Mt. Holly council approves Fiscal Year 2017-2018 budget By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The Mt. Holly city council got together last week and tackled an eclectic blend of subjects including approval of the municipality's FY2017-2018 budget. “I am extremely glad that our City Council saw fit to adopt the budget for fiscal year 2017-2018. It’s very rewarding to see that a collaborative effort between our Governing Board and staff can lend itself to a productive byproduct, which is a budget that will achieve the objective of responsibly operating the city in the coming year. I am personally grateful to all of the people, including our citizens, that are so supportive of the very tool that helps to provide the services that are expected and needed in our city.” says Danny Jackson, City Manager. The balanced budget will keep the current property tax rate stable at 53 cents on every $100 of valuation. City employees will receive a three percent cost of living raise. The water/ sewer rates will remain the same. The overall budget is $17,255,817. The budget will allow several new positions to be added to the city staff. These include HR Tech, Accounting/Finance Tech, Garage Tech, Part-time CSI Investigator, Utilities/Engineer manager, and turning a current part-time with benefits post in Parks and Rec into full-time.
Other FY2017-2018 budget highlights include: Total General Fund $10,863,000 representing a 7 percent increase from last fiscal year's adjusted budget. Part of the new budget will be set aside in anticipation of a 24 percent increase in employee medical insurance. Last year's increase was 1.86 percent. Police capital improvement include purchase of three new SUVs, one new in-car camera video system, and three handheld radios for a total of $99,500. Fire dept. capital expenses will include new radios at $17,000, replacement air packs at $45,000, and UTV at $17,000. The budget includes an allowance of $12,000 to repair the parking lot at the Municipal Complex. Another $70,000 is slated for construction of six new offices, $28,600 for 350 refuse and 250 recycling containers, and $15,000 for a new zero turn mower, walk behind mower, and weed eaters. Parks and Rec will get $20,000 for a new truck. The total enterprise fund is $6,392,817. Another aspect of the council meeting was the introduction of three local beauty pageant winners- Miss Mt. Holly Allison Farris, Miss Mt. Holly Outstanding Teen Chloe Clary, and Carolina Princess Jasmine Mennis. The girls gave some details on their “platforms” and service projects and expressed gratitude and delight at being able to represent Mt. Holly at

Popular Belmont policeman retires By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
Cpl. Ed “Deuce” Mason, one of Belmont PD's most popular and visible officers, retired June 1 after nearly nine years on the force. During his time as a Belmont policeman, Mason worked hard to further the aim of positive community law enforcement. He was a familiar sight on the streets of Belmont greeting folks and doing his job. “Corporal Mason is an asset to the City of Belmont,” said chief Chad Hawkins. “He has been a true servant to the citizens of Belmont and I know that will continue. Everyone in this community knows and respects him. We are fortunate to keep him on as a Reserve Officer.” Mason's burly exterior belies his deeply caring personality. “I have some great memories of my time helping people as an officer,” Mason said. “ I especially liked talking to people about safety and security and how to avoid scams.” Mason was recognized several times for his service. In 2011 he was named Optimist Cpl. Ed “Deuce” Mason retires from Belmont Police Dept. Photo by Alan Hodge

Head Shrinkers, the Wild Samoans, The Tonga Kid, Rikishi and Umaga.. When Mason wasn’t doing his naval duties he was in the ring as much as possible, including time with one of Japan’s premier wrestling companies, The Social Pro Wrestling Federation. In all, Mason wrestled for 16 years. In that time he got to do what many American guys would only dream of doing:
wrestle in the square circle. Mason's career choice as a policeman came naturally. One of his ancestors was a constable in Rowan County. He also has relatives who served on the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Dept. and his stepfather retired from the Memphis PD. His brother in law is on the PD in Collierville, TN. Now that's he's retired, Mason, 55, doesn't plan to sit still for long.
“I will probably take a brief vacation then start looking for a job,” he said. A couple of things Mason has on his radar includes working for Belmont Abbey Police or traveling the East Coast recruiting people to become criminal justice students at online Waldorf College. “If you know anyone who needs a good man with a great driving record, that's me!” he said.
