Municipal elections saw steady turnout

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

Well, the weather was perfect for last week’s municipal elections in Gaston County and a fair number of folks took advantage and got out and voted.

Poll chief Tian Sagasi at Precinct 46 in Mt. Holly summed up the pace that was typical of other voting places

in the BannerNews distribution area.

“By 11am we had 239 voters come in,” Sagasi said.

“It was very busy.”

Ditto at the Belmont Central Elementary voting station.

“It has been a steady turnout,” said poll chief Delilah Winchester.

Anyway, countywide, 13,562 out of 97,883 regis-

tered voters cast their ballot.

Don’t forget the election was for municipal seats and/or issues (like the Mt. Holly Parks Bond referendum).

In Belmont, mayoral incumbent Charles Martin defeated challenger Claudina Ghianni 957 to 619, followed

by Jason Lyle with 124 votes.

Jennifer Ramsey named Belmont Central Elementary Teacher of the Year

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

Working at any career for three decades is a feat, and when a person adds passion for that work to the mix, well, it’s a formula for success.

That pretty much describes Belmont Central El-

ementary School Teacher of the Year Jennifer Ramsey.

Cramerton native Ramsey has been a school teacher since she graduated from Appalachian State University back in 1990. She started at Lowell Elementary, and from there she moved over to Holbrook Middle. That was

followed by several years at the Gifted Services division of Gaston County Schools.

About 17 years ago she landed at Belmont Central and has been there ever since.

“It’s been a long time,” Ramsey said.

See TEACHER, Page 4

Members of the Cramerton Historical Society and special guests got together recently to discuss the game of golf- specifically as it relates to the town.

For nearly a century golf has been woven into Cramerton’s past as tightly as the weave of the famous military cloth once produced there.

The first course was built on the banks of the South Fork River by Stuart Cramer back in 1922. The unnamed course was near Tenth St. and extended to Lincoln. St. In 1927, a nine-hole course, Cramerton Golf Course, was constructed at the base of Cramer Mtn. near the Baltimore community.

That course was said to be a “marvel of natural beauty and engineering”.

In 1954, Lakewood Golf Course was designed and built by Mike Michaels. The course was originally meant

Hope United Survivor Network launches new website Hope United Survivor Network launched a brand-new website to provide an all-in-one digital home for survivor support and community prevention education in Gaston County.

Visit the new website at https://hopeunitedgaston.com Hope United Survivor Network was created in spring 2020 to create a single point of entry for residents of Gaston County who need resources to address domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking and elder abuse. Gaston County now houses all survivor services under one department, Hope United Survivor Network. Under this umbrella,

programs include: The Lighthouse Children’s Advocacy Center, Hope United’s Family Justice Center, and The Cathy Mabry Cloninger Center: a domestic violence shelter.

The survivors’ network hopes this new site serves as a hub for survivors and their support networks to get help and information.

The site includes several features to assist residents in vulnerable situations. Notably, if a person is concerned about whether they are in an abusive or potentially violent situation, the website offers information, self-assessments, and a “quick-escape” that redirects the browser to Google if they

need to quickly redirect away from the site.

Similarly, the website provides a single home for residents who are looking to support violence prevention work through time or monetary donations. On the website’s “Give Hope” page, supporters can find ways to directly support the programs run by Hope United.

Hope United Survivor Network is a community collaborative working in one location to provide survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, child abuse, and elder abuse a safe and secure place to get the help they deserve.

R ECOLLECTIONS AND R EFLECTIONS Let’s tell the truth about lying

They’re back!

Holiday parades are back. Real parades.

Not those so-called drive through ones or virtual ones like we’ve had to deal with for the past couple of years thanks to you know what 19, but real parades with floats floating down streets, and marching bands marching along, and dancing girls, and clowns, and showers of candy thrown from floats and all the hoopla and hooray and yippee that we can stand all crammed into about an hour’s worth of fall fun.

The parade season kicked off a couple of weeks ago with the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade.

Wow wee how people were happy to get out and see a real parade. The sidewalks were packed with parade watchers and the lanterns lit up the night and folk were so happy they could barely contain themselves. I saw one lady doubled over she was laughing so hard and that was pretty much the entire atmosphere that night.

