After 888 days, Monday, Aug. 15 officially marked the end of North Carolina’s COVID-19 state of emergency.Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, announced in July that the state of emergency would end on Aug. 15 because the 2022 $27.9 General Budget, which he signed into law on July 11, included changes in the law that were requested by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. N.C. was one of nine remaining states, mostly led by Democratic governors, under some sort of state of emergency. In recent months, it has remained in effect mainly for eligibility for federal funding and hasn’t had much of an impact on day-to-day life, excluding wearing masks in medical facilities. However, the overall impact of Cooper’s 2020 order led to a year or more of closed schools, bankrupt businesses, and other getcrisis.economicwhilepublicdownskins,oneStudieslockdowns.likethefromJohnsHop-nowshowlock-hadlittletonohealtheffectscreatingahugeandsocialSo,howdidwetothispoint?What N.C. be next?

CHS Principal Shawn Hubers talks with senior Billy Carroll right after the senior’s meeting at the CHS gym on their first day back in school. by MICHAEL E. POWELL michael@cfmedia.infoEditor Cherryville Elementary School custodian and Gaston County school bus driver Lynette Christensen loves art; she loves looking at it, but she especially loves getting to make it and share it with others.So, when she was on an exercise walk around the hall of one of the CHS buildings prior to her starting out on her bus route, she happened to glance up at some of the brightly colored murals on the upper part of the walls. She also noticed there were a couple of empty spaces there and the idea came to her mind that perhaps she could fill one of those spaces with a mural dedicated to the hard-working staff at CHS. She took her idea to Principal Shawn Hubers and he agreed to give her a shot at putting her idea on the wall in paint and marker, and photographs – a veritable multimedia artistic montage! As she was setting up her ladder last week to put a couple of finishing touches to it, she said, “This has taken me about a year to do. As I said, every morning before I started my bus route for CHS, I would walk this hallway to exercise. I saw the other murals on the wall so I asked Mr. Hubers if I could do it. He approved my draft drawing, then I started on it,” she said. “I had to do it after school or on holidays.”Lynettesaid her preferred medium for the mural was acrylic paint markers as they are easier to handle and less “messy”. She also noted this is the first time she has ever tackled a mural beenthat,Bartrop,“veryartalsochairsolddoors.thepicnicsaidAdditionally,before.Christensenshealsopaintedthefourtablessetupoutsidehighschool’scafeteriaShesaidsherepaintswoodenfurniture,suchasanddressers.LynetteisaZentangleteacher,anformshesaidsheenjoysmuch.”“Mysister-in-law,MarygotmestartedinandnowIteachit.I’vedoingthatnowforabout OPEKA

Cherryville High School Principal Shawn Hubers said that, for a first day back at school (Wednesday, Aug. 17), things have gone smoothly. Hubers, in his second year at CHS, and his eighth as a principal, estimated they had around 515 students this year. He noted that last week, “We had our Freshmen Transition camp on Thursday, Aug. 11 from 8 to 11:30, and we had just over 100 Freshmen come it.” He continued, “The camp went great. Our Freshmen were given a vision about what being an Ironmen is all about. They were given a tour of the campus, and instructed on basic rules and procedures. At the end of camp students received their class schedule and a CHSHuberstee-shirt.”hadjust met with his new group of seniors and said he and his staff as well as the students, are all “…looking forward to a greatPrincipalyear.” Matt Rikard, of John Chavis Middle School, noted they had “…right at 400” students enrolled there, many of whom were greeted on their first day back by the school’s cheerleading squad. decked out in their bright blue, orange, and white uniforms. They had a little help too from their mascot, the Chavis Wolverine.LikeHubers, Rikard noted their Aug. 11 orientation “went great”, adding they had a great turnout and much “…support from our students and our parents.” Mr. Rikard noted the kids’ biggest struggle, especially for the new ones coming in, was how to use See DAY,

