Belmont council recognizes teacher Bobby Cavnar By Alan Hodge
The Belmont city council recently recognized South Point High's award-winning English teacher Bobbie Cavnar for his dedication to the school and students. “We are very lucky to have a teacher like him at South Point,” said mayor Charles Martin. Cavnar, is a native of Florida who earned a bachelor’s degree in English Education in 1999 from Florida State University and a master’s degree in English in 2012 from UNC-Charlotte. He taught high school English and Journalism at Charles W. Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Fla., and has been at South Point since 2003. At the council meeting he was presented with a City of Belmont proclamation citing some of his accolades and thanking him for his service to school and community. Cavnar is beloved at South Point. The student body voted him the South Point High School Most Influential Educator in 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, and 2013. He was named the South Point High School Teacher of the Year in 2014 and Educator of the Year for Gaston County Schools in 2015. He was named North Carolina Teacher Award winning South Point teacher Bobbie Cavnar was given a pat on the back at last week’s Belmont of the Year in April 2016, becoming only city council meeting.

City of Belmont endorses school bonds By Alan Hodge
The City of Belmont issued a proclamation at last week's council meeting supporting the upcoming May 8 primary referendum for the $250 million, Gaston County school bond issue. The Gaston County Board of Education has identified over $650 million worth of school facility needs that need quick attention. The school bond referendum on the May 8 ballot will request authority to issue $250 million in new school bonds. The debt service for repaying the proposed 2018 school bonds will add an additional ten and one quarter cents over the next five years to the county's existing ad valorem tax rate, unless an additional one-quarter cent local sales and use tax is approved. The one-quarter cent local sales and use tax would be used for school bonds and other edualan.bannernews@gmail.com
cational capital needs. The tax could generate approximately $6 million in additional revenues above the current property tax receipts per year helping to reduce the tax burden on homeowners while providing for the educational needs of the children of Gaston County and meeting the demands for new classroom space, classroom improvements and other critical school infrastructure needs. The sales tax will not apply to groceries and gasoline. Last Monday's meeting also saw the council approve a resolution adopting an updated version of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. The draft document is available for review on the city’s website, at City Hall, and the Belmont City Library. The city began the update of its 2007 Comprehensive Land Use Plan in December, 2016.

time traveling the state and country as a proponent for teachers, students, and public schools, speaking to educators, elected officials, community leaders, and others. He also served as an adviser to the North Carolina State Board of Education and the State Superintendent’s Advisory Council. Cavnar was also named the NEA Foundation’s 2018 NEA Member Benefits Award for Teaching Excellence. Cavnar, emphasized the importance of public education in his acceptance speech at the NEA presentation event in Washington, D.C. “Many of our great artists, thinkers, and inventors were born into poverty and were given the opportunity to let their genius show,” said Cavnar. “That’s how a public education equalizes life.” In addition to the Belmont proclamation, Mayor Martin also presented Cavnar with a key to the city- “I've always wanted one of those, it's a childhood dream come true,” Cavnar said of the key- as well as a framed photo of the original Belmont Central School and a copy of the book “Between Two Rivers” that traces the history of Belmont. As always, Cavnar was gracious and humble in accepting the council honors. “I've lived in other places but Belmont is my home and I'm not going anywhere else,” he said. “I am also proud to send my kids to school here. I will keep working hard for Belmont.”
Belmont, Mt. Holly hire community events and public relations staff By Alan Hodge
The City of Belmont puts on a number of public events each year and the list, as well as the number of folks who participate, is growing. Recognizing that fact, the city has hired Cassidy Lackey to tackle the challenging job of organizing and staging the shows and festivities. She began her new role two weeks ago. Lackey grew up in Hickory and graduated East Burke High. She went on to earn degrees from High Point University and the College of Charleston. Before accepting the Belmont community events directorship, she worked for a Hickory attorney as well as the Iredell County court system. She and her husband moved to Belmont from Cornelius back in November 2017. “We started looking at towns in the area and decided on Belmont,” she said. “We bought a house and love it. We are here to stay.” Her Belmont job will keep her busy, very busy, with an eclectic blend of tasks. “I will be in charge of the logistics for all the festivals and other events,” Lackey said. “That will involve a number of things including signing up venalan.bannernews@gmail.com

She is catching on real quick and I feel will do a great job. We are glad to have her because she will bring new ideas to the table.” In Mt. Holly, Mary Blomquist Smith has been hired by the city as public relations consultant. Smith is also a local technology coach and social media specialist.

