Refurbished water tank to mark Belmont River District

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Folks driving through East Belmont on Catawba St. have probably noticed some interesting activity involving the water tank at Catawba River Antique Mall.

For the past couple of weeks, workers from Hickory-based Custom Coatings have been sandblasting, painting, and structurally beefing up the once rusty tank in preparation for an exciting logo that will grace its side. The image will depict folks paddling canoes on the Catawba River with the words “River District” in large letters.

Credit for having the tank painted, and picking up the $100,000 tab, goes to D.J. Toal who owns the former Majestic Mill building that's now home to the antique mall, and the tank. He also owns Bisque Imports in North Belmont and Slumpy's glass mold company that's located just a bit further down Catawba St. from the tank and mall.

What prompted Toal to tackle the tank project?

“It is an historical landmark,” he said.

“There are a lot of folks who connect with it and love it. I do too. It is a link to Belmont's past.”

According to Belmont's city manager, Adrian Miller, Toal has made a great contribution to the community.

Light rail idea a rerun in our area

By Alan Hodge

alan.bannernews@gmail.com

A couple of weeks ago, August 21, a crowd of about 200 people gathered at Gaston College in Belmont to hear ideas for bringing light rail service to our area. The proposal would extend the current Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) LYNX light rail system across the Catawba River into Belmont and maybe to Gastonia.

Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Senior Transportation Planner Jason Lawrence made the presentation, noting that the Gaston County meeting had drawn a bigger audience than any of the previous meetings in Charlotte.

Lawrence emphasized that Belmont’s newly hired downtown director Phil Boggan is getting himself acclimated to the city and eager to meet local citizens. consideration of the West CorPhoto by Alan Hodge ridor line is in its early plan-

ning phase, and the purpose of the meetings are to gather public comment before completing the initial planning, design, funding and other considerations.

He noted that since funding has been secured to replace the Wilkinson Boulevard bridge in the next few years, makes this the ideal time to develop future light rail plans that can be incorporated into the bridge design.

Many questions and comments from the audience demonstrated a high level of support for the service, tempered by an understanding it will be years before a light rail system can be built to the airport and across the See LIGHT RAIL page 4

Phil Boggan hired as new downtown Belmont director

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

The City of Belmont has hired Phil Boggan as its new downtown director. Boggan replaces Vicky Davis who resigned a couple of months ago.

Boggan took his post about two weeks ago.

“We are pleased and excited to have Phil on our team,” said Belmont’s plan-

ning director Shelley DeHart.

“He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that is sure to continue the upward development of our local main street program.”

A native of Elba, Alabama, Boggan lived and worked in Louisiana before moving to his current home in Charlotte five months ago.

Boggan explained how he found North Carolina and Belmont.

“I recently moved to Charlotte from Louisiana for a quality of life change,” Boggan says. “Over the last five years I fell in love with the natural beauty of North Carolina. My family and I have vacationed at the beaches in Ocracoke and Duck, as well as, the mountains near Asheville and Blowing Rock. I was at a point in my career that after sixteen years of working for the State of Loui-

siana’s Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism / Office of Cultural Development, I was ready to explore other adventures and cultures, predominantly in North Carolina.”

Boggan said he became aware of Belmont after visiting some of our local restaurants and attending events such as Garibaldifest.

OPINION Saying goodbye to an old friend

Well, a couple of weeks ago Sharon and I said goodbye to an old friend we had known for 30 years.

He's gone to live with a nice family named Towery in Lawndale. For those of you who do not know it, Lawndale is a little community in Cleveland County on NC182 nestled between Fallston and Polkville.

Anyway, it was hard to see the old boy leave our driveway and go around the bend and up the hill towards his new residence. I have to say I was “choked up” for a minute Alan Hodge Banner-News Editor but knew he was going to a good home.

Actually, the old friend is the four wheel drive 1988 Isuzu Trooper that we sold. We bought it brand new because we live at the end of a dead end road at the bottom of a hill and every time it snows even two flakes we could not get out. The Trooper goes in snow like you are on dry ground.

We drove that vehicle 277,000 miles and thanks to my cousin John Clayton who used to own Carolina Auto Repair, Al and Jeff at A&A Automotive, my own wrenching, and frequent oil changes it still ran great.

We had a lot of adventures and trips in that Trooper. We did that Civil War reenacting thing for 17 years and drove the Trooper to every major battlefield on the east coast. We took it to the mountains countless times. Once we had an older couple, Ken and Vera Butler from the village of Peene, Folkstone, England, come visit and we loaded them in the Trooper and took them to Cherokee and Pigeon Forge.

The Trooper only had two doors and I had to “help” Vera get up and in the backseat at every stop by way of a discreet but firm push. We took Ken and Vera to a fish camp and Ken held up a hushpuppy and asked the waitress “I say, what's this bit?”

The Trooper was a Blue Ridge Parkway veteran. Once we got caught in fog on the top of Mt. Pisgah and it was so thick you could not see past the hood. We used it to trailer our motorcycle to Linville Falls parking lot and then ride the bike to Mt. Mitchell.

The Trooper knew the way to the coast. We drove it on the sand road going to Federal Point past Fort Fisher and went through a tidal pool that was knee deep. The Trooper went in the water and out like it was nothing. We took it to Myrtle Beach time and time again.

We bought a canoe and put it on top of the Trooper and carried it to a lot of lakes and rivers. I carried everything from bags of cement to boards in the back. It could haul anything you could strap on top or load in the back.

Over the 30 years we had it, the Trooper only conked out twice.

Once for a fuel pump and later for an ignition woe. It was simple and sturdy and never failed to start. It was a throwback to the days when a person could work on their own vehicle. Those days are gone.

