Granite Falls Garden Club Yard Of The Month
By Barbara Ross (Granite Falls Garden Club
President)...The Granite Falls Garden Club Yard of the Month was awarded to the home of Barbara Haigler on Sunset Street in Granite Falls. Barbara and her son Randall maintain their own yard. As you enter the driveway you are greeted with blooming Roses of Sharon. Spread throughout the landscape are huge overflowing pots of Begonias in a variety of colors, sedum plants, and knock out roses. Photo below courtesy of Barbara Ross.
Reminder: Don't Move Firewood
By the USDA…The U.S. Forest Service urges visi-tors to only use local wood in campfires when stay-ing in a national forest. The agency encourages campers to obtain firewood from the forest itself (with a permit), from sources provided on the for-est or from a nearby vendor. The transportation of firewood can spread harm-ful, invasive insects including the emerald ash borer and diseases like laurel wilt. These threats can eliminate entire tree species and adversely af-fect the health of our national forests. Help prevent the spread of destructive bugs and diseases by following a few simple rules: Leave firewood at home - do not transport it to camp-grounds or parks. Use firewood from local sources. If you have moved firewood, burn all of it before leaving your campsite. For more information, visit: www.fs.fed.us/r8/foresthealth/firewood/

Adult Education Students Participate in Summer STEM Academy
Students enrolled in College and Career Readiness (CCR) programs at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute are getting an in-depth look at science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) this summer through the college‟s new STEM Academy. The STEM Academy is a grant-funded project designed to address the need to better prepare Adult Education students for the GED 2014 and for future careers in. The project began in early July and has included classes on campus, as well as off-campus visits to the Family Resource Center, Glen Hilton Park, Redwood Park, Duke Energy‟s Energy Explorium, Catawba Science Center and Foothills Commu-nity Workshop.
Partnerships have been formed with several CCC&TI Curriculum programs including Landscape Gar-dening, Electronics Engineering Technology, Biomedical Equipment Technology and Automotive Sys-tems Technology. Students have also enjoyed guest speakers from the community including an engi-neer, an employee from Google, an EMT and a pharmacist. Students in the STEM Academy participate in hands-on activities in areas such as robotics, solar en-ergy, coding, soldering, biology (animal dissection, plant identification, health science), sustainability, chemistry (pH testing, science experiments), math projects, and a culminating STEM Fair to display student projects. Instructors and Program Directors at the college said that this program will be a benefit to the CCR students as well as curriculum students. For CCC&TI‟s Landscape Gardening (LSG) students, the part-nership is particularly beneficial. “Debbie Mitchell and Tom Sloop wanted their students to learn con-versational Spanish as it relates to Landscape Gardening in order to better prepare them for the work-force,” said Melissa Darling, who is CCC&TI‟s English as a Second Language Director. “These two groups alternate between a „Spanish for Landscape Gardening‟ class and a Landscape Gardening class. Native Spanish speakers from the CCR classes will be available to help teach Spanish while LSG stu-dents will be available to help teach LSG concepts and the students will all work together in a garden on campus.” The project continues through Aug. 14. For more information on this program or College and Career Readiness at CCC&TI, call 828-726-2230.

Weekend Foster Parent Class Scheduled To Begin In September
By the County of Caldwell…The number of children in foster care is at an all-time high in Cald-well County and the need for Foster Parents is im-mediate. Think you would like to become a Foster Parent? You can find out with a series of weekend classes held by the Caldwell County Department of Social Services beginning in September. The Foster Parent classes will be held on Satur-days, beginning September 13 through October 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., at the Caldwell County Health and Human Services Building, on Highway 64/18, in Lenoir. Foster Parents provide temporary care for chil-dren until they can be successfully reunited with their birth parents. They typically work with chil-dren who have been abused and neglected. Foster Parents are needed to care for infants who have just left the hospital, children who need to be placed together with their siblings and also for teenagers. The Foster Family, DSS and the birth family work together to return children to their own home as soon as possible. A good Foster Par-ent is someone who copes well with change; works well with teams; has patience for imperfect behav-ior and can give without expecting immediate re-wards. Before those interested can begin the classes, they must complete the application process with DSS. Anyone interested should contact Valerie Acker-man by calling (828) 426-8281 or by email to [email protected], for more infor-mation and to request an application.

