CMYK 10a The Butner-Creedmoor News, Thursday, July 1, 2010 Gatewood Awarded “Man Of The Year 2010” On Friday, June 18th, Rev. Curtis Everette Gatewood, an Anson County native, was awarded “Man of the Year 2010” in the category of “Human and Civil Rights” by “Spectacular Magazine”. Gatewood who is an Oxford, NC resident, is currently serving his 4th term as 2nd Vice President of the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, and “Grassroots Mobilization Chairman” for HK on J. He is also Founder of Save Our Little Ones (SOLO), a group of volunteers organized to provide workshops for parents and in other ways "save" at-risk youth. After eliminating a host of nominees from the Raleigh/ Durham-Triangle, and surrounding counties, twentyfour African American men in eight categories were selected by the NC Juneteenth Celebration Planning Committee as Semi-Finalists for the Spectacular Magazine Awards. After several weeks of allowing the public to have their say by voting online for the semi-finalists in seven categories, with the exception of the “Community Service” category where two men were chosen, one man from each remaining category received the title “Man of the Year”. The categories were as follows: Lifetime Achievement, Business and Economic Development, Human and Civil Rights, Community Service, Corporate Leader, Education, Emerging Leader, and Health. Gatewood said, “I am extremely grateful to Phyllis Coley and Spectacular Magazine. While I was very pleased to have been bestowed this esteemed honor, I will keep things in perspective and give God the glory for all of my accomplishments”. Gatewood also went on to say there were so many others that contributed to both his accomplishments and ability to serve that he could not fully take credit. I have been “blessed” with the best family on earth Gatewood said. “I was blessed with Odessa, the world’s most beautiful, supportive, and dedicated wife; Desmera, our smart and beautiful daughter, and Anthony, our exemplary and Pay Attention To ID Theft BY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROY COOPER More than three million People, including nearly 100,000 North Carolinians, recently had their personal information stolen from a Minnesota company that insures student loans. Fortunately, it looks like the data has been recovered without being misused, but this should still Serve as a wake- up call for young adults who typically don’t worry much about identity theft. Unfortunately, everyone needs to be concerned about identity theft, no matter their age. Even children can become victims if their personal information falls into the wrong hands. Young People who are just starting to use credit and handle financial matters may be especially at risk. According to a recent survey by a California research firm, people ages 18-24 are more likely to be banned by identity theft because they don’t tend to monitor their finances closely and are slower to spot fraud. The longer it takes You to figure out you’ve been hit by an ID thief, the more damage that thief can do-damage that will cost you time and money to repair. People in their late teens and twenties also tend to be active users of the Internet. More than ninety percent of young adults ages 18-29 are online, compared to seventy-five percent of all adults, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. If you spend a lot of time online, shopping or sharing information through social networking sites, you need to take extra precautions to protect your personal information. Here arc some identity theft tips that can be helpful at any age, but particularly for young adults: • Check your account statements regularly. If You see any activity you don’t recognize, contact your bank or credit card company right away. Catching suspicious activity early can prevent larger problems down the road. • Keep an eye on your credit report. Even if you haven’t established much of a credit history yet, it’s still important to check your credit report regularly. You are entitled to one free credit report each year from each nationwide credit bureau. To get your free report, go to www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. • Get free security freezes. Security freezes are the ultimate in ID theft protection because they prevent anyone from opening new credit in your name. North Carolinians can request free security freezes by visiting the three major credit bureaus’ secure websites. Links are available at www.ncdoj.gov, along with detailed information about how to sign up for security freezes and how to lift one when you need to take out credit. • Opt out of pre-approved credit offers. This is especially important if you move frequently. An ID thief can use a credit card offer to open an account and ring up charges in your name. Call 1-888-567-8688 (1-888-5-OPT-OUT) or opt out online at www.optoutprescreen.com. • Guard your gadgets. Create a password to keep Wear Bike Helmets Summer has arrived and families are gearing up to enjoy the outdoors on their bikes. While inflating the tires and checking the brakes are important – a helmet is essential. Safe Kids Wake County urges parents, caregivers, and children to use their helmet each time they ride their bike – no matter how long or short the distance traveled. A helmet should be labeled to indicate that it meets the standards set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. “As long as it’s certified, let kids pick out their helmets” Ms. Scholl says. “If they think a helmet looks cool, they’ll be more likely to wear it when you’re not around.” Safe Kids Wake County also reminds parents and caregivers to: • Make sure the helmet fits and your kids know how to put it on correctly. A helmet should sit on top of the head in a level position, and should not rock forward and backward or side to side. The helmet straps must always be buckled, but not too tightly. Safe Kids recommends the “Eyes, Ears and Mouth” test: • EYES: Position the helmet on your head. Look up and you should see the bottom rim of the helmet. The rim should be one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows. • EARS: Make sure the straps of the helmet form a “V” under your ears when buckled. The strap should be snug but comfortable. • MOUTH: Open your mouth as wide as you can. Do you feel the helmet hug your head? If not, tighten those straps and make sure the buckle is flat against your skin. Make sure the bike is the right size for the child. There should be about 1-inch of clearance between the bike frame and the child’s groin when the child’s feet are flat on the ground. Also, make sure the bike is in good repair — reflectors are secure, brakes work properly, gears shift smoothly, and tires are tightly secured and properly inflated. Remember, bike helmets are for biking. Kids should not wear bike helmets on the playground (where the straps can get caught on equipment and cause injury) or for activities that require specialized helmets (such as skiing or football). Model and teach proper bicyclist behavior. Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against it. Stay as far to the right as possible. Use appropriate hand signals and respect traffic signals, stopping at all stop signs and stop lights. When in doubt, get help. The sales staff at any bicycle shop or outdoor recreation store should be able to provide expert advice on fitting and adjusting bikes and helmets. others from being able to access files and other personal financial information that may be stored on your cell phone or laptop. Keep antivirus and spyware software updated. • Shop safely online. Shop at familiar websites and research unknown sellers. Find out the seller’s physical location and contact information in case you have problems with the product. Make sure the website is secure before you place your order (look for https in the address), and use one low limit credit card for online purchases to limit your liability if your information gets stolen. • Verify online sellers. If you’re buying something from an individual online, ask for the seller’s name, street address, telephone number, and email address and verify what they tell you. If they won’t give you this information, don’t buy from them. • Sign out of applications and websites that may store your personal information, such as Facebook, online banking and shopping sites, and email. • Set privacy settings on social networking sites. Avoid sharing personal details such as your entire birth date, your mother’s maiden name and your pet’s name, and keep your mobile and home phone numbers, email address, and home address private. • Don’t fall for phishing. If you get an email or text message asking for your personal financial information, don’t answer it, even if the message claims to come from your bank or another company you know. Legitimate companies with which you do business will not ask for your personal information this way.

At the ceremony on Friday, Gatewood was accompanied by his wife, daughter, and his brother Leon. Curtis is the 12th child of 14 children. He dedicated the award to his father, the late Rev. Dr. Wade H. Gatewood who passed in April of this year. “If I am one fraction of the man my father was, that is what would make me worthy of such a prestigious award”, Gatewood said. Over the years, Gatewood has received numerous similar awards from a wide array of major community observers which include, but not limited to the News and Observer's “Tar Heel of the Week Award”; “Neighborhood Heroes Certificate of Merit” Award by WTVD 11 ABC News; “NAACP President of the Year Award” from the NC NAACP; “Courageous Leadership, Steadfast Service, Bold Vision, A GAPE C ORNER By Barbara Morton A wonderful thing happened in 1920, Inez Elizabeth Mann was born on June 28 to Stephen and Corinna Ann Neal Mann in Bertie County. Her family left Bertie County and settled in Franklin County. She attended school in Franklinton but did not complete high school. Life on the farm as a sharecropper soon proved that a change must come. She married Doc Clemon Neal(deceased) and ironically, just as “Mrs Neal” experienced the death of a sister as an infant, she was faced with the death of a daughter at infancy. “Mrs. Neal” worked as a cook and housekeeper This was a period of serious ambivalence for her. She was essentially raising the children of an intact family while her children were left in the care of her mother. Although the children were in a secure environment, well loved and cared for, it was not the life she desired. Therefore change came when she and her family relocated to Granville County to achieve a better standard of living for her children. She was employed at The Rehabilitation Center for the Blind in Butner. Being a single mom she struggled to achieve and maintain a comfortable living for her children. Nevertheless, she enrolled both daughters into A and T University at Greensboro, N.C. during the unstable and somewhat chaotic sixties. On Saturday June 26th her family “rose up and called her blessed” and celebrated her 90th Birthday. One daughter stated that her mother has to be reminded that she is a senior citizen. A neice brought greetings from “Mrs Neal’s 100 year old sister. A lifelong friend,Mattie Simmons, presented the “Top Ten Hymns For People Our Age” from a greeting card. Two songs mentioned wereAmazing Grace (considering my age.) and Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah (I’ve forgotten where I parked). Volunteerism has been the honoree’s life and she extended her services over three counties and accomplishments included : -Faithful Member Mitchiner Grove Baptist Church in Franklinton -Assistant in the care of her severely challenged grandson, Xavier Statewide Honors” Award from the late Senator Jeanne H. Lucas, NC General Assembly 13th District; “Proclamation Honoring Minister Gatewood” and “Curtis E. Gatewood Day” from the City of Durham; “News Maker of the Year” Award from the Triangle Tribune newspaper; and “Wall of Tolerance in Montgomery, Alabama” Award from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Gatewood was also featured in a documentary, “What’s Going On” by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), as one of the first African Americans to publicly oppose President George W. Bush’s proposed “War on Terror” following the “9/11 attacks” in September of 2001. Rev. Curtis Everette Gatewood Inez Neal -Former Butner Planning and Zoning Advisory Council -Member of Butner Chamber of Commerce -Treasurer of the Community Resource Council at Umstead Correctional Center -Attended Durham Technical Community College -Duke Medical Center Eye Center Volunteer of the year 4 times -Invited by Famous Poets’ Society to Poetry reading convention in California -Member of the Royal Jewels Chapter of the Red Hat Society Recognitions included a letter from the honorable Beverly Perdue, a Proclammation from the Granville County Board of Commission presented by Commissioner Ronald Alligood, and Special Presentation by the honorable Tom Lane, Mayor, Town of Butner and many others. Aaron McCoy, Saxaphonist serenated the honoree and the participants with the sound of Wind beneath my Wings. Paula her granddaughter read from a poem written in honor of her grandmother. Excerts from the poem are written below: She is a woman of God, Who is joint-heir with son, She has served ever so diligently, To hear God say, “well done”. She is a woman of beauty, Who loves with such great might, That darkness is forced to bown down, and give way to her glorious light. This woman whom I speak of, The image of compassion and grace, has loved, laughed and lived for ninety years’ And made the world a better place!
