Stephen Roberts named Belmont Firefighter of the Year 2018 By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.com
Stephen Roberts, 26, has been named as the Belmont Fire Department’s Firefighter of the Year for 2018. Roberts grew up in Mt. Holly, graduated from East Gaston High in June 2010, and the very next month entered the fire academy for professional training. However, even before that he had shown interest in the career. “I was accepted into the fire service at age seventeen in a neighboring volunteer fire department where I got
my start,” he said. Roberts came to work for the Belmont Fire Dept. in 2013 on the B Shift, but he also helps out part time at Mt. Holly Fire Dept., West Mecklenburg Fire Dept., East Gaston Volunteer Fire Dept., and Gaston College. Therefore, he puts in a lot of time at fire stations. “Overall, I work about eighty hours a week,” says Roberts. He added this remark with characteristic humor- “My wife Elizabeth and I were married last year and she makes me come home some-
time.” According to Roberts, the main motivation for his desire to become a firefighter was seeing the assistance his mom got from public service professionals when he was growing up. “My mom was sick and they helped her a lot,” he said. “That inspired me to help people in times of need.” Another reason Roberts says the fire service is attractive to him is the excitement factor. “I’m an engineer and drive the truck,” he said. “I See ROBERTS, Page 2

When it comes to alpacas, warm and fuzzy sums it up By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.com
Sisters Malaysia and Mariah Deas added a splash of patriotic color to Belmont’s Red, White and Blue event in July.
2018 Year in Review part 2 By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.com
The last six months of 2018 brought us hurricanes, lots of news on the arts front, and a big event in Cramerton with the dedication of the Veterans Memorial. The year closed out with a large voter turnout in the mid-term elections and spectacular Christmas light displays not only in McAdenville but other local towns as well. The July 5 BannerNews featured a regional story about the Washburn General Store in Bostic, NC, which was first established in 1831 and is the oldest continuously
operating family business in our state. An especially uplifting article in the July 5 BannerNews revolved around a group of volunteers from the Build America Pi Kappa Phi team who constructed a new garden at Holy Angels in Belmont. The July 12 BannerNews was topped by an article about Kevin Moran, 85, of Belmont and his exhaustive research on the possible burial cloth of Jesus, the Shroud of Turin. Moran is a world-class expert on the cloth and has traveled to Italy several times to see and study the artifact. Another July 12 story gave some press to the
Gaston Braves American Legion baseball team who were having a great season and heading for the playoffs. The July 4th holiday had brought a lot of celebrations to our area and the BannerNews dated the 12th had several pages filled with photos of the patriotic happenings. The lead story in the BannerNews dated July 19 announced the fact that the paper’s parent company, Shelby-based Community First Media, owner Greg Ledford, had given permission for the Belmont Historical Society to take possession of the bound volumes going See REVIEW, Page 7
It’s a pretty safe bet to say that when a lot of folks drive past 1041 Brevard Place Rd. near Iron Station and Stanley, they do a double take at what they see in the field there. The object of interest is an alpaca, actually around twenty of them, and they’re owned by Mike and Shelly Walsh. The Walsh enterprise is called Good Karma Ranch and the purpose is to raise alpacas for their extremely soft and warm fiber as well as promoting the raising and breeding of the unique animals. So, just exactly what is an alpaca? According to the Alpaca Owners Association, the alpaca (vicugña pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. The camels that most people are familiar with are the ones with humps; the dromedary of Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Southern Asia, and the Bactrian camel of China and Tibet. However, there are four other camelids (without humps) that are indigenous to South America: two of them, llamas and alpacas, have been domesticated for thousands of years; whereas the other two varieties, guanacos and vicunas, continue to roam in wild herds today. The alpaca comes in two breed-types: huacaya (pronounced wah-KI-ah) and suri
Mike and Shelly Walsh and one of the 20 or so alpacas they raise on their Good Karma Ranch near Stanley and Iron Station. Incidentally, this animal’s name is GKR Lover’s Liberation. Photo by Alan Hodge (SOO-ree). Huacayas, the more common type and the ones found at Good Karma Ranch, account for about 90% of all alpacas, and have fluffy, crimpy fleece that gives the animals a teddy bear-like appearance. Suris, on the other hand, grow silky, lustrous fleece that drapes gracefully in beautiful pencillocks People often confuse alpacas with llamas. While closely related, llamas and alpacas are distinctly different animals. First, llamas are
much larger, about twice the size of an alpaca, with an average weight of about 250 to 450 pounds, compared to an alpaca whose weight averages 100 to 200 pounds. Llamas are primarily used for packing or for guarding herds of sheep or alpacas, whereas alpacas are primarily raised for their soft and luxurious fleece. Mike estimates there are currently 300,000 alpacas in the United States. See ALPACAS, Page 3

ROBERTS From Page 1 like running calls and seeing the red lights and hearing the sirens. It’s an adrenaline rush.” Being a firefighter has a technical side as well that Roberts works to stay abreast of. “A big challenge is staying current with training on new technology regarding construction of buildings and vehicles,” he said. Roberts has a dry wit that makes him popular at whatever fire station he’s at, but when it comes time for action, he’s all business. Fellow Belmont firefighter Trevor Robinson, who was Belmont Firefighter of the Year 2017 Trevor Robinson. Belmont’s Firefighter of the Year 2017, had this to say about Roberts. “He’s a jokester, but also a very hard worker who takes charge.” Another Belmont colleague, Andrew Harris, characterized Roberts this way. “He goes the extra mile and has a great attitude.” Firefighter Blair Gribble said this. “Stephen is one of those who does a great job keeping the station ready for action.” Belmont Fire Dept,. Division captain Craig Austin also praised Roberts “Stephen is a great employee and is always willing to help others,” Austin said. “He is a self motivator and always willing to help others on emergency scenes and in normal duties at the station.” Finally Robert delivered this thoughtful assessment of himself.

