13th Annual Community Thanksgiving Meal drive-thru The Cherryville City Council listening to citizens comments on a rezoning issue. (photo by MEP/The Eagle)

Citizens comment on Stroup Acres rezoning plan

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

At last Monday night’s Nov. 8 City Council meeting, after approval of the various meeting minutes and Mayor Beam’s comments on the recent municipal elections, the main issue discussed was the proposed rezoning of five parcels of land located at 1404 Shelby Hwy., from R-40 to CU R-9, CU RMF, and B-2.

The area is approximately 176.62 acres and the property is owned by, according to information received at the Council meeting, Stroup Acres, LLC, the deed for which was dated Nov. 27, 2007. The property is being looked at by Mon-

trose LLC for rezoning to build over 400 housing units on the property, if rezoning can be accomplished. There are a number of adjoining properties on all four sides of the property under discussion (31 that were listed) and many of those property owners appeared at the Council meeting as citizens to be heard when Council went into public hearing.

Michael Foess, of Montrose LLC, was also at the meeting and spoke about what he and his company were wanting to do with the property, which is to develop it for a large number of houses, 490, according to what he told Council.

Mr. Foess also noted their

The Saturday, Nov. 20, 13th Annual Cherryville Thanksgiving Community Meal will be, according to its organizers, a drive-thru event, just like last year, said Tammy Campbell, organizer of volunteers for the meal.

Event organizers said it will be, again, “…basically a ‘To-Go Only’ operation, adding also it is on a “while supplies last/first come first serve” basis.

The drive-thru meal event is from 11 a.m., until 2 p.m.

Mrs. Campbell noted in last year’s article they fed, “…838 people” and “… started running out of certain items by the end (around 2 p.m.).”

Campbell also noted then that, “Since it was all takeout, I’m not sure how many were shut-ins, but I do know all the Meals on Wheels people in our area did get a meal and that was 36 plates” at that

Tammy noted that at the 2020 meal, each church sent someone over to pick up their shut-in’s meals, adding, “Some neighbors came by to get meals for the ones they knew could not get out.

In last year’s event, Campbell noted they had to limit their volunteers this year, and did the meal then with only 25 volunteers with First Baptist Church of Cherryville sending a crew of seven.

The event this year will once again held at the Post 100 American Legion build-

ing, located at 215 N. Pink St., Cherryville, said Campbell and is, again, sponsored

by Food Lion.

Campbell noted the Legion Building’s parking lot will be set and divided off by orange traffic cones directing the incoming vehicles who came by to pick up plates where to go once they entered, and where to exit after they got their meals.

Campbell noted her volunteers in the Legion building’s kitchen will prepare the meals – with everyone masked and gloved, of course, as per

COVID-19 pandemic rules and procedures; just as last year.

Another of the 2020 event’s organizers, Cherryville Area Ministries Director Sherry Curry, is once again helping this year.

Curry said in last year’s Eagle article, “It was also great to see many of the Cherryville-area churches and others volunteer and get involved with this feeding ministry.”

Campbell said for more information, folks can call (704) 435-3816.

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Four Veterans currently living at Somerset Court of Cherryville were recently treated to a ceremony in their honor on Nov. 11, Veteran’s Day 2021.

The four are Harold “Don” Harris (Army),

Claude Dixon (Navy), Robert Gore (Army), and Dale Leagon (Navy).

In a media release, Cigi Sparks, Communications Manager for the assisted living center, said the Court wanted to host the Veteran’s Day event on that day in order to recognize the military vets who have served their country and who now reside at Somerset. Sparks noted Cherryville Mayor H.L. Beam, III, and members of the Post 100 American Legion, Unit 100 of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary, and staff members of the Court would be

on hand to help these vets celebrate their day.

The event started at 2:30 p.m., and though a light rain was coming down, nothing dampened the enthusiasm of those in attendance.

