Juneteenth event held in Belmont By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

A large crowd of folks attended Belmont’s Juneteenth event that was held in Stowe Park last Saturday. Belmont’s Juneteenth celebration featured local entertainers, artifacts, speeches, a variety of vendors, and food Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is the

aging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures. Belmont has a tradition of recognizing Juneteenth. “The Juneteenth idea was introduced by former Belmont city councilwoman Anna Young,” said Elements of Empowerment board vice chair Vince Hill. “From there city council recruited a See JUNTEENTH, Page 8

Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston , Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. These days, Juneteenth celebrates African American freedom and achievement, while encour-

Plein Air artists capture Mt. Holly beauty By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

There’s plenty of natural beauty in and around Mt. Holly and a group of artists recently put some of those images to paper and canvas. The Plein Air art event was held June 7 and 8 and saw

around 15 artists, including several youngsters, participate despite the fact that it rained a good deal of the time. So, what is Plein Air art? It’s a manner or style of painting developed chiefly in France in the mid-19th century, characterized by the

The City of Belmont and Town of Cramerton have approved their FY2019-2020 municipal budgets. The Belmont city council approved the budget June 3, 2019, and it becomes effective on July 1, 2019. Belmont’s total budget including General Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Stormwater Fund, Capital Reserve Utility Fund, and Tourism Development Fund tallied $25,861,150. The biggest contributors to this increase is a 42% increase in the Water & Sewer Fund and a 12% increase in the General Fund from the adopted FY 2018-2019 budget. The increase in the Water & Sewer Fund is due primarily to a 131% increase in funding for much-needed

capital investments. The increase in the General Fund is due to increased funding for capital projects, funding for the City’s savings account, and for additional staff positions needed to provide the services our residents expect. In addition, the Stormwater Fund is increased by 71%, which will allow the City to address long-deferred drainage projects. The proposed General Fund budget for FY 20192020 totals $14,202,231, an increase of 12% from the originally adopted FY 20182019 budget of $12,393,100. The largest source of General Fund revenue is from Ad Valorem Taxes, often referred to as property taxes. Over the past ten years, the City has experienced an average an-

nual increase in its property tax revenue of 3.5%. Over the course of the current fiscal year, the City has seen an increase in property tax revenue of 13.5% over the previous fiscal year. The increase this year is due to the 8.5% increase in the tax rate this year and to the 5% growth in the tax base over the previous year. The City projects an increase in Ad Valorem revenue collection of 28% over the current fiscal year’s adopted budget amount. That’s a 4% increase in the City’s tax base due to natural growth over the current year’s collection and a 24% increase to the tax base from the recently completed Gaston See BUDGETS, Page 4

ARTISTS From Page 1 out of doors and representing a direct response to the scene or subject in front of the artist having the qualities of air and natural light. Arts on the Greenway Foundation was the Mt. Holly Plein Air event title sponsor. Arts Mt. Holly was the host. Arts on the Greenway was the location host. Participants gathered at the Arts on the Greeway headquarters (former Massey Building) where they checked in and were given packets and name tags. ‘They were set free with a snack to go paint,” said Nancy Kennedy. “They had to bring work back at the end of the day. To be Plein Air it had to be 80 percent done on location.” Places the artists had to choose from to set up their easels included Tailrace Marina, the Mt. Holly Community Garden, the Mt. Holly Farmer’s market, Redlair Plant Conservation Preserve, the historic Oakleigh Home, downtown Mt. Holly, and Tuckaseege Baptist Church. At the close of the day, the artists returned to the Arts on the Greenway building where they enjoyed an awards ceremony. A lot of work went into making the Plein Air event a success. “It took about four months of planning, and getting sites approved” Kennedy said. “Arts Mt. Holly helped a lot.” Julia Benfield is current chair of Arts Mt. Holly which is a subcommittee of the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation. She explained how the group evolved. “In 2017, the Foundation began to work with local artist and other area organizations to seek interest in growing art in the community,” Benfield

Nancy Jo Sauser and Stephanie McLaughlin, Arts on the Greenway artists, share cover from the rain as they paint downtown scenes from the Mt Holly Community Garden.

