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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 19, 2012 - Oct. 25, 2012 

by Lasha Seniuk 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19): Don’t keep 

secrets. Avoid 

unnecessary suspicions 

by being open and 

transparent in all your 

activities in the week to 

come. You can have it 

your way, but just 

remember that others 

need their way too. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20): Don’t stray off 

the charted course. All 

that’s going on around 

you may distract you 

from fulfilling your 

responsibilities. Stay 

focused. You may spend 

money foolishly this 

week and regret it later. 

GEMINI (May 21- 

June 20): Recharge the 

batteries. This week, 

you could face projects 

that will require intense 

effort. Schedule some 

down time to rejuvenate 

and you’ll be ready for 

the heavy work as the 

workweek begins. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22): Take things 

as they come. You don’t 

have to stick to the 

program. You’ll find 

that you derive the most 

satisfaction this week 

by 

acting 

spontaneously; enjoy 

whatever is started at 

the spur of the moment. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 

22): Rome wasn’t built 

in a day. While you may 

long for greatness in the 

week ahead, patience 

and hard work are 

required to make these 

dreams a reality. No one 

starts at the top; work 

your way upward. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23- 

Sept. 22): Read 

between the lines. The 

answers you seek are all 

right in front of you this 

week; it will be how you 

interpret them that 

makes all the 

difference. Make plans 

now and turn plans into 

reality later. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

22): Go your own way. 

Concentrate on doing 

what you want in the 

week to come and don’t 

let the needs of others

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- 

Nov. 21): With age comes 

wisdom. This week, what 

you may perceive to be 

criticism from an elder 

may actually be quite 

helpful. You can’t change 

certain situations, but you 

can change how you react 

to them. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

22-Dec. 21): Don’t answer 

questions that no one 

asked. You may consider 

yourself an authority on 

certain subjects, but that 

doesn’t mean you should 

always add your two cents 

during the upcoming 

week. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19): Say it like 

you mean it. Don’t back 

down from convictions - 

even when pressured to 

change your mind. In the 

week to come, you can 

enhance your reputation 

by being honest and 

sticking to principles. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 18): Not every day 

has to be a march down 

the road to success. 

Sometimes, it’s better just 

to kick back and enjoy the 

simpler things in life. 

Keep your schedule open 

for adventures in the 

week ahead. 

PISCES (Feb. 19- 

March 20): Don’t let 

miscommunication lead 

you astray. You may be 

perfectly clear about your 

intentions - but this week 

people might be listening 

to the tone you use rather 

than what you are 

actually saying.

THE BUTNER-CREEMOOR NEWS 

EDITORIAL PAGE 

THURSDAY 


Complaining about 

the actions of elected 

officials on the local, 

state, and national level 

is becoming a popular 

national pastime. Sadly, 

many of the loudest 

whiners are citizens 

eligible to vote who, for 

some inexcusable 

reason, choose not to. 

Granville County 

voters are fortunate to 

have One Stop Voting, 

which begins today, that 

offers convenient voting 

sites and hours, even two 

days of Saturday hours. 

The two sites, the 

Commissioners’ Meeting 

Room at Creedmoor City 

Hall and the Thornton 

Library Conference 

Room in Oxford, are 

well-known and easy to 

locate. 

Choosing which 

candidates to support 

should not be difficult. 

Those seeking office 

have reached out to the 

public with their 

positions on the issues, 

and appear to be 

available to answer 

relevant questions. 

Any prospective 

voter should try to seek 

out current or future 

leaders who, first of all, 

share his or her value 

system, as evidenced by 

actions rather than words. 

Then, wise voters should 

research the candidates’ 

opinions on the issues to 

find matches for their own 

views. 

How do you feel about 

tax rates and government 

spending, education, 

employment opportunities, 

crime 

prevention, environmental 

issues, and a host 

of other issues? Does an 

incumbent have a record? 

What private sector 

experiences have 

influenced a newcomer? 

The answer will differ 

for each voter, but the only 

way to make a mark on 

your community is to go to 

the polls and cast your 

ballot. 

One of the best and 

surest ways to express 

satisfaction or dissatisfaction 

is to exercise 

our important rights of 

freedom of speech, 

freedom of assembly, and 

the right to vote for the 

candidate or issue of our 

choice. 

