Cramerton gets new and dramatic mural By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

What do you get when you team up a stunning graphic image of the greatest WWII fighter plane with references to the greatest cloth made for our troops in that same conflict? Answer- the new mural that was just installed in downtown Cramerton. The large image on the side of the Design Tech (former BB&T) building at 109 Center St. depicts a North American P-51 fighter plane in the background, a Women Air Force Service pilot (WASP) walking away from it after landing, and a pilot telling another one a flying story with his hands. All three figures are dressed in uniforms of khaki cloth, made in Cramerton of course. Rounding out the mural scene are several crates marked with the Crameron cloth logo as well as a quote by Maj. Gen.

Edmund Gregory from a speech he gave on Sept. 18, 1942 when Cramerton Mills was awarded the Army-Navy E Production Award for the quality and quantity of khaki cloth it had churned out. Cramerton Army Cloth, an 8.2 ounce twill fabric, was developed by Major Stuart W. Cramer, Jr. following his retirement from the U.S. Army in 1922. Cramerton Mills was awarded the first contract to manufacture the fabric in 1929. Due to its durability and comfort, Cramerton Army Cloth became the standard uniform cloth for the military during WWII and for many decades following. In 1942, Cramerton Mills received the Army-Navy “E” Award for Excellence recognizing the company’s achievement in production of the fabric. Veterans returning home continued to wear their See MURAL, Page 8

Jonathan and Paris Wilson of Design Tech are proud to have the new Cramerton mural on the side of the building they rent at 109 Center St.

Pearl Harbor survivor from Belmont passes away By Stan Cromlish Special to BannerNews

Members of the Greatest Generation and veterans of World War II have been passing away lately with an increased frequency, and this week was not much different. On Monday, March 19, 2019, Pearl Harbor survivor Gene Reinhardt of Belmont, died at 97 years young, leaving behind his wife of seventy years, Mary Ella, and a grateful nation. Numbers vary, but now there could be as few as 1,000 Pearl Harbor survivors still living. Gene served in the United States Army during World War II. He was born in Shelby, North Carolina on September 2, 1921 to James Obie and Emma Hendrix Reinhardt. In 1938 or 1939, Gene told me his uncle came home from Hawaii talking about getting paid by the US Army to serve in paradise.

A piece of heavy equipment made scrap metal out of the last rail car on the siding next to South Main Cycles in downtown Belmont last Monday. Gene Reinhardt On January 19, 1940, Thomas Eugene “Gene” Reinhardt enlisted in the United States Army with the idea that he would spend two years overseas in Hawaii to satisfy the three-year enlistment required by the pre-war military. In April 1940, Gene was shipped to Hawaii where he volunteered for the 24th Division Signal Corps and

was assigned to the brandnew Schofield Barracks. In January 2015, I sat down with Gene and recorded an oral history. “Hawaii was a paradise during the pre-war period, and with very little happening, the Army had to keep us busy, Gene said. “We sodded See PEARL HARBOR, Page 2

Last Belmont rail car is no more The last remaining railroad car on the siding at the former railroad depot- currently South Main Cycles and Mugshots Coffee- in downtown Belmont was demolished last Monday. South Main Cycles owner Steve Pepitone had tried for sev-

eral years to get a buyer for the car. “Today we are beginning the process of removing the final rail car located on the property at 4 North Main Street, Belmont,” Pepitone said Monday morning. “Despite all efforts to sell the rail

car, we have been unsuccessful in finding a buyer. While we have had many interested buyers over the course of the past few years, the cost to transport the rail car has proven cost prohibitive. The rail car is being removed to See RAIL CAR, Page 2

Crowders Mountain State Park prescribed burns The NC Division of Parks and Recreation plans to conduct multiple prescribed burns at Crowders Mountain State Park from early March through April. According to Park Superintendent Glen George, the specific dates of the burns will depend on local weather conditions. The prescribed burns will be conducted in sections totaling approximately 200 to 600 acres at the park’s Sparrow Springs Access Area. Some visitor areas and trails may be temporarily closed during prescribed burns. Prescribed burns are used as a resource management tool in many locations by the

state parks system. Some plant communities and animal species rely on periodic fire for their existence. The prescribed burns also reduce the amount of potential wildfire fuel and help protect a park’s resources and neighboring landowners if lightning, arson, or carelessness sparks a wildfire. In order to minimize smoke and assure the fire is controlled, the prescribed burn will only be carried out under strictly defined weather conditions of a fire management plan. On the selected day, the burn will begin in the late morning and will likely end by mid-afternoon.