Mount Holly Farmer’s Market with Kassi Yancey of Kindness Flowers, locally grown, with Nancy Kennedy’s painting inspired by their beauty. Photos by Rich Sauser said. “In 2019, a subcommittee of the MHCDF was formed and named Arts Mount Holly with a vision that Mount Holly is the place to be for inspiration, education, and unity through immersive experiences the arts while nurturing creativity in everyday life. Our mission statement is Arts Mount Holly collaborates with artists and advocates to plan, promote, and fund a widerange of creative and educational and cultural endeavors that invite community involvement. Arts Mount Holly is a project and event based organization that works to promote all aspects of the Arts in Mount Holly.” The future looks bright for Arts Mt. Holly with several more events slated including a Pub Theater event on October 19, the 2nd Annual downtown Lantern parade on October 26 and a Holiday Scavenger / Geocache Hunt on November 16.

From Page 1 County property revaluation. The total value of all taxable properties within Belmont is $1,546,270,047. The revenue neutral tax rate resulting from this revaluation is $0.465 per $100 of taxable property valuation. This budget keeps the property tax rate steady at $0.515 per $100 of taxable property valuation. The vehicle license tax of $15 per vehicle also remains the same in this budget. This budget estimates a 4% increase in local option sales tax revenue compared to the current fiscal year. The City estimates this revenue source bringing in $2,340,000 next year. The monthly solid waste fee will decrease from $9 per household and business to $7 per household and business. This reduced fee of $7 per month will cover 50% of the cost of providing the service, with the other 50% coming from property taxes. These services include weekly garbage collection and biweekly recycling and yard waste collection. NC General Statutes require that municipalities adopt a balanced budget. As is the case with revenues, overall General Fund expenditures are projected to be $14,202,231, an increase of 12% from the adopted FY 2018-2019 budget amount of $12,393,100. The largest share of Belmont expenditures continues to be found in personnel costs, which represents 46% of the General Fund. This is down slightly from 47% in the current budget and is down from 54% of the General Fund in FY 2017-2018. This budget adds 12 new fulltime positions that will allow the City to provide continue providing high quality services to our growing town.

These positions are: Assistant City Manager, two Police Officers (paid for by a grant) Associate Planner, three Firefighters (to offset overtime), Public Works Administrative Assistant, three Public Works Technicians for Streets/Parks Parks and Recreation Office Manager. These positions are funded for one-half of the year, when staff will move into the new public works/municipal office building. The proposed budget for FY 2019-2020 includes a 2% cost-of-living salary increase for all employees so that their salaries keep up with inflation. It also offerings the possibility of an additional 3% salary increase to employees based on their annual performance evaluations. Funding for parks maintenance is doubled from the current amount of $60,000 to $120,000 in the proposed budget The current budget included $1.6 million for capital investments, and the proposed budget increases this to $1.8 million. These capital investments include construction of the long-anticipated Belmont Rail Trail, security cameras in parks and public areas, upgrades to Stowe Park, sidewalk maintenance, a replacement for an aging fire truck, new 800 MHZ radios for police vehicles, and replacement vehicles and equipment that our staff needs in order to do their jobs effectively and efficiently. The current year’s budget spends 11% of the General Fund on debt service. This level decreases in the proposed budget to 9% of the General Fund on debt service. In previous years when budgets were tight, the budget proposed taking money

from its fund balance (savings account) to balance the budget. Thanks to the work of the city council and staff, this proposed budget does the opposite. It includes $400,000 that will be put into the fund balance of the General Fund Overall Water and Sewer Fund revenues for FY 20192020 are projected to total $10,767,254, an increase of 42% as compared to the adopted FY 2018-2019 budget of $7,573,219. The primary cause for the increase in Water and Sewer Fund revenue is a 131% increase in funding for capital projects paid for by pulling $3.3 million from capital reserve. We are not recommending a change to the water and sewer rates for the upcoming fiscal year. Overall expenditures are also budgeted at $10,767,254, an increase of 42% as compared to the adopted FY 2018-2019 budget. The personnel and operating expenses in this fund are consistent with recent experience in water and sewer sales and the cost of providing these services to utility customers. The major increase in spending in this fund is a 131% increase in capital projects and investments in water and sewer infrastructure. This is on top of an 80% increase in funding for capital projects this year over last year. Stormwater Fund revenues are projected to total $786,665, which is the 74% higher than the adopted FY2018-2019 budget. This increase is due to a recommended increase in the storm-

