Mt. Holly hosts Living Legend Awards Gala By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
The City of Mt. Holly Grand Hall was the scene on Sept. 7 of the Kay Jackson Living Legend Awards Gala. The sold-out event honored three local residents for outstanding contribution to the Mt. Holly community. The Living Legend Awards is the creation of author, mentor, life coach and teacher Kay Jackson, wife of Mt. Holly city manager Danny Jackson. “The goal of the event is to celebrate, educate, and to honor those persons in our community who we consider to be our own legends,” Kay Jackson said. “They are defined as our own local treasures living among us who have made a positive difference in their communities and beyond. Their impact often goes under the radar in their calling, talents, and
field of work. They have modeled inspirational leadership among their peers. They are a portrait for our youth of the faith and hope that have brought us this far as a human race and to showcase people of color, specifically, in overcoming seemingly insurmountable circumstances in America.” This year’s Living Legend Award winners are Veronica M. Melton, Harry L. McDowell, and James “Tootie” Hogan. Melton was born and raised in Mt. Holly and is a 1972 graduate of Mt. Holly High. She was a member of the Mt. Holly High Homecoming Court, Student Government, Library Club And Junior Achievement. She was involved in Mt. Holly Parks and Rec., Community Action Program, and modeled at the Leader department store. In her senior year at Mt. Holly High, she took part in the
Miss Black NC pageant and was voted Miss Congeniality. She also rode on the Big WAYS float in the Mt. Holly Christmas parade. Melton worked for and retired from Clariant Corp after 47 years of service. She married to William Pratt and is the mother of two boys, Frederick and Travis, and the proud grandmother of six. Harry McDowell is a native of Mt. Holly and the son of Peg “Flowers” Brooks. McDowell is a writer, producer, director, and music director of 3M Productions, Inc. He also supports orphanages in Haiti. Some of McDowell’s writing includes Is Love Enough, In My Father’s House, Your Healing Is On the Way, The Porch, Don’t Tell Mama, Footsteps in the Dark, Pick Up the Pieces, Moving on Up, A Leak In the Old Building, Meet Me at the Rock, and Blind Justice. McDowell is also owner

Mt. Holly Historical Society opens church room exhibit by Janice McRorie The Mount Holly Historical Society formally opened its newest exhibit on churches in the Mount Holly community on August 27, 2019. This coincided with the Annual Meeting where the last year’s progress was reviewed and new board members were elected. Erin Ball, Archie Huffstetler, Sarah Springs and Annette Williams are completing their terms as board members. Will Crist, Tina LaBorde, Gloria Mack and Phyllis McConnell were elected to three year terms. Garrie Brinkley will serve a two year term. Think back about what life was like here in Mount
Holly in the mid-1800s. Gaston County had formed from Lincoln County in 1846. The Mount Holly Cotton Mill (still standing today) opened in 1875. Mount Holly, changing from the village of Woodlawn, became an incorporated town, formed by the NC Legislature in 1879. And yet, there were very few churches. That’s not to say there was no religion. Thousands of Scots-Irish (many who were also Presbyterian) came to the American colonies because the King of England attempted to force them to join the Church of England. The Potato Famine of 1845 sent many Irish Catholics to the colonies, seeking places to live and
raise their families. The First and Second Awakenings led to growth in the colonies for the Methodists and Baptists. German Lutherans settled by the thousands in Pennsylvania and New York, eventually moving to the south where land was more abundant and less expensive. Regardless of the denomination, families brought their religion with them. As Mount Holly grew, there was an increasing desire to gather with those sharing similar religious beliefs. Mount Holly was officially formed in 1879. At that time there were no formal church buildings within the town limits. Some local congregations met in a store See EXHIBIT, Page 5

Stowe Park provides inspiration for Gaston County Art Guild members By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Last Wednesday morning was a cool one in downtown Belmont made even cooler
by a group of Gaston County Art Guild artists who made a visit to Stowe Park and proceeded to create beautiful paintings there in the plein air style.
But wait. What exactly is plein air art? It’s a manner or style of painting developed chiefly in France in the mid19th century, characterized See GUILD, Page 4

