Holy Angels hosts Journey Of Hope

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

The Journey of Hope bike team made its traditional visit to residents of Holy Angels last Friday. This year marks the 28th time the group has stopped by Belmont during their annual 3,000-mile rides across America.

The Journey of Hope riders are part of The Ability Experience.

This group of over 20 cyclists and crew members is one of three Journey of Hope teams that is dedicating its summer to enhancing the lives of thousands of people with disabilities through grant funding and community engagement.

Along the route, the team partners with local organizations that support people with disabilities by coming together at Friendship Visits – a time when the team can interact with the people they are riding in support of while giving them an experience unlike any other.

The Journey of Hope team consists of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity men from across the country.

Members of the team come from colleges and universities around the country including Texas Christian University, University of Dayton, University of Colorado-Boulder, University of California-Berkeley, Florida State University, and UNC-Chapel Hill.

The team cycles an average of 75 miles per day ending at the Nation’s Capital on Saturday, August 11. Part of each day is spent with people with disabilities on the 64-day Journey of Hope. Every cyclist commits to raising a minimum of $5,500 on behalf of people with disabilities in hopes to enhance their quality of life.

See HOLY ANGELS page 10

Journey of Hope riders and support team members were all smiles when they arrived at Holy Angels last Friday, not the least reason was the fact rain held off until they got there.

Belmont PD bike patrol provides vital service

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

The Belmont Police Department has many law enforcement and community policing tools at its disposal, but one category of its equipment- bicycles- has become rather worn due to age and use.

The Belmont PD bike patrol is a vital and practical means of getting riding officers out and about in a very visible way.

“Bikes are a good way to reach out and interact with the community,” says Belmont PD Sgt. Allen Buchanon. “It makes the officers more approachable. They are a great tool.”

Belmont PD uses its two Belmont Police Dept. officers Doug Huffstetler left and Sgt. bikes for a variety of pur- Allen Buchanon are seen with one of the department’s wellposes. These include patrol- seasoned bikes. Belmont PD hopes to get some new ones soon.

A group of Belmont firefighters were spotted at Riverside Marina on the Catawba River for training on the department’s Zodiac rescue boat. The craft has proven to be a great asset.

Belmont making good use new rescue boat

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

A couple of summers ago the Belmont Fire Dept. took possession of an inflatable water rescue and patrol boat and it has proven to be a great addition to the service.

The vessel is a center console Zodiac. It's

17 feet long, has a 90 horsepower engine, and can travel 40 miles per hour. Cost of the craft was $34k.

No sooner did it arrive than Belmont firefighters took turns learning how to quickly launch and operate the boat and familiarize See FD BOAT page 2

evident. In the past, Belmont has often had to contact the Charlotte Mecklenburg Fire Dept. and have that agency dispatch their boat to our area for water rescue or recovery.

Since it went into service, the Zodiac has been deployed at least 30 times. This summer the Zodiac has seen action around five times.

Two weeks ago, the Zodiac once again proved its worth when it was used to help rescue a missing man.

“We responded to a call about a man with some mental health issues that had gotten lost,” said Belmont firefighter Stephen Roberts. “We took the boat and began patrolling the river.

We saw him on the shore in some underbrush on the Mecklenburg County side near the I-85 bridge. We contacted CharlotteMecklenburg police and fire and they rescued him. The boat played a big part in the situation.”

themselves with the stretch of the Catawba River and Lake Wylie near town. Training also included night operation and learning how to load “patients” on board.

Other training drills included speeding upstream from the launch area at Riverside Marina to Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park about a mile away. The Zodiac can cover the distance in just a couple of minutes.

All Belmont firefighters are trained on the Zodiac. Each deployment has at least two firefighters and sometimes a paramedic on board.

The boat's beat ranges from just north of the US29/74 bridge south to the Seven Oaks area. Getting the boat from the fire station on Keener Blvd., where it's housed, to Riverside Overall, the Zodiac is something that everyone is glad to Marina only takes about 10 minutes. That, plus just a few more minutes to launch it, makes the craft a true quick deployment see on duty.

“With the Zodiac we are ready to supply protection to the apparatus.

With more and more people turning to the Catawba for rec- public for water recreation and other needs,” said Belmont Fire reation, the need for Belmont to have its own rescue boat was Dept. division chief Craig Austin.

ling the downtown area as well as during special events such as festivals and parades. Belmont bike officers also patrol the business area along Park St. and around Wal-Mart and Abbey Plaza.

The bikes offer high mobility and can get in places a patrol car might find challenging.

Belmont PD has had bikes for around 15 years. Several years ago, officer Dough Huffstetler set about revitalizing the program.

“The bikes are part of our community outreach and law enforcement function,” Huffstetler said.

Currently, Huffstetler is the main officer on two wheels. However, plans are to have two more officers begin specialized training in the middle of September.