In October 2016 he was recognized by the City of Belmont for preventing a possible suicide on Sept. 19 when he pulled the person down from the NC273/I-85 bridge. Mason is seen with Belmont Mayor Charles Martin receiving his heroism award for that event. Photo by Alan Hodge

MOUNT HOLLY COUNCIL from page 1 various venues including the Miss NC pageant being held this week in Raleigh. “It's an amazing opportunity to serve Mt. Holly,” Farris said. A special and somber moment in the council meeting took place when mayor Bryan Hough read aloud a proclamation honoring MHPD K9 Nelo. Nelo was a Belgian Malinois with proven police bloodlines dating back several generations. Approximately 24 dogs are or have been police dogs from this family bloodline. Nelo had the perfect police dog temperament. He knew the difference between work and play and could handle business when the need arose, but would wag his tail and be the family pet when not at work. Nelo loved to interact with the children during school demonstrations. The beloved dog served MHPD from 2005-2013. He lived with his police partner

tific, sociological, and sensitive approach to the parking situation,” she said. “Friendly reminders will be the first step. We want to change parking behavior, not ticket drivers,”” Several new lots have been added to the city's roster of parking spaces. The newest is behind City Hall where a lot was created a couple of months ago with 26 spaces. Another lot was added behind Belmont General Store on Glenway St. where railroad tracks were removed and spaces created. Next to that lot and beside the Wells Fargo drive up, another lot was opened up. Right now, the lots are free. Two-hour parking in the downtown area has been from 8am to 5pm. That will increase to 7pm Monday-Saturday. There are no time limits on Sunday. Besides N. Main St., others that will see two hour parking include Mill St, Airline St., Kenwood St., Glenway St., and S. Main. “We are just waiting for the signs to come in,” said Davis. Another parking idea that's under study is creating 30 minute parking spots so folks can drop off pets or rush in and do brief business of other sorts and leave. City Hall will have a couple of 10 minute parking spots for things like water bill paying. Some people park the “wrong way”, and Davis says
that practice will be monitored. If push comes to shove and parking tickets should be written, the fine will be $15. If the fine is not paid within10 days, add $5 to the total for each day after the ten day window.

So what are you doing for summer vacation? By John Wilson John.bannernews@gmail.com
17 year old Kaylie Nelson of Belmont is one grounded young lady. Nelson, a rising senior at Stuart Cramer High School is an aspiring artist who is keeping rather busy this summer. Kaylie is juggling two jobs and spending a significant amount of time working on her art. Kaylie first started to get involved in artwork as a child. "When I was little my mom got me arts and crafts stuff," Kaylie said." I did it but I didn't take a deep interest." Right around the time Kaylie started middle-school her family moved from South Carolina to North Carolina. It was during that time that Kaylie's interest in art picked up. "I just started doing it," Kaylie said "I don't know what triggered it." As time went on Kaylie became more fascinated in art. Any kind of art. She was always looking for a way to create something new. Her interests were wide ranging. "Mostly studio art," Kaylie said. "Watercolors, drawings, I'm also trying new things. I've done pottery and ceramics." Kaylie has a rather extensive collection of her art work. She currently has almost 100 drawings. Some done in charcoal, some in pen. She of her work she keeps in a portfolio, a sort of artwork scrapbook. Some of her creations hang on the walls of her bedroom. A room that doubles as a makeshift art studio. The artwork on display ranges from colorful landscape settings to dark charcoal portraits. Kaylie spends a lot of her spare time is spent on her drawings. “I usually draw every day," Kaylie added. "I spend two to three hours a day drawing." When Kaylie isn't drawing she's working. Right now Kaylie is holding down two part-time jobs this summer. Her first job she has had since December of 2015. "I like to work," Kaylie said. "My brother Dylan pushed me to work at McDonald's. That's fast-paced. You don't get a lot of time to connect with people, but my brother made it fun." Kaylie thinks a lot of her big brother. In many ways, Dylan provided Kaylie with someone to look up to. After graduating from East Gaston
last year Kaylie's older brother was accepted to Norwich University-The Military College of Vermont. This summer Dylan is going through US Army boot camp and artillery training in Fort Sill Oklahoma as a member of the Vermont National Guard. Kaylie and the rest of her family are planning on going to see him graduate in July. Kaylie second job is a little different. Whenever the Gastonia Grizzlies are in town Kaylie is working at the concession stand or in the KidZone. Kaylie's McDonald's gig has helped her deal with the demands of a baseball crowd. The Grizzlies are known for their off the wall promotions and have a good time style. Kaylie's personality seems like a good fit. “I like it," Kaylie said of her Grizzlies job. "It's pretty cool. It's not as fast paced. I get to connect more with people. I have met a lot of people there." Working the KidZone can be demanding. A group of exuberant kids running around can be a lot to handle. Kaylie enjoys the challenge. On her first day of she had to break up a fight. Not an adult fighting, just two little ones fighting over a baseball bat. "I saw two little kids fighting over whose turn it was to play with a bat," Kaylie went on to say. "I was working in the KidZone down and I didn't want them to fight so I got down on my knees to their level." Since they weren't her children Kaylie needed to come up with a creative way to get the kids to get along. She decided to channel her own inner child to come up with an answer. "I told them they needed to work this out with rock paper scissors," Kaylie said. The rock-paper-scissors game helped solve that little spat. Truth be known the kids probably related to Kaylie better than most teenagers because she kind of looks like a kid herself. Kaylie just doesn't look like most seventeen-year-olds. She is a very petite 5 foot 3. In many ways Kaylie looks more like a 7th grader than a high school senior. Kaylie doesn't let the middle school comparisons bother her. In fact, she just laughs it off. "I get weird looks when I'm driving," Kaylie laughed.
