The Springwood weatherman by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Author Mark Twain has been quoted as saying “everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it”. Well, Allen Aycoth, 74, of the Springwood community near McAdenville doesn't complain that much about what the sky is doing, but he keeps a close, very close, eye on it. Aycoth is a weather spotter. He has an 8'x8' room on the back of his Bartlett Rd. house that's the nerve center of his weather watching and if need be, weather warning, activities. “I've always been interested in the weather,” he said. “But growing up, I couldn't afford to go to school to be a meteorologist.” No matter, Aycoth got his weather education by attending a number of U.S. Dept. of Commerce Skywarn weather training courses. Aycoth has put his knowledge and passion for the weather to good use. “A friend suggested I start a weather organization,” Aycoth said. “In early January, 2005, I started the Catawba Valley Weather Watch.” Aycoth says he broadcast a weather report via ham radio every night at 6pm for about a year. He also sent out messages if bad weather was coming no matter what the time of day. He still broadcasts bad weather warnings these days. In his Bartlett Rd. “weather room”, Aycoth keeps an eye on a large computer monitor that shows, among other things, weather radar images from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. Rain is indicated by purple blotches moving across a green background. A smaller computer screen also indicates weather activity. Aycoth watches them both with intensity. See WEATHERMAN page 2
Local businesses team up with Page Primary others to donate car to veteran playground gets a makeover
By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
Pack Brothers Collision Center on Wilkinson Blvd. in Belmont was the scene last Monday of a heart-warming gathering of folks and the handing over of the keys to a beautifully refurbished 2003 Cadillac to U.S. Marine Corps veteran Kirk Davis. Joining Davis at the event were Pack owner Ronnie Pack, his son in law Billy Walkowiak, members of Military Order of Purple Heart Chapter 634, U.S. Congressmen Patrick McHenry and Mark Meadows, N.C. Senator Kathy Harrington, Belmont Mayor Charles Martin, Cramerton Mayor Will Cauthen and assorted other officials. The whole affair revolved around the difficult life circumstances Davis, who served eight years in the Marines, has been having and how concerned citizens rallied together in a common cause to help him. See DONATED CAR page 3
By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com Page Primary School in Belmont had some serious water drainage and aesthetic issues, but thanks to a group of Duke Energy Allen Steam Station and other volunteers, those problems are solved. Last Friday around 15 or so vols showed up at Page bright and early. They were armed with rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, a pressure washer and a couple of tractors. After a hard day of work in the broiling sun, the playground was transformed into a safe and nice looking plot. Not only that, but the front of the school got a much needed cleaning. Duke Energy employee Adam Toney explained. “The principal, Bill Kessler, told us the playground would have large puddles after a rain and sometimes they were so bad the kids could not use it,” Toney said. “The new Page PTO U.S. Marines veteran Kirk Davis (right) and Ronnie Pack shake hands in front project, Martha Carter, is a former Duke employee and she of the Cadillac presented to Davis last Monday. Seen with the pair are Billy helped coordinate the job to fix the playground's problems. Walkowiak, Steve Lawing, Larry Rick, and Mike Stubbs. See PLAYGROUND page 4 Photo by Alan Hodge

On shelves next to the computer screens, Aycoth has an array of ham radios and microphones that he uses to communicate with other weather spotters and such. His home has so many antennas on and around it that it looks like a government radar facility. To help get his messages out, Aycoth can contact what he calls a “repeater” on Crowders Mtn. “The repeater relays the message to other radio operators further away,” he says. Besides talking to other weather spotters, Aycoth says he chats on his radios with people from as far away as Australia and England. His call sign is KI4JSM. “I spend a lot of time in the room,” he said. “Especially if it's stormy.” After a storm, or sometimes even while one is going on, Aycoth ventures out and videos the damage. He sends the images to TV
Channel 36, the National Weather Center, and the Weather Channel. Currently, Aycoth is part of a group called the Blue Ridge Skywarn Weather Watch. Other group members include Charles Garrison, Tony Jones, Tony Robinson, Dwayne Goins, Fred Clemmer, and Paul Crawford. The organization has a website www.thebrww.org with lots of weather and other information on it. There's also an application on the site if anyone is interested in joining. Why does Aycoth spend hours and hours scanning the sky? “I want to help people and alert them of severe weather so they can protect their property and lives,” he says. Want to learn more about the Blue Ridge Skywarn Weather Watch or talk weather with Aycoth? Here's his contact information- 704765-8012 or cell 704-964-4686.

