‘They gave their last full measure of devotion’ Guard members, loved ones gather to remember four airmen who lost their lives saving others ALAN HODGE Special to The Herald

Hundreds of family, friends, and fellow fliers gathered Tuesday, July 10 at the North Carolina Air National Guard 145th MAW base at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport to pay tribute to the four airmen based there who lost their lives in the crash of their C-130 plane while fighting wildfires in South Dakota.

The event was a heartfelt outpouring of grief and appreciation for Maj. Joe McCormick of Belmont, Maj. Ryan David of Boone, Lt. Col. Paul Mikeal of Mooresville, and Senior Master Sgt. Robert Cannon of Charlotte.

Sgt. Josh Marlowe of Boiling Springs and another crew member were also on board the C-130 and suffered injuries.

The four that lost their lives were eulogized by a number of their comrades, as well as civilian and military officials.

Governor Bev Perdue was one of the speakers.

The journey is about trusting ■ CHURCH in and leaning on God

Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor Kings Mountain Baptist Church One of the most famous Christian leaders of all time was the apostle Paul, and most believers know something of Paul’s story.

They know, for example, that his name was originally “Saul” and that he was a devoted Jew, who studied under a leading Rabbi named Gamaliel, and that he was a citizen of the Roman Empire.

They also know that Saul attempted to help stamp out a new first century religious movement made up of Jews who had chosen to follow what was known as “the way.” This “way” was the way of Jesus Christ, and the movement later became known as Christianity.

Many believers also know that Saul the persecutor had a lifetransforming encounter with the risen Jesus, an event that he expe-

rienced as an objective, face-toface encounter with the living Lord rather than a mere vision.

This experience is known as Paul’s “conversion” because it marked the beginning of a transformation that turned Saul the persecutor into Paul the apostle. Paul reports that after his encounter in Damascus he went away to “Arabia” and began a period described by some as the “unknown” years, a time when God was no doubt preparing him for his ministry of church planting that would follow.

Of the churches that Paul planted, the one in Corinth is among the most famous, and this is for good reason because we have two important letters from Paul to Corinth that have been preserved in our New Testament.

A careful reading of these letters shows that Paul’s relationship with the Corinthians was complex and characterized by love and warmth, as well as pain and anguish. Paul planted the church in Corinth sometime between A.D. 50 and 53, and after he had moved on he maintained his relationship with the church through the exchange of letters and word of mouth messages.

The letters preserved in our Bible are instructive for contem-

porary believers because they deal with some of the most important issues of Christian living. For example, Paul deals with church leadership, faithful worship (especially the observance of the Lord’s Supper), Christian ethics, and even conflict management. Paul also exposes his own frustrations in his relationships with those whom he led to faith in Jesus, as well as other preachers who proclaimed the gospel differently than he did and often caused both confusion and division among the Corinthians.

The Corinthian correspondence reflects a church leader in the process of growing and becoming, one who does not have all the answers but is trusting in the One who does. This is perhaps the most important quality about these letters, for they remind us that being a faithful follower of Jesus is a dynamic rather than a static experience, and we are all growing and becoming along the way. The journey is not always an easy one, of course, for it often includes pain, conflict, suffering and persecution, but as Paul learned, it is in our trusting in and leaning on God through all of this that we most experience the power of God.

All five of the Surrett children, their spouses, 19 grandchildren, and the pastor’s brother and family and her sister and family all walked into the sanctuary, a total of 40! They came from Minnesota, Missouri, Tulsa, Chicago, Raleigh, Savannah and Charlotte. Their son, Bryan, who is an assistant pastor in Minnesota, preached that night.

Saturday was a banquet filled with surprises and gifts including two big memory books, a vacation package for the entire family to Pigeon Forge, Tn., an American flag flown over the US capitol on June 27, the anniversary date, and a monetary gift.

Dr. Jerry Webber, a friend of the pastor, preached at the morning service and Dr. Surrett was the speaker at the evening worship hour. Much of the music was by their grandchildren, the church choir and visitors.

Pearson serves as Senate Page The North Carolina Senate was honored recently to have Alayna Marie Pearson, a student at Kings Mountain High School, serve as a Page. She is the daughter of Bobby and Traci Pearson of Kings Mountain. Alayna was sponsored by Senator Wes Westmoreland and appointed by the Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger of Rockingham County.

