5 Years And Going

"Believing in God will save you from a devil's hell... believing God will take you to a whole new level of living!"

Small Town Main Street Program Kicks Off September 29 marked a great day in our towns his-tory. Not only are we celebrating 200 years of being founded we have a new first day. That would be the

official reception of the Small Town Main Street (STMS) Grant. Town Manager, Roger Davis

welcomed a room full of citizens to meeting. NC Rep. Pat Hurley, was present to celebrate in this day and encourage our fair town on. Sheri Adams of the STMS presented the official grant to Mayor John Stanley. All day long the STMS staff meet with all the different groups in town to learn more of the good and bad of our community and hear our thoughts. From 10:30 in the morn-ing, the staff toured our town to review all if aspects. At Noon they began their meetings and below I have listed them in order as they day went along. Town Staff, Mayor, City Council and planners, then on to property owners, mer-chants, bankers, realtors, develop-ers, county manager, EDC director and other county agencies, Chamber of Commerce and other non profits and concerned citizens. Con-cluding their interview sessions that went on in

approx. 25 min-ute ses-sions, the staff com-piled all the notes of the day. This bring

them to the current meeting. Sheri Adams of STMS then introduced the group to Lou and Lauren that would assist her in helping us. All the time the point was brought home that they would not be coming in and telling us what to do, but they would be here to

help us (Liberty and its citizens) plan out the new future for Liberty. They offer professional guidance, suggestion, resources and more. A great video pres-entation was given by STMS to bring into focus what we could expect. From comprehension, incremental, long term (which is always evolving), partnerships, building on existing assests, action oriented, quality focus, changes, management and self help was some of main keys the illuminated. The group has four divisions in Liberty. The organizational committee, headed up by Billy Hardin of Hardin’s Florist and Wholesale, will help keep all other committees to-gether while establishing the Downtown Develop-ment into its own entity. The design committee, headed up by Phillip Wright, local architect that cur-rently assist the town with his services. He has a strong love for Liberty. This group will look at re-storing the luster to Liberty from many different area. The economic development committee, co chaired by J B Griffith (Liberty Advisors) and Ronnie Murray (Co Owner of Liberty Hardware), will work on how to increase and improve the economic well fair of our town. The publicity committee, will be lead by Kevin Bowman (Owner of The Liberty Leader). This com-

mittee will work on bringing a new brand to Liberty and promoting its current items and building on the new ac-tivities. This seems like a whole lot, but as one wise person once said, “you want to eat the whole pie, but you can take eat it at once, you have to take one small bite at a time.” As you entered the room you received three stickers. These were used at

mid point of the meeting. On the wall was a list of all the items pointed out at the interview sessions all day. Here the community marked their three tops points to work on first. Belief it or not, majority picked the same items. The meeting concluded with each group breaking up and asking for any to serve on the new appointed committees. From 6 to 8 people signed up for each committee. If you would like to contribute your time, your passion and talents to any of the four committees, contact Roger Davis at town hall and he will pass your names on. Well Liberty, here is our chance. For the next two years we have free profes-sional guidance to move our town up. I for one am excited. The track record of every community that STMS has been part of has seen increase growth in business, employment, tourism and improvements in the look and pride of their town. Lets embrace this opportunity. With the economic situation we are in this great country, we have no where to go but up. As I write the paper each month, I can only say, for a community our size, we do a lot of things. I believe we do a lot better than our larger cities around us.

Continuity Gives Us Roots and Change Will Give Us Branches I moved to Liberty in 2004, when I was 13 years old. I thought it was pretty much the smallest town imaginable. I moved from Tucson, AZ, which is, as most of you probably know, a large, busy, HOT metropolitan area. Moving to Liberty was a huge change for me. I never thought I would end up liking it as much as I do. I’d never been to the Southeastern United States before moving to NC, and I had a hard time imagining what it would be like. All I could think of was grits, bird dogs and that thing that they call South-ern hospitality. This last element was the one thing that stood out to me the most when I set foot on southern soil. I still cringe when people talk about grits, which happens much less than I thought it would, and I have yet to meet a bird dog. But that Southern hospitality is something that is alive and kicking down here in the South, and I am so glad it is. I love Liberty—people here are friendly, considerate and incredibly kind. Working downtown at the Liberty Emporium has allowed me to meet a plethora of people that I never would have met otherwise. I’ll have a hard time leaving this place when I head to college next year. But I have a challenge for Liberty: I challenge you all to move forward. I challenge you to develop. This town has so much potential. Why are things still the same? There can still be a homey, small-town feeling with new stores or chain restaurants. Evolution and development don’t tear people apart—they bring them together. There are hundreds of teens in Liberty who go out to Siler City, Burlington and Greensboro to have fun. Why not keep them close to home while they enjoy themselves? Play movies (old talkies, musi-cals, even new releases) at an old-fashioned movie theater. Put in a small bowling alley. Open up a clothing store geared towards a younger gen-eration. Teens love to spend money. Most don’t fully understand the meaning of recession—a word that Liberty knows to well. Liberty’s teens won’t mind losing their money to in-town shops. They’ll be happy to have something to do. This is not a criticism. This is a suggestion from a Liberty teen that lived her life in several different areas. I love this town and everyone in it. But please, oh little town of Liberty, don’t hold back on develop-ment and don’t resist the evolution that this place has to undergo at some point. Living in the past will get us nowhere. Change is good. It will open doors that you never knew were closed. --Aryn Leighton

A New Chairperson for Celebrate Liberty’s Children Celebrate Liberty’s Children (CLC), Liberty’s local Smart Start planning committee, began in 2000 as a core group of committed Liberty area residents. Celebrate Liberty’s Children was created to put in place and maintain programs that support children and families in their earliest years of development. Years of research prove that educational and emotional development happen at a far greater rate in the earliest years of life, and that what happens then matters for a life-time. Children who arrive at school healthy and well-prepared:

ο Outperform other children on achieve-ment tests;

ο Require less grade repetition;

