Stanley hires new fire chief By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
The Town of Stanley has hired Eric Withers as its new fire chief. “I am excited at being selected for the job and look forward to meeting the challenges associated with it,” Withers said. “I am also excited to meet the other members of the team as well as the firefighters and working with
them towards the vision of making Stanley a better and safer town.” Stanley town manager Heath Jenkins had this to say about Withers. “I have no doubt that Chief Withers is the right person for the job, for the right reasons at the right time,” said Jenkins. “Like the entire eastern side of Gaston County, Stanley is experiencing modest resi-
dential growth with new subdivisions, thus an increase in calls for service. The Town’s fire department has historically been a predominantly volunteer organization and the Town is in need of more volunteers to staff the department. We believe Chief Withers, because of his reputation and connections with many firefighters across the region, See CHIEF, Page 2 Eric Withers has been hired as the new fire chief in Stanley.

Belmont Historical Society Museum ready for spring action By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
After several months of refitting and refurbishing, the Belmont Historical Society Museum at 40 Catawba St.
is back up to speed and ready for spring presentations and events. The BHS museum is located in the circa 1899 Robert Lee Stowe Sr. house. Time and water took its toll
on the structure so last year major repair work had to be done to the floor and beams in one of the display rooms. The cement ramp and steps on that corner of the house See SOCIETY, Page 2
The City of Belmont is joining the movement to get more public art in town. “The Belmont Main Street Advisory Board’s Design Committee & Downtown Belmont Development Association (DBDA) is seeking artists, photographers, designers or artist teams, to create art for a new box wrap public art initiative,” said Angela Street, Chairman of the Design Committee. “The works will be located across the three Belmont districts. Selected art, photographic works or designs, will be printed on high quality vinyl wraps which will be professionally installed on various electrical, utility and traffic signal boxes. Seven art works will be selected from the submissions. The selected art works will help visualize and demonstrate district identity and beautify public spaces.” This box in Morehead City shows how a wrap can transform a According to Street, this utilitarian object into one of beauty.

Several areas of the museum’s exterior were also in need of work and that was carried out by historic architecture preservationist Bill Bridgeman. To go with the freshened up building, a new display has been put together by BHS members. The theme is “Welcome to the 1920s”. “We were given or loaned a wide variety of clothes, ac-
CHIEF From Page 1 will be successful in recruiting qualified and professional volunteers to help the community meet its staffing needs. Chief Withers has also been successful in other departments he has operated in recruiting and retaining volunteers and part-time staff. He is extremely capable in rallying those around him to provide their time and talents to help our fire department protect our citizens and property. He is also qualified to strike a balance between the financial support and need of the department with the limited revenues created by property taxes paid by its citizens. Public safety is an extremely expensive aspect of the Town’s overall budget, but it is also one of the most important. This is where someone with Chief Withers common sense and intellect will allow for a fair and professional approach. We look forward to a new day under Mr. Withers leadership. I have no doubt the Town will be successful as it moves forward to provide protection for the citizens in which it serves.” Withers is currently a battalion chief for the Charlotte Fire Department and has been employed by CFD since 2000. He also is currently the part time chief of the Crowders Mountain Fire and Rescue and has been employed in that capacity since June of 2001. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Service Administration from

