Caldwell County working on NCDOT signage for Madison Bumgarner and Eric Church

By Mark Jackson {Caldwell Journal}...On Monday, November 17, 2014 the Caldwell County Board of Commissioners adopted resolutions acknowledging Madison Bumgarner and Eric Church N.C. De-partment of Transportation signage for Caldwell County. The board will now seek the assistance of the N.C. Department of Transportation in erecting welcome signs at boundary lines in Caldwell County with “Home of Madison Bumgarner, 2014 World Series MVP” and “Home of Eric Church, Singer-Songwriter.” Chairman Bollinger did contact the N.C. Department of Transportation to inquire about the process of getting the welcome signs for our boundary limits on major highways in the County. “Most recently it was Chairman Bollinger who proposed the idea; however, several months to a year or so ago, Commissioner Barlowe mentioned recognition of Caldwell County natives, Eric Church and Madison Bumgarner.” Thank you to Kathy T. Greene (Clerk to the Board) for providing this information.

Don’t Do it Alone: Get a Quit Coach and Free Patches for Great American Smokeout

By the Caldwell County Health Department...There has never been a better time to quit smoking in North Carolina than the 2014 Great American Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, on November 20th. Any tobacco user who registers to quit with QuitlineNC on November 20th is eligible to receive eight weeks of free nicotine patches to help them quit for good. QuitlineNC, North Carolina’s telephone and online quit-smoking support service, is ready to help smokers – as well as other tobacco users – take advantage of this great opportunity by working with a Quit Coach. “The nicotine in tobacco is addictive and it can be difficult to quit,” said Anna Martin, Health Educa-tion Supervisor of Caldwell County Health Department. “The combination of coaching and nicotine replacement therapy of this special offer can be a lifeline to help more people in Caldwell County quit successfully.” A Quit Coach can help you plan to quit, offer tips and support, mail you materials, and be there for you every step of the way – whether you choose to quit for the Great American Smokeout or any time. Nico-tine replacement therapy, such as the patches, can also be a big help. “An expert Quit Coach has knowledge and tips that go way beyond the support you can get from a friend or coworker,” said Martin. “They can tell you about local quit smoking programs, sign you up for web coaching, and even call you back to check on your progress.

Spiced Beef Roll

Take 6 pounds of beef flank, Mix together thor-oughly: 3 tablespoonfuls of salt. 2 tablespoonfuls of brown sugar. 1 teaspoonful of pepper. 1 saltspoonful each of cloves and allspice.

Let it stand twenty-four hours in a cool place, then put in a saucepan and barely cover with boiling water and stew gently for four hours. Then dish, removing the strings, and thicken the gravy, which will have boiled down to a small quantity, with 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls of flour, according to the amount, rubbed smooth in cold water; let it boil up and serve separately. This is good cold, sliced, or it may be hashed, adding the remainder of the gravy.

Caldwell County Lions Club News…$1000 Granite Received

By Mark Jackson {Caldwell Journal}...The Hudson Lions Club held their regular meeting on Tuesday, November 11th at Captains Galley in Granite Falls. After that meeting, the Caldwell County Lions Association held its meeting where a $1000 grant from Bernhardt Furniture Foundation was presented. This grant will help the Lions Club to furnish glasses for people in need. Lions Club member Carl Wagner applied for this grant. The decline of membership to the Lions Club has become a big concern. Sadly, the Lenoir Lions Club and even the Hickory Lions Club are both non exis-tent. Caldwell County only has three Lions Clubs…Hudson with approximately 32 members, Granite Falls with approximately 14 members and Cajah Mountain with less than 10 members. These local Lions Club members provide our communities with invaluable support. If you are interested in becoming a member, don’t hesitate to join. Our local Lions Clubs are made up of very generous and dedicated citizens that have a passion to serve our community. New members are in great need… To show support for the Lions Club, consider purchasing a broom or ham, at the Caldwell County Habitat for Humanity ReStore located at 1216 Harper Avenue, Lenoir, Yesteryears Antiques, 538 Central Street, Hudson or at Granite Hard-ware, 107 North Main Street, Granite Falls.

