Granite Falls Dedicates New Veterans Monument

By Lee Jackson...Under blue skies on Tuesday, No-vember 11th, 2014 the Granite Falls Veterans Monument was dedicated to honor the many veterans that have served our country either in the past or active duty. A large crowd enjoyed the patriotic music by the South Caldwell High Band under the direction of Jason Childers. The ceremony was opened with the sweet sound of chil-dren from the Granite Falls Elementary School Chorus singing the “Star Spangled Banner.” Mayor Barry Hayes welcomed everyone to the ceremony and gave thanks to all the veterans as they are “the reason this country is strong.” He also thanked the “volunteer committee” as their dream, mission and campaign to honor our veterans has come to fruition. Several others honoring our veterans in song were Chad Raby, SCHS Ensemble and Keith Smith. The crowd was on their feet waving American flags as Chad Raby along with the SCHS Ensemble sang “God Bless the USA.” Keith Smith honored the Veterans by singing “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Sam Erby, Chairman of the Veterans Monument Com-mittee, thanked the volunteer committee for their hard work and “countless hours” over the past few years as they “made this thing possible.” As they began this endeavor to honor veterans they quickly realized “everything thought to be easy turned out to be a real task.” They be-gan with $50.71 several years ago and now have in excess of $140,000.00. The committee should be commended for their dedication to our veterans. Mr. Erby then introduced Lt. General Thomas Waskow, guest speaker for this special occasion. Lt. Gen. Waskow thanked the veterans “for letting me be a part of this day” and the “beauty of this setting”. “Today is personal” as he told about his father-in-law and that the veterans are our “nation’s most precious treasure.” This monument is “a tribute to the patriotism of the men and women from small towns across America.” Lt. Gen. Waskow made mention of our hometown heroes, Jesse Bowman, Jack Keller, June Keller, Kip Whisnant and Clark Kirby. To show appreciation to Lt. General Waskow, Mayor Hayes presented him with the Granite Falls History book and to honor his service, would have his name engraved on the monument. The ceremony was ended with “Taps” performed by SCHS ensemble. Many thanks to the committee that made this memorial possible, Granite Falls now has a special monument to honor and show respect to the men and women that have so faithfully served our country.

Word War II Veteran James “Pib” Whisnant Bio

James “Pib” Whisnant is a life-long resident of Granite Falls. He was married to the late Mary White Pitts Whisnant and has one daughter, Jeanne Whisnant who lives in Lenoir, and one grandson, Bryan McRary and wife Anita who live in Granite Falls. He served in the US Navy Armed Guard from October, 1942 until November 1945 in the Atlantic theatre. The Navy Armed Guard consisted of Navy gun crews who were stationed aboard merchant ships. Our shipping had been disrupted by German U-boats, and naval guns were added to the merchant ships in or-der to offer some protection and to allow shipping to continue. He served on two different tankers but was on a troop trans-port – the USS Excelsior – on D-Day off-loading troop onto

O m a h a Beach. This ship had been carrying sup-plies to our forces prior to the beginning of Operation O v e r l o r d . They took fire and had some damage. They then sailed to

Belfast, Ireland for two days of repair. Afterward, the Excelsior took more troops to Omaha and returned to the US with Ger-man POW’s. We were fortunate to be able to travel to Bedford, VA for the 70th anniversary of D-Day. As with most of the people who served, he just did not understand why everyone was making it such a big deal. But when he realized how much their sacrifice was appreciated and had so many thank him for his service, he began to get the idea! One young woman brought her three young daughters to him, asking him to speak with them so they would have a memory of speaking with a WWII vet. After completing his service, Pib worked as a truck driver at Lenoir Chair, Broyhill Indus-tries, and Anderson Truck Lines. He left Anderson to help with the creation of Caldwell Freight Lines and retired in 1987. Many people in Granite Falls know him from having their gardens plowed or their fields mowed. He is 93 and is in good shape for a young man of his years!