cessories, and other items from the 1920s that were made or owned by Belmont residents,” said BHS member Elizabeth Atterberry. Several of the items are dresses made by Melva Gullick. The dresses are crafted from delicate white cloth and have a diaphanous look about them. “Besides making clothes, she was also a math teacher at Belmont Central and Belmont High schools,” said BHS member Gearl Dean Page. Other 1920s items on display include hats, furniture,
costume jewelry, handbags, and perfume bottles. There’s also a 1920s baby doll and buggy that belonged to Marjorie Goins as well as her 1922 christening gown. Overall, the 1920s displays will give visitors a nice look at how local folks lived during the Jazz Age. In addition to the 1920s displays, the museum still features its Belmont Sports hall of Fame as well as materials and artifacts representing military service by local veterans. In addition to the main museum, Parkdale Mills do-
nated an original mill house which was moved to the site from the Acme Mill Village. It has been furnished like a typical mill house would have been in the 1920s-1930s. It was named the Yates Abernathy House in honor of Mr. Yates Abernathy who led the effort to acquire it and restore it in an authentic fashion. A third building to be viewed is the restored 1899 freestanding kitchen building which originally served the R.L. Stowe, Sr. family. With warmer weather finally creeping in, the BHS has a variety of programs and
Fayetteville State University, and an Associate’s Degree in Fire-Protection Technology from Gaston College. He is a highly trained firefighter with certifications in all aspects of fire science and emergency medical services. He is a certified emergency medical technician, certified in national incident management, emergency management, hazardous materials, a certified instructor, and many other certifications and training accomplishments. Withers is also the recipient of the “Medal of Valor” from the Charlotte Fire Department, among other citations. He is also the recipient of the Firehouse.com “Medal of Heroism”. He also serves as a member of the board of directors for Dallas Rescue Squad and a part-time instructor for Gaston College. Withers comes highly recommended from his colleagues in the fire industry, as well as former and current employers. He is described as an honest visionary leader with integrity and respect for his subordinates and the various leaders and boards he has worked for. Withers will have full chief responsibilities in Stanley, but the number of hours he will work will be part time. Withers replaces Will Keller who resigned effective October 31, 2018 and still serves full-time as a captain for the City of Charlotte and part-time for the Town of Davidson fire departments. “Chief Keller helped turn the Stanley fire department around and his leadership made it the department that it is today. Interim chief Michael Hullett and deputy
chief Ashley Price have done an excellent job managing the department in between chief Keller’s departure and the arrival of chief Withers,” said Stanley town clerk Catherine Greder. “Both have stepped up and dedicated a significant amount of time to
running the department, all while juggling their full-time positions elsewhere and family. We are fortunate to have great employees and great leadership at the Stanley fire department. Every member of the department is committed to the community.”

City of Mount Holly to host ‘Bike Mount Holly’ Open House April 18 A group of dedicated individuals including City employees, community members, and members of the Kimley-Horn planning and design engineering consulting team have been working on a project called Bike Mount Holly. This Comprehensive Bicycle Plan has been assessing current bicycle conditions, identifying on-going
needs, and recommending ways to make it safer and easier to bike in Mount Holly. This community-driven planning process included three key phases: Visioning and Needs, Analysis and Recommendations, and Documentation and Adoption. The Plan has been using existing data and public input to help build the foundation for coor-
dinated recommendations. The Mount Holly Comprehensive Bicycle Plan will provide the community a blueprint for creating a “bike”able community for everyone in Mount Holly. This process will conclude with an open house on Thursday, April 18, 2019 at the Mount Holly Municipal Complex. The goal of this
event is to walk the community through the various stages of the Bike Mount Holly plan. The interactive stations, provided for use by the attendees, are organized accordingly. Attendees will visit stations to learn more about the process, engagement results, recommendations, and priorities. Materials displayed
at the previous meetings will also be available. The open house will serve the following purposes: Educate participants on the planning process, including how community participation has been reflected in the plan. Introduce the plan’s recommendations and orient attendees on how the plan will be communicated. Create informed consent among the community as it relates to the plan, and gather feedback on communication of the final plan.
The open house will be held on Thursday, April 18 from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM in the Grand Hall of the Mount Holly Municipal Complex located at 400 E. Central Avenue, Mount Holly, NC 28120. This is a family-friendly event open to the public. For more information, please visit www.bikemountholly.com or contact Brian DuPont, Assistant Planning Director at (704) 951-3009 or brian.dupont@mtholly.us.
City of Belmont to host Summit Engage Belmont will be held on April 16th from 8:30 to 10:00 A.M. at TechWorks of Gaston County, 52 Ervin St. Belmont, as the City of Belmont and Motley make space for community informed development to take place. The event will showcase and celebrate exciting and innovative initiatives taking place in Belmont. All are welcome to attend this free event. The City of Belmont has partnered with Motley, a community development and placebased marketing firm, to host a summit that promotes engagement and active partnership between Belmont community members and local business owners. The event will also include announcing the winner of the Awesome Fund, an international movement that supports local investment to further placemaking and community development, and awesome things happening in the community. It begins with 10 people who want to each invest $100, making up a $1,000 fund. Awesome Fund projects are community-focused, Belmont specific, and accessible to the public. Applications for projects are being accepted until April 10 and can be found here. The panel discussion will include Danny Hayward with the Belmont Main Street Advisory Board, Michelle Nance with Centralina Council of Governments, Rob Presley
with Belmont Trolley, and Molly Ansbro, a locally engaged community member and operator of the Belmont Belles Instagram page. The keynote will be given by Chelsea Dickey and Blaine Williamson of Motley to further discuss concepts surrounding placemaking initiatives and place attachment specific to the Belmont community, economic development and how loving where you live affects our everyday lives by increasing living standards. Community members, business owners, community leaders, Belmont residents, and everyone in between are encouraged and invited to arrive at TechWorks for a time of coffee at networking beginning at 8 A.M. “Motley is excited to partner with the community of Belmont,” says Chelsea Dickey, Director of Economic Development for Motley. “There are so many amazing things going on in Belmont and we are excited to further the education and facilitation around placemaking initiatives in the area.”

