Mt. Holly Community Garden is a vegetable paradise

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

Summer is here and the Mt. Holly Community Garden is overflowing with a bounty of vegetables and flowers.

The garden is in its fourth year. The garden transformed what was once a vacant lot on N. Main St. beside First United Methodist Church into an agricultural oasis. The site features over 50 garden beds that folks rent and lovingly grow a wide variety of things in such as herbs, flowers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, and

just about anything else you might find in a first class garden environment.

In addition, the garden features five benches and a brick paved patio near the main pagoda-like entrance where folks can sit, talk, and take in the greenery.

The garden is also a haven for wildlife. Plants like milkweed that attract butterflies are growing near the entrance. The garden is a National Wildlife Federation certified wildlife habitat, a certified Monarch Garden, and a part of the Rosalynn Carter butterfly trail. Honeybees are welcome at the gar-

den and can be seen buzzing from flower to flower doing their pollinating job.

There are a lot of new and exciting things going on at the Mt. Holly Community Garden this season.

“We are working on beautifying the garden’s back entrance,” said garden vice president Erin Denison.

“With the help of volunteers from Clariant Corp. we have built a retaining wall there and will plant flowers on it.”

A brick tool shed at the garden is slated for artistic improvement.

St. Joseph College Seminary construction under way in Mount Holly

By SueAnn Howell Catholic News Herald

This is an architectural rendering of the new CaroMont Health hospital slated for construction near Belmont on NC273 and I-85.

New hospital slated for construction in Belmont CaroMont Health today announced plans to invest more than $300 million in capital projects and facility improvements in Gaston County over the next five years. Projects include the addition of a critical care tower on the main campus of CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia, the construction and renovation of

several medical office buildings, and the construction of a second hospital in Belmont.

“CaroMont Health has provided life-changing and life-saving medical care to the citizens of Gaston County for nearly 75 years,” said Chris Peek, President and Chief Executive Officer at See HOSPITAL, Page 9

St. Joseph College Seminary continues to see steady growth as its permanent location starts to take shape.

Construction work and fundraising efforts on the $20 million project have picked up pace since ground was broken last September on the site on Perfection Ave. near Belmont Abbey College. Enrollment is also on the rise and expected to be higher than this year, although it’s too early to report an official number yet for this fall.

Unusually wet weather over the winter and spring initially hampered work at the site, said Emmett Sapp, Diocese of Charlotte construction manager.

“We had a challenging winter. I believe it was the wettest winter on record and it made clearing and grading work on site very challeng-

OPINION

TODAY’S QUOTE: “My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.”

- Abraham Lincoln

My Opinion:

I survived being an HOA Board President

My advice to graduates Well, it’s almost time for high school graduates to march down the aisle or across the field or whatever and receive the curled up piece of paper that declares they have satisfied the NC Dept. of Public Education’s requirements of book learnin’.

I was looking through past bound volumes of the Belmont Banner and Mount Holly News and ran across numerous columns by the late, great, Dwight Frady where he offered his advice to grads on what to expect and do in the coming years. Good ol’ Dwight.

Taking that as a cue, I came up with a list of “thoughts” I would like to share with the cap and gown crowd. So here they are: don’t think anyone owes you anything, don’t think you are a failure it you can’t afford to go to an expensive university, avail yourself of a community college, your parents or whoever you live with may not be perfect but odds are they do the best they can, try to get a job this summer it will be tough but give it a shot anyway and if you get one don’t drop it in favor of your social life.

Here’s some more: go somewhere out in the woods or on a mountain or at the coast and marvel at the creation you see and realize it didn’t happen by accident, listen to some good music such as Johannes Brahms or Richard Wagner, or Johann S. Bach, or Sergei Rachmaninoff, or Jimi Hendrix, Cream, or the Beatles but stay away from so-called music whose lyrics would have gotten the “singers” mouth washed out with soap back in the day, thank your teachers, don’t get pregnant, don’t get someone pregnant, don’t get arrested for anything, don’t text and drive, don’t drink and drive, don’t smoke weed and drive, if you don’t want to read the Bible for religious reasons look at its poetry, read some Romantic Era poetry, read some Beatnik poetry, read a good novel or story collection by a classic Southern author such as William Faulkner, get plenty of sleep, cut back on fast food, you don’t need lots and lots of friends but one good friend you can confide your deepest thoughts to is plenty.

Help an elderly person. Help a poor person.

Now that I have gotten that out of my system, I thought I would convey a couple of recollections from my own graduation from Garinger High way back in 1970.

Those of us, especially the guys, who were leaving high school behind and entering the world in that year had a heavy cloud hanging over our heads called the Vietnam War and the draft. Your choices were- join the military

Thursday, May 30, 2019

and hope you didn’t end up in the infantry, get a college deferment so you would not be drafted, run off to Canada, or Alan Hodge do nothing and cross Banner-News Editor your fingers you would not be drafted.

The draft system involved a lottery and your birth date was linked by random drawing with a date on the calendar for each of the 365 days. Make sense? It didn’t then either. In other words, if your birth date of say January 21 (me) was linked with anything below 100 days you were a goner, and the higher number out of 365 you were linked with lessened the chances you would be drafted. My number was 206, but a friend of mine had a number of 60-something. I warned him “Marty you had better get to CPCC and get a deferment or you will be drafted this summer”. Marty did not go to CPCC. He went straight to the US Army and a firebase in the central highlands of Vietnam. He came home in one piece physically but a hundred pieces otherwise.

