Fast-moving remnants of Hurricane Zeta move through the Cherryville area Power knocked out from roughly 8:15 a.m., until 1:30 p.m., for some; after 8 p.m. for others

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

The City of Cherryville had its power knocked out all over town on Thursday, Oct. 29, for as long, in some instances, as almost 12 hours, as the remnants of the fast moving Hurricane Zeta rolled into western North Carolina.

City Manager and Fire Chief Jeff Cash noted that at “…approximately 8:15 a.m.,” the City’s power went out. He said City power crews got right on it getting it back on for “the majority of the City” at roughly 1:30 p.m. The power outage problem, he added, was at the Duke Power substation, and once

Duke got their substation back up and running, Chief Cash said, “Then we began working on our issues. At that point, we had about 700 customers off. The big problem for these customers was major damage on Old Post (Road) and South Elm (Street) and the majority of those customers’ power was restored at approximately 6:30 p.m.

“From there our crews travelled to Vista Dr., where we had multiple outages and it was restored at approximately 8 p.m.”

Mr. Cash noted that as of his interview (8:21 p.m.), the City still had approximately 25 customers out in the Kenwood subdivision area.

“Our crews started on that area at 8:15 p.m.,” he said.

As for what caused the outage and where it was.

Chief Cash noted the problem was with the Duke Power substation that feeds

our substation.

“It was a Duke Power issue,” he said.

City Public works Director Brandon Abernathy said, “It was their (Duke’s) line on First Street, where the pole is broken. It tripped their station, which cut us off. “(As of Saturday, Oct. 31) they still haven’t fixed the pole,” which is in front of the Skate Park.

Brandon continued, “They were able to isolate their lines so we could get back online.”

As for Cherryville getting any outside help, Cash said no outside assistance has been utilized, however, he added the City of Lincolnton sent a crew of two to help with the Kenwood subdivision.

Chief Cash said, “From the initial outage, all the city was out until approximately 1:30, until 2 p.m.”, and that, to his knowledge See ZETA, Page 9

Cherryville Assistant Fire Chief Jason Wofford said this year’s “Toys for Tots” campaign will look a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“That’s true,” said AFC Wofford, stressing that their department is handling the ‘Toys for Tots’ Christmas toy drive a little different this year than in the past.

AFC Wofford said their department received an email from Chaplain Brad Hall, of the Gaston County Firefighters Association, which read (in part) as follows: “Last year we were able to help collect around 9,000 toys for 3,816 Gaston County children. This year the need is going to be even higher and due to the COVID pandemic, the 2020 Toys for Tots drive will be a little different.

“To keep our responders safe, the Gaston County Firefighters Association is not going to publicize any collections by our affiliated members or distribute boxes

Hocus Pocus Parade ends through Cherryville last Friday Disney-style event took place of Little Spooks Parade and the town’s Scary-Ville festivities

Last year the Toys for Tots items collected by the Cherryville Fire Department were picked up by their fellow firefighters from Gastonia. Cherryville Fire Department personnel, (retired) Capt. Wendell Poole (left) and Assistant Chief Jason Wofford (right) happily announced the three collection boxes were picked up Friday, Dec. 13, 2019. (file photo by MEP/The Eagle/CF Media) & yard signs.

“We do realize that citizens may drop off donations this year out of habit from years past. The decision of how to respond to this will be up to each department or agency.”

Chaplain Hall then noted two options for the departments regarding taking any toys: directing the givers to the website https://gastonia-nc.toysfortots.org/ or any local donation boxes

in the area; or receiving the donation at their respective stations and calling him, whereupon Chaplain Hall said he would get the donated toys and gifts picked up.

Chaplain Hall said in his email he has spoken to the local “Toys for Tots” director, who he said thanked the firefighters for their past participation and who fully understands that there is a See TOYS, Page 9

Trying to fill the shoes or take the place of someone or something else is no easy matter, but if you can do it, and do it well, then its magic!

