Businesses remain open on Main Street while construction progresses Construction slated to be completed by late summer

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

In a recent media release, Downtown Director David Day noted Cherryville City officials say that despite some delays, construction crews are making great progress on the revitalization project in Downtown Cherryville with completion set for late summer.

“Meanwhile,” said Mr. Day, “businesses remain open.”

City Manager Brian Dalton said, “We’re making great progress on our downtown revitalization,

but we’re being flexible as we work through challenges.”

Dalton continued, “As is the case with any large project, the crews have worked through delays caused by the weather, availability of materials and workers, and unforeseen construction issues.”

He further noted, “To keep us moving forward, we’ve slightly changed our plan. Soon we’ll work on replacing the sidewalks and light poles from Depot Street to Pink Street. At the same time, we’ll repave the north and south alleys.”

Said Mr. Dalton. “That’s going to allow folks to park behind the buildings and use the rear entrances while we work on Main Street.”

City Manager Dalton also noted that after the

alleys are paved, the work will begin on replacing sidewalks and light poles from Pink Street to Mulberry Street.

Downtown Director Day emphasized that repaving Main Street and side streets will occur last.

Said Mr. Day, “We’re all looking forward to that great day. Our citizens have been very patient, and I know they will be excited with us to see the project complete. We’re planning a celebration in the early fall.”

For any citizens who have further questions about the ongoing Main Street construction work, Mr. Day said they may contact him at (704) 4353451.

Additionally, team manager Lee Roy Montgomery has also been amazing part of this and all the baseball wins as well, with his unfailing, unflagging support and constant positive attitude for Ironmen baseball as well as all CHS sports, noted Coach Heavner and AD Harrill.

He continued, “And my family… I can’t say enough about the too! The sacrifices they have made and still make for me to follow my dream. I am humbled and overwhelmed with how much the people around me care for what I do. The Lord has had His hand upon it.”

Heavner said he feels honored to be able to run the CHS baseball program, adding, “It is an honor that I don’t take lightly.”

For Heavner, CHS and Cherryville are places he says “…are rich with baseball people and history. I feel fortunate just to be a small part of it.”

Coach Heavner said it is all about the kids and the players, adding, “I’m just driving the bus and keeping it in the road.”

Wife Millicent said, “Our entire family is extremely proud to be a part of the Ironmen baseball tradition.

Scotty and I started dating 32 years ago in the middle See HEAVNER, Page 3

From Page 1 noted “…you take a little from each one of those guys and create something for yourself.”

In 2006, Coach Jones retired with 542 wins, six state championships and numerous conference titles.

“We went 14-12 that first year,” said Heavner. “Since then things have changed for us for the better and God has blessed this walk so much. I can’t thank my many staff and coaches who have helped me through the years, especially my current staff of Seth Freeman, Brian Kiser, AJ Hayes, and Michael Whitesides. Also, many thanks to Dustin Wilson, AJ Henley, Chesley Walls, Jeff Williams, Brian Dalton, and Rev. Tom Hartis, all have helped me in the past as well. So many have helped me along the way.

One of my biggest mentors has been and is (former Gardner-Webb head baseball coach) Rusty Stroupe, also a CHS grad and former player. You add to that mix the many great players and kids who have been here and played the game. I just cannot say enough about them, this great Cherryville community, and the game itself.”

Gaston Co. woman; man take home big money in two separate Lottery wins RALEIGH – Marcie Parfitt of Mount Holly said she keeps smiling so much it hurts after a $5 scratchoff ticket last week won her a $150,000 prize.

“I can’t wipe the smile off my face,” Parfitt laughed. “My cheeks hurt.”

Parfitt, on her daily trip to the store for coffee, bought her lucky Super Loteria ticket from Xpress Market on Tuckaseege Rd., in Mount Holly.

“I kept looking at it over and over to make sure it was real,” Parfitt said. “I thought it was fake.”

Parfitt, 38, became the first winner in the new Super Loteria game. She said she called her husband

right away to tell him the good news.

“He was like, ‘Are you messing with me,’” Parfitt said. “It’s definitely a blessing.”

