South Caldwell Spartans Win County Football Championship Teams Exhibit Heartwarming Sportsmanship

By Mark Jackson {Caldwell Journal}...On the night of Friday, September 26, 2014 Hibriten con-tested South Caldwell in Hudson for the Caldwell County Football Championship. South Caldwell bat-tled back from a 14-16 deficit in the 3rd quarter to defeat Hibriten by the score of 28-16. Possibly the most special part of the game came after the scoreboard showed 00:00 in the 4th quarter. Both teams lined up to shake hands and together they formed a circle in the center of the field to pray together.

Caldwell Journal Weekly Recipe

Molasses Stack Cake

Ingredients 1/2 cup brown sugar or white

1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup molasses

1/2 cup milk 2 cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon mixed spices 1 egg

Instructions Cream butter and add sugar gradually with beaten egg and molasses. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and spices together. Add milk, mix well. Bake in well greased pan, 35 minutes in thin layers or roll out and cut out size of plate and bake on cookie sheet. Stack 4 or 5 layers, with apple butter between them. Let stand overnight before eating. This recipe was supplied by Miss Addie Wood of Mayberry Trading Post. She has been making the cake for years from the recipe that was in the cookbook that came with a “Wrought Iron Range Co.” wood cookstove. The company was reestablished in 1864 according to the cookbook. This recipe is an old mountain favorite and is still made and brought to most family reunions up here today. I bet you’ve heard of fried apples. Who hasn’t? But have you ever heard of fried cherries? Miss Addie said folks used to dry cherries but that you can fix fried cherries from fresh or dried. This is her recipe: Seed your cherries. Put bacon grease or butter in a pan and put cherries in pan. Cook like frying apples until done. Sweeten to taste.

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.

Spartans Defeat Hibriten And Are Crowned Caldwell County Champs

By Freelance Sports Writer Dan O’Neal...The winner of the Caldwell Cup for 2014 is....the South Caldwell Spartans. It is only proper to extend a word of congratulations to Coach Butch Carter and his excellent staff along with the superb fourth quarter play by the Spartans' offense and defense. This resulted in the Spartans' 28-16 victory over conference and county rival, the Hibriten Panthers. Hibriten entered the night's contest undefeated while the Spartans were coming off a big road win at Maiden the previous Friday evening. Given that these schools are county rivals, Spartan Stadium was filled to capacity (parking lot most certainly was). It would be fresh upon the coaches as well as the senior players minds what transpired in the 2013 season where Hibriten won by a sizable margin. One could say this would facilitate motivation but to refer to the contest as one of revenge or a grudge match would be inappropriate in that such men-tality is not visible on this team. What does stand out with this group is the approach to every game...solid defense, control the foot-ball and the game clack and to never kick the football toward "world-class" sprinters on the opposing team. This approach worked for some of the game however, Hibriten came into this game hungry along with the awareness of the importance in winning conference games (to qualify for state playoffs). If you have seen them play, you will notice the way Panthers head coach Clay Lewis has their athletes running out of the I-formation with great efficiency. This explains the 195 yards rushing on fifteen carries by Panthers running back Tishawn Daniels, who received rave reviews by many Spartans de-fenders following the game. Daniels also sprinted for a 75 yard off-guard burst directly up the mid-dle to put the Panthers ahead at the 8:27 mark of the third period. Overall, Hibriten gained 386 yards of total offense, almost 100 yards more than their home team opponent. When this happens, the team with more yards in both the passing and rushing statistics customarily comes away with the win. Then again, when that offensive machine sputters resulting from turning the football over five times, such miscues become a hindrance in winning. One of the six fumbles by the Panthers came as a result of what I call the "Spartan Horse" (as op-posed to a Trojan Horse), a surprise short kickoff catching a member of the receiving team off bal-ance. Kicker Will Benfield chipped the ball to an upward receiver, where the ball slipped between his left hand and his left hip. The Spartans Noah Bradshaw was very much alert on this mishap and quickly pounced on the football. From there, the Spartans would drive 36 yards to the goal where quarterback Gavin Reed rushed for another fourth quarter score, putting the Spartans up for good and a 28-16 final score. Reed would lead the Spartans offensive charge with his 157 yards on nineteen carries and two touchdowns. Cameron Wright would account for 73 yards on eleven carries. Nick Hudson would also score yet another touchdown at the 9:25 left in the game. "Wright had great runs, Gavin's experience paid off, and we did not panic, especially in the third quarter. The offensive line really matured tonight and their defensive keyed in on our linebackers. This is a great Hibriten team but am extremely proud of these young men" commented Coach Carter. In sharing a final word, while both teams showed great heard and spirit on the field of play, they showed even greater heart and soul after the game as the players and coaches from both schools gathered at midfield for a closing prayer. Classy and heartwarming would be fitting words to de-scribe this scene. Guess there is still prayer in schools. South Caldwell now posts a 4-1 record as they travel to Morganton to face another Panthers squad, the Patton Panthers. Kickoff is at 7:30pm.