Kaylie Nelson of Belmont skims through her portfolio in her bedroom/studio. This summer Kaylie is working two jobs and plans trips to New York, Georgia and Oklahoma during the summer break. Photo by John Willson "They wonder what is this 12 year old doing driving." When you first come into contact with Kaylie you're taken back by her carefree nature and sense of style. Most teenagers are obsessed with fashion. They spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on the clothes and such. Kaylie could care less about what is hot today. She just does her own thing. She comes across as, well, artsy. Kaylie passes on the high end stuff. She prefers running around in her Star Wars garb and Queen concert t-shirts. Miss Nelson can sum up her fashion style with one word. "Nerdy." Kaylie joked. Even people who know her sometime underestimate Kaylie because of her small stature and carefree look. "Even at McDonald's they sometimes get people to carry the heavy stuff for me." Kaylie noted. "But I'm more than capable of doing it myself." Kaylie is actually a tough little cookie. She's a member of the Stuart Cramer varsity softball team. She may be small, but she can carry her own weight. To be able to handle everything Kaylie has on her plate you need to have a great work ethic. For Kaylie, the work ethic appears to be genetic gift. Kaylie's mom Christina Quinn is a nurse that works for the American Red Cross in Charlotte, Christina is a mother of five with another boy on the way,
due in November. To make all that happen hard work has to be in you DNA. So it looks like a little bit of Mom rubbed off on Kaylie and Dylan. In addition to her artwork, a trip to Oklahoma and shuffling between two jobs Kaylie has other things planned for her summer break. This summer she is hoping to find a way to swing visits two art schools in New York and Georgia. After she graduates from Cramer next year, Kaylie is hoping to be accepted at an art college. Right now she is looking at either the Pratt Institute in New York or the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. Kaylie doesn't have a specific major in mind right now. All she knows is that she wants to go to college for art. When she graduates she wants to get a job in the art field. If it involves art Kaylie is interested. "I'd like to sell my art," Kaylie explained. "I'd also like to work in a museum." Kaylie hasn't sold any of her artwork yet, even though some of her work is rather good. For Kaylie, art is a very personal experience. It's a part of her. She has a deep attachment to everything she creates. To be a professional artist Kaylie understands she will need to take the next step. "I need to learn to let it go," Kaylie noted. "I can always create more." In the not-too-distant future Kaylie is hoping to put
some of her work on display at local festivals and community events. It won't be long before she sells her first piece. In fact it's logical to believe that good things await her in the world of art.
To be successful in life you have to have a good work ethic. Kaylie has that down. Based on this young ladies positive outlook and love of art it wouldn't be surprising to see Kaylie Nelson creating something spectacular.

