New Educational State Forest being developed near Stanley By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.com

There’s a new addition to North Carolina’s system of state educational forests being developed just a few miles from Stanley and Mt. Holly. The site is known as the Mt. Island State Educational Forest and is situated at 528 Killian Rd. just off Hwy. 16. But first, what is an educational forest? The North Carolina Forest Service operates a system of Educational State Forests (ESFs) designed to teach the

public - especially school children - about the forest environment. Each forest features selfguided trails that include exhibits, tree identification signs, a forest education center and a talking tree trail. Specially trained rangers are available to conduct classes for school and other youth groups. Teachers or group leaders choose from a selection of 30-minute programs that cover all aspects of the forest environment - from soil, water and wildlife to timber and forest management. North Carolina’s Edu-

cational State Forests offer a variety of classes compatible with teaching objectives listed in the N.C. Department of Education science curriculum. State forests and state parks both offer outdoors experiences, but of different types. State forests are managed for multiple resources including wood products and wildlife habitat, hunting may be allowed in some circumstances, and recreational opportunities vary between forests. On the other hand,

Belmont city council approves 209 - home development

Joe DePriest of Cramerton still putting pen to paper

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.com

What does a person who spent decade after decade writing news stories do when he or she “officially” retires from a paper? Sit at home watching daytime TV? Continually plunge the hands that once hovered over a typewriter into a refrigerator digging out snacks? Wander around the park observing squirrels? No. They find projects to do that allows them to continue using their talent and energy to create even more stories. For sure, that’s the case with veteran writer Joe DePriest, 75, of Cramerton. DePriest got his start in journalism as a senior at Shelby High. See DePRIEST, Page 2

The Belmont city council gave approval last week to a request by Fielding Home Land Co. that opens the way for a 209-home development on 87.5 acres off NC279 (S. New Hope Rd.) near Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. The development will be known as Worrels River after the road its situated along. The council voted 4-1 to approve the project. Richard Turner cast the sole “nay” vote. Martha Stowe, Ryan Schrift, Doug Gadd, and Ron Foulk voted yes.

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

DEVELOPMENT

DePRIEST

From Page 1

From Page 1 He started with the Cleveland Times in May 1962, just before he graduated school in June. “My job was setting lead type for the old printing press,” DePriest recalled. “They let me do a little writing on the side.” After high school, DePriest attended Gardner-Webb and went on to graduate from UNC School of Journalism in 1967. He then went to work for The Shelby Star. A job that lasted about six months before Uncle Sam came calling. “I got a draft notice,” DePriest said. Joe decided to make the best of his looming selective service and joined the Army for a three year stint as a military journalist. “The war was going on in Vietnam and they told me I would probably just have to serve in Germany if I enlisted,” DePriest said. That turned out not to be the case. “I took basic training at Fort Bragg and began writing for the ‘Paraglide’ there,” he said. “Then, I was sent to Vietnam from June 1968June 1969 as a reporter for the ‘MACV Observer’ which was a weekly tabloid of news. I was also out in the field traveling on operations with troops such as the 4th Infantry. I saw a little bit of the country. It was an interesting time.” Returning from Vietnam, DePriest finished his military stint with the 197th Inf. Brig. at Fort Benning, Georgia where he worked in the public information office. The year 1970 rolled around and DePriest was back at The Star, a post he filled for 20 years covering every inch of Cleveland County. After that, he heard the Charlotte Observer was expanding its regional scope with the Gaston Observer edition and he hopped on board turning out great stories there for many years until, on February 1, 2015, DePriest decided to retire. Since his retirement, DePriest has done some freelance writing, most notably for Our State Magazine. However, in the spring of 2017 he got the chance to begin work on a large scale project- a book about the Banker’s House in Shelby and the folks who not only lived there, but of high class society in that town during the Gilded Age when cotton and textiles ruled the

economic roost in Cleveland County. For those who don’t know, the Banker’s House dates back to the1870s and is located at 319 N. Lafayette St. It is a huge and ornate mansion done in Second Empire style, painted bright yellow and topped with a lookout tower. It was built by Jesse and Hattie

“Voices in Time” cover. Jenkins. “I was contacted by a former resident of the house, Catherine Blanton Freedberg, about writing a book telling the story not only of the house, but the people connected with it,” DePriest said. “I was thrilled to get the chance.” DePriest got busy and spent countless hours researching his topic. Freedberg supplied DePriest with a plastic tub full of family information. “I went through old newspapers, deeds,and public records,” DePriest said. “I even resorted to informed speculation.” What came out of a labor of love in October 2018 was a 136 page book featuring over 60 photos of the house as well as folks who had a connection to it at some point.

treme wealth that textile and agriculture barons once had in our area, and how even folks who seem to have it made can fall on hard times. It’s a timeless tale. “It’s not just about a pretty house,” DePriest said. “It’s about people.” The Banker’s House is available for tours or special events. The book is available at thebankershouse.org and at the Cleveland Memorial Library. Now that DePriest has The Banker’s House under his belt, what’s next? “I have some projects I’m considering,” he said. “One is a book about Sunset Cemetery where I used to give tours.”