Thank you to Jeanne Whisnant (Pib’s daughter) for submitting this bio and the photographs!

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.

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.

Mark 2:8 “And immediately when Jesus perceived in His Spirit that they so rea-soned within themselves, He said unto them, “why reason ye these things in your hearts?” A spirit is the part of a person that can perceive or understand things. Nebu-chadnezzar had a dream and he told his wise men that he had dreamed a dream and that his spirit was troubled to know the dream. A spirit is the part of a person that can be troubled. The spirit is the part of a human being associated with the heart, mind, will, and feelings. Man has a spirit and God has a spirit. Paul com-pared the spirit of man with the Spirit of God when he said, “For what man knoweth the things of a man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” God’s Spirit is holy. God’s Spirit is associated with His heart, mind, will, and feelings. The spirit of man can be grieved. The Spirit of God can be grieved. God’s Spirit belongs to God and my spirit is not an-other god and my spirit is not another me. In the Bible, the Father and the Son talked to each other, but neither ever talked to the Holy Spirit.

Woodgrain Millwork celebrates location in Caldwell County with ribbon-cutting

By the Caldwell EDC…Woodgrain Millwork, Inc. officially marked the beginning of a new era for Caldwell County’s rich woodworking legacy with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednes-day, Nov. 5 at the company’s facility at 820 Complex St. SW, Lenoir. The event – sponsored by the Caldwell County Economic Development Commission – featured Woodgrain Millwork Vice President Greg Easton, North Carolina House of Repre-sentatives Majority Leader and Caldwell County resident Ed-gar Starnes, and numerous local officials. In his remarks, Easton recalled the early beginnings of the company his grandfather started sixty years ago, pointing out that his grandfather could never have envisioned what would become of his efforts. He echoed EDC Executive Director Deborah Murray’s comments about the company’s reasons for choosing the Lenoir site for expansion, noting that location, natural resources, and most important, a trained workforce were the leading factors. “I am certain that this (Caldwell County) was the right decision for us,” Easton stated. Woodgrain Millwork has been working for the past two years to bring the 270,000-square-foot A-frame building back to life in Lenoir. The facility’s core focus is the manufacturing of wood moulding products that are sold by hardware and home improvement retailers worldwide. Woodgrain Millwork is the largest supplier of those products to Home Depot. Woodgrain Millwork Eastern Regional Manager Robb Hitch said 100 percent of the lumber that passes through the site is utilized in some capacity. The company also utilizes many local suppliers and vendors. The Lenoir location currently has 90 employees, with plans to nearly double the workforce in the fu-ture. Based out of Fruitland, Idaho, Woodgrain Millwork has two other manufacturing sites for win-dows and doors in North Carolina. In photo: Woodgrain Millwork was the site for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the wood moulding manufacturer’s facility in Lenoir.

Teachers Win Bright Ideas Grants from Blue Ridge Electric

By Blue Ridge Electric Membership Cor-

poration…Exciting, hands-on learning pro-jects are coming to local classrooms, thanks to more than $4,800 in Bright Ideas grants awarded today by Blue Ridge Electric Mem-bership Corporation to five educators during a luncheon at Blue Ridge Electric’s Corporate office.

Bright Ideas is an academic grants program sponsored by Blue Ridge Electric in conjunc-tion with North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation and its 26 other member electric cooperatives. Bright Ideas grants help fund innovative scholastic projects that go beyond available school funding.

Caldwell County grant winners are:

Michael Sides of William Lenoir Middle School for “Science Olympiad Team.” This grant of $600 will be used to sponsor a Science Olympiad Team and compete in regional competition in March and possibly advance to the state level competition. These tournaments are rigorous academic interscholastic competitions that consist of a series of different hands-on, interactive, challenging and inquiry-based events that are well balanced between the various disciplines of biology, earth science, environmental science, chemistry, physics, engineering and technology.

