FAT HARRY’S 

Cooking Column 

by Harry Coleman 

The cancer Harry had been fighting claimed 

his life early Tuesday morning abut 6 a.m. His 

family and staff appreciate all the phone calls 

and visits expressing sympathy. 

There will be a memorial service held this 

Sunday, October 28 at 3pm at Butner 

Presbyterian Church in Butner. 

For over 30 years Harry used this space to 

communicate with the public and recognize 

special people. 

Time did not allow us to remember Harry the 

way we would like to here in his column for this 

week. 

So in his memory we are running one of his 

favorite columns about a fishing trip with his 

grandson, Alex. 

Originally published May 5, 2011 

I think Alex was surprised that he really did catch 

a fish! 

It was his first time fishing and he reeled in a brim 

and then another and then a third almost as fast as a 

new worm could be put on the hook. 

Alex likes worms. 

He was only too happy to dig another worm out of 

the cup of dirt we were keeping them in. He didn’t 

like to put the worms on the hook. 

“You do it Fat,” he told me. 

He doesn’t like killing the worms. 

Taking him fishing at Lake Holt in Butner was 

my idea. 

It was a beautiful Spring day last Sunday and the 

weather made it a very nice day for a picnic. 

Our family brought a chicken box and a 

watermelon to one of the picnic tables for a late lunch. 

I brought a couple of fishing reels that had been 

stored for several years in an upstairs closet. 

The old gear didn’t really work like it was supposed 

to but they worked well enough that both Alex and I 

could get our corks out about 10 feet into the water. 

Alex caught three fish so easily that he got bored 

quickly and went back to playing with his worms and 

the fish he had already caught. 

They most likely weren’t the biggest fish in the 

lake. 

His grandmother wanted him to throw his fish 

back “so they could grow some more” but Alex would 

have none of that. He caught ‘em and he was going to 

keep ‘em. 

Fat didn’t quite measure up to Alex’s record. He 

caught two fish and a big oak leaf. 

Alex thought is was hilarious that his granddad 

had pulled that big left in expecting to have a fish on 

the line. 

Alex calls his grandmother Tee-tee. She’s not 

exactly the outdoors type. 

She was there because Fat and Tee-tee alternate 

deciding what to do on the weekends and this was 

Fat’s weekend. 

To say that the idea of eating outside without 

napkins and putting real worms on a hood did not 

particularly agree with her idea of fun was an 

understatement. 

But even Tee-tee had to admit that she enjoyed 

the afternoon. 

Watching Alex’s expression when he reeled in his 

first fish and enjoying the pleasant time in such a 

beautiful place won her over. Also the guy in the store 

at the lake was extra nice to her. He went to the back 

office to come up with some plastic spoons when we 

discovered that we didn’t have any for the mashed 

potatoes and cole slaw. 

The day provided a fun and inexpensive way to 

enjoy a little family bonding time at one of the many 

places that are a real asset for our community. 

Alex looks for worms 

The light fades after a beautiful day of fishing, picnicing and 

enjoying nature and family. 

The Butner-Creedmoor News was Harry’s 

ife. The office was more of his home than his 

wn house. 

May he have an eternity of beautiful and 

eaceful days like this day he shared with Alex. 

Rest in Peace Harry. 

You may be gone but you will not be forgotten. 

SOAP OPERA REVIEW 

BOLD AND 

BEAUTIFUL 

As Brooke tried to get 

Katie to take an interest in 

mothering her baby, Katie 

recalled advice she had 

been given by Taylor, and 

stunned Bill with a 

shocking declaration. 

Thomas grew increasingly 

angry when Caroline 

ignored his attempts to 

win her back. Caroline was 

shaken when Rick 

confessed his role in 

keeping Hope and Liam 

apart. 

DAYS OF OUR LIVES 

After swearing to John 

that she’s not in Salem to 

cause trouble, but wants to 

make amends, Kristen 

offered to help EJ get 

Sami. Much to Sami’s 

frustration, Kristen is now 

her boss. Nicole agreed not 

to press charges against 

Jennifer in return for 

going away with Daniel, 

but damning evidence 

remained hidden at the 

hospital. With Hope’s 

blessing, Bo accompanied 

Caroline to a treatment 

program in California. 

EMILY OWENS, M.D. 

Emily’s bad reputation 

with the nurses led to her 

being handed a specific 

case as revenge. With a 

patient’s life on the line, 

Emily weighed using the 

secret she knows about the 

chief of surgery to get a 

procedure approved. To 

avoid more awkwardness 

with Will, Emily lied that 

she’s interested in 

someone else. Micah was 

surprised to find someone 

new making his mom’s 

chemo treatments more 

bearable. 

GENERAL 

HOSPITAL 

Dante comforted Lulu, 

who was stricken to learn 

that she can’t have 

children. Wanting to get 

the real DNA test results 

to Sam without 

implicating himself, Todd 

believed that the key lay 

with Heather. Sonny 

discovered that Joe Jr. is 

at large and had 

threatened Starr, who 

pleaded with Trey to do the 

right thing. Maxie 

renewed her quest to land 

Spinelli. Duke insisted to 

Anna that all he wants is 

to prove himself to her. 

