Canipe receives Governor’s Volunteer Service Award Monica Canipe honored for outstanding work and 15 years of loyal volunteer service by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info
At Tuesday night’s, March 9, Adult Nutrition Program’s Board of Commissioner’s meeting, Ms. Monica Canipe of the Adult Nutrition Program of Gaston County was presented the 2020 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award. The Award was presented to her by Linda Slade, President of the United Way of Gaston County. The award was for her outstanding work and for her 15 years of loyal volunteer
service. Canipe, of Cherryville, volunteers with the Cherryville Meal Site, on top of working with Allen Family Living Services. Amanda Dawson, volunteer supervisor at the Adult Nutrition Program, nominated Canipe for going above and beyond the duties that one would normally expect from a volunteer. In a media release, Dawson said, “During her time as acting site monitor, she effectively coordinates volunteers delivering for that week, ensures timeliness in executing programs for our congregate meal participants, calls in accurate meal orders, and maintains an immaculately clean meal site.” Connie McDermid, site supervisor for the Cherryville Meals on Wheels, said of Ms. Canipe, “For the people that she serves, she has become
a member of the family. Her passion to ensure nutrition, safety, and spreading compassion is evident in her commitment to volunteering.” Cherryville’s Meals on Wheels is located at 201 S. Dixie St., in the community building at the Cherry Manor Apartments. McDermid said the group continues to do their home deliveries and the group picks up their week’s worth of frozen meals on Mondays. “The group homes and certain volunteers chose to stop volunteering for the safety of their clients. Monica is a one-on-one worker for a disabled adult,” she noted. Canipe said she got involved in working with Cherryville’s Adult Nutrition Program because the individual she works with “…was already a Meals on Wheels volunteer and that is how I See CANIPE, Page 9
Guthrie receives lifetime achievement award Gaston County Board of Education member Dot Guthrie is the recipient of the prestigious Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement that is presented by the American Library Association (ALA). A veteran educator with more than 40 years of dedicated service as a teacher, school librarian, central office administrator, and Board of Education member, Guthrie is “the epitome of an educational leader who goes beyond the call of duty to do what is best for children,” according to Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker, who wrote a recommendation letter in support of Guthrie’s award nomination. Long before becoming
MRS. DOT GUTHRIE the Gastonia Township representative on the Board of Education, Guthrie worked for Gaston County Schools for more than 30 years. She served as the district’s library/media services director and was named the Media Coordinator of the Year for three consecutive years. After retiring from Gaston County, she served as a librarian in the neighboring Clover, South Carolina school district.
Well-known and respected in the community, Guthrie wrote the book, “Integrating African-American Literature in the Library and Classroom,” and coordinated the first Gaston County Diversity Book Fair. She has served as a leader, conference presenter, and contributor for the ALA, and two years ago, she was instrumental in founding the first African-American history and culture museum in Gaston County. Additionally, she is active in Tabernacle Baptist Church in Gastonia, serving as an associate minister. In 2019-2020, the North Carolina School Boards Association acknowledged Guthrie’s many contributions by presenting the School Board Member Leadership Award to her. Perhaps most of all, Guthrie is known for her love of books, reading, and See GUTHRIE, Page 9
Like many in his profession, CHS Principal Kevin Doran doesn’t go around seeking the spotlight or trying intentionally to be in the public eye. However, being nominated as one of five finalists for Gaston County Principal of the Year 2021-2022 is quite an honor, and Doran is no exception when he admits he is pleased to have been nominated. As he said via email, “I am honored to be a finalist, but there are other, much more deserving candidates. I just appreciate my peers putting me in the conversation.” In addition to Mr. Doran, the other four nominees are Jill Payne, Hawks Nest STEAM Academy; Loretta Reed, Woodhill Elementary School; Torben Ross, Robin-
KEVIN DORAN CHS Principal son Elementary School; and Tyler West, Pinewood Elementary School. According to the Gaston County Schools’ web site, the winner “…will be revealed this spring during our 'Evening of Excellence’ program, which is being sponsored this year by Truist Bank.” Doran, who is from Pittsburgh, PA, graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in
1994, and is a 1999 Marshall University graduate (Education degree). “I graduated from Gardner Webb in 2009 with a Masters in Educational Leadership.” Kevin said he moved to Gaston County in 1999, “… right out of college to get out of the cold weather and stayed because of the community and meeting my wife. I have two daughters, Riley 10, and Ryan, 6.” He said, “I started at Cramerton Middle School in the 1999-2000 school year,” and taught Math at Cramerton Middle School (GCS system). He then taught Science at Northeast Middle School (CMS system), became the Assistant Principal at Forestview High School (GCS system), then came to Cherryville High School (GCS system) as the Principal.