From Page 1A county school board have been meeting with the sheriff’s office about the safety measures. The schools’ resource officers have undergone training at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. “I hate that we’ve come to a place in our nation where I’ve got to put a safe in our schools, and lock that safe up for my deputies to be able to acquire an AR-15. But, we can shut it off and say it won’t happen in Madison County, but we never know,” Harwood told the local Asheville Citizen Times. In Ohio, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine recently signed HB 99, which allows individual school districts to decide whether or not they permit staff members to be armed on school grounds. It requires minimum training for people authorized to carry firearms in schools, mandating up to 24 hours of school-specific training. Arming school staff members is a trend picking up steam, particularly in more rural areas, where police are too far away to stop the violence and save the “Theyinjured.are their own first responders,” said Laura Carno of FASTER Colorado. “Rural school districts are the early adopters because they are often 30 minutes or more from law enforcement.”FASTERColorado offers intensive firearms and medical training for school staff members. Carno, the executive director, estimates that there are about 5,000-armed school staff on campuses across the country, but knowing exactly how many and where they are is kept very private. In the most recent state budget, school safety will receive an additional recurring $15 million for the School Resource Officer Grant program, specifically for elementary and middle schools, and an additional $32 million for School Safety Grants to support students in crisis, school safety training, and safety equipment in schools.However, those resources may only be one piece of a complex plan to ensure that schools are ready to save lives if the unimaginable school violence happens in N.C. North Carolina does not allow firearms at school, even for staff members with the training and a lawful concealed carry permit off campus. But armed school staff programs are increasing in states that allow it. In 1990, the federal government passed the Gun Free School Zone Act , which makes it illegal to carry a firearm onto K-12 school property. FASTER has joined with other stakeholder groups to urge Congress to repeal it.

Physical safety mechanisms, threat assessments, and the often-overlooked trauma medical training are also critical to saving lives. “What happens if the unthinkable happens? Medics are ten minutes away, and people could bleed out if there is no trauma training,” said Carno.

The 77-page report said that the Robb Elementary School principal knew about security lapses at the school and did not address them. She has been reassigned. The Uvalde police chief is still on unpaid leave. Carno’s goal is to put a much closer line of defense between the killer and the students.Studies of past school shootings show that unarmed teachers and staff frequently sacrifice their own lives for those of the children in their schools.“We can tell by every one of these shootings that people like coaches, teachers, counselors, principals, they run toward the sound of guns to protect children, unarmed, and they do this over and over. They have the mindset to save children,” Carno said, pointing out that teachers have a right to defend themselves and their students from a lethal threat. “It is proper for us to consider the rights of those school staffers, who already have a tough job, they are teaching our kids, to protect kids and live,” she However,added. not all teachers want to be armed. A study from Texas in the days after the Uvalde shooting found that 76 percent of Texas teachers would not want to be armed at school, but 90 percent of them are worried about a classroom shooter. Of the staffers participating in the FASTER training, only about 40 percent of them are teachers. The remaining 60 percent are administrators, coaches, bus drivers, custodians, or lunchroom staff. Most of those participants already had some firearms training. The majority of police now support the effort.

TODAY’S QUOTE: Honesty is the best –Benjaminpolicy.Franklin saying they don’t have what they need to get their school work done. Why is that, pray tell?” He: Mr. Powell, calm down and let me explain to you what unique children you have.” Me: “Huh? What did you just say? Unique? How? Say what?” He smiled then continued.“I meant to call you or write a note to you so y’all wouldn’t be upset with them. They’re amazing children. So giving.” The principal explained how our son and daughter shared their overstocked supplies in their classrooms with those who were less fortunate. He added many kids share from their wealth with those who don’t have as much.Iwas stunned and felt like a jerk. With what we taught our kids, what they learned in Sunday School, their giving was a natural outgrowth of those lessons. We didn’t think those lessons were sinking in. I thanked him and left. Later that night I took my wife aside and told her the story. Her eyes brimmed with tears of pride and happiness. I felt like there was hope for us as parents afterLater,all. with our two fantastic little conspirators who knew only how to give from a free heart, we went in search of more supplies for them to give away. Then, we went for pizza and ice cream! Welcome back to school all y’all! Have a blessed, safe, and fruitful schoolRemember,year. when one child succeeds, we all succeed! it would be the equivalent of having Asheville and Chapel Hill run the state. The change in Colorado gave rise to Democrats like state Rep. Max Tyler, who successfully championed the doubling and tripling of the state’s original 10 percent renewable energy mandate. Tyler’s response to critics: “The sun will always shine for free, the winds will always blow for free, and our energy production will be cleaner. Renewable energy, green jobs, and a cleaner future –what’s not to like?” Colorado ditched its 30 percent mandate a while ago in favor of 100 percent renewables by 2040. As a result, electric rates have skyrocketed. It’s an effective way to keep out the peasants.WhatTyler and other renewable zealots don’t tell you is that converting those sources to electricity is wildly expensive.

