Allen Steam Station celebrates 60 years By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Duke Energy's Allen Steam Station on South Point Rd. near Belmont has been churning out indescribable amounts of electric power for 60 years. Recognizing that fact, the firm decided last week to have a bit of a celebration that saw company officials, employees, and special guests gather to recall the plant's past and ponder its present while they enjoyed a barbecue lunch. Station manager Brent Dueitt was one of the speakers and praised the plant staff. “The Allen team has a can-do attitude,” he said. “Our 91 employees remain dedicated to our station's

performance, protecting the environment, and powering the lives and vitality of our community.” Duke Energy NC president David Fountain also addressed the crowd. “In 1957 Allen began a legacy not just of operational excellence, but community service as well.” Fountain said. “Allen is part of Duke Energy's commitment to a smarter, cleaner, brighter energy future. Allen is a jewel in the Duke Energy crown.” The story of Allen Steam Station, name for George Garland Allen, a former Duke Power president and board chair, goes back to 1954 when plans for the plant were first announced.

Belmont council approves “Brunch Bill” By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Last Monday the Belmont city council unanimously approved a local version of the recently passed NC Senate Bill 155 which will allow sales of alcohol to begin at 10am on Sunday rather than noon. The legislation is commonly known as the “Brunch Bill”. The Brunch Bill is statewide, however local municipalities must adopt it locally. Alcohol sales will be allowed by licensed establishments such as restaurants. Retail establishments will be allowed to sell beer and wine also starting at 10am. The council voted on an ordinance that read in part “Sunday morning alcohol service will allow the hospitality community and retail merchants in our community to meet the needs of their customers and Sunday morning alcohol service will benefit our business community, bring people into business districts earlier in the day, and generate increased tax revenues.” The ordinance went into effect August 7. Montcross Chamber president Ted Hall commented on the ordinance approval. “The City Council decision is a good one for the business owners who in most cases have made very large investments in our communities,” said Hall. It keeps them competitive with establishments in our See BRUNCH BILL page 4

STEAM STATION from page 1 on the Catawba River near Belmont started in 1955 and on June 11, 1957 the first unit began making electricity. As the demand for electricity grew, so did Allen. By 1961 a total of five units were on line. Today, the plant has a capacity of 1,098 megawatts and is the only Duke Energy station with five units. Allen Steam Station has a number of Duke Energy “firsts”. It was the first to generate

more than 1,000 megawatts of electricity, the first to be made of fluted aluminum instead of bricks, the first to install large capacity single furnace boilers, and the first to put smokestacks on the ground rather than the roof. Allen Steam Station is fired by coal. When all five units are on line, the plant can use 100 boxcar loads of coal a day. The plant keeps a 20-30 day supply of coal on hand.

Solar eclipse takes aim at the Carolinas On August 21st, 2017 the world will experience The All-American Eclipse, an aweinspiring total solar eclipse that will pass through much of the United States. The Schiele Museum of Natural History and Planetarium is excited to use this opportunity to educate and inspire the community about astronomical events such as solar eclipses as well as other concepts involving outer space. The Schiele Museum staff gave the following information on the event. What is the All-American Eclipse? On August 21st, 2017 a total solar eclipse will be visible in 14 states across the continental United States and a partial eclipse visible across all of North America. It’s been almost 40 years since a total solar eclipse was visible in the continental United Statesand nearly 100 since it crossed so many states. Gastonia will experience a 98% partial eclipse on August 21st, meaning that only 2% of the sun will be visible. How does a total solar eclipse form? A total solar eclipse occurs with the precise alignment of the Moon between the Sun and Earth so that the Moon blocks all sunlight for a few brief moments, casting a narrow band of shadow on Earth. Along the narrow path (only about 60-70 miles wide), known as the path of totality, the Sun will be completely hidden by the Moon, causing the sky to go dark, stars to become visible, and animals to react like it is night time. Outside of the

path of totality, a partial eclipse, where only a portion of the Sun is covered by the Moon, can be observed along a much wider path. Why is there not an eclipse every month?About every 28 days (aka a “moonth”) the Moon completes its orbit around the Earth. The Moon’s orbit is slightly tilted (5 degrees), meaning, that most months the Moon’s position is just above or below the Sun’s position. If they aren’t perfectly aligned, no eclipse forms. Once or twice a year the Sun and Moon’s paths line up and create an eclipse somewhere on Earth. On average, a single location will see a total solar eclipse every 375 years. How can I safely view the eclipse? Gastonia will observe a partial solar eclipse in the early afternoon from approximately Noon to 3 PM on August 21st. During this time (or any time really) do NOT look directly at the Sun, as it will damage your eyes. Everyone who wants to view the eclipse MUST wear eclipse glasses or use certified safe viewing devices (not sunglasses). Certified eclipse glasses will be available for purchase at the Museum Store. Where can I learn more? The Schiele Museum will host an Eclipse Weekend Extravaganza from Saturday, August 19th through Monday, August 21st. All day festivities include safely viewing the sun through a solar

