Liberty Mountain: A source of community pride By Robert Inman Colonel Hambright is watching. I’ve INMAN thought about him a lot as we begin production for the fourth season of “Liberty Mountain” at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain. When the play opens June 23, I believe he’ll be there in spirit. Frederick Hambright was one of the more colorful figures engaged in the Battle of Kings Mountain in October, 1780. He was a German immigrant who spoke English with a thick European accent. But there was no more dedicated Patriot, no one who believed more in the cause of American independence. Hambright was one of the leaders of a militia band known as the “South Fork Boys,” men from Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln counties who had been involved in a number of skirmishes with British and their Loyalist allies in the months leading up to Kings Mountain, and they formed an integral part of the attacking force that went against Ferguson and his Loyalist followers on the mountain. Hambright was an older man, and thought it best to put one of his younger colleagues, Major Chronicle, in charge for the fight. The South Fork See LIBERTY, Page 4A

A native of Kings Mountain, Mr. Tate was born on August 11, 1928 and was the son of the late Brooks Roosevelt and Leola Bridges Tate. He was preceded in death by his two brothers Gene Tate and Fred Tate and by his granddaughter Allison Hardin. Mr. Tate is survived by his devoted wife of 68 years Helen Robbs Tate and his four children: daughter, Gloria Tate Hardin; son, Rev. James Tate; daughter Lynn Tate Yates and companion R.G.

He is also survived by three grandchildren: Adriane Hardin Smith (husband, Junior), Chad Yates (wife, Andrea); and Jessica Tate; four great-grandchildren, Austin and Zachary Smith; Caleb and Addie Yates; and one great-great-grandchild, Amanda Rose Smith. Oliver grew up in Kings Mountain and was a member of the Kings Mountain High School Class of 1947. He left school as a senior at age 18 and enlisted in the United States Air Force where he served with the US Training Command, first in Spokane, Washington and then for his last two years of duty in Cheyenne, Wyoming. After returning home from service, he attended textile school on the GI Bill and then went on to successfully complete a postal examination and become a US Postal worker. He worked at the Kings Mountain Post Office for 37 years before retiring, serving in his position with distinction. He served as both a city and a rural carrier over the years and made friends wherever he went. He was on a first name basis with almost all his customers and thrived on the interaction with them as he delivered their mail. Oliver was devoted to his family and considered time with them his top priority. He delighted in the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren and loved to express his pride in them to all who would listen. He loved the frequent family dinners he and Helen hosted with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all in attendance. These were joyful occasions filled with good food, laughter and love and Oliver treasured them. In addition, his greatest earthly love was the one he shared with his wife Helen. They were high school sweethearts and married when they were both just 20 years old. Early in their marriage, Helen traveled with him to Cheyenne, WY for a portion of his last USAF tour of duty and following that, they made their home in Kings Mountain where they built a life and raised their family. They truly lived a great love story filled with caring and devotion which will continue to sustain Helen as she grieves his loss. During his lifetime, church was also very important to Oliver. He was a longtime member of First Baptist Church where he loved singing in the choir and attending Sunday school and worship. Before his declining health interfered, he was active in the adult fellowship activities and he and Helen enjoyed beach trips and going out to dinner with church friends. Oliver was very outgoing and loved being with people. He was a great conversationalist,

are part of Kings Mountain’s legacy, and that support from the entire community is essential to make the production a continuing success. They believe everyone who lives here should know how Kings Mountain came to be and how intimately it’s tied to the battle that was the turning point of the Revolution. What can you do to help? First, come see the play. We’ll have 17 performances in June and July. If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to. If you have, come back because it’s evolving every year with new and exciting scenes and production techniques. It’s truly family entertainment. So bring your family and spread the word to friends and neighbors. Second, thank the Kings Mountain merchants who are supporting the play and encourage others to do so. “Liberty Mountain” has a direct impact on the city’s economy by bringing in cast and crew who live and work and spend money here, along
with hundreds of visitors from far and wide who come to performances. They get a chance to see what a special community we have, and that’s good for our future. Third, learn all you can about the Revolution and Kings Mountain’s unique part in it. Encourage our school students to study and reflect on what our ancestors did to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. You’ll find everything you need to know about the production on our excellent website: www.libertymountaindrama.com and on our Facebook page. You can order tickets online and there’s a phone number to call for special group rates. If you see a shadowy, distinguished figure lurking at the edge of the auditorium as we’re telling this gripping story, it’s probably Colonel Frederick Hambright. And he’ll be glad you’re there.
