Banner News donates bound volumes to Belmont Historical Society

By Alan Hodge The Banner News has donated its archival bound volumes 1945-2011 to the Belmont Historical Society. Volumes 1936-1944 were also donated in film format.

They will eventually be placed in the Belmont Historical Society Museum at 32 E. Catawba St. for public viewing.

“These volumes represent over 80 years of Belmont's past and needed a permanent home where they can be seen by citizens for decades to come,” said editor Alan Hodge.

Banner News publisher Greg Ledford had this to say about the donation.

“The Banner-News has prided itself in serving our communities with positive local news and information for over 80 years,” said Ledford. “Our philosophy at Community First Media, the Banner-News' parent company, is that each of its newspapers belong and are owned by each community that it serves. We are proud to be donating the Banner-News’ archived bound volumes to the Belmont Historical Society. This will ensure that the volumes will preserve our history and made more easily accessible to Montcross Area citizens for many, many years.”

The newspaper office has moved a number of times over the decades and the volumes have been showing their age.

“The volumes are currently residing at the Belmont Abbey College Library where the special collections librarian, Megin Vickers, is preparing them for eventual display to the public,” said BHS president Stan Cromlish. “There were several volumes that had a little water damage and the archival expert is working with those to make sure they are free of mold and mildew and processing them in accordance with archival rules. Belmont Abbey College and the Belmont Historical Society are working together on grants that would allow these Belmont Banners to be digitized and made available to a wider audience. We would like to thank Alan Hodge and the owner of the BannerNews Greg Ledford for donating a piece of history to our Society.”

The BHS museum is located in the circa 1899 Robert Lee Stowe House.

Right now, the museum is in need of some repair work.

Gabriel Muscat aims for success as archer

Gabriel Muscat, 17, of the Crowders Mountain community doesn’t wear green leotards, have a band of merry men, rob from the rich and give to the poor, or hang out in Sherwood Forest, but by George he can shoot a bow and arrow just as well if not better than the legendary archer Robin Hood.

That fact is evident when you look at the many trophies and college scholarship offers Muscat has earned since he began competitive archery earlier this year.

Muscat, who is home schooled by his mom Ginger and also takes high school level classes online, says he got interested in competitive archery via some friends who attended Pinnacle Classical Academy charter school in Shelby.

The Pinnacle Classical Academy Thunderbirds archery team has participated in both individual and team competitions as part of the Archery Shooters Association (ASA) tournaments that are held at a variety of locations. The Pinnacle team has won national and state championships.

“I went with them to a tournament at South Mountains,” Muscat said. “I had shot bows and arrows all my life but the tournament was similar to golf where

Huge equestrian event galloping our way

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

One of the largest sporting events in North Carolina history will be taking place in a couple of months at the Tryon International Equestrian Center.

Located at 4066 Pea Ridge Rd, just off US74 near Mill Spring, TIEC is only about a 90 minute drive from Gaston County and an even shorter distance from Cleveland and Rutherford counties.

Horseback heaven is a good way to describe TIEC- it had a “soft opening” in June 2014 with sanctioned horse shows and initial supporting amenities including 10 riding arenas, 850 permanent stalls, a covered riding facility- but now many more attractions are already open and even more planned.

Starting in September, Tryon International Equestrian Center at Tryon Resort, will host the FEI World Equestrian Games making it one of the world’s premier equestrian lifestyle destinations.

HISTORICAL from page 1 The Dr. McDowell Room which is the second room on the right as you enter the front door has structural issues. The beams, joists, and flooring are rotten and must be replaced at a significant cost to the BHS. At this point, quotes are still being taken for the repairs. The BHS is seeking public support for this project so it can continue to showcase the best of Belmont history in the museum which is one of the oldest structures in town.

Recently, Sammy’s Deli & Neighborhood Pub, John Bailey,

Alex East, and the entire staff showed support of the BHS through their Celebrity Chef charity fundraiser that featured Cromlish.

“We raised $720.00 all total for the Celebrity Chef event at Sammy’s back in April for the floor,” said Cromlish.

The volumes will eventually be housed in the BHS museum at 32 E. Catawba St. for public viewing.

