Chamber, City “exceptionally excited” about this year’s ID 4 Celebration Fireworks moved to Rudisill Stadium; will be shot off from First United Methodist Church parking lot by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

As the Cherryville Chamber’s Mary Beth Tackett is always fond of saying every year about this time, “Summer is upon us!”, which means for her and her stalwart crew of volunteers and helpers it is time, as she says, to get hard at it lining up vendors, volunteers and such to present another of their stellar celebrations and festivals. “Once again, we’re hard at work putting together an outstanding Independence Day Celebration,” she said in a recent media release. The upcoming Independence Day (July 4 celebra-

tion) will take place this year on Friday July 1, 2022, with everyone converging on to Rudisill Stadium to view the wonderful fireworks display put on this year by Fire Chief Jason Wofford and his crew of hearty pyrotechnical wizards. Said Mrs. Tackett, “We’re exceptionally excited about this year’s Independence Day Celebration since last year’s event drew record crowds! This has become one of the best attended events in the area, and we’re excited to oblige the many that have asked us to ‘make it bigger’.” Tackett continued, “As always, we’ll have quite an assortment of music, dancing for all ages, inflatables, Face Painting, and all the fun food you can eat!” However, she noted that due to downtown revitalization construction, this year’s festival is moved to Rudisill Stadium and the fireworks See CELEBRATION, PAGE 9

It is hoped the 2022 Independence Day Celebration will see large crowds like its many predecessors. This year marks the much-loved festival’s second appearance since bouncing back from the COVID-19 shutdown two years ago. (File photo by MEP/Eagle/CF Media)

ABC Board gives $3,000 to Cherryville Shrine Club Funds will help organization promote the impact of underage drinking in the community by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

ABC store General Manager Allen Fraley and members of the Cherryville ABC Board gave a check for $3,000 to the Cherryville Shrine Club on Wednesday, June 8. The NC Association of ABC Boards has a program, “Talk It Out”, part of its Alcohol Education Fund pro-

gram, which annually works with various organizations in the state to utilize funds from store profits to assist with community betterment efforts at the local level. According to the NC ABC website, the “Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking” underscores the “Talk It Out NC multi-media campaign” which, as per the site’s info, “…was launched in 2014 by the NC ABC Commission to combat underage drinking by undertaking relevant research, spreading education about alcohol’s health risks, and raising awareness about the resources available to families, both in person and online.” Mr. Fraley, in presenting the $3,000 to the Cherryville Shrine Club, noted the ABC boards are required to make

a distribution of profits every year to organizations that make a difference in their community. This year, he said, “The Board voted to give it to the Cherryville Shrine Club.” Shrine Club Treasurer Russell Wingfield, along with Club Vice President Bill Moss, accepted the check, thanking Fraley and the ABC Board members present at the presentation. Representing the ABC Board were Chairman James Russell Beam, Jr., Gail Jenkins, and Tim Moss. Mr. Wingfield said, “We, as the Cherryville Shrine Club, appreciate the support of the community and the ABC Board, as they have given it to us throughout the years.” See ABC, Page 6

As of June 7, information received from Cherryville History Museum board member Sid Stroupe is positive and full of hope for a true Cherryville treasure: its venerable old history museum, formerly the old city hall and jail. Said Stroupe in a series of emails to the Eagle, the Cherryville Historical Museum Building – built circa 1911 – “…continues to be rehabbed by Rehab Builders, Inc. of Winston-Salem.” Stroupe noted the brick facade on the west, north and east sides has been examined and re-pointed and the damaged or crumbling bricks replaced as needed.

