When Mack and Brenda 

Timberlake were young 

ministers at the church that 

became the Christian Faith 

Center in Creedmoor, the two 

were faced with the problem 

that they didn’t have a joint 

budget for their family. 

“We had to organize a 

budget system,” Brenda 

Timberlake said. “We put 

The Christian Faith Center operates their ministry from the building complex shown above which is on Peachtree Street in Creedmoor. 

CFC is poised to continue their efforts in fulfilling their vision of building a “City Within a City.” This “City” will include the Noah’s Ark 

Complex, a projected 205,000 square foot structure which will house a larger state-of-the-art sanctuary, numerous office sites, two 

gymnasiums, larger weight and fitness room, bowling alley, game rooms, larger cafeteria, meeting rooms and other amenities. In addition, 

the vision of the “City Within a City” will contain a home for unwed mothers, home for recovering drug addicts, boys’ home, orphanage,

H1N1 Vaccine Available At 

Granville Health Department 

H1N1 Flu Clinics in the 

Granville and Vance County 

Health Departments 

currently have a limited 

supply of H1N1 flu vaccine 

and expect to continue to 

receive shipments over the 

next several months. In 

addition to the local health 

departments, most private 

provider offices will be 

receiving H1N1 flu vaccine as 

well. Please check with your 

private provider for 

availability. 

The Granville and Vance 

County Health Departments 

will hold a special H1N1 Flu 

Clinic on Tuesday, December 

1 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., 

while supplies last. 

The health departments 

in Vance and Granville 

County will be holding H1N1 

flu clinics on each Friday 

afternoon from 1 p. m. to 4 p. 

m. with the exception of 

November 27th and 

December 25th, while 

supplies last. The cost of the 

H1N1 flu vaccine is free. 

The Granville and Vance 

County health departments 

are currently out of seasonal 

flu and are unsure when, or 

if, they will receive any 

additional doses. Those 

wishing to get immunized for 

the seasonal flu are urged to 

get the seasonal flu at a 

private physicians location. 

If you are part of any of 

the following priority groups 

you can get your H1N1 

vaccine at most private 

provider offices or at the 

health department: Pregnant 

women; caregivers of infants 

younger than 6 months of age; 

individuals 6 months of age 

through 24 years of age but 

younger that 65 years of age 

with underlying chronic 

conditions (i.e. chronic 

pulmonary (including 

should stay home and avoid 

contact with other people 

except to get medical care. 

Most people with 2009 H1N1 

have had a mild illness and 

have not needed medical care 

or antiviral drugs and the 

same is true of seasonal flu. 

However, some people are 

most likely to get flu 

complications and they should 

talk to a health care provider 

about whether they need to be 

examined if they get flu 

symptoms this season. They 

are: 

Children younger than 5, 

and especially children 

younger than 2 years old, 

People 65 or older, Pregnant 

women, People who have 

cancer, blood disorders 

(including sickle cell disease), 

Chronic lung disease 

(including asthma or chronic 

obstructive pulmonary disease 

(COPD), Diabetes, Heart 

Disease, Kidney disorders, 

Liver disorders, Neurological 

disorders (including nervous 

system, brain or spinal cord), 

Neuromuscular disorders 

(including muscular dystrophy 

and multiple sclerosis), 

Weakened immune system 

(including people with AIDS). 

Also, it’s possible for 

healthy people to develop 

severe illness from the flu so 

anyone concerned about their 

illness should consult a health 

care provider. 

There are emergency 

care right away. 

What are the emergency 

warning signs? 

In children: Fast 

breathing or trouble 

breathing, bluish skin color, 

not drinking enough fluids, 

not waking up or not 

interacting, being so irritable 

that the child does not want 

to be held, Flu-like symptoms 

improve but then return with 

fever and worse cough, and 

fever with a rash. 

In Adults: Difficulty 

breathing or shortness of 

breath, Pain or pressure in 

the chest or abdomen, 

Sudden dizziness, Confusion, 

Severe or persistent 

vomiting. 

Do I need to go to the 

emergency room if I am 

only a little sick? 

No. The emergency room 

should be used for people who 

are very sick. You should not 

go to the emergency room if 

you are only mildly ill. If you 

have the emergency warning 

signs of flu sickness, you 

should go to the emergency 

room. If you get sick with flu 

symptoms and are at high 

risk of flu complications or 

you are concerned about your 

illness, call your health care 

provider for advice. If you go 

to the emergency room and 

you are not sick with the flu, 

you may catch it from people 

who do have it. 

Are there medicines to 

asthma), cardiovascular 

(except hypertension), renal, 

hepatic, cognitive, neurologic/ 

neuromuscularhematologic, 

metabolic disorders (including 

diabetes mellitus), or 

immunosuppression 

( i n c l u d i n g 

immunosuppression caused 

by medications or by human 

immunodeficiency virus) and 

healthcare and EMS workers. 

The following information 

is made available from the 

CDC regarding H1N1 and 

seasonal flu. 

What To Do If You Get Sick: 

2009 H1N1 and Seasonal 

Flu. How do I know if I 

have the flu? 

You may have the flu if you 

have some or all of these 

symptoms: 

fever, cough, sore throat, 

runny or stuffy nose, body 

aches, headache, chills, 

fatigue, sometimes diarrhea 

and vomiting. 

