KaBOOM! Playground to be built, and dedicated Oct. 4 More than 200 volunteers from MetLife and MetLife Foundation , Gaston County Family YMCA, organizers from KaBOOM! and residents of the Belmont community will join forces on Saturday, October 4, to build a new playground at Stowe Family YMCA. The design is based on children’s drawings created at a special event in August. The project is part of MetLife and MetLife Foundation’s ongoing commitment to serving the greater Charlotte community. The Stowe Family YMCA sits between two cities that have been burdened with high unemployment, low income levels and high obesity rates among their children. Parents, boards, members and community would embrace the opportunity to provide a fun, safe playspace for children
to grow, explore, imagine and create. The playground will be the 22nd built by MetLife Foundation and KaBOOM!. Through this partnership, more children will have the joyful childhood filled with play they deserve. MetLife Foundation supports KaBOOM! in promoting and protecting a child’s right to balanced and active play at home, at school and in the community. Event schedule: 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Kick-off ceremony and volunteer deployment 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Best viewing of playground construction 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Final construction phase and adjustments 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate new play area

Do you know where the missing plaques are? By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
The program for the Oct. 4 rededication of the Spirit of the Fighting Yank WWII memorial statue in Stowe Park has been set. The event will begin at 11am with a welcome by former Belmont mayor Richard Boyce. Presentation of the colors will be by South Point High School JNROTC color guard. The Pledge of Allegiance will be led by area Boy and Girl Scouts. The South Point High marching band will
perform the National Anthem. Three patriotic songs by South Point High chorus will follow. The City of Belmont welcome will be delivered by Mayor Charles Martin. Remarks will be made by Bill Richard, NC American Legion State Committeeman. Richard Boyce will introduce keynote speaker NC Gov. Pat McCrory. The closing prayer will be delivered by Rev. Kenneth Alexander. The Gaston County Sheriff Dept. honor guard will fire a volley followed by Taps. Gene Rhinehart and James Reeves will unveil the monument. Seating will be limited so bring a folding chair if you need one.
The Mount Holly Historical Society is trying to solve the mystery of what became of a large plaque honoring the town's WWII veterans. “There was at one time a group of plaques honoring and remembering Mount Holly veterans,” said Garrie Brinkley. “It stood where Wells Fargo now has a driveway on Central Avenue in the downtown area. Apparently it was torn down when the bank bought up the property and built the current branch. Somehow, the plaques disappeared and have never been recovered.” Several historical society members have searched high and low for the plaques, but without success. However, a picture of it does exist. “Once we discovered the picture and started asking around, we were told in could be at various locations, including the attic of First Baptist Church,” said Robert Black. “We did inspect the attic and roof area, but found nothing. We then started asking various veterans and veterans organizations if they knew
These plaques honoring WWII veterans from the Mount Holly area once stood on the corner downtown where Wells Fargo Bank does now. Members of the Mount Holly Historical Society are trying to determine what became of them. MHHS photo
where it could be located. People remembered seeing it during the war, but no one remembers who took it down, where it would have been stored. We had a lot of people spreading the word and investigating garages, attics, basements, etc. but to no avail. It is like it
disappeared into thin air. To think that someone would have thrown it away makes me ill!” If anyone knows the fate or whereabouts of this very important piece of Mount Holly history, call Black at 704827-8331.

