Mack Drake is a proud member of the Greatest Generation

by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Former U.S. Marine and WWII veteran Mack Drake, 92, is a proud member of what's often called the Greatest Generation and has the medals, lots of them, to prove it.

A native of Hendersonville who moved to Belmont with his family at an early age, Drake currently spends his time with wife of 37 years Joann in a quiet neighborhood near Cramerton.

This is fitting as he had enough excitement, danger, and brushes with death from July 1942 to September 1945 to last several lifetimes.

Drake joined the Marines at the tender age of sixteen.

“My father told me I could join or go work in a hosiery mill,” Drake recalled. “I didn't want to go to the mill.”

Once he signed up as a Marine, Drake's life picked up speed and distance. Drake trained at Parris Island, S.C., Camp Lejeune in N.C., San Diego, California., and Camp Pendleton, also in California.

After training he and his unit boarded a ship and sailed to New Zealand. After a spell among the Kiwis, Drake and his fellow Marines found themselves on the Pacific Is-

land of Guadalcanal that had been recently captured after vicious fighting.

November 1, 1943 marked Drake's baptism under fire on the island of Bougainville.

“I had no sooner got on the beach than I saw five dead Marines,” he said. “My stomach turned cold.”

Barry Lockman transforms local clay into objects of beauty

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Barry Lockman is a magician of sorts, but instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, he pulls good old Piedmont North Carolina clay out of the earth and turns it into incredibly beautiful pieces of pottery.

Lockman, 77, lives near Dallas in a tidy cottage, but it's in his pottery shop outbuildings that his soul resides.

“I make pottery because it's my passion,” he says.

“It's almost an addiction.”

Lockman's love of pottery goes back to the 1970s.

“I retired from a variety of government jobs and pretty much make pottery full time,” he said.

According to Lockman, he gets his raw clay straight from Mother Earth.

“I dig it out of an embankment near Iron Station,” he said. “It's near where I was born.”

Besides the clay, he sources other pottery making materials from a variety of local spots. That includes

This summer, the Stanley Middle School campus has become a study in contrasts.

One the one hand, the new school building gleams like a diamond in the sun.

On the other hand, the decades old former Stanley Middle building is a heap of dusty rubble.

The whole idea behind the scene is the transformation of the old site to a new and modern athletic field complex.

According to Stanley Middle principal Rebecca Huffstetler, the bulldozers and workers started the demolition in mid-June.

“They have been really moving on it,” she said.

The old school will be donating it's organs- so to speak.

“It's neat to watch how the workers are making separate piles of bricks and metal and other materials that will be reused,” Huffstetler said. “It's nice to

“I like down to earth tones,” he says of the colors.

To glaze his works, Lockman uses crushed minerals and salt- lots of salt- in a style similar to what our area's first pioneers employed.

The glaze has hints of tans, browns, blues, and greens.

“Salt glazing goes back to Germany in the 1600s,” said Lockman.

After he “throws” a piecethrow is a term meaning making a pot on a wheelLockman lets it air dry on racks in a shed. After the air drying is done and the glaze applied, Lockman loads the collected pieces for firing into a kiln he made himself.

The kiln is made of bricks, about the size of a large refrigerator, and is fueled with diesel oil and wood.

“The kiln can reach temperatures of up to 2,400F,” says Lockman. “I load from 225 to 350 pieces and fire twice a year.”

Lockman's finished products are mostly utilitarian in nature- jugs, bowls, saucers, mugs- is a style that our colonial ancestors would have had in their homes- and have a simple elegance.

“I want people to use them,” he says.

Lockman's not sure how many pieces he's made in his pottery career, but knows it's in the thousands. His stuff is for sale at reasonable prices.

Lockman enjoys sharing his love of art in general and pottery in particular. He's a member of the Catawba River Art Guild, and volunteers at the Southern Arts Society in Kings Mt. and Arts on Main in Estonian.

He's also displayed his work at the Belmont Historical Society and at the gazebo in

Drake was involved in heavy fighting and dispatched several Japanese soldiers during the battles on Bougainville.

After the island was secure, Drake was sent back to Guadalcanal but the next battle, Guam in July 1944, came soon enough.

“The Japs made a banzai attack and I was wounded in the face by a grenade,” said Drake.

