Stuart Cramer High honors Katherine Cramer Angell

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Not every high school grad plans a career centered around computers, science or math.

Some are interested in things like welding, auto repair, graphic design, or baking cakes.

Baking cakes?

That's right.

Recognizing that fact, Gaston County Schools, and Stuart Cramer High in particular, have strong vocational skills programs and the Culinary Arts Department is one of the strongest.

Last Wednesday, a group of dignitaries, school officials, and others gathered at Stuart Cramer High to dedicate the Culinary Arts classroom and program to the late Katherine Cramer Angell.

“We are honored to have everyone here for this great occasion,” Stuart Cramer principal Audrey Devine said.

Angell was the daughter of Stuart W. Cramer and co-founder of the Culinary Institute of America. She was born in 1890 and died in 1983.

She also served on the New Haven Human Relations Council and Vocational Counseling Service, the Governor's Commission on Child Welfare, the Connecticut Citizens for Public Schools and the board of the Metropolitan Opera Guild.

She attended Queens College in Charlotte and the Finch School in New York City. She was married to Dr. James Rowland Angell,

president of Yale University, after the death of her first husband, Paul Woodman. Dr. Angell died in 1949.

The Culinary Institute of America is an American private college and culinary school specializing in culinary, baking, and pastry arts education. The school's primary campus is located in Hyde Park, New York, with branch campuses in St. Helena and Napa, California, San Antonio, Texas, and the Republic of Singapore. The college, which was the first to teach culinary arts in the United States, offers associate and bachelor's degrees, and has the largest staff of American Culinary Federation Certified Master Chefs. The CIA also offers continuing education for professionals in the hospitality industry as well as conferences and consulting services. In addition to professional education, the college also offers recreational classes for non-professionals. The college operates student-run restaurants on their four U.S. campuses. The school colors (green and gold) refer to the school's mission to sustain the environment and to strive for excellence.

The school was founded as a vocational institute for returning veterans of World War II. With a growing student body, the school purchased a former Jesuit novitiate in Hyde Park in 1970, which remains its central campus. The school began awarding associate degrees in 1971 and bachelor's degrees in 1993.

Among the guests at the Stuart Cramer High dedication was Angell's great grandson Damon Vickers and his daughter Anya.

Purple Heart recipients get special parking spaces

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Veterans who have received the Purple Heart medal for wounds received in combat now have “reserved parking” at McDonald’s restaurants in our area.

Jeff Stanton of Stanton Enterprises who owns five McDonald’s restaurants, has worked with Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 634 members to place a sign in each of the parking lots as a space for wounded veterans.

“We are very happy to partner with and support the Wounded Warriors,” Stanton said. “Placing a sign to designate parking for them is the least we can do with all of the sacrifices they have made to protect our country.”

Currently, the Belmont and Mt. Holly McDonald’s locations have the signs. Eventually the other Members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and Belmont McDonald's employees are three McDonald’s that Stanton seen with the new reserved parking sign. McDonald's employees- Sushilee Patel. Pamela Gibson, Angelica Ivery. Chapter 634 members front row- Bobby McNeill, Ron Wade, Mike owns will also have them.

Belmont Sports Hall of Fame Spotlight Rick Cherry – 2017 Inductee

By Stan Cromlish This week's Belmont Sports Hall of Fame inductee spotlight shines on Rick Cherry whose induction into the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame will occur on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. Other inductees include Stephen Cowie, Devon Lowery, and the 2011 NCHSAA State Champion South Point High School Baseball team. Rick is a 1970 graduate and three-sport standout athlete at Belmont High School and South Point High School in football, basketball, and baseball.

Like most youngsters in the Belmont area, Rick played two years of midget football. At Belmont Junior High School, he played defensive end and linebacker in seventh and eighth grade. In ninth grade, he played quarterback and linebacker on the conference championship team that went undefeated and allowed opponents only six points in seven games.

At Belmont High School, Rick was the backup quarterback and starting linebacker on a team that went seven and three. As the starting quarterback on the varsity team in 1968, he led the team to four wins, four losses, and See HALL OF FAME page 5

TODAY’S QUOTE: “The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.”

Professional Football, National My Opinion: Anthem and United America All’s fair at the fair

By Dr. Glenn Mollette

I love county fairs. The earliest recollection I have of going to one was the Mecklenburg County extravaganza back in the late 1950s. It was there I saw and touched my first hippopotamus.

