by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

For nine years One Body One Mission ministry has been loading backpacks with much-needed school supplies and giving them out. This year was no exception as the group had a nice turnout on

Saturday, Aug. 7, for kids and their parents or guardians to come by and get blessed not only with the backpacks, but with a delicious lunch and, if they wished, great haircuts so they could look sharp and feel great about going back to class.

City of Cherryville’s new website now up and running

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Cherryville has a new web site and it is now up and running, according to Downtown Director David Day, who noted he and others felt it was time for a change and an update.

The catalyst of change, noted Mr. Day, was simple.

“The previous web site was done several years go.

The company that designed it basically took the first website, copied it and loaded it.

The software to use it was extremely difficult and only one or two persons could post or update anything and that would take a lot of time and was extremely limited,” he said recently.

As for the catalyst for change, day noted it “…was moving our city forward with the new business, new Main Street, and growth.”

He continued, “The marketing of our website and city needed to be user friendly to our community, informative.

The majority of people use either their smart phones or tablets and our new site works well with those and allows the user to maneuver easier. We are implementing QR (phone scannable) codes around town soon to allow information for our museums, historic buildings and information about our city.

“One new use we’ve used is the QR codes on signs at the Dixie Softball tournament and also the Legion Tournament. Instead of printing

This is just one of the many colorful moving images you can find at the header of Cherryville’s new web site. (screen shot by David Day) thousands of brochures to hand to our visitors, they’re able to scan the QR code and it brought them directly to our website under visitors.”

From there, Day said, with other new software, users are able to search for restaurants, retail, and other serves by sorting them to their needs.

“We are the only city in

the state using this software.

It is extremely easy to navigate and also change as our city changes,” he said, adding, “We had over 2,300 hits on our website the week of the Legion ball tournament and we know 80 percent of them were done by smart phones and tablets. We can See WEBSITE, Page 2

“I was asked to start doing promotions not only for Main Street but the city as a whole.

We looked at several companies for ease of design and user-friendly software for our future so we wouldn’t have to invest in a full time IT person to handle the major work load this requires keeping it updated.

Mayor Beam also noted he had good news from the state for the City in that Cherryville had received their first allocation of ARP (American Rescue Plan) funding to the tune of $967,565.44, which he said had already been deposited into the City’s bank account.

Mayor Beam noted the City would receive another check of a similar amount next year.

In other “Mayor’s comments” information, Mayor Beam noted the property at 903 E. Church St., has been cleaned up and boarded up and that he and City Manager Cash had attended the Main Street kick-off address.

helped us look and decide on the design. We had several virtual meetings and provided them the ideas we felt would be best and they did the initial setup of the site, and transferred our information. This took several months of approvals, checking, updating and getting ready to launch.

“On June 1, we transferred from the previous company and we went live at 4 p.m., that afternoon. Since then, myself and Maddison Freeman (of the Cherryville Police Department), have been adding more material, updating and enhancing it daily. Since the launch – and we’ve not even actually made it known publicly – we’ve had over 2,900 hits on the site. Our city has been searched for over 830 times looking for specific information and we feel now is the time to launch it so the citizens of Cherryville can make better use if it and our

other social media.”

As for what is “new and improved” with this site as opposed to the older one, Mr. Day replied, “The new site is more modern and features businesses and actual parts of Cherryville. The photo on the old site wasn’t even our town.

There are blogs so our citizens can find the current status and updates of our Main Street revitalization, videos of the ‘Monday with the Manager’, City Council meetings and blogs from the mayor. We had new photos made of our council members and even more information will be online soon. These improvements make the page easier to navigate and we can change, update and enhance daily if need be. We review the navigation of the site weekly and have made changes. Our goal is user-friendly, informative and (having) information in a current modern setting.”

Regarding extra features on this web site that weren’t on the previous one, David noted, “We are in the process now of adding email-text software to our citizens at no cost.

This will allow us to notify them of information concerning our city. We can even pinpoint certain areas to notify if there is a power outage, street closure or other things so we can keep them informed. This should be launched mid-September and it is an option our citizens can use. Their emails will not be sold to or distributed to marketing emailers nor would their phone numbers.”

Day said folks can find our site at www.cityofcherryville. com. “We did not change the previous URL address, just the content,” he said.

Day continued, “The reason we chose this particular company was the ease and features that came at no extra expense. One feature we are

enjoying is when we do an update or add information, with one click we can add it to our City of Cherryville, Main Street, or Chamber of Commerce Facebook page.

