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

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

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

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

THURSDAY

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

About Letters
T he fellow who
heads the General
Assembly police caused
quite a stir the other day
when he testified in court
that his police force had
labeled some Raleigharea
people "anarchists"
and collected intelligence
on them.
According to The
News & Observer of
Raleigh, the remark
provoked "a murmur of
disbelief" among many of
the lawyers in the room.
Jeff Weaver, who is
chief of the 18-member
legislative police
department, was in court
for the first trial of a
"Moral Monday"
protester, one of the
hundreds arrested during
a series of summer
protests opposing the
policies of the
Republican-led General
Assembly.
Weaver testified that
his officers kept an eye
out for the anarchists
during those protests.
His testimony
followed revelations that
the Raleigh Police
Department sent an
undercover officer into
the protest planning
sessions, organized by the
NAACP and its state
president,
t h e
Rev.
William
Barber.
A
Raleigh
police
spokeswoman
later
said
that
t h e
department's presence
was to determine how
many people planned to
be arrested.
The murmurs in the
courtroom likely were
the result of lawyers in
the
crowd
understanding that this
kind of police
surveillance has the
potential to run afoul of
a fundamental right
spelled out in the 1st
Amendment, the right
to peaceably assemble.
After his testimony,
Weaver declined to say
exactly who his
department considered
an anarchist or what
intelligence they had
gathered.
My suspicion is that
his "anarchists" are
members of Raleigh
FIST, a far-left group of
A V IEW
F ROM
R ALEIGH
By Scott
Mooneyham
mostly
college
students
who were
active in
legislative
protests
a year
earlier.
I have no
i d e a
whether
those
folks are
actual anarchists, defined
by Merriam-Webster as
someone "who believes
that government and laws
are not necessary."
As for Barber and his
fellow "Moral Monday"
supporters, they seem
about as far from
anarchists as you can get.
Just listen to some of
his words, from this
summer:
"We don't have a
deficit of money; we have
a deficit of character."
"The goal of Moral
Monday was, first of all, to
challenge the immoral
positions of cutting
500,000 people from
Medicaid and 170,000
people's unemployment
…"
Those are hardly the
comments of someone who
wants no government or
laws, or even less
government for that
matter.
Still, Weaver may be
right. Anarchists could be
out and about.
Rumor has it that a
couple hundred people to
the north have embraced
this idea that
government is not
necessary. In fact, they
have embarked on a
campaign to stop
payment for government
-- shutting down parks,
halting health care
programs and sending
home military
contractors.
Word is that they
mostly keep their Che
Guevara t-shirts hidden
beneath their $1,000-
dollar suits.
Fortunately for
Weaver, these radical
anarchists are not too
hard to find. They
allegedly hang out in a
giant domed building in
Washington.
I'd suggest that he get
his police force up there
right away to begin
gathering intelligence.
Who knows when this
unruly mob of radicals
might descend upon
Raleigh?

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

Republicans’

similarly be
a terrible

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

enrollment process is
complete when
individuals complete the
more comprehensive
baseline survey. Over the
course of the study, which
is anticipated to last 20 to
30 years, participants will
be asked to fill out followup
surveys every few
years that will be sent to
their home.
“This is a once-in-ageneration
opportunity to
participate in lifesaving
cancer research,” said Pat
Curl, health systems
director for the American
Cancer Society. ”We hope

individuals and we need
the community’s support
to meet that goal. We
encourage all who have
had a loved one affected
by cancer to participate.”
Researchers will use
the data from CPS-3 to
build on evidence from a
series of American Cancer
Society studies that
began in the 1950s that
collectively have involved
millions of volunteer
participants. The
Hammond-Horn Study
and previous Cancer
Prevention Studies (CPS-
I, and CPS-II) have
played a major role in
understanding cancer
prevention and risk, and
have contributed
significantly to the
scientific basis and
development of public
health guidelines and
recommendations.
Those studies
confirmed the link
between cigarette
smoking and lung cancer,
demonstrated the link
between larger waist size
and increased death rates
from cancer and other
causes, and showed the
considerable impact of air
pollution on heart and
lung conditions.