Help Mount Holly win a $25K grant to build a Veterans Healing Garden Did you know that thousands of veterans - young and old - live with symptoms of combat stress, PTSD (1 in 3 affected), and other mental health issues? Did you know that an average of 20 veterans die each day by suicide? Research shows that spending time in outdoor retreat settings provides rejuvenation to heal brokenness into wholeness. Help Mount Holly win a $25,000 grant from State Farm Neighborhood Assist® by voting for the Mount Holly Veterans Garden Project between August 15 and August 24. As part of the overall programming for the new Farmers Market Venue, the Veterans Healing Garden will serve as the terminus connecting the existing Veterans Park with the Farmers Market. The central location of garden will convey strong support to our veterans and their families. The funds will allow the community to retain the services of world-renowned topiary gardener, Pearl Fryar, who has already agreed to train the veterans on garden care. Pearl, a veteran himself, is passionate about helping veterans and their families find purpose in serving their community. Help us provide a calm and serene atmosphere for veterans and their families. Anyone over 18 with a valid email address can vote for this project each day of the contest (up to ten times) by visiting this website: https://www.neighborhoodassist.com/entry/2011

DONATED CAR from page 1
Briefly stated, Davis lost his wife to cancer four years ago after a long battle that left him in dire financial straits due to medical bills. Davis lost his home due to foreclosure. His beloved pets passed away. He lived in his car for a while. In April he moved into a single wide trailer in Denver. He has heart and knee problems as well as a bad back. The ball got rolling for the Cadillac donation when Walkowiak contacted the Veterans Administration asking if they had a candidate for the Cadillac that Pack had refurU.S. Congressman Patrick McHenry (right) presents the Cadillac keys to Kirk Davis as Ronnie bished. The VBA suggested Pack and Billy Walkowiak look on. Photo by Alan Hodge Davis who has a service dog
and needed a vehicle with air conditioning (the AC in his older car was kaput). The Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 634 got involved after its commander Mike Stubbs met Davis at a Mecklenburg County Veterans Council gathering. The key exchange ceremony was one where patriotism was very much in evidence. Pack delivered a touching opening prayer. “Father we are gathered here today to honor one of our veterans who signed a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount up to and including his life,” Pack said. ”We are honored to have this veteran here today to give him a token of gratitude for his service. We also want to recognize all veterans who have served and died for this great land.” Davis, 57, was quietly bowled over by the proceedings. “This is awesome and overwhelming,” Davis said. “I am very appreciative.” Stubbs thanked those who made it happen. “This car is going to a deserving veteran,” he said. “We are grateful to Pack and Walkowiak for helping make it possible.” Walkowiak, founder and CEO of Collision Safety Consultants International, said he was always looking for ways to do good things for the local community. The event wrapped up after McHenry handed Davis the keys to the Caddy and he got a chance to try it out for size. “This is great!” Davis said. Other local businesses
that contributed to making the event a success were J&J Upholstery, Sammy’s Pub, and Stanley Towing. An anonymous donor made the car available to begin with. Pack will pay insurance for a year on the car, Walkowiak will pick up the tax, title, and inspection tab for three years. Chartered by Congress in 1958, The Military Order of the Purple Heart is composed of military men and women who received the Purple Heart Medal for wounds suffered in combat. Although our membership is restricted to the combat wounded, we support all veterans and their families with a myriad of nation-wide programs by Chapters and National Service Officers. The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration. The organization now known as the “Military Order of the Purple Heart,” was formed in 1932 for the protection and mutual interest of all who have received the decoration. Composed exclusively of Purple Heart recipients, it is the only veterans service organization comprised strictly of “combat” veterans. Wives, mothers, daughters and adopted daughters of Purple Heart recipients are eligible to belong to the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, which also does important work nationally and locally in veterans’ hospitals.

He also used his tractor to spread mulch. “I'm always glad to help out in the community any way I can,” said Foulk. Page principal Kessler was pumped at how the new playground turned out. “I am totally excited,” he said. “I am thankful to Duke Energy and the parents and other volunteers who helped make the playground better for the kids.” Duke Energy chipped in $3,700 for mulch and another $1,300 for other costs related to the project.

