Kerr Lake Academy Opened Its Doors To 343 Students<br />
On August 26th,<br />
Granville County’s first<br />
graded charter school<br />
opened its doors to 343<br />
students from Granville<br />
and surrounding<br />
counties. Anticipation<br />
was in the air, and the<br />
buzz of excited students<br />
and parents was thick<br />
and heavy as more than<br />
twenty parent volunteers<br />
took their places<br />
alongside the 30 full-time<br />
and three part-time staff<br />
members to meet and<br />
greet the new Firebird<br />
family members as they<br />
poured in from where<br />
East Lyon Station Road<br />
and Green Road come<br />
together.<br />
<strong>This</strong> event was long in<br />
coming. Board of<br />
Directors members Andy<br />
Peterson, Tracy Teal,<br />
Larry Vaught, Tim<br />
Slaughter, Bridget<br />
Tanner, and Mandy<br />
Johnson worked toward<br />
this moment for nearly<br />
three years. They spent<br />
countless hundreds of<br />
man-hours in planning,<br />
o r g a n i z i n g ,<br />
communicating, and<br />
wading through endless<br />
mountains of paperwork<br />
to get the school designed,<br />
organized, approved, and<br />
opened. Board member<br />
Katrina Cooke joined the<br />
campaign later, but she<br />
has logged more than a<br />
hundred hours herself<br />
since coming on board in<br />
July.<br />
“<strong>This</strong> is so worth it,”<br />
Cooke said as she stood<br />
with the rest of the Board<br />
members on Opening<br />
Day. “I love seeing the<br />
kids smile and wave as<br />
they come in.”<br />
Opening Day was a<br />
joint effort, involving<br />
teachers, parents,<br />
students, Board<br />
members, and even<br />
unconnected volunteers<br />
Mayor Nancy Alford, Stem Town Commissioners and members of the Stem Planning Board<br />
held a Ribbon Cutting at Dollar General on <strong>Saturday</strong>, September 14. Mayor Alford said,<br />
“Dollar General expected to be open for business Monday, September 16.” Shown are<br />
Kevin Easter, Lynn Carden, Lonnie Cole, Sr., Kenneth McLamb, Mayor Nancy Alford, Renee<br />
Green, Marshall Blalock, Nancy Compton and John Moxley.<br />
who were just excited<br />
about the school and<br />
wanted to help.<br />
One of the biggest<br />
events prior to opening<br />
was the Friday morning<br />
when Board members<br />
sent out a call on<br />
Facebook and the school’s<br />
website begging for<br />
volunteers to come and<br />
help unload, clean, and<br />
“load-in” more than a<br />
tractor-trailer load of<br />
used furniture procured<br />
from another charter<br />
school who got all new<br />
stuff. They expected a<br />
dozen, maybe. They were<br />
taken by surprise on<br />
moving day when several<br />
hundred parents and<br />
students showed up, so<br />
many that the whole<br />
process was done by early<br />
afternoon. The<br />
atmosphere was happy<br />
and joyful as parents and<br />
kids joined together,<br />
working towards getting<br />
this new school together.<br />
Speaking of the<br />
Board, “<strong>This</strong> is the<br />
hardest-working bunch of<br />
parents I’ve ever seen,”<br />
said Principal Eddy<br />
Daniel, who was lured out<br />
of retirement by the<br />
Board to design and start<br />
the school from scratch.<br />
He spent six months<br />
setting up the school’s<br />
operations, hiring the<br />
staff, and preparing for<br />
school to start. Now that<br />
the big day was here, he<br />

Gerard “Jerry” Seibert was named the first zoning<br />
administrator for the Town of Stem at their regular board<br />
meeting held Monday night, September 16. The effective<br />
starting date for the position will be October 1, 2013.

On <strong>Saturday</strong>, September<br />
21st, Southern States<br />

90 years of service to<br />

who met in<br />
Richmond, Va. to develop<br />
a reliable supply of clover<br />
and grain seeds better<br />
suited to the soils found in<br />
Virginia. The service<br />
changed its name to<br />
Southern States<br />
Cooperative ten years<br />
later and grew into to a<br />
multi-state agriculture<br />
supply cooperative with<br />
well over 200 thousand<br />
members in 11 core states.<br />
Southern States now<br />
serves co-op members and<br />
retail customers through<br />
more than 200 company<br />
owned retail stores,<br />
managed cooperatives,<br />
and agronomy facilities.<br />
In addition, a private<br />
dealer network of nearly<br />
300 locations distributes<br />
Southern States products<br />
throughout the southeast.<br />

stood watching with<br />
satisfaction as the<br />
students came in, most of<br />
them accompanied by<br />
their parents. A number<br />
of the parents greeted him<br />
personally, remembering<br />
him from their own high<br />
school days as South<br />
Granville High School’s<br />
band director from 1979<br />
until 1990.<br />
“I couldn’t resist,” said<br />
Daniel, “When southern<br />
Granville County called,<br />
I came a-runnin’. I<br />
couldn’t say no; the<br />
eleven years I spent here<br />
were some of the best,<br />
highest points of my<br />
career. I’m just glad I<br />
could come back and help<br />
all this come together.”<br />
It almost didn’t come<br />
together on time. The<br />
school is housed in a<br />
modular campus made<br />
up of one ten-classroom<br />
modular building, seven<br />
individual classroom<br />
trailers, and one small<br />
office trailer, all<br />
connected by aluminum<br />
decking. For this first<br />
year, Falls Lake Academy<br />
will hold all its classes,<br />
events, and activities in<br />
this tiny space while<br />
waiting for their<br />
permanent structure to<br />
be built right behind the<br />
current modular campus<br />
location.<br />
Next summer, the<br />
staff and parents will<br />
move everything again,<br />
from the current modular<br />
buildings to the<br />
permanent structure, a<br />
modern state-of-the-art<br />
facility designed to<br />
support the innovative<br />
and creative ways that<br />
Falls Lake Academy<br />
teaches its kids to learn<br />
and thrive. Once the<br />
modular campus is gone,<br />
the place where it now<br />
sits will become the<br />
school’s new softball field.<br />
In the meantime, the<br />
county inspections were<br />
held up during the two<br />
weeks leading up to<br />
Opening Day, forcing the<br />
school to hold its<br />
Enrollment Intake<br />
session at a nearby<br />
church at the last minute.<br />
The Board and staff<br />
waited anxiously right up<br />
to the last Friday before<br />
school opened on Monday<br />
for the Certificate of<br />
Occupancy. When it<br />
finally arrived on Friday<br />
afternoon August 23rd,<br />
literally hundreds of staff<br />
members, Board<br />
members, and parents<br />
once again pulled<br />
together to get the school<br />
ready to open the<br />
following Monday.<br />
“By the time Monday<br />
morning rolled around,”<br />
said Daniel, “I was<br />
exhausted. I’m sure the<br />
staff was, too. But you<br />
know what? You couldn’t<br />
tell by looking at them.<br />
I’ve never seen a happier,<br />
more excited group of<br />
teachers, even though<br />
many of them, like me,<br />
were dead on their feet<br />
when they charged into<br />
the first day of teaching.<br />
It was truly amazing.”<br />
Falls Lake Academy is<br />
a Project-Based Learning<br />
school. Students in every<br />
grade level are being<br />
taught how to organize<br />
and take charge of their<br />
own learning, working in<br />
groups and individually,<br />
doing research and<br />
practicing the isolation<br />
and solving of complex<br />
problems. Along the way,<br />
they identify examples of<br />
their own best work and<br />
save them in Showcase<br />
Portfolios, which they will<br />
present to their parents<br />
and other adult audiences<br />
at or about the same time<br />
they present their PBL<br />
projects.<br />
The whole system is<br />
very student-centered<br />
and results-oriented.<br />
“<strong>This</strong> is different from the<br />
The Butner-<strong>Creedmoor</strong> News, Thursday, September 19, 2013 5a<br />
way kids generally do<br />
school,” Daniel said.<br />
“We’re committed to<br />
bringing the absolute best<br />
teaching and learning<br />
practices, backed up by<br />
research proving their<br />
success, to every<br />
classroom. We’re aiming<br />
at the very best for every<br />
kid, nothing less. We take<br />
no prisoners around<br />
here.”<br />
“I just love this,”<br />
Katrina Cooke said when<br />
asked what it was like to<br />
join the effort so close to<br />
Opening Day. “I love<br />
being on the Board. I love<br />
working with these<br />
people, and I love walking<br />
down the hall and<br />
watching a bunch of<br />
teachers, every one of<br />
whom are excited to come<br />
to work, teaching with<br />
such high levels of<br />
enthusiasm.”<br />
She’s not alone. So far,<br />
the students and parents<br />
all seem to agree that this<br />
experiment in charter<br />
school education is a<br />
resounding success.<br />
The students and faculty gathered around the modular units at Falls Lake Academy on the<br />
first day of school.<br />
American Hero held their 13th Anniversary celebration on September 7th. Moimen, George,<br />
Adam and Fibi thank all of their customers for their support over the years and look<br />
forward to meeting and serving new customers in the upcoming years.<br />
Special Events Day At NC State Fair<br />
<strong>This</strong> year, the N.C.<br />
State Fair will offer a<br />
number of special-event<br />
days geared toward the<br />
military, senior citizens<br />
and kids.<br />
Visitors participating<br />
in the Food Lion Hunger<br />
Relief Day will need to<br />
bring five cans of food<br />
instead of four in order<br />
to receive their free<br />
admission ticket. <strong>This</strong><br />
change marks the first<br />
increase in the number of<br />
cans required since the<br />
program began. Special<br />
days include:<br />
• The fair will open on<br />
Thursday, Oct. 17, at 3<br />
p.m. for Preview Day.<br />
Fairgoers can purchase<br />
unlimited-ride<br />
wristbands for $28, which<br />
are good from 3:30 until<br />
midnight on Preview Day<br />
only. Attendees will also<br />
receive discounted<br />
admission tickets at the<br />
gate for $7 for adults and<br />
$3 for children ages 6-12.<br />
Wristbands cannot be<br />
purchased in advance,<br />
but will be available at<br />
ticket booths on the<br />
fairgrounds. Youth and<br />
school groups can enjoy<br />
special educational<br />
opportunities on Monday,<br />
October 21, during Youth<br />
Celebration Day. Groups<br />
of 40 or more are eligible<br />
for special admission<br />
packages, available for<br />
online purchase in<br />
advance before Oct. 17.<br />
With fewer crowds,<br />
groups will have an easier<br />
time taking advantage of<br />
educational materials for<br />
the fair, available at<br />
www.ncstatefair.org/<br />
2013/General/<br />
Educational.htm.<br />
• Although senior<br />
citizens receive free<br />
admission every day of<br />
the fair, there will be<br />
special events for them on<br />
Senior Citizens Day,<br />
Tuesday, Oct. 22. Seniors<br />
will enjoy a free breakfast<br />
and entertainment in<br />
Dorton Arena from 9 to 11<br />
a.m. Parking will be<br />
available in Carter-Finley<br />
Stadium at Gate A, and<br />
trams will transport<br />
attendees from their cars<br />
to Dorton. There is no<br />
special ticket needed for<br />
Senior Citizens Day<br />
events.<br />
• On Wednesday, Oct.<br />
23, the N.C. State Fair<br />
will honor U.S. service<br />
personnel during<br />
Military Appreciation<br />
Day. Although military<br />
adults receive a<br />
discounted admission<br />
price of $5 every day at<br />
the fair, Military<br />
Appreciation Day will<br />
feature special<br />
performances by the<br />
440th Army Band. The<br />
band is part of the<br />
National Guard and will<br />
perform at 1,3 and 5 p.m.<br />
on the Waterfall Stage,<br />
sponsored by Kitchen<br />
Craft.<br />
• The Food Lion<br />
Hunger Relief Day on<br />
Thursday, Oct. 24, will<br />
benefit the Food Bank of<br />
Central and Eastern<br />
North Carolina, which<br />
serves 34 counties<br />
surrounding Raleigh.<br />
<strong>This</strong> years change<br />
requiring five cans<br />
instead of four in<br />
exchange for a free<br />
admission ticket will<br />
make a noticeable<br />
difference to hungry<br />
people in the area.<br />
The need for more<br />
canned goods at the Food<br />
Bank has prompted us to<br />
increase the number of<br />
cans needed to get in free<br />
to five cans, said Fair<br />
Manager Wesley Wyatt.<br />
An extra can from each<br />
fairgoer will mean<br />
thousands of meals<br />
provided to needy<br />
families throughout<br />
North Carolina.<br />
Since the hunger<br />
relief day began 18 years<br />
New Arrival<br />
ago, more than 2 million<br />
pounds of food have been<br />
donated by fairgoers.<br />
The N.C. State Fair<br />
will run October 17-27 at<br />
the State Fairgrounds.<br />
Discount admission and<br />
ride tickets are available<br />

