GRAHAM

A Tribute to Uncle John Bennet Cooper

*Note: This story is long so it will be published over the next few weeks. Also this is typed exactly like it is written.

He told me much about his young life, his dreams of the future, the trouble that sent him to prison, the mockings and slanderous things people had said about him; and the live-stock while he was in pris-on. Many times John would begin crusing in loud tones. I spent part of my young life in the area where John came to get food. I never had any desire to molest or see him run. I was hunting one day along an old wagon road in the mountains. I heard John coning towards me. He was talking loud to his own self. I ran out of the road into heavy weeds and loaded my shotgun and

as John passed by me I shot high over his head. He started running at full speed. I then followed him to where the road forded the creek. John had splashed water out on dry ground I supose 4 feet. He was real-ly running. In 1932 God saved me. I became a deti-cated Christian praying and believing. Then I was so sorry because that I had shot over Johns head. I begin praying for John and hoping I could mend all the mean things I had done in life but found I could be hid from satan behind a curtain of Christs blood where satan could not find me and cause me to be a moonshiner, rouge, liar and lawbreaker like I was until I was 21 years old.

*To be continued next week.

Washington, D.C.—Today, Rep. Heath Shuler (D-Waynesville) became a member of the newly-created Buy American Caucus. In just the past three years nearly 2 million American manufactur-ing jobs have been lost to over-seas companies. The Buy American Caucus will give both Republican and Democratic Members of Congress a plat-form to work together to make laws that will help American manufacturers and promote American products.

“Unfair trade agreements have closed too many American factories and sent thousands of

good-paying jobs overseas,” said Rep. Shuler. “One of the reasons I was inspired to run for Congress in 2006 was to protect the jobs of hardworking Americans. I’m confident that this Caucus will be able to cre-ate some common-sense, bipar-tisan legislation to create and sustain jobs.”

There are a number of exist-ing laws, such as the Buy American Act, designed to ensure that American procure-ment dollars are spent on American products. By oblig-ing the federal government to prioritize the purchase of American products, the law is

meant to support U.S. manufac-turers. However, it has been on

few updates to reflect modern times. Too many federal agen-cies have found loopholes that have led to the consequence of U.S. companies experiencing difficulty when competing for federal contracts.

“There is no reason that the federal government should be spending taxpayer dollars on goods made in other countries when American manufacturers can make products that are as good or better and sustain jobs

KNOXVILLE , Tennessee – April 13, 2010 – The new Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. had a star-studded weekend-long Grand Opening hosted by Regis Philbin this weekend. The event also featured numerous descen-dants and family members of those on board the Titanic and included a christening of the ship by Captain Edward J. Smith.

The weekend-long Grand Opening Celebration at the new Titanic Museum Attraction included the christening, a spe-cial Grand Opening ceremony hosted by Philbin, a free con-cert by country music legend

Neal McCoy, a free concert by Beatles cover band Liverpool Legends (hand-picked and man-aged by George Harrison’s sis-ter), amazing nightly fireworks displays and special events and performances over a three day period.

More than 20,000 guests from all parts of the nation vis-ited the attraction during its opening weekend. During the free evening concerts with Neal McCoy and , standing room only crowds overflowed onto the sidewalks and nearby prop-erties. Traffic on the well-trav-eled Parkway through Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains National

Park came to a halt once the

display lit the night sky for miles around.

Titanic Museum Attraction is a half-scale, permanent, three-deck recreation of the Titanic . The museum houses 20 galler-ies to display nearly 400 authen-tic, priceless Titanic artifacts that were either carried from the ship and into lifeboats by pas-sengers and crew, or were found afloat soon after the sinking and quickly salvaged by rescue boats.

Inside the Titanic Museum Attraction, visitors find full-size recreations (built to actual Titanic blueprints) of Third-

Class quarters, a First-Class suite, dining rooms and – the museum’s centerpiece – a $1 million exact reproduction of the Titanic ’s Grand Staircase. The First-Class suite in the Titanic Museum Attraction, which is dedicated to Isidor and Ida Straus who co-owned Macy’s Department Stores, was also the cabin used in James Cameron’s blockbust-er movie Titanic as Rose’s suite.

In addition to being a world class museum in the truest sense of the word, Titanic Museum

Local High School Student to Get Unique Look at U.S. Naval Academy While Attending Fast-Paced Summer Seminar

Annapolis, Md-The U.S. Naval Academy(USNA) invit-ed a select group of approxi-

women from around the nation

and internationally to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar program this year. Summer Seminar is a fast-paced experience for high achievers who have completed their junior year in high school and are considering applying for admission to USNA after graduation.

Zack Pennington, a student at Robbinsville High School in Robbinsville, NC, will partici-pate in the 2010 U.S. Naval Academy Summer Seminar program.

