The Cherryville City Council met last Monday night, April 12, at the Cherryville Fire Department, recognizing two employees; one for longevity of service to the City and the other with a proclamation, as well as taking care of items previously discussed at its March work session. Mayor H.L. Beam, III spoke briefly during his “Mayor’s Comments” section talking about the American Recovery (or Rescue) Act that was passed by Congress in which Cherryville could possibly receive as much as $1.78 million to help with various infrastructure issues. The amount, he noted, would be broken up into two parcels of money; $890,000 given sometime this year, and the second $890,000 given out next year.

Center authorities noted need for vigilance as child abuse doesn’t just stop at month of April

“This money will require us to report our usage of it as well as audits and such,” Mayor Beam said, adding that some of the items the money cannot be used for include roads, debt cancellations, and retirement. The money, if we can get it, will go to water and sewer, storm water issues,

COVID salary replacement, and other issues covered in the ARA. According to the web site, taxfoundation.org, in in part reads that in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), “The United States has provided about $6 trillion See COUNCIL, Page 6

The Senior Class Advisors, along with Principal Kevin Doran, Assistant Principal Jada Warnock,

and the school’s counselors, teachers and staff know how important it is to have all the proper information handy as 2020-2021 winds down toward graduation. To that end, Mr. Doran noted a letter with all pertinent information was sent to the graduating seniors and their parents with important end-of-year general information. In addition to making sure the graduating senior has paid his or her fines

to the school and turned in their sports uniforms, it notes all scholarship and college acceptance information must be turned in to the school’s guidance counselors and that the letter’s listed dress code for graduation applies to all seniors, adding that the proper cap and gown, with no personalization or decoration, must be worn at that time.

This year’s high school graduation will take a turn towards normalcy

According to a media release from Gastonia’s The Lighthouse Children’s Advocacy Center, April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and they want everyone to know about and be aware of it. After all, a child’s life may well depend upon it.

Because of COVID concerns, last year’s Gaston County high school graduation ceremonies were a socially distant departure from the usual festivities. This year, the Class of 2021 event will look more like the traditional deal – but with a twist on the time frame. Ergo, Gaston County Schools plans to hold in-person ceremonies for high school graduations and the ceremonies will be held

The graduations were originally scheduled for Saturday, May 29, but Gaston Schools leaders approved a plan at the March 15 meeting that will break graduation up into groups and times to allow for current COVID-19 protocols. Graduation for most Gaston County high schools will be held the night of Friday, May 28. Traditionally, graduations were held on Saturday mornings. Each school would hold

two graduation ceremonies on May 28, with the Cohort A family starting at 5:30 p.m., and Cohort B family starting at 8 p.m. These schools include: Ashbrook, Bessemer City, Cherryville, East Gaston, Forestview, Highland Hunter Huss, North Gaston, South Point, and Stuart W. Cramer. The following schools will hold graduation ceremonies on the following days: Gaston Early College – May 20, Gaston Virtual See NORMALCY, Page 9

WBBI celebrated the March’s Teacher and Staff Member of Month Principal Mr. Todd Dellinger said, “This has been a challenging time for all schools. As a small school with limited funds and no real ability to fundraise during the pandemic, we were looking for ways to provide incentives to inspire our students to meet the challenges we face with hard work and determination that defines FALCON PRIDE.” He noted the school reached out to the great Cherryville Chamber of Commerce with Mrs. Mary Beth Tackett and through an article, Cherryville Eagle editor, Mr. Michael Powell wrote, asking for monthly sponsors to support their Students of the Month and other student incentives. Said Mr. Dellinger, “We were blown away by the response!” He continued, “Within a few days, our community and businesses had covered all the months and we have even been able to recognize the achievements of additional students through their generosity and support. We also wanted to recognize the hard work of our teachers and staff members for their work in helping our students be successful. That is where Mr. Rusty Wise with Wise electric and Mr. Sparky, and Ms. Sarah Chambers, with Peak Resources – Cherryville stepped in. “Both reached out and asked what they could do for our school. I shared with them that in addition to the student incentives we were interested in encouraging our teachers and recognizing their efforts in addition to the efforts of our students. Mr. Wise agreed to sponsor the recognition and gift for our Teacher of the Month and Ms. Chambers agreed to sponsor the recognition and gift for our Staff Member of the Month.