N.C. Parent’s Bill of Rights heads to Senate for a vote by THERESA OPEKA Carolina Journal

A “Parents Bill of Rights” has cleared the way for a vote in the N.C. Senate after it was discussed Tuesday afternoon in the Senate Rules Committee. Senate Leader Phil

Berger, R-Rockingham, said the bill would reaffirm the rights that parents have in reference to the education and health of their children. He also said it would not put an extra burden on teachers because it should be affirming what teachers should already be doing by keeping

parents informed on what is going on in the classroom. Senate leaders in the N.C. General Assembly outlined the measure in a press conference last week, saying that it established a parent’s right to request information about what their See BILL Page 2

BILL From Page 1 child is learning in school, including lessons, textbooks, tutoring services, and other details about how their child and their school are operating. Schools would be required to develop a system for parents to access that information. However, the measure does not codify parent’s right to choose their child’s learning environment. The measures were added to the House’s Academic Transparency bill from last session, and would require that parents are informed of any healthcare services their child is receiving, including telling a parent about any changes in their child’s physical or mental health, and whether their child requests a change in their name or pronouns. The bill also directs that issues like gender identity and sexual orientation may not be a part of the official curriculum until after third grade. There would be no ban on incidental discussion of the topic in lower grades. The North Carolina Senate Education Committee passed a measure May 25 that would enshrine a Parents’ Bill of Rights into state law. The measure, a proposed committee substitute for House Bill 755, would affirm a set of parental rights, including the right to direct the education of their child and access to healthcare records. The measure also directs the State Board of Education to create a parents’ guide to student achievement with a set of minimum requirements, plus laying an avenue for parents to learn about text-

books and supplementary materials in the classroom and object to those if they so desire. Several people spoke out against the bill during the committee meeting, including Sarah Mikhail, executive director of Time Out Youth, a Charlotte LGBTQ support organization. She said the bill will add a strain to the resources that are available. She cited a study that said most LGBTQ youths are bullied in school and are afraid to tell their teachers because they don’t think anything will be done. “This bill all but guarantees that those young people will have to keep their stories a secret and increase their risk of suicide and this bill certainly creates more problems for teachers, for educators, for parents, than causes any solution. I urge you not to pass this bill to protect all children in North Carolina, not just those who are LGBTQ,” she said. Tyler Beall, a resident of Guilford County, said the bill is a “Don’t Say Gay” bill that targets LGBTQ youth because it mentions that parents be notified if their child changes the pronoun in which they use to describe themselves. “You will be instituting a culture of fear,” he said. “Students will be too afraid to ask school personnel for help.” He went on to say that lawmakers failed to defend queer students by allowing Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s comments in which Beall said he called LGBTQ people, including himself, “filth.” “Filth. Is that me here, standing right now? Am I filth to you? Is that really the culture you want our students and children growing up in?” He asked the bill “not be rammed through”

along party lines. Eloise Robinson, a former kindergarten, second, and third-grade teacher, spoke in support of the bill, telling lawmakers that she is really worried about what is going on in the schools in North Carolina. She said children are not learning, and the curriculum is full of things that are political and sexual. She said children can’t read or do math and when the curriculum is watered down by political ideology and trying to indoctrinate children, teachers can’t do their jobs. Robinson told lawmakers that when she taught kindergarten, she never had a child that told her they were gay or wanted to change their sex. “The reason is these are young, innocent children,” she said. “They believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny. They are not interested in sex. The teachers don’t need to be teaching that because it is age inappropriate. I want to thank you for giving parents back the rights that they used to have.” “As this bill recognizes, parents have a fundamental right to the care, upbringing, and education of their children,’ said John Rustin, president, and executive director of the NC Family Policy Council. “Unfortunately, we are seeing too many instances these days where the interest of parents and families are being overlooked, ignored, and condemned. This bill will help to ensure that the rights and interests of parents are not only acknowledged but especially followed in the areas of education and healthcare.” Sen. Ralph Hise, R-Mitchell, questioned a system where a child could

