The City of
Creedmoor has asked for
an increase in water and
sewer allocation from the
South Granville Water
and Sewer Authority
which it now pays for
water and sewer
treatment services.
The city now has an

allocation of 550,000
gallons per day. The new
request includes a high
flow and a low flow. The
net allocation request
made by the city would be
for an additional 542,000
additional gallons per day
of water and waste water.
Thomas Mercer,
Creedmoor City Manager,
in making the request to
SGWASA, said “the City’s
explosive growth rate
reported at 84.8% over
the last ten-year census,
although the current
economy has resulted in
a slowing from that pace,
but we are seeing signs of
increasing demand. With
anticipated improvement
in economic conditions,
we must plan ahead and
prepare adequately for
the future resources
needed for the City. It is
imperative that we secure
an adequate supply of
potable water and waste

SGHS Planning For 50th Birthday
South Granville High
School is preparing to
celebrate a special
birthday – one that will
last for an entire school
year. The planning has
begun, but additional
interested alumni are
needed to help with the
process.
On this date fifty
years ago, high school
students in southern
Granville County
attended three separate
schools and South
Granville was a
construction site. It did
not open until September
of 1962 when Creedmoor,
Wilton and Stem high
schools were consolidated
and the South Granville
the community knows
today began.
Beginning in the Fall
of 2012, the school, for
many years the only high
school in the area, will
begin a year-long fiftieth
birthday party. A planning
committee has started
work with basic plans
calling for a kick-off
celebration at the
beginning of the school
year. More festivities will
be held throughout the
year honoring students
from each decade from the
60’s through the present
day.
With the planning
just beginning, many more
interested South Granville
alumni are needed to
assist with all the details
necessary to carry out the
birthday party. Those who
would like to help should
email their contact
information, graduation
year and area of interest to
sghs50thbirthday@gmail
.com.
Organizers are
needed for each of the
decade celebrations and
assistance will be
necessary for the kick-off
festivities and other
possible activities during
the year. Alumni are
encouraged to remember
their high school days,
participate in the planning
this year and then enjoy
the activities when they
take place next year.
More information will
soon be available on the
school websites
(www.gcs.k12.nc.us/
sghsshls
or
www.gcs.k12.nc.us/
sghsbgc) and on Facebook.
On Saturday, April 14, 2012 a banquet was held at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill to honor the 2012 North Carolina High
School Athletic Association Hall of Fame inductees. Among those inducted was Creedmoor native, James Durward
Fleming. “Coach” Jimmy Fleming was called by the Hall of Fame staff to be one of the state’s outstanding coaches in
girls’ softball. But, he also coached men’s basketball, track, football, baseball and cheerleading during his career at
South Granville. While Fleming’s men’s basketball teams did win four conference basketball championships, he is best
remembered for his success in girls’ softball. His girls’ softball team at South Granville High School won 21 consecutive
conference titles and a whopping 178 conference games in a row to go with a 54 consecutive game win streak that
spanned three different seasons. His teams won seven NCHSAA state softball titles, including five in slow-pitch, and
finished second twice. He was named South Granville Jaycee of the year in 1973, selected NCHSAA male coach of the
year in 1994. Fleming was a member of the NCHSAA Board of Directors from 1990 through 1994. In 2002, he received the
Creedmoor Chamber of Commerce Citizenship Award. Fleming also served as athletic director of South Granville for 33
years. He coached in the North Carolina Coaches Association East-West all-star baseball game in 1986. A graduate of
Creedmoor High School and East Carolina University, Fleming is the son of the late Durward and Marie Fleming. He and
his wife, Betty, reside in Creedmoor.
way. The most logical and
preferred approach is to
secure these additional
needs from SGWASA as
the regional authority,
assuming we can get an
commitment on capacity
and price. The purpose of
this letter is to request
available delivery of the
equal amounts (average
commitment is critical to
the City at this time, as
we are approaching the
existing Joe Peed force

acceptable written

SGWASA responded
stating that the Rate

the $28 million waste
water treatment upgrade
considered which is
anticipated to be
necessary to comply with
new regulations to make
the treatment comply
with new Falls Lake
Rules designed to protect

The response said
that for SGWASA to grant
the request to guarantee
allocation there would be
an
allocation
development fee which
would be payable at the
time of the allocation in
the amount of three
million five hundred and
thirty seven thousand,

