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 2, 2014, we become the Caldwell Journal.

Thank You - Mark & Merri Lee Jackson

Fort Defiance Certification By The Overmountain Victory Trail

Association The public is invited to help us celebrate the dedication of Fort Defiance on Hwy. 268 as an offi-cial certified site of the Overmountain Victory Na-tional Historic Trail on Saturday Sept. 27th during a ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on the front lawn of the house. Fort Defiance, the restored 1792 home of General William Lenoir, was a garrison point for the march to King’s Mountain on September 28th, 1780, a turning point of the American Revolution. The Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail runs through VA, TN, NC & SC. It follows the route of our patriot militia as they pursued the British forces. Eventually they would besiege Major Pat-rick Ferguson in a patriot victory at the Battle of King’s Mountain. The trail is still developing through many partnerships with land owners and organizations with much of the trail open to the public and which can be visited and walked today. “We encourage you to come by and take a walk into history” says Becky Phillips, Site Director at Fort Defiance. Invited speakers for the dedication will be Senator Jim Broyhill who introduced the legis-lation which led to the formation of the Overmoun-tain Victory National Historic Trail, Paul Carson superintendent of the OVNHT, John Slaughter general superintendent of the NPS, Mayor Joe Gib-bons and RG Absher of the OVTA. Refreshments will be served and all participants will be given a brief tour of the historic home of William Lenoir. For more information visit www.ovta.org.

Hudson Production Of "Fiddler on the Roof" A Family Affair For The Bosts

By Keith Smith...Peter Bost is a powerful man with talent, stage presence and a voice to match. He is one of the most experienced singers and actors in the Unifour, having participated in many church mu-sical endeavors and directorial positions over the years. He has served as an actor, music director and director in various productions with Hickory Community Theatre, the Green Room, Foothills Perform-ing Arts, Old Colony Players and more. You might say that in theatre, he has been a very rich man. But one role that has eluded him has been that of the lead, Tevye the Milkman, in the classic Broadway musical, "Fiddler on the Roof."

Peter has a sister, Penny Bost Schrum, who does not stand in Peter's shadow. Her theatri-cal and musical endeavors have been illustrious, rivaling those of her brother. She has played the female lead, Golde, in "Fiddler."

Peter and Penny's father, Raymond M. Bost, from Maiden, NC, served in the Marines in World War 2 and returned to complete his Un-dergraduate Degree at then Lenoir-Rhyne Col-lege. There he met and married Margaret Ved-der, an LR student from Hartford, Connecticut. Raymond took Margaret back to Connecticut, where he earned both his Masters and Doctorate Degrees from Yale University. The Bosts later returned to Hickory, where Dr. Bost was President of Lenoir-Rhyne College from 1968 until 1976. (Peter, Penny and both of their parents are Lenoir-Rhyne alumni.)

Raymond and Margaret recently celebrated their 67th Wedding Anniversary. Through the years, they have closely, proudly and faithfully followed Peter and Penny in their artistic endeavors and theatrical careers, including eight plays in which their children appeared together. The four Bosts had the oppor-tunity to act together as a family in Hickory Community Theatre's first Senior Theatre Production, "Spoon River Anthology."

Margaret Bost says, "I am proud of both of my children for using their God-given talents." Dr. Ray-mond Bost says, "I have appreciated both of my children's artistic experiences over the years. When I first saw the "Fiddler on the Roof" movie, it became one of my favorites because of the music and my interest in religious history, particularly that of the Jewish people. And I could immediately envision Peter playing the lead role of Tevye easily and effectively."

Dr. Bost has anxiously awaited Peter's appearance as the wry humored, Jewish wannabe Biblical Scholar in "Fiddler." One of the great lessons of Judaism is to find patience in the everyday struggles of life, to persevere through waiting for things to come to fruition. After numerous auditions for the role, the wait is over. Peter is currently in preparation to play Tevye in Hudson's upcoming Dinner Theatre Production of "Fiddler on the Roof," to be presented at the Hudson Uptown Building (HUB) in October.

Dr. Bost says that he is delighted, even more so because his daughter, Penny, joins Peter in the cast. Penny says, "It is always a joy to work with my brother, Peter, to feed off each other's energy, to run lines together because we both demand accuracy and perfection. It is satisfying to watch the process and evolution of a show, to see it grow from an idea into a reality."

Hudson Production Of "Fiddler on the Roof" A Family Affair For The Bosts Continued...

Peter says that he became acquainted with the music from "Fiddler on the Roof" when his junior high and high school choruses performed some of the selections. "Getting to perform my father's favorite show with my sister in its 50th Anniversary, fulfilling a mutual dream of my father's and mine all make this very special. Every boy's desire is to make his father happy."

"Fiddler on the Roof" is indeed celebrating its 50th Anniversary, having opened on Broadway on Sep-tember 22nd, 1964. It has enjoyed three Broadway revivals and will experience a fourth next year. The show was the longest running musical on Broadway until displaced by "Grease." The iconic "Fiddler" is still the 16th longest running Broadway show ever, musical or non-musical. The initial run was for 3242 performances. Composer Jerry Bock and Lyricist Sheldon Harnick wrote some 50 songs for the play, using 16 of them. Among these are some of the most popular, beloved songs ever to grace the Great White Way: "Tradition," "Matchmaker," "If I Were a Rich Man," "To Life, L'Chaim," "Sunrise, Sunset," "Now I Have Everything," "Far From the Home I Love," "Miracles of Miracles," "Anatevka" and many more.

