“Pretty steady” turnout best describes Cherryville’s election day showing Voting at town’s three precincts came in “fits and spurts” by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Words like “steady” and “pretty steady” were used by the city’s three precincts to describe the trickling, and somewhat lukewarm, voter turnout at last Tuesday’s May 17, 2022 Primary election turnout. Some of those outside the polling stations said it seemed like many came in “fits and spurts of people arriving to vote. At Cherryville’s Second Baptist Church polling place (Precinct 36, Cherryville #2), Chief Judge

Mark Moss said they had, as of 11:20 a.m., 173 voters that came by to vote. Moss, who has been doing this for 15-plus years now, said, “It’s been steady. Not a heavy turnout for a primary.” Moss was assisted by poll workers Judy McSwain, Judy Bingham, Berniece Harris, and Brenda Beam. At the J. Ralph Beam, Sr. Community Building, a.k.a. Cherryville polling station #1, Precinct 35, Chief Judge Becky Wood, like Mark Moss, said their turnout (100, since noon of Election Day) had been, so far, “pretty steady.” Wood was assisted by Ron Beam, Christy Barrett,

Wendi Beam, Diane Jenkins, and David Whitesides. About a block over, on Academy Street, at First Presbyterian Church (Cherryville #3, Precinct 37), Chief Judge Chip Childers said they had “about 101” voters come by to cast their ballot. “Honestly,” said Childers, “that was more than what I thought we would have today. That said, it’s all been pretty steady for us too.” Childers was assisted at the polls by workers Michelle Hoffman, Sherry Hayes, and Melissa Hughes. According to the Gaston Board of Elections web site, the unofficial Primary See ELECTION Page 4A

National Skilled Nursing Care Week celebrated at Peak Resources Cherryville by SARAH CHAMBERS Marketing Liaison Peak Resources Cherryville

The week of May 8-14, nursing homes across the country celebrated a time of togetherness and fun, highlighting the strength and commitment of staff with the special care that goes along with meeting patients’ needs

in a skilled nursing facility. National Skilled Nursing Care Week, celebrated this year from May 8th to May 14th, is given a theme each year by the American Health Care Association. This year’s theme was “Creating and Nurturing Connections” and was meant to focus on how nursing staff have stepped in and provided more than just nursing care during the pandemic with limited visitations and social distancing protocol.

On Monday, May 9, Sanstone’s Carolina Care Center of Cherryville celebrated National Skilled Nursing Care Week, which continued through to Friday, May

13. Carolina Care’s Wellness Coordinator and Transportation Coordinator, Hunter Avery, said of the week, “I am excited and looked forward to getting back to the normal of what Nursing Home Week was like. With the pandemic and all the changes going on in-

side of Skilled Nursing facilities, it felt nice to have a week where everything just felt normal.” Sheree Jackson, Activities Director, agreed, adding, “This week was not only important to the residents but to our staff as well. We looked forward to See CCC, Page 10A

According to a recent media release from the U. S. Attorney’s office for Western North Carolina, Miguel Angel Gonzalez-Perez, a/k/a Fernando Contreras Gonzalez, 54, of Mexico, was sentenced on Wednesday, May 18 to 97 months in prison and three years of supervised release for trafficking carfentanil, announced Dena J. King, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. Robert J. Murphy, Spe-

cial Agent in Charge of the Atlanta Field Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which oversees the Charlotte District Office, and Chief Joseph D. Ramey of the Gaston County Police Department join U.S. Attorney King in making last Wednesday’s announcement. According to the DEA, carfentanil is a synthetic opioid generally used as a tranquilizing agent for elephants and other large mammals. Carfentanil is approximately 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl. The presence of carfentanil in illicit U.S.

drug markets is cause for grave concern, as the relative strength of this drug can lead to increased overdoses and overdose-related deaths. Carfentanil also poses a significant threat to everyone who may come in contact with this substance due to accidental exposure, including first responders and law enforcement personnel. According to court documents and statements made in court, on May 1, 2020, law enforcement in Gaston County conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle Gonzalez-Perez was driving. Over the course of the traffic stop, law enforcement found more than two kilograms of carfentanil hidden in a shoe-

box inside the vehicle. The approximate street value of the carfentanil seized is $175,000. Court records show that Gonzalez-Perez had traveled to Atlanta to obtain the carfentantil and was headed back to Western North Carolina when he was intercepted by law enforcement. On Nov. 16, 2021, Gonzalez-Perez pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute carfentanil and aiding and abetting. The DEA and the Gaston County Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Taylor G. Stout of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Charlotte prosecuted the case.