It’s important to note that 

not everyone with the flu will 

have a fever. 

What should I do if I get 

sick? 

If you get sick with flu-like warning signs. Anyone who

ourselves on a joint budget 

and allowances. We didn’t 

take loans. We paid cash.” 

First the Timberlakes put 

themselves on a budget — and 

then told others in the church 

how to budget — as always 

they were meeting the 

practical needs of the people 

of their church in everyday 

life. The church grew because 

it met those needs, Pastor 

Brenda Timberlake said. 

Meanwhile, the 

Timberlakes’ own family grew. 

They reared their seven 

children while Mack 

Timberlake held day jobs 

during the 1970’s and worked 

part-time as a minister. The 

couple wrote seven books 

during 30 years, and they 

extended their ministry via 

TV and to a congregation 

meeting at a center on 

Peachtree Street in 

Creedmoor where 2,000 could 

gather to hear Brenda 

Timberlake and the late Mack 

Timberlake. 

“They have been focused 

on trying to help members 

improve their day-to-day 

living,” Creedmoor Mayor 

Darryl Moss said of the 

Timberlakes and the 

Christian Faith Center (CFC). 

“They worked very hard at 

that.” 

Mayor Moss’s cousins 

were members of the church 

at 202 Watson Street when it 

was called the First Baptist 

Church, as Pastor Mack 

Timberlake began his 

“practical teaching of the word 

of God for debt-free living,” 

according to CFC history. 

But growth didn’t come 

without a crisis of growing 

pains early in the ministry. 

The congregation dwindled to 

25 when the Timberlakes’ 

teachings took a new course 

in a “move of the Holy Spirit” 

that drove some members 

away, according to a 1987 

church history. 

Members who stayed with 

the church through that bad 

time are set down in the 

history of the church. Some 

are Cleora Allen, Mary 

Tharrington, Lonnie and 

Mandy Moss and Robert 

Taylor. 

Brenda Timberlake spoke 

of carrying on the couple’s 

work, while the CFC grew 

locally and via the media, so 

that people as far away as 

California and the Phillipines 

knew of Mack Timberlake’s 

battle with throat cancer in 

1997 and his death in 2002. 

Brenda Timberlake talked 

calmly of her husband Mack’s 

fight with cancer. “It enabled 

me to transition to senior

ALL MY CHILDREN 

Cooking Column 

After Kat left Zach an 

Crossword Puzzle 

unknown. Coming: A frantic 

We can be thankful that after a whole year of holidays spent 

wondering where Kelly Currin was at least this Thanksgiving 

we have the closure to know what happened to Kelly. As a 

community we are now able to wrap arms around the family 

who has had to live through more than a year of searching for a 

result that we all feared. 

Finding Kelly’s remains does 

not end the grief that her 

family and so many in the 

community have felt. 

Still, it is a relief to be able to 

honor her memory with a 

Memorial Service without the 

doubt of wondering where she 

might be. That unanswered 

question weighed so heavily on 

the backs of her family and 

friends for over 14 months. 

During the search the 

community joined together to 

take care of one of its own the 

way this community has done 

so many times. 

The tragedy of losing this 

young woman, who had so 

much promise, and her being 

taken away from the young 

children that needed her, is one 

that many families can 

understand. 

ELLY ELIZABETH CURRIN 

It is important that her 

uniqueness can finally be 

brought back into the 

protective fold of those who she cared about and those who cared 

about her. 

Literally hundreds of people took part in the searches and 

candlelight vigils for Kelly. Hundreds prayed that she would be 

found. Those prayers have now been answered. 

Everyone can be thankful this Thanksgiving that at last she 

has been found and we can turn toward celebrating her life and 

the positive contributions she has left with us. 

A memorial service, for Kelly Elizabeth Currin, the daughter 

of Pat and Juanita Currin of Stem and Wanda and Keith Hollis 

of Hillsborough will be conducted at 3 pm Saturday, November 

28th at Bible Baptist Church, which is located just off of I-85 at 

exit 189, the Butner exit at 2047 Gate Two Road in Creedmoor 

by Rev. Keith Williams and Rev. Rod Chaney. 

A Thanksgiving Prayer 

We thank thee for our daily bread, 

For faith by which the soul is fed; 

For burdens given us to bear, 

For help that lifts the heart’s despair. 

We thank thee, Lord, for eyes to see, 

The truth that makes, and keeps us free; 

For faults — and for the strength to mend them, 

For strength— and courage to defend our dreams. 

We have so much to thank thee for, 

Dear Lord, we beg but one wish more; 

Peace in the hearts of all men loving, 

Peace in the whole world on Thanksgivings to come.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope 

November 26, 2009 - December 2, 2009 

by Lasha Seniuk 

www.mysticstars.net 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): 

Value successes more than 

failures. You have a tendency 

to take the shotgun approach 

to gaining supporters. You 

might scatter your ideas and 

opinions on fertile ground by 

accident this week. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): 

Accept praise with a grain of 

salt, but remain brutally frank 

with yourself. In the upcoming 

week, people may sugarcoat a 

few things to earn your respect 

or assistance, but you must 

face the truth. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): 

Chest-beating selfaggrandizement 

can put you in 

the public eye. You may think 

you have the upper hand, but 

could have difficulty in getting 

others to agree with your 

opinion of yourself in the week 

to come. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): 

If you are the sum of 

everything that has ever 

happened to you, then take 

steps to make sure that 

everything that happens is 

pleasant. This is a great week 

to spend with family or around 

your own hearth. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take 

a bootstraps approach to your 

business objectives in the week 

ahead. Anything worth doing 

well is worth doing yourself. 

