Casino battle heats up By Loretta Cozart On Monday, May 20 the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (ECBI) issued a statement in opposition to Senate Bill S. 790, sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Richard Burr and Thom Tillis of North Carolina that would authorize the Catawba Indian Nation of South Carolina to build a casino in Kings Mountain. In their statement, the EBCI cites a letter written to the U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee expressing opposition to the bill and signed by thirty-eight of the fifty members of the North Carolina Senate – including President Pro Tem Phil Berger. “It is concerning both North Carolina U.S. Senators have lent their names to a bill that would allow a tribe recognized by South Carolina to construct a casino in North Carolina to the detriment of their constituents,” said Ron Mau, Jackson County Commissioner. “We appreciate the support from surrounding counties and a super-majority of

arene, will deliver the sermon. “Becoming the best in a world of compromise” will be the sermon topic from the Gospel of Matthew 22:3440. The Kings Mountain Ministerial Association has arranged the service which will include prayers, scripture readings and special music by members of the Class of 2019. Sarah E. Fulton, Chorus Director for KMHS will direct the choral music. Heather Bundon will direct the 9th grade Band in prelude and postlude music.
the North Carolina Senate who are concerned with this federal attempt to silence the voices of North Carolina stakeholders, including the Eastern Band” said Richard Sneed, Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Richard Sneed, Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians said, “As it stands, this bill would create a harmful precedent – the first time Congress has expressly authorized an Indian tribe to acquire land into trust simply for owning and operating an off-reservation casino. We encourage the Catawba Indian Nation to go through the same proper process in their home state of South Carolina that we have worked through for decades as partners with our state of North Carolina.” The statement also notes, “If passed, the legislation (S. 790) would authorize about 16 acres of land in Cleveland County, North Carolina, to be taken into federal trust for a new Catawba Indian Nation reservation for the sole purpose of operating a casino.

Register to attend Opoid Summit in Raleigh Registration is still open for the 2019 Opioid Misuse & Overdose Prevention Summit, an event that allows North Carolinians to earn about solutions to address the opioid epidemic. The Summit, happening on June 11 and 12 at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh, is a two-day training and networking event with local and national leaders. In 2017, Governor Roy Cooper and NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen unveiled the NC Opioid Action Plan. Significant progress has been made over that time, but the epidemic has shifted and changed over the past two
years. The NC Opioid Action Plan 2.0 will be revealed at the 2019 Opioid Summit. The updated plan incorporates feedback from partners and stakeholders and will include local strategies that counties, local coalitions and stakeholders can implement. The mission of the Opioid Summit is to: • Engage partners in North Carolina in active learning and meaningful discussion to build momentum behind strategic activities that complement overall state and local efforts around opioid misuse, addiction and overdose death.

Henna by Anna Leigh will be there and concessions by Leisa’s Kettle Korn and T’s Tiny Farm Food Truck will be available plus lawn games and other fun activities. Chalk Fest is brought to you by the Cleveland County Arts Council in partnership with Uptown Shelby Association and is sponsored by Cleveland Animal Hospital. The Arts Council’s annual “Y’Art Sale” will be held that morning, from 8 a.m. – noon on the Lafayette St. Side of the Earl Scruggs Center. You will find great deals on frames, art, pottery, easels, fabric, yarn, thread, supplies, tools, photography paper and so much more! Also taking place that day on the Court Square is the Annual Shelby Breakfast Rotary Club Putt-Putt Tournament from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., on the Marion Street side. This event is open to all ages with prizes awarded
in different age categories and for teams. The cost is $4.00 per person or $15.00 per team of 4. For more information on the Putt-Putt Tournament contact Bob Davis at bdavistacc@bellsouth.net. Street art is thought to have originated in Italy in the 16th century. Originally, the artwork was of a religious nature, therefore the artists were called “Madonnari”. Vagabond artists would travel throughout Italy between festivals, living solely on the coins tossed onto or next to their drawings as homage to the Madonna or possibly to their abilities. For centuries, the Madonnari were true folk artists, but suffered a decline after World War II. For information about the chalk fest and to register, please call the Arts Council, 704-484-2787, or visit us at http://www.ccartscouncil. org/Opportunities.htm or https://www.facebook.com/ ClevelandCountyArtsCouncil .