They are very pleased to have this new method of advertising in their branch and have created a short loop to highlight their key Summer Reading events. loop to highlight key Summer Reading events as well as some of our services. And this year, look for the Summer Reading banner at the Yates McGinnis pool, located in Cherryville’s Ballard Park! We’d like to thank the City of Cherryville for working with us and suggesting this great spot in the Robert H. Ballard Recreation Park. Here are some quick details about signing up for Summer Reading. If you have a little one (babies-age 3), ask for an Early Literacy Record.

This is a card with some great early literacy activities to do with your child. When your card is filled, bring it back in to us. Your child will get a certificate of completion, a Grand Prize entry, and an ocean animal squishy. Older children (pre-K through grade 5) signing up will receive a reading record, a chain with the CSLP-themed starting tag, and a bookmark. For every 15 minutes of reading, a box will need to be checked off, marked, colored – whatever works best for the children.

Upon completion the reader will have earned a minimum of five (5) tags and 12 beads as well as a certificate of completion, a wristband, and two Grand Prize entries. When the first record has been completed, children can ask for another record and keep going, which can earn them more Grand Prize entries. However, beads and

tags are only given out for the first record. For our teen and adult patrons, the program is the same as in years past. Pick up a reading record card, read the required number of books, bring the completed card back in, receive a finishing prize as well as a Grand Prize entry. In these categories, the more you read, the better your chances, as teens and adults can also ask for a new record.

Again, finishing prizes are only given out for the first record. For more information, 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. As always, stay safe and bring on the Summer Reading fun!

It’s easy to see who these ladies were rooting for in this past week’s primary election – Cherryville Township Commissioner Allen R.

ELECTION From Page 1A Election results for Tuesday, May 17, 2022, with 46 of 46 (100 percent) precincts reporting in as of 10:04 p.m., that only 16 percent of ballots were cast, or roughly 24,426 votes were cast that day out of a possible total of 151,790 voters registered for Gaston County. The unofficial Democrat winner for the U.S. Senate seat was Cheri Beasley (4,699 votes cast, or 79.94 percent), who fairly destroyed her nearest competitor, James L. Carr, Jr. The unofficial winner of the Republicans for a U.S. Senate seat was Ted Budd (9,693 votes cast, or 53.61 percent), beating out former Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory, who got 6,385 votes cast, or 35.31 percent. One of the other races of interest to Cherryville folks included the as-yet unofficial win by incumbent Rep. Patrick McHenry, for Dist. 10’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (2,109 votes cast, or 77.22 percent) and that of a couple of Gaston County-related seats and offices, such as a couple of Court of Appeals seats and the office of Gaston County Sheriff. Donnie Loftis, one of the many Republicans running for the seat of NC House of Representatives District 109, received 2,632 votes, or 33.61 percent of the vote, which was enough to give him the unofficial win over John Gouch (1,806 votes cast/23.07 percent) and Gaston County Commissioner (1,739 votes cast/22.21 percent). Cathy Cloninger, the wife of Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger, ran as a Republican for the Dallas Township seat on the Board of Commissioners against Steve Hall. Mrs. Cloninger received 10,703 votes cast,

Lastly, City of Cherryville Water Plant Director, Patty Hall, a resident of

Kings Mountain, ran for the At-Large seat for the City of Kings Mountain City Council, Ward 2, losing to Mike Butler, whose 19 votes constituted 67.86 percent of that ballot count. Ms. Hall had nine votes cast in the Cherryville precincts tallied, accounting for 32.14 percent of the total votes cast.

