Belmont native earns Military Excellence Award at Recruit Training Command

by Alan Nunn, Recruit Training Command Public Affairs Seaman Recruit William Thomas, a 2017 Highland School of Technology in Gastonia, North Carolina, graduate and Belmont, North Carolina native, graduated as top Sailor from Recruit Training Command, Division 944, earning the Military Excellence Award on August 31.

Thomas, 19, said winning the MEA gave him the confidence to set higher expectations for himself.

“Winning the award means that I didn’t waste my time here and that I pushed myself to limits I didn’t know existed,” Thomas said. “It also allows me to reflect upon how much I’ve grown throughout my time here; from a nervous 19-year-old college student who could barely fold a t-shirt, into a well-rounded, confident Sailor.”

The Navy Club of the United States Military Excellence Award is the top award presented to the No. 1 recruit of their graduating training group. The MEA is awarded to the Seaman Recruit William Thomas recruit that best exemplifies the qualities of enthusiasm, devotion to duty, military bearing and teamwork. The award placed him at the pinnacle of today’s newest Sailors; he was awarded a flag letter of commendation for his achievements.

Thomas was a four-year varsity soccer player in high school and prior to joining the Navy, he attended the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, in pursuit of a degree in sports medicine. Thomas said he joined the Navy to serve his country and defend those close to him.

“I want to protect the freedoms of the next generation and to ensure my friends and family can live in peace and without worry,” Thomas said Thomas credited his Recruit Division Commanders, Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Chris See THOMAS page 4

Rick Clark's classic bike shop is a blast from the past

by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Marlon Brando had one, Steve McQueen had one, and Rick Clark has a shop full of them.

What's the commodity?

Vintage British motorcycles.

When you enter Clark's

Sandy Run Classic Cycles on U.S. 74 near Shelby, the first impression is of going back in time to a British motorcycle dealership from the late 1960s or early 1970s.

Row after row of Triumph, BSA, and Norton motorcycles stand in gleaming array.

The heady aroma of oil and rubber fills your nostrils.

Vintage motorcycle posters festoon the walls. Helmets and other riding accessories fill the shelves. There's even a bright red English phone booth in one corner.

OPINION Do or die dieting

Well, a couple of months ago I went on a diet.

For most of my days I have been rather slim. Until the past couple of years when a combination of rampant eating, swilling craft wobblepops, sitting around, and generally being gluttonous had raised my blood sugar to astronomic levels. As a reward, I now have to prick my finger twice a day and stick a little strip in a machine with a blood drop on it and see what numbers pop up and take a pill twice a day and worst of all, exercise. Well, I'm supposed to anyway.

I hate exercise. It all goes back to my high school days in gym class when a pal of mine nicknamed Spider Monkey and I Alan Hodge had to run laps and do push ups for mis- Banner-News Editor behaving. He and I both swore we would never exercise again if we could help it. I wonder what ever became of good ol’ Spider Monkey.

Back to the diet. On workdays I had gotten into the lunchtime habit of grabbing a hamburger or some fried chicken or french fries and rushing back to my desk and after eating it followed up with chocolate candy. Boy oh boy nothing beats good old chocolate candy unless it’s more chocolate candy.

However, my blood sugar was creeping up slowly but surely and my waistline inches were adding up as well to the point I resembled Porky Pig. In short, I was heading for health disaster.

My lunch these days is a dab of tuna fish and a few cheese crackers and some unsweet tea. I swear I have eaten so much tuna fish that I feel, well, fishy. Dessert consists of about 10 M&Ms. My doctor told me when I started the diet to get used to being hungry.

He was right.

When you are dieting you suddenly become aware of food ads.

There on the TV screen or in magazines are wonderful, succulent, starchy, sugary dishes none of which you can have. Sharon buys these ladies’ magazines from the grocery store that have headlines shouting “Eat all you want and lose weight!” “Boston crème pie can cure what ails you!”, “Feel ten years younger by eating fudge!” etc.

Every headline has an exclamation mark to drive home the point. But the point is a lie.

Eating out while dieting is another challenge. Too much stuff on the menus except lettuce is either on a bun or fried and don’t forget the plates dripping with french fries and the dessert brownies covered in hot fudge.

I used to mock and scoff at people who had to diet. Not any more. They have my sympathy. Now I know what it’s like to float on a raft made of cake in a sea of melted chocolate and not be able to eat a bit of it. We are a band of brothers and sisters dieters and I. Waist band that is.

Speaking of waist band, since the diet began I have lost about eight pounds and have to tighten my belt to the very last notch and it's nice to see where the belt buckle used to dig into the leather as it strained to contain my gut and where it is now about two inches on the lean side of things. I even had to move the top button over a couple of inches to the good on some shorts.

Dieting can be depressing and hard but the alternative is no fun either. The reward is like a pot at the end of the rainbow, but instead of being filled with gold it’s filled with choc...i mean it’s filled with good health, a slimmer me, and a longer life. I hope.

TODAY’S QUOTE: The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.

I was MacGyver during Hurricane Florence

Remember the TV show MacGyver?

He could make an atomic bomb with a paper clip. In preparation for Hurricane Florence, I became him. I was concerned that the power would go out at the Charlotte Rescue Mission (CRM). Since we couldn’t get a generator, I was prepared to connect an auto battery to an inverter.