we all succeed!
See 951,
to abject fear and an almost pleading look as if to say, “Save us from all this, kindNotstrangers!”wanting to upset or antagonize anyone further, I gently nudged my wife to move faster toward anotherWhenaisle.our kids were small, one of their backto-school highlights was shopping for what they would need for the coming school year. We were blessed we were able to purchase their needed items and then some. Anything extra went to our kids’ home room teachers or into a large community box in the school’s office for others who might need such. It always seemed our kids had enough pencils, paper, notebooks and what-not to start a small accounting firm, but it never seemed to be enough because after the first week, they always wanted more. One day I asked our son how he managed to go through a ream of paper and half a box of pencils in what seemed like a matter of hours. He had an odd, almost embarrassed look on his face but wouldn’t give me an answer. Our daughter was the same. Same lack of supplies; same look on her face. I caught them looking aside to each other as if they had some little secret. Since neither of them would “fess up”, I took matters into my own hands and made an appointment with their elementary principal to get to the bottom of their almost Mafia-like silence.Themeeting went something like this. Me: “Mr. (name withheld to protect the innocent)! I’m afraid we have a problem here. Our children haven’t been here a week yet and already they’re coming home
When one child succeeds,
By Michael Powell michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com
Life and the world are always changing. What you can do today is not guaranteed for tomorrow. Do what you enjoy while you can. None of us want to face every day filled with fear. Worry about tomorrow only messes up today. Watching the news keeps our minds churning about what will happen next. When will China invade Taiwan? How much will it cost America in lives, money and hardship? Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is of course, costing us. We have spent over $54 billion on aid to Ukraine. Many of us want to help Ukraine, yet, we struggle to cover the cost of our country’s government. Here we are again spending money we don’t have while we go into further debt to countries like China, who is buying up our debt, land and businesses. Who operates a business like this? Only America.Thelatest word is that thousands of additional IRS agents will be hired. Agents will need something to do and that means auditing your tax returns. Instead of hiring 87,000 new agents we need to hire some security guards for our schools. Furthermore, the IRS needs to simplify the tax code. Americans need a few deductions like business expenses, interest paid on mortgages, health care and educational costs. Better yet, make it a 15 percent flat tax on everyone and eliminate all federal taxes on those earning under $50,000.Doesthe prospect of being harassed by the IRS inspire you to work harder, make more money and be entrepreneurial? Americans are already beat down by the high cost of groceries, gasoline, housing, and rising interest rates. Emotionally, this planet has been in a dark place for two years with COVID-19, now Monkey Pox, financial strain and always, always, an ongoing war somewhere that we are either involved in or supporting. America’s universities continue to stick it to young families who want their children to have a good education. State funded universities and private colleges continue to increase tuition. Do you really have $160,000 to send your child to college? Most likely, the institution being considered charges even more. The only hope for many American families is the two-year community college. Many teenagers would benefit greatly to have two more years to grow up, some before landing in a dorm room 200 miles from home. The prospects of making it academically, socially, and financially will be greatly increased. This gives them time to seriously consider the right institution to go to for their junior and senior years. They will still have the degree and save some money.Finally, don’t live in despair.Lifegoes by quickly even if you are young. Study, work, make money, be innovative, love people and be kind to everyone. Do some things you think you might enjoy. If you don’t enjoy them, then move on to something else. Enjoy life and do what you can, while you can.