Volunteers needed for veterans oral history project The State Archives and State Library of North Carolina are seeking volunteers to help make their materials more accessible to researchers by transcribing audio files of oral history interviews of North Carolina veterans. The Veterans Oral History Transcription project includes 12 oral history interviews of women veterans provided by the State Archives of North Carolina’s Military Collection Veterans Oral History Program. The program records audio format interviews with military veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces for any military service, engagement, or war, and who were born and/or raised in North Carolina; were stationed for extended time in North Carolina military installations; or have lived in the state for an extended time. The Veterans Oral History Program’s mission is to capture and provide access to the memories and experiences of the state’s military servicemen and servicewomen, preserving them for the benefit of the public and scholars.
Volunteers are invited to visit the project’s transcription guidelines and be a part of the crowdsourcing effort to make women’s military history more accessible to the public. As this initial transcription project progresses,
more oral history interviews may be added to the transcription project. For additional information, email digital. info@ncdcr.gov. Interested in helping? Please visit http://bit.ly/ NCVetsOHTP.

“Parker” guards the alpacas. Parker is a Maremma sheepdog. The breed is native to Italy.
ALPACAS From Page 1 “They originally came here in the 1990s from Peru but are not imported anymore,” he said. How did Mike and Shelly get involved in raising alpacas? “We have twelve acres and wanted to raise something small,” Shelly said. “We began raising the alpacas in late 2009.” The alpacas are super cute, but for the Walshes they are a business venture as well. The main “crop” being their fiber.
“Alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic, super soft, and not scratchy like wool,” said Shelly. In the spring the Walshes have a professional shearer come and “harvest” the fiber. Other folks in our region with alpacas also bring their animals to Good Karma Ranch for the event. “It’s an intense work day,” Shelly says. After the bags of fiber from the Good Karma Ranch herd are collected, Mike and Shelly send a lot of it to a co-
operative in Maine. “We work with them to make products like gloves, socks, scarves and hats,” said Shelly. After the products are shipped back to the ranch, the Walshes sell them at a store right there on the property. The store is also a trophy room of sorts. On the wall are dozens of ribbons, mostly blue, that the Walsh alpacas have won in local and regional shows. Spring is also the time when baby alpacas are born
and the Walshes are looking forward to the arrival of about a half dozen new members to their herd this year. “We want to grow the herd to around thirty animals,” said Shelly. Mike and Shelly both have “day” jobs- he’s in construction and she’s in medical sales- so between their careers and the ranch they stay busy. However, they do have a couple of helpers, their 12 year old son Ryan who is a sixth grade student at East Lincoln Middle School, and a huge, snow white dog named Parker who keeps watch over “his” herd. “Ryan knows how to do all the farm chores which is fantastic,” said Shelly. “Parker is a very good employee.” Overall, Good Karma Ranch is highly interesting and the Walshes welcome visitors. The ranch holds sev-

Low gas prices mean it’s a great time for a winter road trip Edited by Alan Hodge from NCDOT information With the price of gasoline hovering around two dollars a gallon and holiday traffic finally calmed down, now is the time to get out of the house with a quick auto day trip on one of our area’s official North Carolina Scenic Byways. Known as “The Crowders Mountain Drive”, this eightmile jaunt takes motorists by Crowders and Kings mountains in Gaston and Cleveland counties. To begin following the
byway, take Exit 10 from I-85 and follow U.S. 29/74 to the community of Mountain View. Exit onto Sparrow Springs Road (S.R. 1125),where the route begins. Follow Sparrow Springs Road and turn right onto Pinnacle Road (S.R. 1104) as they wind around the base of Crowders and Kings mountains. Crowders Mountain, named for a local settler, is one of the peaks in the Kings Mountain Range. The mountain range is about three miles long, extending from the southern end of Gaston and Cleveland counties in North Carolina into
York County, S.C. The highest peak, called the Pinnacle, marks the northern end of the range. Its weathered granite cap, called a monadnock, stands above the other peaks as a king stands above his people. Continue on Sparrow Springs Road as it veers right into the area around Crowders Mountain State Park. The park showcases the local mountains, which are remnants of the ancient Appalachians. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking or rock climbing in the park. Continue following the byway by turn-

