BannerNews donates decades of Mt. Holly News volumes to Mt. Holly Historical Society
Friends, family, and former colleagues of the late John Kale gathered recently at North Belmont Elementary to remember his decades of service to the school and to name the bus parking lot in his honor. Kale, who passed away on Nov. 5, 2015 at the age of 82, was a fixture at North Belmont for more than 30 years, serving as a bus driver and custodian. Not only that, he lived across the street from the school and “kept an eye on things” even when he wasn't on the clock. More importantly, he touched the hearts and minds of everyone he came into contact with, especially the kids he carried to and from their homes on a bus. Kale was born on January 3, 1933 on the Stowe Spinning Mill village in North Belmont. He lived there with his family (mom, dad and 5 siblings) and worked at Stowe Spinning until he left in 1951 to serve in the Air Force in Texas, Korea and Japan). He was honorably discharged in 1955 and returned to his family and job at Stowe Spinning. In 1958 he went to Barber College in Durham and worked in Charlotte until opening his own shop in Springwood. As long hair became very popular in the early 70’s, his business started falling off drastically and he started driving a bus for Mt. Holly in February 1973 to supplement his income. An opportunity came up and he switched to North Belmont Elementary school on March 11, 1973. On October 22, 1973, he started working full time at East Gaston High School as a custodian. On March 11, 1974 he went to work full time at North Belmont as head custodian and continued to drive a bus. He retired from North Belmont Elementary school in the fall of 2010 but continued to open up and close the school for a number of years afterwards. Kale spent practically every day when the weather was warm sitting on his porch swing relaxing. Many parents, students and teachers would wave to him each day at the start and end of the day.

JOHN KALE The parking lot dedication included presentation to Kale's wife Brenda of the sign bearing his name and dates of service that will be mounted on a pole. “It is just an awesome honor to have this dedication for John,” she said. At the dedication event, North Belmont principal Ryan Smith asked if anyone would like to make a remark about Kale, there was no shortage of speakers. “We are excited and honored to hold this event today,” Smith said. “I heard many great stories about Mr. Kale. He is a legacy at this school and in the North Belmont community.” Kale's son Jeff spoke. “We are certain that he would have felt honored to have the parking lot named after him,” Jeff said. “He really loved the school, staff and students at North Belmont. He knew all the kids and where they lived.”

From page 1 Jeff went on to say that one of his dad's most beloved habits was to tell his bus riders stories as they rolled down the road. Both of Kale's granddaughters, Amber Spargo and Alicia Kale are school teachers and were at the event. “He inspired me to become a teacher,” said Amber. “I would not have missed this day.” Former North Belmont teacher Sarah Helton related how Kale unlocked the school door on a Sunday afternoon so she could get her attendance sheet. “He saved my bacon,” she said. Teacher Sharon Tolley also recalled Kale. “He looked after us and the buses,” she said. Now that the bus parking lot has been dedicated in his honor, Kale's legacy at North Belmont will deservedly live on for many, many years to come.

Main in Belmont, loaded every single one of the volumes in an SUV and made haste to get them to Mt. Holly. “The papers are coming home,” Brinkley said. “The MHHS Board is delighted to receive the 69 binders of the Mount Holly News, spanning the years from 1945 through 2004. These newspapers will provide a wealth of information about our community. Newspaper articles about the Mount Holly area and its citizens are an excellent way for us to understand our history and how Mount Holly evolved in the past 71 years.” Brinkley estimates it will take about six months to prepare the volumes for presentation in the muzseum library which will open in 2017.

