Vikki, Brutus and Shelby 

As fall begins to fade away to the 

past, we set our clocks back, and the 

night comes early, we are reminded 

of what lies ahead in the Sandhills. 

The fall events, outdoor concerts, 

festivals and activities are behind us 

now, and we welcome the new season 

with excitement. 

Thanksgiving with all of the family 

activities is on the horizon as we celebrate 

the day with lots of turkey and 

football. 

The Christmas Season begins earlier 

and earlier every year and will be in 

full swing very shortly. We will be 

attending Christmas parties even 

before the turkey is all gone. 

Veterans Day will be celebrated beginning 

on the 29th of October with 

the “Stroke of Patriotism” and formally 

ending on the 12th this year. 

Make sure to attend the myriad of 

Upcoming events include the “Festival 

of Trees”, lighting up downtown 

Southern Pines and many other Holiday 

Festivities taking place throughout 

the Sandhills. 

Please make a donation to the charitable 

foundation of your choice 

which serve all of our beautiful 

Moore County. Less fortunate families 

are in need and we all should 

volunteer or contribute generously 

this Holiday Season. 

Our sincerest thanks to Megan 

Hunt of Gulley’s Garden Center and 

Martha Gentry of the ReMax Home 

Selling Team, for making the Home 

Beautifi cation contest possible this 

year. We had many votes with the 

homes submitted and Mr. and Mrs.

Saturday is Veterans Day. 

We celebrate Veterans Day on 

the day the guns fell silent in 

Europe following the armistice 

that ended World War I. 

For some, it’s a day off from 

school or work, but for the majority 

of Americans, it means so 

much more. 

On the 11th hour of the 11th 

day of the 11th month of 1918 

an armistice between Germany 

and the Allied nations came 

into effect. In 1919, there were 

plans for parades, public meetings 

and a brief suspension of 

business activities at 11am. 

Veterans Day is the chance to 

thank and honor those who 

have selfl essly served their 

country. 

In increasing numbers, veterans 

are returning that support 

by continuing their service to 

their communities and country. 

The term “veteran” is a person 

who has served honorably in 

the U.S. military. He or she can 

be a citizen who served for four 

years and leaves the service at 

the ripe old age of 24. 

In the Revolutionary War, many 

soldiers were promised cattle 

when their term of service 

ended. There was no system 

for pensions, death benefi ts, or 

disability payments. 

This national disinterest toward 

veterans continued with 

relatively minor reforms until 

the Civil War, when President 

Abraham Lincoln explicitly mentioned 

supporting them after 

the war. 

Fast forward to World War I. 

Large groups of veterans returned 

from overseas; some 

with major needs. But the largest 

change in America’s treatment 

of its veterans came after 

World War II, which was pivotal 

in improving the relationship 

between veterans and their 

government. 

The G.I. Bill of Rights, which 

included easy access to education, 

mortgages, and provisions 

for health care. The Servicemen’s 

Readjustment Act of 

1944 fundamentally changed 

the composition of the American 

workforce by enabling 

an unprecedented number of 

American veterans to attend 

college and trade schools. 

But there is another dynamic, 

and one that has a psychological 

impact on veterans and the 

country as a whole. This is the 

phenomenon we experienced 

with Vietnam and Korea—two 

unpopular wars with the American 

people. 

Veterans from the Korean and 

Vietnam wars were largely 

ignored or worse by average 

Americans and they struggled 

immensely upon their discharge. 

That was an unfortunate period 

in our nation’s history, because 

those men and women had 

served their country during a 

time of war and deserved to be 

treated with respect when they 

returned home. 

Fortunately, today things are 

markedly different. Over 

40,000 nonprofi t organizations 

now exist to support the 

military or veterans. Today’s 

veterans are among our most 

community-oriented citizens. 

Studies show that they volunteer 

an average of 160 hours 

annually, 25 percent more than 

nonveterans. 

Veterans belong to civic groups 

and attend neighborhood meetings, 

often assuming leadership 

roles. 

Veterans Day is a special day 

where we pause to celebrate 

those who have served, and in 

many cases continue to serve, 

our great country.