2021 Cherry Blossom Festival cancelled by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info
According to a March 19, media release, Cherryville Chamber of Commerce Vice-President Mary Beth Tackett said that in order to comply with COVID-19 restrictions still in effect by the state of North Carolina, the Cherryville Events officials have made the decision to cancel Cherryville’s 2021 Cherry Blossom Festival, which was originally scheduled for April 16, through the 17. Said Mrs. Tackett in the
release, “The State of North Carolina still has restrictions in place to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, which includes limiting outdoor gatherings to only 50 people. This restriction stays in effect until March 31, 2021. She continued, “Our Cherry Blossom Festival was set to take place just three weeks after that marker on April 16, and 17, leaving us with insufficient time to plan this event if the above-mentioned restrictions were to be lifted. We felt we had to make a decision at this time that is
in line with the guidelines in place. We apologize for any inconvenience.” The Cherry Blossom Festival is a product of the Cherryville Main Street Program, which is a part of the City of Cherryville, and the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce. Tackett noted that all vendor fees will be transferred to next year’s festival or to a rescheduled festival later this year. “This will be of the vendors’ choice, unless other directions are made,” she added.
Puzzling numbers on who received Group 1 vaccines in North Carolina Nearly 600,000 vaccine doses beyond the original estimate for health care worker vaccinations were administered to individuals who identified as Group 1 by LAURA LEE Carolina Public Press
When the COVID-19 vaccines entered the last stages of development, North Carolina officials submitted a vaccine plan to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlining their intention to give the first available doses to a population hit hard
Vaccine vials to be administered at the FEMA-supported mass vaccination at the Four Seasons Town Centre in Greensboro. (photo by Clare Grant/Carolina Public Press) by the pandemic: health care workers with in-person patient contact.
The plan estimated this top-priority group would be about 102,000 to 117,000 individuals who would choose to be vaccinated, and an additional 180,00 to 220,000 non-frontline health care workers would be vaccinated. But data obtained from the state Department of Health and Human Services shows that, as of Feb. 24, more than 930,000 North Carolinians received first doses of COVID19 vaccines as part of Group 1, nearly triple even the highest original estimates of first doses needed for state’s health care workers, raising See VACCINES, Page 5

as a staff, have learned so much by teaching through a pandemic, but I believe that I can speak for everyone when I say that we are looking forward to a safe return to normalcy. We miss seeing all of our students in classrooms, seeing packed
hallways at class change, and all the extra-curricular activities almost as much as our students.” As he always does, Mr. Doran ended the interview with his ever-present, closing statement: “Go Ironmen!”

Dr. (W. Jeffrey) Booker placed me at CHS seven years ago, I could not have imagined how grateful I would feel today. The school, staff, students and community are second to none. This is a special place and I am blessed to be here.” Doran and his staff have been responsible for many good things happening at CHS. Some of their CHS accomplishments include, but aren’t limited to: excellent student growth and test scores; a 95 percent graduation rate recognized by the state; major upgrades to the CHS school grounds, such as painting, landscaping, parking lot work, getting a future sign; creation of the Public Service Academy; and working hand-in-hand with the Cherryville Education Foundation. The CHSEF has raised well over $100,000 for the school and its teachers. Doran continued, “What I am most proud of is our staff. This is a special group of people. They do so much for the students of Cherryville. They make us all look good.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
OPINION
Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light. –George Washington
A little bit of this; a little bit of that… On Easter Occasionally I will break up these rambling op-ed columns of mine into two, two-part written gripe sessions, most of which I hope will serve someone some good. This is one of those, so if you’re not a fan of that, stop reading right now. I don’t want your eyes to hurt or somehow bleed if I offend some doofus, irrational sensibility of yours while putting pen to paper (or fingers to keys, as it were!). The first part of this piece has to do with Easter and what it has always meant to me. Those of you who have stuck around the past 14 years I’ve been the editor of this grand old paper know by now how conservative and opinionated I am about the things of Christ and such, especially when it comes to ascribing such things to our Savior as the exact date when He was born or His death and resurrection. And as for how the birth and resurrection of Christ got “hijacked” by toys,

Don’t get me wrong here; just like any other kid then, I dearly loved getting the Christmas swag and even the Easter chocolate bunnies and other assorted paraphernalia in my Easter basket. The older I got though I began to see that by not teaching the proper history of Christ’s church that we who are believers, were perpetuating a centuries-old myth that doesn’t do much in the way of preparing little Johnny or
little Suzy for understanding just Who Christ really is! Anyway, maybe with all this COVID junk going on and what-not, perhaps we could ratchet up the kindness factor by trying to let our kids/grandkids in on the fact that thanks to Christ’s birth and His redeeming death, we do indeed have hope in a hopeless world, and that’s not such a bad thing, after all.

