Mt. Holly’s new Public Works facility nearly done

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

The new $4.1 million City of Mt. Holly Public Works facility project at 218 Adrian St. is rapidly approaching completion.

The project was approved by the city council on March 27, 2017 and work began on May 30, 2017. The eight acre site and several existing Adrian Mill buildings already there was bought from A&E for $541K. Work on the project is being done by Charlotte-based Miles McClellan Construction- the same firm doing the new MHFD North Station. Milligan Architecture, Inc. is the designer.

A tour of the site last week revealed a story of hard work and good progress despite somewhat trying recent meteorological conditions- in other words cold and snow.

Nonetheless.

“The biggest challenge has been the weather,” says site manager Allen Bodle. “We hope to be finished sometime in March, weather permitting.”

The crown jewel of the job is the new $2.6 million, 8K sq. ft., administrative building. Built of brick with plenty of large windows to give its interior a light and airy ambiance, the structure's interior is in the final stages of completion.

“The administrative building offices will house several departments including streets and solid waste, utilities, building maintenance, and parks and recreation,” said Mt. Holly assistant city manager Miles Braswell. “Everyone will leave the Massey Building and city council will determine its future use.”

Besides offices, the administrative building will also house city documents in a fire-rated room, has a nice employee lounge, conference room, See PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY page 2

Davis Park gets a facelift

By Alan Hodge

Second in a series of four stories remembering influential and pioneering African-American citizens from our area.

By Alan Hodge

alan.bannernews@gmail.com

One of Belmont's oldest and most popular recreational facilities, Davis Park, recently received a major facelift and refitting thanks to a collaborative effort between the City of Belmont and Duke Energy.

Last Wednesday saw the park re-dedicated with a ribbon cutting ceremony and speeches that brought out a variety of city officials as well as Duke Energy representatives.

Davis Park dates back to 1963 and is nestled in the neighborhood next to American Legion Post 144 and First Baptist Church. The park has a playground area and a baseball field across the street.

Time had played heck with the place, especially the playground equipment which was old and in disrepair.

The city decided that due to general wear and tear, as well as vandalism to the slides, Davis Park was long overdue for some love and so the Parks and Rec.

Elsie Grier was pioneering African-American woman alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Adam Tony of the Allen Steam Station and Angie Bittle of the Government and Community Relations Department represented Duke Energy and were asked to cut the ribbon at the Davis Park renovation project event. Also on the front row, from left, are Parks & Recreation Advisory Board member Claudina Ghianni-Toole, City Council members Ryan Schrift and Ron Foulk, Keep Belmont Beautiful Director Judy Closson, Council member Richard Turner and Parks & Recreation Advisory Board member Leanna London. Recreation Director Zip Stowe and Public Works Director David Isenhour are on the second row.

The late Miss Elsie Grier was one of Belmont's most pioneering, persevering, and personable African-American women.

Grier (1917-2010), was born in Gaston County and graduated from Reid High, the school where local African-American students went. She also attended Barber Scotia College and Johnson C. Smith University where she graduated Elsie Grier Cum Laude. She pursued graduate studies at Columbia University, New York, and studied Media/Library Science at Appalachian State University. Grier's 30-year career included time as a teacher, librarian, and basketball coach. Known as “Miss Elsie”, Grier was also a dedicated public servant. She served on the Belmont City Council from 1985 to 1997. She was also mayor Pro Tem for four years and is remembered as a visionary who cared for all citizens.

Grier advocated for Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday to be a paid holiday for full-time City of Belmont employees and it was approved on August 2, 1992. Grier was also active See ELSIE GRIER page 2

PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY from page 1 locker room, and even has shower facilities.

Another structure already on the property will serve as a garage for city vehicles such as trucks and heavy equipment.

That building is being renovated. Connected to the garage is a place for storage that's also getting a major face lift and up-fitting. Behind both of these buildings is a larger paved area including a concrete section where materials such as sand and mulch will be stockpiled. Another place will allow vehicles to be washed down. A covered loading dock rounds out the scene.

The largest building on site is the 70K sq.ft.

