Mt. Holly council recognizes outstanding citizens and employees

by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Last Mondays' regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Holly city council saw that body recognize a number of outstanding folks.

Mt. Holly native and Stuart Cramer High junior Marissa Garrison was lauded with a proclamation connected with her work as Miss North Carolina Outstanding Teen.

Garrison has used the opportunity as Miss North Carolina’s Outstanding Teen in appearances on television and at events around the state to spread awareness about the importance of organ donation since the sudden death of close friend and classmate Destiny Stafford and learning of the lives which were saved by the selfless act of Destiny’s family in donating her organs.

Garrison has also has used her talents to take action for this cause that she believes in by organizing an annual talent show which has raised thousands of dollars over the last three years for the Destiny Lives On Foundation, a nonprofit organization named after her friend which provides financial support for families of organ donors and recipients.

Garrison is a straight-A student and plans to attend the University of Alabama to study musical theater and dance performance on a full tuition scholarship which she received as a result of her participation in the Outstanding Teen scholarship

program.

The council also recognized Mt. Holly police department Sgt. Fred Tindall who retired April 1.

Tindall began his law enforcement career on April 1, 1981 with the Cramerton PD. He came to Mt. Holly PD on Oct. 16, 2000. During his career, Tindall performed a variety of duties including narcotics investigation. One such case resulted in the recovery of around $2.7 million discovered inside PVC pipes.

The seized cash helped MHPD buy new rifles, an ATV, and equipment that will be used in the new police substation located in the soon to be opened North Fire Station.

Mt. Holly PD chief Don Roper read excerpts from a sheet of remarks that Tindall's fellow officers had penned regarding their thoughts on him as an officer and gentleman.

Comments included- “he always helps out”, “he is a great leader”, “he is a wealth of knowledge”, “he is always there for you”.

Roper also made several remarks about Tindall that he declared “come from the heart”.

“I can attest that Fred has Jedi status as an undercover officer,” Roper said. “He's part Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Kevin Costner. He has been like a father to a lot of people in law enforcement.” Mt. Holly mayor Bryan Hough presented Miss North Carolina Outstanding Teen In addition to the council proclamation, Tindall Marissa Garrison with a proclamation for her community service work at last was also presented with a retirement watch as well week's city council meeting. Garrison is a Mt. Holly native and student at Stuart Cramer High.

Belmont woman finds letters New Mt. Holly that are a window on her North Fire Station set to open family’s wartime past

by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Susan Jones of Belmont recently came across a couple of letters and some very old photos that opened up a window on her family history during World War I and World War II. “I was looking through my nightstand drawer and came across an old envelope that had the letters and photos in it,” Jones said.

The letters are typewritten copies of the originals. The photos are originals going back to around 1940-era.

“The original letters must be deteriorated and my mother copied them on a typewriter many years ago,” Jones said. “The originals might be in my aunt's house in Yonkers, N.Y. She's 93-years-old.”

her son (Jones's great-uncle) Sgt. George Hendry in battle during WWI. Hendry, a native of Scotland, was in the Royal Field Artillery, Battery B 255 Battalion.

The Major who wrote the letter gave a full account of Hendry's last combat action on July 28, 1918 somewhere in France or Flanders.

“He had established a lamp station on a hill which we had just captured and when he got in communication with the battery by lamp he and I and another officer went forward to the other side of the hill to try and get a view of the enemy's position. We were all three together and the enemy saw us and turned on a battery and one shell landed almost on top of us and killed your son instantly.”

The Major went on to praise George.

DAYS!

The brand new Mt. Holly North Fire Station on Lucia-Riverbend Highway is within a whisker of being ready for business.

The 6,000 sq. ft..station building is up and final details inside are being checked off one by one. Outside, crews have started landscaping the grounds. Everything is bright, shiny, and ready for the fire engine and firefighters to come on board.

Miles-McClellan Construction is doing the build. Miles-McClellan is also building the new Mt. Holly public works building and has done a 911 center in Greensboro.

