the Spirit of the Battlefield By Robert Inman One of the most exciting times in the production of any stage play is the day the cast and crew gather for the first time. It begins the journey toward molding a collection of talented individuals into a theatre INMAN family who work together to bring a unique and rewarding performance to the audience. That’s always been the case with “Liberty Mountain” as we begin our fourth season at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain. Opening night is Friday, June 23, so there’s an enormous amount of work to be done in a short time, and it takes every person in the cast and crew bringing intensity and commitment to the production. It’s a tradition with “Liberty Mountain” that we always take part

of that first day’s gathering to go to the source of our story – the Kings Mountain National Military Park -- where the battle took place in October, 1780 that turned the tide of the American Revolution. Together, we walk the trail that leads around the base of the mountain, ending on top at the impressive monument that pays tribute to the Patriot frontiersmen who fought here. It bears the names of 28 of their number who lost their lives in the savage, one-hour fight. If you haven’t visited the Kings Mountain battlefield, you should. The National Park Service does a wonderful job of preserving that sacred ground and telling the story of the battle and its significance. There’s a superb visitors center that includes a stirring movie produced by the History Channel and a museum with interactive exhibits that depict the life of the Carolina frontier country and graphically illustrate See LIBERTY MTN.

Monday at 5:30 Citizens can have their say on the proposed $42.5M city budget at a hearing Monday night at 5:30 p.m. at Kings Mountain City Hall. Mayor Scott Neisler says he doesn’t expect to see a large crowd because the budget projections include no increases in any city service nor any increase in the ad valorem property tax rate of 43 cents per $100 valuation. The 2016-17 adopted budget was $45,566,186. The proposed budget for 2017-18 shows a decrease of $3,025,255. A copy of the budget is available at Mauney Memorial Library and city offices. During her presentation of the proposed budget at a recent workshop, City Manager Marilyn Sellers said, “I hope that you all are as excited about this budget as I am. It’s the beginning of a new day.” She added, “I’m beginning to see the’ light at the end of the tunnel’ thanks to a proactive staff, department heads, the mayor and city council. You made some hard decisions to get us where we are today.” Sellers said the city is in good financial position and $100,000 is budgeted for the
second year for a pay study to bring employee pay up to market standards via a “step” program. Outside professional agencies have assisted in the process and all city employees have been identified where they place in the market and about 70 percent have been addressed in the current budget. Sellers said that revenue was not impacted by the mild winter thanks to the additional electric load that NTE is utilizing during their construction period of the power plant, increased electric load by STI and new customer Plastic Products. Customer meter count saw a five percent increase as the growth continues in the city’s residential customer base. Due to higher than expected claims, the city was faced with a substantial rate increase but not to employees as their insurance benefits remain from the city with no changes. Capital outlay for 201718 is proposed at $1.12 M which includes 24 items to be purchased without financing. Only five are to be budgeted with lease payments See HEARING, Page 7A

He was a veteran of World War II and Korea, and served 28 years as a well-respected Quartermaster officer. During his career he was awarded two Legions of Merit and a Bronze Star Medal. After he retired from the Army, he worked as a civilian Logistics Manager at the Army Materiel Command Headquarters for 20 years. Jim was devout, patriotic, and a devoted husband and father. He was friendly, and gifted at telling stories in memorable detail. When younger, he enjoyed golf, music, dancing and photography. He continued his appreciation of Big Band and Country music, and became an avid armchair basketball, football, and baseball fan. He had a remarkable memory for facts about the Redskins, Nationals and Atlantic Coast Conference teams, and rarely missed an opportunity to brag about his special University of North Carolina Tar Heels. The son of John Riley and Texas Edenfield Mercer, Jim was born on November 8, 1921 in Metter, Georgia. He graduated from Mount Zion Institute in South Carolina, where he was a star basketball player and caddied at local golf tournaments. He later majored in Military Science at the University of Maryland. Jim moved to Kings Mountain, North Carolina in 1939, where he met Lib, his beloved wife of 68 years. They were married on August 4, 1943, before Jim entered Officer Candidate School, and before his tour in the European Theater. They lived in sunny Carmel, California on their first assignment, then moved to a gold rush cabin in Fairbanks, Alaska while Jim participated in Task Force Frigid. Both loved Army life and made many lasting friendships during their assignments in the United States and two tours in Germany. They decided to make Alexandria their home in 1969, while Jim was at his last assignment at the Pentagon. They also loved spending time with family and friends at their second home at Lake Montonia in Kings Mountain. After Lib passed away in 2012, Jim moved to The Fairfax Retirement Community at Fort Belvoir, where he enjoyed the company of his new military family and a caring staff. As an active member