Parasites: Uninvited Guests
“Once upon a time in the 1930‟s in New York City, there lived many fresh fish lovers, “writes Robert S Desowitz, Ph. D., in his book New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers (W.W. Norton & Company. They would venture to markets where huge tanks filled with wa-ter held live pike, pickerel and carp from Minnesota and Wisconsin lakes. Scandinavian fish-ermen had moved to that area and were supplying the fish, which had become infected with a tapeworm that can reach up to 45 feet, according to Desowitz. Customers included house-wives who took the fish and transformed them into gefilte fish, minced fish pressed into balls and boiled until done. “The „until done‟ is the tricky part,” says Desowitz. The grandmothers of that time would sam-ple the fish until it was cooked just right. “The early samples were still quite raw and if in-fected, contained viable worm larvae. In this way, many a nice old lady of Gotham unwittingly acquired a forty foot Scandinavian immigrant in her digestive tract.” It‟s true! Persistent parasites abound. Whether you drive an expensive sports car, live in a lovely garden home surrounded by a white picket fence, or wander shoeless in search of food, you can serve as host to pesky worms vying for your attention. Finally, we can admit that, yes, most of us have parasites. Fortunately, they can be easily eliminated. “Parasite” comes from a Greek word meaning “one who eats off the table of another.” How fitting. A parasite survives by hijacking another organism, robbing it of nutrients, and thank-ing it by leaving behind toxic waste. Obviously, we would be much happier without having these pint-sized freeloaders around. Yet, there are over 100 different types of parasites that can live in human hosts. Since the world‟s population is becoming more mobile, with U.S. tourists traveling to foreign countries where parasites are prevalent and immigrants moving to the U.S. from these countries, para-sitic infections are increasing. Worms are prolific little creatures. They can release tens of thousands of eggs at a time, and it‟s the eggs or the freshly hatched larvae that we inadvertently pick up as we walk barefoot or garden in infested soil. Parasitic infection may spread through contaminated water, fruits, vegetables, grains, poultry, fish, or meat. Parasites, in addition, can be transferred from pet to owner. Since children spend more time outdoors, they‟re more likely than adults to be ex-posed to parasites. Signs of infection include a runny nose, nighttime, restlessness, and blis-ters on the lower lip inside the mouth. If you become infected, be prepared for a rough time. Infected individuals may feel bloated, tired and hungry. They may have allergies, anemia, lethargy, fuzzy thinking, headaches, and roller coastering blood sugar levels. They may experience restlessness, hair loss, diarrhea, ar-thritis, mineral imbalances and nighttime teeth grinding. One or more symptoms may occur to a greater or lesser degree depending upon the individual. But the fact remains, parasitic infections may have reached epidemic levels in this country.

Types of Parasites
Parasites include an amazing cast of characters that can end up taking residence in our bodies. There are four different groups to choose from: roundworms, tapeworms, single celled protozoans and flukes. Roundworms exist worldwide especially in warmer climates. Twenty-five percent of the world‟s population may be infected with roundworms, which can reach the size of pencils and ingrate down the digestive tract where they attach to intestine walls and ingest blood. The victim may experience nau-sea, indigestion, diarrhea, anemia and listlessness. Whipworms are small, about 3 to 5 centimeters long, and infect the large intestine. Pinworms are the most common roundworms in the U.S., and inhabit mostly crowded areas such as schools, day care centers and mental hospitals. They can be as contagious as the flu, and usually infect several members of one family. Trichinae are tiny roundworms found in the muscle of infected animals, usually pigs that cause trichi-nosis, a disease characterized by intestinal disorders, fever, muscular swelling, pain and insomnia. If you eat pork, be careful since even a small uncooked portion can lead to infection. Always cook pork until it‟s well done. Minuscule single celled potozoans permeate our environment and harm more people worldwide than any other parasite. Protozoans form cysts, or resting stage, where they become resistant to tempera-ture extremes, chemicals, and drying. Humans can easily ingest these small cysts, and many of us have been exposed. Yet, our immune systems come to the rescue and eliminate the cysts, keeping them un-der control. Individuals with a weakened immune system due to stress or illness, however, may experi-ence outbreaks curable with certain herbs. Common throughout the world, tapeworms are long and ribbon like. Humans can ingest tapeworm larvae by eating raw or under cooked beef, pork and fish, or from coming in contact with infected ani-mals or contaminated grains. Tapeworms live in our intestines and absorb nutrients through their skin. People with tapeworm infections feel dizzy, toxic, have unclear thinking, high and low blood sugar levels, hunger pains, poor digestion and allergies. The various species of flukes, tiny flat worms that look like odd shaped pancakes, include liver flukes, blood flukes, lung flukes and intestinal flukes. Humans can become infected by eating raw or under cooked seafood, eating infected vegetation like water chestnuts or watercress, or drinking or wading in infected water. Once inside the body the flukes migrate to various organs and may cause liver swelling, jaundice, weakened lungs and blood clots.
Simple, Herbal Remedies
As you can tell it doesn‟t take Stone Age sanitation habits or a lengthy trip exploring dense jungles to increase parasitic infection risks. The little beasts are almost everywhere. Yet many medical doctors hesitate to diagnose parasitic infection and won‟t treat the infection unless symptoms are serious. Even though we‟ve always had to deal with parasites, medical doctors have found that patients don‟t want to hear about them.

