Waco native son; former World Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson honored Signs heralding champ and his home town dedicated at Nov. 10 ceremony

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Whenever you hear people talking about boxing in general these days, one of the names sure to be mentioned is that of World Heavyweight Champion, the late Floyd Patterson, formerly of Waco, N.C. He was known as “The Gentleman of Boxing”, and he was every bit that, and more.

The Town of Waco had a dedication ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 10, to honor the late champ’s memory, inviting NC Boxing Commission Chairperson Valerie Dorsett to speak about Mr. Patterson and his contribution to the sport.

Patterson, who was born on Jan. 4, 1935, in the small town of Waco, and who passed away in 2006, made history, as Ms. Dorsett noted in the speech she gave that day at the Southern States store, located on 2330 Cherryville Rd., and just across from one of the signs, just as

Amazing turnout; folks helping their you head toward Waco from Heavyweight Champion community the real Cherryville. In addition to – a fight he won on Nov. Dorsett, Waco Mayor John 30, 1956 by knocking out story Barrett, and a host of local and state officials were on hand to pay tribute to the man whose humble beginnings took him not only to center stage in the greatest boxing arenas and venues of the world but helped him stand before and meet many great leaders, telling them his story and of his ability to become who he became.

In addition to eventually becoming the World

Archie Moore, making him, at 26, the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in the history of boxing – Patterson won the New York Golden Gloves title in 1951 and 1952. He then became an international sensation at age 17 when he took Olympic gold at the Helsinki, Finland Games in 1952.

Perhaps the real Community Thanksgiving Meal story isn’t so much that more than 1,000 people were fed a nutritious Thanksgiving meal in this sort-of post-pandemic world, even though that is surely true!

No, the real story is that the 2021 Cherryville Community Thanksgiving meal proved that it really IS (always) better to give than to receive!

Organizers, sponsors, suppliers, and volunteers

and church liaisons all agreed that this year’s sortof-post-COVID Cherryville Community Thanksgiving Meal will always be remembered as one for the record books in that not only were more than 1,000 Cherryville and area folk were fed an amazing Thanksgiving meal, but that so many came together yet again to do so much for so many.

Tammy Campbell, who was the Volunteers Coordinator, noted the folks wanting a hearty and nutritious meal “…started lining up at 9 a.m.” that Saturday morning, Nov. 20.

Said Mrs. Campbell via email, “We had about 40 volunteers at the (American) Legion building and the dressing was prepared by a crew at the First Wesleyan Church. We made a

total of 1,093 plates, but some were just sides. We ran out of turkey around 1:15 p.m., but had already served over 900 people by that time. We let people know we were out of turkey and they were happy with all the sides. We served that until we had no food left.”

Many plates were deliveries to Cherryville and Bessemer City area Meals on Wheels folks, noted Campbell.

Campbell, whose sisters, Shelley Campbell and Laurie Carpenter, once again helped her with the event, along with so many other great folks, said, “We could not have done it without all out volunteers,” adding, “Our local Food Lion is the best. They sent out a crew to prepare all the sides in the kitchen. It was a great day!”

Local law enforcement agencies – the Cherryville Police Department, the Gaston County Police Department, the Gaston County Sheriff’s Department, and the Gastonia Police Department, released information last week that around lunchtime of Thursday, Nov. 18, an armed robbery occurred in Cleveland County at a local HVAC business located on Earl Road, according to authorities.

The suspect, whose identity was not released at that time due to its being an ongoing investigation, fled the scene. Reports noted this led to a chase and later, an officer involved shooting involving multiple agencies including the Cherryville Police, Gaston County Sherriff’s Office, and Gastonia Police.

On Friday, Nov. 19, information was received from GCPD authorities that the suspect involved in the offi-

cer involved shooting incident was identified as Chucky Nathaniel Bowden, 54, of 610 ½ South Mountain St., in Cherryville.