Gaston Together facilitates “Movers & Shakers” session On June 27th, Gaston Together facilitated a session for the “Movers and Shakers” group of the 2018 Commissioners School. Thirteen students spent the morning participating in a mini-town hall community forum. The session was held at First United Methodist Church, Family Life Center in Gastonia. Student participants represented Forestview, Stuart Cramer, Hunter Huss, North Gaston, East Gaston, Ashbrook, South Point, Highland, Gaston Day and Bessemer City.

Donna Lockett, Executive Director, provided a brief

overview of the work of Gaston Together to begin the program. She reminded students who were living in Gaston County in their third grade year that they also participated in Gaston Together’s “Pride in Gaston” Traveling Tour, a program designed to build community pride in young students.

Dwayne Burks, a member of Gaston Together’s clergy association, the Gaston Clergy & Citizens Coalition, conducted the session.

Students worked in rotating small groups with discussion centered around their role as future leaders. They discussed:

1) Leadership, it’s definition, value and current impact on a local, national and international level. Students also took a deeper look at our current state of life in Gaston County.

One team demonstrated what’s good about Gaston County. A second team provided insight into the current challenges in Gaston County from their perspective. A third team looked at needed improvements in our county but chose to demonstrate things that were already good but could move to an even higher level of excellence.

Traditionally, the team that wins this presentation competition received a basket for of goodies snacks and fun trinkets such as “clap- Winners of the Community Forum presentations: “Great to Event Better in Gaston County,” pers” and From left to right: Faith Gouch (Stuart Cramer), Mackenzie Fallin (Ashbrook), Annie Russell small building (Highland Tech) and Payton Ballard (North Gaston). block tower Phone sets.

Sabastin Azar recently celebrated another birthday…the big 10th year birthday! Sabastin asked for no presents. Instead, Sabastin asked his friends and family to donate to Tri-County Animal Rescue. Sabastin loves coming to PetSmart to see all the homeless dogs and cats searching for their forever home. As you can see, Sabastin brought in two huge loads of donations for the pets and all of us at Tri-County want to praise him for his efforts. Sabastin has a heart for animals and we all appreciate him. Sabastin attends Gaston Day School.

Thanks Sabastin!

It was interesting and I shot really well.”

Just how well? Muscat won.

“I was kind of surprised,” he said.

Since then, Muscat has taken part in around thirty other archery tournaments at courses in locations such as Brown Mountain, Lake Wylie, and Shelby. Shooting a course takes about two hours.

He’s won his class in all but one event and in that one he scored second place at a national meet in Illinois.

Muscat shoots a “recurve” bow. It is a more traditional type but made of modern materials. He made his own bow from parts.

“It’s made of carbon fiber and aluminum,” he said.

“I spent about $180 for the parts.”

Muscat says some of the other competitors shoot with bows costing thousands. His arrows have a carbon shaft and field tip- sharp but not blunt and for sure no razor edge.

When he’s at a tournament, Muscat is focused.

“You have to concentrate and not let your mind wander,” he said.

He says he practices most every day.

Muscat has attracted the attention of college archery teams. He’s got a stack of scholarship offers from places like Georgetown College, Blue Mountain College,

Muscat and just a few of the awards he’s earned at archery tournaments.

“Archery is just like any other college sport,” Muscat says.

But for now, Muscat has to finish his high school and gain a year or so in age.

Muscat encourages others his age to explore archery as an alternative to more traditional sports like football.

“It’s a lot of fun if you like competition,” he said. “If you enjoy the outdoors you will love it.”

Mom Ginger agrees.

“I’m all about his archery,” she said. “It’s actually safer than a contact sport.”

As for the future, until he reaches college age, Muscat will be shooting in tourneys, even though the travel can cost a lot. He says he’s open to sponsorship in that regard.

There’s also the idea of giving lessons or coaching other archers.

Interested in talking archery with Muscat? Call 704-913-6706 (dad Mike’s phone) and let the arrows fly.

The FEI World Equestrian Games™, are held every four years in the middle of the Olympic cycle, they're the property of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), the world governing body for horse sport recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It is one of the biggest events on the global sporting calendar, combining World Championships in the Olympic disciplines of Jumping, Dressage and Eventing, the Paralympic discipline of ParaEquestrian Dressage, as well as Driving, Endurance, Vaulting and Reining.