During the Guam fight, Drake earned his first of two Purple Hearts as well as the Silver Star for bravely holding a ridge single handed.

Several months after Guam, Drake was fighting again, This time on the volcanic island of Iwo Jima.

“When we were trying to get to the beach in the landing craft one guy went crazy and started crying and carrying on,” Drake said. “I don't remember much about how the island looked as we approached,” said Drake. “Everyone was keeping their head down to avoid the mortar and machine gun fire.”

Drake and his fellow Marines hit the beach with its infamous black sand.

The sand was full of sulfur and the terrain was rough,” Drake said. “At first we could not tell where the Japs were.”

That situation changed soon enough and a month of fighting ensued until the island was secured.

“One time I fired on two Japanese and got both of them with one bullet,” Drake recalled. “It was action all time.”

But Drake's luck ran out as well.

“I was shot in the left lung and shoulder by a sniper,” he said.

After being evacuated from Iwo by ship and plane to the hospital in San Diego to recuperate from his wound, Drake was sent to Cherry Point, N.C.

where he served on guard duty for a brief period.

“While at Cherry Point we heard the atomic bomb had been dropped and the Japanese had surrendered,” he said “That was the extent of my participation in World War II.” Drake came home with his dog tags, a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, and an assortment of other campaign and victory medals. He also brought home a samurai sword he took from a Japanese officer as well as a bullet riddled Japanese scarf.

His Marine uniform is on display in the American Military Museum in Gastonia.

After the war, Drake graduated from NCSU and worked as an engineer and later a surveyor.

Drake looks back on his WWII experiences matter of factly.

'We did what we had to do,” he says.

He wonders what the current and future generations will recall about what he and other WWII veterans did in the name of freedom and democracy.

“Unless they get told about it they will forget,” he said.

Nonetheless, Drake still has strong faith in America and the will of the American people when the chips are down.

“Back then, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor everyone pulled together,” he said “I think if something like that happened today, everyone will pull together again.”

A video that Huffstetler made of the demolition crews in action and posted on Facebook got a lot of attention.

“It had over twenty thousand views,” she said.

The athletic fields that will sprout from the old school’s footprint are going to be nice.

“There will be a football and soccer field with bleachers and a running track around it,” Huffstetler said.

“There will also be a baseball and softball diamond as well as a concession stand, restrooms, and a field house.”

The goal is to have the athletic fields and facilities construction done by late fall or early winter 2018 and,

after the grass grows and gets established, ready for play in the fall of 2019.

“Getting the fields ready will be weather dependent,” said Huffstetler.

While the new fields are being built, Stanley Middle athletes will be utilizing local facilities and fields. Football practice will be at Kiser Elementary, softball at Springfield Elementary, football home games and track practice will be at East Gaston High, softball, soccer, and baseball at North Belmont Park. Outdoor physical education events will be held at Town Stanley Middle School principal Rebecca Huffstetler is seen on the site where the former school building once of Stanley’s Harper Park. stood and new athletic fields will be built.

As far as indoor sports like volleyball, they won’t be impacted by the construction project since the new Stanley Middle building has a beautiful gym.

Huffstetler says it’s been emotional seeing the old building go down, but knows there is a bright side.

“There were a lot of memories made in that building,” she said. “But even if it’s gone they will still live on in hearts and minds.”

On Saturday, July 28th the Gastonia Civil Air Patrol Squadron participated in a statewide SAREX (search and rescue exercise). Civil Air Patrol holds such exercises twice a year to provide members with real-time practice in carrying out the various missions that the organization is tasked with. This type of exercise is vital for preparing the members, both adults and cadets, to execute with precision and accuracy when called upon.

Squadrons across North Carolina simulated various scenarios – from hurricane disaster relief to search and rescue. For the Gastonia Squadron, the mission was to locate an adult who had wandered away from an assisted living center. Once the order to deploy was received by the Squadron Commander, seven cadets and six senior members assembled were briefed and traveled to the search location.

After assessment of the field conditions, the members were divided into teams and search operations began. Using a line searching technique, the team located the missing man in a wooded area beyond the facility in just under one hour. The part of the missing man was played by the Commander of the Shelby Squadron, Lt. Mark Motto.