OPINION
TODAY’S QUOTE: “One always measures friendships by how they show up in bad weather.” - Winston Churchill
Do you know how many filters are on your car?
My Opinion: Crunchies Well, I am calling this column “Crunchies” and here’s why. A long time ago my mom the late Dorothy Jean Smith etc. had a big grey cat with yellow eyes named JoJo. Now JoJo was a glutton and grew to enormous proportions feasting as often as he could on dry cat food we called crunchies. One fine day I went over to mom’s and caught Jigwee as we sometimes called him on the kitchen countertop “wearing out” a bowl of crunchies that he could not wait to get his lips on. Oh ye who have house cats don’t you know or maybe care they are on your dining room tabletops and kitchen countertops licking every square inch of their fuzzy bodies and casting their elliptical-pupiled eyes far and wide for snacks? Anyway I recall interrupting JoJo’s wrongful feast with a swift smack to which he jumped down and went slinking away giving me one of those “%&#@” looks that cats give when irked. Other creatures can become hooked on crunchies too. Last week, Sharon and I were talking about pets and their favorite foods. Crunchies came up on the menu. She related a very interesting tale. Once upon a time her father the late Irvin Brendle bought a Welsh pony named Apache. Well, that was the critter’s name but as far as I know not many Welsh folks have Native American ties but a name is a name as it suits you……dig? Anyway, Sharon told me that Apache was hooked on dry dog food crunchies. This was his fav fuel for hauling her brother Marcus around the Brendle estate on Lee Rd. in North Belmont. Marcus, as I was told, is the only person in the Brendle family brave enough to risk a ride on Apache. Anyway once again..Apache’s normal grub was grass from the lawn and hay but
when he would get a powerful hankering for crunchies and was going crunchies cold turkey he would come to the back door Alan Hodge and take his forefoot Banner-News Editor and kick the doorway bam bam bam to let everyone know he was crunchy-deprived and if he didn’t get his crunchy-fix he was going to burst into the house kicking as he went until the crunchytrove was handed over. I see myself in JoJo and Apache. If you are honest, you see yourself in JoJo and Apache. That is, you have your own crunchie fixation. For me, I have a raging sweet tooth. Sugar in all its forms is my crunchie-itis. Pie, cake, candy, cookies, sugary adult beverages of all sorts, you name it I crave it. What is your crunchie-clone? Fast food hamburgers? Fried chicken? Tater wedges? Day-glo green soda pop? Heaped up pizza? Banana splits? Come on, you know you love it all. But too many crunchies takes its toll. I know this because I take two kinds of diabetes pills a day. Too many crunchies made JoJo balloon up to pussycat Sumo wrestler size. I don’t know what crunchies did to Apache because I never met that gennelman in person but it could not have been good for him. As for everyone else, too many burgers, tater wedges, fried this that and the other all taste great but are bad news for anyone’s physiogamy. What’s a person to do about crunchie craving? Obviously, ease up. Just put yourself in JoJo’s place- one minute having a great time being a fat cat basking in a sunny window, the next day having a heart attack and dying under the house!
The gas gauge on my car stopped working. I added gas but the needle didn’t move. Thinking I didn’t add enough gas, I added more but it still didn’t move. I knew what the problem was. The car was 55 years old. The original gas tank had been replaced. The problem wasn’t the tank or the gauge. It was the sending unit inside the tank. We had to drain the gas, remove the sending unit and install a new one. I watched multiple videos on how to remove the sending unit. One presenter warned against using a screw driver. It could create a spark and the gas vapors would explode. We kind of sort of maybe followed those instructions. No, I didn’t blow up the garage. We spent more time trying to drain the tank because the drain plug was stuck. The first time (yes, we did this twice) we didn’t know we had to calibrate the sending unit. When we added gas, the gauge didn’t move. We drained it the second time (yes, the drain plug finally came out) and calibrated the sending unit so when it moved, the needle on the gas gauge also moved. I was amazed how corroded the old sending unit was. I’ve had the car 16 years and never replaced it. I am guessing that it was in the tank
tor. Why is all this “filTony Marciano tering” important? Years ago, I rebuilt a carburetor. When I opened it, there was mud inside of it. That dirt affected the performance of that car. There are also tiny crevices that will attract dirt and affect its performance. The same is true of our mind. There are ideas and comments from others that we think are innocent but can take us down the wrong path. Just like dirt in a fuel line, it’s the little pieces of dirt that slowly erode the performance of the car. Similarly, if you hang out with negative or critical people, the “dirt” in their fuel line will make you negative and critical. As my grandfather said, “Be careful who your friends are, you will become like them.” Scripture says, “Bad morals corrupts good behavior.” Keep your mind free of the things that will trip you up. And, keep your fuel clean. Otherwise, you’ll never make it to your destination. I’ll be back in two weeks. Until then, live well my friend.