It converts 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC. Then I could run lights, pumps, etc. I had two batteries in my trunk. I think I was a little disappointed we didn’t lose power.

Let me tell you my Hurricane Florence Tony Marciano story. It began when the county asked CRM to serve as an overflow shelter for The Salvation Army as well as the Men’s Shelter of Charlotte. We were also asked if we would take intact couples or families. Otherwise, they would be split between those two agencies. We agreed to all this.

On Friday, we opened our doors to our community guests. That first night we brought them to the chapel which we converted into an emergency shelter dorm. A few years before, a friend of CRM asked us if we wanted 4-inch foam mats. We agreed in the event a hurricane ever came through our area. Friday night, our guests slept on those mats.

I think the stress of not doing emergency disaster work in over 30 years got to me. My leadership team is reading the book, “The Emotionally Healthy Leader.” The chapter we are reading had a lot in it. I decided to break it down into three sections and told them that in a text. It said, “I’m breaking down Emotionally Healthy” (that’s all that showed on their phone). They thought I was losing it.

Another incident involved a text my wife sent me. It said, “I lost the TV.” I interpreted that to say the cable service went out. Trying to be the hero, I called the cable company and explained we did not have cable service. They assured me there was no problem but would reboot my connection. When I called my wife to tell her how her wonderful husband had resolved the dilemma, she said it’s not that the cable service went out; it’s that our son-in-law took over the TV. I took off my mask and cape and decide I was not a superhero.

On Saturday, we received a shipment of cots and put the mats on top of the cots. I asked one of our guests how it felt. One man said, “It feels really good.” I told them we were the only emergency disaster shelter with a pillow top on their cot. Everyone smiled.

We had great chats with people. Staff and volunteers engaged in conversation with our community guests. Some agreed to be enrolled in our long term residential recovery programs. As the hurricane was leaving our area, it was my prayer that it would take with it the horrific past our guests had endured in their life.

Perhaps my biggest “take away” is the transformation in our guests between Friday and Saturday. I watched them arrive nervous, not knowing what to expect. As the weekend progressed, they changed from being “guests” to becoming family. That trust gave us the chance to introduce them to the life changing work of the Charlotte Rescue Mission.

I know those days disrupted normal Rescue Mission operations.

No one complained. I watched Mission clients and staff step up to the plate. Not only did they open our facility to our most fragile neighbors, they opened their hearts. We went from being strangers to becoming a community.

Kavanaugh - Decision Time - Emotional Nightmare The time has come for a decision to be made about Brett Kavanuagh's appointment to the Supreme Court. Bad things have been alleged against him and many, many glorious things have been said about him. The Judiciary committee, the Senate and all of Congress are now faced with the decision of what to do with Kavanuagh and that decision is to go forward.

The sexual assault alleged against Kavanaugh is a heinous accusation that no one should ever take lightly. The lack of evidence and support that the accuser has from witnesses and other facts that she cannot present or remember is disconcerting. Not only is it disconcerting there is no enough evidence against Kavanaugh to make a legal case. Kavanaugh's denial and his life of service and commending testimonies from so many who have worked with him throughout the years have weighed heavily in his favor.

Let's face it, almost all of the Democrats will vote against him and the Republicans will vote for him. Amazingly, with all of the rhetoric, testimonies and mud hurled from both sides of this debate it will come down to a decision to be made. Many decisions will simply

be made in favor of the President's recommendation and decisions will be made against the President's recommendation. It depends on whether you are a Democrat or Republican.

I like Kavanaugh. I would vote for him. He has a lifelong outstanding record of service. I feel very sorry for his accuser. I hope that she can find emotional healing. She seems to have lived a very productive life filled with educational and career attainments.

It comes down to making a decision. My decision for Kavanaugh is based on substantiated facts. It's a lousy ugly process that seems now to be a part of every national debate. Time and again we are faced with "he said, she said," testimony that is factored into national elections and Supreme Court appointments. It will never go away and will be a part of most of our important elections and other national appointments from here on out it seems.

Rapists, abusers, assaulters should not never be installed in places of such high service as the Supreme Court or even the Presidency. With that being said, we must not ever allow a last minute below the belt punch, which is what some of these accusations seem

Thursday, October 4, 2018

to be. They are like a last minute hail Mary thrown in hopes that someone somewhere will catch it and run with it to some kind of miraculous victory that otherwise would Glenn Mollette be impossible.

Joseph was a young man in the Bible who lived an exemplary life. He was accused of rape by Potiphar's wife simply because he refused her advances to sleep with her. She was a scorned woman and was happy for Joseph to spend two years in prison because he refused her sexual advances.

Joseph was falsely accused and treated very badly. Eventually he was freed from prison and went on to do great things for the nation of Egypt and his fellow countrymen.

Kavanaugh's not going to jail but he has been through an emotional nightmare. He will go forward to serve our country in a great way.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What It Means to Live in Polarized Times

By Lee H. Hamilton We live in a divided country. And I don’t just mean politically.

The last few decades have produced great inequality of wealth and with it, unequal access to the levers of power. We’re split along regional lines. We’re divided along rural and urban lines. We increasingly struggle with differences of race, religion, and class.