Today it is different. I would encourage high school grads to consider a military career. I have several relatives who have gone that route and they have reaped enormous personal and financial benefits not to mention having seen a large part of the world.

On a lighter note, the 1970 summer of my graduation also brought an eye and mind opening event in the form of the Love Valley Rock Festival. This three day extravaganza was North Carolina’s version of Woodstock and took place over three days in June 1970 at the western-style town of Love Valley built by the late Andy Barker in the foothills near Statesville. About 100,000 hippies and wanna be hippies and other ilk packed the place and the Allman Brothers and other groups played music on a stage built in a rodeo arena. It was fantastic and my friend Brutus Casey and I had a blast and got blasted in the process. I was free! I was hip! I had long hair! I had a tie-dyed t-shirt and bell bottom jeans! I was 18 years old! Woo Hoo! But reality set in a couple of months later when I went to work at UPS. Kerplunk.

Anyway, my hat is off to all grads. You have worked hard. As the Indian in the movie “Josie Wales” said “You have endeavored to persevere”. You are big boys and girls now.

So peace brothers and sisters and good luck ‘cause you will surely need it.

Don’t ask me why, but two years ago, at the annual meeting of our home owner’s association (HOA), I approached the incoming Board President and offered to help him write the community newsletter. It didn’t sound that difficult. In addition to the newsletter, I found myself helping him and the other Board members deal with some challenging issues.

I became a non-voting, nonmember of the Board.

As he came to the end of his presidency, he sold his home and moved out of the community. The vice president was putting his property on the market. Neither one could serve as President.

Having previously served as our HOA president, they asked me to serve. Originally, I said no, but after considering it, I said, “Yes.” At the annual meeting, we informed the community the need to raise dues significantly. As you can imagine, it did not go over well and did not get the votes required.

The next day, I was HOA President.

We began working on a strategy to secure the necessary votes. The next seven months were spent communicating with neighbors, emailing them, mailing them and knocking on doors. By the time December came along, we secured the needed votes, raising the dues 25% (yes, you read that correct).

At the same time, the pool needed major repairs. Actually, we needed to rebuild it. There were conversations with various contractors and negotiating payments in order to preserve cash flow.

During the year, there were the normal Board issues

The Key to Representative Democracy? Persuasion

By Lee H. Hamilton I am lucky enough these days to be in regular touch with young people who are interested in public service.

I find hope in their quality, energy, and motivation, and they press me to think more deeply about what it takes to pursue a life in the public realm.

I’ve come to believe that at the heart of it all — indeed, at the heart of representative democracy itself — is persuasion. If you’re trying to improve society you have to persuade other people: the only way to get things done is to convince other people to join in.

I once was fortunate to have a long conversation with the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a minister of the gospel and a civil rights leader, I was a politician, yet I was struck that we shared an abiding interest in how you persuade people to your side.

I saw the same quality in another masterful public figure, Lyndon Johnson.

When he had members of his cabinet speak to assembled members of Congress, he would take a seat in the front row and turn his chair around so that his back was to the speaker. He wasn’t interested in what they were saying; he was interested in

the impact of what they said.

In other words, he was interested in whether or not they were persuasive.

In a democracy like ours, you need help from allies, partners, friends, sometimes even antagonists — because you’re trying to find common ground and build coalitions of support. To convince them, you have to listen carefully, learn what’s important to them, and appeal to their values and interests.

Above all, you have to master the facts and know the arguments on all sides.

When I was in Congress, I was struck by how members appealed to people who often had different backgrounds

and priorities: they mentioned precedents, sought to connect to their listeners’ core values, compared their proposals to the alternatives, and cited the experts.

This is how we decide things in this country: we listen, we argue, we cajole, we compromise, and we persuade. The whole process can get untidy. But here’s what I tell the students thinking of going into public service: that it is an extraordinary privilege to be part of a system, representative democracy, that gives you the opportunity to persuade others, and by doing so to chart the future course.

NEW PATIENTS ALWAYS WELCOME

On Saturday, June 1, hundreds of people donning their best superhero and science fiction costumes will swarm the Gaston County Public Library-Main Library (GCPL Main Library, 1555 E. Garrison Blvd., Gastonia) for its Fifth Annual GCPL ComicCon. This one-day event attracts comic book retailers, enthusiasts, and artists from across the region and uses comic books and science fiction to promote literacy and encourage a lifelong love of reading. In addition, it gives the library the opportunity to promote everything it has to

offer to the community, specifically its cultural, education, and recreational programs. The event is free to the public and family friendly.

Nearly 1,500 people attended last year’s event, and GCPL staff expects an even bigger turnout. This year, attendees can expect to enjoy face painting, super hero-inspired activities for children, door prizes throughout the day, a scavenger hunt based on the X-Men, drawing workshops, and costume contests for children, teens, and adults. There will also be a Doctor Whothemed virtual reality experience. Members of the 501st Legion’s Carolina Garrison chapter will make an appearance at the event, just as they have in previous years, dressed as Star Wars villains.

