Griffin Drug Center, the city's oldest drug store and a Kings Mountain business for nearly a century, is closing at 6 p.m. Wednesday, August 4.

Pharmacist and owner Harold Bolick has sold the business to Rite Aid Pharmacy, 601 East King Street, but will retain the building and announce plans for it at a later date.

Bolick purchased the business and the building 27 years ago after the retirement of Wilson Griffin.

Ellerbe W. Griffin, Wilson's father, founded the drug store in 1919.

Bolick, a graduate of Hudson High School and the University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy, has been a pharmacist for 48 years, working previously in both his hometown of Hudson and also in Earl. He will work part time at Rite Aid Pharmacy. He and his wife

Mayor Scott Neisler is lobbying for passenger rail service in Kings Mountain that would make stops NEISLER in Gastonia, Charlotte International Airport, Salisbury, and the capital in Raleigh.

He is pitching the project to other members of the Metropolitan Planning Organization and to elected officials in Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties.

“It might be 3-4 years

before a study can be made but with conversations with other folks this could be the start of passenger train stops from KM to points north in 5-7 years,'' said the mayor.

The mayor also has some ideas for the site of a train terminal in the city and how to obtain funds and has been talking to a number of state transportation officials and pitching Kings Mountain as a bedroom community.

“We need more housing in Kings Mountain and this would be a sure way to entice more folks to live in the city,'' said Neisler. And

wouldn't it be great not to drive to the airport and park your car?

Neisler, who took the helm of city government as mayor again after 15 years, pitches a pro active program to the seven member city council and sees the city getting some dollars from the state to move transportation programs.

He said the state owns trains that could be extended in giving expanded service from Kings Mountain to Charlotte.

The mayor said there are only eight miles of single track between Kings Mountain and Charlotte and it

would take about $40 million to build a double track, $5 million a mile. He hasn't approached Norfolk-Southern officials yet about his idea of a double track.

There is a North Carolina train that currently picks up passengers at the Charlotte terminal for round trip Raleigh destination.

“I am excited and people I've talked to are excited,'' says the mayor. He is initiating the idea which will take resources, a track, a passenger train and a terminal. And, he says he will continue pitching the idea to government leaders in a wide area and legislators.

Demetrius Hill receives over $100,000 in college scholarships For Demetrius Hill, a 2016 graduate of Kings Mountain High School, hard work paid off — he can now go to college as long as he wants without worrying about any student loans or debt.

Hill was named as a Gates Millennium Scholarship winner this year, a program for students who excel in the classroom and plan to study a subject in college underrepresented by minorities.

The scholarship covers both undergraduate and graduate programs in the areas of computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health, or science.

The application required students to have a minimum of 3.3 GPA and included many essays for students to complete. Hill’s scholarship is estimated to be worth over $96,000 and allows him to go to any school of his choice.

He will attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the fall with a pre-health focus. He hopes eventually to attend UNC-Chapel Hill’s Eshelman School of Pharmacy.

“This scholarship means so much to me because I am blessed enough to be able to go to college and not pay for it, which is a luxury that most people don’t have,” he said.

Over 50,000 students applied for the scholarship, and Hill was one of only 1,000 to receive it. He also received a $12,000 Golden LEAF scholarship, a $7,000 Dover scholarship, a $2,000 Cecil Prince scholarship, an A. Mickey Church Scholarship from Cleveland County Schools

Some of the artifacts at Griffin Drug Store are pictured and include a variety of items.

DEMETRIUS HILL Educational Foundation, and more.

On top of being a member of the National Honor Society and Beta Club, Hill also maintained a 4.83 GPA and played basketball all four years of high school, and he was an all-conference player his senior year.

“It was very hard to balance basketball and schoolwork when the season came around, and I had a lot of sleepless nights, but it was worth the hard work,” he said.

All of Hill’s success did not come without help, though. He said Nick Inman, math teacher and JV basketball coach at KMHS, was the faculty member who helped him most throughout high school.

“He helped a lot with the transition to high school and taught me a lot while I was still learning about myself,” said Hill. “He’s also a genius.”

Inman, who spoke about Hill at this year's Teaching Excellence Awards, said Hill was a fantastic individual.

"He might be the most dedicated individual to buy into the concept of making small, daily improvements to achieve the highest goals," Inman said. "He constantly makes himself a better man with each passing day. As long as he decides to continue with that concept, he will be an insurmountable force in the world."

Hill said he also received help from Jill Cruise, a guidance counselor at KMHS, and his mom throughout the whole scholarship process.

“Mrs. Cruise and my mom are the ones who searched endlessly for scholarships in order to take the load off of me and other students as well, so they deserve a lot of credit for me even being considered for any scholarship,” he said.

