BY EDITH GILL 

In a Currier & Ives-like 

setting on a fall day, 

approximately 100 people 

gathered at a small church 

in southern Granville 

County to honor veterans, 

pay respect to loves ones who 

have passed on, share 

memories and fellowship 

with friends. 

What has been referred 

to as the epitome of “the 

church in the wildwood” 

Grove Hill Church — has 

been nestled in the woods off 

the beaten path since 1840. 

While this was a day of 

celebration, many of those 

present knew the church’s 

history included years of 

hardship and a struggle for 

survival. Throughout 

it’s 170 years, the small church 

and the community’s residents 

witnessed periods of economic 

depression and dwindling 

population when family 

members left the farms to seek 

better job opportunities. 

Many who returned home 

for the Veterans Memorial 

dedication ceremony on 

Sunday, November 7th, 

recalled a childhood spent in 

the Grove Hill community and 

fond memories of family and 

friends. 

This small rural 

community sent many of its 

residents to serve their 

country — often in times of 

war and conflict. 

Like countless others 

across this nation, this church 

and community prayed for 

their safe return. 

Only four days from 

Veteran’s Day, November 7 a 

dedication ceremony was held 

for a newly-erected Veterans 

Memorial. 

The Veterans Memorial is 

located at 2766 Grove Hill 

Road. The memorial was 

erected to honor U.S. military 

veterans from the Grove Hill 

community in appreciation for 

their service to their country. 

The US, NC and Christian 

flags at the memorial site 

were installed this summer. 

The 6x10 US flag stand 30 feet 

Monument dedicated 

high; the 5x8 NC and

Creedmoor Receives Award For Financial Reporting 

BY SCOTTIE WILKINS 

As local residents may 

remember, there was a time 

a few years ago when the 

City of Creedmoor found 

itself struggling with 

weaknesses specific to 

financial reporting at the 

time of an IRS audit of the 

City of Creedmoor’s 

financial records. 

Once Mayor Darryl Moss 

and the City’s Board of 

Commissioners became 

aware of the shortfalls, they 

appointed the City 

Manager, Tom Mercer, to 

head up the corrective action 

program for the city’s 

Finance Department. 

Those actions, which 

began in late 2008, have now 

brought recognition by a 

Certificate of Achievement 

for Excellence in Financial 

Reporting. 

The award is the highest 

form of recognition 

presented in the area of 

governmental accounting 

and financial reporting, and 

its attainment represents a 

View from the church entrance 

significant accomplishment by 

a government and its 

management by the 

government finance officers 

association. 

This award was presented 

in the Board of Commissioners 

regular work session on 

Monday, November 8th by Jeff 

McCauley of the Government 

Finance Officers Association of 

the United States and Canada 

(GFOA). 

Creedmoor City Manager 

Mercer began the corrective 

action program in November of 

2008 by reorganizing the 

Finance Department, 

eliminating the Finance 

Director position, and then 

assuming those duties himself. 

He then collaborated with 

experienced financial 

consultants to begin the task 

of reconciling and 

implementing new finance 

operating procedures. 

Key individuals involved 

were: the Local Government 

Commission Officials & Staff; 

Bill Tatum (a local CPA) and 

auditors from Winston, 

Coach Mike Krzyzewski and Nona Young from Nona’s Bakery in 

Creedmoor are shown with the students who won a Christmas 

Design Contest to benefit Duke Children’s Hospital. Each child got 

a framed picture of their card and a cake with their card hand drawn 

on it which was made by Nona’s Bakery. A large cake was a 

combination of all the cards put together. Boxes of the cards will 

be for sale soon at Nona’s Bakery. Some of the student artists are 

shown in the front row. 

Veterans present at the ceremony to dedicate the Veterans Memorial at Grove Hill Church included: Front 

Left: to Right: Rufus Wynn, Howard Wynn, Pete Washington, Al Strother, Lawrence Rivers, Randy Renn 

Tommy Preddy, Rancher Preddy, Johnny Preddy, Fred Nelson, Jessie Murphy, Joe Metcalf, Donna Carter

charge.

At the Creedmoor Awards Ceremony for the presentation of the recognition by the Government Finance 

Offices Association were Commissioner Tim Karan; Jeff McCauley, Government Finance Officers 

Association (GFOA); Korena Weichel, Administrative Services Manager; Mayor Darryl Moss; City Manager 

Tom Mercer; Ren Wiles, CPA, Creedmoor Finance Officer; Carlene Evans, CPA; Tim Romocki, NC Local 

Government Commission; and Jim Winston, CPA. 

Commissioners Approve 

Separation Allowance 

The Granville County 

Commissioners Monday night 

passed a separation allowance 

for County Commissioners 

who have served twelve years 

or more. The formula 

approved to be paid to 

commissioners leaving office 

after 12 to 15 years was 50 

percent of their final 

compensation paid. Those who 

had served for 16 to 19 years 

would receive 60 percent of 

their final compensation paid 

and those serving 20 years or 

more would receive 70 percent 

of the final compensation paid 

while the commissioner was in 

office. 

The separation allowance 

that was approved begins 

with the current board of 

commissioners and was made 

effective December 1st, 2010. 

Payments are to be made 

on a monthly basis beginning 

at age 55, on the month 

following a commissioners 

leaving the board if he or she 

is 55 or older. Each fiscal year 

the separation allowance will 

be increased in accordance 

with any increase in the Local 

Government Employee 

Retirement System. 

It was stipulated that 

county commissioners not 

wishing to participate could 

sign a waiver declining the 

separation allowance. 

The motion to establish 

the allowance was made by 

Commissioner Ronald 

Alligood and seconded by 

Commissioner Hubert Gooch. 

There were two no votes. 

Voting no were 

Commissioners James 

Lumpkins and Commissioner 

Dave Currin. 

The motion therefore 

passed by a vote of 5 to 2. 

Commissioner Lumpkins, 

who did not seek re-election 

asked the County Manager to 

prepare paperwork for him to 

sign a waiver to decline the 

separation allowance. 

