Planners Find 

Zoning Solution 

Linda Toler was upset. 

Linda owns Liberty Coins and a health 

consulting business which are both located in the 

same building on Main Street in Creedmoor. She 

is very interested in supporting ways of healthy 

living and wholesome physical fitness. 

This spring she decided she wanted to open a 

produce stand to sell healthy locally grown produce 

as a part of her effort to promote healthy living. 

She made a deal with Lyon’s Farms to sell 

strawberries, tomatoes, blackberries and other 

produce grown on the Northside farm. 

“I wanted to set up the stand in the way required 

by the city before starting to sell the produce,” Toler 

said. 

She said she called Steve Colenda, the city’s 

building inspector and he instructed her in what 

to do and the set back she needed. Linda said she 

was told that a four foot space was required to be 

left open in front of the stand to prevent obstructing 

the sidewalk. 

She was granted 

her permit and paid [Continued On PAGE 9A] 

the fee to operate her 

Linda Toler owner of a produce stand in front of her 

business on Main Street is shown at the right in the photo 

above assisting a customer, Martha Spurling Reaves, 

shown at left, on Saturday June 23rd. 

Toler’s produce had been sold under a canvas that covered 

out to the street but she pulled it back Saturday to insure 

that five feet of space could be left in front of her stand to 

comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act to allow 

wheelchair access down the sidewalk. 

An additional site will be 

held in the Commissioner's 

Meeting 

Room at Creedmoor City 

Hall located at 111 

Masonic Street, Creedmoor, 

NC 27522. There 

will be no In-person 

registration during the 

One-Stop absentee voting 

period for the Second 

Primary. One-Stop 

begins Thursday, June 28, 

2012 and ends Saturday, 

July 14, 2012. One-stop 

voting hours are Monday 

through Friday from 8:30- 

5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 

July 14, 2012 from 8:30- 

1:00 p.m. at both 

locations. This is the only 

Saturday that we will be 

open. We will be closed on 

Wednesday, July 4, 2012 

in observance of the 

Fourth of July holiday. 

Canvass Day will be held 

at 11:00 a.m. in the 

Granville County Board 

of Elections office in 

Oxford, North Carolina 

on Tuesday, July 24, 2012. 

Government 

Ordinances 

Approved 

Because of a bill that 

passed he state 

legislature Butner, 

Creedmoor, Stem and the 

unincorporated portions 

of Granville County were 

all required to approve 

local ordinances aimed to 

control the stormwater 

from their watersheds 

which create run-off into 

the Falls Lake. 

All the local 

governments in the 

county held drop in 

sessions this week to 

provide in person 

information about the 

impacts and cost of the 

law designed to protect 

the quality of the drinking 

water for the City of 

Raleigh and other 

d o w n s t r e a m 

municipalities around 

Raleigh. 

The county passed 

their stormwater 

ordinance earlier making 

it clear in the wording of 

the ordinance that it was 

being passed under 

protest because of the 

state mandate that the 

local governments had to 

approve. 

The Stem Town 

Board, at a special 

meeting on June 21, voted 

to adopt a stormwater ordinance 

for new 

development, an 

ordinance establishing a 

stormwater management 

utility, and a related 

utility fee schedule. The 

meeting immediately 

followed a public hearing 

on the issue. 

Also at the meeting, 

the board approved an 

interlocal agreement that 

allows the town to become 

a partner with Butner, 

Creedmoor, Granville 

County, and Person 

County for the joint 

operation of a stormwater

FAT HARRY’S 

Cooking Column 

by Harry Coleman 

On August 7, 2011 Adnane Mezouar arrived at 

RDU from Morocco as part of the YES program 

having earned a scholarship through the US Dept. 

of State. 

The Goreman Family of Granville County had 

hosted 8 students before choosing Adnane’s profile. 

“We were very excited to learn more about Morocco 

this year,” she said. 

“We encouraged 

Adnane to join sports 

at Granville Central 

High School so he 

chose to try American 

football for the first 

time, he became part 

of the wrestling team 

next and decided to 

take a break from 

sports for the 

Spring.” 

“We enjoyed 

seeing Granville 

County through 

Adnane’s eyes during 

the year and hearing 

how some things 

Adnane Mezouar 

were the same as in Morocco while other things 

were very different,” she added. 

Through family trips, daily life activities, school 

and community involvement the Goreman family 

added Adnane as their newest son. 

“We’ve grown to be very close to him. Hosting 

a CIEE student has been very rewarding for our 

family this year and we encourage other Granville 

area families to also take advantage of this 

wonderful opportunity by choosing a student 

through the website at www.ciee.org/highschool. 

“One of Adnane’s final activities here was to 

attend the Butner Chicken Pickin’ which he really 

enjoyed.” We will definitely miss Adnane and stay 

in touch with him as much as possible.” 

If you would like more information about 

hosting a student, please contact Joy Goreman at 

919-830-9194.

SOAP OPERA REVIEW 

BOLD AND 

BEAUTIFUL 

Steffy became aware 

that Taylor believes she’s 

hiding something about 

what happened in Italy, 

and pleaded with her not 

to dig any deeper. Asking 

Ridge for his support, 

Taylor encouraged Steffy 

not to give up on the man 

she wants. Brooke tried 

to convince Hope to cut 

all ties with Deacon and 

offered a gesture of peace 

to Steffy. Later, after

day, Brooke and Katie 

stumbled upon a secret 

that Liam has been

When Kris started 

coming on to Stephanie, 

his actions sparked a

when paranormal investigators

DAYS OF OUR 

LIVES 

Will got a hold of E.J.’s 

hidden document and 

finally learned that E.J.

with this powerful 

information, Will confronted 

E.J. and 

threatened to go to the 

police unless E.J. 

reinstates all the perks of 

his job and teaches Will 

everything he knows. 

