GHS Reduces Staff<br />
Granville Health<br />
System (GHS) has<br />
announced that state and<br />
federal legislative<br />
cutbacks and the<br />
changing nature of the<br />
health care industry due<br />
to the Affordable Care Act<br />
(ACA) have lead to the<br />
elimination of 19.8<br />
positions at the health<br />
system.<br />
In a letter to<br />
employees last week, L.<br />
Lee Isley, GHS CEO,<br />
announced the positions<br />
had been eliminated by<br />
October 7. Of those<br />
positions, 6 were<br />
currently vacant and will<br />
not be filled. Of the<br />
remaining positions<br />
eliminated, 6.8 are being<br />
drawn from a reduction in<br />
staffing hours.<br />
That leaves 7 current<br />
Granville Health System<br />
positions currently filled,<br />
reduced through the<br />
organization’s reduction<br />
in force.<br />
“This was not a<br />
decision taken lightly,”<br />
said Isley. “The layoffs<br />
were made as hospitals<br />
around the country face<br />
unprecedented challenges<br />
and financial pressures<br />
from both the federal and<br />
state levels due to the<br />
Affordable Care Act. The<br />
organization evaluated<br />
every option before being<br />
resigned that a reduction<br />
in force was the only<br />
solution.”<br />
In fact, over the past two<br />
years Granville Health<br />
System has been<br />
planning for and<br />
implementing initiatives<br />
to help counter balance<br />
the impending financial<br />
implications of the<br />
Affordable Care Act.<br />
Over the past 24 months<br />
GHS has made the<br />
following adjustments in<br />
operations, reducing<br />
approximately $1,052,500<br />
in expenses:<br />
Re-negotiated Magnetic<br />
Resonance Imaging<br />
(MRI) lease arrangement<br />

Ed Mims Appointed To Two<br />
NCACC Steering Committees<br />
Granville County<br />
Commissioner Ed Mims of<br />
Creedmoor has been<br />
appointed to two North<br />
Carolina Association of<br />
County Commissioners<br />
steering committees—the<br />
Public Education Steering<br />
Committee, and the<br />
Health and Human<br />
Services Steering<br />
Committee.<br />
In letters from Kevin<br />
Leonard, the association’s<br />
Deputy Director, thanking<br />
Mims for his willingness<br />
to serve on the<br />
committees, Leonard says,<br />
“Steering committees play<br />
a critical role in the<br />
development of the<br />
Association’s legislative<br />
priorities, providing an<br />
excellent opportunity for<br />
education on major issues<br />
as well as an opportunity<br />
to network with fellow<br />
county commissioners.<br />
“Each committee will<br />
meet quarterly<br />
throughout the year to<br />
monitor the progress of<br />
our legislative goals and to<br />
discuss other pertinent<br />
issues that arise.<br />
“Your participation in<br />
our steering committees is<br />
very important. The<br />
Association strives to<br />
make sure that all 100<br />
counties are actively<br />
involved throughout the<br />
legislative process.<br />
“This unity is a<br />
tremendous asset when<br />
counties pursue<br />
legislative solutions at the<br />
General Assembly, and we<br />
could not achieve this<br />
cohesiveness without<br />
dedicated county officials<br />
like you who are willing to<br />
serve on our steering<br />
committees.”<br />

Friends, Family<br />
& Neighbors<br />
Creedmoor United Methodist Church has a new<br />
astor. He is the Rev. Jared Hanson. He is the former<br />
ssociate Christian Education Pastor at Pine Valley<br />
MC in Wilmington, NC, from 2009-2013.<br />
The Rev. Hanson, originally from Ohio, moved to<br />
Durham with his family when he was eight years old<br />
and considers this posting as having come full circle.<br />
“I consider this area home territory,” he says.<br />
He is a graduate of NC State University, with a<br />
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy.<br />
Originally in college to work his way into the film<br />
industry, the Rev. Hanson said that fellow filmmakers<br />
were more interested in his views on life and the<br />
Church.<br />
“People on movie sets would want to talk to me<br />
about God, faith, doubts, etc., and my then pastor at<br />
First Baptist Church in Raleigh told me he thought I<br />
had the gifts and skills to go into the ministry,” he<br />
says.<br />
After graduating from Duke Divinity School in<br />
2004, the Rev. Hanson became pastor of Fairview<br />
UMC in Elon for five years. He says a small church<br />
was a good place to “get the fundamentals of ministry<br />
and how to run a church on a day-to-day basis.”<br />
After five years in Elon, the Rev. Hanson, his wife,<br />
Jenny, and their children moved to Wilmington for his<br />
assignment as the Christian Education Pastor of the<br />
significantly larger Pine Valley UMC.<br />
“I was responsible for Christian Education from<br />
cradle to grave, overseeing children’s ministries, adult<br />
Bible studies, etc., “ he says.<br />
The experience was a good one for the pastor.<br />
“Coming from a smaller church in Elon, I learned<br />
just how different churches can be run, based on the<br />
size and needs of the different congregations,” the Rev.<br />
anson says.<br />
After the four-year assignment in Wilmington, the<br />
ev. Hanson was then given the opportunity to become<br />
he current pastor at Creedmoor UMC.<br />
“I was ready to be a pastor at a place larger than<br />
y first church,” he says.<br />
The Rev. Hanson’s tenure began on June 25th of<br />
his year. In the four months that have followed, he<br />
as been able to begin to gauge the unique needs of<br />
is new congregation, and, by extension, his new<br />
ometown.<br />
“I’ve noticed Creedmoor is in a time of transition<br />
nd growth,” he says. “In the church, we are<br />
xperiencing a transition of leadership and growth of<br />
ounger families, and just learning how to navigate<br />
hose changes.”<br />
When asked where he sees Creedmoor UMC going<br />
n the next five years, the pastor was optimistic.<br />
“I just see this church growing in our influence,<br />
haring God’s love with the rich and the poor alike,<br />
eing a ministry to schools and other community<br />
rganizations.”<br />
Creedmoor UMC is located at 214 Park Avenue.<br />
he church website is www.creedmoorumc.com, and<br />
he phone number is 919-528-3987.<br />
The Rev. Jared Hanson, the new pastor of Creedmoor United<br />
Methodist Church, and his wife, Jenny, are on the back row<br />
with their daughter, Emily. The couple’s sons, Parker and<br />
Henry, are in front.<br />

Your Week Ahead Horoscope<br />
Oct. 18, 2013 - Oct. 24, 2013<br />
by Lasha Seniuk<br />
ARIES (March 21-<br />
April 19): You could need<br />
to see an optometrist<br />
because you may mistake<br />
the carrot for the stick. In<br />
the week ahead, you<br />
should avoid giving in to<br />
temptations or making<br />
changes on the spur of the<br />
moment.<br />
TAURUS (April 20-<br />
May 20): Consider what's<br />
best for everyone before<br />
you take action in the<br />
upcoming week. A<br />
generous spirit will act as<br />
a shield against<br />
competitors and offers an<br />
ambitious partner<br />
necessary assistance.<br />
GEMINI (May 21-June<br />
20): You are as good as<br />
you think you are. At the<br />
same time, your<br />
confidence about your<br />
abilities might lead you to<br />
be overly generous or<br />
careless with cash in the<br />
week to come. Spread<br />
good will but not money.<br />
CANCER (June 21-<br />
July 22): Rise above petty<br />
issues or irrational fears.<br />
You could yoyo between<br />
optimism and pessimism.<br />
Put on your thinking cap<br />
later this week to make a<br />
wise decision that will<br />
have a long-range positive<br />
effect.<br />
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):<br />
You might not be a<br />
ballerina but you should<br />
still stay on your toes.<br />
Your ability to act with a<br />
creative flair is enhanced<br />
in the week ahead. Write<br />
down inspirations and<br />
ideas, as they may be<br />
useful in the future.<br />
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.<br />
22): Secrecy and trust can<br />
work together. Prove your<br />
worth to allies by<br />
remaining discreet.<br />
Sometime after the<br />
middle of the week is the<br />
best time to launch key<br />
strategies and make your<br />
move for career success.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.<br />
22): Truth and honesty<br />
will take you far in the<br />
upcoming week. Activities<br />
within the community<br />
may bring satisfaction. Be<br />
cautious about spending,<br />
but don't be bashful about<br />
displaying your talents.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-<br />
Nov. 21): Don't fall prey<br />
to unfounded fears. You<br />
may worry that too<br />
many ears are<br />
connected to too many<br />
mouths. Put important<br />
plans into motion later<br />
in the week, when your<br />
confidence is at a higher<br />
point.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.<br />
22-Dec. 21): Carry on<br />
and carry through on<br />
contracts, promises and<br />
agreements in the week<br />
ahead. Your bank<br />
account can move into<br />
the black if you play<br />
your cards right. New<br />
contacts upgrade your<br />
social life.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec.<br />
22-Jan. 19): Make<br />
yourself into a money<br />
magnet. You could be<br />
intuitively at the right<br />
place at the right time to<br />
score big time in the<br />
world of commerce if you<br />
don't take unnecessary<br />
risks in the week ahead.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-<br />
Feb. 18): Ignore<br />
unsubstantiated<br />
feelings of discomfort or<br />
worry. You could seem<br />
too high strung or<br />
changeful to others in<br />
the upcoming week.<br />
Find some quiet time to<br />
meditate and return to<br />
your solid center.<br />
PISCES (Feb. 19-<br />
March 20): Look for<br />
opportunities to<br />
upgrade your public<br />
image in the coming<br />
week. To do this,<br />
concentrate on<br />
developing viable and<br />
worthy goals rather<br />
than trying to be a<br />
shrewd business person.<br />

THURSDAY<br />
October 17, 2013<br />
An appropriate<br />
observance of October as<br />
Domestic Violence<br />
Awareness Month would<br />
be for everyone who lives<br />
in this county to think<br />
about how serious the<br />
tragedy is, and how it<br />
affects them whether or<br />
not they’re aware of it.<br />
Practically every citizen<br />
has to pay taxes that are<br />
required to support the<br />
services that the justice<br />
system has to use to deal<br />
with the perpetrators,<br />
plus restorative<br />
expenses needed for the<br />
victims.<br />
It’s especially sad to<br />
see how the children who<br />
grow up in abusive<br />
families suffer a lifetime<br />
of physical and/or<br />
emotional scarring, and<br />
they often find it<br />
challenging to live<br />
productive adult lives.<br />
There is a myth that<br />
only women and children<br />
are the victims of<br />
domestic violence, but<br />
men can be physically<br />
and emotionally battered<br />
by women, as well.<br />
Also, many people<br />
think that physical<br />
torture is the only form of<br />
family violence that<br />
society needs to focus on.<br />
However, verbal abuse,<br />
emotional abuse, and<br />
financial abuse can be<br />
just as devastating.<br />
Granville County<br />
residents are fortunate to<br />
have Families Living<br />
Violence Free as a<br />
valuable resource. The<br />
executive director,<br />
Lauren Renee, is a<br />
dedicated professional<br />
who works tirelessly on<br />
victims’ behalf.<br />
Any donation to<br />
FLVF, whether financial<br />
or otherwise, would not<br />
be wasted.<br />