GOSSIP GIRL 

Pressured to make her 

Waldorf Designs fashion 

show a success, Blair got 

unlikely help, but still 

faced a scandal on the 

runway. Sage’s trickery 

forced Serena to postpone 

handling her issues with 

Blair. When Nate 

published Dan’s first 

serialized article, it 

produced a serious threat. 

Chuck examined the clues 

Amira left him to uncover 

about what Bart is hiding. 

NASHVILLE 

As Rayna became 

more involved in her 

children’s lives and her 

husband’s mayoral 

campaign, she was taken 

aback to learn that she and 

Teddy face financial ruin. 

Juliette offered Deacon an 

exclusive contract to write 

and tour with her. 

Juliette’s troubled mother, 

Jolene, made a dramatic 

re-entry into her 

daughter’s life. Scarlett 

and Gunnar’s big break 

with Watty was 

threatened. 

90210 

Posing as a wealthy 

investor, Naomi invited 

Alec to her yacht, leading 

to a kiss, which Naomi 

rebuffed. Unaware that 

Alec planted the kiss as 

blackmail, Naomi told 

Max. Liam learned that he 

needs Vanessa’s approval 

to finalize his video game 

contract. Later, a detective 

questioned Liam about 

Vanessa’s whereabouts. 

Riley insisted that Dixon 

needs an attitude change 

to recover. Silver worried 

about losing her looks. 

Coming: Silver begins to 

ONCE UPON A TIME 

Regina continued to 

restrain herself from using 

magic in order to win 

back Henry’s love, but 

began seeing what she 

believed is a ghost from 

her past. When Mary 

Margaret and Emma 

discovered a survivor 

from the ogre massacre, 

Emma wondered 

whether he was telling 

the truth. In the fairytale 

land that was, Regina 

failed to learn the dark 

arts because her past is 

preventing her from 

using magic for evil. 

Coming: Regina is caught 

PRETTY LITTLE 

LIARS 

On this special 

Halloween broadcast, the 

girls hoped to enjoy the 

holiday and leave the 

trauma with Nate in the 

past. However, the 

Rosewood Ghost Train 

held more than tricks 

and treats for its unwary 

passengers. “A” was 

clearly on the loose, and 

amid the unexpected 

guests was at least one 

person who could make 

the Halloween party 

fatally memorable. 

REVENGE 

The arrival of people 

from the past to the 

Hamptons held special 

significance for Victoria 

and Emily. Victoria 

would have to face the 

one person whose advice 

permanently changed 

the course of her life. 

Jack’s sense of duty was 

uppermost with the 

baby’s arrival. Padma’s 

actions could have a 

major effect on Nolcorp. 

666 PARK AVENUE 

Jane was menaced 

by the spirit from the 

suitcase. Gavin received 

anonymous texts that 

threatened Olivia’s 

safety. Henry met with a 

media consultant 

interested in taking his 

political career to a new 

level. Brian showed his 

jealousy when he grilled 

Louise about her 

rendezvous with Dr. 

Evans while she was 

recovering from the 

elevator “accident.” 

SWITCHED AT 

BIRTH 

On the season finale, 

Bay’s parents tried to 

persuade her to return 

home, but instead Bay 

and Zarra made a 

decision that led to a 

terrible result. The trial 

against the hospital 

reached a shocking 

conclusion that had 

consequences for many 

people. Daphne met the 

restaurant owner, not 

under the best of 

circumstances, as her 

relationship with Jeff 

went public. 

VAMPIRE DIARIES 

Dr. Fell helped 

Damon and Klaus to 

question Connor, which 

led to a violent outcome. 

Rebekah’s arrival at 

Mystic Falls High led 

Elena to learn that 

confronting an old 

vampire could be very 

dangerous. Tyler was 

visited by Hayley, a 

werewolf who helped him 

break his sire-bond to 

Klaus. Stefan sought 

advice from Caroline 

about the hard time 

Elena is having trying to 

act normal. Coming: 

Connor knows who he 

must destroy. 

YOUNG AND 

RESTLESS 

Adam confirmed to a 

confused Sharon that she 

set the fire at the 

Newman ranch and 

promised to make sure 

that no one suspects her. 

Nikki agreed to remarry 

Victor and rebuild the 

ranch for their wedding 

reception. Phyllis told 

Ronan she can’t have him 

and a troubled Summer 

in her life at the same 

time. Jack suffered a 

sharp pain in his back. 

Cane believed that 

Genevieve ruined his 

chance for a promotion.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope 

Oct. 26, 2012 - Nov. 1, 2012 

by Lasha Seniuk 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19): Accentuate 

the positive. Be willing 

to try on new tasks for 

size. You could be called 

upon to test your skills 

in a completely different 

venue in the upcoming 

week. Stretch your 

muscles literally or 

figuratively. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20): Be a perfect 

citizen. Cross your t’s 

and dot your i’s and give 

no one a reason to find 

fault with your 

performance. Hold off 

on making crucial 

decisions and 

commitments until the 

end of the week. 