You could find that people offer 

promises they are unable to 

honor or complete. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): 

Take a survey and gather 

opinions. You might find that 

the views expressed by others 

do not always have your best 

interests at heart. Take 

promises with a grain of salt 

this week, especially regarding 

finances. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): 

Too much turkey can be the 

most tremendous trouble to 

tend to this week. You may 

tend to overeat, overdo or 

21 Hindu exercise 

discipline

51 Encryptions 

52 Alamogordo event 

54 Han Solo’s girlfriend 

55 Small group 

56 Police call letters 

57 Maiden-name indicator 

exaggerate in some way. Be 

aware that your promises and 

assurances should be honored. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): 

Your thorniest problem in the 

week ahead might be how to 

grab an extra piece of pumpkin 

pie. You might be smothered by 

invitations to holiday outings 

and forced to punch a new hole 

in your belt. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- 

Dec. 21): Don’t parlay a 

premise into a promise. 

Because you could be feeling 

on top of the world this week, 

you might think you can 

handle just about anything, 

even if you are completely 

unprepared to do so. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 

19): Know yourself, but don’t 

let the rest of the world know 

you too well. You have 

numerous ambitions but aren’t 

ready to act. You may be wise 

to keep some of them a secret 

during the week ahead. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 

18): Use your visitors pass. 

Since people in general 

perceive you as being tolerant 

and open-minded, they are 

likely to take you into their 

confidence or invite you into 

their homes during the week 

to come. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): 

A family member’s advice 

might be priceless, but never 

forget the old adage that you 

get what you pay for. This 

week you might find that other 

people’s opinions are not based 

on reliable facts.

“The problem of power is 

how to achieve its responsible 

use rather than its irresponsible 

and indulgent 

use — of how to get men of 

power to live for the public 

rather than off the public.” 

— Robert E. Kennedy 

The idea of citizen legislators 

representing the 

interests of the people they 

serve has in many cases been 

replaced by elected 

“representatives” who actually 

make a career out of the job of 

U. S. Representative or U. S. 

Senator. Far too often 

the legislators represent the 

special interests, even to the 

disadvantage of the hardworking 

taxpayers whose votes 

the legislators need. 

Sometimes the campaign 

contributions from the special 

interests make are more 

important to the career 

politicians than the best 

interests of the people the 

elected official serve. 

It is not all the elected 

officials who work this way. 

There are those in the House 

and Senate who put their 

impressions of the best 

interests of all the citizens 

ahead of their personal advancement. 

There are also 

others who make public service 

a part of the priority for their 

legislative staff. 

Unfortunately, however, too 

many elected officials choose a 

few causes to work on and take 

the money from the special interests 

to pay for expensive T.V. 

ad campaigns to power their 

image back home to insure reelection. 

The House and Senate 

encourages the legislators to 

seek long terms in office 

because it takes seniority to 

advance on the committees and

About Letters 

to other positions of 

authority in legislative 

service. 

What often happens is 

that the longer a legislator 

serves, the less he feels he 

needs the people back home. 

Coming back to the 

districts becomes a chore 

that has to be taken on 

sometimes with regret. 

The most negative part 

of the system as it is has become 

the disconnect that the 

career politicians have with 

their former neighbors back 

“home” and the influence of 

the Washington 

establishment to fall into 

the trap of compromise to 

build a power base. 

Has our system gone to 

far to change? The most 

probable answer to that is 

“yes”. 

What could work better? 

The legislators don’t 

want to hear that answer. 

But if legislators’ terms 

were limited to no more 

than two terms, like the 

term of the president of the 

United States, we would 

likely have elected advocates 

who would not get as 

caught up in the institution 

of Washington power politics 

and would be more like 

the citizen legislators which 

was the idea visualized by 

the founding fathers. 

It is the responsibility 

and the right of our country’s 

citizens to hold accountable 

the representatives 

we elect to serve us. 

A good way to accomplish 

this goal is for citizens 

to demand term limits to 

dilute the concentration of 

power of special interest 

groups to the expense of the 

will of the people.

Next year's election 

could prove quite confusing 

for voters here in North 

Carolina. 

Unless voters pay careful 

attention, they may suddenly 

suppose that they're 

sitting in a movie theater 

watching "Dumb and 

Dumber." 

Who's wearing the 

powder blue tuxedo and 

who's wearing the orange 

one, the Democrats or the 

Republicans, isn't clear just 

yet. 

Republicans are doing 

their best Jim Carrey with 

a notion that open primary 

elections may no longer be a 

good thing, especially for a 

party intent on driving away 

everyone who's not an 

Obama-hating, Ann Coulterloving, 

flag-waving, gaybashing, 

book-burning, antiabortion 

activist. 

North Carolina doesn't 

have completely open 

primaries in which 

registered voters, regardless 

of party affiliation, can cast 

ballots in either party 

primary. But since 1994, 

both the state Democratic 

You have to hand it 

to Sarah Palin. I don't mean 

you have to hand her the 

2012 nomination. Nor do 

you have to hand her the 

$24.64 I overpaid for "Going 

Rogue." 

