Belmont Public Works building renovation on track By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
The major remodeling project on the City of Belmont Public Works building at 1401 Catawba St. has made great progress over the past months and is entering the homestretch of its new use and look. The 1980s era building, which has formerly occupied by Woodlawn Mills and Beltex Corp. and has been used by Belmont as its public works headquarters for the past several years and is being transformed into a modern, state of the art, efficient, spacious, and comfortable complex for the city’s business and its administrative staff.
The building has a lot of space including 55K sq. ft. that will retain its use as a warehouse for city equipment, supplies, and vehicles, as well as a 21K sq. ft., three level portion that will serve as the administrative office complex side of things. “We hope to have the project finished and everyone in their new offices by Christmas,” said Belmont’s public works director David Isenhour. As of last week, employees from Charlotte-based Momentum Construction and other companies have built interior walls, run wiring, put in HVAC ducts, and continued work on an elevator tower that will run on the outside of the front of the building.
The tower will feature a large City of Belmont logo. “The elevator will come the last part of September or first part of October,” said contractor foreman Kelly Hillman. The same end of the building that the elevator is on will also have a huge, three story glass wall. The upper two levels of the building will be the new home of the city’s administrative departments such as city clerk, city manager, planning and zoning, billing, and customer service. The offices will get new furniture and equipment. There will be a nice lunch room for employees as well as a kitchen and lockers. See BELMONT, Page 2

BELMONT From Page 1
Windows have been cut in the side of the building facing Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park and the Catawba River, affording employees a sweeping and spectacular view of the water. The lower level will be home to the parks and recreation department. The lower level will be a temporary location for city council meetings. There will be room for about 300 seats unlike the current situation where council meetings at city hall are generally standing room only. “The city council will hold its meetings in the new space while the current city hall undergoes an interior remodel to enlarge the council chambers there,” said Isenhour.
Parking will be plentiful at the renovated complex. Isenhour estimates at least 100 spots not counting employee spaces. The future parking lot has been graded off. As far as the warehouse portion, it will be getting new LED lights and other improvements. Another feature being built in the warehouse is a sign shop where street and information signage will be stored, made, or repaired. Cost of the renovation project is estimated at $4 million. The city bought the building and 27 acres nine years ago for $2.5 million. Land in front of the building is slated for a new gym, but it might be a while before that project gets under way.

GOAT ISLAND From Page 1 woodlands before ending at a temporary observation deck near Wilkinson Blvd. Getting the trail cut has been a challenge thanks to General Mud. “We have finally got some dry weather,” said Cramerton Parks and Rec. director Eric Smallwood. “We are hoping to put down some pavement on the trail any day now and open the trail in late September.” Marty Sexton with Eaglewood General Contractors- the folks building the
greenway- agreed with Smallwood. “We have the paving and grass seed guys lined up,” he said. The greenway extension will be another feather in Cramerton’s goal to create places where folks can get outdoors and enjoy nature. In addition to hikers, the trail should offer plenty of bird- Dean Lancaster and grandson Cole Abernathy out and about at watching opportunities as Goat Island Park last week. well as wildflower viewing. Massive trees will provide “The greenway extension lots of shade in summer and is a huge boost to fitness and beautiful foliage in autumn. health as well as to the local economy,” Smallwood said. “It is an awesome amenity.” Future plans for the trail could include extending it all the way to McAdenville, but that will depend on the timetable of the NCDOT’s plan to build a new bridge on US74 across the South Fork. In other Crameerton Parks and Rec. news, Goat Island Park has been getting some upgrades. A new cover was installed last week over the fitness pavilion. The playground area will be getting a new state of the art surface that resembles artificial turf and that is flood resistant. “The playground will be one hundred percent ADA accessible,” said Smallwood. Finally, excess soil that was deposited on Goat Island by the flood of a couple of months ago has been scooped up and formed into a large mound. The mound will be seeded with grass for use by kids of all ages as a natural Pavement for the Cramerton trail will be applied shortly. Photos by Alan Hodge “hill climb” feature.

