New Stanley Middle School project progressing rapidly By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
Ever since ground was broken on July 19, 2016 for the new Stanley Middle School, work on the project has moved forward at a brisk pace. So much so that the plan is to move students into the shining educational edifice soon after the first of 2018. The building represents an investment of around $27.5 million funded by a school bond referendum approved by voters in 2007. The new school will accommodate around 800 sixth through eighth graders from the Stanley and Mt. Holly areas. Total capacity will be around 1,000 students. The two-story, state of the art facility will feature 135,000 sq. ft. of space in more than 40 classrooms equipped with the latest technology and teaching aids. In a “flip-flop” of the

This week's Belmont Sports Hall of Fame inductee spotlight shines on Devon Lowery whose induction into the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame will occur on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. Other inductees include Rick Cherry, Stephen Cowie, and the 2011 NCHSAA State Champion South Point High School Baseball team.

He was the 2000 Gazette Offensive Player of the Year and the first quarterback to be asked to run the latest iteration of the vaunted "Red Bone" Offense. The 1999 Red Raider football team began to re-write the proud tradition of the school and started a run of twelve

NEW SCHOOL from page 1 building will be demolished after students move into the new school during the 20172018 school year. The new athletic fields will be located where the current school building sits and should be finished in 2018. The new school will feature: a modern library and media center, which will serve as the heart of the school and be located near the main entrance; a spacious cafeteria with stage area and large gymnasium to allow for a variety of uses; grades separated by wings, with the sixth grade on the main floor and seventh and eighth grades on the second floor as well as administration areas
on each floor; separate bus and vehicle entrances plus 175 parking spaces and a pick-up lane that is able to accommodate 90 cars; maximum use of natural light and energy efficiency throughout the school; and new athletic facilities including a multipurpose football field with a six-lane track, a 300-foot baseball field, bleachers, a field house, and equipment storage facility. The new school will replace the older building that formerly served as Stanley's high school and junior high dating back to the 1940s. Stanley Middle principal Rebecca Huffstetler says the students and staff have been
watching progress on the new building with eager anticipation. “The new school is going to be a source of great pride for Stanley and we are looking forward to getting into the new building and seeing how the new campus will serve our community for years to come,” Huffstetler said. Moving the staff, students, and classroom materials into the new structure will Architectural rendering of the new Stanley Middle School that is under construction. be an interesting exercise in logistics. The plan calls for teachers to take a work day and move their classroom supplies into their respective rooms in the new building and for the students to occupy the rooms afterward.

HALL OF FAME from page 1 conference championships over the next fourteen seasons. Devon grabbed a Southwestern Conference Offensive Player of the Year award and a Shrine Bowl selection during his senior season. His 2,450 rushing yards and 4,339 total offensive yards over his career became the mark that other Gaston County high school quarterbacks were measured. His career 1,899 passing yards were the most by any South Point quarterback, and the 330 points that he scored were good for second all-time in Gaston County football lore. When the Friday night lights dimmed in December, Devon picked his basketball up and spent his winter on the hardwoods. As a four-year varsity starter and a two-time all-conference selection, Devon led the South Point basketball team to fifteen wins as a junior and the team's first playoff win since 1989. A sectional finals appearance during that season made history for South Point basketball because it was just the second appearance in school history. As the freezing tempera-
The Banner News / banner-news.com tures of winter gave way to the warming breezes of Spring, Devon's thoughts turned to his favorite sport, baseball. It was on the diamond that Devon made a name for himself as a four-year starting pitcher for the Red Raider baseball team. Named to three all-conference teams and chosen All-Gazette twice. In 2001, he was named All-State 3a baseball player of the year and led the team to the Southwestern Conference Championship in 2001 and the third round of the state playoffs. In American Legion ball, Devon pitched for teams that won 13 games in 1999 and 18 games in 2000. In 2000, the Gaston Braves eclipsed their previous record for wins with eighteen and became the first Braves team to win two playoff series. After his high school career finished, he got the call that many players can only dream about in their wildest dreams. The Kansas City Royals made him their 14th round pick in the June 2001 Major
Page 3
League draft. Devon compiled a record of 30 wins and 29 losses with 21 saves over his eight-year minor league career. In 494 innings pitched, he struck out 420 batters or .85 strikeouts per inning pitched in the minor leagues. He was named the Omaha Royals AAA pitcher of the year in 2008 and was called up to the major leagues that September where he appeared in five games recording six strikeouts over 4.1 innings pitched. A torn labrum in late 2008 forced him to miss the entire 2009 season and in 2010 he returned to reach AAA Omaha of the Pacific Coast League before tearing his labrum again. This effectively ended his playing career and moved him down the path of coaching. He stayed with the Kansas City Royals organization and was a pitching coach for Idaho Falls Chukars before leaving professional baseball behind in 2013. Devon returned to Gaston County to be closer to his wife and two children. He

Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week is a beautiful Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle mix) named Biscuit. He is 7-8 years old and weighs 48 pounds. Biscuit was surrendered by his owner to Charlotte Animal Care & Control. He is a sweet boy looking for a permanent home. Biscuit is good with everyone including other pets. He has poodle hair so grooming is required on a regular basis. Biscuit has been groomed recently so this is his “groomed” look. Biscuit is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm negative and micro-chipped. The Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Miniature or Standard Poodle. Like both of his parent breeds, he’s intelligent, friendly, and at least moderately active. He has a shaggy or curly coat that requires maintenance. Labradoodles are intelligent, friendly, and affectionate. They have a moderate activity level. Larger Labradoodles may be more active than their smaller kin. They need a good walk or active playtime each day. They can also be excellent therapy dogs. Both of the breeds used to create Labradoodles tend to be smart and learn quickly. Poodles have a reputation for being hypoallergenic, meaning that they can supposedly be tolerated by people who have allergies to dogs. Because they have the Poodle in their heritage, Labradoodles are sometimes promoted as being hypoallergenic. 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-

Preparing for growth in Gaston County was the topic for discussion when 40 elected officials, city managers, planners and economic development professionals met recently to follow up on ideas stemming from a “Get Ready Gaston” forum held earlier at Belmont Abbey College. Gaston Economic Development Director Donny Hicks (red tie) facilitated a 90-minute discussion of ideas stemming from the "Get Ready Gaston Forum on Preparing for Growth" when 40 participants in the forum re-convened a week after the event. The forum follow-up took place at the Kimbrell Campus of Gaston College in Belmont, with Gaston Economic Development Director Donny Hicks facilitating. The Montcross Area Chamber coordinated both meetings, with financial support from Carolinas HealthCare System. More than 100 elected officials and other leaders from all parts of Gaston County attended “Get Ready Gaston.” The objective of both meetings was “to help Gaston County leaders become better informed about and prepare for the impact of growth as Charlotte expands to the west.” Montcross Chamber photo

Nurse-Family Partnership helps Gaston County families The Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a free program that pairs first-time mothers with nurses from the woman’s pregnancy through the child’s second birthday. The nurses provide support and guidance to moms on everything from breastfeeding to nutrition, even how to properly put in a car seat. Barb and Shelley are a nurse-mom pair with the Gaston County NFP program. They met after Shelley was referred to the program from her local health department. Barb has been there to answer all of Shelley’s ques-
tions and give her the support and encouragement that she needs to be the best mom that she can be. A typical experience between the two can be summed up by a time when Shelley had a question of where exactly to put her car seat and Barb answered via text with simple instructions and helpful encouragement. Barb knows that the first few years of being a mom can be nerve-wracking, but support and simply being there can be helpful to build a mom’s confidence. Barb has even motivated Shelley to go back to school and become a

