Montcross Chamber president Ted Hall receives Order of the Longleaf Pine By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info Last week’s 59th annual Montcross Chamber of Commerce annual meeting and banquet had some memorable moments (see separate article below), but arguably the best one came near the end of the evening when Chamber president Ted Hall was presented with the Order
of the Longleaf Pine. So, what’s the big deal? It’s plenty big. According to the Order of the Longleaf Pine Society website, among the honors and awards the Governor of North Carolina can bestow, none is more valued than the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Since its creation in 1963, it has been presented to honor persons who have a proven record of
service to the State of North Carolina or some other special achievement, and to others as a gesture of friendship and good will. Upon being named to the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the honoree receives a certificate by which the Governor confers upon the recipient the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary privileged to enjoy fully all rights granted to members
of this exalted order among which is the special privilege to propose the North Carolina Toast in select company anywhere in the free world. Now that he has received the award, Hall has joined the ranks of an outstanding roster of luminaries that includes folks like Billy Graham, Andy Griffith, Dean Smith, and Maya Angelou. Hall’s brother in law, Richard Atkinson of Cramerton, nominated him for the award with a letter to NC Rep. John Torbett. “The reason I nominated Ted for this award is because I have observed him demonstrate his leadership and his See HALL, Page 2

The Mount Holly Sweethearts
Last week’s 59th annual Montcross Chamber of Commerce annual meeting and banquet lived up to its theme of “Making Business Fun”. Nearly 300 folks packed the Mt. Holly Municipal Complex for the CaroMont Health-sponsored gala event that featured plenty of mingling, merrymaking, and mighty fine food and beverage. The super sized soiree also saw the Chamber give itself several pats on the back for another successful year. “What an awesome event,” said Mt. Holly mayor Bryan Hough. “This is a showcase event for our town.” 2018 Montcross Chamber board chair Carey Roberts of Incoming Montcross board chair Shannon Thomas and 2018 Carey Roberts Design took chair Carey Roberts. to the podium for some more Photo by Alan Hodge opening remarks. “This event is a celebration of the past year and the lion school bond referen- to Carolina Rehabilitation. kickoff to the coming year,” dum passed.

Some will even challenge the day by posing the question, “Why show your love for someone on just one day of the year? Aren’t you supposed to love your significant other every day?” Ultimately, the answer to that question is yes and if you need living proof that love like that exists then you don’t have to look very far.

CCP class teaches legality of concealed carry in N.C. Certified instructor Garren has trained and certified many by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com
Certified firearms instructor Dell Garren met with his most recent Concealed Carry Permit (CCP) class on a windy Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017, at a shooting range to help them all get certified for their CC permit. They were all nervous except Garren. He’s done this many, many, many times. At the range, and for their part, all his students
had to do (after a bit of practicing with their handguns) was put 21 rounds into their respective targets from 3, 5, and 7 yards out. Easy, right? Not so much, but they did okay, he said. Everybody qualified there, but that’s not where it began for the men and women. Actually, said Garren, who is also a Cherryville Police Department patrol officer and the department’s firearms instructor, the history of Concealed Handgun Carry (the more proper title) training came about as early as 1995, when the N.C. Justice Academy was tasked with developing a training program to train Concealed
Carry instructors, like himself, in a newly enacted state law making it legal to carry a concealed handgun in this state. “This means only handguns,” Garren told the students in his Saturday class, which he taught at the Cherryville Community Building. The class was an eight-hour course, with verbal instruction, a written test, then the final, hands-on training at the range off Tot Dellinger Road. Garren knows his stuff. In addition to being certified to teach Carry Concealed Permit classes, he is an N.C. Law Enforcement Firearms instructor, as well See CPC CLASS, Page 8A

Kings Mountain artist Jacques Everson has a passion for creating fine art. He says he finds inspiration through his faith and family and particularly with stained glass, a hobby he has perfected for the past 15 years. His art studio in his home at 402 W. Mountain Street is filled with sun catchers and other custom designs that according to Everson is “a hobby gone crazy.” A conversation piece in Everson’s home studio is a Dec. 8, 1918 stained glass window that originally hung in the sanctuary of a church in Gastonia. A Gas-
tonia man brought the window in its original 36x46 frame for $20 at a yard sale and wanted it restored. “It is taking a while to restore this piece but when I finish it may be my masterpiece,’’ said Everson who makes crosses of wood of all sizes that hang in churches. Tiffany-style cedar jewel boxes were his Christmas gifts to members of his family. Some of his jewel boxes are of heart pine and 1920s glass which he found in Grover and at the old Firestone plant in Gastonia. Old-fashioned leaded glass is another of his specialties and there are no two art items alike. The

triple layered crosses are of heart pine and etched glass. “I give away much of my art work,’’ said the industrial mechanic who works 12 hour shifts at a plant in Gaffney, SC and returns home to relax in his art studio. An example of some of the gifts was to a mother whose child’s marker was taken from a cemetery. He fashioned a 16-inch cross with two roses and the baby’s name which the woman hangs in her house as a memorial. And there was the lady whose eyes sparkled when she saw the brilliant shining sun catchers that he See HOBBY, Page 8A

