City Council gave the green light for the establishment and operation of Sidewalk Cafes in the municipal service district last Tuesday night.
The item was included on the consent agenda which does not allow for discussion unless a member of the board requests it. The consent agenda was adopted by vote of 5-2. Councilmen Tommy Hawkins and Keith Miller voted
“against.” Main Street Director Jan Harris said that the adoption of the ordinance means that Thoroughbred Partners can move forward with renovation at 133 West Mountain Street, formerly Stevo’s, beside of the Griffin Drug
building. Thoroughbred Partners has received a rehabilitation grant from the state for $200,000 and plans to also invest private funds and open a restaurant in the building and a sidewalk See COUNCIL OK, Page 7

100th birthday March 18 By Loretta Husky Cozart Special to The Herald
Kings Mountain has lots of treasures, things life wouldn’t be the same without. Some of those treasures are tangible items, like Andrew Mauney’s diary, grandad’s tools, or grandma’s wedding ring. But, when it comes right down to it, these are just “things”. Our most valuable treasures are found in our people. We are blessed with wonderful teachers in our community, many of whom have inspired generations of students to follow in their footsteps. Today, I want to focus on one very special teacher, Miss Ruth Beam. If you’ve been in town for any length of time, you
RUTH BEAM
know that Kings Mountain had two Miss Beams. It became so confusing that folks began calling them the “Old Miss Beam” and the “Young Miss Beam.” For those that know the distinction, I am writing today about the “Young Miss
Beam”. I started my formal education at North Elementary School in 1966. Miss Beam was my first-grade teacher. Our school was half the size it is now; the “new part” wasn’t added until 1969. Most of the kids were from the neighborhood and our teachers were, too. Miss Beam lived on property adjoining the school grounds. We were a family. Miss Beam ran a tight ship; we learned the classroom rules and tried our best to behave. I’ve never managed a classroom, but I suspect managing a group of six-year-olds must be like herding cats. Nonetheless, Miss Beam did it with poise See 100TH BIRTHDAY, Page 4

Gene White enjoys walking for his health and since 2006 has logged 7,135 miles, majority of those miles at Gateway Trail. File photo
For Gene White a life-changing event
7,135 miles and counting Walking has been a personal life-changing event for Gene White and since 2006 he has logged 7,135 miles – an average of 630 miles a year. Gene doesn’t plan to quit. The benefit becomes automatic. The retired Planning Director for the City of Kings Mountain walked for three years at the city’s walking track near the YMCA. Since 2009 when Gateway Trail on S. Battleground Avenue was completed walking almost every day became pure pleasure.
‘’The life-saving event that caused me to begin my program of regular, recorded walking occurred in 2006 when I underwent 42 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. This lasted five days a week for eight weeks. Due to the horror stories of side effects, my decision was to begin walking and recording mileage each day as a distraction,’’ says Gene. He added, “During the eight weeks of treatment my mileage was 142. The last time I was a visitor it was still posted on the Oncology wall.
Gene says side effects turned out to be minimal or non-existent during both treatment and to this day. That was the point in time that he believed walking must really be a good thing. “The Gateway Trail is a pleasure to use. It is designed in such a fashion that it’s very easy to accommodate people of all ages, needs and challenges. The trail is clean, safe, scenic and well maintained. It is rare to walk the trail and not encounter different people of all ages,’’ says White. See WHITE, Page 4

Horton to talk about Ella May Kristina L. Horton, great-granddaughter of Ella May, who made a name for herself in the 1929 Textile Workers’ strike in Gastonia, will talk about “The Martyr of Loray Mill,’’ Saturday, March 11, at 2 p.m. at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum. The Loray Mill strike of 1929 was the biggest communist-led strike in United States history. Ella May’s union involvement, ability to move audiences with her music, and her efforts to support desegregation and labor rights for African Americans at the height of Jim Crow made her a target of violence. At only 28 years old, pregnant, and mother of five children, Ella May was assassinated on her way to a union meeting in Gastonia. Although there were many witnesses, no one was ever held accountable for the crime. Horton will discuss the 1929 strike and ongoing efforts to memorialize Ella May’s legacy, as well as her personal journey in discovering an unsung heroine in one of her ancestors. The book talk is free to the public