From the time he left the Army until his death last week, Gene lived, laughed, and loved life and his family fully. His family, Mary Ella, daughters, Sandra and Wanda, his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren meant everything to him. In his memorial service on Saturday, March 23, his grandchildren shared fond memories of their ‘Granddaddy.’ His love of family shone brightly during their remembrances. Gene, like many of his fellow Pearl Harbor Survivors and generation, would never call himself a hero, but the men and women who served and sacrificed during the Great Depression and World War II are all heroes for what

they witnessed, endured, and overcame. Let us never forget their sacrifice. Editor’s Note: Cromlish has spent the past three Decembers visiting Pearl Harbor, Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, and the Punchbowl National Cemetery to record the history of those men and women whose memories of that fateful Sunday are still fresh, even 77 years later. With an invite from USS Arizona Survivor, Lt. Cmdr. Lou Conter (ret.), Cromlish plans to attend the 78th Remembrance of the Attack and will once again drop flowers in the waters Pearl Harbor in honor and memory of all those who served.

PEARL HARBOR From Page 1 Australia to take the fight to the Japanese. Gene saw combat on Hollandia and made two island invasions during his time in the Signal Corps. In August 1943, Gene was discharged from the United States Army at Fort Bragg with only bus fare back home to Shelby. In the wide-ranging conversation we had, Gene talked about coming to Belmont in 1955 and building the house that he and Mary Ella shared for 64 years in Amity Acres. They would travel the country as part of the Airstream Club and Motor Home Club. Gene made several trips back to Hawaii to remember those who made the supreme sacrifice on that “date which will live in infamy”. He was an active member of the Belmont Lodge #627 A. F. & A. M. and was a member of the World War II Last Man Club of Gaston County. At First Baptist Church, he served as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, mentor, and friend to many members of the church.

ship.” The electric locomotive and caboose that were also on the siding with the rail car were sold in February 2016. The cars were loaded on flat bed trucks and taken away. Hunter McMillan, who owns McMillan Crane Service in Dallas, brought two cranes to Glenway St., picked the cars up one at a time, and hauled them to his base of operations. McMillan also removed the bogey wheels and a section of track and took them to Dallas for the cars to sit on there.

the area in front of our brandnew white barracks with squares of grass.” Hawaii was truly a paradise for Gene. “With a promotion to PFC (Private First Class), I bought a ’28 or ’29 Nash Touring car,” he recalled. “On payday, we’d fill it up with gas and tool down to Honolulu and see the sights.” The best laid plans are sometimes derailed by things beyond an individual’s control, and Gene’s life was changed on December 7, 1941. When Japan attacked the island of Oahu and Pearl Harbor on that fateful Sunday, the United States and Gene Reinhardt were flung headlong into war. “I heard the first bomb, heard the second bomb, and saw the third bomb dropped that started World War II,” he said. “They hit us at Schofield Barracks before they hit the ships at Pearl Harbor.” Once the smoke cleared and the damage was assessed, the 24th Division and its Signal Corps Unit was sent to

an important first step. The rail car was acquired as part of the purchase of the Piedmont and Northern Railway Depot in 2014. The railcar was added to the property in the mid-2000’s by the previous owner. Built in 1955 by the Pullman Company as a six double bedroom/buffet/ lounge car for service between Boston & Washington, became the property of Penn Central after the New Haven was merged into Penn Central, and eventually became the property of Amtrak who retired Keystone State and sold it into private owner-

A Message from Danny Jackson, Mt. Holly City Manager Hello Citizens. Hope all is well with you these days. I hope you are looking forward to the springtime of the year as it is just around the corner. Speaking of springtime, it marks the beginning of our Special Events Season for the calendar year. The season officially begins in April with a Summer Concert in our downtown. Please look for publications of the city’s 2019 Special Events Calendar in various locations. This year you will also see some new events and some in new locations. More specifically, we are planning to have some local talent perform at Tuckaseege Park (Saturday, October 19) as opposed to the

more common Friday night downtown events. Please know that as the city continues to grow we are always open to suggestion as to how we can improve the process by which what we offer to our citizens can be enhanced when appropriate. Therefore, please feel free to express yourself when you deem it necessary as it relates to the circumstance. We always attempt to provide opportunities for our citizens and the community at large to enjoy various events throughout the year that speak to a high quality of life. We also realize that not everyone will agree with everything that we do, and we respect that fact.