We have also developed an Instagram account that we’ll be using as well.”

Lastly, Mr. Day said, “We actually review all information sent to the Main Street office from all of our notifications.

Mayor H.L. Beam, City Manager Jeff Cash, Police Chief Cam Jenks, Acting Fire Chief Jason Wofford and other cities employees frequently send us notifications and we post them daily and often hourly.

“Our goal is not only to provide our citizens with current information but future events, and activities through our entire town. Again, we will take advantage of the QR codes and other digital marketing to our website. We also work with a company in

Charlotte doing some digital marketing for us. We design the ads and they are promoted through the five surrounding counties on Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and a few others.

“This is reaching over 50,000 people a month about our town and we have actually spoken to several who’ve seen our marketing, driven into town to see our banners, flowers, and have had lunch at one of our restaurants and shopped in our merchants’ stores.

“As Cherryville and our economic development grows, we will see this website used more, and more additions will be added to keep our citizens and businesses informed, promoted and marketed. We are very excited about how this has come into play and feel it’s a great needed tool for our future.”

to extend our congratulations to the Dixie Girls Softball team, the Angels, for their winning the World Series in Moncks Corner, South Carolina,” said Beam.

Mayor Beam also said he and Mr. Cash attended the County ETJ meeting where Piedmont Lithium and its representatives talked about what their mine would mean for Gaston County and its communities, adding that on Aug. 6, the County Commissioners had imposed a moratorium on the lithium mine’s further operations, at least until they could look at things in more depth.

Under the “Citizen’s to be heard” section of the meeting, former Mayor Wade Stroupe, of 210 S. Dixie St., said he just wanted the Council to be aware, as regards the county wanting to bring in their own water and sewer lines to the area Piedmont is looking at, that Cherryville already has water and sewer lines in that area.

Said Mr. Stroupe, “I just want us to be aware of that and to be on top of things about that, is all.”

Mayor Beam thanked Mr. Stroupe and added,

“Our main concern in this is what will Cherryville get from it (the county’s wanting to locate their own W/S lines).”

Next to the podium was Huntersville developer Michael Foss who was there to show, as he said, “…support for the tax amendment (flexible options on housing) and to let Council know that their company was going to ask for annexation and tell Council their plans about possibly donating sewer and water and infrastructure aspects of their proposed buildings they presented to Council at the last session.

Council also recognized employees Jon Rudisill and Chris King; Rudisill for 30 years of employment with the City and King for 20 years. They also intended to recognize Capt. Nathan Bowman for receiving the Western NC Association of Firefighter’s Fire Officer of the Year award. Mooresville Deputy Fire Chief Shane LaCount was to have presented the award to Capt. Bowman but neither individual was present, so Council postponed the special recognition until a later date.

Planning and Zoning

Director Derrick Mackey talked about the Council granting a CUP (conditional use permit) on parcels of property located at 1444 W. Academy St., for Georgia developer Dennis Blackburn, whereupon they voted to do so. Mr. Mackey then asked Council to set a date for a public hearing on property rezoning of 114 Cone Street. Council agreed to set one for their Sept. 13, regular session.

Two vacancies on the Cemetery Committee were filled as Council agreed to appoint Councilwoman Jill Parker-Puett to it as the Council’s liaison. Councilmen Malcolm Parker and Gary Freeman voted to approve the appointments of Billy Crews and Linda Hudson to the Cemetery Committee to fill the vacancies that will be left by Mr. Bob Faires, and Mr. Bob Gilreath.

City Manager Cash went over the City’s COVID-19 policy updates, which they all agreed to discuss further at their Aug. 31 work session. Council then discussed other business before going into closed session.

City Manager Cash said

the next day (Wednesday, Aug. 11) there was no action taken.

“It was an EDC project

where the Mayor, Council, and staff were provided information only,” Mr. Cash noted.

Need to connect to WiFi? Try Your CBL’s parking lot!

by TRACI POLLITT Cherryville Library Branch Manager The last 18 months or so have been difficult in many ways for many people.

Perhaps some of the biggest issues came with the closures and/or partial closures of schools here in N.C. and across the country. School systems turned to remote learning, issuing tablets to students, which helped those without their own personal computers or devices.

However, barriers still existed for those with poor or no Internet connections. Solutions needed to be found, and the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDCR) went looking for them.