Meditations How to deal with difficult people As a child, I used to tag along behind my older sisters. They would tell me to stay home, but I always wanted to go with them. Sometimes, they would permit me to tag along, but I would not always be obedient to their demands. They would ask me to keep up, and I would dawdle. My sisters would always ask, “Why do you have to be so difficult?” As the youngest, I would hear that often from my siblings. When making food choices, “Why do you have to be so difficult?” When deciding on something to wear, “Why do you have to be so difficult?” We are often expected to hear this from family when we are younger, but as an adult, it is not often words you want to hear. One does not want to be labeled a “difficult” person. I can reflect on times I have been a difficult person. It is during these times I pray for God to deliver and heal my heart. Also, I have experienced working with difficult people. Difficult people can drain you of energy and distract you from your purpose. So, how do we deal with the difficult people who enter our life? When dealing with difficult people, know your purpose. I try to live by this statement; I don’t allow just anyone to sit on the front row of the auditorium of my life. I am careful who I permit into my inner circle. But there are times people will sneak into that seat. How do you know when they are difficult people? Often, when they try to pull you from your purpose. Don’t give someone that much power over you. Therefore, you must always know your purpose. Sometimes difficult people are difficult because they are not spiritually discerned. They do not know God in an intimate relationship. “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.” I Corinthians 2:14 NASB.
Move the conversation from the flesh to the Spirit and watch what happens. People without the Spirit’s illumination will not understand God’s invitation in your life to live on Rev. Angela Pleasants purpose for him. As District a result, there will be Superintendent times they will walk of Catawba Valley out of your life. If Methodist Churches they walk out of your life, let them walk. Don’t lower your threshold. Be careful of being too needy. When we are too needy, difficult, non-spiritually discerned people will enter your personal space. We will permit it because we feel they are fulfilling that area of need. True contentment comes only from God. “Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:1113 NASB. Paul’s words in the writings to the Philippians expressed his purpose. It was not in having wealth or living in poverty. His purpose and contentment were to continue to preach Christ. We take away the perceived power others or things have over us when we live into our divine purpose. All sufficiency comes from God, not things. We will always encounter difficult people. But, we do not have to permit them access into our holy of holies. Do not allow them that front seat in the auditorium of your life.

Back to the basics by: Shelton Fisher Waylon Jennings once sang a line that resonates in my mind from time to time; kind of like the echo of the last chord in a song just before the crowd cheers. In the song “Luckenbach, Texas”, he sings, “maybe it’s time we got back to the basics of love…”. For some that could mean rekindling an old flame by finding that spark with a loved one, while for others it’s learning to love one’s self. As for this work in progress, it’s been recovering and finding the joy in negative spaces. In one of those spaces, I’m finding that music has become one of my best friends again. I remember singing since early childhood, claiming that The Beach Boys were my favorite band of all time (to this day I’m not sure whether that’s impressive or embarrassing for a kindergartner to have told people). One of the advantages of having parents who grew up in the age of flower power is learning what music was before it became polluted. As the years flew by “the beat rolled on” as Sonny and Cher would say, and I learned to play piano both by ear and a little by sight reading. Kat Granger used to teach me piano every week after school and could always tell whether I had been practicing or not. I will never forget each week in the fellowship hall of North Main Baptist Church. Unfortunately, money grew tight and my sight reading skills got the best of me, thus ending the span of my piano lessons. The glorious thing however about piano, is that it was only the beginning of my musical foundation. I have always carried a love/hate relationship with the guitar. I can remember getting my first electric guitar by recommendation of my first guitar teacher, Jamie Pressley. I was friends with his son and lived just three houses away from him. I remember sitting in his house plugged in, ready to jam out and
attempting to play “Ode to Joy” on single strings (terribly might I add). Jamie was like a guitar guru. He knew how to Shelton Fisher play just about anything imaginable and to hear him play “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne was enough to melt your ears (which was a good thing). By my own devices, I grew discouraged and put the guitar down thinking I would never learn to play… Then I turned sixteen. I can remember one night sitting in my room looking up song lyrics on the internet. My dad had an old Gibson acoustic with a bent neck that I messed with sometimes just to pretend like I knew what I was doing. I had always thought how great it must be to be able to sing and play at the same time. To be my own band would’ve been incredible! With this in mind, I decided to look up some guitar chords to songs I knew. I discovered chord charts, began to play songs, and before I knew it, I became fairly proficient with rhythm guitar. After begging my parents to take a trip to Guitar Center, I had a new acoustic that carried me through graduation. It hasn’t all been rainbows and sunshine. I tried with all my might to make it as a musician, and the living is too tough for me. I tried so hard as a matter of fact, that I lost the happiness in my playing. I put my guitar down for several years until recently. When your mental health is suffering and you feel like something is just simply missing, sometimes it’s the passion you once left behind that begins to save you. Perhaps I’ll take the stage again one day, but for now my couch is just fine for my wife, the dogs, and I.