Summer Seminar teaches prospective applicants about life at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training play equally important roles in

developing our nation's lead-ers. Each student will a six-day session and experience a part of USNA life. Students in the program live in Bancroft Hall(the dormitory in which all USNA midshipmen live), eat in the dining hall, participate in academic and leadership work-shops and participate in daily physical training involving group runs and conditioning exercies. They will have an opportunity to see first-hand what the Naval Academy has to offer through its exceptional academic, athletic, extracurric-ular activities and leadership training programs.

NEW HOLLAND, PA. – Money-conscious homeowners are constantly seeking out ways to reduce their energy bills. Those consumers fortunate enough to be considering a new home purchase have a way of potentially saving up

home simply by constructing with the right foundation system.

“Homeowners should be actively involved in the product decisions that go into their new home construction,” says Jim Costello, president of Superior Walls®. “Consumers can build value from the bottom up in their new homes by using energy-effi-cient foundation systems. The steel-reinforced concrete panels created by Superior Walls are matched up in the manufacturing process with DOW® Styrofoam™ boards, which provide excellent rigid foam insulation. The resulting Xi™ wall panels provide an excep-tionally energy efficient foundation for a home.

“According to the publication ‘ Native Power – A Handbook on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for Native American Communities,’ an uninsulated base-ment can account for one-third of

the total heat loss in a home. This study, funded in part by the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Department of Energy and the Office of Utility Technologies, illustrates the tremendous value homeowners can achieve by shun-ning unheated basements and crawlspaces in favor of installing energy-efficient foundation pan-els.”

A separate “ Residential Foundation Insulation” report issued in 2000 by Kansas State University with support of the U.S. Department of Energy, suggests that the benefits of foundation insu-lation are often overlooked. According to the report, “heat loss from an uninsulated, conditioned

percent of a home’s total heat loss in a tightly sealed, well-insulated home.”

Superior Walls insulated pre-cast concrete wall systems have earned the Green Approved Product designation by the NAHB Research Center. Builders choosing to use

Jamie McMurray, driver of the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing #1 Chevy, is one of several NASCAR Sprint Cup series drivers that appear in the 2010 NASCAR Day

commercial, which encourages fans to ‘get their pin on’ to show they are a champion for children. McMurray is a long-time supporter of children’s programs through the Jamie McMurray Foundation and other charitable endeavors.

“It’s great to be able to partici-pate in a charitable program like this that has a proven record of helping children in need,” said McMurray. “I feel lucky to be in a position that enables me to help others and I urge fans to participate in the program by wearing their NASCAR Day pin on May 21st.”

Presenting Donors May Enter A Drawing To Win A Cruise For Two

Graham County The sum-mer season is always the most relaxing and fun – sun, sand and plenty of smiles. What many don’t realize is that during the busy summer season, blood donations often decline due to vacation and summer activities, while the need for blood remains con-stant. The American Red Cross is asking donors to “Cruise Into Summer” by donating blood or platelets.

The campaign, which

runs from April 1 to June 30, 2010, gives each person who presents to donate blood or platelets with the Red Cross an opportunity to enter a drawing for the chance to

win a cruise for two. By donating early in the season, blood donors can donate two or more times during the summer months, helping ensure blood is available for patients throughout this criti-cal time.

American Red Cross pro-vides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and plate-lets each weekday to meet patient needs.

Blood can be safely donated every 56 days. Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet height and weight require-ments.

Rep. Shuler also recently co-sponsored the Patriot Corporations of America Act, H.R. 1874, which will encour-age businesses to invest in local communities and create jobs in the United States. Companies that produce at least 90% of their goods and services domes-tically, spend at least 50% of their research and development

dollars in the United States, and comply with other good corpo-rate practices would receive pri-ority for government contracts and a 5 percent reduction in their taxable income.

Rep. Shuler commented, “Now more than ever, it’s time to put our money where our mouth is, literally, and find ways to reward and support our U.S. manufacturers and get these jobs back on American soil.”

academic focus, with each stu-dent attending eight 90-minute workshops, covering subjects from information technology, naval architecture and mechani-cal engineering, to oceanogra-phy, mathematics, history and meterology. Students will also participate in seamanship and navigation classes and will take an actual cruise aboard a Navy Yard Patrol(YP) Craft to apply what they will learn in class. N a v a l A c a d e m y students(midshipmen) run Summer Seminar with oversight by active-duty Navy and Marine Corps officers.

Founded in 1845, the Naval Academy is a highly competi-tive four-year undergraduate institution that prepares young men and women morally, men-tally and physically to become officers in the Navy or Marine

Corps. Upon graduation, Naval Academy midshipmen recieve a Bachelor of Science degree in one of 22 majors and a commis-sion as ensigns in the U.S. Navy or second lieutenants in the U.S. Marine Corps. In return, these young officers will serve at least five years of exciting and rewarding service of the nation.

points on a project toward a National Green Building Certification.