CaroMont Health to invest more than $300 million in Gaston County CaroMont Health announced plans to invest more than $300 million in capital projects and facility improvements in Gaston County over the next five years. Projects include the addition of a critical care tower on the main campus of CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia, the construction and renovation of several medical office buildings, and the construction of a second hospital in Belmont. “CaroMont Health has provided life-changing and life-saving medical care to the citizens of Gaston County for nearly 75 years,” said Chris Peek, President and Chief Executive Officer at CaroMont Health. “This investment is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to this community and the thousands of patients who trust us to care for them.” The most significant financial investment in the history of the health system comes as CaroMont Health looks to offer more convenient access to advanced healthcare in areas where
population totals are expected to climb. “With nearly 250,000 patient encounters every year at CaroMont Regional Medical Center, the hospital has experienced a very steady increase in patient volume over the last several years,” said Peek. “Coupled with the projected growth of our community and the advancing age of our patient population, the need for hospitalbased care continues to rise. The construction of a second hospital in Belmont will extend our clinical network to better serve communities in the eastern part of Gaston County, and the expansion of critical care services at CaroMont Regional Medical Center will firmly establish the main hospital as a central hub for advanced medical and surgical care in our region.” The allocation of healthcare services is guided by the North Carolina State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP), a document prepared annually at the direction of the North Carolina Department of Health &
Human Services Division of Health Service Regulation and the North Carolina State Health Coordinating Council. The 2019 SMFP outlines the need for 33 additional hospital beds in Gaston County, with more expected in the 2020 plan. In the coming months, the health system will seek to obtain the Certificate of Need (CON) required to build and open the new hospital and will also pursue the necessary regulatory approval to reallocate and add critical care beds to the main campus. The construction of a second patient tower on the campus of CaroMont Regional Medical will expand critical care services at the hospital, an area that already sees large patient volumes. The planned expansion, currently estimated to open as early as 2022, will offer approximately 50 additional patient rooms with a floor plan designed to maximize care delivery and patient experience. Medical offices in Cramerton, Bessemer City, Gastonia Also included
Artists rendering of the planned expansion of CaroMont Regional Medical Center - Main on Cox Road in Gastonia. Photo provided is the construction of a 22,000-square-foot family medicine practice in Cramerton, expected to open later this year, and the opening of a new family medicine practice in Bessemer City, expected to welcome patients this summer. Still in development are plans for medical office buildings on and around the main hospital campus. While services are still being planned for CaroM-
ont Regional Medical Center-Belmont, the facility is expected to offer an emergency department, inpatient units for patients requiring admission or observation, a labor and delivery unit, and a full complement of diagnostic services including laboratory and imaging. Pending CON approval, the hospital could open as early as 2023. CaroMont Health has selected a site near the
crossing of Highway 273 and Interstate 85 to build the new hospital. Owned by Belmont Abbey, the founder and sponsor of Belmont Abbey College, the property lies adjacent to the school’s campus. The health system will enter into a long-term agreement to lease the land and plans to support Belmont Abbey College’s future establishment of a health sciences program.
National foster care award goes to country artist Jimmy Wayne National Council For Adoption (NCFA) presented the 2019 Warren and Mary Alice Babineaux Award to recording artist Jimmy Wayne in recognition of his continued commitment to creating positive change in the lives of children in foster care who need permanent families. The Babineaux Award was presented following Jimmy’s 223rd Opry performance on May 4. This performance marks the continuation of a two-decade country career whose highlights include seven Top 40 hits, the Number One smash "Do You Believe Me Now," and sold-out shows at venues like Madison Square Garden. Throughout his career, Jimmy Wayne has been a vocal advocate for children in foster care, openly speak-
ing about his own experience as a homeless youth who was taken in by an elderly couple — Bea and Russell Costner, 75 and 79 years old respectively — when he was 16 years old. They invited him to live in their home which allowed him to go back to school and ultimately pursue and catch his dream of writing and performing music. Jimmy’s three-time New York Times bestselling memoir “Walk to Beautiful: The Power of Love and a Homeless Kid Who Found the Way” has become a helpful resource for foster and respite parents seeking to better understand the children in their care. His children’s book “Ruby the Foster Dog’ — inspired by a puppy he rescued while on his walk halfway across America — explores

