Local entrepreneur has vision for North Belmont by Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
For many years the former Roper strip mall on Woodlawn St. in North Belmont sat empty. It was overgrown with weeds, trash was scattered everywhere, and the structure itself looked delapidated. To most folks it was, simply put, an eyesore, but Belmont businessman Jay Pithwa saw an opportunity there.
Pithwa had a dream. He saw the Roper site as the perfect place for a dog friendly bar, a restaurant, perhaps a brewery, and even an art gallery. He saw it as the seed that could bloom and turn North Belmont into a hip district like NoDa in Charlotte. In fact, Pithwa has even come up with a name and logo- NoBel- for his vision. “North Belmont will be the next big thing,” Pithwa
said.”So far, it’s not been touched by the type of development that’s taken place in other parts of the city. It’s been years since this part of town had a buzz.” Pithwa and his business partner Gene Kropfelder bought the Roper property a couple of months ago. It sits on about three acres and the building has plenty of room26k sq. ft. It looked rough but Pithwa saw beyond the scabs.
“The building has good bones,” he said. There was an issue years ago with ground contamination from a dry cleaner that was in the end part of the building and the EPA has a monitoring station out back, but that’s been cleared up. “The EPA helped with the sale from the Roper family to me,” Pithwa said. Last week, workers were starting to repair the roof. Pithwa is eager to get his dog bar going. “I am going to call it Thirsty Dog,” he said. “People will be able to bring their dogs in and have a beer and meet friends.” Pithwa says there will be rules- no aggressive dogs and no loud barking. The bar will not be open during school hours because it’s next to North Belmont Elementary. There will be a space outside for dogs to play. According See VISION, Page 2

YMCA and Gaston Schools team up to feed kids by Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
The sixth annual YMCA/ Gaston Schools Nutrition summer lunch program is in full swing and kids at a variety of locations are enjoying the food and friendship that comes with it.
Last week saw a group of youngsters from Kendrick Square Apartments in Mt. Holly get together to chow down on a nice lunch, and have some fun just hangin’ out. Ten year old Treyvon Phillips is a Kenderick Square participant.

Mt. Holly athlete David Hostetler, 85, recently took part in the National Senior Olympics held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. By the time the games were over, Hostetler returned home with a chest full of medals and lots of great memories. “I played archery on June 14, 15, and 16 with the best in the USA,” Hostetler said. “We had winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 60mph. Then we got rain and lightning and that stopped the flying arrows.” Hosteler says the weather improved for the second and third days of the archery competitions. See OLYMPICS, Page 2

Mt. Holly Historical Society July meeting
Pithwa hopes a scene like this one will be realized at his Thirsty Dog Bar in North Belmont.
Lawyer and author Scott Syfert will discuss the controversy surrounding the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence at the Mt. Holly Historical Society meeting on Tuesday, July 23rd at 7pm. One of the greatest mysteries in American history - did Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, declare independence from Great Britain more than a year before anyone else? According to local legend, on May 20, 1775, in a log court house in the remote back country of what is now Mecklenburg County, two dozen local militia leaders met to discuss the deteriorating state of affairs in the American colonies. As they met, a horseman arrived
bringing news of the battles of Lexington and Concord. Enraged, they unanimously declared Mecklenburg County “free and independent” from Great Britain. It was known as the “Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.”
The program will be held at the museum: 131 S Main St, Mount Holly, NC. Bring your friends and neighbors. Free admission, open to the public, light refreshments will be served after the program.
MHPD National Night Out The Mt. Holly Police Department is very excited to announce this year’s National Night Out will be on Tuesday, August 06, 2019 at River Street Park in Mount Holly from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Come out and join in for free food, prizes, games, and fun. There will also be some very special guests coming
out this year to visit. MHPD hopes to see you all there!

to Pithwa, Thirsty Dog will be managed as a “private club” with a charge of three dollars per person or an annual membership of twenty dollars. The private club status means Pithwa will be able to serve finger foods such as brats and hand cut fries. There will be live music and Pithwa also plans dog friendly activities such as dog yoga and pet adoption drives. The time frame Pithwa has set for Thirsty Dog is to have its portion of the building ready by late August. As far as the other components such as a brewery, restaurant and arts space, that will come later. Pithwa is actively seeking tenants in that regard. Pithwa, who is president

“The mixed doubles and men’s doubles matches were long lasting,” said Hostetler. “Many were decided in overtime. It was hot. We took long time outs. We had fun and laughter. When the badminton games ended we went to the podium for medals, photos, and celebration. I was awarded Gold in Badminton Singles, Gold in Badminton Men’s Doubles, and Bronze
in Mixed Doubles and Bronze in Archery.” After all the exertion, Hostetler says he kicked back and did some sightseeing. “I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the games,” he said. “So to celebrate, my brother Conrad and I took a night train to Santa Fe and got a look at the New Mexico capital.”

“I got a pat on the back from my brother Conrad from Florida and later another pat from the National Discus champion Bill Gramley from North Carolina. I won the Bronze medal. It was my first ever medal in archery.” June 17 saw Hosteler grab his badminton racket and take to the court. “I didn’t have any slide socks, skid shoes, racquet with special strings, sunblock hat or sunblock clothes,” he said. “Single play began on June 18. Competition consisted of eight players my age. We played Round Robin. Each person must play every player. Whoever accumulates the most wins gets the Gold. When play ended my final score was eight wins and no losses. Surprisingly I got the Gold thanks to my coach Terry Martin.” Badminton play resumed on June 19 and 20.