We had to be sure to change our clothes since everyone wore new clothes on Easter Sunday. I must confess, I didn’t really understand the new clothes on Easter, but now I relate them to the new life a person has because of Easter. I wish a Happy Easter to all. I wish you peace, good clothes to wear, and good food to eat. But most of all I wish you the opportunity to hear the story of Jesus Christ.

One problem with all Americans making a minimum of $15 Glenn Mollette an hour Guest Editorial is that some business owners don’t make $15 an hour. Hundreds of thousands of small business owners struggle every day to keep the lights on and the doors of their business open. The only way they can afford help is with people who are willing to work for a low wage. This is tough for all. In most cases the business owner would like to pay more and the employee needs to make more. You can’t economically survive on $290 a week. Apartment rent can easily be $500 to $3000 a month depending on where you live. Add utilities, cell phone, transportation and you can forget eating much if any. The reality is that minimum wage workers can barely survive. They end up applying for

public assistance, standing in food bank lines and eventually face deteriorating health and often homelessness. You cannot care for yourself on $7.25 an hour. Living out of your car or in a tent is not the American dream. It is time for a federal minimum wage increase. Eleven to $12 an hour would be a push for many small business owners but we all need to push and try to get there together. Eventually everything goes up in price but it’s some relief for millions of Americans in the short-term. Even $12 an hour is only $480 a week, but if you are surviving on $290 per week it would have to seem like winning the lottery. However, consider the impact this will have on a “mom and pop” business that has five employees and suddenly the payroll has just jumped by almost $1,000 more per month. It will be tough. A $15 minimum wage means $600 a week – or more than doubling everyone’s pay. How many businesses in America can just flip the switch and double everyone’s pay?
Boone, and the BCHS lunch ladies) for staying right with my wife until GEMS arrived. Thank you also to the GEMS ambulance crew who took care of her. So, from the very blessed Powells… thank you from the bottom of BOTH of our hearts! God bless all y’all!
If you are the employee you are desperate for higher wages. If you are the employer you worry about how you will pay the higher wage. The Congressional budget office reported the higher $15 minimum wage would lift 900,000 out of poverty. On the other hand, the same CBO reported 1.4 million would lose their jobs by 2025. The only place in America who currently has a $15 minimum wage is Washington, D.C. If you have ever gone out to eat in D.C. then you know $15 an hour is not enough in that town. Washington state is $13.69. California is $14. New York is $12.50. West Virginia is $8.75. Kentucky is $7.25. Indiana is $7.25. Texas is $7.25. Florida will be $10 soon. Utah is 7.25. The bottom line for us all is do not settle for any minimum wage forever. Work hard for a promotion or move to a better paying job. Minimum means a starting job rate. It doesn’t have to mean your maximum pay rate forever.
Republicans need to unite in defense of the American way of life by TOM KLINGENSTEIN Guest column
Today’s Republican Party is lost. There is no clear mission driving the GOP. Some Republicans may describe their mission as “freedom” or “limited government.” But this is only a means to a mission. These maxims don’t provide guidance as to what the government should be doing at any particular time. A better mission is this: to
“preserve the American way of life.” This is a shorthand for securing the conditions necessary to pursue a worthy life — what the Founders meant by “happiness” in the Declaration of Independence. America used to see ourselves as one people with a single culture, directed by the Declaration, supported by the Judeo-Christian ethos and shaped by our history. Of course, there were
sub-cultures, but we understood them as all sharing the fundamental attributes of a single culture. We insisted that immigrants be assimilated. Colorblindness was our ideal. We believed ourselves to be the least class-conscious, most self-reliant, most religious people in the world. We valued work, no matter how humble. Dependency was thought to be shameful. We believed that happiness

required doing good in this world, and we prized civic participation. Many Americans still hold this understanding of our way of life, and it is this that Republicans should preserve. But today, our society is ruled by another regime — an ideology that calls itself multiculturalism but seeks ultimately to destroy and replace our colorblind, Declaration-inspired heritage.

rights-bearing individuals with a shared understanding of a national good, this ideology prizes a collection of cultural identity groups, ranked by victimhood. Political correctness is its enforcement arm. Its end is a society where there are no outcome disparities among identity groups. We see this movement on vivid display. Through projects such as The New York Times’ 1619 Project,
multiculturalists are working actively to rewrite US history, reinvent education, destroy the family and the beliefs and values that are intrinsic to the American way of life. In a society, there will always be differences among different groups. But multiculturalists demand the destruction of natural differences — the expansion of state power and countless