Riversweep event set 2017 is the fifteenth year of Riversweep, the annual clean-up event of Lake Wylie’s 325 mile shoreline, an event that draws volunteers from the three-county region surrounding the lake and beyond. This year Riversweep will be held on Saturday, October 7th, from 8 AM to 12 PM. Individuals, families, scouts, and church groups pitch in every year; about 700-1000 volunteers are expected to participate again this year. Boat owners serve as Boat Captains to shuttle volunteers who retrieve the trash and debris from the shoreline. Pontoon boats are particularly useful. Volunteers can register at www.lakewylieriversweep. com to participate at one of the 15 Riversweep site locations around Lake Wylie:
Allison Creek Access, Buster Boyd Bridge Access, Catawba Yacht Club, Ebenezer Park, Gaston County Wildlife Club Landing, Harbortowne Marina, Loftin Riverfront Park Boat Landing, Long Cove Marina, Nivens Creek Access, Pier 88 Marina, Seven Oaks Bridge, Tega Cay Marina, The Vineyards on Paw Creek, Riverside Marina, and Tailrace Marina. Volunteers choose the most convenient site when they pre-register online. Walk-up volunteers register at the site they select the morning of the event. Pre-registration eends Oct. 2 Site Captains at each location check in volunteers, provide them with a Riversweep T-shirt, trash bags and grabbers, work
gloves, and bottled water, and direct them to an area of the shoreline to clean. Some go on boats, others by vehicles to the designated areas, and still others paddle kayaks into the shallow reaches of creeks and coves. Additional volunteers staff the sites with dumpsters and help unload trash from boats and vehicles. Boat Captains receive the “coveted” Riversweep Boat Captain Cap. The Benefits The benefits of Riversweep to communities, municipalities, counties, and the region are significant. A lake with a healthy ecosystem, one that is free of trash, debris, and hazards to navigation, is essential to building and maintaining a strong local economy.
above and beyond our limitations. “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.” Ephesians Rev. Angela Pleasants 3:20 NASB. God, by District his Spirit, takes up Superintendent residence in our soul of Catawba Valley and transforms us. The Methodist Churches indwelling of God’s Spirit means we are not our own. It is of God we find our true self, the way God intended for us to be. As we believe in Jesus, we become vessels where the continual flow of rivers of living water is poured out in a blessing to all. Will you surrender fully to Christ and receive the flood of the Holy Spirit? Everywhere we go we are alive and active because life dwells in us. “Like a rushing wind, Jesus breathe within. Lord have your way in me. Like a mighty storm stir within my soul. Lord have your way in me. I surrender."
It’s a New Day
This past Sunday I had the privilege of baptizing two people into the faith. There is no greater thing a pastor does than baptizing people who have a new relationship with Jesus Christ. During this time, I was reminded of the new life we have in Jesus Christ as Christians. Genesis 6-8 tells the story of one of the best know Bible characters, Noah. As we know, God was sorry He has created man due to their growing evil, and their lives full of sin. God decided to destroy the world by a great flood. However, in His mercy and grace, God spares the one righteous man and his family, Noah. God directs Noah to build an ark to save his family, and two of each animal upon the earth. After they enter the ark, the rains fall and the earth is completely flooded. Noah and his family are in the ark for about a year before the water recedes, and they leave the ark for dry land. As they exit, they praise and worship God for His mercy. God promises never to destroy the world are the supporting sponsors.

Gaston College hosts Textiles Day Open House On Friday, October 6, the Gaston College Textile Technology Center will host a Textiles Day open house in conjunction with the observance of North Carolina Manufacturing Day and Manufacturing Week. Manufacturing Day is also observed throughout the United States. The National Association of Manufacturers instituted Manufacturing Day in 2012 as an annual celebration of modern manufacturing with the goal of inspiring the next generation of manufacturers. The Textiles Day open house at the Textile Technology Center (TTC) is intended to improve the image of textiles in the local region, build on the rich local heritage of textiles, and interest people in pursuing a career in textiles. Attendees will learn about the cutting edge technologies that are used to manufacture advanced textile products, and about the multiple and diverse applications for modern textiles. Local textile manufacturing companies are lending their support to the event, with the goal of promoting the vibrancy of the textile industry and the many career opportunities that it offers.

