Belmont Unity Day Service celebrates twenty-eight years By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Monday, January 21, 2019 marked the twentyeighth time that a Unity Day event honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been held in Belmont. This year’s evening, like those in the past, proved to be an occasion when a wide variety of folks came together in peace and oneness. First Foursquare Church hosted the celebration. Rev. Kenneth Alexan-
der from Mt. Moriah Baptist Church expressed the event theme. “Dr. King strived for unity and preached love in all nations, people, and religions,” he said. “Unity is not just here tonight, but wherever we are. This is not just an African-American day, it’s a day for all people.” Guest speaker at Unity Day was Rev. Mark Andrews, former pastor at Belmont First United Methodist Church. See UNITY, Page 2

31st Annual Belmont Sports Hall of Fame Banquet held By Stan Cromlish The 31st Annual Belmont Sports Hall of Fame Banquet was held on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, in the Family Life Center of Park Street United Methodist Church. Longrunning sponsor, McKenney Family Dealerships, made this year’s induction ceremony and evening of remembrance possible. The patrons arrived early to socialize and renew old acquaintances. Many people took time to look at the photographs and memorabilia that represented this year’s inductees. Joe Lawing, the pastor of Unity Baptist Church, once
again took the microphone to MC this year’s banquet. Since 2012, Joe’s wit and wisdom have been welcome. He kept the festivities on track and for the first time in the history of the banquet, introduced each of the inductees. Before the evening’s ceremony proceeded, Joe welcomed all the visiting local and state dignitaries including the Mayor of Belmont, City Council members, Gaston County Commissioners, Gaston County Schools Superintendent, Jeff Booker, District Attorney, Locke Bell, and all local middle school, high school, See SPORTS, Page 7

There’s an old saying “the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man”, but that adage could also apply to a nine-year-old girl- Catawba Heights Elementary student Holly Banks. Holly may be small in size, but when she gets on her horse named Merlin and grabs the reins, she might as well be six-feet-tall. Holly, you see, is a barrel racer and Merlin is her magnificent steed of choice in the racing ring. For those of you who aren’t familiar with barrel racing, it’s basically a human being riding a nimble and quick horse around barrels in an enclosed arena. The idea is to see who can complete the course in the least amount of time. Holly’s first competition was at Price’s Arena near Cherryville on Feb. 3, 2018. “I was kinda nervous at first,” she said. “But I did good. My favorite part is when we run out of the start-
Nine-year-old Holly Banks of Mt. Holly has fun racing her horse Merlin, but the activity also has other benefits including helping her in school. Photo by Alan Hodge ing gate.” Sometimes, riders can take a tumble. “I fell off once but it didn’t hurt,” said Holly. “I got right back on.” In addition to Price’s, Holly has also raced at a
number of other tracks including Double H in Kings Mtn. and Running Horse Arena on Upper Spencer Mtn. Rd.. She’s even won prize money. OK, so it’s only been around fifty bucks total over the past few months, but
the satisfaction she gets from competing is priceless. “I have a lot of fun racing,” she said. Kat Sturgill keeps Merlin, who was a gift from Holly’s grandmother Pat Banks, at See HOLLY BANKS, Page 8

UNITY From Page 1 “Today we celebrate unity,” said Andrews. “But we can’t have unity without mercy. We can find unity in the messages of Jesus and Dr. King in that by showing mercy we shall overcome.” Andrews then led the audience in a verse of “We Shall Overcome”. Rev. Charles Reid from Hood Memorial AME Zion Church also delivered a brief address. He described Dr. King as a “tough, tenacious, yet humble” man. Other folks who spoke at the event included Rev. Kenneth Ford, Rev. Angela Pleasants, and Belmont mayor Charles Martin. The Unity Day event also saw two Humanitarian Awards presented to deserving recipients who have made significant contributions to the local community. This year’s award winners were Charlie Richards and William Henry Hannon. Richards is the wellknown owner of Richards Towing and auto repair ga-
rage in Belmont. He has been a fixture in the Belmont community for over 40 years doing business on the corner of Main and Central Avenue. Many may remember that his gas station was one of the last in Belmont to offer full service, a windshield wash, a tank of gas and a smile. Now functioning solely as a repair shop, it is not unusual to see customers fully engaged with the latest hot topic. In the more challenging times in the city of Belmont, Charlie Richards has always welcomed all people to his business establishment. Minor repairs are often settled with a handshake. More like family, he knows each by name. Hannon is a South Point High grad who was that school’s first African-American football quarterback as well as an outstanding basketball player. He also taught at South Point and was the basketball and track coach there. He is a graduate of Duke University. He was inducted into the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. He is a talented musician as well and performs at funeral services for the African-American community where his talent is a blessing.