FAT HARRY’S
Cooking Column
by Harry Coleman
I found out in February that I have cancer.
I had a swollen place under my arm that my wife
had first noticed. I said it was the size of a lemon, she
said it was grapefruit size. I think I was closer to right.
I showed it to my long time personal doctor, Dr.
Robert Juer, who sent me to have it first scanned and
then I had an MRI done. After the MRI Dr. Juer
suggested I go to a specialist at a research related
cancer center that was university related.
I chose the new Cancer Center at Duke. Dr. Juer
connected me with a specialist at the Cancer Center.
The specialist was nearly sure that I had lymphoma
because of the location and size of the tumor. He had
even created a cancer plan on how to treat the
lymphoma.
He scheduled a biopsy of the growth.
The result of the biopsy was that it wasn’t
lymphoma, but some type of tissue the surgeon said
he had not seen before.
Pathology studies of the mass determined that I
had a rare cancer called Sarcoma. Not only was it
rare, there are over 200 different types of Sarcoma.
The good news was that where lymphoma almost
certainly required chemotherapy, I might get by with
just radiation therapy followed by surgical removal of
the tumor followed by more radiation.
I began a session of 25 days of radiation, five days
a week for five weeks.
I learned the system for the radiation department
at the brand new Cancer Center. I just drove up to
valet parking and left my car with an attendant.
My parking was free because I was undergoing
treatment. The guys quickly figured out that I would
give them a $2.00 tip so they really took good care of
me and my 1986 Cutlass which they considered an
“oldie goldie.”
I started having side effects from the tumor which
included extreme fatigue, and a night time low grade
fever on a predictable schedule every night that also
gave me flu like feelings for about the four hour
duration of the fever.
Unfortunately the fever started about 6 p.m. and
lasted until 10 p.m. This conflicted directly with my
normal schedule of covering about four government
meetings a week, most of which start at 7 p.m. My
doctors theorized that my fevers may be coming from
a leakage from my tumor.
They decided to cut short my radiation after about
two weeks, until after they could schedule an operation
to remove the tumor.
That operation is now scheduled for Monday, April
30th. In the mean time I continue to feel seriously
fatigued and sick at night. I’ve continued to be able to
work during the day. I’m ready for the operation.
The radiation itself was not a big event. The
technicians were very nice to me. They would wrap
their arms around me and hold on when I started
walking unsteady.
I made sure I walked unsteady when the best
looking technicians were taking care of me.
The roughest part of the daily radiation treatments
was driving to Durham every day. The travel and
treatment usually lasted about 3 hours a day away
from work, in addition to not being able to work at
night. It was making it difficult to get my work done.
My newest symptoms are that I can no longer
predict when the fever is going to come on. It could be
anytime during the day or night.
Leave it to say, I’m looking forward to getting my
surgery over with and wish I did not have to wait
another 10 days feeling rough.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope
April 19 - April 25, 2012
by Lasha Seniuk
ARIES (March 21-
April 19): Frustrations
outflank your fantasies.
Right now, it seems that
you can’t achieve a
compromise or come to
an agreement. In the
week ahead, take stock
of what it is that you
want and let that come
first.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20): Accept
responsibilities and
don’t avoid unpleasant
tasks. Once the worst is
over in the first half of
the week, everything
gets better. Double
check your alarm clock,
as lateness could earn
black marks.
GEMINI (May 21-
June 20): Speaking to a
brick wall only causes
echoes. A lack of
understanding could
block agreement. Wait
until later in the week
to make a presentation,
discuss plans, or to talk
over an important
situation.
CANCER (June 21-
July 22): Don’t make
waves. Bite back a
tendency to criticize -
and remember that no
one likes to hear, “I told
you so.” In the first part
of the week, your ability
to influence and charm
a partner hits a low
point.
LEO (July 23-Aug.
22): The week may start
off on a sour note, but
sweet things may come
your way by the end of
it. Don’t fight the
current; hold off on key
decisions and
negotiations for several
days. Patience will pay
off.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-
Sept. 22): Never
prepare to sunbathe on
a cloudy day. Maintain
a low profile for the next
few days when it is
likely that worries will
obscure happiness and
aggravations seem to be
magnified. Watch your
pennies this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): You might feel like

try to find the prize, you
end up running into dead
ends. It is wisest to wait
until late in the week to
make major decisions or
changes; avoid
unpredictability.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-
Nov. 21): You can’t make
hay on a rainy day. Your
judgment could be skewed
in the first part of the
week, so hold off on
making key decisions or
finalizing important deals.
Attend to pressing
obligations.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): Keep a lid on
it. In the week ahead, don’t
join a chorus of criticisms
just to seem agreeable to
your companions. You
could be left in an
awkward position when
opinions shift.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19): While it is
admirable to be a model of
micromanage every detail.
This isn’t the right time to
offer criticism, as others
will take it the wrong way.
Hold off decisions until
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 18): Don’t make
molehills. In the early part
of the week, don’t draw
attention to your own
shortcomings or mistakes,
or find fault with others
because it may cause

