Two charged in Thomas death FIREFIGHTER – Thomas W. Harmon II has joined the Kings Mountain Fire Department as Assistant Chief.
New Assistant Fire Chief
Fire Service is Harmon’s passion Fire service is Tommy Harmon’s passion and for him it is a calling. “God places me where He needs me,’’ says the Rutherford County fireman who recently joined the Kings Mountain Fire Department as Assistant Chief. “We’re glad to welcome Tommy into our fire department family,’’ said Chief Frank Burns. Thomas W. Harmon II is a native of Rutherfordton who started fighting fires
at age 18. He served as fire marshal in Forest City and was active in Forest City Fire & Rescue for five years before joining the Rutherfordton Fire Department as Captain where he served 15 years. He was a volunteer fireman for 10 years. He teaches firefighting at Isothermal College and Cleveland Community College as an instructor at weekend fire colleges each year. “I love it,’’ he says, adding, “I try to pass along
my passion for firefighting to my students.” Harmon likes calling Kings Mountain home and plans to move to Kings Mountain soon. He travels 80 miles to work every day. “I like the interaction with the guys who work in fire departments and in the classroom and I want my students to make a difference in people’s lives,’’ says Tommy, who at age 49 has racked up 31 years of See HARMON, Page 7A
KM Ministerial Association
Lenten services start March 1 The Kings Mountain Ministerial Association has announced its 2017 Lenten schedule of church services. Rev. Ron Caulder, pastor of East Side Baptist Church, said that the services will kick off on March 1 at Central United Methodist Church at 12 noon and Rev. Jeff Wilson will speak on “The Feet of Christ” from Isaiah 65:17-66: 22 and Luke 10:38-42. The services are held every Wednesday leading
up to Holy Week and Easter at six churches in the community. Light refreshments are served by the host church and the offering is taken at each service for the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry. Other services in March are March 15 at First Nazarene Church with Rev. John Houze, speaker, on “The Hands of Christ” from Genesis 2:4-8 and John 8:22; Boyce Memorial ARP Church on March 22 with
Hiebert, 61, on first degree murder charges in Thomas’ death. Hiebert was arrested on February 16, 2017 and Zander, Thomas’ girlfriend at the time, was arrested on February 17, 2017. Norman said the investigation into Thomas’ death began August 18, 2009 when the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office responded to 1226 Mary’s Grove Road near Kings Mountain to investigate the death of Timothy Thomas. Norman said the investigation revealed that Mr. Thomas was shot and killed while leaving his home to go to work. The investigation spanned two states and a multitude of leads that came up empty, according to the sheriff. Norman said that the case was actually revisited a year ago, no
new information was coming in on the case, so the Sheriff’s Office and SBI pulled the case and started the steps through the investigation. “We decided to start fresh with this case and start at the beginning,’’ said Norman. He added, “I am extremely proud of the investigators who worked this case.’’ ‘’What we know at this time is that Mr. Hiebert and Mrs. Zander worked together at Transportation Administration of Cleveland County in 2009 and had a close relationship, ‘’ said Norman. ‘’Mr. Hiebert allegedly shot Mr. Thomas and Zander allegedly aided in the planning of the shooting,’ ’the sheriff added. Zander and Hiebert are in Cleveland County Jail in Shelby under no bond.

