VET TECH From Page 1 Dr. Houser thanked Dr. Skinner for her vision and oversight of the project that gave the Vet Tech program larger, more modern facilities than those in the off-campus site that had housed the program previously, wrote Ms. Vespa. “Over the course of 25 years as President of Gaston College, Pat inspired vision and dedication to building a flagship institution in Gaston College,” said Dr. Hauser. “Her focus on providing a high-quality environment for student success led to many initiatives and building projects, with her last being this Veterinary Technology facility. Dr. Skinner had a lasting impact on Gaston College and touched the lives of thousands of students, faculty and staff.” Vespa continued, “Dr. Skinner, who now has the title of President Emeritus, thanked Dr. Hauser, the Board of Trustees, and the Gaston College Foundation for the honor of having the Vet Tech building dedicated in her name, adding, ‘You all know it does not happen without the support of a lot of people,’ Dr. Skinner said.’” Dr. Skinner continued, “It wasn’t just me providing leadership. I remember arriving here 27 years ago and finding a community that loved Gaston College. I was so appreciative of this beloved community that really stood up and helped raise money and do the kind of things that were needed for Gaston College to grow and

President Emeritus Dr. Patricia A. Skinner and President Dr. John Hauser following the ceremony to name the Gaston College vet tech building in Dr. Skinner’s honor (photo provided) continue.” Vespa said Dr. Skinner also recognized faculty, staff and administrative leaders, noting she said, “One of the things I’m most proud of is hiring and retaining the very best people.” Vespa’s media release further stated that, “It was through the efforts of Dr. Skinner that Gaston College’s Vet Tech program was launched in 1995. Until that time, only one other community college in North Carolina had such a program, and Dr. Skinner, with the support of the Trustees and the Gaston College community, went to the State Board of Community Colleges in Raleigh to make the case that Gaston College should have a Vet Tech program. “The campaign was successful and the program started in a small building at the Gas-

ton County Animal Shelter, where it remained until the new on-campus building was completed in 2020.” Vespa added, “BestColleges.com has consistently ranked the Gaston College Veterinary Medical Technology program as among the best in the United States. Gaston College is one of 58 community colleges in the North Carolina Community College System and was recognized as the #1 Apprenticeship Partner and #1 Customized Industry Training Program in 2021.

Planned Parenthood v. Casey case of 1992 were overturned. The court ruled 6-3 to uphold a law banning abortions, with a 5-4 majority agreeing to overturn the Roe and Casey abortion precedents. Judge Samuel Alito delivered the opinion, with Justices Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Coney Barrett joined with this opinion. Chief Justice John Roberts filed a concurring opinion. Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan filed dissenting opinions. Both of North Carolina’s top legislature leaders – House Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland; and Senate Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham – vowed to fight to reinstate the abortion laws on the books, some of which were blocked by federal precedent in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Statements by both also indicated they have

no plans for further abortion-related legislation before the end of the current session, which is likely to end in a matter of days. Berger spokesperson Lauren Horsh told CJ that they have to ask Attorney General Josh Stein to seek action overturning prior court rulings that nullified state laws based on Roe and Casey. If he does not take this action, they said they are prepared to look at other options. A separate U.S. Supreme Court opinion, on Berger v. NAACP, decided on June 23 that North Carolina legislators could represent the state to defend state laws. This could become relevant if Stein refuses to work to reinstate the abortion laws in the state statutes. Berger’s and Moore’s statements can be read below: Moore’s full June 24, 2022, statement: “Today’s decision from the United States Su-

preme Court is long overdue and a major win for protecting life!” Moore said in his statement. “The end of Roe v. Wade rightfully returns authority back to the states to determine abortion law. While I remain unequivocally pro-life, the short budget adjustment session does not afford us sufficient time to take up the issue. However, North Carolinians can rest assured that we are taking the necessary steps to ensure that current restrictions on the books will be enforced. North Carolinians can also expect pro-life protections to be a top priority of the legislature when we return to our normal legislative session in January.” Berger’s full June 24, 2022, statement: “The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs returns policy decisions regarding abortion to the states, which is where those decisions should be made. I remain committed to the right to life and protecting the unborn. North Carolina’s law banning abortions after 20 weeks is currently unenforceable. We will take immediate action to ensure North Carolina’s late-term abortion ban is reinstated. Senate Republicans will determine whether other steps are appropriate to strengthen our pro-life laws, but I do not anticipate legislative action prior to adjournment.”