We’re also divided politically and ideologically. Abortion, gun rights, same-sex marriage, the use and abuse of police power, curbs on corporate power, environmental protection: these issues elicit strong feelings and cut deeply through the electorate.

These divides permeate our politics in ways that, a generation ago, would have been unthinkable. It’s not just that public debate has become coarser, less civil, and more mean-spirited. It’s that partisanship is being woven into places we once believed were safe from it, such as the courts.

So what do we do about this? The answer, actually, is not complicated.

We have to boost public understanding about how to participate in the process. We have to be more mindful about the quality of public dialogue. We have to appreciate the roles of cooperation, collaboration, and compromise in a representative democracy.

This means listening carefully and trying to understand the other’s point of view. It means figuring out how to accommodate differences, so that rather than every fight producing winners and losers, everyone can walk away with something gained. It means recognizing that we’re all searching for the common good.

The greatness of our country rests on shared ideals that go beyond party labels. Most Americans want to believe that better days are ahead, that progress is possible, and that major policy disagreements may not be easily resolved, but do yield to discussion that is carried on rationally and with civility and respect.

One peculiarity of this time of great unease, when lack of confidence in the country and its institutions is rampant and our differences are accentuated, is that it comes at a moment of economic growth. In the past, it’s usually been a sour economy that exacerbated divisions.

That’s a puzzle, but it’s also an opportunity. It means that we have a prosperous economic backdrop that should allow us more easily to find common ground with one another, as I’ve seen happen in the past. It’s time to step up our game, move past our differences, and propel the country forward.

SEMINARY from page 1

“We’re here today to ask God’s blessing on St. Joseph College Seminary,” Bishop Jugis said. “We pray that what we begin today, He will be happy to bring to a successful completion, because this is the Lord’s work after all. It is His work that we are cooperating with, collaborating with, and it is all of course for the greater glory and honor of His name.

The winds picked up a bit as Deacon Peter Tonin read Matthew 7:25, “The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.”

No umbrellas were needed as the bishop, formators, and special guests tossed ceremonial shovels of dirt while a choir of seminarians sang Psalm 126 with its antiphon,

“May the Lord build us a dwelling.”

The ceremony concluded with remarks from the rector of St. Joseph College Seminary, Rev. Matthew Kauth.

Fr. Kauth told those gathered that the building was a symbol of the courage and faith of the diocese’s laity and 2 seminarians.

“This building will stand as witness to the permanent commitment to Catholic Tradition in western North Carolina,” he said. “With the blessing of the Bishop and the prayers of the faithful, we will form good and holy priests for our diocese for generations to come.”

The $20 million college seminary will take approximately 15 months to construct.

The two-story building will include a chapel, classroom, library, conference rooms, a kitchen and refectory, faculty offices, and a guest room for speakers and visiting priests.

It will also include 40 dorm rooms or “cells” for seminarians. The original plan called for 20 cells, but enrollment at the new college seminary has already exceeded that number.

The property is located on 86 wooded acres straddling the municipalities of Belmont and Mt. Holly, two miles from Belmont Abbey College, where seminarians work toward an

undergraduate degree in philosophy.

“As a providential sign, the college seminary is located at 1212 Perfection Avenue,” said Fr. Kauth. “Christian perfection is the goal of the spiritual life, especially for the priesthood. It will serve as a perpetual reminder of the command of Christ: ‘Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48).’”

Bishop Jugis has made promoting priestly vocations a priority since he was appointed Bishop of Charlotte by Pope (now Saint) John Paul II in August 2003. His decision to establish the college seminary was in response to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ recognition that vocations need to be identified earlier and nurtured locally.

St. Joseph is the only college seminary between northern Virginia and southern Florida.

Current enrollment at the seminary is 21. Two of the men from St. Joseph’s inaugural class graduated in May and began their graduate studies in Theology at Mount St. Mary in Ohio last week.

St. Joseph College Seminary was founded in 2016 under the direction of Bishop Peter Jugis of the Diocese of Charlotte, in response to the growing number of priestly vocations in the Diocese. It strives to build its seminarians as men of virtue through

that folks bring in for work that is becoming a lost art.

Clark grew up in the British bike business.

“My father, Charlie Clark, sold motorcycles,” Rick says. “In 1969 he bought the Triumph dealership in Forest City. By 1971 he was selling $250,000 a year in bikes. He was so successful the Triumph company sent him on a trip to their factory in England and also Paris.”

Rick was 14 years old in '71.

“Daddy had my brother Heath and I take the new bikes out of their crates and put them together,” Clark said. “That's how we learned to work on them. A new one at that time cost $1,250.”

Rick went to college and pursued a career as a youth counselor and social worker. That included 28 years with Cleveland County Schools. He got married to his wife Linda and had two daughters. The motorcycle bug bit again and he began looking for a place to open up a shop reminiscent of the one he, his brother, and father had once operated.

“I just wanted to tinker with them,” he said.

About 15 years ago, Clark found what he was looking for, a shop right on US 74 on the banks of Sandy Run creek.

“The building had been a fish camp and in the early 1970s filmmaker Earl Owensby had shot a scene for the movie Hell Driver,” Clark said. “Later it was a rug factory, then it was empty for a while.”