Randy Seldomridge of Granite Falls Middle School for “MakerSpace.” This $868 grant will be used to provide a shared space and tools for collaborative technical and artistic creativity for stu-dents in what is known as a “MakerSpace.” MakerSpace provides hands-on, creative ways to encour-age students to design, experiment, build, and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering, and tinkering.

Connie Root of Caldwell Career Center Middle College for “Saving Lives with CPR.” This $727 grant will benefit students in the Biomedical Science Academy. CPR torsos allow students to learn and practice this life-saving technique.

Alex Martin of Hibriten High School for “Underwater Drones.” This $1,142 grant will allow student teams to build components of a submarine. The device will collect data to be used in earth science and biology classes.

David R. Brown of South Caldwell High School for “UAV Drone Operations and Ethics” This $1,497 grant will allow students to build flight plans and operate three Unmanned Aerial Vehi-cles (UAV) in multiple scenarios during the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps Naval Sci-ences course. Students will study aspects of aerodynamics, aviation regulations, intelligence opera-tions and other potential uses of drones. Students will then apply their experiences to draw conclu-sions on future ethical uses of drones.

Blue Ridge Electric received 94 applications for the 2014-2015 school year from schools in its service area of Caldwell, Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany, Wilkes and Avery counties. Funds totaling $21,307 were awarded to 24 schools which benefited many area students and communities.

Beocare Group Acquires Shelby Elastics

By the Caldwell EDC...BeoCare Group Inc., one of the leading North-American manufacturers of knitted medical textiles, has acquired all the assets of Shelby Elastics of North Carolina LLC. Both North Carolina-based companies manufacture specialty medical textiles used in a wide range of applications in hospitals and long term care facilities. Shelby Elastics will continue to operate as an independent di-vision of BeoCare from its current location in Shelby, where it employs 51 people. Shelby Elastics was founded over 35 years ago as a specialist knitter of elastic products. Over the years the company has become one of the leading ISO 9001 certified manufacturers of specialty elastic prod-ucts for the medical industry. “Many leading medical device companies look to Shelby Elastics for technical and innovative support in developing new products,” said Craig Wood, who has been the president of Shelby Elastics since 1999. “Our ventilated and stretch loop products are examples of innovations that are widely used in medical products.” Wood will stay with Shelby Elastics and will take on the wider responsibility as VP of Sales and Mar-keting for the entire BeoCare group of companies. BeoCare, which employs 103 people in Hudson, is the leading domestic OEM contract manufacturer of knitted textile products for use in maternity care and incontinence care. BeoCare is certified ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 and counts some of the largest medical distributors in the United States amongst its clients. “Through our extensive and continuing investment in research and development, we have developed a range of innovative new products with applications in fast growing therapeutical areas such as orthope-dic care, surgical care and wound care,” said Peter Vanderbruggen, CEO of BeoCare Group Inc. "We are firm believers in U.S. manufacturing, and with the acquisition of Shelby Elastics we are now adding the extensive capabilities of the Shelby Elastics team in crochet knitting to our own capabilities in seamless knitting. The result is a unique domestic one stop shop for OEM medical knitted textiles. “Craig will help us strengthen our long term OEM relationships with leading healthcare brands," added Mr. Vanderbruggen. "With the acquisition of Shelby Elastics we are step closer to realizing our vision to become the preferred OEM partner of choice for leading healthcare companies worldwide and to work together with them in developing innovative medical textiles that improve the quality of life for patients throughout the world.”