The inaugural FEI World Equestrian Games™ were hosted in Stockholm (SWE) in 1990.

Since then the Games have been staged in The Hague (NED) in 1994, Rome (ITA) in 1998, Jerez (ESP) in 2002, and Aachen (GER) in 2006. The first Games to be organized outside Europe were the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Kentucky (USA) 2010, where 57 countries were represented by 800 human athletes and their horses. The Games returned to Europe for the 2014 edition, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™, which was held in Normandy (FRA).

The 2018 WEG has the potential to be the largest sporting event in North Carolina history with over $400 million dollars of projected economic impact and 500,000 spectators over the 13day event September 11 through 23. TIEC is preparing for a daily attendance of 40,000 – 50,000 people.

The event will likely impact on Cleveland and Gaston counties as well.

“Definitely there will be economic impact here when up to 500,000 people attend the largest sporting event ever in North Carolina and it takes place just over an hour west of Belmont on Highway 74,” said Montcross Area Chamber president Ted Hall. “It’s an international event, so people will be coming from all over the world.

Our challenges can be hidden gifts in disguise

By Lisa Harper/Belmont NC “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be

perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4 ESV God has a plan for all that happens in our lives, even though its purpose may be cloudy when we are going through it. Sometimes hard times do come to people to

turn them in a godly direction, or stop them from doing more damage to themselves or others. The difficult tribulations can get them closer to God, so they can see his mighty hand in helping them.

Other times the trials can be to change a situation to the

Meditations

Disciples make disciples Years ago I had to undergo two major surgeries. I remember meeting my anesthesiologist. His name was Dr. Hatchet. I said, “Please don’t do a hatchet job on me.” He laughed and said, “I get all kinds of jokes because of my name.” I knew I was in good hands with my doctor and anesthesiologist. Why do we trust them? They are trained and skilled in what they do. I do not go to my mechanic when I need medical care. Nor, do I go to a construction worker when I need my dentist.

In the life of the church, we are so concerned with bringing in members we neglect the discipleship process. As a result, we send members out to try to make disciples, but if someone has not developed their relationship with Jesus Christ, they will not be fruitful in making disciples. A member cannot make a disciple. Only disciples can make disciples.

Nicodemus came to Jesus by night inquiring about the signs he performs. “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

John 3:2 NIV. Jesus responded, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3:3 NIV. Jesus did not address Nicodemus concerns about signs. Jesus was more concerned about our relationship with God. So often we are more concerned about doing good works in the church. We feed at the soup kitchen, hand out water bottles with our name printed on them, and volunteer at the local schools. These are good things but have we first been born again. Are we growing in the holiness of God by the sanctifying work of the Spirit of God? First and foremost the work of the church

is to have a heart that is burdened for people to enter into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

When we are born again of the Spirit, we Rev. Angela Pleasants begin to understand District the spiritual things Superintendent of God. “The Spirit of Catawba Valley searches all things, Methodist Churches even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” I Corinthians 2:11 NIV. To be holy is to sanctify Jesus in our hearts.

As we are changed, then we are ready to go out and be change agents for the Kingdom of God. “Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” I Peter 1:13-16 NIV. As we are born again, we are separated for God’s indwelling and use. Then we can go out and do the work of God in the world. A holy life will always seek to do the will of God. When we live holy, we are saying, “I belong to God.” And, the way we live should testify to our faith in God, show the character of God and witness to the gospel.

way God has planned.

It is during the hard times that we should grow closer to God, and trust Him to carry us through them. It is also during those times that our faith can grow, as we see his mighty hand of deliverance.

I reflect on the last six months of this year, as I have lost three aunts, an uncle, and most recently, a niece… my brother’s only child. My sweet neighbor and (second Mom) reminded me, just yesterday, that the family members left remaining, we hold on to even stronger. It is our faith in the Lord indeed that we can move on after suffering such loss in a short time. And with this I know

the days, months, and years ahead, will allow me to embrace the good that is yet to come.

When we let life’s challenges bring us down, they consume us. Our internal strength may renew, and we may recover. At some point, we learn from our challenges, and it creates an inflection point in which our gifts become our core focus again.