Coach Phil Tate announcing the inductees. day night at the White House to eating fish and chicken in Belmont on Tuesday night. Tanner told an attendee that he really enjoyed the visit to the White House and meeting President Trump who seemed to be just a regular guy. The banquet opened with the National Anthem sung by Miss Bailey Grigg. Reverend Mike Phillips gave the invocation prior to dinner which was served by the men and women of Park Street United Methodist Church. The meal was provided once again by Catfish Cove. The most sought-after part of the meal seems to be the banana pudding because any leftover bowls do not last long. Hall of Famer Phil Tate introduced the evening’s keynote speaker, the 50th Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball Team, Mike Shildt. Shildt spoke about growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and the lessons he learned while playing for Coach Tate in American Legion baseball. During one American Legion season, Coach Tate benched Shildt for not listening and being a willing team player. It was one lesson that stuck with Shildt during his coaching and managerial progression. Shildt also talked about being a big-league manager and what it takes to stay ahead of the competition. The big lesson he imparts to all his players is accountability
which he said makes the men being inducted so special. In order to be great, one must be accountable to himself and his teammates. Joe Lawing introduced the first inductee of the evening, Steve Barkley. Steve’s accomplishments included being a two-time All-Southwestern Conference baseball player and a beloved teacher and coach in Gaston County. Steve got emotional as he talked about all of his coaches and teammates he played with from little league through his church softball days. With tears in his eyes, he thanked his daughters and family in attendance for their support over the years. Steve’s emotional acceptance speech was followed by the posthumous induction of Dr. Wade Hampton Breeland. Dr. Wade Hampton Breeland was a beloved dentist and supporter of Belmont High School athletics. In his introduction, Joe Lawing took time to recognize all of the Breeland Award winners in attendance. Since 1947, the Breeland Award is annually given to the most outstanding South Point High School football player. His daughter, Dr. Nona Breeland, accepted the award on behalf of the entire Breeland family. Nona said after the event, “It was so exciting to have three generations of our family present to experience the banquet and be a part of re-

He spoke of being deployed with the United States Navy to the Middle East and Russia. His father continuously shipped bags of baseballs to him so he could throw with shipmates to stay in shape with the hopes of being able to follow his dream of pitching in the big leagues after his discharge from the Navy. The St. Louis Cardinals had drafted him prior to his Naval Service and kept a spot open for him once his service was completed. Coach Shildt was happy to tell him after two years of hard work that he had fulfilled his dream of pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals major league baseball team. This year’s final inductee, Koren Robinson, the kid who ran all over the football fields of Belmont and McAdenville growing up, was recognized for his outstanding achievements on the football field. Koren was selected ninth in the first round of the 2001 NFL draft which
made him the highest selection ever from Gaston County. During his acceptance speech, he thanked all of his teammates and coaches who helped him along the way. He ended his speech after thanking his family by talking about outlasting your old self in order to make way for new dreams. The smiles and tears once again showed how special induction in the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame is for each and every inductee. At the end of the evening, Joe Lawing thanked everyone who had made this evening possible and congratulated Steve Barkley, Dr. Breeland’s family, Mitch Harris, and Koren Robinson before dismissing everyone to enjoy the company of each of these champions. Indeed, this was an evening that honored Belmont Sport’s best and Belmont stood front and center as a community that honors all its heroes. As the 31st Annual banquet closed, and the curtain came down, the inductees stood proudly with their lifelong supporters, and the images shared and remembered this evening will be etched forever in their memory banks of life.

HOLLY BANKS From Page 1 her WildKat Ranch on Stanley-Spencer Mtn. Rd. “I’m really proud of Holly,” Sturgill said. “She does a great job when
she’s racing.” Holly’s mom, Christa Poole agreed. “She’s really good at it,” said Poole.
But there’s more to Holly’s story than having fun on horseback. “She has ADHD and the racing helps her focus,”
said Poole. Just being around Holly, it’s obvious she’s got a superabundance of energy. At Wildkat Ranch she throws herself full tilt into raking hay, feeding and grooming the horses,
chasing guinea hens, and anything else that needs doing. “Working on the ranch helps her burn off energy,” Poole said. “It also helps Holly in school by learning to stay on task.”
Holly says at this point she’s not looking at a barrel racing career, even though her father and grandfather raced cars and boats. “I just want to have fun,” she said.