The building is not pretentious, but just the right size for a down home shop where folks

“My RDCs are the ones who helped push me to my limits,” Thomas said. “They pushed me to be the best I could be every single day, partially because of the countless physical training sessions, and partially because of the motivational speeches they would give us. I also accredit my mother, Kimberly Settlemyer, who constantly showed me support through her letters and motivated me to be better than the day before.”

Thomas said the biggest challenge he faced at boot camp was overcoming being homesick.

“Especially during the first few weeks,” he said. “Back home, I was constantly communicating with friends and family, and then being put into an environment where I was cut off from that was difficult. Focusing on the everyday mission set in front of me, writing letters, and praying is what helped me push through.”

can pop in and talk vintage bikes.

“We have had customers come from as far away as Michigan to have us restore their bikes,” Clark said. “We've also had folks come from Texas, Florida, and Arizona. We love visitors and hearing their stories.”

At any time, there as many as forty or fifty vintage Britbikes in the shop. Outside a number of storage units hold even more bikes and parts.

Clark's customers all appreciate the styling and panache of the old bikes.

“A lot of them are professional people who remember the British bikes from when they were younger,” said Clark. “Often, they want to relive that time.”

Clark does whatever it takes to help those dreams come true.

“The riders have a passion for these bikes,” he said. “The shop is my passion.”

Clark wants to expand his love of the older bikes.

“I am looking at the possibility of opening up a larger place that would also be a museum closer to Shelby,” he said.

In the meantime, Clark says his door is open at the Sandy Run location.

The current construction on the Shelby Bypass has cut off direct access to the shop from US74. To get there take Exit 193 just west of Shelby to McBrayer Homestead Rd. then a quick right onto Broadway Dr. the shop is at the end of that street. The phone is 704-4342421. Hours are Thursday and Friday 9-5 and Saturday 9-4.

Boot camp is approximately eight weeks and all enlistees into the U.S. Navy begin their careers at the command. Training includes physical fitness, seamanship, firearms, firefighting and shipboard damage control along with lessons in Navy heritage and core values, teamwork and discipline. More than 30,000 recruits graduate annually from RTC and begin their Navy careers.

Thomas is assigned the rate of aviation electronics technician. After graduation, Thomas will attend his “A” School in Pensacola, Florida.

Aviation Electronics Technicians work with some of the most advanced electronics equipment in the world and repair a wide range of aircraft electrical and electronic systems.

Gaston County EMS receives CAAS accreditation

2nd Get Ready Gaston forum targets preparing for growth About 100 elected officials and economic development professionals attended the second Get Ready Gaston Forum on Preparing for Growth at Belmont Abbey College on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2018. Candidates for elec-

tive office also were invited.

The forum is a public service project coordinated by the Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with sponsor Atrium Health.

The objective is to help Gaston County elected offi-

The first Get Ready Gaston in 2017 focused on learning from counties such as

Gaston County EMS has just received notification that they have once again received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulances Services (CAAS) for the agency’s compliance with national standards of excellence.

The Commission is a non-profit organization which was established to encourage and promote quality patient care in America’s medical transportation system. The primary focus of the Commission’s standards is high-quality patient care. This is accomplished by establishing national standards which not only address the delivery of patient care, but also the ambulance service’s total operation and its relationships with other agencies, the general public, and the medical community. The Commission’s standards often exceed state or local licensing requirements.

Gaston County EMS was the first EMS agency in North Carolina to receive this recognition in 1995 and has voluntarily maintained the standards set by the Commission since that time. There are now a total of five EMS agencies in North Carolina and just 182 in the United States that are currently recognized by CAAS as being compliant in these standards.

As part of the renewal process that comes every three years, Gaston County EMS participated in a two day onsite evaluation process in July where evaluators interviewed employees, visited stations, inspected ambulances, and reviewed records. During those two days, employees at every level played a valuable role in the agency’s ability to meet the Commission’s high standards and were integral to the Montcross Area Chamber Board Chair Carey Roberts of Carey Roberts Design introducing speaksuccessful completion of this process. ers at the Get Ready Gaston forum.

Banner-News Obituaries Sometimes

Herman Reid “Deck” Decker Herman Reid “Deck” Decker, 88, formerly of Belmont, North Carolina passed away on September 21, 2018, at Brookdale New Hope, in Gastonia, NC. Herman was born on July 19, 1930 in Buena Vista, Va. He was the eldest child of the late Herman Crist Decker and Elizabeth Reid Decker.

He spent his adult life in Belmont, the hometown of his late wife of 55 years, Anne Hall Dixon Decker. The two met in 1950 while he attended Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and she attended Mary Baldwin College.

Together they raised and are survived by their four children and their spouses, Allison Decker Crotts and her husband Dallas David Crotts of Stanley, NC, Robert Dixon Decker and his wife Patricia Corcoran Decker of Belmont, NC, Charles Benson Decker and his wife Christiana Vaughan Decker of Belmont, NC, and Mary Denny Barker and her husband Jeffrey Scott Barker of Warren, Vt. He was the proud grandfather of eleven grandchildren, Leann, Sally, and Chad Crotts; Rob Decker; Ben, Heath, and Annalee Decker; and Connor, Catherine Anne, and Abby Barker. He also recently celebrated the birth of his first great-grandchild, Judah Braefield of Vernon CT. He is predeceased by his grandson Will Crotts.