ο Are more likely to graduate high school; Are less likely to be arrested or commit crimes. Celebrate Liberty’s Children spearheads and participates in many local events such as handing out books during the local Christmas parades, providing creative art centers during the July 4th Celebration, and encouraging family time during the Octo-ber movie night. Celebrate Liberty’s Children continues to make an impact in the com-munity thanks to its many gracious volunteers and dedicated chairperson. However, after many years of committed service as the chairperson of Celebrate Liberty’s Children, Kevin Bowman has decided to step down as chair. Members of CLC were asked to step up to chair the team for the next year or two. One particular member stepped up and has now been named the current Celebrate Liberty’s Children chairperson. Her name is Jen-nifer Hodgin and she is a young, local professional who represents the future of the community. Ms. Hodgin was born and raised in the area and was a product of local child care and the school system here. She went to Shirley Beasley’s family day care center and then went to Liberty School and Eastern Randolph High School. She has al-ways been interested in children and even thought she might go into the field working with children. She went to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and majored in sociology and criminology. Throughout college, she worked with Liberty School’s after-school program called Bulldog Buddies and her love of children flourished even more. As far as Celebrate Liberty’s Children, she became a member because she liked what CLC does to get families and children involved. She also likes the fact that what-ever CLC does, it is always for free for the families and children. Although Ms. Hodgin is a member and the new chairperson of Celebrate Liberty’s Children, she says she still has a lot to learn about CLC. She wants to keep learning more about the fundamentals of CLC and what they do “behind the scenes.” When asked why she decided to step up to be the chairperson of CLC, she said “I love children and I’ve never been a chair and

wanted to challenge myself.” Ms. Hodgin really likes what Celebrate Liberty’s Children is doing right now and hopes that funding for CLC will continue to keep the committee go-ing. Lastly, Ms. Hodgin wants to spread the word about Celebrate Liberty’s Children. She encourages new mem-bers that are compassionate and that love children to check out Celebrate Liberty’s Children and would love to see a big turn out for the October 24th Movie Night so folks can see CLC in action. Celebrate Liberty’s Children will continue to support and maintain programs that support young children and families thanks to the past leader-ship of Kevin Bowman and all its volunteers. But for now, CLC will move onto a new chapter with a new chair, Ms. Jennifer Hodgin. CLC is excited to have her on board and is optimistic she will keep CLC’s tradi-tion alive as well as bring fresh ideas to the table!

Harvest International Ministry From the desk of Pastor James English, Jr. Four months ago, in Liberty, North Carolina, God gave birth to Harvest Inter-national Ministry (H.I.M.). God is raising up a brand new kind of believer, one like the devil has never had to deal with before. We believe Jesus Christ is still the same yesterday, today and forever and that greater works shall we do because Jesus ascended back to the Father. In so do-ing He, Jesus, sent the Holy Spirit to empower us, to lift us, to propel us through every line of Satan’s defense. If you are tired of church as usual or status quo religion, H.I.M. is for you? I believe you will have an encounter with the power, presence and love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as never before. Recently the Lord directed me to open Harvest International Ministry – Domin-ion Prayer Center located across from the Liberty Showcase. This will be an outreach not only for Liberty, but also the surrounding area. Dominion Prayer Center will be a place reaching out to young ladies that have unplanned preg-nancies, who don’t know what to do or where to go. A place where concerned citizens can turn if child neglect or abuse is suspected. A place for those that are hurting and think no one cares. We are simply doing what Jesus did, minister-ing to those in need. So get ready and pull yourself up by your bootstraps because the best days of the “Church” (which I often refer to as the “Remnant”) lie straight ahead. Christ is exalted, the devil is defeated and victory is assured – Amen! In closing, I want to thank everyone that attends Harvest. May God bless you. We love you. I also must thank Larry Alexander for providing the Liberty Show-case for us to meet and worship every Sunday morning at 10:30. In addition to the Sunday morning service, we will soon be having a mid-week service. I believe we are on the brink, on the verge, of the greatest outpouring of the Spirit of God this world has ever seen, an outpouring that the “true church” has never experienced! Come join us this Sunday morning. May God Richly Bless You, Pastor James English, Jr. For information call: 336-622-6810

GEEZER PRIDE! (Are You An Old Geezer) I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only geezer receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called as you will see . 'Geezers' are easy to spot: At sporting events, during the playing of the Star Spangled BANNER. Old Geezers remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old Geezers remember the Depression, World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War 1950-55, The Cold War, the jet age and the moon landing, the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, not to mention Vietnam. If you bump into an Old Geezer On the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women. Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection. Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth on TV or in movies or in e-mails. Old Geezers have moral courage. They seldom brag unless it's about their grandchildren. It's the Old Geezers who know our great country is protected, not by politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving their country. This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values. We need them now, MORE THAN EVER! Thank God for Old Geezers! Pass this on to all the Old Geezers you know.

Randolph Economic Development News *All of Randolph County has been designated as a Recovery Zone effective September 1, 2009. The Re-covery Zone program offers two new financing options through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. Recovery Zone bonds are available for public and private borrowing for economic development purposes and must be issued before January 1, 2011. *Randolph County’s allocation for public Recovery Zone Economic Development Bond debt is $7,247,000, available to local governments for qualified economic development purposes. The US Treasury will pay a 45% interest subsidy on the bonds. *Private debt is available in tax exempt bonds called Recovery Zone Facility Bonds. The bonds may be used for a broad use of depreciable property located in a Zone. Randolph County’s allocation is $10,870,000 for this program that offers a lower cost of debt financing. *New Grant programs are now available for economic development projects. Legislation passed this summer gives Randolph County access to the Industrial Development Fund and Utility Infrastructure Fund for the first time. The programs provide site and infrastructure grants to support job creation. *The Building Reuse Grant programs administered by the NC Rural Center and NC Department of Commerce offer grants to renovate and improve vacant industrial or commercial facilities for private users that commit to job creation.

For more information, call the EDC office at 336.626.2233 or email brenfro@rcedc.com. *NC offers a host of resources designed to help existing industries prosper and grow. For example, UNCG graduate students are working with several Randolph County companies on projects in international market-ing, IT, & marketing including Asheboro Elastics, BJ Con Sew, CR Currin, Hardin’s Wholesale Florist, and Salem Neckwear. Sapona Plastics has been awarded an Incumbent Work Training Grant to assist cur-rent employees to train in new processes.

They will experience hands-on access to technology and interactive displays. Industry is invited to participate by exhibiting one or both of those dates. The event features hands-on exhibits around Design, Manufacturing and Logistics. Since this is not a "job fair" exhibitors need not have current openings to showcase their technology. Visit http://www.isa.org/filestore/TechCareerDayBrochure.pdf for more information and to sign up. For more infor-mation, contact Harry Lane at hlane@rcedc.com or 336.626.2233.

