named Freedom neighborhood in Mt. Holly. He operated a livery stable on Main St. and ran a general store for the local African-American populace making him one of the first black business owners in the area. He also helped recently freed slaves find jobs and housing. Hunter was a strong believer in education. He learned to read, write, and do math. He also learned carpentry and blacksmithing. He served on the Public School Committee of District No. 12, which at the time was called the “colored” school district, and deeded land to what became Rollins School in 1887.
Hunter also had strong faith. He was the founder of two Mount Holly churches still in existence today: Rock Grove Methodist Church, which became Burge Memorial United Methodist Church, and Mt. Sinai Baptist Church.
Hunter sold land to Abel Peterson Rhyne and Daniel Efird Rhyne to build the area’s first cotton mill in 1875. The Mount Holly
Hunter’s is the first name on the Mt. Holly Historic Person of the Year plaque in the Mt. Holly Historical Society Society museum.
Manufacturing Mill was constructed on the land which Hunter purchased in 1874 from R.C.G. Love. It was the fourth mill to be built in Gaston County and is the oldest surviving cotton mill today. The name of the mill was

derived from the famed yarn mill in Mount Holly, New Jersey, in hopes of taking after their success. The mill’s success and the prosperity of the area led local residents to petition the North Carolina General Assembly for the incorporation of Mount Holly in 1879. In 1913, Hunter sold the Mayes Manufacturing Company a stretch of land near the South Fork Catawba River and the Southern Railroad, where they built a cotton textile mill.[8]
Hunter died in 1918 at the age of 93 in Mt. Holly. He’s buried near a large oak in the cemetery at the corner of Hawthorne and West Catawba Ave. in Mt. Holly.
Hunter is still remembered for his many contributions to

Mt. Holly.
In July 2014, his descendants held a family reunion and a new headstone was placed under the big tree near his grave. In 2017, Hunter was named as the very first Mt. Holly Historic Person of the Year by the Mt. Holly Historical Society.

Sometimes when people see Stuart W. Cramer High School students Zachary and Nicholas Willer, they do a double take. The brothers are identical twins, and it’s not just their looks that are shared. Their winning ways are, too.
In the 3A west regional and state cross country championships as well as most other running competitions, the brothers have been separated by mere seconds. Zachary finished two and a half seconds ahead of Nicholas to win the state title, becoming Gaston County’s first boys state champion in 43 years.
Prior to the state contest, Zachary finished one second ahead of Nicholas at the western regional meet. Earlier in the cross country season, it was Nicholas who earned first place in the Gaston County meet and the Big South 3A conference championship.
While there is a rivalry between some siblings, Zachary and Nicholas say they are not competing against each other, but rather they focus on the athletes on opposing teams.
“We support one another,” said Zachary. “We are cheering no matter who finishes ahead of the other. If I see Nicholas doing well during a race, it motivates me that much more.”
The two brothers have a good relationship. They played other sports such as soccer and swimming together before making running their primary focus.
“We started running laps in middle school soccer for conditioning,” said Nicholas. “Our coaches saw how well we ran and asked us to give middle school track a try, and the rest is history.”
With the cross country season complete, the Willer brothers can now concentrate their training on indoor and outdoor track and field. Both of them compete in the 1600 meters, 3200 meters, and 4x800 relay events.
However, running is not their long-term goal. Both realize it would be great to be a professional distance runner, but they know a good education is what awaits them at East Carolina University where they have earned cross country scholarships to help pay for their studies.
“We’re majoring in biomedical engineering,” said Nicholas. “We hope to develop prosthetics for the medical field.”
Both Nicholas and Zachary credit the Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes offered through Gaston County Schools and their teacher, Meredith McMillan, for their interest in biomedical engineering.
Now, their futures will take them to East Carolina to further their academic and athletic aspirations. Together, they hope to continue being a friendly force in competition and sharing more championship moments.
Twin brothers Zachary and Nicholas Willer, students at Stuart W. Cramer High School, received scholarships to run cross country at East Carolina University.

