Arts on the Greenway is thriving in Mt. Holly

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

The Gaston County Art Guild moved its headquarters into the City of Mt. Holly owned Massey Bldg. at 500 E. Central Ave. last October and has been thriving ever since. The location is called Arts on the Greenway.

The Gaston County Art Guild was organized in 1965 to enable those interested in the arts to assemble and participate in the community ac-

tivities for the advancement of visual art. This non-profit organization is supported by members’ dues and is a funded affiliate of the Gaston Arts Council.

When the group made the move from its W. Main Ave., Gastonia, location to the Massey Bldg., volunteers carted everything from artwork to furniture to the Massey Bldg. and its 10,000 sq. ft. space. The Art Guild

has a five-year lease for the building with the city.

Mt. Holly city manager Danny Jackson welcomed the Art Guild.

“It’s great to have the Gaston County Art Guild be a part of the Mt. Holly community,” Jackson said. “They have really hit the ground running by connecting with various folks in the community. The Art Guild has a See GREENWAY, Page 10 Artist Nancy Kennedy with some of her works at the Arts on the Greenway location in the former Massey Building in Mt. Holly.

Hood Memorial AME Zion celebrates 70 years

Ground broken for first new commercial building in Belmont in 49 years

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

Hood Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church on Sacco St. in Belmont’s Reid Community has been a bastion of faith and

family for seven decades and to honor that fact the congregation and others got together last Sunday for a 70th anniversary jamboree.

Hood Memorial’s roots go

down deep into the local African America church scene and names associated with it include Henry’s Chapel AME Zion, O’Connor See HOOD, Page 9

By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

Last Friday morning saw the official groundbreaking for North Main Station- the first new commercial construction in downtown Belmont in nearly half a century.

The 6,000sq. ft. building will be an extension on the back side of the former P&N depot (currently South Main Cycles and Mug Shots Coffee) and provide space for at least five tenants. The new building’s architecture will

reflect that of the depot.

The project is being developed by South Main Cycles owner Steve Pepitone and partner Talia Simons.

Last week’s groundbreaking was largely ceremonial See GROUNDBREAKING, Page 4

OPINION

Thursday, September 5, 2019

TODAY’S QUOTE: “The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one’s life.”

- C.S. Lewis

My Opinion:

NC and NY are not the same

One step forward and a shuffle backwards

When my sons were in high school, I tried to find something we could do together. I wasn’t interested in video games, and they thought radio control airplanes took too long to learn.

We agreed to find a car from the 1960’s and restore it.

We found an old Mustang.

Together we rebuilt brakes, tuned it, etc. We painted the car with 24 cans of rattle can spray paint. We had a blast.

Eventually, they grew up and moved out. I still have the car and have recently enjoyed taking it to “cars and coffee” at Charlotte Motor Speedway. I enjoyed walking around and seeing the variety of cars being shown off.

As I was about to leave, I noticed two men looking at my car. One man looked closely at the windshield and saw fragments of a yellow inspection sticker. He told me it was a New York inspection sticker. I explained it was a North Carolina inspection sticker. He got a little testy with me and said, “I know my inspection stickers. That is a New York inspection sticker.” He went on to say that this car was from New York and had been driven in the snow there. I just listened and let him walk away. After he left, I got in the car and drove off.

I bet you all didn’t know I am related to an ancient Greek king. Well, not blood kin but kindred spirits you might say.

Here’s his name- Sisyphus. Here’s his tale- ol’ Sisyphus was king of Corinth. He irked Zeus (the king of the gods) who dealt him the eternal punishment of forever rolling a boulder up a hill only to have the ball roll back down again just as he reached the top of the hill.

A perfect example of how Sisyphus and I are linked took place last week. I was crowing about having a few extra dollars squirreled back. The hot water heater heard my boasting and decided to give warning it was about to die. With one fell swoop a thousand bucks flew from my checking account.

Another Sisyphus episode took place a few months back when my 1968 MGB got the drift I had a dab of extra money. The gas tank got a pinhole in the bottom and I tried to plug it with putty. When I pushed the putty against the pinhole my finger went through the metal up to the second joint just like the Dutch boy trying to plug the hole in the dike. So I had to get a new gas tank for several hundred bucks and struggle on my back for two days in the rain taking the old one off and putting the new one on.

Some of you may be seeing your own financial situation in my travails. It goes by this title “It’s one damn thing after another and I just can’t seem to get ahead”.

Well, I was feeling sorry for myself about the hot water heater but finally decided to look on the bright side. The old hot water heater lasted 30 years and if the new one lasts anywhere near that long it won’t matter to

me because I will be dead. Also, I read recently that the major- Alan Hodge ity of Americans did Banner-News Editor not have $1,000 to fall back on in case of a hot water heater going kaput or other emergency. In other words, living on the ragged edge of financial ruin.

Folks who lived through the Great Depression are few and far between but the ones still around will tell you they learned how to get by just fine on very little if need be. During the so-called Great Recession I did not have a full time job for four years but did OK by freelancing and working on vintage bikes for people and doing odd jobs. I got by with a more simple lifestyle.

These days I have some extra income mainly due to the fact I have lived long enough to claim Social Security and a small pension from the days of my youth when I was a forced laborer at a trucking company where the employees wear brown clothes.

