Donation tickets are $8 and the event is for those older than 13. “Apples and Airplanes” and Alex Christie will provide music for jamming.

From our Founding Facess. It is often said “prayer thers came the concept of

National Day of Prayer (1775). Not prayer to a generic god, or a god of silence, nor prayer to the plethora of gods of a pluralistic society. No, they prayed to the God “that hears prayer” (Psalms 65: 2). From George Washington’s prayer journal, we find, Sunday Morning Prayer, “remove my sin as far as the east is from the west, accept me for the merits of thy Son Jesus Christ, who lay down His life and rose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.” Sunday evening through the week. Morning and evening he invoked the name of Jesus Christ. “O most Glori-

ous God, in Jesus Christ, my merciful and loving Father.” Clearly, he was not confused in whom he trusted. Even the most non-religious, Ben Franklin, called the Continental Congress to pray while, grappling to draft our Constitution cited, “Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” (Psalm 127:1). And the other Founder’s writings, space too limited here to cite, reveal their prayers and faith in their only hope, the God of the Bible. In light of this, the Congress called for a National Day of Prayer in 1775 and our current observance was instituted in 1955.

This May 4th, from coast to coast, citizens will gather at their respective city halls to pray for our nation. Never in history have we needed to pray more than now. This Thursday, beginning at 8 a.m., at 14th annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast at Family Worship Center and following at noon at City Hall, Kings Mountain city officials, businessmen, clergy, and citizens will gather to ask the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, to once again bless America! Let us lift up that petition to the God who hears AND answers prayer.

El Bethel Breakfast El Bethel United Methodist Church will serve the traditional country breakfast Saturday, May 6, from 6:30-10 a.m. at the church fellowship hall. A bake sale will also be held. For carry outs, call 704-9174.

Kevin Barrick is pictured with Bebu and Buti, two young boys he is teaching English in Ethiopia. The Kings Mountain man is sponsoring Benefit Game Night May 12 at Mauney Memorial Library Community Room as a fundraiser to help the boys and their families.

Ethiopian families benefit From ‘Game Night’ May 12 An International humanitarian fundraiser is being spearheaded by a local Kings Mountain young adult Kevin M. Barrick. Barrack ‘s home away from Kings Mountain is Ethiopia and he is sponsoring a community-wide Benefit Game Night at Mauney Memorial Library Community Room Friday, May 12, from 5-9 p.m. to raise funds for a lightweight sewing machine, sewing supplies, and funds to help an Ethiopian grandmother remodel her home restaurant. Light refreshments will be served. Tickets for Game Night are $5 donation and other donations are welcome by emailing Kevin at kevinmbarrick@gmail.com Barrick teaches English to

Bebu, age 14, and Buti, age 10 and his goal is to bring the two students to America in the next four or five years so they can attend an American school. He wants to use Rosetta Stone English to teach them instead of the curriculum available in Ethiopia and he hopes he can raise enough money before he returns to Ethiopia to do just that. He is in need of Rosetta Stone English levels 1-5. ‘’I am also raising funds to be able to remodel the home restaurant of the grandmother of these students. Tsege, the grandmother, has been struggling with a bad lower back for years and just recently broke her arm during a fall, said Kevin. He continued, “Due to a new influx of businesses with decent facilities

and better menu options, she has been struggling to keep her head above water. The kitchen is in need of repair, the walls need to be patched up and repainted and the floors need to be leveled out.” Kevin is also working with Genet, the mother of one of his students, to kickstart her sewing business where she wants to work as a seamstress as well as operate a wedding party dress rental agency. She needs a sewing machine, needles, threads, Fiscar sewing scissors, shears, etc. “I will appreciate all the assistance I can get from Kings Mountain area people in these projects and hope that many will attend the benefit Game Night,’’ said Barrick.