the challenges of foster care in a way that is both heartwarming and relatable for all ages. In 2010, Jimmy founded Project Meet Me Halfway — an initiative that inspires Americans to take-action in their home communities as volunteers and advocates for children in foster care. The campaign coincided with Jimmy’s walk halfway across America (1,700 miles from Nashville to Phoenix) to raise awareness of foster youth aging out of care into homelessness. Project Meet Me Halfway advocates for services for these at-risk youth and encourages states to increase the age of emancipation to 21 so that young people have continued access to critical services as they transition into adulthood. Jimmy helped advocate for the successful passage of legislation raising the emancipation age in California, Tennessee, and his home state of North Carolina. “So many Americans know about foster care but aren’t able to comprehend the struggles that these children

■ MEDITATION
The Persevering Faith Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org When we think about the essentials of our faith, such as boldness, confidence, and trust, one of the most important aspects of faith is perseverance. In Rev. Trent Tankin the midst of a world that has grown so evil, and far away from God, we must endure through life’s struggles as followers of Jesus Christ. Life is certainly not easy, especially for one who is attempting to live for God. Our faith must be strong enough to keep on going even during life’s most difficult days. Our faith must persevere. In John 11, Jesus is faced with the certain death of a dear friend, Lazarus. When Jesus gets word that Lazarus needs Him, He waits two days before He goes, and Lazarus dies. Jesus finally goes to the home of Lazarus, and his sisters
Martha and Mary. When He arrives, Martha chides Jesus for not coming. Jesus reminds her that Lazarus can live again. Jesus next encounters Mary, who is weeping at the loss of her brother. Jesus being so moved by the loss and the grief of His friends, begins to cry too. Many in the town commented that Jesus could heal the blind, yet He could not save His friend. Even Martha said it was too late, as Lazarus had been dead four days by this time. Jesus goes to the tomb and commands them to remove the stone covering the door. When they do, Jesus calls Lazarus forth. He walks out of the tomb alive! To the disciples, Martha and Mary, and the people gathered, it seemed Jesus did not care. It seemed He was not that concerned with His friends. It seemed He was too late. Perhaps you are in the midst of the trials of life, and you think Jesus has forgot about you. Maybe it seems Jesus is just too late to help. It is important for us to always remember that just because Jesus does not answer when we think it is best, or not in the way we seek, that it does not mean
He no longer cares. Jesus loves His people. His heart broke that day as He was faced with the death of a friend, and the grief expressed by the family and friends. When the time was right, Jesus answered in a mighty way. Jesus knew the best time, when His will was to be accomplished. Jesus wanted those gathered that day to believe, and to see God glorified. This is why He waited. He set out to raise Lazarus from the dead. What seemed so late to everyone, was right on time for Jesus. Often, we are driven by time, yet Jesus is not constrained by time. Jesus knows when to answer. This is hard for us sometimes, as we are anxious for God to act, yet we must persevere. Jesus told Martha that day, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God” (John 11:40, NKJV). Today, in your walk of faith, may you always trust, believe, and persevere. When the time is right, Jesus will work in a mighty way!

June Gardening Tips By Judy Ford, Master Gardener The start of June, we welcome the times of Summer in our garden of flowers and vegetables. We must keep our gardens watered regularly and keep an eye out for insects and disease problems. Below are gardening tips to help your garden grow through the month of June. Time to plant: Sow seeds of beans, corn, brussel sprouts, cucumbers and squash. Plant seedlings of melons, peppers, pumpkins and slips for sweet potatoes. Plant fall blooming perennials. Time to remove dead flowers from bedding plants to get more flowering. Removing the dead flowers or “deadheading” prevents the plants from not flowering and going to seed before summer is over. Flower containers need to be watered frequently and allow water to

and don’t forget to fertilize your tomato plants too. Enjoy the beauty and bounty of Summer!