Pushed by Will to take 

the lie detector test that 

would remove him as a 

suspect, E.J. arrived at 

the police station. Rafe 

denied Sami’s accusation

Melanie captive, but was 

trapped into accepting 

the situation when 

Andrew implied that

After John accused 

Joe Scully Jr. of 

murdering his half-sister,

Sonny that he hurt Kate/

questioning of Tracy 

about the night 

Anthony’s body disappeared 

left her with 

more that she needs to

be ecstatic after getting 

financing for her project, 

she instead questioned the 

methods she used to 

achieve her goal. Connor’s 

downward spiral continued, 

leaving him at an 

all-time low. Tariq won 

praise by bringing Abby to 

the studio to record some 

vocals, but Kaldrick, 

worried that Abby might 

know too much, 

threatened her into 

keeping quiet. Although

angry spirit and asked 

Bonnie to locate the source

use his connection to the 

other side to reach Stefan, 

but instead, the exploration 

forced Jeremy to 

make a terrible choice.

clue to the past 

that could affect many 

lives. Coming: Visits from 

an ancient family bring 

big trouble. 

YOUNG AND 

RESTLESS

publicity stunt. Ashley 

shared the news with 

Victor, who taught Abby a 

lesson when she and 

Carmine were arrested 

and he was charged with 

kidnapping. Cane was 

upset by a strange email 

that used the secret 

names he and Samantha 

called each other as kids. 

Genevieve swore she had 

nothing to do with the 

email but was affected 

when Cane implied that 

Samantha could be alive. 

After Ricky fell out of the 

window, the police took 

Paul’s gun and questioned 

him, prompting Paul to 

admit that he shot Ricky 

to stop him from killing 

Eden. Lauren told 

Michael that the gun is 

hers, as Michael urged her 

to wait before surrendering 

herself to the 

police. Anita provided 

evidence that led a 

shocked Gloria to declare 

that Jeff is Chelsea’s 

father.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope 

June 28, 2012 - July 4, 2012 

by Lasha Seniuk 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19): Land on your 

feet. A few shakeups 

from the past week could 

leave you up in the air. 

Rest assured that, like a 

cat, you won’t fall down 

no matter what changes 

or pressures are brought 

to bear this week. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20): Nurture the 

promptings of moral 

sense. In the week 

ahead, those who want 

to win at all costs may 

suggest ways to take 

advantage of loopholes. 

Stick to high moral 

ground, even if it seems 

unpopular. 

GEMINI (May 21- 

June 20): Open the 

fortune cookie and read 

the message, but take it 

with a grain of salt. 

Enjoy assurances that 

things are going well in 

the week ahead. 

However, this is not a 

good week to launch 

initiatives. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22): Fixate on finetuning 

friend and foe. In 

the week to come, don’t 

get distracted by 

someone’s charm. Those 

who help you are not 

always your friends and 

those who oppose you 

are not always enemies. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 

22): You don’t need to 

climb Jacob’s ladder to 

heighten experiences. 

There may be more than 

one instance during the 

week ahead when you 

will be tempted to shake 

things up just to show 

your importance. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23- 

Sept. 22): If you wait for 

perfect conditions, 

nothing would ever be 

achieved. But in the 

upcoming week, starting 

a key undertaking under 

poor conditions will only 

slow you down. Hold off 

on initiatives. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

22.): Virtue in the 

absence of opportunity is 

hardly a moral triumph. 

It may be easy for you to 

criticize others unless

you’ve walked a mile in 

their shoes. During the 

week ahead, refrain from 

value judgments. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- 

Nov. 21): There are no 

dress rehearsals for life. 

In the week to come, you 

might be faced by 

challenges that you are 

completely unprepared to 

handle. Don’t make 

crucial decisions until you 

are sure of your part. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

22-Dec. 21): The wise 

does at once what the fool 

does at last. You have 

been procrastinating, so 

your money seems to seep 

out of your pocket. In the 

week ahead, put a stopper 

on a financial drain. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19): Get behind 

the eight ball before the 

eight ball knocks you out 

of place. In the week to 

come, you might find that 

strains and stresses take 

their toll. Avoid making 

any crucial changes or 

decisions. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 18): If you hike in 

the wild, be prepared to 

wrestle a bear. An 

exploration of the 

unknown could put you 

up against something 

bigger than yourself. 

Stick to what you know in 

the week to come. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 

20): There is no shame in 

being a geek when a 

geeky problem arises. The 

dictionary is a good tool 

that you shouldn’t be 

ashamed to use in the 

week ahead. Verify the 

facts before committing.

Rick Flowe,

The solution Flowe

Too many times

For many years 

reedmoor was just a

That has begun to 

hange with a number of 

estinations now

It will help all the

prosper. 

The small specialty 

businesses like the 

farmers markets, 

specialty services, 

restaurants, bakery, hair

businesses, the snow cone

personal care businesses 

all help keep the activity 

flowing and alive 

downtown. 

The Creedmoor 

Planning Department has 

developed a new code of 

zoning ordinances which 

was approved by the 

Creedmoor Board of 

Commissioners Tuesday 

night. 