ShutterLights take photos of KM sights during Scavenger Hunt Recently, Kings Mountain’s local camera club, the ShutterLight Group met downtown at Gateway Brew to participate in a “Photo Scavenger Hunt.” Members were given a list of items to photograph. Each photographer was encouraged to interpret the list as they chose. The most important thing was to take the images in a creative way by thinking “outside of the box” and using their knowledge of composition, lighting, and camera settings. During the past year this group of photographers have shown an interest of going on outings such as riverhillmonuments.com
this to practice their skills. All levels of photographers are in this group, from beginners to advanced. Some of the pictures taken during this outing were taken using a cell phone camera. You don’t need an expensive camera to learn more about composition. It’s all about training your eye to see and compose for that perfect image. For more information on meetings, call the Art Center at (704) 739-5585 or email Ellen Devenny at shutterlightgroup@gmail. com. See more photos page 7 Down Low by Adam Forcade

100TH BIRTHDAY From Page 1 and grace Miss Beam represents for us all “that special teacher”. The one with whom we made a connection. Whether you chose to become a teacher due to that relationship, or just carry their words with you through life, you know what I mean. I’m sure most folks have someone similar with whom they identify. Perhaps that teacher explained the mysteries of science or the nuances of the English language. Because of them, your life was changed forever. I’ve been blessed to have had several teachers like this. But, Miss Beam was the first teacher to make a difference in my life. She introduced our class to reading and the world of Dick and Jane, Sally, Puff, and Spot. She taught us to stand in line (more-or-less) and follow directions. She helped us understand the importance of “rest periods” and a morning snack of applesauce, gingersnaps, and orange juice. She helped us appreciate the simple things in life that aren’t so simple after all. Miss Beam loved her students, and we loved her. Before the Christmas holidays, we glued dry macaroni onto cardboard cones and spray painted them gold. Voilà, golden Christmas trees! (This was the age of the aluminum Christmas tree, after all.) Each pupil made a Santa from a 5-pointed star, colored his suit with crayons, and glued-on a cotton beard. These were Christmas gifts for our parents. Of all the presents I have given my parents over the years, this Santa lives on in their scrapbooks. But, Miss Beam gave us much more than the ability to read and write and color and glue. She made “learning fun” and set the stage for a lifelong love of learning. That gift remains with me today, fifty years after being in Miss Beam’s classroom. How can one properly thank another for such a precious gift? I don’t think it is possible, but I’ll try. I did some research about
Ruth Beam celebrates 100th birthday March 18.
Miss Beam and I am not surprised by what I found. As an educator, Miss Beam encouraged the community to donate outgrown clothing to be given to needy children. Back in that day, folks just left bags of clothing on their front porches for pickup. Can you imagine someone doing that today? In November 1951, Miss Beam was involved in an accident on the playground at Central School and broke her leg. I don’t know the circumstances, but you’ve got to admire her commitment. The news was reported in the Herald and a substitute teacher took her place until she mended. I reached out to Howard Bryant for information about Miss Beam. Mr. Bryant was our Principal at North School. In addition to his role as principal, Mr. Bryant also taught 6th grade. Mr. Bryant told me that Miss Beam was a wonderful teacher. “She had the ability to recognize a student’s learning challenge and address it. She would work through the problem with the child until he or she succeeded, and the students loved her for that.” Miss Beam has also been involved in Kings Mountain Baptist Church for a very long time. I don’t know the extent
of her service, but I am sure it runs deep. She doesn’t do anything half-way. I know she and Louise Roberts were fastfriends and volunteered with the church’s clothes closet outreach, helping the needy in our community. After retirement, Miss Beam began taking classes at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life Center. Director, Sharon Eaker shared that Miss Beam has been a very active participant and volunteer. “Now, she puts the non-exercisers to shame by walking a mile every day with her walker”. MySeniorCenter Technician, Carol Dixon added, “Ruth was Volunteer of the Year 2010. At the Senior Center, she participates in Quilting Class, Senior Chorus, walks a mile everyday around our indoor walking track, eats at the nutrition site and Friday lunch, served as Bingo Volunteer for years, and volunteers to help at health fairs. Ruth is a wonderful lady that we all love and admire.” The other day, I heard that Miss Beam’s 100th birthday celebration is scheduled for March 18th at Kings Mountain Baptist Church, with a drop-in from 2 pm – 4:30 pm. If you had the honor of being taught by Miss Beam, make