Yes, we were sad to see the Trooper go, but it was time for us to get a newer car- a 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4WD- that I plan to drive “for the duration”. Doing the math, if the Toyota lasts as long as the Trooper I will be 96 years old when it comes time to trade again but I don't think my next vehicle will be a truck. Hopefully it will be a golden chariot if you get my drift.

TODAY’S QUOTE: “To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall.”

– Ann Patchett

John McCain - Chart At this point, only a a New Course Taylor Swift song can I respected Senator John McCain.

I loved him as a war hero and a fellow American who served his country in an astounding way. Few people in our country will ever accomplish all that McCain accomplished in his life. He served his counGlenn Mollette try in the military, suffered as a prisoner of war and became one of the most respected United States Senators in our nation's history.

He also came to my hometown of Inez, Kentucky when he was campaigning for President in 2008. I am told the one sight he wanted to see up the road in our town of Martin county was the house that President Lyndon B. Johnson visited in 1964. Johnson put our county on the map and one of our families as the "poster child" of American poverty. He and his entourage visited a family with the promise of lifting them and all poor American families out of poverty. The man he visited died about as poor as or poorer than he was the day Johnson visited him.

John McCain had a good heart to come to Martin County. He respected our poor county enough to consider that our votes were important enough to extend some effort and energy our way. I have to appreciate anyone who shows this kind of respect for average folks.

I've been to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. It's a stately, regal place and a national treasure. The campus is unreal and to be buried in that special cemetery is only a place where our nation's most honored and respected will ever be buried.

I've never heard of a Prisoner of War that wanted to be caught and tortured. All POWs are caught as best as I know. Being a POW is not a vacation or anything pleasant that anybody would ever want to endure from everything I've ever heard or read about.

My wife's grandfather was a POW in the Philippines. He suffered at the hands of the Japanese for four very long years. He was forced with 80,000 others to walk the 65 mile Bataan Death march and barely survived it. Thousands died on that walk. All in some way were horribly abused. His imprisonment was something he couldn't emotionally talk about. When he finally got back home to the United States he weighed less than 90 pounds.

When he got home he was met by his wife and two daughters - one daughter that was not quite four years old that he had never seen before. He moved his family to Long Island where he worked construction for a long time. He never received any parades. He was never elected to public office nor did he ever run for office. He lived a quiet life, died of lung cancer at age 65 and was buried by his family and friends who celebrated his life but without any national attention. His name was Lyle Harlow. He was a Prisoner of War. He was an American hero.

Possibly, for a little while, all of us as Americans could just shut up and stop insulting and hurting each other. I realize in political rhetoric it's all about the Limbo, how low can you go it seems. It's not making us better in America.

We will forever hear the sound bite that came from the lips of Senator McCain about President Barack Obama when one naysayer of Obama was critical and McCain corrected her saying, "No Ma'am he's a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about. " Surely, heaven and earth all applauded and were astounded that day by John McCain. May it be that kind of speech and behavior that wows us and charts the course of this nation.

save me I need you to raise your right hand and repeat after me. Are you ready. Let’s go.

“I (insert your name)”. No don’t say, “insert your name.” Ok. Let’s start over. I (insert your name) will “never, ever, ever, ever (thank you Taylor Swift) never ever let Tony order lasagna.”

I am a lasagna snob. My mother taught my wife to make lasagna. She makes a killer lasagna. Then I go out for Tony Marciano a meal and see lasagna on the menu. I believe it will be like my wife’s lasagna. This is how the conversation goes: Tony – “Is your lasagna frozen or homemade?”

Waitress – “It’s homemade.”

Tony – “How tall is it?

Waitress – “It’s tall.”

Then I take my thumb and index finger and create a space between the two fingers to calculate the height of the lasagna. With fingers separated, I ask, “is it this tall?” to which the waitress replies, “Yes, it is that tall.” Once I got such a small portion of lasagna, I felt like I was in the hamburger commercial of decades ago which asked, “Where’s the beef?” I asked, “Where’s the lasagna?”

On my last stroll down the path of ordering “bad lasagna” I almost choked on the amount of excessive mozzarella that was on top of the lasagna. I think they forgot to put the layers of ricotta in the lasagna.

My wife just rolls her eyes when I order lasagna. My son Ed begs me not to order the lasagna. He reminds me that I “never, ever, ever, ever” approve of the lasagna I order. Over and over, he reminds me it’s not like Mom’s lasagna.

Do the waitresses lie? No. I grew up in a town outside of New York City where many Italian immigrants landed after coming through Ellis Island. While you may have left your furniture in Italy, you brought you lasagna pan with you. There was a lot of competition between those who were first born in America and how you made your lasagna. Traditionally, it had crumbled up sausage and meatballs in it. Then someone committed a heresy. They made a “meatless” lasagna. Aunts and uncles rolled their eyes about this idea. After we tasted it, we found it was really good. You could taste the creaminess of the ricotta.

One more thing; when you take the lasagna out of the oven, it has to sit for at least a half hour if not longer. It allows the ricotta to set. A restaurant doesn’t have that luxury. They heat up a piece of refrigerated lasagna and get it to the customer as quick as possible.

Each time I order lasagna, I keep believing I will receive something that is what I want it to be. Yet, I’m always disappointed. I should know better.

There is a Scripture verse that says, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end, it leads to death.” Don’t write me a letter, but can I change it to say, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to bad lasagna.” Just because you want to believe something to be true doesn’t mean it will be good. I need to listen to the people in my life who love me and want the best for me.

They are not trying to hurt me. They are trying to help me avoid the pain of bad lasagna.

Taylor Swift sang it so well. I will “never, ever, ever, ever, ever” allow Tony to order lasagna at a restaurant.

Through partnership with NCDOT Bicycle & Pedes-trian Division, the City of Mt. Holly is beginning to develop a Comprehensive Bicycle Plan. As the planning process evolves over the next year, the goal of the plan is to identify how bicycle users in and around Mount Holly are impacted and impacting Mount Holly.