The Planning 

Department devoted 

many hours of study into 

the new set of ordinances 

they developed working 

toward the goal of making 

them appropriate for the 

next decade and beyond. 

This new code of 

ordinances replaces 

regulations some of which 

were outmoded or 

conflicting. 

Hopefully these 

ordinances will make the 

city staffs job easier in 

interpreting and enforcing 

the rules in place. 

Certainly the Planning 

Departments willingness 

to listen to merchants 

problems, complaints or 

frustrations and 

communicating them to 

The Board of 

Commissioners is a 

hopeful sign for the future.

The state budget is the 

most important piece of 

legislation passed by the 

General Assembly every 

year. 

It is not only the 

funding mechanism for 

state agencies and 

programs. It serves as a 

statement of the state's 

priorities by each General 

Assembly. 

The document is 

always interpreted on two 

levels: There is the real 

world consequence, how 

those spending decisions 

affect us, the taxpayers, 

the state employees, the 

state retirees, the 

students and the 

motorists; there is the 

politics, how the decisions 

are driven by considerations 

of political 

futures. 

This year, the reality is 

that the $20.2 billion state 

budget plan reflects a 

state whose finances are a 

bit better than last year 

but still pretty strained. 

So, with a Republican 

majority that came to 

power vowing not to raise 

taxes, public schools 

receive a little more state 

money -- $42 million more 

based on a 

year-overyear 

comparison 

and $143 

million 

going to 

help reverse 

a 

specific 

flexibility 

cut. It 

isn't quite 

enough to 

offset losses of expiring 

federal stimulus dollars 

and well short of the 

amount needed to reverse 

three years of previous 

cuts. 

To put that $42 

million in context, it 

represents less than a 1 

percent increase on a $7.5 

billion public schools 

budget.) 

State employees and 

teachers will also receive 

their first raises since 

2008, but the increases 

average only 1.2 percent. 

State retirees will see a 1 

percent cost-of-living 

adjustment to their 

retirement benefits.. 

There is a slight cut 

and capping of the state 

gas tax. The budget also

social promotion for thirdgraders 

not reading at 

grade level. It would also 

hold schools accountable 

by assigning them A-F 

grades based on student 

performance. 

So, in the real world, 

this state budget will likely 

result in about the same 

kinds of constraints as the 

current-year budget. 

It could lead to some 

pretty substantial changes 

in the direction of public 

schooling, especially at the 

elementary school level.

Summer Basketball Academy 

The City of Creedmoor 

is excited to announce the 

first ever GreenupCamps 

Summer Basketball 

Academy. In an effort to 

increase programming 

opportunities in the 

Creedmoor community, 

the City, in collaboration 

with Anthony Greenup, is 

sponsoring this weekly 

Academy. 

Starting on July 13 

and extending every 

Friday for 5 weeks, the 

Academy will be held at 

the Creedmoor 

Gymnasium & Activity 

Center from 6-8 p.m. The 

cost will be $80 for the 

entire five week camp, or 

$20 per session, and will 

be available to children 

ages 5-15. 

Creedmoor City official, 

Scottie Wilkins suggested 

this is the perfect 

opportunity for parents to 

have a night out: drop 

your kids off for a fun 

night of basketball camp 

and head out for a nice 

dinner before returning to 

pick them up at 8:00 p. m. 

Each participant will 

receive age appropriate 

basketball skills training, 

a GreenupCamps t-shirt, 

and a certificate of 

participation. 

GreenupCamps Academy 

will include training in 

basic fundamental 

basketball skills, such as 

passing, shooting, 

rebounding, and 1-on-1 

moves. Defense and 

agility training will be 

taught, and scrimmages 

will be played. 

The last day of the 

camp, August 10, will be 

Parents Day, when the 

parents can come and see 

what their children have 

learned, as well as 

Mr. and Mrs. Tejae Kyle Petty 

participate in an officiated 

game against their kids. 

GreenupCamps was 

founded by Anthony 

“Airport” Greenup. 

Anthony was born in 

Baton Rouge, La. and at 

a young age decided that 

basketball was the career 

that he wanted to pursue. 

Realizing that education 

is important, he attended 

Shaw University in 

Raleigh, to play at the 

collegiate level. After 

college, he played for the 

Charlotte Bobcats for a 

brief time before moving 

on to the Harlem 

Globetrotters, a team he 

played with for eight 

years until his retirement 

earlier this year. 

Anthony and his wife, 

Leslee, have a home in 

Creedmoor and he is 

enjoying the opportunity 

to give back to his 

community by using 

physical 

and 

extracurricular activities 

to promote strong work 

ethics, social skills, and 

teamwork in today’s 

youth.

Then on June 20th 

2012 she got a letter on 

City of Creedmoor 

stationary which stated 

that it was a warning 

citation which threatened 

civil penalties if the stand 

was not shut down. 

The citation said it 

was for “constructing, 

erecting or causing a 

produce stand on the 

sidewalk in such a 

manner, as to cause the 

assembly of persons or 

crowds obstructing and 

interfering with 

pedestrian traffic. 

The warning stated 

that “a civil citation may 

be issued for each day the 

violation continues” and 

that a civil penalty of fifty 

dollars ($50.00) would be 

incurred for each civil 

citation issued. The 

warning did not state a 

date when the violations 

would be effective despite 

saying in the first 

paragraph that it would 

allow a specific period of 

time in which to correct 

a noted violation before 

civil penalties would be 

incurred or initiated.

the notice of citation

Raleigh’s Fourth of 

July celebrations will 

include The “works” July 

4th, 2012 on Fayetteville 

Street, Downtown 

Raleigh. 