The reduction of waste is the first step in taking care of our environment.<br />
There are many ways to reduce waste:<br />
• Print on both sides of paper whenever possible.<br />
• Use reusable plates, coffee mugs, and cloth napkins.<br />
• Shop Smart: Buy only amounts that you need, buy in bulk to reduce packaging waste.<br />
• When shopping, take a reusable shopping bag to carry small purchases, instead of getting a bag in ev ery store.<br />
• Eliminate junk mail.<br />
• Reduce the use of Household Hazardous Wastes, which include cleaning chemicals, pesticides, herbici des, etc.

What is a Pawn?<br />
A pawn is a cash loan. It’s simple:<br />
Bring us any item of value. We loan you cash.<br />
Pay us back plus a small fee. Pick up your goods.<br />
We will also buy your items outright if you no longer want or need them. However, if<br />
you want the option of keeping your items, then a pawn is the answer. Our pawn shops<br />
are simply the best source for fast cash loans. We pay more than the competition, and<br />
we treat you with respect and care.<br />
Still have questions? Then find out more about pawn terms, what we take, privacy<br />
concerns, or anything else on our Frequently Asked Questions page.<br />

Sign Up For Girl Scouts<br />
Granville County Girl Scouts is gearing up for<br />
another year!<br />
In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and<br />
power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching<br />
experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports<br />
skill-building clinics, community service projects,<br />
cultural exchanges, and environmental steward-ships,<br />
girls grow courageous and strong.<br />
Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual<br />
potential; relate to others with increasing understanding,<br />
skill, and respect; develop values to guide their<br />
actions and provide the foundation for sound decisionmaking;<br />
and contribute to the improvement of society<br />
through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation<br />
with others.<br />
If you have a girl ages Kindergarten through 12th<br />
grade who is interested in being a part of a Girl Scout<br />
Troop, contact Rhonda Schwarze at rjl21570@ nc.rr.com,<br />
or 919-218-3128.<br />
They are also looking for adult troop leaders<br />
interested in guiding girls through their year of selfdiscovery.<br />
Find out how Girl Scouting builds girls of courage,<br />
confidence, and character, who make the world a better<br />
place.<br />

Girl Scout Troop 311<br />
to Fundraise for Memorial at<br />
Lake Rogers Park<br />
Girl Scout Troop 311 is working hard to achieve their<br />
Bronze and Silver Awards (the second and third highest<br />
honors in the Girl Scouting community). In order to earn<br />
each of these awards, the Troop must find new ways to<br />
give back to their community. Knowing they wanted to<br />
do something in honor of service men and women, the<br />
girls decided on a brick memorial at Lake Rogers Park.<br />
The memorial will consist of a flagpole in the middle<br />
of a 6’ x 6’ brick foundation, with each brick “In Honor<br />
Of” or “In Memory Of” service men and women. The bricks<br />
will be sold for $50.00 each, which will not only pay for<br />
the name of the service man or woman to be placed on<br />
the brick, but also an emblem featuring the branch of<br />
the military, fire department, or police department in<br />
which they served, or if they were a POW or are MIA.<br />
The Troop will be fundraising and raising awareness<br />
for this project this <strong>Saturday</strong>, September 21st, at the<br />
<strong>Creedmoor</strong> <strong>Music</strong> <strong>Festival</strong>. After the <strong>Music</strong> <strong>Festival</strong>,<br />
bricks will be available to purchase through a website<br />
that will be linked on the City’s website at www.cityof<br />
creedmoor.org. For more information, please call Rhonda<br />

Hens & Chicks Sewing<br />
School To Hold Open House<br />
Carol Montague believes children should have an<br />
opportunity to learn a skill that “has been dismissed as<br />
non-essential in today’s fast-paced society.”<br />
As a result, she teaches sewing of clothes and crafts<br />
at Hen & Chicks Sewing School in her Oxford home,<br />
located off Tar River Road.<br />
An open house and registration for the coming school<br />
year will be held <strong>Saturday</strong>, September 28th from 10 to<br />
12 a.m. at her home. Children, ages 8 and above, are<br />
welcome to register although the school is open to adults<br />
as well. You will be able to view curriculum, samples<br />
and meet the instructor.<br />
Classes will run the first week of October and finish<br />
the end of May and meet either Tuesdays or Thursdays,<br />
4:15 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. each week. Cost is $60 per month<br />
with a once-a-year $50 registration fee which includes<br />
instruction book. Parents supply materials and notions.<br />
The school supplies sewing machines, tools, and<br />
personalized instruction.<br />
Some activities Montague has in mind during the<br />
sewing year might include an end of the year fashion<br />
show, donations of student handmade items to local<br />
charities, and a field trip.<br />
Montague has taught sewing for the last 10 years in<br />
her Washington State home. She hosted several sewing<br />
camps here this past June. She began sewing at the age<br />
of 12 on her grandmother’s treadle sewing machine.<br />
For more information about the open house, classes,<br />
and how to register, call Mrs. Montague at 919-603-1921<br />
or 360-254-6152.<br />

BOLD AND<br />
BEAUTIFUL<br />
As soon as Liam got<br />
news from overseas that<br />
his marriage to Steffy is<br />
truly over, he made plans<br />
for his and Hope's future<br />
together. Despite Liam's<br />
displeasure about her<br />
business trip to Mexico<br />
with Wyatt, Hope<br />
embarked on the<br />
international adventure<br />
and made it clear to<br />
Wyatt why she picked his<br />
company's jewelry line<br />
for Forrester. Brooke's<br />
attempts to make peace<br />
with Katie were derailed<br />
when Katie asked about<br />

immediate attraction.<br />
Sara was unaware that<br />
Jack's big client is a<br />
shady entrepreneur,<br />
Thatcher, and that Jack<br />
is married to Thatcher's<br />
daughter. When<br />
Thatcher's brother-inlaw<br />
was murdered, the<br />
evidence pointed to TJ,<br />
Thatcher's mentally<br />
challenged son. Sara was<br />
horrified when she found<br />
out that her prosecutor<br />
husband, Drew, and her<br />
clandestine lover, Jack,<br />
would be on opposite<br />
sides of a murder<br />
investigation.<br />
DAYS OF OUR<br />

Holding Jennifer at<br />
fault for her life being in<br />
ruins and faced with the<br />
prospect of jail, Theresa<br />
vowed revenge against<br />
Jen, with Anne a willing<br />
accomplice. As Brady<br />
and Kristen began their<br />
Pre-Cana marriage<br />
conferences with Eric, he<br />
began to have memory<br />
flashes. Although happy<br />
with Chad, Abigail had<br />
conflicting feelings when<br />
she saw Cameron with<br />
Gabi. Meanwhile, EJ<br />
accidentally learned<br />
Chad's secret and used it<br />
to get what he wants.<br />
Will lashed out at Sonny<br />
for playing matchmaker<br />
for Gabi, and keeping<br />
secrets from him. Nicole<br />
got a tempting job offer.<br />
GENERAL<br />
HOSPITAL<br />
Sabrina's ex, Carlos,<br />
openly admitted to<br />
Patrick that he wants his<br />
girlfriend back, accusing<br />
Patrick of not being over<br />
his dead wife since he<br />
still wears his ring. As<br />
Luke's condition<br />
deteriorated he was<br />
surprised by a demon<br />
from his past. Uneasy at<br />
witnessing Alexis and<br />
Derek flirting, Shawn<br />
told her that he knows<br />
the name of the rival<br />
organization's head.<br />
Learning about Silas'<br />
childhood, Sam<br />
wondered about his past<br />
with Ava. Nikolas got<br />
closer to Britt after she<br />
and Ben moved into<br />
Wyndemere. Maxie<br />
found it rough going to be<br />
at Connie's christening.<br />
LUCKY 7<br />
On the series<br />
premiere, seven coworkers<br />
at a gas station<br />
and mini mart found the<br />
problems and<br />

