Small Town

MMM, good eatin’ !        

The Gazette continues to publish recipes from the “Gaston Cooks” Cookbook that was published some years back.

We have all tried things from this cook book and the link to the article brings back a few favorites.

Middle School Softball (Tuesday Results)     

 Belmont 11, Bessemer City 0 — Graylin Heustress (3-3), Lindsey Teague (2-3) and Lauren Owenby (triple) stood out while Emily Tucker struck out 10 for 1-0 Belmont.

Cramerton 12, Stanley 3 — Haley Caskey recorded three hits and Rachel Fort went 2-for-3 with a triple for the Eagles. Laura Anderson pitched a complete game for Cramerton (1-0).

Former students, teachers and friends of East Belmont met recently in the Life Center of Part Street United Methodist Church for a fundraising rally.

We can’t think of too many cool things to do sometimes. Neighbors from all over Belmont have taken on several preservation activities of the “old” Belmont. This project to erect a monument to the East Belmont School comes on the heels of the successful opening of the Belmont Historical Society, and the Reid Community’s annual festival.

When the discussion of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan was going on, the term “neighborhood preservation” was thrown about. These projects contribute to neighborhood preservation efforts and we feel they should be supported.

Get out and be active in your neighborhood. There are plenty of stories to share with us all, young and old, newcomers and natives.
