15,620,784 proposed: 2022-2023 City budget approved by Council Other budget highlights include 2% reduction in electrical rate; 2 percent COLA for all City employees by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

The Cherryville City Council’s regular meeting agenda was a whopping 18 items long, not counting the adjournment listing, and once Council voted on and approved the minutes of past meetings and Mayor H. L. Beam’s comments were touched on,

the Council moved on to voting on and unanimously approving the $15,620,784 proposed FY 2022-2023 City budget. City Manager Brian Dalton noted last week that, “Everything was approved that was presented (in the regular session).”

Mr. Dalton also noted the public hearing was set for the RV Park and the text amendment changes for design standards of commercial buildings, adding, “The public hearings will be at the July Council meeting.” Dalton also said that

some fees were changed and added, “We are still the second lowest in the county on regarding zoning fees.” Other budget highlights – in addition to the previously mentioned unanimous vote to approve the budget – include a two percent reduction in electrical

rate; a two percent cost of living adjustment (COLA) for all City of Cherryville employees; and most especially noting the City’s tax rate remains the same. Additionally, Downtown Director David Day’s Main See BUDGET, Page 9

Somerset Court’s Disco Meet/Greet great fun for residents; staff June 16 event’s motto – “a disco ball and that’s not all!” – truly appropriate by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Somerset Court of Cherryville’s new Executive Director Tiffany Crumpton had a great idea – have a disco-themed day of fun for the residents and staff; a firsttime thing that everyone will like and get involved with. So, they invited a plethora of friends, resident’s family members and others from the surrounding community to what she said will be “a funfilled night of retro-disco happenings”. Thanks to skillful planning and hard work by all involved, it all came together last Thursday afternoon, June 16. Crumpton and her new staff said the facility’s renovations are now complete so it was time to celebrate at their renovated “digs”. Her media release noted that with “…a lot of fresh

friendly faces on staff, the (Somerset) community is excited to open its doors to the public for the first time since December – and the team’s going out of its way to make sure a groovy time will be had by all.” So, to that end, last Thursday, Somerset Court showcased all its services as well as its new inside renovations and the event provided not only the community but also the groups they partner with a glimpse into who they are and what they do so as to make sure its residents receive optimal care and have a great life there. Of the meet and greet, Crumpton noted in the media release, that, “Local food trucks will be on hand to make sure guests are well fed while a DJ will be spinning classic disco tunes beneath a gleaming mirror ball.” She continued, “I wanted to do something fun. We wanted to invite our community out to meet our new management staff and to have a look at our complete building makeover.” And they did, and to say it was a big, fun-filled success is an understatement. As one person said, “Everybody is boogeying, disco-style!” See SOMERSET, Page 2

Josey Messer, Associate Executive Director of the Pharr Family YMCA & Cherryville Family YMCA, said recently it’s time for a “Y” summer of fun! To that end the City’s Ballard Park – Yates McGinnis Pool is officially open for business and has been, as Messer noted, since Saturday, June 11. Josey, who is new (by his own admission), said though he isn’t sure how See POOL, Page 10

Your CBL’s second big event of the season a HUGE hit! by TRACI POLLITT Branch Manager – Gaston County Public Library Cherryville Branch

LEGO Club – Tuesdays at 3:30 p.m. Family Storytime – Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. The Friday S.T.R.E.A.M. – Fridays at 10:30 a.m., June 10 – July 29 So Much Sand! (Teens) – Thursday, June 23 at 4:30 p.m. Cooking Smart with Local Summer Fruits & Vegetables – Monday, June 27 at 10:30 a.m. “Fin-tastic Animals” w/the Schiele Museum – Tuesday, June 28 at 1:30 p.m. CLOSED FOR HOLIDAY – Monday, July 4th Our second big event of the season was a HUGE hit! Roger Day brought his music – and a lot of laughter – with him to the Cherryville Branch Library on Monday, June 13. You may

have heard Ms. Traci squeal with delight when this show was first announced, as she uses one of Day’s songs, “Can You Point Your Finger?” during outreach to daycares and preschools in the community. Imagine her delight when she not only got to meet her hero but also sing her favorite song with him! Day did an hour-long show including his hits, “Mosquito Burrito”, “Dream Big”, “It’s a No-No to Kiss a Rhino”, “Roly-Poly”, and “Me & My Jetpack”. Ms. Traci wasn’t the only one who got to sing and play along; Day also asked Sarah Miller and Emily Winfrey, both from the GCPL Main branch, to jump onstage as well. It was a great way to start off another week of Summer Reading fun. The only sad thing was that we couldn’t laugh and sing and play all day. If you were here for either Roger Day or Soap