Western Piedmont Symphony Receives Grant

The Western Piedmont Symphony is pleased to an-nounce the receipt of a two year grant from Corning Incorporated Foundation. This grant will support the educational outreach program by the Western Pied-mont Chamber Orchestra and by the participants in our Hickory Metro String Quartet Residency Pro-gram. These funds will support two educational concerts by the Western Piedmont Chamber Orchestra in Alex-ander and Caldwell County schools targeting grades 4 and 5. Traditionally these concerts have been funded directly by the local school systems. These concerts have been suspended due to budget constraints for several years. For all too many of these students, this is their only exposure to live classical music and to a live orchestra. This grant would also augment the number of string quartet outreach concerts which are traditionally of-fered and targeted to grade 2 students. Support from Corning Incorporated Foundation will also allow the Symphony to expand its music education/outreach programs to additional schools in the Hickory Metro area. This project relates to three of the five focus areas of the Foundation. First, the project is educational in nature as each of our concerts is interactive and ad-dresses goals that relate to overall school curriculum including subject areas beyond music education such as history, mathematics, language arts, physical edu-cation, and visual arts. Second, the program focuses on cultural programming representing a broad spec-trum of classical music styles, integrating pop music and jazz into many of the programs as well. A special effort is made in our programs to be ethnically and geographically diverse. Thirdly, this project specifi-cally addresses community by allowing us to once again provide a reasonable level of programming to all of our four-county marketing areas and insuring that every student is exposed to both chamber and orchestral music by our outstanding regional musi-cians on at least two occasions. Western Piedmont Symphony is a grant recipient of the North Carolina Arts Council and a funded affiliate of the United Arts Council of Catawba County. Business offices are located on the SALT Block at 243 Third Ave-nue NE, Hickory. Business hours are 9:00 am until 4:00 pm daily. Contact the Business Office at (828) 324-8603 for concert box office schedule or for more information. Visit the Symphony’s website at www.wpsymphony.org.

Ezekiel 36:26 “A new heart also will I give

you, and my spirit will I put within you.”

You may allow the spirit of Jesus to come

into your heart and live. Jesus living in you

will give you peace that passeth under-

standing, even in this troubled world. Jesus

living in you, the transforming power of His

Grace will get you ready to go live in

Heaven. When Jesus lives in you, you will

think about God and going to live with Him

more than thinking of self and this troubled

world. Jesus living in you will change your

character from selfish to love. Jesus living

in you brings about joy, healing, hope, and

blessings too good to believe. Jesus living

in you puts you on God’s side, who, when

the Great Controversy is all said and done is

the winner. Jesus living in you gives you an

abundant life, in this world, and an immor-

tal life to come where you will never perish.

Jesus living in you, love will abound and

take away fear, doubt, worry, depression,

and all mental destruction. Guess what?

Jesus living in you is God’s gift offered to

you. Accept His Gift; you will be glad.

Pleasant Hill Baptist Church

Home

Just the mention of the word brings joy or bitterness to one’s mind. Either way home causes the heart to reflect upon our up-bringing, our childhood, our school days, our first date, our first car, etc. All are activities surrounded by our home. Let’s now look at the four L’s of a good home.

Love: A good home life will have to be filled with love as its foundation. Without love for one another one lives in a house and not a home. Love converts the house into home. (1 Corinthians 13)

Laughter: Laugh at each other or you will kill each other. Laughing eases the stress and tension life throws at us. Laughing is heart jogging. (Ecclesiastes 3:4)

Limits: Everybody has limits! Respect them and the home will be better for everyone. The atmosphere you create determines the product you produce. (Ephesians 5:1-9)

Lord: Christ is the head period! Christ will keep you together when you want to leave, quit, or divorce. Christ is the Father’s thread that will hold your home together and his seams will not burst. (Revelation 22:1-7)

A good home resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in oppo-site directions, yet always punishing anyone who tries to come between them.

Home: Your castle or your coffin. You decide!

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