BANNER-NEWS OBITUARIES
Sarah McIntosh Nixon Lowesville – Sarah McIntosh Nixon, 96, of Lowesville passed away July 25, 2019. She was born February 22, 1923, in Gaston County to Fred Thomas and Maude Huitt McIntosh. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Roy Monroe Nixon, daughter Miriam Kay “Murray” Nixon, and six siblings. She is survived by son Clifton (Lynne) of Durham; daughter Susan Kuenzel (Bill) of Wilbar; daughter Kathy Sparrow (Rick) of Hillsborough; grandchildren Will Kuenzel (Amy), Codie Kuenzel, Elizabeth Nixon, Sarah Nixon, Roy “Bart” Nixon, Merilee Nixon, and Julie Nixon; great-grandchildren Jenna and Lana Kuenzel; brother Tom McIntosh (Lela); and sister Ann Brotherton. She will be remembered by family and friends for her generous nature, sending cards and notes for every occasion, and sharing her crocheted angels/ornaments and homemade sourdough bread for many years. She was a faithful member of Salem United Methodist Church and hosted a prayer group in her home until recently.
Sarah began a lifetime of volunteer service months after she married in 1947 when she joined a home demonstration club, now Extension and Community Association (ECA) in Gaston County. This led to a 65+ year career of volunteer work to make communities all over the world better for women, children and families in cooperation with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. Over the years, her volunteer service included active participation statewide as the 1987 State President of the North Carolina Extension Homemakers (now NC ECA). She was also editor of the Tarheel Homemaker newsletter for the NCEHA/ NC ECA for many years. In 2011, she was inducted as a charter member of the Dr. Jane S. McKimmon Family and Consumer Services Hall of Fame at North Carolina State University. Nationally, she served on the National Extension Homemakers Council, on the Country Women’s Council, USA and internationally with the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW), headquartered in London. As a life member of ACWW since 1977, she was a voting delegate to triennial conferences in Kenya, East Africa; Kansas City, Missouri; The Hague, The Netherlands; and Tasmania, Australia. She helped organize the Mount Holly and Lowesville ECA Clubs. She was a 4-H leader for many years and helped organize 4-H Clubs in the area. She also played a significant role in the Lincoln County Apple Festival and the National Pie Day events in Lincoln County. She continued to serve in advisory leadership roles for NC ECA
and NCCES for many years. For almost 50 years, Sarah spread news about Mount Holly and its activities as a newspaper reporter, columnist, and news editor. She served as president of the North Carolina Press Women in 1973-1974 and won numerous NCPW writing awards. After ending a 44 year career of covering all phases of life around Mount Holly, Sarah wrote a monthly column about local news and happenings. In 2009, Sarah was chosen as the Grand Marshall for the Mount Holly Christmas Parade and honored with the Sprit Award in 2013 as part of her induction into the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame. She was a former Lincoln County Woman of the Year, was Mount Holly’s Woman Then and Now honoree, and recipient of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, NC Governors’ highest honor awarded. A service to celebrate her life was held on Sunday, July 28, at 2:00pm at Salem United Methodist Church, 378 North Pilot Knob Road, Denver, NC, with the Rev. David Greene officiating. Burial followed in the church cemetery. The family received friends at the church on Saturday, July 27, from 7:00-8:30pm in the family life center. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Salem UMC or to the Sarah Nixon Family and Consumer Sciences Scholarship Fund at NC Agricultural Foundation, Campus Box 7645, NC State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7645 (note Sarah Nixon Scholarship on donation.)