There will be vendors and businesses that will offer attendees the opportunity to expand their personal comic book, action figure, and collectibles collections. The Friends of the Gaston County Public Library will be holding a raffle for a high-quality prop saber. The library will also support the local culinary

Tuesday Afternoon Book Club meets The Tuesday Afternoon Book Club met at the home of Lissa McMeeken on May 14, 2019 with the following members present: Eva Ann Via, Beth Geddis, Lissa McMeeken, Genie Hayes, Kathy Johnston, and Gearl Dean Page. A delicious dessert was served. A brief business session followed: After the business, Lissa led a discussion of the book, The Giraffe Has a Long Neck. She pointed out that the author, Jacques R. E. Poirier, wrote it to be sure his children would one day know about the work he did for French Resistance. He

explained the interesting code messages that came via the BBC: Example, The Giraffe Has a Long Neck came in to let the Resistance Forces know that D Day was to be the next day. Many other interesting code messages helped the Resistance know what would happen or had already happened. It was interesting to see how effective their efforts were as they moved from place to place.

After the discussion, the meeting was adjourned. Lissa gave each member a packet of homegrown herbs which she had prepared.

been a magnet for young men wanting to discern the priesthood. Enrollment growth has been faster than the diocese had anticipated, from eight students in its first year to 20 during the 2018-’19 academic year. The college seminary has attracted men from across the Charlotte diocese, with eight of the diocese’s 10 vicariates currently represented.

The growing interest in priestly vocations is welcomed by Bishop Peter Jugis, who has commented, “Although the number of priests serving our diocese has increased by 76 percent since it was founded in 1971, the number of Catholics has grown by 900 percent. Adding to that, we have had 13 priests retire in the last 10 years, and still 27 more are expected to retire in the next 10 years. Though we’ve been blessed with many good and holy priests, we need more to meet the needs of our rapidly growing flock.”

Until the permanent college seminary building can be completed, students are living spread out across four temporary homes on or near the campus of St. Ann Church in Charlotte, and they commute to classes at Belmont Abbey College.

The completion of a permanent home for the college seminary can’t come soon enough, said its rector, Father Matthew Kauth. Living, working and praying together in community is an essential aspect of the college seminary program.

He and Sister Mary Raphael of the Daughters of the Virgin Mother, which supports the college seminary and priests of the diocese, went out to the site recently to bury Miraculous Medals, St. Benedict Medals and palm branches all around the perimeter of the footings before the concrete was poured.

Fundraising for the project is also going positively, diocesan leaders report.

To date, more than $9 million – including two donors who committed a total of $3 million – has been raised through private donations towards the $20 million goal for the project, which will be the only college seminary lo-

Jim Kelley, diocesan director of development, noted that the campaign is going particularly well despite coming on the heels of the diocese’s unprecedented $65 million “Forward in Faith, Hope, and Love” campaign to fund current and future needs for all 92 parishes, as well as diocesan ministries and schools.

Kelley believes the St. Joseph College Seminary project is having positive results because of Bishop Jugis’ long-held commitment to nurturing vocations in the growing diocese.

“Bishop Jugis made vocations one of four priorities he set as bishop,” Kelley said.

“He started Quo Vadis Days (a week-long discernment retreat for young men held each summer), which is bearing fruit with hundreds of young men taking part over the last few years.

“An outcrop of participation in Quo Vadis Days is St. Joseph College Seminary, to provide a place right here in the diocese for men who want to begin to study for the priesthood right out of high school.”

A 2019 Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate survey of the Ordination Class of 2019 found that nationally this year’s ordinands on average began thinking about becoming a diocesan priest at the age of 15. And a previous CARA study found

that 350,000 Catholic men had seriously considered the priesthood in high school but only 1,000 of those men entered formation after college, Kelley noted.

The building project is an outward sign of God’s hand at work in the diocese, Father Kauth said.

“As we have said from the beginning, the building simply helps us to build the man,” he said. “So while I am excited, I am yet more interested in the men who are being built. As beautiful and noble as the structure will be which houses them, I am confident that much more beautiful are the souls of the men who are graduating. Anyone who has contact with them would agree.”

by then, too.

The two-story, Gothicstyled building is expected to be substantially completed in March 2020, Sapp said.

It will include a chapel, classroom, library, conference rooms, a kitchen and refectory (cafeteria), faculty offices, and a guest room for speakers and visiting priests.

It will also include 40 dorm rooms or “cells” for the college seminarians. The original plans called for 20 cells, but enrollment at the college seminary has already exceeded that number.

second-floor concrete slabs were poured for the residential wing. More steel and concrete structure work will be completed soon, then in July workers will start the exterior masonry.

“The exterior masonry is beautiful and complex,” Sapp said, noting that this work is expected to run into February 2020.

If weather cooperates, he said, the framing and roofing should be complete and windows installed by the end of July. Sapp also expects that the plumbing, mechanical and electrical rough-in work will be at least half finished

her grands excel in their interests. She loved watching them and giving them “a little piece of money”.

Following the death of her husband, Harold. Lib went on to marry James Broome. He has two sons Mike (Gail) and Stan (Sara).

Before Jim’s death they both loved to travel.

Dizzy spent her last years at Terrace Ridge Assisted Living.

We would like to thank them for always looking out for Dizzy and making sure she was on her best behavior.

Elizabeth grew up and was married, taught Sunday School for years at First Baptist Church in Mt. Holly.