UnitedHealthcare gives $36K to Mercy Housing to support low-income seniors UnitedHealthcare gave a $36,000 grant to Mercy Place Belmont, an independentliving apartment complex for low-income seniors. On April 5, UnitedHealthcare employee volunteers made improvements to the grounds at Mercy Place Belmont. These volunteers helped get the facility’s community gardens weeded, tilled and planted for spring, pressure-wash the retaining wall and stain the corral. UnitedHealthcare’s support will help Mercy Housing ensure that 40 seniors have an affordable place to call home at Mercy Place Belmont. Additionally, UnitedHealthcare’s funding will support resident services programming at the property that specifically focuses on the needs of seniors, including health and wellness and community engagement. Mercy Place Belmont serves residents earning below 50 percent of the area median income, and each resident pays only 30 percent of their income toward rent. The median resident income at this property is $17,316, significantly below the area median income of $60,314. “Our focus is to help people live healthier lives and help make the healthcare system work better for everyone,” said Tommy O’Connor, CEO, North Carolina, UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement. “In North Carolina, when you look at our aging population, the largest areas of opportunity are helping people feel connected to and supported by our local communities and making sure they have access to healthy food as they age. That’s what Mercy is doing every single day, so we are pleased to work with them to help expand those efforts here in the Belmont community.” “We are committed to

The community garden also serves as opportunity
to decrease social isolation and encourage communication and interaction amongst residents and their neighbors. This generous grant from UnitedHealthcare will help expand our gardens and create more opportunities for health and wellness education.”