SCHOOL BONDS from page 1 Land Use Plan is a guide for how Belmont should manage growth and land use change over the next twenty years. It contains a vision statement, guiding principles, a future land use map, goals, action statements, and a detailed implementation element that together provide a blueprint for citizens, developers, property owners, city staff, boards, and city council. After a year-long series of public workshops and stakeholders meetings, under the guidance of a steering committee, the draft plan was presented to the Planning & Zoning Board at its March 20, 2018 meeting for consideration and a recommendation to the City Council for adoption. The Planning & Zoning Board recommends approval of the plan with some modifications that include: minor editing, adding a map of the Build A Better Boulevard study area, and identifying the lead agencies for implementation actions and projects. The plan update includes several changes including a new new vision statement, guiding principles, and comprehensive plan goals. The Community Foundation of Gaston County also paid a visit to last Monday's Belmont city council meeting and handed out a number of checks.

Keeping kids healthy, active and engaged this summer The Y wants to ensure all kids in Gaston County awaken their summer imaginations through healthy eating habits and physical activity. Because when a child is happy, healthy, motivated and excited something amazing is inevitably going to result. As children grow and reach their true potential, they can accomplish great things. That’s why, on April 21, the Y is hosting Healthy Kids Day®, a chance to help ensure families have the tools they need to help kids stay active and engaged all summer long. The annual event is a nationwide-initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids and families. When a child is healthy, happy, motivated and excited, amazing things are bound to happen! Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days but instead, focus on physical and mental play. Across the nation nearly 1.2 million participants will partake in games, arts and crafts and more. At the Gaston County Family YMCA families and children will participate in activities to motivate and teach families how to develop a healthy routine at home. In celebration of YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, the Y offers the following tips to help families develop healthy habits: High Five the Fruits and Veggies – Make sure kids get at least five servings a day, the minimum number nutritionists recommend to maintain healthy childhood development. And to keep kids’ taste buds evolving, have everyone in the family try at least one bite of a new fruit or vegetable at least once a month. Read Together – The summer is a great time to enjoy books with summer program participants—and 30 minutes a day goes a long way! Take trips to the local library or create a family reading challenge to see who can log the most minutes of reading. Encourage youth to create their own stories as well. Get Moving! – Activities that require movement also help kids flex their mental muscle. Use materials in unique ways: ask youth to build models, manipulate tools or develop their own theatrical scenes. Play Together – Play may be the best way to prevent childhood obesity. By putting more play into your family’s day, you will soon find yourself getting the activity that will have your family feeling energized and strong. Make sleep a priority – Doctors recommend 10-12 hours of sleep a day for children ages 5-12 and 7-8 hours per night for adults. Sleep plays a critical role in maintaining our healthy immune system, metabolism, mood, memory, learning and other vital functions. The Y will celebrate Healthy Kids Day throughout the county, including YMCA facilities: Cherryville Family YMCA – 11:00 am class, 1:30 pm class; Pharr Family YMCA – 9:00 – 12:00 pm; Stowe Family YMCA – 12:00 – 2:00 pm; Warlick Family YMCA – 11:00 – 1:00 pm.

Tri-County Animal Rescue
PET OF THE WEEK
The Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week is Jolene. Jolene is a 1½ year old American Pit Bull Terrier. She has a beautiful coat of blue and white. Jolene weighs about 50 pounds and should not get any bigger as long as she gets her exercise. The short coat is shiny and soft to the touch. She requires little grooming since the coat is easy to keep clean with the occasional bath. Brushing with a stiff brush and wiping down with a cloth will maintain the coat's shine. Jolene is spayed, current on vaccines and micro-chipped. This breed loves people and has no idea that their size is something of a deterrent to being a lap dog. Confident and keenly aware of their surroundings, they are watchdogs in that they may alert you to the presence of strangers, but that's primarily because they're eager to greet "their" guests. While their love of people makes them failures as guard dogs, their courage is unmatched and they will defend their family with their lives. Like every dog, American Pit Bull Terriers need early socialization — exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences — when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that this breed grows up to be a wellrounded dog. If you are looking for an addition to your family, please come out and meet Jolene this weekend. Other available pets will be at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this Friday from 6-9 pm and Saturday noon to 6 pm. Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties. We are committed to ending pet homelessness in this area and we need your continued support. If you cannot adopt a pet, then support Tri-County in other ways. We need volunteers and donations to continue our mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals.