A hurried life weren’t wasted years. God was developing important virtues in Jesus…patience and self-control. We’re moving at an unhealthy speed when we become more concerned with what we’re doing than who we’re becoming. It’s time to reflect on what a hurried life is costing us. Keeping up with the Jones’ next door...running to games, recitals, rehearsals, parties, and the list goes on. We rush to accomplish more.... only to repeat the same tomorrow. Feeling burned out isn’t a badge of faithfulness. Jesus spent quiet time alone for prayer and solitude. In these moments, we too, should be able to do the same. There will always be agendas and appointments to tackle. We can’t refrain from them; but we can slow down our pace. We must, otherwise we will allow our heart to continue be replaced by a schedule. A hurried life looks externally for answers to life’s
at least 20 if not more years. The mechanism was covered in rust and looked disgusting. More importantly, the plastic filter on the inlet tube fell apart when we removed it from the tank. Thus, the gas in the tank looked disgusting (yes, I used that word twice). We got it all together and the gas gauge worked fine. The engine did star, but there was one more problem we had to address. The fuel pump started to leak. They were just dribbles. I tightened up the screws and it appeared to improve, but it still leaked. On this car, the fuel filter is attached to the fuel pump. I figured that the fuel pump was so dirty, that fuel was squirting out along the gasket. My son and I replaced the fuel filter (second fuel filter so far in this story) and started the car. It ran great but the pump still leaked gas. I learned when the diaphragm starts to leak, there are two weep holes in the pump that allow gas to escape The purpose is to alert you the fuel pump is worn out. Besides the “sock” in the fuel tank and the filter on the fuel pump (which I didn’t know was there for 16 years of ownership), I have a 3rd filter just before the carbure-

Letter to the Editor...
We live in a fast paced world..now more than ever. With technology and the like, one would think our days would be carefree. I pondered this thought a few days ago as I drove through town. Having a few errands to accomplish, I couldn’t help but absorb the busyness all around me. Lines everywhere, rude drivers, the constant noise of heavy machinery; all the while, my music in the car became distant. All around us, we see people rushing through their day. A great example of rushing things is seeing holiday and seasonal decorations facing shelf by shelf...long before their due time. The speed of sound and time seem to be colliding. Let’s be honest, our pace is unhealthy. We accomplish more in less time, but at what cost? Jesus had a big mission to accomplish in a short amount of time..yet he didn’t let the problems of the world crush down around him. The 30

God’s pace looks internally for these answers. Much of what makes life meaningful, friendships, family, and community, need the very thing hurried people don’t have... time. Take your foot off the gas, because your life mat-
ters. The speed of life reveals the driver of your soul. Who is behind the wheel of your life? Let us be driven by God’s desires.. not by the world’s demands. “Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 Lisa Harper

Cramerton Fairy and Gnome Festival planned The Cramerton Community Committee does a free family event every year. In the past the CCC has painted rocks and fence pickets. This year the organization has decided to mix it up and is doing a Fairy and Gnome Festival at Goat Island Park. This is for children and adults. “Legend has it that long, long ago the Isle of Capricorn was home to fairies, gnomes and other magical creatures, but an evil witch conjured a spell that created a giant wave and flooded the Isle of Capricorn, washing away all of their homes. The fairies and gnomes love the Isle of Capricorn and want to call it home again, but they need our help. Gather your friends and
family, wear your wings and pointed hats, and join in on the Isle of Capricorn for the Cramerton Community Committee’s Free Fairy and Gnome Festival where participants will rebuild their village and celebrate all things magical. This fantastical event is all about the magic of nature, getting up close with the natural world and encouraging active, outdoor play. Children can forage in an enchanted forest and help construct homes for the fairies, trolls and gnomes that inhabit the island using all natural materials. There will be other enchanting activities such as face painting, crafts, story time and snacks. Bring a picnic and enjoy the beau-
tiful Isle of Capricorn while exploring all of the wonderful habitats that are created. Fairy, gnome, and other appropriate costumes are encouraged but not required. Eunice McSwain will be on site to take enchanting photos of the rebuilt village and the boys and girls who helped the fairies and gnomes return to their beloved Isle of Capricorn. Enchanting fun for all ages!” Construction will begin at 10 am; Story time with the Butterfly Queen will be 11-1; Judging and prizes for the 3 most creative construction awarded at 2 pm; Face painting, snack time, craft time will be all throughout the event.

by the representation of the luminous effects of natural light and atmosphere as contrasted with the artificial light and absence of the sense of air or atmosphere associated with paintings produced in the studio. It’s a painting executed out of doors and representing a direct response to the scene or subject in front of the artist having the qualities of air and natural light. The Stowe Park painters placed their easels in various locations throughout the park, grabbed brushes and paints, then proceeded to enjoy a creative and relaxing time with their fellow Gaston Art Guild members. One of the participants, retired school art teacher Gloria Brinkman, described what it is she likes about plein air art and the Gaston County Art Guild. “It’s wonderful to meet friends who share a passion for art,” she said. “Especially when it’s done outside.” Fellow artist Connie Snipes agreed. “It’s a great way to get your painting skills going,” she said. “Plein air art is about learning to see your subject in shadows and natural light.” Nina Zullo joined the Gaston Art Guild last April at the urging of friend Brenda Boston and was on the Stowe Park scene. “This is a great opportunity to get outside and get a better perspective of nature for painting,” said Zullo. Former guild president Cam Tracy set up her ease at the corner of S. Main and Myrtle Ave. “I love to paint outdoors
and we love Belmont,” she said. The Stowe Park plein air outing was just one of the many activities that the Gaston County Art Guild offers members. For instance, the group also headed over to the Schiele Museum Backcountry Farm area to paint rural scenes in the city. “Gaston County has so many amenities to offer for plein air painting,”said guild president Carol StoweRankin. “We also support local businesses by having lunch in our beautiful towns,” Stowe-Rankin talked about some of the other activities the guild has lined up. “Our fabulous program and workshops committee has come up with a year of exciting opportunities,” she said. “Our calendar is full of outstanding programs where you can meet new artists and try your hand at different ways of expressing yourself as an artist.” The guild is a non-profit with a long history. It’s been around been around since 1965 and is looking towards an even brighter future. “We want to grow membership, provide quality workshops and venues fo shows, and work with other nonprofits, all in an effort to perpetuate cultural growth and share art with a growing number of people,” StoweRankin said.

