Mt. Holly Black History Forum one of the best ever By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
The 17th annual Mt. Holly Black History Forum was held last Sunday in the Grand Hall of the Municipal Complex and as the standing room only crowd proved was one of the best ever. The Black History Forum was the brainchild of the late Mt. Holly African-American leader Jim Hope and a handful of other folks determined to preserve and perpetuate the history and heritage of their people past and present. Each
year since its inaugural event, the Black History Forum has presented in music, word, and deed the legacy and lore of local African-America excellence. This year’s event offered a spectacular array of presentations. The event kicked off with a welcome by Mt. Holly city manager Danny Jackson who correctly declared “There are so many beautiful people here.” Several speakers addressed the crowd with remarks outlining the trials and triumphs of the African-
American experience. Kings Mtn. High standout student Kennedy Barnes gave an impassioned oration using quotes from Maya Angelou and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to illustrate the pride and power she feels from her heritage. Special guest speaker Valerie Melton traced her own journey from the blue collar Mt. Holly neighborhood she grew up in to her current position as an advocate for black college students. Melton focused many See FORUM, Page 3

Beth Kendrick retiring after 40 years of teaching dance By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Beth Kendrick is retiring after four decades of sharing the joy of dance with Belmont Parks and Rec. students. Her motto? “At the age of four I
wanted no more than to dance my life away. My dream came true, and my wish for you, is a life fulfilled each day.” A native of Danville, Virginia, Kendrick, whose students have been known to call her “Betherina”, may have been teaching dancing
for a long time, but her love of the art goes all the way back to her own childhood. Her first lessons began when she was just six years old in Danville. She continued taking ballet, tap, and jazz lessons there at the Anne Boyer School of Dance for 16 years. See DANCE, Page 9
The third annual Mt. Holly Lantern Parade will be stepping off later this year, but work on the project has already started. A couple of weeks ago, a group of around fifty folks got together at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Mt. Holly for the first of what will be several lantern crafting workshops to be held over the coming months. Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress came up with the idea for the parade a couple of years ago. The first two parades doubled in participants and spectators who were agog at the fanciful and fantastic illuminated paper See LANTERN, Page 7

TODAY’S QUOTE:
OPINION
“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” - Mother Teresa
I have two women in my life and neither one wants me
My Opinion: Yum yum eat’em up
By Tony Marciano Well, the other Sunday when it was cold and dreary and I was engaged in yet another bout of cold and dreary Sunday afternoon recreational eating I began pondering what other famous folks enjoyed food-wise and what their eating habits wrought upon them so I did some sniffing around to see what some of my favorite folks in history liked to gnaw on. The German Romantic era composer Johannes Brahms was a skinny, baby-faced guy when he was younger (just like me), but when he grew older he gained weight (just like me and a lot of you’uns if you will admit it). Ol Johnny was born and lived his early life in Hamburg but when he moved to Vienna he made it a daily habit to swing by a joint called the Red Hedgehog for some serious eating and drinking German-style. I found out a typical lunch for Jo would be a big plate of boiled cabbage and meat, some Hungarian goo-lash, a loaf of bread, a big hunk of cake, all washed down with a half -gallon of beer and not “lite” beer either but that strong Bavarian wobblepop. Brahms also liked sardines and would eat a whole can of them and drink the oil they were packed in. You better bet that after that snack it was hazardous duty to walk behind him as he strolled the Uberstrasse. Brahms died of liver disease. Another guy I look up to is Robert E. Lee. My middle name is Lee. I was born on January 21 the same date as Stonewall Jackson so I am politically incorrect times two by birth. When Sharon and I were doing that Civil War reenacting thing we often traveled up I-81 through the Shenandoah Valley and we always stopped at Lee Chapel in Lexington, Va. where Bob and his family are entombed. It is a solemn and reflective place from a far distant era of being and thinking. Anyway, one of my favorite quotes was when someone asked Lee what he wanted “after the war”. Lee said “All I want is a little farm, a quiet place to ride my horse, and all the fried chicken I can eat.” An account from the period describes how Lee was often seen outside his tent with a fried drumstick in one hand and a biscuit in the other.
Lee died from clogged arteries. Now let’s beat on Teddy Roosevelt. As Alan Hodge a youth, Teddy, like Banner-News Editor Brahms and Alan, was rather slender in his younger days, but as time went on and Teddy plunged into recreational eating his waistline began to grow at a rate exceeding his fame as a Rough Rider and President. It is said that Teddy would eat about ten fried eggs, a pound of bacon and a big bowl of oatmeal for brekkers and wash it down with a gallon of strong coffee. For lunch he would tear into a roasted chicken and a big pie and a dozen rolls. He washed that down with more coffee. Dinner would be some roast beef and taters and a big ol’ cake. I would hate to think what his grocery bill was. I bet when all that caffeine got going in Teddy’s system he was bouncing off the Oval Office walls. Bully!! Teddy also had clogged arteries. Finally, we have someone in the so-called modern era known for his love of eatingElvis. Now, The King is said to have consumed 10,000+ calories per day. One of his favorite foods was a bomb called a Fool’s Gold Loaf consisting of a hollowed out loaf of sourdough bread, stuffed with an entire jar of peanut butter, an entire jar of grape jam and a pound of bacon. Not forgetting margarine first. And deep-frying it afterwards. Elvis was also partial to breakfast with a half dozen fried eggs, some fried biscuits, lots o jam, and plenty of fried bacon. Elvis was a hunk a hunk of burning bacon. Elvis died of a heart attack seated upon the throne of knowledge. Why am I telling you this? Why am I thinking about it? Why am I fat shaming myself too? To spread the word- ease up on the grease!
My assistant Pam and I were working on a project. I turned to her and said, “It is true that you said to my wife, I would never marry him, and my wife Dot said back to you I would never work for him.” Pam enthusiastically said yes! I was dating my wife when we were both attending ministry preparation school. There was a push by the denomination who sponsored the school that you marry someone who would make a wonderful assistant. The idea was that the two of you would serve together or co-labor side by side in either the church or other ministry opportunity we would be appointed. By marrying someone who would make a great assistant, you could climb the ladder and be appointed to more demanding roles of responsibility and leadership. If you’ve read my column for any amount of time you know that I bucked that mindset. I wasn’t going to marry an assistant. I wanted to marry someone who was the love of my life. I wanted to marry someone who would make me stupid in love, not someone who could run programs or handle administration. My leaders shook their head at my response. When we graduated and were appointed to our first ministry assignment together, I quickly learned that I had married a wife and not an assistant. My wife doesn’t do well in office procedures. It’s just not in her wheelhouse.
Balancing act By Allison Bansen I was sitting upstairs this week with my youngest son Lane. He just turned three and loves to play dress-up. I had just sat down with my meal that I had burned because I couldn’t stay by the stove long enough to get it done without running around chasing him. One second away from him and he has his finger in the plug or worse. He is my very own real-life Dennis the Menace. I had the opportunity to spend some time with my youngest alone which is rare because this week was big for Boy Scouts. It was Derby week. Now Derby week in Belmont is like no other. It is like a NASCAR event without the sweaty crowd. There are balloons, neon lights, DJ’s, confetti and it is amazing! If you haven’t attended one you