THURSDAY
April 19, 2012
April is being
bserved as Sexual
ssault Awareness
onth.
Information provided
y Lauren Rene,
xecutive Director of
amilies Living Violence
ree in Granville County,
s that victims should
now their options after
sexual assault.
If you have been sexully
assaulted or raped,
here is no right or wrong
hoice about what to do
ext. You have the right
o make your own
ecisions. But adult
ictims should know
hat their legal, medical
nd personal options are
o make the best decision.
here are three basic
hings to know.
First, if you need or
ant help, you can
lways call 911 or the
risis line at FLVF (919-
28-3579). A call to 911
r the crisis line is simply
way to get help and
ointed in the right diection
for services.
You do not have to be
njured or in immediate
hysical danger to call
11 or the crisis line.
eeking help through 911
r the crisis line does not
ean you have to report
n assault or involve the
olice.
Second, you do not
ave to file a police report
r press criminal charges
o get help or receive
edical care from a
ospital. Victims are
ften scared and confused
fter a rape or sexual
ssault, unsure how they
ant to proceed; however,
ven if you do not have
ny apparent physical
njuries, it is still recomended
that you seek a
horough medical exam.
The hospital staff
should always protect
your confidentiality and
privacy.
Third, you do not have
to pay for a forensic exam
(rape kit). Even if you are
undecided about whether
you want to make a police
report or want to
prosecute your assailant,
having evidence collected
as soon as possible after a
sexual assault gives you
the option of preserving
that evidence should you
decide to press charges in
the future. Federal and
state laws allow adult
victims to report sexual
offenses and provide
evidence anonymously,
without cost to the victim
and without reporting to
law enforcement.
As previously noted,
many victims are scared
and confused after a rape
or sexual assault, unsure
of the next step, or even if
knowing what occurred is
a sexual offense. Many
victims are wary of
involving the police or
courts especially if they
have had negative
experiences in the past.
Some victims may
have been threatened
with harm by the offender
if they say anything. Most
victims are in fact
sexually assaulted by
people they know, a family
member, dating partner,
spouse or an acquaintance,
often coerced into
sexual activity making
the assault experience
even more confusing to
the victim.
North Carolina recognizes
that there are many
factors that can impact a
victim’s decision to immediately
report a sexual assault
or involve the criminal
justice system but also
the need for urgent
medical attention and the
timely collection of
evidence. Anonymous
Reporting and the Rape
Victim Assistance Fund
ensure that victims of
sexual assault are
afforded these options.
With this being said,
victims also need to be
aware of the benefits of cooperating
with law enforcement
including the
opportunity to collect evidence
from the suspect
and the crime scene,
which could be
permanently lost if
delayed. There should be
fewer challenges for the
prosecutor should charges
and prosecution against
the suspect be pursued,
holding the perpetrator
accountable, and possibly
preventing the offender
from hurting again.

Five Republicans Hope To Face Atkinson
in Schools Superintendent Race
A few months ago,
it appeared that
Democratic state schools
superintendent June
Atkinson would face
primary opposition.
Or, maybe she
wouldn't even seek a third
term in the job.
But after Atkinson
announced that she
would run, the former
teacher and education
administrator suddenly
found herself without any
primary opposition. State
Rep. Rick Glazier of
Fayetteville decided
against challenging
Atkinson, and no other
Democrats took the
plunge either.
That doesn't mean
that there aren't plenty of
Republicans wanting a
shot at Atkinson.
Five Republicans
have filed for the post,
and are now trying to
distinguish themselves
from each other. All have
education backgrounds:
two are teachers, two are
local school board
members and one is a
college instructor.
Ray Martin is 24 year
public school teacher and
U.S. Navy veteran.
Martin
says he
wants to
focus on
improving
the graduation
r a t e
through
innovation
and encouraging
a passion
for learning.
He's
also been critical of what
he says is a tendency by
Democrats to "throw
more money at the
problem."
Martin points out that
the state's graduation
rate, if it were a number
grade, would still be a "D"
despite some recent
improvement.
David Scholl is a small
business consultant and
has been a member of the
Union County Board of
Education since 2008.
Scholl says his
perspective as a private
business owner will allow
him to better address the
problems facing public
schools. He wants to
encourage innovation, the
use of more technology in