Next was the Shriners parade last weekend in downtown Belmont. The Shriners know how to have a good time and the jalopies and go carts and everything lese they brought to this affair had people smiling from ear to ear.

It was a real parade!

The Christmas parades will be coming in a few weeks. I go to every one of them I can and take photos for the paper. Rain or shine.

I confess that grabbing some candy thrown from floats is one of my favorite things. Not just any candy. Chocolate is my game. One

year I was covering the parade in Stanley and got there kinda late. I bummed a scooter from a guy and used it to race to the front of the parade line as it moved Alan Hodge along. I forgot about Banner-News Editor the candy showers and got pelted several times as I sped through them. It was like being caught in a hailstorm of confectionary. Hey, those sour balls really hurt.

One time I saw the Carousel parade in Charlotte. People on floats were throwing candy and the kids were diving to the pavement to grab it up. Suddenly, out of a storm drain, a huge rat appeared. He ran over and got some candy and ducked back in the drain.

Really.

Oh yeah, don’t forget about you know who the Jolly Old Elf. I think they leave him until last so you have to watch the whole thing before you can leave. The kids demand it. What do you want Sanny to bring you this year?

How about peace and quiet and good health.

Cheap but priceless in many ways.

Well, I hope these dashed off words whet your appetite for the coming parades. Maybe they will stir some memories in your own head of parades past. Maybe things are getting back to normal at long last.

By Mark Costner Ephesians 4:25 Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

A man saw this sign: “Talking Dog for Sale.” He laughed out loud and knocked on the door. The owner told him, “The dog’s in the backyard. See for yourself.” Sure enough there it was a white dog with a black tail. “You talk?” the man ask. “Yep,” replied the dog. “I discovered my gift when I was just a pup, and I wanted to help the government. So I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all, I was flying around the world from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was their most valuable spy seven years in a row. But the fast pace lifestyle really tired me out, so I got married, had a litter of puppies, and called it quits.

And now I’m retired.”

Connect the Dots: It’s all about Him

What do we owe?

By Dennis Siracusa Most of us have had a sleep deprived night sometime. I had one recently; five hours of sound sleep; two more thinking of stuff; finally got up at 4am. I was concerned about today’s pressures on people. Two million households 90 days behind on mortgages, 8 million households behind on rent and our illustrious government cheering about a $3.5 trillion dollar spending package they want to impose on us. How are we going to pay for this staggering infrastructure expense if we can barely pay for rent and groceries? When will the “other shoe drop?” Who is going to enlighten us to the “rest of the story?” Here’s some math to help clarify our position: Current Governmental assets: +$ 5.800T Current Personal Savings +$ 9.650T Federal Debt held by public -$20.830T 2019 Consumer credit card debt -$ 4.165T 2019 Consumer revolving debt -$ 1.080T Subtotal (-$10.625T) (before the infrastructure debt.)

Since we owe more than our government and public assets by a wide margin, any encouragement from various leaders to sink a deeper debt hole is unthinkably reckless. We cannot spend air. How will we pay for our existing massive debt; it never goes down? Clearly, something is dreadfully wrong.

What’s the answer?

Biblical wisdom in Romans 13:8 NLT says “owe nothing to anyone- except your obligation to love one another.” This

teaches, we as a society, are straying far from God’s wisdom and placing our hopes and lives on shaky ground today and saddling future generations with a monstrous Dennis Siracusa problem.

Theoretical evolution and the power of man box us into a corner. There is nowhere for our hope to be directed other than to our imperfect selves. God exists and therefore real hope exists! Well some say, “I never hear from Him, or He’s too far away just observing things? The bible refutes that everywhere.

Isaiah 43:2 says “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” And then Psalm 139 all, places everything in perspective.

Vs1 you know everything about me Vs 4 you know what I’ll say before I say it Vs 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

We all owe God everything but if we really think about it, we give Him little. He is faithful; we aren’t! He created us, provides for us and protects us; is steadfast, never sleeps and is near each of us. According to the whole book of James, the Lord wants to hear from us and He wants us to ask for His help.

We are currently treading in deep debt and social waters and God is right there to help us. Let’s turn to the Lord for solutions; now; He is infinitely creative and all He asks for is our heart.