Over the decades I spent money like water but now I am trying to mend my free-spending ways and get out of debt asap. Debt is bondage.

The hot water heater was a bump in the road but not as a big a one as payments on a $500,000 house which a lot of them currently cost. Lord help the current crop of house hunters.

My advice and honest opinion regarding cash flow is don’t treat every day like its Christmas because sooner or later something is going to break or wear out when you least expect it.

Pink is my new color

By Allison Bansen To tie in perfectly with my last column, ”Are you living or surviving?” ( August 22 BannerNews), I got some pretty life changing news at the end of my vacation. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am 36 years old, I have three kids, one starting preK, Kindergarten and 2nd grade. It’s like a bomb went off in my life. I went from living to surviving.

Life as I have known it changed within the blink of an eye. I went from taking care of patients as a Nurse Practitioner to becoming a patient.

I have sat endlessly in waiting rooms witnessing the pitfalls of healthcare from a new perspective. There are still many obstacles preventing the best care in medicine and it first starts with the diagnosis itself. I am at my appointment trying to process all of the information that is coming my way. There will be six months of chemo, bilateral mastectomy, new diet, my job is on hold, I was told to go ahead and shave my head, life as I know it is changed forever.

I walked out of the office in a complete panic. I got on the elevator and saw a patient headed to chemo. She had lost her hair, she was weak, with tired eyes. I just lost it. How can this be? All of the emotions were running through me. Anger, fear, sadness, scared, mad.

I hit the button and went straight to the counseling floor. I needed someone and I needed them now. What I found was an appointment list that was three months out for the nearest counselor. Three months! Half way through

my chemo... I don’t understand.

There is still a very scary hole in healthcare and it starts with emotional, psych support for those that have been given life changing news. I am not Allison Bansen alone. There are many people out there that have had similar experiences. I don’t know why this has happened to me, but I do know that I am going to survive.

I am going to win this battle within and this battle that I have been given. Maybe this is my opportunity to bridge that gap when I get better and fill such an important need. I don’t want this to ever happen to anyone again. I have had two weeks to pick myself up off the ground. I am better, ready to get this battle started. My kids, family, church, neighbors, friends have all been so supportive. Its the fight within that you battle when given news like this.

I have the most amazing role model to look up to and that’s my grandfather. He was given six months to live with the same cancer diagnosis I was given. He is now 92. An inspiration to me and to all. This journey will be long. It will challenge me in ways unimaginable. Like I said in my last article... are you living or surviving? There is not time to wait.

I knew he was wrong for several reasons. I bought the car in Tennessee. It was originally sold in Charlotte.

But the reason I knew he was wrong was that I had the windshield replaced shortly after I bought it. While it had no major cracks, it had hundreds of little cracks that made it impossible to see through if you were driving into the sun. In fact one day, I had to come home because the sun was on the horizon and I couldn’t see past the end of the hood. I replaced the windshield and then peeled off the North Carolina inspection sticker from the original windshield and put it on the new one. Today, cars over 35 years do not have to be inspected.

I don’t know why he reacted the way he did. What was lost was the opportunity for two gear heads to have a conversation about a car from yesteryear. Normally, you ask about the history of the car, the size of the motor, how long have you owned it, what have you done to it and what are your plans for the future. It’s called gearhead talk. That never occurred.

He walked away and I drove off.

I remember him walking away with an attitude of I’m right and this is a New

York car.

I drove off and reminded myself the expression Tony Marciano we often talk about at the Rescue Mission. It says, “Would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy?”

So often, the church talks about the sins of the flesh – the things I can see people doing. But there are also the sins of the spirit – the things I cannot see people doing.

Someone may be smiling to my face while struggling with the sins of anger, unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, or greed. Was this the sin of arrogance I witnessed? My job is not to judge. In fact, my job is not to convict of sin.

My role is to tell the wonder of the greatness of God’s love and redemption.

I’ll be back at cars and coffee. Who knows; we may run into each other again?

He may mumble about this being a New York car. I’ll smile. I’d rather be happy than be right.

I’ll be back in two weeks.

Until then, live well my friend.

Is there any rest for America?

By Glenn Mollette Most Americans are tired.

Ask most any American and you will hear an array of reasons why we are tired.

The answers range from long work hours to too many obligations.

Lots of things make us tired. We can become mentally tired. We all have things to think about and often we dwell on them. We think, we analyze, we worry and we wonder what tomorrow will bring. We ponder on personal problems, family situations, work issues, health battles.

The list is almost never ending.

Americans deal with health issues and how to pay medical bills. People who have what seems to be guaranteed retirements even worry about the possibility that life could change for them. A good friend once told me his retirement was set until he was 90. “I’m 88,” he said. “When I become 90 I’m going to run out of money.”

He lived to be 91. Many American s worry about outliving their money. Making more money if you live into your eighties has to be more difficult.

Overall, Amerwork places. We icans are tired of need someone to all our problems. breathe some life We’re tired of into the average hearing about American. Have another killing. you ever noticed We are tired of how many people hearing about our drug crisis. We are walking around Glenn Mollette are tired of hearlooking like they ing Washington are about half and state politicians spout off dead?