The week-long training will be given by the Law Enforcement Bicycle Association at the Mooresville Police Dept. Training will include bike handling skills, riding in crowds, a 25 mile endurance ride, using the bike as a shield, bike maintenance, emergency dismount, enforcement tactics, and how to fire from a bike.

“It's a lot of training,”said Huffstetler.

The training will ensure that Belmont PD bike officers have the latest knowledge and skills to carry out their job. However, the bikes they currently have to perform their duties on are simply old and tired.

“They were here when I came 13 years ago,” said Huffstetler.

One look at the bikes reveals the many miles in all sorts of weather and terrain conditions they have endured. Another issue the old bikes have is obtaining replacement parts.

“Bicycle technology has changed dramatically over the years,” Huffstetler said.

Their heavy weight makes pedaling the old bikes a serious workout. Remember, bicycle officers don't wear spandex tights and tops, but carry a full load of equipment including ballistic vest, service, weapon, extra ammo, radio, handcuffs, taser, ticket book, water, and body cam when they are riding patrol.

“It is tortuous to spend a day on the old bikes,” said Huffstetler.

Belmont PD needs to get some new bikes. They have been looking at Giant brand ones at South Main Cycles. The Giant brand of mountain bike, the Fathom model in particular, is much, much lighter than the old bikes and has the latest cycling innovations. If they can get three Fathom bikes, then Belmont PD will outfit them with their logo and a blue light then put them out on the street for action.

Huffstetler estimates cost of a new Fathom out the door is around $1,200. To outfit the bike for police work will add several hundred more dollars to each unit.

New bikes will help Belmont PD towards its goal of being what Sgt. Buchanon calls “the best community police department anywhere”.

Interested in learning more about the Belmont PD bike situation, including the possibility of helping sponsor some new bikes?

Big 2018 car and bike show coming The 27th Annual Hot Nights Cool Rides Car Show is fast approaching. Each year thousands flock to the small town of Forest City, North Carolina on the third weekend in August (this year August 17 and 18).

Each year over 400 cars, trucks, and motorcycles line both sides of the manicured, treelined historic Main Street. Over 60 classes of cars, trucks, and motorcycles are represented each year.

To kick off this year’s event, a free cruise in and concert will be held on Friday, August 17 from 6pm-8:30pm at the Rutherford County Farmers Market on Park Square, just a short walk from Main Street. The Ocean Blvd Band from nearby Cleveland County will be performing at the cruise in.

You may even want to show off your shagging dance skills. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the sounds of beach music on Park Square. Folks bringing show cars are asked to park on either side of the Farmers Market.

Parking for the public is along historic Main Street and in the municipal lots between Main Street and Trade Street.

The 27th Hot Nights Cool Rides car show is a free event. It begins Saturday, August 18 at 9am and will continue until 8pm. It is an alcohol free event and no pets are allowed.

A more perfect union

By Lee H. Hamilton You know these words, but how often do you stop to think about them? “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…”

They belong, of course, to the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. That remarkable document is not just the blueprint for our political system. Its Preamble is also a profoundly aspirational call to arms. Because when you read it, it’s hard not to ask yourself how we’re doing — at establishing justice, promoting the general welfare, securing the blessings of liberty, and, in sum, creating a more perfect union.

It’s especially hard to avoid asking this question now, when the warnings of democracy in retreat are all around us. Yet it’s also undeniable that we’ve come a long way in this country and in other democracies. We seem to advance, fall back, and then move forward again, all in incremental steps.

The American experiment in representative democracy is always a work in progress. The re-

sults are always in doubt. Lincoln’s words at Gettysburg — “whether a nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure” — will probably resonate for as long as we’re a nation.

We face immense systemic problems at the moment: racial discrimination, wage stagnation, staggering income inequality, political polarization, the pernicious effects of too much money washing around in the system, the degradation of civil discourse. It is not a given that we’ll be able to resolve them, and we always have to be alert to the fact that our freedoms and rights can be eroded.

To prevent this erosion we have to step up to the task of responsible citizenship.

This is a challenge for every generation. As Americans we believe in a set of democratic ideals, basic rights, fundamental freedoms, and the notion that all people are created equal and all are entitled to dignity. These are ideas that give us cohesiveness and identify us.

But we cannot take our ability to deliver on them for granted. Without a renewal of energy and commitment to the democratic values of the Constitution, without acting on the call issued by the Preamble, we could lose them.

OPINION

Thursday, August 9, 2018

TODAY’S QUOTE: “Then followed that beautiful season… Summer….Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape. Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

MY OPINION:

Help – I’m an HOA Putin To The White House - Reason Enough Board President

Well it won't be long until the kids go back to school.