This week we will celebrate Veterans Day. We will honor all those who selflessly gave of themselves in the service of their country.

When we think of our veterans, we see faithful men and women who love their county, their families, and cherish the country God has given them. Because of that love, they serve without hesitation. As Christians, because of our love for Jesus, we should also desire to live for Jesus every day.

James 2:18 says, “Someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works” (ESV). We know that we are saved by our faith in Jesus Christ apart from anything we can do. As followers of Jesus, our desire should be to always live for Him every single day. We should never have to tell someone that we are followers of Jesus, they should see Jesus Christ in everything we do in life.

Soon, we will celebrate Thanksgiving together. It is easy to gather around the table and offer a short prayer of thanks to God. However, God has given us so much, and blessed us in so many ways. Jesus gave His life on

the cross for us, so that we may have eternal life.

Genuine thanks for what Jesus has done for us, is reflected thorough our actions. We have so many opportunities around us Rev. Trent Rankin to reach people. We may encounter someone who is hungry. We may see someone who is struggling in life. We will encounter many people who need to hear the gospel message of Jesus. This season may we be intentional in our efforts to reach people around us. May this be a season to showcase Jesus everywhere we go.

Our veterans boldly stepped up and bravely served their country. Their gratitude for living in a free nation blessed by God, led them to dedicate themselves to serve. We should always seek opportunities to serve Jesus. This Thanksgiving season, and every season, look around and see all the needs around you. We don’t have to look very far to discover many people in need of Jesus, and struggling in these difficult times. We have much to be thankful for, and we can show that thanks through action. Live your faith, showcase Jesus, and the world will know we belong to Jesus, and we are thankful for everything God has done for us!

Student Virginia Brown says Ramsey is “great!”

Ramsey has some advice of her own for parents of not only gifted children but all students.

“Make sure you open them up to new things,” she said. “Take them to museums, concerts, historical places. Try to spark their curiosity.”

Belmont Central principal Phyllis Whitworth knows Ramsey’s value.

“Naming Mrs. Ramsey as Teacher of the Year is a

well deserved honor,” she said. “She is outstanding and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure all students succeed not just her AIG ones.”

With 30 years under her belt, Ramsey is not far from retirement, but even when that date comes she plans to keep her hand in teaching.

“I will miss the kids,” she confesses, “I would like to come back as a substitute.”

She might also bring back the summer science camp she held for the past nine years in Cramerton.

“There’s plenty to do,” she said.

“I make sure they have work that challenges their giftedness.”

2. Go to the church’s web site, www.queenoftheapostles.org, look for the “Thanksgiving Meal Order Kit” slide and click there.

South Point and East Gaston advance while Cramer falls

By John Wilson John.bannernews@gmail.com

South Point East Gaston, and Stuart Cramer all saw action in the first round of the North Carolina High School football playoffs. South Point and East Gaston were able to pull off wins while Cramer fell.

South Point 41 East Guilford 31 When two evenlymatched teams take the field the difference between winning and losing could come down to how each team responds at a pivotal moment in the game.

The Red Raiders and Wildcats were both faced with critical situations in their first round playoff game. South Point was able to overcome their obstacles while East Guilford could not.

Right from the beginning this game was hard fought.

Midway through the second quarter the Red Raiders were trailing 14-7. While trying to move down the field the South Point offense coughed the ball up.

This mistake was big. If the Wildcats were able to capitalize on the turnover and score a touchdown they would be up 21-7.

Fortunately for Red Raiders fans the South Point defense had other plans.

“We faced a little bit of adversity early,” head coach Adam Hodge said. “We responded and held them to a field goal. We handled the adversity well. A lot of teams fall apart. We didn’t.”

After East Guilford kicked the field goal the Red Raider offense went to work

and soon scored sending both teams to the locker room at half-time with the Wildcats up 17-14.

Having averted a potential disaster the Raiders took the field in the second half and continued to fight.

East Guilford fought as well as both teams went back and forth trying to find an opening.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter the Wildcats punched the ball into the end zone and after the PAT pulled ahead 31-28.

However, the Red Raiders were not deterred.

As the quarter evolved the momentum swiftly shifted South Point’s way. The Red Raiders offense turned on the afterburners with two Tyson Riley touchdown runs.