HALL From Page 1 tireless energy and effort to grow the Montcross Chamber, to expand the program and activities for the benefit of the members and the community,” Atkinson said. “Ted is a great leader, planner, organizer and motivator. He does his homework and leaves nothing to chance. I reached out to six colleagues for letters of recommendation, I only needed three, but all six enthusiastically responded to reinforce why Ted has earned this prestigious award.” Atkinson’s nomination letter listed some of Hall’s incredible credentials of service to North Carolina. From 1974-1982, he was a reporter and later managing editor at the Morganton News Herald. From 1982-1995, Hall served as editor and later publisher of the Shelby Star. During this time he began his involvement as a volunteer with the Chamber of Commerce later serving as a director and division vice president. Hall also began his
membership in the Rotary, first serving in the Shelby Rotary Club and continuing today as a member of the Belmont Rotary Club where he is a sustaining Paul Harris Fellow. Hall’s list of accomplishments also include serving on the UNC-Chapel Hill Journalism Foundation Board, chairing the board of the Cleveland County Economic Development Commission, serving as a charter board member for Hospice in Cleveland County, leading the fundraising and developing the project to build a Habitat for Humanity home for a deserving family. In 1996, Hall served as interim director of Cleveland County Partnership for Children – a Smart Start program. In 2005 Hall and his family moved to Belmont where he volunteered and then took a part-time position with the Belmont Chamber of Commerce. Today he holds the full-time position as President of our beloved
Montcross Chamber of Commerce. Torbett was in legislative session and unable to attend the banquet but sent his congratulations to Hall. “Over several decades I have always seen Ted performing first and foremost for the businesses and citizens of our community, always,” Torbett said. “He is ever vigilant on the process and optimistically determined to see a goal or venture come to fruition. The award could have been created based on his work ethic and humble expectations to see others achieve their dreams before his. The award is not easily attained and eligibility has been tightened several times over the years. Ted still breezed through and that speaks for itself. On behalf of all North Carolinians, you have sown unmeasurable seeds of courtesy and planted many forests of kindness and this award is just a small token of ours and every North Carolinian’s love and
Pain Behind the Badge event planned Winning the Battle is a nationally recognized training seminar designed to help police officers, military personnel, their spouses, friends and family deal with issues that result from their chosen professions. Clarke and Tracie Paris place their hearts on their sleeves as they share research, studies and their experiences, both personal and professional, which are the result of more than five decades in the EMS/First Responder/Police/Military world. The Parises will conduct this training in Gastonia on Friday, February 15th from 8:00am - 3:30pm at Gastonia First Assembly of God, 777 S. Myrtle School Rd., Gastonia, NC 28052. The presentation is being sponsored by
Chaplain Angela A. Pleasants with the Catawba Valley District of United Methodist Churches, Missional Network 10 of Gaston County United Methodist churches, Gastonia City Police and the Gaston Clergy & Citizens Coalition, an initiative of Gaston Together. This powerful and motivating presentation is a very effective tool used to help first responders, police personnel, fire personnel, hospital personnel, military personnel, civilian employees and spouses deal with tragedies commonly referred to as “Critical Incidents:” Terrorist Attacks, Mass Casualty Incidents, Active Shooters, Teen Violence/School Violence, Every violent act that creates a victim or violent situa-

