Mayor Darryl Moss 

said Wednesday that 

building a stand alone 

Melissa Hodges, The Planning Director for the Town of Butner has reported that a building permit has been issued for a 

SLEEPYS Mattress Distribution Center to occupy the 150,800 square foot building on Central Avenue extension in Butner 

near the interstate I-85 interchange. The building was constructed in the Fall of 2008 as a part of the Falls lake Commerce 

Center as a project of the Colliers and Pinkard Company. The mattress ditribution center will be the first tenant to occupy 

the building. Hodges also said that building permits had been issued to build two more buildings at the site which when 

built out is scheduled to be a four million square foot development. The building which has been completed features tilt 

wall concrete construction and 30 foot clear heights. 

Granville Crop Results Mixed 

According to Granville 

County Extension 

Director Paul Westfall, 

the quality of the 

Granville County tobacco 

crop is all over the board. 

Some is early and doing 

well, some is later and 

suffering more. 

The crop that is being 

irrigated is coming on 

normally. 

“The most damage to 

tobacco has been from the 

sun, not the dry weather. 

The leaves are getting 

bleached and dried out,” 

Westfall said. “We will 

likely have tobacco being 

harvested early, have a 

break in harvest, with 

some being harvested 

later, with some fields 

risking frost in late fall.” 

Corn has been hit the 

hardest by the dry 

weather. Late planted 

corn did not get off to a 

very good start, with some 

late planted fields 

suffering 100% loss. Corn 

planted earlier in the 

season before soil 

moisture levels went to 

zero grew well, got 12 feet 

tall, and have nice long 

ears. The problem is that 

those ears don’t have 

many kernels filled, and 

that’s where the energy is 

for the corn plant. 

Dairymen are harvesting 

corn silage now that will 

likely be low in energy. 

That will mean an increase 

in the amount of 

concentrate needed in rations. 

Cotton is still looking 

OK, the Executive 

Director reported with 

many fields looking better 

this year than they did 

last year at this time. 

Again, some fields will be 

early and some late due to 

when they were planted. 

Many cotton fields are 

blooming and setting bolls 

not. 

Soybeans are all over 

the board. Fields planted 

early are doing better 

than the fields planted 

after wheat harvest when 

the dry weather really

started taking a toll. 

Some fields are blooming, 

but soybeans won’t be 

setting and filling pods for 

another few weeks, so it’s 

still too early to estimate 

any damages on soybeans. 

Grain sorghum is still 

doing OK. This crop can 

tolerate more dry weather 

during the season than 

corn, which is why some 

farmers prefer to grow 

grain sorghum. However, 

when this crop tries to fill 

the seed head, it will need 

adequate moisture like all 

the other crops. It is still 

too early to tell anything 

about yield potential on 

grain sorghum.

FAT HARRY’S 

Cooking Column 

by Harry Coleman 

Feeling unappreciated? The next time you feel that 

nobody loves you, no one cares, or that no one ever 

notices you, think of these people. 

In a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, patients 

always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at 

about 11:00 am, regardless of their medical condition. 

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it 

had something to do with the supernatural. No one 

could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred 

around 11:00 a. m. Sunday, so a worldwide team of 

experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the 

incidents. The next Sunday morning, a few minutes 

before 11:00 a. m. all of the doctors and nurses 

nervously waited outside the ward to see for 

themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all 

about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer 

books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil 

spirits. Just when the clock struck 11:00, Pookie 

Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the 

ward and unplugged the life support system so he 

could use the vacuum cleaner. 

*********************** 

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the 

Exxon Valdez Oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a 

special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved 

animals were being released back into the wild amid 

cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, 

in full view, a Killer Whale ate them both. 

*********************** 

A woman came home to find her husband in the 

kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing 

frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist 

towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away 

from the deadly current, she whacked him with a 

handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. 

Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to 

his Walkman. 

*********************** 

Two animal rights defenders were protesting the 

cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, 

Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose 

and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding 

madly. The two helpless protesters were trampled to 

death. 

*********************** 

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn’t pay enough 

postage on a letter bomb. It came back with ‘Return 

to Sender’ stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, 

he opened it and was blown to bits.

SOAP OPERA REVIEW 

BOLD AND 

BEAUTIFUL 

Hope caught Liam off 

guard with her 

declaration that if they 

are going to be married 

for good, she wants a 

wedding day do-over to 

erase the memories of 

their first attempt. Rick 

backed Hope’s decision to 

move out of Liam’s home 

and discouraged his 

sister from giving Liam a 

second chance. When 

Steffy found out Hope’s 

plans, she warned 

Brooke that it could 

result in Hope losing 

Liam forever, especially 

since Steffy is focused on 

showing Liam that she is 

the right person for him. 

Liam begged Hope for 

forgiveness and 

impatiently waited for 

her to decide if she’ll take 

him back. Marcus and 

Dayzee basked in their 

love as they recalled the 

complicated path that 

brought them together. 

BUNHEADS 

Fanny surprised 

Michelle by inviting her 

on a road trip to see a 

play in Los Angeles. 

Michelle was taken 

aback by the news that 

Fanny has a longdistance 

boyfriend. 