Parfitt arrived at lottery headquarters on last Tuesday to collect her prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $106,516. She said she wants to pay some bills and buy some land with her winnings.

Super Loteria debuted this month with five $150,000 prizes. Four $150,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

In other NC Lottery news, a Gaston County man, Dennis Armstrong, of

Gastonia, took a chance on a $20 scratch-off ticket and won a $100,000 prize.

Armstrong bought his lucky $2,000,000 Diamond Dazzler ticket from Gates Food Mart on Lowell Bethesda Rd., in Gastonia.

He arrived at lottery headquarters last Thursday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,016.

The $2,000,000 Diamond Dazzler game debuted in January with four top prizes of $2 million and eight $100,000 prizes. Two $2 million prizes and four $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Ironmen head baseball coach Scott Heavner talks with the umpires and the head coach of the BCHS Yellow Jackets before last Friday’s home game at Fraley Field.

HEAVNER From Page 2 of his senior season as an Ironmen player on the exact day of his 300th win as a head coach, and there has never been a moment that baseball, especially Ironmen baseball, hasn’t been a part of our relationship. So many of our family’s memories are there, and our children and I love watching Scotty do what he loves, with the coaching staff he loves, with the players he loves, for the school he loves, on the field he loves. So many people have poured into his life and coaching career. His own coaches through the years have shaped him into the kind of coach and man he is, and his teammates, his players, still feel like family to him. As our little Heavner family, we have a wonderful village of people who love and support us.

Those people make every moment, good and bad, worth the time and energy he has spent as a coach.”

She continued, “I’m proud of Scotty. He eats, sleeps, and breathes Cherryville High School and Ironmen baseball and truly

Coach Scott Heavner working at his desk at Cherryville High School. strives to make his players better men and citizens, not just baseball players.

And as iron sharpens iron, he truly sharpens me as a person too.”

Coach Heavner’s oldest son, Ty, played Ironmen baseball for his dad all four of his high school years, graduating in 2021.

Of his father’s honor he said, “It is VERY well deserved!” He noted that COVID “…got in the way of (his father’s 300th win) when I was there (at CHS).

We were 12 games shy but he finally got it.”

said, “They don’t make them better than my dad.

To be his daughter is the greatest joy and privilege of my life. My whole life, I’ve grown up on Fraley Field, my very first game was at a week old. Baseball is all we know in the Heavner household. Over the years, I’ve watched my dad show his love of Christ through his passion of baseball. I’ve had a front row seat to countless home runs and wins, two state championships, and even some of the toughest losses, but most importantly, I’ve seen players turn into family. The Ironmen baseball program is who Scott Heavner is. I’m proud to be his daughter and I’m lucky I continue to get a front row seat in watching him do his very best thing.”

Cherryville High Principal Shawn Hubers said, “Three hundred wins is a great accomplishment!

Coach Heavner is not only a great baseball coach, but also a great man. He teaches his kids things that will serve them well on the baseball field and in life. CHS is blessed to have him leading our baseball team.”

They were even because of that relaxed allowed to bring in their atmosphere, were asked own Bibles and could to come and speak at a talk to a select group of large Russian Orthodox Russian teens and young Church in Moscow. And, adults. wonder of wonders, it was There was just one attended by over a couple catch… said testimonies thousand-plus people, with were monitored by Rusmany of them having to sian cops in bad suits with listen from outside. It was gun-shaped bulges under summer then, so not much their ill-fitting suits. Anyof a worry weather-wise as one getting far afield of the they watched and listened prescribed questions given to the services on a large them by their Russian hanmovie screen set up just dlers; anyone talking about

Christ and His saving grace and shedding of His blood for our sins, was circumspectly brought back around (pronto) to the standard pseudo-religious, state-sponsored, clap-trap the politburo ‘red wienies’ wanted heard.

Anyway, all that said, my friend and his wife made good inroads, reaching many of Moscow’s faithful and making many friends. On their way back, they visited churches in Ukraine and the same thing happened, so far as winning hearts and minds for Christ and making many friends and converts.

Flashing forward through the succeeding decades, many of the believers and friends kept in touch; some moving to Europe, England; some to Israel; and many to America.