For some that day will bring a return to classes and an end to a couple of months of freedom. For others such as stay at home moms it will mean a return to quiet midmornings sipping coffee and gazing out the kitchen window or lolling on the sofa watching daytime drama on TV. (Only kidding, stay at home Alan Hodge Banner-News Editor moms).

I was sitting on my front porch the other day and started thinking about what back to school meant in terms of supplies and togs when I was a youth and the stuff students of today buy.

To begin with, kids need new back to school shoes. My grandfather Sinclair Smith would take my sister Beth and I to Stowe Mercantile in Belmont every year for a pair of new shoes. The shoe department was upstairs in the store and we would climb the steps to its lofty height. Every year we went through a similar routine. Beth and I would eye the penny loafers and say that's what we wanted. On the other hand, “pawpaw” would tell the clerk to get out the Buster Brown oxfords. Then a power struggle would ensue. We would whine and pout and demand loafers. He would threaten to remove his belt for the purpose of quieting our demands.

Once I told him if he did his pants would fall off. The store clerk let out a horselaugh. Grandfather was not amused. We left the store with oxfords as usual.

On my back to school clothes scene, the usual garb was new jeans and cotton shirts. This was before the days of pre-washed jeans and the denim was dark and thick and stiff as a board and it was rather embarrassing to walk around at school with new jeans rubbing your legs raw and a shirt so new it still had square creases in it and to top it off a new pair of Buster Brown oxfords that squeaked and made blisters on your heels.

As far as school supplies. The standard equipment was a Blue Horse notebook filled with Fat Boy notebook paper.

This was written upon with a #2 lead pencil. More sophisticated types might have a Bic ballpoint pen. I am left-handed and the rings on notebooks were in the way and so I had to turn it around and backwards to do my work. Lefties will understand what I mean.

As far as school lunch, my mom always seemed to scrape up the money for it, so I did not carry a Batman or GI Joe or whatever lunchbox like some kids did.

What do kids today need as far as back to school stuff?

Oh, at this point let me say I have never had to go shopping for such since I have no offspring, so I am basing my remarks on observation as well as the tons of back to school ads in every type of media known.

Let's go back to footwear. Believe it or not, Buster Brown shoes are still around, but now in a wide variety of styles.

That said, I see most school kids nowadays shod in athletic shoes in colors so bright they make your eyes throb to look at them. Others I see are wearing sandals in such a range of styles so as to make King Tut envious.

Gone are the stiff jeans of the storied past. Back to school jeans these days are generally of a well-worn appearance even when brand new. Some look to have been torn asunder by a lion or a big dawg. All hang absurdly low on the hips and some wearers also display their underwear blossoming up from the waistband. Shirts are of the “tee” variety many of which sport logos or sayings of a borderline off-color type.

Of course today's back to schoolers need a “smart” phone, computer, iPad, tablet. etc. etc. In other words enough technology to run a Fortune 500 company. Most of this stuff is used heavily to stay in touch with Facebook friends and the like. Don't even mention the cost in dollars.

Well, kids, parents, and teachers, back to school time is like the eyes of Texas, upon you, so enjoy what's left of summer vacation.

Many years ago, when George H. Bush was running for President, he uttered those famous words in a debate, “Read my lips, no new taxes.” It won him the Presidency. It cost him the reelection. Try being a Home Owners Association (HOA) Board President when you are trying to raise the dues.

No one rises and calls you blessed. No one thanks you for your volunteer leadTony Marciano ership and sacrifice. No one is grateful that you are looking out for the best interests of the community.

What I learned is that they “smear” you on Facebook. My HOA has its own Facebook page. When the newsletter came out asking for the homeowners to vote to raise dues, the social media ranting began. I was not winning any popularity contest.

In fact, my bid for re-election was not looking well.

One homeowner not only said “evil” about me on Facebook, she emailed our property management company. I captured her address and decided to pay her a surprise visit.

I stopped at her house, rang the bell and asked for her.

When she came to the door I greeted her by saying, “I heard I’m graying your hair for free.” She looked at me very puzzled.

My next sentence was “Do you know who I am?” Silence. I continued with, “we met 10 years ago.” Silence. I said, “I’m your HOA president.”

We had the best conversation. I let her talk as she shared with me her frustrations about the neighborhood. I let her know I shared most of her frustrations. I showed her how I was planning to improve the Board and the community. I left her house, having made a friend.

Why are we so terrified of conflict? There are so many reasons. One reason is that we want people to like us. Therefore, we don’t confront people. We hope the problem just goes away. It doesn’t.

I have a friend who, I think, has a codependent relationship with God. When she gets into a difficult situation, she doesn’t address it. Rather, she prays and asks God to change the situation. Yes, I believe in prayer. I also believe that God will give us the strength to address difficult situations. Remember, Jesus called the religious leaders of his day a bunch of blood sucking vipers. Not exactly a page out of the book by Dale Carnegie, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

There is a Scripture verse that says, “Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

It's interesting that it says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you.” Conflict is inevitable. We think we should skip through the fields, pick daisies and never disagree with anyone.