ing right to stay on Sparrow Springs Road for two miles, and then right again onto Pinnacle Road. The first mile is gravel. Formed in 1841, Cleveland County was named for Benjamin Cleveland, a hero at the Battle of Kings Mountain during the Revolutionary War. Kings Mountain National Military Park, located in South Carolina, is the site of that decisive British defeat in 1780. The valley is also known as Sherrars Gap and separates the Pinnacle from the rest of the Kings Mountain Range. Pinnacle Road changes to Lake Montonia Road (S.R. 2292) at the Cleveland/ Gaston County line. Follow this road for about one mile where it intersects with N.C. 161. Turn right onto N.C. 161 North for one-half mile to I-85 where the byway ends. For an interesting side trip, continue into South Carolina to the Kings Mountain National Military Park by turning left onto N.C. 161 South and driving four miles into South Carolina to the park’s access road. Another nearby day trip is the Drovers Road. This byway passes through Hickory Nut Gap, one of two gaps in the Blue Ridge Mountains used by early eastern settlers to reach the beautiful Asheville plateaus. Many farmers drove flocks of market-bound livestock through this gap, giving the byway its name. Though this area has changed considerably during the past century, its beauty still abounds and the paths blazed through this region a century ago are the same avenues of choice today. The byway’s western end begins along U.S. 74 Alternate at the Blue Ridge Parkway, just north of Fairview as the highway works its way through the mountains from Asheville. Traveling south, notice Little Pisgah Mountain (elevation 4,412 feet) on the left. This peak was once known to the Cherokee as Konnatoga Little Pisgah Mountain marks the beginning of the climb up and through Hickory Nut Gap. This gap was once known as Sherrill’s Gap after a historic inn and tavern located
nearby and owned by Bedford Sherrill. The inn, open between 1834 and 1909, was a well-known comfort stop for weary travelers, settlers, drovers and Civil War soldiers. Listed as a National Register Historic Site, the inn is now maintained as a private residence and is visible from the wide curves between Ferguson Mountain and Tater Knob. The hillsides along the byway are covered in stands of mature trees. Descending from the gap, the byway passes into Hickory Nut Gorge. Bearwallow Mountain is on the right. Hickory Nut Creek (also known as the Rocky Broad) parallels the route. Five miles from the beginning of the byway is the quaint village of Gerton, previously known as Pump. As the story goes, the town’s original name came from the frequent practice of thirsty patrons to leave money by a local water pump. Upon their return, they would find a jar of clear potent liquid unique to these hills. The drive through this area offers several craft shops, stores, campgrounds and roadside stands. A popular destination for generations and only about an hour from Gaston and Cleveland counties, the Black Mountain Rag Scenic Byway is full of twists, turns, ups and downs. Along the sharp curves and hairpin turns of N.C. 9 lies the town of Bat Cave, which was aptly named for a nearby cave inhabited by these winged mammals. This portion of the byway is not recommended for recreational vehicles due to sharp curves. Flowing to the right of N.C. 9 the Broad River, which ends at the community of Lake Lure, is joined by Hickory Nut Creek near the intersection of U.S. 64, U.S. 74 and N.C. 9. To visit Lake Lure, turn left and follow U.S. 64/74A/N.C. 9 East. Departing Bat Cave, take U.S. 64 East to Chimney Rock. Chimney Rock is a weathered granite monolith that rises from Chimney Rock Mountain. Motorists may See ROAD TRIP, Page 8

REVIEW From Page 1 back to 1945. BHS president Stan Cromlish was pictured loading the volumes for their trip to the Belmont Abbey College library where they will be conserved for eventual public display at the museum on Catawba St. Another regional article in the July 19 BannerNews brought attention to the Tryon International Equestrian Center’s
went to press and a story about local amateur weatherman Allen Aycoth of Springwood topped that issue. Aycoth kept a keen eye on the weather from his homemade weather broadcast station and sent out alerts when storms approached. A Mt. Holly story in the August 16 BannerNews announced that the city had received a $25k grant for construction of a Veterans Healing Garden. The BannerNews took to the water in the August 23rd
Page 7
our way and the September 20 BannerNews reported on its local impact. We got lots of rain and wind but dodged the devastation that the coastal Carolina region suffered. On the good news front, the September 20 paper welcomed Mt. Holly police chief Don Roper back after he had suffered a stroke on August 13. Roper was recognized by the Mt. Holly city council for his service and recovery. The October 4th edition of the BannerNews was