water fee of $2 per month. This would bring the stormwater fee to $5 per residence per month, with the rates for non-residential properties determined by the amount of impervious surface on each respective site. The budget for the Belmont Tourism Development Authority is increased from $95,000 to $105,000, which reflects the recent performance of this fund. The revenues for this fund are generated by a 3% room occupancy tax. Expenditure decisions are made by the designated Tourism Development Authority and must be for either promotional or tourism related activities. CRAMERTON The Cramerton Town Commissioners approved the budget on June 6. It also goes into effect on July 1, 2019. Cramerton’s total General Fund budget worked out to $4,998,600- a $485,500 (10.75%) increase over the FY2018-2019 budget. The Stormwater Fund added another $272,800. Cramerton’s tax rate will remain stable at $0.475 per $100 of assessed valuation. Total assessed value of property in Cramerton is $515,833,483 for FY20192020. This is an increase of $65,496,418 from FY20182019. Ad Valorem (property tax) projected revenues for FY2019-202 are estimated at $2,432,300. Cramerton’s total General Fund Revenues FY2019-2020

are estimated at $4,748,600. Fund balance expenditures for FY2019-2020 will include a merit pay increase of 2.5 % for Town employees effective January 1, 2020. The budget will include a number of upgrades for the Cramerton Police Department. A total of $11,800 will go towards better tactical vests, $26,000 for a more modern records system, and $196,000 for four SUVs. Cramerton Fire Department highlights includes $55,000 for an annual, 24/7, interlocal agreement with McAdenville for fire services as well as $2,200 in part time

BANNER-NEWS OBITUARIES

Rev. Johnnie Barker Rev. Johnnie A. Barker, age 97, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, June 14 at 5:55 pm. He was surrounded by his family. Rev. Barker was born in Gastonia, NC, son of the late Herbert Craig Barker and Blanche Badger Barker. In addition to Rev. Barkers parents he was also preceded in death by his loving wife of nearly 79 years Sadie Louise Harstin Barker, his brother Harley Barker and sisters Louise Hutchins, Irma Hannah and Frances Godwin. He is survived by his daughters, Amelia “Micki” Carpenter (Charles) of Columbia, SC; Rebecca “Becky” Erickson (Evan) of Columbia, SC; Rev. Kathy Taylor (Gerald) of Mt. Holly, NC; and Crystal Rose (Benny) of Mt. Holly, NC; Grandchildren: Butch Jenkins (Kandie), Richard Jenkins (Shannon), Tim Brown, Chris Brown, Jonathan Grigg (Joy), Jennifer Gonzalez, Lee Grigg (Tonya), Jessica Morton (Mark), and Jasmin Worley: 20 Great Grandchildren and 14 Great Great Grandchildren. Rev. Barker was a United States Army Veteran of World War II who served as a rifleman with the 168th Infantry Regiment of the infamous 34th Infantry Division, a division of the Army Na-

tional Guard, also known as the Red Bull Division which holds the distinction of being the first U.S. Army division deployed to Europe in World War II. The division was credited with more combat days than any other division in the war and there is little to no doubt the division took the most enemy-defended hills of any division in the European Theater. It took the combined force of five allied infantry divisions to finish what the 34th nearly accomplished on its own. He fought heroically in combat during the North Apennines and Po Valley Campaigns for 13 months defeating and capturing enemy personnel and capturing enemy held installations until the enemy was halted May 2nd, 1945 with the German surrender in Italy. Among Johnnie’s awards and citations to recognize his service to our country are a Bronze Star Medal, for meritorious service in a combat zone; the Presidential Unit Citation, for heroism against the enemy in WWII; the Army Good Conduct Medal, for honorable and faithful service; the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with two bronze service stars, for service of U.S. Armed Forces personnel who performed military duty in the European Theater during WWII; the World War II Victory Medal; the Combat Infantry Badge, which recognizes the sacrifices of infantrymen who faced the greatest risk during the war; the Honorable Discharge “Ruptured Duck”

Lapel Pin and the French Croix de Guerre Medal, an award for bravery presented by the French military to those who fought with the Allies against the Axis force during WWII. He was honorably discharged as a Private First Class on December 11th, 1945. Rev. Barker and his wife Sadie founded Family Worship Center of Mt. Holly in 1962 where they pastored over 50 years. Rev. Barker founded Todays Ministries and The Prophetic Message. Many ministers have been ordained through Todays Ministries and have carried on the gospel of Jesus because of Rev. Barker’s teaching. Rev. Barker had a television ministry through The Prophetic Message and held many seminars in the United States and Africa teaching on prophecy. Rev. Barker’s passion was the book of Revelation and winning souls for the Kingdom of Heaven. He was loved and esteemed by many. Visitation with family was at Woodlawn Funeral Home Mt. Holly, NC from 6pm-8pm on Monday, June 17th. Funeral services were Tuesday at 2pm at Family Worship Center 1013 W. Charlotte Ave. (Hwy 27) Mt. Holly, NC conducted by Rev. Gerald Taylor and Rev. Howard Thompson. Interment with Military Honors followed at Hillcrest Gardens Cemetery, Mount Holly. Memorials may be made to the Family Worship Center, P.O. Box 731 Mount Holly, NC 28120.