of her remarks on the importance and impact that the Historically Black Colleges and Universities program has had and continues to have on African-American students. “Education is the great equalizer,” Melton said. As it traditionally has, the Black History Forum also featured plenty of soul stirring music. Groups including the Wesley Chapel Choir, the Mt. Calvary Men’s Choir, and the 3M Production singers belted out a number of lively tunes that had the crowd up on their feet and clapping their hands. The event concluded with an interesting and thought
provoking skit that depicted The Mt. Calvary Men’s Choir and Heavenly Horns performed at the Black History Forum. an interaction in the Montgomery, Alabama jail where Dr. Martin Luther King was being held back in the early 1960s. The scenario acted out the thought provoking and dramatic interplay between Dr. King (played by Johnnie Walker), a white jailer (played by Richard Meier), and a white minister played by Bill Reilly).

Elements of Empowerment reading program a success February was the perfect time to share a story that celebrates Black barbershop culture, so Elements of Empowerment, Inc. did just that, They enlisted Donavan Moonie to read Crown: An Ode To The Fresh Cut by Derrick Barnes. Barnes wrote the story from his perspective as an 11-year-old. He “wanted to capture that moment when black and brown boys all over America visit ‘the shop’ and hop out of the chair filled with a higher self-esteem, with self-pride, with confidence, and an overall elevated view of who they are.” Moonie, a senior at Hunter Huss High School, related to the story and read it in a way that fully articulated the feelings that Barnes described in the book. He followed the reading with an original rap performance. The multi-
talented Moonie previously displayed his rap skills at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, during the Charlotte run of Hamilton. Of that experience, he said “I still remember how I felt when I found out, where I was, and what I was wearing.” His future plans are to use his talent in a positive manner and inspire others to do the same. Elements of Empowerment, Inc. presents Cultural Readings & Rhythms From The Rocker in partnership with Gaston County Public Library. The free program fosters cultural awareness, acceptance, and preservation through the sharing of literature and music from a culturally inspired, custom-painted rocking chair. The next reading is March 21, 2020 at 11 am at the Main Branch.

CaroMont Health another step closer to building Belmont Hospital CaroMont Health is another step closer to building a new hospital in Belmont. The Gastonia-based health system has learned the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services approved its Certificate of Need application to construct and operate a second hospital near the campus of Belmont Abbey College. The last hurdle, a 30-day appeal period, is expected to bring a final decision on the project as early as March. “We are pleased the Department of Health & Human Services agrees that CaroMont Health is the best choice to build and operate this hospital,” said Chris Peek, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The significant growth happening in the eastern part of the county and the advancing age of the patient population means CaroMont Regional Medical Center-Belmont is critical for the future of Gaston County. The outpouring of support we have received from community leaders, employees and patients has been incredible.” Indeed, since announcing
plans to build a second hospital last May, CaroMont Health has collected more than 100 letters of support from business leaders and private citizens, with physicians and medical groups leading the charge. “ T h i s project is also important for the continued growth Architect’s rendering of our medical community,” While services are still said Peek. “Physicians and being planned for CaroMont providers are eager to bring Regional Medical Centermore services and more Belmont, the hospital will technology to their patients, offer an emergency departand this expansion will sup- ment, inpatient units for paport continued growth in our tients requiring admission or clinical programs.