What’s more all- 

American than being a 

pioneer? For the first 

p.m. when it was hand 

delivered to her by Randy 

Cahoon of Creedmoor’s 

Planning Department. 

It was noted in the 

citation that an appeal to 

the ruling could be made 

to the Board of 

Adjustment within 10 

days of the date of the 

notice. No information 

was given as to how to 

contact the Board of 

Adjustment or 

information about when 

the groups meetings were 

held was given in the 

citation. 

Tolar said her first 

reaction to the letter was 

anger since she always 

tries to follow the rules 

and thought she had 

complied with the law 

when she sought out a 

permit to operate from 

the city and was issued a 

business permit to sell 

produce. 

Nona Young, from 

Nona’s Bakery said the 

activity at the produce 

stand brought additional 

people downtown had 

actually helped her 

bakery business. “My 

bakery sales have 

increased by 30 percent 

since the produce stand 

has been operating,” 

Nona started. 

Linda said, 

Creedmoor Mayor Darryl 

Moss had looked at the 

produce stand on June 

23rd and told her it was 

his understanding that at 

least five feet of set back 

from the street was 

time, Downtown Raleigh 

will be the one and only 

host of the City’s Fourth 

of July fireworks 

extravaganza. 

As the skies light up, 

you’ll find an exciting new 

world of entertainment, 

great eats and cool drinks 

throughout downtown. 

Independence Day isn’t 

just about nighttime 

anymore. Family 

attractions such as 

bounce houses, eating 

contests and more, start 

up at noon. Bands crank 

up at 4 p.m. with the 

fireworks taking center 

stage once darkness falls 

around 9:30. Plus, Sir 

Walter declares there will 

be plenty of parking and 

easy access in and out. 

The celebration in 

Raleigh will be July 4th, 

noon to 10 p.m. 

Festivities will be 

throughout downtown 

Raleigh, especially on 

Fayetteville Street. 

Fireworks will light up 

the sky over The Progress 

Energy Center for the 

Performing Arts starting 

at around 9:30 p.m. 

City Plaza will host 

picnics, music and more. 

Parking is $5 at 

downtown’s many decks. 

Vendors and activities 

start at 12. Two stages 

will be featured with 

music starting at 4 p.m. 

Eight bands featuring the 

Casablanca Orchestra 

(18 piece big band) and 

Holy Ghost Tent Revival, 

will perform. Other bands

(bluegrass), Children of 

the horn (5-piece horn), 

Milagro Saints (jam 

rock), Ed Stephenson 

(flamenco guitar), Chris 

Hendricks Band (rock), 

and Jon Jackson (blues). 

The Maximus Circus 

will feature a performer 

parade, daytime and 

dusk show. A picnic on 

Fayetteville Street will be 

featured as well as a Kids 

zone, beer and wine 

tasting tent, gouge 

wrestling, King BMX

eating contests, dunk 

tank with local 

celebrities, watermelon 

seed spitting contests and 

art vendors. 

Other events will

fire twirlers and 

a cornhole tournament. 

Those interested in 

being a vendor may 

contact Taylor Traversar 

required to comply with 

the federal American’s 

with Disabilities Act 

(ADA). 

Toler said that on 

Saturday she moved her 

stand back to comply 

with the ADA law and 

did away that day with 

the canvas canopy which 

was covering her 

produce. 

Monday, Toler along 

with her landlord that 

owns the building and 

Mark Lyon, an owner of 

Lyon’s Farms, who 

supplies the produce for 

the produce stand met 

with Rick Flowe, The 

[Continued From Page 4A) 

Planning, Zoning and 

S u b d i v i s i o n 

Administrator for the 

City of Creedmoor. 

After a two hour 

meeting Flowe came up 

with a possible solution to 

suggest to Toler. 

He suggested she go to 

the city’s meeting the next 

night which included on 

the agenda the passage of 

a new zoning ordinance 

for the city. 

He suggested that by 

classifying the produce 

stand as a farmers 

market it could be 

permitted under the new 

ordinance if she could get

gas. Most of the gas is 

believed to be located in 

Lee, Moore and 

Chatham counties. 

The measure is 

controversial because 

property owners where 

the practice is legal claim 

that their water and air 

quality has suffered. I 

voted against the bill 

because I have 

continuing concerns 

about the safety of 

fracking as compared to 

the questionable benefits 

to North Carolina. 

Natural gas production 

is touted as an economic 

boon to the State, but 

there is now a glut in the 

market, and North 

Carolina doesn’t have 

that much natural gas. 

The US Geological 

Survey projects that the 

state has about 5.6 years 

of 

statewide 

consumption based on 

2010 usage. We also have 

to consider how many 

jobs will be created. The 

best-paying jobs will go 

to experienced workers 

hired from out-of-state. 

We need to proceed 

cautiously with fracking. 

The bill allows for a 

special commission to 

study rules and 

regulations for the 

practice, but the budget 

has not provided the 

staff that the NC 

Department of Environment 

and Natural 

Resources requested to 

conduct the needed 

research and planning. 

If North Carolina is 

going to consider 

fracking, it should be 

undertaken only after 

serious study and the 

best recommendations 

for public safety. 

Providing for an 

understaffed commission 

with no funding 

for studies is not a 

serious effort to develop 

sound public policy. 