Through a public input process the public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on how bicycling can improve workforce development, economic development and healthy living through recreation as well as the areas these accommodations would be best. For example, the Highway 273 widening project by NCDOT will have a 5-foot wide bicycle lane on each side of the road.

The first opportunity for public input will be at a Public Workshop on Tuesday, September 25 from 5:30-7:30 PM. The drop-in format workshop will be located in the Council Chambers at the Municipal Complex.

WATER TANK from page 1 “The City of Belmont is grateful that the team at Bisque Imports chose to clean and repaint the water tank at the Catawba River Antique Mall on East Catawba Street,” said Miller. “This tank has been out of use for several years and had grown rusty and had become an eyesore. Our community is fortunate to have business leaders like Toal who care about our community and who are willing to invest their properties. The new paint scheme takes a modern look on a part of our textile heritage, which is symbolic of a lot of the reuse and redevelopment of older buildings that has occurred around Belmont over the past 20 years.”

The tank will not only look better, it will be part of marketing that end of Belmont.

“Toal approached the City to see if there was interest in paying for a branding effort on the face of the water tank,” Miller said. “The city council approved the logo for the River District that represents people canoeing on the Catawba River. This $15,000 investment from the City is small compared to the six-figure investment made by the owner. The new paint scheme and logo will help the City to promote the River District as an active and hip place to be. The River District is a component of the

City’s Main Street program and is intended to incorporate the Catawba River as a community amenity. Locals refer to this area as East Belmont or East End, and the River District is not replacing these names. It is promoting the wonderful asset that we have in the river.”

The tank and mill/antique mall building has an important place in the history of Belmont.

According to the book The Textile Heritage of Gaston County North Carolina 1848-2000

by Robert Ragan, Majestic Manufacturing Company was the third spinning mill built in Belmont by R. L. Stowe, S.-P. Stowe and A. C. Lineberger. It was incorporated September 27, 1907, by Stowe Brothers 250 shares, A. C. Lineberger 250 shares, T. W. Springs 300 shares, W. B. Puett 150 shares and F. P.

Lineberger was elected the first president of the company and was in charge of overall manufacturing as he had been in the first two mills. Samuel P. "Pinck" Stowe was placed in charge of this mill as secretary, treasurer and buyer. It represented his initial entrance into the manufacturing partnership on an active basis, having previously been in charge of Stowe Brothers Mercantile Company. C. E. Bean became the Majestic's first superintendent.

The mill was a modern one-story brick structure, 125 x 340 feet in size. Stuart W. Cramer of Charlotte was hired as the architect-engineer in charge, and as agent for the Whitin Machine Works, the machinery was purchased from that company. A. K. Loftin of Lincolnton, N.C., was awarded the construction contract.

LIGHT RAIL from page 1

Catawba River into Gaston County.

But wait. At one time, our area had light rail before light rail was cool.

The history of electric powered passenger trains in eastern Gaston County goes back to the early part of the 20th century. The story begins with the Piedmont Traction Company that established a route between Charlotte and Gastonia in 1912. The track electrified to 1,500 volts DC with power supplied from mainly hydroelectric sources. Additionally both segments were built to steam road standards.

In 1914 the name was changed to Piedmont and Northern Railway, also known as P&N. The P&N tracks between Gastonia and Charlotte stretched for 24 miles. There was a three mile spur line to Belmont that operated from 1916 to the early

Nutrition program planned

1930s.

Other stops on the P&N between Gastonia and Charlotte included Mount Holly, North Belmont, McAdenville, Lowell, and Ranlo.

The Piedmont and Northern Railroad was the brain-

child of William States Lee, vice-president of Southern Power and Utilities Company. In 1909 he proposed to James B. Duke, president of Southern Power, that the company construct an “electrically powered interurban railway system linking the major cities of the Piedmont Carolinas.” Duke supported the project because he be-

lieved it would stimulate the industrialization of the Piedmont. The railroad would create “a mill a mile,” proclaimed its supporters.

The trolley was an important means of transportation to work for mill employees, most of whom did not own a car or have access to a bus.

Unlike similar interurban systems the P&N survived

the Great Depression and was later absorbed into the Seaboard Coastline Railroad (CXS) in 1969. Once part of CXS, the Gaston County tracks are now owned by the NC Dept. of Transportation.

When more and more people began to drive cars, the trolley service ended.

Some of the electric locomotives were shipped to South America, the rest were junked.

Only four of the stations built for the P&N, designed

by Charles Christian Hook, are still in existence today in

North Carolina.

The Thrift depot in the Paw Creek community in Charlotte is the only remaining P&N station in Mecklenburg County.

In Gaston County three are still around. The depot in Mount Holly is currently used as a business location.

The fP&N depot in Belmont is currently the home to South Main Cycles. The former P&N station in Gastonia burned down in 1995.

Lastly, the small depot of McAdenville is still standing.

BOGGAN from page 1

“Belmont is such a cute community,” he said.

Boggan comes to Belmont with a metric ton of experience in civic and academic arenas. He has a Masters of Historic Preservation from Tulane University School of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in drafting and education from the University of West Alabama. He has worked in a leadership capacity for the State of Louisiana Dept. of Culture, Tourism, Recreation, and Tourism. He was director of the Louisiana Main Street program and ramrodded the Main Street involvement in rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He has served on many boards including the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation, the Rural Life Museum, Louisiana Folk The South Main Cycles building started life as a depot for the P&N electric train that ran in our Life Commission, and the Foundation for Historical Louisiana to name a few. area in the early 20th century.

Alan Hodge photo Boggan’s Renaissance man like resume’ also shows he’s been a school teacher, tennis champion, nationally ranked cheerleader instructor, winning basketball coach, and traveled internationally studying historic preservation in places like Cuba and Mexico.