According to a media release from the Gaston County Police Department dated June 9, 2022, on Saturday Feb. 5 of this year GCPD officers were dispatched to the 100 block of Reynolds Dr., in Gastonia, in reference to a cardiac arrest. The victim, Jennifer Messer, was found unresponsive and pronounced dead on the scene. During the investigation, Gaston County Police discovered evidence Victoria Elizabeth Prince sold heroin to Ms. Messer before her death. Autopsy and toxicology reports from the North Carolina Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Ms. Messer died from an overdose of illegal drugs. Throughout the investigation, the Gaston County Police consulted with Gaston County District Attorney Travis Page. At the conclu-

be diagnosed or receive mental or physical health treatment without the notification to a parent while also needing two separate signed forms from a child’s doctor and from the child’s parents so the child could be allowed to take an overthe-counter medication at school, such as the case with his own son. He said it isn’t the responsibility of the school to make decisions in parenting. “Anytime that you are going to have the public school system supersede

parents and decide what is best for a child based on their limited interaction, especially in this, put them in the medical treatment or mental health treatment, and cut out the parents without going through the legal process to show there is abuse or neglect in the family just because the school thinks it is right is abhorrent to me,” Hise told Carolina Journal after the meeting. “It would be a reason that many parents would choose not to be part of

the public school system because it isn’t their role. Anytime a child is in a difficult and stressful situation, the solution has to involve their parents, their support networks, and their school coming together with one mission.” He said when children are going through difficult situations like this, it is the responsibility of the school to bring in the parents. The bill is scheduled for an upcoming vote by the full Senate soon.

“Fin-tastic Animals” w/ the Schiele Museum – Tuesday, June 28 at 1:30 p.m. Our first performer of the summer was fabulous! Steve Langley brought Soap Bubble Circus to the Cherryville Branch Library on Monday, June 6. Our small program space was packed wall-to-wall with bubble enthusiasts. After a quick introduction, Mr. Langley spent the next 30 minutes explaining the scientific properties of bubbles (they prefer nice, humid air), how bubbles like to share walls (they prefer less surface area so they don't pop), and how you can blow smoke into a bubble. Patrons of all ages were even mesmerized by a

bubble snowman who traveled down a track! A great start to our Summer Reading events, and of course, there’s more to come! We’re looking forward to a visit from our friends at the Gaston County Museum of Art & History on Monday, June 20 at 10:30 a.m. We’ll be exploring history and creating art at the same time. And not just any art! This will be part of a much larger work, a mural, that will be on display at our Main branch in Gastonia during August and September. The following week we’ll see our friends from the Schiele Museum on Tuesday, June 28 at 1:30 p.m. for “Fin-tastic Ani-

mals”. Patrons love to see the different animals from the Schiele, and we love having them...even the time Ms. Traci thought the toad tinkled on the carpet (news flash - he did not tinkle, but shot out some water, a self-defense mechanism). For information on events, the Summer Reading initiative, and all other library-related questions, 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 – Happy reading!

Bills would waive property taxes for permanently disabled veterans by THERESA OPEKA Carolina Journal

Cherryville WHERE LIFE

BLOSSOMS

Two similar bills that would give a full property tax waiver for permanently disabled veterans were filed in the North Carolina House and Senate this past week. S.B. 821, sponsored by Sen. Sarah Crawford, D-Wake, and H.B. 1076, sponsored by Rep. Terence Everitt, D-Wake, were filed on May 26. Both are known as the Disabled Veterans Property Tax Waiver. Bill sponsors say the final legislation would replace the current disabled veteran homestead exemption that exempts the first $45,000 of assessed real property value, and would instead waive their entire property tax bill. Requirements would remain the same, including that the property owner must be a veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces with an honorable discharge, must have a permanent and total service-connected disability of 100 percent or Rated Permanently Individually Unemployable by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, or must be in receipt of Dependents Indemnity Compensation, also known as the Survivors Pension as a surviving spouse. In 2017, a similar bill was filed by former Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake. “We’re looking for opportunities to honor the service, honor the sacrifices that have

(Photo by Maya Reagan, Carolina Journal) been made by those who put themselves in harm’s way for our country and those who put themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis to serve our community,” Dollar said at the time. Dollar’s measure passed the House but was referred to the Senate Rules Committee and was not passed. If the measure were to pass this time, North Carolina would join the list of 17 other states, including nearby South Carolina and Virginia, with full property-tax exemptions for permanently disabled veterans. The North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has a full listing of services for veterans on its website.