But let us give credit 

where credit card is due. 

Remember back in the 

1990s when Hillary Clinton 

described herself as the 

Rorschach test for how 

people felt about the 

women's movement? Palin 

has become the latest test 

for shifting common ground 

and fault lines between 

sisterhood and sibling 

rivalry. 

It's been like this since 

the Palintologists discovered 

her in Alaska and 

put her on the national 

ticket of the Grand Old 

(Boy) Party. She brought inyour-face 

words to 

conservatism: "To any 

critics who say a woman 

can't think and work and 

carry a baby at the same 

time, I'd just like to escort 

that Neanderthal back to 

the cave." 

The GOP had been 

hibernating in that cave for 

decades. But the moosekilling 

former governor and 

mother of five made it 

politically incorrect for the 

"family values" crowd to 

trash working moms. She 

created a demilitarized 

zone in the culture wars. 

Republican women could 

juggle a BlackBerry and a 

breast pump. They too 

could do it all! 

Voting Whig 

Party and 

the state 

Republican 

Party have 

allowed 

unaffiliated 

voters to cast 

a ballot in 

either primary. 

(Not 

both; you 

have to chose 

one or the other.) 

That makes pretty good 

sense, especially for 

Republicans. As of mid- 

November, they made up 

just 31.8 percent of North 

Carolina's registered voters. 

And in late 2007 and early 

2008, the North Carolina 

GOP lost a net 18,000 

registered voters. 

Let that trend continue 

long enough, and 

unaffiliated voters, now at 

22.7 percent of registered 

voters, will be larger than 

the Republican Party in 

North Carolina. 

The point is, Republicans 

don’t win statewide elections 

in North Carolina without 

unaffiliated voters. 

But now some party 

At the 

same, her 

appearance 

on the 

national 

ticket, after 

Clinton's 

defeat, 

challenged 

the Hillarylanders' 

comfy notion 

that voting 

for a woman 

was a feminist act in itself. 

Especially if the candidate 

was a pro-life conservative. 

Now, we have the rogue 

elephant book tour, starring 

Sarah as she bashes 

McCainites and media. Her 

memory of the campaign fits 

a definition of political 

Alzheimer's: She's forgotten 

everything but the grudges. 

Nevertheless, the 

Newsweek cover photo of the 

former vice presidential 

candidate in short-shorts -- 

originally taken for 

Runner's World -- is 

deliberately cheesy enough 

to make her most earnest 

opponent wince. Whoopi 

Goldberg, no Palin-ophile 

she, saw sexism in the photo 

op. 

At the same time, even 

women who are profoundly 

tired of the fact that we have 

to be overqualified to win are 

turned off by a celebrity pol 

who still won't admit she 

was wildly underqualified. 

The most authentic parts 

of the book are not those of 

a Palin as rogue but as a 

child and mother. And then 

activists and 

officials want 

the party's 

executive 

committee to 

block unaffiliated 

voters from 

By Scott 

voting in the 

Mooneyham 

GOP primary. 

According to 

their resolution, 

primary turnout is 

"generally low" and the 

inclusion of unaffiliated 

voters is resulting in "a more 

moderate candidate being 

elected in some areas of the 

state." 

Apparently for supporters 

of this plan, turnout 

isn't low enough, GOP 

candidates not fringe 

enough. 

Next up on the party 

agenda: Sarah Palin and 

Dick Armey fly to the state 

to endorse unelectable 

candidates who look like 

Orville Redenbacher and 

speak like Ernest T. Bass.

she remembers thinking,

a cute line in the 1970s. But 

as a politician in this 

century she doesn't offer any 

policy to help working

"Going Rogue" is short on 

self-reflection and long on 

attitude, including blame. 

But the author is also the 

female face of the 

Republican Party. Liz 

Cheney goes so far as to say 

that "it would be nothing 

short of sexist to say that 

simply she is not a serious 

candidate." 

More than half of 

Republicans think Palin is 

qualified to be president. 

Well, the book includes a 

transcript of a beauty 

contest back in the 1980s 

when Sarah the Barracuda 

was a contender. Asked 

whether she'd vote for a vice 

presidential or presidential 

candidate just because she 

was a woman, Palin 

answered, "No, I would not 

vote for someone just 

because they were a 

woman." Sarah's lesson.

members will be recognized. 

Board nominees include 

John L. Bryant. 

“The annual meeting is 

the best single opportunity to 

outline our plans for the 

future to our membership and 

discuss our progress in 

meeting our financial goals,” 

notes Paul Kelley, manager, of 

Southern States Cooperative, 

Inc.-Creedmoor Service. 

Foudned in 1923, 

Southern States now has 

more than 300,000 farmermembers. 

As one of the

How To Enjoy Thanksgiving Meals With Your Toddler 

During the month of 

November, many families are 

eagerly awaiting what is 

perhaps the most anticipated 

meal of the year. If you’re the 

parent of a toddler, your 

thoughts of Thanksgiving 

dinner might be very similar 

to how the Pilgrims and 

Indians felt as they shared 

their favorite foods with each 

other. 