Gaston College and Catawba Valley Community College have become the first two schools in Western N.C. to become a part of North Carolina State University’s Community College Collaboration Agreement (C3). The C3 agreement will guarantee students from Gaston College and Catawba Valley Community College admission to NC State if they meet certain requirements. Students can begin applying to the program in Fall 2022.
The major milestone became official at a signing ceremony Tuesday afternoon on the Gaston College campus. Signing the agreement were Dr. John Hauser, President of Gaston College; Dr. Garrett Hinshaw, President of Catawba Valley Community College; Dr. Warwick Arden, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of NC State; Dr. Don Hunt, Senior Vice Provost of NC State; and Dr. Heather Woodson, Vice President for Academic Affairs of Gaston College.
Students from Gaston College and Catawba Valley Community College can dualenroll at NC State and must complete an A.A., A.S. or A.E. degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better to be accepted into NC State through C3. While admission is guaranteed so long as students meet this and the residency requirement, admission into specific majors may be more competitive. While attending Gaston College or Catawba Valley Community College, the students will have access to special services including advising and networking opportunities from NC State. Nearly 1,700 students transfer to NC State each year, and Dr. Hauser and Dr. Hinshaw are pleased that their students can now have a smooth pathway to this quality education. Both Colleges also signed bilateral 2+2 articulation agreements with the Wilson College of Textiles at NC State on Tuesday. Catawba Valley Community College students who graduate with an Associate in Science and meet eligibility requirements would be able to seamlessly transfer into the Bachelor of Science degree in Fashion and Textile Management. Gaston College’s agreement is for students transferring from the Associate of Applied Science in Textile Technology to the Bachelor of Science in Textile Technology-Undesignated at NC State. The agreements will begin in the Fall 2022 semester.

By CaroMont Health While safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 is here, it is important for every individual to continue practicing safety measures. A face mask is one of the best ways to help stop the spread of sickness. But if you’ve noticed that it also can also cause skin irritation and breakouts, you’re not alone. Caring for your mask goes a long way toward caring for your skin. Read our best tips for both below.
Skin Care Tips
Choose a natural fiber mask like cotton or bamboo. Natural fibers are more breathable and reduce the risk of irritation.
Be sure your mask is clean. If disposable, use a fresh one as often as possible. If reusable, be sure to wash between uses.
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser before putting on your mask to reduce oils and dirt that may be trapped below.
Using an oil-free makeup primer can create a barrier between your mask and your skin. It helps reduce friction and lessen irritation in sensitive areas.
Wash your face again after taking your mask off and be sure to promptly wash your hands.
Don’t forget sunblock to avoid tan or burn marks in areas that your mask doesn’t cover.
Wash your reusable masks with a non-scented laundry detergent to reduce the risk of irritation on your face.
Mask Care Tips
Only use clean masks. If you are using disposable masks, throw away after each use. If you’re wearing a cloth mask, be sure to launder after each use using a non-scented laundry detergent.
Try to not touch your mask while wearing and wait until you are home to take your mask off.
Wash your hands before taking off your face mask and only touch the ear loops.
If your mask has filters, remove and throw away between uses.
Put your mask directly into the wash or laundry hamper.
If your mask is reusable, launder in hot water and dry on a high setting.
Store your mask in a clean place.

Cold weather health tips
By CaroMont Health
As colder temperatures set in and COVID-19 continues to make indoor spaces a higher risk for virus transmission, how can you stay comfortable while keeping up your fitness routine? Read our “must have” list of essential cold weather fitness gear to help you stay active and healthy during these winter months.
Base Layer
The base layer is a layer of fitted clothing that is closest to your skin. It should wick moisture and perspiration to keep you warm and dry. There are lots of options for these pieces and most are made of silk, polyester, wool or a higher tech synthetic fabric like Thinsulate. Cotton and other breathable fabrics are not recommended as those options stay wet longer and actually draw heat away from your body.
Mid Layer
This layer should focus on comfort and warmth. Fleece, wool and down are all good options and provide the insulation you need to keep your body heat from escaping. You may also find that mid layer clothing offers lots of ventilation options should you get too warm.
Outer Layer
For the outside layer, focus on protecting yourself from the elements. That means waterproof material, wind resistant clothing and material that will keep you dry and shielded from inclement weather. While an outer layer is not always necessary, it is a great option to have if there is rain, wind or snow.
Head
Did you know the majority of your body heat escapes through your head? Wearing a hat that covers your ears will not only keep your head warm, it will help maintain your body heat. Also, don’t forget your ears and your face as both can get chapped and chaffed without proper protection.
Hands
Our extremities often feel the cold first and the most. Gloves that are comfortable and wick moisture are great for cold weather runs and walks, while something waterproof is better for longer hikes and snowy weather activities. While fleece is quite warm, it does not repel moisture or wind.
Feet
Did you know our bodies use our feet to regulate our core body temperature? Choosing a sock that is comfortable and performs well in cold weather is essential for your comfort. Wool socks are a great option and will keep your feet warm and dry.
Reflective Gear
During the winter months, it gets dark so quickly. If you’re exercising outdoors in the dark, it is so important to wear reflective gear for your safety. Arm bands, vests and LED lights are easy to find and will help alert vehicles of your presence.