About Letters<br />
T he fellow who<br />
heads the General<br />
Assembly police caused<br />
quite a stir the other day<br />
when he testified in court<br />
that his police force had<br />
labeled some Raleigharea<br />
people "anarchists"<br />
and collected intelligence<br />
on them.<br />
According to The<br />
News & Observer of<br />
Raleigh, the remark<br />
provoked "a murmur of<br />
disbelief" among many of<br />
the lawyers in the room.<br />
Jeff Weaver, who is<br />
chief of the 18-member<br />
legislative police<br />
department, was in court<br />
for the first trial of a<br />
"Moral Monday"<br />
protester, one of the<br />
hundreds arrested during<br />
a series of summer<br />
protests opposing the<br />
policies of the<br />
Republican-led General<br />
Assembly.<br />
Weaver testified that<br />
his officers kept an eye<br />
out for the anarchists<br />
during those protests.<br />
His testimony<br />
followed revelations that<br />
the Raleigh Police<br />
Department sent an<br />
undercover officer into<br />
the protest planning<br />
sessions, organized by the<br />
NAACP and its state<br />
president,<br />
t h e<br />
Rev.<br />
William<br />
Barber.<br />
A<br />
Raleigh<br />
police<br />
spokeswoman<br />
later<br />
said<br />
that<br />
t h e<br />
department's presence<br />
was to determine how<br />
many people planned to<br />
be arrested.<br />
The murmurs in the<br />
courtroom likely were<br />
the result of lawyers in<br />
the<br />
crowd<br />
understanding that this<br />
kind of police<br />
surveillance has the<br />
potential to run afoul of<br />
a fundamental right<br />
spelled out in the 1st<br />
Amendment, the right<br />
to peaceably assemble.<br />
After his testimony,<br />
Weaver declined to say<br />
exactly who his<br />
department considered<br />
an anarchist or what<br />
intelligence they had<br />
gathered.<br />
My suspicion is that<br />
his "anarchists" are<br />
members of Raleigh<br />
FIST, a far-left group of<br />
A V IEW<br />
F ROM<br />
R ALEIGH<br />
By Scott<br />
Mooneyham<br />
mostly<br />
college<br />
students<br />
who were<br />
active in<br />
legislative<br />
protests<br />
a year<br />
earlier.<br />
I have no<br />
i d e a<br />
whether<br />
those<br />
folks are<br />
actual anarchists, defined<br />
by Merriam-Webster as<br />
someone "who believes<br />
that government and laws<br />
are not necessary."<br />
As for Barber and his<br />
fellow "Moral Monday"<br />
supporters, they seem<br />
about as far from<br />
anarchists as you can get.<br />
Just listen to some of<br />
his words, from this<br />
summer:<br />
"We don't have a<br />
deficit of money; we have<br />
a deficit of character."<br />
"The goal of Moral<br />
Monday was, first of all, to<br />
challenge the immoral<br />
positions of cutting<br />
500,000 people from<br />
Medicaid and 170,000<br />
people's unemployment<br />
…"<br />
Those are hardly the<br />
comments of someone who<br />
wants no government or<br />
laws, or even less<br />
government for that<br />
matter.<br />
Still, Weaver may be<br />
right. Anarchists could be<br />
out and about.<br />
Rumor has it that a<br />
couple hundred people to<br />
the north have embraced<br />
this idea that<br />
government is not<br />
necessary. In fact, they<br />
have embarked on a<br />
campaign to stop<br />
payment for government<br />
-- shutting down parks,<br />
halting health care<br />
programs and sending<br />
home military<br />
contractors.<br />
Word is that they<br />
mostly keep their Che<br />
Guevara t-shirts hidden<br />
beneath their $1,000-<br />
dollar suits.<br />
Fortunately for<br />
Weaver, these radical<br />
anarchists are not too<br />
hard to find. They<br />
allegedly hang out in a<br />
giant domed building in<br />
Washington.<br />
I'd suggest that he get<br />
his police force up there<br />
right away to begin<br />
gathering intelligence.<br />
Who knows when this<br />
unruly mob of radicals<br />
might descend upon<br />
Raleigh?<br />
The Butner-Creedmoor News invites letters to the editor. The<br />
rules are simple.<br />
• To be published, a letter must bear the SIGNATURE of the<br />
writer. A typed or printed name alone is not sufficient. Unsigned<br />
letters will not be published.<br />
• The writer’s address and phone number should appear on<br />
the letter to allow for verification. The phone number will not be<br />
published.<br />
• Maximum acceptable length is the equivalent to two<br />
typewritten pages, double-spaced, or about 500 words. Letters to<br />
third parties are not published.<br />
• Letters are accepted via e-mail, but to comply with the<br />
signature requirement, writer should print out and sign a hard<br />
copy of the letter and mail or FAX it to the newspaper. The letter<br />
will be considered for timely publication upon receipt of the<br />
signed copy.<br />
• Because of space limitations, poetry generally cannot be<br />
published.<br />
• Generally, the paper will print only one letter from the same<br />
writer within 30 days.<br />
• The Butner-Creedmoor News reserves the right to edit<br />
letters for grammar and length, and to edit or reject letters that<br />
are libelous or of questionable taste.<br />

congressional Republicans<br />
over the<br />
government shutdown<br />
and debt ceiling crises?<br />
We get a clue in<br />
Conroy’s latest book, "The<br />
Death of Santini," which<br />
comes out in a few days.<br />
Conroy describes his<br />
mother Peg’s likely<br />
reaction to a demand<br />
from Conroy’s sister,<br />
Carol, for $5,000 "or she<br />
would cut her throat."<br />
"From mom," Conroy<br />
writes, "Carol wouldn't<br />
have gotten one nickel….<br />
Peg would've laughed …<br />
and told Carol never to<br />
call her again with that<br />
line."<br />
So, if his mother Peg<br />
thought the Republicans’<br />
actions in refusing to end<br />
the shutdown or in not<br />
allowing the government<br />
to pay its bills were<br />
blackmail, she would tell<br />
the president to ignore<br />
the Republicans’ threats.<br />
But Conroy felt he<br />
could not dismiss his<br />
sister’s suicide threat.<br />
She had a history of<br />
mental illness and<br />
threatened suicides. One<br />
building<br />
in Columbia,<br />
S.C.<br />
H i s<br />
friend,<br />
Bernie,<br />
heard<br />
Conroy on the telephone<br />
tell his sister "that I'd<br />
send the check through<br />
FedEx when I got off the<br />
phone. Bernie was<br />
screaming at me, ‘You<br />
can't put up with that<br />
kind of blackmail!<br />
That's awful for Carol<br />
and awful for you!’"<br />
"But I know she<br />
won't slit her throat for<br />
a while," Conroy said to<br />
his friend. "The power of<br />
suicide is enormous and<br />
Carol knows it. She<br />
understands how to<br />
manipulate all the<br />
airways of guilt. She<br />
uses her childhood as a<br />
weapon against us."<br />
"Be like Peg," Bernie<br />
told Conroy. "You’re<br />
setting a terrible<br />
precedent for Carol."<br />
President Obama<br />
seems to want to follow<br />
the approach<br />

Giving in to and "debt ceiling" cards,<br />

condemned<br />
the con-<br />
even if those actions are<br />
Obama in dealing with<br />
as<br />
gressional<br />
Republicans’<br />
demands<br />
w o u l d<br />
similarly be<br />
a terrible<br />
precedent.<br />
S o m e<br />
commentators,<br />
like Creators Syndicate<br />
columnist Froma Harrop,<br />
use stronger language.<br />
"America's leaders,<br />
Democrats and sane<br />
Republicans, must drive a<br />
stake in the heart of the<br />
idea that you can close<br />
down the government--and<br />
threaten economic<br />
meltdown by playing<br />
games with the debt<br />
ceiling--to win political<br />
concessions. Only<br />
unconditional defeat of<br />
this tactic can save the<br />
principle that you don't<br />
shut down government to<br />
get this or that concession.<br />
Obama made a serious<br />
mistake by negotiating<br />
during past trumped-up<br />
crises. He's been strong so<br />
far."<br />
Still, in sizing up the<br />
situation, even partisan<br />
Democrats should<br />
blackmail.<br />
They believe their<br />
objectives justify the<br />
extraordinary means<br />
they are using in an<br />
attempt to achieve them,<br />
as explained by Georgia<br />
Republican Representative<br />
Jack Kingston, a<br />
senior member of the<br />
Appropriations Committee.<br />
He told The New<br />
York Times, "To the<br />
degree that going<br />
through short-term<br />
sacrifice to change the<br />
long-term spending<br />
pattern of America, it<br />
seems to be the only way<br />
to get things done in this<br />
environment."<br />
But, partisan<br />
Republicans, even those<br />
who sincerely think<br />
extreme means are<br />
warranted to achieve<br />
their objectives, must<br />
understand why President<br />
Obama seems to be<br />
taking the advice of Pat<br />
Conroy’s mom and his<br />
friend Bernie that giving<br />
in to such tactics would<br />
be, as Bernie told Pat, a<br />
"terrible precedent."

ood Lion recently made<br />

o take a leading role<br />
across the state in<br />
providing critical funding<br />
to North Carolina food<br />
banks that will begin to<br />
receive increased requests<br />
in the coming weeks,” said<br />
Beth Newlands Campbell,<br />
president of Food Lion. “In<br />
North Carolina, one in<br />
four children face hunger<br />
each day, and parents are<br />
forced to make difficult<br />
decisions, like buying<br />
formula or paying rent, to<br />
provide their children<br />
with the nutrition they<br />
need. We’re hopeful that<br />
today’s donation helps<br />
families to make fewer of<br />
those tough choices,<br />
particularly during this<br />
time.”<br />
The gift cards, which<br />
are in $5 increments, will<br />
be distributed to food<br />
banks in Asheville,<br />
Charlotte, Elizabeth City,<br />
Fayetteville, Raleigh and<br />
Winston-Salem that serve<br />
counties throughout the<br />
state.<br />
Food Banks that will<br />
receive the gift cards<br />
include:<br />
• Food Bank of the<br />
Albemarle, Food Bank of<br />