McAdenville mayor Jim Robinette on the porch of the new Town Hall. upcoming hosting of the FEI World Equestrian Games which were expected to draw 500,000 folks. Stories in the July 26 version of the BannerNews were headlined by news that the long awaited rebuild of First Baptist in Mt. Holly was set to start. The church had been nearly destroyed by a huge fire in 2016 that took 150 firefighters from 16 different departments to control. August kicked off with a front page story in the edition dated the 2nd profiling Cramerton resident 92 year old US Marines veteran Mack Drake and his experiences fighting the Japanese during WWII. Drake was in several huge battles including Iwo Jima and Guam. He was presented with several medals including the Purple Heart, the Silver Star, and two Bronze Stars. Drake also had a sword he liberated from a Japanese officer that had no more use for it as well as a Japanese flag. Another big article in the August 2nd BannerNews looked at local potter Barry Lockman of Dallas and his art. Lockman creates his pottery literally from the ground up using clay he digs himself near Stanley and firing the pieces in a kiln he also constructed. The BannerNews dated August 9 featured its annual coverage of the visit by Journey of Hope bicyclists to Holy Angels where they mingled and had lunch with staff and residents. Another bicycle related article that week took a look at the Belmont Police Department cycle patrol and its need for some new bikes to replace the well worn ones they were currently pedaling. The weather was hot when the August 16 BannerNews
edition. That paper featured a lead story looking at the role the Gaston County Marine Enforcement branch plays in keep boaters and other folks who use the Catawba River and Lake Wylie safe. The August 23rd BannerNews also ran an article paying tribute to former Gaston Schools superintendent Dr. Ed Sadler who had passed away on August 16. August wrapped up with the BannerNews version that came out on the 30th. That paper ran a heartwarming article written by Art Shoemaker profiling the life of Dosi Jonas and his mom Donna. The story looked at Dosi’s birth in Albania, his adoption by Donna, and his baseball career that began as a kid in Stanley and and was continuing as a member of the Gaston Braves American Legion team. September 2018 got going in the BannerNews with an article dated the 6th noting the recent hiring of Phil Boggan as the downtown events director for the City of Belmont. Another story that week gave a nod to Belmont businessman D.J. Toal and his financial contribution that made painting the huge water tank in East Belmont with a distinctive River District logo possible. The Town of McAdenville got some coverage in the September 13 BannerNews. That story was a sneak preview of the remodeling job being done at the former United Methodist Church in the downtown area into a new city hall. Also on the construction news scene, the September 13 paper looked at progress being made to the new greenway in Cramerton. Hurricane Florence headed
topped by an article about the groundbreaking in North Belmont for the new St. Joseph’s Seminary College. That same issue included a regional story about a classic British bike shop near Shelby owned by Rick Clark whose father had started the business back in the 1960s. Big news in the October 11 paper was a front page article about the 100th anniversary of the Belmont Fire Department. A large group of present and former firefighters and their families got together at the station to celebrate the event. That issue of the BannerNews also profiled the efforts by students at Belmont Central Elementary to create a piece of public art for display downtown. The kids made 2,000 colorful ‘flowers’ from empty plastic bottles and installed them on a fence. Art was also the headline for the October 18 BannerNews. The lead story that week revolved around the visit to Mt. Holly of Irish artist Olive Stack who was here to lend her expertise to the upcoming lantern parade planned by Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress for the downtown area. Another story that took flight that week was one announcing approval by the Belmont city council of regulations pertaining to folks keeping chickens in their backyards. The council passed the measure and did not crow afterwards. October came to an end and the BannerNews dated the 25th announced the big news that Belmont would be getting a new middle school. The school will be built on land beside the South Point High campus. The winning bid for the job went to Beam Construction with a $33.5
million price tag. The October 25 paper also spotlighted the Gaston County Art Guild and their recent mover to a new HQ in Mt. Holly. November was a long month and the BannerNews on the first day came out with a feature on father and son Barry and Derek Rumfelt of Belmont and their dual careers in the NCANG. Together they racked up 15,000 flying hours and 68 years of service before retiring. The November 8 BannerNews ran a story on the new GEMS first response vehicle that was stationed at the equally new Mt. Holly Fire Dept. North Station, The vehicle was painted in a dayglo yellow color sure to draw attention on the road. One of the biggest events of the year was the official unveiling of the Cramerton Veterans Memorial and the BannerNews of the 15th was full of photos of the momentous occasion. Hundreds of folks came out to see the statue revealed and give thanks to our veterans past and present. Thanksgiving was just around the corner and the November 21 paper featured a story where senior citizen folks at the East Gaston Adult Day Care Center recalled how they celebrated the holiday back when. Another article that week announced the retirement of Belmont barber Doug Brewer after 73 years of cutting hair. Cramerton got some more positive press in the November 29 edition of the paper with the announcement that Ted Reece had been given the Lifetime Citizen Award 2018 and Rev. David Julen had been named Citizen of the Year 2018. A photo page inside that edition featured lots of cool pictures from the Mt. Holly lantern parade. December brought page after page of Christmas parade pictures to the BannerNews from festive processions in Mt. Holly, Belmont, Cramerton, McAdenville, and Stanley. In addition, the paper of December 6 featured coverage of the Christmas lights going on in McAdenville for the 63rd year. Other stories in the December 2018 versions of the BannerNews included
a report from Pearl Harbor by Stan Cromlish who attended ceremonies there commemorating the December 7, 1941 attack by Japanese planes,
the City of Mt. Holly receiving a Quality of Life Award, the first snow of the season fell, and details of the plan to widen I-85 thorough our area.
WWII veteran Mack Drake is seen with some of his medals and mementoes from his service in the US Marines during WWII.

ROAD TRIP From Page 5 want to take a side trip to Chimney Rock State Park to visit this unique rock formation, which overlooks Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. Hickory Nut Falls, cascading more than 400 feet into the Broad River, adds to the beautiful mountain scenery and have been featured in a number of movies including “Fire Starter,” “Last of the Mohicans” and “A Breed Apart.” The gorge runs southeast from Hickory Nut Gap and
drops 1,800 feet before ending at Lake Lure. The resort community of Lake Lure was established in 1927 and provided the scenery for the movie “Dirty Dancing.” Before crossing Pool Creek, where N.C. 9 and U.S. 64/74A split, notice the historic resort hotel on the right. To continue following the byway, backtrack along U.S. 64 West eight miles to Bat Cave along the winding edge of Lake Lure. In
Bat Cave, follow U.S. 64 toward Hendersonville. Along this six-mile route, enjoy the beautiful masses of mountain laurel and some of North Carolina’s finest apple orchards. This area was settled in 1830. The Black Mountain Rag byway ends at Mills Gap Road.

to serve GCS as Director of Alumni Affairs. God is good.” As Director of Alumni Affairs, Phil will organize events for alums, build a data base to enhance communication and publish two magazines annually with updates on all GCS alums.