Cigi noted the men were called their “Patriot Angels”, a title written at the head of their certificates. The certificates were presented to the four men by Mayor Beam and Ms. Sparks, along with Unit 100 Ladies Auxiliary and current National American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Commander Jill Parker-Puett. Assisting the

Mayor and Mrs. Puett were Post 100 American Legion Commander Mike Robinson, Post 100 American Legion Vice-Commander Monica Lockwood, and members of the Post 100 American Legion Color Guard, Brian Dailey and Mickey Brown, as well as Unit 100 Auxiliary member Lynette Christensen.

Sparks also noted Somerset Court is home to 42 residents, who are taken care of by approximately 30 staff members.

Cherryville City Councilwoman and Unit 100 President Jill Parker-Puett speaks to the four Somerset Court military veterans on Nov. 11, 2021, at the facility’s Veteran’s Day event.

After properly folding the American flag, Legionnaire Brian Daily presents it to Post 100 Commander, Mike Robinson, and salutes him as he takes the flag.

The four Somerset Court veterans – Harold Harris, Claude Dixon, Robert Gore, and Dale Leagon, along with Cherryville Mayor H.L. Beam, III, and members of the staff of Somerset Court, listen to Mrs. Pruett’s speech.

LEGION From Page 1 Mayor Beam, and the Legion members pinned the four veterans with small red, white, and blue ribbons with shield-shaped badges attached, in honor of their great service to America, then they, with Sparks’ help, presented the men with their certificates.

The four men have each been residents at Somerset Court for a few years now, and to a man, each said they were not only honored to receive the pins and the certificates, but were humbled and overjoyed they were recognized on behalf of the many American men and women who served.

Harold “Don” Harris noted also we should never forget all those veterans who didn’t get to come home, and who gave their all for this great

country.

Navy veteran Claude Dixon, who formerly worked in the newspaper business for the Cherryville Eagle and Republic newspapers, said the recognition on Veteran’s Day was “…a bit of a surprise, but a good one!”

After the pinning, Mrs. Puett read from a prepared speech on the folding of the American flag and on the history of Veteran’s Day. She also talked about her father, a veteran of WWII, who she said “fought for our flag.”

Mrs. Puett noted the blue field on the flag stands for our sky; the red stripes for the blood, sweat and tears; and the white stripes for peace.

She went to describe, as the Legion Color Guard folded the American flag, what each of the 13 folds stands for: Light, Belief, Remembrance (of our Vets), Warrior Nature, Tribute to Courage,

Where our Hearts Lie, Tribute to our Armed Forces, Tribute to the Ones who died and to Honor their Mothers, Tribute to Womanhood, Tribute to Fathers, Eyes of the Hebrew God of Abraham and Isaac on us, the Eyes of Christians

“The final shape of the folded American flag is in the shape of America’s first President, George Washington’s tri-cornered hat. It is then given to the wife or family of a fallen veteran,” she concluded.

“Taps” was then performed by Legionnaire Mickey Brown, and the program was concluded.

Harold Harris did comment on how we should never forget those left behind in Afghanistan because we owe them for their help to our military men and women who served there before the recent pull-out.

Downtown Director David Day said, in a recent media release, that Downtown Cherryville will host its first Main Street Holiday Market and Small Business Weekend since the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, on Saturday, Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Keeping things simple, Mr. Day noted, “We’ll have vendors selling all

sorts of handcrafted gifts for Christmas. And, our Main Street merchants are participating and offering specials. So, we’re also billing the event as Small Business Weekend.”

To add even more fun to the festivities, Day said there will be baked goods, coffee, tea, and cider for sale.

“We think we’ll have a great atmosphere for our guests,” said Day, adding, “And, as always, we’ll have our Main Street decked out in Christmas decorations.”

David said the vendors will be set up at the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce parking lot on Main Street.

Also adding to the atmosphere, Day noted the nearby (and newly-renovated) Heritage Park will be open and decorated for Christmas. The Park features restored historic buildings from the turn of the last century, showcasing the town’s rich heritage.