He is also survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Virginia and Vane McClurg of Lakeland Fl., sister, Barbara Jean Phillips of Pine Tops NC, and sister-in-law Wanda Decker of Buena Vista Va., as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his wife Anne and grandson Will, he was preceded in death by his brother Kenneth Decker, his brother-in-law Robert Phillips, and his sister-in-law Martha Underwood.

While at VMI, Deck was a Track and Field world class sprinter and briefly an Olympic hopeful. After graduation and marriage, he served in the army in the Korean War as a tank commander.

Upon return to the states and civilian life, he worked with his father-in-law, Mr. Robert Clarence Dixon, at Belmont Block & Pipe Co. He later went on to found AnDek Lubrication Special-

ists in 1980 with his wife Anne and was joined in business by his two sons. In 2002, AnDek was absorbed by Livingston & Haven of Charlotte, NC, to whom the family expresses their deep gratitude.

He was a dedicated member of First Presbyterian Church of Belmont where he served as a deacon, an elder, a Sunday school teacher, and scoutmaster of B.S.A. Troop 62 for numerous years. He chaired the committee that was responsible for the relocation and construction of First Presbyterian from Glenway Street to its current site in 1966.

After retirement, he found purpose as a volunteer at the Belmont Community Organization (BCO) for several years before his move to assisted living. He was also a committed former athlete, and walked five miles daily around town, becoming such a fixture that he became the subject of a feature article in the Belmont Banner.

He will be best remembered by those who loved him for his wicked whiskey sours, his kindness, his service to others, and his profound love for his wife Anne. He has missed her greatly.

The family will receive visitors at First Presbyterian Church of Belmont, 102 South Central Ave. Belmont, NC, 28012, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Friday, September 28, 2018.

Following a private graveside interment service at Greenwood Cemetery of Belmont, NC. A memorial service will be held at First Presbyterian Church of Belmont on Saturday, September 29, 2018; at 11:00 a.m. A brief visitation will also be held in the gathering space of First Presbyterian immediately following the memorial service. Reverend Sam Warner and Reverend Daria Ragan will officiate. The grandchildren will serve as honorary pallbearers. McLean Funeral Directors of Belmont is serving the family.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the First Presbyterian Church of Belmont, PO Box 1, Belmont, NC, 28012, and the Belmont Community Organization (BCO), 91 East Catawba Street, Belmont, NC 28012.

“I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for my departure has come. I have fought the good fight.

I have completed the race. I have kept the faith.” (2nd Timothy 4:6-7) McLean Funeral Services is serving the family.

In Memory Those we Love remain with us, for Love itself lives on.

Cherished memories never fade, because a loved one is gone.

Those we Love can never be,more than a thought apart.

For as long as there is a memory,they’ll live on in our heart. ~Author Unknown

We Should Ask More Questions There’s an old adage that goes “can’t see the forest for the trees.” It teaches us that sometimes we get caught up in details and can’t see the bigger picture. Personally, that’s me! I can focus on “a thing” and become unaware of what is going on around me. Sometimes, lost in thought while driving, I forget where I am going. Some of you may be like this too.

Sometimes, however, the converse is true. The bigger picture can become so routine to us that we miss important details. That’s what happened to me; it took hurricane Irma to wake me up.

Bev and I moved to NC partially because of the trees.

South Texas didn’t have the majestic landscapes we have here. When we bought our home with two acres of dense trees, we were enraptured. Among our forest were a great many majestic Tulip Poplars; 80-120 foot poplars ringed our home and peppered the rear acreage.

They looked so stately that it never occurred to me they could ever fall down. That thought became a certainty to me. I should have learned more about them; asked more questions.

When the edge of hurricane Irma touched our property September 11, 2017 it blew down a 100 foot poplar growing in a deep dry creek bed dividing our property.

We heard it topple at 8:30 pm. “How on earth does a big tree like this just blow over?”

Trees have different types of root systems. Some have wide spreading roots while others have deep tap roots;

some have both. I never had asked myself about our poplar root systems. I should have since so many of them could damage our home if they fall like this one. It turns out that healthy poplars have tap roots as deep as the tree is tall, and branching roots as wide as its leafy canopy. So what happened to my tree?

Basically, it had enough root structure to produce leaves but it had neither the integrity of a normal tap root or branching system to hold it up under pressure. Its support structure was rotten and vulnerable to this storm.

This got me thinking about how important root structures are to humans and the storms we face?

Jeremiah 17:8 teaches us to be planted by water (God’s Word and the Holy Spirit) so we can weather heat, drought and bear fruit.

Colossians 2:7 encourages being rooted in Jesus and strengthened by faith in Him and Job 14: 8 cautions about roots growing old and dying.

Finally, Mark chapter 4 has much to say about us being planted in good soil. From an agricultural perspective my tulip poplar wasn’t underpinned well. How about each of us? If we aren’t underpinned by an infallible support system might we fail and topple over too? Are we doing all we should to keep our spiritual, emotional, and intellectual roots firmly planted? Isn’t this question vital to us; vital for our earthly successes and eternal destination?