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION So, what’s in a name, really?

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. – George Washington

Our oldest grandson, who is now 14, going on 25, has gone by many nicknames. I know all of us have had nicknames in the past and many of us remember ours; some with fondness, some not so much. Mine were the standard: Four Eyes; Shrimp (a.k.a. Runt, thanks to my many cousins); Short Stuff. Later, I picked up newer ones: Mitch, Mikie, and more than a few that are unprintable here in a family newspaper. Anyway, you get the idea. One of the ones perhaps some of you may remember me calling him in a couple of these rambling editorials is “Tha Killa,” which was as far away from his real persona as the Pope is from being a hard-core hitman or a Protestant politician (apologies to my Catholic friends). Well, it seems his newest nickname is kind of cool, at least from a Nana and Poppie standpoint, and it stems from

his doing something I never would have pegged him for, and that is working with little kids in a Sunday School class, and later (we heard), in an upcoming VBS, a.k.a. Vacation Bible School. Thankfully, he has some height on him now (we were worried he would be short like me and his mom (and dad), but, no… he has shot up to a respectable fivefoot, nine-inch height (so far), and has started losing a great deal of his “baby fat” and tacking on some muscle. He is a good-looking kid, which is fortunate since he still

likes “dorking out” with his Star Wars buddies and playing video games or whatever passes for those these days. So, when he is teaching his little church charges, they have started calling him “Mr. John”, as that is his given first name, though he normally goes by his middle name. When our daughter told us his nickname, she was laughing quite a bit and we could hear him in the background chuckling out loud as well. We asked our daughter why he also found it funny as he said he “…thinks it’s a hoot that the little kids call him ‘Mister’ anything since he is just a teenager.” That said, my wife and I, after we rang off our conversation with them, sat back and laughed a bit more and tried visualizing “Tha Killa” hard at work, teaching his wee Sunday School students about the Bible lessons of the day. Then we tried visualizing him teaching

an even larger class of VBS kids, many of whom would probably not be much younger than he is right now. And that’s when it really hit us… our first-born grandson, er, grandchild, is growing up; getting older, and learning to handle responsibility. He is becoming a young man in the process, and that’s not a bad thing. It makes us feel good that he seems to be genuinely interested in the

things of God and His teachings. There were times we feared he might not show an interest in such as we weren’t sure he or his sister were even taken to church by our daughter and her ex-husband when they were younger. Thankfully, we were very wrong on that point. They did and we are so thankful for it. Our prayers are that such behavior continues. We are hoping to get to see them some this

summer and I have every notion to pick at him about his new nickname. Also, he has a birthday coming up very soon and I intend to address his card as Mr. John! I can already see him shaking his head, smiling and saying, “Popppiieee!” Happy upcoming birthday “Mr. John, Tha Killa”. May you have many, many, many more!

is, as I noted earlier, the fact that Frances passed away recently. We attended her funeral at Landers Chapel Methodist Church. There were many relatives and friends and neighbors at the service, and I was glad to see that number in attendance. The pastor of the church was unable to attend that day, so the service was conducted by someone else. At one point the audience was invited to share some of their memories of Frances, so I stood up to speak. I fondly recalled how my brother and I got drenched playing in the snow, and how she gave us different clothes while she dried our clothes. That’s the kind of person she was as she looked after others.

On the 4th of July we celebrate our Declaration of Independence which was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. The Second Continental Congress declared that the 13 colonies were no longer subject and subordinate to the monarch of England King George the III and were now united, free, and independent states. The Congress voted to approve our independence on July 2 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, Benjamin Franklin is reported to have said, “Aye, I know there shall be no nation on earth that works harder than the great and powerful United States, and so I dare say that the celebration of July 4th should be a day on which none shall work and instead all will refrain from exerting themselves in any

way.” Historians have said that when John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, he did so in a bold hand, in a conspicuous manner, and rose from his seat, pointing to it, and said, “There, John Bull can read my name without spectacles, he may double his reward and I put this at defiance.” “Independence Day: freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower Our freedom was won by the sheer will power of an early generation who determined to do whatever was necessary for our freedom. We had to fight. Our earliest generation determined whatever it took was worth it to separate from the authoritarian rule of England. Freedom is never easy. Most Americans at that time had sacrificed everything to pursue freedom of worship, to develop our ideas, businesses and personal interests. It took years for Americans to begin to experience some prosperity and most never did. Our earliest generation sacrificed, worked