Day said vendors wishing to participate should contact either him or Mary Beth Tackett at the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce, at (704) 435-3451.

And, some (read: not too much if the legends and various [sadly]) Native American versions of its history are blood in my family line true and correct, then we (they said Cherokee and have Indigenous People, possibly some Chickaa.k.a. Native Americans, saw… again, I don’t know to thank for said holiday, for certain…) were quick and also for saving our to point out that as one White, European ancesgroup of my ancestors tors’ hides for basically (Welsh and Scots) came feeding them from the across the Big Pond to setlargesse of their bounty, tle here, the other group, i.e. deer, or pemican (sort who – coincidentally – of a beef jerky made from were already here (thank either buffalo or probably you very much); trying to deer… of some large anfigure out a way to NOT imal…); corn; probably let their new White friends some sort of squash; and, eat them out of house and well, I don’t really know home (never mind steal what else. Maybe fish or their land!), and trying to

Also, there was that nasty business about the various and sundry horrendous diseases we White folk brought with us as well becoming a major problem for our new-found Native American benefactors and erstwhile, uh… neighbors. Those sort of got WAY out of hand!

Anyway, from what I can remember about how things might have gone down, first Thanksgiving meal-wise, and in spite of all those “woke” revisionist versions of history, which I believe are equally suspect as much as the “main narrative” about said meeting and feast, I can’t help but think the greatest loser in all of this historical (or ‘hysterical’) “jibba-jabba” is that great American bird, the turkey!

One wonders, had Ben Franklin gotten his way, that august and multicolored bird would now be gracing all of our currency, our national seal, and whatever else we can find the image of another great American bird – the Bald Eagle – plastered on nowadays.

Also, has anyone ever even tasted Eagle? I can’t imagine anything that eats dead critters or kills its food for a living even remotely tasting like, well, turkey, or chicken, or duck, or even that mysterious and elusive critter, the Turducken! Plus, have you seen the talons on one

of those big white-headed raptors? I’m told they are powerful enough to crush a baseball! While I don’t know about that, I’m fairly sure a turkey wouldn’t do much to a baseball except to peck at it or try and hatch it. Just saying…

At any rate, here’s hoping all y’all have a great

Thanksgiving feast whether it’s turkey, turducken, venison, or roast beast, or even – yeck! – a veggie version of some mystery meat.

Enjoy folks… and stay away from trying the eagles this season. Or EVER! Happy Turkey Day y’all!

During World War II, on April 9, 1942, 75,000 United States soldiers and Glenn Mollette Filipino Guest Editorial soldiers were surrendered to Japanese forces after months of battling in extreme-climate conditions.

Soon after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese forces began the invasion of the Philippines. The capture of the Philippines was crucial to the Japanese. It would bring them one step closer to the control of the Southwest Pacific. The Philippines were just as important to the U.S. Having troops in the Philippines gave the U.S. footing in the Southwest Pacific. After the invasion of the Philippines, U.S. – Filipino troops defended the crucial lands.

These brave soldiers were responsible for the defense of the islands of Luzon, Corregidor, and the harbor defense forts of the Philippines.

They fought in a malaria-infested region, and survived on little portions of food. Some lived off of

half or quarter rations.

The soldiers lacked medical attention. U.S. medics did what they could to help their fellow soldiers. They fought with outdated equipment and virtually no air power.

The soldiers retreated to the Philippine Peninsula when Japanese forces were reinforced and overwhelmed the U.S. – Filipino soldiers.

On April 9, 1942, the U.S. and Filipino soldiers surrendered after seven months of battle, combined with exposure to the extreme elements, disease, and lack of vital supplies. The tens of thousands of U.S. and Filipino soldiers were forced to become prisoners of war to the Japanese. The soldiers faced horrifying conditions and treatment as POWs. The soldiers were deprived of food, water, and medical attention, and were forced to march 65 miles to confinement camps throughout the Philippines.

The captive soldiers were marched for days through the scorching jungles of the Philippines.