John
Tedesco
is a

Count
school
board
member
who has been in the
middle of the controversy
regarding that school
system's student
assignment plan. Tedesco
formerly served as chief
development officer for
Big Brothers Big Sisters
of the Triangle and was
also a director of
development for Harbor
House in New Jersey.
Tedesco says he wants
to expand vocational
education, strengthen
high school academic
standards, expand
partnerships between
schools and industry,
encourage merit-based
pay for teachers and move
away from a teach-to-thetest
culture. His
campaign mantra has
been, "Public education
takes care of other
people's children with
other people's money and
needs to stand
accountable for both."
Mark Crawford
served one term in the
state House in 2001-02
and has been an
instructor at Western
Carolina University since
2005. He says he will
improve schools at all
levels by focusing on
spending in the classroom
while reducing
bureaucracy, inefficiency
and waste.
Richard Alexander is
a former small-business
owner from Union County
who teaches school in
Lancaster, South
Carolina.
Alexander says he will
cut the state Department
of Public Instruction
budget by 60 percent in
his first two years and
return the savings to local
school districts. He has
said that he teaches in
South Carolina partly
because he wants to be
able to speak freely about
the state of the schools in
his home state.
The Primary Of All
Primaries - Still Not Over
Letters To The Editor
REDISTRICTING CHANGES
To The Editor:
The Granville County Human Relations
Commission wants to ensure that all county citizens
are aware of the results of voter precinct redistricting.
Redistricting is the process of redrawing the
districts from which public officials are elected.
Members of the United States House of
Representatives, the North Carolina Senate and the
North Carolina House of Representatives are elected
by voters, who live in districts. The North Carolina
General Assembly is required to redraw all of these
districts following each 10 year census, due to population
changes and the need to maintain equal
representation. The most recent census was carried
out in 2010, so districts were redrawn in 2011.
As a result of redistricting, there are a number of
changes in the voting districts and precincts for
Granville County citizens. Where you vote, and who
you vote for, may be affected by the 2011 redistricting.
Earlier this year, a letter was sent from the
Granville County Board of Elections to each registered
voter regarding the redistricting changes and potential
(Continued On PAGE 9A)
E arly voting is
under way this week in
North Carolina’s primary
elections. So far there is
not much excitement.
Sixty-two years ago
we had a much different
primary and run-off
election experience.
Voters came out in record
numbers.
Today, a surprising
number of people still
remember that election
and can tell you how the
bitter struggle divided the
state. Many of those who
"remember" were not yet
born in 1950. They know
the story well because it
is told over and over again
and handed down from
political generation-togeneration,
sounding like
an Old Testament story of
God’s chosen people
battling the Philistines.
North Carolina
historians agree that the
1950 U. S. Senate
primary between Frank
Graham and Willis Smith
helped define North
Carolina
politics.

In the meantime here

dis-tinguished Raleigh
attorney who had served
as president of the
American Bar Association.
At the beginning
of the campaign,
both men enjoyed wide
respect throughout the
state—even from those
who disagreed with them.
Graham led the first
primary in May 1950 with
48.9 percent of the vote.
Smith had 40.5 percent.
In those days, unless a
candidate reached 50
percent, the second place
finisher could call for a
run-off. At first Smith

Granville County Retired School Personnel Meet
The Granville County
Unit of North Carolina
Retired School Personnel
met on Wed., April 11th, at
Richard H. Thornton
Library in Oxford. Dr. Tim
Farley, Superintendent of
Granville County Schools
was guest speaker.
Dr. Farley talked to the
group about his vision for
Granville County Schools.
He stated that the driving
force for a vision is to
“believe in continuous
improvement and that it is
not his vision but our
vision” for the Granville
County Schools.
He emphasized that
Granville County has good
schools and personnel and
are making progress but
must seek that which is
better. He said, “we must
take what we have and
continue forward to greater
achievement. Good is not
good enough.”
He praised the teachers
in the school system and
said that they are good at
what they do — teaching.
He said “the 21st
century requires changes
and adaptations in teaching
methods and the types of
materials used. Along with
improved methods and
materials, educators are
having to encounter
problems that are pitfalls to
what they are trying to do,
such as lack of adequate
funding and fewer adults
dealing with more
students.”

response to city officials,
Mize clarified that when
the estimate used to
request funding to USDA
for the cost of
construction for required
updates of the SGWASA
construction were first
estimated, the costs of the
necessary upgrades were
projected to be the figures
called for a requirement
of 14 to 17 million dollars
to make the needed
improvements, but now
at 60% design completion
that estimate has
increased to 29.1 million

contact VGCC science
instructor Dr. Dan Settles
at (252) 738-3449 or
settles@vgcc.edu.
He said, “This is the
first major re-evaluation
of the rate model since
2008. The City of
Creedmoor’s base rate is
based on its portion of
demand on the SGWASA
system, so the rate is set
to cover that portion of
the expenses incurred by
SGWASA. This new flow
uses a higher percent of
SGWASA’s expenses, so
the City’s base rate will
go up. This increase will
happen to the existing
flow, not just the new
allocation.”
Mize said, “I did
mention that in my
presentation to the
SGWASA Board I had
illustrated that, like
other customers, we had
historically given up to
five years to use an
allocation request. It
would still be my
recommendation to the
Board that the City of
Creedmoor be given five
years to develop as much
of this allocation as
possible.”

Granville County United Way Celebrates Successful Campaign
Granville County United
Way had an amazing year
despite difficult times
according to Brenda
Dickerson Daniel. “Granville
County has recognized the
needs of our community and
has risen to the occasion by
contributing significantly to
the 18 Granville County
United Way agencies and
programs,” she said.
Granville County United

businesses and industries
that helped raise more than
$360,000 through workplace

conducted employee
campaigns this year and
commended them on what
was accomplished.