telescope, special planetarium programs,and a variety of family friendly activities. On Monday, stop by the Museum and let experienced educators help you safelyview the eclipse.

Call 704.866.6900 and ask to speak to the Eclipse Team. To see the total eclipse in North Carolina, you will have to travel to the southwestern part of the state.

PRINCIPAL from page 1 where he served in the desert region near Twentynine Palms, California. “It was me and the roadrunners,” he said. After four years in the Marines, Kessler traveled to Honduras as a missionary where he taught English and world history. That's where he met his wife who is a native of Alabama. From Honduras, Kessler and his bride moved to Stanford, California where he entered a program to earn a teaching degree. He taught at Santa Clara High School. In 1998, the Kesslers moved to Charlotte. “We didn't want to live in Atlanta,” he explained. Kessler taught in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for three years at Alexander Graham Middle School where he also served a football and soccer coach. Finally, Kessler went to UNC-Charlotte where he got a degree in school administration. He put that education to good use as assistant principal at Sadler and Gardner Park elementaries. He was principal at Robinson Elementary for seven years before coming to Page. He replaces Lynn Whiteside who transferred to New Hope Elementary School. Kessler is well-read ( he has an encyclope-

duration of totality is 2 minutes 38 seconds across North Carolina. • The average speed of the Moon's shadow is 1452 mph across North Carolina. • Before 2017, the last two total solar eclipses visible from North Carolina were on 1970 Mar 07 and 1900 May 28. • After 2017, the next two total solar eclipses visible from North Carolina will be on 2078 May 11 and 2099 Sep 14.

dic knowledge of the Civil War) and recognizes reading as the basis for success not only in school, but life in general. “I am going to implement a focus on reading,” he said. “I want the teachers to work as a team. They will visit each other's classrooms, observe, then offer pointers on how to make improvements in their instruction. We will help build strong foundational skills that will promote lifelong learning for each child. It is our privilege to work with each student here.” Being new to Belmont and a student of history, Kessler wants to absorb local lore. “I am enjoying Page and getting to know Belmont,” he says. “I want to learn as much as I can.” Anyone who has ever visited Page is struck by the beautiful murals that decorate its walls. Kessler says they are an inspiration. “Near the entrance to Page, a mural is painted on the wall that reads: 'Our purpose is to share the world around us with all who enter this place. And to make a difference in the lives of children, one child at a time.”, Kessler says. “Let us all embrace that vision daily and make this an exceptional year for all our children. Our theme this year is Superheroes: making super readers of all our students. Thanks for joining us in this super hero adventure!”

AAA urges traffic safety during solar eclipse With millions expected to travel for the Monday, Aug. 21 solar eclipse, AAA Carolinas urges traffic safety during the historical event. A total solar eclipse is expected to be visible within a path that stretches from Oregon to South Carolina. In South Carolina, Columbia, Greenville and Charleston are forecast to be in the path of totality and should experience the full solar eclipse. Other cities such as Anderson, Greenwood, Sumter and Orangeburg are also in the path of totality. Areas including Rock Hill, Beaufort, Florence and Myrtle Beach lie outside the path and will see a partial eclipse. It's projected that most of The Schiele Museum of Natural History, 1500 E Garrison Blvd., Gastonia, will host a Catawba Indian event Saturday, Sept. 9 at 10am-2pm.

tial eclipse of 90 percent totality or more. Several counties in western North Carolina should see a total solar eclipse. During the solar eclipse, depending on location, motorists could find themselves driving in the dark, or in lowlight conditions during the day. AAA offers the following driving safety tips during this unusual period of daytime low-light driving: • Turn on your headlights well before the eclipse to help you be more visible to drivers and improve your visibility. • Reduce speed so you'll have more time to make an emergency maneuver. • Watch out for pedestrians! There may be people standing in or along road-

ways and streets watching the eclipse. • Be a defensive driver. Be especially aware of the possibility of nearby drivers swerving into your lane. • Do not attempt to watch the solar eclipse when driving. (Get to your viewing location well in advance of the eclipse) • Don't depend only on cell phones for navigation. Cell towers could be bogged down and coverage could be spotty in some areas. Visit your local AAA location for maps (free to members). • Make sure you have a full tank of gas, first aid kit, water and any necessary medication, should you get stuck in traffic. • Follow Department of Transportation (DOT) for info on roads, routes and closures

Over the years, we have seen first hand the consumer demand for these sales.

risks losing the presence of these newcomers and the economic growth they bring if we don't embrace the opportunities provided by this new law.