Gaston Together Healthcare Commission 2019 officers and new board members

Belmont PD fundraiser benefits Holy Angels The Belmont PD has been fundraising for the Holy Angels Foundation for the past month and participated in their biggest fundraiser of the year, the “Hula Bowl.” A goal was set to raise $500, which was well exceeded with funds of approximately $1,500. Belmont PD couldn’t have done it without the help of the kind people who donated. That money will go directly to the children and adults of Holy Angels with Intellectually Developmental Disabilities, who may also have delicate medical conditions. Belmont PD photo

Letter to the Editor... To the Banner News Editor: Running red lights is so yesterday. That dangerous behavior has been with us so long that we’ve accustomed ourselves to expecting it at highway intersections and take the necessary precautions to avoid being hit by drivers who act so recklessly. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for drivers who pass other motorists in no passing zones. This takes two forms: drivers who pass others on the right in parking,

shoulder, and construction lanes and those who pass others on the left and run the risk of crashing with oncoming traffic. Needless to say, regardless of which side they pass other drivers on, both of these are dangerous. At the same time, I would not doubt that many of them also speed, run red lights, and fail to use their turn signals. Not only do these drivers pose a threat to both themselves and to other motorists, but unlike drivers who run red lights, there is no way to

expect their dangerous behaviors. Their actions catch you off guard as a total surprise, with sheer luck being the reason that they haven’t caused more crashes. It’s wishful thinking that they will recognize themselves and change their ways, but let me pose this question to all drivers who act so irresponsibly: what could possibly their driving so recklessly that they endanger the lives of others by their actions? Stephen V. Gilmore Charlotte

Teens Changing Gaston County is a youth-led philanthropy board, consisting of 9th-12th grade students in Gaston County. A partnership between the Gaston Community Foundation and Gaston County Family YMCA established the program thirteen years ago. At their most recent meeting, the Board evaluated grant applications from fellow peers regarding service projects. With funds administered by the Community Foundation, the teens award a total of $4,994 to the following organizations: Webb Street School – The school has a closet with extra clothes for children who might need a change of clothes during the school day. Harlee Austin will use the funds to restock the closet with important items such as pants, t-shirts, and socks. Generations of Excellence – Anaiah Crawford will use the funds for the “2Self Love Project.” This will be a one day workshop for middle school girls to learn about self love and embracing natural beauty. Habitat for Humanity – Shane Fogarty will use the funds to build a small, waterproofed building that will serve as a free library in one of Habitat for Humanity’s community gardens. Holy Angels – Rich Gray will use the funds to purchase creative art supplies for the residents at Holy Angels.

The Schiele Museum – Annabelle Pearson will use the funds to host STEAM fest at the Schiele Museum. The event is aimed towards elementary school aged kids and will consist of STEAM related activities and crafts as well as a scavenger hunt. Boy Scouts of America – Foster Rouse will use the funds to create adaptive toys used by the Gaston County Schools Department of Exceptional Children. He will modify the cause and effect toys to be used by special needs children who lack the fine motor skills to operate them. Alliance for Children and Youth – Students that are in the “Friday Night Lights” program will use the funds to purchase computers. The majority of the students in their program do not have access to computers and internet at home and these computers will allow them to complete SAT prep and other homework while at the program. Catherine’s House – Kristina Vaher will use the funds to create a children’s reading area at Catherine’s House. The designated area will create a fun and inviting environment for residents children to have unlimited access to books. As a follow up to awarding grants, the Teens Changing Gaston County board will visit several of the nonprofits that were awarded grant fund-

ing to volunteer and experience philanthropy first hand. For more information about the Teens Changing Gaston County program visit www.cfgaston.org/TCGC.