how the battle was fought and won. Park rangers are experts in the history of the era and the lives of the people who lived it. They give frequent demonstrations of the weapons used in the battle and conduct tours of the battleground. They are also great friends of “Liberty Mountain.” We recommend a trip to see the play, combined with a visit to the Military Park. It’s located just south of the North/South Carolina line, a 15-minute drive from downtown Kings Mountain. So a family can spend part of a day at the historical site, then take in a matinee or evening performance of “Liberty Mountain.” It makes for a total experience – the spirit of the battlefield you can’t help but feel when you walk the ground, and then the telling of the story of how it all happened with our play.
Our director Caleb Sigmon has gathered a terrific cast and crew for this year’s production. Some of our actors and support crew have been with us since the premier in 2014. Others are new to the production. They are in the midst of an intense two weeks of rehearsals, while Caleb also incorporates some exciting new elements of set, lighting, video and sound that will make this year’s production the best ever. For information on the play, online ticket ordering, and special group ticket rates, visit our website: www.libertymountaindrama.com and our Facebook page. We have 17 performances this year – Friday evening, Saturday matinee and evening, and Sunday matinee running for four weekends in June and July, with a special afternoon performance on July 4th.

■ MEDITATION
Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18 I want to give you a heads up that Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 18, 2017. As I prepare myself Rev. Jill Rhinehart to spend Central United time with Methodist Church my father this week I began to think of how significant my father’s involvement in my life has been. I am grateful that my Dad has always taken a very active role in my life. We do not always agree on everything but we have always been very close. I am also extremely grateful that my husband, prior to pass-
ing away, was a very involved father with our children. He spent many hours with them playing, taking care of them, and providing for them monetarily as well as through instruction, guidance, and giving them a whole lot of love. I know for my children, Father’s Day is a day to remember their dad and be thankful for all the time they had with him before he passed away in February 2015. I can’t avoid lifting up my children’s grandfathers as well in acknowledging their positive and constant involvement in helping to raise them. My children have been so blessed to have two awesome grandfathers that have spent copious amounts of quality and quantitative time with them. I believe it is the in-
volvement of all of these men in their lives that helped my children to become the wonderful adults they are today. This made me think of what is the impact that involved fathers have on their children. The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (https://www.fatherhood.gov/ content/dad-stats) provide these results from several sources. NRFC states: • “The presence of a responsible father promotes improves academic performance and reduces disciplinary problems among children. Preschoolers with actively involved fathers have stronger verbal skills.” • “Girls with strong relationships with their fathers do better in mathematics.” • “Boys with actively in-
volved fathers tend to get better grades and perform better on achievement tests.” • “Research shows that even very young children who have experienced high father involvement show an increase in curiosity and in problem solving capacity. Fathers’ involvement seems to encourage children’s exploration of the world around them and confidence in their ability to solve problems.” • “Highly involved fathers also contribute to increased mental dexterity in children, increased empathy, less stereotyped sex role beliefs and greater self-control.” There are several children that do not have the opportunity for male involvement in their lives and many women who are raising single children
without an involved male, not by choice but by circumstance. I am one of those women now due to the death of my husband. These women need to be acknowledged for their dedication and love for their children. Single mothers and single fathers have had to take on the role of mother and father to their children. They are both to be commended. The Bible guides us on how to live our lives as individuals and parents. As instructions to the Israelites God tells them in Deuteronomy 6:5-7 NRSV “5You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. 7Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when
you rise. “ As people of God we are all parents to all children. If we live a life that displays our love for God our words and our actions set an example for all children. When we are involved in a positive way in the lives of children, whether they are our own or in our communities, we can write on the hearts of those children the power of God’s love for everyone. We live a life of positive example. Although I had an involved father in my life and my children did as well, I think of all the other men in their lives that left a positive influence on them as well. We are called to be the example for all of creation. We are created in the image of God. To love God is to also love others and to be that positive influence on as many lives as possible.