Adrian Mill. Next to it is a smaller warehouse.

“Their use has yet to be determined,” Braswell said. “They are being held in reserve.”

Overall, the Public Works project is a good deal all the way around.

“This project consolidates three facilities into one,” Braswell said. “It is a more efficient operation and gives the taxpayers more value for their dollars. It is a better work environment for the employees. It's a win-win for everyone involved.”

ELSIE GRIER from page 1 in the Main St. Revitalization Program that saw downtown Belmont transformed into its current charming persona.

Grier was a founding member of the Gaston County Organization for Community Concerns, Inc., and Key to Miracles Senior Citizens Group of Gaston County. She was an active member of Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church for over 70 years where she served as Young Adult Sunday School teacher and director of Chritian Education. In 1954, she organized and was a charter member of Gaston County Baptist Association along with her mother Jane Davis-Grier and sister Marie Briggs.

Grier was the recipient of many awards including the North Carolina Human Relations Commission Citizen's Award, the Family Advocate of the Year Award, the Gaston County Baptist Association Award, the Humanitarian Award, and the Gaston County Concerned Citizen's Award. She was also one of the first inductees and recipients of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award.

In 2015, Grier was recog-

nized during Belmont's annual Juneteenth event by having the Stowe Park Pavilion officially dedicated in her honor.

Lists of accolades and accomplishments are one thing, but Grier's impact on folks she knew personally really reveal her personality. At the time of the pavilion dedication, Rebecca Brown, 83, of Belmont recalled Grier and her influence.

“I knew her all my life,” Brown said. “My momma let her name me. Elsie was a mentor and starting guiding me when I was young. She was smart, respectful, and always doing for others.”

Current Belmont city council member Martha Stowe says Grier was a powerful influence on her.

“She and I rode together to many community and civic events in the 90’s . since she , Kevin (Loftin), and Sam (Stowe) chair of the zoning board, were the major catalysts to get the Main St. revitalization going we talked many times about the importance of that for the future of the town. She was my mentor with regard to considering running for city council. In addition to the pros and cons my favorite memory is the time I asked if I could put a sign in her yard.

DAVIS PARK from page 1 Dept. led by Zip Stowe and Public Works crews headed up by David Isenhour swung into action.

The ensuing $150,000 in repairs and replacement included an upgraded concession stand, restrooms and press box at the baseball field, a new backstop, additional handicap parking, additional parking spaces next to the baseball field, upgraded playground equipment, new poly boarder around the entire playground, an updated sandbox, upgraded rubberized mulch and a new side walk. The new playground play unit cost $13,000. An additional $10,000 was spent to replace the wood mulch with upgraded and environmentally sustainable rubber mulch. The new play unit replaced the older unit that had been on the site since the early 2000’s. This new play unit adds additional features to the playground for children

5 – 12 years old including a wedge climber, ring climber and wave slide as well as meeting all ADA requirements.

When employees at Duke Energy's Allen Steam Station got wind of the needs at David Park, they became involved as well.

Last April, Duke employee Adam Toney and his colleagues organized a charity softball game to raise money for park repairs. After all was said and done and the ball bats put away, a total of $6,000 had been chipped in for Davis Park. Toney and Angie Bittle, Duke's Government and Community Relations rep, presented the check to Stowe at the ribbon cutting.

Belmont's downtown oasis, Stowe Park, is currently receiving a renovation as well. That project is slated for completion in March.

The playground equipment in Davis Park was in bad shape before the recent renovation.

Civil War letters are a local family’s treasure

By Alan Hodge Alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Ever since soldiers have gone off to war, letters to and from home have been an important part of the experience.

Now, a local man, Seth Smith, has obtained a number of letters his Civil War ancestor, gggg-grandfather Pvt. Shadrach Jasper Guthrie, and his wife Elizabeth Bates Guthrie, exchanged while Shadrach was serving in Co. H 39th Regiment NC Troops, CSA. The 39th Infantry Regiment was organized at Camp Patton, Asheville, North Carolina, in July 1861 as a five company battalion. In November the unit relocated to "Camp Hill" near Gooch Mountain where it was increased to eight companies. In February 1862 it was ordered to Knoxville, Tennessee, where two more companies were added. Its soldiers were from the counties of Cherokee,

Macon, Jackson, Buncombe, and Clay.