tion and Stress: Personal and Professional. It is even more effective in helping the same personnel deal with the everyday stressors associated with their chosen careers. These careers can and often do result in career-ending actions such as PTSD, depression, cumulative stress, domestic violence, failed relationships, alcoholism, substance abuse and even suicide. More police officers and military personnel commit suicide than are killed by assailants each year, not because the help does not work or is not available, but because: 1) They are afraid of appearing weak; 2) Lack of trust; 3) They don’t know where to get help; 4) They believe the help does not work. Some of the most common statements made after this presentation of “Winning the Battle” are “This training should be mandatory,” “I felt like you were telling my story,” “You changed my life,” and “I wish I would have brought my spouse.” To register for this event/ presentation, contact Eric Seagle at 704-866-6702 or email seagle_eric@cityofgastonia.com.
Ted Hall reacts to the standing ovation when it was announced he had received the Order of the Longleaf Pine. respect for you. Your name now joins few others whose accomplishments have also shaped the past and will continue to shape our future.” Montcross Chamber secretary Melia Lyerly of the Lyerly Agency made the actual award presentation as well as some kind remarks about Hall. “In 2005, when Ted came on board, the Chamber had 85 members and financially, we weren’t in the best of shape,” she said. “Today, the Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce has more than 500 members – 600% growth. All of this has happened due to the steady, continuous leadership of Ted Hall and his great teammate, Teresa Rankin.” Before the presentation, Hall had an inkling he was going to get the award, but at the actual moment that Lyerly called him onstage, before the hundreds of banquet attendees who gave him a standing ovation, it was obvious Hall was a bit taken aback by the magnitude of the moment. “I’m both tremendously humbled and tremendously honored to receive my state’s most prestigious award,” Hall said. “I never dreamed I would be considered for an honor that’s been given to our state’s most accomplished leaders. It’s the greatest honor of my life after that of being Freda’s husband, dad to my children and papaw to our grandchildren.” Hall mused on his simple beginnings in 1949 when he was born in Caroleen, a textile community in Rutherford County. “I‘ve been blessed all of my life to have special people lifting me up and showing me the way,” he said. “I’ve literally stood on the shoulders

with Joe Depriest, who later became a leading reporter, feature writer and columnist at The Charlotte Observer. At The News Herald in Morganton, I worked with journalists Larry Dale and Bill Poteat, who now writes for the Gaston Gazette after retiring from a teaching career; and Ken Garfield, former religion editor at The Charlotte Observer. Ever humble, looking over the audience of more than 260 Chamber members and friends, Hall said, “The only way I can feel I deserve this recognition is that all of you and the thousands of others who have participated in any way with the Montcross Area Chamber agree to accept it with me. It is you who have amplified my meager efforts and turned our small little organization into one that is a valuable economic development asset to the communities we serve, to all of Gaston County and the surrounding region.”

of giants, beginning with my parents, who were hard-working people laboring in the mills and the fields of southern Rutherford County. They had little money, but they gave me a fortune in love and values. Outstanding teachers did the same for me in high school and college. In my newspaper career, my giants were icons of North Carolina journalism, men who devoted their lives to making their communities better through their work as editors and publishers of daily newspapers in Morganton and Shelby. They became my heroes, all long gone now, but men I think of almost every day, because they ignited in me a drive to make my community better. In those newspapers, I also worked shoulder to shoulder with some of North Carolina’s greatest journalists, including Steve Bouser and his wife Brenda.

SWEETHEARTS From Page 1 together at the Mount Holly Theater as well as other festivities. It was one fateful night at a party when Linda had the hiccups that Cupid’s arrow struck. Another boy approached Linda claiming to be able to cure her hiccups. As quickly as she could ask him “how?” the boy kissed her, and jealousy overcame Junior’s heart. At that moment, he knew he was going to ask her on a date. Their very first date was a double at the Bessemer City DriveIn and after that night, the rest was history. They began dating in 1967 and got married in 1968 after Junior made a vital promise to Linda’s mother. Her mother was opposed at first because she wanted Linda to finish school first, but he assured her that with her permission she would never have to work a day in her life or worry about anything. He continues to keep that promise to this day. The first house they ever moved in was on Craig Street in Mount Holly. “It was hard starting off,” claims Linda. “I didn’t know much about cooking at that age and didn’t want to hang around my mother long enough for her to teach me! We definitely had our ups and downs as well for the first few years. It wasn’t hard to get used to one another, but it was just… different. You begin to see all the sides of someone when you get married.” “I used to drink a lot when we first got married,” says Junior. From around 1968 until 1976 they had regular fallouts due to alcohol and both claim that had they not been saved, they probably would have never stayed together. “Allowing the Lord in our lives made all the difference,” they agree. They began living in accordance to the Bible and began to experience many blessings that they always thank God for. “My favorite scripture in the Bible is Romans 8:28,” Junior says. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love
The Burnettes in 1968 and in 2018.
God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. When we got saved, this scripture has proven to be real in our marriage time and time again. Everything has a purpose according to His will, not ours.” What are some tips on having a long and happy marriage, you ask? “First and foremost, keep God in your marriage!”, claims Linda. They also say to forgive meaningfully and apologize
truly from the heart. Have a date night once in a while to get out and do something different. Don’t hold jealousy because it will kill a marriage. It never hurts to take a stroll down memory lane to see how far you’ve made it as a couple. Marriage is a wonderful gift and although you won’t always see eye to eye, you never forget that you love your sweetheart.