In addition to Lumpkins 

those currently eligible for 

the allowance are 

Commissioner Ronald 

Alligood with 18 years of 

service and Commissioner 

W.E. “Pete” Averette with 30 

years of service.

SOAP OPERA REVIEW 

by Toby Goldstein 

ALL MY CHILDREN becomes an issue at home. 

Cooking Column Crossword Puzzle 

Everyone in the courtroom GENERAL HOSPITAL 

Creedmoor resident Bonnie Barnett is the author of a book, 

Bobo’s Daughter, about her life experience as the daughter 

of famous circus performer Bobo The Clown. 

Bonnie was born and raised in southern California and 

her mother and father became separated while Bonnie was 

still a very young child. 

Bobo’s Daughter explains the pain Bonnie felt growing 

up poor without her father’s presence in her life and her quest 

for a relationship with the father she barely knew until after 

she became an adult. 

Bonnie’s mother was 15 years younger than her dad and 

her father had to travel constantly to perform with the circus. 

Differences led to the separation of her parents and Bonnie 

grew up without the physical 

presence of her dad and with 

little financial support from 

him. 

She first met her dad at the 

circus when she was four 

years old. He was one of the 

world’s most famous clowns. 

He was a star performer 

appearing with the Shrine 

Circus and other famous 

circus productions, he also 

performed on the Ed Sullivan 

Show and was almost 

constantly traveling all over 

the U.S. and the world. 

BONNIE BARNETT 

Bobo rarely tried to have 

any contact with his daughter 

and his absence left a sense 

of loss and loneliness in her life. 

Raised by her mother, Dottie, the circus’s first girl clown, 

Bonnie lived in small apartments and sometimes had only 

canned spaghetti and Spam to eat. 

From the time she was 16 she became determined to find 

her father and write a book about her lonely years growing 

up without him in her life. 

When she first met her dad at the circus when she was 

four years old he was in his clown costume. The event was 

recorded by a photographer for the Los Angeles Herald 

Examiner who took a photograph of the two together. The 

picture became her artwork for her book cover. 

It also details how she graduated from college with degrees 

in both art and psychology and she began life as an adult 

finding her dad was to become a challenge on which she 

centered her life as a consuming passion. 

When she was 31 she showed up on her father’s doorstep. 

Bobo was seventy-six by then. Bonnie was happy, nervous 

and excited to find him. 

Her book details the pain and frustrations in Bonnie’s 

early life, her quest to find her dad and the surprises she 

encountered when she found him and better understood the 

complications and contradictions that led him to become the 

person behind the make-up and costumes of Bobo the Clown. 

Her contact with him led Bonnie to a sense of peace and 

forgiveness and healing from better understanding her father. 

Bonnie now lives on Elm Street in Creedmoor and has 

two adult children. She works as a marriage, family and 

child therapist and life coach. 

The full title of her book is Bobo’s Daughter: One 

Woman’s Journey to Find Hope, Healing and the Father 

Behind the Face Paint (Synergy Books, September 2010). 

Chester “Bobo” Barnett “Bobo the Clown” was inducted 

into the International Clown Hall of Fame in October, 2010. 

The book cover for Bonnie Barnett’s Book about her father. 

reeled when the jury in 

Greenlee’s murder trial 

announced its verdict. 

Despite having received an 

apology from Greenlee, 

Kendall was furious at the 

outcome and railed against 

her. After hearing the verdict, 

Liza pledged to continue 

doing her job and targeted 

someone else in the room as 

the next recipient of her 

wrath. Krystal and Tad 

shared shocking news. 

Coming: Kendall’s state of 

mind worries Erica. 

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL 

Having delayed Liam long 

enough for Oliver to make his 

move on Hope, Amber 

allowed him to finally get to 

the party, where Hope and 

Oliver were sharing a 

passionate kiss. Liam walked 

in on the intimate scene and 

tried to explain why he was 

so late. Amber wasn’t 

apologetic about her role in 

creating the situation when 

Oliver called her out, and 

offered him future help in 

landing Hope, in exchange for 

Oliver agreeing to help her 

with her “needs.” Coming: 

Oliver plays along to get the 

one he wants. 

DAYS OF OUR LIVES 

Sami and Rafe were 

married in an emotional 

ceremony, only to have EJ 

show up immediately 

afterward and insist on 

taking Johnny and Sydney. 

EJ told Nicole to come back 

the next day when she asked 

to see Sydney. Brady 

prevented Vivian from killing 

Victor, who rescued Maggie 

and professed his love for her, 

while fearing she would die. 

Finally brought to the 

hospital, Maggie recovered 

but wanted nothing to do with 

Victor when she realized he 

left Vivian in the 

sarcophagus. Coming: Vivian 

targets a new enemies list. 

DESPERATE 

HOUSEWIVES 

In a rebroadcast of the 

season opener, Paul Young, 

released from prison, moved 

back to the neighborhood 

with his new wife and a 

possibly dangerous agenda. 

With Paul renting her home, 

Susan, Mike and MJ were 

scraping by in an apartment, 

but Susan’s future seemed 

brighter when Maxine, the 

apartment complex manager, 

offered her an unorthodox job. 

Lynette’s successful college 

friend, Vanessa, visited the 

Scavos. Coming: Paul’s past 

Unable to hold back, 

Sonny and Brenda gave in to 

an intense kiss. After 

revealing most of her secret 

to Sonny, Brenda agreed to go 

on a date with him, 

tentatively giving them 

another chance. Meanwhile, 

Claire’s new strategy was 

suggesting to Alexis and 

Diane that she join their firm 

as a defense lawyer. Due to 

lack of evidence, Lisa received 

probation, while Johnny used 

the telltale syringe to keep 

the upper hand. Coming: 

Lulu’s loved ones fear she’ll be 

hurt by Dante’s secret. 

GOSSIP GIRL 

In a rebroadcast of the 

season’s second episode, the 

handsome Louis wooed Blair, 

who believed he was a 

member of Monaco’s royal 

family. Concerned that there 

has been no trace of Chuck for 

months, Lily asked Serena to 

help her find him. Both 

women were unaware that 

Chuck was making a fresh 

start in Paris in the company 

of the mysterious Eva - until 

he and Blair locked eyes in a 

chance encounter. Coming: It 

looks like all-out war against 

the Upper East Siders. 