Bills Await 

Governor’s Response 

These bills are now 

on Gov. Beverly Perdue’s 

desk. She has the option 

of vetoing either of them 

within 10 days of 

passage, signing them 

into law, or not signing 

them (meaning they will 

automatically become 

law after 10 days).

This is the same

Creedmoor Projects Update 

This update from the 

City of Creedmoor is for the 

week of June 25, 2012 to 

provide citizens with 

information for the two 

Water/Sewer Projects and 

the PSNC gas line 

installation work currently 

being performed in the City. 

Project #1: Water and 

Sewer Infrastructure 

As the Water and 

Sewer Infrastructure 

Project being funded by 

grants from the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture 

nears is completion, crews 

will be conducting 

inspections of all 

construction and 

installations. Punch lists 

will be created from these 

inspections and work 

generated from these lists 

will be completed. Once all 

punch lists have been 

satisfied, which is 

projected to take place 

mid-to-late summer, 

remaining cleanup of all 

areas still needing 

attention will be 

performed. 

• Water 

• Remaining water 

line installation and tie-in 

on hold at this time. 

•Scheduled Blasting 

• No blasting 

anticipated. 

•Sewer 

•Sewer line 

installation continues 

along Highway 15. 

• Installation of the 

last section of sewer along 

NC56 to begin shortly. 

• Connection of 

existing sewer lines and 

decommissioning of old 

pump stations to begin 

after Robertson Creek is 

online. 

• Pump Stations 

• Completion of Lake 

Road Booster Pump 

Station start-up 

(mechanical and SCADA) 

this week. 

• Completion of 

Robertson Creek Pump 

Station start-up this week. 

Note: Affected areas for 

this project will continue to 

change as the contractor 

moves through the City 

making preparations and 

installing piping. The City 

will provide notification 

prior to service 

interruptions necessary for 

the installation of new 

water and sewer lines. 

Project #2: 500,000 

gallon downtown Water 

Tank. 

• The tank was filled 

with no interruption to City 

water service as was 

anticipated. 

• The new tank is now 

in service. 

• Finished grade and 

landscaping 

• Grading, seeding and 

landscaping of the lot 

surrounding the new water 

tank is to commence 

shortly. 

• Water from the old 

tank to be emptied. 

• Seeding and 

landscaping is difficult 

during the summer months 

therefore the City will 

empty the old tank through 

a sprinkler system utilized 

to water the newly seeded 

and landscaped areas of 

the new tank. This process 

will reuse this water as 

well as prevent loss of seed 

and plant materials. 

• PSNC Gas Line 

Installation Project: 

• PSNC has completed 

Phase I of their 2011 gas 

line installation and are 

now concentrating on 

hooking up customers to 

the newly installed lines. 

• Due to an 

overwhelming response of 

Creedmoor residents 

requesting natural gas 

services, PSNC has now 

begun some parts of their 

Phase II installation. For 

more information on hookup 

or for plans for the 2012 

phase of installation, 

please call PSNC: 1-877- 

776-2427. 

Throughout the life of 

these projects, 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 onsite. 

In addi-tion, 

construction person-nel 

will be surveying and 

performing site checks 

throughout the City; these 

workers will be easily 

identifiable by their vests 

and hard hats. 

Volunteer Fire Department Grants Announced 

North Carolina 

Insurance Commissioner 

and State Fire Marshal 

Wayne Goodwin is pleased 

to announce the recipients 

of the 2012 Volunteer Fire 

Department Fund grants. 

The Volunteer Fire 

Department Fund, 

administered by the North 

Carolina Office of State 

Fire Marshal, was created 

by the General Assembly 

in 1988 to provide dollarfor-dollar 

matching grants 

to assist volunteer fire 

departments with the 

purchase of equipment 

and capital expenditures. 

The maximum annual 

award amount is $30,000 

per applicant. 

“I’m proud that so 

many fire departments are 

taking advantage of this 

important grant program. 

these grants help our 

volunteer fire 

departments stretch their 

budgets to better serve 

our communities,” said 

Goodwin. 

More than $89 million 

in matching grant funds 

has been awarded to 

volunteer fire 

departments since the 

program began in 1988. 

Granville County fire 

departments have been 

approved for the following 

grants: Antioch-Fishing 

Creek Vol. Fire Dept., Inc., 

$5,000; Brassfield Vol. 

Fire Dept., $16,431; 

Recent outbreaks of 

pertussis (whooping 

cough) across the state 

have renewed calls from 

state health officials for 

North Carolinians to be 

immunized against this 

highly contagious but 

preventable respiratory 

disease. In response to the 

outbreak, the North 

Carolina Department of 

Health and Human 

Services-administered 

Immunization Program 

(NCIP) has made Tdap 

vaccine, which protects 

against pertussis, 

available to anyone age 7 

years and older, including 

adults, regardless of their 

insurance status. 

Between December 

and the first week of June, 

state public health officials 

had tracked 179 cases of 

whooping cough covering 

23 counties; Alamance 

County alone has seen 122 

cases. There were just 126 

cases of pertussis reported 

to the state in all of 2011. 

The disease does not 

only affect children; adults 

also can develop whooping 

cough and are often not 

diagnosed until later in the 

illness. Pertussis is spread 

from person to person 

usually by coughing or 

sneezing while in close 

contact with others. 