Medical office buildings for outpatient services and physician offices are also planned for the campus. Assuming receipt of the CON in March, the hospital could open as early as mid-2023. “This an exciting time for CaroMont Health and Gaston County,” said Peek. “CaroMont Regional Medical Center-Belmont is a large
part of the $300M capital investment we shared last May, but we are also planning to open physician practices in Cramerton and Belmont and add a critical care tower at the main hospital. Each of these projects enhances access for our patients and helps the system provide exceptional care – right here in our community.”

and wire creations that ranged from dragons to a large Cinderella carriage piloted by a real live child. “The church let us use a space which was fabulous of them,” Andress said. “We had participants from Mt. Holly, Shelby, Cherryville, Charlotte, and Columbia, S.C. They found out about the workshop through social media.” Andress instructed lantern makers with help from last year’s third place lantern contest winner Meghan Burney. “This year’s lanterns will be great,” Andress said. “Participants got so much done at the workshop. They are making a tiger, clowns, cotton candy, and a seal
among other things,” she said. “They will look spectacular.” Anthony Stamey from Charlotte was at the workshop. “The lantern workshop was an ideal way to spend a Saturday,” Stamey said. “As a Charlotte resident, it was nice to get out of the city bubble and spend some time in downtown Mt Holly learning a new skill. The collaborative spirit of the participants and Emily’s enthusiasm were contagious. By the end of the workshop, we had learned the building blocks for creating the wire foundation of our lanterns and best practices for lighting and papering our designs. Overall, aside from
learning lantern building techniques, it was a breath of fresh air to meet new people and be a part of this cultural gem in Mt. Holly!” As in the previous two parades, local schools will be making lanterns and marching them down Main St. “Schools taking part include Ida Rankin, Pinewood, Mt. Holly Middle, and East Gaston, to name a few,” said Andress. “We will have a workshop for teachers in late May.” Overall, this year’s Mt. Holly Lantern Parade is shaping up to be the biggest one yet. The next workshop will be held April 18th, 2020 at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Mt. Holly.

What’s going on? By: Shelton Fisher
Mary Armstead from Shelby got a good start on her clown lantern at the workshop.
Workshop attendee Ashleigh Kemp from Mt. Holly and the frameworks she started for what will be a large tiger lantern.
I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of movies or read books where the protagonist leaves their childhood home only to return years later, finding that it looks nothing like it once did and realizing that a lot of the people they once knew have gone. They return to their childhood home and find their old things and memories scattered about and see a few familiar, yet weathered faces who have become weary of the changes that have taken toll in their lives. There are recent events that have placed me in the shoes of that certain protagonist (another story for another time; I promise that you’ll love it!) and although I have driven through Mount Holly and visited Riverbend every so often, I realized that I had never really stopped to take notice of the actual growth that has taken place in my humble hometown. While the scenario above may be a bit dramatic, there are a few things you must understand. As a child, I went to Pinewood Elementary School and my home was along Lucia Riverbend Highway. There were a lot of my friends who went into town on a regular basis because their parents would do their banking at the Wachovia (yes, I’m that old) across the railroad tracks from the Mount Holly pet store. If we were going into town for something however, we were on a mission. Every once in a blue moon we would take a notion to ride to the two grocery stores our humble town had to offer, but I bet that you’ll never guess where they were. The Food Lion we have all known and grown accustomed to didn’t always used to stand along Highway 273, but at the bottom of the big hill on Highway 27 where Bargain Hunters is, and Victory Chevrolet used to wheel and deal. The other option was Jones Brothers Super Market, which has been long gone for decades. Speaking of gone for decades, there also used to be a Hardee’s where Vasileio’s now stands that first introduced me to sausage gravy and hash-rounds. I promise there is a point to all of this! With the recent weather taking its toll on one of Mount Holly’s major bridges,
more of the traffic flow has been directed towards downtown. I have passed through a lot recently and can’t Shelton Fisher help but be taken aback at just how much business is booming in what once seemed like a ghost town as a child. Sure, I knew there were businesses that were open and had been there for a long time, but through my eyes as a child I can honestly say that I don’t remember ever seeing people walking in town with somewhere to be, or just simply shopping in a local shop. Now seeing restaurants, stores, salons, bakeries, coffee shops, and so much activity, I’m kind of floored (in a good way). Perhaps we aren’t far from getting back to the way things were when Earl Painter Handyman Extraordinaire would “thumb into town” to go see a movie in the Mount Holly Theatre or go to buy some candy way back in the day. On the contrary, there is a lot to be said about the growth of the community. I have been coming home to Riverbend a lot more frequently than I once had been and it hurts my heart to see all the land that has been cleared. Once you could drive down the long stretch of 273 where your tires hug the curves in the road like an old friend and the trees would extend a warm welcome, as you finally left the cities and towns behind. The only problem now is that the trees aren’t there anymore. The woods where I used to play as a child are now property of Mountain Island Charter School and have been turned into ball fields, fully equipped with stadium lights and all the traffic to boot. I also drove down Lucia Riverbend Highway and found all those woods cleared out as well. It leaves me to wonder what is to come of the land and how long will it be before the residents who have built their lives here will be swallowed by the clearing. What are just houses to some, are history to others. I feel that while growth is a great thing, it’s important to not forget what we love about this area in the first place and the foundation it was built on.