The city’s special events not only serve the purpose of entertaining our own citizens; it also impacts the local economy positively in more ways than one. The special events are a part of an over-all approach to recruitment and retention from a marketing perspective. Please know that we do not take such matters for granted and will always be open to improvement. We are not complacent when it comes to customer service for our community. Thank you for always allowing me to inform you about what we do at the City of Mount Holly and how it might impact you.

Belmont Historical Society hosts Montcross Chamber Montcross Area Chamber members and friends of all ages came out last Thursday when Belmont Historical Society hosted a Network After Work reception at the Cultural and Heritage Learning Center at 40 Catawba Street in Belmont. BHS President Stan Cromlish welcomed guests in a 120-year-old house filled with thousands of historic treasures. Some of those featured were vintage garments, hats and jewelry from the 1920s made by Melva Gullick Neal, who later was principal at Belmont Central Elementary. Tours were conducted of the restored and furnished 1920s mill village house. Historical Society volunteers were stationed in each room to answer questions. The arrowhead and artifacts collection donated by local historian Jack Page, who was on hand to talk about his finds, was popular with young and old alike. Belmont Historical Society motto is: “Preserving the past for the sake of the future.” John Jacob photo

Each of us can think of someone we know who loves to help others. Perhaps it is one of those people who you could call on no matter what time, day or night. People like that are great. They love the Lord and everyone they meet. They love to serve others. Now, think about Jesus for a moment. I am sure many images come to mind. We think of the shepherd with the sheep, or perhaps Jesus on the cross. Have you ever thought of Jesus as a servant? Jesus teaches each of us to be servants to one another, following His example. John 13:1-17, records one of the greatest examples of service Jesus teaches us, the washing of the disciples’ feet. Before Jesus went to the cross, He gathered to celebrate the Passover season with His disciples. After they ate a meal together, Jesus took a towel and a basin of water, and began to wash the disciples’ feet. This would have been unheard of for the host of a dinner to wash feet, as feet washing was considered a lowly job reserved for the servants. Jesus washed each disciple’s feet, including Judas who would betray Him soon. When He came to Peter, Peter attempted to stop Jesus, while trying to appear noble, yet Jesus reminded him he must allow Him to serve him. After Jesus finished, He

told the disciples He was giving them an example to serve. Jesus was their Lord, yet He served them. They were to serve others as well. Rev. Trent Tankin Just as Jesus gave His disciples an example of service, we are called to serve Him as well. We are to serve each other. Take a moment to help someone in need, and show the love of Christ to a friend, family member, or coworker. We are also called to serve those who need Jesus. We cannot serve only those we know, we must also go outside our churches and homes and serve those around us who need Jesus Christ. We also need to let someone serve us too. Many times, when we are in need, we respond like Peter, and let our pride get in the way. May we let someone serve us. Someone may be seeking to help you today. We must always remember that true disciples of Jesus Christ serve. Jesus served others. He taught His disciples to serve, and He is calling you to serve someone today. As a Christian, are you serving today? Are you active in your local church, and active in your community? As followers of Jesus, our service is a natural outflowing of the love of Christ in us. Take some time this week to serve those around you. You may very well plant the seeds of salvation in someone you serve!

Gas prices continue to rise Gas prices have gone up another nickel on the week across the Carolinas and most motorists are paying more at the pump than they were this time last year. North Carolina’s $2.46 average is up five cents on the week, 19 cents on the month and is two cents more than this time last year. South Carolina’s $2.33 average is also up five cents on the week, 11 cents on the month and

motorists are paying a penny more to fill up than they were this time last year.” “Since early February, gasoline demand has been steadily increasing while stocks have been gradually decreasing causing more expensive pump prices across the country,” said Tiffany Wright, AAA Carolinas spokesperson. “This week, we officially passed last year’s prices.”