Local seamstress teams with Textile Technology Center The Textile Technology Center at Gaston College in Belmont works with clients and partners in the textile industry on product development, sample production, and laboratory testing, provide cutting edge solutions to fiber producers, textile and apparel manufacturers, and retailers with highly specialized needs. As a subcontractor on a military contract for Materials Modification, Inc., in Fairfax, Va., the Center was charged with developing the next generation of flame retardant army combat uniforms. “We conducted many flame tests during the product development of the uniforms,” said Sam Buff, Director of the Textile Technology Center. “Eventually we needed the help of someone to take the fabric and turn it into an actual uniform for further flame retardant testing in the Army’s research lab.” That’s where Linda Thompson of Bessemer City stepped in. As Buff said, “Finding someone to hem a pair of pants or sew on a few buttons is easy, but finding someone to create a very complicated uniform without patterns was extremely difficult.” After a frustrating and unsuccessful
search, Buff was about to give up when Sandy Hamilton, the Administrative Assistant to the Dean of the College’s Kimbrell Campus and the Textile Technology Center, suggested that he contact Sew Much Fun, an Arts and Crafts retail store in Lowell, N.C. The only person they could direct Buff to was Thompson, who had posted her business card at the store. Thompson started sewing for her own enjoyment when she was 16 years old. Her very first project was a housecoat that she made by hand. She recently decided to offer her talents to the public and was excited to hear from Buff and to tackle the uniform project. She was given an assembled uniform to work from, and she reversed engineered its components to create patterns to use with the test fabric. It took her three days to develop the patterns and five or six hours each to stitch the pants and top that made up the uniform. Each piece required up to six layers and three to four yards of cloth. She made 12 complete uniforms in total, using different versions of the treated fabric. Buff and his client were more than pleased with the
uniform samples Thompson produced. “I cannot say enough about how talented Linda is,” he said. “She is a fantastic tailor and we could not have completed this very complicated project without her.” As for Thompson, she was proud to have been able to work on the project. “Knowing that these uniforms are intended to be worn by members of our armed forces is very gratifying,” she said. “It feels good to do something for the cause.” The Textile Technology Center, located on the Kimbrell Campus of Gaston College in Belmont, celebrated its 75th anniversary in November 2018. Since its inception, it has played a significant role in helping the industry remain competitive, manufacture quality products, and maintain a well-trained workforce. On the Center’s 75th anniversary and beyond, Gaston College and the Textile Technology Center remain committed to fulfilling the mission to serve the resurgent and vibrant textile industry in North Carolina with modern and advanced solutions and continued excellence.
Meditations Everyone is a creation of God A church saw the changing demographics in its neighborhood. The leaders met to decide the best way to reach out to their changing community. They decided to begin a Wednesday night program for children. After several months the program grew with numerous children from the neighborhood attending. After some time, the old guard, protector of everything “the way it used to be” began to grumble. They started complaining about the children not keeping their church as it should be. Some of the leaders of the program knew the real issue and addressed the situation. The real concern was too many of these kids from a different culture started attending. A wise friend said these words that led me to reflect, “We don’t always know how to get diversity, and when we do our expectations are sometimes different.” When I step outside my office door I enjoy conversations with the homeless; I chat with agnostics, atheist, and ex-convicts. I speak into their life encouragement and their divine purpose. They are different races, beliefs, background, and lifestyles. But, what I see is a beautiful creation of God with worth and purpose. I don’t try to change them to be like me. Sometimes we want something only when it does not make us uncomfortable. For so long we wanted assimilation, not diversity. Let others come as long as the group(s) can absorb my own culture. When this happens, we don’t have diversity. What keeps us fearful from others who are different? We need to search our hearts to
determine why I am fearful and uncomfortable. When Peter was on his rooftop praying, he received a vi- Rev. Angela Pleasants sion from the Lord. District The vision consisted Superintendent of all kinds of ani- of Catawba Valley mals. Peter was told Methodist Churches to eat. Peter replied, “I cannot eat what is unclean.” The voice responded to Peter, “What God has made clean do not call unclean.” Acts 10:15 NLT. Later, Peter goes to the house of Cornelius, a Gentile, and exclaims, “God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.” God breaks all barriers that keep us divided. So why do we still see barriers of division? It is our fear that serves as that dividing wall. And, maybe it is the discomfort of our inner self. Maybe, it is not being comfortable in your own skin. “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:27-28 ESV. Our differences are not what defines us. It is being a child of God that defines us. It is when we stop looking at someone as “the other” and begin to see them as sister and brother that we can embrace people as they are instead of who we think they should be.
Linda Thompson, a local seamstress and Sam Buff, Director of the Textile Technology Center of Gaston College show off two uniforms designed to be worn by members of our armed forces. Thompson partnered with the Textile Technology Center to design a complicated military uniform without any patterns. Her business, Sew Much Fun Arts and Crafts is a retail store in Lowell.

