One was in Durham; the second was held here at the Guardian Angel parking lot. The Shred-It Company, NBC-17 and the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce can definitely call this event a success, based on the large number of participants, and the massive volume of papers and documents which were shredded to be recycled. This was the first time that a free shredding was done in Fuquay- Varina. There was a long line of cars at the beginning of the day ready to unload their cargo. More cars followed. Those arriving late in the day left disappointed that they didn’t have time to go home and get their recyclable papers, because they had missed the notifications of the event. They were, however given an email address (alerts@ncdoj.gov) and a site (www. ncdoj.gov) to inform them of the next Shred-It Days. On entering the parking lot, participants were greeted by Chamber of Commerce volunteers which included: Joanne Hildago-Boyd, Lynanne Fowle, Jeannette Ferrell and Melodie Estes, directing them around the parking lot to the line in front of five large white trucks, equipped with shredders and Shred-It employees to load the papers into the shredders safely. Chamber members Steve Tucker and Tommy Broadwell, as well as Wes Hohenstein from NBC-17 helped in unloading vehicles and handing the recyclable papers to the trained shredder employees. Shuneca Harrington, the Local Sales Manager for NBC-17 said the Shred-It Day was started “in an effort to allow viewers to shred and recycle papers in a private and safe way.” There have been other Shred-It Days, occurring twice a year in other cities for the past four-five years. Robert Caviness, one of the Shred- It employees was asked, “Are staples left in the papers a problem when recycling starts?” He answered that they were not a problem because when the shredded papers get to the plant where they are processed, an electromagnet pulls the staples out of the shredded papers. Thank you Shred-It, NBC-17 and Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce for making this day possible. photo by Melodie estes Robert Caviness gets ready to shred on Saturday, Oct. 8.

Hearn CONTINUED FROM front objective for running is to continue to ensure that the citizens of Fuquay-Varina have a voice with the choices made with regards to the direction of growth and future development in our town. We need to be proactive and not merely reactive to the needs of the community. We need leaders who will work diligently to see that our citizens have jobs and that we will keep our taxes low.” Hearn is no stranger to public service. He has served as the Post Adjutant for the American Legion and the Vice-Chair of the Lillington Area Chamber of Commerce. According to Hearn, Fuquay-Varina has one of the lowest tax rates in Wake County. However, he said if he was elected he would like to work to get them even lower. “Currently Fuquay-Varina has the third lowest tax rate in Wake County. While this might be satisfactory for some leaders, I believe we can lower them even more by cutting wasteful spending.” When the Fuquay-Varina Independent asked Hearn what he felt the town could do to attract new businesses and industries, he said there were lots of things the town Galveneck CONTINUED FROM front the kind and personable people and the affordable cost of living.” Galvanek said he decided to run for one of the three seats up for grabs on the Fuquay- Varina Town Board in an effort to stand behind the community he calls home. “I chose to run for office in hopes to support and grow the community I am fully invested in,” Galvanek said. Galvanek owns Galvanek & Wahl Advertising Agency, Jump and Laugh Inflatable Rentals and Strafe Gaming Lounge. He said there have been several things that has concerned him since he moved into the area and brought his businesses to the community. It was these concerns that made him to decide to run for the council. “Since moving to Fuquay- Varina I have witnessed a delay and even a decline in the growth and progress of the town. Several Fuquay-Varina businesses have closed down or moved out of town and many struggle to make ends meet. New home development and home sales, including in my own neighborhood, has virtually come to a halt. I have brought my family of four and three businesses to the town, so Iam personally impacted by a slowed economy and town growth.” Galvanek said he was encouraged to run for the position on the town board. “As a community-involved CLUES ACROSS 1.

However, he also said it is important to remember the existing businesses. “There are a number of things we can do to encourage new business to come to town. At the same time we must remain mindful of our existing businesses. More than 80 percent of the new jobs and investment in our community comes from businesses that are already here. We should work hard with those businesses, large and small, to ensure their long-term viability in Fuquay-Varina. We should also work with economic developers in Wake County and coordinate a comprehensive business visitation program. I will ensure that every business in Fuquay-Varina – large, small, manufacturing, service or retail, receives equal attention. The Fuquay-Varina Independent also asked Hearn if he felt that the town had an adequate amount of parks. Hearn said yes. “I believe our parks are sufficient to meet the current needs of our community at this time.” When questioned about whether or not he felt that the town’s building and inspection requirements were too strict, Hearn member, I’ve learned that many citizens and businesses of the Fuquay-Varina also share my concerns. Several community members and business associates have also suggested I run for office because of my business sense, patience and ability to make informed, unbiased decisions which has added to my decision to run.” When not working with his businesses, Galvanek has also served as the president of the Central Jersey Professional Group, president of the Village of Charleston Home Owners Association and as president of the Apex Peak Performers BNI group. When asked what he thought the town board should do to encourage new industries and businesses to come to Fuquay- Varina, Galvanek said the town should do three things. “Fuquay-Varina can encourage business to open in town in three ways. First, the town should better educate companies on opening and operating a business in Fuquay-Varina. Informational documentation should be straight forward and easily accessible for potential business managers. Hosting regular business seminars would boost the confidence to choose Fuquay-Varina by answering questions and providing face-to-face contact and networking with local peers and officials. Second, the town can more aggressively seek federal grants and loans that Crossword 35. Expel in large quantities 37. 4840 square yards 39. Sharpened a knife 41. Birch bark, dugout & outrigger 43.

Lastly, the town can offer incentives such as tax breaks to businesses that open and operate within city limits and under progressive strategies.” Galvanek said the community needs more businesses in the community. “With more businesses comes more jobs, more revenue and ultimately a thriving economy and community.” However, the opening of a business in town is difficult because of the town’s current building and inspection requirements, Galvanek said. “The building and inspections requirements of Fuquay- Varina are not clearly defined, making for an arduous process when opening a business in town. If better documented and communicated, the requirements would not seem too stringent.” Galvanek said he is also not pleased with the town’s tax rate. “I believe the tax rate of Fuquay-Varina is too high. Surrounding towns comprised of equal or more amenities have lower tax rates, creating an incentive for potential residents and businesses to choose other towns over Fuquay-Varina.” Galvanek said he is pleased with the amount of parks in the community. “I feel that Fuquay-Varina payment of a demand 13.

Atomic #22 Fuquay-Varina Independent, Wednesday, October 12, 2011 – 3A said during certain cases the requirements should be reviewed. “While building inspection requirements are necessary to assure the public safety, I believe from time to time these requirements should be reviewed to see which ones are truly needed and which ones may be outdated.” Hearn also offered several ideas on what he thought would make people want to live or start a business in the community. “What will bring individuals to Fuquay- Varina will be opportunity,” Hearn said. “They will want high quality schools, a safe environment and close proximity to recreation and other activities for their families to enjoy.” According to Hearn, the work force would attract businesses to the community. “What will bring businesses to Fuquay- Varina will be low taxes and the availability of a qualified/skilled work force. They’ll want an environment where local government supports their business, but not stifles the growth by unreasonable regulations.” has done an outstanding job in allocating an adequate amount of land that is clean, safe and available to the community of Fuquay-Varina.” Galvanek said there were things the town can do to make it the type of community people want to live and start a business in. “Fuquay-Varina can entice new residents and businesses by creating a unique and attractive identity for the town, being home to more arts and cultural activities, increasing safety and increasing job availability.” Sudoku See the anSwerS to both puzzleS on page 6a Not Getting the News?