Gaston County begins architectural survey update of Dallas Gaston County has been awarded a 2018 federal Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). The grant award is $6,000 and is matched by the Town of Dallas for a total project budget of $10,000. The funds will be used to resurvey historic properties within the National Register of Historic Places Historic District in Dallas, and to conduct a new survey of historic buildings outside the district. The county has hired Landmark Preservation Associates, a Lexington, Virginia-based cultural resources consulting firm, to complete the project. Dan Pezzoni, a principal of the firm, is the Project Manager. Scheduled for completion in fall 2019, the project involves the update or creation of approximately 100 survey files for resources built prior to 1975. Mr. Pezzoni will be in Dallas on March 21 for a public kickoff meeting introducing the project, scheduled for 6 p.m. in the Community Room of the Dallas Fire Department, 209 W. Main St. Mr. Pezzoni will return to Dallas between March and June 2019 to conduct fieldwork. He also will meet with representatives of the town and local historians, and local leaders have agreed to form a committee of subject-matter experts to advise his research. In addition to documenting properties with photographs,

ings and will aid in planning for future economic and community development projects. Survey products also will be useful for the continued development of heritage tourism programs in Dallas. For more information on the architectural survey update of Dallas, contact

The Historic Courthouse in Dallas, NC written descriptions, and oral and archival history, Mr. Pezzoni will identify properties that appear to be potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as districts, and thus potentially eligible for state and federal tax credits for certified historic rehabilitation.

The project will culminate in a brief final report that analyzes the history of Dallas through the lens of its historic architecture. The Dallas Historic District, bounded by Holland, Main, Gaston, and Trade streets, was enrolled in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and additional documentation of the district was submitted to the Keeper of the National Register in 1996. Mr. Pezzoni’s project will lay the groundwork to

update the historic district nomination, if desired. At the conclusion of the project, the HPO will share the digital files with the county and municipal government. Public access to the information will be available through HPOWEB, the HPO’s geographic information system, which is accessible online at http://gis.ncdcr. gov/hpoweb/. The survey material will facilitate the environmental review necessary for state and federal undertak-

Gaston Schools online classes offered Do you know someone who has a child who is homeschooled or takes classes through an online school? If so, tell them about the awesome online school offered by Gaston County Schools. The Gaston County Virtual Academy offers a variety of online classes for students in grade 3-10. Students have personalized learning with a flexible schedule – no inperson or group meetings are required, which puts you and your child in control of the schedule. Plus, there are optional elective and enrichment activities that give stu-

dents in the Virtual Academy an opportunity to spend time with their peers. GCS is enrolling students now for August 2019, and there is no charge to attend. This school option is perfect for homeschool students who want to take advanced and college prep courses without having to pay for them. Students who are N.C. residents but live outside Gaston County can attend, too. For more information and to enroll, call (704) 836-9125 or visit www.gaston.k12. nc.us/virtualacademy.

As you can tell from their shirts, Ms. Karen Coffey’s 2nd grade class at McAdenville Elementary School had a recent project called We Heart Reading. Last year the school conducted a We Heart Books Campaign. It was a great success and the school went from a poor selection of books to a wide variety thanks to a lot of local businesses, generous individuals, the PTO, and the McAdenville Woman’s Club. Ms. Coffey’s class was split into groups. Each group was able to pick a subject and have 10 or more books in their category to read and complete a museum type exhibit for folks to come and enjoy on Wednesday, March 20. Each display had the students manning them to answer questions, explain what their subject had been, and to show how much the books did for them. Photo by Roxann Rankin

The quote from Major General Edmund Gregory on the mural. Photos by Alan Hodge

MURAL From Page 1 khaki trousers as an everyday garment of civilian life. Most murals are painted, but the one in Cramerton was applied by Mooresvillebased Fast Signs. The mural came in rolls of vinyl with the image printed on them. Workers positioned the squares on the side of the building, then pressed a hot iron to them. This caused the pieces to shrink and adhere to the bricks with a strong bond. The result is a seamless image that will last for many years. The mural image was created by Bizzell Design, also of Mooresville. Total cost of the mural was in the neighborhood of $15,000. The Town of Cramerton will pay around 80 percent with the remainder of the tab being picked up by an anonymous, public art-loving local couple. The mural is just about 20 yards from the other downtown Cramerton artwork, the statue of a soldier and young girl, that was dedicated last year with a huge patriotic turnout of veterans and citizens. The statue also celebrated Cramerton’s WWII khaki cloth contribution to the war effort and is part of a veterans memorial plaza. Folks with a sharp eye will notice the tail number on the P-51 is 111018 for November 11, 2018, the date the statue and plaza dedication event took place. Cramerton mayor Will Cauthen expressed appreciation for the project and explained its concept and symbolism. “I could not be more pleased with the finished product,” he said. “Everyone involved in this project had a great deal of passion for it, and the mural really reflects that. Not only does it add beauty to our wonderful town center, but it also informs and educates visitors and residents alike about our rich textile and military history. We always discussed having an image that was reminiscent of 1940s