I had the chance to go to one of the underground caverns in the mountains with my family once. Toward the end of the tour, the tour guide announced they would cut the lights off and let everyone experience true darkness. As they turned off the lights, the cave was totally dark, with no hint of light. I have never experienced darkness as that was. Inevitably, in the modern world as this is, someone had a cell phone and Rev. Trent Rankin turned it on. The light from that small Salvation Church Gastonia, NC phone screen lit the entire cave. Jesus says in Matthew 5:14, “You are the salvationchurchnc.org light of the world” (NKJV). Just like that cell phone in the cave, as Christ followers we light a very dark world.

Daniel 1:1-19 tells of a young Daniel who let his light shine for God. Around 605 BC the nation of Judah was invaded by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. The king carried away captive some of the people, including many of the young men who were skilled and knowledgeable for their age. The king did this so that they could be taught the way of the Chaldeans, the people of Babylon. Of these young men, four were Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Each of these boys would be trained for three years before they met the king. Part of this training included eating the king’s food and drinking his wine. Daniel told the servant over them that he could not eat these foods, because they were in violation of God’s law.

Daniel asked the servant to prove he and his friends by giving them only vegetables and water for ten days. At the end of the time, the servant found them in better condition than the others who ate the king’s food. God would bless these four young boys mightily before the king.

Daniel and his friends let their light shine for God. They did not worry about what others thought including the king. They did not blend in with the crowd, they stood above the others.

Fear did not keep them from living for God, as it did the others.

In return for their faithfulness, they influenced others around them including the servant and the king. We too must let our light shine for Jesus. Our world is dark and evil, yet we can stand tall for God. We must not let fear hold us back. We must let our light shine brightly for all to see. If we live before God, letting our light shine, we will impact others for Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:16 reminds us, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (NKJV). Let your light shine!

First Presbyterian Church Pumpkin Patch The Annual Pumpkin Patch at First Presbyterian Church of Mount Holly will arrive on Saturday, October 13. FREE hotdogs will be served on the lawn from 11:00 - 2:00 on the 13th.

All proceeds from pumpkin sales go to the Community Relief Organization. The church address is 133 S. Main Street.

Anxious for Autumn Gazing out the window of my apartment, I watch as the trees cling to any remnants of summer they can. We all know better, yet Mother Nature has yet to trade in her one-piece for a cardigan in our humble county. I can’t say that I blame her. Between the cookouts, poolside book readings, cold brews, and peaches from Lineberger’s, who would want it to end? According to my Facebook feed, a lot of us!

Maybe there is something engrained in us all that makes us sense when the seasons change. They say that seasonal change will influence one’s mental state. Winter for instance will make people more depressed in its early stages due to the cold and dreary state of the world outside according to researchers.

With that notion, take solace in the fact that you are not alone with the desire to break out your light jackets, boots, and jeans to go out to fall festivities. And yes, even though the main reason we all want summer out of here is this everhanging humidity that clings to each of us like a bad habit, there is so much

more to beloved Autumn to be excited about.

After you read this article, take a moment to close your eyes and imagine the following. The temperature outside is finally a cool, dry sixty-three degrees.

You’re enjoying a fresh cup of coffee from the Catawba Coffee Co. because you’re supporting local business and you’ve decided to go to Tuckaseegee Park to enjoy the long-awaited weather.

You park your car and depart its warmth transitioning into the crisp breeze.

Leaves rustle as they gently surrender to their inevitable freefall to the crunchy grass below and you begin to walk to a bench in the sun to simply exist in the beginning of the end of the flora.

When you open your eyes, you may be disappointed in the sad eighty-sixdegree reality we are still faced with, but at least we can all drown our sorrow in fall festive food! That’s right, pumpkins have patched the shelves of all the grocery stores. From pumpkin spice to toasted maple, there are many flavors for the palate to choose from. The

only problem that arises is that the tastes never seem to match the scenery. It’s hard to enjoy a hot cup of coffee while the sun swelters. Craft beer even turns with the leaves and takes on a Shelton Fisher pumpkin flavor.

While an icecold draft straight from the tap proves to be exceptionally tasty, nothing is more awful than pumpkin spice in a beer in the midday heat.

Perhaps this is all just a test of patience for us Autumn lovers out here in the Carolinas. It is said after all that good things come to those who wait. I suppose I’ll turn down my air conditioning, grab my sweater, get another cup of coffee, and watch as another leaf gains a fleck of yellow. Here’s to less than 30 days until Halloween!

Their courses will be organized into 8-week sessions in the fall, spring, and summer. Taking two or three courses each session students will graduate after two years.

TIME FOR FALL PLANTING TREES & SHRUBS!

More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in America each year, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk.

Healthy lifestyle choices like consuming a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity and avoiding cigarettes and excessive alcohol are all important steps in helping to prevent breast cancer. Early detection is also key in the fight against breast cancer, so be sure to perform a breast self-exam each month, and ask your doctor when to schedule mammograms and other screenings.

Practice self-awareness...

Early detection of breast cancer is the single-most effective way to beat the disease. That is why it is essential for women to conduct their own breast exams to discover any potential anomalies early on.