Montcross Chamber annual banquet is February 5th The Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce will present several 2018 awards during the 59th Annual Celebration, sponsored by CaroMont Health, on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019, in the Grand Hall of the Mount Holly Municipal Complex. The following recipients will be recognized. Business Of Year: A business member of the Montcross Area Chamber which has exhibited an extraordinary degree of service to the Chamber and/or to the community. This year’s recipient is Carolinas Rehabilitation located in Mount Holly. This facility has served thousands of patients suffering life altering injuries and disease in the past 11 years. Thousands more have been cared for through ambulatory services such as the pain clinic, sleep center and outpatient sports medicine program. In addition to serving patients, Carolinas Rehabilitation - Mount Holly is a teaching hospital, training the next generation of physicians, therapists and nurses in the Montcross area. The hospital, and its parent organization Atrium Health, employ a workforce of almost 2,100 living in Gaston County. Of these, over 600 are nurses, 39 are physicians and 62 are advanced care practitioners. Carolinas Rehabilitation – Mount Holly has supported the Montcross Area Chamber since John Roberts, the first hospital administrator, was selected to serve on the Chamber Board of Directors in 2007. Since that time, executives representing the hospital continuously have served on the board to help pro-
mote business development and economic growth in the Montcross community and greater Gaston County region. Hospital Administrator Vice President Peter Cassidy was on the Chamber Board 2011-2013. He and Director of Community Engagement and Corporate Responsibility Emily Wilson are the primary advocates for bringing Atrium Health support to the community. Some of the 2018 community programs supported include: Montcross Area Chamber programs- Annual Dinner, Amazing Race, Get Ready Gaston, Golf Tournament, and Parade.

A nice crowd of folks joined Belmont McDonald’s owner/operator Jeff Stanton last Friday as he gave media and community leaders a first look at his restaurant with state-of-the-art technology, re-imagined design, and innovative service strategies. The Belmont McDonald’s at 505 N. Main Street is among the 66 percent of Charlotte-area McDonald’s that have been transformed over the past year to serve customers in new and innovative ways – part of a $214 million investment by McDonald’s and its franchisees to modernize 430 restaurants throughout North Carolina. McDonald’s is evolving how guests order, what they order, how they pay and how they’re served.