Nothing lasts forever Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
One thing we can always count on in this life, is that nothing lasts forever. You can buy the nicest car on the lot, and within a number of years the paint will fade, and the upholstery will crack. You can buy a large house in a beautiful neighborhood, and it will eventually need a roof, repainting, and new carpet. Our bodies will also wear out too. The things of this world are temporal, yet Jesus is eternal. Hebrews 13:8 reminds us, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (NKJV) If the things of God are forever, yet our world is temporary, then are we living for the world, or God? In Luke 12:13-21, Jesus gives us the Parable of the Rich Fool. In this parable, Jesus tells of a young man who was very rich. He was a farmer. He had many crops, and the harvest was very great. God had blessed him in a mighty way. He had so much from his harvest, that his barns could not hold the goods. He decided that he would tear down his barns, and build new ones that could hold his tremendous harvest. As he looked upon all that he had accumulated, he said within himself, that he would rest easy on all that he had gathered. He would sit back, eat, drink, and be merry. Unfortunately for him, God
came to him that night saying, “Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?” (NKJV) Rev. Trent Tankin He died, leaving all of his possessions behind. In this world, we will never have true joy or peace apart from Jesus Christ. This young man thought happiness and peace could be found in the things he had. In our society, people think the only way they can be happy and live peaceful lives, is by the money they have and their status with others. All the things this world values such as money, possessions, and power, can vanish in an instant. Even our lives can end in a heartbeat. If such things are temporary, then why do we dedicate so much of our lives and time to them? Instead of placing so much of our lives on the temporary, we should plan for the eternal. One can imagine our lives if we prepared for God in the same way we plan for things that will pass away. One day, like the young rich man, our lives will end. We will stand before God face to face. What will matter most then? Will we have a life dedicated to self to show God, or will we have a lifetime of faith, service, and love before God? As you live your life today, what are you living for, the world, or God?

After school, the Y helps kids reach their potential A new school year is filled with potential—a chance to start new routines and habits, build new friendships and discover new possibilities and interests. It’s an exciting time for many kids, however—at the end of the school day, 1 in 5 children kids do not have someone to care for them after school, according to Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness organization. As families are transitioning from summer to fall, the Gaston County Family YMCA is offering programs to school-aged children throughout Gaston County Schools to keep youth active, busy and engaged during out-of-school time. Through a well-rounded approach to youth development, the Y’s program[s] offer[s] activities in a caring and safe environment during the critical hours after school. Whether through sports, mentorship, or academic support, the Y nurtures the potential of youth throughout the school year. “Over 11 million children are unsupervised between 3 and 6pm, an essential time to help increase children’s success in school,” said Rachel Kafsky, Associate Executive Director, Warlick Family YMCA. “Afterschool at the Y is an opportunity for families to ensure their kids are receiving additional support, continued learning and a chance to participate in meaningful activities that
can inspire children’s motivations and help them reach their potential.” The Y is a leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen, supporting their social-emotional, cognitive and physical development from birth to career. In the Gaston County YMCA’s afterschool program youth receive help with homework or tutoring and can also explore the arts, music, literacy, math and science, and more! Financial assistance is available to those in need, to ensure every child and teen has the opportunity to learn and grow at the Y.
couraging healthy eating habits, limiting screen time and providing physical activity to keep every child healthy. Play takes place outdoors daily whenever possible. Our activities are designed to be a mixture of moderate and vigorous physical activity to promote bone and muscle strengthening. We restrict access to screen time or movies unless it involves homework, or is a specifically designed aspect of the curriculum and is for educational purposes. We serve fruits or vegetables weekly for snack. We include educational materials in parent handouts and newsletters.
STEAM Programs Careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) are projected to grow 17 percent over the next few years, and the Y is helping youth develop strong problemsolving, planning, analysis and decision-making skills to succeed in the classroom and in high-demand careers through specific monthly themes over the course of the school year with programmed activities children can try in each of these areas of focus.
Drowning Prevention Priority Drowning prevention is a top priority for the YMCA. Each summer we invest in ensuring every child in Gaston County has access to free or reduced swim lessons to ensure their preparedness. But why limit that priority to summer when we could be teaching water safety all year long? A session of free swim lessons will be provided for every Afterschool participant during the school year. Swimming skills are lifesaving skills. For more information about the Gaston County Family YMCA’s afterschool program, please contact Rachel Kafsky, Associate Executive Director, Warlick Family YMCA at rkafsky@ gastonymca.org or visit gastonymca.org.

