Cherryville’s Who-Ville; Christmas Parade back on the agenda for 2022

City; Chamber staff say they’ve “…put together one big holiday season!”

Cherryville Chamber of Commerce Director Mary Beth Tackett said recently this Christmas season is shaping up to be a good one. She and the folks at the City and the Chamber want everyone to “…celebrate the holidays together!”

She also noted that sponsorship opportunities are now available.

“The Christmas season is upon us!” she said, adding, “We’ve put together one big holiday season and we will have the ‘Christmas on Main Street/Who-Ville’ on Friday, Dec. 2, from 5 until 10 p.m., at the Mini-Park in Downtown Cherryville, located at 219 East Main Street.”

She continued, “Once again, we’ll uniquely celebrate the holidays with the

theme of Dr. Seuss’ ‘WhoVille’, as we will transform our Main Street and Downtown area into a scene straight out of the holiday classic ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’!”

And – said Mrs. Tackett – it gets even better as on Saturday, Dec.10, starting at 10:30 a.m., “We’ll have another exciting Christmas Parade! Once again, it’ll be one of the biggest parades in the region with floats, bands, beauty queens, Shriners, and of course, Santa Claus, and more! The Cherryville Christmas Parade; complete with a special Grand Marshal chosen for this year, celebrates another successful holiday season for Downtown Cherryville.”

Tackett noted “…these celebrations of community and holiday spirit are expensive promotions. The City of Cherryville and the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce underwrite most of the expenses associated with these events, but additional funds are needed.”

While it wasn’t quite the “Red Wave” the GOP hoped for nationally in the Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022 midtern elections, and though some seats have still to be decided, Gaston County’s GOP did very well at the polls last week.

Cherryville honors all who served at Veterans Day ceremony

Parade scheduled for Friday, Nov. 11, 2022 canceled due to weather; moved to Post 100 building by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

There was to be a Veterans Day Parade, on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022, but nature had other ideas, as a late in the season hurricane – named Nicole (later a tropical storm) – caused rain showers to be forecast, effectively curtailing what would have been a great Veterans Day Parade.

Nevertheless, honoring those who served still came to fruition on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022 at 10:30 a.m., as many Cherryville veterans and their family members and caregivers, along with members of the Post 100 Ladies Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion, met at the Post 100 American Legion Building to pay honor and tribute to those who served this great coun-

try, protecting her from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, many of whom gave their lives to that end.

The parade was to have begun with all veterans meeting in parking lot between City Hall and the old BB&T bank building at 9:45 a.m., then ending at the Mini-Park, with the keynote speaker being the Rev. Dr. Billy Lowe, pastor of Cherryville’s First Presbyterian Church, himself

an Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War.

In addition to Rev. Lowe, Cherryville Mayor H.L. Beam, III spoke, reading aloud from a proclamation supporting “Operation Green Light” which he then presented to Post 100 Commander Mike Robinson.

Guest speaker the Rev. Dr. Billy Lowe, pastor of Cherryville’s First Presbyterian Church, and an Air Force veteran of the Viet-

nam War, spoke about how emotional Veterans Day is for him.

“We are grateful for your patriotic service,” said Dr. Lowe to the gathered veterans. “Just 50 years ago this day I was making preparations to leave for Vietnam. You all deserve big pats on the back for what you did!”

The Rev. Dr. Lowe then talked about loving to teach others and noted one of his

remains.

According to a recent media release from Gaston County Police, on Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022 at about 11:30 a.m., officers from their department responded to the area of Aderholdt Road, and Gaston-Webb Chapel Road, near Cherryville, after a hunter reported finding human

Sergeant Josh Hamlin, of the GCPD’s Criminal Investigations Unity noted in the release that GCPD Crime Scene detectives and the Medical Examiner’s Office “…are currently processing the scene.”

He continued, “No identification of the remains has been made at this time. The investigation is ongoing and anyone who may have any information, should contact the Gaston County Police Department at (704) 866-3320 or call 911.”

Event to feature Arts and Crafts vendors and local merchants

Downtown Cherryville will host their second Main Street Holiday Market and Small Business Weekend on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We’ll have vendors selling all sorts of handcrafted gifts for Christmas,” said David Day, Cherryville’s

Downtown Director.

“And, our Main Street merchants are participating and offering specials,” explained Day. “So, we’re also billing the event as Small Business Weekend” which is a national event.