“We are very excited and ready to move in,” said MHFD chief Ryan Baker. “We should be ready in a couple of weeks. The new station will allow us to provide quicker fire and emergency medical response to the area.”

The station will house an engine, water rescue equipment, and in the future perhaps another truck. Engine 35, a pumper with a 750 gallon caSee FIRE STATION page 5

OPINION

TODAY’S QUOTE: A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad. ~Robert Wagner

My marriage interrupted my marriage Two weeks after my wedding, my wife and I moved to a new city to start a new career and live together as husband and wife. Our denomination appointed us to pastor a small rural church in southwestern New Jersey.

I read the farewell brief from my predecessor and nothing stated it was in debt. I was relieved. But my wife opened a drawer and found a stack of bills. We owed $38k on an annual budget of $56k. We didn’t get paid the first five months we were married. We worked very hard to keep the doors open.

When things got better, we were transferred to north Jersey to an inner-city church. We faced new challenges. As we got the programs up and running, we learned my wife was pregnant with our first child. A few years later, she was pregnant with our second child.

At that time, we were transferred again.

Our final appointment was to church plant. We did it out of a funeral home. I had to roll the body out of the way so I could preach. Our second child was born.

Then we learned my daughter had a severe vision problem. While dealing with that, my wife became pregnant a third time. Our last two children are 12 months and 18 days apart.

We left the ministry and started our life all over without owning a piece of furniture. Eventually, we bought our first house. Our children entered school. We moved to Washington, DC to lead a rescue mission there.

Our kids were a little older. We operated a summer camp. We got a dog. A few years later, we moved to Charlotte to lead Charlotte Rescue Mission. My mother moved in with us. Children were in high school activities including swimming, color guard and ping pong. I don’t count ping pong as a contact sport.

Our teens were considering colleges and being enrolled. I should receive an award for “enduring” three

student/parent orientations at our local university. We learned about something called, “the five-year plan”.

One wanted to try the “sixyear plan” but I said no.

I traded car payments for tuition payments. One month I paid off our van. The next month started nine (9) years Tony Marciano of non-stop tuition payments to our local university.

We were juggling cars (plural) in the driveway and four people on a cell phone bill. I got good at negotiating with our local cell phone provider to keep the price down.

When that season was over, we found ourselves launching our children into the real world. They told us they had found the love of their life and we were into the wedding season. Lots of family drama when you combine the words “Italian” and “wedding”. You can’t have an Italian wedding without drama. It’s illegal.

In November my last child got married. We began 2018 and it was “good.” My wife and I sat at the dinner table or in the living room and “just talked.” We didn’t talk about anything; we just talked. That’s when it hit me. I married this incredible woman who got lost in the process of being married, starting a career, having children, establishing a home, and on and on. She was never a stranger as when people talk about the empty nest. She was someone who got lost when we were trying to keep up with being married.

Let me encourage you not to lose your marriage in your marriage. All those things will be there. Never lose sight of the one who still takes your breath away.

Scattered and Well Placed Seeds Have you ever thought about seeds; about how many differDennis Siracusa ent types of seeds there are? Vegetable seeds, flower seeds and grass seeds. Educational seeds, kindness seeds, and paying it forward seeds. In fact, if we put our thinking caps on, I’ll bet we can construct quite a list of literal seeds, metaphoric seeds and seed similes. And I’ll bet also, in some way, shape or fashion, they can all either be practically or figuratively incubated in a tender growing box before planting, or purposely placed, or scattered toward their purpose.

In all cases we do this NOT to blindly wind our way through life but act wisely and have hope for a positive outcome for ourselves and others. With gardens and landscapes we hope to have a bounty of flowers, vegetables, or a wellgroomed lawn. The seeds planted with dedicated study in school are intended to bear bountiful fruit occupationally, and financially, and seeds planted in other’s lives are intended as blessings.