Not only was the first 

Thanksgiving a lesson in 

friendship, it was a lesson in 

food preparation and new 

tastes. As these worlds 

merged together ’round the 

table, there were probably a 

few picky little Pilgrim or 

Indian dinner guests who had 

to taste something new that 

day. It was a learning 

opportunity on both sides, as 

will be serving up new foods 

to your little Pilgrim this 

Thanksgiving. 

As a parent, of course you 

know there are so many 

things to be thankful for at 

Thanksgiving. One thing that 

parents—of picky eaters 

especially—should count as a 

blessing is the opportunity 

that this meal presents to 

festively share new foods with 

children. While Thanksgiving 

dinner is great for helping 

your child experience the 

foods of fall, remember that 

these foods are meant to be 

experienced throughout the 

season and be thankful for 

that. 

The opportunities to share 

nutritional lessons with your 

child really are bountiful this 

time of year. Let your child 

know that they can be a great 

helper in the food preparation 

process. They can help you 

pick a healthy recipe, shop for 

ingredients, and even play a 

role in cooking that winning 

dish. Helping your little chef 

identify with their own 

special role in the holiday 

meal preparation can really 

go a long way in your quest to 

make them a healthy eater. 

This will increase their 

awareness and comfort level 

with new foods, and as an 

added bonus, they’ll be more 

inclined to eat some of the 

meal that she helped prepare 

too! 

As you’re reveling in the 

festivities of fall, remember 

that this season is loaded with 

so many fantastic, tasty, and 

GOODWIN ’ S 

FRASER 

FIRS 

healthy foods that you can be 

introducing to your toddler, 

such as sweet potatoes, 

turnips, carrots, celery, winter 

squash (butternut, acorn, 

spaghetti), pumpkin, broccoli, 

beets, parsnips, cauliflower, 

green beans, snow peas, kale, 

Swiss chard, spinach, 

collards, avocados, pears, 

pomegranates, persimmons, 

apples, cranberries, turkey, 

beans, and whole grain 

breads, rolls, wild rice 

Looking for a little more 

help in the kitchen this 

Thanksgiving? Here’s a 

Turkey Day dining guide and 

a list of kitchen tasks to tempt 

your toddler into adopting 

some new food favorites. 

Many of these can be prepared 

ahead of time to avoid tiring 

out your little helper. 

Appetizers (Serve these 

with some fun fall cocktail 

napkins. Even the table 

decorations encourage trying 

different foods.) 

• Sliced hard boiled eggs: 

Your toddler can help arrange 

them on the tray. 

• Raw veggie bites with 

hummus and yogurt dips: Let 

your toddler create a dip with 

yogurt, a little honey, or 

vanilla spice. 

• Cheese, olives, and whole 

grain cracker tray: Include 

some black olives for some 

holiday finger food fun. (Not 

too many! These are high in 

sodium.) 

• Soup: Butternut, sweet 

potato, or pumpkin soups are 

winners! Use milk instead of 

cream and low sodium broth. 

Have your toddler help spoon 

soup into mugs and his own 

special cup. (Make sure it has 

cooled first.) 

Sides: 

• Cranberry relish: This 

dish is loaded with 

antioxidant power and was 

designed with toddlers in 

mind. They can measure 

cranberries and help grind 

and taste. Grind or mix in a 

food processor 2 cups fresh 

cranberries with 2 small 

oranges (rind and all) and 1⁄2 

cup sugar or to taste. 

• Jell-O salad: Abandon the 

sugary-sweet ambrosia salad 

for a Jell-O mold with fresh 

fruits or avocado whipped 

with light cream cheese. 

• Gravy: Throw in some ice 

cubes to separate the fat from 

the juice and skim the fat off 

the top. Older children who 

are cautious around hot 

burners can stir the gravy 

while it thickens. 

• Sautéed veggies: Try 

carrot “coins” with ginger and 

honey, snow peas, sliced 

turnips with maple syrup and 

raisins, or green beans. Your 

toddler can design the veggies 

into fun shapes, such as trees, 

stars, and faces on the serving 

plate. 

• Whipped sweet potatoes: 

Whip steamed sweet potatoes 

with some plain yogurt. 

Your toddler will love the 

out by telling you when the 

timer goes off for basting or 

packaged breadcrumbs and 

have your toddler tear up 

small pieces of dry, whole 

grain bread into a big bowl for 

stuffing mix. Sneak in some 

extra veggies and fruit by 

mixing in some chopped 

parsnips, apples, raisins, kale 

or chard before baking or 

low in fat and contain natural 

sweetness, so not much sugar 

is needed. They are also 

pumpkin or canned, organic 

pumpkin, skim evaporated 

can make a custard-style, 

crust-less pie too; just bake 

the filling in a nonstick or 

oiled pie pan. Have your 

toddler help you scoop a little 

frozen vanilla yogurt, ice 

cream, or soy dessert for some 

apple crisp with some 

cranberries thrown in and 

have your toddler help 

sprinkle on the crumble 

topping. (Watch that they 

halves: Make sure to have 

plenty of napkins to pick out 

edible seeds from these fun, 

Research shows that 

when children help out in the 

kitchen, try new foods, and 

get to experience meals with 

their families, they are likely 

to have healthy eating habits 

• Potato parsnip mash: 

“white carrot.” 

Main course: 

• Turkey, or your meat of 

choice. Your toddler can help 

baking. 

• Stuffing: Forgo the 

sautéed celery, onion, 

stuffing. 