Kelly Hastings, U.S. Dist. 110, NC House of Representatives member from Cherryville, was not on the ballot this time out. Ragan replied via email, “He didn’t have any primary opposition so he wasn’t on the primary ballot. His name will be on the General Election ballot.”

Seriously, us that even those who go dig out your Bible come to the Farmer’s or Google the passage vineyard at the last hour – it’s amazing! This will be given the full article will still be here reward of salvation just as it was given to those when you get back. In this wonderful par- whom the loving Farmer

gifting salvation to the nurse at the abortion mill, the slave owner, the pedophile, the drug dealer, the prostitute, your President or any other human – then perhaps you have a misunderstanding of the idol you call “Jesus”, for that is not JESUS at all. Friends, we can know that redemption from eternal banishment into eternal inclusivity is available even to those who have spent their entire lives hating their Creator – folks just like you and me! And since we now know that there is hope for those who have been lost up until the very last hour then what does this

invited earlier in the day. This is because it has always been God who gave the gift of salvation and He has chosen to invite humans into His kingdom no matter their sins, mistakes, and past. The ground is level at the foot of the cross. No human has earned the favor of God and no human will ever have it without the blood of Jesus to speak on their behalf. Now, let’s contextualize this into our modern world with all its brokenness, corruption, and media narratives. Jesus is teaching us – through this parable – that if you have a problem with God

in ‘baby’ Christians

teach us about patience? Ah, let’s bring this closer to home. After all, we live in the south and every one swears they already “know ‘Jesus’”. Perhaps you’re discouraged by those who claim to know our gentle Avenger. Well, allow me to challenge you: God’s love is long-suffering and ours should be too. Remember, your investment in the lost may take years to endow. Keep inviting them to the Father’s vineyard. And sure, perhaps they have come to saving grace by faith in Christ and are lacking growth and maturity in their walk. Hang in there! Your investment

may take years to pay dividends. Keep teaching them how to work in the Father’s vineyard. It may take years for your parent, neighbor, cousin, spouse, child, or friend to come to salvation or maturity in Christ – keep showing the love of patience that God shows you. Pray for the Lord to grow you in wisdom, strength, and patience. Pray that the Farmer would humble you into a patient field hand – and He will exalt you to the task at hand.

Stronger Together Cherryville Area (3rd Part of “the Power of Praying in Agreement” series) Through movies or television, we watch many shows where there is only one hero or heroine, a superman or wonder woman, that can battle the entire world by themselves. However, in this journey of faith, God didn’t design us to be Rambo’s. His desire is that we learn to depend on each DANYALE PATTERSON other. In Romans 12:4-5 (NLT), Apostle Paul states, “Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.” Not only do we belong to each other, but there’s a blessing when we are unified. Psalm 133:1, 3 (NIV) says, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.” In fact he calls us the body of Christ, because he has knitted us so closely together. Power in Numbers Typically a bully likes to torment and intimidate an individual. Usually, the person is by themselves when they are tormented by their oppressor. However, when the victim decides to get their older siblings involved or several of their friends the bully will retreat. That’s what happens spiritually; the devil will try to discourage someone when they are alone. However, when a group of faith filled believers come into agreement with the person in prayer, the devil flees. Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT) “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” This is why it is important to attend a local church. Sure, you can watch online or pray by yourself at home, but corporate prayer that is full of faith and unity can help you battle the demons fighting against you. The enemy wants you to isolate yourself!! He’ll encourage you to be offended and judgemental against the people in your local fellowship, so you won’t go. The next thing you know, you have stopped growing spiritually or have entered into a negative funk that is hard to snap out of. The next time the devil tries to persuade you to not go to church, resist him, because not only do you need others, but they need you too! PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord you are my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in you, and you help me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise you. Thank you for comforting me when I was down, giving me peace when I was worried, refreshing me when I was tired. Forgive me when I thought I could do things on my own, instead of accepting the love and provision that you sent through other people. Father please remind me that many of your blessings come through other people. Please use me to help people fight their spiritual battles through praying in agreement with them and edifying them. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

