his totals, committed over the weekend to become a part of Mack Brown’s rebuilding effort at the University of North Carolina. Quintin Davidson, a senior, will be continuing his pass catching exploits with the Limestone College Saints in Gaffney, SC. The duo combined for over 2,000 yards receiving last fall to help the Mountaineers to their third straight 12win season and fourth in the last five years. Paysour, just the second All-American football player in the Mountaineers’ 97 years of football, had 58 catches for 1,143 yards and 16 touchdowns despite being double-teamed more than 90 percent of the time. He also had one rushing TD and passed for another. He had seven games with over 100 yards receiving. The opponents’ concentration on Paysour enabled Davidson and other KM receivers to showcase their talents, and Davidson barely missed a 1,000 yard season with 40 catches for 920 yards. He had four games with over
KOBE PAYSOUR
QUINTIN DAVIDSON 100 yards receiving. Paysour caught a school record 71 passes for 1,596 yards and 26 touchdowns as a sophomore. He had 27 catches for 644 yards his freshman year, giving him career school records of 156 catches for 3,383 yards and 46 touchdowns. Both were voted to the 2019 All-Big South Conference team.

Kings Mountain High’s tennis opener last week with Polk County was postponed because of the weather. The match will now be played on March 17 at 4 p.m. It will be the first match on the new courts and Coach Rick Henderson invites all tennis fans out to see the matches. “Our players, parents, grandparents and myself are truly excited about having our first home match at our new tennis complex,” Henderson said. The Mountaineers are looking for a good season as all 10 players return
from last year. Several talented newcomers are also on board. Returners include Tucker Leatherman, Connor Goodson, Noah Dettloff, Aydin Roper, Triston Hannon, Mark Petrilli, Ryne Smith, Tyler Smith, Jesse Yarbro and Sam Parsons. Freshman Adam Guy joins the team with much experience from playing for KM Middle. “He is making an impact for sure,” said Henderson. “He’s returned from minor surgery a couple of weeks ago. We also have two newcomers Drake Morrow
and Brandon Paulson. I can honestly say the starting six positions in singles are up for grabs.” Henderson said Leatherman, Goodson, Dettloff and Guy have been impressive during early practice sessions. “I look for them to grab the top four spots,” Henderson said. “As for the fifth and sixth spots, Petrilli, Smith and Hannon are battling it out and this could be a real tossup between the other two starting positions. Unfortunately, Roper, a starter the last couple of years, has been under a doctor’s care for a knee injury but I am
looking for him to be released sometime in the next week or two. “Smith, Parsons and Yarbro are also making strides and are improving each day. Even though Morrow and Paulson are newcomers to the game, they ae picking up the game quicker than I expected. “I am excited about this year’s team, simply because this is a solid team compared to the last couple of seasons. If our players play to their potential I feel we could make a run and finish in the top three in the Big South Conference.”
KMHS beats Shelby 10-8, falls at Enka on walk-off hit After opening its season with a win over South Point at home, Kings Mountain High’s baseball team hit the road for non-conference games last week. The Mountaineers defeated Shelby 10-8 Friday and lost to Enka 6-5 on a walk-off hit in Enka Saturday. The Mountaineers were scheduled to open their Big South schedule Mon-
day night at Stuart Cramer, will travel to Gaffney for a non-conference game Thursday at 6 p.m. and host North Gaston in a BSC contest Friday at 7. Justin Cooke started on the mound at Shelby and got the win. Zane Brockman pitched the final 1 2/3 innings to pick up the save. Brockman and Silas Price led the hitting with
two hits each. Charlie Melton, Cameron Stevens, Nathan Phillips and Zach Crawford each had a hit. Melton started on the mound Saturday at Enka and pitched 4 1/3 innings. He retired the first 13 batters he faced. “Nathan Phillips and Devin Pressley came in relief and did a good job,” said Coach Brad Melton.
“A few missed plays and timely hitting did us in.” Silas Price again led the offense with two hits, a walk and a run scored. Blake Brome had a hit and three runs batted in. Boone Cartee added a solo home run, and Zane Brockman and Jaxson Bolin also had hits.