Hitting the open road Group rides motorcycles from Murphy to Manteo

The group recently rode their motorcycles across North Carolina. Photo courtesy Mike Baucom It was the ride of a lifetime. On September 2, a group of friends left Belmont for a motorcycle ride from Murphy, NC to Manteo, NC. The ride was sponsored by the North Carolina Harley Owners Group. The distance between the two cities is 544.4 miles using the most direct route. The entire ride was 1,545 miles which included the 213 mile it took to get to Murphy, 86 miles to Ocracoke and the 449 mile home. Everyone participating in this rally didn’t ride as one group; they got to the destinations on their own or in small groups. The Belmont contingent had a small group of five people on three bikes. Riders included Mike and Donna Baucom, Eddie and Betty Barker and Steve Hubbard. Steve rode until Statesville and then came home from there. The Barkers and Baucoms rode the entire ride. “We also never took the most direct route,� said Mike Baucom. “We road the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee and Fontana Dam on the way to Murphy. The Cherohala Skyway was the second day in the Murphy. Instead of the direct route we took Wayah Road on the way to Statesville on the third day adding even more miles but the extra mile on the scenic routes were the best. We arrived in Murphy one day early so we would have time to ride some of the popular roads in the area.� The Rally was from Murphy to Statesville to Rocky Mount to Nags Head all the way across North Carolina. It’s called the Murphy to Manteo ride. At each location there would be a band and a meal. In Rocky Mount the band was Charlie Daniels. “We were very lucky with the weather during the rally – it was a little hot but we only got rained on twice for an hour or so,� Baucom said. “Once the rally was over we were not so lucky. It rained some on the way to Ocracoke and most of the time we were there. The next morning we were leaving for home it was raining when we left for the ferry and continued all day. We left for home at 6:30 AM and arrived at home at 6:30 PM wet all the way through. Even with all the rain it was a good ride everyone arrived home safe and sound.�
Love of the water leads Wheeler to Sea Tow By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
During weekdays Angela Wheeler, Ph.D., LPC, helps folks with their personal challenges at her Belmont Counseling Center office, but on weekends she can often be found at the helm of a fast and powerful vessel lending aid to stranded boaters on Lake Wylie. This is not such a strange contrast since Wheeler comes from a long line of nautical-minded family members. “My grandfather was in the Navy and my uncle was in the Coast Guard,� Wheeler said. “I've loved the water and boats since childhood.� Wheeler got her first power boat over 20 years ago. Wanting to move up in the watercraft world, she attended the US Coast Guard Sea School in Charleston, S.C. and obtained a captain's license. “I had to pass five tests including safety and navigation,� Wheeler said. She got her license to carry up to six charter passengers, then obtained a towing endorsement. That was followed by upgrading her captain's license to that of a Master. All of this training enables Wheeler to legally operate a vessel weighing up to 50 tons which she has done on numerous off shore excursions. But the waters near Wheeler's home on Lake Wylie are currently keeping her busy as a skipper for Sea Tow. That's a franchise that operates on Lake Wylie, Mountain Island Lake, and Lake Norman offering boaters in trouble assistance ranging from fuel to a tow back to the dock in case of engine trouble or other technical problems. “A lot of people run out of gas,� Wheeler said. “Friday and Saturday evenings between 4 and 8 pm it's very busy.� Wheeler's Sea Tow boat is based at Lake Wylie Marina near Buster Boyd
Angela Wheeler of Belmont is seen in the boat she operates for the Sea Tow service. Wheeler comes from a long line of watercraft operators and has been in love with boats since childhood. Bridge. “It's a 22-foot Triumph with a 150 engine,� she said. “It can go up to 40 miles per hour but the normal towing speed is six to eight miles per hour.� Helping boaters in trouble is something Wheeler loves, but teaching them what to do to avoid watery woes is even more important to her. She's a staff officer of the USCG Auxiliary Flotilla on Lake Wylie and encourages everyone to take the boating safety courses it offers.
“Boater education is very important,� Wheeler says. “Now, everyone under the age of 26 years has to take a boating safety class.� One boating law Wheeler says many folks aren't aware of is that power boats must give right of way to sailboats with the sail up. The love that Wheeler has for the water also includes concern over environmental issues connected with the river and lakes in our area. She carries a large trash can on her Sea Tow boat and picks up garbage
along the shore. Once, she hooked the boat to a jagged piece of dock that had broken away and was drifting dangerously. She towed it to a safe place. “We're lucky to have this beautiful river in Belmont,� Wheeler says of the Catawba. “The water quality has really improved.� Overall, Wheeler's watery work on weekends is all about safety, education, and environmental awareness. “I don't care if it's a river, lake or a mud puddle, I just love the water,� she says.