DANCE From Page 1
Kendrick expanded her horizons by studying art history in Italy and Spain. She attended Stafford College for three years. In 1975, she graduated from Averett College with a degree in Humanities, Philosophy, and Theology. As time went by, Kendrick danced with the Charlotte Ballet Co. from 1979-1981. She also studied at the Broadway Dance Center in New York. Her dance teaching credentials include Cramerton Rec. Dept., and several local church day cares. Kendrick also penned a dance related children’s book “Lizzy Bear”. Kendrick began her long association with Belmont Parks and Rec. after filling in for, then taking over from, her dance instructor predecessor Joann Nichols who opened Dance Specialties. How many students does Kendrick reckon she’s taught at Parks and Rec. and elsewhere?
“Miss Beth” 1958.
Kendrick taught students of all ages including these little girls back in 2004. Photos provided “Thousands,” she said. Kendrick’s philosophy regarding the connection between dancing and life in general was central to her instructing the steps and moves. “I taught my students that they are individuals, but in class they are also part of a group,” she said. “I wanted to boost their self esteem, make them feel important, and leave with a smile on their face even if they had been having not their best day when they came in.” Kendrick’s four decades of work saw her become a “generational teacher”. She has several large notebooks filled with dance class and recital photos going back many years. “I had students who were the children of former students,” she said. “I still stay in touch with many of them.” Parks and Rec. director Zip Stowe praised Kendrick and the contributions she has made to the community as a whole and her students indi-
vidually. “Beth has been tremendous as a role model for the kids,” he said. “She has been fabulous and dedicated all these years. I have seen this with my own eyes.” Now that retirement time has come, Kendrick plans to relax. “Teaching has been absolutely delightful and I have been very blessed to have been able to do what l loved doing,” she said. “Now, I’m going to spend some time digging in the dirt and watching flowers grow.” There are a couple of final phases in Kendrick’s dance career. On March 2 she was recognized by the Belmont city council at their meeting,. On March 21 at 4pm there will be a dance recital by her students held at South Point High with free admission. On March 26 from 4-6pm there will be a drop in event in her honor at the Parks and Rec, building located at 37 E. Woodrow Ave., Belmont.
Some of Kendrick’s students back in 2002. She went on to teach several of these dancer’s children.

Gaston County Police to host Identity Theft Seminar The Gaston County Police Department is proud to announce that they will be hosting an Identity Theft Seminar on March 14th at the Gaston County Citizens Resource Center in Dallas from 10AM to 2PM. The center is located at 1303 Dallas Cherryville Hwy, Dallas NC. Residents of Gaston County and surrounding areas, are invited to attend an education packed, one day seminar that will educate residents on protecting their identity. The seminar is a free event for anyone who would like to attend. Identity theft often tops the list of consumer complaints that are reported to the FTC and other enforcement agencies. Identity theft can be perpetrated using such low-tech methods as purse
on various crime prevention topics. We believe a one day seminar, would be a great way to provide multiple crime prevention strategies to a larger population of residents, all at one large scale event.” Free lunch, along with refreshments throughout the course of the event will be provided to all residents who attend. Although the event is free of charge, seating is limited. Those planning to attend are asked to pre-register for the event. To register or for more information, please contact Officer C.E.

snatching or “dumpster diving,” or high-tech techniques like deceptive “phishing” emails or malicious software known as “spyware.” Identity theft is a crime. Gaston County Police Officer C.E. Owens stated that “Education is Power! We are thrilled and excited to offer this free seminar that will educate residents in identity theft tactics.” Owens believes that taking steps to prevent crime before it happens, is key to crime prevention. The one day seminar will offer sessions on Identity Theft, Cybersecurity, Telephone Scams, and Scams & Fraud. When asked why the police believed the event was so important, Owens stated, “I’m often invited to speak to groups and organizations

Get out of your own way! By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
One thing my mom told me as a child, over and over again when I misbehaved, was “Jesus is watching you.” It was certainly a good way to keep me on my best behavior! More than that, it is a true statement. Jesus does watch us. God watches over us as we journey through this life. He has a plan and will for each of us. Unfortunately, we often get in the way of God’s plan for us. Numbers 22:20-35 records one of the most unique stories in the Bible. Israel, on the way to the Promised Land, had defeated nations that had risen against them. The nation of Moab feared the approaching Israelites. King Balak of Moab sent for a prophet, Balaam, to come and curse Israel for him. God allowed Balaam to go the king only if he did what God commanded. Balaam went, but God sent an angel to intercept him, because God knew Balaam’s real intentions to curse Israel. Balaam’s donkey tried to escape the angel three times, causing Balaam to strike her. God opened the donkey’s mouth, and the donkey condemned Balaam for striking it. God then revealed the angel to Balaam. The angel told him the donkey had saved his life
since he was sent to kill Balaam for his disobedience to God. Balaam repented, and did as God commanded. Balaam had become an adversary to God. He Rev. Trent Tankin traveled in the name of God, yet his life did not really reflect God. Have we become an adversary to God? We claim Jesus, but does our life’s journey show Jesus in our everyday walk? God is indeed watching our lives, just as He knew Balaam’s real intentions. We can hide much from others, yet not from God. Like Balaam, God will let us go and experience life on our own, yet we are not beyond God’s sight. God watches the life we lead, and will allow us to make our own decisions. What we must ask ourselves is this, is the road that we are on in life pleasing to God, or us? Balaam set out on his donkey to do what he wanted to do, not God’s will. As we each live our daily lives, are we giving glory to Jesus Christ, or are we seeking our own glory? It is easy to get lost in our own pursuits, but as Christ followers, our lives should show the light of Jesus to everyone we meet. May we get out of our own way, and let God lead. His way is always best. It leads to the feet of Jesus!