“I’m very thankful for everyone who has helped me.”

Virginia and Belle Bolick.

Lucy Bolick is cataloging and inventorying stock this week and also “old stuff stored upstairs” which is becoming conversation pieces for customers and visitors to the store this week. The historical artifacts are being offered for sale. There is everything from old medicine bottles to dolls, candy, signs, and WKMT paraphernalia that are linked to the Griffin days in the drug store.

Griffin Drug has remained open under the same name, though under new ownership, for 97 years at 129 Mountain Street in Kings Mountain. Bolick bought the store at the retirement of Wilson Griffin, Jr. who joined his dad in the business and worked there until he retired in February, 1985. Harold Bolick retained the firm name after buying the business that year.

The drug store has been regarded by patrons and residents of the city as an “institution” in Kings Mountain. It has changed very little since the late 1950s when downtown had three independent drug stores and students walked from Central School

More artifacts accumulated over the years are pictured.

LIB STEWART PHOTOS to the drug store every day for lunch and numerous employees from time to time were soda jerks serving Griffin specialty hot dogs, sandwiches and milk shakes.

The late Myra P rice and the late Steve Rathbone were among veteran employees who worked many years at Griffin Drug. Rathbone delivered medicine all over town on his bike.

Dave Baity, writing in “Tracks Through Time,'' a history of the city of Kings Mountain, 1874-2005, wrote that '' after moving to Kings Mountain in 1919, Griffin bought the old Carpenter drug firm on

Mountain Street. The first location of Griffin Drug was adjacent to the present site, and organizations such as the Knights of Pythia, Woodmen of the World and the Infinite Order of Redmen, met in a large room on the second floor of the building. That building burned in 1936 and was rebuilt in 1937. In 1953, Griffin bought the old Patterson Grocery next door and moved there. E.W. (Doc) Griffin was an unofficial veterinarian because he was as well known for his caring of pets and livestock as for the pharmacy he opened in 1919.''

Quote of the week

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

– Duke Ellington

Pieces of Kings Mountain History “Liberty Mountain: A Revolutionary Drama” kicked-off its third season on June 24th.

With COZART all the festivities that are a part of “opening night”, crowds swarmed into the Joy Performance Theater eager to see what new surprises were in store for this year’s performance.

I didn’t attend the opening night, because I planned to attend the SAR / DAR night the very next evening. Doyle Campbell, Past President of the Battle of Kings Mountain SAR Chapter mentioned to me that he had a block of seats for the second night’s performance and had invited SAR dignitaries from the State and National level to attend.

So, I got hard to work inviting DAR members to experience the performance too.

I was keenly interested in having our North Carolina State Regent, Elizabeth Candler Graham, attend because she had an ancestor from Georgia who fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Once the State Regent agreed, DAR members from near and far signed-up to attend the event with her.

Doyle Campbell had arranged for a catered barbeque dinner and managed all the reservations.

(Now I say Doyle did this, but we all know that behind every good man is a strong woman. Anita Campbell was right there with Doyle making sure everything was perfect.) Needless to say, the dinner Keith Falls prepared was excellent, from the barbeque pork and chicken right down to the banana pudding.

NCSDAR State Regent Elizabeth Candler Graham with playwright Bob Joy Performance Theatre marquee for the Revolutionary War drama “Lib- Inman. erty Mountain.”

I estimate that 90+ SAR and DAR members attended that night; the DAR probably had 40 members alone. We even had some quests who forgot to register, but we managed to accommodate them and a good time was had by all. I’m sure this caused Doyle and Anita some stress, but they handled it graciously.

The performance was amazing and the DAR daughters loved it. The State Regent commented how good the performers were and how wonderful it was that Kings Mountain and the Little Theater were keeping the story alive through the theater arts.

Elizabeth Graham especially loved the serenade just prior to the main performance. She was so thoroughly impressed that she promised to promote “Liberty Mountain” at our State Conference in Durham next spring!

I’m sure that in the not-to-distant future, “Liberty Mountain” will become one of those performances you just can’t get a ticket

Looking back From the July 14, 1983 edition of the Kings Mountain Herald Kings Mountain citizens will go to the polls Tuesday to decide whether or not to legalize the sale of beer, wine and liquor in the Kings Mountain city limits.

This is the third alcohol referendum in 16 years in the city. Voters in 1967 and 1975 failed by narrow margins.

The third public auction of the Compact School property will be held Thursday morning at 11 a.m. at the site.

The bidding will begin at 456,225. George Jackson currently holds the highest bid.