The Crusaders won its second straight contest and advanced to 7-5 overall and 5-3 in conference play. Erskine moved to 0-11 overall and 0-8 in the conference.
How It Happened- The Crusaders started the contest on a 14-2 run that included a run of thanks to a 14-2 run to begin the game.

Belmont Abbey held a strong 45-18 advantage in rebounding. Autry led the Crusaders in that category while Sydni Clawges added six rebounds in the win.

Winter is a time for repose and reflection, and many gardeners take to bird feeding to fill their need for color, texture, and interaction with their landscape. Feeding birds can really turn into a good wholesome hobby for the entire family.
There are three main choices in food: large seeds, small seeds, and suet. Large seeds include black-oil sunflower, striped sunflower, safflower, peanuts, shelled corn, ear corn, and cardinal mixes that contain sunflower, safflower, and peanuts.
Birds that love sunflower seeds include Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, Black-Capped and Carolina and BlackCapped Chickadees, House and Purple Finches, American Goldfinches, Evening and Pine Grosbeaks, Gray and Steller’s Jays, Nuthatches, Crossbills, and Tufted Titmouse.
Peanuts provide a nutritious diet for birds, including Black-Capped Chickadees, Nuthatches, Woodpeckers, and Blue Jays. Even Northern Cardinals will come to a peanut feeder. However, these feeds also attract mammals including squirrels and raccoons.
Safflower seeds are not as attractive to these eating machines. Cracked corn and milo are attractive to house sparrows and starlings, which will discourage other birds from visiting your feeders, and are not recommended.
Small seeds include millet and Niger thistle. Millet sprinkled on the ground or in tray feeders will attract darkeyed juncos, mourning doves, and American tree, fox, Harris’, white-throated, whitecrowned and golden-crowned sparrows. Niger thistle will bring American and lesser goldfinches, common and hoary redpolls, house and purple finches, and pine siskins.
Many wintering birds also benefit from suet, suet mixes, and peanut butter, including pileated, red bellied, red headed, downy and hairy woodpeckers, chickadees, titmice, and nuthatches.
Water is critical to overwintering birds. Including a
Northern Cardinal
heated birdbath in your feeder set up will be an open invitation to a variety of birds. Don’t worry about birds freezing if they bathe on a cold winter day. This water is primarily for drinking. Include a variety of feeders; open or covered platform feeders, suet feeders, and cylindrical feeders will be attractive to a broad variety of birds. Place feeders close to protective cover and convenient for viewing from a window. The best feeder sites are downwind from the shelter provided by conifers, ornamental grass plantings, brushy shrub, or buildings. To avoid giving raptors or cats an advantage in catching birds, feeders should be at least 10 feet from the nearest cover where such predators could hide, like trees and deck railing. Use several feeder clusters of three or four feeders per cluster and a ground feeding site. Each cluster should include a variety of feeder types that offer larger seeds, smaller seeds, and suet.
Remember winter is a difficult time for birds. Days are often windy and cold; nights are long and even colder. The lush, berry-laden vegetation of summer and fall has withered or been consumed, and most insects have died or become dormant. Finding food can be especially challenging for birds during days with extreme cold temperatures. Setting up a backyard bird feeder makes their lives easier and ours more enjoyable. Just remember to clean feeders regularly to avoid spread of diseases between birds.