NASHVILLE<br />
On the season<br />

learn how long he'd be<br />
sentenced to jail. Trying<br />
to deal with the fact that<br />
Deacon is her father,<br />
Maddie confided in<br />
Juliette, revealing the<br />
events that led to the<br />
crash. Shell-shocked by<br />
the news of Peggy's<br />
pregnancy and kneedeep<br />
in his own political<br />
troubles, Teddy tried to<br />
decide whether he<br />
belongs with his wife and<br />
family, or his girlfriend.<br />
With Gunnar and<br />
Scarlett's relationship<br />
made even more<br />
complicated by the<br />

death to the Hamptons,<br />
and Emily, Daniel,<br />
Nolan, Charlotte,<br />
Victoria, Conrad and<br />
Jack have all paid a<br />

complications to the<br />
powerful Grayson clan,<br />
that came to light at an<br />

Your Week Ahead Horoscope<br />
Sept. 20, 2013 - Sept. 26, 2013<br />
by Lasha Seniuk<br />
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.<br />
19): Keep your schedule<br />
light. Save the heavy<br />
lifting for later in the<br />
week, as today should be<br />
devoted to carefree<br />
activities. Taking a day<br />
to recharge your<br />
batteries will leave you<br />
with plenty of energy<br />
when you need it.<br />
TAURUS (Apr. 20-<br />
May 20): Focus on<br />
where you are rather<br />
than where you want to<br />
be. Events may not<br />
unfold according to plan,<br />
but there's no reason<br />
you can't make the best<br />
of it. Prepare to meet<br />
unique people and greet<br />
unexpected visitors.<br />
GEMINI (May 21-<br />
June 20): There's only<br />
so much of you to go<br />
around. Making new<br />
friends may cause old<br />
friends or loved ones to<br />
feel neglected. While<br />
this is, indeed, more<br />
their problem than<br />
yours, at least make an<br />
effort to be considerate.<br />
CANCER (June 21-<br />
July 22): A happy home<br />
makes a happy heart.<br />
Do something to spruce<br />
up the house that will<br />
make you proud to cross<br />
the doorstep. Speak<br />
frankly with loved ones<br />
and make sure there<br />
aren't any issues that<br />
need to be addressed.<br />
LEO (July 23-Aug.<br />
22): Only in fairy tales<br />
does everyone live<br />
happily ever after. Don't<br />
take foolish risks and<br />
expect everything to<br />
turn out for the best. Let<br />
common sense be your<br />
guide and reap the<br />
greatest rewards by<br />
playing it safe.<br />
VIRGO (Aug. 23-<br />
Sept. 22): Don't take<br />
sides. Stay out of other<br />
people's arguments and<br />
disagreements and let<br />
them hash things out on<br />
their own. Showing<br />
favoritism may put you<br />
on the spot over a<br />
matter that isn't really<br />
any of your concern.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.<br />
22.): Don't pull your<br />
punches. When asked<br />
for your opinion, don't<br />
hesitate to say what you<br />
really feel. While not<br />
everyone may agree with<br />
you, they will admire<br />
your honesty and<br />
conviction.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-<br />
Nov. 21): You can't have<br />
your cake and eat it, too.<br />
Compromise is the<br />
keyword for today. In<br />
order to get what you<br />
want you may have to<br />
give something up.<br />
Something labeled as<br />
"new" doesn't necessarily<br />
mean "better."<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.<br />
22-Dec. 21): Give what<br />
you can. While you may<br />
not be rolling in clover<br />
yourself, there's no harm<br />
in providing a handout to<br />
a friend in need. You may<br />
find that your perception<br />
of what you find<br />
attractive is changing.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec.<br />
22-Jan. 19): Don't put all<br />
your eggs in one basket.<br />
Having too much faith<br />
that one opportunity will<br />
be the answer to all your<br />
troubles will only lead to<br />
a fall. Spend your hardearned<br />
money only on<br />
essentials.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-<br />
Feb. 18): Exercise keeps<br />
body and soul together.<br />
Take a trip to the gym to<br />
tone up those muscles, or<br />
stretch your mind with a<br />
perplexing puzzle. Use<br />
your best judgment and<br />
taste when selecting new<br />
possessions.<br />
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar.<br />
20): Little things mean a<br />
lot. The smallest gesture<br />
can go a long way toward<br />
brightening a friend or<br />
loved ones' day. On the<br />
flip side, you don't need<br />
to spend a mint to make<br />
someone happy.<br />

Each year, too many<br />
children die on North<br />
Carolina highways,<br />
because they were not<br />
buckled properly or<br />
buckled in at all. To help<br />
save young lives, the<br />
Governor’s Highway<br />
Safety Program, in<br />
partnership with the<br />
N.C. Department of<br />
Transportation and the<br />
N.C. Department of<br />
Insurance, kicked off<br />
Child Passenger Safety<br />
Week today in Asheville.<br />
The goal of the campaign<br />
is to raise awareness<br />
about how to use child<br />
restraints in vehicles the<br />
right way.<br />
“We care about the<br />
safety of all those who<br />
travel along North<br />
Carolina roadways,” said<br />
NCDOT Secretary Tony<br />
Tata. “The safety of our<br />
children, though, is a top<br />
priority. Buckling them<br />
in properly only takes a<br />
few moments and makes<br />
a lasting difference<br />
during a crash.”<br />
In 2012, 60 children<br />
in North Carolina were<br />
killed and 107 seriously<br />
injured in car crashes.<br />
Sixty-two percent of<br />
those who died and 46<br />
percent of those seriously<br />
injured were not buckled<br />
in either a car seat or a<br />
seat belt.<br />
“Buckling up saves<br />
lives. As parents and<br />
caregivers, we have the<br />
responsibility to make<br />
sure that our children<br />
are properly restrained<br />
every time they ride in a<br />
car,” said Insurance<br />
Commissioner Wayne<br />
Goodwin, chair of Safe<br />
Kids North Carolina.<br />
“<strong>This</strong> week is meant to<br />
highlight the importance<br />
of everyone buckling up<br />
- especially our youngest<br />
passengers.”<br />
To share that<br />
message, the Governor’s<br />
Highway Safety Program<br />
produced a new<br />
public service announcement,<br />
which is airing<br />
statewide on digital and<br />
television media during<br />
the campaign. The PSA<br />
highlights www. Buckle<br />
upNC.org, a helpful<br />
resource where adults<br />
can easily read the laws<br />
regarding child restraints<br />
in vehicles, get tips on<br />
how to pick the right car<br />
seat and find the<br />
permanent car seat<br />
checking station in their<br />
area.<br />
Permanent checking<br />
stations are available in<br />
62 counties across North<br />
Carolina at more than<br />
180 locations. Each<br />
station has trained<br />
technicians who can<br />
teach parents and<br />
caregivers how to<br />
properly install and use<br />
child restraints in<br />
vehicles.<br />
To further address the<br />
issue of child fatalities<br />
and injuries in car<br />
crashes, North Carolina<br />
launched a child<br />
passenger safety diversion<br />
program in 2010.<br />
It is currently operating<br />
or being implemented in<br />
38 counties across the<br />
state.<br />
Drivers who are cited<br />
by law enforcement<br />
officers for child restraint<br />
violations have the<br />
opportunity to get their<br />
citations dismissed if they<br />
visit a certified safety seat<br />
checking station in their<br />
county. After learning<br />
how to properly secure<br />
their child and install an<br />
appropriate car seat in<br />
their vehicle, they will be<br />
issued a certificate to<br />
bring to court to get their<br />
ticket dismissed.<br />
The diversion program<br />
and checking<br />
stations represent a<br />
partnership between fire<br />
departments, law enforcement,<br />
district<br />
attorneys and safety<br />
experts help to prevent<br />
motor vehicle injuries<br />
among children.<br />

Safety Week, visit the<br />

The campaign started<br />
yesterday and concludes<br />
with Seat Check<br />

Letter To Editor<br />
“RENDER UNTO CAESAR”<br />
To The Editor:<br />
In reference to Mr. Bowman’s letter to the editor<br />
in The Butner-<strong>Creedmoor</strong> News on September 12,<br />
grumbling about New Jersey Governor Christie’s<br />
signing a bill banning gay conversion therapy, may I<br />
suggest Mr. Bowman also complain about laws that<br />
ban slavery as Bible clearly allows.<br />
On the top of my head, see Leviticus 25: 44-46<br />
NLT, Exodus 21: 2-11 NLT, Exodus 21:20-21 NAB,<br />
Ephesians 6:5 NLT, 1 Timothy 6: 1-2 NLT, and Luke<br />
12: 47-48 NLT.<br />
Maybe we should all “Render therefore unto<br />
Caesar,” (Matthew 22: 20-22 KJV).<br />

