Creedmoor, Granville Co. Statistics
It is difficult to project the population of any planning area due to the
unpredictability of the current economy and its recovery from the downturn in
2007.
Per Capita Income
Per capita income is the mean income for every man, woman, and child in a
particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group
by the total population in that group. As compared to Granville County as a whole
and the State of North Carolina, the City of Creedmoor is within range of the per
capita income in Granville County, exceeding the county average by $2,496. Both
City of Creedmoor and Granville County have a lower per capita income than the
State of North Carolina average.
Age Groups
Creedmoor’s population is spread out fairly proportionately among the different
age groups. those age groups with the largest percentages are the 35-49 and 45-54
ranges, typical prime working age.
Gooch did not file for reelection.
Nathan Garren
who had been the top vote
getter in the May primary
received 176 votes.

FAT HARRY’S
Cooking Column
by Harry Coleman
If a little something sweet is what you're craving
there's a place in downtown Creedmoor that you
should try!
You can't really say it's new. There's been a
bakery with cookies and cakes in he same spot for
a long time now.
Grammie's Kitchen held their open house on
July 14th at the 209 N. Main Street location, which
was formerly Nona's Bakery. Nona will still be there
early most mornings doing her baking. The
business will however, have a new name, new
owners, and new treats and specialties.
Nona Bracy has made wonderful cakes and
brownies, cookies and other special desserts for
Nona's Bakery for years.
She's also made lots of special friends and loyal
customers. She's been like a Pied Piper for children
who love the way she has treated them with love
and respect, not talked down to them and shared
important life lessons. Oh yeah she's let them bake
stuff in her kitchen, too.
The kids know Nona is special. A lot of adults
know that too. Nona will give you advice or a kind
word of advice or maybe something to eat when
you need it. She's a major promoter and supporter
of other businesses. If you're kind hearted you can
always get a smile from Ms. Nona.
She decided to give up spending full time at the
bakery so she could enjoy spending more time with
her husband Norm.
She'll still be helping out and will still be making
her special creative cakes and help teach the new
owners how to make the specialties she has
developed.
The new owners will be Heather Thomas Davis
and her dad Wes Thomas.
They will add their own family favorites from
their family in upstate New York. And some new
menu items like bagels, and ice cream, a special
blend of coffee from a Hillsborough coffee blender
and Loco Pops, a treat she learned about when she
managed the Loco Pops store in Durham.
Heather has lived in Creedmoor for twelve and
one half years. She now lives in the Golden Pond
community. It was her local connection and her
pleasant personality that led Nona's to choose her
to take over the bakery along with Heather’s dad.
Heather has already done painting and moving
stuff around inside the bakery. And she'll be open
extended hours so she'll be there whenever someone
gets an urge for a bagel or an afternoon snack. She'll
also be available to take orders for birthday cakes
and special treats to go.
Heather looks forward to expanding into taking
special orders for wedding cakes and filling the
special requests that her customers bring to her.
If the smell of freshly baked scones and fragrant
roasted coffee fills the doorway on your walk down
Main Street chances are you've found Grammies
Kitchen.
Drop in and you won't be disappointed.
Heather Thomas Davis said "I learned to crack
eggs at an early age".
At first it didn't look like Heather was headed
to a career in cracking eggs. With a Master's degree
in Education and training as an anthropologist she
took on a job as a tour leader at the Duke Lemur
Center in Durham and at a summer camp on a farm
and served as a manager for Loco Pops, which are
gourmet frozen pops dipped in chocolate and
banana ice cream with homemade chocolate shells.
And she served as a manager for a blended coffee
roaster in Hillsborough. Both these treats have
become staple items in her new business.
Grammie's Kitchen will sell a wide variety of
tempting specialty items including features such
as plain and "everything" bagels, pecan coffee cake,
a rotating list of pastries, cookies, cupcakes,
muffins, angel squares, rocky road bars, whoopie
pies, italian sodas, local NC Loco Pops, NC coffee
and NC ice cream featuring vanilla, chocolate,
strawberry, banana and chocolate dipped ice cream.
The new sweet shop will be open Monday
through Friday from 6am to 7pm, on Saturday from
9am to 3pm and will be closed on Sundays.
Shown left ot right are Heather Davis, co-owner, Rev.
Jonathan D. Jefferies and Wes Thomas, co-owner.
Grammie’s Kitchen was blessed last Tuesday by Rev.
Jonathan D. Jefferies. The event was attended by County
Commissioner Tim Karan and his family, Creedmoor Mayor
Darryl Moss, Linda Tolar of Liberty Coins and Jon Zbonack
of Creedmoor City Saloon. Many friends and residents of
Creedmoor stopped in for a visit.
SOAP OPERA REVIEW
BOLD AND
BEAUTIFUL
Two uninvited guests
turned up at Marcus and
Dayzee's wedding, while
an important person was
conspicuously absent.
Dayzee was later
devastated when Marcus
revealed a long-held
secret. Hope was
distraught after viewing
the video of Liam and
Steffy's intimate
moment. Coming: Dayzee
must decide if she can
still consider a future
with Marcus.
BUNHEADS
Michelle's friend
Talia arrived in Paradise
in time to help her plan a
raucous birthday road
trip. Instead, Michelle
ended up in charge of the
dance studio after Fanny
took off on an unexpected
vacation. Michelle's
birthday celebration
veered even further off
course when Talia
discovered Truly's
clothing boutique,
Sparkles. Coming:
Michelle confronts one of
her students for
unacceptable behavior.
DALLAS
Following the death
of a family associate and
the damage any
suspicions could do to the
Ewings, the family made
choices that would
protect them, no matter
what the cost might be to
others. Christopher
moved closer to his
dream when a big oil
company approached him
about rights to the new
methane technology.
Coming: John Ross must
decide what is most
important to him.
DAYS OF OUR
LIVES
Melanie seized the
moment and called Chad,
revealing her
whereabouts in the
tunnels under Salem. As
Brady got to Melanie and
Chad found Andrew and
Gabi, a huge gas
explosion rocked the
tunnels, as well as the
land above. While
waiting for Brady to
arrive at their wedding
ceremony, Madison was
caught with Ian as the
ballroom blew up, while
Nicole, also in the
ballroom, suffered from
cramps. Coming: Who
lives and who dies is
revealed when "Days"
returns on Monday, Aug.
13, following the
Olympics.
GENERAL
HOSPITAL
Unaware that a
hidden camera was
operating, Connie
admitted to Johnny that
she's stopping Kate from
fully being herself.
Shaken by a visit from
Anthony's ghost, Johnny
trashed the office and
made an important
discovery. Patrick finally
decided to enter a detox
program. Starr and
Michael's announcement
that they're dating
caused conflicted feelings
for Sonny and Kate.
Coming: Jason and Sam
might be edging closer
together.
JANE BY DESIGN
With retrieving
Jeremy's designs the only
thing that can save the
Harrods and Donovan
Decker deal, Gray sent
Jane to London to find
Jeremy and persuade
him to come back in order
to preserve all their jobs.
With Jane on her own for
a very difficult task, Billy
tried to repair the strains
in his relationship with
Zoe, only to have his ties
to Jane once more get in
the way. Coming: On the
season finale, Jane's good
deeds carry a high price.
THE L.A. COMPLEX
Abby's best efforts to
behave like a Christian on
her new TV show totally
backfired. Nick was pitted
against a former flame,
Sabrina, when they began
to work together. Connor
got an appealing offer
from a top film star,
Jennifer Bell. New
arrivals in town, Beth and
her brother Simon,
struggled as they sought
a way into show business.
Coming: Abby must start
again.
90210
In a rebroadcast,
Naomi's collaboration
with her enemy Holly to
throw a campus costume
party had regrettable
consequences. Adrianna
handcuffed herself to
Dixon trying to keep him
sober. Annie had to decide
whether to give Patrick
another chance. Navid's
plan to ruin his Uncle
Amal was in jeopardy.
Silver discovered that
political candidate
Marissa Harris-Young is
not who she seems.
Coming: A Las Vegas road
trip leads to fateful
encounters.
PRETTY LITTLE
LIARS
A visit from Detective
Wilden caused Hanna to
fear that she may be the
target of a setup in
Alison's murder case. In
order to help Hanna, Aria
had no other choice than
to meet with Mona.
However, Aria dreaded the
confrontation with her
former tormentor, who
might not be forthcoming
with the information that
could remove the cloud
over Hanna. The girls
interest was piqued when
Jason's ex-girlfriend, who
also had ties to Alison,
returned to Rosewood.
Coming: The newcomer
could be a friend or a foe.
SECRET LIFE OF
THE AMERICAN
TEENAGER
Grace was elated when
she convinced almost all
her friends and family to
go to church, but the
result wasn't quite what
she anticipated. Amy and
Ricky's relationship was
increasingly strained by
the presence of Ricky's old
friend Clementine at his
college - and let's not
forget that Adrian is there
as well. With Ben cleared
of responsibility for the
school fire, things between
him and Dylan became
very difficult. Coming:
Kathy's idea of friends is
not what Amy hoped for.
THE VAMPIRE
DIARIES
In a rebroadcast,
Stefan overruled Damon's
opinion and decided to
handle Klaus his way,
taking things to
dangerous extremes. Tyler
refused to go along with
Klaus' latest demand and
was surprised when the
vengeful vampire
appeared to accept his
decision. Alaric
encountered Dr. Fell in
the middle of an argument
with her ex-boyfriend, the
medical examiner. Bonnie
became concerned when
Elena revealed Jeremy's
new plans. Coming:
Bonnie is reunited with
someone from her past.
YOUNG AND
RESTLESS
Phyllis accused Billy
of selling out after he told
her of his decision to fire
her, but also to put her
story on the next cover of
the magazine. Nick
confronted Billy and
slugged him, unaware
that spycams had been
installed. Neil threatened
Sofia with legal action
when she told him she's
moving to New York and
they can share custody of
Moses. Coming: Things
get ugly between Jack and
Ashley.

