Chamber announces 2021 Farmer’s Market Opening day is Thursday, June 3 by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Chamber Executive Director and Cherryville Farmer’s Market Manager Mary Beth Tackett said the Cherryville Farmer’s Market (CFM) is set to start up on June 3. To say she is excited about it is an understatement. Said Mrs. Tackett, “We are so excited for this year’s market! Last year’s market exceeded years past in attendance and we hope to keep that going. We are very lucky to have such a great group of local vendors that return year after year to offer locally grown, locally made goods.” Tackett continued, “The

Cherryville Farmers’ Market, which created a thriving and ‘healthy’ local food market for the Cherryville area, was a huge success in its first seven years of 2013-2020, both in enhancing local commerce and benefitting local consumers. “The local economy was made stronger by creating a market for local family farmers to connect with area residents. In turn, our residents have benefited greatly from gaining easy access to healthier food, as well as, from simply having the comfort of knowing where their food is being produced.” To that end, they offered earlier sponsorship opportunities for the 2021 market, See MARKET, Page 2

Message for Class of 2021 by W. JEFFREY BOOKER, Ed.D. Special to the Cherryville Eagle

Congratulations to the Gaston County Schools Class of 2021! We are Dr. W. Jeffrey Booker extremely proud of our graduates, and we are pleased to join your family and friends in celebration of your many achievements. This is the time for everyone in our community to salute the Class of 2021 and praise our graduating seniors for their

hard work, dedication, perseverance, and commitment to success. This year’s seniors have received numerous awards for excellence in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, community service, and other areas. And, they have earned millions of dollars in scholarships to attend the most prestigious colleges and universities in our state and across the country. Without question, their accomplishments are worth celebrating. When our seniors entered the ninth grade four years ago, no one would have ever though that a global pandemic would interrupt their high school career. Our seniors had to made sacrifices. They had to adjust to a different approach to school that involved remote learning and social distancing. They had SEE MESSAGE, Page 2

Cherryville Main Street hosts CPD Mini Park ‘Meet & Greet’ Community gets a chance to talk with and thank those men and women who daily serve and protect them by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

The Cherryville Police Appreciation Day to Honor

CPD, sponsored by the Cherryville Main Street Program, was held on Thursday, May 20, at the Cherryville Mini Park. Police Chief Cam Jenks and other CPD officers and staff were on hand to ‘Meet and Greet’ citizens from 4 to 6 p.m. They had some small prizes and gifts with them as well to hand out to the kids. One of those prizes was a booklet titles, “Connecting

the Pieces to Stop the Violence”, which is a 32-page booklet dealing with such timely issues for youth today such as conflict and its resolution, anger issues, bullying, self-esteem, ‘sexting’, dating violence, stalking, gangs, hate crimes, suicide, and weapons in school. In a previous media release, it was noted the event was held so “Cherryville citizens, young and old,” could

come by and “get to know and thank Cherryville police Chief Cam Jenks and several CPD officers at a Meet and Greet in the Mini Park.” Downtown Director David Day noted also in the release that, “The event (commemorated) Cherryville Police Appreciation Day as part of the nationwide celebrations in May honoring law enforcement officers.” See CPD, Page 2

Council discusses ordinances; proposed city budget at work session by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

Last Tuesday night’s May 25, City Council work session was essentially one where they discussed the City zoning and subdivision ordinances regarding revised and updated language and terminology in the 160D sections. Mr. Matthew Gallman, of the Centralina Regional Council, updated Council on 160D’s language as it relates to six specific areas where the terms were so updated. Those areas are” Conditional Use Permits are now called Special Use Permits (a simple change in terminology, Gallman noted); Parallel Conditional Uses Districts are now Conditional Zoning Districts; Vested Rights Procedures explicitly listed in ordinance (these can take on a number of different approval processes depending on municipal goals and objectives); Public Hearings are now called either “Evidentiary Hearing” (quasi-judicial decisions), or “Legislative

they were in alignment with the 160D changes as well. City Manager Jeff Cash told Council the Council has to adopt these changes by July 1, 2021. The Council also approved a resolution regarding receiving federal funds under the American Rescue Plan, or ARP Act. Revenue received, noted the resolution, will be

kept in a separate fund and will not be “comingled with other (City) revenue.” Downtown director David Day updated Council on the Architectural Review Board Grants. Mr. Day said these updates were to clarify the language in the grants material and to trim down some of the excess or repetitive See COUNCIL, Page 6