assistant city manager Miles Braswell in helping craft the budget. “Miles and Africa have really worked hard to not only prepare and assist with next year's budget,” he said. “They have worked to ensure the current year's budget has been monitored to alleviate problems.” Jackson also gave a nod to all staff for pitching in to make the budget a balanced one. “Join me in thanking all of our employees that have been involved with preparing the submitted budget,” Jackson said. “We as a staff proudly take on the responsibility to carry out the will of the city council and to serve our citizens. I am pleased with the continuation of the newly instituted budget review process with city council in that the process is now streamlined to promote efficiency and productivity. The submitted budget meets all of the statutory requirements in North Carolina.” The approved budget keeps the tax rate at $0.53 per $100 of value. There will be no water and sewer rate increase. City employees will receive a 3% pay raise. The city will experience a 1.86% increase in health insurance coverage for employees. Last year the increase was 9%. The overall budget decreased $74,000 from $16,333,800 to $16,259,800. The General Fund is approximately $10.1 million for FY2016-2017. The Utility Fund is about $6.1 million. In other business, the council heard a presentation by Mt. Holly ABC Board chair Gary Neely. According to Neely, the Mt. Holly ABC store at 2100 Spring St. will have estimated FY2016-2017 sales revenues of just over $2 million. Interestingly, Neely pointed out that even though ABC stores are in the works for Cramerton and Belmont, sales at the Mt. Holly location are expected to remain strong. The council also got a report from Garrie Brinkley, president of the Mt. Holly Historical Society. Brinkley informed the council of some upcoming events including a big blowout commemorating the Great Flood of 1916. The Mt. Holly “Flood Fest” will take place Saturday, July 16 starting at 10am at the museum at 131 S. Main. There will be food trucks, live music, and a kid's zone. “We will be unveiling our new flood exhibit,” Brinkley said. “We will also ring the historic bell.” Another new exhibit Brinkley mentioned will be a Mt. Holly timeline as well as a computer workstation so folks can watch video oral histories from long time Mt. Holly residents.

Civil Air Patrol rocket launch at DSBG On Saturday, June 4th Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden teamed up with Gastonia Civil Air Patrol for a model rocket launch. This launch day was the culmination of CAP’s Model Rocketry Achievement Program for cadets – part of the aerospace education curriculum. This program requires building and launching a series of model rockets from the most basic rubber band Goddard rocket to a two-stage solid fuel model. Additionally, the cadets must pass an examination on the history of rocketry pioneers, Newton’s Laws of Motion and rocket aerodynamics. The challenge doesn’t end there. In the field on launch day weather conditions and winds must be taken into account for a successful launch. Months of hard work pays off when the ignition is lit
and liftoff is achieved. Launch day began with setting up the launch pad, then a safety briefing. Singlestage rockets were the first launches of the day and were a great success. Payload rockets were the next to go up. These are models designed to carry an object into flight and return it safely to the ground. Two-stage rockets, which contain two engines firing in sequence to achieve greater altitude, followed. Finally, the single-stage rockets were relaunched with varying engine sizes for experimentation. Cadets participating in this event were Ryan Cates, Ben Lakey, Thomas Beutler, A.J. Gluck, and Madison Jones. CAP thanks Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for providing the launch site.
Cadets Gluck, Cates, Beutler, Jones and Lakey get rockets ready for action.

Tri-County Animal Rescue Pets of the Week Cooperative Meet the Tri-County Animal Rescue Pets of the Week: Mojo is a 5 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever and Emery is a 3 year old Siberian Husky. Mojo is a fun loving country boy that needs lots of room to play. His favorite thing is to play with his duck decoys in the water so a pond, lake, creek and/or doggie pool is a “must”. Emery is a refined city girl that likes walks in the park and spending time with her owners. The Labrador Retriever (Mojo) is one terrific family dog -- given enough vigorous exercise (preferably including swimming and fetching games) and not just a walk around the block once a day.. One of the best dogs for children of all ages, Labrador Retrievers are kindly, good-natured, and take most things in stride. The Labrador Retriever matures slowly, and does require patience and training to manage. The Siberian Husky (Emery) is a medium size working dog breed that originated in north-eastern Siberia. It is an active, energetic, resilient breed, whose ancestors lived in the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. A Siberian Husky's coat is thicker than that of most other dog breeds. Their thick coats require weekly grooming. Emery is housetrained and is a perfect house dog. Mojo and Emery are “fixed”, current on vaccines, micro-chipped and come with 30 days of free pet insurance. Please give Mojo and Emery a chance to become part of your family! They are ready for love. If you are looking for an addition to your family, please come out and meet Mojo and Emery this weekend. Many available pets will be at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this Friday from 6-9 pm, Saturday noon to 6 pm and Sunday 2-5 pm.