ONE LIFE TO LIVE 

Rex saw the DNA test 

result that confirmed he’s 

Echo’s son, but Clint had the 

other test altered to indicate 

that Charlie, not he, is Rex’s 

father. While Jessica told 

Ford that her baby is Brody’s, 

not his, Natalie admitted to 

Gigi that she’s lying about her 

test results, and the baby is 

really Brody’s. Marty 

envisioned telling John the 

real results of Natalie’s test. 

Todd handed Marty a court 

order barring her from seeing 

Hope. Coming: Things get 

tense when Joe and Kelly 

meet. 

YOUNG AND RESTLESS 

Victor told Michael of his 

plan to destroy Adam and 

Jack when he pulls his money 

out of the Newman Fund. 

Abby realized she can never 

trust Victor again after 

Ashley revealed to her what 

Victor did to Jack. Adam gave 

Skye the papers giving her 

half his share of the fund, 

saying that if she signs, he 

walks away and she gets it 

all. When Jack later found 

Skye’s hotel room trashed, 

and Ronan discovered blood 

in the room, they feared that 

Skye could be Adam’s next 

victim. Coming: Victor blows 

another chance to earn his 

family’s trust. 

Viking Voice 

by Miranda Gooch 

Hello Vikings! Here’s another update on what’s going 

on at South Granville High School. Thanksgiving is right 

around the corner and there are kids even in our 

community that won’t be able to have a Thanksgiving 

dinner with their family. So, Ms. Barone and the CARE 

Committee is sponsoring a Thanksgiving Food Drive 

Contest for all the CREWS. 

Each week during the month of November, there has 

been a specific kind of food that students have been asked 

to bring in. This past week, the students were asked to 

bring in boxed Macaroni and Cheese. This week, the 

committee wants boxed stuffing. Whichever CREW brings 

in the most items by the end of the Food Drive will win a 

pizza party. 

If you are interested in buying a fruit box from the 

FFA or Marching Band, the deadline to turn in order forms 

and money is Tuesday, November 30, from 6-8pm in the 

SG Cafeteria. The day to pick up your fruit is Thursday, 

December 16, at Butner’s National Guard Armory from 

12-8pm. For more information, contact Mr. Stainback or 

Mr. Sample. 

Virtual Enterprise is selling long-sleeved Viking Pride 

t-shirts during all 3 lunches for only $12. You can even 

personalize them with the year you graduate (Class of 

2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, etc.)

3 lunches on Wednesdays and Fridays. They are only $55 

up until the students leave for Christmas Break. When 

they come back, the price will go up to $65. Senior Ad’s are 

also still available for sale. There is a link on the SGHS-

Your Week Ahead Horoscope 

November 18 - November 24, 2010 

by Lasha Seniuk 

www.mysticstars.net 

ARIES (March 21-April 

19): There is a lid for every 

pot. You may feel a little 

lonely or alienated in the 

week ahead. No matter how 

different you feel or how 

outrageous your desires, you 

will find your match at some 

point. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20): What goes around comes 

around. Your generosity or 

wisdom might be rewarded. 

You might receive a valuable 

offer or advice. Be grateful 

when moved to the front of 

the line by a Good Samaritan 

this week. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20): Travel light. Discard 

biased opinions and skip past 

misinformation, as you don’t 

need excess baggage. This is 

an excellent week to make 

reliable and rewarding 

resolutions or begin 

something exciting. 

CANCER (June 21-July 

22): You could be stressed for 

success in the week to come. 

There could be a domino 

effect that causes you to 

react to someone else and 

that causes yet another tile 

to fall. Relax and put 

business aside temporarily. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): 

Make plans for the family 

future. Today you might have 

a golden opportunity to make 

lasting peace with an 

estranged family member or 

to discuss a significant 

project. Cooperation from 

others is in your stars this 

week. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): 

It is much better to make a 

key decision yourself than to 

have it made for you. If you 

aren’t sure what to do then 

ask for counsel from someone 

in the immediate vicinity 

this week. You will be happy 

with the results. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): 

While gentle Venus 

retrogrades through your 

sign your outer demeanor 

softens. You are more likely 

want to cuddle kittens and

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

interests at heart. Pay extra 

attention to young people 

and children and spend 

extra time with hobbies in 

the week ahead. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- 

Dec. 21): Your productivity 

playground is closed for 

repairs. Keep your money in 

your wallet this week and 

don’t tweak financial affairs. 

The harder you try to be 

businesslike the worse the 

results. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- 

Jan. 19): When you play 

poker, you can use cutthroat 

tactics and bluffs. In the 

week ahead and in real 

world situations, you might 

find that an “all for 

themselves” outlook only 

alienates supporters. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 

18): Your biological clock 

might not be wound as 

tightly as you think. In the 

week ahead you can relax. 

Take your time as you get 

acquainted with a new 

romantic prospect or learn a 

new creative technique. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 

20): Fate stitches together 

scraps of your life until you 

are covered in a quilt of your 

own making. Look at your 

emotional and physical 

surroundings in the week 

ahead and you will see 

where many single choices 

have led.

THE BUTNER-CREEMOOR NEWS 

EDITORIAL PAGE 

THURSDAY 

November 18, 2010 

Do the Republicans who 

now will control Congress 

want a quick way out of the 

recession? 

If so there is an easy and a 

quick way to get the job done. 

Available information 

indicates that there are currently 

about 90 million taxpayers 

now paying taxes in 

the United States. 

If the government would 

just send a check of say 

20,000 to each of those taxayers 

it would get the U.S. 

conomy back in a “Gold Rush 

oom” quickly. 

That would only cost the 

S Treasury $2 1/4 trillion 

ollars and since the total 

ublic debt as of Nov. 7, 2010 

as already $9.14 trillion 

hat’s another $2 1/4 trillion 

f it really worked! 

After all we spent $700 

illion bailing out Wall Street 

nd most working U.S. 

itizens didn’t get any of that. 