Prices fall below $2 per gallon in nine states Most local gas stations were selling their product at or below two dollars a gallon last week. Nearly 20 percent of states are currently enjoying prices below $2.00 per gallon. Nationally, retail averages have dropped 83 of the past 90 days. The national average for regular unleaded gasoline currently sits at $2.30 per gallon, which is six cents less than one week ago, 24 cents less than one month ago and 16 cents less than at the same time last year. Heading into 2019, gaso-
line demand is expected to dwindle during the month of January, an expected change following the busy holiday travel season. At the same time, OPEC will begin production cuts on January 1, with hopes that the shift in global supply will push oil prices higher. The effectiveness of the cuts will likely not be known until later in the first quarter. “All eyes are on OPEC to kick off the year,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “Many are waiting to see if they stick
to their promise to cut crude production by 1.2-million b/d and if the proposed cuts will be enough to restore balance to the market.” Over the past few years, OPEC and partnering countries have demonstrated a strong resolve to comply with proposed cuts in production. It is likely that the cartel will reconvene in April, and if there is a need to further balance global supply and demand, OPEC will likely tweak current production numbers at that meeting.
Over three decades ago, Michael Harlow of Stanley met the love of his life, and now, thanks to a $100,000 lottery prize, he’s taking his wife on an anniversary cruise to celebrate their time together. “It was a whirlwind romance,” Harlow said. “I think most people didn’t think we’d last. We met 33 years ago and have been together ever since.” The Marine veteran plans to take his wife on an eightday Caribbean cruise. “It’s not just a chance to celebrate,” Harlow said. “My wife is battling breast cancer right now, and having something to look forward to will help her get through the chemo treatments. I’ve already called the Carnival Cruise Line and upgraded our rooms to the biggest we can get.” Harlow’s good fortune
started two weeks ago when he stopped by the Circle K on North Chester Street in Gastonia on his way to work and bought a Big Money Playbook.

Meditations Dangers of a divisive spirit I recall an incident that was transformative for me. I was upset with someone who was in spiritual authority over me. Decisions were made from the top, and this person had to make sure we adhered to the changes. Yes, there are times clergy resist change as much as laity. I would complain about my supervisor to anyone who would listen. The grumbling continued until one day a trusted friend took me aside and said, “Angela you are sinning before God.” The statement rocked me to the core. I asked, “What do you mean?” He reminded me of scripture, “I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior.” I Timothy 2:1-3 ESV. My friend reminded me complaining and divisiveness is an affront before God. I never forgot the words shared with me that day. I prayed to God for forgiveness, and I went to my supervisor. He was not aware of my complaints, but was very gracious and said it’s not a problem. I told him I have sinned before God, and you and I ask for forgiveness. Scripture reminds us of the dangers of a divisive spirit. “But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.” Galatians 5:15 ESV. Living in the flesh is living outside of the will of God and his guiding influence. In our local congregations, we see much internal conflict and complaining. When we engage in petty arguments and grumbling ego gets in the way. It is no longer about WHAT is right, but WHO is right. Churches engage in these petty arguments and become spiritually crippled by them because we do not have the holy boldness to address the divisive spirit in our midst. We use the excuse, “Well, that is just Mr. Jones.
He has always been that way.” When we allow the behavior to persist, we do an injustice to Mr. Jones, the congregation and God. I am thankful I had a friend with the Rev. Angela Pleasants holy boldness to come District alongside me and lead Superintendent me down a differ- of Catawba Valley ent path. “Brothers, Methodist Churches if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:1-2 ESV. This is the way a family expresses love. We take responsibility for each other. Those who are spiritually mature should gently help others walk in the Spirit and avoid the path of the flesh. “But I, brothers could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?” I Corinthians 3:1-3 ESV. When we live with a divisive spirit, we are acting like the unbelieving world. As a result, it destroys our witness as children of God. It is our personal responsibility as well as our mutual responsibility to deal with complainers and divisive people. It is imperative that we learn how to live together in community. Jesus is our foundation and everything we say and does stem from our identity in our Savior. We will have to give an account for every word we speak. Let it be words of encouragement seasoned with grace.
New year, fresh start By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
Can you believe we are beginning a new year? It just seems like we began 2018 and now it has come to an end. Your 2018 was probably like mine, full of good times and bad. Perhaps you had some great events like the birth of a child, or great sadness like the lost of a loved one. This past year like most, had ups and downs, but now it is over. We are now in a new year, with new opportunities. As we make resolutions and promises with hopes of a better life this year, what about our relationship with God? Haggai 2:1-9 tells of God’s promise for the future. Israel had been in captivity for seventy years after God allowed them to be conquered by Babylon after years of sin and rebellion. In 538 BC the new Persian king Cyrus, who had conquered the Babylonians, allowed Israel to return home to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple that had been destroyed. Israel returned, built the foundation of the new temple, and

