Let Me Run turns boys into great men By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
There's a great after school program in Gaston County that builds healthy minds, bodies, and spirits in boys. Known as “Let Me Run”, the program combines running with camaraderie and character development. Currently, there are eleven schools in Gaston where Let Me Run is held. These include Belmont Central Elementary, Catawba Heights Elementary, Mt Holly Middle, New Hope Elementary, PCCS Primary, PCCS Secondary, Pinewood Elementary, WA Bess, Woodhill Elementary, Hawks Nest (STEAM), and York Chester Middle School. Over 140 boys take part in the Let Me Run program. Danielle Smallwood is the coach for the Belmont Central team. “The program includes all boys not just athletes,” Smallwood said. “It lets them be physically active, set goals- not just fitness goals but life goals as well- and holistically makes them better boys and men.” The Let Me Run program is inclusive. “It helps boys realize they don't have to fit stereotypes and can share things about themselves.” Smallwood said. “One student said he also enjoyed making pottery.” Belmont Central fifth grader Logan Farnham loves the Let Me Run program. These Gaston County Schools Let Me Run students were having a great time at a recent running event. Over 140 boys across See LET ME RUN page 2 Gaston participate in Let Me Run. Brittany Carey photo
New Mt. Holly fire station going up fast By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
Work on the new Mt. Holly Fire Dept. North Station has been moving along at an astonishing rate. Just a couple of months
ago the building site on Lucia-Riverbend Highway was just a graded-off patch of red dirt. As of last week, the concrete building foundation and parking pad has been poured and the steel framework for the 6,300 sq. ft. structure
erected. Workers have also “roughed in” plumbing and electrical fixtures, interior walls are going up, the roof is being sealed against bad weather, a rear entrance to the lot is being graded and graveled, and more.

Miles-McClellan Construction is doing the build. Site foreman Fred Lampman had this to say. “The goal is to have the project done by mid-January,” he said. “We go fast when we can.” A good example is how quickly the frame went up. “We got the frame put together in just over two weeks after it arrived,” Lampman said. Miles-McClellan is also building the new Mt. Holly public works building and has done a 911 center in Greensboro. MHFD deputy chief Craig Spry is pleased with how the new station is coming along and praised Miles-McClellan. 'They've done a tremendous job,” he said. The station will house an engine, water rescue equipment, and in the future perhaps another truck. Engine 35, a pumper with a 750 gallon capacity, will be assigned to the new station. The station will
Belmont branch library getting major makeover By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The Belmont branch of the Gaston County Public Library is getting some much needed freshening up. The project is being funded at least in part by proceeds from the Friends of the Gaston County Library (FGCPL). Interior work will include new computer chairs, a lowered circulation desk, a new space for teens with lounge chairs and tables, interior paint, major bathroom renovations including fixtures and tile, and reconfiguration to Americans With Disabilities Act standards for the entrances. Cost of the paint and furniture will be in the neighborhood of $15,000 with the tab being picked up by FGCPL. The County will pay for the bathroom and entrance work but the See BELMONT LIBRARY page 5

LET ME RUN from page 1 “It helps you challenge yourself step by step,” he said. “You learn about teamwork and how to help one another along. After we run, you can look back at how much you've grown.” Nichole Caroniti is an Exceptional Children teacher at Mt. Holly Middle and the Let Me Run coach as well. Her team is a mix of EC students and others. She formed the team last year and currently has 14 members. “Let Me Run is a good way for kids to connect with each other as well as teachers and volunteers,” she said. “It builds character and discipline. It helps participants be the best, well rounded, person they can be.” Even the scientific community has taken a look at the local Let Me Run scene and liked what it saw. A recent independent study conducted by Uni-
versity of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Institute to Promote Athlete Health and Wellness finds Gaston County’s Let Me Run program is making a substantial positive impact in boys’ lives. UNCG’s study confirms that Let Me Run counteracts these unhealthy societal pressures in finding that: The Let Me Run program significantly improves boys’ attitudes and behaviors associated with healthy masculinity (e.g. unrestrictive emotionality, uninhibited affection, and avoidance of physical fighting); Let Me Run increases boys’ vigorous physical activity levels; Participating in Let Me Run reduces boys’ screen time on school days; The Let Me Run program increases boys’ social competence. Since it was founded in 2009, Let Me Run has grown from one team of 14 boys in