Tri-County Animal Rescue:

Pets of the Week The featured pet for this week is a Shih Tzu mix named Maggie. She is three years old and weighs 18 pounds. Maggie should not get any bigger. She has beautiful long silky hair which will need grooming several times a year. Maggie was in a home with other dogs but the landlord said several had to go. She is good with other dogs but is shy with new people. Maggie will need at least a week to come out of her shell so please Maggie have patience with her. She is a beautiful little girl that loves to be snuggled. Maggie is current on his parvo/ distemper vaccine, micro-chipped, spayed, heartworm negative and current rabies vaccine. The Shih Tzu mix has long been a popular designer breed. Known for its adorable roundish face, this hybrid originated in the United States and is known to be quietly affectionate. Many dog lovers have a weakness for its adorable cute, floppy ears if it takes after its Shih Tzu parent. In addition, because of their adaptability and size, they also make good apartment dogs. Just remember though, some owners describe the Shih Tzu as a shy character if not properly given the chance to socialize and mingle with other humans or dogs. So take a walk in the park, and this way you’ll both get the exercise and interaction you need. Tri-County Animal Rescue BIG DOG Pet of the Week is this very overweight Australian Shepherd named Bear. He is 8 years old and is starting to get around much better than when he first came into our program. Bear’s owner passed away about 2 months ago leaving Bear homeless. His owner loved him with food! Bear weighs about 115 pounds and should weigh about 50 pounds. He is already working on his exercise/diet routine and has lost about 10-15 pounds. He is good with everyone including other pets. Bear is looking for a walking partner. So, if you need a man to walk around with…come on out Saturday and get Bear. Bear is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm negative and micro-chipped. He will be looking for you this weekend! The Australian shepherd has a great deal of stamina and is loving, bold, alert, confident, independent, smart and responsive. If it doesn’t get a chance to exercise and challenge its strongly developed mental and physical activities, it is apt to become frustrated and difficult to live with. With proper exercise and training, it is a loyal, utterly devoted and obedient companion. It is reserved with strangers and has a protective nature. It may try to herd children and small animals by nipping. Please come out to our adoption event this weekend. If you are looking for an addition to your family, please come out and meet our pets this weekend. We have many available pets at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this

PTO meets need... The PTO at Robinson Elementary School in Gastonia held a donation drive for Tri-County Animal Rescue. They provided dog food, cat food, dog toys, dog beds and cleaning supplies. In addition, the Girl Scout Troop 1903 made crate beds for dogs and cats for the donation drive. What an awesome group of caring families and kids.

Fire Service is Harmon’s passion

Fire service is Tommy Harmon’s passion and for him it is a calling. “God places me where He needs me,’’ says the Rutherford County fireman who recently joined the Kings Mountain Fire Department as Assistant Chief. “We’re glad to welcome Tommy into our fire department family,’’ said Chief Frank Burns.

He travels 80 miles to work every day. “I like the interaction with the guys who work in fire departments and in the classroom and I want my students to make a difference in people’s lives,’’ says Tommy, who at age 49 has racked up 31 years of See HARMON, Page 7A

RESTORING STAIN GLASS WINDOW – Jacques Everson is pictured in his art studio on West Mountain Street restoring a 1918 stained glass window that hung in a church in Gastonia. Story and Photo by LIB STEWART

Artist loves what he does and does what

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

he loves

ford said. Right now Cramer is 5-5 overall and 2-4 on Big South 3A action. The Storm are a young team. They are still trying to figure all out. With that said, it’s fair to say that they are moving in the right direction and have made significant progress. “We have a lot of inexperience,” coach Radford explained. “So we are working on it game-by-game. We need to work on our hitting more.” Cramer will be busy this week with three games. This week the Storm have two conference games at home when they play Forestview and Kings Mountain. In between those games will be a road trip to Mallard Creek where Cramer will take on the Mavericks of the I-Meck 4A Conference.