Enter the federal CARES Act and a grant for funding possible solutions. The NCDCR created an initiative called NC Student Connect to address barriers and inequalities with online access. Their first project was “Park and Learn” which sought to provide free high-speed WiFi access to students in rural communities.

How? By helping install WiFi hotspots at sites such as state parks, historic sites, school, and – wait for it – libraries! In addition to more than 350 locations receiving these hotspots, the NCDCR purchased more than 84,000 hotspots to distribute to more than 200 school systems and/or charter schools.

The Gaston County Public Library was one of the library systems that benefitted from the “Park and Learn” project.

Back in December last year, our own Cherryville Branch Library received one of these WiFi hotspots for our parking lot. Additional hotspots were installed at the branches in Lowell, Belmont, Bessemer City, Dallas, and Mount Holly.

The great news is that access should be 24/7! There is one big difference that we want to make sure every patron knows and that is the network name.

If you are inside our library wanting to use WiFi, we direct to you to “Libraries WiFi” – but if you are in our parking lot wanting to use this hotspot, you will connect to “NCGuestWiFi”. This will take you to the login screen which has the NC Student Connect logo on it.

It will have a box in the mid-

(graphic provided) dle saying “Welcome to NC Student Connect Free Wi-Fi” and a link to “Accept and Connect”. Once you click that last box, you should be connected.

We wanted to get the word out to our patrons about this great partnership, especially with school starting again.

If you or your student needs to get connected, head to our parking lot! Do keep in mind that while the connectivity is 24/7, printing and copies can

only be done during our public service hours.

For more information on library and community news, call us at (704) 435-6767, or stop by the branch at 605 E. Main Street. 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.

Remember – stay healthy, stay safe – and now, stay connected!

Palmer Huffstetler Sr. was invited to attend museum board meeting last Tuesday, Aug. 10, whereupon in honor of all the work he put in at the museum the board presented Mr. Huffstetler with a Museum afghan with the Museum and Train Depot printed on it. The current Chairman Mark Upchurch made the presentation. Palmer, it is noted, along with Howell and Ruth Stroupe, were the Cherryville Historical Museum’s first board members. Palmer was also the first chairman of the Cherryville Historical Association, Inc. The Museum and its volunteers and board members all say “Thanks” to Mr. Palmer Huffstetler Sr., and to Howell and Ruth Stroupe for being first board members and all their work to save our Cherryville history.

New Cherryville Principal Mrs. Audrey Hovis, said she a 2021 graduate from Cherryville High School, Wyatt Wilson, complete his Eagle Scout project at the school this summer.

Said Mrs. Hovis, “He completed this project in memory of his previous teacher, Nicole Boyer, who passed away of cancer several years ago.”

Wilson is a freshman band student who plans to major in English at Western Carolina University, and hopes to become a teacher one day, she said.

His mother, Tammy, is also the school psychologist.

A small group of around 10 or so gathered around 10 a.m., that Monday, including the school’s former Principal, Mr. Shawn Hubers, who transferred to Cherryville High School.

Mrs. Hovis, transferred to

serve as Principal of Cherryville Elementary School in June. She was most recently the Principal at Holbrook Middle School, she said.

Eagle Scout (Troop 323) Wyatt Wilson said the Sensory Room/Calming Castle was possible thanks to the help and support he received from his parents and family; his friends and fellow Scouts and Scout leaders; and others who saw the project as something whose time had come.

He and his Scout friends, who worked with him on the project, put in many hours, he said. Those who came and helped were: Ethan Carpenter, Ben Hayes, Jackson Childers, JT Willis, and the Sherrills, Ethan, Kevin, and Colin.

Said Wilson, “The Sensory Room area at Cherryville Elementary School, known as the ‘Calming Castle,’ has a purpose and that is to benefit the Exceptional Children’s Department at the elementary school.

“This room will serve as a place where children

with autism, ADHD, and various other mental or behavioral impairments can be soothed and calmed by sensory tasks. The room holds numerous sensory tasks like the body-hugging swing and pea pod, the ‘mermaid’ fabric wall, and the sensory table.

“This room is dedicated to the late Miss Nicole Boyer who served as a teacher at Cherryville Elementary School – she was actually my first and third grade teacher.”

Wyatt noted the project began at the end of July and was actually completed in one day. Much of the material was ordered from Amazon with many of the tools coming from Cherryville’s own Ferguson’s ACE Hardware store, he added.