PEAK From Page 1A bunnies.Residents were able to hold, pet, and interact with the animals. Tuesday, the residents celebrated with “Mock Margaritas” and tapas in the main dining room, followed by taking turns hitting a piñata filled with sweet treats. It being National Nurses Week (May 6-12), a nacho bar was set up for staff to celebrate “NACHO” Average Nurses! To show appreciation for our nursing staff, nurses were also given gifts during the week and thank you letters from the Director of Nursing, Jessica Sain. Wednesday’s festivities included a fun luau under the tents outside where the residents enjoyed cool watermelon slices. Residents wore neon-colored sunglasses and leis for the luau where they also snacked on rainbow Skittles, popcorn, and cotton candy. Residents were given NERF guns to shoot at various

targets hanging from the tents, but they all ended up aiming at the staff resulting in uncontrollable laughter from all. Peak Resources Cherryville’s Annual Community Barbeque was held on Thursday. The barbeque began with Mayor H.L. Beam reading a proclamation of Skilled Nursing Care Week. All residents, families, staff, and community partners were invited to attend and enjoy a BBQ plate consisting of smoked barbeque with an artisan bun, baked beans, blended sweet corn, coleslaw, potato salad, cornbread, and a fresh baked cookie, all prepared by Peak Resources Cherryville’s Food Service Director, Cameron Farrell, and dietary staff. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all! Kris Thompson, Administrator at Peak Resources Cherryville, said, “Nursing Home Week was for both the residents and the staff here at Peak Resources Cherryville. It all goes hand in hand because you can’t take care of the residents without the staff, so it is nice to show our appreci-

ation to the staff that have been through so much over the past two years. Our staff have stuck it out and proven their dedication to make sure our residents have the highest quality of life here. Nursing Home Week is a special time to show our gratitude for everything they have done as well.” Jessica Sain, Director of Nursing, said, “Nursing

Home Week brings a sense of joy to the residents and staff. We really get to bond by doing all the fun activities. There is a different atmosphere during Nursing Home Week; this year especially because National Nurses Week falls during the same time. Nurses should be celebrated every day for the job they do, and we were thankful to have this opportunity to recognize our phenomenal nurses, especially during that week.”

Peak Resources resident, Peggy Roberson, enjoys a cold slice of watermelon at the Luau on Wednesday, May 11.

Activities Director Dolores Jones noted, “I think the residents enjoyed all the activities that we had that week! I enjoyed making the residents happy and seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing they enjoyed themselves.” Patricia Graham, a resident of Peak Resources Cherryville, said “I loved going outside with everyone and I really enjoyed holding the little rabbits at the petting zoo!” Another resident, Peggy

Roberson, said, “I loved getting to go outside and eat barbeque. It was so good!” Nursing Home Week closed out on Friday with a fun afternoon that included a water balloon fight where residents threw water balloons at staff and squirted each other with water blasters that were kindly donated by Hospice Cleveland County. The day ended with a nice cool popsicle treat for the residents!

Ironmen baseball team moves deeper in the playoffs after two wins by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

The CHS Ironmen diamond kings have moved deeper into the NCHSAA 1A/2A playoffs with defeats of the East Wilkes Cardinals and the Uwharrie Charter Eagles last week at Fraley Field. Against E. Wilkes In this 4-3 win, the Ironmen got those four runs off of just two (2) hits. Still, it was enough as the “Kardiac Kids” hung on, as they always do, confounding some of the better high school baseball minds in the area. That said, the winning pitcher in this matchup was young Eli Newsome, who struck out four batters and walked three. Brayden Reynolds got the save, striking out two Cardinals batters. Hitters for the Ironmen in this one were Landon Hahn (3-4, on base twice on errors, an RBI); Collin Robinson (walked twice); Will Heavner (1-4, a walk); Will Fowler (1-4, one hit, a triple); Kanon Willis (1-4, a double, a walk, and an RBI); Chase Miller (2 walks, a base hit); Logan Hendricks (hit by a pitch and on base); Trip Creason (1-4, a walk, 2 RBIs); and Colin Huss (got on base by a fielder’s choice). Against Uwharrie Charter The Eagles of Uwharrie Charter came into Fraley Field looking to put this young Ironmen team out of