Such was the case with Cherryville’s first Hocus Pocus Parade, held last Friday, Oct. 23, and which essentially took the place of the Little Spooks Parade and the town’s well-loved and well-known (by now) ScaryVille fall events.

Cherryville Chamber President and Events coordinator Mary Beth Tackett said, “This (Hocus Pocus Parade) was (done) in place of Little Spooks Parade and Scary-Ville. It was the first City-wide for the community.”

Characters from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” ride their float down Main Street at last Friday’s Hocus Pocus Parade. (photo by MEP/The Eagle/CF Media) Mrs. Tackett said they had 10 floats/vehicles in the parade, adding, “This event was not open for the public to join in on.”

She continued, “All the floats were built by the Events Team, Modern Security, and Mr. Tom Moss.

We also had two vehicles done by Kyle Carpenter and Lane Hunsucker for Transformers and Jurassic Park, but I reached out to them privately.

“We wanted to ensure that this parade was high quality and full of everyone’s favorite characters.

If we would have opened it

up to the public there would have been no way to be sure there was only one of each character, and such if we opened it up to join in.

“We modeled it after the Disney Celebration Parades so it was full of music, lights and fun.”

Additionally, Tackett and some of the Chamber members got in on the fun too as they dressed up as characters from some of the beloved Disney and Marvel and DC comic book superhero movies.

She herself was one of the notorious “Sanderson See PARADE, Page 6

■ OBITUARIES

Margaret Boyles Stroupe CHERRYVILLE – Mrs. Margaret Louise Boyles Stroupe, affectionately known as ‘Mag’ to her family and friends, 84, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2020.

She was born at her childhood home on North Mountain St., Cherryville, on May 3, 1936 to her parents, Marie London Boyles and Noah Benjamin (Ben) Boyles. She had one older brother, James Howard Boyles.

Mag grew up in Cherryville and had fond memories of her formative years in and around the Dora Mill village; and the community store, owned by her father, N.B. Boyles Grocery. Cherished neighborhood friendships remained constant throughout her life. She attended First United Methodist Church with her family, and later, when married, she became a faithful member of First Presbyterian Church. She attended Cherryville High School, and would receive a two-year degree from Lenoir-Rhyne College. Friends and family know of many funny remembrances – and some mischief – Mag would recall from her school days.

Mag met the love of her life, Wade Hector Stroupe, Sr., while working for her father; and Hector was working for the adjacent Dover Textile/ Dora Mill Company. Mag and Hector were married on April 21, 1961, at the First United Methodist Church, Cherryville, and later a daughter, Amanda Marie Stroupe, and a son, Wade Hector Stroupe, Jr., were born. Through her young married life, Mag worked alongside her husband and other family members at Stroupe Florist. Later, Mag was employed with Gaston County Schools, at Cherryville East Elementary, retiring as an elementary assistant.

She always treasured the close relationships she shared with many staff members and students. Margaret was also lovingly known by friends and family as “Gigi”, a nickname given by her treasured grandchildren, Wade Alexander Harrill and Patrick Allen Harrill. While Hector was the love of her life, and she adored her children, nothing came close to the affection and pride she had for her precious Alex and Pat. Special memories from family include: her insatiable desire to hear, and to tell, a good joke; many wonderful and humorous stories of travels, especially trips to the cottage at Kure Beach; and getting together on any occasion and most weekends with good friends and the ‘chicken club’. Mag was always ready for any festive occasion: parties, special dinners, birthdays, weddings and receptions.

However, holidays were always at the top of Mag’s list: including her love of the

Community Sun Rise Service and Joe Gainey playing Easter music on the organ at First Presbyterian; Fourth of July and summertime fireworks and cookout events: hosting Halloween hot dog suppers while giving out tons of candy; the closeness and special feeling of family and friends together at Thanksgiving… she dearly loved holidays. But none more so than Christmas – from adorning her Christmas dinner table the day after Thanksgiving, to baking Christmas goodies as soon as the fall air became cool, to her love of wonderful music and the Christmas Eve services at First Presbyterian, and finally to her ‘world famous’ Christmas Eve party, which traditionally lasted into early Christmas morn. Mag would be the last person to bed after her party, but would always be the first up Christmas morning, singing carols and putting the final touches on luscious Christmas meals.