It is finished! Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
If your kids are like mine, you have probably heard the word “why” more than once. Kids often ask why about almost anything. It may drive us a little crazy, yet that is how kids learn. Many times, we adults ask why about things as well. We may question the evil in our world, what God is doing, and many other things. We have now entered the Easter season. Many may wonder why Jesus had to die on the cross, or why is Easter so important? John 19:28-30 records the last moments of Jesus’ life before He died on the cross. After that last supper with His disciples, Jesus went to the garden to pray, and was arrested after Judas Iscariot betrayed Him. Jesus was led through several illegal trials, beaten severely, and finally condemned to die on the cross like a common criminal. As Jesus hung upon the cross, John records that He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30, NKJV). Jesus then bowed His head and died. On that Easter Sunday morning, He walked out of the grave alive! Why did Jesus have to die for us? We must remember that we are born in sin, it is our very nature. From the time Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, all people have been lost
in sin. Nothing we can do can remove that sin. Israel made sacrifices to God for their sins with the offering of a lamb, yet as soon as they offered a sin offer- Rev. Trent Tankin ing, they continued to sin again. Not only are we in sin, that sin must be punished. God hates sin, and sin calls for His judgement. Only one Lamb was perfect, a Lamb that could die once for all mankind. This Lamb would bear the sin and punishment of the whole world. That Lamb was Jesus Christ. Jesus had to die because He was the only One worthy to die for us. When Jesus said, “It is finished,” sin was defeated. When Jesus walked out of the grave alive that first Easter, death was defeated. All of our sin, all of the things we do against God, was nailed to the cross. Jesus paid the price for us. He bore our sin. He suffered our punishment. Jesus’ death and resurrection that first Easter is so important because it was for us. Jesus did it all for me, and you! We live today, we can find forgiveness for our sins today, because Jesus died on the cross and rose again. It is finished, sin is finished, because of Jesus!
Take precautions when ride-sharing AAA Carolinas is reminding motorists that although ride-sharing services are a safe and reliable alternative to driving intoxicated, it is important to take the proper precautions when using them. “A tragedy that hits close to home recently took place in Columbia, South Carolina involving the death of a young woman who mistakenly got into a vehicle thinking it was her Uber, said Tiffany Wright, President of AAA Carolinas Foundation for Traffic Safety. “We believe that ride-sharing services are a wonderful tool for
cutting down on drunk driving and getting people to and from places safely, and just like with other services, they should be used with caution.” When calling for a ridesharing service, such as Uber or Lyft, AAA Carolinas recommends: Check that the license plate, driver photo, driver name and vehicle description all match what is listed on the app before getting into the vehicle. Be vigilant when using the service and be aware of your surroundings upon entering and exiting the vehicle. If the app allows, share your route with friends. Some apps have
a “share status” in the app to share your driver’s name, photo, license plate and location with friends and family that allows them to track your trip and see your ETA. If the app does not have this, screenshot the details and send to someone. If you feel you are in an emergency situation, call 911 immediately. If you do not feel safe traveling alone or getting into a vehicle after you’ve been drinking, use the buddy-system with friends or consider the “pool” option on the app that picks up other passengers along the way.

Meet Levi Riding, for his 8th birthday he decided he didn’t want any gifts. Instead he wanted to collect donations for Tri-County Animal Rescue dogs and cats who were thrilled with the amount of food, toys, sheets, towels and cleaning supplies he collected. Everyone is so proud of this young man. Thank you Levi, you are awesome. Levi attends 2nd grade at Springfield Elementary School in Stanley. Photo by Joann Hager
Tri-County Animal Rescue:
Pets of the Week Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week is four very active Chihuahua/Terrier mixed puppies. Are you ready for some puppy breath? Then come on out this weekend and get a big dose of puppy love. They are 11 weeks old. We have four males. The babies have wiry hair so grooming is very simple…bath and brushing. They will be small as adults. They have had one puppy vaccine, neutered, several de-wormings and micro-chipped. Chihuahuas are comical, entertaining, and loyal little dogs. They are absolutely brimming with personality – often a quirky and eccentric personality unmatched by any other breed. Chihuahuas do seem to recognize and prefer their own breed, so it’s a great idea to keep two of them. They keep each other company when you’re gone, they play together, clean each other’s ears, and keep each other warm by snuggling together. If you want a dog that: is small and easy to carry, comes in several different coats and colors, is oh-so-funny and entertaining in quirky ways, is very loyal, travels well, doesn’t need much exercise, loves warm sunny climates, usually has a long lifespan…..then a Chihuahua may be right for you. 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 Saturday noon to 6 pm. About Tri-County Animal Rescue
Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties. We are committed to ending pet homelessness in this area and we need your continued support. If you cannot adopt a pet, then support Tri-County in other ways. We need volunteers and donations to continue our mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals. Please help Tri-County Animal Rescue continue to save pets by adopting your next pet this weekend? Our “needs” list includes: towels, Clorox, laundry detergent, paper towels, dry dog food and dry cat food. For more information, call 704.263.2444, send an email to TriCountyAnimalRescue@ yahoo.com, visit us on the web at www.tcar.us or on FaceBook at Tri-County Animal Rescue.