Statewide high school students in grades 9 through 12 serve as pages when the General Assembly is in session. They perform valuable duties for the Senators and their office staff. They attend daily Senate sessions, committee meetings, and assist staff members with office duties during the week they serve in the Legislature.

N. C. Rep. Tim Moore, John Harris and John O . Harris, left to right, are shown on a recent trip to Raleigh and the state legislature.

Sheffield leads Young Harris serves as Children's Day page on great-granddad’s program at Bynum old stomping grounds Brandon Christopher Sheffield led the Children's Day program, "Understanding the Mission: What Jesus Wants Me to Do - 'We Are God's Advertisements'" on Sunday, June 10, at Bynum Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church.

The program featured several hymns, including "We Are Standing on Holy Ground" and "Jesus Loves Me". Scripture from Psalm 139:14 and Mark 10:14-16 was read and Brandon pre-

SHEFFIELD

sented the message.

Brandon is the son of Alan Williams of Kings Mountain and Tasha Sheffield. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Della Hawkins of Bridgeport, Conn., and Helen Williams of Kings Mountain.

He is a student of Kings Mountain High School, and attends Bynum Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church where Rev. Sylvia Perry is the pastor.

Vacation tips for those dealing with dementia If you plan to travel with someone with dementia, you’re invited to the next meeting of the family caregiver support group at Life Enrichment Center in Shelby.

The meeting on July 17, which is free of charge and open to the public, will begin at 5:30 p.m. and con-

tinue until 7; although, families are encouraged to come when they can and leave as necessary. It is an informal group of family caregivers who are dealing with dementia.

Life Enrichment is an adult day health service, which has been caring for people with dementia for

32 years. For more information about the center or the family caregiver group, call 704.484.0405. The center is located at 110 Life Enrichment Blvd., just off Fallston Road between Teddy and Meekins law office and Cornerstone Dental Associates.

John Harris, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. John O. Harris of Kings Mountain, spent an interesting day recently visiting the North Carolina House and North Carolina Senate.

Rep. Tim Moore (R) of Kings Mountain had selected the rising 7th grader at Kings Mountain Intermediate School as a page for the day and young Harris had the opportunity to listen to a number of issues as the final hours of the two-year

■

legislative session that ended Tuesday.

The changed packed in the bills are awaiting approval of Governor Bev Perdue but one of the interesting changes was that schools could get a choice between fewer days, hours and that decision could benefit the summer tourism industry. If adopted, the states 115 school districts, including Cleveland County, would have the ability to set schedules that meet ei-

ther 185 classroom days or 1,025 classroom hours.

One highlight for young Harris was seeing and visiting the Chamber where his greatgrandfather the late Senator J. Ollie Harris Sr. sat in the North Carolina senate.

Young John said he would have plenty to tell his classmates when school starts in late August.

His father accompanied him to Raleigh.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Please do something about the playground Dear Editor, I have been taking my grandchildren to the park at the YMCA for several years. But this past year it is always so dirty. Today, June 26, when I took them, in the playhouse part near the dolphins with mist, I actually saw condom wrappers. I am sure they are still there.

Several weeks ago, maybe a month when a group of us took our kids, there were dirty diapers there, had been there 3 weeks we knew of. Trash everywhere. One

of the mothers actually called city hall and complained so much, they sent a crew out to clean.

Who is responsible for the playground? No one seems to be taking care of the trash. Have teenagers took over at night or what? I cannot believe some people are so nasty. I did not want my grandkids playing were someone has been having sex.

I also hate it when we are there and all these big kids come in running, they run over small kids. What age group is this park

for? I know this is hard to control, but no one seems to be keeping an eye on it. I think it should be 12 and under…at least. Also a man must have designed this playground. No where to sit and NO SHADE. Of course I know if I do not like it I do not have to go. But lots of people use this park. I think we are going to have to get together and do something.

Thanks for letting me vent.

FILM FEST: to feature telling documentaries and gripping dramas, starting July 18 at Joy Theatre FROM Page 1

home as Morganton, Greensboro and Rocky Mount will be showing their films during the four-day festival.

As rising health care costs threaten to bankrupt the country, the one-hour-25-minute documentary "Money and Medicine" tackles the medical, ethical and financial challenges of containing runaway health care spending. In addition to illuminating the so-called waste and over-treatment that pervade the medical system, the documentary explores ways to reduce health care expenditures and improve the quality of medical care.