The Ironmen scored their seven (7) runs on four hits and Kanon Willis got the win with young Brayden Reynolds once again notching another save. Right-hander Willis, steely-eyed as always, struck out five (5) batters and walked only two. Young Reynolds struck out two (2) and walked only one Eagles batter. Hitters for Coach

Heavner’s squad in this one were Hahn (2-4, a solo home run smash, a walk, and a base hit); Robinson (1-4, 2 RBIs); Heavner (2-4 and scored on a wild pitch); Fowler (1-4, an RBI); Willis (2 walks); Numarius Good (scored on a wild pitch); Chase Miller (1-4, scored on a balk); Tobias Miller (2 base hits and two walks); Creason (1-3); and Huss (13). The Ironmen will play at home at Fraley Field next week, barring any inclement weather.

Wednesday, May 25, 2022

Rick Walker’s Little Blue Choo was at Carolina Care’s National Skilled Nursing Care Week festivities, giving everybody lots of fun rides on his cool little train.

On Monday, May 9, Cherryville Mayor H.L. Beam, III presented Carolina Care Center’s director Travis Alfaro with a proclamation declaring that week as National Skilled Nursing Care Week in Cherryville. (photos provided)

CCC From Page 1A all of the connections that were made, from the games at a simple carnival or making friendship bracelets, it was a week that really produced real teamwork.” Carolina Care Center’s NNHW themes were as follows: Mother’s Day; Fun Fair Monday; Time Warp Tuesday: 50’s Edition; Wild, Wild, West Wednesday; Tropical Thursday; and Fireside Friday. Mayor H.L. Beam, III was on hand at CCC to give

the proclamation for Nursing Home Week to Director Travis Alfaro. Sheree said Sunday’s Mother’s Day event was a Southern Tea and Muffins with mom, along with providing flowers and jewelry to all the mothers in the building; Monday’s Fun Fair, including the Nursing Home Week Commencement speech from Mayor Beam, also featured director Alfaro thanking the employees for everything they do. A Carnival; (Ring toss, Pick a Duck, Face Painting, Ping Pong Toss, Dunking Tank, Cow Milking, Cotton Candy, Snow cones,

Popcorn, Rick Walker’s The Little Blue Choo, and a Water Station) took place afterwards. On Time Warp Tuesday, the staff of CCC and its residents revisited the 50’s, said Sheree, with cheeseburgers, fries, double chocolate Coca-Cola Cake and 50’s-styled music playing throughout lunch, with everyone suitably dressed in their 50’s attire for the occasion. She noted Wednesday was Wild, Wild, West Day, with BBQ and all the fixin’s on the menu. Western attire and root beer were the dominant themes for that day.

Nothing like hitting the bulls-eye and dropping someone into the drink at a dunking booth, which is just what this CCC resident did! Tropical Thursday featured beach music, Hawaiian shirts with leis and other tropical aspects; tropical-style food and “mocktails” served at the tiki bar,

and, noted Ms. Jackson, Fireside Friday was a “… camp theme with appropriate camp-style food” for all as well as a “Camp Carolina Care”, an outside ex-

ploration Scavenger Hunt, a Big Foot Hunt, where the residents made friendship bracelets, and roasted marshmallows fireside.

Trade Commission, U.S. Department of Justice and the N.C. Attorney General’s Office all have broad authority over hospital mergers, and he encourages them and the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services to exercise diligent oversight and conduct a vigorous examination of this merger.

Best Senior Travel Discounts in 2022 Dear Savvy Senior, What are some of the best travel discounts available to seniors? My husband and are about to retire and are interested in traveling more but live on a tight budget. Frugal Travelers Dear Frugal, There are literally hundreds of different travel-related discounts available to older travelers that can add up to save you hundreds of dollars on your next trip. To qualify, you’ll need to meet the age requirement, which varies by business. Some discounts may be available as soon as you turn 50, but most don’t kick in until you turn 55, 60, 62 or 65. Here’s a rundown of top travel discounts, along with some extra tips to help you save. Ways to Save The ﬁrst thing to know is that most businesses don’t advertise them, but many give senior discounts just for the asking, so don’t be shy. You also need to be aware that when it comes to senior travel bargains, the “senior discount,” if available, may not always be the best deal. Hotels, resorts, airlines and cruise lines, for example,