Sandhills Veterans Festival 2017 

The Sandhills Veterans Festival 

is organized by separate groups 

of like-minded individuals, all 

working for the same goal - to 

support our troops and honor 

our veterans. Through various 

activities, we work together 

to help take care of our local 

veterans. 

The 2012 inaugural weekend 

was an very successful event. 

It has grown each year into this 

year’s week-long Sandhills Veterans 

Festival.

The Fair Barn 

What started as a ‘Wine and 

Design’ type evening with the 

Artists League of the Sandhills 

and the Railhouse Brewery, 

developed into an evening of 

purpose. It’s often that great 

ideas are generated over a 

pint or two, and that’s where 

the vision for Patriotic Expressions 

began. How could local 

artists take their work and turn 

it into something that could 

benefi t their local veterans? 

As that creative team sat over 

a pint in 2015, Grant Roper, 

Founder and Executive Director 

of A Stroke of Patriotism, 

shared the small, everyday 

problems that he so often saw 

in veteran families. Supporting 

our veterans with brushes, canvases, 

and an expression from 

the heart,” said Adele 

Buytenhuys, Director at A 

Stroke of Patriotism. “The 

American fl ag is perhaps the 

greatest inspiration for creating 

a patriotic expression.”

Don’t Burn 

The Turkey 

National statistics show that 

leaving stoves and burners 

unattended while cooking is 

the leading cause of holiday 

fi res, part of the reason why 

fi refi ghters respond to more 

incidents during Thanksgiving 

and Christmas than any other 

time of year, according to a 

news release from the Las 

Cruces Fire Department. 

The fi re department reminds 

holiday chefs to use caution 

when preparing their holiday 

feast and recommends 

following these and other safety 

tips: 

• Start with a clean cooking 

area and keep the area well 

maintained. 

• Keep the cooking area off 

limits to children and pets. 

• Limit the number of people 

cooking to avoid crowding 

and accidents. 

• Avoid wearing loose clothing 

and jewelry that could 

interfere with cooking. 

• Never leave stoves or 

ovens — indoor or outdoor 

— unattended. Turn off all 

burners and other devices 

when leaving the cooking 

area. 

• Deep-frying a turkey is 

popular but there are 

unique dangers that come 

along with this method 

of cooking and extra 

precautions should be 

taken: 

• Never use a turkey fryer 

indoors, in a garage, on 

a porch or on any other 

surface that can catch fi re. 

It is recommended you 

place the fryer a minimum 

of 10 feet from all surfaces 

and structures, including 

walls and fences. 

• Ensure the hose connecting 

the fryer to the propane 

tank is free from cracks, 

and long enough to keep 

the tank and fryer a safe 

distance away from each 

other. 

• Avoid fi lling the pot with too 

much cooking oil as the 

turkey will displace some oil. 

• Be sure that the turkey is 

completely thawed. Slowly 

place and remove turkey 

from fryer. Avoid dropping or 

quickly removing turkey and 

wear gloves while using a 

fryer. 

• Do not leave fryer 

unattended and monitor oil 

temperature regularly. 

• In the event of fi re, call 

911. Avoid using water to 

extinguish grease or oil fi res. 

• Follow all directions and 

safety measures included 

with the burner and fryer. 

Keep a fi re extinguisher handy 

and know how to properly use 

it.

How To Be Wealthy 

Here’s the trick to ‘becoming 

wealthy,’ says author who 

studies millionaires 

Getting rich is about more than 

making a lot of money — it’s 

about managing the money you 

have. 

Tom Corley, author of “Rich 

Kids: How to Raise Our Children 

to Be Happy and Successful in 

Life,” has a formula for that. 

He goes by the 80:20 rule, 

which suggests that you live off 

of 80 percent of your paycheck 

and save the rest. 

“It’s a simple rule, really,” he 

writes in the book. “[It] requires 

that you set aside 20 percent 

of every paycheck and learn 

to live off the remaining 80 

percent. 

You do this no matter how 

much money you make. 

“If you stick to the 80:20 

rule,” he adds, “you will save 

a lot of money and you’ll be 

wealthy long before you reach 

retirement age.” 

spending, Corley has a few 

suggestions: 

Don’t spend more than 25 

percent of your monthly net pay 

on housing. 

