2021 Independence Day event back after COVID shutdown Chamber says some sponsorship opportunities still available by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

It has officially been a year now since Cherryville had their famous Independence Day Celebration thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns. This year’s festival promises to be different and more along the lines of what some are calling “normal”, or at least as normal as things can get. In his letter dated June 15, City Manager and Fire Chief Jeff Cash once again

let the town’s downtown merchants be aware that this year the city is hosting their Independence Celebration on Friday, July 2, 2021. As Chief Cash said in his letter, “It will be an event for the entire community. We will offer fun, food and fellowship, including music by ‘Too Much Sylvia’.” He continued, “Please make plans to bring your family and friends to help us celebrate,” adding for folks to “…Please bring your yard chair,” and that “…Fireworks will begin at approximately 10 p.m., weather permitting.” Chief Cash said he and his crew will begin setting up in the mini-park early Friday morning, July 2, add-

ing that if they or their customers utilize this area as a parking area, then to please make everyone aware in advance that the parking lot will be closed for event set up. Said Chief Cash, “Our plans are to block Main Street beginning around 2 p.m., on that Friday,” and to only block Main Street between Houser Drug and Oak Street.” He continued, “We wanted to make you aware of this well in advance for your planning purposes. The back alley along the railroad will be blocked near the downtown mini-park for the stage. Your customers and employees will need to utilize parking other than the See INDEPENDENCE, Page 5

Will 2021’s Independence Day Celebration see the large crowds like its 2019 predecessor? We certainly hope so! This year marks the much-loved festival’s reappearance since 2020’s shutdown due to COVID-19. (Eagle/CF Media file photo by Michael E. Powell)

El Patron Restaurant comes down to make way for proposed medical office by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

The controlled burn at the old El Patron Mexican Restaurant on Monday, June 21 – one of two the Cherryville Fire Department and other local departments utilized as part of a training exercise for

their firefighters – came off without any serious hitches or glitches, according to Fire Chief Jeff Cash and Assistant Fire Chief Jason Wofford. Chief Cash said, “The police department assisted us with traffic by coning off one lane and having a patrol car on the scene, so there were no issues with traffic. We did have some visibility issues until the fire broke through the roof at the North Cherry and East Church intersection See CFD, Page 11

OBITUARIES

Eva Dell Sain Brown 5/11/22 – 6/5/21

PALM HARBOR, FL – Mary Eva Dell Sain Brown, formerly of Cherryville, N.C., passed away on June 5, 2021, of natural causes at Arden Courts, a Palm Harbor, FL, memory care facility. She was 99 years old. Her daughter, Mary Alissandratos was by her side at the time of her death. Mrs. Brown was born May 11, 1922, in Vale, N.C., the youngest child (of eight), to Preston and Mittie Crow Sain. She is preceded in death by her husband, Clyde Ernest Brown, her parents, two brothers, Ike and Lee Sain; and five sisters, Hazel AuBuchon, Edna Bingham, Gola Norman, Daisy Johnson and Grace Miller. Survivors include Eva Dell’s three daughters: Patty Fox (Robert) of Clearwater, FL, Janet Shell of Charlotte, N.C., and Mary Alissandratos of Palm Harbor, FL; seven grandchildren, Tricia Fox (Josh Schoenberger) of San Diego, CA; Dr. Scott Shell (Andrew) of Buellton, CA, Jaclyn Shell of Charlotte, N.C., Brian Shell (Kash) of Charlotte, N.C., Andrew and Michel Alissandratos of Lake Tahoe, CA, and Jared Alissandratos of Palm Harbor, FL; and two great-grandchildren, AJ and Shayne Schoenberger of San Diego, CA. Eva Dell graduated from Banoak High School, Vale, N.C., as valedictorian in 1938 and Magna Cum Laude from Lenoir – Rhyne University in 1942 (with a BA in English). In 1974 she received a Master of Education degree from UNC – Charlotte. Soon after college graduation, Eva Dell traveled to Los Angeles to spend several months with her brother, Lee, before finally making her way to Sioux Falls, S.D., where Clyde, her high school sweetheart, was stationed during WWII. They were married there on Nov. 7, 1942, three days after her arrival. After the war was over, Eva Dell and Clyde moved to Cherryville, and opened Modern Printing Company on Main Street. Clyde ran the daily operation, but Eva Dell was instrumental in getting the business off the ground by taking over the marketing and sales duties. In those early days, she drove many miles, calling on prospective clients and succeeded in generating new and repeat orders that made Modern Printing Co. successful for over 50 years. Besides working at the printing shop, Eva Dell was active in many community activities. She was a longtime member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, a Sunday School teacher for the Gertrude Rudisill class, and served in various leadership roles in the church. She also was an active member of her daughters’ PTA organizations. In addition, she volunteered at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, at the Schiele Museum in Gastonia, and for the Cancer Society. She even modeled for Troyanne Ross Modeling Co. in Charlotte for several months. In 1978 she was appointed to the Gaston County Women’s Task Force along with five