Bubble Circus, you might have noticed that there was someone from the Gaston County Public Library assisting with the introductions. Each of the speakers was a member of the GCPL “Live @ Your Library” committee; they commit time to finding and securing various artists for GCPL branches. During those “commercial” segments, you might remember the following: “This program is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. The program also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Gaston Arts Council, and Friends of the Gaston County Public Library.” Most people have heard of the NEA and know about our Friends of the Library group. We thought we’d highlight the other organizations here. The North Carolina Arts

Council was founded in 1967 with the idea that art should be for all citizens. The council strives to provide resources for arts development to all 100 counties in North Carolina and believes that the arts are essential to the growth and well-being of the state’s communities. The Gaston Arts Council, founded in 1979, is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization. It supports, develops, promotes, and encourages broad-ranged cultural and educational programs. We are very thankful for both organizations and their continued support. For all library-related questions, feel free to call us at (704) 435-6767, or stop by the branch at 605 E. Main Street. Our public service hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday and Saturday. And if you haven’t gotten your Summer Reading

Ms. Traci of the Cherryville Branch Library with one of her favorite musicians, Mr. Roger Day (photos provided) records yet, definitely stop by and see us!

Happy Summer Reading everyone!

Mental health problems spike among NC teens by DAVID LARSON Carolina Journal Even before the COVID19 pandemic, some parents, child psychologists, and public-health officials were drawing attention to a growing mental health crisis among American teens. But according to preliminary numbers from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services provided to Carolina Journal in late May, this trend has only increased in the time since the pandemic, with a massive jump in suicide attempts, drug overdoses, and involuntary commitments evident among the state’s teenage population. According to NCDHHS data, the number of emergency-room visits by teens for self-inflicted injuries in N.C., like attempted suicides, rose from 2,362 to 3,259 over this same period – a 38 percent increase.

An increasing number of N.C. teens are also arriving at emergency rooms due to drug overdoses. In 2016, NCDHHS data showed 1.6 drug-overdose deaths per 100,000 people 13-18 years old. While this improved some before the pandemic, dropping to 1.1 deaths per 100,000, these numbers immediately spiked once the pandemic hit. By 2021, the rate was almost four-times higher, with 4.3 drug-overdose deaths per 100,000 N.C. teens. These numbers may seem small when looking at the hundreds of thousands of teens in the state, but each death is a sign of thousands more in states of mental crisis and addiction. “Because of the pandemic and other issues, we have more and more young people that are trying to commit suicide,” state Sen. Jim Burgin, R-Harnett, told Car-

olina Journal. “At the point we’re at right now, especially in young people, the whole mental health aspect is very serious. Teen suicides rates are up. I’ve dealt with so many families that have had kids that have either tried to commit suicide or committed suicide. (Add) on top of that, the self-medication of alcohol or other drugs. All of those things are a big concern.” Burgin, who chairs both the N.C. Senate’s Health and Health Appropriations committees, is deeply concerned about teen mental health in the state, especially surrounding involuntary commitments and emergency room visits. In 2020, 2,429 N.C. teens were involuntary committed to mental health facilities, but in 2021, that number has jumped to 3,689, according to data provided to CJ by NCDHHS. This is a 52 percent increase in a one-year span. Burgin said a major problem

caused by this trend is that so many parents are dropping their children off at emergency rooms that there is no place to send them. “I had one in Harnett County that was in the hospital, in the emergency room, for 94 days, as they were waiting for a place to put that child – actually in the emergency room in Dunn, North Carolina.” He said he’s seen the same thing repeating, including with a 9-year-old girl in foster care who had to stay in the emergency room for 29 days while they looked for somewhere to place her. “On any given day, there are 200 people in the emergency room for involuntary commitment; that’s children and adults, but a lot of them are children,” Burgin said. “I was at UNC the other day, and they have a whole wing up there that’s for adolescent kids that’s part of the emergency department. They have young children there, all these folks that are having issues, they end up there until they’re