Family Fun Nights at Legacy Park McAdenville will host Family Fun Nights films and food trucks at Legacy Park sponsored by the Pharr Family YMCA. Events will be held in Legacy Park located at 133 Elm Street, McAdenville. Food Trucks will begin serving at

5:00PM with the movies beginning at dusk. Friday, August 25th: Movie - LEGO BATMAN; featured food trucks are Hillbilly's & Jive Turkey Leg. Friday, September 22nd: Movie - SING; featured

food trucks are Hillbilly's and 2 Chicks & a Truck. Local favorite See Jane Bake located at 127 Main Street, McAdenville will be open for all four events. Be sure to bring a blanket and/or lawn chairs.

Established on Valentine’s Day of this year, Mugshots has been offering Belmont a new taste in coffee. Owners, Reuben Silberman and Darren Ellis (pictured), say Mugshots is their way of giving back to the community in a greater way: they want grow interest in global reformation of coffee production. Silberman and Ellis, both previously involved in law enforcement, believe that their business spreads global revolution in the local spectrum saying, “We wanted to give back in a larger impact by contributing to the community and influencing global change within coffee production.” What just is in a cup of coffee?

“Any cup of coffee starts with a coffee-bean farmer,” says Silberman. Mugshots prides itself in its truly ethical sourcing of coffee-beans by sourcing their coffee straight from the farmer. This, and co-op coffee sourcing, promotes actual fair trade to coffee-bean farmers and provides these farmers with more equalized pay. Mugshots is partnered with Mountain Grounds Coffee, a sustainable buying source for international coffee-beans, which provides this Belmont coffee shop with coffee-beans from Brazil, Uganda, Mexico, and even more countries. “It’s simply just great care for coffee,” Ellis comments, “from its sourcing, roasting, to its serving.”

Mugshots wants their customers to know exactly where their product derives from; they proudly display the multiple countries their beans come from on the shop’s walls. Silberman and Ellis see expansion of Mugshots on the horizon, as well as growth of ethical coffeesourcing. “We like to think of ourselves as humanitarians with a passion for coffee,” Ellis concludes. Come in and try the owner’s favorites: a double shot of espresso or the 3rd Wave coffee blend. And if you’re looking for a different taste, try their customer’s favorite, the Maple Latte made with real maple syrup and cinnamon spices.

The Mt. Holly Police Dept. was recently honored by Bailey McClure and Anna Shuler of Ida Rankin Elementary School with care packages containing an assortment of goodies. MHPD wants to thank them for the very thoughtful and loving gesture. There were many items included in the bags, including snacks, freshly baked goods, tissue, hand sanitizer, gum, mints, candy, water and sports drinks, and air fresheners just as an example. The bags also had a very nice note attached. Each employee of the police department received one of the bags. “It’s a very humbling feeling to know that our citizens encourage and support us. Having the support of our community members vocalized, and offered in the form of these thoughtful gifts, remind each of us the personal

reasons we chose to take an oath to serve. I want to offer my deepest gratitude on behalf of the department,” said Chief Don Roper. MHPD photos

Relying on God Often in life we find that during the good times, when everything is going great, it is easy to serve God. We keep a smile on our face, speaking of all of the great things God is doing in our lives. However, what happens when the trials of life come? What happens when problems arise? Too often we forget how good God is, and begin to live a life defined by our troubles. Exodus 14:1-31 records the story of God parting the Red Sea. Israel had left Egypt after Pharaoh had let them go, and they headed for the Promised Land. They made their way to the shores of the Red Sea. Meanwhile, Pharaoh began to regret letting Israel go, and he took his army and pursued Israel. Israel was excited, happy to be God’s people, heading to the land He was giving them. However, when they heard the horses and chariots coming toward them, their confidence in God turned to panic and hopelessness. Moses went to God, who told him to hold up his staff at the sea. As he did, God sent a mighty wind that parted the sea, opening dry land before Israel. He also put a pillar of fire and cloud between Israel and Egypt so the army could not reach the people. All night Israel crossed the Red Sea with a wall of water on their left and right. As the Egyptians made their way into the sea, God began to close the waters over them after Israel had arrived on the other side of