A Long Way To Charlotte<br />
I n the town of<br />
Albemarle, busy<br />
restaurants and shopping<br />
strips line NC 24 as<br />
tractor-trailers bustle up<br />
and down the highway<br />
leading to Charlotte.<br />
Thirty miles to the<br />
south, in Wadesboro, it's<br />
a different story. The<br />
Anson County town looks<br />
a lot like it did a few<br />
decades ago. The big<br />
textile mills that operated<br />
for years have closed, and<br />
Anson is one of 18 North<br />
Carolina counties whose<br />
un-employment rate<br />
exceeds 11 percent.<br />
There is another<br />
difference between<br />
Albemarle and Wadesboro.<br />
NC 24 is a modern,<br />
four-lane highway for its<br />
entire stretch from<br />
Albemarle to the<br />
Interstate-485 loop<br />
around Charlotte. The<br />
corresponding highway<br />
from Wadesboro to<br />
Charlotte, US 74, is not.<br />
On many days, it is<br />
congested, sluggish mess.<br />
State Rep. Bill<br />
Brawley, a Mecklenburg<br />
County Republican,<br />
pointed out the disparity<br />
at a recent meeting of a<br />
legislative oversight<br />
committee.<br />
"Timewise,<br />
they<br />
(Wadesboro<br />
residents)<br />
a r e<br />
farther<br />
from<br />
Charotte<br />
than<br />
Hickory,"<br />
Brawley said.<br />
Brawley and his<br />
legislative colleagues<br />
hope that a new roadbuilding<br />
formula sought<br />
by Gov. Pat McCrory<br />
and approved by the<br />
legislature earlier this<br />
year will help the<br />
dozens of Wadesboros<br />
around the state, whose<br />
economies could benefit<br />
from modern transportation<br />
corridors<br />
leading to transportation<br />
hubs and job<br />
centers like Charlotte.<br />
Brawley says it is<br />
about more than<br />
allowing commuters<br />
access to employers in<br />
big cities. It is also about<br />
encouraging manufacturing,<br />
which requires<br />
access to airports<br />
and ports, in those<br />
outlying communities,<br />
A V IEW<br />
F ROM<br />
R ALEIGH<br />
T HE R ALEIGH R EPORT<br />
he says.<br />
It's not<br />
yet clear<br />
that will<br />
happen,<br />
though.<br />
The<br />
formula<br />
puts more<br />
emphasis<br />
By Scott on projects<br />
of<br />
Mooneyham<br />
statewide<br />
importance,<br />
but the scoring criteria<br />
that will determine what<br />
roads will be built is still<br />
being developed and will<br />
only be put to the test over<br />
time.<br />
Brawley and some of<br />
his colleagues worry that<br />
emphasis on "accessibility<br />
and connectivity," as<br />
called for in the plan,<br />
might get pushed aside in<br />
favor of other aspects of<br />
the criteria.<br />
Even if they don't,<br />
there are no guarantees<br />
that every Wadesboro will<br />
become Albemarle.<br />
Every community has<br />
its own, unique<br />
impediments to economic<br />
development. And not<br />
every town wants onesize-fits-all<br />
development<br />
associated with either<br />
being a bedroom community<br />
for a larger city or<br />
even being a home to<br />
small manufacturing.<br />
Regarding Wadesboro,<br />
existing plans to<br />
improve US 74 with a<br />
bypass around Monroe<br />
have been caught up in<br />
fights over tolling the<br />
road and in a lawsuit<br />
challenging the project<br />
due to environmental<br />
concerns.<br />
Arguments can and<br />
have been made that<br />
building roads that<br />
encourage sprawl, without<br />
any overall economic<br />
benefit, is not a wise<br />
expenditure of money.<br />
Still, effective and<br />
efficient transportation<br />
corridors -- whether they<br />
were rivers, plank roads<br />
or railroads -- have<br />
always encouraged<br />
economic growth.<br />
North Carolina's<br />
bigger cities, as job and<br />
economic centers, need<br />
good roads, but so do the<br />
Wadesboros of the state.<br />
Balancing those<br />
needs and spending road<br />
dollars effectively has<br />
never been easy.<br />
But a lot of people in<br />
a lot of places are<br />
depending on the<br />
changes in the<br />
distribution formula<br />
making it a little easier.<br />
The Raleigh Report<br />
Allan Gurganus is<br />
back—with a bang<br />
Say Allan Gurganus’s<br />
name in a group of<br />
readers, and several may<br />
tell you that the Rocky<br />
Mount native's "Oldest<br />
Living Confederate<br />
Widow Tells All" is their<br />
favorite novel of all time.<br />
"Widow" came out in<br />
1989, followed in 1990 by<br />
"Plays Well with Others."<br />
Then there were a couple<br />
of short story collection,<br />
including "White People,"<br />
but no other new books<br />
from Gurganus in many<br />
years.<br />
So, what has he been<br />
doing? "Writing, every<br />
day," he says, "and getting<br />
up at 6 a.m. to do it."<br />
Finally, next week we<br />
can buy and read a new<br />
Gurganus book, one that<br />
takes us back to the<br />
fictional eastern North<br />
Carolina town of Falls,<br />
where "Widow" and many<br />
of his short stories have<br />
been set.<br />
"Local Souls" is not a<br />
novel, but three separate<br />
novellas. All are set in<br />
Falls, but the characters<br />
and stories are<br />
independent and quite<br />
different.<br />
Susan, the main<br />
character in the first<br />
novella, "Fear Not," is a<br />
14-year-old all-American<br />
girl growing up in Falls<br />
when her father dies in a<br />
boating accident. Seduced<br />
and made<br />
pregnant<br />
by her<br />
godfather,<br />
she gives<br />
up her<br />
b a b y ,<br />
pulls her<br />
l i f e<br />
together,<br />
l a t e r<br />
marries,<br />
has two<br />
children,<br />
and leads a normal life<br />
until she is reunited<br />
with the child she gave<br />
up. Then her life is<br />
transformed in a<br />
surprising and puzzling<br />
way, one that only<br />
Gurganus could conjure<br />
up.<br />
In the second<br />
novella, "Saints Have<br />
Mothers," a divorced<br />
woman, smart and<br />
ambitious enough to<br />
have published a poem<br />
in The Atlantic<br />
magazine, has two boys<br />
and a 17-year-old girl.<br />
The daughter is more<br />
committed to serving<br />
those in need than she<br />
is to her mother. But her<br />
mother's life is wrapped<br />
up in hopes for her<br />
daughter’s future.<br />
When the daughter<br />
announces that she<br />
plans to go to Africa on<br />
a service project, the<br />
mother objects. But the<br />
daughter goes anyway.<br />
Communication with<br />
her daughter<br />
is spotty<br />
until a<br />
middle of the<br />
night phone<br />
call brings<br />
word of the<br />
By daughter's<br />
D.G. death. As<br />
Martin the mother<br />
and the<br />
F a l l s<br />
community<br />
prepare for a<br />
memorial service,<br />
Gurganus brings the<br />
story to a shocking and<br />
touching conclusion.<br />
The third novella,<br />
"Decoy," is the history of<br />
a relationship between<br />
two men. One is a beloved<br />
family doctor, part of an<br />
established Falls family.<br />
The other is a newcomer,<br />
who came from the<br />
poverty of struggling farm<br />
life, but has achieved<br />
modest financial success<br />
and near acceptance by<br />
Falls's elite. When the<br />
doctor retires, their<br />
friendship is disturbed<br />
and then swept away by<br />
a "Fran-like" flood that<br />
destroys both men’s<br />
homes and much of Falls.<br />
With these three<br />
stories, Gurganus demonstrates<br />
that he has not<br />
lost the story-telling<br />
power that propelled him<br />
to fame.<br />
And he leaves us<br />
hoping that we will not<br />
have to wait so long for his<br />
next offering.<br />
Others agree. John<br />
Irving, author of "The<br />
World According to<br />
Garp," writes, "Gurganus's<br />
storytelling is<br />
flawless. His narration<br />
becomes a Greek chorus,<br />
Sophocles in North<br />
Carolina. Gurganus<br />
makes the preternatural<br />
feel natural. Sexual<br />
taboos, a parent’s worst<br />
fears: these emerge in<br />
tones comic and<br />
horrifying. Each novella<br />
delivers an ending of<br />
true force."<br />
Ann Patchett, author<br />
of "Bel Canto" and a<br />
former student of<br />
Gurganus, says he<br />
"breathes so much life<br />
into the town of Falls,<br />
North Carolina, his<br />
reader is able to walk<br />
down the streets and<br />
mingle with the local<br />
souls. <strong>This</strong> book<br />
underscores what we<br />
have long known—<br />
Gurganus stands among<br />
the best writers of our<br />
time."<br />
More important than<br />
this praise, Gurganus’s<br />
fiction gives us a true<br />
look at our fellow North<br />
Carolinians in a<br />
struggling region as they<br />
cope with the challenges<br />
of contemporary times.

HOW IS<br />
THE JOB<br />
MARKET<br />
LIKE<br />
WEIGHTLIFTING?<br />
For over 40 years I’ve enjoyed weightlifting as a<br />
break from economics and as a form of exercise. I’ve<br />
even participated in some contests (however, never<br />
winning any trophies). Age has forced me to slow down<br />
a bit, although I can still "deadlift" -- lifting the weight<br />
off the floor to a standing position -- close to 600<br />
pounds.<br />
If you hang around weight rooms like I do, you’ll<br />
notice a common shape to much of the equipment.<br />
Take a dumbbell, for instance. It has an equal amount<br />
of weight on both sides, connected by a narrow handle<br />
used for griping. Or when I do a deadlift off the gym<br />
floor, I hold and lift a relatively light bar that has much<br />
heavier weights (in the form of plates) on both sides.<br />
I’m telling you this because our current job market<br />
looks a lot like a dumbbell or the bar and plates I pull<br />
for a deadlift. What we’re seeing in the job market is<br />
job growth at the two ends of the market, the highpay<br />
end and the low-pay end, with very little job<br />
growth in the middle.<br />
A recent study confirmed this description for the<br />
national economy. Since early 2010, when the job<br />
market started to improve, through 2012, the<br />
occupations adding the most jobs were food preparers<br />
and personal-care workers at the low end of the pay<br />
scale and management, computer, finance and<br />
advanced health care practitioners at the high end of<br />
the pay scale. Traditional middle-paying jobs in<br />
construction and teaching actually experienced losses.<br />
I was curious to see if the same results have<br />
occurred in North Carolina, so I checked the statistics.<br />
The answer is yes, a similar pattern has happened,<br />
although with some slight differences. For the two<br />
years from 2010 to 2012, the largest job gains have<br />
been for food prep and personal-care workers paying<br />
relatively low wages and for finance and advanced<br />
health care workers receiving relatively high wages.<br />
In our state, protective service jobs, paying mid-level<br />
wages, also was a big job gainer but high-paying<br />
management jobs, which gained at the national level,<br />
lost positions in North Carolina.<br />
Why is this pattern occurring? A big part of the<br />
answer is technology. Computers and other<br />
information technology devices have taken the place<br />
of people for many routine-oriented jobs; that is, jobs<br />
that a machine can be programmed to do. Factory jobs<br />
are a good example. Many say the factory of the future<br />
will have robots doing all the work, with only a few<br />
people behind the controls.<br />
In contrast, it’s more difficult to use technology to<br />
replace workers where direct personal contact is<br />
needed -- as with food prep and personal care jobs --<br />
or where decisions are very complex -- like in finance,<br />
management and medical diagnoses.<br />
There are other possible reasons for the pattern.<br />
Traditionally, construction and construction-related<br />
jobs have been mainstays of middle-paying positions.<br />
Yet these occupations were devastated with the crash<br />
of the residential housing market. And although the<br />
housing market is now staging a comeback,<br />
construction jobs have not. Indeed, in the last two<br />
years, North Carolina has still lost jobs related to<br />
building.<br />
Most economists think there will eventually be a<br />
rebound in construction jobs, and if they’re right, that<br />
will be good news for shoring up the middle of the pay<br />
ladder. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, losses in<br />
manufacturing jobs were absorbed by gains in<br />
construction jobs.<br />
Perhaps the most interesting explanation for the<br />
lack of growth in middle-paying jobs has to do with<br />
supply and not demand. That is, it’s not that<br />
companies don’t want to hire people for jobs in the<br />
mid-range of the pay distribution. Instead, the<br />
problem is there aren’t individuals with the needed<br />
kind of training and skills for these jobs.<br />
<strong>This</strong> issue was highlighted in a recent study from<br />
a national business consulting firm. They forecasted<br />
that by 2020, the nation could face a shortage of close<br />
to 900,000 skilled manufacturing and technical<br />
workers, such as machinists, welders and machinery<br />
operators. They recommend more be done in schools -<br />
- especially high schools – to offer training in these<br />
fields.. The consultants also call on businesses to<br />
become more involved in promoting -- and maybe in<br />
help to finance -- these skills and the jobs tied to them.<br />
The dumbbell shape of today’s job market has<br />
impacts beyond just where people work. Our country<br />
has long been known as a middle-class nation; indeed,<br />
most people identify themselves as middle-class. But<br />
the growth in jobs at both ends of the pay scale (lowpay<br />
and high-pay) reduces the size of the middle class,<br />
leaving profound implications for social cohesion,<br />
income inequality and income mobility.<br />
What, if anything, can we do about this, and who<br />
needs to do it? You decide. Now let’s go pump some<br />
iron!<br />