The 39th participated in the Cumberland Gap operations and engaged in the Battle of Perryville. Assigned to Walthall's, McNair's, and Reynold's Brigade, it served with the Army of Tennessee and fought from Murfreesboro (Stones River) to Atlanta, and then endured General Hood's winter campaign in Tennessee. (It had fought in the Battle of Stones River and had engaged in the defense of Vicksburg.) In 1865 the Thirty-ninth North Carolina shared in the defense of Mobile.

This regiment lost 2 killed, 36 wounded, and 6 missing at Murfreesboro, and had 10 killed, 90 wounded, and 3 missing at Chickamauga.

Shadrach was one of those killed at Chickamauga on September 19, 1863. Chickamauga was a Confederate victory and

the 39th saw plenty of action.

“To my knowledge, these are the last known communications between Shadrach and Elisabeth prior to his death,” Smith said.

The letters are a window on the type of life Shadrach and his fellow soldiers experienced during the war, as well as heartfelt longing for his wife and home.

Excerpts include passages such as“What peaceful hours we have enjoyed, how sweet there memory still, but they have left an aching void the world can never fill. Yes, we can think of those peaceful hours, but cannot see them now. Though I hope the time is not far distant, when peace will come and break up this great war.

“I hope not, but if we do have to meet the yankees in battle, I hope and trust the Lord will be a shield unto me and shield me from all heart, harm or dangers.

For it is in him that I put all my trust and dependence.”

“I will now tell you something about times here. I can say to you that times is hard here. I

can eat all of the rations that we get for one day, at one meal and then not have any to much. Dear wife, I want you to write me as often as you can. It gives me great satisfaction to hear from you and the children. As to what you wrote in your letter about the yankees killing and taking all of the men at Vicksburg prisoners, I reckon is false, for it is not more than fifty miles from here to Vicksburg and I hear nothing of that kind here. I can hear cannons very plain at Vicksburg.”

The way that Smith acquired the letters is a story in itself.

“I was researching my family genealogy and posted some information on the internet,” Smith said. “A 70-year-old cousin in Seattle whom I had never met saw it and emailed me asking what my connection to Shadrach was. He told me about the letters and asked if I would be interested in having them. He said he wanted them to 'go home' to North Carolina.”

Smith recalled how he felt when the letters arrived.

“My hands were shaking

Shirley Rankin McAdenville, NC- Shirley Smith Rankin of McAdenville passed away on Monday, January 22, 2018.

Born in Stanley on November 14, 1937 to the late Price and Nell Mullis Smith, she was a 1956 graduate of Stanley High School and completed her education with a business degree from Kings College in 1959.

She married Steven Groves Rankin in 1961 and helped him form Steve Rankin Photography in 1970, a company they operated for 35 years.

In 1989, she began working as Executive Assistant to Daniel J. Stowe. This gave her an opportunity to excel in two areas she loved, organization and nature. She was an integral part of helping him bring his vision to fruition, Daniel J. Stowe Botanical Gardens. She retired after his death in 2006.

Shirley threw herself into all she did, most notably the McAdenville Woman’s Club, which she joined in 1962. She served in all capacities of the club.

Her accolades are too numerous to list. However, she was most proud of being named McAdenville Woman of the Year in 1968, her time on the McAdenville Town Council, and the formation of the Shirley Rankin Service Award through the McAdenville woman’s Club in 1992.

This award was created to honor Shirley, who was a good example of someone who is not only active in the community but who has a caring spirit for McAdenville. The award is to be an inspiration to the members and to the ones who have and will receive the award.

Lastly, she was an active member of First Presbyterian Church in Belmont, serving as an Elder and on numerous committees over 25 years.