Bank of Metrolina and<br />
Board Chair of the North<br />
Carolina Association of<br />
Feeding America Food<br />
Banks. “We are grateful<br />
for this donation which<br />
comes at a critical time as<br />
we struggle to find ways<br />
to bridge the gap of<br />
hunger and continue<br />
putting food on the table<br />
for the families we serve.”<br />
Food Lion works every<br />
day to end hunger and<br />
food insecurity in the<br />
communities it serves.<br />
The grocer made today’s<br />
donation to help families<br />
in its home state receive<br />
the nutrition they need.<br />
Food Lion gift cards<br />
will arrive at the food<br />
banks over the next two<br />
days. Food banks will<br />
distribute them to<br />
partner agencies and<br />

eported that they were<br />
nly at 180 enrollments<br />
owards their goal of 350.<br />
o they are currently still<br />
ooking for participants.<br />
What if you could<br />
revent a family from<br />
earing the words, ”You<br />
ave cancer”? What if you<br />
ould help save lives from<br />
ancer and give people<br />
ore precious time with<br />
amily and friends?<br />
Well, you can!<br />
esidents have an<br />
nprecedented<br />
pportunity to participate<br />
n a historic study that<br />
as the potential to<br />
hange the face of cancer<br />
or future generations.<br />
Men and women<br />
etween the ages of 30<br />
nd 65 who have never<br />
een diagnosed with<br />
ancer are needed to<br />
articipate in the<br />
merican Cancer Society<br />
ancer Prevention Study-<br />
(CPS-3). CPS-3 will<br />
nroll a diverse<br />
opulation of up to<br />
00,000 people across the<br />
United States and Puerto<br />
Rico.<br />
The opportunity to<br />
enroll in the study will<br />
take place at 4 locations<br />
from October 22-26, 2013.<br />
Individuals can visit<br />
cps3gwv.org or call 1-888-<br />
604-5888 to enroll for any<br />
of the following locations.<br />
Butner Town Hall on<br />
Tuesday, October 22, 3:00<br />
pm to 6:30 pm.<br />
Masonic Home for<br />
Children, Oxford on<br />
Thursday, October 24,<br />

12:30 pm.<br />
Warrenton Rural Fire<br />
Department on Tuesday,<br />
October 22, 4:00 pm to<br />
7:30 pm.<br />
CPS-3 will help<br />
researchers better<br />
understand the lifestyle,<br />
environmental and<br />
genetic factors that cause<br />
or prevent cancer. As part<br />
of the in-person<br />
enrollment, individuals<br />

Cluck n’ Shuck<br />
Granville County Chamber of Commerce held a Cluck’n<br />
Shuck on October 11 at The Red Barn, in Oxford. These<br />
folks were enjoying the food.<br />
Serving with a smile<br />
Ginnie Currin, George Ritchie & Wanda Garrett<br />
survey, provide a waist<br />
measurement, and give a<br />
small blood sample. The<br />
enrollment process is<br />
complete when<br />
individuals complete the<br />
more comprehensive<br />
baseline survey. Over the<br />
course of the study, which<br />
is anticipated to last 20 to<br />
30 years, participants will<br />
be asked to fill out followup<br />
surveys every few<br />
years that will be sent to<br />
their home.<br />
“This is a once-in-ageneration<br />
opportunity to<br />
participate in lifesaving<br />
cancer research,” said Pat<br />
Curl, health systems<br />
director for the American<br />
Cancer Society. ”We hope<br />
to enroll at least 350<br />
individuals and we need<br />
the community’s support<br />
to meet that goal. We<br />
encourage all who have<br />
had a loved one affected<br />
by cancer to participate.”<br />
Researchers will use<br />
the data from CPS-3 to<br />
build on evidence from a<br />
series of American Cancer<br />
Society studies that<br />
began in the 1950s that<br />
collectively have involved<br />
millions of volunteer<br />
participants. The<br />
Hammond-Horn Study<br />
and previous Cancer<br />
Prevention Studies (CPS-<br />
I, and CPS-II) have<br />
played a major role in<br />
understanding cancer<br />
prevention and risk, and<br />
have contributed<br />
significantly to the<br />
scientific basis and<br />
development of public<br />
health guidelines and<br />
recommendations.<br />
Those studies<br />
confirmed the link<br />
between cigarette<br />
smoking and lung cancer,<br />
demonstrated the link<br />
between larger waist size<br />
and increased death rates<br />
from cancer and other<br />
causes, and showed the<br />
considerable impact of air<br />
pollution on heart and<br />
lung conditions.<br />

[Continued From Page 1A<br />
models for Emergency<br />
Medical Services<br />
Restructured the<br />
inpatient physician model<br />
Developed Increased<br />
productivity models for<br />
clinical areas<br />
Implemented changes to<br />
the employee benefit plan<br />
model<br />
Still, the growing<br />
number of State and<br />
Federal mandates<br />
connected to the<br />
Affordable Care Act has<br />
challenged the Health<br />
System beyond these cost<br />
savings.<br />
Additional action was<br />
necessary as a result of a<br />
convergence of factors<br />
that have depressed, and<br />
will further depress,<br />
Granville Health System<br />
revenues. Some of the<br />
larger legislative cuts<br />
affecting GHS in 2014 are<br />
the following:<br />
A 2 percent ( $314,700)<br />
cut in Medicare payments<br />
over the last year due to<br />
federal budget<br />
sequestration;<br />
Further Medicare<br />
payment reductions<br />
($382,000) due to the<br />
Affordable Care Act;<br />
The state’s decision<br />
not to expand Medicaid<br />
coverage for the<br />
uninsured; and<br />
The state’s recent<br />
decision to dramatically<br />
cut ($277,300) Medicaid<br />
reimbursements for all<br />
hospitals in North<br />
Carolina.<br />
The state’s new Front<br />
Loaded Unemployment<br />
Formula increase<br />
($63,000)<br />
CMS Recovery Audit<br />
Program: Recovery Audit<br />
Contractor (RAC)<br />
($600,000)<br />
The state’s<br />
requirement to increase<br />
retirement contributions<br />
to fund Treasury<br />
operations ($131,600)<br />
GHS has also<br />
improved revenue<br />
through increased volume<br />
in the hospital’s newly<br />
constructed Emergency<br />
Department and other<br />
programs. Restructuring<br />
areas within the<br />
organization’s billing<br />
system has also improved<br />
the hospital’s finances. In<br />
addition, GHS has<br />
consolidated specialty<br />
physician practices at the<br />
renovated 102<br />
Professional Park<br />
building, providing<br />
patients with more<br />
convenient service while<br />
allowing a savings<br />
through efficiencies for<br />
the Health System.<br />
For Granville Health<br />
System, reduced<br />
reimbursements due to<br />
the Affordable Care Act<br />
and other regulatory<br />
changes are expected to<br />
total well over $1.8<br />
million in fiscal year<br />
2014. The cuts in staffing<br />
are equivalent to<br />
$956,258 in salaries for<br />
fiscal year 2014.<br />
“Granville Health<br />
System is not immune<br />
from the challenges<br />
currently faced by every<br />
hospital in America,” said<br />
Isley. “Consequently, we<br />
are forced to make some<br />
very difficult decisions to<br />
ensure we position GHS<br />
to continue serving our<br />
community, delivering the<br />
highest level of quality<br />
care.”<br />
Granville County<br />
residents should not see<br />
any changes, based on<br />
these cutbacks, in<br />
services to the community<br />
or Granville Health<br />
System’s high level of<br />
commitment to quality<br />
care and patient safety.<br />

mong an elite group of<br />
epresentatives from<br />
cross the country<br />
elected to participate in<br />
he nation’s first Playful<br />
ity USA Leaders<br />
ummit on September 23-<br />
4 in Baltimore.<br />
For the first time,<br />
unicipal and thought<br />
eaders around the<br />
ountry gathered to chart<br />
path to ensuring all<br />
hildren get the play they<br />
eed to thrive. Play is<br />
ritical to the physical,<br />
ocial, emotional,<br />
ognitive and creative<br />
evelopment of children.<br />
ut play is disappearing<br />
n homes, schools and<br />
ommunities. A healthy<br />
alance of active play is<br />
alling victim to TV, video<br />
ames, structured<br />
chedules, declining<br />
ecess time, and a lack of<br />
ccess to safe play spaces.<br />
The 2013 Playful City<br />
SA Leaders Summit:<br />
nvesting in Children<br />
hrough Play, a national<br />
latform of KaBOOM!,<br />
nd sponsored by<br />
umana Foundation, was<br />
eant to drive<br />
nvestments in<br />
nfrastructure, policies<br />
nd programming that<br />
ill ensure that all<br />
hildren receive the<br />
alance of active play<br />
hey need to thrive.<br />
This invitation-only<br />
ummit brought together<br />
city, non-profit,<br />
foundation, business and<br />
national leaders from<br />
across the country to<br />
advance collective efforts<br />
to ensure that all children<br />
get the play that they<br />
need to become healthy<br />
and successful adults.<br />
Creedmoor Mayor Darryl<br />
Moss was among the<br />
select group of more than<br />
150 attendees that also<br />
included the honorable<br />
Arne Duncan, American<br />
Heart Association CEO<br />
Nancy Brown, The Aspen<br />
Institute CEO Walter<br />
Isaacson, and mayors<br />
from cities large and<br />
small across the nation.<br />
Mayor Moss said,<br />
“This was a great event. I<br />
left with knowledge and<br />
innovative solutions<br />
about increasing access to<br />
play that we can apply in<br />
our community.”<br />
Cities are critical<br />
drivers for achieving play<br />
outcomes and most playfocused<br />
infrastructure<br />
investment, policies and<br />
programming happen at<br />
the local level. As such,<br />
KaBOOM! created the<br />
Playful City USA<br />
program in 2007 to<br />
recognize municipalities<br />
who are prioritizing play,<br />
and in 2013, honored a<br />
record 217 cities for their<br />
achievements, including<br />
Creedmoor.<br />
Creedmoor was the<br />
first city in North<br />
Carolina to be designated<br />
as a “Playful City”<br />
community, and as a<br />
result of a continued focus<br />
toward building<br />
recreation in the City, has<br />
received the designation<br />
for seven years straight.<br />
Scottie Cornett, Parks<br />
and Recreation Director<br />
for Creedmoor notes that,<br />
KaBOOM! provides us<br />
with the tools and<br />
guidance to self-organize<br />
and take action to support<br />
play. It is through our<br />
designation as a “Playful<br />
City” that we have<br />
learned how to apply the<br />
Playful City principals<br />
and<br />
funding<br />
opportunities and use<br />
them to help us build<br />
Creedmoor’s Parks and<br />
Recreation Program.<br />
Right now, we are in our<br />
infancy of the program,<br />
but once we complete our<br />
Recreation Master Plan<br />
and get an idea of what<br />
our residents want, we<br />
can then go after grants<br />
to help us build new<br />
facilities and programs.<br />
We wish we could go<br />
faster, but researching,<br />
getting input from our<br />
citizens, and building a<br />
good foundation is a<br />
critical step toward doing<br />
it right.”<br />
The City used the<br />
Playful City “Community<br />
Build” model to construct<br />
the playground for the<br />
new Harris Park at Pecan<br />
Hill, inviting volunteers<br />
from the community to<br />
assist, thus creating buyin<br />
and commitment.<br />
Public Works crews are<br />
currently putting the<br />
finishing touches on the<br />
new park, expecting the<br />
project to be complete<br />
within the next few<br />
weeks.<br />
Darell Hammond,<br />
Founder and CEO of<br />
KaBOOM! said, “We<br />
know that play can<br />
transform children —<br />
from sedentary to<br />
physically active, bored to<br />
mentally active, and<br />
solitary to socially active.<br />
When we make sure that<br />
our children’s lives are<br />
filled with play, we all<br />
benefit: our communities<br />
will be healthier and<br />
happier today, and our<br />
society will be stronger<br />
and more resilient<br />
tomorrow.<br />
“Communities like<br />
Creedmoor are creating<br />
innovative programs and<br />
initiatives and we are<br />
thrilled<br />
that<br />
representatives<br />
participated in the<br />
Playful City USA Leaders<br />
Summit and are assisting<br />
KaBOOM! in building a<br />
movement for play.<br />
Children today spend less<br />
time playing outdoors<br />
generation, a fact that is<br />
consequences on their<br />
levels, and overall wellbeing.<br />
Every child in<br />
America needs to play<br />
actively every day at<br />
home, in school and in<br />
than any previous<br />
having disastrous<br />
health, achievement<br />
their communities.”<br />