Simple, Herbal Remedies
It‟s just as well. The drugs most physicians use against parasitic infection work on the premise of dif-ferential toxicity, which means that the drug is hopefully more toxic to the parasite than to us. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rashes and headaches. Fortunately there are gentler herbal remedies that rid systems of persistent parasites. Some work better in combinations and some are very strong, so it‟s best to obtain advice from an herbalist before ingesting them. Take herbal remedies before meals on an empty stomach and if you can, wait until just before the full moon since worms may be more active then. Begin taking herbs five days before the full moon and continue for about two weeks. Rascal, an aptly named herbal combination from Kroeger Herbs of pumpkin seeds, garlic, cramp bark, capsicum and thyme can chase away tapeworms. An herbal mixture of black walnut leaves, wormwood, quassia, cloves and male fern call Wormwood Combination helps eliminate round-worms. Two parts wormwood, one part sage and three parts capsicum is an effective combination against worms. Black walnut, sassafras and pine needles also work.
Preventive Tips
· Be sure that all meat, chicken and fish are cooked thoroughly.
· Don‟t use a microwave to cook meat, chicken or fish. Microwaves don‟t heat foods completely.
· Always wash your hands, kitchen counters and utensils with hot soapy water after cutting or
handling raw meat, fish or chicken.
· Wear gloves when changing the cat box. De-worm pets periodically.
· Avoid swallowing river, stream or lake water when swimming in them altogether.
· Eat high fiber foods and avoid sugar and other refined carbohydrates.
· Keep your body slightly acidic by including pumpkin seeds, calmyrna figs, garlic apple cider
vinegar, cranberry juice and pomegranates in your diet.
· Avoid eating water chestnuts and watercress.

What you have to know about parasites
Once worms or parasites are established in the body, these invaders do four things: I. Worms can cause physical trauma to the body by the perforation of the intestines, the circulatory system, and lungs, liver and so on. When chyme is released into the perforated intestines it oozes into the lymph system. Allergies are the first reaction. In other words, worms can make “Swiss cheese” out of your organs. (Chyme is the mixture prepared in the duodenum so the intestine can absorb it.) II. Worms can also erode damage or block certain organs. They can lump together and make a ball, a tumor so to speak. They can go into the brain, heart, lungs, and make untold misery for the host. III. Parasites have to eat, so they rob us of our nutrients. They like to take the best of our vitamins and amino acids and leave the rest to us. Many people become anemic. Drowsiness after meals is another sign that worms are present. IV. The last and most important way these scavengers cause damage is by poisoning us with their toxic waste. Each worm gives off certain metabolic waste products that our already weakened bodies have trouble disposing of. The poisoning of the host with the parasite‟s waste is a condition called “verminous intoxication.” It can be very serious for the sufferer and it is difficult to diagnose. An infected individual may feel bloated, tired or hungry, and also have allergies, gas unclear thinking and generally may feel toxic. Certain parasites have the ability to fool the body of the host into thinking that the worm is a normal part of the body tissue; therefore, the body will not fight the intruder. The host now works twice as hard to remove both its own waste and that of the parasite. Parasites can be present in any disease. Most doctors will not necessarily treat every infection unless the infection is heavy and the host is showing serious signs of disease. From his standpoint this may be justifiably so because many of the drugs that are used to treat an infection are very strong. They work on the premise of differential toxicity. This means that the drug is hopefully more toxic to the parasite than it would be to the host. Sometimes this margin is slim. Most people with parasitic infections are also usually undernourished, weak, full of either viral, fungal or bacterial infections, and have various types of chemical and metal poisoning. God has allowed us some help. When you treat a person naturally for a parasitic infection it is best to treat the whole person usually involving some form of de-tox program and nutritional rebuilding program allowing the body to restore balance and health. This, along with an understanding of how the infection was acquired and how to avoid the infection in the future will allow the individual to become more self-reliant in the area of health care.