New Year’s Revelation by: Shelton Fisher I saw a post on Facebook towards the end of 2018 that said, “Let me guess… 2019 is going to be your year? You’re cutting out all the drama and aren’t helping anyone?” Of course, I couldn’t help but get a laugh out of it but was also struck by the realization that the only reason that it’s funny is because the punchline hidden in the sarcasm is true. So often during this time of the year do we find ourselves digging deep within that reflection in the mirror, scraping out the “failed” attempts from last year to become better people and looking for ways to start anew. And yes, my befriended kettles, I am also a pot among you. I’ve bought the gym memberships, the trials, the starter kits, and there’s not nary a one that I can say that I have stuck with. This exact time last year, I wasn’t doing so well. If you read my last column then you know that I began a blog about my journey for better mental health and with that also came physical health. In between regular weekly doctor’s visits to try and diagnose anxiety related ailments, I was hitting the gym on a regular basis to train for the upcoming Spartan race in Charlotte. I did everything I could to eat better, stay hydrated, and gain what I was calling “healthy weight”. Things were all well and good until I hit a big snag that ended my training. I remember doing crunches on an ab machine when suddenly, the music in my earbuds began to get drowned out by the miscellaneous sounds of the gym. Between specific conversations among friends, clanking of the dumbbells, and sliding of the machines, there was no escaping the noise. My sense of smell became heightened and there was nothing but the nauseating stench of cleaner in my nose. I began to realize I was in fight or flight mode and flew to the showers as quickly as possible. The shower didn’t help much, but it did however get me cleaned

2018 Belmont Sports Hall of Fame inductee profile... Dr. Wade Hampton Breeland By Stan Cromlish This week’s Belmont Sports Hall of Fame induction spotlight shines on Dr. Wade Hampton Breeland who will join Koren Robinson, Mitch Harris, and Steve Barkley as part of the 2018 Inductee class. The banquet will be held on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, at 7:00 pm in the Family Life Center of Park Street United Methodist Church. On November 3, 1907, a native son of South Carolina was born to the Breeland family in Holly Hill and named after the “Savior of South Carolina,” Wade Hampton. Wade Hampton Breeland lived modestly with his parents and three siblings in Holly Hill where he worked hard in school. In 1924, he graduated from Holly Hill High School as the class valedictorian. As an honors student at the University of South Carolina and Atlanta Southern Dental College (now Emory University), he graduated with a dental degree and an induction in the national dental honor fraternity, Omicron Kappa Upsilon in 1929. The year, 1929, brought plenty of change to the United States because the Great Depression sent many into poverty and due to their limited opportunities for doctors and dentists to make a living wage, small towns had difficulty persuading those newly minted doctors and dentists to relocate. But, Dr. Wade Hampton Breeland was an exception, he willingly relocated to Belmont, North Carolina and began a love affair with the city that became a perfect fit for him. In the boarding house on the corner of Woodrow and Central, he
began a lifelong friendship with Belmont’s new physician, Dr. Roy McDowell. In 1936, Dr. Breeland married Regis Bumgardner and began a family that would include, in time, a son and two daughters. With the growing family, Dr. Breeland became involved in the Belmont School System and helped in many areas including athletics. Even though every family had bills to pay and outgo sometimes exceeded income especially during the Great Depression, Dr. Breeland willingly helped his patients at times without compensation because he wanted them to be free of dental pain. From his arrival in Belmont, Dr. Breeland engaged in every aspect of Belmont life including his church and high school athletics. His active involvement in athletics insured that all football players for Belmont High School and later South Point High School had mouth guards to protect their teeth from those bone-crunching hits associated with rough and tumble football from the ‘30s on up to the early ‘70s. At the end of World War II in 1945, Dr. Breeland established the Dr. Wade H. Breeland Award that recognizes the most outstanding football player, and over the past 73 years, it has become the most prestigious award given at the annual South Point High School Sports Banquet sponsored by the Big Red Booster Club. His dedication to athletics led him to officiate high school and college football and basketball games at the high-
Dr. Wade Breeland est levels. He made friends easily wherever he traveled.
Those friends and colleagues included Al McGuire, Lou Holtz, and any number of young people who sought him out for wisdom and guidance. As a member of the Belmont City Council, the Belmont School Board, other city and county offices, one of Dr. Breeland lasting legacies is that he successfully lobbied the town of Belmont to add fluoridation to the water which reduced the incidence of tooth decay in the city’s residents. He gave freely of his time to the Selective Service board in Belmont, and his service to the
country earned him the Congressional Medal of Merit for his service. In 1969, the Belmont Chamber of Commerce recognized Dr. Breeland for his contributions and dedication to the town with their prestigious Distinguished Citizen award. For a man with Dr. Breeland’s commitment to his city, county, state, and country, it was a well-deserved honor. Dr. Breeland worked throughout his life to make things better not only for Belmont but for the county and state as well. Dr. Breeland passed away at the far too young age of 69 in 1977.
Throughout his life, when asked why he lived his life the way he did, he would say, “Life can be compared to sports. You can sit on the sidelines and be a spectator which is fine to do, or even better, get involved and play the game, which is more rewarding.” He played the game of life at the highest levels, and he was an inspiration to everyone who knew him. Come join Belmont sports fans on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, at 7:00 pm as we celebrate Dr. Wade Breeland and the rest of the inductees