It’s time to stop 

complaining and not 

waste the birthright that 

our forefathers have died 

to defend. 

Letter To The Editor 

TIME TO VOTE 

To The Editor: 

The time is once again upon us, time for us to apply 

one of our nation’s greatest strengths, the one paid 

for by human determination and sacrifice. It is time 

for us to go in a booth and decide who we want to 

represent us. 

Throughout our history men and women have 

fought and many have given their lives to ensure us 

the right to vote is among the rights we enjoy. 

Our right to choose those who govern is a beacon, 

a shining example to the rest of the world. People 

around the world envy us and yearn for the right to 

vote. 

Negative campaign ads make it difficult to know 

the candidates and issues. Character assassination 

and fabrication seems to be the norm now days. So 

take the time to learn who and what you believe is 

best for all of us. 

For, the time is now to exercise our precious right. 

Do not make excuses not to vote. Those who gave 

their all so you can vote did not make excuses. Vote, 

if for nothing else, do it as a tribute to them. 

Please, go to the polls and vote for the candidates 

of your choice.

Cowell Seeks Second Term 

In Bumpy Post - 2008 World 

In the post-Great 

Recession world, being a 

state treasurer is no path 

to wide and lasting 

popularity. 

In North Carolina, 

the state treasurer is 

responsible for investing 

the state's $75 billion 

pension fund. Invariably, 

that means rubbing 

shoulders with 

investment bankers and 

hedge fund managers. 

In other words, the 

treasurer wheels and 

deals with the same folks 

that New York Times 

columnist Maureen 

Dowd derisively refers to 

as "the masters of the 

universe," a collection 

that includes those whose 

cockamamie housingfinance 

schemes helped 

wreck the economy. 

So, it should come as 

no surprise that Democratic 

State Treasurer 

Janet Cowell has had to 

endure some criticism (a 

good bit of it from this 

column) during her first 

term in office. 

Most recently, Cowell 

took a publicity hit for a 

pension fund investment 

in the ill-fated Facebook

next to nothing, but it 

caused some to question 

why fund managers 

would be putting money 

into something that many 

sophisticated investors 

avoided. 

In her first term, 

Cowell, 44, fired her chief 

investment officer (who 

was put into that job by 

her predecessor, Richard 

Moore) because of ethics 

questions. The treasurer 

also provided ill-timed 

raises to top investment 

officials while rank-andfile 

state workers received 

no pay hikes. 

Cowell, though, seeks 

a second term touting the 

relative stability of the 

state pension fund and 

helped bring down the 

law, leaving a widespread 

consensus on the value of 

free speech.

health plan. 

Her Republican 

opponent is a certified 

public accountant from 

Elkin, Steve Royal. 

Royal, 61, raised 

eyebrows recently by 

proposing the creation of 

a regional currency where 

North Carolina would join 

with other states to create 

an asset-backed currency 

to use if and when the 

U.S. dollar began to fail. 

Friday initially fought a 

new medical school there, 

but when he recognized 

its inevitability, according 

to Link, he determined to 

make it "as fine a school 

as you can make it." 

While pushing for 

adequate funding for 

Royal described the 

"auxillary currency" as a 

"form of insurance." 

Given that North 

Carolina and other states 

don't have any secret 

stashes of gold or silver 

laying around, it isn't 

clear what that asset 

would be. 

Cowell called the idea 

far out of the mainstream 

and a threat to 

undermine "everything 

we have worked so hard 

to build." 

Royal also has said 

that he wants more 

pension fund dollars 

managed internally, 

rather than allowing the 

investments to be made 

by outside managers who 

handle billions in 

investments for multiple 

institutional investors. 

Royal comes into the 

race having never held 

public office. He had also 

raised very little money 

through the middle of the 

summer. 

It may not matter. 

With so little voter 

attention, the race is 

likely to be a referendum 

on Cowell's first term, 

Royal's qualifications or 

lack thereof, or some 

combination of the two. 

victories are too 

numerous to mention. 

But it is his powerful 

example of turning 

defeats into lasting 

achievements that will 

always inspire me.

