RELAY From 1A raise money but couldn’t camp. “We've done really well this year. In years past we have been in the $80 thousands but our economy as it is now with gas prices it’s hard to raise that much,” she said. “It’s taking all of our money just to put gas into our cars.” Kings Mountain's Relay for Life, which is usually held in April or May, came a little later in the season this year sharing the weekend spotlight with the Over the Mountain Triathlon. Whether it was the timing, the heat or the economy which kept several people at home, the powerful message of Kings Mountain striving to eradicate cancer came through as clear and as strong as ever.

BETHWARE From 1A Bethware Elementary is also the only school in Kings Mountain that has ever been in the top 10 fund-raising teams.

Fourteen cancer survivors, one a student, some teachers, grand- parents and aunts set off on the afternoon’s first lap - the Survivor's Lap. The other stu- dents, faculty and relatives lined up around the perimeter of the track to cheer them on. Every step was a giant leap towards a cure for the disease that has plagued them and continues to haunt so many others. After the survivors, the differ- ent grade levels took turns walk- ing the track, enjoying entertain- ment and snacks in the hot sun. The littlest ones in pre-school (Head Start) and Kindergarten took the track about 12:30, while the 1st and 2nd grades enjoyed some entertainment at the stage near the middle of the track and the 3rd and 4th graders had a snack. About every 30 minutes the grade levels traded off. The 3rd and 4th graders were the last to walk the path and although the sun’s heat had slowed many of them down, at least one class chanted “We are awesome” dur- ing their trek.

Every child got to make their own luminary bag in honor or in memory of a loved one. The bags, although not lit, lined the track with just as much esteem. All of the students and faculty gathered near the stage around 2:15 for the closing ceremony. They ended the ceremony with a release of 500 purple and white balloons and with a moment of silence for those who have lost their battle to cancer. Hardin, team captain for the school, was beaming with pride on Friday afternoon. “All of the schools do some- thing special for Relay, but we wanted to do something really special and everyone has worked so hard,” she said.