It investigates the controversy surrounding diagnostic testing and screening as well as the shocking treatment variations among patients receiving a variety of elective procedures. The film, by Roger Weisberg of Palisades, NY, will be the last to show on the night of Friday, July 20th.

"After I Pick the Fruit" is a documentary (1:33) that follows the lives of five immigrant farm worker women over a 10-year period. Cameras roll as they labor in the apple orchards of rural western New York, migrate seasonally to Florida, raise their families and try to hide from the Bushera immigration raids that came after September 11, 2001.

Director Nancy Ghertner of Sodus, NY, says the film "will change the way you look at our national immigration problem." The film will be the first to show at the July 21st, Saturday matinee at 1 p.m.

Filmmaker Harvey Hubbell V, one of 35 million Americans who have dyslexia, explores the developmental reading disorder in his 81-minute documentary set to show at the Saturday matinee.

Rocky Mount filmmaker Ken Wyatt's nearly 40-minutelong documentary, "Colored Confederates: Myth or Matter of Fact?" is set to show on opening night of the festival,

Wednesday, July 18. The film hashes out the one-and-ahalf-century-old debate on whether or not blacks fought for the South in the War Between the States.

"I do films that I want to see on the screen and (on topics) that people avoid talking about," said Wyatt, whose documentaries have been screened in more than 100 locations from film festivals to i-Max and drive-in theaters.

The former music critic got into filmmaking in the first half of the 1990s, producing music documentaries. He was quickly hooked.

"I can't remember when I didn't want to make films since then," he said. "I love it."

Wyatt's company, WyattWorks, has produced a number of award-winning documentaries, including "Pray for Eric" - an inside look at local reactions to "Olympic Park Bomber" Eric Rudolph, and "One of a Kind: Rufus Harley - the world's greatest jazz bagpiper".

"If the topic keeps calling you, you have to do it," he said, adding that people should be surprised at what they learn with "Colored Confederates" screening Wednesday.

"I learned a lot."

Wyatt plans to attend the screening and hold a Questionand-Answer session after his film airs.

Producers and filmmakers of six movies are planning to attend the festival and offer Q&A sessions.

Filmmaker Rob Underhill of Raleigh is set to attend and lead a Q&A session after his hour-long documentary, "DAR HE: The Lynching of Emmett Till". One man performs the 36 roles in the film telling the true tragic story of Emmett Till, a man whose murder sparked the Civil Rights Movement.

"DAR HE: The Lynching of Emmett Till" has won Underhill nine best film and actor awards, six accolades for writing and other honors and six nominations in festivals

VOLUNTEERS: needed to help family rebuild charred home FROM Page 1 two-year-old great granddaughter, Summer Bell, and Summer's mother, Angela Walker, before the fire. Powell awoke to intense heat at 5:30 a.m. June 27 and saw a wall of flames. The 60-yearold caretaker rushed every-

one outside to safety.

The fire is thought to have sparked from burning embers that remained in a charcoal grill used the night before for a cook-out celebrating Summer's second birthday.

The fire extended into the bedrooms at the back of the house, burned the deck away

and smoke-damaged the rest of the house. Perry Davis of the Cleveland County Fire Marshal's Office said the house can be rebuilt.

Because of heavy smoke and Williams' breathing problems, she has not been able to stay inside the house.

The family was tarping the carport last week for tempo-

rary shelter.

"I've been praying a lot," said Kerry McKenzie, Williams' last surviving daughter, who has been working on clearing out the damaged furniture from the house. "Mama never thought she'd be homeless. She's worried."

Williams, who has raised her grandchildren since the 1998 murder of her daughter, Dawn Bell, had no insurance to cover the costs of repairs or lost items. Her social security check of $600 only pays the very minimum of expenses. The house will have to be re-inspected once renovations are complete.

Alliance Bank & Trust is accepting donations to the Vivian Williams Help Fund at its branches in Kings Mountain, Shelby and Gastonia. The family will need furnishings, food and clothing once the house is repaired.

To find out how you can help, call Kerry McKenzie at 704-905-7908.

FAMILY: mourns loss of National Guard Airman Robbie Cannon FROM Page 1 doing. He said that although "Robbie's" job took him away from his family often, he always communicated with them in emails and never forgot holidays and birthdays.

"We communicated quite well and he understood the partnership we had in raising the children," said Melanie Russ Cannon, his wife of 22 years. "Our level of trust was great and grew over time, enabling the family to weather the challenges of separation heartily, whenever it occurred."

