Back To School For Caldwell Students

By Caldwell County Schools...More than 12,000 Caldwell County students attended school on Mon-day, the first official day back from summer break for students who were excited to get reacquainted with old friends and enthused about their new classes. Superintendent Dr. Steve Stone and School Board Chairman Darrell Pennell visited campuses across the district. “The schools are running smoothly and educators are teaching like its day 100 instead of day one,” said Stone. “Even though we are operating with less due to state budget cuts, there are no indicators on the faces of employees who greet students with smiles and helpful-ness.” “We have received few, if any, con-cerns from parents about the start of school, and Caldwell residents have been cautious and patient with the additional stops and starts on the highway with the yellow school buses,” said Stone. The 120 yellow buses transport approximately 6,000 students to and from school. When driving, motorists should al-ways exercise safety and caution near the yellow school bus and near school bus stops. According to the Department of Public Instruction, there were few changes academically this school year. The Caldwell County Schools will continue using the state's Standard Course of Study. The De-partment of Public Instruction will begin the review process this year for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math standards, a process that is expected to take up to four years and one that may or may not result in significant changes. Teachers and associates participated in academic staff development this summer in programs that support the state standards ranging from Reading Foundations to Lettterland Interventions to Responsiveness to Instruction. Superintendent Dr. Stone encourages all parents to continue to be involved in their children‟s educa-tion this school year through volunteer service, membership in their school‟s parent organization or through clubs or athletics. “For our part, we will offer a first-rate educational experience,” said Stone, “and in return, we ask that parents become involved: follow-up on homework assignments; ensure that students attend school regularly and begin the school day on time; and encourage students to reach their greatest potential. By working together, our students will experience another successful school year.”

SCHS Lady Spartans Volleyball Picks Up First Win

By Coach Nicole Johnson...On Wednesday, Au-gust 20, 2014, the SCHS women's volleyball team got their first win over West Caldwell in three sets, a big victory for the South Caldwell volleyball pro-gram. Alex Knight, a sophomore, played a sensa-tional match and led the team to victory with 14 kills, 4 digs, 1 assist, and 3 blocks. Senior Lauren Rash also had a big game with 7 kills, 3 digs, 2 as-sists, and 1 block. Senior Lauren Arrington and Junior Carrie Mitchell also offered many offensive contributions, with Juniors Caitlin Starnes and Olivia Spencer as the biggest defensive factors. The Lady Spartans have been working hard throughout the entirety of the off-season and pre-season, and it has really shown so far. This was a great win for the Lady SPARTANS, who plan to grow and pro-gress in every way throughout the rest of the sea-son.

New NJROTC Cadets Complete Orientation Week At SCHS

By SCHS Public Affairs Officer Kirsten John-

son...Thirty new NJROTC cadets completed orientation week at South Caldwell High School August 18-22. This week at SCHS, these new cadets have learned some of what it means to be in the NJROTC program; from learning procedures and how to stand at at-tention, to doing physical training. These ca-dets still have much to learn, however. NJROTC is not an easy course as some peo-ple may think; it is much more than just marching around and drilling. All new cadets learn leadership and citizenship as well as military history, how to wear a uniform, drill execution, as well as self-discipline. NJROTC also focuses on helping students be successful in all aspects of their high school experience. This year, SCHS has seen a 30 percent rise in cadet entrance into NJROTC program. There are now over 150 cadets in the pro-gram. Cadet Commanding Officer James Kurts said, “We are honored to have such a large group wanting and willing to take this course. We hope we can influence them and help them become better people here. NJROTC isn‟t just a class, in the JROTC pro-gram we are family. We stand up for each other, look out for each other, and push one another to do better at any and everything.” So we are extremely pleased with our turnout and cannot wait for the school year to begin.