To add to the festivities, Day said there will be baked goods, coffee, tea, and cider for sale. Local food trucks will participate as well.

“We think we’ll have a

great atmosphere for our guests,” said Day. “As always, we’ll have our Main Street decked out in Christmas decorations.”

The vendors will be set up at the Cherryville mini park and in front of the Main Street/Chamber office on Main Street.

Adding to the atmosphere, the nearby and newly renovated Heritage Park will be open and decorated for Christmas.

Featuring restored historic buildings from the turn of the last century, the park showcases Cherryville’s rich heritage.

Vendors wishing to participate should contact Mary Beth Tackett or David Day at the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce, by calling (704) 435- 3451. More information will also be on the cityofcherryville. com and Cherryville Main Street Facebook page.

Stephens continued, “it is through community support and the organization of the United Way staff and volunteers that we seek to bring joy to the lives of senior citizens in the most need.”

Senior citizens who would like to request a gift, please contact the United Way office at (704) 864-4554.

The application can also

● Collect items (comforters, blankets, sheets, towels, books, etc.) for senior citizens at your workplace from Nov. 1 until Nov. 30;

14th Annual Community Thanksgiving Meal is Nov. 19

Drive-thru service starts at 11 a.m. lasts until 2 p.m.

Saturday’s, Nov. 19, 2022 14th Annual Cherryville Thanksgiving Community Meal starts this year at 11 a.m., and lasts until 2 p.m., and will be a ‘drive-thru’ event, just like last year, said Tammy Campbell, organizer of volunteers for the meal.

It will again be held at the Post 100 American Legion building, located at 215 N. Pink St., Cherryville. Mrs. Campbell said it is again sponsored by Food Lion.

Campbell said it will once again be, “…basically a ‘To-Go Only’ operation,” adding also it is on a “while supplies last/first come first

serve” basis.

Mrs. Campbell noted in a previous Eagle article they fed, “…838 people” and “…started running out of certain (food) items by the end (around 2 p.m.).”

Campbell also stated that – at last year’s event – “Since it was all takeout, I’m not sure how many were shut-ins, but I do know all the Meals on Wheels people in our area did get a meal and that was 36 plates” at that time.

Tammy noted each church last year sent someone over to pick up their shut-in’s meals, adding, “Some neighbors came by to get meals for the ones they knew could not get out.

As for those who will be helping out this year, Tammy noted, “(We) still (have the) same people; Food Lion donated the food and a crew from Food Lion and I work with Cher-

ryville Area Ministries to put the dinner on. I have volunteers from several churches and organizations coming to help.”

Campbell noted the Legion Building’s parking lot, as in year’s past, will be set up and divided off by orange traffic cones directing the incoming vehicles who came by to pick up plates where to go once they entered, and where to exit after they got their meals.

Campbell noted her volunteers in the Legion building’s kitchen will prepare the meals – with everyone masked and gloved, of course, as per post-pandemic rules and procedures.

For any last-minute questions about the Thanksgiving meal event, call (704) 435-3816.

3D printing business opens up in Downtown Cherryville

Future of toys changing; 3D printing is helping that move forward by

One of Cherryville’s newest businesses is owned and operated by Jas Taylor, who grew up in Gastonia, but moved to town about two years ago. Taylor brings a new, unique experience to the small town “Where Life Blossoms” – the art and craft of 3D printing.

Taylor said he got into the 3D printing business because, as he has always been creative and loved making things, even as a kid, as he got older he couldn’t work on cars anymore, so, as he said, “I used to love to draw and build custom cars, but age has crept in and I can’t really work on cars anymore, I decided to give 3D printing a go about four yrs ago and I just dove right in!”

The self-professed “huge toy collector” noted that, before opening in Cherryville, “…I was running up to 10 machines 24/7, making custom toys; Transformers, SilverHawks and (Teenage Mutant) Ninja Turtles; those were always my favorites.”

Taylor said he remarried two years ago and has seven children, all mostly adult now, except his 13and 7-year-olds, who live with him and his wife. As for who helps out at the store, he said, “My son, Bradon Taylor (16) helps me out on Saturdays, when he can. Otherwise, I’m there seven days a week, once I get off at my fulltime job.”

In addition to owning his “print3D” printing business, Jas said his “fulltime” job is as a store manager at Mr. Tire, in Kings Mountain.

“That’s why the print3D store hours are

later hours,” he said.