This Father’s Day – for your wife and kids – be a man among men Sometimes we fathers take for granted that all will be well when our kids are born. For us guys – stoics all; tough guys ‘til the end – we try to be such so we don’t worry our long-suffering wives/spouses/significant others, or needlessly worry our kids. It was that way when I first became a father. I tried to be the strong one so my kids’ mother, who was in far more REAL pain than I could even imagine (obviously), wouldn’t see the REAL fear in my eyes that our firstborn (our son) might be born with the birth defect which afflicted me. I didn’t know about genetics then; wouldn’t have known a DNA strand had it come up and smacked me in the chops. But I did know all the old wives’ tales about birth defects and such and had already thought the following, “Oh, my God! What if my kid, or kids, is/are born with this? What if...!” I know now – all need-

less worrying, right? Still… That said, our two children, a son and a daughter, were both fine; born with all 10 fingers and toes, and were beautiful and, thankfully, had no problems of any sort. Today, our son and his wife are the proud parents of four beautiful children, and our daughter has blessed my darling wife of 29 years and me with two beautiful, perfect children as well. We’re not any different from any other grandparents. We live; we love; we spoil!

As you read this, you no doubt have others who are/were like fathers (and mothers) to you. I have been blessed to call many folks such. I have, in past columns written about them. While all my surrogate moms were fantastic, I want now to remember and thank all the men in my life who stepped up, helping me make it through life without a father since the age of 15. They were “legion”. To this day, I owe them for helping “raise me right”. They were men among men. That statement means many things to many different people. For some it may not reflect pleasant memories, especially if their dads weren’t there for them; abused them, their moms, or their siblings. For others, the notion of a father may mean nothing at all. Honestly, I don’t know which is sadder: to have known a father and

There were some instances years ago when there were people who did not believe in the United States and did not respect or honor our soldiers which upset me very much. I do not understand how people can treat these brave people like this. It is because of them that we have our freedom, and I am thankful to God for each one of them.

Congress going after alleged price gougers – again by DR. MARK W. HENDRICKSON Guest columnist

As Yogi Berra, baseball’s preeminent wit and philosopher, would say, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” Fifteen years ago, I wrote in this space about an attempt by Congress to impose additional taxes on oil companies at a time of high gasoline prices. Recently, the U.S. House of Represen-

tatives did it again. It passed “The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act” by a vote of 217-207. Four Democrats and every Republican voted against the bill. The bill would empower the federal government – specifically, the Federal Trade Commission – to fine oil companies if they increase prices in an “excessive” or “exploitative” way (without, in typical congressional vagueness,

bothering to define what constitutes “excessive” or “exploitative”). It is sad that members of Congress who voted for this bill are raging against oil companies when what is really causing the problem is the inexorable economic law of supply and demand. Gasoline prices are uncomfortably high now, not because oil companies are headed by unusually greedy individuals, but because

watched him walk away from his duties, or to have never known the man who brought you into this world at all. Your mother certainly didn’t do this all by herself, in spite of what the circumstances appear later on over the years. Fathers need to count for something, as well as stand up and be counted! Today’s men need to again be those “men among men” for their children, and their grandchildren. They need to, as the

much-used and seemingly well-worn saying goes, “man up” and take responsibility for rearing their children. For me, as a father, this means every man who is a father; was a father; or desires to one day be a father: he should always celebrate Father’s Day every day, every month, every year, by being just that – a father; a dad, or in some cases, a stepdad. I pray that for all you men who might read this

now, just before Father’s Day – you will get out there; stand in the gap for your kids or those God brings your way to mentor or be a dad to. Be a man among men! Be the best father/dad/ granddad/uncle/stepdad you can be. Believe me, you won’t regret it. Happy Father’s Day gentlemen! Happy Father’s Day!