Smith distanced
himself from his
supporters’ tactics, they
"played the race card."
Flyers, newspaper ads,
and mail used crude
inflammatory language
to assert that Graham
supported mixing the
races in the workplace
and everywhere else. And
to a lesser degree,
Smith’s followers played
up Graham’s membership
in organizations
that were supposedly
communist "fronts."
Graham refused to
respond in kind. But his
supporters attempted,
without success, to
inflame voters against

tactics won the run-off for
their candidate.
Why does the
Graham-Smith contest
continue to be significant?
One reason is
that several important
recent political leaders
cut their teeth in that
battle. For instance,
Jesse Helms worked
vigorously on the Smith
side and Terry Sanford
took on one of the
toughest precincts in
Fayetteville for Graham.
There are others, some
still alive, who got their
start in this campaign
and still remember. But
many more are indirect
disciples of Graham or
Smith, through political
figures like Sanford and
Helms.
Perhaps the
battlefront is quiet this
spring, but the war

Stem Woman Wins $208,794
Phyllis Oakes, a resident
of Stem in
Granville County, took a
break from playing
Powerball and Mega
Millions this week
because she wanted to
try a jackpot game with
better odds. On Tuesday,
April 10, she decided to
try her luck playing
Carolina Cash 5. A few
hours later, she found
herself holding a ticket
worth $208,794.
“When I saw I had
matched all five
numbers, I was
speechless,” Oakes said.
“I know people win the
lottery every day, and I
figured someone had to
win this one. I just
couldn’t believe it was
me.”
She plans to use her
winnings, worth
$141,980 after taxes, to
pay bills, help her family
and save for the future.
She purchased the
winning Quick Pick
ticket at Tommy’s Mini
Mart on South Miami
Boulevard in Durham.
“It is absolutely
amazing to realize
you’re a winner,” Oakes
said as she held her
check for the first time.
“You can’t sleep. You
keep thinking it’s a
dream and that the
numbers are going to
change. It’s just
unbelievable.”
Oakes said that the
fact that the lottery
helps education
programs in the state is
very important to her.
This fiscal year, 52
percent of lottery dollars
will be used to pay for
teacher salaries in
grades K-3.
“I love that the
teachers are being
helped so much,” Oakes
added. “They have the
most important job
there is, so we need to
take care of them.”
To date, the N.C.
Education Lottery has
raised more than $2.2
billion for these
initiatives statewide.

MEASURE GOES TOO FAR
To The Editor:
There is a lot of misunderstanding out there about
Amendment 1, the amendment North Carolinians will
vote on May 8. For the sake of families across our
state, please vote against Amendment 1. This
amendment goes too far.
The proposed amendment states that marriage
between one man and one woman is the only domestic
legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this
state.
That’s a mouthful which goes well beyond the issue
of same-sex marriage. Even North Carolinians who
are against same sex relationships need to realize that
in this wording, a man and a woman who have chosen
to live together and have children together without
marriage will not be legally recognized in this state.
In addition to prohibiting same-sex marriage, as state
law already does, the Amendment would:
• Prohibit North Carolina from ever passing
legislation that would grant civil unions to any couple;
• Bar the state from instituting domestic
partnership rights to any unmarried couple;
• Strip the domestic partner insurance benefits
currently offered to employees by a number of local
governments, including Chapel Hill, Durham,
Greensboro, and Mecklenburg and Orange counties.
In addition, courts could interpret the language of
the Amendment to ban rights to the states hundreds
of thousands of unmarried couples, both same and
opposite-gender. This would:
• Invalidate domestic violence protections for all
unmarried partners;
• Undercut existing child custody and visitation
rights that are designed to protect the best interests
of children;
• Prevent the state from giving committed couples
rights to allow them to order their relationships,
including threatening their ability to determine the
disposition of their deceased partners remains; to
make medical decisions if their partner is
incapacitated; and to allow second-parent adoptions
in order to ensure that both partners have a legal tie
to, and financial responsibilities for, the children they
are raising.
• Invalidate trusts, wills, and end-of-life directives
by one partner in favor of the other.
If you disdain gay and lesbian persons, and don’t
care whether they and their families remain
permanently outside of the protection of our laws, such
a policy might be your cup of tea. That seems cold
and un-Christian to me. Let’s be honest, the real
agenda in this amendment is not protecting marriage
as its authors have claimed, but in marginalizing and
ostracizing gay people and stripping them of certain
basic human rights.
How many times have I heard, hate the sin, but
love the sinner. I do not believe that homosexuality is
a sin, but if you do, you can still make the right choice.
WWJD?
Please vote against Amendment One.

victories angered Adolf
Hitler who believed that
Africans-Americans were
inferior to other races.
Owens returned home as
a hero, but he continued
to struggle to make a
living because of racism.
As the world is preparing
for the 2012 Summer
Olympics, this film is a
reminder of how far we
have come — and how far
we still have to go — in
our perception of others.
One of the many great
features of Full Frame is
that each year there are
thematic programs, and
filmmaker Ross McElwee
curated this year’s
program entitled, “Family
Affairs.” I was impressed
by people’s willingness to
share personal, private,
and often painful details
about their families in
front of a camera. A
variety of secrets were
revealed as emotionally
wounded family members
confessed that all wasn’t
happy at home.