That’s not what this Scripture is saying. It is telling us conflict will come. What will you do?

I will confess to you I wanted to write a very nasty Facebook response to my neighbor. I’m glad I didn’t. I took the high road and made a friend and not an enemy.

Back to school

The buzz of a possible visit by Russian President, Vladimir Putin has died down.

Different reasons have been cited from safety to timing to other things going on right now for President Trump and Putin.

I said on more than one occasion when Obama was President that he should invite Putin to the White House for dinner. I also said that about Kim Jong-un.

Glenn Mollette Putin nor Jong-un are not beloved by the American people. Americans, or our President are not beloved by the North Koreans or the people of Russia. I don't necessarily know this as gospel fact but I watch the media and read other articles and columns. I suspect it's true.

Diplomacy is always a good move to try from any side of the aisle. I do hope our President will have Putin in the White House for dinner, play checkers, pitch horseshoes and treat him to a tour of the White House grounds or something like that.

On the other hand I am sure that CNN, NBC and the New York Times would have great fear over what the two men might talk about. Maybe, they would talk about how our two countries could work together to make our world a safer and better place? Maybe they might talk about world peace? Maybe they would talk about global energy issues, food shortages and helping all people around the globe to have happy productive lives? Who knows what world leaders try to talk about for sure? Maybe Putin would disclose to the President how much his Facebook advertisement budget would be for the next election? The way Facebook stock has fallen this week interested persons should keep an eye on Mark Zuckerberg. He may be meeting with Putin himself to rev up advertising accounts.

When it comes to advertising, most media ventures seem to sell to anybody that wants to buy any kind of an advertisement for or against anybody. I have not noticed any television stations in any town in American refraining from running any kind of political advertisement that anyone wants to buy. Some political advertisements are ridiculous and should not be aired on television.

The claims against opponents get more outlandish every year. Can you imagine what the advertisements are going to look like against Trump this next time?

What if a group from Haiti wanted to buy Facebook ads for or against a candidate? Or what if someone from France wanted to get involved in buying Facebook or other media advertisements?

The media groups would sell them the space because they are all desperate to turn dollars. It's a free country, at this point. I'm sure there are groups who might not sell an advertisement to the Pope if he wanted to buy one against Trump but who would that be?

Okay back to Putin's lunch at the White House. Invite him to come and see how it goes. He's not going to stay here. Bring Kim Jong-un and shoot some basketball with him. This will also mean an invite to Dennis Rodman to the White House. And why not we are talking about peace and trying to get this world together in harmony before we destroy it and that's reason enough.

The EDPNC members pictured are: from left to right; Katy Parker, Nate Groover; Garrett Wyckoff, Melissa Smith, Olivia Koone, Catherine Miller, Austin Rouse, Colin Kiser and Angel Liu. Not pictured are David Spratley, Ellen Tai and Laura Lee who were called away on projects.

Maw Maws’ Medicine

When you grow up in the south there are many “alternative” ways to find cures for what may ail you. A common practice for many cuts and abrasions was to cover the wound in Merthiolate despite it being known to contain Mercury. My mother has even gone so far as to treat burns with traditional Colgate toothpaste. Of all the outrageous wives’ tales thriving in the south, one household cure in particular sticks out in my mind as a memory that as a child I took for granted but as an adult, I doubt that I could ever recreate.

We used to live on the outskirts of Mount Holly in the Lucia Riverbend area and because of that, there were some children that lived close by but not very many. Most days were spent happily either playing in my front yard or about five minutes away in my grandmother's yard. She would watch me most of the time as a child because she lived close by and we did our best to take care of her and vice versa.

The sun went down and the lone street light in the side yard shined on the well house as the crisp fall breeze rustled freshly loosened leaves. Through the window I saw the headlights of the Chevy Caprice pull into the driveway. I felt my curiosity heighten as the floodlight above the backdoor revealed my mother carrying a brown paper bag along with a couple of bags from the grocery store. From the back bedroom I could hear conversation arise immediately after the screen door slammed. Bags were unloaded and as I entered the kitchen, my grandmother worked frantically as if concocting a magical elixir. She took a half-pint jar and filled half of it with the Evan Williams black label bourbon, soon following it with the juice of two whole lemons and enough sugar to create a syrup of the substance. Before I could complete my question, the fresh batch of cough syrup was in a spoon and down my scratchy little throat. Although effective, I finally managed to ask what the brew was and Maw Maw told me the ingredients she had shaken all together in her little jar. In the following days when I went back to preschool, the look on my teacher's face was priceless when I told her what I had been “prescribed”.

Maw Maw passed away in 2009 but there was an eerie occurrence that hap-

pened not long after I had turned twenty-one that was too good not to share.