Upon marrying Jim she joined Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

The family received friends Wednesday, May 29, 2019 at two o’clock with the service immediately following at three at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Mt. Holly.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking for Memorials to be made to the Children’s Fund at First Baptist Church, Mt. Holly, NC. Jeffrey S. Painter Funeral Director Licensee of Mount Holly is serving the family. www.jeffreyspainterfdl.com.

Stewardship and faith breed success Then God blessed Adam and Eve and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Then God said, “Look I have given you every seed bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.” NLT Genesis1:28-29 Several summers ago most of us Southerners stood on sun baked soil in our yards in the midst of watering restrictions, dry grass and brittle and parched “everything.” The buzzing locusts served up an unrelenting reminder of how dry everything was. Still, as stewards we all had to do what we could. For my part, I depended on well water to keep my vegetable garden and landscape plants alive.

While waiting out this dry spell, someone I met a couple miles away was definitely being fruitful through his stewardship and seemed to be experiencing a miracle.

John is a weathered farmer who owns two undeveloped subdivision property lots next to his home. He cultivates both with tomato plants and when I met John, what caught my eye were an uncountable number of 6 ft. tall hardy plants. John was in his yard and graciously spent a few minutes sharing his secrets with me.

He started tomato seeds in a heated shed with artificial lights in early January. After the last threat of frost, he planted his tomatoes in neat rows two feet apart and staked them up with 8 ft. poles. When his plants got three feet high he added two handfuls of general fertilizer at the base of each plant and let God

and nature take over from there. No elaborate irrigation system; no tireless toting of pails of water. Dennis Siracusa He completely relied on God to do what he couldn’t do and this formula had worked for John for several years.

I asked John “why he did it” and with a wizened gleam in his eye he said, “guess!” I figured he must be selling them to restaurants.

Nope. He sold everything word of mouth for the main purpose…. of putting a granddaughter through college.

In Mt 8:27; “The men (disciples) were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and waves and rain obey him;” and John 14:14 where Jesus told his disciples “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing.”

John hadn’t commanded rain to fall over his gardens nor had he shuttled water to them.

What he did, however, was responsibly plan his garden and water it with faith in Jesus; And just like John’s faith with his plants, that same faith is offered to all of us if we believe in Jesus and ask with the right motives….a desire to bless others whether it be tomatoes for friends, water for thirsty birds or college tuition and board for a precious granddaughter.

Historic Belmont Foundation has sign dedication The Historic Belmont Foundation had a sign dedication May 20 with about twenty folks in attendance.

This sign is the first of it’s kind marking the entrance to Belmont’s National Historic District, which was established in 1996 under the leadership of then mayor, Kevin Loftin. Belmont’s National Historic District encompasses 264 contributing structures, each of which are eligible for federal and state tax credits to taxpayers who rehabilitated historic buildings or their own homes. More info on that programs is available at www.historictaxcredits. org. The sign was a joint public/private partnership between the Historic Belmont Foundation (HBF) and the City of Belmont, splitting the cost 50/50.

It stands on East Catawba Street near the Chronicle Mill and is made of solid bronze.

Part of HBF’s mission is to promote education and awareness of Belmont’s National District and the associ-

Elizabeth Jones Friday Broome

to hear, when you needed to hear it with a smile on her face followed by, “well that’s just the way it is.”

Lib was born September 2, 1928 to Macy and Thamer Jones.

She was the second daughter born into a family of five boys and one girl.

Following her birth, three more girls were born to make the family complete with 10 children. She was raised on a farm outside of Mt. Holly and graduated from Mount Holly High School in 1947. Elizabeth was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Ed, Dick, Eugene, Hudson, Hillary, Patsy, and Rachel. Betty Marble (Fred) and Helen Killian (Don) are her surviving siblings.

Elizabeth, “Lib”, went on to marry Harold Friday and they would raise a family of one girl, Phyllis (Mac) and 2 boys, Steve (Beth), Mark (Nancy). We are relieved to know that Mark was there to greet her upon her grand entrance to heaven. He passed away in 2016, but due to dementia she never truly knew of his passing. Again, this was a gift of her dementia diagnosis for us.

It was upon her becoming a grandmother, that she would earn the moniker of “Dizzy”.

Grandchildren, Heather (Augustus), Ryan, Bret, Lathan and Isaac. Great Grandchildren Cayden, Claire and Milo. Dizzy loved to watch

A fanciful scarecrow in the garden.

A touch of Mt. Holly Community Garden whimsy.

GARDEN From Page 1 “We are going to have a mural painted on the side of the shed,” said Denison.

“We are putting out a call for artists.”

Furthering its connection to the arts, the garden will be a stop on the Plein Air Arts tour June 6-8.

The garden will also be a spot where folks can improve their health and enjoy nature at the same time.

“We will have yoga for all ages in the garden, starting June 6,” Denison said.

As it has in the past, this year the garden will also be featuring healthy cooking programs.

Garden members are also civic minded.

“We hope to donate over 2,000 pounds of produce to the Community Relief Organization,” Denison said.

The garden is also a small nature reserve.

Overall, the Mt. Holly Community Garden just keeps getting bigger and better every year and is a jewel-like location right in the middle of the downtown scene.

Garden visitors can sign a guest book located in this colorful mailbox.

An architectural rendering of the new CaroMont Critical Care facility.