North Carolina Hot Sauce Contest by serving their own<br />
spicy treats to festival attendees. At this year’s event,<br />
the seventh annual contest held September 14th in<br />
downtown Oxford, the VGCC Culinary department also<br />
took on the added responsibility of providing the entire<br />
team of judges. It was up to the program’s two instructors,<br />
Chef Ross Ragonese (the program head) and Chef John<br />
Boretti, and students, including Jason Leonard of Oxford,<br />
Tom Schmuker of Creedmoor and Randy Wilfong of<br />
Henderson, to determine the winners of the contest,<br />
which drew dozens of entries from sauce-makers across<br />
North Carolina. These judges awarded a total of $4,500<br />
in prize money to recognize hot sauces and barbecue<br />
sauces in a variety of categories. ““We were honored that<br />
the organizers of the contest selected VGCC Culinary Arts<br />
to judge the sauces, and we were proud that one of the<br />
winners happened to be a 2012 graduate of our program,<br />
Tracey Washburn from right here in Oxford,” Ragonese<br />
said. Washburn’s “These Hips Don’t Lie” Signature Sauce<br />
won for “Best NC Mild BBQ Sauce.” From left, VGCC<br />

HOW<br />
DOES<br />
GOVERNMENT<br />
SIZE IMPACT THE<br />
ECONOMY?<br />
Perhaps few topics can start a verbal clash more<br />
than the debate over government size and the<br />
economy. The competing sides are well known. One<br />
position says government gets in the way of the<br />
economy, by levying taxes, writing restrictive<br />
regulations and directing spending to less productive<br />
activities. The opposing side says government<br />
spending is vital to keeping the economy growing,<br />
improving lives and ensuring fairness.<br />
This debate is heard at both national and state<br />
levels. Ever since the federal government began<br />
running large annual budget deficits, the economic<br />
effects of government size have been a flashpoint. Also,<br />
here in North Carolina, the most recent session of the<br />
General Assembly featured a lively discussion about<br />
the role of government in economic growth.<br />
As I always strive to do, my role here is not to<br />
choose sides and promote a particular position but to<br />
present analysis and insights that economists have<br />
accumulated over decades of studying the intersection<br />
of government and the economy.<br />
First, let me begin by addressing how government’s<br />
size has changed in recent decades. Economists’<br />
preferred measure of the size of any sector in our<br />
economy -- whether it is government, manufacturing<br />
or health care -- is to look at spending in the sector as<br />
a percent of all income. This is similar to a household<br />
tracking its own spending by examining spending<br />
amounts for food, clothing, shelter or transportation<br />
as a percent of the household’s total income. The most<br />
comprehensive measure of aggregate income in our<br />
economy is a concept called "gross domestic income,"<br />
or GDP.<br />
At the national level, federal government spending<br />
as a percent of GDP has remained remarkably stable<br />
in recent decades, at around 19 percent. Of course,<br />
during recessions, when GDP declines and federal<br />
spending usually rises, the rate can move higher, often<br />
near 25 percent.<br />
There’s a similar picture in North Carolina. For<br />
the last 30 years, combined state and local government<br />
spending in our state -- omitting federal funds<br />
administered by the state -- has hovered around 6<br />
percent of North Carolina’s GDP. Again, the rate tends<br />
to move up during recessions and then back down<br />
during economic expansions.<br />
Next, can economists say anything definitive about<br />
the relationship between the relative size of<br />
government spending and the economy? There have<br />
been two levels of inquiry on this issue, one comparing<br />
countries from around the world and the other<br />
comparing states within the U.S.<br />
A recent economic paper summarized a large<br />
number of studies focusing on how the size of<br />
government affects the economic growth of nations.<br />
The authors concluded that the majority of studies<br />
showed a larger government sector leading to slower<br />
economic growth. However, the authors noted several<br />
caveats. First, the relationship was relatively small.<br />
Every one percentage point increase in government’s<br />
size as a percentage of GDP led to between a 0.05 to<br />
0.1 percent reduction in the annual national economic<br />
growth rate.<br />
Second, the relationship between government<br />
spending and economic growth depends on the type<br />
of spending. Many studies find that spending on<br />
education and infrastructure (highways) improves<br />
economic growth, while spending on transfer programs<br />
reduces growth.<br />
Third, some countries -- primarily in Scandinavia<br />
-- appear to be exceptions to the rule, with large<br />
government sectors but high economic growth. Some<br />
economists speculate these countries are able to<br />
counteract the adverse effects on growth of<br />
government size with pro-business regulatory and<br />
research policies.<br />
Now, what are the findings about government size<br />
and the economy at the state level? Unfortunately, the<br />
many studies done by economists linking the two are<br />
less than conclusive. Perhaps the best that can be said<br />
is that any effect that does exist is very small.<br />
There may be two reasons for this conclusion. First,<br />
the relative size of government at the state and local<br />
level is much smaller than the relative size of the<br />
federal government, so changes at the federal level<br />
will often have more impact. Also, most of the states<br />
are clustered within a couple of percentage points in<br />
measures for the relative size of their state and local<br />
governments.<br />
Second, there are a whole host of other factors that<br />
impact state economic growth besides the size of<br />
government, factors like the type and importance of<br />
different economic sectors in the state, the cost of doing<br />
business, worker training and skills, access to raw<br />
materials and markets, natural amenities and even<br />
the climate..<br />
People will continue to argue about the size of<br />
government, and economists will continue to churn<br />
out new studies looking at the impacts of government<br />
size and spending on the economy. Maybe the issue<br />
will never be resolved, but we’ll still try to decide!<br />
being recognized for their<br />
exceptional academic<br />
promise. Although they<br />
will not continue in the<br />
2014 competition for<br />
National Merit Scholarship<br />
awards, Commended<br />

entered the 2014<br />
competition by taking the<br />
2012 Preliminary SAT/<br />
National Merit Scholarship<br />
Qualifying Test<br />
(PSAT/NMSQT®).<br />
“The young men and<br />
women being named<br />
Commended Students<br />
have demonstrated<br />
outstanding potential for<br />
academic success,” commented<br />
a spokesperson<br />
for NMSC. “These<br />
students represent a<br />
valuable national resource;<br />
recognizing their<br />
accomplishments, as well<br />
as the key role their<br />
schools play in their<br />
academic development, is<br />
vital to the advancement<br />
of educational excellence<br />
in our nation. We hope<br />
that this recognition will<br />
help broaden their<br />
educational opportunities<br />
and encourage them as<br />
they continue their<br />
pursuit of academic<br />
success.”<br />

REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENTS<br />
BEFORE YEAR-End<br />
This is a good time of year to review your<br />
investments. If you’re not meeting your financial<br />
goals for the year, there’s still time to make changes.<br />
Make sure your portfolio is appropriately balanced<br />
among stocks, bonds, and other investments. Keep it<br />
well diversified, without too much at risk in any one<br />
sector. And you’ll want to weed out investments with<br />
poor future prospects.<br />
As you identify investments to buy and sell, keep<br />
the following tax implications in mind:<br />
When you sell assets, you’ll have a capital gain<br />
or loss. Remember that capital gains on assets held<br />
for more than 12 months enjoy lower tax rates. For<br />
shorter holding periods, you’ll pay tax at ordinary<br />
income rates.<br />
Don’t forget to include any reinvested dividends<br />
when you calculate your cost basis for mutual fund<br />
shares.<br />
You can use capital losses to offset capital gains.<br />
Excess capital losses can even offset a limited amount<br />
of ordinary income.<br />
Watch out for the "wash sale rule." If you sell<br />
stock and then reacquire substantially identical<br />
securities within 30 days of a sale, you can’t deduct a<br />
loss from the sale.<br />
The law passed in January of this year sets the<br />
tax rate on long-term capital gains and qualified<br />
dividends at 20% for taxpayers in the 39.6% ordinary<br />
income bracket. Taxpayers in the two lowest ordinary<br />
income rates (10% and 15%) will have a 0% rate on<br />
capital gains and dividends. Those in all other<br />
brackets will continue to have a 15% rate on dividends<br />
and long-term capital gains.<br />
Changing investments within a tax-sheltered<br />
retirement account doesn’t have any immediate tax<br />
consequences. You’ll pay tax at ordinary income rates<br />
when you take distributions.<br />
Remember, taxes shouldn’t drive your investment<br />
decisions, but they are an important factor to consider.<br />

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer<br />
Help For Seniors Who Are<br />
Drowning In Clutter<br />
Dear Savvy Senior,<br />
My 67-year-old mother’s house has become a<br />
cluttered mess. Since my father died a few years ago,<br />
her house is so disorganized and messy with stuff that<br />
it’s becoming a hazard. I think she has a hoarding<br />
problem. What can I do?<br />
Worried Daughter<br />
Dear Worried,<br />
Compulsive cluttering is a problem that effects up<br />
to five percent of Americans – many of whom are<br />
seniors – with problems ranging anywhere from mild<br />
messiness to hoarding so severe it may be related to<br />
a mental health disorder like obsessive-compulsive<br />
disorder (OCD). Here’s what you should know, along<br />
with some tips and resources that can help your mom.<br />
Why People Hoard<br />
The reasons most people hoard are because they<br />
have an extreme sentimental attachment to their<br />
possessions, or they believe they might need their<br />
items at a later date. Hoarding also may be a sign<br />
that an older person is depressed, or showing early<br />
symptoms of dementia.<br />
Common problems for seniors who live in excessive<br />
clutter are tripping, falling and breaking a bone;<br />
overlooking bills and missing medications that are<br />
hidden in the clutter; and suffering from the<br />
environmental effects of mold, mildew and dust, and<br />
even living among insects and rodents.<br />
What To Do<br />
To get a handle on your mom’s problem, the<br />
Institute for Challenging Disorganization offers a free<br />
"Clutter Hoarding Scale" that you can download off<br />
their website at challengingdisorganization.org.<br />
If you find that your mom has only a mild<br />
cluttering problem, there are a number of things you<br />
can do to help.<br />
Start by having a talk with her, respectfully<br />
expressing your concern for her health and safety, and<br />
offering your assistance to help her declutter.<br />
If she takes you up on it, most professional<br />
organizers recommend decluttering in small steps.<br />
Take one room at a time or even a portion of a room at<br />
a time. This will help prevent your mom from getting<br />
overwhelmed.<br />
Before you start, designate three piles or boxes<br />
for your mom’s stuff – one pile is for items she wants<br />
to keep-and-put-away, another is the donate pile and<br />
the last is the throwaway pile.<br />
You and your mom will need to determine which<br />
pile her things belong in as you work. If your mom<br />
struggles with sentimental items that she doesn’t use,<br />
like her husband’s old tools or mother’s china for<br />
example, suggest she keep only one item for memory<br />
sake and donate the rest to family members who will<br />
use them.<br />
You will also need to help her set up a system for<br />
organizing the kept items and new possessions.<br />
Find Help<br />
If you need some help with the decluttering and<br />
organizing, consider hiring a professional organizer<br />
who can come to your mom’s home to help you<br />
prioritize, organize and remove the clutter. The<br />
nonprofit group National Association of Professional<br />
Organizers has a directory on the website at napo.net<br />
to help you locate an expert in your area.<br />
If she has a bigger, more serious hording problem<br />
(if her daily functioning is impaired, or if she is having<br />
financial difficulties, health problems, or other issues<br />
because of her hoarding) you’ll need to seek<br />
professional help. Antidepressants and/or talk therapy<br />
can help address control issues, anxiety, depression,<br />
and other feelings that may underline hoarding<br />
tendencies, and make it easier for her to confront her<br />
disorder.<br />
To learn more and find professional help see the<br />
OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org/hoarding) which<br />
provides a hoarding center on their website that offers<br />
information, resources, treatments, self-help groups,<br />
and more.. Also see hoardingcleanup.com, a site that<br />
has a national database of qualified resources<br />
including cleaning companies and therapists that can<br />
help.<br />