was an Exceptional Children’s Teaching Assistant who worked with 5th and 6th grades. This year she is a 5th grade teaching assistant and works with six different teachers, drives a school bus morning and afternoon and help cover Pride Academy, the behavior lab. One of the most important aspects of teaching for Hicks is the rapport she has with her students and their parents. Her classroom is their home away from home. She considers her class family and her students know that she genuinely cares for them. In her philosophy of teaching which she submitted for judging on the county level, Erica said that when her students leave her classroom she wants them to not only be ready for the next grade but also prepared for our 21st century world. She believes that great teachers are the ones who go the extra mile
and cares about more than the academic part of the student but the part of the student that makes him or her who they are. One of her students told Erica recently that “I don’t get in trouble on the bus anymore since you made me like reading.” “I can’t tell you how rewarding that is as a teacher, getting a child to like reading enough to do it on the bus,’’ said Hicks. Lawson said the favorite thing about her job is being able to build caring relationships with students and witnessing how that relationship pushes kids to be their best. “Every child, no matter where they came from, has the ability to grow emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. Often they just need someone to believe in them and, in turn, makes them believe in themselves,’’ said Lawson.
From Page 1A Boys were positioned along the northeast corner of the mountain, astride the only possible escape route for the Loyalist defenders. As the battle commenced, they came under intense fire and Major Chronicle became one of the first Patriot casualties. Hambright rallied the troops and attacked up the hill. He was shot and seriously wounded, but kept leading his men until the victory was won. Hambright’s modern-day descendants include Kings Mountain’s Patrick family, long involved in the civic life of the community. Their family business, Patrick Yarn Mills, is the lead sponsor of “Liberty Mountain,” providing essential financial support. If there’s one message the Patricks want to send to their fellow citizens, it’s that the play and the history behind it

Food not fit for fish! I believe it is a good thing, from time to time, to go to new places and see new things. A few years ago, my church sponsored a cruise called, “Salt and Light.” The idea comes By Dr. Vincent D. Hefner Pastor, First Baptist from the Scripture Church of Cherryville in Matthew 5:1314, when Jesus described His followers as “salt and light.” I believe a follower of Christ can, and should, make a positive difference anywhere, and the more believers you have in one place, the greater the chance you have to inspire someone to come to Christ. The cruise line that we have selected knows that we meet everyday for prayer, praise, and Bible application time. They provide us with a room and have it prepared for our meeting. Over the years, we have had several guests who have heard
about our Bible time and have joined us for this special meeting while we are on the high seas. For me, it is the only way to go on a cruise, to have a group of Christian people who want to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation, and to worship Him in the ship! I would encourage even the greatest of “land lovers” to give this a try and not to be worried about getting seasick, because they do make medicine for stuff like that! My doctor gives me a small patch that I wear behind my ear and it is designed to stop motion sickness. I have been on four cruises and have never gotten sick! I believe the main reason I have fought off sea sickness is because I keep my mind on the positive reasons I am on the ship, namely to represent Jesus Christ. Something else that I also look forward to is the food! If the ship never left dock, the different foods you get to try are worth the trip! You can order anything on the menu and as many times as you want! I am familiar with some of the food, while other foods are items that I cannot even pronounce. How-
ever, that has never stopped me from at least giving foods from different parts of the world a chance to tickle my taste buds. One such item that I have encountered on the menu is something called “vichyssoise,” which to us regular folks is “cold soup.” I realize that there is more than one temperature to eat something or drink something. I will drink hot tea as well as ice tea. I enjoy chocolate at room temperature, cold, and even melting hot, why should soup be any different? Well folks, it is different, and I don’t mean in a good way. It is like trying to eat something that somebody else has already tried to eat but they didn’t like it, even when it was hot. Even a fancy foreign word can’t convince me that I am taking a stab at culture and improving my culinary
Page 5A IQ by eating something that my palate is telling me to throw overboard and feed to the fishes! Some things should never be served cold! A few days ago while I was studying my Bible, I came across a passage of Scripture that brought back the idea of cold soup. In Matthew 24, Jesus was describing the events of the “last days.” Verse 12 says, “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” As I prayed about this Scripture I realized that a person does not have to participate in lawlessness to be affected by lawlessness. If the devil can get you to take your eyes off Jesus and place them on all the crazy things that are taking place in the world, your heart will grow “cold.” God never intended for your heart to be
cold to Him or to the needs and challenges of this world. The only way you can check yourself for a “cold heart” is to look into the use of your time, talents, and tithes and offerings. How much time do you give to spend with God in prayer? How do you use your talents for God’s glory and for the encouragement of others? How do you use your finances to honor God by giving back to Him what He has given to you? If you have an excuse in any of these areas for not giving your best to God, chances are you have a bad case of the “cold heart.” The only cure for the “cold heart” is to get where Jesus is and stay close to Him! Jesus will make sure your heart stays at the right temperature everyday of your life. Remember, don’t give in to sin. Think about it!