models for Emergency
Medical Services
Restructured the
inpatient physician model
Developed Increased
productivity models for
clinical areas
Implemented changes to
the employee benefit plan
model
Still, the growing
number of State and
Federal mandates
connected to the
Affordable Care Act has
challenged the Health
System beyond these cost
savings.
Additional action was
necessary as a result of a
convergence of factors
that have depressed, and
will further depress,
Granville Health System
revenues. Some of the
larger legislative cuts
affecting GHS in 2014 are
the following:
A 2 percent ( $314,700)
cut in Medicare payments
over the last year due to
federal budget
sequestration;
Further Medicare
payment reductions
($382,000) due to the
Affordable Care Act;
The state’s decision
not to expand Medicaid
coverage for the
uninsured; and
The state’s recent
decision to dramatically
cut ($277,300) Medicaid
reimbursements for all
hospitals in North
Carolina.
The state’s new Front
Loaded Unemployment
Formula increase
($63,000)
CMS Recovery Audit
Program: Recovery Audit
Contractor (RAC)
($600,000)
The state’s
requirement to increase
retirement contributions
to fund Treasury
operations ($131,600)
GHS has also
improved revenue
through increased volume
in the hospital’s newly
constructed Emergency
Department and other
programs. Restructuring
areas within the
organization’s billing
system has also improved
the hospital’s finances. In
addition, GHS has
consolidated specialty
physician practices at the
renovated 102
Professional Park
building, providing
patients with more
convenient service while
allowing a savings
through efficiencies for
the Health System.
For Granville Health
System, reduced
reimbursements due to
the Affordable Care Act
and other regulatory
changes are expected to
total well over $1.8
million in fiscal year
2014. The cuts in staffing
are equivalent to
$956,258 in salaries for
fiscal year 2014.
“Granville Health
System is not immune
from the challenges
currently faced by every
hospital in America,” said
Isley. “Consequently, we
are forced to make some
very difficult decisions to
ensure we position GHS
to continue serving our
community, delivering the
highest level of quality
care.”
Granville County
residents should not see
any changes, based on
these cutbacks, in
services to the community
or Granville Health
System’s high level of
commitment to quality
care and patient safety.
About Granville
Health System
For more than 93
years, Granville Health
System has been
delivering quality health
care close to home. To
meet the growing needs of
our community, Granville
Health System has
expanded its services
throughout Granville
County, offering
convenient access to
medical care where you

national awards,
including the Hospital of
Choice Award which
named Granville Health

100 hospitals in the
country in 2009, 2010,
2011 and 2012.
GHS also received the
Community Value Index
Five-Star Hospital Award,
placing GHS in the top 20%
of hospitals in the country
in offering financial value
to the communities served,
while reinvesting back into
facilities in order to provide
for current and emerging

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How long have you
lived in the town or city
that you would like to
represent? I have lived
here for 6 plus years.
Why are you running
for office? (In 50 words or
less) Vision - to make
ideas a reality! This
journey is still moving
forward. Looking on the
horizon I want to continue
fiscal responsibility,
minimize tax burden to
the citizens, continue
economic growth while
preserving our
community, transit
system access. Maintain
an open door policy for the
citizens to voice their
opinion and/or state
issues they have. Overall
a great deal has been
accomplished while I
have been in office and I
definitely want to
continue this vision as a
Butner
Town
Councilman.
What are your top 3
priorities, and how will

Increase our Revenue
Base - Creating an

Continue my
commitment to fiscal
responsibility. Always
review the budget in
detail with the Town
Council, Financial Officer
and Town Manager to
make sure all cost are
justified and all efforts to
minimize taxes to the
taxpayer are performed.
Allow growth but not
to sacrifice our Small
Town atmosphere. Work
with the Planning Board,
Board of Adjustments,
Kerr-Tar Council of
Government, and Butner
Town Council to develop
a plan for growth without
disturbing the charm of
our town.
Why should voters
vote for you? (In 50 words
or less): I believe the best
way to facilitate change is
to get involved in
community and
g o v e r n m e n t
organizations. I have
done just that in the time
I have lived in Butner.
This enabled me to learn
who is in our community
and what aspects of our
town they like and what
needs to change. Being a
Town Councilman was a
way to effect the changes
asked by the citizens in
the community and so it
is understood that they
have a voice with me as

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

Durham on housing and
community improvement
projects over the last 13
years.
Military Service (if
any): N/A
Community & Civic
Service: I serve on
Granville Greenways
Advisory Council. I served
as the first board member
on the Stem planning
board but had to resign
from that position when I
was appointed as
Commissioner on the
Stem Town Board in
2012.
Over the last year in
civic service I worked
jointly to bring new
business to downtown
Stem, assessed properties
proposed for the new
Town Hall site, and
helped solve a local road
safety issue for the State
Department of
Transportation district
engineers.
How long have you
lived in the town or city

represent? Have lived in
Stem for 9 years.
Why are you running

Stem in 2004 to raise my
young family in a small
town. Three of our four
girls are in the Granville
County school system
where my wife and I are
very involved on their
behalf.
I am running for re
election to continue
ongoing work in Stem.
Some of that work
includes hiring a full time
public safety officer,
building a new town hall
building and begin
installing sidewalks with
additional walking trails.