Elementary WHITE Honor Chorus From Page 1 Gene says the benefits of concert March 30 walking are not in doubt. You
Gene suggests an experiment to get started on a walking program at Gateway since all segment areas are labeled as to distance. Once around the lower loop is ¾ of a mile. Forget the hills for right now. Note the start time, write it down. Walk at a relaxed normal pace for the distance., Record the time, number of minutes walked. Repeat this for 30 days, increase pace as is comfortable. At the end of 30 days’ record time needed to walk. You will be pleased and amazed. Your doctor will congratulate you. The big question is: will this time and effort pay off in wellbeing, better health and even longer life? Gene is counting on that result and he says his doctor will surely agree. “The way that I view this situation is that every day of consistent walking results in a day less at the local skilled care facility,’’ says Gene. But, he adds, “if you feel that being at home watching the soaps, texting, I-phoning and Facebook – those are personal choices. A walk at Gateway Trail sounds good to him and with the early spring everything is starting to bloom and walking the trail is the perfect place to enjoy life.
The 135-voice Cleveland County Elementary Schools’ Honor Chorus will present a concert March 30 at 7 p.m. in Malcolm Brown Auditorium at Shelby High School. The concert is free and open to the public. Sherry Young, Choral Director at Kings Mountain Middle School, will be accompanist for the concert. The concert will be presented by “some of the best elementary school singers in Cleveland County,’’ said Dr. Stephen Fisher, Superintendent of Schools. The program will open with the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” with Kenny Collins, conductor. Lea Chrisawn will conduct “Let All the World in Every Corner Sing:” by Sally Albrecht. Deanna Webb will conduct “Dry Bones” by Dave and Jean Perry. Susan Fogleman will conduct, with Mary Fogleman on violin, “Sim Shalom,’’ a prayer for peace, by Will Lopes. Jami Bumgarner will conduct “High Flying Flag,’’ a Chohan arrangement, Rebecca Smith will conduct When I Am Silent” by Joan Varner, Barbara McNeilly will conduct “I Bought Me a Cat,’’ by Aaron Coplan and the closing Rollo Dilworth song, “Walk in Jerusalem,’’ will be conducted by Susan Gray.
need not buy or pay for anything except a good pair of shoes. You are not in competition with anyone other than yourself. You can walk any time between dawn to dusk, seven days a week. There are nice bathroom facilities on site. How do we really know that simple walking just one hour a day for 5 to 7 days a week is beneficial? Gene says that with good nutrition your body weight will improve as well as your need for some medications. Best of all you will begin to feel better, he says, and you will likely not suffer sprains or muscle problems associated with running or other types of heavy duty exercises. “There are some benefits of walking the Gateway Trail, Gene points out. “You will not tire of enjoying the beauty and utility of the trail. The views are just another bonus. Should I have a normal headache it will go away after 5 or 10 minutes. It is a combination of increased blood flow and getting rid of tension. After walking you will notice that normal aches and pains disappear.”
QUILT – Ruth Beam stands proudly shows off the quilt that was a project at the Patrick Senior Center. Beam remains active in the Senior Center activities. plans to drop-in and wish her a happy birthday. It only takes a moment of your time, but I’m sure it will mean the world to her. After all, we are “her kids”. She had the patience of Job with us, even though we weren’t perfect. She took the time to help us sound-out words, tie our shoes, mediate playground squabbles, mend scrapes, and prepare for the world ahead. She started us off on the right path. Sonya McAbee Gregory described best the feelings of many of Miss Beam’s students when she wrote, “Ms. Beam was so very special to us all. I loved her as my teacher. And she was a shin-
ing example as to what every teacher should aspire to be!” I hope you will join me on March 18th at Kings Mountain Baptist Church, to celebrate Miss Ruth Beam’s 100th birthday, and to thank her for her lifelong commitment to the children and people of Kings Mountain. If you can’t make the event, please drop her a birthday card or note. When I mentioned on Facebook I was writing this article, lots of folks shared personal stories. Scotty Price wrote: “Ruth Beam, Ms. Deadmon, and Macie Covington were my inspirations to become a first-grade teacher. Loved and remember all from Central School in the late for-
ties.” Miss Beam is an example for us all. At 100, she is going strong, staying active, and enjoying life. By all accounts, hers is a life well-lived. Keep it up, Miss Beam! You lead by example and we still have lessons to learn from you. Most of all, I want Miss Beam to know that “your kids” love you and are beholding to you for caring, teaching, guiding, and nurturing us at such an important time in our lives. You love us and we love you. No matter your age, you will always be, for us, “our” Young Miss Beam.