Conor, the director of the 

play, made an impression 

on Michelle. Sasha’s 

rebellious behavior began 

to adversely affect the 

unity of Fanny’s class, 

prompting Fanny to hand 

Boo a much desired role 

in an upcoming 

performance. One of the 

students danced with a 

boy named Jordan, an 

event that could have a 

major effect on her life. 

DALLAS 

On the final episode 

of “Dallas’” first season, 

the Ewings looked past 

their differences and 

banded together when a 

loved one faced a medical 

crisis. Christopher and 

Elena started to learn 

that not everyone is who 

they appear to be, and 

that even the people 

closest to them have 

another side they don’t 

know about. Ann was 

shown to be guarding 

something from her past 

that could carry big 

implications for the 

future. The revelation of 

long-buried secrets 

created an explosive 

situation within the 

Ewing clan. 

DAYS OF OUR 

LIVES 

“Days of our Lives” 

returns next week. 

GENERAL HOSPITAL: 

John was arrested after 

he attacked Todd as Sam 

witnessed the entire 

event. When Carly 

learned that Todd used 

Heather’s photo of Sam 

and John’s kiss to destroy 

McBain’s relationship 

with Natalie, she 

managed to persuade 

Todd to end his quest for 

vengeance, and he 

dropped the charges. 

Meanwhile, the same 

photo led Jason and Sam 

to a frank discussion 

about the state of their 

marriage. Lulu firmly 

denied that she’s 

pregnant when Maxie 

saw her throwing up, but 

she later took a 

pregnancy test. When 

Sonny questioned Trey 

about his intentions 

toward Kristina, Trey 

stated that he cares for 

her. However, Joe Jr. 

ordered Trey to step up 

his efforts to marry 

Sonny’s daughter. 

Unaware of Trey’s deceit, 

Sonny prepared to 

propose to Kate. 

THE L.A. COMPLEX 

Fearing for his 

future, Kaldrick 

reconnected with his past 

by paying a visit to his 

father. Connor was forced 

to make a difficult choice. 

Raquel suffered a blow to 

her ego on the set of the 

TV show. Abby reached 

out a hand in friendship to 

her co-star on “Saving 

Grace.” Nick grew tired of 

Sabrina’s never-ending 

cruel pranks and thought 

the way to get even would 

be to beat her at her own 

game. On a day that 

Simon had to face several 

big auditions, Beth’s big 

mouth landed her in 

trouble. 

PRETTY LITTLE 

LIARS 

Attempting to save 

her college career, 

Spencer, accompanied by 

Aria, found herself at the 

Kahn brothers’ bash, only 

to face a very different 

type of party game. What 

originally was supposed to 

have been a quick visit to 

ask a favor of CeCe’s 

friend turned into a 

showdown between the 

girls and Jenna during a 

game of “Truth.” Spencer 

and Aria were forced to 

reveal some of their own 

deeply held truths to get 

the answers they need 

from their adversary. 

Hanna became even more 

upset when she got 

another text from “A” 

about Caleb. 

SECRET LIFE OF 

THE AMERICAN 

TEENAGER 

Ricky’s new 

experiences at college - 

discovering new 

challenges, seeing old 

friends and making new 

ones, and expanding the 

scope of his life - 

heightened Amy’s 

insecurity and jealousy to 

the extent that their 

relationship became 

increasingly rocky. The 

couple’s problems 

threatened to undo their 

families’ plans for a big 

wedding party, complete 

with “vow renewal.” Ben 

and Dylan’s unceasing 

interest in being with each 

other promised nothing 

but trouble. Ben and 

Alice’s secret left Henry 

the odd man out. 

THE VAMPIRE 

DIARIES 

In a rebroadcast, a 

hundred years after they 

first met, Damon and Sage 

were reunited at the 

restoration ceremony for 

the Wickery Bridge. 

Damon made use of Sage’s 

idea to help him figure out 

Rebekah’s motives. 

Despite Bonnie and 

Caroline’s help, Abby had 

a hard time dealing with 

her new existence as a 

vampire. Learning of 

Stefan’s latest struggles 

from Damon, Elena 

reached out to help, 

hoping it would bring 

Stefan closer to his 

humanity. Damon 

discovered a new secret 

weapon against Klaus and 

shared the news with his 

brother. 

YOUNG AND 

RESTLESS 

When a drunken 

Sharon was ready to get 

behind the wheel in order 

to find Victor, convinced 

her new husband is with 

Nikki, Tucker was forced 

to drive. Sharon burst into 

Nikki and Jack’s 

celebration and caused a 

ruckus, ending with Nikki 

pushing her into the pool. 

However, Nikki later 

offered to help find the 

missing Victor for a hungover 

Sharon. Refusing to 

sleep with Tim in return 

for the incriminating tape, 

Phyllis instead managed 

to draw money from 

Summer’s trust to pay off 

Tim’s hefty financial 

demands. Eden became 

terrified by Ricky while 

under hypnosis. After 

Eden became so 

overwrought that the 

treatment had to be 

stopped, Chris was 

concerned that Eden’s 

memories might not be 

enough to help Paul. 