Gold fever still grips our area Cooking Smart with Fall By Alan Hodge
Foods Workshop offered
alan@cfmedia.info
Prior to the California gold rush of 1849, our area was part of the top gold producing region in America. In fact, from 1860 until the Civil War, gold mining was along with farming one of the primary occupations not only in Gaston County, but across the Piedmont in general. So much gold was found in our local area that a branch of the U.S. Mint was set up in Charlotte in 1836 to handle it. As early as the 1700s there were a number of gold producing mines in Belmont, Mount Holly, Stanley, Cherryville, including one operation that dredged the shores of the Catawba River. In his book “Early History of Belmont and Gaston County, Robert Lee Stowe, Sr., gave a glimpse at local prospecting. “There was considerable gold mining going on in this country before the Civil War and some years afterwards,” Stowe wrote in 1951. “The Leeper mine was worked more than a hundred years ago and was considered a rich mine.” The Wells mine was located just north of Sterling Mill in Belmont and was worked extensively during the 1870s. Before the Civil War there was a place about two miles south of the Southern Railway bridge where a gold vein crossed the river. The people of the neighborhood would get a flat boat in the summertime and use a long handle and scoop up the sand and gravel from the river bottom and wash it for gold. This was a tedious process but the folks are said to have made good wages. Sometime in the late 1890s a man built a dredge boat and had a steam shovel affair with which he scooped up the sand. He was purported to have gotten a considerable amount of gold but could not handle the dredge when there was arise in the river which was pretty often. Eventually, there came a freshet in the river that washed the boat away and the scheme was abandoned. In Catawba Heights, a small gold mine was operated on the Smith farm around the turn of the 20th century. The site was located near Fite Creek and was a large depression in the ground with crude machinery for sifting rocks. As the story goes, gold was found, but a cave-in nearly cost one miner his life and the digging was halted. Down the South Point

The Executive Council of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of French (NCAATF), has announced that Marissa (Mars) J. Strausbaugh has been chosen to receive a John Philip Couch Scholarship for study abroad with AIFS Study Abroad in Grenoble, France in spring 2020. Mars is a 2017 alumni of South Point High School. She was on the Chancellor’s List at UNC-Asheville during the fall 2018 semester and the Dean’s List during the spring 2019 semester, which speaks to her talent, work ethic, and strong motivation. Mars is currently majoring in French Language and Lit-
erature, K-12 licensure at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. She plans to become a K-12 French teacher, and she has a true desire to work and live in French. Her academic record and performance in French are outstanding and her professors highly praised her speaking skills and desire to know the French language and cultures in depth. They said she is a budding teacher and already has a strong sense of how to foster a happy classroom culture.. The John Philip Couch Scholarship was created through a generous gift to the North Carolina chapter of the American Association of Teachers of French
(NC-AATF) in the will of Dr. “Phil” Couch, a longtime professor of French at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The scholarship is used to support study in France for deserving college or university students of French. The NC-AATF has created an educational endowment fund that will normally produce funds for one or more scholarships to be awarded each year. The scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students who have declared a French major and completed at least two French courses beyond the intermediate level in an accredited college or university in North Carolina.

Gaston Schools’ Career Signing Day The week before graduation, 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. American & Efird- William Bowen, Stuart W.

Gaston Together facilitates Commissioners School session On June 26th, Gaston Together facilitated a session for the “Movers and Shakers” group of the 2019 Commissioners School. Fifteen students spent the morning participating in a mini-town hall community forum. The session was held at First United Methodist Church, “Greene House” in Gastonia. Student participants represented Ashbrook, Bessemer
City, Cherryville, Stuart W. Cramer, East Gaston, Gaston Christian, Hunter Huss, North Gaston, Piedmont Charter and South Point. 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