New Paper Hits Ramseur Area Some people are just old fashioned. In a “simpler time”, you could walk down main street, spend ten cents on a pack of nabs and a coca-cola, catch up with one of the locals, and walk back without a care in the world. Also known as “back when”, you prayed before the pledge of allegiance, gathered around the radio as a family for bedtime entertainment, and when you wanted to know what was happening in town, (aside from the local park bench) you turned to your local news paper. “Nowadays” - we drive to our neighbors house, text instead of talk, and get most of our news and information from the internet. Now I can’t recall any time in my life than anyone has referred to me as “old fashioned”, so why in the world (wide web) would a 24-year-old internet addict decide to resurrect what many “experts” are calling a dead medium? Maybe it’s because some things in America, like a summer Saturday at the ballpark, never go out of style. Maybe it’s because the internet usually doesn’t strike up spirited conversation about this weekend’s Wildcats game or the turn out at the Christmas parade. Maybe it’s because there’s more to this area than what you see at 55 mph on your way to Asheboro. More to your downtowns that memories and chipped paint. There’s a community that lives and breathes. This is not the first paper to call this community home; but we know there’s a want, even a need for another newspaper to call your own. As one resident put it, “we need an identity again”. When I heard that, I realized more than ever that I’m doing the right thing in the right place. I’m right where I need to be. We hope that in the future, you will come to us for a look at what has been and what will be in Ramseur, Coleridge & Franklinville. We hope that this community can again take pride in your local newspaper as a trusted source of information, an affordable way to promote your business, a place to relive fond memories, and most of all - a way to connect with those around you. It’s what we’re all about. Starting this month and every month - we will do our best to be all of the above; BUT, we need your help! Something like this won’t work unless the community invests in it. We can’t be all places at all times,so we are counting on you, the citizen journalists, to bring this paper to life. We will also be relying on the local business advertising to fund the printing, distribution, and time spent making this paper go. Thanks to those of you who have already signed on to promote your business. Most of all, we ask for your prayers. Like in Psalm 118:25 - pray for our success. We know that with Christ, nothing is impossible. We realize that with the hand of God guiding each key stroke, painting each picture, telling your story: He can touch lives through this paper. We want The Ramseur Review to be the place where the community comes together. A big THANK YOU goes to Mr. Kevin Bowman, Editor of the Liberty Leader. Establishing a paper for this community has been a desire of his for

years. His advice, guidance, and connections have made this launch possible. Thanks to those who have helped generate a buzz of excitement, those who have already contributed, and to those who, after reading this, plan to help make this paper great!

These young farmers are the daughter of Stephanie Langley (that is the former Liberty School PTO president) and Greg Langley of Langley Farms In Staley, that is a working dairy farm. Actu-ally as I am writing this story, the kids are off to Dixie Classic to show their cows. They will also be showing at the NC State Fair later this year. When you go to Fair,

look them up and say you saw them in the Liberty Leader. The pictures below is from the Greensboro show last month. The Guilford County Jr. Dairy Show was held August 4th, 2009 in Greensboro. (This show is for Guilford, Randolph & Alamance Co. youth) The Greensboro District Jr. Dairy Show was held August 5th, 2009 in Greensboro (This show is for most surrounding counties youth). Guil-ford Show results and Greensboro Show results :Shanna won 1st place in her Jr.

Division Showmanship class, Shanna’s Jersey calf “Sparkplug” won Jr. Champion, Shanna’s Holstein cow “Kelly Red” won Reserve, Senior & Reserve Grand Cham-pion. Gavin won 1st place in his Interme-diate Division Showmanship class ( He won 2nd place in this class in the Greensboro show) Gavin’s Jersey cow “Captain Lace” won Senior and Grand Champion. Congratulations on all the hard work you put in to showing your cows. See you at the State Fair.

Angel Food Ministry Changing Families If you have not heard by now you need to. Angel Food Ministry is serving our local area and making a difference in lives of locals. Staley Baptist Church located next door to the Staley Fire Department took the call to host this great program. So what is Angel Food Ministry? With a heart to help others and a generous spirit, Joe and Linda Wingo founded Angel Food Ministries in 1994 to provide food for friends and neighbors who were struggling financially. Today the Angel Food program now is helping provide food relief to more than 500,000 families each month. You can call in your order or do it online. It is that simple. With the tough economy now, we all are needed every bit of help we can get. Pastor Reece Ledbetter Jr of Staley Baptist stated, “This is for everyone, young to old and any financial class.” I per-sonally use the service. It is a great way to save a few dollars on food bills so I can help out in other area. It was a pure pleasure last month to see all the love and excitement in the air at

Staley Baptist. As you walked in the door I was greeted by the lovely ladies of the church. They asked my name, located my food, that the church members had already presorted. Then the youth of the church, grabbed the boxes and off to my car we went. It was refreshing to see teenagers on an early Saturday morning willfully serving the Lord by giving of their time to others. The men were on hand to move the big boxes. This church has a wonderful ministry it is providing to the surround-ing area. From taking the time to compile the order, a trip to AVS in Asheboro that is the distribution center for this part of the state. Driving

back and dividing up all the food in the proper boxes. Then bringing it to the car for you. Make a point to see the ad on page 3 of the paper. You will be amazed out how much this will save you. Make sure to tell everyone about this great resource.

Climax Rocking F Farm Fall Harvest Events Kick Off Season Since their existence, Rocking F Farm in Climax kicked off the fall season with their annual, Fall Harvest Event. This year was just as great if not better than last. From hay rides to pony rides, from petting zoos to moon walks, from great food to produce, they had every based covered. My two daughters always enjoy visiting with “Petunia “, a wonderful pot belly pig. You see Petunia has become a celebrity with locals. It was told this past year she gave the principal at Grays Chapel School a kiss. Well my girls love visiting her, you see each year they check out that one spot you can rub her at and next then you know, she lays down and starts to snore. Yep...that was the spot. Well kids lines up to ride in the old-timey hay ride through the fields. Lets not forget about all the other animals. The list was from ducks, rabbits, cows, goats, pigs, and you get the point. The other kids jumped in the moon walk while wait-ing for the hay ride to come back. Well for the older generation, their noses lead them around. The air was filled with great burgers and hotdogs coming off the grill. Mmmmmm….that is what

calls me. Yep….he had it down just right. The Farm made a point to include the community. You could purchase crafts from local crafters like wooden swings and chairs. The all famous yard sales...what would a Saturday morning be with out a yard sale. The fun did not stop there. The management at Rock-ing F Farm had open up

for a day full of bargains. You could take $5 off any meat or flower arrangement over $25. Well great job guys.