GEMINI (May 21- 

June 20): Ferret out 

the information you 

need to make things run 

more smoothly. Don’t be 

afraid to ask for a 

helping hand from a 

partner. Your friends 

will be looking for 

lighthearted fun by the 

end of the week. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22): Wait and see. 

Losses can accumulate 

if you spin the roulette 

wheel with investments 

or career in the middle 

of the week. Bide your 

time, as good things will 

come to those who 

practice patience. 

LEO (July 23- Aug. 

22): Make dreams come 

true. The next few days 

offer a perfect 

atmosphere to put the 

finishing touches on 

your artistic or creative 

endeavors. The second 

half of the week may 

require a sleeves-rolledup 

technique. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23- 

Sept. 22): Step lively. 

There will be so much 

going on that you will 

need to dance a jig, or at 

least get a to-do list in 

hand, to keep up. The 

middle of the week 

could be a very poor 

time to make purchases 

or investments. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23- 

Oct. 22): You can’t hear 

it, see it or poke it with 

a stick, but you have 

what it takes to make

the grade. Make the best 

use of your ability to blend 

in as one of the gang at 

the end of the week and 

form new contacts. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- 

Nov. 21): Heed the call of 

the whimsical. A great 

deal of fun can be stirred 

up by using a small bit of 

imagination early in the 

week. Significant 

relationships might need 

some tender loving care; 

let intuition guide you. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

22- Dec. 21): Make a 

splash as the most 

entertaining party person 

during weekend 

activities. Don’t start 

anything of importance in 

the middle of the week, as 

conditions could change 

in the blink of an eye. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22- Jan. 19): Be a good 

sport. Under all the 

teasing and horseplay, 

there may be some true 

kindness 

and 

understanding. Your 

intuitions are a bit 

stronger early in the 

week, so ignore words and 

listen to your heart. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 18): If tasteful 

purchases for the home 

are on the agenda, you 

may find small items of 

enduring value in the 

beginning or end of the 

week. The stars are not 

helpful enough for major 

investments or contracts. 

PISCES (Feb. 19- 

March 20): Stick to the 

status quo. The cosmic 

traffic light is red where 

new ventures are

Letter To The Editor 

HEALTHY LIVING EVENT A SUCCESS 

To the Editor: 

On behalf of Cardinal Innovations -Five County 

Community Operations Center and the Granville- 

Vance District Health Department, we would like to 

thank the many individuals who contributed their time 

and effort to make the Healthy Living for a Lifetime 

Health Screening event such a success. The healthy 

living for a lifetime program featured a state-of-theart, 

echo-friendly 50-foot mobile health-screening unit. 

They provided a variety of health screenings, including 

blood pressure, total cholesterol, glucose, body mass 

index, and vascular ultrasound to the residents of 

Granville county rural North Carolinians at no cost! 

A special thank you to the Granville County Farm 

Bureau for supporting this initiative. We appreciate 

the invaluable commitment and involvement to 

improve the overall health of Granville County citizens. 

The North Carolina Farm Bureau has a long history 

of giving back to rural communities and have held free 

screenings in all of the surrounding five county areas. 

Healthy Living for a Lifetime is an excellent initiative, 

not only because it offers free health screenings and 

educational materials, but also because it helps people 

become more aware of their health. 

Preventive care is an important part, if not the most 

important part, of staying healthy and curbing the 

onset of chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease. 

We are excited to have worked with Farm Bureau to 

provide these screenings and applaud their efforts to 

make preventive care services more accessible to the 

people of Granville County. 

Most importantly, we would like to thank the 

community who participated in the event. One hundred 

fifty five persons turned out and made our efforts 

worthwhile. 

For those of you who discovered potential health 

problems, I hope you follow up with the appropriate

should not be so long that 

they are a tripping 

hazard; Make sure that 

shoes fit well to prevent 

trips and falls; If children 

are allowed out after 

dark, outfits should be 

made with light colored 

materials. Strips of retroreflective 

tape should be 

used to make children 

visible. 

Face Design: 

Do not use masks as 

they can obstruct a child’s 

vision. Use facial makeup 

instead ; When buying

Four Appellate Court 

Seats To Be Decided 

I f Republicans 

control the legislature 

and governor's office next 

year, 2012 could be the 

last time that North 

Carolina voters go the 

polls to select judges 

without party labels. 

State Republicans 

have made no bones 

about their distaste 

about selecting judges on 

a nonpartisan basis. 

Former GOP state 

chair Tom Fetzer noted 

earlier this year that 

many Republicans 

believe the legislature's 

decision in 2004 to drop 

the Rs and Ds next to 

judicial candidates' 

names came because of 

Republican successes in 

judicial elections. 

The argument for 

dropping partisan labels 

on the election ballot was 

that the law shouldn't be 

partisan. 

This year, North 

Carolina voters will 

decide four appellate 

court races without those 

labels.

is seeking a second eightyear

R ALEIGH 

By Scott

President Emeritus 

William Friday. 