Mrs. Cannon, son, Alex, 17, and daughter, Madeline, 15, adapted to the travel and work schedule, knowing it was for the greater good of the family and the country, the family said.

"He was proud of his job and he was good at it. We

were proud of him as he attained a designation as an aviator," said Cannon's stepmother, Sandra Whetstine Russ.

Cannon served six terms of 30-120 days in Afghanistan. He had flown to Kuwait and into the Baghdad International Airport about 30 times and to a majority of all the countries of the world. He spent the past Christmas on a 120-day mission to Afghanistan.

As they shared family pictures at their home, Jim and Sandra Russ tearfully remembered the joyful times.

"We didn't see Robbie in uniform, he was always in casual wear doing and enjoying things with the children."

Their grandson Alex was involved in sports and their granddaughter Madeline was in Girl Scouts and loved to ride horses. The family is ac-

tive in Carmel Baptist Church in Charlotte.

Sgt. Cannon joined the Air National Guard shortly after graduating from Harding High School in Charlotte. Several years later, he met his wife of 22 years through a mutual acquaintance. He is the son of Robert Cannon of Charlotte and the late Ruby Cannon and has a sister, Teresa Cannon Wrenn of Charlotte, a niece, Stephanie Fowler of Aiken, SC and a nephew, Richie Fowler of Charlotte.

Melanie Russ Cannon is also the daughter of Alice Whechel of Gaffney, SC and stepdaughter of Rick Whechel. She has a step-sister, Jennifer Nix and a stepbrother, Michael Nix, both of Gaffney. She is employed as a supervisor at Mecklenburg Mental Health Department. She is a graduate of Burns High in Cleveland

County and, in 1986, graduated from East Carolina University.

Alex Cannon is a rising senior at East Mecklenburg High School. Madeline Cannon is a rising sophomore at EMHS. The four families of deceased airmen gathered Monday night at Air National Guard at Charlotte's Douglas International Airport where the 447th Airlift Wing is based. On Tuesday morning a private memorial service was held at the air base.

A Celebration of Life Service for M/Sgt. Cannon will be scheduled at Carmel Baptist Church in Charlotte where he was a member.

FROM Page 1 “I am humbled to be here today,” she said. “They were true heroes and great sons of North Carolina. Time after time they strapped themselves into their aircraft to protect people they didn’t know. We can’t bring them back, but as a state and a people we can remember them.”

Referring to the four fliers, Perdue also quoted a line from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

“They gave their last full measure of devotion,” she said.

Joining officials at the memorial were flight crew members from other Air National Guard units based as far away as California, Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, and Indiana.

To a man, McCormick, David, Mikeal, and Cannon were remembered as loyal sons, husbands, fathers, and soldiers.

Illustrating this, a video of photographs showing each man with his family and on duty was displayed on a large screen in the hangar where the ceremony took place. The looks of joy on each one’s face as he held his wife or child, or climbed into a C-130 for action spoke volumes about their character.

After Gov. Perdue presented family members of the crewmen with state flags, everyone went outdoors to the 145th’s Memorial Mall for prayers, scripture reading, and the playing of “Amazing Grace” by the Charlotte Fire Department pipers.

An especially moving moment came when two C-130 aircraft flew out of the clouds and low over the field with one banking sharply to the side and upward in the “missing man” formation. A 21-gun salute and the playing of “Taps” concluded an event that deeply touched everyone present and really drove home the point of how close the bond between the 1500 members of the 145th MAW really is and how important, and sometimes perilous, the job they do can be.

across the country and in Berlin so far. His films have been screened in festivals and locations around the globe.

"This is my first feature film release and first work on exposition at Real to Reel," Underhill said.

"I suppose you can call 'DAR HE' a semi-documentary.

It opens with several minutes of authentic 1955 and 1956 footage of Money County Mississippi, shots of the town, uncle Mose's cabin (Emmett's uncle whom he was staying with when he was abducted), the trial, lots of amazing rare footage that was donated by Frank Beaman," he said.

"The film has experimental elements. Foremost obvious is the use of one actor, a very talented and versatile one, to play all of the 36 roles in the film, Mike Wiley," he added.

"I first learned of Emmett Till when I was filming "Empty Space" (2009) with Mike Wiley."

Wiley handed him a one-man-show script of "Dar He: The Story of Emmett Till" and he was "truly moved".