Perfect Timing God has a plan to get us where we need to be, give us what we need and transform us into who we need to become - in his perfect timing! If we receive something, prematurely, we won’t know how to handle it properly. Something that was supposed to be beautiful can become a nightmare if we are not ready for it. For example, many marriages have fallen apart simply because people rushed into it, but hadn’t learned how to value people, be responsible, or communicate effectively. These principles take time to learn. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) states, “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time…” Mistakes When we don’t wait on God and try to make things happen on our own, we’ll usually find ourselves with a big mess that we’ve made. Sarah in the bible was very old and hadn’t had any children. She decided that God wasn’t going to give her any, so she took matters into her own hands. Genesis 16:1-2 (NIV) says, “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Sarai didn’t think about the consequences of her actions. She had a woman working for her that became pregnant with her husband’s baby!! Hagar despised Sarai, and Sarai begin to mistreat her and finally threw her out of her home. The good news is God told Hagar to go back and that he would bless her, and he also caused Sarai to become pregnant and have a son named Isaac. Delayed doesn’t mean denied! Galatians 6:9 (ESV) says, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

“After this the placetowntoinofonsentothersseventyappointedLordandtheaheadhimpairseveryandwhere he himself intended to go. He said to them,‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go on your way. See I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.’” When I was Duke intern at Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church, I had the honor of getting to meet John. John was an older member of the church, and was a distinguished veteran of World War II. He had served in the army and in the invasion of Normandy and D-Day. When we were talking about his war experiences he mentioned the suffering, the deprivation, the horror of war. But then he said, “Still, I look back on those eight years as the very best of my life. For once in my life, I was a part of something bigger than myself. I was on the move. We had a mission. Maybe it’s sad to say, but I look on those years as the best of my“Ilife.”was a part of something bigger than myself.” It is sad that we must wait for a war to have that feeling. The sending of the 70 claims to us that it was just this sort of mission to which Jesus called His disciples.Isawthe other day that the average-size Protestant Christian church in North America has less than 60 folks gathered in attendance on a Sunday morning. That may not be a huge number of people, but if you have ever been in the church, you know that this is no select gathering. Jesus made enough mistakes in selecting those first 12 disciples, what with their misunderstanding, their eventual betrayal, and their denial. So, it is rather surprising to see Jesus enlarge that number and now call as many as 70 to work with Him. But that’s the way JesusHisworks.first12 had already demonstrated by their lack of comprehension and their half-hearted discipleship, that they are not going to be all that great as His assistants. Even with that sorry experience behind Him Jesus launches out again and calls even a larger crowd of assistants. Each and everyone of us who is a part of the Body of Christ are proof of Jesus’ propensity to keep reaching out and naming others to share in his work.

PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father God, I praise you as the Ancient of Days. Before time was, you were. You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end. You created time for humanity, but you live in eternity. Father, forgive me for becoming impatient and trying to make things happen on my timetable. My impatience causes me to make mistakes. Lord, strengthen me to be steadfast, immovable, and always excelling in your work. Please help me to remember that you have a plan and purpose for my life, and that your plan is best. In Jesus’ name I pray - Amen.” Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you! Contact her at www.danyale.com to share a testimony, send a prayer request, or book her to speak.

And aside from all the fact that Jesus, despite His past unfortunate experiences with us, He continues to call more of us. What impresses me about chapter 10 of Luke is the job description that Jesus gives the 70. He sends these ordinary folks out into the world to do the very same things that He is doing.First, he tells the 70 that they are to do miraculous and divine acts. Jesus tells them that when they show up to a town, they are to demonstrate that the “kingdom has come near.” Secondly, Jesus tells the 70 not to worry about where they will get the means to accomplish the work to which He has called them. Finally, Jesus warns the 70 up front that they will encounter rejection and resistance. The 70 are told up front that they are being sent into the world, into the real world. The 70 are sent on a perilous, adventuresome mission.Which leaves us asking, will we go? Will we take up the risk to step out, move out with the 70 and go where Jesus is about to go? There’s risk, yes, but also great joy; the joy of doing what God means for us to do. Jesus is looking for about 70 good men and women to take what He has into the world, to do the very same ministry that He does. Will you go?

In terms of reliability, the cost is even higher. It also puts us in a subservient position to China, which controls roughly 90 percent of the global market of rare earth elements needed to manufacture solar panels and wind turbines. To answer Max Tyler’s question – “what’s not to like?” A lot. Gov. Roy Cooper and the environmental left want a similar path for North Carolina. They want zero carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation, and they want to use industrial wind and utility-scale solar and batteries to meet that goal. Meanwhile, most ratepayers want affordable, reliable, abundant electricity to power their homes, businesses, hospitals, schools – their entire way of life. Those objectives aren’t compatible. Anyone who tells you they are is lying.Inthe words of energy analyst Mitch Rolling, “You can’t have a clean grid without hydro and nuclear. It’s never been done. You can have a clean grid without wind andInsolar.”itsrecently released scenarios to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions, Duke Energy is attempting the impossible. The four different scenarios are heavy on wind, including offshore, along with solar, batteries, and eventually hydrogen. Our latest report from the Center for Food, Power, and Life analyzed each scenario and found the cost will be $140 billion to $160 billion, more than $1,000 per year for residential customers. That’s the decision the Cooper-appointed North Carolina Utilities Commission will make soon on behalf of millions of Tar Heel ratepayers.