Too many Americans about what they are going to do but all they do is get richer are zoned out, indifferent and promising change, solutions zapped of human emotion and reform that never come. and energy.

Americans are tired of all Jesus said,”Come to me the arguing we see on televi- all who are weary and bursion and hear on radio. We dened and I will give you know how many of our social media friends feel about rest,” Matthew 11:28.

He was referring to an the issues. Whenever an issue internal rest that no one or comes up it’s the same people talking the same rhetoric nothing else can give. He as before. We already knew was referring to our spirit, how they felt before they said the heart of our internal anything. However, some people talk and some people being. Many Americans and act. About the only action most of the world are trying it seems that matters much to feed our souls with any is voting and it’s sad when and everything but it never some Americans are tired of satisfies us. There is rest for all of it but they still won’t America and a peace that drag themselves to the polls passes understanding. This and vote.

We hear a lot about reviv- rest and peace is only what ing our economy and breath- God can give and the world ing more life into America’s can never take it away.

Cheap crude oil means savings at the pump

Connect the Dots: It’s all about Him

Recognition and remembrance Have you ever had brain freeze? Oh, I’m not talking about when many of us gulp too big a bite of ice cream and curl over in pain.

No I’m thinking about when we forget something we ought to remember. Years ago, as an IBM salesman in Denver, I had a great many customers and often had difficulty quickly recalling their names. Often, in less pressing moments, their names would just pop into my head. That’s a weird sort of brain freeze!

But last night I was considering all of this at a deeper level.

Yesterday was a trying, action packed day.

It started with lots of administrative office work, and translated into cascading breakdowns with my wife’s car. I didn’t get home until after 7:30pm and simply needed to sit quietly and consider the day.

In the grand scheme all turned out pretty well. The blown tire was still inflatable with the pump we had in Bev’s car, so we drove it to the tire store. Advance planning, by having pumps in all our vehicles, saved us considerable grief and time. We also had replacement certificates on all of her tires. The cost savings for that one tire more than paid for all the certificates I bought for her whole set. Then her battery died in a place where I could easily get to, remove, and replace it. And, once again, it was covered by warranty. So what is to recognize and remember? I remembered Jesus Christ. Over the years He has impressed on me “that He will never leave me or forsake me.” Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5.

So within this stream of challenges, I could feel a heavenly spiritual peace surrounding me. I also remembered that the Lord, over the years, had taught me wisdom on when to invest in warranties and when to not bother.

In this case everything fell into place. Be-

Page 3

yond all of that, however, I dug even deeper for more understanding.

As I quieted down last night and opened my bible, I found myself in Colossians chap- Dennis Siracusa ter one. In verse two Paul reminds us that grace and peace surround God’s holy and faithful children. Oh, and lest you think I am boasting, I guess I am…. in Jesus Christ alone, because we are only holy and faithful because of His substitutionary death on the cross for us. There is no good thing in any of us but as Christ followers, we are covered by Jesus’ shed blood and appear white as snow to Father God. For what purpose you ask? Well if we drop down to verse 10 we discover that our purposes are to live lives worthy of Jesus, bear good fruit in all we do, and grow in our individual knowledge of God. And speaking of the Knowledge of God, let’s also look at verses 15, 16, and 17.

In those we learn that Father God is invisible, but Jesus, in a form we recognize, bears His Father’s image. We also learn that all things visible and those things we can’t see were created by Jesus and for Him. Furthermore, verse 17 reminds us that everything we see is being held together, literally, by the power of Jesus’ Word.

Our main purpose in life is to draw closer and closer to God; to really press in and begin to grasp His infiniteness and sovereignty, holiness and grace; to tear ourselves away from the busyness of our lives and recognize God working in our lives and remember His unimaginable sacrifice on the cross for us.

When filling-up at the pump this fall, the majority of U.S. motorists will find savings of potentially more than 25-cents/gallon compared to this summer. The national gas price average, which is already 15-cents cheaper than just five weeks ago, is poised to continue pushing less expensive due

to several factors, including less expensive crude oil prices, the drop-off in gasoline demand after Labor Day and the move to winter-blend gasoline. AAA forecasts the national average to drop to $2.40 or lower this fall and offers motorists easy tips to maintain fuel efficiency throughout the year.

“Right now, we are predicting that fall gas prices will be significantly lower than they were this summer across the Carolinas,” said Tiffany Wright, AAA Carolinas spokesperson. “This is due to a number of factors, with the main reason being the low price of crude oil this season.”

GROUNDBREAKING

Workers building North Main Station.

From Page 1 since actual construction began several weeks ago and is progressing nicely.

Numerous remarks preceded the official shoveling.

Belmont’s downtown director Phil Boggan had this to say about the historic project.

“Downtown Belmont is the heart and soul of this community and region,” he said. “Today is a special day because our charm is growing for the first time in half a century.”

Belmont mayor Charles Martin remarked- “We are blessed to have this new business building in downtown Belmont.”

Talia Simons also spoke.

“We are excited about the project,” she said. “This has been years in the making. It is important to keep the new building similar to the depot.”

Steve Pepitone purchased the former P&N railroad depot at 4 N. Main St. several years ago for his South Main Cycles business. Credit goes to him for preserving its basic 1915 structure and look and for echoing that in the new addition.