Death,” directed by
Morgan Dews, recalls the
filmmaker’s discovery of
documented information
about his grandparents’
troubled marriage. After
his grandmother’s death
in 2001, he found 300
pages of transcripts, 50
hours of audio, and 201
home movies. All of this
information opened the
doors to the life of a couple
who appeared happy in
front of others, despite
their private turmoil.
“In Search of Our
Fathers,” directed by
Marco Williams, focused
on the filmmaker’s
emotional search for his
estranged father who
didn’t want to be found. In
an era when many people
are searching for long-lost
parents, this film was
especially poignant.
“A Troublesome
Creek: A Midwestern,”
directed by Jeanne
Jordan and Steven
Ascher, showed a family
pulling together to avoid
foreclosure on a farm that
had been in their family
for 125 years. Foreclosure
on property is an issue
that many Americans are
facing today, and this film
raises the question: “How
far would you go to save
your property?”
The “New Docs”
program included 57
films — 39 features and
18 shorts — from 27
different countries, and
21 of those films were
from the United States.
One of the new docs was
a touching film about the
true love between Ruth
and Arne Conrad, who
were married for 67
years.
In “The Time We Have
(Den tid vi har),” directed
by Mira Jargil, Arne
endures his loss of
independence and the loss
of his wife. His grief was
documented in a sensitive
manner, reminding
viewers what it means to
truly love a mate.
The 2012 Full Frame
Tribute honored
filmmaker Stanley
Nelson, who has produced
and directed films about
the Civil Rights
Movement and other
issues which focus on
African-Americans.
“The Black Press:
Soldiers Without
Swords,” told the story of
African-Americans who
were publishers and
writers as far back as
1827 when the first black
newspaper, “Freedom
Journal,” was founded.
They managed to tell
their stories, despite
constant opposition.
There were so many
more wonderful films,
including the following:
”Ethel,” a behind-thescenes
story of Ethel
Kennedy and her life
before and after Robert’s
assassination; “The
Tsunami and the Cherry
Blossom,” a reminder of
Japan’s struggles,
survival, and continuous
recovery after the 2011
disaster; “The Invisible
War”, a hard look at the
seldom-discussed issue of
women who are raped in
the United States
military; “The Waiting
Room,” 24 hours in the
waiting room of an
Oakland Emergency
Room where all that is
wrong with America’s
healthcare system
becomes evident.
I enjoyed everything
about this film festival,
but what I enjoyed most
was the storytelling from
filmmakers and the
subjects of their films. We
all have a story to tell, and
I’m always amazed at
how one person’s story
can easily connect him or
her to someone else in
another city, state, or
country.
Those who watched
these films should have
learned some valuable
lessons, but I believe that
the most common lesson
was this: Regardless of
your race, age, economic
background, educational
background, religious
beliefs, moral values, and
level of intelligence,
someone else in the world
can relate to your
problem. We all cope with
the highs and lows of life
differently, but by
watching the films at this
film festival, a person can
be assured that he or she
is not alone.