The 66th annual National Day of Prayer observance will be held at 12 noon in front of City Hall under sponsorship of the Kings Mountain Ministerial Association of which Rev. Ron Caulder is

president. Mayor Scott Neisler will preside and special music and prayers will be offered on the theme, “For Your Name Sake” from Daniel 9:19. “Come and be part of this time of prayer as we join with all people all across America as we cry out for God’s direction and healing hand of restoration upon our beloved nation,’’ said Pastor Caulder.

ure. We all will fail at some point in our lives and we can choose to use our failures as stepping stones to success. I challenge my students to never give up.’ Cooke says a very wise teacher once told her “Students do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Cooke said the majority of her students have made extremely low scores on their state tests in math for years. They enter her classroom with very little confidence, dreading their time spent in Math I. One child had failed math the previous year and was afraid to ask questions and had lost all confidence in her ability to learn., Within a few weeks of the semester, the child told her teacher that the family was homeless. She had greater worries in life than Math, a heartbreaking reality for many students. The teacher created a safe place in the classroom for the student who began to thrive. The Math I classroom is a fun, interactive atmosphere. On a typical day, students work in their “interactive math notebook, working both individually and as a team. Cooke says she has no answer to every problem in the

classroom. But when an environment is unstable at home it can be very hard for a student to focus. “We can’t fix every challenging family situation but we can ensure that we identify our “at risk” students and provide them with resources and support needed to succeed in unideal circumstances,’’ she adds. For Callie Cooke, her profession is a calling. Says Gregory, “I never imagined that as a teacher assistant there would be days where I would have to excuse myself from class to cry for a student that was in a tough situation at home or endure sleepless nights worrying about how to reach a student in class to help him succeed.” She added, “My preconceived notions about this job were far from reality. I work closely with our school social worker to anonymously offer assistance when the need arises. One of my greatest passions in life is to help others.” Gregory keeps track of students who are college-bound, those working online, loves computers and shares that expertise with students.

She loves to travel, enjoys church activities at First Baptist Church and is always cheering her children at track and cross country meets, dance and sports activities. In her Philosophy of teaching, Cooke said that contrary to popular opinion a classroom is much more than four walls and a whiteboard. She said her classroom expresses who she is as an educator and her philosophy of teaching. When students enter her Math I classroom they are greeted by a Michael Jordan quote’’ I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games – 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.’’ “I teach my students how to succeed in math and in life,’’ says Cooke. “It is our duty to challenge them, to excite them in their educational journey and to build meaningful and encouraging relationships with them. But it is also my responsibility to teach my students about fail-

est manufacturers and suppliers of plastic parts in the Southeastern United States. Henry Raxter and four others began the plastic fabrication company in Gastonia. Shortly after, the company was moved from Gastonia to Dallas and then found its new home in Bessemer City where it remained on NC 161, Bessemer City, for 45 years. Many of its employees have 20-30 years of service with the business. “That’s one of the many things that helps make the business feel more like family than a corporation,’’ said company spokesman. In May 2016 Plastic Products Inc. began operating solely out of the new and improved facility in May of 2016. Cleveland Chamber members and city and county officials, and representatives of business and industry and customers of Plastic Products helped Plastic Products staff and employees cut the ribbon, enjoyed refreshments and took a tour of the building. A former occupant of the now Plastic Products business building was Thermacote Welco. The spacious brick building had been vacant for some time. See Photos on Page 5B

What did Lewis and Clark do after their famous trip across the continent? Is there a conspiracy connecting The Shot Heard Round the World, Abraham Lincoln, JFK, and OJ Simpson? The Washington Post calls this show “comic gold… a merry, nose-tweaking outing,” while the New York Times dubs it, “...intellectual vaudeville.” According to Sabrina Short, one of the performers, “This show is the most fun I’ve had with American History since our last rehearsal.” Kings Mountain High School will feature two casts for this production, each performing two shows.

Henry Raxter owned and operated Plastic Products, Inc. until 2007, leaving the company in the hands of family and people that he trusted to uphold the standards of Plastic Products. “We looked at buying land and putting up a new building and then we saw this existing building and it’s ideal,’’ said one of the four owners, Eddie Smith. Previously, the business operated out of two buildings, 15,000 square feet each. One was located on Second Street in Kings Mountain and the other was on NC 161, Bessemer City Road, the latter secondary facility housing machines and materials. “Operating out of two facilities was tough,’’ according to new owners Karen Fore, Eddie Smith, Jay Raxter and Lee Raxter.