the sea. Israel saw the Egyptian army drown in the sea, and they knew the power of God. Israel reminds us of how we respond to God. Often we rejoice in the good times, and Rev. Trent Rankin panic during the bad Salvation Church Gastonia, NC times. However, we salvationchurchnc.org must rely on God during every season salvationchurchnc@gmail.com of life. One thing we must do is never give up. When faced with the Egyptian army, Israel assumed they were doomed, yet they knew God’s power. Often we are prone to give up, yet we know the power of Jesus Christ. Also, we must trust in God, and follow His will for our lives. God has a solution and a plan for our lives, just as He planned to open the Red Sea for Israel. We must begin to look at life, not at our problems, but at what God is going to do next. God’s power is greater than any sea or army. His power is also greater than any fears or problems we have. May we begin to live our lives, no matter what we are going through, confidant in the power, grace, and love of Jesus Christ. May we live not defined by our troubles, but victorious in Jesus Christ!

Singing and dancing lead women to Miss Gastonia, Gaston County crowns By TODD HAGANS Singing and dancing led two young women to the Miss Gastonia and Miss Gaston County crowns. Sophia Kellstrom was named Miss Gastonia 2018 and Kayla Clark won the Miss Gaston County crown at the conclusion of the annual Miss Gastonia Scholarship Pageant on Saturday, August 5. They will represent the Gaston region in next year’s Miss North Carolina competition. Moments after being crowned, Kellstrom posed for pictures and got a few words of encouragement from the reigning Miss North Carolina Victoria Huggins, who was a special guest at the pageant. “She (Huggins) welcomed me to the Miss North Carolina family and told me that I would have a great year as Miss Gastonia,” said Kellstrom. “I know I will. There is a lot of time between now and when I go to Miss North Carolina so I am going to concentrate on getting out in the community, making appearances, getting to know people, and promoting this pageant.” The pageant at Stuart W. Cramer High School in Belmont featured 14 contestants participating in interview, talent, swimsuit/fitness, and evening gown categories Young women ages 13-24 who live, work, or attend school in Gaston and surrounding counties could enter the pageant. Kellstrom is the 17-year-old daughter of Garry and Molora Kellstrom of Kings Mountain. A 2017 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, she is attending High Point University this fall to study broadcast communications and theater. For the talent competition, she sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and won the most talented award. She also won the swimsuit award. Clark said winning Miss Gaston County “is a dream come true.” “My goal has been to win a pageant so I can go to Miss North Carolina,” said Clark. “I have

been working on each phase of the competition and am so thankful that my hard work paid off. I am looking forward to my year and seeing what is in store for me.” Originally from Ellenboro, Clark is a sophomore at UNC-Charlotte where she is pursuing a degree in dance. For the talent competition, she performed a lyrical dance to “Coming Back to Me.” Chloe Lockyer was the first runner-up, Sarah Bowman was the second runner-up, and Kaitlyn Sparks won the Etha Hawkins Bumgardner congeniality award. Other contestants were Summer Lingle, Kassie Styles, Gabrielle Wylie, and Jaliah Pettis. Kellstrom and Clark weren’t the only winners at the pageant. Emily Miller, a 14-year-old student at Highland School of Technology in Gastonia, was crowned Miss Gastonia’s Outstanding Teen. She is the daughter of Brad and Roxie Miller of Stanley and will go on to the Miss North Carolina’s Outstanding Teen Pageant in June 2018. Sophia Kellstrom (center) reacts as she hears well-wishes from family and friends after being “I was very surprised,” said Miller, who per- crowned Miss Gastonia 2018. At left is the new Miss Gaston County Kayla Clark and at right is formed a jazz dance for talent. “I felt good about the new Miss Gastonia’s Outstanding Teen Emily Miller. everything I did and I wanted to win, but you photos by Todd Hagans never know until you hear your name called.” Jaylen Holt was the runner-up in the Outstanding Teen division, and Kendall Moore won the talent award. Other teen contestants were Makayla Parton and Madison Kinmon. A highlight of the pageant was a presentation by Gastonia mayor John Bridgeman, who presented a key to the city to the outgoing queens: Miss Gastonia Macy Stutts, Miss Gaston County Autumn Hubbard, Miss Gastonia’s Outstanding Teen Savanna Mayes, and Miss Gaston County’s Outstanding Teen Madeline Alexanian. Other guests included Miss Mount Holly Allison Farris, Miss Mount Holly’s Outstanding Teen Chloe Clary, and Miss North Carolina’s Outstanding Teen Marissa Garrison.