Because Duke is a regulated monopoly utility, North Carolinians will assume all the risk by paying hundreds of billions of dollars to build out unproven and unreliable technology. The NCUC sets a rate of return, usually around 9-10 percent, and Duke is allowed to privatize all the profit. Cooper will be out of office in 2024, long before the pain is fullyConsiderfelt. yourselves warned; winter is coming. We won’t be able to keep ourselves warm in January unless we insist to the NCUC and Duke to rely upon nuclear to achieve the General Assembly’s policy goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Standing between North Carolinians and reliable power from nuclear are organizations like the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council, the mega-churches of Dukeyear’slawRatepayerssolar.ontheirweapons.powerclean,intentionallyenvironmentalism.leftistTheyconflatereliablenuclearwithnuclearThey’vefiledownplanheavyunreliablewindandThereisgoodnews.havestateontheirside.LastH.B.951directedtocomplywitha least-cost principle and maintain or improve upon the existing grid reliability when building out the utility’s zero-carbon generation plans.

FIRST DAY but he said, “So far though, so good! It’s been a good first dayRikardback.”said they were able to finish their media center, which is now under the direction of Ms. Allison Harbin, Media“WeSpecialist.wanttothank Elevation Church, Gaston County Campus, for the new media center furniture. It is really great looking and was muchneeded,” he said, adding, “Like everything around here this year, there is a lot of excitement for this new year!” Over at W. Blaine Beam Intermediate, Principal Josh White said their first day back was a “pretty smooth one.” “Our bus arrivals and car drop-offs both went smoothly; went well. Our Open House last week was helpful and we had a great turnout,” he added. Mr. White said they have “…roughly 210-plus students, and we have a new person at the main desk, Ms. Megan Hall. We are all attentive to be extra vigilante of all of our facilities as well.”
FromCOVIDPage1A steps are in place to prevent an overreach of power by a governor if a similar situation were to occur again? Cooper declared a state of emergency on March 10, 2020, a week after the first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the state. A few days later, he issued executive orders closing K-12 public schools for two weeks and putting restrictions on businesses.Initially,health experts like Dr. Tony Fauci, said it would take two weeks to “flatten the curve” if there were restrictions like lockdowns in place for that amount of time. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, as COVID-19 cases rose and restrictions were continually renewed, and others were added. Soon, places such as churches, synagogues, restaurants, bars, hair salons, gyms, playgrounds, entertainment arenas, amusement parks, and sporting events had their in-person activities either restricted or shut down entirely. Events like weddings, funerals, and graduations were cancelled or had extreme limitations. Some businesses began to let employees work remotely in order to stay open. As soon as restrictions were set to be lifted, new executive orders by Cooper extended the declaration each time it was set to expire.Lawmakers and other officials criticized Cooper for declaring a state of emergency without first consulting with N.C.’s 10 elected Council of State members, as was required by statutory Republicanmandates.lawmakers sent bills to the governor during the summer of 2020, some requiring the Council of State’s input to lift restrictions and prevent new ones from being enacted, but Cooper vetoed every one of them. Businesses were hurting, and children began to feel the effects of being isolated from their teachers and classmates. As the first vaccines began their rollout in December 2020, Cooper walked back reopening with a new stay-at-home order, starting Friday, Dec. 11, when North Carolina effectively shut down from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Cooper’s order required nonessential businesses to close by 10 p.m., as well as banning private gatherings and nonessential travel. The order didn’t affect construction, manufacturing, or grocery stores. The state of emergency, curfews, and shutdowns continued through early 2021, along with mask mandates. The state’s heavy-fisted response to the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a delayed economic recovery, reports from state and national economists showed Also, during that month, Cooper urged elementary schools to reopen for in-person learning, with middle and high schools staying shut. The General Assembly passed S.B. 37, allowing in-person instruction for all schools, but Cooper vetoed it. Most schools, however, were able to reopen the following month after new guidance and negotiations from the N.C. Board of Education that led to