Chief Cam Jenks of the Cherryville Police Dept., said that shortly after the robbery occurred, CPD officers from his department encountered the suspect while conducting a follow-up investigation for Cleveland County.

Said Chief Jenks, noting the media release from the GCPD, “The suspect fled in a vehicle and a pursuit resulted. Several agencies were involved. The suspect crashed on Highway 279 near Dick Beam Road. After a foot pursuit, we (Cherryville Police) encountered the suspect and shots were fired. The suspect then fled on foot and an extensive search ensued.”

According to further information in the media release, during the search, information was developed reporting the suspect being at Creekside Market Deli between Bessemer City and Cherryville in

Gaston County.

As Gastonia Police, Gaston County Sherriff’s and Gaston County Police approached the store, the suspect was encountered with hostages inside. Shots were fired which resulted in fatal injuries to the suspect. No hostages or law enforcement officers were injured.

The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations is investigating both of the officer involved shootings. No further information is forthcoming as the OIS is under investigation by the NC SBI and any additional information, noted Chief Jenks, will be provided by them (the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations).

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call Gaston County Police Detective T. Pilkington at (704) 866-3320, or Crime Stoppers at (704) 8618000.

Gov. Roy Cooper says he will sign the first budget from the General Assembly since he took office in 2017.

The announcement came in a news conference last Tuesday, Nov. 16, and before the first vote from the Senate on Tuesday afternoon. As of Wednesday morning, the Senate had passed the budget 40-8, with 14 Democrats voting in favor of it. A final Senate vote was coming Wednesday, Nov. 17 with the House slated to vote that Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday, Nov. 18.

The General Assembly released the $25.9 billion budget plan Monday, entitled the 2021 Appropriations Act. “While I believe it’s a budget of some missed opportunities and misguided policy, it’s also a budget that we desperately need at this unique time in the history of our state,” Cooper said.

Cooper said the budget gets many things right: Expanding high-speed internet across the state so people can access educa-

tion and conduct telehealth visits with a medical provider. He also mentioned funding for universities, infrastructure, and help for businesses recovering from the pandemic.

Cooper praised many of the things that were also in his own budget proposal. But the legislature’s conference budget didn’t escape his criticism, particularly his years-long demand to expand the Medicaid entitlement program, a reason he gave for vetoing every budget since taking office.

“This budget fails to extend health care to the hundreds of thousands of people by expanding Medicare. The legislature directs future tax cuts to corporations rather than the middle class and lower-income.”

The bill also contains policy limiting a governor’s emergency authority, a move that would become effective after Jan. 1, 2023.

This action would not affect Cooper directly, as he can’t run for another term as governor. The revisions were part of the original Senate budget bill this past spring and a direct response to Cooper’s emergency declarations over the past 20 months due to the pandemic. Those orders included restricting people’s

movements, limiting gatherings, shutting down businesses and schools, and setting curfews. The revision would require such orders to get approval from a majority of the Council of State after a set period. The council is a group of 10 statewide elected officers, including the lieutenant governor.

The budget plan includes language to ban collusive settlements, effective immediately. Cooper vetoed a bill in September designed to block the state attorney general from entering collusive lawsuit settlements and stems from a controversial 2020 lawsuit settlement involving state elections. Cooper indicated that these elements may be challenged in court.

“This budget also makes unnecessary politically motivated missteps that will be overturned in courts,” he said. “By signing this budget, I want to make it clear that I didn’t consent to the constitutionality of these provisions.”

Cooper also made clear his opposition to cutting taxes on businesses.

“I do not support tax cuts for corporations. They don’t need it,” he said in response to a reporter's question. “I do not support tax cuts for the wealthiest indi-

viduals in North Carolina.

There are many years to fight for a fairer tax system in our state. It gives the tax cuts to lower-income and middle-income families instead of those who need it least. I think it is wrong, that particular part of the budget, but I will continue to fight for fairer taxes moving forward.”

If he vetoes the budget, Cooper said, many critical funding opportunities would evaporate at a time that they are so desperately needed. But he praised his veto power, supported by Democrats, saying it was an important and successful tool in making North Carolina a better place for people to live and work.