Thousands died. Those who survived faced the hardships of prisoner of war camps and the brutality of their Japanese

captors.

The POWs would not see freedom until 1945 when U.S. – Filipino forces recaptured the lost territory.

In 1945, U.S. – Filipino forces recaptured the Philippines and freed the captive soldiers who were suffering in the confinement camps. These soldiers would be impacted by the poor conditions of the camps and the mistreatment by their Japanese captors. About onethird of the prisoners died from health complications after they were freed. (The above information is from Bataan.com).

My wife’s grandfather, Lyle C. Harlow, was one of the thousands who lived through the 65-mile march and almost four years as a prisoner of war. When he and the others who survived were freed, he came back to his wife in Kentucky who had also survived and a daughter born right after his departure overseas.

He returned broken, weighing less than a hundred pounds and had to rebuild his life essentially from zero.

Harlow, like thousands of others, never received a dime from the United States government after See VETERANS, Page 6

losing confidence in our military.

The Institute’s director, Roger Zakheim, is quoted in the report: “This downward trend in trust of the military is a leading indicator of a diminishing na-

tional spirit and an affront to President Reagan’s legacy. As part of his broader goal of restoring national pride, one of our 40th President’s top priorities, upon taking office See HOORAH, Page 6

You know, that There is a story in the one item that we just had Bible of a blind man that to have because everyone was looking for healing.

From Gratitude to an Attitude (Part 3 of “Don’t be a Turkey” Series) Remember how your heart leaped when you first dated the love of your life? You couldn’t live without that person. However, before long you were complaining that your prince had turned into a frog, or your queen had turned into a witch. How about the time you bought a new car? You were DANYALE PATTERSON excited and proud of it, but after insurance payments, high gas prices, and car trouble, you were ready to be done with that vehicle. The thrill was gone! Another example of how gratitude turns into an attitude is when new parents can’t wait for the sweet little baby to walk and talk. After a few years, the desire and the commands are for the child to just, “SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET!” Have you found yourself in any of those scenarios like I have? I know there’s a lot to be grateful for, yet I find myself complaining about the very thing I was elated about. Grumbling really puts me in a bad mood, and it doesn’t edify the people around me who have to listen to the constant murmuring. The Bible says in Philippians 2:14 (NIV), “Do everything without grumbling or arguing.”

DON’T BE HANGRY The children of Israel had been delivered from abuse and slavery with a miraculous and mighty demonstration of God’s power. Yet they were whining and griping to God about food and insulting him by saying they should go back to Egypt. They were “hangry”, which means being angry and upset because of hunger and a desire to eat immediately.

In other words, they were allowing their circumstances and fleshly desires to pull them from a place of gratitude into a bad attitude. God was very displeased with them, and they received severe consequences, but he still provided for their every need. See Numbers Chapter 11. Let us ditch the complaining and work to incorporate a “thanks-living” approach to life. Here are some suggestions: • Create a Gratitude Journal - In the morning or before going to bed, write 3 things you are grateful for that happened that day.

• Meditation Time - Think about something you are glad that you let go of, or that is no longer in your life.

It could be unproductive habits, unnecessary items, or negative relationships, etc. Congratulate yourself for having the courage and discipline to let it go.

• Express Appreciation - Take time to appreciate at least 1 person each day through compliments, notes, or gifts.

• Reading Scriptures - Spend time reading scriptures about thanksgiving or praise and pray them.

PRAY THIS PRAYER: “God, you are sheer beauty, generous in love, and loyal always. I am in awe of your goodness and your majesty.

Thank you for life, health, and strength. The family and friends you have given me are priceless. I am also grateful for your glorious presence and powerful words that have kept me through the storms of life. Forgive me for moaning and groaning about temporary problems. I am tremendously blessed. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

He felt that if he could only see, he would be able to find happiness, peace, and meaning. He did find all those things and so much more when he met Jesus. See, Jesus not only healed his eyes but He also healed his soul.