THURSDAY

It’s a word you hear
verywhere that political
alk is being discussed.
The word is Jobs.
It’s the subject of the
andidates debates.
It’s what all the
olitical television ads
romise their candidate
an deliver.
But how?
You really don’t have to
e presidential material to
igure it out.
Figure out what kind
f jobs are still needed and
ake available the
raining to teach people
ow to do those jobs.
It might be new and
merging technology like
olar energy development,
eveloping the where with
ll to build electric cars
heaper and developing
he infrastructure to
evelop these emerging
ew solutions.
The jobs might also be
ervice professions such as
ood preparation,
lumbing, electrical
echnology or health care
nd related human
ervices or counseling and
raining young people in
ields such as teaching and
oaching.
Our community college
ystem can play a vital
ole in making sure our
oung people have a
hance to make a living
nd make a difference in
he next few decades.
How can we help
nsure that our students
ave a better outlook in for
he future?
The answer is by
aking an expanded
nvestment in the
ommunity college system
oday.
Many young people
raduating from college
oday are becoming
rustrated with the lack of
obs they are finding.
Many times the reason
s because they have been
rained for jobs that
imply don’t exist any
ore or in fields that are
ot expanding.
There are still well
aying jobs in accounting,
tockbroking, industrial
anagement and
ngineering and
rchitecture still looking
or those to fill positions.
he problem is that there
re also thousands of
unemployed persons with
not only the education but
also experience in these
fields looking for work.
Our country needs to
be offering course work in
professions such as IT
technology and troubleshooting
where the young
people may have a leg up
because the terminology is
like a second language to
them. They already
understand this language
better than their older
competitors who will be
competing with them in
the job market.
Don’t let anyone
deceive you. It will take a
decade or more to
dramatically get out of the
economic and employment
slow down we now face.
We can emerge from
the bust we have recently
experienced but we will
have to act faster then we
have in the last couple of
decades.
The signs of what we
need to do have been there
for the presidents to see
for many years but our
elected leadership has
neglected to see the signs
because they were
satisfied to yield to short
term profit at the expense
of long term stability.
That kind of thinking
is going to have to change
if the US is going to
emerge once again as an
example of world
leadership and a vision of
success of the democratic
form of government.
Thirty years ago we
could have established a
goal of being energy
independent by the turn of
the century.
We didn’t do that.
We could still
accomplish that goal in
the next decade or two but
we've got to change some
of our priorities and
support the basic
secondary educational
priorities that will be
important next week and
two decades from next
week.
Jobs require training
and training requires an
up front investment in
practical education like
that offered by our
community college
system.