St. Michael’s Youth host Benefit Dance by Rachel McKimmon St. Michael’s Catholic Church of Gastonia youth group recently organized and hosted a benefit dance, called ‘Neon Dance’, at Belmont Abbey College to support parish and youth group member Ethan Scott, his family and his battle with stomach cancer. Teens arrived early Saturday morning to begin transforming the Abbey’s Student Commons Center into a fluorescent fun dance-floor with youth group leader, Lonikay Templeton. Months prior, the youth group began eagerly planning for this night, dividing themselves into food, music and decoration committees. William Raffamoe assisted in the planning and commented on it, “this dance and its preparations show how strong the youth group can be when we come together.” ‘Neon Dance’ included music from a live DJ, socializing, and desserts and refreshments were provided for guests. The youth group extended the benefit dance invitation to the diocese to encour-
age all Charlotte Catholics to come out for a fun night and to support youth group member and parishioner, Ethan Scott. Raffamoe, St. Michael’s youth group member and a friend of Scott’s, commented, “Ethan would be blown away by the dance and the support coming from it.” In total, fifty-five youth attended from a range of parishes including St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Our Lady of Grace and more. Thomas Wegner, another member of St. Michael’s youth group, spoke on the success of ‘Neon Dance’ saying, “the mission of this dance was to help and support Ethan and his family and to tell Ethan’s story.” The teens raised a total of $1600 from the benefit dance, including a $1000 anonymous donation. Scott surprised his friends at the end of the dance and they welcomed him home swarming into a group embrace. To learn more about Ethan’s story, please visit his support site: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/ethanscott222

This past Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day. As we think of fathers, we think of all the things they mean, or have meant to us. We cherish the precious memories of all the great things we did together. We also make new memories with our dads every day. With this being said, what are the qualities of a father? When we think of fathers we often think of our Heavenly Father. Luke 15:11-32 records the famous parable told by Jesus, the prodigal son. In this parable, a man’s son desires his portion of his father’s inheritance. He takes this money and departs, living a life of excess and revelry. Everything is great until the money runs out. Also, a famine overtakes the land. The son finds himself lonely and hungry. He takes a job feeding swine, and he is so hungry, that he wishes he had the animals’ food. Finally, he decides to go home. He feels unworthy to be his father’s son, and wants to become a servant. As he nears home, his father runs to him, and embraces him. The son tells his father he is no longer worthy to be his son, and wants to be a servant. However, his father receives him gladly, and throws a party for his son. His father says, “For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found” (NKJV). The father of this parable reflects God, and the son reflects you and me. As we look at this story, it reminds us of all the wonderful attributes of God, and how we should be as fathers. The man of this story clearly loved his son, and received him even though he had rebelled against him. God loves us no matter
how far away we drift. He loves us so much, that He sent His son Jesus Christ to die for us. As fathers, we must love. Our children need and deserve to know that they are loved. This father was also merciful. He forgave his son and received him again. God shows His mercy to us every day. We do not deserve His mercy, yet He gives it freely. Fathers need to be merciful. Our children will mess up sometimes, and even rebel. Although they need correction, they also need to see forgiveness and mercy from us. The father never gave up on his son, and God never gives up on us. He patiently waits for us to receive Him by faith, no matter how long it takes. Fathers never give up on their children. No matter what they do, fathers keep on caring. Most of all, fathers need to reflect Jesus Christ to their children. In the midst of the world we live in, our children need good godly examples. As fathers, may we live like Jesus every day. May we love, be patient, and show mercy to our children. If we are faithful to live Jesus Christ before our children and teach them well, perhaps they will be the generation that brings their world to Christ. Fathers, we have a difficult job in today’s world raising children, yet they need us. May we, as fathers, reflect our Heavenly Father! Rev.

Common Sense for Gardens and Life... Most of us crave some “smarts,” to navigate our lives successfully. Sadly however, none of us always does things the “smart way.” Based on rumors, I’ve invested in paltry oil stocks and my first backpacking trip was with a 70# backpack strapped on my back and a 12” black iron skillet swinging from my waist. Quite possibly we all have bouts of irrationality, forgetfulness, or busy-ness that leads to bad decisions. Whatever our background, however, we can all learn common sense skills and apply them every day. Webster’s notes that “common sense is sound and prudent judgement based on simple perception of a set of situations or facts.” So, in part, it seems common sense comes from experience and education; even the education and experiences of others who share it with us. When working with our gardens it becomes readily apparent that tomatoes need a structure to hold them up and my melons at least, need some attention to keep them from getting soft spots where they lay on the ground. Then we need to manage garden predators, proper garden lo-
cation, using good dictions, selfish seeds and plants, advertising, overand understandindulgences or ing that things even dangerous change with time. friends.