McAdenville Woman’s Club celebrates 65 years The McAdenville Woman’s Club turns 65 this year. While that, in and of itself, may not be more than a passing note of interest, what this club has done and continues to do, is. In 1954 a small group of women decided the time was right to form a club that could not only participate in community activities but could contribute to them as postwar McAdenville began a new era. From sponsoring beauty pageants, to honoring local girls and women for their civic involvement, this club came to hold a strong presence. A presence felt to this day as it evolves with each passing decade. The early years saw them raising funds by hosting
yearly bazaars and selling cookbooks. In 1990 they began selling ChristmasTown shirts and started a tradition that folks wait eagerly each year to purchase as they have now become collectors items. In 2013 the club started the ChristmasTown 5K. Partnering with Pharr Yarns and the Pharr Family YMCA, this race has become one of the most sought after 5K’s in the southeast. Proceeds from all fundraisers have ALWAYS gone to the benefit of those in need, beautification projects, and college scholarships, just to name a few. No matter the generation, a common thread runs through these women, altruism.
One former Miss McAdenville reminisced that “had it not been for the Woman’s Club a lot of the girls in town would have never been taught social graces and etiquette. They took the time to work with us to help us prepare for the pageant and life.” As the 2019 Woman’s Club prepares for another busy year, they are taking time out to celebrate and honor the legacy of the amazing women that have gone before them. On Saturday, May 18, they will be hosting a drop in tea from 1:00pm-3:00pm on DuPont Plaza at the Pharr Family YMCA in McAdenville. This afternoon is set aside for all former Junior Miss and Miss McAdenville’s,
2019 McAdenville Woman’s Club officers. Left to right: Summer Bachman, Shannon Martin, Kristin Turner, Ashley Westmoreland, and Linda Blackledge. Not pictured is Sandra Brittain. Girls and Women of the year, recipients of the Maxine Poarch college scholarships, and past club members to come visit, scroll through old photos, movies, memorabilia, and just enjoy the chance to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.
In keeping with the McAdenville tradition, all the businesses in town are participating to honor the club by offering specials throughout the day to the members and their guests. So, if you were a Junior Miss or Miss McAdenville,
Girl or Woman of the year, received a college scholarship, or was past member and you have NOT received an invitation, the club does not have your contact info and request that you contact them at 704-214-2784. See more on page 9

Cramerton and Belmont team up for Arbor Day By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Spring time weekend events started up last Saturday with Arbor Day in Belmont topping the list. The Town of Cramerton and City of Belmont teamed up again this year to celebrate Arbor Day. Each year for the past several years representatives from the two municipalities and other “green-minded” folks have gathered at a park to raise awareness of the importance of trees in our environment. This year it was at Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park in Belmont. In addition to the annual tree planting ceremony, the Arbor Day event saw a variety of ecologically friendly exhibits on display including beekeeping, crafts, and informational booths. Every year for over a decade, Belmont has met all four standards required to become a Tree City USA: A tree board or department responsible for the care of all trees on city-owned property; a tree care ordinance that provides good policy and serves as the foundation for a tree care program; an annual budget to support the tree program; and an annual Arbor Day program to celebrate the
benefits of city trees, such as providing clean air and clean water, decreasing soil erosion, providing shade, and increasing property values. Cramerton has also been named a Tree City USA community for a number of years. The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a Nebraska journalist and politician originally from Michigan. Throughout his long and productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as President Grover Cleveland’s Secretary of Agriculture. But his most impor-
tant legacy is Arbor Day. Morton felt that Nebraska’s landscape and economy would benefit from the wide-scale planting of trees. He set an example himself planting orchards, shade trees and wind breaks on his own farm and he urged his neighbors to follow suit. Morton’s real opportunity, though, arrived when he became a member of Nebraska’s state board of agriculture. He proposed that a special day be set aside dedicated to tree planting and increasing awareness of the importance of trees. Nebraska’s first Arbor Day was an amazing success. More than one million trees were planted. A second Arbor Day took place in 1884 and the young state made it an annual legal holiday in 1885, using April 22nd to coincide with Morton’s birthday. Today all 50 states celebrate Arbor Day although the dates may vary in keeping with the local climate. At the federal level, in 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day.

Sake Express renovations... On April 1, renovations began at Sake Express’ Belmont, N.C., location — changes to create a better guest experience for every diner. The approximate twoweek renovation includes a full week of restroom-only improvement, allowing the restaurant to remain open as usual as usual for in-res-
taurant service, drive-thru, takeout and delivery through April 8. Luxury restrooms will be provided on site as this much-needed face lift unfolds. Additional updates began Tuesday, April 9. The dining room will closed for an anticipated full week for vast upgrades — a fresh look — that include new
tables, painting and layout seating changes. This will bring a revived restaurant to Sake Express’ Belmont guests this spring. A planned dining room reopening is scheduled for April 16. Swift service drive-thru and DoorDash delivery will be available throughout this process.