What to value about America By Lee H. Hamilton Sometimes, you just need to step back. The political conversations I hear these days are strikingly negative, and there’s a lot of discouragement out there. I’ve done my share of carping, too. But at times like these, I find it helpful to look for the positives, as a reminder not to lose sight of the benefits we all share as Americans. For one thing, in the great game of world politics I’m pleased to be able to identify with the United States. We have an economy that remains the envy of the world, and our overall performance — both political and economic — holds up well against our chief global rivals, Russia and China. Quite remarkably for a superpower, we have friends, allies, and partners whose ties are voluntary, based on shared ideals and values. We can always do better, of course. Some of our alliances have become frayed of
late, we may no longer be at the pinnacle of global power we once enjoyed. But we’ve been able to protect our standing without descending into outright war, and we can still have a profound influence for the better on the world around us. This is in part due to the nature of our democracy. Yes, I understand that as liberals, conservatives, and moderates all compete aggressively for power, sometimes the competition gets out of hand. But we also have a longstanding tradition of free and fair elections, a free press, separation of powers, the rule of law (though some of these are under stress right now) and an active civil society. All of these produce a feature of our democracy that constantly impresses me: our capacity for reform. If we make a mistake, which is hardly uncommon, we have the ability to correct it – usually by working through the system to change course.
This is why I don’t share the gloom I see in a lot of the predictions about where we’re headed. Since our founding we have striven to achieve “a more perfect union,” and though that goal has suffered setbacks and at times seemed beyond reach, over the course of our history we’ve always been able to advance toward it. It takes hard work to overcome the challenges and to bounce back, but our capacity for self-renewal is strong and no less vital now than it ever was. We should remember that. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar at the IU Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice at the IU O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.
Connect the Dots: It’s all about Him
Filters Tony Marciano wrote about car filters in his 9/19/19 Banner article. This got me thinking about all kinds of filters. HVAC, dryer, coffee and like the one in Tony’s gas tank, we have other filters we can’t easily see; and there are hidden ways of seeing too. Mothers often see their children in danger even when separated by miles and we also see with our minds. (Mind’s eye) To understand life I often try to make sense of it with a diagram. How may our minds be influenced; how can our minds “see?” If we consider our souls as comprised of our mind, will and emotions and we view those as three intersecting circles, we can begin to understand how different inputs can color the way we think or perceive ourselves and our world. For example, if I am a 40 year old divorced male being set up by friends on a date and I fizzle out on the date I may well fall into a depressingly emotional rut because I read and believed the flawed and exaggerated 1986 Harvard/Yale marriage study and now have proof positive that I’m washed up. What, in sharp contrast, would God want me to do? Instead of hiding in a self-constructed rut, which my pastor noted is a “grave with the ends knocked out,” let’s filter out cruel words or thoughts and press ahead toward improvement that is multi-dimensional on all 50 or more positive character traits. Let’s look at three. Decisiveness means not looking back on past failures. Know they’re there but don’t view them as barriers but rather springboards and let God show us our path forward. Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive

it?” Contentment is another one especially as we get older. Embrace all aspects of life and make the most of every Dennis Siracusa phase; 1Timothy 6:8 NLT, “so if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.” Determination centers on believing God, not what well-meaning authors or friends say. Psalm 119:28 NIV, “My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.” During my early life I looked for shining examples to pattern myself after. I sought examples within several cults, within the pages of books, and even with Hal, one of my IBM mentors. Sadly Hal died with nary a ripple in my world, and all other potential character resources proved to be deceptive illusions, all until I met Jesus Christ. He alone fills all character traits perfectly and consistently and He alone is an eternal example and pattern for us. And don’t you know that our enemy Satan is diligently working in the spirit realm to wreck our lives. In John 10:9-10 NIV, Jesus tells us “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Jesus is the firm foundation. He alone! If we truly desire to live life fully alive, the only way to do that is by uncluttering our minds with wise filters and hanging onto the Lord for dear life.