Coming: Paul could end 

up paying a steep price.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope 

August 2, 2012 - August 8, 2012 

by Lasha Seniuk 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19): Be an equal 

opportunity friend. 

Make an effort to be 

friendly to everyone in 

the week ahead. The 

people least deserving of 

your hand in friendship 

may need it the most and 

repay your kindness. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20): Enjoy powerful 

new contacts in the week 

ahead. You could be 

passionate about getting 

what you want in areas 

that have to do with 

career, finance or 

business - and even love. 

Spread the joy around. 

GEMINI (May 21- 

June 20): Expect the 

unexpected. In the 

upcoming week, your 

tastes might stray 

toward the new and 

unusual, or you might 

feel an urge to invest in 

antiques or update your 

computer with the latest 

gadgets. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22): You are not 

defeated when you lose, 

but you are defeated 

when you quit. In the 

week to come, you will 

receive plenty of 

encouragement. You can 

tap into staying power to 

see a project through to 

completion. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 

22): Make powerful 

connections in the 

upcoming week. It seems 

your popularity 

increases when your 

passion is sparked by 

meeting new and 

original personalities. 

You are revitalized by 

New Age ideas and isms. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23- 

Sept. 22): Knowledge is 

power. If all you know 

how to do is row a boat, 

you won’t have a clue 

about what to do when 

the river runs dry. Learn 

as much as you can in 

the week ahead to be 

prepared for the future. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

22.): You are torn two 

ways. In the week ahead, 

you feel eager to 

impulsively experiment 

and may take on

something out of the 

ordinary. At the same 

time, however, your 

natural reserve may 

prevent you from going 

wild. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- 

Nov. 21): You have a 

passion for much more 

than fashion. Love and 

romance and the 

enjoyment of shared 

intimacies might be key 

elements for you this 

week. Give love a chance. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

22-Dec. 21): Your heart 

might unwittingly take a 

walk on the wild side in 

the week ahead. When 

there are interesting 

things to see and do - as 

well as people to meet - it 

is difficult to get quite 

enough sleep. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19): Chop down 

problems one weed at a 

time. Your talent for 

organization can be 

applied to your 

relationships, as well. 

This week, your attention 

is riveted on making 

relationships perfectly 

divine. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 18): The more, the 

merrier. Since you are 

respectful toward others,

THE BUTNER-CREEMOOR NEWS 

EDITORIAL PAGE 

THURSDAY 


The Town of Butner is 

urrently working on a 

orthwhile project to 

ncourage the state of 

orth Carolina to turn 

ver the site for the 

ormer Umstead 

orrectional Center to the 

own of Butner. 

The site which is 

ocated in the middle of a 

esidential community in 

utner was never an ideal 

lace for a low security 

orrectional institution. 

It had previously 

erved as the North 

arolina Center for the 

lind. 

The NC Department 

f Corrections has 

ndicated that because of 

he expansion required to 

pgrade the facility for 

heir use they have little 

nterest in taking on the 

emodeling of the site for 

correctional facility and 

hey have little current 

nterest in pursuing 

eeping the location. 

What the site does 

eature is a gym and 

ining space and parking 

ot which could be a real 

sset for the Butner 

ommunity. 

Such things as 

dditional gym space for 

he South Granville 

thletic Association and 

ossibly a separate site 

for a senior center for 

Butner are worthwhile 

goals that the space could 

be used for. 

Unfortunately time is 

of the essence because 

since representative Jim 

Crawford was not reelected 

his influence with 

the NC House of 

representatives as 

Appropriations Co-Chair 

and his knowledge of the 

legislative process will end 

at the end of his term of 

office. 

Crawford is aware of 

the proposal of the 

location and has indicated 

a willingness to help make 

it a reality. 

Recently Representative 

Crawford 

scheduled a meeting with 

the NC Rural Center to 

visit the Town of Butner 

and tour the Umstead 

Correctional Gymnasium 

to see if the renovation of 

this facility would fit into 

any of their grant 

categories. If eligible, the 

Rural Center may provide 

funding to install a new 

HVAC system, roof repairs, 

etc. 

The wheels of state 

government move slowly. 

So if this opportunity is 

not to be lost everyone will 

have to move quickly. 

Harry Coleman 

Last week, the two 

major party candidates 

for governor made 

Satements indicating 

that they would have no 

interest pursuing the 

construction of a new, 

deepwater port in 

Brunswick County. 

Lt. Gov. Walter 

Dalton, the Democratic 

nominee for governor, 

noted that the project has 

neither the support of the 

state's congressional 

delegation nor the North 

Carolina General 

Assembly. 

He pointed out that 

building a new port 

would cost $5 billion to $6 

billion, and that state 

resources would be better 

spent improving and 

expanding the existing 

ports at Morehead City 

and Wilmington 

The campaign of 

Republican Pat McCrory, 

the former mayor of 

Charlotte, said that 

McCrory had long 

believed that the market 

wouldn't support a new 

deepwater port. 

The McCrory camp 

went on to point out that 

Dalton had supported 

feasibility studies of the 

MCCRORY, DALTON 

DISMISS DEEPWATER PORT 

project 

a n d 

t h a t 

the feasibility 

of the 

project 

should 

have 

been 

c o n - 

sidered 

before 

Democratic 

administrations 

bought $30 million in land 

along the Cape Fear 

River. 