A Tradition That Still Thrives Sometimes we take for granted some of traditions we look forward to each year. This one that I am about to mention actually takes places twice a year. That would be none other than the Liberty Ruritan semi annual BBQ and Fried Chicken Meal. The town is a buzz with the main draw, the Liberty Antique Festival and the new added Liberty Chamber Antique Car/Tractor/Bike Show. You also see popped up tents at every turn for the small sell of antique and flea market finds. But I for one, take the Liberty Ruritans for granted. To drive by and see these dedicated men and women working hard under the shelter of the hut to get those plates ready for lunch and sup-per. You can drive up the drive and runner runs to your door and your make your request and then he runs back with your food. Can not get any faster than that. Now I prefer the set down meal. A time to walk in , take a load off from a busy day and set down to some great food. Now the chicken is my choice. It is a half a chicken, it also looks a half of young turkey it is so big. Teamed up fresh slaw (and their trademark—pickles upon the slaw), rolls and dessert. Now I cheat...I love dark meat and my wife likes white meat...so we split ours apart and switch off. You can visit with workers and other locals that walk in to enjoy a great meal and conversation. If you have not been and partaken of this great tradition. Mark your calendars for next year. The last Saturday in April and September. See you there. Liberty Ruritarions, thanks and keep up the great work. Pictured below is the workers under the shelter on a rainy day working hard for our enjoyment.

How Is Your

Vision?

You see the world

through a variety

of lenses. On

good days, those

lenses are colored

with faith, hope,

and love. On

other days... well,

you know how it

goes. You inter-

pret life through

lenses of worry or

despair. It’s easy

to believe what-

ever spin the world puts on your life. But only one perspec-

tive counts: God’s. And the only way we can see through

His eyes is to know His Word. How is your vision?

Buy 4, Get 1 FREE Offer Extended for Hospice Auction & BBQ Event Hospice of Randolph County has decided to extend its ‘Buy 4 Get 1 FREE’

BBQ dinner deal for the 24th Annual Auction & Barbecue. The event, scheduled to take place on October 24th, will be held at Southwestern Randolph High School. The incentive was originally offered to those who purchased tickets before September 30th; however, due to a great response from buyers, the offer has been extended. The event’s planners have now decided to offer the deal to eve-ryone, with no expiration date. This means that anyone who purchases 4 BBQ din-ners for the event will get a 5th BBQ dinner for FREE! BBQ dinner tickets are available for purchase online at www.hospiceofrandolph.org, by calling (336) 672-9300 or by visiting HRC’s office located at 416 Vision Drive. Cash, check and credit cards are accepted for purchasing your dinner tickets. You may also pur-chase your meal on the day of the event - at the door or drive-thru. Three dining options will be available: eat-in, take-out or drive-thru. The BBQ is $7 per plate and includes barbecue, sides and dessert (includes bever-age for those who eat-in). The BBQ dinner is pre-pared by the locally famous group, the “Qualiteers.” This group of volunteers is well known in the Asheboro community from years of selling barbecue at Asheboro’s Annual Fall Festival. Although they no longer server BBQ at the festival, the “Qualiteers” still prepare the dinner for this annual fundraiser. Hospice of Randolph County is still seeking item donations for the auction. Examples of items needed for the auction include: fine art, pottery, gift certificates / products from local businesses, furni-ture, antiques, collectibles, new electronics, jewelry and more. All goods are welcome, but the organization requests that items be in new or collectible condition. A silent auc-tion will take place from 3:30pm-6:00pm. The live auction will begin at 5:30pm in the gymnasium. All monies raised from the event will go to support the upcoming hospice home construction in Asheboro, which is scheduled to begin by the end of the year. All donations of auction items are tax-deductible and donors will be acknowledged in publi-cations and media. If you would like to donate items or purchase tickets, please contact Hospice of Randolph County at (336) 672-9300 or visit www.hospiceofrandolph.org.

Diabetes Education Event Planned at Randolph Hospital The annual Diabetes Information Update will be held at Randolph Hospital on Saturday, October 24 to discuss the latest news in diabetes education and treatment. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are over 23 million Americans affected by diabetes today. The disease often goes undiag-nosed or untreated because of a lack of prevention and education. Two ses-sions led by Dr. Cheryl Freeman and Meagan Godwin, PharmD will focus on oral hygiene and different classifications of medicines and how they control blood sugar. Light refreshments will be available. The meeting will take place between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. at the Randolph Hospital Health Education Center, 200-A Foust Street in Asheboro. This event is free but space is lim-ited. Registration is required. For more information or to register, please call Randolph Hospital at (336) 633-7788 or www.randolphhospital.org

All proceeds from the raffle will benefit the construction of HRC’s hospice inpatient (hospice home) facility.