When I used to partake in liquor I preferred to drink bourbon Shelton Fisher and whiskey (or whiskey depending on what your brand is). There was once a time that George Dickel offered a free bottle of whiskey sour mix with the purchase of their ninety-proof bottle. Initially it was purchased for me as a gift but once I had taken the first the sip, the sheer nostalgia of that night made me want to find more of the mixer to reminisce when I missed her. Everyone in my immediate family tasted it and there was no denying that the mixer was an identical match to the flavor of her homemade remedy.

“Stirrings” is the brand of the mixer and they can be found in several fine establishments however the whisky sour mix is one that I have yet to find on retail shelves. Maybe this was just really good marketing. Maybe it was a kiss from heaven saying “Drink responsibly and I love you”. Coincidence or not, it was always a flavor that reminded me of Maw Maws’ Medicine.

“Obedience Begets Character” This morning I was thinking about gardening and landscaping in general; about a slice of my collective experiences over the years. In hindsight, I’ve often had to work around some rough edges of my personality. I usually have a mental picture of an annual perfect garden but when push comes to shove, I can talk myself into bypassing “proper and leaping to convenient.” How many of you have discovered that working outside can get exhausting and hot, especially in the summer; and dirty and sweaty? At some point my attitude says something like “enough is enough,” and I take a short cut; often because I struggle with “waiting.”

One year, with an above ground garden, I had the idea to fill it with composted manure. It was delivered late fall to the end of my driveway where I wheel barrowed it to the back yard; and I wheeled it; and wheeled it. Turns out, figuring truck volumes and equating that to gardens wasn’t a walk in the park. When I finished loading it all into the garden, the manure was literally 3 feet higher than the perimeter garden

walls. You may be wondering what I did? That’s another story but rest assured that that garden “jumped” out of the ground with fruitfulness. Even with those successes, however, it wasn’t the perfect garden. Impatience, yet again raised its head. Fun, but not perfect.

Another garden of mine was patterned after the “square foot” gardening technique. This suited my personality fine because I am an introvert, love efficiency and don’t mind most small spaces. The trouble with this one was that once I got the gist of what this technique was all about I thought I had all the answers; was the garden “answer man,” and then the garden took me to school.

Character flaws; we all have them.

The trick is to recognize them and do away with them. Why? Because if we step outside humanist two dimensional living where “it’s all about us” and where we are busy steering our own ship, we wake up and discover we are accountable to our Sovereign Creator and He not only wants to help, teach and empower us but He also wants our obe-

Seeking applicants for available board positions

dience; because He mainly desires to reshape our flawed character into His image. Because He is perfect and we aren’t. In 1Samuel 15:22 the scripture recounts Samuel’s Dennis Siracusa prophetic words to King Saul where he notes “does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice…” If we want a great garden, landscape, or orchard we will do well to ask God for His notable help. Otherwise, our imperfect attempts at “carefulness,” obvious character flaws, and excuses will spoil our efforts. God wants to teach us obedience, patience, and dependence for our own sakes. We’d do well to listen.

Oh, and our gardens will thank us.

Caregivers workshop coming to Gastonia

The Holy Spirit unites After returning home from World War II, some blacks went to the polls to vote. They were met with mobs that united to stop them from voting. When schools were integrated, black boys and girls encountered resistance. And, whites who tried to help were confronted with the same united opposition. It does not matter if the issue is good or bad, there are some who will stand united to fight against systems. In the Christian community, there is a different type of unity we are called to live.

Some denominations are in opposition with each other around various issues. We hear phrases such as, “We need to be united.” What does Christian unity mean? Christian unity does not mean being united around issues no matter how important the issue, but united in the mission of Jesus Christ.

“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV. Christian unity does not come from uniformity around social issues or denominational unity. It is not what we do on the outside that makes for unity, but how the Spirit is working in our hearts. It is not our responsibility to create unity; it is the Spirit of God who brings unity.

“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3 NIV. It is the Christian’s responsibility to preserve the unity by walking in a manner worthy of God’s calling. It is not organizational unity that drives us, but unity in Christ.

The unity the Holy Spirit brings is our belief and understanding in Jesus Christ and

growing in Jesus Christ. Our ultimate goal is Christ-likeness, and the ultimate purpose of unity is to glorify God. To live in unity, we must live humble before God, gentle before others and in the love of Christ.

The world continues to seek ways of creating laws and guidelines to preserve unity and peace. But it will always fall short. Unity and peace can only happen in relationship to God through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I in them and you in me so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” John 17:23 NIV. As we live united by the Spirit, we reflect Jesus Christ in the world. As we reflect Jesus in the world, we continue his work and mission. The work of Jesus is always reconciliation to God first and to one another. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has

Rev. Angela Pleasants District Superintendent of Catawba Valley Methodist Churches come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors.” II Corinthians 5:17-20a NIV. As we continue to allow the mind that was in Christ dwell in us, then we will see the peace and unity of the Spirit in our communities and throughout the world.