Come to think on it, that was the only hippopotamus I have ever touched but I can still see in my mind’s eye the grayish, leathery skin with a scattering of bristly hairs and how when I poked the hippo with my finger it looked at me as if to say, “If I could get out of this cage I bet you wouldn’t do that you little punk”.

Nowadays, hippos are pretty much rare fare at fairs. The African giants having been replaced by beeves, goats, chickens, hawgs, and the odd sheep as the animals of choice for display. I guess the cost of catching and keeping a hippo has priced them out of the fair market not to mention the Hippopotamus Ant-Cruelty League.

Fair food is another big draw. It always amazes me the variety of vittles available for consumption. It’s hard to pick exactly what to eat. Some folks solve this dilemma by eating everything they can afford. Sort of like those people at a family reunion picnic who declare they want “just a taste” of this and that and sit down under a tree with a plate on each knee heaped with a cornucopia of stuff.

One of the best things in the fair food lane is the roasted earsof corn still in the shucks. This is a very convenient as well as tasty concession because you can skin the shucks back and drizzle some butter on the cob and gnaw at it a while and then pull the shucks back up and carry the cob around like a pistol and repeat the process as the need for sustenance arises.

Sweets at the fair are another culinary temptation, the two old standbys being cotton candy and candy apples. We have never left the fair without Sharon carrying home at least one candy apple. Of course the new trend in sweets at the fair are deep fried cookies, candy bars, and anything else with an overload of sugar that once combined with hot grease makes for an interesting shock to the human system.

What would a county fair be without rides? Not much. Modern technology has come up with some fancy rides but the basic principal and guiding force behind just about every one of them old and new is to subject the body to as much in the way of stressful force as possible and call it fun.

Several years ago we were at the Cleveland County fair and after eating a chili dog got on an amusement called the “Scrambler”.

Let me tell you, by the time I staggered off that contraption my intestines were well and truly scrambled and I stumbled around thoroughly discombobulated.

To add insult to gastrointestinal injury the ride operator, a gent with teeth of an orangeish hue, called out loudly to those waiting in line-”Haha, folks, look at the big kid.”

Meaning me of course.

Another torture of choice I flew once upon a time was a spinning teacup thing that has a bar in front to hold on to and it seemed the harder I pulled on the bar to brace myself the faster the teacup holding us spun and I thought it would sling my eyeballs out.

Later, Sharon informed me that pulling the bar made for the excessive G-forces. Silly me.

Another, more sedate, part of the county fair that’s nice is strolling around gazing at the jars of pickles and jams and other homemade goodies folks bring to display for ribbons. Quilts and flowers and 4H exhibits are in this category as well and overall provide a calming environment compared to the hubbub outside the exhibition halls.

Lastly, it is the people that make a county fair as much as anything else.

What a delight it is to look at the cross section of humanity that comes to a fair.

Here we see the tots in their strollers being Alan Hodge pushed along, groggy Banner-News Editor and pretty much oblivious to what is going on around them or screaming lustily for no other reason than they are hot and tired. There we see the packs of teen girls as they prowl the fairgrounds looking for friends or giggling at teen boys taking drags off cigarettes, trying to impress. Over yonder we see a game of chance operator trying to lure folks to his booth with insincere remarks such as “hey, pretty lady, try this” or “hey, handsome feller, win yer gal friend a stuffed pig!”

How weary he actually looks with the whole affair and with the mob slowly shuffling by ignoring his pleas for commerce.

Yes, a county fair is habit forming. It is a world of lights and action and people all gone wild in a fenced in lot for the space of a week where anything goes– and sometimes it goes around so many times and so fast it makes your head spin.

Professional football fans were treated to some relief last Thursday evening as the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears stood arm in arm for the singing of the National Anthem. People in the stands either did likewise or put their hands over their hearts. Americans felt proud but mostly relieved.

Owners of the National Football League teams employ the players.

Some of the owners obviously are okay with whatever the players do during the national anthem. I wonder how the owners would feel if a player decides they are simply going to let the other team score in order to make a statement? What if they decide they are going to stand back and watch while the other team kicks the field goal? Or what if they want to wear their own style of uniform? There are rules and expectations by the league and every team owner. The owners need to step up and be owners.

The players are being paid and their job starts when they walk into the stadium and put on their uniform. What if a player wants to make a politi-

cal statement by simply refusing to catch a pass? Where does it end? Players work for owners. If owners don't care then fans have to decide if they don't care and support the team or move their loyalty, money and support to another team. Fans always have options. Players average almost 3 million a year based on advertising and ticket sales.