Banner-News School Happenings New logos for Belmont Abbey Belmont Abbey College unveiled today its new academic and athletic logos. At the direction of the college’s executive team, the new marks were developed over the last year by a cross-representative committee
with input from the faculty, staff, monastery, student and alumni populations. The process took more than a year as the college sought to explore numerous possibilities and receive input from all of its constituents. “The new marks are part of an effort to build a national brand for Belmont Abbey College,” said Director of Marketing & Communications, Rolando Rivas. “We want to inspire a new generation of young men and women to choose the Abbey. With these fresh, cohesive marks, we feel we’re clearly communicating our history, principles and our beliefs. The consistency between the primary marks will also help us more efficiently build awareness for the college.” Along with initiating the new marks, last year the college began a trademarks and licensing program and hired Learfield Licensing to manage its
licensees. Learfield assisted the Abbey in identifying a design partner for the initiative, Rickabaugh Graphics. The new academic logo highlights the most recognizable architecture on the Belmont Abbey College campus–the Basilica Mary Help of Christians. The new mark intends to convey the Catholic, Benedictine roots of the college, as well as the tradition and rich history, with its founding year of 1876 clearly represented. “While the marks definitely represent something new for the Abbey we wanted to be clear that our deep tradition continues to this day,” said Rivas. Additionally, the new academic mark with its shield and custom font evokes the excellence and virtue the college hopes to instill in its students. The new athletic mark is a fresh redesigned crusader that both has a regal and yet competitive look to it. It has a more engaging style than the previous logo which was in profile. While having a historical origin the new rendition also adds a level of modernity to its design. “By successfully reinvigorating and standardizing our marks – logo, font, and colors – we believe that we have achieved both our goals of enhancing our brand identity and creating a consistent look that is more readily identifiable.” said athletic director Stephen Miss. Rickabaugh Graphics of Gahanna, Ohio, developed both logos. The firm was among four that responded to the Abbey’s request for proposals through its newly hired trademarks and licensing company. Rickabaugh has extensive experience in the collegiate market. It also has created award-winning logo designs for numerous Fortune 500 companies and celebrities, as well as pro sports brands of the NFL, NHL and NBA. The college plans to begin to implement the new logos immediately with additional fanfare and festivities at the beginning of the fall semester. Additional promotion will occur at Homecoming the last weekend of September. Over the next several months, the college will update its electronic media, roll out new stationery and update logos across campus.

Gaston County Schools suggested summer books Don’t forget to read this summer. Here are some great books suggested by Gaston County Schools for grades K-1. Emma Kate by Patricia Polacco That adorable Emma Kate has an imaginary friend. They walk to school together every morning and sit together in class. They sleep over at each other’s houses and do their homework side by side. They even have their tonsils out and eat gallons of pink ice cream together. But a hilarious twist will have readers realizing there’s more to this imaginary friend than meets the eye! Fly Guy series by Tedd Arnold In the latest installment of Tedd Arnold’s New York Times bestselling Fly Guy series, Fly Guy puts on a show with all the new tricks that Buzz taught him. But when Fly Guy shows off The Backstroke, The Dizzy Doozie, and The Big Booger at dinnertime, Buzz tells Fly Guy only to do the tricks on command. Will the tricks come in handy when an annoying kid starts picking on Buzz and Fly Guy? I Want my Hat Back by John Klassen The bear’s hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this delicious take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humor-- and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke. Katie Woo series by Fran Manushkin Katie Woo is smart and funny--and good at getting into trouble! Her stories are the first easy-to-read series about a Chinese-American girl. The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking— each believes he is the true color of the sun.
What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best? The Gardener by Sarah Stewart Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city, where she goes to stay with her Uncle Jim, a cantankerous baker. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers’ faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece -- an ambitious rooftop garden -- which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile. Sarah Stewart introduces readers to an engaging and determined young heroine, whose story is told through letters written home, while David Small’s illustrations beautifully evoke the Depression-era setting. The Gardener is a 1997 New York Times Book Review Notable Children’s Book of the Year and a 1998 Caldecott Honor Book. Those Shoes by Maribeth Bopelts All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. Though Jeremy’s grandma says they don’t have room for “want,” just “need,” when his old shoes fall apart at school, he is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy soon sees that the things he has — warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend — are worth more than the things he wants. Time for Naps by Jane Yolen This sweet story follows a child tucking stuffed animals in for a nap. Written by Caldecott Honor and best-selling author Jane Yolen, the whimsical, rhyming text will delight youngsters who can’t wait to lie down -- and also those who need some encouragement for a midday rest. What Can You Do with a Paleta? by Carmen Tafolla As she strolls through her barrio, a young girl introduces readers to the frozen, fruit-flavored treat that thrills Mexican and MexicanAmerican children. In this bilingual paperback edition, discover the joys of a paleta—the traditional Mexican popsicle treat sold from the wagon with the tinkly bell that brings children running from every direction. Create a masterpiece, make tough choices (strawberry or coconut?), or cool off on a warm summer’s day—there’s so much to do with a paleta.

