Catawba Valley Community Foundation Supports SCCM

By SCCM Director Deborah Thomas...The Ca-tawba Valley Community Foundation is a charita-ble foundation created by and for the people of the Catawba Valley. They help people from all walks of life contribute to a pool of charitable funds that will benefit current and future generations. From its beginning in 1997, the Foundation has granted to organizations that support human services, educa-tion, health, arts, religion, civic affairs, and the conservation and preservation of historical, cul-tural and environmental resources. The Catawba Valley Community Foundation has shown great support and has been a source of funding for South Caldwell Christian Ministries over the years. Once again, for the 2014 grant year, we have been awarded a grant to help fami-lies with children on their heating bills this winter.

Dr. Herb Says….Take These Steps To Health

Energy

It is hard to function in life when a person does not have any energy. There are many things that you can do to help your energy level. During your waking hours stay active: Do some-thing. Work and exercise is good for you. And, at the time you are supposed to rest; rest. Stay active during the day and sleep at night. Do not stay up all hours of the night watching TV or anything. Your body needs rest and sleep to have energy for the day. Do not eat foods that deceive you; that give you energy at first then do not feed your body and actually drain your energy supply. Such foods are sugar, and refined carbohydrates. Do not take drugs to try and stimulate energy. Do not drink alcohol or caffeine drinks: they rob your energy. Smoking is bad to deplete your body of energy. Eating too much, and eating all the time, takes a lot of energy. Keep your mind on the Lord and trust in Him. Avoid stress. Worry, anxiety, stress, will zap your energy: when you could just turn it over to the Lord, He can han-dle it better than you can. Drink water and eat fresh and raw foods that God made. Do not eat man-made foods, which are robbed of their nutrients. Do not eat anything animal; it takes too much energy to digest it and process it through the body. Do not eat at night, you will rest.

Low Thyroid

The Thyroid regulates the function of all our cells. It is essential that the thyroid is normal in order to keep our energy up, and our body warm. There are many symptoms of dysfunc-tion when the thyroid is not up to par. The most common are fatigue, depression, cold hands and feet, slow doing everything, headaches, emotional, weak, and just feel cold when every-body else is warm. When waste is left in the body, it putrefies causing a bacterial problem. Bacteria can get in the thyroid and cause mal-function. Some people have been helped by eat-ing foods high in iodine, such as kelp or using iodized salt. It is better just to clean out and eat God’s food. Also you can drink water instead of man-made drinks. Eat foods high in minerals and trace minerals. Eat foods high in B-vitamins. Eat mostly raw foods; cooking kills B-vitamins. Get adequate rest and sleep. Be active; work for exercise. Be sure to eat foods that are good fiber so they will go through the body, and not clog it up. Meats, cheese, and any-thing animal does not have fiber. Digestion does not work properly at night. Be sure to go eliminate colon, three times a day and kidneys seven times.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is referring to the pressure that blood exerts on your arteries and veins while the heart is beating and resting. The pressure while the heart beats is called systolic force, and the pressure during the hearts rest moment is called diastolic force. Normal blood pressure is represented by 120 systolic and 80 diastolic. The worst place to get an accurate reading is at the doctor’s office: Some people are up-tight and stressful about going to the doctor, so stress causes blood pressure to be higher. Some things that cause blood pressure not to be normal are: eating at night, eating too much too late, eating sugar and refined car-bohydrates, too much waste left in the body, not eating foods with proper nutrition, especially minerals and amino acids, smoking, taking in caffeine and/or alcohol, side-effects from some prescription drugs, not enough rest, water, oil or exercise and no break in eating. Eat a good breakfast of fruit and protein. Fruit and protein foods such as sunflower seeds, almonds and all nuts, beans avocadoes, bananas, cantaloupes are good sources of calcium, potassium, mag-nesium, minerals. Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins and minerals to help strengthen veins and arteries.

Osteoporosis

Most every person has bone deterioration; some worse than others. We have all been brain-washed to take calcium, and/or drink milk. Milk is designed for an animal growing bones, but not sustaining bones. Once a person gets the bones growing, we need sunshine, exercise, and hormones to sustain healthy bones. When you start growing; start living. Do something; get exercise. Get outside and get some sunshine. Interact with people. In other words, LIVE! Do not just stay cooped up in a box called a house, and do nothing, and let yourself deteriorate. There are other things besides lack of living that cause you to deteriorate. Watching the world and all that the devil is doing in the world, can dry up your spirit, keep you depressed and will take a toll on your body. Watch God: He has a great future for everyone who wants it. He will lift your spirit and give you hope. Also, there are some physical things you can do that can cause you to deteriorate. Eating animal protein actually wears your digestive system down. Eating sugar destroys nutrients and can add to the deterioration of your body. Alcohol, caf-feine, drugs, smoking all take a toll on helping your body to go downhill, and take away your health. Eating too much physical food and not enough spiritual food will cause to deteriorate.