704.827.0212 The men and women who defend the liberties and freedoms of the countries they represent hold a special place in people’s hearts and an eternal spot in their countries’ histories. Any opportunity is a good time to commemorate the bravery and selfless deeds of military personnel, but certain prominent holidays in November make this an especially important time to thank veterans for their service. November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada. It’s also known as Armistice Day in other parts of the world. These holidays honor all military veterans who have provided service to their countries, and that each falls on November 11 is no coincidence, as the day commemorates the anniversary of the end of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Many places around the world pause and remember fallen veterans on November 11, but a good majority of Veterans Day and Remembrance Day commemorative events focus on past and current veterans who are still alive. There are many ways to honor the military at home and abroad in time for the November festivities. The following are just a handful of ways to show appreciation for military men and women. • When dining out, ask your server if you can pay the tab for a soldier or veteran you see in the restaurant. • Attend a military parade with your family and explain the significance of the day to children in attendance. • Draft letters and send care packages to soldiers currently in service far away from home. • Ask your company if Veterans Day or Remembrance Day can be an observed holiday at your place of business each year to pay homage to servicemen and women. • Visit a military memorial in a city near you. Your town also may have its own memorial. • Petition town officials to erect a memorial if your town does not already have one. Such memorials can be a source of inspiration for your community. • Support a military family in your town who may be missing a loved one stationed elsewhere. Make meals, mow the lawn, help with grocery shopping, or simply provide emotional support. • Volunteer time at a veterans’ hospital. You may be able to read with veterans or engage in other activities. • Get involved with a military support charity that can provide much-needed funds to struggling families or disabled veterans. • Have children speak with veterans in your family, including grandparents, uncles and aunts or even their own parents. It can help them gain perspective on the important roles the military plays. • Ask a veteran to give a commencement speech at a school or to be the guest of honor at a special function. • Drive disabled veterans to doctors’ appointments or to run any errands. • Support a local VFW organization. • Create a scrapbook for a veteran in your life. • Cheer for or thank military personnel each time you see them. • Visit the veterans’ portion of a nearby cemetery and place poppies or other flowers on the graves. • Always keep the military on your mind and never forget those who have served and didn’t return home. Armistice Day, Remembrance Day and Veterans Day are great ways to honor past and current military for their service and sacrifice.

FIRE STATION from page 1 also be home to a substation of the Mt. Holly Police Dept. A GEMS paramedic truck and crew could also be placed at the station. The station's coverage area will stretch from the Horseshoe Bend Beach Rd. vicinity to Freightliner and Sandy Ford Rd. and the Dutchmans Meadow and Kendrick Farms subdivisions. Future plans for the station grounds could include a 100-foot tall water tank. When complete, the station will be staffed by six firefighters. The staff will be a mix of veteran and new firefighters. “There will be a three week orientation for the new staff,” Spry said. Counting salary, insurance and retirement, each staffer at the new station will need about $50k per year in compensation. Last week, NC Congressman Patrick McHenry presented MHFD with a SAFER grant for that will help fund the new station staff. SAFER is FEMA-speak for Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response. The SAFER Grant McHenry presented provides $551,169.00 in funding exclusively for the addition of the six firefighters, including salary and benefits costs, for three years. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) implemented this program to directly assist fire departments to increase or maintain the number of trained, front line firefighters within their organization. SAFER grants assist local fire departments by providing them with additional resources to increase their staffing and deployment capabilities in order to better respond to emergencies whenever they may occur. Local departments apply for the grants from the program which is administered by the Grant Programs Directorate of
the Federal Emergency Management Agency in cooperation with the U.S. Fire Administration. “Mount Holly, and all of eastern Gaston County is experiencing exponential growth and municipalities must provide key services to keep up,” said McHenry. “The SAFER Grant is the hardest of the Fire Deputy Chief Spry looks over the new station work site. Act grants to get but its impact on a community can be tremendous. I look forward to visiting Mount Holly’s new fire station once it is complete and meeting with the personnel who will be hired with this grant.” Mount Holly Mayor Bryan Hough stated, “Mount Holly being awarded the SAFER Grant will enable the city to continue to expand public safety services and lessen the financial impact to our citiMHFD Deputy Chief Craig Spry with the main water valve to zens." the new station.