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY<br />
Cozart & Edwards, PA<br />
Certified Public Accountants<br />
REVIEW THE 2013 RULES ON<br />
MEDICAL EXPENSES AND TAXES<br />
The 2010 law on health care reform included some<br />
changes on medical expenses and taxes that go into<br />
effect this year.<br />
First, the amount that you can contribute to a<br />
health flexible spending account (FSA) is now limited<br />
to $2,500 a year. The limit will be adjusted annually<br />
for inflation.<br />
Next, there’s a change in the threshold for<br />
deducting unreimbursed medical expenses. For those<br />
under the age of 65, the prior threshold was 7.5% of<br />
adjusted gross income. Now only unreimbursed<br />
medical expenses exceeding 10% of a taxpayer’s<br />
adjusted gross income are deductible. Taxpayers who<br />
are 65 and older may continue to take an itemized<br />
deduction for medical expenses exceeding 7.5% of<br />
adjusted gross income through the year 2016.<br />
The IRS issued "Seven Important Tax Facts About<br />
Medical and Dental Expenses" reminding taxpayers<br />
of the rules governing deductibility of costs not<br />
reimbursed by insurance.<br />
Not only is the deduction for medical and dental<br />
expenses limited by the 10% adjusted gross income<br />
threshold, taxpayers must itemize deductions to<br />
benefit. No expenses can be claimed where the<br />
standard deduction is taken.<br />
Qualifying expenses include most medical and<br />
dental costs paid for the taxpayer and his or her<br />
spouse and dependents. Prescription drugs and<br />
insulin qualify, and the cost of medical, dental, and<br />
some long-term care insurance also qualifies. The cost<br />
of travel to obtain medical care qualifies, including<br />
the cost of public transportation or an ambulance,<br />
plus tolls and parking fees. If a car is used for medical<br />
travel, a standard mileage rate of 24 cents a mile is<br />
deductible.<br />
Since using funds from health savings accounts<br />
or flexible spending arrangements to pay for medical<br />
expenses is usually tax-free, no deduction is allowed<br />
for expenses paid with funds from these plans.<br />
If you need details about the current rules on<br />
deducting medical expenses, contact our office.<br />

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer<br />
How to Get Paid for Being a Family Caregiver<br />
Dear Savvy Senior,<br />
I have been taking care of my elderly mother for<br />
nearly three years and it’s taking a huge toll on my<br />
finances. Are there any resources you know about that<br />
can help family caregivers get paid?<br />
Financially Exhausted<br />
Dear Exhausted,<br />
To get paid as a family caregiver, there are various<br />
government programs, tax breaks and family payment<br />
options that may be able to help you, depending on<br />
your mom’s financial situation. Here’s where to look<br />
for help.<br />
State Aid<br />
If your mom is low-income and eligible for<br />
Medicaid, you may be able to get paid a small amount<br />
by the state. In 15 states, Medicaid offers a Cash &<br />
Counseling program (see cashandcounseling.org) that<br />
provides an allowance that can be used for various<br />
services, including paying family members for care.<br />
Many other states have similar programs for lowincome<br />
seniors, even if the person receiving care<br />
doesn’t quite qualify for Medicaid.. To find out about<br />
these options contact your local Medicaid office.<br />
Veterans Aid<br />
In some communities across the U.S., veterans<br />
who are at risk of nursing home placement can enroll<br />
in the Veteran-Directed Home and Community Based<br />
Services program, that allows veterans to manage<br />
their own care, including hiring and paying their own<br />
caregivers..<br />
Also available to wartime veterans and their<br />
spouses, is a benefit called Aid and Attendance that<br />
helps pay for in-home care, as well as assisted living<br />
and nursing home care. <strong>This</strong> benefit can also be used<br />
to pay family caregivers.<br />
To be eligible your mom must need assistance with<br />
daily living activities like bathing, dressing or going<br />
to the bathroom. And, her income must be under<br />
$13,362 as a surviving spouse – minus medical and<br />
long-term care expenses. If your mom is a single<br />
veteran, her income must be below $20,795 to be<br />
eligible. Her assets must also be less than $80,000<br />
excluding her home and car.<br />
To learn more see va.gov/geriatrics, or contact your<br />
regional VA office, or your local veterans service<br />
organization. For contact information, call 800-827-<br />
1000.<br />
Tax Breaks<br />
Uncle Sam may also be able to help if you pay at<br />
least half of your mom’s yearly expenses, and her<br />
annual income was below $3,900 in 2013 (not counting<br />
Social Security). If so, you can claim her as a<br />
dependent on your taxes, and reduce your taxable<br />
income by $3,900. See IRS Publication 501<br />
(www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf) or call the IRS<br />
help-line at 800-829-1040 for information.<br />
If you can’t claim your mom as a dependent, you<br />
may still be able to get a tax break if you’re paying at<br />
least half her living expenses including her medical<br />
and long-term care costs, and they exceed 10 percent<br />
(or 7.5 percent if you’re 65 or over) of your adjusted<br />
gross income. You can include your own medical<br />
expenses in calculating the total. See the IRS<br />
publication 502 (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf) for<br />
details..<br />
Family Payments<br />
If your mom doesn’t financially qualify for the<br />
government aid or the tax breaks, can she afford to<br />
pay you herself or do you have any siblings that would<br />
be willing to chip in? After all, if your mom had to pay<br />
for home care services, the costs would be anywhere<br />
between $12 and $25 per hour.<br />
If she agrees to pay you, it’s best that you or an<br />
attorney draft a short written contract detailing your<br />
work and payment arrangements so every one<br />
involved knows what to expect. A contract will also<br />
help avoid potential problems should your mom ever<br />
need to apply for Medicaid for nursing home care.<br />
Another payment option to consider is for your<br />
mom to adjust her will, so you receive a larger portion<br />
of her estate for providing her care. But to avoid<br />
conflict, be sure all family members are aware and in<br />
agreement.<br />
Also, check to see if your mom has any long-term<br />
care insurance that covers in-home care. If she does,<br />
in some cases those benefits may be used to pay you.<br />

CHRIS ELLIS<br />
EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT FIRM<br />
CONSIDER YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY . . .<br />
AT EACH “SEASON” OF YOUR LIFE<br />
Autumn is almost here. And just as your everyday<br />
tasks change with the seasons, so, too, will your<br />
money management and investment activities at<br />
different phases of your life.<br />
When you’re first starting out, you may need to<br />
repay student debts, but you’ll still need to think<br />
about saving for retirement. So, try to contribute<br />
whatever you can afford to retirement accounts, such<br />
as an IRA and a 401(k). If you have children, you’ll<br />
also want to consider a college savings account, such<br />
as a 529 plan. And you’ll need enough life insurance<br />
to protect your young family.<br />
Later on, when you’re in the middle-to-late stages<br />
of your career, and your income has risen, try to “max<br />
out” your retirement accounts.<br />
As you enter retirement, your chief financial<br />
decision may be how to tap into your retirement<br />
accounts at a sustainable rate that won’t cause you<br />
to outlive your resources.<br />
With diligence and discipline, you can find a<br />
financial and investment strategy to carry you<br />
through the seasons of your life.<br />

the elephant ears, iris<br />

with the bold color<br />
combinations they<br />
produce as you mingle the<br />
rounded with either the<br />
tall and narrow or maybe<br />
the vase-shaped. Each<br />
plant has its own hue,<br />
texture and pungent<br />
scents.<br />
Designing the garden<br />
is like painting a picture.<br />
Eddleman’s presentation<br />
will enlighten all the<br />
garden artists.<br />
Remember “A garden is<br />
never about now but is always<br />
about next year<br />
when today’s dreams and<br />
work is finished.”<br />