Nationally, Civil Air Patrol conducts 90% of inland search and rescue as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and other agencies with nearly 33,000 emergency responders trained to FEMA standards. Civil Air Patrol is credited with saving 110 lives through search and rescue efforts in 2017. Ongoing training efforts ensure that the organization will be ready to respond effectively when needed.

Meditations Learn to be content God often allows the small conversations to teach us great lessons. I woke up Thursday morning to dense fog over Charlotte and Gastonia. I thought, “Another bad hair day.” Mid-morning I took a trip to the farmer’s market to get some veggies for dinner. I engaged in a conversation with one of the vendors. She said, “Your hair is so beautiful.” I mumbled, “Thank you, but it’s a bad hair day for me.” She looked me full in the face and shared her story. “My dear, you have hair and a lot of it. But, I do as well. Yes, it is a wig, but it’s still my hair for I paid for it. You see, I had cancer three times.

But, praise God I am still here.” She proceeded to tell me how she battled cancer. I noticed she was never bitter or questioned, “Why me?” Instead of looking at what she no longer possessed, she focused on what she had and her relationship with God. This beautiful woman of God gave a testimony that transformed my heart. Like Paul, she knew contentment. “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” Philippians 4:11b-12 NIV. We often base our contentment in life on our circumstances. If things are going well with a good hair day, money in the bank, and good friends then we are content. But, what happens when we get that unexpected news from the doctor, or we are laid off, and there is trouble in the home. Often we slip into despair.

We must be careful how we come alongside others in the midst of their crisis. We have good intentions, but sometimes our words can do more harm. We engage in Christianize language, “You just need to pray harder” or “You need more faith.” No, sometimes life is just not fair. We are not immune from trials and hardship. But, there is a way we can live through it.

Paul is not writing this letter from his Easy Boy chair with a cup of coffee on the side. He was under house arrest in Rome waiting to hear his fate. The Philippians showed their concern and support to Paul by sending gifts. Although Paul was appreciative of their offerings, he wanted them to learn a lesson. His joy did not depend on the alleviation of his physical discomfort. Paul teaches that God supplies the needs of his people by giving what we need to cope WITH the hardship.

Content means to be self-sufficient and completely detached from circumstances. Paul learned godly contentment by moving from self-sufficiency to Christ-sufficiency. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Rev. Angela Pleasants Philippians 4:13 NIV. District The goal is not to be content with Superintendent our circumstances but in the midst of of Catawba Valley our circumstances. Godly contentment Methodist Churches only comes through continually walking with the Lord daily. Yes, it is painful at times and tedious. But, we are promised, “God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 NIV.

Not my will, but Yours be done Do you remember when you were a kid, and you had a certain present you wanted for Christmas? You probably told your parents, maybe Santa as well. Rev. Trent Rankin You were so excited at the prospects Salvation Church of receiving that gift. Christmas finally Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org came, and when you opened that box, salvationchurchnc@gmail.com there sat a new set of clothes. You were so disappointed and upset. This is how we react to God too many times as we seek things from Him, yet we are disappointed with His answers.

2 Kings 5:1-15 recalls the story of Naaman, a Syrian general. Naaman was a great leader, yet he was also a leper.

Leprosy was a dreaded disease in that day, as today, and he desperately wanted to be healed. He heard through his wife’s servant, who was from Israel, that the prophet Elisha in Samaria could heal him. He asked the Syrian king if he could go to Israel and seek Elisha. After first seeing the king of Israel, Elisha called for him to come and see him. When Naaman arrived at Elisha’s house, he sent out his servant who told Naaman to go wash in the Jordan River seven times. Naaman was angry at this, as he expected Elisha to come out himself and call on God to heal him in some dramatic way. Naaman was in a rage, and left. His servant reasoned with him, getting him to do as Elisha had said. After washing in the Jordan seven times, he was healed. He returned to Elisha and proclaimed how great God is.

Naaman was a lot like us. He had great expectations of God, yet God answered him differently than he expected.

Often people seek God, yet God’s response is different than what they want. Sometimes God tells us no. Sometimes God’s will is not our will. That is hard for us to understand. When God tells us no, or does not seem to hear us, we become angry and bitter just as Naaman did, yet we must always remember that God’s way is better than ours. God knows what we need much better than we do.