near the site of the Mount Holly Ice and Fuel Company, taking turns using the building. Some families traveled to churches in nearby communities or gathered with other families in their homes. As Mount Holly grew, the townspeople decided to build a church. All agreed that the new church would be dedicated, and deeded to the denomination that paid the most money towards the church. It was also agreed that all denominations could use the building for their services. No records exist to tell us how the building was actually used. The Lutherans, led by A.P. Rhyne and Ambrose Costner, raised $460 and therefore would own the building. The lot was donated by A.P. Rhyne where the “Union Church” was to be built; where the Lutheran Church is today. The Union Church, as it was known, was completed in 1881. There are no photographs or sketches of the building, but Mrs. J.A. Costner, know as Aunt Gertie to many, said this in a 1976 interview. “It was just a wooden building; looked sort of like a house over a river or something like that – if you have seen those covered bridges – looked like

Holly by members of the Mt. Holly Fire Dept. back in April, 2016. The display is available to the public for viewing. This photo shows MHFD chief Ryan Baker and the rails. Photo by Alan Hodge
individual. To be sure, even in the best of times democracies are imperfect. They too often wallow in political stagnation or gridlock. Issues that need resolution get batted back and forth for years. It’s far easier for opponents of a given approach to block it than for its proponents to enact it. Elections may give the people a voice, but they also serve as a de facto horizon, inclining political leaders to short-term fixes rather than investing in people, infrastructure, or other long-term goals. Yet even people who complain about their governments or their representatives rarely argue that they need a different system. Most citizens of democracies believe their countries are wealthier, less corrupt, more resilient, and more responsive than the alternatives, and that their deficiencies are correctable. They count themselves happier, healthier, and freer than they would be in any alternative. This is why, in the end, the discussion in the world’s traditional democracies is about how to make them stronger. It’s about fear of slipping into autocracy, not about the desire for autocracy. Among those who understand what it is like to live in a free society, democracy remains the system of choice.
A wave of protests is roiling Moscow. Millions of people, young and old, have been crowding the streets in Hong Kong. If democracy is on the ropes worldwide, as many voices currently insist, you’d have a hard time making the case from these headlines. In fact, at a time of concern and, in many quarters, cynicism about democracy and its prospects, they remind us of a basic truth: people want a say in how they’re governed. They prefer living in democracies. And when they don’t feel the popular Flight Out, and Final Desti- will can find expression, at nation. Tootie is the father some point conditions ripen to the point where, as in Rusof two, the oldest of six chil- sia and Hong Kong, they take dren, and lives in Mt. Holly. to the streets. Why is this? What do people value about living in a democratic system? Most of us who support democracy would argue that its key characteristics — openness, accountability, transparency, media freedom, responsiveness — improve the nation’s overall well-being. On the whole, democratic nations have stronger economies. They tend to be less corrupt. Citizens know where they stand because the rules of the road are set up to apply to everyone. They recognize the value and dignity of each