other county women to help promote the passage of the ERA bill. Her many hours of community work earned her a Personality of the South designation in 1972. In 1964, Eva Dell hosted for a year a German foreign exchange student, Heidi, in her Cherryville home. Many years later, after touring China, she also sponsored her tour guide, Maggie Lu, in her efforts to immigrate to the U.S. She maintained a relationship with both girls for the remainder of her life. Her compassion for others also led her to sponsor two young Taiwan orphans for several years culminating in a 1970 visit to see them. Perhaps Eva Dell’s deepest passion, other than her family, was travel. Over the course of her life, she journeyed to many countries in Europe, South America, Africa and Australia and made specific trips to China, Russia, the Middle East, Japan and many other places. To facilitate her passion, in 1978 she opened a travel agency beside the printing business and operated it for several years. Her family was included on many of these trips even after the daughters had families of their own. In 1992 all the family spent a wonderful vacation in Hawaii to celebrate Clyde and Eva Dell’s 50th wedding anniversary. Eva Dell loved being with her grandchildren and was a part of all their lives regardless of where they lived. She was always available to help out, participated in all their life events, never judging them for their unconventional choices, and was always proud of their accomplishments. She was the perfect grandmother and beloved by all of seven of them. In 1984, Eva Dell bought a home in Clearwater, FL, across the street from Patty. Although she alternated between her Cherryville and Clearwater homes for many years, she gradually began spending more of her time in Clearwater, joining a local fitness group and attending church activities there. At age 90, she was featured on local TV for her fitness achievements. In 2013 Eva Dell moved into Mary’s home, then into a memory care facility in 2019. Eva Dell was an intelligent, vibrant, beautiful woman. She had an independent spirit and was never one to conform to rules she didn’t agree with. She was a free thinker, often espousing ideas ahead of her time, inspiring her children and grandchildren to pursue an education and be comfortable with who they are. She was an energetic woman, loved to entertain and often had gatherings at her Cherryville home, but ultimately, it was her love of her family that drove her. Eva Dell will be missed, but she has left a legacy of grace, spirit, achievement, and unconditional love. A memorial service will be held on July 11, 2021 at 2 p.m., at St. John’s Lutheran Church with the Rev. Michael Collins officiating. The family will receive friends in the church narthex immediately following. Memorials may be made to Suncoast Hospice Foundation at https://suncoasthospicefoundation.org/ donations/, or to the Alzheimer’s Foundation at https:// act.alz.org/donate. A guest register is available at www.stameycherryvillefuneralhome.com. Stamey – Cherryville Funeral Home & Cremation Service is assisting the family with local arrangements.

BEEKEEPERS From Page 1 food via pollination. In our area, there’s a devoted group of apiarists known as the Gaston County Beekeepers Association (GCBA for short). The GCBA is a non-profit organization/club of local beekeepers that’s also a chapter of the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association. North Carolina has the largest beekeeping organization in the US and more beekeepers per capita than any other state in the US. The state organization has been around for over 100 years and the Gaston County chapter has been around for over 75 years making it one of the oldest chartered county bee associations across the state. The GCBA has been one of the premier county bee organizations around the state for quite some time. For the 2019-2020 calendar year GCBA brought home the coveted Golden Achievement Program Award from the North Carolina Beekeepers Assoc. This award is given out to exemplary chapters that show high standards and commitment to community, its members, and the beekeeping world.