We recapture our footing, and it is stronger than ever before. We need to win the struggle between our gifts and our challenges. It is a key to living a life full of possibility realized.

Why should bad things not happen to us? Are we

more special than even God’s only son, who also went through hard times? God has a plan for all that happens in our lives, even though its purpose may be cloudy when we are going through it.

When going through a valley, it is the time to call for the God of the mountain.

He sees what we are facing, and is willing to guide us through the hard times. Call upon Him and seek His help during those tribulations.

Follow me...

Do you remember the time when you gave your life to Jesus Christ? There was a time when you received Jesus in your heart. You promised to live for Him and serve Him. Do you remember that day, and how you felt when Jesus changed your life? As we receive Jesus in our hearts we become followers of Him. But what does it mean to follow Jesus?

Matthew 4:17-25 tells of Jesus calling His disciples.

As Jesus began His earthly ministry, we know He was baptized in the Jordan River

by John the Baptist. Jesus then began to call those twelve men who would be His followers throughout His ministry, death, and resurrection. Jesus first came to two brothers, fishermen, who were there by the Sea of Galilee. He came to Andrew and Peter, and said to them “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19, NKJV). He also came to two other brothers, James and John, who were mending their nets in the boat with their father Zebedee. They left their father and followed Jesus. Eight other men would follow as well. These men went with Jesus and followed Him wherever He ministered.

Jesus. Jesus called Much like the disciples, we are these twelve men followers of Christ to teach them to too. As followspread the gospel ers, what does it after He was asmean? Followcended back to the ers of Jesus love Father. These men Him. The disciples went on to plant loved Jesus. They churches and lead lived for Him, and thousands to Jesus. gave their lives for Rev. Trent Rankin We are to lead othhim, as they each ers to Jesus Christ. Followlost their life for Jesus. If we ers of Jesus are to multiply follow Jesus, we must love into more followers. We are Him above all else. Followcalled by Jesus to spread the ers of Jesus also, as the name gospel. We live in a world implies, follow Him. The where most people are lost, disciples went with Jesus everywhere He ministered, they yet we have what they need, never turned back. When we Jesus. We must tell the good give our life to Jesus, we news!

Just like those twelve men never look back. We begin a life long journey with Him. Jesus called, we are disciples.

Followers of Jesus grow We are followers of Jesus closer to Him, and more like Christ. That means we love Him. As we read the gos- Him, live for Him, and grow pels, through Acts, we see more like Him. We also draw how the disciples matured in others to Him. Those distheir faith. These fishermen ciples were to be fishers of became elder statesmen of men, and so are we. Maybe the church, reflecting Jesus Jesus is asking you today to Christ to all they met. In the follow Him. Will you say yes same way, we as followers of to Him today? Will you folJesus should grow closer to low Him? It will be the best Him through our prayer life, decision you ever make! our study of God’s Word, By Rev. Trent Rankin and our commitment.

Belmont Jr. Legion wins division

By Art Shoemaker Jason Lineberger’s Jr. Legion team has enjoyed an excellent season in the Eastern Division of Area IV play.

With perhaps the youngest squad in the division the locals opened up play with a 5-5 record.

But better things were in store for the team as the Belmont Jr’s won eight consecutive games to capture first place in regular season play.

Belmont drew a first round bye in the play-offs as a result of winning the regular season crown. Their first opponent in the play-offs was Stanley.

Matthew Walker was the winning pitcher in the first

game and relief pitcher Ethan Simmonds was effective in his three innings of work.

Belmont only managed three runs in winning 3-2.

Quinton Harte was the leading hitter with three bingles and driving in a run. Noah Hargett added two additional hits with a RBI. Belmont traveled to Stanley for the second game and closed out this series in winning by a 10-4 score.

Marshall Witherell was the winning pitcher. Grayson Thomas and Jake Beaty both were up to the task as relief pitchers.

The team now enters 2018 Belmont Junior Legion Team - Front row left to right- Wyatt Triplett, Grayson Thomas, Noah Hargett, Quinten Harte, a round robin tournament Andrew Shell, and Jake Beatty. Second row left to right: Cooper Ray, Tyler Crawford, Hunter Hogue, Marshall Witherell, Beau with three other teams from Adams, Jason Risk, Matthew Walker.