offer advanced bookings along with special deals and promotions from time to time that may be a lower rate than what the senior discount is. Before you book, always ask about the lowest possible rate and the best deal available. Another way you can save is to be ﬂexible when you travel. Last minute travel deals can offer huge savings, as does traveling during off-season or off-peak times, and avoiding holidays. Club memberships can also garner you a wide variety of travel bargains. AARP, for example has dozens of travel discounts available on hotels, rental cars, cruises, vacation packages and more – see AARP.org/beneﬁts-discounts. The American Automobile Association (AAA.com) is another membership club that provides some great travel discounts to members at any age.

Train: Amtrak provides a 10 percent discount to travelers 65-plus, and a 10 percent discount to passengers over age 60 on cross-border services operated jointly by Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada.

Cruises: Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise lines offer discount rates to cruisers 55 and over on select cruises. And Grand European Travel offers AARP members up to $100 savings per person on river cruises. Call before booking to inquire.

Rental Car: Avis and Budget provide AARP members up to 30 percent off at participating locations. Hertz offers up to 20 off to 50-plus travelers. And Thrifty and Sixt provides 5 percent off to those 50 and older.

Airline: British Airways offers AARP members $65 off economy travel and $200 off business club travel. American, Delta and United also offer senior

Pope; Owens, are CHS’ 2022 Star Teacher/Star Student Coordinator for our homecoming and graduation ceremony. It is not wrong to say that without her, Cherryville High School would not run at the pristine level that it currently does. “Finally, I would like to address the quality I admire most about Ms. Pope, which is her ability to accommodate her students and to create an environment which is inviting to a range of stu-

dent archetypes. On several occasions I have seen Ms. Pope modify her style of teaching to allow students to learn. “It is an educator’s purpose to enrich the learning experience of their students. Ms. Pope excels in this regard and it’s for this reason I have chosen her as my Star Teacher.” Ms. Pope, like many of her CHS contemporaries be-

fore her who have been chosen for this same honor, was pleased to have been chosen by Owens for this honor. She thinks highly of Jackson, so to that end, the Eagle will also use her own words from her acceptance speech to relate her feelings in receiving this award and this honor. She wrote, “When Jackson told me that I had to say See STAR, Page 8B

Thirteen Gaston County school teachers were recognized by 13 of their students on Aril 28 at the 2022 Star Teacher/Star Student Awards program, held at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Cherryville High School was represented by Ms. Emilie Pope, who teaches English and Psychology and the senior and Star Student who chose her as his Star Teacher, Jackson Owens. Owens wrote a short speech telling why he chose Ms. Pope, and the Eagle choses here to reprint it in its entirety as it tells best, in his own words, why he picked her. “I have been blessed to have Ms. Pope as a teacher for several classes during my high school experience which include English 10, Psychology and AP Psy-

chology. I have taken a class taught by Ms. Pope for three consecutive years, with this I have witnessed how she responded to the adverse situations put on educators during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Looking back to last year, there were several times that Ms. Pope convinced both us and herself that technology was not her strong suit. However, through perseverance and some help from technologically inclined students, Ms.

Pope continued to press on during the online semester. During these uncertain times, Ms. Pope’s teaching showed us that regardless of the circumstances an exceptional teacher can illuminate a group of students and allow them to grow as scholars. “Along with teaching, Ms. Pope manages many clubs and activities at Cherryville High school. She is the figurehead for Cherryville’s National Honor Society, as well as a

2022 CHS Senior Gavin Cease says senior year been “amazing!” Cease says he plans to major in business administration and finance by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

For CHS senior Gavin Cease, 17, 2022 has been an “amazing” year, at least, by his own definition. Born in Charlotte, NC, Gavin’s parents: Jennifer Wall and Mike Cook, have watched him grow and become the bright, athletic, and all-around consummate Ironman he has become. Mom Dr. Jennifer Cease Wall said Gavin has had a number of universities looking at him adding, “He has been accepted to Clemson University, Coastal Caro-

grade, although he participated in no spring sports at the time, thanks to 2020’s COVID restrictions, he said. In 2021, as a junior in the 11th grade Cease noted played golf and basketball, moving in his senior year (2022) to football, basket-