32nd Annual Belmont Sports Hall of Fame Banquet held By Stan Cromlish The 32nd Annual Belmont Sports Hall of Fame Banquet was held on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, in the Family Life Center of Park Street United Methodist Church. Long-running 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 a welcome addition to the annual festivities. Before the evening’s ceremony began, Joe welcomed all the visiting local and state dignitaries including the Mayor of Belmont, City Council members, Gaston County Commissioners, District Attorney Locke Bell, and all local middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes and coaches in attendance. Perry Fewell, Belmont Sports Hall of Fame inductee and former Carolina Panther Head Coach, was in attendance along with other local Belmont sports legends. Steve Hannon, Jerry Haney as well as other Belmont Sports Hall of Fame inductees attended this year’s annual banquet. The banquet opened with the National Anthem sung by Miss Lydia Crawford. Reverend Joe Lawing 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 every year has to be the dessert, home-made banana pudding, which tends to disappear; sometimes, even before dinner is served. Due to a family emergency, Julian Rauch was unable to attend this year’s banquet and introduce the keynote speaker, former Appalachian State University Head Football Coach, Jerry Moore. But, Julian’s grandfather and former North Carolina State Senator, Marshall Rauch, stepped in and gave a great introduction of his friend. Coach Moore spoke extemporaneously about what it takes to succeed in life and coaching. To succeed in life, we must always be intentional with our actions and be ready to lend a helping hand or a gentle nudge to those who need it. His address led perfectly into the induction ceremonies of Pam Smith, Shelley Frye Keen, Don Davis, and Joe Messer. The first inductee was Pam Smith, an all-around athlete who excelled in basketball, tennis, swimming, and
softball. Her speech touched on family and how when she first got to McAdenville from West Tennessee, she didn’t know anyone, but quickly made friends. She spoke of the McWhirter family who moved along with Pam’s family when the Pharr’s offered their fathers jobs at Pharr Yarns. Her volunteerism shined through when she talked about Altrusa and its annual shoe donation along with the time spent on the Board of the Pharr Yarns Family YMCA. Tears were shed for her teammates and coaches who helped her succeed and pushed her to greatness. Joe Lawing took a little longer introducing Shelley Frye Keen, mainly because she is his first cousin and family ties run deep in Belmont. Shelley spoke more about what Belmont stood for in her eyes because she stood out on Left to right: Charlie Martin, Chad Duncan, Locke Bell, Gary Henry, Butch Adams, and Dan Blair. the football field as the only Photos by Roxann Rankin girl who played flag football and Little League baseball growing up. Belmont’s parents and other kids accepted her as one of them in sports dominated by boys, and she never felt like she did not belong nor was she ever singled out because she was a girl. Her parents, coaches, teammates, and peers encouraged her and congratulated her in good times and bad and her athletic ability really showed through during high school. The takeaway from Shelley’s induction speech was that we should all strive to support all those people who are chasing Coach Jerry Moore with Pam Smith. Coach Jerry Moore with Shelley Frye Keen. Jerry Moore with Don Davis. their dream. In Don’s introduction, Joe Lawing mentioned - just as Jerry Moore mentioned in his keynote address - the quote Don gave about growing up in a time when you could tell the season by the sport being played. Don spoke of his Teener League teammates and all those who helped him succeed and those coaches who taught him the work ethic that he has passed down to the teams he coached in Seneca, South Carolina where he moved after graduating from the University of Jerry Moore with Perry Fewell. Jerry Moore poses with Senator Marshall Rauch. North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Don reminded all of us that we should do our best and give 100% in everything we do in life; just like the coaches taught him some 50 years ago. Joe Messer was the final inductee of this year’s ceremony and his induction speech was filled with a lot of humor, reminiscences, and tears. At 90 years old, Joe has shared a lifetime of memories with an entire community, and what stood out to the gathered group was that he truly loved Belmont and its children. When asked how he became the Big Red Booster Club’s biggest supporter, he said, “because I said yes when they asked me to do something.” Saying yes See HALL OF FAME, Page 15 2019 Belmont Sports Hall of Fame.

HALL OF FAME From Page 14 to those in town who asked for a volunteer, put Joe in the right place at the right time to influence many youngsters growing up in Belmont. From Little League President to the voice of the Red Raiders, Joe said ‘YES!’ to helping when asked and we could learn a lot from how he lived his life. He concluded his speech by thanking his family who came ‘home’ to see him recognized.
Sport’s best and Belmont stood front and center as a community that honors all its heroes. As the 32nd Annual banquet closed and the curtain came down, the inductees stood proudly among their lifelong supporters, family, and friends. The camaraderie and fellowship of the evening will be long remembered by these most recent inductees in the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame.
The smiles and tears once again proved 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 the attendees and volunteers who had made this evening special and congratulated Pam Smith, Shelley Frye Keen, Don Davis, and Joe Messer on their induction. Once again this was an evening honoring Belmont

Mountain Island makes Elite Eight By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
So far so good for the Mountain Island Raptors basketball team. After going 14-0 in league play and amassing a 17-5 in the regular-season record the Raptors are now on to the regional semi-finals of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association NCHSAA 1A playoffs. The Raptors drew the 3rd seed of the 1A West and are rumbling into the playoffs riding a 10 game win streak. In the first round, the Raptors took on Carolina International. This wasn’t the first time this season that these two teams had met. In late January the Raptors played the Comets and lost 74-57. That January loss was the last time the Raptors lost a game as MI returned the favor in the rematch rolling past the Comets 83-69.
Mountain Island’s top scorer was Demetrius Washington with 25 points followed by Najee Steward with 21. In the second round, Mountain Island faced off against Queen’s Grant a fellow PAC7 1A conference foe. The Raptors had no problem getting past the Stallions 86-67. Once again Demetrius Williams led the scoring effort with 23 points followed by Anthony Phillips with 19 and Najee Steward with 13. Also putting in a good night’s work was Marquis Williams who ended the game with 12 points and 12 rebounds. In the third round, the Raptors remained hot taking out the Starmount Rams 8063. With that win, the Raptors move to the regional semifinals otherwise known as the “Elite 8”. Getting this far is a big
honor. Now MI will face their toughest challenge as they battle the Winston Salem Prep Phoenix. The Phoenix are tough with a 20-8 record. WinstonSalem Prep comes from the Northwest 1A, a conference where only two of the conference’s six schools posted a losing record. Mountain Island head coach Robert Price knows that the Raptors up against in Winston-Salem Prep. Price and his team respect the Phoenix, but MI is not going to go down without a fight. Coach Price has gone over game film and thinks the Raptors match up well against Winston-Salem Prep. “From the film I watched I think we can play with them,” Price said. Peaking at the right time is important in any playoff run. The 10 game win streak has allowed the team to gel and work together better. The Raptors have seen their con-
fidence grow as the year has gone on. “I think the team, in general, has really started to believe we could play with anyone,” Price added. “We have an all-conference backcourt in Demetrius Washington and Anthony Phillips.” While Washington and Philips are blue-chip players they are not the only weapons MI has. Marquis Williams and Najee Steward are significant contributors as well. When the Raptors take the court against Winston Salem Prep they will be getting an added boost with the return of one of their top players, center Gabe Stephens. “We’re getting our center back,” coach Price said. “Gabe Stephens has been out for the last three games.” With Stephens return, the Raptors should be at full strength and ready to go. Look for this to be a good game.