I totally support freedom of speech. I also support being a good employee. The owners and the league have to work this out and the fans have to decide who or what they can support. Fans as a whole will determine the future of the game and just how much politics they can stand at sporting events.

I am hoping that all participates of sports in America will show up to play the game this weekend. It has been reported that the Denver Broncos will be standing Sunday as Chicago and Green Bay did Thursday.

If athletes want to go out on the street and yell and scream or get on their knees after the game then let it be.

This is where other Americans have to protest.

My wife and I went into a restaurant to eat today. We

had a peaceful enjoyable meal.

None of the servers or cooks Glenn Mollette made any political remarks or political gestures that I saw.

We went into a large grocery store and bought a few groceries. We walked the aisles and bought our food without any of the grocery store employees making any political speeches or political gestures. I would never expect to hear or see political commentary in a restaurant or a grocery store.

There should be other places where Americans can tune the daily cares of life out and think about something else. Sporting events should be one of those places where we can enjoy athletic competition, a hot dog and a fun time with family and friends.

It should be a place where we can come together and for just a brief moment enjoy and celebrate being United Americans, even if only for a moment.

How I spent my summer vacation When I arrived on the first day of third grade, my teacher, Mrs. Herford, assigned us a 100-word writing composition. It was to be on, “What I did on my summer vacation.” We all complained that it was impossible to find 100 words to put on paper.

It probably sounded like, “I spent my summer going swimming in our backyard pool, and building forts with my friends.” I had written 16 words and had to come up with 84 more. I groaned that it was an impossible task.

Fast forward to this summer. My daughter and her husband, who are very artsy people, like to do creative projects at the last minute. My son-in-law Will decided to make a “Tardis” which is from the Dr. Who series. It looks like a British phone boot except it is blue. It functions as a time machine.

The project started with a trip to our local home improvement store to purchase lumber and glue. I bought an extra container of glue in case we needed it (we definitely needed it). We cleared space in the garage, set up tables and got to work. Since it was made from cardboard, we couldn’t screw the wood strips; instead, we had to glue them. Lots of wood glue followed by electric glue sticks. You’d think we were building a skyscraper.

The four walls were attached with hinges. Again, we glued the hinges to the cardboard. That worked fine on the three walls. But when it came to the front doors that opened and closed, the hinges came loose. We found some nuts and bolts to keep them attached.

I took the roof frame Will and his father created and attached it to the three walls. You could feel the structure take on rigidity. The Tardis has a glass globe on top. We took a mason jar and attached it to the roof.

It looked great.

The glue was still drying when they used it later that night in a performance. Everyone was in awe of the booth as well as my daughter’s performance which included her coming out of it.

What did I do this summer? You might think that I built a blue British phone booth? If you point to something tangible, that answer is “yes.”

But I saw it as something bigger.

I built a memory with my son-inlaw. I must confess to you that prior to this project, my wife suggested to my daughter that she ask me to help Will build it. Her response was that I was too tired and too distracted. My heart broke when I heard those words.

When work and the demands of dayto-day living grind us such that we are too tired and too distracted, it’s time to check our priorities. Life moves too fast and the opportunities to spend it with the people we love goes by too fast.

Spending time with Will reminded me of the many Saturdays I spent in that garage with my two sons working on cars or other projects. That was time well invested.

Someone once said, “Invest your life in the people who are going to cry at your funeral.” That includes my wife, our children and their spouses (we don’t have grandchildren – we have grand-dogs). When Will needed my help to finish the

“Tardis,” every plan I had for that Saturday went away. He became my priority.

I think Mrs. Herford would be proud of this composition. It’s more than 100 words. It’s more than going swimming in our neighborhood pool. It’s about building a memory with someone I love.

CULINARY ARTS from page 1 “I loved my great grandmother and valued every moment I spent with her,” Damon said. “She was a lady of grace, nobility, and kindness who gave back to others.”

Culinary Institute of America chief of staff Rick Tiejen was also in attendance at the dedication.

“The Stuart Cramer High Culinary Arts Dept. is the first step in the road to success for its students,” he said.

School board vice chair Jeff Ramsey also spoke at the dedication.

“We are delighted and proud to have her name associated with Stuart Cramer High,” Ramsey remarked.

