Seven-year-old Lawndale youngster is a Dutch Oven cooking champion! National Dutch Oven Gathering 2023 Youth cook-off Champion wins first place second year in a row by MICHAEL E. POWELL CF Media michael@cfmedia.info There really isn’t a certain age when a child learns to (or even wants to, for that matter) cook, but as Courtney and Seth Dedmond of Lawndale know, all it takes is the desire. Oh, yeah, a little bit of talent and innate skill doesn’t hurt either. Take for example their seven-year-old genius chef, Gabriel, a.k.a., Gabe. This is one talented little gourmand who isn’t afraid to tackle the hard things in the culinary arts and has proven his skill as one mean Dutch Oven empresario. He has further proven his mettle, she recently noted, by winning a number of contests and cook-offs and is looking forward to entering in, and winning, even more in 2024! Gabriel’s mom, Courtney, wrote to the Shopper, “My husband, Seth, and I have always camped. When Gabe was three, we got in touch with Southeast Campers, a local Dutch Oven cooking group.” She said Gabe would always “…try to help us cook as we were outside,” and it just took off from there. Courtney said her husband was born and raised in Lawndale, NC, adding she is from Florida and moved to North Carolina in 2016. “Gabriel has two older sisters, Olivia and Sophie,” said Mrs. Dedmond, who added, “Neither of them cook but they do come and support when they can.”
The way all this with Gabe and his love for Dutch Oven cooking came about, noted Courtney, is, “In 2022 we went to the National Dutch Oven gathering in Hanover, Pennsylvania, for us to just enjoy. (At the) last minute, Gabe informed us that he wanted to cook in the youth competition. “At the age of six, he won the youth division making a Shepherd Pie and a Pineapple Upside-down Cake.” She continued, “We practiced more with Gabe to get ready for the 2023 competition in Rayne, LA, where he won at the age of seven, cooking a Flank Steak Pinwheel and a Pineapple Upside-down Cake with a rum glaze. “This astounded us,” said mom, Courtney, as the event is a five-hour event. Both parents have noted, “Now, we are next off to Mitchell, Indiana, (in) 2024 (where he will compete at the age of 8).” See CHAMPION, Page 4

From Page 1 Mom and dad both know he is good, adding Gabe has pretty lofty aspirations going forward as “…he wants to look into being a professional cook and still be able to camp and cook outdoors.” Courtney continued, “When Gabriel is wanting to cook, we allow him to experiment as best as he can and teach him what we know. When he does cook, we will help with starting the charcoal or cutting. He does cut the food some now that we have been working with a knife more often.” His family all note how young Gabe is very blessed and fortunate in that he has a whole crew standing behind, and with, him in his hobby and passion – cooking in general, and Dutch Oven cooking, in specific. For those who want to know… his “sous chef” crew (and inspiration) is mom, Courtney; dad, Seth; sisters, Olivia and Sophie; and last

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Low Income Energy Assistance Program will begin accepting applications from older adults and people with disabilities on Dec. 1, 2023. The federally funded program helps low-income households with a one-time payment sent directly to their heating vendor to offset the high cost of warming their homes during the cold weather months. "We know the cost of most things is increasing, and keeping homes warm and safe this winter will be a bigger burden for some of our neighbors," said Carla West, Senior Director for Human Services at NCDHHS. "LIEAP helps ensure North Carolina’s older adults and people with disabilities who may be facing a financial hardship have the funds to help stay warm throughout these colder months." Payments will be distributed automatically to heating
vendors beginning in December 2023 if a member of the household meets the following three requirements: • Is age 60 or older or a person with a disability receiving services through the NCDHHS Division of Aging and Adult Services, • Currently receives Food and Nutrition Services and • Received a LIEAP payment during the 2022-2023 season. Households meeting the requirements for the automatic payment will be notified of their eligibility in November 2023 and do not need to re-apply for LIEAP. Any household with a person 60 or older or with a disability who is receiving services through the Division of Aging and Adult Services who did not receive notice of an automated payment can apply online at epass.nc.gov. Applicants can also call their county department of social services to apply by phone, in person, or print a paper application from epass.
nc.gov to mail, fax, or drop off at their county department of social services. To be eligible for the LIEAP program, a household must: • Have at least one U.S. citizen or non-citizen who meets the eligibility requirements, • Have income equal to or less than 130% of the federal poverty limit, and • Be responsible for their heating cost. Beginning Jan. 2, 2024, all other eligible households who meet the eligibility requirements may begin applying. Applications will be accepted from Jan. 2, 2024, to March 31, 2024, or until funds are exhausted. Last year, the LIEAP program provided approximately $63 million to help more than 143,000 households pay their heating bills from December 2022 through March 2023. For more information on the program and eligibility, visit the NCDHHS website.