McCrory is right on a 

couple counts: The land 

purchase, which occurred 

during the administration 

of Gov. Mike Easley, never 

should have been 

undertaken without more 

careful consideration; a 

deepwater port in North 

Carolina always would 

have struggled to catch up 

with ports in Norfolk and 

Charleston. 

It's no coincidence 

that both gubernatorial 

candidates weighed in on 

the issue when they did. 

Their comments came 

as the Obama administration 

announced 

that it would speed up

what the administration 

might have done if the 

president didn't love overregulating 

commerce. 

Maybe call in David 

Copperfield and have him 

magically make the river 

bottom five feet deeper?) 

What the announcement 

makes clear is that 

it was even more unlikely 

that a deepwater port in 

Brunswick County would 

ever be able to Compete 

with that of our southern 

neighbor. 

As I've pointed out 

before, to make a 

Brunswick County deepwater 

port competitive

the port. It also would 

have required that

THE RALEIGH REPORT 

T he governor 

continues to gradually 

sign new bills into law as 

her Aug. 2 deadline for 

action approaches. This 

week she signed three 

more bills into law and 

only a handful remain for 

her consideration. 

The governor must 

sign the remaining bills, 

allow them to become law 

without her signature or 

veto them. If she vetoes 

any bills, the General 

Assembly could come 

back to Raleigh to 

consider whether to 

override them. 

Thank you for your 

interest in the legislature 

and state government, 

and please let me know 

if I can be of assistance 

in some way. 

New Laws 

_ Gov. Perdue has 

signed into law a 

measure to allow 

members of the military 

and their spouses to 

receive occupational 

licenses in North 

Carolina if they have 

been permitted by the 

military or in another 

jurisdiction. The applicants 

would have to meet 

requirements that are 

substantially equivalent 

to or exceed North 

Carolina’s 

requirements 

for licensure. 

Each 

occupational 

licensing 

board is 

required to 

implement 

the new 

statute 

within one 

year. (House Bill 799) 

_ High school students 

must complete a 

cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation (CPR) 

training course to 

graduate beginning with 

the graduating class of 

2015. CPR training has 

technically been required 

for high school graduation 

since 1997, but the 

requirement has never 

been enforced. North 

Carolina is now one of five 

states with such a 

requirement. (House Bill 

837) 

_ The state will now 

place defibrillators in all 

buildings and facilities 

that house state services 

or agencies. The 

American Heart 

Association reports that 

23 percent of all deaths in 

North Carolina are 

attributed to heart 

disease and that as many

Crawford 

as 40,000 

d e a t h s 

nationwide 

can be 

prevented 

through the 

use of defibrillators. 

The new law 

(House Bill 

914) also 

calls for the 

formation of a task force 

to identify, pursue, and 

win public and private 

funding to pay for the 

defibrillators and 

employee training. 

Tax-free weekend 

The state’s annual sales 

tax holiday will run from 

Aug. 3-5. In an effort to 

better help consumers 

afford back-to-school 

items for their children, 

shoppers on this weekend 

will not have to pay the 

sales tax on clothing, 

school supplies and 

computers. The sales tax 

holiday was created by 

the General Assembly in 

2001 and went into effect 

on January 1, 2002. 

During the sales tax 

holiday, consumers will 

not pay sales tax on 

clothing, footwear, and 

school supplies of $100 or 

less per item; school 

instructional materials of 

$300 or less per item; 

sports and recreation 

equipment of $50 or less 

per item, computers of 

$3,500 or less per item; 

and computer supplies of 

$250 or less per item. For

Resignation 

Stephen LaRoque, the cochairman 

of the House 

Rules committee, has 

resigned after being 

indicted on eight federal 

charges involving the 

alleged misuse and 

possible theft of money 

from a federally funded 

nonprofit agency he 

operates. Rep. LaRoque, a 

Republican, was serving 

his third term in the 

House of Representatives 

representing Greene, 

Lenoir and Wayne 

counties. He was appointed 

Rules chairman 

by the Speaker of the 

House in early 2011.

moved to Orlando, Fla. when he was a young boy and 

attended First Baptist Church of Orlando. This was the 

same church Dane received Christ in the third grade, met 

Thea in junior high, and was commissioned to Peru as a 

journeyman. Dane and his mom trusted Christ together at

of baptism two months later. Dane graduated from Florida 

State University with a degree in Religion. In 1996 God 

called him. Dane recommitted his life to Christ and after 

graduation went to Peru with the IMB for three years. After

Sales Tax Holiday 

This year’s Sales Tax 

Holiday, scheduled for 

August 3-5, marks the 10th 

year that the NC General 

Assembly has opted to set 

aside one weekend free of 

sales tax on back-to-school 

related items. 

But there is no 

guarantee that there will 

be one in 2013 or the year 

after that. As North 

Carolina continues to 

struggle to balance the 

state’s budget, many 

program are on the 

chopping block and the 

Sales Tax Holiday could 

very well be one of them. 