It doesn’t matter if you own or 

rent. 



on entertainment. 

This includes movies, 

restaurants and bars. 

To cut costs, cancel your 

subscriptions to unused 

streaming services or 

magazines. 

And, if you’re headed out, have 

a meal or glass of wine at home 

to avoid overspending on both 

dinner and drinks. 



on auto loans, and never lease. 

Buy your cars and take good 

care of them. 

Stay away from accumulating 

credit card debt. If you are 

doing this, it means you are 

living beyond your means and 

need to cut back. 

Always invest your savings. 

Never gamble your savings on 

get-rich-quick schemes.

Identity theft is an epidemic, 

according to TransUnion, 19 

people fall victim to identity 

theft every minute. Here are 

the top ten myths about identity 

theft and, more importantly, the 

truth. 

Myth 1: Identity theft is a victimless 

crime. 

According to TransUnion, it 

takes the average victim an 

estimated $500 and 30 hours 

to resolve each identity theft 

crime. 

According to the FBI, a single 

scam can destroy a company, 

cost investors billions of dollars, 

or wipe out a family’s life 

savings. 

Myth 2: Identity theft is just a 

fi nancial crime. 

While most criminals are after 

your hard-earned money, many 

others have additional ulterior 

motives. 

Criminal identity theft occurs 

when a person abuses faulty or 

stolen identifi cation to evade 

the law. 

Medical identity theft, involves 

a criminal lying to receive medical 

treatment and insurance 

benefi ts. 

Employment fraud involves a 

criminal using a stolen Social 

Security number to secure a job 

and benefi ts. 

Myth 3: My personal information 

(address, etc.) is not valuable 

to a thief. 

Thieves will fi nd a way to abuse 

To keep all of your sensitive information 

safe, adopt the habit 

of only providing information 

on a need-to-know basis. Businesses 

often ask for personal 

information they do not need. 

Stop oversharing. 

Myth 4: Social networking is 

safe. 

Speaking of oversharing, social 

networks are a part of daily life. 

Selfi es, brunch check-ins, new 

friends, and “likes” all help 

defi ne our online identities, 

but these carefree details can 

also be harvested by thieves to 

affect your real life. More than 

half of teens and young adults 

admit to being cyberbullied. 

Myth 5: Identity theft criminals 

don’t know their victims. 

While credit card theft often 

comes as a result of a massive, 

publicized data breach, other 

types of identity theft can be 

caused by trusted friends, family, 

and coworkers. 

Be extremely wary about sharing 

your usernames, passwords, 

or fi nancial account 

information with people you 

know. 

Myth 6: I would immediately 

know if my identity was stolen. 

Checking credit card statements 

on a monthly basis is not 

enough to protect your identity. 

Thieves usually want to open 

and abuse new accounts that 

would never appear on your

US Military Entrepreneurs 

Veteran entrepreneurs are 

emerging as one of the fastest 

growing segments of new 

entrepreneurs. 

According to a recent Small 

Business Administration 

(SBA) study there are approximately 

4.2 to 5.5 million 

veteran-owned businesses in 

the United States. 

The study further revealed 

that 22% of veterans are 

either considering starting 

or purchasing a business in 

the near future or are in the 

business start up or purchase 

phase now. 

accounting to supply chain 

management and so on and 

so on. 

One organization that is 

working hard to promote 

entrepreneurship among 

Veterans is the Veteran’s 

Corporation. Headquartered 

in Alexandria, Virginia, 

the Veteran’s Corporation 

bills itself as “the complete 

business source for current 

and prospective Veterans 

and Service-Disabled Veteran 

business owners, and 

for companies interested in 

working with Veteran-owned 

businesses.”

The SBA study was done as a 

result of The Veterans Entrepreneurship 

and Small Business 

Development Act the 

study found that: 

More than one-third of “new 

veteran-entrepreneurs” and 

current veteran business 

owners had obtained skills 

from their active duty service 

that were directly relevant to 

business ownership. 