Mr. Thompson (sans bee suit) with some hives. said. “That includes farmers, preppers, doctors, retirees, and anyone else interested in beekeeping and concerned about the environment.” According to Thompson, most members have beehives at home, but the GCBA also has a communal area near the Paysour farm in Dallas where 25 hives buzz with activity. Thompson talked about how the GCBA reaches out to our area with its message. “We do programs at schools, churches, libraries, civic organizations, special events, and anywhere else there’s an interest,” he said. “The programs are free of charge.” The programs include a lecture and sometimes an observation hive, where participants can view the bees at work behind a glass window without having to open the hive. The GCBA also sells the honey from its hives. “The honey bee is the only insect that produces food eaten by man,” said Thompson. GCBA members will also help ‘newbees’ get started in the hobby. Compared to a lot of avocations, beekeeping is relatively inexpensive. “It costs between $250$300 to get started with one hive and the other equipment

you need,” he said. Live bees can be purchased at a variety of locations including from ads in the NC Agricultural Review newspaper and the website of the NC Beekeepers Association. The GCBA meets monthly on the last Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. Meetings consist of club business, followed by guest speakers whom speak on a range of topics honeybee related. The meetings are held at the Gaston County Citizens Resource Center, located at 1303 Dallas – Cherryville Hwy., Dallas, N.C. The group also offers an annual bee school every year beginning in January. The course runs approximately 8-10 weeks, meeting once a week on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Class times range between 1hr to 1hr and a half, with time at the end for Q&A. Students have the option of taking the state certification test at the end of the term as well as participating in our annual field day. Field day offers hands-on with working active bee colonies and also food/ fun/fellowship with other beekeepers. Signups for the school begin in mid-November. The goal of the school is to give students wishing to become

beekeepers, a basic but broad foundation and fundamentals that will help them start keeping their own bees. For those not wishing to keep honeybees, the school serves to educate on the importance of pollinators to our environment and to give a basic broad understanding of all things honeybee-related. The GCBA will also remove swarms and honeybees from structures. Occasionally, honeybees are found either outdoors in a swarm (usually hanging around on a tree, bush, or fence post), or else living in an inconvenient location like your attic or garage. Swarms represent free bees to the GCBA, and members will gladly remove unwanted bees at low to no cost. The GCBA also has other members that offer the service of removing bees from homes and commercial buildings and structures for a fee. So, looking for a fascinating way to help the planet as well as reaping the sweet reward of the bee’s hard work and your enthusiasm? Check out the GCBA and join in the fun. As Thompson puts it, “We need more beekeepers!” For more information on the GCBA visit: www.gastonbee.org, gcbeekeepers@ gmail.com, or https://www. facebook.com/gastoncountybees. Fun Facts about the honeybee • A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence it would have to fly around 90,000 miles – three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey. • It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the world. • Honey is 80 percent sugars and 20 percent water. • Honey bees produce beeswax from eight paired See BEEKEEPERS, Page 9

TODAY’S QUOTE:

OPINION

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” –George Washington

Fourth Fest? Yep, it’s back, so have fun! Thank the Lord! We are finally getting back to some sanity here in Cherryville and back to something that remotely resembles “normal”. What am I talking about, you might ask? COVID-19 vaccinations picking up? More “Woke-ness” and less “systemic racism”? Cheaper electric bills? More people actually trying to get a job and less of them hoping the government will step in and keep paying them NOT to work? No, no, no and NO! No, dear readers… I am referring to the City’s hosting our famous, and much-loved and wellknown Fourth of July Festival, scheduled this year for Friday, July 2! Doing this, at least for me anyway, makes it feel as if we really ARE getting back to something resembling normal. Kudos to Mayor Beam, the City Council, City Manager and Fire Chief Jeff Cash, the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce, the Cherryville Main Street Program, and any and all who had a part

By Michael Powell michael.cherryvilleeagle@gmail.com

in any way, shape, or fashion, in making this come to pass! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! ‘Bread and circuses’ beats ‘gloom and doom’ any day, anytime, anywhere, folks! Since we moved here in 2007 and first laid eyes on the City’s stellar fireworks display, we have been crowing about it to all who will listen to us; from our relatives back home in the Bluegrass State and beyond, to our kiddies and their kiddies here in the Old North State. When we first heard about them from our neighbors, at the time, on Mulberry Street