Support For Operation Stop Arm Week 

In support of 

Operation Stop Arm 

week the State Highway 

Patrol will be 

aggressively enforcing 

stop arm violations and 

other traffic violations in 

and around school zones. 

The operation will be 

conducted from 6:00 a.m. 

on Monday, October 15 

through Friday, October 

19. The Patrol expects 

Operation Stop Arm will 

decrease violations and 

reduce school bus 

collisions. 

Across the state, 

troopers will be working 

school zones and others 

will be following the 

buses. Troopers will be 

driving marked and 

unmarked patrol cars 

during the operation. 

“We must protect our 

children from traffic 

dangers,” said Colonel 

Michael W. Gilchrist, 

commander of the North 

Carolina State Highway 

Patrol. “The Highway 

Patrol will conduct this 

school bus campaign 

simultaneously in all 

North Carolina counties 

cracking down on stop 

arm violations. 

Motorists who try to pass 

a stopped school bus will 

be charged with the 

violation.” 

Passing a stopped 

school bus is a Class 1 

misdemeanor. If 

convicted, a person will 

receive five driving 

points on their driver’s 

license and is subject to 

fines up to $200. Passing 

a stopped school bus is a 

Class I Felony if the 

driver strikes an 

individual and a Class H 

Felony should the 

violation result in a 

death. 

“We must ensure our 

children’s safety as they 

travel to and from school,” 

said Reuben Young, 

secretary of the 

Department of Public 

Safety. “A child’s life 

should never be put in 

danger just to save a 

minute or two during a 

daily commute. That’s 

why we’re going to make 

sure people know the law 

as well as the 

consequences of breaking 

it.” 

“On March 21, over 

3,200 cars passed a North 

Carolina public school bus 

while stopped with red 

lights flashing and loading 

or unloading students. 

This is unacceptable! To 

provide assistance to our 

law enforcement partners, 

we have recently installed 

cameras on the outside of 

some school buses. The 

Nicholas Adkins Safety 

Act is clear that video 

evidence can be used to 

prosecute stop arm 

violations and we plan to 

help gather that evidence. 

But the best course of 

action is for drivers to act 

responsibly in the first 

place. Help keep our 

children safe! Parents and 

students – please have 

the conversation and 

know how to stay safe at 

the bus stop as well as 

walking to and from 

school and the school bus 

stop,” said Dr. June 

Atkinson, State 

Superintendent of Public 

Instruction.

school bus safety and 

illegal passing please

National Energy Awareness 

This year marks the 

21st anniversary of 

October as National 

Energy Awareness 

Month. The following are 

tips for consumers who 

wish to perform a window 

and patio door ìcheck-upî 

to gauge the energy 

efficiency of these 

products in their homes. 

Tip #1 - Examine the 

inside of your windows 

and patio doors for hot 

and cold "drafty" spots (or 

drafty areas). This 

indicates air infiltration 

which can lead to reduced 

energy efficiency. 

Tip #2 - Check every 

window and door to make 

sure there is adequate 

weatherstripping and 

caulking around the 

units. This helps 

eliminate air infiltration 

and ensure a weather 

tight, secure seal. 

Tip #3 - Look for ìburnt 

outî or faded areas on your 

furnishings and carpeting. 

This could indicate 

harmful, damaging UV 

rays are entering your 

home through your 

windows or doors. You may 

want to consider 

replacement with more 

energy efficient units 

containing Low E coatings 

on the glass. 

Tip #4 - If your 

windows no longer open or 

close easily--or if they need 

to be propped open--it 

could mean key 

components within the 

units are damaged or need 

adjustment. It could also 

mean the unit needs to be 

replaced entirely. 

Tip #5 - Check the ìfitî 

of your current windows or 

patio doors by having 

someone stand outside the 

units at night. With a 

small flashlight, stand 

inside and ìtravelî 

around the edge of the 

units. If the person 

outside sees light coming 

through the edges, this 

indicates a poor 

installation and is 

resulting in energy loss. 

If your evaluation 

turns up one or more 

problem areas, it may be 

time to consider 

replacing your windows 

or doors. Be sure to 

contact an experienced 

window installation 

professional. 