This should come as no surprise 

when you consider the 

intensity of the training and 

the emphasis on discipline 

that comes with military 

training. 

Over the course of their career 

the typical longer-term 

Veteran receives at least 

cursory training in everything 

from time management 

to employee relations 

to supervisory techniques 

to dealing with subordinates 

(employees) to budgeting and 

Success Is Hard 

Failure Is Easy ! 

The Veterans Corporation 

serves transitioning military 

personnel and all Veterans 

of the U.S. Armed Forces, 

National Guard and Reserve, 

seeking to link them with 

partners and purchasing 

agents in both the public and 

private sectors. 

Members will find assistance 

in securing capital for 

a business, entrepreneurial 

education, access to markets 

and services, and business 

networking.

Tips for Strong, 

Secure Passwords 

A strong password is your fi rst 

line of defense against intruders 

and imposters. 

Never give out your password to 

anyone. Never give it to friends, 

even if they’re really good 

friends. 

Don’t just use one password. 

It’s possible that someone 

working at a site where you use 

that password could pass it 

on or use it to break into your 

accounts at other sites. 

Create passwords that are easy 

to remember but hard for others 

to guess. 

When possible, use a phrase 

such as “I started 7th grade at 

Lincoln Middle School in 2010” 

and use the initial of each word 

like this: “Is7gaLMSi#2010.” 

On some sites you might even 

be able to type in the entire 

phrase. 

Make the password at least 8 

characters long. The longer the 

better. Longer passwords are 

harder for thieves to crack. 

Include numbers, capital letters 

and symbols. Consider using a 

$ instead of an S or a 1 instead 

of an L. 

Don’t use dictionary words. 

There’s even software that 

criminals use that can guess 

words used in dictionaries. 

Don’t post it in plain sight. This 

might seem obvious but studies 

have found that a lot of people 

post their password on their 

monitor with a sticky note. Very 

very bad idea. 

Programs or web services like 

Lastpass (Windows and Mac) 

let you create a different very 

strong password for each of 

your sites. 

But you only have to remember 

the one password to access the 

program. 

Don’t fall for “phishing” attacks. 

Be very careful before clicking 

on a link (even if it appears to 

be from a legitimate site) asking 

you to log in, change your 

password or provide any other 

personal information. 

Make sure your devices are 

secure. The best password in 

the world might not do you any 

good if someone is looking over 

your shoulder while you type 

or if you forget to log out on a 

cybercafe computer. 

Malicious software, including 

“keyboard loggers” that record 

all of your keystrokes, has been 

used to steal passwords and 

other information. 

To increase security, make 

sure you’re using up-to-date 

anti-malware software and that 

your operating system is up-todate. 

Use a “password” or fi ngerprints 

for your phone too. Most 

phones can be locked so that 

the only way to use them is to 

type in a code, typically a string 

of numbers or maybe a pattern 

you draw on the screen. 

Sometimes when people with 

bad intentions fi nd unlocked 

phones, they use them to steal 

the owners’ information, make 

a lot of calls, or send texts that 

look like they’re coming from 

the owner.

TIC-TAC PUZZLE 

TIC-TAC RULES 

BATTLESHIP PUZZLE 

BATTLESHIP RULES 

Each Battleship puzzle represents an ocean with a hidden fleet of ships, 

which may be oriented horizontally or vertically within the grid such 

that no ship touches another, not even diagonally. 

The numbers on the right and on the bottom of the grid show how many 

squares in the corresponding row and column are occupied by ship 

segments. Occasionally some squares may contain given ship or water 

segments to help start the puzzle. The object is to discover where all 

ships are located. 

Classic Battleship puzzles come in various sizes, with different fleets 

for each size. For example, the fleet of a Classic Battleship 10x10 puzzle 

consists of one battleship, two cruisers, three destroyers and four 

submarines. 

Submarines consist of a single round segment, destroyers have two 

end segments, cruisers have two end segments and a middle segment, 

and the battleship is constructed of two end segments and two middle 

segments. 

Any remaining squares in the grid contain water segments, which are 

shown as a symbol of water or as an “X”.

MAGIC WAND 

A loving grandmother dreamed 

up a new way to surprise her 

grandchildren during a Christmas 

visit to her home. 