Pepitone reflected on how downtown Belmont has evolved over the recent past and the keen sense of cooperation between city hall and business.

“This project is really fulfilling,” he said. “We could

not have done it without a lot of support.”

Meditations

Charles Jesse Bynum Reid Legacy Day is Sept. 15

Positions come and go In my earlier years of ministry, I was invited to a social event in downtown High Point, North Carolina. I arrived early and was walking through the parking deck. I encountered two ladies in their fur coats. Of course, as a young recent seminarian graduate, I felt greatly underdressed. But, I smiled and said, “Good evening.” The two ladies glared at me refused to speak and proceeded into the building.

Once inside, I saw a member from my local congregation I was recently appointed.

It was my first appointment as a pastor. I sat with my member and her sister when the most unexpected thing occurred. The two ladies from the parking deck approached the table.

They were shocked to see me sitting amongst yes, their good friend and my new church member. She said, “Let me introduce you to my pastor.” Afterward, one would have thought I was a part of the royal court. The two ladies were overly gracious toward me.

Now, I would like to say I won them over with my charm. I know it was only due to the position I held. The ladies were not aware I was a pastor. What changed? I was still the same person they met in the parking deck. It was the position.

In our society today, many are more impressed with the position and not the person.

But, we are no different from the disciples who were with Jesus. “Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. ‘Teacher,’ they said, ‘we want you to do for us whatever we ask.’ ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ he asked. They replied, ‘Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in

Page 5

your glory.’” Mark 10:35-37 NIV. We often struggle with that worldly ambition to be at the top.

Rev. Angela Pleasants We sometimes fall District prey to wanting to Superintendent dominate instead of of Catawba Valley serve. In our world Methodist Churches today, the road to success may look one way, but the road to the cross looks an entirely different way. “Jesus said, ‘Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?’” Mark 10:38 NIV. God will not promote our self-aggrandized agendas. Let us seek the presence of God and not a position. “But first and most importantly seek, aim at, strive after, His kingdom and His righteousness. His way of doing and being right – the attitude and character of God and all these things will be given to you also.” Matthew 6:33, AMP. Jesus invites his disciples to follow him in greatness. But, to follow in this greatness will look different from what the world considers significant. It will call us to deny ourselves, take up the cross, and give ourselves away that God may use us. Self-giving sacrifice is what God recognizes. That is where greatness begins.

Positions and recognition will come and go. But, it is the love of God that remains forever. Pray that our hearts may be filled with God’s love as we seek to serve one another.

This September marks one year since the Charles Jesse Bynum Reid Foundation, Inc., received its 501C3 as a nonprofit organization.

The family of the late “Professor” Charles Jesse Bynum Reid, founder and namesake of Reid School, and his wife, Mrs. Maude Herndon Reid, will have a service honoring their rich legacy and recognize this anniversary date.

On September 15th, this commemorative service will be held at the Hood Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church in Belmont at 4:00 pm. The speaker will be Mrs. Dorothy Guthrie, member of the Gaston County School Board and founder/curator of the African American Museum of Culture located in the historic Loray Mill Center, Gastonia.

Music will be rendered by the newly restored Belmont Mass Choir. The choir will sing songs, interspersed in the service, that include an anthem, a hymn, spiritual and

contemporary gospel selection. The choir is under the administrative direction of Rev. Charles W. Reid, grandson of Professor Reid.

Last year, the first “Ever Forward to Continue On Award” was awarded by the CJB Reid Foundation to the newly established Reid High Alumni Organization under the presidency of Mrs. Joann Bowens Holmes. This year the award will be given to Mrs. Patricia Leeper Bostic, author of the book Chinaberries and Beyond: A Teacher’s Childhood Journey. She attended Reid High School, and her book includes special memories of each of her twelve years there. It should be noted that her humorous memoir is about home, church and school, and it ends with her graduating high school.

A very special initiative f the CJB Reid Foundation is the Junior Reid Rams Organization. The ram was the

mascot of the former Reid High. This organization is open to K-12. Children/ youth will enroll in the Reid School of Higher Learning and Achievement program.

The Junior Reid Rams will learn about the founding and legacy of Reid High School, which was encompassed in Reid School Grades 1-12.

These junior rams will come to know, and further realize, the attributes and guiding principles so noted by famed artist and Reid High graduate, Juan Logan, on his sculptured work titled “The Message” located in Reid Park, Belmont. The attributes and guiding principals are: caring, charity, common sense, dignity, fair, honor, hope, individuality, integrity, loyalty, pride, pursuit of excellence, quality, respect for others, self-esteem, self- respect, spirituality, trustworthiness and wisdom. The junior ram organization’s colors are “Gold and Blue”.

Miles joined Merritt and made 100 fliers to be passed around to all their neighbors to help collect items for the animals. Merritt and Miles were able to collect and buy a large number of items. Because they had collected so much, they were able to bless both Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement (GCACE) AND Tri-county Animal Rescue. Everyone is in awe of these 2 amazing kids and are privileged to know them. The dogs, cats and volunteers of TCAR thank Merritt and Miles for their kindness.