■ MEDITATION
The Right Recipe: Part 1 of 6 Many years ago, the my world was turned upside down after gradu a t i n g university. One Rev. Joshua would Morgan think that Advent Lutheran Church a degree, minor, and concentrate would land a sound job; however, I had to fall back on old learned habits to make ends meet. My love of food, recipe, flare, and the “wow factor,” landed me back in the kitchens of country club cooking that I saw hastily ran from.
I knew that to get the wow of the audience in which I was serving, cooking, and for a moment in time (allowing them to escape the worries of life), there had to be precision. I would study my culinary text books, Google exotic recipes, and add my own unique flavor, so others could experience the joy they had in preparing the perfect dish. No unlike the making a perfect, show-stopping, dinner entrée, so too, God was proofing a recipe to save his beloved children. Time and time again, the warning signs were there that something had to change. The Israelites thought they had a foolproof recipe that would ensure a show-stopping performance before their God:
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They had taken the holy prescription for righteousness, and prevented it into heartless and faithless rituals that was not pleasing to God. Their vanity and prideful nature was not well pleasing in God’s sight- so the prophets were sent to temper the hearts of God’s chosen people. Joel 2:13 ISV clearly states that one should Tear your hearts, not your garments; and turn back to the LORD your God. For he is gracious and compassionate, slow to become angry, overflowing in gracious love, and grieves about this evil. Simply put, their way of doing things was not up to standard with God, as shown in
these prophetic words for the Prophet Joel. Our hearts should be turning back to God. Our lives should be radiating God’s love. Furthermore, our actions should not be that of evil, but of good deeds that mirror the marvels of God’s compassion. As we travel through this Lenten Season, that started last Ash Wednesday, be mindful that our actions speak louder that words; but God’s actions are greater that any we could ever comprehend. Our ingredients of ME, MYSELF, and I do not fit into the recipe of God’s command to turn back to him! Gracious God, be with us, and make us acceptable in your sight. Amen.
Mended Hearts meet Monday

East Elementary student excited about reading and lessons on anti-bullying East Elementary School celebrated Read Across America last week in honor of what would have been Dr. Seuss’s 113th birthday and in connection with Anti-Bullying Week. Students and staff were delighted with Wooly No Bully, the newest anti-bullying advocate for Cleveland County Schools who was making his debut at East prior to scheduling visits with other schools in the county. He entertained students and staff with stories and tips for dealing with a bully and delivered a message from Supt. Dr. Stephen Fisher. Wooly danced and high 5’s was seen all around the school. “Orange you glad you’re not a bully” was the theme of one day’s activities and students and staff wore orange on Orange Day. Mustache Day was also a special day of activities as part of anti-bullying week. High School students and other readers from the community visited the classrooms every day last week and read stories to the students.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Rural Development Bessemer City: Preliminary Notice of Potential Impacts to Floodplains AGENCY: Rural Housing Service (RHS), USDA ACTION: Preliminary Notice of Potential Impacts to Floodplains SUMMARY: Bessemer City intends to seek financial assistance from USDA, RHS for construction and improvements to public works facilities. The proposed project consists of the construction of three (3) new buildings including an administrative office, storage shed, and workshop. The renovation updates will be devoted to the existing facilities’ offices, bathrooms, and workshops. The proposed exterior improvements include replacing an existing culvert, repaving of existing asphalt, new pavement, fencing, and landscaping. Of all the construction activity, only a small portion of the driveway improvements to the southern parking lot as proposed would encroach on the 100-year floodplain. By adding little or no fill material, the placement of the driveway to the parking lot will have very little impact on floodplain volume. If implemented, the proposed project will convert 0.23 acres of the 100-year floodplain and 0.16 acres of the 500-year floodplain located at 321 East Lee Avenue, Bessemer City, NC 28016. In accordance with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management and USDA Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use Policy, the purpose of this notice is to inform the public of this proposed conversion or effect and request comments concerning the proposal, alternative sites or actions that would avoid these impacts, and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts.