At Superior Walls, Xi wall panels are constructed with a con-crete face shell, backed by 2-1/2-inches of DOW extruded polysty-rene insulation. In addition, the steel reinforced concrete walls cre-ate a permanent barrier against sidewall water penetration, making the home damp proof.

Each Superior Walls panel is custom made to the specifications of an individual home, including built-in openings for windows and doors. Pre-engineered access for wiring or small plumbing elements

along with smart stud facing for easy drywall installation are includ-ed and help speed up the installa-tion process. Foundation systems generally install in a day or less by certified installation crews, making it possible for builders to begin construction within 24 hours.

The pre-cast insulated founda-tion systems provided by Superior Walls help homeowners save on energy bills and allow them to fully utilize their basement space as functioning and comfortable living areas in the home.

I would also draw your atten-tion to several provisions of the law that would directly address some of the frequent health insur-ance complaints my Consumer Protection Division gets from everyday North CarOlinians.

The new law will prohibit health insurance companies from refusing to insure people based on preexisting health conditions, as they often do now. It would also

prevent insurance companies from removing people from health care insurance policies after they suffer a serious illness or accident. These are important protections for peo-ple who have suffered from unfair health insurance provisions and It is feared that these protections may be repealed In the unlikely event “the lawsuit succeeds.

Problems with health insur-ance and health care have led the list of consumer complaints in our office for the past five years. Instead of court fights and exagger-ated rhetoric from both sides, it Is my hope that state and federal lead-ers will focus on the real health care challenges people face every day.

My office will continue to carefully monitor this case and review the Issues that arise, and please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.

With kind regards, I am Very truly yours,

Dear Editor,

lives in Cheoch trailer park and

I have been up here visiting her.

totaled my car in a hole at the

end of the street coming on to

day and the hole was filled with

water. I was not aware of the

hole there so my car went down

in the hole into the water. I have

been told by several people that

there have been problems with

the holes and ditches. No one

seems to get the problems fixed.

In my opinion, the town of

Robbinsville should put warn-

ing signs or barriers around the

hole as a warning of the danger.

My concern is a small child

could fall into this hole and get

hurt or even drown when it is

full of water. Why can’t some-

thing be done about these prob-

lems? Who should be responsi-

ble for getting something done

about this?

It seems to me that in some ways modern Christianity has lowered it’s standard below what the Bible says.

We often hear about three words, in regard to becoming a Christian. These three words are “admit, believe and receive.” We are told to admit that we are sinners since Romans 3:23 says “all have sinned.” We are told to believe in Jesus according to John 3:16 and receive the free gift of eternal life according to Romans 6:23. That is all true, but let’s look further.

The Bible also tells us to

repent. As Peter preached at Pentecost in Acts 3:19 he says, “Repent therefore and be con-verted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Some admit they are sinners, but never repent. We are also told to sur-render to Jesus as Lord. Romans 10:9 says, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Some believe that Jesus existed and physically died on a cross, but have never surrendered to Him as Lord.

I recently heard a pastor talk about being “In Him.” 2Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” I would like to ask a couple more questions that go with this idea but also go beyond this.

If we are “In Him,” are we also following Him and are we

pleasing Him? These concepts are often left out these days. John 10:4 says, “And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.” Matthew 16:24 says, “Then Jesus said to His disci-ples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and fol-low Me.’” Back then He was calling and today He is calling us to “Follow Him.”

Is it our sincere ongoing desire to please Him? 2Corin-thians 5:9 says, “Therefore we make it our aim, whether pres-ent or absent, to be well pleas-ing to Him.” 2Timothy 2:4 says, “No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.”

Let’s be sure that we admit, believe and receive. Let’s also be sure that we repent and sur-render. Let’s also ask the ques-tions, not of others, but of our-selves, “Are we following Him, and are we pleasing Him?”

A Very Special Thank YouWords cannot express our grateful appreciation for every act of kindness shown during the

sickness and loss of our precious wife and mother. For every card, call, visit, flower, gift, and food we thank you. Most of all we want to express our sincere thanks for each prayer. It is in a

difficult time like this that friends and family become so special, but it is our faith in Jesus Christ that gives us the strength to carry on.

A special thanks to Sam Hayes, Gary Crisp, and Josh Stewart for being there for the family at the hospital and for the touching words at the service. Also, thanks to each group of singers at the service, Michael Rattler,

the EMS, Townson-Smith Funeral Home, and to all who helped us; we were overwhelmed by your love and caring acts.Lucille was a special lady and will be remembered by her

meek and gentle nature. She never realized how many lives she touched with her quiet but loving ways. She was a beloved wife, mother, mamaw, sister, and friend, and her memory will live for-

ever in our hearts. Please continue to remember us in your thoughts and prayers. Again, thank you and may God richly bless

each of you.