While doctors stress the importance of self-examination, many women still show up for routine wellness visits admitting they don’t do examinations because they simply don’t know how. Perhaps because the practice was given the formal name “breast self-exam.” Today, however, doctors tell women to have “breast self-awareness.” That means women don’t have to follow a set protocol regarding checking for breast changes, and simply being aware of how the breasts look and feel is key.

Why the change in the formalities? Doctors have determined that most women notice a lump in their breasts while doing routine activities, such as bathing or dressing. Lumps can be found simply by touching the breasts in any pattern, as long as the entire breast is checked.

704-263-4747

Follow these guidelines • Breasts are best checked for changes directly after a menstrual period. Breast tissue will be softer and less tender due to diminishing hormone levels.

• Look at the breasts every day and notice their appearance and shape. Recognizing subtle differences can alert a doctor if something is amiss.

Be conscious of these changes: Changes in breast size, shape, skin texture, or color Dimpling or puckering of the breast Discharge from the nipples Scaliness of the skin Nipple pulling to one side Lump or mass in the breast Enlarged lymph node under the arm Any changes or questions about breast condition should be promptly brought up with a doctor.

Women should know their risk for breast cancer.

While there isn’t a definitive genetic correlation, the high rate of breast cancer in one family may mean a particular woman is more at risk.

Get routine screenings at a doctor’s office.

Women over the age of 40 should get a mammogram every year.

Gaston Schools holds 50th anniversary parade Gaston County Schools held its 50th anniversary parade event on September 22 in Gastonia.

Nearly 90 school-related entries proceeded along Main Avenue (beginning at Chester Street and concluding at Broad Street) to mark the school district’s community-wide celebration of its golden anniversary.

All 55 schools were represented in the parade. The lineup featured 10 high school marching bands, 11 middle school cheerleading squads, school mascots, JROTC units, and special guests. There were plenty of familiar faces, including current and former Board of Education members, Teachers and Principals of the Year, long-time employees, retirees, and more.

Seniors representing the Class of 2019 and kindergartners representing the Class of 2031 served as the grand marshals.

Ashbrook High School teacher Mamie Chisholm served as the honorary grand marshal. Chisholm began her career with Gaston County Schools in August 1968 and is considered to be an “original employee” of the unified school district.

The 2018-2019 academic year marks 50 years since the merger/consolidation of the county schools with the Gastonia city schools and the Cherryville city schools. The unification (as it was called in documents from 1968) formed “Gaston County Schools” as we know it today.

South Point rolls over Ashbrook 46-14

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

The Red Raiders football team came off of the bye week ready to rumble. South Point never missed a beat in laying down a 46-14 thrashing of Ashbrook in a nonconference showdown.

Ashbrook went into the game looking impressive.

Before taking on South Point, the Greenwave had scored wins over Burns, Forestview, East Lincoln and East Meck.

The Red Raiders hit the Green Wave hard scoring 28 unanswered points in the first half. Keaton Hale and Naseem Jones went to the locker room at halftime each having scored a pair of touchdowns.

In the third quarter South Point continue to roll. A Caleb Gibson run and a Gustavo Tadokoro PAT put South Point ahead 32-0.

In fourth-quarter action South Point and Ashbrook squared up in a battle of matching touchdowns. Each team scored a pair of touchdowns in the 4th. The South Point numbers were garnered

by Hale and Jahmani Leeper.

South Point dominated the Greenwave on both sides of the ball. South Point had 432 yards of total offense compared to Ashbrook’s 184.

All of South Point’s yardage came off of a hard pounding ground game.

“We played as a team,” head coach Adam Hodge said. “We played really well in the first half.”

The Red Raiders defense and special teams also did their job in helping to secure the win.

“Turnovers played a role,” coach Hodge said.

“The kicking game was good.

We recovered an onside kick and we got a fumble recovery.”

The fact that South Point was playing smash-mouth football did not go unnoticed by coach Hodge. “We played very physical,” Hodge said.

“You can tell by watching the tape. I’m proud of the way we played. It was Military Appreciation Night. An all around good game.”

Naseem Jones left the game as South Point’s top rusher. Along with his two touchdowns. Jones had 220 yards off of 26 carries for a 8.4 yards a carry average.

With the win South Point improves to 4-2. Ashbrook dropped to 4-2.

Next week the Red Raiders will open up Southwestern 2A Conference play at East Gaston against the 0-6 Warriors.

Junior defensive back Jammari Lewis models the special jersey.

The South Point vs Ashbrook football game was also Military Appreciation Night and both teams wore special jerseys supplied by the National Guard. South Point won 46-14. Here come the Red Raiders.

Belmont River District logos were painted on the water tank at Catawba River Antique Mall in an incredible private-public partnership through the generosity of the owners of Bisque Imports and Slumpy’s, who also own the Antique Mall building and the water tank. They paid a steep price to have the obsolete and rusted tank scraped, cleaned, sealed and repainted as a gift to a city that has been good for them and their multiple businesses. The City of Belmont and the Belmont Tourism Development Authority paid to have the River District logos added. What an amazing example of corporate citizenship. Thank you D.J. Toal and Scott Toal. Everyone is proud that you and your businesses are members of the Montcross Area Chamber.

The 16th annual Lake Wylie Riversweep will be held on October 6. The Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation and Lake Wylie Marine Commission have made preparations for the annual lake clean up event and are looking for a strong turnout of volunteers.