You Can Be Old and Healthy

If we carefully preserve the life force and keep the delicate mechanism of the body in order, the result is health. Without health, no one can distinctly understand or as completely fulfill his obligations to himself, to his fellow-beings, or to his creator. Therefore, the health should be as faithfully guarded as the character. Getting older does not mean we have to have poor health. Genesis 43:28 “And they answered, “Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive.” Genesis 47:9 “And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrim-age are a hundred and thirty years.” Jacob had good health at one hundred and thirty years. Moses was still healthy at one hundred twenty years old. Deuteronomy 34:7 “And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.” Caleb was healthy at age eighty five years old. Joshua 14: 10, 11 “And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me.” He was as healthy at age eighty-five as he was at forty.

Obey God Stay Healthy

Disease, sickness, death are from the devil. God wants us to be healthy. Acts 10:38 “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.” Believe in Je-sus and obey Him. If other people want to be sick, we do not have to follow that way. Disobe-dience or following the devil has diseases with it. Deuteronomy 28:27 – 28, 60 – 61 “Boils, scab, itch, whereof thou canst not be healed: Madness and blindness, and astonishment of heart. Diseases which thou wast afraid of; they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness and every plague until thou be destroyed.” Disease is not a punishment from God, but a re-ward from following an evil devil. Deuteronomy 7: 12 – 15 “If ye hearken to the Lord, thy God shall keep thee; He will love thee, bless thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people. And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness and will put none of the evil diseases which thou knowest upon thee.” Obeying God is much better than having headaches, pain of all sorts and a miserable life of sickness. Without health, no one can enjoy life. And it is not worth following the devil and pleasures of sin!

Stay Healthy For God’s Glory Sickness is the body cleansing itself. When someone has the flu, they get diarrhea, throw-up, fever, perspire; this is the body’s way of eliminating toxins. We should never allow ourselves to let toxins build up so bad until the body has to go to drastic measures to cleanse itself. Fasting one day a week is good to let the body do some housecleaning. One of the biggest de-ceptions the devil has pulled off on mankind is thinking we have to eat all the time. Jesus fasted forty days. Jesus never set a bad example. The four thousand people that Jesus fed had been with Jesus for three days with nothing to eat. We cannot even get people to set in church only two hours without wanting to go home and eat. In Rev. 14:7 it says, “Fear God and give glory to Him.” How do you give God glory? 1 Cor. 10:31 “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” God made us. The devil is trying to mess up God’s creation. The devil does not want God to receive glory, or for us to be healthy.

Lemon

The Lemon is a natural antiseptic. Lemon juice will destroy harmful bacteria in cuts, or other places in the body. Mix lemon juice with honey and destroy the bacteria that causes a sore throat. Lemon juice is good for acne and eczema. Lemon juice is good to kill the bacteria trying to come through the skin, by way of a boil. Lemon juice is good for blackheads, and clogged skin pores. Put lemon juice on wrinkles, and leave for several hours, and then wash it off, and apply coconut oil. You can rub the inside of the lemon peel over your teeth and gums to help remove stains, and prevent teeth and gum problems. Mix the juice of one large lemon in a glass of water, and put it on the hair and scalp to help with dandruff and give your hair a shine. Lemon juice is also good for relieving the itch of insect bites, and also good for poison oak or ivy. A lemon water fast, one day a week is good to lose excess weight. Lemon juice is good to get rid of stuff that causes breathing and sinus problems.

Nicole Lee Confections opening in Granite Falls

Nicole Lee Confections is excited to announce our opening in Granite Falls on Friday, November 14, 2014 with a grand opening on Monday, November 24, 2014. We are located at 3 Dudley Avenue next to Fox Upholstery Service. Specializing in custom decorated sugar cookies and a variety of other high quality and always fresh baked goods. We offer decadent brownies, salted caramel butter bars, and soft sugar cookies with butter cream icing to name a few. In order to provide the very freshest prod-ucts we will only offer them one day per week. So come out on Friday, November 14 from 8am to 3pm and see us before we are all sold out! Custom orders are accepted every day. About Nicole Lee Confections Inspired by a magazine photo of some gorgeous Valentine’s Day cookies, I began to search for a way to create my own beautiful cookies. Experi-mentation with recipes and designs eventually led to the creation of Nicole Lee Confections. There were a lot of mistakes and a lot of cookies that, let’s just say, were not quite like the ones I saw in the magazine. Eventually, and thankfully, they started to look like the magazine photo and my vision. I began selling to friends and coworkers and as they say the rest is history. Now that I had perfected my cookies, I needed a name for my business. I thought about Lisa’s Cookies, Lisa’s Confections, etc. Nothing sounded right. Then it occurred to me that I should use some combination of my niece and nephew’s names. I have no children of my own and they have been the joy of my life, so it seemed fitting. Nicole Lee Confections is the namesake of Chris-tina Nicole and Matthew Lee. Before I became a cookier and a business owner I had a career in medicine. I just thought I worked hard then. There are many long days and late nights making sure my cookies always stay my vision but the rewards are endless. My business continues to grow and I learn something every day.