McKenney travels with Abbey 2016 Field Hockey schedule Belmont U group Mary McKenney, a Cramerton native, traveled to Israel, Turkey and Greece this summer as part of Belmont University’s largest group of student travelers in university history. With more than 500 students participating, 22 programs were held in May and 9 programs are currently underway as students embark on adventures in nearly 30 countries including South Africa, Ireland, China, Austria, Greece and Argentina, among others. The University has an institutional mission to provide students with ways to engage and transform the world, and Office of Study Abroad Director Shelley Jewell argues this means encouraging as many students as possible to take part in study abroad opportunities. “Belmont seeks to graduate students who received a well-rounded education and are competitive in the job market. The university recognizes that we live in an increasingly interconnected world and in order to be successful, students should have awareness not only of our nation, but of other cultures around the world,” Jewell said. “Studying abroad provides a window into other cultures and gives students a competitive edge when job seeking or applying to graduate school.” Jewell said she and her team set a lofty goal of sending more than 600 students abroad throughout the fall, spring and summer semesters. Including the 506 who will be traveling this summer, a total of 612 students have participated this year. Jewell attributes this success to a number of factors including campus engagement, faculty programming, a new website and most importantly-the office’s student ambassador program. “The greatest advocates to study abroad are those students who have done it themselves-their ability to connect with their peers and encourage participating in programs is so valuable,” Jewell said. “We have so many engaged and outstanding study abroad students who speak so articulately about their programs.”
Belmont Abbey field hockey head coach Bronwen Gainsford has announced her team’s inaugural 2016 schedule. The first game, a home game against Southern New Hampshire on September 2 at 2:30 PM, will be a Raise the Red game.

After returning from Bellarmine in Kentucky, the team will play two home games: Limestone at 4:00 PM on October 7 and Centre College on October 15 10:00. The game against the Centre Colonels will be the Breast Cancer Awareness Game. Following these two home contests, the team will make a trip up to New York to take on Molloy and Pace.