RESTORING STAIN GLASS WINDOW – Jacques Everson is pictured in his art studio on West Mountain Street restoring a 1918 stained glass window that hung in a church in Gastonia. Story and Photo by LIB STEWART
Artist loves what he does and does what he loves Kings Mountain Little Theatre is getting ready for this summer’s Liberty Mountain.
KM drama seeking volunteers for 2017 summer production In 1780 our Patriot forefathers answered the call to come together to secure the birth and freedom of our nation. Today, there is the opportunity (many may say the privilege) to answer the call to support and secure that legacy. Kings Mountain Little Theatre and Liberty Mountain is actively seeking advocates, sponsors, and
volunteers for this summer’s production. General Manager Jim Champion and other Liberty Mountain representatives will be contacting area businesses and individuals during the next month about these opportunities. Financial support is always welcome and will be put to good use, but even See KM DRAMA, Page 7A
Kings Mountain artist Jacques Everson has a passion for creating fine art. He says he finds inspiration through his faith and family and particularly with stained glass, a hobby he has perfected for the past 15 years. His art studio in his home at 402 W. Mountain Street is filled with sun catchers and other custom designs that according to Everson is “a hobby gone crazy.” A conversation piece in Everson’s home studio is a Dec. 8, 1918 stained glass window that originally hung in the sanctuary of a church in Gastonia. A Gas-
tonia man brought the window in its original 36x46 frame for $20 at a yard sale and wanted it restored. “It is taking a while to restore this piece but when I finish it may be my masterpiece,’’ said Everson who makes crosses of wood of all sizes that hang in churches. Tiffany-style cedar jewel boxes were his Christmas gifts to members of his family. Some of his jewel boxes are of heart pine and 1920s glass which he found in Grover and at the old Firestone plant in Gastonia. Old-fashioned leaded glass is another of his specialties and there are no two art items alike. The
triple layered crosses are of heart pine and etched glass. “I give away much of my art work,’’ said the industrial mechanic who works 12 hour shifts at a plant in Gaffney, SC and returns home to relax in his art studio. An example of some of the gifts was to a mother whose child’s marker was taken from a cemetery. He fashioned a 16-inch cross with two roses and the baby’s name which the woman hangs in her house as a memorial. And there was the lady whose eyes sparkled when she saw the brilliant shining sun catchers that he See HOBBY, Page 8A

The topics of these seminar are “Operating a HomeBased Business” on Thursday, March 2, 6-9 p.m. and “Website Development for Small Business” on Thursday, March 9, 6-9 p.m. What makes a home-based business different from any other businesses? There are many advantages as well as some disadvantages to having your business based in your home. You will learn how the home atmosphere will affect the success of your business. This seminar will also help you understand the legal issues associated with starting and running your business as a home-based enterprise. Today businesses need a website to allow customers to learn about their products and/or services. Developing a user-friendly and inviting website is important if you
really want to attract interest. There are ways to develop a website without spending a fortune. You may register for either or both of these seminars online at www.clevelandcc. edu or in person at the Small Business Center. For more information or for assistance with registration, contact Steve Padgett, Director of the Small Business Center at Cleveland Community College. Phone 704-669-4146 or email padgetts@clevelandcc. edu. “Cleveland County is a Certified Entrepreneurial Community® and as such, we are providing all entrepreneurs and business owners an opportunity to improve their potential for success,” Padgett said.

GWU Health Fair March 9 BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. –Dozens of local healthcare providers and organizations will be on hand to promote healthy living at the annual Community Health Fair, scheduled for Thursday, March 9 from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. in the Tucker Student Center at Gardner-Webb University. The event is free and open to the public. Every year, the fair enables students and members of the community to build relationships with local health agencies, promoting awareness about the latest health-related trends and offering the knowledge and resources necessary to pursue healthy lifestyles. “We always try to promote a holistic view of health—not just what it means to be physically healthy, but how to make the best choices for nutritional, psychological, and even spiritual health,” said Brian Arnold, GWU’s assistant director of student activities. “The event is a great opportunity for our students,
and for members of the community, to learn what great local resources are available if they want to live healthier lifestyles.” Local doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, fitness experts, nutritionists, psychological and spiritual health counselors, and even health drink representatives will offer information and free giveaways. Several health-related student clubs will offer free blood pressure checks and other screenings. “The Health Fair is always an educational time,” said Arnold, “but it’s a fun time too. We’ll offer raffles and giveaways, and a lot of the representatives give out souvenirs of their own. But most importantly, we hope the Fair will inspire people to take better care of their minds, bodies, and souls.” For more information about the Health Fair, or to sign up as a vendor, contact Brian Arnold at (704) 4063552.
Talk to a lawyer free public service March 3 The North Carolina Bar Association’s 10th annual 4ALL Statewide Service Day will take place on Friday, March 3. Call-in centers will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the exception of Wilmington (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) Volunteer attorneys will staff call centers in Asheville (WLOS News 13), Charlotte (WBTV), Fayetteville (Hutchens Law Firm), Greensboro (United Way of Greater Greensboro), Greenville (WNCT-CBS), Raleigh (WRAL-TV) and Wilmington (WECT TV6). The statewide service project coincides with the NCBA’s 4ALL campaign to provide civil legal aid to those who otherwise would not have access to a lawyer. The event was first held in 2008 during the term of NCBA President Janet Ward Black of Greensboro and has since taken on a life of its own and hundreds of volunteers gather annually to provide free legal information to thousands of North Carolinians. The 2017 4ALL Statewide Service Day is being led by Ashley Bennington of Greensboro and Angie Dorsey of Asheville.
Phone numbers for each call center will be promoted throughout the day by the TV stations hosting call centers. In instances where stations are not hosting, WRAL-TV will display the Fayetteville phone number and WFMY News 2 will advertise the Greensboro phone number. Please note that the phone numbers should only be accessed only during the prescribed hours of the event, and that the statewide service day is a telephone-only program. The 4ALL Statewide Service Day is presented by the NCBA as a public service to the citizens of North Carolina, and no attorney-client or business relationships may be established through this program.

