Wednesday, August 19, 2015 The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com NC Air Guardsmen deploy to fight fires Modular Airborne Fire- fighting System (MAFES) aircrew and a U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules air- craft from the 145th Airlift Wing, North Carolina Air National Guard located at the Charlotte Douglas In- ternational Airport, Char- lotte, have been federally activated to support fire- fighting missions in Cali- fornia. An aircrew from the 145th Airlift Wing de- parted last Thursday and is currently supporting fire- fighting operations in Cal- ifornia. A North Carolina Air National Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft equipped with the MAFES unit de- parted for California on Friday. Airmen and MAFFS units from the 145th Airlift Wing, along with other Air Force Reserve and Air Na- tional Guard MAFFS units, comprise the MAFFS Air Expeditionary Group and stand ready at any given time to answer our nation’s call to fight fires. MAFFS are portable fire retardant delivery sys- tems that can be inserted into military C-130 aircraft to convert them into large airtankers when needed. Military C-130s equipped with MAFFS can drop up to 3,000 gallons of fire re- tardant on wildfires. They can discharge their entire load in under five seconds or make variable drops. This photo shows the re- tardant discharge apparatus being tested. Photo cour- tesy NCANG.

HH Tricks to eat less Exercise and healthy eating are the main components to shedding pounds and maintain- ing that weight loss over the long haul. Although bodies and dietary needs vary from person to person, medical profession- als typically advise adults to consume a certain amount of calories per day to maintain long-term health. The National Health Ser- vice advises the average adult male needs approximately 2,500 calories per day to keep his weight constant, while the average adult female needs 2,000. Reducing caloric intake slightly can serve as a catalyst to losing weight. A healthy weight can reduce the risk of certain diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis-related joint pain. Men and women will find there are dozens of diets de- signed to help people eat less, and some of these may be more manageable than others. There also are additional strategies people can take to curb un- healthy eating habits, which can contribute to weight gain. * Drink more water. Dehy- dration symptoms can mimic the symptoms of hunger. Be- fore reaching for a snack, try a tall glass of water. Also, consume water before a meal and you will be less likely to overeat. «Use a smaller plate. It’s possible to trick the brain into thinking you're eating more See TRICKS, Page 15A Page 9A MUSIC FEST From Page 5A Garden members re- ceive free admission to the festival and addi- tional discounted tickets according to their level of membership.

Bands Featured in Lost Hollow Music Fest David Holt, who some may recognize as the host of PBS’s long-run- ning series Folkways, will perform with Josh Goforth, a fiddling virtu- oso who learned to play from some of the great innovators of music in the mountains of North Carolina. Holt performed with the late, great Doc Watson for 16 years, has won numerous awards including four Grammys and has dedicated his life to music and telling the story of the music of the Southern Appalachians. The 23-year-old Hull first picked up the man- dolin at age 8. By the time she was 11, Alli- son Kraus called to ask her to perform with her on the Grand Old Opry stage. Two years later she signed a record deal and released her first album at 16. She’s played the White House, Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center and will appear on the Lost Hollow stage with her trio. Also appearing is Un- derhill Rose, an Ashe- ville-based trio of women who have recently burst onto the Americana scene with soulful harmonies rooted in folk, bluegrass and blues. The band’s album Something Real from 2013 made it into the Americana charts and has been critically ac- claimed. Gaston County’s top musicians will also be on hand. Cherryville’s hus- band and wife duo Dar- rin & Brooke Aldridge have placed songs on the Americana, Gospel and Bluegrass charts. The two create incredible vocal harmonies and im- peccable acoustic music performances. Mount - Holly’s David Childers & The Serpents will also take the stage with his unique mix of secular and gospel lyrics and sound. The Avett Brothers’ Bob Crawford said Childers is the “most prolific North Carolina song-writer alive.” Local band River- “ bend, a new group of mu- sicians formed in Eastern Gaston County, rounds out the schedule. Qurnoo Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ One of the ways to get a great cycling workout without going a long distance is to ride to the pinnacle. That may sound like a motivational statement but in my area there is actually a place called the pinnacle. It is within the boundaries of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. It is a place where thousands of visi- tors travel each year to see the spectacular view, hike its trails, and learn about its history. From the visitors center to the pin- nacle is only about 3 ¥2 miles but the elevation gain is almost 3000 feet. This one, big, long hill is a challenge to cyclists to say the least. It becomes even more difficult when her par- ticipants decide to repeat the trek multiple times. My personal best is three but | can remember the first time | ever made it to the top. | thought | had won a medal in the Olympics. At my age, speed is not a priority. Finishing is all that matters. One of the most satisfying moments of these rides comes when, on occasion, some motorist yells their words of encour- agement, sticks up their thumb in approval, or claps in appre- ciation as our paths cross. It never fails that no matter how difficult the past few pedals have been, no matter how much sweat is in my eyes, or how bad | want to get off and walk, | become renewed and strengthened to continue my uphill battle. In those simple, slow, and silent moments, the voice of encouragement screams its value. It is palpable both mentally and physically. It is my sincere and genuine belief that this ought to be the picture of what happens each time believers gather together on a Sunday morning. | believe it is the business of pastors and parishioners to be people who are constantly showing our encouragement and appreciation for those who have been fighting the good fight of faith. Some of those individu- als have had a tough week. They have endured difficulty for simply choosing to follow Christ. And just like my cycling trips, they do it because in the midst of its challenge, there is a love that keeps drawing them to its gratification. | say, at our churches, we replace greeters with clappers and instead of shaking someone’s hand, we stand in applause for each one who comes through our doors in appreciation for the faith-feats they do each week. For those who are on the verge of quitting; their resolve would be reinforced and for those who feel as if they are pedaling the journey alone, their strength would be renewed. Encouragement really is a powerful tool. It works on those who struggle the greatest or the least and its power can be released through a card, a word, or even a thumb pointing up from an anonymous passerby. | applaud you today. Now go and see who you can do the same. gary @outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org