Banner-News Sports There is more than meets the eye with Annelle Grealis By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
For Annelle Grealis sports has always been a joy and a challenge. To become Co-Female Athlete of the year for Stuart Cramer High School Annelle took a path few would understand. Over the last few years she showed she was her own woman. She outlasted the naysayers and those who thought she had been successful because she had help. Through perseverance, a sense of humor, and hard work Annelle proved that good things come to those that stay the course and believe in themselves. Annelle didn’t become involved in sports the traditional way. Most kids sign up for rec ball and play in various starter leagues. But not Annelle. She got her sports education and initial exposure by hanging out with her Dad. Annelle’s father is Cramer volleyball and track coach Terrance Grealis. Annelle got her first taste of high school sports by being a tag along. “I started when I was about five or six,” Annelle said. “I went to practice with my dad. He coached at South Point.” As a child Annelle watched the players and started to grow in love with the sports coach Grealis was involved with. Annelle’s earliest sports memories occurred as she puttered around the volleyball court at South Point. “I was six or seven at South Point volleyball practice,” Annelle said. “They were doing line drills. I was laying in the middle of the court when a ball hit me in the stomach. I cried like a baby.” Many kids would have had enough. But not Annelle. She kept coming to practice with her dad. Over the years her relationship with her father proved to be a source of joy and a challenge. Being the coach’s kid is never easy. But to Annelle her relationship with her father has no equal. He has been her biggest inspiration. “My biggest influence is my Dad,” Annelle added. “We are thick as thieves, inseparable. He has been my coach since I was little. He coached all my sports.” For some kids the thought of spending that much time with a parent would drive them nuts. But not for Annelle. When Annelle describes her Dad she gets excited. Almost giddy. There is little doubt that the time spent with her Dad and the bond they share is a source of pride for Annelle. Annelle loves volleyball and track. In track she runs the hurdles and does the high jump. Both events are challenging and require a great deal of concentration and athletic prowess. Annelle’s fondest sports memories involve playing “Club” volleyball. Club ball allows the players to travel and learn from others that they may not normally be exposed to. “I liked playing club volleyball,” Annelle added. “Lake Norman Volleyball Club. The girls are really close. We travel
Annelle Grealis propels herself over the high jump bar. Grealis, a 2016 Stuart Cramer graduate will be running track and playing volleyball at Lenoir Rhyne in 2016-2017. Photo by Jeff Sides all over and had fun.” When Annelle described the toughest challenge she faced in her sports career you could tell it was something that at times bothered her. “Being the coach’s daughter was tough,” Annelle said.”I started at South Point as a freshman. Then when I went to Cramer there was a mix of South Point and East Gaston players. They thought that I only started because I was the coach’s daughter.” Annelle believed she had earned her slot on the starting lineup. She felt that many of the players just didn’t know what she brought to the table. “Some didn’t have the same experience level I had.” Annelle added. The normally bubbly and high energy blond get a little quiet when describing what happened. As she explained her situation you can see that there is more than meets the eye with her. There is a fire just below the surface. The kind of drive that, if you have it can guide you and help you through the toughest of times. Instead of dwelling on the gossip, Annelle chose to take the negative and turn it into a positive. “It’s always been tough,” Annelle went on to say. “But I let my skills and play talk for me. My stats show I’m playing. My hitting, digging and serve percentages are all positive.” Annelle never sounds bitter when describing her experience. Without saying it Annelle seems to understand that life
isn’t fair. Sometimes you just have to deal with junk. Once again there is something more. This time a sense of maturity. A trait that most high school students have yet to master. “It was a motivating tool for me,” Annelle continued. “I worked hard to get a scholarship.” Annelle’s scholarship will take her to Lenoir-Rhyne based on academic and athletic achievement. After Annelle describes the rough spots she goes back to being her cheerful self. It doesn’t look like anything can really bring this kid down. It’s very apparent she would never trade in a single moment with her Dad to appease anyone. When Annelle describes what she wants to do in college she shows that despite her cheery exterior she is one tough person. This young lady has a plan. I want to major in exercise science,” Annelle says. “Minor in Spanish, master in athletic training, and then get a doctrine in physical therapy.” Then to accentuate her point she adds a “Boom” Annelle didn’t miss a moment to say what it was she hoped to do with her degrees. “I hope to work in pro sports,” She says. “I would like to work in the NBA, NFL or soccer. What ever I can get. It’s to early to tell if Annelle will be wrapping up an ankle on the sidelines of Bank of America Stadium in the coming years. But it’s not to early to say that what ever Annelle Grealis faces in life she will face with a smile on her face and a fighter’s heart.
Jordan Bryant, determined and driven By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Stuart Cramer’s Jordan Bryant is a hard charger. She always takes things head on. Her dedication and toughness show why she is the Co-Female Athlete of the Year for Stuart Cramer High School. Young Miss Bryant was born in Maryland and moved to Cramerton when she was practically a newborn. Her earliest sports memories bring her back to playing rec ball at Bethlehem Baptist Church.. “I’ve played basketball as long as I can remember,” Bryant said. “I played in a church league, and then Cramerton Rec.” Over the years Jordan has played volleyball, soccer, and of course basketball, her favorite sport. Jordan credits her uncle and grandfather with getting her interested in playing. “My uncle played college basketball,” Jordan said. “He played at Gardner Webb and Winthrop. My grandfather also played in high school.” For her freshman year of high school, Jordan went to South Point. Then in her sophomore year she started all over again. A new school, a new team, a new program. Jordan was part of the a whole new sports program as the Storm tried to make its mark on Gaston County athletics. Many of the new Cramer athletes would need guidance. They would need mentoring and people who could push them. During her time at Cramer, Jordan got that help. Jordan Bryant considers a basketball coach as one of her biggest sports influences.
“Assistant coach Courtney Wellman made me passionate about basketball,” Jordan added. “When she played she had college offers and never played. She saw my potential and pushed me.” Jordan believes that coach Wellman pushed the buttons needed to get her to the next level. She is grateful for all her coach has done for her. “If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be playing college,” Jordan said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Speaking of college, Jordan plans on taking her game to North Greenville University in South Carolina. There she will be playing basketball on a academic/athletic scholarship. As Jordan looks back on her playing days she has some great memories to think about. One involves goofing off in the locker om with her team mates. “Before Cramer games I would bring speakers into the locker room,” Jordan laughed. “One song was Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars. We would dance, sing and throw jerseys.” Despite her playfulness you won’t find many athletes as tough as Jordan Bryant. She gives it her all. Sometimes she takes on too much. That can cause her headaches with people who don’t know her motives. In her effort to help her team Bryant won’t shy away from trying to carry the load. Win or lose she is willing to throw down the gauntlet. That effort can sometimes be viewed as selfish play. It’s a observation that can sometimes sting. “My toughest challenge has been parents,” Jordan said. See BRYANT page 16