At the same time they 

are enjoying sharing 

memories of how Friday 

touched them. 

I want to be a part of 

the storytelling by 

sharing a few things I 

remember about visiting 

him in his office about 

three years ago to see if a 

heart incident and followup 

surgery had slowed 

him down. 

"He’s slowed down a 

little bit, but not much," 

his long-time assistant 

Virginia Taylor told me 

then. "He’s in the office 

two or three days a week, 

at least, for telephone 

calls, meetings and 

correspondence—and 

preparing for his 

television show. And he 

still goes places for events 

and to see people." 

Every week for more 

than 40 years, Friday 

interviewed important 

North Carolinians on 

UNC-TV’s "North 

Carolina People," even 

recording a program this 

summer just a few weeks 

before he died. Recently 

he recorded most of his 

television near his office 

on the UNC-Chapel Hill 

campus, but missed 

traveling to the far 

Standards for Cosmetics,” 

or “Non-Toxic.” Follow 

manufacturer’s instruction 

for application; If 

masks are worn, they 

should have nose and 

mouth openings and large 

eye holes. 

Accessories: 

Knives, swords and 

other accessories should 

be made from cardboard 

or flexible materials. Do 

not allow children to carry 

sharp objects; Bags or 

sacks carried by youngsters 

should be light-colored 

or trimmed with 

retro-reflective tape if 

children are allowed out 

after dark; Carrying 

flashlights with fresh 

batteries will help 

children see better and be 

seen more clearly.

Marty McGee. 

Linda McGee has 

been on the court since 

1995, while Bryant took 

reaches of 

the state

told me 

his routine for regaining 

and maintaining his good 

health. 

"Stay active—and 

exercise," he said, and 

then told me about his 

twice-a-week workout. 

"For one solid hour I lift 

weights, exercise my legs, 

arms, chest, and biceps. I 

have even seen muscles 

growing, which is a 

terrifying thought at 89 

years of age." 

He kept to that 

routine into his 90s. 

Friday and his wife, 

Ida, were also regular 

walkers. One neighbor 

said the "way they care for 

each other is 

heartwarming." 

At his office, Friday 

spent a lot of time on the 

telephone, Taylor told me 

when I made the earlier 

visit.

partisan

won't appear on the

incumbent Court of

Democrats and all three 

of their challengers are 

Republicans. 

In the Supreme Court 

race, Newby is a 

Republican and Ervin a 

Democrat. 

Those party distinctions 

may not show up 

in ads or flyers promoting 

the candidates either. 

But a so-called Super 

PAC headed by Fetzer 

and funded by some 

prominent Republican 

activists has already 

begun promoting Newby's 

candidacy in a humorous 

TV ad that emphasizes a 

reputation for being

even as he 

said, "There is so much 

more to do or we will fall

To the end, Friday 

continued to enjoy the 

university community, 

where he and Ida lived 

when he entered the UNC 

School of Law after 

serving in World War II. 

They never left. 

Until recently, most 

every Saturday, you could

visited regularly to tend 

to her gravesite, with its 

green lawn and growing 

flowers that make it one 

of the loveliest places in 

Chapel Hill. 

Close to his desk is a 

framed quote from 1st 

Corinthians, Chapter 13. 

Love is patient, and 

kind; 

Love is not jealous or 

boastful; 

It is not arrogant or 

rude. 

Love does not insist on 

its own way; 

It is not irritable or 

resentful; It does not 

rejoice at wrong, 

But rejoices in the 

right.. 

Love bears all things, 

believes all things, 

Hopes all things, 

endures all things. 

"It was Betsy’s," 

Taylor told me a few years 

ago. "He reads it every 

day. It is what he lives by, 

everyday, too." 

I bet Mr. Friday would 

recommend that passage 

for daily reading by each 

of us.

a new roof, plumbing and 

electrical upgrades, 

window replacement, a 

new gym floor, parking lot 

resurfacing, and cosmetic 

upgrades. 

Total costs of upgrades 

are approximately 

$788,300 to $898,300, not 

including resurfacing the 

parking lot. It should be 

noted that the building is 

structurally sound. 

Although every item 

does not need to be 

immediately renovated, a 

grant from the NC Rural 

Center would aid the 

Town tremendously in 

funding the upgrades to 

this facility. In return, the 

community would greatly 

benefit from any and all 

potential uses of this 

complex for many years to 

come. 

The Town has enough 

money for the local 

maximum match to make 

this project a success. A 

grant from the NC Rural 

Center would allow the 

Town to redevelop this 

property with the 

intention of extending 

community activities to 


County. 

Access to this facility 

would provide numerous 

benefits for the seniors, 

adults and youth who 

work and reside in Butner 

and potentially may 

attract other individuals 

to the Town.

ewer Infrastructure 

roject being funded by 

rants from the U.S. 

epartment of 

griculture nears its 

ompletion, crews are 

usy performing what 

as projected to be the 

ost difficult part of what 

as been a very successful 

roject. Down to the final 

tages, crews are 

urrently performing 

alve replacements, 

ervice tie-ins and 

ipeline separations.