damage that Mother Nature or local wildlife might have caused over the past several months. • Clear debris. Garden beds and surrounding landscapes that survived winter without being damaged might still be littered with debris. Remove fallen leaves, branches and even litter that blew about on windy winter days before planting season. Make sure to discard any debris effectively so it does not find its way back into the garden. • Turn the greenhouse into a clean house. Spring cleaning is not just for the interior of a home. Cleaning a greenhouse in advance of spring can help gardeners evict any overwintering pests that can threaten plant
life once spring gardening season arrives. A thorough cleaning, which should include cleaning the inside of greenhouse glass and washing flower pots and plant trays, also can prevent plant diseases from surviving into spring. • Check for pests. Speak with a local gardening professional to determine if there are any local pests to look out for and how to recognize and remove these pets from gardens. Pests may hibernate in the soil over the winter, and such unwelcome visitors can make it difficult for gardens to thrive come spring and summer. • Assess plant location.

Decks add character and functionality to a home, increasing outdoor entertaining space and oftentimes improving the resale value of a home. Homeowners have various options when choosing decking materials, but one such option, composite decking, is growing in popularity. Decks used to primarily be made from pressure-treated lumber. While lumber remains a popular material, more and more homeowners are opting for composite decking products. As anyone who has pressure-washed, stained and sealed wood decks can attest, such spaces require lots of upkeep to look new year after year. Composite decks require much less maintenance, making them highly attractive to homeowners who would rather spend time using their decks instead of maintaining them.
cent years or never grew especially vibrant, then gardeners may want to assess the location of their plant life before spring gardening season begins. Some plants may not be getting enough sunlight in certain locations on a property, while others might be overexposed to the sun during spring and summer. Moving plants that are not thriving prior to the start of spring gardening season may be just what gardens need to flourish in the coming weeks. Spring gardening season is right around the corner, so now is an ideal time to prepare gardens for the warmer seasons ahead.
Composite decking is any type of decking material that is formulated from different recycled materials. The majority of these materials include hard plastic and wood shavings of
pulp. Unlike wood, which can fade, crack and rot, composite decking, which has been available for roughly a decade, does not degrade quickly and requires very little upkeep.
Available in a variety of wood colors to match outdoor decor, composite decks also can feature artificial wood grains to make them look similar to wood planks. Although com-

Composite decks do have a few drawbacks. They can be expensive — nearly double the initial cost of wood decks. And although they don’t rot, composite planks can scratch. Without refinishing, damaged boards will need to be replaced. Harsh chemicals may fade color and damage the composite materials, so caution is needed. Composite decking remains an in-demand choice for outdoor spaces. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, these decks have quickly become favorites among homeowners.

posite decks are not completely impervious to the elements, with some occasional washing to impede mold growth and new technology that has improved stain-resistance, many of the pitfalls of other materials can be avoided with composite decks. Composite decking fits in with eco-friendly lifestyles. The planks are made from recycled materials that would normally end up in landfills. Products from Trex, a popular composite decking manufacturer, are made from 1.5 million shopping bags and wood mill waste. As composite decks do not rot away and are long-lasting, they will not need to be replaced frequently, which is another ecofriendly benefit. When comparing composite decking brands, look mainly at the colors, materials used in the composition and the fastening

Post-winter garden prep Lawns and gardens can bear the brunt of winter weather and are often in need of tender loving care by the time spring arrives. Preparing a garden for spring and summer involves assessing any damage that harsh weather might have caused. As temperatures climb, gardeners can heed the following post-winter garden preparation tips in an effort to ensure some successful gardening in the months ahead. • Assess the damage. Even if winter was mild, gardens might still have suffered some damage. Inspect garden beds and any fencing or barriers designed to keep wildlife from getting into the garden.