(our first domicile in Cherryville), we waited with anxious expectation to see and hear what we hoped would be a fantastic show, and boy, we were NOT disappointed! We are of the opinion that, blast for blast; starburst for starburst (or whatever they call those things); firework for firework, what Chief Jeff Cash and his CFD crew do every year during our great American holiday/birthday bash, for a town our size, has NO… I repeat, NO, rivals anywhere, at least none we have ever seen and heard. Now, don’t get me wrong, our old hometown used to put on quite the July 4th show down on the riverfront, and it drew good-sized crowds, but it’s a town about the size of Gastonia, so, you can sort of expect that, if you know what I mean. Cherryville though does a slam-bang job of creating quite the spectacle of sight and sound, coupled with great food and what-not, so that the atmosphere is one you just don’t want to be over

I was also very fortunate to have some good friends who would come over to my house to play with dolls and tea sets and listen to my mom read stories to us. She was a stay-at-home mom, and she did everything possible to keep me comfortable through a very hot and long summer. If any good thing came to me from this childhood accident, I suppose it consisted of my thanking God for always taking care of me. It also made me more aware even as an adult of what is happening around me and appreciating all of the good people in my life at home and at church and at work. Without a doubt I am a very blessed person!

so fast, and the overall ‘down home’ feel is… well, it’s a feeling that no big town or large city can quite replicate. I guess what I’m trying to say is that what we have here in the town where “Life Blossoms” is unique by any stretch of the imagi-

nation. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Period! It doesn’t matter if it’s a festival or a parade; it doesn’t matter if it’s a spiritual event or revival or something similar; it’s a slice of small-town life you won’t find these days anywhere else. In short, it’s

priceless! You can’t buy the experience for love or money! But then again, it’s not really for sale. All you have to do is just bring a lawn chair, show up, and have fun like the rest of us! Happy Fourth y’all!

Don’t wait too long to invest in yourself The best investment you can make is in yourself. You Glenn Mollette can Guest Editorial work, invest, save and accumulate wealth but what good is it if you ignore yourself? A friend of mine once said, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” A sure way to undermine your financial security is to neglect your health. Failing health always results in life insecurity. When your health fails you don’t feel like working. You aren’t able to enjoy life or take care of others. Whatever you have accumulated financially will go to pay for emergency medical costs, rehabilitation, or a nursing home. A family member was sick years ago and the out-of-pocket monthly cost for her care was over

$15,000 a month. Obviously, this soon became financially debilitating. While you are living life, working, going to school, raising your family, and enjoying your golden years, keep this in mind; an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I know there are no ‘silver bullets’ when it comes to our health. I’ve had health issues, two cancer procedures and other ailments. I’ve spent the last 30 years eating grilled chicken and salmon. I’ve walked, jogged, played sports and lifted weights most all of my life. My doctor told me I have to do more. He literally said, “No red meat, no sugar, no dairy, no fried foods.” What is left? He did say I can eat some bison, venison and elk, which I have tried and enjoy them all. My 100-year-old friend who lives close by says she eats a little of everything but very little of everything, majoring on vegetables, fruits and staying active. There has to be something to her

lifestyle because it works for her. She still lives alone, in her own house and cares for herself. She laughs a lot and has a lot of adoring friends. So, while you are building your financial security, invest in your health. See you doctor. Have routine blood tests. Monitor your blood sugar, LDL (bad cholesterol), blood pressure and have an occasional CT or MRI scan to find out what you really look like on the inside. If your doctor finds something then you can tackle what you know about. If you don’t know what your enemy is then you can’t put up a defense or even mount an offense. Investing time in taking care of yourself means you can enjoy your life longer. You will be in a better position to help your family or friends, instead of them taking care of you. Keep moving. Take your vitamins, eat as healthy as possible and try. What do you have to lose? Consider, all you might gain.

Forgetful? It’s most likely the rigors of growing old by JOHN GRIMALDI Guest column

It’s not just old-timers who have those “senior moments”; studies show that we gradually begin to find it harder to focus when we are in our twenties and it gets more difficult as we age – it’s a slow process but it’s also part of the aging process.

“A specific brain network, the locus coeruleus, that controls our ability to focus while under stress appears to weaken as we age, interfering with our ability to focus,” is how Science Daily explains it. Studies have shown that when we get older it’s normal for us to get distracted, making it hard for us to pay attention.

