Plantain is sold in bulk for making blends of spe- cialty tea. The effects of Digitalis may include nausea, vomiting, dizzi- ness, headache, confusion, low blood pressure, vision distur- bance and abnormal heart rate and rhythm. : : The FDA has also warned consumers against using Chomper, a herbal laxative and - cleansing agent. ~The agency continues to in- vestigate the mislabeling of raw material labeled as Plantain and to work with manufacturers to .identify any dietary supple- ment products that may contain Digitalis to ensure they are re- called from commercial chan- nels. Persons who have had ad- verse effects associated with the use of these products should see a doctor. Consumers and health professionals can report adverse events associated with the products to FDA's MedWatch 1-800-FDA-1088. A local herb distributor said she was shocked to to hear about the mislabeling of the product. "I have customers who really like the tea and all the books I have on Plantain report positive résults." LEGION From 6-A HB In the final first round game Wednesday night at Lancaster Field, Kings Mountain fell to Shelby 12-7 to finish the regular season; with a 7-8 record. Shelby put the game away early, scoring seven runs in the first inning. Shelby's leadoff batter, Josh Ferree, got the as- sault going with a home run over the center field fence, and John McSwain added a three- run homer later in the inning. Norris Hopper went 5-for-5 "to lead the visitors. Tony Stokes led KM with three hits, Scotty Martin had two, and Tony Stokes hit a three-run homer. Steven Boswell worked the first six innings to get the win for Shelby. Peanut McCracken, the first of three KM pitchers, took the loss. College, . POOL From 1-A because their kids and grand- kids play ball,” said Robinson who agreed with Mike Smith that monies should go into a recreation fund from conces- sions, for instance, and then the fund be used for recreational needs. 2 "The money all goes into the city's general fund and there's no real incentive to raise mon- ey," she said. After a lengthy discussion the Parks and Recreation Board voted Monday night to present a proposal to City Council which would include the rec- ommendation for construction of a new pool and suggestions for improvements at the Center both in physical appearance of the facility and in services to kids. ; "That's about all we can do as an advisory board," said Mike Bennett and then it's up to the Council. Bennett said he won't recommend "throwing good money after bad" and other members agreed that "bandaid- ing" the pool was not the way to go. But Mike Smith said advisory members should speak out at City Council meetings. "I commend City Council for ‘taking a stand for Ingles but why has there been so much discussion about trees for. these new businesses coming into town when the Community Center across the street from the new businesses is so neglected and a health hazard," he asked Council Tuesday night. City Recreation Director Tripp Hord said Stacie Rhea of the Cleveland County Health Page 7A Department visited the Deal Street pool this week. Rhea said because the pool was built prior to 1993 the requirements for permitting are not as stringent as the newer pools. However, she said the wading pool can not be permitted without reno- vation and was closed in August 1994 because of a suc- tion hazard created by the sin- gle drain circulation system. The main pool shell is crum- bling in many areas and one en- tire 10 15 foot section of the coping and gutter system has fallen off into the pool. The deep end of the pool shell ap- . pears to have collapsed and there is vegetation growing in the drain area. - Robinson said she is also con- cerned about the disrepair of the adjoining building. "I'd like to see our Recreation Department second to none in the state and I'd hate to see you Council members lose your seats because of non- support to our recreation needs,’ said Smith Tuesday night.