At the event, Wilson said he wanted to thank all who came and to thank all the donors.

Said Wilson, “We had seven Scouts who worked very hard on this project with me, and it was unheard of that we finished an Eagle project in one day!”

students who had not registered.”

So far as any backpacks not given out on the day of the scheduled event, Eaker said, “Bags will be available for students to come by the ministry that need assistance till we run out.”

Another great aspect of the event is that the ministry also has stylists at the event so they can give free haircuts for al who wish to take advantage of the offer.

“We had (stylists) Megan Harrison and Stephanie Digh there. They were the two hair stylists that did 14 haircuts,” said Mrs. Eaker.

Kim said the backpack supplies were collected starting in July from churches and organizations in town, adding, “Volunteers from churches came on Monday (Aug. 2) and packed the bags before the event.”

As for the many volunteers who were there that day, Kim said there were too many to name, but that she and Sherry were extremely thankful to all of them for giving their time and efforts to help the ministry hand out the backpacks.

Additionally, Table of Grace gave out around 150 hotdogs, she added.

We are so glad that our community can come together and help students with their supplies to be able to start the new school year with a bookbag of supplies and a fresh new haircut. This is a community event with a rotation of churches as the host. We are so thankful for such great participation by everyone in Cherryville!”

Former CHS graduate (Class of 2021) Wyatt Wilson shows his sister, Izzy Wilson, one of the tables in the Cherryville Elementary Sensory Room. The project has many hands-on and tactile items for children to play with, touch, and otherwise enjoy as part of their learning process.

There is a plaque dedicated to Ms. Boyer, and Lori Hughes noted, “This room is a great part of her legacy. I think she would approve. Nicole would be speechless. The kids are going to love it!”

Mrs. Hovis said, “I’m excited! It is an amazing addition for our students.

They can now have a calm-

ing place to come to.”

She also noted the students, when they come, will have an adult with them at all times, adding that, to her knowledge, this school having the room is a ‘first’, so far as she has ever seen or heard about.

Former Cherryville Elementary Principal Shawn Hubers looked around,

clearly impressed when he came into the room.

Said Mr. Hubers, “Ms. Boyer was a terrific teacher, and she meant a lot to Cherryville Elementary.

Wyatt’s project is a beautiful tribute to Ms. Boyer and the sensory room is a great addition to Cherryville Elementary.”

God desires a loving relationship with us Protesters speak out against COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers outside Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem Tuesday, Aug 10. (photo by Anthony Crider/Carolina Public Press)

Some health care workers balk at hospitals’ COVID-19 vaccine mandates Some medical employees protest requirements for staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19 at state’s largest hospitals

by ANNA DEEN Carolina Public Press

As coronavirus case rates continue to climb in North Carolina, some employees of six major hospital groups in the state are pushing back against the employers requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for all employees.

“I am against the mandate because I believe everyone has a right to choose what goes into their bodies,” said Bridget Stophel Smith, a respiratory therapist with Cone Health.

Though she has received the COVID-19 vaccine and is in favor of wearing personal protective equipment in a health care setting, Smith said she has concerns over employers mandating vaccines that don’t yet have approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The N.C. Healthcare Association, the state’s hospital association, announced support for COVID-19 vaccine requirements for health care employees in late July.

Cone Health, Novant Health, Wake Forest Baptist Health, Atrium Health, Duke Health and UNC Health groups announced the plans at the end of last month, though deadlines for when employees must be fully vaccinated vary among employers.

Some employees are pushing back against the mandate by organizing protests and gathering on social media platforms like Facebook and MeWe, a platform with a light approach to content moderation that has made it popular among conservative groups as an alternative to Facebook.

One private Facebook group with nearly 3,500 members – many of whom self-identify as health care workers, from registered nurses to EMTs – created more than 1,000 posts in the last month alone. Some group members are organizing a series of protests across the state, urging fellow protesters to contact elected representatives or expressing concerns around topics such as getting medical or religious exemptions.

Following the announcements, employees who oppose the mandate began protesting, citing reasons that include the right to choose and religious freedom.

At a protest Tuesday morning (Aug. 10) outside Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, James Agee of Winston-Salem said he was there to “protest medical tyranny” that requires “gene modification therapy.” He said he thinks the shots being administered are “not a vaccine.”

Another protester, who identified as a nurse but declined to give her name for fear of retribution, said she worried about the adverse

reactions to the shot. She said she’d only feel safe to take the vaccine if there was a trial period of “five to six years.”