Current Version of GED Near Expiration<br />
Vance - Granville<br />
Community College is<br />
reminding area adults<br />
who have started but not<br />
completed the GED that<br />
the current version of<br />
the test, known as the<br />
2002 Series GED Test,<br />
will expire at the end of<br />
the year. The national<br />
GED Testing Service<br />
will replace that series<br />
with a new version on<br />
Jan. 2, 2014.<br />
Students who have<br />
completed at least one<br />
part of the GED test, but<br />
not passed all five<br />
content areas, have until<br />
the end of 2013 to pass<br />
all of the test<br />
components. Otherwise,<br />
the students’ previous<br />
scores will expire and<br />
they will need to start<br />
over again with the new<br />
2014 GED test in order<br />
to receive their high<br />
school equivalency<br />
credential. The five<br />
content areas include<br />
writing, reading, social<br />
studies, science, and<br />
math.<br />
“It’s not too late to<br />
complete the 2002<br />
series,” said VGCC<br />
Adult Basic Skills<br />
department chair Cathy<br />
Barham. “Time is<br />
running out, but our<br />
department is ready to<br />
assist adults who need<br />
to complete their GED,<br />
which will allow them to<br />
qualify for better job<br />
opportunities and to<br />
enroll in an academic<br />
program at VGCC or<br />
another institution of<br />
higher learning.”<br />
Barham said that in<br />
order to help all<br />
students be successful,<br />
VGCC has scheduled<br />
additional evening<br />
classes for students who<br />
need extra assistance<br />
preparing for one or<br />
more of the content<br />
areas. VGCC provides<br />
free GED preparation<br />
classes at all four college<br />
campuses — the Main<br />
Campus in Vance<br />
County, the South<br />
Campus between<br />
Butner and <strong>Creedmoor</strong>,<br />
the Franklin County<br />
Campus near Louisburg<br />
and the Warren County<br />
Campus in Warrenton<br />
— as well as several<br />
other community sites<br />
and online. “Support is<br />
available to help all<br />
students, no matter<br />
where they live or how<br />
busy their schedules<br />
are,” Barham said.<br />
GED completion has<br />
opened doors to better<br />
jobs and college<br />
programs for more than<br />
18 million graduates<br />
since 1942. Last year,<br />
nearly 800,000 adults<br />
sat for the GED test,<br />
which is accepted by<br />
virtually all U.S.<br />
colleges and employers.<br />
The GED Testing<br />
Service periodically<br />
makes changes to the<br />
test, ensuring that the<br />
program continues to be<br />
a reliable and valuable<br />
pathway to a better life<br />
for the millions of adults<br />
without a high school<br />
diploma. The 2014 GED<br />
test will consist of four<br />
content areas:<br />
Reasoning through<br />
Language Arts,<br />
Mathematical<br />
Reasoning, Science, and<br />
Social Studies.<br />

temperature. But how do<br />
you know if your home is<br />
properly insulated?<br />
Run through the<br />
following checklist to<br />
determine whether your<br />
home has adequate<br />
insulation:<br />
• Vintage home: Prior to<br />
consistent building codes,<br />
most homes built before<br />
1980 were not insulated.<br />
If your home has no<br />
materials trapping heat,<br />
energy conservation is an<br />
uphill battle. Walls,<br />
ceilings and floors are the<br />
most important areas to<br />
add insulation for an<br />
immediate, positive<br />
impact on a home’s energy<br />
usage and bills.<br />
• Non-stop furnace:<br />
Does your furnace seem to<br />
run non-stop in the<br />
winter? Adequate<br />
insulation leads to less<br />
maintenance on your<br />
heating system, as it lasts<br />
longer, runs less and will<br />
require less maintenance<br />
for long-term cost<br />
savings.<br />
• T emperature<br />
inconsistency: If you feel<br />
cold spots coming from<br />
the walls or attic, or one<br />
room of your home is<br />
drafty and another one<br />
warm, you may need to<br />
beef up your insulation.<br />
The fireplace, walls and<br />
attic are prime spots for<br />
drafts. Look for insulation<br />
that can fit snugly in<br />
rafters and other tight areas.<br />
Roof hot spots: If<br />
your shingles are exposed<br />
after a recent snowfall,<br />
chances are these “hot<br />
spots” are indicative of<br />
warm air escaping. Check<br />
your attic for adequate<br />
insulation. If you can<br />
easily see your floor joists,<br />
you should add more. Use<br />
insulation, such as stone<br />
wool, that won’t sag or<br />
lose density over time.<br />
• Mold Growth: Mold in<br />
the corners of ceilings<br />
Many North Carolina<br />
residents are asking if the<br />
Energy Star tax holiday is<br />
taking place this year<br />
(2013). The answer is<br />
YES. Here is what you<br />
need to know:<br />
1. The Energy Star tax<br />
holiday is taking place<br />
could mean your current<br />
insulation slumps and<br />
holds moisture. If this<br />
occurs, it’s time to replace<br />
your insulation with one<br />
that does not store or<br />
transfer moisture and is<br />
completely resistant to<br />
mold, mildew, rot and<br />
November 1 - 3, 2013.<br />
2. The Energy Star tax<br />
holiday is not going to be<br />
funded after this year.<br />
The North Carolina<br />
Energy Star tax holiday,<br />
introduced in 2008 to<br />
encourage the use of more<br />
energy efficient products<br />
while saving consumers<br />
money, will end in 2014.<br />
That means that the last<br />
chance to take advantage<br />
of this tax holiday in North<br />
Carolina is November 1ñ3,<br />
2013 (between 12:01 A.M.<br />
on the first Friday of<br />
November and 11:59 P.M.<br />
the following Sunday). The<br />
qualified products are<br />
clothes washers, freezers<br />
and refrigerators, central<br />
air conditioners and room<br />
air conditioners, air-source<br />
heat pumps, ceiling fans,<br />
bacterial growth.<br />
Don’t let cool weather<br />
take you by surprise.<br />
With proper insulation,<br />
you can improve the<br />
comfort of your home<br />
significantly and enjoy<br />
energy savings.<br />
Last Chance To Take Advantage<br />
Of Energy Star Tax Holiday<br />
dehumidifiers, and<br />
programmable<br />
thermostats. <strong>This</strong> does not<br />
apply to the rental of a<br />
product or the sale of a<br />
product for use in a trade<br />
or business.<br />
In addition to saving<br />
through the tax holiday,<br />
there are many things that<br />
you can do to save money<br />
and conserve energy every<br />
day. The NC Cooperative<br />
Extension E-Conservation<br />
Program offers helpful<br />
materials, workshops, and<br />
tools to help North<br />
Carolina residents lower<br />
their utility costs by<br />
conserving energy. Learn<br />

The Roof: Look for<br />
roblem areas, such as<br />
issing or broken<br />
hingles, along with<br />
roofing tiles that are<br />
“flapping” in the wind.<br />
These indicate that a new<br />
roof may be in your future.<br />
Newer products on the<br />
market, such as polymer<br />
shake and slate roofing<br />
tiles, are impact-resistant,<br />
and some tiles are fireand<br />
impact-resistant.<br />
Along with helping<br />
protect against potential<br />
wildfires and severe<br />
weather, these roofs often<br />
come with a homeowner<br />
insurance discount. They<br />
also have a 50-year<br />
limited warranty.<br />
Windows: If you find<br />
the windows in your home<br />
don’t operate easily,<br />
there’s air leaking in or<br />
out of the units or<br />
condensation builds up<br />
between the glass panes,<br />
it may be time to replace<br />
them. Consider vinyl<br />

or warping. When it’s<br />

lightweight pieces are<br />
easy to install, add curb<br />

Main Entry Door:<br />
Can you see light around<br />
your door from the<br />

to close or lock? Is the<br />

are signs it’s time to<br />

How To Treat Peach Tree Borers<br />
BY CARL CANTALUPPI<br />
EXTENSION AGENT,<br />
AGRICULTURE<br />
NC COOPERATIVE<br />
EXTENSION<br />
GRANVILLE COUNTY<br />
CENTER<br />
Peachtree borers are<br />
caterpillars of a<br />
clearwinged moth. The<br />
moths resemble wasps,<br />
but of course the moths do<br />
not sting. These moths<br />
emerge throughout the<br />
growing season, but the<br />
vast majority of them are<br />
in flight between August<br />
15 and September 15.<br />
Consequently, most of<br />
the borers can be<br />
managed preventively by<br />
treating<br />
with<br />
esfenvalerate,<br />
permethrin, cyfluthrin or<br />
other pyrethroid<br />
insecticide around August<br />
15 and again around<br />
September 1. Mix the<br />
insecticide in a bucket of<br />
water and pour the<br />
mixture on the tree trunk,<br />
3 feet above the ground,<br />
and let it soak into the<br />
ground at the base of the<br />
trunk. It is not necessary<br />
to treat higher into the<br />
tree since the moths lay<br />
eggs at the base of<br />
peaches, plums, cherry<br />
laurels, and ornamental<br />
cherries. From these eggs<br />
hatch tiny, white<br />
caterpillars that bore into<br />
the bark and tunnel in the<br />
cambium at the base of<br />
the tree.<br />
If you do not drench<br />
the tree, the borers will go<br />
into the tree and kill it,<br />
due to the plugging of the<br />
tree's vascular system.<br />
Many times, you will not<br />
notice that the tree is<br />
dying before it's too late<br />
to do anything during the<br />
following spring. The<br />
leaves can wilt and<br />
after the fruit has set. So<br />
take notice and treat<br />
early September so that<br />
If many borers infest<br />
a tree, the cambium may<br />
be completely girdled<br />
beneath the bark and the<br />
tree will die. The borers<br />
pupate inside the infested<br />
tree during late spring<br />
and summer and then<br />
emerge as moths a few<br />
weeks later. Look for<br />
gummy plugs containing<br />
frass (insect excrement)<br />
or partially projecting<br />
It is important to treat<br />
to prevent further borers<br />
from invading the tree.<br />
otherwise is to try to<br />
gouge the borer out from<br />
under the bark without<br />
collapse suddenly, right<br />
during mid August to<br />
you won't become<br />
disappointed next year.<br />