Economic Growth Equation
Involves Public Trust Too
I n North Carolina
and across the country, a
strange dichotomy exists
these days when it comes
to public discourse about
business and the
promotion of a strong
business climate.
At the state legislature,
elected representatives
pass bills designed
to limit what they call
"burdensome regulations."
They put forward
proposals that they say
will improve the state's
business climate by
promoting "tax fairness."
At a campaign stop,
Republican gubernatorial
nominee Pat McCrory
pledges to make state
government more
responsive to the needs of
business, to cut out
onerous, unnecessary and
redundant regulation.
These themes are
being repeated by
Republican and
Democratic politicians
and business leaders
across the country.
McCrory's most recent
public comments on the
subject came as Duke
Energy CEO Jim Rogers
was responding to
questions about whether
company officials had

Elsewhere in the
world of big business,
regulators looked into
whether banks manipulated
a key interest
rate that determines
other interest rates, like
those that you pay for
home and car loans.
Barclays Bank of
London has already
admitted involvement.
One of its traders, in an
email thanking a
colleague for the
manipulation, wrote,
"Dude, I owe you big time!
… I'm opening a bottle of
Bollinger."
A piece in the New
York Times recently
asked, is this kind of
manipulation any worse

Maybe not.
But it is worth pointing
out that any widespread
manipulation of interest
rates likely cost state
pensioners in North
Carolina hundreds of
millions of dollars, as well
as costing taxpayers who
make yearly pension fund
contributions.
The more important
questions raised in the
New York Times piece were
whether corporate
corruption is growing and
whether corporate
misdeeds have created an
historic decline in public
trust of big business.
The answer to the first
question may be debatable.
The answer to the second
isn't.

Letters To The Editor Policy
The Butner-Creedmoor News welcomes letters to the editor.
The requirements of publication are printed below:
❑ To be published, a letter must bear the SIGNATURE of the writer. A typed or
printed name alone is not sufficient. Unsigned letters will not be published.
❑ The writer’s address and phone number should appear on the letter to allow for
verification. The phone number will not be published.
❑ Because of space limitations, poetry generally cannot be published.
❑ Letters endorsing political candidates or stating positions on referenda will not be
published in the two issues immediately preceding an election.
❑ Generally, the paper will print only one letter from the same writer within
60 days.
❑ The Butner-Creedmoor News reserves the right to edit letters for grammar and
length and to edit or reject letters that are libelous or, in management’s opinion, of
questionable taste.
"Babies was
snatched from their
mothers’ breasts and sold
to speculators. Children
was separated from sisters
and brothers and never
saw each other again.
Course they cry; you think
they not cry when they
was sold like cattle? I
could tell you about it all
day, but even then you
couldn’t guess the
awfulness of it."
These words from a
former slave that remind
us of one of the great
horrors of slavery, the
breakup of families, are
found in Heather Andrea
Williams’s new book,
"Help Me to Find My
People: The African
American Search for
Family Lost in Slavery."
Williams’s descriptions
of scenes of mother and
children being separated
and sold to different
owners are heartrending
persuasion that the worst
part of the horrible
American system of
slavery was
not the
backbreaking
work. It was
the destruction
of
person-hood
that acompanied
the everpresent
possibility
of break up
for every
enslaved family group.
Using memories of
former slaves, the UNC-
Chapel Hill history
teacher describes the
wrenching partings. For
instance, Thomas Jones
recalled being taken away
after being sold to a new
owner in distant
Wilmington. "I was very
much afraid and began to
cry, holding on to my
mother’s clothes, and
begging her to protect me,
and not let the man take
me away… Mother wept
bitterly and in the midst
of her loud sobbings, cried
out in
broken
words, ‘I
can’t save

till [the man] came in,
snatched me away,
hurried me out of the
house where I was born,
and tore me away from the
dear mother who loved me
as no other could."
How did white
participants in the slave
system deal with these
T HE R ALEIGH R EPORT
horrors? Williams
introduces us to Obadiah
Fields from Rockingham
County, who "spent much
of his time on the road
purchasing people…for
sale in South Carolina."
Fields’s letters to his
wife expressed his love for
her and their four
children. In the same
letters he reported the
results of his sales,
"Rachel $400, Steven
$525, Henry $525…."
Williams writes,
"Fields was evidently a
loving husband and father,
and he was a man who
broke up other people’s
families. ….He longed to
see his wife and
children,…yet he probably
did not give a thought to
the fact that the people he
was selling on the road
would likely never find
their way back home
again."
Slaves who were
separated by sale almost
always lost track of their
family members forever.
Williams says,
"Psychologists call this
sort of separation
ambiguous loss…." It is