Give me this mountain! Do you have a vision for your future? Perhaps you have a future plan for your career, or what you would like to see you and your family become. Proverbs 29:18 reminds us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). One thing is for sure, everyone needs something to look forward to. Some of the most hopeless people we encounter are those who have no future ahead of them, or reason to keep going. Do you know that God has a vision for you? God has a vision, a purpose for all of us. Joshua 14:6-14 recalls the story of Caleb, and his mountain. Caleb, Joshua, and ten other men were called by Moses at God’s command to go and spy out the Promised Land as they prepared to enter it. As the men returned, they gave a report of what they saw to Moses and the people. Ten of the men gave a grim report. They spoke of fortified cities, and giant-like men who occupied the land. Caleb and Joshua gave a good report, telling the people that God would help them conquer the Promised Land.
Unfortunately the people followed the ten and rebelled. Due to their sin, God caused them to wander in the wilderness forty years. Only Joshua and Caleb were allowed by God to enter in. After some time, Caleb came to Joshua and reminded him that God had promised him the land he had explored for an inheritance, because of his faithfulness. He was now eighty-five years old, and the land was full of enemies, yet God delivered the mountain to him as He promised. God had given Caleb a vision, a mountain of promise. Caleb fulfilled God’s vision for his life. Just like Caleb, God has a vision for each of us. It may take a lifetime of faithfulness to accomplish. Caleb had to wait forty-five years to claim the mountain God had promised him. Realizing God’s vision for you will take trust and faith. Also, you must not let fear stop you. Caleb was surely scared of fighting giants at eighty-five years old, yet with the help of God he prevailed. God will walk with
you through this life too. God will never call you, without walking with you, always. It is never too late Rev. Trent Rankin to fulfill God’s Salvation Church vision for you. Gastonia, NC You may be aged salvationchurchnc.org like Caleb, or salvationchurchnc@gmail.com young, regardless God can work through you. No matter where you are from, or what you have done, God can accomplish great things through you. The Bible is full of broken people who God used to do awesome things! If you feel God calling you, if He has placed His vision on your heart, then go, step out on faith and realize God’s plan for you. Caleb said that day, “Now therefore give me this mountain” (Joshua 14:12, KJV). What mountain does God have for you? Like Caleb, it is time to claim it!
It has been a year since the Char- Rev. Angela Pleasants lottesville, Virginia race rally. As a District result, we hear more in the news and Superintendent our communities about race rela- of Catawba Valley tions. On one side we hear the cries Methodist Churches of racial purity from Neo-Nazi groups while on the other hand, we hear the cries of acceptance of all. It is sad that someone can look at the creation of God and be filled with hate over skin color or national origin. What is even more disturbing, children learn this behavior from adults. Children are not born racist. The practice and attitude are taught to them. The world has always experienced a race problem. As long as sin persists in our society, there will be a race problem. But, what about in the church? As a black American, I have been told, “Why are you here? There are no blacks here.” There have been times some did not want to touch my skin. And, yes I have heard the “N” word used about me. Do you know what’s heartbreaking about this? It happened in the church. Yes, as the church in 2018 we are still segregated and experiencing disproportionate minority leadership. I challenge the church today to take the lead in healing and reconciliation. “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. For in him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:26, 28a NIV. God designed for all nations, humans he made in his image, to cover the earth in a beautiful, diverse patchwork and seek him. We don’t have a race problem; we have a sin problem. When we put one race above another race, we make race an idol. When we bring glory to ourselves and treasure it more than God, we sin. All of humanity comes from one source, God. “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.” Ephesians 2: 14, 15b-16 NIV. Jesus blood is an instrument of reconciliation. He brought believing Jews and Gentiles together as one. Likewise, Jesus brings us together as one. Let the church repent of our sin problem. Let us live in our call and identity in Jesus Christ as barrier destroyers. When I received my DNA results, I was dismayed at first to learn I was thirteen different ethnicity. My top three are West African Cote D’Ivoire, Western European and Togo. Now I celebrate my heritage as a creation of God. We are all a part of each other. But, more important we are a part of the body of Christ. What steps will you take to be a barrier destroyer?