Boggan is ready to begin putting his vast experience, and love of historic preservation, to good use in Belmont.

But first, he wants to get to know the folks.

“I am interested in getting a feel for the city,” he said. “I want to understand the people,” Boggan has already started looking at East Belmont’s potential as a gateway for the city as the “River District”.

“I want to start working on that right away,” he said. “Revitalizing that area all the way down to the river will build on the hard work that the people who live there have already done.

I see the River District as a great hub of activity.”

Boggan is also interested in boosting the arts in Belmont.

“Belmont is such an exciting and vibrant community,” he said. “I want to elevate the number of cultural and arts events we have here.”

Overall, Boggan sees great things in Belmont’s future and wants to help make them happen.

“Belmont has a beautiful downtown,” he said “I want to see the city become not just a local destination, but a regional one as well.”

Banner-News Obituaries

Anthony Franklin (Tony) Pack Anthony Franklin (Tony) Pack, age 80, of Winston-Salem, passed away on August 29 of COPD and dementia.

Tony was born on August 14, 1938, in Belmont, N.C., to Gurley and Myra Simpson Pack. He graduated from Belmont High School in 1956 where he played on the Red Raiders basketball and baseball teams, and played trumpet in the band. He was accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy, but was disappointed that he was unable to attend due to his eyesight.

After graduation, he attended Belmont Abbey for one year, Appalachian State University, and graduated from Texas Christian University in 1960, thanks to the generosity of his Uncle Bill.

In 1959 Tony joined the N.C. National Guard and entered active duty in the U.S Army at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, and then served in the N.C. Army Reserves for six years.

In August 1962, he married Shirley Bridges and they had two children, Wade and Elizabeth Pack.

In 1961 Tony moved to Winston-Salem where he was manager for Appliance Buyers Credit Corporation and then went to work for Ed Kelly’s Appliances. Later he became an insurance agent for Mutual of New York and Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Co., where he became a member of the Million Dollar Roundtable. He later returned to Ed Kelly’s where he worked for Jerry Hayes, who he loved working with and affectionately called “The Hawk.” He was a lifetime salesman, working for Lowes Hardware in High Point and Winston-Salem, and Sears at Hanes Mall, where he retired in 2000.

Tony was a loyal Democrat and especially admired John F, Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. He was an avid golfer and was happiest on the links with his son Wade. Their trips to the Masters in Augusta were very special to Tony. He was a lifelong supporter of Duke basketball (and sometimes football, depending on how they were playing), the Boston Red Sox, and later enjoyed cheering for Virginia Tech and Alabama football (Roll Tide!).

He also loved horses and horse racing and one of his favorite trips was touring horse country in Kentucky with his best friend Rick Hodges. He was a huge fan of Neil Diamond and many years ago said that his one last request would be that “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” be played at his funeral.

On New Year’s Eve 1989, Tony married the love of his life, Judie Holcomb. He was most proud of his children and grandchildren, Wade Pack and wife, Wendy, and Johnathan and Ryan Pack of Kernersville, N.C.; Dr. Elizabeth Pack of Boiling Springs, N.C.; James (Jay) McFaddin and wife, Dr. Lisa Pinn McFaddin, and James IV (JJ) of Bristow, Va.; and Ethan and Eden Snead of Bristol, Tenn.

Tony enjoyed vacations to Myrtle Beach, especially at Thanksgiving, where he ate his weight in steamed oysters.

He was a smooth dancer and enjoyed shagging with Judie.

He kept the Saturday Morning Coffee Group amused with his humorous quips and stories of his youth. He was known for his coleslaw, frequently requested at potluck dinners. He will be forever remembered for taking friends on road trips to Keaton’s Barbecue.

He spent most of his life as a Methodist, but was later confirmed Episcopalian at St. Timothy’s where he enjoyed ushering for many years. He also volunteered at Crisis Control Ministry, working on Hope du Jour and CROP Walk. Tony was a member of St. Anne’s Episcopal Church where services were held by Rev. Ginny Wilder, rector, with a luncheon and celebration of life in the Kennedy Parish Hall following the service.

The family would especially like to thank Donna, Suzette, Sayward, and Tony’s Hospice care team for their loving support during his illness.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Anne’s Episcopal Church, Trellis Supportive Service (formerly Hospice Palliative CareCenter) or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Online condolences may be made at www.twincitycremations.com.

Terry Traywick

Ret. MSGST Terry (Ted) Traywick, born August 10, 1928 passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a brief illness on Wednesday, August 22, 2018. He was 90 years young.

Born to Howard & Faye Traywick in Belmont, NC he was the oldest of six children, including Dorothy Mauldin (deceased), Billie Kaye Acker (De- ceased), Lyda Stephens, Frank Traywick, and Nancy Eller.

Ted leaves behind his wife of nearly 68 years, Marcia Jean Traywick; four loving children, Timothy Traywick (Cin- dy), Anna Wilson (Neil), Thomas Traywick (Debbie), Barbara Naughton (Kevin), and a son-in-law, Mark Granville, 10 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandchild.

He was preceded in death by a daughter, Amy GranvilleSmith.

Ted served 24 years in the Marine Corps where he was part of an elite group, formed toward the end of WWII, called the “China Marines”. In addition, he worked 20 years for the Marine Corp Assoc. as their Business Manager, publishing the “Leatherneck” and “Marine Corps Gazette”, and building a strong Association for the Marine Corps.

His views were witty, wry, humorous, and true. He enjoyed any and all games of chance. He will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, you may send donations to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 18825 Fuller Heights Rd., Triangle, Va., 22172.

The family received friends from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, where a funeral service began at 11:00 a.m. Burial followed at 1:00 p.m. in Quantico National Cemetery with full military honors. A reception followed at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.

Condolences may be shared online with his family at www. foundandsons.com.

Park St. UMC Belmont will be having its annual Potato Drop event Sept. 22nd starting at 8am.

