Caldwell Crisis Agencies Shift Services

The Executive Committees of two Caldwell County emergency crisis assistance agencies met this past Tuesday evening and made a joint deci-sion that will make the path to assistance easier for families in need. Both agencies are major distribu-tion agencies for food, clothing, and financial emergency assistance for Caldwell County families in crisis. South Caldwell Christian Ministries and Caldwell County Yokefellow officers met at Yoke-fellow and discussed the current division of their respective service areas and the proposed shift. Currently, in some defined service areas, families on one side of the street are served by SCCM and families on the other side of the street are being served by Yokefellow. Effective Monday, September 15, 2014 a household’s zip code or township will determine which agency will provide emergency services. Hudson 28638, Granite Falls 28630, and Rhodhiss 28667 will be served by South Caldwell Christian Ministry. Lenoir 28645, Collettsville 28611 and Patterson 28661 will be served by Yokefellow. Deborah Thomas of SCCM stated, “Our hope is that this rezoning of service areas will make referrals much easier for partner agencies, as well as make it easier for families in need to decide where they need to go for crisis in-tervention.” Sharon Osborne, Executive Director of Yokefellow added “We look forward to sharing this information with our community part-ners. Our currently defined service areas are con-fusing, resulting in clients often being sent to the wrong agency. Families in crisis need our assis-tance and attention, not extra driving that they can ill afford.” Any member church, community ser-vice partner, or family in need can contact SCCM at 396-4000 and Yokefellow at 754-7088 for more information.”

Granite Falls Journal To Become The Caldwell Journal Will Begin Providing News From All Over Caldwell County…

We have decided to change our name from "Granite Falls Journal" to "Caldwell Jour-nal" due to our new emphasis on providing news from all over Caldwell County. This expansion will be a large undertaking for us but we are ready to forge ahead. We are very excited to see what is going on in every corner of Caldwell County from Lake Hickory to Blowing Rock and share it with our readers…while still being based out of our hometown of Granite Falls. For the past five years we have enjoyed getting to know the people in the commu-nity. We have shared many good news stories, made many new friends and business partners. We want to spread what we have shared with the entire county. We have done all of this with a very small staff. The staff consists of the husband and wife team of Mark and Merri Lee Jackson. While Mark spends most of his time working on the paper…you will find Merri Lee working as an Interventionist/Bus Driver at Granite Falls Elementary School, Assistant Director for the Sims Country Cloggers and the rest of her time working on the paper. However we cannot take all of the credit. We would not be this successful without our faithful advertisers, loyal readers and the countless people that have shared stories, ideas, local events and encouragement with us. Please always feel free to send us your “Good News” which includes news, event infor-mation, Church happenings, human interest stories, school news, business news, Town news, Police Department news, Fire Department news, photos, etc. You'll find us eagerly offering the same content that you have become accustomed to.…just to a larger area! More details to follow… On October 1, 2014, we become the Caldwell Journal. Thank You - Mark & Merri Lee Jackson Contact us at: [email protected]

Tracking Wildlife Responses to Fire Restoration in Southern Appalachia By Lisa Jennings, Natural Resource Specialist, U.S. Forest Service National Forests in North Carolina