According to Professor Mara Mather, a co-author of one of those studies, “Trying hard to complete a task increases emotional arousal, so when younger adults try hard, this should increase their ability to ignore distracting information.” While young adults are not as easily distracted as are senior citizens, there is

scientific evidence that the ability to ignore distractions peaks when we are about twenty years old and slowly deteriorates with each passing year. “So, if you forget that you wear glasses, have your forgetfulness checked out. But if you simply forgot where you left your glasses, it is most likely the rigors of getting old,” says

Rebecca Weber, CEO of a senior’s organization. The Harvard Medical School published a report on the topic, noting that, “Most people start to notice changes as they enter their 50s and 60s. Although these changes can cause consternation, most age-related memory and thinking problems don’t stem from an underlying

brain disease such as Alzheimer’s disease. Instead, what appears to be a memory problem may simply reflect a slower processing speed and poor encoding and retrieval of new memories as a result of diminished attention. However, even though your brain may be slower to learn and recall new information, See FORGETFUL, Page 12

INDEPENDENCE From Page 1 mini-park on Friday, July 2. We will also utilize the parking lot beside the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce.” Chief Cash noted that this year’s blasts will be somewhat less than those of old due to tariffs placed on the fireworks from China (some as much as 30 percent, he noted) as well as tariffs incurred due to the shutdown of traffic through the Panama Canal. Chief Cash said, “We are looking forward to this year’s show.” He added he wants to thank everyone in advance for their cooperation, patience, and flexibility as the town prepares to host this special community event, and also to remind folks the area is a tobacco-free area all during the festival and show and that also no dogs are allowed as well. “If anyone has any questions, please let me know by calling either (704) 435-1730, or calling my office at Cher-

ryville City Hall at (704) 4351711. “Please mark your calendar and come join us as we celebrate our Independence Celebration on Friday, July 2, 2021,” he said. Cherryville Chamber President Mary Beth Tackett also reminded businesses and individuals, they still have the following remaining sponsorships for the Independence Day Celebration: the Main Stage Sponsorship, at $750, and General Sponsorships, at $100 apiece. Tackett and the Chamber, as well as the city staff, have all been working hard to bring this much-loved festival back from its year-long hiatus. She said, “We’re exceptionally excited about this year’s celebration since it is the first event that we have been able to host since COVID-19 hit us! This has become one of the best attended events in the area, and we’re excited to oblige those who always ask us to ‘make it bigger’.” Tackett continued, “As

cial events such as the Independence Day Celebration are expensive promotions. “The City of Cherryville and the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce underwrite most of the expenses associated

Life is tough so let us not forget to hold on to Jesus Summertime schedu l e s overwhelm us, circ u m stances seem to crush us, REV. KEITH HUSS burdens Pastor drown Mt. Zion Baptist us, fears Church, Cherryville engulf us, and doubts flood our thoughts, emotions, and outlook on our daily life. With so many things trying to steal our focus and attention, it is easy to feel defeated. I think the writer of He-

brews can attest to feeling this way as well. But anyone who has walked through the fire, the valley, the hardships, and the struggles and endured can testify that our eyes must stay focused on the only One who is our Hope, Jesus Christ. Some days, our hope, and ultimately our faith, is all we can hold on to. Not because our grip is strong but because He Who promised is faithful to hold on to us as well. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up

love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:23-25) When life overwhelms us, often we tend to take a passive approach. We want to just sit and wish for our circumstances or situations to change. Yet, there is nothing passive about verse 23. It says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering.” Other translations of scripture state that we must hold strong, unswervingly, tightly, and with a firm grip. When life is attempt-

ing to overwhelm us, we must make a choice as well. We can sit and let the waves crash over us time and time again, or we can actively hold fast, strong, unswervingly, tight, and with a firm grip to our only source of Hope, Jesus Christ. We know God is faithful, we trust in His promises, but life is simply hard. God knew there would be days (okay, sometimes weeks, months, and even years!) like this which is why He never intended for us to walk this journey alone. Hebrews 10:24 says, “Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.”