and battled diseases with little to no medical care. They had no financial or social security. There were no government handouts, bail outs or insurance companies covering their losses. Early Americans were on their own and helped each other as best as they could. More than ever before we must make whatever is necessary to run this country from chips to run our cars and technology to growing our food and producing sufficient energy. Depending on foreign nations for anything is a poor plan for maintaining our freedom. We become dependent instead of independent. This is why we must have a mix of energy. Relying only on one source is not a plan for independence. Trade with other countries is good for America because we want other nations to buy our products. Many businesses in America would die if they could not export to other countries. The main idea is that we produce enough to have enough as we need it in America. I love America. We have a great a history. We have some problems, but who doesn’t? Together we can figure it out.

DEAR DIARY Looking through my keepsake box, I found a small, blue diary that I wrote in when I was 12 and 13 years old. Some parts that I read were quite comical, especially seeing my middle school mindset. Other parts were very insightful. I even wrote how God had answered various prayers. Also, I was reminded of stories that I had forgotten about my be- DANYALE PATTERSON loved parents who are both now resting in peace. This little, seemingly insignificant diary has become a personal history book of events, answered prayers, and even evidence of how I have grown mentally, personally, and spiritually. Throughout the years, I have used writing as a way to connect to God. DON’T FORGET Life is a roller coaster of ups and downs, added to the busyness of life that can cause us to sometimes forget to count our blessings and become overwhelmed by worry, doubt, and fear. A way to combat this human tendency is to write in a journal. I love to alternate 3 types of journals: gratitude, prayer, and devotional. In my gratitude journal, I write 5 things I am grateful for. I list them or turn them into a thanksgiving prayer. Praise and thanksgiving are powerful tools that will keep you in peace when you are in a difficult situation or season. Colossians 3:15 (NIV) says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” In my prayer journal, I find scriptures about the particular issue I am dealing with. I write a prayer and date it. Then, when it’s answered I date it. This is a great way to record what I call “Faith Victories.” Periodically, I look back at how God came through in my life and this strengthens my faith - especially when I am battling a trial. Finally, I utilize a journal for devotions. In this journal, I take notes on scriptures or messages. I write questions to God and wait on the Holy Spirit to lead me with answers. It’s a wonderful way to dialogue with the Holy Spirit. I can go back and see how the Lord led me in a certain direction and the results of my obedience. Writing helps give me clarity about what I hear the Holy Spirit leading me to do. Proverbs 2:6 (AMP) says, “For the LORD gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord, I love that you want me to connect and fellowship with you. You say, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Thank you for allowing me to come into your presence. Forgive me for neglecting to put you first in my priorities. Please remind me to spend consistent and regular time with you. Lord as I write in my journal, I ask that you will speak to my heart and give me clarity of your truth. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.” Danyale Patterson is co-founder of Enlighten Ministries, a 501c3 organization with her husband Brandon Patterson.

is hidden that will not become evident, nor is anything secret that will not be known to God.” So often we try hiding in the world by fitting into unnoticeable places not realizing God sees and knows all things. Matthew 5 tells us, we are to be the light of the world, a city brightly shining on a hill that cannot be hid under a bush. God has called us to be hope for the hungry, sick, dying, lonely, hurting and the lost in our communities. By allowing nothing to be hidden, we become the light of Jesus so others can see and seek the Savior for themselves. Today, so many are searching to hide in

we repent of all our sins, and we shall be saved. Jesus wants us to seek Him through prayer, reading the Bible and finding a church family for love, encouragement and to grow spiritually. This is the greatest personal decision any individual could ever make. There is no better place to hide than in the arms of Jesus. So, seek Him while He may be found. Today, will you stop hiding from Jesus and start seeking Him to be Master and King of your life? Hide or seek…you must choose.