Dr. Herb Says….Take These Steps To Health

The Outside May Tell You the Inside

Looking on the outside may tell you what is happening on the inside. For instance, your skin color can tell you many things about the inside of your body. Dark spots on the face, neck, hand and arms can indicate that the liver and pancreas are not working correctly. Yellow skin can mean a sick, toxic liver. A white pale skin may indicate a sluggish spleen and anemia. An ashy, pasty skin could mean cancer. White spots on the skin can be a B vitamin deficiency, while dark areas on the skin cam mean a Vitamin C deficiency. Along with color, the shape of your skin can tell you about your insides. Whistle lines around the mouth can be a B vitamin deficiency. Vertical lines between the eye brows can mean a below normal liver function, and mal-absorbing intestine. If the vertical lines appear in the earlobe, it may spell out heart trouble. Wrinkles on the forehead indicate too much stress, and low adrenal glands. Oily fore-head means too much protein eating. Your eyes could also let you know of things on the inside. Dark circles under the eyes may indicate digestive problems. Puffy eyes could mean a kidney problem. Squinting eyes could be a Vitamin A de-ficiency. Weak eyes can come from eating too much salt. Eye floaters can come from eating too much protein and a B-6 deficiency.

Hyssop (Whole Plant)

Botanical name: Hyssopus officinalis. Medicinal properties: aromatic, sudorific, pectoral, expecto-rant, febrifuge, anthelmintic, aperients. Hyssop is an old Bible remedy. David knew the benefits to be derived from its use. He drew the most wonderful lessons from it, which he used in showing the cleansing of the body from sin, for he said, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be whiter than snow.” (Psalm 51:7) Hyssop, in connection with the proper use of water and deep breathing, is a most wonderful body cleanser. It is valuable in quinsy, asthma, colds, la grippe, and all chest infections. Also loosens phlegm in the lungs and throat. Hyssop is excellent for children and infant’s diseases, such as sore throat and quinsy and can be applied as a compress and used as a gargle. In fevers, give a glassful every hour of a tea made by simmering a tablespoonful of the herb in a pint of boiling water for ten minutes. It will start perspiration, relieve the kidneys and bladder, and is slightly laxative. Hyssop increases the circulation of the blood and will reduce blood pressure. Excellent blood regulator and is a fine tonic when the sys-tem is in a weakened condition. It is excellent for scrofula, gravel, and various stomach troubles, jaun-dice, dropsy, and for the spleen. It has a splendid effect on the mucous lining of the stomach and bow-els. It is good for cough and shortness of breath and is also a fine remedy for epilepsy and fits in con-nection with other hygienic measures. It will expel worms. The leaves applied to inflammations and bruises remove the pain and discoloration. Effective for insect stings and bites and kills body lice. Soak the herb fifteen minutes in boiling water and place in a cloth for use a poultice. Hyssop is good intermittent fever and other fevers. Hyssop tea is an excellent remedy for eye trouble. It should be used in an eye cup. For general use, steep a heaping teaspoonful to a cup of boiling water for twenty minutes. Take from one to three cups a day, a large swallow at a time. Children less according to age.

Fasting

One or two days of fasting per week will do more good than all the medicine in the world. Many people take bunches of medicine and still have no relief from their symp-toms. A person who eats until ill should fast until well. Fasting is a wonderful, inexpen-sive benefit to your health. Just relax and rest and with no cost nature will do all the repairs necessary if you will only consent. Many people think that they cannot fast, they have to eat. Jesus never sinned, and He fasted. The first test given to Mankind, Adam and Eve, was about eating. The first temptation presented to Jesus was about eating. Moses fasted, Elijah fasted, David fasted, Daniel fasted, Paul fasted, if Adam and Eve had fasted that day, we would not be in this sinful mess we are in. Most regular drug doctors will tell you that fasting is starvation. Thinking that fasting is starvation reveals ignorance of the functions of the human body. Fasting is allowing the body to rest from continuously processing food, and catch up on elimination. Most people put more into the body than comes out. There is an accumulation of toxins in the body. Imagine over many years how many toxins get in the glands, joints, and all throughout the body. People are faithful to take showers, and clean the outside of the body, but seldom ever clean the inside. If you decide to fast, and it is a decision, mind over the body, who is boss your mind or your stomach? It is important that you do not put anything into your mouth until the fast is broken, but water. The first three days the body is adjusting and just getting used to the idea. Day four and onward, the body begins to clean the toxins out. The body will devour from one to one-half pounds of toxins per day. It begins with unwanted materials first such as tumors, pimples, cysts, etc. This is bloodless surgery. Then the body will begin to work on the adipose or fat deposits. This is where the over-weight person becomes happy. If you are one hundred percent faithful and do not even taste or chew on anything but water until your fast is finished, you will have success. In other words, do not cheat. Your body is either processing food, or cleaning itself. If you continuously eat, it is continuously processing food, and never gets a chance to cleanse itself. Fasting can bring about healing and weight loss, whichever is needed. When fasting, your body now has no food to process, so it gets busy with the long-over-due house cleaning. This throws a lot of toxic materials out of the cells into the blood stream. In the beginning you may experience headache, dizziness and weakness. This is not from the lack of food but from the toxic blood. If you do not let this get you down, and continue, in about one week or ten days you will feel better than you have ever felt before. The largest part of cleansing has passed by and you feel great.