September 2014…It was my first prescribed burn. After weeks of training, and months of anticipation, I was finally on the ground – drip torch in hand – ready to apply fire to restore the mixed pine-hardwood forests at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the Grandfather Ranger District of Pisgah National Forest. Joining the forest service only two months earlier, I had a mainly academic knowledge of fire’s effect on plant and wildlife communi-ties. As the coordinator for the Grandfather Restoration Project, part of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program, I had to come up to speed with the on-the-ground reality of prescribed fire use quickly. In the Forest Service’s Southern Region, prescribed fire is a key tool for management and restoration of fire-dependent eco-systems. The Grandfather Ranger District, with its south-facing piney slopes, has a historic fire return interval of 5-7 years. Today, the return interval is ten-fold the historic record, averaging 50-70 years across the district. As I lit the fire that early March morning, igniting the thick leaf litter and dense shrubs that accumulated with years of fire suppression, I couldn’t help but wonder – What happens to the wildlife after the fire? Replacing the fuels with scorched earth is unnerving to those who are not familiar with fire as a restoration tool, with the after-math often being likened to a “moon-scape.” The reality is much different. Just as certain plants need fire to suc-ceed, the animals that depend on those species benefit from fire as well. “Prescribed fire burns at varying intensities across the landscape, creating abundant soft mast, grasses and forbs, a reduced shrub layer, and small canopy gaps,” said Pisgah National Forest Wildlife Biologist Chris Williams. “These conditions provide foraging, nest-ing, and escape cover for a variety of game and non-game terrestrial wildlife” With the evolving use of prescribed fire as a tool for restoration, it is critical to study the effects of fire on the communities we are looking to restore. Traditional fire studies often focus on vegetation. The participants in the Grandfather Restoration Project decided take it one step further – to directly study wildlife use in sites that are treated with prescribed fire compared with untreated sites. Working col-laboratively, wildlife specialists from Pisgah National Forest, the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, and The Nature Conservancy designed a cutting-edge study using wildlife cameras. Re-entering the prescribed burn unit just four months after the fire, wildlife cameras in tow, I could see the changes in vegetation. From a so-called “moon-scape” just after the burn, a lush herbaceous layer had appeared, carpeting the forest with blueberries and grasses. Using 50 camera points over a six-week period in July and August, we were able to study which wildlife species are using our forests, and what habitats they prefer. “I was very encouraged by the effects of the burn,” Williams said. “While the results of the study have not been fully analyzed, the photos can provide land managers with population estimates and predator-prey ratios.” Early data indicates a higher use of the burn unit by wildlife when compared to the unburned unit. More solid results will be available as the data is analyzed over the next several months.

Foothills Performing Arts Presents “Losing Patients”

“A violent thunderstorm rages, a drug dealer is on the loose, the police comb the area for an es-caped mental patient, and in the middle of it all sits stately Silver Crest Manor. Outside a seemingly placid place; but on the inside, it’s a setting for a devious plot masterminded by a trio of greedy scoundrels.” Hilarity abounds amidst the confu-sion as patients disappear, identities are mistaken, and double dealing is revealed in the opening pro-duction for Foothills Performing Arts 39th Season. We start the season by paying tribute to playwright V. Cate. Ms. Cate and her son, Duke Ernsberger wrote several plays before her death last year. This hilarious production is directed by Marshall Goff. Jane Lucas is the Stage Manager and Tony Hendrix is the Technical Director. Published by Baker Plays this production is rated PG-13. Performance dates are September 12-14 & 19-21, 2014. Friday and Saturday performances are held at 8:00pm and Sunday matinees will be at 3:00pm. The box office opens 1 hour before each show. Ticket prices are Adult - $10.00, Senior (55 and older) - $8.00, and Student and Children - $6.00. Groups of 10 or more are priced at $6.00 each. Season Tickets are available. The Season Pass includes 5 performances at FPA for $35.00. Be-sides Losing Patients our upcoming Season in-cludes: Defiance by John Patrick Shanley; Almost Maine by John Cariani; The Battle of Shallowford by Ed Simpson; and God’s Man In Texas by David Rambo. Our Combo Season Ticket includes the 5 performances at FPA and Beautiful Star: An Appa-lachian Nativity performed at the JE Broyhill Civic Center featuring the band Strictly Clean and De-cent in in December.

Dr. Herb Says….Take These Steps To Health

Oats

God gave us a grain called “Oat.” It is very soft, tasty and can even be eaten raw. The whole grain is called groats. The groats is rolled is rolled and flattened out, and called rolled oats or oatmeal. Oatmeal is the most popular way the people eat it. It is also chopped up into little pieces called steel cut oats. The bran around the grain is also eaten and is good and healthy. Even the stem or straw of the oat is healthy and good to drink as a tea. Oats are good and healthy. Most people eat oats at breakfast, but can match the body’s enzyme activity better if eaten at lunch or afternoon. Oat is a good energy food. It helps lower bad cho-lesterol, low-density lipoproteins and raise good cholesterol and high-density lipoproteins. Oat is a good food for heart and circulation, and health in general. Oats are good to help break the smoking habit. Do not “light up:” chew a few oats!