The church joins with other local United Methodist Churches, and the Society of Saint Andrew to distribute 40,000 pounds of potatoes bagged into 10lb bags and distributed to local food banks, agencies, and individuals who would like to receive them. This will be the second year doing this event and it was a huge success last year. It is quite a sight to see that many potatoes in one place.

Working for God This past Monday we celebrated Labor Day. We celebrated through a day of rest, family, and relaxation, the ability to work and provide for our families. We are honored to live in a nation with low unemployment, and the ability to have a job for those seeking one. As important as it is to have employment for our daily lives, do you realize that as Christ followers, we work for God? We as Christians are co-laborers for the kingdom of God, working each day to lead others to Jesus Christ as we grow more like Him. In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus gives a parable of the vineyard owner. Jesus told of a man who owned a vineyard, and went into town seeking day laborers to work in his fields.

Early in the morning he found men to go work for a denarius, a day’s wage. He went back into town about nine o’clock, and later at noon to hire more workers. He went back at three o’clock to hire once again. Finally at the eleventh hour, five o’clock, he went into town and found some men standing around.

He asked them why they were just standing, and they said no one had hired them all day.

He hired them for the last hour of the work day. At the end of the day the owner had his steward pay the men, starting at those who were hired last. He paid them a denarius.

Those who were hired early expected more since these men were paid for an entire day.

Shockingly to them, they were paid the same denarius. They became upset, yet the owner reminded them that they all were hired for the same wage, and it was his good pleasure to pay them the same.

In the parable, we see the owner represents God, and the workers are us. Whether we have been Christians for years, or just received Christ, we are all part of His kingdom. Rev. Trent Rankin It does not matter when Salvation Church we come to Christ, just Gastonia, NC as long as we do! We salvationchurchnc.org see like the owner, that salvationchurchnc@gmail.com God does not look at people based on who they are, or where they are from. God looks at the heart, loving all.

God pours His grace out on us equally, just as the owner paid everyone the same, no matter if they had earned it or not. God loves us based on His grace for us, not our merit. Jesus Christ died for us all.

Jesus said at the end of the parable, “So the last will be first, and the first last” (Matthew 20:16, NKJV). As He spoke, He knew many of the religious leaders hearing Him would reject Him and His message, they were the first in their eyes. However, many who were sinners, those looked down upon by society, would gladly receive Him. Just as those who were hired last gladly went and worked, those considered the last will be first. Jesus said “Many are called, but few chosen” (Matthew 20:16, NKJV). Many will reject Jesus, but those who are broken, hopeless, in the eleventh hour of their lives will gladly receive.

Will you receive Jesus today? Will you work for Him?

Prosperity Follows Caring Have you ever watched how Native Americans taught themselves to carefully move through a forest nary breaking a dry leaf or leaving a footstep? Those are skills largely lost on us today but even as I ply my way through the woods on my property I have to be careful where I walk. When I take my grandchildren with me they’ll often ask me why we make our way so slowly so often. Two answers are veneration and interest. Respect for what the Lord has made and interest in biology around Dennis Siracusa us. But more to our point today it’s because of Spiritual Gardening caution. I’ve told my grandchildren that our woods are an old forest. Dead standing trees, dead branches ready to fall and root holes covered with debris all represent hazards to watch out for. But in calling our woods an “old forest” is that really true?

An Old Growth Forest is a virgin, primeval woodland without significant disturbance. Oh, my woods have vestiges of Old Growth Forest typology but my woods are by no means primeval or ancient. In J.R.R Tolkein’s trilogy The Hobbit, the Old Forest was an ancient woodland on the Eastern border of the Shire and it played an enormously heroic role in the history of middle earth. My woods are just woods with lots of tall trees. Still there is a respect and responsibility that goes hand in hand with owning them and caring for them.

In Psalms 37:25 King David says “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” NIV When God chose and established the nation of Israel, he sought a people who would respect and follow Him. He also gave them laws governing conduct and character that would distinguish them from any of the other nations. In David’s experience his nation took care of the old, disabled, or circumstantially economically disadvantaged. Where other pagan nations had droves of street beggars, poor and disabled forsaken and left to die miserable deaths, Israel had little or none.

When we study the scripture verse above, the Hebrew actually offers a slightly different slant. It says “I was youthful and now am mature in my walk, …..” David did the best he could to love, honor and follow His Lord.

Our constitution says “all men are created equal,” and the laws God gave Israel predated our constitution but undergirds the “equality” we seek. When David was young and brash, and older and spiritually mature he noted a connection between caring and God prospering as a nation.

“Life is a Journey,” and a complicated one. Our infinite God has laid out rules for us, and is constantly involved in our lives. The caring choices America takes certainly have opened doors of blessings for us. I saw a church sign the other day that said “God Will Bless Us If We Stop Legalizing Sin,” and if we think about it, that certainly is true. Don’t you think too, that God will continue to prosper us if we practice, consistent caring? Shouldn’t we seek both; blessings and prosperity?

By Lee H. Hamilton If you take a dim view of our political parties, you’re in sterling company. So did George Washington.

In his famous Farewell Address, he warned against “the baneful effects of the spirit of [political] party.” It’s safe to say he was not a fan.

So it’s with some trepidation that I want to speak up in favor of political parties. They are the best stage I know for broad economic, political, and social change. It’s hard for me to imagine a democracy without them.

We live in a very different country from the one George Washington led. The United States today is not just geographically bigger, but immeasurably larger in both population and diversity.

And that’s where our two great parties, for the most part, have excelled: they accommodate different interests, opinions, and views. Our system does not have enough consensus-building mechanisms; the parties are crucial to this.

Of course, more than building consensus within a party is needed. Even though the American people prefer bipartisanship, the parties too often prefer to lambast each other. But legislation passed on a party line vote rarely stands the test of time.