CCC&TI Students Study Abroad in England and Ireland

By CCC&TI...A group of 18 students and employees from Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute recently travelled to England and Ireland for a study abroad tour. The group flew from Charlotte to London‟s Heathrow Airport and started the experience with a tour of Oxford University. Over the next five days, the group visited numerous attractions including the Tower of London, the Winston Churchill War Museum, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul‟s Cathedral, the National Gallery and the London Eye. The group also enjoyed a boat ride on the Thames River to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Many took an afternoon trip to visit Canterbury Cathedral. CCC&TI History Instructor Kathy Cloer, who led the trip along with Relig-ion and Philosophy Instructor Frankie Kelly, said that the London experience included many firsts for the student travelers. “The flight from Charlotte to London‟s Heathrow airport was an exciting first experience of flying for a number of our students,” said Cloer. “And once we arrived, most travel in London was via the London Tube, the underground subway system, which was also a new experience for many.” Cloer said that students enjoyed all of the attractions in the area but “most travelers agreed that one of the most enjoyable evenings of the trip was dinner at an upscale restaurant in the Piccadilly Circus area, followed by a theater performance of „Phantom of the Opera‟ at Her Majesty‟s Theatre. The following four days were spent in Ireland where Kelly said travelers were treated to a completely different type of experience. “The next four days in Ireland were a contrast to London in that the experi-ence was more about countryside and people rather than city sights,” said Kelly. “After arriving in the city of Dublin where we first visited the National Museum of Ireland, visits were made to ancient sites including the passage tombs of Knowth that pre-date the pyramids of Egypt by 500 years.” Students hiked the Aran Islands where a local archaeologist talked with students about the islands‟ history and significance. Students also visited Galway, Kylemore Abbey and enjoyed a guided tour of the poet Yeats‟ country in Sligo and learned about the Irish Potato Famine from a local historian.

Overall, students who were taking the trip as part of the Humanities 180 course, said this was a great learning experience. “I can honestly say I had the best time of my life in these short 10 days away from the United States,” said student Katherine West. “This trip has shown me what life is about. Whether it be traveling to a different country or stepping outside my comfort zone and meeting new people and trying new things, there is more to living than just waking up every morning and going to school,

coming home and watching television...I believe that I am a new person because of this. What everyone said was right; studying abroad certainly has changed my outlook on everything!” Cloer and Kelly agree that this type of study experience can be invaluable to students. “Certainly inter-national travel gives a student a perspective on the world that nothing else can. Travelers, particularly first-time international travelers, begin as students of CCC&TI and become students of the world,” said Cloer. “They experience the richness and beauty of another culture that ultimately contributes to the added appreciation and understanding of one‟s own cultural heritage.”

The story is set in 1905 and revolves around a poor milkman named Tevye who has 5 daughters, 3 of marrying age. They want to marry for love and nor because their spouses are selected by a matchmaker. “Fiddler on the Roof” is one of the most beloved, longest running shows in Broadway history, with musical selections such as “Tradition,” “Matchmaker,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” “Do You Love Me?” and many more. The meal is ca-tered by Dan‟l Boone Inn. Tickets for dinner and the play are $30.00. Tickets for the show only are $15.00. Dinner is served at 6:30 PM with the show to follow at 7:30 PM.

Hudson dinner theatre is sponsored by the town and by the Hud-son Community Development Association, a 501-C-3 non-profit organization.