Gearing up for June events at Your CBL! by TRACI POLLITT Cherryville Branch Manager

June events at Your Cherryville Branch Library are as follows: Outdoor Storytime at First United Methodist Church – Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.; Teen Anime Club – Thursday, June 10, at 4 p.m.; Hooks, Needles & Thread – Friday, June 11, at 11 a.m.; Unicorn Watch Party – Tuesday, June 15, at 10:30 a.m., OR Thursday, June 17, at 3:30 p.m.; Adult DIY: Teacup Planters – Tuesday, June 22, at 10:30 a.m.; and Teen DIY: Animal Silhouette Painting – Thursday, June 24, at 4 p.m. SUMMER READING IS HERE! Your Cherryville

The Adult slogan banner for the “Tales and Tails” Summer Reading program at the Cherryville Branch Library. Branch Library saw a few patrons come in the first day of the program, which was this past Saturday. We knew we wouldn’t have too many through the door with it being a holiday weekend, but the people we saw were excited

– and so were we! Schedules of events are available at the front desk; events are also listed on our Facebook page and the Gaston County Public Library Calendar of Events. This summer we are requiring registration for ALL

events. This is being done for a few reasons, the most important being that all programming plans are subject to change, possibly due to weather (Outdoor Storytime) or other factors (COVID safety protocols changing).

We want to ensure that we will be able to contact patrons if something should happen and we need to cancel, postpone and/or reschedule an event, and we want to be able to do that as soon as possible. Registration also helps us ensure there are enough supplies for everyone, such as story-time props (bean bags, rhythm sticks, ‘shaker’ eggs) and crafting needs. In the end, we hope it will help us make all our events that much more enjoyable. Registration for all events begins one week before the event. We kept the registration period short for two reasons: to give everyone as equal access as possible, and to help everyone remember

what they’ve registered for. Trust us – we know from personal experience that if you register for a program two (2) months out, you tend to forget that you’ve done so! Registration links can be found by visiting the GCPL Calendar of Events or our Facebook page. If you do NOT have computer access, you are welcome to call us to register; the one-week window still applies. For all library-related questions, you can reach us at (704) 435-6767, or visit the branch at 605 E. Main Street. We can’t wait to see you this summer!

is a wonderful example of “loving your neighbor as yourself.” These community members are hoping to serve as a positive example to help our entire county. If you have not already done so, they

Gaston County was among 19 North Carolina governments to earn recognition in the North Carolina City & County Communicators’ (NC3C) 2021 Excellence in Communications Awards. Gaston County won first place in the Annual Report category – the first NC3C award in the County’s history. The awards were announced April 29, 2021, in conjunction with NC3C’s virtual 2021 annual conference. All 168 award program entries were judged by professional communications peers from the Minnesota Association of Government Communicators. “Congratulations to all the winners. You deserve your award, and you deserve to be recognized for your hard work,” said NC3C President Joshua Harris, City of Lenoir, N.C. “Communications is an important part of local government operations, and one goal of NC3C is to recognize those communicators across the state who create great content and help keep our citizens informed. Keep up the good work. You make me proud to be part of NC3C.”