Peach season is here After several hit-or-miss years, peach growers across North Carolina are celebrating what is shaping up to be a solid peach growing season. “Consumers can expect peaches to be in good quantity and quality this year,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Many growers began picking in early June with plans to continue through the end of August.” Unlike surrounding states, most of North Carolina’s peaches are sold directly to consumers at roadside stands and farmers markets. In fact, consumers can find peach orchards in about two-thirds of the state’s counties. Troxler encourages consumers to check with their favorite peach grower for availability and timing of their favorite varieties.
To celebrate the season, the department will host Peach Day events at the State Farmers Market in Raleigh on July 11 and the Robert G. Shaw Piedmont Triad Farmers Market in Colfax on July 12. Both events run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and feature a peach recipe contest, free samples of peach ice cream and an appearance from the N.C. Peach Queen. Peach lovers also can enjoy the N.C.
Peach Festival in Candor July 19 and 20. The 23rd-annual event includes a parade, music, carnival rides, food vendors and lots of fresh, local peaches. North Carolina is home to about 800 acres of peaches. In 2017, peach growers contributed $2.7 million to the state’s economy, with more than two dozen varieties grown.

City of Belmont becomes the 90th Bee City USA in the Nation Belmont’s City’s City Council unanimously voted on July 1, 2019 to become a Bee City USA®, joining more than a hundred other cities and campuses across the country united in improving their landscapes for pollinators. The Council’s action is the culmination of months of effort by Belmont’s Environmental Sustainability Board and city staff to accomplish this certification. Bee City USA is an initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, with offices across the country. Bee City USA’s mission is to galvanize communities to sustain pollinators by providing them with healthy habitat, rich in a variety of native plants and free of insecticides. Pollinators like bumble bees, sweat bees, mason bees, honey bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, hummingbirds and many others are responsible for the
reproduction of almost ninety percent of the world’s flowering plant species and one in every three bites of food we consume. During the process of applying for the certification, a number of organizations were brought into the discussions including Gaston Bee Keepers and the Belmont Community Garden. “The program aspires to make people more PC—pollinator conscious, that is,” said Scott Hoffman Black, Xerces’ executive director. “If lots of individuals and communities begin planting native, pesticide-free flower-
ing trees, shrubs and perennials, it will create large-scale change for many, many species of pollinators.” “How each city or county celebrates pollinators is up to them,” said Bee City USA founder Phyllis Stiles. “But to maintain their certification, each affiliate is expected to celebrate being a Bee City USA community every year.” Each affiliate should hold public awareness activities; publicly acknowledge the commitment to the program through a standing committee, signage and web links; and prepare an annual report on habitat enhancement activities. Bee City USA especially encourages school gardens and educational programs for children. “When a child falls in love with pollinators, they are friends for life,” added Stiles. The City has designated the Environmental Sustainability Board (ESB) as the
City of Belmont photo facilitating committee for Belmont’s efforts to engage the community in promoting pollinator conservation. The ESB committee meets on the second Wednesday of each month in Council Chambers (115 N. Main St.) and invites all residents of Belmont to offer their ideas for pollinator-friendly initiatives. The more people and organizations involved, the sooner
pollinator declines will be reversed. For more information about Belmont’s Bee City
USA program, contact Jamie Mendoza at jmendoza@ cityofbelmont.org or at 704901-2610.

“The kids love the program,” she said. “They get to play games, read books, play on the playground, and have a good lunch.” YMCA development director Molly D’Avira stopped by Kendrick Square to help with the lunch activities. “The YMCA is having the program at two other apartment complexes besides Kendrick Square,” she said. “The others are Flowers Court in Belmont and Holly Hills in Mt. Holly. We try to give the kids a camp experience in an hour with an educational component, physical activity, a good lunch, and posi-
mer lunch program is having success as well as the YMCA sites. “School Nutrition is grateful to have a supportive community and dedicated employees,” said Caren Berrier, Assistant Director of School Nutrition. “Each year, the Summer Foodservice Program grows due to the enthusiasm of our staff and volunteers spreading the word and reaching families who didn’t know this service existed. This past June, School Nutrition and its partners were able to serve 13,450 breakfast meals and 20,760 lunch meals to the children in our community. We hope to continue to provide nutritious meals for a healthy diet, body, and mind so the children in our community will
lunches that provide regular nutrition to growing bodies. For a child who does not receive regular, healthy meals at home, the summer months may feel extra long. The result of summer hunger, especially over many years, can be devastating to children’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional development. When kids are malnourished or don’t know where their next meal is coming from, they cannot focus, their academic performance may suffer and they are more likely to act out against peers and adults. Here are a few common signs that a child may struggle with hunger: 1. They ask about food every day and they’re not picky.

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
If a child seems fixated on meals or expresses consistent interest in when the next snack is being served, she may be struggling with hunger at home. While children are often hungry at regular eating times or following activities, pay attention to children who arrive at camp hungry and are rarely selective about what they eat. 2. They suddenly lose or
Are you prepared? Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
Are you the type of person who prepares for the things you do? Some people never like surprises, and always prepare for every variable in life. There are others however, who never prepare. They enjoy the spontaneity of life. When you think of preparing, have you prepared for Jesus to return? 1 Thessalonians 4:16 reminds us, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel” (NKJV). One day Jesus will return, and we must be ready. Matthew 25:1-13 records the Parable of the Ten Virgins. In this parable, there was a wedding in the town. Many people were attending, including ten young girls. Each girl had brought their little lamp with them to light the way. Five girls were wise, and brought extra oil for their lamps. Five were foolish, and did not. The bridegroom delayed his arrival, and the foolish girls slept. At midnight, it was announced the bridegroom was coming. The foolish girls asked the wise for some of their oil because they were out. The wise told them no, because then no one would have enough. The foolish girls had to go to town and buy oil. While they were gone, the bridegroom came and they all entered the house. When the foolish girls returned, they found the door shut. They knocked, but the
lord of the house refused them entry, telling them he did not know them. In this parable, Jesus is the bridegroom returning for His bride, the Church. Rev. Trent Tankin The lord of the house is God the Father. The ten girls represent us. Too often like the foolish girls, many will lull themselves to sleep, thinking Jesus will not return. Because it has been so long since Jesus ascended to heaven, many think He will not return, and their lives reflect such doubt. However, Jesus will return like a thief in the night, as the Bible tells us. Just as the bridegroom suddenly appeared at midnight, Jesus will return when we least expect it. The foolish girls looked to the wise when their oil ran out. However, it was their responsibility to prepare. It is our responsibility to prepare for Jesus. The pastor, loved ones, and family, can all tell us about Jesus. They can pray with us and take us to church, yet it is our responsibility to receive Jesus by faith. Sadly, too many will find the door shut when Jesus returns, and the Father will turn them away. One thing is for sure, Jesus will return, and we must prepare. If you do not know Jesus today, believe, trust in Him. If you do know Him, invite someone to the wedding! Tell someone about Jesus today, so they can be prepared for the Bridegroom!