Communist threat and gross hypocrisy continue in America by BILL BOWMAN As a member of the media, I predict I will be the first political prisoner jailed and held without bail in Cumberland County when the Braunhemden (Brownshirts) march down Hay St. and demand the Fayetteville City Council turn the Market House into a Brew Pub. Seriously, I want to preface this article the same way I have the many others I have penned by asking you to view these words through the lens of being an American. For a moment, set aside subjective notions of race, gender, religion, and political affiliation just long enough to envision the big picture of the unique blessings and freedoms afforded us by living in a free nation. Compare this to what we have to lose by taking these freedoms for granted and accepting the lawlessness, violence, hypocrisies, and high tech corruption that are slowly but effectively eradicating our Constitutional freedoms and our nation. It is a frightening trend too real and, without a doubt, a clear and present danger to all of us. It is no secret that since the height of the Cold War of the 1950s and 60's that the Soviet Union and the Communists were determined to take over the world and implement communist rule. The United States was their prime target because our U.S. Constitution was the most ridged and directly opposed to their tyrannical and repressive government. The Cold War ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991; however, what did not dissolve in the 21st century was the communist threat and their determination to destroy our Constitution, American Democracy, and our way of life. Socialist, Communist, Marxist and anti-Americans have infiltrated and penetrated the ranks of our American government. They are resolved more now than ever to destroy America from within in hopes of winning the title "Ruler of the World." Well, the way I see it, that will be a competitive and challenging race to the finish line between Communist China and Communist Russia. Both bad actors of failed and suppressed governments that view the United States of America as their Grand Prize. In July 2020, I published in this newspaper a list of 45 Current Com-
munist Goals. These communist objectives first appeared in the 1958 book "The Naked Communist" written by former FBI agent W. Cleon Skousen. Reprinted in 2014 with over a million copies sold, his insightful writings warned America of the imposing communist threat. So remarkably logical, realistic and probable were these goals Florida State Rep. A.S. Herlong, Jr. requested that they be taken liter-
ally and seriously and made part of the Congressional Record to warn America of the threat and catastrophic effects of communism. The Communist Goals were read into the Congressional Record in 1963. In the July 22 edition of Up & Coming Weekly, I outlined in red 20 of those goals (44%) that have already been fulfilled or achieved. Sadly, since July, we can add two more: 41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents (school/
educational indoctrination). 42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition. (Portland, Or., Seattle, WA., and Kenosha, Wis.) During these past couple years, things haven't been looking so good for the Good Guys. Read these carefully. Then add in: the developing duel justice systems, skepticism of fair elections, bias media coverage/no media coverage, national, state and local laws and rules that destroy businesses and livelihoods, teachers who refuse to teach, billionaires in government making rules and laws their constituents have to obey but they don't. Where does one even start to identify and define gross hypocrisy? I will end this the way I started: We live in a free country. It has a proud history and a track record that, despite our shortcomings, has made us the greatest and most powerful nation in the world. Our unified goal should be to preserve this country, and that transcends any notions of bias. Hundreds of American's have died to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Even today people are dying in their attempt to get here for these freedoms. The only way we can put our nation in peril is to ignore the prominent warnings that our leadership at all levels of government are leading us in the wrong direction, and we stand idly by offering no resistance. White, Black, LGBTQ, Democrat, Republican or Independent does not make any difference. We are all Americans and not prone to speak Russian or Chinese or live under a suppressive communist government. The outlandish government behavior, business, and civil actions we are experiencing in America today would have people imprisoned, shot, or tortured in Russia or China. Again, this is the reality of it regardless of your race, color, religion or political affiliation. Believe it.