This is a fun volunteer opportunity to clean up Lake Wylie and area creeks and streams. Come alone or bring your family, friends, co-workers, or neighbors. You will join people from all around the lake who care about maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

Over the years Riversweep has made a difference in reducing the amount litter in the lake. This year may be quite different. The effects of Hurricane Florence may impact the amount and nature of the debris from flood waters flowing through Lake Wylie. Taking part in this year’s cleanup is especially important.

If you have pre-registered already, thank you. Returning volunteers are the greatest asset of Riversweep.

If you have not pre-registered, now is the time! Just go online to www.lakewylieriversweep.com. Registering takes just a few minutes to complete and, of course, it’s free. Plus, you can earn community service hours when you volunteer for Riversweep.

Every year we need more and more boat captains willing to bring their boats to help ferry volunteers to where the trash and litter are located. We normally get between 800 and 1000 volunteers, but rarely have more than 60 boats to work the shoreline. As always, protective tarps will be provided to all boats.

To encourage boat owners to pre-register, a drawing exclusively for pre-registered Boat Captains will be conducted. Prizes include tickets to a Hornets game this season and a Charlotte Knights game next season, among others great gifts.

A separate drawing will be held at each site for all other pre-registered volunteers, one winner per site.

Get ready for Riversweep by reviewing the following checklist: Select a volunteer site that is convenient to

you. Wear comfortable, old clothing, closed-toe shoes – no flip flops - that can get wet and muddy, a hat or sun visor and sunscreen. Bring a snack or bag lunch with you, as no food is provided. Riversweep Site Captains will distribute bottled water, work gloves, and trash bags to their volunteers. Be sure to read the Assumption of Risk & Release form. On the registration form, you will be asked to check a box stating that you agree to the terms stated in the form. Note for volunteers less than 18 years of age: You may pre-register online, but you are also required to print out a copy of the Assumption of Risk & Release form, obtain a parent or guardian signature on the form, and bring it with them to the event.

Note for volunteers less than 13 years of age: Under state law, you must wear a Coast Guard-approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) when on board watercraft. If you have a PFD or life jacket of your own, please bring it to Riversweep and wear it when you’re out on the water. If you have questions about the pre-registration process,

please e-mail the Registrar at riversweep@catawbariverkeeper.org. Boat Captains must be 21 or older. Boat Captains under 25 years of age must have passed a state approved boater safety course The first 750 volunteers who pre-register will receive a free Riversweep t-shirt!

If you have not pre-registered, but want to participate, just show up on Saturday, October 6th at 8:00 AM at any site location listed. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a t-shirt for participants who are not pre-registered prior to the event.

If you are pre-registering a group, be sure that you have 10 or more members, their names and t-shirt sizes. Then e-mail the Registrar at riversweep@catawbariverkeeper. org for separate registration instructions. If you are preregistering a group of less than 10 members, just sign up as individuals and select the same site.

All registered group leaders and boat captains will be contacted in advance of the event by a Riversweep organizer to provide additional information and instructions.

Mountain Island takes down Union Academy 22-7

HOLY MOLE

OUT TO LUNCH

By RICH DIESSLIN

by RICK HOTTON

After taking a tough one to the chin against Bessemer City last week the Mountain Island Raptors football team responded with a big 22-7 Southern Piedmont 1A Conference win over the Union Academy Cardinals.

“It was a good way to bounce back from last week,” head coach Robert Washington said. “I think our boys showed a lot of fight. A lot of grit.”

Mountain Island unleashed a dominating ground game against the Cardinals.

The Raptors turned out 463 yards of total offense, 362 of it came on the ground.

Most of the hard running came from Elijah Burris. The 5’10” 215 pound junior back turned out to be a one-man wrecking ball as he ran for 320 yards and two touchdowns.

Mountain Island quarterback Demetrius Washington had a good game as well. Washington threw for 101 yards and ran for 22 more. He also threw a touchdown pass to Will Owens.

The Mountain Island defense had a good day against the Cardinals. The Raptors registered five sacks and three fumble recoveries. MI’s top tackler was Gabe Stephens with 10 stops.

Not far behind Stephens was Jamir Johnson with nine tackles.

The Raptors got the win, but not everything went MI’s way against Union Academy. The Raptors faced a good deal of adversity as well. Mountain Island was flagged several times with an assortment of different calls. The penalties called back several big plays. However, instead of brooding on what happened the Raptors kept on pounding.

“We had four touchdowns called back,” coach Washington noted. “Despite that the kids played hard.”

Many of runs that were called back came off of long runs

by Burris.

Coach Washington took it all in stride and was still pleased with how his back played and how the team responded.

“Burris had a good game.” He said.

Right now Burris is having a monster year. In six games we has ran for over 1,400 yards and scored 19 touchdowns. He has a staggering 15.2 yards a carry average. When you break that down farther the numbers tell just how well Burris is playing.

Burris has ran for over 300 yards in one game, over 200 yards in three games and over 100 yards in two others. He has never ran for less than 167 yards in a game.

With the win the Raptors now improve to 4- 2. This week Mountain Island will face off against Cherryville at home in another Southern Piedmont 1A game. The Ironmen are 3-3.