Mag was always very blessed to be surrounded by love and affection from many, many wonderful friends. She cherished the many wonderful times together with her ‘Golden Girls’. Nothing was more satisfying to Mag than to have one friend or possibly a crowd, gathered at her kitchen table… enjoying a cup of coffee or drink of choice… and be enthralled in conversation, laughter, and remembrances of life together.

The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the many friends, neighbors, helpers and care-givers who provided attention and care to Mag over the past few years.

In addition to her parents Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Hector; her brother, Jim Boyles and wife, Martha Fussell Boyles.

She is survived by her daughter, Mandy and Mike (‘Mickey’) Harrill; son, Wade Stroupe and Mary Brown; grandchildren, Alex and Kristen Balboni Harrill; Patrick and Leslie Tomerlin Harrill; many special family members, including her adored nieces and nephews, Jim Boyles, Jr.; Sallyn Boyles and Tom Sharp; Susan Boyles and Scott Williams; Mary Ellen Stroupe; Art and Barbara Ann Stroupe Stegall; Sid Stroupe and Gary Atkins; Carole Stroupe; Bill and Martha Jon Blackwelder Hicks; Buddy and Judy Blackwelder Talbert; Howard and Jane Blackwelder Homesley; John Blackwelder; Mary Frances Kistler Lail; Hillard and Connie Wise; and Joe Wise.

A Memorial service, conducted by Mag’s beloved pastor and friend, Rev. Dr. Billy T. Lowe, was held at First Presbyterian Church, Cherryville at 3 p.m., on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020.

Burial followed at City Memorial Cemetery in Cherryville.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, face masks and proper social distancing was observed.

Mag’s wish was that memorials, in lieu of flowers, please be made to First Presbyterian Church Growth Fund, 107 West Academy St., Cherryville, NC, 28021.

A guest register is available at www.stameycherryvillefuneralhome.com.

Stamey – Cherryville Funeral Home & Cremation Service served the family of Mrs. Stroupe.

The Meals on Wheels/

Gaston program ensures that seniors have access to nutritious food, as many of them lack the family support, mobility, or resources to provide

this necessity on their own.

The program also makes it possible for seniors, who are often alone, to receive a friendly visit each day from a volunteer. Along with that visit, volunteers perform a safety check with each meal

delivery. In case of an emergency or problem, the volunteers can call for medical assistance, as well as notify family members.

For those seniors who have mobility, Meals on Wheels serves meals at six

sites throughout Gaston County: Belmont, Bessemer City, Cherryville, Dallas, Gastonia, and Mount Holly.

If you would like more information about the Meals on Wheels/Gaston program, please call (704) 862-7540.

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

– Melody Beattie

Taking a walk through the woods…

(NOTE: This getaway moment brought to you, dear reader, courtesy of this writer’s sketchy and rapidly diminishing memory of his youth… Enjoy!)

Hey! You know, I did something the other day I haven’t done in long, long while. Especially since I’ve lived here and since I’ve become an official “old guy.”

I took a walk in the woods.

That’s all… just a simple walk in the woods.

I mainly did it just to try and calm my mind down and step back and try and de-stress from all the political garbage and other stuff posing as “news” and “breaking news” being slung at me these days in my job as a small-town journalist.

As I reflect on my walk, I have to say it brought back a great many wonderful memories, all resurfacing from a childhood I never thought I could remember, since that was way back there in the dim fog of the pre-hysterical times, as our son and daughter used to say.