Madisyn Bolin pitches a gem but Bulldogs win 1-0 in ninth It was obvious from the beginning that on a cold, windy night at Lancaster Field that one run would decide Friday’s SMAC baseball game between host Kings Mountain and the Burns Bulldogs. Kings Mountain senior right hander Madisyn Bolin and Burns southpaw Alex Pendleton hooked up in a pitcher’s duel and the game wasn’t decided until after both pitchers reached the new NCHSAA 105-pitch count rule and had to leave the mound. Burns pushed across a run in the top of the ninth to prevail 1-0. The win dropped Kings Mountain to 1-1 in the conference and 1-2 overall heading into another county battle last night at Shelby. Bolin worked eight full innings, giving up just three hits and striking out 13 bat-
ters before moving to center field. Pendleton exited the mound after six innings after allowing just two hits and fanning seven. Although he was no longer pitching, Pendleton started the game-winning rally by leading off with a bunt single in the top of the ninth against KM relief ace Daniel Bagwell. He stole second, went to third on an infield out and scored on Colson Miller’s single to left. Kings Mountain tried to counter in the bottom of the ninth when catcher John Harmon Melton reached first on a one-out single. But Burns reliever Dalton Putnam got Bryson Bailey and Steven Russell on fly balls to center to end the game. In one of his best efforts during an outstanding prep career, Bolin struck out at
Madisyn Bolin struck out 13 batters in Friday’s game with Burns at Lancaster Field. He didn’t figure into the decision as Burns scored the only run of the game in the ninth inning. least one batter in seven of the eight innings he pitched. He fanned the side in the second and struck out two batters in four other innings. Both teams threatened on
a couple of occasions prior to the ninth. Burns’ only solid hit off Bolin came with one out in the top of the first when Wade Walker doubled to left and made it to third when Putnam reached on an error. Bolin struck out Miller and got Jason Davis on a groundout to second to end the inning. Burns’ Cameron Price singled, stole second and went to third on a passed ball in the top of the third, but Bolin got out of the inning with a strikeout and Putnam’s grounder to first. Walker reached on a one-out Texas League single to right in the sixth but the Mountaineers pulled a double play on Putnam’s grounder to short. Those were the only See KM/BURNS, Page 12
John Bell ripped three hits in Kings Mountain’s 6-3 SMAC win over East Rutherford last week.
Mountaineers beat East in SMAC opener Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers opened their South Mountain Athletic Conference season last week with a 6-3 victory over East Rutherford’s Cavaliers in Forest City. Senior Bryson Bailey started and worked into the seventh inning, giving up three earned runs on eight hits. He walked only two and struck out five. After a walk brought the
potential tying run to the plate, Daniel Bagwell came on in relief and earned a save by recording a foul out and ground ball to end the game. John Bell led an 11-hit KM plate attack with three hits, including a double. Alec Bell and Bailey also contributed RBI doubles, and Steven Russell scored two runs.

Kickers beat East, Burns Kings Mountain High’s women’s soccer team opened South Mountain Athletic Conference play last week with impressive victories over East Rutherford, 7-0, and Burns, 10-1. Several players had multiple-goal games, led by Cassidy Calhoun and Maggie Lloyd with six goals each. Lloyd had a hat trick in each game and also added one assist against East and two against Burns. Calhoun also had six goals for the week, including two against East and four against
Burns. She had three assists against East and two against Burns. Bella Sherrin and Georgia Moss each had a goal against East. Raegan Buchanan had two assists and Carly Johnson one. Baylee Marr was in goal for the shutout. Olivia Martin scored two goals, and Sarah Drennan added a goal and two assists against Burns. Buchanan, Moss, Mackenzie Ramsey and Lauren Campbell each had an assist. Kings Mountain was scheduled to go to Shelby last night.
Delph also led the team in assists with 155, steals with 52 and was the number two rebounder with 222. Senior Josh Helton led the team in rebounds (324 and 11.2 per game) and blocks (81) while finishing third in scoring with 299 points and 10.3 per game. Sophomore Zeke Littlejohn finished second in scoring with 491 points and a 16.9 average. For the girls, Clark led in assists with 90, followed by Leeasia Rhodes with 61 and Sarah Drennan with See BASKETBALL, Page 12