erty beside the I-85 North Bound 26 Exit Ramp, the wooded area behind Nichol’s BP on McAdenville Rd., the wooded area between Bi-Lo and the Gaston County Visitor’s Center, and the I-85 South Bound 27 Exit Ramp. The areas had been neglected over time, and had become filled with trash

and litter. The areas have also been prone to a few homeless people camping in them and for that reason, the parcels were all marked with no trespassing signs after the trash was removed in hopes to keep the areas beautiful and clean. These areas are some of our most frequently traveled areas and should represent the
beautiful town we have. There were about 35 to 40 volunteers that helped with the project and between 150 to 200 bags of trash were collected. Due to the success of this project, there are plans for future cleanup projects in other areas of the city. Belmont Abbey Police photos

Loving others...
BANNER-NEWS OBITUARIES
Paul Outlaw Paul Outlaw, 71, of Mt. Holly (formerly Belmont), reunited with family in Heaven on February 5, 2019. Paul was born January 19, 1948 in Columbia, SC to the late William Robert Outlaw Jr. and Sybil Page Outlaw. He graduated from West Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte and worked as a staff photographer for the Gastonia Gazette and Raleigh News and Observer. He later obtained an Associate of Science degree from CPCC. To support himself as a student, he worked as a respiratory therapist at Carolinas Medical Center. There he met the love of his life, a beautiful and vibrant nurse, Judy King. They married in 1971. God richly blessed them with daughter Rebecca, and they built a warm home life in Charlotte. Paul earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from UNCC and became a science teacher at Belmont Middle School. He was known for his memorable and sometimes unconventional teaching methods. Students held after school for detention were introduced to classical music. Alongside the plants he nurtured in the school greenhouse, he grew minds and a zest for learning. Having overcome challenges of his own, Paul’s empathy for adolescents, particularly those struggling, was boundless. He was a great listener and had an attentiveness that put others at ease. Paul earned a Masters’ degree in Education from UNCC and an Educational Specialist degree from Winthrop University. He continued his career as an Assistant Principal at Holbrook, Belmont, and Cramerton Middle Schools, but served his longest tenure at his beloved South Point High School. “Mr. Outlaw” was a “Red Raider” through and through, often painting his head with the school insignia for Friday night football. Having once worked as an evening DJ at CPCC’s school radio station, Paul loved music of all types. He often enjoyed area beach music and concerts with melodies from the 60’s and 70’s. In his retirement he gave volunteer services at the Blumenthal Center for the Arts, Belmont police station, and Belmont
Community Organization food pantry. He often taught as a substitute and drivers ed instructor because he couldn’t deny his abiding passion for teaching. With deep joy he ‘finished the mission’ he and Judy started in helping raise his grandsons to fine young men. Faith played a very important role in Paul’s life. He was reared in Catholic schools in Columbia and Charlotte. Although later joining and worshiping in other denominations, he remained rooted in the beauty of the Catholic faith. He was an active member of Myers Memorial United Methodist Church in Gastonia for many years, where he and Judy shared many friends and memories. Paul was proud of and grateful for his country. In addition to his parents, beloved wife Judy, and brother William, Paul was preceded in death by in-laws Bob and Betty King and Julia Skinner, with whom he shared close relationships. Paul is survived by his loving daughter and sonin-law Rebecca and Mark Yount of Belmont; grandsons, Luke Via of Cullowhee and Alec Via of Belmont; brother Mark Outlaw and fiancée Doreen Bailey of Mint Hill; sisters-in-law Jann Walker (Bill) of Swannanoa; Tina Outlaw of Lake Wylie, SC and Paige Adams (Wes) of Gastonia; nephews Mike Walker (Rachel) of Havertown, PA and Rob Walker (Clare) of Portland, OR; nieces Arina Nielsen (Chad) of Lake Wylie, SC; Claire Outlaw and Kara Outlaw of Charlotte, and Jennifer Walker of Charleston, SC; great-nephews Wyatt and William Walker of Havertown and Silas Walker of Portland. The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors, and staff at Caromont Regional Medical Center for their compassion and diligent care these past weeks. A service honoring God for Paul’s life was held at Myers Memorial United Methodist Church in Gastonia on Friday, February 8, 2019 at 4pm. The family received friends prior to the service at 2pm. Graveside services followed at Evergreen Cemetery in Belmont. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Little Red Schoolhouse fund at Myers Memorial UMC or Autism Speaks. Condolences may be sent to www.mcleanfuneral.com. McLean Funeral Directors of Belmont is serving the Outlaw family.

