By JENNIFER HAMMER- STEIN Special to The Herald Do you participate in the Relay for Life efforts in your community because your workplace has a team and you're expected to? Or do you Relay because of the loss of a loved one or friend? For a majority of Relay for Life participants it’s because they've lost a family member "or dear friend to cancer. After, Renee Sisk lost her sister, Gwen Ellis, from a short battle with cancer in 1999 she began volunteering with Relay for Life and helped tally the money raised. Since that time she has lost still another loved one to cancer, her mother Annette Head. This year Sisk has joined her employer’s team at C.A. Short Company. This is the company’s first year partici- pating in Relay for Life, and Sisk’s family and co-workers are ready to raise more money than they have before. She and her sister, Kathy Williams, ask that you consider purchasing a raffle ticket to win a quilt made of blood, sweat, tears and love from Relay T-shirts from pre- vious years. Sisk says, “this quilt was made with blood from sticking our fingers with needles and pins; sweat from trying to figure out how to put it together; tears from, the laughter and missing those we've lost; and love for all the memories that RELAY From 1A Cross Reference will sing at 8 pm. and DJ‘ Ron Richardson will spin records from 9:30-10:30. The very popular ‘ Womanless Beauty Pageant will be held at 11 p.m. The closing ceremonies begin at 7 a.m. Saturday. Tammy Hogue and Tammy Wright are co-chairs of the event. Hogue, whose lost her mother Mary Ann Hutchins to cancer, believes this year’s Relay has the poten- tial to be the best ever. “We raised $92,000 last year and we have kind of said if we can at least get that well be happy,” she said. “Last year we brought in almost $60,000 the night of the relay, so there’s a very strong possibility we'll at least get that $92,000. My personal goal is I would like to see $100,000 raised.” The weatherman is calling for clear skies and warm weather on Friday and Saturday, so Hogue and other volunteers want to see all Kings Mountain area folks out supporting the walking teams. “Last year the weather was good and it brought the crowds out,” she said. “We're hoping that will bring everyone out again this year.” they've left us. You see we did this in memory of our mother and sister.” Their sis- ter, Gwen, went to be with the Lord in 1999 after a very short battle of rapid spread small cell carcinoma. She was only 43 years of age. After a fall doctors thought Gwen had ruptured a disk in her back. But the CT Scan, MRI and other tests revealed the cancer. She was diag- nosed on August 3, 1999, and passed away on August 31, 1999. Just 28 days later. Prior to the diagnoses Sisk had heard of people losing their battle, but never realized it could take someone’s life so quickly. Nearly five years passed before Sisk and Williams would be forced to think about the threat of losing another loved one. In July 2004 their mother, Annette, was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. She went through several treatment options because the cancer was in its early stage, but Sisk says, “Mother was already weak due to having quadruple bypass surgery in 2002.” Despite her weakness Sisk says, “she decided to have a mastectomy to ensure the disease was removed from her body.” All went well says Sisk, “she didn’t have to have chemo or radiation and there wasn’t any sign in the lymph nodes, everything looked good.” Then in October 2004, she began hav- ing difficultly walking, developed slurred speech and problems with her mem- ory. After thorough testing, the family was told the can- cer had metastasized to her brain. After considering how weak she was from her previous surgeries, the loss of her husband of 48 years, and the loss of her daughter Gwen, Annette decided not to have brain surgery to remove the tumors and she - also refused any further treatments. On March 18, 2005, Annette went to be with the Lord. - “I had been involved with - the Relay and wanted to do more, that's when my sister - and I decided to make this quilt to help raise money to fight this deadly disease. I strongly advise men and women to have their yearly physicals, mammograms, and prostate checked. ” Anyone wanting to pur- chase $1.00 tickets can con- tact Renee Sisk at 704-669- 2215 or email rsisk@cashort.com. They can also contact C.A. Short team captain Mary Conner at 704- 669-2296 or email mcon- ner@cashort.com The win- ning ticket will be drawn on May 20, 2006. The quilt will be on display at team captain meetings the second Tuesday of the month at Elizabeth Baptist Church and at the Cleveland County Relay for Life Event May 19 - 20, 2006. The winner will receive the quilt, a pillow and an antique quilt rack donated by C.A. Short KM approves farmer’s market Produce from local gardens will be available to the public this spring/summer at a Farmer's Market to go up in the parking lot between Cherokee and Battleground (behind the Red Cross building.) . City Council unanimously approved the creation of a mar- ket Tuesday night. Planning Director Steve Killian said that although one has operated before at the train depot site, it has not been as suc- cessful as desired and the spin off for downtown merchants was not realized. Killian said the planning board’s recommendation in sup- port of the plan was that a downtown market may bring additional customers and businesses to the downtown area. The ordinance text approved by the board stipulates that the market would operate up to 10 hours during two days per week and materials not permitted to be sold or traded at the market include live animals and durable goods such as elec- tronics, clothes, household items, tools, car parts and other non food items. Farmers can pick up an application form at city hall. WARE LARRY KINGS MOUNTAIN The Herald Published every Thursday Periodicals postage at Kings a, NC 28086 USPS 118-880 by Republic Newspapers, Inc.