Protecting our children from the shooters Most federal career politicians end up very wealthy. They Glenn Mollette make Guest Editorial good salaries. They have great health insurance and very nice retirement packages. They typically develop political action committees that cover expenses the government doesn’t pay. When they retire, they can donate campaign funds they have accumulated throughout the years to their own non- profits and administer the funds. Most Americans know how lucrative a lifetime of “public service” can become and few really care. Most of us have more to worry about than the jet-setting lifestyles of our rich and famous U.S. Senators and Representatives. What torches many of us is their inability and often flat-out refusal to do anything. Too many of them are spineless wimps who are terrified of casting a vote that might hinder their reelection. You’ve probably noticed that most, and often

all, of the Republicans vote the “party line” and all the Democrats do the same. How does this help us? I’m tired of the “red versus the blue” debates and/or arguments and vice-versa. Doesn’t anybody have an opinion that differs from their “grand ole party”? It’s obvious that Americans are torn into shreds over the gun issue. There is no perfect answer. However, doing nothing isn’t working to save the next group of children begging for help in 911 calls. The least our leaders can do is raise the age to 21 to own any kind of labeled assault weapon. Personally, I would push for 25 but honestly there is no “golden number”. Old people can go crazy with assault-style weapons as easy as eighteen-year-olds. We’ve seen more school shootings from those under 21 which makes it a reasonable place to start. Establishing a six-month waiting period to buy an assault-style weapon will not hurt anyone. Background checks are vital but again will not be a cure-all because often the shooters have unblemished backgrounds.

All schools must pay for a couple of armed guards to patrol and protect their students. Even then a surprise attack by two or three people with assault-style weapons and body armor could easily overpower guards carrying semi-automatic weapons. Yet, the presence of armed security is better than leaving our children defenseless. One local county I know fairly well has several schools spread out over the county. They have one sheriff and he has two underpaid deputies. By the time he and the deputies could ever possibly even show up, dozens if not a multitude of children would be dead. This sheriff’s department is very underfunded and would have to wait for state police to arrive. The local state police post is one hour away. It is unimaginable how many children could be killed. Such school systems have no choice but to come up with armed security guards to protect the children. Who ever dreamed you would read something like this in your local paper? I never dreamed of a country where it would need to be written.

supply is not keeping up with demand. Consider, if you will, another big market in the U.S. economy – the housing market. The media are full of reports of soaring prices for houses in various parts

of the country, often explaining that the price explosion is because supply is not keeping up with demand. What would you think of a federal law imposing a tax on homeowners who take advantage of cur-

rent market conditions to sell their house for what would have been considered a ridiculously high price just a year ago? You would rebel in righteous indignation, I hope. After all, it is your See CONGRESS, Page 5

CONGRESS From Page 4 house, your property, and you should be free to sell it at whatever price you can get in the marketplace. Are homeowners who are receiving top dollar for their houses behaving “exploitatively?” Of course not. That is just the way the real estate market is right now. How is that different from what is happening in the oil market? It isn’t different at all; it’s simply the law of supply and demand at work. The only difference is that some members of Congress believe they can get away with taxing oil companies, whom they routinely demonize, while they know that if they tried to tax homeowners on windfall profits derived from the sale of their homes, they would be voted out of office. One tactic that the anti-price gouging crowd in Congress is employing against oil companies is to accuse them of deliberately keeping production low and supplies tight. Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), one of the co-sponsors of the fuel price gouging bill, asserted, “Big Oil is threatening our entire economy by keeping supply low and jacking up prices at the pump.” Similarly, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said, “The problem is Big Oil is keeping supply artificially low so prices and profits stay high.” In the first place, nobody has the right to dictate to a business how much they should produce (well, not in a free-market system based on property rights; under socialism, government does in fact issue such commands).