"I know about lynchings but I grew up in Michigan, and Emmett Till was not part of the curriculum. I knew I needed to affect others in the North and anywhere really where people were that did not know the story," he said.

Underhill has had more than 10 years production experience, directing, producing, writing and editing feature films, TV pilots, music videos, short-films, commercials and more.

Films begin at 7 p.m. each night and at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Ticket costs are $8 per day or $30 for a festival pass granting everyday access. Not all films may be appropriate for all ages.

KMHS scholarship to honor memory of Coach John Blalock A committee made up of former Compact and Kings Mountain High athletes, teachers and friends of Coach John Blalock is raising funds to endow a scholarship in Coach Blalock’s memory.

Coach Blalock, a longtime successful men’s basketball coach at Compact and KMHS, passed away in December, 2011. Blalock coached numerous championship teams at both schools, and his final team at KMHS in 1983 was the only team in school history to end the season ranked as the #1 team in the state.

According to one of the committee’s organizers and a former basketball player under Coach Blalock, John K. McGill, the committee’s goal is to raise $10,000

JOHN BLALOCK

from which an annual scholarship of $500 will be awarded a college-bound graduating senior from KMHS “who best demonstrates Coach Blalock’s outstanding qualities.”

“He was a powerful presence on the bench always exhorting his team,” McGill said. “He demanded the best from his players, who respected him and did what was expected, both on and off the court.

“He strived for excellence not only as a coach, but also in the classroom.

He was an outstanding biology teacher who always worked hard and was wellprepared. He expected the very best of his students in the classroom as well. He was well-respected in the community, and around

North Carolina in basketball circles.”

Steve Southwell, a committee member and another former player under Coach Blalock, called him an “innovator” who was a “master at adapting his teams to match their strengths.”

“Life lessons I learned from Coach Blalock were mainly about being a good person, respecting yourself and your teammates, believing in yourself, bettering yourself on an off the court and pushing yourself beyond your own limits,” Southwell said.

“You hear the word icon and it’s really thrown around too often these days,” he added. “With Coach Blalock it’s really appropriate. He set a standard for coaching basket-

ball with the amount of time he put in, the success we had, and by winning so many games. To this day I never knew what he saw in me, but I’m so thankful he never gave up on me.”

The committee urges all persons who played for, taught with and knew Coach Blalock as fans and friends in the community to take part in the scholarship effort.

All contributions are tax-deductible. Make your check payable to Kings Mountain High School for “Coach Blalock Scholarship” and mail to Kings Mountain High School, 500 Phifer Road, Kings Mountain, NC 28086; attention Frankie Webster Financial Secretary, before November 1, 2012.

Kings Mountain Auction celebrates new location in old Spectrum plant

EMILY WEAVER / HERALD

A crowd gathers to cut the ribbon of Kings Mountain Auction's newest location inside the old Spectrum Dyed Yarn plant.

Jason Falls, owner of Kings Mountain Auction, welcomed a crowd to his new auction house inside the former Spectrum Dyed Yarn plant at 11 a.m. Thursday. The two-anda-half-year-old business has grown into its third location, occupying 15,000-square-feet of the old plant - plenty of room for the dealers, wares and crowds that continue to grow in numbers.

More than 2,200 families from 20 different states have attended a Kings Mountain Auction, hosted by licensed auctioneer Jason

Falls.

Annual sales at the auction house have ballooned in excess of a half-million dollars.

And the young business has raised more than $12,000 for local non-profits.

Kings Mountain Auction started in a 3,000-square-foot facility. It moved into a 7,000-square-foot home on York Road that could seat up to 300 guests before it found its new home that will let them accommodate up to 400 buyers.

"We provide a fun, family-friendly place

for people to be able to buy and sell items.

All are welcome," Falls told the crowd at a ribbon cutting for the auction's new home Thursday.

On average, he said, they sell one item every 20 seconds and 99 percent of the items offered for auction are sold.

Kings Mountain Auction sells everything from groceries to antiques. Grocery auctions are held on the first Monday of every month.

On July 23, KMA will hold a furniture sale with new and used furniture.

Auctions are held every Monday, Friday and Saturday beginning at 7 p.m. Auctions tend to run until 11 or 12 o'clock. The longest auction they held, Falls said, lasted eight hours.