Jas said he and his family decided to move from Gastonia, “…to get away from the craziness there.”

“As I said, we moved to Cherryville about two years ago. We liked Cherryville because of the small town feel and the people we met were extremely nice and inviting. They still are.”

While Taylor knows that 3D printing has really blossomed from what it started out as to what it is today, he is quick to note, “When I opened the store I didn’t have a direction I wanted to go toward. I’ve been changing, to accommodate my customers as the business grows. I am focused on supplying the products my customers want and need at a fair price instead of them having to wait on deliveries. This is a new concept and there are not any stores you can just go to and buy a printer, or filament, or even call to just ask a question.”

He continued, “That was my motive. I educate people that haven’t heard of 3D printing or know what it is. I answer questions. I repair their printers and I offer everything they need to continue in the hobby. Now I have transitioned into a toy and hobby (collectible) store a little at a time and that has just stemmed from the custom toys that I enjoy 3D printing. As a collector it just seemed like a good

mix.”

His goal moving forward, he said, is “…to teach people that they can create whatever interests them at home, with their family, on their own printer. Family time is very important, and people of all ages can enjoy (3D) printing whatever makes them happy.”

As for there being other facets of the business/industry he would like to explore. Jas replied, “Yes. I would like to get more involved in educational classes to give a more indepth lesson on using 3D printers and the benefits of them.”

He also noted he would also like to get the Gaston County school board to introduce 3D printers in their school system.

Said Taylor, “It is a great tool for teaching everything from art, math, engineering, etc.”

Print3D’s hours are Monday through Friday, 5:30 to 9 p.m.; and on Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 a.m., to 6 p.m.

For those interested in talking with him about what he does or a custom 3D print job, he said either call him at (704) 689-1157, during his work hours, or email him at print3dbig@ gmail.com.

OPINION

There are many reasons we should all give ‘Thanks’ this season, not the least of which is, of course, it is the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving –in all its gluttonous glory – and we all should be glad (and VERY thankful) that God, in His infinite mercy and grace, allows us all another day on this side of the dirt, as the old saying goes, giving us yet more time to reflect on all our sins, such as why we eat too much, why we watch football too much, and the big one… What the crap happened to the RED WAVE!?

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.

No, seriously folks; while many nations celebrate some form of a Christmas holiday, or an Easter holiday, or just about any religious holiday, so far as I know, Thanksgiving is a one-of-

a-kind, truly unique American holiday. And, if the legends and various versions of its history are true and correct, then we have Indigenous People, a.k.a. Native Americans, to thank for said holiday, and also for saving our White, European ancestors’ scrawny, pasty-faced hides by basically feeding them from the largesse of their bounty; i.e. deer, or pemican (sort of a beef jerky made from either buffalo or probably deer… well, hopefully from some large animal…); corn; probably some sort of squash; and, well, I don’t really know what else. Maybe fish or shellfish, but, again, I’m not all that knowledge-

able about the original feast, so, you might want to Google that when you get the time. I’m pretty sure there were no Harris Teeters’ or Publix or Ingles grocers around then, so…

My dear, departed, saintly grandmother’s, who always told me I had some (read: not too much [sadly]) Native American blood in my family line (they said Cherokee and possibly some Chickasaw… again, I don’t know for certain…) were quick to point out that as one group of my ancestors (Welsh and Scots) came across the Big Pond to settle here, the other group, who – coincidentally – were already here (thank you very much); trying to figure out a way to NOT let their new White ‘friends’ eat them out of house and home (never mind steal their land!), and trying to make sure the new kids in the neighborhood (again, the White ones!) fit in. Also, there was that nasty business about the various

Thanksgiving and a lifestyle of saying ‘thank you’

Thanksgiving is coming and it’s never out of season to say ‘thank you.’

Say ‘thank you’ to your local politicians. The majority of those who pursue an office, lose. Losing is tough and usually expensive. Thank them for their interest in your community or state and for the time they gave making their case and pur-suing votes.

although it hadn’t been used for many years. On Thanksgiving, I set the table, took a pic-ture, and sent it to her, saying we were thankful to be en-joying the beautiful set. She sent a note back that read, it looks like it was meant to be. It really has helped me, seeing it happy. Thank you from my heart. – Diane Ensch, Mansfield, Texas.