Some of Cease’s many awards include the Noah Hampton Award (2021-Basketball); the West/Mid-West All-Star Team (2022-Basketball); was a member of the 2021 Bud Black/Dennis Tate Holiday Classic Tournament Champions; was a 2021 All-Tournament basketball player; a 2021 NewComer Awards winner (Football); on the 2022 Gaston County county track championships team for the CHS Ironmen; and is currently on the CHS Ironmen Men’s Golf team, which is First in the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference.

like that is tough to live up to but like his track performances and all of his other sports and academic endeavors, the cheerful CHS senior seems more than up to the job of carrying his persona forward and sharing it with others as well.

Libbi Smith’s senior year full of new beginnings for her From the friendships to the lifelong memories – her years at CHS have been wonderful by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Making lifelong friends and having lifelong memories is an important aspect of life for CHS senior, Libbi Kate Smith. Smith, 18, who plans to attend college at North Greenville University and major in Physical Education and minor in Sports Ministries, is the daughter of David and Amy Sparrow. She was born in Gastonia, on Nov. 3, 2003. As much as she loves sports, being a member of the Marching Ironmen Band is an integral part of her life at Cherryville High School. She was a member of the band for four years and was Drum Major her senior year (2022).

Mark D. Ewing, Jr. CHS Music Teacher and Marching Ironmen Band Director, said of Smith, “Libbi has been a hardworking student for the Cherryville band for the last four years, serving as a Drum Major and woodwind Captain her senior year. Her ‘go-get-it’ attitude and her passion and care for what she’s done for the program is one that is valued and appreciated and has certainly rubbed off onto her peers. Congrats Libbi!” Though Smith said she wasn’t a member of any of the CHS clubs, she was active in a couple of the school’s sports. Smith noted she played Lady Ironmen soccer for three years; and tennis for three years, enjoying her time on the court as well as the soccer pitch. Said Libbi, “My years at CHS have been wonderful. From the friendships I’ve made to the lifelong memories I have. My senior year has been full of new beginnings for me as I am getting ready to graduate and go to

A study from the Gap Year Association found that 77 percent of students who take a gap year do so between high school and college. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year, but additional findings from the GYA’s “National Alumni Survey” might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past, found that 98 percent of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96 percent felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84 percent of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73 percent of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57 percent said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.

Halls of CHS always felt like home to senior Terayha Bess by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Terayha Bess is quick to tell you she will definitely miss Cherryville High School when she takes her graduation walk, whether it be across the field at Rudisill Stadium or across the stage at Starnes Auditorium, if, for some reason, the weather doesn’t allow the students to be outside for the 2022 graduation. Bess, 18, is the daughter of Tonjua Williams, of Cherryville. She was born in Gastonia on Oct. 14, 2003, she noted in her senior questionnaire recently. And as for her college plans, Terayha said she will attend Caldwell Community College to major in business. After that, she said she isn’t sure right now, adding, “It’s too early to tell.”

Bess is known at school for not only her bright, 100-watt smile and wonderful demeanor, but also for her humility. Another things she is known for is her love for and participation in Lady Ironmen sports. “I played volleyball for six years; basketball for seven years; and soccer for four years,” she wrote. The multi-talented Bess was All-Conference in basketball for the Lady Ironmen and in volleyball as well. She was also an MVP in basketball, she said. When not on the field or on the court, Terayha could always be counted on the yell words of encouragement to her fellow athletes and they in turn would do the same for her whenever she was up to serve or drive a volleyball back across the net to the opposing team, or whenever she was under

the net preparing to put up a shot for two points. On the soccer pitch, Bess’ teammates could always look to her for encouragement and a bit of wisdom about always doing your best in every game and every situation. Bess wrote in her senior questionnaire, “Cherryville High School has been my home for the past four years. I am very sad that it has to come to an end.” In a previous Eagle sports story Lady Ironmen volleyball coach Leigh Kiser noted on the volleyball team’s Senior Night, she is going to miss all of her seniors, adding this tidbit about Terayha, “In her four years at CHS she (Terayha) has been an inspiration to her friends and fellow students and players. I will miss her and her contributions to the team.”