Vinyl is an excellent 

insulator and many 

people choose lowmaintenance 

vinyl 

frames with an Argon or 

Krypton gas fill and Low 

E glass. These harmless 

gasses are denser than 

air and serve as an 

excellent thermal barrier. 

These components all 

work together to reduce 

thermal conductivity, or 

the transfer of heat and 

cold through a window. 

"Do your homework 

and research the 

windows youíre buying 

and the company that 

manufactures them," 

advises Pember. ìNot all 

windows, nor window 

companies, are equal. 

Price is important, but 

itís not the critical factor. 

The key is investing 

wisely and making sure 

your replacement 

windows meet ENERGY 

STAR guidelines for your 

geographic area." 

Window Check-Up 

U.S. Department of 

Energy experts have put 

together a three-step 

checklist of information 

for homeowners 

considering a window 

replacement project. 

Start by considering the 

design of your home and 

the climate in 

relationship to the 

energy performance of 

the windows you select. 

Next, select windows 

that meet your energy 

p e r f o r m a n c e 

requirements. Finally, 

take the steps necessary 

to ensure the proper 

installation of windows to 

maximize their energy 

efficiency. In-depth 

details on these three 

steps can be found at

MODERATOR 

Rev. Norman Cooper 

HOW WOULD 

YOU GRADE 

THE FED? 

When I began teaching 35 years ago, few people 

new -- or cared -- about the Federal Reserve. That’s 

ertainly changed. Especially since the financial 

eltdown in late 2008, the Federal Reserve has been 

ront and center in both policies and debates on the 

conomy. Fed chairman Bernanke has even become 

n issue in the presidential campaign, with some 

andidates bluntly saying they would not reappoint 

im when his current term expires. 

Recently, the Federal Reserve added to their 

eadlines by announcing a major new program 

esigned to boost the economy -- but also involving 

he printing of more money. This move will only fuel 

he differing views over the role and actions of the Fed. 

So what exactly is the Federal Reserve, what does 

t do, and what impacts can it have? Let me try to 

nswer these questions, and then let you decide if the 

ed is a plus or a minus for the economy. 

The Federal Reserve was created a century ago as 

he country’s "bank of last resort," a backup to the 

inancial system. Prior to then, when an economic 

alamity or scare occurred and bank loans failed, 

epositors would make a run on the bank to withdraw 

heir funds. Banks wouldn’t have enough money, so 

hey too would fail, depositors would lose and the 

conomy would sink further. 

The idea was that the Federal Reserve could shortircuit 

this financial collapse by using its major power 

- the ability to create money -- to restore funding and 

onfidence in the banking system during economic 

rises. Once the gold standard was abandoned in the 

930s, the Fed could use its money-creation power at 

ts discretion. 

Most people raise an eyebrow of surprise and 

oncern when told the Fed has the power to 

anufacture money out of thin air (actually, today it’s 

one electronically). Many people understandably 

hink paper money ought to have something of value, 

ike gold, backing it. 

Supporters of the Fed say money doesn’t have to 

e inherently valuable; it just has to be trusted and 

ccepted. So if the Fed prints money during an 

conomic downturn and uses the funds to support 

anks’ deposits or to purchase investments before their 

alues fall further, it can prevent a financial collapse. 

Some say this is exactly what the Fed did in 2008 

nd 2009. From late 2008 to mid 2009, the Fed doubled 

he money supply. This appeared to stop the massive 

leeding in the economy from the virtual free-falls in 

he housing and stock markets. Indeed, aggregate 

roduction in the economy began to rise in mid-2009. 

he Fed performed a similar monetary rescue in 1987 

fter the single largest daily percentage point loss in 

he stock market. 

There are, of course, plenty of critics of the Fed. 

ome question the need for a Federal Reserve at all. 

hese folks say the threat of widespread financial 

ystem insolvency could be handled by private 

nsurance of deposits and diversification of banks’ 

nvestments. 

Fed doubters worry most about the central banks’ 

oney creation power and the possibility it could lead 

o rampant inflation and devaluing of the dollar. This 

s a real concern. Many economists say excessive 

oney-printing by the Fed in the early 1970s led to 

ouble-digit annual inflation rates later that decade. 

ome also say the Fed’s generous monetary policy in 

he early 2000s was behind the housing boom of that 

ecade. Of course, the housing boom eventually turned 

nto a housing bust. 