HOSPITAL From Page 1 CaroMont Health. “This investment is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to this community and the thousands of patients who trust us to care for them.”

The most significant financial investment in the history of the health system comes as CaroMont Health looks to offer more convenient access to advanced healthcare in areas where population totals are expected to climb.

“With nearly 250,000 patient encounters every year at CaroMont Regional Medical Center, the hospital has experienced a very steady increase in patient volume over the last several years,” said Peek.

“Coupled with the projected growth of our community and the advancing age of our patient population, the need for hospitalbased care continues to rise. The construction of a second hospital in Belmont will extend our clinical network to better serve communities in the eastern part of Gaston County, and the expansion of critical care services at CaroMont Regional Medical Center will firmly establish the main hospital as a central hub for advanced medical and surgical care in our region.”

The allocation of health-

care services is guided by the North Carolina State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP), a document prepared annually at the direction of the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services Division of Health Service Regulation and the North Carolina State Health Coordinating Council. The 2019 SMFP outlines the need for 33 additional hospital beds in Gaston County, with more expected in the 2020 plan.

In the coming months, the health system will seek to obtain the Certificate of Need (CON) required to build and open the new hospital, and will also pursue the necessary regulatory approval to reallocate and add critical care beds to the main campus.

Critical Care Expansion at CaroMont Regional Medical Center The construction of a second patient tower on the campus of CaroMont Regional Medical will expand critical care services at the hospital, an area that already sees large patient volumes. The planned expansion, currently estimated to open as early as 2022, will offer approximately 50 additional patient rooms with a floor plan designed to maximize care de-

livery and patient experience.

Medical offices in Cramerton, Bessemer City, Gastonia Also included is the construction of a 22,000-square-foot family medicine practice in Cramerton, expected to open later this year, and the opening of a new family medicine practice in Bessemer City, expected to welcome patients this summer. Still in development are plans for medical office buildings on and around the main hospital campus.

CaroMont Regional Medical Center-Belmont While services are still being planned for CaroMont Regional Medical CenterBelmont, the facility is expected to offer an emergency department, inpatient units for patients requiring admission or observation, a labor and delivery unit, and a full complement of diagnostic services including laboratory and imaging. Pending CON approval, the hospital could open as early as 2023.

CaroMont Health has selected a site near the crossing of Highway 273 and Interstate 85 to build the new hospital. Owned by Belmont Abbey, the founder and sponsor of Belmont Abbey College, the property lies ad-

The health system will enter into a long-term agreement to lease the land and plans to support Belmont Abbey College’s future establishment of a health sciences program.

“Belmont Abbey College exemplifies the true spirit of our community – one of progress, integrity, excellence and virtue – and shares many of our core values,” said Peek. “Much like healthcare, education has the unique ability to enrich and support not only the recipient, but also all who surround them. A highly regarded institution like Belmont Abbey, focused on the advancement of others, strengthens our community. We are proud to be part of such a historic moment.”

Belmont Abbey College leadership echoed praise for the partnership.

“The monks of Belmont

Abbey happily welcome this exciting opportunity for Belmont Abbey College and CaroMont Health to combine our shared values and cooperate in promoting the welfare of our Gaston County community and its future growth and prosperity,” said Abbot Placid Solari, O.S.B., of the Belmont Abbey monastic community.

“Bringing together two remarkable and storied institutions, the partnership between CaroMont Health, a leading healthcare provider, and Belmont Abbey College, a leading institution of higher education, is a game changer for the region and beyond.

We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with CaroMont Health to provide the highest levels of medical care and academic excellence,” said Dr. Bill Thierfelder, president of Belmont Abbey College.

CaroMont Health Board of Directors Chairman Donnie Loftis acknowledged the historic nature of the announcement and what it means for so many in the community.

“As we embark upon a time of incredible expansion and growth for CaroMont Health, we must acknowledge the visionary leadership of so many who have come before us, those who worked tirelessly to ensure a small hospital grew into a strong and thriving health system,” said Loftis. “The next phase in CaroMont Health’s history is made possible through the guidance of the Board of Directors, the expertise of our healthcare professionals, the support of our community and the trust of our patients.”

Graduation time in America school counselors. College is not for everyone. Seriously consider spending the first year at a community college. That is typically a savings of thousands of dollars. Also, seriously consider a trade school. Trade school studies can typically be completed in one to two years. The savings has been estimated to be as much as $75,000 compared to a fouryear degree. You will also have a two-year early entry into the workforce. On average you’ll earn $10,000 to $15,000 less than average college graduates but you’ll have less debt and you might even have better job security.

Your job as an electrician, plumber, machinist, pharmacy technician, dental hygienist and many others will keep you in the work force as

long as you want to work.

I’m grateful I had the opportunity to complete a college degree and beyond.

I wanted to and it’s worked out great for me. A college education is a very rewarding option for many of America’s young adults but not everybody. Think about it. Make a plan. Talk to others. Don’t just arbitrarily go into debt. If you have a dream and a passion that a college degree will help you fulfill then you won’t feel so bad paying off debt. If you are clueless about how you will use your college degree then sit down with someone and talk about your life, your goals and your best avenue of achieving them.

It’s your life and your future. Make the best of it and happy graduation!