NCRMA is staying in 

close touch with legislative 

leadership as this 

discussion unfolds to 

educate legislators on the 

popularity of the Sales Tax 

Holiday with their 

constituents as it provides 

a small tax break to 

consumer as they make 

necessary purchases for 

school or college.

on the Sales Tax Holiday,

Senior Center Beautification Project Completed 


ecently completed some 

esthetic improvements 

t the City’s Gymnasium 

Activity Center and the 

outh Granville Senior 

enter. City staff were 

ontacted by patron 

hirley Watson, who 

nquired about the City’s 

illingness to add new 

lowers in the flower 

garden at the Senior 

Center. 

Over the past few 

years, City leaders and 

staff have been gradually 

making beautification 

improvements to City 

properties, such as the 

Lake Rogers Park 

Rejuvenation Project, the 

Facelift for the 

Creedmoor Gymnasium 

& Activity Center, and 

the Mains Street 

Beautification Project 

that included new 

planters, seasonal 

flowers, and new 

coordinating benches 

and trash receptacles. 

City staff visited the 

site to assess the needs 

and began coordinating 

with the Senior Center 

on the project. The City’s 

Public Works 

Department worked 

hard to remove the 

existing shrubbery, 

prepare the site, and 

replant the new Knock- 

Out rose bushes and 

hardy Liriopi which is 

sometimes referred to by 

the nickname monkey 

grass or spider grass. 

Scottie Wilkins, who 

works for the City and 

handles many of the 

beautification projects, 

ordered new benches and 

matching trash 

receptacles for the site. 

Kizer Blackburn also 

volunteered to help by 

planting all the border 

plants in front of the 

buildings to complete the 

project. 

The City also wishes 

to thank Paul Kelley and 

Kay Pipkin of Southern 

States in Creedmoor for 

their contribution on the 

project. The collaboration 

between the City of 

Creedmoor, Cheryl 

Carrier with the South 

Granville Senior Center, 

Creedmoor’s Public 

Works Department, and 

volunteers made this 

project a success. 

Last week, Scottie 

Wilkins met with Ms. 

Shirley Watson and other 

appreciative patrons at 

the S.G. Senior Center to 

capture the new look with 

pictures. With the 

addition of new 

landscaping and benches, 

patrons of the center have 

a new place for sitting 

outdoors and a new 

landscape to enjoy when 

they visit the facility.

MYRTLE NEWBY 

CONNELL 

Myrtle Newby 

Connell, age 86, died 

Wednesday, July 25, 2012 

at Granville Medical 

Center. She was a native 

of Granville County, the 

daughter of the late 

Charlie Newby and Sallie 

Faucette Connell and the 

widow of John Nelson 

Connell. Myrtle was of 

the Methodist faith and 

was retired from N.C. 

State University, where 

she worked as an 

accountant. She worked 

for Yancey Chevrolet in 

Oxford before moving to 

Raleigh. 

Funeral services were 

conducted on Saturday, 

July 28, 2012 at 2:00 PM 

from Gentry-Newell & 

Vaughan Funeral Home 

by Reverend John Yount. 

Burial followed at 

Meadowview Memorial 

Park in Oxford. The 

family received friends 

from 1:00 until 2:00 PM 

prior to the service at the 

funeral home 

Surviving are several 

nieces and nephews. She 

was preceded in death by 

Sallie Faucette, Jennie 

Bell Faucette, Lizzie 

Leigh Cole, Charlie 

Newby, William Newby, 

Jimmy Newby. 

Gentry-Newell & 

Vaughan Funeral Home 

assisted the Connell 

family. For online 

condolences, go to "http:// 

www. hallwynne.com" 

and select obituaries. 

S.C., will be retired Oct. 

1, 2012. Both will remain 

online through the 

summer season to help 

meet heightened 

electricity demand. 

“These plants, and 

especially the men and 

women who have operated 

and maintained 

them, have played a vital 

role in meeting customer 

energy needs reliably 

and affordably for 

decades,” said Jeff Lyash, 

executive vice president 

of Energy Supply for 

Duke Energy. “As we continue 

modernizing our 

generation system, we 

salute those who have 

been instrumental in 

fueling our region’s 

economic growth so 

dependably.” 

The Cape Fear Plant 

is the utility’s first coalfired 

facility and was 

scheduled to retire June 

2013 as part of the 

company’s fleetmodernization 

plan, 

announced in 2009. 

Three oil-fired 

combustion turbines will 

continue to operate at the 

site after the coal plant’s 

retirement. 

The Robinson coal 

plant in South Carolina 

began operation in 1960 

and is located on the 

same site as the 724-MW 

Robinson nuclear plant. 

The decision to take the 

52-year-old Robinson coal 

plant offline was made 

due to pending changes 

in environmental 

regulations and other 

rising costs for smaller, 

older technology plants. 

The cost of adding stateof-the-art 

emission controls 

on the small unit 

would be hundreds of 

millions of dollars. And 

the potential for 

additional emission 

regulations in the future 

would increase operating 

costs even further. 