William Eugene McCarter Jr. received his B.S. Degree in com-

mencement exercises at Appalachian State University. He is certified to teach Industrial Arts in Junior and Senior High and currently is employed as a draftsman at Talbert, Cox and Associates in Charlotte.

Jason Sizemore celebrated his fifth birthday June 14, 1983 at a party at the home of his grandparents, Sesko and Betty White.

Timms Furniture was advertising a special sale on GE ranges, refrigerators and microwave ovens.

Plonk Brothers was advertising men’s summer suits 1/3 off and boy’s summer suits ½ price.

to without purchasing it a year in advance. I certainly hope this is the case, because the more people who see it, the farther the story of this battle is shared.

“Huzzah!” to men and women who make this play possible, from Bob Inman and Caleb Sigmon to Erica Carpenter and the rest of the cast who bring life to the story. And, a special thank you to Jim Champion and those people you don’t see onstage who are driven to deliver a quality experience for the audience. We know it requires hours of hard work and dedication to make it appear so effortless. And, to Gilbert Patrick and the Patrick Yarn Mills Incorporated, we offer you a special “Huzzah!” We cannot thank you enough!

And, a final “Huzzah!” to Doyle and Anita Campbell for arranging the SAR / DAR night at “Liberty Mountain”. I feel quite confident that this will become an annual tradition for our SAR and DAR members.

A small group of DAR members stayed after the play to get a photo with Bob Inman and State Regent Elizabeth Graham. Bob has his hand on Graham’s shoulder.

Let us do our part to remember those who won for us our freedom. Our greatest tribute should be to keep the story alive for future generations, as was done by all those who performed in prior incarnations of this epic story; “Sword of Gideon” and

“Then Conquer We Must”. If we successfully do our part to remember and share this story with others, then future generations will not forget the freedom that was won for us in one brief hour on Liberty Mountain.

Oh listen up dear friend if we all could just go to the sink and wash our hands of our careless errors, how wonderful that would be! The problem is that most of the time extremely careless mistakes never go away. If you are in politics the media will make sure they never go away.

I wonder how many people have received a job promotion for being extremely careless? Hillary could get a big one this Fall.

Whatever you do today do not look to Hillary’s error as an example for conducting your life. Try to do everything by the book, the letter of the law or whatever your job description is because chances are very likely, unlike Hillary, you’ll face consequences.

Scripture tells us that “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint,” (Isaiah 40:31 NIV). Basically, when we wait for the arrival of Christ, in any situation, we should be twitching with expectancy and anticipation.

When the arrival is within

I do not know about you, but I sure could use that kind of energy, excitement and anticipation in my life. In fact, if I knew that kind of joy was right around the corner, I might be asking more often—“are we there yet?”

God bless you this summer as you travel. May you find the rest and relaxation that you were looking for, and from one traveler to another—I trust that your travel plans include the hope in the Lord.

Tales from the Golden Wedding Day Farmers Market

for Hamricks June 4 Donna (Vee) and Edwin R. Hamrick celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary June 4, 2016 at a dinner party planned by their daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Dallas Stacey at Logan's in Gastonia.

Twelve family members attended.

The Kings Mountain couple also took a trip with Christian Tours of Newton to Niagara Falls and the Amish Country June 11-16 as an anniversary celebration.

Eddie Hamrick and Donna Vee Wilson were wed June 4, 1966 in a ceremony in East Gold Street Wesleyan Church with the late Rev. Clyde Goodson officiating. Kings Mountain natives, they started dating their senior year in high school and got married on June 4, 1966, the day after Donna’s Kings Mountain High school graduation exercises. Hamrick served during the Vietnam era with the United States Army stationed at Fort Myers in Virginia and worked at The Pentagon in Washington, DC and the Hamricks resided for two years in Alexandria, Va. Eddie, also, worked at Fiber Industries in Shelby for 8 years. Eddie retired six years ago from Daimler (Freightliner of Gastonia) after 31 years of employment.

MR. AND MRS. EDWIN R. HAMRICK celebrate Golden Wedding Day Donna Vee, also retired, about six years ago after working at Hamrick's in Kings Mountain for 16 ½ years, Grover Industries for nine years and Matthew Belk of Gastonia for five years.

TURNING THE TIDE OF WAR” Thursday at KM Historical Museum A presentation and book-signing by Ken Anderson, who has written the novel, “Turning the Tide of War,'' will be held Thursday, July 14, at 5:30 p.m. at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum.

Admission is free and the public is invited.