"Fiddler" is set in Russia in 1905 and with humor and pathos, deals with the struggles of a Jewish community as they face the collapse of tradition from within and political pressure from without.

If you want to join the Bost family in enjoying this timeless show, you don't have to travel to Russia, only to Hudson! This will be Hudson's 18th dinner theatre production. The meal will be catered by Dan'l Boone Inn.

The HUB is located at 145 Cedar Valley Road in Hudson. "Fiddler" runs Thursday through Saturday on October 16th, 17th, 18th, 23rd, 24th and 25th. Dinner will be served at 6:30 PM with the show to follow at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $30 for dinner and the play, $15 for the play only. To make reservations, please go by or call the HUB box office at 726-8871, Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM. The box office is closed from 12:30 PM until 1:30 PM for lunch.

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.

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.

Isaiah 28:21 “For the Lord shall rise up,

that he may do his work, his strange

work; and bring to pass his act, his

strange act.”

What is God’s strange act? God is a God of

mercy. It is strange, not like God to withdraw

His mercy. There are people, nations, and

later most of the world, will reject God’s

mercy. God does not force His mercy, and life

of righteousness, upon people. It is not God,

but people who reject, and turn away from

God. The rejecters of His mercy reap that

which they have sown. God is the fountain of

life; and when a person chooses sin, he sepa-

rates from God, and thus cuts himself off

from life. He is alienated from the life of God.

God said, “All that hate me love death.” God

gives life and existence to people, allowing

people to be formed in His Image, and receive

His character. Sad, but most people love the

ways and pleasures of sin, more than they do

God. A few people will submit to the Spirit of

God, through His Son, and give up sin. But,

all who cling to sin become identified with it.

Then the glory of God, which destroys sin,

will destroy sinners. It will be strange be-

cause it is not God’s will that anyone perish.

South Caldwell Spartans Defeat Maiden 28-7

By Freelance Sports Writer Dan O’Neal...Somehow it is doubtful that most readers would care, but for this writer, it is the very first time I have ever entered a press box by way of ele-vator at a high school football game. According to Marty Curtis, head baseball coach of Bun-ker Hill High School, all schools who construct new stadiums are required to be equipped with an elevator. Hence, such a novelty is worn quickly.

The South Caldwell Spartans took to the road to face the Maiden Blue Devils for their final non-conference matchup before facing Hibriten in the conference opener the following Fri-day. The Spartans certainly wanted to elevate coming off of a loss to AC Reynolds in a make-up second half last Saturday evening. Traveling to the biggest, little football town in the United States always proves to be a challenge for any opponent.

There are memories of Maiden's wide margin of victory from the 2013 season, which would lead most local football pundits to give the Blue Devils the edge. Coach Butch Carter and his crew had other ideas. It should be remembered that games are still won on the field and not on paper. South took this truth to heart and took advantage of Maiden mistakes and acquiring excellent short field (Darren Sproles short according to one reporter) position on kickoffs to come away with a very convincing 28-7 road victory over the Blue Devils.

South Caldwell, in addition to having outstanding control of the football, also played very solid defense, holding the Blue Devils to only 224 yards of total offense. Maiden was not able to generate much offense for the entire game with the exception of two possessions, one which resulted in a fumble along with their lone touchdown and extra point. It would not do much justice to mention one or two particular defenders as the entire unit played solid for four quarters. Maiden's only score came with 5:28 in the game on a seven yard touchdown pass from Caleb Farley to Shayquan Kimble.

The Spartans, on the other hand, had possession of the ball for almost twenty-six minutes and made one-hundred percent certain not to kickoff to the speedy backs from the Blue Devils squad. Even though they would fumble on a drive toward the end zone, the execution on offense was very sound resulting in touchdown runs by Gavin Reed, Cias Hawkins, and Nick Hudson. Hudson accounted for two Spartans' scores, including a 45 yard sprint to the house and rushed for 110 yards on fifteen carries.

"A lot of math has to be attributed to Hudson. Winning here against a high-powered of-fense and the goal line stance in the second quarter (Maiden fumble). The defense tackled really well. We played to win and not to lose and we also controlled the clock efficiently. Not kicking off to Maiden caught them off guard and our line wore their defense down late in the game" commented Spartans head coach Butch Carter.

South Caldwell improved to 4-1 and will face another county rival, Hibriten, this Friday evening. Kickoff is at 7:30pm.

Give

“Give and it shall be given unto you” (Luke 6:38)

The 1828 Webster’s dictionary defines the word give as a bestowment of transfer from one to another. To give is mentioned some 882 times in the Bible according to the Strong’s Concor-dance.

Some people always think that giving is for someone else to do and never themselves. Here’s the problem with that attitude: They who never give, never get blessed! Giving and bless-ing go together. Humans make a living by what they earn but they make a life by what they give. You will never be remembered by what you made but by what you gave. What one gives only leaves their hand, it never leaves their life, like a boomerang it’s coming back to them someway somehow.

Giving is a proof that you are not controlled by the greed demons of the world. In our country need is everywhere, so I want to encourage you to give to others needs and I promise you will be blessed in various manners. Never forget the debt we owe to God for giving his Son for us.

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