One of my favorite praise songs is I Surrender by Hillsong. The lyrics have become my prayer. “Like a rushing wind, Jesus breathe within. Lord have your way in me. Like a mighty storm stir within my soul. Lord have your way in me. I surrender.” Recently, we have experienced some devastating winds and floods. But, there is a continually flowing river that is powerful in a good way. It is the rivers of God’s blessings flowing into a parched world. “He who believes in me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:38 NASB. How will God bless the world with this river of living water? It is the work of the Holy Spirit flowing from the heart of the redeemed by God. This work of the Spirit brings life. It is the same powerful work of the resurrection, the power that raised Jesus from the dead and ordained him in the heavens. Take a moment and let this sink into your mind. This powerful work of the Holy Spirit flowing from God is also at work in the believer. Will you surrender fully to Christ and receive the flood of the Holy Spirit? We have little expectations. But, God does not fit the limitations of our expectations. He can do
bow to remind all people of His promise. As we look at this story of Noah, it reminds us of our new walk with Jesus Christ as we receive Him into our hearts. Noah left the ark for a new world. Everything was new, the land, sea, and even the mountains were all brand new. Noah had a clean slate to go into the world. In the same way, when Jesus comes into our lives, we are new creatures, as we have a new life in Him. Everything from Noah’s past had been erased. All of the people, the cities, and places were gone. When we receive Jesus, the past is erased. All of our sins, and the things we have done are erased. God does not hold us to the past, He looks to tomorrow. God did not remind Noah of what had been before, He told him to “be fruitful and multiply on the earth” (Genesis 8:17, NKJV). When you have been washed in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, God does not remember your sin any longer. He sees you as perfect through Jesus Christ. God gave Noah a second

chance for a new life. He could have destroyed everything including Noah, yet he loved him and spared him. Because of our sin, God could have destroyed us, yet because He loves us, He sent His Only Son to die in our place, for our sin. God has given us a second chance to live. Our old life is passed away, and we have a new opportunity to serve and live for God. May we never waste the great opportunity we have as new people in Jesus Christ. Each day, may we live for, and serve, Jesus Christ. Tell someone this week of the great things God has done for you!
Practice portable generator safety stumble over items to get to the generator. Clear a wide pathway to the generator to prevent falls. Ventilation Generators produce more carbon monoxide than car engines. Carbon monoxide--an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas--starves the body of oxygen, causing nausea, headaches and even death. To avoid exposing your family and your self to carbon monoxide, place the generator at least 20 feet from the house. Never operate a generator indoors. Electrical Check that the cords and wires on the generator are not frayed or exposed. Use only grounded, three-prong electrical plugs and avoid extension
cords. Do not plug a portable generator into a wall socket to try to power your home. This can cause electrical damage and place electricians who repair the electrical system at serious risk for electrocution. Hire a licensed electricians to connect a permanent standby generator to your electrical system if necessary. These types of generators are especially designed to handle the electrical demands of the home. Fuel Check that the generator is off and cool before attempting to fuel it. Label the generator fuel clearly, and store it in a cool location away from other combustible materials.