LOOKING AHEAD 

The City has been 

notifying residents/ 

business owners in areas 

affected by service 

interruptions and 

subsequent boil water 

advisories via hang tags 

and follow-up recorded 

phone calls. In addition, 

residents/business owners 

in an expanded area of the 

projected area to be 

affected are being notified 

as there is a remote 

chance these areas could 

also experience an 

interruption. If you do not 

receive a recorded phone 

message within 24-hrs of 

receipt of a hangtag, 

please contact City Hall to 

update your telephone 

number on record. 

Below is the current 

construction schedule for 

water valve replacements, 

service tie-ins and 

pipeline separations. 

Please note that this 

schedule is weather 

permitting and will move 

forward one day in the 

event of rain: 

• Hydrant 

replacement will be 

performed on Wednesday, 

10/24 from 8:00 a.m. to 

12:00 p.m. on Lyon Street.

alongside NC 56 from 

downtown Creedmoor 

going east past B.C. 

Roberts ball fields, 

Creedmoor Elementary, 


School, and ending at the 

Food Lion Shopping 

center and the Pine Valley 

Subdivision. These 

sidewalks will provide a 

safe route for families and 

school children to walk or 

ride to school and 

recreation sites without 

getting in cars and 

producing emissions, and 

it will keep them much 

safer walking along this 

section of NC 56. 

Citizens will recognize 

Centurion Construction 

as the contractor for this 

project as they are also the 

contractor for the USDA 

funded Water and Sewer 

Infrastructure project. 

• Crews will be 

working in the area of 

Pine Valley subdivision. 

Sidewalk pour in the Pine 

Valley area by the end of 

the week. Once poured, no 

more work will be 

conducted in this area 

until crews return at a 

later date to clean up and 

do final dressing. 

• Crews will also be 

working in the area of NC- 

56 in front of the schools. 

Construction to be 

performed in this area 

this week with concrete 

pour to follow next week. 

One lane of traffic is 

expected to be closed for 

the duration of the next 

two weeks. 

• The City apologizes 

for any inconvenience and 

thanks its citizens for 

their patience. 

The City requests that 

citizens use caution when 

driving in the work zones 

as there may be 

unexpected traffic 

changes as well as work 

crews and construction 

equipment on-site. In 

addition, construction 

personnel will be 

surveying and performing 

site checks throughout the 

City; these workers will be 

easily identifiable by their 

vests and hard hats. 

As construction on our 

projects progresses, 

further updates will be 

available through our 

automatic email 

notification list. For 

questions or concerns 

related to these projects, 

or to be added to the 

notification list, please

PROPOSED 

INSURANCE 

RATES EXCESSIVE 

Insurance Commissioner 

Wayne 

Goodwin has ordered 

that a hearing be held in 

the matter of the 

insurance companies’ 

request to raise 

homeowners insurance 

rates, stating that the 

proposed rates appear to 

be excessive and unfairly 

discriminatory. 

The insurance 

companies, represented 

by the North Carolina 

Rate Bureau, have 

requested an overall 

statewide average 

increase of 17.7 percent 

for homeowners 

insurance rates. 

The hearing, which is 

open to the public, is 

scheduled to begin on 

June 3, 2013, at 10 a.m. 

at 430 N. Salisbury St. in 

Raleigh. 

Commissioner Goodwin 

will serve as the 

hearing officer and listen 

to experts from the 

Department of Insurance 

and the Rate Bureau to 

decide what rate 

changes, if any, are 

warranted. 

The Department of 

Insurance’s role is to 

represent the interests of 

the public. After an initial 

review of the filing and 

comments submitted by 

the public, Department 

experts believe the 

requested rate increases 

are not justified based on 

the data submitted. The 

following concerns, 

among others, may be 

raised at the hearing: 

• Old data: In the 

ratemaking process, data 

typically runs two years 

behind the date of the 

rate filing. The filing is 

based on data from 2005 

to 2009; however, data 

from at least as recently 

as 2010 was available at 

the time this filing was 

compiled. 

• Risk factors: The 

filing includes various 

risk factors used to 

calculate the indicated 

rate changes. The Rate 

Bureau claims these 

factors (such as the net 

cost of reinsurance and 

compensation for 

assessment risk) are a 

necessary cost of doing 

business in North 

Carolina. The concern is 

that the factors do not 

appear to be justified and 

result in a substantial 

increase in rates. 

• Profit methodology: 

The Rate Bureau uses a 

methodology that is not 

allowed in North 

Carolina and has been 

successfully challenged 

in the 2001 auto 

insurance case, which 

was decided by the N.C. 

Supreme Court. This 

methodology results in 

excessive profit factors of 

10.5 percent. 

• Deviations: The 

Rate Bureau includes a 

factor for deviations 

(discounts that some 

insurers give some of 

their policyholders) in the 

filing that, in effect, 

charges discounts back to 

consumers. The inclusion 

of a specific factor for 

deviations has been 

previously disallowed 

numerous times in auto 

filings litigated in the 

N.C. Supreme Court. 