This is also where she met her future husband and love of her life, Gary Laws.

Meditations What’s in your mind? Usually, when I travel out of town, I try to stay at hotels with a refrigerator and microwave. As a vegan and clean food eater, it helps to take my food when I travel. When I visited St. Simons Island, my hotel had neither a microwave nor a refrigerator. I had to rely on the food prepared by others. It is not that the food was not good, but it was not how I usually make my vegan meals. As I was driving home, I started to feel bad. After arriving home, later that night, my stomach was in such pain I had to sleep in a tight ball. In a system that is used to whole, natural, meatless foods, I allowed a foreign element in and over time it caused a reaction that affected my entire body. What are you allowing into your mind that is changing your whole being? What anger are you holding onto that has spread like gangrene and now is affecting you and your relationships? It can start as an argument or an offense. We begin to play it over in our mind and speak it to anyone who will listen. Soon, the offense turns into anger. The anger becomes rooted in our heart and if not tended to will produce the fruit of bitterness. “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one shall see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled.” Hebrews 12:14-15 ESV. Why is bitterness so dangerous? It refuses reconciliation. Scriptures remind us to seek peace with everyone. As children of God, our ministry is a ministry of reconciliation. As we are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, we are to be reconciled one to another. “All this is from God, who through Christ
reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of rec- Rev. Angela Pleasants onciliation.” II Corinthians 5:18-19 District Superintendent ESV. We may think if we forgive, of Catawba Valley where is justice? Forgiveness does Methodist Churches not dismiss justice, but it does free us from bitterness. Holding onto grudges and bitterness does more harm to your soul than to the other person. When we allow bitterness to take root in our heart, it turns our focus from God. As our attention shifts from God, it turns toward the poisonous fruit of bitterness and causes us to act in ways contrary to the nature of God. Soon it causes friction in the community and the destruction of relationships. It is our responsibility that no one misses the grace of God; the forgiveness Jesus offered in his sacrifice on the cross. Scripture instructs us to get rid of malice, anger, and bitterness. “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:31-32 ESV. As adopted children in the family of God, we take on the characteristics of our family. Our love is shaped by Jesus love on the cross. As we have received love and forgiveness, we are to extend love and forgiveness.

What is Love? By Shelton Fisher
around seven years old and can just picture my father storming like a hurricane through the living room and just before Shelton Fisher he slammed his way out the front door, he stopped long enough to kick the door facing so hard that the ceiling shook. I looked at the footprint as his white F-150 screamed out of the driveway in a cloud of dust, then looked at my mother standing by the sink with tears in her eyes. Helpless in the situation, there was nothing for me to do but go to my room and wait. After an hour or two, the front door opened and my father came home and I watched as they began to just hold one another and begin to heal. I would be lying if I were to claim that this was the first or the last time I ever saw this type of thing happen, but I couldn’t help but take note of each time because no matter what, they still don’t give up. So here I am; a twenty-six year old with around ten years of dating, two years of marriage, and still a TON of learning to do. I, like my father have married my high school sweetheart and for better or for worse we continue to learn new things about each other. It seems as though every time I think I have the whole “perfect husband” thing down, I’ve actually thrown a new wrench into it. After a lot of watching, learning, and practice however, I think I understand what love is. Love is swallowing your pride a good bit of the time to work it out. It’s not becoming complacent in your 50/50 role, as your fifty percent requires one hundred percent presence. It’s also letting your guard down to the one person who sees every inch and ounce of you every day. It’s not easy, but it’s worth every lesson learned along the way.
They say that imitation is a sincere form of flattery. I suppose that’s often why history seems to repeat itself through “new” styles and trends that come about through the years. After all, if something wasn’t good then there would be no reason to follow or recreate it. To many marriage is a vow taken in front of God and peers, where two declare their love and investment in one another’s lives. To others there is no need for such a ceremonious approach to such a simple four letter word. I learned about marriage (but more importantly life) by growing up and watching my parents function as a couple and made it my goal to follow in their footsteps. I can remember seeing my parent’s senior high school annual, finding their oddly familiar faces, and asking the age old question, “How did you two meet?” My parents were part of the first graduating class of East Gaston High School, which merged the former Mount Holly and Stanley High Schools together. My mother claims to have first been smitten as my father walked into her homeroom class with a motorcycle helmet cradled under his arm like a basketball. They became high school sweethearts and the rest is history.