“Turning the Tide of War” is a true-life adventure novel which follows the story of the Battle of Kings Mountain as it unfolded in 1780. At a time when the Revolutionary War seemed to be a lost cause to the Patriots fighting for their freedom to live in a land they had forged from wilderness, the Battle of Kings Mountain would turn the tide of war and lead to Patriot victory.

The book focuses on

Josh Mosby, Chief of Scouts of the Patriot forces, and the strange turn of events which forces him to choose whether to save his family or to lead the Patriots to find the enemy.

This program is presented in conjunction with the museum’s current exhibit, “Turning Point: The Battle of Kings Mountain,” which will be on display June 18 – October 15, 2016, open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Admission is free. Call 704-739-1019 to schedule group tours of this free exhibit.

The museum describes the exhibit: Inspire your patriotic pride as you learn about the victory that marked the turning point of the American

Revolution. Original artifacts will draw you into the triumphs and tragedies of the lives surrounding the Battle of Kings Mountain, a conflict that brutally pit brother against brother in the Carolina Piedmont frontier in 1780.

Displays relating to annual celebrations of the Battle of Kings Mountain reflect the spirit of their time and an enduring commitment to commemorate those who bravely changed the course of American history.

To find out more about upcoming exhibits and events, please visit www. kingsmountainmuseum. org or call 704-739- 1019.

Storms a’ Brewing

The dark clouds rolled in over Patriot’s Park as our fearless vendors set up for the market. Actors from Liberty Mountain dressed in period costumes sang to our impending doom as the first drops of rain began to fall.

But not all was lost! Loyalists to the market ventured out to patronize the farmer’s offerings of produce, meat, and eggs as they stood their ground against the raging storm.

In the POP program we learned about different foods and cultures. Hummus was at the table for sampling with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and flat bread from 238 Pizzeria. Though the origin of hummus is controversial, the first documented mention of hummus and its recipe came from Egypt. Whether it came from Egypt, Greece or another area of the Middle East, it is the food of Gods that not only tastes wonderful but is nutritional; containing dietary fiber, protein, carbohydrates, B vitamins, manganese and other nutrients. The following recipe is from PBS so jump into the kitchen and whip up a batch

Nancy Fichter today!

Ingredients 3 cups canned chickpeas (1 28 oz. can) drained and rinsed • 2 large cloves of garlic peeled and crushed • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 2 teaspoons ground cumin • 1/4 cup lemon juice • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 1/2 cup water • Pinch of chili pepper (optional) • 1 teaspoon paprika Directions 1. Check with a grownup and wash your hands before you begin.

2. Put all the ingredients in a blender (except the water and paprika.)

3. Use the puree setting

on the blender to mix everything until it is smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, turn off the blender, and drizzle in a little water (up to 1/2 cup) and puree again until it’s the right texture for dipping.

4. Turn off the blender and wait until it has completely stopped. Use a spatula to scrape all the hummus into a shallow bowl.

5. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top, and sprinkle it with paprika.

6. Clean up the kitchen before you dig into your yummy hummus dip — or as I call it, yummus!

Try it with pita bread strips, or with fresh carrots, peppers and cucumbers. It’s great on a sandwich, too!

The City of Kings Mountain and RPM Music would like to thank the musicians from Liberty Mountain for opening up last Thursday’s Farmer’s Market. RPM Music is happy you’ll be back singing and dancing for this Thursday’s Market too.

We invite everyone to come out to The City of Kings Mountain and RPM Music’s PRODUCE MUSIC series which features Live Music in downtown Kings Mountain every Thursday.

Help plants survive sizzling summer heat Make the most of mulching Many people consider summer the most enjoyable time of year, as the summer sun and warm breezes make the season perfect for rest and relaxation. But the months of June, July and August, which are often characterized by rising temperatures and stifling humidity, can be tough to endure as well.

When summer heat becomes especially uncomfortable, humans can simply head indoors and beat the heat in air conditioned buildings and homes. Plant life is not so lucky, and homeowners may need to take steps to help the plant life on their properties survive the summer heat.

• Monitor soil moisture.

Soil moisture, or a lack thereof, can help homeown-

ers determine if their plants are struggling to survive the heat. To check soil moisture levels, use a ruler or even your finger, sticking either two inches into the ground where you suspect the soil is drying out. If the soil is damp two inches below the surface, then your plants are likely retaining enough moisture to withstand the heat. If the soil is dry two inches below, then you may want to give the soil a deep soak.

• Keep an eye on container gardens. Containers may have an especially difficult time staying moist in the summer heat. That’s particularly true for containers that sit in direct sunlight. Water container gardens daily during summer heat waves, being sure to adhere to any

local water restrictions.