Some state House Republicans sent a letter to executives at the six hospital groups, urging them to reconsider the vaccination requirement for employees with greater input from staff.

Like many of her colleagues, Smith felt the vaccine requirement came out of nowhere. “It made me feel unappreciated and caught me off guard,” she said.

Currently, 62 percent of employees at Cone Health are vaccinated, said Patrick Wright, marketing and communications specialist with Cone Health. The employer has hosted town halls and is offering 25 employee vaccine clinics.

Cone Employees have until Oct. 8, to prove vaccination status. Religious and medical exemptions are still being reviewed and finalized on an individual basis.

“We value our team members’ rights to voice their concerns,” Wright said in a statement. “At the same time, we remain steadfast in our decision to require the COVID-19 vaccine because keeping our patients and communities safe at all times is at the core of our values and our commitments.”

Duke Health requires all team members, regardless of work location, to prove that they are fully vaccinated by Sept. 21, and to apply for religious and medical exemptions by Sept. 7, an internal message to employees from hospital executives said. Currently, staff members are more than 75 percent vaccinated, said Sarah Avery, director of Duke Health News Office.

“Our highest objective is the health of our patients, their loved ones, our employees and our community, and this is what motivated the decision to require staff to receive COVID vaccinations,” said a statement from Dr. Thomas Owens, senior vice president of Duke University Health System.

“Most of our staff members have already been vaccinated, and we are confident that the remainder will comply with the new requirement.”

Employees of Duke Health who aren’t fully vaccinated by the deadline will receive a final written warning and face progressive administrative action, potentially leading to termination of employment, the message said.

The announcements from health care employers came amid a series of vaccine mandates from other private and public sector employers, among which the state of North Carolina is requiring vaccine verification of state employees, Gov. Roy Cooper announced July 29.

would have been sufficient.

From the beginning of the Old Testament to the end of the New Testament the Bible is rich with verses that clearly state it was God’s desire and plan to establish a loving relationship between human beings and Himself.

Over the years, in the many funeral services I have been associated with, there are several favorite scriptural verses either the deceased left in their funeral plans or those loving family or friends have suggested in interviews with them.

Two of these are Psalm 23 and John 14. And there is no wonder as to why. They both emphasize this theme of God desiring a loving relationship with us.

Psalm 23 reads, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil. For Thou art with me…” (Psalm 23:4) In death we will not walk alone. Why? God’s loving relationship.

And in the Gospel of John, chapter 14, “…I go to prepare a place for you.

I will come again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:3) Again, God’s loving relationship.

There is this desire of God to have a loving relationship with you. Accept His gift offered through Jesus Christ if you have not done so already.

And continue to grow in that relationship if you have already accepted it.

Gaston College invites community to Aug. 19 Block Party College’s new look and mascot to be unveiled at free event

by LINDA HEALY VESPA Public Relations – Gaston College

When the fall 2021 semester starts in late August, Gaston College will be sporting a new look. The College will reveal their new branding, including a new logo, colors, mascot, and tagline, on Thursday, Aug. 19, at the Gaston College Block Party.

The community is invited to come to the Gaston College Dallas campus at 3 p.m., for the unveiling and to enjoy music, food, games, giveaways and other surprises until 8 p.m. There is no cost to attend this event.

The event celebrates the exciting new look and new developments at Gaston College, an institution that has promoted lifelong learning and economic development since its founding over 57

years ago. The affordable, high quality educational programs and services it offers have long been recognized for their excellence. Recently, the College’s Practical Nursing Program was cited as the best in North Carolina, the Apprenticeship 321 program was named Outstanding Apprenticeship Partner by ApprenticeshipNC, and the College was ranked among the top online community colleges in the United States.

New programs that prepare students for rewarding careers are expanding the College’s curriculum for the fall semester, and transfer programs and agreements that facilitate a smooth transition to a four-year school are in place.

“We look forward to welcoming our students, employees, alumni, and the entire community to our Block Party,” said Dr. John Hauser, Gaston College president. “This rebranding initiative gives Gaston College a whole new look, and it signals the strengthening of

The reveal of Gaston College’s new branding takes place in front of the Morris Library on the College’s Dallas campus at 3 p.m., on Aug. 19. (photo provided) our commitment to providing in-demand programs, stateof-the-art technology, and opportunities for achieving academic and career success.