and you do not need to seek Jesus now. Jesus said, “I am the only Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” We can try to hide, but when Jesus returns it will be eternally too late. The Lord has given us the choice of choosing Him or choosing the world. God’s word tells us to ask and we shall receive; to seek and we shall find; to knock and the door will be opened. God desires to come live in our hearts and He wants us to believe He is the Son of God Who died for our sins on the cross and rose again on the third day. Then, He asks that

the things of the world rather than seeking God. They look for selfish desires, finding temporary fixes and, sadly, nothing ever fulfills the emptiness in their hearts. The reason for this missing piece – or empty feeling – is because God has created everyone to know Him personally. Scripture states in Isaiah 55:6 that “…we should seek the Lord while He may be found.” There will come a day when no one can hide any longer. Remember the game “Hide and Seek” and hearing the words, “Ready or not; here I come!” One of Satan’s greatest lies is the belief that there is plenty of time

than appointed, a move that could shift the political balance of power on the state’s top educational governing body. According to N.C. Rep. Jon Hardister, a Republican from Greensboro, the proposed amendment would provide “voters and parents with more influence over our education system. This would promote our objective of allowing parents to have more influence over their child’s education.” Currently, 11 members of the state board are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the legislature. Eight of those members represent each of the state’s eight educational regions, while three are at-large appointments. The lieutenant governor and the state treasurer are ex officio members, and the superintendent of public instruction is a non-voting member. Democrats control the state board, with only three members appointed by a Republican governor, Pat McCrory. Republicans had four members on the state board until a recent resignation, after which Gov. Roy Cooper appointed John Blackburn to fill the vacancy. Republicans have added strength from Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and State Treasurer Dale Folwell, but still fall short in votes on more partisan issues. The proposed constitu-

REP. JON HARDISTER, R-GUILFORD (photo provided by ncleg.net livestream) tional amendment, House Bill 1173, would expand the state board membership to 14 seats that correspond to North Carolina’s number of congressional districts. Each member would be elected in their respective congressional district. In addition to this shift to elections rather than appointments, H.B. 1173 contains another provision that could tip the balance of power on the state board even more — making Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt, a Republican, the new chair in addition to an ex officio member, meaning she could vote. Additionally, the amendment would require that vacancies filled by the governor must be okayed

by the legislature. As it stands, the governor’s appointments serve until the term of the person they replaced expires. “A flowchart describing North Carolina’s system of public-school governance resembles a Jackson Pollock painting. And both evoke the same emotional response: bewilderment,” said Dr. Terry Stoops, director of the Center for Effective Education at the John Locke Foundation, in commenting on the proposed amendment. “Gov. James Hunt said it best: ‘The big problem in education and state government today is that the buck doesn’t stop anywhere,’” Stoops added. “Despite seeking to improve public school governance in North

Carolina in the 1980s and 1990s, Democrats could not overcome internal policy divisions and thus failed to reform the system in any meaningful way. If Republicans accomplish what Democrats could not, it would be a monumental achievement.” As with any constitutional amendment, H.B. 1173 faces a high hurdle to pass the legislature. It must garner three-fifths majority support in both the N.C. House and Senate before going to the voters, who may approve it with a simple majority vote. “If we are able to get this through the General Assembly, I am confident that the voters would approve it,” said Hardister.

WACO From Page 1 office and the convenience and gas mart. Barrett has been a busy man, making sure the little town gets its fair share of attention from the state as well as the movers and shakers in Raleigh and elsewhere. Founded in 1880, incorporated in 1906, and sandwiched, as it were, between the cities of Shelby and Cherryville, and lying right on Hwy. 150, with a railroad literally sitting in its lap. Possibly due to the highway’s location, as well as the crossroad and the intersection, the town sees its fair share of enough through-traffic, some of which might (or might not) harbor folks who don’t have the citizens of the town’s best interests at heart on occasion. Granted, Mayor Barrett noted their incidents are much smaller, by comparison, than the aforemen-

Thus, the idea for the Watch was driven by citizens’ ideas. Some of them approached the Board about it before the COVID pandemic.” He continued, “It came

back into play in December 2021 and we approached the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office about and set up a meeting with them in March 2022. We have had two meetings with Sheriff (Alan) Norman and Capt. Christopher Canipe, and they were both very supportive and very interested in helping us.” Barrett said they want to get this community of roughly 380 people in-

Post 100 hosts the June 24-26 2022 North-South Challenge Team 15-9 overall, and 10-2 in division play before N-S Challenge by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Cherryville’s Post 100 American Legion ball club (Area IV/Western Division) wrapped up a threeday weekend of baseball at Fraley Field as they hosted a North-South Challenge, showcasing teams from our own state as well as a couple from South Carolina. Going into the busy weekend, Post 100 was 15-9 overall, and 10-2 in division play. Against Cleveland County (Post 82-155) Prior to the Challenge, the Cherryville club took on Cleveland County Post 82-155 at Fraley Field on Thursday, June 23 and dropped that game to their rivals by a score of 0-4. Coach Bob Reynolds started with right-hander Ashton Pope, who struck out one batter and walked another; then went with Kanon Willis, a CHS product, who also struck out one batter. Hitters for the Cherryville senior ball club were Will Fowler (2-3); Joseph Webb (2-3, a double) and Pope, who was 1-2, with a walk. Also walked was Willis and his fellow CHS Ironmen baseball product, Colin Huss. Against Ft. Mill On Friday, June 24, Post