Other factors leading 

to the decision to retire 

the Cape Fear Plant and 

Robinson Unit 1 in 

October 2012 include the 

anticipated early 2013 

commercial operation of 

new natu-ral gas-fired 

genera-tion at the H.F. 

Lee Plant near 

Goldsboro, N. C., 

continued low naturalgas 

prices and the 

success of the newly 

merged company’s jointdispatch 

process that 

utilizes generation across 

both Duke Energy 

Carolinas and Progress 

Energy Carolinas to more 

efficiently meet customer 

needs. 

Currently, Duke 

Energy Carolinas and 

Progress Energy 

Carolinas are moving 

about 1,000 MWs between 

them through the 

joint-dispatch agreement 

related to the July 2012 

merger of Duke Energy 

and Progress Energy. 

Each megawatt-hour that 

flows between these 

systems represents 

savings for the company’s 

customers and 

progress toward meeting 

the company’s $650 

million merger-related 

savings commitment. 

The Robinson coal 

plant retirement does not 

affect the Robinson 

nuclear plant, which is 

licensed for continued 

operation through 2030. 

Nor does it affect the 

company’s other major 

generation in South 

Carolina, the 790-MW 

Darlington County Plant, 

which is located near the 

Robinson plant and 

includes 13 combustionturbine 

units fueled by 

natural gas and oil. 

Fleet Modernization Plan 

On Oct. 1, 2011, the 

company retired the coalfired 

W.H. Weatherspoon 

Power Plant near 

Lumberton, N. C., the 

first retirement under the 

fleet-modernization plan. 

Other plants slated for 

retirement include the 

H.F. Lee Plant near 

Goldsboro, N. C., in 

September 2012 and the 

L.V. Sutton Plant near 

Wilmington, N.C., in late 

2013. Including the 

Robinson and Cape Fear 

plants, the re-tirements 

represent more than 

1,600 MW, or 

approximately one-third 

of Progress Energy 

Carolinas’ coalgenerating 

fleet. 


Carolinas has two projects 

under way to replace 

the retiring coalfueled 

generating capacity 

with plants fueled 

by natural gas. A new 

920-MW natural gasfueled

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY 

Cozart & Edwards, PA 

Certified Public Accountants 

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS HEALTH CARE LAW 

In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court 

generally upheld the constitutionality of the 

controversial 2010 health care law. In addition to 

preserving mandates for health insurance coverage, 

certain tax provisions will take effect as scheduled in 

2013, barring any subsequent legislation. Here’s a 

summary of the main tax changes for 2013. 

Medicare surtaxes: The health care law includes 

the following two Medicare surtaxes that could affect 

individual taxpayers: 

A 3.8% surtax on the lesser of annual net 

investment income or the amount by which modified 

adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $200,000 

($250,000 for married couples). “Net investment 

income” includes interest, dividends, royalties, rents, 

gains from dispositions of property and income from 

passive activities, but not tax-free interest or 

distributions from qualified retirement plans and 

IRAs. 

A 0.9% surtax on earned income (e.g., wages) 

exceeding $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples). 

Flexible spending accounts: Currently, there’s 

a $5,000 limit on pre-tax contributions to a flexible 

spending account (FSA) used for dependent care 

expenses, but there’s no such limit on health care 

FSAs. The law caps health care FSA contributions at 

$2,500 starting in 2013. 

Medical deductions: For 2012, you may deduct 

unreimbursed medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of 

your adjusted gross income (AGI). The law raises this 

AGI floor in 2013 to 10% for taxpayers under age 65. 

Other tax-related provisions in the law were also 

upheld by the Supreme Court. For instance, an 

individual will generally have to obtain “minimum 

essential health insurance coverage” or pay a 

nondeductible penalty, beginning in 2014. Another 

provision, which took effect in 2010, allows a qualified 

small business to claim a tax credit for part or all of 

the cost of providing health insurance. 

This remains a complex area of the tax law. Contact 

us regarding your personal circumstances and the 

effect the Supreme Court ruling could have on your 

taxes.

Savvy 

Senior 

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer 

Understanding Reverse Mortgages 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

Where can I get reliable, unbiased information on 

reverse mortgages? My wife and I are thinking about 

getting one but want to do some research first. 

Need Money 

Dear Need, 

For seniors that are house rich but cash poor, a 

reverse mortgage is a viable option, but there’s a lot to 

know and consider to be sure it’s a good choice for you. 

Here are some tips and tools to help you research this 

complex financial product. 

Let’s start with a quick review. A reverse mortgage 

is a loan that lets older homeowners convert part of 

the equity in their home into cash that doesn’t have to 

be paid back as long as they live there. 

To be eligible you must be age 62 or older, own your 

home (or owe only a small balance) and currently be 

living there. 

You can receive the cash either as a lump sum, a 

line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination 

of these. And with a reverse mortgage, you, not the 

bank, own the house, so you’re still responsible for 

property taxes, insurance and repairs. 

Currently, 99 percent of all reverse mortgages 

offered today are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages 

(HECM), which are backed by the Federal Housing 

Administration. 

Repayment is due when you or the last borrower 

dies, sells the place or lives elsewhere for 12 months. 