Need grapes? Check out Stanley Creek Vineyards “This is a great adventure for us.” That's how David and Sherry Helms of Stanley describe their project that turned a couple of acres of pasture into a thriving vineyard producing hundreds of pounds of succulent grapes. The plot even has a nameStanley Creek Vineyards. But let's start at the beginning, when Helms' construction business was hit by the economic downturn and he and Sherry decided to try growing grapes on a portion of their farm at 1301 Stanley Lucia Rd. “We had the land and wanted to do something with it that would pay us back,” David said. “This is the fourth year we've had a harvest. The first year all we got was five gallons of grapes but the past couple of years we've had bumper crops.” That translated into over 1,300 lbs of grapes on just 7 out of the 18 rows in the 2acre vineyard. “It was the most I ever saw,” said Sherry. Varieties growing in the vineyard include scuppernongs, Carlos, Nobel, and Tara. Some of the grapes are golden in color, others a
rich, deep purple. All taste delicious. It takes a lot of work to keep the vineyard thriving, not the least of which is heavy pruning of every vine in February. “Grapes only appear on new growth,” said Sherry. Other vine chores involve spraying for weeds, watering, and making sure the vine supports are tight. Harvest season for the grapes runs from the first of September to the end of October. Meaning, it's in full swing now. Besides humans, other things like grapes- especially deer. “I saw over a dozen in the vineyard the other night eating them,” said David. Methods David and Sherry use to repel the fourlegged grape lovers includes hanging sacks made of panty hose filled with human hair or Irish Spring soap on the vine posts. Of course results vary. So, what happens to the grapes the Helms' grow? “We sell to three or four locally owned stands and stores,” Sherry said. “We also have some other customers that buy them by the pound to make wine and jelly.” The Helms' make wine for their own consumption

and give some to friends. However, going commercial with the wine end of things isn't something David and Sherry are ready to tackle quite yet. “To sell wine involves a lot of red tape,” they say. “But it would be the ticket to making money.” For now, the Helms' are looking to sell as many grapes off the vine as they can. If a customer wants grapes, by the pound or the whole crop, they can pick them or David will pitch in and help. Call them at 704263-4310 or 704-616-5147 to arrange a time. Besides getting something good to eat, time spent with the Helms' is also an exercise in good old Southern hospitality- and a lesson in grape growing.

Distillery in the running for American Made award!
Caroline and Robbie Delaney have seen their Muddy River rum distillery in East Belmont grow rapidly over the past couple of years. They are finalists in the Martha Stewart American Made contest. Photo by Alan Hodge By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
A growing, local business has a chance to gain national attention and you can help. Muddy River Distillery in Belmont has been selected as a finalist in the Martha Stewart American Made Award contest. Robbie and Carolina Delaney started the rum distillery three years ago in the former Spectrum Dyed Yarns mill in East Belmont and have seen sales soar and recognition roll in ever since. The Delaneys make silver Carolina Rum and Queen Charlotte's Reserve barrel aged rum and are on the shelves of most ABC liquor stores throughout the state in the NC section.
The couple is excited about being one of the national finalists. “It's cool,� Robbie said. “I think we have a fighting chance to win.� The winner will be determined by online votes. “You can vote six times a day now through Oct. 13,� Caroline said. Here's the email address for voting- http://www.marthastewart.com/americanmade/nominee/9 5583/food/muddy-river-distillerycarolina-rum American Made spotlights the maker, supports the local, and celebrates the handmade. The program is made up of people and communities that have turned their passion for quality craftsmanship and well-designed goods into a way of life.
For more than 20 years, Martha Stewart has celebrated this spirit of innovation in the pages of her magazines and on her television shows. Now, through American Made, Martha Stewart and the editors of Martha Stewart Living are spotlighting the next generation of great American makers: entrepreneurs, artisans, and small-business owners who are creating beautiful, inspiring, useful products; pioneering new industries; improving local communities; and changing the way we eat, shop, work, and live. Even if they don't take the cake in the Martha Stewart contest, the Delaneys have been going great guns as far as growing Muddy River Distillery. Over the past year, they've seen
sales increase over 200 percent. When they first started they could only fill about 35 bottles a day. Now the figure is over 300 bottles. New equipment has been added. Including another 250 gallon still and a 300 gallon mixer. Interestingly, most of the distilling equipment is fashioned from stainless steel tanks that Robbie salvaged from dairy farms. Awards and accolades that the Delaney's rum has won cover a wall. They took Best Spirits and Best of Show at Greensboro's Big Sip event. They've been written up in numerous publications including Edible Charlotte, Creative Loafing, Greater Charlotte Biz, Charlotte Wedding, and the BannerNews. Folks curious about Muddy