Gaston Braves win two of three in American Legion State Tournament By Art Shoemaker The G-Braves opened play in an eight team field against teams across the state to determine an American Legion State Champion. In a Friday morning early game that started at 11:00 a.m. the Braves faced Post 10 from Wilmington. The opener for the Braves found the team in a 12-0 hole after two innings of play. The Braves battled back by scoring single runs in the second and third innings and added a three spot in the fifth frame and two additional runs in the sixth. Wilmington was held scoreless after the second but the twelve run lead by Post 10 was more than the G-Braves could overcome in losing by a final 12-7 count. The Braves actually out hit Wilmington 10-8 but committed three costly errors in the game. Wesley Hall led the Braves with a 3-4 night at the plate. Hall was followed Dosi Jonas and Jason Maggs who were both 2-3. Single hits were recorded by Zack Summerville, Preston Conner and Jayson Szot. Jacob Landis was the starting hurler for the Braves and surrendered eight runs on only three hits by Wilmington. Only one of the eight Wilmington runs was earned but walks and errors played a big part in the Braves slow start. Landis was followed by Grayson Thomas who allowed Wilmington their final four runs. Kolby Smith finished up for the Braves and was superb in his 4 2/3 innings of work. He allowed Post 10 no runs or hits, striking out three and walking two Wilmington batters. The Braves bounced back Saturday afternoon in defeating Davidson County 10-6. Davidson Co. scored two runs in the opening innings and was held scoreless until they tacked on four more in the seventh frame. The G-Braves scored a single run in the second inning and surged out front by
crossing the dish six times in the sixth inning and added three more in the seventh in winning by a final 10-6 score. Dosi Jonas led the way on offense as he enjoyed a 4-5 night. Jayson Szot followed with three for four that produced three RBI’s. Zack Summerville was 3-5 with an RBI. Luke Bumgarner continued his outstanding work at bat with a 2-3 night with one of his hits a long home run. Single hits were added by Wesley Hall, Preston Conner and Jordan Lathe. Cameron Cook started on the hill for the Braves and pitched well for five innings. Cook surrendered three hits and one earned run in picking up the win. Jayson Szot and Zack Summerville finished up on the mound for the Braves. In the final game for the Braves in the state tourney the Braves faced FuquayVarina in a Sunday game. In a back and forth battle the GBraves pulled out a 8-7 win that went ten innings. The Braves needed two runs in the scheduled seven inning affair to tie the score. The Braves responded and the game was knotted seven all as extra innings were needed for a Braves victory. In the top half of the tenth the Braves put two runs on the board and held on for the win as Fuquay-Varina made the game close by scoring a run in the bottom half of the tenth. Wesley Hall was 3-5 on the day with the bat and accounted for two RBI’s. Jayson Szot and Jason Maggs were two for five in the game. Szot and Maggs both had key hits in the tenth frame that produced RBI’s. Zack Summerville added two hits for the Braves with single hits each by Dosi Jonas, Preston Conner, Luke Bumgarner, Jordan Lathe and Carter Merrill. Shortstop Preston Conner was outstanding defensively in the game, stopping rallies by our opponent with terrific glove work in several

Hunter Robinson was the starting pitcher for the Braves and pitched well for five innings. Jacob Landis came on in relief and was outstanding. He allowed only two runs in five innings of work. Landis recorded three strikeouts as he completed a tremendous three year career as a pitcher for the Braves. By all accounts 2019 was a very special season for the
Braves. The team finished with a 22-10 record. Approximately 65 American Legion teams across North Carolina opened play in late May. Their outstanding play in Cherryville in the state tourney placed the Braves among the top four Legion programs in North Carolina. Our local fans can take pride in how the Braves represented the Belmont, Mt. Holly, Stanley and Dallas communities with a very rewarding 2019 season.