The Butner-Creedmoor News, Thursday, July 1, 2010 11a Wilton Elementary School Honor Rolls Wilton Elementary School has released a list of students who made the A or A/B Honor Roll for the 4th nine weeks and for the year. They are listed below. A Honor Roll For the Year 3rd Grade Alex Bare, Hadley Blalock, Hannah Bonini, Cora Brown, Justin Bullock, Gracie Coffey, Jason Corbett, Makayla DePinto, Brittany Dixon, Masin Donald, Ally Foster, Ashlynn Garrett, Brennan Henry, Dameon Hunter, Ethan Hykes, Allison Keever, Nicholas Kilduff, Briana Lehman, Leah Lunsford, Rebecca Middleton, Nicholas Mitchell, Caroline Puca, Jake Rodgers, Phoebe Rutter, Samuel Sevilla, Jonathan Smith, Nadia Springer, Kerragan Stewart, Sydney Strickland, Sydney Tippett, Robert Torrance IV, Quinn Walker, and Emily Wright. 4th Grade Heather Amis, Samantha Bizzell, Karlee Bjurstrom, Rebecca Brown, Tucker Brown, Sarah Campbell, Emily DeBell, Christian Fitzgerald, Kayley Floyd, Rachel Kelley, Alexis EMS [Continued From Page 1A] director of Granville Health System stated. Isley said the hospital plans to continue to use all the seven bases currently in use in the county and that the plans are to extend the time open at the Oak Hill and Wilton bases with the EMS-5 base in Oxford open 3 to 4 days per week. The other stations are located in Butner, Creedmoor, Oxford and Stovall. “All the paramedics will continue to be employed by the hospital with pay and benefits provided as seamlessly as possible to a one to one match,” Isley reported. He said some benefits such as life insurance and family coverage will actually be better under the hospital’s management and that the county had volunteered to grandfather under their system some employees who will be eligible to retire before the age of 65 so that those employees would not lose benefits. Isley clarified that the County’s 911 service would not be changed and that the county would continue to dispatch EMS providers. The County EMS System has employed 46 full-time Medical Technicians and Paramedics who operate the system 7 days a week 24 hours a day according to information on the EMS website. This level of service will not change under the new management, Isley stated. A paramedic will be assigned to every rescue call and it will be that paramedic who is charged with the responsibility to make the decision of the nearest appropriate hospital facility to transport the patient to in order to provide the most appropriate level of care. Requests from patients and their families for transport to a specific hospital will continue to be honored, the director said. The EMS System is currently and will continue to use and send wireless transmission of the 12 lead EKG results to Granville Medical, Duke and other hospitals to utilize the most appropriate level of care. Lee Isley said it was helpful in the talks in the negioating Murray, Brian Restrepo, Hannah Rich, Alyssa Watson, Matthew Williams, and Mya Wilson. 5th Grade Joshua Bullock, Gavin Hardin, Ryan Sharp, Benjamin Treible, Clay Walters, and Stephen Whitt. A/B Honor Roll For the Year 3rd Grade Nazaria Arrington, Melissa Avery, Shon Bauer, David Becker, Olivia Burrell, Chloe Carpenter, Agustin Cazares, Wesley Clark, Makayla Coleman, Joshua Coll, Shelby Cooper, Garret Deane, Abigail Dickerson, Samuel Dietrich, Matthew Egypt, Sarah Frizzle, Alyssa Garry, Kayla Green, Dominic Greene, Taylor Hammett, Logan Hattenbrun, Zaida Holden, Preston Holman Jr., Itzel Ibarra-Pineda, Nicholas Ingram, Seth Jusino, Madison Kelley, A/B Honor Roll For the Year Sarah Knight, Domenic LaFrance, Savanna Lohrey, Elli Meyer, Lillian O’Brien, Frank Oliver,Janese Pleasants, Matlyn Redmond, Anthony Riley, Grace Roberts, Robert Runyon IV, Jessica process that led up to the change that both he and county manager Brian Alligood are both certified as EMT’s. “It helped that we both understood the standards and technology and the terms used in patient care,” he added. The Granville Health System has experienced unprecedented growth over the last three years with over a 20 percent increase in the emergency department and a double digit increase in surgical services. This occurred despite the fact that there was a serious economic downturn during this time. The Health System has experienced a strong, unprecedented