Bessemer City slips past Mountain Island 22-21 By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Mountain Island Charter football started their 2017 conference schedule facing off against one of the toughest teams in the Southern Piedmont 1A, Bessemer City. It was to be a game that would likely shape both team’s long term goals and potential playoff situation in the beginning of the season many believed that the winner of this matchup would be the eventual conference champion. In a game that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, Bessemer City came from behind and beat Mountain Island 22-21. Things started slowly as both teams went scoreless in the first quarter. Mountain Island got on the board first in the 2nd quarter when Marcus Graham rolled into the endzone after a 10-yard run. Todd Pledger nailed the PAT and Mountain was up 7-0. The Raptors took the 7-0 score into the locker room as the half ended. Both teams came out hard in the third quarter. Bessemer City scored mid-way through the quarter but missed the PAT. That meant Mountain Island was still up 7-6. Raptor sophomore running back Elijah Burris made it into the end zone with 1:33 on the clock at the end of the 3rd. Mountain Island missed the PAT but was still up 13-6. Moments after Mountain Island scored the Yellow Jackets ripped off a huge 92 yard kickoff return for a TD. Bessemer City decided to go for a two point conversion to take the lead. The gamble paid of when the Yellow Jackets made the conversion and took a 14-13 lead into the
4th quarter. In the 4th quarter Mountain Islands CJ Stephens picked off a pass and brought it back 35 yards for a touchdown. Burris scored again this time on a two-point conversion. Mountain Island was back in the lead, but not for long. It didn’t take Bessemer City long to answer when they scored off of a 10 yard run to push ahead. Bessemer City went for the two-point conversion and made it. That gave the Yellow Jackets a 22-21 lead that they were able to hold on to for the rest of the game. It’s fair to say that both teams played very well. Elijah Burris was Mountain Island’s offensive producer. Burris had 136 yards off of 21 carries and a touchdown. Marcus Graham had 111 yards off of 22 carries and a touchdown. Graham was not anywhere near as effective throwing the ball as he had been in the past he went 3 for 8 for 10 yards. In total the Raptors have 297 yards of total offense. Bessemer City had only had 243 yards of total offense, but the Yellow Jackets were able to make the best of what was given to them and they eked out the win. Mason King and Michael Spivey were the Raptor’s top tacklers. King had 13 stops and Spivey had 12. A loss like this will be tough on the 3-2 Raptors, but the season is far from over. There’s no doubt that Mountain Island would have wanted to walk away with this win. However, let’s be honest the loss stinks but conference champions are not crowned in September. The Raptors will live to play another day.

Cramer loses Big South opener to Mountaineers by John Wilson john.bannernnews@gmail.com
On Friday night Stuart Cramer football got a taste of what life in the newly revamped Big South 3A conference was going to be like. Cramer started their conference schedule hosting a very tough Kings Mountain program. In a game where the Storm just couldn’t take advantage of opportunities the visiting Mountaineers beat the Storm 48-14. Kings Mountain was able to put together a game plan that attacked Cramer on the ground and in the air. The normally reliable Cramer defense had a tough way to go against the Mountaineers as Kings Mountain racked up over 500 yards of total offense. The Mountaineers dominated the first half of the game. Kings Mountain was up 21-0 at the half In the second half, the Storm fought back with touchdown runs by Luke Carpenter and Ethan Lurry. However, this just wasn’t going to be Cramer’s day. No matter what Cramer did Kings Mountain answered. In the 3rd quarter Cramer put up 14 points, Kings Mountain answered putting up 14 of their own. In the 4th quarter the Mountaineers scored two more touchdowns to cement the victory. Cramer head coach Ben McMillan liked the spirit his team showed. He just wished the team took advantage of the chances they got. “We dug ourselves a hole in the first half,” McMillan said. “But I was proud of our guys at the beginning of the second half.” The way the Storm came out of the locker room in the second half impressed McMillan. “Down 21-0 we were able to cut the lead to 7 but couldn’t keep that momentum,” he said. The Storm played hard but the just didn’t get the kind of big time production they needed or that they were capable of. In all the Storm had 142 yards of total offense. The top runner for Cramer was Kaiser Kayton who had 72 yards off nine carries. McMillan gives credit where it is due, he also knows what work is still needing to be done if the the team is to rise to the next level. “Kings Mountain is a very good football team,”McMillan added. “We are going to have to learn to take advantage of opportunities, execute better on offense, and eliminate penalties and turnovers to be able to beat good football teams.” The 3-2 Storm will have to regroup quickly. Up next Cramer will travel to Shelby to take on the Crest Charger.

North Carolina autumn leaf color outlook is great The NC mountains usually have six weeks of autumn color. Find the areas of best color by taking a short drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway or other scenic drives up the mountain ridges. Elevation is the biggest factor for time of color change, along with the cooling weather. An early frost speeds up the color change and warm weather prolongs it. Peak Color 2017 Prediction Spotty color is already appearing in the highest regions thanks to a cool first half of the month. Debut color now is along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Rough Ridge and Graveyard Fields areas. • September Last Week: 6,000+ feet elevation: Many high ridges like Mount Mitchell have spotty color, while these two lofty places along the Parkway usually turn first: Rough Ridge and Graveyard Fields. • October First Week: Above 5,000 feet elevation. The leaves in the highest mountains north of Asheville turn first, especially , Craggy Gardens, and Beech Mountain. South on the Parkway, head to Waterrock Knob and Black Balsam areas. • October Second Week: 4,000-5,000 feet elevation. Brilliant color really picks up