The blind man, Bartimaeus, threw off his cloak and ran trem-bling to Jesus. Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

In that moment as he said, “Lord,” his spiritual eyes were opened. Je-sus said, “Your faith has made you whole.” Notice – not your intellectual understanding, not your money, not your works – but your faith.

Faith! That’s all it takes!

Immediately Bartimaeus, who had been

blind all of his life, began to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was the face of Jesus. What an experience – to open one’s eyes and look straight into the strong, tender face of Jesus! Bartimaeus met Jesus and the Bible says he “followed Jesus in the way.”

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for healing me from my spiritual blindness and showing me that the real secret to finding last-ing happiness, peace, and meaning is not found in anything that I might find in this old world but, only in placing my faith in you.

Thank you for letting me see that when I follow you, all my problems just seem to fade away.

He was part of what we call today the “Greatest Generation.” And, as president from 1981 to 1989, he ultimately put an end to the Cold War not with guns and bombs but with a tenacious plea to the leader of the Soviet Union, which had been adversaries of the U.S. since the end of World War II. In 2004, John Keller, Editor in Chief, “Military & Aerospace Electronics” magazine penned an editorial in remembrance of President Reagan shortly after his passing.

He recognized that a trusted military not only strengthens deterrence; it strengthens the self-confidence of the American people. Therefore, President Reagan’s example provides an excellent guide for how we can overcome our current pessimism.”

The Institute’s findings are disappointing, at best. For one thing, although Americans might see the military as the nation’s “most trusted institution,” oddly enough the numbers of us who have a “great deal of trust and confidence in the military” has fallen from 70 percent in 2018 to 56 percent today – a 14 percent drop!

Washington Post columnist Bob Levey wrote about it in 1997. He noted that, “Veterans Day is fast becoming a ‘flexible holiday.’ That means you can celebrate it today if you choose, or you can bank it and celebrate when it suits you better … It’s often said that the meanings of Christmas and Labor Day are threatened with being lost.

But the meaning of Veterans Day is threatened more than either.”

President Biden never served in the military. Of course, his press department makes sure to distribute acknowledgement of military holidays. President Reagan did serve; he actually enlisted in the U.S. Army’s Enlisted

Another depressing discovery from the Institute’s report: “Only slightly over one-half of Americans (57 percent) think that the United States has the best military in the world and an even slimmer majority (53 percent) think it would win a war against a nuclear power.

Between using the military or diplomacy in international affairs, 41 percent of Americans think the United States strikes the right balance, but about a third (34 percent) think the military is used when diplomacy would be better.”

It’s no wonder the nation seems to downplay observations of the birthdays of our Armed Forces as the years go by. There was a time when Veterans Day was a big deal with parades and celebrations of the bravery, gallantry and heroism of our men and

He and so many others had to rebuild their lives with no help from our country. This makes it difficult to understand how our government can consider handing out thousands of

dollars to illegals pouring into our nation. Do we just hand them the American dream simply because they made it across our border?

Most Americans are charitable people. We do more than any nation to help others. Yet, when our homeless Veterans are sleeping on America’s streets while shelters, medical insurance and even cash are made available for those who are unwilling to salute our flag, hate our culture and despise many of our values, then something is wrong – seriously wrong.

CHS Ironmen’s Kadin Beaver selected for Queen City Senior Bowl One of 16 high school standouts picked for Dec. 18 game

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Cherryville High football player and senior Kadin Beaver is one of 16 local high school gridiron young men selected to play in the 2021 Queen City Senior Bowl, to be held at Charlotte’s Olympic High School, located at 4301 Sandy Porter Rd., Charlotte, on Dec. 18. The kickoff time is scheduled for 1 p.m., according to information on the QCSB website.

The mission of the bowl game is, as noted on the event description section of the website, is “… to create a memorable and rewarding experience for the best high school football players and coaches” in Charlotte/Mecklenburg and the counties surrounding the Queen City – counties such as Gaston, Cleveland, Cabarrus, and Union.