Romans 2:23-29 “For he is not a Jew,
which is one outwardly, neither is that cir-
cumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But
he is a Jew, which is one inwardly: and cir-
cumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit,
and not in the letter: Whose praise is not of
men, but of God.”
God has no favorite physical race of people.
God loves Canadians just as much as He loves
Jews. God has not closed probation on any
race of people. “For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son.” Any
Jew, Mexican, Australian, African, American
can be saved in Jesus. A person cannot be
saved by being a certain race. That would be
unfair to all those of other races. God is fair
to all races and has chosen to save anyone
who wants to be saved, by Grace through faith
in Jesus Christ. If a person could be qualified
for Heaven by being akin to Abraham, and a
person could be qualified by believing in Je-
sus, then that would be two ways to Heaven.
Jesus being born a Jew does not automati-
cally save the Jews. The real people of God
are those from all over the world who are in
Jesus, and Jesus is in them.

Caldwell Arts Council Announces September Exhibit “CONCERTINA, INTERPRETED”
Lenoir, NC - The Caldwell Arts Council is pleased to announce the September exhibit: “CONCERTINA, INTERPRETED” featuring artwork created in response to poetry from the book “Concertina” by Joseph Bathanti, poet laureate of North Carolina and Professor of Creative Writing at Appalachian State University. An opening reception will be held Friday September 12, 5 p.m. to 7p.m. hosted by members of AL-TRUSA, and the exhibit will continue Tuesday-Friday 9am-5pm through September 26. In addition, the Caldwell Arts Council will host Joseph Bathanti for readings of his poetry at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The public is invited free of charge. RSVPs are requested; please call 828-754-2486. Caldwell Arts Council exhibits are free & open to the public. Light refreshments are served during opening receptions.
About the Exhibit: Approximately 30 artists from Caldwell and surrounding counties have created art works in response to poems they selected from the book “Concertina” by Joseph Bathanti, poet laureate of North Carolina. These works will be displayed throughout the month of September and include many styles of art rang-ing from drawings to paintings and encaustic work, and from photography to wood and metal installa-tions.
About the Poet: In 1976, Joseph Bathanti left his home in Pittsburgh for a fourteen month sojourn as a VISTA Volun-teer with the North Carolina Department of Corrections. His new volume of poems, Concertina, recounts in lyrical sweep his entry into the surreal, brutal, and often terrifyingly beautiful netherworld of convicts and their keepers. It is a world with one foot still firmly planted in the old chain gang, the other venturing beyond the manacles of history into a realm of second chances, while the country, in the throes of its bicentennial celebration, still swoons from Water-gate and its aftermath. What‟s more, Concertina is an outsider‟s meditation on the American South and the power of place to transform not only language, but to instill in the speaker the impulse to tell the story of everything his eye lights upon. Indeed, Bathanti‟s world is as much about the geography, the very ether, of North Caro-lina, as it is about prisons. His voice is contemplative, poised on a tightrope of its own making, pitched near detonation. There are poems about the gas chamber, bounty hunters, bloodhounds and violence. But there are also poems about yard basketball games, the prison kitchen, Christmas parties, children visiting their imprisoned mothers, guards as undone by their lives in prison as the prisoners, and released convicts stumbling into society after years behind bars. Above all, these poems doggedly insist that, even in ab-ject suffering, sustained love and shared humanity supply redemption. Joseph Bathanti is poet laureate of North Carolina and professor of Creative Writing at Appalachian State University. He is author of seven books of poetry, two novels, and a collection of stories.
About the Caldwell Arts Council The Caldwell Arts Council presents monthly and quarterly exhibits, education and collection programs that foster cultural arts in Caldwell County.

Going the Extra Mile
“And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain,” (Matthew 5:41) Successful people are always doing just a little more than the average person does, that‟s why they are suc-cessful! The student who pushes themselves the extra mile usu-ally has the better scores and grades at year‟s end. The athlete who labors through the extra miles of training will most likely out perform his or her peers in competi-tion. Spouses who go the extra mile have stronger mar-riages and better homes than the average couples. The scripture text above is taken from first century Ro-man culture and customs of their day. The Romans at that time ruled the known world and if walking to a desired area could demand that a non-Roman carry their baggage toward their destination for at least one mile. Jesus told his disciples to go two miles. Why? Most likely to demonstrate that his people were gracious and kind as well as submissive. The extra mile instruction teaches us a few valuable lessons: First: Love is greater than our pride. Second: The journey in the second mile is bound to open up a conversation as to why you‟re doing what you‟re not required to do. Jesus will be credited and glorified. Thirdly: Before honor comes humility. The way up is down. Conclusion: Many never understand why no good breaks come their way. Maybe it‟s because they‟ve never gone the extra mile but demand that others go the sec-ond mile for them.
We invite you to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church at 699 Pleas-ant Hill Road in Lenoir. Call 828-726-6564 for more infor-mation. God Bless You, Pastor John Gray