Our parties also play a lubricating role in the mechanisms of democracy. They get out the vote and educate voters. They choose, train, and promote candidates who are (for

the most part) worthy of holding public office. In short, they’re a personnel system for government office.

I am a member of a party, and have certainly been disappointed in its performance on occasion. And I cringe when I hear a member of either party express hatred or accuse the other party of disloyalty. Both parties are patriotic, both want the best for their country — even if they have different ideas about what “best” means. That’s part of the democratic dialogue, after all.

George Washington was right, of course, in pointing out some of the risks of people joining together to form organized parties.

But he didn’t fully recognize their role as consensus-builders — their concern with transcending differences and political factionalism and arriving at stances designed to appeal to political majorities both in elections and in legislatures. The most successful party officials I know have made consensusbuilding a priority, both within their own parties and across partisan lines. In a country as diverse and divided as ours, that’s not a baneful effect at all.

Death of a Landmark

by Shelton Fisher When I heard the news of its demolition, the blow was as crushing as that of the backhoe. Across the county, we all have probably driven past the house at some point in our lives and some of us may have even sneaked inside, attempting to stir supposed specters that were rumored to live there. The first “sighting” occurred in 2002, when a haunted house worker burst through the front door as if in a Scooby-Doo cartoon after claiming to see a woman in a white gown inside. From that point forward, our beloved Spencer Mountain Mansion would forever be known as a haunted landmark. After seeing pictures and videos on Facebook of the wreckage soon to be cleared away without a trace, I began to think heavily about the house. Aside from its haunted reputation, I had never heard anything of its actual history. When it was built, who owned it, and if anyone lived there were all mysteries to me… Until now.

I began research at the Gaston County Library, and with the vast knowledge and much appreciated help of Xina Lowe, James Anderson, and Brian Brown, a treasure trove of information fell into the palm of my hand. With each visit, Brian had a new document to share that would fill in another piece of this historical puzzle. So, without further ado, here is a brief history you may or may not know about the Spencer Mountain Mansion.

Born in 1859, William Thomas Love was a Gaston County native who was born on a farm close to Gastonia. Growing up on farming wages, he saved enough money to take a business course in New York and qualified to become a bookkeeper at a young age. He moved to McAdenville during its early creation in 1882

to work for McAden Mills first as chase Spena clerk and eventually becoming a cer Mills, bookkeeper. As time progressed he the house worked for his uncle R.C.G. Love at would conhis mill in Mount Holly, which in- tinue to spired him to become more involved f l o u r i s h in textiles. In 1899, he and John C. as well as Rankin purchased Spencer Mills Duke Power along with the land that came with it. p u r c h a s e d Shelton Fisher The strange thing about this from Love’s house is that to the best of my find- sons, then transitioning to R.L.

Letter to the editor A Message from Danny Jackson, Mt. Holly City Manager Hello Citizens, Hope all is well you these days. I pray that favor is yours in all that you do. Speaking of favor, I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to work for an organization that employs such good people that they are willing to go beyond their normal call of duty to extend extra service to others in our city. I just want to give examples of that service and express my appreciation. First of all, thank you in advance for allowing me to bring attention to this matter of customer service.

Recently, a gentleman and his disabled son were traveling through Mount Holly and experienced a car breakdown.

I won’t share names because I don’t have permission to do so, but we had members of our Police and Fire Departments personally help this gentleman and his son by buying gas two separate times because the vehicle still wouldn’t start, calling a

tow truck that had a special type of equipment whereby the disabled son did not have to get out of the vehicle while being towed, and paying for the tow to the guy’s home in another city in Gaston County. All of this was done on a personal basis by these wonderful city employees.

Recently, there was an employee that suffered a medical event that was witnessed by fellow employees that led to action on their part to help the employee get quick medical attention.

This action, in my humble opinion, had a very positive impact on the outcome of the medical event. Again, these employees went beyond the call of duty to affect someone’s life in a very positive manner. By the Grace of God all is well with everyone.

I constantly, including recently, get messages about the extra effort that our employees with the Streets & Solid Waste Department put

forth in the name of quality customer service. The employees will act quickly to remove fallen trees from the streets for the sake of safety.

The employees will pick up extra debris and bulk items for the sake of cleanliness and health.

The above also shows how employees can even work with other departments to provide high quality customer service to fellow employees and outside customers. City employees are to be commended for what they do and it speaks to their character as people, especially when they go beyond the call of duty.

I want to thank our citizens for taking the time to recognize our employees for what they do. It means a great deal to me to actually be notified of the great work and to pass it along to those that deserve the recognition.

Here’s wishing all of you a great month of September.

Gaston Schools Good News More than 1,100 teachers and school administrators attended the Gaston County Schools Teaching and Learning Conference on August 6-7 at Gaston College. The conference featured keynote speakers, professional development seminars, and other activities designed to prepare teachers and others for the upcoming school year.

A group of elementary, middle school, and high school teachers participated in the “Educators in the Workplace” summer program, which is a partnership among Gaston County Schools, the Gaston Regional Chamber, and local businesses. Participants were given an opportunity to learn more about the business community through visits to eight companies/ organizations: American & Efird, PSNC Energy, GSM Services, Lanxess, Beam Construction, Gaston County Sheriff’s Office, Pharr Yarns, and PNC Bank.

Gaston County Schools held two summer camps to provide academic enrichment opportunities for students: a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) program called the Summer Imaginarium Camp at Cramerton Middle School and a College Prep camp at Ashbrook High School. The camps were in addition to the Camp Achieve summer reading program that was conducted at seven school locations.

Cramerton Middle School teacher Britnee Reid was one of 224 teachers from across the country to be selected for the Honeywell Educators at Space Academy program.