Carpet and some of the furniture from that job will have to do for now. “We need new carpet, study tables, and furniture for the childrens’ area,” said branch manager Katie Cox. “We are exploring options including grants for funding. Donations are welcome.” Once the current projects are done, the library will have an updated feel. “We are very excited,” Cox said. “It is a lot of work and everyone is looking forward to the finished product. The Belmont community deserves a comfortable and beautiful library.” The Belmont branch has roots going back to 1947 when the NC legislature authorized Belmont to accept a gift of

It’s Your Turn! When I was in school, I always dreaded my turn to answer questions, or work out math problems on the chalkboard. I was perfectly content blending in with the crowd. I did not need to be at the top, nor did I want to be at the bottom. I wanted to blend in with my surroundings. However, as Christians, we are to do more than blend in, we are to stand out for Jesus Christ. This past Sunday we observed our Lord’s Supper together. As I thought upon this event, I was reminded how Jesus sat together with His disciples, before He would die upon the cross, rise again, and then ascend to the Father. Jesus would soon end His earthly ministry, and it would be the disciples’ turn to minister to the world. Matthew 26:18-35 tells of the first Lord’s Supper as Jesus gathered with the twelve disciples together for one final time. During this time, Jesus reminds them that one of them will betray Him soon, Judas. Jesus then takes the bread and blesses it reminding them of His broken body upon the cross. He then took the cup reminding them that this represented His blood, which would be shed for them soon. As Jesus finished this supper with His disciples, their reaction to Jesus and His sacrifice reminds us of our reaction to Jesus. It was their turn, and some obeyed. All of the disciples, apart from Judas, obeyed the call of Christ to proclaim the gospel to the world. They reflected Jesus to everyone they met. They laid their lives down in the service of Christ. Some blended in. Most of the disciples are known primarily in church tradition and history after the resurrection of Christ. They were
faithful, yet blended into the work of the early church. Some rejected. Tragically, Judas, who witnessed all of the works of Christ, rejected his Lord. Some changed their world. Peter and Rev. Trent Rankin John were not content Salvation Church to simply obey, they Gastonia, NC changed their world salvationchurchnc.org for Jesus Christ, and salvationchurchnc@gmail.com their words recorded in the Bible speak to our hearts today. The disciples’ earthly ministries are over now. Now it is our turn. The church is in our hands now. How will we react? Will we be obedient Christians proclaiming Jesus, while living for Him? Will we simply blend in? Sadly too often there is little difference between those proclaiming Christ in their lives, and the world they live in. Instead of transforming the world, we too often conform to it. Will we reject Jesus? Millions reject Jesus Christ every day. Will we change our world for Jesus? Like Peter and John, may we absolutely turn our world upside down for Jesus Christ. May we never be content to blend in, may we never rest until we have led everyone we meet to Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus is with the Father, the disciples are rejoicing in Heaven too. Now it is our turn. How will we answer?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Submitted by Ron Wade REMEMBER ME ? Some people call me Old Glory, others call me the Star Spangled Banner, but whatever they call me, I am your flag, the flag of the United States of America. Something has been bothering me, so I thought I might talk it over with you. I remember some time ago people lined up on both sides of the street to watch the parade and naturally, I was always there, proudly waving in the breeze. When your daddy saw me coming, he immediately removed his hat and placed it over his heart. Remember? And you, I remember you standing there straight as a soldier. You didn`t have a hat, but you were giving the right salute. Remember your little sister? Not to be outdone, she was saluting the same as you, with her hand over her heart, Remember? What happened? I`m still the same old flag. Oh, I have added a few more stars since you were a boy, and a lot of blood has been shed since those parades of long ago. But I don`t feel as proud as I used to. When I came down your street, you just stand there with your hands in your pockets. I may get a small glanbce, but then you look away.I see the children running around and shouting.They don`t seem to know who I am. I saw one man take off his hat and look around. He didn`t see anybody else with his hat off so he quickly put his back on. Is it a sin to be Patriotic anymore? Have you forgotten what I stand for and where I`ve been? Anzoi, Guadalcanal, Korea, Iraq, Afganistan and Vietnam. Take a look at the Memorial Honor Roll some time. Look at the names of those who never came back in order to keep this Republic free. One Nation Under God. When you salute me, you are actually saluting them. Well it want be long until I`ll be down your street again. So when you see me, stand straight, place your right hand over your heart. I`ll salute you waving back. And I`ll know that you REMEMBERED !

Meditations Shoes to fill Many years ago I remember stepping into a new position. I was told, “You have big shoes to fill.” I was compared to the former person who held the position. I reflected on that remark constantly. I also noticed I tried to walk in the steps of that person. It was not successful. God did not create me to be that person. God created me to be me. Now, when I hear that remark I respond, “No, I have my shoes to fill.” We are wonderfully and marvelously created by God. God has provided each of us with unique gifts and ability. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT. But, there are times we forgot how unique and gifted God created us to be. We forget when we start comparing ourselves to others. Have you ever felt you were living under the shadow of others? You have gifts and abilities, but you feel you are part of the

Be encouraged; there is a greater shadow we are to dwell. There is Rev. Angela Pleasants a shadow that will allow us to feel safe District and to walk in the fullness of who we Superintendent were created to be. of Catawba Valley God did not create us unique with Methodist Churches valuable gifts to be oppressed and stifled. He created us to reflect the light of Christ in the world through our giftedness. We were not created to walk under anyone’s shadow, but we are called to rest under God’s shadow. “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 NLT. Under God’s shadow, we find refuge, stability and the power to withstand obstacles. When we dwell in the inner sanctuary of God, we continue to mature as Christians and in our giftedness. God gives us exactly what we need. Don’t settle for being a cheap imitation, be the original God created you to be. What God has for you, you are the only one that can fulfill it in the way God needs it to be accomplished. So, find your home under the shadow of God. He will nurture, protect and establish you. There is only one shadow we are to dwell. That is the protective shadow of the Almighty God.