Belmont pitcher Jake Beatty has been a star on the mound.

Belmont’s Brian Mellette rips a single in a recent game.

Area IV with the winner of this tourney qualifyng for the state tournament to be played in Manteo, NC in late July. Coach Lineberger feels that West Caldwell will be a strong opponent in this Area IV tournament as they won the Western Division and the tournament is being played at their home field. He added that if his team continues to play at their current pace they can compete favorably with any team in the Area IV Western Division tourney.

Rightfielder Quinton Harte has led the team thus far in the season with a .500 batting average. He also has performed well as a pitcher.

Leftfielder Andrew Warren is currently hitting a .460 clip followed by Brian Mellette at .410. Other top hitters are Carson Shell at .389, Ryan Harris at .375, speedy centerfielder Will Rhinehart at .335 followed by Beau Adams at

.333. This team as a whole has a very good .315 average.

This outstanding offensive showing has been a key to the team’s success thus far.

Grayson Thomas leads the pitching staff with a 4-0 record. Marshall Witherell is next in line at 3-1. Matthew Walker and Jake Beaty have also pitched well. Pitching is always a key to winning in baseball and our locals are stocked in this department.

Lineberger commented that the team has been very coachable, played with a good attitude and has shown much improvement during the season. He added that playing Jr. Legion baseball prepares the boys for high school play in the spring. He expressed his sincere appreciation to Belmont Post 144 and to the cooperation and support of The American Legion Junior baseball team from Belmont has parents of the players for the had a great season. On a recent outing, Coach Jason Lineteam’s success this summer. berger was seen giving his team some batting tips.

There were two Phil Whites at Mount Holly High in the 1960s.

One excelled at football and baseball – played center field and batted lead-off because he was lightning-bolt quick at stealing bases, and was football defensive player of the year as a senior for his work at cornerback and safety.

The other Phil White was asked by his English Literature teacher if he’d rather wait in the library during class, instead of study about poets and death, since White, 16 years old in March of 1965, had just been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and the prognosis was cruel.

White, the athlete, excelled on the field despite a chronic knee injury and breaking his left collarbone.

White, the student, chose to stay in English class. He also chose to live.

For White’s efforts to beat other teams as an athlete, and his ability to beat cancer as a man, he gained a place in the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame.

“I was one of those kids who could take two steps and be at full speed, so they would hope I got on,” he says of his baseball success. “I don’t know how many bases I stole. I remained the first hitter, and was always surprised the four years I played. It was like, ‘Wow! I hit the ball.’

“In football, I think the most fun was just playing together and surviving the practices and wind sprints that (2007 HOF inductee) Coach Delmer Wiles put us through.

He was a retired drill instructor from the Marines.

“But I have a very checkered history with illness and injury throughout high school. I was that guy who always had the illness or injury.”

Gaston Braves begin play-off run

By Art Shoemaker The G-Braves opened the play-offs on a winning note.

Traveling to Hickory to play Post 48 the Braves were victorious in a best of five series by a 8-0 score in game one.

The veteran of the pitching staff, Ethan Shell, was in top form in tossing 5 2/3 innings and allowed only one hit. Shell fanned four Hickory batters and walked three.

Jordan Lathe, a slick fielding infield, got the Braves on the board in the fifth inning by stroking a double that produced two runs. The Braves added three additional runs in both the sixth and seventh innings.

Grant Tilley, playing his third season for the Braves, led the way at bat in going three for four with a RBI. The G-man, as fans are found of calling him, has enjoyed an outstanding 2018 season for our locals. Dosi Jonas and Luke Bumgarner each finished two for four. Centerfielder Jason Magged added a hit.

Back home at Abbey Yard for game two the Braves were on the right side of the ledger in winning by a 5-4 tally. The Braves trailed 4-2 after four innings of play. However the Braves answered the call by scoring a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth to pull out the win in game two.

Wesley Hall was the starting pitcher in the second contest and was up to the task in his four innings in allowing five hits and two earned runs.

Cam Hilton was excellent in relief in shutting out Hickory in the final three innings.