Banner-News Obituaries Gaston Day presents Shrek the Musical Beatrice Parker Caldwell Gastonia- Beatrice Parker Caldwell, 90, passed away at Covenant Village. She was born July 4, 1927 in Rowan County, a daughter of the late John Harrison Parker Sr. and Vera Davis Parker. In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her husband, Robert Price Caldwell, Sr. and a brother, John H. Parker, Jr. She is survived by her son, Robert P. Caldwell, Jr., and a sister, Betty P. Overcash. Mrs. Caldwell retired from Gaston County Schools and was a member of Ebenezer United Methodist Church. Services were private to the family. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Ebenezer United Methodist Church, 120 Belmont Mt. Holly Road, Belmont, NC 28012 McLean Funeral Directors of Belmont is serving the Caldwell family.
The Gaston Day School players will present Shrek the Musical April 12, 13, 14 at 7:30pm and April 15 at 2:30pm at Pamela Kimbrell Warlick Visual & Performing Arts Center, 2001 Gaston Day School Rd, Gastonia. Ticket Information www.carolinatix.org or gdsshowtickets@gastonday.org. Shrek the Musical is a one-of-a-kind, hilarious fairy tale in which curses are reversed, monsters get the girls, donkeys and dragons find love, and princesses are beautiful in all shapes and sizes. Grumpy, gruff, green ogre Shrek lives alone in his swamp. The world is fearful and mocking of him, and he is more than happy to leave the world to
itself, in turn. Suddenly, his hermit existence is thrown open, when a group of homeless fairy tale characters — Pinocchio, the Gingerbread Man, the Three Little Pigs, and more — burst upon his swamp, seeking refuge from the persecution of the cruel, vertically-challenged Lord Farquaad. Shrek seeks out Farquaad, who offers him a deal: if Shrek rescues the Princess Fiona (whom Farquaad wishes to marry for her crown), then Farquaad will ensure the return of Shrek’s swamp by returning the fairy tale creatures to their homes. In a desperate attempt to regain his swamp’s hermetic piece, Shrek enters the world for the first time in his life. He travels
to Princess Fiona’s prison, rescues her from a fire-breathing dragon, and then – scariest of all – is forced to get to know the princess as he tries to bring her back to evil Farquaad To the determinedly unsocial ogre’s dismay, Fiona is very different from what he expected a princess to be. She may even provoke Shrek’s most novel experience yet: Love. With dazzling sets, whimsical puppetry, high energy dance numbers, and laughs by the minute, Shrek the Musical transforms the contemporary children’s book and popular animated feature film into a stage musical that is sure to entertain and make audiences believers in happy endings for all.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. –Romans 8:18

NC Air National Guard recently accepted first of two C-17 Globemaster III aircrafts
The North Carolina Air National Guard accepted the first two C-17 Globemaster III aircraft Saturday, April 7, at the Charlotte Air National Guard Base. This marks a major point in the unit’s transition into a C-17 Wing. The event was hosted by Maj. Gen. Gregory A. Lusk, the Adjutant General of the North Carolina National Guard. State and local elected officials were also in attendance. For the past 40 years, the N.C. Air National Guard has flown the C-130 Hercules aircraft, utilizing them in its mission to maintain wartime readiness with the ability to mobilize and deploy expeditiously to carry out air support missions and activities in the event of a war or natural disaster. The transition of wing to the C-17 is a cost-effective, total force decision that takes advantage of a superior, multi-platform transportation hub, close to major military installations and seaports. The new, heavy-lift capability will greatly increase North Carolina’s ability to serve its citizens and those in the surrounding states during disaster-response operations, while also increasing our capabilities abroad. U.S. Army Maj. General Gregory A. Lusk (left), North Carolina Adjutant General, presents Col. Michael T. Gerock (right), commander of the 145th Airlift Wing, with a Meritorious Unit award during the C-17 Acceptance Ceremony held at the North Carolina Air National Guard Base, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, April 7.