Dr. Herb Says….Take These Steps To Health

Promoting Optimal Immune Function against Diseases

You are constantly exposed to outside substances. When these invade your body, your im-mune system comes to your defense, but you can still contract all kinds of diseases. Immune sufficiency varied between people, so within the exact same environment, some people stay healthy while others suffer chronically. Although everybody has inherited some type of cancer cells, people with healthy immune systems can defend against the growth of cancer. The raw food diet helps strengthen your immune system and encourages it to func-tion optimally, so when we focus on fighting one disease, we simultaneously fight other dis-eases. Cancer Cancer is the leading disease of the immune system. Although everybody carried cancer genes, a strong immune system prevents cancer cells from growing. Although the exact causes of cancer aren‟t fully-known, the American Cancer Society lists all kinds of chemical substances, viral infections, stress, pollution, and bad eating habits as possi-ble causes and/or accelerants. In fact, poor eating habits make up 70% of the causes. Salty food, smoked food, acidified high-fat diets, processed food, artificial colors, and irregular eat-ing habits cause the body to accumulate poisons in its organs. These substances attack cells or create abnormal cells that cause cancer; or they weaken your immune system, enabling or accelerating cancer. To treat cancer, oncologists use surgery, radiation treatment, and anticancer agents, but these methods also attack healthy cells, creating numerous side effects. Current cancer treat-ment methods are like bombing an entire area to destroy a few scattered enemies in war. The best way to destroy enemies while saving allies is to supply those allies with the right fighting equipment at the right time. Revitalizing the immune system‟s ability to kill cancer cells is the safest treatment with the least side effects. And the best way to do that is through your diet. Institutions such as the American Cancer Society and Korea Cancer Society suggest the fol-lowing common diet habits for cancer prevention and treatment:

· Eat small portions.

· Avoid salty, spicy and stimulating food.

· Eat meals regularly.

· Consume more mushrooms, marine plants, green and red raw vegetables and whole grains.

Promoting Optimal Immune Function against Diseases Continued from page 13…

Raw food meets all these diet stipulations. Phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals obtained through raw food empower the immune system‟s ability to fight cancer cells. Bad eating hab-its can cause cancer; good eating habits can accomplish the opposite. Gastric Disorders Indigestion leads to decreased usage of nutrients and accumulation of undigested sub-stances, leaving poisonous materials inside the body. These affect circulatory and digestive systems and ultimately all organs and cause numerous chronic disorders.

Medicines can help with temporary and partial indigestion, but they don‟t resolve the prob-lems. Medications and antacids can temporarily relieve inflammation and pain, but they can‟t treat the causes, ulcers or damaged areas.

Food is digested by enzymes that dissolve the three major food substance groups (glucose, protein and fat) into smaller units so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. As previ-ously stated enzymes act as catalysts for the body‟s chemical responses and accelerate diges-tion. Ever since the discovery of fire and cooking, humans have lost digestive enzymes in our diets. Meals with insufficient enzymes weaken our immune systems and render the stomach‟s mucous membrane vulnerable to acids and attacks from bacteria and viruses.

Raw food is abundant in natural enzymes that pre-digest the food, minimizing the burden on the stomach to perform digestive activities. Vitamins and minerals restore damaged epithelial cells and promote healthy digestion and stomach structure.

Chlorophyll, phytonutrients, vitamins, and fiber strengthen the body‟s immunity against in-fection, including attacks from Helicobacter pylori, one of the main causes of gastric disor-ders. Once you are infected, H. pylori tend to remain. Most H. pylori carriers have chronic gastritis, and 10% to 20% of carriers have either stomach or duodenum ulcer. The World Health Organization identifies H. pylori as one of the causes of stomach cancer.

The nutrients in raw food can also further protect the stomach by rendering inactive any vi-ruses already present and they buffer the stomach‟s mucous membrane against excessive acid release. Raw food also vitalizes the digestive functions to restore damaged stomach lining and intestines.

Brain When the pituitary is not getting necessary magnesium, it fails in its regulatory function for the adre-nals, allowing them to over produce, resulting in anxiety and seeming nervousness. When the adrenals become exhausted from overproduction of adrenal hormones, low blood sugar and inability to cope with stress are the result. Milk depletes magnesium because the synthetic Vitamin D found in milk binds magnesium. Children who have epilepsy or tendency to convulsions only increase t he risk by drinking milk. Magnesium is necessary in high altitudes to lessen the effort of the heart which must work harder be-cause the small vessels of the lungs tend to constrict in higher altitudes. Magnesium makes a change in the process of such constriction. Processed foods could be the cause of exhausted people with so many nervous afflictions and with distorted thinking, because magnesium is destroyed in the processing of foods.