High 77 High 74 High 76 High 71 High 66 High 72 High 65 Low 55 Low 55 Low 52 Low 55 Low 45 Low 52 Low 35 Well, the end of meteorological Winter is in sight. March 1st starts unofficial Spring as far as weather keeping goes and it looks like we will end up with one of the warmest Winters on record and about the 8th driest. Strange how we snuck a decent snowstorm in there, huh? This is the earliest I can remember seeing pollen blow off the budding trees as well. We will finish the month warm, but will cool down Saturday night and Sunday only briefly. Next week, the 70’s come back again, even pushing 80 in the first week of March. The big question I don’t know the answer to is “Will there be a hard freeze in March, or even April”? I don’t see one yet, but usually, it’s not safe to plant yet. However, these last 18 months have been downright bizarre on the temperature patterns.

KM’s Gateway Trail Run set for March 11 Special to the Herald The eighth annual Kings Mountain Gateway Trail 5K/10 Mile & Fun Run will be held Saturday, March 11, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. More than 220 people participated in last year’s event, and organizers are hoping that the number increases this year. “Participation has grown every year,” says Shirley Brutko, president of the Gateway Trail park. “It’s really a very challenging course, so it’s not for everyone, but we are very pleased and excited that more and more people are taking part.” Brutko has been a part of the Gateway Trail since its very beginning. “Many years ago I worked at the Kings Mountain Chamber of Commerce, and I served on a committee that was looking into the possibility of developing a trail or bike path to connect the town of Kings Mountain to the Kings Mountain and Crowder’s Mountain state parks,” she says. “I became very passionate about the idea and eventually started working on the project outside of my work for the chamber.” The trail has continued to be a labor
of love for Brutko, who has seen the trail develop from its initial 2.5 miles to today’s seven miles of trail. The trail currently ends at Galilee Church Road; the next section will connect to Crowder’s Mountain State Park, which should be completed by 2018. In the meantime, the 5K/10 Mile & Fun Run is helping to raise both funds for and awareness about the trail. “We started with just the 5K because we didn’t have enough trail to do a longer run at first,” says Brutko. “But by 2015 we had extended the trail enough to add the 10-mile portion to the race.” The Gateway Trail is now owned by Cleveland County, with Brutko as president and a board of directors to help manage the park. There is also a “Friends of the Trail” group that helps to support and participate in the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the trail. Two years ago the first
employee was hired: a part-time ranger. This year’s race – as it has in previous years – will take place regardless of the weather, Brutko says. “We had one year that it rained, sleeted and snowed,” she says. “We handed out hot cocoa, and all of the participants were there and just loved it – they didn’t mind the weather at all.” Runners can sign up for the run online at www.racesonline.com. Those registered by March 1 are guaranteed a Gateway Trail run shirt. Packet pickup is Friday, March 10 from 3-7 p.m. at the trail or on Saturday, March 11 before the run. Registration is $25 before March 11 and $30 on race day. Trophies will be awarded in multiple categories, and fun runners will all receive a medal. For more information, search for “Kings Mountain Gateway Trail” on Facebook or visit the trail’s website at www.KMGatewayTrails.org.