• Lay down mulch. Mulch helps insulate and protect soil during summer, when soil can quickly dry out. When applied correctly (ideally before summer temperatures get too hot), mulch helps the soil conserve moisture and prevents weed growth.

Weeds can rob soil of the water it needs to promote strong root systems, which can help plants get the nutrients they need to withstand summer heat. Mulched soils also do not experience the fluctuations in temperature that non-mulched soils can experience during summer heat waves, helping plants to grow evenly.

• Move plants when possible. Plant location can affect their chances of sur-

Lawns and gardens can often benefit from the laying of mulch. Mulch serves various purposes in lawns and gardens, and many experienced lawn and garden enthusiasts lay mulch to ensure their properties make it through spring, summer and fall unscathed.

First-time homeowners with little or no landscaping experience may not understand the benefits of mulch, which can be used to strengthen soil and protect properties from the elements.

viving summer heat. Driveways lined with flowers or other plants may look nice, but driveways exposed to the sun can radiate heat at temperatures that exceed the temperatures noted on the thermometer. If possible, move plants to locations on your property that are less exposed to the heat and/or less likely to be affected by the heat. Move container plants beneath trees on hot days, and consider summer heat waves before planting new flower beds.

Summer heat can be especially harmful to plant life.

But homeowners can employ various strategies to protect the plant life on their properties when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer.

What is mulch?

Mulch refers to a material spread around or over a plant to enrich and/or insulate its soil. Many homeowners prefer mulch made of wood chips, which is both

effective and readily available. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that organic mulches, which include leaves, wood chips, compost or grass clippings, can be used by homeowners who want to develop ecofriendly landscapes.

Why mulch?

Mulching can benefit plants around a property in various ways. Many people lay mulch because the mulch helps soil retain moisture in the summer, when temperatures tend to be at their hottest. This can help plants survive summer heat waves.

Mulch also can be used to suppress weeds. Weeds, which steal moisture plants need to build strong roots and survive summer, need

light to grow. When laid correctly, mulch deprives weeds of the light they need to grow. Organic mulches can even provide homes for crickets and a type of beetle that feed on weed seeds.

Mulch also can deter harmful pests depending on the type of mulch homeowners choose. When purchasing mulch, homeowners will have to choose between the aforementioned organic mulch or man-made mulches, which may be made of plastic or rubber.

While man-made mulches may repel pests, they also can have adverse effects.

Plastic, for example, can heat up in the summer and cause plants to burn. Certain organic mulches can repel insects that can threaten plants. That’s because the

majority of organic mulches increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in the soil, and they also increase the presence of helpful insects that do not pose a threat to plant life. Those helpful insects help keep harmful insects at bay. Compost is a type of organic mulch that may attract harmful insects. While that does not mean homeowners should shy away from using compost as mulch, they should know that they may need to employ organic insecticides to combat their unwanted guests.

Mulch is a potentially valuable tool homeowners can use to improve the look and health of their properties.

Herald - Funny Paper

SEAMAN ALEXIS KELLY

Kelly serving in Hawaii PEARL HARBOR – A 2015 Ashbrook High School graduate and Gastonia, North Carolina native is serving in the U.S. Navy and is participating in the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC).

Seaman Alexis Kelly is an operations specialist aboard USS William P. Lawrence, currently operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

A Navy operations specialist is responsible for navigation and radars aboard the ship.

“I'm looking forward to the exercise scenarios during RIMPAC,” said Kelly.

According to Navy officials, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

The theme of RIMPAC 2016 is "Capable, Adaptive, Partners," Navy officials explained. The participating nations and forces will exercise a wide range of capabilities and demonstrate the inherent flexibility of maritime forces. These capabilities range from disaster relief and maritime security operations to sea control and complex warfighting. The relevant, realistic training program includes amphibious operations, gunnery, missile, anti-submarine and air defense exercises, as well as counter-piracy, mine clearance operations, explosive ordnance disposal and diving and salvage operations.

The Department of the Navy's Great Green Fleet yearlong initiative will also play a major role in RIMPAC. The initiative highlights global operations using energy conservation measures and alternative fuel blends to demonstrate how optimizing energy use increases resiliency

and operational readiness.

During RIMPAC, almost all participating units will operate using an approved alternate-fuel blend.

26 nations, 45 surface ships, 5 submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel will participate in the biennial Rim of the Pacific Exercise.

This year's exercise includes forces from Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, People's Republic of China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States.

“We are wrapping up a deployment. We’ve conducted exercises with many foreign navies and this pulls it all together.

This is a capstone event for our 7th Fleet deployment,” said Cmdr. Walter C. Mainor the Commanding Officer aboard USS William P. Lawrence.