We are a bit ashamed to admit this, but we completely forgot about a very special celebration: National Library Week! In the mid-1950s, Americans were spending less on books and more on other forms of entertainment, such as radios, televisions, and even musical instruments. The ALA joined forces with American Book Publishers in 1954 to form a nonprofit organization called the National Book Committee. The committee had some lofty and ambitious goals, such as encouraging people to read for pleasure during non-work hours and focusing on healthy and happy family lives. In 1957, the committee created a plan for National Library Week, hoping that if people were motivated to read, they would then use and support libraries. With help from the Advertising Council, the first National Library Week was observed in 1958 with the theme, “Wake Up and Read!” It was a success, and was observed again in 1959, with the ALA Council voting to continue the celebration annually. ALA took over full sponsorship of National Library Week when the National Book Committee was disbanded in 1974. This year’s theme was “Welcome to Your Library” and the observance ran from

April 4, through April 10. Gaston County Public Library thought it would be fun to welcome people to their library with fun facts and figures. For example, did you know that there are 10 branches in the GCPL system, and that there are currently 103,779 active GCPL card holders? For an average of $20.16 per person, your library provides access to over 383,000 printed materials as well as virtual and in-person programming, Internet access, and meeting rooms for the public. Last year presented the library with many challenges, and yet, we were still able to plan and host over 4,000 programs for community members of all ages! We are excited to share that the Library of Congress helped promote GCPL during National Library Week by sharing a photo of our old bookmobile. The picture is from the late 1930s, when the building at 115 W. 2nd Ave was still known as the Gastonia Public Library. If you’d like to learn more about the history of your Gaston County Public Library, be sure to check out the link titled “Gaston County Public Library History” found on our Research Guides & Genealogy page. National Library Week doesn’t just bring attention to public libraries, though; it focuses on ALL libraries. Just how many libraries are there? At last count, there were an estimated 116,867 libraries of all kinds in the United States. That’s approximately

9,000 public libraries, almost 3,100 academic libraries, over 98,000 school libraries, 200 some military libraries, almost 900 government libraries, and over 5,100 special libraries (corporate, medical, law, religious, etc.). The ALA has used the slogan “Libraries Transform” for a few years now, pointing out how libraries strengthen local economies by offering technology training/assistance to patrons and assisting individuals applying for jobs. Libraries also help create healthy communities by offering online health and wellness resources. Some even offer fitness classes!

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION

With self-discipline most anything is possible. –Theodore Roosevelt

So, here’s my thing about social media… To quote a good friend of mine (and if he reads this, he will know who he is), “here’s my thing” about social media in all its forms, good and/or (mostly) bad. Let’s start with what I deem to be the best part of the social media phenomena – being able to almost immediately stay in touch with those who you love most, which is (I hope for many of you), your family. While I will confess here and now my outright hatred for, and loathing of, almost all forms of social media, it (so far as I can ascertain) began as a means for folks everywhere to connect and have a platform, if nothing else, with which to share their thoughts, loves, ideas, and, yes, sometimes even fears. I get that it has its place in our mishmash of cultures today and is a way for many to stay connected. Unfortunately, it has become so much more than an ethernet meeting

place, and not all of that even remotely good, by my reckoning. But, as the saying goes, “It is what it is until it ain’t no more!” I’m going to shock many of my column’s three whole readers here by opening up and admitting that I only have a Facebook page for myself. Yes, that’s right… just Facebook for me; nothing else. I don’t do Twitter or Instagram or any of those other social media vehicles currently in use mainly because of the fact I just don’t have the time to invest in them. I’m WAY too busy

doing more important stuff, like tying my shoes or maybe chasing the end of rainbows for that hard-to-find pot of gold. You, know THAT kind of REALLY busy stuff! Also, there’s this little device I like to call a cell phone, see? I normally revert to using that whenever I want to contact my wife, our kids and grandkids, or our family. I also use it quite a bit for work as I call folks to set up interviews or check on sports or news from the original source. And, for me folks, let’s face it (don’t be shocked here, okay), BIG spoiler alert… Facebook is not only NOT an original source for real news, it’s not even, so far as I can tell, a good source for much of anything, in my mind, except getting out recipes or pictures of somebody’s meal they’re currently eating or a cute cat video they have just found. Not exactly the sort of material on which to base major public