Meditations God will pick you up When I preach at various venues, each organization request the same thing. I am asked for my bio or resume to which I decline sending. My refusal often sets people on edge. The reason I don’t send my resume because we can get too caught up in our significance. Our resume and bio will often tell the story of our successes. When was the last time you listed your failures and short-comings on a bio? How many of us would read a book about being a failure? Of course, we want to put our best self forward, but it is through my failures and shortcomings that I can celebrate my successes. It is my weakness that God’s strength is made perfect and comes to full power. I was asked by a young clergy entering his first appointment, “If I had to do it all over what would I do differently?” Without hesitation, I responded, I would not go into my appointment thinking I knew it all. I would not take it for granted what I could have learned from the laity. I would observe, listen and learn. “Don’t think you are better than you really are.” Romans 12:3b NLT. I am not glorifying failure, but I am not afraid to acknowledge the areas I have failed. For, it was in my failing that I learned about humility and spiri-
tual growth. It was in my shortcomings I learned to trust God and appreciate grace. “The godly man Rev. Angela Pleasants trips seven times, District but they will get up Superintendent again.” Proverbs of Catawba Valley 24:16a NLT. Peter Methodist Churches knew the experience of sinking into the deepest pit of failure when he denied knowing Jesus. Scriptures say Peter wept bitterly. In his weeping, Peter knew he had failed his Lord. He was utterly heartbroken and sorrowful. Peter knew the depth of failure, but he also knew the depth of Jesus forgiveness. Jesus asked, “Peter, do you love me?” Peter replies yes Lord. Peter tripped, but through forgiveness, he also got up again and became one of the greatest preachers of all time. We do not have to be defeated by failure. We can allow God to use the experience to grow us. In the midst of our shortcomings we need not more human strength, but the grace of God. So, yes we will stumble, but through God’s grace, we shall rise.
State Park visitors should plan ahead Due to increased visitation to North Carolina State Parks this year, the Division of Parks and Recreation asks visitors to use the following tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable outdoor experience over the summer weekends and holidays. When visiting swim beaches or day use areas: • Carpool with friends and family whenever possible. This will help alleviate overflowing parking areas where available spaces are limited. • Arrive with all the essential items that you need
for your visit. Once you park, it will be difficult to leave the park for supplies without losing your parking space. Re-entry to the park is not guaranteed. • Arrive early (before 10 a.m.) or later in the day (after 4 p.m.) to avoid traffic and parking closures due to full lots. • Do not slow down, stop, or park on park roads or near park entrances. Rangers must keep traffic flowing to prevent accidents. • Be patient—park rangers appreciate your cooperation
while working to keep you and your family safe. • Watch your children at all times to ensure they are in safe areas and follow all park rules. • As a reminder, alcoholic beverages are not permitted on North Carolina State Park properties. This includes beaches and picnic areas. Parks staff encourage those planning a visit to review park rules to minimize inconvenience and maximize enjoyment: https://www.ncparks. gov/park-rules

Not your typical grandmother By John Wilson John.bannernews@gmail.com
So what is normal? Well, I guess that depends on who you're asking. If you ask a person from North Carolina if eating liver mush is normal they would tell you heck yes! However, should you ask a person from Pennsylvania the same question they would quickly proclaim that livermush is gross. It's all a matter of perspective. So when you ask 57 year old Kathy Wilson from Gastonia if she is normal you get a combination of the weird look and the heck yes. On the surface one would think Kathy Wilson lives what many consider to be a normal life. Kathy works hard at her job as a senior auditing supervisor for Check Into Cash based out of Cleveland, Tennessee. Kathy is a married grandmother of five. She even has a 4 year old hound dog named Copper. Yeah, nothing amiss here. The thing is, Kathy is a bit different. What sets Kathy apart from many of her peers is what she does for fun. In her spare time Kathy Wilson plays scenario paintball. At least once a month Kathy gears up in camouflage and goes into the woods looking to hunt people. For those unfamiliar with it, paintball is an alternative sport. Players wear safety masks and carry markers that shoot a gelatin ball of paint. The object of the game is simple. Get the other guy before he gets you. Kathy started playing paintball when her family moved to Belmont in 2000. She started by playing pickup games with family and friends in the woods outside of Belmont. "We would sneak off into the woods with our camouflage