“I will continue to use it when I believe a bill causes more harm than good. I will also continue to reach across the aisle and work with this legislature in a bipartisan way whenever I believe the people will benefit from it,” he said.

“However imperfect this budget is, our schools, communities, small businesses, our families, need help right now, especially as we recover from this pandemic. I will sign this budget because of its critical and necessary investments, and I will fight to fix its mistakes.”

House Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, immediately released a statement on Cooper’s plan to sign the budget.

“This budget represents months of hard work and good-faith negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, House and Senate, and our governor.

The result is a spending plan for the state that addresses the most critical needs of North Carolinians.”

Moore continued, “North Carolina has not had a budget since 2018, and I am encouraged that Governor Cooper has promised to sign this budget and we can finally give our state a budget they can truly be proud of and one that meets the most critical needs of North Carolinians.”

Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) added, “This budget continues the Republican-led legislature’s decade-long commitment to low taxes and responsible spending.

The multi-billion dollar surpluses these policies helped create are evidence that they’re working, and it means we can cut taxes even more.”

As she noted, “Subsequently, Floyd retired from professional boxing with a record of 55 – 8, 40 KOs and one draw. This is a very impressive record

for one who weighed only 185 pounds, with a 71-inch reach in the heavyweight division.”

Dorsett noted also that “…after retiring from boxing Floyd continued within the industry,” and was “…a Champion for boxing, testifying before a Congressional subcommittee.” Dorsett said Floyd also served as Chair of the New York State Athletic Commission and was also voted into the US Olympic Committee Hall of Fame in 1987, and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.

In closing her speech, she said, “Floyd was definitely loved by the public,” and “…was an inspiration to all, and though he and his family moved to New York at an early age he never forgot his roots in North Carolina,” adding, “I had the honor of not only meeting Mr. Patterson but escorting him at a fight night and definitely agree that he was the Gentleman of Boxing.

Black Friday will never be the same…

Black Friday will never be the same again for all of us at the Powell household. Last week we experienced the unforeseen and most unfortunate passing of a very dear person – my mother-in-law’s youngest sister – a woman who was like a sister to my wife. Like me, my wife is an only child and her Aunt Ruby Dean was the sister she never had.

Losing someone – anyone, really – is hard.

Losing someone like Ruby, well, it is – was – a hard hit everyone of us in our extended family just didn’t see coming. Who doesn’t see anything like the loss of a loved one coming anyway?

No one is ever looking for things like that to happen… they just DO, but because she wasn’t very old and she always seemed to be so full of life, with a good word for everybody, it slammed into us like a ton of very big bricks.

Give me a break! Crowds backed up as far as the eye could see? HAH! Not EVEN a challenge to that diminutive Irish elfin sprite and her mischievous smile, as she scanned the crowd for a shopping opening, eyes twinkling the whole time in anticipation of finding

a great after-Thanksgiving, Black Friday deal!

I can only ever remember being brave (or stupid) enough to venture out with her and her sisters, her niece (my wife) and her daughters on those wild, early morning deal-finding jaunts to the local mall or wherever else the BFP (Black Friday Posse) wound up after a hair-raising, money-spending spree, their hard-won swag and loot piled into the back of their soccer mom vans.

I think I may have bought some wee trinket, at which they all looked at me like I was a moronic time-waster, and a bleeding idiot novice at Black Friday shopping when I dared to show it to them.

Still, as I wistfully stare at our smart TV, watching all the ads for the various deals waiting to be had at this year’s Black Friday sale, I can’t help but think of Ruby Dean.

I can’t help but think of her blissfully happy little elfin self, carting

around bags three times her size full of deals; trailing her daughters like a planet pulls its moons along its orbital pathway.

In my mind she is stopping for a brief second in one of the store aisles to poke at her cell phone, asking her husband where he is, and can he meet them for breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and if he can’t, they why the heck not!?