The woods are sort of near our home here in Cherryville, and I won’t say where so as not to reveal what I consider to be a nice quiet “stomping ground” of sorts. The only real difference between this little piece of heaven and what I used to visit with my cousins and all our running buddies and cohorts in neighborhood shenanigans back in the day,

By Michael Powell michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com

is that those woods in western Kentucky in that day and time were what we called “old growth” woods, with some trees being roughly 100 years or more in age. I later found out that at least three or four of them (oaks and maples) were in the neighborhood of 200 to 300 years old!

Supposedly there was one old pine-like tree at the edge of those long-ago woods that may even have been around for even longer, but that’s a speculative memory on my part.

Oh, I know the Old North State certainly has more than its share of old growth forests and such, all of which I would love to visit if I ever have time, and all of which are, I’m sure, equally as beautiful as any in this great land (AND it IS a GREAT LAND, make no mistake of that, all you nay-sayers and American history and culture destroyers!) of ours.

That said, let’s move on, shall we?

Perhaps the neatest thing – or things,

maybe – I can recall even today, especially if I take just a little time to do so – are the wonderful, earthy, leafy, deep forest smells of that old patch of woods from my youth. To this day I can still smell them but have an increasingly harder time trying to actually describe them.

The woods I was in the other day has those same smells and like the aroma from my grandmothers’ kitchens whenever they were in “baking mode”, had that ability to reach down inside of me and strike that ringing chord of memory that jumps to life in your brain, drawing you backward to a simple time; a simpler place where things were just as bright and sunny as the late October sun filtering down through a thousand unfallen red, yellow, brown, and purple leaves, gently rustling on a slight, aromatic breeze.

Even now, I can look back in my mind and gaze upon what to me then looked like the biggest acorns I had ever seen; surely enough to make a week’s meal for any squirrel or deer that happened upon them. I kept some of them for a long time, but where they got to later on in my life escapes me. They probably got thrown out by a more grown-up, more serious me somewhere along the way.

And that’s where I am today, back from my walk, two weeks re-

When you think about it, I don’t suppose it really matters what season you like best because each one has the unique touch of God’s hand.

Each one is special with its own weather and colors and life events to celebrate.

I pray that your upcoming life events are safe and exciting no matter what season in which they take place.

Back to a more serious me; a more serious way of dealing with the unpleasantness of life in general. Back to having to do what we all have to do – just get on, as

author Stephen King said in one of his novellas, with the business of life.

Still, dear reader, try and take some time, especially after this election, no matter who

winds up in the White House, to take a nice, quiet walk in the woods.

And, while you’re at it, reacquaint yourself with, well… YOU! To the road less traveled, my friends!

The Bengals and The Browns stood together – Could this work for America?

I haven’t watched much professional sports over the last few months.

Glenn Mollette Guest Editorial Recently I did tune into the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns football game.

My attention grew when I saw both teams on the field, arm in arm standing together for the national anthem. I didn’t see three or four kneeling or one team in the locker room and another team on the field. I didn’t see anyone standing on their heads or someone else doing flip-flops or something else. Both teams were standing, arm in arm in attention for the national anthem. I watched the entire game. The Bengals and Browns played one of the best games I’ve watched in some time. The game was fun to watch.

What they did was so simple yet so profound.

They stood arm-in-arm for the national anthem.

On the state flag of Missouri, we find these words, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” This is also the state motto for Kentucky. Of course, words

are only words if they are not backed by action.

The only way to deal with and overcome racial injustice in America is for all of us to stand together. We must all stand against inequality. There is no room for bad police in America. We must all stand against all police acts that are unfair and eliminate all police who are not mentally stable or fit to wear a badge. We must fund and support those who DO wear the badge and put their lives at risk to protect us. We need a strong and good police force in every American community.

If we will stand together in America, we can protect our nation from being overtaken by evil forces.

We can strengthen our infrastructure. We can keep our military strong.

We can keep Social Security and Medicare solvent for our aging population.

We can make healthcare accessible for every American regardless of income or preexisting conditions.

If we stand together, we will find a vaccine for COVID-19. We can bring our strong economy back and America will continue to be a great country.