Caldwell County joins Foreign Trade Zone #57, administered by the

Charlotte Regional partnership

By the Caldwell County EDC…In a potential boost for companies that import and export goods, Caldwell County has been extended membership into the Charlotte Regional Part-nership’s Foreign Trade Zone. A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is a federally-designated area that enables businesses to capi-talize on lower tax rates for importing and ex-porting goods. Companies that use the FTZ pro-gram do not pay taxes on imported goods until those goods leave the zone and enter domestic commerce. In addition, raw materials can be imported manufactured, and exported without companies paying tariffs or duties on the product. Along with Caldwell, Rutherford and Polk counties have joined the partnership, upping the overall members in the regional partnership to 15. “It’s a significant competitive development for Caldwell County, one that increases our ability to compete on a global basis,” Caldwell County Economic Development Commission Executive Director Deborah Murray said. Recently reorganized under a new manage-ment system, the regional FTZ seeks to stream-line the process in order to make it easier for companies to take advantage of the service. Charlotte Douglas International Airport has been designated as the region’s permanent mag-net FTZ site and recently unveiled a new $92 million intermodal transportation facility. Companies interested in learning more or de-termining eligibility should contact Murray at (828) 728 -0 76 8 o r by e ma il a t [email protected].

Mount Zion Baptist Church, 1787 Cajah Mountain Road, Hudson will provide a free Christmas Day lunch on Thursday, December 25 from 11am-1pm in the Fellowship Hall. For more information call 828-396-1241.

Families are encouraged to attend and bring bag lunches and make this a family outing! FRIENDS' Executive Director, Susan J. Mills, PhD, says "FRIENDS and the Blue Ridge Parkway have a mutual goal - to connect the next generation to our park. In our case, connecting children and youth to the Blue Ridge Parkway is critical to empowering the next generation to value our park, to learn from our work today and to make it part of their commitment for tomorrow. These viewshed restoration programs held in both Virginia and North Carolina exemplify the program motto 'explore, learn, protect', and FRIENDS is focusing on this connection." The National Park Service-Blue Ridge Parkway has approached FRIENDS this year with a large num-ber of projects that will require funding assistance and volunteers. The Parkway relies on FRIENDS for volunteers and funding to help it continue at the level its visitors expect. David Still, Co-Chair of the High Country Chapter of FRIENDS say, "This project is an opportunity for local communities to con-nect with FRIENDS and make a difference for their park! Funding for FRIENDS' projects and programs are needed now. Community leaders are encouraged to serve on the local High Country Chapter to im-plement and recruit volunteers for the projects here in the Boone and Blowing Rock communities." Several community, civic, and youth groups have supported FRIENDS viewshed plantings over the years. FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway spearheads the viewshed plantings with the support of scout troops, school children, local businesses, government representatives, college students, and other civic and community groups.

FRIENDS is the only authorized Blue Ridge Parkway partner organization that has been given the project to con-duct landscape plantings under a formal agreement between FRIENDS and the National Park Service. FRIENDS is membership based and empowers a community-based Chapter to plan and implement viewshed restoration pro-grams. The community-based steering Chapter recruits volunteers working collectively with FRIENDS. If you are interested in getting involved with your local FRIENDS Chapter on this or future projects, please contact FRIENDS at [email protected] or 540-772-2992 or toll-free 800-228-PARK (7275).

Caldwell County’s Greatest Need

Our unemployment rate continues to rank amongst the highest in the nation yet jobs are not our greatest need. Teenage pregnancies abound due to fornication and lack of supervision but purity and guidance are not our greatest need. Meth labs and drug related crimes have become part of our county’s reputation and still the war on drugs and alcohol is lost because victory over these issues is not our greatest need. Our churches are slumbering into hibernation as our citizens hear its members snore, fight and divide and still yet revival will not come to them until our greatest need is met. I live, witness, and serve in this county and I hear the hopelessness and despair that vents from the hearts our people. I’ve seen the poverty and personally witnessed a drug deal go down only to be reminded again of our county’s greatest need. So what is the greatest need for Caldwell County’s jobless, pregnant, drug addicted and spiritual slumbering citizens? If you really desire to know please read the fol-lowing biblical verses and apply them to your life in a personal way that works best for you. John 15:13, Romans 13:8, 13:10, Hebrews 13:1, Matthew 5:44, Proverbs 17:17

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