18 years old.” There are three main psychiatric hospitals in the state, with a total of 1,500 beds. And Burgin said a big issue is that around 400 of these beds are taken up by defendants in criminal trials who are waiting for competency hearings. “I want to move those people out, because those beds cost $1,400 a day,” Burgin said. “I want to move those people to jails or local prisons, still treat them – do the counseling, do the psychiatry – but in a less expensive environment. And then take these more severe cases and put them in a mental-health hospital.” With involuntary commitment of teens for mental health problems “up significantly,” Burgin said he just doesn’t want them “languishing in emergency departments because we don’t have a facility to put them in.” He plans on traveling the state with NCDHHS Secretary Kody Kinsley to bring attention to this issue and to look for solutions.

“I’m talking to the secretary now, and we’re talking about coming up with a facility, about 100- to 110-bed facility that we can take these cases and not leave them in the emergency room,” Burgin said. “We can get them in a facility and start treating them immediately rather than letting them languish. I call it warehousing them. I don’t want to warehouse kids. I want them somewhere we can treat them and get them on the right track.” Asked why he believes teens in modern N.C. are struggling so much with mental health, he said, “I sum it up like this: I think there’s a sense of hopelessness among a lot of young people, and it concerns me. A lot of them feel like it’s just not going to get better. I’ve talked to a lot of them, and you just see this lostness. And we as adults have got to do better. I think part of it is a lot of these devices. I think kids are having phones and being on the internet too early.”

peas so let’s say Shammah was tasked with guarding a field of Crowder Peas and he won the day. The first two charge into battle and Shammah guards the food, but he is still considered a hero among the mighty. Chew on that for a moment. Granted, he had to fight off a few Philistines, but his was not a major battle. It is almost comical. Perhaps the Bible is trying to tell us heroes aren’t always flashy and ‘out in front’. Sometimes the heroes we need are the ones who just do the job God calls them to. Sometimes we need Crowder Pea Heroes. I see this in churches

They numbered 37, but only three were named. Josheb-Basshebeth, Eleazar and Shammah. These three were the best of the best of the best. The first two fit our ideas of heroes going out into battle facing incredible odds. Josheb-Besshebeth killed 800 men at one time. Eleazar is abandoned during battle only to make a courageous stand and win the day. Yet it is the third hero among the mighty I wish us to focus on as hard times close in. Shammah guarded a field against the Philistines. Now some translations say the field was full of lentils and some say they were filled with barley. I like crowder

care of his or her aged parent is a hero. The husband that cares for his bride suffering from Alzheimer’s is a hero. The woman who checks on her neighbors and the kids who stand up for each other. The teacher that takes extra time with their students. These are all Crowder Pea Heroes. We won’t see them on the news, but we will see them in heaven. Jesus said, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” Brothers and Sisters, take up the call Christ has given you. Tend the field around you. Be a Crowder Pea Hero. And may God bless you!

all the time, the minister and worship leader get the praise, but the sound guy takes the word to the masses. Behind every great pastor is a secretary making sure things get done. It takes a heroic effort for parents to wrestle a toddler into church clothes every Sunday. We can see Crowder Pea Heroes in our society as well. However, first we need to stop waiting on politicians and celebrities to be heroes and start being heroes in our own pea patches. A Hero is a parent that works 50 hours a week and makes time to check homework and makes the family sit down to eat. Or the grown child who takes