According to the National Family Caregivers Association there are 90 million family caregivers today in the United States. Family caregivers are the backbone of the nation’s long-term care system.

They provide $450 billion worth of unpaid care each year. That’s more than total Medicaid funding, and twice as much as homecare and nursing home services combined.

Are you caregiver and want to learn how to better care for yourself? If so, then don’t miss the upcoming caregiver workshop, “Building Better Caregivers”, sponsored by Centralina Area Agency on Aging and NC Cooperative Extension. The workshop is offered at no cost to caregivers!

“Building Better Caregivers” is scheduled for Wednesdays, October 3rd through November 7th from 9:30am to 12:00pm. Sessions meet weekly for six weeks. The workshop will be held at the Lucile Tatum Center, located at 959 Osceola St, Gastonia, NC. To preregister for this workshop by September 26th, contact Pam Bryson – by email: pam.bryson@gastongov.com or phone: 704-865-3291.

“Building Better Caregivers” is designed to enhance caregiving skills for family caregivers. Topics discussed include: reducing caregiver stress, improving health using self-care methods, managing difficult care partner behaviors, and planning for the future. Participants will also learn how to connect to resources and effectively communicate with family, friends, and health professionals.

UPCOMING SHOWS

God is Great! that the Law of Moses demanded that she be stoned for the act. They had hoped to ensnare Jesus. If He agreed, they would say He was supposedly a man of love. If He saved her, they would say He violated the law. However Jesus had the perfect response. He told them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first” (John 8:7, NKJV). Convicted of their own sin, they left one by one from the oldest to the youngest. Jesus looked up seeing the woman left alone. He asked her where her accusers were. Noting that no one was left to condemn her, neither did He. He told her to go and sin no more.

In this event we see Jesus showing those awesome attributes that makes Him so great. We see Jesus as a God of mercy and grace. This woman was guilty, no one including herself denied it. According to the law she did deserve death, yet Jesus spared her. He showed mercy and grace to someone who did not deserve it, and could not earn it. Jesus forgave her, telling her to sin

no more. A woman facing death for her sin, was given a second chance and a new life in Jesus. Jesus has done the same for us. For our sin we deserve death and separation from Rev. Trent Rankin God, yet he pours Salvation Church His mercy and Gastonia, NC grace out on us. salvationchurchnc.org He is faithful to salvationchurchnc@gmail.com forgive us of our sins. Through the cross, we have a new life though Jesus. He bore our sin and punishment, dying for us. Jesus is a God of great mercy, grace, and forgiveness. These are all gifts freely given to us if we will only believe. He will free you the same, just as He did for the woman that day, if you will seek Him. He loves you that much! God is great!

Paws in the Park coming to Stowe Park Event Connections Planners and the City of Belmont Park and Recreation Department have teamed up again for the 2nd Annual Paws in the Park Belmont event.

I am sure you can remember a time when you were out in public somewhere with your parents. Maybe you were at the mall, in some store, or perhaps a restaurant. While there, you really misbehaved.

You might have really put on a display for everyone around you. Your parents probably at that time reminded you that punishment would be swift when you got home!

Once home you waited for your punishment that evening, but it never came. That next morning you expected something, yet your parents never brought the subject up.

Amazingly, your parents never brought the promised punishment upon you. In their love for you, they simply forgot it. God works in the same way. Even though our actions warrant punishment, He simply lets us go free through His love.

HOLY ANGELS from page 1

The Ability Experience (formerly PUSH America) was founded in 1977 with the hope of committing its members to enhance the lives of people with disabilities.

The Journey of Hope covers 32 different states, cycling over 12,000 miles (there are three teams – North, South, and Transamerica) combined, solely comprised of members of Pi Kappa Phi and continues to spread a message of acceptance and understanding for people with disabilities.

Holy Angels has had a long relationship with The Ability Experience, starting when it was known as PUSH America, with the very first Give A PUSH weekend in 1989 - where members of the fraternity from throughout the southeast gathered to help build Holy Angels' Push Place play area.

They returned a few years later, for another Give A PUSH weekend and built Camp Hope, a recreation destination for Holy Angels' residents. In 2009 Holy Angels hosted a 20th anniversary Give A PUSH Weekend to refurbish the original project - PUSH Place. In 2011, PUSH America held a Give A PUSH weekend to double the size of PUSH Place, providing both the funds and volunteers for the project.

“We have a tremendous partnership with The Abilities Experience,” said Holy Angels community outreach director Sister Nancy Nance. “They are an integral part of Holy Angels.”

Holy Angels was founded in 1955 by the Sisters of Mercy. The private, nonprofit corporation located in Belmont provides residential services and innovative programs for children and adults with intellectual developmental disabilities with delicate medical conditions.