Thank you! Thank you! It was humbling for me to know that I had that kind of impact on someone’s life by just being my-self, doing my job. – Michael Shearing, Port Angeles, Washington.

and sundry horrendous diseases we White folk brought with us being a major problem for our new-found Native American benefactors and erstwhile, uh… neighbors. Those sort of got WAY out of hand (WAY!)!

Anyway, from what I can remember about how things might have gone down, first Thanksgiving meal-wise, and in spite of all those “woke” revisionist versions of history, which I believe are equally suspect as much as the “main narrative” about said meeting and feast, I can’t help but think the greatest loser in all of this historical (or ‘hysterical’) “jibba-jabba” is that great American bird, the turkey! Yes,

that’s right… the TURKEY!

One wonders, had Ben Franklin gotten his way, that august and notso-stupid multicolored bird would now be gracing all of our currency, our national seal, and whatever else we can find the image of another great American bird – the Bald Eagle – plastered on nowadays.

Also, has anyone ever even tasted bald eagle? I can’t imagine anything that eats dead critters or kills its food for a living even remotely tasting like, well, turkey, or chicken, or duck, or even that mysterious and elusive critter, the Turducken! Plus, have you seen the talons on one of

those big, white-headed buggers? I’m told they are powerful enough to crush a baseball! While I don’t know about that, I’m fairly sure a turkey wouldn’t do much to a baseball except to peck at it or try and hatch it.

Just saying…

At any rate, here’s hoping all y’all have a great Thanksgiving feast whether it’s turkey, turducken, venison, or roast beast, or even – yeck! – a veggie version of some mystery meat.

Enjoy folks… and stay away from trying the eagles this season. Or EVER!

Be blessed everybody; have a great holiday season, and Happy Turkey Day y’all!

Our world would be better if we all said ‘thank you’ and ‘please’ as often as possible. Amazingly many people don’t know how to say ‘thank you’, or ‘please’.

If someone does anything for you say ‘thank you’. Even if they haven’t necessarily done it for you but are helping others, then say ‘thank you’. Thank your community leaders, teachers, politicians, clergy, this media source, family, friends, and anyone who is somehow positively impacting your life.

Teaching our kids to say ‘thank you’ and to say it often is well worth our time for us and them.

Here are some ‘thank you’ notes from Reader’s Digest (RD.com June 2023).

• About 15 years ago, we purchased a dining set from an older couple after seeing their ad. When we went to pick it up, it was apparent to me that the lady was having a hard time seeing it go,

• As a volunteer, I recorded several audiobooks for the blind. I received a braille card that said ‘thanks’ for my work. Fortunately, the sender also enclosed a reading chart for the braille words. It took me 90 minutes to fig-ure out what the card said. It reminded me of how blessed I am and how much I can keep giving. –Yen Chou, Taipei, Taiwan.

• My coworker sent me this heartwarming e-mail after I was laid off: Thank you for giving me a chance way back when. This position got me off state assistance, paid for my car, and has blessed me and my son in so many ways. You have been an amazing mentor and friend, Mike. The best! I’ve learned so much and not just about pest control. To speak up for myself. To be less emotional when things go wrong. To have patience with myself and oth-ers. Thank you for being so incredibly patient with me and my thousands of questions and mistakes! It has helped my confidence in so many ways.

• After I had worked as a mail carrier for 30 years, it was time to retire. I put a note in each of my 436 customers’ mailboxes, thanking them for allowing me to serve them over the years. I never expected that on my last day so many would hang balloons on the boxes and put out so many beautiful ‘thankyous’. I hope I delivered all the mail properly that day, as there were tears of gratitude filling my eyes. – Kay Scott, Bucyrus, Ohio.

• I was gram’s favorite, and she was mine. She passed away in September 2016, at 100½ – she always said you earned the “half” when you got to be her age. To my surprise, I received a card in the mail that my sweet grandma had tucked away for my aunt to send after she passed. It read, ‘Melis, thank you for all the nice things you did for me. Remember, this is the year you’ll meet your man. Be cool and play it safe. Don’t screw it up. Be careful. I’ll be watching you. All my love, Gram. – Melissa Wegman, Cincinnati, Ohio.

You can find these and other thank you notes on RD.com Reader’s Digest, June 3, 2022.

So, remember…Thanksgiving season is here. Let’s all aim for a lifestyle of saying ‘thank you’.