financial status and it has been able to pay down its debt, increase reserves and increase its investment in new technology, staff development and physician recruitment while keeping a positive relationship within the Granville County community. Upgrade Begun The Health System has recently begun a new 20 million dollar upgrade to the hospital which is the first major expansion and upgrade since 1998. The new improvements are designed to expand the current 3,200 square foot emergency department which will increase from five beds to 14 beds plus there will now be four additional observation beds. The present emergency room was built in 1985 and then designed for an 8,500 patient per year work load but that number has averaged 14,000 to 18,000 over the last three years making the expansion necessary. QRV’s Use? Ronald Bracy also questioned the use of multiple units of the Quick Response Vehicles (QRV) which is said to cost as much as $85,000 per unit. Bracy said he thought that it would be better for EMS to go ahead and invest in a full ambulance. Isley said that the Health System did plan to put the QRV’s into service and that he believed that they would be the most appropriate vehicles to deliver the best and fastest care to patients and that they would be used in addition to and not instead of dispatching an ambulance. QRV’s Quick Response Vehicles can help emergency medical organizations use their resources efficiently, sending Steed, Caroline Stein, Jacob Sutton, Haydn Taylor, Victoria Wall, Christopher Weiss Jr., Michael Weiss, and Tamya Wilson. 4th Grade Tessa Bowie, Chloe Bowman, Lucas Breedlove, Dallas Brock, Nathan Brogden, Rebecca Brown, Jessica Burney, Kaleb Cahoon, Christyn Campbell, Carolina Carraway, Raul Castanon, Makayla Chavis, Austin Daily, Madison Davis, Dawson Dement, Samuel Deskus, Sean Deuger, Andrew Dickerson, Sarah Dickerson, Evan Dixon, William Farrell, Shauna Fauer, Mary Megan Ferguson, Chase Fritz, Stefan Godel, Kory Hammett, Tyler Houghton, Courtney Hults, Taylor Longmire, Maria Lopez- Garcia, Sierra McAroy, Savannah Morgan, Milena Nelsen, Gadiel Ogaz- Urueta, Jacob Oliver, Malia Olson-Thornburg, Kendall Panciera, Hannah Parrott, Denis Pendergrass, Alyssa Perry, Kayla Romig, Logan Skiff, Destiny Steed, Haleigh Tester, Carson Thompson, Tyrese Thompson, and Shannon Wynn. 5th Grade this smaller vehicle to the scene of an emergency call, where they can assess an incident’s severity (especially where there is reason to suspect the injury or illness is not serious) and call in additional help if required. The QRV is smaller than an ambulance so it can maneuver to places at a quicker pace and can be staffed by a single medical professional. Such vehicles can also provide first aid assistance for patients who do not require hospital treatment, and can be treated at the scene by the crew on site (such as cuts and bruises to non-dangerous body areas), which saves conventional ambulances for other, more urgent jobs. Other uses for QRV’s include work as a “supervisor” vehicle where an officer or supervisor responds to various calls but does not ride on the ambulance to the hospital. This principle especially applies where the QRV is crewed by a paramedic, who can assist lower qualified staff, such as emergency medical technicians on an ambulance, meaning fewer people at the higher qualification level are required. However, dependent on the jurisdiction and needs of the individual service, any level of emergency medical provider from first responder to doctor can be found on these vehicles. Granville Health System provides care to more than 86,000 patients a year and has over 100 physicians representing numerous specialities on its medical staff. The main campus is located at 1010 College Street, Oxford, North Carolina, 27565. For more information about Granville Health System, visit GHS online at www.granvillemedical.com. Billing for the ambulance service will now be handled by the hospital. At the budget consideration meeting county manager Alligood told the commissioners that the change of EMS operation could save the county $150,000 and further savings were possible because of lower insurance premiums in the future. The EMS change in operations is expected to be phased in over a period of weeks or months.