• Hurricane model: 

The hurricane losses are 

derived using a hurricane 

model that does not appear 

to be adequately 

documented or justified.

Tax & Business 

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY 

Cozart & Edwards, PA 

Certified Public Accountants 

Tapping Into A Retirement 

Account Early can Be Taxing 

In case of emergency, you may need to withdraw 

funds from one of your retirement accounts. What are 

the tax consequences? It depends on several factors, 

including your age, the type of account, and the use of 

the funds. 

Here are the basic rules. Distributions from 

traditional IRAs and qualified plans, like a 401(k), 

are taxable at ordinary income rates. The tax applies 

to the portion of the distribution representing 

deductible contributions and earnings. Currently, the 

top federal income tax rate is 35%, but it’s scheduled 

to increase to 39.6% in 2013. 

In addition, if you’re under age 59 1/2, you will 

owe a 10% penalty tax on top of the regular income 

tax, unless a special exception applies. The following 

exceptions apply to both IRAs and qualified plans: 

Payments made due to death or disability. 

Substantially equal periodic payments for the 

longer of five years or until you reach age 59 1/2. 

Withdrawals to pay deductible medical expenses. 

Distributions to satisfy an IRS levy. 

Some exceptions are available only for IRA 

distributions. This includes withdrawals used to pay 

first-time homebuyer expenses (lifetime limit of 

$10,000), higher education expenses, or health 

insurance for the unemployed. The exceptions limited 

to qualified plans includes distributions made after 

age 55 if employment is terminated and distributions 

made under a "qualified domestic relations order" in 

divorce situations. 

Finally, separate rules apply to Roth IRA 

distributions. Qualified distributions from a Roth at 

least five years old are completely tax-free. For this 

purpose, "qualified distributions" include those made 

after age 59 1/2, due to death or disability, or to pay 

first-time homebuyer expenses (lifetime limit of 

$10,000). Otherwise, distributions are taxed under 

special "ordering rules" with tax-free contributions 

treated as coming out first and taxable distributions 

last. 

The tax rules on early distributions are 

complicated. For more information about the tax 

consequences of taking withdrawals from your 

retirement accounts, give us a call.

Help for Seniors Who Worry 

About Memory Problems 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

My mother, who’s 72, has become very forgetful 

lately and is worried she may have Alzheimer’s. Is her 

forgetfulness really something we should worry about? 

What should we do? 

Worried Daughter 

Dear Worried, 

Many seniors worry about memory lapses as they 

get older, fearing it may be the first signs of Alzheimer’s 

disease or some other type of dementia. To get some 

insight on the seriousness of your mom’s problem, here 

are some key warning signs to be vigilant of and some 

resources you can turn to for help. 

Warning Signs 

As we grow older, some memory difficulties – such 

as trouble remembering names of people or places or 

forgetting where you put your glasses – are associated 

with normal aging. But the symptoms of Alzheimer’s 

disease are much more than simple memory lapses. 

Knowing the early warning signs is a good first step 

in recognizing the difference between typical agerelated 

memory loss and a more serious problem. To 

help you evaluate your mom’s condition, here’s a 

checklist of some common early symptoms to watch 

for: 

• Asking the same questions repeatedly. 

• Getting lost in familiar areas. 

• Failing to recognize familiar people. 

• Having difficulty following directions. 

• Misplaces items in inappropriate places, for 

example putting her keys in the microwave. 

• Having difficulty completing familiar tasks like 

cooking a meal or paying a bill. 

• Having trouble remembering common words 

when speaking, or mixing up words. 

For more information, the Alzheimer’s Association 

provides a list of 10 warning signs that you can access 

at 10signs.org, or call 800-272-3900 and request a free 

copy of their booklet "Basics of Alzheimer’s Disease: 

What it is and what you can do." 

Another good screening tool is the selfadministered 

cognitive screening (SAGE) test that was 

developed at The Ohio State University Medical 

Center. This test helps identify mild cognitive 

impairment and early dementia, and can be taken at 

home in about 10 to 15 minutes. You can download 

the SAGE test along with scoring instructions at 

sagetest.osu.edu. 

Get Help 

After going through the warning signs and/or 

testing of your mom, if you’re still concerned, get her 

in to see her doctor for a thorough medical 

examination. Her doctor may then refer her to a 

geriatrician or neurologist who specializes in 

diagnosing and treating memory loss or Alzheimer’s 

disease. 

Keep in mind that even if your mom is experiencing 

some memory problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean 

she has early stage Alzheimer’s. Many memory 

problems are brought on by other factors like stress, 

depression, thyroid disease, side effects of medications, 

sleep disorders, vitamin deficiencies and other medical 

conditions. And by treating these conditions she can 

reduce or eliminate the problem. 

Free Memory Screening 

Another option you should know about is National 

Memory Screening Day on Nov. 13, where your mom 

can get her memory tested for free. Sponsored by the 

Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA), this free 

service provides a confidential, face-to-face memory 

screening that takes about 10 minutes to complete and 

consists of questions and/or tasks to evaluate her 

memory status. 