It was as if they could see the future, my friend said recently, and could read the proverbial handwriting on the wall; that God had weighed Russia and its leaders in His balances and found them wanting; lacking in what He wanted them to have – a heart, a conscience, a love for their fellow man. Alas, such was not to be for the Russians,

in spite of a complete overhaul of their failed communist system.

Sadly, today we still have little jumped up, post-Soviet toadies like Putin who have managed to claw (and kill) their way to power in order to once again bring the world’s nations to the brink of Armageddon. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are being butchered and their homes and livelihoods destroyed, all so the ‘Vlad the Mad’ can posture and pose as if he were the savior of Mother Russia. Puh-leeez!

Spare me!

Unfortunately, unless saner heads in the West can manage to stand up to him and others like him and draw a line in the sand with more than just empty words and useless sanctions, he and others like him will keep coming; always wanting more, and he/they won’t care what it takes to get it; whether it is destroying America or any of its NATO allies, Israel or any other nations of the Middle East, or… (yikes!) even his own country and his own citizens. People’s lives mean nothing to men like Putin. Want to know

how I know? Just have a look at the bodies piling up in Ukraine.

My friend I told you about?

He has lost, as of this date, too many of those Ukrainian friends and believers he made so long ago when times seemed happier, to this needless and senseless, inexplicable violence. He is heart-broken by it, but he says he knows he will see them again, in a far better place than here.

And I know he is absolutely right about that!

Now let’s move on to summer. I probably love summer so much because as a teacher it was also my vacation time. I loved my job, but I also loved to have a break and time to relax and refresh for a new school year.

Naturally many people associate summer with going to the beach or river or lake. But my parents spent a lot of the summer in our garden picking and canning the vegetables my dad had planted in the spring. The first beach trip that I was a part of was when my older brother married a terrific lady from Loris, South Carolina.

For the people who know me best the beach and ocean are my most favorite places in the world to go on vacation, followed closely behind by the mountains. They are both beautiful and magnificent, and I thank God regularly for the beauty He created for His children to enjoy.

All-out assault on objective truth creating some frightening situations

by BOB EHRLICH The Western Journal Some call it political correctness on steroids. Others call it wokeness. President Joe Biden might call it “the thing.” Many on the right and center (e.g. Elon Musk) call it countercultural, intellectually dishonest, dangerous.

You might have a different set of adjectives in mind.

But I suspect all share a similar theme: Our culture – and especially our children – suffer when objective truth is rejected.

new worldview is clear: Truth must be interpreted as subjective. You may even have heard ‘wokesters’ (including the sitting vice president of the United States) say as much in advising young people to “speak their truth” – seemingly without regard to whether that truth has any relation to reality.

Of course, once that threshold is crossed, everything is possible.

Accordingly, otherwise serious adults argue that babies are born either oppressed or oppressors, people with no scientific qualifications definitively

state that the earth will be toast (so to speak) in precisely nine (!) years without the Green New Deal, and that it is perfectly fair for boys to compete against girls in athletic contests. In other words, two plus two no longer equals four. Math is racist, dontcha know.

“OK,” you may say.

Surely this iteration of sociological revisionism is temporary, a harrowing but brief journey down the endless road to a progressive utopia.

But you would be wrong.

Finding hope and life before death Most of us have wondered about life beyond the grave.

Many today are in search Glenn Mollette of life Guest Editorial before the grave.

Given what many people traditionally believe about heaven, eternity and life beyond, it would certainly seem very valuable to think about a life beyond. However, what about life here?

The Ukrainian people wake up every day to fight, survive or hide another day.

They fight for life and freedom. Why? Life and freedom are worth something.

How much are life and freedom worth? What does it mean to you to hug your spouse or loved one? How much do you enjoy laughing with family, friends or at a funny television show?

How good does it feel to do something you enjoy? Cooking a meal, music, reading, your faith assembly, grandkids or enjoying a sunny or rainy day – life is living and

enjoying our living.

God didn’t make us to be miserable. We make ourselves miserable. Sickness makes us miserable. Addictions destroy us and others.