FOREST From Page 1 state parks focus on preservation, with minimal manipulation of natural systems, hunting is not allowed, and offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities. Also, state forests are focused on education rather than recreation. Currently, there are six educational forests operating across our state. These include Clemmons, Holmes, Jordan lake, Rendevous Mtn., Turnbull Creek, and Tuttle. When it reaches its operational status in a few years, Mt. Island will join those ranks. The Mt. Island story goes back to 1998 when Gaston County, Lincoln County, and the City of Gastonia pooled resources to give the NC Forest Service a lease on nearly 2,000 acres of prime property near Mt. Island Lake. The land was owned by Duke Energy’s forestry and real estate arm, Crescent Resources. Laura Shidal, Mt. Island’s forest supervisor, had this to say about the deal. “The land is perpetually conserved,” she said. “There will be no housing developments.” Currently, Mt. Island is in a relatively early stage of its path to becoming a fully functioning state educational forest. The site has an office

and maintenance facility, various fields and sections of the large forest are being managed and small groups of interested organizations are allowed access with prearranged permission. Right now, the place is not open to the general public. “We hope to be open to the general public within five years,” Shidal said. Things are definitely moving in that direction. Last October, ground was broken in the woods for a 6,000sq. ft. education center. Completion of that project could take a couple of years. Architecture of the education center will resemble the one at Crowders Mtn. State Park. “The center will have two classrooms for education as well as exhibits showing the plants and animals that live here,” Shidal said.”Classes will be on topics such as tree growth, North Carolina wildlife, soil quality, and water quality.” Mt. Island will also have other forest education-related features as well. “There will be a half mile loop with ‘talking trees’,” said Shidal. “Those will be audio recording devices placed on trees along the trail. When you push a button, the recording will play an explanation of what type of tree it is in the tree’s

An host of dignitaries showed up for the October 2018 groundbreaking for the education center. ‘voice’.” Again, education is the focus. “This is a managed forest,” Shidal said. “Not a park

or a preserve. Recreation is a by product of what we do.” For now, groups of ten or more interested parties can visit Mt. Island- but only by

appointment and when Sidal has time. For more information on Mt. Island Educational Forest in particular, contact

Shidal at 704-813-356. For more information on the NC Educational Forest system visit https://www.ncesf.org/.

How much will it cost? By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org

When I go to buy something, I always want to know how much it will cost. I am interested in the item’s details, but ultimately, I want to know exactly what I am going to pay. Maybe you are the same way. We understand that there is a cost to many things. Our life lived for Jesus Christ also has a cost. As disciples of Jesus, when we give our lives to God there is sacrifice. In Mark 10:17-22 Jesus encountered a young man who wanted to know how he could have eternal life. Jesus reminded the man that he was to observe all of the commandments, loving God, one’s parents, and such. The man told Jesus he had kept all of these commandments since he was young. Jesus looked on him, and He loved him. Jesus told him he lacked one thing, he needed to sell his possessions, and give to the poor and he would have eternal life. Jesus understood that the young man’s possessions were his most treasured thing, and that is why He told him to sell them. Unfortunately, that was a price too much for the young man to pay. As Christians and disciples, are we willing to give our best to Jesus? Is there a price

that we are not willing to pay? For too many, they give to God, yet they do not give their best. Often, we choose our comfort over our Rev. Trent Tankin commitment. We may give some of our time, our resources, yet God never gets our best. What would our reaction to Jesus be if He came to us, knowing the things we treasure most, and asks us to give those up for Him? How would we react? Living for Jesus, being a true disciple, means Jesus is the most important thing to us. Many times, we are simply not prepared to give our all for Jesus. There is a price to be paid for living for Jesus. The Christian life is certainly not easy, yet I am reminded of the sacrifice Jesus made for us. He came to earth to die for us. He endured pain we cannot imagine. He suffered mockery and loneliness. He was hated, ultimately murdered so we could live. He did it all for us. Jesus gave His very best, His life, for us. If Jesus gave His best for us, then we surely can give our best to Him. How much will it cost to serve God? Jesus paid it all!