Lessons from “Save For Retirement Week”<br />
Congress has designated the third week of October<br />
as National Save for Retirement week - which means<br />
it’s a good time to think about your own retirement<br />
savings strategies.<br />
To help boost your prospects for a comfortable<br />
retirement, consider these suggestions::<br />
First, envision your retirement goals and estimate<br />
their costs. Knowing how much you’ll need to<br />
accumulate can help you develop appropriate<br />
investment strategies.<br />
And, of course, contribute as much as you can<br />
afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employersponsored<br />
retirement plan. Within these retirement<br />
accounts, consider putting appropriate amounts in<br />
growth-oriented vehicles.<br />
You’ll also need to review your progress toward<br />
your retirement goals. If your portfolio is<br />
underperforming, you may need to make some<br />
changes. And, in the years immediately preceding<br />
your retirement, you may want to shift some dollars<br />
into income-producing investments.<br />
National Save for Retirement Week comes just<br />
once a year. Take its message to heart.<br />

Vikings Survive 67-57 Slugfest<br />
South Granville out<br />
slugged the Franklinton<br />
Red Rams 67-57 in<br />
football. Sean Bowman<br />
netted 403 rushing yards<br />
on 22 carries in the<br />
conference opener.<br />
The opening drive for<br />
the Vikings set the tone<br />
for the game. Matt<br />
McCutcheon found Craig<br />
Wilkie wide open on the<br />
right side of the field.<br />
Wilkie took the reception<br />
in for a touchdown from<br />
58 yards out. Kaleb<br />
Chamberlain converted<br />
the extra point and the<br />
Vikings led 7-0.<br />
The Red Rams<br />
answered with an 85 yard<br />
kickoff return for a<br />
touchdown and tied the<br />
score 7-7 with 11:30 left in<br />
the first quarter.<br />
McCutcheon found<br />
Abraham Barron open for<br />
a 24 yard gain followed by<br />
Sean Bowman slashing<br />
through the Franklinton<br />
defenders for a 54 yard<br />
gain. Greg McCalop<br />
scored from the one yard<br />
line and Chamberlain<br />
added the extra point to<br />
give the Vikings a 14-7<br />
lead.<br />
Bowman scored from<br />
five yards out with 2:42 to<br />
go in the first quarter.<br />
Chamberlain added the<br />
PAT and the Vikings led<br />
21-7.<br />
The Vikings took over<br />
on downs at the 35 yard<br />
line as the Red Rams<br />
failed to convert on fourth<br />
down.<br />
The stage was set for<br />
McCutcheon to fire<br />
another touchdown pass<br />
to Wilkie from 30 yards<br />
out. The PAT was good<br />
and the Vikings held a<br />
comfortable 28-7 lead.<br />
Franklinton answered<br />
with a nine yard<br />
touchdown pass from<br />
Daquan Neal to Brandon<br />
Fuller. Jacob Woodward<br />
converted the PAT and the<br />
Red Rams trailed 28-14<br />
with 2:11 to go in the first<br />
half.<br />
The Vikings responded<br />
with an eight play drive<br />
that ended with a one<br />
yard run by Earl Green.<br />
The PAT was good and the<br />
Vikings led 35-14 with 31<br />
seconds left in the first<br />
half.<br />
Omari Armstrong<br />
intercepted a Red Rams<br />
pass to give the Vikings<br />
good field position.<br />
McCutcheon’s pass was<br />
picked off and<br />
Franklinton scored form<br />
35 yards out. The Vikings<br />
led 35-21 at the half.<br />
Franklinton took the<br />
second half kickoff, but<br />
could not move the ball.<br />
Bowman ran the ball five<br />
times for 70 yards<br />
including a 23 yard<br />
touchdown. The extra<br />
point was good and the<br />
Vikings held a 42-21 lead.<br />
Greg McCalop had the<br />
defensive gem of the game<br />
catching a tipped ball<br />
while flat on his back.<br />
This gave the Vikings<br />
another opportunity to<br />
score.<br />
Bowman bounced his<br />
way down the field for an<br />
80 yard touchdown. The<br />
Vikings did not convert<br />
the extra point after a<br />
bobbled snap. The score<br />
stood at 48-21 with 6:32 to<br />
go in the third quarter.<br />
Franklinton ran off 21<br />
straight points to cut the<br />
lead to 48-42 with just<br />
over a minute remaining<br />
in the third quarter.<br />
The Vikings answered<br />
on the next series that<br />
featured a 45 yard<br />
reception by Earl Green<br />
and a 6 yard touchdown<br />
catch by C.J. Hurt. The<br />
Vikings led 54-42 with<br />
10:29 to go in the game.<br />
Franklinton was<br />
determined to stay in the<br />
game and scored again at<br />
the 6:52 mark to cut the<br />
lead to 54-49.<br />
McCutcheon capped a<br />
47 yard drive with a seven<br />
yard touchdown run to<br />
give the Vikings a 60-49<br />
lead.<br />
McCalop’s nine yard<br />
touchdown with 1:46<br />
remaining gave the<br />
Vikings a little cushion at<br />
67-49.<br />
Franklinton scored<br />
and converted the two<br />
point play to cut the lead<br />
to 10 at 67-57.<br />
South Granville was<br />
able to hold off the hard<br />
charging Red Rams for<br />
the conference win.<br />

H Rockers Supporter.<br />
How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? I have lived in<br />
Creedmoor since<br />
December, 2007. This<br />
was around the time that<br />
Creedmoor officials were<br />
expanding the tax base by<br />
adding additional homes<br />
on the East side of<br />
Creedmoor.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I am seeking office<br />
because I care about the<br />
future of Creedmoor; my<br />
chosen home. Currently<br />
there is not one City<br />
Commissioner<br />
representing the fast<br />
growing segment of<br />
Creedmoor since District<br />
6 County Commission<br />
Tim Karen. This election<br />
is about the future<br />
direction of Creedmoor<br />
and who can best provide<br />
the diversity of opinion<br />
most needed by our<br />
diverse community.<br />
My experience and<br />
background will provide a<br />
greater diversity of<br />
opinion to the decisions<br />
made by City officials.<br />
Creedmoor’s greatest<br />
expansion has been to the<br />
East and based on<br />
geography, this is the<br />
likely direction for our<br />
future. And, if Creedmoor<br />
is to be the Inclusive<br />
Community that it<br />
proclaims on the Welcome<br />
Sign entering the City<br />
from Highway 50, then<br />
ALL voices must be<br />
heard. I am an advocate<br />
for Smart Water<br />
M a n a g e m e n t ,<br />
Transparency in<br />
Government, Meaningful<br />
Outreach, to our youth,<br />
seniors, businesses, and<br />
entire community.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
1. Provide greater<br />
feedback to residents<br />
concerning issues<br />
affecting the community.<br />
Regularly participate in<br />
Town Hall meetings, visit<br />
community homeowner<br />
association meetings and<br />
proactively solicit input<br />
from residents with a<br />
focus on addressing the<br />
needs of our youth so we<br />
can provide greater after<br />
school and recreational<br />
opportunities for their<br />
growing numbers in our<br />
community. This can<br />
curtail potential gang<br />
activity, stimulate growth<br />
and involvement, while<br />
providing attractive<br />
consideration for those<br />
considering moving to<br />
Creedmoor. This<br />
prevents crime, saves tax<br />
dollars, and provides<br />
guidance and direction to<br />
the underserved youth in<br />
our community.<br />
Too few programs<br />
exist and those that do<br />
are limited. For example,<br />
The Creedmoor Police<br />
Department’s new Youth<br />
Explorers Program is a<br />
great effort however,<br />
access limited to 20<br />
participants.<br />
The Creedmoor 4-H<br />
Rockers Organization has<br />
a success record of<br />
building rock solid<br />
citizens through their<br />
outreach and member<br />
activities; however, with<br />
limited resources,<br />
diversity and minority<br />
participation.<br />
As a community, we<br />
must appeal to the varied<br />
interests, attentions and<br />
numbers of our most<br />
precious commodity —<br />
our youth.<br />
2. Smart Water<br />
Management - Monitor<br />
and publicly report to the<br />
residents how General<br />
Fund (general tax dollars)<br />
and Enterprise Fund<br />
(dollars for water and<br />
sewer) are spent. It is not<br />
enough to know what<br />
projects are underway as<br />
is the custom now by<br />
listing projects in the BC<br />
News, but we must also<br />
inform residents about<br />
how we are managing<br />
those funds. We need to<br />
join SGWASA<br />
immediately, without<br />
proviso and save our<br />
residents the additional<br />
financial burdens<br />
associated with high<br />
water bills.<br />
3. I will request a<br />
strategic planning<br />
session with officials from<br />
Granville County;<br />
Butner; Stem and<br />
business leaders from the<br />
Wilton area to determine<br />
key issues and concerns<br />
for the region and how<br />
best to collaborate while<br />
moving forward. It is<br />
common knowledge that<br />
greater cooperation is<br />
needed between<br />
Creedmoor, Butner, Stem<br />
and Wilton if the region<br />
is going to prosper.<br />
This will allow us to<br />
collaborate with the<br />
business community to<br />
develop a plan to assist<br />
and promote small<br />
business in Creedmoor.<br />
Our Impact Fees are too<br />
high which curtails<br />
business growth in our<br />
community. Evidence of<br />
this is that since 2008 we<br />
have only built one<br />
privately owned small<br />
business in Creedmoor<br />
(Champs Tire). The other<br />
four businesses<br />
constructed in Creedmoor<br />
are owned by<br />
corporations (Family<br />
Fare, CVS, Cardinal/<br />
Union Bank and soon to<br />
be Walgreen’s). There is<br />
tremendous talent in<br />
Creedmoor but nothing is<br />
visibly being done to<br />
promote small business<br />
growth which can mean<br />
jobs.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): From 2000 to<br />
2010, the population of<br />
Creedmoor nearly<br />
doubled. This election<br />
must be about the future<br />
direction of Creedmoor.<br />
New residents came to<br />
Creedmoor for affordable<br />
homes, small town<br />
charm; access to jobs and<br />
low tax rates. Lifelong<br />
and new residents need to<br />
know how leaders intend<br />
to maintain the regional<br />
charm and improve and<br />
increase their quality of<br />
life. My extensive travel<br />
and knowledge of what<br />
has happened in other<br />
communities, my<br />
involvement in our<br />
community affairs, my<br />
work as a teacher and my<br />
training in areas such as<br />
law, real estate, banking<br />
and finance allows me to<br />
provide a unique<br />
perspective to local issues.<br />
I bring knowledge, energy,<br />
enthusiasm, and diversity<br />
to Creedmoor and I look<br />
forward to being a voice<br />
for a community that<br />
deserves to be heard.<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? I have lived in<br />
Creedmoor since 1960.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): Creedmoor is a<br />
growing community. I<br />
would like to see that the<br />
growth is orderly and<br />
Creedmoor keeps its<br />
friendly and small town<br />
image. The city<br />
management team that is<br />
now in place<br />
professionally represents<br />
our citizens and their<br />
interest. I have taken part<br />
in building this team and<br />
wish to continue serving<br />
with them.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
My top priorities are<br />
recreation and economic<br />
development. Our young<br />
and more mature<br />
residents deserve more<br />
r e c r e a t i o n a l<br />
opportunities. This<br />
obviously takes money<br />
and we are actively<br />
pursuing grants.<br />
In the economic<br />
development department<br />
area, we are looking for<br />
new businesses and stores<br />
so our citizens may shop<br />
at home and keep our<br />
hard earned dollars in<br />
Creedmoor to benefit<br />
Creedmoor. The city has<br />
loan funds available to<br />
assist with new growth<br />
opportunities. These<br />
funds can be borrowed<br />
from the city, then repaid<br />
to assist the next business<br />
owner.<br />
My final priority is to<br />
keep Creedmoor safe and<br />
great place to live, work<br />
and play by taking each<br />
issue that comes before<br />
the Board and studying it<br />
and being an advocate of<br />
the community.<br />