Coming home Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org

As we celebrated Father’s Day last Sunday, we remembered just how important dads are to each of us. When we think of our fathers, we think of men who love, protect, and provide for their children. In all of the great attributes of fathers, we see the love and grace of the heavenly Father reflected. No greater example for a father can be found than what we see in God the Father. Luke 15:11-32 gives us the great parable of the prodigal son. A father had two sons. The younger asked for his portion of his father’s inheritance. His father gave it to him, and he left to go to a faraway place. He wasted the inheritance and found himself broke and lonely. During this time, a famine broke out and he was hungry. He got a job feeding pigs. He was so hungry, that he was jealous of the pigs’ food. He finally came to his senses, noting that even his father’s hired servants had plenty to eat. He decided to return home and ask his father to make him a servant. As he approached home, his father saw him, and ran to meet him. He embraced him and threw a party to celebrate his return. His son was lost, but now he was home. In this well-known story, the father shows us a great example of what fathers should be.

Fathers provide for their children. Just as this father worked hard to leave his sons an inheritance, fathers today work hard to provide for their Rev. Trent Tankin children’s needs. Fathers love unconditionally. This father never stopped loving his son, no matter how much he rebelled. Our children need to know how much they are loved by their fathers. One thing the son in this story could count on, was he was able to go home. His father was waiting. Perhaps his father had stood waiting every day until he finally saw his son coming down the road that day. No matter what happens, and where life takes us, we should always be able to count on our fathers. In this story Jesus gave us so long ago, we see the father of the story represents God. God, our Father, provides for us. He meets our needs, and gives us many of our wants. He loves us unconditionally, no matter how much we sin, or how far we fall away. We can always come home to God. Today, for those of us who are fathers, may we father like the Father. May our example for a loving, caring, merciful father, be found in our Father, God. Wherever life takes us, in God, we can always come home. If you do not know Jesus, come home to Him today!

tions and events. Board chair Sanders talked about the growth of Juneteenth in our region. “Juneteenth is important to the City of Belmont, because they were at the forefront in bringing the celebration to Gaston County,” she said. “In the eight years since its inception, the Belmont Juneteenth has become a model to replicated. Knowledge of the event and its meaning have increased. Interest in the event resulted in a collaboration between Elements of Empowerment, Inc, and the City of Bessemer City and a Friday night Juneteenth event in that city. Both events were mutually promoted, supported, and attended.” Hill also sees Juneteenth’s growth potential. “Our vision has always been for the Juneteenth celebration to be a regional event,” he said. “It will take county-wide involvement to fulfill that vision. We are well on the way with the entry of Bessemer City this year. While Belmont Stowe Park, in our opinion, is the most perfect location for the

Meditations

Gaston County Travel & Tourism announces Tourism Grant Application, Award Cycle

Practice self control I was in discussion with my dental hygienist. Well, as far as a conversation can go when your mouth is open, and teeth are being cleaned. We were discussing the lost art of self-discipline in our culture today. Some of our friends use grocery stores new online shopping. Someone shops for them, and they drive to pick up their groceries. I understand when schedules are tight, this saves on time. But, some say they use this option because they are not disciplined to go into a store to stick to a grocery list. Therefore, they spend more than they intended. I see this lack of discipline in many areas of our lives. Just visit an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Even marriage is taken lightly. Marriage today is no longer, “Till death do us part.” Instead, I will stay married until someone else comes along. Holy living has become “passé” to some. For those who try to live holy, they are often called “old fashioned” or told “people just don’t think that way anymore. You are no longer relevant to the culture and age.” We all will struggle between flesh and spirit. “For in my inner self, I joyfully agree with God’s law. But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.” Romans 7:22-23 HCSB. Paul too wrestled with his flesh. He wanted to do what was right, but it was a continual battle. Like Paul, we want to do what is right. We know the principles we were taught to do what is right. But, what is this wrong we cling onto so tightly? Sin is something we cannot free ourselves from or control. How can we not permit our flesh to control us continually? Who can free us? “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this dying body? I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord!”