Jonathan Scott Abbott To Perform
At Pleasant Grove Baptsit Curch
North Carolina Farm Bureau President Larry Wooten (left)
is shown congratulating Shannon Stoneback (right) for
earning a certificate of completion for participating in the
organization’s Institute for Future Agricultural Leaders
(IFAL). The program assists exceptional rising high school
seniors from across the state in exploring the wide variety
of agricultural-related college majors available at the
state’s two land-grant universities — North Carolina A&T
State University and North Carolina State University.
Jonathan Scott Abbott
will be coming to Pleasant
Grove Baptist Church on
July 29, 2012 at 6:30 p.m.
Jonathan is a twelve-year
old Gospel singer from
Oxford, North Carolina.
He began listening to Bill
and Gloria Gaither's
Homecoming DVD's when
he was about five and
would visit with his greatgrandmother,
Jean West.
He doesn't remember his
great-grandfather, Morris
West, who used to sing
with a quartet called the
Vespers, but he fell in love
with gospel music by
listening to his greatgrandfather's
beloved
Gaither DVD's. When he
was six, his grandfather,
Keith Abbott, realized he
could carry a tune, and
they began to sing
together with Keith
accompanying him on the
piano. The first song they
learned was "He Touched
Me," one of his late greatgrandfather's
favorite
songs. They listened to it
and learned more gospel
songs and began singing
in various churches.
In October 2011, the
Abbotts took their
grandson to Gaitherfest
in Myrtle Beach. While
there, they met Lynda
Randle who sings with
the Gaithers. Jonathan
had recorded himself
singing her signature
song "God on the
Mountain" on his ipod.
When Lynda heard it, she
invited him to come and
sing with her the next
month in a concert she
was doing in Franklin,
NC at the Smoky
Mountain Center for
Performing Arts with
fellow Gaither singer,
Guy Penrod. The
November 19th concert
was a very exciting event
for Jonathan and his
family, as Jonathan was
called up from the
audience to sing with
Randle on stage. Then in
December, while at a
Hoppers concert in
Raleigh, Claude Hopper
found out Jonathan had
sung with Lynda and
invited him to come up on
stage and sing with them.
Jonathan performed the
song "Hope" with the
Hoppers and then was
called back up on stage to
sing "Shoutin' Time in
Heaven" for the finale.
In June 2012, Jonathan
and his grandparents,
Keith and Cindy Abbott,
went to Singing in the
Foothills in Wilkesboro,
NC, where Jonathan
competed in the SITF
Southern Gospel Talent
Search and won first
place in the Youth
Division. In addition to a
$300 cash prize,
Jonathan's favorite
award was singing
onstage in the big concert
that night. His
performance came
between the Kingsmen
and the Nelsons, and he
sang "I Believe in a Hill
Called Mt. Calvary," the
song that he had sung
that morning to win the
competition. He was
thrilled to meet many of
his favorite gospel
singers, including Karen
Peck and New River, the
Nelons, the Martins, the
Talleys, and the
Kingsmen. All of these
singers were very
praising of Jonathan's
performance and were
very encouraging, giving
him great advice for his
potential future in gospel
music. Karen Peck told
him, "God has given you
a gift, and this gift can be
a great blessing to you
and to others if you
always remember to sing
to His Glory and praise."
She told him to continue
seeking out these kinds of
opportunities to share his
gift. Jonathan is a
rising seventh-grader at
Northern Granville
Middle School in Oxford.
In addition to loving
gospel music, he also
enjoys baseball and
playing with his baby
brother, Jaxon. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jonathan K. Abbott and
Christie Bryant Davis.

The N.C. Foreclosure
Prevention Fund provides
assistance to homeowners
who have suffered job loss
or other hardship by
paying the mortgage,
taxes and insurance for
up to 18 months (36
months if enrolled in
education courses) while
they seek employment
and are able to recover.
There is no cost for the
assistance and the
homeowner does not need
to be past due on
payments to qualify.
The Fund also offers
loans to pay second
mortgages for
homeowners who are
employed but who are
unable to make their
monthly mortgage
payments because of a
prior job loss or reduced
income. The second
mortgage assistance is a
zero-interest, deferred
payment loan of up to
$30,000 plus all related
fees to pay off an existing
second mortgage. This
reduces the total monthly
payments to a level the
homeowner can afford.
The N.C. Foreclosure
Prevention Fund is
offered by the N. C.
Housing Finance Agency
in partnership with HUD-
Approved housing
counseling agencies
statewide and is funded
by the U.S. Treasury.

Raleigh, to play at the
collegiate level. After
college, he played for the
Charlotte Bobcats for a
brief time before moving
on to the Harlem

played with for eight
years until his retirement

variety that is offered at
the festival every year.
There are a variety of
booths already reserved
for this year’s festival
including arts and crafts,
specialty foods, nonprofit,
commercial, and
jewelry. (All food vendors