Then you or your heirs will have to pay off the loan 

(which includes the money you borrowed plus accrued 

interest and fees) either with the proceeds from selling 

the place, or if you want to keep the house, with money 

from another source. 

Educational Resources 

To get a better handle on reverse mortgages and 

how they work, there are several excellent resources 

you can turn to for reliable information, but you’re 

going to need access to the Internet utilize them. 

To get started, the National Council on Aging 

recently created a free new website called the Home 

Equity Advisor that’s designed to help you think 

through the best way to leverage your home – a reverse 

mortgage isn’t your only option. 

Just go to homeequityadvisor.org and click on their 

"Quick Check" tool which will ask you a series of 

questions about your personal and household situation 

to define exactly what you might need or want. Then, 

based on your answers, you’ll receive an individualized 

report offering information, tools, and consumer advice 

on a range of possible solutions that includes reverse 

mortgages and other alternatives. 

If you find that you are a good candidate for a 

reverse mortgage, your next stop is at 

reversemortgage.org, a new consumer website created 

by the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders 

Association. 

This site offers lots of educational information 

including "Your Road Map" which will help guide you 

through all the features of reverse mortgages and the 

process of obtaining one. 

It also has a calculator to estimate how much you’d 

be eligible to receive from a reverse mortgage, and 

offers has a comprehensive directory of licensed HUDapproved 

mortgage lenders, banks, and credit unions 

that offer reverse mortgage loans in your state. 

Get Counseling 

Another important resource to help you understand 

the pros and cons of a reverse mortgage and how it 

would work in your particular situation is through 

counseling. 

In fact, because reverse mortgages are such 

complicated products, the federal government requires 

that all reverse mortgage borrowers receive counseling 

through a HUD approved independent counseling 

agency before they take out a HECM loan. 

Counseling can be done in person or over the phone 

and some agencies today provide it for free or at a 

minimal fee. Some locations charge around $125. To 

locate counseling agencies in your area, visit hud.gov/ 

offices/hsg/sfh/hecm/hecmhome.cfm or call 800-569- 

4287.

EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT FIRM 

Financial Tips For Newly Single Women 

Here’s something to think about: The average 

woman’s family income drops by 37% after divorce, 

according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So, if you’re a 

newly single woman, you may want to consider these 

steps: 

First, get help from a financial advisor to clarify 

your spending needs, cash flow and investment 

strategy. You might also consider working with a trust 

company, which can help you manage your finances 

in several ways. 

Next, contribute as much as you can afford to your 

401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. 

At a minimum, put in enough to earn your employer’s 

match, if one is offered. 

Also, try to put aside several months; worth of 

living expenses in a liquid account. This emergency 

fund can help you avoid dipping into long-term 

investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as an 

expensive car repair. 

Divorce is difficult. But by making the right moves, 

you can help brighten your financial picture.

Immunizations For The Entire Family 

North Carolina 

Department of Health and 

Human Services 

Secretary Al Delia has 

urged parents to 

immunize their children 

and other adult family 

members against 

infectious diseases such as 

pertussis, commonly 

known as whooping 

cough, which continues to 

be on the rise across the 

country. School aged 

children have only weeks 

to receive the shots they 

need before going back to 

school. In North Carolina 

schools, immunization 

records are checked at the 

beginning of each school 

year, with a special 

emphasis at the start of 

kindergarten and at the 

start of sixth grade. 

Secretary Delia also 

stressed that older family 

members often serve as 

carriers of pertussis and 

can easily spread it to 

vulnerable infants and 

young children, so they 

should be immunized as 

well. Pertussis is a highly 

contagious disease that is 

spread from person to 

person usually by 

coughing or sneezing while 

in close contact with 

others. 

August not only marks 

the beginning of school for 

most in North Carolina, 

but it is also recognized as 

National Immunization 

Awareness Month. 

“Back to school time is 

a good opportunity to see 

that everyone in your 

household is up to date on 

required vaccinations,” 

Delia said. “We have seen 

a dramatic increase in 

pertussis cases in North 

Carolina and across the 

country this year, so we 

need a community-wide 

effort to prevent further 

spread of the disease.” 

More than 366 cases of 

pertussis have been 

reported in North Carolina 

since the beginning of the 

outbreak in November 

2011.† Secretary Delia 

today visited the health 

department in Alamance 

County, which alone has 

seen 153 cases. 

In response to the 

increase in whooping 

cough cases outbreak, 

DHHS has made the Tdap 

vaccine available to 

anyone at no cost for a 

limited time. In addition 

to pertussis, all school 

children in North Carolina 

must be vaccinated 

against: Diphtheria, 

Hepatitis B, Hib Disease, 

Measles, Mumps, Polio, 

Rubella, Tetanus, and 

Varicella (chickenpox). 

Some children through 

the age of 18 are eligible 

to receive their 

immunizations at no cost 

through the federally 

funded Vaccines for 

Children (VFC) program 

which provides vaccines to 

those who are Medicaid 

eligible, American Indian 

or Alaskan Native, 

uninsured 

or 

underinsured. There is no 

fee for the cost of the VFC 

vaccine for eligible 

children; however a 

provider may charge an 

administrative fee. 

