Your Grassroots Radio Station ListentoLife.org LISTEN TO LIFE by Dr. Joey Faucette There once was a farmer who was an incurable grumbler. Hiram grumbled about everything all the time. He was never satisfi ed. One fall, he had the best apple crop for miles around. The apples were plentiful. There was a bumper crop. And there were hardly any bugs on them. You just couldn't ask for a better apple crop than the one Hiram had that year. Well, one of his neighbors stopped by to congratulate him, saying, "Well, Hiram, you sure ought to be happy now. This is the fi nest crop of apples ever raised in this county." Hiram shuffl ed his feet, grunted and then grumbled, "Well, I s'pose they'll do. But where's the rotten ones for the hogs?" Some of us just have to grumble no matter how great things are around us, don't we? So I guess working positive isn't a matter of how great business is, but how we choose to react to it—grumbling or grateful. As you Work Positive today, avoid grumbling like an Eeyore Vampire. Instead re- member you receive your Live Positive lifestyle and say, "Thank you" as you make a life worth living. Do you know someone who grumbles? Three regional entertainers perform on secondary stage; circus, games and characters highlight Kids' Zone As elements of the 7th In- ning Stretch Festival's return to Uptown Shelby after a two- year coronavirus-forced hia- tus, Cleveland County ALWS Baseball Inc.'s organizers are adding a secondary stage on Washington Street and ramp- ing up the entertainment for children and youth. The Festival, the ALWS committee's 'thank you' for the local community's sup- port, opens at 8:00 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, with the Road to Hope 5K; the Little Miss ALWS pageant is on the agenda for 10:00 a.m. at Shelby City Park Auditorium. The Uptown Shelby portion of the festival opens at 3:00 p.m., when regional musicians take the Washington Street stage. Tangerine Trees, a Beatles tribute band from Gastonia, will take the first set, followed by a veteran who performs his own music, and a contempo- rary Christian artist who has been writing songs since she was 11 years old. Tangerine Trees con- sists of four life-long musi- cians led by Roger Leonhart on vocals and guitar. Scott Moon supplies drums and vo- cals, Jimmy Ennis adds bass and vocals and John White plays guitar. Tangerine Trees evolved from an original band called String Theory, whose members noted a great inter- est in the Beatles tunes they performed. After a few special Beatles shows each year, they morphed into Tangerine Trees and have enjoyed bookings at many festivals and concerts around the Carolinas. The group covers many of the Beatles' well-known songs and some obscure ones. No wigs for this group; just atten- tion to detail in reproducing masterpiece music. When not performing alone, Justin Clyde Williams plays sideman for a friend or Tyler Hatley in The Dick and Tammy Show out of Dallas, N.C. Williams' songs are a soundtrack to his own life ex- periences. Traditional coun- try and bluegrass music with a variety of influences come across whether he is armed with a flat top or backed by a full band. Williams has two albums on Spotify - "Empty Rooms" and "Preamble." Other appearances this year are Grove Fest in June in Coddle Creek, N.C., and Ree- vestock Music Festival in Au- gust in Elkin, N.C. Dia V rounds out the af- ternoon with contemporary Christian music, including songs she wrote. A resident of Cleveland County, Dia V is part of the praise and worship team at Pleasant City Church. She also leads worship in other churches across North Carolina. DJ Wolfman, a local dee- jay and sound technician, will serve as host for the second- ary stage and provide music between the acts. A circus on Lafayette Street near Graham Steet will offer acrobats, jugglers, and clowns. Youngsters will find, also, a giant slide, mini golf, safe archery, a wrecking ball ride, an obstacle course, ath- letic team mascots and other characters placed throughout the festival area. "We are anticipating a Fes- tival to outshine all our pre- vious festivals," says Eddie Flolbrook, chairman of the local ALWS committee. "We are excited to have such a strong lineup of talent for all ages to enjoy. The games and activities for our younger crowd are more in number and more diverse than in previous years. We're hoping for a re- cord crowd." Sponsorships and ven- dor spaces are still available for the festival.