We the People
UNITE From Page 4 social restrictions, including stringent political correctness. Many Republicans don’t seem to think defending the American way of life is terribly important. Rather, they focus on low taxes, gun rights, strong defense and the rest of the traditional GOP agenda. Worse, some Republicans, particularly those of a libertarian bent, say to the multiculturalists, “You can live the way you wish, just let us live the way we wish.” What they don’t understand is they are fighting an enemy with totalitarian instincts. Multiculturalists practice “do it our way — or else.” This is a culture war of their making. How can Republicans fight this war? We must strengthen the foundations of the American way of life — family, religion, education, and
community. But more important, Republicans must build public sentiment in favor of the American way of life. This is critical right now, because Americans don’t fully understand the extent of the multicultural threat. In fact, broad swaths are uninformed, because the multiculturalists control the opinion-forming institutions. Republicans must take to the political arena to make well-developed arguments and call out multiculturalism when it manifests itself. They must create an overarching narrative that ¬allows us to see the monster of multiculturalism in its entirety. Yes, this is a challenge. But if we don’t do this, those citizens who don’t bow to the altar of multiculturalism will assume they are alone — and acquiesce to what they perceive as an irresistible new orthodoxy. It isn’t enough for Republicans to make just any arguments, however. They must make
the right arguments from justice. Multiculturalists understand this well, and it makes them appear to have the high moral ground. They have (social) justice; Republicans have “it costs less,” “reduce the size of government” or “states’ rights.” Republicans will not win that fight. Rather, justice arguments must be met with other, better justice arguments. None of these arguments will work however if we can’t speak about who we are. Thus, to preserve the American way of life, we must also confront the tyranny of political correctness. While exquisitely sensitive to its demands, Republicans don’t publicly identify political correctness as a problem, let alone the problem. Indeed, no Republican — other than President Trump — is campaigning against political correctness. This must change, lest we lose the American Dream. Forever.
VACCINES From Page 1 questions about who received vaccinations under the state’s top-priority group and whether they were properly screened. The original plan cited Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing roughly 450,000 health care workers in the state, just less than half of the number of first doses administered to Group 1 recipients. “The way we define it, it’s hard to find a data source out there that can actually give us accurate estimates of the number of people in the group,” said Dr. Charlene Wong, Chief Health Policy Officer for COVID-19 at the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), during a phone interview with Carolina Public Press on Friday, March 12. State officials stopped tracking which group an individual claims in order to be eligible for the vaccine, allowing providers to enter the information “if known.” “Per their agreement with the state, providers are responsible for confirming that people are eligible to receive a vaccine,”
DHHS spokesperson Chris Mackey wrote, but as of March 5, providers are only required to group for eligibility into CVMS, the state’s vaccination management system, “if known” under DHHS guidance. Data from DHHS shows 931,451 first doses were administered to individuals identifying as members of Group 1 through Feb. 24, but “DHHS does not have exact data on the total number of people vaccinated in Group 1 and Group 2,” Mackey said. “Since North Carolina began vaccinations, priority groups have been redefined, and providers have captured this data inconsistently.” Who is a health care worker? The original vaccine plan submitted to the CDC in fall 2020 defined the first group prioritized, then called phase 1a, as “health care workers and medical first responders who are at high risk of exposure based on work duties or who are vital to the initial COVID-19 vaccine distribution” and staff of long-term care facilities. Under the original plan, nurses, physicians, dentists, hygienists, EMT/paramedics and
home health workers who were also at high risk of exposure to the potentially deadly virus were to be the first to receive the vaccine. The plan defined “high risk of exposure” as “those caring for COVID-19 patients, cleaning areas where COVID-19 patients are admitted, performing procedures at high risk of aerosolization (e.g., intubation, bronchoscopy, suctioning, invasive dental procedures, invasive specimen collection, CPR), handling decedents with COVID, administering vaccine in initial closed or targeted vaccination clinics.” As the vaccine distribution began, Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Mandy Cohen reiterated the high priority of the state’s medical professionals. “The best way to fight COVID-19 is to start first with the vaccinations for those at highest risk, reaching more people as the vaccine supply increases,” she said at a Dec. 15 press conference. “That’s why we’re starting first with our health care workers at highest risk of exposure and our longterm care staff and residents.” Long-term care workers’ doses were offered through a

THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD Congressional Record-Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 Rep. HERLONG: Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America. At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals" — which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen: Current Communist Goals 1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. 2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. 3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. 4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. 5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. 6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. 7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. 8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev‘s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N. 9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress. 10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N. 11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.) 12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. 13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. 14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office. 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. 16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers‘ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 18. Gain control of all student newspapers. 19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. 20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions. 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures and films. 22. Continue to discredit American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
Wednesday, March 24, 2021
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.” 24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press. 25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.” 27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.” 28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state. ” 29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modem needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. 30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.” 31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big” picture. Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. 32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture-education, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. 33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. 34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. 35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. 36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. 37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. 38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders, which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat. 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. 40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. 41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. 42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems. 43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government. 44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. 45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court. “The Naked Communist“ is a 1958 book by American political theorist W. Cleon Skousen, a former FBI employee. The book has been reprinted several times, most recently in a 2014 printing through Izzard Ink Publishing, and it has sold more than 1 million copies. The main subject of the book is an articulated Communist plot to overcome and control all of the world‘s governments that are not members of the Communist bloc through the implementation of social progressivism and by undermining American foreign policy through the promotion of internationalism and pacifism. The early chapters of the book cover the philosophy of Marxist and Soviet Communism as well as some of the history of Communist power in various countries including the USSR and Cuba.
of the United States of America VACCINES From Page 5 separate system, the pharmacy partnership for long-term care program, run by CVS and Walgreens in partnership with the federal government. They are not included in the data that DHHS provided unless they opted to get a dose through a state provider rather than one of the federal partners, Mackey said. Although state officials announced an updated plan on Dec. 30, to align with new CDC guidance, health care workers with possible COVID-19 exposure continued to be first in line, according to DHHS statements at the time. “Hospitals and local health departments are vaccinating health care workers caring for and working directly with patients with COVID-19 and those giving vaccines,” a statement from DHHS read. On Jan. 14, state officials announced a move to make all health care workers, regardless of exposure level, eligible as part of Group 1. The most recently available and self-reported data from the American Hospital Association shows that in 2018, North Carolina had 164,798 full-time hospital personnel and 40,144 part-time personnel, according to the N.C. Healthcare Association. The 204,942 hospital em-
ployees make up some but not all of the state’s health care workers. “Group 1 includes paid and unpaid persons serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients, bodies or infectious materials,” Mackey said. “This is a much broader category than our early planning estimates, which were based on North Carolina Bureau of Labor Statistics categories for occupation and therefore a narrower definition of health care worker.” The original vaccine plan submitted to the CDC identified 448,940 health care workers using Bureau of Labor Statistics categories for a range of health care occupations in a variety of settings, including physicians, nurses, paramedics, lab technicians, medical assistants, nutritionists, optometrists, home health care aides and others. The Kaiser Family Foundation found an only slightly higher estimate of 472,500 health care workers with direct patient contact in North Carolina in 2019. The figure includes “workers providing direct clinical care, such as doctors, nurses, and aides; workers providing direct patient support, such as environmental and food staff; and firstline supervisors and managers of these occupations.” It is not expected that every health care worker in the state
will elect to receive the vaccine, Wong said. Because some individuals may choose not to get the vaccine, the original plan estimated a maximum need of 337,000 first doses for health care workers. Even if every eligible health care worker opted for the vaccine, under the original plan estimate or the Kaiser Family Foundation estimate, health care workers would account for only half of the individuals vaccinated as part of Group 1 through Feb. 24. An individual claiming eligibility as a health care worker did not have to show evidence of their role, as all vaccine recipients are not required to show proof of age or employment. “Individuals can self-attest to the criteria (e.g., age, job role, health status, living situation) that they qualify for in eligible priority groups,” DHHS provider guidance states. Changes in age-based prioritization Some of the nearly million doses administered to Group 1 before Feb. 25 may be individuals 75 and older because of changes to the way the state categorized vaccine recipients. North Carolinians ages 75 and older were originally part of Group 1, then called phase 1b, and became eligible for vaccinations the week of Jan. 4. In that week, 33,415 individuals ages 75
and older received doses, according to the DHHS dashboard. The following week, state officials moved individuals 75 and older into an expanded Group 2, which included individuals 65 and older. In the week of the announcement, 102,027 individuals 75 and older received the vaccine. It is unclear whether the 135,442 individuals 75 and older who received doses in those two weeks in January were included in Group 1 or Group 2. Line-skipping and vaccine management protocols While some seniors struggled to find available appointments in January and February, other individuals skipped the line, taking doses out of order in violation of the state’s suggested protocol. At least one major hospital system, Atrium Health, allowed individuals who did not qualify as front-line health care workers with priority to schedule vaccinations initially. Individuals who booked appointments by self-attesting to being members of a group for which they do not qualify could account for some of the doses beyond the original estimate administered to individuals identified as group 1. Asked Friday about the possibility of individuals who did not qualify as group 1 but who received the vaccine accounting for some of the difference in
numbers, Mackey said, “I think that opportunity is there.” But line-skipping may account for only part of group 1 recipients. The discrepancy could be a reporting issue because of what Wong described as “messiness” in the data. “The data do not reflect the total number of people vaccinated in each group throughout the state because the data are inconsistent,” Mackey said. CVMS, the multimillion-dollar, state-created software system to manage the vaccination process, required providers to enter which group an individual declared for eligibility. In late January, the N.C. Healthcare Association issued a letter to state officials calling CVMS a “burdensome and ineffective” system that slowed the vaccination process. Because of the “complexities of accurately capturing the data,” DHHS changed the process to no longer require entry of an eligibility group into the CVMS, Mackey said. On March 5, the state shared with partners that the “required” field for group eligibility would be “required, if known.” Mackey described several reasons for the change. “New vaccination sites such as pharmacies are not currently able to collect these additional data elements,” Mackey said. “In addition, vaccine providers can
enter recipients’ information into CVMS either by a bulk upload (e.g., a health system may bulk uploaded (sic) all of their 65-plus patients) or at the point of care, and the COVID questionnaire for vaccine recipients is optional. The group information also has the option to be auto-populated.” In directions for providers, the department acknowledges that health care providers may make the determination about whether someone is eligible or not. A provider “can use discretion to administer a COVID-19 vaccine to a Recipient with a ‘not eligible’ status,” the guidance states. “The HCP can determine if a Recipient falls under a currently eligible Priority Tier group and proceed with vaccination (in accordance with the CDC and NCDHHS prioritization of COVID-19 vaccine recipients).” Currently, members of groups 1, 2 and 3 may self-identify for vaccinations throughout the state. North Carolina moving to Group 4 on March 17, Gov. Roy Cooper announced last Thursday. While the state offers guidance on when to move to the next prioritized group, county-level providers independently determine when to move from one group to the next.