DHHS is providing the 

Tdap vaccine to health 

care providers in the NCIP 

network, which includes 

all local health 

departments and many 

Bullock Vol. Fire Dept., 

$10,135; Corinth Vol Fire 

Dept., $29,792.46; 

Granville Rural Fire 

Dept., $2,781.50; 

Providence Community 

Fire Dept., Inc., 

$2,907.33; Stem 

Community Fire Dept. 

and EMS, Inc., $3,564.29; 

Virgilina Volunteer Fire 

Assoc., $13,451.78; and 

Cornwall Vol. Fire Dept., 

$10,691.70. 

All of the requested 

funds by the county fire 

departments were 

granted.

public and private 

health-care providers. 

The Tdap booster 

shot is recommended for 

any child 7–10 who did 

not complete the 

childhood DTaP 

vaccination series and 

anyone 11 and older who 

has not yet received a 

Tdap booster. Tdap is 

p a r t i c u l a r l y 

recommended for: 

• women who are 

pregnant or may become 

pregnant; 

• all close contacts of 

infants under 12 months 

of age (parents, siblings, 

grandparents, household 

contacts, child care 

providers); and 

• anyone with a preexisting, 

chronic 

respiratory disease. 

The 

DTaP 

vaccination series is 

recommended for 

children starting at 2 

months of age, and 

continuing at 4 months, 6 

months, 15-18 months 

and 4-6 years of age. A 

Tdap booster shot should 

be given to children by 11 

years of age because 

immunity from the 

childhood vaccines wears 

off over time. Teens and 

adults who haven’t yet 

received a pertussis 

booster shot should also 

be vaccinated.

Life Line Screening 

Coming To Creedmoor 

Residents living in 

and around the 

Creedmoor community 

can be screened to reduce 

their risk of having a 

stroke or bone fracture. 

Creedmoor United 

Methodist Church will 

host Life Line Screening 

on July 9, 2012. The site 

is located at 214 Park 

Avenue in Creedmoor. 

Four key points every 

person needs to know: 

• Stroke is the third 

leading cause of death and 

a leading cause of 

permanent disability 

• 80% of stroke victims 

had no apparent warning 

signs prior to their stroke 

• Preventive ultrasound 

screenings can help you 

avoid a stroke 

• Screenings are fast, 

non-invasive, painless, 

affordable and convenient 

Screenings identify 

potential cardiovascular 

blocked arteries and 

irregular hear rhythm, 

hardening of the arteries 

in the legs, which is a

campaign goal by 

ARE OUR 

PERSONAL 

FINANCES 

BACK IN ORDER? 

More than any recession in 70 years, the recent 

conomic downtown witnessed a collapse of household 

ealth. The value of our wealth -- the difference 

etween what we own and what we owe, dropped an 

mazing $13 trillion, a 20 percent plunge, from 2007 

o 2008. The loss came in both major categories of 

ousehold wealth, in financial assets (stocks, bonds, 

utual funds, etc.) as well as real estate assets (for 

ost, the value of their home). 

The lost wealth was a crushing blow to our personal 

inances. It meant the massive borrowing and resulting 

ebts that many accumulated during the 1990s and 

000s couldn’t be sustained. For some, the only 

lternative was bankruptcy or perhaps foreclosure on 

heir home. For others, it meant forced frugality and 

educed sales -- and jobs -- for retailers and other 

ellers. 

A deadly downward spiral was thus established. 

ower household wealth meant less household 

pending, which in turn, led to fewer business sales 

nd jobs, which then resulted in even lower household 

ncome and wealth and tighter spending and still lower 

ales, etc. 

Therefore, household wealth is one of the keys to 

ur economy. For the economy to fully recover, our 

ealth will have to improve first. 

So where are we now with this key economic 

ndicator? Fortunately, every three months the Federal 

eserve gives us an update. The most recent 

nformation through the first three months of 2012 

as just recently released. 

The statistics show that collectively the personal 

inances of households are in much better shape today 

han they were at the depth of the recession in 2008. 

hree-quarters of the household wealth lost during 

he recession has now been recovered. However, all of 

his rebound was due to the recovery of financial 

ssets. The total value of real estate assets has 

mproved only very modestly. 

At the same time that the value of financial assets 

as been increasing, households have become tighter 

ith their borrowing. The total value of household debt 

oday is down 6 percent from its high in 2007. The 

argest decline has been in mortgage debt; some of it 

ue to foreclosures and bankruptcies. But consumer 

redit balances (mainly credit cards) are also lower 

oday than five years ago, suggesting households have 

oluntarily been restraining their spending. 

There’s other good news on the debt front. Severely 

ate loan delinquencies are off their recession peaks. 

or example, the percentage of credit card payments 

hree or more months late is now 11 percent, down 

rom 14 percent two years ago. Bankruptcies and 

oreclosures have also been trending lower. Yet, all 

hese measures are still considerably above their levels 

rior to the recession. 

It’s interesting to contrast the financial trends of 

ouseholds with those of businesses. Businesses 

ctually fell into a slightly larger wealth hole than 

ouseholds, with aggregate business wealth dropping 

5 percent during the recession. And similar to 

ouseholds, businesses have dug out of this hole 

hrough a combination of a rise in their assets values 

nd a reduction in debt. 

The big difference is that businesses have begun 

orrowing again. In fact, business debt dropped only 

ne year, from 2008 to 2009, and since then has risen 

ach year. Many economists see this as a good sign, as 

usiness borrowing is one indicator of optimism about 

he economic future. 