Steps For Growing A Productive Fall Garden<br />
Many vegetables are<br />
well adapted to planting in<br />
the summer for fall harvest.<br />
Planting a fall garden<br />
will extend the gardening<br />
season so you can continue<br />
to harvest fresh produce<br />
after earlier crops<br />
have finished. The fall<br />
harvest can be extended<br />
even further by providing<br />
protection from early frosts<br />
or by planting in cold<br />
frames or hotbeds.<br />
Many cool-season<br />
vegetables, such as carrots,<br />
broccoli, cauliflower, and<br />
Brussels sprouts, produce<br />
their best flavor and<br />
quality when they mature<br />
during cool weather. In<br />
North Carolina, the spring<br />
temperatures often heat<br />
up quickly. Vegetables such<br />
as lettuce and spinach,<br />
tend to bolt or develop<br />
bitter flavor when they<br />
mature during hot<br />
summer weather.<br />
Growing a productive<br />
fall vegetable garden<br />
requires thoughtful<br />
planning and good cultural<br />
practices. July and August<br />
are the main planting<br />
times for the fall garden.<br />
Table 1 provides<br />
recommended planting<br />
dates. Vegetables that<br />
have a 60 to 80 day<br />
maturity cycle should be<br />
planted around August 1 in<br />
the Piedmont. Planting of<br />
quick maturing vegetables,<br />
such as turnips and leafy<br />
greens, can be delayed<br />
until September.<br />
Preparing the Site<br />
Before preparing the<br />
soil for a fall garden, you<br />
must decide what to do<br />
with the remains of the<br />
spring garden. In most<br />
cases, the decision is not<br />
difficult because the coolseason<br />
crops have already<br />
matured and the warmseason<br />
vegetables are<br />
beginning to look ragged.<br />
Remove the previous crop<br />
residue and any weed<br />
growth. Prepare the soil by<br />
tilling or spading to a<br />
depth of at least 6 to 8<br />
inches.<br />
If the spring crops were<br />
heavily fertilized, you may<br />
not need to make an initial<br />
pre-plant fertilization.<br />
Otherwise, 1 to 2 lbs. of a<br />
complete fertilizer such as<br />
10-10-10 may be applied<br />
per 100 ft2. of bed space.<br />
Thoroughly incorporate<br />
the fertilizer.<br />
Planting the Fall<br />
Garden<br />
Direct-seed cole crops<br />
such as broccoli, cabbage,<br />
cauliflower, and collards in<br />
early to mid July so that<br />
they can reach transplant<br />
size by early August, or buy<br />
transplants from a garden<br />
center in August. The<br />
success of direct seeding<br />
depends on having<br />
adequate moisture<br />
available to keep the young<br />
seedlings actively growing<br />
after germination.<br />
Our summers can be<br />
hot and dry. Soils may form<br />
a hard crust over the seeds,<br />
which can interfere with<br />
seed germination,<br />
particularly in heavy clay<br />
soil. Seeds of lettuce and<br />
spinach will not germinate<br />
if the soil temperature<br />
exceeds 85oF. You may<br />
need to cover the seeded<br />
area with burlap cloth,<br />
newspapers, or boards to<br />
keep the soil cool and<br />
moist.<br />

<strong>Creedmoor</strong> country setting.<br />
Convenient to all major Triangle<br />
Locations. Call today for your “Home<br />
and Garden” issue special.<br />
using a light mulch over<br />
the seed row will help keep<br />
the temperatures more<br />
favorable for germination.<br />
The shading material must<br />
be removed as soon as the<br />
seeds begin to germinate.<br />
Another useful technique<br />
is to open a furrow, seed,<br />
and cover the seeds with<br />
potting soil or vermiculite.<br />
Young transplants may<br />
also benefit from light<br />
shading for the first few<br />
days after transplanting.<br />
Watering/Fertilizing<br />
Most vegetables<br />
require 1 inch of water per<br />
week. It's best to make a<br />
single watering that<br />
penetrates deeply rather<br />
than frequent shallow<br />
applications. Young<br />
seedlings and germinating<br />
seeds may need more<br />
frequent, light wateriness.<br />
Do not allow seedlings to<br />
dry out excessively. New<br />
transplants may also<br />
benefit from frequent light<br />
waterings until they<br />
develop new roots.<br />
Many fall maturing<br />
vegetables benefit from<br />

sidedressing with nitrogen<br />
just as do spring maturing<br />
vegetables. Most leafy<br />
vegetables will benefit<br />
from an application of<br />
nitrogen three and six<br />
weeks after planting.<br />
Insects and Diseases<br />
It is not uncommon for<br />
insects and diseases to be<br />
more abundant in the fall.<br />
Most problems from<br />
insects and diseases result<br />
from a buildup in their<br />
populations during the<br />
spring and summer. There<br />
is hope of keeping these<br />
pests at tolerable levels,<br />
however, if a few strategies<br />
are followed. Strive to keep<br />
fall vegetables healthy and<br />
actively growing; healthy<br />
plants are less susceptible<br />
to insects and diseases.<br />
Check the plants<br />
frequently for insect and<br />
disease damage. When<br />
sufficient damage is<br />
detected, use an approved<br />
pesticide. You may decide<br />
not to grow vegetables,<br />
such as squash, corn, and<br />
cucumbers that are<br />
specially insect and<br />
disease prone during late<br />
summer and fall.<br />
Frost Protection<br />
You can extend the<br />
season of tender vegetables<br />
by protecting them<br />
through the first early<br />
frost. In North Carolina,<br />
we often enjoy several<br />
weeks of good growing<br />
conditions after the first<br />
frost. Cover growing beds<br />
or rows with burlap or a<br />
floating row cover<br />
supported by stakes or<br />
wire to keep the material<br />
from directly touching the<br />
plants. Individual plants<br />
can be protected by using<br />
milk jugs, paper caps, or<br />
water-holding walls.<br />

Most of the semihardy<br />
and hardy<br />
vegetables will require<br />
little or no frost<br />
protection. Semi-hardy<br />
vegetables should be<br />
harvested before a heavy<br />
freeze. Root crops such as<br />
carrots and radishes<br />
should be harvested or<br />
mulched heavily before a<br />
hard freeze. The harvest<br />
of mulched root crops can<br />
often be extended will into<br />
the winter. During mild<br />
winters, harvest may<br />
continue until spring.<br />

iving savvy homeowners<br />
clear look at what<br />
otential buyers are<br />
ooking for. Here are a few<br />
nsights:<br />
Windows<br />
When it comes to<br />
indows, energy<br />

windows are the three top<br />
“must haves” and<br />
“desirable” types of<br />
windows among new and<br />
potential homebuyers,<br />
according to the NAHB<br />
survey.<br />
As far as materials are<br />
concerned, opting for<br />
lower maintenance vinyl<br />
frames is a good bet, as<br />
survey results from the<br />
study also show that vinyl<br />
framed windows are the<br />
leading preference for<br />
homebuyers for their lowmaintenance<br />
features,<br />
durability and great<br />
insulating factors.<br />
Storage<br />
Homebuyers want<br />
great storage features,<br />
like laundry rooms, linen<br />
closets, garage storage<br />
and walk-in pantries,<br />
says the NAHB survey.<br />
If you don’t have these<br />
features or the budget to<br />
knock down walls or<br />
build additions, you can<br />
at least make the most of<br />
the storage you do have.<br />
Get organized and use<br />
easy-to-install closet<br />
systems that fit into your<br />
existing closets. Doing so<br />
will put your home in the<br />
best light possible.<br />
Entry Doors<br />
Homebuyers want<br />
quality and beauty in<br />
their doors and<br />
entryways, according to<br />
the NAHB study, and<br />
fiberglass doors are<br />
gaining popularity. It’s no<br />
wonder, since the door is<br />
the first thing anyone<br />
sees when entering a<br />

Utilize Your Home’s Hidden Storage Space<br />
As more Americans<br />
are living in their houses<br />
longer due to the<br />
uncertain economy, many<br />
of us are outgrowing our<br />
existing homes. One<br />
innovative solution to<br />
expand your living space<br />
may be right under your<br />
nose -- your neglected<br />
garage.<br />
Moving cars out of the<br />
garage, adding shelving,<br />
cabinetry and overhead<br />
storage can quickly turn<br />
a cluttered dumping<br />
ground into additional<br />
living space. You even<br />
can complete this project<br />
over a weekend.<br />
Once everything is<br />
put away you can add a<br />
television, card and game<br />
tables or even a pool table<br />
as you find new ways to<br />
use your newly-found<br />
space.<br />
To tackle this project,<br />
follow these three easy<br />
steps:<br />
Use It or Lose It<br />
The beginning of any<br />
organization project is to<br />
get rid of items that you<br />
may have not have used<br />
in the last six months or<br />
year. If you haven't<br />
needed the item in that<br />
long, or have forgotten<br />
you have it, you probably<br />
don't need it.<br />
Have a garage sale,<br />
give items to charity or<br />
simply throw things<br />
away. Keeping something<br />
for years in your garage<br />
when you aren't using it<br />
isn't saving you money;<br />
it's costing you valuable<br />
living space.<br />
Store It<br />
Hanging items on<br />
walls with hooks and<br />
storing items on shelving<br />
is a great start. Be sure<br />
to get hooks and storage<br />
systems that make your<br />
life easier. For example,<br />
one set of innovate hooks<br />
from Tornado lets you<br />
install hooks right into<br />
drywall using only a<br />
screwdriver. It's easy to<br />
hang up lawn and garden<br />
tools, ladders, extension<br />
cords, and power tools to<br />
get them out of the way.<br />

Keep Your Fireplace Burning Safely <strong>This</strong> Season<br />
There's a nip in the air<br />
nd you're yearning to<br />
nuggle up in front of a<br />
rackling fire. But before<br />
ou do, there are a few<br />
recautions you should<br />
ake to make sure you and<br />
our loved ones are safe in<br />
ront of those warming<br />
mbers.<br />
Recent statistics<br />
ndicate that an average of<br />
5,100 chimney fires occur<br />
very year, claiming as<br />
any as 30 lives and<br />
ausing $126.1 million in<br />
roperty damage<br />
nnually.<br />
"A fireplace is a<br />
wonderful source of beauty<br />
and comfort, but<br />
homeowners must be<br />
vigilant," says Bill Wetzel.<br />
"Proper fireplace and<br />
chimney maintenance is<br />
the best way to avoid<br />
tragic losses."<br />
If your home has a<br />
wood-burning fireplace,<br />
make sure you follow these<br />
safety measures:<br />
* Get your chimney<br />
and fireplace cleaned<br />
annually. You can do it<br />
yourself if you're willing to<br />
invest in the proper<br />
equipment and time, but<br />
the Chimney Safety<br />
Institute of America<br />
suggests using certified<br />
chimney sweeps. Annual<br />
cleanings reduce the risk<br />
of fires and carbon<br />
monoxide poisonings due<br />
to creosote buildup or<br />
obstructions in the<br />
chimneys. You can find out<br />
more at csia.org.<br />
* Install smoke and<br />
carbon monoxide<br />
detectors. Ideally, they<br />
should be placed<br />
throughout the house, but<br />
most definitely in the<br />
room where the fireplace<br />
is located. Check the<br />
batteries every spring and<br />
fall to make sure they're<br />
working properly.<br />
* Install chimney tops<br />
or shrouds. These small<br />
additions prevent debris<br />
and small animals from<br />
obstructing the chimney.<br />
Styles vary depending on<br />
the type of fireplace you<br />
have. To learn which style<br />
you need and to view the<br />
decorative options, visit<br />
LennoxHearthProducts.com.<br />
* Keep the hearth area<br />
clear. All objects<br />
(including people) should<br />
be kept at least 36 inches<br />
away from the hearth to<br />
prevent combustible<br />
material from catching<br />
fire. Also, never leave a<br />
fire unattended, especially<br />
if you have children or<br />
pets.<br />
* Fire screens are a<br />
must. It's best to use a<br />
mesh-style screen to<br />
prevent flying sparks and<br />
ash from burning or<br />
staining carpets or<br />
flooring.<br />
* Use the right<br />
materials and fuel. Choose<br />
well-seasoned wood that<br />
was cut 6 to 12 months<br />
earlier and stored in a<br />
covered location. Never<br />
burn Christmas trees or<br />
treated wood in your<br />
fireplace, and never use an<br />
accelerant other than<br />
newspaper and dry<br />
kindling (lighter fluid is<br />
meant for your outdoor<br />
grill only).<br />