Attendance is in 200 to<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? Bought<br />
property here in 1985 to<br />
develop. Have developed<br />
and maintained rental<br />
property since 1985.<br />
Actually moved here in<br />
2005.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I perceive that the<br />
commissioners may mean<br />
well, but seem to be<br />
governing against the will<br />
of the citizens. There is<br />
only one cure for that —<br />
run for the office, and let<br />
the voters, the real<br />
bosses, decide how they<br />
wish to be governed and<br />
by whom.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
1) Put to bed once and<br />
for all the question of the<br />
high water and sewer<br />
rates here. Could the<br />
citizens benefit by<br />
actually merging the<br />
Creedmoor system into<br />
the SGWASA regional<br />
utility system? This has<br />
been going on since 2008,<br />
and long overdue.<br />
2) Oppose, with vigor,<br />
any tax or fee increase of<br />
any description, unless<br />
there is a major reason<br />
and clear demand from<br />
the voters for said<br />
increase. The voters are<br />
the real bosses<br />
3) Listen to the<br />
concerns of the citizens,<br />
plus actually hear and<br />
respond appropriately to<br />
their concerns.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? Since 1978<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I’m running for the<br />
office of Commissioner<br />
because I love my city and<br />
people. I want to continue<br />
serving this city to the<br />
best of my ability in the<br />
future. I want to be part<br />
of the decision making for<br />
our citizens, to make this<br />
a better place to live and<br />
play.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
1) Water & sewer. We<br />
have already done a<br />
resolution to South<br />
Granville Water & Sewer<br />
Authority to take over<br />
our water and sewer<br />
lines. But, I think we<br />
need to work hard<br />
together making sure<br />
that southern Granville<br />
County resources are<br />
managed properly for all<br />
people.<br />
2) Public Safety: We<br />
need to make sure our<br />
officers have what they<br />
need to protect them<br />
while they are taking<br />
care of our homes and<br />
businesses. We need to<br />
work on grants that are<br />
available to help our<br />
department.<br />
3) Recreation: Our<br />
city staff to continue<br />
working on grants for<br />
funds to use the land we<br />
already have for our<br />
community needs. I know<br />
that our recreation<br />
committee will work hard<br />
together to plan our<br />
future needs in<br />
recreation.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): I have the<br />
experience to serve my<br />
community in the future.<br />
I’m honest, determined,<br />
dependable, and<br />
dedicated to serve others.<br />
I pledge to citizens of<br />
Creedmoor if they vote for<br />
me I will always put them<br />
first. I’ve served my<br />
citizens for 26 years and<br />
I have an open door policy<br />
to call on me any time. I<br />
would appreciate your<br />
vote.<br />

Why are you running<br />

Butner from its beginning<br />
as a community, I am<br />
committed to seeing it<br />

community is strong, and<br />
I know the citizens care<br />
for each other. Together<br />
we can continue to grow<br />
as a unique and strong<br />
community, a place for<br />
families to prosper and<br />
businesses can be<br />

that includes a Tool Box<br />
that will research the how<br />
to optimize retention<br />
ponds. Each Council<br />

this project.<br />
Butner Gateway - Exit<br />
189/Exit 191: This is a<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? 23 years.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I am running for the<br />
opportunity to keep<br />
serving the town’s<br />
bedrock, its people.<br />
Working together, we can<br />
improve and refine our<br />
community for<br />
generations to come.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
1) Growth is perhaps<br />
the most crucial priority.<br />
I think this must be done<br />
responsibly to best benefit<br />
our citizens. We cannot let<br />
it creep up on us. We need<br />
and are working on a<br />
proactive comprehensive<br />
master plan to control it.<br />
As we plan industrial,<br />
commercial, and<br />
residential growth, we<br />
must also plan for<br />
services<br />
and<br />
infrastructure to keep up,<br />
with a vigilant eye on the<br />
budget.<br />
2) Community<br />
improvement is another<br />
important priority. I will<br />
seek programs and<br />
facilities for our citizens,<br />
such as tutoring and<br />
mentoring for our youth,<br />
senior housing for our<br />
time-honored citizens, a<br />
farmer’s market and<br />
entertainment events.<br />
3) Crime Control is a<br />
vital priority to our town.<br />
I will continue to work<br />
with our new Public<br />
Safety and the<br />
community to ensure a<br />
secure place to live and<br />
work.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): I am dedicated to<br />
responsibly serving the<br />
people of Butner. I have<br />
the experience, education<br />
and abilities to perform<br />
the duties of a Council<br />
member.<br />
Working with my<br />
fellow council, and the<br />
mayor, we have<br />
accomplished much. I<br />
worked hard to improve<br />
Gazebo Park with a<br />
restroom and water<br />
fountain. I served on<br />
many committees and<br />
chair the one honoring<br />
our veterans. I represent<br />
Butner at local, county<br />
and state events. I will<br />
faithfully continue to<br />
work hard for the people.<br />
With<br />
open<br />
communications, I will<br />
continue to meet the<br />
challenge of serving you.<br />
Together we can improve<br />
our town.<br />

lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? Since 1972<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I am familiar with<br />
previous and current<br />
issues in Butner and<br />
Granville County as well<br />
as State issues. I am<br />
aware of problems that<br />
residents have and listen<br />
to their issues and follow<br />
through when possible to<br />
obtain answers for them.<br />
I do not promise to do<br />
things unless I believe I<br />
can get them<br />
accomplished. I vote<br />
according to what I think<br />
are the wishes of the<br />
voters and not just my<br />
personal feelings. I have<br />
been contacted by<br />
residents encouraging me<br />
to run for this office in this<br />
election to represent them<br />
and in their words “stand<br />
up for the people.”<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />

priorities include, but not<br />

residents’ concerns and<br />
following up on those<br />
concerns. If I do not have<br />
an answer, find out where<br />
they need to go for an<br />
answer when possible.<br />
2) Promote tourism for<br />
appearance of Lake Holt,<br />
the ball fields, buildings<br />
general appearance of<br />
industrial growth which<br />
will bring more jobs for<br />
our residents. Listen<br />
carefully to applicants<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? I have lived<br />
here for 6 plus years.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less) Vision - to make<br />
ideas a reality! This<br />
journey is still moving<br />
forward. Looking on the<br />
horizon I want to continue<br />
fiscal responsibility,<br />
minimize tax burden to<br />
the citizens, continue<br />
economic growth while<br />
preserving our<br />
community, transit<br />
system access. Maintain<br />
an open door policy for the<br />
citizens to voice their<br />
opinion and/or state<br />
issues they have. Overall<br />
a great deal has been<br />
accomplished while I<br />
have been in office and I<br />
definitely want to<br />
continue this vision as a<br />
Butner<br />
Town<br />
Councilman.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
Increase our Revenue<br />
Base - Creating an<br />
atmosphere of<br />
cooperation with Butner<br />
Town Council, Granville<br />
County Government/<br />
Chamber of Commerce<br />
and The NC League of<br />
Municipalities for<br />
developing strategies to<br />
attract businesses to our<br />
area.<br />
Continue my<br />
commitment to fiscal<br />
responsibility. Always<br />
review the budget in<br />
detail with the Town<br />
Council, Financial Officer<br />
and Town Manager to<br />
make sure all cost are<br />
justified and all efforts to<br />
minimize taxes to the<br />
taxpayer are performed.<br />
Allow growth but not<br />
to sacrifice our Small<br />
Town atmosphere. Work<br />
with the Planning Board,<br />
Board of Adjustments,<br />
Kerr-Tar Council of<br />
Government, and Butner<br />
Town Council to develop<br />
a plan for growth without<br />
disturbing the charm of<br />
our town.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): I believe the best<br />
way to facilitate change is<br />
to get involved in<br />
community and<br />
g o v e r n m e n t<br />
organizations. I have<br />
done just that in the time<br />
I have lived in Butner.<br />
This enabled me to learn<br />
who is in our community<br />
and what aspects of our<br />
town they like and what<br />
needs to change. Being a<br />
Town Councilman was a<br />
way to effect the changes<br />
asked by the citizens in<br />
the community and so it<br />
is understood that they<br />
have a voice with me as<br />
councilman.<br />

lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? I have lived in<br />
the Stem area for 16 years<br />
and in the town limits<br />
going on 6 years.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): My reason for seeking<br />
the Mayor seat is simple. “I<br />
truly love our community!”<br />
We desperately need new<br />
leadership without<br />
controversy. For the first<br />
time in years the Board of<br />
Commissioners works<br />
together and wants to see<br />
our town thrive. Our<br />
citizens deserve<br />
p r o f e s s i o n a l<br />
representation they can be<br />
proud of.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will you<br />
get them done? (In 100<br />
words or less):<br />
Town organization,<br />
which encompasses many<br />
things from getting our<br />
town documents back in<br />
the town hall, to<br />
remodeling our current<br />
town hall for future use.<br />
Build a new town hall,<br />
police station and<br />
community center for our<br />
citizens.<br />
The #1 complaint from<br />
citizens is they want<br />
increased law enforcement.<br />
It’s time to hire full time<br />
police officers with the<br />
increased population and<br />
incidents in Stem that get<br />
involved in our community.<br />
We will continue to<br />
work with our regional<br />
planner to assist us in<br />
accomplishing our goals<br />
with professional guidance<br />
and insight into grants for<br />
our town.<br />
Why should voters vote<br />
for you? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I am asking for my<br />
neighbors to vote for me as<br />
their Mayor. I will<br />
represent our town with<br />
professionalism, will work<br />