Meditations Embrace and affirm I gathered in the small barbershop surrounded by people I have never met until today. I shared a bench with a young lady and her partner. Across from us was another bench occupied by a young black woman and beside her was a middle-aged white male. Against the wall was a fifteen-year-old white female with her mother. Across the room was a 70ish white couple. To my right was a young black hip hop man with long dreadlocks and beside him was his daughter. Scattered throughout the area were law enforcement officers. And, so it goes around the room. We were a motley crew of sorts. The place was Headliners Barbershop in Cary, North Carolina. I sat not knowing a face or name, yet I felt the most comfortable and peaceful. A feeling I haven’t experience in a while, and I felt it among strangers. So, what compelled me to drive 2 ½ hours to Cary, North Carolina to attend a Rap Session with people I have never met? Earlier this year, I attended a seminar through Duke Endowment. Two of the speakers were Chief Godwin, Cary Police Department and Tru Pettigrew, coach, and motivational speaker. They shared a story of the barbershop community bridge-building between law enforcement and the minority community. It grew out of a place of distrust and anxiety to now a trusting and transformational relationship. What I experienced in Headliners should be replicated throughout our country. We were from different places in life. We were theologically, racially, religiously, and economically diverse. And we had the best time together. We laughed at ourselves, we shared moments of understanding, and we disagreed at times. Amid all our diversity, we remained united. We called ourselves the board room of America. What was it that united this diverse group of people? It was our seeking to understand each other and respect the other with
no judgments. We were open, candid, engaging. We allowed space for our conversations to be transformational. Rev. Angela Pleasants “Let your conver- District sation be always full Superintendent of grace, seasoned of Catawba Valley with salt, so that Methodist Churches you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6 NIV. As people who live in the love of God, our words should be filled with the grace of God. At the Rap Session, conversations were open, and we were willing to sit in that space with a heart that was engaged. When I shared my background and ideology, I was embraced and affirmed. Likewise, I embraced and affirmed others. That is the gift of reciprocity. We were not present to change the other person’s belief. We were seeking a way to live together, amid our diversity, in a way that builds relationships. Fear leads to distrust and causes relationships to deteriorate. Fear can distort how we see reality. When our reality is distorted, we move into behaviors to protect and deflect. When we feel threatened, we are prone to fight or flight. The first step is to recognize when fear is rising. Acknowledge the fear for what it is – it is uncertainty and the unknown. I entered the space being honest and open. I came with the intent of building relationships. I wanted to listen and share in the experience. I was seeking community, and I found it in Headliners. They allowed me to be my authentic self. Likewise, I received them in their authenticity. Can we replicate that same space in our communities? Only you can search your heart to determine if you are ready. It will begin by acknowledging our fear, setting aside our preconceived notions of others and learning to be comfortable in our uncomfortableness.

Connect the Dots: It’s all about Him
Just a little bit more I wonder how often I’ve heard the words “just a little bit more?” The first time I recollect, it startled me. A very rich man was asked “how much money is enough?” His answer an astonishing… “Just a little bit more.” Another time I well remember is when I had pulled a muscle in my back and my chiropractor connected me to an electric torture device that made my skin crawl. I know it was designed to make me feel better but it felt creepy none-the-less. “How much current can you take?” “Just a little bit more.” A third time was a recent question I asked myself. I had gotten up at 3am that morning and had a long day that was drawing to a close, in my office. I had methodically marked action steps off my work list all day but there were still items not dealt with. “I’m pretty tired, should I call it a day? No, let’s try to do just a little bit more.” What underlies each of these scenarios is choice and a spectrum of opposites at that; greed/generosity, endurance/laziness, goal setting/coasting. Life is full of choices isn’t it? They creep up, peek around every corner and always lay out a branched path that begs the question, “By what measure will we choose our course?” There exists a huge ocean of self-focused thinking variously called a secular worldview, or new age, or just plain goalless living. On the opposite spectrum lies the Christian worldview which is an integrated lens by which we view everything as God sees it. It is comprehensive and based on absolute truth from a biblical perspective. I often view these two perspectives in terms of dimensions. Secular thinking is flat and seemingly two dimensional where answers emanate from
us or what we believe and always end destructively. The Christian worldview appears multidimensional because life is considered from God’s perspective where there Dennis Siracusa is one true God; omnipotent, omniscient, eternal and involved in our lives. A powerful God who spoke all creation into existence and who has a purpose and role for each of us and where everything we see and know is divinely moving toward His overall kingdom purpose. Today we are inundated with two dimensional voices; ones espousing selfishness, universal tolerance, moral relativism, good best judgement, evolutionary godhood, and global unity. King David in Psalm 119 spoke about us needing to increase in our knowledge of the Lord and His Word, so we could live faultless, holy and pure lives. Ignorance of God and His Word leads to dominating sin, impure lifestyles, and evil of all sorts. Like what we see today; everywhere. Painfully, we all start out selfishly sinful, wasteful and lazy but, while we still draw breath, we can change and the Lord desires us to do so. In Dt 30:19 the Lord beckons with “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” 2 Peter 3:18 urges us to “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” With that knowledge in hand we can wrestle with life’s complicated issues and find and seek to choose the righteous path in front of us.