She combined a pretend wand 

with the standard wireless control 

for her tree lights to create 

the very fi rst Magic Light Wand.

Caramel Cheese Cake 

15. Spread cheesecake evenly 

on top of blondie, then put in 

refrigerator until fi rm about 3-4 

hours. 

16. Combine apples, lemon 

juice, nutmeg, cinnamon and 

brown sugar in a medium 

saucepan and toss to coat. 

17. Add butter and cook apples 

on medium-high for about 15- 

20 minutes, or until at preferred 

softness. 

18. Allow apples to cool for 10- 

15 minutes, then put on top of 

cheesecake. 

19. To make cinnamon 

whipped cream, freeze a metal 

bowl and whisk attachment for 

10-15 minutes. 

20. Remove bowl from freezer, 

add heavy whipping cream, 

and whip on high speed until it 

begins to thicken. 

21. Add powdered sugar and 

cinnamon and whip until it you 

get stiff peaks. 

22. Pipe whipped cream 

around edges of cheesecake. 

23. Drizzle more caramel sauce 

over fi nished cheesecake, if 

desired. 

*Recipe for caramel sauce 

makes about 1 1/2 cups worth 

of caramel. I made a whole 

recipe and used about half of 

it in the cheesecake and then 

drizzled more over the top of 

the cheesecake. You’ll end up 

with leftover caramel. 

The children were so delighted 

by this instant holiday tradition 

that the family decided to 

start this company and share 

the magic with children everywhere. 

No matter what treasures are 

waiting for you under the Christmas 

tree, the sheer delight on 

a child’s face will always be 

your greatest gift!

current statements. 

Cyber criminals are also smart. 

Thieves know you were just 

offered a year of free credit reporting 

after the latest department 

store breach. They will 

wait 365 days before using and 

abusing your information. 

Your best defense is to remain 

vigilant over your identity by 

requesting a credit report from 

each of the three major bureaus, 

at least once a year. The 

Center recommends requesting 

one credit report every four 

months. 

Myth 7: My small business is 

too small for hackers. 

In a 2012 report by Trend Micro, 

65% of small businesses 

admitted their organizations’ 

sensitive information is not 

encrypted or safeguarded. In 

that same study, 62% of small 

businesses said they do not 

routinely back up data. 

Hackers know that most small 

businesses do not have the 

appropriate time or resources 

dedicated to cyber security, 

which is why small business are 

so aggressively targeted with 

cyber attacks. 

Myth 8: Most identity theft cases 

occur online. 

While data breaches certainly 

add to the growing number 

of victims affected by identity 

theft, many cases occur with no 

ties to the Internet. 

A lost wallet, checkbook, or 

Social Security card can trigger 

the long and tiresome identity 

theft recovery process. Credit 

cards can be skimmed at a gas 

pump or restaurant. Thieves 

are not above jumping into 

dumpsters to steal improperly 

discarded information. Criminals 

will also steal mail right 

out of an unlocked mailbox. 

More than half of identity theft 

crimes occur offline. 

The best place for your most 

sensitive information is in a 

safe in your home. Sensitive 

mail should always be placed 

in a locked mailbox, and trash 

should be run through a crosscut 

shredder. 

Myth 9: My antivirus program 

keeps me free from cyber 

threats. 

Antivirus software is an important 

element in keeping 

your computer and personal 

information safe, but it can’t 

prevent all cyber threats. Most 

antivirus programs only detect 

a fraction of known malware 

and viruses Run your antivirus 

software often, and check 

for updates, but understand it 

can’t single-handedly keep your 

information safe. 

Myth 10: You can’t protect yourself 

from identity theft. 

Be careful about the personally 

identifying information you 

share online, especially on 

social media. Shred mail and 

documents with account information. 

Never carry your Social 

Security number. Opt out of 

junk mail and register for the 

National Do Not Call Registry. 

Consider investing in an identity 

theft protection service. Keep 

your computer and devices updated 

and protected with antivirus 

programs and firewalls. 

Take an active role in protecting 

your identity, so if something 

does happen, you can catch it 

early.