Death of the people we love zaps us and creates major voids in our lives. Yet, life can only be lived forward and often this is where we get stuck. Too often we put our cars in ‘park’ and start watching the world go by us. We look in the rearview mirror. Life is whizzing by and we can’t seem to get our foot back on the accelerator to start moving again. This becomes a very stagnant and unhappy way to live. Actually, it’s not a life at all.

Living before you die must have some routine. Go to work. Go someplace. Do something. It doesn’t have to be exotic or glorious. Often routine is the same thing every day. There is some peace in routine. When our routine and entire lives are shaken, like what is happening in Ukraine, then every minute is about surviving another day.

Survival mode for you may be doctor’s visits.

Making a plan for the next five years or year of your life. Reconnecting to some family or a friend or two.

Making peace with the past and embracing today.

The key word for life is hope. Peace is another key word but peace doesn’t exist without hope. If we have hope we can look forward to life. We hope we have enough health. We hope we have enough money.

The people of Ukraine have hope they can overcome Russia. This keeps many of them going. Many have fled the country in search of hope.

Find the hope you need to embrace the rest of your life. Hope in family, friends, hobbies and much more is good. Just be very aware, even they may disappoint you. Mainly, find hope in you. God didn’t make junk.

Too often life, events, mistakes, and sometimes even people we are close, to make it difficult for us to see our worth and it tarnishes our spirit.

Hope is an inside job that starts now.

emerging “green” religion have all rented space within a deadly serious movement that has taken up residence in one of America’s two great political parties. And both are propelled forward by a new fondness for censorship that not so long ago would have been intolerable, especially on the left.

A sense of no-judgment valuelessness emerges from all the subjectivity. “Who are you to judge?” is a com-

mon theme here. But there is another and equally dangerous consequence of all the hand-wringing: a naivete that refuses to accept objective evidence of the evil and evil actors that make the real world such a dangerous place.

It is here where Secretary of State Antony Blinken so willingly indulges his Chinese counterparts in indicting a “racist” America, where John Kerry asks

Russian President Vladimir Putin to consider his war’s impact on climate change, where Blinken shares U.S. intel with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the hope that the despotic strongman would lobby his friend – Mr. Putin – to forego his (then) long-planned invasion of Ukraine and, in perhaps the most spectacularly naive move ever, requests that Putin act as a broker in the See TRUTH, Page 7

What’s coming up at your Cherryville Branch Library!

Summer Reading Season coming soon!

by TRACI POLLITT Cherryville Branch Library Manager

LEGO Club – Tuesdays at 3:30 p.m.

Family Storytime – Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.

Teen Anime Club – Thursday, May 12 at 4:30 p.m.

Hooks, Needles & Thread – Friday, May 13 at 11 a.m.

CLOSED FOR MEMORIAL DAY – Monday, May 30 We’re less than one month away from the official Summer Reading season! We’re excited about having special guests back in the library and wanted to take this opportunity to give you a sneak peek.

First up are two very special events for children. The first is Soap Bubble Circus, a bubble-filled fun time with Steve Langley as our host. He has traveled the world with his unique Bubble Entertainment and holds multiple Guinness World Records. He was also personally selected

by Disney Inc. to perform as the opening act for the world premiere of “Finding Dory” at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. And yes, if this all sounds a bit familiar, he has been here in Gaston County before! We’re excited to have him back and hope our patrons are, too. His performance is followed a week later by the one, the only, one of Ms. Traci’s favorite children’s musicians, the most awesome Roger Day! The former camp counselor and college coffeehouse musician got into children’s music one Christmas when, as he puts it, “…cash was short and the family gift list was long.” His nieces and nephews loved the song and demanded more, and thus, Roger Day’s ca-

reer as a children’s musician began. He has devoted his life to making sure that future generations sing loud, jump high, and – most importantly – dream big. We are counting the days until his big show here at the Cherryville Branch Library! Both artists will be performing at all Gaston County Public Library locations during the weeks they are here, so if you miss the Cherryville show, you’ve got other opportunities.