gain weight. Not all children who are hungry are thin. The result of lost access to regular nutrition can sometimes mean families are relying on low-price, lowquality processed food, junk food, or sugary snacks and beverages. If a child appears to be gaining weight in summer, a calorie-rich, nutrientvoid diet may be to blame. 3. They hoard snacks and food. If food is provided at your summer camp, pay attention to children who seem to take more than a fair share, ask for extra portions to take home
or sneak snacks into their pockets. Children who do not know where their next meal is coming from may exhibit these types of hoarding food behaviors as a survival strategy. 4. They are bullying or behaving badly. ‘Hanger’ pains are real. As adults, we know that our concentration and moods are impacted by our hunger. Yet adults (more likely) have the coping skills and resources to manage appropriately. For kids, who are not yet fully developed, the inability to access food regularly can cause behavior issues that affect their camp peers and counselors. If a child is acting aggressively, picking fights with other children (especially over food or money) or seems distracted, he may be struggling with hunger. Similarly, a child who lacks energy throughout the day may also be going to bed on an empty stomach. Read more about how hunger affects children’s behavior. 5. Their teeth are decaying. A diet filled with sugar
is the leading cause of tooth decay in young children. Lack of calcium is also a contributing factor. When children are not receiving proper nutrition at home and/ or not receiving dental care, the warning signs can be seen on their smiling faces. Earlyintervention can help prevent lifelong complications. Are you interested in volunteering for the summer lunch program?

Meditations Patience is not passive I always have an awareness of time. It is very precious, and I don’t like to waste valuable time. There are moments I allow my compulsiveness about time to test my patience. I lose patience when people waste precious seconds when a light turns green. Or, the moments when I arrive for an appointment thirty minutes early and people are not ready. So, maybe you don’t resonate with those moments I just mentioned. But, what about this moment. When you arrive on time at the doctor’s office, and you still have to wait thirty minutes. But, if you are late, then they will ask you to reschedule. Yes, I knew I would get some nodding of heads. I often struggle in the area of patience when it comes to waiting. Unfortunately, there are moments this trickles over into my spiritual life when waiting on God. How can we grow in our patience with the Lord? “For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously.” Colossians 1:9-11 NASB. According to Paul, we can attain steadfastness and patience joyously. When I read Paul’s writings, I wish he were before me that I might ask, “Paul, what are you thinking.” Then I realize, Paul was human like me, growing in faith by the power of God’s grace.
Patience is not passive. When we are told to have patience, it does not mean we sit back and allow everything to collapse around us. To be Rev. Angela Pleasants steadfast and pa- District tient means to stand Superintendent firm in the Lord and of Catawba Valley face the trials of life. Methodist Churches Sometimes tests are there to grow us in faith. Other times they happen by happenstance of life. No matter how they come, we are empowered by the Spirit of God to stand firm and continue to live in the paths of righteousness. To wait upon God is not like counting minutes until the light turns green. To wait upon God, even amid trials, is to live in confident expectation of God’s work in our life and the world. Also, when we grow weary in waiting, God’s power never stops. He continues to empower and build strength in our life. “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:28-31 NASB.

Pet of the Week Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week is a beautiful Chihuahua/Terrier mix named Margo. Are you ready for some puppy breath? Then come on out this weekend and get a big dose of puppy love! Margo is a 12 week old female. The grooming for Margo is very simple… bath and brushing. She will be small as an adult. Margo is spayed, current on vaccines and micro-chipped. Come on out…we will be looking for you. Chihuahuas are comical, entertaining, and loyal little dogs. They are absolutely brimming with personality – often a quirky and eccentric personality unmatched by any other breed. Chihuahuas do seem to recognize and prefer their own breed, so it’s a great idea to keep two of them. They keep each other company when you’re gone, they play together, clean each other’s ears (Chihuahuas can be obsessive ear-lickers!), and keep each other warm by snuggling together. Chihuahuas adore warmth! They will seek out the tiniest sunspot in which to bask, and they tunnel under blankets and towels. You have to be careful whenever you sit down on your sofa or bed, as there could be a Chihuahua tucked under there! If you want a dog that: is small and easy to carry, comes in several different coats and colors, is oh-sofunny and entertaining in quirky ways, is very loyal, travels well, doesn’t need

‘Look Before You Lock:’ Safe Kids NC reminds caregivers about the dangers of hot cars
not help keep the inside of a car cool. Safe Kids North Carolina’s summer safety campaign “Baby, It’s Hot Inside” is raising awareness about the dangers of heatstroke and asks parents and caregivers to ACT: • A: Avoid heatstrokerelated injury and death by never leaving a child alone in a car, not even for a minute. Remember to keep your car
locked when you’re not in it so kids can’t get in on their own. • C: Create reminders so you don’t mistakenly leave your child in back by putting something with them that you’ll need at your final destination such as a briefcase, a purse or a cell phone. • T: Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 9-1-1. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life. Safe Kids North Carolina reaches out to parents, caregivers and children in 71 counties served by 46 coalitions across the state.