Tri-County Animal Rescue:

Waiting Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org

I do not know of anyone who enjoys waiting. No one likes to wait for things to happen.

In our relationship with Jesus, we often find ourselves waiting for Him to answer. Often, we question why God is not answering, or why He answers in a way different than what we expect. Many times, it is not so much the answer, as it is what we are experiencing as we wait.

2 Chronicles 32:1-22 tells us of the great king Hezekiah. Hezekiah, king of Judah, was a great man of God. His nation had turned from God, and worshiped false idols. Hezekiah removed the idols, and led his people back to God. Unfortunately, even though the king served God, trouble still came. The Assyrian Empire led by their king Sennacherib, laid siege to the city of Jerusalem. Hezekiah fortified the city and strengthened his army.

The Assyrians threatened Hezekiah and the people with total destruction if they did not surrender. They mocked God, and Hezekiah.

Hezekiah went to the temple and wept and prayed. Later, God would destroy the entire Assyrian army, sending their king home in shame.

Although God delivered His people, Hezekiah had to endure waiting on God to answer, much in the same way we wait. Surely Hezekiah felt lonely. He stood helpless as the greatest army on earth was seeking to destroy his tiny nation. One could imagine it was very

discouraging for Hezekiah as well. He had led his nation back to God, yet his reward was going to be destruction from an invading army. He built Rev. Trent Tankin up the walls, stopped the springs from providing water to the Assyrians outside the wall, and grew his army, yet ultimately it did not matter. He would still face death without intervention from God. We find ourselves like Hezekiah, waiting on God to answer in our lives. Sometimes we feel lonely, and get discouraged waiting on God. Perhaps we are waiting on healing, or for that long needed new job to come, or some other need from God. We may read our Bibles daily, and pray without ceasing, yet God does not answer. Hezekiah experienced the struggles of waiting, yet he knew He served a sovereign God. Hezekiah told his people, “With us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight out battles” (2 Chronicles 32:8, NKJV).

Hezekiah trusted ultimately in God. He took the threatening letter from the Assyrian king, and prayed over it in the temple.

He placed it in God’s hands, and left it there.

God fought the battle and destroyed 185,000 soldiers in the Assyrian army. Waiting can be difficult. It can be tough to endure, yet God fights for us just as he did for Hezekiah. Like Hezekiah, take your burdens to God, and leave them there. In God’s time, He will answer in a mighty way. The same God who fought for Hezekiah and the people of Judah, stands ready to deliver you!

Pet of the Week Tri-County Animal Rescue has this beautiful Beagle girl named Fancy as our Adult Pet of the Week. Fancy is between 2-3 years old. She is a tiny beagle and only weighs 13 pounds. Fancy loves all people and other pets.

She has short hair so grooming is a bath and towel dry. Fancy is spayed, current on vaccines and micro-chipped. Please come meet this baby girl this Saturday at PetSmart.

Beagles are clowns at heart, but they carry themselves with dignity. They are playful dogs, ready and able for games, but they are also lovers, and must be close to their humans.

Beagles love to be the center of attention, and are heartsick if ignored. Personality-wise, Beagles are happy and affectionate, loyal and charming, playful and mischievous. They are very intelligent, however, they can be willful, which makes training challenging.

If you are looking for an addition to your family, please come out and meet our pets this weekend. We have many available pets at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this Saturday noon to 6 pm.

About Tri-County Animal Rescue Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties. We are committed to ending pet homelessness in this area and we need your continued support. If you cannot adopt a pet, then support Tri-County in other ways. We need volunteers and donations to continue our mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals. Please help Tri-County Animal Rescue continue to

Fancy save pets by adopting your next pet this weekend? Our “needs” list includes: towels, Clorox, laundry detergent, paper towels, dry dog food and dry cat food.

For more information, call 704.263.2444, send an email to TriCountyAnimalRescue@ yahoo.com, visit us on the web at www.tcar. us or on FaceBook at Tri-County Animal Rescue. Donations can be sent to Tri-County Animal Rescue, PO Box 483, Alexis, NC 28006.

Parkdale Mills creating a culture Tri-County Animal Resuce of wellness for employees Parkdale, Inc. is producing more than yarn at their corporate office in Gastonia. They are creating a culture of wellness thanks to their participation in Gaston Together’s Healthy Gaston initiative.

Parkdale started their Healthy Gaston “wellness journey” in 2017 with an added emphasis on wellness opportunities and programming for their employees.

With 100 corporate office employees, they quickly earned Healthy Gaston’s Bronze Level recognition by developing an energetic wellness committee, engaging senior management’s support and creating a wellness plan that would work for their entire team.

Parkdale immediately implemented wellness into the workplace. They experienced a great response from employees wanting to get in shape through better nutrition, more exercise and reducing stress. Their programming has continued to engage more employees and even their employees’ families by taking advantage of the free programs that Parkdale offers.