With the game on the line and time running out the Wildcats found themselves facing their moment of truth.

While the Red Raiders had shown that they could overcome a setback with their second quarter stand, East Guilford was finding that they just didn’t have much in the gas tank anymore.

In the closing minutes the South Point defense stiffened and all East Guilford could do was turn the ball over. Once South Point had pushed out to a 41-31 lead the Wildcats found themselves trapped.

“In the fourth they turned the ball over and we pulled ahead,” Hodge said. “We pulled ahead and kept ahead.”

In reviewing the stats it looked like both offenses put up big numbers.

Overall South Point managed 451 yards of total offense. 414 of those yards came from a highly effective

running game.

Tyson Riley carried the load for Big Red with 36 carries for 372 yards with five touchdowns.

Riley’s performance just can’t be understated. Every time he touched the ball he averaged 10.3 yards a carry.

South Point’s top defensive performers were Will Ross, Ben Lunsford and Shane Wilson.

Ross finish the game with 11 tackles while Lunsford registered nine stops and Wilson finished the evening with eight.

Up next the 16-seeded Red Raiders will head to the mountains to take on the top seeded 10-1 Pisgah Bears of the Mountain Seven 3A Conference.

“Pisgah is big and physical,” Hodge explained. “They will try to run the football.

Whoever is more physical will win. We have to match them.”

The East Gaston Warriors varsity football team held their own in the playoffs last Friday and won their away playoff game against Community School of Davidson by a score of 57-39. The Warriors are having their best season in many years. Keep up the good work.

Photo by Jennifer Hall

East Gaston 57 School of Davidson 39 Going into this game Warriors head coach JT Postell thought his team could match up well against the Spartans.

As this game started to unfold it looked like Postell was right.

While Davidson was able to move the football and score they just could not stop the Warriors ground game.

East Gaston rumbled for 541 yards of rushing offense.

Justin Hill ran for 255 yards and three touchdowns.

When Hill left the field he had 1,818 yards on the year.

That proved to be more See FOOTBALL, Page 13

FOOTBALL From Page 12 than enough to break the East Gaston single season rushing record of 1,714 yards set by Jazz Hopkins in 2014.

While Hill definitely had a good game he wasn’t the only Warrior the post big numbers.

Markel McKinney ran for 114 yards and three touchdowns while Nehemiah Stovall ran for 112 yards with two scores.

Quarterback Trenton Sherrill passed for 62 yards and had a 100.7 QB rating.

Sherrill’s top target was Aiden Cloninger who had two receptions for 43 yards.

This week East Gaston will host the 25th seeded Forest Hills Yellow Jackets.

The 7-4 Yellow Jackets come from the Rocky River 2A/3A. Forest Hills is just coming off of a 27-26 win over the 8th seeded Providence Grove Patriots.

Coach Postell sees a difficult matchup.

“It’s going to be tough,” Postell said of the matchup with Forest Hills. “They are a good team. They have a lot of good players. They have some size and speed.”

The Warriors are coming off their first playoff win in 15 years. Even with that momentum coach Postell knows the road ahead will not be easy.

“When you advance you face a tougher opponent each week,” Postell went on to say.

“The games are going to get tougher each week, but we know that’s how the playoffs are supposed to be.”

West Charlotte 34 Stuart Cramer 10 Stuart Cramer kept it tight for a while but in the end could not hold back the West Charlotte Lions.

Cramer finished the year at 5-6 and worked hard to snag a playoff bracket spot. The Storm can hold their heads high. In 2021 they played some exciting football.

Names of the honorees are engraved on the MLK Monu-

To get the nomination form and award criteria, contact Gaston Together at llee@gastontogether.org. Completed nomination forms must be received no later than 5pm on November 1st. The selection committee composed of former MLK Unity Award Honorees will determine the 2022 recipients.

The award recipients will be notified in mid-late December. The GC3 is a county-wide, non-denominational ministerial association formed in the late 1990’s by Gaston Together.

Current focus areas are Community Pride Building programs, Faith-Based Leadership, Civic Engagement Leadership, Creating a Culture of Wellness and Gaston Vision 2040. Mr. Jason Austell is serving as the 2021 Board Chair.