and paintball gear," Kathy said. "People would look at us funny. We freaked out the neighbors." Long before she started playing paintball Kathy joined the US Army in 1980. She was a nuclear biological and chemical warfare specialist stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington. What she learned in the military taught her a lot about life. What she probably didn't count on was that some 30 years later the skills she learned in the Army would help her on the paintball field. Kathy will tell you she enjoyed those friendly Belmont games, but as time went on she wanted a bigger challenge. She soon started playing in scenario games. Scenario paintball games are events based off of famous battles, video games and sometimes popular TV shows. A scenario games can feature anywhere from a few dozen to over a thousand players. One of the things that Kathy saw in scenario games changed her perspective. Kathy soon found out that some games are played with paintball tanks and players carrying handheld rocket launchers. Yes, tanks! In scenario paintball there are an assortment of different contraptions designed to eliminate players. One of the most ominous is the paintball tank. Paintball tanks are made out of just about any vehicle that can move. The vehicles are encased in netting, wood, and plastic. They are made up to look like real tanks and armored cars. The tanks are both loved and feared on the field. Paintball tanks are armed with paintball markers and rocket launchers. The rocket launchers shoot small rubber rockets. The markers are used to shoot players. The launchers can take out other tanks and bunkers. Any player hiding in a bunker when a rocket hits is declared "dead." Some launchers can shoot out to 250 yards. To take out a tank the vehicle must be hit by a rocket fired by another tank or from a player carrying a handheld
rocket launcher. Going after a tank with a rocket launcher can be risky business. Kathy was fascinated with the cat and mouse "game within a game" associated with going after tanks. She wanted in on that. She wanted to take out tanks So, grandma decided she wanted a rocket launcher. Kathy's first launcher was a recreation of a World War II German panzerfaust. The panzerfaust had great range but Kathy soon found that she needed something that loaded a little easier. A few years back she got her Havoc. The Havoc is a launcher that can be loaded and fired like a single shot shotgun. It's easy to load and easy to get into play. Hunting tanks and hitting bunkers isn't without risk. Being an anti-tank bunker buster, or AT gunner puts a target on your back. Opposing players and tanks are quick to target and eliminate anyone with a rocket launcher. Kathy takes the challenge in stride. She knows that by pushing people out of bunkers and nailing tanks she can help her side win. "It's fun," Kathy stated. "Nothing like being on the field with nothing but what you can get a tank with. Everyone else has something they can shoot me with." So just how does a grandmother go about hunting tanks? To get a shot Kathy would look for choke points and road intersections. Places where a tank would have to go in order to get from Point A to Point B. Once she identifies a spot, Kathy would hide in the woods and buildings and wait. When a tank rolled into range Kathy would work her way around the rear of the tank to hit it. On most fields a handheld launcher can only "kill" a tank with a rear end shot. After a kill is made the AT gunner goes to the referee in the area to "claim the kill." A tank that has been taken out then needs to leave the filed for a predetermined amount of time. There is a level of honor among AT gunners and tanks. Sort of a love hate thing. Both the tanks and the AT gunners have a mutual respect for each other. Kathy's knack for whacking tanks soon resulted in her being coined with the nickname "Tank Girl”. Over the last few years Kathy has played in over three dozen scenario paintball games across the Eastern United States and Canada. Kathy loves the camaraderie that comes with being involved in scenario paintball. Her tenacity and has earned her the respect of fellow paintball players. One of the people that has seen Kathy in action is Derrick Balog. When he isn't playing paintball Balog is an IT manager for Duke Energy. "Tank Girl is a force," Balog said "She'll lay in wait, hiding in brush, to get the perfect shot on a tank." Balog also knows that Kathy can do much more than shoot at tanks and bunkers. "She also has no problems picking up a regular paintball marker and defending the objective." Balog said. In May, Balog put together Platoon Leader 2017. Platoon Leader is an annual immersion paintball game held at Command Decisions Wargames Center in Taylorsville, NC. This game isn't for everyone. It known for being grueling and demanding. The game can be so demanding that it's not uncommon for players to quit before the game ends. "Recently, I produced an 18 hour milsim scenario, which required the players to remain in-play for the entire duration," Balog said. "Tank Girl is one of the most hardcore paintball players around, so she had no problem joining in and earning her patch!"