This plan leaves out those 

ho are not paying taxes now 

nd those on welfare but...oh 

ell! There is some justice in 

hat. 

Can you imagine what an 

xtra $20,000 or $40,000 for 

wo person taxpayers families 

ould mean. 

You can bet most of that 

money would be plowed back 

into the economy. 

Maybe some of us could 

buy one of those $30,000 

electric cars from a U.S. 

automaker. 

Talk about putting people 

back to work! 

It would mean jobs, jobs, 

jobs especially if it was set up 

so that the users had to buy 

American made products to 

qualify for the money. 

How much is one trillion 

dollars? It is one million 

times a million dollars. That’s 

a lot of gravy biscuits but 

already the federal deficit 

increased by $1.9 trillion in 

fiscal year 2009 and $1.7 

trillion in fiscal year 2010. 

If boom time could stop 

the bleeding maybe it would 

be worth the cost. 

The U.S. has the 20th 

highest debt to GDP ratio of 

all nations already what’s 

another $2 trillion or so. 

In 2010 the budget for the 

Department of Defense rose 

to $533.8 billion dollars and 

adding spending for “overseas 

contingency operations” 

increased that figure to the 

sum of $685.1 billion. 

The Wars in Iraq and 

Afghanistan are largely 

funded through supplementary 

spending bills categorized 

as “overseas contingency 

operations.” 

The largest of these two 

procurement amounts is the 

Department of Defense’s FY 

2011 procurement budget 

which alone is set at $137.5 

billion dollars and $77.2 

billion for research and 

development. 

To bring it all into perspective 

Bill Gates is considered 

by Forbes Magazine 

as the second richest man in 

the Western Hemisphere with 

a net worth estimated at 53 

billion dollars. Trailing along 

in third place is Warren Buffet 

at $47 billion. 

Both of them are behind 

Mexico telecommunications 

pioneer Carlos Slim Helu who 

Forbes lists as the richest 

with $53 1/2 billion. 

All three of these men’s 

net worth together is under 

one fourth of the U.S.’s annual 

defense budget. 

All these are big numbers 

but it’s going to take 

something dramatic to get us 

out of the Great Recession. 

Could you use a $20,000 

check or two for your family 

at holiday time?

Letter To The Editor 

COSTUME DOESN’T WORK 

TO THE EDITOR: 

I love being part of the Creedmoor community. I love 

that I can walk down Main Street with my children, the 

shop owners knowing them by name, and that they feel 

safe. I love the festivals and events. The town puts a lot 

of hard work into them and I really appreciate that. 

I love that my friends in Durham, Chapel Hill, 

Carrboro... tease me about living in Mayberry. We are a 

really progressive small town. We are everything that those 

other towns claim to be. We are living it. 

I thought my love affair with Creedmoor would never 

end, until Trick or Treating on Main St. 

We have done this for a couple of years now. My chilren 

love showing off their costumes, and I love hearing 

ow adorable they are. 

This year took a strange turn, though. We went, as a 

amily, marveling at the other children and reveling in the 

ohs and ah’s of the shop owners when we noticed a grown 

an dressed as an SS officer. Really??? 

I had to do a double take. Yes, this was a grown man 

ressed as a Nazi - to a children’s’ event! I couldn’t believe 

t. For over a week now I’ve been trying to fool myself into 

hinking that when trying to decide what to wear he 

hought to himself , “What is the scariest thing I can think 

f?” 

If this was a joke, then all I have to say is that it didn’t 

ork for Prince Harry, and it doesn’t work for you. If this 

s not a joke then I am truly saddened. 

This was not Halloween on Franklin Street in Chapel 

ill, and, come on Creedmoor, we have more class than 

his. This was the wrong event to advertise horrific, out 

ated, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, anti-semitic politcal 

leanings. This was a family event! 

Keep your uniform in your closet. Seeing the reaction 

f others to this person, and the horrified looks from some 

ut-of-towners I know that I am not the only person that 

eels this way. Hopefully, more people will speak out 

gainst this. 

Heather Thomas 


Another Governor Under Investigation 

It was a week before the 

election, and Tom Fetzer had 

called another news conference 

to lob grenades at 

Democrats. 

"I predict that she (Gov. 

Beverly Perdue) won't run 

for re-election," the 

chairman of the state 

Republican Party said. 

Fetzer went on to say 

that he expected Perdue 

either wouldn't be in office 

in the fall of 2012 or would 

be so badly damaged by 

events swirling around her 

that she would choose not to 

run. 

His comments followed 

news that a federal grand 

jury had been hearing 

testimony about the Perdue 

campaign's unreported air 

travel and its broader 

campaign finances. Wake 

County District Attorney 

Colon Willoughby had 

already announced a state 

investigation into the 

campaign flights. 

Nonetheless, the prediction 

seemed pretty bold. 

The Perdue camp's air 

travel woes had been in the 

news for a while. She and 

her campaign staff had tried 

to make 

amends by 

disclosing 

flights, reimbursing 

companies 

and paying 

fines. None 

of the 

allegations, 

already 

considered 

by the state 

Board of 

Election, had her personally 

profiting. Democratic Party 

officials had also rolled out 

evidence indicating that 

Republican gubernatorial 

hopefuls had failed to report 

air travel, though on a much 

smaller scale. 

Marc Farinella, a 

spokesman for the Perdue 

campaign, dismissed 

Fetzer's words as preelection 

bluster. 

"What else would you 

expect the Republican Party 

chairman to say a week 

before an election? His job is 

to offer up partisan 

nonsense," Farinella said. 

Farinella may be right. 

Perdue shows no signs now 

that she won't seek another

fundraiser 

in Charlotte 

for 

next week. 

Or, perhaps 

Fetzer 

knows 

more than 

he's publicly 

stating. 

Whatever the case, the 

election is over now. The 

time has come for the 

perpetual investigations of 

the executive branch of 

North Carolina government 

to either produce 

evidence of wrongdoing 

and indictments, or for 

federal prosecutors to move 

on. 