Gaston College’s President Dr. Patricia Skinner announces plans to retire in 2020 Gaston College President Dr. Patricia Skinner has announced her plans to retire in March 2020. The announcement marks a milestone in her more than 50-year career in higher education in Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina. In August of this year, she will have served as President of Gaston College for 25 years. She is the first woman and fourth president to lead the 2-year community college that serves Gaston and Lincoln counties.

“It has been an honor and privilege to serve as president of Gaston College. I came at a time when the College was poised for growth and expansion,” said Dr. Patricia Skinner. “This college has become an integral part of Gaston and Lincoln counties, and I am grateful for the tremendous support the College has received over the years from our many talented students, dedicated faculty and staff, community, county and statewide partners, members of

stats are closer to $40,000 with some graduates having debt over $100,000. Most sources seem to agree that about 70% of college graduates have debt and over 40 million Americans owe $1.4 trillion in student loans.

The Federal Reserve reports there are 6.8 million student loan borrowers between the ages of 40 and 49 and that these graduates collectively are $229.6 billion in debt. This means that Americans in their forties with debt from student loans have an average balance of $33,765.

The result of this is a decrease in home ownership and the probability that retirement will be pushed up to age 75 for many Americans.

The medical, law, or other various post college graduate may have spent more than one third of their lives achieving their milestone commencement ceremony.

Families rejoice at the accomplishment and the graduate is now ready to embark on what the education has been all about - work and often lots of debt to repay.

American Legion baseball season is underway

By Art Shoemaker The Gaston Braves opened the 2019 season before a large and supportive crowd at East Gaston with a hard fought victory against Lincoln Co. by a 10-8 score.

Lincoln Co. opened strong in posting a four spot in the opening frame. Cameron Cook, the starting hurler for the the Braves, struggled early but settled down and pitched well in his five innings on the hill. Cook is a control pitcher who the coaches feel will be a top pitcher for the Braves this summer.

Two South Pointers finished up on the mound for the Braves. Grayson Thomas worked 1 1/3 innings and Jacob Landis came on with tying runners aboard for Lincoln Co. and recorded the final two outs.

After Lincoln Co. jumped

ahead early the Braves battled back in posting two tallies in both the first and second innings. The Braves scored a single run in the fifth frame and sealed the victory by scoring five runs in the sixth inning.

A former Stuart Cramer standout, Wesley Hall, had a very impressive outing at the plate for the Braves. Hall stroked three doubles, scored two runs and had four RBI’s.

Andrew Warren added two hits for the Braves with a RBI and scored twice. Both Carter Merrill and Jayson Szot had hits that produced runs.

Additionally Dosi Jonas, a former East Gaston Warrior, looked good at the dish for the Braves.

Coaches Mark King and Kenneth Pasour commented post game that they were very impressed with how the team

battled back after being down early. The coaches also were pleased with the energy and hustle by the team and how the new players are fitting in.

Last Saturday night the Braves traveled to again play Lincoln Co. at East Lincoln High School. The G-Braves fell a run short in losing by a 6-5 score.

The Braves tallied a run in the first inning and four more in the top of the seventh frame. Earlier in the game Lincoln Co. had scored two runs in the first inning and added single runs in the fourth and sixth inning. In entering their last at bat the Lincoln Co. squad trailed by a run. The home standing Lincoln team answered the

G-Braves Stuart Cramer kids from left to right - Dayton Richardson, Jason Maggs, Carter Merrill, Cameron Cook, Wesley Hall.

Belmont Classic 5K marks 15 year anniversary

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Fifteen years ago a few people had an idea. That idea blossomed into the Belmont Classic 5K, an annual event that is now part of the fabric of the Belmont community.

In 2004 members of the Belmont Police Department and Belmont Police Citizens Academy Alumni Association (BCPAAA) tried to come up with a way to raise funds for the PD. The BCPAAA members are graduates of the department’s citizen’s police academy.

After banging around a couple of ideas it was decided that the Belmont Police Department and the BCPAAA would host a 5K run.

It was decided that a scenic route would be laid out.

One that would take runners around and through downtown Belmont.

Once the course was mapped out and how to maintain the safety of the runner was worked out the race was on.

The first races didn’t garner the support they do today, but it was the start of something special.

Over the years the race has grown little by little. It’s now a full-fledged operation.

This year’s race was organized by Sergeant Allen Buchanon and Ken Taylor, the treasurer/secretary of the BCPAAA. Buchanon and Taylor put a lot of time and effort into getting the race together.

Months of preparation are put in lining up sponsors and getting the logistics sorted out.

Things have to be done right.

As tough as the preparation is, Sgt Buchanon, a 14 year veteran of the force, seems up to the challenge.

“This will be my second time coordinating the race,” Buchanan said.

Sgt. Buchanon understands that this race means a lot to many different people. He also knows that some people have traveled quite a ways to participate.

“We have people coming from all over the country,” Buchanon added.

As Sergeant Buchanon explained how the race day events will unfold he stresses how grateful he is to the BCPAAA. Sgt Buchanon believes that their support has been invaluable to the department over the years.

“The proceeds are used to buy police equipment,” Buchanon explained. “This is for things that are not figured in the budget.”

In other words, the race helps fund things for the police department that the taxpayers

of Belmont will never need to foot the bill for.

To make the race run smoothly Buchanon coordinates with his fellow officers and a host of volunteers.

