FROM Page 1 "I was watching to make sure there were no torna- does," he said. The state did see a lot of tornadoes with this storm system, coined by meteorol- ogists as one of the deadliest Spring storms in years. A total of 62 twisters were spotted throughout North Carolina over the weekend, causing billions in dathages, killing 22 residents and in- juring more than 100. But Kings Mountain was lucky. Although the winds whipped the flags and gave flight to pretty much any- thing not weighted down at the walking track on Satur- day, tornadoes avoided the area. "The weather last night was tough, I know that," Mayor Rick Murphrey told the Firehouse contenders as they gathered around the stage for the awards cere- mony. "We had a lot of peo- ple here for the first time and a lot of you have returned. We thank you for that." | "We promised you a good contest but we said nothing about the weather," joked Kings Mountain Firefighter Eddie Parker. This was the 15th year the Kings Mountain Fire De- partment ‘has hosted the cook-off—a state champi- onship event that helps raise money to support the Kings Mountain Fire Museum, one of few in the state. Husband and wife team B.S. Pitmeis- ters (Charles and Leslie Fretwell) came to compete in the cook-off during their honeymoon five years ago. -Each year, the "Honey- mooners'" return to the Fire- house and fire up their grills. “For me, there will never be another contest that is more special to my heart than Kings Mountain,” — 77 [id [Te - § ol hE / 1783/70U Se #2 "7 fA Leslie told The Herald in 2009.

As the couple was called on stage on Saturday for. another award, 4th place overall, Leslie said, "This is my fa- vorite contest." ‘Anything Butt’ Kings Mountain firefight- ers, city leaders and volun- teers teamed up to judge a tasty contest Friday night in the Firehouse's Anything Butt competition.

Diabetes Caught Early Saves Lives & Money Early screening for type 2 diabetes not only saves lives, but it could save money in the long A new study shows that starting screening for diabetes between the ages of 30 and 45 would prevent a significant number of heart attacks, deaths, and diabetes-related health complications and add years of healthy living In the study, researchers used information from a representative sample of the U.S. population to create a simulated population of 325,000 peo- ple aged 30 without diabetes and then used a computer model to com- pare eight diabetes screening methods vs. no screening. The results showed that compared with no diabetes screening, all of the diabetes screening strategies: Reduced the number of heart attacks (3- 9 heart attacks prevented per 1,000 people screened); Prevented diaberes- related complications (3-9 events prevented per 1,000 people screening); Added 93-194 additional healthy life years per 1,000 people screened Most screening strategies prevented diabetes-related deaths (2.5 deaths prevented per 1,000 people screened.)