One Day Fast

Fasting is really good for you. It allows the body to rest from processing food, and the body can do some cleaning on the inside. One day is easy. If you get hungry, your mind is in charge, not your stomach. A one day fast is a total of 36 hours. You go from afternoon when you start, until the morning following the day after the day you started, without eating. During the time you fast, drink plenty of fluids, so your body will have liquids to remove toxin. Take one gallon of water, drink out of it 10oz. Put in the gallon of water 8 oz. cherry concentrate, 8 oz. lemon juice, 8 oz. pomegranate concentrate, or 8 oz. Elderberry concentrate and one heaping tablespoon of cayenne pepper. Shake and mix it up each time before you drink any of it. All day, drink some of the mix every time you feel like you want something to eat or drink. If you want extra to drink, drink all the water you want. Do not eat extra before the fast, and take it easy eating coming off the fast. Be sure and drink all of the mix. Anybody can do a one day fast. Do it one day each week.

Do You Lap Or Sip Your Water?

Animals that eat meat lap water with their tongue. Animals that do not eat meat, but only vegetation, sip their water. How do you drink water, do you lap it or sip it? Some people have been told that they have to eat meat to make them strong. Meat actually takes away your energy in order to digest it. One time, two colleges were contesting meat eaters against vegetarians for endurance. The meat eaters could hold their arms out from the shoulders for fifteen minutes, while some vegetarians endured up to an hour. In comparing medical records of meat eaters to vegetarians, meat eaters have more and sooner joint problems. They have more cancer. They have more heart attacks. The average life span of a meat eater to a vegetarian is fif-teen years less. People have been misinformed that they have to have meat to get their protein. A pound of lentils has more protein than a pound of meat. Nuts, seeds, beans, greens are all good sources of protein. Meat, nor anything animal has no fiber. Fiber is important to help you stay regular and clean toxins from your body. How can meat be eaten without taking the life of some animal? The original diet that God gave us was “every herb bearing seed.” If you are going to eat meat do like the other ani-mals, and lap your water.

Apple A Day

There are more than 1400 varieties of apples. Apples will help constipation and diarrhea. Apples taste good. Apples are good infection fighters. Apples are good to use to combat flu and colds. Apples are good to prevent tooth decay. Apples are good liver cleansers. Apples are high in pectin fiber, which helps maintain proper cholesterol levels. Apples are good to keep a healthy gall-bladder. Apple Vinegar is good for burns, itching, dandruff, body odor, and foot fungus. Apples are good to curb the appetite. Apples are good for energy. Now, you are not supposed to snack in between meals, but if you do, and do not get a habit doing it, just once in a while, then apples are good for snacks; and, also berries and melons. Do not eat anything at night. Eat the whole apple, peeing, and seeds, all but the stem. Apples are good to kick the smoking habit. Eat the apple instead of lighting up a cigar.

Mr. Cabbage & Family

Cabbage and its family are good foods for you to eat. The cabbage family includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red, green, Savoy cabbage, cauliflower, collards and kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, and white mustard. Cabbage and its family can help you to be healthy and not have can-cer. Research has shown that they contain sulfur and histidine, and choline and inosotol which inhibit the growth of tumors and cancer in the colon area. Cabbage juice has been used to heal ulcers in the stomach. Cabbage and its family will lower bad cholesterol, which can cause harden-ing of the arteries. So, people who eat, on a regular diet, cabbage and its family, can help prevent cancer, and circulation problems. Cabbage, and its family helps increase waste elimination move-ments. Studies have shown that people who eat more cabbage have less yeast problems, and women had less PMS occurrence. Cabbage is a good source of antioxidant vitamins. Antioxidants help slow aging, and prevent deterioration of the body. Cabbage and family have nutrients to help build the body and cleanse the blood. Cabbage and family is a good source of iron tonic for those who need to build their blood. Besides main minerals, such as calcium and iron, they are a good source of trace minerals; a good one is sulphur, which helps improvement of the skin. It is better to eat cabbage and its family raw. All of them taste good, and are very nourishing.

