Seniors recall old time Thanksgivings By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Thanksgiving is here and for most folks the day will form memories for the future. The clients at the East Gaston Adult Day Care Center in Catawba Heights enjoy a variety of activities during their hours there, and sharing recollections of holidays decades ago is just one of them. Here are the thoughts some of those folks had concerning the Thanksgiving celebrations of their youth. James Mayberry, 62, grew up in Mt. Holly. He says his family always had a very traditional Thanksgiving day. “The whole family would get together,” said Mayberry. “My mother would cook a turkey and dressing. After we ate, everyone would sit around and watch football games on TV.” Mayberry says he has a lot to be thankful for these days too. “I'm thankful for my church, Refuge Church of God in Lake Wylie,” he said. “My grandkids are a blessing to me too. They are three boys. We are looking to keeping our family tradition going this Thanksgiving.” Minnie Pinkney, 83, grew up on a farm in Hamlet, N.C.

“We had a big family, there were twelve of us,” she said. “When it came time to eat Thanksgiving dinner, boy, we had plenty of food! We would eat turkey, ham, macaroni and cheese, beans, cake and pie. When you got done eating you were pumped out!” Pinkney recalled the influx of relatives that joined in the feast. “People came from all over,” she said. “It was a blessed day. Some of those folks are still alive and some have gone on to glory, but I still think back on those days when people got together. We enjoyed each other's company. It was just great.” Today, Pinkney still has a positive attitude. “I'm thankful for being alive,” she said. “Some of the family lives in places like New York but we still get to see each other now and then. There's still a bunch of us.” Elizabeth Forney, 94, still calls Stanley home. “We had a garden and some of the food we had at Thanksgiving came from it,” Forney said. “I had four brothers and sisters and I would help with the cooking. We had turkey, boiled eggs, cake, custard, and tea. We would all sit down and talk about things. It was real nice.” See THANKSGIVING page 2

Belmont's Doug Brewer McAdenville cuts ribbon on new Town Hall hangs up his clippers By Alan Hodge

Belmont's oldest professional barber, Doug Brewer, 91, has hung up his clippers. Brewer retired a few weeks ago and has been taking it easy ever since. Brewer cut hair for 73 years before finally deciding to take a well deserved break. “Now, I'm just enjoying sitting by the fire,” he said. “I'm doing great.” Brewer also has a message for his legions of customers and friends. “I want to tell everyone and their families how much I appreciate all the happiness they have given me all my life,” he said. Brewer grew up on the Aberfoyle Mill village in East Belmont. Both his parents worked in the mill and so did Doug, but his interest turned to barbering when he started work as a 91-year-old Doug Brewer has retired after cutting hair shoeshine boy at Bill Ballard's Bar- after over seven decades.

McAdenville held a ceremony last week officially opening its new Town Hall. Henceforth, town business will be handled in the former First United Methodist Church that has been purchased and renovated for that purpose. The church building was constructed See TOWN HALL page 2 in 1961 and the town paid the Methodist Conference $205,000 for it back in June, 2017. The “old” Town Hall was a rented storefront space of about 1,500 sq. ft. The new hall will boast 4,500 sq. ft. Moving town government into a former church meant a lot of renovations needed to be done. The town set a budget of $477,000 for the work which began in May 2018.

BREWER from page 1

“I would hang out at the barbershop,” Brewer said. “There was a couple of little boys who used to play on the railroad tracks and then they would come in when Bill was at lunch and I would practice cutting their hair.” In 1944, Brewer forged a birth certificate and joined the U.S. Navy. He was only 16 years old. He served on several vessels including the battleship Texas, aircraft carrier Champlain, and for a brief time on a sub. “On the sub I slept in a bunk with a torpedo above and one below me,” Brewer recalled. While he was in the Navy, Brewer honed his haircut skills. “I wasn’t classified as a barber, but could do a pretty good job job at it,” he said. When he returned to Belmont after the war, Brewer looked up Ballard. “Bill said if I went to barber school he would give me a job,” Brewer said. “I went to work for him in 1946.” After a spell at Ballard’ establishment, Brewer opened his own place next to the Park