Falls plans to begin holding car auctions soon. Concessions at auctions are provided

by Town & Country BBQ. Kings Mountain Auctions can be found online on Facebook and AuctionZip.

Boy Scouts dive into Florida Adventure Six Boy Scouts from Troop 92, sponsored by First Baptist Church, Kings Mountain, spent part of their summer vacation at the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base, a facility in the Florida Keys that is owned and operated by Boy Scouts of America. Sea Base is on Lower Matecumbe Key in Islamorada. These high adventure programs provide Boy Scouts a unique opportunity to explore, experience, and enjoy the great outdoors.

The scouts attending for their SCUBA certification were: Austin Anthony, Gregory Grabert, Kyle Carroll, Jordan Bullins, Nicholas Matola, and Ryan Perkins.

They were accompanied by Thomas Matola and Michael Bullins, both assistant Scout Masters with Troop 92.

After completion of a

swim review, scouts were issued dive equipment and then began courses that were divided into academic knowledge development (conducted in a classroom), confined-water skills development (conducted in custom built Scuba training pools), and finally four open water skill dives and five pleasure dives. All of the scouts earned SCUBA certification and completed the AWARE Coral Reef Conservation course from the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI), a world renowned and recognized agency.

While mastering the skills you must know to be a safe diver, they explored the diverse eco-system of the fabulous Florida Keys, the only living coral reef system in the continental US. They

had the opportunity to explore different habitats and reef structures, like Alligator and Davis Reef, where they saw numerous varieties of fish, eels, sea horses, and conch shells. The visibility in the summer ranges from 40 feet to over 100 feet depending on the weather.

The scouts also visited Key West, where they had their picture taken at the Southern Most Point, enjoyed the fabulous sunset, and dined at Margaritaville.

At the end of their voyage, they enjoyed a tropical luau, where scouts performed skits, dined on exotic foods, and shared fellowship.

All of the boys agreed that it was a memorable experience and they had a lot of fun and were never bored.

Fungal Nail Infections

Nine students from Cleveland Community College will receive scholarships through the Golden LEAF Scholarship program for the North Carolina Community College System. The Golden LEAF Scholarship program, designed to help North Carolinians attend the state’s community colleges, is funded through a $750,000 grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation, an increase of $250,000 from previous years.

The following students were awarded scholarships: Alejandro Basshart, Cara Ervin, Juleigh Gilbert, Travis Gryder, Franklin McAlister, Jose Mejia, Bobby Neal, Jennifer Regan, and Jane Turner.

The Golden LEAF Board recognized the challenge

North Carolinians face in these tough economic times to attend college to retool and prepare for emerging job opportunities. Therefore, the additional $250,000 will insure more scholarship funds are available for citizens seeking to enhance their employability skills.

The scholarship can be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation and childcare expenses related to attending classes during the 2012-13 academic year. Eligible students must demonstrate financial need and reside in rural counties that are tobaccodependent and/or economically distressed. Scholarships are available for both occupational and curriculum students and are awarded during the

A fungal nail infection occurs when a fungus attacks a fingernail, a toenail, or the skin under the nail, called the nail bed.

If you are healthy, a fungal nail infection probably won't cause serious problems. But it may look bad, hurt, or damage your nail or nail bed. Talk to your doctor about the best way to treat a nail infection if you have one of these diabetes or a weak immune system.

What causes a fungal nail infection? Yeasts, molds, and different kinds of fungi can cause fungal nail infections. Most are caused by the same type of fungus that causes athlete's foot. Fungi grow best in warm, moist places, and they can spread from person to person. You can get a fungal nail infection from walking barefoot in public showers or pools or by sharing personal items, such as towels and nail clippers.

What are the symptoms? A nail with a fungal infection may: Turn yellow or white; Get thicker; Crumble and split, and it may separate from the skin.

How is it treated? Whether to treat a fungal nail infection is up to you. If it is not treated, it won't go away, and it might get worse. But fungal infections can be hard to treat. If you do treat it, you could spend a lot of money, and the treatment might not work.

If you decide to treat a fungal nail infection, you can try an antifungal cream, lotion, or nail polish.

“The Golden LEAF Foundation is proud to have awarded over 4,800 Golden LEAF Scholarships to help North Carolinians attend our state’s community colleges,” said Dan Gerlach, Golden LEAF President. “Our hope is that these scholarships will help build the talent, knowledge and skills of our current and future workforce, especially in the rural areas of our state.”