The mission of The Ability Experience is to use shared experiences to support people with disabilities and develop the men of Pi Kappa Phi into servant leaders.

The Ability Experience organizes Journey of Hope and two other large service projects each summer and is the national philanthropy of Pi Kappa Phi. Founded in 1977, the Ability Experience is committed to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities. Combined with corporate sponsorship, the 2017 Journey of Hope will raise more than $650,000 for people with disabilities across the nation. The Ability Experience has raised over $15 million in its 40-year history. For more information, visit http://www.abilityexperience.org/.

Pets and storm anxiety

By Joann Hager There have been many storms lately with thunder and lightning which can be scary for some dogs/cats. To help keep them calm, here are a few tips to consider: Prepare the house. The house becomes your pets’ safety zone, so it’s important to prepare it properly.

Keep some lights on.

Keeping a light on will calm your pet and make him feel more secure, rather than being scared in a dark room.

Dampen the noise. Close the curtains in the room and, if your animal is a caged one, cover up the cage in a thick blanket, but make sure it is breathable so your animal doesn’t suffocate. This will also help to stop the flashes of light affecting your pet.

Plan to use familiar sounds to drown out the noise of the storm. Music from a stereo or turning on the TV are likely familiar sounds that can sooth your pet. Just make sure not to play these sounds too loud.

Prepare the room. Select a suitable room where you can contain the pet for the duration of the storm. An inner room that is least impacted by the noise is ideal. If you

have more than one pet, be sure they don’t mind being confined in the same room, or select several rooms for different pets.

Make the room cozy. Put down familiar, clean bedding somewhere pleasant such as under a table, on or behind a chair, etc. Add some familiar chew toys, scratch pads, balls, etc., to keep your pets amused and distracted.

Prepare yourself. In the desire to ease our pet’s pain, sometimes we can transfer our anxiety and upset to the pet. If you’ve prepared properly in advance, there is no need to feel upset and worried as you can be reassured about the safety of your pet.

Provide food and hydration. Be sure to leave sufficient water and food for your pet in the confinement area.

Many pets will be uneasy, or even frantic. If your pet has access to water, it will help calm him, and food supplied in your pet’s regular portion will make him feel like it’s a normal day.

Keep an eye on your pet, and if possible, stay with her. Comfort her and talk to her. Be friendly but don’t fuss over her too much; this can increase her anxiety if

she picks up on yours and can reward and encourage fearful behavior. Allow your pet to hide somewhere in the room if wished.

Check on your pet after the storm.

Reassure her once the storm is over. Let her have free run of the house to see how she behaves before considering letting her return outside (it might be best to wait until morning, if possible).

Check for signs of stress in your pet: For cats, signs of stress include running away, soiling the house, hiding away and refusing to eat.

For dogs, signs of stress include barking a lot, running away, soiling the house, hiding and cowering, clinging to owners, whimpering, trembling and shaking, pacing and panting, and refusing to eat.

If your pet is stressed, keep him indoors overnight.

Keep a litter tray somewhere in the house, or walk a dog after the storm but don’t let him off his harness and be sure to stay with him the whole time.

Belmont Abbey Science Building getting update Belmont Abbey has begun renovation of the William Gaston Science Building.

The changes include updating the exterior and the addition of state of the art chemistry and biochemistry labs.

The transformation is a part of the college’s continuing commitment to excellence in education, with the intention

of potentially adding a Biochemistry program.

The current renovations are the first step of a building master plan that would eventually extend to the whole building. Major work will only take place during the summer to minimize disturbance of classes. To update the building, Belmont Abbey

has partnered with an architecture company from Raleigh, North Carolina noted for their college campus laboratory design, having worked previously on similar renovations for NC State and UNCChapel Hill.

The William Gaston Science Building was initially constructed in the 1960s, and

is currently host to the majority of science related classes, including biology, chemistry, psychology, and mathematics. The science building is easily visible on Belmont-Mt. Holly Rd and can also be seen from I-85 around exit 26.

The construction this summer will achieve several goals. The primary work

consists of adding new biochemistry and chemistry labs on the first floor and converting existing second floor chemistry labs on the second floor into a physics lab and classroom

space. Associated changes will add more natural light, and redesign one of the primary entrances to the building The project also aims to foster interactive, collaborative learning. The new labs will allow students to take a more experiential approach to learning. In addition, the change in layout will facilitate interdepartmental work.

Further, the new plans include group study spaces, to further encourage teamwork among students.

Long-term, the project is hoped to lay the groundwork for adding a biochemistry program, and expand Belmont Abbey’s already diverse offerings. The program will likely begin as a minor before upgrading to a major course of study.