Civil Air Patrol holds boot camp By 1st Lt. Sue Beutler The North Carolina Wing of Civil Air Patrol held its week long Encampment June 15th -22nd at the Stanly County Air National Guard Base in Albemarle. One hundred thirty Cadets attended the annual event sometimes referred to as “CAP boot camp”. One of those cadet basics in attendance was Cadet Airman Mario High of the Gastonia Composite Squadron. While that in itself is not remarkable – Gastonia cadets attend every year – Cadet Airman High’s experience was remarkable. During the graduation ceremony on Saturday, Cadet Airman High became the inaugural recipient of the Lt. Col. Bob Pardo Outstanding Wingman Award. But there is more to it than that. Against the odds Cadet Airman High’s story is one of struggle, overcoming, and inspiring those around him. Mario was born prematurely in 2005, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. His condition was more than his impoverished parents could handle, and he was given over to the care of a foster family with whom he lived for eight years. During this time he struggled mentally and physically in an unhealthy environment. Blind in one eye and non-verbal until near the age of seven, Mario received no education. He finally began preschool at the age of seven and a half, weighing only 35 pounds and standing 3 feet tall. He had the language skills of an eighteen month old, couldn’t write his name or count. Meanwhile in Gastonia, Keir and Tabatha High had served on mission trips to Honduras and spent time working with children in orphanages there. Mr. and Mrs. High have three biological children, but felt drawn to adopt a fourth. In 2011 Honduras became open to international adoptions, and through their mission group they learned of a young boy with special challenges who desperately needed help. After receiving some basic information, the High family
Cadet Airman High pictured in formation with his flight at NC Wing Encampment. Photos by Sue Beutler began pursuing the adoption of Mario in March of 2011. Keir and Tabatha met him for the first time in Honduras in September of 2012. Despite his physical condition and developmental disabilities, Tabatha described him as a “happy kid.” The adoption was made official on December 14, 2012. Even so, it wasn’t until Valentine’s Day of 2013, at the age of eight, that Mario was able to leave Honduras and arrive in North Carolina to a new life. Tabatha said “he fit in immediately. It was like he had always been with our family.” Mario’s education began right away. First in a half day kindergarten program. His small size, still weighing only 35 pounds, belied his true age. He went on to attend the Newcomers Center where he began to learn English and a first grade curriculum. Today he reads at a third grade level, but is making great strides in a regular school classroom with additional resource help. According to his mother, “everything takes three times as long”. But Mario pushes forward, always with a smile. The CAP Connection Late in 2018 while working as a substitute teacher, Tabatha was tasked to work with a student who needed help studying for a test. That test happened to be a CAP phase one achievement test. Curious, she did her homework on Civil Air Patrol and quickly realized that this organization could well be just what Mario needed. You see,
Mario’s older brother is an Air Force Senior Airman, and Mario dreamed of following in his footsteps. Tabatha and Mario visited the Gastonia Squadron, and by January of 2019 both were ready for Mario to give it a try. Like most new cadets, he was nervous at first, but under the tutelage of Gastonia’s cadet flight staff he began to feel at home and to actively participate. On March 5, 2019 Cadet High earned his Curry award and the grade of Cadet Airman. NC Encampment would be a challenge. No one doubted that. Like many cadets, it would be the first time Cadet Airman High had been away from home for an extended period of time. Tabatha admitted to being nervous, and so was Cadet High. There were some rough patches early on, but no one was giving up, least of all Cadet Airman High. Encampment leadership found the right Wingman for him, and together the cadets pushed each other to success. High’s mother characterized encampment as “life changing” for him. And so, with his usual enthusiasm, Cadet Airman High left an impression on the entire staff by, as the award reads, “demonstrating the heart and soul of the Wingman. . . in the best tradition of the Civil Air Patrol”, and he made his mark in Civil Air Patrol history. Legacy of the award The Lieutenant Colonel Bob Pardo Outstanding Wingman Award, also referred to as the “Warrior Spirit” award, is inspired by the actions of a fighter pilot during combat over North Vietnam. In March of 1967, Air Force pilot Captain Bob Pardo was in command of an F-4 Phantom II as part of a combat mission against the well-defended Thai Nguyen steel mill, north of Hanoi. Anti-aircraft fire struck both his aircraft and the aircraft flown by Captain Earl Aman. Aman’s aircraft had been struck in the fuel tank and was losing too much fuel to be able to make it back to the safety of Laotian airspace. Pardo knew that ejecting over the rice paddies below them
would mean certain capture, so he acted. Pardo lined up his damaged aircraft with Aman’s Phantom’s tailhook and inched upwards slowly until the hook made contact with his windscreen, which began to crack. Pardo repositioned his Phantom so that the tailhook made contact against a section of metal then hit the throttle. Pardo used his damaged Phantom to push his wingmen more than 80 miles to a point where both aircrews could eject from their failing aircraft in friendlier territory. The four men were rescued from the jungle by helicopter crews less than two hours later. The next day Pardo and his weapons system officer were back in the fight. Their target was the same steel mill north of Hanoi. This action has come to be known as “Pardo’s Push”. Senior Airman Ridge Shan, 56th Fighter Wing Public Affairs officer says “More than four decades later, his name and his maneuver still have meaning to those who serve and fly today”. Major John Powers believes that “Lieutenant Colonel Pardo stands as a sterling example of exactly what we should aspire to”. It is in this spirit that Civil Air Patrol has