As season opens, Lady Ironmen softball team lose two by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info
Lady Ironmen softball interim head coach Callie Hahn said her ladies opened the season going on the road at Chase. Hahn noted that after a hard fought game against the Lady Trojans, her ladies came up short by a 6-4 score. Said Coach Hahn, “We got behind but kept fighting back before eventually taking the loss. Some of our players haven’t played since the shutdown last year, but I was proud of how we continued to battle.” Hahn said offensively for the Lady Ironmen, Aleigha Whisnant and Amber Roach had a hit and an RBI each, with Rileigh Kiser getting a double in the loss. “Raegan Nowoweicki pitched well in the losing ef-
fort, going the distance and allowing only two earned runs while striking out nine batters,” said Coach Hahn. On Wednesday, March 17, the ladies had a home opener when they played host to a strong hitting East Rutherford Lady Cavaliers team. Said Coach Hahn, “East (Rutherford) had two (2) homeruns, one (1) triple and five (5) doubles in smashing their way to a 5-inning, 12-0 victory.” Hahn continued, “Plain and simple? We couldn’t get them out and they just kept hitting.” Hahn said Kaitlyn Newsome led the ladies with a 2-hit day that included a double, with Whisnant hitting a double as well. “Laila Davis saw her first varsity action on the mound in relief of starter and losing pitcher Raegan Nowoweicki,” said Hahn,

GUTHRIE From Page 1 libraries. “It is appropriate to say that one of Mrs. Guthrie’s callings in life is to promote the importance of reading by making sure that the necessary resources are available to engage children in reading,” wrote Dr. Booker. “She wholeheartedly believes that a child’s academic success is dependent on a child’s strong foundation in reading.” As chairperson of the Board of Education’s curriculum and instruction committee, Guthrie has worked with the committee members to make a commitment to ensuring that classroom libraries and school media centers are the best they can be. “She has provided guidance and leadership on two important projects in Gaston County Schools: our efforts to update classroom library collections and our efforts to renovate school media centers,” said Dr. Booker. “The progress we have made in this area is largely because of Mrs. Guthrie’s oversight, her regular reminders about how crucial our school libraries are to the overall instructional program, and her unique abil-

ity to rally support and consensus from her fellow Board members.” The Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement is named for author and civil rights leader Coretta Scott King and award-winning children’s author Virginia Hamilton, who wrote more than 35 books during her career and received the prestigious Newbery Medal in 1975. The award is presented (in even years) to African-American authors and illustrators for their successful efforts to produce and publish quality literature for children and young adults. In odd years, the award is given to practitioners who use African-American literature to engage youth in reading and related activities. Further, all recipients have a proven record of making a significant and lasting literary contribution. As the 2021 practitioner winner, Guthrie was recognized during the ALA’s Youth Media Awards virtual presentation on Jan. 25. She received a medal and $1,500 check.

the second half and handing the Ironmen a 31-20 defeat, ruining Senior Night for the team’s 12 Senior players. They are: Matthew Torres; Austin Thompson; Christian Hahn; Ford Golden; Eli Moss; Hunter Goodman; Gage Price; Dawson Long; Austin Henry; Austin Houser; Carson Wright; and Colton Godfrey. After the half, the Spartans came back onto the field and started mixing things up by a combination of passing the ball frequently interspersed with running the ball quite a bit as well. The Spartan defense kept starting quarterback Austin Thompson busy scrambling out of their way, costing him
lost yardage in the process. Thompson completed just four of his 19 passes for a total of 59 yards. Backup QB Kadin Beaver came in and completed six of his 10 passes for a total of 91 yards. The Ironmen had a total of 150 yards in the air. Receivers for the Ironmen were Landon Hahn (6 passes for 103 yards); and Christian Hahn (5 passes for 45 yards). Landon, who caught a 57-yard TD pass, and a 12-yard TD pass, all in the fourth quarter, also intercepted three Spartan passes for the Ironmen. Kicker Eli Moss’ PATs were good for the Ironmen, all except for one of them. The young Ironmen team
had a total of 38 rushing yards from Cooper Sloan (10 carries/44 yards; one 8-yard TD run); Chase Miller (10 carries/33 yards); Austin Thompson (seven carries/-45 yards); Gage Price (two carries/six yards); and Kadin Beaver (one carry/-7 yards). Total Ironmen yardage for the game from rushing and passing: 188 yards. The Ironmen will travel Friday, March 26, to play the Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy’s Gryphons.