Beautiful Downtown Main Street Cherryville

I don’t know how many people in Cherryville and the sur-rounding areas have noticed the amazing transformation of the Main Street downtown area. I’m sure there were many complaints and remarks made when all of the construction and repaving was underway. I can understand how inconven-ient progress can be when it is underway and travel times are extended. However, I think most people would agree at how good the street and the buildings look now after the facelift.

“Vickie’ s” (“Ellen’s”). My dad would visit “Fergusons Hardware” and “Mabry’s Western Auto” and then rest for a while in the car to give us time to shop. He realized how important our shopping time was to us.

My husband, Tommy said he visited “Doty’s” and “Fatty’s” and “Dayberry’s Paint Store” during those years. He could al-ways find something he needed in one of them.

of places to visit in Cherryville including the Cherryville Historical Museum in the old City Hall Build-ing on Main Street. Built in 1911, the building held the City Hall, Fire Department, Police Department, court room and the jail. When the city built new buildings, they sold the property by auction to Claude and Mabel Beam. The Beam Estate do-nated it back to the city to be used as a museum.

The Cherryville downtown holds special memories for me. When I was a child my mom would have my dad drive the two of us to Cherryville many Saturday afternoons and let us shop for several hours. He would park our car on the street across from the Fire Department near

Some of my favorite stores were “Matthews Belk’s” and “Roses Five & Dime”. Another favorite place for the two of us was “The Princess Beauty Shop” where Velma Day gave great perms and haircuts. I always appreciated her kindness and those of the other beauticians as they tried to fix our hair just the way we wanted it fixed.

There are still plenty

At the pre-sent time the museum is open on Saturdays and by appoint-ment only. I stopped by recently and met two great guys there who are more than willing to discuss Cherryville history.

I love living in a place where the past is treated with respect. As a teacher, I used to remind my students that it is easier to know where you are going when you know where you have been.

It still works for me.

A bit about
American Thanksgiving feast

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. As we go into this amazing time of year, we ought to approach it with a spirit of reverence and gratitude. God truly has been so good! We, together should be singing the oldtime hymn, “I Just Want to Thank You Lord!”

My prayer is that you will take time to reflect on your personal journey with God during this season. I’m sure that as you do, you can think of at least one instance when you were up against it, and God delivered you. It may have been a bout with sickness or a devastating loss of a loved one. It may have been a financial crisis. It may have been an em-ployment situation or a spiritual battle. The realization is that

Thankful For Family

(3rd Part of the “THANKFUL” series)

One of my colleagues told me that she was going out of town to visit her nephew who was in the hospital. He had been hit by a car, and she was grateful that he was alive. However, she was upset that her sister, the mother of the boy, didn’t respond in the same manner as she did. Instead, her sister asked, “Did he do it on purpose?” According to my coworker, the mother didn’t seem to care that her son could have been killed and that he was injured. My friend further explained that her nephew had a strained relationship with his mom. As an educator and minister, I have heard many sad stories like this one. There are many broken families or toxic relationships among relatives for various reasons. One reason I believe is the lack of gratitude or appreciation for one another.

Thanks or Complaints

Philippians 1:3 (NLT) says, “Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.” How many of you thank God every single time you think of your spouse, children, or parents? I’ll admit it. I have been guilty of complaining about them occasionally, instead of being grateful for them; we all have. However, when it becomes a habit of only focusing on the negative, instead of the positives, it will put a damper on our attitudes and actions toward our loved ones. It’s easy to point out another person’s faults, but not as easy to see our own. Luke 6:41 (ESV) states, “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” However, we must strive to overlook or forgive offenses, and begin looking for those qualities that we like.

The Urgency of Today

I challenge you to find ways to show gratitude to your family members: TODAY! Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Memorial services are for bringing comfort to the living, but those that have passed on can’t hear the accolades. Express your heartfelt love and appreciation to them: NOW! Let your children know that you are proud of them and grateful that you were chosen to parent them. Psalm 90:12 (NLT), “Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.” Also, don’t forget to pray for them, and speak a blessing upon them .

PRAY THIS PRAYER:

“Lord, I am grateful to be a child of the living God. I adore you and praise you for being faithful, good, and merciful to me. Thank you for my family; they mean a lot to me. You have given me these individuals to love forever, and I know they love me. Forgive me for complaining about them. They are not perfect, and neither am I. Yet, they enrich my life every day. Help me to overlook their mistakes, and I pray they will forgive me for mine. Remind me to speak words of encouragement to them. I pray they will always know that I love them. In Jesus’ name I pray - Amen.”

we must evaluate this season of life while seek-ing out what only God could do that leaves us with no other expression except, “Thank you, Lord!”