She participated in 45 hours of classroom, laboratory, and training time during the five-day program, which focused on coding, science, and space exploration exercises, including astronaut training simulations. The program showcased new ideas, activities, and concepts for teachers to incorporate into their classrooms that help inspire

students to seek out careers and interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

Springfield Elementary first grader Emmett Medici is featured in a new promotional campaign for Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte. His mom, Jennifer Medici, is a teacher at Stanley Middle School.

The Holbrook Middle cheerleaders helped to celebrate the grand re-opening of McDonald’s at Franklin Square in Gastonia. As a thank-you gesture, McDonald’s gave $250 to the cheerleading squad.

Gaston County Schools’ Department for Exceptional Children created a sensory walk for students with visual impairments. The sensory walk involved the children experiencing different textures and terrain and describing what they felt with their feet and/or hands. Klingspor Abrasives donated the materials and offered to provide additional materials to create more sensory walks for children with special needs.

Michelle Ellis, a science teacher at Hunter Huss High School, was selected to participate in the Kenan Fellows Program for Teacher Leadership, which is the largest STEM-focused (science, technology, engineering, and math) teacher leadership program in North Carolina.

Scott Harrill, athletic director at Cherryville High School, was recognized by the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA) as a Certified Athletic Adminis-

trator (CAA). The voluntary certification process includes a thorough evaluation of a candidate’s educational background, experience, and professional contributions as well as a rigorous, comprehensive written exam.

Every year, Gaston County Schools awards the Paul F. Fuller Scholarship to one deserving senior who has been a part of the district’s mentoring program.

The 2018 winner is Tyler Zonin of North Gaston High School, who will use the money to study emergency medical care at Western Carolina University. For the first time, three trades and technical training scholarships (also named for Paul F. Fuller) were awarded through a partnership with the Noon Optimist Club of Gastonia.

The trades and technical training scholarship winners are Rodney Brooks and Angelica Huffstetler of Hunter Huss High School and Evan Summerlin of East Gaston High School.

The eighth annual “Back to School Bash” was held on August 4 at Woodhill Elementary School. The community program offered health assessments and screenings for children as well as appointments for vaccinations.

Children who completed the screening process received a book bag filled with school supplies.

York Chester Middle School is taking advantage of an outdoor adventure program called the “Grandfather Mountain Challenge” to help students learn about teamwork, building confidence and character, overcoming obstacles, experiencing a sense of personal accomplishment, and more. The school participated in the program last year for the first time and hopes to continue in the new school year ahead.

What the students learn from the program will help them to achieve more in the classroom and in life.

To celebrate the start of a new school year, the staff

Gaston County School Board member Lee Dedmon recently visited Holbrook Middle School in Lowell. This group of students and more were taking time to tidy up the campus for the first day of school.

Gaston Schools photo from Sherwood Elementary boarded a bus and distributed 1,000 new and used books to families living in neighborhoods near the school. The “Book Bus” also provided dual-language books for

Spanish-speaking students.

In addition to teachers, administrators, and parents from the school, members of the Ashbrook High girls’ volleyball team, Miss Gastonia’s Outstanding Teen Emily

Miller, who is a student at Highland School of Technology, and Gastonia Mayor Walker Reid went along on the “Book Bus” to greet children and parents at each stop.

NSF awards nearly $1 million to Gaston College The National Science Foundation (NSF) notified Gaston College today of a grant award in the amount of $972,598 for the project titled: SPARC3 Initiative: Alleviating Transfer Shock in Community College STEM Students.

The project is an expansion and scale-up of the SPARC3 program at Gaston College that has resulted in improved academic scores and associate degree completion for participating students.

“We are grateful for the faculty and staff who have provided leadership in the development of the project including Ashley Hagler,

Principal Investigator,” said Dr. Patricia Skinner, president of Gaston College.

The project is also supported by Dr. Melissa Armstrong, Dr. Virginie Maggiotti, and Dr. Heather Woodson, co-Principal Investigators.

During each year of the project, ten eligible students enrolled in a STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) Associate of Science (A.S) program at the College will be selected for a two-year scholarship and will participate in faculty and peer mentoring as well as targeted advising designed to promote successful transfer to a STEM degree program

at a four-year university.

Upon completion of the A.S. program, these students will be eligible for an additional one-year transfer scholarship to any four-year university to assist them in the completion of an approved STEM degree.

The project is the third NSF award to Gaston College to support the SPARC3 program since 2014. Since then, SPARC3 has awarded 74 scholarships to students pursuing a STEM degree, the majority of whom continue their education at a four-year institution after graduating from Gaston College.

Gaston County Public Library WOW Card enters second year Gaston County Public Library (GCPL) is proud to announce that its WOW Card program is entering its second year with Gaston County Schools. The WOW stands for “WithOut Walls,” meaning no barriers to educational opportunities. The Library partnered with GCS last year to introduce the pro-

gram, which aims to foster students’ success by ensuring each student has more access to the resources they need.

The WOW Card is a virtual card that students use to gain access to the Library’s countless electronic resources. With this card, students have access to free E-books from the NC Kids

Digital Library and NC Digital Library, can conduct research using NC Live, and learn a foreign language using Rocket Languages.

Over the summer, library staff members visited elementary, middle, and high schools to help teachers and school media specialists learn how

to better assist their students with the WOW Card and accessing GCPL resources. The introduction of this program has helped break down barriers that once existed and has given all students, no matter their socioeconomic background, the opportunity to access the resources they need to be successful in

school.

South Point rolls over Forestview 46-20

by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Despite some fourthquarter heroics Friday night’s football match up between Forestview and South Point went pretty much the Red Raiders way.

South Point scored 26 unanswered points in the first half and held off a late surge by the Jags to roll onto a 46-20 win.

The Red Raiders started rumbling early and Forestview just couldn’t come up with a way to seriously stop them.

Jahmani Leeper and Ray Grier put South Point on the scoreboard first when they hooked up on a 46-yard a touchdown pass.