Gaston County’s Communications Office, in coordination with its Finance and Budget offices, created the content for the Gaston County Annual Report card in a 32-page report highlighting the county’s financials and achievements during Fiscal Year 2020. Haven Creative, a Waxhaw, N.C.-based marketing and design firm, did the graphic design work on the report. Haven has partnered with Gaston County since last summer on several critical projects, including the creation of a new brand and logo for the county, as well as on the Gaston Saves campaign, which has focused on COVID-19 education outreach. The Gaston County Annual Report can be found on the Gaston County website at the following link: https://cms3.revize.com/ revize/gastoncounty/Documents/ManagersOffice/ GastonCountyPAFR_FinalDraft.pdf. One judge from the Minnesota AGC called the Gaston County Annual Report Card “truly exceptional… a model to follow.” Another wrote that the report had a “modern and professional layout. The incredible pho-

tos, easy-to-understanding data visualizations, and iconography throughout make this report card easy to flip through while providing plenty of information for a deeper dive.” Gaston County Communications Director Adam Gaub said the award reflects the collaborative approach fostered by its manager, Dr. Kim Eagle. “Dr. Eagle’s vision encapsulates having a strong brand and partnerships across the public and private sectors that put Gaston County’s best foot forward,” Gaub said. “This award indicates we are on the right track in creating documents and messaging that tell our story creatively and effectively.” The purpose of North Carolina City & County Communicators is to encourage professional development and networking among local governmental communications professionals. The organization was formed in March 2007 and consists of professional government communicators from around the state. For more information about NC3C, visit www. nc3c.com.

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. –Abraham Lincoln

Ironmen, be the best you can be – always! By the time you read this editorial Cherryville High School will have graduated another class of outstanding seniors. They, like those who have gone before them, will go forth into the world seeking to carve out a life for themselves and – hopefully – make the world a better place for all of us. This year, 2021, the year after we all have been hunkered down thanks to a deadly, worldwide, pandemic, promises to be different somewhat than the previous year 2020 when things looked very bleak for all of us. Because of that pandemic, the 2020 CHS graduation also looked very different than what my wife and I; all of us here in Cherryville and in North Carolina; and in the U.S. were used to seeing; in that social distancing and doing things virtually were the “norm” rather than the exception. Now, thanks to some pretty darned amazing, and – I might add – miraculous scientific and medical intervention,

with a heaping dosing of God’s blessing and grace, we have a vaccine that has proven, within reason, to be, literally, just what the doctor ordered when it comes to getting us back onto the path of something resembling normalcy. My wife and I gave been very blessed to have been a part of 15 CHS graduations (since 2007) and they have all been wonderful. Though we didn’t go to, or graduate from, CHS ourselves; nor did we have any children who did, we have always felt as if every one of the young men and women

who did were, by some strange bit of osmosis, ours; and to that end, we took then (and still do take) great pride in watching each and every one of them walk across the stage or field and get their high school diploma. It is a rite of passage and is not only very special but is incredibly important, in so many ways that can’t all be listed here in this opinion piece. My first excursion into journalism came while I was in high school with the occasional article for the school paper, or the submitted photo put in it about something I saw or was able to get a picture of to send them or to the hometown paper. Later, as I moved on to college, I wrote for the college newspaper and the yearbook. I got my first internships while in college and they paved the way for so many other jobs and places to work. I was blessed, that’s for sure. Today, right now, though they have already graduated, it is mine and

He filled the oceans and lakes and rivers with water, and created the first man and woman. He placed Adam and Even in charge of the beautiful world He had created. Some people like to make jokes about God’s creation, but those jokes are not funny to me. So, even though I really do like to be the leader, I do know when to be a follower. And in my opinion, that is what counts!