“Our visit to Hawaii has been well-deserved rest and relaxation for our crew. Our most important asset is our sailors, and the job they do day in and day out is so important. The average age onboard is 25 and the expectations we have for them are so great. They just continue to exceed them.”

“This is a small ship so you become very close to the people aboard with you,” said Kelly.

Challenging living conditions build strong fellowship among the crew, Kelly explained. The crew is highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches, and drills.

“While serving in the Navy, I've learned how to deal with people and work with others that may have different personalities and backgrounds,” said Kelly.

“Salute to Elvis'' at Neal Senior Center “A Salute to Elvis,” featuring Travis Powell, will be held Aug. 4 at the Neal Senior Center in Shelby.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the Neal Senior Center, 100 TR Harris Drive, Shelby.

Carillon Assisted Living will serve refreshments.

OUTDOOR TRUTHS By

Gary Miller ller

Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ While Americans are fixed on our own Independence Day; the truth is many different countries take one day each year GARY MILLER and celebrate their freedom from another country or empire. I find it odd that even countries that are not known for freedom (like Syria) celebrate it each year. What is forgotten in many places is the desire to be free does not come down as an edict from a president, king or governor, but it comes intrinsically from individuals. Some person at some time had to start a conversation saying “You know, we need to be free.”

Others then joined the chorus and eventually freedom became something to be pursued as a group. Our constitution states correctly that liberty is endowed by our Creator as an unalienable right. The founders of our country believed that because liberty was an unalienable right endowed by God, they should not hinder this right to those who are, and become, Americans – that it ought to be a part of the fabric of the country. Again, this was based on what they believed about God and His desire for people based on the Bible. There are no doubt the freedoms we enjoy are much more than say the people of Syria. They want to be a free country and yet keep individual’s freedoms at bay. North Korea would be another example. What we must remember is this. A nation becoming free from another nation only to enslave its own people is not a free nation. It is a nation whose leadership of bondage has simply changed hands. But in truth that is what all freedom is about. It is not about doing anything we want. It is about changing the leadership of the one we serve. It is about replacing who once had authority over us to something or someone else.

The ultimate freedom giver was God when he gave His Son Jesus to die for our sins. The Apostle Paul explained it this way.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” (Gal 5:1NIV) What does that mean you ask? It means Christ has set people free so they can be free! But what does being free do for someone?

It allows us to make our own choices. In other words we are free to decide. Being free to decide, however, doesn’t mean that we can jump from a high building and decide if we will land safely or not. Freedom always has limits imposed by whomever or whatever we are now serving. This is why we must be able to trust the one we serve. And this is why I choose to trust God. His character and his desire for my life are greater than anyone or anything else I could submit to. Will you choose Him as well? gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org

Keep your pets cool

by Joann Hager As the cooler spring weather gives way to the hot summer months, you'll be spending more time outside with your dog, walking and playing in the sunshine. But while you are having fun, you will need to keep your dog cool to protect him from heat-related illness and injury.

Sunburn Most people don't think about their pets getting sunburned but they certainly can. White and lightly colored pets can suffer sunburn just as we can if they experience too much exposure to the sun.

Long-term sun exposure can lead to skin damage and in some cases skin cancers. Limit the amount of time your fair-haired pets stay in direct sunlight.

Even basking in a sunny window counts as time in the sun. If any type of discoloration or sore appears, consult your veterinarian for a check-up. Areas that are commonly affected are the ears, eyelids and nose.

Heat Injury Heat injury occurs when a dog's body temperature exceeds his ability to cool himself. Unlike people, your dog's normal body temperature ranges between 100 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. When body temperature elevates above 106 F, normal cooling mechanisms are overwhelmed, which results in a serious condition requiring intervention and medical treatment. Certain breeds are more prone to heat injury than others. Large double-coated breeds like the chow chow are particularly susceptible. Dogs bred for life in cold climates such as

malamutes, huskies, American Eskimos and Newfoundlands often have little tolerance for heat and humidity. Dogs with shorter faces such as bulldogs, pugs, shar-peis and Boston terriers have less ability to cope with a heat load due to their short and narrow respiratory systems.

Heat stress can happen quite rapidly, sometimes only in a few minutes, especially in dogs that live primarily indoors. Even pets that live or spend a lot of time outside can succumb to the heat if their cooling mechanisms are exceeded by weather extremes.

Preventing Heat Stroke For many dogs, especially the double-coated breeds mentioned, a summer hair cut can relieve heat stress. A good groomer can clip your dog's coat to a comfortable few inches so they can more easily dissipate the heat. Do not have your pet shaved down to the skin as this eliminates the natural protection of the hair coat and predisposes your pet to sunburn and other injury.