Kastner Bible on display at Gaston Museum of Art and History The Kastner Family Bible will be on display at the Gaston Museum of Art and History, Dallas, through August 18, 2018. This display will feature a spectacular 452-year-old German bible. Each year, the museum exhibits the Kastner (Rhyne) family bible for three weeks in August. This exhibit coincides with the local and national Rhyne and Costner Family Reunions. To aid in its preservation, and keep up interest, a different page containing a woodcut illustration is exhibited. This year it will be an illustration from the 19th Chapter of Genesis – Sodom and Gomorrah. Various prints from the bible are available for sale in the Museum Gift Shop. The Kastner (Rhyne) family bible is a German language bible printed c. 1564. It is a corrected version of Martin Luther’s first translation of the bible into German. Adam Kastner brought the bible to America in 1745. The Kastner family intermarried with the Rhyne family The Belmont Parks and Recreation Gadabouts senior citizens group took a recent jaunt to the of this area and the bible was handed down through the Rhyne family until it was donated to James K. Polk Historic Site near Pineville. Polk was the 11th President of the United States. the Gaston County Museum. There are over 730 pages in the bible and a woodcut illustration Neal Winslow photo appears about every seven pages, on average. The woodcuts include full illustrations as well as decorative scrollwork and other accents. Some illustrations are duplicates. Woodcuts which depict general scenes such as war, debauchery, plague, or angels were reused by the publisher rather than having new ones made. Gaston Museum photo

Asheville native Thomas Wolfe is best known for his novels but wrote many short stories as well. In anticipation of the 118th October birthday celebration for Wolfe, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial invites students and teachers to participate in the 2018 “Telling Our Stories” Student Writing Competition. Entries can be accepted now through Saturday, Oct. 6. Students must submit their own work of fiction inspired by Thomas Wolfe’s story “No Cure for It.” The story was published in 1941 three years after Wolfe’s death in a collection of short stories titled “The Hills Beyond.” The story returns to the life of “Look Homeward Angel” character Eugene Gant whose concerned mother summons a doctor to examine the alarmingly awkward and extremely tall seven-years-old. First, second, and third place winners will be chosen from three age groups: grades four to five, six to eight, and nine to 12. Submissions may be hand delivered, postmarked or emailed by 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6. Winners will be invited to present their stories and accept their awards at a program at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial’s
Thomas Wolfe visitor center at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27. Cash awards are given in each age group. Find the story, competition guidelines, submission form and ideas on website on the Thomas Wolfe Memorial website at http://wolfememorial.com/for-teachers/student-writing-contest/.

It is part of the Division of State Historic Sites within the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
NCDA encourages horse owners to vaccinate against EEE The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services recently confirmed a sixth positive case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis for 2018. In the last month there have been confirmed cases in Richmond, Onslow, Duplin, Craven and Carteret counties. In all cases, the equines had no records of vaccinations or were not vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian. “Last year we didn’t reach six cases of EEE in the state until October,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “The excess rain this year, or just an increase in mosquito population, could be attributing to the early onset of cases. “EEE is a mosquito-borne disease that causes inflammation or swelling of the brain and spinal cord in equine and is usually fatal,” he said. “The disease is preventable by vac-
cination. If you haven’t already vaccinated your horses, mules and donkeys, contact your veterinarian to make sure your animals are protected.” Symptoms of EEE include impaired vision, aimless wandering, head pressing, circling, inability to swallow, irregular staggering gait, paralysis, convulsions and death. Once a horse has been bitten by an infected mosquito, it may take three to 10 days for symptoms to appear. If your horses or other equine animals exhibit any symptoms of EEE, contact your veterinarian immediately. People, horses and birds can become infected from a bite by a mosquito carrying the diseases, but there is no evidence that horses can transmit the viruses to other horses, birds or people through direct contact.

Therapeutic Massage Spa Specialist offered at Gaston College The Gaston College Therapeutic Massage program has added a new track toward earning a Spa Specialist diploma. Massage therapy is a popular treatment for health and wellness or for relaxation and stress reduction. Surveys indicate that almost 25 percent of adult Americans had at least one massage between July 2016 and July 2017, and that they got their massages most often at a massage therapist’s office or location, or at a spa. The Spa Specialist diploma track includes coursework from the Therapeutic Massage diploma curriculum as well as the Esthetics Technology certificate curriculum. Through the combination of this coursework, graduates of the program will have additional employable skills in the spa setting. In addition to qualifying graduates for opportunities with spas and health or sports clubs, this diploma prepares them for employment in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, health departments, home health, medical offices, nursing homes, and private practice. After completing the Therapeutic Massage curriculum, graduates will be prepared to work in direct client care settings to provide manipulation, methodical pressure, friction, and kneading of the body for maintaining wellness or treating alterations in wellness throughout the lifespan. Courses in this curriculum include content in normal human anatomy and physiology, therapeutic massage, ethical and legal issues, business practices, nutrition, and psychology. Those who graduate with the Therapeutic Massage-Spa Specialist Diploma may be eligible to take the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam. Upon passing the exam, candidates may apply for a North Carolina State License for Massage and Bodywork; licensure is mandatory to practice massage in North Carolina. Students applying for admission to the Gaston College Therapeutic Massage program must meet all Gaston College general admission requirements. Registration for the fall 2018 semester is now open and classes start on August 20. For information about the Therapeutic Massage program, visit https://www.gaston.edu/health-human-services/therapeuticmassage-2/, or contact Monica Phillips at 704-922-2270 or phillips.monica@gaston.edu.

