The Kings Mountain Herald Page 3A Jack Greenfield hard at work in his art studio ANDIE BRYMER / HERALD Greenfield an amateur? Just look at BY ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer While Jack Greenfield describes himself as “only an amateur artist,” Southern Arts Society show-goers have a different opinion. Because of its popularity, the organization has extended Greenfield’s show, Familiar Places in Water Colors, through the end of March. It was originally scheduled to wrap up Sunday. Greenfield wanted the 15 buyers to be able to retrieve their paintings over the weekend as scheduled, so he brought addi- tional work to the Kings Mountain Art Center enabling the exhibit to continue. “Much to my surprise these sold really well,” Greenfield said. He credits the show’s popularity to the emotional cord many of the paintings struck. Greenfield often hears comments along the lines of “I grew up in a place like that” or “my grandparents had a house like that.” Greenfield fills his canvases with rural scenes of the south, his native Ohio and New England. Traveling with a camera, he captures the images and brings them back to the Kings Mountain home he shares with wife Helen Lancaster Greenfield. These KMMS students promote the CCS Character Trait of courage. his artwork One image is an old, south Georgia home- place complete with a tin roof. A brick well sits in the front yard. In another is a Cleveland County barn in winter. From north Ohio comes the snowy image of four spruce trees bordering a creek. In yet anoth- er a patchwork quilt hangs from the porch of an old home. Greenfields work also appears on the cover of “Monumental Recipes,” a cookbook produced by the Kings Mountain Woman's Club. Greenfield began painting seriously in his mid-40s. Now retired from the IRS, he has more time to devote to art. Attending a watercolor exhibit at the Memphis Academy of Art opened his eyes to what could be done with the medium. He went on to take classes at MAA though many of his tech- niques were learned through trIAL and error. Greenfield moved to Kings Mountain when he and Helen married. Both widowed, they met through his first wife's aunt. Though Greenfield spent much of his life in Washington, Memphis, Atlanta and Miami, he is impressed with small town living. “Everybody seems to know everybody,” he said.

Social Workers Month celebrated at White Oak BY ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer Social workers typically make others’ lives better and this month they are getting recognition for their work. March is social work month. At White Oak Manor, social work director Kerry Nanke and her staff are being honored for the job they do. Also known as resi- dent rights advocates, White Oak social workers act as a liaison between residents, their families and the staff, according to Nanke. That means making sure resi- dents are happy and content and that families have the information they need. Social workers also help residents with advanced directives like living wills. They coordinate visits by an ophthalmologist, psychia- trist and dentist. The job includes writing care plans which address residents, emotional needs. Nanke says she came to social work in a “round about way.” She graduated from college with a degree in elementary education. Nanke realized that wasn't the career for her and instead worked as an office manager for a Gastonia healthcare provider. Five years ago she came to White Oak as a social service assis- tant. Last summer she was KM students participate in NTHS induction Several Kings Mountain High School students par- ticipated in the county-wide National Technical Honor Society Induction in February.

Nanke describes her job as “the hardest job I've ever loved.” Families and residents look to her to solve prob- lems. Sometimes family members come to Nanke when their loved one is fac- ing death. “I don’t know how many times I've sat in here with families,” she said. “We've cried together. Their pain is my pain.” Nanke says she has found her niche in social work. “I like to work with peo- ple, make things better, feel like I’ve made a difference,” she said. In addition to nursing homes, social workers can be found on the job in schools, hospitals, hospices, counseling centers, correc- tional facilities and depart- ments of social services and other human services agen- cies. internet Made (FoF SETUP SOFTWARE makes connecting fost & easy! | 5 Email Addresses - Webmail 1 INSTANT MESSAGING - MM, MSH and Yahoo Free LIVE Technical Support!