Dessert (These choices are 

loaded with vitamins!) 

• Pumpkin Pie: Use fresh 

milk, and brown sugar. You 

à la mode action! 

• Fruit crisps: Try a pear or 

don’t eat it all!) 

• Sliced pomegranate 

polyphenol-packed, fingerstaining 

fruits.

Happy Thanksgiving 

From 

BP’s Auto Sales, Inc. 

Our most popular program is a “Lease to Own”. Basically, you 

lease a vehicle for about 2 years. At the end of the lease we hand 

you the title and it’s yours! There are no additional fees or 

payments to be made. During the 2 year lease we are partners in 

the ownership of the car. We provide a warranty to cover the 

drive train and most major components. For items not covered 

under warranty, we offer substantial discounts on repairs. 

Other benefits of buying at BP’s 

Don O’Berg, Owner of BP’s Auto 

• Up front money is far less than you find at other dealers. $899 

to $1199 gets you into a nice vehicle usually with less than 100k 

miles. 

• There are no credit checks. 

• Only the nicer, low mileage cars qualify for the lease to own 

program. 

• Unlike other car purchases, at BP’s you are never “upside 

down” in your vehicle. In other words you will never owe more 

for your car than the car is worth. 

• Easy return policy. If at any time during the lease you decide 

you don”t want the vehicle just bring it back. There are no 

penalties, no pay off, no hits on your credit, no added fees. 

• Want to trade up? Bring back the car you’re currently 

leasing at any time and we’ll give you a discount on the 

up front cost of your new car. It’s that simple. 

• For more details or to see what’s available, just visit our

When these two team met 

two year ago the margin of 

victory was 81 points. This 

could have destroyed the moral 

of the Granville Central 

program, instead it 

strengthened the resolve of the 

team to work hard and improve. 

The first quarter against 

Chapel Hill proved that the 

strong work ethics in the gym 

were paying off for the 

Panthers. 

Granville Central and the 

Tigers were tied 19 all at the 

end of the first quarter. The 

Tiger rallied to take a 10 point 

lead at the half 42-32. By the 

end of the third quarter the 

Tigers began pulling away 67- 

39. The Tigers pulled away for 

the win again dominating the 

final quarter. 

Coach McDaniel 

commented, “We started off the 

game great 19-19 (end of 1st 

qtr), played a great 12 minutes, 

but until we can put together an 

entire game (32 minutes) it will 

be tough for us to beat really 

good teams. They punished us 

down low in the 2nd half & used 

their size to over power us & get 

easy opportunities near the 

basket.”

The City of Creedmoor 

recently negotiated a project 

that they expect will improve 

city sidewalks. 

The company contracted 

to do the work is Precision 

Safe Sidewalks. They use a 

precision concreted cutting 

method for trip hazard repair 

on uneven sidewalks and 

other concrete walkways. 

This restoration approach 

is a method more effective 

and less expensive than 

conventional scabblers and 

concrete grinders. Weather 

permitting; the sidewalk 

restoration project is 

scheduled for December 2nd, 

3rd, & 4th. 

Creedmoor’s City 

Manager, Tom Mercer said he 

was excited to be able to plan 

these types of infrastructure 

improvements for the City 

and its citizens. 

“It was important to us to 

respond to our citizens 

requests for smoother 

sidewalks, so I was pleased 

when we found this company. 

They came to Creedmoor 

back in September to provide 

us with an on-site 

demonstration and a survey 

of our infrastructure. This 

provided us with an in-depth 

assessment of our system and 

an innovative approach 

toward much needed 

improvements. It was good to 

be able to see exactly how they 

restore uneven areas, and 

how quickly the repairs are 

made. Even better is the fact 

that the cost savings are 

significant and the company 

uses ‘green’ waste handling 

practices. I believe our 

residents and visitors will be 

happy with the end results 

and can enjoy having a 

smoother walking surface 

when visiting the downtown 

area.” 

According to Scottie 

Persaline Satterwhite, also a Museum Guide at the Granville History 

Museum explained much of the history of Granville County and many 

of the ancestors of Granville County, including the Native Americans 

who resided here first. 

Don’t Cough Up Money For Fake Flu Cures 

Flu season is here, and this 

year we’re facing both the regular 

flu and the HINI flu. Concern 

about HINI has created a high 

demand for flu vaccines and 

legitimate flu treatments. It’s also 

spawned dozens of websites 

pitching bogus products that claim 

to ward off or prevent the flu. The 

US Food and Drug Administration 

recently issued a warning about 

140 fraudulent flue products, such 

as special shampoos, hand sprays 

and electronic devices. 

Scammers often use concerns 

about illnesses and health 

problems to try to make an unfair 

buck off of consumers. You’ve 

probably seen advertisements or 

websites that offer dietary 

supplements, medications, food, or 

equipment which they claim will 

treat or prevent conditions such as 

the H IN I virus, arthritis or 

diabetes. 

The best ways to avoid getting 

the flu are to get a flu shot, wash 

your hands regularly, and stay 

away from people who are sick. 

The only medications approved to 

treat HlN1 are Tamiflu and 

Relenza, and both are available 

only by prescription. You can check 

with the FDA (www.fda.gov and 

the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) for 

more information on the HINI 

virus and approved treatments. 