KM Middle beats Shelby Kings Mountain Middle School opened its baseball season last week with a 16-0, five-inning win over Shelby. Devin Pressley got the win on the mound. He struck out five and gave up only two hits in two innings of work. Clint Turner pitched three innings, striking out eight while surrendering only two hits. Jackson Bolin led the plate attack with a single, double and triple. Trey Crawford added a single and triple and four runs batted in. Boone Car-
tee was 2-for-2 with a single and triple, and Chris Ruffalo had two singles. Players getting one hit each were Turner, Peyton Fisher, AJ Wylie, Brandon Bullock and Brayden Garris. As a team the Patriots went 14 for 31 at the plate. Kings Mountain opened its season against Crest, but it was suspended with KM leading 8-7 with two outs and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh inning. That game was scheduled for completion Monday.
Kings Mountain High’s girls softball team had a disappointing 4-3 loss at East Rutherford last Thursday in a game in which all four Cavalier runs were unearned. Freshman Summer Deaton went the distance on the mound, scattering seven hits
and striking out four. Deaton also led the KM plate attack with 2-for-3. Kings Mountain carried a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the fourth, when the Cavaliers took advantage of KM errors to score the two runs See SOFTBALL, Page 12

From Page 11 times Burns got runners on base against Bolin. Kings Mountain’s luck against Pendleton wasn’t that much better. The Burns southpaw retired the first five batters he faced before designated hitter Bryson Bailey singled to center with two out in the second. Hunter Cash reached on an error to lead off the third. Melton drew a walk with two outs in the fourth, but his courtesy runner was picked off to end the inning. David Bell beat out an infield hit with one out in
the sixth and got to second on a two-out wild pitch. John Bell walked but Pendleton got Bolin on a fly out. Melton was hit by a pitched ball to open the bottom of the seventh, and was sacrificed to second by Bailey. But Putnam fanned Russell and the Bulldogs barely got Cash on a slow roller to second to end the inning. David Bell was hit by a pitch with one out in the eighth, but was erased on Palmer Davis’ ground ball to short. Davis was left on when John Bell grounded to second.

KM JVs tie Burns 4-4, host Draughn Friday
Joe Ruffalo gave up just two hits in four innings on the mound in Friday’s JV game with Burns at KMHS. (Photo by Gary Smart)
The Kings Mountain and Burns JV baseball teams ended Friday’s game at Lancaster Field in a time-shortened 4-4 tie. Conference rules require that JV games be cut short if necessary so varsity games begin on time. Joe Ruffalo got the start for KM and went four innings, giving up just two hits and striking out five. Seth Kennedy pitched the final two innings, giving up two hits and striking out four. Burns scored one run in the first only to see KM answer with three in the bottom of the first. The Mountaineers’ runs came on a two-run single by Silas Price and a sacrifice fly by Blake Broome.
In the second, Burns tied the game at 3 and that’s where it stayed until the top of the fifth when Burns took a 4-3 lead. In the bottom of the sixth, KM’s Nathan Philips ripped a RBI single to tie the game, and that’s when it ended due to time. Leading the Mountaineers at the plate were Phillips, Price and Zach Crawford with two hits each. Also adding hits were Kennedy, Bryce Fisher, Brittain Clark, Broome and David Willis. KM moves to 1-1-1 on the year. The Mountaineers were scheduled to play at Shelby yesterday, will travel to South Point today at 5 p.m. and host Draughn Friday at 4 p.m.