But what makes blaming oil companies for crimped supplies so offensive here is that the Biden administration is in the forefront of efforts to curtail the production of oil. I wrote twice last year (here and here) about specific anti-oil production policies that the Biden administration has adopted, and those policies haven’t changed a bit. In fact, just a few days before Reps. Porter and Pallone tried to blame oil companies for tight oil supplies, the administration canceled oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico and Cook Inlet. Existing leases are being held in regulatory purgatory by bureaucrats refusing to approve a green light for actual production. A few days ago, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) commented that 16 months after the Biden administration announced a pause on granting new oil exploration leases, “we still have no new leases,” and, “it has become crystal clear that the ‘pause’ is in fact a ban.” With President Biden accompanying his aggressive anti-fossil fuel policies with equally aggressive rhetoric about sharply reducing, if not ending, Americans’ consumption of fossil fuels within the next decade or so, one can understand why oil companies might be hesitant to spend billions to ramp up production. Why should they risk huge losses if that production is going to be shut down not too long from now? Without commenting on if or how fast the U.S. economy should shift from fossil fuels to various “green” modes of energy, the present question is whether the current government policy of impeding the production of oil is hurting us more than it is helping. What do you think?

Sometimes we get our needs and our ‘greeds’ confused. He never said he would give us everything that we wanted, just everything that we truly need. It seems as though sometimes we need a lot less than we think. Knowing that, we need to make sure our primary concern is to glorify Him and trust Him. Luke 12:27-28 say this: “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?”

Post 100 loses on Sunday, June 12, in June Classic to Rowan County Cherryville team defeats Wayne County but loses to Randolph County earlier in Classic by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Cherryville’s Post 100 Legion seniors baseball team is currently, after their June Classic, 5-0 in Area 4 Division play; 8-6 overall (as of Sunday, June 12). On Thursday, June 9, the Post 100 seniors played Cleveland County and eked a 1-0 win. They then started playing the 2022 June Classic games which would see teams playing at Fraley Field in Cherryville and at Keeter Stadium in Shelby. In Friday, June 10’s Classic action at Fraley Field, the Post 100 senior team downed Rowan County by a score of 12-6. On Saturday, June 11, Classic action continued with the Post 100 men taking on Wayne County, who had earlier at Fraley Field, defeated Randolph County by a score of 4-3. Cherryville handed Wayne County a 5-1 defeat, then later in the night’s diamond action lost 9-8 to Randolph County. In action against Post 11 (Wayne County), pitcher Landon Hahn got the win

as Post 100 got five runs off of 11 hits. Hahn was stellar on the mound as he gunned down two base runners as they played off the bags at first and second. Game Two had Post 100 pitted against Post 45 of Randolph County. The Randolph County men jumped out to an early lead and it took a bit for our Post 100 men to catch up but it looked like it was going to be a game going into the seventh inning as Post 100 closed the gap, getting 8 runs and looking as if they might tie the game, forcing extra innings. Such was not to be as Post 45 won the game by a score of 9-8. Coach Bob Reynolds used four (4) pitchers in this one starting with Noah Gantt, who struck out one and walked four. Next on the mound was CHS product Brayden Reynolds, who struck out two and walked four. Following young Reynolds on the mound was Will Blackburn, who walked three and walked one. Blackburn was in turn followed by another CHS product, Chase Miller, who was the last Post 100 pitcher on the mound. The Post 100 men got their eight runs off of 10 hits as they battled back to inch closer to tying the game. Hitting well or getting on base for the Post 100 team were Landon Hahn (24); Zane Brockman (2-4, a