(Post 1) On Saturday, June 25, Florence, S.C.’s Post 1, who had just finished off an earlier team with 19 runs, came back the same day and took on the host Cherryville club, defeating them 19-0 in four innings. Starting pitcher was Colin Huss who struck out one batter and walked two. He was followed on the mound by Taylor Cooke. Cooke struck out five Post 1 batters and walked two. In spite of getting no runs, Post 100 had one player get a base hit: Joseph Webb, who was 1-2, with a double. Three Post 100

FIREWORKS From Page 1 off from the parking lot of Cherryville’s First United Methodist Church. Also, Chief Wofford noted this year’s show will be under the jurisdiction and watch of two of his fire staff – Assistant Fire Chief Colby Heffner and Capt. Nathan Bowen. But before they could even consider being the overseers of this event, the two men had to go through a bit more voluntary licensure training and classes. Said Chief Wofford, “Colby and Nathan are exemplary employees. It was not a shock when they volunteered to go through the process to gain the necessary license to continue the fireworks for our Fourth Festival. I am proud of our CFD members for always sacrificing their time with family to serve our community during the Fourth’s fireworks display. There are many facets to pull this event off and they are always present and willing. Also, Colby and Nathan have done an outstanding job organizing and planning this year’s event.” He continued, “This year we had a generous donor purchase our fireworks, so it should be a great show. Also, I would like to thank First United Methodist Church for allowing us to utilize their parking lot for our fireworks display. Their pastor, staff, and congregation have been extremely supportive. It means the world to have a great working relationship with them.”

Of his licensure experience, AFC Heffner noted (via email), “We had to take a 1.4 (consumer grade) in-person pyrotechnics class; document our experience in assisting in previous years through sworn affidavits; and then had to travel to Raleigh to take a state exam which was administered by the NC Department of Insurance.” This was echoed by Capt. Bowman, who also said (via email), “We both got the 1.3g outdoor pyrotechnics display which allows us to shoot only for the city of Cherryville up to 3-inch fireworks. We had an instructor come from Charlotte that gave us a class and shot a few practice fireworks at the water plant, then we went to Raleigh to take the state test, which we both passed.” Their municipal certification has to be renewed every three years through continuing education, said Heffner and Bowman. As for experience, both CFD men have been around the firework display since beginning their time at CFD in 2009. ACF Heffner said normally the CFD has 15-20 people participate in the pyrotechnics. “In the hot zone (where the fireworks are fired) we have a lead operator, two to three shooters, spotters, and firefighters on water cans. One must be 18 years of age to assist in the hot-zone and take a training course prior to participating,” said AFC Heffner. “We held this year’s training course on June 6, at the fire station. The spotters

players were walked: Will Fowler, Kanon Willis, and Chase Miller. On Sunday, June 26, Post 100 was scheduled to play Greer, S.C. Asheville’s game at Cherryville, scheduled for Monday, June 27 was forfeited, with the wins going to Post 100. Asheville dropped out of Legion play on June 23. Post 100 was scheduled to play at Henderson on Tuesday, June 28, with that game starting at 6 p.m. The Wednesday, June 29 game scheduled to be played at Fuquay-Varina was canceled as was the Thursday, June 30 scheduled game at Fuquay-Varina. On Friday, July 1 there will be a pairings meeting held in Cherryville, and on

We also have firefighters on hand lines to put out any fires that may occur. I will be operating as safety/ lead operator during this year’s event.” Capt. Bowman agreed, “Yes, that’s right. We will have between 15 to 20 firefighters, who are needed to properly perform a safe shoot. Colby and myself are now the supervisors of the shoot. We will be alternating supervision after this year.” A big concern is the City Cemetery, said Chief Wofford; a concern also of Heffner’s and Bowman’s, who noted it will be closed off prior to, during, and until shortly after, the fireworks. Said ACF Heffner, “We will have the gates closed to the cemetery to keep vehicles out, and we will also have some of our members patrolling the cemetery to make