visit the Burn Wisely<br />
section at epa.gov/<br />

"Good chimney and<br />
fireplace maintenance is<br />
relatively easy," says<br />
Wetzel. "And when<br />
practiced regularly, you<br />
can enjoy your fireplace<br />
and create warm memories<br />
for many years to come."<br />
Home Improvement Projects That Increase Your Home’s Value<br />
Selling a home in<br />
today’s aggressive<br />
marketplace can be<br />
challenging. The good<br />
news is there are a few<br />
tweaks that can give<br />
homeowners a serious leg<br />
up on the competition.<br />
With the warmer<br />
months being the most<br />
active time of year to buy<br />
and sell real estate, it’s<br />
important to ensure your<br />
home is seen in the best<br />
light possible.<br />
“Despite the influx of<br />
homes for sale this season,<br />
the process of buying and<br />
selling a home can be<br />
simple, efficient and<br />
enjoyable,” says Wendy<br />
Froehlich of Homes.com,<br />
one of the nation’s top<br />
online real estate listing<br />
and lifestyle resources.<br />
According to<br />
Homes.com, the top five<br />
projects that improve<br />
home equity are:<br />
Bathrooms: If adding<br />
an additional bathroom<br />
isn’t an option, upgrade<br />
existing ones.<br />
Adding a dual vanity<br />
to a master or secondary<br />
bath improves<br />
functionality, allowing<br />
multiple people to use the<br />
space. Change out<br />
fixtures like faucets and<br />
shower doors to increase<br />
aesthetic appeal. If you’re<br />
on a budget, replace light<br />
fixtures or switch plates to<br />
help refresh the space.<br />
When working with a<br />
small space, highlight<br />
storage options with<br />
shelving and update or<br />
remove wall decor, paint<br />
or wallpaper.<br />
Kitchen: Kitchen<br />
renovations can cost<br />
anywhere from $20,000 to<br />
$40,000 and more. If<br />
that’s not in your budget,<br />
upgrading cabinetry and<br />
paint does wonders to<br />
liven up even the most<br />
outdated spaces.<br />
Add crown or<br />
decorative moulding to<br />
shape out the kitchen<br />
cabinets and modernize<br />
the space. Repaint<br />
cabinets, or add new<br />
hardware to add visual<br />
interest and brighten<br />
dark spaces.<br />
Outdoor Spaces:<br />
Curb appeal adds<br />
immediate interest to any<br />
home’s exterior. According<br />
to Remodeling Magazine,<br />
improving outdoor spaces<br />
can increase a home’s<br />
resale value dollar-fordollar.<br />
Frame the front<br />
walkway with items that<br />
add visual interest, like<br />
flowers, potted plants,<br />
large rocks of various<br />
sizes and solar-powered<br />
lights. If yard space is<br />
scarce, hanging plants are<br />
another great, low-cost<br />
option.<br />
Extend outdoor<br />
projects to the backyard<br />
— power-wash decks or<br />
patios and clean screenedin<br />
areas.<br />
Basement: Basement<br />
improvements can<br />
optimize livable space and<br />
protect the home from<br />
extreme weather, mold,<br />
moisture damage and<br />
mites. Whether<br />
transitioning the<br />
basement to a home gym,<br />
office or family room, the<br />
basics remain the same:<br />
insulate well and<br />
waterproof.<br />
Maximize space by<br />
including shelving and<br />
storage units. If the<br />
opportunity exists, make<br />
the space feel open and<br />
inviting by creating an<br />
open stairwell, a trick that<br />
visually connects the<br />
upper part of the house<br />
with the lower, and filters<br />
natural light into the<br />
space.<br />
M u d r o o m :<br />
Mudrooms ensure<br />
families stay clutter-free<br />
and have a dedicated<br />
space to drop stuff as they<br />
come through the door.<br />
They can also make<br />
potential homeowners feel<br />
welcome upon entry.<br />
While knocking out a<br />
wall to create a mudroom<br />
is expensive and laborintensive,<br />
you can make a<br />
drop zone’ by simply<br />
anchoring a bench to an<br />
empty wall and hanging<br />
labeled storage units.<br />
Making homes stand<br />
out in a sea of real estate<br />
listings isn’t always easy.<br />

It’s Easy to<br />
KILL YOUR BUSINESS<br />
Don’t Advertise<br />
Just pretend that you don’t have anything to advertise<br />
this week. Forget the thousands of items you have on the<br />
shelves of your store, or the service you have to offer...<br />
don’t let potential customers know about them. Now<br />
that’s a good way to KILL your business.<br />
Don’t Advertise<br />
Say you don’t have the time to fix up an advertisement<br />
this week. Just let opportunity after opportunity to<br />
promote your business pass by - it will take less of your<br />
time. And you’ll be less busy serving customers if they<br />
don’t know what you have to offer. Now that’s another<br />
way to KILL your business.<br />
Don’t Advertise<br />
Assume everybody in the trade territory knows what<br />
you have for sale, that you’ve been in business so long<br />
that you don’t need to advertise since the customers will<br />
come to you without it. Forget that there are new<br />
potential customers coming into the community, that<br />
you have new and better products to offer. Forget that<br />
you have Big City competition trying to attract more and<br />
more and more of your customers to their business.<br />
THAT’S A REAL GOOD WAY TO KILL YOUR<br />
BUSINESS.<br />
Don’t Advertise<br />
Tell yourself it costs too much to advertise - that you<br />
didn’t get enough out of it. Overlook the fact that<br />
advertising is an investment in selling - not an expense.<br />
Be sure you don’t provide for an adequate advertising<br />
budget for your business. IT’S A GOOD WAY TO KILL<br />
YOUR BUSINESS.<br />
...but don’t kid yourself, advertising pays...<br />

Tips For Buying A Home In Today’s Market<br />
If you’re considering<br />
buying a home, some<br />
experts think you should<br />
get a move on it. Interest<br />
rates are at 65-year record<br />
lows and national home<br />
prices have finally hit<br />
bottom and are on the<br />
rise. Despite what you<br />
may be hearing, loans are<br />
available for those with<br />
good credit histories,<br />
stable income and<br />
sufficient savings.<br />
But don’t jump right in<br />
unprepared. Whether<br />
you’re a seasoned buyer or<br />
a newbie, there are<br />
strategies that can help<br />
you throughout the homebuying<br />
process:<br />
Stick to Your Budget:<br />
Determining how much<br />
home you can afford<br />
depends on several<br />
factors, including your<br />
annual gross income,<br />
credit history, current<br />
mortgage rates and the<br />
amount of your down<br />
payment.<br />
In today’s market, you<br />
can expect: a down<br />
payment to generally be<br />
between 5 to 20 percent of<br />
the purchase price for a<br />
conventional mortgage.<br />
Lenders recommend that<br />
your mortgage payment<br />
(principal, interest, taxes<br />
and mortgage insurance)<br />
be less than 28 percent of<br />
your monthly gross<br />
income.<br />
Before looking for a<br />
home, consider calling a<br />
Department of Housing<br />
and Urban Developmentapproved<br />
housing<br />
counselor for free and<br />
confidential financial<br />
assistance.<br />
Avoid Borrowing<br />
Pitfalls: Unscrupulous<br />
lenders can damage your<br />
credit and cause you<br />
financial hardship. Here<br />
are some ways to avoid<br />
becoming a victim:<br />
• Say ‘no’ to easy money.<br />
Beware if someone claims<br />
that your credit problems<br />
won’t affect the interest<br />
rate. If a solicitation is<br />
really appealing, get it in<br />
writing and seek a second<br />
opinion.<br />
• Talk to several lenders<br />
to find the best loan.<br />
• Know if the loan<br />
offered to you charges a<br />
fee if you pay it off early.<br />
If it’s a requirement of the<br />
loan, ask about other<br />
products that don’t<br />
contain this type of<br />
penalty.<br />
• Ensure documents are<br />
correct and complete.<br />
Beware of anyone offering<br />
to falsify your income<br />
information to qualify you<br />
for a loan. Never sign<br />
documents that have<br />
incorrect dates or blank<br />
fields.<br />
• Ask for written<br />
estimates that include all<br />
points and fees. When you<br />
get to the closing table, if<br />
any fees or charges differ<br />
from what was previously<br />
disclosed, delay closing<br />
until all terms are<br />
understood.<br />
• If you’re taking equity<br />
out of your property, only<br />
take the minimum.<br />
Equity typically builds<br />
slowly over time, so it’s<br />
important to try to<br />
preserve it.<br />
• If you’re not sure, don’t<br />
sign! Get advice first from<br />
a reputable consumer<br />
credit counseling agency<br />
Know the Mortgage<br />
Process: Mortgages are<br />
financial commitments.<br />
mortgage may make a big<br />
monthly payments and<br />
To determine the best<br />
term for your personal<br />
situation and one that<br />
aligns with your financial<br />
goals, talk with your<br />
professional for guidance.<br />
intimidating, especially if<br />
homebuyer. Do your<br />
research, reach out to the<br />
professionals, stick to<br />
your budget and be sure<br />
you’re ready to take on<br />
responsibilities of being a<br />
or housing counselor.<br />
serious long-term<br />
Selecting the right<br />
difference in your<br />
overall cost of your loan.<br />
lender or financial<br />
The prospect of<br />
making such a big<br />
investment can be<br />
you’re a first time<br />
the<br />
financial<br />
homeowner.<br />