KM Museum to host ‘Great Gatsby’ exhibit Do you know much about the history of Cleveland County? A new exhibit coming to the Kings Mountain Historical Museum will allow visitors to learn about the dramatic social, economic and political changes that occurred in our county during the 1920s. Titled “Great Gatsby: Cleveland County in the Roaring Twenties,” the exhibit will be on display June 17 – October 14, 2017, at the museum, located at 100 E. Mountain St., Kings Mountain. “In the 1920s, Cleveland County experienced an economic boom and bust, the heyday of the textile mills and the birth of the political engine known as the Shelby Dynasty,” says Adria Focht, museum director and curator. “Improved education, healthcare, technology and transportation systems also came during this decade.” But some of these positive changes created unrest, as the county struggled to adjust to all of the rapid changes. “There were violent disputes over labor rights, and the county also experienced the racial inequity of the Jim Crow system during the 1920s,” says Focht. “Visitors to the exhibit will be able to see how all of these changes were reflected in the clothing, the music, the dances, the slang and the products of the era.” Children and families interested in learning more about how the “roaring twenties” fit into American history will want to mark the exhibit’s opening Saturday, June 17, on their calendar. On this day, the museum will host “Roaring Twenties Program for Children & Families” at 2 p.m. During the program, Gaston County Museum staff members Kelly Mason and Regan Brooks will teach participants different dances from the 1800s to today and will discuss how fashion, music, dancing and even social interaction have changed over time. “The program will last for about one hour, and it will involve...surprises,” says Focht. There will also be a make-and-take flapper headband craft for the kids. All ages are welcome, and admission is free. For more information about the Roaring Twenties Program or about the Great Gatsby exhibit, visit the museum’s website at www.kingsmountainmuseum.org, or find them on Facebook by searching for “Kings Mountain Historical Museum.”

Richard Anderson Jr., his wife, and children show off the Quilt of Valor awarded to Anderson Saturday.
Harvey Mayfield, a USAF veteran (1961-65) from Rock Hill, SC, brought the Quilts of Valor to Kings Mountain Saturday night and awarded the red, white and blue quilts to Richard Anderson, Jr., US Army, and US Army retired Lt. Col. Mary Lou (Mrs. Jim) Ware. Both veterans were surprised when Mayfield, assisted by his wife, wrapped the beautiful quilts around each of them. Sixty people were present for the patriotic program sponsored by Betsy and Dan Kukulka which included special presentations by Mayfield on “why we place our right hand over our heart” and why there are 13 folds to the American flag, 21-gun salute, changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, DC and recognition of veterans present, including World War II veteran Dr. George Plonk. Mayfield recognized the five branches of the military and listed a sixth: the spouses of those who served in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam in the United States Navy, United States Marine Corp, United States Air Force, and United States Coast Guard. ‘I like helping people,’’ said Mayfield, who has traveled all over the country on his specially-built and equipped motorcycle, who enjoys meeting other veterans and who always gives a big “welcome home” to Vietnam veterans. He told the story of how one veteran was contemplating suicide. ‘He was shot up pretty bad in Vietnam and came home to people calling him a baby killer and
then nightmares followed. A total stranger wrapped him in a quilt of valor and he did not kill himself. That award, the highest that a civilian can give to a veteran, turned his life around.” Mayfield travels with the Quilt of Valor Foundation “to give back and pay back the military and for those who didn’t come home.” The Quilts of Valor Foundation was founded in the sewing room of Catherine Roberts in 200. The group to date has given 87,000 quilts to members of the US Armed Forces who have been wounded or are in combat. Roberts, who originally started the Foundation in recognition of her son Nathaniel’s year- long deployment to Iraq, wanted to connect those who piece the tops with long arm quilters and to coordinate distribution of the finished quilts. Today Quilts of Valor are passed down through military hospitals, staff members, military chaplains, and others. Entire service units returning from combat may be presented with Quilts of Valor and they are also given to veterans whose service was decades ago in World I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Quilts of Valor also has chapters in the United Kingdom and Canada. “What can you do?” Mayfield assembled the crowd at dinner at Gentle Moon Café.