Thursday, June 20, 2019

Romans 7:24-25a HCSB. It is Jesus Christ who provides life and freedom. We still struggle with the flesh nature, but we now are strengthened Rev. Angela Pleasants with power through District the Spirit of God. It Superintendent is through the Holy of Catawba Valley Spirit; we can be vic- Methodist Churches torious over sin. “No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation, He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.” I Corinthians 10:13 HCSB. When we set our minds on things of the Spirit, we will grow in the attributes of the Lord. Yes, it may seem passé to the current age. But, Paul warns us not to be molded and brought to a low level of living by this present age. We continue to live in a world of rebellion. But, in Christ, we are promised the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is life because of righteousness. As we live daily in the Spirit, we will manifest the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit are not emotions, but the actions we live every day. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and yes, SELF-CONTROL. When athletes go into training for a game, they are disciplined in their nutrition, exercise, and mental ability. Like the athlete, we must grow in the fruit of self-control to live a life that is holy and pleasing to God.

Gaston County Travel & Tourism is pleased to release the schedule for its next tourism grant cycle coinciding with fiscal year 2020. Grant applications for events and programs that stimulate visitation from a radius of 50 miles or more will be accepted until the June 30, 2019 deadline. The Grants Committee of the Tourism Advisory Board will then evaluate applications and will make funding recommendations to the full board in our regularly scheduled August 20, 2019 Tourism Advisory Board meeting. Travel & Tourism staff will notify grant recipients of their award in writing by August 31, 2019. An application packet can be downloaded from our website at gogaston.org. Michael Applegate, Director of Gaston County Travel & Tourism stated “the goal of Travel & Tourism’s grant program is to grow Gaston County’s brand experiences that drive visitation and partner economic growth. Last year we had 19 total applications and awarded $85,000 to 12 deserving recipients.” Special consideration will be given to applicants that: Align with Travel & Tourism’s mission and strategic priorities; Attract visitors from outside the area thus

generating hotel room demand; Advance a positive image of Gaston County throughout the southeastern US; Provide evidence of tourism sales & marketing return on investment. Gaston County Travel & Tourism strives to make Gaston County the Piedmont’s premier outdoor rec-

reation destination. Visitors to Gaston County spend approximately $262 million annually, supporting 2,000 local jobs and generating over $19 million in state and local tax collections. Gaston County currently ranks #17 among North Carolina’s 100 counties in annual visitor expenditures.

Gastonia Grizzlies #11 Kyle King pitching in the final game of the week in Thomasville Sunday.

Page 13

Gastonia Grizzlies #11 Kyle King pitched five innings allowing two runs on four hits Monday night against the Asheboro Cop- The Grizzlies traveled to Finch Field in Thomasville, NC to take on the Hitoms Sunday afternoon. perheads.

Grizzlies heating up at just the right time By Dalton Sweezy daltonsweezy02@gmail.com

The first few weeks of the Coastal Plain League season are all about getting acclimated with one another and having fun. It just so happens that the Grizzlies have been able to do that, while at the same time winning 10 out of their first 14 games. In this early season, Gastonia has found themselves in a groove, and just hope to continue putting themselves in a position to win day in and day out. The week couldn’t have begun in a more important way as they took on the division leading Asheboro Copperheads. It was a cloudy and damp day at Sims Legion Park as the field continued its recovery from the previous weeks’ rain. A modest crowd of people and dogs alike filled the stadium on the first bark in the park night of the year. Though it was only the seventh game of the season, there was a definite feeling in the air that both teams wanted this win badly. So much so that the Grizzlies sent out their best pitcher as of yet, Kyle King to the mound. After an early Asheboro run in the first, the Grizzlies refused to stay quiet, putting up two runs of their own thanks to a two RBI single by left fielder Nathan Chevalier in the bottom of the inning. This unraveled the visibly frustrated Asheboro starter as he would go on to give up 7 earned runs before being removed from the game after only two innings of work. The Gastonia ambush was capped off by center fielder Jeremy Whitehead, who smashed a grand slam deep to right field that flew halfway up the grass berm over the bullpen. This set the tone for the night, as the Grizzlies offense continued to roll, and Kyle King began another dominant night on the mound. He finished his five innings of work giving up 1 earned run, off 4 hits, and 5 strikeouts. The Grizzlies made a statement in their first meeting with the Copperheads, winning by a final score of 16-5.