Do We Live In Mayberry I don't really live in Mayberry, North Caro-lina, but residents of Liberty , where I call home, sometimes call it that. It made me ponder the point, are we like Mayberry, NC. Each evening at 5:30 we tune in on CBS for the Andy Griffith show. Yes ,we have seen the same show over and over but they never get boring. Here in Liberty, it's the kind of place where people know who you are, and notice if they don't. My town has a May-berry-like downtown area with mom and pop businesses, one grocery store ( I wish we had a small mom and pop version) , some restau-rants, and an elementary school. And I know the names of all of my neighbors. In Liberty, people find a church that felt more like a family, year after year, and I have watched my kids babysitter grow up, graduate, and start her own life. I learned that a person living in Lib-erty (want to be Mayberry ) doesn't have the same degree of anonymity as a person does in the bigger city. And with that reality, comes some important life lessons. Some of Your Best Friends Aren't At All Like You. In Liberty, our pool of friends and acquaintances is far less large than in the large cities where you own a home that costs just about the same as your neighbors'. I see this as I travel the roads on business through the big cities, one house after another the same size. I had the good fortune of meeting friends along the way who were-n't all that much like me. We had some common interests, but these weren't people I would have encountered in that larger town at all, I believe. One thing that drew me to these friends was my involvement in the local community while writing the local newspaper. With a small town you have a limited amount of people for the population. For example, you can't limit your interac-tions to people within your own religious domination, salary range, hobby life-style or even education level. Almost everyone I met who lives in Liberty has been a friend in some degree. Another lesson I have learned. Older People May Actually Know a Thing or Two. I met a delightful group of older people in Liberty (alias Mayberry), who, like me, had an interest in forming connec-tions and being part of a community. I found out that older people actually know a thing or two! They have already experienced the life stage I am going through now, and remember it well, though sometimes in a slightly revisionist way. Having older friends that have been through raising teenagers is very re-sourceful. It is nice to know how they survived. Some older people dispense with formalities and tell it like it is. Sometimes they set you straight in a way that is like a splash of cold water in the face, but often they simply cut right to what's important. Young people are too distracted by the details. Older people don't have time for the distractions. They are living in the now, and seizing the good moments they have remaining. Many older people have ceased to be su-perficial in their relationships. An older friend can offer sincere advice with far less judgment than some younger people can. Another lesson of life I have learned. They've Got Your Back and Your Children's Back, and They Also Know Your Social Security Number. In Liberty (alias Mayberry) "They" is just about everyone in your community. They know you at the library, the gro-cery store, the insurance agency, and even the Quick Check. And half the time, they know who your children are, too. If you are the type of person who closely monitors your children's (or teen's) activities, this type of interconnect-edness has its benefits. In Liberty (alias Mayberry), sure, the teenager act up, but not in public places. Or perhaps, not as much. Because in Liberty their be-havior would surely have been reported back to their parents. And then people would remember it for a very, very long time. That's the disenchanting thing about small towns. People escape into the big cities for just the anonymity that they afford them. In small towns people can be labeled for their mistakes. The last lesson I have learned. Friendship is Measured by the Confidences You Keep. In Liberty (Alias Mayberry), friendship is not a matter of shared inter-ests and commonalities as much as it is measured by the confidences you keep. Keeping each other's private matters private is an art form in a small town, since many people in small towns tend to gossip habitually, without truly measuring the harm that gossip might cause. In Liberty , a trustworthy and discreet friend will not betray you in a moment of weakness to the watchful public eye. Your secrets will remain yours, and your life in Liberty will be more pleasant because of it. So with all this rambling on I have done, while

pondering the questions, is Liberty like Mayberry, I say yes. It is what you want to make it. 12

The Pumpkin Patch Salvation A little child was asked what it was

like to be a child of God.

The child answered, “Well, it is kind of

like being a pumpkin. God chooses you

out of the patch, brings you in, and

washes all the dirt of you.”

“Then He cuts open the top

and scoops out all the seeds

and yucky stuff“

“Then He carves you a nice,

happy, smiling face and puts

His light inside you so it can

shine for everyone to see.”

16

Name: Terry L Caviness Age:55 Lived in Town: Operated my business since 1972 from 122 W. Swannanoa Ave., to depot street, to252 N. Greensboro St. lived in town since 2006 Family: Married with two children and two grandchildren Civic and Community Involvement: Member and past president of liberty Chamber of Commerce Current work: T&L Construction Company, Inc. 1. What made you (or Why) did you decide to run for office? I have been part of this community since 1970. As a carpenter, one of my first jobs of starting a business was renovating the old Police station, now parks and recreation. Mr. Johnnie Younts was a Town Commissioner then and Mr. Clarence (Lop) Hinshaw was the Chief of Police. Many individuals have ask me to run for office. Some influential people, some present and past commissioners. With the support of Mr. Younts and so many others like him, I felt it would be an honor to represent him and the other fine people of Liberty by helping with the direction our Town takes in the coming years. 2. What have you done for your town in the past year? A. I paid a lot in taxes, more than I would like to pay, but sometimes it is necessary if we want services with quality. Taxes are what we call overhead. We must always strive to keep our cost down by eliminating unnecessary spending to reduce overhead. B. As a member of the Liberty Rotary Club, a non profit community oriented service club, we have a Rotary Breakfast, a golf tournament, and a reverse raffle. Proceeds from these fund raisers after expenses sup-port 2 Scholarships for Eastern Randolph seniors for youth leadership camp, dictionaries for third graders at Liberty School, continuing sponsor for the Boy Scouts, Health Fair at Reitzel Center, contributions to Rotary International to alleviate polo and many more. C. Others have contributed more time recently for Town celebrations, Christmas parade, or community service than I. Years back, I was president and parade chairman 3 years, Olympic Torch chair-man, Business After Hours and many other Liberty Chamber functions, but for now, I hope this election is more about operating within a budget, improving infrastructure, and continue positive growth. 3. How do you plan to serve your town if elected with this position? First of all I am not a Politian, I will not promise you anything and I have no agenda, but what I will promise if elected, I will listen to all concerns, evaluate the circumstances, and make common sense judgments on all issues that I feel is in the best interest of our Liberty. 4. What are your three major priorities you see for your town? A. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Liberty is like all other small towns in America. We have been hit with this recession as hard by percentage as any Town. We must support our existing industry, after all, they and many past industries have gotten us to were we are today. We need to continue our education and learn more about new technologies so that we may attract industries looking for a place to locate. While I served as president with the Liberty Chamber of Commerce, I had the pleasure of attending meetings with Walter Sprouce of The Randolph County Economic Development Corpo-ration. Through Walter, the State of North Carolina, the Liberty Town Board under Mayor John Curtis, and Town Manager Frank Kime, Ultra Craft was brought to Liberty. I fill we must continue working with The Randolph County EDC and Bonnie Renfro, now president, so that we may have a voice in the fight for new jobs against all other small towns in America. Incentives have become the main attraction for in idustries looking to relocate. Asheboro just landed 167 jobs, Malt-o-Meal with an incentive package of 4 million from Asheboro and Randolph County and an-other 1.09 million from the state to build the facility. It’s all about what are you going to give me. B. Infrastructure, as stated in the dictionary, is part of our permanent structures or foundation. It deliveries water to our faucets, allows our toilets to flush, and provides the roads we ride on. Use your house for a n example, look at your shingles, carpet, heat & air, paint, etc. These are parts of the foundation of your home and must be maintained for their purpose to prevent another problem from arising. In the past 10 years the administration has done a great job of maintaining water, sewer, streets, building, etc. They have also went beyond the existing problems of the time to upgrade water and sewer lines through State Grants with matching funds that could become a problem later. Most all State Grants are gone because of budget cuts, another casualty of the recession, but we must continue striving to upgrade all as-pects of our infrastructure as funds become available. C. Work to improve citizen/police relationship. Chief Jerry Brown and his force are doing a great job at enforcing the laws. Very little is heard about crime because of their ef-forts. I would like to look at areas we can improve our relationship by encouraging us to obey the laws by means other than pink slips. It maybe a seat belt infraction or we didn’t slow quick enough in a spend zone coming or leav-ing Town. In traveling through or working in other area small Towns I see orange fluorescent paint above and below posted speed signs to remind us the speed has changed. Can we also invest in a digital radar unit flashing your speed as you approach, as seen going into Greensboro and other streets. This unit could be moved to problem areas to en-courage us or make us aware we are traveling faster that the posted speed. I see signs that post seat belt usage this month compared to last. We are not all habitual law breakers, we just sometimes get caught up our everyday affairs of going here, going there, we just sometimes don’t realize we are breaking a law until it’s to late. Lets find ways to work together to alleviate the problems and calm the negative tone directed toward our Police Department. 5. What are your qualifications to run for office? Serving on the Liberty Town Board is a position with the responsibility of making decisions for the direction Liberty takes over the next four years and beyond. Strong ethical and common sense approach should be made on any deci-sion made by the Town Board. These five people represent all the citizens of Liberty and surrounding communities. I was raised in the outskirts of Liberty and has operated T & L Construction Company, my business in Liberty since 1972. As owner, president, secretary, and treasure, I am quiet aware of holding cost down, working within a budget, providing quality service, and most of all working with people. In operating any business if you retain customers time after time or repeat business, you have developed a relationship built on honesty, trust and the capacity to make the right, common sense decision to any issue that may arise. As your voice on Liberty’s Town Council, I would use these standards in every decision I make over the next four years and would greatly appreciate your vote of trust, Thank-you. These answers were written by and are the belief of Terry L Caviness