holders, partners, and other volunteers, the GGDC was instrumental in developing a strategy and process that has culminated into TechWorks of Gaston County. This innovative county-wide initiative incorporates business incubator services, co-work space, tech talent development programs and high-speed broadband expansion efforts in a refurbished warehouse space in Belmont. Originally sponsored by the GGDC, TechWorks is now directed and run by a non-profit, Gaston Innovation Group, Inc. 2019 Gaston County Schools Bond Campaign: GGDC played an active role in the fundraising campaign that supported the efforts of the 2018 School Bond Committee and actively supported the volunteer leadership of the campaign. The voters of Gaston County overwhelmingly approved the $250 million school bond proposal and a quarter-cent sales tax increase to help pay for the bonds. Through innovative and collaborative approaches across these projects and others, the GGDC has exemplified leadership that is “entrepreneurial, progressive, innovative and collaborative” and is strongly deserving of the Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce’s EPIC Award. Harley B. Gaston, Jr. Public Service Award: An individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the community through involvement, service, or leadership to improve the quality of life for citizens of the Montcross Area in eastern Gaston County. When Cramer Mountain Country Club was languishing in foreclosure, homeowners were worrying about declining property values and weeds were overtaking the fairways and tennis courts, residents of the community Don Doctor and his wife Mary conceived a plan to save one of Gaston County’s major assets. Later they would describe that decision, which began with a $700,000 price tag and ran into the millions, not as a financial investment but as a gift back to the community. “It’s a God thing,” Mary Doctor said. For his success in reviving Cramer Mountain Club as a major economic asset in Gaston County and many other contributions through the Doctor Foundation, Don Doctor has been selected to receive the Montcross Area Chamber’s Public Service Award, named for a Chamber founder, long-time judge and public servant the late Harley B. Gaston, Jr. It was 2013
when the Doctors purchased the club and its assets out of foreclosure, including the golf course, 35,000-squarefoot clubhouse, pool complex and tennis courts. A new Cramer Mountain Club was formed with Don Doctor as president of the board, and a campaign was launched to enlist Cramer Mountain property owners as equity partners. The Doctor plan required a minimum of 200 investors. Within 90 days, 203 investors were on board. The property was purchased and the work of restoring Cramer Mountain Club to its former glory was ready to begin. In the spring of 2015, the Montcross Area Chamber Golf Tournament was the first to be played on the restored and upgraded course. There’s also a new swimming pool, tennis courts and restaurant. One of the most dramatic changes was converting the upper level of the massive clubhouse building, which had hosted thousands of banquets and wedding receptions, into corporate office suites. All of the suites have been purchased and occupied by businesses, several of which are owned by Cramer Mountain residents. Saving Cramer Mountain Club was a major contribution to the economy and quality of life in the Town of Cramerton, in the South Point Township and in all of Gaston County. And the work was spearheaded by a man who has little time for golf himself. Don Doctor could live anywhere, because his vast business interests are in multiple states and countries. He has created over a billion dollars in enterprise value as CEO of information technology startups, turnarounds and buyouts. As executive chairman of Systems Maintenance Services, the company evolved from a regional business with 100 employees to more than 2,000 in the United States, Canada and Asia. He also served as CEO and Executive Chairman of the Board of CompuCom, with more than 11,500 associates doing business in more than 100 countries. He has held leadership positions in at least a half-dozen other corporations and is co-founder of Cramer Mountain Growth Partners, which makes strategic investments in select technology companies. Originally from Indiana, the Doctors moved to North Carolina in 1986. Through the Doctor Family Foundation, they are major supporters of the arts and many other worthy causes in Gaston County.

Tri-County Animal Rescue:
Pets of the Week Tri-County Animal Rescue Pet of the Week is this 4-year-old Dachshund mix named Trevor. He weighs about 13 pounds. Trevor plays well with other dogs, snuggles under the blankets, and has the typical Dachshund stubborn streak. He has short hair so a bath and brushing will keep him looking fresh all the time. Trevor has been neutered, is current on vaccines and microchipped. He will be looking for you this weekend! Dachshunds are wonderful dogs and make terrific companions, but they are not for everyone. As with all dog breeds, individual dogs have their own personalities, but there some traits that are very common throughout the breed. Many have a stubborn, independent nature. Effective training is a must for all dogs, including dachshunds. Dachshunds love to burrow - they like to tunnel under bed covers and pillows. They love the company of other dachshunds, which is why you see so many dachshund pairs. They like to curl up and sleep together, with their heads on each others backs. They are usually very physically affectionate dogs - they like to snuggle and kiss and be scratched and have their bellies rubbed. Big Dog of the Week The Tri-County Animal Rescue Big Dog Pet of the Week is this beautiful Husky mix named Ralph. He is 2-years-old, good with kids, and loves both inside and outside. Ralph is a gentle soul that weighs 50 pounds. He has a beautiful chocolate coat. Ralph lived most of his first 2 years on a short chain. Now he loves long walks. Please give this sweet boy a chance to become part of your family! Ralph is neutered, current on vaccines and micro-chipped. About Tri-County Animal Rescue Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organiza-
tion serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties. We are committed to ending pet homelessness in this area and we need your continued support.