and Shop grocery store on Wilkinson Blvd. He stayed there until the late 1960s when he came back to Belmont and opened a shop on East Catawba. About six years ago he moved his base of operations to a spot in the rear of Belmont General Store. He closed those doors a few weeks back. Over the course of his career, Brewer has seen many heads- including some famous ones. “I’ve cut the hair of many dignitaries,” Brewer said. Here’s a list of just a few of the Who’s Who of Brewer’s barbering- journalist Edward R. Murrow, and NASCAR drivers Junior Johnson, Joe Weatherly, Curtis Turner, and Fireball Roberts. He also cut the hair of Doug Brewer giving Kelvin Southers his 1st hair cut. J.W.

TOWN HALL

from page 1 The church's hardwood floors have been refinished to a high standard. Much of the church lighting has been retained. This not only saved money, but also adds architectural interest to the décor. The former sanctuary has received a major overhaul. The pulpit area has been converted into a dais where mayor Jim Robinette and other city officials will sit during meetings. A new Audio/ Visual/WiFi system has been installed. A drop down AV screen has been installed for presentations and PowerPoints. Church pews are retained with a seating capacity of over sixty persons. Four of the pews have been shortened to allow wheelchair access. In fact, the whole building is ADA compliant. The stained glass window behind the dais has been retained. The church's other stained glass is currently stored downstairs. Speaking of downstairs, the area that was formerly the pastor's office and Sunday School classrooms will be used as a break room, more storage, and as a place town officials can hold closed session meetings- a big improvement over the previous situation. Overall, the new Town Hall is set up to provide McAdenville with an excellent place to do business for many years to come. “It turned out great,” Robinette said of the renovation. “We have a good place to do business.” Town employee Angie Bradshaw, who meets and greets Town Hall customers who come in to do things like pay water bills, agreed. “We really like the new place,” she said. “Customers have made positive comments about it.”

THANKSGIVING

Alan Hodge - Editor

from page 1

Forney says she's thankful for a lot of things, including her friends at the Adult Day Care. “I enjoy being here and seeing everyone,” she said. “I have a good time. I feel pretty good for my age.” Ray Vanni, 93, retired from the US Army after 40 years of service (1944-1984). He grew up outside of Buffalo, NY, but lives near Stanley now. “We had a small family,” Vanni said. “The only time we ever saw a turkey was at Thanksgiving. To go with it we had all kinds of salads. My mother did the cooking. It was the only time of year when we all got together. After the dinner, we all sat

around and told stories.” Vanni's military career saw him celebrate Thanksgiving in some far-flung places. “I remember one Thanksgiving in Ching Ying, China,” he said. “It was very unusual. We had Chinese food for our meal but no turkey.” Vanni says he's still enjoying his days. “I'm thankful to be able to come here and see my friends,” he said. “It's the next best thing to home.” Joe Moses, 93, is from Belmont. “We had nine people in our family,” Moses said. “Back then my dad raised chickens so I never saw a turkey until I was grown.” Moses fondly recalled the

Thanksgiving dinners he and his family had. “The aunts and uncles would come over,” he said. “We had chicken, rice, and carrots. After the meal we played the piano.” During WWII, Moses was captured by the Germans and spent at least one Thanksgiving as a POW.

“We didn't do anything special that day as I recall,” he said “We ate whatever we had.” That experience still touches Moses. “Freedom is the best thing to be thankful for ,” he said. “Life, liberty, family is everything.” Happy Thanksgiving.