Before you spend your 

hard-earned money on 

questionable cures for the flu or 

whatever else ails you, consider 

the following tips: 

• Ask for proof. Many health 

products don’t back up their claims 

with factual proof. Remember that 

testimonials about a product may 

be exaggerated or false. 

• Check for warnings or 

recalls. Some supplements and 

herbal products may be dangerous 

and even deadly. Check with the 

FDA for warnings and recalls. 

• Consult your doctor. Some 

supplements can interfere with 

prescription or over- the counter 

medicines you take. Check with 

your doctor or health care 

professional to learn about possible 

drug interactions. 

• Be careful about online 

prescriptions. Only purchase 

prescription drugs from licensed 

pharmacies in the United States 

to ensure that the drugs have been 

tested and approved by the FDA. 

The FDA reports that some 

consumers who tried to order 

Tamiflu online instead wound up 

with pills made of talc and Tylenol. 

• “Natural” doesn’t mean 

safe. Just because a product 

claims to be “natural” doesn’t mean 

it’s safe. Natural products can

Insurance Commissioner 

Wayne Goodwin wants to

Medicare recipients that the 

Medicare Part D annual 

election period started Nov.

“The enrollment period

which plan to choose for the

Commissioner Wayne 

Goodwin. “North Carolinians

treat H1N1? 

Yes. There are drugs your 

doctor may prescribe for 

treating H1N1 called 

“antiviral drugs.” These 

drugs can make you better 

faster and may also prevent 

serious complications. This 

flu season, antiviral drugs are 

being used mainly to treat 

people who are very sick, such 

as people who need to be 

hospitalized, and to treat sick 

people who are more likely to 

get serious flu complications. 

Your health care provider will 

decide whether antiviral 

drugs are needed to treat 

your illness. Remember, most 

people with H1N1 have had

The CDC recommends 

that you stay home for at least 

24 hours after your fever is 

gone except to get medical 

care or for other things you 

have to do and no once else 

can do for you. (Your fever 

should be gone without the 

use of a fever-reducer 

medicine, such as Tylenol.) 

You should stay home from 

work, school, travel, shopping, 

social events, and public 

gatherings. 

What should I do while I’m 

sick? 

Stay away from others as 

much as possible to keep from 

making them sick. If you 

must leave home, for example 

to get medical care, wear a 

face mask if you have one, or 

cover coughs and sneezes with 

a tissue. And wash your 

hands often to keep from 

spreading flu to others.

illness. “It gave me an 

opportunity to work beside 

him.” 

Brenda Timberlake spoke 

of some of their earliest 

programs. “Our challenge was 

marriage. Then we had to 

focus on singles and not push 

them aside.” In the 1980’s 

single adults needed help as 

they underwent separations 

and divorces. 

Young families soon had 

children, so the CFC opened 

a child development center 

and a school that were the 

first of their kind in the area, 

according to Timberlake. 

The child development 

center staff took care of the 

children when their 

traditional caregivers who 

were mothers, aunts and 

grandmothers went to work. 

The school took on the 

children’s education based on 

Christian principles. 

As the population aged, 

the CFC built a home for 

senior citizens. When people 

lost their jobs and were short 

of funds, the church began a 

program to donate food, or 

church members and the 

public could buy food for a 

week at a discount. 

Meeting Family Needs 

Meanwhile, the 

Timberlakes and the church 

were building programs to 

meet the needs of families, 

according to Brenda 

Timberlake. 

At least one program was 

based on the Timberlakes’ 

own marriage, when their 

personal experience fed into 

their teachings on finance. 

The young Timberlakes had 

separate budgets at first. 

“We didn’t sit down and go 

over our budgets together,” 

Brenda Timberlake said. 

Then they made a joint budget 

and taught those in the 

church to do so—and to only 

pay with credit if they could 

pay back the balance the same 

month. 

“That teaching is 

important today,” Brenda 

Timberlake said of teaching 

for debt-free living. “Many 

people have come out of debt. 

A lot of houses are under 

pressure because of debt.” 

She recalled that people 

were “captivated” by that 

teaching, because the 

teaching was based on 

following God in His word in 

the Bible and in His leading 

in the Holy Spirit. Without 

God-based teaching, when the 

CFC builds programs and a 

new building, their work 

would be meaningless, she 

said. 

To make her point, she 

quoted Psalm 127:1: “Except 

the Lord build the house, they 

labor in vain that build it.” 

A New Vision 

The next building is 

planned to be a 205,000 

square-foot building with 

room for unwed mothers, 

recovering addicts, and 

orphans. There will be stores,

With a growing 

community already set up at

Tax & Business 

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY 

Tatum & Edwards, PA 

Certified Public Accountants 

It’s The Season For Giving Gifts 

The tax code allows you to give away up to $13,000 

each year to as many people as you want, without 

triggering gift tax. If you and your spouse ‘split’ your gifts, 

you can double this $13,000 annual gift-tax exclusion and 

give $26,000 per recipient. 

If you’re thinking of sharing your wealth, here are 

some important gift-giving considerations. 

All gifts during the year, including birthday and 

holiday presents, count toward the $13,000 (or $26,000) 

annual gift tax exclusion. For example, say you give a 

$500 birthday present to your grandchild. You may give 

another $12,500 to that grandchild during the year 

without triggering the need for a gift tax return. 