Police Chief, Jerry Brown brought out that when a chase takes place, it is upon the burden of the motorist to stop and failure to do so results in a felony. Adjourn There being no further business to discuss, Council Member Pike Johnson made a motion to adjourn. Council Member Tracy Whatley seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Effective today, Randolph Hospital is restricting all visi-tors to the facility who are displaying any flu-like symptoms, fever, cough or sore throat, and is strongly discouraging anyone under 18 years of age from visiting the hospital. Additional restrictions in place for the Maternity Services Unit state that no visitors under 18 years of age are permitted to visit the unit. “We feel these restrictions are a necessary step to protecting our patients, staff and adult visitors as the reports of increasing cases of

flu appear throughout the region,” said Ingrid Munley, Infection Control Professional. “Early evidence from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has shown that children and adolescents are more susceptible to H1N1 flu and have higher rates of flu infection than adults.” Further precautions at Randolph Hospital also entail increased availability of masks, gloves and alcohol-based hand sanitizer at all major entrances into the facility as well as signage displaying the newly implemented visitation restrictions. “We understand that these new restrictions may be an inconvenience for pa-tients and families, but we ask for your understand-ing and patience as we work to limit the spread of flu. Protecting our patients who have a weakened immune system or at a higher risk for infection such as pregnant women and newborn infants, is a first step in controlling the spread of flu this sea-son,” said Munley. The visitation policy will re-main in effect until the rate of flu in the region has significantly decreased. To help reduce the spread of flu the following universally approved precau-tions are recommended for everyday use: n Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, n Wash your hands often and with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze; alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective, n

Randolph Co. Economic Development Has New Home The office of the Randolph County Economic Development Corpora-

tion (EDC) will relocate to the Randolph County Historical Courthouse located at 145 Worth Street in Asheboro, North Carolina effective October 1, 2009. The EDC office will be closed on September 30 for the move.

The renovated 1909 Randolph County Historical Courthouse is located in downtown Asheboro. Randolph

County workers have spent the last two years renovating the building for new users. Empty since 2002, the building has received a complete renovation while keeping most of the original architectural features. “Randolph County has done a magnificent job of renovating the historical landmark and we are very proud to be its first new occupant”, said EDC President Bonnie Renfro.

The EDC will operate in first floor offices that were originally home to the Clerk of Superior Court, Solici-tor, Grand Jury and Sheriff’s offices in 1909. The Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and received the county’s first Local Historic Landmark designation.

Built at an original cost of $34,000, the building will also house the Randolph County Tourism Develop-ment Authority at a future date. The EDC mailing address, PO Box 2001, Asheboro, NC 27204, tele-phone, 336.626.2233, fax, 336.626.0777, and email, brenfro@rcedc.com will remain the same. The EDC provides a full range of economic develop-ment services for Randolph County and its nine munici-palities.

school, we are never to old to keep learning.

He didn't want the town named for Jake Williams so they gave it his name.” Angier, NC”

The Harnett County town of Angier was almost called Williamsville or Williams Station because it was built on land owned by Jake Williams. The rich pine forests had been bled by turpentine workers and were ready for cutting and Colonel Jonathan Angier saw an opportunity. Angier had married the niece of Washington Duke and operated a lumber mill in Cary. He decided to build a rail line from Apex to Harnett County and he didn’t want the town named after Williams, so they named it Angier. The railroad helped the town thrive as cotton and tobacco were raised on the cleared land. In 2001 Angier celebrated its 100th anniversary and built a clock in front of the old train depot. To beautify the town the Woman’s Club planted Crepe Myrtles all around town, a feature of the annual Crepe Myrtle Festival held the second weekend in September. The an-nual Bike draws motorcyclists from all over the region. The town of Crepe Myrtles, Angier, is a beautiful Carolina Commu-nity.

Local Boy Scout Troop Helps At Bargain Shop In the photo is a couple of the Scouts loading boxes in the trailer at the Bargain Shop. When volunteers at the Shop sort items donated, those things that are not needed or useful in the Shop are sent on the trailer to other coun-tries in Russian and Aftica where they are used by the poor of those countries. Eight Scouts worked on Saturday, September 12 moving about 100 boxes. Scouts from Troop 502 working that day were: Casey Rollins, Cameron Harward, Nick Collier, William Suits, Daniel Hardy, Andy Michael, J. R. Boggess, Jordan Hemphill. Troop lead-ers iare Boggie Boggess and Jerry Coble.