The screening is given by doctors, nurse 

practitioners, psychologists, social workers or other 

healthcare professionals in more than 2,500 sites 

across the country. It’s also important to know that 

this screening is not a diagnosis. Instead, its goal is to 

detect problems and refer individuals with these 

problems for further evaluation. 

To find a screening site in your area visit 

nationalmemoryscreening.org or call 866-232-8484. 

The AFA recommends checking for a screening location 

shortly before Nov. 13, because new sites are constantly 

being added.

FINANCIAL FOCUS 

CHRIS ELLIS 

EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT FIRM 

Time To Observe “Save For Retirement Week” 

October 21 through 27 is National Save for 

Retirement Week. What steps can you take to boost 

your retirement savings? 

For starters, pay yourself first. Every time you get 

paid, move some money, even if it’s only a small 

amount, from your checking or savings account into 

an investment. 

Also, boost your 401(k) contributions every time 

your salary goes up. And try to “max out” on your IRA 

each year. 

If possible, set up an emergency fund containing 

six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses. This will 

help keep you from dipping into your retirement 

accounts to pay for unexpected costs, such as an 

expensive car repair. 

On more tip: If you can lower your debt load, use 

this “found” money to invest for retirement. 

Save for Retirement Week will quickly come and 

go, but your retirement could last decades — which 

means it’s never too soon to start preparing.

appointed Moises , who 

most of you will 

remember from the first 

location as the new manager at the Butner location and 

the new wait staff there is wonderful too !! Antonio has 

always tried to make everyone feel like they have 

“come home” when they 

s tep into his restaurant and 

that same teamwork is 

evident at the new El Rio 

location in Butner. You are 

greeted when you come in 

and seated and brought 

chips, salsa and water right 

away. 

Antonio said “I have 

had requests for a long time to expand the restaurant. 

Many of our loyal 

customers wanted to be 

able to get their favorite 

Mexican dishes without 

the extra drive so we 

made it happen in 

Butner” !!! Antonio takes 

pride in the fact that all of 

Victor 

the employees at both El 

Rio locations are “like 

family” and they work as a “Team”. That teamwork 

ensures that an El Rio customer always gets the 

absolutely “Best Service” and always a “smile” with 

their meal. 

Both El Rio locations 

offer a varied menu of all of 

your favorite Mexican 

dishes, desserts and 

specialty drinks and they 

are open seven days a week 

for your dining pleasure. 

They are reasonably 

priced and their generous 

portions usually require 

getting a to-go box to take home for later. If you are 

already an El Rio customer, Antonio and the staff 

“Thank you” for your continued patronage for the past 

eight years here in Creedmoor and look forward to 

serving you in the new Butner location.

Granville Mayors Plan Joint Town Hall Meeting 


Mayors Tom Lane of 

Butner, Darryl Moss of 

Creedmoor, Jackie 

Sergent of Oxford, Nancy 

Alford of Stem and Janet 

Parrott of Stovall have 

announced the inaugural 

Joint Municipal Town 

Hall Meeting for 

November 15 at 6:30 pm 

to be held at the Butner 

Town Hall, 415 Central 

Avenue, Butner, NC. 

Ellis Hankins, North 

Carolina League of 

Municipalities Executive 

Director, will speak about 

the League’s core 

principals and provide 

update on pending 

legislation on issues of 

importance to 

municipalities. 

This event is the first 

effort for the newly 

formed Granville County 

Mayors Alliance 

(GCMA). The mayors 

have come together to 

create a cooperative 

alliance of the mayors for 

the Town of Butner, City 

of Creedmoor, City of 

Oxford, Town of Stem, 

and Town of Stovall. 

The group is seeking 

to foster communications 

among Granville county 

municipalities, support 

public policy decisions 

beneficial to them, 

coordinate activities 

among the towns that 

benefit the entire region, 

and communicate 

identified needs to 

federal, state and 

regional agencies and 

organizations, and to the 

residents of the region. 

The GCMA is 

committed to preserving 

the quality of life in 

Granville County by 

building strong and 

vibrant municipalities 

through communications 

and cooperation, 

progressive public 

policies, creative 

planning and land use, 

civic engagement, and 

public-private 

partnerships. 

Increasingly, towns 

reach across boundaries 

to promote a collective 

voice on issues that affect 

the entire region that 

cannot be effectively 

addressed by any one 

jurisdiction acting alone. 

The public is invited 

to join the first Joint 

Municipal Town Hall 

Meeting on November 15 

at 6:30 pm to be held at 

the Butner Town Hall, 

415 Central Avenue, 

Butner, NC. This is an 

opportunity for citizens 

to ask questions to their 

local jurisdictions.

Halloween Poses A Threat To Children With Food Allergies 

An estimated 15 

million Americans 

including approximately 6 

million children, have lifethreatening 

food allergies. 

Food allergies do not 

attack a particular 

gender, race, or age group. 