KM’s Bagwell to participate in State Games
It’s in his blood
Tanner Ross’s domain is the sports fields at Kings Mountain YMCA, formerly Deal Street Park, always a beehive for local sports and other activities.
Tanner Ross holds same job as great-grandfather Elmer When he accepted the position as Sports Director for the Kings Mountain YMCA Tanner Ross did not realize he would be doing the same job his great-grandfather Elmer Ross did for the City of Kings Mountain in the 1960s and 1970s. As the city’s Recreation Director from 19631976 Elmer Ross was a pioneer. He was one of the youngsters’ biggest fans and ushered in many new sports for them and adults as well. Tanner never knew his great-grandfather, who died several years before he was born, but he hopes to proudly carry on his legacy. When Elmer Ross took over city recreation Kings Mountain’s Deal Street Park basically had one baseball field for little league, another for pony league baseball and slow pitch softball, a swimming pool, tennis courts and a putt-putt course. Davidson Field was used for youth baseball, and adult baseball and softball. The YMCA and its gym, previously called Kings Mountain Community Center, hadn’t been built yet but Elmer organized youth and adult basketball leagues to play at the National Guard Armory. Mack Lefevers worked for him for a few years. “Elmer was a father figure to me,” he said. “Recreation Director was one of the many hats he wore. He managed with wisdom and kindness. I never saw him lose his temper.” Jim Jolly recalled Elmer going the extra mile for area youngsters. “I can still see in my mind Elmer Ross showing up to the Armory to open the gym on Saturday mornings for basketball,” he said. “I rode my bike from Manor Road to the Armory and always got there 15 to 30 minutes before Elmer – not that he wasn’t on time. And he was right there at noon to close up the place. “The gym was open for age groups pretty much 10-17, so there was the opportunity to play with older players so you could get better. Or you could just dribble on the concrete floor and shoot at baskets on the full court end to end, or baskets on either
side of the court. I went every week on Saturday and stayed until Elmer said it was time to go home.” Tanner Ross worked part-time at the YMCA, and full time for a period of time before taking a job in Charlotte. When Y director Kevin Osborne called him recently to ask if he would be interested in the Sports Director’s position, he felt like it was something he needed to consider. “We talked,” he said, “and basically to sum it up I felt like I could help the community grow by being active with the youth and adults in a Christian environment that supports sportsmanship and gives them a great environment to grow, not just in athletics but as people.” Just like in Elmer’s time, Tanner said the programs could not be successful without volunteers who are good role models for the kids. “Most of the people I work with are volunteers,” he said. “All of the coaches and many other people volunteer their time.” The number of fields for sports now numbers five baseball fields, the potential for seven soccer fields and the gym for basketball and other activities. Davidson Park is now one huge field that is divided into spaces for different age groups. “I feel like I was always meant to be down here,” said Tanner. “You might call me a site monitor at night. I try to get involved with watching the kids play and talking to the fans and parents. I go from field to field.” Recreation is practically a year-round, every day activity in the city, Ross noted. “We do not schedule for holidays,” he said, “but we’re busy about all the time. In June we will be starting adult soccer and summer sports through July and August. Baseball is going on now and soon will be playing all-stars. “Around Christmas we start a winter basketball and volleyball league that will run into next year.” Other sports such as flag football for youth and adults, pickle ball, etc., are popular. In contrast to the early years, when baseball basically was about six teams,
Kings Mountain High junior pitcher Daniel Bagwell has been selected to play in the 31st annual Powerade State Games June 14-18 in Greensboro. Games will be played at Grimsley High School and War Memorial Stadium. Bagwell will be on a team representing Region 6 of North Carolina. Bagwell was the relief ace of the Kings Mountain High staff this spring. He compiled a 1-1 record and was 5-for-5 in saves opportunities. He worked 23 innings and struck out 38 batters. He is currently playing for the Kings Mountain American Legion team. Each year 32 high school coaches hold tryouts in their regions. State Games coaches rotate up until they are the head coach and new coaches are added to every team each year. The tournament format is an eight-team underclass-
DANIEL BAGWELL men (2018, 2019 and 2020 graduates) tournament with scout workouts for each team. The Region is determined by the county where the athlete attends school. All participants must try out. State Games coaches evaluate and score each individual player during tryouts. Notes and scores are submitted to the State Games office to ensure fairness in selections.