their food and interact with them.” Monica said receiving the award was a “first” for her, adding, “I was very honored to receive this award. This is my first time receiving any kind of award like this and I can’t believe they picked me it is such a honor.” Canipe said of Allen family Living, Inc., “They provide services to individuals
with disabilities and they are located in Cherryville. I have worked in this field for probably 20 years or more.” As a volunteer, Canipe noted the single-most important need for the Adult Nutrition Program right now is that all the clients seem to love the company and to have someone to talk to for a few minutes. “They are all very thank-
ful for the food and for all the volunteers for bringing it to them,” she said, adding, “We love delivering Meals on Wheels and the people we deliver them to. We love helping Connie at the meal site getting the bags packed and helping her cleanup and such. Connie is such a wonderful person and Meal Site Coordinator!”
of device you’ll be using. ‘Freading’ is compatible with any computer or laptop, as well as Apple iPad and iPhone, Android devices, Kindle Fire, and even Nooks and Kobo e-readers. Next, you’ll need to obtain/install Adobe software which will act as Digital Rights Management (DRM is what keeps track of how long you can keep the e-book and “returns” it when your loan has expired). On a computer or laptop, you’ll want to download Adobe Digital Editions and create an Adobe ID to authorize it. On a mobile device, you’ll want to install the Freading App; you may also need to authorize your device, which you do by logging in using your Adobe credentials (if you don’t have an Adobe ID, again, you’ll
need to create one). After that, it’s as easy as finding a title and checking it out! All GCPL borrowers can borrow three (3) titles per week during a 4-week period; unused book loans roll over to the next, continuing to do so until the 4-week period has expired.

Church to hold Easter event for kids On March 27, 2021 starting at 7 p.m., a live drivethru Easter drama will be held at Oak Grove Baptist Church. Kids will receive an Easter bag with small
gifts. The church is located at 445 Tot Dellinger Rd., Cherryville. For more information, please contact Pastor Travis Mull at (704) 300-0769.
PJ’s watching services is just easier than wrestling the kids to get ready and actually leaving the house, right? You may have found comfort in tuning in from afar. However, there is one small problem with this. Being away from the fellowship with other believers can cause us to grow weak in our walk. It is all too easy not to even join the online services or to cut them short because of other things going on around us. I believe it is very important for us to worship and fellowship alongside other believers, together in person, to keep us encouraged. I believe that is why the scripture teaches us in Hebrews 10:25 to not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. What if I have suffered a failure or an undesirable circumstance in my life? How could I return to church? What will people say or
think? In short, the answer should be, “Who cares what they think!” The truth is, if they are truly Christians, then they should not be there to judge. Instead, they should come alongside of you to support you and to pray for you. The Bible teaches us in Romans 3:23 that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. While this does not give us a license to sin or to do wrong, it does encourage us not to continue in the sin, ask for forgiveness, and not to return to that failure. As far as what other people think, well it was Jesus Who said in John 8:7, “He who is without sin cast the first stone.” Being that the Bible teaches we have all sinned, then that means no one is qualified to do so. So many people run away from the church and even from God when something bad happens in their lives because they worry about what others
might think. I believe the true answer to our problems is to run TO Jesus and the church, where we can find others to go with us through the storm. May we find some there that may look down on us or think bad of us? Sure, but the reason they do this is not because they are righteous or “holier than thou”. No, it is because they too have a failure or a sin that they need to turn to Jesus and the church to get help to overcome as well. As a Christian, it is not up to us to judge others or we ourselves fall into sin. So do not let people be the reason you don’t attend church. Never forget that Jesus loves you and there are a lot of good Christians that love you too. Lastly, maybe the church or the people of the church have let you down. A preacher friend of mine often says many of us have a bad
church story or a bad people story but none of us have a bad Jesus story. The truth is, sometimes people and even whole church bodies may let us down. However, more times than not, it was unintentional and they might not even know that you feel let down or hurt. Sometimes we need to give the church or the people a second chance. I am so glad Jesus did not kick me to the curb the first time I messed up. However, if you cannot make amends and don’t feel the Lord leading you back to a particular church, then pray and ask the Lord where He would have you to attend and serve. Remember, the Bible teaches us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves. There really are a lot of good churches with loving congregations that would love to have you as part of their church family.