double, 2 RBIs); Cole Irby (2-4, a double, a home run, a walk, and 2 RBIs); Ashton Pope (1-3, a walk, and 2 RBIs); Reid Stroupe (got on due to an error); Will Fowler (2-4, a double and a walk); Kanon Willis (1-4 and an RBI); and Taylor Cook (on base due to being hit by a pitch). According to Richard Walker’s SportsHub. com web site, on Sunday, June 12, at the June Classic games played at Keeter Stadium’s Veteran’s Field, in Shelby, Group A, which was Number 1, Rowan County taking on Group B, represented by Number 2, Cherryville, Post 100, Rowan County was victorious, winning 5-1 over the Cherryville Legion senior team. The Post 100 men will be back in Fraley Field action on Monday, June 13 as Henderson visits the Post 100 men. This is followed up on Tuesday, June 14 (weather permitting), by Hickory visiting the Post 100 American Legion senior team. The last home game of that week will pit Post 100 against visiting York, S.C, in an Area IV matchup on Wednesday, June 15. (Additional stats and info thanks to Richard Walker and CarolinasSportsHub. com; Susan L. Powell; and Danny Eaker)

A bit of cooperation between Post 100 first baseman Kanon Willis and shortstop Landon Hahn as they look to get the Randolph County runner out at second in last week’s Classic action at Fraley Field.

And Post100 catcher Will Fowler has the ball! Great Post 100 catchers like Will Fowler and Reid Stroupe have kept things solid behind the plate at the many Post 100 American Legion baseball games played this 2022 season.

CELEBRATION From Page 1 will be shot off from Cherryville’s First United Methodist Church parking lot. That said, she noted special events such as the Independence Day Celebration are indeed expensive promotions with the City of Cherryville and the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce underwriting most of the expenses associated with these events. “But,” continued Mary

Beth, “additional funds are needed. Thus, sponsorships are made available each year to help cover these overruns. If you’d like to get your company’s name before an estimated crowd of 10,000 (or more), we suggest you contact us right away to take advantage of the sponsorship opportunities still available. That deadline is June 15, she added and noted the remaining two sponsorships are as follows: Banner Sponsorship ($750), and the ever-popular Gen-

eral Sponsorships at $150 apiece. “The Independence Day Celebration approaches, so let us know right away if you’re interested in a sponsorship. Just call us at (704) 435-3451, or stop by the Chamber office at 220 East Main Street. Come and help us promote your business as we promote Cherryville, and remember… we’ll see you at the Celebration!” she said.

Huge flowers of white fireworks exploding and filling the night sky during a past Cherryville Independence Day Celebration. Sights like this is get kids young and old alike to go, “Oooh!” and “Aaahhh!” (File photos by MEP/Eagle/CF Media)

The construction team reconstructs part of the chimney (at roof level) and then adds wire mesh and covers it completely with a thick slab of concrete-like mixture, as seen in this “after” photo. (photos provided)

MUSEUM From Page 1 Mr. Stroupe noted that what the company doing is “rehabilitating”, the building and not “restoring” it. “Restoring implies that we’re trying to take it back to original state,” said Sid, adding, “What we’re doing is repairing it with original parts when available but mostly to ‘freeze it in time’ as of 2022, in order to stop rain leaks, penetration, and to prevent any further erosion, damage to the structure.” He continued, “Old, open chimneys (four of them, to be exact) along the roofline have been sealed with a ‘concrete cap’ to prevent most, if not all future rain penetration of the interior walls. New metal coping on the east, north and west sides has also been installed over the old terracotta surface.” As for the large, original windows, Mr. Stroupe noted the original wooden, pulley-type ones on the first floor have been removed and in some cases, rebuilt, to provide what he termed “… many more years of use.” Stroupe noted a second team worked to remove the first floor windows, rehab them, and reinstall them. “The ‘terrarium’ that was growing out of a couple of the rotten window sills are GONE!” he said. Arturo, a specialist from Rehab Builders Inc., told Stroupe how several brick chimneys on the museum roof were currently in a bad state of coming apart and

Washing, repairing, and (in some cases) replacing brick on the rear elevation of the Cherryville History Museum building. (This is the scaffolding standing in the rear parking lot.)