The conclusion from all this number crunching is 

hat personal finances are in much better shape today 

han they have been in years. Wealth has returned, 

ousehold debt payments as a percent of disposable 

ncome are back to 1990 levels, delinquencies and late 

ayments are down, and homeowners’ equity is 

eginning to rise. Certainly, many households are still 

ot financially secure, but on average they are moving 

n a positive direction. 

Over 70 cents of every dollar spent in our economy 

s by households. Therefore, as the household goes, so 

oes our economy. Household personal finances are 

tarting to make a comeback. But one big question is, 

an "it" happen again? By it, I mean the free-wheeling 

orrowing that led to record high personal debt levels 

nd which set up many households for a crash when 

he values of stocks and homes fell off the cliff. 

Of course, it can happen again; history is full of 

xamples of repeats. But at least in this economist’s 

pinion, the financial trials and tribulations of the past 

ive years will leave a significant impression -- at least 

or a while -- on households, similar to what the Great 

epression of the 1930s did to my parents’ view of 

inances. But, of course, you decide if I’m too optimistic!

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY 

Cozart & Edwards, PA 

Certified Public Accountants 

TAX CREDITS CAN HELP PAY FOR 

COLLEGE AND JOB TRAINING 

If you, your spouse, or your dependents are paying 

for college or job training, two federal tax credits may 

help offset the costs. 

The American Opportunity Credit provides up to 

$2,500 a year to an eligible student for the first four 

years of higher education. To qualify, the student must 

be pursuing a degree or other recognized credential 

and must be enrolled at least half time for one 

academic period during the year. The credit can cover 

tuition, enrollment fees, textbooks, supplies, and 

equipment, whether or not the materials are bought 

from the educational institution. Forty percent of the 

American Opportunity Credit is refundable, which 

means a student owing no taxes could still receive up 

to $1,000. 

The Lifetime Learning Credit can provide up to 

$2,000 for each year of post-secondary education or 

each year in which you take courses to acquire or 

improve job skills, regardless of whether you’re 

pursuing a degree or credential. The number of years 

is not limited, and the credit is available for as little 

as one course. Tuition and fees are covered, but books, 

supplies, and equipment are only eligible if provided 

by the educational institution. Since the Lifetime 

Learning Credit is not refundable, it is limited to 

offsetting taxes that you owe for the applicable year. 

The following limitations apply to both credits: 

1. You can only claim one of the credits per student in 

a given tax year (although you can claim a different 

credit for a different dependent in the same year). 

2. If a student qualifies as a dependent, only the 

parent may claim the credit. 

3. Both credits phase out if your modified adjusted 

gross income exceeds a specified level. 

If you think you might qualify for one of these 

credits and would like more details, give us a call to 

discuss your situation.

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer 

How to Find Help Paying for Your Hearing Aid 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

Are there any resources or programs that help 

seniors with the high cost of hearing aids? 

Can’t Afford To Hear 

Dear Can’t, 

It’s unfortunate, but millions of Americans with 

hearing loss don’t get hearing aids because they simply 

can’t afford them. Hearing aids are expensive, typically 

costing between $1,000 and $3,500 per ear, and most 

insurance companies including traditional Medicare 

don’t cover them. While there’s no one simple solution 

to finding affordable hearing aids, there are a variety 

of options you can look into that can help. 

Check Insurance 

Your first step is to check with your health 

insurance provider to see if it provides any hearing 

aid coverage. 

If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, you need to know 

that while original Medicare (Part A and B) and 

Medicare supplemental policies do not cover hearing 

aids, some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans do. If 

you have an Advantage plan, you’ll need to check with 

your plan administrator. 

Medicaid also covers hearing aids in some states 

to people with very limited means. Your county social 

service office can give you more information. 

Or, if you’re a federal employee or retiree, hearing 

aid coverage may be available through some insurance 

plans in the Federal Employees Health Benefits 

Program. Or if you’re a veteran, the VA provides free 

hearing aids if you meet certain conditions such as 

being compensated for any serviced-connected 

disability or if your hearing loss is connected to military 

service. See va.gov or call 877-222-8387 to check your 

eligibility. 

Financial Assistance 

Depending on your income level, there are various 

programs and foundations that provide financial 

assistance for hearing aids to people in need. Start by 

calling your state rehabilitation department (see 

www.parac.org/svrp.html for contact information), or 

the nearest chapter of the Hearing Loss Association 

of America (hearingloss.org) to find out if there are 

any city, county or state programs, or local civic 

organizations that could help. 

There are also a number of nonprofits that offer 

hearing aids at deeply discounted prices, or for free. 

Some good ones to check out include: 

HEAR Now: Sponsored by the Starkey Hearing 

Foundation (starkeyhearingfoundation.org, 800-328- 

8602), this program provides hearing aids for people 

with net incomes below $19,058 for a single or $25,743 

for couples. Your only costs are a hearing test and an 

application fee of $125 per hearing aid request. 

Lions Affordable Hearing Aid Project: Offered 

through some Lions clubs throughout the U.S., this 

program provides the opportunity to purchase new, 

digital hearing aids manufactured by Rexton for $200 

per aid, plus shipping. To be eligible, most clubs will 

require your income to be somewhere below 200 

percent of the federal poverty level which is $22,340 

for singles, or $30,260 for couples. Contact your local 

Lions club (see lionsclubs.org for contact information) 

to see if they participate in this project. 

Sertoma: A civic service organization that runs a 

hearing aid recycling program through its 500 clubs 

nationwide, refurbishes them, and distributes them 

to local people in need. Call 800-593-5646 or visit 

sertoma.org to locate a club in your area. 