George Holding, the 

federal prosecutor for the 

Eastern District of North 

Carolina who has been 

heading the investigations 

of the Easley and now the 

Perdue administrations, is 

on borrowed time. He's a 

holdover from the Bush 

administration.

S tructure of the 

North Carolina General 

Assembly 

Laws of North Carolina, 

known as statutes, are made 

by the General Assembly. The 

North Carolina General 

Assembly (NCGA) is made of 

two bodies or houses; the 

Senate, which has 50 

members; and the House of 

Representatives, which 

consists of 120 members. 

Each legislator represents 

either a Senatorial District or 

a House District. 

The General Assembly 

meets in regular session 

beginning in January of each 

odd-numbered year, and 

adjourns to reconvene the 

following even-numbered 

year for a shorter session. 

The Senate and the House 

of Representatives meet in 

their respective chambers on 

Monday evenings and during 

the day on Tuesday, 

Wednesday, and Thursday. 

The members return to their 

homes to take care of their 

affairs and be available to 

their constituents during the 

weekend. During the week, 

committee meetings are held 

in the 

morning 

and late 

afternoon. 

A great 

deal of the 

legislative 

work is 

done in 

the committee 

meetings. 

T h e 

House of 

Representatives is presided 

over by a Speaker, elected 

from its membership. The 

presiding officer of the Senate 

(called the President of the 

Senate) is the Lieutenant 

Governor of the State. She/he 

has no vote in the Senate 

except to break a tie. The 

Senate and House also elect 

other officers from their 

respective memberships 

including a President Pro 

Tempore in the Senate. 

At the beginning of each 

session, the President Pro

Speaker of the House of

Cardinal State Bank Announces Retirement 

Of Regional President John Mallard 

Cardinal State Bank, a 

division of Yadkin Valley 

Bank, has announced the 

retirement of John Mallard, 

one of the original founders of 

this Durham-based 

community bank franchise. 

Mallard's retirement was 

effective October 31, 2010. 

Mallard, the inspiration 

behind the company, was 

committed to establishing a 

local bank that would cater to 

the financial needs of 

Durham County merchants 

and residents. In June of 

2001, his dream was realized 

with the opening of their first 

office in Durham. Under his 

leadership, the bank 

expanded their footprint to 

nearby Orange and Granville 

counties, operating five fullservice 

branches with over 

$150 million in assets. 

Following the merger with 

Yadkin Valley Bank in 2008, 

Mallard continued in a 

prominent role as Regional 

President for the Durhambased 

division until his 

decision to retire this month. 

"We want to thank John 

for his contributions to our 

company, both as the original 

founder and CEO of Cardinal 

State Bank and as a leader 

within Yadkin Valley Bank," 

said Joe Towell, Yadkin Valley 

Bank President and Chief 

Operating Officer. "John has 

done a terrific job building an 

important division of the 

Bank and leaves behind a 

very capable team." 

"I have truly enjoyed my 

time with Cardinal State 

Bank and I am proud of how 

it has become an integral part 

of the Yadkin Valley Bank 

family," said Mallard. 

"Although I will miss all of the 

customers and employees who 

have made my time with 

Cardinal State so special, I 

also look forward to spending 

a lot more time chasing a little 

white ball and doing some 

serious fishing." 

John has also been active 

in the community, serving in 

multiple capacities with the 

Durham Chamber (Board 

Member) and the Duke Home 

Care & Hospice, along with 

numerous other community 

organizations during his 35 

year banking career. John and 

his wife, Meri, reside in 

Durham and have two 

children and grandchildren.

10a The Butner-Creedmoor News, Thursday, November 18, 2010 

FLVF Gets Venetian Blind Funding 

October was Domestic 

Violence Awareness month. 

Victims of domestic violence 

and rape need a place of 

refuge; a place to talk with 

counselors; a place to feel 

secure in learning to deal 

with their emotions and 

other aspects of their 

distress. 

Granville County is very 

fortunate to have the 

Families Living Violence 

Free Center where these 

clients can seek help. Many 

smaller North Carolina 

counties have none. The 

center is a Not-for-profit 

organization and in order to 

keep the Center in tip-top 

shape, while offering its clients 

first-rate help, FLVF needs 

financial and volunteer 

support from the community. 

Recently, two local 

organizations began Domestic 

Violence Awareness month by 

honoring the work done by 

Director, Lauren Rene and her 

staff with donations to 

purchase venetian blinds for 

the center. Cindy Fink, owner 

of Bella Windows started the 

ball rolling with a donation of 

venetian blinds for several 

windows of the center. 

Furthermore, Fink presented 

the center’s need for more 

blinds to the Oxford United 

Methodist Church’s Deborah 

Circle and this group 

presented the FLVF center 

with $250.00 from their 

community outreach funds. 

The Deborah Circle earned 

their community outreach 

funds by holding pre- 

Thanksgiving pie sale, a pre- 

Christmas cinnamon bun 

bake sale and a once-a-year 

yard sale. 

Meanwhile, the Oxford 

Woman’s Club held a raffle, 

during the September Hot 

Sauce Contest event, for a 

$100.00 WalMart Gift Card 

and a small guessing game 

contest for a $10.00 gift 

certificate to Pizza Hut. 

Proceeds from the raffles, 

with added funding from the 

club were earmarked for 

blinds for the FLVF Center; 

the result was a $200.00 

donation. During the month 

of October, The Oxford 

Woman’s Club decorated the 

trees in the Oxford business 

district with purple bows as 

a memorial to all the victims 

of domestic violence and rape. 

These ribbons serve as a 

reminder that Granville 

County’s incidents of 

domestic violence increases 

each year and the Families 

Living Violence Free Center 

needs community support in 

order to keep its doors open 

to help those families who 

suffer or need counseling 

because of the domestic 

violence in their lives. 

The Oxford Woman’s Club 

will place collection boxes at 

various businesses 

throughout the county and 

urge residents to drop in their 

donations when they see the 

box labeled for Families 

Living Violence Free. Lauren 

Rene, the Center’s Director, 

once said, “We count pennies 

around here!” So, every coin 

you drop in will help toward 

serving some useful purpose 

at the Center. 