MONTCROSS From Page 1 Thousands more have been cared for through ambulatory services such as the pain clinic, sleep center and outpatient sports medicine program. In addition to serving patients, Carolinas Rehabilitation - Mount Holly is a teaching hospital, training the next generation of physicians, therapists and nurses in the Montcross area. The hospital, and its parent organization Atrium Health, employ a workforce of almost 2,100 living in Gaston County. Of these, over 600 are nurses, 39 are physicians and 62 are advanced care practitioners. Carolinas Rehabilitation – Mount Holly has supported the Montcross Area Chamber since John Roberts, the first hospital administrator, was selected to serve on the Chamber Board of Directors in 2007. The EPIC (Entrepreneurial, Progressive, Innovative and Collaborative) Award went to the Greater Gaston Development Corporation. Just one of the GGDC’s many triumphs began in 2017 with its Alliance for Growth Plan, the GGDC has shown a unique ability to understand and address economic, business, political, workforce, education and transportation matters that are of great importance to Gaston County; build coalitions across the public and private sectors; and lead teams that have achieved results. Gaston Out-
side (GO) Campaign: The Gaston Outside (GO) Image And Branding Campaign Is addressing the negative impressions of Gaston County, both within the county and in Charlotte, as identified in an opinion survey conducted in 2014. Under the leadership of Executive Director Mark Cramer and current Board Chair Greg Botner of Wilbert Plastic Services, GGDC developed the highly-successful public-private partnership model for funding and managing the GO campaign, and recruited Gaston County, Belmont, Mount Holly, Cramerton, Stanley, Lowell, Gastonia, Bessemer City and Dallas as government partners, along with private companies, in the $960,000 three-year campaign. The GO campaign has achieved positive results within the county itself and in the region. The Harley B. Gaston Jr. Public Service Award went to Cramer Mtn. Country Club founder Don Doctor, who, with his wife Mary, conceived a plan to save one of Gaston County’s major assets. Later they would describe that decision, which began with a $700,000 price tag and ran into the millions, not as a financial investment but as a gift back to the community. “It’s a God thing,” Mary Doctor said. For his success in reviving Cramer Mountain Club as a major

The Doctor plan required a minimum of 200 investors. Within 90 days, 203 investors were on board. The property was purchased and the work of restoring Cramer Mountain Club to its former glory was ready to begin. In the spring of 2015, the Mont-

One of the most dramatic changes was converting the upper level of the massive clubhouse building, which had hosted thousands of banquets and wedding receptions, into corporate office suites. All of the suites have been purchased and occupied by businesses, several of

Saving Cramer Mountain Club was a major contribution to the economy and quality of life in the Town of Cramerton, in the South Point Township and in all of Gaston County.

Gaston County Police to host home and personal safety seminar The Gaston County Police Department will be hosting its 1st Annual Home & Personal Safety Seminar on March 23rd at the Gaston County Citizens Resource Center in Dallas. The center is located at 1303 Dallas Cherryville Hwy, Dallas NC. Residents of Gaston County and surrounding areas, are invited to attend an education packed, one day seminar that will educate residents on staying safe at home and in public. The seminar is a free event for all residents of the county. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, there were an estimated 1,579,527 burglaries in 2015. The study showed that 57.9 percent of burglaries involved forcible entry. Victims of burglary offenses suffered an esti-
mated $3.6 billion in property losses in 2015. Burglaries of residential properties accounted for 71.6 percent of all burglary offenses. Gaston County Police Officer C.E. Owens stated that “Education is Power! We are thrilled and excited to offer this free seminar that will educate residents in crime prevention tactics.” Owens believes that taking steps to prevent crime before it happens, is key to crime prevention. The one day seminar will offer sessions on Home and Personal Safety, Door & Lock Security, Preparing an Emergency Plan for Home Invasions, NC Self Defense and Concealed Carry Laws, Active Shooter Response, Identity Theft & Scams, as well as Medicare Fraud. When asked why the po-
lice believed the event was so important, Owens stated, “I’m often invited to speak to groups and organizations on various crime prevention topics. We believe a one day seminar, would be a great way to provide multiple crime prevention strategies to a larger population of residents, all at one large scale event.” Free lunch, along with refreshments throughout the course of the event will be provided to all residents who attend. Although the event is free of charge, seating is limited. Those planning to attend are asked to register for the event prior to March 15th.