priorities, and how will
you get them done? (In
100 words or less): Stem
is a growing town with
great diversity. We have
received comments from
citizens that help us
prepare for the needs in
our community. Our
citizens believe that a
public safety officer is the
most important action we
can take right now, and I
agree.
Secondly a new Town
Hall with adequate
meeting space that
represents a thriving
community. The new
building would have
multi-functions including
a new police department
and community center.
Lastly, Stem has been
working on a pedestrian
plan with trails
connecting us with other
communities. It is my
hope we can begin
installing the sidewalks
and walk ways for our
families to enjoy.
Why should voters
vote for you? (In 50 words

voters to re elect Kevin
Easter so our town work
can move forward. I have
13 years of community

worked with the PTO at
Granville Central as well.
Another important
type of community service
that I participate in is with
the American Red Cross,
where I am a regular
Platelet donor. Platelets
are in as great a need as
blood but with only 8% of
the population donating
blood or other related
products, everyone’s help

patients in need of
transfusions due to cancer
or other disorders.
How long have you

represent? We have lived

years, but have lived in the
area for 27 years.
Why are you running
for office? (In 50 words or
less): I am running for
office in hopes of being able
to create a better
environment for the town
and it’s citizens. Stem is
growing and I would like
to be involved with
ensuring that the new
endeavors will promote
the town and provide back
to the town over the years.
What are your top 3
priorities, and how will
you get them done? (In 100
words or less):
Affect positive change.
Change is necessary for
growth but positive change
ensures the town is
reflected in such a way to
attract outside business or
new residents.
Be an advocate for the
community. Promoting
our town, inside and
outside, is important and
communication is the key.
A better system to keep
people informed is needed.
F i n a n c i a l
management. Develop a
standard mechanism for
determining how money is
spent. As for how, learning
will be vital as a newbie,
but I hope I don’t have to
do this alone, that the
Stem Town Council will
work together to
accomplish these
endeavors.
Why should voters vote
for you? (In 50 words or
less) I will say that I do
have ideas and many
questions. The only way
to answer them is to get
involved and keep those in
mind that can’t. I’m a very
detailed person, honest,
and logical and I feel I can
benefit Stem.

What are your top 3

1) As I tell the citizens

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

program, contact Kyle
wk@vgcc.edu or (252)

of engineering
to double.

ECA Centennial Celebration October 27
North Carolina
Cooperative Extension
will hold a centennial
gala Oct. 27 in Raleigh
to celebrate 100 years of
home demonstration
programs in North
Carolina. Extension
invites former Extension
Homemaker Club
members, current
members of the
Extension and
Community Association
and those involved with
extension’s family and
consumer sciences
program to attend this
historic event at N.C.
State University’s
McKimmon Center.
In Granville County,
the Extension Volunteer
Association is a spin-off
of the ECA organization.
Through the educational
guidance and
researched-based
information provided by
N.C. Cooperative
Extension’s family and
consumer sciences
agents and specialists
based at N.C. State and
N.C. A&T State
universities, ECA is a
grassroots institution
that has actively
addressed the needs of
families in their
communities for 100
years. EVA has
continued in the
tradition of education
and community service.
The ECA centennial
gala at N.C. State will
begin at 3:30 p.m. —
weather permitting —
with an oppor-tunity to
see engraved bricks that
have been placed in the
Jane McKimmon
Garden at McKimmon
Center honoring the
women of ECA, family
and consumer sciences
and their supporters.
Also there will be
exhibits to showcase the
multifaceted work of
ECA in the state and a
time to reconnect with
old and new friends.
The dinner, which
begins at 5 p. m., will
include a multimedia
presentation on the
history of ECA. In
addition, 25 new
members will be
inducted into the Jane S.
McKimmon Family and
Consumer Sciences Hall
of Fame.
The ECA State
Conference will be held
in Raleigh on Oct. 28-29.
For information on both
of these events, visit
fcs.ces.ncsu. edu/eca-3.
Registration for Oct. 27
is due by Oct. 18.
In 1911, Jane S.
McKimmon, North
Carolina’s first woman
home demonstration
extension agent,
Vance - Granville Community College’s Chi Beta Chi
chapter of Phi Beta Lambda, the business student
organization, recently elected officers for the 2013-2014
year. New officers were installed and members were
inducted at a ceremony on September 24th on VGCC’s
Main Campus. The officers include president David Henry
of Macon, vice president Eric Person of Kittrell, secretary
Hannah Davis of Henderson, treasurer Dashaun Cheek of
Oxford, and Veronica Yount of Townsville and Jessica
Nava of Oxford, who are sharing the responsibility of the
office of reporter/historian. The chapter advisors are
Business Administration instructor Derrick Cameron and
Business Administration/Accounting / Entrepreneurship
program head Carl Hann, Jr. Seated, from left: VGCC Phi

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

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