The first round proves tough for many local teams By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Many local teams made an early exit from the North Carolina High School Athletic Association NCHSAA basketball playoffs. Three men’s teams and two women’s teams earned bracket spots. Only the Mountain Island Charter men’s team made it beyond the first round. Atkins 72 South Point 56 Despite losing in the playoffs the Red Raiders men’s team had a good year going 18-10 overall. That 18 win total tied the school record set during the 2017-18 season. This year South Point showed that they could light up a scoreboard. Unfortunately, there were times the Red Raiders were inconsistent and that cost them big time. The Red Raiders should be strong next season. South Point has done a good job in recent years developing their young talent and restoking their varsity roster. The South Point system has served the Red Raiders well. South Point has now posted four winning seasons in a row. South Point will lose Cam Dyer and Grayson Hanson to graduation but have Logan Threatt and Ayden Baker are returning Salisbury 55 East Gaston 33 The Lady Warriors drew
the 32nd seed in the 2A West. That meant a road trip to number one seeded Salisbury. While Salisbury was a tough draw EG played surprising well. “I thought we played really hard in our loss to the number one seed Salisbury,” head coach David Handsel said. “The final score of us losing by 22 didn’t really indicate how close we were at times.” In East Gaston, Salisbury faced a team that had nothing to lose and was thinking upset. “We cut it to six in the third quarter,” Handsel explained. “But their outside shooting heated up with some threes, and we went cold.” Coach Handsel understood that to beat a team of Salisbury’s caliber it would take some extraordinary effort and then some. While the Lady Warriors definitely put in the effort they were just outgunned by the Lady Hornets. “When you are playing a team like Salisbury and get down double digits it makes things very difficult,” Handsel added. “I’m very proud of our kids, they fought till the final horn.” The season may be over but the Lady Warriors had a solid run. This year EG posted one of their best seasons in recent memory finishing up at 14-12. A quick peek at what’s coming next year looks even more promising. Coach Handsel is return-
ing and EG will only be losing one player to graduation. Add to that the fact that the Last Warriors will have high caliber players like AJ Price and Mikaela Boyd returning and it look like 2020-21 may be the year EG makes its mark. “I’m excited about next season,” Handsel stated. “We have all but one returning. We are going to work as hard as we can during the offseason to get as good as we can be. Cox Mill 92 Stuart Cramer 46 The Storm men’s team had to travel to Cox Mill in the first round. Sophomore Will Kelly played well with 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists but Cramer fell short. A look back at the 201920 season shows that in many ways this was a coming of age of sorts for the Storm. Cramer finished the year at 12-14. Those 12 wins were the most ever in school history. All year Cramer has faced the fact that the nucleus of the team was built around a group of underclassmen. While it’s true this crew is young, they also showed they are very talented. “I’m really proud of our team and the steps forward we took this year in building the program,” coach Brad Sloan said. “We were the youngest team in the county and most people didn’t give us much of a chance at a successful season. My guys re-
fused to accept that and took on the challenge of competing against older more experienced teams night in and night out.” While there were definitely growing pains this year those experiences should help the Storm significantly next season. Cramer is losing Tyrese Jeffries to graduation but the team is loaded with the sophomore trio of Will Kelly Brenton Elliott and Derek Bradley all returning. “We gained experience and got better with each game and in the end, we were able to accomplish the first 12 win season in school history and the first state playoff berth in school history,” Sloan added. “With the core of our team returning for the next two years the future of our program is bright and we are looking forward to taking further steps forward reach new heights.” North Rowan 70 Mountain Island Charter 40 The Lady Raptors also fell in the first round. Mountain Island Charter’s season ended at 9-11. While the Lady Raptor’s finished under .500 this year there is a lot to be positive about looking at next year. MI should be stocked for next season with the team only losing Savanna Doyle. The Lady Raptors have a solid group next year. Look for Zahara Bichara, Kay Decker and Chloe Hatzopoulos to all return.