NC creates position helping with child care support for employees The NC Department of Commerce has created a Child Care Business Liaison position that will partner with businesses, local communities, government and philanthropic organizations to develop strategies employers can utilize to provide child care support to their employees. The creation of this new position, initially funded for three years, is part of North Carolina’s multi-year strategic economic development plan, which is entering its next stage. Part of the next phase of the plan is addressing the insufficient supply of highquality and affordable child care in North Carolina. Applications for the position are now being accepted through Jan. 15, 2024. The Child Care Business Liaison position is also supported by Invest Early NC, a funder collaboration that promotes the development and sustainability of a comprehensive early childhood system in North Carolina. NCDHHS will equally invest in the new position and the NC Department of Commerce, connecting child care, economic development, and philanthropic resources to offer innovative solutions to North Carolina businesses. North Carolina’s multiyear strategic economic development plan entered its next stage of implementation on December 21, with the creation of a new position in the North Carolina Department of Commerce devoted to addressing the insufficient supply of high-
quality and affordable child care in North Carolina. The new Child Care Business Liaison, initially funded for three years at the state’s lead agency for economic development, will partner with businesses, local communities, government, and philanthropic organizations to develop strategies employers can utilize to provide child care support to their employees. “Education is the foundation of North Carolina’s economic success,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “Quality early childhood education gives children the start they need, gives the parents the opportunity to work, and gives employers the opportunity to hire those parents to strengthen their workforce. The person in the new position will help coordinate these efforts to help children, parents and businesses get the excellent childcare they all need.” “Our strategic plan for economic development focuses squarely on the need to provide companies with the best workforce in the world, and child care issues are workforce development issues,” said North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Machelle Baker Sanders. “Employers benefit when parents know their children are receiving quality care in a healthy environment -- and I know firsthand that those parents are more likely to stay in the workforce and are more productive and focused at work.” The Child Care Business Liaison position is also sup-
ported by Invest Early NC, a funder collaboration that promotes the development and sustainability of a comprehensive early childhood system in North Carolina. “This grant-funded position will strengthen and institutionalize relationships among philanthropy, the Department of Commerce, and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services,” said Amber Payne of Invest Early NC. “Invest Early NC is pleased to partner with the State of North Carolina on our shared vision for an early childhood system that benefits all children, families, and communities in North Carolina.” The Departments of Commerce Health and Human Services will equally invest in the child care position, connecting child care, economic development, and philanthropic resources to offer innovative solutions to North Carolina businesses. “Early childhood education sits at the intersection of health and well-being, workforce and economic development as childcare gives parents the security they need and their children the high-quality learning that is critical to their success in life,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kody H. Kinsley. “Our collaboration with N.C. Commerce is an innovative child care strategy that will build a stronger child care workforce and ultimately a stronger North Carolina.”