Tri-County Animal Rescue:

Pets of the Week Featured pets for this week are Shih Tzu / Chihuahua (Shichi) mixed puppies. Three little boys that are nine weeks old. These babies will stay small in size. They have short hair and will only need a bath and brushing to look their best. They play well with others pets. Small children would not be a good match for these small pups. They have had 2 parvo/ distemper vaccines, multiple de-wormings and been micro-chipped. They come with a certificate that covers the neuter and rabies vaccine. The Shih Tzu Chihuahua Mix has long been a popular designer breed. Known for its adorable roundish face, this hybrid originated in the United States and is known to be quietly affectionate. Some of you might have a preference for certain colors when it comes to dogs and you’d be glad to know that the Shih Tzu Chihuahua Mix does come in a variety of colors, including black, brown, cream or white, or a combination of those. Combining the temperaments of both breeds, you’ll get the energetic Shichi, which will be both loving and protective. In addition, because of their adaptability and size, they also make good apartment dogs. Another important aspect to take into consideration is that you do need to give adequate supervision around children. Due to their gentle and fragile nature, the Shichi may be easily hurt by children. As with any animal that feels threatened, the Shichi might lash out and try to defend itself. So do bear this in mind and always supervise young children around dogs and teach your children to be gentle with your Shichi. Please stop in to visit the pets this weekend at PetSmart in Gastonia because the dogs and cats love the attention. They will be looking for you so come on out for some family fun. We also have other pets available for adoption at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard. Tri-County Animal Rescue will be available Friday from 6-9 pm and Saturday noon to 6 pm. Don’t forget! About Tri-County Animal Rescue Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties. We are committed to ending pet homelessness in this area and we need your continued support. If you cannot adopt a pet, then support Tri-County in other ways. We need volunteers and donations to continue our mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals. Please help TriCounty Animal Rescue continue to save pets

Does grooming really make a difference? By Joann Hager For some dog owners, it may seem pointless at first. You set aside time each week to groom your canine companion, carefully and lovingly brushing and cleaning his beautiful coat. But why do you do it? Yes, he may smell bad at times but there are many reasons for grooming. Let’s talk about grooming your dog. First you pick up all the essentials… shampoo, comb, brush, nail trimmers, cologne spray, etc. Then you apply the comb & brush to ensure his coat is clean and void of mats, tangles, fleas and ticks. Finally your dog is ready for the bath but are you? Get ready for lots of water in all the wrong places...mainly on you! Yet once your task is complete, your dog immediately commences undoing your efforts. He heads outdoors and locates mud and burrs, showing little appreciation for your grooming abilities and seemingly working every bit as hard to “ungroom” himself. But before you become discouraged by this “game” you and your pooch

play, this constant cycle of groomingand-ungrooming, it’s important to recognize grooming’s true value. While we all prefer not to have a stinky companion, grooming is about much more than simply smelling and looking good – it’s about promoting your dog’s overall well-being. Not only does regular grooming relax a dog and offer human-canine bonding time, but it also affords the owner an opportunity to inspect the dog for overall health. This type of inspection can address problems ranging from lumps and cuts, to ticks and skin conditions, and to dirty ears and eye health. By the end of a your dog’s grooming session, both you and your dog should be feeling pretty good about the experience. Grooming Your Dog Although it’s often overlooked, grooming represents an essential component to your dog’s health program. Routine brushing and combing removes dead hair and dirt while preventing matting. Because it stimulates the blood supply to the skin, grooming also gives your canine a healthier and

shinier coat. Start regular grooming when you first bring your dog home and make it part of his daily or weekly routine. Purchase a quality brush and comb and get your dog used to being handled. Praise your dog when he holds still and soon he will come to enjoy the extra attention. A proper grooming regimen should consist of: Brushing: Your dog’s skin and coat reflect his overall health and nutritional status. For most dogs, a good brushing once or twice a week is adequate. Bathing: Bathing your dog every month or two isn’t unreasonable, but some dogs will require more frequent cleanings. A good rule of thumb is to bathe your canine only when his coat gets dirty or begins to smell “doggy.” Nail Trimming: Ask your vet to show you the correct technique, then get started by getting your dog used to having his paws handled. Once you start using clippers, go slowly: Try clipping just a few nails in one sitting. Maintain a regular schedule and be persistent. Your canine will eventually learn to cooperate.