“The Multiplied Wonder All Around Us” This morning I stood in bright sunlight surveying trees I could see in a sweeping glance and I marveled. I love trees; really fell in love with them as a kid visiting the Morton Arboretum outside Chicago. It seemed like there were a gazillion trees there and very thoughtfully someone painstakingly put a name tag on most of them. Being a detailed person, I felt like I was in heaven. This morning I could name most of the tree types on my property but even after living here 10 years, there are many I don’t know yet. FYI- did you know that there are about 1,000 tree species in North America alone and over 3 trillion trees on earth at this moment adding to the oxygen we breathe. That’s about 500 trees making oxygen for each one of us. What other marvels are around us? Yesterday I marveled over a dinosaur book my grandson carried home from the library. First, I was shocked over the variety of those prehistoric creatures. Some were 2 feet long and others had necks reaching five stories into trees for leaves. I was also startled by the ones I’d never heard of. Did you know there were more than 700 types of dinosaurs? I had no idea! We don’t see prehistoric creatures anymore and from the looks of most of them, I’m glad. Still today, we have over 700 types of butterflies emerging each year in North America and over 900 species of birds all spreading themselves around for our enjoyment. Then, besides all of this wonder, just grab a mirror and look at yourself. A friend last week told me about a seven

day period when he had vertigo; chronic dizziness caused by sand sized grains of calcium Dennis Siracusa misbehavSpiritual Gardening ing in his ears. Why all this complexity and variety? Did it accidentally occur or are we captivated by it because of its’ grand design? I choose to believe it is a miraculous grand design. In Psalm 139:14 (NIV) the psalmist writes “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” I agree; you and I are miracles as is all the complex natural variety all around us. God created us and knew and loved us so completely that He braced us up with endless variety to engage our souls and fulfill us. In the psalm above, the writer praises the Lord. Why? Does God need or even require us to praise Him because He needs it? No! We praise the Lord because we need it! Psalm 145:3 (NIV) Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.” In the process of our praising Him, we remember His greatness and He supernaturally reveals Himself in fresh ways that only Christ Followers can understand; all of this so we can navigate a dangerous world wisely and so we have a grand eternity to look forward to.

There are few of us out there that can claim that as children we didn’t personify our toys. We carried them around as if they were our best friends while shopping, eating, sleeping, and so on. For Shelton Fisher many this was a phase that we grew out of, but from time to time we are reminded by small things that humanity is far simpler than we try and make it. Last week I had some things to tend to in Charlotte which forced me to become a road warrior on the battlefront of I-85. The northbound was held at a standstill due to someone getting a ticket and as I sat in a dead stop in the fast lane, I happened to glance to my left. Next to the median there was a black and grey Charlotte Hornets hat, grimy and covered in debris yet still fully in tact despite the elements. I was so close to it, I could tell that it was a rather high-quality hat and was surprised that no one had picked it up in the jam. As I debated whether to open my door or not the line began to move. I had missed my opportunity. “Oh well,” I sighed under my breath. I’m not into sports anyways and know as much about basketball as cavemen knew about fire. I went to Hornets games growing up every so often and had fun however, and I will always represent local teams, restaurants, and such. The day played out just as any other and the following morning, I had yet another trek into Charlotte ahead of me. There was no traffic jam this time and I took the fast lane as I usually do to prevent switching lanes later down the road. Just before the Cox Road exit, my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to scan the median to see if anyone decided to snatch the snapback. My wandering eyes widened in disbelief as I saw the black figure covered in wooden fragments from where a rouge pallet flew off a truck at some point in the day. It was still there, braving the conditions like a survivalist in the wild. I had made my mind up. Once I was done in Charlotte, I was going to see if it was still there. If it was then that little trooper was coming home with me! I was done around noon and made it back to New Hope around 12:30. I was bound and determined to go in for the rescue. I ventured onto the interstate and got in the fast lane. With my target in sight, I turned on my flashers and got into the lane right next to the median. It was the scariest thirty seconds of my life, but I grabbed the hat and made it back to my car safely. The cold and damp fabric was covered in gravel and made my fingers gritty to the touch. Small little round bugs that looked like pebbles had attempted to take refuge inside of it but they took their eviction notice better than expected. We hear a lot about people flipping things. Some guy flips houses for a living or you could take a piece of junk and flip it at consignment. One could even say I flipped my new hat. Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and thinking of loved ones we have and who we miss over wonderful food and drink. I challenge you this year to try a flip of your own. Perhaps you have a friend or loved one you’ve held a grudge with for a while. Why not flip your perspective and start things over? After all, somethings just need a little cleaning up.