“This is a momentous occasion.”

Cindy Rouse, Stuart Cramer's career development coordinator, explained the importance of vocational career education at Stuart Cramer and other Gas-

ton schools.

“Our mission is to empower the future leaders and workers of the global economy,” Rouse said. “We want to turn their passion into a career.”

Following the remarks, those present took a tour of the Culinary Arts classroom and sampled snacks prepared by students.

“I always liked food and if football doesn't work out I want to become a chef,” said senior Devon Bain.

Katherine Cramer Angell’s great grandson Damon Vickers and Culinary Institute of America chief of staff Rick Tiejen were among the speakers at the Katherine Cramer Angell dedication.

This is the plaque that was unveiled last week at the entrance to the Culinary Arts Dept. classroom at Stuart Cramer High.

PURPLE HEART from page 1 “This is very nice of Stanton and McDonald’s to recognize wounded veterans,” said Chapter 634 life member Ron Wade, a wounded Vietnam vet.

Wade also said that it’s possible other stores and restaurants could follow Stanton’s lead and reserve parking spaces as well.

Belmont and Mt. Holly are both designated as “Purple Heart Cities”. Mt. Holly has signs declaring that fact at key city limit “gateway” locations such as BelmontMt. Holly Rd. and Hwy 27.

Currently, Belmont does not have similar signage but that will soon be rectified. Signs for Belmont were ordered last week and will be put up as soon as they arrive. Locations for the Belmont signs

could include Wilkinson Blvd. and Park St. Chartered by Congress in 1958, The Military Order of the Purple Heart is composed of military men and women who received the Purple Heart Medal for wounds suffered in combat. Although our membership is restricted to the combat wounded, we support all veterans and their families with a myriad of nation-wide programs by Chapters and National Service Officers.

The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds re-

ceived in action. It is specifically a combat decoration.

The organization now known as the “Military Order of the Purple Heart,” was formed in 1932 for the protection and mutual interest of all who have received the decoration. Composed exclusively of Purple Heart recipients, it is the only veterans service organization comprised strictly of “combat” veterans.

Wives, mothers, daughters and adopted daughters of Purple Heart recipients are eligible to belong to the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, which also does im- Sign posted at local McDonald’s restaurants for reserved parkportant work nationally and ing for those wounded while serving our country.

The annual Dannie Benjmin 5k charity event is set for Saturday October 14, 2017 with a 9AM start time.

This run will start in front of First Baptist Church at 23 N Central Ave in Belmont,NC 28012, and continue North to Woodrow Avenue and take a left to Rocky Branch Trail. It includes almost 2 miles of a marked trail run with a return to the finish line back at the starting point. Trail includes wooden bridges, hills and creek side runnning.

Dr. Dannie Benjamin was a local area dentist whose mission work in Romania and Honduras was a tremendous blessing to men, women and children that he helped. These individuals that he helped had virtually no access to dental services. Monies raised by this annual event will enable others to carry on his legacy.

All proceeds go toward the Dannie Benjamin Mission Fund, which supports Evangelistic, Medical, Dental, State and Community missions. Register at: http:// tinyurl.com/db5k2017

HALL OF FAME from page 1 two ties. Belmont High School underwent a name change beginning with the 1969 1970 school year to South Point High School. With that change, Rick Cherry was the first starting quarterback for the Red Raiders and led the team to a record of five wins and five losses. He earned allconference honors for his outstanding play during his senior year.

The hardwoods drew the kid from Browntown Road indoors in winter where he shined for eight years on the midgets, Belmont Junior High, and Belmont High School/ South Point High School. In eighth and ninth grade at Belmont Junior High, he played on conference championship and conference runnerup teams respectively. In his sophomore year at Belmont High School, Rick led the junior varsity team in scoring and an undefeated season.

As a two-year varsity starter in 1969 and 1970, he led the team in rebounds and free

throws along with earning allconference honors during his senior year.

When the spring flowers were in bloom, Rick's thoughts turned to diamonds, balls, and bats. He began his baseball career with two years in Belmont Little League and then moved up to Belmont Junior High and the Teener Leagues where he was a pitcher and an outfielder.

As a ninth-grade pitcher, he won six games and lost one with one no-hitter. During the 1966 and 1967 Teener League baseball seasons, Rick pitched one no-hitter and made the Gaston County All-Star Team as a pitcher. The Gaston County all-star team was the state runner-up in 1966 and the state champions in 1967.