Belmont Eye carries on 60-year tradition A small brick building tucked neatly between two restaurants and a bank on Kenwood Street in Belmont has been dedicated to eye care for 60 years, and a new era of service began with the grand opening of Belmont Eye.. Optometrist Dr. Bradley Wruble bought the building from Dr. Craig Spangler, who practiced there for 40 years. The building was built as an optometric practice in 1957. A complete renovation was carried out before Dr. Wruble began working in the building recently. Dr. Spangler and his wife Gayle
participated in the ribbon-cutting, along with the Wrubles, their children and members of both of their families. A large crowd of Chamber members, Belmont city officials and downtown neighbors also attended and enjoyed refreshments provided by Peace-NHominy Q Shack. The practice hours are 8:30 - 5:30 weekdays and Saturdays by appointment. For more information on Belmont Eye, call 704.825.5322, or visit www.belmonteye.net.

Every time the “Jaws” theme played and the shark took flight, someone won a fantastic door prize. Guests had to tear themselves away from a table loaded with H&M Catering food to see if they were taking home wireless Bluetooth headphones, a phone sanitizer and charger, an insulated backpack or other great gift. The event was in a beautiful second floor space made available through Coldwell Banker Commercial MECA.

All available space will be revitalized, while preserving some of the original character from 1906, such as the exposed brick. “As a resident of Mount Holly, we are excited to see what this renovation to the Holland Building can bring to the city,” said BSB Group manager and brother Wesley Bishop. “We enjoy the festivals and the events the city offers, I hope this can offer residents more options.” BSB Group or Bishop, Sanders, Bass, is made up of immediate family members, including four siblings local to Belmont and Mount Holly. The family grew up in West Charlotte and since then has settled down nearby. They came together on this project after Wes, one of the brothers, spotted the potential in the building. Everyone has been very hands on and brings different skills to the project. Photo by Alan Hodge

Red Raiders stomp Shelby take conference crown By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
When the Southern Piedmont 2A football schedule came out last summer the ShelbySouth Point game was billed as what could be the top game in the state. It would be a battle between two defending state champions. As the season wore on the match up became more and more important. Both teams had played well in 2017. South Point was undefeated. The Golden Lions had only lost one game. The Shelby loss came in a non-conference loss to South Carolina’s South Pointe. When the two teams finally met in Belmont the anticipation was high. The stakes were even higher. The winner would be the Southern Piedmont conference champion. The winner also had a good shot at getting the first seed in the western bracket of the NCHSAA playoffs. In a game that did not disappoint the home crowd the Red Raiders hit the Golden Lions hard and never let up. South Point walked off the field with a huge 35-15 win and a conference title. “We jumped on them early,” head coach Adam Hodge said. “I think that helped us get some momentum going.” In the first quarter South Point scored first when Matthew Robinson blocked a Shelby punt and took it home. A Cade Ratliff PAT kick put South Point up 7-0. Shortly after that, Jake Alexander rumbled for a 56-yard touchdown run. Another Ratliff PAT gave the Red Raiders a 14-0 lead. In the second quarter South Point scored again, this time off of a Ray Greer 36 yard run. The Grier run was followed by a Ratliff PAT. Ratliff ended the day nailing five PAT tries. Shelby’s only answer to South Point’s 21 first half points was a field goal. The half ended with South Point up 21-9. In the third quarter South Point and Shelby
traded touchdowns. Scottie Lee was able to score off of a 52-yard run early in the third. The Golden Lions jumped back in the game with a 56-yard touchdown pass. The Shelby PAT was blocked and South Point maintained the lead. As the fourth quarter got underway Shelby knew they were behind but it looked like there was little that they could do. South Point’s Keaton Hale got into the end zone off an 8 yard run at the 6:50 mark. Yet another Ratliff PAT pushed the Red Raider lead to 35-9. As well as South Point was doing, Shelby was not about to give up. After the Hall score the Golden Lions returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. “When we faced a little bit of adversity we were mentally tough,” coach Hodge stated. “We battled, I think we competed.” After the kickoff TD South Point kept everything in check. The game ended with the scoreboard reading South Point 35 Shelby 15. The win cemented an undefeated season for the Red Raiders. The win also meant that South Point would be the top seed in the western bracket of the upcoming 2A state playoffs. The road to the state championship would go through Belmont. Coach Hodge and the Red Raiders coaching staff had to be thrilled with the win. “Our offense played well our defense played well” Hodge added. “We gave up a TD on special teams. We need to work on that. Other than a kickoff for a touchdown we played well in all three phases.” Against the Golden Lions, South Point chose to win the old fashion way. South Point won playing tough defense and implementing a smash mouth offensive game plan. In the Shelby game, the Red Raiders never attempted a pass. They just ran. South Point amassed 337 yards of offense. All of it came on the ground. All year the Red Raiders had been prepping for the Shelby Showdown. Now that game is over. Now the Red Raiders will need to shift their focus to the playoffs. In the 1st round South Point will face off against the West Iredell Warriors. The 5-6 Warriors are from the Northwestern Foothills 2A conference. The Warriors finished their conference record 3-3. Game time will be 7:30 at Lineberger Stadium on Friday. See more on page 13