Tough Playoff Loss Ends SCHS Football Season

By Freelance Sports Writer Dan O’Neal… It was a blustery, frigid evening at Spartan Stadium, as the #4 Spartans faced the #13 Spartans in the first round of the small 4A state football playoffs. Number four would be the South Caldwell Spartans taking on number the thirteen Mount Tabor Spartans from Winston-Salem.

South is coming off the regular season with a 9-2 record while Mount Tabor from the Central Pied-mont 4A Conference finished with a 7-4 record. Mount Tabor has been a regular in the small 4A play-offs for a lot of years and always proves to be a great challenge for any opponent.

Sadly, for the hometown Spartans, it would be a very cold evening as they were overwhelmed by the visiting Spartans by the count of 47-0. Mount Tabor had 542 yards of total offense and 16 first downs while South could only account for 138 and 5 first downs. Mount Tabor putting eleven men in the box had much to do with South's inability to move the football.

It was even more difficult when on the opening kickoff, senior linebacker Kurt Waibel went down with an injury and was only in on one play from scrimmage. As well, Mount Tabor quarterback Graham Mor-ton completed 13 of 22 passes for 275 yards and four touchdowns. Tabor tailback James Antoine was quite the highlight reel as he gained 241 yards of rushing and receiving along with five of their scores.

The hometown Spartans certainly played hard and gave one-hundred percent for four quarters on both sides of the football. Filling in for starting quarterback Gavin Reed, Butter Weaver made some de-cent plays on offense. One of those was a 47 yard pass to Noah Bradshaw in the third period. Landon Dickerson, a mid-season transfer, made two tackles for losses on the defensive side, while Miller Kirkpatrick, Garrison Drum, and Weaver were in on several tackles.

"It was a tough loss right out of the gate. Mount Tabor with their defense took us out of our offensive rhythm. Our guys kept fighting and I am very proud of their effort" commented Coach Butch Carter.

Even though this is not how South Caldwell desired to complete their season, it can be said that the hometown Spartans had an outstanding year. Kudos to South Caldwell coaching staff for their excellent body of work in 2014. Double kudos to the varsity players who accomplished many great achievements this season.

New Farm Road Completion Date Still Up In The Air

By Mark Jackson {Caldwell Journal}...The NCDOT is encouraging the contractor to complete the final pavement layer & subsequently the pavement markings prior to the first of the New Year. This pro-jection will be totally contingent on receiving enough favorable weather days for paving. If the weather does not permit the completion of paving yet this year, the revised completion date is projected to be during April of 2015. Road paving is actually halted from December 15 to March 15 yearly so it appears the contractor has less than a month to finish up this project or the project will be held over until next spring. This project actually began on 3/26/2012 with the original com-pletion date of 9/15/2013. We were told that all of the rain that we received in 2013 was a factor in slowing this project as well as some engineering issues with the bridge on the road. The New Farm Road is the Grace Chapel Road connector road to HWY 321 at Wal-Mart in Granite Falls.

Pleasant Hill Baptist Church

Home

Home is mentioned (51) times throughout the Bi-ble so it must be important. Various definitions describe home but your personal view of home is all that really matters.

What does home mean to you?

Home is the place where your faults are known by all and yet you are accepted as part of the family. Home is the place that your mistakes are not mag-nified to the public eye. Home is the place where your vision and dreams are discussed in the atmosphere of hope and faith. Home is the place where you can drop the mask of hypocrisy and simply be yourself without the fear of judgment. At home you matter! A house welcomes visitors out of duty and obliga-tion. A home invites visitors in by its warmth and charm; one feels comfortable in a home the mo-ment of entry. A house contains the spirit of construction left by its numerous builders and personnel. A home arrests the spirit of love, joy and security that’s difficult to leave. So let’s celebrate Home today; kick your shoes off and relax for a while, enjoy each other without fear or friction.

We invite you to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church at 699 Pleasant Hill Road in Lenoir. Call 828-726-6564 for more information.

God Bless You, Pastor John Gray