Both the Deborah Circle 

and the Oxford Woman’s Club 

thank residents of Granville 

County for their support of 

the organizations’ projects for 

community outreach. 

Everyone working together 

made a sizable contribution 

toward the FLVF Center’s 

goal to make the center a 

comfortable place of shelter 

and warmth. The FLVF 

Center’s phone number is 919- 

693-5700; make a call to offer 

your help or donations.

South Granville’s Season Ends With A 41-7 Loss 

To Northwood In The First Round Of State Playoffs 

BY AMANDA DIXON 

SPORTS WRITER 

BCNSALES@MINDSPRING.COM 

South Granville’s season 

ended with a 41-7 loss to 

Northwood in the first round 

of the NCHSAA 2A State 

Playoffs on November 12 th . 

Northwood used a strong 

passing game to score early 

and often against the Vikings. 

The Charger receivers out 

jumped and out muscled the 

South Granville defenders for 

two touchdowns in the first 

quarter and one in the second 

quarter. The Vikings spotted 

Northwood 19 points with 

6:05 remaining in the second 

quarter. 

An interception and three 

yard return by Dillon Beck 

gave the Vikings the ball at 

the 48-yard line. The Vikings 

had trouble moving the ball 

and punted the ball. Corey 

Phillips managed to get the 

punt away, but was hit by a 

Northwood player. A 

roughing the kicker penalty 

gave the Vikings a first down 

at the 42-yard line. Matthew 

Fuhr found Juston Harris 

open down the left sideline for 

a 41-yard reception and run. 

Fuhr punched the ball in for 

a touchdown from the oneyard 

line. Phillips added the 

extra point and the Vikings 

cut the lead to 12. South 

Granville trailed the Chargers 

19-7 with 1:29 to play in the 

opening half. 

Cory Lomena picked off a 

Charger pass and returned 

the ball 78 yards as time ran 

off the clock to end the first 

half. Northwood led 19-7 at 

the half. 

Northwood found the 

endzone three more times in 

the second half to make the 

final score 41-7. South 

Granville finished the season 

with a 5-7 record. 

Matthew Fuhr led the 

offense with four completed 

passes for 47 yards. Juston 

Harris had one reception for 

41 yards. Josh Bailey had two 

receptions for six yards. 

Kenneth Walls had 11 carries 

for 27 yards to lead the ground 

game. Josh Bailey had four 

carries for one yard. Dillon 

Beck had two carries for one 

yard. 

Tyler Brame led the 

defense with 10 tackles. 

Matthew Fuhr added eight 

tackles. Cory Lomena, 

Darien Smith, and Yul 

Godfrey each finished with 

seven tackles. Ansar 

Muhammad, Dillon Beck and 

Josh Bailey each recorded six 

tackles. 

Josh Thorpe, Dillon Beck 

and Cory Lomena each picked 

off a Charger pass.

Mighty Mites One Win 

Away From Championship 

BY BUTCH MARSHBURN 

The SGAA Mighty Mite 

Vikings are going to the East 

Wake Football League Super 

Bowl. The Vikings secured 

their spot in the finals with a 

21-6 win over the Louisburg 

Lions on Sunday afternoon. 

The Vikings’ offense got 

big plays and was able to use 

ball control, while the defense 

shut down Louisburg’s offense 

all day. Trevon Jones was the 

big play man, scoring on runs 

of 63, 17 and 51 yards. 

Stephen Staton (42 yards), 

Joe Delossantos (21 yards), 

Kris Monroe and Thomas 

Miles helped the Vikings 

control the ball and the clock. 

The offensive line kept the 

Lions’ quick defense off 

balance all day and helped 

power the Vikings to Victory. 

The Vikings’ defense was 

relentless and did not give up 

Casey Flowers on the block

a score all day, as the Lions’ 

only touchdown came on a 

kick-off return. Monroe was 

credited with a safety, when 

he tackled a Lion running 

back in the end zone to add the 

Vikings’ final two points of the 

game. Samir Williams had a 

interception and Ethan Goss 

lead the team in tackles with 

eight. Staton had 7 tackles. 

Jones and Nolan Mullens had 

six tackles each. Cody 

Stainback, Christopher 

Stainback and Williams had 

4 tackles each. 

The Vikings take on the 

Wake Forest Bulldogs this 

Saturday in Fuquay to decide 

the Mighty Mite 

Championship. The SGAA 

community should be very 

proud of this team, as they 

have had a fantastic season 

and hopefully will end it with 

a Super Bowl championship.

Mini Mites Eliminated 

BY LACY WHITE 

As the final seconds ticked 

away, so did the chances of the 

Mini Mites Vikings on 

Sunday. The Vikings were 

eliminated from the playoffs 

with a 13 to 6 loss to the 

Wendell Rams. The Rams ( 

#1 seed) came out strong and 

took a commanding 13 to 0 

lead in the first half and hung 

on to win and advance to the 

EWFL Super Bowl. The 

Vikings (#2 Seed) were never 

able to get any kind of offense 

going in the first half - 

committing 2 turnovers and 

only gaining 1 first down in 

the half. The Ram’s defense 

and the Vikings miscues 

resulted in the Rams 

controlling the ball and the 

clock as the Rams scored two 

touchdowns in the half while 

the Vikings offense only ran a 

handful of offensive plays. 

The second half started 

out much like the first half 

ended with the Vikings going 

3 and out giving the ball right 

back to the Rams. But the 

defense stood up to the 

challenge, stopping the Rams 

and giving the Vikings the 

ball in good field position. The 

Vikings offense responded 

with a 2 play scoring drive to 

cut the lead to 7 points late in 

the 3rd quarter. From there 

the Rams tried to run out the 

clock but the Vikings defense 

stopped them again and the 

Vikings had one more chance 

to tie the game. The offense 

started moving the ball down 

the field but ran out of time 

and turned the ball back over 

to the Rams with only a few 

seconds left on the clock. 

The Vikings finished the 

season with an 8 and 2 record 

and as the #2 seed in the 

North Division of the EWFL. 