N.C. Forest Service offers guidance for assessing tree damage after recent storms A weakened Hurricane Irma brought strong winds and rain to North Carolina that could have affected forestland and trees. The N.C. Forest Service encourages landowners and others to exercise caution when assessing storm damage to their woodlands or trees around their homes. Those concerned about the health of their trees should seek advice from their county ranger or other forestry professionals. Storm damage could include uprooting, wounding, bending and breaking of trees. Standing water, which often accompanies hurricanes, can cause additional stress and mortality. The N.C. Forest Service can help with post-storm inspection, or owners can hire a consulting forester for large tract of lands and an arborist for trees around their homes. Woodland damage “Woodlands are often more resilient than we think and will likely recover,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “If you’re a landowner concerned about your woodlands, talk to your county ranger or a consulting forester who can help you determine if you need a plan for managing damaged timber.”
A management plan should be requested as soon as possible to assess any damage and recommend mitigation measures. A sketch map or aerial photograph of the affected area can also be helpful. The next step is to ground check the damage to determine the need for salvaging the timber. Any salvage operation will depend on location, amount and type of damage, and management objectives. It is important that landowners have a written contract before selling any of their salvage timber to protect their financial interests. A consulting forester can help with appraising the value of timber and what markets may be available. A management plan will help with planning for the future of the woodlands once the damage is cleaned up. Residential tree assessment State Forester David Lane said that after a storm, hasty or emotional decisions about damaged trees can result in unnecessary removals or drastic pruning. Proper and professional pruning practices can help a tree recover from the storm damage. How long that takes can depend on the amount and extent of damage, the tree species and its initial health and age. “A reputable certified ar-
borist can help advise on management, pruning and removal decisions based on your situation,” Lane said. “Prompt, but not hasty, action will get trees on the road to recovery.” If homeowners decide to prune their own trees, it’s important to follow basic safety rules: • Watch for downed utility lines and treat them all as live until a utility company official has determined the line is not energized. Even cable TV lines can carry electric current if they contact a power line. • Be safe with chain saws. Operation of a chain saw in normal conditions can be dangerous. The aftermath of a storm is not the time for inexperienced users to learn. • Work with an established, local tree service if necessary. Hire only an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. After a storm, some homeowners are reluctant to replace downed trees, while others choose to remove trees regardless of how well they survived the storm. Tree damage and tree failures can cause property damage, but the possibility of tree failures can be managed through proper maintenance. To learn more about recovering from storms and fires, visit the N.C. Forest Service at http://ncforestservice.gov and follow the links under “Managing Your Forest” and “Urban and Community Forestry.” Contact information for county rangers also is available on the website.

Coming in on the heels of the celebration of their centennial, Cramerton will observe yet another milestone in October when the Cramerton Police Department celebrates 50 yearsof providing police services to the residents and visitors of Cramerton and McAdenville. At a meeting on Monday, August 28, 1967, the Cramerton Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to establish a police department to begin operation on October 1, 1967. Police services were being provided at the time by the Gaston County Rural Police. Lewis Brittain was hired as the department’s first police chief and was responsible for organizing the department and hiring the agency’s first officers. Brittain was compensated at a rate of $585.00 per month. Brittain left the department in June 1974. The department is currently led by Chief Greg Ratchford. Ratchford grew up in Cramerton and has been with the force for over 28 years. Ratchford became the department’s fifth police chief in 2005, upon the retirement of fellow home-grown Chief, M. David Young, who had served the department as chief since 1980. Previous chiefs also include David L. Rick (1974-1979) and James Coley (1979-1980). Cramerton police began providing supplemental police coverage to the Town of McAdenville in 2006, and in 2010, through an interlocal agreement, and expanded its responsibilities to include full-time police services within McAdenville. In addition to general police duties, department officers respond to cardiac arrest emergencies and were the first law enforcement agency within Gaston County to be trained and equipped with naloxone to be administered to persons suffering from an opioid overdose. The department maintains a strong training emphasis and has been recognized nationally for its firearms training program. The department currently employs sixteen full-time officers and five reserve officers with a combined total of 240 years of law enforcement experience. The average length of employment with the department is 12 years. A reception to celebrate the police department’s anniversary will be held from 5:00 –6:30 p.m. onThursday, October 5, 2017 at the Cramerton Town Hall. The public is invited to attend.