It was back to Hickory for game three. Playing for the third night in a row the Braves ran out of steam in dropping the game by a 7-6 count. After three innings of play the Braves led by 4-0.

Hickory’s big inning was the fifth as they scored five runs.

Going in the sixth inning the Braves were down seven to four. The Braves added runs in the sixth and seventh but this was not enough in losing the game by a run.

The G-Braves outhit Hickory ten to nine but four costly errors was the difference in the game.

Dosi Jonas has been the leader all year with the bat and was three for four in this game with one being a homerun. Jason Maggs continues to swing the stick well in going two for three. Single hits were added by Jordan Lathe, Scottie Lee, Carter Merrill, Caleb Hager and Luke Bumgarner.

Jordan Landis worked the first three innings on the mound. Grant Tilley relieved in the fourth and was the victim of fielding miscues by the Braves before Dosi Jonas came on in the fifth and shut out Hickory in the final three innings in allowing no hits to

Post 48.

Back home in Belmont for game four the G-Braves closed out the series in winning 8-4. The Braves scored first with a tally in the opening frame. Hickory answered with a three spot to take a lead after two innings. But the Braves bats came alive in the fourth inning in adding five runs to the scoreboard and tacked on two more in the sixth in winning this decisive fourth and final game of the series.

Nolan Cochran opened on the mound for the Braves but had control problems before being relieved by Cameron Hilton in the fourth. When Hilton came Hickory had the bases loaded but Hilton was up to the task in getting out of this jam in stranding all three Hickory runners. In his four innings of work Hilton allowed only four hits in picking up this big win for the Braves.

Dosi Jonas continues to lead the way on offense as he had four hits on the night with two RBI’s. Ethan Shell, Ben Bowman and Jordan Lathe added two hits each with Lathe’s hitting produced two RBI’s. Scottie Lee, Wesley Hall and Luke Bumgarner each chipped in with a hit.

Round two of Area IV playoffs began with the Braves traveling to Shelby at Veterans Field home of the two National American Legion World Series.

The game was scoreless after two innings of play.

The game was decided when Shelby crossed the dish five times in the bottom of the third frame in building a lead that the Braves were unable to overcome.

The G-Braves answered with a single tally in the fourth inning and plated two more scores in the sixth but fell short by a final score of 5-3 in the opening contest of round two of the play-offs.

Ethan Shell started on the hill for the locals and allowed eight hits and five runs.

However fielding miscues by several base running lapses also stopped the Braves from several scoring opportunities.

The Braves were not helpful as Shell gave it his best in this outing.

Scottie Lee and Jordan Lathe led the Braves with two hits each. The Braves collected a total of seven bingles for the game.

Last Friday the Braves returned home to Abbey Yard in hosting Shelby in game two. Shelby Post 82 came out with blazing bats in posting three runs in both the first and fourth innings and added one in the third and tacked on two more in the fifth to win the game by a final score of 9-0.

What little offense the Braves could muster in this game was provided by Wesley Hall and Dosi Jonas who

Front row left to right: Caleb Hegar, Jordan Lathe, Luke Bumgarner, Jacob Landis, Ben Bowman, Wesley Hall, Jason Maggs, and Easton Pasour (bat boy).

Photo furnished each collected two hits each with one of Jonas’s being a double. Jordan Lathe added a single which accounted for the Braves five hits in the game.

Wesley Hall started on the

mound for the Braves and struggled for the first time this season. But this was just not his night. Dosi Jonas finished up on the hill in throwing the final two innings and allowed Shelby no runs.

Coach King was not pleased with the play of the Braves in this game. He commented post game that the team must improve in all facets of play in order to be successful against a very

strong Shelby squad.

This series has not been completed and the results will be reported in next week’s Banner News.

Just before school let out for summer, students and staff at Pinewood Elementary in Mt. Holly celebrated Fran Griffa Day “A Day of Kindness”. Mrs. Griffa (photo in frame) faithfully served the students and families of Mt. Holly for 20 years.

Gaston County Board of Education recognitions The Gaston County Board of Education recognized the following students, employees, and community/business partners during the May 21, 2018 and June 18, 2018 meetings.