Dr. David Williams, Vice President of Academic Affairs for the college said “This is an exciting project, and wouldn’t be possible without the striking growth we’ve seen in our science programs in recent years. We’re also grateful for the amazing generosity of the donor who enabled us to pursue this year’s work. The new labs, and the general renovation of the building, will add so much to the experience of our faculty and students.”

Jeff Lee to be inducted into Where Mt. Holly Sports Hall of Fame to find

By Kathy Blake

It was a good era to be in Greenville, S.C. The Furman University football team, Division 1-AA in the 1980s, was beating bigger teams, doing big things and making sure Coach Dick Sheraton, who had coached the Paladins since 1978, had a proper send-off before joining North Carolina State after the 1985 season.

Jeff Lee, who had played for East Gaston, was at Furman on a football scholarship in 1985, the year the team advanced to the National Championship.

“It was the first time Furman had ever been to a Nationals, and was the last time to play for Coach Sheraton,” Lee says. “We went to Tacoma, Wash., and played in the Tacoma Dome, which was exciting, to go that far away. Our competition usually was very regional, except when we played Marshall, so we usually took a bus. So to get on the airplane was really nice. It was an exciting week, with all the fanfare that goes with it.”

Furman lost 44-42 to Georgia Southern in a backand-forth game to finish the season 12-2. But Lee’s story didn’t end there.

He was named to Furman’s Greatest Modern Era All-Time Team and was named to the All-Southern Conference team in a coaches’ poll. The Greenville News described the 6-foot-3, 216 pound Lee’s college career and his team selections: “One of the best blocking tight ends ever in Furman’s run-oriented offense. In addition to his powerful build,

Jeff Lee had good hands with the bigplay ability, as over a quarter of his receptions went for touchdowns. Had 39 career receptions, but 10 of those were for touchdowns.”

His success at Furman and East Gaston landed him in the Mount Holly Sports Hall of Fame.

Lee, 54, remembers other big games at Furman, starting with his freshman year in 1982.

“Probably our biggest upset was when we beat the University of South Carolina,” he says. “And we beat N.C. State twice and we beat Georgia Tech once. The USC game was my freshman year and was the first game I started. You play in front of 60,000 fans, and I’d never done that before.”

He finished his college career with 36 catches for an average of 16.4 yards per catch, 590 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was voted All-South Carolina second team in 1984 and 1985, and All-Southern Conference in 1985, as chosen by the media.

Lee graduated in 1986 with a B.A. in Business Administration.

Football had been in Lee’s life since Little League age.

At East Gaston, his work at tight end and linebacker got him noticed by a few college scouts. He was a four-year starter on offense, and on defense as a junior and senior.

“My junior year was our best year,” he says. “We were vying for the playoffs but were one game short, and my senior year we were at about .500.”

He was a three-time letterman and was voted AllConference and All-Area as a senior. He made The Charlotte Observer’s All-Piedmont first team on defense.

He also was All-Conference in track his senior year in high school, in discus.

After college, Lee became a Navy SEAL and was stationed six in years in Virginia Beach.

Today, he lives in Virginia a few miles out of Washington D.C., where he works in private security.

He keeps a few newspaper clippings about his time at Furman, but he doesn’t dwell too much on statistics.

“I just know we had a really good coach, and a really good team,” he says, “and I liked the school.”

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.

Members of baseball teams need to contact Gary Neely at 704-214-3780 or gmnneely@bellsouth.net.

Abbey sets field hockey schedule Seven home games and new conference affiliation highlight the 2018 Belmont Abbey field hockey schedule, head coach Bronwen Gainsford has announced.. The challenging slate also features a pair of games against teams in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), widely regarded as the top field hockey conference in the country.

The Crusaders will open the 2018-19 home schedule for the entire college on August 30 when they host Newberry in the firstever South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Field Hockey League matchup. The teams were previously members of the ECAC Field Hockey League, but a new regional conference was formed this winter. Members include Newberry, Queens, Limestone, Converse and Coker in addition to Belmont Abbey.

Neutral-site matchups against PSAC schools Slippery Rock on Sept. 8 (Richmond, Va.) and Millersville on Sept. 14 (Harrisonburg, Va.) precede a game at Lynchburg before the team plays four straight league games -- at Limestone and Queens before a homeand-home set with Converse.

“This year, we face the most challenging schedule in our program’s history,” Gainsford said. “We are excited to be playing Slippery

Rock for the first time in our history and we look forward to the matchup against Millersville, who has made five straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Our Division III opponents are strong with Lynchburg advancing to NCAA play seven of the last 10 years and Centre earning a spot in the Elite Eight last year. Finally, we are excited to be competing in a new league against teams we face on a regular basis, so we know each will be a tough matchup.

The schedule also includes a home-and-home series with Bellarmine and non-conference games vs. Molloy and at Centre.

The inaugural South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Tournament will take place at the highest of the four seeds from Nov. 15-18.