KM Hall of Fame is Saturday night The 30th annual Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame banquet and induction ceremony will be held Saturday, May 6 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available at Kings Mountain High School, from members of the Hall of Fame committee, and at the door. This year’s inductees are the 1950 Davidson High School basketball team that played for the state championship; former KMHS football coach Bob Jones, former KMHS basketball coach Danny McDowell, former KMHS basketball standout Susan Mitchem Dukes, former KMHS state champion golfer Michael Jolly, and former KMHS

and Wingate University softball star LaRonda McClain. In addition, the Hall of Fame will recognize Gary Smart Sr., Ed Guy, Curtis Pressley and the late Dan Huffstetler with its annual Distinguished Service Awards. Numerous KMHS seniors will receive scholarships. The Davidson basketball team will be inducted by retired Highland Tech coach Butch Blalock, whose late father, John, was a member of the team. All living members of the team are expected to be present. Coach Jones will be inducted by one of his former Mountaineer quarterbacks, Colonel Mike Bumgarner,

Ret./US Army. McClain will be inducted by her former high school coach, Suzanne Grayson, and Dukes will be inducted by a former teammate and KM Hall of Famer Priscilla Rickenbacker. McDowell will be inducted by his former assistant coach at KMHS, Rev. Lamont Littlejohn of Shelby. The Davidson basketball team was unique in that it played all of its home games on a dirt court outside the school off Parker Street. The team defeated some of the perennial powers in this part of the state before falling in the state finals in Raleigh. Coach Jones was an outstanding three-sport athlete

in high school and went on to pitch several years in the Giants farm system before going into teaching and coaching. He began his coaching career at Holbrook High School in Lowell. His 1969 team made it all the way to the state championship game before falling to Hendersonville. After that school year, Holbrook students joined former Gastonia Ashley students at the new Ashbrook High School and some of Jones’ former players helped lead the Green Wave to the state 4A championship game. Jones became head coach at KMHS in 1971 and served in that capacity for seven years. He also as-

sisted Dan Brooks at KMHS and David Heffner at KM Middle as well as coaching American Legion baseball and helping mold the talents of young tennis players in town. Jolly was a state championship golfer at KMHS and played four years at UNC Charlotte. He is now a representative for Cleveland Golf, scouting outstanding young golfers to represent Cleveland on pro tours. McDowell is the only KMHS basketball coach to ever win three consecutive conference championships, and two of those teams came within one game of playing in the state championship. He is now head basketball coach at Bessemer City High.

McClain was a threesport athlete at KMHS. She was a four-time all-conference standout for Suzanne Grayson’s softball teams and led the team in hitting each season. She was a member of the 2005 and 2006 state championship teams and went on to Wingate University, where she was an all-star outfielder all four years there. Susan Mitchem was a three-time all-conference player for the KMHS girls basketball team. Long before high schools put in the 3-point field goal, Mitchem was just the third player in KMHS girls basketball history to score over 1,000 career points.

Kings Mountain’s Kevin Mack will be inducted into the Cleveland County MACK Sports Hall of Fame at its annual dinner and induction ceremony Tuesday, May 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Shelby City Park. Mack, who was one of the original four inductees into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame 30 years ago, was the running star of the 1979 Mountaineer football team that finished with an 8-2 overall record and gave state cham-

pion South Point its toughest game of the season. All four members of the 1979 KMHS coaching staff – head coach Dan Brooks and assistants David Brinkley, Steve Foster and Bob Jones – will be attending the Hall of Fame banquet. Mack went on to play for the national champion Clemson Tigers where he was an Honorable Mention All-American and set a record for most single season yards by a fullback. From there, he played one season in the USFL before joining the Cleveland Browns where he broke Jim See MACK, Page 4B