A Good Father Cherryville Area If you are a father, I hope you had a Happy Father’s Day. I was blessed to be able to honor two amazing men - my husband and Father-in-law. For those whose father is no longer here, or who didn’t have a father present in the home, I have some comforting news. We have an everlasting Father who loves deeply and will DANYALE PATTERSON never leave or forsake us; he is good. When my father passed from this life to eternity, I was very sad. It was hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that the person who provided for me, protected me and loved me unconditionally was gone to a place that was beyond my reach. As I grieved, I had to really learn to lean into and rely on my Heavenly Father. When there is a hole in your heart, the love of God takes on a new meaning. I found that he gives an extraordinary love. I John 3:1a (ESV) states, “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” Meditate on the following verses about God the Father: • “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7b - Father God gives grace and peace. •“But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8 - Father God makes and molds us. •“Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.” Psalm 68:5 - Father God won’t abandon the hurting. •“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:11 - Father God gives good things. •Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” Mathew 6:26 - Father God provides for our needs. PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord, I praise you for you are one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. I am blown away by your amazing love. I can never repay you for all the wonderful things you have done for me. You have always loved me and been there for me, especially when I needed you. Thank you for healing, strengthening, and refreshing me through your word and Spirit. Thank you for your compassion and mercy. Forgive me for being hard-head and rebellious instead of yielding to you. I appreciate your correction, because you discipline those you love and chastise those you accept as your children. I love you with all of my heart. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

Post 100 first baseman Tobias Miller has the ball and the York, SC batter is the first out on the game versus Post 66.

Pitcher Joseph Webb goes to work on the mound for Post 100 in action against Post 66 (York, SC) a couple weeks back at Fraley Field.

Joseph Webb trots easily for home plate after his home run blast against Hickory Post 48 a couple of weeks ago. His teammates go out to congratulate him.

County’s veterans services office “reno” starts June 2 According to a media release from Adam Gaub, director of communications for Gaston County, the county is preparing to begin major renovations at its Veterans Services Office, starting June 2. Residents who use the VSO will not experience any interruption in services; however, the VSO will be closed to the

public while construction work is ongoing. Some of the VSO staff will continue working in a trailer located next to the office, located at 965 Roberts Drive, in Gastonia. The trailer does not have space available for in-person client meetings, but staff can continue accepting documents from current or new clients.

BUDGET

budget year. The financial statement provided to the Council members on the agenda was, said Mr. Dalton, “… just information that I provide the Council” and no vote is taken on it. That concluded the City Council’s regular meeting of Monday, June 13.

From Page 1 Street chair and members information and recommendations were approved by the Council. Mr. Dalton also noted the audit contract was approved for Butler & Stowe CPAs for the 2021-2022

Those who do need to visit the temporary office are encouraged to call ahead to (704) 866-3606. As they have done during throughout the duration of the pandemic, the VSO staff will continue to serve Gaston County’s veterans through telephonic or electronic appointments and will continue provid-

ing its full range of services and assistance. As a result of the renovations, veterans can expect a more accessible experience when conducting business at the VSO. The renovations will include improvements to the building’s entrance and expansion of parking. “The office will be brighter with a more

functional flow and better utilization of the space within the building,” said Gaston County Public Works project coordinator Sara Gilbert-Kay. “In keeping the building’s history and character, many of the original features of the building will remain, which will allow veterans to appreciate the familiarity of what they

know and are accustomed to, and enjoy updates, which will help to provide excellent customer service for the veterans of Gaston County.” The County anticipates completing renovations at the VSO by early 2023.

The Cherryville Eagle

Lifeguard Luke Harmon on duty, keeping an eye on the swimmers and making sure they’re safe.

When the heat gets to be too much, come on by the Cherryville Ballard Park pool and take a dip, cool off, and have some good, old summertime fun! (photos by MEP/The Eagle/CF Media)

POOL From Page 1 long the Cherryville Family YMCA has run the pool’s programs, he is fairly certain it has been a while now. “I have been with the ‘Y’ for over 10 years, and I am pretty sure it’s (the YMCA managing the pool programs) longer than that,” he said. The lifeguards currently on duty are Samuel Herrera, Luke Harmon, Eric White, and Jessica Wallace, who are, as Josey noted, the crew responsible for the Cherryville pool. “We are working hard to find more guards to expand hours over the summer,” he said, adding, “The guards are responsible for cleaning the pool and maintaining pool safety, along with (our) concessions and (the) entrance. We will have one of our staff from the Branch, Debbie Lesenger, come out and teach water aerobics on Thursdays at 11 a.m., starting June 23.” Messer noted also there are fees associated with swimming at the pool, which is $3 for non-members and free to Gaston County Family Y members. “We do have concessions and accept credit cards,” he said. In addition to the aforementioned 11 a.m., Thursday water aerobics classes taught by one of their group instructors (Ms. Lesenger), Josey also mentioned that their Summer Camp kids will come out to the pool once a week for some fun

‘Reach for the Stars’ crafts were some of the goals the campers wanted to reach when they were at camp.