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Gaston Braves player Nolan Wilson has come in handy as a relief pitcher this season. Tommy Bain
Gaston Braves lose two By Art Shoemaker After a week’s break in the schedule, the G-Braves played host to the Queen City Mustangs. The Braves played their first ever game at Stuart Cramer High School in this encounter. Things started slowly as the Braves surrendered five runs in the opening frame to the visitors from Charlotte. The Mustangs added two additional runs in the second inning leaving the Braves in a seven run hole after two innings of play. The G-Braves battled back with some offensive punch of their own, but at the end of the night the Braves suffered their second loss by a 11-7 score. Jordon Helms opened on the mound and did not have command of his pitches. After just one inning of work, Christian Huggins came on in relief and also had some difficulty with the Queen City bats. Nolan Wilson finished up the pitching chores and was up to the task as he was very effective in his three innings of work. Grant Tilley pitched the final two frames. Leading the way offensively for the Braves was Alex King with two singles, including a triple. Tyler Price also added two hits in the losing cause. An annual American Legion powerhouse squad, Shelby Post 82, faced the G-raves at Raider Field in Belmont last Sunday evening.
Starting on the hill for the Braves was Alex King who went six innings surrendering six hits and three runs. Jacob Goodman came on in relief in the seventh. McKinley Scott finished up in the ninth and allowed no runs. The Braves scored a single run in the third inning to take an early lead. Shelby came back with a three spot in the sixth to take the lead. The visitors added four additional runs before the Braves answered with a two runs in the eighth to narrow the Shelby lead to 7-3 after eight innings. This proved to be the final score with the Braves suffering their third loss of the season. Leading hitters in the Shelby game for the Braves were Cam Hale, Luke Murphy and McKinley Scott, all with two hits each. Games played after the news deadline were as follows. An encounter at Kings Mtn. on Monday. A home tangle with Union County at East Gaston on Wednesday. Belmont Abbey College will play host to the G-Braves as they play an exhibition double-header with a top opponent from Massachusetts on Friday. The week ends with a visit to Gastonia to play Post 23, which is always tough for our locals. Results of those games will appear in next week’s Banner News.
BRYANT Continued from page 15 “Sometimes they make comments. Things like I shoot too much.” Hearing things from the stands can frustrate an athlete, any athlete. Much less a teen in high school. “Sometimes I wanted to sit on the bench,” Jordan went on to say. “Just say fine. Play without me.” But Bryant never let the comments get that far under her skin. She learned quickly that people will say what they will. She needed to let that roll off her back. “You have to fight through the critics,” Jordan said. “You have to keep playing.” Jordan thinks she learned a lot for sports. She believes the things she learned from church league up to high school will stay with her. “It taught me how to be a leader,” Jordan went on to say. “I learned how to be vocal. I learned how to bring people together.”
Even after college Jordan plans on being a leader. She has hopes to obtain a degree in sports management and then on to the business world. “My dream is to open an all-women’s gym.” Jordan said. On the surface that looks like a tall order. Sports can be somewhat male dominated. But that doesn’t faze Jordan. In fact she looks at that as a way to make her dreams come true. “I want to do this so that women feel more comfortable working out,working on their game, “Jordan stated “Without a man next to them lifting 100 more pounds than them.” By tailoring a business to women Bryant hope to give other women and girls a chance to get out of athletics what she did. The fitness market is a multi-billion dollar industry. Sometimes a simple idea is the best. A concept such as such as ladies looking out for ladies may just work. With her determination and drive it would not be surprising to see Jordan Bryant pull this off.