It says to be concerned about one another in order to promote, stir up, stimulate, inspire, motivate, provoke, and help each other to love and to good works. Maybe, we need a reminder to refocus our eyes on the One True Savior instead of our circumstances. We need a gentle shove (or, in my case, a swift kick in the pants) to remind us to tighten our grip on the One Who is faithful. We need others in our life who are not afraid to get dirty and who will climb in our pit with us, not to wallow in the pit with us, but to help pull us out onto higher ground. Yes, life is tough. So, let

us together, surround ourselves with those of faith in Jesus Christ who will help encourage, push, inspire, and motivate us to keep on holding on. You and I need each other in the good times, bad times, hard times, crummy times, celebrations, and let-downs. Rain is going to fall and storms in our life are going to come. Let us not forget to hold on tightly to Jesus, let us be concerned about others, let us encourage others to hold on, and surround ourselves with God’s people.

CLT readies for “Anne of Green Gables” rehearsals by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info The Cherryville Little Theatre’s Sarah Fox Sandoval recently announced auditions for the play, “Anne of Green Gables” are over and they are moving into the rehearsal phase of the play’s production. Sandoval said recently, via a media release, that “…with COVID restrictions and trying to juggle everyone’s calendar, we just got things approved and ready to go very recently! After over a year with no theatre we are finally ready to open back up with a classic!” “Anne” is described as a “…classic tale of a plucky girl who touches the lives of everyone she meets in 1905 Prince Edward Island, Canada.” Said Sandoval, “This straight play – meaning it isn’t a musical – and has roles for people ages 16 and up. It is written by Jody Johnston Davidson and produced by a

special arrangement from Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., of Denver Colorado.” Ms. Sandoval noted the play’s auditions, held June 26, 27, and 28, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., are over, and the rehearsals are to be held from July, through August, up until the play begins. The play will be directed by Jim Chandler and will be held at the Cherryville Little Theatre, with performances being as follows: Aug. 20, 21, 27, and 28, at 7 p.m.; and Aug. 22, 29, at 3 p.m. For more information on the play or show times; tickets and how to get them; about the play itself; or about The Little Theater, please contact Ms. Sandoval at The Cherryville Little Theatre at (704) 7476536, or email her at thesarahsandoval@gmail.com.

CFD From Page 1 (where the old restaurant was located). In the end, all was well.” The old building started life, according to an early 2000’s Eagle article, as one of the state’s first (if not the first) fast food-type restaurant franchises. Echoing Chief cash’s comments, Assistant Chief Wofford also noted, “The burn went well.” When asked that, as a training exercise, how many of the CFD fire crew and/or others were there, as well as who directed the actual burn, Chief Cash said, “Approximately 20 CFD firefighters took part in the training. I served as the North Carolina Live Fire Burn Certified Instructor.” As for any problems or any complaints from McDonald’s, Local Market, BB&T, Dollar General, or any of the commercial or regular neighbors, Chief Cash responded by noting that, “No complaints were expressed to me or any of my staff. This included the evening of the burn and the following day.” The estimated time it took it to get the old building fully engulfed until the fire was actually through burning was, as Chief Cash noted, “ From (the) start until the building was on the ground, it was probably an hour and 45 minutes.” Chief Cash said the next controlled burn of buildings in the area that will eventually become the proposed CaroMont medical building property will be the old bank building/Wes Black law office, formerly known as the old Southeastern Savings and Loan

That burn was slated for Saturday, June 26, and has already been completed. Chief Cash said their operations begin at 7 a.m., and, as always, their training objectives were based

on NFPA 1001 Firefighting Standards. Though this was done to clear the land for the aforementioned urgent care offices and CaroMont offices, Chief Cash stressed the buildings “…

were provided for us for training due to the fact that the site will be a new CaroMont doctor’s office/ urgent care center. They will begin construction in approximately September.”

As the folks at the Harvard Medical School put it: “The result is that as you age, it takes longer to absorb, process, and remember new information. The natural loss of receptors and neurons that occurs with aging may also make it harder to concentrate. Therefore, you not only learn information more slowly, but you also may have more trouble recalling it because you didn’t fully learn it in the first place. With slower processing, facts held in working memory may dissipate before you have had a chance to solve a problem.” petunias are multiplying.” For more information, citizens may call the Main Street office at (704) 4353451.