an agreement to reopen schools.ByMay 2021, Cooper lifted all mass gathering limits and social distancing requirements and removed the mask mandate for most indoor settings. By the end of July 2021, all statewide restrictions were lifted, and any mandates, including mask-wearing, shifted to local governments.Butthestate of emergency remained. Cooper said it was necessary to keep it in place to keep receiving federal funding and to receive vaccines faster. Cooper again vetoed lawmakers’ attempt to reign in Cooper’s power and those of his successors by passing a bill in October 2021. House Bill 264, Emergency Powers Accountability Act, would have required that the governor receive concurrence from the 10-member elected Council of State for an emergency declaration of more than seven days and legislative approval for it to extend beyond 45 days. However, in November 2021, Cooper signed the $25.9 billion biennium budget, the first one he signed since taking office in 2017, which included revisions to the governor’s emergency authority that would go into effect after Jan. 1, 2023. This was part of the original Senate budget bill from Spring 2021 and is a direct response to Cooper’s emergency declarations over the past 20 months due to the pandemic.Therevision would require such orders to get approval from the Council of State after 30 days of being in a state of emergency.“Cooper admitted – and has admitted for months and months on end – that the reason for his declaration isn’t an emergency, but to “draw down federal funds,” said Jon Sanders, director of the Center for Food, Power, and Life and research editor at the John Locke Foundation. “He has been deliberately keeping the state under an emergency declaration to fleece the federal government, meaning the taxpayers.”“Cooper’s making a mockery of the plain intent of the state’s Emergency Management Act necessitated important reforms by the General Assembly last year to prevent future governors from unilaterally declaring an emergency and then “ruling” the state by executive order,” he said. But, the damage has been done in North Carolina and across the U.S., and the world. Data from NCDHHS showed that a growing mental health crisis among teens only increased in the time since the pandemic, with a massive jump in suicide attempts, drug overdoses, and involuntary commitments evident among the state’s teenage population.
Mayor Allen Joines of Winston-Salem announced on Friday that he intends to continue the state of emergency in the city, citing continued infection rates. A COVID state of emergency in California, Washington, and West Virginia remains in effect indefinitely. This summer governors in California, New York, and Illinois have also declared a state of emergency for monkeypox.
Cherryville Elementary also has a new school leader in the person of Mr. Patrick Watson, who was glad to be able to meet with the youngsters as they all came to their first day of school at the schoolhouse where future Ironmen start their Cherryville school journey. Said Mr. Watson, “Everything went very smooth at our first day at school. I am very appreciative of my staff and our great teachers, and, of course, our great parents, as well.”Mr.Watson noted their orientation was fantastic and he was glad to see a good turnout for that. As for the number of students at Cherryville Elementary, Watson said they have “right about 310” in pre-K, up to the third grade enrolled there this year. Like his peers and contemporaries, Mr. Watson didn’t hesitate to point out that their students’ safety “…is (their) number one priority.”

Though Ironmen head football coach Tim Pruitt’s coaching staff has changed slightly, he is, as always, his usual optimistic self. Especially when it comes to his team’s performance when they take to the gridiron turf of Rudisill Stadium on Friday, Aug, 19 against Avery County. In short, he is believing for a goodAsyear.for those coaching changes, Pruitt said, “Our staff changed a little as Houston Gilmore (defensive backs/wide receivers) and Ben Pierce (running backs) did not return.” He continued, “We have added Matt Powers to coach the defensive backs, with Will Puckett as our wide receivers coach and Chapel Moss, who will be working with our running backs, when he is available. Josh Garren will also work with the running backs if needed. Coach Powers was a big help as we went into our seven-on-seven season and it is great to have him back!”As for how he felt the drills went and if any areas needed more work, Coach Pruitt had this to say, “The first four days have been great! The players are working hard to get into better shape and are competing to improve. We have incorporated more conditioning and feel that the players are moving at a high level through their drills. We will continue to stress the importance of mental reps, and the kids are working to install schemes on both offense and defense each day.”