The teams are divided into East and West teams with Beaver being selected as the long snapper for the West team, he said recently.

Beaver, 18, has been at CHS all four years, he said, adding his family moved to Cherryville from Gastonia when he was in the seventh grade.

He attended John Chavis Middle School and played football there for Coaches Terry Moss and, later Seth Hartman.

Kadin said his mom, Ashlye, found out about the Queen City Senior Bowl, got the information and they submitted his name for possible selection in the bowl game.

“I was told they had 500 kids that applied,” Beaver noted, adding it was clearly an honor for him to have been selected from that large group of young men.

His parents, Ashlye and Buster Beaver, said of his selection, “We are very proud of him and for him.”

Kadin will be joined by the Mountain Island Raptor’s Dylan Bisson (QB) and WR Trae Nickelson (WR); South Point Red

The web site noted the coaches for the West team are: North Gaston’s Justin Clark, Highland Tech’s Pedro Truesdale, and Burns coach David Devine.

Beaver noted the teams will practice at Olympic HS starting Dec. 13 through 17, and will play Saturday, Dec. 18, also at OHS. As for his future plans, Beaver said he hopes to be a long snapper in college and his number one college choice is Wake Forest as a walk-on hopeful. In his high school career, Beaver has played the long snapper position for the Ironmen, as well as tight end and quarterback.

In their win against Highland Tech at the Oct. 8 game at Highland Tech, Kadin Beaver is in motion as Ironmen QB Chase Miller prepares to spring into action.

Teams in the West division are Cherokee, Highlands, Hayesville, Murphy, Hiwassee Dam, Nantahala, Andrews, Blue Ridge, Swain and Robbinsville.

Among the officials attending the Oct. 13 virtual meeting were Black, Gaston County Board of Education member Lee Dedmon, treasurer and Cherryville athletics director Scott Harrill and media representative Mike Powell.

Zbinden noted in the media release their volunteer leadership is aiming to collect 21,000 shoebox gifts across the Western Piedmont NC Area Team.

The Operation Christmas Child has been collecting and delivering

shoebox gifts – filled with school supplies, hygiene items and fun toys – to children worldwide since 1993, Zbinden noted, adding, “This is a project that everyone can still be a part of, even with COVID-19 restrictions.”

“In the midst of the pandemic, children around the world need to know that God loves them and there is hope,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “A simple shoebox gift opens the door to share about the true hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.”

Graham continued, “These gifts open the door for us to share God’s love and the eternal hope of the Gospel with children and their families who are living in desperation and fear. The world is changing, but the message of the cross doesn’t change – bringing the hope of the Gospel to millions, especially the living hope of Jesus. Our mission never changes.”

Randy Riddle, Senior Director, Operation Christmas Child, said, “Each year-round volunteer, participating church,

group, and individual shoebox packer is the heart and soul and engine driving Operation Christmas Child. Together, we are rallying around the opportunity and calling to serve Jesus in this way – with urgency to introduce more and more children to a loving God through His Son, Jesus Christ.”

Zbinden noted that those interested in more information on how Operation Christmas Child is making adjustments during its National Collection Week can visit the organization’s Important COVID-19 Updates webpage for the latest information and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Participants can find the nearest drop-off location and hours of operation as they make plans to drop off their shoebox gifts.

The online lookup tool is searchable by City or ZIP code. Signs at each location will identify the drop-off.

STROUP From Page 1 group would do a traffic study, and said they have |heard” the citizens who live in the area and have already done many revisions to their original plans since first meeting with Council about the zoning change requests back in September of this year.

Many of the residents who own property abutting the acreage in question took to the podium and voiced their serious concerns over the rezoning of the area.

The chief complaints – and their were many – covered such issues as an unwanted increase in the volume and type of traffic such building would incur and bring about, possible reduced water pressure in the area for all residents involved, buffers being put in for some of the property owners, and possible police coverage in the area if the zoning happens and the houses are built.