Salvation Army a year-round ministry Cassie Herndon Tarpley Special to The Kings Mountain Herald
SHELBY – With the celebration of National Salvation Army Week in his rear-view mirror, Sgt. Les Ashby is looking ahead, but not as far as some might think. “We’re not just bell ringers at Christmastime,” said Ashby, corps administrator for The Salvation Army in Shelby. Holiday bell-ringing was one topic for celebration at a recent appreciation dinner, with top awards for Rutherford County going to the Junior Beta Club of Forrest Hunt Elementary School and volunteer Ainsley Lederfind. In Cleveland County, top ringers were Shelby Rotary Club and Bob Mori. These winners and many other individuals and groups stepped up to “do something” in the spirit of church founder William Booth, said guest speaker Major Terry Israel, community relations and development department secretary from Atlanta Territorial Headquarters. “Booth’s mission and mantra was to ‘do something,’” he said. “We’re saying do something in tangible ways that expresses our faith.” Serving Cleveland and Rutherford counties, the local Army office helps people with the tangible emergencies of life – preventing eviction, utility cutoffs, empty pantries and bare closets – every day of the year. “It is extremely important,” Ashby said, “that our community understands two things – that we are here to
serve 365 days a year and that we need their help to be as effective as possible.” Shelby Rotary’s Back Pack program is one example, he said. Each week during the school year, volunteers from the club come to the Army office to assemble bags filled with snacks, fruits and other easy-forkids foods, and donate them through school social workers for children to take home each weekend. Sgt. Ashby said as the year progresses, he’s “looking ahead with hope, realizing that need has no season.” You can help. Call office at 704-482-0375. Mail checks to PO Box 1764, Shelby, NC 28151.

Cleveland County Commissioner Jason Falls presented Sgts. Les and Mary Ashby with an official proclamation for National Salvation Army Week at the recent appreciation dinner held at Aldersgate United Methodist Church Epworth Building.