Mt. Holly Sports Hall of Fame 2019 inductee Howard Horton By Kathy Blake The scrapbook’s paper pages are cloudy-yellow, almost brown, from age. Scotch tape secures fragile newspaper clips beside black-andwhite photos of a man who pushed hard to be an athlete, hopefully a successful one, in an era struggling with deprivation, the Depression and home-felt impact of World War II. Some pages, brittle enough they might crumble, recently were preserved in photographs – pictures of the pictures – just in case. The book recounts the journey of Howard Horton, born in 1922, the youngest of 12 children. His family had a farm in Indian Trail, then in Mount Holly in the 1930s, and “that’s what kept them all alive during the Recession was having all those kids to work the farm,” says his son, Shea Horton. “Grandma never turned anyone away or let them go hungry.” Howard Horton died in 1996 at age 74. From an era of handwritten record-keeping and newsprint scripted on manual typewriters, his family has assembled a storyline of a man who loved family, lived for football and proudly served his country in the war. It’s earned him a spot in the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame. “I’m sending articles that say my uncle was a good player. I can’t find any stats,” his niece, DeLina Furr says, in an e-mail, following his selection. The e-mail has 13 attachments. “I assume that’s OK.” Furr has the scrapbook with Gaston Gazette and Charlotte Observer stories. She has old Mount Holly High School annuals and a gold boxing buckle engraved “1940 175 lb. Champion Novice.” Two of Mr. Horton’s sisters had kept his news articles, every letter sent home during the war, and letters from Chapel Hill, when the University of North Carolina invited him to play fullback. Mr. Horton lettered in football and baseball at Mount Holly High and was All-State Honorable Mention in football and All-Conference second team in basketball. The school didn’t fund a boxing team, Shea Horton says, so Mr. Horton and his buddies formed a Golden Gloves team. He graduated high school in 1942, they think, though his ring says ’43. “There may have been a year or so when he had to help family,” Shea says. “Just help them out because times were so hard. I wish I could have had a tape recorder and let him tell the story all the way through, but…you know… wishful thinking.” “He had a great, loving family but no money to send him to college,” Furr says. “They made sure he was in school, but they didn’t know about the ballgames or get-
Howard Horton ting uniforms. He did that all by himself. He just went to school, and he loved sports. He had an older brother – they called him Dizzy, after Dizzy Dean – and he and Howard would play in the neighborhood, and when Howard got into high school he would play basketball and box, but it was the football, especially. “I know Pearl Harbor interrupted his life.” Mr. Horton joined the Army after graduation, Furr says, and saw action in Germany. “He was in Central Europe, at the last of the battles,” she says. “We didn’t really know the extent of this, but he played football overseas while he was there. They had organized teams, for recreation. He would play in Monte Carlo and other places. It was toward the end of the war, and he had a good time.” Shea says the athletic director at Carolina heard of Mr. Horton’s skills and got word to him to talk about playing football in Chapel Hill when he returned from overseas. “I think the A.D. had some contact here in Mount Holly,” Shea says, “and everybody knew Daddy was playing football. Wordof-mouth says how good he was. And they found out he was playing in the Army. The guys would come off the front lines and, to have something to do, go watch a ballgame, when the war started to wind down some. They’d fly the football players on a plane to where they’d play. He’d play in thunder and lightning. He didn’t car. He loved it.” Mr. Horton played in the UNC backfield alongside first-team All-American halfback Charlie ‘Choo-Choo’ Justice, who finished second in 1948 in voting for the Heisman Trophy. That 1948 team went 9-0-1 and was ranked No. 3 when they played in the Sugar Bowl in New Or-
leans on Jan. 1, 1949, against No. 5 Oklahoma. They lost 14-6. “I’ve got the ticket, and a picture of him boarding the plane,” Shea says. “He said when Choo-Choo would run, people couldn’t tackle him. Daddy said he was a good player.” Mr. Horton stayed two years at Carolina before coming home to take care of his Picture from The Yakety Yak, UNC’s yearbook in 1948.

And I think that’s a credit to him to do all that in that time period,” Furr says. “I was raised in Knoxville and I would come down every summer and when I graduated (from Tennessee) and I came to live here, and I got to know him as a young adult. Howard pretty much taught me the game of football. We would watch with him, and that’s how I learned.” Shea Horton says he’s glad his dad made the Hall of Fame because, even without photographs of statistics, or cdc.gov/RxAwareness a wall of trophies, there was an unbreakable love for the game. “There’s been a lot of