“The relaunch of sports after 50 years is another sensational development at Gaston College,” Hauser continued. “Our student athletes, our experienced and accomplished athletics

department staff, and the student sports broadcasting team we’re assembling will give the entire Gaston College community even more reason to be proud of what we have to offer.” The athletics program includes men’s baseball and basketball, women’s softball, beach volleyball and cross-country, and esports. Athletics staff

and athletes will be at the event to meet community members and give a preview of new uniforms.

The Gaston College Block Party on Aug. 19, will introduce to the community Gaston College’s new look and re-introduce in a fun and exciting way everything that makes the College one of the area’s most valuable assets.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and engage with faculty and staff from many areas across the college, including admissions and both credit and non-credit program areas.

To help slow the spread of COVID-19, state departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) around the United States, and the Registry of Motor Vehicles in Canada, have expanded their online offerings, allowing drivers to book appointments or pre-pay for services.

Unfortunately, scammers are using this opportunity to trick drivers with lookalike websites that steal money and personal information, according to new reports filed by consumers on BBB.org/ScamTracker.

How the scam works You need to change your car’s title, get a Real ID, or perform another service that you would normally do at your local motor vehicles office. Instead, you visit what you think is the motor vehicles website to learn about their new COVID19 procedures. Your state may now allow you to complete the transaction online, or you may need to schedule an in-person appointment through the motor vehicle website.

But before you enter any personal or payment information, double check the site’s URL to make sure it’s the real deal. Scammers are taking advantage of the new online services by creating phony sites that claim to handle your license renewal or car title transfer. However, these cons really just steal your money and personal information, putting you at risk of identity theft.

For example, one victim thought they had pre-paid for a driver’s license renewal on-

How to avoid falling victim to a fake website • Double check the URL before you enter personal and payment information. It can be easy to click on a sponsored ad or imposter website without noticing. Before you enter any sensitive information, double check that you are on the right website and that the link is secure. (Secure links start with “https://” and include a lock icon on the purchase page. Learn more at BBB.org/ BBBSecure.)

• Be wary of third-party websites. Some websites appear to offer a legitimate service but are only fronts for a scam. Be suspicious of websites with no working customer service number and no physical address. Typos and grammatical errors can be indications of a scammer’s handiwork, too.

• Make online purchases with your credit card. Fraudulent charges made on a credit card can usually be disputed, whereas that might not be the case with other payment methods. Unfortunately, there is no way to get back the personal information you may have shared.

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, a U.S. Supreme Court case from 1905, established vaccine mandates as constitutional. Though no one can be physically forced to receive a vaccination, individuals can incur a penalty for not getting one.

Today, health care employers can and do require that employees receive a number of vaccines, including those for influenza and chickenpox.

However, current mandates represent the first time that vaccines authorized through an emergency use authorization

by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have been required for employees.

The FDA has said the emergency use authorization process, established in 2004, is as rigorous as that of the traditional biologics license applications other vaccines have received.

As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court has not yet interpreted the legality of a vaccine mandated through an emergency use authorization.

In June, a federal judge in Texas dismissed a court case brought by the employees of the Houston Methodist Hospital who challenged their employer’s vaccine mandate.

The judge said the claim from lead plaintiff and nurse Jennifer Bridges that the vaccines are experimental and dangerous is false and irrelevant, according to the order of dismissal.

Though they are not obligated to, more often than not, judges will often follow the rulings of other jurisdictions, said Jeffrey Hirsch, a professor specializing in labor and employment law at UNC Chapel Hill.

Until these cases are litigated in court, the legality of the mandates remains unclear.

The ambiguity centers on an emergency use authorization provision to the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in 2004, which states that each individual must be informed “of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.”

In part, the ambiguity is due to “consequences” possibly being interpreted widely, to mean simply the health consequences of refusing a vaccine or ramifications related to work and access to education.

The idea that this indirect language could limit an employer is a stretch, Hirsch said.

One exception could involve what’s called a “public policy exception,” which essentially means

that employees can sue if their employers fire them for refusing to break a law.

In this case, Hirsch said, this exception raises questions around whether terminating an employee for refusing an emergency use authorization vaccination undermines that provision.

According to Ifeoma Ajunwa, professor of law at UNC – Chapel Hill and a faculty member at UNC Kenan – Flagler Business School, lawsuits brought by employees on the basis of discrimination could be successful.