Letter To Editor To the Editor: A House Divided We have always heard that a house divided cannot stand. This also applies to any organization or to a nation. It has never been more evident than today that these United States are anything but united. All these protests, turned riots, are just a symptom of a deep seated division among our people. We protest, thinking our actions will expose the “other side” for just how bigoted and narrow they are and at the same time vindicate us for where we stand. What is so deplorable is that a more radical group seizes upon our protests to loot, pillage and destroy what hard working Americans have built up. Where is any justification for such action? Perhaps these actions come from the immature behavior of our elected representatives in Washington. A “tit for tat” (eye for an eye) mentality can only be destructive to our nation. It’s not all right to say, “Since I didn’t get my way, I’m going to do all I can to keep you from getting yours.” The losers are not just the Democrats or Republicans but our entire nation. Some may think that if congress can act so immaturely, that they have a blanket excuse to act
destructively in the streets. The sad thing in all of this is not just the destruction of property but that a deeper wedge of division is being driven between our people. We need to stop and ask ourselves some personal questions, “Is my position and my actions bringing our country together or driving it apart?” “Do I really care that our country is strong or weak?” “If I do care, what am I doing to show it?” Some seem to want our country weaker and are doing their best to make it so. This means that those of us who want a stronger U.S.A. have got to work harder. We are a democracy, and this means that some of us are always going to be disappointed with the results of any election. What is supposed to happen at every election is that we hide our disappointment and go to work to make our position stronger for the next election, and especially, do we go to work to make our country stronger. Whining about the results, and demonstrating about it, is immature and unbecoming of Americans. MORRIS JORDAN Kings Mountain

Acts of ser“actions speak louder than vice, as with all love lanwords.” For the individual guages, must not be used
as a bargaining chip or a manipulative device on your spouse. Instead, these acts of service come from an internally motivated desire to give one’s energy and love to others. If “acts” is your spouse’s primary love language, nothing will speak more deeply to him or her emotionally than simple acts of service. You may say “I take out the trash and wash the car and they do not even acknowledge my effort.” It may be they have not understood your dialect. What I mean by this, you
may be doing things for each other, but not what is perceived as the most important. Your wife may not care if you wash your car every week or keep the lawn mowed, yet vacuuming or bathing the kids will overflow her love tank. For many, acts of service will involve household chores, but not all. For me, I give my wife a few moments peace by keeping the kids alive and occupied. Before children, I would have never considered an uninterrupted shower or bathroom trip a mini-va-
cation. I encourage you to speak with your spouse to discover his or her love language. Next, determine his or her distinct dialect within the love language. Furthermore, determine which act of service your spouse considers most significant. Then, both of you compose a list of four to six acts that, if done voluntarily, would be regarded as a genuine expression of love for them. Dr. Chapman reminds us “No one likes to be forced to do anything. Love is always freely given.”
Jesus, who is fluent in all of the love languages, demonstrated genuine acts of service throughout his ministry. Christ’s acts of service include: wedding feast at Cana, washing the disciples’ feet, feeding the 5,000, and healing the sick. Christ’s ultimate act of service was his death on the cross. 1 John 4:19 reminds us, “We love because he first loved us.” Next week we will conclude our series with our fifth love language, physical touch.

A free public reception to feature the work of Gaston County native Rudy Rudisill will be held Saturday, Feb. 25, from 6-8 p.m. at the Southern Arts Society at the Depot. The exhibit will be on display in the Reavis Gallery at the Southern Arts Society at the Depot February 21 through March 30. The show, “Farm Buildings to Follies,” consists of architecturally based metal sculptures created primarily from galvanized steel and copper. This series was inspired when Rudisill was driving through Texas and saw an abandoned grain elevator with an open door swaying in the wind near the top of the structure, reminding him of a door to a house. Thus, began a fascination with farm buildings and a new direction in his sculpture, all abstracted and altered with his own personal interpretation. This period led to exploring Architectural Follies, structures with no real function or purpose, expanding his work even further. Each sculpture in this exhibit is hand fabricated from new materials, cut, folded and aged to give the appearance of an older structure that has withstood time and elements. Rudy works primarily with metals, from making jewelry to large scale sculptures. He has exhibited extensively throughout his career, winning numerous awards along the way. He studied at Penland School of Crafts, Arrowmont School of Crafts, Appalachian Center for Crafts and completed workshops with the Florida Guild of Goldsmiths. He retired as an Exhibits Consultant at Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia. Southern Arts Society Gift Shop & Gallery is located at 301 N. Piedmont Avenue at the intersection