The work they did in creating the concrete caps on the chimney tops is shaped, noted Stroupe, so that in the future, rain water will not sit on top of the stack but will run down onto the metal roof. Stroupe said the company was doing “…awesome rehab work!” and noted the total project is nearing com-

pletion, perhaps as early as the end of June. Stroupe said the project is “…an intensive process” and in some cases, they are literally rebuilding windows and chimneys and such by hand. The team has not yet addressed, added Stroupe, the mold-ridden, cracking, falling plaster in several places inside the museum, but will get to that soon. “The Museum Board and all of its volunteers want to say a big ‘Thank you’ to the City of Cherryville and to Rehab Builders Inc!” said Stroupe.

Masons working on adding grout and such to strengthen the ornate limestone decorative caps on the top of the museum’s facade.

Adaptive Clothing Takes the Stress Out of Dressing Dear Savvy Senior, What kinds of clothing options are available to mobility challenged seniors who have a difficult time dressing? Looking for Mom Dear Looking, The chore of dressing and undressing in traditional clothing can be difficult, time-consuming and even painful for millions of people with certain health and mobility problems. Fortunately, there’s a wide variety special clothing, known as “adaptive clothing,” that can help with most dressing challenges. Here’s what you should know. What is Adaptive Clothing? Adaptive clothing is specially designed garments for people with mobility issues, disabilities and cognitive challenges who have a difficult time getting dressed. This type of clothing incorporates discreet design features to make dressing and undressing easier, while still having the outward appearance of typical clothing. Depending on your mom’s needs, here are some of the many different types of adaptive clothing options that could help.

For self-dressing seniors who suffer from Parkinson’s or other disabilities that affect dexterity, there are pants, shirts, dresses and outerwear made with Velcro or magnetic closures instead of buttons and zippers, which are much easier to fasten and unfasten. But be aware that magnetic closures are not suitable for those who have pacemakers. For those who are disabled or who have limited range of motion and need assistance dressing, there are adaptive pants with zippers or snaps on both sides of the pants that are easier to pull on. And a wide range of rear closure shirts, tops and dresses with Velcro or snap fasteners in the back for those who can’t raise their arms over their head. For wheelchair users there are higher back and elastic waistband pants that don’t slip down, as well as pants with fabric overlaps at the seat to allow for easier toileting access. For people with tactile sensitivity, there are garments you can purchase that have soft and stretchy fabrics without tags and are sewn with ﬂat seams to help preventing chaﬁng.

And for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease there are one-piece jumpsuits that have a back-zipper access to prevent the wearer from disrobing inappropriately. Where to Shop? Because each person’s dressing needs and style is so specific, finding appropriate adaptive clothing can be difficult. Recently, mainstream clothing stores like JCPenney (jcpenney.com), Target (target.com) and Tommy Hilfiger (usa. tommy.com) have started offering a line of adaptive clothing for adults that combines fashion and functionality, but their instore options are limited. To get a bigger selection, visit the store’s website and type in “adaptive clothing” in their search engine. You can also find a large selection at online stores that specialize in adaptive clothing like Buck & Buck (buckandbuck.com) and Silverts (silverts.com). Both of these companies have been selling adaptive clothing for decades and offer a wide variety of garments to accommodate almost any need, condition or style, for independent self-dressers and for those who need help.

Some other adaptive clothing sites you should visit include Joe & Bella (joeandbella.com), Ovidis (ovidis.com), and IZ Adaptive (izadaptive.com), which sells clothing primarily designed for wheelchair users. And, if your mom is in need of adaptive footwear, Velcro fastening shoes (instead of shoelaces) have long been a popular option and can be found in most local shoe stores. Some other new lines of adaptive shoes that may interest her include Kiziks (kizik.com) and Zeba (zebashoes.com), which make fashionable sneakers and comfortable walking shoes that just slip on, hands-free, along with Billy Footwear (billyfootwear.com) and Friendly Shoes (friendlyshoes.com), which makes uniquely designed zip-on shoes.