In the heat of midday, keep your dog indoors in either air conditioning or in a well-ventilated area with circulating fans.

If you have a pet that enjoys water, keeping a small pool of water outside provides a fun and cooling environment. Be sure there is just enough water to play in, the water depth should not come over your dog's head. If a pool is not available, a spray from a hose will help. To get your dog used to the hose, start by trickling a small amount of water on the feet and gently move up until your pet gets used to the water. Never

blast water at a dog who is not used to the hose.

Limit Exercise Time Even if your dog accompanies you every day on a walk or jog, certain weather extremes may call for some changes. Limit vigorous exercise to early morning and after sunset or eliminate long walks/jogs until the weather cools.

Also remember that dogs can burn the pads of their feet on hot pavement.

Don't forget that any dog left outside in summer weather needs shade, shelter, food and fresh water.

Never leave your dog in a car. Your car can reach 120 F in minutes, even on a cool day and exceed your dog's cooling capacity. In the event of a heat emergency, cool your dog with tepid water; do not use cold water. A fan will help to cool and circulate air.

Call your veterinarian immediately, even if your pet seems to have recovered.

Be aware that the outside temperature may actually be warmer than what the thermometer reads.

The heat index, a measure of the temperature and relative humidity, makes it more difficult for a body to cool down by perspiration.

A temperature of 85 F can actually feel closer to 100 F (or higher) depending on the index.

WARREN: celebrates From Page 1 Herald reporter by phone.

How has she had time to work outside the home and be a homemaker – mother of a dozen children ( including two sets of twins and grandmother to 43, great-grandmother to 68 and great-great grandmother to 58?

Eight of her children were born at home. She delivered a couple of her children herself. She worked in the cotton field and she also worked at Clevemont Mill. The 12 children are the late Freelove Warren Byers, Joe Lee Warren, Paul Warren, Freddie Warren, Betty Mae Warren, and the la te Frances Warren Alston, Pauline Warren Smith, Kings Mountain; Pearl Warren, New Jersey; Clarence Warren, New Jersey; Zenobia Warren Reid, Gastonia; Deborah A. Warren of Gastonia and Doris Warren Adams of Kings Mountain.

Mary, the daughter of Lonia Jackson and John

Fulton, was born on the Dewitt Hambright farm in the Dixon Community July 1, 1913.. She recalled walking from the Dixon Community to Compact School. At the age of 15 she in love with Clarence Warren and they were married in York, SC by a Justice of the Peace. And, no they didn't elope. Their parents gave them their blessings. Clarence was in the US Army during World War II and Mary remained at home raising the children. Clarence Warren died in 1984.

You can see Mary at the Patrick Senior Center every day except Monday. She admits to resting the day after the Sabbath because she spends most of the day in church. The oldest member of Galilee United Methodist Church, she never misses a Sunday of church attendance. She is always present for Sunday School, morning worship and Sunday evening services. Mary is always present for revivals and for special events

at church and she likes to attend school events that her great-grandchildren are interested in too.

When she lived in the Galilee Community she enjoyed quilting, gardening, her flowers and playing bingo. Her apartment is decorated with photographs of her family and she likes to show visitors her scrapbooks that contain memories of her special life, including pictures of her 50th wedding anniversary and the entire family in attendance.

“I read the Bible every day,'' says Warren. She likes to watch ball games and boxing on television.

Mary was honored by the staff and friends at the Patrick Senior Center at a birthday party June 30.

She blew out candles on a birthday cake and got a kiss from Mayor Scott Neisler.

When Mary has a birthday the crowd spills out from her apartment into the hall and pretty soon the entire population of the apartment complex joins in.

FBCKM Mission Trip to Tokyo, Japan In early May, a team of six people from First Baptist Church Kings Mountain went on a mission trip to Tokyo, Japan. Missions Pastor Jeff Johnson led the trip accompanied by Janet Anthony, Sarah Gaddis, Abrigail Green, Vik Kapoor and Dan Messenger.

They worked with Southern Baptist International Mission Board Missionaries Brian and Natalie Goodwin.

Brian, a graduate of Kings Mountain High School and a former member of FBC, has been in Tokyo with his wife for over a year.

In terms of mission security, Japan is an “open” country. This means that

individuals and organizations are allowed legally to be in Japan and freely lead evangelistic efforts. While the population of Japan is roughly 127 million people, less than 0.5% if the people identify themselves as Christian. During the trip, the team remained in greater Tokyo, which is the world’s most populous metropolitan area with a population of nearly 40 million. It accounts for nearly a third of total population.