With three wins as the All-Star team's pitcher during the 1967 State Tournament, his peers voted him the Most Valuable Player and the team advanced all the way to the National World Series in Pennsylvania.

Rick was the winning pitcher in a regional tournament game

and a national tournament game. His overall record for 1967 was twenty-two wins and two losses with two no-hitters.

In 1968, his high school career got underway on the mound, and he won four and lost one while pitching another no-hitter. The American Legion season that year saw him win five and lose two as the starting pitcher. Over the high school and American Legion season for 1969, Rick won seven games and lost two while also playing first base.

As a senior at the renamed South Point High School, he won eight games and lost five.

During 71 innings, Rick struck out 98 batters and only allowed three earned runs for an ERA of 0.28. As a hitter, he batted .364 with 14 runs-batted-in.

In his final year of American Legion baseball, he pitched in seven wins and three losses and on his off-days, he played first base.

His high school and American Legion careers came to an end in 1970. During that year he earned baseball MVP honors, all-conference honors in all three sports, and was voted best athlete for South Point.

Page 5

When the records were tallied, Rick's record as a pitcher from 1967 through 1970 was an outstanding 58 wins, 15 losses, and four no-hitters. This prolific output earned him a scholarship to Tennessee Tech.

Before completing his first year at Tennessee Tech, he transferred to Gaston College where he pitched in five wins and lost only two games that year. In 1972, Western Carolina came calling, and he pitched three years for the Catamounts. Rick played as a spot-starter and a middlereliever. His pitching career at Western Carolina was unblemished; he won three and did not lose a single game.

Rick is currently employed at Duke Energy’s McGuire Nuclear Station and lives in Lincolnton with his wife, Barbara. He has coached soccer and basketball in the Lincolnton Optimist league for several years along with being the tournament director of the McGuire Nuclear Station United Way golf tournament which has raised over $100,000 for local charitable causes.

This year’s John Huske Anderson award, presented by the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) to a layperson whose contributions have had a positive impact on the medical profession and the public health, was bestowed on Regina Moody, the President/CEO of Holy Angels, a residential campus and nonprofit in Belmont, NC. Holy Angels is known for its compassionate care for individuals who are ‘differently able’ and medically fragile.

Moody was lauded for being the visionary force guiding the organization through its continued growth and development over the past 35 years.

In her role as president and CEO, Moody leads a staff of 350 employees and oversees an annual budget of $15 million.

Holy Angels’ campus includes residential group homes for 88 residents who require aroundthe-clock care. Holy Angels also serves approximately 50 other adults who are differently able and participate in LifeChoices, a day activity program.

“Those who know Regina praise her leadership, her business acumen, her sense of community and especially her caring and compassion,” said 2017 NCMS President Paul R.G. Cun-

Regina Moody (left) and Dr. Docia Hickey photo provided by Holy Angels ningham, MD, in presenting the award. “As the staff at Holy Angels summed up: “Regina Moody’s accomplishments are discovered daily in the joyful, empowered faces of the differently able individuals served by Holy Angels.”

The award was presented at the NCMS Annual Business Meeting on Saturday, Sept. 16.

John Huske Anderson devoted his career to medicine and the

NCMS, serving as its legal counsel from 1937 until his retirement in 1983. Nominations for his namesake award are made by an NCMS member.

Moody was not able to be present for the award ceremony, so NCMS Immediate Past President and Holy Angels Board member Docia Hickey, MD, accepted the award on her behalf.

Celebrate Life Who doesn’t love to celebrate; graduations, births, promotions? Our life paths involve many opportunities to celebrate. But this morning a deeper perspective dawned on me; actually two.

I was reading a book wrapped in Egyptian history. Their culture 170 years ago embraced the simplicity of life and its majesty. Residents living along the Nile revered life; all of it; current, ancient, new, beasts, birds, and crocodiles. Our Native American ancestors did too; it seems more so than we do today. Maybe we are just too captivated by technology. I don’t know.

Anyway, this morning I found myself celebrating my existence, nature, and creation all around me. I celebrated being alive and found myself profoundly grateful to God. Then I listened to the birds and watched the rabbits and squirrels and it certainly seemed they celebrated life too. A cardinal was celebrating tasty seed I had just put out. Squirrels happily chased each other and the rabbits were content nibbling on the grass; all a form of celebration. Then a little deeper, my roses were celebrating by prolifically blooming just as they were purposed to do, and our hydrangeas were celebrating by reaching for the sunlight.