And talk about bounty! The bible has sixty six books containing over 8,300 of God’s inexhaustible, perfect promises scattered throughout. And they are seed types just like vegetable or flower seeds in paper packages in the store. And they’ll do no good if we merely look at them and never bring them home and plant them the way we are directed to. Spiritual seeds need

to be embraced with faith, and spoken over our lives in a Holy Spirit, well-choreographed manner to fit our needs.

Have you ever been burdened; really anxious and worn down?

Here is a sample of an inspired prayer that a precious friend sent us last night. These words blessed my family in our trials; we draw strength from them because they are spiritual promises emanating from God’s overflowing grace for all of His children; they are yours to draw strength from too.

My God is able to do abundantly more and above anything we can ask or think. Eph3:20 He is all powerful and working for my good. Genesis 18:14, Rom 8:28 His promises are yes and amen.

2 Corinthians 1:20 I am abiding in Him and He is in me. John 15:5 I will ask what I will, according to His will, and He will do it. John 14:13 He is my peace keeper and my safe place. Isaiah 26:3 I ask and He heard, I called and He answered. 1 John 5:15 He is my refuge, my hope and my strength. Ps 46 In Him I live and breathe and have my being. Acts 17:28 Every hope that I have is anchored in the blood of the lamb. Ps 39:7 I will rest in Him and the promises in His word for He sustains me in all my ways.

Francis Frangipane has pointed out two kinds of prayer; “Arrow

prayers” which are fast, quick, hurried prayers and “soaking prayers” which we labor over. We need to build our prayers according to our needs. If we were looking for tomato seeds in the store we wouldn’t casually grab any old seed packet would we? No, we pick the seeds we need and attach our hope and labor to it. So here is a prayer for God’s overflowing grace…. inspired by a Celine Dion song sung with Andrea Bocelli.

Sia questa la nostra preghiera, padre. Condurci alla tua grazia, Signore.

MY OPINION: The case of the shrinking vittles There is an eternal struggle within the human heart and mind. That is, the non-stop contest between fantasy and reality. Or between truth and deceit.

One arena typifies to an astonishing degree this duality and that is food. Yes, food.

Here's what I mean.

Go grocery shopping. First of all, as you enter the cavernous and gleaming edifice to eats look at the cornucopia of items we have available. Folks who live in places like the Amazon rain forest do not have such a variety of vittles to pick from. Yes, they have 'nanners and fish, and yams, and monkeys to dine on, but not croutons, Salisbury steak, flash frozen Brussels sprouts, Boston crème pies and chicken nuggets. But the stuff that natives and other peoples in many other corners of the globe chow down on is in a “what you see is what you git” situation. They see it in its natural state up in a tree, or in the river. There is no subterfuge. What we in our area and most of America puts in our cakeholes is prepackaged and that's where the rub comes in.

The next time you buy food that's in a box or plastic bag you can't see through, take a hard look at the photo on the container. Observe how succulent the grub inside is supposed to be. Fix yer eyes on the glistening veggies, the plump fish sticks, the fluffy scrambled aigs and crisp bacon, the mountainous apple pie, the huge cookies chock full of nuts, etc. etc.

Now open the container up and see what's really inside. Things that seem irresistible from the outside are too often a supreme disappointment on the inside. They are tiny, they are dried out, they are utterly unappetizing. The box or bag might taste better.

The same principle holds true when it comes to fast food stuff these days. Posters in the store window or

on TV commercials show burgers so big they seem to Alan Hodge need a wheel- Banner-News Editor barrow to get them to your car. On TV, the actors can barely get their lips over the bun. Of course they are not really biting into the burger you can tell by the fake chewing they do as they roll their eyes in recreational eating ecstasy.

But then there's the reality of what you get when you open the bag and look inside and there in the very cavernous sack you see an object purported to be a sandwich way down in its depths and you plunge your hand in and fish around and finally grab it and take it out of its wrapper and wonder how the pictured humongous item that cost five bucks is barely more than a few good bites in size.

