METEOROLOGIST ROBERT GAMBLE See Page 33 For Local Forecast Mind" and the Seventh Annual "Brain Bonanza For Kids" will take place on Saturday, March 31, from 10 am to 3 pm. Combined, the events are all about raising awareness of traumatic brain injuries. This year's Co-Chairpersons are Tammy Chapman and Chris Hundley. Both are parents of brain injured young men who somehow survived horrific accidents. Here are their awe inspiring stories. For the Hundleys, the day was Thursday, May 14, 1998. Their son Brian was sixteen years old and had just got his driver's license the preceding October. He was on the way home from Hardee's after getting breakfast. What happened on that fateful trip changed a lot of lives. While driving, Brian had an aneurysm, an AVM (Arterial Venous Mass). It caused him to lose control, accelerate to 75 miles s d per hour and impact an oak tree. He was rendered unconscious and was breathing less than six times a minute. It took EMS teams two and a half hours to free him from the wreckage. No one believed he would make it to the hospital. However, he did make it. Brian was in a coma for two and a half months and was hospitalized from May until September. That was fourteen years ago. Today, slowly, ever so slowly Brian Hundley improves. The day of the accident a nurse at the hospital gave Brian's dad, Chris, a pin that said "We Believe In Miracles!". He has worn that every day and has signs in front of his business and home that proclaim the same. Presently, Brian has limited use of his right arm and struggles with his speech and short-term memory. He works out two days a week at the gym and continues to improve himself. He is an inspiration and a blessing to know and be around. His parents feel God has a special plan for Brian. He's alive today and is truly a miracle son! On Thursday, September 2, 2004, Allen White, a nineteen year old young man, was on his motorcycle. He was traveling on Old Boiling Springs Road.

Andrews Carolina Farm Credit Shelby Service Center Participates in Cleveland County Potato Project The employees of the Carolina Farm Credit Shelby service center are participating in the Cleveland County Potato Project by growing potatoes and donating them to feed the hungry.

The program consists of volunteers who donate land, time, and funds to plant, grow, harvest, and donate potatoes. When the potatoes are harvested, they are donated to Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry, Salvation Army, Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association, and U-Can.