Lloyd, Calhoun state statistical leaders in 3A
Elmer Ross, City Recreation Director from 1963-1976.
Two Kings Mountain High soccer players led the state in statistical categories during the spring season. Freshman Maggie Lloyd led the 3A division in goals with 49 and points with 118. Cassidy Calhoun led the 3A division in assists with 27. The Lady Mountaineers compiled a 16-0 South Mountain Athletic Conference record and 23-3 overall mark. They advanced three rounds in the state 3A tournament before falling to Cox Mill. Cox Mill was later eliminated in the Western Regional championship by Weddington 2-0, which went on to win the state championship 1-0 over Eastern champion Corinth Holders. Kings Mountain will return all of its players next season. Virginia Dellinger, who missed her senior season with an injury, will be moving on to Belmont Abbey College.

Tanner Ross, new YMCA Sports Director. now there are 16 to 18. “In the summer baseball is based more on competition,” Ross noted. “In the fall it is more developmental. There won’t be as many teams in the fall, so instead of local teams playing each other all the time we try to schedule games with Tryon, Chapel Grove and others.” Ross feels like he is in the job he was always meant to be in. “My original plan was to be a P.E. teacher,” he noted. “I let one person talk me out of it and I regretted it for a while. But now I’m in the shoes I’m supposed to be in because of it. “I have always enjoyed being around kids and I’ve always loved sports (he was the starting center on Kings Mountain High’s
2010 football team and threw the shot and discus for three years for the Mountaineers). This job allows me to give back to the kids. I’ve loved this job since day one. “I would love to see all of them grow more,” he said. “This community is big around sports. We might not have won a state championship, but you go to a football game at Kings Mountain High School and the crowd is so huge it would make people think we’re the state champions.” Under the supervision of his great-grandfather and others, Kings Mountain hosted numerous state tournaments in the past.

Help stop the spread of hepatitis RALEIGH — State health officials are encouraging North Carolinians to help stop the spread of hepatitis B and hepatitis C by getting tested and observing safe injection practices. Preliminary data shows that between 2014 and 2016, new cases of hepatitis B increased by 56 percent and new cases of hepatitis C increased by 69 percent. Hepatitis, an inflamma-
tion of the liver, includes viral hepatitis types A, B and C. New, or acute, cases of types B and C can develop into chronic infections, and long-term chronic infections may lead to health problems including liver failure and liver cancer. “We encourage North Carolinians to learn more about hepatitis B and C and talk to their physician or local
health department about getting tested,” said State Communicable Disease Director Evelyn Foust. Hepatitis B and C can spread when blood from an infected person enters the body of someone who is not infected, frequently through the sharing of needles or other injection equipment. Hepatitis B, and less often hepatitis C, can also be spread through
sex with an infected partner. To protect against viral hepatitis, the Division of Public Health recommends that people avoid sharing needles or other injection equipment and get vaccinated for hepatitis A and B. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Those diagnosed with viral hepatitis should speak to their physician about treatment options.
Every parent wants their teen to arrive home safely following prom and graduation parties. Parents continue to play an important role as teens take on the responsibilities of driving to these events. According to a recent AAA study, eighty-seven percent of parents with a teen between the ages of 15 and 18 said they would be less angry if their teen called them for a ride home, instead of getting behind the wheel if they are intoxicated. “Discuss the importance of driving safely with your teen before these events,” said AAA Carolinas President and CEO Dave Parsons. “Talking openly to your teen about the dangers of drunk driving, distracted driving and other driving risks greatly increases their chance of getting home safely.” Teen Driving Safety Tips: Distracted driving - Many teens admit to cell phone use and texting while behind the wheel despite being aware of he dangers. Make a family rule covering these and other distractions that everyone abides by. Alcohol and drug use Eight young people die every day in the U.S. in alcohol-related crashes. Talk with your teen about the dangers of driving drunk or riding with someone who has used alcohol or drugs and enforce strict zero tolerance rules with your teen. Seat belt use - Seat belt use is the most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries in a crash. Require everyone to buckle up. Driving with passengers - Teen drivers’ crash risks multiply when there are teen passengers. Set limits and enforce them.