I want to speak toward the idea of carefully choosing a life career. I openly admit that I believe God placed the teaching profession in my path, but I don’t know how others have chosen their paths. I know some people are naturally talented and therefore lean toward some careers while others look totally at the financial rewards of a career. My advice would be to begin thinking about it early and try to honestly consider what you would enjoy doing for 30-plus years. Consider your gifts and your talents. Consider careers that make the world a better place. Personally, I say consider careers that would honor God. So, as the year-end finish line approaches, I say to finish strong and make good choices. I certainly believe you will be glad you did.

policy or use to judge someone’s motives for anything important. While we’re at it, let me also be candid here about today’s mainstream media; so far as I’m concerned, they’re nothing more than a glorified, “prettied-up”, high dollar version of – you guessed it – another useless Facebook page. I feel they all need to be scrapped and rebuilt from the bottom up and their “journalists”

(and I once again use that term loosely; VERY loosely!) either fired or sent back to school to at least learn the basics of true journalism. And for the record folks, please know that just because you can trot out a phone camera and snap a picture of something to place it on Facebook or one of the social media sites and call it “news” absolutely DOES NOT make you a journalist. It really does take a bit

more than that so please spare yourselves the foolishness of playing into the hands of those who would lie to you and tell you otherwise in order to get a story at ANY expense! That said, enjoy your Facebook experience. Just be careful of what you put on there. It might just come back and bite you in the rear when you least expect it. Then YOU will BE the news!

Violence in America… don’t be surprised! The most recent attack at the United States Capitol Glenn Mollette will Guest Editorial most likely insure a permanent fence and additional security. The attack which resulted in the loss of life for a long-serving Capitol police officer and the attacker is another senseless violent act. Recently we have heard about a brutal attack on a Filipino woman in New York City. A 75-year-old Asian woman was brutally attacked in San Francisco and 10 people were killed by a lone gunman at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. A business park shooting in Orange, California left four people dead, including a nineyear-old boy, who died in the arms of his mother who was trying to protect him. A lone gunman walked into various spas in Atlanta recently and took the lives of eight people. None of these violent attacks made sense. According to the FBI there is a violent crime every 24.6 seconds in

the United States. One murder occurs every 30.5 minutes. One rape every 3.9 minutes. One robbery every 1.7 minutes. One aggravated assault every 30 seconds. One burglary every 22.6 seconds and one motor vehicle theft every 40.9 seconds. You can read more at FBI.gov. Chicago statistics show shootings and murders were up 50 percent in 2020 with 875 people who died from gun violence. Seventy-eight percent of the victims were black, according to ABC Eye Witness News of Chicago. Capitol Hill was tragically and fatally surprised last Friday. They were surprised on January 6, as Capitol police never imagined they would face such a menacing mob. The woman walking down the street or someone in a grocery store seldom suspects a lunatic is on the prowl. We let our guards down. We want to believe we are safe but we aren’t. Because of so much violence in our society, people are unnerved by a stranger knocking on the door. Someone walking too close to us in the store or riding our rear bumper on the highway causes concern. Unfortunately, violence typically

happens when we are least suspecting. While our leaders will be strengthening the fence around the Capitol, I hope they will strengthen our security on the southern border. About 5,000 people a day are entering our nation. Many are paying Mexican gangsters up to $8,000 each for help in reaching our border. Are they going to come here and be law abiding people? Since President Biden doesn’t want to return to the detention policies of Donald Trump, thousands of asylum applicants are being released into the country. These people are not going to remain on the border. They are coming to your town in Iowa, Utah, Ohio and Vermont and all the rest of the country. The fence around the Capitol will become a monument to the future of our nation. Many third world houses in Brazil, South Africa and many places in Mexico are surrounded by walls or fences. If we don’t do better with our security on the Border look for most houses and subdivisions in America to follow this same course. And, don’t be surprised.