But when we consider roses and hydrangeas they need more than light don’t they? I believe part of their celebration was for their water and food supply, and the air; things we can’t so readily see.

I think my roses were even celebrating that I had dead-headed their first blooms so their blooming glory could be extended.

What about us? Do we really know what we need to thrive and have a foundational reason to celebrate? Shouldn’t we have a deeper reason for celebrating than just updating our ages when a calendar turns, or getting excited about various

basketball teams’ new uniforms? Stephen and Alex Kendrick produced a film called Courageous which was a celebration about human purpose; and that purpose wasn’t something contrived Dennis Siracusa but received from Spiritual Gardening outside ourselves from God. The Erwin Brothers produced October Baby which celebrated the dignity of human life. And Sean Hannity has a film September 2017 called Let There Be Light. It celebrates the values America was founded on; and those values were underpinned by Christian values born from God’s Word.

I am aware that much of our lives involve the mechanics of existence; grocery shopping, paying bills, and sleeping. To do much of it successfully we need to set goals, work hard, and keep learning. But even within what seems mundane, we would do well to keep our eyes on the Lord. For His guiding hand even in ordinary activities produces fruit. People we meet reinforce our lives.

And we always know when we fall, Jesus will catch us. Ps 9:10 “Those who know your name trust in you for you, O Lord do not abandon those who search for you.” And the word “search” means a moment by moment search. There is nothing casual about God and our relationship with Him shouldn’t be casual either. And when it’s not, we will have a lot to celebrate.

What Does Jesus Mean to You? TThere are many things I treasure in this life. There are mementos that remind me of times past and people past. I certainly treasure my wife and my children. Each of us have people and things that mean the world to us. In all of the important things to us, where does Jesus fit in? What does Jesus mean to us?

Luke 7:36-50 tells the story of a dinner Jesus attended. He had been invited by a Pharisee named Simon. While at the dinner, a woman who had been in sin walked in. She began to cry and fell down at the feet of Jesus. She began to wash His feet with her tears, and she dried them with her hair. She also poured out a precious oil upon His feet. While this was going on, Simon the Pharisee wondered in his mind why Jesus was letting a sinner do this to His feet. Jesus, knowing Simon’s thoughts, reminded him of how much this woman loved Him, and how He had forgiven her. Simon had not washed the feet of Jesus. Simon had not anointed Jesus with oil, yet this woman did not cease to pour her love out on Jesus the whole time He was there. Jesus forgave this woman of all of her sins, and they were many.

He told her, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace” (Luke 7:50, NKJV).

This woman who had been in so much sin, stood forgiven by Jesus Christ. She never said a word, her actions showed how much she loved Jesus. Jesus knew her heart. He knew the gratitude she had for Him as He had forgiven her. Her great act of love showed every-

one gathered at the dinner what Jesus meant to her. Because she had been forgiven of so much, she owed Jesus her everything. She did not care who saw her, or what they thought, she was there for Jesus. This Rev. Trent Rankin woman endured Salvation Church embarrassment, Gastonia, NC and the cost of salvationchurchnc.org her treasured oil salvationchurchnc@gmail.com in the alabaster flask, yet she gladly did it all for Jesus and His love for her.

Like the woman of the story, we stand forgiven before Jesus Christ. He gave His very life for us, and forgives us of our sins, no matter what we have done. We owe Him our all.

Like the woman of the story, our every desire should be to please Jesus, and to glorify His name. What will we do to honor Jesus? There is no doubt that Jesus Christ took first place in the life of the woman in the story. What place does Jesus take in our lives? What does Jesus man to us?

Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week is a lovely girl named Molly. Molly is an English Setter mix. She is about 6-8 years old.

Molly is a sweet girl that weighs about 50 pounds. She gets along with other dogs and LOVES people.

Molly was surrendered to us because her previous owner has failing health and could no longer care for her.

Molly has beautiful longer hair that washes well. She is spayed, current on vaccines and micro-chipped.

Known as "the moderate setter," the graceful English Setter's love of people and easygoing nature can make him a super friend for an active family as well as a fine hunting dog.

He's not as rollicking as the Irish setter nor as standoffish toward strangers as the Gordon Setter. Gentle, kind, and affectionate, he's devoted to his family, sociable with strangers, and gets along just fine with kids.