In addition to her parents,

I will never forget the days I witnessed the birth of my children. Seeing the miracle of life unfold as my children breathed the breath of life for the first time was emotional. I clearly experienced the power and glory of God in those moments. Have you had an opportunity where you really experienced God in all of His glory? As Christians, before we will ever impact our world for God, we will need to really encounter God, and develop a deeper relationship with Him. Mark 9:1-9 records the time Jesus took Peter, James, and John up on a mountainside.

While there, the Bible says Jesus was transfigured. He was changed before them. Jesus while on earth was both all man, and all God. As a man, He experienced everything people go through each day. On the mountainside that day, Jesus showcased His glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus stood before His disciples in all of His glory as God. His clothes shined white as snow. Moses and Elijah also joined Him on the mountainside.

Peter, being afraid, began to talk without thinking. At that moment, a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice spoke. The voice of God the Father said, “This is my beloved Son. Hear Him!” (Mark 9:7, NKJV). After the voice sounded, Jesus appeared alone to them again, returning to His earthly state.

Surely that day, Peter, James, and John experienced God. Just the same, we too need to experience God. How do we do that? We must hear Him. God had to remind Peter to listen to Jesus. In the midst of our loud, distracting world, we must stop and hear God. How often even in prayer, do we do all of

the talking, without allowing God to speak to our hearts?

We also need to see God. We may not live on earth with Jesus as did Peter, James, and John, yet we can experi- Rev. Trent Rankin ence Him through Salvation Church His creation. Even in Gastonia, NC a sinful, evil world, salvationchurchnc.org there is beauty all salvationchurchnc@gmail.com around us. Whether it is the birth of a child, a sunset, or the stars in the sky, we see God through many things. We ourselves are created in His image. We need to understand God much deeper than our own concept of Him. Peter, James, and John knew Jesus as a man, a carpenter, as they walked with Him every day. On the mountainside that day their understanding was shattered, as they saw him as God. We must encounter Jesus beyond our concept of Him. He is more than something we conceive in our minds, He reveals Himself to us through the Bible.

Once we really encounter God in a true, deep way, we will never be the same. I imagine Peter, James, and John never forgot that day.

When we really see Jesus, we are never the same. Remember the time you received Jesus in your heart. I guarantee you that you are not the same person you were. We are new creatures in Christ. Have you experienced God in your life? Have you encountered Him today?

This week, look, listen, and see Jesus in all of His glory. You will never be the same!

Belmont Rowing Center acquires land During the last week of December, Belmont Rowing Center (BRC) closed on the purchase of 13.6 acres of vacant land just a short distance down river from its current location on River Drive. This property has over 2,000 linear feet of waterfront and is the perfect site for a regional rowing center.

This opportunity became a reality through the hard work and tenacity of Cindy White and a handful of similarly dedicated rowing enthusiasts and supporters, including Byron “Doc” Walthall, Tim Johnston, Peter Nixon, Julie Bingol, Kathy Roush, Stacey Bhalla, Barry Tomlinson and Steve

Schreiner. Funding for the purchase was provided entirely through loans from rowers who have a shared commitment to ensure that rowing is firmly established in this region. BRC is thrilled and excited to use this investment as a jumpstart for the creation of that legacy.

BRC donated 3 acres of the parcel at the end of the peninsula to the City of Belmont for the creation of a public rowing and paddling park, which will benefit not only rowers but also kayakers, paddle boarders and other paddle sports enthusiasts across the region. Belmont agreed to partner with BRC on the park by contributing the

funds previously earmarked for the rowing and paddling dock in the Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park to this alternative site. On the remaining 10 acres BRC will build a boathouse and other desired amenities.

It will take up to a year or more to obtain a FERC license to install the docks. BRC cannot begin work on the waterfront improvements until the FERC license is granted, but can do some site clearing for road access and begin fundraising for the dock and boat storage.

For more information and fundraising details email BRC president Jude Starrett at dockrock2@gmail.com.

Elements of Empowerment, Inc., in partnership with Gaston Arts Council and Gaston County Public Library, has launched a new program.

Cultural Readings & Rhythms From The Rocker is a free program to foster cultural awareness, acceptance, and preservation through the sharing of literature and music from a culturally inspired, custom-painted rocking chair.

The program is a series of five monthly reading events held at branches of the Gaston County Public Library.