What could happen in America if Congress would all stand together

in unison for something?

Regardless of the issue or the vote, the other political party is demonized for their stance on almost every issue. What could happen if Congress would stand with our President and try to help him tackle our difficult national problems? Regardless of what he wants to do the Democrats fight him and undermine him at every turn. Regardless of what the Democrat’s want to do the Republicans fight them at every turn. This isn’t working for our country.

What could happen if far left-wing media in this country would stand with our President and try to help him? Instead, they fight him on his every move and every word.

A nation is no greater than her people. America is filled with great people but we aren’t a great country when we are fighting each other. The sure way to lose our country is to devour each other. If we devour each other, China, Russia, or whoever, will take over whatever is left.

Then, they will be telling us when to stand, sit or kneel.

We can keep our freedom if we stand together now.

Why fracking is a big issue

by DR. MARK W. HENDRICKSON In a previous column, I described the “paradox of prosperity” – the strange tendency of many people who have benefited from economic advances to denounce and vilify the source of their prosperity, a sort of “bite-the-handthat-feeds-you” phenomenon.

One example of this syndrome is the perplexing (some would say “perverse”) antipathy that many Americans have toward fossil fuels, despite fossil fuels having been the key driver of our country’s rapid economic development over the past 160 years.

In the late 19th and 20th centuries, oil provided a reliable, abundant source of energy

that propelled our country’s emergence as the wealthiest nation in the world. Today, thanks to the technological breakthrough of “fracking” (i.e., using water, sand, and high pressure to fracture subterranean rock formations, thereby releasing huge quantities of natural gas so that they can be brought to the surface for human use), new generations of Americans can once again achieve unprecedented levels of affluence and prosperity from plentiful inexpensive energy.

Fracking, however, has become one of the hot-button issues in this year’s presidential campaign, particularly here in western Pennsylvania.

Democratic candidate Joe Biden has a long track record of advocating a phasing out of fossil fuels

sooner rather than later.

The 26,000 Pennsylvanians currently employed in using fracking to extract huge quantities of natural gas from the massive Marcellus shale formation that lies underground are not eager to lose their jobs under a Biden administration that is determined to “transition” away from natural gas. In this short piece, I will not wade into the political debate, but I do want to clarify some basic economic facts about the fracking industry. I share these as an economist who has long lived in western Pennsylvania and taught and lectured on energy.

The enormous boost that cheap natural gas gives to the American economy is reason enough to continue with See FRACKING, Page 6

Thanks-Living In just a few short weeks, most will be preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday. My prayer is that everyone will have a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!!! If you are like me, you will gather around the dinner table with a rich spread of delightful dishes. You’ll stuff yourself until your tummy aches and won’t feel bad about it - after all it’s Thanksgiving!!! Sur- DANYALE PATTERSON rounded by family, food, and fun, you’ll look around and know that you are blessed.

When the special day is over, we will all get back to our daily responsibilities and workflow. Often, we are inclined to dread this transition of leaving relatives and friends to return to the grind of life. Not only that, gravitation toward murmuring and complaining about the people we love and the long to-do list, often shows up after the short break. Consequently, scripture challenges us to be joyful and thankful daily. Here’s a few of those verses: • “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24) •“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (I Thessalonians 5:16-18) •“Do everything without grumbling or arguing.”

(Philippians 2:14) •“Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful.” (Colossians 2:7) • “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” (Colossians 3:15) What if we decided to expand the true meaning of Thanksgiving from just one day into a way of life. What if we focused on “Thanks-Living?” Instead of waiting for the big festivity, we can live a little of the spirit of Thanksgiving on a regular basis. Joyfulness and thanks-living is a choice. Our attention can zero in on losses, disappointments, and setbacks especially in this 2020 year, or we can meditate on the goodness of the Lord and how blessed we truly are. The prophet Habakkuk exclaims, “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!”