I played football for the first time in high school and made it to a state playoff game in Cherokee.” Cease, always modest about his own abilities, noted he even “…scored a few TDs” in his first season.

STAR From Page 2B ‘a little something’ about him tonight, I thought, how do you say ‘a little something’ about a student so amazing? I have a long list of qualities that I love about Jackson, and there is no way I can talk about all of them tonight, so I have narrowed the list down to his exceptional work ethic, character, and integrity. “I have been privileged to teach Jackson three semesters in a row. First, in English 10 honors, then in honors Psychology, and this semester, in AP Psychology. I always love to see students like Jackson return to my classroom. “During Jackson’s first semester with me, the world was shut down due to COVID. We were sent home for what we thought was going to be two weeks, but ended up being the rest of the year. Like educators across the globe, I began to scramble, trying to figure out how to educate kids 100 percent remotely. I started doing daily Zoom meetings with my classes. Initially, most of my students attended these meetings, but as time went on, the number of students attending grew less and less. By the end, Jackson was one of four students who showed up. He turned in

every assignment on time, emailed me questions, and even finished reading ‘Lord of the Flies’. Jackson did not have to do all these things. He could have taken his ‘A’ he had when we were shut down and started a very early summer vacation like most students did. Instead, he finished what he started because that is who he is. He has a work ethic unlike any I’ve seen over the course of my 21 years as an educator. This trait will carry him far in life. “A story that illustrates Jackson’s outstanding character and integrity is one that happened just this semester in AP Psychology. It was the first day of the second semester, and we had a new student. A second semester senior. It must be hard enough to transfer schools any time, but as a second semester senior, I can only imagine. I was really worried about this student. I wanted him to be happy, to fit in, to enjoy his final days of his high school career. But I did not have to worry long. Jackson immediately handled the situation. He introduced himself and welcome this student to Cherryville High School. Honestly, I figured that this was as far as it would go; a simple, ‘Hey, how are you?’ during 4th period. However, I watched as the friendship grew.

They exchanged numbers and began texting outside of school. Eventually, Jackson asked this student to run track. (Side note: In addition to all of his other admirable qualities, Jackson is a track star.) “At first, the student was reluctant, but eventually he relented and said ‘yes’. Each day Jackson drove this student to track practice and home. He was committed to making sure this student was able to participate. Recently during 4th period, it was announced that track practice was cancelled due to rain. Jackson was relieved, saying that he would use this extra time to catch up on some work. The new student, however, was disappointed. He said if he didn’t go to track, that he would just go home and sit alone. I had tears in my eyes that day thinking about the magnitude of Jackson’s actions. I don’t know if Jackson realizes just how important this little invite to track was. “I could tell you countless stories attesting to Jackson’s outstanding character. He is good. To the core. I wish I had 1,000 Jacksons. He makes my job as a teacher extremely easy. Thank you, Jackson, for choosing me as your Star Teacher. I am truly honored.”

OWENS From Page 4B been reported, will run track in college for the L-R Bears. Additionally, has played football for four years (9-12) and Cross-country (11th). Owens was Varsity All-Conference in football (11th) and track (9, 11, 12), and was a Chief Junior Marshal, an AP Scholar; and a track team MVP (9th, 11th). He has been active in the following clubs: Interact Club, Student Govt., and Desire to Lead. When he was asked to comment on his four years at CHS and on your senior year, he said, “CHS has provided me with an encouraging and loving place to grow and learn. The people at CHS have allowed me to grow to my potential and to learn many valuable lessons. I am grateful for what Cherryville High School has done for me. Also, at his LOI signing on May 9, young Jackson, who loves being an Ironman, said, “I am so grateful for the opportunities Cherryville High School has given

I specifically want to thank Coach (Justin)