As Jesus prepared to go to the cross, He prayed that night in the Garden of Gethsemane. As He prayed He said, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42, NKJV). Jesus as a man, understood that the cross would be a horrible way to die. As God, He also knew His death and resurrection would be the only way to atone for our sins. He knew the Father’s will was best. We must approach our lives in the same way.

God’s will is best for our lives, even though sometimes it may not make sense, or fit with our own will. This will take trust on our part, which often is not easy. However, much like Naaman found, when we yield to God’s will, we will see great things. May we approach life as Jesus teaches us, not our will, but God’s be done.

Mount Holly citizens will see recycling fee adjustment in August water bill Mount Holly citizens will see an increase in their recycling fee in the next water bill, due to a change in the national recycling market that affected the cost structure of Republic Services, the company receiving the recycling materials collected by the Mount Holly Streets and Solid Waste Department.

Disposing of recycling materials in a landfill is illegal, per State law. In January 2015, the City of Mount Holly initiated recycling collections to be provided by the Streets and Solid Waste Department. ReCommunity Holdings (later to be purchased by Republic Services) and the City entered into a contractual agreement for recycling materials disposal services.

On June 11, 2018, the City received an email from Republic Services with a letter indicating that the agreement, which had previously negotiated a contractual extension until January 12, 2019, would not extend and would cease on July 11, 2018. The Municipal

MALCOLM’S CLOCK REPAIR

Services Manager of Republic Services was contacted, and the City received notification that the recycling market was experiencing changes throughout the country, most specifically, the surrounding Charlotte region.

With the recycling market not being as strong as in year’s past, Republic will charge a rate, coupled with the City’s in-house costs, that exceeds the currently monthly recycling fee of $3.00 per customer.

During their July Council meeting, the City Council approved that the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Fee Schedule be adjusted to $5.25 per customer to accommodate this increase in recycling disposal fees as well as to accommodate the increase in internal costs associated with in-house collection.

The new agreement between Republic Services and the City of Mount Holly is being negotiated and will be a one-year period. City staff made a recommendation to City Council that recycling operations be rebid to recycling vendors/haulers during this one-year agreement time frame.

Goats clear kudzu at Seven Oaks Preserve near Belmont A herd of 50 goats are making a meal of invasive kudzu at one of Catawba Lands Conservancy’s most popular protected properties near Belmont.

For the past three weeks, a herd of around 50 goats have called Catawba Lands Conservancy’s Seven Oaks Preserve their home. The preserve, located in Belmont on Lake Wylie, is home to one of the most popular segments of the Carolina Thread Trail.

These goats aren’t just there for show – they have a job to do. They have been working tirelessly to get rid of the invasive vine, kudzu, which has nearly taken over at the Preserve. Since their arrival, the goats have cleared out three of the four kudzufilled fields.

Goats are one of the most effective methods to remove kudzu. By the time they’re finished, the harmful plant will be almost completely eradicated from the property.

Visitors are invited to see them in action. (Seven Oaks Preserve Trailhead: near 6900 S New Hope Road, Belmont, NC 28012) Stop by the pollinator garden at the trailhead, take a walk down the trail, and say hello to our temporary residents. The goats are contained by an electric fence, and guests are asked to stay away from the fence and please keep all pets leashed to keep the goats from being distracted from their job.

The Catawba-Wateree Habitat Enhancement Program is funding the goats to remove kudzu from Seven Oaks Preserve.

Abbey announces 2018 volleyball schedule A pair of in-season tournaments and 12 home matches highlight the 2018 Belmont Abbey women’s volleyball schedule. The campaign, which features 32 matches overall, includes several theme nights at the Wheeler Center.

“We are excited about the upcoming season,” coach Toni Elyea said. “Our program is continually improving and with a strong group of returners and eager

first-years, we expect more of the same. We face off against top NCAA contenders at the beginning of our schedule and that should prepare us for a tough conference season.”

The season begins on August 28 with a tri-match against Wingate and Winston-Salem State in

Wingate, N.C. before back-toback weekend tournaments -- the SAC Regional Crossover co-hosted by Lincoln Memorial and Tusculum and the Union University Volleyball Classic in Jackson, Tenn.