Audient: This program (audientalliance.org, 866- 

956-5400) helps people purchase new, digital hearing 

aids at reduced prices ranging from $495 to $975 for 

one hearing aid, or $990 to $1,575 for a pair. To be 

eligible, your income must be below $27,075 for a single 

or $36,425 for couples. 

For a list of more programs, visit the Better 

Hearing Institute website at betterhearing.org, and 

click on "Hearing Loss Resources," then on "Financial 

Assistance." Or, call the National Institute on Deafness 

and Other Communication Disorders at 800-241-1044 

and ask them to mail you their list of financial 

resources for hearing aids.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT FIRM 

Don’t Take A Vacation From Investing 

Summer is here, which means it’s vacation time. 

But you should not take a break from investing. 

To become a diligent, long-term investor, consider 

these steps: 

• First, keep investing, even during times of market 

volatility. You don’t want to be on the sidelines when 

the next rally begins., 

• Next, learn about the forces that affect your 

investments’ performance - and be familiar with the 

investments you own. The more you know, the better 

your decisions can be. 

• Also, take advantage of “hardworking” vehicles, 

such as your 401(k), that offer tax benefits and the 

chance to own a variety of investments. 

• Finally, focus on the future. Create a long-term 

strategy that’s suitable for your goals, risk tolerance 

and time horizon - and then stick with this strategy. 

Enjoy your summer. But no matter what the 

season, don’t take a vacation from investing. Your 

efforts may pay off nicely for you in the future.

Honor Roll 

After a successful sixyear 

tenure as Executive 

Director of the Granville 

Foundation, Shields 

Blackwell has accepted a 

new opportunity, thereby 

vacating her position 

effective July 13. Her 

duties have included 

leading the Board of 

Directors, managing 

fundraising campaigns 

and special events, and 

coordinating grant 

awards to schools. 

She has hosted the 

Extravaganza 

fundraising dinner and 

auction, organized the 

annual Spellebration 

spelling bee, and worked 

with the Prize Patrol, 

which involves making 

surprise visits to present 

grant awards to teachers. 

Additionally, Blackwell 

began the Success 

through Technology 

grants program. She 

noted “I have always been 

proud of the Education 

Foundation’s mission to 

enhance student 

performance. The 

collaboration of the 

Foundation and the 

school is so vital. After all, 

we have a common goal, 

which is to promote 

student achievement.” 

In an email to her 

fellow Foundation 

directors, current Board 

President Pamela Huff 

expressed her sentiments 

on Blackwell’s decision,

Foundation Seeks New 

Executive Director 

nothing that the Board 

appreciated Blackwell’s 

hard work and dedication 

and that her creativity, 

intelligence, spontaneity, 

and fun-loving spirit will 

be dearly missed. 

Incoming Board 

President John Burns 

added that he had 

enjoyed working with 

Blackwell and that her 

ability to work with the 

business community and 

to effectively organize 

Foundation activities 

had been most valuable. 

Blackwell holds a 

B.A. in political science 

from the University of 

North Carolina at Chapel 

Hill. She recently earned 

certification in non-profit 

management from Duke 

University. She will use 

many of the skills she 

acquired as Executive 

Director of the Granville 

Education Foundation in 

her new role as 

Communications 

Specialist at Granville 

Health System.

Education Foundation is

representative of the 


Community Foundation;

“Samantha’s essay

embodies the character, 

work ethic and desire to 

give back to the 

community that this 

scholarship was 

established to recognize,” 

said Little.

Safe Kids NC Tips 

Safe Kids North 

Carolina, a statewide 

coalition housed in the 


Department of 

Insurance Office of State 

Fire Marshal, is 

reminding parents and 

caregivers about 

important safety tips in 

an effort to reduce child 

drownings, neardrownings 

and 

entrapments in 

swimming pools and 

spas. 

An estimated 400 

children age 14 and 

younger drown in 

swimming pools and 

spas each year across 

the U.S. A Consumer 

Product Safety 

Commission study found 

that 2,000 children are 

treated annually in 

hospital emergency 

rooms for submersion 

injuries sustained in 

familiar surroundings, 

with a majority of those 

victims being supervised 

by one or both parents at 

the time of the accident. 

“A fun day at the pool 

or spa can very quickly 

turn dangerous if we are 

not vigilant about water 

safety practices,” said 

I n s u r a n c e 

Commissioner Wayne 

Goodwin, chair of Safe 

Kids North Carolina. 

“As parents and 

caregivers, we must take 

active responsibility for 

our children’s safety in 

and around the water.” 


Carolina reminds 

parents and caregivers 

to Lock, Look and Learn: 

LOCK – 

Homeowners should put 

up a fence that is at least 

4-feet high around all 

sides of a pool or spa 

with a locking gate that 

closes and latches by 

itself. Homeowners 

should cover and lock 

pools and spas when 

they are not using them, 

and also remove or lock 

ladders to above-ground 

pools and spas when not 

in use. 

LOOK – Adults and 

caregivers must always 

watch children — 

whether the children 

know how to swim or not 

— when kids are in or 

near water without 

being distracted by 

phone calls, text 

messages, reading or 

talking to others. If a 

child is missing, look in 

the water first. 

LEARN – Children 

and adults should know 

how to swim. Adults 

should learn how to use 

rescue equipment and 

correctly choose and use 

approved life jackets. 

Caregivers should learn 

adult and infant CPR 

and teach children to 

never swim alone or 

swim near pool or spa