An employer must accommodate an employee with a disability or medical condition under the American with Disabilities Act, as well as a sincerely held religious belief in accordance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, unless accommodating either of those poses an undue burden to the employer.

Some have raised the question as to what role hospitals requiring other vaccines could play in religious exemptions. If an employee has previously been vaccinated but is now balking at getting the COVID-19 vaccine, that could be a factor in the court determining whether the employee’s belief is sincere, Ajunwa said.

The situations must be contextualized for each workplace, she said. For instance, because the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis, if someone works in a public-facing role, accommodating a medical or religious exemption could put an undue burden on the employer.

“If it’s not a burden for the employee to continue working from home exclusively, then there could be a good argument that they shouldn’t need to be vaccinated,” Ajunwa said.

Ultimately, she said, employers have a very compelling reason to mandate vaccines – it’s not just an arbitrary request. “Because we do have a pandemic, I think it tends to be pretty difficult for individual employees to prevail.”

New report shows academic, social impact of pandemic-era school shutdowns on students

by DAVID BASS Carolina Journal A new report is shedding light on the academic, social, and mental-health damage caused by school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A McKinsey & Co. report released Tuesday, July 27, examined test scores for 1.6 million elementary school students across 40 states in spring 2021 and contrasted the results with scores for students before the pandemic.

The results: On average, pandemic-era children are four months behind in reading and five months behind in math.

Students who are minorities or those who come from low-income householders suffered the most. Kids in majority-black schools were six months behind in reading and math, on average, while kids at schools with an average income below $25,000 a year were seven months behind in math and six months in reading.

Moreover, McKinsey found that high-school students were more likely to drop out of school and that high-school seniors – particularly from low-income families – were less likely to go on to attend college.

The learning losses have an economic impact, as well.

“Our analysis suggests that, unless steps are taken to address unfinished learning, today’s students may earn $49,000 to $61,000 less over their lifetime owing to the impact of the pandemic on their schooling,” the authors wrote. “The impact on the U.S. economy could amount to $128 billion to $188 billion every year as this cohort enters the workforce.

“Lower earnings, lower levels of education attainment, less innovation – all of these lead to decreased economic productivity,” the

authors added. “By 2040 the majority of this cohort of K-12 students will be in the workforce. We anticipate a potential annual GDP loss of $128 billion to $188 billion from pandemic-related unfinished learning.”

Academic declines weren’t the only bad news.

The report showed that 35 percent of parents are “very” or “extremely” concerned with their child’s mental health and social wellbeing.

Parents also reported “increases in behaviors such as social withdrawal, self-isolation, lethargy, and irrational fears” among their teens.

In North Carolina, a majority of public school students failed to pass endof-course tests in fall 2020, an indication of learning losses due to remote-only instruction. Stories from parents across the state show that it could be years before students recover academically, particularly for students with special needs, and the impacts extend to mental health, as well.

In March, Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican lawmakers reached a deal on reopening public schools for in-person instruction. The compromise plan returned most decision-making autonomy to local school boards.

A month later, lawmakers and Cooper found agreement again on two bills designed to address pandemic-caused learning losses. The first, House Bill 82, requires all public school districts to offer a minimum of six weeks of in-person summer school this year.

The second, Senate Bill 387, makes key updates to the 2013 “Read to Achieve” law, built around ensuring students are reading proficiently by third grade. The bill switches literacy instruction from a “look-and-say” method to the phonetic method.

KINGS MOUNTAIN – City of Kings Mountain welcomes legendary group, Swingin’ Medallions to kick-off the NC BeachBlast Festival Presented by Carolina Power Partners, Friday, August 20.

Based in Greenwood South Carolina, Swingin’ Medallions was founded in 1962. In 1966, the group hit #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with “Double Shot (Of My Baby’s Love)”.

“This is the second visit to Kings Mountain for Swingin’ Medallions,” states drummer Robby Cox. “We can’t wait to get back to Kings Mountain.

Swingin’ Medallions, from Greenwood, SC, perform at Liberty Falls Amphitheater Friday evening.

Photos provided by City of Kings Mountain The crowd is always ready to have a great time.”

The kick-off party begins at 6:00 pm with Carolina Beach Music Award winning DJ Eric Bowman followed by Swingin’ Medallions at 7:00 pm.

Many of your favorite

food vendors will be on hand serving kettle corn, seafood, burgers and more.

The full day festival begins Saturday, August 21, at 10:00 am.