So where does this leave us in our evaluation of 

he Federal Reserve? Here’s my take. Chairman 

ernanke and his colleagues are, in my opinion, well 

ware of the potential downside -- in terms of future 

igher inflation -- of the policies the Fed has followed 

or four years. But Congress, which controls the Fed’s 

harter, has given it two marching orders: implement 

olicies that will lead to low inflation and full 

mployment. 

Accomplishing both of these goals is a very tough 

ob. Inflation (including food and fuel) appears right 

ow to be modest, rising between 2 percent and 3 

ercent annually. But obviously we are nowhere near 

ull employment. 

My assessment is that Chairman Bernanke and 

is fellow managers of the Federal Reserve are 

ocusing on helping increase economic growth and job 

reation now. They are doing this by being very 

enerous with their monetary powers as well as with 

heir influence over interest rates. They don’t have a 

agic wand, but they are trying to be helpful. 

However, if -- and we hope it’s soon -- the economy 

oes begin to expand faster and unemployment does 

egin to drop more, then the Fed will face another 

hallenge. This will be to unwind some of the programs 

nd policies they have been following so as to prevent 

ignificantly higher inflation and steeper interest 

ates. 

So if Ben Bernanke is still in charge, his greatest 

hallenge may be ahead. Should he be there, and will 

e succeed? You decide!

Certified Public Accountants 

IRS REMINDS TAXPAYERS 

OF STANDING HEALTH CARE PERKS 

With all the talk this year about medical costs and 

government benefits, it is easy to lose sight of the basic 

health care tax perks already provided by Congress. 

As in years past, taxpayers who itemize deductions 

on their tax return can deduct medical costs exceeding 

7.5% of their adjusted gross income (AGI). Here’s a 

tip: It doesn’t matter when the treatment or 

prescription was received; what counts is when you 

paid the bill. So if you anticipate higher health care 

costs in the near future, try to consolidate the payment 

of those costs into one calendar year to maximize your 

chances for a deduction. 

What types of costs qualify for the medical 

deduction? Eligible expenses include those required 

to treat, prevent, or mitigate a disease or other medical 

condition. Such costs include prescription drugs, 

hospital bills, and premiums paid on health and dental 

insurance. And these costs can be incurred on behalf 

of yourself, a spouse, or a dependent. Just be sure to 

keep all applicable receipts to substantiate your 

expenses. 

A deduction often overlooked is travel expenses 

incurred to receive medical care. If traveling by car, 

you can either deduct the actual out-of-pocket 

expenses or use the standard medical mileage rate of 

23¢ a mile. 

For most taxpayers, actual medical costs usually 

fall far short of the 7.5% threshold, but there is still a 

tax-favored way to pay your health care expenses. 

Health savings accounts (HSAs) allow taxpayers to 

deduct payments made into these accounts, up to an 

annual limit of $3,100 for singles and $6,250 for 

families. And you do not need to itemize to take 

advantage of an HSA deduction. Later on, money can 

be taken tax-free from the accounts to pay for qualified 

medical bills. Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) let 

you set aside money that can be withdrawn tax-free 

to pay medical expenses. Check with your employer 

to see if your company already offers such plans. 

To further explore all your deduction options, 

contact our office.

Senior 

You ask the Senior question ~ We find the Savvy answer 

Direct Deposit Options for 

Social Security Recipients 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

I have received my Social Security check in the mail 

every month for more than 25 years, and now I’m told 

I have to switch to direct deposit. Do I have any 

options? 

Suspicious Senior 

Dear Suspicious, 

If you’re over age of 90, or live in a remote area 

you may still have the option of receiving your Social 

Security checks in the mail if you want. Otherwise, 

you have until March 1, 2013 to switch from paper 

benefit checks to direct deposit. Here’s what you should 

know. 