Best Bicycles for Aging Baby Boomers Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are interested in getting a couple of bicycles for leisurely exercise and fun, and would like to get your recommendation. We’re both approaching 60 and are a little overweight, and it’s been a while since we rode. Easy Riders Dear Easy, If you’re interested in leisurely, recreational riding for fitness and fun, a great option is a “comfort bike,” which is very popular among baby boomers. Here’s what you should know about this option, along with some tips to help you shop and choose. Comfort Bikes A comfort bike is a style of bicycle that’s easy on an aging body because it lets you ride in a more comfortable upright position. These bikes have high handlebars so you don’t have to hunch over, which eases lower-back strain and reduces pressure on the wrists and hands. They also come
with wide tires for a smooth ride, offer fewer gears, and have soft, wide seats to eliminate saddle soreness. Most comfort bikes also come with shock-absorbing forks and seat posts for additional comfort. And some offer unique design features like an ultra low step-over bar that makes getting on and off easy for people with limited flexibility (like the Biria Easy Boarding at Biria.com), or the “flat-foot” design offered by many manufacturers where the pedals are moved forward, away from the seat. This allows you to get a full-leg extension when you pedal, but keeps the seat in a lower position so when you’re stopped, you can put your feet down flat on the ground while seated, which is a great safety feature for older riders. Most major manufacturers including Electra, Sun, Raleigh, GT, Giant, and Trek all make a line of comfort bikes that costs between $300 and $800 or more depending on its features.
Shopping Tips To find a quality comfort bike, your best option is to find a good bike shop in your area. Bikes from big box stores, like Walmart and Target, are mass-market bikes that may be less expensive, but the quality isn’t as good and they’re typically seven to eight pounds heaver. They also come in only one size, so you’re not likely to get a great fit.
front of you.
Before you buy any bike, be sure you take it for a test ride first to ensure that the seat and fit of the bike is comfortable, the brakes and shifters are easy to use, the gears can go low enough for climbing hills, and the frame and suspension adequately smooth the bumps.
If you worry about falling or want more stability when you ride consider a three-wheel recumbent trike. See SunSeeker.bike and TerraTrike. com for a nice variety, but be aware that recumbent bikes are more expensive, typically ranging between $1,000 and $2,500.
Recumbent Bikes If the comfort bikes don’t meet your needs, another popular style among older riders is a recumbent bike. These are the low-to-the-ground, stretched-out frame bikes with LaZ-Boy style seats that allow you to recline with your legs positioned in
Recumbent bikes are very comfy, easy on the back, arms and shoulders, and aerodynamic which make them ideal for long rides. The disadvantages, because they are lowto-the-ground, they can be harder to balance and maneuver, and are more difficult for other vehicles to see.

USDA Farm Service Agency County Committee Nomination Period Begins June 15 The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced today that the nomination period for local Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees begins on Wednesday, June 15, 2017. “County committees allow farmers and ranchers to make important decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally to best serve their needs,� said Acting FSA Administrator Chris Beyerhelm. “We strongly encourage all eligible producers to visit their local FSA office today to find out how to get involved in their county’s election. There’s an increasing need for representation from underserved producers, which includes beginning, women and other minority farmers and ranchers.� County committees are made up of farmers and ranchers elected by other producers in their communities to guide the delivery of farm programs at the local level. Committee members play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA. Committees consist of three to 11 members and meet once a month or as needed to make important decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide there are over 7,700 farmer and ranchers
serving on FSA county committees. Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others. Organizations, including those representing beginning, women and minority producers, may also nominate candidates to better serve their communities. To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in an agency administered program, and reside in the local administrative area where the election is being held. After the nomination period, candidates will encourage the eligible producers in their local administrative area to vote. FSA will mail election ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 6, 2017. Ballots will be due back to the local county office either via mail or in person by Dec. 4, 2017. Newly-elected committee members and alternates will take office on Jan. 1, 2018. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign an FSA-669A nomination form. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at www.fsa.usda.gov/ elections. All nomination forms for the 2017 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1, 2017. Locate your local office at https://offices.usda.gov and visit to get more information.

Steam turbine generator newest equipment at NTE By MARK HUGHES Special to The Herald
An 18-axial transporter carrying a 650,000-pound steam turbine generator crept up Dixon School Road Monday morning, June 12. The generator was enroute from a railroad siding south of Grover to the NTE Energy plant located near the Dixon School Road/I-85 Interchange. Edwards Hauling and Rigging of Shelbyville, Kentucky, used a gantry crane to load the Toshiba steam turbine generator on a self-propelled transporter manufactured by Goldhofer
in Germany. The transporter has 18 axials with 8 wheels each for a total of 144 wheels. A 550 horsepower Mercedes diesel engine turns a DC electric generator. DC series motors turn the drive wheels of the transporter. The DC series motors provide the high torque needed to start the transporter moving. The turbine and transporter weighed 703,502 pounds. Maximum speed of the loaded transporter is four miles per hour. Friday the 104 feet long, 18 feet wide transporter blocked traffic on Dixon School Road for over an hour while mechanics replaced a broken alternator belt on