2019 RACE SCHEDULE & WINNER UPDATES
In 1941, $4,075.00 could buy a new house. A new car cost $850, and gasoline was 12 cents a gallon. In Mount Holly, the Piedmont and Northern Railway passed through this small town of 2,055 on its way from Charlotte to Gastonia, rumbling by the PepsiCola sign painted on A.P. Rhyne’s corner office on Main Street. At Mount Holly High School, the football team was making history, game by game, unaware that for many players, the world was about to change. Coached by A.S. Holt, Jr. and L.C. Ward, the 1941 Hawks went 8-0, outscoring their opponents by a total of 167-13. Twenty-three days after their last game, a 35-0 victory over Belmont on Nov. 14, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service bombed Pearl Harbor, pulling the United States into World War II. Team members were faced with life choices that outweighed football strategies and a high school education. For their efforts on the field, and for what several did beyond football, the 1941 Hawks are being inducted into the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame. “Many are patriots, who left school within a few months after the football season ended to volunteer for the Armed Forces,” says Hall of Fame committee member Gary Neely. “Many players from the war years joined the war effort as they came of age. Some returned to complete high school and their football careers after the war ended in 1945. It was not unusual to see 20-year-olds playing high school football in the post-war years. “They later became part of the Greatest Generation. That is another reason why
we are honoring the undefeated 1941 team as part of the 2019 induction class. They earned the honor.” The team was one of three in North Carolina that year that never lost and never tied. A 1946 Mount Holly High yearbook lists the team members under the word SQUAD. Not “team,” or “players,” but SQUAD, like a gang of 27 young men on a mission. Guilford Huitt, Jr., Gene Painter and Bill Hunsuck are listed as managers. The team sponsor is written as Mr. Costner. Players were Arthur Davis, Boyd Arndt, Paul Harkey, Ross McConnell, Pete Johnson, Lee Campbell, Hugh Mullis, Jimmy Dellinger, Ralph Williams, Joe Bailes, Fred Gantt, Harry Gannt, James Cherry, Wayne Huffstetler, Marion Fletcher, Bill Stowe, Paul Springs, Gwyne Baker, Boyce Wells, Melvin Smith, C.B. Hayes, Coyte Wilson, Howard Horton, George Fincher, Billy Cashion, Craig Lawing and Billy McCorkle. They took on Taylorsville, Cramerton, Oakhurst, Maiden, Tech High, the Abbey Ramblers and Monroe before that final showing at Belmont. Only two opponents were able to score on the Hawks – in a 19-6 game with Oakhurst and13-7 game with Monroe. Their success put them on the pages of the The Gaston Daily Gazette, though not with big headlines and photos. On Saturday, October 18, they landed in a little story halfway down the fifth column of a middle page, squeezed between a theater roundup (“Badlands of Dakota” starts Wednesday!) and a story about the New York Giants, who “piled up four straight triumphs in the National Pro League but Coach Steven Owen is juggling his lineup.” The story reads:
“Mount Holly rolled up a 33-0 conquest over a heavier Maiden eleven here Friday, advancing the ball for 16 first downs to Maiden’s two. The first touchdown came in the first quarter on a little plunge by Horton, who kicked the extra point. Three touchdowns were scored in the second quarter. H. Gantt plowed through center for the first of the second quarter pay dirt, with Horton’s kick scoring the extra point. Fincher’s 35-yard pass to Hayes scored the second, with Horton again kicking the extra tally. On the next score, Fincher passed another 35 yards to Arndt for a touchdown. The extra point try failed. Dellinger took a line plunge jaunt for the final touchdown. Mount Holly gained 246 yards in rushing 46 times. Maiden garnered a bare 39 out of 21 tries. H. Gantt and Cherry were outstanding Mount Holly linemen with juniors Fincher and Horton sharing the backfield spotlight. Mount Holly meets Tech High of Charlotte there next Thursday.” No first names, no photographs, no quotes from the players or coach. George Fincher and Arthur Davis were inducted into the MHSHOF in 2008, Davis for his success in boxing with Golden Gloves; Howard Horton joins them this year. According to Neely, the ’41 squad went several directions later in life. For Coach Seaton Holt, 1941 was his 15th and final season, and he retired with a 55-28-10 record. Manager Gene Painter was a longtime pharmacist at Charlie’s Drug Store. Boyd Arndt worked at the Mount Holly Post Office for three decades, and Ross McConnell ran a local fence company. Fred Gantt and
Paul Springs worked for American & Efird; James Cherry worked for Goodwill Publishers in Gastonia; and Marion Fletcher had a Mount Holly service station. Coyt Wilson became a Los Angeles policeman. Howard Horton played football for the University of North Carolina for two years, including a trip to the January 1, 1947 Sugar Bowl against Georgia. George Fincher played in the Shrine Bowl and worked for Duke Power. Craig Lawing is said to have remained a big fan of Mount Holly High football and baseball for years after graduation, and would return to the fields to watch games and practices as long as the school existed.