For our adults, we are very pleased to announce that our wonderful friends at Gaston Cooperative Extension Services will be here twice! In June we’ll be hosting their event, “Cooking Smart with Local Summer Fruits and Vegetables”, where participants will learn to make tasty, delicious, and easy meals using North Carolina produce. The session will include recipes, preparation, and storage tips for such foods as berries, corn, eggplant, okra, peaches, and summer squash. In July, Extension will be here with “Eat Smart & Start Simple with MyPlate”; MyPlate is the free website provided by the US Department of Agriculture.

The class will be an overview of the platform’s resources and tools available to help participants eat smart, cook smart, and move more. Both events are free for our adult patrons; we’ll begin registration on Wednesday, June 1.

For more information about Summer Reading, including complete schedules of events for children, teens, and adults, drop by the branch at 605 E. Main Street. You can also call us at (704) 4356767 with questions.

Our public service hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday and Saturday.

And, as always…we can’t wait to see you!

Many seek wealth for security rather than seeking God, Who is their real Provider. Here is what Jesus taught: Look at the ravens of the fields. They neither sow nor reap and they sure don’t hoard supplies in a room or a barn, yet God makes sure they have their needs met.

Seeking the treasures of this world can dominate one’s life. Jesus desired for believers to have courageous faith that the One Who saves them will provide for their every need. By trusting in Him they will have their needs met, not only in this life, but for eternity.

Happy Mother’s Day

Celebrating 100 years of Moms!

by MELISSA HUCAL (from Macaroni KID.com)

One hundred years ago, in the year 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother's Day as a national holiday.

In fact, over the past 100 years, Mother's Day has become the third most celebrated holiday, ranking behind only Christmas and Easter, and is celebrated in more than 50 countries.

As moms, we’re in good company! There are an estimated 85.4 million moms in the United States. That means you’re not only one in a million, you’re one in 85 million!

Any way you say it, “Mom” is “Mom!” In a majority of world languages, the word for “mother” begins with the letter “M” or a “ma,” “mo” or “me” sound.

You’re never too old to be a mother! In 2003, a retired schoolteacher in India gave birth to her first child at the age of 65.

Mother’s Day means a break from the kitchen!

It’s the busiest day of the year for restaurants, with over 60 percent of families choosing to dine out and

give mom a day off from cooking.

Moms invented alphabet blocks, diapers and folding cribs! It’s no secret that moms are the “mother of all inventors,” but would it surprise you to know that all these great tools that make it a bit easier to be a mom were invented in the late 1800’s? Even then, moms knew what they needed to get the job done!

A mother’s influence is far reaching – even into your children’s adult lives!

Bet you didn't know that Mr. Rogers wore sweaters knitted by his real-life mother on his popular television show, ‘Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood’.

There are many ways to celebrate Mother’s Day! Whether you receive handmade cards and gifts, flowers or simply spend time with your family, Mother’s Day is celebrated with enthusiasm. In fact, in the former country of Yugoslavia, the kids play a key role! On Mother’s Day, the tradition is to tie up their mothers and only set them free when they reward their children with a small treat!

Happy Mother’s Day!

campus. For them, Berkeley was the celebrated center point of the era’s various civil rights causes – but it now appears it represents the beginning of the end of a movement once all about unfettered speech.

My strong suspicion is that real ’60s-era liberals are none too pleased with their successor generation’s illiberal constructs. Yet with precious few exceptions, these aging activists are strangely silent.

Hopefully, they will remember (per the wisdom of the 17th century duke, La Rochefoucauld) that “… hypocrisy is the compliment that vice pays to virtue before it is too late.”

Does the left deny objective truth?

It is as if the flower power, anti-war generation of 1960s activists have all come back to lead the world and transform America.

On second thought, this analogy will not suffice.

Those ’60s refuseniks would never have countenanced speech codes or trigger warnings or anti-free speech safe zones. They practiced, indeed, celebrated speech and dissent, especially on

In contrast to North Carolina, the highest scoring states in the rankings were Nebraska, North Dakota, Vermont, Kentucky, and South Dakota.

“I hope this report is a wake-up call to families in Nebraska and North Dakota, the two states that received top marks due to their lack of parental choice options,” said Dr. Terry Stoops, director of the Center for Effective Education at the John Locke Foundation. “North Carolina’s school choice community is here to help.