Since that time, we have been able to address the facility and technology needs at three of our nine branches (Belmont, Bessemer City and Cherryville). A significant portion of the funding for those projects came from 2017 FGCPL Annual Book Sale proceeds, which is why we continue to be grateful for the community’s support of this annual endeavor.,” said Laurel Morris, GCPL Director. “The Friends exist to assist and support the Gaston County Public Library. Seeing the projects already completed this year and the plans for the Mt. Holly Branch next year allows the community to see their support of the Friends and the book sale in action.

Track & Field event held at South Point High School

Local softball progress report... by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com The high school softball season is a little bit past the midway point of the season. So far this year the action has featured some great play and some surprising team performances. Last week, many of the local teams took some time off for spring break. Others played in tournaments. This week everybody will be getting back to their conference schedules and a push for the playoffs. For Stuart Cramer that means duking it out in the Big South 3A. For East Gaston and South Point it means tough battles ahead in the Southwestern 2A. Here is the rundown on where the local softball teams sit;
Stuart Cramer The Storm, coached by Matt Scholz are 9-5 overall. Cramer is 4-4 in the Big South 3A. So far, Cramer has had a very good year. The Storm have gone 4-2 in their last six games.
Cramer has stuck to the fundamentals and has been competitive in conference play. Based on plate appearances, the top Cramer batters are Carley Womack, Kaylie Nelson, Tiara Davis, and Gracie Wright. The top fielder’s are Leslie Hicks and Breanna Anderson. With a 4-4 conference record the Storm still have some work to do. Right now now Cramer is sitting in 5th place. Based on the competition a conference title may not be practical. However, the Storm have room to move up in the conference and make a serious playoff push if they play hard down the stretch. Coach Scholz stressed how important conference games are in comments he made last week. ‘We need to win a few more especially in league play, Scholz stated. “We need to improve our standings.”
This year’s performance is the best turned in by an East Gaston softball team in quite a few years. Coach Kaci Wilcox is building a program that is becoming a competitive force. Right now, East Gaston’s top batters are Ashlyn Presson, Emily Allen, Carleigh Sutherland, and Meagan Vernon. Allen has an amazing .613 batting average. East Gaston’s top fielders are pitcher Peyton Kegley and Alexis Hawkins. The Lady Warriors are in fourth place in the Southwestern 2A. Fourth place is kind of so-so, but in reality the Lady Raiders are easily within striking distance of second place. Taking the conference is mathematically possible, but may be a tough sell. Like Cramer, East Gaston’s best hope is to finish strong in the conference and improve their playoff chances.
South Point East Gaston Right now the Lady Warriors are 7-5 overall, and 4-4 in Southwestern 2A. EG has won four of their last five games.
Things are tough right now for the Lady Raiders. After a promising start to South Point has slipped. The Lady Raiders coached by Leah Brooks are 4-12 overall and 1-8 in Southwestern 2A
Conference play. South Point spent the spring break competing in the Hibriten Easter Tournament. As tough as things are some Lady Raiders have played well. Hana McKee is batting .553 and Maddie Deal is sitting at .459. Right now it looks like South Point is playing for team pride. That phrase playing for pride may bug some, but in Raider Nation pride means a lot. So this team isn’t about to quit. That attitude is reflected in coach Brooks assessment of where the team sits right now. “We aren’t where we would like to be in our conference,” Brooks added. “But we are working hard every day and getting better.” Hopefully, the ladies at South Point will let it fly and be a spoiler for teams that underestimate them. One thing is sure, there is still a ton of softball left to play. What will happen is anyone’s guess at this point. NOTE: Statistics were taken from Maxpreps, the nations top high school sports database.