This deceit is not a new thing.

Think back when a burger was big.

Picture it in your mind. Imagine how many inches across it was. Now, it bears the same name, but is a shrunken shadow of its former self unlike the midriff of its constant consumers.

This downsizing has taken place not over a matter of months, but years. A clever ploy based on the hope that no one will notice.

Candy bars are likewise. Once a candy bar would fill your fist and your mouth and your stomach. They cost about a quarter. Now, a candy bar cost over a dollar and is about 2/3 the size they used to be.

I could go on and on about the situation I call “you don't get what you pay for” but it's probably to no avail.

But mark my words, one day you will open a food package to find- nothing but a little pill that tastes like the picture on the box. Bon appetit.

Letter to editor To the Banner News Editor: Guns aren’t the problem. Aggressive behavior is.

They probably don’t even realize it, but those who behave selfishly and aggressively bear a major responsibility for recent incidents of gun violence.

Case in point: aggressive drivers who run red lights and cut in front of other drivers without signaling first (often only to end up waiting at a red light, thereby negating whatever time thought they were saving when they drove aggressively). This is the result of a me-first attitude that says “the world belongs to me and I can do whatever I want, even if others get hurt in the process.” This is simply a milder form of the same selfish aggressive behavior that many mass shooters no doubt believe and what motivates them to commit their violent acts.

We need to take a look at ourselves and recognize our own role in this tragedy. Let’s start by driving less aggressively and showing courtesy and respect towards others in our everyday actions.

It certainly can’t hurt.

Sincerely, Stephen V. Gilmore Charlotte

“Where shall I find another man who in danger can be so absolutely relied on who will set a fine example I do not know.”

The other letter Jones has was written by her Scottish uncle Royal Air Force Sgt. D. Wood in 1942 from his seat as a radio operator in an RAF Short Stirling bomber as it flew a night mission to Mondane, France. The letter is a minute by minute account of the mission and was addressed to his mum.

One excerpt reads- “We are just coming to the Alps now, we can see the snow gleaming in the distance. A Jerry (German) night fighter came in and had a look at us but flew off without

firing a shot. We had just passed a French city and they sent as bit of flak up at us but nothing to rave about. It won't be long before we reach the target.”

After George and his crew dropped their bombs he gave this report.

“We bombed a railway yard in one of the Valleys in the Alps.

The flak was not too bad but I saw a Lancaster (bomber) go down in flames. Anyway, we are away from it now and on the road back to the cliffs of Dover.”

Unfortunately , George was later killed on another mission.

He died Sept. 27, 1943.

So, what do the letters and pictures mean to Jones?

“They bring me to a past I never knew about,” she said.

“You hear about families losing

members in war, and this fills a void I had concerning what happened to these members of

ours. Finding these letters and pictures is priceless. They are very profound.”

Jones believes the RAF flier second from left is her uncle Sgt. D.G. Wood.

The WWII grave marker of Jones’s uncle and RAF aviator Sgt. D.G. Wood at some unidentified location.

These are the names of Belmont’s own WWI dead. The names are on an obelisk in Greenwood Cemetery dedicated in 1921.

While he was at it, Roper also called a number of MHPD 911 dispatchers to the council chambers and recognized them for their work.

“We have one of two 911 centers in Gaston County,” Roper said. “They are the first line in case of emergency. I am glad we are able to recognize our telecommunicators.”

pacity, will be assigned to the new station. The station will also be home to a substation of the Mt. Holly Police Dept. A GEMS paramedic truck and crew will also be placed at the station. The station's coverage area will stretch from the Horseshoe Bend Beach Rd. vicinity to Freightliner and Sandy Ford Rd. and the Dutchmans Meadow and Kendrick Farms subdivisions. Future plans for the station grounds could include a 100-foot tall water tank.

When complete, the station will be staffed by six firefighters.