Gaston County’s ‘Proudest Kid’ visits Raleigh

Brayden Moss, the 2017 county-wide winner of Gaston Together’s “Proudest Kid in Gaston County� Essay Contest traveled to Raleigh this summer to meet with Gaston County Senator Kathy Harrington. Brayden’s trip was part of his prize as the overall winner of the county essay contest. The Proudest Kid in Gaston County essay contest was developed by Gaston Together in partnership with Gaston County Schools. The winner receives a framed certificate and money towards a trip to Raleigh to meet with Gaston County’s Legislative Delegation. The sole and original sponsor of the contest was the Gaston County Education Foundation. Brayden is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Moss and is a student at Tryon Elementary School. His teacher was Katherine Herman. According to Brayden, he and his classmates saw and learned a lot of things on the “Pride in Gaston� Traveling Tour, and he loved it! Community Pride is the “heart� of a vibrant community. The essay contest is part of Gaston Together’s community pride building program for third graders which also includes the companion program, the “Pride in Gaston Traveling Tour� field trip. Open to public and private school students, both programs are directly focused on Gaston Together’s effort to build a foundation of community pride in our young children and is a vital component of enhancing community vitality. Community

Pride establishes a sense of belonging which can ultimately retain these young students as productive adults in our community in years to come. While we enjoy many opportunities in our county to foster community pride for the adult population, there remains a need for specific efforts to build community pride in our future – our children. The 2017 essay contest selection committee was chaired by Dr. Silvia Patricia Husain, Vice President of Student Affairs & Enrollment Management at Gaston College. Committee members were Tony Powell, Firestone Fibers & Textiles, Jamie Friday, Carolina Center for Counseling and Clinical Services, Inc. and Curtis Rosselle, Gaston County Police. The student member of the selection team was Miss Elizabeth Efird, Gaston Day School. Founded in 1997, Gaston Together’s purpose is to tackle Big Community Challenges. This work is conducted through the principals and best practices of collaboration, facilitation and promotion while avoiding duplication of effort. Current focus areas for enhancing Gaston County’s Community Vitality are: Civic Engagement Leadership, Faith-Based Leadership – Gaston Clergy & Citizens Coalition, Community Pride Building and Creating a Culture of Wellness – Gaston Community Healthcare Commission/ Healthy Gaston.

Thursday Night Tournament Trail results

Robert Fowler and Chris Dover

Awesome night for fishing and another good turnout with 42 boats last Thursday. Lake Wylie is very stingy with her fish right now making it difficult for most fishermen to catch five fish large enough to bring to the scales. Eric Cody and Fred (Pug) Clements were able to put together a five fish limit that top the scale at 11.31 pounds to give them the win. Eric and Pug also had the big fish of the night which weighed 5.63 pounds. Congratulations to them and to the second place team of Chris Dover and Robert Fowler with 11.17 pounds. Third place went to Mike Stephens and Hunter Hicks with 10.54 pounds followed by Roger Farrow with 9.09 pounds. For more information please visit www.lwtt.org.

Angela Weatherly has been named Assistant Athletic Trainer at Belmont Abbey College, Head Athletic Trainer Adam Smith announced. She started her duties, which include working with the field hockey, softball and developmental basketball teams, on August 1 “I am honored and excited to be a part of the athletic department here at Belmont Abbey.” Weatherly said. “I personally want to thank Adam Smith for the incredible opportunity to partake in sharing and practicing the mission of Belmont Abbey through doing what I love, Sports Medicine. I am so excited to be a part of a like-minded team, which has already blessed me in an enormous way.” Weatherly graduated from Erskine in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in athletic training. She had a double minor in biology and health while assisting with the men’s basketball program. She spent the next two years as a graduate assistant at Liberty University, earning a master’s degree in public health with an emphasis on health promotion. In her time in Lynchburg, she was assigned to the sports of women’s soccer, softball, cheerleading, swimming, and golf. She also gained experience in the Sports Dietician program by helping to counsel athletes on nutritional habits. “I am excited to have Angela on board for the coming school year,” Smith said. “She brings a wealth of expertise to our staff from her time at Liberty University. Having graduated from Erskine, a conference school, will serve her well as she travels to familiar locations throughout the year. She will be a welcome addition to our campus community and will fit in nicely with our mission of forming and developing virtue in our student-athletes.”