(Habakkuk 3:17-18) PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord, you are good and your steadfast love endures forever. Forgive me for complaining instead of being thankful for what you have already done for me and what you are doing in my life. Lord, I don’t want to take anything for granted, because it could always be worse. When I get discouraged or sad - strengthen me. Fill me with joy and peace. Help me to fix my thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Lord, remind me to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. In Jesus’ name - Amen.”

Remember, Jesus quoted the Old Testament (OT) scriptures in His teaching of what and Who the Messiah would be to the world!

On a web-site, Bible.

During my seminary days I discovered a way to approach the OT as one who always thought it was too much to comprehend or had little to add to the New Testament teaching. It is a simple but systematic approach I believe God gave me.

“Who ya gonna call?” The Ghostbusters, that’s who! The iconic hearse, courtesy of Mr. Tom Moss and family, makes a showing at the Oct. 23, Hocus Pocus Parade. (photos by MEP/The Eagle/CF Media)

On this float at the 2020 Cherryville Hocus Pocus Parade, held on Friday, Oct. 23, are the notorious “Sanderson Sisters” (from the movie, “Hocus Pocus”), played by Mary Beth Tackett (‘Winnie’), Hannah Garrett (‘Mary’) and Amber Dellinger (‘Sarah’). Gary Dellinger was ‘Billy Butcherson’ and Bailey Tackett was ‘Dani Dennison’.

Arrrggghh! It’s Captain Jack Sparrow and his pirate crew aboard the Black Pearl (Mike, Tina, and Emily Clark, of Modern Security)! So, as the good captain says, “Shiver me timbers and avast, ye lubbers, and pass that Halloween candy, or it’s the plank you’ll be walking!”

At the start of the parade, fans came out to see Jack Skellington and his gal pal, Sally, a couple of characters from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”.

A few more Hocus Pocus Parade characters from Marvel and DC superhero comic book fame, before the parade actually got started. kind of fun and Halloween celebration to our community during this pandemic.

“This year has been so hard on everyone; especially kids, when it comes to dealing with COVID-19. Since all other events have been canceled this year it was so important to us to bring something to the community that was fun and something to look forward to. But you really never know what we will do or come up with next.”

Tackett and company are great at what they do for the town and so many are appreciative of it all.

However, it doesn’t come easy or with a wave of a magic wand or a magical snap

Sisters” (from the movie, “Hocus Pocus”), with help from Hannah Garrett and Amber Dellinger.

“Gary Dellinger was Billy Butcherson and Bailey Tackett was Dani Dennison on the float,” she said.

As for any plans to keep this event even if they are able next year to have the Little Spooks Parade and ScaryVille, Tackett noted, “Right now, we are still planning on doing Scary-Ville and the Little Spooks Parade next year.

“The Hocus Pocus Parade was really just to bring some

of the fingers. There is a great deal of “elbow grease”, a.k.a. “work” involved.

Said Mary Beth, “I have to say, this event was so much work! It took so much time to plan the route, design the floats, and put them together.

“With all that said, this event was SO worth it! Seeing kids standing in their driveways jumping up and down with excitement, seeing our seniors standing in their doorways dancing and waving, and adults smile as they see some of their childhood favorites driving right past their house.

“You can tell this year has taken its toll on so many, so it was nice to see people

just genuinely smiling and having fun again. It was a magical night. I hope this event blessed the community at least half as much as it blessed us.

“As always, this event wouldn’t have been possible without this Event Team, which consists of Gary Dellinger as chair, Mike and Tina Clark, Hannah Garrett, Rhonda Stephens and Allison Brewer. Also, a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who participated on the floats, and to the Cherryville Police and Fire Departments for keeping us safe along the way and all of our sponsors! Thank you SO MUCH!”

It’s Sparky the Fire Dog, beloved mascot of the Cherryville Fire Department, making sure everyone is safe from fire and smoke during the parade!

fracking, but there are also important geopolitical, health, and environmental benefits to natural gas.