In my mind, I am smiling at the joy on her face as she and her sister, Shirley, and her niece (my wife) spot some crazy little trinket that Store XYZ is offering

if you will only buy this coffee maker, and can she have three of the little toys please as she has grandkids now?

In my mind she is hale, healthy, and hearty and is moving at light speed from one sale to another, bags and sacks in tow, sale papers in hand and cell phone glued to her ear chatting away amiably with another family member or close friend, telling them they have GOT to see this deal!

I don’t see her as I saw her last week. I am thankful none of us will ever have to see her like

that again or feel the pain we felt then.

Next time I see her, I know it will be walking those streets of gold with her beloved Savior, Jesus, Whom she was SO anxious to meet face-to-face.

We love you and miss you Ruby Dean. There will never, ever be another one like you and we will NEVER forget you! Thank you for how you enriched ALL our lives.

Oh, yeah! And thanks for teaching a goofy old man how to Black Friday shop like a ninja!

See Only Evil

The Haiti kidnapped missionaries, consider the costs of such trips (Ed. Note: Since this was written, reports are that at least two missionGlenn Mollette aries have Guest Editorial been released unharmed) The missionaries consisting of 16 Americans and one Canadian kidnapped by the Haitian “400 Mawozo” gang Oct. 16, is extremely scary. The gang has threatened to kill the humanitarian Christians if a million dollar per person ransom is not fulfilled. The group consists of men, women, children and an eight-month-old baby.

These missionaries have sacrificed their time and paid their own way to go to the poorest place in the Western hemisphere to try to spread God’s love and save some souls. In turn, the missionaries are experiencing a nightmare like they’ve never imagined.

They’re imprisoned and being threatened with a bullet in the head.

Most of us will never get over seeing journalists being beheaded and tortured in Syria and Iraq by the barbaric Islamic extremist group called ISIL. Burning people alive and beheading others were too graphic and gruesome to ever be forgotten.

Why do journalists, missionaries and humanitarian aid workers go to such places to risk kidnap-

ping, rape, torture and unimaginable deaths? There is always the belief that “it will not happen to me.”

Some might view such a trip as a vacation.

Years ago, I traveled to a third world country on a “missionary trip” with others thinking it would be a nice break. I’ve never worked so hard in my life.

Sadly, the 17 missionaries in Haiti are undergoing a cruel experience that may end with the cost of their very lives. What are they thinking now? What is going through the minds of the little children who traveled to a world to help others and spread God’s love?

Haiti has been the site of years of humanitarian efforts. The United States and other countries have given billions of dollars to help Haiti. Sadly, hurricanes, political unrest, underdevelopment and extreme poverty have all made for a sad scenario.

How much money would the world have to give to Haiti to make life better for this nation? This is a question no one can answer because usually aid is a short-term solution.

We spent a trillion dollars in Afghanistan and they aren’t any better off today.

Good missionary people went to Haiti with good hearts for helping others in the name of God’s love. They went to share a message they hoped would bring about change and better lives.

They may now lose their lives.

Christians point to Jesus as the model for such mis-

sionary efforts. He came preaching and teaching in an effort to demonstrate and spread God’s love and it cost him plenty – his life, executed in public on a cross.

There are some Christians today who, like Jesus, are willing to risk their lives for the sake of others.

Did these men and women literally go to Haiti taking their children with them truly believe they could be killed? Would they purposefully do this to their children? Who convinced these people that such a trip with small children was a good idea?

My goal here is to simply say, think about such trips to places like Haiti.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Northern Nigeria and numerous others countries are not vacation spots. Foreign travel may sound exotic and adventurous but consider the possible cost.

Many missionaries and Christian workers have paid the ultimate price in order to spread the gospel of Christ. Only eternity will reveal what their selfless sacrifice has meant to those whose lives they impacted.

By chance, if you decide such an international trip is not for you, don’t feel bad. Consider helping in an American inner city, Appalachia or maybe your own neighborhood.