This picture shows one of the earlier sanctuaries of Goshen Presbyterian Church. This was the second or third sanctuary– subject to debate.
ANNIVERSARY: Goshen Presbyterian celebrates 250 years of service From page 1 under a brush arbor and held worship services. Later, a log cabin is said to have been the first sanctuary. In the 1830s the congregation acquired 17 acres from the Smith family for $85 and built a simple yet dignified church building. Several others followed over the years until the congregation moved into its current spot in 1956. Goshen Presbyterian's new preacher, Rev. James Almond, appreciates the history he has become part of in his first solo pastorate. “It is a huge honor to be here,” he said. To get ready for the 250th anniversary, Goshen Presbyterian has reorganized and spruced up its archives room. Newer materials have been moved upstairs and a space on the lower level has been filled with a wide variety of historic materials illustrating in text and artifact the congregation's two and a half centuries. Items on display include photos of pastors going back to the mid-19th century, a drawing of the 18th century brush arbor, photos of the buildings that have served as sanctuaries over the years,
an 1850 pulpit, church records, and much more. “The church records only go back 150 years,” Almond said. “The ones before that were lost when a person carrying them on a horse fell in the river and they were washed away.” To preserve the materials on display, the church has installed blackout curtains to keep sunlight out and a dehumidifier. Goshen Presbyterian wants to share its history with others. “The archives room is open to the public,” Almond said. A vital piece of Goshen Presbyterian's 250th anniversary is located a few hundred feet up Woodlawn Ave. in the form of the church's original cemetery. Surrounded by a low stone wall, Old Goshen Cemetery has graves going back to the early 19th century. Twelve veterans of the American Revolution are buried there. At one time a bronze plaque on the graveyard gate listed their names, but it was stolen by vandals several years ago. One of the names listed was John Smith who came to the Belmont area from Northern Ireland in 1773 with his wife Rosan-
nah and son David. They are buried there as well. Other local names that have a strong presence at the Goshen cemetery are Stowe, Armstrong, Rankin, Lineberger, and Abernathy. The church has records of who is buried there. In the 1970s the Belmont Jr. High Tar Heel Junior Historians did a survey of the ground and compiled a list of names, dates, and locations of folks who are in its hallowed earth. The grave sites are listed alphabetically and the location marked on a quadrant. For more information about Goshen Presbyterian, its history, and the upcoming 250th anniversary celebration contact Almond at goshenpcs.pastor@gmail.com

South Point whups East Gaston 34-14 By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
South Point rolled into East Gaston prepared to defend its Big South Conference title. East Gaston was fired up to take on its biggest county rival. Both teams were looking for wins. South Point was still trying to recover from what, to this point, had been an uncharacteristically poor start. East Gaston was looking to extend its win streak to two in a row after slamming Cherryville. In a solid display of great running and shut down defense the Red Raiders beat East Gaston 34-14. Last week South Point coach Mickey Lineberger said that the Red Raiders were ready for conference play to begin. Lineberger believes that in the big picture the season starts anew. "Now everyone is 00. We will defend our conference title," Lineberger said. South Point took their coach's words to heart. In facing the Warriors, South Point put on a running clinic. Big Red churned out 429 yards on the ground. The Red Raiders made no effort to throw the ball. South Point quarterback Jaquan Brooks was 1-1 for 7 yards. Two Red Raiders had monster games. When given the ball fullback Ryland Etherton and wing back Tanner Muse took it inside and outside in a tremendous

tag team effort. Etherton hammered out 173 yards off of 22 carries. The 6 foot 172 pound junior ended his day with a staggering 7.8 yards per carry average. Etherton also landed in the end zone
3 times. His best effort was a 68 yard TD run in the second quarter. Muse's day was just as impressive. The Red Raiders are finding more ways to use Muse's speed and play mak-
ing ability. The two way started electrified with a 14 yard per carry average as he piled on 154 yards to make South Point's running dominance complete. Muse finished up with two scores as
well breaking runs of 18 and 57 yards. The only thing that took away from the South Point win was the 15 penalties Big Red accumulated. Many of those flags were unsports-