Teens Changing Gaston County members revitalize Community Garden Teens Changing Gaston County (TCGC) members spent Saturday, November 3rd, cleaning up and revitalizing the Habitat for Humanity Community Garden on Parkdale Avenue in Gastonia. They spent the morning weeding garden plots, building new garden beds, planting flowers and vegetables, filling plots with fresh soil and spreading mulch. Last year, TCGC member, Shane Fogarty, was awarded a grant for this project from TCGC’s annual grant cycle. TCGC is a student run philanthropy program that gives youth an opportunity to learn about the grant making process, network with nonprofit professionals and socialize with other teens from around the County. The TCGC Board consists of 9th-12th grade students in Gaston County that meet once per month during the school year. After learning more about the process of grants and their impact, the Teen Board accepts grant applications from fellow peers regarding service projects. The teens then evaluate the grant applications and are able to award a total of $5,000 to various projects in the County. As a follow up to awarding the grants, teens will volunteer with the projects awarded to experience their philanthropy on a personal level. The 2018-2019 TCGC Grant Cycle is now open. The grant is an opportunity for youth across Gaston County to receive up to $1,000 for a youth led service project that will have a positive impact in Gaston County. For more information about the Teens Changing Gaston County Program and to apply for the grant please visit The Community Foundation of Gaston County’s website: www.cfgaston.org/TCGC. TCGC photos

Meditations

The Spirit’s power God and I often have conversations about the middle of the night wake up prayer calls. I argue, “God can you not wait till a reasonable hour.” Of course, my argument is a losing battle. During one of those wake-up prayer calls, I was led to pray for a colleague and friend. I did not know any specifics; I just felt an urging from the Holy Spirit to begin praying for God’s divine will. Later that day I sent a prayer card to my friend. It was a week later I heard from him. He said, “I was astonished when I received your prayer card. Let me tell you what was happening. My father just suffered a heart attack at the moment you stated you began praying. My dad pulled through and will need to adjust to a new healthy lifestyle. Thank you for being obedient to the tug of the Spirit on your heart.” What wonders can happen when we allow the Spirit of God to fill us and empower us. Jesus told his disciples, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Acts 1:8a ESV. The Holy Spirit gives the anointing to face daily challenges. He empowers us to be bold witnesses of our faith. The Holy Spirit gives us words to speak as he reveals God’s will to our hearts. Don’t become distracted and settle for poor substitutes to the Spirit’s power. You will not find life and growth in our programs and modern technology, elegant buildings and impressive displays without the presence of the Holy Spirit. EM Bounds in the Necessity of Prayer says, “The Holy Spirit comes as a fire

to dwell in us. If our religion does not set us on fire, it is because we have frozen hearts. God dwells Rev. Angela Pleasants in a flame; the Holy District Ghost descends in Superintendent fire.” of Catawba Valley I often hear sto- Methodist Churches ries about how our churches are slowly dying. Could it be we are experiencing dying churches because we have quenched and grieved the Spirit of God that gives life? Scriptures warn us not to quench or grieve the Holy Spirit by whom we are sealed for the day of redemption. As the Spirit spoke to my heart late in the evening to begin praying, He will speak to your heart. But, often in our churches, we are so fearful of change we ignore the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Imagine what opportunities we miss because we ignore the voice of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will always bring life. “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” Romans 8:11 NIV. Yes, you are reading correctly. The Spirit who raised our Lord from the dead dwells in us and gives us the power of life. When God pours out His Spirit we thrive and multiply while bearing fruit. Do not ignore His voice when He speaks. Walk daily in the Spirit and receive the abundant life.

Thankful, grateful, and blessed This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. This is one of my most favorite holidays.