N ORTH C AROLINA C OOPERATIVE E XTENSION
HOW IMPORTANT
ARE STATE COST-
OF-LIVING
DIFFERENCES?
Many people today are concerned about the cost of
iving, and with good reason. Certainly workers who
ave lost their jobs or had their hours cut back still
ave bills to pay, and now they must pay them with
ess income. But even folks who have kept their jobs
ee rising costs for gas and food, to name a few
xpenses, outpacing any gains they’ve made in wages
nd salaries.
But did you know the cost of living varies by where
ou live and in particular in which state you call home?
any factors are behind these interstate cost
ifferences, including the price of land and housing,
ccess to energy supplies, the cost of inputs and the
vailability of cultural, entertainment and leisure-time
menities.
Indeed, for decades researchers have been tracking
ariation in the cost of living in states. I just received
he latest numbers for 2011 from our friends at the
issouri Economic Research and Information Center,
ho compile and analyze the numbers. They provide
ome very interesting results.
First, the cost of living does vary significantly
etween states. Using the 2011 figures, the difference
n the cost of living between the highest cost (Hawaii)
nd lowest cost (Oklahoma) states is a whopping 86
ercent. That is, you would need 86 percent more
ncome to achieve the same standard of living in
awaii as you would in Oklahoma.
Of course, part of the reason it costs more to live in
awaii is that you can see the beautiful landscape and
cean and experience the comfortable weather on a
aily basis. In other words, when you buy or rent a
ome in Hawaii, you’re effectively purchasing access
o the weather and scenery.
Many may think Hawaii is a special case, so let’s
imit our cost-of-living comparisons to the continental
.S. The District of Columbia (D.C.) and Connecticut
ave the highest costs of living, and Oklahoma is still
he lowest. The spread between D.C. and Oklahoma
s 57 percent, and the difference between Connecticut
nd Oklahoma is 47 percent. These aren’t quite as big
s for Hawaii, but they’re still significant.
So where does North Carolina fall in these cost-ofiving
rankings? In 2011, North Carolina ranked as
he 21st least costly state. Twenty states had costs of
iving lower than North Carolina’s, while 30 states (and
.C.) had higher costs of living. Furthermore, North
arolina has maintained this ranking for several
ears.
Also, North Carolina’s cost of living is lower than
or two neighboring states — South Carolina and
lorida — but higher than for three other neighbors
Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia. However, the
pread in the cost of living for North Carolina, South
arolina, Florida, Georgia and Virginia is narrow.
orth Carolina’s cost of living is only 1 percent lower
han in Florida and South Carolina, and only 0.2
ercent higher than in Virginia and 3 percent higher
han in Georgia.
The big difference is with Tennessee, whose cost of
iving is 7 percent under that for North Carolina.
ennessee also has the second-lowest cost-of-living in
he country.
So why do all these numbers matter, except for
tates that might want bragging rights for the lowest
or highest) cost of living?
There are at least two important uses for the costf-living
indicators. Let’s say you’re a freshly graduated
ccountant, and you are considering taking a job either
n North Carolina or New York. In 2011, the cost of
iving in New York was 37 percent higher than the
ost of living in North Carolina. This means that just
o achieve the same standard of living the the salary
ffer from the job in New York would have to be more
han one-third higher than the prospective salary in
orth Carolina.
Or let’s say you’re interested in where North
arolina ranks in per person spending on a particular
overnment program. You find a publication that has
pending per person for every state. Because
ifferences in the cost of living between states makes
ollars in the states have different purchasing power,
he spending amounts should be adjusted first by the
ost-of-living factors before rankings are made.
The cost of living also varies within states,
ometimes by as much as 40 percent. Usually, living
osts are lower in more rural areas and higher in
enser urban regions. Preferences play a role in where
eople choose to live. Folks who like wide open spaces
ay choose rural locations, whereas individuals who
refer the energy, shopping and restaurants in cities
ay be willing to spend more for the access to these
menities.
Dollars aren’t always what they seem, both in time
nd space. We often recognize how the value of a dollar
ay change over time, but sometimes we forget the
alue can also be higher or lower depending on where
t is spent. I suggest you decide not to make that
istake.

Certified Public Accountants
IRS NOTICES: WHAT TO DO IF YOU
RECEIVE ONE
After you file your tax return, the last thing
that you want to see is a notice from the IRS
questioning your return. But if it happens to you,
here are a few things to keep in mind.
Don’t panic. Many of these notices ask only
for additional information to clarify the return that
was filed. You have likely received the notice
because something on the tax return doesn’t match
IRS records.
Review the notice. Don’t just assume that
the IRS is correct in what they propose in their
notice. Many of these notices are simply incorrect
for any number of reasons. Make sure that what
the IRS is asking for wasn’t reported on another
part of the return. And be sure that you protest
the notice if you believe it to be incorrect.
Respond timely. Don’t ignore the notice under
any circumstances. The IRS will generally deal
with you fairly as long as you respond to the notice
in a timely fashion. However, if you ignore the
notice, you can expect the IRS to become more
aggressive in future letters, even to the point where
they will institute collection actions. Most issues
can be handled through the mail, without the
frustration of a telephone call.
Maintain your records. Your records are your
ultimate defense against any type of adjustment
that the IRS might propose. Keep good records and
maintain them long after the return is filed in
order to prove your deductions to the IRS.
However, if you do find yourself in a jam with
the IRS, make sure to engage the services of a
qualified tax professional who can represent you
before the IRS in order to help you out with your
tax problems.