More details on school 

immunization 

requirements in North 

Carolina, as well as 

details about the VFC 

program can be found by 

visiting the North 

Carolina Immunization 

Branch Website at 

www.immunize.nc.gov. 

The Granville-Vance 

District Health 

Department works to 

anticipate, identify, and 

meet the public health 

needs of the community.

ounded in 2000 by Cary 

esident Jill Wolford, 

amily and friends, the 

aring Community 

oundation has now

ancer patients and has

Tickets for several 

highly anticipated State 

Fair concerts go on sale 

next week, with Scotty 

McCreery tickets 

expected to sell out 

quickly. Concert tickets 

and discounted admission 

and ride tickets will go 

on sale at 10 a.m. 

Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 

www.ncstatefair.org. 

The concerts are the 

catalyst for many people to 

purchase in the early days 

of online sales, but they 

can also take advantage of 

discounts and the Early 

Bird Special, said State 

Fair Manager Wesley 

Wyatt. Early birds can 

earn free tickets for 

purchases made before 

retail locations open 

September 27. 

Advance admission 

tickets are $6 for adults 

and $2 for children. 

These prices reflect a 

savings of $2 per adult 

admission ticket and $1 

dollar fundraising 

milestone. 100% of 

individual funds raised go 

directly to cancer patients 

for necessities such as 

rent, utilities and 

medicine. Corporate 

sponsors pay for the 

f o u n d a t i o n ’ s 

administrative costs. 

The Caring 

Community Foundation 

is an organization of 

volunteers who donate 

their time and talents to 

supporting the 

foundation’s mission. 

Through interactions 

with social workers at 

area cancer centers, the 

Caring Community 

Foundation acts quickly 

to alleviate financial 

stresses so patients can 

focus on treatment and 

recovery. The Caring 

Community Foundation 

will help a Triangle 

per childs ticket. Adult 

admission tickets for 

groups of 40 or more are 

$5. An 18-ticket ride 

sheet is $10 in advance, 

saving fairgoers $8 off the 

regular price. Children 

under age 6 and adults 65 

and over get in free. 

With the Early Bird 

Special, ticket buyers can 

earn up to three free 

adult admission tickets 

based on the total 

purchase amount in a 

single order before 

convenience fees. 

Spending between $40 

and $100 earns one free 

ticket. Purchases of 

$100.01 to $200 will earn 

fairgoers two free tickets, 

and purchases of more 

than $200 earn three free 

tickets. 

Online admission, 

ride, grandstand and 

Dorton Arena concert 

tickets apply toward the 

purchase total. 

The 2012 N.C. State 

cancer patient every day 

this year - 365 days; 365 

patients. 

The Pay-it-Forward 

Party is open to the 

public. The event will 

include heavy hors d’ 

oeuvres, an open bar 

featuring beer and wine, 

live entertainment

Swamp Sunflower Makes A 

Good Landscape Plant 

by Carl Cantaluppi 

People who are 

looking for a perennial 

plant that loves clay 

soils that are poorly 

drained and remained 

waterlogged should try 

the swamp sunflower. 

Helianthus 

angustifolius (swamp 

sunflower, or narrowleaf 

sunflower) is a 

perennial that can grow 

to 6 ft tall with a muchbranched 

stem and 

rough, sandpapery 

leaves 3-6 in long but 

only a half-inch wide. 

The yellow flowers, 2-3 

in across, are borne 

profusely from Early 

October through 

November when there 

are few blooming plants 

in the landscape. 

Swamp sunflower 

grows in moist, sunny or 

partly shady locations 

throughout much of the 

eastern U.S. from 

southern New York to 

Florida and west to the 

Ohio River valley and 

south to southern Texas. 

It grows in swamps, wet 

pinelands, coastal salt 

marshes and moist 

disturbed sites and is 

often common along 

roadside ditches and 

fence lines. 

Like most 

sunflowers, this one does 

best in full sun. Plants 

grown in partial shade 

will be leggier and 

probably fall over 

without support. and 

won’t produce as many 

flowers. It prefers a 

moist soil but will thrive 

in well-drained soils if 

watered during dry 

spells. 

It will grow in USDA 

Hardiness Zones 6 - 9. It 

is an herbaceous 

perennial that dies to 

the ground after the first 

freeze, and returns in 

spring. It can be 

purchased now as a 

container-grown plant. 

For more plants, you can 

cut the root mass apart 

into divisions before 

planting. 

It’s attractive to 

many of our native 

butterflies and often 

grown in the wildflower 

garden or in mixed 

perennial beds. It is 

rather inconspicuous 

most of the year, lying 

low and unobtrusive, 

but still attractive with 

its deep green leaves 

and maroon stems. 

However, the narrowleaved 

sunflower comes 

alive and brightens 

everything around it 

from September until 

November. You can cut 

the plant back in June so 

it will be bushier when it 

Swamp sunflower is 

salt tolerant and a useful 

perennial for coastal 

periods. When grown in 

well-drained fertile soils 

in a sunny location, the 

plant will spread rapidly 

in an area from its 

underground rhizomes 

blooms later in the year. 

gardens. And, it can 

tolerate waterlogged 

soils for extended 

(roots).