The first program was held at the Belmont Branch (pictured). Remaining program dates are: Ferguson Branch - February 10, 2018; Main Library - March 10, 2018; Mt. Holly Branch - April 14, 2018; Belmont Branch - May 12, 2018; All programs begin at 11:00 am.

The culturally inspired, custom-painted rocking chair will be the storytelling platform at all events. Elements of Empowerment, Inc. enlisted artist Catherine Courtlandt McElvane to paint the chair. Cultural Readings & Rhythms is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Local practices earn national recognition for patient-centered care The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has announced 52 practices in North Carolina earned NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Recognition for using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and long term relationships with patients and family members.

Local practices include: Lincoln Internal Medicine PA; CLECO - Kings Mountain Medical Center; Piedmont Adult & Pediatric Medicine Associates.

“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home

Recognition raises the bar in defining highquality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care that is focused on patients,” said NCQA President, Margaret E. O’Kane. “By earning recognition, these practices show they have the tools, systems and resources to provide their patients with the right care, at the right time.”

The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home model of primary care combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients’ experience of care and reduce costs.

Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians. Each patient’s care is overseen by a clinician-led care team that coordinates treatment across the health care system. Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs, and can improve patients’ and providers’ experience of care.

These practices demonstrated the ability to meet key NCQA requirements, embodying characteristics of the medical home. NCQA standards align with the Joint Principles of the Patient-Cen-

tered Medical Home established by the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Osteopathic Association.

NCQA’s program is the most widely-adopted PCMH model in the country. One in six eligible physicians in the United States practices in an NCQA-Recognized PCMH. To find clinicians and their practices with NCQA PCMH Recognition, visit http://recognition.ncqa.org.

Cramer basketball poised to make some noise

by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Last week the Stuart Cramer High guys and gals basketball teams upped their game. Both programs have won three of their last four outings. Both squads are regrouping after some early conference schedule stumbles.

Right now the men are sitting at .500 with a 9-9 record.

The Storm is also 5-5 in Big South Conference play.

After opening 2018 by losing 3 of their first 4 games the Storm has battled back.

“We are in a good spot,” head coach Brad Sloan said.

“Three of the four teams ahead of us are in the next couple of weeks. We’ve played them close the last time around.”

Earlier this year the Storm lost to North Gaston by 3, Huss by 7, and Ashbrook by 11. Since that time Cramer has done a lot to improve.

One thing Cramer has done better at is finding a way to get things done in tight games.

“We’re more mature,” Sloan said. “We are learning how to close out games. We had four games that were decided by 3 points or less.”

Playing four solid periods of basketball is what Cramer will need to do if they want this current upswing to continue.

“Given those opportunities again we may come out on the right end.” Sloan added.

There is no doubt Cramer is poised to make a move.

In their last four games the Storm has a Beat Burns, Crest and Forestview.

Winning the conference may be a lot to ask, but securing a solid playoff spot is well within Cramer’s reach.

Cramer’s last few regular season games include match ups against North Gaston, Huss, Ashbrook and Forestview. All teams the Storm has played tight.

The next few weeks will be interesting.

As for the Lady Storm, things are looking better for them as well. Cramer is sitting at 10-8 overall and 4-6 in conference play.

They have beaten Burns 58-49, Crest Stuart Cramer’s #14 Mackenzie Koch takes a shot in Tuesday’s 48-34, and Kings Mountain game against Crest.

55-49. All three of which are conference opponents.

Head coach Carey Pohlman has to be pleased with the way his squad is playing now.

The current level of performance is in stark contrast to how things looked when Cramer opened up conference play last month.

“We were 1-6 in the first half,” Pohlman said. “I wasn’t pleased with that.”

In conference play you face everyone in your league twice. One game is at home game, the one is away.

In the last few weeks Cramer has played a lot better in the conference re-matches.

“We won our first three in the second time around,” Pohlman added.

John Griffin #21 puts back an offensive rebound for 2 points against Crest.

Thursday, February 1, 2018 One of the things that has hurt Cramer this year has been a lack of experience.