Actual season begins at home on Friday, Aug. 19, against Avery County by MICHAEL E. POWELL michael@cfmedia.infoEditor
Head Ironmen football coach Tim Pruitt directs some of his players to their positions at last week’s skill drills held on CHS’s practice field. ing at 7:30 p.m. SPC 1A conference playoff begin Nov. 4, according to the football schedule.
2022 CHS Ironmen football coaches are (left to right): Assistant coach Matt Powers, Assistant coach Tim Moss, Head coach Tim Pruitt, Assistant coach Will Puckett, Assistant coach Scott Jenkins, and Assistant coach Dell Garren. Absent when the photos were made on Aug. 10 were assistant coaches Chapel Moss and Josh Garren. At the skill drills at CHS’s practice field, assistant Ironmen football coach Tim Moss looks on to see if his charges listen to what he has told them and follow through with his instructions.
New season sees a couple of coaching changes for Ironmen football
Regarding if the Ironmen have added anything new to the playbook, Coach Pruitt noted, “On offense we have worked during the summer and the first four days on taking snaps under center. We can run most of our offense under center and in the gun, but the steps for the quarterbacks and running backs are much different when we take a direct snap. This will allow our backs to hit the hole quicker and will help with giving handoffs and ball security.“On defense we have moved to a 4-3 defense that will be multiple as we feel our numbers on the defensive line are better this season and will be one of the strengths of our Pruittteam.”noted the team’s off-season program (with weights, etc.), “…began the Monday after graduation. The players who attended on a regular basis reported in better shape for day one of practice. Our workout leaders were Camden Williams, Jordan Lowrance, Kam Bolin, Tyler Foley, and Elijah Gibson.” Pruitt said this year’s team is comprised of assistant coaches Scott Jenkins (defensive coordinator, linebackers); Dell Garren (defensive line); Tim Moss (offensive line); Chapel Moss (running backs); Matt Powers (defensive backs); Will Puckett (wide receivers); Josh Garren (defensive line); and team manager, Leroy Montgomery.The number of returning starters: seven on offense and seven on defense. The Ironmen lost seen starters Number of starters but have 28 returning lettermen. Last year’s record, said Pruitt, was 3-8 overall, and 2-4 in the conference. The Ironmen lost to Cherokee in Round 1, 36-15. Pruitt’s 2022 outlook, “The Ironmen will once again face one of the more difficult 1A schedules in the state as they face five 2A teams that won their first-round playoff game 2021. The Ironmen return a Senior-laden roster with lots of experience on the offensive line. The skill positions will lack depth, but will return quarterback Chase Miller and his favorite target in Landon Hahn. Keys to the season will be to find a running back that can complement the passing game and players that can step up to fill heavy losses at linebacker. Our strength is our depth on both the offensive and defensive lines. Our weakness is having depth at the skill positions. Developing that depth has been a focus off the summer and preseasonIncamp.”picking the other teams in the league will finish (excluding CHS), Coach Pruitt noted the following: Shelby, Burns, East Gaston, Thomas Jefferson, Bessemer City and Highland Tech. Said Pruitt, “There are lots of good players at our schools, but the talent level at our 2A schools is the best in the area.”Ten games are on their current schedule, which is always open to additions or deletions. Six of those game are SPC 1A matchups and four are non-conference games. All home games are played at Rudisill Stadium, starting at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted on the school’s website or on the sign by the stadium.The CHS Ironmen’s Homecoming game is

Head CHS men’s soccer coach Michelle Cuomo said she feels the returning players this season are stronger and more skilled than last season. Said Coach Cuomo, “We are about three weeks into training for this season, (and) this year’s roster is one of the strongest line-ups Cherryville has seen in years. As I said, we have a lot of returning players that are stronger and more skilled than last year, providing us with strength in every position on the field. We have talented new athletes and rising freshmen that are providing our team with great numbers to give us depth. We continue to work hard to prepare for this season with high hopes of a great outcome.”Cuomo said of her 2022 roster, “We have nine returning starters from last year and only coach for this season. She is frank in her assessment of last year’s team performance in the SPC 1A as well as her opinion of the SPC 1A teams the Ironmen will face this season. “Last year we had a very young team with the majority of our starters being freshman and sophomores. And even though we didn’t have the best record on paper, we were very competitive in our conference, giving the top teams a close fight. We play in a very competitive conference with many teams that thrive on soccer. However, there is a new sense of confidence within this year’s team. The boys and I can see that there is something special about this year’s group and we believe that it will show on the field.”The team has a scrimmage on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at Bessemer City, at 5:30 p.m., with their first match being an away game on Monday, Aug. 22, at Maiden (start time: 5:30 p.m.), and their first home match at Rudisill Stadium on Wednesday, Aug. 24, against 1