Tree Planting Marks Job Corps 50th Anniversary

By Jean Slade, Volunteer Intern, U.S. Forest Service National Forests in North Carolina…Local leaders joined with Forest Service officials and many others on Aug. 22, 2014 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Job Corps program. Dozens of people gathered for the celebration in front of the Scheck Job Corps administra-tion building which included a tree-planting ceremony. Following remarks, officials planted a dogwood tree in front of the building. Assisting in the tree planning was Derek Ibarguen, Pis-gah District Ranger on the Pisgah National Forest. Participating in the event were Schenck Job Corps Director Tammy Went-land, Transylvania County Man-ager Artie Wilson, Brevard Mayor Jimmy Harris and State Rep. Chris Whitmire. Acting di-rector of the U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station Jen-nifer Plyler and U.S. Forest Ser-vice National Forests in North Carolina Public Affairs Officer Stevin Westcott also provided remarks. Schenck students and Smokey Bear attended the cere-mony as well. “Fifty years ago, President Johnson started the Job Corp program to give less fortunate young people a chance at a better life,” said Westcott. “Hundreds of thousands of young adults have received training since the program began.” The special guest speaker was an actor portraying Dr. Carl A. Schenck, for whom the Job Corps Center is named after. Following the tree planting, Schenck Job Corp Center students provided tours of the facility. In addition, a student graduation ceremony was held from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Schenck JCC Gymnasium. Established in 1964, Job Corps is a free education and training program that helps young people learn a career, earn a high school diploma or GED, and find and keep a good job. For eligible young people at least 16 years of age that qualify as low income, Job Corps provides the all-around skills needed to succeed. Through a nationwide network of campuses, Job Corps offers a comprehensive array of career development services to at-risk young women and men, ages 16 to 24, to prepare them for successful careers. Job Corps employs a career development training approach which integrates the teaching of academic, vocational, em-ployability skills and social competencies through a combination of classroom, practical and based learning experiences to prepare youth for stable, long-term, high-paying jobs.

Psalms 119: 163-167 “I hate and abhor

lying; but thy law do I love. Seven times a

day do I praise thee because of thy right-

eous judgments. Great peace have they

which love thy law: and nothing shall of-

fend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy sal-

vation, and done thy commandments. My

soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love

them exceedingly.”

God is love, and He gave us a wonderful law

of love. If everyone in the world would en-

joy God‟s law, we would have a perfect

world of peace. Someday, when sin is all

finished, and no more violation of God‟s

law; we will live in a New Earth of perfect

peace. Even now, while we live in this

world, we can get to know God and keep

His laws. As you get to know God, you just

can‟t help but love Him. Everything about

God is right, holy, and pure. He is very

Truth; His Word is truth; and He is totally

righteous. His law is holy and good. The

Lord gave us His law because He loves us

and wants the best for us. Come to the

By the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office...On August 24, 2014 at 3:44 am, the Caldwell County Communications Center received a call of a pos-sible drowning on Lake Rhodhiss near the dam on the Caldwell County side of the lake. The caller stated that the victim and some friends were jumping into the lake from a rock cliff. Caller told investigators that the victim slipped and fell approximately 25 feet in to the water striking his head on the rocks as he fell. The vic-tim went under the water and never surfaced. Friends jumped in the water but were unable to locate the victim. Emergency responders located the victim‟s body at 8:00 am in approximately 35 feet of wa-ter. The investigation is still ongoing but at this point this appears to be an accident. The victim is identified as Gregory Paul Bor-deleau of Valdese, North Carolina. He is 40 years of age. Sheriff Alan Jones stated “this is a tragic acci-dent and our prayers go to his family and friends.”