The staff will be a mix of veteran and new firefighters.

The new station will have sleeping quarters with sounddampening partitions between the beds as well as a nice kitchen and dining area. The truck bay is a huge area with all the equipment needed to keep the fire engine ready to roll. Other interior spaces include a weight room, offices, and storage space.

Lighting is by LED and the structure is well insulated.

“It's a very energy efficient building,” said Baker.

Even though the station will go to work shortly, an official ribbon cutting will be slated later to coincide with a similar event opening the new Mt. Holly Public Works complex.

Be safe with burning Please be careful if you choose to have any type of outside fire. The Mt. Holly Fire Department has responded to three calls recently for outside fires. One of these fires was left unattended and spread to the woods and the neighbor's yard. You could be held responsible for damages if your fire gets away from you.

So what are the rules? Fire pits need to be a minimum 25ft from any structure. The size of the Mt. Holly firefighters Chris Ohlin and Joshua Johnson were training last week on the new forced pit cannot be greater than 3ft in diameter and the flames can not be taller than 2ft. You need entry door that was bought with a private donation. The door gives firefighters experience on to have a water source to extinguish the fire and keep it in control. If the smoke is causing a gaining entry into a locked building.

There is a place in the mountains I like to go to and camp with friends. It takes about a two or three mile hike into the Rev. Trent Rankin woods to get there. Once you get there, Salvation Church the woods open to a field in a valley. In Gastonia, NC this place, there is no one near, and it is to- salvationchurchnc.org tally isolated. There is no cellphone signal salvationchurchnc@gmail.com either! If someone were to be left in this place, they would certainly feel all alone.

In our walk with Jesus, there are times when we feel alone. During times of suffering, or trials, we experience times where it seems as if God has gone far away from us.

Job 1:9-21 tells the story of Job, and his sufferings. Job was a man very close to God, whom God had blessed immensely. One day, Satan encountered God. God spoke to him of His great servant Job. Satan told God that Job only loved Him because God had blessed Him so much with children, and possessions. God allowed Satan to afflict Job, except he could not hurt Job. Satan proceeded to take away all of Job’s flocks, servants, and even his children. Job however in his agony, said “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21, NKJV).

When we read the book of Job, we see he had been close to God, yet now is his misery God seemed far away. It was if God had abandoned Job. Often in our Christian walk, we face times when God seems far away. Many things can make us feel far from God. Job was being tried by God. God was testing his faith and service. In doing so, Job did not understand why all of these things were happening to him. Job began to question God and His will. Job began to feel as if God had walked away. Maybe you are experiencing such distance from God. Perhaps you are facing trials and sorrow, and it seems as if your prayers go unanswered. If so, you can take heart in the knowledge that God never stops loving you. God never stopped loving Job, even in the midst of his trials. God never left Job. It seemed as if God was far away, yet God was there the whole time.

Later, Job discovered that God had not left him, and had blessed the latter part of his life more than He had the first. God Himself says to us, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5, NKJV).

What an awesome promise! If you feel alone today, I pray you will take comfort, and hope, in the fact that Jesus will never leave you.

When you seek Him, He will be found!

Tuesday Afternoon Book Club meets The Tuesday Afternoon Book Club met on April 10, 2018 with Eva Ann Via as hostess. The meeting took place at her home. Ten members were present and enjoyed refreshments as they arrived.

After the business, Eva Ann presented a program calling attention to the fact that we each should “write things down” as often as we can, every day things that will help others know us better, items that will help families realize special things about us, and we should especially identify pictures that we have.

Eva Ann had numerous printed materials to pass around showing how other people have done this: ranging from Woodcarver Bob Thornburg will be demonstrating his craft at simple little booklets to a very wellthe BHS Living History Day. BHS photo done genealogy of her family that Eva Ann published some years ago. This program was a reminder to all of us at CF website: http://www.cfgaston.org/Learn/CommunityFounof how important it is to chronicle our dationRun.aspx thoughts, our knowledge of things that

Eva Ann Via photo provided will be important to our families, and especially to identify all of the family and friends in the pictures that we have. The members related their own realization of how important these things are.