I will accept deer either quartered or whole for donation to feed the hungry. I have partnered up with an orgini-zation called Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungery or FHFH for short as of yesterday. Any deer that the hunter has killed and doesn't need for his own freezer can be dropped off for donation and will not cost the hunter any money to have it processed for the hungry. Any money donated will go to process the meat for FHFH, local food banks and church orginizations. I will start accepting donations that haven't been skinned and gutted already once full service processing starts. Any quartered deer can be brought in now for donation at any time during the deer season or by farmers that have there permits at any time of the year. Maybe in Nov once deer season gets in full swing you can come by and see just how it works.

Champions for Children Sought Nomination deadline: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 To celebrate the Partnership's 10th anniversary, the Randolph County Partner-ship for Children will be hosting a 10th Anniversary Dinner and Community Report. One goal of this special event will be to recognize the most out-standing individuals or organizations in the past 10 years who have improved the lives of young children and honor them as Champions for Children. All members of the community are invited to join us in choosing Randolph County's Champions for Chil-dren. A Champion for Children educates, advocates, and activates initiatives to improve the lives of young children. We would like to encourage you to sponsor a nominee that you feel truly is a Cham-pion for Children. It is important that we honor those unsung heroes who work toward improving the lives of young children and their families. Perhaps you know of a community or business leader, a vol-unteer, a business, a civic organization, or other individual who you feel deserves this recognition -

someone who has served in a volunteer or leadership role to benefit young children. There are many people and groups throughout Randolph County who make helping our youngest children a pri-ority. The Partnership will select honorees who will be individually recognized and presented a certificate of appreciation for the very important work they do for our county's youngest chil-dren. If you would like to nominate a candidate for this award, the nomination form is available on the Partner-ship's website

Farm Day A Great Sunday Outing “Come out for a family afternoon on two local family farms. At Goat Lady Dairy you can get up close and personal with our goats, chickens, pigs and cows. Tour the organic gardens, cheese-room and passive solar dining room. Learn about sustainable agriculture. Taste our handmade, award winning cheeses (and buy some to take home!) Make a pot with local potter, Odell Routh. Just down the road at Rising Meadow Farm you can see our 200 sheep, lambs, llamas, cows and chickens on 128 beautiful rolling acres. You can purchase lamb meat, wool, fleeces and

hand dyed-yarn.” That was the motto for the combined event between two great locations and they fulfilled every word. This years event was free admission and the great fall weather brought out the crowds. I went with my young-est daughter, Sydney, well 15 now, she still will hang out with dad ever so often. We started our trek out at Goat Lady Dairy. Due to the large turn out we had to walk a bit. Cars were line up both sides of the road and in every available field. As we walked up we were greeted by several local food vendors. Brad Moore with his home raised sausage to Margaret at Rocking F Farm in Climax were set up. It is so great to see local faces. Well some were not locals. One new friend I made was Hilltop Farms from Mocksville and what more did they raise and sell but ostrich. They had samples to taste. Syd-ney and I looked at each other and say, what the hey?! Well it was great and guess what….it did not taste like chicken… it actually tasted like beef , a nice grilled steak. Wow. We ventured around the wonderful farm to see goat cheese tasting to watching kids have their hand at pot-tery. Well time now let us down the country road to Rising Meadow Farms. Hear as we walked up we were greeted my more friends and we stood under the shade trees just talking. Then I spied it...off in the distance….what I was hoping to find….Homeland Cream-ery….oh yes...Ice Cream at its best. But oh no, Gary said it was all gone...oh boo. Well we checked out the sheeps and all the local artistin that were at work. From black smiths, to weav-ers, to you name it. Seeing these great artistes at work. They made it look so easy. Make sure you make a point to visit these two great loca-tions. You do not have to wait for this event. There is so much talent in our midst it is unreal. Leave the malls behind and the movie theaters and do some day tripping. Just hit one of the winding country roads and see what you may stumble on.

October 2009 -Cold and Flu As we enter the fall and winter season we also enter the cold and flu season (September to May). Here are a few facts and prevention tips for the upcom-ing season. A cold is caused by a virus which antibiotics will not help unless a secondary bacterial infection occurs. Some of the secondary infec-tions could be a sinus infection, ear infection, or bronchitis. A cold will last an average of about one week, but with the very young and the elderly it could be longer. Colds account for the most doctor visits each year. An adult can have between two and four colds a year, while children can have six to eight a year.

The symptoms of a cold are as follows: runny nose, congestion, sneezing, weakened senses of taste and smell, scratchy throat and cough (children are the ones who usually have a fever). The cold virus is transferred through touch or inhaling droplets. To prevent getting a cold you should:avoid contact with those who have a cold, wash your hands frequently, keep hands/fingers out of your eyes and mouth, use a separate hand towel for those who are sick watch the humidity in your house so that it is not too dry out your sinuses.

See your doctor if the symptoms become severe, such as high fever, or if you think you are starting with a sinus, or lung problem. The flu is an infection of the respiratory system but it is caused by the influ-enza virus. There are three types of influenza A, B, and C. The most severe are A and B. The A and B strains are the ones you get flu shots to prevent. The C strain may not even have any symptoms. The flu symptoms are more severe than cold symptoms and are as follow: comes on suddenly includes high fevers (adults 101 and children between 103 and 105), cough, sore throat, chills, tiredness, just feeling bad, body aches and muscle aches (they say it hits you like a freight train or a Mack truck). Treatment is an antiviral medication that can cut the duration of the flu if you see your doctor and are diagnosed within two days of its onset. Other-wise your only option is to treat the symptoms with the over-the-counter medication. Prevention is getting a flu shot and it is a myth that you will get the flu from the shot. It is highly recommended that everyone get the seasonal flu shot this year. The other best defense to wart off both the seasonal and H1N1 flu is to use alcohol based hand sanitizers. The Swine (H1N1) flu was in the United States in 1978 so it has been proven through the studies that the eld-erly have been exposed and should have an antibody for that flu. The Recommended groups for the H1N1 flu shot and booster are as follows:

Pregnant women; People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months; Health care and emergency medical services per-sonnel with direct patient contact; Persons between the ages of 6 months to 24 years; Persons between the ages of 25-64 who are at high risk because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems (asthma, Hypertension, diabetes, COPD, Cardiac problems, AIDS, HIV, and Chemo)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced the H1N1 virus vaccine will be provided to Medicare Part B beneficiaries as a preventive immunization service. Medicare will only pay for the admini-stration of the vaccine because the vaccine itself will be made available to providers at no cost. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is not anticipating a shortage of the H1N1 vaccine; however there is a possi-bility that the vaccine will initially be available in limited quantities. Once the demand for the target groups has been met, providers can then begin vaccinating others. For further information regarding the H1N1 Virus, you may visit the CDC website at www.cdc.gov. Ask your doctor if you should get the flu shot, if you have an allergy to eggs, have a history of Guillian-Barre Syndrome, or have an acute illness

Remember, the best way to prevent the spread of either the common cold or the flu, is to watch who you come in contact with and wash your hands! Lori Ann Cobb RN, FCN

We have continued to serve the citi-zens of Staley to the best of our ability no matter what issues arise. How do you plan to serve your town if elected with this position? The same way I always have, with honesty and integrity. What are your three major priorities you see for your town? Town streets- maintenance and repairs, clean-ing out side ditches to help with drainage problems, continue contracting with Randolph county sheriff dept. for police protection. What are your qualifications to run for office? I am level headed and fair, I do not proclaim

to know all the answers but I do my best to

research and find them. I have an excellent

network of resources and good relations with

dept. heads throughout the county. I have been

blessed with a conscientious and knowledge-

able board in the past and don’t expect any

changes in the future.

New plastic rules For Garbage Did you know that starting Oct. 1, it will be against state law to throw plastic bottles in your trash? A state law banning disposal of plastic bottles in landfills takes effect Oct. 1, 2009. Plastic bottles, including water, milk, soda, and sports bottles, join aluminum cans, which have been banned since 1994, as items that must be recycled. However, this does NOT in-clude yogurt containers, buckets, or containers used to hold motor oil or pesticides. In addi-tion, new disposal bans on used oil filters, oyster shells and wooden pallets also go into effect Oct. 1, 2009. Though supporters say the new law is needed and is a step forward, there is no real way to enforce the statute, which requires people to recycle. Scott Mouw, state recycling director, stated: “It’ll help us reduce waste going to the landfills. Obviously, it’ll help us re-cover a valuable material. We hope it will make a difference. We hope people will take this law in the spirit that it’s intended, which is to say to everybody in North Carolina that we need to do a better job of recovering this material.” Mouw said about 70,000 tons of plastic ends up in the state’s landfills each year. Only about 20 percent gets recycled. All types of plastic can be recycled. Most people are familiar with the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene). These bottles have a #1 or a #2 on the bottom of the container. Examples of #1 Plastic: Soda bottles, mouthwash bottles, peanut butter containers, salad dressing and vegetable oil containers, ovenable food trays. These should be without caps on. These plastics can be recycled into polar fleece, fiber, tote bags, furniture, carpet, paneling, straps and (occasionally) new containers. Examples of #2 plastic: Milk jugs, juice bottles, bleach, detergent and household cleaner bottles, shampoo bottles, some trash and shopping bags, butter and yogurt tubs, cereal box liners. These plastics can be recycled into laundry detergent bottles, oil bottles, pens, recycling containers, floor tile, drainage pipe, lum-ber, benches, doghouses, picnic tables and fencing. In addition to #1 and #2 plastics, #3 plas-tic is being taken locally. Number 3 plastic is PVC and vinyl, which can be recycled into decks, paneling, mudflaps, roadway gutters, flooring, cables, speed bumps and mats. Several areas of the county such as Asheboro have access to curbside recycling. However, if you live in rural Randolph County, collect your plastic and take it to a Randolph County convenience site or the County Solid Waste Fa-cility off Henley Country Road. Randolph County does not charge for recycling. If you have questions on the new state law, call the N.C. Cooperative Extension at (336) 318-6000. Carolyn Langley is the county extension director for the Randolph County Center of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service in Asheboro. She can be reached at (336) 318-6000 or by e-mail at caro-lyn_langley@ncsu.edu.

NASCAR Day Festival Just A Turn Away Every October, NASCAR excitement invades Randle-man, NC. If you can imagine 40,000 people coming together to celebrate racing, you will get the picture. An enormous amount of fun happens in Randleman during

NASCAR Day Festival. In 1988, when the Chamber of Commerce launched the first NASCAR Day, little did they realize the celebra-tion would grow to such large attendance and change to include a Festival. Each year, Main Street is trans-formed by its vendors to include something for every-one. There is a large selec-tion of things to see, buy or do . . . handmade crafts, food booths, live bands and entertainment, NASCAR show cars, drag cars, vintage antique automobiles, official NASCAR souvenir vendors

and games for kids. Visitors especially enjoy the oppor-tunity to meet and visit with members of the Winston Cup Old Timers Club, and admire the collection of vin-tage race cars on display. A highlight of this annual event is the glittering fireworks display near the down-town festival area that is sponsored by Richard and Lynda Petty. Also, the Richard Petty Museum is located within one block of Main Street and visitors enjoy touring the 12,000 square foot facility, rich with mementos the Petty family has collected during several decades of racing. Racing highlights include awesome automobiles, an intimate video theater, as well as numerous awards won by Richard Petty. Apart from racing, the museum even includes Lynda Petty’s fabulous doll collection.

Foot Screening for Diabetics Offered at Randolph Hospital According to the American Diabetes Association, about one in five people with diabetes enters the hospital for foot problems. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combina-tion of causes including poor circulation and nerve damage. As a result, diabetics may not feel cuts, scratches and breaks on the skin of their feet. If left untreated, these wounds may eventually lead to amputation. It is very important for diabetics to take necessary precautions to prevent all related foot injuries. On Tuesday, October 20th from

5:30 – 7:30 p.m., Randolph Hospital in coordination with Drs. Steven Tilles and Kathryn Egerton, podiatrists, will offer free foot screenings for diabetics. The screenings are performed to educate individuals with diabetes about the risk of untreated foot conditions. This free screening is one of Randolph Hos-pital’s community education opportunities offered throughout the year on a variety of health-related topics. For more infor-mation and to register for this event, please call Randolph Hos-pital at (336) 633-7788, or register on-line at www.randolphhospital.org under the ‘Events’ section.