In providing encouragement and logistical support for the Goodwin’s mission efforts, the FBC team attended worship services, participated in prayer walks

in various parts of the city, directed evangelistic and outreach activities, and even connected with other missionaries serving in Tokyo.

Highlights for the team’s time in Japan definitely included both the prayer walk around the Imperial City and also the time spent at a Christian elementary school in the northern part of the city.

This trip was made possible financially by the Mission Readiness program of FBC. Every member of the team was humbled, honored, and grateful for the opportunity to go and serve on this mission team. All praise and honor goes to Jesus Christ.

The skyline of Greater Tokyo is pictured. Members of a six-member mission team from First Baptist Church took the photograph while working on a mission trip.

Acupuncture Can Help Relieve Pain and Many Other Ailments Dear Savvy Senior, Is acupuncture a proven treatment for arthritis pain? I have a lot of back and neck pain and am wondering if it’s worth trying. What all can you tell me about acupuncture?

Afraid of Needles Dear Afraid, Many well-designed studies over the years – funded by the National Institutes of Health – have found acupuncture to be very effective in easing arthritis pain, and can help with a variety of other ailments too. Here’s what you should know.

First used in China more than 2,000 years ago, acupuncture has become increasingly popular in the United States over the past 40 years.

While acupuncture isn’t a cure-all treatment, it is a safe, drug-free option for relieving many different types of pain including osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, postoperative pain, tennis elbow, carpel tunnel syndrome, dental pain, menstrual cramps and more. Studies have also

shown that it can be helpful in treating asthma, depression, digestive disorders, addictions, menopause symptoms like hot flashes, and nausea caused by chemotherapy or anesthesia.

Exactly how or why acupuncture works is still not fully understood, but it’s based on the traditional Eastern theory that vital energy flows through pathways in the body, and when any of these pathways get blocked, pain and illness result. Acupuncture unblocks the pathways to restore health.

acupuncture treatment is nothing like getting a shot. In fact, it’s quite relaxing. Here are some additional points you should know:

very common. It’s also important to know that acupuncture can be used in conjunction with other conventional medical treatments, or by itself.

The needles: They’re solid, sterile and disposable (used only once), and as thin as a cat’s whisker. The number of needles used for each treatment can vary anywhere from a few, up to a dozen or more. And where the needles are actually stuck depends on the condition being treated, but they are typically inserted about one-quarter to 1-inch deep, and are left in place for about 20 minutes.

After placement, the needles are sometimes twirled or manipulated, or stimulated with electricity or heat.

Cost and coverage: The cost per treatment typically runs anywhere from $50 to $100 or more. Unfortunately, most private health plans including Medicare, do not cover acupuncture.

However, today most U.S. medical doctors tend to believe that acupuncture works because it stimulates the nerves causing the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkiller hormones. It’s also shown to increase blood circulation, decrease inflammation and stimulate the immune system.

Does it hurt? You may feel a brief, sharp sensation when the needle is inserted, but generally it’s not painful.

Once the needle is in place, however, you may feel a tingling sensation, numbness, mild pressure or warmth.

What to Know If the thought of getting needles stuck into your body makes you a little uneasy, you’ll be happy to know that an

Treatments: How many treatments you’ll need will depend on the severity of your condition – 12 treatments done weekly or biweekly is

To find an acupuncturist in your area ask your doctor for a referral, or you can do a search online at the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (nccaom.org) and acufinder.com. Both sites provide a national database of certified and/or licensed practitioners. Or visit the American Academy of Medical Acupuncturists (medicalacupuncture.org), which offers a directory of MDs who are certified to practice acupuncture.

Bessemer City Community Garden Created in 2014 by a small group of volunteers, the BCCG offers space to individuals, groups and businesses. The produce grown may be used by the lessees or donated through the Garden for distribution to a variety of local programs, including the Bessemer City Crisis Center, churches and others. The BCCG has recently obtained status as a certified 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Participation is open to all. Information regarding the rental of beds and additional volunteer opportunities is available on the Facebook page as well as on the Bessemer City website.

Community Concert & Cruise In Series The fourth Saturday of each month between April and September from 6:00pm to 10:00pm marks a special occasion in the City of Bessemer City. Many locals and citizens from surrounding cities come out for an evening of family fun, live music, and classic cars in historic downtown. The event is free and open to all looking for a good time. The community concert and cruise-in series began several years ago, as a means to keep the Bessemer City citizenry engaged and captivated! The Saturday, June 25th event consisted of hot cars and the smooth, sensational Ken Knox & Co. Did you miss this one? No worries! Be sure to join us at the next Community Concert & Cruise-In on Saturday, July 25th for the dazzling display of SummerDaze!