Some of the YMCA’s camp friends with their hand-made ‘First Responders Flags’. (photos provided) as well. “We are also working towards more family programming out at the pool.” Messer added. As for when will the pool will close this year, Messer said “…depending on lifeguard availability it should be around mid-August.” Regarding the Family “Y’s” Summer Camp, Mr. Messer said, “The camp at Cherryville is blessed to have the Mt. Zion Baptist Church to call its home. We get to utilize a full gym, fellowship hall, outdoor courts, and outdoor playground for a full day of programming. As we mentioned, the camp will also visit the Cherryville pool weekly.” The Camp’s location is at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 112 Mt. Zion Church Rd.,

Cherryville, and classes are offered for grades Rising K – Rising 6th Grades. The dates they are offered are: June 6 through Aug. 16, 2022, and times are from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., said Messer. As for pricing for the Camp, he noted the following prices (which include lunch most weeks of camp): YMCA members – $140; and Program Participant(s) – $175.

How to Choose a Medicare Supplemental (Medigap) Policy Dear Savvy Senior, I’m planning to enroll in original Medicare in a few months and have been told I probably need to get a Medicare supplemental policy too. Can you offer any tips on selecting one? Almost 65

ly premiums for Plan G typically range between $100 and $300, depending on your age and the state you reside in. If that’s more than you’re willing to pay, there are also high-deductible plans that have lower premiums but impose higher out-of-pocket costs.

Dear Almost, If you’re enrolling in original Medicare, getting a supplemental policy (also known as Medigap insurance) too is a smart idea because it will help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and the Part A deductible. Here are some tips to help you choose an appropriate plan.

For more information on the different types of plans and coverage details, including Medigap options in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, go to Medicare.gov/publications and type in “choosing a medigap policy” in the Keyword box, and download their 2022 guide. Or call 1-800-MEDICARE and ask them to mail you a copy.

Medigap Plans In all but three states (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin), Medigap plans, which are sold by private health insurers, are available to new enrollees in eight different standardized plans. These plans are labeled with the letters A, B, D, G, K, L, M and N, with two more, C and F, that are only available to those eligible for Medicare before 2020.

How to Choose To pick a Medigap policy that works best for you, consider your health, family medical history and your budget. The differences among plans can be small and rather confusing.

Plan G is the most popular policy among new enrollees because it covers the most comprehensive range of beneﬁts. Month-

To help you choose, visit Medicare.gov/ medigap-supplemental-insurance-plans and type in your ZIP code. This will give you a list of the plans available in your area, their price ranges and the names, and contact information of companies that sell them. But to get speciﬁc pric-

ing information, you’ll need to contact the carriers directly or call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program. See ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2675 for contact information. Since all Medigap policies with the same letter must cover the exact same beneﬁts (it’s required by law), you should shop for the cheapest policy. You’ll get the best price if you sign up within six months after enrolling in Medicare Part B. During this open-enrollment period, an insurer cannot refuse to sell you a policy or charge you more because of your health. You also need to be aware of the pricing methods, which will affect your costs. Medigap policies are usually sold as either: “community-rated” where everyone in an area is charged the same premium regardless of age; “issue-age-rated” that is based on your age when you buy the policy, but will only increase due to inﬂation, not age; and “attained-age-rated,” that starts premiums low but increases as you age. Community-rate and issue-age-rated policies are the best options because they will save you money in the long run.

You can buy the plan directly from an insurance company, or you can work with a reputable insurance broker. Drug Coverage You also need to know that Medigap policies do not cover prescription drugs, so if you don’t have drug coverage, you’ll need to buy a separate Medicare Part D drug plan too. See Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare plans. Also note that Medigap plans do not cover vision, dental care, hearing aids or long-term care. Alternative Option Instead of getting original Medicare, plus a Medigap policy and a separate Part D drug plan, you could sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan (see medicare.gov/ plan-compare) that provides all-in-one coverage. These plans, which are sold by insurance companies, are generally available through HMOs and PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors.