Turnip

The turnip roots and greens are healthy to eat. They are valuable for both ends of the body. They help improve bowel elimination and help improve lung performance. Eaten raw they are good for the teeth and gums. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins, Vi-tamin C, Vitamin A, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and iron. They have helped persons with anemia, obesity, high blood pressure, bronchi-tis, asthma, liver problems, digestive problems, gout, and gall bladder disorders. They help with reducing parasitic, bacterial, and toxic condi-tions from the body. Turnips and their greens can be eaten raw, and are good by themselves or mixed with other vegetables into a salad. Turnips are easy to grow and harvest. Turnips are just another example of the good foods that God has blessed us with.

Pumpkin

The pumpkin is another good and nutritious food that God blessed us with. The pumpkin is a good source of Vitamin A, B-complex, and Vitamin C, carbo-hydrates for energy, calcium, iron, and phosphorus. It also contains potassium to help prevent and/or correct abnormal accumulations of fluid in cavities of the body. Pumpkin is good to help correct Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), stomach ulcers and hemorrhoids. For people who have high or low blood pres-sure, pumpkin will help normalize blood pressure. Pumpkin, because it is very nutritious will help nourish all parts of the body. Even the pumpkin seeds are good and nutritious to eat. Do not eat them all, save some to replant next year. Pumpkin seeds are very tasty, and a good source of protein to eat at breakfast with fruit. Pumpkin seeds are very high in phosphorus and calories which will give you stamina and energy throughout the day.

Banana Peels

Most of the time people just throw the banana peel away, but need to be careful not to throw it down where someone will slip on it and fall. However, banana peels have some good benefits. Green banana peels can be grated up and put on many skin conditions such as skin cancer, eczema, psoriasis, lesions, boils, ulcers, wrinkles, blemishes and itching. Ripe banana peels can be applied to any part of the body on the outside where there is pain on the inside. Wrapping your head and neck in banana peels can relieve headache and neck pain….even migraines. Put the inside of the peel next to your body for quick high blood pressure relief. Blend one strip of a green banana peel in 4 ounces of pineapple juice and drink it. Ripe banana peels are good to relieve burns and sunburns. For a good diarrhea relief, blend one strip of a green banana peel with 4 ounces of water and one half cup blackberries and drink it. Banana peels can also be used to shine your shoes.

Seeds

Studies have shown that seeds are good to prevent some of the serious diseases and problems affecting mankind. At New York University of Medicine, mice were in-jected with cancer cells. Some mice were fed and some were not. The mice that were not fed seeds rapidly got cancer. However, the mice that were fed seeds showed a prevention of the growth of cancer due to the enzymes in the seeds. The number one disease is heart disease. Experiments on heart disease have shown that eating seeds improved heart conditions by lowering blood serum choles-terol and fatty plague on the artery walls of the heart. Seeds have also been found to improve brain function. Seeds help the circulation to the brain clogged with clumps of thick blood and bacteria caused from eating animal. Studies have shown seeds to improve eye function. Seeds should be about one half of our protein intake and only eaten in the morning. Remember beans are seeds. Seeds have life in them. Animal protein is dead food. Enjoy pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds.

Mullein

Mullein is a plenteous herb. It grows from the Atlantic to the Pacific in fields, pas-tures, and on road banks. It looks like a tobacco plant and can grow as large as a person. It is a light green color with yellow flowers and fuzzy leaves. It is a good herb for breathing problems such as asthma, bronchitis, coughing, emphysema, shortness of breath and mucous. It is also a good herb for heart problems, palpita-tions, irregular heartbeat, angina, high blood pressure. Mullein is a good herb for infections in the lungs, kidneys, and intestines because it removes the matter in which the infectious bacteria are thriving. Mullein is a mild, safe herb. It’s excel-lent to use for childhood diseases such as chickenpox, measles, mumps, tonsillitis, and whooping cough. It is an excellent herb for sore throat and earache. It is a good herb to support the adrenal glands for energy and a good pancreas nourishing herb.

M-T 7 to 6

Fri 7 to 5






Nuts

Nuts are coming in. They are a good food to collect and last all through the winter. Al-monds are tasty and nourish the muscles and body building. The content of calcium in almonds makes them valuable for teeth and bones. Now, God is good. He did not give us just one nut; He gave us a whole bunch of nuts to eat. Nuts will not make you fat. The Brazil nut is a good source of potassium and phosphorus to help your energy throughout the day. All nuts have B-vitamins, protein, and minerals. Cashew nuts are good for teeth and gums, vitality and depression. It is better to eat nuts raw. Nuts are also a good source of oil and fiber that we all need for lubrication and elimination. The best time to eat nuts is in the morning with breakfast.