After a tough loss to the Thomas Jefferson Academy the Mountain Island Charter Raptors football team came back strong with a convincing 66-15 win over the Highland Tech Rams. After the Thomas Jefferson game the Raptors moved a few things around in anticipation for the upcoming playoffs. Some small tweaks the team hoped would pay off down the stretch. “We bounced back from the Thomas Jefferson loss,” head coach Robert Washington said. “We got a solid week of work with some new guys that are in new roles. It helped to get them game time experience.” The Raptors game against the Rams was designated as senior night. It could not have come at a better time. The Mountain Island seniors had a great game. “We had some seniors step-up,” Washington said. “We wanted to get all the seniors going. We wanted to send them off well. It was the last regular-season home game.” One of the seniors that had a great game was quarterback Kyle Holcomb. Last year Holcomb had a great season. He led a Raptor passing attack that was capable of striking at anytime. This year Holcomb went into the season sharing quarterbacking duties with newcomer Marcus Graham. Though new to the team, Graham was a top tier player. Both players have played well this year, but as the season rolled on Graham became a more intricate part of the offense. Holcomb saw his playing time diminish. In the Highland Tech game things changed a bit. In an act of pure sportsmanship Graham wanted the starters role to go to the senior. “We were going to do two quarterbacks,” Washington said.
Mountain Island Charter School
“One half Kyle, one half Marcus. Marcus came to us and asked for Kyle to take it all.” The coaches agreed and moved Graham to wide receiver. The move paid off for both players. Holcomb passed for over 400 yards and five touchdowns. At wide out, Graham nabbed 120 yards in receiving and two touchdowns. The move left the Raptors with the kind of problem coaches wish they had. What do you do with two players that are so talented? Both players are different. Graham is a real dual threat. He is an excellent runner and passer. Holcomb on the other hand is a superior pocket passer with decent running abilities. Both players are also capable of playing wide receiver. What to do, what to do.... Coach Washington and the Raptors staff will be turning the gears trying to figure out how to use both in the playoffs. “We have rotated both to wide receiver at times,” coach Washington said of Graham and Holcomb. “It gives us versatility.” Mountain Island dominated and all facets of the game the Raptors had 601 yards of total offense compared to Highland Techs 203. MI’s top runner was sophomore Elijah Burris who had 132 yards and four touchdowns. Burris has had a great 2017 campaign. He ended the season with 1,434 yards 21 touchdowns. Great numbers for any player, much less a sophomore. Defensively, the Raptors decimated the Rams offense. Mountain Island had eight sacks two interceptions. Mason King was the Raptors top tackler with 11 stops. The Raptors ended the regular season 8-3. They are now going into the playoffs with the #4 seed in the 1A Western bracket of the NCHSAA playoffs. With a quirk of the schedule MI drew a first-round bye. In the second round they will have a home game against the winner of the Robbinsville-Rosman matchup.

The Mt. Holly PD held a “Coffee with a Cop” event in the training room of the Municipal Complex recently. The event let local residents meet and chat with their police officers in an informal atmosphere, making it easier to get to know each other and build relationships. Around thirty people or so came by and had a cup of coffee and chatted. Several city council members and city administrators also dropped in to talk with the citizens that came by. “We always enjoy having an opportunity to meet with our citizens and take a moment to get to know one another better,” said Chief Don Roper. “Events like this make it easier to relate as individuals, and to build positive relationships between the police and the public we serve.” MHPD photo