Service at home is needed across America.

Let’s pray for the safety of these missionaries and for those negotiating their release. May God help them and all who may consider such endeavors.

free country where our brave soldiers have fought for our freedom through the years. We live in a free country where we can vote for the politicians we like, choose the careers we want to pursue, and live where we want to live. And these are only a few of our freedoms.

Being thankful just makes me feel good.

It reminds me of how blessed I am to be loved by God and my family, and then to be able to enjoy other basic blessings God has given to me.

One thing I especially enjoy is the job that God has continued to bless me with after so many years. I love being able to tutor students and to be able to encourage them to do their very best. So the days after Thanksgiving – for me – are surely full of thanks!

mal?” I must admit it has crossed my mind and has been in many conversations with my brothers and sisters in Christ. As leaders scramble to find quick answers to the inquiry, no one knows for sure what to expect. No one is sure of what tomorrow may bring.

The people of Israel struggled with similar questions and circumstances. Continuously, they were overtaken by foreign nations, and experienced living under the rulership of foreign kings. They struggled to make ends meet, while in prayer for a brighter day. Amid their national circumstance and insecurity, they were expect-

ing the fulfillment of the One Who the prophets had mentioned time and time again. There was a hopeful expectation and a preparation that they, as a people, needed to do. They had to acknowledge that God loved them enough to make such a promise and fulfill prophecy that had been foretold many years ago.

As we enter the Christmas season of 2021, let us turn our sight to the One Who IS Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace and King of Kings. He came once as a baby, lived among first-century Jews to show the

very character and essence of the Father. He offered His own life on our behalf so that we could have a relationship with Him and the Father.

He came and promised that He will return again soon for His people.

This Christmas, may the peace that surpasses all understanding fill our hearts and minds and, like the shepherds that night, may our hearts be filled with joy as Titus 2:13-14 proclaimed, “… looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself

AMAZE JESUS The bible tells of a Centurion man who caused Jesus to marvel by his faith. He believed Jesus had authority and could heal by just speaking a word. Luke 7:9 (NIV) states, ”When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Like the centurion, I believe that those students impressed the Lord by demonstrating their faith in such a powerful way. They were not ashamed to proclaim his name and live for him!

They also brought the Lord great joy. Luke 15:7 (ESV) says, “Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” When Thomas surrendered his heart to Jesus, all of heaven rejoiced. In fact, each of them glorified Christ and their acts will be remembered throughout eternity. Also, I am very sure that the parents and pastor of these youth are proud of them.

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting some remarkable young people while visiting a friend in Georgia and attending her church, Cornerstone Athens. Their pastor called them to the front to share their powerful testimony of bold faith. Camryn Wright, 17 and Jacob Wright, 18 who attend different schools started a bible study and invited all their friends, bringing two counties of students DANYALE PATTERSON together. Thomas Waters, 17 attended this bible study where God began to deal with his heart. Eventually, he became born again at a camp. Once he had accepted Christ, he wanted to be water baptized.

For a while he had waited to get on the church schedule, but decided to ask his friends Jacob and Jarius Johns, 17 to baptize him. Jacob with Jarius’ help quickly accepted the life-changing task. He stated, “It was one of the coolest things I have gotten to do.” His pastor publicly apologized for not getting Thomas on the church calendar sooner, but commended them for taking action and being model Christians. In addition, this wasn’t a private baptism; they invited their football team and others to gather around and witness his confession of faith. Proverbs 28:1b (ESV) says, “The righteous are bold as a lion.”

While some are timid in their convictions, these young people are starting bible studies, baptizing their friends, and proclaiming their beliefs to their peers. They truly are a chosen generation of leaders who are transforming lives and bringing honor to God.

PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord, I praise and adore your holy name. Please help me to be bold and courageous so I can share my faith with others and live for you. I ask you to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit. I pray that everyone I come in contact with will see the light of Christ and will want to know you. Also, I pray that you will continue to use these students to bring glory to your name. I ask you to put a hedge of protection around them, bless their endeavors, and keep them on the path of righteousness. Lord please raise up more youth for your glory. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.”