After three more matches

on the road including the Conference Carolinas opener at Lees-McRae on Sept. 15, the Crusaders make their home debut against defending champion Barton on Sept. 21.

Three home weekends in October will feature trimatches with North Greenville and Chowan visiting Belmont on Oct. 6, following by King and Augusta on Oct. 13. The run concludes with Converse and Piedmont

OK, so print advertising isn’t as exciting and sexy as some of the digital options out there.

that great athletes have.

“I think the best thing that happened to me as an athlete is this guy that I wrestled who went to Hunter Huss, I think it was in the ninth grade, he beat me. And we met again my senior year, and he beat me again. And we met again in Charlotte in the semifinals of the Sectionals, and I beat him 9-1, and that was the best moment,” he says. “The whole time, ninth grade all the way through high school, I had him on my mind, that he was better than me, and I was able to beat him.”

He says his Hall of Fame induction was somewhat of a surprise. “I’m just thankful someone thought enough of me to nominate me and put me in,” he says. “I had my moments, but I never felt like I was on that level. But I’m thankful someone thought that much of me.”

The 12th annual Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame banquet will take place on Saturday, August 18 at 6pm in the Mt Holly Municipal Complex. Tickets are available for $20 at Charlie’s Drug Store, David’s Detailing and from committee members.

shot title in 1980, ’81 and ’82 and setting a school record of 58 feet. He also owned the Gaston County record.

Logan was recruited by J.C. Smith, Western Carolina and Southern University, in Louisiana, but wanted to stay close to home. Like in high school, Logan was a multisport athlete for the Golden Bulls.

He played football all four years and started every game.

“There were a few games I shouldn’t have started because I was injured, but I played anyway,” he says.

He was the CIAA conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1983 and ’84 and All-CIAA in 1983 and ’84 in football, and was CIAA conference champion three years – 1984, ’85 and ’86 – in shot put, indoor and outdoor. And, as in high school, he broke the school record. In college, the shot weighs 16 pounds.

Logan launched it 54 feet.

The old record had stood for a decade.

But for all his winnings and titles, Logan says a scenario he remembers most is about not finishing first. It’s that never-give-up mindset

petition gets a lot tougher.

But I made State, and made All-State in wrestling at the 1982 tournament at Parkland High School in Winston-Sa-

First

If there were a teammate the guys wanted on their side, it was John Logan.

A big guy – 6-foot and 270 pounds – he was the tackling machine on East Gaston football’s defensive line, the heavyweight wrestler who won the majority of his matches with quick pins, the track team standout who could hurl a 12-pound shot put 58 feet, easily, and sail a discus into oblivion.

“I threw discus one year, but the guy who always won it was John Logan,” says former East Gaston teammate Jeff Lee. “Big John threw it about 170 feet.”

Logan, who took his talents to Johnson C. Smith University and graduated in 1987 with a bachelor’s in Business Administration, joins the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame for his list of accomplishments at both schools. He casually recalls some of the details, when asked, but his attention now is focused on family and his job at Federal Express, where he’s worked for 24 years.

“Everybody said, ‘You ought to play football,’ and I

had a lot of speed for my size, but once I started I really enjoyed it, I had a passion for it,” Logan says. “I wasn’t all that great. I had my moments, but I really loved the game and I think more than anything, I loved the team concept. I enjoyed being around those guys and made a lot of friends.”

Logan, who turns 54 in August, started for East Gaston’s football as a junior and senior and was voted All-Gazetteland as a senior in 1982, an award given by the Gaston Gazette. “I think I averaged something like eight tackles a game and five sacks a year,” he says. “My senior year we played against Kings Mountain, and I made 11 tackles that game.”

He was the Southwest 3A Conference heavyweight wrestling champion in 198182 and broke a record to receive an award for fastest pin in the Albemarle Invitational.

“I think I was Most Valuable in wrestling that year. Most of my wins were by pins,” he says. “I pretty much dominated the conference, but once you go beyond that and go to the State level, the com-

Gaston County Schools had an excellent summer reading program. It wrapped up last Friday but the students will take what they have learned with them into the new school year. “Camp Achieve” was held for four weeks (June 25 - July 26) at seven school sites across the county.