Don’t Pay Invoices Before Checking
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
ROY COOPER
It’s important to pay
egitimate bills promptly
hen they arrive. But
here are some bills you
houldn’t pay at all.
cross North Carolina,
mall businesses and
ven government
gencies have been hit
ecently by scams that
se phony invoices to try
o get them to pay money
hey don’t really owe. The
scammers are hoping that
you’ll simply pay the
bogus bills without
checking them out.
My office just got a
California company to
return $90,000 in checks
it had collected from
small businesses in North
Carolina in response to
illegitimate invoices. The
company had misled
hundreds of businesses
into thinking they had
failed to comply with
state laws on taking and
filing corporate minutes
and convinced them to
pay $125 each. We also
got a court order banning
the company, Corporate
Services, Inc., from
operating in our state.
Unfortunately, that
isn’t the only invoice
scam out there. For
example, businesses
across the country are
reporting getting phony
invoices demanding $425
in payment for telecom
maintenance from a
company called UST or
Fire Prevention Tips
Safety is important
all the time, but each
year the National Safety
Council designates June
as National Safety Month
to help focus the public’s
attention on critical
safety issues. In support
of this national
awareness event,
Creedmoor area
community homeowners
are advised to review all
of the safety tips from the
National Safety Council,
including tips on
preventing home fires.
While most
homeowners take at least
the basic steps to protect
against a fire” said Rick
Isaacson, Executive Vice
President of Servpro
Industries, Inc, “There
are fire sources in homes
that are frequently
overlooked. For National
Safety Month, we want to
shine a spotlight on some
of the causes of home
fires associated with the
coming summer season.”
Clothes Dryers
According to U.S.
Consumer Product
Safety Commission
(CPSC), these everyday
appliances are
responsible for about
15,500 home fires every
year, causing an average
of 10 deaths each year,
and more than $84.4
million in damage.
Summer’s warmer
weather and outdoor
activities can create
additional laundry. Help
prevent dryer fires by:
1. Controlling lint
buildup on the lint filter,
the back of the machine
and in the venting
system.
2. Replacing plastic or
vinyl vent hoses with a
rigid or flexible metal
venting system.
3. Drying only items
that are approved and
safe to be put in a dryer
(not foam-backed rugs or
athletic shoes).
Fire Pits
These outdoor
fireplaces add a warm
touch to the season’s al
fresco entertaining, but
they need to be handled
with respect and caution.
In their Seasonal Safety
Tips, Underwriter’s
Laboratories (UL)
recommends that
homeowners keep the
glow confined by:
1. Keeping these
fireplaces at least 10 feet
from any structure or
flammable items.
2. Placing the unit on
a solid surface, in an open
area, away from
overhanging trees or
rooflines.
3. Never leaving the
fireplace unattended.
Keep a fire extinguisher
close at hand, avoid using
lighter fluid to start or
restart the fire and
ensure any embers are
completely extinguished
before going inside.
Gas Grills
The National Fire
Protection Association
(NFPA) reports fire
departments in the U.S.
respond to an average of
8,200 grilling-related fire
calls per year. Five out of
six of these fires involved
gas grills. As summer
grilling season heats up,
SERVPRO® recommends
that outdoor chefs keep
these tips from UL in
mind:
1. Position the grill
outside, at a safe distance
from the house. Never
grill inside a garage or
enclosed porch or under a
breezeway, awning,
carport or overhang that
might catch fire.
2. Check the grill’s
propane hoses for cracks
and brittleness then
trickle soapy water over
the hoses and fittings.
Look for bubbles that
would indicate a propane
leak, and address the
problem before using the
grill again.
3. Never light a gas
grill with the lid closed.
Keep a spray bottle filled
with water handy to
suppress flare-ups and a
fire extinguisher close by
for emergencies.
“House fires can
happen anytime, in any
season, so it’s important
to understand all the
possible sources for a fire
in your home,” said
Isaacson. “Prevention is
still the best way to
protect your home, your
family and your
investment.”
US Telecom. State
government agencies in
North Carolina have
recently received 25 of the
trick invoices. When
contacted, the company
claims the invoices are
designed to bring in new
business—something
they’re supposed to
disclose on the mailing
under federal law.
Other invoice scams
start with a call to the
business, supposedly to
conduct a survey. But the
survey is just a ruse to get
information so they can
send you a fake invoice.
One of these recent
scams calls employees
under the guise of a
survey and gets them to
disclose their date of birth
and agree to receive a free
newsletter. Once the
newsletter arrives, so
does an invoice for $399.
If the business balks at
paying, the scammers use
the employee’s date of
birth to try to prove that
the company approved
the order and say that the
company has missed the

Force at the Pentagon as
Chief of Tactical

Resources.
Mims was selected to
the National Defense
Fellows Program at the
University of Illinois,
where he represented the
Air Force on Arms
Control, Disarmament
and International
Security.
Ed retired at the rank
of Colonel with over 26
years in the United States
30-day cancellation
period.
Another similar scam
starts with a survey call
that records the employee
saying “yes” to various
questions. A few days or
weeks later, the business
gets a sham invoice in the
mail. If the business
fights the charges, the
scammers produce a
recording where they’ve
spliced the employee’s
“yes” answers to follow
questions asking if the
employee agrees to the
charges.
To combat invoice
scams, make sure your
company has proper
procedures in place for
paying invoices and that
invoices aren’t just being
paid by the first person who
happens to open the mail.
And if you get a
questionable invoice, do a
little detective work
before you pay it:
• Contact my Consumer
Protection Division at 1-
877-5-NO-SCAM and ask
if we’ve received any
complaints about the
Air Force in April 2002.
In 2007, Ed and his
wife Del moved to
Creedmoor. Since then, he
has been active in local

on the Granville County
Board of Elections. Ed is
currently President of the

• Search the
company’s name online,
and add the word “scam”
to the search to see what
pops up.
• Contact the company
that issued the invoice
and ask for a purchase
order or other supporting
documents.
• Ask around within
your company or agency.
If you can’t find anyone
who knows about the
company or the services it
allegedly provided, put
away that checkbook.
• If you get survey calls,
ask questions about the
purpose of the survey,
how your responses will
used, and avoid giving out
personal information,
such as your date of birth.
• If you spot a phony
invoice scam or believe
you may have paid one by
mistake, let us know. We

your money back. Call us

similar to the
disappearance of a loved
one when the body is
never recovered. No one
knows whether the loved
one is dead or still alive.
Such situations can be
even worse than when
death is certain. It is,
says Williams, the type
of loss that thousands of
African Americans
experienced during
slavery."
Williams chronicles
efforts of slaves and
former slaves, before
and after the Civil War,
to contact family
members. After the war,
newspapers were filled
with ads like the
following published in
the "Colored Tennessean"
on March 24,
1866:
"Information wanted
of our five children,
whom we have not seen
for four years. Their
names are as follows, viz:
Josephine, aged 20 years,
Celia, aged…. They were
in Charlotte, N.C., or at
Rock Hill when we last
heard from them. Any
information concerning
these children will be
thankfully received by
their mother."
Most of these
reconnection efforts were
unsuccessful, and not all
the successful
reunification efforts
worked out happily.
Williams’s powerful
descriptions of the pain
of separation and the
determined efforts to
reunite require us to
reflect with humility on
this unfortunate chapter
in our history.