ABUSE From Page 1 The release noted the Advocacy Center is planning an “…awareness campaign focusing on prevention and pushing resources and information into the community via social media.” The campaign also includes placing blue Mylar pinwheels outside some of the County buildings, including at the Administration Building in downtown Gastonia. The blue pinwheel represents innocence and reflects the bright future all children deserve. Child Abuse Prevention Month was established in 1983, and the Lighthouse provides community prevention education specifically focused on child sexual abuse prevention, body safety, internet safety, and human trafficking prevention. As stated in the media release, “According to national data, one in 10 children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.” From 2019 to March 25, 2021, the Lighthouse has served nearly 700 alleged victims of abuse. The pinwheel gardens will be located at the following places: the Gastonia Police Department, the Gaston County Police Department, the Mt. Holly Police Department, Gaston County DHHS, and at the Gaston County Administration Building. Additionally, blue lights will be displayed at the Gaston County Courthouse and Sheriff’s Office. According to the group’s website, thelighthousecac. com, and for those who wish to know just what a Children’s Advocacy Center is, they “… provide a child-friendly, safe and neutral location for forensic interviews to take place. Law enforcement and Child Protective Services investigators are part of an investigating team for children who are alleged victims of abuse. It is also a place where the child and non-offending family members receive support, crisis intervention and referrals for mental health and medical treatment. “The main objective is to

reduce trauma to child victims by bringing all disciplines together and sharing information more efficiently to minimize duplication and trauma to the child. These multidisciplinary teams are made up of law enforcement officers, Child Protective Service workers, prosecutors, advocates, therapists, and medical personnel. The team meets regularly to communicate and review the cases beginning with the victim’s initial outcry through the investigation, treatment and prosecution.” They receive referrals as children come to the Children’s Advocacy Center after being referred from law enforcement or Child Protective Services. Once children are interviewed, advocacy services begin and connect the family to other community referrals such as counseling services or medical exams. For those who wonder how they can help, one of the first steps – and perhaps the main step – is to report any concerns of child abuse/ neglect to law enforcement or Child Protective Services by calling (704) 862-7555. Also, education is important as it helps bring awareness by spreading the word to the community. The website noted that participation in various fundraisers/events throughout the year is also important as well. For more information, interested individuals and advocates are asked to please contact Heather Kauffman at (704) 862-6761, if a group or organization is interested in having The Lighthouse speak at any community meeting or event. For her part, Heather Kaufman said by phone, “Child abuse doesn’t stop at the end of April, but we should be vigilant (about it) at all times.” Lastly, to donate time or supplies, again contact Kauffman at (704) 862-6761 regarding any specific supply needs.

I could understand wanting some normalcy in your life. Luckily, we, as disciples, have not been called to a normal life. Praise God that we have been called to more than simply twiddling our thumbs. We have been called by the grace of God to present a picture of His kingdom here and now. Thank goodness that Peter’s stint as a fisherman didn’t last long. After encountering the risen Christ on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, he heads back to Jerusalem. It is in that upper room in Jerusalem that the disciples are filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter gives the first sermon of the early church, and the church officially begins. What I love about the verse that I selected for this month’s reflection is once again the disciples find themselves at a “now what” moment. The Holy Spirit

will be answered by God in due time, and the more we pray, and the more we show God’s goodness, the clearer the vision becomes. We live in a time of uncertainty, and often the clearest path forward isn’t readily visible. Yet as I read through this Scripture again, what becomes clear to me is that so often in my life when faced with uncertainty I have neglected doing the most important thing, which is praying. That doesn’t mean that I don’t pray about big decisions, but very often I spend more time rationalizing than I do praying. With this in mind, this week I want to encourage you to pray more frequently and more fervently. For we know that God hears our prayers and we know that God answers when we call on Him. Grace and Peace!

ture, the more I have become convinced that prayer and action are inseparable. If we do things without first praying about them, we miss out on where God is calling us, for if we are not constantly praying, we are missing out on the greatest source of communication we have with God. By that same token though if prayer is separated from our actions, and we do not live like we pray, we are not showing God to the world. I think in this season after Pentecost, what we call “ordinary time” in the life of the church the challenge for the church and the challenge for us as individuals is to become those who pray and show the goodness of God to all with who we come into contact. I think we would do well to take a page from these disciples, trusting that the “Now what?” question

has flooded them, Peter has given that first sermon, and yet they aren’t really sure how to proceed. They went from being a community of roughly 82 people to a community of 3,082 people overnight. It is hard to know what to do with a change that significant. So, the disciples do something countercultural, something I think we as the 21st century church could really take a lesson from; they devote themselves to prayer and showing God’s goodness. It seems so simple, devote yourself to prayer and show God’s goodness to the community and to the world. However, in the church as we are currently constructed today, we are good at one of those two things, not both, and certainly not together. The more I read Scrip-