Fiber

Fiber is the part of food that passes through the body undigested. It absorbs, cleans, and removes toxins as it goes through. Fiber does not have any nutrients. It helps to keep waste flowing through and out of the body. Fiber is only found in a vegetation diet. A good diet should consist of thirty grams of fiber a day, or about on ounce. Adding fiber to the diet has helped people with blood sugar problems, cholesterol, heart, gall bladder, and many less serious problems such as skin conditions, allergies, and headaches. Most peo-ple are eating a high fat, high protein diet, with low fiber, which is causing many health problems. Toxins, parasites, yeast, bacteria, can settle in the intestinal tract when a per-son has a low fiber intake. The colon is related to all body systems and can cause diseases in the body if not kept clean with fiber. Fiber is like a washcloth going through the colon. If your diet is high in complex carbohydrates, which is high in fiber, you will have less sickness, if it is high in proteins, especially animal, less fiber, the more bacteria, more sickness.

1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17 “For the Lord him-

self shall descend from heaven with a shout,

with the voice of the archangel, and the trump

of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

Then we which are alive and remain shall be

caught up together with them in the clouds, to

meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be

with the Lord.”

Amid the reeling of the Earth, the flash of light-

ning, and the roar of thunder, the voice of Jesus

will call forth the sleeping saints. Jesus will

look upon the graves of the righteous, then,

raising His hands to Heaven, He will shout,

Awake, awake, awake, you that sleep in the

dust, and arise! His voice will be heard world-

wide. Throughout the length and breath of the

earth, those who died in Christ, will hear Jesus’

voice, and come forth with eternal life. The

whole earth will ring with the tread of the ex-

ceeding great army of Saints, from every nation,

kindred, tongue and people. From the prison

house of death, from North, South, East and

West, those who died with Christ’ character, will

come forth with immortal glory. They will

shout, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave,

where is thy victory?” The living righteous, and

the risen Saints, will unite their voices in a long,

glad shout of victory.

Foothills Performing Arts will hold open audi-tions for Defiance a drama written by John Patrick Shanley, on Monday & Tuesday, September 15 &16, 2014 at the FPA Theatre on the campus of CCC & TI in Bldg. B at 7:00 pm. Parts are available for five (5) men and one (1) woman. Auditions will be a cold read and a monologue is not required.

Also, choosing the prescribed path will have catastrophic effects on the well-ordered lives of two individuals. Set in the United States Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in 1971, the battalion commander and his newly appointed executive officer are expected to turn the tide of mounting anxiety of the civil rights movement and racial unrest.

Be Safe During Hunting Season

By the USDA...The deer season for bow hunters begins September 13 across North Carolina, and the U.S. Forest Service reminds hunters and non-hunters to practice safety when visiting the four national forests. The following are just a few tips hunters should follow to ensure they return home safely from the Croatan, Uwharrie, Pisgah, or Nantahala national forests: Check weather reports before visiting the forest. Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will return. During certain seasons, hunters must wear hunter (blaze) orange viewable from all directions. Here are just some of the tips non-hunters should practice during hunting season: Wear bright cloth-ing. Make yourself more visible. Choose colors that stand out, like red, blaze orange or green, and avoid white, blacks, browns, earth-toned greens and animal-colored clothing. Orange vests and hats are advisable. Don't forget to protect fido. Get an orange vest for your dog if he/she accompa-nies you. Make noise. Whistle, sing or carry on a conversation as you walk to alert hunters to your presence. Sound carries well across mountain basins, and hunters should be listening for any sounds of ani-mal movement. Remember, your safety is your responsibility when visiting a national forest.

Courage

Courage is being responsible for your own actions, and admitting your own mistakes without placing blame on oth-ers. It’s relying not on others for your success, but on your own skills and ef-forts. Courage is refusing to quit even when you’re intimidated by impossibility. It’s choosing a goal, sticking with it, and finding solutions to the problems. Courage is thinking big, aiming high, and shooting far. It’s taking a dream and doing anything, risking everything, and stopping at nothing to make it a re-ality. – Caroline Kent

We invite you to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church at 699 Pleasant Hill Road in Le-noir. Call 828-726-6564 for more infor-mation.

God Bless You, Pastor John Gray