Mr. Steven R. Gunnell, a business owner in the area, told Council he didn’t believe the City has the capacity to handle a new subdivision, and he asked them to do a little more due diligence before deciding on this issue.

“I’m not opposed to progress,” he said, “but I do think there needs to be a little more due diligence exercised.”

This request was also re-

peated by Bobbie Ballard, also a property owner in the area in question, who noted she wished Council would “…have an independent consulting company” look into how this proposed subdivision would help Cherryville.

After hearing the concerns of all of the people, Council went out of public hearing and Mayor Beam said that since the Planning and Zoning Board took no vote on the matter, sending the issue back to City Council, Council then contacted Centralina Council of Governments in Chapel Hill, who suggested to continue with the rezoning issue in order to give the City more time to study what the issue further before deciding what they wish to do regarding the rezoning.

“We won’t take any action on this until we have done all our homework on this,” said Mayor Beam.

In another zoning issue, Council voted to rezone property at 406 N. Mulberry Street from GMC to R-9.

Three City employees were recognized for their service to the City of Cherryville. They were Mr. Bobby Dale Reynolds (5 years); Mr. Jason Black (10 years); and Mr. Charlie Canipe (20 years).

In other business Council voted to re-appoint Mrs. Gail Jenkins to another three-year term on the Cherryville ABC Board.

Mrs. Jenkins said, “I

appreciate the vote by Council. It is a confirmation the Board has done well,” adding they have give the City, in 2020-2021, $41,000, which she noted was $10,000 more than previously given. She said ABC Manager Allen Fraley said they had record profits and were glad to be able to give this to the Cherryville.

Councilman Malcolm Parker is the City’s liaison to the ABC Board.

Also, Council approved the listing by the Cherryville Police Department and the Cherryville Fire Department of four police vehicles and one fire truck as surplus inventory.

Other business included Mayor Beam talking about the Little Ironmen football team still being in the state playoffs and about their banquet being held Nov. 28 at First Baptist Church’s COC building. He mentioned the City-wide revival held on Saturday, Nov. 13, the Councilman Gary Freeman asked Brandon Abernathy about the progress made on the Academy Street sidewalk, to which Mr. Abernathy said progress is being made. Councilwoman Jill Parker asked for an update on Main Street progress, and Downtown Director David Day said the water lines are almost done and the gas line services are almost complete, as is the sewer project, which he said is “almost completely done.”

Does Medicare Cover Mobility Scooters or Wheelchairs?

Dear Savvy Senior, I have arthritis in my hips and knees and have a difficult time getting around anymore. What do I need to do to get a Medicare-covered electric-powered scooter or wheelchair?

Need a Ride

Dear Need, If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, getting an electric-powered mobility scooter or wheelchair that’s covered by Medicare starts with a visit to your doctor’s office.

If eligible, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost, after you’ve met your Part B deductible ($203 in 2021). You will be responsible for the remaining 20 percent unless you have supplemental insurance. Here’s a breakdown of how it works.

Schedule an Appointment Your first step is to call your doctor or primary care provider and schedule a Medicare required, face-to-face mobility evaluation to determine your need for a power scooter or wheelchair. For you to be eligible, you’ll need to meet all of the following conditions:

• Your health condition makes moving around your home very difficult, even with the help of a cane, crutch, walker or manual wheelchair.

• You have significant problems performing activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, getting in or out of a bed or chair, or using the bathroom.

• You are able to safely operate, and get on and off the scooter or wheelchair, or have someone with you who is always available to help you safely use the device.

If eligible, your doctor will determine what kind of mobility equipment you’ll need based on your condition, usability in your home, and ability to operate it.

a power scooter or wheelchair, he or she will fill out a written order or prescription. Once you receive it, you’ll need to take it to a Medicare approved supplier within 45 days. To find Medicare approved suppliers in your area, visit Medicare.gov/medical-equipment-suppliers or call 800633-4227.