New scholarship award established for young artists
Lady Raptors having a great season... The Mt. Island Charter School Lady Raptors softball team is having a great season. Recent wins were against North Mecklenburg 5-0 and Pinelake Prep 6-3. Both games were at home. Here: The Lady Raptors celebrate a win.
The Gaston College Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of the Teri Fridley Young Artist Scholarship, an annual full-tuition award in support of young, accomplished artists residing in Gaston and Lincoln counties of North Carolina who wish to pursue their passion by earning an Associate of Fine Art and Visual Art from Gaston College. Teri Marie Fridley grew up in Mecklenburg County in a family full of creative women. Generations of her family had sewn, quilted, and done needlework. However, none of them claimed the title of artist. Teri never considered art as a career. Instead, she channeled her creative abilities into raising her daughter and teaching

elementary school in MetroAtlanta for many years. She returned to North Carolina and Gaston County to assist with her family’s business and enrolled in art classes at Gaston College. Here, with the assistance of talented and caring instructors, she was able to express her artistic vision and finally felt empowered to claim the title “Artist.” By establishing The Teri Fridley Young Artist Scholarship she hopes to provide a guiding hand to area students so that they may also feel empowered to claim that title and pursue careers in the visual arts. To qualify for this full-tuition and fees award, students must be residents of Gaston or Lincoln Counties who have earned their high school
diploma within the last two years with a minimum high school grade point average (GPA) of 3.0. Students must apply to, and be accepted by, Gaston College before access to the College’s scholarship application system is granted. Continued funding is available if students maintain a 3.0 college GPA. While financial need is not required for this award, it is considered when applications are reviewed. Gaston College began accepting scholarship applications for the 2019-2020 academic year on March 1, 2019, and will begin reviewing applications after April 30, 2019. To apply, please visit the Gaston College Foundation webpage at www. gastoncollegefoundation.org.

facturing Career Expo, Students@Work, and Educators in the Workplace – that have been instrumental in showing students and teachers what careers are available in Gaston County. “We want our students to know that good jobs are available right here at home,” said Buchanan. “We want to provide training for students, and we also want to introduce them to potential employers and let them see what career opportunities they can take advantage of in Gaston County.” The CTE oversight committee morphed into the Gaston County Schools Business Advisory Council, which all school districts are required to have by the state. The council is responsible for fostering a partnership between the school district and local businesses to ensure that students are prepared for life after graduation and have the skills necessary to be competitive in a global workforce.

students indicate that we are experiencing great success in Career and Technical Education.” According to Booker, the district’s “good news” is the result of a multi-year effort to focus attention on Career and Technical Education. In 2015, in response to the community’s request for more technical (vocational) training for students, the Board of Education established the CTE oversight committee, which involved school, business, and community leaders. The committee reviewed CTE programs and offered feedback to ensure that the courses/pathways being offered were the ones students needed to be career and college ready. Booker added, “Not only do we want our students to be successful while they are in school, we want them to be ready for success when they graduate. Through Career and Technical Education, students gain valuable knowledge in a particular career field and have opportunities to earn industry-recognized credentials – this gives our students an advantage as they enter the workforce after high school or go on to college to pursue their career interests.” Brett Buchanan, director of Career and Technical Education for Gaston County Schools, said he is proud of the accomplishments that students are making. As a former CTE teacher, Buchanan knows how important it is for students to be prepared for the workforce. “We have expanded the number of CTE courses in our middle schools and high schools in an effort to get students to thinking about what they want to do after graduation,” said Buchanan. “We also are placing a career focus on several of our new school choice programs as another way to provide students with opportunities to explore career possibilities and gain skills and credentials.” Buchanan said it is important for schools to have connections with the business community, and he points to three programs – the Manu-