Beware of fakes while shopping online An in-depth investigative study by Better Business Bureau (BBB) finds that fraudulent consumer goods are ubiquitous, difficult to tell apart from the legitimate products they are counterfeiting, and stem from a large network of organized criminals and credit card processing mechanisms that are willing to support them. Research shows that eight in 10 Americans shop online, and the dominance of online retail means nearly anything can be bought online, sometimes at discounts that seem too good to be true. However, nearly anything available online can be counterfeited, and research also shows that one in four people have bought something online that turned out to be counterfeit. The investigative study – “Fakes Are Not Fashionable: A BBB Study of the Epidemic of Counterfeit Goods Sold Online” – looks at the prevalence of counterfeit consumer goods and the criminal systems that circulate them. It digs into the scope of the problem, who is behind it, the multi-pronged fight to stop it and the steps consumers can take to avoid it. To read the report, visit https://www.bbb.org and search for the article by name. The risk of encountering counterfeit goods can affect any online shopper. These goods range from brand-name sunglasses and handbags to golf clubs and consumer electronics, as well as many other kinds of products. BBB’s report finds that any shippable item with a reputation for quality and sizable markup is a candidate for counterfeiting. While counterfeit goods often are reputed to be deeply discounted counterfeit sellers regularly use selling prices that are close to the price of the real product, so the prices offered are no longer a signal that the product is counterfeit.
The cost of counterfeiting affects not only consumers who lose money by receiving products not as advertised, but also the broader U.S. economy. BBB’s report finds that counterfeiting and intellectual property piracy cost the U.S. economy $200$250 billion and 750,000 jobs annually. In the last three years, BBB has received more than 2,000 complaints and more than 500 Scam Tracker reports from people who have shopped for goods online and received counterfeits instead of what they ordered. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) processed 2,249 complaints about counterfeit goods (including pirated goods) in 2018, while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) processed 552 complaints representing a total financial loss of more than $752,000. Many victims do not file complaints, making it difficult to get a firm grasp on how often people pay for goods that are counterfeit or not as advertised. One Charlotte man told BBB he and his wife each ordered a popular brand of shoes from a company that assured the couple their shoes were legitimate. After waiting more than 15 days, the couple received one pair of shoes, that were in fact fake. The second pair of shoes never arrived, even after the business sent the couple a FedEx shipping number. After reaching out to the company numerous times and asking for a refund, the company finally agreed to send them their money back within 7-15 business days. However, the couple never received the funds. According to BBB’s report, 88% of counterfeit goods come from China and Hong Kong, with their smuggling and their online sale via fraudulent websites widely thought

to be coordinated by international organized crime groups. Customs agents seized $1.2 billion in counterfeit shipments in fiscal 2017, the most current year for which data is available; however, shipping and smuggling methods vary widely, creating major headaches for customs officials. Inasmuch as counterfeit goods are almost always paid for with a credit card, the fraudulent websites that process these sales make extensive use of the credit card and banking system, with a small number of Chinese banks and an extensive network of intermediary payment processors responsible for the vast majority of processing for these purchases. Active efforts are being made to fight the flood of counterfeit goods. BBB attempts to identify and report on bogus businesses, especially if they claim to be in the U.S. and Canada. Trademark holders also do a great deal of work and spend a considerable amount of money trying to fight counterfeits. This is a major priority for customs officials and law enforcement as well; U.S. Customs and Border Protection has increased its seizures of counterfeit goods by 125% over the last five years, and the White House recently issued an executive order directing government agencies that work with brands to examine counterfeiting and make it an enforcement priority. if you believe you have unwittingly purchased counterfeit goods, ask for a refund. Victims who don’t receive anything when buying online with their credit card, or who receive goods that are counterfeit or not as described, should call the customer service number on the back of their card and request a refund. The report goes into detail about the process of obtaining a refund and the remedies available to victims.