At RS, Cassidy Calhoun also scored twice, and Summer Campbell and Zoe Eagan once each. Calhoun had two assists and Campbell, Lloyd, and Nicola Bridges one each. Friday night at Ashe-

ville, Calhoun and Sarah Drennan scored a goal apiece to go with Lloyd’s pair. Calhoun, Lloyd, Paloma Dettloff and Georgia Moss had an assist each.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—A senior from Kings Mountain (N.C.) High School will receive a financial aid package that provides full tuition, room and board for four years of study at Gardner-Webb University. Jaylen Garvin has been awarded the R.W. Andrews Scholarship Fund established in 1998. The scholarship’s namesake, Ralph W. Andrews, was a Cleveland County, N.C., native who worked as a publisher in New York and San Francisco. Ali Paksoy, whose mother was a lifelong friend of Andrews, serves on the scholarship selection committee. “Mr. Andrews felt a need for creating leadership opportunities in the African-American community,” explained Paksoy, a district court judge in Cleveland County, N.C. “He wanted to create this fund to benefit young, African-American males in Cleveland County who may want to stay here.” This year’s applicants were impressive, but Garvin stood out to Paksoy for several reasons. “He places a great value on

education,” he observed. “I was impressed with his grades, class rank, communication and writing skills, and his desire to succeed.” Garvin decided to attend Gardner-Webb after touring the campus. “My first impression was that GWU is a stunningly appealing college,” he reflected. “I was seriously left with zero words at how beautiful and oddly familiar the campus felt to me. I see this as an opportunity to achieve my career goals in a place not too far away from home.” At Kings Mountain High School, Garvin has been active in the art club, drama club and debate club. He is also a member of the National Honors Society, Beta Club and National Arts Honors Society. “Winning this scholarship means I’ve taken the next steps towards my career and life,” Garvin assessed. “I am very happy in seeing what my college studies will hold and what skills I will obtain and sharpen. I am thankful to everyone and everything that has gotten me this far, and I hope Gardner-Webb welcomes me as much as I welcome it.”

Should All Baby Boomers Get Tested for Hepatitis C? Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve recently read that all baby boomers should get tested for hepatitis C. Is this really necessary, and if so, what are the testing and treatment procedures? Healthy Boomer Dear Healthy, It’s true. Both the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all baby boomers – people born from 1945 through 1965 – get a hepatitis C test. The reason is because baby boomers account for 75 percent of the 3 million or so hepatitis C cases in the U.S. Those that are infected are at very high risk of eventually developing liver cancer, cirrhosis or other fatal liver diseases. Most hepatitis C infections occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, before there were tests to detect them and before the nation’s blood supply was routinely screened for the virus.

Hepatitis C is transmitted only through blood, so anyone who received either a blood transfusion or an organ transplant prior to 1992 is at increased risk too. So are health-care workers exposed to blood, and people who injected drugs through shared needles. The virus can also be spread through microscopic amounts of infected blood that could occur during sex, from sharing a razor or toothbrush, or getting a tattoo or body piercing at an unsterile shop. Most people that have hepatitis C don’t know they’re infected because there are no symptoms until their liver becomes severely damaged. It can actually take 30 years for people to show any signs of the virus, but by then, it may be too late to treat. But if it’s detected in time, new treatments are now available that can cure it. Testing and Treatment If you’re between ages 52 to 72, or fall into one of the previously listed high risk categories, you should see your primary care doctor for a basic blood test to determine whether you have

ever been infected with hepatitis C. This is a relatively inexpensive test and typically covered by health insurance under routine medical care. If the test is negative, no further tests are needed. But, if the test is positive, you’ll need another test called HCV RNA, which will show whether the virus is still active. If you test positive, you have chronic hepatitis C and will need to talk to your doctor about treatment options. If you’re infected, but have no liver damage, your doctor should monitor your liver at your annual physical. The main treatments for chronic hepatitis C today are several new FDA approved antiviral medications that have a 95 percent cure rate. Compared to older treatments, these new medications have minimal side effects. Unfortunately, all the new drugs are very expensive – a 12-week treatment course can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $90,000. Not all health insurance plans, including Medicare Part D plans, cover all

prescribed medications for hepatitis C. And due to the expensive nature of these medications, most insurance plans require that you meet several requirements in order to get coverage. If your insurance provider doesn’t cover the antiviral therapy your doctor recommends, there are ﬁnancial assistance options available. To look for help, visit HEPC.liverfoundation.org and put your cursor on “Resources” and click on “What if I need Financial Assistance to Pay for Treatment?” And for more hepatitis C information, along with a quick online quiz you can take to determine your risks, see CDC. gov/knowmorehepatitis. You can also get information over the phone by calling the national toll-free HELP-4-HEP helpline at 877-435-7443. 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.