In the last year, Parkdale has offered health and wellness programming in a variety of areas including: Packaged meal delivery every Tuesday with healthy options guiding employees with portion control and nutrients. Healthy vending machine options. An 8-week step challenge with 66 employees logging in over 8 million

steps! They divided into teams and the competition was on! One employee stated, “The step challenge motivated me to walk at lunch instead of just sitting at my desk.” The winning team was awarded daylong passes to the NC Whitewater Center. Parkdale employees have an on-site Nurse Practitioner for wellness visits and preventative care. All preventive care is FREE for insured employees.Employees are encouraged to use the free on-site gym and a partial reimbursement is provided for other gym memberships.Tobacco Cessation and counseling programs are encouraged and covered for employees. Parkdale has a comprehensive Tobacco Policy in place. Support is provided for participation in 5K races, for example, 53 Parkdale employees plus family members participated in the Girls on the Run 5K. According to one wellness committee member, “Parkdale is committed to fostering a culture of health and well-being that benefits our greatest asset - our People!” Celebrating success is also a big part of the Healthy Gaston process.

Parkdale has seen the power that health and wellness has in the workplace, and they

awards scholarship grants

actively celebrate their employees’ success. Participates in wellness programming are celebrated in many ways including cash rewards, Fitbits and gift cards to name a few.

With a very active wellness program in place, Parkdale has plans to start a “Healthy Eating” initiative which will include healthy breakfasts and an afternoon healthy snack bar. They continue to participate in 5K races and their next team challenge is an 8 week “Movement Challenge.”

Based on their emphasis on being healthy and their work to create a culture of wellness for employees, Healthy Gaston recognized Parkdale, Inc. as a Silver Level organization.

For more information on Healthy Gaston or to become a Healthy Gaston organization, contact Amy Boyd at Gaston Together, aboyd@ gastontogether.org or call 704-867-9869 ext. 110.

We have placed over 600 pets this year and helped a number of folks with requests for veterinary care assistance, pet food, flea medications, etc.

TCAR is totally volunteeroriented, with quality people.

Most of the adult volunteers work full time jobs but give their free time, energy and resources.

TCAR also has a large teen-aged volunteer base in the Gaston County area.

Teenagers come out to adoption events every week at the Gastonia PetSmart to help with the available pets for adoption. The teenagers spend their Saturdays walking dogs, cleaning up after the dogs, talking to potential adopters about the pets, cleaning cat litter boxes, brushing dogs and cats, socializing many of the pets, and even fostering pets.

This teenager volunteer program is a win win for everyone because it benefits the teenagers, the pets and TCAR. TCAR wants to help well deserving teenagers by offering

The imposing front of Hood Memorial AME Zion Church as it appears today.

From Page 1

Grove, Mt., Zion AME Zion, Mt. Moriah Baptist, Love’s Chapel Presbyterian, and Mt. Pleasant Baptist.

From those churches various men and women decided to establish a new religious outpost in the Reid Community so in 1949 land was purchased from Mr. J. Hall.

Originally, the building to be built there was a parsonage for the O’Connor Grove AME Zion pastor, however the Hood founders shifted course and decided to build a sanctuary proper for which the cornerstone was laid in July 1953.

The church needed a name and it was decided to call it Hood Memorial after Bishop James Walker Hood (18311918) who had been a strong civil rights, religious, and education leader in North Carolina during his life.

An Arts on the Greenway “studio” space.

GREENWAY From Page 1

long proven history in Gaston County and beyond. Mount Holly can now become a part of its legacy. The timing of it all is impeccable due to the fact that via the Mount Holly Strategic Vision Plan past and present, the promotion of art is a defined goal. Studies have shown that that the impact of art and culture on a community is very positive; we expect the same in Mount Holly.”

One idea in the Massey Bldg./Arts on the Greenway deal has really taken off.

That is, the Art Guild is renting studio spaces to artists.

Some of the spaces are in the form of private rooms, others are office-like cubicles. The Art Guild gives 90 percent of the money to the City of Mt. Holly. The remaining 10 percent is used for property management.

“We have eleven tenant artists now,” said Stephanie McLaughlin who acts as a liaison between Arts on the Greenway and the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation.

Works on display at Arts on the Greenway represent a wide variety of genres and includes watercolors, oils, tex-

tiles, illuminated lanterns for the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade, woodcarving, and more.

Painter Jason Reynolds loves working at Arts on the Greenway.

“It’s a place where people can see how far creativity can go,” he said.

Jane Newsom is another Arts on the Greenway tenant who recycles everything from cereal boxes to scrap paper to make her creations.

“I use anything that would end up in a junkyard,” she Stephanie McLaughlin and one of her beautiful watercolors. said.

A big project that’s going on at Arts on the Greenway is the creation of a huge blanket made from hand crocheted squares. The blanket will be placed at the City of Mt. Holly Christmas tree in December.

“It will take nearly 800 squares for the 15-foot tall tree,” McLaughlin said.

Since a large part of the Massey Bldg. has an industrial look and feel, it is perfect for tenant members who create “hot art” such as ceramic firing, glass-blowing, and metal sculpting.

As things progress at the Arts on the Greenway artist Jane Newsom and a book she creMassey Building, the Art ated from scrap materials.

The group plans to hold several of those in the coming months. A recent event saw folks get together and begin work on their Mt. Holly Lantern Parade creations. Arts on the Greenway

Local wineries make great places to visit

By Alan Hodge September marks North Carolina’s official Wine and Grape Month and local wineries add to that significance.