Peer pressure - Talk with your teen about the importance of resisting peer pressure and offer advice on how to handle hypothetical driving situations. This is also important if your teen is going to be a passenger in a car driven by a teen. Encourage teen passengers to speak up if they feel they are in danger. Speeding - speed is a leading fact in crashes for teens and adults. Set a good example and set strong rules. Driving conditions - Spring time rain, darkness, heavy traffic and other realities of driving pose challenges for teen drivers. Make sure your teen has practice driving under each of these conditions. Tips for Parents: Don’t assume all parents share your values - Exchange phone numbers and talk with other parents and your teen’s friends to ensure ample communication. Take inventory of alcohol and prescription drugs - If you are hosting a prom party, make sure you secure your alcohol and prescription drugs to ensure teens do not get their hands on them. Check limo policies - If renting a limo, check their policy on allowing alcohol in the vehicle and talk with the limo driver about your expectations for the evening. Set a reasonable curfew Let your teen know you will wait up for them to return home. To learn more about preparing your teen to be a safe driver, visit www.teendriving.aaa.com. Involved in teen driver safety for over 75 years, AAA has a full range of tools to help parents and teens throughout the whole learning to drive process.

Health Coverage Options for Pre-Medicare-Age Spouses Dear Savvy Senior, My wife, who is 62, is on my health insurance plan through my employer. When I retire in a few months at 65, and go on Medicare, what are my wife’s options? Is there some kind of Medicare coverage for dependent spouses, or do we have to purchase Obamacare? Approaching Retirement
der their plan. Or, if your wife works, see if she can she switch to health insurance provided by her own employer.
comprehensive health coverage and they can’t deny her coverage or charge extra for preexisting health conditions.
COBRA: If you work for a company that has 20 or more employees, once you make the switch to Medicare, your wife could stay with your company insurance plan for at least 18 months (but could last up to 36 months) under a federal law called COBRA. You’ll need to sign her up within 60 days after her last day of coverage. But be aware that COBRA isn’t cheap. You’ll pay the full monthly premium yourself, plus a 2 percent administrative fee. To learn more, see DOL.gov/ ebsa/publications/cobraemployee.html or call 866-444-3272.
And, if your income falls below the 400 percent poverty level – anything below $47,520 for an individual or $64,080 for a couple in 2017 – you may be eligible for a tax credit that will reduce the amount you’ll have to pay for a policy. To see how much you can save, see the subsidy calculator on the Kaiser Family Foundation website at KFF.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator.
Keep working: If possible, consider working past age 65. This would allow your wife to continue coverage under your employer health insurance until she becomes eligible for Medicare.
If, however, the company you work for has fewer than 20 employees, you may still be able to get continued coverage through your company if your state has “mini-COBRA.” Contact your state insurance department to see if this is available where you live.
Employer options: If your employer provides retiree health benefits, check with your benefits administrator to find out if they offer any options that would allow your wife to continue coverage un-
Individual insurance: Buy your wife an individual health insurance policy through the Health Insurance Marketplace (aka Obamacare) until she turns 65. The Marketplace, as it stands now, offers
If, however, your wife isn’t eligible for the government subsidy, or you want additional policy options to what the Marketplace offers, you can also buy health coverage outside the government marketplaces directly through a private insurance company, an online insurance seller, or an agent or broker. This option is not available if you live in Washington D.C. or Vermont.
Dear Approaching, Medicare, unfortunately, does not offer family coverage to younger spouses or dependent children when you qualify for Medicare. Nobody can obtain Medicare benefits before age 65, unless eligible at a younger age because of disability. With that said, here are some coverage options, including Obamacare, to consider for your wife.
To shop for marketplace plans in your state, visit Healthcare.gov or call their toll-free helpline at 800-318-2596.
These policies do not offer the federal tax credits, but they are required to offer the
same menu of essential benefits as Marketplace policies do, and they can’t deny coverage or charge extra for preexisting health conditions. You might even find slightly lower premiums on outside policies, assuming that you don’t qualify for the tax credits. To find a local broker or agent that sells insurance plans, check the National Association of Health Underwriters website (NAHU.org) which has an online directory. But keep in mind that agents won’t necessarily show you all available policies, just the ones from insurers they work with. You can also look for these plans at insurance shopping sites like eHealthInsurance.com or GoHealth.com, which lists plans and providers that may not be listed on Healthcare.gov. 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.