Last week the Stuart Cramer and East Gaston basketball teams both saw conference action. The Storm played three gamed while the Warriors played two.
Cramer won two out of three while EG won both of their contests.
East Gaston looked good scoring a pair of impressive wins over Thomas Jefferson in Southern Piedmont 1A/2A action.
The Warriors beat the Gryphons 55-35 on Wednesday and then came back on Thursday night to clip TJ again. This time with a convincing 69-45 victory.
In the first game of the week the Warriors set the pace early and kept up the pressure outscoring the Gryphons 14-7 in the first period and 15-6 in the second.
At the half East Gaston was up 29-13.
Thomas Jefferson managed to outscore the Warriors 13-12 in the third period, but that was about all the offense the Gryphons could muster. In the fourth EG continued the onslaught scoring 14 points to TJ’s nine.
Junior McKaskill Rivers was the game’s top scorer with 12 points followed by Trent Sherrill and Chauncey Creamer who each finished up with eight points apiece.
In the second matchup both teams started off fast and played well offensively. Going into the half East Gaston held a 32-25 lead.
That ended up being the closest the Gryphons would ever get. When play resumed the Warriors pummeled TJ. East Gaston really turned on the jets outscoring the Gryphons 25-6 in the third period.
As the game played out it was apparent that on this night Thomas Jefferson just couldn’t keep up as the Warriors rolled on for the win.
Sophomore Trent Sherrill was the Warriors top scorer with 22 points followed by McKaskill Rivers with 19 points. Rivers was also EG’s stop rebounder finishing the game with 11 boards.
Going into the final leg of the season the Warriors are looking pretty good. Head coach Eugene Farrar thinks his team is on track.
“We talk a lot about mojo,” coach Farrar said. “When we played Burns the week before I thought we were getting our mojo back. Then we played back-to-back against Thomas Jefferson and I saw we are playing with more swag.”
Playing with a bit of swag is something the Warriors will need to do as the regular season enters its final few weeks.
Going into this week East Gaston is sitting at 9-7 overall and 4-3 in Southern Piedmont 1A/2A conference play.
Right now things are still wide open in the Southern Piedmont and the Warriors will have every opportunity to make an impact.
“We’re playing a lot better defensively and offensively,” Farrar added. “I think we can make some noise in the conference.”
This week the Warriors will take on the 13-3 Bessemer City Yellow Jackets and the 9-3 Shelby Golden Lions.
Last week the Stuart Cramer Storm started the week with a loss against Crest and finished up with back-to-back wins over Hunter Huss.
In the Crest game the Storm played the Chargers tight outscoring them in two

However, in the second period Crest played exceptionally well outscoring Cramer 18-8. In the long run those 10 points gave Crest just the cushion they needed to stay ahead of the Storm.
The Chargers stayed the course for the rest of the game and left the court with a 77-70 win.
Senior Will Kelly had a phenomenal game scoring 40 points in a losing effort. Kelly also led the team with nine rebounds.
The Crest lost stung, but head coach Brad Sloan made sure his team remained focused. He knew there were still games to play that week and he also knew his team would get another shot at the Chargers.
“There’s a lot of basketball left to play,” Sloan said. “We knew the Crest game would be tough. Now we have another shot at them coming up and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
After losing to the Chargers the Storm shifted gears and got set to play two games against Hunter Huss.
Going into the first Huss game Cramer was ready. However, no matter how ready the players were, the Storm still needed to deal with a bit of history.
In nine seasons of varsity ball Cramer had yet to beat the Huskies. Yet on Wednesday night all of that would change when the Storm tore into Huss breaking the losing streak with an impressive 75-50 win.
Once again Will Kelly led the Storm’s offensive effort with a game high 40 points followed by Jacob Joyner who finished the evening with 21 points.
Defensively John Hill led the way with 11 rebounds while Owen Sloan and Will Kelly each had four steals apiece.
In Friday night’s rematch Will Kelly showed that given the opportunity he can be a one-man wrecking crew. Kelly scored 50 of Cramer’s 85 points as the Storm laid waste to the Huskies in a big 85-67 win.
“It’s tough to be beat a team twice,” coach Sloan stressed. “We had never beaten Huss before so Wednesday was about breaking the streak and Friday was about starting a streak of our own.”
When coach Sloan said there was a lot of basketball left to play, he wasn’t kidding.
Right now, Cramer is 15-3 overall and 6-3 in Big South 3A play with five regular season games left on the schedule.
At this stage anything is possible when it comes to the Big South 3A. Taking the conference is going to be tough, but Cramer has the tools and the talent to make a go of it. This week the Storm has league games slated against Ashbrook, Crest and Kings Mountain.