I love Christmas and Easter ever, unlike Christmas with for the birth our Lord Jesus, Santa and presents, and Easand His resurrection. How- ter with the Easter bunny and egg hunts, Thanksgiving has largely true to its Creating Memories With Dignity & Respect remained original intent. Thanksgiving is a day in which we gather to simply thank God for all He has done, is doing, and will do.

come king over Israel. One of his first acts as king was to do some act of kindness to remember his friend Jonathan. Jonathan was a son of the former king Saul. He also was David’s best friend. Jonathan had been killed in battle with his father Saul. David discovered through one of Saul’s former servants Ziba, that Johnathan had a son named Mephibosheth who was disabled in both of his feet. David brought Mephibosheth before him, and restored his father’s land to him, and told him he would eat at his table always. In other words, Mephibosheth would be like a son to David. Mephibosheth was amazed at such an act of love. David personified being thankful, grateful, and blessed. His actions show us how we are to have a heart of true thanksgiving. David remembered his friend Jonathan, and the goodness he

had shown him. David also remembered how good God had been to him his entire life, from his time as a shepherd, all the way to the kingdom. Thankful people never forget the goodness of others, and the things people have done for them. They certainly never forget how good God has been to them throughout life. David was simply motivated by love. He showed great mercy to Mephibosheth because of his love for Jonathan. May love be the only thing that motivates our hearts, the love of Jesus. David said in 2 Samuel 9:3, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God?” (NKJV). David wanted to show the love of God to Mephibosheth. He was blessed, and he wanted to bless others in the name of God. David was a thankful man. He was grateful to God, and he was certainly blessed. This

week as we gather with family and friends, may we never forget how good God has been to us. Being thankful, we express our gratitude to God, as people can see it on our faces. As grateful people, we show the goodness of God to others. We are truly blessed, and we live a blessed life before God and those we meet every day. We say thank you to God for all things. He is so good to us! To you all, I say, Happy Thanksgiving!

Mt. Island Educational State Forest dedicated N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler was joined by state and community leaders in celebrating the groundbreaking of the Education Center at the N.C. Forest Service Mountain Island Educational State Forest (MIESF). The Center will welcome visitors and provide facility space for educational programming and informative displays about forest ecosystems and the benefits of good forest management. While the forest provides demonstrations and educational opportunities to the public, MIESF staff currently accomplish this through outreach efforts in the surrounding communities. The Education Center will have dedicated space for forest rangers to offer educational programs concerning the mission of the forest, which includes conservation of natural resources and water quality protection. MIESF is located on an important conservation easement designed to help protect Mountain Island Lake. The forest protects 12 miles of shoreline on Mountain Island Lake in the Catawba River Basin, which is a key part of the primary drinking water supply for Charlotte, Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties. “For more than 10 years, our many conservation partners have worked hard to raise funds for Mountain Island Educational State Forest,” said Commissioner Steve Troxler. “The funds raised through these efforts, combined with the $3.1 million in funding provided by the state legislature last year and an additional $500,000 this year, will go a long way towards getting this important educational resource opened. I want to thank our partners who have committed themselves to this endeavor.” Commissioner Troxler went on to express his gratitude towards Representative John Torbett, Representative Jason Saine and others in the legislature for their efforts in securing the needed funding. He also thanked the members of the MIESF Coordinating Committee and Carolina Land and Lakes for their commitment and fundraising efforts to complete the trails and other buildings needed on site. Commissioner Troxler concluded by recognizing the Education Center’s importance to future generations. “The children that learn about North Carolina’s forest ecology here at Mountain Island, and at all of our Educational State Forests, will be the decision makers of tomorrow,” he said. “As we look ahead at the challenges that may arise in the years to come, it is places such as this that will have a profound impact on potential agriculture and forestry leaders. That gives me a great deal of hope for the future.”