To most people, “inflation” signifies widespread rising prices. Economists have long argued, as a matter of technical accuracy, that “inflation” denotes an increasing money supply. Frankly, though, most people don’t care what happens to the supply

of money, but they care a lot about the prices they pay, so I’ll focus primarily on the numerous rapidly rising prices Americans are paying today. The following are several examples of the current inflation: Corn, soybeans, and wheat have been trading at multi-year highs, with corn having risen from around $3.80 per bushel in Janu-

ary 2020 to approximately $6.75 now. Chicken wings are at all-time record highs. It is getting more expensive to eat. Copper prices have risen to an all-time high. Steel, too, recently traded at prices 35 percent above the previous all-time set in 2008. Perhaps most famously, the price of lumber has nearly quadrupled since the beginning of

Your house and building financial security As we approach Memorial Day, give thanks for our soldiers who gave, and are giving, sacrificially for our freedom. One of the freedoms we enjoy is the freedom to own a house. The greatest asset of most people is the roof over their heads. Your house may be worth more than all of your cash, savings accounts and in some cases retirement funds combined. If your house is paid for then congratulations to you. You have achieved a beautiful piece of the American dream. When I was 26 years old, I bought a house on a land contract. The house cost $80,000. Interest rates were 17 percent back then and a man sold it to me for no money down and 10 percent interest rate. The rate then was good and it was good for him. He was using the sale to fund his retirement for 20 years at about $800 per month. It was great for

2020 and has nearly doubled just since January. Naturally, with raw materials prices soaring, prices of manufactured goods are jumping, too. That is especially noticeable in the housing market, where the median price of existing homes rose to $329,100 in March – a whopping 17.2 percent increase from a year earlier. The cost of driving is soaring, too. According to

J.D. Power, cited in “The Wall Street Journal”, the average used car price has risen 16.7 percent and new car prices have risen 9.6 percent since January. So, are you depressed yet? Perhaps you can take some comfort in Uncle Sam’s official price indexes where the price increases seem (at least at first glance) less jarring. But remember that the most

commonly cited inflation indicator, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), is computed on the basis of a mythical “urban basket of goods” that often bears little relation to what you and I actually buy. The CPI, excluding food and energy, rose “only” 0.9 percent in March. That doesn’t sound like much, but it was the biggest onemonth increase since 1981 See INFLATION, Page 6

street either. Then one day, when Peter and Andrew were out at the Sea of Galilee minding their own business here comes Jesus offering them the opportunity to fish; for people that is. What is Jesus getting at? I have often wondered why such an offer appealed to Peter and Andrew; it seems to me that this request from Jesus borders on the absurd. I don’t know about you but if it was me, on that boat, I would have rowed further out to sea, not jumped out and followed this Jesus guy. How can simply the word “follow” change the course of these two lives? It is a strange Scripture, and it is a very strange re-

sponse that Peter and Andrew make to this request from Jesus. My wife says that I have selective hearing, meaning that I only hear what I want to. She says that I will hear her every single time she says that supper is ready, but if she asks me to change the baby or take out the trash, I don’t listen. It would have been very easy for Peter and Andrew to not listen to this request from Jesus. It would have been very easy for them to simply ignore the strange Man on the shore. They could have chosen to be selective listeners. And in all reality their lives would have carried on, business as usual, they would have caught fish,

sold fish, and had a generally happy life. However, as we who follow Jesus know, these are not the chief ends of life. We are called to be more than simply happy; we are called to do more than simply exist; we are called be fishers of people. Yes, Peter and Andrew could have been selective listeners, but they would have missed out on life itself by staying in their boat. In this same way we in the church are often challenged by the allure of staying in the boat. We try, if we can, to be selective listeners of Jesus. We love it when Jesus puts the Pharisees in their place, but we don’t like to hear it too much when

Jesus tells us to love our enemies, and bless those who curse us. In order for us to really follow Jesus we must leave the comfort of the boat and swim into the sea of uncertainty. This life of discipleship that we are striving to embody necessitates that we take risks, that we leave our comfort zone and that we journey towards the cross. So, I challenge us as Christians any and everywhere to step out of the boat, to take risks and to listen to Christ’s call to follow. May we be open to the prodding of the Holy Spirit, and may we venture wholly and completely into the unknown, knowing that Christ has already gone before us.