Geopolitically, fracking has made the United States energy independent. This reduces the perceived need to deploy military forces to far-off unstable lands to ensure that their oil continues to flow. Our growing ability to export liquified natural gas to western Europe reduces the leverage that Vladimir Putin has had due to European dependence on Russian fossil fuels.

In terms of human health and environmental quality, natural gas is far safer for workers to extract than coal, and burning it causes much less pollution than coal.

Replacing coal with natural gas also has resulted in the United States achieving the largest reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in any advanced economy. This is rather ironic considering that many critics still chastise the United States for not signing the Paris Accord, when, in fact, we are doing more to reduce CO2 emissions than the countries that did sign the accord.

As fracking supplies us with more and more natural gas – keeping the costs of heating our homes and factories under control – human ingenuity is finding additional uses for the com-

ponents of natural gas that aren’t consumed as fuel.

This is a repeat of the economic conservation practiced by John D. Rockefeller with Standard Oil a century ago: Instead of discarding residue, why not find practical uses for it? Rockefeller’s scientists and their successors developed over 6,000 useful products from crude petroleum (everything from ball-point pens to important pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, perfumes and lipstick, waxes, solvents, paints, etc.).

The most outstanding example of finding valuable uses for the non-methane components of natural gas (methane being what we heat our houses with) is the multi-billion dollar “cracking” plant that Shell Oil Corporation has built about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. This plant separates (“cracks” in industry lingo) ethane out of the natural gas and converts it into plastic.

Obviously, that massive cracking plant is providing additional high-paying jobs for skilled workers in western Pennsylvania. Imagine the consequences of shutting it down. A policy of depriving Americans of a supply of cheap, clean fuel, and a stream of valuable byproducts of that fuel, would be economically damaging to all Americans. It would also constitute a direct threat to the livelihood of tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians.

He continued, “ Several trees were on homes, but no injuries were reported to us. A major tree fell, and there was major damage to a home on Clayton Street.”

Cash noted the City’s Fire and Police Departments and GEMS responded to calls all day.

Chief Cash said he was unable to ascertain a full damage report at the time and anything resembling a “dollar amount” estimate was too premature, adding,

Pink St., and at Pine Ave., and Main St.; and wires down on Lincolnton Hwy., just to name a few issues brought about by the storm’s power.

Additionally, several local Volunteer Fire Departments at Hugh’s Pond, Tryon, Waco, and others had their hands full making sure people were safe.

They were ably assisted by police units of the Gaston County Police Department, the Gaston County Sheriff’s Department, and other nearby municipality police departments in towns like Waco, Dallas and Bessemer City.

Captain Wofford noted that while they are not advertising for toys to be dropped off at the station house so as to limit exposure, they are advertising for folks to go to their website and make monetary donations.

Warehousing, transportation logistics return to former Carolina Freight complex in Cherryville A media release recently noted that International Express, with Corporate Headquarters located in Lowell, NC, has purchased the former Carolina Freight Complex in Cherryville.

This 70-acre complex, on Hwy. 150, houses seven buildings and will increase their capacity by over 300,000 square feet. The purchase was completed on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020, according to the media release.

International Express is an asset-based carrier offering Warehousing, Logistics and Trucking Services with locations in Gastonia, and Charlotte; and in Atlanta, Georgia.

Their services include, warehouse storage, pick and

pack, repackaging, distribution, U.S. Customs bonded warehouse services, full truckload, less than truckload, container drayage and final mile pick-up and delivery services.

Howard Shope, President and CEO said in the company’s media release, “Our plan is to renovate the site, returning it back to a functional transportation business park, while preserving some of history. We want to ensure Cherryville and Gaston County can once again be a

transportation hub for the Domestic and International Logistics community.”

He continued, “The site will offer Regional Logistics Customers, and an Intermodal Logistic Business Park capable of supporting various transportation services needed within the geographical area.

“Carolina Freight did it right, plain, and simple. They were a ‘mecca’ in the freight world, and anyone that grew up here knows that. Trucking and logistics are in the blood