Student provides inspiration for iAccelerate Academy Student’s desire to get ahead in college inspires the creation of iAccelerate Academy. Annalise Froehlich graduated from high school in June 2019, and now, she’s a junior at Gardner-Webb University. Fortunately for her, she got a jump start on college after earning her diploma and an associate degree while at Ashbrook High School. Through its new iAccelerate Academy, Ashbrook is expanding the opportunity to more students, who, like Annalise, want to get ahead when it comes to going to college. Students in the college prep-themed Academy can complete high school graduation requirements and take Career and College Promise (CCP) courses offered by Gaston College. When they graduate, they can have an associate degree to go along with their high school diploma. Annalise says she began taking CCP courses to earn college credit, but when she realized she could go for an associate degree and enter college as a junior, she put in the extra time and effort to make it happen. “After I finished my first semester of CCP classes, I knew that I wanted to take as many as I could,” she said. “I worked very hard and even took some courses over the summer, but when I finished my degree, it was all worth it.” Annalise’s mother, Shannon, is a counselor at Ashbrook. She says that having an associate degree allows high school graduates to enter state-run universities and most private colleges as if they are transferring from the community college to the four-year institution. The
Gloria Zhang
Gaston Day student places in Science Fair Annalise Froehlich associate degree satisfies general education requirements and allows high school graduates to go right into their major or field of study. “Getting my associate degree in high school put me in the best possible position for college,” said Annalise. “I am taking classes in my major, already have plans for an internship, and will graduate in May 2021. With an associate degree, I look at it like half of my college is already paid for, and it did not cost my parents anything.” As a high school counselor, Shannon is responsible for advising students on which classes to take and helps them with possible college and career paths. She believes the iAccelerate Academy will prompt more students to pursue college credit and an associate degree
to gain an advantage and save money on college. Annalise’s experience inspired the idea for the iAccelerate Academy at Ashbrook, and she hopes students will take advantage of what the new program will offer. “I am grateful to Ashbrook for giving me a great high school experience. The best advice that I have for students who are going to college is to take all the CCP courses that you can. It will benefit you just like it has benefitted me.”
Congratulations to Gaston Day School junior, Gloria Zhang, for placing 2nd in our region in the UNC Charlotte Region 6 NC Science & Engineering Fair. Gloria’s project, A Comparison of Predictive Model for Depression Between Artificial Neural Network and Logistic Regression, is a formula she created predicting anxiety and depression. She will go on to represent the UNC Charlotte NC Regional Science & Engineering Fair at and the NC Science and Engineering Fair North Carolina State Science and Engineering Fair held at North Carolina State University in
March. The Center for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education at UNC Charlotte matches the STEM and education resources of UNC Charlotte to the needs of the surrounding schools to improve K-12 mathematics, science, and engineering
education in North Carolina.

Crusaders win over Mount Olive Romeao Ferguson and DeQuan Abrom (pictured) each tallied 24 points and Belmont Abbey posted a season-high field-goal percentage, lifting the Crusaders to a 110-95 victory over Mount Olive in Conference Carolinas men’s basketball action last Tuesday night. Belmont Abbey improved to 19-9, 14-6 with its seventh straight win, while Mount Olive falls to 16-12, 10-10. How It Happened Ferguson added six assists and six steals to his scoring total, while Abrom chipped in four rebounds, two assists and two steals. Bosko Bojovic added a career-best 19 points and eight boards, while Charles Solomon equaled his career-best of 17 points. The Crusaders hit 43 of 65 from the field for a season-high percentage of
.662. The previous best was .633 at King back in December. The Abbey held a 41-25 rebounding margin. The point total was the second-highest of the season, trailing 120 against Mars Hill in the season-opener. Belmont Abbey built 14-point halftime lead by shooting 68.6 percent (24 of 35) in the period. An 8-0 run turned a 21-16 lead into 13, 29-16 with 9:37 remaining. After Mount Olive cut the margin to six, 44-38 at the 3:02 mark, the Crusaders ended the half on an 11-3 run. In the second, a 63.3 percenteffort kept the Trojans at bay for the majority of the time. Eight straight points cut the margin to 78-70 with 10:19 to play, but a 7-0 Crusaders’ answer ended the threat. The biggest margin came at 20, 106-86 with just under two minutes remaining.

Abbey baseball tops Anderson The Belmont Abbey baseball team collected 15 hits on their way to a 13-5 win over Anderson last Wednesday. Six Crusaders had multi-hit games on their way to their sixth win of the year. The Abbey is now 6-10 as Anderson moves to 9-6. Highlights Adam Overcash (pictured) went 3-for-5 with two runs scored. Mason Dodd, Zach
Aehlert, Matty Bapst, Shannon Glover, and Justin Moran all had two hits in the game. Moran drove in four runs as Glover hit a two-run homer as a part of his three RBI. Crusaders starter Ryan Giberson earned his first win of the year pitching five innings allowing seven hits, five runs, with five strikeouts. Christian Mracna came on in relief picking up three strikeouts.
One of the obstacles that most hunters and fishermen dread is the wind. A light wind is not a factor – it’s even helpful, but a GARY MILLER windy day is burdensome to the fishermen and causes most game to stay out of sight. Most of the time, I complain about the wind like everyone else. But there are a few circumstances where the wind actually adds excitement to the hunt and gives me the edge. One of those circumstances is when I’m turkey hunting. As you turkey hunters know, this particular bird has excellent sight and can distinguish colors as well. The least movement will turn an otherwise successful hunt into a what-if story. When the wind is still, I’m still, but when the wind blows, I use the opportunity to do a little stalking. I can remember on one of these mornings, I was able to crawl within fifteen yards of nine jakes without ever calling. And after they recognized something was not right, they came closer for some investigation. I could almost touch them with the end of my gun. Now that was exciting. Many times, we assume the worst when the wind is involved. We use clichés like the “winds of change” or we offer encouragement by saying “keep the wind to your back,” as if a headwind is a negative thing. The truth is, most of our growth happens when the winds are against us. These gusts challenge our normal and comfortable way of doing things. They make us decide whether we will curse our circumstances or use them to find another way. They reveal to us our fears and our ability to adapt and overcome. They show us who or what is controlling our life. Perhaps the winds of difficulty are blowing against you right now. Perhaps it seems they are so strong your boat is standing still. It may be that God is simply causing you to move in another direction. Or it may be he is using these gusts to reveal to you a fear you need to relinquish. The wind can be your friend if you will always remember God is at its helm. He will determine its length and strength. He will use it to bring you new successes in different ways. And in doing this, he will cause you to have a greater trust in him.