Chen’s journey to health Taylor Nestlerode Quinten Chen’s journey started on September 12, when he was sitting on his couch enjoying a slice of pizza. Quinten said that as he was eating, he looked across the room, and caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Quinten did not like the individual that was staring back him, and at that point, decided to make a change. Quinten discarded the pizza box with its contents and decided to do something about his health. Quinten said at the time of his epiphany he was weighting in at 225 pounds. The very next day he decided to start his fitness journey at the Kings Mountain Gateway Trail. For a week, he would walk and work out at the fitness stations located throughout the course. After a week of starting his new routine, Quinten was traveling down Highway 161 toward Bessemer City, and noticed the Kings Mountain Family YMCA
QUINTEN CHEN off to his left. Quinten commented to himself, “I’m going to stop by the Y, and see what they have to offer.” Five months later, Quinten has dropped 50 pounds through exercise and dieting. Quinten said he has been incorporating two exercise routines a day at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA to maximize his results. He partakes in cardiovascular exercise in the mornings, and martial arts in the evenings. Quinten stated that hard work, motivation, discipline, and set goals are his
Green named delegate to Girls State By Loretta Cozart Olivia Green, a rising high school senior at Kings Mountain High School, has been named the delegate from the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 155 to Tar Heel Girls State this summer. Green is the daughter of Chrissi Green of Kings Mountain. Heather Conn and Loretta Cozart, co-chairmen of the Tar Heel Girls State committee from Otis D. Green Unit 155, made the announcement this week. North Carolina’s 81st session of Tar Heel Girls State will be held at Catawba College in Salisbury, June 14 -20. Tar Heel Girls State is the longest continuously running Girls State program in the country. For over 80 years, this program has served several thousand young leaders by deepening their sense of responsibilities as citizens and serving as a practical source of instruction in the struc-
ture and operation of state and local governments. Two outstanding girls from each ALA Girls State program are selected to attend ALA Girls Nation in Washington, D.C. As ALA Girls Nation “senators,” they campaign for political office, craft and debate the passage of legislation, and meet with their real-life counterparts on Capitol Hill. Green has been interested in government since taking an honors civics class during her sophomore year. She is involved in school clubs that are service driven. Interact, a club sponsored by the Kings Mountain Rotary Club, provides students opportunities to serve the community. Green hopes to study medicine or political science, or both, when she enters college in the fall of 2021. American Legion Auxiliary units endorse all applications and nominate girls for the program.
Quinten has dropped 50 lbs. through exercise and dieting. Photos provided recipe for success. We, at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA, applaud Quinten for his fitness achievement, and encourage others seek-
ing a change, to learn from Quinten’s experiences, and take the initiative to start their own wellness journey.