The program was intended to help students maintain and improve their reading level over the summer. But it was much more than just reading. Students were engaged in activities throughout the day including writing, reading aloud, and technology-based learning, and more.

South Gaston Post 144 completes regular season and tournament play

by Art Shoemaker In the second summer that American Legion Softball was played in North Carolina Post 144 here in Belmont entered a team.

Corky Franks served as team representative for the Post and the team was coached by Kevin Baker and assisted by Leah Brooks and Kevin Gordan. Coaches Baker and Gordon are high school coaches at Forestview while Brooks is head softball coach at South Point. George Kitchen another South Pointer handled statistics and was an advisor for the team.

The South Gaston team drew players from Forestview, South Point, Piedmont Charter and Stuart Cramer high schools. The team completed in the Southwestern Division against teams from Shelby Post 82, Stanley Post 266, Lincoln Co. and Rutherford Co. South Gaston has just completed their regular season of play with a won loss record of 8-8 in league play and an over all record of 1011.

Leading the team on offense has been Emily Cloninger and Courtney Bumgarner both Forestview products along with Sierra

Ghorley and Brittany Franks who both were standouts at South Point.

The ace of the pitching staff is Jaelin Griffin who enjoyed a highly successful South Point career before being sidelined with an injury during her senior season of play.

Adding depth to the pitching staff was Hannah Brewer.

Brewer enjoyed a good season on the mound for the Lady Red Raiders this spring and continued her good work with South Gaston this summer.

Hailey Franks, a rising sophomore at South Point, has shown much promise in her time on the mound and is expected to enjoy much success in her three years remaining for the Red Raid- Teams line up for the National Anthem before the American Legion playoff game.

Photos by Bill Bostick/Tar Heel Sports Photography ers. Franks is a lefty and is working hard in preparation for her sophomore season at the Point.

Last Tuesday South Gaston traveled to North Gaston to play Gaston Braves Post 266 in the first round of tournament competition. This was a single elimination tournament game with the winner of this contest advancing to play either Shelby or Rutherford Co. See POST 144, Page 17

POST 144 From Page 16

The Gaston Braves opened strong by scoring two first inning runs. In the top of the fourth frame South Gaston answered with a three spot. The inning began with a walk by Sierra Ghorley followed by Emily Cloninger reaching base on an error.

Next both Skylar Griffin and Carson Upton walked with Upton’s walk producing a RBI. Braley Hamilton, a Stuart Cramer product, followed with an RBI single and to complete the three run inning. Courtney Bumgarner, who played at Forestview, had an RBI sac fly.

In the fifth inning Post 144 added another run. The inning began with a single by Jaelin Griffin. Emily Cloninger followed with another single. Griffin scored on a sac fly by Sierra Ghorley.

In the bottom of the seventh the Gaston Braves managed a run to tie the score at four all to send the game into extra innings.

In the top of the eighth Carson Upton reached base for Post 144 and scored on a booming triple by Courtney Bumgarner. Bumgarner scored the sixth tally for South Gaston on a balk by the

Braves pitcher.

Post 166 managed a run in the bottom half of the eighth but this was not enough as the visitors from South Gaston Post 144 won the contest to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

Last Thursday the South Gaston team traveled to play top seed Shelby Post 82 at Cleveland Community College. The winner of this game will be the regional champion and will advance to play for the American Legion first ever state championship.

South Gaston jumped out front by scoring a run in the third inning and adding three additional tallies in the fourth frame to take a 4-0 lead after four innings of play.

Brittany Franks, a former South Pointer, had the big hit in the fourth that produced two RBI’s. However Shelby mounted a comeback by scoring six runs in the sixth inning and this was enough to win the game 6-4 and to advance to play for the state championship.

Jaelin Grffin pitched well for Post 144 but struggled in the sixth in walking three Shelby batters and the team

South Gaston Post 144 Skyler Griffin beats the throw home to tie the game against the Gaston Braves on Tuesday evening.

Head coach Kevin Baker praised his team’s effort during the 2018 season. He was pleased with the attitude and team spirit of his team. He added that often due to players having to miss games because of vacation and work players occasionally

had to play out of position but still gave outstanding effort throughout the season.

Coach Baker pointed out that pitching was a strong point of the team and defensive lapses at times led to the team’s downfall.