Safe Surrender An Option
For Overwhelmed Mothers
In light of the recent
report of a newborn
baby abandoned in
Guilford County, North
Carolina Department of
Health and Human
Services Secretary Al
Delia is reminding the
public–and especially
mothers who might be
overwhelmed–that
North Carolina’s Safe
Surrender law provides
an option to keep babies
safe.
In 2001, the N.C.
General Assembly
passed a law that allows
a parent to surrender a
newborn to a responsible
adult without fear of
criminal prosecution.
The intent of the law
was to help prevent a
new mother from
abandoning and
endangering her baby.
North Carolina law
allows any responsible
adult to receive a
newborn under the age
of seven days. A hospital
worker, a social worker,
a law enforcement
officer or emergency
medical worker are all
examples of responsible
adults who are familiar
with the law. Anyone
who is presented with an
abandoned newborn
must protect the infant
and notify law
enforcement or their
county social services
d e p a r t m e n t
immediately.
“Every year there are
situations where babies
are placed at risk
because a frightened
and overwhelmed
mother, usually a young
woman, tries to hide her
newborn baby,” said
Delia. “If she gives birth
and panics, she need
only find a responsible
adult to take her child.
This is not about
abandoning a baby on a
doorstep. The person-toperson
contact is the
key.”
Newborns are not
safe if left alone, even in
a place most people
would consider to be
safe, because there may
not be a staff person or
employee present.
Hours, even minutes,
can mean the difference
between life and death
for a newborn.
Another option for
women who are
pregnant is to contact
county departments of
social services or private
adoption agencies to
help prepare for birth
and arrange for a safe
adoption.
For
more
information about Safe
Surrender in North
Carolina, contact your
county Department of
Social Services. A listing
is available at www.
ncdhhs.gov/dss/local, or

CHOOSE YOUR BUSINESS
LOCATION CAREFULLY
If you’re thinking of establishing or changing your
business location, there are a number of factors to
consider. Even the experts will disagree - one will tell
you that location is absolutely vital to your success
while another will tell you that it really doesn’t matter.
Both can be correct depending on your situation.
What is your business activity? Do customers
come to you, or you go to them? Also, will you have
employees or manufacture products for sale? Your
business activity will generally determine your
business location. If customers come to you, you’ll
want to find space that is close to your target
customers. If customers don’t typically come to you,
other issues could be more important. You might be
better served with a less expensive location on the
fringes of the population center.
Ease of access. If your customers will be coming
to you, you’ll want to make sure that your location is
easily accessible to them. If you locate in an urban
area, consider locations near public transportation or
other areas where there is considerable foot traffic.
On the other hand, if you locate in a suburban area,
consider locations with easy access to major streets
and make sure that you have plenty of parking.
Zoning and signs. If you require signs at your
location, make sure to check with the local zoning
authority. You will want to make sure that the
property you are considering is zoned correctly for
your business and allows you the desired signage.
Finally, don’t overlook the explosion of the digital
age. With more smart phones and tablets, increased
search engine capabilities, and customers becoming
more adept at searching locations, you’ll be able to
direct your customers to your location with a strong
digital presence.

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer
How to Search for Forgotten Money your
Loved Ones Left Behind
Dear Savvy Senior,
I’ve heard that there are resources available that
can help people look for lost or forgotten money left
behind by their deceased relatives. When my mother
and father passed away their financial affairs were in
such a mess, I’m wondering if there was anything I
overlooked. What can you tell me?
Searching Son
Dear Searching,
Lost or forgotten money is actually quite common
in the U.S. In fact, according National Association of
Unclaimed Property Administrators, nearly $33 billion
in unclaimed assets is sitting in state treasuries and
other agencies just waiting to be found.
These unclaimed assets are from some 117 million
accounts that are inactive or whose owners or their
heirs cannot be located. Unclaimed assets can include
things like lost or forgotten investments or bank
accounts, Social Security payments, utility deposits,
tax refunds, life insurance proceeds, stocks, un-cashed
dividends and more.
This typically happens because of a change of
address (the owner moved), a name change (the owner
got married or divorced), or the owner dies and the
estate was unaware of the money or the heirs could
not be located. By law, companies and financial
institutions that can’t find the owner or their next of
kin within two to five years must turn the property
over to the state where it’s held indefinitely.
Where to Search
It’s very possible that your deceased parents, or
you, have some unclaimed assets out there and you
don’t even know it. To start your quest, go to
missingmoney.com or unclaimed.org, both of which
contain records from most state unclaimed property
programs.
Check every state in which you or your parents
have lived, worked or conducted business. Also search
using maiden names and any previous names, as well
as middle names and middle initials. Every state can
tell you immediately if your parents or you have some
unclaimed property, as well as how to go about
collecting it. If you don’t have a computer, you can call
the state treasurer’s office for assistance.
Look Here Too
Beyond state treasuries, here are some other
agencies you should check for lost loot, along with a
few resources that can help you search.
IRS: Each year thousands of refund checks totaling
millions of dollars are returned to the IRS by the post
office. To look for lost tax refund checks go to IRS.gov
and click on "Individuals," then on "Where’s My
Refund," or call 800-829-1954.
U.S. Treasury: To find out if there are any savings
bonds your parents didn’t claim dating back to 1974,
go to treasurydirect.gov and click on "Check Treasury
Hunt to see if you own matured savings bonds." For
older bonds or those still drawing interest, use form
1048 which you can download at www.treasurydirec
t.gov/forms/sav1048.pdf.
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.: If you or your
parents worked for a company that went out of
business or ended its defined benefit pension plan, you
may be entitled to some of their benefits. Check at
pbgc.gov and click on "Missing Participants Search."
The National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement
Benefits: To search for lost 401(k) plans, try
unclaimedretirementbenefits.com where plan
sponsors, administrators and custodians register
missing participants who have unclaimed retirement
funds.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.: Search for
unclaimed bank accounts at firms that were shut down
between 1989 and 1993 go to www2.fdic.gov/funds.
State treasuries hold assets from shutdowns after
1993.
Social Security: To find lost Social Security benefits,
including the $255 death benefit, call 800-772-1213.
American Council of Life Insurers: If you think your
parents had a life-insurance policy try
missingmoney.com, or for more tips go to acli.com and
click on "Missing Policy Tips."

EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT FIRM
A Lineup of Investment
Moves Worth Considering
This week, Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game
is scheduled to be played in Kansas City. As an investor,
you, too, can make an "all-star" lineup of investment
moves.
For starters, diversify your investment dollars.
While diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect
against loss, it can help to reduce the effects of volatility
on your portfolio.
Also, rebalance your portfolio as needed to help
keep it aligned with your risk tolerance and goals.
And stick with quality investments, which tend to
lose less ground in down markets and recover more
quickly during market rallies.
Here’s one more tip: Be familiar with your own risk
tolerance. This can help you make the right choices.
Finally, stay invested. If you take a "timeout" from
investing when the markets are choppy, you might
miss out on opportunities when the next rally begins.
Consider putting this lineup of investment moves
to work soon.

Assistance For Struggling Families
by Joan Reid
Many had hoped the
economy would be kicked
back into a higher gear
by now. The reality is
that many individuals
and families are still
struggling financially.
The outlook doesn’t look
so rosy either for those
baby boomers who are
hoping to inherit when
the parents pass on.
The new reality is
that those parents are
living longer and burning
through this would-be
inheritance. To make
matters worse, some
middle-aged folks are
contributing to the care
of their parents as the
parent’s resources
dwindle. As a means of
coping, some families
have tapped into their
401K retirement funds.
This diminishes
retirement income when
that time arrives and is a
last resort.
So, what can one do?
Regardless of income,
the first step is to get real
about how money is
managed in the home.
Many of us spend money
we don’t have to. Because
we never know when we
might experience a job
loss or a health crisis,
saving as much as
possible for the proverbial
rainy day is always a good
idea.
Granville County
residents are invited to
the next free series of “Get
the Money Monkey Off
Your Back.” It will be held
from 6 to 8 p.m. on
Thursdays, August 23, 30,
Sept. 6 & 13 at ACIM, 634
Roxboro Road in Oxford.
This is one of the best
ways to get a handle on
your spending by
identifying your money
values. Participants will
identify ways to reduce
spending by developing a
budget.
Many folks are eligible

Healthy Foods: The Affordable Choice
BY USDA
UNDERSECRETARY
KEVIN CONCANNON
Fresh fruits and
vegetables? Key
elements of a healthy
diet, for sure. But many
people of modest means,
including those served by
USDA’S nutrition
assistance programs,
wonder if they can afford
to buy healthy foods like
the wonderful fresh
produce that can be
found in summer
abundance at America’s
farmers markets.
As
USDA
Undersecretary for Food,
Nutrition and Consumer
Services, I find that
perception a source of
concern because we work
hard to encourage all
Americans to make
healthy food choices ñ
particularly those
participating in USDA’S
nutrition assistance
programs, from kids in
school to the more than 46
million people
participating in USDA’S
Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program.
Well, I’m pleased to
say that a recent study by
USDA’S Economic
Research Service, “Are
Healthy Foods Really
More Expensive? It
Depends on How You
Measure the Price,” found
that healthy food choices,
like fresh fruits and
vegetables, may be more
affordable than people
think.
They found that while
it is easy to buy cheap
calories by using lesshealthy
foods, there are
many healthy food
choices that cost no more
per portion than less
nutritious foods.
Measured by the cost per
portion, or per pound,
grains, vegetables, fruit,
and dairy foods are
actually less expensive
than most protein foods
and foods high in
saturated fat, added
sugars, and/or sodium.
This is great news for
all those trying to get by
with a limited food budget
ñ like people receiving
SNAP benefits. You don’t
have to compromise on
good nutrition just
because money is tight.
And just in time for
summer.
If you haven’t been to
one of the nearly 7,200
farmers markets across
the country, I encourage
you to do so. Farmers
markets offer shoppers a
wonderful place to find
the fresh fruits and
vegetables and other local
produce so important to a
healthy diet —
particularly now when
farmers markets are
practically bursting with
a bounty of summer
produce.
USDA strongly
supports farmers
markets. And the Food
and Nutrition Service,
which I oversee, has
farmers market programs
for Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP)
participants, for seniors,
and for WIC mothers to
help provide healthy food
for them and their