Mandatory Direct Deposit 

The reason the U.S. Department of Treasury is 

phasing out paper Social Security checks and replacing 

them with electronic delivery is because it’s cheaper, 

safer and more reliable. About 93 percent of federal 

benefit recipients already receive their payments via 

direct deposit. Switching most of the remaining 7 

percent to paperless payments is expected to save 

Social Security around $600 million over the next 10 

years in postage, paper and printing costs. The switch 

will also eliminate the potential problem of checks that 

get lost in the mail or stolen. 

Therefore, anyone who is currently receiving their 

Social Security, SSI, veterans, railroad retirement or 

federal civil servant retirement benefits in the mail, 

will need to switch to direct deposit either into a bank 

account or credit union of their choice, or a Direct 

Express Debit MasterCard by March 1, 2013. 

The only exceptions are for elderly seniors born 

before March 1, 1923, mentally impaired people and 

recipients who live in remote rural areas. They will 

still have the option of receiving their government 

benefits via paper check if they wish. 

Debit Card Option 

If you don’t want your government benefits direct 

deposited in your bank account, or if you don’t have a 

bank account that your payments can be deposited 

into, you’ll need to get a Direct Express Debit 

MasterCard. This is a prepaid debit card that was 

introduced by the Treasury Department back in 2008. 

With a Direct Express Debit MasterCard your 

Social Security and/or other government benefits will 

automatically be deposited to your card’s account on 

your payment day each month. Your card can then be 

used to get cash from ATMs, banks or credit unions 

tellers, pay bills online and over the phone, make 

purchases at stores or locations that accept Debit 

MasterCard and get cash back when you make those 

purchases, and purchase money orders at the U.S. Post 

Office. The money you spend or withdraw is 

automatically deducted from your account. And you 

can check your balance any time by phone, online or 

at ATMs. 

There’s also no cost to sign up for the card, no 

monthly fees and no overdraft charges. There are, 

however, a few small fees for optional services you need 

to be aware of, like multiple ATM withdrawals. 

Currently, cardholders get one free ATM withdrawal 

per month, but additional monthly withdrawals cost 

90 cents each not including a surcharge if you use a 

non-network ATM. 

Another important feature is security. Your card is 

PIN-protected, the money in your account is FDICinsured, 

and if the card gets lost or stolen it will be 

replaced with consumer protections if it’s reported 

promptly. 

How to Switch 

To sign up for direct deposit into a bank or credit 

union, or to sign up for the Direct Express Debit 

MasterCard, call Go Direct at 800-333-1795 or visit 

godirect.org. 

You also need to be aware that if you don’t sign up 

for direct bank deposit or get a Direct Express card by 

the March 1, 2013 deadline, the government will 

automatically issue you a Direct Express card and mail 

it to you, and your benefits will be deposited on your 

card’s account thereafter.

Explore New Opportunities 

During Open Enrollment 

It’s Open Enrollment time, that period in which 

you can review and revise your employee benefits 

package. What areas should you focus on? 

For starters, consider the life insurance offered by 

your employer. If you’ve had significant changes in 

your life, such as welcoming a child to your family, you 

may now need to supplement your employer’s coverage. 

Also, how about disability insurance? Add up your 

monthly expenses and then compare the total to the 

disability coverage in your employer’s plan. You may 

discover a “gap” that should be filled. 

Finally, consider boosting your contributions to your 

401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. 

And review your investment mix to make sure it’s still 

appropriate for your needs. 

Your benefit package is important — so make the 

most of it.

South Granville held 

off the hard charging 

Northwood Chargers for a 

40-30 homecoming win. 

The Vikings and the 

Chargers traded 

possessions and battled to 

a scoreless first quarter. 

The Chargers got on 

the board first in the 

second quarter on a 22- 

yard pass completion for a 

touchdown. Northwood 

led 7-0 after converting 

the extra point. 

The South Granville 

backfield was featured on 

the next drive. Sean 

Bowman and Kenny Walls 

zipped through the holes 

opened by the offensive 

line for a total of 31 yards. 

While Northwood waited 

for the next running back 

carry, Taz Strudwick 

slipped past defenders and 

was wide open to receive 

a 43-yard touchdown pass 

from Matt McCutcheon. 

Corey Phillips converted 

the extra point to tie the 

score at 7 all with 4:24 

remaining in the second 

quarter. 