Last Friday night was a big night at Highland School of Technology. During halftime of the boys’ basketball game, the school celebrated the 10th anniversary of its first men’s championship golf team. In 2009 and 2010, Highland’s boys’ golf team won numerous awards, including the 1-A western regional championship. The honorees include Harry Caulfield, Zack Beaver, Houston McCurry, Weston McCurry, Brayden Hawkins, and Greg Bunner, who also won back-to-back individual state championships. The golf championship legacy, which is led by coach Marty Hutchins, continues at Highland. Last year, Addison Beam won the state 1-A individual title, and he was recognized with the team members who were celebrating their 10th anniversary. Way to go, Highland, for recognizing these outstanding athletes during the “Big 50 Anniversary” for Gaston County Schools. Gaston Schools photo

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town. The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade. Photo by Alan Hodge working jaws, large and colorful butterflies, and more. The lamps were created

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework. Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation. “I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.” During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society. Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends. “I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress. See LAMP page 2

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about. At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions. The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting. The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered NC Cooperative Extension master gardener Dana suggestions. Harper is a fan of backyard chickens. She’s seen with See CHICKENS page 3 one of her flock. Dana Harper photo

Four arrested at Jail-A-Thon On Saturday, three elected officials and one city employee were arrested on nefarious charges, placed in manacles, and hauled by paddywagon to the ‘Jail House' at Patriots Park during Mountaineer Days. The three elected officials arrested were Mayor Scott Neisler and Council members David Allen and Rodney Gordon. Each had to raise $200 bond within two hours. Due to rowdy behavior, Rodney Gordon had to raise additional bond money. Mayor Neisler implicated Karen Tucker who was subsequently arrested for "Impersonating the City Clerk." Tucker had to raise a $25.00 bond. All funds raised benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum's history education boxes that highlight local history in Kings Mountain schools. Sarah Lunch, Museum Director, and Curator commented,

Congratulations to Dr. Ami Parker, right, the director of school counseling for Gaston County Schools who was elected to serve a three-year term as president of the North Carolina School Counselor Association. Before becoming GCS director of school counseling, Dr. Parker was the school counselor at Highland School of Technology. She succeeds Tim Hardin, left, school counselor at Sadler Elementary, who has been serving as the association’s president. It says a lot about the school counseling program in Gaston County to have back-to-back presidents of the state association for school counselors. Gaston Schools photos
School calendar approved The Gaston County Board of Education has approved the school calendar for 2019-2020. The first day of school for students is Monday, August 26. You can also go to the GCS website to download a copy in PDF format: www.gaston.k12. nc.us/schoolcalendars. The Board of Education wants to see if the General Assembly makes any changes to the state calendar law before approving a calendar for 2020-2021. The Board wanted to go ahead and approve the 2019-2020 calendar so families can plan for the upcoming school year. See the complete calendar on page 20.
The Potter and the Clay By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
As we think about God, many images come to our mind. Sometimes we think of God as a powerful father figure, or Jesus as a caring shepherd looking for His sheep. The Bible gives us many images of God and who He is. Perhaps of all of the images of God, no better image comes Trent Rankin to mind than that of the potter working with his clay. We think of a potter sitting at his wheel forming a lump of clay into a beautiful bowl or vase. God as the Potter, the Creator, molds us as a lump of clay into a living person, breathing life into our bodies. In Jeremiah 18:1-6, God speaks of the potter and the clay to the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah prophesied to the kingdom of Judah during a time of great turmoil. Israel had been conquered by the Assyrian Empire, and now Judah faced their own destruction at the hands of the Babylonians. Judah was in deep sin and rebellion against God. God sent Jeremiah to attempt to bring them back to Him. One day God sent Jeremiah to a local potter’s house. While there Jeremiah watched the potter form the clay. The clay was marred, and not what he intended. He reshaped the clay, and formed it into something great. God wanted the people of Israel to know that although they had sinned, and were marred, He could form them into what He had intended for them to be. As we think of the potter working with the clay, we know that clay is workable, it can be made into many things. Unlike other types of earth, clay can be molded and shaped into whatever the potter desires. God can make us into what it is He created us to be. We must allow Him to work in our lives. Too often we resist God, as He attempts to work in us. Like the clay, if we allow Him to work, He can help us mature in our faith, and draw close to Him. If we fail, like Israel, He can reshape us. It is never too late to let God work in us. The potter loves his work, and is proud of the outcome. An artist is proud of what they create. Often, they sign their work, such as paintings. God, the Potter, loves His work. He cares for us. Revelation 22:4 says of God’s love for us, “His name shall be in their foreheads” (Revelation 22:4, NKJV). Imagine how life would be valued today if people not only recognized God, but also understood the great love He has for us. Just like the potter with his clay, God can make a masterpiece out of us today. Will we let Him work? He is the Potter, and we are His clay. We have been created in His image, and we bear His signature in our hearts.