He is neutered, current on vaccines and microchipped. Come meet this boy and you will fall in love! It is a delightful experience to have a terrier mix dog at home. Terriers are brave, mischievous, energetic, active, fearless, independent, playful, and cheerful. You may come across a variety of terrier dog breeds with different genetic makeup. Their characteristics may also vary slightly, as one of their parents belong to a different breed. Big Dog of the Week The Tri-County Animal Rescue Big Dog Pet of the Week is this beautiful German Shepherd named Reese. She has Special Needs. Reese has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) which is a condition that occurs when the pancreas fails to provide the necessary amount of digestive enzymes. Due to a lack of these enzymes, pets with EPI cannot properly digest the nutrients in food such as fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. We control the EPI by adding enzyme powder to her grain free food. Reese has adjusted well to this routine and looks great! Reese is 2 years old and loves to be inside. Reese is house-trained, crate trained and a great companion for her person…however, she wants to be the only

dog. Reese is not good with small children. She is spayed, current on vaccines and micro-chipped.Please give this big girl a chance to become part of your family.w She will be looking for you this weekend. If you are looking for an addition to your family, please come out and meet our adoptable pets this Reese weekend. Many pets will be at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this Saturday noon to 6 pm. About TriCounty Animal Rescue Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties.

Storm softball pushes to improve by John Wilson

taking three for three or at least two out of three,” head coach Matt Scholz said. “But last week we didn’t accomplish that goal. Overall it was our fielding that let us down. After playing an error free game last week our defense has not been consistent enough to win games.” Coach Scholz is challenging his team to play at the next level. The coach wants to shore things up and plug the holes in the Storm defense. “Even in our victory against Statesville we had some lapses on the defensive side,” Scholz added. “We hope to improve our defense and other parts of our game going forward.” This week the 2-2 Storm will have another busy week. Cramer has three games on the schedule. The first two games will be at home. The week starts with Burns followed by another match up against Statesville. The week will end on Friday night with a trip to Dallas to play North Gaston.

After winning their opener against Bradford Preparatory School, the Stuart Cramer Storm softball team ran into some stiffer competition. Cramer dropped two of the three games they played last week. On Tuesday Cramer faced a tough Kings Mountain team that shut them out 13-0. On Wednesday, the Storm regrouped and pulled off a 17-2 win over Statesville. Gracie Wright did a good job on the mound for Cramer against Statesville. Wright got the win after pitching five innings and throwing four strikeouts. The Storms top batters against Statesville were Braley Hamilton, Ashley Nelson and Carley Womack. Hamilton went three for three belting out a triple and a double. She also slammed in 2 RBIs Nelson went two for two hitting a pair of doubles while Carley Womack went three for four. After beating Statesville,

Cramer faced another tough challenge. This one coming from Crest. Crest overwhelmed the Storm and came away with a 7-1 victory on Thursday night. Against Crest the Cramer bats were relatively silent. The Storm only punched out three hits against the 4-1 Lady Chargers. The top Cramer batter against Crest was Jayda Watkins who went one for three with an RBI. Last week definitely featured some good and bad. The Storm will need to move on and try to improve. “We go into every week trying to win the week by

School teams win awards during annual “RoboGaston” competition Story/photos by Gaston County Schools and Alan Hodge

The Belmont Central Elementary “Astro Eagles” and Belmont Middle School “Order of Infinity” teams took overall top honors in the eighth annual Gaston County Schools robotics competition held on Saturday, March 2 at Forestview High School. The teams from Bessemer City Central Elementary and Bessemer City Middle School were the overall runners-up. This year’s theme was “Into Orbit,” which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the first humans landing on the moon. Students were challenged to solve physical or social problems that people faced during long periods of space exploration. Belmont Central Elementary students were thrilled at their victory. “It was very exciting and a lot of hard work,” said Abigail Bruce. “We learned a lot and worked together as a team.” Fellow fifth grader Noah Brach agreed with Bruce. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. “We learned about the challenges of being in space.” Belmont Central principal Phyllis Whitworth had this remark. “We are so excited all the hard work paid off,” she said.

Belmont Middle principal Susan Redmon praised her robo team. “I am very proud of our team and coaches as they worked very hard all year with the presentation and robot runs!” she said. The popular competition known as “RoboGaston” gives students an opportunity to earn points in several categories, including robot performance, teamwork challenges, and research project presentations. In addition to declaring overall champions and runners-up for the middle and elementary school teams, awards were given to teams for teamwork, project presentation, and robot performance.

ford explained. “Burns and Forestview are competitive. We are rebuilding. We lost eight seniors. We don’t have a lot of experience.” A look at the Cramer roster confirms that analysis. Out of 23 roster slots that are only four seniors on the 2019 squad. This week the 3-2 Storm have a doubleheader against Burns on Tuesday and a Friday night game at North Gaston.