Acts that are tearing America apart one Constitutional Article at a time. Here's my message: In the end, that uneducated child, that sick and infected migrate worker or MS13 gang member or similar undocumented criminal, child molester, rapist, or murderer will suddenly and without notice change your life forever, and not in a good way. America is in a deep state of denial. Nothing good is going to come out of our current situation.

old babies in the river and throwing three- and five-year-old little girls over a fourteen-foot border wall then running away. You may be curious as to why they would do such a hideous act when they could have walked those youngsters into American through an unguarded opening just a few hundred yards away. Well, here's why: first, it was an intentional act of hostile aggression by the Mexican cartels who wanted to send a pointed message to America. They intended those children to die from the fall so America would have blood on their hands, giving the anti-border wall folks more talking points. Second: the cartels were sending us a pointed message that they were in control of the border and had the power and wherewithal to do anything they wanted, including murdering children at will. Those of you who are reading this and still have control of your conscience but are having trouble sleeping at night may want to know of an organization that feels your pain and anxiety. This organization professes that if you think you cannot support the kind of policies and hypocrisy taking place in America, they encourage you to WALK AWAY from it. Walk away from the people, policies and politics that conflict with your American values.

Council also approved the agreement regarding Terrace Estates subdivision/ Black Rock School Road water line upgrades. City Manager Cash again spoke to Council about the proposed City policy on the water taps for Main Street’s Revitalization plan, noting the 16 businesses whose taps will have to be relocated to behind their existing buildings. He noted it was important to incentivize the listed businesses in order to get them off of their old line and onto the new line. Mention was made of a “generous donation” by an unnamed benefactor that will greatly help this part of the program out. “We will have a meeting May 17, at 6 p.m., at the Community Building to explain this to them,” he said. Mr. Cash handed out a draft copy of the City’s 2021-2022 draft budget, which he said is “still a work in progress.” In addition to there being a five percent electrical discount in it, Mr. Cash handed out a copy of the proposed draft budget’s notes detailing other General, Electric, Water/Sewer, and All Fund highlights with all changes,

It's becoming outright depressing to witness the gross hypocrisy taking place in America and permeating our daily lives. Many of us try to avoid this disorder, but to no avail, falling victim to mass depression, overeating, alcoholism and untimely suicides. It's horrid, devastating, and it's everywhere! Hypocrisy is present at all government levels, our local communities, our educational systems, businesses and even our churches. With no end in sight, it's spreading unbridled at epidemic proportions. The sad truth is that here in America, we have only ourselves to blame. Slowly over the decades, we allowed politicians (both Democrat and Republican) to become much too powerful and greedy, allowing subversive and self-serving corruption to prioritize serving their country and the American people with fairness, justice and even humanity. Our entire political system is corrupt and vile. Americans' welfare and safety are no longer a priority or concern of most wealthy and elite elected political operatives. This is evident in law enforcement's weakening and the disregarding our Constitutional rights and the rule of law. Justice is not being served, and it is evident in the neglect we see in addressing many serious issues such as the southern border crisis, the advocacy and defense of criminals over victims' rights, condoning the inhumane treatment of women and children in the hands of known criminals who beat, rape, abuse, and sell them into sexual slavery. The Americans who support and encourage this despicable and inhumane behavior are not third-world despots. They are wealthy, fat and arrogant bureaucrats that we elected and are staying in power by changing, manipulating and ignoring the rule of law. These people

He received a certificate from Mayor H.L. Beam, III. Also, Professional Municipal Clerk Paige H. Green was recognized later in the meeting by Mayor Beam and the Council with a proclamation recognizing the week of May 2 through May 8, as Professional Municipal Clerk’s Week. Said Mayor Beam as he read from the proclamation, “We further extend appreciation to our Professional Municipal Clerk, Paige H. Green and to all Professional Municipal Clerks for the vital services they perform and their exemplary dedication to the communities they represent.” The week noted, added Mayor Beam, is the 52nd Annual Professional Municipal Clerks Week. The first order of regular business pertained to considering a final resolution formally authorizing the sale $8.7 million in Public Improvement bonds. Representatives from the firm, Sanford Holshouser, LLP, of Carrboro, headed by attorney Bob Jessup, were present at the meeting.