Gaston Schoools photo Noon Optimist Club of Gastonia, and it is a one-time scholarship worth $500. Caleb Moore, who graduated from Hunter Huss High School, knows how important teamwork is to be successful. It is a trait he has learned from being in the classroom and on the baseball field. Moore credits his mentor for encouraging him to pursue extra studies in his Career and Technical Education classes. Because of her, he was able to complete three career certifications in advanced manufacturing. He plans to attend Gaston College to study information technology with a special interest in cyber defense. He hopes to use his degree working for a manufacturing company. The mentoring scholarship is named in memory of Paul F. Fuller, who was one of the first mentors in Gaston County Schools and was an avid supporter of the program.
The program began in 1992 with just 10 mentors at Mount Holly Junior High School. Today, it involves more than 250 adults who serve as mentors for almost 300 students at 34 schools. This year’s scholarships were presented during the “Big 50 Reception” on May 29 at the Gastonia Conference Center. During the reception, school mentors as well as business and community partners were recognized for their contributions to Gaston County Schools. The event also served as the culmination of the school district’s year-long “Big 50 Anniversary.” Become a Mentor Gaston County Schools is seeking caring adults to serve as mentors for the 2019-2020 school year.

Fuller Scholarship is Anthony Perez. Being a part of the mentoring program in elementary and middle school, Perez said his mentor was there to listen to him, support him, and give him advice. Perez, who graduated from Hunter Huss High School, said he finds himself trying to help, support, and motivate others because of the example his mentor established for him. Like Hunt, Perez also received the $1,000 renewable scholarship with the additional $250 each year. This brings the total of his scholarship to $5,000 as well. “Having a mentor made me a better person as a whole,” said Perez, who plans to attend a four-year university and wants to pursue a career as a meteorologist. “It made me into a strong and determined individual, who is always aiming for success.” Trades and technical training scholarship This year, one standout senior was awarded the Paul F.

Jacob Hunt knows that the Gaston County Schools mentoring program can change lives. Meeting his first mentor in the fourth grade, Hunt said his mentor helped him with English and math and even taught him a few tricks for multiplying fractions and working with verbs – tricks that he found himself still using as he completed his senior year of high school. Hunt graduated from Forestview High School in June and is looking toward the future with a mentoring scholarship in hand. Hunt, one of the outstanding students in the Gaston County Schools mentoring program, was chosen to receive the Paul F. Fuller Scholarship, which is given annually to students who have been involved in the school district’s mentoring program. The scholarship, which is renewable for up to four years, traditionally is worth $1,000, but it seemed only fitting during Gaston County Schools’ 50th anniversary celebration to up the scholarship by $250 so the grand total would be $5,000 for each student who received it. “Having a mentor during my early years helped me out tremendously,” Hunt said. “It dramatically changed my life for the better with the mental and social benefits that I have

Grizzlies fight to gain ground in slumping West Division By Dalton Sweezy daltonsweezy02@gmail.com
In the short week following the conclusion of the All-Star festivities, the Gastonia Grizzlies knew they needed to get back on track. Starting the second half with a 1-3 record isn’t the type of momentum they wanted to carry deep into the season. Though they already had a playoff spot guaranteed, they know they need to keep developing their pitching staff rotation, and consistently putting runs on the board. To begin their short week, Gastonia would travel up to Finch Field to take on the Thomasville Hitoms. In a fairly short and lowscoring game, the Grizzlies couldn’t find a groove offensively. Their lone run came in the first inning when Andrew Orzel grounded into a fielder’s choice, allowing Michael Brown to score from third. The Grizzlies sent Mitchell Holcomb to the mound who didn’t pitch poorly, but a combination of errors, and key situational hitting, knocked him out of the game with four runs scored in the fifth. Only one of those runs were earned, saving his ERA from taking on the result of the errors. The Hitoms offense got going in the fifth inning, off of a ringing double by leadoff man Angel Zarate. They wouldn’t stop there, scoring on a combination of singles, doubles, and errors to build their lead. Thomasville would eventually win the contest with Gastonia by a final score of 5-1. The Grizzlies would look to bounce back the very next night in Gastonia, taking on the Martinsville Mustangs. Gastonia hasn’t seen Martinsville yet this season, and will visit them up at Hooker field before the season ends. Unlike their previous night’s’ matchup in Thomasville, the Grizzlies looked polished and on a mission.
Starting pitcher out of Yale, Rohan Handa, pitched extremely well, going seven innings giving up zero runs on two hits. Following his lead, the Grizzlies offense got going as well with a sacrifice fly by Jeff Cyr to put them on the board early. They would then follow their first run up with a fielder’s choice, and an RBI single by third basemen Chase Achuff to grow their lead to 3-0. On normal nights in the Coastal Plain League, a three run lead isn’t much. The Grizzlies have been on both sides of comebacks that have been far greater. But with how Handa was pitching for Gastonia, three runs felt like more than enough to get the job done. When Handa left the field in the seventh, the crowd applauded as if they knew it would be his final time on the mound for the night. Gastonia’s offense continued to grind out at-bats, and after a mistake by the Mustangs, took advantage to score off of an error by their left fielder. The Grizzlies called on righty out of Dayton, Dylan Keller to come in and finish the job for the final six outs. With little to no trouble, Keller struck out three batters in his two innings of work, completing the shutout of the Mustangs. Riding high off the momentum that a shutout can bring, the Grizzlies traveled to Forest City to begin a mini two game series with their division rivals. The game was not a memorable one for the Gastonia pitching staff, as every arm that threw gave up at least one run against the stout Forest City offense. After getting on the board early with a Chase Achuff RBI single, the Forest City attack began. Scoring five runs in the first two innings, the Owls forced the Grizzlies to pull starter Gianni Smith and go to the bullpen early. Using three pitchers to try
and piece together a decent performance on the mound, Gastonia hoped their offense would be able to provide a spark. They put together a few runs here and there, headlined by a towering shot by Freshman catcher Landon Choboy in the fourth, but ultimately came up short. Gastonia would fall to the Owls by a final score of 11-6, in a game in which they could never really find any sort of rhythm or groove.