It can strike anyone at 

any given time, regardless 

of how many times you’ve 

eaten a certain food 

before. 

There is no cure for a 

life-threatening food 

allergy. The only way to 

“prevent” a lifethreatening 

reaction is 

through strict avoidance 

of your food allergen and 

to get a prescription for an 

Epinephrine Auto-injector 

(Epi-Pen) in case of 

accidental exposure of 

your allergen. 

The Top 8 Food 

Allergens recognized by 

the FDA are: Milk, Eggs, 

Fish, Crustacean 

Shellfish, Tree Nuts, 

Peanuts, Wheat, and 

Soybeans. While these 

top 8 allergens must be 

clearly identified on a food 

label by the 

manufacturer, the FDA 

does not require 

manufacturers to list 

whether or not a food has 

been manufactured on 

equipment or in a facility 

with these allergens. 

Studies have revealed 

foods made on the same 

equipment or in a facility 

as the allergen may 

contain minute traces of 

your allergen, which can 

be enough to trigger a 

reaction. 

If you are allergic to a 

NON-Top 8 Food Allergen 

such as sesame, 

sunflower, or mustard 

seeds for example, the 

allergen may be hidden 

under the ingredient 

Natural Flavors or Spices 

and a manufacturer does 

not legally have to disclose 

if it contains your allergen. 

Another aspect is that 

research shows a food 

allergen present in your 

food allergy child’s 

environment, such as the 

classroom or at the same 

lunch table, increases the 

risk of a life-threatening 

reaction occurring because 

the offending food can 

easily make its way onto 

your child’s plate and the 

oily residue from some 

allergens, such as peanut 

butter, can be easily 

spread by little fingers; 

meaning your child may 

suffer a life-threatening 

reaction if he or she 

touches the oily residue 

left behind on a table or 

doorknob and then touches 

his or her mouth, eyes, or 

nostrils. 

Food allergy reactions 

result in a trip to the 

emergency room every 3 

minutes and anaphylaxis, 

a serious allergic reaction 

that is rapid in onset and 

may cause death, occurs 

every 6 minutes. 

Epi-Pens can save 

lives, but only if 

administered 

immediately once a food 

allergy reaction has 

occurred, but it is NOT a 

cure. Epinephrine only 

buys about 15-20 minutes 

of time to reach an 

emergency room before 

the life-threatening 

symptoms return and 

more life-saving 

medication is required. 

As Halloween 

approaches, The 

Granville County Food 

Allergy Support Group 

would like to remind 

everyone to please take 

food allergies seriously. 

1. Learn how to 

recognize the signs and 

symptoms of an allergic 

reaction so that you can 

react quickly and call 911. 

Precious time is lost 

when adults do not 

immediately recognize 

that a reaction is 

occurring or don’t 

understand what a child 

is telling them. The 

symptoms may be mild 

(rashes, hives, itching, 

swelling, etc.) or severe 

(trouble breathing, 

wheezing, loss of 

consciousness, etc.). 

Examples of the words a 

child might use to 

describe a food allergy 

reaction is: “This food’s 

too spicy,” “It feels like 

something’s poking my 

tongue,” “My tongue (or 

mouth) is tingling, 

(burning, itches, or feels 

funny),” “It (my tongue) 

feels like there is hair on 

it (or feels full/heavy),” 

“There’s a frog in my 

throat (or something 

stuck in my throat),” “My 

lips feel tight,” “It feels 

like there are bugs in 

there” (to describe itchy 

ears), “It (my throat) 

feels thick,” “It feels like 

a bump is on the back of 

my tongue (throat).” 

2. Once diagnosed 

with a life-threatening 

food allergy, learn how to 

safely avoid your allergen 

and develop an 

emergency action plan 

with your doctor. 

3. Once prescribed by 

a doctor, carry your Epi- 

Pen with you at all times 

in case of an unforeseen 

accidental reaction. An 

Epi-Pen cannot save a life 

if left at home or in the 

car, or locked in a box/ 

office far away from your 

location. 

4. Communicate 

effectively, and often, with 

those in charge of caring 

for your child in your 

absence. Make sure they 

have food allergy and Epi- 

Pen training, and make 

sure they follow your 

child’s emergency action 

plan. Ensure that safe 

protocols are established 

for keeping your child’s 

food allergen out of his or 

her environment since the 

goal is to prevent a food 

allergy reaction. 

Teach your child about 

his/her food allergy and 

how to communicate 

immediately, if able, that 

they are suffering from a 

life-threatening reaction. 

For Halloween this 

year you may include 

those with lifethreatening 

food allergies 

by handing out stickers, 

tiny toys, or glow sticks 

instead of edible treats 

this year since most 

Halloween candy will 

inevitably contain at least 

one of the Top-8 Food 

Allergens. Teachers, 

caregivers, and parents, 

should advise children to 

not open or consume 

treats they’ve received at 

school, church, and trickor-treating 

until in their 

own homes; for their 

safety as well as for the 

safety of their food 

allergic classmates and 

friends that they will 

come in close contact 

with.
