shelby shopper & info - 704/484-1047 About Children's Grief Awareness Day Children's Grief Awareness Day is observed every year on the third Thursday in November (the Thursday before the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving). This time of year is a particularly appropriate time to support grieving children because the holiday season is often an especially difficult time after a death. Children's Grief Awareness Day seeks to bring attention to the fact that often support can make all the difference in the life of a grieving child. In 2013, Children's Grief Awareness Day will be Thursday, November 21. Children's Grief Awareness Day provides an opportunity for all of us to raise awareness of the painful impact that the death of a loved one has in the life of a child, an opportunity to make sure that these children receive the support they need. Children and grief: Before they graduate from high school, one child out of every 20 will have a parent die — and that number doesn't include those who experience the death of a brother or sister, a close grandparent, aunt or uncle, or friend. Children who have had someone die — especially a close family member — can feel the loss forever. They eventually go back to school. They might pick some activities back up. They certainly look "normal." And yet there's still that hole inside. It often gets worse during the holiday season when the already hard feelings of longing and pain become intensified and when memories of past holidays contrast sharply with the loss of the present holiday. This is a time of year when the grieving child can feel even more set apart, different from their peers, more alone than ever. Every school and every community has children who have experienced some type of loss. Even if they keep their loss and experience to themselves, there are many children who are grieving among us. These children can be helped to not feel so alone. Children and adults together can show their support for grieving children and show their awareness of what grieving children might be going through by participating in Children's Grief Awareness Day.

From: Daphne Rogan Of Victoria, Australia To: Don Gibson Of Shelby, NC - "I Can't Stop Loving You" She never met him and never spoke to him, but from over 11,400 miles away, she fell in love with him. His voice and his music were to her "the most beautiful and most talented she's ever heard." His name is Donald Eugene Gibson, who was born into a poor working class family in Shelby, N.C. and quit school in the second grade. His love for music and his talent as a wordsmith, made Don Gibson one of the greatest in the world. In 1957 Mr. Gibson traveled to Nashville to work with Chet Atkins and RCA Records. He recorded "Oh Lonesome Me" and "I Can't Stop Loving You". The songs became a double sided hit that topped the charts on both country and pop. Daphne Rogan, from Australia, has come to Shelby three times to visit Don Gibson's grave at Sunset Cemetery and meet his wife, Bobbie. She returned for the opening of the Don Gibson Theatre four years ago and just came back in honor of the tenth anniversary of his passing (November 17, 2003). Mrs. Rogan lives in Victoria, Australia and can't get enough of Don Gibson. Daphne, now 77 years old, was just 16 years old when she fell in love with Don and his recordings. In her honor, on Wednesday, November 13th, Holly Brock of Holly's Flowers and Janet Berry of Frame Masters held a reception at McNeilly Photography and Frame Masters Gallery at 1241 Fallston Road in Shelby. It was a special event to recognize this special lady that travels all the way from Australia to Shelby to pay tribute to it's native son, Don Gibson. –M.A. Andrews BANKRUPTCY We are a debt relief agency.

Local EMS Volunteer Receives NC Long Leaf Pine Recognition For Over 50 Years Of Service David Blando Clary, a fifty-four year member of the Shelby Rescue Squad was recognized for his outstanding continuous service to the community by receiving the North Carolina Order of the Long Leaf Pine during Cleveland Community College's annual Fire and Rescue College Banquet on Saturday, November 9, at the LeGrand Center. Clary was nominated by Brown Emergency Training Center Coordinator, Jimmy Hensley, and Emergency Medical Services Coordinator, Tommy McNeilly, for being a pioneer in the concept of emergency medical services. Clary was born in Boiling Springs and has been a volunteer for Shelby Rescue Squad since 1959. He has devoted the greater part of his life volunteering to help those in need and provided emergency care to the ill and injured of Cleveland County and surrounding areas several years before North Carolina or the nation had EMS legislation in place.

The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented by the Governor to individuals who have a proven record of extraordinary service to the state, to their community, and for many years of service to an organization.