Soil and Water Conservation District Takes New Applications for Agriculture Cost Share Program

By Caldwell County...The Caldwell County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is taking applicants for the 2014-15 North Carolina Agriculture Cost Share Program. The Agricultural Cost Share Program, administered by Caldwell County SWCD, contributes 75 percent of a predetermined cost for Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stream restorations and other agriculture related projects. To be eligible to participate in the program applicants must: (1) have an agricultural operation that has been in existence for greater than three years and (2) filed a Schedule F (Form 1040) on their fed-eral income taxes or possess a current Agricultural Exemption card from the North Carolina Depart-ment of Revenue, or obtained a Forestry Management Plan for forestland actively engaged in the com-mercial growing of trees as defined in G.S. 105-277.2(6). Examples of past projects are: fence exclusion from a wa-terway with permanent livestock watering facilities and wells, pasture renovation, all-weather livestock trails, stream resto-ration, clearing and snagging, grassed waterways, and many other practices that protect the environment. After basic requirements have been met, the next step is to submit an application to the Caldwell County SWCD. Based on a ranking and annual available funding for the program, an application may be accepted. A maximum reimbursement of 75 percent of a predetermined average cost for each BMP installed is available for this program, while the applicant is responsible for the remaining 25 percent of the costs. This may include the use of existing material and labor. Five years ago, Bill Donaldson heard about the Agricultural Cost Share Program when he attended a Lenoir Rotary Club meeting and was introduced to Caldwell County SWCD employee Pamela Bowman. Donaldson and his wife Barbara requested that the SWCD assess damages to a stream running through

their property and filed an application for stream restoration work. The stream bank was badly eroded at the time, with vertical banks contributing to the problem. Donaldson was also losing valuable farmland and was concerned about the safety of the highway washing out with each significant storm event. Kevin Clark, soil conservationist for Caldwell County SWCD was persistent on finding available funds to allocate for this project. “Kevin did a tremendous amount of work and fought tooth and nail to see this project through,” said Bill Donaldson. The stream restoration went to construction in spring 2012, and then there were three major rain events. “During con-

struction, people would slow down or stop on the road to see the restoration, there was a lot of atten-tion,” Barbara Donaldson said. The riparian buffer is full of native species including trees, shrubs, grasses, and a native wildflower seed mix containing black-eyed Susan, cardinal flower, and other flower varieties. “It looked like a jungle before the restoration but now it looks like a park and is beauti-ful,” Donaldson said.

A Christian Novel by Lenoir resident Terry Barnes

About Joe and Booger Odom: A Christian Novel of Brotherly Reconciliation…At the close of the Civil War, many areas like the deep Appalachian Mountains were caught in the conflict as bands of Union and Rebel soldiers crisscrossed and skirmished as the war languished in its last days. The people of these deep hollers had enjoyed decades of isolation and now found themselves victims of the times. But these new challenges were only added to the numerous ones they faced that all people groups have faced down through the centuries. The need for reconciliation between brothers began in the Garden of Eden and continues even today. This is the story of two sets of broth-ers who struggled with reconciliation, but with different outcomes, and the difference faith played in their lives.

Soil and Water Conservation District Takes New Applications for Agriculture Cost Share Program

Continued from page 16...

Caldwell County SWCD offers other programs such as Agricultural Water Resources Assistance Pro-gram (AgWRAP) and Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP). AgWRAP has similar guidelines to ACSP but is designed to increase water use efficiency for agricul-ture operations. Past projects include watering facilities with wells and irrigation ponds. CCAP is designed to improve water quality through BMPs not directly related to agriculture. The eli-gibility differs than other SWCD programs and commonly includes schools, businesses, homeowners, parks, and publicly owned land. Past projects include stream restoration, storm water management, and cisterns. To request an application or for further information about the NC Agriculture Cost Share Program (ACSP) BMPs or other programs, contact Caldwell County’s soil conservationist, Katie Powell by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 828-758-1111. Those interested can also go the state website at http://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/costshareprograms/ACSP/BMPs.html