The field was slightly damper than usual as it had rained for hours leading up to game time. The result was a cool, partly cloudy night that invited a fairly large crowd to visit Sims Legion Park and see the second game of the short series.

Strike out cancer night at the ballpark drew in many fans to take place in the on field festivities, as the Grizzlies wore special pink jerseys to be auctioned off to fans after the game. Forest City would get on the board first, starting fast, with a three run first inning due to the struggling command of Gastonia starter Jarret Krzyanowski. Though the Owls continued to score throughout the night, Gastonia never gave up hope and kept chipping away at the lead. Red hot Landon Choboy gave Gastonia their second run of the game with his teamleading sixth homerun of the season. Becoming more and more a part of the everyday lineup, Choboy has earned a starting spot with his ability to change the game with one swing at any point in the game. After two more Forest City runs scored, Andrew Orzel would blast a two-run home run of his own in the fifth, making the statement that Gastonia was not going to go away. The Owls would score once more before the Grizzlies would completely take over. The score was 7-5 going into the bottom of the seventh in-
ning. An error by the Forest City third baseman with runners on base provided a huge opportunity for the Grizzlies, scoring two runs and tying the game at seven. New Gastonia third baseman, Austin Kaplan then came to the plate and drove in the go-ahead run to put the Grizzlies right where they wanted to be going into the late innings of the ball game. If there was any doubt left of the result in the stadium, Landon Choboy erased all worries when he came up and launched a deep three-run home run onto the top of the grass berm in left. The ball was hit so far it almost cleared the stadium entirely, landing a few feet short of the final wall before the field gives way to the area where the scoreboard is situated. With an 11-7 score, Gastonia closer Chase Achuff took the mound to finish off the Owls in the ninth. After pitching a flawless eighth inning, Achuff became even more dominant, striking out the side to end the game in a convincing fashion. Gastonia would end the week with a 2-2 record, but feeling much better thanks to
the way the week concluded. It was important to get back on track in the division, as those are the games that really count as we near the end of the season. Week seven of the Coastal Plain League season ends with the Grizzlies in third place in the struggling Western division. Fortunately, no team in the west is off to a hot start, with Forest City in first with a 5-5 record. Even with their five losses, Gastonia finds themselves only one game behind, with the second half just getting underway. As long as they can take care of their business against their division going forward, they should find themselves in a place to take back first place in the coming weeks. In the coming week, the Grizzlies will play three divisional games, the first of which takes place on Monday in Forest City for their third consecutive matchup with the Owls. Though the second half may not have started like the Grizzlies had hoped, they’ve found a way to keep themselves in the mix, and gain the momentum necessary to fight back to the top of their division.

Gaston Braves capture round two by defeating Asheville By Art Shoemaker The Gaston Braves opened round two of Area IV playoffs last Sunday as they traveled to Asheville to play Post 70 from the mountain city. Our locals captured a hard fought win by a final score of 5-3. The Braves produced eleven hits in the win and committed three errors. Preston Conner put the Braves ahead early with a home run in the first with one aboard giving the Braves an early lead. Jordan Lathe had a key single in the sixth frame that produced two runs. Lathe led the hit parade for the Braves as he enjoyed a three for four night. Preston Conner and Jason Maggs each added two hits for the Braves. In a rare feat, Zack Summerville stole three bases in the contest. Asheville wanted their bases back but Summerville refused and has them stored safely in his home in Dallas. Just a little humor folks. Stanley’s Hunter Robinson tossed a fine game in allowing Asheville three runs on eight hits in his six innings on the hill. Jordan Lathe recorded a save by shutting out Asheville in the final frame. Last Monday at South Point the Braves hosted Asheville in game two of the series. After two innings of play Asheville held a 2-1 lead but the Braves answered with a three spot in the third inning to retake the lead 4-2. The Braves added two more in the fifth frame and one more in the sixth. Asheville rallied by scoring three runs in the seventh but fell short in losing by a run to the Braves. On offense, Jason Maggs led the way with a two for three night. Preston Conner got the G-Braves on the scoreboard early with a home run in the first inning. In the big third inning outburst by the Braves Luke Bumgarner laced a single in the left field gap that produced two runs for the Braves. Jordan Lathe, Jayson Szot and Carter Merrill each added a hit that accounted for the Braves total of eight runs in the contest. Cameron Cook picked up the win in his 6 1/3 innings of work. Cook allowed eight hits, two walks, and struck

Jayson Szot finished up for the Braves in registering the final two outs, one being a strikeout. It was back to Asheville for game three. Asheville Gaston Braves pitcher Jacob Landis throws during the first narrowly edged our Braves inning against Asheville Post 70 during the American Legion by a final 7-5 score in the playoff game. game. The host team led by
5-0 count after four innings but the Braves rallied in crossing the dish for a three spot in the fifth and added two more in the sixth but fell short in losing game three. As has been the case all season Jordan Lathe came up big in the three run fifth in-
ning with an RBI double for the Braves. Dosi Jonas led the Braves with two hits in three at bats. Preston Conner, Kolby Smith and Jacob Landis each added one hit in the Braves six hit total. South Point’s Grayson Thomas went the distance on the mound for the Braves and pitched well enough to win. He surrended six hits and allowed five earned runs but came up just a little short. Thomas has pitched well all season for the Braves and the experience he is gaining this summer should bode well for the Red Raiders next spring. In perhaps the most dramatic win in the history of the Gaston Braves – the Braves tallied two runs in the bottom of the seventh to escape with a 4-3 score in winning the series three games to one over a fine Asheville nine. Down 3-2 to Asheville with two outs and the bases loaded with Braves Asheville committed a throwing error allowing two Braves to score in sealing the victory and series for the G-Braves. The Braves only managed three hits on the night with Jordan Lathe, Wes Hall and Zack Summerville accounting for the hits. South Point’s Jacob Landis started on the bump for the Braves and was very effective. Landis allowed two earned runs, striking out four and walking three. Jayson Szot picked up the win in working a scoreless final inning.