Coming off of the big win, Gastonia travelled to Florence to take on the RedWolves, looking to keep their momentum going. Grizzlies starter Chase Covington, out of Charlotte, did not have a good night, giving up four runs in the first inning, before being removed without recording an out. Thankfully, the good work by the Gastonia bullpen led by North Greenville Freshman, Grayson Hickert, was enough to keep them in the game. Gastonia’s potent offense did the rest as the Speed of Bill Hanna and the consistency of shortstop Jeff Cyr led the team to a tight 7-5 victory. After the Grizzlies home double header against the Owls was once again rained out on Wednesday, it was moved to Forest City to be played on the following night. Gastonia would eventually end up splitting the double header, winning the first game thanks to solid defense and a deep homerun off the bat of Jeff Cyr. Michael Brown was also a big contributor, having an RBI in each of the two seven inning games. Mitchell Holcomb took the mound in the first game, pitching six innings of 2 run ball to move to a 2-0 record on the year. The Grizzlies played well in the second game, but failed to turn a critical double play in the final inning, resulting in a fielder’s choice walkoff for the Owls. A tired Grizzlies team returned to Gastonia on the next night, for their first meeting with the third place Lexington County Blowfish. The wear of the grueling weeks’ schedule was evident, as they looked sluggish and didn’t have the same energy as they had on other nights. Starting pitcher Rohan Handa pitched well, but a tired bullpen allowed a nine run fifth inning, to cap off the 14-5 win for Lexington County. Gastonia didn’t have much time to rest as they hosted the Forest City Owls for the second double header of the week on the very next night. In times like this, where breaks are hard to come by and one has to dig

Gastonia Grizzlies #12 Bill Hanna collides with the pitcher while successfully scoring from third on a passed ball Sunday in Thomasville. Sophomore shortstop out of Nova Southeastern Jeff Cyr leads the Grizzlies in hitting early in the season. deep to find the will to win, Nova Southeastern shortstop, Jeff Cyr looks to his routine to get him through. In a way, that’s what the Coastal Plain League is all about. Learning how to take care of your body, and preserving yourself, to take on the challenge of an over 100 game minor league or even major league season. Cyr’s routine consists of going to the gym early, each and everyday, to make sure his body stays loose and ready to compete. He then hits the field for batting and fielding work, to prepare for the night’s game to come. Then after the game, he’ll do some dynamic stretches to prepare himself to go again the next day. The repetition and execution of this important routine is what makes him a standout player not only on the Grizzlies, but in the entire league. He prides himself on keeping a consistent plate approach and providing solid defense for Gastonia’s middle infield. Cyr’s driven to compete by the hope of one day continuing his baseball career at the next level. His goals in the Coastal Plain League are clear. “I want to come out here and display some talents in front of some scouts, and have a good time,” he said. I would say he’s succeeding so far leading the team in hitting in almost every category. He ranks first in the league in stolen bases with 15, and second in the league

in RBI’s behind Kendall McGowan of the Forest City Owls. Cyr has posted an astonishing .391 average in the first 14 games of the season. Gastonia would need him, and the rest of the team to dig deep in an important night of action, playing two against Forest City. The Grizzlies would go on to win the first game of the double header thanks to the complete game effort by starting pitcher, Gianni Smith out of NC A&T State. He pitched all seven innings of the shortened game, only allowing one run off six hits. The second game of the double header went just as well as the first, as the Grizzlies offense got going early with an RBI triple by right fielder Michael Brown. Forest City committed four errors in the game, allowing Gastonia to add on to the run total. College of Charleston Freshman, Landon Choboy finished off the night with a towering three-run home run

to give the Grizzlies the 13-5 victory. The last game of the week, took place at Finch Field where the Grizzlies were set to take on the Thomasville Hitoms for the second time of the year. There was a small but enthusiastic crowd on hand, as the game began a few minutes late on a lazy Sunday. The Grizzlies were able to start Kyle King for the second time of the week, looking to cap off an impressive period of play. After giving up two early runs, King settled in and delivered another quality start, going six innings and keeping the score right where it was. Jeff Cyr awoke the Grizzlies offense by banging an RBI double off of the wooden wall in deep left field. Gastonia’s speed played a factor once again, as they stole eight bases on the day, and scored on several wild pitches by the Hitoms staff. Chase Achuff was able to record his second save of the season for the Grizzlies,

as they held on to win by a final score of 6-4. The Grizzlies were able to finish their busiest week of the season with a 7-2 record. This was extremely important as Asheboro lost five times this week, providing a perfect opportunity for the Grizzlies to move ahead in the standings. This puts the Grizzlies at a 10-4 overall record, and exactly where they want to be at this point in the season. They find themselves at the end of three weeks, first place in the Western division, and 2.0 games ahead of the second place Asheboro Copperheads. Following their off day on Monday, the Grizzlies will travel to Savannah to take on the Bananas for the second time of the season. With their most difficult stretch of games behind them, the Grizzlies look to stay hot and continue their dominant play in the weeks leading up to the All-Star break.