Actor Will Portray C.S. Lewis as part of Gardner-Webb Distinguished Artist Series Tom Key Also to Speak for Dimensions Program and Present Classes for Students
STACY PEARSALL (photo submitted)
Gardner Webb to host military photographer Gardner-Webb will host two-time Military Photographer of the Year Stacy Pearsall and the “Veterans Portrait Project” at the Charlotte campus on Feb. 27, and at the main campus in Boiling Springs on Feb. 28 as part of the University’s Distinguished Artist Series. The two-day event will kick off Pearsall’s art show in the Tucker Gallery at Gardner-Webb’s main campus. Pearsall, who served in the Air Force as a combat photographer, is a decorated veteran who started the Veterans Portrait Project (VPP) while recovering from wounds she sustained in active duty. Through the Project, veterans can have their portrait taken free of charge. Pearsall provides each veteran with a high-resolution digital image or an actual print. “They’re young and old, male and female. They come from all walks of life and have varied religious beliefs, levels of education and racial ethnicity,” Pearsall shares. “What unites them all is their service. It’s a bond that cannot be broken, and I’m proud to be one of them.” Veterans throughout the region are invited to take advantage of this no-cost
opportunity by signing up at gardner-webb.edu/veterans-portrait as soon as possible. Appointment times are available on Feb. 27 (Charlotte campus) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Feb. 28 (Tucker Student Center, Boiling Springs campus) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To learn more about the Veterans Portrait Project, visit StacyPearsall. com. The GWU Charlotte campus is located at 8030 Arrowridge Blvd., Charlotte, N.C. The main campus is located at 110 S. Main St., Boiling Springs, N.C. In recent years, Gardner-Webb has been consistently recognized as a Military-Friendly institution and was named as North Carolina’s first Purple Heart University. These accolades – in conjunction with the Veterans Portrait Project event – further affirm Gardner-Webb’s commitment to honoring and serving U.S. troops, veterans, and their families. Auxiliary aids will be made available to persons with disabilities upon request 48 hours prior to the event. Please call 704.406.4264 or email servicerequests@ gardner-webb.edu with your request.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—An off-Broadway actor will give two faithbased performances at Gardner-Webb University on Tuesday, Feb. 28. Tom Key, artistic director of Theatrical Outfit in Atlanta, will speak at Dimensions and also give a performance as part of the University’s Distinguished Artist Series. Key will present his portrayal of author C.S. Lewis at 8 p.m. in the Millennium Playhouse, located behind the Communications Studies Hall on Main Street in Boiling Springs. “We invited him because he is a Christian artist who can do a faith-themed live performance and also do masterclasses in performance with our students,” shared Dr. Christopher Nelson, assistant professor of theatre and department chair. Key has been a featured guest at universities across
North America and at Oxford University in England. He has received numerous awards and has been described as, “an actor with such energy that even standing still, he seems to quiver like a divining rod.” The Dimensions program will be held at 9:25 a.m. in Stewart Hall of Tucker Student Center on GWU’s main campus and is free and open to the public. Admission for the evening performance is $10 for the public, $5 for seniors and students, and free for GWU students, GWU faculty and staff, and children under 6. For more information about Tom Key, visit theatricaloutfit.org. Gardner-Webb’s Dimensions program seeks to enhance the spiritual, intellectual, and cultural life at the University and to promote a sense of community. More information is available by calling the GWU Office of Christian Life & Service at 704-406-4277 or visiting gardner-webb.edu.