While he isn't precise enough to achieve the highest scores in obedience competition, he is moderately easy to train. The English Setter is a good watchdog and will bark to alert his people that someone is approaching the house. Once he's introduced to guests, however, he happily accepts their presence.

All these qualities make him a good choice for a first-time dog owner who appreciates this breed's beauty and sweetness and can provide him with the exercise he needs.

English Setters are quiet indoors, but outside they love to run and play with other dogs and people. A daily run, off-leash play in a fenced area, or an energetic hike through a nearby park or wilderness area will be just this English breed's cup of tea.

Please come out to our adoption event this weekend. If you are looking for an addition to your family, come out and meet our pets.

We have many available pets at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this Friday from 6-9 pm and Saturday noon to 6 pm.

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. 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.

Broad diversity among the Montcross Area Chamber member businesses was on full display when the Business Buzz Breakfast program on Sept. 22, 2017, was “Pitch Your Business.”

Nineteen members presented 90-second pitches describing their business in rapid succession.

CaroMont Health is the sponsor of Business Buzz.

Presentations by two of the Chamber’s newest members were given by a representative of Open Broadband, a technology firm bringing super-fast gigabit internet service to Gaston County, and also by Anchored Soul, which encourages customers to get out on the lake on a paddle board and also their lines of casual fashion and jewelry.

Business Buzz Breakfasts are held several times each year at the Kimbrell Campus of Gaston College in Belmont. Speakers and others who came out to learn about their fellow Chamber members enjoyed breakfast from Stanton Enterprise/McDonalds.

Prevention

Early detection of breast cancer is the single-most effective way to beat the disease. That is why it is essential for women to conduct their own breast exams to discover any potential anomalies early on.

While doctors stress the importance of self-examination, many women still show up for routine wellness visits admitting they don’t do examinations because they simply don’t know how. Perhaps because the practice was given the formal name “breast self-exam.”

Today, however, doctors tell women to have “breast self-awareness.” That means women don’t have to follow a set protocol regarding checking for breast changes, and simply being aware of how the breasts look and feel is key.

Why the change in the formalities? Doctors have determined that most women notice a lump in their breasts while doing routine activities, such as bathing or dressing. Lumps can be found simply by touching the breasts in any pattern, as long as the entire breast is checked.

Follow these guidelines • Breasts are best checked for changes directly after a menstrual period. Breast tissue will be softer and less tender due to diminishing hormone levels.

• Look at the breasts every day and notice their appearance and shape. Recognizing subtle differences can alert a doctor if something is amiss.

Be conscious of these changes: Changes in breast size, shape, skin texture, or color Dimpling or puckering of the breast

More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in America each year, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk.

Healthy lifestyle choices like consuming a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, engaging in regular physical activity and avoiding cigarettes and excessive alcohol are all important steps in helping to prevent breast cancer. Early detection is also key in the fight against breast cancer, so be sure to perform a breast self-exam each month, and ask your doctor when to schedule mammograms and other screenings.

South Point runs over Ashbrook 35-13 Red Raiders remain undefeated

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Things may have been a little dicey in the early going, but in the end the results were the same. Powered by an impressive running game the Red Raiders football squad ran over the Ashbrook Green Wave 35-13. The win has South Point sitting at 6-0.

In the first half of the game the Green Wave gave South Point a real run for their money.

Ashbrook was playing tough. The Green Wave had some success moving the ball. There was no doubt in this one the Red Raiders were going to need to fight for it.

“I thought we played good,” South Point head coach Adam Hodge said. “We battled. It was a tight game early, it was physical.”

With TD runs by Scottie Lee and Jake Alexander, South Point went into the locker room at the half with a 14-6 lead.

In the second half the Red Raiders shifted gears and started to unload.

Powered by a running game that ended the day with 364 yards the Red Raiders imposed their will in the second half. At game’s end South Point had 376 yards of total offense.

“The offensive line was tremendous,” Hodge said.

The contribution of the offense of line is something that cannot be underscored. The South Point running game has been very solid all year.

With great blocking up front, senior fullback Jake Alexander is having a phenomenal season.

“Jake has over 1000 yards in six games,” Hodge added.

Against Ashbrook, Alexander ran for 267 yards off of 22 carries. The senior fullback hit the end zone three times.

South Point quarterback Scottie Lee had a productive day as well.

This week Lee turned in a strong ground performance. Lee ran for 86 yards and two scores. Lee threw the ball only four times with one completion.