our town, listen to our<br />

Education: I am a<br />
graduate of Southport<br />
High School, in Southport<br />
North Carolina, where I<br />
was the salutatorian for<br />
my class; and have<br />
certification in computer<br />
technology from<br />
Brunswick Community<br />
College in Supply, North<br />
Carolina. Over the past<br />
30+ years, I have held<br />
several positions, in the<br />
workplace, that required<br />
extensive clerical,<br />
administrative and<br />
managerial training.<br />
Work Experience:<br />
Previously held the<br />
position of clerk for the<br />
Town of Stem. For several<br />
years I was the Public<br />
Relations Administrator<br />
for JM Manufacturing in<br />
Butner. Before relocating<br />
to the Stem area, I retired<br />
from the Progress Energy<br />
Nuclear Site, located in<br />
Southport, North<br />
Carolina, as the Fleet<br />
Service Manager. These<br />
positions afforded me<br />
several opportunities to<br />
travel and promote the<br />
objectives of the<br />
companies I represented.<br />
Military Service (if<br />
any): I was not active<br />
military personnel;<br />
however, I was married to<br />
a Command Sergeant<br />
Major in the United<br />
States Army for 32 years,<br />
and fully support and<br />
endorse our military.<br />
Community & Civic<br />
Service: Civic service is a<br />
privilege<br />
and<br />
responsibility that I<br />
believe in and encourage<br />
others to volunteer their<br />
time and energy too. I am<br />
a loyal supporter and<br />
advocate for Families<br />
Living Violence Free, a<br />
non-profit outreach<br />
program in Oxford, that<br />
helps to provide<br />
assistance to the victims<br />
and survivors of domestic<br />
abuse. The Granville<br />
County Relay for Life is<br />
another local event that I<br />
endorse and help to<br />
promote. I have<br />
participated and assisted<br />
with the “Meals On<br />
Wheels” program in<br />
Granville County,<br />
specifically the Stem<br />
area. My dedication to<br />
community and civic<br />
service extends into the<br />
aid and outreach that my<br />
church, New Birth<br />
Worship Center, sponsors<br />
throughout the Butner-<br />
Stem-Creedmoor areas.<br />
How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? I relocated to<br />
the Stem area 7 years ago,<br />
and in that time have<br />
grown to love and<br />
appreciate the small town<br />
feel that it offers to<br />
residents.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): Personally, I view<br />
the opportunity of<br />
becoming a commissioner,<br />
as a chance to address<br />
and promote the concerns<br />
and interests of the town;<br />
and, accomplishing this<br />
by cultivating and<br />
encouraging interaction<br />
between the citizens and<br />
elected officials. I am<br />
dedicated to an effective<br />
way, and plan to<br />
accomplish this by listing<br />
to what citizen’s say.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less): If<br />
elected, there are several<br />
initiatives that I am eager<br />
to accomplish. First it is<br />
imperative to insure the<br />
continued maintenance<br />
and improvement of the<br />
town’s infrastructure,<br />
such as streets, signage,<br />
street lamps and<br />
aesthetic development.<br />
There is a desire to<br />
renovate the town hall/<br />
police station. As a<br />
commissioner, my<br />
obligation is to seek out<br />
and support the most<br />
economically responsible<br />
solution for this. The<br />
“Kiddie Park”, located on<br />
Franklin Street, is in<br />
need of updating with the<br />
intention of making it<br />
appealing to children of<br />
various ages. I fully<br />
support endeavors to<br />
create and establish<br />
“Greenways” in the town,<br />
which will help provide<br />
fitness, health and<br />
recreation while<br />
maintaining natural<br />
conservation.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): The Town of Stem<br />
is growing, and it is<br />
important to encourage<br />
both expansion and<br />
inclusion; while<br />
preserving the town’s<br />
history and overall<br />
appeal. The position that<br />
I am seeking should be<br />
viewed as having a job<br />
description that requires<br />
p e r f o r m a n c e<br />
expectations. I am<br />
committed to excellence<br />
professionalism, integrity<br />
while conducting<br />
business with<br />
and achieving results.<br />

in the future. This will<br />
require more police<br />
protection in the form of<br />
a full time officer.<br />
2) Pedestrian Plan-<br />
We are currently creating<br />
a pedestrian plan that<br />
includes building<br />
sidewalks and trails<br />
within the town. I would<br />
like to see this plan<br />
through it’s completion.<br />
3)Town Hall- The<br />
town is in need of a<br />
municipal building. We<br />
have a town resident who<br />
has knowledge in grant<br />
writing and has<br />
volunteered to help the<br />
town find the appropriate<br />
grants to assist with<br />
funding.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): Voters should<br />
vote for me because I have<br />
shown that I will work for<br />
what is in the best<br />
interest of all of the<br />
residents, not just special<br />
interests.<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? We purchased<br />
a home in the Carriage<br />
Hill subdivision in 2010.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I decided to run for<br />
Town Commissioner to<br />
help bring some<br />
transparency to our town<br />
council. I want to ensure<br />
that as a home owner in<br />
one of the three<br />
developments in the Town<br />
of Stem, we have<br />
representation on the<br />
Town Council. Using<br />
team work and common<br />
sense we can make this<br />
happen.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
1) Transparency: I<br />
want<br />
greater<br />
transparency and<br />
accountability in our local<br />
government.<br />
2) Greater<br />
communication and<br />
interaction with the<br />
citizens of Stem. I would<br />
like to see more<br />

Stem website,<br />
w ww.stemnc.org.<br />
Concentrated effort to<br />
communicate to and with<br />
the citizens of Stem and<br />
get them involved.<br />
3) Common sense<br />
growth. Working with the<br />
Mayor and Town council<br />
to ensure the growth is<br />
good for Stem and not a<br />
burden on the community.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): I am asking the<br />
voters of Stem to vote for<br />
me as I am not the<br />
establishment. I would<br />
bring a fresh perspective<br />
to this role. As a home<br />
owner in one of the three<br />
developments in Stem I<br />
want to be the voice of<br />
those home owners.<br />
Ensuring their voice is<br />
heard. With common<br />
sense and team work<br />
growing the town while<br />
protecting its small town<br />
appeal and values.<br />

Morgan, Reagan, Addison<br />

Education: Southern<br />

NC, Vance-Granville<br />

Work Experience: Six<br />
years at Durham Housing<br />

worked for the<br />
Community Development<br />

Durham on housing and<br />
community improvement<br />
projects over the last 13<br />
years.<br />
Military Service (if<br />
any): N/A<br />
Community & Civic<br />
Service: I serve on<br />
Granville Greenways<br />
Advisory Council. I served<br />
as the first board member<br />
on the Stem planning<br />
board but had to resign<br />
from that position when I<br />
was appointed as<br />
Commissioner on the<br />
Stem Town Board in<br />
2012.<br />
Over the last year in<br />
civic service I worked<br />
jointly to bring new<br />
business to downtown<br />
Stem, assessed properties<br />
proposed for the new<br />
Town Hall site, and<br />
helped solve a local road<br />
safety issue for the State<br />
Department of<br />
Transportation district<br />
engineers.<br />
How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? Have lived in<br />
Stem for 9 years.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I chose to move to<br />
Stem in 2004 to raise my<br />
young family in a small<br />
town. Three of our four<br />
girls are in the Granville<br />
County school system<br />
where my wife and I are<br />
very involved on their<br />
behalf.<br />
I am running for re<br />
election to continue<br />
ongoing work in Stem.<br />
Some of that work<br />
includes hiring a full time<br />
public safety officer,<br />
building a new town hall<br />
building and begin<br />
installing sidewalks with<br />
additional walking trails.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less): Stem<br />
is a growing town with<br />
great diversity. We have<br />
received comments from<br />
citizens that help us<br />
prepare for the needs in<br />
our community. Our<br />
citizens believe that a<br />
public safety officer is the<br />
most important action we<br />
can take right now, and I<br />
agree.<br />
Secondly a new Town<br />
Hall with adequate<br />
meeting space that<br />
represents a thriving<br />
community. The new<br />
building would have<br />
multi-functions including<br />
a new police department<br />
and community center.<br />
Lastly, Stem has been<br />
working on a pedestrian<br />
plan with trails<br />
connecting us with other<br />
communities. It is my<br />
hope we can begin<br />
installing the sidewalks<br />
and walk ways for our<br />
families to enjoy.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): I would ask Stem<br />
voters to re elect Kevin<br />
Easter so our town work<br />
can move forward. I have<br />
13 years of community<br />
development experience<br />
to my credit and I am<br />
already on the Board<br />
doing the job. If re-elected<br />
citizens will have a<br />
commissioner dedicated<br />
to service for community.<br />

fiscal management for<br />

Military Service (if<br />
any): none<br />
Community & Civic<br />
Service: Most of my<br />
community service has<br />
revolved around baseball,<br />
which our son was very<br />
active in. I have enjoyed<br />
volunteering with the<br />
SGAA, Butner-Stem<br />
Middle School athletics<br />
and Granville Central<br />
High School athletics<br />
throughout our son’s<br />
athletic endeavors. I was<br />
one of the founding<br />
members of the GC<br />
Diamond Club, serving as<br />
President for 2+ years, and<br />
worked with the PTO at<br />
Granville Central as well.<br />
Another important<br />
type of community service<br />
that I participate in is with<br />
the American Red Cross,<br />
where I am a regular<br />
Platelet donor. Platelets<br />
are in as great a need as<br />
blood but with only 8% of<br />
the population donating<br />
blood or other related<br />
products, everyone’s help<br />
is needed. I have donated<br />
over 19 gallons for those<br />
patients in need of<br />
transfusions due to cancer<br />
or other disorders.<br />
How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? We have lived<br />
in Stem proper for 16<br />
years, but have lived in the<br />
area for 27 years.<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I am running for<br />
office in hopes of being able<br />
to create a better<br />
environment for the town<br />
and it’s citizens. Stem is<br />
growing and I would like<br />
to be involved with<br />
ensuring that the new<br />
endeavors will promote<br />
the town and provide back<br />
to the town over the years.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In 100<br />
words or less):<br />
Affect positive change.<br />
Change is necessary for<br />
growth but positive change<br />
ensures the town is<br />
reflected in such a way to<br />
attract outside business or<br />
new residents.<br />
Be an advocate for the<br />
community. Promoting<br />
our town, inside and<br />
outside, is important and<br />
communication is the key.<br />
A better system to keep<br />
people informed is needed.<br />
F i n a n c i a l<br />
management. Develop a<br />
standard mechanism for<br />
determining how money is<br />
spent. As for how, learning<br />
will be vital as a newbie,<br />
but I hope I don’t have to<br />
do this alone, that the<br />
Stem Town Council will<br />
work together to<br />
accomplish these<br />
endeavors.<br />
Why should voters vote<br />
for you? (In 50 words or<br />
less) I will say that I do<br />
have ideas and many<br />
questions. The only way<br />
to answer them is to get<br />
involved and keep those in<br />
mind that can’t. I’m a very<br />
detailed person, honest,<br />
and logical and I feel I can<br />
benefit Stem.<br />