NCHSAA, Board of Education agree to a Memorandum of Understanding Membership approves suspension of some Bylaws

Ironmen senior Trip Creason, who signed to play baseball for Ferrum College, readies to throw to the BCHS Yellow Jackets batter in last Friday’s home game at Fraley Field.

Ironman Will Heavner crosses home plate as his teammates file out to congratulate him on his home run blast.

On Monday, March 14, 2022 the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) and the North Carolina State Board of Education (SBOE) both approved and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allowing the Association to continue to oversee the governance of high school athletics in the state for the next four years.

The agreement comes after the passage of HB 91 by the NC General Assembly in November, which required the two parties to have a formalized relationship.

Additionally, the member schools of the NCHSAA voted on and approved suspension of the Association’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that are in conflict with the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding. This vote was approved via electronic ballot and satisfied NCHSAA Bylaw VII which requires three-quarters affirmative votes of the total ballot distributed.

“We are glad to be able to

continue to govern and lead in the area of education-based athletics for the member high schools of our state,” said

NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker. “Further, our Board of Directors See BOARD, Page 9

The proclamation was read to Mrs. Green by Councilwoman Jill Parker-Puett and noted the profession is a time-honored one and a “vital part of local government” existing throughout the world. It is one of the oldest offices among public servants, read Mrs. Parker-Puett.

the team – pitcher Raegan Nowowiecki (#17), who has signed to play for Guilford this fall. Raegan’s mom and dad, Jennifer and Ricky Heavner, and her sister, Savannah, escorted her onto to the field where her teammates gave her a basket of gifts and flowers.

Coach Henley then invited the Lady Ironmen families and the visiting BCHS team and their coaches to get a colored balloon corresponding to whatever type of cancer their loved ones have battled and take part in the 9th Annual Cancer Night Walk. He and his daughter, Brooke, a former CHS Lady Ironmen player, led those who joined them in a walk down the first base line from home plate and around the bases to honor their loved

ones and caregivers who have faced, or are facing, or are battling cancer. or providing care for them. At the end of the walk, each individual released his or her balloon into the air and watched them rise up to heaven in a show of love, support and hope.

CHS AD Scott Harrill later noted, via an email, that the start of SPC 1A/2A tournament playoffs was set to begin Tuesday, May 3, and continue Wednesday, May 4, and Friday, May 6.

The Tuesday game times are as follows: Thomas Jefferson at Cherryville at 5 p.m.; and BCHS at East Gaston at 6 p.m.; with Shelby at Highland at 6 p.m. The Lady Bulldogs of Burns have a bye, he said.

According to the law passed by the General Assembly in November, the NCHSAA and SBOE had until March 15, 2022, to sign the formal Memorandum of Understanding.

nicipal Clerk. Paige has been employed with the City of Cherryville for over 27 years has worked in many positions. She enjoys helping the citizens of Cherryville.

Council also voted on and approved a revised ordinance regarding the grant project ordinance for the American Rescue Plan act of 2021 recovery funds. City Manager Brian Dalton spoke to Council members about this.

Mr. Dalton also spoke to Council about insurance benefits for City retirees in which two plans were lined out for benefits being paid out. Council voted to approve and adopt both of the plans, with the exemptions Council discussed in the meeting.

Council then heard from City Manager Dalton about the City’s Water and Sewer Funds and how a possible average bill increase (of $13; $6.50 for water; $6.50 for sewer) for inside the City and outside

the City water customers would increase the W/S Fund by $402,000. The W/S Fund is, according to Mr. Dalton, not one of the City’s strongest funds currently, a fact that needs to be addressed at some point, he noted.

In other business, Councilman Freeman noted he has received calls and complaints from citizens asking why the Cherry Blossom Festival and The Farmer’s Market have both been cancelled.

The main reason noted for the cancellations is due to the construction taking place on Main Street.

City Manager Dalton said, “It was just not feasible (to have them) because of the work being completed,” and so far as the Farmer’s Market is concerned, it was noted in the meeting that in addition to the street work, there were other issues noted as causes for it not reopening until further notice.