In a world riven by tension, there’s one skill that stands above all others: the ability to resolve conflict. It is the paramount challenge of our time.

I’ve seen first-hand its importance: in Congress as part of a legislative process that, at least at the time, was mostly focused on resolving differences, and as co-chair of two key national committees that were constituted along partisan lines — the 9/11 Commission and the Iraq Study Group. Here’s what I’ve learned.

First, to resolve conflict, you have to be committed to doing just that.

When the 9/11 Commission met — at a time when many people just wanted to assign blame for the attacks on our country — we were often encouraged to take a confrontational approach by issuing hundreds of subpoenas that would force officials to testify and to turn over documents. We rejected that approach. There’s an old saying, “If you want to go fast, you go alone. If you want to go far, you go together.” That was our experience.

There’s another key to resolving conflict: you start with facts. Focusing on them helps the various parties — which are sometimes very far apart ideologically — find some common ground and develop a relationship that permits them to go forward.

Building on that start, it’s crucial to develop collegiality. Because if you’re serious about resolving conflicts, you’ll be spending a lot of time with the people you’re dealing with — good communication is crucial. This does not just involve talking. It means listening, asking questions, weighing arguments and options, and probing together whether disagreements can be resolved.

Compromise is a dirty word for many people, but it’s very hard to resolve conflicts without it. Trying to understand other participants’ problems — and then trying to let everybody leave having gained something — can make the difference between success and failure.

Finally, it’s important to make sure to include all the parties to a conflict and to address all the core issues — and when in doubt it’s better to include than exclude. For a resolution to be sustainable, the key players have to be brought into the process and the core issues considered.

All of this takes skill, patience and understanding. And these attributes are not as common as they should be. But developing them is worth the effort. Because if you look around, the need for them does not appear to be going away.

This column is about something I've thought about doing before and that's just saying the heck with it. Some of you might say it a bit differently.

When I was a pastor I would get so sick and tired of Glenn Mollette the same old people whining and complaining about the same old stuff that never amounted to anything.

Yet, they seemed to relish in having something to complain about. Most of us have been there and done that. We have whined or just got tired of hearing others whine.

Chances are you are there right now. You've done all you can to help somebody and you can't do it anymore. You've hung onto something that you wished you had walked out of a long time ago.

You've showed up at a job that you've hated for years. You've carried on in different tasks that you are tired of doing because it all seems so futile. Nobody would probably blame you much if you made a change. For good or bad the person you always have to deal with is you. You have to decide if you can live with your decision to give up.

Fifteen years ago I didn't know how I was going to eat let alone pay the mortgage. I was trying to start a practical way for ministers around the planet to study the Bible and earn a ministry degree at home. After two years it was pretty dead and going zero. I was so jobless that I was interviewing with a nursing home for a job that paid really nothing. The interviewer wanted to know what my current job was and I said, "President of Newburgh Theological Seminary, Newburgh, Indiana." She said, "That sounds like a better job." I replied "I would like it more if it at least paid a little something." I was ready to quit but one tiny small success eventually led to another and that was fifteen years and at least 6000 students ago. I'm glad I didn't quit but nobody would have blamed me if I had.

I'm certainly by no means saying life is roses.

Not everything turns out pie and cream in life. I've had plenty of failures. I have failures going on right now. I suppose the only way I can escape failing at stuff is to stop trying to do anything. I've thought about giving up this column. About the time I start having this thought I'll get email from different people telling me that something I wrote was meaningful to them. An editor will write me and thank me or somebody will hate something I wrote and write something ugly. At least then I know I'm being read. So, I'm going to stay with it for awhile.

Who knows what will happen.

Today, maybe the whole point of all of this is to help you stay with it a little longer or maybe just one more day. When you look back you never feel that great about anything if you just quit.