KMHS soccer seniors go undefeated in conference for four years in a row
Lady Mountaineer senior Raegan Buchanan, who will be going off to play college soccer next season, was the Big South 3A Conference Defensive Player of the Year. playoff games this year with a concussion that she suffered in the last regular season home game against Cramer,” he added, “We would have had her back if we had made it to the next round of the playoffs. “She would have been a four-year starter if she hadn’t been injured.” “Georgia Moss’s strength was that she is very versatile,” Price noted. “She played a lot of positions over a four-year period, sometimes in the same game. “She was a hard worker. She plays a very good diagonal ball all over the field. She will be going to USCAiken to play soccer.” “Raegan Buchanan was a four-year starter on defense,” he noted. “She played the first three as a defender. She was very strong. She was a very good center back. This year we moved her to play some holding defense middle for us. She had a great senior year. This was by far her best season. She very rarely came off the field. She was a really hard worker in the off-season and weight room.” Buchanan was this year’s Big South Defensive Player of the Year and plans to continue her soccer career in college. Baylee Marr was KM’s goal keeper, and a very good one. “She is going to Converse College to play soccer,” Coach Price noted. “She was a three-year starter. Her freshman year a senior started in front of her but she’s been the starter the past three years.” Olivia Martin was a four-year defender, Price
said. “She is another strong defender on the back line,” he noted. “She won a lot of fifty-fifty balls and kept the ball in play for us.” Nicola Bridges was another good defender. “She was a very fast center back,” Price noted. “She was a starter her ninth and tenth grade years and ran track her junior year. She came back as a senior so she was a three-year starter.” Hannah Clark, KM’s all-time leading basketball scorer, came out for soccer this spring. “She gave us a lot of good minutes, and got to score a couple of goals,” Price noted. “For somebody that hadn’t played, just from her basketball knowledge she knew what to do. She was very fast.” Ma-Kayla Smith played two years on varsity after playing JVs her freshman and sophomore years. “She gave us a lot of minutes off the bench,” Price said. “She was really fast and strong.” The nine other team members who will be returning next season are sophomores Katherine Martin, Emma Goff, Rece Guy, Emma Herndon, and Kennedy Barnes; juniors Carly Johnson and Summer Campbell, and freshmen Cheyanne Ernst and Sage Wright. Price is looking for all of them to have good seasons, and will be looking to some players to come up from JVs to round out the team. “These younger girls understand the system,” he said. “We’re really looking forward to Johnson and
Campbell to step into senior leadership roles next year. It really helps that they have been with the program for three years. They know what to expect.” Price has been the soccer coach for eight years and the program has grown tremendously under his leadership. His first year, 2012, the team went just 5-7 in the conference and 6-11 overall and in ’13 the Lady Mountaineers improved to 6-5-1 in the conference and 10-12-1 overall. Since that time they have not had a losing season and their overall record under Price is 119-45-4. In the past four years their overall record is 75-14-2. Price gives a lot of credit to his assistant coaches Ramey Kerns Bridges and Amber Smith, and JV coach Emily Rice. “Ramey was my assistant for three or four years,” he said. “She had to take a break this year because she was expecting. Amber Smith took over Ramey’s role this year. They both have been helping me for four or five years. Both coached the girls in middle school so they’ve been with this senior class for six years.” Price coached his daughter Makayla for three years, and his son Silas will be a senior player in the fall. “I’ve been lucky to coach both of them,” he noted. Despite having a lot of holes to fill, Price is looking forward to next season. “A lot of people will be moving around into new roles so that will take a bit of extra time,” he said. “A