The "patch" Balog referred to is a velcro backed patch that is awarded to those that toughed it out and finish the game. A Platoon Leader patch is a source of pride in the paintball community. In most of the games she plays in Kathy is the oldest female player on the field. That fact doesn't seem to faze her. In fact Kathy enjoys showing people that you should never judge a book by its cover. When asked what it's like to be on the field with kids old enough to be her grandchildren Kathy takes it all in, a sly grin comes across her face as she responds. “I wouldn't have it any other way, Wilson said." I may not run like some of the kids but I sure can sneak." Yeah, beware of grandmothers that sling paint. Kathy has fun with the people she meets on the field. She is frequently approached by kids and asked for advice about launchers, masks and general game play. Kathy likes being able to help others. It's part of what she enjoys about paintball. The closeness of the paintball community is something that draws Wilson to the game. "Playing paintball I have made friends from all over the place," Kathy said. "They are some of the best people I have ever known. It's like family." These days Kathy is shifting gears. She recently became the turret gunner on the Nostromo a paintball tank fielded by the Charlotte based paintball team LV486. Kathy's spot in the tank is the turret. The turret is a small box like structure on top of the tank. It houses the tank's rocket launcher and primary marker. The turret is the business end of the paintball tank. LV486's team Captain is Andrew "Mother" Woods of Huntersville. Woods is pleased to have Kathy manning the turret. "Kathy is a great addition to our crew on the Nostromo," Woods said. "She's our turret gunner, so she is the eyes and ears of the tank, and does more damage against enemy players than anyone else." Kathy's experience as an anti-tank gunner helped her transition into being the Nostromo's gunner. "She also is responsible for taking out enemy tanks with our nerf cannon," Woods added. "Off the field, she's a huge help in maintaining and building the tank, and we love having her aboard!" It's no secret that playing a contact type sport like paintball can be tough on the body. Kathy has taken some lumps on the field. She has suffered partial meniscus tears in both of her knees. To compensate Kathy wears hinged knee braces and adjusts her playing style. Kathy has no idea how long she will play. Being a part of the Nostromo crew for many games will give her knees a break. One thing is sure, Kathy plans on playing. "There will always be a way to play paintball," Kathy added. "I will play until there isn't anything left to do." Kathy takes the wear and tear in stride. She figures you can hurt your knee falling off a curb. So if you’re going to get hurt have fun doing it. Right now Kathy is preparing to go to Alberta Canada to play in an event known as Skyline Nation. At Skyline, Kathy will be playing with others in the Canadian Rockies at elevations that exceed 5,500 feet. To prepare for the Canada trip Kathy tries to go on daily 3 mile walks with Copper. Of course anyone that owns a hound knows that a walk with a hound is

At least she is getting her cardio in. In the end Kathy Wilson's story isn't about paintball. Her story also isn't about a grandmother marching around the country with a rocket launcher shooting rubber rockets. What makes Kathy Wilson's story
special is the fact that she has chosen to live life to the fullest. She is a person who refuses to let others define her. Kathy Wilson would never admit it, but she is an unconventional role model. Kathy "Tank Girl" Wilson is living proof that in the end, age really is just a number.

South Point High School Sports Awards by Charlotte Sautner South Point High School held its annual spring sports awards banquet on Tuesday, May 23rd. Awards were presented for junior varsity and varsity baseball, varsity softball, ladies junior varsity and varsity soccer, men’s golf, men’s tennis, and men’s and women’s track. Also, presented were the following major awards: The Jack Huss Scholar Athlete Award, Male and Female Sportsmanship awards, the Male and Female Athlete of the Year awards and the Joe Steel Fan Appreciation Award. Also recognized was the Academic All Conference team for the fall sports season and those who were named All Conference for the spring sports season. The Jack Huss Scholar Athlete Award is presented to a senior who has participated in a least two sports during the past year. The Award winner must have the highest academic average of those who qualified. Jack Huss was a longtime resident of Cramerton, an outstanding athlete and coach and a WWII veteran. This is a very appropriate award to be named for Jack Huss because as a coach, he knew the value of athletics in the lives of our youth, and as a teacher and later principal at Cramerton High School, he also knew the importance of academics in the lives of young athletes to prepare them for the future. The winner of the award this year is Worth Walker. Worth has been recognized as a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete. He was selected All Conference in soccer and was awarded the team’s Best Offensive player during las fall’s season. This winter Worth competed on the Red Raider swim team where he received the Breakout Swimmer award for his hard work and leadership. The Jack Lineberger Scholarship is a scholarship presented each year to a senior member of the football team. It is given in memory of Jack Lineberger who played football at Belmont High School during 1953-54 and graduated in 1954. He was named to the 1953 All State Football team and played in the Shrine Bowl where he was the runner-up for the MVP award. He went on to play varsity football at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was the starting guard until an injury ended his career. This year we have two winner: James Granson and Nick Farmer. James Granson was awarded a $2500 scholarship. He received the Dr. Eddie Lineberger Best Blocker award and was named to the Big South All Conference football team as an offensive guard. He was also chosen to the First Team Offense Gaston Gazette 2016 Football Team. He is a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete and recently earned his Eagle Scout award. James will attend East Carolina University in the fall. Nick Farmer was awarded a $1500 scholarship. He received the Rollins Insurance Most Versatile award and was named All Conference as a defensive back for the NCHSAA State 3A Championship Red Raider football team. Nick was also named to the Big South All Conference baseball team as an outfielder this spring. Nick is also a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete and will attend Appalachian State University in the fall. The Male and Female Sportsmanship Awards are presented to a senior who has participated in at least 2 sports. Those nominated are then voted on by the coaches. This Award expresses much more than physical achievement. J It exemplifies and embodies the actions and attitudes of the recipient. To be chosen for this award, the student-athlete has to exhibit the qualities of fairness, courtesy and grace-in winning and in defeat-on and off the field. The recipient must be a person of integrity. To win this award you have to stand apart from the crowd. You have to lead others by your attitude, your hard work and your example. You cannot be li8ke everyone else. You have to realize that, as someone wisely put it, “a man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.” The winner of the Female Sportsmanship Award is Hannah Stockton. She competed on the basketball and soccer teams. She has been described by her coaches and fellow teammates as a young lady, a hard worker, and the consummate team player. She has been a designated a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete and will attend Appalachian State University in the fall. The winner of the Male Sportsmanship Award is James Granson. He has been a significant contributor on the football and track teams. Coaches and teammates alike describe him as being unselfish and committed to his team. He is always willing to help out and do what is right. He believes in being of service to others in his community. James recently earned his Eagle Scout award and also received the Jack Lineberger Scholarship Award. He will attend East Carolina University this fall. The Joe Steele Fan Appreciation Award is given by the South Point Booster Club to a volunteer or volunteers who go beyond expectation in support of South Point athletics. The winner this year is the Reverend Joe Lawing. Reverend Lawing attends games for all Red Raider teams and spends many hours coordinating logistical issues for pre-game meals and travel. He also serves as the team chaplain for the football team. South Point also named its Male and Female Athlete of the Year. The Female Athlete of the Year is Jaelin Griffin. Jaelin

Motorcycle safety essentials The weather is perfect, the highway is calling and you’re ready for life to throw you and your bike a few (scenic) curves. Motorcycle season is here, and for Motorcycle Safety Month this May, CaroMont Health has a handful of important safety tips to share—whether you’re new to the rules of the road or a seasoned rider who could use a quick refresh. But first, why does motorcycle safety matter? It’s a fact: motorcyclists are nearly five times more likely to be injured and 29 times more likely to be killed in a crash than any other vehicle. And last year in North Carolina alone, there were 3,644 motorcycle-related crashes, resulting in 152 fatalities and 385 serious injuries. So keeping safety top-of-mind won’t detract from the thrill of your ride—if anything, it’ll keep the thrills coming and you out of harm. Read on for the top eight safety essentials. Be Seen When a driver looks in their mirror or out their window, they’re typically watching for other cars—and often don’t notice the smaller motorcycle. This is easily the most common cause of a collision; ensure you’re visible to drivers by wearing bright colors, putting reflectors on your clothing or riding gear and avoiding blind spots.
Pay Attention Stay aware of your surroundings, especially cars in left-turn lanes or on side streets—there’s a chance they could pull out in front of you unexpectedly. Watch a car’s wheels, check for turn signals and keep an eye out for a driver turning their head in preparation for a lane shift. Make Evasion an Instinct Avoiding accidents often requires a quick response to get out of a car’s way. Swerving safely takes practice and skill to stay in control. If you need to stop suddenly, avoid being rear-ended by stopping on the center line or to one side of the lane, not in the middle; and be aware of obstacles on or next to the road (rocks, open car doors, etc.) so you’re more prepared to swerve and miss them. Keep Your Distance Always keep at least a 20-foot cushion between you and fellow riders, and try to avoid riding next to semi trucks— they can cause wind turbulence, and other drivers have trouble seeing a motorcycle around such a large vehicle. Cruise, Baby, Cruise Ride your own ride: if you’re in a group and they’re riding faster than you are comfortable with, hang back and go your own speed. It’s much more difficult to control your motorcycle when riding fast, especially when the road isn’t flat and straight. Stay at the speed

most comfortable for you. Wear Protective Gear A rider not wearing a helmet is five times more likely to sustain a critical head injury. Helmets save lives. Buy a U.S. Department of Transportation-approved helmet, and replace it if it gets damaged. You should also buy comfortable, durable clothing and boots to wear while riding; they offer you greater control and help protect you in the event of an accident. Take a Class Improve your riding skills and focus by taking a motorcycle safety course. You’ll familiarize yourself with your bike, learn how to get out of tight spots and be better prepared to avoid accidents. The North Carolina Motorcycle Safety Education Program (http://ncmotorcyclesafety.org) offers many course levels, from the very basic all the way to advanced. Don’t Drink and Ride Riding a motorcycle requires focus, control and quick reaction times. Alcohol significantly impairs your capacity for all of those things. Protect yourself and others on the road—don’t drink and ride. You can always celebrate after you’ve safely parked your bike for the night. Provided by CaroMont Health