Northwood kicked a 

23-yard field goal to take 

a 10-7 lead at the half. 

The Vikings went to the 

air on the first series in the 

second half. McCutcheon 

found Craig Wilkie open 

for a 27-yard reception. 

Walls found open running 

after the pass play and 

ripped off 15 yards in four 

carries. McCutcheon 

found Josh Lawler open 

deep in the end zone for a 

19-yard touchdown pass 

with 7:36 to go in the third 

quarter. The extra point 

was blocked and the 

Vikings held a 13-10 lead. 

South Granville decided to 

grind it out on the next 

possession. McCutcheon, 

Walls, Brysen Thorpe and 

Casey Flowers carried the 

ball on this drive. Thorpe 

scored on a one yard run 

with 2:41 remaining in the 

third quarter. Phillips 

converted the extra point 

and South Granville led 

20-10. 

The Vikings’ defense 

shut down the next 

Northwood drive and 

forced a punt. South 

Granville and Northwood 

literally rode Walls’ back 

on the next touchdown. 

The Chargers looked to 

have Walls stopped at the 

five, but his sheer will and 

determination allowed 

him to score. Phillips 

added the PAT and South 

Granville led 27-10. 

Cory Lomena picked 

off a Charger pass at the 

34-yard line and turned on 

the after burners to race 

away from the Northwood 

defenders for a 66-yard 

touchdown. The extra 

points failed and South 

Granville held a 33-10 

lead. 

Walls again broke the 

Chargers with a 67-yard 

touchdown run with 6:36 

left in the game. Phillips 

converted the extra points 

and the Vikings held a 40- 

10 lead. 

Northwood made the 

final six minutes of the 

game interesting by 

scoring three touchdowns 

to make the final score 40- 

30in favor of the Vikings. 

Kenny Walls led the 

Vikings with 161 yards 

rushing on 20 carries.

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.

City Of Creedmoor Projects Weekly Update 

This update from the 

City of Creedmoor is for 

the week of October 15, 

2012 to provide citizens 

with progress and impact 

information for the USDA 

Water and Sewer 

Infrastructure Project and 

the Cross City Trail 

Sidewalk Project (Phase I). 

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 its 

completion, crews are 

busy performing what 

was projected to be the 

most difficult part of 

what has been a very 

successful project. Down 

to the final stages, crews 

are currently performing 

valve replacements, 

service tie-ins and 

pipeline separations. 

During these operations, 

service interruptions, 

lane closures and boil 

water advisories are 

unavoidable as new 

construction is completed 

and old infrastructure 

needing attention is 

discovered and rectified. 

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 tieins 

and pipeline 

separations. Please note 

that this schedule is 

weather permitting and 

will move forward one 

day in the event of rain: 

• 10/15 from 9:00 

a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Crescent Drive. 

Pipeline separation 

on Crescent Drive. 

Expect service 

interruption and followup 

boil water advisory. 

• 10/16 from 9:00 p.m. 

to 6:00 a.m. Main & Lyon 

and Main & Mill. 

Valve replacement on 

Main and Lyon Streets 

and Main and Mill 

Streets. Expect service 

interruption and followup 

boil water advisory. 

Project #2: 500,000 

gallon downtown 

Water Tank. 

A dedication 

ceremony was held 

October 1, 2012. A 

commemorative plaque 

was presented and is to 

be installed at the base of 

the water tower. 

Project #3: Cross City 

Trail Sidewalk Project 

(Phase I) 

The Cross City Trail 

Sidewalk Project (Phase 

I) is a federal and state 

funded project for the 

installation of city 

sidewalks running 

alongside NC 56 from 

downtown Creedmoor 

going east past B.C. 

Roberts ball fields, 

Creedmoor Elementary, 

South Granville High 

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. 

Congratulations to 

Centurion for submitting 

the lowest bid! 

• Sidewalk pour will 

be performed at Pine 

Valley Drive. 

• No lane closures 

expected after the first of 

the week on Highway 56. 

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 

email our customer 

service staff at 

rreif@cityofcreed 

moor.org or phone (919) 

764-1010. The City o 

Creedmoor would like to 

thank its citizens for their 

patience as we grow 

together!