In the second quarter Leeper and Grier did it again, this time on a 7-yard TD toss.

After the Leeper-Grier connection, Naseem Jones added to South Point’s lead with a 43 yard run.

The half ended with Grier showing some return skills. With under five minutes to go before halftime Grier made a stunning TD off a 63-yard punt return.

Forestview scored the first points of the third quarter, but South Point was still up 26-7. In other third quarter action Jamani Leeper scored for South Point when he pushed into the end zone on a 4-yard run.

The action in the fourth quarter was fast and furious

with both teams scoring alternating touchdowns. The Jaguars did their best to try to get back into the game.

However, the Red Raiders weren’t having any of that.

While Forestview was able to score they were not able to make a dent in the lead the South Point had already established. Everything Forestview did the Red Raiders countered and South Point held on for the win.

“We played good,” head coach Adam Hodge said.

“Not perfect but we played well.”

Coach Hodge was impressed with the way that his passing game came together.

Belmont University announces SOUTH POINT Summer 2018 Dean’s List From Page 14

The following students achieved the Dean’s List at Belmont University for the Summer 2018 session. Eligibility for the summer session is based on a minimum 9-hour load over 10 weeks and a quality grade point average of 3.5 with no grade

below a C. Nora DeWater of Mount Holly, Lindsay Gaston of Gastonia.

one of a selection of off-campus drop-in labs and workshops that are designed to give job-seekers more opportunities to learn and practice the skills needed to find the right job. There is no cost for eligible unemployed and underemployed individuals.

foundation needed to impress potential employers.

The CWE is pleased to offer the Basic Computer Technology and Occupational Effectiveness Lab as

“Ray Grier had a good night,” Hodge noted. “Jamani Leeper stepped in and played well. He played better than the first game where he was at quarterback.”

Coach Hodge was also satisfied with the performance of his offense and defense. “Overall we tackled better on defense,” Hodge went on to say. “We are not where we want to be but we keep improving.”

Leeper has done a good job subbing for the injured Hale. Leeper only threw five passes against Forestview, but two of them went for touchdowns. He also had two touchdowns running the ball.

Leeper on the quarterback keeper.

Speaking of running, the South Point offense had a solid ground game against the Jags racking up 341 yards.

The Red Raiders distributed the ball well. Nine different runners got carries.

South Point’s top runner was Nassem Jones who had 159 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively the Red Raiders played well, keeping Forestview limited to 220 yards of total offense.

Devon King was South Point’s top tackler with eight stops, seven of which were solo tackles.

Next week the 2-1 Red Raiders will prep for an interstate match up against the 2-1 Clover Eagles.

The Red Raiders may see

quarterback Keaton Hale get back on the field against Clover. Hale went down with an injury in the opener against Crest and has not played since.

It seems like coach Hodge is being prudent with Hale’s return. He does not want to push the quarterback back into the lineup too soon.

Considering how well Jamani Leeper has been playing that may be a wise choice.

In fact, with Hale out the Red Raiders were forced to develop other weapons. That capability will come in handy as the season moves along.

“I don’t want to bring him back to quick,” Hodge explains. “He’s getting close to hundred percent every day.”

Cramer moves to 3-0 after 56-18 win over East Gaston

by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Stuart Cramer football moved to 3-0 after a solid performance against East Gaston. The Storm played well on both sides of the ball in beating the Warriors 5618.

“We had a great night offensively and our defense played well too,” head coach Ben McMillan said. “I’m proud of our guys for getting the job done, and it’s good to start the year at 3-0.”

The Warriors were in for a long night when Cramer scored five first quarter touchdowns, four of which came off of Tyreese Morris runs.

The second quarter opened up with the score 35-6 in Cramer’s favor.

East Gaston got things going in the second when KJ Dagout broke for a 33yard touchdown. Cramer responded with a Luke Carpenter to Demarrick Floyd 49 yard touchdown pass. A few minutes later Floyd scampered into the end zone yet again, this time off of the 26 yard run.

The Warriors and Storm went into locker room with Cramer up 49-12.

In the third quarter Harrison Shopshire added to the Cramer lead with a 7-yard run.

The only 4th quarter scoring came from East Gaston when KJ Daggett scored again with a 12-yard run.

Cramer dominated on the scoreboard and in the statistics department. The Cramer offense outperformed the Warriors 478 yards to 214.

The top offensive player on both teams had to be Cramer running back Tyreese Morris. Morris turned in an MVP-like performance rumbling for 238 yards and scoring four touchdowns.

Cramer quarterback Luke Carpenter had a steady performance as well. Carpenter completed five of six passes for 167 yards and a touchdown. He ended the game with a 163.2 quarterback rating.

Devon Polk lead the Cramer defense with ten tackles.

Also putting in solid stats were Caleb Clemmer with eight tackles and Kaiser Kayton with seven.

For the Warriors, KJ Dagout had a heck of a game.

Dagout ran for 133 yards and went 10 for 17 for 65 yards passing.

Next week the 0-3 Warriors will face off against the 0-3 Lincolnton Wolves.

The undefeated Storm Cramer have a bye week before they head to South Point to take on the Red Raiders on September 14th.

Coach McMillan and his staff will use the bye week to tweak a few things. One thing that is sure to be addressed is the 110 yards the Storm gave up in penalty yardage against East Gaston.

CRAMER From Page 19

“We will go into the bye week and focus on the things we need to get better at,” coach McMillan noted. “We have got to eliminate penalties to be a better football team. But this was a good win for our program.”

The September 14th matchup between South Point and Cramer should be some must see football. Both squads have impressive running attacks. Both squads are also capable of putting the ball up top.

Stuart Cramer’s Tyreese Morris rushed for 232 yards on 15 carries and four touchdowns in the 56-18 win over East Gaston.