Horse-Pulled Theater Coming To Lenoir September 20, 2014

ABOUT THE EVENT At the lumbering speed of 2.5 miles per hour, the Horse-Pulled Rural Academy Theater is making an-other tour through Western North Carolina, and will arrive in Lenoir on Saturday, September 20, 2014 for a FREE public performance starting at 8pm outdoors at the Mulberry Recreation Center, 720 Mul-berry Street, Lenoir, NC. Some seating is provided; feel free to bring your own comfortable folding chair. Part gypsy, part nouveau vagabond, the troop puts on quite the performance, both on stage and off. The horse-and-wagon-pulled performance troupe features live music, silent movies and shadow puppetry. This program is made possible by the City of Lenoir Parks & Recreation Department and the Caldwell Arts Council with a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council.

ABOUT THE HORSE-PULLED RURAL ACADEMY THEATER The Rural Academy Theater is a collaboration of individuals, two-legged & four-legged, creating theater for primarily rural audiences in response to the growing urbanization of our culture, economy, food, education, media, & art. The traveling troupe uses a horse drawn wagon to travel from town to town. Their performance uses puppets, a live band, and a bike that audience members ride to power a projector for silent films. "It's an hour long per-formance comprised of live music, puppetry, sculpture, dance, song," Gabe Harrell says. Their annual horse-pulled tour brings performers, musicians, sculptors, & dancers to town greens, college campuses, theaters, riverbanks, & farms via horse pulled wagon & bicycle power. They perform evenings of original theater under the stars or clouds using their wagon as their stage followed by a healthy dose of classic silent cinema ac-companied by the Rural Academy Orkestar. With live music throughout the show, the musicians set an eclectic tone they cheekily refer to as an “Appalachian-Balkan-Brass-Klezmer-Dixieland-String Ensem-

ble.” The group encounters a range of human reactions on the road - some scornful, some delightful. Harrell says, “You also get your incredi-bly generous people who can‟t believe that you‟re doing what you‟re doing. They invite you in and make you scratch biscuits and hot cocoa, and then ask you to spend the night. It‟s a real mix, but mostly it‟s really rewarding. It‟s incredible, generous people who are excited

about what we‟re doing.” Traveling by horse and wagon is as much a part of the performance as the show. When a caravan rolls into town, it‟s certainly a show-stopper. Harrell explains that a full day of travel for his troupe is 15 miles, so they attempt to perform at just about every other stop. Harrell would like people to come to the show closest to them, preferably by foot, bike or, er umm, horse.

SPREAD THE WORD Spread the word to your friends „up the mountain‟ - From Lenoir, the Rural Academy Theater will travel to Linville on September 23, Appalachian State University on September 25, Jones House in Boone on September 26 & then on to Lees-McRae College September 28. More of their schedule can be viewed at www.ruralacademytheater.com/upcoming/

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTS: Make plans. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Come see your favorite horse pulled theater in action this September/ October!! Bring your heart and we will fill it. Bring your brain and we will plant new seeds in it. Bring a bucket and we will send you home with fertilizer for your garden. A gift from our horses to your zinnias (and our theater makes the best veggies).

This program is brought to you by the City of Lenoir Parks & Recreation Department and the Caldwell Arts Council with a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. (Photos courtesy of Rural Academy Theater.)

Back to School Tips

Prepare your clothes the night before; the sur-est way to start the day off wrong is to have to hurry in the morning to get ready to leave.

Do you homework A.S.A.P.; the longer you put it off the harder it is to get motivated to do it.

Guard your mind; school can harm sound parental instruction if unguarded. Know your position on the Bible, creation and sexual matters etc. Be prepared to defend you convictions.

Set limits with your peers; walk away from sex talk or drug related topics. If you are of dating age set limits and boundaries that protect your reputation and would please God and ease your parent‟s mind. When your name comes up make others have to lie to smear you.

Stay focused; Trust me; school days will end soon. Get all of the quality education you can while you can. Life‟s issues will hit you soon enough.

Enjoy your school days; not many days go by but what I don‟t think of or are reminded of something that happened at school that causes me to laugh. School can be a joyous experience if you allow it to be.

Lastly; don‟t leave your parents in the dark; talk to them about what‟s going on at your school and in your life, they really do want to know.

Have a great school year!

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