Mt. Holly Community Garden Christmas event The Mount Holly Community Garden will be holding it’s 4th Annual Christmas Enchantment in the Garden on Saturday 12/8 from 5:00pm-9:00pm. This free, family-friendly event for all in the community has grown by the hundreds each year and is often called the “McAdenville of Gardens”. Located at 126 N. Main Street in Mount Holly, the Mount Holly Community Garden has quickly become a popular destination in the city, housing 52 organic garden beds each leased and attended to yearly by garden members. Over the past 4 years, the Mount Holly Community has supplied the Mount Holly CRO with thousands of pounds of fresh produce, and implemented several free community wellness programs, such as, Gardening Classes, Wellness Cooking Demonstrations, Yoga in the Garden and unique art projects. Community outreach has been a main focal point this past year, with garden members holding free programing in communities of need around Gaston County, and most recently planning and planting the Caromont Cancer Center’s Garden of Hope for patients and families to utilize while undergoing cancer treatment at the center. This year’s Christmas Enchantment in the Garden is sure to be one to remember. Each of the 52 garden beds will be decorated differently by garden members, along with hundreds of glowing luminaries lighting your way. Be sure to cast your vote for your favorite decorations while you are there. Local businesses and artists will also be taking part this year by decorating designated communal areas around the garden. The Blue Barn Bistro food truck will be on site with their farm-to-table fare available for purchase, as well as, hot drinks available by Catawba Coffee. Spiced cider and cookies will also be provided by garden members. Live music by Jonathan Brackett, Cathy Black, Taylor Vancil and A Cappella group, Melodramatic, composed of Mountain Island Charter School students Kelsie Painter, Garet McGinnis, Michael Tate, Joyner Jones and Jasmine Clarkson, is something you won’t want to miss. Of course, the evening wouldn’t be complete without a stop from the jolly man himself, Santa! Be sure to bring your camera to capture the magical moment. Scott Griffin photo

Heart Society receives grant The Heart Society has announced it has received a $7,500 grant from the Community Foundation of Gaston County to provide Medication Assistance for local heart patients. As most heart patients require prescription medication, this program is the most significant way the Heart Society serves people in our community who are living with cardiovascular disease. Chris Leazer, President of the Heart Society’s Board of Directors, stated “We sincerely appreciate the Community Foundation’s investment in our efforts to provide potentially lifesaving medication to people in our community. We receive numerous requests for medication assistance on a daily basis due to the high rates of cardiovascular disease in our county. The Community Foundation’s grant will help us more fully respond to those requests. We are honored to have the Foundation as a partner in our efforts.” The Community Foundation awards annual grants through a competitive application and review process. Ernest Sumner, Executive Director of the Community Foundation stated, “The Community Foundation’s Board of Directors is pleased to provide support for Heart Society of Gaston County’s Medication Assistance Program. Funds from this grant will be used to purchase critical cardiac related medication through local pharmacies for uninsured and underinsured clients in our community.”

The Gaston County Museum has announced that it has received a $4,000 grant from the Community Foundation for the expansion of the Museum’s annual Gaston County Schools Art Show “Through an Artist’s Eyes”. With support from the Community Foundation and in collaboration with the Town of Dallas, the exhibit will move to the Historic Dallas Courthouse in 2019. The Courthouse will serve as a larger, more accessible space for the exhibit; one which will be a sustainable location for generations of young artists to experience their work in a professional museum setting.

South Point moves on to second round after 28-7 win over Mount Pleasant By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

The South Point Red Raiders took their show on the road for the first round of the NCHSAA 2A playoffs and were rewarded with a big 28-7 win over the #7 seated Mount Pleasant Tigers. The game started a bit slow with neither side getting into the end zone in the first quarter. Keaton Hale put the first points on the board for South Point off of a 35-yard run with 11:20 on the clock. A Cade Ratliff PAT put the Red Raiders up 7-0. Mount Pleasant answered with a touchdown run of their own to tie the score up 7-7. On South Point’s next possession fullback Naseem Jones broke off a 54yard touchdown run to break the tie. Another Ratcliff PAT gave South Point a 14-7 halftime lead. After both teams took the field for the third quarter South Point picked up where they left off. The Red Raiders scored twice in the third, once off of a 38 yard Jones run and again on a Hale to Ray Grier 27 yard touchdown strike. The Red Raiders took a comfortable 28-7 lead into the fourth quarter and did what they needed to do to

keep the Tigers boxed up. Overall Mount Pleasant played hard and showed some heart. “I was impressed with their running back and quarterback,” South Point head coach Adam Hodge noted. Going on the road is never easy, but this week the Red Raiders showed that they can take care of business no matter where they have to play. “I thought we played well after a slow start,” coach Hodge said of the game. “Our fullback ran hard and the offensive line blocked well. Keaton took what they gave him.” Hodge made a valid point. South Point’s fullback ran very hard. Naseem Jones ended the game with 191 yards and two touchdowns. Overall the Red Raiders had 356 yards of total offense compared to Mount Pleasant’s 161 yards. On the defensive side the Red Raiders did a good job keeping the Tigers at bay and generating turnovers. Ray Grier and Tre Glenn both picked off Mount Pleasant passes. “Our defense got a few turnovers and that really was the difference.” Hodge went on to say. Now the Red Raiders need to prep for this week. In round two the Red