Scott Pope to be inducted into Mt. Holly Sports Hall of Fame By Kathy Blake In a rare moment of quiet – no ballgames in progress, no buddies needing assistance, no errands to run – Scott Pope had time, one Monday in July, to absorb the peace of merely relaxing at home, watching his 1-yearold granddaughter sleep. Earlier that day, he finished his last radiation treatment for cancer. And the scare of open-heart surgery, two years prior, was gone. For one tranquil afternoon, the world revolved around babysitting little Ansley as she napped. Pope, 64, is used to constant busyness. He grew up on a mill hill in Mount Holly, played two sports in high school, coached four sports starting at age 19, married his high school sweetheart, became a daddy to two sons, helped build local ballfields, announced play-by-play at games, joined the Optimist Club, became a church deacon, went on nine mission trips – including one to Haiti – ran fund-raisers, served as chairman of several groups at church, became a committee member of the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame in 2012 and is its acting president. In 1996, he was Mount Holly Man of the Year. And before Mecklenburg County began spilling over the banks of the Catawba into his city, he says, he seemed to know somebody just about anywhere he went. “This is my hometown,” he says, “born and raised and everything. That’s a good thing.” The Hall of Fame, in recognition of all he’s done, is rewarding Pope with its Community Spirit Award for 2019. “My thoughts are, there are a lot of people who have been involved with youth sports over the years who have done the same things I’ve done,” he says. “It’s odd that I’m on the committee and they’ve asked me the last three years to accept this, and I’ve told them no. But two years ago, I had open-heart surgery, and it makes you think…should I do this, in case something comes down the line?” Pope’s footprint on Mount Holly sports started at the old Mount Holly High School, where he played baseball and football. He played baseball four years and third base for the last two, when the team won its conference. In football, as a safety and backup wing back, he scored the last touchdown in MHHS history – a short run, he recalls, in a 34-0 win over visiting Roseman High. Like any young kid, he envisioned playing beyond high school. “I wanted to go on, but I was 130 pounds when I graduated,” he says. “Every person’s dream is to play more, but it wasn’t in the cards.” So, he started giving back. At 15, Pope became a prodigy of the Mount Holly
Optimist Club. “The guys took me under their wing and had me announce football games,” he says. “We used to have the Holly Bowl and bring in teams and play football games all day, and they let me do the announcing. The pay was good – all they did was feed me. But the best part was all the connections from sports there. So I got involved in coaching everything from football to basketball to baseball.” Guided and mentored by others destined for the local Hall of Fame, Pope landed his first head coaching role at 19, with youth baseball. “The team’s players were 12 years old. There was a time when the umpire asked a kid, where’s the coach?” he says. “I just blended in with them. Other than I had a mustache.” Coaching Pop Warner Midget football, he says, his youth and size helped. “We (coaches) even practiced with them a couple of time, and put on the gear. They could be up to 120 pounds themselves,” he says. “I did that a couple of times. It’s probably not advisable.” On the fields, Pope coached youth league and Babe Ruth baseball from 1973 through 1980 and from 1985 through 1996. He coached Optimist football from 1973 through 1978 and again in 1982. Add in two years of basketball (“not my best sport,” he says) and four years of City Recreation Department soccer. Off the fields, he cochaired the 1995 Field of Dreams project, which redid the field behind Rankin Elementary. “We had a vision of putting lights back on the field we had played on as athletes. We put lights on the field, a new concession stand, new goal posts, a new press box,” he says. “We wrote up what we needed to get a matching grant, but we needed $25,000. We started a light program where, for $100, someone could pay for a light, and have their name inscribed on a plaque displayed on the pole.” A few yard sales and one haunted house raised about $10,000. The city, county, local businesses and churches added financial support. Behind the scenes, Pope had married Sheila, who he had dated since she was a high school junior and he was a recent graduate. He was 19; she was 16. He worked 31 years for Freightliner as a trainer, manager and supervisor. For 10 of those years, he drove back and forth to Cleveland, N.C., every day. Drive, work, drive, coach, go home, eat, sleep, repeat. Sheila went to nursing school and last year was named one of the Great 100 Nurses in N.C., nominated by her peers at CaroMont Regional Medical Center. When their sons played baseball for East Gaston,
Scott Pope Pope asked Coach Darrell Van Dyke if he needed an announcer. “I did the announcing, and my wife did the scoreboard. We did it for 20 years,” he says. Away from sports, Pope has served as chairman of deacons, chairman of the personnel and policies committee, on the audio-visual team and on the mission board at Grace Baptist Church. He’s participated in mission trips to Kentucky, New Jersey, Alaska, West Virginia, South Carolina and Haiti, where his team helped support building an orphanage after an earthquake. A Grace Baptist connection led to his church helping a pastor in Haiti attend Bible school at Fruitland Baptist Bible College in Hendersonville. Pope lists a lifelong support group of area coaches, Hall of Fame members and friends. So, what does he count as his greatest accomplishment? “I would have to say, besides being a Christian and having God guide me through my life, it’s marrying my wife, Sheila. Because you can say that God chooses your spouse, and He chose her for me,” he says. “She’s my right arm. And my left arm. Her nursing skills are why I’m still here.” His heart episode two years back was first diagnosed at home, by Sheila. “I didn’t have a heart attack,” he says. “I had the cords break from my heart valve and instead of it beating normal, it was like it was sucking air. The cords just snapped. “My other greatest accomplishment would be my two sons, Jeremy and Justin, whom I am extremely proud of. I have two fine boys who have never given me an ounce of trouble.” His transition from sports and work means more time, now, for church. And missions. Like that trip to Alaska, to build cabins for the Wounded Warrior program run by Samaritan’s Purse. Or the trip to New Jersey, with N.C. Baptist Men, to feed people after Hurricane Sandy. So many things. So much to do. He reflects on all that, sometimes. Like this Monday in July, when it’s quiet in the house, with a sleeping child. But after an hour or so, the quiet ends, and Pope is a coach, of sorts, again.