The late John Hope made a big impact on Mt. Holly before he passed away on June 28, 2016 at the age of 63. Hope was a long time City of Mt. Holly employee. In 2005 he received the 15 year award from the City. In 2006 the City of Mount Holly presented him with the Community Award and in 2014 he was the recipient of the City of Mount Holly’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Key to the City. He was born in Mecklenburg County, son of the late Robert and Zelma Anderson Hope. He was a member of the Kappa Fraternity, and an inductee in the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame. As 2011 Mount Holly Man of the Year and a former Grand Marshall of the Mount Holly Christmas Parade, Mr. Hope was an active and vital member of the Mount Holly Community. He served as treasurer of the Gaston County Democratic Party and Board of Directors member of the Mount Holly Community Relief Organization (CRO) Board of Directors. He was a former recipient of Gaston County’s Organization of Community Concerns Award in recognition and appreciation for his many years of service to the community. Hope was active in the Community Relief Organization as well as the Mount Holly Historical Society.
Hope was also one of the founders of the Black History Forum that chronicles and celebrates the city’s AfricanAmerican Heritage. The Black History Forum started out with just a few members but now its annual banquet packs the Grand Hall at the Municipal Complex. Hope called the Black History Forum his “baby”. Hope grew up in Mount Holly and attended Rollins School. He went on to graduate St. Augustine University in Raleigh. A hard blow fell on Hope in 1996 when he suffered kidney failure. A 1999 transplant failed in 2006 and he had to go to dialysis several times a week while looking for another donor. Hope turned that lemon into lemonade by working with the Kidney Foundation giving lectures on how to not only survive, but thrive under those health conditions. Mt. Holly city manager Danny Jackson recalled Hope and his legacy. “John Hope worked for the City of Mount Holly 18 years before he retired,” Jackson said. “Therefore, our relationship began in the
John Hope workplace, even with me being his supervisor for a number of years. In the workplace John was a valued employee, who could be counted on to do a great job. He took pride in going beyond the call of duty. It’s nice as a supervisor to have an employee that you don’t have checked on to make sure they are doing the right thing for the company. John was really community conscious and loved Mount Holly, which was his home. The same traits described above are the same traits exhibited in his community service. John can rest in peace knowing that he dedicated himself to help make Mount Holly a better place through his service.”

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,

Despite growing pains Stuart Cramer pushes on By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
At 4-16 the Stuart Cramer girls basketball team have little hope of making the playoffs. This year Cramer has faced programs with more talent, experience and depth. This season Cramer fielded a very young squad. Probably the youngest since the schools founding in 2013. With the exception of senior standout Carley Womack this year’s starting lineup is made up primarily of freshmen and sophomores. Girls that in a perfect world would be playing junior varsity ball. Unfortunately the varsity team needed players and these ladies would have to learn without the benefits of training wheels. The Lady Storm have had a tough time this year. That can’t be candy coated. Of course that’s not to say the season has been a wash, far from it. Cramer has been competitive in many of their games. However, at times the teams lack of experience has shown. Take for example the recent loss to Burns. This was a game that could have been won. “We had a rough one against Burns,” head coach Carey Pohlman said. “We had the lead most of the game and lost it at the end. That one was tough to swallow.” Going into the fourth quarter Cramer was up 41-32. The Lady Bulldogs outscored the Storm 24-14 in the fourth and that was that. Cramer lost 56-52. Some of the ingredients for success are there, but Cramer still needs to figure out
how to get everything clicking at the same time. “We just haven’t been able to piece things together in close games,” coach Pohlman explained. “We can’t seem to get over that hump.” Losing tight games is hard. It’s got to be a lot for these young ladies to process. “A lot of them realize we are young,” coach Pohlman said of the team. “We just need to be a little more consistent offensively and not get into foul trouble on defense. We also need to rebound.” Cramer is in a position where they have to look to the future. Two of the young players that should be part of that future are sophomore Ranija Hamilton and freshman Nyla Lewis. Hamilton and Lewis are players that have a lot of potential. Both have been solid contributors this year Hamilton, a shooting guard is the second leading scorer on the team. Lewis, a center is developing into a solid player. Another player that has shown flashes of ability is freshman Karis Peterson. Peterson leads the team in rebounding with 142 rebounds For Cramer to succeed in the future players like Hamilton, Lewis and Peterson will need to push themselves further. This trio and others like them are the future of Cramer girls basketball. Together they will need to learn the nuances of the game. Together they will need to learn to see the big picture. Growing up never happens overnight. This will take time. See CRAMER, Page 19
Last Friday night the Stuart Cramer High Storm basketball squads hosted the Ashbrook Green Wave on Senior Night. The Storm seniors were honored between games. The Green Wave ladies took the win 82-52 and the Ashbrook men also won 63-54 as they pulled away late in the forth quarter in a very close and exciting game. Photos by Michael Strauss Photography

ally pleased with that. They haven’t given up even when we are down a lot.” Stuart Cramer supporters should be proud of their girls basketball team. This is a team that keeps pushing, game in and game
out. This year’s team may be young, but these ladies stay in the fight. As they learn and grow they should only get better. You really can’t ask for anything more.