Important Legal Documents All Seniors Should Have Dear Savvy Senior, What kinds of legal documents do I need to prepare to help my family after I’m gone? I would like to get my affairs in order but could use some help. Almost 75 Dear Almost, All adults – especially seniors – should have at least four essential legal documents to protect yourself and your family. These documents will make sure your wishes regarding your estate are legal and clear and will help minimize any conflicts and confusion with your family and your health care providers if you become seriously ill or when you die. Here are the key documents you need, along with some tips to help you create them. Will: This document lets you spell out your wishes of how you’d like your property and assets distributed after you die, whether it’s to family, friends or a charity. It also allows you to designate an executor to ensure your wishes are carried out and allows you to name guardians if you have dependent children.
In addition to a will, if you own real estate or have considerable assets, another option you may want to consider is a “revocable living trust.” This functions like a will but allows your estate to avoid the time and expense of probate (the public legal process that examines your estate after you die) and helps ensure your estate’s privacy. Durable Power of Attorney: This allows you to designate someone you trust to handle your financial matters if you become incapacitated. Advanced Health Care Directive: This includes two documents that spell out your wishes regarding your end-oflife medical treatment. The two documents are a “living will” which tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated, and a “health care power of attorney” (or health care proxy), which names a person you authorize to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable. You should also consider making a do-not-resuscitate order (DNR) as part of your advance directive, since ad-
vanced directives do little to protect you from unwanted emergency care like CPR. To create a DNR, ask your doctor to fill out a state appropriate form and sign it. Do-It-Yourself If you have a simple estate and an uncomplicated family situation, there are do-it-yourself resources that can help you create all these documents for very little money. Some options to consider include Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2020 software (available at Nolo.com) that costs $90 and works with Windows and Macs and is valid in every state except Louisiana. And LegalZoom.com, which offers an estate plan with professional legal guidance with an independent attorney for $179. Get Help If, however, you want or need assistance or if you have a complicated financial situation, blended family or have considerable assets, you should hire an attorney. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases – especially when writing a will or living trust – which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone.
Costs will vary depending on where you reside, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $500 and $2,000 for a basic estate plan that includes a will, power of attorney and advance directive. If you want your estate plan to include a living trust, that can run anywhere between $1,500 and $5,000. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (NAEPC.org) are two good resources that have directories on their websites to help you find someone in your area. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see www.FindLegalHelp.org) to find low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral. 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.

KM got off to a great start, scoring six runs in the first inning with hits from Colton Mayes, Jack Toney, Ethan Guy, Caleb Marr and Nic Cole. Adding RBIs were Brayden Patrick and Rylan Wilson. KM scored one in the fourth and three in the fifth
to complete the shutout. Leading the hitting were Mayes, Toney, Guy, Cole and Wilson with two hits each. Pitching great for the Patriots was Jackson Toney, who went all five innings and gave up just three hits. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out 11. KM plays at Burns Wednesday.

With new cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) announced almost daily, many wonder the best way to protect yourself should the disease continue to spread nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has indicated that Americans should be anticipating and preparing for the possibility of widespread COVID-19 in the United States. “We are asking North Carolinians to continue to plan ahead for the possibility of the spread of the infection, while the risk for North Carolina is currently low,” said Dr. Elizabeth Tilson, State Health Director and Chief Medical Officer for NCDHHS. There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases: Individuals, Families and Communities • NCDHHS recommends everyone continue taking precautions to protect themselves and others from the spread of respiratory illnesses, which includes NOTICE OF BRANCH OPENING An application has been filed by Alliance Bank & Trust Company, Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina, with the Office of the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks for authority to establish a branch at 1113 Shelby Road, Kings Mountain, Cleveland County, North Carolina 28086, to be known as the Kings Mountain Branch, to be processed in accordance with N.C.G.S. § 53C-6-15. The public is invited to submit written comments on this application to the Commissioner of Banks, 4309 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-4309. The comment period for this application will end 14 days from date of this publication. The Commissioner of Banks will consider comments received within the comment period. KMH4007 (3/11/2020)
COVID-19. • Wash hands frequently with soap and water, and for at least 20 seconds each time. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. • Avoid close contact with people who are ill. • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. • Do not reuse tissue after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose. • Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched. • It is also good practice to start being more aware of the number of times a day your hands touch an object or hard surface and then touch your face without being washed. Limiting the exposure of your nose, mouth and eyes to unwashed hands can help to protect from the spread of all germs and illnesses. • Have a plan in case you need to miss work or other responsibilities due to personal illness or to care for a sick family member. • For pregnant women and children, review the information and guidance available on the CDC website. Businesses and Employers • Practice good hand hygiene and encourage your employees and patrons to take common-sense precautions to protect themselves from the spread of respiratory illnesses. • Review your policies and procedures for remote or teleworking where possible. • Cross-train employees for key functions so that daily schedules can continue relatively uninterrupted by potential employee absences. • Review absenteeism policies to make sure employees are not being encouraged to come to work if they are sick. • If you have not already, establish a relationship with your local health department and communicate with them if you have any questions or concerns about COVID-19.