In the midst of the fire Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
Each of us in life, experience our own trials, sufferings, and sorrow. We may face the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, or maybe some other circumstance beyond our control. Everyone suffers in their own way. We all go through the fires of this life, yet when we have faith in God, we never go through life’s fires alone. Daniel 3:19-28 reminds us of a day when three young men faced the fires of this life. The Babylonian Empire and their king Nebuchadnezzar had attacked the tiny nation of Judah, taking some of the people captive, including Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Later, while in Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image and expected everyone to worship this image every time they heard the sound of the trumpets. Everyone did worship, except Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The king threatened to place them in a fiery furnace, to burn them alive, if they refused to worship his image. They refused, professing their trust in God for protection. The king in his anger, heated the furnace seven times hotter, and cast these three men inside. Miraculously, when the king looked in, he saw the three men, and a fourth that looked like the Son of God, walking unhurt. He had the men brought out, and they were totally fine, and did not even smell of smoke! The king proclaimed the greatness of their God, who had saved them from the evil king.
Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we will face the fires of this life. God in His will, allows us to go through many struggles and sor- Rev. Trent Tankin rows that are a part of a fallen world that Satan seeks to destroy. God allows us to pass through the fires, yet he does not let us go alone. Just as God walked through the fires of the furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, He walks with us too. Not only do we go through the fires with God, we also come out much stronger. These men proved God through their faithfulness. We come out of our fires, wiser, and with a deeper faith after seeing the love and grace of Jesus. Most of all, we come out of the fires of life with an incredible testimony. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire with a powerful testimony of the providence of God. Even the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar was awestruck by the God of these three men, and proclaimed God’s greatness and deliverance of His servants. Whatever it is we go through, when we endure through faith in God, we have a great story to tell others of what Jesus has done in our lives. Today you may be going through such fires of life, or you certainly will in the future. When these struggles come, trust in God and walk with Him. He will walk with you every step of the way. In the end, you will have a great story to tell of the love of Jesus!

She brings a lot of experience to her profession. “I’ve been a licensed massage therapist specializing in medical massage for 25 years,” Tullie says. “My mission as a massage therapist is to help people heal and improve their quality of life at an affordable price. I’ve helped countless clients effectively treat arthritis, sciatica, stiff joints and neuropathy. The heat and massage techniques that I use noticeably reduce or can even eliminate symptoms of all of these ailments.” Tullie is on top of technology related discomfort. “One of the emerging complaints that I’ve been treating lately is related to neck and wrist discomfort brought on from a modern life full of cell phone and computer use,” she said. “Massage is able to provide amazing relief from ‘text neck’ and ‘text claw’ and other computer and cell phone overuse injuries.” She’s also attuned to the needs of seniors. “A number of my clientele are senior citizens,” Tully said. “There have been many studies that show direct correlations between massage therapy for seniors and significant therapeutic
health benefits. Massage facilitates communication and relaxation and is considered an effective therapy in the treatment of Alzheimer’s patients. The natural lubrication of joints that occurs as a result of a massage assists in the management of pain associated with arthritis that often troubles seniors. As a massage therapist I am also trained to incorporate stretching during our sessions. The combination of stretching and massage results in an increased range of motion and a strengthening of muscles. People who regularly receive massage treatments report sleeping deeper and for longer, which gives the body the necessary time to repair and regenerate itself ultimately resulting in an improved state of overall well-being. Massage also improves posture and reduces tension that accumulates in the muscles over many years. This helps my clients avoid and manage painful age-related muscular skeletal conditions.” Tullie is passionate about the benefits of massage therapy. “Regardless of your age or whether or not you have an underlying medical issue that brings you in for treatment, massage therapy is amazing preventative and offers tremendous stress relief,” she says. “There’s an expression that says an ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure and that is something I’ve seen confirmed time after time in my career.” For Tullie, her profession helps her transform
Maureen Tullie lives. “One of my favorite hobbies when I’m not working is to go thrifting,” she said. “I have found such treasures in our local thrift shops for close to nothing. My favorite part is the transformation that happens with a little paint or wood stain or new fabric. I am struck by how my massage practice aligns with my love for thrifting. The relief that massage can provide is something everyone is hunting for and when you finally find it and see that it’s relatively inexpensive, you are hooked. The transformation that happens after a few treatments can’t help but make you smile. If you’ve never tried medical massage before please come see me. You won’t find a more affordable way to get such significant relief or an improved sense of well-being. My massages are usually $40 for 40 minutes or you can buy a package of 5 massages for $200 and get the 6th visit for free. Treatments longer than 40 minutes are also available. I can’t wait to meet and treat you.”
Schiele Museum Reptile & Amphibian Day is Sept. 28th On Saturday, September 28, 2019 scaly and slithering creatures will be featured at The Schiele Museum as the annual Reptile & Amphibian Day event returns for 2019. This family-friendly day of exploration gives museum visitors opportunities for upclose encounters with live snakes, alligators, turtles, frogs and other reptiles and amphibians from across the globe! Reptile & Amphibian Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Schiele Museum, providing an entire day of learning and fun for visitors of all ages. Exhibitors from around the region will bring a variety of live animals, specimens, and interactives for visitors to enjoy. The annual turtle races will be held throughout the day and visitors can cheer on their favorite turtles as they speed along the course. Other Reptile & Amphibian Day programs include a variety of hands-on activities and crafts. Plus, enjoy a stroll along the
nature trail in search of wildlife during an outdoor safari and meet museum scientists conducting research! “Reptile and Amphibian Day is a chance for our community to have fun while learning about ‘creepy’ nature like venomous snakes, alligators, snapping turtles, poisonous toads and more!” said Stephenie Berggrun, the Schiele Museum educator behind the event. “See and touch tons of live animals, play games and cheer on a turtle in our Museum turtle race. Conquer your fears and stop by to discover just how important these scaly and slimy animals are to us. SSSSee you there!” Visitors can spend the day at the museum learning through a variety of activities, programs, and by speaking with exhibitors. Admission to the event includes access to the museum’s exhibits, including Creepy Nature, Block Party, and Dino Safari. Visitors who work up an appetite exploring exhibits and
meeting live animals can enjoy tasty snacks from the museum store or lunch selections from an on-site food truck. Reptile & Amphibian Day is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the creatures living close by in nature. Even if reptiles and amphibians seem frightening or gross, visitors can learn just how important they are to the environment, and maybe conquer their fears of these often misunderstood animals.