Kings Mountain High has had a lot of memorable seasons during its almost 100-year history, winning championships in every sport and multiple championships in many. But, perhaps no team in school history accomplished what the KMHS women’s soccer team did over the past four seasons. From 2016 through the recently-completed 2019 season, the Lady Mountaineers not only won four consecutive championships – two in the SMAC and two in the Big South – but did it with undefeated conference records. The senior members of the 2019 team who played varsity for all four of their high school years left the field after the recent NCHSAA state playoff loss to Watauga disappointed, but will long be remembered for their 59-0-1 record against conference opponents. It all started in ’16 with a perfect 16-0 record in the SMAC, followed by another 16-0 mark and SMAC championship in ’17. The team was assigned to the Big South in 2018 and they finished 13-0-1, and followed that up this past season with a 14-0 record. “Most of this group of seniors came in as freshmen,” noted Coach Erik Price. “They have been playing together for a long time. They knew each other. They had a lot of talent in their class, and along with the other players was just a special group. “One thing about these girls is that they were very coachable,” he added. “Anything we asked them to do they were all in. They would listen and ask questions, and did exactly what they needed to do. When you’d draw up a play they would execute it.” The seniors who were a part of this year’s championship – and most all four years - included Lindsey Deaver, Georgia Moss, Reagan Buchanan, Sarah Drennan, Baylee Marr, Olivia Martin, Nicola Bridges, Hannah Clark and Ma-Kayla Smith. Coach Price had nothing but praise for all of them, not just as soccer players but as good students and good people. “Sarah Drennan was a four-year starter,” he said. “She was an outstanding center mid. She was a hard worker who is very coachable. She set up a lot of what we did. Finding the forward was her biggest asset. She scored a bunch of goals this year.” “Lindsey Deaver had a really good season this year, and she had a great career,” Price noted. “She scored over a hundred goals during her career even though she missed a season with an injury. Her total career was definitely outstanding. She had a great work ethic and could put the ball in the back of the net with the left foot, right foot or with her head. “She missed the last regular season game and both

Outstanding STEM teachers in NC Receive Career Grants Burroughs Wellcome Fund Rewards Outstanding STEM Teachers in North Carolina RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – This spring, Burroughs Wellcome Fund Program Officer Alfred Mays personally informed the 2019 recipients of the Fund’s Career Award for Science and Mathematics Teachers, which recognizes five outstanding STEM classroom teachers in North Carolina public schools. Among this year’s recipients is Beverly Owens, an 8th grade science teacher at Kings Mountain Middle School. “Witnessing the reaction of the teachers and their students is something I’ll never forget,” said Mays. “This award recognizes the excellence of an individual teacher, and will impact the entire school and school district.” The Career Award for Science and Mathematics Teachers was created in 2009 to provide outstanding STEM teachers in NC with professional development, equipment and supplies, and salary support. “Teachers are in a unique position to make a difference in a child’s life,” said Fund President Dr. John Burris. “We awarded individuals who have an infectious enthusiasm for the STEM subjects and teach with empathy and skill.” In the decade since the creation of the Career Awards for Science and Mathematics Teachers, the Fund has recognized 33 N.C. teachers for an

what inspired her to write this grant. “Field experiences are so important to understanding ongoing and current scientific research. It is because I know what a tremendous impact teacher-scientist research experiences can have on teachers, and their students, that I wanted to be able to provide hands-on field opportunities for my colleagues at Kings Mountain Middle School, and middle school science teachers across Cleveland County,” Owens says. Mrs. Owens is a product of Cleveland County Schools, and graduated from Cleveland Community College and Gardner-Webb University. She resides in Cleveland County with her husband, Scott Owens, and their daughter, Emma.

Never let anyone tell you that one person can’t make a difference. Your voice and actions in the service of persons may encourage others to do what they know is the right thing, but are a bit fearful of looking different.”

Gardner-Webb University recently honored undergraduate students for academic excellence and outstanding service and leadership. Winners of these awards exemplify the University’s core values of faith, service and leadership in their classrooms and communities. In recognition of the award presentation, each student may choose one book for purchase by Gardner-Webb’s Dover Memorial Library. The book will be inscribed with the student’s name and the date of the award presentation. The following students from Cleveland County, N.C., were honored: Boiling Springs • Austin Lee Childress, a senior, was given the Religious Studies Service Award, a grant presented annually by the Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy. The award recognizes academic excellence and participation in campus leadership positions, exemplary Christian character and lifestyle, commitment to and promise in the field of Christian ministry, and leadership in ministry and mission opportunities. The Religious Studies Service Award requires that qualifying students apply for the award. Childress also had the honor of presenting his research, “What the Theology of Hebrews Reveals About Authorship,” at the Gardner-Webb Life of the Scholar Multidisciplinary Conference. Casar • Joy Smith, a senior, received the Photography Award from the Department of Communication and New Media for her outstanding work in photography or photojournalism. She also had the honor of presenting a collaborative project with two other students at the Southern Regional Honors Council Conference in Memphis, Tenn. The topic was “Big Sweep: An Environmental Conservation Effort.” Kings Mountain • Dylan Graham, a chemistry major, received the Chemistry Service Award for his diligent and excellent work as a labora-