For the most part the South Point defense kept Ashbrook in check.

In all, Ashbrook had 271 yards of offense. 199 yards of that came on the ground. The Green Wave was able to get things going from time to time, but in the end South Point stuffed them when they needed to.

With the Ashbrook win South Point enters October undefeated.

Now the Red Raiders will gear up for conference play.

In the off-season realignment the Red Raiders and East Gaston Warriors broke away from the Big South 2A/3A and are now apart of the new formed Southwestern 2A. The scheduling gurus must like to add a sense of drama and flair to the mix, because this year South Point and East Gaston’s first game in the new conference will be against each other.

The 1-5 Warriors are set to come to Lineberger Stadium this week for Black Friday.

“We have been doing this a long time,” Coach Hodge said

of the long standing rivalry with East Gaston. “There’s a tradition of playing them.”

Kickoff is at 7:30.

The East Gaston Warriors were pulling off a big comefrom-behind rally in their football game against Blacksburg when the wheels fell off. In a game that showed not only what East Gaston is capable of, but also what they still need to work on, the Warriors lost to the visiting Wildcats 56-31.

Blacksburg scored three times in the first quarter to start things off with a 20-8 lead.

East Gaston’s lone first quarter points came off of a 26-yard pass from Kobe Creamer to h-back Brodie Hilton. After the TD, Creamer scored on a two-point conversion. That conversion was the first of many that would pay dividends as the game progressed In the second quarter Blacksburg and East Gaston exchanged touchdowns.

The half ended with Blacksburg up 26-15.

Shortly after the Wildcats and Warriors took the field for the second half Blacksburg scored again. This time on 22-yard pass.

East Gaston hit back with an 11-yard Hilton touchdown run. Creamer ran the two-point conversion in to narrow the lead.

Throughout the game Blacksburg had trouble with their PAT attempts. On the other hand, East Gaston was going for two-point conversions and getting them. As the game went on 1 point here and 2 points there slowly helped East Gaston narrow the lead.

In the 4th quarter East Gaston hit yet again. This time Creamer hooked up with KJ Dagout for a 12-yard TD pass.

Once again Creamer ran the two-point conversion in.

Little by little the Warriors had had cut into the Wildcat lead.

With about 8 minutes left in the game The Warriors trailed Blacksburg 33-31.

East Gaston was back in it. The Warriors were on the cusp of pulling off something big.

Right when things were going so well the comeback stalled and fell apart.

Blacksburg broke off three huge TD runs to push out to a 56-31 lead. A lead they would keep for the remainder of the game.

The tale of the tape shows what happened. Blacksburg had 445 yards of total offense. 349 yards of it came on the ground.

The yardage isn’t what killed the Warriors, the three late touchdowns stuffed what till then had been a great comeback.

Another thing that hurt the Warriors was penalties and turnovers. East Gaston had 14 flags thrown on them. They also gave the ball up three times.

In a tight game you just can’t make those kinds of mistakes.

Kobe Cramer had a great game for the Warriors. Creamer threw for 124 yards and two scores. Creamer also had 143 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

East Gaston top receiver was Brodie Hilton. Hilton pulled in five catches for 47 yards and a TD. Hilton also had 7 yards rushing and a score.

This one is over. East Gaston played a heck of a game. They may have lost but the offensive production is something the coaching staff can work with going forward.

Unfortunately the upcoming schedule won’t be kind to the Warriors. Next week East Gaston will be in Belmont to take on their long time rivals the South Point Red Raiders.

ceiving the honor have shown either outstanding academic performance or progress in closing the achievement gap.

Highland is one of only six schools in North Carolina to earn the distinction this year.

“This is a significant award for Highland, and we are so very proud,” said Denise McLean, principal. “We have always known that Highland is a model school with worldclass students and teachers, and now, with this national recognition, everyone will know it.”

Highland has consistently ranked as one of the most successful schools in North Carolina. The school has achieved a perfect or near perfect graduation rate every year since the state first calculated the graduation rate in 2006.

Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker stated, “It is a distinct pleasure to congratulate and commend the Highland School of Technology. Being named a National Blue Ribbon School is what all schools strive for, but only a few are chosen each year.

Highland is now part of an elite group, and the school takes its place among the most outstanding schools in our country.”

In November, Highland will be honored during the National Blue Ribbon School awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. It is scheduled for November 6-7. Planning is under way for a celebration at the school in late November.