How long have you<br />
lived in the town or city<br />
that you would like to<br />
represent? 10/1995 to<br />
present<br />
Why are you running<br />
for office? (In 50 words or<br />
less): I believe I can make<br />
a positive difference for<br />
the Town of Stem. I<br />
believe that the citizens<br />
can be the greatest<br />
resource I could have as a<br />
commissioner. The Town<br />
of Stem can move forward<br />
with commissioners that<br />
will devote time and effort<br />
to make good things<br />
happen, and I want to be<br />
one of them.<br />
What are your top 3<br />
priorities, and how will<br />
you get them done? (In<br />
100 words or less):<br />
1) As I tell the citizens<br />
of Stem, I am not running<br />
to fulfill my agenda, but<br />
to find out what the<br />
Town’s agenda is, and<br />
then do everything in my<br />
power to help make it<br />
happen.<br />
2) When the Town<br />
votes me in office they are<br />
placing trust in the fact<br />
that I will do what I say.<br />
Hence comes the<br />
statement that we all<br />
know “by the people, for<br />
the people.”<br />
3) My goal will be to<br />
help Stem to move<br />
forward and become a<br />
better place to live.<br />
Why should voters<br />
vote for you? (In 50 words<br />
or less): The voters should<br />
vote for who they consider<br />
the right person. I want<br />
the opportunity to prove<br />
I am the right person. It<br />
will take communication<br />
within the town, and<br />
dedication on my part to<br />
be a good commissioner. I<br />
believe I have what it<br />
takes given the<br />
opportunity.<br />

VGCC Receives Back-To-Work Grant<br />
Vance - Granville<br />
Community College was<br />
recently awarded<br />
$120,000 by the State<br />
Board of Community<br />
Colleges to implement<br />
the North Carolina<br />
Back-to-Work program<br />
established last year by<br />
the N.C. General<br />
Assembly. VGCC was<br />
one of 49 of the state’s 58<br />
community colleges<br />
receiving a total of<br />
$5,874,104 in such<br />
grants this year, with<br />
amounts ranging from<br />
$52,600 to $173,870.<br />
The NC Back-to-<br />
Work program was<br />
designed to help longterm<br />
unemployed North<br />
Carolinians obtain the<br />
training they need to<br />
successfully start new<br />
careers. At VGCC, the<br />
program will specifically<br />
provide approximately<br />
72 participants with<br />
training based on the<br />
Manufacturing Skill<br />
Standards Council<br />
(MSSC) curriculum, an<br />
industry training<br />
system focused on the<br />
core technical skills and<br />
knowledge needed by<br />
front-line workers in<br />
manufacturing and<br />
supply chain logistics.<br />
Students who<br />
successfully complete<br />
the program will earn a<br />
“Certified Production<br />
Technician” (CPT)<br />
credential. In addition to<br />
the manufacturing skills<br />
training, NC Back-to-<br />
Work Program<br />
participants will take<br />
the WorkKeys<br />
assessments leading to a<br />
Career Readiness<br />
Certificate (CRC).<br />
Also included in the<br />
program will be courses<br />
in employability skills<br />
such as resume writing,<br />
job search, and<br />
interviewing provided<br />
by the VGCC Human<br />
Resources Development<br />
(HRD) program.<br />
Participants will be<br />
assisted with on-the-jobtraining,<br />
job shadowing,<br />
and internship<br />
opportunities. The<br />
college’s program will<br />
target residents of<br />
Vance, Granville,<br />
Franklin, and Warren<br />
counties who are either<br />
u n e m p l o y e d ,<br />
underemployed,<br />
military veterans or<br />
members of the N.C.<br />
National Guard.<br />
“The NC Back-to-<br />
Work grant will help us<br />
in our ongoing efforts to<br />
place students in career<br />
fields that currently<br />
have openings and offer<br />
them more job security,”<br />
said VGCC Coordinator<br />
of Human Resources<br />
Development Kyle<br />
Burwell, who is helping<br />
lead the initiative at the<br />
college. “At the same<br />
time, NC Back-to-Work<br />
is very compatible with<br />
our college’s new<br />
strategic plan, called the<br />
Vanguard Vision, which<br />
calls upon VGCC to lead<br />
the economic<br />
development of our<br />
region in partnership<br />
with our communities.<br />
This program will<br />
support the industries<br />
we have, while also<br />
providing the skilled<br />
workforce to attract new<br />
manufacturers to our<br />
area and hopefully<br />
reduce unemployment.”<br />
Burwell said local<br />
i n d u s t r y<br />
representatives and<br />
government agencies<br />
are included on the<br />
VGCC Back-to-Work<br />
advisory committee.<br />
According to data from<br />
the N.C. Department of<br />
Commerce, the area<br />
served by VGCC is<br />
expected to see growth<br />
in the numbers of jobs in<br />
manufacturing-related<br />
occupations through<br />
2020. The number of<br />
industrial machinists<br />
employed locally is<br />
expected to grow by 21%,<br />
for example, while<br />
ADVERTISE!<br />
manufacturing systems<br />
technicians should see<br />
growth, and the number<br />
technicians is projected<br />

program, contact Kyle<br />

ECA Centennial Celebration October 27<br />
North Carolina<br />
Cooperative Extension<br />
will hold a centennial<br />
gala Oct. 27 in Raleigh<br />
to celebrate 100 years of<br />
home demonstration<br />
programs in North<br />
Carolina. Extension<br />
invites former Extension<br />
Homemaker Club<br />
members, current<br />
members of the<br />
Extension and<br />
Community Association<br />
and those involved with<br />
extension’s family and<br />
consumer sciences<br />
program to attend this<br />
historic event at N.C.<br />
State University’s<br />
McKimmon Center.<br />
In Granville County,<br />
the Extension Volunteer<br />
Association is a spin-off<br />
of the ECA organization.<br />
Through the educational<br />
guidance and<br />
researched-based<br />
information provided by<br />
N.C. Cooperative<br />
Extension’s family and<br />
consumer sciences<br />
agents and specialists<br />
based at N.C. State and<br />
N.C. A&T State<br />
universities, ECA is a<br />
grassroots institution<br />
that has actively<br />
addressed the needs of<br />
families in their<br />
communities for 100<br />
years. EVA has<br />
continued in the<br />
tradition of education<br />
and community service.<br />
The ECA centennial<br />
gala at N.C. State will<br />
begin at 3:30 p.m. —<br />
weather permitting —<br />
with an oppor-tunity to<br />
see engraved bricks that<br />
have been placed in the<br />
Jane McKimmon<br />
Garden at McKimmon<br />
Center honoring the<br />
women of ECA, family<br />
and consumer sciences<br />
and their supporters.<br />
Also there will be<br />
exhibits to showcase the<br />
multifaceted work of<br />
ECA in the state and a<br />
time to reconnect with<br />
old and new friends.<br />
The dinner, which<br />
begins at 5 p. m., will<br />
include a multimedia<br />
presentation on the<br />
history of ECA. In<br />
addition, 25 new<br />
members will be<br />
inducted into the Jane S.<br />
McKimmon Family and<br />
Consumer Sciences Hall<br />
of Fame.<br />
The ECA State<br />
Conference will be held<br />
in Raleigh on Oct. 28-29.<br />

Vance - Granville Community College’s Chi Beta Chi<br />
chapter of Phi Beta Lambda, the business student<br />
organization, recently elected officers for the 2013-2014<br />
year. New officers were installed and members were<br />
inducted at a ceremony on September 24th on VGCC’s<br />
Main Campus. The officers include president David Henry<br />
of Macon, vice president Eric Person of Kittrell, secretary<br />
Hannah Davis of Henderson, treasurer Dashaun Cheek of<br />
Oxford, and Veronica Yount of Townsville and Jessica<br />
Nava of Oxford, who are sharing the responsibility of the<br />
office of reporter/historian. The chapter advisors are<br />
Business Administration instructor Derrick Cameron and<br />
Business Administration/Accounting / Entrepreneurship<br />
program head Carl Hann, Jr. Seated, from left: VGCC Phi<br />

convinced 14 county<br />
superintendents of<br />
education to employ<br />
home demonstration<br />
agents to support the<br />
girls’ tomato club<br />
program to teach girls to<br />
can tomatoes. By 1913,<br />
the girls’ mothers had<br />
learned to can so well,<br />
they began to ask for<br />
clubs where they might<br />
learn other skills for the<br />
home. Thus home<br />
demonstration clubs —<br />
later named Extension<br />
Homemakers and ECA<br />
today — were born in<br />
North Carolina.<br />

Duke Energy Presents Check<br />
Duke Energy<br />
representatives<br />
presented a check<br />
recently to Public Safety<br />
Secretary Frank Perry<br />
for approximately<br />
$139,000 as payment for<br />
Central Prison’s<br />
participation in the Duke<br />
Energy Demand<br />
Response Automation<br />
program. During peak<br />
summer demand periods,<br />
customers who elect to<br />
participate in the<br />
program agree to curtail<br />
usage until demand<br />
decreases. Shifting peak<br />
customer demand can<br />
help to delay the need to<br />
build new power plants.<br />
When activated, the<br />
program requires the<br />
Central Prison complex<br />
to curtail its usage of<br />
power from the electric<br />
grid for non-essential<br />
systems and operate<br />
under its own generator<br />
power. During the past<br />
year, Central Prison<br />
successfully participated<br />
in two curtailment events<br />
for about six hours each.<br />
“This program is one<br />
example of how DPS is<br />
working to be wise<br />
stewards of taxpayer<br />
dollars,” said Secretary<br />
Frank Perry. “We look<br />
forward to working with<br />
our partners at Duke<br />
Energy for future<br />
efficiencies and savings<br />
on our energy bills.”<br />
Today’s payment<br />
represents a one-time<br />
incentive<br />
for<br />
participation in the<br />
Demand Response<br />
Automation program.<br />
Central Prison is<br />
receiving additional<br />
savings through monthly<br />
reductions in its<br />
electricity bill and<br />
performance credits for<br />
each successful<br />
curtailment. Over the<br />
past year, these credits<br />
have resulted in<br />
additional savings of<br />
about $56,000.<br />
Central Prison’s<br />
utility plant is equipped<br />
with four large<br />
generators, which can be<br />
fueled by diesel or<br />
natural gas. They are<br />
capable of completely<br />
powering the entire<br />
Central Prison complex<br />
including the prison,<br />
hospital, mental heath<br />
center and all support<br />
buildings.<br />
Secretary Frank Perry receives a check for $139,000 from Duke<br />
Energy's Kathy Hawkins as payment for Central Prison's<br />
participation in the Demand Response Automation program.<br />
During times of peak energy usage, like on hot summer days,<br />
Central Prison disconnects from the power grid and runs off<br />
power from its own generators. This lessens the load on the<br />
power grid, making more electricity available for other<br />
customers.<br />