Gastonia Grizzlies #1 Jeff Cyr takes his lead from first base as Thomasville Hitoms #10 Luke Spiva holds him on.

For Larry Dowdy Red Raider dreams do come true by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

South Point High School’s Male Athlete of the Year Larry Dowdy is a young man with a very bright future. As a kid growing up Larry wanted nothing more than to be a Red Raider. Little did he know that he would not only grow up to be a Red Raider, but he would also go on to be one of South Point’s all-time greats. “I started playing football when I was seven for the Little Red Raiders Pop Warner team,” Dowdy recalled. “Right now I’m six four and weigh 260 pounds, but then I was little at the time. I was underweight.” Larry didn’t play when he was eight, but when he was nine he played again having had a major growth spurt. Dowdy had fun playing Pop Warner. Some of the kids Larry played with would one day form the nucleus of South Point’s 2016 state championship team. “I played with Nick Muse,” Larry recalled. “Growing up I always knew our team would be special.” When Larry went to Belmont Middle School he continued to play football. He also ran track and wrestled. While Larry enjoyed track and wrestling, his first love was always football. During his time at Belmont Middle, Larry gave the Wildcats 100%, but he always had his eyes set on something more. “I always thought about high school,” Larry said. “I loved everything about South Point. Growing up I wanted to be a Red Raider.” As Larry reminiscences about attending South Point games as a kid, you can see the pride welling up inside him. “I would go to the games and I would throw a football around with the other kids,” Larry smiled. “I would watch the players. I always wanted to be those guys running down the hill in the red hats before the game.” During his formative years, Larry got a lot of encouragement from a big brother who had already run down that hill wearing the red and black. “My older brother Daniel Biggerstaff was probably the biggest influence in my life,” Larry said. “He got good grades and he was a very good player. When I was working out I would never skip a rep. I wanted to be just as good as he was.” After graduating from Belmont Middle Larry finally got his chance to be a Red Raider. When he first took the field he had no idea what was in store for him. Larry didn’t know at the time but he was about to be running down that hill in a red hat a lot sooner than he may have thought.

When Larry walked on to the practice field as a freshman he seemed to have caught the eye of South Point coaching legend Mickey Lineberger. “In my first summer practice I walked on the field with the other freshmen,” Larry recalled. “Coach South Point’s Male Athlete of the Year Lineberger just Larry Dowdy will attend Appalachian State next year after receiving an athletic schollooked at me.” Then coach arship.

He

believes that being good academically will help him on the field and in life. “I’ve always loved math that’s always been my favorite subject,” Larry went on to say. “I believe to be a good football player you have to be smart you have to know what’s coming at you at all times you have to study.” Larry Dowdy is a young man that South Point can truly be proud of. He’s hum-

ble, sincere and really has a grasp of what is going on in his life. For the next few years, Larry will suit up in the black and gold of the Appalachian State Mountaineers. Like South Point, the Mountaineers have a rich tradition. App State is the current Sun Belt Conference Champions and winners of multiple national championships and bowl titles.

Larry is already proud to be a Mountaineer and is looking forward to his college playing days. However, in the end, this kid will always be a fullblooded Red Raider at heart. In fact, one shouldn’t be surprised if when Larry Dowdy enters Kidd Brewer Stadium for the first time he is isn’t wearing a South Point Red Raider t-shirt under his pads.

Jostens, the leading producer of yearbooks across the country, presents the distinction for engaging yearbooks that reflect a broad representation of the student body. The award also recognizes the yearbook staff for its outstanding work to produce a dynamic, quality publication. North Gaston’s awardwinning yearbook staff includes Sydney Armstrong,

earning this important award for their school.” North Gaston received the honor for meeting the criteria in three categories: creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement, and successfully managing the yearbook creation process. The yearbook staff received a gem-studded recognition pin and a banner to display at the school. Only 600 schools nationwide received the distinction this year. “This award is a great accomplishment for our yearbook staff,” said North Gaston principal George Conner. “It is a major achievement to be recognized on a national level by Jostens. We are very proud of them.”