To begin with, the wine and grape industry has a long heritage in our state adding tourism and product dollars to the economy as well as the aesthetic aspect of rolling hills of grape vines, rustic wineries, and of course, the wide variety of wines being created and enjoyed.

According to the North Carolina Dept. of Cultural Resources, it is believed that wine cultivation in our state goes back to the 1580s, when the first colonists cultivated the “mother vine” in Manteo.

It survives to this day and is the oldest known producing grape vine in the country.

Early North Carolina farmers embraced production of the grape, and the scuppernong and muscadine were popular varieties. They do well in the sandy soils of eastern North Carolina. Hybrid grape varieties are better suited to piedmont and western North Carolina. Early farmers raised grapes to provide fruit, jams and jellies, and wine for the family.

In the early 1800s, North Carolina was a national leader in wine production and in 1840 was the nation’s top wine producer. Thomas Jefferson favorably compared North Carolina wine to that of Europe. Our state was highly ranked until Prohibition and today still is among the country’s top 10 wine producers.

Today there are nearly 200 wineries in North Carolina, covering more than 2,000 acres. Frequently planted varieties include Cabernet

Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay, usually in the western part of the state.

There are several great wineries in our immediate vicinity.

Veronet Vineyards and Winery is the newest one in our area and scheduled to open any week now. It’s located at 1549 Ike Brooks Dr. near Kings Mountain.

According to the winery website, Veronet currently has 5 acres of land under vine, with plans to expand that number to just shy of 10 acres over the next several years. The vineyards are hand planted on well-drained soils, made up of tatum gravelly loam and Carolina clay; the gentle slopes and full sunshine on the 70-acre estate allow for a variety of different types of grapes to grow abundantly. Cool mornings and refreshing breezes contribute to our wonderful terroir, making the estate a perfect home for the Veronet vines.

Veronet takes a sustainable approach to its vineyard, limiting the use of herbicides and pesticides and using instead methods that are more environmentally friendly such as clay protectants and beneficial insects to combat nature’s grape and vine enemies (like Sharpshooters and caterpillars). You may see a few more weeds in the Veronet Vineyard compared to others, but the owners feel that is a small price to pay to not have high levels of nonsustainable elements in the soil.

The vineyard serves as the perfect frame for views of Crowders Mountain and The Pinnacle. Visit and admire

Veronet’s Cabernet Franc, Viognier, and Chambourcin vines.

Contact Veronet at veronetwine.com or call 704901-2490.

Another area winery is Baker Buffalo Creek Winery at 3521 Waco Fallston Rd. near Lawndale.

This winery’s website describes the land and business stating the vineyard is planted in the fertile soil of the rolling hills in Cleveland County. The vineyard takes its name from the Buffalo Creek that slowly winds through the property and the Baker family name that represents over 100 years of family ownership of this beautiful farmland.

The first grapes were planted in 2003 after the proprietors were inspired by their first visit to the vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties. The success of that initial harvest combined with the optimal North Carolina growing conditions led to the planting of nine additional acres. The vineyard supplies eight different grape varietals including red muscadine, chardonnay, scuppernong, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, Riesling, and traminette.

Baker Buffalo Creek Vineyard is a beautiful setting for wine tastings, special occasions, and outdoor events. The grounds include a historic century-old farmhouse, a fully restored mule barn, and the original milk house that now supports the winemaking operations and wine tasting facility. Owners Charles and Ann invite you to spend an afternoon sampling unique wines and enjoying the relaxing experi-

WoodMill Vineyard and Winery is located at 1350 Woodmill Winery Lane near Vale and specializes in Muscadine grape wine and other Muscadine products.

WoodMill Vineyard is approximately 1,100 feet above sea level and located on a plateau about 300 feet above and to the west of the piedmont region in North Carolina. The vineyard has a gradual northeastern slope,

constant air movement, and good soil drainage. WoodMill Vineyard started as a ½ acre planting of approximately 100 vines in the spring of 2001 and has constantly grown year-by-year to now consist of 14 acres and approximately 3500 vines.

Primary Muscadine varieties include Ison, Tara, Dixie Red, Nesbit, Carlos, Noble and Scuppernong.

At WoodMill Winery, the Muscadine harvest is typically at its’ peak between mid-to-late September. WoodMill Vineyard

provides a select variety of Muscadines with a seven-toeight week harvest window starting in early September and finishing in mid-to-late October.

WoodMill also has a nice venue for weddings and other events, offers tours of the site, and holds several special events during the year.

Emma Lineberger (pictured), a fifth grader at Rankin Elementary in Mt. Holly, developed a community service project to ensure that students who needed supplies were prepared for the start of school. As a part of the school’s safety patrol, Emma started “Emma’s Backpack Project” with a goal of filling new book bags with grade-level appropriate school supplies. She started out trying to fill five book bags with each book bag (and the correlating supplies) costing around $50. Emma reached out to friends, family, church members, and the community for financial support. Thanks to their generous donations, Emma was able to raise more than $4,000 and fill 80 book bags. Thank you, Emma, for supporting your classmates and proving that one fifth grader really can make a difference.

For Cramer a gutsy win and a tough loss

by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

The Cramer Storm football team moved to 1-1 after playing four games in a five day period.