Head Lady Ironmen tennis coach Brandon Shull said recently he is glad to be able to get back out on the Donna Lavery Courts again and get in a few skill drills and some practice before they get down to SPC 1A business again. To that end, he is equally glad he has four starters returning in the person of the Diaz twins – Kelly and Katie, as well as returners Bailey Dugan and Sarah Rayfield. As far as their practices have been going, Shull said, “Practices have been going quite well,” adding their practices “…have focused on different aspects and situations that are part of a (high school) tennis match.” ing starters he noted earlier, Coach Shull clarified, “We bring back four starters from last year; Katie and Kelly Diaz, who as I said, are poised to make another run towards the (SPC 1A) regional tournament and are looking to push for a spot in the state’s tournament. Also, as noted, Bailey (Dugan) and Sarah (Rayfield) return for their second season on the team. And we look to add a few new faces to the team as well!”Acouple of those new faces were out on the courts last week volleying the little yellow ball back and forth as they worked on their net skills, along with their backhand and forehand skills. As for his coaching staff, Coach Shull said that besides himself, assistant coach Art Lewis is still around helping the players, seasoned and otherwise, work on becoming great tennis players. “He always brings in new ideas for drills during practice,” noted Coach Shull.
Lady Ironmen tennis player Bailey Dugan is one of the ladies returning this year to play for the CHS women’s team.

Said Coach Shull, “Last year, Katie and Kelly (the Diaz’s) were the number one doubles team in our 1A side of the conference. We hope to build off that and maybe get some new players motivated and make a strong run in the conference as a team!” As far as his opinion of the SPC 1A teams his Lady Ironmen netters will face this season, Coach Shull preferred to adopt a “wait and see” attitude and outlook at this early stage of the 2022 Fall sports season for CHS.

As for any weaknesses being addressed, Kiser noted, “We lost a lot of height last season so we have been working on strength this summer, adding weights as a part of our workouts. We are incorporating a new offense that will hopefully work well with the returners and newcomers this season. We will be using the scrimmages to solidify the starting lineup.”

The 2022 iteration of The Marching Ironmen band has been working diligently to prepare for another season of getting our Ironmen sports teams full of that fighting spirit we have all become accustomed to every time we hear the great marching band tunes and watch the color guard going through their routines on the Rudisill Stadium field. Again, under the direction of Mr. Mark Ewing, Jr. (Director of Bands), the CHS Marching Ironmen are ready to play their hearts out for their school, and to get the Ironmen in the right spirit of things as the new season“Thisbegins!season’s practices have been very productive,” noted Mr. Ewing recently. “We have a great group of students that really enjoy participating in band. Everything that our staff has taught them has been learned quickly and I attribute that to the work ethic and enthusiasm of the students.”Ewing said he is especially excited because there are so many newcomers to theSaidband.Ewing, “We have many eighth and ninth graders this year joining us, which is fantastic!

CHS Athletic Director and one of two of the cross-country team’s coaches said this season’s team, “…will be young this year but are working veryCoachhard.” Harrill and, once again joining him in cross-country coaching duties, Coach Scott Heavner will once again be leading the cross-country team. Cross Country, both noted they will have some more members join the team once school starts next week (Aug. 17), adding, “But in the meantime, several young ladies have been working out,” said Coach Harrill. He continued, “Freshman Cameron Bell is going to be a solid runner for the Lady Ironmen. Cameron has a desire to get better and works very hard. Three other runners that will be improving are Willow Chambers, Leilanni Delano, and Paige LaRoche.”Returning this season for the CHS Ironmen men’s cross-country team is James Bell, who Harrill noted will be the returning cross-country runner on the men’s side of the team. “Our first meet is Aug. 23, at Shelby,” said Coach Harrill.