Corporal Stinnett honored as 2019 Health & Human Services Hero The Gaston County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) honored its first 2019 Health & Human Services Hero by surprising Corporal Danielle Stinnett with the award at the Gaston County Sheriff’s office in front of coworkers and her family. Corporal Stinnett is the Programs Coordinator at the Gaston County Jail and helps bring educational classes and services to inmates.

Corporal Stinnett is a 2019 Health & Human Services Hero due to her support of public health education and programming within the jail. Corporal Stinnett has been critical to the success of the Jail Reproductive Health Program, a new program that provides education about birth control and women’s health issues to female inmates and then gives them the opportunity to get long-acting birth con-

trol in the jail if they choose. Unintended pregnancies can create an additional barrier to women once they get out of jail and can make it harder to get back on their feet. Additionally, Corporal Stinnett has helped coordinate educational programs about HIV, STDs, and other health issues for men and women in the jail, so local inmates can be healthier and reduce the spread of disease in Gaston County.

Stanley FD replaces equipment with grant monies, donates old equipment to Fireman’s Faith Ministry In August 2018, the Stanley Fire Department was awarded a $164,381 Assistance to Firefighters Grant. With the FEMA funding, the department was able to purchase 23 new air packs, 23 air pack masks, 23 voice amplifying microphones and 46 air pack bottles. While the old packs no longer met the standards here, Chief Withers and Deputy Chief Hullett requested permission, from the Town Council, to donate the old packs and bottles to a non-profit. The non-profit, Fireman’s Faith Ministry, facilitates donations of equipment to countries that have little to no equipment at all. Stanley Fire Department member, Charles Morrow, then participated in the delivery of the retired equipment to Honduras where he volunteered his own time training firefighters how to operate and properly utilize the equipment.

Mount Holly Police Department Sergeant Austin Cox and Corporal Travis McManus received the inaugural Employee Recognition award for their assistance with a traveler who experienced vehicle issues while transporting a child with special needs. Not only did the officers purchase (with their own funds) fuel for this family, but they also located and paid for a tow truck that specialized in special needs transport to assist with the situation. These two officers, as well as two fire fighters who are no longer with the Mount Holly Fire Department, went above and beyond the call of duty to help a family in need. Congratulations!

Next Gen’s “Libations on the Lake” benefits Family Promise The Next Generation Fund of the Gaston Community Foundation hosted a successful event collecting donations for Family Promise on Friday, May 17th. Over 100 Next Gen donors attended “Libations on the Lake” benefitting the Gaston County nonprofit- a party with a purpose! The event took place in the home of Michelle and Mark Kinsley in Belmont, NC. The Next Generation Fund is appreciative of the event sponsors: Ray Nathan’s BBQ, Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, Cherry Bekaert, Standard Distributors and Choice USA. The sponsors allowed the Next Generation Fund to host the event so that the funds raised will be available to provide grants to Gaston County nonprofits. During the party, a check was presented from the Next Generation Fund to Family Promise for $1,625. Donations of supplies and contributions were also made by Next Gen donors. Family Promise is committed to help-

ing homeless families of the surrounding area to achieve lasting independence. They provide safe shelter, meals, day care and support services for these families. They also partner with programs designed to address the underlying causes of homelessness. The Next Generation Fund feels strongly about supporting the community and nonprofits by awarding grants, hosting events to collect donations for the organization and supporting nonprofits through recognition. The Next Gen, a giving circle, was founded in 2000 and since that time has granted over $174,000 to nonprofits in Gaston County. The Gaston Community Foundation defines a giving circle as a group of individuals pooling their money and deciding together where to grant the funds. The Next Generation Fund of the Community Foundation does just that. The fund allows individuals and couples of all ages to participate in philanthropy and also socialize with like-minded and caring

community members. Impact is the key objective. Pooling resources allows people to give back in a big way, without spending big bucks. An individual may join the Next Generation Fund by an annual contribution of $75; couples $125. The Next Generation Fund provides an opportunity for passing on the tradition of giving to our future generations. Next Gen members care, connect and contribute

to make an impact in Gaston County. How will you make an impact? Consider joining a giving circle. Anyone may join the Next Generation Fund at any time. Interested in joining? Please email or call Elizabeth Patton at epatton@cfgaston.org or 704864-0927. You may also visit www.cfgaston.org/Give/ NextGenerationFund for more information. A facsimile check was presented from the Next Generation Fund to Family Promise for $1,625. Donations of supplies and contributions were also made by Next Gen donors.