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town. The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt.

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework. Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation. “I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.” During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society. Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends. “I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress. See LAMP page 2

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about. At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions. The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting. The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered NC Cooperative Extension master gardener Dana suggestions. Harper is a fan of backyard chickens.

Four arrested at Jail-A-Thon On Saturday, three elected officials and one city employee were arrested on nefarious charges, placed in manacles, and hauled by paddywagon to the ‘Jail House' at Patriots Park during Mountaineer Days. The three elected officials arrested were Mayor Scott Neisler and Council members David Allen and Rodney Gordon. Each had to raise $200 bond within two hours. Due to rowdy behavior, Rodney Gordon had to raise additional bond money. Mayor Neisler implicated Karen Tucker who was subsequently arrested for "Impersonating the City Clerk." Tucker had to raise a $25.00 bond. All funds raised benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum's history education boxes that highlight local history in Kings Mountain schools. Sarah Lunch, Museum Director, and Curator commented,

Both Terry L. Stutter, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Plant Manager, and Pam Crotts, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Human Resource Manager, take great pride in the fact their co-workers and staffs are seeing pink nowadays. They’re not alone. Their co-workers do too as was evidenced by what they did to honor those who fight the fight. So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month they and a number of their day and night shift employees donned pink tee-shirts to let all know

Graduating seniors participate in Career Signing Day When 12 Gaston County Schools seniors in the Class of 2019 walked across the graduation stage on June 8, 2019 they had already taken a big step toward having a promising career. The week before graduation, the students participated in Gaston County Schools’ second Career Signing Day ceremony. Patterned after career signing events that typically involve athletes, the students signed a Certificate of Achievement to signify their intent to work for one of eight local companies. At the ceremony on May 30, students “signed” for jobs with eight local employers: American & Efird, Dixon Valve and Coupling, GSM Services, McGee Brothers, Parkdale Mills, Pharr Yarns, Rochling, and Showalter Construction. The Career Signing Day is a project organized by the school district’s Career and Technical Education program. Last year, the event involved only four students and three businesses, and organizers hope to involve even more students and businesses next year. Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker stated, “We sincerely appreciate the partnership we have with the local business community. Working together, we are able to equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need so they can get a great job right out of high school.” Dr. Booker added, “The Career Signing Day program brings attention to our efforts to connect students with local businesses and make them aware of career opportunities right here in Gaston County. We are very proud of the students who accepted jobs with the eight local companies, and we are confident that they will be successful.” Through the Career and Technical Education program, students gain valuable knowledge in a particular

Belmont Abbey senior Liam Osborne (pictured) has been named to the 2019 USILA Division II Scholar All-American Team. The honor is intended to recognize the success of men’s lacrosse players on the field as well as in the classroom. Osborne scored 61 goals this season, which placed him in the nation’s top five, and his 95 points were the fourth-highest in the country. He also scored two goals in the USILA Division I/II All-Star Game. Osborne graduated in May with a degree in Criminal Justice. Belmont Abbey photo
OUTDOOR TRUTHS By The summer can be slow for bass fishermen. The water is warm and the oxygen that fish need for peak activity is not found in warmer water. Therefore they tend to go deeper or become more active when the days are at their coolest. That’s why early in the morning is some of the best time to be on the lake or river. My favorite way to start is by being ready to cast my first bait when the sun is barely peeking over the horizon. One must take advantage of every minute the fish are active because in the summer those minutes are few. As many of you know, my favorite way to wake bass up this time of

year is with a top water bait. The sound of this plug echoes for unknown distances at the break of day and each plop signals to the fisherman to be ready for what might be lurking just below the surface. The combination of sight and sound can at times be just too much for nearby bass to ignore. And for the fisherman, the crash of water just behind that bait can also be as addictive as well. Once you see and hear that unique moment, you will place it in its own mental compartment, and nothing will ever join it. Thankfully there are other moments that deserve their own special place. I imagine me making a file and label-
Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ ing it with that moment but never adding anything else to the file except that which caused me to make it in the first place. It’s like making a folder on your computer for certain types of pictures or documents and only finding one picture or document that fits in the folder. In one way you are hoping for other occasions to add to the folder, but it seems that nothing ever fits like that first file. There are a few things like that in my life. A first degree. A first accomplishment. A first purchase. All of these things were so special to me then and still hold their own special place today. But what really matters are not fish
or firsts but moments when someone wrote something or said something that caused me to change into a better man. It was a sentence that wowed me. It was a lesson that challenged me. It was a gesture that took me aback. You see while things like these may deserve a place in their own folder; unlike fish and firsts, their benefits continue not just as motivation but as actual ingredients that mold me every day. So, this week don’t forget that while you are making memories someone needs you to become a good one for them. gary@outdoortruths.org www.outdoortruths.org