The N.C. Department of Public Instruction has released Career and Technical Education (CTE) test data for the 2017-2018 school year, and it provides “good news” for Gaston County Schools. Among the 10 largest school districts in the state, Gaston County had the highest proficiency rate of 87.8 percent. A student must earn a score of 70 or higher to receive proficiency status. Gaston ranked fourth last year in student proficiency and was sixth in 2015-2016. Gaston’s mark of 87.8 is the highest proficiency rate for any of the 10 largest districts in the past three years. For the 2017-2018 school year, 8,534 high school students in Gaston County were tested in 58 CTE courses – approximately 7,500 of them (or 87.8 percent) scored a 70 or higher. Additionally, Gaston County ranked second in the state for the number of CTE credentials earned by students. Gaston had 12,566 credentials earned by students. Wake County, the largest school district in the state, was first with 16,534 credentials earned by students. It is possible for a student to earn several credentials in one course. For example, a student in a Microsoft course can earn two credentials (Word and PowerPoint). Gaston County ranked ninth in the state (among all school districts and charter schools) for the percentage of students (161.5%) earning more than one credential in a particular area. The percentage represents the number of credentials earned (11,524) compared to the number of Gaston students (7,135) enrolled in CTE courses that offer credentials. “We are extremely proud of our students and their performance in our Career and Technical Education program,” stated Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker. “Having the highest student proficiency rate among the 10 largest school districts and also having the second highest number in the state of credentials earned by

They still believe at South Point by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
The 2019 baseball season has not gone the way many of South Point’s past seasons have gone. Over the years the Red Raiders have always been a baseball powerhouse. People took it for granted that South Point would dominate and make a deep push in the playoffs. Of course, nothing is forever, and eventually, the law of averages catches up to you. So what does that mean? Well, for South Point it means that this year’s team has not had it easy. However, they are having an interesting baseball season that may, in the end, read more like a novel. For South Point, the season started on a harsh note when the Red Raiders lost to Kings Mountain 16-6 and East Rutherford 6-1 in the first two games of the season. After that the Red Raiders found themselves on a winning and losing roller coaster. They won some games, they lost some games. To be honest, they were losing more than winning. There was no doubt, the team was struggling and they were in trouble. “After an 0-3 week last week our record dropped to 3-7 overall,” head coach Jason Lineberger said. “We were not in a good place.” It was at this low point that the South Point season took on a dramatic flair. For many sports fans, people merely see stats as numbers, wins, and losses. They see great plays and agonizing mistakes. Sometimes we
miss the real story. The story behind the scenes. After the slide, the Red Raiders did what great athletes do. They look themselves in the mirror and have a gut check. As they would soon show, the boys at South Point demonstrated that they were not done playing baseball. They were far from ready to roll over and die. “Players could have quit on the season and just tanked it the rest of the year,” Lineberger explained. “Instead they chose to work and press on.” Then, when things looked their darkest, South Point went on a three-game win streak. The Red Raiders plowed through their competition by beating RS Central 15-3, Forestview 15- 3, and RS Central once again 10-2. The win streak has been powered by some solid offense with players like Preston Conner, Andrew Warren, Nolan Cochran, and Beau Adams all playing well. In the pitching department, senior left hander Jacob Landis appears to be the man with the plan. Now, things are definitely beginning to look better for the Red Raiders. Going into this week’s action, the Red Raiders are 6-7 overall and 5-5 in conference play. The turnaround couldn’t have come at a better time. It also came with a complete team effort. Not just from the players, but the coaching staff as well. Everyone came together to make things happen.
“Thanks to some great assistant coaches and seniors, stepping up as leaders when we really needed them, the team started believing,” Lineberger said. “Believing in themselves, each other, and the process of improving.” The Red Raiders believe in each other may yet spark the Red Raiders to great things this year. Only time will tell. Coach Lineberger is not one to get too far ahead of himself. He is a realist. He looks at things the way they really are. While this was a good week he knows that things are far from over. “It was just one week and we still have a long way to go,” Lineberger added. “But if we continue playing the way we played this week it should be a lot of fun.” The coach has a good point. In many ways, South Point now finds itself in the up and comer role. The underdog if you will. Who knows where this story will go, but one thing is for sure, things just got a whole lot more interesting in Belmont!
Abbey’s Jakob Rolly takes a swing.
Abbey sweeps Limestone The Belmont Abbey baseball team swept Limestone last week to win their fourth Conference Carolinas series of the year. The Abby improves to 22-20 on the year and 12-10 in league play. Limestone moves to 13-26 with a 7-14 conference record. Game One Belmont Abbey 6, Limestone 2 Jakob Rolly (pictured) went 3-for-4 with two home runs. Kale Rhame drove in two
runs in the game. Matty Bapst drove in a run with a ground ball in the second. Griffin Baker earned his fifth win of the year pitching 5.0 innings not allowing an earned run while striking out three. Jason White came on in relief to pitch the final two innings allowing only one run. Game Two Belmont Abbey 3, Limestone 2 Justin Moran went 3-for-3
with an RBI and walk. The Crusaders scored two runs on the second inning on a Moran single and a sac fly from Ben Gobbel. Ben Sneider drove in a run with a single in the seventh to give The Abbey the lead. Sam Luchansky threw 6.1 innings allowing two runs and struck out two. Blake Waldren earned his first win of the season pitching the final 2.2 innings with four strikeouts. Belmont Abbey photo/story