Smoke Alarm raises concerns; OSFM Discontinues Distribution RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Mike Causey warned fire departments and residents across North Carolina today about concerns relating to Universal smoke alarms. The current issue with Universal smoke alarms had come to the attention of the Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) as a result of reports from fire chiefs and the diligence of the professionals and volunteers installing the alarms. OSFM regularly partners with local communities and fire departments to ensure residents have fully functional and operational smoke detectors installed. The smoke alarms are provided through a program
paid for by the Fire-Safe Cigarette Act for fire prevention and smoke alarm promotion - which has led to over 21,000 smoke alarms being installed and resulted directly in eight saves in North Carolina. “Smoke alarms are your first line of protection in the case of a fire and it is entirely too important to risk your life and property on a faulty product,” said Causey. “I am extremely proud of the great work of the folks who work these canvassing events and happy we continue to protect people inside their homes with properly operating smoke alarms.” Assistant State Fire Marshal Brian Taylor reports that OSFM is in the process of replacing
this product with another smoke alarm and has reported the product to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC has collected samples of the alarms and will be conducting an investigation. If anyone has any information about their personal experience with these alarms to share, please contact consumer product safety investigator Eric Toussaint at 202-3290184 or email him at EToussaint@cpsc.gov. The Office of State Fire Marshal strongly recommends that fire departments across North Carolina discontinue installing this product until the investigation is complete.

Shun Allison Mountaineers’ MVP, Cash wins first Jeff Putnam Award Kings Mountain High held its annual football awards night Thursday at B.N. Barnes Auditorium. Over 100 JV and varsity players received certificates for participating on two teams that combined for a 17-5 overall record. The JVs finished 9-1 and won the SMAC title for the second straight year, and the varsity finished 8-4 and tied for second in the SMAC with county rivals Crest and Burns. Half of the 12 trophies were won by seniors, and the other six by underclassmen who will be back next season to lead the Mountaineers into a four-year stint in the Big South Conference. Shun Allison, who transferred to Kings Mountain from Bessemer City for
his senior season, received the coveted most valuable player award from head coach Greg Lloyd. Lloyd pointed out Allison’s versatility. The all-conference standout started as a slot receiver on offense, safety on defense and also returned kicks and punts. “He showed up in the summer and we knew he was going to be a very good player,” Coach Lloyd said. “He is an unbelievable competitor. He was a god send for us. He was an outstanding role model for the other guys, and he was valuable to us on and off the field.” Junior linebacker JT Cash received the first Jeff Putnam Award, which will be given each year in memory of the popular Mountaineer linebacker coach

McClain was absent due to participation in the NCHSAA state 3A wrestling tournament. “He was a hard worker and dedicated,” noted assistant coach Kevin Cruise. “Anything is possible for him.” The defensive most valuable player award went to senior lineman Khal Welch, who led the team in most defensive categories. Defensive coordinator Daryl Wilson said Welch was a great leader for the defense. He tied for the most tackles with 81, had 18 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback pressures, seven fumble recoveries and 13 sacks. Other winners included: Best defensive back – Reese Reinhardt. Coach Lloyd commended the junior standout’s work ethic, character and leadership abilities, which he said were recognized every day by coaches and teammates.

Best defensive lineman – Jerdon Pressley. Coach Wilson said Pressley, a junior, “epitomizes what Kings Mountain football is all about. He is dedicated, very coachable and leads by example on and off the field.” Pressley racked up 66 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, nine quarterback hurries, five sacks and recovered two fumbles. Junior Collin Franks, a two-year starter, received the Coaches Award from Coach Cruise. “He played multiple positions on the offensive line,” Cruise noted. “He does anything he is asked to do.” Another junior, Jonathan Rikard, received the best offensive lineman award. “Linemen are stuck with the dirty work and get no recog-
nition for it,” Cruise noted, “but our linemen take a lot of pride in what they do. He was a dominant blocker, a hard worker in the weight room and led the team in pancakes.” Wide receiver coach Tyrece Brooks presented the best wide receiver award to senior Kavin Mosley. Mosley led the team with over 900 yards receiving and hauled in 10 TD receptions. He was a two-year varsity starter and made the All-Conference team. The best offensive back award went to freshman Ricaylen Mack, who led the team in rushing with 809 yards. “He had his coming out party in our big win over Crest,” Coach Mike Harris noted. “We’re going to see a lot of good things out him in the future.”
The captain’s award went to senior lineman and long snapper Cooper Short. “He was a pleasure to work with,” Coach Cruise noted. “He stood out on and off the field. He is always positive and has compassion for others.” Strength and conditioning coach Ted Trahan presented the weightlifting award to senior quarterback Darren Burns, who Trahan said approached him after the previous season asking what he had to do to get better. Burns was on his way to becoming the school’s alltime career passing leader but tore his ACL in the fifth game of the season. He has signed to continue his football career at Averett University.