County Police Officers receive Patriot Award On Tuesday June 14, Gaston County Police Chief Joseph D. Ramey and Sgt. Stephen Zill were presented with Patriot Awards by Employer Support and Reserve, a program of the Department of Defense. The awards were presented at the Gaston County Board of Commissioners meeting by Ms. Stephanie Vojvoda, a volunteer and Ombudsman with the North Carolina Committee of Employer Joseph D. Ramey Support and Reserve. Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) began in 1972 and has served our country for more than 40 years, fostering a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. These citizen warriors could not defend and protect us at home and abroad without the continued promise of meanStephen Zill ingful civilian employment for themselves and their families. ESGR has continued to adapt to meet the needs of Reserve Component members, their families, and America’s employers by joining forces with a network of other national, state, and local government and professional trade organizations. The first in ESGR’s series of awards is the Patriot Award. An employee serving in the National Guard or Reserve, or the spouse of a Guard or Reserve member, may nominate individual supervisors and bosses for support provided directly to the nominating Service member and his or her family. The Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support citizen warriors through a wide-range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed. Chief Joseph Ramey was nominated by Officer Jamie Hamilton, a member of the department who is also a member of the United States Naval Reserve. In his nomination, Officer Hamilton stated that he was very thankful for all that the Gaston County Police Department had done for him and his family. Sergeant Steven Zill was nominated by Officer Kwadwo Twumasi, who is a member of the department and the 505th Engineering Battalion of the North Carolina Army National Guard. In his nomination, Twumasi stated that Sergeant Zill supported Twumasi in any way he could to fulfill his duties as a soldier even on short notice. For further information contact Captain W.S. Melton, Jr., Gaston County Police Department at 704-866-3320.

Summer vacation is here, which means lots of pool parties, lake days, and beach days! Water activities are a blast for children, but there are some safety tips that parents should keep in mind this summer: • Always supervise children in and around water. Don’t leave them, even for a moment. • Stay where you can see, hear, and reach kids in the water. Avoid distractions such as your cell phone, grilling, or reading. • Teach children to never swim alone and to only swim in designated and supervised Tabitha Whetstine swimming areas • Use barriers around swimming pools to keep kids away from the water when you’re not around • Always use life jackets and other safety gear The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that, each year, nearly 300 children under the age of five drown in swimming pools. More than 3,000 children age five go to hospital emergency rooms due to non-fatal submersion injuries. Some of these hospitalizations result in permanent disability, including brain damage. We love our children and want to do everything we can to keep them safe, so please remember these few brief tips the next time you are at the pool, lake, or ocean!

Belmont bulk item pickup changes The City of Belmont – through its solid waste vendor Waste Pro will be making changes this fiscal year to when “Bulk Items” will be picked up starting this July. The city typically was paying Waste Pro to pick up bulk items everyother week. Bulk items are things such as old broken furniture and other deposable household items. The cost was priced based on every household but only about 20 % of citizens were putting bulk items out to curb every-other week. To save unnecessary costs it was decided that “Bulk Items” will now be collected “Once per Quarter”. Folks can come by City Hall in July to pick up their magnetic calendars and bulk-debris guidelines for them to have at home. The cost savings for the city and the solid waste contractor is estimated to be around $20,000.00 as most citizens don’t place bulk items at curb very often. The biggest users are those that place “Yard Waste and shrub Debris” at curbside and that will continue on an every-other week bases as shown on the new calendar.