Meditations The Lenten season I started my Lenten journey a couple of weeks ago with Ash Wednesday. I remember the words the minister spoke while making the sign of the cross on my forehead with the ashes. He said, “From ashes, you come, and to ashes, you shall return. Repent and believe the gospel.” With the ashes still on my forehead, I returned home to quiet contemplation. Lent is my favorite time on the Christian calendar. Introverts often enjoy this quiet reflection. The season draws us inward to a time of self-awareness before God. Lent reminds us of our finiteness and our complete dependence upon God. “’My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” II Corinthians 12:9b-10 ESV. Where is God leading my focus this Lenten season? I am not one of those who rush to give up something for Lent. I never saw a purpose or transformation in that for me. But, I do feel called to a place of dormancy. Yes, dormancy. Often when we think of dormancy, we think of something not growing. But, there is another word for dormancy, and it is expectancy. In late winter when bulbs are planted underground, on the surface, it seems nothing is happening, but underneath there is something

significant happening. The bulbs planted is going through dormancy which is crucial for their coming to Rev. Angela Pleasants full bloom in the District spring. As they are Superintendent underground, they of Catawba Valley are soaking up all Methodist Churches the nutrients needed for fruit-bearing. When spring fully arrives, we will see the beauty of all the underground work. Lent for me this season will be a time of dormancy. It will be a time of quiet reflection. On the surface, it may look like nothing is going on, but I know there is a work beneath the surface God will be performing. I may be dormant, but God will be active. And, come Resurrection Sunday morning, what a beautiful work of God to behold. In my Lenten prayer, I am asking God to align my life that I may reflect his passion completely. I am praying that God’s mission shapes my life. And may I always manifest God’s name to the world by living and speaking his words so that people will see God in and through me. What are you expecting during this season of Lent? How will God lead you? Join me this Lenten season as we go before God. Allow God to perform his pruning work during your time of dormancy as we prepare for Resurrection Sunday.

The Cramer Storm baseball team started their conference matchup against Hunter Huss by belting out three runs in the first inning and another three in the second. After that the Huskies just didn’t stand a chance. Cramer put Cameron Cook on the mound to face Huss. Cook pitched five innings and turned in a standout performance. While on the mound, Cook fanned seven Husky batters and ended up pitching a two-hitter. “He pitched a good game,” head coach Terry Radford said of Cook’s performance. “He gave a solid effort, and he threw strikes.” The Cramer defense did a good job backing Cook up. The Storm only committed two errors.

Early on it was definitely looking like Cramer was going to have a good night. As the game progressed that trend continued. So with Cook and the defense holding their own, the Cramer bats continued to push runners and rake up hits. Cramer batters had a pretty good run against Huss, Storm batters got 10 hits off of two different Husky pitchers. “We came out and had some timely hits,” coach Radford said. We had some kids who got some hits.” Cramer’s top batters were Noah Fox, Jonathan Graves, and Cutter Foulk. Foulk went three for three with an RBI. Graves had two hits and three RBIs, while Fox ended the evening with two hits and two RBIs. “Overall we played a pretty good ball game,” Rad-

Abbey baseball sweeps Southern Wesleyan The Belmont Abbey Crusaders completed their first Conference Carolinas sweep of the season defeating Southern Wesleyan in both games last Saturday. Jakob Rolly (pictured) had four hits in the day with two home runs, a triple, and a double driving in six runs. Ben Gobbel recorded five hits with an RBI and two runs scored. The Abbey improves to 15-18 on the Yer with a 7-9 league record. Southern Wesleyan moves to 12-18 on the year with a 4-10 conference record.

GAME ONE Belmont Abbey 9, SWU 7 Belmont Abbey rallied from 6-5 deficit with three runs in the fourth to take the opener. Jakob Rolly went three-for-four with six runs batted in, while scoring twice.

Ben Gobbel also tallied three hits and scored twice, while Mason Dodd had a pair of hits and an RBI. Belmont Abbey

jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first, then answered a Warrior run in the third with two of its own in the bottom of the frame.