KMMS: Patriots face Shelby in title game tonight From Page 1B rival Crest 71-57 in the first round of the playoffs while Shelby was defeating North Lincoln. That sets up another Shelby-Kings Mountain battle for the second major sport championship of the 201617 school year. Last fall, the Patriots’ football team defeated Shelby for the championship. Wednesday will be the first time since 1999 that the Patriots have played in the championship game. Head coach Shane Cole said they played their “best game at the right time” to defeat Crest. Both teams went scoreless the first two minutes before KM went on a 7-0 run. However, Crest came back to lead 15-14, but that would be the last time they would lead. KM’s Wes Hughes hit a buzzer-beating layup to give the Patriots a 16-15 lead after the first period. In the second quarter, both teams put the pedal to the metal and exchanged basket for basket. KM eventually extended its lead to 32-14 at the break. The Patriots scored the first eight points of the third quarter and took a 54-40 lead into the final chapter. Crest made its last serious run to get within 12 points, but the three-point shooting of Marcus Odums and clutch free throws by Matt Toms sealed the win as the Patriots ran their overall record to 11-3 and scored their season high of
71 points. Five Patriots scored in double figures, led by Kobe Paysour with 18 points. He hit six of 12 shots, grabbed 20 rebounds and dished out seven assists. Odums scored his season high of 15 points, hitting five of 10 from beyond the arc. Wes Hughes scored 14 points on 6 for 9 shooting. Toms added 12 points and three rebounds, Isaiah Tate 10 points, and Caleb Johnston two. Kings Mountain set a school record with 10 threes. Players of the game were Paysour and Odums. Sixth man of the game was Tate. KM shot 13 for 28 from two point land and 10 for 24 from downtown. The Patriots had 35 rebounds, 15 assists and seven steals. Against Burns, Kings Mountain led by just 9-8 after the first quarter and 19-18 at the half. In the third period the Patriots extended their lead to 31-26 and turned the game into a rout in the fourth quarter by outscoring Burns 22-16. Paysour led the way with 18 points on 7 for 14 shooting. He also had 11 rebounds, four assists and seven steals. Toms scored 16 points on 7 for 13 shooting, and also had two rebounds, two assists and two steals. Odums scored 10 points, Johnston had four points and 10 rebounds, Hughes three points and Tate two. Players of the week were Toms and Odums.
Sixth men of the week were Jamie Wilson, Odums and Traveon Conway. Paysour was also outstanding on defense. KM had 28 rebounds, 10 assists and 12 steals. Kings Mountain’s girls defeated Burns 41-22 in their final regular season game to also finish with a 9-1 record in the division. But, in Thursday’s first round playoff game, the Lady Patriots fell to Crest 41-30. Shay Portee led the way against Burns with 18 points. Treazure Hopper added eight and Madison Weber and Sharon Deras had four each. Malazia Banner scored three points and Dreamah Mason and Daraniah Chambers two each. “The whole team played great defense,” noted Coach Monty Deaton. Kings Mountain was never threatened as it broke out to a 17-6 first quarter lead and was on top 22-9 at the break. The Lady Pats led 34-15 going into the fourth period. The Lady Patriots fought hard against Crest, but their season ended with a 10-4 overall record. Three of their four losses came to Crest and Shelby. Hopper led the scoring with 12 points and Shay Portee added 11. Banner, Mason and Kennedy Barnes scored two apiece and Weber one. “Congratulations to the girls on another great season,” Coach Deaton said.

My childhood days of fishing amounted to going to different places along the canal that wound in and out of my little town. GARY MILLER The only fish I ever caught was a carp. I can also remember as a youth the day I was bit by the bass bug. Even though I had never been to the lake, the levee was known to be full of largemouth. And even though it was still in my small town, for a kid who either walked or rode his bicycle everywhere, it was a little further away than I was use to going. One summer morning however, we made the trip to the levee for my first attempt at catching a bass. I don’t exactly remember how I got the information but I would be using as bait a red plastic worm. That day marked two distinct changes that, to this day, still affect my fishing. First, it brought a love for that particular game fish and secondly, it made me learn to love the plastic worm. I caught 5 keeper bass on that first day. When I did start going to the lake as an older youth and a young adult, I can never remember not throwing a plastic worm. In fact, that’s the only bait I ever used. While others were cranking and spinning I was patiently and methodically throwing that worm. It is still my favorite bait today. Much like that infamous first day of bass fishing, there are other markers in all of our lives that changed us forever. Some of those markers were happy moments and some were unhappy – even tragic. But all of them are significant. They are significant because when you put them together, over the years, you see a pattern. It’s a pattern of how God has worked in our lives even when we didn’t realize He was there and at times when we thought we were not going to survive. Even something as simple as a first fishing trip can become a story you are reading right now. Nothing is insignificant to God. Everything is a piece to our puzzle that God is using. If we will let Him, He will take every moment of our life, no matter how good or bad, and use it to make us and the ones around us better. Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years. He also speaks at game dinners and men’s groups for churches and associations.