Welcome back to the 2018-2019 school year at Gaston Day Dr. Richard Rankin Headmaster
The 50th Anniversary Capital Campaign has accomplished so much here this summer, and I want to share all of the good news! Let’s start, though, with projects that were completed last summer but are just as important. Last summer we painted throughout all of our buildings, replaced ceiling tiles, purchased a new integrated software operating system, and bought two new buses, thanks to the generosity of our very earliest capital campaign donors. Thank you! This summer, the pace and scale of renovations and improvements has zoomed.
The first thing you will notice are the beautiful new windows throughout the school. They really do make the William S. Henry Family Academic Center look much newer and more modern, and we expect a big improvement in the comfort of our classrooms (not to mention the cost savings!) Thanks to the Kimbrell Family Foundation, we have a new lower school playground and small soccer field which will be completed soon. The playground will be named in honor of Mrs. W. Duke “Dot� Kimbrell, mother of two Gaston Day graduates, grandmother of two Gaston Day graduates, and one of the first presidents of the Parents Association.

The W. Duke Kimbrell Classroom Building (5th and 6th Grade Classroom Building) has benefited from renovated restrooms and cosmetic upgrades this summer. The renovations also included a major improvement in drainage to prevent any future flooding in that building. The final renovation, and one of the most exciting, is the creation of the new biology, chemistry and science prep labs and a new Idea Lab. These state-of-the- art labs will elevate our science and technology programs, and the Idea Lab will promote all kinds of creative, hands-on learning. We are so grateful to the following donors who have made these new science facilities possible: the Wil-

National Night Out draws nice crowd By John Wilson Last Wednesday evening, city officials along with officers and deputies from the Belmont PD and Gaston County Sheriff’s Department pulled out all the stops to support the 2018 National Night Out program. National Night Out has been held annually since 1984, and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in the United States and Canada. National Night Out began simply with neighbors turning on their porch lights and sitting in front of their homes. In time the outing provided local law enforcement officers across the country a great opportunity to reach out to the citizens that they serve.

In 2016 over 38 million residents in 16,000 communities across the United States

The Belmont city council recently approved a lease agreement with Norfolk Southern to add approximately 35 public parking spaces on the west side of Main Street, beside the South Point Pet Hospital. The lot will run from Main Street to the wall. The lot is closed while public works staff is cleaning this area up and putting down new gravel and concrete curb stops. The City hopes to have this new public parking lot open by the end of August. City of Belmont photo
participated. This year’s event, coordinated by Sergeant A. Buchanon drew about 200 people to Stowe Park. The atmosphere was laid-back and light-hearted as police employees and volunteers served hot dogs and drinks to hungry visitors. There was even a cotton candy machine running at full tilt for those with a sweet tooth. Public safety mascots Sparky the Fire Dog, along with McGruff the Crime Dog, and the Chick-fil-A cow roamed the park and entertained the kids. In addition to the mascots there was also a small army of clowns on hand. The clowns amazed the little ones with balloon animals and all around playful shenanigans. The ever popular dunking booth was also set up to give people a few laughs. This year, Captain Joe Quinn and Lieutenant Boyce “Corky” Falls were the volunteers. Falls and Quinn laughed it up with the crowd as people of all ages threw softballs in an attempt to send the officers plunging into the water. The atmosphere at Stowe Park was so relaxed that many of the Belmont officers even brought their children and grandchildren out to have a little bit of fun and meet new people. As the evening winded down a casual glance across the park confirmed that everybody had a good time.