Keelan Helms shared the pitching duties against Crest. Royston took the loss. The road ahead will not be easy for the Storm. The Big South is definitely one of the most competitive conferences in the state. Things will be a bit tougher for Cramer when you factor in the fact that this year’s squad is young. “Crest and North Gaston are good,” coach Rad-

against Crest they found themselves up against one of the Big South Conferences powerhouse teams. The result wasn’t pretty as Cramer got shut out 15-0. “They are pretty good,” coach Radford said of Crest. “They just hit the ball out of the ballpark. There was not much we could do. I guess you could say it was their night. They had seven hits in the first inning.” Michael Royston and

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,

Both Terry L. Stutter, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Plant Manager, and Pam Crotts, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Human Resource Manager, take great pride in the fact their co-workers and staffs are seeing pink nowadays. They’re not alone. Their co-workers do too as was evidenced by what they did to honor those who fight the fight. So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month they and a number of their day and night shift employees donned pink tee-shirts to let all know

Another turkey season is arriving soon. And even though I’m excited about the possibilities, I’m reminded again of my GARY MILLER distaste for the characteristics of this bird. Yes, he’s beautiful. Yes, he’s hardy. And yes, he’s a wily competitor. But his best contribution is his shining example of all I don’t want to be and all I detest in seeing in others as well. His pride is evident and that ought to be enough to make me want to blow his head off. But there are other problems I have with him as well. One of them is his constant concern that others think of him to be something he’s not. As the gobbler approaches a hen or even other gobblers, he begins to swell. All the feathers on his body move in a way to make him look like something he normally doesn’t look like. This is only done because “Someone may be watching, and if someone is watching I have to show that I’m big, loud, large, and in charge. I have to be noticed. I have to draw attention. I have to throw names. I have to be someone I’m really not.” I shamefully admit that I used to be this way. I wanted to dress like someone else, talk like someone else, and have what someone else had. It didn’t take me long to discover it was hard enough trying to be myself opposed to trying to be someone else. Now I still struggle with this at times, but I’m quickly reminded of its futility. You see, one of the reasons we battle with this is because we don’t have a healthy self-esteem. What we are saying when we try to be something we are not, is that the person I really am is not an interesting, gifted, or even likeable person. We think who we really are is Clark Kent. So, we constantly feel the need to put on our Superman outﬁt when others are around. Healthy self-esteem is simply the ability to recognize the areas you are gifted in and the areas you are not. It’s realizing God was your individual Creator and He really “don’t make no junk.” Now that doesn’t mean that we are not to strive to be better and to grow, but what it does mean is that our identity is in who our Father made us to be and not in our fruitless effort in trying to be something or someone else. God really does love the person He made you to be. So, you ought to as well. And others will follow. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

Gas prices climb across the Carolinas Gas prices have increased in the Carolinas for the fifth straight week. During this time, gasoline stocks have gradually decreased while demand has started to increase and crude oil prices have been fluctuating. Combined, these factors are driving up gas prices across the country. North Carolina’s $2.38 average is up eight cents on the week and 23 cents on the month. South Carolina’s $2.24 average is also up eight

cents on the week, but up 25 cents on the month. “Motorists across the Carolinas are paying the highest prices so far in 2019,” said Tiffany Wright, AAA Carolinas spokesperson. “These averages are just pennies less than this time last year. We expect pump prices to continue to increase in the coming weeks, but we do not expect to see 2019’s high reach the highs of 2018.”

Last week was National School Social Work Week and Pinewood is grateful for Ms. Millen (center), the school social worker. She’s seen with principal Tyler West (left) and assistant principal Kristen Haskett. Ms. Millen serves as an important link between a student’s family and the school by working with parents/guardians, teachers, and others to help students reach their academic potential and accomplish their goals. She also offers assistance to students who may be dealing with challenges that hinder their academic performance in school. Gaston Schools photo

LOOKING BACK:

GC The Book Bug Gaston is looking back to the 1996-1997 school year when “GC the Book Bug” was the most popular person in Gaston County Schools. “GC” was the mascot for a community-wide reading campaign that encouraged students to pick up a book and read. He made guest appearances at schools and presented certificates to students for their great reading achievements. “GC the Book Bug” came out of retirement this year to help celebrate the “Big 50 Anniversary” of Gaston County Schools. If you were at the “Big 50 Parade” in September, you saw “GC” on the last float with the Pleasant Ridge Elementary band. “GC” also made a guest appearance in January at the Gaston County Schools Spelling Bee to greet each school-level spelling champion. Before the 50th anniversary celebration comes to a close, “GC the Book Bug” has a few more surprise appearances on his calendar so be looking for him. Gaston Schools photo