Gaston School’s 50th Anniversary “flashback” photo of the week This great aerial picture predates the unification of Gaston County Schools in 1968. Can you guess what it shows? If you said the Mount Holly school complex in the 1950s, you are right. Most of the buildings shown are gone – demolished to make way for
the present-day Mount Holly Middle School (which would be in the lower left corner of the picture) and Ida Rankin Elementary School (which would be in the upper center). You will notice that the gym, home economics/agriculture building, and auditorium are
still standing today as well as a classroom building that is part of Rankin. About the same time that Gaston County Schools came into existence, the trend was to build large, comprehensive high schools – something that happened across Gaston County
in the 1970s. In 1972, Mount Holly high school students no longer went to school at the complex in the picture. They, along with students from Stanley High School, attended the new (and larger) East Gaston High School. Gaston Schools photo

East Gaston softball hopes to turn things around by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
The fine line between winning and losing can be tricky. In high school sports, as in all sports, things can change quickly. One minute everything is great, the next you can be left wondering what the heck is going on. The East Gaston softball team is keenly aware of how quickly things can change. After what had been a promising start to the 2019 softball season the East Gaston Lady Warriors had a string of bad games. They now find themselves trying to salvage their season and turn it all around. When the season started it looked like the Lady Warriors were going to have a banner year. In the opener, EG smashed Ashbrook 23-2. The Lady Warriors looked strong earlier on. They had depth and three pitchers capable of starting any game as needed. However, after the opening win, EG was hit with a tornado of bad luck. Just as it all looked good, the bottom fell out as the Lady Warriors lost seven of their last eight games. The freefall stopped when EG beat Shelby last week 9-7. That win was followed up by another loss to Shelby but head coach Kaci Wilcox believes her team still has room to for optimism. The Lady Warriors think they can still have a good year. “I’m proud of the progress and improvement we have made throughout the season,” Wilcox said. “We have a few more adjustments to make, but I believe we are on the path to having a great second half of the season.” All teams need to be good in a lot of different areas in
order to win. In softball, one of those areas is hitting. One thing is for sure, EG has players that can swing the bat.
The Lady Warriors top batters are Emily Allen, Maddison York, and Emma Kuproski. Allen is batting .545. York batting .476, while Kuproski is batting .467. East Gaston has the bats, but even if you are hitting the ball out of the park you still need to be able to make plays on defense. A lack of a consistent defense is one area that coach Wilcox hopes to address in the coming weeks. “We need to be more consistent on defensive and eliminate errors,” Wilcox pointed out. “We are scoring runs, now we just have to keep them from scoring!” The Lady Warriors still have time to turn things around. However, time is running out. If East Gaston is going to make a run it needs to be now. Right now, EG is 3-8 overall and 2-7 in Southwestern 2A action. Coach Wilcox is confident that her players know what they’re supposed to do and are working to get better. “All of the girls are settling into their roles and really taking responsibility for what the team needs,” Wilcox added. This week EG has back to back road trips to RS Central and Cherryville. The Lady Warriors will finish the week on Friday night hosting R-S Central.