As for the Producer Price Index (PPI), which generally precedes increases in consumer prices, it is increasing at the highest rate since 2010, according to the Department of Labor. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has assured the public that the current inflation is transitory and that they have it under control. I don’t know the future any more than Fed

COUNCIL From Page 1 verbiage. Council voted 3-1 to approve the updates. Next up was Planning and Zoning Director Derrick Mackey who spoke to Council regarding a word change to Section 17-07.5 of the Weeds, Grass, Noxious vines and other Vegetation ordinance. “One word has been changed about the height of the grass when it needs to be cut (on vacant lots being no more than 12 inches),” noted Mr. Mackey. Council approved unanimously the word change. Another item Mr. Mackey discussed had

officials do, but I do not share their confidence. I am skeptical because: first, the Fed since its inception has had a terrible track record accomplishing any of the tasks assigned to it by Congress; second, it’s impossible for the Fed or any other entity to control millions of prices and therefore to control the rate of inflation (to believe otherwise is a central planner’s conceit). Tragically, the Fed has been trying for years to boost inflation to 2 percent annually. How bizarre that our central bank would deliberately strive to reduce the value

of our money. At 2 percent per year, money loses half its purchasing power in 35 years. That would be half of your nest egg, Millennials! Today’s inflation is already problematical. A higher cost of living falls hardest on the poorest Americans. Given the present uncertainty about future prices, numerous businesses are struggling to determine how much to produce, and thus are more likely to over-produce or under-produce. Furthermore, if inflation causes foreigners to lose confidence in the dollar, there could be an exodus from the dollar that could

end its status as the principal global reserve currency, thereby triggering an even steeper decline in the dollar’s purchasing power. The quantity of dollars already has risen 32.9 percent in the last 17 months (mostly due to the federal government’s mind-boggling spending binge). It’s possible that we have passed a tipping point where prolonged inflation higher than the hoped-for and already-objectionable 2 percent is unavoidable. Hang on tight, folks. We could be in for a rough ride in the months ahead.

to do with a text amendment to the zoning ordinance about cluster housing development. This was submitted to the Cherryville P&Z Board by Michael Foess of Wellsprings, and was regarding the text amendment change as pertains to residential districts R-15, R-12, and R-9 districts and their lot requirements and sizes. City Manager Cash spoke to Council on the date of June 14, 2021, for the public hearing for the proposed 2021-2022 City Budget. Council also heard about and unanimously approved a resolution of support to secure federal funds for the Charlotte Area Tran-

sit System’s (CATS) Lynx Silver Line extending into Gaston County. City Manager Cash noted that other municipalities have gotten on board with the idea and adopted their own resolutions. The project would be a boon for those in the surrounding communities who work either in Charlotte or wish to go to the downtown area in that travel and parking problems would be lessened, it was noted. “This won’t cost us anything right now, and CATS wants to have all local municipalities on board with this, if possible,” he said. Mayor H.L. Beam, III talked about the City’s proclamation about com-

memorating Juneteenth Week, setting the dates of June 13, through 19, 2021 as Cherryville’s “Juneteenth Week”. The resolution encourages citizens to “… recognize and commemorate Juneteenth, which honors the history, legacy, and culture of African-Americans throughout the United States of America by participating in celebrations and festivities during the month of June.” Council voted to go into closed session regarding a Cherryville Site Assist program. City Manager Cash said Council took no action in that closed session. The meeting was adjourned afterwards.

The senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Cherryville, Hefner has been the public address voice at Cherryville High School football games for nearly two decades. He has also been an activist in other church-related functions that benefit the Cherryville sports community.

A Cherryville High alumnus (Class of ‘57), Ballard has been a longtime supporter of her alma mater and has attended football games at Rudisill Stadium for some 50 years, according to reports at the committee meeting.