The officers and volunteers block roadways and helped direct traffic to make sure that the runners have a safe route.

This year the department even had cadets of the United States Air Force Civil Air Patrol helping provide traffic control.

Come race day runners of all skill levels come out to run.

This year over 200 runners came out.

While many of the runners are local and come from states such as North Carolina Tennessee and South Carolina, some came from far and wide.

“We have runners from Maine, New York, and California,” Taylor added.

Once the race starts everybody pushes it according to their skill level. It’s interesting to watch different people run.

Some runners are serious while some are just casual participants.

Heck, some people even run with their dogs.

This was a race where everyone could have fun.

As the race was underway one special group of runners really stood out.

These runners didn’t just run to have fun, they ran to help those that were unable to run.

The runners of F3 Gastonia provided some very special “runners” with an opportunity to do something that they may never have been able to do.

F3 is a faith-based group of people that like to run that work with people with disabilities.

At the Belmont Classic 5K, the F3 runners pushed the disabled participants in special mobility chairs.

The chairs are a sort of complex tricycle that allows a disabled person the experience of participating in the race.

The look on the faces of the “runners” being pushed by F3 members was priceless.

The F3 guys and the runners they were pushing were having a blast As everyone waited for the first runners to make it to the finish line people gathered in the parking lot and sidewalks of the Belmont Police Department.

The department, located on Chronicle Street served as the finish point for the race.

As everyone waited people chatted and kids played.

The little ones had a special treat as they jumped and danced in a cloud of bubbles provided by DJ Brown’s Uptown Sound.

The first runner, A. Inman of Gastonia came in at 16:09.

The first female runner, Kristen Bonsor of Tennessee

came in at 19:29.

Over the next hour or so the 200 runners made their way to the finish line.

After the final runner checked in everyone reloaded and everybody got to run again.

This time it was for the fun run.

After the last of the fun runners made it across the finish line everybody assembled for the award ceremony.

Before the awards were handed out Ken Taylor took

a moment to thank the various sponsors, police officers and volunteers for all their hard work.

After Taylor finished thanking everyone Chief Chad Hawkins and members of his staff handed out awards to the

winners.

After the last award was given out people posed for pictures and continue to chat.

Based on the response of the people there it’s fair to say that the 15th annual Belmont Classic 5K was a success.

East Gaston all-stars commit to play college ball

by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Two East Gaston lady student-athletes are going to be moving on to play college ball.

If you think about it that’s a big deal. Many times when athletes graduate from high school their playing days are over. But that won’t be the case for East Gaston standouts Emily Allen and Aubrey Nicholson.

Emily Allen is a four-year starter with the East Gaston softball team who recently signed with North Greenville University.

During her time at East Gaston Allen proved herself to be an indispensable player who has great leadership skills.

“She is a hard worker,” head coach Kaci Wilcox said.

“She’s the first on the field and the last to leave.”

Emily is a versatile player that can play catcher and third base.

During the first three years of her career at EG Emily played catcher. However, last year she was asked to play third base.

On Memorial Day, we as a grateful nation, remembered those faithful men and women who sacrificed their lives so that we could be free. We remember those who put others before themselves. As we remember, we are reminded of our own life’s journey. As followers of Jesus, whether new or long timed Christians, we are on a faith journey.

Deuteronomy 34:1-12 records one of Israel’s greatest prophets, Moses, as he ended his own journey of faith in God. Moses had been a Hebrew slave in Egypt, he was raised as a prince by Pharaoh’s daughter. Moses would later flee to the land of Midian, where God spoke to him in a burning bush, sending him to Egypt to deliver Israel. Through God’s miracles and signs, Moses lead Israel out of Egypt on the way to the Promised Land. He endured forty years of wilderness wanderings as Israel rebelled against God. Finally, Moses stood on Mt. Pisgah, overlooking the Promised Land. Moses had sinned himself, when he brought water out of a rock for Israel, without giving the glory to God. Because of this, God let Moses see the Promised Land, yet he could not enter. Moses saw all of future Israel, the valleys and beautiful land. On the mountain, Moses died. Never again was there a prophet like Moses who talked with God face to face.

I would imagine as Moses stood on that mountain gazing into the Promised Land, he reflected on his journey of faith, all of the

things God had done through him, and all of the places he had been.

Our faith journey is not always what we wanted, or planned. Moses had led Israel all the way Rev. Trent Tankin to the edge of the long awaited Promised Land. He had fully expected to enter and lead Israel. He did not count on Joshua being the future leader. I often think during Memorial Day of thousands of young men and women who had planned on long lives, marriages, and children, only to lose their lives in the defense of their nation. Sometimes our journey with God may not be what we had envisioned. Perhaps God has brought you to a place in life that is completely different than you had planned. Our faith journey may not be what we planned, yet it is exactly what God planned. God had called Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt to the promised Land. God had called Joshua to lead them in. As Moses stood on the mountain, he had fulfilled God’s will for his life.

I do not know where you are in your faith journey with God, but take a moment to remember where you have been, where you are, and where God may be leading you.

Your journey will take a confident, trusting, and persevering faith in the midst of a harsh world. Wherever you are in your journey, stay the course. You are headed to the Promised Land too, heaven! Your journey may not be what you planned, yet it is exactly what God wills for you.