Lady Ironmen softball team pick up two wins last week Overall record so far is 4-5; steadily improving team also 2-1 in SPC 1A play by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Interim softball head coach Callie Hahn said last week was a big week for the Lady Ironmen as the team picked up two wins. According to Hahn, her squad has won four of its last five games to move into second place in the Southern Piedmont 1A Conference. Hahn noted a “wild game” started off the week on Monday, April 12, as the CHS ladies hosted the Lady Rams of Highland Tech in a non-conference matchup. Hahn noted her ladies “got behind big” early in the game, getting down 10-1

after four innings, and being down 12-4, heading to the bottom of the sixth inning. Yet the CHS ladies dug down deep and found the strength they needed to stage a comeback as the sixth inning saw the ladies plate six runs, highlighted by Amber Roach’s threerun homerun to right field to cut the lead to 12-10. Then pitcher Raegan Nowoweicki came on in relief of starter Laila Davis to hold the Lady Rams for some Lady Ironmen lategame magic. As Coach Hahn noted, a Highland Tech error in the bottom of the seventh tied the game at 12-all, and after giving up a run in the top of the eighth, Davis doubled, tying the score again, after a Rileigh Kiser triple, sending the game into the ninth inning. The Lady Ironmen fi-

Even though it looks like she beat the ball to the bag, the umpire called CHS player Faith Anthony out after a great bunt seconds earlier.

nally won the game in the ninth on a base hit to right by freshman Riley Bryant. Coach Hahn said her team never gave up after being down and it was a great team win. Hahn said Raegan Nowoweicki got the win, striking out six Lady Rams batters and giving up one unearned run. Hitters for the CHS squad were Kaitlyn Newsome (2-5; 3 runs scored), Kiser (2-6), Aleigha Whisnant (2-6; 3 RBIs), Davis (2-6; an RBI), Faith Anthony (2-6; an RBI), Roach (3-4; an HR; and 3 RBIs), and Bryant was 3-6, with the game-winning RBI. The ladies were back at it on Tuesday, April 13, as they hit the road to play at rival BCHS. Coach Hahn said her ladies played a complete game and pitcher Raegan Nowowiecki had her best outing, picking up the pitching win by striking 13 hitters, giving up two hits and two unearned runs. Said Hahn, “Our CHS ladies outhit the Yellow Jackets 8-2 in the 7-2 victory. Once again, Amber Roach led our offense with a 2 for

Lady Ironman softball player Faith Anthony lays down a bunt in last week’s game at BCHS. (photos by MEP/The Eagle/CF Media) 3 night, and four RBIs.” Hahn also noted Riley Bryant went 2 for 3, with an RBI, and Aleigha Whisnant was 2 for 4. Other ladies getting base hits were Kaitlyn Newsome, Laila Davis, Aleigha Whisnant, Raegan Nowowiecki, and Rileigh Kiser. “Our team has been steadily improving each

day as the season heads toward the home stretch,” said Coach Hahn. The ladies were off the rest of last week and is scheduled to host three contests this week. On Monday, April 19, as Piedmont Charter came to town, and on Tuesday, April 20, Highland Tech again came to Cherryville.

On Thursday, April 22, league leader Lincoln Charter comes to Cherryville. All home games start at 5 p.m. Currently, the Lady Ironmen are 4-5, overall; 2-1 in SPC 1A play. (Additional stats and information by Brian Kiser and Susan L. Powell)

CHS catcher Faith Anthony has the ball firmly in her glove for the strike as the Lady 'Jackets batter swings and misses.

Number 16, Aleigha Whisnant, is all attention as she zones in on the pitch coming her way in last Tuesday’s away game against BCHS.

Another CHS batter gets a base hit as Aleigha Whisnant puts one into the infield.