Cureton’s double earns Abbey baseball win over Lee In the bottom of the extra frame in game two against Lee last week, Luke Cureton’s 22nd double of the year, which leads the country, drove in Colin Rosenbaum to walk off against Lee. The second-ranked Crusaders came back after dropping game one and trailing going into the bottom of the eighth to rally for the win. No. 2 Belmont Abbey is now 29-7 and Lee is 20-16. Both games were scheduled for seven-inning affairs. Lee captured game on in the first inning when Spencer Mossburg was able to barrel a ball over the right-center field wall for a grand slam. The Abbey was never able to match those four runs as they plated three in the third when Rosenbaum recorded and RBI single and layer came around to score with Nick Beinlich on wild pitches. Jeff Thompson took his third loss of the year and Jay Prior recorded his first win of the year. Game two started out in The Abbey’s favor when the Crusaders were able to score a run in the first off Beinlich’s RBI ground ball. Lee answered in the second when Justen Freeman notched an RBI double. Josh Genthe put Belmont Abbey back on top in the bottom
half of the second with his eighth home run of the year. Thomas Yoder added to the lead in the fourth with his eighth homer of the year, giving The Abbey a 3-1 advantage. Lee cut into the lead in the fourth when Tyler Payne worked a bases-loaded walk and the Flames tied it up in the fifth when Mossburg lofted a sac fly into left. Lee took the lead in the eighth, taking advantage of a Crusaders miscue and The Abbey was headed to the bottom of the eighth down to their last three outs. AJ Hendricks worked a long count to open up the frame before lining a single up the middle. Hendricks then advanced to second on a wild pitch and to third on a passed ball. After a groundout and strikeout, Belmont Abbey found themselves one out away from a sweep and three-game losing streak. But Rosenbaum with two strikes, raked a double down the left-field line to tie the game at four. Cureton then showed why he leads the country in doubles and crushed a double of his own into the left-center field gap to score Rosenbaum and win the game.

South Point and Cramer play well in spring tournament By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com The 2018 Gaston County Spring Baseball Tournament is in the books. Over the years the tournament has become a local high school classic. It provides teams that may never face each other in the regular season a chance to test themselves against their county neighbors. This year, eight local high schools from three different conferences signed up with the hopes of winning the tournament and securing county wide bragging rights for the rest of the year. In the championship game the North Gaston Wildcats beat the South Point Red Raiders 3-1. The loss meant the Red Raiders secured the runner-up position in the tournament. Also having a good tournament run was the Stuart Cramer Storm. The Storm finished up third overall. South Point went 2-1 overall in the tournament. In the first game the Red Raiders beat Ashbrook 14-4. The batting highlights of the game featured a Jordan Lathe grand slam homer and a Nolan Cochran two run double. Ethan Shell got the win for the Red Raiders against Ashbrook. Cramer also went 2-1 in tournament play. Cramer’s fist game of the tournament featured a 10-0 shut out of shut out of Highland Tech Rams The Storm win was paced by eight runs in the fifth inning. Cramer pitcher Justin Cooke got the start and the win for Cramer over the Rams. In their second game of the tournament South Point and Cramer went at it. As dramatic backdrop, Cramer has never beaten South Point, and in the early going it was looking like the Storm may get a shot at beating the Red Raiders for the first time. However, it was not to be. The Storm led early, but the Red Raiders were able to come from behind to allow the Red Raiders walked away with a 3-1 win. South Point pitcher Jacob Landis switched roles going from closer to starter for South Point. The junior lefty did the lion’s share of the pitching for South Point. Landis struck out five batters in six innings of play on his way to the win. Cramer’s go to pitcher was Bryson Linkous. Linkous went six innings and threw seven strike outs. In the championship game against North Gaston, South Point took an early 1-0 lead. After that, North Gaston was able to tie it up and then move ahead for the win. Mistakes and lackluster batting prevented South Point from mounting a comeback. In the third-place game the Storm beat Forestview 7-1. For most of the game things didn’t look good for Cramer. The Jaguars led 1-0 all the way into the seventh inning. When things were their bleakest and all the marbles were on the table Cramer struck. In the final inning of play the Storm were able to score one run forcing the game to go into extra innings. In the eighth inning, Cramer unleashed a storm of their own with six unanswered runs. Wesley Hall and Preston Hall both had a pair of hits to lead all Cramer batters. Wesley Hall also turned out to be the winning pitcher when he came in for starter Steven Koch. This week Cramer and South Point will get back to their regular schedule. Cramer plays Crest and Burns this week. South Point will be doubling up on R-S Central, with two games scheduled this week against the Hilltoppers. See more action on page 13