New Ways to Cash in on Your Life Insurance
Policy
Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about life settlements? I have
a life insurance policy that I really don’t need any
longer and I’ve heard that selling it can produce a nice
payout.
Interested In Selling
Dear Interested,
If you don’t need your life insurance policy any
longer, are having a difficult time keeping up with the
premium payments or could just use the money, a life
settlement is definitely an option worth considering.
How it Works
A life settlement is the sale of an existing life
insurance policy to a third party company for cash.
Life settlements are typically best suited for people
over age 65 who own a policy with a face value of
$250,000 or more.
Historically, if an owner of a life insurance policy
decided they no longer needed it, they would either
let the policy lapse or turn it in for a meager cash
surrender value. But now, with the life settlement
option, you can actually sell your policy for two to three
times more than the cash surrender value would be,
but less than its net death benefit.
Once you sell it however, the life settlement
company then becomes the new owner of the policy,
pays the future premiums and collects the death
benefit when you die.
How much money you can expect to get with a life
settlement will depend on your age, health and life
expectancy, the type of insurance policy, the premium
costs and the value of your policy. Most sellers
generally get 20 to 30 percent of the death benefit.
If you’re interested in a life settlement here are
some things you should know:
Shop around: To ensure you get the best deal, get
quotes from several brokers or life settlement
providers. Also, find out what fees you’ll be required
to pay. To locate credible providers or brokers, the Life
Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) provides a
referral service at lisa.org.
Tax implications: Life settlements are also taxable
if the cash surrender value of the policy exceeds the
premiums paid on it. This can be very complicated, so
be sure to consult a tax advisor. Also, be aware that
receiving money from a life settlement can affect
eligibility for public assistance programs like Medicaid
or food stamps.
Be cautious: Life settlements are not regulated in
every state so be careful who you deal with. Make sure
the broker or life settlement firm you choose is either
licensed in your state or is a member of LISA.
Other Options
If you don’t like the idea of selling your life
insurance policy but could use some extra cash, here
are some other options your insurance agent can help
you investigate:
•Cash value withdraw: If you have any cash value
in your policy, you can probably withdraw some of it
to meet your immediate needs and keep your policy
for your beneficiaries.
• A loan: You may also be able to use your policy to
secure a loan from the insurance company, as well as
a bank, credit union or other lender.
• Annuity "1035" conversion: Find out if you’re able
to convert the cash value of your policy into an
immediate annuity, which will make regular payments
to you for a set number of years or for the rest of your
life.
• Accelerated benefit: If you’re terminally ill, some
policies have an accelerated death benefit which pays
some of the policy’s death benefit before you die.
• Reduced premiums: If premium payments are
your problem, your life insurer may be able to convert
your policy to a paid-up policy, or lower your death
benefit amount in order to reduce your premiums. Or,
consider asking your beneficiaries to help pay the
premiums.

Earth Day Lessons Can Apply To Investors, Too
April 22 is Earth Day. As a citizen, you may want
to mark this occasion by participating in local events.
But as an investor, you can learn a lot from the lessons
of Earth Day.
For example, some people plant trees on Earth Day.
As an investor, you, too, can plant “seeds” today in the
hopes of growth in the future. So, when you purchase
growth-oriented investments for the long term, try to
stick with them.
Earth Day also teaches us to develop good habits,
such as recycling computer parts and using energyefficient
light bulbs. When you invest, it’s important
to follow good habits, such as staying invested in all
types of markets and reviewing your portfolio regularly
to make sure it’s still appropriate for your needs.
When you apply Earth Day lessons to your own
investment environment, you may be able to achieve
some healthy results.

attorney, who is also
producing the play.
Owens is the Vice-
President of Granville
Little Theatre, and
DuRant holds the position
of GLT Treasurer.
The setting of the play
is the living room of the
Ruttles home, where one
of the main characters
meets with a crisis. The
rest of the play is a
hilarious account of the
fallout of that life-altering
event, culminating in the
surprising climax of the
play at the Parsons
Funeral Home during the
service for the never-seen
family patriarch, Cyrus
Ruttles. Anyone who
needs comedy relief from
the stress of the work
week should certainly
attend this play!

characters are played by
Jessie Kadolph (Peggy

(Harvey Ruttles, Peggy’s
husband) and Whitney
Wicker (Darlene Gibson,
Peggy’s sister). Ironically,
this is the second play in
which Kadolph and
Pearce have played a
married couple, though
their personalities in this
play are quite different
from their last roles!

South Branch Library
Events Includes In NC
Science Festival
The South Branch
Library, in Butner, is to be
included in programming
for the North Carolina
Science Festival, April 13
- 29, 2012.
The festival is a multiday
celebration of science
and technology
highlighting the beneficial
impact of science in our
state. This is the first year
that the Granville County
Library System has had
events that qualified for
the festival.
Programs at South
Branch that are included
as part of the festival are
scheduled for Wednesday,
April 18, and Wednesday,
April 25. The April 18
program is entitled The
Science of Optical
Illusions.
This program,
designed for school age
children, explores well
known magic tricks such
as the disappearing penny
and Chris Angel’s trick of
pulling a string through
your neck. Hands on
activities include making
Benham Tops and a
dragon whose eyes follow
you around the room.
On April 25th,
preschool scientists are
invited to explore Pancake
Science. This program will
investigate what makes
pancakes fluffy and
various stations will allow
participants to experience
vinegar explosions, liquid
movement, quicksand goo
and, of course, eat some
delicious pancakes.
Both programs are
scheduled for 7:00 to 7:45
p.m. and are free and open
to the public.
Preregistration is
required in order to assure
enough supplies so that all
the young scientists get a
chance to explore.
For more information
about the North Carolina
Science Festival, check out
the
website
www.ncscience
festival.org.

South Branch program,