MHPD chief Don Roper congratulates Cpl. Robert Ellison on his recognition for having ridden a bicycle with more than 70 other law enforcement officers 500 miles in 4 days from Charlotte to Washington DC last May. The ride was designed to honor the men and women of law enforcement who made the ultimate sacrifice. Cpl Ellison carried two patches in honor of Deputy K. Self of Gaston County Sheriff’s Office and Cpl. Wells of the Dallas Police Department. These patches were presented to the two departments at last Monday’s city council meeting. Please join us in congratulating Corporal Ellison on a job well done.

Gaston Schools offers tips for great school year With students back in school for a new academic year, it is important for parents to understand how they can support their child’s educational experience. It is no secret that parents make a big difference in how well their children like school and how well children respond to teachers and new learning situations. A child’s confidence level, self-esteem, and family support all play a role in building success. Here are 15 important tips for parents to help make a positive difference in their child’s school experience. Notice what your child does well and praise him or her often. Get involved in your child’s school. Join the PTA or PTO. Attend parenting workshops, teacher conferences, and other school functions whenever possible. You’ll learn valuable information about what is going on, and you’ll be showing your child how much you value his or her academic work. Meet your child’s teacher as soon as possible. Keep in touch through notes, e-mail, or telephone calls. Make contact with teach-
ers before you have a problem or concern. Together, you may be able to stop potential issues from happening. Stress the importance of attending school every day. Good attendance is necessary for students to learn and take advantage of all that school has to offer. Remember that your child notices what you do as much or more than what you say. Children look to their parents for lessons in responsibility, honesty, hard work, and perseverance. Set clear rules for behavior. These rules should be consistent, brief, simple, and limited to five or six key topics. Try to state them in a positive way. Punishments and rewards should be set for each rule. Allow older children (middle school age or older) to express their personalities, even if their clothing or hair style choices aren’t your favorite. Beginning around middle school, your child’s peers will become more im-
portant to them. Give your children some privacy. For example, knock before entering their bedroom. Encourage your children to try new things. Say things like “You can do it if you try. I have faith in you. You’re trying your hardest and your work will pay off. That’s a good try; don’t worry too much about the mistake.” Tell your children what you expect from them. Avoid describing children in negative ways. Do not use words like clumsy, messy, stupid, or any other words that would label a child. Listen to what children say, particularly older children. What works one day may not work another day. Remember yourself. Take time for your own relaxation and exercise, and find ways to help manage stress. It will make you a better parent and a more healthy person. Source: N.C. Department of Public Instruction