For many, saying ‘thank you’ seems to be more difficult than ever to say these days. So many have an entitlement mentality attitude that causes them to forget that we are just passing through. Somewhere we have been deceived into believing that the world owes us something. We even bring this entitlement mentality over into our spiritual life.

We act like we’re doing God a favor by being in church and contrib-uting to His causes. But church family and community –we have been blessed beyond measure! So many of us have been raised in the sup-portive atmosphere of a loving family. We’ve always had the resources to acquire what we wanted. Compared to this old world we live in, we’re blessed, Amen? Yet, we too fall short of the glory of God, and we find ourselves complaining, frustrated, and audibly questioning why we

should say, “Thank you, Lord.”

We should say, “Thank You, Lord” because God is God, and He has been good! It should not take a holiday to remind us to say, “Thank You, Lord.” As November 2022 comes our way, please do not allow this season to consume you with business, but take time to say, “Thank YOU, Lord!”

Our challenge has been set and we must proceed by pre-paring our hearts and minds for a season of thanksgiving while testify-ing the truth of Jesus

Cherryville Area Places of Worship

Christ. The truth is not of what God has done for us but the fact that He is God!

Throughout this article, I have said time and time again that we should speak these couple of words loudly and proudly; Thank You Lord! The only question left is, “Will you give thanks to the Lord during the Thanksgiving season? Will you give praise unto God?”

I will leave that in your hands.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families! May God fill your days with His sweet Spirit!

CHS senior setter led the team with 71 serve aces, 501 assists, and 208 defensive digs

According to a recent media release, CHS Lady Ironmen volleyball Coach Leigh Kiser announced that, “…after a successful ending to the high school volleyball season,” her Southern Piedmont 1A/2A All-Conference member is senior setter, Rileigh Kiser.

Said Coach Kiser, “Rileigh has been selected for the All-Conference team after helping her Cherryville teammates to a season record of 13-10.”

She continued, “Rileigh is just the second volleyball player in school history to be named All-Conference four times.”

Coach Kiser said that, “…for the season, Rileigh led the team with 71 serve

defensive digs. She also contributed 94 kills and 13 blocks.”

Coach Kiser said that she was “really proud” of Rilegh’s season, adding “… it will be hard to replace a four-time All-Conference performer.”

Thanks to the efforts by young Kiser and her outstanding teammates, the 2022 CHS Lady Ironmen spikers ended their season with a 13-10 season record

2023 West/Midwest All-Star Basketball Games plans finalized

Bessemer City High School will host the 2023 West/Midwest All-Star Basketball Games, which bring together top senior players from Cherryville, Bessemer City and Highland Tech, along with those from more than a dozen other schools.

The event’s executive committee, chaired by Dr. Bud Black of Cherryville, finalized plans Oct. 18 at a meeting in Asheville.

Both boys’ and girls’ games are scheduled for March 18, along with a banquet at an area church. The banquet is at 2 p.m., followed by the girls’ allstar game at 5 p.m. and the boys’ game at 6:30. Both

All-Star teams will practice at Bessemer City prior to their games.

Now in its ninth year, the event is held the weekend following the North Carolina High School Athletics Association state championships.

The Midwest squads will be selected by coaching staffs from Avery, Bessemer City, Cherryville, Draughn, Highland Tech, Mitchell, Rosman, Mountain Heritage and Thomas Jefferson.

Players for the West division will come from Cherokee, Highlands, Hayesville, Murphy, Hiwassee Dam, Nantahala, Andrews, Blue Ridge, Swain and Robbinsville.

Black reported that 55 players participated in the

Chavis volleyball ladies down WC Friday 3-0

2022 tournament at Highlands High School.

In addition to firming up the site and date, the committee set aside a proposal to give $500 scholarships to a limited number of participants rather than $250 awards to a larger number. Scholarship awards will be determined by the revenue generated by the event.

The All-Star games and banquet have provided scholarships to as many as 11 players each year,” Black said. “Also, the parents and players enjoy the games and banquet. In addition, the youngsters get to play with those they have played against for four years.”

Other officials attending the organizational meeting were Jackson County Su-

perintendent Dana Ayers; athletics directors Scott Harrill of Cherryville, Chris Pittman of Mitchell and Brett Lamb of Highlands, and media contact Mike Powell of Cherryville.