The Board of Education recognized Hunter Huss High School student Aliya Wilson, who won first place in the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Environmental Ambassador competition. She helped to fund and install a water bottle refilling station at the school. By using refillable water bottles, it decreases the number of plastic water bottles used on a regular basis. Wilson will represent North Carolina at the 2018 FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Atlanta.

The Board of Education recognized Joseph Buckner, Julia Murrow, and Patience Foster from Highland School of Technology. As a team, Buckner and Murrow placed first in the North Carolina Moot Court competition. Foster and Sara Jane Heavner, who was not able to attend the meeting, placed second in the state. In addition, Murrow was recognized as the best arguer during the competition. The students are pictured with Board member Lee Dedmon, principal Denise McLean, and moot court adviser Anna Ballard.

The following schools increased giving by more than 50 percent: Bessemer City Central Elementary, Cherryville Elementary, Lowell Elementary, Mount Holly Middle, Page Primary, Rankin Elementary, Southwest Middle, and Stanley Middle.

The Board of Education recognized 19 schools and four central-level departments for exceeding expectations to support Gaston County Schools’ United Way fundraising campaign. For the 2017-2018 school year, employees from all schools and central-level departments contributed more than $98,000 to the United Way to fund important programs in Gaston County.

The Board of Education recognized individuals who served on the “Our Children, Our Future” community committee that was instrumental in ensuring passage of the $250 million school bond referendum. The group was responsible for coordinating the community-wide campaign, which resulted in citizens approving the bonds with more than 69 percent of the vote. Pictured are Will Neumann, committee chairperson; Steve D’Avria of the Gaston Regional Chamber; Steve Huffstetler, committee treasurer; and Erin Russell, committee member.

The following schools and central-level offices had a 100 percent in giving: W.B. Beam Intermediate, Bessemer City Primary, Cherryville High School, Stuart W. Cramer High School, Hawks Nest STEAM Academy, McAdenville Elementary, North Gaston High School, Academic Services, Technology/Accountability/Testing, Superintendent’s Office, and Human Resources.

The Board of Education recognized Addison Beam, who won the 1-A individual state golf championship at Foxfire Resort and Golf Club near Pinehurst. During the second day of the tournament, Addison shot a 73 to finish one stroke ahead and claim the state title. Addison is pictured with his parents, Board member Lee Dedmon, principal Denise McLean, and golf coach Marty Hutchins.

Ashbrook High School, Cramerton Middle School, Chapel Grove Elementary, and Academic Services were recognized for having the highest fundraising total for each school level and central department.

Gaston College seeks applicants for STEM related scholarships Students interested in pursuing a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education are invited to apply for SPARC scholarships available at Gaston College.

Biology majors are especially encouraged to apply. Friday, July 20, is the deadline to apply for priority consideration.

The one-year renewable scholarships, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, are in the amount of $6,000 per year for Gaston College students.

After completing their studies at Gaston College and receiving an Associate of Science degree, scholarship recipients who transfer to UNC Charlotte to major in biology are eligible to apply for oneyear renewable scholarships of $7,500 per year.

The scholarships are part of the SPARC4, or STEM Persistence and Retention via Curricula, Centralization, Cohorts, and Collaboration Project. The initiative is a collaboration among Gaston College, UNC Charlotte and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.

Students chosen to receive the scholarship funds will also benefit from faculty and peer mentoring and targeted advising designed to promote successful transfer to the biology or pre-biology major at UNC Charlotte in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Participants in the SPARC project will have the opportunity to travel with their colleagues and instructors to present their research findings at science events around the United States. In past years, students have presented at events in Portland, Ore., Phoenix, Ariz., and Washington, D.C., among others.

The SPARC project is led

by Ashley Hagler, SPARC Director; Dr. Melissa Arm-

strong, Science and Mathematics Chairperson; and Dr. Heather Woodson, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs. The new scholarship program is an expansion of the ongoing SPARC3 project which began at Gaston College in 2009. That project has resulted in improved academic scores for participating students and higher percentages of students completing their associate degrees, when compared to the college’s general population. The rate of students transferring into STEM majors at North Carolina universities has also increased due to the SPARC project.