Ironmen get first win of hoops season against North Gaston Wildcats Lady Ironmen lose to Lady 'Cats 20-48 in season opener

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

As they headed into their Thanksgiving holiday the 2021 CHS Ironmen basketball squads (JV, and varsity men and varsity ladies) played their first non-scrimmage games at Nixon Gym on Monday, Nov. 22.

The results for the JV and Lady Ironmen teams wasn’t quite what they wanted as their Wildcat counterparts took the wins on the Bud Black Court, but for Coach Scott Harrill’s men, a hard-fought game resulted in a 63-53 victory for the Ironmen.

After the JV’s loss, CHS Coach Carrie Dalton’s Lady Ironmen lost 20-48 to the Lady 'Cats in a slow to get started for either team,

low-scoring game in which the CHS ladies had a hard time of it, scoring just 7 points in the first quarter.

By the half, they had 11 points on the board before heading to the locker room.

While all the ladies who got some time on the court played with heart, Coach Dalton’s top scorers were Terayha Bess and Gabbie McCorkle, with 6 points apiece. Four other ladies score 2 points apiece; they were Ceniya Powell, Alexsandra Colvin, Krista Davis, and Evionna McDowell.

In varsity men’s action, came back from a half-time deficit of 28-34 to defeat the varsity Wildcats men’s team of North Gaston by a final score of 63-53. Carson Kelly was the high scorer for the CHS men with 21 points in the season opener. Senior Jack Mulvey followed with 13 points; returning player Numerius Good had 12 points; then big man Gavin Cease,

with 10 points. Kelly, who was one of Coach Harrill’s three-point shooters last year was slow getting back into form but he finally found his “groove” in the third quarter with two 3-pointers, followed by two more in the fourth quarter.

Other shooters for the Ironmen in this matchup were newcomer Collin Huss ( a 3-pointer); and Cooper Sloan and Darrien Floyd, each with two points apiece.

The Ironmen teams traveled to play Pinnacle on Tuesday, Nov. 30, then are on the road again Wednesday, Dec. 1, to play North Gaston at North Gaston.

On Friday, Dec. 3, they are home at Nixon Gym against the West Lincoln Rebels; games start at 4:30 p.m.

(JV), and at 6 p.m. (varsity ladies), followed by the varsity men’s game.

The Cherryville Community Thanksgiving Meal event was, like last year, a drive-thru event, but Volunteer Coordinator Tammy Campbell said everything went well.

MEAL From Page 1 For Josh Peacock, Food Lion’s manager, the Cherryville Community Thanksgiving Meal was a “first” for him, though he has been with Food Lion for 18 years and has been involved with similar events in the past in other areas.

Said Peacock, “I felt like the event was a good thing for the community. The (community) involvement was really strong. The turnout was amazing!”

For Food Lion Customer Services manager Karen Newton, a 30-year employee of Food Lion and a veteran of more than a few Thanksgiving Meal events, being able to once again help out those in need of a hot meal this season was the “icing on the cake” of being involved.

Newton was pleased that

many of the Cherryville Food Lion staff was able to volunteer and help out this year, just as they have done in the past.

Manager Josh agreed, adding, “It was nice to see some of our young people get involved.”

Peacock noted Food Lion had to order ahead in order to make sure they had all they needed, noting the orders started “…a month out”. He added it was basically a situation of Food Lion basically saying, in effect, “…let our family feed your family” at the Community Thanksgiving Meal.

Another way Food Lion reaches out, he and Newton noted, was the store’s $5 food boxes which go to Cherryville Area Ministries.

As for doing it again, all of those involved are happy things went well this season and are hoping for even greater things for Thanksgiving 2022.

Ms. Peyton Lail, a Food Lion employee, was just one of many from that local store who volunteered her time to help out at the Saturday, Nov. 20, Thanksgiving Meal.