These kids played their hearts 

out all season long and 

deserve all of credit for their 

success on the field. As the 

head coach, I would like to 

congratulate all the other 

coaches, parents and Vikings 

players on an outstanding 

football season and thank all 

the volunteers that made our 

season a great one on and off 

the field. Go Vikings!

Building, across Main Street from the church. The program provides food staples, fresh 

food and like-new clothing, and in the last quarter provided 1417 people with food and 

415 people with clothing. 

Headed up by a Ministry Team of volunteers from FBCC, the ministry buys food

donated from people in the community. Anyone wishing to donate food to the ministry 

can drop it off at the First Baptist Church office Monday through Friday between the 

hours of 9 am and 4 pm. 

In winter months, the food ministry is used very heavily by families that don’t have 

enough food to go around. Consequently, food donations from the community are 

currently desperately needed. 

The church also provides a limited amount of help with benevolence needs such as 

electric bills, medical bills and prescription drug costs when funds are available. 

For additional information, call the church office at 528-2351.

operates from the Christian Faith Center Warehouse located at 101 South Peachtree St., 

Creedmoor, NC 27522. 

The ministry purchases food from the NC Food Bank when funds are available but 

depends upon donations of food and money from the community to keep the program 

running. Those wishing to donate food to the program can do so by taking donations to 

Christian Faith Center at 101 South Peachtree Street. Food is distributed on Thursdays. 

Those requesting food must call before Thursday and fill out a form prior to receiving 

food.

FBC Took Part In “Caring For Creedmoor” 

On the morning of 

Saturday, October 30th sixtyone 

members of FBC 

Creedmoor gathered in their 

Family Life Center for a cup 

of warm coffee and their 

instructions for the day. 

Groups were sent to complete 

projects throughout the city in 

an effort to meet neighbors 

and show that the church 

cares for the city it has 

ministered to for over one 

hundred and fifteen years. 

A group of about twenty 

were able to spread a 

truckload of mulch at Hawley 

Middle School in an effort to 

help beautify the school 

grounds for the faculty and 

students. Another group was 

assigned to repaint benches at 

Creedmoor Elementary 

School. Later in the morning 

two groups set out into 

neighborhoods such as 

Whitehall and Kristina 

Crossings to give away bags 

of gifts such as gift certificates 

from local business and 

information about the 

congregation and their 

mission. A small band of 

window cleaners, including 

the congregation's interim 

pastor, marched up and down 

Main Street to wash the 

windows of local businesses at 

no charge. Hot dogs were 

given away to hungry 

residents of Royal Pavilion 

apartments. All of this 

activity had one goal in 

mind - getting to know the 

neighborhood and sharing the 

love the church has for its 

community. 

The pastoral staff and 

leadership of the church were 

very pleased with the outcome 

of the day. Plans are to not just 

stop with one day of this 

outpouring but multiple 

opportunities for the members 

of FBC Creedmoor to go 

outside of the walls of the 

church and share the love of 

Jesus with the ones who are 

closest to them. 

First Baptist Church, 

established in 1895, sits at the 

crossroads of Main Street and 

Church Street. The Church 

and her members has long 

been a faithful participant in 

the life and history of 

Creedmoor. The Church 

utilizes an approach to reach 

the community and the 

nations through its five core 

values: Worship, Ministry, 

Discipleship, Fellowship and 

Evangelism. Dr. Gerald 

Goodwin currently serves as 

the Interim Senior Pastor 

and Rev. David Richardson 

serves as the Youth Pastor. 

For more information you

Church of Creedmoor Rev.

GROVE 


Christian flags stand 25 feet 

high. The podium style 

monument was ordered from 

a quarry in Georgia in August 

and installed in early 

November. The monument 

includes a US flag etched into 

the stone. 

At the dedication, church 

members gave special thanks 

to Jesse Murphy, Capitol 

Flagpole and Flag Company 

of Raleigh, and Taylor 

Wiggins of Wiggins 

Monument of Rolesville, for 

their guidance, expertise, 

professionalism, design and 

installation work. 

The Veterans Memorial is 

given in loving memory of five 

Grove Hill Community 

residents who loved their 

community and supported 

Grove Hill Church 

throughout their lifetimes: 

They are Linville B. Strother, 

Louise W. Strother, John 

Edward Fuller, Paul W. Wynn 

and Neva M. Wynn. All five 

names are inscribed on the 

monument. 

A patriotic service opened 

at 10 a. m. in the 1890 church 

sanctuary which was 

decorated with a red, white 

and blue theme. A number of 

US flag banners adorned the 

walls. Veterans and family 

members of veterans brought 

photos and military 

memorabilia which were 

displayed in the fellowship 

room. Flags were placed in 

the church cemetery honoring 

the veterans buried there 

including a young soldier who 

was killed by a sniper just 

after WW I ended. 

There was a tale of two 

area WW I vets who had a 

chance encounter while on a 

battlefield in France. 

Prior to Roll Call, 

anthems from four branches 

of service were played 

including: “The Army Goes 

Rolling Along,” “The Marines 

Hymn,” “Anchors Away,” and 

“Off We Go Into The Wild 

Blue Yonder.” 

It was stated at the 

service that while it was 

impossible to gather the 

names of all area veterans, 

109 names were included in 

the Roll Call. Of the 109 

names, 26 were Confederate 

soldiers, 11 served in World 

War 1; 22 served in World 

War II (including one 

stationed at Pearl Harbor on 

Dec. 7, 1941); three were 

Korean War veterans; two 

veterans who fought in 

Vietnam and one Desert 

Storm veteran. Four of the 

109 veterans were women 

(including two who served 

during World War II). 

Pastor J. Lemar Wheeler 

presented a flag lapel pin to 

each of the 14 veterans 

present: Donna Carter 

(Army); Jack Cress (National 

Guard); Joe Metcalf (Air 

Force); Jesse Murphy (Navy); 

Fred Nelson (National 

Guard); Johnny Preddy 

(Army); Rancher Preddy 

(Navy); Tommy Preddy 

(Army); Randy Renn (Army); 

Lawrence Rivers (Air Force); 

Al Strother (Air Force); Pete 

Washington (Marines); 

Howard Wynn (Navy); and 

Rufus Wynn (Army). 