Selection of each recipient is based on academic, professional and personal excellence during the time spent at GWU. Hansen recently passed the board of certification exam, which is an important accomplishment in becoming a certified athletic trainer. She also had the honor of presenting her research, “Regional Enteritis,” at the GWU Life of the Scholar Multidisciplinary Conference. • Sydney Hardin, a senior music education major, had the honor of presenting her research, “Hildegard von Bingen: Transcending a Woman’s Status in Medieval Europe,” at the GWU Life of the Scholar Multidisciplinary Conference and at the Alpha Chi Honor Society’s National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Gardner–Webb University hosted Spring Commencement on Saturday, May 11, in the Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center. More than 500 graduates were honored during two separate ceremonies. Green ribbons adorned the academic regalia of graduates and faculty, as well as the lapels of others in attendance. “The green ribbons are being worn as an expression of solidarity with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is also holding its commencement ceremonies today,” Dr. Ben Leslie, GWU interim president announced during his opening remarks. “We salute the students, faculty and staff of that great institution for their resilience and courage as they persevere through this difficult time.”
Most Outstanding Male Graduate medal was presented to Damian Chance Hutchins, of Cherryville, N.C., who earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a biomedical sciences concentration. Michaela Elizabeth Bissinger, of Fletcher, N.C., who received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, was awarded the Most Outstanding Female Graduate medal. Jada Lea Aldridge, of Maiden, N.C., Callista Jane Eckert, of Newnan, Ga., Emily Olivia Nordberg,, of Woodbridge, Va., Hannah Elizabeth Roberts, of Summerfield, N.C., and Amy Lois Turlington, of Mills River, N.C., received the Senior Scholastic Award. These five students completed their academic careers with a perfect 4.0 GPA. The Degree Completion Program Scholastic Award was presented to Shelly Ann Lawrence, of Thurmond, N.C., who received a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. A special presentation was made during the program in memory of Jalin Terrill Lawson, who was a junior at GWU at the time of his tragic accident in 2017. He would have been walking with the class of 2019 to receive his diploma. Dr. Bruce Boyles, interim associate provost for Professional and Graduate Studies, made the presentation. “A criminal justice major with an interest in counterterrorism and a member of our track and field team, Mr. Lawson was active in both campus and community life,” Boyles stated. “We celebrate the memory and legacy of Jalin Terrell Lawson, whose presence and spirit is with us on this special day and forevermore.” Dr. Gerald Keown, associate dean of the School of Divinity and professor of Old Testament Interpretation, delivered the commencement message for both ceremonies.

GWU From Page 4B who earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice, offered the invocation. Janice Daynette Snead, of New Bern, N.C., who received a Doctor of Ministry, provided the scripture reading. During the celebration, a degree was awarded posthumously to Latoya Bridgers Gantt. The 38-year-old was nearing the completion of her doctoral coursework when she tragically passed away in the fall of 2018. “It was Ms. Gantt’s hope and the assumption of her teachers that she would be joining her classmates today to receive her doctoral degree,” Boyles affirmed. “So today, we cel-
ebrate the memory and the accomplishments of Latoya Bridgers Gantt, as we confer on her the title of Honorary Doctor of Education, approved and recommended by the unanimous vote of the faculty of the School of Education, the general faculty and bestowed by the president. And thus, we celebrate her memory and her legacy, even as we know that her presence is with us on this special day.” Located in the North Carolina foothills, Gardner-Webb University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university, Gardner-Webb emphasizes a strong student-centered experience and rigorous academics to prepare students to become effective leaders within the global community.