Labor Department Reminds Workers
To Prepare For 100 Degree Weather
As part of the Labor
Department’s heat stress
initiative to prevent heatrelated
workplace deaths,
officials urge those who
work outside or in hot
environments during the
summer months to be
cautious and know the
signs of heat stress.
North Carolina’s
humid conditions coupled
with 100 degree
temperatures make for a
dangerous combination,”
Labor Commissioner
Cherie Berry said. ”The
department launched a
heat awareness campaign
to bring attention to heatrelated
illnesses that last
year claimed four lives. As
the temperature heats up
to 100 degrees, workers
can prevent serious injury
to themselves or to a coworker
by understanding
the signs and symptoms
of heat stress.”
The department’s
Occupational Safety and
Health Division has
developed additional
materials to help
employers and employees
recognize and prevent
heat-induced illnesses
before the condition
escalates to the more
severe heat stroke. The
OSH Division - which
comprises Consultative
Services; Education,
Training and Technical
Assistance; Agricultural
Safety and Health;
Compliance; and
Planning, Statistics and
Information Management
will work collectively to
reach farmers, factory
workers, construction
workers and highway
crews that are at an
increased risk of exposure
to heat illnesses.
Prior to last year,
North Carolina had not
experienced a heatrelated
fatality since
2006. While the
Department of Labor has
always stressed the
deadly effects of heatrelated
illnesses, the
statewide initiative will
put extra emphasis on
reaching out to anyone at
risk of exposure to hot and
humid working
conditions.
We are especially
concerned about the
upcoming streak of hot
weather considering the
unseasonably cool
weather we have had thus
far,” Commissioner Berry
said. ”Summer officially
began on June 20, so
we’ve got some hot days
ahead of us.”
Dehydration is one of
the primary causes of
heat illness. When the
body is unable to cool
itself by sweating, several
heat-induced illnesses
such as heat cramps, heat
exhaustion and the more
severe heat stroke can
occur. It is recommended
that workers consume 8
ounces of water every 15
to 20 minutes. Beverages
containing caffeine or
alcohol are not
recommended for
hydration purposes.
Heat-Related
Illnesses
Heat cramps are
usually the result of hard
physical labor in a hot
environment, often
resulting from an
imbalance of electrolytes
in the body. Heat
exhaustion is a result of
the combination of
excessive heat and
dehydration. Untreated,
heat exhaustion can lead
to heat stroke.
Heat stroke is the
most serious disorder
associated with heat
stress and can be deadly
if not treated properly.
The following
information will help you
identify heat-related
illnesses:
Symptoms of Heat
Exhaustion
Headaches, dizziness,
light headedness or
fainting.
Weakness and moist
skin.
Mood changes,
irritability, confusion.
Upset stomach,
vomiting.
Symptoms of Heat
Stroke
Dry, hot skin with no
sweating.
Mental confusion or
losing consciousness.
Seizures or
convulsions.
What to Do for Heat-
Related Illness
Call 911 (or local
emergency number)
immediately.
While Waiting for
Help to Arrive
Move person to a cool,
shaded area.
Loosen or remove
heavy clothing.
Provide cool drinking
water (only if victim is
conscious).
Fan and mist the
person with cool water;
cool the victim’s head with
a wet compress.
Desirable Work
Practices for Those
Working Outdoors
Availability of cool
drinking water.
Heaviest and most
exhausting work
scheduled for the coolest
part of the day.
Frequent short
breaks.
Pacing tasks.
Prevention Is Our
Intention
Know the signs and
symptoms of heat-related
illnesses; monitor
yourself and co-workers.
Avoid alcohol,
caffeinated drinks and
heavy meals.
Wear lightweight,
light-colored and loosefitting
clothing.
Drink lots of water,
about 1 cup every 15
minutes, even if you’re
not thirsty.
Rest regularly in cool,
shaded or air conditioned
areas.

• CAP grantees directly
assisted more than 200,000
consumers and reached
hundreds of thousands
more through outreach and
education efforts.
• CAP grantees
recovered more than $18
million in direct savings for
consumers and millions of
dollars more in
unquantifiable savings
from better coverage.
• More than 75 percent of
all cases closed by CAPs
were resolved in the
consumers favor.
The new funding
opportunity announced
today ensures that CAP
grantees, whether
operating in state agencies
or as local non-profits, can
continue to strengthen and
enhance ongoing efforts in
the states and local
communities to protect
consumers.

Notes For Tomato Growers
BY DAVE CALDWELL
Late blight, a plant
disease that can kill tomato
plants, has been found on
North Carolina tomatoes
earlier in the growing
season this year than
usual, according to a
Cooperative Extension
plant pathologist at North
Carolina State University.
Late blight was found
several weeks ago on
tomatoes in Northampton
and Sampson counties and
on July 3 in Henderson
County, said Dr. Kelly
Ivors, associate professor of
plant pathology and North
Carolina Cooperative
Extension specialist. Ivors
speculated that the plant
disease showed up earlier
this year because this
spring was usually warm.
While commercial
tomato growers are
generally aware of the
presence of late blight and
are taking measures to
combat the disease, Ivors
said home gardeners may
also want to be aware of
the disease.
Ivors pointed out that
prevention, applying a
fungicide or other
treatment to tomato plants
before they are infected, is
the best course of action
when it comes to late
blight. Ivors said plant
protection products
containing the active
ingredients copper or
chlorothalonil offer the
only effective protection for
the home gardener against
late blight. Ready-to-use
formulations of products
containing either of these
active ingredients are
available at garden centers
and stores such as Home
Depot or Lowes.
While there are a few
tomato varieties that are
resistant to late
blight, Ivors added,
heirloom tomatoes, which
many home gardeners like
to grow, are not resistant to
the disease.
Late blight, which also
attacks potatoes, is caused
by a fungus-like organism
called Phytophthora
infestans. The pathogen is
best known for causing the
devastating Irish potato
famine of the 1840s, which
killed over a million people,
and caused another million
to leave the country.
The pathogen likes cool,
wet weather. Clouds protect
the spores from exposure to
UV radiation, while wet
conditions allow the spores
to infect when they land on
leaves. Late blight can be a
particular problem in
western North Carolina,
where nights are cool and
fog or heavy dew can help
spread the disease.
Ivors said lesions will
appear on a plant’s leaves
within three to five days of
infection, followed by a
white cottony growth on
the underside of leaves.
The cottony growth is
evidence that the pathogen
in producing spores. Spores
may be spread by wind and
rain and can be blown
several miles, where they
may land on other plants
and start a new cycle of
infection. The disease
eventually defoliates and
kills the plant.
Ivors said home
gardeners who want to see
the fruit on their tomato
plants turn ripe and red
may want to consider
protecting those plants
now. Once plants show
signs of late blight, she
added, the best option may
be to harvest the fruit, even
if it’s green, and learn how
to make fried green
tomatoes.

Moving Tips
by Atty. General
Roy Coooper
Attorney General
Roy Cooper has the
following suggestions for
anyone planning a
move. Every year,
millions of Americans
pack up and change
addresses, and most of
these moves take place
between May and
September.
There are many
reputable moving
companies and a good
mover can be of great
help. But there are some
who will try to take more
than just your furniture
for a ride.
There are two basic
types of moves and each
is regulated differently.
An interstate move is a
move from one state to
another and is regulated
primarily by the Federal
Motor Carriers
Administration
(FMCSA). In an
interstate move, your
mover must provide you
with a written estimate
of total charges, or a
guaranteed total price. If
you use a broker, and
they give you an
estimate, the estimate
must be in writing.
An intrastate move
takes place entirely
within the borders of a
single state, like a move
Wilmington. The North
Commission regulates
movers within our state
and sets the maximum
rate levels that movers
are allowed to charge.