7 ways to organize and store holiday decorations

Decorating a home for holidays is quite popular. A survey from the National Retail Federation found that 53 percent of respondents said they were planning to decorate their home or yard for Halloween in 2023. Lombardo Homes polled 1,000 Americans in 2021 and 94 percent said they celebrate Christmas in at least some way, and 84 percent said they decorate. According to Time2Play, which surveyed 1,000 Canadians about their holiday decorating habits, Manitoba puts up Christmas decor earlier than any other province, with these residents taking out decorations 4.3 weeks ahead of Christmas Day on average. With so many avid holiday decorators, individuals will need to find ways to organize and store their seasonal items. Holiday decor comes in many different sizes — from the smallest tree ornaments to illuminated statues for the yard or inflatable items. Figuring out a storage plan can take a little effort. These seven tips can help. 1. Purchase clear, similarly sized storage bins and shelving racks, hanging them where you plan to keep the decorations. Most people prefer an out-of-the-way spot, such as in the garage, attic or basement. Label each bin by holiday and put the bins in chronological order to make finding items more convenient. Uniform bin sizes make it easier to stack and store. 2. Store smaller items inside larger decor items. Decorative baskets or wrapped boxes brought out for Christmas or Chanukah are ideal places to keep smaller tchotchkes like ceramics, dreidels, candlestick holders, or mantel hooks. Delicate items can be tucked into Christmas stockings or wrapped and stored in a fluffy tree skirt. Egg cartons can be used to keep small items safe as well. 3. Label everything so you will not need to dig through boxes or bins to know what is inside. This might be a good year to ask for a label maker for the holidays! 4. Use overhead or wall storage for holiday decor. Overhead spaces in the garage or basement walls can be good spaces to keep holiday decorations. Always keep bins and boxes off the floor so they are not vulnerable to damage related to leaks or floods. 5. Garment bags can protect larger decorations, such as wreaths, artificial trees or signs. If you have a large number of mechanical, illuminated or inflatable lawn ornaments, consider investing in a small shed where these items can be safely kept. Wrap the extension cords and any bracing stakes or strings used with the decorations so it’s easy to find. 6. Utilize pieces of cardboard as well as toilet paper or paper towel tubes to keep lights and wires tidy. Tuck cords into the toilet paper tubes, and wrap lights around the cardboard to avoid tangles. 7. Each year, take inventory of your decoration collection and toss out anything that is damaged or has seen better days. Storing holiday decorations will take some time, but once you establish a system, things will be simple year after year.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3
Silent Night (4th and Final Part of “Winter Wonderland” series)
In a winter wonderland, everything seems to be hushed and still, creating an atmosphere of peace. The snowflakes fall gently from the sky, covering the earth in a pristine white. The air is crisp, and a quietness envelops the surroundings. Similarly, on that holy night in Bethlehem, as Mary and Joseph welcomed the Son of God into the world, there was a profound silence that surrounded the stable. The world held its breath, as if in awe of the miraculous event taking place. It was a moment frozen in time, where heaven and earth met in perfect harmony. This silence symbolizes the peace that Jesus brings into our lives. Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) says, “For to us a child is
DANYALE PATTERSON
born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” REST The world we live in is marked by constant noise and distractions. Our hearts long for a respite, a moment to pause

and find solace. Jesus offers us exactly that. His birth reminds us that amid a bustling world, we can find rest in him. In life’s chaos, he invites us to find rest in him and experience the tranquility of His presence. In Matthew 11:29 (AMP), Jesus says, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST (renewal, blessed quiet) FOR YOUR SOULS.” These words speak directly to the weariness and burdens we carry. Jesus understands our struggles, and he offers us a place of refuge where we can find renewal and strength. He promises to quiet our restless hearts and fill us with his unending love. During this Christmas season, may we take the time to be still and embrace the peace that Jesus offers. Let us quiet our minds and allow His presence to calm our souls. PRAY THIS PRAYER: Father, my heart is grateful
for the gift of Christ. He is Emmanuel - God with us. I praise you for always being with me, and showering me with your love, peace, provision, and goodness. I ask that this season you will use me to point others to you - the greatest Christmas gift. In Jesus’ name. Amen. CONNECTING TO GOD This Christmas season you can accept the best gift you will ever receive -Salvation. It includes forgiveness of sins, an eternal relationship with the Creator of the Universe, a purposefilled life, guidance to walk the earth victoriously and so much more. Will you receive this gift by believing that Jesus died for your sins? If yes, ask God to forgive you of your sins and tell him that you surrender your life to him. As you pray and read the bible, step by step the Lord will lead you. Merry Christmas and welcome to a Happy New Year!

“Drinking and Driving Don’t Mix” Live Responsibly and Help Us Keep our Roadways Safe This Labor Day!
From Your Friends at Shelby Shopper & Info... Enjoy the party celebrate responsibly. Don’t drink and drive and don’t get in the car with any driver who has been drinking. When you drink and drive, you put yourself in danger and endanger the welfare of everyone else on the road. Plan ahead if you plan on drinking, remember to designate a sober driver early in the evening, or just call a cab.