Solo Art Exhibition features Gaston College alumnus Carl Childs “Love One Another,” a Solo Art Exhibition by Gaston College graduate Carl Childs, will be featured at the Beam Gallery on the Dallas campus of Gaston College through August 30. The exhibit includes paintings, sculptures, ceramics and leatherworks.

Childs graduated from Gaston College with Associate in Fine Arts and Associate in Arts degrees in 2012.

While at the College, he was a three-time recipient of the Jean Rauch Art Scholarship.

He has taught Business, Art, Tactics and Sales in the Gaston College Continuing Education program.

Childs works in leather, wood, clay, ink, chocolate, and printmaking, and he paints with acrylic, oil and watercolor. He had art internships at Arts on Main and at the Schiele Museum of Natural History, both in Gastonia.

“My internship at Schiele Museum definitely impacted my museum and gallery experience,” he says. “The New Bird exhibit there, which is now 6 years old, has background painting done by me.”

He has presented over 300 solo exhibits, including at the Gaston County Museum, the Schiele Museum of Natural History, and the BIA (Believe in Abilities) Gallery in Gastonia, the Southern Arts Society Gallery in Kings Mountain, the Mint Hill Gallery and the Litaker Gallery in Mint Hill, and the Charlotte Art League Gallery, as well as previous exhibits in the Rauch and Beam galleries at Gaston College. Currently, he has work on display at the McDowell Arts Center in Matthews, and an exhibit at Spirit Square in Charlotte begins in early August.

Enhancing appreciation and awareness of art in the community is one of Childs’ goals. He has been teaching art to children, families and seniors for close to a decade, and has participated in many community events and special projects.

“I felt strongly that the Summer Artist Spotlight Series in Beam Gallery should make room for a new voice,” said Jason Story, Art Instruc-

Gaston County economy continues to grow

“Love One Another” by Carl Childs is featured in a Solo Art Exhibition at the Gaston College Beam Gallery until August 30th.

Gaston College Photo tor. “Carl Childs is that new voice. The idea was simply to honor an alumnus who had passed on his gift to others in this community. Carl is very considerate and passionate about the creative arts… and Beam Gallery is a perfect platform for him to showcase his new work.”

The title piece in the exhibition is “Love One Another,” a 16” x 14” watercolor and oil painting. Childs said the title is “a command, not a recommendation.” He went on to say, “I was inspired to create this work to show that true harmony at work, school and community should be like this image. Positive energy, honor, respect and encouragement should always flow each time we talk with one another.”

An acrylic painting, “Qi,” is also among those included in the exhibition. Qi, pronounced “chee,” is the vital energy in the body that animates us, and it is very important in Chinese medicine and Chinese martial arts.

In the painting, dragons are separated by the energy and color.

The exhibition features an entire wall of Pyrogra-

phy, images burned into leather. “These works are created to be touched by everyone,” said Childs. “That includes the blind and visually impaired, who deserve to always be included in art shows.” On the wall are English and Hebrew characters burned into leather or hammered in.

“The ‘Love One Another’ exhibition makes everyone look good by working together for a major cause,” said Childs. “Teamwork makes the dream work! This exhibition is going to bring new art students to Gaston College. I am pushing to have Northwest School of the Arts be a feeder school for Gaston College. Also, the Gaston College Art Club will be getting 30 percent of any sales from the Beam Gallery showing.

“As a professional artist and a Gaston College alumnus, I welcome this as an opportunity to help create a premier art program that eclipses many schools.

The College’s Art Program should always strive to be strengthened and seek to be one of the top programs in North Carolina. I want to

help my alma mater be the very best. When there are no art shows, zero money is raised for Art Club events and field trips. When I was a student, we did an overnight trip to Asheville and went to several galleries and museums. We did art demonstrations like Sidewalk Chalk Art in the middle schools and high schools, plus we made weekend gallery trips to Charlotte. All that needs to be revived.”

“Love One Another” will be on display at the Beam Gallery in the D.F. Beam Center of Visual Arts through Wednesday, August 30. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the summer and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the start of the fall semester on August 20. Admission to the exhibition is free.

An artist’s reception takes place on August 30 from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information about the exhibit, contact Jason Story at 704-922-6245 or story.jason@gaston.edu.