Students encouraged to apply for Commissioners’ School program It’s time to start thinking about the Commissioners’ School of Excellence. Commissioners’ School is a summer enrichment program open to current ninth grade students (rising tenth graders) in Gaston County. Now in its 33rd year, the leadership development program offers students an opportunity to learn about Gaston County while having fun in a summer camp-type experience. Applications are available now – each high school determines its application deadline. The program will be held June 16-27 at Belmont Abbey College. Interested students should see their high school guidance counselor for an application. Approximately 60 students are chosen from across the county based on academic performance, extracurricular activities (school and community), leadership potential, selfmotivation, and written expression. There is no cost to the students who are selected to attend. Commissioners’ School challenges students to better
understand themselves, life in Gaston County, and their roles as future leaders. They participate in seminars, problem-solving activities, field trips, special performances, and hands-on experiences as well as enjoy time with community leaders and guest speakers. Lessons and activities concentrate on teamwork, communication skills, and community service. In recent years, students have participated in activities such as touring Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, CaroMont Regional Medical Center, McGuire Nuclear Station, and Allen Steam Station. Additionally, they learned about public service and safety by visiting the Gaston County Courthouse, Gaston County Police Department, Gastonia Police Department, and Gastonia Fire Department. Students also enjoyed an evening baseball game with the Gastonia Grizzlies. The school is named in memory of James S. Forrester, a former state senator and Gaston County commissioner, funded by the county commission, and coordinated
by Gaston County Schools. For more information about the program, contact Lori Collins, lwcollins@
gaston.k12.nc.us, or Bridget Matzke, bsmatzke@gaston. k12.nc.us, or call (704) 8666100.

South Point fights for playoff spot By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Mathematically there’s just no way that the South Point Red Raiders basketball team can repeat as Southwestern 2A Conference champions. With that said the world has not yet come to an end. Right now the Red Raiders are in a fight for third place in the conference and a shot at a bracket spot in the upcoming 2A playoffs. Going into last Friday night’s game against the Chase Trojans, the Red Raiders had three games left. Winning all three would all but guarantee a playoff spot. So when the Red Raiders took the court against Chase they had business to take care of. “We came out in attack mode and never looked back,” Head coach Kody Kubbs said. The Red Raiders blistered the Trojans in the first two quarters of play. South Point was aggressive and relentless. “We pressured them and forced turnovers,” Kubbs added. “We scored a lot of points off of the turnovers.” South Point led 56-24 at the half. In the second half the Red Raiders did not let up. South Point continued to push the advantage and went on for a much needed 92-63 conference win. South Point’s top scorer was freshman Will Kelly with 14 points. Grayson Hansen had an outstanding night as well. Hansen scored 13 points and pulled down 13 rebounds. Others that contributed for South Point were Kendall
Davis, Kory Davis and Ayden Baker. Kendall Davis had 12 points while Kory Davis and Baker each had 11. “Everyone on our team played pretty well that night,” coach Kubbs said. “We are in a situation where we have to win every game. Our boys took care of business.” With the Chase win that was one down and two to go. The Red Raiders have two games left in the regular season. This week South Point will host Shelby and then finish up at East Gaston. Going into the week, the Red Raiders were tied for third in the conference with R-S Central. Both teams are 4-4 in league play. The Hilltoppers also have two games left. This week they face Chase and East Rutherford. The best scenario would have South Point winning out and R-S Central losing one or both of their games. If South Point hopes to secure third place and a playoff spot they will need to bring it. Shelby and East Gaston have no intentions of giving the Red Raiders anything. South Point has already played Shelby and East Gaston this year. They lost both games. Nope, this won’t be easy. Of course any number of things could happen. At the end of the week the Hilltoppers and Red Raiders could still be tied. If that happens everyone will just need to wait and see. Conventional wisdom says that the Southwestern 2A should get three or four playoff spots. So it is imperative that Red Raiders win out.