Gaston Schools September Good News More than 10,500 school supplies were donated to Gaston County Schools through the annual “School Tools” collection drive. The “Stuff That Bus!” event in partnership with Office Depot and the U.S. Post Office’s school supplies collection anchored the campaign. Other partners were The Gaston Gazette, Showmar’s Restaurant, and Ashley Furniture, which served as drop-off sites. Volunteers from the United Way of Gaston County took on the task of sorting the donated items during their annual “Day of Caring.” In addition, many area businesses and churches partnered with their neighborhood schools to provide students with supplies to begin the new academic year. Gaston County Schools received a pickup truck load of school supplies from Gastonia Nissan’s fourth annual “Fill the Frontier” collection drive. Social workers from seven schools visited the dealership to collect the supplies, which were distributed to their students. To celebrate the start of a new school year, the staff at Sherwood Elementary boarded a bus and distributed new and used books to families living in neighborhoods near the school. Belmont Middle School received $6,600 from Duke Energy’s Allen Steam Plant to purchase 30 Chromebooks and a charging station. Employees also volunteered a day of work on the school campus, taking care of landscaping, power washing, and other beautification projects. W.A. Bess Elementary teacher Tiffany Hobbs was named the 2017-2018 Educator of Excellence by the Gaston County Schools Department for Exceptional Children. W.A. Bess Elementary fifth grader Wilken Gray, an accomplished figure skater, won first place in the N.C. Powerade State Games; first place in the Atlanta Open; first place in the Knoxville Invitational; first place in the Charlotte Open; and first place at the Carolina Classic. He also participated in two performances for Scott Hamilton’s “Sk8 for the Cure” fundraising program and attended the 2017 U.S. Figure Skating Conference in Colorado. Costner Elementary got help from students in Cub Scout Pack 28 as well as parents and school staff to spruce up the school grounds by planting flowers, cutting grass, trimming shrubs and spreading pine needles. Teachers at Kiser Elementary participated in 497 hours of professional development this summer. Gaston Early College High School sophomore Hannah Hawkins published a book titled Phantom Act. Gaston Early College High School students Audrey Jones, Erin Dulin, Millicent Simmons, Mackenzie Wittmer, and teacher Laura Sexton traveled to Peru as part of the Gastonia Sister Cities program.
Stuart W. Cramer High School senior April Moore and North Gaston High School graduate Aubrey Bridges started a monthly community art program to connect young adults and young adults with disabilities in a fun, artistic environment. Gardner Park Elementary received a donation of 100 book bags filled with school supplies from Parkdale Mills. Ashlyn Parnell, an eighth grader at W.C. Friday Middle School, attended UCLA’s Ambassador Leadership Summit. Students chosen for the program are recognized by their teachers, parents, and peers for possessing leadership potential and caring about their community. Stanley Middle School conducted a collection drive to help people in Texas who were affected by Hurricane Harvey. The students, staff, and parents collected 77 cases of water, 315 cans of food, 51 bottles of bleach, 21 bottles of Clorox wipes, 32 bags of dog and cat food, 14 boxes of diapers, 6,000 baby wipes, and five bins of paper towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes and toothpaste, cleaning gloves, and cleaning sponges. The Highland School of Technology book club installed a little free library full of books to share with neighbors in the Highland community. Pleasant Ridge Elementary school counselor James Giambusso attended the Happy Teachers Change the World workshop sponsored by the Wake Up Schools organization. Students at Chapel Grove Elementary, Mount Holly Middle and York Chester Middle received school supplies from the Gaston County Jeep Club.