East Gaston’s Emily Allen recently signed to play softball with North Greenville University Emily is flanked by her dad Eric Allen, East Gaston Athletic Director Ryan Rezendez, coach Kaci Wilcox and principal Jennifer Reep.

In 2019 Allen proved that it really didn’t matter where she lined up. She was going to get the job done.

Emily has a cannon arm and fantastic field instincts.

“As a catcher, no one wants to steal on her,” coach Wilcox noted. “In the field, she is aggressive and is always where the ball is.”

Allen’s statistics are phenomenal.

In 2019 she had a .449 batting average, 23 RBIs, a .561 on-base percentage and .612 slugging percentage.

Allen’s peers have immense respect for her.

Emily was selected to the Southwestern 2A All-Conference team in 2018 and 2019. In 2018 she was named the conference’s player of the year.

Aubrey Nicholson is also a four-year starter who recently signed with North Carolina Wesleyan to play volleyball.

Nicholson is a player that is well-rounded. As an outside hitter, Aubrey can contribute on offense and defense.

“She has a powerful swing and is a great server,” head coach Kaci Wilcox said Nicholson is the kind of player that gives one hundred percent all the time.

Coach Wilcox, who coaches volleyball as well as softball thinks highly of Aubrey.

“It’s not uncommon for her to go after the ball,” Wilcox noted. “She isn’t afraid to hit the floor.”

During her senior year, Nicholson posted some impressive numbers.

In her final year as a Lady Warrior Nicholson recorded 147 Kills, 57 Aces and 133 Digs.

Nicholson also received 187 serves this year.

Aubrey was also the recipient of several postseason honors as well.

She was named to the Southwestern 2A All-Conference team in 2017 and 2018.

Abbey catcher named Athlete of Year Belmont Abbey catcher Claire Doyle has been named Conference Carolinas Scholar-Athlete of the Year for Softball, the league office announced. The prestigious award, voted by the Student-Athlete Affairs Committee, is presented annually to one student-athlete in each sport for recognition of their outstanding performance both on the field and in the classroom.

As a junior, Doyle stood out as a leader both in the classroom and on the field. Carrying a 3.94 GPA as a double major in both psychology and educational studies, the Jacksonville, Fla. native was named to the Academic All-Conference team.

On the field, Doyle was a First-Team All-Conference Carolinas selection, leading the Crusaders and standing fourth in the league with a .406 average. She stood fifth in the league in hits and 14th in doubles, leading or sharing the team lead in both. Doyle was a Google Cloud/CoSIDA Academic All-District selection and is under consideration for Academic All-America honors.

A total of 98 Belmont Abbey student-athletes were conferred degrees on May 18 as the College conducted its annual graduation ceremonies. Graduates were presented their diplomas by Chancellor Abbot Placid Solari, O.S.B., and President Dr. William Thierfelder in front of the Abbey Basilica of Mary Help of Christians.

Abbey basketball coach resigns Belmont Abbey men’s basketball coach Billy Taylor has resigned his position to become an assistant coach at the University of Iowa, Director of Athletics Stephen Miss announced. The resignation is effective immediately.

During his three-year tenure, Taylor led the Crusaders to a 49-42 mark, including two Conference Carolinas championship game appearances. This past season, The Abbey posted a 23-8 record, its most wins since 200203, and narrowly missed an NCAA Division II Tournament berth. The Crusaders earned road wins over nationally-ranked Queens and Barton and spent much of the season in the D2SIDA Southeast Region poll and receiving votes in the NABC national poll.

“It is with heartfelt gratitude that we thank Coach Taylor for all his good work

on behalf of Belmont Abbey College, our Department of Athletics, and our Men’s Basketball Program the past three years,” Miss said. “In addition, we wish Avlon, Billy, and their entire family all the best going forward as they embark on their next chapter together. With a strong group of students returning from last year’s very competitive team bolstered by a solid recruiting class of incoming students, the future is very bright for Crusader men’s basketball, and we look forward to continued success on the court, in the classroom, and in the community during the 2019-20 academic year and beyond.”

Belmont Abbey returns four starters from the 201819 team, three of whom were sophomores and freshmen. Among the four is rising senior DeQuan Abrom, who was voted Conference

Coach Billy Taylor Carolinas Player of the Year, first-team all-conference and all-region. He led the league and was ninth nationally in scoring at 24.7 points per

game. Rising junior Romeao Ferguson was also a firstteam all-conference pick.

A national search will begin immediately.

Valentine named to All-Conference Student Support Team Junior volleyball player Carie Valentine (pictured) has been named as Belmont Abbey’s representative to the 2019 Conference Carolinas All-Conference Student Support Team, the conference office has announced.

The All-Conference Student Support Team was created in 2016-17 to recognize one student from each member institution who supports an athletic team and/or athletic department through service. Examples of service include, but are not limited to: team managers, statistical support, video service, and/or game day operations support.

To be eligible for the

Conference Carolinas AllConference Student Support Team a student must meet the following criteria: Junior or senior academic status as determined by the Registrar’s Office. Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale on all work completed at the member institution. Must have completed at least two full-time semesters at the member institution.

A student-athlete who has exhausted their eligibility is eligible to win this award if they are assisting their former team and/or athletic department in such a manner as described above.

Her 91 goals were second in Conference Carolinas, and tied for fifth in the country. She also caused 27 turnovers on the year, the most of any attacker in the conference.