East Gaston uses holiday tournament to build momentum by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Once again this year the East Gaston Warriors went to Lincoln County to participate in the Holiday Blast Basketball Tournament. Each year the annual tournament is held at a different Lincoln County School. This year North Lincoln was the host school. The Warriors started of the tournament slow by losing to North Lincoln. However, EG finished strong beating Stuart Cramer and West Lincoln. As strong as the finish was, the slow start cost the Warriors, and they were only able to place fourth out of seven teams.
In the first game East Gaston faced off against the home team when they took on the North Lincoln Knights. East Gaston stayed competitive but weren’t able to pull it off, losing 59-49. “In the first game we weren’t ready,” head coach Eugene Farrar said. “North Lincoln is well-coached team. They won the tournament.” In the North Lincoln game, East Gaston’s top scorers were Cameron Stackston with 20 points and Aaron Legrand with 11 points. Legrand also let the team and rebounding with 10 boards.
Junior Anthony Davis also had a good night in a support role Davis only scored two points, but finished the game with four rebounds and five assists. In the second game of the tournament, the Warriors faced the Stuart Cramer, a team they were very familiar with. Things went smoother for EG in that game. “We played Stuart Cramer for the third time this year,”

“We played better as a team,” coach Farrar noted. “We had a lot of good stretches instead of a lot of negative stretches.” Chris Harte and Aaron Legrand led all East Gaston scorers with 15 points apiece. Legrand also took care of business under the boards finishing the game with 11 rebounds. While the Warriors may have finished fourth in the tournament, they were able to accomplish a lot. The strong finish has given the Warriors some serious momentum. Momentum that they will need as they get geared up for conference
play. “It ended up turning out well,” coach Farrar went on to say. “We will be able to come back after the break and play Mount Pleasant. Then step into the conference. We should be okay.” East Gaston only has two more non-conference games before they take on the other teams in the Southwestern 2A. East Gaston will travel to Mount Pleasant on January 3rd to take on the Tigers and to North Gaston on January 9th to take on the Wildcats. Orders conference schedule kicks off at Chase on January 11th.
The tone of our free speech by DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Words can heal or words can kill. Words can build up or tear down. They can make people glad or make people mad. We like to be able to use words in America and use them freely. Freedom of speech is our first amendment right. However, we could all work on the tone of our speech. Tone can incite a riot or calm an angry mob. We all know how we like for people to talk to us and we need to utilize our tone preferences in our own communication with others. Media has been pointing the finger at President Trump to tone down his forceful rhetoric. While they have been pointing one finger at him there are three pointing back. CNN and NBC and others have tried to blame the recent bomb attacks and slayings on Trump’s speeches. Sadly, violence and mass shootings have been happening a long time before Trump. National media found what a frenzy could do for their ratings when Nixon exited the White House during Watergate. We never heard about President Kennedy’s escapades or much about President Johnson’s activities, not that anybody cared much what Johnson did. Back then all we saw on the news were journalists report-
ing from gruesome Vietnam battle scenes or marches in Alabama. Today the 24-hour focus of some networks and media outlets has become “do whatever possible to deface our President.” Thus, according to some, the sad and scary man living in a van covered with all kinds of political stickers, who mailed out bombs, was somehow the fault of our President. The sudden mass killing of people worshiping in a Pittsburgh synagogue was blamed on the rhetoric of the President by some media types. Everybody in America needs to accept some responsibility for where we are and what we have become. We like free speech but speech should always be used responsibly. We like the right to bear arms but guns must be kept secure and always used responsibly. Words can be dangerous, and guns can and do kill people. Actually, words are killing us in this country today. I don’t like that our President commended a politician for body slamming someone. I don’t like that our media has not let up for even one day and allowed him try to do his job without harassment. Whatever happened to everyone supporting the person elected because it benefits all of us if our country and those who represent us are successful? Trump has had no choice
but to defend himself using Twitter. Sounds insane. Who would have ever imagined? What frustrates much of today’s media is that Trump does defend himself. He doesn’t take the garbage thrown at him by pundits. He throws it back and that drives them crazy. In the past, most politicians have had to take the jabs and stabs. There was no way for the politician to really amplify his side of the allegation or verbal assault. Today, politicians can talk back and make their own cases without the support of liberal or conservative media. The big problem is that there has been little to no limits on the words by everyone. This has to change, but especially the tone in which language is used. Hate speech of any kind often leads to other violent acts and violent acts are happening more and more. We should try a “tone down” day in America, or maybe even a week, or a month. How could it hurt? Please, all of us, all media, all politicians, journalists, stop the trash talk. Words inflame, incite, enrage, provoke, create hatred, and are killing us in America. The louder we scream and call each other names the more bad things seem to happen. Let’s all remember with freedom of speech that we have volume and tone controls and we need to adjust accordingly.

Farrar added “We play a whole lot better.” The Warriors jumped out to an early first-quarter lead against Cramer and kept the pressure on. East Gaston finished with a 68-47 win. Four players reached double-digits in scoring against Cramer. Brandon Sherrill and Aaron Legrand finished up with 15 points, while Anthony Davis and Cameron Stackston finished the game with 14 points each. In the final game of the tourney the Warriors may have had their most productive game of the year when they rolled over the West Lincoln Rebels 72-35.

