! i i ; ir mp i nr TA SeECE— RE GOBS OF GUMBO - Jake and Faye Robinson of McGinnis Street grew these 25-inch pods of okra in a box garden in their back yard. The Robinsons said the okra is good to eat and tastes like squash when it's smaller but is not edible at this size. However, Mrs. Robinson said the okra is also referred to as ''Dishrag Okra' and the inside can be used to wash dishes. BETTY From Page 1-A "Doctors tell us I have one in four chances for success with a brother but they can also cross match children before putting me on a waiting list," said Betty. : "I feel confident and that's half the battle with cancer,"said Betty, who praises the medical staff working with her, the Home Health nurse she has become fast friends with, and her loving, supportive family and members of her Resurrection Lutheran Church. Instead of asking why me, e, Betty _ asks, why not? "I see cancer as just one of life's challenges, and I think to lick it is mind over body," said Betty, al- ways smiling and always on top of things. ; Three years ago Betty under- went brain surgery at Carolinas Medical Center and she said her faith and attitude sustained her through that ordeal and she be- lieves the same positive attitude can work miracles with God's help. Nearly two years ago she lost her active mother, and her best friend, Ruth Hendley, who became ill suddenly and died after -a brief ill- _ ness. "Doctors have told us that atti- tude is everything." But what if she had waited and kept blaming her leg and shoulder aches on muscle pain? "People should not wait but get tests done.and then make their de- cisions," said Cloninger. "So what if chemotherapy caus- es you to lose a little hair, it will grow back," she laughs, beautifully dressed in a red pantsuit, jewelry, perfect makeup and white turban. Betty said that the family she has cheered on at high school and college athletic games are her biggest boosters. Husband Tony is a pitching coach in the bullpen for the New York Yankees and has worked with the major league team since 1985. Mutual friends did some match- | making and Betty and Tony were married in Resurrection Lutheran Church and Tony moved from a farm in Iron Station to Kings Mountain. ; Betty's daughter, Terri Byers, 30, is a Shelby school teacher who is married to Marc Byers and they are parents of 18-months-old Brock; Steve Plonk, 28, is a real estate salesman in Newport Richie, Florida; the twins, Chad and Chris, 23, have always been active in sports and Chad has signed with the New York Yankees as a pitcher. Tony has three sons, a daughter and nine grandchildren from a pre- vious marriage. They are Tony Lee Cloninger Jr., Darin Cloninger, Michael Cloninger and Meredith Sherrill. "We have a close knit family and at holiday season this house is full of laughter and good times," said Betty. "I can hardly wait for anoth- er big family gathering." What is Betty's advice to people with a life-threatening illness? The greatest gifts are the people you meet whom you may have never known if you hadn't been hospitalized or need someone to help change dressings and help you be fitted with a back brace. There are always rainbows if you:look for them. Doctors say that the medical field is making great inroads into the treatment and cure of cancer. Many people don't have the side effects from chemotherapy and ra- diation they once feared. Be grateful for beautiful sum- mers and that the Lord waters your plants, so you can just enjoy the view from the windows. Get on a first name basis with doctors and nurses and new friends you meet and maintain your sense of humor. Conquer the shock of cancer with prayer and with friendship. Don't ever put off life-saving treatment surgery. Everyday is a precious gift from God. Live one day at a time. God nev-. er promised us tomorrow. When God closes a door, He opens a window.