From Page 10 “We need to gain experience,” Pohlman went on to say. “We are young off the bench.”

Of the 12th spot on the roster half are filled by underclassmen.

“Five seniors one junior,” Pohlman noted. “The rest are freshmen, and one sophomore.”

A productive bench is essential in maintaining momentum.

Cramer has some excellent starters led by senior Haley Bourhill, and junior Carley Womack.

The starters just needed some help.

Luckily for Cramer as the season rolled on the younger players started to get that valuable court time.

That new-found experience is now paying off.

“Some of the girls are coming into their own coming off the bench,” Pohlman added. “We’re just getting better overall.”

The Cramer ladies won’t be able to win the conference this year, but they should be able to make things tough for a lot of other teams.

While doing that they may well secure a playoff spot for themselves.

Both of Cramer’s basketball teams are in a position to determine their own destiny.

If both squads play at their current levels there may well be basketball in Cramerton this March.

“Courtney Carey is one of the most impressive individuals ever to walk into my office and interview for a coaching position,” Miss added. “Her passion for dance, her established relationships with influencers throughout the Dance world, and, most importantly, her articulation of a compelling desire to assist students in their formation and development spiritually, academically, and athletically established her as the ideal individual to lead our program.”

Carey earned numerous Title and Overall awards as a group and solo dancer at national competitions throughout the country and once posted the highest score of the competition as a solo dancer.

“I feel extremely honored to receive the appointment as the Head Dance Coach at Belmont Abbey College,” Carey said. “I would like to thank Abbot Placid, President

Thierfelder and Stephen Miss for selecting me to begin the program. Belmont Abbey has served me with a rich academic education. Now, Courtney Carey I get to share my talent and passion for dance by beginning and building a competitive dance team at the college. I have been blessed with so many opportunities to train with world-renowned choreographers and dance teachers and am now able to share my knowledge and skills with our dance team athletes. I look forward to mentoring the dancers to become leaders both on and off the dance floor.”

Red Raiders fend off East Gaston for 43-41 OT win

by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com Once again the basketball match up pitting South Point against East Gaston lived up to its billing. The Red Raiders and Warriors battled into overtime before South Point came away with a tough 43-41 win.

The game featured a dominating first-half performance by the Red Raiders.

On the other hand the Warriors delivered an equally impressive second half performance.

South Point head coach Kody Kubbs invoked a bit of Charles Dickens when he described how the game unfolded.

“It was a tale of two halfs,” Kubbs explained. “We were really strong in the first half. We dictated the play of the first half. East Gaston dictated the second half.”

The Red Raiders totally dominated EG in the first half.

South Point outscored the Warriors 14-5 in the 1st period, and 10-0 in the 2nd.

“In the first half it was about defense,” Kubbs said. “We forced them to shoot the shots we wanted them to shoot.”

Armed with a 24- 5 halftime lead it would have been fair to say that the Warriors were done.

These Belmont Parks and Rec youth basketball 3-4 instructional team “Celtics” members are coached by Chase Ensley who teaches the kids the Learning the FUNdamentals. For more info on programming at the Belmont Parks and Recreation Dept, contact the office at 704-825-8191.

Of course that was far from the truth.

When East Gaston took the court after the break they turned the tables on their longtime rivals.

The Warriors came out hard. They outscored the Red Raiders 15-7 in the third, and 19-8 in the fourth period.

“In the second they got every shot they wanted,” Kubbs said of East Gaston second-half performance. “Not only that they made every shot they wanted.”

That comeback tied the game up at 39-39.

It would all be settled in overtime.

In OT neither side dominated offensively. The edge ended up going to South Point when Anthony Little sunk a 3-pointer with under a minute to go. That shot proved to be enough.

Little would go on to have 11 points and seven rebounds.

Other top performers for South Point were Charles Cason and Blake Zieske.

Cason had 10 points and 17 rebounds. Zieske had 10 points as well.

Cason’s rebound performance was nothing short of amazing.

“He had a monster game on the boards,” Kubbs said of Cason’s effort.

Caleb Bridgewater was East Gaston’s top scorer with 17