At 11:30 am, the ceremony 

moved to the flag site located 

about 1/10 mile from the 

church. After the crowd had 

gathered at the Memorial, 

“Reveille” was played by 

Dwight Harding, bugler. 

Dr. Lawrence Rivers’ 

opening remarks included an 

informative history of the 

three flags. Raising of the 

flags and placing of the 

wreaths followed. The US 

Flag honoring area veterans 

was raised by Dr. Rivers and 

Donna Carter. The wreath at 

the US Flag was placed by 

Johnny Preddy and Rancher 

Preddy. The North Carolina 

Flag was raised by Al Strother 

and Tony Strother in memory 

of Linville and Louise 

Strother. The wreath at the 

NC Flag was placed by Edith 

Strother Gill and Horace 

Thomas Gill. The Christian 

Flag was raised by Howard 

Wynn and Rufus Wynn in 

memory of John Edward 

Fuller and Paul and Neva 

Wynn. The wreath at the 

Christian Flag was placed by 

Anna Wynn Fuller and Betty 

Wynn Renn. 

Pledges of Allegiance to 

the US Flag and Christian 

Flag were recited as was “The 

North Carolina Toast.” 

Hymns included the “Star 

Spangled Banner,” “The Old 

North State,” and “Onward 

Christian Soldiers.” 

Closing remarks by 

Howard Wynn included 

memories of the church, the 

community and its residents. 

Howard Wynn said, 

‘These flags fly today as a 

tribute to all veterans of 

Grove Hill Church and the 

Grove Hill community, both 

past and present, and to those 

who have supported them.” 

He continued with a 

message taken from the 4th 

Chapter of Joshua where God 

instructed Joshua to erect a 

monument to show future 

generations what God had 

done for them. Howard said, 

“In a similar way, this 

monument and these three 

flags that wave so beautifully 

will serve as a continuing 

reminder to all who pass by 

of what God has done, and 

that He is still working in the 

hearts and lives of the people 

of this church and community. 

After “Taps” was played, 

Pastor Wheeler provided the 

benediction. Those present 

returned to the church for 

fellowship and a meal.

AWARD 


Commissioners Larry 

Robinson and Tim Karan, 

and Mayor Darryl Moss acted 

as communication liaisons to 

the Board and residents of 


Korena Weichel, who has 

been with the city for two and 

a half years, was hired as the 

Administrative Services 

Manager to coordinate and 

assist with the creation and 

implementation of new 

finance-related procedures 

and activities. 

Mercer and Weichel spent 

most of 2009 reconciling the 

city’s records with various 

other agencies and 

positioning the city to comply 

with audit requirements and 

deadlines. 

By October, they had 

corrected the primary finance 

issues. It was then that 

Mercer recommended the 

next phase of his corrective 

action program, which 

transitioned the finance 

responsibilities back over to 

a Finance Director allowing 

Mercer to focus on Water & 

Sewer infrastructure issues. 

Mayor Moss and the 

Creedmoor Board of 

Commissioners agreed that 

this phase would allow the 

city to focus on continued 

compliance and maintenance 

of the previous years’ efforts, 

as well as the “fine-tuning” of 

the Finance Department’s 

activities and reporting 

practices. 

Mr. Ren E. Wiles, CPA 

was hired in December 2009. 

Wiles recognized that the 

city had positioned itself well 

enough to demonstrate its 

achievements by the 

publication of a 

Comprehensive Annual 

Finance Report (the “CAFR”). 

He then began compiling the 

newly reconciled data from 

the previous years for the FY 

2009 CAFR report, as well as 

statistical information from 

the past 10 years. The city’s 

CAFR was submitted, then 

judged by an impartial panel, 

and was found to meet the 

standards of the program 

including demonstrating a 

constructive “spirit of full 

disclosure” to clearly 

communicate its financial 

story. 

Jeff W. McCauley, 

awarded the Certificate of 

Achievement to the City of 

Creedmoor. He presented the 

award on behalf of the GFOA. 

The GFOA is a 

professional association of 

state/provincial and local 

finance officers in the United 

States and Canada, and has 

served the public finance 

profession since 1906. 

During the sixty-four 

years the program has 

operated, it has gained 

widespread recognition as 

the premier indicator of 

excellence in Governmental 

Accounting and Financial 

Reporting. The GFOA has 

over 17,600 members who 

are dedicated to the sound 

management of government 

financial resources. Their 

headquarters are located in 

Chicago, IL with additional 

offices in Washington, D.C. 

McCauley stated that, 

“this is truly a significant 

accomplishment for the City 

of Creedmoor”. To earn the 

award, the City had to 

substantially conform to the 

program’s criteria, which go 

well beyond the minimum 

requirements of generally 

accepted accounting 

principles. 

McCauley further noted 

that, “this is the first time 

that the City of Creedmoor 

has received this honor and 

achieving 

this 

accomplishment reflects the 

professionalism, 

commitment, and vision of 

the City Manager, Tom 

Mercer, the Finance Director, 

Ren Wiles, the Finance & 

Administrative Staff, and 

numerous other individuals, 

as well as many hours of 

hard work. It also reflects a 

high degree of dedication and 

leadership on the part of the 

City’s Mayor and Board of 

Commissioners.” 

Mercer, Weichel and 

Wiles still take a 

collaborative approach in the 

day-to-day finance-related 

operations. 

Creedmoor Mayor Moss 

said that he, commissioners, 

management, staff and 

others are proud that the city 

has received the recognition 

for the major turn-around in 

2009. 

In the award listing for N. 

C. Municipalities receiving 

the Certificate of Excellence 

in 2008, only four 

municipalities of the 74 

recipients were smaller than 


City Manager Mercer 

commented on the 

Achievement for Excellence 

saying, “It’s been a long hard 

road. It took a series of 

strategic steps with the right 

team to bring us to where we 

are today. It’s a long story, 

but a story in the history of 

Creedmoor worth telling.”