How to Find Affordable High-Speed Home Internet Services Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any resources that can help me find affordable highspeed home Internet services? I’m retired and live primarily on my Social Security and would like to find something cheaper than the $40 per month that I currently pay. Searching Senior Dear Searching, There are two great resources you can turn to, to help you locate lowcost or discounted Internet services, but’s what’s available to you will depend on where you live and/or your income level. Here’s where to begin. Low-Cost Internet Your first step to locate cheaper high-speed Internet is EveryoneOn, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to making affordable Internet services available to all Americans. Through partnerships with Internet providers like Comcast, Cox, AT&T, T-Mobile, Mediacom and
others, EveryoneOn can help you search for services in your area that provide high-speed (4G LTE) Internet at a very low cost. Most participating companies charge around $10 per month, with no contract and no equipment fee. However, for non-income qualifiers, there may be a one-time setup/equipment fee of $62. Data plans will vary too.
also provides referrals to affordable computers and free computer classes. Most of the companies they work with offer refurbished tablets usually for under $100, and computers for under $160 that are available to everyone. And, they provide referrals to free computer classes, which are typically offered in public libraries across the U.S.
To start your search, go to EveryoneOn.org and type in your ZIP code and click on the “Find Offers” button, or you can call 877-947-4321. You’ll then need to answer a few questions regarding you household financial situation so the Internet services you’re eligible for can be located.
Discounted Internet If you don’t have any luck finding a low-cost service through EveryoneOn, and your income is low enough, another option is the Lifeline Assistance Program. This is a federal program that provides a $9.25 monthly subsidy to help pay for broadband Internet service, or for a home or wireless phone. Only one benefit is available per household; either phone service (home or wireless) or Internet (home or mobile), but not both.
Some providers offer their services only to people with limited financial resources, however there are others that offer low-cost deals to everyone regardless of income. What’s available to you will depend on where you live. Also note that in addition to the lowcost Internet services, EveryoneOn
To qualify, you’ll need to show that your annual household income is at or below 135 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – which is
$16,281 for one person, or $21,924 for two. Or, that you’re receiving certain types of government benefits, such as Medicaid, food stamps, SSI, public housing assistance, veterans pension or survivors pension benefit, or live on federally recognized Tribal lands. To apply, you’ll need to contact an Internet provider in your area that participates in the Lifeline program and ask for an application form. To locate providers in your area, visit LifelineSupport.org or call 888-641-8722. Once the provider verifies your eligibility, they will begin service. (NOTE: The Internet companies that partner with EveryoneOn do not currently accept the lifeline subsidy.) 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.

Goff’s 73 leads KM over Crest Kings Mountain High’s golfers opened their season Monday with an impressive win over Crest and Burns at Riverbend Golf Club. Four Mountaineer golfers shot in the 70s to lead
the 303-307 victory over host Crest. Burns shot 373. Alex Goff of the Mountaineers was the medalist with a one-over-par 73. Carson Bailey shot a 76 and Dawson Adams and Tyler
Withers both had 77s. Joey Blanton shot 81. The Mountaineers will travel to Cleveland County Club next Tuesday for a match hosted by Burns.
KMMS whips Crest Monday Kings Mountain Middle’s baseball team ran its record to 2-0 Monday with an 8-4 victory over Crest. Chris Ruffalo, Clint Turner and Boone Cartee handled the mound duties.
They scattered eight hits, struck out six and walked four. Trey Crawford led the hitting with 2-for-2 including a sacrifice RBI. Jaxson Bolin also had two hits.
Ruffalo, Devin Pressley, AJ Wylie, Brayden Garris and Brandon Bullock had a hit apiece. The Patriots were scheduled to play at Shelby yesterday.
Water fitness, classes, sports Are busy YMCA activities Mark Blanton, Advertising Director of The Kings Mountain Herald and manager of The Mink Band, presented music and was vocalist for the entertainment program at the Neisler Life Enrichment Center in Kings Mountain last Friday.
Kevin Osborne, Vice-President and Executive Director of Kings Mountain YMCA, gave a report to city council last Tuesday on activities underway at the Y. Osborne said that 12-15 are enrolled in water fitness at Neisler Natatorium at Kings Mountain High School with pool temperatures up to 80-81 and that Seniors in Motion, a group exercise class, has about 30 participants at the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life and Conference Center. The new ballet program is also enrolling students interested in classical ballet classes with an average of 20 students. The After-School program conducted by the YMCA has
57 children participating at the Y and those include children from West, Bethware, East, North Elementary, Kings Mountain Middle and Kings Mountain Intermediate School. The YMCA recently received a USDA grant which offers more snacks and healthy choices for students in the After-School program. The YMCA program “Livestrong,” is a free 16week program for cancer survivors and their family members. “It’s one of the best programs we do,’’ said Osborne. A Pre-Diabetes class started in January at the Public Works building. Youth basketball just
wrapped up its season with 300 girls and boys ages 3 to 18 playing. This was an alltime high in attendance. Last week Adult basketball got underway at the Y with 14 teams and 125 adults participating. The YMCA is now enrolling for spring sports and Osborne estimates that 700 young people will be participating in soccer, t-ball, girls’ softball and baseball. Boys and girls 3-15 can participate. Osborne said that the YMCA partnered with Kings Mountain High School the past weekend and hosted the High School Softball Jamboree, a huge event, with big crowds.