Hanes Brands receives Safety Recognition The N.C. Department of Labor has recognized HanesBrands Inc. of Kings Mountain with a workplace safety award for reaching 2 million hours with no injuries or illnesses involving days away from work. State Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry presented the company’s Cleveland Distribution Center with the 2 Million-Hour Award Thursday. This distinction recognizes the company for achieving two million employee hours with no injuries or illnesses involving days away from work for the period from April 1, 2015 until Nov. 10, 2016. The NCDOL recognizes industries across the state that accumulate 1 million or more employee hours at their facilities with no cases of injury or illness that involve days away from work. The awards are given in 1 million hour increments. “It is important that we recognize companies when they exceed expectations of safety and health in their workplace, and HanesBrands facility in Kings Mountain has demonstrated that commitment with this recent 2 Million Hour Award,” Commissioner Cherie Berry said. Headquartered in Winston-Salem, HanesBrands is a socially responsible manufacturer and marketer of leading everyday basic apparel under some of the world's strongest apparel brands in the Americas, Europe and Asia/Australia. The company’s iconic innerwear and active-wear

How to Help Older Drivers Give Up the Car Keys Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend that can help me deal with my mom’s bad driving? At age 83, her driving abilities have declined, but I know she’s bound and determined to keep driving as long as she’s alive. Nervous Nelly
lanes? Does she react slowly, get confused easily or make poor driving decisions? Also, has your mom had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on her vehicle? These, too, are red flags. For more assessment tips see SeniorDriverChecklist.info.
Dear Nelly, There’s no doubt that giving up driving can be a tough step for many elderly seniors, as well as a difficult conversation for concerned family members. While there’s no one way to handle this sometimes touchy topic, there are a number of tips and resources that can help you evaluate and adjust your mom’s driving, and ease her out from behind the wheel when she can no longer drive safely.
If you need help with this, consider hiring a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. This typically runs between $100 and $200. Visit AOTA.org/older-driver or ADED.net to locate a specialist in your area.
Assess Her Driving To get a clear picture of your mom’s driving abilities, your first step – if you haven’t already done so – is to take a ride with her and watch for problem areas. For example: Does she drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate or drift between lanes? Does she have difficulty seeing, backing up or changing
Transitioning and Talking After your assessment, if you think it’s still safe for your mom to drive, see if she would be willing to take an older driver refresher course. These courses will show her how aging affects driving skills, and offers tips and adjustments to help ensure her safety. Taking a class may also earn your mom a discount on her auto insurance. To locate a class contact your local AAA (AAA.com) or AARP (AARP.org/drive, 888-227-7669).
Most courses cost around $20 to $30 and can be taken online or in a classroom. If, however, your assessment shows that your mom really does need to stop driving, you need to have a talk with her, but don’t overdo it. If you begin with a dramatic outburst like “mom, you’re going to kill someone!” you’re likely to trigger resistance. Start by simply expressing your concern for her safety. For more tips on how to talk to your mom about this, the Hartford Financial Services Group and MIT AgeLab offers a variety of resources at TheHartford.com/lifetime – click on “Publications” on the menu bar, then on the “We Need To Talk” guidebook. Refuses To Quit If your mom refuses to quit, you have several options. One possible solution is to suggest a visit to her doctor who can give her a medical evaluation, and if warranted, “prescribe” that she stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family.
If she still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to see if they can help. Or, call in an attorney to discuss with your mom the potential financial and legal consequences of a crash or injury. If all else fails, you may just have to take away her keys.