Cramer’s first win was notched on Monday night when their game against Lincolnton was finished up after being postponed due to thunderstorms that rolled through the area last Friday night.

When that game was stopped the score was tied 7-7 with two minutes to go in the third quarter.

Cramer was getting ready for a go-ahead field goal when the game was called and was rescheduled for Monday night.

Head coach Ben McMillan had all weekend to think about what he wanted to do when play resumed.

Facing a fourth-and-five on the Lincolnton 17-yard line the Storm was in a good spot to try just about anything. Cramer could kick the field goal, try a fake field goal, or to just go for it.

“We have all kinds of things we can do,” McMillan said of the upcoming decision.

After weighing all the options McMillan made his decision.

When the Storm lined up it on Monday to start the game their formation confused the Lincolnton defense.

Based on what had been going in on Friday before the game was called Lincolnton thought Cramer was going to go for a field goal.

The problem for the Wolves was the Storm didn’t line up in field-goal formation.

McMillan had decided to go for it.

The confusion caught Lincolnton by surprise and they had to call a hasty timeout in an effort to regroup.

When Lincolnton lined back up they still weren’t prepared for what Cramer was going to do.

Cramer had three days to prepare for this play. Lincolnton had about 60 seconds.

The gamble paid off when Harrison Shropshire broke off a 12-yard run and a Cramer first down.

Shropshire’s run set up a Jackson Mammano 29-yard field goal.

As it turned out that field

goal was the final score of the game. The rest of the game turned into a defensive showdown with Cramer eventually coming out on top and walking away with a 10-7 win.

The Cramer offense finished the day with just under 200 yards of total offense.

Cramer QB quarterback Jackson Harrington went 3 for 9 for 13 yards.

De’Angelo Burton was the Storm’s top running back with 96 yards off of 16 carries.

The real story of this game was the play of the Cramer defense. The Storm defense limited Lincolnton to 125 yards of total offense and produced three turnovers.

“Our defense played really well,” coach McMillan said.

One player that made an impact was with sophomore defensive Arias Nash.

“He stood out,” McMillan said of Nash. “He made a lot of good plays for us. He had a sack and a few tackles for a loss.”

Nash ended the game with 14 tackles and one and a half sacks.

After the Lincolnton win, the Storm went to Fort Mill

SC to take on the Catawba Ridge Copperheads.

Offensive miscues hurt the Storm, forcing the team to leave South Carolina with a 19-12 loss.

“Offensively we made too many mistakes,” coach McMillan explained. “We moved the ball well at times, but we had some very untimely mistakes.”

Cramer had 214 yards of total offense against the Copperheads.

Cramers best offensive play was a 26-yard Eja Brice to Jonathan Brooks touchdown pass.

For Cramer, the silver lining of the Catawba Ridge game was the play of the defense. Once again the Storm defense stood tall.

“Our defense played really well,” McMillan added.

“The three scores they had came after we had given them a short field.”

In fact, the Copperheads offense only crossed the Cramer 50 yard line one time in the entire game.

This week the Storm will host the East Gaston Warriors in a non-conference matchup.

After 14-0 win over Lincolnton South Point preps for Patriotism Bowl

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

The South Point Red Raiders move to 1-1 after a 14-0 win over the Lincolnton Wolves on Friday night.

While the scoreboard told the story, it didn’t tell the whole story.

For South Point the Lincolnton game turned out to be a case of what you see isn’t always what you get.

In preparing for the game the South Point players re-

viewed tape of Lincolnton’s performance against Stuart Cramer.

The Red Raiders soon found that the team that showed up to play on Friday night wasn’t the same team they had seen on tape.

“I think we started a little slow,” head coach Adams Hodge said. “We were a little flat coming out. Lincolnton always plays better in their second game. They were better on the field compared to the tape.”

There was no score in the first quarter, but that all changed when South Point took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter when fullback Naseem Jones ripped off a 30yard touchdown run.

In third-quarter action South Point quarterback, Javus Davis scored from five yards out to make it 14-0 South Point.

The Davis TD proved to be the final points of the game.

In the end, the Red Raiders rolled out 302 yards of

total offense against Lincolnton. Most of that coming from the ground game.

South Point’s top offensive performer was Naseem Jones who had 127 yards off of 20 carries and a touchdown.

On the defensive side of the board, the Red Raiders limited the Lincolnton offense to 164 yards of total offense.

In the trenches, the Red Raiders crippled the Wolves ground game. Lincolnton only mustered 63 yards off 24 carries.

Many pundits would have expected South Point to have won by a larger margin. In a

work on. However, he is also happy with Friday night’s end result.

“At the end of the day we won the game,” Hodge said. “They never scored. We fought hard and we won the

game.”

This week’s cautionary tale on preparation couldn’t come at a better time.

This week the Red Raiders will be hosting the 2-0 Clover See SOUTH POINT, Page 18

In fact, game prep is a point that coach Hodge intends to drive home this week.

“We need to do a better job getting ready,” Hodge went on to say. “No matter who we face. We just can’t watch the tape. We have to work harder then we did. We can’t worry about who we’re playing we just need to be prepared.”

The coache’s comments reflect the fact that he knows what his team is capable of.

Hodge is pushing for the team to stay focused and deliver their best.