AAA Carolinas expects roughly 4.25 million Carolinians to travel by car to their holiday destinations this year. To help keep everyone safe behind the wheel, AAA Carolinas is offering driving tips and information to get your vehicle road trip ready. Getting your Vehicle Road Trip Ready: Consider the phrase “Flower Power” Fuel — Broken fuel pumps and fuel lines, as well as clogged fuel filters and injectors, can leave you stranded just as surely as not topping off the tank at that “last-service-for-100-miles” station. Lights — For better visibility, consider switching to high-intensity halogen headlights and clear up hazed or cloudy headlight lenses. Oil — Motor oil matters, so be sure to purchase a highquality oil that meets the requirements of your vehicle’s manufacturer— it’s cheap insurance. Water — If your car is less than four years old, just check that the under-hood coolant reservoir is topped off (use the same coolant type as is already in the engine, not plain water). Check all hoses for bulges or blisters. Electrical — If your battery is more than four years old, consider replacing it. Headlights that dim or flicker at idle could be an early warning sign. Also look for loose and corroded battery terminals or cable clamps. Rubber — Keep tires rotated, aligned and inflated per your vehicle manufacturer’s specs; change the wiper blades so you’re ready for summer rains; and inspect belts for cracks, glazing and proper tension.

Red Raiders spend the holiday on the road by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
The South point Red Raiders basketball team traveled to Bluffton South Carolina during the holiday break to participate in the Bobcat Classic Basketball Tournament. South Point played three games in South Carolina and went 1- 3. Overall the Red Raiders placed fourth out of eight teams. While things didn’t go as planned on the court the trip was a success. While there are many local tournaments the Red Raiders could have gone to, the purpose of the South Carolina trip was different. The Red Raiders go to Bluffton, which is located on the South Carolina coast near Hilton Head as a team-building project. It’s a chance for teammates to get away from Gaston County and have a real bonding experience. Over the last few years South Point has had mixed results in South Carolina, but each year the team comes back from the trip stronger, closer and more focused. At this year’s tournament the Red Raiders played Lowcountry Leadership High School, Whale Branch, and Marvin Ridge. The Red Raiders beat Lowcountry 75-61, but lost to Whale Branch 76-73 and Marvin Ridge 64-56. Logan Threatt, Blake Turner, and Cam Dyer
proved to be the top scorers throughout the tournament for South Point. Each player scored double digits totals in each matchup. Also proving that they can make an impact were sophomore Ayden Baker and junior Grayson Hansen. Baker finished the Marvin Ridge game with 12 points while Hansen proved that he can be tough under the basket. Hansen finished each game in the tournament among the top rebounders for South Point. From a win-loss perspective things didn’t go as planned for South Point. However, the trip was just as much about building teamwork and camaraderie as it was about winning basketball games. From that perspective the trip was a resounding success. “Things off the court went well,” head coach Cody Kubbs said. “People who didn’t know each other are now more familiar with their teammates. There is now a level of familiarity that was not there before we took the trip. After break South Point has just one more non-conference game. SOuth Point takes on Ashe County on January 3rd. After that the Red Raiders were jump into the Southwestern 2A schedule. South Point’s first conference game will be a January 11th match up against East Rutherford.
Gaston County has third confirmed rabies case in 2018 On Thursday 12/22/2018 at approximately 8:44am the Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement Division received a call from 1400 block of Gaither Road Belmont. The resident identified a sick raccoon that was out in their yard during the day acting sick. The sick raccoon was subsequently killed by the residence’s dog after the initial call. Animal Care and Enforcement Specialists investigated the incident and impounded the raccoon. The raccoon was processed for rabies testing and was sent to the NC Laboratory of Public Health in Raleigh. The official laboratory results were received on December 28, 2018 at 12:00pm. The raccoon tested positive for rabies. The Gaston County Department of Health and Human Services was notified
since the resident and dog live at the residence. The dog that killed the raccoon was current on its rabies vaccination and was seen on 12/28/2018 by a local registered North Carolina Veterinarian to receive a booster. No other animal lives at this residence. Animal Care and Enforcement completed a neighborhood canvass in the area of Gaither Road Belmont to notify the community of the positive rabies result. The Gaston County Police Department Animal Care and Enforcement unit stresses the importance of having a valid rabies vaccination for all of your pet’s health and safety as well as the health and safety of their owners and community. This represents the third confirmed rabies case in Gaston County this year.

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town. The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade. Photo by Alan Hodge working jaws, large and colorful butterflies, and more. The lamps were created

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework. Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation. “I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.” During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society. Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends. “I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress. See LAMP page 2

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about. At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions. The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting. The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered NC Cooperative Extension master gardener Dana suggestions. Harper is a fan of backyard chickens. She’s seen with See CHICKENS page 3 one of her flock. Dana Harper photo

Four arrested at Jail-A-Thon On Saturday, three elected officials and one city employee were arrested on nefarious charges, placed in manacles, and hauled by paddywagon to the ‘Jail House' at Patriots Park during Mountaineer Days. The three elected officials arrested were Mayor Scott Neisler and Council members David Allen and Rodney Gordon. Each had to raise $200 bond within two hours. Due to rowdy behavior, Rodney Gordon had to raise additional bond money. Mayor Neisler implicated Karen Tucker who was subsequently arrested for "Impersonating the City Clerk." Tucker had to raise a $25.00 bond. All funds raised benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum's history education boxes that highlight local history in Kings Mountain schools. Sarah Lunch, Museum Director, and Curator commented,