South Point Red Raiders take the field against Mt. Pleasant. Photos by Calvin Craig Superraiders Raiders will be on the road yet again. This time South Point will travel to Lenoir to face the undefeated Hibriten Panthers. In 2017 the Panthers won

the state championship. This year it looks like Hibriten is just as good with a 12-0 record. It’s rare to see the Red Raiders in underdog mode.

However, that could be to Big Red’s advantage. Hibriten is a power run team and the Red Raiders know how to play against that style. If South Point

plays smart and catches the Panthers off guard they could have a chance to be giant slayers. See more photos page 13

board and scored 14 unanswered points. Late in the second quarter Cramer got motivated when quarterback Luke Carpenter hit Kendall Karr on a 43-yard touchdown pass with 2:54 on the clock. A successful Devin Baldwin PAT closed the gap to 14- 7. What hope Cramer had to tighten the game was quickly dashed when with only a few seconds left till halftime Crest scored again. That score gave the Chargers a 21-7 halftime lead. In the second half Crest kept pounding. On the other Tyresse Morris runs through the mud and the Charger defense side of the ball the Cramer for a Cramer first down. defense was swamped and the Storm offense struggled to get the surge they needed to get back into it. With that said the Storm never gave in. In the fourth quarter Luke Carpenter threw another touchdown. This one to Devin Baldwin for 69 yards. Statistically, things were actually close. Crest had 368 yards of total offense compared to the Storm’s 315. Cramer was moving the ball, but they just couldn’t get the ball into the end zone consistently. On a good note, Cramer quarterback Luke Carpenter had an outstanding game. Carpenter went 15 for 30 for 244 yards and two touchdowns. However, in the end, Cramer’s inability to get into the end zone showed on the scoreboard. “We sort of struggled offensively to get things going against a good great Crest defense,” coach Ben McMillan said. “We didn’t make plays Storm receiver #82 Kendall Karr catches a pass for a 43 yard See FIRST ROUND, Page 17 gain.

“I’m really proud of our group of seniors,” coach McMillan added. “They have brought the program a long way in four years.” Coach McMillan thinks a lot of his players. He believes they have grown into much more than just football play-

somewhat of a surprise. Swain County rolled into Mount Holly and played some old-school smash mouth football on their way to a 13-6 first round win. The Maroon Devils churned out 267 yards of total offense. All of Swain’s yardage came from their run-

ning game. On the other hand Mountain Island registered 165 yards of offense. The Raptors switched things up a bit by putting Kobe Creamer at quarterback. Creamer had a respectful game throwing one touchdown pass. However, Creamer couldn’t get the

Raptors high octane offense rolling. The Raptors top runner Elijah Burris had 13 carries for 105 yards. Statistically Burris had a good game, but he wasn’t able to turn the tide. Mountain Island finished 2018 at 7-5.

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

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,

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 suggestions.

The three other classes attended the Homecoming football game and watched as the Mountaineers trounced Ashbrook. Sitting together at the 40-yard line, these alumni showed their Mountaineer pride wearing black and gold. The Class of 1973 held their reunion at the Kings Mountain Country Club, and 80 attended. At noon on Saturday, the class had a picnic at Lake Crawford, followed by the reunion later

of 1978 held their festivities at Deer Woods Farm in Bessemer City as 80 gathered for the celebration. After dinner, classmates danced to a DJ as others visited on the patio or gathered around the fire pit. Earlier in the day, classmates played a round of golf at the Kings Mountain Country Club. Class Treasurer Steve Laughter commented, "It was awesome getting together with our classmates