Gaston College hopes to award up to 15 scholarships to students participating in the SPARC project beginning in the Fall 2018 semester. To meet the priority deadline, applications should be submitted by Friday, July 20.

SPARC Scholarship applicants will be interviewed by the SPARC staff. The interview process is in progress.

Those interested in applying for the scholarships must have maintained at least a 3.0 unweighted GPA in high school or in previous college courses (applicants from other colleges must have accumulated fewer than 20 class hours), and must enroll in the Associate of Science program at Gaston College.

Early registration for the Fall 2018 semester has begun.

For more information about the SPARC project and the SPARC scholarships, contact Ashley Hagler, SPARC Director, at hagler. ashley@gaston.edu or 704922-6529.

Tyler Zonin is a true testament to how the Gaston County Schools mentoring program can change lives.

A New Jersey native, Zonin had difficulty adjusting to life after the move to North Carolina. He became involved in the mentoring program as a sixth-grade student at Holbrook Middle School. Zonin graduated in June from North Gaston High School and is looking toward the future with a mentoring scholarship in hand.

Zonin was chosen to receive the Paul F. Fuller Scholarship, which is given each year to an outstanding student who has been involved in the school district’s mentoring program. The $1,000 scholarship is renewable for up to four years.

Zonin plans to use the scholarship to attend Western Carolina University where he will study in the four-year paramedic program and pursue a degree in emergency medical care. He has already participated in the GEMS (Gaston Emergency Medical Services) Explorers program and completed Emergency Medical Training (EMT) basic certification at Gaston College.

Looking back on his journey with the mentoring program, Zonin said going into middle school, he was nervous about finding new friends and meeting new teachers. He spent a lot of time dealing with anxiety during his first few months of school. Then, he met Mr. Campbell, the husband of Zonin’s art teacher, who would sometimes substitute when she was out of class.

“He helped me when times were rough, and I couldn’t handle the change in scenery by myself,” Zonin said of Campbell.

Their favorite topic?

Yankees baseball. “I love baseball and I love the Yankees,” Zonin said. “Whenever I talked about baseball, it would change my mood. I would go from sad and angry to happy.”

While Zonin talked about baseball with Mr. Campbell, a former ball player himself, he dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player. But when in the ninth grade, Zonin found his passion for emergency care.

Zonin is excited to see where the future takes him at Western, one of the only schools in the state that offers

a degree in emergency medical care. And looking back on his journey through middle and high school, he knows he wouldn’t be where he is today without the help of Mr. Campbell.

Three students get trade and technical training scholarships For the first time this year, three additional graduating seniors were recognized with the Paul F. Fuller Scholarship for Trades and Technical Training. The trades and technical training scholarships were created through a partnership with the Noon Optimist Club of Gastonia.

The Paul F. Fuller Scholarship for Trades and Technical Training is worth $500 and renewable for an additional $500.

Rodney Brooks, who graduated from Hunter Huss High School, said it took him a while to get used to having a mentor. But once he did, he couldn’t imagine his life without one.

“My mentor always told me I was a better person,” he said. “He made me say it to myself, and I believed it.”

Brooks will attend Gaston College to study Broadcasting and Audio Production Technology.

Another Hunter Huss graduate, Angelica Huffstetler, also received the trade and technical scholarship.

Through the mentorship program, Huffstetler developed a love for working with children. She plans to attend Gaston College and get her associate degree in early childhood education. She wants to pass on the help she got from the mentor program to someone else who was in her position in school.

“I would love to help kids any chance I get because I got that chance when I was younger,” she said. “Returning the favor would mean so much to me.”

East Gaston’s Evan Summerlin is the third recipient of the trades and technical scholarship. Summerlin worked as a state-approved apprenticeship with Tindol Ford Subaru ROUSH in Gastonia.

In the fall, Summerlin will attend Guilford Technical Community College to receive his Ford factory certification and automotive associate degree while continuing to be employed at Tindol Ford Subaru ROUSH. Summerlin says without his mentor, he wouldn’t have been

able to achieve any of these future plans.

“Without the input and influence of my mentor, I would be unsure of my plans after graduation,” he said. “Thanks to Mr. Hawkins, I have a job and a state-approved internship, which I could never have obtained without him.”