There are, however, circumstances where you may need “prior authorization” for certain types of power wheelchairs. In this case, you’ll need permission from Medicare before you can get one.

It’s also important to know that Medicare coverage is dependent on your needing a scooter or wheelchair in your home. If your claim is based on needing it outside your home, it will be denied as not medically necessary, because the wheelchair or scooter will be considered a leisure item.

Financial Aid If you have a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, it may pick up some, or all of the 20 percent cost of the scooter or wheelchair that’s not covered by Medicare. If, however, you don’t have supplemental insurance, and can’t afford the 20 percent, you may be able to get help through Medicare Savings Programs. Call your local Medicaid office for eligibility information.

Where to Buy If your doctor determines you need

Or, if you find that you’re not eligible for a Medicare covered scooter or

wheelchair, and you can’t afford to purchase one, renting can be a much cheaper short-term solution. Talk to a supplier about this option.

For more information about power mobility devices call Medicare at 800-633-4227 or visit Medicare.gov/ coverage/wheelchairs-scooters.

Medicare Advantage If you happen to have a Medicare Advantage plan (like an HMO or PPO), you’ll need to call your plan to find out the specific steps you need to take to get a power-wheelchair or scooter. Many Advantage plans have specific suppliers within the plan’s network they’ll require you to use.

Damon Davis (29 points, 10 rebounds) had his second double-double of the season to lead Gaston College (3-0), which hosted Lakeside Prep

goal shooting, Watson’s driving layup gave the Rhinos the lead for good at 91-90 and Merriweather hit two clinching free throws with 2.0 seconds left.

“It’s a good win for us,” Rhinos coach David “Dickey” Nutt said. “We’re happy to be 3-0.”

He continued, “I was really proud of our guys today.

I thought we showed a lot of resilience. We beat a really good team. But our defense prevailed there at the end.”

Gaston College, which had basketball teams for eight seasons from 1964-65 to 1971-72, is off to the third 3-0 start in school history. It last started 3-0 in the 1970-71 season.

Gaston College’s WSGE radio station receives generous gift Estate of long-time supporter Robert McBurney donates $100,000 The Gaston College Foundation has received a generous donation from the estate of Robert McBurney, who died on Nov. 11, 2020. The donation is intended specifically for WSGE 91.7 FM, the College’s on-campus radio station. McBurney, of Lake Wylie, S.C., was a long-time supporter of WSGE and a member of its Independent Music Society’s Headliners Club and Hall of Fame Club.

McBurney, a fan of the station’s beach and gospel music programming, made his first donation to WSGE in 2006 and consistently gave his financial support and issued matching gift

challenges during the nonprofit station’s fundraising drives. McBurney’s estate gift of $100,000 – the largest donation in WSGE’s 41-year history – follows nearly $70,000 in support over the years.

Cathis Hall, WSGE’s Station Manager since 2006, is extremely honored and grateful for McBurney’s generosity.

“Throughout my years of knowing Mr. McBurney, I found him to be a warm and giving person who truly desired to see the station prosper,” she said. “He never wanted onair recognition – he was a man who gave from his heart. With the financial blessings he has bestowed on us, I believe he was WSGE’s angel.”

When presenting the donation to WSGE on Oct. 30, John and Tracy Stiff,

close friends of McBurney and executors of his estate, said, “Bob loved the station so much, and he was a big fan of (WSGE deejays) Kyle Beam, Johnny B., and Junior Norfleet for years. He was a very generous man who left most of his estate to charity.”

“I am grateful for the legacy of giving by Mr. McBurney to the Gaston College Foundation,” said Luke Upchurch, the Foundation’s Executive Director. “His generosity and dedication to WSGE through his estate gift, along with the contributions from WSGE’s community of supporters, will ensure the financial stability of the station for years to come.”

WSGE 91.7 FM Radio is owned and operated by Gaston College, and began broadcasting on Oct. 27,

WSGE, through the Gaston College Foundation, was presented with a gift from the estate of long-time supporter Robert McBurney.