Abbey softball falls short against Southern Wesleyan Freshman Hailey Gass had five hits in seven at-bats Saturday, highlighting Belmont Abbey’s performance in a Conference Carolinas doubleheader against Southern Wesleyan on Saturday. The Warriors won both games, however, taking the first 8-0 in six innings before rallying for a 5-4 win in the nightcap. Belmont Abbey falls to 13-15 overall and 3-5 in league play, while Southern Wesleyan advances to 11-15, 4-6. GAME ONE Gass had a pair of singles for her fourth multi-hit game of the season. Claire Doyle doubled and Melissa Neyhouse and Payton Whitley each had hits. Southern Wesleyan plated a run in the second before adding five in the third, primarily on the strength of a three-run homer. Single runs in the fifth and sixth ended the game early. Starter Annabeth Watkins (7-7) took the loss, allowing four runs on five hits over two innings. Delanie Laudenbacher (4-6) pitched a complete-game shutout for the Warriors. She walked four and struck out four. GAME TWO Gass went 3-for-4 with an RBI, recording at least two hits for the fifth time this year. Peyton Wilson and Brianna Embler registered two hits each for the Crusaders,

who totaled 11 in the contest. Southern Wesleyan struck for a sacrifice fly in the first, but The Abbey answered with a three-run second. Three straight singles with one out, the last by Alexis Rogers, tied the score at 1. After another single loaded the bases, Doyle flied out to right before Gass reached on an infield hit. But the Warriors delivered a pair of two-run doubles, one in the third to tie the game and another in the fourth to move back in front. The Abbey tried to rally, putting runners

on the corners with one out in the sixth. Neyhouse drove in a run on a flyball to left, but the tying run was left at second by an outstanding play on a comebacker to Ashton Martin. Belmont Abbey starter Ivorie Maltby struck out seven, but allowed five runs (three earned) in 5.1 innings. She falls to 4-6 with the loss. Martin evened her record at 6-6 with the win, while Emma Collins pitched the seventh for her second save.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Lady Raiders beat Forestview 5-1 for first win By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

South Point softball got their first win of the year by beating Forestview 5-1. It took a while for the Lady Raiders to get that win. South Point was 0-6 before the match up against Lady Jaguars. Up to that game, things had been rough for the Lady Raiders. All year South Point had been battling mistakes and inexperience. However, to get that first win South Point didn’t wave a magic wand or do anything flashy. This win came the old fashioned way. The Lady Raiders won by playing fundamentally sound softball. Against Forestview, South Point focused on the basics. The Lady Raiders only generated five hits, but they used smart base-running to advance runners into scoring position. Lexy Henson was South Point’s top batter. Henson had one hit and two RBIs. The South Point bats didn’t light anything on fire but the team played smart and limited their mistakes on defense. “Our biggest thing is making routine plays,” head coach Leah Brooks explained. “It starts with step one, which is ball first.” The ball first concept is all about softball common sense. It means that before a player can do anything they have to make sure that they have the ball. You can’t let the ball get by you. In other words, you have to learn to walk before you can run. “For us being so young, we sometimes forget we have to have the ball before we make the play,” Brooks

added. Against the Lady Jags, the Red Raiders only committed two errors. The infield delivered a solid performance. “In the Forestview game, we made the routine plays we needed to make,” Brooks went on to say. The play of the infield definitely helped sophomore pitcher Haley Franks. Franks played hard and her teammates backed her up. “Franks only gave up three hits,” coach Brooks said. “With us having a young pitcher it’s good to have players behind her.” Franks isn’t the only young starter for some point this year. The South Point roster is made up of mostly underclassmen. “We are very young,” coach Brooks noted. We’re starting three freshmen and four sophomores.” Getting the first win was definitely an ice breaker. It gave the players a chance to begin to believe in themselves. That newfound confidence was immediately put to the test when after beating Forestview the Lady Raiders lined up against Shelby. Only three days before Shelby shellacked South Point 11-1. In the rematch, the Lady Raiders played a lot better. South Point still lost, but the score was respectable 12-7. If the young Lady Raiders continue to focus on the basics and take one game at a time it won’t be long before they start notching a lot more wins.

students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

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.

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,