A tough week for Cramer, South Point and East Gaston softball

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

There was no way around it. Last week was just not a good week for Cramer, South Point and East Gaston softball.

In total, the three teams played a combined eight games last week. At the end of the week the trio could only produce three wins.

Stuart Cramer played games against Crest, North Iredell and Burns.

The Lady Storm lost to Crest 4-1 and North Iredell 4-3, but came away with a much needed 4-3 conference win against Burns.

In the Burns win, Carley Womack, Gracie Wright and

Tiara Davis all had solid plate performances.

Womack batted .500, while Wright and Davis maintained a .333 batting average against the Lady Bulldogs.

Cramer is now sitting at 10- 7 overall and 5-5 in Big South 3A league play.

This week the Storm will be very busy. Cramer has games scheduled against North Gaston, North Lincoln, Ashbrook and Huss.

South Point played three games last week as well.

The Lady Raiders played R-S Central twice and Huss once.

South Point lost both games to the Hilltoppers. In the first game on Tuesday, the Lady Raiders lost 17-6.

On Friday, South Point played R-S Central yet again. This

game was a lot closer, but the Lady Raiders were still handed a tough 3-0 loss.

On a positive note South Point was able to beat Huss 16-2.

South Point is now 5-14 on the year and 1-10 in the Southwestern 2A. This week the Lady Raiders will play two games. Both will be against Chase.

Even East Gaston had a tough way to go last week.

The Lady Warriors had two games against Shelby and lost both. The losses put EG at 7-8 overall and 4-7 in the Southwestern 2A Looking at this weeks schedule it appears that the Lady Warriors will also have a full plate.

EG plays R-S Central twice sandwiched in between a nonconference game against Ashbrook.

Things got off to a somewhat rocky start when East Gas- us a little cushion to close out an away conference game, “ ton pitcher Noah Breakfield had a tough first inning giving up Sellers added. “Our effort with intensity and pulling for our teammates was awesome all night.” seven runs.

Down 7-0, East Gaston had a lot of work to do if they were going to get back into the game. It turned out that going to work is exactly what the Warriors did.

In the top of the second inning, EG responded with seven runs of their own.

In the bottom of the second EG skipper Randy Sellers sent in Caleb Hager to relieve Breakfield.

Hager and the Warrior defense were able to settle things down and help keep things competitive.

The Warriors scored another four runs in the top of the fourth inning pushing out to a take a 11-7 lead.

East Gaston now had the lead, but the game was no where near over.

After giving up 11 unanswered runs the Golden Lions got #23 ~ Senior back into it by scoring three runs in the sixth inning.

The Warriors, however were able to limit the amount of damage Shelby inflicted and came out of the inning holding on to a 11-10 lead.

Going into the top of the seventh the Warriors slammed in three more runs to increase their lead to 14-10.

Charlie Black came in to pitch the bottom of the seventh Baseball and was instrumental in pulling a game ending double play.

Noah Breakfield, Caleb Hager, Dosi Jonas, and Ethan Woodward all went two for five. Woodward had four RBI’S, Hager had three and Jonas had two.

East Gaston won the game because they played hard in 403 East Catawba St. • Belmont, NC every inning.

Also, Gaston Day School has receives a Toshiba Grant.

Anne Byford has been awarded a grant from the Toshiba Americas Foundation for “Sequencing the Genome of the Atlantic Coquina.” The primary goal of the project is to introduce students to current DNA sequencing technology and to the analysis of complex “big data” using an organism that is familiar to most students, periwinkles. Using new tools including

a nanopore DNA sequencing device, students will assist in the assembly and publication of the complete genomic sequence, which is currently unknown. This equipment will also allow students to pursue projects related to DNA sequencing of other organisms and to genetically catalog the plants growing on the GDS campus. In addition, GDS will be one of the only schools of any size in the area to have this type of cutting edge DNA sequencing technology.