Mele named Abbey head softball coach Belmont Abbey Assistant Softball Coach Tony Mele has been elevated to the head coaching position, Director of Athletics Stephen Miss has announced. In his role as an assistant last year, Mele was instrumental in a vast improvement from the previous season. The Crusaders posted a 20-20 overall record during the regular season and earned the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament, where they upset No. 2 King, 5-2. A pair of Crusaders -- Claire Doyle and Payton Whitley -- were named first-team All-Conference Carolinas. “As we endeavored to identify the next head coach of our Softball program, it became apparent that our primary objective was to provide our students, including our future prospects, with consistency and continuity in leadership,” Miss said. “Concurrent to, and perhaps fueling, this growing awareness among those conducting our search, Tony Mele, with the assistance of Sierra Vanzant, distinguished himself as a highly competent leader while serving as head coach in an interim capacity. Coach Mele, who benefits tremendously from having honed his skills while serving in a leadership capacity in multiple corporate organizations as well as in establishing and running his own businesses and travel softball programs, emerged as uniquely prepared and ideally suited to mentor, teach, and coach our students, to form and develop them body, mind, and soul, and to enable them to realize their full potential so as to become a
blessing to themselves and others.” Mele came to Belmont Abbey last fall with 10 years of softball coaching experience at all levels and age groups. As a Team NC travel coach, he recruited and coached several players who are now committed to college play. Trained through the NFCA, Mele is well respected among players and coaches. His background prior to softball includes various leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies, where he gained extensive knowledge in planning, team Abbey softball standout Payton Whitley and Coach Mele. Belmont Abbey photo building and budgeting. He also started his own real estate and software companies. “I would like to thank Abbot Placid Solari, O.S.B., President Thierfelder and Stephen Miss for entrusting me with this great responsibility,” Mele said. “I am very excited about this opportunity to take an expanded role in the development of our young ladies in the Belmont Abbey Softball Program. Having previously taught at Belmont #82 ~ Junior Abbey as well, it feels great to be back at an institution that embraces the development of the students both on and off the field while doing something that is a passion of mine. I look forward to Kicker continuing to strengthen the culture and competitiveness of our program.” Mele received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Connecticut in 1989 and his M.B.A from Wake Forest Univer403 East Catawba St. • Belmont, NC sity in 1995.

Raptors push past Berry 45-20 By John Wilson john.Bannernews@gmail.com
The Mountain Island Raptors improve to 3-1 after beating the Phillip O Berry Academy of Technology Academy 45-20. This game pitted a smaller school against a bigger one. The Raptors are a 1A school while the Berry Cardinals are a 4A school that plays in the Charlotte-based So. Meck. 7 4A Conference.
The game was tight early on. After a scoreless first quarter, the Raptors took a 19-12 lead into the locker room. Both teams scored in the third quarter and the game remained close. That all changed in the fourth quarter as the Raptors lit up the scoreboard with 20 unanswered points. That fourth-quarter burst cemented
Elijah Burris adds more yards to his county record.
the victory. Overall things worked out well for MI. Raptor head coach Robert Washington was pleased with the results. “I thought the game was good,” Washington said. “Playing a 4A school at their place and winning by 25 points, we will take that. I’m very encouraged because we have yet to play our best ball.” The Raptors turned in a complete performance. They played well on both sides of the ball. Offensively the Raptors were productive with 391 yards of total offense. Mountain Island’s top offensive performers were quarterback Demetrius Washington and running back Elijah Burris. Washington threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 38 yards off of seven carries. Burris had 212 yards of offense. He ran for 175 yards and three touchdowns and also caught two passes for 37 yards. Defensively, the Raptors put pressure on Berry all night. The MI defense recorded four sacks and four interceptions. Brandon Jones led the Raptors in tackles with 10 stops. While the MI offense and defense definitely got the job done one group of players also made a significant impact. “Our Special Teams unit really stood out,” coach Washington noted. “Our
Raptor player Demetrius Washington give the stiff arm to a Berry Academy pursuer. kicker Todd Pledger kicked all touchbacks on Friday. This was highlighted by a 75-yard touchback after we received a 15-yard penalty.” Pledger wasn’t the only Raptor special-teamer that had a good night. “Jadon Robinson also had 140 yards in the return game
lead by an 85-yard kick return,” Washington went on to say. “His 85-yard return was key because it was our first score and it came after Berry’s first score.” This week the Raptors have a bye week before going up against Bessemer City on September 27th in the con-
ference schedule opener. During the break coach Washington knows what the Raptors will focus on as they get ready to play the Yellow Jackets. “Just getting healthy,” Washington said. “We haven’t been healthy all year.”

A bad week for most local football teams By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
It really was not a good week for many area football teams. The South Point Red Raiders, East Gaston Warriors and Stuart Cramer Storm all lost in non-conference games. Lincolnton 14 East Gaston 3 The East Gaston Warriors continue to look for their first win of the season after losing to Lincolnton 14-3. Lincolnton had a clear advantage in offensive performance. The Wolves generated 292 yards of offense while East Gaston managed 170 yards. Carter Beck scored the Warriors only points of the game when he nailed a 35yard field goal just before half-time. Offensively, KJ Dagout had 54 yards off of 18 carries and Abel Alvarez had two catches for 48 yards. This week the 0-3 Warriors will host the East Lincoln Mustangs.
Mountain Heritage 38 Stuart Cramer 0 After crushing the East Gaston Warriors 34-0, Stuart Cramer hit a brick wall this week. Burnsville’s Mountain Heritage Cougars made the most of their long bus ride to Gaston County by steamrolling the Storm 38-0. The normally reliable Cramer defense was unable to stop the Cougar ground game. Mountain Heritage backs ground out 345 yards of rushing offense. Despite the fact that his team was having a tough night, Arias Nash had a good game. Nash chalked up 10 tackles, eight of which were solo stops.