Gaston Schools Nutrition information Good nutrition is a key component of student success and achievement in the classroom. Consequently, the goal of the School Nutrition Department is to provide appealing, nutritious, healthy, and well-balanced meals to our students daily. Our customers may choose from a variety of entrees, whole grain-rich foods, fruits, vegetables, and one-percent or skim milk. This variety is essential to properly supply our students’ many nutrient needs. Fresh fruit is available daily, and seasonal purchases of locally grown produce are coordinated through the N.C. Department of Agriculture and GAP certified farmers. Nutritional information for all menu items is available from the Cafeteria Manager, School Nurse, or School Nutrition office. Breakfast and lunch programs are offered at all schools. During the 2017-2018 school year, more than 1.5 million breakfasts and 3.7 million lunches were served in our school cafeterias. Meals served in school cafeterias must meet menu patterns and rigorous nutritional specifications established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. However, if your child has been determined by a physician to be handicapped, and the handicap would prevent your child from eating the regular school meal, then School Nutrition will make any substitutions prescribed by your doctor. If a substitution is needed, there will be no extra charge for the meal. However substitutions and modifications to the menu are not available for personal, cultural, or religious preferences. Please contact the School Nutrition Office at (704) 836-9110 for further information. School Lunch Prices: ELEMENTARY Breakfast $1.20 Lunch $2.70 Elementary Reduced $.40 MIDDLE SCHOOL Breakfast $1.20 Lunch $2.80 Middle School Reduced 40¢ HIGH SCHOOL Breakfast $1.20 Lunch $2.80 High School Reduced 40¢ SCHOOL STAFF Breakfast $1.50 Lunch $3.75 ADULT GUEST Breakfast $1.50 Lunch $3.75 Students with Special Diet Needs Students with medical conditions such as allergies and diabetes may request modification to school meals by completing a Diet Order form. Parents may obtain a Diet Order application from the cafeteria manager, school nurse or School Nutrition office. The form must be signed by a physician and returned to the cafeteria manager or sent to the GCS School Nutrition Office, 500 Reid Street, Lowell, NC 28098. For more information, contact your school principal or call the GCS School Nutrition Office at (704) 836-9110. Free and Reduced Lunches All students enrolled in the Gaston County Schools are given an opportunity to apply for free or reduced price breakfast and lunch. To apply, a parent or guardian must complete and sign a Free and Reduced Price Meal application form. The form must be submitted each year. Only one application per household is necessary. Eligibility for free and reduced price meals is based on household income and number of people in the household. Applications are available from the cafeteria manager, school office and the School Nutrition office. Contact Angela Calamia Director of School Nutrition arcalamia@gaston.k12.nc.us 704.836.9110.

Gaston Christian School welcomes students back Dr. Marc Stout Head of School
Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! In just one week we will open the doors to our wonderful students and observe the excitement they will show as they enter a new chapter of life. For some, Gaston Christian is a new school in a new community, due to a relocation. Please join me in praying for these families that they will feel the love of Christ from their teachers and classmates. For others, it is a new school in the same area. These families have made the
decision to transfer to Gaston Christian School; this change likewise is a big adjustment. Please remember them is prayer as well. For many, Gaston Christian School has been the only school they have known. They have lifelong friends, they refer to GCS as “my school” and they always use “we” when talking about Gaston Christian to friends and family. Our prayer is that whatever stage of relationship your family may have with the school that you will feel the love of Christ from your teachers and administrators. Our theme verse for the

2018-2019 year is taken from I John 4:11: “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” May God’s love permeate all that we do at Gaston Christian School. As you can imagine, we are very excited about our new building on campus. The M.O. Owens Jr. Worship and Fine Arts Center is named in honor of our founder, Dr. Owens. We are thankful to God that Dr. Owens, who will be turning 105 in just a
few weeks, had the vision for Gaston Christian School in 1979. However, I regret to inform you that we will not have the building completed by the first day of school. While we are very close to completion, there are still several things that must be finished before we can use the building. Furthermore, I ask for your forbearance as we want to wait until the building is complete before we make the permanent repairs to our
road. As of today, the contractors are installing the bathroom partitions; setting bathroom fixtures; running wires for the auditorium audio, visual and lighting systems; preparing the columns to be painted; planning the landscaping work; completing the electrical wiring and a myriad of other activities. In the next several days they will place ceiling tiles in classrooms and hallways, begin to install flooring, fin-
ish painting, and install the wood flooring in the dance studio. Psalm 127 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” Please pray that God would continue to build Gaston Christian School for His honor and glory, that God would use the school to transform lives for Him, that parents, students, teachers and friends of the school will be blessed by being here.