A gift made by check isn’t complete until the recipient 

actually deposits or cashes the check. Plan accordingly 

when making year-end gifts, especially if you want such 

gifts to be counted toward this year’s gift-tax exclusion. 

For a gift to be valid, you must part with ownership. 

Pay special attention to gifts of stock in the family business 

or gifts of your personal residence. 

Carefully consider the type of asset before you give 

it away. Property that has substantially appreciated in 

value may not be a good candidate for giving, especially if 

you are elderly. If you own stock or other property that 

has declined in value since you acquired it, you may be 

better off selling the property and giving away the 

proceeds. Giving away a life insurance policy can be an 

excellent strategy, but it’s subject to some tricky rules.

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer 

Hearing Aid Assistance for Seniors in Need 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

Are there any organizations that you know of that offer 

low-cost hearing aids to seniors on a very tight budget? 

Hard of Hearing 

Dear Hard, 

Unfortunately, there are millions of U.S. seniors with 

hearing loss that go without needed hearing aids because they 

simply can’t afford them. Digital hearing aids are expensive, 

typically costing between $1,000 and $3,000 per ear, and most 

insurance companies including Medicare don’t cover them. 

But there’s good news! Today, there are a number of 

organizations that offer hearing aid assistance programs to 

help those in need. Most programs have income requirements 

that you’ll need to meet to be eligible, and they all require a 

hearing evaluation by an audiologist, which in most cases 

you’ll have to pay for yourself. Here’s where to look for help. 

Lions Affordable Hearing Aid Project 

Provided by the Lions Clubs International Foundation and 

offered through many local Lions clubs throughout the U.S., 

this program provides the opportunity to purchase new, 

behind-the-ear, digital hearing aids manufactured by Rexton, 

for $200 per aid. To be eligible, most clubs will require your 

income to be below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, 

which is less than $21,660 (or $29,140 for a family of two) in 

2009. Contact your local Lions club to see if they participate 

in this project. To reach your local club, visit LionsClubs.org 

or call 800-747-4448 to get the number to your state Lions 

Club office, which can refer you to your community 

representative. 

Help America Hear Program 

Provided by the Foundation for Sight & Sound and the 

EarQ Group, this program provides free, digital hearing aids 

to individuals making less than $25,000 per year. All 

applicants must be referred by an EarQ hearing professional 

(call 866-432-7500 or see EarQ.com to find one) and pay a 

$75 non-refundable application fee. Visit 

FoundationForSightandSound.org or call 631-366-3461 for 

more information. 

HearNow 

A national non-profit program and part of the Starkey 

Hearing Foundation, HearNow provides new digital hearing 

aids to those in need, for practically free. Your only costs are a 

hearing test by an audiologist and an application fee of $100 

($200 if you’re requesting two hearing aids). To be eligible in 

the lower 48 states, your income must be under $18,403 (or 

$24,675 as a couple) with limited assets. To learn more call 

800-328-8602, or visit Sotheworldmayhear.org/hearnow where 

you can download an application. 

Sertoma 

This is a civic service organization that has over 600 clubs 

nationwide, some of which collect used hearing aids, have them 

refurbished, and distribute them to local, low-income seniors 

in need. Call 816-333-8300 or visit Sertoma.org to locate a 

club in your area. Next month, Sertoma is also launching 

Hearing Charities of America (HearingCharities.org), an 

affiliate program that provides hearing aids to those in need 

who don’t live near a participating club. 

Audient Program 

This nonprofit service helps people purchase new, digital 

hearing aids at discounts ranging between 30 and 75 percent. 

To be eligible, your income must be no higher than $27,075, 

or $36,425 for a family of two (the guidelines in Hawaii and 

Alaska are higher). Assets are not considered. Go to 

AudientAlliance.org or call 877-283-4368 for more 

information. 

Travelers Protective Association of America 

They offer a scholarship trust fund to help pay for hearing 

aids to those who need assistance. There are no income or 

asset qualifications. Applications must be received each year 

by March 1. To download an application, visit www.tpahq.org 

or call 314-371-0533. 

Local Organizations 

Depending on where you live, other hearing aid assistance 

programs may be available to you. Check with your Area Aging 

Agency (call 800-677-1116 to get your local number) or your 

state assistive technologies director (see www.ataporg.org for 

contact info.) to find out if there are any city, county or state 

programs or local nonprofits that can help. Also check the 

local chapters of service groups such as Kiwanis, Knights of 

Columbus, Masons, Optimists, Elks, Easter Seals, United Way 

and Quota International. They, too, may offer assistance.

Everyone Wins When You Make Charitable Gifts 

It's Thanksgiving time again. And you may want to show 

your appreciation for what you have by making a gift to a 

charitable organization. If you do, both you and the charitable 

group can come out ahead. 

First, if you itemize your taxes, you can deduct your 

contributions to qualified charitable organizations. 

Second, if you donate appreciated assets, such as stocks, 

you can avoid the capital gains taxes you might have to pay if 

you were to sell those assets. 

Finally, by contributing to a charity, you can remove assets 

from your taxable estate. In 2010, the estate tax is repealed, 

but it will be back in 2011. Estate taxes can be heavy, and to 

pay them, your heirs might have to sell assets. 

During this holiday season, be as generous as possible - 

to charitable groups and to yourself.
